It's very difficult for me to find a jean that fits me perfectly being that I am only 4'10" and curvier than an average chick. Finding jeans that don't give me "muffin top" is hard enough, but to add to that I also have to find jeans that aren't an entire foot too long, it's a damn near impossible task.
While shopping at Old Navy last week I found my unicorn. I was in search of white denim because it's going to be a must have for the upcoming Spring and Summer season, and Old Navy had some that were so soft on sale for $30! I thought to myself, "these look perfect, but I bet they won't have my size". However after only digging through 2 piles of denim under the display table I was able to find my size in SHORT length. I quickly ran them to the register without even trying them on, afraid I would drop them and someone would steal my unicorn.
When I got home I was a little skeptical, I thought for sure they wouldn't fit right, even as I was trying them on, and buttoning them without having to lay on the bed. I zipped them up and sure enough! They were perfect! Such a wonderful fit! All short curvy girls our denim is here!! HOORAH! They are the Rockstar Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans and they are the most amazing fit ever!
No muffin top! No elephant ankles! Just perfect denim made to accentuate our assets, and hide our troubled areas! I love a denim on denim look always, and the contrast in these denims is simply perfect for a fun casual look! I threw on my super sassy red peep-toe flats from H&M, and grabbed my red cardigan before heading out the door in this super cute and stylish outfit of the day!
I kept my make-up simple, while part of me did want to do a red-lip, I felt it would have just looked too obvious with the red shoes and cardigans, and I hate for anything to seem too predictable in my ensembles!
If you have trouble finding the right jean for your body type, I definitely recommend trying on a pair of Rockstar Super Skinny's at Old Navy, they claim to be perfect for every body type and after my experience I totally believe it!
Rockstar Denim,

CLP India is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Light and Power (CLP) Holdings Limited, one of the largest investor-owned power businesses in Asia. CLP entered the Indian power market in 2002 and has since expanded its portfolio to over 3,000 MW, comprising supercritical coal, gas-fired, wind and solar power plants.
CLP's journey in India started when it acquired a stake in the 655 MW gas-powered Paguthan combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in Bharuch, Gujarat. The plant has received NOSA 5-star accreditation for safety, an ISO 14001 certification for its environment conservation initiatives, and "NOSCAR" company status for occupational risk management. Apart from the Paguthan gas power plant, CLP India operates a 1,320 MW supercritical coal-fired power plant located in Jhajjar, Haryana.
Greening its portfolio
CLP's climate change journey began in 2004 with the introduction of the Climate Vision 2050, its manifesto on climate change. Over the years, CLP's commitment and the associated targets have been reviewed several times to ensure that they are adequately progressive and can contribute to the transition to a low carbon future. In 2017, CLP announced a set of new targets for carbon emissions intensity, and renewable and non-carbon emitting energy capacities. CLP's energy transition targets for 2030 include increasing its renewable and non-carbon portfolio by 30 per cent and 40 per cent respectively.
CLP India is aligned with the parent company's commitments and is working towards expanding its renewable energy portfolio as it transitions towards a low-carbon future. Currently, CLP India has about 1,100 MW of renewable power projects, which account for a third of the company's total power portfolio of over 3,000 MW.
CLP India commissioned its first wind energy plant at Khandke in Maharashtra in 2009 and it is one of the largest Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in the Indian wind industry, with operational wind assets in six states. CLP India has long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with state discoms instead of short-term third-party agreements for selling wind power generated from these wind projects. This strategy has been useful in improving the credit profile of the company among lending institutions, which prefer a predictable revenue flow typically from government-backed utilities.
Encouraged by the unprecedented growth in the Indian solar segment, CLP India forayed into the solar segment in 2016 by signing an agreement with Suzlon Energy to buy 49 per cent stake in SE Solar, a special purpose vehicle set up for implementing the 100 MW Veltoor solar power project in Telangana. Similar to its practice in the wind power segment, CLP India signed a 25-year PPA with state discom, Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company, for this solar project. CLP India further strengthened its position in the Indian solar sector, by signing an agreement with Suzlon for two additional solar projects of 50 MW and 20 MW in Dhule, Maharashtra. It has agreed to acquire 49 per cent stake in Gale Solar arms Limited and Tornado Solar farms Limited, the two special purpose vehicles (SPV) set-up by Suzlon.
Measured steps
While no new wind project has been commissioned by CLP India since 2015, possibly due to the changing market dynamics, the company plans to participate in the future auctions. This is most likely an outcome of the stabilisation of wind tariffs and resolution of issues related to competitive bidding. However, for solar, it prefers acquiring operational projects instead of participating in the auctions owing to rapid fluctuations in the segment. The company's present stand regarding new asset development is no different from its usual stance of "playing safe". The company has been known for its policy of security over expansion. CLP India is not aggressive in expanding its portfolio and chooses to wait for the market to stabilise before taking on new projects.
The parent company, the CLP Group, is one of the key power utilities in China with a major presence in transmission. The Indian subsidiary is also now exploring opportunities in this space. It is participating actively in the ongoing tenders for the expansion of the Green Energy Corridors project as well as the interstate transmission system. It is also looking for acquisition opportunities in the transmission segment.
Quality certification
The Veltoor solar power project made history recently when it became the first project in the world to get a solar photovoltaic (PV) project quality certificate from DNV GL. This quality certificate was awarded based on the service specification DNV GL SE 0078, which incidentally is the only global certification guideline for solar PV projects.
This certificate is a testimony to CLP India's highest-quality and operational standards across all facets of its work. It certifies all requisite safety features and technical capabilities of the project along with its compliance with global standards.
CLP India has always been a trendsetter and has led several innovations. CLP India was the first in the industry to announce a corporate green bond issuance from South Asia and Southeast Asia. It raised Rs 6 billion from green bonds to secure capital expenditure for its renewable energy projects in 2015. It was also the first power company in India to issue an asset-specific bond for its coal-fired plant in Haryana.
Being one of the largest IPPs in the wind segment, CLP India has a lot to gain from the improving market dynamics. The company's slow and steady rule works in its favour. Its plan to participate in the auctions when tariffs have stabilised and become more realistic, unlike some of its aggressive peers, is an example. Its stand to not participate in the solar auctions is also a testament to this fact.
Going forward, CLP India intends to keep a close watch on both the generation and transmission markets, and remain cautious while bidding. The company's safe approach towards expanding its portfolio combined with a more favourable regulatory environment will keep its balance sheets healthy even if it is not among the top players in the Indian power market.

As our world experiences great changes, so do mechanisms and machines. Scientists and engineers work hard to improve every single industry and create the best conditions for every innovation.
Today, we will talk about linear actuators, their definition and the principle of work. Those tools can operate various engines and complicated technological construction.
Linear Actuators
First of all, let us define what a linear actuator is. As you know, the motion within an electric motor is circular. Talking about a linear actuator we mean a completely different thing, when the motion is generated in a straight line.
The field of application for those tools is wide. Linear actuators are used in simple machines and complex industrial technologies. Even the printer standing next to your PC is built using a linear actuator. Those tools may differ in prices and capabilities, but each of them finds its own place on the market.
Hydraulic Actuators and Their Principle of Work
Hydraulic actuators, along with pneumatic and electric types, are representatives of linear actuators. They are called hydraulic because of the hydraulic hollow cylinder used as a core element of the construction. It produces the linear motion. A special piston in the cylinder is responsible for generating force as a result of applied pressure. In turn, the force can be used to move objects or other elements of the mechanism.
Hydraulic linear actuators provide the possibility to fully control the displacements. The line of movement is defined precisely by its axis.
The Advantages of Hydraulic Actuators
Hydraulic actuators find their best application as tools for basic motion. More complex movements might require a different type of tool.
To understand whether they are suitable for your purposes, let's see their key advantages:
- Ability to reach high forces
This is the most important feature of a hydraulic actuator. These small actuators are able to reach forces ranging from 66.000 kN to 190.000 kN.
- Clear design
Many engineers prefer using these actuators because of their simple design. Here, technology is easy and understandable, so this may be a way to simplify the whole process.
- Great loads
The design of the mechanism allows handling extremely high loads without damage. When there is a need for high forces, this is a great advantage.
- Good prices
The prices for hydraulic actuators are quite reasonable and comparatively low. The price-quality ratio makes them great value.
Hydraulic linear actuators can solve many tasks and improve the technological processes greatly. Find one that fits your needs best and enjoy the results!

Finally, Done With The Session…. December 18, 2012Posted by Aman.... in Random Stuff.
add a comment
And not just this one , which started on this weekend but from the last one too that did happen at Colombo.
This session was a little unusual one for two reasons. One, it was going to get started on a weekend. I can't recall that I have done it ever for a new session. I have taken sessions on the weekends but it would be mostly an extension or just a one day session. But this one was a new session and that was a little strange to start it of on Saturday. The second thing was the module itself. Though the module that I was going to handle was the one which I have taught many many times already but from the past few weeks, I hadn't touched it at all as I was doing completely different modules. So though I did remember what it had, it was a little difficult to get into the flow. It's finished now and also got finished with a very good rating but still, I am not very much satisfied with my work.
I may add another point for the unusual session and that would be that it did happen at Mumabi, a place where I haven't travelled much (about 4 times only excluding this trip) and TBH, don't like it much too here. Not sure why but I just can't connect myself to this place. This time, my hotel was a little better and also it's food. Probably that was the only thing good that I experienced. As usual, I didn't go anywhere and question of sight seeing is just not there when I am in a session.
But all said and done, the delegates were very nice and friendly. It was great to discuss with them about RAC(the topic that I was delivering this week) especially as they were not from Oracle database background. There was a smile on everyone's face when they left today and also gave a very good rating to me as well. So a big thanks to the delegates and hopefully, it may happen that I shall meet them soon some time in the near future as well.
Since I haven't written about the Colombo tour so I shall just mention about it here as well and it would be in just one word, AWESOME! The company that I was visiting was not a new one for me since I had visited them already before in this year for two weeks. There were some familiar faces and also some new faces in the session but the warmth of the welcome, hospitality was just beyond words. The guys took extreme care of me and also they were very happy from the module, which is a bigger satisfaction for me given that this was the reason that I was there, to make them understand the module. At the end of the week, the delegates brought a very nice gift for me which was completely not needed but still I accepted it as a token of their appreciation for my work! Thanks so much everyone. It was really really great to be back there and spend some time talking about Oracle and other topics and also for all the hospitality, truly appreciate it and can't wait to be back again soon!
So finally, the session is finished and now it's going to be traveling time. I have asked the cab to come at 4pm and I am just hoping that he won't be late. I just want to get to the airport and buy two things, one a big cup of coffee and two, a tablet for headache as it is killing me. After that, I just want to get some sleep. Hope it happens in the order I have mentioned it else it would be a real tough job to travel. Hope travel gods would be a little kind over me!
So Damn Tired…. December 6, 2012Posted by Aman.... in Random Stuff.

I am sitting in the session of mine while the delegates are doing the lab session. It's the 4th day of the session which means, there is just one more day to go next. So far, about the class, it's going on and it's worth to mention that this module is one of the most toughest ones and whenever I deliver it, it takes a lot out of me , both mentally and physically. And it's not a very good stay also that I have got this time neither the travel was(and shall be) any better at all. I had to take the first flight from Delhi to Chennai and after a 3 hour long wait there, the next flight was to Colombo and guess at what time, 1am in the morning! Yes 1am, I am not kidding. I reached at Colombo at 2:30am and at my hotel at about 4:30am and had to start the session at 9am. I can't say it enough that how tough it was and since then, the fatigue somehow , hasn't completely gone yet and every day, after the session, I am just so burnt out. The same itinerary is for the return flight as well , actually on the departure, it's 3am when I shall have my flight back to Chennai and then would wait there for 3 hours before to get back to Delhi. And that's not the only issue. The hotel stay also had issues. For the first two days, I got the room(and booking) at Renuka Hotel. It was a much recommended hotel, at various sites and also from the people. But it's just not worth the price they are charging. The hotel is not having anything special compared to any other hotels around. The wi-fi is paid, food is okay and there is a huge sound pollution as it's on the road itself. After two days, since Renuka didn't have free rooms, I had to shift and now I went to Global Towers. I still can't access any wifi as it's paid and the room is also very tiny but I had stayed here before and the food is okay, so it's still better than Renuka. I had stayed here at Taj Samudra as well few years back but thanks to the cost cuttings, it's not there anymore in the list to choose. I am just so mad at the moment from all these things . May be the fatigue and tiredness of the work was just not enough to make me go crazy.
Anyways, there is still 1.5 days of work is there in front of me and I really am not able to make myself get up and start speaking. But you got to do what you got to do. So doesn't matter what, I shall have to finish the day's work. A cup of coffee/tea would had been really helpful at this time but that's also out of the question at the moment. Why? Didn't I tell you that there is no vending machine in this customer site and also, that the "hot" tea/coffee , by the time it reaches to me, is not better than a "cold" tea/coffee! Funny, no it isn't!

A huge congratulations are in order!
We owe a huge congratulations to the amazing Glozell who has today become a mother for the very first time! The YouTube star and green queen announced the arrival of baby, who was born via a surrogate mother on Thursday 4th August.
Sharing an adorable photograph on social media, Glozell uploaded a photograph of the brand new baby girl in her surrogate mother's arms.
EXCLUSIVE: Congrats to @GloZell on the Thursday birth of daughter O'Zell Gloriana De! https://t.co/osWmCiDy6S pic.twitter.com/OqyczkqH1T— People Babies (@PEOPLEbabies) August 5, 2016
And when Glozell also tweeted out the name of the new bundle of joy, we couldn't help but do a little "awww". That's right, Glozell has named her baby girl O'Zell Gloriana De! Clearly with a name just like mother's, she's going to grow up to be one awesome little lady.
Earlier this year Glozell opened up about her struggle to become a mother and how she had turned to surrogacy to help fulfil her desire to be a parent. Speaking on World Book Day, Glozell spoke about how important it was for her to write a book which showcased her journey from childhood through to starting a channel and how important it was for her to empower people. Now it seems she can add a brand new chapter!
Here at We The Unicorns we're sending all our love to Glozell and her family- we couldn't be happier for her!

Listen to an Adele song and you will undoubtably start thinking about an ex.
It doesn't matter who you are or how your last relationship ended, the 28-year-old is like a witchcraft of emotion, using her poignant words to invade your subconscious and make you view previous relationships as if you were watching a montage from The Notebook.
(Note to self: That time you were arguing in the rain with your ex did not look anything like when Rachel McAdams jumped into Ryan Gosling's arms. Period.)
But last night, the Hello singer directed her heartfelt words towards a celebrity couple, currently going through the turmoil of a divorce – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Last night, during her second concert at Madison Square Garden, the Brit star told the sell-out crowd the A-list break-up marked an 'end of an era'.
'I need to address the elephant in the room,' she added.
Adele went onto say how she felt it was the right moment to reflect on the couples 12-year relationship, especially as she was playing 'two hours of misery'.
We hear you, Adele. We hear you.
As we look back on Brangelina's love story today, we'll be playing Adele's 'Someone Like You' on repeat, who's with us?
We're clearly taking this break-up to heart.

Christmas 2006 wasn't bad. Did all my shopping online. Every bit of it. Didn't go to one store.
Got a new iPod to replace/upgrade my one that's only a year old. Between all the hard work Gil did (thank you, Sweetie!) and my own 2,000+ songs, there are a total of 5,300 songs on it, plus videos and I still have to load my 1600 photos and my Cesar Millan podcasts.
Abby gave the dogs a whole bag of toys and treats, including this indestructible ball, which unfortunately caused them to fight probably for the first time ever -- I mean the most aggressive I've ever seen them towards each other. And Hector even fought back. I asserted my pack leader-ness, along with my calm, assertiveness, and won that battle. Took the ball away temporarily. They'll get it back tomorrow. Here is a picture of the two idiots with a toy when they were puppies:
Yesterday found me going to help out with Mom, and that was the best part of Christmas 2006 by far. Mom has these little ceramic tabletop Christmas trees. You plug them in, and they light up. Mom's 86, and she can't get down on the floor to plug the suckers, in, so of course I did it for her. She had been storing the little trees in plastic grocery bags. While I was on the floor crawling around under the dusty veranda in the living room, trying to reach the wall socket, Mom stuffed the plastic grocery bags in a drawer inside the veranda. When she opened the drawer, it was stuffed to the brim with old black & white photographs, classic Polaroids that were peeling off their heavy cardboard backers and assorted other photographic treasures. After I was done crawling and plugging, I opened the drawer back up again. Astonished, I had stumbled upon 100 photographs I'd never seen in my life. The most important ones being of ME when I was 6 months old (the photos are date-stamped October of the year I was born, and there's a baby -- must be me!). They are all taken in the Chicago suburbs where we lived at the time -- recognizable by me today because we spent all of our vacations there when we were growing up. Peppered in are photos of my brothers, my parents, and the house at Lake Como in Wisconsin. I hollered to Mom, who by then was in the kitchen, "CAN I BORROW THESE?!" She said, "Whaaaa?" I carried the photos into the kitchen. "Can I borrow these? I have this machine Mom, it copies photos. It's called a scanner. I want to scan the photos and then I'll bring them all back to you." "You want to copy them." She said, understanding about the scanner. "Yes." "Yes." she said. Of all the "presents" I could've gotten this weekend for Christmas 2006, this was something I never asked for, never expected, never would have thought to ask for. The best kind of gift.
Bummer though, when I got home, I found out our scanner is broken. I ordered a replacement, but it won't arrive in time to scan the photos and put them on CDs for my two brothers whom I'm getting together with on Wednesday night. We always get together between Christmas and New Year's. Me, my brothers, Mom, and my 6 nieces and nephews. This year, we decided not to exchange gifts for the first time ever. I got Mom something, but that's it. Mom insists on giving everybody money, oh well what can ya do? This CD idea was to be a special gift from me to them, as the archivist, historian and genaeologist of the family. Ah well, I will just have to mail them the CDs later on.
Today was great -- worked on k2k9.com for hours and hours. Got a lot of great stuff written and posted. Then I cleaned the house in preparation for the kids and Ben, the only real little kid in our midst. Watched a couple of episodes of All My Children on DVR, and then everyone arrived and we opened presents and ate finger foods, including shrimp cocktail, cheese & crackers and deviled eggs.
When I was at Mom's yesterday, she told me she was making her famous deviled eggs to bring over to my sister-in-law's for Christmas appetizer. So, today when I was preparing our snacks, I realized I had to carry out this tradition. I know Mom's recipe for her famous deviled egg. In fact, we need to now call them Mook's Famous Deviled Eggs. (Mook is my mother's nickname -- it comes from when she was a little girl and couldn't say "milk". She said "mook" and it stuck -- people address her as Mook to this day.) Here is a picture of Mom, the first person to get a ride in my new car:

By the end of the day you should have at least 2574 GOO to unlock all ten personal prizes.
Day 9 of 35
-- event ends on Nov 7th!

A blog dedicated to the popular mobile game, The Simpsons: Tapped Out
For those of you would would like to know how much GOO you need to collect each day to unlock all ten personal prizes, check the new widget on the sidebar of the site. Every day I will update this counter to let you know if you're making good progress.
The update launched on October 1st, but the first day was spent building the Gypsy Fortune Teller Shop. After that was built then players could start earning GOO. This leaves you with 35 days to collect 10,000 GOO. When you divide those numbers you get (rounded up) 286 GOO. When you multiply that number by the number of GOO collecting days that have passed, you get an estimate of where your current GOO count should be if you wish to collect all ten personal prizes.
I posted on another thread that, if you have 100 active friends and you visit them all daily, you will collect 800 goo every day. I personally have been able to collect over 1000 goo per day so far.
I have 34 out of 100 friends who have no GOO by the end of 10-03. Should I start removing them to make way for players looking to be added, or wait to see if they join the Halloween event in the next few days? What would you Tappers do?
You dont need to have 834 GOO within today. The first 24 hours it wasn't possible to earn GOO. Effectively we had 28 hours time. So if you have now 330 GOO, you will be in time to get all ten items. With the old cementary you will have an extra source for ghosts.

As a current resident of Chattanooga, I am having a very angry day and I am not sure how let it out. As you might have seen on the national news, we recently had Muslim terrorist shoot and kill five people here. Having served in Iraq and seeing the utter misery that the people live in, I was forgiving of their ignorance of America and why they saw us as the enemy. This POS that killed these military personnel came from Kuwait and lived here for years, so it is tough to provide any quarter to this type of person. I was extremely happy to know that the police put this animal down and that we won't have to listen to any BS from his lawyer about him being misguided or tricked.
I have so many angry feelings toward the Muslim population in this country that I know are unfair and could be considered stereotyping, but since they refuse to denounce Muslim terrorism I have zero use for them. If I am to be a true American and accepting of the melting pot meme, then how do I reconcile these repeated acts of pure evil from a single group of people against the citizens of America. It isn't like it has been a single act or a limited sect of the group, but it has been multiple acts from many different places. But, they all have two things in common, they are carried out by Muslim and directed at innocent people.
I am having strong feelings of retribution and hatred for this group of people. I am tired of the media outpouring of sympathy for the perpetrators. Saying it is a limited group, they are just misunderstood and better ideas will solve this problem. It a requirement of the Muslim religion to kill non-believers if they don't convert, so what is there to misunderstand. I have had enough of the BS. Many may considered this hate speech for voicing my personal feelings, but I have seen the pain and death up close and am fed up with one group's ability to cause death to innocent people.
And why would my speech anymore hateful than theirs? The funny thing is that this terrorist religion kills more of its own believers than any outside group does, but they refuse to acknowledge this fact. They continue promote the killing of innocents and to seek opportunities to kill Americans and wipe Israel from the face of the Earth. Sounds pretty hateful and not just one person's feelings? Does this sound like a religion of peace? Does this sound like people that can be reasoned with? Enough is enough.
I am angry and frustrated. I don't know the answer, but I do know that I am done with allowing a small group to cow us with the false memes of religious freedom and political correctness. If you are not a terrorist, then get your house in order and put down the rabid dogs in your yard.
Let me have it, how I am not suppose to say these things and that I am wrong.

Exactly 15 years and 12 days ago, a series of terror attacks in Manhattan, New York occurred. The event was a huge concussion not only for America, but for the whole world. According to wikipedia, "The attacks killed 2,996 people and injured over 6,000 others and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage and $3 trillion in total costs."
Today in english class, we watched a documentary called "9/11". It is a 2 hour long film, showing the attacks from the point of view of firemen. The filmmakers were actually shooting a material about Tony Benetatos, a probationary firefighter from FDNY. The 11th of September 2001, was just supposed to be another day full of practice, but what happened later was never expected by anyone. This happening will forever stay in the memories of the survivors.
The film contains real footage of the airplanes crashing into the towers, something which has only been caught on tape by maybe two other people. It is a great source to learn what really happened and realize what terror and hatred does to our world.

The excellent start to 2018 continues as multiple markets continue to trend well. Stocks, in particular, continue to make new highs as the bull market continues. The dollar remains weak, as do interest rate futures, while commodities are mixed.
Stocks continue their epic run and have made new all-time highs once again this week. Sentiment remains extremely bullish but slightly lower than it's recent bullish extremes. Given the advance seen so far this month, it will take a steep correction for the markets not to register a bullish January, which, based on the January barometer, points to a full year of gains for stocks.
The Dax, which has been the weakest of late of the four stock indexes we trade at LS Trader looks poised to breakout to new all-time highs this week. This week the Dax reached levels not seen since early November.
The Crude Oil markets made new highs for the current move on Monday but have eased during the week, but remain in strong uptrends. It's possible that we may see further corrective price action, but for now, the markets remain above support. Commercials now have a record net short position according to COT data.
Gold printed its highest price since September but also eased as the week progressed. Similar price action has been seen in the other metals markets.
Lumber prices made their highest print since 1993 as the bull market continues. Sugar has seen some weakness but should find support from nearby levels, and last week's low at 13.02 may hold. Commercials are near an all-time net long position. Bullish sentiment has also fallen to low levels, but have yet to decline to single figures, where the market often bottoms out.
It's looking increasingly likely that the Euro has put in its low for January. It will take a move back below 1.1964 to negate that, which is still possible given that we still have eight trading days left this month. If that is the case, then the January effect suggests that the low for the Euro may be in for the year. Time will of course tell, and it is possible that last week's high at 1.2369 may also mark the high for the month and the year if we get sufficient weakness over the rest of the month. Either way, this is a pattern well worth watching due to its predictive effect for the whole year.
The British Pound has risen to its highest level since Brexit and is now trading above the lows that were seen in the weeks before Brexit.
Interest rate futures
The long-term trend is down for all five interest rate futures markets that we trade at LS Trader. This week saw a bit of a bounce in some of these markets followed by a resumption of weakness and new lows. The long bond fell to its lowest level since March last year.
The 5 Year T-Note is now at it's lowest level since April 2010 and the 10 Year T-Note since July 2011. The only one of the five that has yet to break down is the UK Long Gilt, and a test of support looks likely this week.
Good trading
Phil Seaton

Update Of Unrivaled Precedence
"Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are. "
~Bertold Brecht
My blog has gone through several renditions throughout its existence, the format for Blogger was too loose for my taste, but allowed expressive creativity. The community that Blogger had was one that limited full publicity for a new-comer such as myself and the only way to get any kind was to advertise the living heck out of it. (It's inanimate, I know…)
WordPress was the golden ticket into getting others to even take a slight glimpse of what I had to say. The community was rich, full of new to tenured Bloggers that would give their time to read the vast number of posts solely for the support they would want to have. The format was rich, smooth, and easy to use and by the time I was done with the registration I was too antsy to publish it.
The theme was cool, but it felt as if I was missing an important detail…
So I decided that perhaps it was time to clean-out the old layout and update the face of Better With A pen. I'm here to ask–which one of these snazzy themes would look best for my blog?
- Quintus
- Greyzed
- Comet
- Monochrome
- Neo-Sapien (Now mind this is only conceptual, so what you see may not be how it will look in it's development)
- Fadtastic
- Rounded

Change it Around (Part I)
This post may contain affiliate links.
(The following post is about our New Year's Eve sit-down-dinner party in correlation with my Commandments #1 through 5.)
Hospitality is not a word to fear! I used to think of hospitality as a "potluck dish," but I now know it is far more than that. It is a gift I have – and a gift I am to use (C #1)! Most recently, my passion for hospitality led to this fun New Year's Party that my husband and I hosted a week ago. Let's just call it: Change it Around!
Our "Change it Around" party was a success! But much of that success was because I was organized, having planned ahead and delegated (C #2). I put a lot of thought into who would come, what the menu would be, I organized the idea of "changing the seating around for every course," and considered just how we would do this (in a rather small, cramped setting.) I made a lot of lists that kept me on track, planned out the seating and delegated the appetizers, soup, salad, and pizza, snacks & dessert for the kids.
The table setting was a blast (C #3). Using everything that I already had (I'm not big into having to purchase "new" for every party, only to impress others and put a big dent in my budget!), we put two tables together with matching tablecloths, keeping the dishes and centerpieces with a fun NYE theme and pretty candles. We played lively music all night long, a notch higher in volume than normal (which we learned to do for larger group parties.)
I gave up perfectionism a long time ago (C #4). I have to remind myself that parties may not flow perfectly, and one might find it easy to critique or criticize it afterward. Although I do evaluate and think of things that I could do differently, I stick with this belief: If everyone has a good time – It's a Success!
There's been so much curiosity from readers regarding what questions we asked our guests that night! I think people so much want to create a fun, lively atmosphere – and I'm telling you, that is important, but conversation is where it is at! (C #5) You can have delicious food and horrible company – and what you walk away with is remembering the not-so-great company – and not even the yummy meal!
So for my readers, who keep checking back because they so want to know what we talked about – here is what you've been waiting for! The big conversation questions!!
We started our evening off with appetizers and drinks, where everyone mingled freely and enjoyed catching up. For our first course (Italian soup – brought by one of the guests), we seated our guests sitting by their spouses (immersing single people in between). No conversation starter was used for this course.
All the ladies were so helpful and they each had their own job. The person who brought the course would serve, and then help bus the dishes. A couple other gals took on the job of taking my seating chart and moving place cards to the "new spot," as the guests hung onto to their cloth napkins and glasses. (Did you know that you can take a Sharpie marker and put names on the bases of the glasses? It wipes off easily after washing.)
The next course started off with yummy salad (which I also delegated to another wonderful cook!), as all the men sat at one end, and the women at the other. Our first conversation starter took place: What is your middle name, and how did you get it? Mmm, many of us thought we knew "everything" about each other (some of our friendships going back 25 years!) Nope – this conversation starter caused a lot of laughter as unique stories were shared.
Changing it around – again – we then moved to the main course, where I served yummy homemade linguicia lasagna, and scrumptious dill bread. Our conversation starter was a little more serious this time as my husband asked the group: Who in your growing up years (through age 12) was the most influential in your life? Way more serious, this was a joyous time, but also very contemplative, as every person came from such different backgrounds. In the end we realized that the most influential individuals in our lives were evenly split between the sexes (female and male).
My husband and I both realized that the questions we asked went deep into that person's history implying, "What made you – you?" and even deeper, "Where did you come from?"
Last summer I had a dinner party for ladies, and recently one of the ladies commented to me about how special that part of the evening was for her, because even the "quietest person" got to share, not overshadowed by the more dominant personalities. The wonderful thing about conversation starters is that everyone gets to respond. My husband and I learned early on in our marriage (through a book, though we can't remember the name!) to use this technique with our guests.
Changing it around – one last time – we moved again (again, sitting by someone new) and indulged in apple cake with hot custard on top.
For hours we connected – kept it real, opened up – all by sharing in a safe, fun atmosphere with each other. As I mentioned before, Paul and I thought this was our most unique party ever.
We don't think we could ever re-create it – so we won't even try.
(Please stay tuned for my upcoming post, Change it Around – Part II using Commandments #6 through 10)

Adult Swim's critically acclaimed series Rick and Morty secured its first ever Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. Deemed what a "modern day hit" looks like, Rick and Morty was the #1 comedy across all of television in 2017 with millennials and has become a multi-platform sensation not just on television, but across digital, gaming, livestreaming, retail, and fan experiences.

In a perfect world, we would all wake up with our hair shiny, styled and ready for selfies worthy of a proud "I woke up like this" caption. Reality, though, sings a different tune. Kinks, frizz, dullness, and difficulty to grow, our hair can be fussy and stubborn. Through the years, I have paid attention to what works, what doesn't and narrowed down a list of 5 simple things you can do to ensure your hair stays happy, healthy and growing.
- Use Shampoo Minimally
Is is necessary for our health and hygiene to stay clean from our head to our toes. However, many shampoos on the market are crammed with chemicals and ingredients that are harmful to our health in the short and long term. Many of the shampoos contain sulfates and chemicals that are harmful to our bodies and the fibers of our hair. Many shampoos cause clogging of pores and strip the hair of its natural oils. Reversing these effects can take years to fix. By using an a all natural, sulfate free shampoo, you can help your hair stay natural and healthy. Use a minimal amount of shampoo in the shower, only the necessary amount to clean your scalp and try to avoid shampooing every single day.
2. Use A Heat Protectant
With continual photo shoots, business meetings, dates, or going out with friends, there always tends to be some reason most days my hair cannot be in a sloppy bun on the top of my head. Cutting the length can make styling easier, but there is still many times when heat styling is simply unavoidable. On these days, don't fret. Using a heat protector before blow drying, curling or straightening your hair can ensure that you are protecting the fragile strands of your hair. Don't skimp on quality, and reah for a brand with natural and quality ingredients.
3. Use Oil Masks
Coconut, Argan, Castor, Almond, and Jojoba oil are some of the most common oils used for hair masks. Adding an oil to the surface of your hair can add strength and shine to your strands. With so much heat and sun exposure in our daily lives, as well as harsh shampoo and chemicals, it is easy for our hair to get stripped of these oils. Try using a natural oil for a simple remedy to dull or dry hair. This is an all-natural way to give your hair a quick boost. If done regularly, it can even aid to rapidly increase your hair growth.
4. Brush Your Hair Regularly
Brushing your hair improves circulation to your scalp and exfoliation of the scalp which can aid in hair growth and overall health from the root to the tip. Brushing your hair also helps spread the oils from the root of the hair down to the ends that tend to be more dry. These natural oils are necessary for hair health and growth, so spreading these oils down from the roots to the body of your hair can aid in strength and shine, and ensure no tangles or kinks cut the frmo the length.
5. Take Vitamins & Maintain a Healthy Diet
Like most things in life, health stems from the inside out. The shine and growth of our hair can be directly attributed to the health of our bodies. Vitamins, minerals, and oils can be added into our diet to supplement the growth and overall health of our hair. Biotin, Vitamin E, Collagen, Flax Oil, and Folic Acid are all commonly used for increasing hair growth. With discretion, it may be beneficial to consider using a vitamin for healthy hair growth. Maintaining a healthy diet in leafy greens, fruits and veggies has many benefits to hair growth as well because of the natural source of vitamins that they contain.

The Post and Courier of Charleston, S.C., with a staff of about 80 and a daily circulation of 85,000, won the most prestigious of the Pulitzer Prizes for journalism awarded on Monday, for a series on the high number of deaths resulting from domestic abuse in the state.
The series, titled "Till Death Do Us Part," was awarded the gold medal for public service, the first Pulitzer the paper has won since 1925. It is the first time in five years that the prize has gone to such a small newspaper.
The New York Times won in the international reporting category for "courageous front-line reporting and vivid human stories" on the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The newspaper's coverage was the result of an expansive and dangerous effort. It included foreign correspondents, science writers and a video journalist (the paper's winning entry included two online videos). The photographer Daniel Berehulak won the award for feature photography for a series of poignant portraits, shot across months, documenting Ebola's deadly spread in West Africa.
The Times also won the prize for investigative reporting, for a series by Eric Lipton on aggressive efforts by lobbyists and lawyers to push state attorneys general to drop investigations, change policies, negotiate favorable settlements or pressure federal regulators to benefit their clients. It shared the prize with The Wall Street Journal, which won for a project that revealed to Americans previously confidential data "on the motivations and practices of their health care providers."
The Los Angeles Times won two Pulitzers. Diana Marcum won the feature writing prize for her stories from the Central Valley of California on how the state's drought affected the lives of residents. The newspaper also won the criticism prize, for Mary McNamara's writings on television and culture.
Bloomberg News won its first Pulitzer, for explanatory journalism. It went to Zachary R. Mider, for his reporting on how American corporations dodge taxes and get away with it. Speaking in the newsroom on Monday, Matthew Winkler, the emeritus editor in chief, said that when he told the company's founder, Michael R. Bloomberg, that Bloomberg News had won its first Pulitzer, Mr. Bloomberg replied, partly in jest, "It's about time."
The Seattle Times won the breaking news award, for its account of a deadly landslide, and for its follow-up reporting.
The Pulitzer Prize for fiction went to Anthony Doerr's best-selling historical novel, "All the Light We Cannot See," which unfolds in Europe during World War II, and follows a blind French girl who joins the resistance movement and an orphaned German boy who is swept up in the Nazi occupation. Mr. Doerr's novel was a finalist for the National Book Award.
In general nonfiction, the prize went to "The Sixth Extinction," by Elizabeth Kolbert, which explores how climate change is accelerating the mass extinction of species. The drama prize went to "Between Riverside and Crazy" by Stephen Adly Guirgis.
2015 Pulitzer Prize Winners in Journalism, Letters, Drama and Music
The prizes, which are administered at Columbia University, were announced on Monday.
The winning series on domestic abuse by The Post and Courier, its executive editor, Mitch Pugh, said in an interview, began when reporters saw annual statistics that ranked South Carolina the No. 1 state in the country in the rate of women killed by men.
"The discussion around the table in the newsroom was why is that," Mr. Pugh said. "We've written about it every year, but we've never done the deep dive."
That prompted an eight-month investigation, driven by a body of data that sought to establish what the deaths might have in common. "This series," he said, "has made women's lives in South Carolina better and safer." The State Legislature has fast-tracked legislation that seeks to remedy the problems the newspaper identified, he said.
The prize for breaking news photography went to the staff of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch for "powerful images of the despair and anger in Ferguson" after the shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, last summer. The shooting prompted protests that roiled the area for weeks.
There were roughly 1,200 journalism entries, Mike Pride, the Pulitzer administrator, said in announcing the awards, which are now in their 99th year. There were also 1,400 books, 200 music compositions and 100 plays considered.
Two categories, investigative reporting and feature writing, were opened to magazines this year, which prompted 60 additional entries. Jennifer Gonnerman was a finalist in the feature category for an article she wrote for The New Yorker on the imprisonment of a young man at the Rikers Island jail complex.

Min-Degree Constrained MST Problem: an evolutionary approach
AbstractThis work describes a genetic approach for the combinatorial optimization problem named the Min-Degree Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree (md-MST). Given a connected, undirected and weighted graph, the md-MST aims to find a minimal spanning tree that obeys an additional
lower bound (d) on the degree of each node of the tree. This problem is NP-hard and thus a suitable target for heuristics. We decided to approach the problem via evolutionary algorithms. Two novel genetic algorithms are presented differing in their representations of candidate
trees and the operations that they apply to these chromosomes. While one uses a set of node leaves randomly chosen as chromosome and enforces the construction of a complete spanning tree, the other uses a representation of the set of arcs instead. Both genetic versions perform
very favorably when compared with the best results known so far, both in terms of running time as well as in better quality solutions.

You have never gotten a DUI before, but you are well aware that the legal limit is 0.08%. You have to keep your blood alcohol concentration under that level or you could face charges.
3 reasons a guilty plea for a DUI could be a mistake
Getting pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) is an embarrassing and frightening experience. For many people, it can also be a mistake that has lasting consequences for multiple important areas of their lives.
The right approach at a DUI checkpoint is a must
In the state of South Carolina, it's legal for police to set up a DUI checkpoint. As scary as it may be, when you take the right approach, you put yourself in position to avoid an arrest.
Vacation injuries: Avoid injuries while away from home
Injuries can happen anywhere and at any time, even when you're hoping to enjoy a lovely vacation away from home. Vacations and holidays tend to lead to more mishaps than a typical day, because people want to try new things and participate in special activities. For example, someone heading to the coast might try parasailing or surfing, ending up with an injury.
DUIs and speeding: Reckless behaviors threaten your license
Speeding and DUIs are some of the most common moving violations in the U.S. Both have the potential to threaten your license, especially if you are speeding while intoxicated.

The workshop includes information and practical sessions about bowel cancer and bowel screening; the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program; who should screen; and effective techniques for talking about screening with your patients.
Workshop Aim:
To introduce participants to various mediums of cultural expression used by Aboriginal people including dance, music, art and symbolism.
Additionally, the workshop provides an underlying message of working as a team to achieve a common goal.
Workshop Overview:
The Indigenous War Cry, recently led by NRL Superstar Greg Inglis during the NRL All Stars match, is a cultural expression of pride, history, and resilience for Indigenous Australians.
This workshop will enable participants to explore the symbolism used within the dance, interpret the Dreaming stories associated with the war cry and actively participate in contemporary form of Indigenous artistic expression.
Key to the success of the War Cry are underlying principles of effective communication, working coherently as a team, and striving toward a common goal. Participants can take these key principles back into their workplace and use them as a foundation for delivering an effective service to Aboriginal people.

Censoring the Word
Distributed for Seagull Books
128 pages | 8 halftones | 4 1/2 x 7 1/4
The aftershocks of 9/11 and the ubiquitous 'war on terror' have given new licence to censors of all stripes; 'national security' is once again invoked to justify the clipping of the coinage of civil liberties, while the rise of various forms of religious extremism is inhibiting some people's willingness to speak their minds. Censorship has not only not gone away, it is taking on new forms.
Before we can understand the means and motives of censorship, we must first know what free expression is and how it has come to constitute one of our most fundamental rights.
What are the 'classic' arguments for freedom of expression? Are these arguments still valid today? Was freedom of expression ever claimed as an absolute right? Is the state still an agent of censorship? Or has its place been taken by vast, unaccountable corporate interests?
These are just a few of the questions raised in this elegant and incisive essay at the beginning of a new century and, possibly, a new dispensation governing our right to freely express our opinions.
