Gold-filled Chain Bracelet for Men
Exceptionally handsome man's gold chain bracelet. Made with 14K gold-filled wire (not plated!), this chainmaille bracelet will look very cool on any man's wrist.
The bracelet is made in 18 gauge wire and weighs 1.06 ounces (shown), which is pretty substantial. It feels great. Because it's gold-filled, it will last for years and years (unlike plated wire, which will eventually wear off under normal use in a few months).
See how beautiful this looks? The last image shows an extreme close-up view so you can see how exactly the rings close. They won't pinch, scratch, or open. I make this bracelet slowly and carefully, so you will enjoy it for years.
Prices are updated regularly to reflect changing market rates for gold-filled wire. This item is priced by length because gold fill wire is quite expensive. In fact, gold fill is approximately twice the cost of sterling silver! These prices may be updated as the costs of gold and gold-fill wire change. With variable length options, you get–and only pay for–exactly what you want.
Free Shipping!
I look forward to receiving your order for this very handsome bracelet.
8.75 inches (as shown), choose your length
3/8 inch wide, just under a half inch

Loveless Cafe
8400 Highway 100 (at McCrory Ln)
Nashville, TN 37221
This legendary Highway 100 diner sets the standard for Southern homestyle fare, with loads of tantalizing standards like country ham, chicken biscuits, catfish, and pork chops. The restaurant has seen several different owners since it first opened in the 1950s, however, the top-secret biscuit recipe has stayed the same. Breakfast is the meal Loveless is most known for, but if you go for lunch or dinner, you can justify a pie tasting as the final course (we won't judge, though, should you order pie before noon). Visiting on a Saturday or Sunday? Prepare for a long wait; the best time to go is late morning during the week to avoid the weekend warriors, though you can always kill time in the general store.

I recieved a large bag of lovely cucumbers from my Grandpa today who grows them in his garden every summer. It was the perfect bag of goodness one could recieve on a day like today, since cucumbers are one of the best naturally cooling vegetables you could possibly enjoy! The heat index today in Minnesota was up to 106 degrees...and the perfect day for a cocktail I decided, including the cucumbers! I thought gin would be perfect with the cucumbers, as well as some fresh lemon and basil! I added a bit of agave syrup to balance out the tart lemon as well. After all was shaken, poured and tasted...I was feeling refreshed! This was the just the remedy needed for a way too hot summer day!
Cool Cuke CocktailServes 1
1/2 cup large ice cubes
6 cucumber slices
6 cucumber slices
1 oz agave syrup*
3 oz Gin
1 oz fresh organic lemon juice
In a martini shaker, muddle the basil leaves with the ice, crushing them until they are in small pieces. Add the cucumbers, syrup, gin, and lemon juice, place top on shaker, and shake until well blended. Pour a chilled glass, adding and serve!
*To make agave syrup, heat 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup agave until agave is evenly dissolved in water. Cool completly and store in the fridge.

Shape APA Policy Guides on Equity, Housing, and Surface Transportation
Authentic and transparent community engagement is a core element of good planning just as meaningful member engagement is essential to the development of APA policy guides.
Now through February 28, APA members can comment on draft policy guides on equity, housing, and surface transportation. The draft guides, which were developed by APA members and approved by APA's Legislative and Policy Committee, propose policy recommendations that move us all closer to a shared vision of great communities.
The chairs of APA's three policy guide working groups recently previewed the policy ideas and themes behind the draft guides and offered tips for making the most out of the member-only review process.
Planning for Equity Policy Guide
The member-led effort to create APA's first Policy Guide on Equity has been under way for the better part of two years. During that time, a working group of APA member volunteers produced a white paper, a draft framework, and an outline and full draft of the policy guide. The volunteers engaged hundreds of APA members and partners at the National Planning Conference and the Policy and Advocacy Conference in 2017 and 2018. They also received and reviewed input from APA members from all over the country.
From the start, our approach to this policy guide was based on two simple, yet bold ideas:
Planning for equity is not an extra for planners — it should be practiced as a hard skill.
The principles of equity should be at the core of all planning policies.
Thanks to the efforts of the working group and ongoing feedback from APA members, the policy guide has reached an important milestone: the APA member comment period. This review period is your opportunity to preview the full guide in draft form and share your feedback and additional ideas with the committee.
As you review the document, here are a few things to keep in mind:
The policy guide is written by and for APA members. The policy guide working group is a diverse group of APA members volunteering expertise and significant time to create a policy guide that helps all planners embrace their ethical responsibility to plan for equity by building field capacity with specific policy considerations and practices.
The policy guide is a living document. While this policy guide covers a lot of ground, it does not cover everything. This guide does not address every aspect of planning practice. The policy guide is a living document that will benefit from regular review and updates as APA members and allied professionals expand their equity knowledge base through research and practice.
The policy guide is one element of APA's ongoing equity, diversity and inclusion efforts. In the last two years, APA has reached a number of significant milestones, including establishing the Diversity Committee (2017), defining a Diversity and Inclusion Strategy (2018), introducing the Planning for Inclusiveness and Social Justice educational track at the 2018 National Planning Conference, and establishing a Social Equity Task Force (2018) to assist APA in identifying the set of resources and tools members need access to for their own capacity building. When adopted, the Planning for Equity Policy Guide will be an important addition to this broader set of activities.
The policy guide benefits from your feedback. Every step of this process has been critical to ensuring that our team understands what APA members need to see in the final policy guide. We thank each member that has contributed to this process to date. Your ideas, questions, stories, and challenges continue to inform this work. Your feedback also helps to frame future work — research, training, and more — in the planning for equity space.
Housing Policy Guide
Much has changed in the U.S. and globally since the current APA Housing Policy Guide was adopted in 2006. The Housing Bubble, mortgage crisis, subprime and predatory lending, and foreclosures fanned the flames of an intense Great Recession. The great recovery has had its own peaks and valleys. The economy rebounded in most places, but the lingering challenges of housing availability and affordability remained.
Despite the difficult environment, the current guide has helped APA advocate for reforms and has encouraged planners to continue their efforts to create and preserve housing options for all. The adequate supply of housing and importance of its location; the key role planners play in creating affordable and accessible housing; and the importance of housing as a way of achieving social equity goals are among the myriad of issues covered in the 2006 guide.
Today, housing remains a top issue for cities and metro areas as much as it is for suburbs and rural places. Throughout the U.S., planners are struggling to address the challenges of meeting current and future demand for housing.
The new draft guide provides an overview of how the housing inventory and housing conditions have changed since 2006 and emphasizes the challenges of affordability, cost burden, and location. The guide outlines ways planners can help meet current and future demand and the role of housing in achieving sustainability goals. Lastly, the guide discusses the issue of the rise in homelessness.
The policies identified in the draft guide complement APA's Planning Home initiative goals: encouraging planners to plan, zone, create and preserve, and advocate for housing choice. Policies that aim to improve public and private financing are also discussed in the guide.
As housing availability and affordability continue to figure prominently in local, state, and national dialogues, this guide will become a critical tool for APA and its members.
Surface Transportation Policy Guide
Transportation remains one of the most critical components of planning and developing a neighborhood, city, or region in which people can thrive. Amid many changes coming about from "disruptive" transportation technology and all the talk of a national effort to improve infrastructure, APA continues to believe that well-planned investments in transportation can and should create great communities of lasting value — for everyone.
Making those well-planned investments means breaking down silos of how we plan and develop places. It takes a broad, comprehensive, and inclusive approach that aligns data, understanding, goals, and resources for transportation to meet the strategic needs of our nation and its communities in an equitable manner for a bright and better future.
It's been almost 10 years since APA developed its adopted Surface Transportation Policy Guide. Since 2010, there have been two federal transportation funding authorizations — MAP21 and the FAST Act — that have largely left intact the legacy of the groundbreaking Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 even amid changes in federal leadership and governance. But that relatively stable funding legacy is being threatened now on several fronts.
The United States is arguably experiencing the biggest change in its public policy environment in decades, as conventional forms of governance, accountability, regulation, budgeting, and funding authority face new challenges in the form of demographic changes, ideology, and political conflict, rapid advances in technology, and an expanding role of the private sector in developing, testing, and deploying new models of transportation mobility.
In addition, the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released a comprehensive Special Report about the state of scientific, technical, and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, its impacts, and future risks. That report, reinforced by the Trump administration's own documents, lays out a stark projection of the rate at which climate change and sea level rise is taking place and its impacts by 2040, within the horizon of most regional transportation plans under development today.
In recognition of those dynamics, APA drafted a new Surface Transportation Policy Guide that focuses on the pressing issues of change facing the nation, its regions, and individual communities, from large urban metros to small towns and rural areas. Designed to complement the Freight Policy Guide adopted in 2016, Infrastructure Principles adopted in 2017, and Autonomous Vehicles Principles adopted in 2018, the draft guide focuses on seven substantive areas:
- Data for Equitable and Effective Decision Making
- Future of Public Transportation
- Safety and Vision Zero
- Rural, Suburban, and Exurban Transportation
- Project Development and Funding Decisions
- Energy and Transportation in the U.S.
- Transportation Revenue Amid a Changing Landscape
Together, these topic areas form a new platform that APA and its members will use to advocate for sound policies and priorities in the next major transportation funding reauthorization bill, which is due to replace the FAST Act when it expires in 2021. The guide will also help APA build coalitions to advocate for various policy positions on numerous other programs and spending initiatives at the federal and state level.
Next Steps
Your participation in the policy guide comment period is essential to ensuring APA policy guides reflect the breadth of member perspectives. Members can download the draft guides and share feedback using the online comment forms now through February 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
All comments received will be archived and shared with our policy guide working groups, who will use them to prepare the final versions of the guides that will go before the Delegate Assembly for adoption at the 2019 National Planning Conference.

So feast your eyes (if you have not been trawling the net for the latest stills like I have) of our HXY OTP: Jun Fu and Mu Yen. My general sentiment towards the costumes can only be described as "meh~". They're not terribly exciting and I feel like there are some really questionable choices there (blue fringes!). Some pieces look decidedly uncomfortable and don't fall nicely (frankly, the leather assemble KC is wearing in the picture above looks clunky as if made of cardboard.
In addition to giving her thoughts on Shen An and Song Ning's doomed romance, she also commented on our OTP. Translation and my two cents are under the cut, let me know what you think. 🙂 Be careful – it's totally spoillerrific.
Special thanks to Peanuts for compiling the weibo posts.
Regarding the Little Princess (ie Ye Zhen / Jun Fu) and Mu Yen, ten thousand people wonder why would Mu Yen fall in love with her?
Mu Yen is the kind of person that is more reserved in matters of love. Qin Ziyan approached him with an ulterior motive from the beginning; as such, he naturally used her as much as he possibly can. Whereas the Little Princess' love for him is clean and innocent – she respects and trusts him; her love for him is the kind that characterized by a willingness to give. He knows this and understands how precious this kind of feelings are. And that is why he loves the Little Princess.
So what is this willingness to give? There is a scene I wrote where the Little Princess wanted to give Mu Yen a present. But she didn't know what he liked. So she took out of her belongings that she had with her to let him choose, for fear that what she gives him is not the best. I feel that this kind of love is very beautiful.
If there is no Little Princess, Mu Yen is unlikely to fall in love with anyone. He knows how precious it is to be able to love someone, and that is why he said that it is good thing to have a weak point.
Because the book is written from Jun Fu's point of view, it's so easy to be drawn into her feelings and dilemma – she's dead and he's not. And I really liked how the themes explored earlier in the book are revisited in their finale, eg whether its better to have loved for a shorter period of time than expected, than never have loved at all (Thirteenth Moon) and whether it is better to forget than to remember both the love and the pain (Jiu Jiu), etc.
For quite a while after I read Tangqi's post, I was at odds because it sounded to me that Mu Yen only loved Jun Fu because Jun Fu loved him first and best (which is actually why I put off posting this for so long). I didn't really like that because it made me wonder if he loved her or if he loved how she made him feel. Because there's a distinction in some cases where in the latter case, he's more in love with his own vanity.
But then I reflected that Mu Yen actually sacrifices a lot for Jun Fu as well. In an early scene, she asked if he would marry a dead girl and he politely declined because he needs to continue his family line. But in the end, he married her anyway and did not take any secondary consorts or concubines. The epilogue actually opens with him standing at their tomb. She has already passed on for some time and have been interred. He will join her there once he passes on too. It then flashes back that the only way to extend her life was to give 15 years of his and the mystic cautioned him that he is a man with ambitious plans, so he needed to consider his decision carefully. But Mu Yen recalled the time where he found her after she was abducted, and he saw her with a dagger poised at her chest, ready to die than to be captured, he realised then that he cannot live without her.
So here you have it: Mu Yen has the ambition of his father and the romantic soul of his mother. Another doomed combination if I have ever seen one. Because I have never heard of a romantic dictator – even Napoleon gave up Josephine in the end.
Jun Fu fell in love with Mu Yen because he saved her twice at their first meeting. But I think if you ask her why she continued loving Mu Yen, it is also because he is willing to reciprocate her love with his own unconditional love. And in the face of that, does it really matter who loved who first or who loved who more?

Poll: Capitol Punishment
Voting will be open till the PPV starts and feel free to explain your choice in the comments section.
7 comments:
I'm really looking forward to Christian and Orton. Those two have a LOT of chemistry and I honestly feel like Orton has really turned up his game since going to Smackdown. I've meandered between loving and hating the guy for years now and he was getting a bit hard to tolerate on Raw but I'm digging his stuff a lot now. And Christian is, well, Christian. He's always phenomenal--especially now that he's actually being showcased. I just hope Orton's cleared to compete.ReplyDelete
The whole card looks solid, really, but nothing else sticks out to me as much as that one. I'm expecting a pretty fun show, for whatever reason.
I voted Orton/Christian as well, just because of the match they had at Over the Limit. They didn't just tear the house down, the tore the whole damn block down.ReplyDelete
And since I must balance any positive statement about Orton with a negative one: Randy Orton is a butt munch.
- AnonymousJune 17, 2011 at 1:08 AM
I voted Barrett/Jackson on the poll, though Orton/Christian was a close second. Two reasons: these two guys have amazing pure talent, and this match is a major steppingstone to the main event for whoever wins. Bold prediction: the winner of this match will be WWE/World Champion by next Wrestlemania.ReplyDelete
Predicted Bonus Match: Sin Cara & Daniel Bryan vs. Un-Dashing Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. Cody carries his old partner through one more match as they face The Internet's Favorite Tag Team. Result: Sin Cara & Bryan win and face Nexus the next Smackdown for the tag titles. Also, another major Rhodes meltdown after the match.
I don't know why but I voted for Truth vs Cena. I suppose it's because R-Truth's just been so damn awesome lately. When Miz is finshed with Riley, maybe Truth vs Miz? My prediction for Capitol Punishment is... R-Truth. Call me crazy, but they're really getting behind Truth, and I believe a WWE Championship could be the next step towards building his awesome character. Still looking forward to all the other matches though especially Orton vs Christian.ReplyDelete
- BobfocJune 17, 2011 at 6:12 AM
@Nadso: Truth vs Cena is my most anticipated match too, but I never really pondered the possibility of Truth winning the title. Thinking about it now, while I'm not convinced it will happen, it would be a great way to turn things on their head going into the summer. Failing that, I could see him being a strong contender for the Money in the Bank briefcase, even though I'm tired of the whole "cheap heel cash-in" routine now.ReplyDelete
I voted for R-Truth-Cena because not only have I loved the direction of Truth these last few weeks but this match will probably answer a couple questions I have. First, how is R-Truth going to handle being in a WWE Title match on a PPV and to see how they book the actual match as whether or not Truth is going to be an actual factor in the coming months or just a guy who is going to fade right back into oblivion.ReplyDelete
Orton/Christian isn't going to be all that great unless Orton has a clean bill of health and can go Sunday. He's legitimately concussed.ReplyDelete
With that option off the table, give me the two guys who always have great matches with each other, Punk and ReyRey.

A client is asking that more space be made between two feilds of content in the submitted email notifications. (It sounds like they have trouble seeing the color background change on every other field.
Is this something I can customize? I would like to add space between the two feilds as he requested or make the background more prominent so they can see the difference.

I myself find that the gray (specifically, #f9f9f9) does not contrast enough with the white. However, it can indeed be changed. Load your form in the form builder and while on the "Setup & Embed" tab, click "Email Alerts" in the toolbar, then select the notification or autoresponder on which you wish to modify the alternate background colors. On the "Compose Email" screen, click the "HTML" toolbar button and when the HTML Source Editor displays the source, find each instance of #f9f9f9 and change it to the color of your choice. When you're done, click "Update" and "Finish" and save your changes.
Tip: It may be more convenient to copy the code into an your own HTML editor (like Notepad++, for instance) and perform a "find an replace" on f9f9f9. Then when you're through, copy and paste the edited code back into the Compose Email's source editor.
Navigation Summary:
My Forms > Using the up and down arrow keys, select the form > Edit > Email Alerts > Notification or Auto Responder > HTML button > change #f9f9f9 > Finish > Save
As far as the spacing is concerned, I haven't tried adjusting that as yet but I'm sure that can be changed too.

I had to get up early, so I made breakfast out of a 7-11 stop. We won our quarterfinal with a mercy against Colombia. Afterwards, a bunch of us (including our fan dog) went to Perkins down the street. We then took a nap at Shaina's before heading back for the semifinal against another American team. We watched Japan win its semifinal and realized it was going to be one of us against Japan for the gold. We cheered Japan on and congratulated them as they came off the rink (they were an awesome, very nice, very disciplined team). Then we were out – and we won our way into the gold game.
With the few hours we had left before the championship game, Vyctoria and I made one of my classic runs to get slurpees at 7-11. I always get a Zombie (every flavor). We sang in my car for awhile, then went inside and played around on some apps while watching the men's games before us. Finally, it was our turn to dress. We were spotlighted on, one at a time, and began in no time. The game was tight for a while and the rink was nice and Olympic sized. We used the space very well. It's probably a reason we sneaked in a 3-1 victory without one of our top scorers. And with that, we had the gold. Kyla on our team got MVP for being the leading scorer. We took photos as a team, and then Japan joined us and we took a group photo too.
On the way out, I bought a plaque with our team picture. Vyctoria was given one of the both teams. Our medals are enormous and heavy… The whole family and I went back to the Smiths' where they were moving a lot of things around. I packed up my car, made one last reservation, then hit the road for Key West – not realizing how far it really was. I was sad to go, but I knew I had to get going soon and that I may see Vycky in a couple weeks in Ohio. On the way out, I made a stop at Dairy Queen in Naples and was disappointed to find they didn't sell breaded mushrooms! I'd never seen a DQ without those…but I got my favorite, a Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard, instead. I took it down to 7th Street Beach and ate it while it melted. I looked out at the pier to my left and realized I had stood on that pier 3 years ago, the same time we had all gone to (a different) DQ in Naples to get ice-cream. I undoubtedly had the same thing since it's pretty much all I've ordered since I used to get DQ after dance class in the late 90s. I remembered the conch we had found that was still alive at low tide and how my brother didn't mean to pick it. We took it to this pier at night and threw it off together. Maybe he's still down there. Then, as I looked down at how fast my ice cream had melted, I thought "Ice cream is SOO much better melted", finished it in seconds, and hit the road.
I made a stop for coffee on the Alligator Alley Seminole stop yet again. As I approached Miami, a lightning storm was setting in. Traffic was frustrating since people were driving like they had never seen rain before. When I finally got away from it, I found myself with a solid 2 more hours of driving 2-lane roads down the various keys to the last stop on the highway: Key West. It was after midnight when I arrived, but my key for my hostel room/bed was locked up with my name on my information. I got ready quickly and quietly and was glad to finally be in bed.

PROLOGUE: Where It All Began (pages 1-4)
Let me tell you how God redeemed the world.
On the eve of the Big Bang, over single-malt scotch and cigars, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were making a final run-through of their plans for the event. The Son was enthusiastic. "I think we've nailed it," he said to the Father. "I'm going to speak everything into being as your Word, and the Spirit here is going to breathe life into it. Then the two of us toss it back to you, and the cosmic party dances itself right into our Trinitarian lap. Elegant! Tov meod! Kala lian! Valde bona, and all that!"
"I have a problem, though," the Spirit says. "I'm the one responsible for the PR in all this, especially when it comes to the failsafe gambit of Incarnation we've planned to cover both creation and redemption. The Son really does make the world, right? But with the human race locked into time and space, it's going to look as if we haven't seriously tried to redeem the mess they've made until Jesus shows up late in history. The fact that we've had the Son in there tidying things up from the beginning is the last thing they'll think of. How do I convince them the Incarnation isn't just an afterthought?"
"Easy," says the Father. "Sure, it will look as if the Incarnation of my Word is simply a response to sin. But since all three of us will have been intimately present to everything from square one, all you have to do is give them images that show both creation and redemption going on full force from the start. From before the beginning, in fact, since we're talking about it right now. What's the problem with that?"
"The problem," the Spirit explains, "is precisely with the images. However many mysterious, right-brain images of the Word's age-long presence I give them, they're going to dream up transactional, left-brain ones and view him as something you inserted late in the day. Think of the damage they can do to your reputation as the Father who creates or even to the Son's, as the one who redeems if they decide to think of you as the coach in a football game and the Son as the quarterback. Since you're not going to reveal the Word's Incarnation until some two-thirds of history has gone by, how do I stop them from thinking you kept him in the locker room until the fourth quarter? We three may know he's been in there right from the first possession, but no one else will. Even your biggest fans are going to be hard put to sell that as brilliant management."
"Listen," the Father says. "I decide what's brilliant management, not the fans. And as for my reputation, that's your department, not mine. Besides, haven't we talked about this practically forever? You know the drill. All through the process of revealing my Son in history, you keep slipping them images of the hiddenness of his Incarnation—of the mystery of the Word's activity in the world even before you arrange for him to be born of Mary. You're going to hang images like the Paschal Lamb and the Rock in the Wilderness in their minds. After that, all you'll have to do is get somebody like Paul to say that those things were presences of Christ before Christ— that the Lamb and the Rock are in fact my Incarnate Word anticipating himself. What's so hard about that?"
"Plenty," the Spirit answers. I've been doing simulations of human thought in my mind. I think we've underestimated the effects of cooping people up in four dimensions. Look at it from my point of view. You plunk Jesus into the world at one spot in history, and then you expect me to convince them he's present as your Word in all of history — before, during, and after Jesus?"
The Son interrupts him. "But I really am going to be present. Or, to put it their way, I really will have been all along. So I don't see ..."
The Spirit's patience is wearing thin. "Give me a break! Since I'm the one who has to take everything that's yours and get it across to them, I'm trying to solve your problems here too. Just think about what they'll do with a Jesus who stays in history for only thirty-three years. Even if I get John to say that he's the Word who made everything from the beginning, they'll probably imagine him as a pot of holy soup we delivered too late for a good many of our customers. And after they've jumped to the conclusion that the Word wasn't present to anyone who lived before Jesus, they'll leap to the even more dreadful notion that nobody who lived after him can have his benefits until their assorted churches get him canned, marketed, and distributed to them."
The Father tries to break in. "But what about the Pentecost party we've planned to get the church going? Won't that ...?"
"I'm sorry," the Spirit insists, "but I'm afraid Pentecost will be just one more thing for them to misread. Don't get me wrong: I'm totally on board with both of you. But suppose I do give you the rushing mighty wind and the party hats made out of fire. Even suppose I throw in the mystery of speaking in different languages in order to get the universality of the Son's work into the picture. They're still going to think the church is in the world to sell clam chowder to customers who never had it before.
"I mean, think of the possibilities for ecclesiastical arrogance. Jesus takes away the sins of the world, right? In him, everyone who ever lived gets free forgiveness for whatever went wrong in full, in advance, and all in one cosmic shot, no strings attached. I'm even going to get the church to include "one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins" in the Nicene Creed so they'll see that the Baptism of Jesus himself does the whole job, even if no one else ever gets baptized. But do you know what they're going to do with that? They're going to paint themselves into a corner and say that the unbaptized go to hell or even that sins after Baptism make forgiveness flake off like a bad paint job, and that unless Christians go to confession for a second coat before they die, they'll go to hell too. Oh, sure. We've also agreed on this Reformation business where I convince them that nobody has to do anything to be forgiven except trust the grace that Jesus has already given everybody. But give them a hundred years after that and they'll manage to turn faith itself into a requirement for grace: no faith, no forgiveness. Out the window again goes the free gift we've given them once and for all; and back in comes forgiveness as a deal that's good only as long as they behave themselves."
"But why on earth," the Son wonders, "would they balk at getting something for nothing like that? Free grace and dying love isn't enough for them? Would they rather we dealt with them on the basis of accountability?"
The Spirit just keeps pressing his point. "I don't understand it any better than you do; all I know is what my simulations tell me. Human beings aren't afraid of accountability; they're crazy about it. If they can't get credit for themselves or dish out blame to others, they cry "Unfair!" That's why I pleaded with you to let me include something less subtle in the revelation. Remember? I suggested an image of the Son hiding a box of chocolates in every person's house: the gift would be there whether they know it or not, like it or not, believe it or not. Maybe then they'd see that their faith doesn't do anything to get them the chocolates of forgiveness; it simply enables them to enjoy what they already have. If they don't trust the gift, of course, it won't mean a thing to them. But the chocolates will always be there. I was even willing to make them miraculous, just to keep the element of mystery in the mix: no matter how many pieces anyone ate, the box would always be full. I still think it would have been a good idea."
Finally, though, the Father has had enough. "I understand your difficulties," he says; "but after all, somebody's got to be in charge here. In my mind, we've come up with a revelation that does the work of your chocolates without making us look like candy-pushers. The Son and I have every confidence in you. If you want to inspire the odd Christian apologist here or there to come up with images like that, be our guest. As I said, it's your department. But we're coming down to the wire here, so let's call this a wrap. We have a big day tomorrow."

The first step to become an IESE doctoral student is to apply for the IESE Master of Research in Management, a two-year, full-time program of core, advanced and specialized courses, seminars and electives with a total load of 120 ECTS credits. The master's program as a whole will equip students with the quantitative and qualitative methodological skills that will enable them to conduct high-quality empirical and theoretical research for publication in mainstream journals. After completion of their course work, students are required to pass an examination in their field of specialization and submit an empirical research paper showing great potential, both of which are prerequisites to enter the IESE doctoral program.
First Year – Pre – Term
This course covers the basics of vector and matrix algebra, with a focus on the application of linear algebra methods in Econometrics and Multivariate Statistics. Special attention is paid to how to bridge the gap between textbook formulas and the computer.
This Pre-course is designed to serve as an opener of what research is about. Its purpose is to help you not to lose track of what you're here for: becoming an independent researcher.
Introduction to logical reasoning: categorical statements, relations between categorical statements (independence, consistency, equivalence), arguments, syllogisms, propositional logic, truth tables, inference rules.
Prof. Josep Maria Rosanas Martí
This course is about research methodology, i.e., not about specific research methods, but about the conceptual foundations of what we can consider "scientific" and what should not be considered to be so. We will review some of the philosophical underpinnings of current practice, and discuss most of the basic issues on clinical, empirical and theoretical methods, their relative importance and how they are used in the world of management.
First Year – Term 1
This course emphasize on practical data analysis. It differs from other introductory courses in that multiple regression is covered and analysis of variance is restricted to one-way ANOVA. The Statistics course includes descriptive statistics, probability basics, and estimation and testing, covering the classical tests on group differences and regression coefficients.
Seminar of discussion of the classical authors in management. It consists of 10 double-sessions of 1h. 15m. (or a total of 2h 1/2 each double session), one every week. The essential objective of the course is to see what the evolution of management thought has been until around 1970, how to relate an author with another and the underlying logic of all this process.
This course covers the basics of differential and integral calculus, with an introduction to optimization methods. Familiarity with differential and integral calculus will provide a solid background for Probability and Mathematical Statistics, allowing the student to manage probability distributions and to understand how p-values are specifically obtained.
The goal of this course is to develop your economic intuition and to aid you in analyzing managerial decisions from an economic point of view. The tools that you will learn in this course will be useful for courses in industrial organization, finance, marketing, accounting and strategy that you may take at later stages in your Ph.D.
This course seeks to explore, first, the relationship between the emergence of 'modernity' and the invention of 'social science,' paying attention especially to Weber, Marx and Durkheim. These thinkers created some of social sciences most memorable and influential narratives. We will, second, explore several 20th century traditions of sociological thought, both in Europe and in the United States, which have shaped how we see our world today.
Prof. Carlos Rodríguez Lluesma
First Year – Term 2
This is a propaedeutic course on the philosophical study of human nature and action, that complements other scientific approaches to management. At the heart of management ‐both as science and practice‐ lies the human person, that through his or her actions ‐ in cooperation with other people and using resources efficiently‐ tries to achieve some valuable aims. Empirical sciences might not be sufficient for a full understanding of this reality.
The goal of this course is to develop your knowledge of applied econometrics and to put this knowledge into practice through examples and replication work. The tools that you will learn in this course will be useful to prepare you for conducting independent research in management.
This course is an introduction to the field of industrial organization. Industrial organization deals with the structure and performance of (imperfectly competitive) markets and the interaction between different players intervening in these markets such as firms, consumers and regulators or competition policy authorities. Among the particular subjects we will study are the determinants of market structure, the pricing decisions of firms, the strategic interactions among firms, and the effects of structure and conduct on price and non-price dimensions of market performance.
This seminar presents, discusses and evaluates contemporary developments in the field of organizational theory. Perspectives inherent in demography, environmentalism, networks, resource dependency and neo-institutional approaches are examined in detail. The conceptual challenges posed to existing theories by the emerging plurality of organizational forms is given special consideration. The seminar emphasizes non-economic approaches to organizational phenomena.
The approach will emphasize the theoretical foundations and econometric rigor of empirical work. The course series will cover the main research areas of empirical research in asset pricing, corporate finance, and financial reporting. This first part of the series will focus on corporate finance and banking.
This seminar aims to introduce Ph.D. students to the research in behavioral decision-making, exciting interdisciplinary field that builds on research psychology, economics, marketing and related disciplines, and has wide range of applications in the real business world.
First Year – Term 3
This is a hands on course intended to develop your knowledge of applied econometrics through the discussion of selected topics rela class in your own research.
This seminar combines the basic concepts of strategy, their application to practical cases, and the scientific foundations which serve to support these concepts. For this reason, cases, landmark research and other materials in the field of strategy serve as the basis for class discussion.
This doctoral seminar aims to provide an in-depth look at some of the major topics of interest in contemporary organizational behavior (OB), with a primary focus on individual and collective processes – such as the study of individuals and groups within an organizational context, and the study of internal processes and practices as they affect individuals and groups.
This course offers an introduction to established and emerging themes, knowledge, theory and research in the field of organizational behavior. One particular feature of this seminar is its multicultural focus. As human values and behaviors are very often culture-bound, we will also investigate certain cultural variations so as to reflect on the universality/particularity of organizational behavior across different cultures.
This course provides an introduction to quantitative methods for management research. It provides an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of different data and modeling traditions. It also covers prime challenges in model specification such as heterogeneity, multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity, endogeneity and aggregation. In our discussions, we will also devote attention to how to design research for academic and practice impact and to philosophy of science in general.
The course is an introduction to a few selected topics of finance at a PhD level. The objective is to equip students with tools to understand and do research in finance while discussing current policy developments as a result of the financial crisis. We shall revisit some of the classical concepts of financial economics, such as moral hazard and asymmetric information and how they impact corporate governance; introduce the role of information in financial markets; and conclude with a debate on banking and the financial crises. To achieve these objectives, we shall read and present recent papers in the area of finance, which use the following methods: mathematical modeling, empirical data and policy oriented tools. There will be also an emphasis on how finance is related to other areas of management such as corporate governance, control, strategic management and economics.
The Multivariate Analysis course is oriented to management science research. This course is mainly concerned with the analysis of multivariate data on individuals or firms. The objectives of the course are:
(a) To provide the student with some useful tools for his/her future research.
(b) To help the student to develop a way of thinking in quantitative terms.
(c) To provide the student with the basic concepts of factor analysis and structural equation modeling.
This course is intended for all doctoral students, regardless of substantive area or methodological orientation. The objective of the course is to develop your appreciation for qualitative research methods. The course takes a practical approach to this objective: the emphasis is on doing qualitative research — that is, reading it, evaluating it, learning the skills involved in conducting it, and applying these skills in the design, conduct, and write-up of a small-scale research study of your choice.
The overall aim of the class is to equip students with the knowledge and capacity to both conduct experimental research as well as interpret and critique others' experimental research. To achieve this aim, this class is divided into two main phases. In the first phase, students are designing an experiment related to their own research. In the second phase, students can decide between: a) revise and improve their experimental design, b) conduct their proposed experiment and present their results, or c) critique and interpret experiments from their classmates and/or that are already published in top management journals.
Second Year – Term 1
This seminar focuses on the contributions of the "New Economic Sociology". The past two decades have witnessed an almost radical transformation in the field of sociology's approach to the economy. Building on work by original authors in this area, the seminar deals sequentially with some of the most significant contributions to the "New Economic Sociology" field. It starts with basic concepts such as Institutions, networks, and organizations. The course, then, moves on to examine the key economic institutions: Markets, Firms and Business Groups. Finally, the third part emphasizes different aspects of state economies and economic transformations, as well as new themes emerging in the field from a sociological lens. The outcome of the seminar should be a short but innovative conceptual work closely based on the seminar's concepts.
This introductory doctoral course provides a broad overview of the key theoretical insights in organization theory, and how they have influenced research also in other management disciplines (operations, marketing, finance). By the end of the course the students will be able to frame a research question from a theoretical point of view, and develop original research ideas to advance scholarship in their field.
The purpose of this course is to study how to integrate ethics in business. The course includes conceptual bases in integrating ethics in business, ethics in decision-making and leadership, organizational ethics, ethics of the economic system, corporate social responsibility, and ethical issues in functional areas such as managing personnel, marketing, finances, operations and information technology.
Second Year – Term 2
They are specific seminars on different academic areas, which can vary every academic year. For example Frontiers and Methods of Entrepreneurship Research, Qualitative Research Methods II, Current Cultural Trends, Advanced Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources, Time Series Analysis, Advanced Strategy, Strategic CSR and Sustainability, etc.
The objective of this course is to present you with an overview of themes and topics that fall under the general heading of "research methods". In particular we will focus on tools and methodologies that are commonly used by researchers studying management and organizations.
Management scholars must make many choices when pursuing a research project. This holds for problems encountered in applied settings, as well as for theory generated problems. In the course of this class we will identify some of those problems, and discuss the costs and benefits of the various options available to management researchers. Our focus will be one of methods and analytical approach to concrete issues. This is not a cookbook tools course, though tools will be discussed. This is not a statistics course, though statistical concepts, problems and analyses are frequently considered.p>
Organizational Economics A is a non-technical introductory course to organizational economics. What a firm is, what characterizes a neoclassical firm in economics, what the new contributions of economics of organizations are with respect to the theory of the firm are the key questions developed in the course. The logic of markets, transaction cost economics, its effects on governance, bounded rationality, opportunism, incomplete contracts, vertical integration, rents and efficiency, property rights, employment and executive compensation, alternative approaches to decision making, are some of the topics discussed.
Second Year – Term 3
The student must successfully pass all the courses before he/she can take the Major Field Exam. The exam´s content includes topics relevant to the student´s field. However, the exam may include research design questions or questions related to the disciplines underlying his/her field of interest. The background knowledge required to answer these questions will probably be related with the core courses. Questions might include general evaluations of the field as well as questions about specific aspects of a particular paper.
The empirical paper will be developed during the second year, although it is advisable to start working on it from the end of the first year. The student will develop this paper under the guidance of a Faculty member by mutual agreement. The Faculty member's name should be communicated to the Assistant Program Director by June. It will be assessed by the faculty member who has supervised the student's work and the MRM liaison of the student's area of specialization who will grade the paper. They may provide comments aimed at improving the paper, in which case a final version incorporating those comments should be submitted by September and the revisions should be approved by the involved faculty members no later than September. Failure to meet this requirement will preclude enrollment into the Ph.D. Program, if the student had been admitted to it.
You will have the opportunity to attend electives and seminars organized by our faculty members. Enrolling in electives specific to your research, plus those that are complementary, will help give your studies a holistic and well-rounded perspective.
The following electives are scheduled for the upcoming year:
- Cross Cultural Research – Echo Liao
- Qualitative Reseach Methodologies – Robert Gregory
- Frontiers of Entrepreneurship – Christoph Zott
- Advanced Strategy – Bruno Cassiman
- Data Management – Miguel Angel Canela
- From Ethics to Social Innovation and Regeneration – Nino Vaccaro
- Advanced Organizational Behavior – Álvaro San Martín

National Pie Month
Cake..meh. Cookies...ok. But pie? Love it! I think this all traces back to my mother who makes the best -- bar none -- apple pie in the world. Our family doesn't even bother baking or eating anyone else's apple pie because we know it would pale in comparison. So, if like me, you are a Pie Person you might already know that February is National Pie Month. To celebrate I'm going to try a few new pie recipes.
If you're less a baker and more a taster you may want to stop by your local library. They're having a Deppen Pie Sale to benefit the libraries -- $10.50 for a 9 inch pie. You can choose from: apple crumb, blueberry crumb, strawberry/rhubarb crumb, peach crumb, raisin crumb, shoofly, coconut custard, lemon sponge, no sugar apple. Orders are being accepted at the following libraries until February 8 with pick up on February 21 at noon.

Dustin Lance Black (born June 10, 1974) is an American screenwriter, director, film and television producer, and LGBT rights activist. He has won a Writers Guild of America Award and an Academy Award for the 2008 film Milk.
Black is a founding board member of the American Foundation for Equal Rights[1] and writer of 8, a staged reenactment of the federal trial that led to a federal court's overturn of California's Proposition 8.[2]
Black was born in Sacramento, California[3] and grew up in a Mormon household,[4] in San Antonio, Texas, and later moved to Salinas, California, when his mother remarried.[5][6] His natural father had earlier been the Mormon missionary who had baptized Black's mother.[5][7]
Growing up surrounded by Mormon culture and military bases, Black worried about his sexuality. He told himself, "I'm going to hell. And if I ever admit it, I'll be hurt, and I'll be brought down" when he found himself attracted to a boy in his neighborhood at the age of six or seven.[5] He says that his "acute awareness" of his sexuality made him dark, shy and at times suicidal. He came out in his senior year of college.[5]
While attending North Salinas High School, Black began to work in theater at The Western Stage in Salinas-Monterey, California,[5] and later worked on productions including Bare at Hollywood's Hudson Main Stage Theater.[8] Black attended the University of California, Los Angeles, School of Theater, Film, and Television (UCLA) while apprenticing with stage directors, taking acting jobs and working on theater lighting crews.[9] He graduated with honors from UCLA's School of Theater, Film and Television in 1996.
In 2000, Black wrote and directed The Journey of Jared Price, a gay romance film, and Something Close to Heaven, a gay coming-of-age short film. In 2001, he directed and was a subject in the documentary On the Bus about a Nevada road trip and adventure at Burning Man taken by six gay men.[4] Raised as Mormon, he was hired as the only such writer on the HBO drama series Big Love about a polygamous family. He has written for all seasons, serving on season one as a staff writer, executive story editor in season two, and was promoted again, to co-producer, for season three.[7][9][10]
Black had first visited San Francisco in the early 1990s, while AIDS was devastating the city's gay community. Black said that, "Hearing about Harvey was about the only hopeful story there was at the time."[11] He had first viewed Rob Epstein's documentary The Times of Harvey Milk when he was in college, and thought, "I just want to do something with this, why hasn't someone done something with this?"[5] Researching Milk's life for three years,[9] Black met with Milk's former aides Cleve Jones and Anne Kronenberg, as well as former San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos,[11] and began to write a feature film screenplay encompassing the events of Milk's life.[5] The screenplay was written on spec,[12] but Black showed the script to Jones, who passed it on to his friend Gus Van Sant, who signed on to direct the feature.[11] Black is an old friend of Milk producer Dan Jinks, who signed on to the biopic after he called Black to congratulate him and discovered that the project did not have a confirmed producer.[13]
Black's film Pedro, profiling the life of AIDS activist and reality television personality Pedro Zamora, premiered at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival. Coming up, Paris Barclay is slated to direct his screenplay A Life Like Mine and Gus Van Sant is set to direct his film adaptation of Tom Wolfe's book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Black directed his own script Virginia, starring Jennifer Connelly.
On February 22, 2009, Black won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Milk at the 81st Academy Awards. He wore a White Knot to the ceremony as a symbol of solidarity with the marriage equality movement.[14]
On October 11, 2009, Black marched in the National Equality March and delivered a speech in front of the United States Capitol to an estimated crowd of 200,000 LGBT rights activists.
In 2010, Black narrated 8: The Mormon Proposition, a documentary about the involvement of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) in California's Proposition 8. Black accepted the award for best documentary for 8:The Mormon Proposition at the GLAAD Media awards in San Francisco and spoke out on discrimination in the LDS Church and meeting with the church to make it more LGBT-inclusive.[6][15]
Black wrote the screenplay for J. Edgar, a biographical drama released November 11, 2011, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.[16]
In 2011, Black wrote the play 8, which portrays the actual events in the Hollingsworth v. Perry trial and the testimony which led to the overturn of California's Proposition 8. He created the play in response to the federal court's refusal to allow release of video recordings from the trial and to give the public a true account of what transpired in the courtroom.[17] It is written and performed using original transcripts from the trial and journalist records, along with first-hand interviews of the people involved. "8" first opened at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York City on September 19, 2011, and later broadcast to a worldwide audience on YouTube from the Ebell of Los Angeles Theatre on March 3, 2012.[18][19]
The American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and Broadway Impact, sponsors of "8", have now released and licensed the play for readings nationwide on college campuses and in community theaters free of charge.[20][21][22][23]
Black appears as himself in the documentary film Hollywood to Dollywood (2012).
Black was the top entry on a list of openly gay influential people in The Advocate's "Forty under 40" issue of June/July 2009.[24] He was featured on the cover of the magazine. He was one of the Official Grand Marshals in the 2009 NYC LGBT Pride March, produced by Heritage of Pride joining Anne Kronenberg and Cleve Jones.[25]
On January 24, 2012, Black's brother Marcus died of cancer.[26][27]
Dustin is in a relationship with British Olympic diver Tom Daley. Following Daley's revelation in December 2013 that he was in a relationship with a man, it was publicly acknowledged in May 2014 that Black is Daley's partner.[28] The two now live together in London.[29]

I have a lengthy explanation for why I think you need to add the virtual property to most if not all of your methods. Bear with me, I'm a noob.
I've finally set up Ankh and I'm checking out the JigLibX code as an external. This is great and makes getting updates easier, but it means I've had to take a different approach to my own JigLib customizations.
eg. I added a TimeScale property to Body.cs to allow proximity-based time slowdowns. In all instances where float dt is provided as an argument, I begin by multiplying dt by TimeScale.
To preserve my changes, I've now created a class that extends body, but I'm forced to do this:
public void UpdateDeactivation(float dt)
dt *= TimeScale;
if ((transformRate.Velocity.LengthSquared() > sqVelocityActivityThreshold) ||
(transformRate.AngularVelocity.LengthSquared() > sqAngVelocityActivityThreshold))
inactiveTime = 0.0f;
inactiveTime += dt;
…instead of this:
public override void UpdateDeactivation(float dt)
dt *= TimeScale;
Some of the methods in Body are very long. I don't like replicating code that is going to change on me.
First question: am I doing it right? I'm not claiming to be an expert C# coder, so if you'd do it differently, please let me know.
Second question: it isn't working anyway. If I extend JigLibX.Physics.Body, my new object only reveals properties and methods that I overrode in the new class, none of the old ones. How would you do this? Should I just edit the source I checked out and do a merge every time it updates?

PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran dismissed as 'baseless' Friday, June 14 U.S. accusations that it carried out twin attacks that left two tankers ablaze in the Gulf of Oman, escalating tensions across the region and sending world oil prices soaring, AFP reports.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Washington would defend its forces and allies in the region, and the United States pressed its case as the UN Security Council met to address the incident -- the second in a month in the strategic shipping lane.
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted Friday that the US administration had 'immediately jumped to make allegations against Iran without a shred of factual or circumstantial evidence'.
He accused it of seeking to 'sabotage diplomacy' amid a visit to Iran by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and 'cover up its economic terrorism against Iran' in enforcing crippling unilateral sanctions.
With tensions spiralling between Iran and the United States, the European Union called for 'maximum restraint' and UN chief Antonio Guterres warned the world cannot afford a major confrontation in the Gulf.
Iran labelled the apparent attacks 'suspicious,' as its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rebuffed overtures by Abe to open talks with US President Donald Trump.
Pompeo said there was strong evidence of Iran';s culpability, after the US Navy said it had spotted an unexploded limpet mine stuck to the hull of one of the vessels.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) released a grainy black-and-white video it said showed an Iranian patrol boat 'removing the unexploded limpet mine' from the ship.
'It is the assessment of the United States that the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the attacks,' Pompeo announced.
'This is based on intelligence, the weapons used, the level of expertise needed to execute the operation, recent similar Iranian attacks on shipping, and the fact that no proxy group operating in the area has the resources and proficiency to act with such a high degree of sophistication,' he said.

"Katie's on the search for practical and feminine workwear for female farmers, in a sea of shapeless nylon overalls and clumpy steelies."
I have already touched upon this issue in an earlier tweet (@femalefarmeruk) but I feel that it touched a nerve with so many female farmers out there that it really deserved some world wide web attention. Now I know it is not a life or death situation but what a lack of female farming workwear does do, is make female farmers still feel slightly unwelcome in what is commonly known to be a male dominated industry. In 2017 are we really saying, yes women are welcome but you have to dress in male clothing if you want to take part! Maybe I have been watching too many 'Mad Men' episodes or maybe I am on to something here.
It also seems that it's not just female farmers that face this issue, it is an issue across the entire workwear industry! Mechanics, decorators, factory workers, doctors, plasterers, chefs – it is evident that there are women rolling up to work in clumpy, unforgiving, shape-less, often hideous workwear across the nation. In fact, I think I would be safe to say it is a global concern!
Does this woman really look impressed with her "workwear"? She's not even smiling. If anything she looks furious and she hasn't even had to buy male workwear and try to pull it off by ordering an 'XS'! I do like the enthusiasm with the hand on the hip however, top marks 'Zuomn' for making her womanly figure totally disappear in your grey nylon.
Now the image of a female farmer in many non-farming folks' minds is that of a busty blonde wearing a red check shirt tied under the bust, with daisy duke shorts, cowboy boots, maybe a straw hat and heck why wouldn't she be chewing on a head of wheat? A few images just for fun… ok then…
Well newsflash, that is totally unrealistic! Sorry, I know female farmer fantasies across the nation have been destroyed but really?! Bare legs amongst livestock, hair down when there's the chance of flying sheep crap, and there certainly are not enough pockets in those hot pants?! Now while I would love to look like just one of those women, I never will and farming may partly be to blame (although genetics, laziness and greed are probably the biggest culprits).
My daily farm 'get-up' is extremely weather dependent, I daren't use the word 'seasonal' as August has proven that in one month a heatwave, flood, thunderstorm and hailstorm can all make an appearance! Regardless of the British weather, I always have my hair scraped back, largely to remain faeces free, and if I am in with any heavy livestock my heavy, manly, extremely un-sexy steel toe capped boots regularly make an appearance. I will brave shorts in hot weather, though after stinging nettles, pig mouths, mosquitos, goat feet and barbed wire have all embraced my skin I often rather wish I hadn't. And dare I mention the dreaded sweaty welly rub around your calf!
My go to winter wear and typical look for Autumn-Winter 2016-17 were these rather dashing thermal coveralls made by 'No Bull' that I purchased from 'Mole Valley'. They are amazing and during the nightly cade lamb feeds were often worn 24-7, I recommend them to everyone and I will honestly shed a tear the day I have to trade these bad boys in for something new.
Practical – certainly, comfy – definitely, warm – ohhh yes! However, womanly, shapely, something you'd wear in front of anyone other than your mum – errrrr no!
I do also have a pair of Dickies Redhawk women coveralls that I purchased from Screwfix. I think they are quite possibly the only pair of specifically made women's overalls on the market, as nearly every female farmer I see has them and they are the only ones I have ever come across online. They actually fit really well, with a little nip in at the waist, they are pretty flattering (as flattering as overalls can be) and come in normal women's sizes – hooray! The only down side is they are a little thin, not waterproof and my gosh it is annoying when you need to pee. Stripping down to your undergarments in an outdoor toilet is certainly not for the faint hearted.
Now my ultimate favourite workwear staple are my trusty bibs and braces! Also known as 'bib 'n' braces' or 'work dungarees'. Though once again you will really struggle to find any made for women. Unless hot pink, slightly ghastly, flimsy versions from America tickle your fancy, you'll have to stick to a design made for men. Which is exactly what I did. Mine were nice and cheap at less than £20 each and I got them from Goldstar Workwear, who do a full range of male workwear for a really reasonable price. They even have a ladies and junior section but you won't find any farm appropriate attire there, it's just tunics and fleeces. Unfortunately they do nothing for your figure, are too big in pretty much every area and are not sold in sizes smaller than a 'S', which in women come up at around a size 12-14. They even have a fly-zip so men can avoid the stripping down to your drawers situation, previously mentioned, that us women can only dream about. Still I love them so and they are super hard-wearing, with enough pockets to fulfil any farmers requirements!
And this is where I experience an internal conflict, should workwear be womanly, should it make you feel sexy, or is it just there to be practical and serve a purpose?
Do men wear overalls and think yes this fits well and I feel manly in it or are they also wondering how workwear could be a little more desirable?
Am I asking too much? Surely with the increase of women working in the industry there is now, more than ever, a demand for practical, fashionable, dare I say it 'womanly' workwear? (Designers please take note – it doesn't have to be hot pink to be feminine!)
Have I possibly given away some multi-million pound idea for a niche in the market? Possibly, but I want, heck NEED, some better alternatives when shopping for farm appropriate clothing and denim hot pants are just not going to cut it!
Speak soon
