The Corvettes of Pratt & Miller and GM Racing headed west, arriving at California's Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for an old-fashioned, knock-down, drag-out confrontation with their season-long rivals from Aston Martin. If the Corvettes could score a Second Place in class or better, they would take home the Manufacturer's title for Chevrolet. Anything less would give the Astons the championship, or at least a share in the title.
Throughout the season, ALMS officials had contrived to intensify the battle by constantly fiddling with the amount of weight carried by the two cars. In further efforts to create a level playing field, series stewards also choked down the amount of air the Corvettes' Katech engines were allowed to breathe. For the last race of the season, the Corvette would be penalized with an air restriction and 50 kilograms (about 110 pounds) of added weight. The Aston DBR9 was only hit with the weight increase.
This year, Monterey's famous 2.238-mile track offered fantastic race weather, with the sun shining and no clouds to be seen. Track temperatures were in the mid-70s for most of the week. Qualifying provided an interesting glimpse at the teams' divergent strategies. The Corvettes charged out to put their best numbers on the board, with Johnny O'Connell pushing the team to the front of the class grid and using most of the available track time to accomplish it.
The Aston Martin team, meanwhile, stayed in the pits until they had seen what the Corvettes were capable of. Then, with just a few minutes left in the only qualifying session, the No. 009 DBR9 went out and established a class pole-position number on its second hot lap of the course. With that accomplished, the team brought the car back in and sent out its stablemate. The No. 007 car settled for a fourth-place starting position in class after just three tours of the newly resurfaced Laguna track.
Prodrive was apparently intent on placing its cars around the Corvettes in an effort to take advantage of any situation that might arise during the opening laps. It was painfully obvious that the team's DBR9s had the horsepower to do anything they wanted, when they wanted-perhaps not surprising in light of the engine restrictions placed on the C6.Rs.
Saturday's four-hour afternoon race started right on time at 2:45 pm. That meant the competition was to be staged in the afternoon's slightly cooler temperatures with a finish in the dark of night. Laguna's relatively short front straight leads uphill to the start/finish line and tends to bunch up the field, leaving many cars to round the initial corner even as the starter's flag falls. Once over the hill, everyone rushes to grab the most advantageous place to get around a very tight Turn 2. This year that task was completed without incident, and as the green flag was displayed to the field, the 007 Aston motored past one Corvette then another with a striking lack of effort.
The GT1 field quickly settled into an Aston/Aston/Corvette/Corvette lineup. During the opening lap, one of the GT2 Ferraris got into the Corvette No. 4 car of Olivier Beretta and ripped open the left-rear quarter-panel. This caused the team to pit the car early for repairs, putting them out of sequence with the rest of the field and the No. 3 car of Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell.
Olivier was not to be denied, however, and went about putting his car back into contention. The race was a pitched battle between the two teams for the next three hours, with everyone getting the chance to run in the class lead. Any lapse in driver concentration, any flaw in the crew's pit-stop performance, or any failure in the car's mechanical integrity would decide the outcome of the match.
During this time, a combination of pit stops, full-course yellows, and a driver change in the No. 3 car (O'Connell subbing for Fellows), allowed No. 4 to slip ahead of its Corvette Racing teammate. The C6.Rs found themselves sitting in the third and fourth positions in GT1, while the Astons held down first and second. With the Manufacturer's title on the line, the teams locked into what would prove to be one of the best races of the year on any racetrack.
With 76 minutes left in the contest, Stephane Sarrazin pitted the 009 Aston for fuel and tires. Two minutes later the cars of Corvette Racing came in for their final pit stop. They were now in synch with each other for the final service appointment. With their last driver substitution accomplished earlier, the No. 3 car was in for fuel and tires only, getting out quickly ahead of No. 4, now piloted by Beretta. This put Johnny O. ahead of Olivier, and the Corvettes were still running a disappointing third and fourth in class.
Finally, fate dealt the Aston team a blow. With 56 minutes remaining, Tomas Enge in the 007 DBR9 suffered a left-front-tire failure and was forced to limp around the course before the team could effect repairs. Sarrazin, in the 009 car, swept past his teammate to assume the lead in class, with the Corvettes inheriting championship-winning second and third positions. By the time Enge reentered the race, his Aston was relegated to a position one lap down to the trailing Corvette.
Johnny O'Connell's job now was to pressure the lead Aston. With aggressive driving, he was able to cut Sarrazin's lead to 0.486 second with just 35 minutes remaining in the contest. Then, with 25 minutes to go, Johnny finally caught Sarrazin and pushed the issue by passing the Aston going into Laguna's lefthander leading onto the front straight. The two raced door-handle-to-door-handle under the starter's tower, over the hill, through the slight Turn 1 kink, and into the track's tight, switchback Turn 2.

In the twentieth century, interior design choices were largely the domain of women – which may explain pastel floral couches and mauve carpeting. When guys did have a say, their spaces were predictably clad in sturdy shades of brown or forest green.
Justine Blanda-Wengrod still sees those preferences in her Los Angeles-based residential interior design practice. "Men seem to gravitate to deeper, richer colors. Most women like pale, soft hues."
Joel Sanders, principal of Joel Sanders Architect in New York and Associate Professor of Architecture at Yale University, also sees gender playing a part in color selections. Guys are "a little fearful of colors that are traditionally feminine," such as purple, lavender or pink. But, Sanders cautions, context matters. Centuries ago, pink was considered masculine and popular in men's clothing. Today's metrosexual men have once again embraced pink as a fashionable clothing choice.
But when it comes to interiors, males usually prefer neutral, earth-toned elements, such as sand and stone, Sanders says. Meanwhile, Blanda-Wengrod recalls a female client who looked at 75 paint samples before making a selection, something that has never happened with a male client.
Is there any biological basis for gender color preferences? Perhaps. Research finds that men identify fewer colors than women and are 16 percent more likely to be color-blind. Women not only see, but respond favorably, to a wider range of colors. One University of Texas study found that white, gray and beige offices were depressing to women, while men felt similar negative feelings in orange and purple rooms.
Regardless of their differences, says Blanda-Wengrod, men and women share the same goals for color. With busy lives, both want "comfort and relaxation" – whatever color it comes in.

New For 2013Cadillac engineered the ATS sport sedan from the ground up, starting with extensive work on its new Alpha rear-wheel-drive platform, a luxurious interior with the touch-capacitive CUE infotainment system, and a handsome exterior. Smaller than the CTS, the ATS takes direct aim at the heart of the luxury sport sedan market—the Audi A4, BMW 3-series, Infiniti G37, and Mercedes-Benz C-class.
OverviewGeneral Motors put all of its engineering know-how into the new Alpha platform on which the rear-wheel-drive ATS is built, and, in fact, the new lightweight vehicle architecture will go on to underpin the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro and Cadillac CTS. To bring home the message that the ATS will be a driver's car, Germany's famed Nürburgring served as a key development ground. Powering the ATS are three available engines. The base powerplant, which is quite smooth, is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 200 hp. The most powerful is the same 3.6-liter V-6 found in the CTS and other GM products that is known for its strong and smooth power delivery; here it is rated at 320 hp. The third engine is all-new and was specifically developed for the ATS: a 2.0-liter turbocharged in-line four-cylinder that produces a BMW 328i–besting 270 hp. Manual and automatic transmissions are offered, both with six speeds. Rear-wheel drive is standard, as befitting a performance-oriented sedan; all-wheel drive is an option. As far as styling goes, Cadillac's Art & Science design language has been toned down here with fewer angles and more traditional proportions, but the ATS is still unmistakably a Cadillac—and one that proves to be very entertaining to drive, as well.
SafetyFront, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; stability and traction control; rear parking sensors; OnStar with automatic crash notification and emergency services; and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard. Lane-departure warning, forward-collision alert, a vibrating Safety Alert Seat, blind-zone alert, automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control are optional.

MOTUC has no Dwarves, and in a world where science and magic rein supreme, i figure there is room for a dwarf somewhere in there and Trog totally fits that bill. He was leader of the dwarves in the ladybird book, "Wings of Doom", helping heman and startos free delora from the vale of caldor. He reminded me of the dwarf from the power and honor book actually. For accessories he should come with his short sword and shield.

The Heritage Center and Museum of Independent Telephony
412 S. Campbell St.
Abilene Kansas 67410United States
(785) 263-2681
Editor's Review
Midwest Living Recommends
It's worth a stop for a whirl on the 1901 carousel and to learn about how independent phone companies kept America connected.
Located on a back street hemmed between the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum campus and Old Abilene Town, the Heritage Center is a pleasant surprise worthy of an hour's visit. It's amazing how small-town Abilene has impacted American life. Set up in chronological order, dioramas quickly cover Dickinson County history, starting with fossil beds and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado's Kansas quest for El Dorado. The region's Native American history, prairie settler emigration, Abilene's cow town beginnings and the shaping influence of the 1866 Union Pacific Railroad are all covered. Within the Heritage Center is the Museum of Independent Telephony, tracing the birth of non-Bell telephone companies. The start-ups sprung up "so towns could talk" when Bell's patents expired in 1884. In 1911, Kansas independents merged, forming Abilene's United Telephone Company, which later became today's Sprint Corp. Exhibits show the telephone's technical evolution and its revolutionary impact on American culture. Out back, preserved pioneer-period buildings house a blacksmith shop, general store and barn of antique buggies and tractors. Take a whirl on an original wooden 1901 C.W. Parker Carousel (a national landmark). In 1890, Parker opened his business in Abilene, growing it into the nation's largest manufacturer of carnival and amusement devices. Admission charged.

The measure of 15mm Fantasy - 16/02/2015
Once upon a time, Rod, our newest member of staff, was given a bit of a tedious job to do. He had to measure all the 15 mm fantasy foot to eye so that you would be able to compare the difference between Chariot Miniatures and Blood Dawn 15mm. As we are often asked how big they really are.

This doesn't happen for all images as the way we've taken them over the last 13 years has evolved (they have to be >400x400 pixels to zoom). Nonetheless, most images show the figure several times actual size and for many products there is more than one picture to choose from.

Based on the best-selling novel by George V. Higgins, The Friends of Eddie Coyle chronicles the last days of a weary Boston-based weapons dealer.

Coyle is likewise unwilling to give up his lifestyle, thus he continues his illegal gun-running operation for the underworld. The mob becomes aware that Eddie is squealing to the cops, so they send his best friend, Dillon (Peter Boyle), to rub him out. Dillon compassionately takes Eddie out on the town, treating him to dinner and a hockey game...then drives to a deserted field to carry out his orders.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I wonder if the feast she had on her vacation would pass the standard she imposes on the nation's children.
Hard hitting analysis from Andrew Sullivan on how the right is being hypocritical on the unrest in the middle east.
There is, of course, great potential for bad as well as good in these kind of transformative moments in history - the Arab 1848 as it were. We should be vigilant on that score. But it is bizarre to read conservatives who praised the Iraq war that led to the empowerment of al Sadr and the deaths of hundreds of thousands in a country occupied by the US to be now retroactively endorsing the other Saddams of the Middle East.

What do I need to do to get the kind of attention in the blogosphere that Andrew Sullivan gets?
Drink? Eat paint chips? Watch an episode of Sesame Street hosted by Biden?
I haven't walked a mile in his shoes, so I don't know if it comes naturally...or does someone like Sully have to work at it to be so stupid?
How is it "bizarre" that conservatives have a different outlook on the middle east unrest now when they were the launching pad for the Iraq war? The reasons are so obvious I feel bad listing them at the risk of insulting everyone's intelligence. Then again, I get liberals visitors so this can be for their benefit.
For these reasons conservatives are wary of what's happening in that part of the world. The only thing that's truly "bizarre" about all of this is the left's inability to understand such an elementary distinction.
I put Sully in that lefty box even though he considers himself to be a conservative, which is fine because I consider myself to be the world's first billion dollar rodeo clown.
After digesting several of Sully's blog posts that he, for his sake, should confess to having had a child ghost write, I can only conclude that the only thing about him that's conservative is his brain cell count.Add a comment
From Funny or Die (h/t iOwnTheWorld)
Wikileaks Uncovers President Obama's President's Day Itinerary
John Fund has an excellent piece at the Wall Street Journal about what is at stake Wisconsin. Basically, he asks if politics gets to be run by the voters or the unions.
I think that's a valid question. The people of Wisconsin decided last fall how their government should be set up. Like every other state, they're faced with a fiscal crisis. I don't know the ins and outs of their government, but if their problems are anything like my state, California, then the alpha and omega of its budget problems lies in the leviathan-sized parasite that is the public employee unions.
That said, I feel like we are given false choices on this, because I always thought that the government operated on midichlorians. If you're not a complete nerd like me then you should know that's the stuff that powers The Force...the magic stuff that Jedi's are made of.
I've thought this for years because governments negotiated awesome contracts with their employee unions that gave them pay that was has often been better than their private sector counterparts, to make up for the down-side to government work being a complete lack of accountability they also got perks worked in to their contracts that included earlier retirement age, sweet pension deals that include a treaty with hell (sorry libs, heaven isn't a union shop) to continue salary payments after death, and other miscellaneous stuff, like gold plated time cards.
All of this stuff costs money. Where does the money come from? Its a process that magically involves union dues, which came from government employee paychecks, which came from your wallet....aka The Force.
The Force performs mind tricks that prevent people from caring that it causes budget deficits.
When the deficits get too powerful to succumb to mind tricks The Force then gets
activists clones that are manufactured for the sole purpose of "the cause" and don't think beyond the orders they're given (aka stormtroopers) to activate and form protests.
They chant stuff about solidarity, which must be translated after the fact with U.N.-like precision by the mainstream media, because to me it just sounds like the noise kids make when they fire pretend lasers.
Sith lords Union bosses know the power of the force well, and have used its power to take over the Republic. So Fund's choices were false ones because it's pretty clear the labor unions use midichlorians convince governments that it's capable of superhuman equations like:
Retirement at 50 + generous overtime + pensions at 100% of salary - accountability = balanced budget
Hopefully life imitates art, and the ragtag band of fiscally sane conservatives elected a few months ago will overcome the odds and defeat the fiscal death star that is currently at t-minus 10 seconds away from blowing up the world's economy with its beam of
irresponsible narcissism workers rights.

Knee jerk reactions favoring unions is about a lot more than money for the left...
If there is any question how the party that accuses the GOP as constitution and democracy tramplers would handle respect for the will of the people let this be the answer.
Law enforcement officers are searching for Democratic senators boycotting a Senate vote on Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair plan Thursday in an attempt to bring the lawmakers to the floor to allow Republicans to act on the bill.
As Republicans denounced the move, one Democratic senator said that he believed most of the members of his caucus are in another state....
The bill would help balance the state budget by cutting benefits for public workers and stripping them of almost all their union bargaining rights.
More here at the Journal Sentinel
If my memory serves me correctly the same tactic was used when the Texas GOP's redistricting made Dems cry a few years back. In Congress the GOP is the party of "no." Call me crazy, but I think that's a lot less cowardly than being the party of "no show."
It's getting really old hearing these people carp on and on about how the right flouts democracy when it's the left that ignore public opinion polls and the anger of their own constituents. Now Dems in Wisconsin don't even want to respect the decisions of the people their electorate put into power.
If the shoe were on the other foot the left would say it was just another example of a long list of non-existent ways the right hates the will of the people.
This is not civil disobedience, our representatives are given the privalege, and often times paid hansomely, to be entrusted by the public to set and vote on policy. With that comes no guarantee that they can and will get their way...ESPECIALLY when their party is in the minority.
All of that said, I'd like to suggest a modest proposal that all Democrats be required to wear "democracy burkas" from now on. These are basically burkas modified to have the American flag on them. On the outside people see "AMERICA!" This is obviously symbolic, which leads me to phase two of my modest proposal:
Change the Democratic Party slogan from "Change that Matters" to "Never judge a book by its cover"
I know this sounds an awful lot like the markings Jews had to wear in Nazi Germany, but its not...the Jews didn't deserve to be singled out. Besides if we ever go overboard and round them up we're just going to send them to San Francisco anyway.
They'll like that. Put peanut butter on a spoon and let a dog lick it forever like they just entered heaven. Thats a liberal in San Francisco...wearing their Democracy Burka.
I know it sounds crazy, insane, and should be rejected on it's face, but after seeing Obama's $1.6 trillion deficit guarantee for next year I think this is just as deserving of the nation's consideration.Add a comment
It's amazing how "unplugged" from the world you can become when you bring a new life into the world, suddenly the other 6 billion people in it completely fade into the background. My phone, which is perpetually trained on The Drudge Report and Memeorandum have been neglected like the black ink cabinet at the CBO. I care, and I've been anxious to get back to heckling the liberals of the world, but its amazing how disinterested a brand new baby that you just made, in your arms, can make you.
So, I just found out about Lara Logan's sexual assault last Friday in Cairo. As this is a blog that strives for humor, its obvious that there is absolutely nothing funny that can be gleaned from this.
One thing that we can take away is that in addition to it being a tragedy, and that it should be the height of embarrassment for any nation to have this happen, it should also highlight the complete absurdity of the efforts our government takes to pat down, and "randomly" check, for "security reasons," blond soccer moms that want to fly to Topeka....or....
Lara Logan was merely doing her job, and savage beasts attacking her without provocation in the middle east region of the world would be cliche, but for the naivete of liberal political correctness that reacts as if something like this could never have been seen coming.
Imagine if she walked into an Al Qaeda headquarters and asking to become a new recruit. "Regular Joes" in Egypt didn't trust or appreciate her enough to tell their story to us, is there anyone other than Janet Napolitano and the rest of the Obama administration that doesn't think would do worse than a group of savage street thugs?
The left wont learn anything from this. What happened to Lara Logan is really just the latest in a LONG list of crimes against humanity in general, and women specifically, that have been perptrated in that part of the world for decades, centuries even...if you want to be a stickler for keeping score.
Every time something like this happens it's a real "teachable moment" for the entire world. The right has understood this since 9-11 while the left still can't figure out how to just get the dunce cap up above their eyes.Add a comment
I am officially a daddy! I'm pleased to introduce baby Catherine Anne "McAndersen."
Now I know what you're thinking, because I thought the same thing...boy does she look sharper than Biden!
If you saw the way her lip quivers when she cries, its not only SUPER-cute, but it's the best impression of liberals arguing I've ever seen.
After all this time I finally have a muse!
Thank you for all the well wishes and support I've received from so many of you. It has been overwhelming. I'm blessed to have my new daughter, and blessed again for the friends I have, and have made through this blog.
I'm looking forward to getting the hang of this whole dad thing so I can get back to doing my thing here. No rush though :-)Add a comment
I've mentioned this only a few times, so it may be a surprise to most that my wife and I have been expecting our very first little conservative foot soldier (is still it too soon to be using that "rhetoric" again?), and "baby watch" offically starts now. Our due date is still about a week away, but today for medical reasons the doctors may have to force this baby on us immediately.
When I say "force" on us, I do NOT mean it like I'm talking about ObamaCare. She's going to be way cuter than the accounting tricks used to say it reduces the deficit. She'll be way more fun than a Canadian emergency room pergatory. Everyone we know wants our baby to come, so she enjoys a 100% approval rating. She wont cost us (or you) nearly as much, and the messes she's going to make wont be anywhere close to being as disgusting as this is...
The only place that flowchart belongs in is a dirty diaper.
When she arrives, posting over the following several days will be spotty, if at all, except for maybe updates...
***UPDATES (in order of newest to oldest)***
February 15 - Today is my daughters birthday. It's not how we imagined it would come, scheduled. We thought it we were going to do it naturally. Yeah labor would be long and painful, like the shock my brain gave me when I considered becoming a Democrat in college (because they don't have brains and mine was reminding me of that), but it was important that we did it the way God intended us to give birth. We realize doctors don't order c-sections unless there is some kind of risk to doing it naturally, and her safety comes first no matter what! So we are ready for this!
At the time of this writing we are 30 minutes away from leaving for the hospital, so I better get off this keyboard and go get ready. I'm sure my wife wouldn't appreciate seeing me blogging and testing our daughters pacifiers in one of her now destroyed onesies.
The wife wont believe it's my Lady Gaga costume, again.
February 14 - Since the baby is breach and the doctor says the chance of her flipping into position is very slim at this point, we have gone ahead and scheduled a c-section has been scheduled for tomorrow. So I will officially be a dad in less than 24 hours!!! I think I'll be good for one more post and then I'll probably have to check out for a couple of days.
February 11 - Wife had her fluid levels check, her OB was concerned they were getting too low to let the pregnancy continue without intervention. The levels went up from the last visit so we're good for today. She has another appointment on Tuesday. Our little girl is currently breach and our due date is the 20th, so they'll probably schedule a c-section in the likelihood she doesn't flip or have her fluid levels drop to a point that is too low to continue. Other than this minor detail we've been blessed with one of the easiest pregnancies probably in the history of man, and we're told her vitals look great. So no complaints!Add a comment

How can we embed movies from the Media Hub so that pages validate?

Washington lawyer Jonathan Cuneo recalls how every kid had to have one when they first became small enough to carry around in a pocket.

Purity wrote:Picked up the Halo 4 blue spartan soldier. Pretty great figure! A few minor complaints: the BR seems a bit too slim, I wish his armor was removable, and, this has been a complaint of mine ever since the Reach line, I really hope they'd bring back the bicep swivel in these guys. It really gives more realistic and overall more cool looking poses. But, aside from that, his sculpt and paint are phenomenal. It's a really fantastic figure. Let's put it this way: I'm not a big fan of 4's new art style(it's dratically different from the previous games who's art I love) but thanks to these figures(this one in particular, I am slowly growing more and more fond of it!
One of the things about 4 that everyone thought was mainly them changing the art, especially the Chief's armor, was also the fact that they added a lot more detail to it visually than you saw in the other cut scenes. though they never did explain why the covenant look so different in this one, i'm just assuming it's because they're a different group. It might get explained later on.
A bunch of Halo minimates, 2 cortanas and a master chief holding a cortana. The halo action clix cortana's too pricey at the moment. Oddly enough i found a different version of the cortana halo clix for 6.00 compared to 20.00 for the blue one.

Those three traits, however, have also served to help Lee Iaccoca realize one of the most ardent and impassioned goals of his life—a cure for Type 1 diabetes.
In 1984, following the death of his wife Mary as the result of diabetes complications, Iacocca founded The Iacocca Foundation, which has emerged as one of the country's premiere funders of diabetes research.
For nearly 20 years, The Iacocca Foundation has sought out researchers and provided funding for innovative and promising research. "Typically, discovery work is the most difficult research to secure funding," says Dana Ball, Foundation Operations Manager. "But it is exactly this type of work which The Iacocca Foundation has funded over the past 20 years."
Today, at 79 years of age, Iacocca—who lives in Bel Air, California, and in Palm Desert, California—still takes an active role in The Iacocca Foundation, which is headed by his daughter, Kathryn Iacocca Hentz. He also sits on the board of Feed the World and is heavily involved with the Ellis Island project and Reading Is Fundamental. He is also a very active and involved grandfather of seven. According to Ball, "He's no different now than when he was head of Chrysler. He works every day, dividing his time between several different interests both in the business world and philanthropy."
With the announcement of a potential cure for Type 1 diabetes, Mr. Iacocca said, "I have been hoping to live long enough to see a cure [for diabetes]. Yet, I've said that for 20 years. Now, with enough help, I think I just might."

Of course, not all Germans or other Europeans were anti-semitic and many did try to help Jews and other minorities escape. However, it's no accident that the largest numbers of Jews were saved in the Scandinavian countries, which historically had a higher degree of tolerance for Jews than the rest of Europe.

But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there'll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too?

Rated 5 out of 5Â by alm7 Love I normally wear a size 7.5 and I sized a half size down (After reading the first review) Good thing I did! There's definitely room to spare in the foot area. The ankle straps fit just perfect. They are adjustable. I could tighten them if I need too, but I like the looser fit arond the ankle. I find these to be super comfy. I wore them to work, an 8 hour shift of standing and walking (retail) I'd say that's a pretty good test, no complaints about comfort. 4.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KaliRS Obsessed Just received these shoes today. I'm normally about a size 7.5-8, but I purchased a 7 based on the other reviews, and they fit so well! I would definitely recommend sizing at least a half size down. They're adorable and are surprisingly great quality. I feel like a Roman princess:) 10.5.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Julzfp summer essential <3 LOVE. can't wait for the weather to be warmer so i can wear these out !!! i order them in a 6 1/2 which is my regular size and they wer SO SO LARGE my toes barely made it to the last strap. so i sent them back for a 6 which fit great, maybe a little loose, so i do suggest sizing at least a half size down. the soles are really flat, which won't make for a comfortable walking shoe but they are cute so whatev:) buy them! they look amaz with hi-lo dresses and shorts! 3.30.2012

About the ManufacturerSince its inception, Epson has passed down and expanded on its traditional strengths as a manufacturing company. Refining the company's super-microprocessing and precision processing technologies in the development of its watches and then expanding those technologies into other fields led to rapid progress. The breakthrough came with the launch of the EP-101 (Electronic Printer), a popular and groundbreaking product that opened up new markets. It was in the hope of sending future "sons" of this EP out into the world that the Epson brand was founded in 1975. Ever since then, high quality, high-value-added "sons" have been introduced to the market to wide acclaim.

President Barack Obama waves to the crowd at his election night party celebrating his victory over challenger Mitt Romney.
Do you remember Mitt Romney's election-year promise to create 12 million jobs during his first term? It came in for a fair amount of criticism, not because it was too ambitious—and thus unattainable—but because it was banal. Twelve million was the baseline for job creation over the next four years. Absent a major economic shock, the U.S. economy would have created that many jobs regardless of who was president.
In essence, Romney had promised to take credit for the turning of the calendar, and the public would have given it to him. After all, they would have seen a simple causal relationship: Romney got elected, and the jobs came. Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
It's with this in mind that you should look at the latest poll from The Washington Post, which shows President Obama with a 51 percent approval rating, despite the two weeks of Scandal Mania! that have dominated the media. It's not that Americans aren't paying attention or are on the president's side—indeed, 55 percent say that the administration is trying to cover-up the facts on Benghazi—but that there are more people who approve of Obama for economic growth than who disapprove of him for these recent controversies. Indeed, he has several months of solid job growth—and a declining unemployment rate—in his pocket. And in politics, the fundamentals are always key—jobs are more important than scandals.
This is part of why the 2012 election was so high stakes, even if it didn't feel like it. If he won, Mitt Romney would have used his opening momentum to implement conservative plans for large tax cuts on the wealthy, which would have been followed—sequentially—by economic growth. With growth comes popularity, which would have given Romney the political capital he needed to pursue other, less popular aspects of the Republican agenda. And if he managed to get to 2016 without derailing the projected growth, he likely would have won re-election and set the groundwork for a revival of Republican fortunes.
It's not dissimilar to Bill Clinton's political trajectory. His wide popularity is less about what he did—which is narrow compared to President Obama's extensive legislative accomplishments—and much more about his position: He presided over eight-years of uninterrupted economic growth. The long summer of the Clinton administration buoyed his popularity through scandal and disappointment, and has left him with an excellent reputation among the many Americans who experienced his presidency.
In short, an economic recovery is a tremendous thing to have a political resume, and whoever won last year's election would have received one as a matter of course. When placed with everything else—in particular, demographic change and the Republican Party's poor response to it—this is a powerful advantage for the Democratic Party. Yes, the GOP's 2016 nominee can argue for "change." But the Democratic standard-bearer will be able to ask voters if they want to see the "Obama Recovery" continue for another four years.
And if you don't think this can work, ask yourself how George H.W. Bush became president.

The gap between the haves and have not's is the widest it has ever been. More people are on food stamps than ever. And none of that makes a bit of difference. When a part of the government abuses it's power in order to silence a group of people, that is wrong. Let's play a game, shall we? What would the reaction of the bulk of the readers of this site (and the author of the tripe written above) if instead of using the words "tea party" and "constitution" as the keys to trigger an audit, they used the words "Latino" or "Hispanic?" Do you believe that the "oh, they deserve it" Obama cheerleader crowd would still be backing the Prez?
I hate to break it to you, but this is exactly the same thing. Of course, getting a loony lefty to admit to something like that is damn near impossible, but the fact remains that a group was persecuted due to beliefs. If you really believe that the people in those groups deserve what they got, then the next logical step is to make sure you can identify the people in those groups. Maybe make them wear a yellow star?

In today's economic climate, homeowners are increasingly looking for affordable solutions to their design dilemmas. Armed with the belief that painting remains the most cost-effective way to transform a space, many people choose to paint with the assurance that color fixes a multitude of sins.
Yet there are homeowners who remain hesitant when it comes to painting and coordinating colors in their space. It seems color in large quantities or color decisions that are thought to be "permanent," can be very intimidating. I've concluded this is one reason why some people choose to paint just one accent wall rather than all of the walls in a room. In fact, if a client tells me they only want to paint one wall, I always ask why. If I feel the decision is based on fear, I'll do my best to coax them into painting all of the walls instead.
I realize some people would rather "date" color than be married to it. However, when it comes to accent walls, I think one of their biggest drawbacks is they can make it appear as though the homeowner somehow "forgot" to paint the other walls, or decided the one wall was mistake enough.
My guideline is this – if a client answers "no" to either of the following two questions, then I advise against an accent wall:
- Is the wall architecturally interesting or noticeably different (in shape, size, trim, features) compared to the other walls in the space?
- Does the wall contain a clearly defined and unique focal point (bed, fireplace, open bookshelves, amazing window)?
Painted accent walls can be a great way to add drama and a pop of color to a space, but I believe it has to make sense. No one should walk into a room with an accent wall and think, "Why did they paint just that wall?" The answer should be clear.
If the design does call for an accent wall, I always enjoy seeing the artistic use of color. Some homeowners use accent walls to make a statement by adding stenciled or hand-painted designs, or painting patterns with multiple hues. Using wallpaper is also a great choice and provides the opportunity to incorporate a high-end wall covering without breaking the bank. Creative color and pattern will always underscore an accent wall's purpose.
However, for the commitment and color phobic, even an accent wall can be a scary thing. Perhaps no one understands this more than Scott Flora, cofounder of Blik®, a company that designs and retails removable wall graphics.
"We set out to create a way that anyone could easily add color and design to a wall or surface inexpensively; and yes, that one could remove, replace and update quickly," says Flora.
A few years ago, I would have only considered wall graphics for children's spaces, but this product has "grown up" and is now surprisingly sophisticated for adult tastes. Companies like Blik offer a range of colors, designs and even artwork. I also like the idea of layering these graphics over a freshly painted wall.
"Our colors are varied — some strong, some subtle, but in most cases our products add a punch of color to a specific portion of your space," says Flora. "We never suggest someone cover every wall in their home with Blik; rather, use them to bring color in as an accent." Flora also works with artists to create affordable art pieces that rival more expensive framed pieces.
Could wall graphics be the new trompe l'oeil? It's certainly a trend that's evolving and appears to have staying power. I think as long as there's an audience that's unsure about making color decisions in the home, there will be a market for artful products that are easy to install, change and remove.
I'm always curious what others in the design field believe regarding color phobia, so I asked Flora for his opinion: "When used in your personal space, color reflects something about you to others," he says. "Therefore, I think people generally tend to be conservative when choosing colors. Not many people are comfortable with making a bold color statement."

If I am having trouble with thigh highs rolling down, will this prevent that?
Hello, quick question. If I wanted to use this product in order to keep thigh-high stockings adhered through a pantyhose/hosiery, would this product be effective? If so, should I apply the glue to the stockings themselves, or to my leg area itself?
Would this product work to keep bras straps from slipping?
How does this hold up with sweat? I plan on buying knee high, OTK, and thigh high socks for roller derby, and I'm a curvy gal, so getting socks to fit right is a challenge. Also, roller derby is a workout and i don't want the glue to wear off mid-bout.
How long does a bottle last if used infrequently?
Do you deliver to Great Britain?
Would these work for keeping up arm warmers as well? and also is it sticky or do you not really notice it? Thanks!
Hello! This may seem like an unusual question, but is this safe to use around lips or eyes? I like to use theatrical makeup regularly, and I'm curious, since you mentioned theatrical makeup as a use, what places on your face would this not be safe?
I just got my new @SockDreams OTKs and thigh-highs and I have to say, they really are the socks of my dreams.

Dubai adds tallest hotel to superlative list
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Superlative-hungry Dubai is adding another to its list: A 72-story hotel billed as the world's tallest.
The JW Marriott's Marquis Dubai formally opened Tuesday after gaining the title of tallest hotel from Guinness World Records.
At 355 meters (1,099 feet), the hotel would tower over skylines in most cities. But in Dubai, it sits in the shadow of its more than twice-as-high neighbor, the Burj Khalif, the world's tallest skyscraper at 828 meters (2,717 feet).

This thread is for discussing Wyrd Sisters in some depth. If you haven't read the book then read on at your own risk – or, better still, go and read the book and join in the fun.
For those of us that are going to join in the discussion, here are a few guidelines:
Please feel free to make comparisons to other Discworld books, making sure you identify the book and the passage you are referring to. Others may not be as familiar with the book you are referencing, so think before you post.
Sometimes we'll need to agree to disagree – only Terry knows for sure what he was thinking when he wrote the books and individuals members may have widely different interpretations – so try to keep the discussion friendly.
We may be discussing a book that you don't much care for – don't be put off joining in the discussion. If you didn't care for the book, then that in itself is a good topic for discussion.
Please note: there is no time limit to this discussion. Please feel free to add to it at any time - especially if you've just read the book.
And finally:
Please endeavour to keep the discussion on topic. If necessary I will step in and steer it back to the original topic – so no digressions please!
Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
Originally published 1988
When Duke Felmet and his wife decide to snatch the Kingdom of Lancre through murder most foul, they neglect the fact that the witches of the country won't be happy about it.
And when the Kingdom itself is unhappy with the deed, the witches take drastic action to give the country the King it deserves.
I want to thank swreader for volunteering to write the introduction to this month's discussion.
swreader wrote:Wyrd Sisters introduction by swreader
This novel introduces us to one of the most important types of people inhabiting Discworld—The Witches. Although in some senses we have met Granny before, this is the first novel in which we meet the three most dominant witches. Witches, as they will tell you, do not believe in hierarchy, do not have leaders or head witches, and Granny Weatherwax (as she appears in this novel) is the most highly regarded of the leaders whom witches don't have. But also vitally important (in this and the other witch novels) are the two other members of the original coven, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick.
Though the opening line of this book is exactly that of Shakespeare's Macbeth, and though Pratchett makes extensive allusive reference to Shakespeare and that particular play, this novel is not a parody of the play. Rather Pratchett uses witch magic as well as the magic of words, whether written by some playwright or used by the witches, to begin the exploration of several themes which he will develop more fully in the later witch novels. The Shakespeare allusions which underlie the novel give it a richness not only by the use of comic contrast but more importantly serious consideration of the responsibilities of kings or rulers of a country and that of those citizens who have special talents.
One of the themes Pratchett explores here is the responsibility the witches have to the special quality of their land. They are not rulers, nor do they seek to be—but their talents force them into unusual actions, such as the use of witch magic to move the country fifteen years into the future, making Lancre perhaps the only country to have "time-traveled". Pratchett sets up the tension between the three witches in this book that runs through all the witch books. Each of the three has different strengths and weaknesses which contributes to both the tension and bonding of the three. Pratchett's witches are not the evil spirits conjured by Shakespeare, but specially talented human beings who have chosen or been chosen by a calling that requires an unusual way of life.
Pratchett sprinkles this book with comic references, sometimes almost with parody. One only has to pronounce the name of Hwel, the dwarf playwright of the Vitoller Company of Actors, and perhaps think of Shakespeare's company, the Lord Chamberlain's men, to notice the name of the theatre they eventually construct in the capital city to realize that Pratchett has enriched the play by the comic allusion to Shakespeare and his play. But, as is true of Pratchett's best work, while knowing Macbeth may add to the laughter, knowledge of the play is not, in the final analysis, necessary to enjoy and appreciate the first appearance of the famous trio—Granny, Nanny & Magrat.
