New sponsor for the Football League
The Football League and Sky Sports have agreed a new five-year partnership that includes extending their existing broadcasting agreement for a further three years until 2018.
The partnership will also see Sky Bet become title sponsor of The Football League and Sky Sports offer more exclusively live matches than ever before, an increase of 37 live games per season.
From 2015/2016, a total of 148 live games will be shown each season from the Sky Bet Football League, Capital One Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy. The partnership ensures that Sky Sports viewers can enjoy Football League coverage for another five years, including coverage of all 72 clubs from the three divisions.
The announcement, on the eve of Sky Sports' biggest ever season of football, is more good news for viewers who already enjoy unrivalled live football coverage.
From August 2015, Sky Sports will broadcast exclusively live each season: 112 matches from across the Sky Bet Football League. The Football League Play-Offs including all three Finals. 15 matches from the Capital One Cup including both legs of each semi-final and the final. The Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final and at least two matches from the preceding rounds.
Sky Sports will also broadcast highlights and clips of the Sky Bet Football League, Capital One Cup and Johnstone's Paint Trophy. The agreement encompasses television, broadband internet, video-on-demand and mobile services.
In announcing the new agreement, Football League Chairman, Greg Clarke said: "We place huge value on the commitment Sky has made to our competitions and our clubs over many seasons and we are delighted that they wish to extend our relationship in this way. Supporters will also welcome this news given the outstanding breadth of coverage delivered by Sky Sports.
"The Football League is focused on delivering financial sustainability to our member clubs and this agreement will help us achieve that aim. Already we are delivering careful management of costs through our Financial Fair Play regulations and now we can add increased revenues to our clubs. They will be delighted by this news and the financial certainty it brings for the next five years."
Barney Francis, Managing Director of Sky Sports, added: "This agreement offers Sky Sports viewers more matches, more choice and more drama from all 72 clubs across The Football League. Extending our Football League coverage until 2018 is excellent news for our viewers who have never enjoyed such a strong choice of live football coverage. We are proud of our partnership with The Football League and can look forward to even more drama and excitement from its competitions for another five seasons."
Sky's Football League coverage is screened live and in HD in home and on the move via mobile and tablet devices. This season it has launched FL72, a new live showcase for the best matches from the Football League. Presented by Simon Thomas, fixtures from the Championship and Leagues 1 and 2 will kick off in a regular slot at 12.15pm.
To celebrate Sky Sports' new line up of football, programmes from Sky Sports 1 will replace the regular programming on Sky 2 (on Sky and other pay TV services) and Pick TV (on Freeview and You View) on Saturday 17th August. The takeover means millions of home viewers can enjoy a live Premier League match, a Football League fixture, plus a host of other football shows at no cost.

Glossy 2
Faces, Magazines, Now
Previous exhibition
from Friday 25 November 2005 until Sunday 9 April 2006
Following the success of Glossy: Faces, Magazines, Now in 1999 the National Portrait Gallery again highlights the huge array of contemporary portraiture in the pages of magazines. Focussing on a group of photographers whose portfolios include celebrities, actors, models and public figures, Glossy 2 will examine the way magazines create a contemporary iconography and reflect the world in which we live.
Baz Luhrmann, 2005 Ingvar Kenne. © Ingvar Kenne
In the newsagent we are surrounded by magazines – confronted on all sides by faces and facades. Magazines represent a significant phenomenon of contemporary culture which deserves our scrutiny, and the exhibition is an examination of the way magazines create a contemporary iconography. This was the premise of the exhibition GLOSSY mounted by the National Portrait Gallery in 1999.
In GLOSSY 2 the photographs included have all been produced in our own century and the exhibition showcases the work of seven photographers – working in Australia, or Australians working overseas – who have contributed extensively to the world of magazines. The exhibition shares with its predecessor the idea that the prints displayed in the Gallery are a part of a process – a process whose endpoint is found in the pages of magazines.
The past five years have witnessed a significant shift from film to digital among professional photographers. There have been significant technical advances in magazine production, albeit none as revolutionary as the move to camera-ready typography that created a new freedom for magazine art directors in the late 1960s (which the National Portrait Gallery celebrated in the 2002 exhibition POL: portrait of a generation.) Despite the steady growth of the Internet, magazines and magazine culture show no signs of decline. Indeed glossy inserts with newspapers have become more elaborate; production values are higher and these inserts are now a regular source of opportunity for considered essays in portrait photography.
GLOSSY 2 has been selected to highlight the distinctive and individual approaches of the photographers. The exhibition displays something of the range of photographic portraiture to be found in contemporary magazines. While it is impossible to mount an exhibition which encompasses the complete range of attitudes found in magazine culture, it is possible to perceive some trends. The convergence between the worlds of portraiture, fashion, celebrity, notoriety and music, a matrix that has been a feature of magazines since the 1980s, continues to set the context of the work in this exhibition.
Photographers who work for magazines are often called upon to create images in very compressed timeframes. The demand to produce a searching portrait image, sometimes in as little as a few minutes, is a particular and constant pressure on the photographer. In such circumstances the possibilities of setting are often crucial in creating a successful portrait. Each of the photographers in GLOSSY 2 has developed a sure eye for setting. Invar Kenne, for example sets woodblock printmaker Cressida Campbell standing before the backdrop of the distressed wooden boards of a suburban house.
In his photograph of Keno Hernandez, Sahlan Hayes creates a characteristically umbrous work in which the spatial arrangements are highly complex, not easy to read at first glance. It is perhaps no accident that in this exhibition Hayes is represented with two photographs of painters, Charles Blackman and Jeffrey Smart. The painterly quality of his work is a reminder that the photographer's vision and the painter's vision, too, are in a constant state of convergence.
While photographers for magazines now prefer colour, the photographers included in this exhibition slide easily between colour and portraits conceived in black-and-white. While in general the 20th century will always be the century defined in black-and-white and the 21st century is being recorded in colour, the possibilities of strength and distillation inherent in the monochrome medium continue to be exploited by photographers such as Julian Kingma. It is impossible to imagine his moody portrait of Robert Dessaix with its mantilla of lachrymose branches, rendered in colour.
While much magazine photography aims at naturalism, there is an equally strong devotion to the constructed and the artificial. Ellen Dahl has paid tribute to the specific qualities of the natural light in Australia, yet in her work and in that of Daniela Federici there are few concessions to the world outside the studio. Both photographers revel in the flawless perfection of controlled studio lighting and in the almost impossibly pure complexions of their subjects. In their work, as in the work of Christopher Morris, the divide between fashion and portraiture is not easily found. There is another form of convergence between art and photography in operation, too, in the photographer's role of icon creation.
Portrait photographers whose work is included in magazines not only create, but confirm the public presence of their subjects. Many of the subjects included in GLOSSY 2 have been photographed many times; they are aware of what the camera can do and how to compose themselves for the lens. In an environment of controlled imagery it is the challenge of the photographer to dance with the subject to create an original view. A classic technique, used to great effect by Ben Baker, is to come in close and to bring the subject into an uncomfortable proximity – this technique to get behind the mask creates what is quite literally an "in your face" expression of the subjects' dominant places in the world. This is a particularly effective technique for a photographer whose subjects include some of the most powerful men and women in the United States - Rupert Murdoch and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani are two examples.
Photography for magazines shares with the genre in general a concern with the temporal world. All of the photographers in the exhibition deal with the passing of time in subtly different ways. Ingvar Kenne's portraits of Michael Chaney and Collette Dinnigan include multiple views, a kind of photographic Cubism. But for the most part the photographers accept the nature of the craft, to make the most of a tiny fractured moment of time in the lives of their subjects. The currency of magazines is short-lived; fame, celebrity, notoriety, popularity seldom last more than a generation. Yet it is through images, images created by artists whatever their medium, that the collective memory of our age is transmitted into the future.

'Riverdale' star K.J. Apa crashed car after 14-hour work day on set
By KATE FELDMAN

K.J. Apa reportedly crashed his car last week when he fell asleep at the wheel after a 14-hour day on the set of "Riverdale."
The 20-year-old actor, who plays Archie on the CW show, drove his rental car into a light pole while driving home after midnight, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Apa was taken to the local Vancouver hospital for observation but was discharged and returned to set the next day.
Cole Sprouse, who plays Jughead on "Riverdale," was supposed to be riding with Apa after shooting but backed out at the last minute.
"They're working these kids from morning until night," a source told the Hollywood Reporter.
"Someone's going to die."

Several members of the cast confronted producers after Apa's crash about the unsafe work conditions, according to Variety.
Warner Bros. will provide a taxi, driver or hotel room for anyone on the cast or crew upon request, the company said in a statement Thursday.
"We have a large cast of series regulars, and our actors do not work every day. On the day of the accident, K.J. worked 14.2 hours. The previous day he worked 2.5 hours, and the day before that he worked 7.7 hours. K.J. has repeatedly been informed about making production aware if he is tired or feels unsafe, and if so, either a ride or hotel room will be provided for him," the network said.
"The accident occurred last Thursday. Additionally, it is untrue that K.J. was taken to the hospital. He was treated by first responders on the scene and released by them. We also sent a doctor to his home later that same day for a follow-up to confirm his well-being."
"Riverdale" returns for its second season on Oct. 11.

Early Sales Figures Show CE As Tops In Black Friday Purchases
Alan Wolf and Steve Smith
More consumers bought CE this Thanksgiving weekend than last year, making it one of the most purchased categories during the Black Friday sales period.
According to early sales tabulations from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) and Caravan, 58 percent of Black Friday shoppers bought some type of consumer electronics product the day after Thanksgiving, second only to clothing.
In comparison, 54 percent of Americans purchased CE products during last year's Thanksgiving weekend, CEA said.
Topping the list of most popular CE devices were portable MP3 players, video game consoles and accessories, and computers, including notebooks and tablets, the survey showed.
CEA's findings were echoed by comparison shopping site PriceGrabber.com. Electronics, computers and cameras were the top three most popular Black Friday categories visited on the company's iPhone shopping app, followed by appliances and toys, and eight of the 10 most popular items for Black Friday were CE devices, according to PriceGrabber website data. Among the top five: Lenovo's G550 notebook, Apple's 16GB iPhone 4 in black, and Hewlett-Packard's Mini 110-1144NR netbook, the company reported.
Driving CE sales were deep price promotions that brought retails as low as $700 for a 50-inch, 1080p Panasonic plasma (with free shipping online, from Best Buy); $387 for a 42-inch, 720p Panasonic plasma (at Sixth Avenue Electronics); $298 for a 40-inch 1080p Westinghouse LCD-TV (Target); $198 for a 32-inch 720p Emerson LCD TV (at Walmart); and $179 for a 10.1-inch Acer netbook (at RadioShack).
Examined by category, PriceGrabber found the steepest Black Friday price drops in combo TVs (down 87 percent in average price); LCD monitors (down 36 percent); projection TVs (down 27 percent); laptop cases (down 19 percent); and cellphones (down 17 percent).
Local store managers confirmed the surveys' findings. At a Best Buy store in Holmdel, N.J., home theater and major appliances supervisor Adam Zwickler said doorbusters went fast, including a $189 Toshiba laptop, a Wii and Samsung TV bundle, and especially the 50-inch Panasonic plasma. "That was a big one," he said.
Major appliances drew "a lot more traffic than expected," Zwickler added, while warranties, HDMI cables, screen cleaners and other high-margin attachments, listed for Blue Shirts on accessory recommendation sheets, "flew out the store. Some customers asked for them, and for others it was an instant 'yes.'"
At a Costco in Long Island City, N.Y., TVs and home-theater products were the most popular CE purchases, general manager Jon Jovel said, while customers at a Sears store in Middletown, N.J., gravitated toward discounted laundry pairs, GPS devices and 13 TV doorbusters, reported Eleanor Marchese, assistant store manager for CE and majaps.
White-goods also sold well at a P.C. Richard & Son location in Manhattan, store manager Chris Peralise said, "Especially Samsung, which made its name in CE products and has carried it over to appliances."
TVs and electronics similarly led the early-bird charge at a Target location in Middletown, N.J., store leader Michael Wexler reported, with shoppers clamoring for Wii titles, Xbox consoles, Nikon cameras and sub-40-inch TVs.
At a Kmart store in Hazlet, N.J., gaming systems, including Xbox, Wii and Game Boy, were the No. 1 electronics item Black Friday morning, said department manager Shelly Goldizen. "Electronics are always hot," added store manager Jeffrey Holdren.
In contrast, 3D TV and iPad, both early Black Friday favorites, proved to be a mixed bag. Interest in 3D was "light," Best Buy's Zwickler said, and fewer iPads sold than anticipated. Sears' Marchese agreed that 3D drew little attention, although P.C. Richard's Peralise said the category has been garnering greater interest among customers.

One type of skin peel call a TCA peel can be effective in improving many skin conditions, including fine wrinkles, blotchy pigmentation, sun damage, dull weathered skin, freckling skin, shallow acne scars and even that brown mask of pregnancy line mature women get after childbirth. There are many different types of chemical peels, however this blog post covers the most common type of light and medium depth peels which use the chemical TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) to create the peel.
If you decided that you were interested in getting a TCA chemical peel, you would definitely need to have a consultation with a skin doctor who does peels (usually a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist). A medium TCA chemical peel is a serious undertaking and is totally different from the "lunch-time" peels that are walk in, walk out mild facial peels. A TCA peel should not be confused with a mild superficial glycolic acid peel or an at home salicylic chemical peel. They are totally different procedures and should not be confused with one another. Furthermore, if you are getting a real TCA peel I am not so sure that an esthetician or cosmetic skin care clinic would be the place to go to unless they had been doing TCA peels for years.
I also would not try a stronger chemical peel at home as I have seen the peel chemicals sold directly over the internet. Application of the chemical to the skin is really not all that complicated, but nonetheless I would be way too scared to do any kind of significant peel procedure to myself without an experience doctor and would not recommend trying this at home (no way). If the strength is not right you could heal poorly and it seems too risky. Besides which, chemical peels are not all that expensive anyways so it's worth the cost of getting it done by a pro.
I will go over the pricing for chemical peels in a following blog article but the skin peels cost can be $300-$500 dollars for a specific area of the face such as around the eyes or around the mouth, and in the ball bark of $1500 for the whole face. In Los Angeles, New York or Beverly Hills you could pay $3000 for a TCA face peel but in another part of the country like in the Mid West you could pay as little as $750 for the same exact procedure. Typical of most plastic surgery procedures, it really depends what part of the county you are in and how renowned the doctor you use is. The more famous and well known dermatologists and plastic surgeons can obviously charge more money for chemical peels.
You definitely need a good doctor for this as you don't want to mess up your skin. The doctor will examine your skin and discuss with you the potential benefits and risks of a TCA peel for you particular skin type and the skin condition you are trying to improve. He would do the peel on you only if you were a good candidate for a chemical peel. All though a peel can significantly improve the appearance of your skin, some problems are much deeper than others. Depending on how superficial or serious your skin issue is, you may need more than one peel over the years to achieve your best results.
You skin is a living organ and you have millions and millions of cells which turn over. Every single day thousands of cells die and fall off. They get replaced by new cells below. But as we age, this replacing unfortunately gets more random, haphazard and slowed down. Older women are unable to effectively shed skin flaws such as dark blotches from sun damage. The skin and complexion of a woman eventually looks more dull and lifeless.
The purpose and function of getting a skin peel then is to perform a controlled but forced shedding of several layers of damaged cells. What happens when this is accomplished is that you expose a new fresh layer of skin that has a smoother texture and more even color to it. Supposedly, the peel itself can stimulate new cells to have to grow which can thereby tighten the skin which in turn decreases wrinkling. Some natural beauty proponents despise chemical peels as they believe it damages the skin irreparably whereas proponents of the chemical peels believe that it promotes better skin. If really depends who you talk to as to whether they think a chemical peel or good for your skin or caustic for your skin.
TCA which stands for Trichloroacetic Acid is touted as a non-toxic chemical which has been used to perform skin peels for over 30 years. I am not sure what is meant by non-toxic but needless to say the tca peel is pretty serious and intense for the skin and not to be taken on for the faint hearted. Proponents of the chemical peel claim that a TCA peel can create a fresh natural appearing complexion while supposedly preserving the normal skin color. They are often referred to as "freshening peels". I personally think TCA peels can help but they are very serious and not without risk. For example, a longer than expected healing process and hyper-pigmentation (such as red and/or dark splotches) are just two of the most common complication of skin peels. In the next post we will go into common questions and answers, what to expect before and after, healing, complications and pricing of TCA peels.
TCA chemical peels (unlike milder glycolic acid, salicylic acid, microdermabrasion) are serious undertakings but can revitalize your skin effectively. Healing: patience and humor!


I hung onto the giant parasol to stop it flipping over and Mum made sure the fruits of our 12 hour stint in the kitchen were all safely under cover as the rain lashed down and gale force winds swept through the Covent Garden piazza. Bottles from one stall came crashing down and talk of closing the market had us panicking about what we'd do with all the stock. Then, as if nothing had happened, the wind dropped, rain stopped and the sun came out to dry our red and white bunting and bring out the punters.
All in a day's work for a market stall trader... But we are no ordinary stall holders. No siree! Don't get me wrong, me and mum both have plenty experience of baking for the masses and mum has done a million and one 'big cake sales' for charity, but nothing of quite this magnitude. A stall in the local church hall is one thing. A full day selling our homemade cakes, tarts and jams at Covent Garden is another. I guess what we were out to achieve was that (usually uncoveted) 'one hit wonder' status (OK, maybe we had some idyllic pipe dream that this could be a rosy future...!). For us, this was a couple of days off from our day jobs to do what we love best - cook - to sell the fruits of our hard work and, in the process, learn about the 'selling side', have some fun and meet a few people.
Not long after I started blogging I joined the UK Food Bloggers Association (UKFBA) - a place for UK food bloggers to connect with each other. Sometime in the Spring when Julia Parsons, who founded UKFBA, first mentioned the UKFBA stall on Covent Garden Real Food Market there was talk of nominating our favourite producers to man the stall every Thursday throughout the summer. This was soon given short shrift as my fellow food bloggers came forward with plans to sell their own homemade wares - lavender & honey bread, chutney, lemon curd, tamarind ketchup, keema lollipops, carrot cake, Irish soda bread, jams, muffins in all shapes and sizes, tarts, quiches and brownies galore!
I have to admit that I hesitated to sign up. Much as I liked the idea, I work full time - how would I find time, could I do all that on my own and (above all) who would calculate the amount of change due (not me, that's for sure...!). It was only when I mentioned it in passing to Mum when we were cooking up a feast for Dad's 60th in May that the idea of taking the stall one Thursday became reality. As many of the other bloggers who have done a stint on the stall will undoubtedly agree, it's so much easier with two!
The Covent Garden Real Food Market is a weekly market that runs every Thursday through the summer. For the most part, the stall holders seem to have stalls on other markets in London, like Borough Market. There's a nice feel to the market which I am sure would be much livelier on a sunny Summer's day... In fact when I popped down to see Rejina (Gastrogeek) and Signe (Scandilicious) a couple of weeks' ago the sun was shining and people were swarming around the market. What a difference a touch of sunshine (and two charming and beautiful bloggers-come-market-traders) can make!
The best part of it all for me was the full day spent cooking away at our own pace in my kitchen, preparing the lemon drizzle cakes, carrot cakes with cream cheese topping, blueberry and almond tart, leek and gruyere tartlets, redcurrant jelly, peach and amaretto muffins, pecan tarts, stem ginger biscuits, lemon curd, tomato and goat's cheese puff pastry tart, white chocolate and raspberry muffins, traditional all butter shortbread, apricot and vanilla jam and our best sellers...chocolate brownies.
The big day itself was undoubtedly hard work. The rush to set up and get everything laid out and labelled up got the adrenaline going though and that saw us through the best part of the afternoon and helped us weather the storms. It was great to meet all the wonderful people who popped down to say hello and the compliments, including the one from the lovely American woman who came back especially to tell us that our carrot cake was the best carrot cake she had ever eaten (and, she assured us, she had eaten a lot!), made us feel pretty good. But as the day drew to a close and the temperature dropped we were certainly ready to sit down, have a beer and reflect on an intense couple of days' work (oh, and flog a few more jars of jam in the pub and then at our post-market dinner at Ganapati in Peckham!).
I did say never again when my feet where aching the next day....but I can just see our lovely homemade mincemeat, jams, gingerbread and Christmas puddings going down a treat on the Christmas Real Food Market!
I found myself with one such little tub full of egg whites last weekend after our bake-a-thon for the UKFBA stall. Determined not to waste them I called Mum (who needs recipe books when your mum is but a telephone call away...). Her advice was 2oz caster sugar for each egg white, a capful of white wine vinegar, a tea spoon of cornflour (which I didn't have), beat the egg whites until stiff and then beat in the sugar a spoonful at a time until glossy. Armed with these pearls of wisdom I set to work making plain meringues and (inspired by my recently purchased Ottolenghi cook book) some blackberry swirl meringues to use up some blackberries which were lurking in the back of the fridge.
When I posted my photos on flickr last week, @goodshoeday who writes the blog With Knife and Fork asked me what the secret to good meringues was. Like me, she'd never managed to make perfect meringues like you see piled high in Ottolenghis. Jubilant from my recent success I promised to blog about them. I'm not saying they will be just as good next time. But for once, I made meringues I could be proud of so here's what I did. Let me know if they work for you!
Set your oven on low - around 100C (I set my fan oven at 90C).
Unless you're Popeye after a good dose of spinach, the best way to make meringues is with an electric hand whisk or the balloon whisk on your mixer. Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Then, with the mixer still running, add the sugar a spoonful at a time, making sure it's fully mixed before adding the next spoonful. Eventually the egg and sugar mixture will turn thick and glossy. Add the white wine vinegar and the cornflour and mix thoroughly.
Grease and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Put big serving spoonfuls of the meringue mixture on the baking sheet and bake for at least 1 and 1/2 hours, until the meringue is crispy and cooked through.
Make some blackberry coulis by blitzing a handful of blackberries with a tablespoon of caster sugar. Pass the coulis through a fine sieve to remove the seeds.
Take half of the meringue mixture above and add a large spoonful of the blackberry coulis. Don't stir it in or you'll just end up with purple meringues! You only need to give the mixture one stir with the spoon so that the meringue mixture has that 'raspberry ripple ice cream' effect.
Cook in the same way as the plain meringues, although they may need a little longer because of the extra liquid.
We ate the leftover meringues in a blackberry eton mess - whipped double cream, broken up meringue, leftover blackberry coulis and fresh blackberries. It's not a pretty dessert but it tastes damn fine!
Alas, we were pipped at the post in the Viewers' Choice Award by the lovely Helen and Lizzie - the Go Go Gin Girls. Huge congratulations to them!
Combine the shortbread ingredients until the just come together. Roll out to 1/2cm thickness and cut into rounds using a 8cm straight edged cutter. Carefully lift the rounds onto a greased baking sheet using a palette knife. Bake at 180C for approximately 15 minutes until they are a pale golden brown. Leave to cool on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Mix the cream cheese, lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice and sugar. Whip the double cream and stir it into the cream cheese mixture. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Make the raspberry coulis by blending the raspberries and sugar together using a stick blender and then pass the puree through a fine seive to leave a smooth coulis. Put to one side and prepare your summer berries - leave the raspberries whole and slice the strawberries.
To build the dessert put a tiny blob of the cream cheese mixture in the centre of each plate and place a shortbread round on top. Then add a good tablespoonful of the cream cheese mixture, some summer berries and a teaspoon of the coulis. Repeat with another shortbread round, cream cheese mixture and summer berries. Finish with a swirl of raspberry coulis around the plate.
It's a lovely dessert for a summer's evening with friends because you can make each element in advance (even the day before) and then just layer up the desserts at the last minute. Enjoy!


Today's video games are becoming more and more focused on multiplayer. FPS's have been the genre to experience this the most. When I got my chance to try THQ's Homefront, I was completely shocked at how little detail went into the campaign. I enjoyed the story because it was unique and hit home with me. However, it only lasted for 5-6 hours. Is that what publishers and developers think their fans want, a short offering that doesn't even scratch the surface of the deep end? That's not what I want. I would have liked to have seen a healthier and longer campaign that gave vivid descriptions about the story. What if I didn't have an internet connection? The game would have given me next to nothing for the money that was poured into it.
Unless I'm getting the game used, it's going to be right around $60 for any "newish" title. Here at Empty Wallet Gamer, we strive to find games that give us the most for our money. How is such a short campaign anywhere near that amount of cash? It isn't, plain and simple. Homefront had a lot of hype, and it isn't taking anything away from what the multiplayer has to offer, but now I'm going to think twice before giving THQ titles a shot. We tend to see this sort of thing somewhat often in FPS games, but even action games are becoming online oriented.
When I was working through Assassin's Creed Brotherhood I had so much to do within the game that the main story missions often got pushed aside for the secondary memories. Brotherhood had so much to offer and, in my opinion, is the best AC game yet. It was also the first game in the series to offer a multiplayer option. Rather than be a main part of the attraction, the online component was merely a bonus mode that gave you a nice option to go to after the main quest had been completed. With Revelations, the story mode took a backseat to the multiplayer aspect. Sure, it concluded Ezio and Altair's tales, as well as some background on Desmond's life, but it wasn't nearly the time sink that Brotherhood was. When I'm playing against other players online I like to either shoot them in the face or crush them into the boards and score goals, not hide in a bale of hay and wait for them to come around the corner so I can act like a "Sneaky Snake" and kill them. I don't know why Ubisoft deems it necessary to have to put so much effort in a multiplayer mode that gamers don't enjoy as much as the main story.
Is anyone crying "foul" over Rocksteady deciding not to have multiplayer in Arkham City? Hell no, and anyone would be fool to do so. Would it be cool? Perhaps; but it's not worth the risk of taking away from the outstanding single player mode. AC II didn't need any sort of multiplayer to be successful. Occasionally you'll find a game that balances its single player campaign and its multiplayer. Uncharted 2 and 3 are great examples of this, as the story modes blow you away in high detail, and playing online doesn't seem like a step back, or like it's taking too much away from the single player game. If only all games could be as successful as Uncharted… if only. Then again it would be hard to critique games if that were the case.
A new theme that occurs every so often are games that let online players work together to complete the main story (squad based shooters). Titles like Brink and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City are exactly these. While it does seem like a good idea, it usually doesn't pan out too well for games (neither one of those were rated very high by critics). It again speaks to how publishers and developers are pushing for more multiplayer in games. Now we're supposed to play the regular campaign online, rather than have it separated from the regular multiplayer mode? That's not going to fly with me. As far as platformers go, Rayman Origins is a great game, but is missing the online co-op. If there was ever a genre that could use the online co-op it'd be platformers.
When it comes to a FPS title we expect there to be a very good multiplayer option. It's a huge part of the game and should always be. But that doesn't mean FPS's should lose their sensibility when it comes to campaigns. For the most part, games need multiplayer options. Whether it be a shooter, or a puzzler, or racing, etc, people enjoy playing games together. However, there needs to be a point where games don't lose their meaning when it comes to the single player offering. I got so much more out of Red Dead Redemption than Homefront, so why would I pony up the same amount of money for both titles? I'd prefer Assassin's Creed III to be more like Red Dead than Homefront any day. Games need to be able to stand on their own, and not be Co-Dependent.
To some of the Empty Wallet Gamer crew, we want better single player experiences. Should a game have a better single player campaign and spend less time on multiplayer components?


Today my Power Tool Challenge Team gals are sharing projects and this time it's a Holiday Edition. We each made a gift for another team member but we only know the recipient of the gift that we made. I made a DIY Cheese and Crackers Serving Board that will be useful for the holidays and also for entertaining any time of the year.
I'm so excited to see what each gal made this month and am extra excited to know that one of the projects shared will be sent to me!
What makes this Cheese and Cracker Serving Board special is the groove that holds the crackers in place. With this server there's no need for a separate basket to hold the crackers, the groove keeps them in place around the cheese ball.
Affiliate links are included. Any purchase that you make gives me a small commission at no additional cost to you.
Poplar Board – I used a 1" x 6" x 8' with wood leftover for future projects.
Circle Cutting Jig – This is so useful! I also used it for DIY Clocks that I made.
Sliding Compound Miter Saw or Circular Saw – Our Sliding Compound Miter Saw is always out and read to be used so I used it. A regular hand held saw could be used as well.
Tung Oil – I used this product.
Since the true width of a 1" x 6" x 8' board is 5 1/2" inches, I decided to piece two sections together to make the cheese board 11 inches square.
I started by cutting two pieces of the board to about 11 1/2". I made them a bit longer knowing that I would square it up after joining the two pieces together.
To join the two boards together, I used our biscuit joiner. The first step for using this tool is to make marks on both boards for where the biscuit will go.
These are the slots in the wood that the biscuit joiner makes. Four biscuits are pictured because I actually made two cheese boards. I wanted one for myself!
Apply Glue to the edges of the board.
Insert the biscuits and press the two boards together. Use pipe clamps to keep everything square and to hold the boards in place until the glue dries.
Here you can see the pipe clamps in action.
Don't think that your power tools have to be brand new. I use the table saw that I inherited from my granddad. This beast is probably at least 60 years old and it still works like a champ.
A circle cutting jig made for a router was essential for making the groove for the crackers.
Using this jig requires that a hole be drilled in the center of the cheese board. I later filled this with wood filler.
Insert a 1/2" straight router bit into the router set at 1/4" depth.
Use the circle cutting jig to cut a circle into the wood.
Switch to the roundnose bit with the intention of rounding the edges of the square channel that was just cut.
I moved the center pin of the circle cutting jig out 3/8" from the radius of the initial routed channel. That is 1/2 the diameter of the roundnose bit. This created the outer rounded edge of the circular groove. Once that was completed, the center pin of the circle cutting jig was moved in from the initial routed channel radius. This created the inner rounded edge of the circular groove. The end result of the 3 routed circular cuts is shown below.
Fill the hole in the board with wood filler and let dry. Use a random orbital sander to sand the board. Wrap a small piece of 220 grit sandpaper around a finger to hand sand the groove.
Since the cheese board is the be used with food, I needed to finish it with a food-safe product. Tung Oil from The Real Milk Paint Co. worked like a champ. I applied several coats, adding Tung Oil until the wood would no longer absorb the product for each application.
I am thrilled with the end result of this project. I'm sure to use my DIY Cheese and Crackers Serving Board multiple times over the holidays and I hope that the person who receives her serving board will like it as much as I do.
Tung Oil didn't darken the wood but I love how it brought out the wood grain.
I intended to make a cheese ball to use for this post but ran out of time and purchased one from Kroger. It was super yummy and I'm glad that I didn't go to the trouble to make one.
Now enjoy the projects that my friends made this month. Which would you like to receive as a gift?
This is such a cool idea!! I love it! You are killing it with these woodworking projects! I love seeing them!
This is so creative! LOVE your router my friend! I have no doubt someone will be loving this gift when it shows up on their doorstep soon:) Pinned!
Paula, oh could I use one of these awesome cheese and cracker boards – LOVE! I have my finger's behind my back right now hoping that it may be en route to Canada.
This is awesome Paula! I hope I'm the lucky recipient. I need to use my router more often. Pinned!
This has to be one of my favorites! I love it! I want it! Awesome job Paula!
That is such a good idea, Christy! I never would have thought to put cucumber slices in the grooves. We have our school Christmas party on Thursday and I just might make a veggie try just as you described to share.
That is such a great idea! Thanks for sharing this with us at the DI & DI Link party. Hope you had fun, and have a great weekend!

Discover heritage
From the Cape to the Bluff, the heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand is waiting to be discovered.
Our heritage places are some of the most important and fascinating in the country's history, including the birthplace of the famous Ka Mate Haka at Opotaka, the location of the largest signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi at Māngungu Mission, sites of industry and innovation at Te Waimate, Hayes Engineering, Totara Estate and Clarks Mill, and sites telling stories of extraordinary women, such as Kate Sheppard House, Clendon House and Pencarrow Lighthouse.
What are you waiting for? It's yours to explore.
Te Tai Tokerau | Northland
Clendon House
Dating from the early 1860s, Clendon House reflects James' standing in the community. But it's the story of the impressive Jane Clendon, of Hokianga Māori and Irish descent, that the handsome kauri dwelling best tells.
Kerikeri Mission Station
Established in 1819 by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in the shadow of Kororipo Pā, this was a junction of early Māori-Pakeha contact, a hotbed of CMS intrigue and politics, and a key site during two decades of rapid-fire societal change leading up to the signing of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Māngungu Mission
Māngungu Mission sits in a soulful spot on the Hokianga Harbour. It was the site of the largest ever signing of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi), on February 12, 1840.
Pompallier Mission and Printery
From 1839, Pompallier Mission and Printery in Kororāreka/Russell was the hub of the Catholic mission in the country, its ground-floor printery producing prayer books in te reo Māori (Māori language) by the hundreds.
Te Waimate Mission
Aotearoa New Zealand's second oldest building, Te Waimate Mission, preserves missionary, farming and architectural history, as well as stories of important early relationships between Māori and Pākehā.
Tāmaki Makaurau | Auckland
Nestled in the Mt Albert suburb of Aotearoa New Zealand's largest city, Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland, Alberton showcases a majestic colonial property and the lives of the Kerr Taylor family that made it a much-loved and admired home.
Ewelme Cottage
The kauri-constructed Ewelme Cottage has a link with the Anglican community in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland, the dwelling designed and built by the Reverend Vicesimus Lush (1817-1882) and his wife Blanche in 1863-64.
Highwic
Perched above Newmarket's bustling commercial strip, Highwic is the legacy of early colonial Alfred Buckland. A businessman, farmer and father of 21 children, Buckland made a lasting contribution to provincial Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland during the 19th century.
Te puku o te ika a Māui | Central North Island
Hurworth Cottage
Built in 1855-56 by pioneer settler and future four-time Premier of Aotearoa New Zealand, Sir Harry Atkinson, Hurworth Cottgae is the only remaining building of Hurworth settlement that flourished during the 1850s.
Opotaka
Opotaka is a historical Māori kāinga (settlement) where you can learn about the history of the famous Ka Mate Haka, see the remains of the settlement, and enjoy stunning views across Lake Rotoaira to Mt Tongariro.
Thames School of Mines
Fascinating Māori, industrial, education and geological history converge at one of Aotearoa New Zealand's largest and best-preserved mining schools in the heart of the Hauraki gold fields.
Te Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington
In the heart of Te-Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington is Antrim House, a prominent landmark in what was once a predominantly residential central city street. Its historic significance arises from its origins as the home of successful businessman and founder of Hannah's shoes, Robert Hannah, his wife Hannah and their family.
In its heyday Aotearoa New Zealand's largest and grandest wooden building housed our entire public service. Old Government Buildings is an outstanding example of the country's architectural heritage and one of the great wooden buildings of the world.
Old St Paul's
Be embraced by the beauty of this gorgeous wooden cathedral – still sacred, welcoming to all, and a tranquil sanctuary in the heart of the bustling capital.
Pencarrow Lighthouse
At the storm-lashed entrance to Wellington Harbour, Aotearoa New Zealand's first lighthouse tells stories of early settlement, shipwreck, and one very strong woman.
Upper Hutt Blockhouse
Discover the mystery behind one of Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington's remaining buildings associated with the New Zealand Wars.
Te raki o te Moana Pounamu | Upper South Island
Fyffe House
In a stunning seaside setting, Fyffe House is Kaikōura's oldest surviving building and the last remnant of a pioneer whaling station established in 1842 with a rich history that is centuries deep, dating from the arrival of tangata whenua.
Te Whare Waiutuutu
Kate Sheppard House
Discover the story behind the celebrated leader of the Aotearoa New Zealand women's suffrage movement, Kate Sheppard.
Lyttelton Timeball
Visual signals were important features of any port, necessary for communication between ship and shore, in pre-radio times. The Timeball Station sustained devasting damage during the Canterbury earthquakes, with only the tower remaining.
Ōtākou | Otago
Clarks Mill
An important industrial landmark in beautiful North Otago, this historic flour mill houses fascinating working machinery inside striking stone and timber buildings.
Hayes Engineering Works and Homestead
Marvel at the workshop and homestead of Ernest and Hannah Hayes, 19th-century pioneers whose resourcefulness, skill and determination define the spirit of Kiwi ingenuity.
Matanaka
Aotearoa New Zealand's oldest surviving European farm buildings are set in an exposed paddock high above the Ōtākou, Otago coast, five reddish-brown pitsawn timber structures stark against a slate-grey sea.
Ophir Post Office
A small but significant legacy from the Central Otago gold rushes, this handsome post office is just one gem in a town full of architectural treasures.
Totara Estate
A historic farm situated in beautiful North Otago countryside, Totara Estate played a significant role in the making of Aotearoa New Zealand as we know it today.

The holiday season is officially in full swing, and unless you live in a hole, you are very aware of how quickly December 25 is approaching. Holiday advertisements invade every aspect of our lives, from print ads, commercials, and even side-bar advertisements on Facebook. It can be a joyous time of year, but it can also be a stressful one. The credit card bills are piling up, and the stack of presents under the tree serve as a daily reminder to pay them. Between your generous giving spirit and budget, things aren't adding up as you had hoped. While December is a great time to get into the spirit of giving, it is also a great time to cash in on some of your most valuable assets.
If you woke up this morning with the thought, "I want to sell my car today," but dismissed it as an over-complicated process, we can help. In today's consumer marketplace, there are countless ways to sell your vehicle. In an effort to stifle some of that confusion, we have broken down the car selling process in two simple categories: Selling to a dealership, and selling online.
A simple Google search will reveal that your initial car-selling confusion was justified. Hundreds of pages of links serve only to confuse the process further, so we ask you to very slowly, back away from your computer.
Okay, now that that's settled, let's dive into the complicated world of selling your vehicle online. There are a lot of different outlets on the world wide web that promise consumer confidence, the best price for your used car, and more. Some of these sound too good to be true, and that is probably because they are. Some third party websites exist to gather information, and sell it to other companies that will benefit from your business. While they are reputable to a point, their user agreement will no doubt reveal their moral compass needs repositioning.
The second way you can sell your car online, is to use an online marketplace, such as Craigslist or Ebay. Essentially, this is the same basic process of sticking a "For Sale" sign on your front dash and parking your car in the Walmart parking lot for a week, but on steroids. With the use of these websites to sell your car, you are sure to get a lot more people who can view your vehicle if they are interested in purchasing it, but you will also leave yourself vulnerable to scam artists. Don't get us wrong, a lot of people have successfully bought and sold their vehicles on these websites without a problem. The dreaded scammers you hear about in the news are certainly the exception, and not the rule. However, there are enough victims out there that it is important to at least heed their warning, and learn from their experience.
The differences between selling your vehicle online, and selling to a dealership, are night and day. When you walk into a dealership with the intent to sell, or trade in your vehicle, you are afforded the promise of a secure transaction. The dealership you are selling your car to is an actual registered business. Unless they are operating out of a tent on the side of the road, you will know for certain that they will be there if issues arise in the future.
If you are looking to sell your vehicle for cash, be sure to check with the individual dealership on their policy for buying used cars. While McCluskey Automotive will purchase your used car for cash, other dealerships will only make a deal if you plan to purchase a new vehicle from their lot.
Online or Dealership? Which One is Best?
If you woke up this morning with the intent to sell your car today, then a dealership may be the right choice for your situation. The process of selling a car online can be a long one, with no guarantee of a sale in the immediate future. The likelihood of someone purchasing your vehicle the same day you post it for sale online, is nearly nonexistent. Before you know it, Christmas is over, and the presents are no longer under your tree – but that credit card bill is still waiting in your mailbox. If you are selling your car for immediate cash, finding a reputable dealership that will buy your car the same day, like McCluskey Automotive, is imperative.
Many consumers note that when they sell to a private individual, rather than to a dealership, they are given more money for their vehicle. Online websites like Kelley Blue Book confirm this fact, by offering an online estimate of your vehicle. By choosing the option to sell privately (online), you will notice that your vehicle has a higher estimate than if you choose the option to sell to a dealership. The cut in your vehicle's estimate comes from the convenience and confidence you receive when you sell to a dealership. Rather than waiting months for someone to buy your car online, when you sell to a dealer you are paid in cash the same day, and the dealership gets to play the waiting game instead.
If you want the most amount of money for your car, then selling to a private individual online might make the most sense for you. But remember, you will be waiting an indefinite amount of time, and may not actually get what you want for the vehicle when all is said and done.
One of the best benefits of selling your car to a dealership, is that YOU are in charge. Rather than waiting for a person to "like" your car enough to buy it, you are able to explore different dealerships until you find one that you are comfortable selling your car to. The dealership is then tasked with finding a buyer, while you leave the lot with cash in hand.
At McCluskey Automotive, we offer cash money for your car, the same day you bring it in to us. We utilize an online vehicle estimation tool, that is backed by Autotrader. Once you get your online quote, simply bring it into our dealership, and if your vehicle is as you described it, we will give you cash on the spot. If you are looking to trade-in your vehicle with McCluskey, your online quote can also be used in that situation.
We think that the convenience of selling your car to McCluskey far outweighs the small amount of money you might get by selling your vehicle online. If you are still set on selling your car privately, then be sure to research the website you choose to list it with. Take precautions when meeting with potential buyers, and never wire anyone money – under any circumstance.
To us, it is clear that the benefits of selling to a reputable dealership far outweigh those of selling your vehicle online. McCluskey's easy to use online tool gives sellers confidence, and peace of mind when they make the decision to sell their vehicle. With the promise of cash in hand today, why would you want to go through the hassle of selling anywhere else?

Reversible monocular cataract simulating Amaurosis fugax
R. P. Paylor, J. B. Selhorst, Robert S Weinberg
In a patient having brittle, juvenile-onset diabetes, transient monocular visual loss occurred repeatedly whenever there were wide fluctuations in serum glucose. Amaurosis fungax was suspected. The visual loss differed, however, in that it persisted over a period of hours to several days. Direct observation eventually revealed that the relatively sudden change in vision of one eye was associated with opacification of the lens and was not accompanied by an afferent pupillary defect. Presumably, a hyperosmotic gradient had developed with the accumulation of glucose and sorbitol within the lens. Water was drawn inward, altering the composition of the lens fibers and thereby lowering the refractive index, forming a reversible cataract. Hypoglycemia is also hypothesized to have played a role in the formation of a higher osmotic gradient.

I always say prayer for your leader and people. What Imam Khomeini has done in his country and through vast regions of the World should be viewed with deep vision and respect.
Imam Khomeini was father of the oppressed people of the world. Loosing him is great loss and grief for all the oppressed ones around the world.
Imam Khomeini was a great spiritual leader , a great personality and great political and religious leaser. Iran gained victory over the world superpowers because of strong faith of people in God and leadership of Imam Khomeini.
I am a Christian orthodox. Imam Khomeini rendered a great service for attracting and inviting the government of former Soviet. He has now left for heavens and traveled to heavens as he paid his historical shares in favor of all believers.
Today, all oppressed ones, all freemen of the World are sad in mourning of Imam Khomeini. Imam was unprecedented and matchless among all leaders and freemen of the world.
As a revolutionary Christian in Latin America I declare that it is difficult for all of us to bear such a grief. God may bless us with success in following the path of Imam Khomeini.
A great deal of patience and calm was seen in Imam Personality during the Revolution victory and the following years. Imam protected this state of calm even during very bitter events over the course of years. Some misinterpreted this state as cold and unemotional. This is while the people from his close circle knew very well that Imam was suffering a great deal of grief due to people's problems and troubles.
The calm that was exercised by Imam that he had made himself deeply engaged himself in spiritual thought and worship. But at the same time he took unprecedented long-range and deep political decision. The whole life of Imam was manifestation of action and sacrifice. He deeply engaged himself busy with the divine esteem.
Imam Khomeini revived Islam through his guidance and victory of the Islamic Revolution. He changed direction of history in the 20th century. Although Imam Khomeini was not a divine prophet or the infallible, yet the services he rendered for the supremacy of Islam were identical to those done by those divine personalities.
We were really looking for such a personality and he was really the leader of the all Muslim world.
Imam Khomeini as the leader of an Islamic society upraised for the sake of spiritual values. He also gained the freedom through spiritual values for his nation and prevented them from falling into ditches. Imam led a change and revolution in Iran in its real sense which echoed a return a return of a nation to its cultural and spiritual principals, and it was a real awakening.


Yesterday we left Los Angeles on our first stage of our move to Boulder. Our cat, xochi, sat between Rita and i while we drove mile after mile from the city that was our home for over seven years. my mind kept telling me that my new home is in Boulder yet my inner knowing told me that my true home is right here, right now, and everywhere that i can imagine myself. This journey to Colorado is demonstrating that there is nothing to do – nowhere to go.
if i look back to February when, as Rita likes to put it, "lighting struck ed" i can see so clearly how i was convinced that there was something to "do" and "somewhere to go" to make the most of the grace that had descended upon me last February. While all my mentors urged me, at the time, to let go i can see now why i couldn't; my true self hadn't awakened enough to itself.
Choosing to put my attention on the perceiver of everything rather than the perception has allowed me to welcome more of my true nature into my mechanics of perception. When this happens i sense my true nature as who i am and i'm no longer attached or identified with the object of perception.
The perception of our true self is a vast perception of everything and everywhere. You sense and know and feel (though not through the body) that you are not in the world but that the world is… in you.
In that moment i lost the sense of loss of LA, i lost the identification with my new destination, i simply knew in that moment where my true home exists. i also knew that nothing could disturb that reality!
Now that's not to say that i'm not excited to be in Boulder, to experience more quiet, to smell the changing of the seasons, and to enjoy the mountain life. It will be wonderful.

I have a bad habit of reading too many books at once, which is distracting. But I've spent years trying to break the habit -- to concentrate on a single book at a time -- and I just can't do it. There's a sense of satisfaction I get when my nightstand has a variety of books on it in order to fit whatever mood I'm in. I recognize that this mixing of readings serves to slow down the rate at which I finish any given book, but this is the price I pay.
Books do rise to the top of the pile, their quality demanding more of my attention than other, less excellent works. And of the current pile I'm working through, two books have risen above the rest.
The first is Tibor Fischer's novel, Good to be God, a farcical wonder, and the second is Denis Dutton's book, The Art Instinct. Both books have earned my enthusiastic recommendation, and I'm on my second pass through each.
That's another thing: following an admonition I got from Nabokov, I don't consider that I've really finished a book until I've read it at least twice. Call me a glutton.
I'll have full reviews of both of these books up soon.

Lights, camera, FASHION -- Milan Fashion Week is well on its way right now and Paris will showcase some of its best talents in a few days time. But before we see what the fashion collectives have installed for fall/winter this year, let's do a recap of some of the hottest trends in London and New York.

Trend Report: The Lure of the Orient
February 13, 2015 / Rohaizatul Azhar
One of the most iconic moments in fashion history occurred in 1997 when Nicole Kidman, then a budding Hollywood starlet, attended the 67th Academy Awards wearing chartreuse-green silk dress designed by John Galliano for Dior. It is important to note that Kidman was not a big star yet and that she was only there to accompany her then-husband, Hollywood's A-list actor Tom Cruise.
But the ensemble, from Dior's couture collection, caught the attention of many fashion critics and got everyone talking. In fact, Kidman outshone her A-list husband and became the talk of the town for while. That bold choice of outfit, a first on the red carpet, landed Kidman at the top of many best-dressed lists.
Since then, many designers including Tom Ford for YSL, Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, Alexander McQueen for Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier and Dries Van Noten have all been lured by the exotic culture of the orient From beautiful brocade kimono jackets to elaborate obi belts and cheongsam-style dresses to embroidery rich with oriental motifs, it is no longer a secret that many international designers have looked to the East for inspiration.
From ancient China to international high fashion runways
In 2003, Roberto Cavalli reworked the cheongsam into sexy minidresses (pictured above). The Italian designer once said in an interview that he was "inspired by Asia; the bold colours and the cheongsam". But to give the traditional Chinese costume a more modern spin, Cavalli added corsets into the design to emphasise the "beautiful curves of the woman's body".
Even before that, cheongsam-inspired outfits have made an impact on the industry. In 2001, for instance, the cover of American Vogue's October issue showed top model Carolyn Murphy in a cheongsam-inspired top designed by Galliano for Dior.
But the Asian Chic trend really took off in 2003 where, just like in 1997-1998, a wide range of designers have incorporated elements of Asia in their designs. Elle magazine then reported on spate of Asian-influenced handbags by top fashion houses, such as Chanel, Ungaro, Valentino and Gaultier.
There were also many ensembles that reflected the undeniable lure of the orient.
The next year, Tom Ford revisited the East. This time, Ford, who was the head designer for Gucci, presented an entire collection based on chinoiserie.
It is no longer a surprise then that the theme for this year's Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2015 Costume Institute exhibition (also known as the Met Gala) is centred around the Chinese culture. Titled "Chinese Whispers: Tales of the East in Art, Film, and Fashion", the exhibition will include pieces from Tom Ford for YSL, Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton, Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, Alexander McQueen for Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Dries Van Noten, among many others. The Costume Institute is joining forces with the museum's Department of Asian Art, which celebrates its 100th anniversary next year.
Chinese opera will be a huge focus, as several costumes from famed performer Mei Lanfang will be on display, as well as pieces from John Galliano's spring 2003 Christian Dior couture show (pictured below) that was inspired by Mei.

Trend Report: Working Metallics
December 05, 2014 / Rohai, The Scribe
Metallics was one of the most ubiquitous trends on the spring/summer 2014 runways. From shiny frocks to lustrous bags and shoes, high fashion labels, including Altuzzara, Givenchy and Saint Laurent Paris, have sent out bright, shiny pieces we can't help but to drool over. This was followed through in the fall/winter 2014 shows and when the recent spring/summer 2015 shows wrapped up in Paris, in October, the word is out: the lustrous shine trend is officially here to stay.

This season, staying on trend means getting acquainted with names such as Stan Smith, Chuck Taylor and Jordan. On the runway, Raf Simons and Karl Lagerfeld sent down models wearing glitzy couture pieces that were paired with embellished sneakers that may very well have been their versions of sports sneakers made famous by sportswear labels New Balance, Nike and Adidas.

Masking with Handmade Heroes


When homeschooling, anything can present itself as an opportunity for teaching... including the expected arrival of a baby.
The children have learned quite a bit - about fetal development, the birth process, baby care, etc. They are also eagerly awaiting the birth of their sibling (although they won't be at home when it happens). I've been getting a number of questions as to exactly when the baby will make his or her grand appearance. So, to help fan the fires of anticipation, the children and I made a paper chain to count down the days until the due date... complete with holidays and birthdays of our family included.
Just before bed each night, we'll rip off the day's date until the baby comes or (oh, please, no) we run out!
Very clever. Can't wait to meet him or her.

Derek Jeter, who struck out to end last night's game, has struggled in the clutch.
This would be the scenario the Yankees never wanted to face: A do-or-die game with A.J. Burnett on the mound. The A.J. Burnett who owns a 5.26 ERA over the last two seasons in New York. The A.J. Burnett who led all of baseball with 25 wild pitches this year. (And you thought Henry Rodriguez struggled with command.)
But here's the thing: Even if Burnett twirls a gem tonight in Game 4 of the ALDS, the Yankees still need their big boppers to start producing at the plate. That hasn't been the case so far in this series. Alex Rodriguez is 0-for-10. Mark Teixeira is 1-for-11. Even Derek Jeter (despite four hits overall) has been abysmal in clutch situations; with runners in scoring position, he's 0-for-5 with four strikeouts (including the final out of last night's game).
Detroit's pitching, of course, has had something to do with all that. And tonight the Tigers send another good young right-hander to the mound in Rick Porcello. The 22-year-old didn't have a great season (14-9, 4.75 ERA) but he posted five consecutive quality starts in September. One more tonight could send Detroit to the ALCS...

Free advice to the Yankees: Gardner should be leading off.
Can't anybody here (and for whom I am rooting) play this game? Let's go, Tigers!
I know this has nothing to do with this game, but... I heard on tv today that only 2 teams have winning records against the Phillies this season - The Cardinals and -- ta-da! the Washington Nationals!!!
Here we go Tigers, Here we go!!
Crap - A huge opportunity missed (bases loaded, 2 out in 1st) for the Tigers. Let's see how Porcello navigates the Yankees 'dead zone' (ARod/Tex/Swisher) in the 2nd.
Let's go, Yankees! :)
El Capitan!
Watching A.J. Burnett pitch is like watching Rex Grossman play QB. Even when they are playing well, you find yourself kind of holding your breath ...
When Montero got his RBI single I left, walked to store for milk, got it, walked home, put the milk away, chatted with my daughter, and now discovery that THE INNING IS STILL GOING ON?!? Wow.
You never want to say the game is over, but suffice it to say that Valverde's crystal ball doesn't seem to be any better than Jimmy Rollins's was in 2009 ...
