Set during World War II in Nazi Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing something she can't resist — books. With the help of her best friend, Rudy,... read more
The book begins with Death, the narrator of story, briefly describing the three times he encountered Liesel Meminger--or, as he calls her, "the Book Thief". The first time is when Liesel's younger brother dies suddenly of a cough on a train to Molching, a suburb of Munich, where they're sent... read more (warning: may contain spoilers)
"A last note from your narrator: I am haunted by humans."Death
"Here is a small fact: You are going to die."Death
"Her nerves licked her palms."Death
"So much good, so much evil. Just add water."Death
"I've seen so many young men over the years who think they're running at other young men. They are not. They're running at me."Death
"'When death captures me,' the boy vowed, 'he will feel my fist on his face.' Personally, I quite like that. Such stupid gallantry. Yes. I like that a lot."Death
"By the way-I like this human idea of the grim reaper. I like the scythe. It amuses me."Death
"I do not carry a sickle or a scythe. I only wear a hooded black robe when it's cold. And I don't have those skull-like facial features you seem to enjoy pinning on me from a distance. You want to know what I truly look like? I'll help you out. Find yourself a mirror while I continue."Death
"It kills me sometimes, how people die."Death
"For some reason, dying men always ask questions they know the answer to. Perhaps it's so they can die being right."Death
"Humans like to watch a little destruction. Sand castles, houses of cards, that's where they begin. Their great skill is their capacity to escalate."Death
"The bombs were coming - and so was I."Death
"Those images were the world, and it stewed in her as she sat with the lovely books and their manicured titles. It brewed in her as she eyed the pages full to the brims of their bellies with paragraphs and words."Death
"I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope that I have made them right."Liesel
"That makes two weeks. Two weeks to change the world, and fourteen days to ruin it."Death (?)
"Her wrinkles were like slander. Her voice was akin to a beating with a stick."
"It amazes me, what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on, coughing, searching, finding."Death
"It makes me understand that the best standover man I've ever known is not a man at all..."Max Vandenburg
"There were stars," he said. "They burned my eyes."Max Vandenberg
"It's just a small story really, about, among other things: A girl, Some words, An accordionist, Some fanatical Germans, A Jewish fist fighter, And quite a lot of thievery..."Death
"There would be punishment and pain, and there would be happiness, too. That was writing."
"Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die."Death
"When they come and ask for one of your children, … You're supposed to say yes."Barbara Steiner
"Silence was not quiet or calm, and it was not peace."Death
"So many humans, so many colors."Death
"The only thing worse than a boy that hates you, is a boy that loves you."
"The dark, the light. What's the difference? Nightmares had reinforced themselves in each."
"The crowd was itself. There was no swaying it, squeezing though it, or reasoning with it. You breathed with it and you sang its songs. You waited for its fire."
"From a Himmel Street window, the stars set fire to my eyes."Max
"People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations, with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colors. Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues. Murky darkness. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them."Death
"He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry."Death
"They are frightened, no question, but they were not afraid of me. It was a fear of messing up and having to face themselves again, and facing the world, and the likes of you."Death
"The ones who rise up and say,"I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come.""Death
"Then again, who am I kidding? I'm in most places at least once , and in 1943, I was just about everywhere."Death
"Like most misery, it started with apparent happiness."Death
"Now I think we are friends, this girl and me. On her birthday it was she who gave a gift to me."Max Vandenburg
"Summer came. For the book thief, everything was going nicely. For me, the sky was the color of Jews. When their bodies had finished scouring for gaps in the door, their souls rose up. When their fingernails had scratched at the wood and in some cases were nailed into it by the sheer force of desperation, their spirits came toward me, into my arms, and we climbed out of those shower facilities, onto the roof and up, into eternity's certain breadth. They just kept feeding me. Minute after minute. Shower after shower."Death
"One thing I've noticed about the Germans. They seem very fond of pigs."Liesel Meminger
"One opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death."Death
"No-one's urine smells as good as your own."Mr. Vandenberg
"Wanting more is our fundamental right as Germans."Viktor Chemmel
"Its also worthy of mention that every pattern has at least one small bias, and one day it will tip itself over, or fall from one page to another."Death
"Those who remained were firing into the blank pages in front of them. Three languages interwove. The Russian, the bullets, the German."Death
"Every second word was either saumensch or saukerl or arschloch. For people who aren't familiar with these words, I should explain. Sau, of course, refers to pigs. In the case of Saumensch, it serves to castigate, berate or plain humiliate a female. Sukerl is for a male. Arschloch can be translated directly into arsehole."Death
"Not leaving: an act of trust and love, often deciphered by children."Dictionary
"I can be amiable. Agreeable. Affable. And that's only the A's. Just don't ask me to be nice. Nice has nothing to do with me."Death
"Not only did Max have less than a chance of survival than everyone else, but would die completely alone."Death
"When she came to write her story, she would wonder exactly when the books and the words started to mean not just something, but everything."Death
"If nothing else, the old man would die like a human. Or at least with the thought that he was a human.Me?I'm not so sure if that's such a good thing."Death

There is quite a bit of language in this book that is unsuitable for young children. There is frequent cursing in German, and less frequent (though still common) cursing in English. And exceedingly sad. Some adult themes and it may be difficult for a young person to grasp that the narrator is a personification of death itself.
We're hiding the books that influenced this book, books influenced by this book and books that cite this book sections. If you would like to add content to them, you must first make them visible.

Who knew that houses need to breathe? Not Sally Buckley of Woodland Park.
But she learned that hard lesson when she bought a house in May 2008 and discovered its attic wasn't properly vented, according to experts who examined the house.
Here is Sally's little house. Notice the lack of rooftop vents, wind turbines or gable vents. Several soffit vents under the front eaves of the house are not visible in the photos.
Looking at the rear of the house, below, there are no vents in the garage roof or gable, in the foreground. Nor is there a gable vent on the house although there are three roof vents visible along the roofline as well as various sewer vents and furnace venting.
Besides what the experts say is poor venting, the house suffered mechanical problems including a questionable bathroom exhaust system that had pipes running over 20 feet across the attic to reach vents.
Even worse, the pipes were not insulated. And one was broken off, pumping warm, moist air from the bathrooms directly into the attic. The result was nasty toxic black mold, visible in the photo below.
Here are more photos of the mold as it spread into Buckley's house:
In early stages, the mold looks like simple dirt. Below is some of the mold that remained in Buckley's windowsills Wednesday as crews worked to safely remove it from the house.
Powers Thermal Insulation employee Ben Benavidez wraps insulation along the length of the repaired exhaust pipe Wednesday prior to blowing in new insulation.
Here is a closeup of baffles to be placed over soffit vents to ensure proper ventilation.
Bobby Cotten, general manager of Powers Thermal Insulation, sent his crews to Buckley's house to remove the mold after builder John Tottleben of Jett Construction Co. declined to help Buckley remove the mold.

The tempdir and tempname functions assist in locating temporary data on your system.
Use these functions to create temporary files. Some systems delete temporary files every time you reboot the system. On other systems, designating a file as temporary can mean only that the file is not backed up.
The tempdir function returns the name of the folder that has been designated to hold temporary files on your system. For example, issuing tempdir on The Open Group UNIX® systems returns the /tmp folder.
MATLAB® also provides a tempname function that returns a filename in the temporary folder. The returned filename is a suitable destination for temporary data. For example, if you need to store some data in a temporary file, then you might issue the following command first:
fid = fopen(tempname, 'w');

Giving and Receiving Gifts of Spirit: How Goodwill can Promote Change
By Fannie LeFlore, MS,LPC,CADC,EAP The recent loss of so many innocent kids who had their whole lives ahead of them, apparently has touched and made millions of Americans stop and reflect. There are national sympathy cards circulating for
Republicans are The Ugly Americans
First published in 1958, The Ugly American by William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdock became a runaway national bestseller for its slashing exposé of American arrogance, incompetence, and corruption. It exposes the opportunism and cynical deceit that have become imbedded in the fabric of our politics. The term "Ugly American" came to be used to refer to the loud, ostentatious behavior and
So I Crawled out of my Binder....
To say...I TOLD YOU!!! I fell asleep watching MSNBC and woke up to Morning Joke and someone saying, Robme owned the argument on the economy. Is it me?I keep waiting for a little forthright journalism. It isnt as if the man doesnt have a governing record. He was Governor of Massachusetts! Heres what that record tells us:Job creation:Massachusetts ranked 47th in job growth
Americans are Indifferent To Intelligence
America has degenerated into a society where marketing, corporate influence and anti-intellectualism are the rules of the day. Intelligence has become synonymous with elite, haughty, Harvard, and who wants to have a beer with that? Admittedly, an intelligent person might become elite, may behave haughtily and could well have gone to Harvard, but the truth is, intelligence has little to
Why Mitt's Mendacity Matters
This article was cross-posted from Winning Progressive Over the course of this Presidential campaign, weve learned one thing about Mitt Romney that he is willing to say virtually anything if he thinks it will get him a vote. A case in point is last weeks Presidential debate in Denver, where Romney told at least 27 falsehoods in only 38 minutes of speaking, which is an average of
Im Afraid if Obama wins , the Blacks will Take Over
A full year before President Obamas inauguration, an Ohio woman told why she was opposed to his election, Im afraid if he wins, the Blacks will take over. Since Nixon introduced the southern strategy, it has been used to divide poor and working-class whites from those who should be their natural allies... poor and working-class people of color. As Corporations enjoy higher profits than in

Are Americans oblivious to History, stuck on Stupid or just ideological Idiots?
Note: The following narrative is necessarily long, but I hope you will take the time to read it. You may learn that the economic downturn that cripples the middle class is no accident but simply the American way. Either Americans are oblivious to history, stuck on stupid or ideological idiots. Since colonial times the economy and the politics of the country have been controlled by the top 1%...because the 99% allow it; even worse, a large percentage of the 99% support it. The elite cr [..]
OWS vs. ALEC Lessons from Hannibal of Carthage (repost)
A few years ago, I set out on my own one-woman protest. I moved my accounts from a major bank to a small neighborhood bank. When I bought a new car, I bought one that was American made, then refused to buy gasoline from a BP or Exxon gas station. They were baby steps, but steps I knew could have huge impact if everyone would do them. Afterall, you gotta hit em where it hurts. I had the idea I would obtain a list of the corporations that lobby Congress and they would become my target c [..]
If you have NO VOTE, you have NO CIVIL RIGHTS
Voter Fraud isnt the problem, Election Fraud is The ability to vote is one of the most cherished of our Constitutional Rights. It is the right to vote that people have fought for, marched for, and even died for. It is the right to vote that allows citizens to determine, to some degree, their own future by electing officials who reflect their views and will speak for them in government. After the 2000 Florida election debacle, Congress established a body called the Election Assistance Commi [..]
President Obama: To supporters of Planned Parenthood

Vaginas are Public Domain, but Health Insurance is private
Congressmen stood on the steps of the Supreme Court and pleaded for the oust of the Affordable Care Act, please just leave us a tiny shred of freedom. Dont let the government force us to buy something we dont want. Many of these Congressmen were the same men who had sung the vagina dialogues insisting that the private parts of pregnant women be poked and prodded whether they wanted it or not. Opponents of the Affordable Care Act insist that the legislation comes between pati [..]

Trayvon, Ramarley and Aiyana Stanley-Jones makes three
In my quest to help people understand why Blacks are so moved by the death of Trayvon Martin, I have to highlight just one more story, out of thousands.
Before Trayvon Martin, there was Ramarley Graham
Weeks before the killing of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, police gunned down 18 year old Ramarley Graham in the Bronx. In brief, this was the story: Police officials said that members of a street narcotics squad broadcast over their radios that they saw the butt of a gun in Graham's waistband as he left a convenience store, under observation for suspected drug activity. After two plainclothes officers in an unmarked squad car told him to stop, officials said, the young man then ran [..]
Black-on-Black Crime is a Misnomer
Its a term I hear often, especially in the wake of the death of Trayvon Martin. Whites implore Blacks to reflect on the crime they inflict on one another. The implication being that Trayvons death deserves neither sympathy nor scrutiny...its a Black problem. Some Blacks, as well are all too willing to shoulder responsibility for lawlessness because we kill one another. Are they right? Not if you study crime statistics. Contrary to the chatter, the problem isnt that [..]
Trayvon Martin - why Killing Blacks is just another Sport
Americans have long claimed to have a special moral and religious exception. Indeed, these proclamations undergird the American ideal that speaks to the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But despite the glorification and avowed wisdom of the Founding Fathers, those cherished ideals were intended FOR WHITE MEN ONLY. On February 26, George Zimmerman killed 17 year old Trayvon Martin, but he had an accomplice...the history of a nation that fails to live up to its ideals.� [..]
Shame on Joe Scarborough!
I take great pride in researching and presenting sound and sane articles based on facts, but today I ask that you pardon me while I rant. I often wonder why the public is so misinformed, but after watching an episode of Morning Joe, I know exactly why. Well-informed economists, reporters and financial gurus sit on the set of Morning Joe and listen to Joe Scarborough impart totally erroneous information and they all remain quiet. About a week ago, Joe went on one of his rants about the deficit. [..]
Sterilize Men and end the Abortion Craze
Its no secret that I have an issue with the fact that old, pasty-faced, balding men are leading the charge against womens freedom of sexuality. I have even less regard for the women, most of whom possess ovaries that havent expelled an egg in decades, who stand with them. I have a little sympathy for them, though. Afterall, after you suffer through the pangs of pregnancy, kegels and childrearing, you have a right to feel no woman should escape. Besides, if you looked like this wouldn [..]
Americas Collective Uterus
In view of today's debate concerning women's reproductive rights, it seemed appropriate to repost this article. Few things anger me more than the men who actively campaign against abortion. Oh, I know all those moral, come-to Jesus arguments about men and fatherhood. But frankly speaking, unless the unborn considered for abortion is a product of the protesting mens sperm, as far as Im concerned, they dont have a dog in this fight. So before you get your undies in a twist, I am n [..]
Understanding God's Law ...just for laughs?
I thought Id share a laugh. Someone emailed this to me, so Im unable to give proper credit to the author. It clearly isnt recent, so you might have read it before. But, since were in the throes of a debate about religious freedom, I thought it timely and worth a repeat. Dear President Bush: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment bannin [..]

12 of My Simple Pleasures
Difficult times have forced many of us to change and rearrange our priorities. It occurred to me that it is easy to think about the things that make us unhappy, while we give little or no thought to the things that make us happy.

Following are twelve of my simple pleasures. Read more »
Are you Happy?
Brian bounced from his bed with the energy only a five year old has at 6 am and announced with overwhelming glee, I am so very, very, very, very happy today! It seemed he had dreamed he was in the clutches of a huge monster and just as it was about to devour him, the Power Rangers appeared and saved his life. Arent you happy everyday, I asked. Yes I am!

How to Turn A Mugger into an Escort
After partying on the north side of Chicago, I got into my yellow convertible cougar and sped down South Shore Drive towards Hyde Park. It was 2 am.

I remember thinking every nerd at the University of Chicago owned a Volkswagon Beetle. There were a million of them, parked bumper to bumper. Just when I was about [..]
Fair Warning: Women better Learn to Behave
As men drag women back to the days when they were chattel and women decide whether this is an ideological contest or one that threatens their feminine values and the foundation of womanhood, I thought it appropriate to give fair maidens a little review of history. As late as the nineteenth century, women were punished for daring to speak their minds, especially to men folk. Not unlike children, they were expected to be seen and not heard. Women who dared venture to nag were punished.� [..]

Cruel and unusual punishment In 1811, a slave named Charles Deslandes led an unsuccessful slave revolt in the Louisiana Territory. Deslandes and five hundred slaves killed two whites and burned plantations and crops. They were stopped west of New Orleans by the American military and a slave-owners militia. Their ammunition soon exhausted and the slaves were defeated. 100 slaves were executed and beheaded. The heads were put on poles along the Mississippi River Road and the dismembered [..]

Single Parents are Abusive and Negligent
After my husband died, leaving me to raise two children on my own, I was technically a single parent. And over the years, Ive had the nerve to feel a sense of pride in the fact that I actually managed quite well by my two girls. Theyre both educated, drug free, employed, well-adjusted and pretty cute, even I do say so. I can still recall the trips to gymnastics, then swimming, back to music lessons and odd and sundry activities and get winded just thinking about them. I still know [..]
My Father Isn't God Anymore - A 501 Word Challenge
I was still on the farm, thirsty and bored, so I was just walking around. I watched the chickens, pecking and scratching behind a tall wire fence. Tiptoeing, I pushed up the gate latch and swung it opened. I thought theyd just walk around, instead they clucked and flapped as they streamed out and down the hill in a massive white swarm. The geese impatiently gnawed at the fence, so I opened their gate too. One plump gray goose stooderect, spread his wings, and honked loudly. Then he [..]

Are there any Self-Respecting Republican Women in Congress?
Take a look at the guide that shows the legislators who have written, endorsed and pushed laws that infringe on womens reproductive rights, then answer the question. No self-respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her sex. ~ Susan B. Anthony 1872
The Warriors against Womens Rights - a guide for women
Feminism asks that women be free to define themselves -- instead of having their identity defined for them, time and again, by their culture and their men. ~ Susan Faludi Since the 2010 elections, Republicans have mounted an assault on womens health and freedom that would deny millions of women access to affordable contraception, life-saving cancer screenings, testing for H.I.V. and other sexually transmitted diseases. They have cut Head Start programs and funding that provides [..]
Republican Men Hate Their Mothers
Actor Tony Perkins in Psycho Like serial killers who act to gain and exert power over their victims, Republicans are attempting to change society, to cure a perceived societal ill. And just like those mission-oriented killers typically justify their acts as "ridding the world" of a certain type of person perceived as undesirable, such as homosexuals, prostitutes, or people of a different ethnicity or religion, Republican legislators across the country have introduced laws that address Americ [..]
The Hypocrisy of Santorum and the Catholic Bishops
Rick Santorum has a history of controversial political positions around privacy rights and governments authority to regulate consensual sexual behavior between adults. He believes Catholic priests caught in thepedophile scandal, were merely affected by the media and a culture of "academic, political and cultural liberalism" that approves of homosexuality. Which may explain why he advocates getting rid of the Department of Education. His latest rant that President Obama is trying t [..]
Contraception - False Morality and the War Against Women
Under the guise of religious consciousness and First Amendment rights , Republicans are mounting an assault on womens health and freedom that would deny millions of women access to affordable contraception. The attacks did not just begin, but have persisted since Republicans claimed the majority after the 2010 elections. These are just a few of the attacks of the GOPs war on women: 1) Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. All while they push to elimina [..]
Birth Control and Government - Uncle Sam was an Abortionist
The government has a history of taking over peoples reproductive future. In the first half of the twentieth century, the United States promoted efforts to breed better human beings. The pseudoscience, called eugenics included forced abortions, sterilization, and other methods of family planning.When the Nazis went on trial after World War II, for war crimes in Nuremberg, they justified their mass sterilizations by citing the United States as their inspiration. And just as the rich [..]
The Resurrection of Jim Crow IV - Politics, Pandering and Propaganda
Bobblehead America -The Art of Flip-flopping Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, declared that his greatest legislative priority was to ensure that Obama would be a one-term president. Republicans and Tea Party members declare with regularity their aim to see that President Obama goes down in history as the worse president ever. Why? Despite their professed love of God and country, Republicans and the Tea Party clearly hate President Obama more than they love God or the country [..]
The Resurrection of Jim Crow III - Priming the Nation for Hate
Fanning the Flames of Fear and AngerI have no doubt that many Tea Partiers have a genuine concern about the direction of the country, but mass movements offer cover to people whose lives are driven by passionate hatred and during times of discontent, hate becomes respectable, because it can masquerade as patriotism. From the Southern Poverty Law Center Intelligence Report: As of 2009, there are 1,002 known hate groups operating across the country, including neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationali [..]
The Resurrection of Jim Crow II - The Unmaking of a President
"Lets Take our Country Back"....to the pre-Civil Rights era Tom Tancredo, a former Republican Congressman, known for his passionate opposition to immigration told Tea Partiers gathered for a convention, This is our country, lets take it back. According to ABC News, he spoke about the cult of multiculturalism". He claimed President Obama was elected because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country. It was a reference to literacy t [..]
The Resurrection of Jim Crow I - Mississippi and Beyond
In the early 1790s, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison organized the Democratic-Republican Party. The party split over the choice of a successor to President James Monroe. In the 1850s, anti-slavery Democrats and Democrats in favor of war switched to the Republican Party. Until the New Deal era of Franklin Delano Roosevelt beginning in 1932, African Americans supported the Republicans who were against the expansion of slavery. During Reconstruction, former slaves were granted citiz [..]
I Want Congress-Men to Leave My Uterus Alone (Update)
Ive said this all before and frankly thought I had settled the matter of those pasty-faced Congressmen poking around in my privacy and trying to tell me what to do. Like I said before, my sexuality and uterus are not their affair. Oh, I could hear the argument about all the birth control stuff and Catholics. But to be honest, I was half listening until that sniveling John Boehner spoke out and said: "If the president does not reverse the Department's attack on religious freedom then [..]
Shameless Lies and Willful Ignorance - Employment
The Myth about the Obama Federal WorkforceRepublicans talk about being conservatives who believe in small government and reducing the federal workforce. The numbers dont bear out their claims. In a press conference, House Speaker John Boehner said, "In the last two years, under President Obama, the federal government has added 200,000 new federal jobs." The Republicans even advanced legislation calling for a reduction of 200,000 federal employees. Read more »
Shameless Lies and Willful Ignorance - Taxes and Tax Cuts
The Myth about Taxes Romney accused President Obama of raising corporate tax rates during his presidency, while Congressional Republicans accuse him of raising taxes on the Middle Class. Neither is true. "There's been lots of corporate tax cutting under Obama, but no corporate rate tax increases," said Robert McIntyre, director of the Center for Tax Justice. "Romney may be thinking Obama would like to do that, but since he says he wants to do the opposite, I just don't know how Romney [..]
Shameless Lies and Willful Ignorance - Government Handouts
I take no pleasure in writing about issues of race, but I take even less pleasure in witnessing the racial falsehoods and myths that politicians and the media are all too willing to advance. I refer to the advancement of these tales as shameful lies because the tellers know better. Those who accept these fallacies are the willful ignorant because the truth is not hidden.Over a period of years, Reagan told the story of the "Chicago welfare queen" who had 80 names, 30 addresses, 12 Social Secu [..]

Critical Essays
Peter Carey Short Fiction Analysis
Peter Carey's short stories are closer to fantasy and science fiction than his novels, which are more aptly categorized as historical or Magical Realist. The only novel by Carey that is close to the vision of the short stories is The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith (1994). In the stories, plot and psychologically well-rounded characterization are given less priority than atmosphere and audacity of conception. They are set in surreal, strange environments. Many of the stories take place in alternate histories where people are ruled by nondemocratic governments. These settings assist Carey in establishing an atmosphere of distortion and exaggeration where everything is at risk and no horror is inconceivable. The reader is put into a suspenseful mood, kept on edge. "Room No. 5 (Escribo)" is typical in this regard. This story was inspired by Carey's visit to Spain in the early 1970's, during the last years of the authoritarian government there. The story hauntingly imagines the conditions of life in a society filled with fear, degradation, and uncertainty. Everyone is waiting for the aged dictator Timoshenko to die. The narrator and his girlfriend, whom he has met on his travels, tentatively explore their relationship in the grimy atmospheric squalor of a country in which they are strangers. This sense of alienation and dislocation, often laced with humor, is characteristic of Carey's early stories. Though nothing dramatic happens in "Room No. 5...

The hero product from Cor Silver is the unique soap which contains active ingredients that are capable of penetrating deep within the layers of the skin in order to deliver beneficial actives that help combat various issues while restoring health and vitality to the skin.

The antiseptic properties make for a Cor Silver Soap acne aid and can help with the management of blemish prone skin.

Few pieces in jewelry are as illustrious as a tennis bracelet. Simple and clean, women have long favored the sparkling strand of diamonds at the wrist for instant, effortless day or night glamour. Now, the designer Eva Zuckerman of the contemporary fine jewelry line Eva Fehren has made a version of the classic with blackened white gold and gray diamonds. "I wanted to design a tennis bracelet that felt timeless and tough," Zuckerman says, "to add a modern, punk edge to a more traditional style." Turned upside-down, each diamond is set within a hexagonal shape that reinforces the geometry of each stone, "transforming it into something refined, delicate and precious," Zuckerman says.

It's not everyday you come across a stop-motion video created using 100 people in their birthday suits — but that's what you'll witness in the video above, which tells the story of Sam, an out of shape guy who needs to be surrounded by naked people rolling around and creating patterns before he has the epiphany that he needs to look after his body and go do some exercise. Maybe it's the motivation we all need.
The internet pays its respects to the Fast & Furious star the only way it knows how: a montage mashup showing the star's magic moments from his time in the fast car franchise, in which his memory will live on. RIP Paul Walker.
You must feel so stupid with your flat, immovable smartphone, because LG have upped the game with their LG G Flex, a 6-inch handset with a curved body that contours to your face—and not only that, but it also features a self-healing rear panel that can repair itself when scratched. So ner.
There comes a time in every person's life when they have to draw an empty potato chip packet, and you have to ask yourself: will you be up to the challenge? Probably not, so fix up, look sharp, and cast your peepers on this.
Rhett & Link voice the main frustration of our age: people constantly on their phones, texting, social networking, and doing all the other dumb stuff people do— so do the decent thing and watch this on a computer.
3D printing is everywhere in the news these days, being touted as the next big technological tool that will change the world, but will it actually change anything at all? This video looks at the possibilities of this new tech and how it might be used.
Looking at this, it's hard to think that it was created on an iPad using finger painting, but that's what artist Kyle Lambert has done, creating a photorealistic portrait of Morgan Freeman that totally beats that smiley face you drew using the same technique.
It'd be interesting to see some of the great drummers from rock n' roll history—Nick Mason, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Dave Grohl—have a go at playing on frozen Siberian lake Baikal, which is what some local percussionists have done in -20C, turning this 25 million year old lake into an insane musical instrument.
Amazon has just announced Prime Air, a drone delivery system that appears to be legit and not some kind of publicity stunt, where the company claims they can get your order to you in 30 mins via drone. Due to launch in the next few years, drones could become as commonplace as delivery trucks.
You may've always wanted to get up close and personal with a pride of lions, but there's the small matter of them savaging you limb from limb—but don't worry the internet's got you covered with this remote-controlled camera buggy that puts you in close contact without the danger.
Personal transport just took a turn for the volo, with this two-seater electric helicopter which uses 18 rotors to lift you and a passenger off the ground so people can point and go "Wow!"—it even has remote control.
Goddamn robots, first they take our jobs, then they steal our women, then they beam the internet into our brains, and now they're solving our Rubik's Cube in one second! They will stop at nothing to shame us.
If water could misbehave, this is how it would act—watch in utter amazement as water droplets travel uphill and whizz around a maze, due to super-high temperatures that cause a layer of vapour to form below them which they then glide about on. Science, bitches!
OK, everyone make sure they're sitting down because you're about to watch a video of a woman who's attracted to a Ferris Wheel she's loved for decades — it's known as objectum sexuality (so I'm told), and describes when humans form romantic feelings for inanimate objects.
OK, prepare to be grossed out, with factoids like there's more germs on your body right now than people in the USA and other horrors to show you why your mother was right about personal hygiene — and why we should all just let the five second rule go.

Hornet Radio repairs
Hi, I am new to the forums, and I have a question that I am hoping someone can help with. I purchased a 1952 Hudson Hornet in November, and I am getting it roadworthy. One of the items needing attention is the radio. A friend in town is an antique radio buff, and he got the original 6v radio working for me, replacing the vibrator and all the old capacitors. The radio works, but the reception leaves a lot to be desired. The antenna is good. I would like to find the procedures for "aligning" it, and I don't know where to find the info. Anyone know where I can find this?? I didn't see anything on the HET Club website, but I may have missed it as I am a new member of that club. Thanks again in advance, Bob Halverson
Bob, if you look on the same side of the chassis as the antenna input, there should be another post just below it. That is your antenna trim knob. I beleve the standard proceedure is to let the set warm up for 15 min, then tune to a "weak" station near 1200 Kc, and adjust that knob back & forth until the station comes in at "maximum volume. Are you in the SF Bay Area ? Your name sounds familiar...Anyway, there can be a lot of other things that will affect the radio's performance. If that adjustment doesn't do it, there are some local & national resources that can put the set right....Good Luck.
Yes, I did adjust the trimmer like my radio friend suggested. That did bring the reception up, but I still feel it should pull in more stations, especially at night. But AM stations may not be what they used to be when I listened to them in my younger years.

Yeah, I don't think those old Mexican border radio stations are still broadcasting - back in the 50's I used to listen to some great rock and roll from a couple of those stations on a Saturday night, on the car radio - in Maine!!!!!!!!!!Them border stations lit up the airwaves. Of course, the skip had a lot to do with it. On this side of the border was able to pickup the Grand Ole Opry from Nashville occasionally.

You could have your friend solder an MP 3 input right in front of the old tube amplifier. Then you can listen to the music on your I-phone or MP3 player through the old tube radio, which really sounds great. I know because I just had it done.
Alternatively you could also use a redi-rad. This way you are not limited to today's AM stations that are no match to the old X-stations.

The picture shows the Hudson alignments to maximize the reception and audio output for your radio. To capture this JPG, click on the picture and download it to your computer, if you want to print it...click on the picture and select print target.
Good Luck

Thanks so much for the info. I had found the "Sams Photofact" for a DB48 radio on the HET site, but it was very hard to read. Your info differs a lot from that one. Do you have the layout with the A1 thru A10 coils as I don't want to trust the DB48 info as being the same!! Thanks again- If it is easier, email it to email@example.com Bob Halverson, Marshalltown Iowa
Thanks, Mike. I hadn't even heard of Ready-Rad, but after looking it up, it looks like a great product. I will probably try to get the AM reception up to snuff before I decide- the AM radio in my Cherokee pulls in a LOT more stations than the Hudson radio does right now, so we will see!!!! Bob Halverson, Marshalltown, IA
Try www.rediscoverradio.com , the site for Brew City Engineering. They make "plug & play" devices that allow you to use satellite radio, your IPOD, MP3 players etc. to play right through your regular Hudson radio. They have models for both 12V and 6V systems. There are several other devices out there also, just search the internet or ebay. I use something similar on my Hornet to listen to Sirius.
I know what you mean. I remember listening to an AM station out of Idaho while I was driving through Louisiana at about 2:00 in the morning, back in the 60's. All I get locally now is the crop reports in VietNamese and Hindi....Good Luck, Bob -
Well, you may also have some weak tubes or bad electrolytic condensers, but that would require a real tech to check things out. Those guys are out there too.....
That's what my friend did- he replaced all the capacitors, and tested the tubes. The radio comes on in about 12 seconds, and sounds good, but it just seems to pull in few stations compared to the AM in my other cars. If I can get all the aligment specs, that should help.

Louis Vuitton to Open its First Travel Retail Store at South Korea's Incheon International Airport
Louis Vuitton has received a number of inquiries encouraging them to open a travel retail outlet, but the French luxury brand has rejected each and every one of them. Until now, that is, as incoming reports state that the iconic marque will open its first airport location at Korea's Incheon International Airport in the second half of 2011.
The decision to green-light the landmark location was reportedly made after LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault personally visiting Incheon to see its signature Airstar Avenue duty-free mall. The South Korean market remains a vital one for Louis Vuitton, which continues to out-sell rivals such as Gucci and Coach in the northeast Asian country. The store at Incheon is expected to attract travelers with an appetite for luxury from Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and mainland China as well.

Origin: Blended
Leaf Type: Scented Black Tea
Taste: Lightly perfumed with bergamot
Drink: Light without milk or strong with milk
Brew: 3-5 minutes according to taste
When to drink: Afternoon
For many, Earl Grey is the afternoon tea of choice, enticingly light and infused with bergamot to give it the exotic flavour and aroma that we all love.
Our Afternoon Earl Grey is distinguished by a lighter begamot taste. It is a lightly perfumed, classic blend of quality Indian and China teas and is a quintessentially English tea. It takes its name from the 1830s English Prime Minister, Charles Grey, although the true origin of the tea is uncertain. A luxurious afternoon tea, it was originally drunk almost exclusively by aristocrats, lightly brewed and usually without milk.
Nowadays there are few people who haven't savoured the aromatic taste of a good cup of Earl Grey. Whittard's blend is outstanding with just the right balance of bergamot. It is a favourite afternoon tea, drunk with or without milk.

Nothing else to do this winter, knew I had to get new guides sooner or later, if anyone wants to look at an old set of seats and valves from a 900.
I was expecting recession. Looks like a valve job with new guides should get by for now. Don't think this needs new valve seats? Maybe new exhaust valves depending on what the tec says? Awhile back, somewhere, somebody said the older valve seats presented no problem as to the use of unleaded gas? Definitely oily.

A Brief History of Happy Socks
If youth is something which tends to bring out the green eyed monster within, then you really wont get on with Happy Socks; one of the youngest and indeed most adorable brands in the fashion world. Starting life as recently as 2008, the Swedish brand Happy Socks had a very simple goal and one which might be easy to gleam from their name. As their mission statement itself reads, the core goal was to take an item which we all take for granted, a simple, everyday piece of clothing and give it a designer spin. Well, even though a handful of years have passed since Happy Socks were founded in the spring of 2008, the brand has already been largely successful and today, Happy Socks operate in many countries.
All the Happy Socks goods are manufactured in Turkey by a family run business and then shipped worldwide to their stockists. In fact, whilst the idea of a polite and fun-loving Swedish company might already be somewhat familiar to you in the wake of Ikea and the like, this particular brand seems to be focussed on keeping things interesting and indeed ethical at the same time and what's more, there are plenty of socks to consider from this ever rising brand.

I have been to many conferences and workshops over the years, and by far this was the most interactive and most informative I have attended to date. Well worth the investment of my time.
Dave McCormick, Director of Admissions/Vice President, Herzing College Ottawa
I attended the first ever NACC Leadership Academy, and I could not believe how much I learned. I have been in the private education business for 22 years and found this to be one of the best professional development seminars I have ever attended. From understanding financial statements to human resources, there was valuable information that helps me in my day to day responsibilities. It was also so great to network with other education professionals from around the country. I would recommend this for any individual in a management position.
Cheryl Harrison, Vice President – Operations, MC College
I thoroughly enjoyed attending the 2012 NACC Leadership Academy. It was great to network with my colleagues from schools across the country while learning about leadership and training. I particularly enjoyed the sessions covering the Strengths Finder profile and human resource management. I look forward to hearing about future Leadership Academies.

The European debt crisis influenced the global market place this past week as the on-again, off-again Greek bailout kept traders and investors concerned. Whether or not Greece is bailed out, the stigma of the rioting and that the Greek economy is unable to sustain the debt service on existing loans is not going to be solved with another bailout. The necessity to make this bailout work -- i.e. severe austerity programs as well has having financial institutions take a 60% or more haircut on the obligations -- solves nothing. With the prospect of similar problems with Italy, the third largest economy in the Euro, and Spain among others, we could very well see a Eurozone meltdown.
The question of whether or not Germany, the most solvent of the Eurozone countries, can continue to support bailouts as they occur, was also raised recently. Great Britain is already balking at continuing to fund the IMF or ECB if it means throwing money down a well with bailouts. On the basis of the ongoing questions related to the impact of the debt crisis on global economies and markets, we must once again temper our recommendations. Now for some actual information...
Interest Rates: June Treasury bonds closed at 14021, down 6/32nds tied to positive U.S. economic data but offset by the ongoing question of the Greek bailout. The reported increase in production volume at U.S. factories was better than expected in December according to the Federal Reserve. Another positive for the economy was the NAHB housing market index of 29 for February up from 25 in January, the highest level for homebuilding since May of 2007. However, the January retail sales report released during the week was less that forecast by economists but was up 0.4% for last month after a flat December as reported by the Commerce Department.With the data basically mixed, we could see continued sideways action for treasuries. We favor the prospect of continued lower rates and higher bond prices. Hold short put positions for now.
Stock Indices: The Dow Jones Industrials closed at 12949.87, up 45.79 and for the week gained 1.16%. The expectation that a Greek bailout is being worked out due to expanded austerity measures by Greece was a positive influence on equities. The better than expected U.S. economic data was also a positive. Economic data reported by France and Germany, the two largest Eurozone economies was an improved GDP and increased the possibility of an easier to fathom Greek bailout. The S&P 500 closed at 1361.23, up 3.19 and for the week gained 1.38%. The Nasdaq closed at 2951.78, down 8.07 but for the week managed a gain of 1.65%. The Dow is closing in on the psychologically important 13,000 level. With the Iranian cutoff of oil to Great Britain and France, crude price could accelerate their price gains. We continue to suggest implementing hedging strategies in the expectation that even with a Greek bailout, there are "hidden" problems with other countries within the "zone". While equities could gain further we continue to warn that any change or geopolitical events could prompt a sharp selloff in equities. Any rally should be used as an opportunity to implement hedging strategies.
Currencies: The June U.S. dollar index closed at 7984.6, up 1.1 points on shortcovering in front of the three day holiday weekend. The June Euro closed at 13165, up 18 points on continued expectations of a resolution to the Greek debt crisis, something we do not believe will be, if it comes through, without significant repercussions. The June Swiss Franc gained 2 ticks to close at $1.0906, and the British pound gained 40 points to 15825. The June yen fell against most currencies after the Bank of Japan announced an increase of the size of its asset purchase fund. The Canadian dollar closed unchanged at 10014 while the Australian dollar lost 39 points to 10576. We continue to favor the dollar on the basis of improved economic data which would preclude further Fed easing and make the dollar more attractive for foreign investment.
Next page: Energies and ags
Energies: March crude il closed at $103.24 per barrel, up 93c and its highest closing level for the nearby contract since May of last year. Expectation that Greece would get another bailout and the strength in the Euro against the dollar prompted buying. For the week Nymex crude gained 4.6%. We view the buying as "irrational exuberance", an historic phrase of the past. Any change in the Greek bailout prospects or the potential for other eurozone country problems could prompt selling of Euros and strength for the dollar. For now the Iranian halt to oil shipments to Great Britain and France could prompt further price gains for crude oil. Stand aside.
Copper: May copper closed at $3.72 per pound, down 7c even as the dollar weakened this week. Disappoint inflation data from China could prompt reduced imports of the metal and a 15.3% decline in imports last month also a psychological factor in the selling. We continue to feel global economies remain weak and that could preclude demand for construction materials such as copper. Improved housing data was responsible for the strength in copper during the week. Hold put positions but do not add for now.
Precious Metals: April gold closed at $1,725.90 per ounce, down $2.50 as the improved U.S. economic data prompted the move of funds to equities from the usual safe haven of precious metals and treasuries. Expectation of increased inflation could prompt attraction to precious metals as a hedge. We continue to favor the sidelines for now. March silver closed at $33.216 per ounce, down 15.4c losing 1.2% for the week but for the year up 19%. We continue to prefer silver to gold on any new interest in precious metals. For now we would stand aside. The Eurozone debt crisis could prompt renewed interest in precious metals depending on the almost daily influx of news. April platinum closed at $1,633.90 per ounce on Friday, up $7.80 or 0.5% while March palladium lost $8.50 or 1.2% to close at $688.10 per ounce. For the year palladium has gained 4.9%. We continue to favor palladium over platinum if only due to the price disparity.
Grains and Oilseeds: May corn closed at $6.45 ¼ per bushel, up 5 1/2c tied to dry conditions in some growing areas of Northern U.S. and Canada. Less than average rainfall since August in Iowa and dry conditions in the upper Midwest in front of spring plantings is causing concern and some long hedges. We like corn from here but would scale into position. May wheat closed at $6.47 ¾ per bushel, up 12 1/2c and as with corn, the weather is increasingly problematic. We continue to favor the long side of wheat. May soybeans closed at $12.73 ¾ per bushel, up 8 3/4c tied to a recent huge order from China. We continue to favor the long side of soybeans as well. Key elements to watch are the weather and the U.S. dollar.
Meats: April cattle closed at $1.3090 per pound, up 1.25c tied to a scarcity of supplies. We continue to favor the long side of cattle but would bring up the trailing stops since we are in new high ground for prices. April hogs closed at 90.37c per pound, up 0.15c mostly tied to position squaring in front of the three day holiday weekend. We favor the sidelines for hogs.
Coffee, Sugar and Cocoa: May coffee closed at $2.0235 per pound, up 1.15c mostly on technically oversold considerations after coffee fell from nearly $3.00 per pound since last September. Expectations for Brazilian output to rise to a record this year is expected to continue to pressure prices. We like the sidelines. May cocoa closed at $2,345 per tonne, down $60 tied to continued origin selling and the recent shortcovering that moved prices higher has dissipated. We favor the sidelines after having been bullish as prices seemed to want to re-visit the $2,500 per tonne level. May sugar closed at 23.77c per pound, up 4 little points and remains in a tight range. Brazil is expected to convert more cane into ethanol but not enough to create supply concerns. We consider sugar a trading affair with the recent range
Cotton: July cotton closed at 93.65c per pound, down 1.21 and remains stuck in a range for February between 98c and current prices. Improved export sales could prompt new buying early in the week. We like cotton from here for a move back to $1.00 but use stops. We are close to recent support levels and any breach could prompt long liquidation and new shorts.
