When people think of the actor and UNICEF goodwill ambassador Audrey Hepburn, they think of grace, class, elegance, and style. Audrey knew what looked good on her, and what didn't, and as Audrey's son Sean Hepburn Ferrer explained, his mother's style was "the extension of an inner beauty reinforced by a life of discipline, respect for the other, and hope in humanity."[1] For many women, capturing Audrey's style continues to be the pinnacle of timeless grace and elegance. If you'd like to adapt some of your wardrobe and fashion style with an Audrey Hepburn touch, here are some suggestions to help you.

Bosch’s GTS1031 Portable Table Saw: Worth
Upgrading

video details and more

Over the last few years, we’ve seen Bosch roll out saws left, right, and backwards that address contractors’ aches and pains. They’ve got badass sliding/miter saws and table saws alike. What they rolled out last month is a 10? portable table saw that has an 18? capacity and a four horsepower motor that spins up to 5000rpm.

Watching the video from Bosch, the saw looks like the neatest thing since sliced bread, bells, and whistles. It fits in less than a two-foot space lengthwise and is an inch over 1? width standing up, which works out great for hauling it in a truck. One-handed carry of its 45 lb. curb weight makes it reasonable to lug around. The saw guard is easy to snap in and out, which is good since that?s often the first casualty after being hauled up a flight of stairs or through a doorway on a jobsite.

So let?s look at it from a cost perspective: The street pricing runs in the neighborhood of about $400. Say you?d like the handy locking stand that is built for it as well — that will set you back about $80. So for the entire rig you?re looking at around $500. A Makita or DeWalt setup of the same style will hit you for about $500-$700, so what you’re really getting here is Bosch?s latest system with all the convenience of their compact chassis system and high-end motor at the same cost as the current offerings.

Is it enough of a difference to run out and dump your old saw? Probably not. If you?re a contractor on site and your rig is humming along, keep trucking. But should it quit or come time to upgrade, take a look at the Bosch, compare, contrast, and check it against the multitude of branded competitors. From everything we?ve seen from Bosch in the last couple years, it?s going to be worth your time.

Director's chair for the Ikea Jeff Folding Chair

Materials: Ikea JEFF Folding Chair, Non-Woven Recycle Bag, 1 foot square pillow (Optional), Duck Tape, Steel Wire

Description: I was happy to own a Ikea JEFF chair since I bought it few year back, until the day during a visit of a close friend, after long hours of chatting, my friend did a stretch of body and the back of the chair broken into 2 pieces.

It is kind of waste for me to dump the chair as all other parts of the chair work well, I have tried to glue the back with a piece of steel rod to reinforce however it just won't last as it just break when someone lean their back on it.

Today, I have thought of to wrap it with a piece of clothes and a wild idea came to my mind, would recycle bag just fit well on it?

I just grab a non-woven recycle bag somewhere at the kitchen and try to fit on it upside down, well, it goes just fine and the non-woven material provide enough reinforcement to hold my back yet kind of comfortable.

Then I thought of a 1 foot square pillow given by my friend during last Christmas which would come in handy to add in extra comfort to the chair. I just slip it into the chair and it fits well too! Everything just go so smooth and I can even hide the handle of the bag into it yet the handle helps to hold the pillow. With the help of little steel wire, the pillow just fits nicely inside the bag.

After that, I realised that the edge of the frame is quite sharp and I foresee this going to poke through the bag after some days of wear, so, I remove the whole bag and apply duck tape around the edge to make sure it is blunt enough to hold the bag without doing any harm to it.

That's it! The hack works just well and I love my little JEFF again, it is comfy yet looks like a director's chair with the cloth back. The best part it, it still able to be folded as usual.
