On bemore, you are completely free to set out your own price structure. It's up to you to charge what you want for your time. We do, however, recommend taking your training, your experience in the subject, and your location into consideration.
bemore offers three modalities for private lessons. You have the flexibility to set a different price for each one. They are:
- Online lessons
- Lessons you give at your home or 'home venue'
- Lessons where you are willing to travel to the student's venue
Create Lesson / Edit Lesson Pages
To add a new lesson, simply click on the Add New button and select 'Private Lesson'. Like this:
To edit any lesson in the lessons tab, click on the ellipses (the three dots) to the right-hand side, and then select Edit from the drop-down menu, like this:
You will see the Price options for each of the three lesson types, like this:
An online lesson is a 'Skype-style' lesson. Although we actually recommend using the Appear.In platform. It just works effortlessly and reliably, and it doesn't even require your student to have their own account. It's also free to use.
Because of the convenience involved teaching online, you may be willing to adjust your pricing accordingly.
Travelling to a student's home or venue
When you specify that you are willing to travel a certain distance to visit students at their location, you may want to charge an additional premium to cover that cost in terms of both time and travel expense.
Rather than having a separate travel cost, on bemore you factor this in as an increased lesson cost. For example, if you are charging £40 for an hour's online lesson, you may wish to charge £60 or more for an hour's lesson that involves you travelling to the student's venue.
Your home venue
You may wish to charge a premium for welcoming students to your home or your 'home venue' such as a studio or hall. Of course, this is entirely up to you.
Find all of these options on your own Teacher Dashboard.

FINAL TUNE-UP TALE OF TWO HALVESSeptember 8th, 2015 by wwcpresident
Wakefield, MA – Football coaches love games like Friday night's final pre-season scrimmage for Wakefield against Lynn English. There was a lot to be pleased with, but not so much that the team can be satisfied with its performance. Indeed, there were plenty of bright spots, especially during an efficient first half. But the second half showed there still is work to do to build the depth a team needs over the course of as long season. As for the game itself, Wakefield shot out to a 22-6 lead in the third quarter before falling to the Lynn English Bulldogs 24-22. The 2015 edition of the Wakefield Warriors opens the regular season at home this coming Friday night, September 11 at 7pm against non-league rival Beverly.
First Quarter
Wakefield took the opening kick-off and put together an impressive 14 play drive, lasting 5:37 and covering 74 yards, to jump out to an early lead. The first nine plays were all runs with seniors Zack Kane and Paul McGunigle sharing the load, save for one 9 yard scramble by senior quarterback Ned Buckley. With the ball at the 32 yard line, Wakefield tried its first pass of the night with Buckley rolling right and finding junior fullback PJ Iannuzzi out in the flat. PJ gathered in the pass and rumbled down to the 12 yard line for a 21 yard completion. Deep in the red zone now at the Lynn English 11, Wakefield's offense sputtered a bit as two runs lost 2 yards and a pass to the end zone went incomplete. On 4th and 13, Buckley rolled left and threw a touchdown strike to senior flanker Eric Smith who showed good hands on the play as well. Buckley and Smith hooked up again on the ensuing two point conversion try and the Warriors led 8-0.
Lynn English could not gain a yard on their first possession and quickly surrendered the ball. Wakefield then put together a second good drive in a row featuring a 10 yard gain off a jet sweep by senior Kevin Russo, an 11 yard jet sweep the other way by Eric Smith, and a 14 yard completion from Buckley to …who else Eric Smith. Wakefield looked well on its way to another score before a turnover inside the 20 yard line put an end to the drive.
Second Quarter
The Bulldogs again had difficulty with the Warrior defense and punted away yet again. Senior Alex Janscy from his linebacker position, along with the Warrior defensive line was making things difficult for the Bulldog offense. However, the Wakefield offense picked up where it had left off from the last drive, keeping the ball on the ground featuring Kane, McGunigle, and Russo. Buckley finished off the 9 play all run drive with a 1 yard bootleg touchdown run around left tackle, taking a tumble in the end zone. Junior quarterback Kobey Nadeau came in for the two point conversion try and threw a one step drop bullet to senior receiver Tighe Beck and Wakefield had a 16-0 lead.
Lynn English took possession with 5:23 to go in the first half on their own 25 yard line. A 7 yard pass and two short runs yielded a first down and the Bulldogs gained another first down on a Wakefield pass interference penalty. Still gaining yards were at a premium until the Bulldog halfback broke through the line, and shake and baked his way 40 yards to the Warrior 9, forcing several Wakefield defenders to whiff on their tackle attempts. Three plays later Lynn English was on the scoreboard. A rush for conversion was stuffed by Logan Dunn and Wakefield led 16-6 at the half.
Third Quarter
Lynn English went three and out on their first possession of the second half and Wakefield maintained momentum by scoring on its first possession. Big plays during the 11 play drive included a 9 yard run by fullback Zach Kane and a 26 yard completion to tight end Mike Moran from quarterback Kobey Nadeau who would play quarterback for the 2nd half. Moran did a great job keeping his feet in bounds. Wakefield again showed a patient control offense eating up five minutes off the clock.
As Wakefield started to shuttle more and more players into game action, Lynn English was able to convert three plays of 20 or more yards on its next drive to put themselves in the red zone as the fourth quarter began.
Fourth Quarter
The Bulldogs actually got inside the Wakefield 10 yard line before a 3rd down offensive pass interference put the ball at the Warrior 20. However, facing 3rd and goal, the Bulldog quarterback was able to scramble and then take advantage of poor Wakefield tackling to score and close the deficit to 22-12.
Wakefield could do nothing on its next possession and Lynn English took over again with 4:42 left in the game. Playing against many junior varsity players, the Lynn English halfback broke a 67 yard touchdown run on 1st down to close the gap to 22-18. At the time, Wakefield's ability to prevent three two point conversion attempts loomed large as the Warriors were now hanging on.
The Warrior offense could not get a first down on its next possession and gave the Bulldogs the ball with 2:03 left in the game. It took the Bulldogs only five plays to score the winning touchdown with 43 seconds left to play.
Notes: In addition to Jancsy and Dunn providing some strong play, linemen who looked good for the Warriors included seniors Mike Hakioglu, Matt Mercurio, and Mike Moran as well as juniors Joe Connell and CJ Wixon….. PJ Iannuzzi opened some eyes with some strong lead blocking on the offensive side of the ball….Ned Buckley looked comfortable on all three of his first half drives….sophomore lineman Christian Hayes is lost for the season due to a leg injury suffered in the pre-season tilt against Methuen….junior Carmen Sorrentino is week-to-week as he too suffered an injury against Methuen.

LONDON, United Kingdom, Mar 7 – Liverpool winger Sadio Mane is confident that the Merseyside outfit can beat Premier League rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Manager Jurgen Klopp's side occupy third position in the league standings but only trail United by two points, which means a victory for the Reds would see them leapfrog their hosts.
Mane admits United are one of the top teams in the world, but believes Liverpool are on the same level and have the quality to beat anyone.
"It will not be easy but I've always said we can beat any team in the world," said Mane, according to Sky Sports. "Honestly they (Manchester United) are one of the best teams in England, of course in the world also, but we are as well.
"It's the dream for every single player to play this kind of game so everyone is looking forward to it."
Liverpool are on a seven-game unbeaten run across all competitions and come into the United clash on the back of a goalless draw with FC Porto in the Champions League – having won the first leg 5-0.

Tobacco major Philip Morris International Inc. (PM - Free Report) has come up with a new initiative – PMI IMPACT – to combat illicit trade practices. PM IMPACT is headed by a seven member council of external independent experts. These members have extensive experience in the field of law, anti-corruption and law enforcement.
The council will oversee the grants to put a check on smuggling and related crimes. Philip Morris has pledged to expend as much as $100 million for the initiative. PM IMPACT will also raise funds from public or non-governmental organizations.
Illicit trade of cigarettes has been on the rise over the past few years, resulting from higher excise taxes imposed. This in turn gives rise to smuggling of counterfeit cigarettes at lower prices. Moreover, the fake cigarettes are far more injurious to health than their counterparts, which mar the reputation of tobacco majors like Reynolds American Inc. , Philip Morris, Vector Group Limited (VGR - Free Report) and Altria Group Inc. (MO - Free Report) .
Philip Morris, which currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), has been striving to fight tobacco smuggling for a long time. In 2004, the European Commission, together with 10 Member States and Philip Morris, announced a 12-year agreement to counter cigarette smuggling and counterfeiting. The agreement is scheduled to end in Jul 2016. The European Union is considering an extension of the agreement.
Apart from Philip Morris, Reynolds is trying to confront tobacco trafficking. It set up a website – www.thenewtobaccoroad.com – in 2014 showing how cigarettes are smuggled from lower-tax states to higher-tax ones in the Northeast via I-95. The initiative was part of its effort to raise awareness about cigarette smuggling in the east coast along Interstate 95 – the New Tobacco Road – which has turned into a key transit route for illegal activities.

How Acura MDX Was Tested By Speed
The cars, which the Acura concern produces are tested on various stages and the most important of them are the test of safety, because the safety of the customers for Acura is the top priority, but the next one – is the test of speed. This is what makes the Acura cars great, fun and wanted – it is the speed. Therefore, the new models are always tested on speed.
The great SUV type of car, Acura MDX of the new generation was piloted on the German roads for the tests of speed, on the same place, where one of its main competitors was also tested. Body of North American car is completely hidden under the black veil, as it is always on the test roads, so to judge about the changes in the conformation of the machine was very difficult. But the new model is available in picture all over the wide web and on the official Acura websites.
Many other great cars are also tested on the German rings in terms of speed. The consumer survey of the drivers of Acura showed that speed is important when they choose a car. In addition, it became known that even hybrid versions go under the same tests, because this auto concern wants to prove that even hybrids are fun. No wonder why the cars are in quite a demand and most of the time satisfy greatly what people wanted from them.

It's been far too long, and it's time to get back on that beer education…
Every Sud Started Somewhere…
Installment III: Doppelbock
IBUs 16-26 | SRM 6-25 | ABV 7-10% | FG: 1.016-1.024
This lager, in all of its rich, sweet and full-bodied glory, served as my "a-ha" moment for malty beers. And malty it is. With minimal hop presence (just enough to act as a balancer and prevent cloying sweetness), hints of dark fruits and caramel (owing to specialty malts), lingering roast and warming alcohol in the finish create complex beer that is, as history dictates, a meal in a glass.
Its origins date back to the 1600s. Munich consumers named the style "double bock," in 1780, when it was first released to the public, and we have Brother Barnabus, famous brewer of the monks of St. Francis of Paula, to thank for it. Monks brewed the sweet, heavy lager to sustain them during lent, and it was infamously referred to as "liquid bread." The founding example of the style is Paulaner Salvator, a fact that is frequently paid homage to, as the –ator suffix has become an indicator of the style (the name Salvator was used broadly for doppelbocks from all breweries until it was legally secured by Paulaner, now a secular brewery).
Doppelbocks were historically brewed via decoction mashing, which can result in a caramelizing and melanoidin effect. The style's indicative sweetness is a result of the minimal hop character, and it should be fairly attenuated. Cold conditioning smoothes out the rich malt bill, and bready toffee notes makes this liquid bread ideal for food pairings that echo the lager's high impact and richness, such as chocolate cake, roasted duck or venison, and dark fruit reductions.
Commercial examples include Paulaner Salvator, Ayinger Celebrator, Bell's Consecrator, Schmaltz Rejewvenator and Spaten Optimator.

This blog is going to be my friend for the next few months as I reflect on how to facilitate an online learning community.
So far I have undertaken a learning styles quiz. My Learning Styles results are as follows:
Ref (1) Sen (5) Vis (3) Glo (1)
This suggests I am a slightly reflective and global learner leaning towards the sensory and visual dimensions. In practice I think I learn in various ways (like most people) and adopt different styles depending on the circumstances. Although I have found the first two weeks of this course quite tricky reflecting a sensing style rather than an intuitive style perhaps :)
I have also posted a bit of information about myself on the Blackboard site, posted to the GoogleGroups forum and tried to read as much as I can from the links posted there. I've also 'partially' taken part in a 'virtual chat' session despite internet connection problems. I've also managed to set this blog up - although I confess I've been blogging for family and friends for a while now.
My reflection so far - 2 weeks into the course - has been posted in the GoogleGroups forum in a response to a post by Kevin. Overall, feeling excited about new learning and a little anxious about the method of that learning!
That's it - the first post complete and a brief summary of my activity to date. Hopefully future posts will involve a bit more thought and a little less description!

Great to see you up and running. Learning styles are interesting things. I find that the hard part is using the knowledge to my advantage in different situations. I find myself writing notes and later find I draw a picture of the concept or idea and think why didn't I do this first off it would have saved me time and helped my thinking!

What is a realistic time frame?
To go from 245 to 135 or so? I do not want to set myself for unrealistic goals when it comes to time.
It depends on your body and willingness to commit to a lifestyle change. Most people tend to lose alot at first and then really slow down as they get closer to goal. I would think 6 months to 1 year is possible.
It took me 18 months to lose 100lb and I was quite dedicated. Lost the first 50lb in less than 6 months but took me twice that long to lose the next 50.
Hard to say depends on so many things, but I'm still losing 2.3lb most weeks and 1 lb on the others. It does take longer as you get nearer to goal though. I'm losing quite quickly as exercising most days (50 mins as well as walking to school to get children and looking after a toddler) and have cut calories a lot (by about 750, keep thinking I should increase a little but not that hungry so will do that when I stall) and so far (in 12 or 13 weeks when I restarted) haven't stalled and also drinking lots of water. If you're trying to work on how long it will take you I'd assume losing a pound per week except at TOM and weeks when you're on holiday for a realistic idea. So I should be at least another 40ish lb less by this time next year if I stick to plan. I know if I don't give myself a time based goal I won't stick to plan, but if I don't reach goal in time I tend to binge. TA the end of the day it doesn't really matter how long it takes. I've been trying to lose pregnancy weight from my first pregnancy for 10 years now - if I'd done it slowly - even 2 lb a month I could of lost 25lb a year and probably wouldn't of been overweight now so I wouldn't worry too much about time as long as it comes off.
Keep in mind we are all different and are bodies will do different things. I am older and it has taken me 9 months to lose 50 pounds. I am currently losing at a rate of about 3 pounds a month. I'm quite alright with that and am hoping because I am doing it slowly I will be more likely to keep it off for good.
Be careful about setting big goals and then being discouraged or disappointed if you don't make them. It's most important that you get the weight off, not how long it takes.
It's very easy to compare ourselves to others and how well they are doing. There are some here on the boards who have lost terrific amounts of weight in fairly short periods of time. That may or not be you. What you need to do is find a program you can stick with and that works for you. If you lose 2 pounds a week that's great, if it's only 1/2 pound a week that's great too cause it's still losing!
You CAN do this!
It really really does depend. I would think 6 months is NOT realistic, however, given the end number is pretty low, and we are talking 110 pounds.
I was pretty committed and focused and lost my first 100 pounds in a little over a year (55 weeks). Some people have definitely lost faster than me, but for most everyone, the rate of loss does slow as you get smaller.
I tend to hate time-based weight goals. As I got close to the year mark, I wondered if I could lose 100 pounds in a year. I started to feel like a failure for "only" losing 90+ pounds in that time! Can you imagine? I stopped trying to force it, and several weeks later, happily made it too 100 pound lost.
It is really hard to say. Personally, it has taken me 18 months to lose 65 pounds, but then I'm not really "hard core". It you simply calulate based on losing 1% of your body weight per week (a "safe" amount) it would take about 14 months.
I would give yourself a bare minimum of 15 months. But does it really matter how long it's going to take? The most important thing is that you're able to take it off and keep it off. What's two years of your life in the long run?
thinpossible said it very well!
I'm glad I read this post because I needed to hear what Heather had to say. I really want to lose 50 lbs. in a year and I'll probably come up just short of that. Putting time on a goal often leads to failure. In fact, every time I've tried to lose weight before I've had a time goal and I've always failed. The failure came because I gave up when I didn't make my time goals. It's the tourtise and the hare thing.
What is a realistic goal depends on your body but also your personality. I'm an ADD perfectionist. That means I WANT to do things perfectly but that desire is negatively impacted by the impulsiveness that comes with my ADD. THIS time around I've decided that the best way to success is to trust that small changes will add up over time. I've never TRIED to do right by myself for 9 months before. I've never lasted that long. I have to lose slowly because I'm not into niggling detail (like daily calorie counting) so it won't be possible for me to lose fast unless I do that. Maybe you ARE the personality type who loves detail and are a very driven, type A. If so, you can lose it a lot faster than I am but NOT in 6 months. I've never heard of anyone outside of the Biggest Loser dropping 100 lbs. in 6 months.
What's the difference between someone who loses 100 lbs. in 8 months and someone it takes 2 years to lose the weight? Ultimately nothing because 2 years and 2 days later, they'll BOTH still have to work to keep the weight off. Getting the weight off is only half the equation. Keeping it off will require just as much dedication so you may as well start out as you mean to continue because it will never be 'over'.
I personally don't set time goals. Are you trying to lose weight? Or change your lifestyle to support your new weight? If it is the former, you'll make time-based goals and suffer the pressures that accompany that. You know -- the OMG I'm 3 lbs behind my goal! OMG! I can't go on vacation, I have 2 lbs to lose!
If you define success as changing your lifestyle and measure it by being on plan dietarily and exercise-wise, and let your body take care of itself, you'll do just fine.
You need to keep in mind that there are only so many factors that you can control in this process: you can control your diet and your exercise. You can't control your basal metabolic rate (other than through exercise, of course), your age, your gender, and life in general.
Sucky answer, I know, but I learned the hard way!
It has taken me nearly a year to loose nearly 60 lbs. Hopefully in the next year I will loose close to the same, that puts me at a little over a lb a week. However there are several ladies around here who have lost 100+ in the same year I lost 60. Some days I'm jealous and impatient, but at the end of the day I'm just grateful to be away from where I started.
It took me under a year to lose 100 pounds. I'm stuck right now at 165 so there is no telling when I'll make goal...as long as I make it then it's all good! ;)
I wanted to throw out also that smaller goals seem to be very helpful to a lot of people in all sorts of life changes including weight loss. I think it is pretty tough to look 110 lbs in the face and have that be your only goal. I would encourage you to consider any number of shorter term goals and some of different lengths. The combination of meeting those goals will get you to the big overarching goal but you can give yourself permission to sort of 'ignore' the big goal and focus on smaller ones. There are any number of ways to do this and I personally had similar experience w/time restrained weight goals so I would consider avoiding those. It might look something like this:
Daily Goal:
Whatever you are particularly focused on for today. Water, exercise minutes, fruit/veggie servings, calorie count, journaling. Pick one or 2 to focus on today. As you get going, sustaining an established habit might fall in these goals if you are slipping a bit.
Weekly goal:
Probably related to what you are doing on the daily goal but on a bigger scale. Total # of minutes exercising, days on plan, avg calorie consumption. I would consider 2-3 of these at the most.
Monthly goal:
Again, some relation to the weekly goals but may have something that just has to happen a few times that month (do extended exercise like a hike or long bike ride, research a type of new recipe or food, etc) but could also be the accumulation of the weekly goals (total exercise minutes, etc).
Weight goal: You might consider a mini-goal for weight and/or measurements with possibly 10% increments. You get huge health benefits with even a 10% loss so those can be very good things to strive for and are a little more doable. You could possibly set yourself a timeline goal. Maybe consider a range of dates if you really want a deadline.
Hope that helps a bit. Good job on your loss so far!
When I started my healthy way of life I didn't set any time lines. My one and only goal was to get heathy. The fact that I was/am highly motivated and firmly committed is what kept the ball rolling, and I knew that I did not want the losing period to drag on forever. I knew I could lose the weight, I've done it before, but I have never even tried at maintaining. I have been very excited to get to the maintenance phase of keeping it off. This is uncharted territory for me and I am looking so forward to working on and perfecting the art of living thin...so exciting! :D

CCC: Karen Head's Golden Acorn-Trimmed Nuno Felt Scarf
Textile Artist Karen Head chose to base the design for her Nuno felt scarf on Jane Austen's pelisse coat, using luxury wool, silk and thread in golden yellow and brown hues as a nod to the romance author's stunning garment.
Karen used the nuno felt process, taking layers of golden wool and silk and merging them together using heat and pressure, to create the base of her scarf.
For the trim, Karen used a traditional crochet method, using golden threads she sourced from India, as well as threads she dyed brown herself.

Tomorrow will be the 30th day of not eating animal products, gluten, or sugar. I have a confession to make, I have had sugar and gluten. Both were purely accidental. On a very hot day last week, I took my 3-year-old friend out to lunch at one of our favorite neighborhood spots; they make amazing lemonade. My little friend loves lemonade, truth be told, I do too, and this place makes a super yummy watermelon lemonade. Halfway through my glass of watermelon lemonade I realized…sugar! I was not going to ruin a perfectly enjoyable lunch by freaking out. I crashed horribly about an hour after finishing the lemonade. The sugar gave me a true high of false energy then I felt awful and was on the verge of needing a nap. Was the lemon delicious? Yes. Was it worth it? No. Today I picked up a lentil, veggie salad from a little organic shop right below the yoga studio I teach at in my neighborhood. I realized as I was eating the salad that there was couscous mixed in…gluten! I felt great after finishing the salad; veggies, protein, carbs, and some healthy fat from olive oil drizzled on it, a great meal. In the first two weeks of changing my diet I would have freaked out over these two slips. I wanted everything to be perfect. Truth be told, there is no perfect. For me, a perfect diet is one that fuels my body so I can do all the activities I love doing and leaves me feeling healthy.
The big question I am now asking myself is, will I continue with this diet just as it is? I am not 100% certain. I know I am going to remain vegan, no animal products. This is something I have been wanting to change in my diet for quite some time and I am sorry I waited so long. As for the gluten and sugar? I am going to keep them to absolute bare minimums while doing my best to keep them out of my diet 99% of the time. The amount of label reading to ensure I did not ingest these products has been really hard for me. I was already a label reader prior to this change, but eliminating gluten and sugar took it to a whole new level. I want to keep gluten and sugar out of my diet as much as possible, but I also want to fully enjoy going out to eat and sharing meals with friends. And, I really miss chocolate. There, I said it. I made raw brownies recently (http://www.mynewroots.org/site/2011/04/the-raw-brownie-2/- I added some cinnamon and cayenne to the recipe), they were great. These brownies tasted just close enough to the real thing to make me desperately long for the real thing. We all have our weak spots.
I feel better. I have more energy. All of the little digestive issues I was having dissipated over the course of the last few weeks. While there are foods I have missed, I have not missed the bloating, indigestion, severe acid reflux, or other issues that would be far too much information for this blog. I feel more creative and curious in my kitchen. My body longs for fresh veggies and fruits, which makes me very excited since the seasons are beginning to change and there will soon be a whole slew of new veggies and fruits to play with in the kitchen. My kitchen also feels alive, because it is. My refrigerator is filled with fresh veggies and fruits. There is so much color, so much life, you can't get that from a box or bag of prepackaged food. I have learned more about my relationship to food. I have also learned to really listen to my body, and without anything artificial my body has learned to discern what it needs for fuel. All of this has made the journey into this diet change worthwhile.

What do a classical actor, an idiot "savant," and a princess all have in common? Well, they all star in David Hirson's hilarious play La Bête which gives us a behind the curtain look at an acting troupe in France in the year 1654. With rhythmic dialogue, a hilarious cast, and stunning technical elements, La Bête is one play that should not be missed!
La Bête tells the story of a weakening royal acting troupe in France led by master playwright and performer Elomire (played by David Hyde Pierce). Elomire, completely unaware of the troupe's recent down fall, is about to be thrown for a loop when The Princess (played by Joanna Lumley) orders Valere (played by Mark Rylance), a street performer, to join Elomire's troupe. The chaos flies as a true battle of the brain ensues, as the professional and the clown go head to head.
La Bête is brought to life on stage by a cast of ten brilliant performers. All work well with together, playing of each other's spot on comedic timing and high energy. The star and ultimate scene stealer of the show is Mark Rylance (of Broadway's Boeing–Boeing) and the idiot "savant" street performer. There are not enough words to describe Rylance's brilliantly hilarious extraordinary performance. An actor's worst fear, nine times out of ten, is having to memorize long monologues. To call the close to twenty minute uninterrupted monologue that Rylance delivers towards the beginning of the play "long" would be the understatement of the year. For most actors, the task of delivering this epic speech eight nights a week for months would be close to impossible; however, Rylance does it with ease and style. He had the entire audience on his side throughout the entire delivery and never had them bored once. There is no doubt that a Tony nomination will be coming his way this year. It was just an all around brilliant and comedic acting gem. Rylance is the main reason for people to run to the Music Box Theatre and go see La Bête. Working alongside Rylance are two other big stars. David Hyde Pierce (of television's Frasier and Broadway's Curtains) delivers a wobbly performance as the high class troupe leader that absolutely despises the presence of Valere. While Pierce has some great moments on stage, his overall performance fell slightly flat. When interacting with others on stage Pierce would come to life and deliver some great one liners and moments of thought; however, during the wonderful monologue delivered by Rylance, Pierce often appeared to lose focus and presence on the stage. This caused the audience to not want to support his character as much towards the end of the play, which is a slight flaw. The other big star is Joanna Lumley (of television's Sapphire & Steel and Absolutely Fabulous) who plays the theatre loving and spoiled Princess. Lumley gave a ravishing and hilarious performance. She was able to beautifully show both sides of typical royalty, the elegant and the childish. Lumley was even given a toy doll, dressed like herself, to use every time that she began to act childish. This was a really nice touch that brought her character to a higher level which, in return, made the audience fall in love with her. La Bête also has a wonderful supporting cast headed by Stephen Ouimette (of film's Heater and television's Slings and Arrows) and Greta Lee (of Broadway's … Spelling Bee). Ouimette played humped back actor Bejart, and was a marvel to watch on stage. His high energy and focus made the audience want to watch him even when he was not speaking. Lee played Dorine, the housemaid who will only say words that rhyme with the word "do." Being forced to reduce to pantomime to communicate, Lee did a beautiful job with her physical movements and was hilarious to watch. La Bête's cast was all around brilliant.
La Bête featured some brilliant work behind the scenes with a brilliant book, a stunning set, great lighting, a wonderful score, lavishing costumes, and simple – yet effective – special effects. The script for La Bête, written by David Hirson, was absolutely wonderful. Not written in standard English, La Bête has beautiful poetry and rhyme too it; however, it does have its moments where it breaks this theme and does something off the wall. These mini moments fit in well with the rest of the script and were and interesting touch to a beautifully written show. With scenic and costume design by Mark Thompson, La Bête really popped off of the pages of the script. The set was simple but beautiful. The floor to ceiling book cases (that opened at the top and close of the show to add a special kick to the show) were stunning to look at and really helped set the tone of the play; all around stunning. The costumes were elegant and really helped show the different personalities of the characters by having the joyful characters (The Princess and Valere) in bright colors while the rest of the cast was in simple black and white. This touch was enhanced even further with the stunning lighting design done by Hugh Vanstone. He chose to keep those same joyful characters and have them followed with consistent bright light. This creative touch really added that special something to the show. Working alongside the set, lighting, and costumes were really simple, yet effective, special effects. The highlight of this came during The Princess's entrance when what appeared to be a storm of gold glitter attacked the stage. This simple touch really set introduced the character perfectly and was a great addition to the show. La Bête was really aided by the work of Claire Van Kampen whose original score really brought France to life. Used throughout the play at different pivotal times, the score was used perfectly to really help advance the story. La Bête's technical crew did a wonderful job of bringing 1600s France to life.
La Bête is a must see show that is great for not only adults but college students as well. With tons of crude jokes and slapstick comedy, everyone is sure to love La Bête. Make sure to get to the Music Box Theatre on Broadway before La Bête ends its limited run on January 9, 2010. Run – do not walk – to go see La Bête!

Tea & SYMPATHY
It's a comfort having good friends, and visiting with them over a cup of tea adds a special sweetness to life. Add a lively chat about books, and well, you've got the makings of heaven on earth!
Nellie's Teas & Gifts has been hosting a book club for a couple of years, and part of the charm is their passion for tea, but also compassion for their neighbors. The Nellie's book club has been giving modestly but steadily every month to our Neighbors Helping Neighbors Fund. Sometimes we use the money to pay an overdue electric bill, sometimes their gift is used to help an elder pay for medications or get a little extra at the grocery store, other times we use it to pay for clothes or a new pair of boots. Once we used the funds to help a neighbor with an unexpected travel expense. Each month the amount varies, but that it comes in regularly is a big help to us. Like a good friend who checks in on you to see how you're doing... Nellie's keeps a friendly eye on us, sharing more than a little encouragement every time they do.

I recently ran across this adorable Penny Lane paper from My Minds Eye and I just could not wait to pair it up with this sweet and cheery little flower pot from Baskets of Happiness from Gina K Designs.
The petals are colored with Copic markers and I added a white gel pen dot to the center of each flower. My very favorite gel pen I've ever used is from Inksentials and its is amazing.
I reached for a tool that I hardly ever use on this one... my corner rounder. Its so funny when I first started I used that thing on all my creations, I was a rounded-corner-aholic, and I thought it would compliment the round circles on the patterned paper.
By tucking the top panel in behind the patterned paper layer, you get a nice clean even edge, and went with my whole "no right angles thing" that's going on here!
I'm such a tease, can I just say that I have my design team kit for Gina K for next week's launch already! (runs and hides..) Previews for this amazingly HUGE launch will begin on Monday and new sets will be previewed from Gina and various DT members each day till Thursday!!
Till then, be sure to hop in on all the challenges over on Stamp TV I know I've mentioned it before, but there is a prize given away every day Monday through Thursday! If you're uploading over there, be sure to add GKD as a tag on any Gina K creations, we're always on the hunt for amazing work, and you might just find yourself on our "Center Stage" for the month of May.
So much for a short post. OUCH says my arm.....

Aqua Retreat
Aqua Retreat
Splashes of red on canvas. The soothing blue of the ocean surrounding. Clinking glasses and relaxed conversation fill the air, punctuating the clear night. Moving the party outside, a dip of toes in the pool twinkling hypnotically with lights, mirroring the sky above. Dinner is served by candlelight, aromas tantalising on the breeze, fresh seafood grilled just to perfection. Each sensation to be savoured, a wish that time would stand still.
A one-of-a-kind palatial hideaway fanning out symmetrically over the emerald lagoon, the Aqua Retreat features two master bedrooms, each with its own entertainment system and minibar, ensuite bathroom perched above the water, and private outdoor lounging area. Entering the central living area, high-vaulted ceilings invite a cool breeze, leading out to a covered dining area on the deck comfortably accommodating a party of six. Take in the magic awakening of sunrise from the cantilevered infinity pool with Jacuzzi enclaves, a sweeping curved edge designed to maximize ocean panoramas.

Dinner at Aquagrill
Appetizers and dessert at Aquagrill outdoor terrace. Actually, it's one of my favorite restaurants for classic and fresh seafood dishes. There are also great refreshing summer time cocktails, not to miss.
Lobster Salad
was pretty amazing, pure to the ingredients. Very generous with their lobster, made me really happy. Great lobster is served on a bed of greens with light citruce dressing and sides of avocado and grapefruit. Delicious and light. Such a treat.
Love Aquagrill
Tuna Tartar
. Just like the lobster salad, this dish is light and flavorful at the same time. I love that you can taste and appreciate the simplicity of fresh tuna. Nothing fancy needed, just some crispy cucumber slices and horseradish on top. Just perfect.
To confess, big reasons why I love Aquagrill is the dessert. It's never disappointing, especially the
Chocolate Tasting
. Obviously there is a warm chocolate cake with melted chocolate on the inside. Chocolate ice cream is always a win. Save room for this treat.
Also yummy is
Blueberry Pie
. Lots of solid blueberries, no berry jam filling here. Crumbles on top soaked up vanilla ice cream as it melted on top of the hot pie. Delightful.

Six employees out of 10 UK fear they will not be up to the job mentally or physically if or when they have to work into old age to be able to fund their retirement.
A poll by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) and health insurer Aviva has found workers were concerned about being too tired to continue normal hours if they had to work into older age, while nearly two-thirds feared developing a serious illness that could affect their ability to do their job.
Yet, at the same time, most were not doing enough exercise (classed as "moderate to vigorous physical activity") to help reduce the risk of ill health as they got older.
More than two-thirds of those polled said that on average they were not getting the two-and-a-half hours of exercise a week that is the minimum recommended by the chief medical officer.
The poll comes as figures from the Office for National Statistics have shown the number of workers aged over 65 is topping one million for the first time.
Phil Gray, chief executive of the CSP, said: "We completely understand the fears people have about working longer. But if people are going to retire later, they need to develop and maintain the healthy habits now that will give them the best possible chance of staying well enough to work as they get older."
The results also suggested too few employers were doing enough to look after the wellbeing of their workforce and to prepare people for a longer career.
Among employed people, just 17% said their boss encouraged them to take proper breaks, such as lunch or even annual leave. And only 7% of those who worked said they were offered fast-track access to physiotherapy services.
In a separate development, a European Union project has been set up to examine the health ramifications of increasing the inclusion rates of older people in the labour market. The "e-capacit8" project is working "to strengthen the capacities of European OH and safety professionals so they are better equipped to support the process of workers ageing", and includes the Institute of Occupational Medicine among its members.
It is expected to run for the next three years.

This is very late because the Christmas season has come crashing down on me. It is 11 pm as a finish this.
It was many years ago that the editor of a major, Canadian newspaper told me that the Irving press was a disgrace to Canadian journalism. Over the years, I met many journalists who shared that opinion. But it has become much worse over the last several months. It looks as though it's being done to some plan.
The only real story in section A did, admittedly, make it to the first page – but it's at the bottom of the page, and brief. Twin River Paper Co. was fined 320,000 dollars for polluting the river waters near Edmunston. Some of it may have been sloppiness, but some, involving acids toxic to fish, was 'wilful'.
That's it for news.
A4 has yet another story that tells us nothing about the firing of Dr. Cleary. If the editors and reporters would get off their rear ends, and ask questions – there's an obvious one. The government said she did not meet its requirements for the job. Okay. Obvious question that doesn't offend any law---what are the requirements for the job? Surely, it's not against the law to tell us that.
As well, it wouldn't require a genius to do some checking on Roundup weed killer, the stuff that's being sprayed all over this province. It contains glysophate which is toxic and probably cancerous. At least, that's what the World Health Organization says. But what do they know?
Another local matter a reporter might look at is what plans does city council have to deal with climate change? I know, of course, that the climate isn't changing. But all the governments in the world agree that it is. And so do virtually all the scientists in the world.
So far, city council has babbled about improving public transport to cut down on the use of cars. Forget it. Moncton has not, in its whole history been able to improve public transport. That's because this city is designed for cars. It's way too spread out to make public transport workable. And if we were to use public transport in this age of climate change, it surely should not be diesel busses.
The editorial is so obviously kissing the rear ends of the rich that it's embarassing, and should be hidden from children. The Coalition of New Brunswick Employers are opposed to any increase in our already low taxes on them. And when they speak, says the editor with puckered lips, "...people listen." And there's more. There's an editorial attack on 'big government' – which means any government that leaves the people hanging while it gives favours to the rich. Yes, greater freedom to let big business loose to rip us off is what we need.
Norbert puckers up on the same theme. He adds, "Never mind the self-interested or entitled among us."
That means most of us loafers, of course, because a boot-licker like Norbert would never dare mention the real self-interested and entitled among us.
Brent Mazerolle has nothing much to say, really. But at least his column this is a real commentary.
Then there's yet another guest column by a far, right-wing think tank that serves the real privileged and entitled people of this province. This one suggest that 'greens' are marxists – which only tells me the writer doesn't know what a marxist is. And his main point is that capitalism is the best way to control the environment. Significantly, he doesn't give a single example of where capitalism has done this. Think of all the environmental leadership we've been getting from the oil industry. And, boy, JDIrvingLtd have been real leaders in saving our environment by spraying us.
Jo-Anne Moore has good column. This, and the polluting paper company on the first page are all that is worth reading in Section A.
Section B, Canada&World, has nothing at all worth reading. Outside Canada, there is a nothing story about Obama. Europe gets a nod with a nothing story about how the EU will fight an 'uncompromising' war against ISIS. Ever heard of leader who said he would fight a compromising war? And there is not hint of the magnitude of the refugee crisis in Europe and the middle east – and what that will mean to the world. A whole page is devoted to really, really bad poetry by MLAs. Another whole page (out of only six) of the usual people holding up 'charity' cheques. Three of them are screaming ads for 'Parlour Pawn'.
It is not possible for a newspaper to be so bad accidentally – or even by stupidity. This one, especially lately, must be deliberately designed to keep us in a stupor.
But, oh, I never, ever thought I would say this. The Faith Page on A6 has a sermonette that is good. It takes Christian principle into the real world – which is what, I think, Jesus had in mind. As well, First United Baptist Church is putting its money where its mouth is. It is sponsoring a refugee family from The Congo – a real hell-hole created by western capitalism.
This is what a faith page should be. And this is what a faith should be.
In a similar story, Protestant and Catholic churches have worked out an arrangement to help refugees land in Italy, a safer trip than the voyage to Greece.
There was a great deal in world news that the Irving press could and should have reported. The U.S., for example, has lately been , to put it mildly, provocative in flying its bombers routinely over waters in the South China Sea claimed by China. And it is no coincidence that Japan is now moving major units of its fleet into the general region. Britain is readying to send 'boots' on the ground to fight ISIS in Libya. I should have thought these things worth reporting.
There have been strenuous efforts to involve the European Union in the middle east wars and in Libya. Britain and France are enthusiastic because they have to be. They are wilted empires that now have to ride on U.S. coattails. Germany has joined them; but the rest of the EU has been silent. And Italy has refused outright. This should raise a number of questions.
1. Why does the U.S. need so many large and powerful countries to defeat ISIS? Does the U.S. really need them against ISIS? Or does it need them against Russia?
2. If the U.S. thinks ISIS is so terrible and has to be destroyed, why did it allow ISIS for so long to transport its oil to market through Turkey? Answer – the U.S. didn't want to destroy ISIS, not until it had destroyed Syria. Putin destroyed that plan.
3. If the U.S. wanted to get rid of Assad, why didn't it help the Syrian 'rebels' to do it? Answer – they did help the Syrian 'rebels', directly and through Saudi Arabia. But the 'rebels' never gained much support among Syrians. In fact, a high proportion of them were not Syrians, but hired mercenaries. And, since the Russians came on the scene, the 'rebels' have made themselves very scarce. As well, it's not at all clear that the rebels are 'moderates' as our press routinely says. It's quite possible that many, perhaps most, of them are closer to ISIS in their thinking.
4. Have the U.S. and Russia come to an agreement on Syrian elections after the defeat of ISIS? Most of our news media say they have. But they haven't. They've agreed there should be elections. But Russia wants Assad to be eligible to run. The U.S. doesn't. The U.S. did not start this war to bring democracy to Syria. It started the war to get Assad out of the way so that US oil companies could control Syrian oil. Russia did not join the war to bring democracy. It has exactly the same objectives as U.S. oil companies – except they need Assad in power to do that.
Generally, the U.S. has opposed democracy wherever it raises its ugly head. That what it has done in Latin America, in Egypt. That's what it's doing with Erdogan in Turkey.
Another event that really isn't producing much useful reporting is the contests for leadership of the Democrat and Republican parties. We hear all the idiocies and insults on the Republican side, and most of what we hear is about the war against terrorism.
But the U.S. is a country with social problems that could (and probably will) tear it apart. And this is a race being fought out on pure fear and hysteria. What would those candidates do about racism? About the startling rise of poverty? About the decay of the education system? About a wage gap that is the biggest in the developed world? About the rich who are getting much richer while everybody else is getting poorer? About a national debt that is so far out of control that it can never be paid. The U.S. may well have to go to war with China simply to get out of paying its debt to that country. What would they do about an arms industry that is out of control in both civilian and military sales, an industry that needs and wants as many wars as it can create?
They're going to get tough on ISIS? ISIS is the least of their problems. American police kill more Americans in a year, far, far more than ISIS does. Armed American civilians kill so many Americans that they make ISIS look like amateurs.
I have never heard of people running for a leadership on such a narrow platform. It's ISIS, ISIS, ISIS, and Americans are buying it. They are getting no sense whatever of the terror and slaughter and horror and misery that the U.S. is inflicting on the world. They have no sense of how much the world has come to hate and distrust the U.S., and the unlimited greed of its wealthy. They have some, but little, sense of how democracy and rights have vanished in the U.S. The country is now ruled by big money. Nothing else. And they can vote for Trump or Bush or Clinton. It makes no difference.
It's a country that is either ignorant of or indifferent to the illegal acts of illegal wars carried out in over a hundred countries by drones, by the highly trained murderers who are called special ops, and who kill friend or foe, soldiers or civilians or babies with equal dedication. Again, the scale of U.S. killing leaves that of ISIS in the dust.
Americans have been doused in fear and hatred of a movement that was created in the first place by the unlimited greed and brutality of the very wealthy – the same very wealthy who already own all of the candidates but one.
That one is Bernie Sanders who is running against Clinton for the Democrat leadership. He has given some thought to social policy. He has a humane and moral view of this world. But he isn't going to win the leadership.
He won't win because the war industries and the oil industry aren't going to give him campaign money. And he's not going to get help from the Democrat hierarchy, because they, like Clinton, have long ago been bought off.
A long, long time ago when I was just learning to swim, I nearly drowned. To this day, I remember the feeling of panic vividly. I very much fear that is what we are watching in the United States. It is a drowning nation. And the panic is being manipulated by those very wealthy who own the news media and the politicians, and whose greed has destroyed whatever shreds of morality they might once have possessed and whatever judgement they once possessed

Safety is a primary concern of almost everyone who gets behind the wheel, and it should be. The features your car offers in terms of safety and reliability are what keep you secure as you travel to work, get the kids to school and recitals, and take you on pleasure trips anywhere you want to go. It's only smart to demand the very best safety features and technology in every new car you buy.
BMW is known for providing cars that are luxurious, comfortable, and safe. They provide outstanding technology and fantastic reliability. The 5 Series, one of their flagship model lines, has recently been hailed as one of the safest vehicles on the road. Let's examine a breakdown of the BMW 5 Series safety rating, features and technology, and learn where you can go to test drive one for yourself today!
BMW 5 Series Safety
The ratings for the 2018 model isn't out yet, but it stands to reason that it's going to be an improvement on prior years - that's the point - and the 2017 model of BMW 5 Series sedan received a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is hands-down the highest accolade a vehicle can receive from this organization.
Getting a Top Safety Pick+ rating requires that a vehicle pass a battery of tests unlike any other. These tests are designed to put a car through a vast series of trials to check every last aspect of the car's safety, from whether it can withstand a frontal collision to how easy its child seat anchors are to use, to whether you'll survive a rollover, to the functioning of the airbags.
Passing the Tests
The IIHS has five major tests to examine the crash-worthiness of a vehicle. These are the small overlap and moderate overlap front tests, side crash tests, the roof strength test and the seat and head restraint test. The top score in each of these tests is Good, and the 5 Series scored this rating on every single one of these tests.
In addition, for the first time the IIHS has begun to test headlights for visibility in high and low beam settings, and when the optional LED projectors added from the Premium and Lightning Packages, the headlights get a Good rating as well.
In terms of child anchors, the 5- series got the second best score, the organization citing that they were easy to find and attached and provided very strong anchor points.
Top Safety Picks
There are a number of BMW vehicles on the Top Safety Pick lists, including the 5 series, the Mini Cooper, the 2 Series, the 3 Series and the X1. If you happen to be in the Manhattan, Queens or Bronx areas, you can check out these Top Safety Picks for yourself at BMW of Manhattan. Stop into our showroom, check out our inventory, and talk to our sales staff about getting behind the wheel to take a test drive of your next BMW car or sport activity vehicle today!

A Shrimp Appetizer To Warm Your Soul
Shrimp Appetizer That Will Heat Up Your Kitchen Traffic
Shrimp is one of those foods that can be used in a variety of occasions. I happen to like shrimp as an appetizer, although main courses often provide great meals as well.
Typically, many of the appetizers I have tried that involve shrimp are fantastic. This recipe is one of those that will create foot traffic to your kitchen as they smell the dish and see what it has to offer. This dish uses a product called Sambal Oelek and can be found in the Chinese section of your local grocery store. This is the ingredient that will provide the heat, spice to the dish.
1 lb of Shrimp, deveined and shelled
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 T Unsalted butter
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice Squeezed Fresh
1 teaspoon Sambal Oelek
Cilantro, around 2 Tablespoons (use enough to cover dish)
1. Heat sauce pan on medium heat, add butter. Add minced garlic and cook around 1-2 minutes. Garlic will burn rather quickly in butter so don't overdo it! Garlic can be sliced, chopped and minced. I usually use a garlic press like the one pictured to mince garlic.
2. Add lemon, Worcestershire and Sambal Oelek to sauce pan. Cook around another minute or so. Stir mixture until boiling in pan. You should now smell an incredible aroma as this dish is cooking.
3. Add shrimp and stir occasionally until cooked (around 3-5 minutes). The shrimp will turn a light pink color when done. Try not to overcook shrimp as it will turn rubbery.
Plate and add fresh chopped Cilantro and serve. I usually serve with a nice baguette. Slice baguette and sop remaining sauce into bread. You will love the sauce once all the shrimp has disappeared!
Great Food, Great Memories GFGM

text: JaZ Posted March 4, 2002 They say you learn by your mistakes. Well I have once again, in the worst way. While changing my drive sprocket for a weekend ride, I noted that my chain joiner had been worn, and when rejoining it did not feel to clip in strongly I was going to replace it right there and then, but didnt, wrong move! Went out for a quick test ride to check top speed (trip computer had 159km/h)and wheelie practice up my favorite hill some 800 metres long. All going strong, when BANG lost the chain, and with it, a chunk of my lefthand casing. (see pics) I need to know if this is repairable without replacing the cases, as I had an estimate today of $2000.00AUS this would mean no riding for some time, and that is unthinkable Any suggestions???

With the Festive season nearly upon us and parties and celebrations around the corner, the drinks are likely to be flowing fast. For some sadly, faster than others. For a person addicted to alcohol, it's not always easy to realise that you have already crossed the line from moderate to problem drinking. Likewise, if you're one of those who have been consuming alcohol as a way to cope with problems or avoid feeling bad, then there's a huge possibility that you're already in a dangerous territory.
Alcohol addiction can easily sneak up to those who are already vulnerable. Therefore, it's important to familiarise yourself with the early signs and symptoms of consuming harmful levels of alcohol. In this post I'm going to look into these very signs and symptoms and hopefully it may help you or a loved one.
- You have to drink more than what you want to get the buzz you're craving for
For people, consuming a bottle of alcohol is already enough to feel drunk; however, for those who are already addicted to alcohol, this is not enough. They have to drink several bottles just to feel its effect. This is one of the most common early warning signs of alcohol addiction. You'll start to develop tolerance over time, and by that, you'd need several bottles of alcohol just to enjoy its effects.
- Drinking to steady the shakes in the morning
If you find yourself drinking early in the morning just to calm down your nerves or you drink to avoid or alleviate the withdrawal symptoms, this is an obvious indication of alcoholism. Basically, once you become a heavy drinker, the body starts to get used to alcohol, and once it's taken away, you'll start to feel the withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sweating, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, headache, and many more.
In severe cases, withdrawal from alcohol could also involve confusion, hallucination, fever, agitation, and seizure. These symptoms are very serious. In situations like this, a trusted alcohol rehab in Chiang Mai like the Addiction Rehab Center can be of great help.
- Losing control over drinking
If you often drink more alcohol than what you originally planned – even though you've already told yourself that you won't – that means you have already lost your self-control. Likewise, if you have been thinking of cutting down your alcohol consumption, but you really can't, then you could well be very addicted to alcohol and should be seeking professional help.
- You have neglected other activities
Are you spending less time on activities that you used to look forward to, such as bonding with family and friends, going to the gym, or doing what you love?
In fact, you'd rather spend time drinking or recovering from its side effects that your peers and family have noticed that you're already suffering from alcoholism. Not just that, you find yourself making excuses as to why you should be wasting your money on alcohol instead of using it on important things.
Final Words
Alcohol addiction is the worst form of alcohol abuse as you become physically dependent on alcohol. Those who are addicted would continue to drink even when they already know the consequences involved with drinking. If you or someone you know is suffering from this, please don't waste your time. Seek help as early as possible from an addiction treatment center.

weekend wear
We've gotten so used to catching up on sleep over the weekend and running errands, we forgot what it's like to dress up for a night out on the town. Well no more! Sitting down to a fabulous italian dinner complete with the perfect cabernet and delicious tiramisu, we decided to feel a little more ladyike- donning pearls, a Furla structured satchel and Miu Miu patent pumps . Sometimes the perfect dose of "nice" is a little leopard pop and a nice coat of Essie Ballet slippers.

Spotted: Kate Sheehan
Major: Advertising
LA Hearts sweater
T.J. Maxx leggings
Hunter boots
Though the weather in Syracuse is incredibly cold these days, junior Kate Sheehan doesn't wear colorless, boring outfits. She faces the cold in basic winter pieces and her favorite sweater.
"I have had it for five years," Sheehan said. "I love it not only because of its color, but also its comfort."
Hunter Boots and basic leggings are must-have pieces for snowy and rainy days, and they match everything. If you don't know what to wear, hunter boots and leggings are never a bad choice.
"It's basic, simple, colorful, but comfortable," Sheehan said. "…Why not wear some colorful pieces to light up your winter?"

Men who gained weight the fastest between the ages of 25 and 40 were more than twice as likely to have recurrence of prostate cancer after surgery as those who didn't gain weight, researchers here reported.
In addition, obesity at age 40 was also associated with increased risk of biochemical failure after surgery, according to a study by Sara S. Strom, Ph.D., and colleagues at the MD Anderson Cancer Center here.
The study, published in the Oct. 1 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, is the first to examine the association between body-mass index at different ages and the rate of adult weight gain on biochemical failure among a uniform group of prostatectomy patients followed prospectively, Dr. Strom and colleagues said.
The researchers assessed 526 men who underwent surgery for prostate cancer at MD Anderson from 1992 to 2001, obtaining self-reports of weight at age 25, 40, and time of diagnosis. The average age at diagnosis was 60, and follow-up lasted an average of 54 months. During those months, biochemical failure occurred in 18% of patients. Key findings include:
- Compared with men who gained little or no weight each year from age 25 to 40, those who gained 1.5 kg or more per year were 2.32 times more likely to suffer disease recurrence (95% confidence interval=1.06-5.08; P=.005).
- Compared with those of normal weight at age 40, those who were obese at 40 were 2.35 times more likely to experience disease recurrence (95% CI=1.43-3.86; P=.001).
- Those obese at time of diagnosis tended toward an increased risk for biochemical failure, although this trend did not reach statistical significance (hazard ratio=1.41; 95% CI=0.91-2.18; P=.07).
"These findings support the hypothesis that increased obesity is an important independent prognostic variable for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer," the researchers said.
Previous research suggests that obesity may influence prostate cancer by altering hormone levels or increasing levels of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I in the body, the study noted.
In addition, the current study supports "the view that the development of aggressive forms of prostate cancer, in addition to prostate cancer in general, may be influenced by environmental effects that occur early in life," the authors concluded.

Jezri Mohideen, a former trader, only filed the claim against the bank last week. But his lawyer Antony Brown, managing partner at Bivonas, confirmed to City A.M. that his client has settled out of court in a confidential agreement with RBS.
"The parties have settled Dr Mohideen's claim on terms which are confidential between them and no further comment will be made," said Sarah Small, spokesperson at RBS.
Mohideen, who joined the bank in 2006, had been in charge of yen products, before being promoted to head of rates trading for Europe and Asia-Pacific in 2010.
RBS suspended and later fired Mohideen in the fallout over the Libor scandal. He has denied that he had pushed colleagues to submit false ratings, and he has not been charged by any of the main prosecuting authorities investigating Libor.

Service Charge Cases
In 2007, Hadsell Stormer & Renick, LLP brought lawsuits against five hotels located adjacent to the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in order to force the hotels to pay its employees Service Charges collected from customers for services provide by the employees. The class-action lawsuits stemmed from the hotels' violations of the City of Los Angeles Service Charge Ordinance intended to improve the working conditions of employees working at LAX hotels. The Ordinance focused on the problem of hotel's adding "service charges" of 15 to 22% to customer bills, particularly for room service and banquets and failing to tell customers that none of the charge was going to the employees who provided the service. The charges appeared on the bill much like mandatory gratuities for large restaurant parties and patrons were not informed of the charge's purpose. As a result, customers unsurprisingly misidentified the "service charge" as a gratuity and hotel workers responsible for the services experienced significant reductions in income. The Ordinance addressed the problem by requiring hotels to pass the service charges on to the workers who performed the service, or else clearly and unambiguously advise customers that the charge was not being paid to the employees.
Some of the Century Boulevard hotels sought to skirt the Ordinance by relabeling the charge as a "facilities charge." But because the charge was included at the bottom of the check, ranged from 15-22%, and appeared to be a mandatory gratuity, customers continued to believe the charge was being passed on to the employees. In court, the hotels challenged the Ordinance, claiming that the City of Los Angeles lacked the authority to regulate this issue. The trial court accepted their argument and dismissed the lawsuits. On review, the court of appeal disagreed and upheld the validity and enforceability of the ordinance. As a result of the ruling, hundreds of employees at the five hotels were able to proceed with their lawsuits to collect all service charges imposed on customers by the hotels since 2007.
After years more of litigation, each of the five lawsuits ultimately settled. The employees at Marriott LAX Hotel, Renaissance LAX Hotel, Four Points Sheraton LAX Hotel, Radisson LAX Hotel, and Hilton LAX Hotel were able to reach agreements with each hotel. The settlements totaled over $9 million and represent an enormous victory for Los Angeles service workers. The settlement amount for the class actions against Marriott LAX and Renaissance Montura Hotel Los Angeles (January 1, 2007 through May 15, 2012) totaled $4.5 million; the settlement with Four Points Sheraton LAX (January 1, 2007 through April 8, 2008) was $390,000; the settlement with Radisson LAX Hotel (January 1, 2007 through November 15, 2007) was $200,000; and the settlement with Hilton Los Angeles Airport (January 1, 2007 through December 3, 2014) was $4 million. All of the settlements were approved by the court and class members who submitted claims have been paid.

Recently a Chennai couple looking to start their family has placed an online advertisement looking for sperm donors for artificial insemination but with specific conditions. Before I go into the advertisement placed by them I would like to touch upon a little background on the artificial insemination process. Every parent would aspire that their child should be intelligent and good looking but then nature and genetics take precedence in this process. If a couple is not able to conceive naturally for any reason then artificial insemination is the process is undertaken if the couple wishes to have a child. Mankind has been fascinated by the process of pregnancy and has experimented extensively to perfect the insemination process so as to bring a bundle of joy to the childless couples.
But then there have been experiments by few doctors in this field to conceive a super human being by using sperms or eggs of the intelligent, brave, handsome and beautiful people living during those eras. It is well documented that Dr Karl Clauberg and his assistant Johannas Golbel of Germany, during the Second World War were conducting many experiments of artificial insemination on the imprisoned Jewish woman so as to perfect the process so that a untainted Aryan race could be born. This reminds me of the old joke involving the chat between George Bernard Shaw and Marilyn Monroe, wherein Marilyn tells that a child between two of them would have her beauty and GBS's brains and his response was "what if the child has my beauty and your brains". There is no recorded evidence of the child being born by artificial insemination being progeny even though the donor had been endowed with very high IQ. It clearly proves that even if you tweak the process, the nature and genetics would take its course and decide the final characteristic of the child that is born.
Coming back to the recent online advert, the conditions imposed by the couple were that "the donor should be an IIT student, healthy, no bad habits, tall and fair if possible" and the compensation offered is Rs 20,000.00 which is a lively sum for students in college. This advertisement has given rise to lots of resentment among the students of IIT Chennai and also the general public who has come across this bit of news because of the conditions imposed. Some of the comments were "This is insane. How can sperm from an IITian make any difference? Intelligence cannot be measured. You can only identify intelligence in a person, but one cannot measure intelligence by the institution he comes from," said a second year student" & "This advertisement is ridiculous. I think IIT brand name is taken out of context here. May be genetics do play some role, but hard work makes a man intelligent. If they were right, Albert Einstein's relatives should be the brightest of all in the world. Excellence is mostly hard work," another student said.
It is quite surprising that an educated couple is bench marking only students in IIT to be intelligent, tall, and fair, for I personally know few IITians who have struggled to complete the course even though they fared well in the entrance exams. Few Childless couples wanting to have babies through artificial insemination think that they can determine the characteristics of their baby by deciding the donor….similar to ordering the toppings while order the pizza from Pizza hut or Dominos, but then they have to understand that nature and genetics has a major role in this matter otherwise I am sure each child in the society may have been a Newton, Einstein, John McEnroe or a Mohammad Ali
Your take on this bit of news please!!!!

My wife thinks I am an elitist
Krista was reading my blog and she read the post about being a closet intellectual and she turned to me and said, "You're an elitist." What? Me? First, she says, one shouldn't admit that they are closet intellectuals. Just stay in the closet, my friends! Second, she found my little Latin pun a little smug and insufferable. Well, I only have one thing to say to all that: it's a good thing I am so far above everyone else so that doesn't hurt my feelings. Ha ha ha!

Solid families are the core of American success: Without solid family members, America's strong values will certainly not withstand, and the American Desire will certainly disappear. God arranges us right into households so that we could grow up in happiness and security, and so that we can learn how to enjoy others selflessly– the trick to real happiness. Within the household is the best area to discover how to like others the means Heavenly Father likes each one of us. We believe the greatest true blessing He offers us is the capacity to go back to live with Him in heaven with our families. Joy within our household will probably be achieved when it was starts on the trainings of Jesus.
Possibly we are among the lucky ones that was raised in a happy and also safe household with 2 caring parents. Living peacefully in a family members isn't really always very easy, yet in God's restored Church, marriage and family members are the most vital social unit now as well as in infinity. When I broke a window and my moms and dads forgave me rather than yelling at me. When the automobile glided off the road throughout a snowstorm and also our household needed to stroll a number of miles for help.
My family suffered via my secondary school musical despite the fact that I was simply a stagehand. We desire to make things various now if our household really did not have many of those happy moments when we were young. A moms and dad, a partner, a sibling– also kids have a whole lot to do. The effort we took into enhancing our family members is the hardest as well as most significant job any of us will certainly do in the world. Parenting UK, part of Domesticity is a nationwide membership organisation for specialists collaborating with parents. Team picture of a Norwegian household by Gustav Borgen ca. 1900: Dad, mom, three sons and also two daughters.
God suggested for us to be examined so we could expand and grasp abilities we would not discover any other way– skills like perseverance and also unselfishness that will certainly aid us come to be more like God and also prepare us to live with our households throughout endless time. Patrilineality, also referred to as the male line or agnatic kinship, is a form of kinship system where a person's family members membership originates from and is mapped via his or her daddy's lineage 34 It generally includes the inheritance of home, legal rights, names, or titles by persons associated via male kin.

Bride-to-be rate, (likewise bridewealth or new bride token), is building paid by the bridegroom or his family to the parents of a female upon the marriage of their little girl to the groom. The policy change has actually been especially substantial in nations that had actually recently emphasised much more conventional approaches to family members plans, such as Germany, Ireland, Japan, as well as Norway.
