 are redefining the Southern Belle." Even if it gets me funny looks when I say things like "I'm fixing to" here in the Big Apple, I love claiming the attributes of a Southern Belle as something I grew up being taught.
"There are other defining attributes, some more quantifiable than others. Southern women know how to bake a funeral casserole and why you should. Southern women know how to make other women feel pretty. Southern women like men and allow them to stay men. Southern women are not afraid to dance. Southern women know you can’t outrun your past, that manners count, and that your mother deserves a phone call every Sunday. Southern women can say more with a cut of their eyes than a whole debate club’s worth of speeches."

Let's get one thing clear: this is just an attempt at a political hack job. If they cared, they would've done this 3.5 years ago. They didn't. They knew that the Clinton emails actually weren't that bad, as per the FBI's investigation at the time. They found that the Clinton team had been careless, but no criminal conduct was discovered.

They're trying to get the "Comey in a bottle" effect, part 2. 

Could it work? Maybe, but I'm not convinced. The problem with the Clinton email scandal in 2016 is that it was covered far and wide by mainstream outlets (you know, those outlets that are supposedly infested with pro-Democrat bias? Yeah, those ones), from top to bottom, for 2 weeks before the election.

This isn't going to happen this time. The buttery males ship sailed a long time ago.Breakfast Flapjacks
by grainnep
With Autumn here and back to school around the corner, I’m posting my favourite recipe for flapjacks because I get so many requests for it on my FB and Instagram. These are not the sugar laden variety you see in most baking books as I have eliminated all cane sugar and rely on honey and dried fruit for plenty of sweetness. These are perfect for breakfast as is or with some yoghurt and as a lunch snack when time is short and you need to grab something also perfect in school lunchboxes. From a health point of view, these are much better than shop bought variety, there are no nasties and though they are high calorie, In my opinion they are worth it. They keep for about a week in an airtight container though they don’t last that long in our house.
Flapjacks – Makes 20
Oven at 180C
1kg porridge oats
300gr butter
250gr honey
400ml water
100gr dried fruit of choice
(optional extras include flax pumpkin and sunflower seeds – a couple of handfuls total)
Melt the butter and honey together over a gently heat – ensure you dont boil the butter
Mix the oats with the dried fruit and add a pinch of salt
Make a well in the middle, add the melted butter honey mix and the water and mix together until all the oats are incorporated. If it is a bit dry, don’t worry just add some more water until it is all mixed in.
Tip into a flat baking tray which has a lip all round, dampen your hands and press the mixture firmly flat, pressing into all the corners.
Bake for around 20 minutes until golden brown.
Leave to cool for about 5 minutes then mark out the cut marks for the flapjacks and leave to cool completely.
Makes 20.

Following successful programming of films celebrating fashion, photography and the expression of identities through art, at the museum over the past three years, this fall, FIFA offers three documentaries on this mythical figure and his fashion house, in conjunction with the McCord exhibition, Christian Dior, which will open on September 25th.
From examination of his sketches and fashion designs to exploration of his career path and personality, Dior is honored by the selected documentaries which highlight the revolutionary work of the man often referred to as the “couturier of dreams,” who sublimated women around the world and inspired generations of fashion students. The screenings will take place in the J. A. Bombardier Theater at the McCord Museum, on three Saturdays this October.
Museum located 690 Sherbrooke Street West, Montreal. McGill metro station or bus 24.

1947. Against all odds in a post-war France, a young designer imposed his vision of women and elegance on the whole world. Christian Dior restored French fashion to the predominant position it had held before the war and quickly became a legend. In 10 years, he fully transformed the face of haute couture, but the man himself had nothing of the extroverted, flamboyant fashion designer about him. Christian Dior was a simple reserved-looking man, uncomfortable with his socialite status. His childhood in Granville, the image of his mother as well as his passion for flowers and architecture were all major influences that eventually reconciled him with his double persona shortly before his untimely death in 1957.

Presented as a Canadian premiere at the 38th edition of FIFA, this documentary film portrays Kevin Prat-Irien, Ester Manas, Gabriel Figueiredo and Olivier Maire, four students studying fashion at La Cambre, one of the world’s most renowned schools, as they create the end-of-year collections that will elevate them from the status of student to that of creator. A bittersweet documentary that shines a light on these emerging designers, brimming with ideas and filled with doubt, but determined to pursue their dreams. More than a classic documentary about young people eager to pursue a career in fashion, Bouquet Final takes a societal look at an entire generation. REGISTER.The Coronavirus Is Hurting Service, Hourly, And Independent Workers’ Finances. Here's Some Basic Financial Advice.
BuzzFeed News called a few experts for advice on finances, benefits, and taxes as the coronavirus shuts down restaurants, public gatherings, and businesses.
Low-income, independent, hourly, and gig economy workers are particularly hurt by the recession that could be brought on by the coronavirus, which is forcing governments to restrict businesses and limit crowds to stem the number of infections.
According to a recent survey conducted among roughly 400 members of the Freelancers Union, more than two-thirds of the respondents expect to lose revenue in the coming weeks. Roughly a third of them would be unable to work from home if they had to self-quarantine.
BuzzFeed News spoke to an accountant, a personal finance adviser, and the president of the Freelancers Union to find advice for these workers during the pandemic.
What should I think about first?
If you are on payroll and are laid off or furloughed, you should qualify for some kind of unemployment, Richard Cecchi, a certified public accountant based in Babylon, New York, told BuzzFeed News. Freelancers, independent contractors, and other self-employed people don’t generally qualify for unemployment benefits.
Unemployment benefits are specific to the state and the company you work for, Kimberly Palmer, a personal finance expert at NerdWallet, told BuzzFeed News. It’s important for you to look into what your state may require your employer to pay in case they lay you off, which can easily be done by googling your state and the words “unemployment benefits,” Palmer said.
Then there are decisions that each company makes. Given that these are exceptional circumstances, companies may also decide to provide additional benefits, Palmer said. Uber, for instance, extended paid sick leave up to two weeks for drivers who test positive for COVID-19. Instacart and DoorDash are doing the same for workers who get the virus.
To find out what your company may offer, it could be worth getting in touch with an HR representative.
In terms of health benefits, employees who have been laid off may qualify for continued health care coverage via the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). As with unemployment benefits, this
