I am positively obsessed with the designs of Armor sans Anguish. Incredibly romantic and feminine, I am coveting one of the Hopeless Romantic Tops pictured here. Handcrafted from recycled wool, cashmere, angora, and mohair, the tops are incredibly versatile and can easily be dressed up or down. The best part is you can customize them...choose a color, size, and style and within weeks...you wil

She takes the biscuit, she really does. She rabbits on about not interfering. No apology for Mr Green. She just allows her permanent secretary to do his stuff so long as he doesn't tell her anything. That way she can say she isn't "controlling things in a Stalinist way".The woman is a shambles and must go for all our democratic sakes.BBC Andrew Marr Show

Artist on the Move!Pop Singer and Folk Artist Brett DennenNEW ALBUM: It seems like just yesterday that Brett released 2006's So Much More, but it's already been two years during which time the artist (who turns 29 years-old in six days) toured extensively and worked on an album's worth of new material. Dennon just released Hope for the Hopeless, a highly recommended LP with exciting new material.

North Carolina singer/songwriter Brett Dennen has released his new album Hope For the Hopeless today.  The first single off the album, "Make You Crazy", features a guest appearance by Afrobeat superstar Femi Kuti.  The video for that track will feature Kuti as well as actress/singer Many Moore.Dennen has a mini-tour planned to promote Hope For the Hopeless.  Unfortunately, there are no Canadia

The ‘Drilla From Wasilla‘ — Is the biggest joke on America since Indiana’s Dan Quayle in 1988. Anyone supporting her is glorifying willful ignorance. The more I get to know Sarah Palin (Via TV), the more I think McCain’s act of choosing a vice-presidential running mate, was like plucking a cheerleader out of dance routine — [...]

Okay, I may have watched the BBC's Pride & Prejudice to death (along with the inferior recent version) but, I've only seen snippets of Sense & Sensibility. I once had a whopping great girl crush on Kate Winslet but the duck faced Emma Thompson really prevented me from giving Sense the full watch. OBVIOUSLY I missed the bits when he of the dark velvet voice, Alan Rickman filled the screen

Confucius mentioned that if a person is not keen on listening, more preaching would only turn the good intention into self disgrace.It definitely makes a big difference if the lecturer is respected by the person.In case of the person not respecting the good will, why bother to continue?We have to learn to let go of things to face the reality that not everyone will come to sense and to accept the f

So claims a Canadian writer, saying that English men are “repressed homosexuals, drunkards or woman haters” after her experiences. And so is making a television drama out of it. Well, maybe, Leah McLaren, it is you that’s the problem. Either: (a) you have terrible taste in men, or (b) the good men just don’t like you. Or both.

Spitting Image had a sketch where then shadow cabinet members Michael Foot, Roy Hattersley, Neil Kinnock and Denis Healey sing about how "hopeless" and "p*sspoor" they are.I was reminded of this sketch when I read a post by Guido Fawkes about the Labour Party's Crewe by-election leaflet, which is also on the Crewe Labour candidate Tamisn Dunwoody's website.The website saysLocal residents are asking the question - who is Edward Timpson? Apparently he has been a candidate for 12 months, but no one in the town has heard much from him.All we know about his is he waffles lots, wants to cut the funding going to our schools, has no idea how to tackle crime and lives in a big mansion house on the other side of Tarporley. 1. Which local residents are asking this?2. What evidence to you have he waff

Breaking up can be very emotionally devastating for a woman and very often, the only question that occupies your mind is “How can i get my ex boyfriend back?” Unfortunately, when women are under this negative emotional state, they will usually do the wrong things that will push their boyfriends further away from them.

Tim and Lucy used to be a very loving couple who are admired by many of their friends. Unfortunately, Tim started feeling a bit bored and restless. He wanted something more and decided to seek some excitement. In the end, he did something that he shouldn’t have done, as he couldn’t resist temptation. He had [...]

LAPD Chief William Bratton has no hope for a city councilman Dennis Zine law’s protecting celebrities from paparazzi. Such a law – one we’ve dubbed the “Leave Britney Alone” law, which aims to create a “personal safety zone” for registered celebs – would be too ambiguous and impossible to enforce. Rather, he suggests using existing [...]

A CEO buddy of mine has an excellent saying. He’s always telling his employees “Hope is not a strategy”. I think he’s a pretty good CEO, but I guess I might wonder how well his company is doing if he’s constantly telling his employees to stop hoping. In all seriousness, he’s got a point. How often [...]

Sometimes you have to break from the crowd and do a little dance.

When Esmeralda Lucinda Goochie Von Bogg-Stuppor gave birth to her only daughter, Llwaxanna, on October 31st, 1587, in a cave of the Carpathian Mountains, only one person was with her. She was known in Romania as Gussie Van Eldir-Gottenburg, in England as Elizabeth Barrington, and the Vatican as Sister Mary Florence, a nun of the Order Of Hopeless Lost Cause. As I have researched the archives during my last trip in Turin and Rome, I found some references dating from the time of Pope Julius II (1503-13). Very little is known where she came from. Some of the parchments are time worn and fragile. It was difficult to tell with any certainty, when or where she was born. There are some entries by Pope Julius II and his successor Leo X of a friend called Gussie. Much of the text was in Romanian, and if it hadn’t been for the translator, Father Brian McBryan, I never could have found the little information I have uncovered. He speaks 16 languages and claims to dream in every single one of

I read with great interest an article posted by HarakahDaily today. It is about events that had transpired on the eve of our 50th year of independence involving Malaysian Malay (Melayu) Muslim youths. Yes, our ‘mat saleh’ (westerner) wannabe Malaysian Malay teenagers! :-(HarakahDaily was not making the story up. It is true. We can see that every single day nowadays. Our Malaysian Malay Muslim teenagers are really lost in limbo believing that that they are some ‘mat salehs’, free to do whatever they like. Sex, alcohol and drugs are nothing to them. They are pleasures that our Malaysian Malay teenagers could not live without nowadays. Enemies of Islam would have been proud and happy to see that our Malaysian Malay teenagers are addicted to things that destroy the very foundation of Islam. :-(While I’m thankful that HarakahDaily is highlighting that today, I’m not too happy with the fact that they are highlighting it with mere words. If they are really serious about using the

vibes Request Hi ALL, I am requesting your merciful hearts to pray for me. I can say that I am suffering from a very very emotional distress right now to the point that i wanted to die. i even have thoughts of committing suicide. i have this friend since childhood. We are really good friends. Now we are all grown ups, he is working abroad and me just here in our place. He got separated from his girfriend, and for all those times that he is distress I am the one who is acting as his girlfriend. We are involved in sexual relationship. I was inlove with him but he said to me that he cant love me back. I was so hurt for this since I am expecting something from him. This causes me to grief. sometimes i am blaming Go why this happens. He is a good man and i cannot imagine living without him.I am praying everyday to melt his heart to make him love me. Pray for me guys to help get through this…

I despise rich bosses who make millions per year and yet don’t wish to give better benefits to the hardworking staffs.I hate asshole that fires empty promises like cannon and fool the people to work extra hours; I feel disgusted about the management who drag the promised incentives till the intern’s internship is over and they happily get over it.I feel like mocking at the poor bitch who tries too hard to brainwash everyone to think that they should work even harder when they are already at their limits. I cannot laugh at her humour when she tries to be sarcastic in her emails. I pity her for sucking up the boss and lose her integrity and by the way, she doesn’t have to stay back for overtime work like the rest of the people.I fail to understand the manager who trembles and accepts all unreasonable requests from clients. I laugh at his ignorance for proposing useless work to waste time. After all, he’s just an idiot who is always making everyone do free job for the clients. SiL

[Monday, 07 May, 2007]I slept at 4am and waked up at 9am before lazing on the bed. I managed to make it to office at 12pm sharp and waited for the meeting. It was quite pathetic for there were only five of us inclusive of James and Francis. They announced about the JTC flats, which were passed to two teams and they claimed that our company was doing rotating of “lobangs”. In fact, we might not get the JTC flats for the next batches. In the case of our small team, we might not get many flats since we had to split with other groups. When they talked about the student hostel, I was so disappointed and did not wish to be involved. I collected the cheque for Mingfa before taking bus 145 home, which was a wrong choice for it was crowded with students.My mum got an electrician to replace the spoilt power switch inside the room and I was impressed that that guy did not turn off the main switch. I dozed off for some time before beginning my work. Just right after Mingfa was asking me about

Let me preface this by saying, I hate technical support.Of any kind, but especially the support from my own company I work for. We call them the Helpless Desk. Because they truly are of no help to me.Why do I bring up such a lame topic?I spent time with three (no, four if you count the one my husband had to call first) help desks/technical support centers this week.Helpdesk number one. Remember the wine cellar I raved about a couple months ago? Still love it, sans the fact that it died on Sunday. No power. No chilling. It was in our house for a mere six weeks. Hubby was the lucky guy to call tech support that day. After 30 minutes (are you SURE it doesn't work???) duh!, they decided to replace it and ship us a new one. Hubby said dude on the line was surprisingly helpful.Helpdesk number two. Remember my most favoritest coffee machine E-V-E-R? I blogged about it in February. I've used it every day since then. It's as close as you can get to loving an inanimate object. Guess what?? It

So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Romans 7:21-24 If even the

I'm in the middle of my reservist, hence only able to catch this game with one eye open. And I'm making this really short since I'd be outta the house in half an hour. Couple of things here:Watford is really hopeless. For most, if not the entire game, they were left chasing shadows. United made several changes from the last game, and it took some time for the players to gel. But when they eventually did in the second half, they absolutely murdered Watford. I have no doubts that Watford would be relegated. None whatsoever. The only bright spark for them this season is Ben Foster....and he's on loan from us. The last couple of goals in the game were superb. We've simply got keep Larsson for at least this season. He came on as a sub and played really well. Rooney was brilliant as well. Last but not least, we ended the match with O'Shea and Brown in central midfield. Oh, and Scholes was not missed in this game at all.

Someone asked me the other day why am I writing so much about spring fashion when the temperatures are frigid outside. I had to admit that I'm a bit obsessed with spring's latest fashion trends, because they are so damn pretty! Top designers Marchesa, Valentino , Rodarte, Bottega Venete, Olda Capustina, and Alexander McQueen among many others caressed the runways with romantic veils and flowers. Beautiful dresses, feminine laces, floral prints, neutrals, pinks and lilacs in any of the manifestos that were seen on almost every fashion show are perfect for the heart-tendered souls that wouldn't be caught dead wearing space goggles and metal clad pants no matter how fashionable they are, Yes, it is cold outside but a hopeless romantic always has a warm little space in their heart, for fashion that is.Bottega VenetaAlexander McQueenMarchesaRodarteValentinoValentinoLike what you see?

You have to feel for Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb. Why, you ask?

How else could you explain the backpedaling that has gone on in the past week? Just [...]
