Indirectly, my brother influenced my transition into teaching. Unbeknownst to me, stirring deep inside, the desire to help the downtrodden, as a teacher, started to take form with my brother's passing. It took fifteen plus years before I could name it. And since that day in March 2009 when I was forced to put my life and career in perspective, it is all that I seek professionally and morally.
At the same time, as many have read in my posts, I struggle to harmonize my intense want to help underserved students overcome their self-doubts and improve in their mathematical proficiency with the incessant top-down focus on "closing the achievement gap" as the sole purpose for teaching.
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) gave the force of federal law to the belief that all students must be proficient in mathematics to amount to anything worthwhile. NCLB-driven efforts, and its progeny, have caused more harm than good to students' self-esteem, creativity, and futures. While this may seem counterintuitive, life is much more complex than any legislative act or policy mandate.
As such, and to be true to my calling, I must emphasize helping students believe in themselves while providing opportunities for them to improve from where they are now over what the well-intentioned, but misguided "measurement driven" reformers believe. Improvement should come in whatever amount is possible for a given student at a pace that works for them. Students must be prepared for a lifetime of learning and not manipulated via myopic methods marginally linked to improving student achievement.

Wow, I am really confused about what's going on in this pile-up of emoticons. Only one-third of them seem to be enjoying it. Five of them look genuinely uncomfortable, and one is apparently trying to find his calm place. Whatever's going on in this party, it probably needs to stop. But enough about the bizarre and possibly illegal emoticon orgy. Let's talk about the heart of this meme: people who deny their responsibility to not be jerks.
I've seen several variations of this meme during my travels through this vast Internet. Though the wording varies, the message is always the same: it's your issue if you're offended by something I've said, written, or done. In other words: I'm blameless. In other other words: I'm too self-centered to care about anybody's emotional well-being besides my own.
I wish that people who post memes like this, or who express agreement with the sentiments therein, would recite a simple daily affirmation:
I accept that some people are going to be offended by the things I do. I may not agree with the reason they are offended, but I will respect their right to be offended without trying to make it all about them. I will apologize even if I don't really understand why, because I know that social cohesion is based on people playing nice even when they don't feel like it. Also, I understand that my refusal to apologize for having unintentionally offended someone constitutes obnoxiousness in the first degree – that is, pre-meditated obnoxiousness. I accept and understand that the penalty for first-degree obnoxiousness is loss of esteem among my peers and a growing consensus that I'm sort of a jerk.
Surely everybody would be better off.
By the way…if anything in this post offended you, feel free to leave me a scathing comment. I won't refer to you as "butt-hurt" or anything like that, and I might even apologize! I'm just cool like that.

Arsene Wenger still very impressed by Luis Suarez. Author of 17 goals in the Premier League since the start of the season.
Arsene Wenger said in a interview: " I think every defender in England hates playing against him. He has a strong personality. When he finds himself on a field, he is a demon. We all dream to have players like that." In the coming months, especially at the end of the year, Arsenal will return there to charge for front-centre of the Reds?

Melbourne City's elimination final with Adelaide United is not just a chance to extend their A-League season.
It's also a referendum on the future of coach Warren Joyce.
The English manager is at the end of a bitterly divisive two-year contract to lead the expansion side.
City executives are giving little away as to whether the former Manchester United assistant will be offered a new deal.
And Joyce himself hasn't said whether he'd like to extend his tenure in Melbourne, saying only he "ain't a quitter" in February when asked if he'd walk away from the role during a downturn in form.
After three semi-final appearances in four seasons, the best-resourced club in the league would surely see a failure to reach the last four as regression.
"I think for players it's pretty straightforward," captain Scott Jamieson said. "If we win the title then you don't really sack a manager that wins the title do you?"
In Joyce's two seasons, City have finished third and fifth.
Last year, the Daniel Arzani-inspired team were on the verge of a maiden grand final, falling victim to Riley McGree's wonder-goal in their semi-final loss to Newcastle.
The goals have dried up this campaign, with only a final-round 5-0 smashing of Central Coast Mariners preventing their worst season since the City takeover in 2014.
That's in part due to the protracted and acrimonious departure of fan favourite Bruno Fornaroli after the Uruguayan was deemed to have fallen short of off-field standards.
Fornaroli followed a well-worn path to the exit door under Joyce, already walked by legendary Socceroo Tim Cahill, player of the year Neil Kilkenny and Fernando Brandan.
That turnover led fans to protest his Joyce's leadership.
The club's fan group disbanded and crowds plummeted this campaign despite a 12-game unbeaten streak at home.
Given the underperformance and tumult, what's the case for Joyce to stay?
City's owners are pleased with the cultural change under Joyce, which places a premium on hard work and professionalism.
They've also been delighted by improvement in young players, led by Arzani, with future transfer deals similar to Aaron Mooy's mega-money move likely to keep them in the black.
Jamieson said the bottom line had to be success.
"I want us to win games," he said. "If we win the title then he probably stays but if he doesn't he probably might stay too.
"It's never really gotten to the players in a sense of us worrying about it. Managers come and go. Players will come and go. That's just the nature of the business.
"For me to go on the record and saying I want this about staff or coaches or players even is above my pay grade.
"There's no denying that we enjoy working with the manager but we don't make those decisions."


text: wanted_desi 3,001 Report post Posted April 5, 2019 I don't really understand KKR thinking tank. They were very aggressive when bidding on Unknown Shubman, who has proven his worth in India A etc for number of years now. He is already being lined up to get into Indian Cricket team. SO, you would think that he would be developed by KKR, someone who can play at #3 role for years. But, you are giving that #3 slot to someone like Uthappa, who barely can cross SR of 120 and already on the way downhill. Shaw, Pant, Iyer, Mayank: All of them are getting a good exposure in that top order. I do feel that any other team, SHubman would be batting in that top order, given his reputation and skills. Hopefully, he gets into other team in near future, where he can get that top order slot. 3 express bowling, Under_Score and Mosher reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My "On the Kitchen Table" videos are mainly aimed at newcomers to multirotors, quadcopters, drones and UAVs, particularly to the DJI product range, and the Phantom line in particular. I have how to's, product reviews, tips, tricks, hints and information for beginners and those in the early stages of the hobby. I film "on the kitchen table" to show people that, like me, you don't need a workshop and an array of specialist equipment and years of experience to get started and progress with flying these amazing aircraft and enjoying making great aerial videos and stills. So if you have bought, or are thinking of buying, the DJI Phantom 4 or DJI Phantom 3, Inspire 1, Yuneec Typhoon H, or even building your own DJI Flamewheel F450 or F550, or considering the Lily, 3DR Solo, or more then you can do it… on the kitchen table!

HONG KONG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DTZ/Cushman & Wakefield, a global leader in commercial real estate services, revealed that the overall office rent in Hong Kong had risen by a modest 1.9% during 2016, but Greater Central rents had seen a strong increase of 8.4% year-on-year, reflecting the keen demand of Mainland Chinese companies for business space in the CBD, whilst non-core districts were under pressure due to ample supply. Amid a long-running bearish retail market since 2014, retail rentals began to stabilize towards the end of 2016, with a decline of less than 1% in rents for some core districts. Thanks to solid sales of daily goods, retail rents in secondary districts, such as Yuen Long and Tuen Mun, displayed a different trend from that of the prime districts. The divergence in sales and rental development between the core and non-core districts looks set to continue in 2017.
The growth in office rents in Greater Central was the most robust in Q1, but slowed in consecutive quarters, reaching HK$120.09 per sq ft effective per month in Q4, which was up 1.1% from Q3. Prime Central rents rose by 1.4% from Q3 to HK$134.21 per sq ft per month in Q4. The lowest rent was recorded in Hong Kong South, at HK$29.36 per sq ft per month in Q4. However, the district saw the biggest annual increase at 9.3%, surpassing the increase in Greater Central. The biggest annual decline in rents was recorded in Kowloon Others at a drop of 3.2% year-on-year to HK$33.96 per sq ft per month in Q4 of 2016.
Mr John Siu, DTZ/Cushman & Wakefield's Managing Director, Hong Kong, commented, "The keen demand by PRC companies has been key to the continuous rise in rentals in Greater Central throughout 2016, whereas the non-core districts, such as Kowloon East and Kowloon Others, were challenged by unfilled stock. The exception is Hong Kong South. Boosted by the improved accessibility brought by the newly launched MTR South Island Line, the availability in Hong Kong South dropped by 4.8 percentage points to 14%, and the rents of the district have been steadily increasing as more and more companies move in."
The overall availability rate rose to 7.2% in Q4, the highest level in 2016. This was after an overall negative absorption for Q2 and Q3 2016 before returning to a positive net absorption in Q4. Despite a negative absorption in Greater Central during every quarter of 2016, with total released stock of more than 185,000 sq ft, it made little impact on the rental growth. Mr Andy Yuen, DTZ/ Cushman & Wakefield's Senior Director, Office Services – Agency in Hong Kong, said, " This is a testimony to the underlying force of PRC companies as the major tenants in Greater Central and their determination to secure prime business space with high rents. Along with the banking and finance sector in Greater Central, insurance companies have been the main drivers of new lease demand last year, but the companies have preferred non-core districts, as their consolidation or expansion initiatives often required larger floor plates that were hard to find in core locations."
Mr Siu added, "Thus, in 2017, we believe that the pattern remains of PRC financial companies' continuing focus on Greater Central when seeking office space, whilst the cost-conscious MNCs, as well as those looking to expand or consolidate, will tend to decentralize. Currently, we see no signs of slowing down regarding the pace of leases by PRC companies in Greater Central, which will underpin an expected rental growth of 3 to 6% of the district in 2017. Moreover, with substantial new supply this year of up to 2.9 million sq ft, about 60% of which to be located in Kowloon East, given attractive rental terms, we would expect increased leasing activity in Kowloon East."
For the retail market, the visitor volume in 2016* was down 5.1% year-on-year, but the speed of decline slowed during the last few months. Without the impressive spending by tourists on luxury goods, sales of jewelry and watches in 2016* fell by more than 40% from the peak level in 2013. During the past three years, among the major types of goods, only the daily goods (medicine, cosmetics, food, tobacco and alcohol sectors) have recorded growth, while the luxury sector has suffered. These had a major impact on the retail mix of prime locations and the rental trends.
* Based on published figures from January to November 2016 and estimated figures for December 2016
Without the support of the expansion of the luxury sector, high street rents fell on a quarterly basis since mid-2014, but the falling slowed in 2016. Throughout the last year, the drop in high street shop rents in the prime areas continued to narrow from 5 to 7% in Q1 to 0.5 to 1.5% in Q4. Mr Kevin Lam, DTZ/Cushman & Wakefield's Executive Director, Head of Business Space – Retail & Office, Hong Kong, said, "After a prolonged rationalization of high street rents over the past two years and the resulting change in the trade mix on the high streets, core district rents are close to bottoming out at the end of 2016."
Due to the changed patterns in retail consumption, both retailers and investors are eyeing sales and shop fronts in non-core areas, such as Tuen Mun and Yuen Long, where steady sales of daily goods have supported a growing rental trend in recent years. As of Q4 in 2016, retail rents in Tuen Mun and Yuen Long had grown by 44.1% and 9.2% from the peak in 2013, in contrast to the rental decline of 40 to 55% recorded in prime districts over the same period.
Meanwhile, the slowing pace of rental decline was followed by tighter availability of shop fronts in core areas. Whereas there was no change in vacancy rate in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Central over Q3, retail space in Mongkok further contracted. Mr Lam said, "While we reserve some hope for the prime retail rents to stabilize in 2017, with an anticipated drop of less than 5% during H1, we believe the non-core areas can continue to count on the growing sales of daily goods, and a growth of 3 to 5% in main street rents can be expected for Tuen Mun and Yuen Long in H1."
For the F&B sector, there has been continuous growth in business for most types of F&B outlets during the past six years, but in 2016, the growth slowed down to a single-digit level. Rents of F&B space also began to taper off, with all prime districts recording a quarterly decline from 0.4 to 1.2% in the final quarter of 2016. Mr Lam commented: "Given no major change that is foreseeable for the F&B sector, we expect that the overall F&B rents in the first half of 2017 will be stable or drop by 3 to 5%, as the rental affordability will be limited by the operation mode of the F&B industry."

Collins Square, Blackheath, 1945
These weather-boarded cottages in a cul-de-sac off Tranquil Vale may be a unique survival from the agricultural days of Blackheath village.
The court, never truly a square, is named after the Collins family who owned the five fields to the west of Blackheath Village from the 1780s when almost none of the other village houses had been built.
As the suburb grew Collins Square became one of the enclaves in which it's service workers lived. The number of cottages dwindled over the centuries, but the three that remained were well restored in the 1960s.

My wife randomly asked me, "how will you score yourself this year?" Somehow, I feel 2017 did not really complete the 365 days or more importantly 731 days of 2016 just happened. In my final 2017 note to my team, I moaned that we did not complete a single new fund for BudgIT in 2017 and it was mainly on tending the past and the ongoing strive to deliver the right value for stakeholders. It happens. I accept the disappointments and I have the lessons. Stepping back from operational issues has to be one, so my last event for today was a final meeting for a new personnel with the potential to transit to Chief Operations Officer. An organization with our kind of mission has to accept it's beyond the person of Oluseun Onigbinde.
I did not go penniless in 2017 but a lot of missed investment decisions left me scratching my head. All that cryptocurrency surge and I could not even drop a dime in it? I have never won a lottery and maybe this elite MMM is waiting for me, to sap my money. Even the exchange gains of the early years got me on the wrong side after a tardy approach to seize the sails. In a very timid way, I failed to lead a huge grant proposal that we tagged along as a coalition partner, it left me with multiple complaints. My assistant, Iyanuoluwa, is tired of listening to my wailing. I have to move on and take on the bullish mode for 2018.
But, I am grateful. Grateful to God for life, safety, provision and amazing family. I traveled less, worked to spend more time with family, for this I am grateful. I watched Hannah grow into the amazing girl that mumbles "Dandi" and now mocks me with our anthem in an uneven scream"Baby, what a baby, big baby". My younger brother got married, you can imagine the responsibility but I am glad to shoulder it, keeping my father's' memories steady lightens me up. BudgIT on the steady roll with the Civic Hive Project, now the fund-raising mode for a six-storey HQ and that groundbreaking work with the State of States, I was so glad. Chelsea won the league after an uncharacteristic slump, Shooting went to relegation.
The world accepted Donald Trump and he has taken it all with errors, infantile tweeting and throwing tantrums around the world. Buhari is still Buhari, clearly showing that if we are really honest, he doesn't have the intelligence to run the country in this age. I hope he gets the right signal to pass over the baton in 2018. I
I am increasingly getting fed up asking for changes in government, at what point do we throw in the hat and make a plunge? Going in alone will that change anything? Didn't lot have to excuse Sodom and Gomorrah when it was no longer habitable? What is really the way forward? The advocacy is booming and I am that guy not surprised that I need to be introduced. The rational thing is to make BudgIT better but where is the irrational one that meets my interests that the Nigerian citizen deserves everything that equalizes opportunity. If you see my campaign poster in 2018, a dry run for a more larger interest in the year ahead, don't be surprised. If it goes back to expanding the fold of active citizens, I take it forward that I am staying on my calling.
I want to learn three things – riding a bicycle (always ashamed and stranded in Stanford), playing the piano and swimming. It can't always about data, it is time to find those skills that make life diverse. I am hoping to read more, finish my book and more importantly more time with my God and family. I look forward to a year in good health for friends and family, most especially my father-in-law. I look forward to a year I conquered my mobile phone and immerse into deeper thinking.
It all seems we overvalue this moment as tomorrow (January 1) seems just like another roll of the script. Maybe I bumped in 2017 with so much euphoria of the amazing 2016, drawing up a long list. Now, I will take a step at a time, work deeper within and triple my work ethic and dedication. I am really looking forward to 2018 and I pray God keeps us all safe. It going to be a big board on the wall, crafted a step at a time.

April 1, 2011- La Crosse area Democrats say they will file petitions today with enough signatures to trigger a recall election of Sen. Dan Kapanke, one of eight Senate Republicans targeted over votes to curtail collective bargaining rights for public workers. If approved, it would be just the fifth recall election of a Wisconsin legislator.
Recall organizer Pat Scheller said volunteers have gathered more than the 15,588 signatures needed and that they plan to take them to Madison after a noon rally today at La Crosse City Hall.
It is expected to be the first completed of 19 active recall efforts registered between Feb. 24 and March 2 against 16 senators.
Kapanke did not return messages Thursday, but has said the recall is "part of the process."
"I love campaigns. I just didn't think I'd do one every year," Kapanke said Saturday at the opening of a La Crosse County GOP headquarters.
He has defended his vote for the bill, which stripped most collective bargaining rights from state, municipal and school workers, as a necessary step in balancing the state's budget while minimizing layoffs.
The filing comes just before the halfway point in the 60-day window the recall committee had to gather signatures in the district.
The state Democratic Party provided infrastructure support but "not a single paid canvasser was needed to trigger the recall versus Dan Kapanke," said party spokesman Graeme Zielinski, who credited volunteers for collecting more than 20,000 signatures in less than 30 days.
"It took on a life of its own," said Scheller, who filed the original paperwork to launch the recall effort.
Scheller, a banker who describes himself as a "middle of the road" guy who isn't a member of the party, said Kapanke "is a decent person, but I think he showed a lack of fortitude in supporting the bill without questioning any of it."
Eight Democrats who fled to Illinois for several weeks in an effort to prevent Senate Republicans from passing the bill are also targeted for recall — some by more than one committee. The other six senate Democrats, including Kathleen Vinehout of Alma, are not eligible for recall until 2012.
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse political scientist Joe Heim said he was surprised by the speed with which the signatures were collected but cautions that it doesn't mean Kapanke will lose his seat.
"I don't think it automatically determines the outcome of the election," he said. "There's a certain intensity of the people favoring the recall. … Whether or not that intensity stays through is another question."
There have been just four recall elections of Wisconsin legislators, according to the Government Accountability Board; only two were successful.

Joseph Alexander Gilfillan (born 1838 and died 1913) was an Episcopal missionary to Native Americans of the Ojibwa Tribe on White Earth Reservation in northern Minnesota during 35 years from 1873 until 1908.
Joseph Alexander Gilfillan was born October 23, 1838, in Gorticross, County Londonderry, Ireland to Alexander Gilfillan and his wife Margaret. He married Harriet Woodbridge Cook April 19, 1877.[1] He graduated from the General Theological Seminary, New York, in 1869. From 1869 until 1873 he was rector successively of two English churches in Minnesota. From June, 1873, until, September, 1908, he served as missionary to the Ojibwas at White Earth.[2]
He worked diligently and earnestly to learn the Ojibwe language, to ascertain and record the origins of place names in the areas where he worked, to perform accurate and worthy translations of the Ojibwe place names into English, and to encourage that the names so recorded continue to be used in one form or another after settlement.
Gilfillan's work was cited frequently by Warren Upham in his remarkable history of place names in Minnesota, "Minnesota Place Names, A Geographical Encyclopedia." Upham characterized Gilfillan's paper "Minnesota Geographical Names Derived from the Chippewa Language" as one of the two "most important resources of information on Minnesota geographic terms of Indian origin."[3]
His wife Harriet considered life at White Earth a hardship, and often spent winters socializing in New York, occasionally in Europe.[4]
Rev. Gilfillan retired in 1908 and went to Washington, D.C. He was the chief editor of the 1911 Ojibwa edition of the Book of Common Prayer entitled "Iu Wejibuewisi Mamawi Anamiawini Mazinaigun" ("Iw Wejibwewizi Maamawi-anami'aawini Mazina'igan").[2]
Rev. Gilfillan died in New York City on November 18, 1913, after a year's illness.[5]
The Minnesota Historical Society keeps a vast inventory of articles and reminiscences by Gilfillan and his wife Harriet on their missionary work; Gilfillan's translations of Ojibwe personal and place names and legends; letters (1883-1893) in Ojibwe from Ojibwe ministers and missionaries, with Gilfillan's translations; miscellaneous letters and memorabilia on Ojibwe language and culture and on church affairs; family and genealogical data; information on the erection of a monument to Gilfillan in Itasca State Park (1940); and articles by Harriet describing her work as a teacher of weaving among the Navaho Indians in 1875 and a trip on the Cumberland Canal.[6] A Gilfillan article on the culture of Ojibwe, both Christian and non-Christian and with an emphasis on the Red Lake band, was published in Volume 9 of the Minnesota Historical Society Collections.

Online business review directories allow customers to share their experiences and give a rating. Owners and managers are also able to publicly directly respond to reviews.

Many clubs run already run rewards programs. But these programs are often still run with pen and paper, with club staff having to manually record everything, or through clunky third party websites. Reward programs should support desirable real world behaviors, drive digital engagement and incentivize key conversions. Mobile is ideal for a successful rewards program because it has the ability augment real world behaviors and induce behavior change. For example, when you reward members for checking-in, you're incentivizing them to go to the club, which increases retention and keeps members who would have otherwise quit coming back to your club.Read More

Yeddyurappa defends himself in response to governor's letters
Yeddyurappa defends himself in response to governor's letters
Bangalore, Dec 19 (PTI) Responding to Karnataka governor H R Bhardwaj's letters, chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Sunday defended himself against land scam allegations, saying he had not indulged in any irregularities in denotification of land.
In a tersely worded communication, Yeddyurappa said denotification of land had also taken place during the regime of JDS leader H D Kumaraswamy and even then there were reports of irregularities, chief minister's office sources said.
On 15 December, the governor had shot off two letters to Yeddyurappa asking him to send a detailed report on the land scams allegedly involving his family members and also what action had been taken to stop illegal mining, with specific reference to the Reddy brothers, ministers and mining magnates Janardhana and Karunakara.
Yeddyurappa, in his response, has stated in a veiled manner that the governor's missive had been based on Kumaraswamy's complaint and that his actions were prompted by the latter, the sources said.
The sources said Yeddyurappa also clarified that the land alloted to his son and daughter had been returned.
On the issue of allotment of 'G´ category site using discretionary powers, Yeddyurappa said he would follow the recent High Court order and stop such allotment, sources said.
In response to another letter by Bhardwaj seeking clarification on the business interests of the three Bellary ministers, the Reddy brothers and their close associate, Sreeramulu, he defended them saying their transactions are in accordance with the law, sources said.
Yeddyurappa also informed the governor that the three ministers did not own any mining licence in Karnataka, sources said.
The governor had hit out at Yeddyurappa for failing to take any action over the land scam and mining controversies and had directed him to respond to his letters quickly.

Baile Mhargaite Broch (Lochan Druim An Duin, Sandy Dun, Invernaver)
The broch is protected on three sides by steep rocky slopes and is approached across a low saddle which was most probably faced off with a defensive outer wall. A crude wall has been built around the top of the inner face in recent times.
You can walk along the dunes from Invernaver to the cliffs below the broch, and there is a steep track from there up to the broch itself. The climb to the broch is rocky and steep, so good clothing and boots would be highly recommended. Not one for the family.

Welcome back, pr0n lovers, it's good to see you again. Right now is that awkward time of year when you're in one season, but the stores are in another. The good news is that if you play your cards right you can have a shopping trip to fill any pr0n fantasy. Today I'm going to bring to you the best of the best sales on the web. Just remember: half off Gucci is still a month's rent. This is pr0n after all.
Whenever I'm looking for a pr0nish deal, I start at Bluefly.com . You can count on brand names you know at really good deals. Extra sales come frequently here, as well as lots of opportunity to enter into a sweepstakes for this or that. I haven't won yet, but I keep trying! Speaking of which, right now they're having their "Designer Blue Sale", so lots of scrumptious sales are sure to be found.
I don't usually start with handbags, but this kelly green patent leather "Diego Toto" tote by Shih Handbags caught my eye and wouldn't let go. Let's start with the price: this is a bag which retails for $495 – the Blue Sale price is $222.99. That's not a deal, that's a steal. Don't think I'm not drooling over the divine patent leather green which is perfect for spring and summer – how often do you get a bag for next season at half off? Never! Hello? For those of the slightly faint of heart, it also comes in black patent leather, which is rarely a bad investment.
The other thing that I really want to point out about this bag is that the drop (the length from the top of the straps to the bag) is 8″, which makes it plenty long enough to actually be a shoulder bag. I have a pet peeve about adorable bags that don't fit over your shoulder. I'm sorry, but I'm not Holly Golightly walking around NYC in my pearls, and handbag in the crook of my arm. If you are, more power to you.
Now here's where we get really pr0ny. I'm going to show you the most delicious pair of shoes at the most delicious price – if they don't have them in this color in this size, don't blame me.
Let's talk Nanette Lepore – a designer who makes the most adorable clothing and accessories with a feminine, vintage feel. Let's talk a 3 3/4″ heel, with a slight platform and a peep toe; I'm guessing the platform is a good inch. What that platform does is make that 3 3/4″ feel like 2 3/4″, so your podiatrist won't yell at you too much. The shoe comes in three flavors, I prefer the sand and black, but the ivory and taupe is also acceptable. The navy and cream is just a little too Andrews Sisters for me. These shoes retail for a substantial $495; Blue Sale price: $160.99. You heard me. These puppies would go with everything: skirts, pants and dresses. They'd make a fabulous addition to your wardrobe.
Remember how I said half off Gucci was still a month's rent? I meant Prada. Say it with me: Praaaaadaaaa. Doesn't it just make you tingle all over? Men, I have for you a Prada herringbone wool 3 button suit at 45% off.
Retail price (I feel like I'm on The Price is Right here): $1895; Blue Sale price $1045.49. A Prada suit is an investment. (Prada anything is an investment.) You put that suit on and it says: I look good. I feel good. I AM good. (What it says is "Call your your blogger. I'm single!) The one feature I want to call attention to is the "stance"; that's where the top button hits. Because the stance is particularly high on a three- button suit, it's going to be flattering on anyone looking to hide a little tummy; the lower that stance is, the more you're calling attention to it. Also, the rule for buttoning 3 button suits is from top to bottom: sometimes, always, never. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Remember we talked about Nanette Lepore earlier? I was surprised and delighted to find this pure silk "Dazzle Me Dress" on clearance at Cusp. Please please please go buy this short merlot dress with silver appliques. It was $595, and it's on clearance (currently sizes two through eight) for $178.50. Boat neck, cap sleeves, keyhole detail. If I had the money, I'd buy it myself! So buy it for me and wear it someplace fabulous. Maybe even with the guy in the Prada suit.
|From Shopping Pr0n
Now just because this is pr0n, don't ever believe you have to sacrifice form for function. Perish the thought! If you can't find something stylish and functional, you simply haven't looked hard enough! (Or read my blog.) I'm going to show you all a few different bags, just to show how much of a variety in form and fashion there is, starting with this Cynthia Rowley "Neo Tote". Cynthia Rowley is another one of my favorite designers, particularly when it comes to handbags, because her designs are fun. They have a sense of humor about them without feeling like your bag is screaming a la Betsey Johnson.
Don't get me wrong, Betsey has a time and a place, but it's not all the time and it's not for everyone. Anyway, I love this adorable black and white (or red and black) tote. It's perfect for an overnight bag, or an everyday handbag for someone in a more "flexible" industry. Inside it's divided into two compartments, with a middle zippered compartment, and the outside has a zipper on each side to make it expandable. Note also the two outside front pockets. This bag was originally $398 and is currently on sale for $199! Get it now! Go on, I'll wait.
MEN: Please stop thinking that your only choices in life are the same basic black briefcase that everyone else has (you know, the one that's not really made for a laptop that you overstuff 'til it groans and bulges like your belt after Thanksgiving dinner?), or a casual canvas messenger bag that you could (and may) have used in college. There is hope! For only $29.99…no, sorry. Got carried away there. I'll spare you the thousand dollar Prada this time in favor of this black leather Andrew Marc laptop messenger bag. That's right, a leather laptop messenger bag.
Supple leather, 15″ width large enough for an average laptop, sling-like strap, an interior file pocket and a front flap with a magnetic snap closure for easy, but secure access. The bottom has 5 metal feet, meaning if you put it on the ground it's not going to destroy the bottom of the bag. Retail price $450, Blue Sale price: $270. Forty percent off, all access pass…
The last bag I'm showing is because my instinct is to go fairly girly, but I know some of you like the boyish girls and I want to show that a handbag doesn't have to be ultra-feminine to be chic and fashionable and still look like a woman's bag.
In fact, it's called "Barney's Chic Mailbag". It's got chic right in the name! Truth in advertising for once. Now, the bag has a 4″ handle drop, so if it's going to fit under your shoulder, it's going to fit right under your shoulder. But this is an Italian patent leather mailbag from Barney's New York. It has a canvas lined interior with leather trim organizational pocket and two organizational pockets.
My little pr0n lovers, there's nothing not feminine about this bag. Think Marlene Dietrich or Greta Garbo. Then think about the price: originally $695, now on sale for $169. If you have any interest in this bag GET IT NOW. Bargains just don't get any pr0nier than this.
Our time is up my little p0rn fans. I'll leave you with something all of us can appreciate. This Only Hearts lavender grey tiered camisole and hipster. Cami originally $59, now $17.70, hipsters originally $39, now $10.80-$18. Something to curl up with at night.
That's it for now. It was good for me; tell me: was it good for you?

Outings to the sea and culture in Palma de Mallorca
In the beautiful city of Palma de Mallorca , in the Balearic Islands, we find marinas and boat moorings to go around the island. But in addition to renting a yacht in Mallorca and navigating its calm waters, discovering its museums in contemporary art is an attraction because it counts many different and of great importance.
To begin with, the footprints of Joan Miró are also in this land, as well as in Barcelona, the painter spent time in the Balearic capital. For this reason, the city has the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Mallorca, which includes a collection of nearly 6,000 works that the Catalan artist created when he was in the islands. Here he had his workshop and some of his creations can be seen.
Sailing in Mallorca and enjoying its museums and culture
After a boat trip , contemporary art continues in Palma, thanks to artists such as Miquel Barceló, who is the author of part of the interior of the city's cathedral, which he finished in 2006. His work in this emblematic building, from the that you see the sea, the port and the boats that we will take to rent in the Balearics. The work is a polychrome ceramic wall of approximately 300 m2, covering almost all of the architectural walls. He also built five stained glass windows 12 meters high with shades of grisaille and a set of liturgical furnishings made of stone from the municipality of Binissalem. It is not modernist, but in the same cathedral, its museum allows to see the temple and others when there are no liturgical services.
Modernism is also present in Palma de Mallorca, thanks to buildings such as stately homes, palaces and patios that are displayed both in the historic center and elsewhere. Many of these modernist buildings are close to the sea, on their promenades and host events, art centers or institutional buildings that everyone can see every day.
Another museum that is worth visiting, before going on a sailing trip in Mediterranean waters, is Es Baluard , a contemporary art museum that is inside the old Renaissance wall, 500 square meters of the promenade. It stands out for its cultural and didactic activities, and welcomes 5,000 square meters, and some 2,500 exhibition spaces.
In addition, all the Balearic Islands enjoy art galleries around the islands. In them you can visit permanent and temporary exhibitions giving impetus to local artists but also international, thanks to the openness to the world and the number of foreigners that inhabit them.

My husband had a professional meeting in Denver and I went along. I asked several friends about things they would recommend doing there. One said to be sure to eat at "The Kitchen" (we did). Another said I should not miss the International Sherlock Holmes Exhibition (I didn't). There was a suggestion that we visit "The Tattered Cover Book Store (we did). And then I consulted with the Denver Tourist Bureau and was offered many more suggestions. Surprisingly, when I arrived, I met a friend from New Jersey, also accompanying her husband who had a car and unexpectedly had time to explore with me. (My friend told me that Denver, where her daughter lives, is the best place in the country for individuals who have limited mobility and/or are wheel chair bound.) In two days we explored restaurants, museums and gardens in Denver. Our dining experiences included The Kitchen on our first night and Rioja on our last night.
The meeting was located at the Grand Hyatt, which was close to the free city bus that runs along the 16th Street Mall where The Kitchen is located. Approaching the restaurant, Gabe, an employee, was leaving the restaurant. He asked if we were looking for the entrance and as he directed us, he told us that the ambiance and food were wonderful.
We were a little early and realized that The Tattered Cover Book Store was just down the block. What a wonderful store. It was huge, energetic, comfortable and fun. We wandered from one room to another amazed at the variety and quantity of books. People all around seemed to be enjoying themselves. We certainly were.
Now The Kitchen beckoned. Seated in a cozy corner, our server Bradley, helped us select a wonderful wine, mussels for my husband and the best gluten-free, vegetarian meal I remember having. Manager, Jenni Connally came by and told us that The Kitchen began in Boulder in 2004 and now has locations across Colorado in Boulder, Denver, and Fort Collins, one location in Chicago and three locations coming soon to Memphis. Their message of "Community Through Food" is spreading.
Our other dining experience was with good friends of ours who live in Boulder. They enjoy coming in to Denver to attend events at the Denver Performing Arts Complex and Pepsi Center. Frequently they include dinner at Rioja located in historic Larimer Square. Our friends have been eating there for many years and have observed Executive Chef/Owner Jennifer Jasinski and General Manager/Owner Beth Gruitch lead the team at Rioja, moving from a small restaurant to a larger one and then to add two additional restaurants. The food and wine were outstanding and I had a gluten-free, vegetarian meal the was Four Square, four square dishes each filled with tasty items.
My friend joined me on a visit to the Denver Botanic Gardens. As I approached the Green House Complex and saw a video in the entryway, I was amused. I realized that, here I was at the Denver Botanic Garden and there was a video showing the progression of the corpse flower or Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum). So here I was witnessing the story of the plant in Denver that I had read about as it opened, while at the same time the same plant at the Chicago Botanic Garden, the one I watched for months, didn't. But then another one did. Fascinating plants!
The gardens were lovely, calming and invigorating. The Science Pyramid, The Japanese Garden and The Children's Garden were standouts.
Once again my friend and I set out to explore. Our goal was the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to see the International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes. Once there, we were impressed with the accessibility of the displays and how intriguing they were, the Health Section, the mummies, the Mars Rover and more. However, the Sherlock Holmes Exhibition, which will remain in place through January 31, 2016 before heading to Seattle, was outstanding and a "not to miss" activity. Multi-sensory and muli-media, it totally engaged young and old, alike. I loved the interview with Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, the experiential aspects of the exhibition and I was astounded at its size. It was totally enjoyable. Order Tickets
It was the Denver Art Museum that concluded my Denver visit. It is an impressive building in a charming area. The exhibitions were varied and noteworthy but I was struck with the various offerings of Southwestern art. How appropriate! This museum hosts a wide variety of activities for families, especially on weekends. Watch for the Andrew Wyeth exhibition.
My friend had wanted to visit Boulder and invited me along to "hang out" at the Pearl Street Mall. We walked along one block after the next "oogling" shops and occasionally stepping inside to feast our eyes not intending to purchase anything- Ha! We found this area to be charming and family friendly with lots of fun areas for children to explore.
We entered Peppercorn and were drawn to one item after the next. They seemed to carry anything and everything one could want especially if it related to food preparation.
And look at all the hot sauce!
We walked several blocks and decided to have lunch at the Organic Sandwich Company. This turned out to be a great idea. The food is local and organic and I was thrilled with my vegetarian soup and gluten-free bread. Owner Marcy Miller chatted with me and shared that she had lived in Evanston for years, Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
Heading back to the car we treated ourselves to one last look around at Nature's Own where we saw beautiful rocks, geodes, and a noisy dinosaur replica. This is the perfect tourist spot.

5 Design And Layout Tips For The Perfect Salon Interior
Whether you're setting up a brand-spanking new salon, or you're thinking of giving your current one a refresh, we're here to help you get the most out of your salon interior. Us Wido-ers are the experts at making any room fabulous and we believe in making the most out of whatever space you have.
It doesn't really matter what style of salon you are, whether you purely focus on hairdressing or specialise in manicures and fake tanning. It's important to really consider every aspect of your salon, from lighting, mirrors, spacing between stations to name only a few.
But fear not! We wouldn't be Wido without offering a helping hand. Here are five of our best design and layout tips for the perfect salon interior. Some starting points for you to consider when you're kitting out and creating your dream Salon!
- Start With Your Theme – Salons nowadays don't tend to stick to one specific theme and they have started to really create their own individual personalities within the industry. With more and more salons beginning to construct an environment that really suits their brand, it's important to first choose a 'theme' and stick with it throughout your whole design process. Work with what you've been given, if your space has lots of exposed brick, perhaps go for a more rustic style of design. Or maybe your unit is more open? Create something that's light and brightening – utilise what you've been given in the first instance.
- Consider The Practicality Of Things – So you've created your perfect space and customers are rolling in for treatments but something's not quite right? You're spending more time moving things around and having to go look for products because the set up just isn't, well, practical! No finer detail is too small when it comes to laying out your salon and it's crucial to how practical your set up is. Walk through every aspect of your treatments – what products do you need? Where do you store them? Can you store them better? Something like a Salon Trolley can help with this; keeping everything you need right by your side at your station without having to waste time looking for products.
- Get In The Zone – Create specific zones for your customers, especially if you offer several types of treatments at your salon. Have an area that's dedicated to hairdressing, with mirrors, chairs, wash basins etc. and then have a separate designated area for those that are there for a nail treatment. With these zones, you can create a different feel but don't stray too far from your overall theme! Having a cohesive interior is important, so you shouldn't create two completely different styles for each zone, just enough to assure the customer that there are different aspects to your salon.
- Lights, Mirrors, Action! – Lighting and mirrors are two key elements in any salon and they can completely change space. It's important to get the right level of lighting so that it's not too bright as to have a clinical feel but you, as a hairdresser/nail technician/tanning expert can see exactly what you're doing. You don't want your clients loving their hair colour in the salon, leaving and seeing in natural light that it's completely different! Ensure your lighting reflects real life for guaranteed customer satisfaction. Mirrors are also important within a design layout and using them in the correct way can open up small spaces and make rooms appear much bigger than they actually are. By having multi-mirrored stations you can open up your salon, but be wary of the placement of mirrors and lighting together – nobody wants to be blinded when they're getting their hair done!
- Plan! – Our final tip is to plan every aspect. Draw up your layout and then draw it up again, create back up options in case your initial one doesn't work. Measure up your space correctly and look at the measurements of the salon furniture you're looking into to really make the most of your space.
So get your plans drawn up, ideas onto paper and look into what type of salon you're wanting to create. You can get some inspiration from our Salon Furniture Sets as a starting point to see the various affordable options we offer here at Wido!
