Crochet Jewelry Ingredients

Looking for a quick crochet project, something that will draw attention with only a minimal number of stitches? Crochet jewelry not only is an eye-catching accessory that is great for year-round use, but necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are easy to whip up in a few evenings. There are a few essential ingredients to think about before beginning your crochet jewelry.

Mehndi Necklace by Lori Carlson

The Yarn

Most crochet jewelry is worked in lace-weight yarn or cotton thread. The fine weight allows you to crochet intricate stitch patterns while keeping the finished piece relatively small. Intricate stitch patterns can strain your eyes, so before you get started make sure you are in a well lit room-or deck chair as my preference may be-and choose a comfortable hook. Crocheters have a tendency to grip the hook too tightly when working with thread, causing hand cramps.

The Design

The complex jewelry design is often based on a motif. This means that many jewelry patterns include stitch diagrams, making them the ideal project for visual crocheters. The diagrams are an invaluable tool for deciphering how stitches build on each other to form the finished pieces.

The Finishing

If you, like me, plan to whip up a motif studded necklace or matching earrings for a special event, be sure to set aside at least one night for blocking and stiffening. You can use a variety of products to stiffen you finished crochet jewelry, from products specifically designed to shape thread to watered down glue. But if this is your first time stiffening crochet, I would recommend crocheting an extra motif or two to practice on.

A Touch of Sparkle

If you want to add a little extra bling to your crochet jewelry, try embellishing it with buttons or beads. Bead and buttons can be stitched on after you finish crocheting the piece or you can use bead crochet to add a touch of sparkle as you go.

DEFINITION of 'Lady Macbeth Strategy'

Lady Macbeth strategy is a corporate takeover scheme in which a third party poses as a white knight to gain trust, but then turns around and joins with the unfriendly party in a hostile takeover bid. Behind the scenes the hostile bidder and supposed white knight to the target company will collude to achieve their aim of acquiring a company that is trying to resist the attempt.

BREAKING DOWN 'Lady Macbeth Strategy'

Lady Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's most frightful and ambitious characters, devises a cunning plan for her husband, the Scottish general, to kill Duncan, the King of Scotland. The success of Lady Macbeth's scheme lies in her deceptive ability to appear noble and virtuous, and thereby secure Duncan's trust in the Macbeth's false loyalty.

The white knight defense is one of many takeover defenses that a company could deploy in a hostile bid situation. Adopting a poison pill (shareholder rights plan), staggering the election of the Board of Directors, establishing an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) and creating a different class of voting shares are other common methods to deter or block unsolicited advances. If a company seeks out a white knight, it must treat this savior well, providing attractive incentives for his chivalry. For example, the white knight may be allowed to pay a smaller premium to take control of the company than otherwise would be required under competitive bid conditions.

Where is Lady Macbeth?

There is no good modern-day example of Lady Macbeth strategy. Hostile takeover bids occur only once in a while and it is rarer still that a white knight would become part of the plot. Moreover, even if a targeted company sought out a white knight, it typically would have enough knowledge of this third party to be confident that it would work cooperatively with the besieged company instead of betraying it.

With a new single on the way X Factor’s Wagner Fiuza-Carrilho is back in the public domain but now he’s got a new barnet to boot.

Cast your mind back to late 2010 when X Factor was in full swing and your eyes and ears were introduced to the wonderful world of Wagner.

Easily one of the ITV talent show’s most memorable contestants, the Brazilian-born entertainer was part of Louis Walsh’s Over 28s.

Video Loading

Now, thanks to London’s Vinci Hair Clinic, Wagner has received a new lease of life.

After receiving news this week that he welcomed the birth of his second child, Lillian Janine, with partner Lydia, who is 36 years his junior we were also treated to the fact he’s launching his first single and ready to debut this new look.

XFactor's Wagner shows off new hair transplant! Surgery
Wagner is back!

Wagner explains: “I started to lose my hair on the crown of my head in my thirties. For years, I wore my hair in a half-ponytail, which disguised this problem, but recently I started to notice I was also losing the hair at the front of my head, and there was nothing I could do to hide this!”

He adds: “I love to perform, but noticed my hair was a real mess, and this affected my confidence.

"I like to take pride in my appearance and keep fit with martial arts, but what’s the point in working out and having a mutilated head? That’s how I saw it!”

XFactor's Wagner shows off new hair transplant!
Before and after

“I am so happy with the results, I will be going back in 2015 for a second transplant to fix the balding on my crown.”

View the gallery above to see all the gory pics.

Meanwhile months after Gordon Ramsay, 48, is rumoured to have undergone a hair transplant, he showed off an enviable head of hair on The Jonathan Ross Show.

Sporting a quiff not too dissimilar from Becks or even One Direction's Niall Horan - who is half his age - the Kitchen Nightmares star's latest hairstyle is a far cry to the bizarre 'do he sported in May.

Click here to see the celebrity chef's full head of hair.

Bookies think Wagner will have to do a lot to make Simon Cowell run scared with his new bid for Xmas No.1.

Wagner thinks Switched On Like A Radio will go down well, he adds: “After singing other people’s songs for years, I wanted to write my own music. My first single is an upbeat track, to get everyone dancing!”

Cowell needn't start worrying just yet as former X Factor favourite enters the race as a 100/1 outsider to take the Christmas Day top single.

Band Aid 30 is most fancied by the bookies for the top spot at 8/11.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "At this stage Wagner's a rank outsider for the Christmas top spot, but should the Anti-Cowell brigade come out in force it won't be long before the odds are slashed and he becomes a serious contender."

* Wagner is re-launching his musical career with his first single Switched On Like A Radio

Liverpool kept their top-four hopes alive with a 4-0 victory over West Ham at London Stadium on Sunday.

Daniel Sturridge settled the away side's nerves with a goal in the first half before a Philippe Coutinho double put the game to bed.

Divock Origi then heaped further misery on the Hammers, who impressed in their 1-0 win over Tottenham last time out, with just over ten minutes left to play.

The win sees Liverpool leapfrog Manchester City to third as the battle for the Champions League places continues to heat up.

Here, our reporter Darren Lewis rates the performances...

Philippe Coutinho was twice on the score sheet
The Reds have leapfrogged Manchester City in third

West Ham

Adrian 5

No chance with the goals as his defence melted in front of him.

Byram 4

Should have done better with his seventh-minute chance.

Reid 4

Let Sturridge in for an early chance and was generally poor.

Collins 4

Some decent blocks early on but could do nothing to stop Coutinho. Booked.

Fonte 3

Statuesque as Coutinho bypassed him for the goal. No surprise he was taken off.

Cresswell 4

Simply unable to prevent Liverpool creating out wide.

Emre Can battles for the ball with Jose Fonte

Nordveit 4

Showed some industry in midfield but outshone by Liverpool's quality.

Fernandes 4

Forced a wonderful save from Mignolet early on. Little after.

Ayew 5

Only he will know how he - remarkably - hit the post TWICE from Lanzini's corner.

Calleri 2

Another game, another powder-puff showing up front. Just not good enough.

Feghouli for Calleri (55) 5

Fonte for Fletcher (55) 4

Snodgrass for Ayew (77) 4

Mignolet 7

Fine save in the 12th minutes from Fernandes. Lucky that Ayew hit the post when he should have scored.

Clyne 7

Given a tricky afternoon by Ayew's graft but a decent afternoon.

Lovren 7

Fortunate to have been up against an unconvincing Calleri.

Matip 7

Unlucky to see his header from Coutinho's corner hit the crossbar.

Milner 7

Solid enough defensively as usual. Kept Adrian on his toes with some efforts from distance.

Jurgen Klopp celebrates his side going 3-0 ahead

Can 7

Hard-working, particularly in the early stages when West Ham threatened.

Wijnaldum 8

Another to produce a fine save from Adrian and hit the crossbar superbly before he second.

Lallana 7

Forced fine stops from Adrian early on and after the break.

Coutinho 9

Made one (with a magnificent assist for Sturridge) and scored a deserved two more. MOM.

Sturridge 8

Class is permanent. Superb composure to net his first goal since Jan 2.

Lucas for Sturridge (87)

Grujic for Lallana (89)

Woodburn for Coutinho (89)

Will Liverpool qualify for the Champions League?

Productive Fitness Laminated Wall Chart Fitness Poster Handstand Exercises The Handstand Exercise Poster from Productive Fitness is a 24 x 36 laminated wall chart designed as a visual guide for teaching proper form, positioning, and safe execution of handstands utilizing the bodys own weight as resistance. It also provides an informative and easy-to-follow workout routine for those not familiar with fundamental handstand training exercises or those not having access to individual or group fitness instruction. Handstand training will get you a well-balanced and super strong upper body and core since holding yourself up while inverted (upside down) forces you to stabilize all your muscles at once. Handstands build upper body strength and the large muscles used to sustain a handstand, including the pectoralis major of the chest, the front deltoids, anterior deltoids, and rear deltoids of the shoulders, and the latissimus and trapezius muscles of the back. Staying upright in handstand position requires balance and stabilization from key muscle groups such as abs, hip flexors, hamstrings, inner thigh muscles, obliques, and lower back. Handstands have long been an important component of any yoga or gymnastics routine and are rapidly gaining popularity as a bodyweight core exercise for fitness and sports performance.

The Laminated Exercise Training Poster series from Productive Fitness Publishing illustrates how to perform exercises through clear step-by-step instructions with colorful photos demonstrating proper biomechanical form and start and finish positioning. Each beautiful, easy to follow fitness poster is a great addition to any home gym, office, workout studio, rec center, school gymnasium, or fitness center. Choose a single workout poster or several exercise charts to showcase your favorite workout routines or body focus. Whether you are beginner who has never exercised or used a particular piece of fitness equipment, or a seasoned fitness enthusiast looking for workout variety and a balanced routine, these posters offer a fun, safe and effective guide towards getting fit.

Foods That Hurt Your Energy (and Foods That Help It)

Posted in Health Advice, Latest Blog Tagged , |

Tired womanIf you find yourself reaching for coffee as soon as you wake up, your first idea may be reevaluating your sleep. As important as restful, solid sleep is, the foods you eat also play an important role in the quality of your sleep.

Nutrition directly affects energy levels, meaning the wrong foods can have a negative impact on your ability to stay alert. Following is a list of some of the worst energy stealers along with the best foods for fueling your day.

Breakfast Foods That are Heavily Processed and Steal Energy

  • Muffins
  • White bread
  • Waffles
  • Bacon
  • Sausages
  • Scones
  • Croissants
  • Pancakes

Although breakfast staples like pancakes and croissants have long been viewed as an ideal way to start the day, they are heavily processed and contain simple carbohydrates. These foods set the body up for a blood sugar crash, since they send sugar levels soaring only to quickly crash back down. This leaves you feeling tired and sluggish.

The high-fat levels in processed meats such as sausage and bacon make them difficult to digest. With the majority of your energy being used for digestion, it leaves limited energy for you to run on.

Sustain Your Energy Levels With These Healthy Options

Yummy Healthy BreakfastInstead of the above, try these healthy options for breakfast:

  • Oatmeal topped with fruit
  • Eggs with sautéed with veggies such as capsicum, spinach, mushrooms, and tomato
  • An IsaLean Shake
  • Wholegrain bread or wraps with veggies and beans
  • Greek yoghurt with fresh fruit

Snacks – The Good and Bad

Snacks that can sap your energy include:

  • Ice cream
  • Lollipops and other candies
  • Brownies
  • Cookies
  • Chocolate
  • Chips and pretzels

Although chips for a morning snack and a brownie after dinner may sound harmless, these snacks can hurt your energy levels and your waistline. With high amounts of fat and sugar and almost zero nutrients, these snacks should be saved for a treat on the weekend rather than a daily snack.

Try these healthier snack options instead:

What About Lunch and Dinner Time?

Lunch and dinner foods that can drain your energy include:

  • White pasta
  • White rice
  • Canned soups
  • Store-bought sauces

If these foods make up the majority of your plate, it is unlikely that your body is getting the nutrients it requires. White pasta and rice are high in calories, low in nutrients, and spike blood sugar. Store-bought sauces and soups are packed with excessive sodium, additives, and sugar. Without the nutrients, fibre, vitamins, and minerals it needs, the body is not fueled properly and you will feel fatigued and sluggish.

Try these delicious alternatives instead:

  • Brown rice
  • Quinoa
  • Spiralised veggies (such as zucchinis or sweet potatoes) instead of noodles
  • Spaghetti squash rather than traditional pasta
  • Homeade soups and sauces
  • Leafy greens
  • Lentils

Try these healthier options and your body will thank you!

Aston Martin Rapide S

Aston Martin Rapide S

Request A Callback

Aston Martin Rapide S

The Aston Martin Rapide S does the seemingly impossible by endowing Aston Martin's gorgeous four-door sports car with even greater performance, agility and refinement.

As well as new styling and the greatest level of interior customisation ever offered by the manufacturer.

Rapide S Range

Powered by a new, retuned 6.0-litre V12 engine, the Rapide S delivers 558PS of power and 620Nm of torque. This powerhouse of an engine can get you to 62mph in 4.9 seconds, and to a top speed of 190mph.

Visit the Lancaster Aston Martin dealerships in Cambridgeshire and Kent to find out more about the Rapide S.

The enhanced performance of the Rapide S compared to its predecessor is a result of subtle tweaks to its exterior design, as well as the improvements made to its already mighty engine.The rear deck has been restyled to make the car yet more aerodynamic, while the lower position of the engine and 48:52 weight distribution results in exceptional body control round the sharpest corners. The full-face aluminium grille and new air intake, meanwhile, give the vehicle an even more assertive profile. This can be accentuated by a new Piano Black interior pack, with darker instrument surrounds and finer headlining.

The variety of safety and security measures available with the Rapide S give you maximum protection in the event of an accident. In addition to a raft of systems to provide extra stability, grip and traction, the advanced bonded aluminium frame and new front bumper beams provide extra rigidity. Together with the eight airbags, all four occupants are shielded from the force of any impact. Fast as it may be, the Rapide S is also extremely quick to stop, due to its standard carbon-ceramic disc brakes and top-quality 20" alloy wheels. An immobiliser and optional Category Five tracking device also assures security against theft.

The Rapide S will be the first Aston Martin to feature the manufacturer's “Gen4" Adaptive Damping.

This enables drivers to choose between three driving modes, “Normal", “Sport", and “Track", depending on whether you are focused more on refinement or performance.

The Rapide S's new 8 speed gearbox goes into production in late 2014, ready for the latest model release in 2015.

The unique roar of Aston Martin engines has always been a unique selling point of these iconic sports cars. Careful adjustments to the interior have resulted to a reduction in vibrations, while retaining the exhilarating noise of the V12 in full flow.

The aural pleasure of driving the Rapide S is enhanced further still by the Bang & Olufsen BeoSound audio system, which offers a perfectly balanced blend of exterior and interior sound.

Vehicle Length 5020 mm / 197.6 in
Vehicle Width 2140 mm / 84.25 in
Vehicle Height (unladen weight) 1350 mm / 53.1 in

Wedding First Dance

Making your magic day even more magical

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. We get that.

Simple. Memorable. Stress-Free. Guaranteed! At JC Dance Co., we would be honoured to teach you and your fiancé how to dance together as you prepare for your wedding. You may be surprised how easy and fun wedding first dance lessons can really be!

We can teach a variety of dances from Waltz all the way to Jive and Salsa.  The most important thing is that the dance suits the both of you.  We always start simple and slowly build the number of steps as time and ambition allow us.  Ultimately, you have the final say on what’s danced, we’re just here to teach you all the options in the simplest and easiest way.

Below is a short list of options that can help you prepare for your special day. They range from simple to sensational, and depend partly on how much time you have before your wedding and what type of dance you want to do.

If none of the options below are exactly what you’re looking for, do not worry. We can easily work together to build a package that suits your needs. The options are endless…

Contact JC Dance Co. today and take your first steps together, on and off the dance floor to a romantic and special life in each other’s arms!

Need Something Special?

If the packages shown here aren’t quite what you were after, we can offer you a customized solution exactly suited to your vision.

Answering your most frequently asked questions

We’re here to help, so let’s get started right now by answering some of the questions that may be on your mind.

For most wedding receptions, there is a transition from the formal sit-down events of the evening, such as the dinner and speeches, to the more informal dance party at the end of the evening. It is customary for you, the wedding couple, to be the first couple on the dance floor.

Although there are no rules about how this first dance is done, if you are not used to dancing together, especially to your special song, this first dance can be a source of anxiety and stress. Wedding first dance lessons will give you the experience and confidence to dance your first dance without stress, so that you and your fiancé can truly enjoy your time together on the dance floor. Your dance can be anything from super simple, involving a few figures done through lead and follow, to more complex, involving a specifically choreographed number that wows everyone at the reception. A good dance teacher will be able to help you with whatever you are looking for.

The idea of dance lessons is often a very foreign idea to many people here in Vancouver. It’s just not part of our culture. Many people look at TV shows such as ‘Dancing With the Stars’ or ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and say that there’s no way they would want to do that. However, dance lessons for your wedding dance don’t have to be that intense; they can be totally different.

The dance floor is still a traditional place where the man has the opportunity to take full responsibility in leading his lady.  Therefore, dance lessons are very much about a man learning how to lead his lady and for a lady to follow the indications given by her man. All the fancy steps, extra arm styling and emotional gestures are just optional additions to an otherwise very technical (yet easily learned) skill of leading and following.

Try suggesting to your fiance that you can come to the ballroom for a free consultation.  You’ll be able to meet with one of the teachers, chat about your ideas (and worries) for your wedding dance and most of all get more comfortable with the atmosphere of the ballroom.  All that for FREE!

Trying to guess how many dance lessons you need is a bit like asking how long will it take to learn how to swim. It all depends on how your body learns and how open your mind is to new ideas. Some people learn faster than others. Some have certain kinds of background experiences that make it easier to catch on to key things. Some have very busy lives making it harder to practice or even focus on what they’re learning. And goals are also part of the equation. Do you just want to learn enough for a couple simple steps, or are you planning to totally kill it and become a YouTube sensation?

In short, everyone is different. The number of lessons you need will vary greatly from one person to the next. What counts is your desire to learn and your willingness to go forward and give it a try. We make it fun because learning is easier when you’re having a good time.

With all that said, our most popular packages are the 4 and 7 lesson package as described above.  They will give you the right amount of time to be confident dancing a simple or slightly more complicated dance.  Like with everything, it’s ultimately up to you both to decide what fits you best, but we can guarantee that you’ll be better dancers after your lessons than before your started!

We believe your wedding dance should be a unique and authentic reflection of you and your fiance. Therefore we will use our skills to teach you to dance to the song of your choice, not your dance teacher’s song of choice. If you have a selection of equally special songs, we can help you decide what will work best.  We can either do this at your first lesson or we can schedule a free consult at the ballroom before your lessons start to answer all your questions in person.

Keep in mind that your song selection doesn’t have to be slow and romantic.  We’ve worked with many Vancouver couples who wanted faster, upbeat and sometimes downright silly songs to dance to.

Where can I park?

The Broadway Ballroom has free underground parking for all dance students attending a class. The entrance is through the back alley behind the ballroom. Get a parking pass card from the receptionist on the 2nd floor and place the pass on the dash of your car. Check out our handy video to the left on how to get here and where you can park!

Need some great entertainment for your wedding?

Wedding dance show entertainment

Our Performance Team loves to be part of unique and memorable weddings. These dancers have entertained Brides, Grooms and their guests with energetic and fun numbers, adding that extra special something to an already incredible evening. Their elegant Waltz-Hip Hop, cheeky Country-Cha Cha, flamboyant Bollywood-Samba and comedic Jive-Lindy Hop shows have all been performed at various Vancouver weddings with thunderous applause. Contact us for details.

How to Know When It’s Time for a Furnace Repair

In McHenry you rely on your furnace to keep you comfortable throughout the colder months. If it’s been a while since you had a standard maintenance appointment for your heat pump, you could be preparing for furnace service visit any day. Simply put, you probably have a dirty air filter, which can obstruct air flow and influence your furnace’s efficiency. It could even produce problems with your furnace’s control switch, which works furnace operation.

There are a few other reasons you may need a furnace repair. We’ve collected some signs for you to look for. The quicker you can call for a heat pump maintenance, the better. Call in an expert, like Jett's Heating & Air Inc., if you note any of these symptoms:

  1. Your blower doesn’t seem to be operating properly. Is it running enough? Is it working all the time? Is the air blowing through as liberally as it should, or does it seem tired? Indications related to your blower could suggest a minor problem with your air filter or the internal blower.
  2. Your home isn’t getting warm enough. Are you hiking up the thermostat again and again, but you’re still cold? This could be a issue with your thermostat. It may be that your furnace is too small for your home. It may even be a difficulty with your gas source or your pilot light, among other things.
  3. Your furnace is loud. If your furnace starts working loudly or making noises you’re not used to hearing, there could be a problem.
  4. You smell gas. You definitely don’t want to interfere with this one. If you smell gas, turn off your furnace immediately and turn off its gas supply. Get around lighting matches or turning on lights until your HVAC expert or your gas company looks at it.
  5. You find water pooling around your furnace. Many times this is a blocked condensation line. This could demand both plumbing and HVAC professionals to repair.
  6. Your utility bill keeps growing. If your bill is rising, but your usage is not, there could be a series of problems. Your HVAC professional will help find out what’s going wrong.

Now that you’ve read these indicators, you’ll know when you need to arrange furnace repair. And we’re here when you need it. Call Jett's Heating & Air Inc. at 815-459-4700 or use our online scheduler when you need to schedule repairs or regular maintenance.

Chicken or Egg?

Personally, I find both to be delicious! But, that has nothing at all to do with this post.

Ready to start getting excited for Homecoming? Check out these flawless pieces and get ahead of the style curve..

Top 5 Homecoming Dresses for 2017

Floral Print Fit and Flare Short Dress 43097

Take the plunge in this drop neckline floral dress. The black fabric is covered in blue, green and grey over-sized floral detailing. It creates a sophisticated and bold look that will stand out at any event you wear it to.

The deep v-neck cut is punctuated with a sparkling black waist belt. From there, the skirt flares in a wide pleat. The bodice is form-fitting, creating a balanced look that is flattering.

This design even includes the cutest feature – a small side pocket. Ditch your clutch and slip your phone or lipstick in here instead! It also makes for a great way to pose – for when those photos inevitably happen.

This versatile dress will take you to Homecoming – and many more events. You’ll easily find more opportunities to wear it. It’ll fit any wedding or party dress code, too. It’s easy to style in a variety of ways to change its look instantly.

For Homecoming, wear this with simple black heels and a black clutch or shoulder bag. Add a striking red lipstick and a dewy, fresh-faced complexion. Effortless and oh-so-elegant!

Off White Silver Fit and Flare Spaghetti Straps Homecoming Dress 51788

This cute off-white dress is delicate and pretty, yet with added glitz. It’s covered in sparkling silver embellishments that give it a luxurious and opulent edge. The narrow shoulder straps and plunging v-neck give it a contemporary feel.

The figure-hugging bodice has a sweet, easy-to-wear shape. The dress then flares from the center point of the waist with a gentle pleat. The edge of the hem is scalloped, creating a unique feature that has an on-trend boho vibe.

The overall silhouette is just so body complementing for any shape. The off-white color also suits most skin tones, making this dress a great choice for anyone who loves its style. The neutral color means this is easy to style in a variety of unique ways, allowing you to personalize it.

You can choose to play up the boho babe angle by wearing this with suede tan sandals and a fringe shoulder bag. Alternatively, go super chic in nude minimal heels and a statement clutch. Opt for loose wavy hair and a matching manicure to finish your Homecoming look.

Ruby Sequined Fitted Sleeveless Short Dress 52266

Looking to turn up the heat for Homecoming? Prepare to sizzle in this red hot sequin dress. Form-fitting and super sexy, this one will never fail to turn every head in your direction!

The ruby sparkling detail lights up any room as it glitters under the sun or disco ball alike. Featuring a plunging neckline and equally as daring plunging back, this is the ultimate jaw-dropper. It even plunges under the arms, creating a stunning silhouette.

This body-conscious dress shows off your figure, all while remaining easy to wear. The sheer insert at the neckline ensures the bodice stays firmly in place. The seamed detailing adds further structure to create a tailored and enhanced look.

Team this dress with your highest heels and a silver mirror clutch. Opt for a smokey eye to amplify the drama, or go classic with a tidy hair-bun and minimal makeup. A simple French manicure is all you need on your nails.

Charcoal Fit and Flare Embellished Bodice Dress 54414

Charcoal has become an increasingly popular color choice – and with good reason. It’s a more subtle take on the LBD and flatters most skin tones too. This charcoal beauty makes a big impact thanks to its amazing design.

Inspired by the latest runway trends, this piece has a very detailed beaded bodice. Intricate and couture-esque, this had a distinct red carpet vibe. The thin straps and sweetheart neckline mean this will still be so comfortable to wear.

The skirt is just as attention-grabbing – composed from flared, sheer layers of fabric. It has so much volume and adds balance to this outfit. The skirt and bodice collaborate to create an edgy-meets-feminine look.

Team this up with silver heels and a silver clutch. Add a pair of chandelier earrings and a braided hairdo to add further sophistication. A pink lipstick will add just a flash of color.

Black and Gold Fitted Embellished High Neck Short Dress 55619

Wow them with timeless glamour in this black and gold sleeveless dress. Embellished with statement stripes of gold beads, this design is a modern classic. It also draws the eye to create an hourglass look and has a slimming, elongating effect.

The high neckline is embellished with three rings of more gold embellishment. That means there’s no need to wear a necklace and jewelry can be kept minimal. The design is cut to reveal your shoulders and from behind, it has a slight racer-back finish.

This dress ends just above the knee, creating a sophisticated silhouette. The black and gold combine to create a modern yet ‘forever’ look that will never go out of style. It’s a winning Homecoming combination.

Pair this up with further black and gold tones – a black velvet clutch and gold heels will perfectly fit this dress. Add a bronzed complexion with a brown smokey eye and glossy pink lip. Go for voluminous hair that has luminous shine.

A Joyride Nitro tap, poured for a satisfied customer in San Francisco.

Tell your friends, family and more importantly your office manager, because your daily office coffee woes are about to come to an end! Say goodbye to that sad, sad K-cup machine. Bid adieu to super bitter office coffee that you can only enjoy with excessive amounts of milk and sugar. Say hello to the world's best, direct-trade coffee in your office, every day.

Your tastebuds will thank you. Your mornings will be brighter. Your fellow employees will have a noticeable spring in their step.

Joyride is now offering Bostonians the same amazing office coffee selection, high-end service and cafe-quality brewing equipment - the perfect office coffee setup - currently in place at the most innovative companies in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Finally, Boston doesn’t have to settle for an underwhelming cup of coffee in the office anymore.

Joyride has been working hard for months to get the wheels in motion, motivated not only by repeated customer demands from the area, but also by the blossoming third wave coffee scene in Boston and our overarching mission to make cafe-quality office coffee accessible to anyone who wants it. For these reasons, Joyride decided that now was the time to expand to our fourth city.

 The Boston coffee scene will never be the same with Joyride in town!

Now you can enjoy a locally roasted, perfectly brewed cup of coffee from the likes of George Howell in the morning while looking forward to a chilly glass of kombucha pulled from your office kegerator in the afternoon.

For those in Boston excited about the prospect of Joyride for your office, we’re collecting a wait list of interested offices looking to upgrade their coffee program with cold brew kegs and cafe-quality office coffee on day one. We're also offering our keg service to local area cafes looking to set up a craft on draft keg program for their customers.

Why you should thank a teacher this week

“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” –Albert Einstein

Think back to one teacher who inspired you in school and it’s easy to understand exactly what Einstein was talking about.

A great teacher wears many hats—coach, fan, disciplinarian, leader, counselor, and many others—often at the same time. Few professions stand to have such a profound impact on the lives of children and families.

President Obama has proclaimed this week National Teacher Appreciation Week, calling on all Americans “to recognize the hard work and dedication of our nation’s teachers.” National education groups, businesses, and individuals are celebrating the work of teachers through social media campaigns (#ThankATeacher), special teacher-related discounts, and fond memories of their favorite educators.

As we reflect back on those teachers that challenged and empowered us personally, let’s take a look at how great teachers inspired some of the most important scientific, cultural, and political leaders of our time. (This information comes from the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize. More on that, including links, below.)

Stephen Hawking
Once a bored student with bad handwriting, famed physicist Stephen Hawking remembers how a math teacher named Mr. Tahta ignited a passion for learning that led him to an esteemed career as a scientist and professor.

In a video for this year’s Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize, Hawking remembers how Tahta was different than most teachers. “His lessons were lively and exciting. Everything could be debated,” notes Hawking. It’s this ability to challenge students that sets the best teachers apart.

“When each of us thinks about what we can do in life,” Hawkins says, “chances are, we can do it because of a teacher.”

More from Dr. Hawking on his favorite teacher:

Oprah Winfrey
Oprah deemed her fourth-grade teacher Mrs. Duncan so important and influential in her own success that she thanked the educator in the final episode of her legendary talk show. Referring to Duncan as her “first liberator” and “validator,” Oprah pointed to the ability of truly great teachers to instill confidence in their students.

By now, we all know the impact the Oprah brand has had on American culture, but did you know Oprah nearly decided to become a teacher?

On her website, Oprah writes about how she was inspired by Mrs Duncan: “For the first time, I wasn’t afraid to be smart, and she often stayed after school to work with me. I thought I would one day become a fourth-grade teacher.”

President Bill Clinton
President Clinton credits high school band director Virgil Spurlin for imparting specific skills he’d need as President. Spurlin taught the former Commander-in-Chief how to organize and allocate resources—a set of skills Clinton deemed essential to his time in the White House.

More important, Clinton says Spurlin instilled in his students the confidence to excel at their passions. As the president told the Harvard Mentoring Project, Spurlin thought “that everybody was good at something and if he just looked hard enough he could find it, he could convince them of it, and he could raise their aspirations and their hopes.” As Clinton says in this video from the Varkey Prize, the work of Spurlin and all of America’s teachers is “truly heroic.”

Engaging teachers
Great teachers have a profound impact on the lives and careers they inspire. But, not unlike the hundreds of students who pass through their classrooms each year, even the best educators need to feel empowered in order to succeed.

As we honor America’s teachers this week, remember how essential it is to bring teachers into the important conversations about your district and their work. Ask for their input on key decisions and do whatever is in your power to ensure their needs and the needs of their students are met. The future depends on it.

How do you engage teachers in your school or district? Tell us in the comments.

If you’re looking for a better way to empower teachers and include them in critical conversations, you might start by giving them a voice. It’s easier than you think.

Baby Teddy - Kathryn Langley Photography - Calgary Newborn Photographer

Calgary Newborn Photographer ~ Baby Teddy

How cute is this sweet little baby boy!? I almost never use yellow so I was so excited when his parents requested yellow as an accent colour for his newborn images to match his nursery! I definitely need to pull this colour out more often! And with the adorable nickname of "Teddy", I of course had to put him in a bear hat!  His mom and dad were some of the sweetest people and I loved chatting with them during the breaks in the session! They love their little guy so much and I know they were so excited for him to finally be in their arms!

Crackley celebrations set with tennis club grant

Kenilworth Tennis Club is set to receive a grant of up to £30,000 from Warwick District Council to help refurbish five of its tennis courts.

The work will involve resurfacing two of the Crackley Lane club’s artificial grass courts, removing moss from three of its hard-surface courts, improving fences around four courts and installing a new gate to improve security.

Louise Best, the tennis secretary, welcomed the grant, which will cover half the costs of the work.

She said: “This grant will allow us to continue to offer the very best tennis facilities to our members and community groups in the town.

“Once the work is completed we will be holding an open day to show off the newly refurbished courts.”

The council said its decision to award the grant was based on the club’s “important role” in the community.

Kenilworth School and Sixth Form use the courts for tennis matches, St Nicholas school holds PE lessons there and the club takes part in the Great British Tennis Weekend, an annual event where many clubs across the country allow members of the public to play for free.

The club on Crackley Lane also hosts camps for children during the school holidays.

Artificial grass courts and hard-surface courts both require regular maintenance to ensure they are safe to play on.

Poor drainage caused by wear-and-tear can cause puddles to form, and cold weather can cause potholes to emerge on hard-surface courts.

James Roe, the club’s head coach, had written a letter to the council explaining the courts would not survive another winter season if no work was done.

He said: “The courts were coming to the end of their life.

“They were fine when they were bone-dry, but they could become slippery when wet, which is potentially dangerous.

“The courts were very uneven in certain parts, and could produce bad bounces during matches.

“I’m extremely happy with the council’s decision - it’s just what the club needs.”

Work on the courts is expected to start in the autumn.

Promotion is the aim as Sibley heads to Malaysia

Kelly Sibley believes familiarity will help in England's World Team quest.
Kelly Sibley believes familiarity will help in England's World Team quest.

Kelly Sibley is ready to take on the world as England head to Malaysia for the World Team Championships.

The Leamington player joins Tin-Tin Ho and Karina Le Fevre in the squad as England, ranked 32, compete in the second division.

They face the division’s top seeds, Serbia (25th), plus Canada (34), Belgium (39), Turkey (42) and New Zealand (48) in Group E, beginning against Turkey on Sunday.

They will face Serbia last, and Sibley believes a bit of inside knowledge could see them mount a serious challenge to the top seeds.

She said: “Serbia are the number one seeds and would normally be in the top division, but Malaysia have taken their spot as hosts, so they will have a point to prove to show they deserve to be in that top division.

“But we’ve got no pressure and we can cause them problems and maybe get an unexpected win. I know two of their players quite well - Anamaria Erdelji is in my French league team (Schiltigheim) and I’m the same age as Gabriela Feher so we’ve played each other all the way through the age groups. It’s going to be tough, but if we play well, we’ve got a chance.

“I think it’s quite a tough group. If the other teams put out their strong players, it will be difficult but if we play well and get behind each other we can get some decent wins. The main goal is to go up, but we just want to perform well.

“On a personal note, I was disappointed with how the Europeans went, because we wanted promotion and we weren’t able to do that. I want to go there and put in a better performance. I feel my training and match-play has been going well.”

Sibley also made light of the fact that the squad is only three-strong rather than four.

“We’re also taking a physio, which is good because there are a lot of matches,” she said. “It’s quite strenuous on the body but we can use the physio, get massages and rest properly.

“We’ve been training well and we’re fit and ready to go.”

What is HTTP/2?

HTTP/2 is the second major version update to the HTTP protocol since HTTP1.1 which was released more than 15 years ago. The HTTP/2 protocol was developed due to the ever-evolving digital world and the need to load more resource intensive web pages.

We discussed SPDY in a previous article which was also implemented to help reduce web page latency users experience when using HTTP1.1. HTTP/2 is based off SPDY, however contains key improvements that has lead to the deprecation of SPDY in February, 2015.

You can verify with the HTTP/2 test tool if you server supports HTTP/2.

Differences from HTTP1.1

Similar to SPDY, using HTTP/2 does not require any changes to how web applications currently work however, applications are able to take advantage of the optimization features to increase page load speed. According to the HTTP/2 home page, the high-level differences between the HTTP1.1. and HTTP/2 protocol include the following:

  • HTTP/2 is binary, instead of textual
  • It is fully multiplexed, instead of ordered and blocking
  • It can use one connection for parallelism
  • It uses header compression to reduce overhead
  • It allows servers to “push” responses proactively into client caches instead of waiting for a new request for each resource

Comparison of SPDY3.1 and HTTP/2

Although SPDY and HTTP/2 both have the same goal in mind, there are key variations that exist between them. The following table outlines a few of the high-level differences between SPDY3.1 and HTTP/2

To use the SPDY protocol and take advantage of its features, SSL is required. SSL isn’t required, however encrypted websites will see a boost in performance over today’s encrypted sites.
Multiplexing happens on one host at a time, known as single host multiplexing. Multiplexing happens on different hosts at the same time, known as multi-host multiplexing.
SPDY’s stream-based compression method leaves a slight opening to protocol vulnerabilities. Uses a fixed Huffman code-based header compression algorithm to further prevent attacks and shorten headers.
SPDY’s encrypted connections are fast however they do not use the ALPN extension. Uses the ALPN extension which allows for faster encrypted connections by letting browsers and servers to decide which application protocol to use initially.

HTTP/2 Support

Most major browsers fully support the use of HTTP/2. This means that if the website you are trying to access runs on an HTTP/2 supported server, your browser will be able to utilize its features. However, although the working group did not require the use of encryption for the new protocol, currently all major browsers only support HTTP/2 over HTTPS.

A more detailed history of browser versions that do support HTTP/2 can be found here.

Browser Supported
Chrome Yes
Firefox Yes
Microsoft Edge Yes
Safari Support limited to OSX 10.11+
Opera Yes
iOS Safari Yes
 IE Supported in version 11, but only for Windows 10.
Android Browser No

HTTP/2 is without a doubt the direction the web is moving towards in terms of networking protocol that is able to handle the resource needs of today’s websites. While SPDY was a great step forward in improving HTTP1.1, HTTP/2 has since further improved the HTTP protocol that has served the web for many years.

Given you have a server that supports the HTTP/2 protocol, you can start serving content over this protocol to users that are accessing your content through a supported browser. For browsers that do not support HTTP/2, they will continue to be delivered content through the old protocol. Using the HTTP/2 protocol will help make websites faster and overall will improve the web’s user experience.

Anti Ageing Secrets: Feel Younger, Look Better

I didn’t feel old and crumpled when I woke up this morning but I do now. Firstly a mum discussion in the playground about Courtney Love had two mums saying they’d never heard of grunge (*they were both born in 1987). Then on the way home two people stopped me and asked if I wanted a free haircut.

I am not a vain person but I do yearn to be somewhere between a yummy mummy and MILF and not remain in the slummy mummy category all my life, so my aim for this week is to anti age myself just a little. Mostly this means more effort on the beauty front, a bit of tidying up on the clothes front and a lot of effort on the health and fitness front.

Step one is to wear something not black (partially and pathetically achieved with a scarf). Step two is to eat healthily and not live on caffeine and sugar all day (achieved so far but it is still early) and step three is to go for a 30 minute run (not yet achieved, but there’s time).

My plan is a combination of clothes and health and fitness will make me feel, if not look 10 years younger. Along side this I let it be known I am open to anti-ageing ideas. So far via email/twitter this is the advice I have received:

  1. Colour counselling: This is where you pay someone to tell you what colour suits you. This is a somewhat redundant process for me as 90% of my wardrobe is black and a spending spree is not on the cards.
  2. Go blonde like Tulisa on the X Factor (no thank you!)
  3. Have botox (sorry hate the idea, can’t afford it and it doesn’t last)!
  4. Take up body-building (has this person not seen Jodie Marsh?)!

On hearing me whine so much about feeling old my five year old did attempt to make me feel better by saying “You don’t look old mummy.” I was about to kiss her when this was swiftly followed by, “In the olden days did you ride a horse and cart to school?”

So what’s your feel-younger-look-better secret? Do let me know.
