Description: This is a story told by a boy in his thirteenth year, recorded in his secret diary. His life is about to change; his world, about to open. He lives in Montedidio-God's Mountain-a cluster of alleys in the heart of Naples. He brings a paycheck home every Saturday from Mast'Errico's carpentry workshop where he sweeps the floor. He is on his way to becoming a man-his boy's voice is abandoning him. His wooden boomerang is neither toy nor tool, but something in between. Then there is Maria, the thirteen-year-old girl who lives above him and, like so many girls, is wiser than he. She carries the burden of a secret life herself. She'll speak to him for the first time this summer. There is also his friendship with a cobbler named Rafaniello, a Jewish refugee who has escaped the horrors of the Holocaust, who has no idea how long he's been on this earth, and who is said to sprout wings for a blessed few. It is 1963, a young man's summer of discovery. A time for a boy with innocent hands and a pure heart to look beyond the ordinary in everyday things to see the far-reaching landscape, and all of its possibilities, from a rooftop terrace on God's Mountain.

So the Trousersnake finally tied the knot?
Indeed. In true superstar style, JT wed actor Jessica Biel in Puglia, Italy, in a lavish ceremony that reportedly took a year to plan and cost $6.5m. In what we can only assume was the highlight, he serenaded his bride with a song so beautiful it reduced grown men to tears.
Wow. I wish I could have made it along to that one…
So did some of Hollywood's homeless, according to a video recorded by friends of the singer, 31. In the spoof tape, "Greetings from your Hollywood friends who just couldn't make it", a toothless, elderly man mutters: "Justin, I haven't seen you in a long time. My gift is in the mail." Another, shirtless contributor says: "It's me, Herbert!"
That's pretty offensive.
It has certainly tainted the couple's big day. Timberlake made a formal apology on his pals' behalf, saying: "My friends are good people. This was clearly a lapse in judgment … But I don't believe it was made to be insensitive."
Did Timberlake get in trouble over the tape?
According to the singer, it was shot as a "private joke to be exhibited privately at the wedding". Regardless, he has opted to share out the punishment, saying he will get the film-makers to perform 100 hours of community service.

Creating new learning paradigms
Learning consultancy
'Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of becoming.' Goethe
We are passionate about helping to change learning. Although some people are keen to adopt new ideas on the journey to education 3.0 it is not easy to make the first steps, but we can help.
Having made the journey successfully ourselves as teachers, trainers and education managers, we can help with the things that are essential to succeed; good content, teacher skills, technology integration and management support. We have a new philosophy for learning and teaching in the twenty-first century resulting from our own pioneering experiences.
We are system agnostic, we know that online learning is not about the technology but about how it facilitates learning. Online learning is part of a twenty-first-century learning environment, not a separate tool that people feel they need but which nobody uses.
There are more than 700 learning management systems available most of them built by software designers. Being teachers and trainers our perspective is different and we choose a technology which is best of breed and fit for the particular task. We can select from many different options or, tailor make our own, but always we are choosing the best option for the client. Not always is the large, shiny toy the best. We always favour the simplest and most elegant way of supporting learning and teaching.
Good content
There is now a vast amount of teaching and learning content on the Internet, much is free and much is of dubious quality. In today's education 3.0 learning environments content should be available in a format that a learner likes which can be easily created, tracked and, if necessary, assessed within a learning environment.
Not only do we know how to create good online content for learning but we can show you and your teachers how to do this too. We can set up content generation software which will convert, or allow you to create, modern learning content which meets all the standards of the curriculum you are teaching to. The benefit of this is that you are creating a learning environment which is not constrained to your physical lessons but available to all at any time which your learners want.

We continue today with Part 2 of our 3-part Keurig 2.0 Mega Review (you can read Part I here) by checking out the new menu system, discussing how to brew various packs in the new brewers and we also cover new features which you'll only find on the new 2.0 brewers. One thing we'd like to tackle before we get started (and something we forgot to mention in Part 1) is how you can determine whether or not K-Cups & Vue Packs are 2.0 compatible before you even open the box.
We're all familiar with the old Keurig Brewed logo and while most people will think this automatically means they're getting 2.0 K-Cups or Vue Packs… this is NOT the case. Instead, you now need to look for even NEWER logos on the packaging. The new K-Cup compatibility logo is a colored rectangle with a circled checkmark on top which contains the words "For use in all Keurig K-Cup brewers". While we're not entirely 100% certain if boxes featuring this new logo might still contain older 1.0 K-Cups (since the use of the word all can be considered somewhat vague), we can however confirm that all the new boxes with this logo in our latest online orders & in-store purchases DID contain the newer 2.0 K-Cups which feature the Keurig Brewed grey/white ring around the lid.
When Keurig first announced earlier this year that it was working on a new brewer which could brew both K-Cups & full carafes of coffee, we were left scratching our head as we thought the whole point of a single serve coffee machine was to… well… serve single servings of coffee. Why would anyone want a single serve coffee machine to make an entire pot (or carafe as Keurig prefers to call it) of coffee? Single serve machines were built specifically to get rid of the old customs of brewing full pots only to have them go stale or burnt (if left on a hot plate) before anyone could finish drinking the entire pot. More often then not, we'd end up dumping more coffee down the sink drain than what would end up in our mugs throughout the course of a day.
When compared to K-Cups or Vue-Packs, the new K-Carafe Packs are considerably larger (think of an oversized Travel Mug Vue-Pack) and appear to contain much more coffee. When you first realize how oversized these things are, it comes as a bit of a surprise and makes sense why you only get 8 in a retail box. That wasn't the only surprise that the new Keurig 2.0 brewer would hold in store for us. The very controversial decision to implement DRM and make the brewer only brew licensed/coded K-Cups caused much stir and vitriol from consumers & competitors alike. Companies which were already making several unlicensed K-Cups were angry that Keurig was effectively locking them out from being able to brew their products on the new machine. Anti-competitive lawsuits emerged and all sorts of issues arose around the matter.
Nature Valley, one of General Mills' several brands, is more commonly associated with granola bars & more recently protein cereals. So when they announced they'd be coming out with oatmeal which could be prepared using a Keurig K-Cup brewer, we were totally shocked. This doesn't mark the first time something other than coffee, tea or iced beverages has been announced for Keurig K-Cup brewers.
A year ago, Keurig & Campbell's Soup announced a partnership which would see instant soups that could be produced using Keurig K-Cup brewers, however, we have yet to see the products hit either retail store shelves or online retailers and haven't heard anything from Keurig or Campbell's since the original press release. As a result, it was only a matter of time before competitors decided to put a spin on the idea and come out with their own products, although we didn't think Nature Valley would beat Keurig at their own game and release their products first. Today we're checking out the first of the 2 flavors in the line-up with Nature Valley's Brown Sugar Pecan Bistro Cups.
AB from Maine has sent in a review of Lay's Cappuccino potato chips. I also got to try these chips recently, and I couldn't escape the cinnamon grease finish. Brutual. I do however love the Wasabi Ginger Chips.
From AB:
On a recent trip to Wal-Mart, I came across Lay's Cappuccino potato chips. Being a lover coffee, I was excited to see this and picked up a bag for $2.99.
Upon arriving home, my wife and I opened the bag and dug in. The initial taste of the chips where good. You get a nice creamy taste that you expect from drinking a cappuccino.
However that taste soon morphed into what I can only describe as foul. Once the initial taste from the chip was gone, you are left with the sensation that you are chewing on old coffee grounds. Imagine brewing a pot of coffee, removing the filter with the grounds still in it, placing it in your mouth, and chewing. Yeah that is the taste.
This was a nice idea that really missed the mark. Not sure, who did the product testing for this, but they should be fired.
We've been working our way through Nespresso's VertuoLine capsule line-up for the past several weeks and while we tried to find meaning behind the capsule names, we just kept thinking in the back of our minds that they were named after would-be Italian X-Men characters. From the strongest espresso in the line-up (Diavolitto) to the strongest coffee in the line-up (Stormio), the names seem to invoke a sense of darkness & intrigue. Whatever the inspiration for the naming may be, we decided to forge ahead with today's review of Nespresso's VertuoLine Stormio Capsules. Would the strongest coffee be as strong as the strongest espresso on the VertuoLine system? Let's find out.
We continue our VertuoLine capsule reviews today by checking out one of their strongest intensity espressos, the Nespresso VertuoLine Diavolitto Capsules. The name was the first thing that piqued our interest and while we don't know how to read or speak Italian, we got a basic connotation of what was inferred. A quick bit of experimentation on Google Translate quickly proved us right… uh… well, sort of. While Diavolitto is itself not an Italian word (as far as we're aware) it is derived from diavol, which is apparently the Italian Romanian word for devil.
When we reviewed our first VertuoLine capsules a while back (the hazelnut flavored Hazelino), we noted how the flavoring tasted different and a bit off from what we're used to seeing in a conventional flavored coffee produced from the likes of a Keurig or Tassimo system. Since we ALWAYS take our coffee black during reviews in order to notice any subtle flavor notes which might be hiding in the cup, we pretty much ignored Nespresso's recommendations to also try their VertuoLine capsules with added creamer.
That was apparently a big mistake. Once we followed their suggestions, we noticed that the strange almost chemical hazelnut taste was replaced by a more subdued hazelnut flavor and that the harsher oily notes in the coffee became greatly reduced to more normal levels. It completely transformed the entire tasting experience to a degree we weren't expecting. In hindsight, we'd like to offer an apology of sorts to Nespresso and would like to point out that while our original score of 91 - Exceptional still stands for the Hazelino capsules when taken black, we'd have to give a slightly higher score of 94 - Exceptional once you add creamer into the mix (sorry, we still can't get used to the odd foreign hazelnut flavor).
When Nespresso first introduced the VertuoLine brewer to North America earlier this year, we were a bit caught by surprise as up until now, Nespresso was known primarily for their premium line of espresso machines which they've now dubbed OriginalLine. This marked the first time Nespresso had decided to focus on conventional coffee (while still retaining the ability to produce espressos from the same machine).
An 8oz coffee from Nespresso? Given how superb some of their OriginalLine espresso capsules have been in the past, they certainly had our attention. Seeing as how coffee extraction is different than espresso extraction, Nespresso had to come up with a new way to extract brewed coffee from the capsules and they did so in a way which isn't that common in the single serve coffee market… centrifugal force. Dubbed Centrifusion, the brewer has a laser which reads a barcode ring around the inner lip of the capsule and this code determines everything from water amounts to spin rate in order to deliver optimized results for each capsule.
In a move that only serves to reinforce the idea that they're after just about every coffee chain & coffee manufacturer on the market, KGM decided to form a partnership with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) chain of coffee shops to introduce some of their signature coffees into the K-Cup format several months ago. Now that those flavors are starting to trickle through the retail market, we decided to try their first flavored variety: CBTL Toasted Ameretto K-Cups.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (for brevity sake, we'll just call them CBTL) got their start in 1963 when they opened their first coffee shop/cafe in Brentwood, California. Billing themselves as the oldest & largest privately held specialty coffee and tea retailer in the United States, the company has since opened stores in many different states and internationally as well. While they may not be that well known on the East Coast, they're popular on the West Coast and have gained quite the fan following over the years.
From time to time, we stumble across K-Cup flavors which either aren't widely advertised or were never announced on the Keurig or GMCR/KGM websites, flavors which appear out of nowhere or are only retailer exclusives (i.e. Only sold at one specific retailer) and other odd situations similar to the above. Such was the case with a flavor we first discovered about a year ago. It appeared briefly at Target & Wal-Mart stores then disappeared soon after. We eventually managed to track a box down at a local Target several months ago and are only getting around to reviewing things today. What is this elusive flavor? Newman's Own Organics Cafe Almond Biscotti K-Cups. Let's have at 'er and see if this flavor was worth the hunt.

Hello, friends,
I have been doodling a bit - and all of a sudden it became a biscornu pattern.
I added a little narrow band as well, this way you can choose whether you want to sew it together as a biscornu or as a small pillow with a side.
I hope you like it. Happy stitching.
Edit: do you want to see how it looks stitched? Here it is, in this post. Just scroll down.

I have a profound loathing of the fusion of fashion and contemporary dance. In fact, any dance. And theatre. And music – beyond a catwalk soundtrack. Maybe I'm a Luddite, but I like my fashion to be just that. Fashion. I don't need any other justification.
The rest of the world, apparently, disagrees. Fashion has been transformed into a spectator sport. It started years ago – not even with John Galliano and Alexander McQueen in the Nineties, though, with casts of thousands and budgets of millions, they took the fashion show to Cecil B. DeMille heights. Antony Price kicked off the fashion-show-as-spectacle in the Eighties, staging them in the Camden Palace and selling tickets to the public.
Fashion as theatre, however, goes back even further. Arguably to 1976, when Yves Saint Laurent first put the models in his Ballets Russes collection on a raised catwalk, showcasing nothing but extravagant eveningwear. Saint Laurent removed fashion from everyday life. He made it into a performance art.
At the Birmingham NEC, from 6 to 10 December this year, The Clothes Show Live celebrates its 25th anniversary. The catwalk space – dubbed the "Fashion Theatre"– seats 5,000. And forget the fashion: the show is all-singing, all-dancing. In the past, Boyzone and the Spice Girls have performed.
Forgetting the fashion is my issue. Don't we lose the clothes in all that spectacle? They are, after all, what really matters. The clothes made Galliano and McQueen, Price and Saint Laurent great designers. The rest is just window-dressing. So stop making a song and dance about it. Especially if the fashions don't stand up to the scrutiny.

Gefilte Fish Shortage Affects Passover Meal Planning
Posted on April 16, 2014There is a gefilte fish shortage this Passover that has many families quite unhappy. Even if they don't particularly like the classic Passover dish, many families can't contemplate not having any gefilte fish. So what's the problem this year? According to The New York Times it was the Polar Vortex that caused the shortage. There is still ice in all the Great Lakes and whitefish is in short supply. That is causing distributors to scramble for product. Fishmongers all over the country are bemoaning the lack of whitefish this year. Maneschevitz has plenty, if you don't mind fish in a jar. The company says it locks in its supply the year before to avoid shortage problems.
The L.A. Times notes that 90% of the Great Lakes froze over this winter. Even though the ice is melting, the giant chunks of ice floating around are a hazard to fishing boats and the $150,000 fishing nets they use. The Times spoke with Kevin Crespel, a manager at distributor Universal Seafood who usually gets 300 pounds of whitefish a week. He was getting one case per week for a while, but now he can't get any shipments at all due to the shortage. He has suggested that customer substitute white sea bass for whitefish, because whitefish is simply not going to be available.
Some cooks are using snapper or grouper instead. Tilapia and catfish are mild white fishes, but they generally are not Kosher. Portland chef Jenn Louis shared her recipe for gefilte fish with NPR here. She makes hers with salmon and halibut.

FTSE sees highest weekly rise since February, banks support
The blue-chip index closed on Friday with its biggest weekly gain since February, led by banks and miners, as markets looked to a weekend meeting of the IMF which aims to bolster its war-chest to ease pressure on debt-ridden euro zone economies.
The FTSE 100 index <.FTSE> closed up 0.5 percent, rising 2 percent on the week, recovering early losses. Banks <.FTNMX8350> were among the best performers on the day, reflecting a wider rebound in European lenders <.SX7P>, which jumped 2 percent.
Lloyds Banking Group
The equity markets have held up fairly well to slightly more questionable U.S. data and uncertainty on Spanish bonds... we have argued that it is quite a bullish sign that the market has held up as well as it has and we think the market will move forward reasonably quickly from here, said Ewen Stewart, UK Strategist at Investec.
Growth-sensitive mining stocks added 8 points to the index, led by Anglo American
Oil and gas stocks <.FTNMX0530> had dragged on the index as the highest sectoral faller before slightly paring losses, which were led by BP
British oil explorer Rockhopper
Chip designer ARM Holdings
The chip shortage is negative for the iPhone 5 and therefore negative for Apple
Looking ahead to Monday, the markets will focus on the results of the IMF meeting and Sunday's first round of French presidential elections.
Many investors are wary about the expected eventual election of a Socialist French president and some have placed early bets that bond yields will rise, the euro will fall and equities will be more volatile.

Crude Oil - Crude Oil Falls 1%
Oil fell more than 1% to around $82.70 a barrel on Monday as ample U.S. inventories were seen and after Saudi Arabia's oil minister expressed concerns about the influence of speculators on prices.
A Saudi Arabian oil official issued remarks which indicated that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries could raise production this year due to a faster than expected growth in demand for the cartel's oil.
As for today, traders are advised to watch carefully the leading stock markets and the major economic indicators which will be published from the U.S. and euro-zone in order to predict the next movements in oil prices.

WRAPUP 2-Mizuho to raise capital; CBA warns on bad debts
* Mizuho to shore up capital, posts $402 mln Q2 loss
* CBA warns bad debts to hit H1 profits
* St George shareholders OK $9 bln takeover by Westpac
* Bank shares fall Asia-wide, CBA hits near 4-yr low
* S.Korea creates $7.2 bln fund to buy bonds (Updates with Mizuho earnings, S.Korea bond fund plans)
By David Dolan and Mette Fraende
TOKYO/SYDNEY, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Mizuho Financial Group (8411.T: Cotización), Japan's second-biggest bank, said it plans to raise fresh capital reportedly worth $3.2 billion and Australia's No.2 lender warned it expects a big jump in bad loans as shockwaves from the global financial crisis rattle the region's banks.
Mizuho, which on Thursday posted a $402 million net loss for the second quarter, would be following in the footsteps of larger rival Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (8306.T: Cotización), which said last month it would raise $10.5 billion to offset stock market losses.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA.AX: Cotización) warned investors to expect a big jump in bad debts and voiced concerns over the economic outlook for at least the next 18 months. [ID:nSYD363142] Asia-Pacific lenders have largely avoided the heavy losses on subprime mortgages that tore through Wall Street, but a weakening economy and plunging equity markets have taken a toll on the sector.

LUISA BECCARIA always brings a little sunshine onto the Milan catwalk, whether it's time for an autumn/winter or a spring/summer collection – and today she and her design partner daughter Lucilla Bonaccorsi were feeling as romantic as ever and expecting a heat wave next winter.
Focusing on "a real woman, who works but can still dream", they presented gold-flecked tweed dresses with raw edges, quilted velvet coats in khaki green and pale mint broderie anglaise and lace dresses that were softly belted in plaited leather.
Glimmering pleated lamé made up dresses that fell in pleats from the neck to add a shot of modernity to what was otherwise a softly, passively pretty collection; the models' pretty half-up, half-down hair curled and tonged as beautifully as her false eyelashes – she may work, this woman, but she also takes her time to get ready.
Nude silk and chiffon dresses had necklines and belts encrusted with jewels and single strands of ostrich feathers, while cream hooded cashmere coats and gorgeous petrol green jewelled prints put the emphasis very much on high quality.
It was a good looking collection, unremarkable at times and very desirable at others, that didn't shout autumn/winter loudly enough and would have been all the better for more cheerful models – these girls looked thoroughly miserable and that never does the clothes any good at all.

Harry Redknapp's QPR are set to sign Brazilian legend Ronaldinho on a one year deal.
The 34 year old currently plays for Clube Athletito Mineiro and is reportedly eyeing up a move to the Premier League, with clubs including QPR, Stoke City and West Ham United currently declaring their interest.
Early reports suggest QPR is the likely destination for the legendary 34-year-old who would use the team to make his debut in the Premier League.
Last week Ronaldinho was reported to have been overheard talking about the fast-pace of the Premier League and his regrets from not giving the English league a chance when he was in his "prime".
This sparked a host of English clubs to have a large "ping" on their radar.
According to online reports QPR (managed by Harry Redknapp) are very close to signing a one-year deal with the midfielder.
With QPR reported to have a large "war-chest" like budget to spend, Redknapp would likely lure the player with a lucrative deal.
Ronaldinho has never played in the Premier League, but after "that" world cup in which Seaman was lobbed by a wonderful chip, the 34 year old midfielder was inundated with a huge amount of offers from top teams, including Manchester United and Arsenal.
At the time Ronaldinho stuck with Barcelona and had many seasons of success.
Some pundits have raised questions about the potential move of Ronaldinho, with some asking whether he is "over the hill" and others saying whether it is a publicity stunt.
Truth is, if you look at his performances in the last season, he is still a formidable midfielder with blistering pace and a great eye for goal.
For a team like QPR this would be a dream signing, and for Ronaldinho it would give him a chance to get back in the "eye" of the English teams with a potential move to a bigger club if things go well.

Rocket science starts early in Surrey with a number of local schools competing for the BOC Year 9 Science Challenge.
St Peter's Catholic School, Guildford, were the winners of this year's competition, beating off stiff competition at the final held at BOC's Guildford headquarters on 26 January.
This year's challenge involved an understanding of the way compressed gas (in this case air) provides power for a rocket. The teams were required to build and test a water-rocket which depends for its operation on a mix of water and compressed air. Each team was also required to produce a report on their findings and to present these to a team of judges, which included senior business executives from BOC and a director of Rokit, who make water rocket kits for schools and retail markets.
Megan Fenn, Key Stage 3 Science Coordinator at St Peter's, said the team – and the school – were delighted to have won the award. "The team put in a great deal of hard work, especially given the difficult weather conditions over the last couple of months. But it really has been worthwhile."
Mike Dennis, Business Director of Bulk and Packaged Gases at BOC, was impressed by the standard of all the entries. "We organise this competition to encourage more young people to get involved in science and technology. The UK – and BOC – needs more engineers and scientists if we are to remain a leading technology-based society. These teams have shown that there is a bright future for the UK."
Jon Wilkins, whose company market water-rocket kits around the world, noted: "Understanding key scientific principles at an early stage lays a great foundation for later study. These teams have shown how well they have got to grips with the science."
All the teams taking part in this year's final will have the opportunity to compete for more prizes at this year's Surrey Festival of Science, organised by Surrey Satro and held at the Brooklands Museum on 22 June. Commenting on the BOC Challenge, Dr Beccy Bowden, CEO of Surrey SATRO said, "I am absolutely delighted to be working with BOC to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists."

Product description
"Nora Ephron, 65 years old in I Feel Bad About My Neck, pokes fun at her own eccentricities and finds herself writing about 'lunch with my girlfriends-I got that far into the sentence and caught myself. I suppose I mean my women friends. We are no longer girls and have not been for forty years.' But [I Feel Bad About My Neck is a] girlfriend book, and in the best way. . . . Ephron, who is a great wit, has made a career out of women's body anxieties. The magazine piece that made her famous in the 1970s, 'A Few Words about Breasts, ' is a long kvetch about her flat chest . . . Now, though, Ephron kvetches about her wrinkled neck, the one part of a woman's aging body that can't be resurfaced. She and the ladies who lunch with her all wear scarves or turtlenecks to hide their 'shame.' . . . Ephron [is] unfailingly clever and often pokes fun at our preoccupations while sharing them. . . . I Feel Bad About My Neck has everything I want in an entertaining read: a breezy pace, wry musings, copious doses of gossip, humor, and new information. . . . Ephron produces perfect vignettes. . . . [When I finished I Feel Bad About My Neck, I] felt the 'rapture' that Ephron says you feel on completing a great book. . . . [Books] have always been faithful pals, and [this one is] among the best. . . . [Get] your friends of a certain age together, rent Silkwood (which I think is Ephron's best film), read [her book] together, and argue and laugh and cry. That's my prescription."
-Emily Toth, Women's Review of Books
-Easy Living magazine (UK) "What's refreshing about Ephron is that she refuses to entertain any illusions about the terrible fate that awaits us. What's great about her is that she makes the truth about life so funny when it should be so grim."
-Christopher Goodwin, The Sunday Times (UK) "Ephron's laugh-out-loud collection tells the truth about aging-it's not fun-and 'she does it with humor and satire and perspective, ' says [Roxanne Coady of R. J. Julia Booksellers in Madison, Conn.]. With blithe charm, Ephron exposes all the vain ploys that she-and we-would rather not admit we use to stave off another telltale wrinkle or gray hair. Read her book as an antidote to despair."
-U.S. News & World Report "Now 65, the humorist offers a bracing take on aging in 15 memorable essays. Her finely honed wit is as fresh as ever."
-People magazine, Top 10 Books of 2006 "As if wrinkles and belly flab weren't enough, women of a certain age have to fret about their turkey necks, too-so says the sage, dry, and hilarious Nora Ephron . . . Her droll take on traditionally gooey topics like motherhood and marriage makes the tender observations that much more unexpected . . . [A] sparkling series of essays."
-Ladies Home Journal "Delightful . . . [A] funny, sisterly collection . . . Where books written for seniors are apt to be full of unconvincing cheer, Ephron's charming book of self-questioning, confession, and resolve faces the reality that she's sixty-five, dyes her hair, and is not happy about her neck, her purse, her failure at ambitious exercise programs, and other personal failures shared by many of us . . . None of these confrontations with mortality is arcane, all are universal, and people of either sex can relate to them . . . Many readers of I Feel Bad About My Neck will be familiar already with Ephron the accomplished human being . . . She's one of only a few American essayists with a public persona-one thinks of Will Rogers, or Calvin Trillin, maybe Benjamin Franklin, Steve Martin, and Woody Allen . . . [She has] a talent for incisive compression and accessibility confided in a sort of plainspoken Will Rogers manner . . . . The hapless character Ephron has presented over the years may be the real Ephron, or not. The actual Ephron is praised by friends as smart, a perfect housekeeper, much prettier than the person she began depicting in Wallflower at the Orgy, her essays from the Seventies, a wonderful cook, etc., etc. It's sound rhetorical strategy. Of all the ways to be funny, self-deprecation is more endearing than satire . . . . All in all, this funny book offers the pleasures of recognition; in an anxious world, her epigrams have a serious, consoling utility."
-Diane Johnson, The New York Review of Books "OK, so Nora Ephron is 65 now. Not to me, she's not. She's still that young smartass who used to rule the pages of Esquire . . . That was entertainment. She's still entertaining . . . Ephron's new look-back is a delight of a book that you can inhale in a single sitting . . . . When she's funny, as she is in I Feel Bad About My Neck, she becomes a [writer] who won't give her readers a rest from the bellowing laughter. Sixty-five ain't old when you're Nora Ephron."
-Dan Smith, Blue Ridge Business Journal "I like short books. In fact, when I'm at the bookstore, I tilt my head to the right and scan the shelves for books with the skinniest spines. I Feel Bad About My Neck was one I wished were longer. Ephron, journalist, novelist and screenwriter, bemoans getting old and all the maintenance needed just to tread water. But she does it in her inimitable, witty style. You don't come away depressed as much as invigorated . . . [She] brings [her] funny but serious approach to this latest work."
-Elizabeth Pezzulo, The Free Lance-Star "You might think that I Feel Bad About My Neck is not a book for foodies. You would think wrong. I Feel Bad About My Neck is so witty and so much about food in our lives, that every Foodie should read it. This is the kind of book that will make you laugh out loud on the Amtrak train to the chagrin of other passengers buried deep in The Wall Street Journal. You may have to force yourself not to wave it under their noses, shouting, 'Get this book!' . . . . It rings funny and true at the same time."
-Juliette Rossant, SuperChefBlog "Clever . . . . [I Feel Bad About My Neck is] laced with wry observations, told in an intimate style that makes Ephron seem like a close friend spilling details about her life . . . [Ephron] has punctured many a bubble of conformity and made audiences laugh in recognition . . . [She] will keep you entertained."
-April Austin, Christian Science Monitor "Maybe Nora Ephron has become timeless . . . Certainly she writes, for all her funny commentary on modern life, like someone who has something useful and important to tell her readers . . . She's figured something out that she wants to let you in on, and to make it palatable she'll make you laugh."
-Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Before Nora Ephron the director, or Nora Ephron the screenwriter, or even before Nora Ephron the novelist, there was Nora Ephron the journalist and essayist. That Nora Ephron, known for her wit, candor and vulnerability, has returned and is holding forth in I Feel Bad About My Neck . . . Sales have been brisk, no doubt because it's the kind of book women don't get only for themselves; they purchase copies for their best friends and sisters, and buy more to be given as birthday gifts and party favors. Women who find themselves somewhere between the arrival of their first wrinkle and death have to hear only the title to get the message. They get it that she gets it, and thank God for that."
-Mimi Avins, Los Angeles Times "[A] stylistic tour de force . . . Fireworks shoot out [of this collection] . . . The smaller blazes are bursts of wit that cast the familiar so sharply as to make it seem new . . . There are [also] passages where wit is used not to entertain but to lament . . . to take arms against life or death (where loss, however blithely sketched, is no joke at all) . . . The comic and rueful are still there, but they take on resonance."
-Richard Eder, The Boston Globe "Youth may be wasted on the young, but everyone can enjoy the hurdles and highlights of aging with Ephron's witty and deeply personal essays on getting older . . . and yes, wiser."
-Life Magazine ("Life 5" Editors' Pick) "[W]ry and amusing . . . . [M]arvelous."
-Bunny Crumpacker, Washington Post Book World "I belly laugh[ed] at this compilation of essays by Nora Ephron, a book that includes subjects every woman can identify with, regardless of her age . . . I [plan] to order multiple copies as gifts, knowing my girlfriends [will] get as much of a charge out of the book as I have."
-Chris Stuckenschneider, The Missourian "This is a book about age and regret. Since it's by Nora Ephron, it's funny . . . . This delightful collection of personal essays . . . [is written] by a truly smart woman [who] disarms . . . by mocking her own anguish in a style that veers between hey-girlfriend coziness and wit . . . . Ephron has me in her pocket: I'm absolutely on her side and feel that she's on mine, that we're in this together . . . . Sublime."
-Anna Shapiro, The New York Observer "We have Nora Ephron to thank for this wonderful girlfriend's guide to aging. In I Feel Bad About My Neck, Ephron perfects her 'vintage whine' in a series of essays conveying everything from beauty regimes to Manhattan real estate. There is little cheerleading here for the joys of acquired wisdom or the age-defying results of botox and collagen-since the neck is still a giveaway-hence the title . . . . There are small victories, however, which Ephron chronicles along with her life as overachieving cook, loyal friend and mother, hard-working writer and fashion frump who disses purses but loves black turtlenecks . . . . She shares heartfelt ardor for her friends-especially one who passed away-her passion for cooking, including recipes for successful dinner parties . . . Ephron's insights make the book an enjoyable romp. [She'll] make you laugh at her laments. You'll also be grateful for her honesty. One of her best lines is her retort to a baby-boomer editor who complains that too many women over 60 talk about how things were better 'in my day.' 'But it isn't our day, ' Ephron tells the editor. 'It's their day. We're just hanging on.' For people who want a little candor and humor about not only hanging on but getting on, this book is for you."
-Jill Brooke, New York Post "In her latest essay collection . . . Ephron offers rearview reflections on her life as a talker and writer, as well as a flinching but honest look at the image she lately confronts in the mirror. Like her fellow Upper West Side loyalist Jerry Seinfeld, she has found a lot of 'something' in the 'nothing' of everyday life. In the manner of all natural-born embroiders, Ephron augments tales she has told before and also divulges new insights, grievances, and gossip . . . . Nothing is off limits to her, even personal humiliation-especially personal humiliation . . . [But] Ephron has owned her laughs for several decades . . . . [S]he doesn't wallow. Instead, she does what she has always done-she buries . . . bad news under a barrage of shareable anecdotes, humorous self-deprecation and womanly bravado . . . . Through [30 years of writing], her focus has remained on the heart. This current gatherum of hard and funny truths spares neither the author's pride nor her audience's, but it does salve wounds, and many of Ephron's insights are bound to come in handy."
-Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review "Wickedly funny . . . [Nora Ephron's] candid, witty tales about life and love will put everything into perspective."
-Tango Magazine
"Witty. . . . sharp . . . . readily accessible to all . . . . [Ephron] is as funny as ever . . . . What is so refreshing about Ephron is that she doesn't take herself too seriously . . . . [She has] a knack for finding the significant in the mundane, and for making readers feel like they've been welcomed into [her] inner circle of friends to share lipsticks and life's licks. [Her] best lines probably get read aloud as often as 'Goodnight Moon.'"
-Newsday Sunday "Before Nora Ephron became a Hollywood maven with her screenplays for movies such as 'Sleepless in Seattle, ' 'Heartburn, ' 'You've Got Mail, ' and 'When Harry Met Sally...', she was a wickedly witty and astute writer of essays and articles. Ephron returns to her print roots with a new collection of essays reflecting the perspective of an aging-but still crackling sharp-cultural scribe."
-Boston Globe "I Feel Bad About My Neck is . . . long-overdue . . . . [T]hese essays . . . [are] executed with overall sharpness and panache . . . . [Nora Ephron] retains an uncanny ability to sound like your best friend, whoever you are . . . . Some things don't change. It's good to know that Ms. Ephron's wry, knowing X-ray vision is one of them."
-Janet Maslin, New York Times "In her latest book of essays . . . [Ephron] is as funny and poignant as ever. This time around she rails against aging ('Oh, the necks . . . '), decides adolescence is for parents and reveals her non-affair with JFK."
-Ms. Magazine "By the time Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck comes out, in August, you'll be feeling the heat-or maybe just a hot flash-in which case her reflections on looking at your saggy, baggy neck in the mirror (she advises squinting) . . . will be just the cool comfort you need. Use this wryly romantic book as a guide to musing about mortality, or just curling up in your empty nest."
-O: Oprah magazine "[S]parkling . . . [T]his collection is . . . a thoughtful concession to pre- and post-menopausal women (who else is there?) . . . who 'can't read a word on the pill bottle, 'follow a thought to a conclusion, or remember the thought after not being able to read the pill bottle . . . . [R]efreshing . . . witty . . . delightful . . . . While signs of mortality proliferate, Ephron offers a rebuttal of consequence: an intelligent, alert, entertaining perspective that does not take itself too seriously. (If you can't laugh, after all, you are already, technically speaking, dead.)"
-Tony Bentley, Publishers Weekly, signature review
"A disparate assortment of sharp and funny pieces revealing the private anguishes, quirks and passions of a woman on the brink of senior citizenhood. Ephron . . . . explores the woes of aging with honesty-hair-coloring and Botox are standard treatments, as is getting a mustache wax-but maintaining a 60-plus body is only her starting point. Ephron includes breezy accounts of her culinary misadventures, her search for the perfect cabbage strudel and her dissatisfaction with women's purses. An essay on her love affair and eventual disenchantment with the Apthorp apartment building on Manhattan's West Side deftly captures both the changes in New York City and in her own life . . . "

One of the best of the 'essays,' is named 'On Maintenance.' The writing describes how much time we spend making ourselves look perfect and how over time these few minutes of time add up to years and years of time. It puts into perspective the things we do each and every day and how much time we spent trivalaising over things that are so very insignificant in our lives. The essay entitled 'I Feel Bad about my Neck' is terribly funny and lead to me spending a good ten minutes inspecting my neck. It leads from the idea that you never know what you had until it's gone. One day we will all mourn for the wonder of our twenty year old necks – I'm sure.
The essays take on a number of different topics; falling in love with different concepts, people and places, and especially apartments and the reason we do so with very little reason. We become sentimentally attached to things and yet years, months, maybe as little as days later they get replaced by something else that we will find ever more satisfying. Whether that is relationships, places, books or food choices we are at one time or another going to move on with our lives and find something new to appreciate and that is okay.Read more ›
That concept is best captured by her essay "On Maintenance" that describes in detail the time, money, and effort she puts into trying to look as good as she can. I'm reminded of a conversation I had with my cousin (who in her more naive days was a beauty queen) who always looks terrific. When I complimented my cousin on her appearance once, she replied, "You have no idea how much more effort it takes every year." Now, I do!
The essay "I Feel Bad About My Neck" is very funny. I don't think I ever look at women's necks . . . but now I know that some women do. Apparently it's all downhill after 43. The essay ends with the irony that Ms. Ephron cannot do anything about her neck without a facelift, and she's not a good candidate for a facelift.
I also liked her essays about how we fall in love with concepts, places, and people . . . for no particularly good reason. But that temporary embrace is soon replaced by another one that will probably be even more satisfying. Although not described that way, you get a sense that she views her prior two marriages much in the same way.Read more ›

We did it!
Elinor Loxton raised £65 from 3 supporters.
Closed 04/01/2017
We've raised £65 to help out with teaching and improving infrastructure and furniture at the Living Hope School and Orphanage in Uganda.
- Time left
- Funded on Wednesday, 4th January 2017
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is the new way to raise money for a personal cause on JustGiving.
In July 2017 I am going to the Living Hope School and Orphanage in Kampala, Uganda, with my school. My school has had a link with this school since 2007, and this will be the fifth trip out there. There we will help out with building new infrastructure and furniture for the school, and also help with teaching lessons, aided by the stationery and textbooks that we will take out there. This will help them with their exams, and hopefully enable them to get better jobs in the future, and boost incomes in the community. The work we will undertake will not just be beneficial to the school, but also for the surrounding area. For example, on the last trip they covered over an open sewer around the edge of the site, both to prevent children from playing in it, and also to help reduce the spread of disease in the community. Our aim is also to make the things we do sustainable, such as by purchasing land and seeds for them to grow and harvest crops yearly, instead of just buying food for them for the short period of time that we are there. The money we each raise will help us to do as much as possible whilst out there; therefore each donation, however big or small, is greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

Washington, April 23 : With advanced technology, the practice of cloud seeding to create rain, mitigate hail or even quell hurricanes is now on the road from science fiction to fact.
According to a report in Discovery News, doppler radar, advanced weather satellites and sophisticated weather models, combined with a lot of accidental, human-caused weather modification, make it finally possible to assess whether humans are having any effect on clouds.
"There was a lot of excitement in the 1950s," said Roelof Bruintjes of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
But without any information about what was happening inside the clouds, it was impossible to tell if a shot of silver iodide into a cloud was really forming rain, or not, he added.
"What's more, a cloud-seeding technique that might appear to work one day might not work on another day, from season to season, or from place to place," said Bruintjes. his made it very hard to move ahead with any genuine science of weather modification.
Now, however, it's possible to see changes on the order of 10 to 15 percent in rain or snowfall when silver iodide is used to stimulate rain formation or when special salts are used to increase the size of existing raindrops.
"These are the only two cloud-seeding techniques with any scientific backing," said Bruintjes.
"It's also getting easier to see how air pollution particles, called aerosols, and urban heat are modifying the weather," said Joe Golden, senior researcher for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Science Laboratory.
"This pollution in regions that depend on uplift of air (over mountains) for precipitation has caused a systematic decrease in snow packs," he added.
According to Golden, "These are two examples of human-caused effects on weather that concern us."
So much so that he and other scientists are beginning to collaborate with the US Department of Homeland Security to see if there may be ways to modify weather - especially hurricanes - that decrease hazards.
"Now we have much better observing tools for looking at hurricanes," said Golden.
On the other hand, there is little hope that China's efforts to keep rain from falling on the Olympics will succeed, according to scientists.
"China has spent 100 million dollars and employed 30,000 people in weather modification projects, but they are using old techniques from the 1960s and 1970s and have no way of evaluating whether their efforts are working," said Bruintjes.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My mother died in 2010. She left her estate to her children and grandchildren. We finally closed on her house in November 2012. My sister is the executrix and sent letters to every heir detailing the estate expenses incurred since my mother died and what each heir would receive now that everything is settled and paid. She requested a signed copy to show agreement in her calculations before she writes the checks to each of us. Three heirs have yet to respond. My sister refuses to distribute our inheritance until all are in agreement. Is that necessary and is this legal? It has been over 2 1/2 years since my mother died.
I always suggest getting consents from everybody. If not you put yourself at risk of future lawsuite. The secondary option is filing a motion in court to close the estate and distribute, and have the court approve the expenses. Any interested party can file those motions in Michigan. Find a lawyer in your state, and he should be able to force the estate closed and make the distributions if it is just a dispute over expenses.Ask a similar question
It is customary for the executor to ask for waivers of accounting before distributing and closing the estate. If waivers are not returned, she will have to file a judicial accounting. A formal judicial accounting will add to the estate's expenses and reduce the amount available for distribution. If the beneficiaries decide to contest the judicial accounting that will be even more expensive for everybody. You pay your money and take your choice.
Any opinions stated in response to Avvo questions are based upon the facts stated in the question. Responses to Avvo questions are for general information purposes only, and should not be construed or relied upon as legal advice.Ask a similar question
I agree with my colleagues. This is not only legal, but it is quite common. The executrix is entitled to use the funds of the estate to pay her lawyer and to defend against any contests. If there is not a waiver and consent filed, it is possible that the executrix would distribute the money, only to find herself facing such a contest, without any money to defend it. She is not required to place herself in that situation.

While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for BMW vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Anyone who operates a BMW knows that when it comes to fixing their automobile only the most superior replacement parts will do. Your BMW dealership isn't the only place to find the highest quality parts to repair your 330xi. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Heater Hose to repair your automobile.
Before cars and trucks were built with the ability to cool their interiors, they had the ability to heat them. The engine of your BMW 330xi circulates liquid coolant throughout the block to absorb heat, and transfers it through heater hoses to the heater core so you can warm up the passenger compartment. BMW 330xi heater hoses help cool the engine by supplying an alternative path for hot coolant to travel. The return heater hose will usually drop the coolant back into the water pump or a by-pass housing in your engine so the radiator can return it to optimum temperature.
Don't let a broken Heater Hose bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. All the BMW 330xi Heater Hose parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001. Choose your year below to refine your search.


text: The network did say some time back it was selling it, but now Vodafone has released pricing details of the HTC Desire S.According to TechRadar, it arrives in the UK on April 8th, available on the company's £30, two-year plan which includes 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of mobile data.For that, you get a phone offering the HTC Sense interface and an aluminium body, not to mention Qualcomm's new 1GHz Snapdragon MSM8255 processor, dual front and back cameras (5-megapixel for the former), high-definition video recording and a 3.7-inch WVGA display. Android Gingerbread should be on-board at launch.Not content with tempting us with the Desire S, Vodafone has also announced that it will be offering the Samsung-built Google Nexus S in either its original black case or an exclusive white version. That will be available for free on a £35 a month, two-year plan with 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 750MB of mobile data.The network has also announced that it will also be selling the HTC Wildfire S in three different colours, including exclusive grey and purple versions. No date or price for this as yet, but it's likely to be more of a budget offering than the previously-mentioned smartphones.

MILAN — Giorgio Armani explored a neo-classical color cosmetics theme this season. Using Giorgio Armani Beauty products, makeup artist Linda Cantello created eyes with a ying-yang-like motif. She colored the inner half of lids in white, while the outer half was made black and swept outward.
"It's a new way of doing the classic black eye," she said. Meanwhile, Cantello dabbed lips with neutral-colored lipstick. Skin was made pale and luminous with products from the Luminessence Brightening Skin Care line.
Hairstylist Franco Gobbi concocted an asymmetric coif "just as a complimentary look, like an accessory" to the Giorgio Armani-designed, Philip Treacy-created black hats that each model wore. Their hair, parted to the side, was worked into a soft, fanned twist then pinned to heads. The style — achieved without any products — echoed the hats' dramatic contours.
"The textures gets too matted and stuck together with product; it doesn't feel alive," explained Gobbi.
