Shoe lacing Style


Shoe lacing Style

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The laces then go straight up and are fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
3. The ends are crossed over and are fed under the vertical lace section on the opposite sides of the shoe before going straight up and into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
4. At the top set of eyelets, the laces can once again cross over and pass under the straight section as shown. This not only looks consistent with the rest of the lacing but also forms a High Lace Lock, which tightens the lacing even more firmly. 14 more images after the break...

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are looped back under the lace where it feeds under the side of the shoe.
3. The ends are then crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

1. The lace runs straight across the second set of eyelets from the top of the shoe.
2. Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets, skipping the third set.
3. Continue down the shoe, two sets of eyelets at a time.
4. At the bottom, run the laces vertically between the bottom and second from bottom eyelets
5. Double back and work your way back up the shoe through the vacant sets of eyelets.

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets
2. The left (red) end is spiralled up the left side of the shoe, with the end fed under and emerging from each eyelet.
3. The right (orange) lace is spiralled up the right side of the shoe, at each eyelet looping through the left (blue) lace in the middle of the shoe before feeding under and emerging from the next eyelet.

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, is fed into and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.
3. Both ends now run straight up the left side, each skipping one eyelet before feeding in two eyelets higher up.
4. Continue running both ends across the shoe, then straight up two eyelets at a time.
5. At the top of the shoe, the laces end up on the same side and the shoelace knot is tied at that point.

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets.
2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, emerges from and runs straight across the second set of eyelets.
3. The other end (red end) runs diagonally underneath and, skipping the 2nd set of eyelets, emerges from and runs straight across the 3rd set of eyelets.
4. Continue running each lace diagonally across and up 2 sets of eyelets until one end (orange in my example) reaches the top right eyelet.
5. The other end (red in my example) then runs straight up the left side to emerge from the top left eyelet.
1. The lace runs straight across and emerges from the third set of eyelets from the bottom.
2. Both ends run straight down and are fed into the second set of eyelets from the bottom.
3. Both ends again run straight down and emerge from the bottom set of eyelets.
4. Both ends now run straight up along the outside and are fed into the fourth set of eyelets (the first vacant pair).
5. The ends are crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
6. Repeat step (5) until both ends reach the top.
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and is fed into rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.



1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets.
3. Both ends now run straight down one eyelet and emerge from the third set of eyelets.
4. Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over and going up three sets of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the next set of eyelets below.
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. The ends are twisted together with one complete twist in the middle of the shoe.
3. The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
4. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets.
2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
3. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 5th set of eyelets
4. Cross the ends over and feed into the 2nd set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
5. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 3rd set of eyelets.
6. Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set of eyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
1. The lace is run diagonally and emerges from the bottom left and the top right eyelets.
2. The top (red) end of the lace is zig-zagged from the top set of eyelets down to the middle eyelets in a similar manner to the Shoe Shop Lacing.
3. The bottom (orange) end of the lace is similarly zig-zagged from the bottom set of eyelets up to the middle eyelets.
1. Start with two pairs of different colour laces, preferably the wide, flat variety (I was lucky to receive two such pairs with my last runners!).
2. With one colour (orange in my example), lace the shoe using either Straight (Fashion) or Straight (Lazy) Lacing.
3. With the other colour (red in my example), start at the bottom of the shoe and weave the lace in and out of the other lace until you reach the top.
4. Fold around the top lace and head back down, weaving out and in until you reach the bottom.
5. Continue across the shoe until you're out of room or out of lace, whichever comes first 6. Tuck all the loose ends of the laces into the shoe.
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets
2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets)
3. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 5th set of eyelets.
4. Cross the ends over and feed into the 2nd set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets) .
5. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 3rd set of eyelets.
6. Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set of eyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).

7 things you should never say to your partner

Sometimes our secret thoughts just slip out in a clumsy splutter of word vomit, and boom – we’re in the doghouse again. We present you with seven things you should never say to your partner. Ignore this at your peril.
RB90339502625.jpg (630×345)



What not to say, rule 1: “My ex used to do that too!”


Whether you’re complimenting your partner, or highlighting a less than favourable flaw, comparing your current partner to an ex is not, under any circumstances, a good idea. Telling your other half how a former flame used to give excellent foot massages, or even a catty comment about their awful dress sense, will not go down well with your lady/gentleman friend and is a recipe for disaster as your other half wonders why this ex is on your mind in the first place. Next time you experience boyfriend or girlfriend déjà vu, do yourself a favour and keep it on the down-low. 

What not to say, rule 2: “Don’t you think [insert relevant name] is pretty/handsome?”

This question is just plain annoying and sets your partner up in a lose/lose situation, which is a recipe for disaster. There are plenty of conversation starters out there that can be used without having to resort to this, so avoid questions based on other people’s looks. The first trap you set up for your partner with this question is if they disagree with you. We’ve all done it; they disagree and you brand them as a liar and say you wouldn’t have minded if they agreed with you in the first place (Pfft, of course they can say that someone else is attractive – you’re not that insecure!). The second major pitfall that your partner runs a high risk of falling into is agreeing with you. ‘Yes’ they say, ‘she/he is gorgeous’, and boom – they’ve been figured out. You knew they fancied this person all along. Mind games aren’t a good recipe for a successful relationship, so avoid them at all costs.
What not to say, rule 3: Don’t drool over the opposite sex
Some people don’t struggle with an answer when asked if they think someone else is attractive. If you do find someone of the opposite sex good-looking take a moment to gather your thoughts before you start panting in agreement with your partner’s passing comment. When asked if you think a member of the opposite sex is attractive, it’s often a plea for attention or reassurance neatly disguised as an innocent question. Yep, this is an invitation for you to gush to your lover about how much hotter he/she is, so be tactful with your reply. Try something along the lines of “She/he is alright, but they’ve got nothing on you”. Oh you little charmer!
What not to say, rule 4: “Can we wrap this sex session up? [Insert favourite TV show] is on in five”
This one is self-explanatory. Having their sexual performances ranked below a TV programme can lead to severe feelings of inadequacy for your other half. Even if you have been desperately waiting to find out what happens in the next instalment of your favourite programme, just beware of the trouble this could cause if you express your thoughts out loud. Cutting off a sex session is a big time deal breaker.
What not to say, rule 5: “I’m fine”, when really you’re not
The classic passive-aggressive comment “I’m fine”, when you’re clearly annoyed that your other half has just switched channels without asking your permission first, creates all sorts of trouble for ten minutes time. As you sit there wallowing in your own little bubble of anger, you feel the tension building in the air and you’re both just sat there waiting for the other person to talk to break the stressful atmosphere. By the time you get around to actually solving the first problem, you’ve created a whole string of others by being in such a mood in the first place. You’ve both said things you didn’t mean and now you’re just in a tangled web of problems that could easily have been avoided. When asked if you’re okay, use this is an opportunity to outline what’s bothering you, not a chance to feel sorry for yourself and create a drama.
What not to say, rule 6: “Do you think it’s wise to eat that?”
Asking your lover if they really think it’s wise to be eating the chocolate smothered doughnut that is about to disappear into their mouth is a bad move by anyone’s standards, particularly if your partner is female. It’s basically a sugar-coated version of the phrase, “You’ve put on weight, stop eating junk”. If you have uttered either of these phrases, duck now. Leave the house. Don’t ever return.
What not to say, rule 7: “What are you thinking riiight... NOW?”
It’s a question that some of us like to hurl at our partners when they’re least expecting it. We say it so fast that our other half doesn’t have the chance to make up a false reply or even to think straight, which leads him/her to stutter, and then we accuse them of thinking of their ex or having rude thoughts about someone else. The chances are, they were just pondering what they’re having for tea or how to tackle a difficult situation at work, but when put on the spot they can’t really remember what they were thinking, let alone put it into a coherent sentence. Even if they did happen to be thinking of having sex with a porn star or getting back with an ex, the last thing they’ll do is admit it so this will never really be a constructive question unless they answer “thinking of you”, but then we’d probably tell them they’re lying anyway. Our partners simply can’t win.

Pair of Earth sized planets found orbiting sun-like star


Scientists have for the first time discovered two Earth-sized planets outside the solar system, orbiting a distant star resembling our sun.
article-2076711-0F3CD0ED00000578-479_634x439.jpg (634×439)
This discovery marks a milestone in the hunt for alien worlds, since it brings scientists one step closer to their ultimate goal of finding atwin Earth.
"The goal of Kepler is to find Earth-sized planets in the habitable zone. Proving the existence of Earth-sized exoplanets is a major step toward achieving that goal," said Francois Fressin of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).
The two planets, dubbed Kepler-20e and 20f, are the smallest planets found to date. They have diameters of 6,900 miles and 8,200 miles - equivalent to 0.87 times Earth (slightly smaller than Venus) and 1.03 times Earth. These worlds are expected to have rocky compositions, so their masses should be less than 1.7 and 3 times Earth's.
Both worlds circle Kepler-20: a G-type star slightly cooler than the Sun and located 950 light-years from Earth. (It would take the space shuttle 36 million years to travel to Kepler-20.)
epler-20e orbits every 6.1 days at a distance of 4.7 million miles. Kepler-20f orbits every 19.6 days at a distance of 10.3 million miles. Due to their tight orbits, they are heated to temperatures of 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit and 800 degrees F.
In addition to the two Earth-sized worlds, the Kepler-20 system contains three larger planets. All five have orbits closer than Mercury in our solar system.
They also show an unexpected arrangement. In our solar system small, rocky worlds orbit close to the Sun and large, gas giant worlds orbit farther out. In contrast, the planets of Kepler-20 are organized in alternating size: big, little, big, little, big. We were surprised to find this system of flip-flopping planets," said co-author David Charbonneau of the CfA.
"It's very different than our solar system."
The three largest planets are designated Kepler-20b, 20c, and 20d. They have diameters of 15,000, 24,600, and 22,000 miles and orbit once every 3.7, 10.9, and 77.6 days, respectively. Kepler-20b has 8.7 times the mass of Earth; Kepler-20c has 16.1 times Earth's mass. Kepler-20d weighs less than 20 times Earth.
Fressin and Willie Torres of CfA used Blender, a custom software developed by them, to confirm the existence of Kepler-22b, a planet in the habitable zone of its star that was announced by NASA earlier this month. However, that world was much larger than Earth.
"These new planets are significantly smaller than any planet found up till now orbiting a Sun-like star," added Fressin.
The study will be published in the journal Nature.
