Minority Workforce in Radio 'Highest Since Mid-1990s.' That's according to a recent RTDNA study by Robert Papper, professor emeritus at Hofstra University. The latest edition of this annual study, titled "Women and Minorities in Newsrooms," examines the state of minorities and women working in both television and radio news organizations. The minority workforce in radio over the past 24 years peaked in 1995 at 14.7%. Results for this year show the minority workforce in radio at 13%. Breaking down the radio minority workforce, the data show African Americans make up 4.8% of the workforce with Hispanics making up 6.2%. However, Papper concludes that the number of minorities working at non-commercial stations is "two to three times as high" compared to the workforce at commercial stations.

Talkers New York 2014 Videos Being Posted. Up Today: Panel Discussion, "Developing and Managing a Talk Show Hosting Career." Today (7/30) marks the 12th consecutive business day of TALKERS magazine's video posting of speeches, sessions and presentations made during last month's 17th annual installment of the talk media industry's longest-running and most important national convention – Talkers New York 2014.

The session was introduced by noted industry attorney, Steve Weisman, legal editor, TALKERS who compares these days to Charles Dickens' "best and worst" of times for being a radio talent. Weisman advises those who think these are the worst of times to "get out now, because they are right." But he also says for those who see it the other way, they are also right — these are the best of times because of all the "unparalleled opportunities" that exist among the changes at hand. Moderator Kinosian sets the tone opening the session with the statement, "As a former program director, the greatest joy I had was dealing with talent. I loved the formatics, the elements… I loved everything about programming a radio station — but nothing interested me more than the talent. What it's like to be a personality. This [panel] is about personalities on the air, their lives and their profession. I am interested in them as human beings." To view the entire presentation, please click here.

'Patriot-Made Audiocast' Celebrates Three Years. Creating American jobs and celebrating the ingenuity that leads to those jobs is the keystone of the mindset of Debra Grobman and Rita Rich, co-producers of the program "Patriot-Made Audiocast." The show is celebrating its third year of "telling stories about creating, and keeping jobs in America." Grobman, based in L.A., says, "The 'Patriot-Made Audiocast' is a made-in-the-USA podcast production and the appetite for positive stories about American inventors, designers, artists and musicians is great throughout North America. Washington-based Rita Rich, former longtime producer of the Jim Bohannon show, adds, "As I talk to people about their work, I learned that patriotism and pride in being American is the bedrock of so many of their stories." Some of the people and companies the program has featured so far include: Annie and William Chilakian, mother and son owners of Silver Moon Bay Convalescent Apparel; Victoria Hunter Closson, inventor of The Headbone; Dal LaMagna, the CEO of IceStone; a green flooring and countertop manufacturer; Chris Miceli, marketing director of Porta-Brace customized carry cases; Judy Smith, co-inventor of Wine-A-Rita drink mix; and Laura Wilkenson-Sinton, co-inventor of FreshTape. Grobman adds, "Consumers are looking for fellowship and a sense of connectedness everywhere, including the marketplace. Rita and I present stories that make the people who make stuff and present ideas as more human and real. That way folks will want to spend money on goods made in the USA. If you put a good story behind the things people buy and you make it worth it."

One-Week Suspension for ESPN's Smith. Concrete proof is hardly required to illustrate the kind of ramifications that can result from a sports talk host's off-the-cuff remarks. Those seeking evidence, however, need only examine two incidents from this month. TALKERS has been following and reporting on the fallout from disparaging remarks WEEI, Boston "Dennis & Callahan" morning show member Kirk Minihane made regarding Fox reporter Erin Andrews. Add to that what happened last Friday (7/25) on ESPN's "First Take" when Stephen A. Smith inferred that women should consider how they are the ones who provoke violence against themselves. In a staff memo, ESPN president John Skipper writes that Smith will not appear on "First Take" or ESPN Radio for one week. In the note, Skipper states, "As many of you know, there has been substantial news coverage in the past few days related to comments Stephen A. made in the wake of the NFL's decision to suspend Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice for two games following charges of assaulting his then fiancée, now wife, a few months ago. Those remarks did not reflect our company's point of view, or our values. They certainly don't reflect my personal beliefs. We have been engaged in thoughtful discussion about appropriate next steps. Those conversations have involved a diverse group of women and men in our company. Our women's ERG has added to the conversation and going forward, I know they will help us continue constructive discussion on this and related issues." Smith was quoted that his particular remark was, "the most egregious mistake" of his career. According to Skipper, "I believe his apology was sincere and that he and we have learned from what we've collectively experienced. I am confident we will all move forward with a greater sense of enlightenment and perspective as the lasting impact of these last few days." According to Skipper's memo, Smith will return to ESPN one week from today (Wednesday, 8/6).

Did SiriusXM Have the Right to Fire Anthony Cumia? A week after satellite broadcaster SiriusXM terminated Anthony Cumia of the "Opie & Anthony" show, TALKERS legal editor Steven J.J. Weisman writes about the underlying legal aspects of the case. Weisman explains that – although he hasn't read Cumia's contract – most performers who sign a contract these days have a morals clause in their deals that give the employer the right to fire employees who do things while off duty that reflect badly on the company. Weisman offers some history of the morals clause and explains what employees finding themselves in Cumia's situation might have in their arsenal with which to fight back. Read Weisman's entire piece here.

Odds & Sods. Mixing it up a bit is Premiere Networks as the syndicator brings rock/talk WMMS, Cleveland and classic rock WDTW, Detroit personality Alan Cox in to sub for Andy Dean on the "America Now" program on Monday, July 14. Though Dean is decidedly conservative, Cox likes to operate more in the pop culture/lifestyle arena.

SiriusXM Appears to Be Moving Ahead with Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Jim Norton. A Tweet by one half of the former Opie & Anthony team – Gregg "Opie" Hughes – seems to indicate that SiriusXM will continue to employ Hughes to host a daily show. Comic Jim Norton – a big part of the show – is likely to stay with the show and pick up some of the slack. His Tweet was brief: "Had a long talk with @SiriusXM me and @JimNorton will be back on the radio next Monday to start to figure this out." Anthony Cumia was fired on July 3 after a series of Tweets deemed racist and vulgar by SiriusXM management. Speaking Cumia, he confirms in a piece published at The Wire that he is preparing to forge ahead with his "Live from the Compound Show" — an online program that will require a subscription fee (though he admits that amount has not been determined). In the piece, Cumia also says he understands that Hughes and Norton are under contract through October so calls from fans for the two to quit in a movement of solidarity with him are unreasonable.
It's Not Just Anthony Cumia; Georgia Public Broadcasting Fires Clay Bolton After Political/Curse Word Incident. Further illustrating how what you do outside of the office can impact your employment status is the case of (now former) Georgia Public Broadcasting producer Clay Bolton. Bolton was photographed by alternative weekly Creative Loafing wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase "F*ck Cobb County" – a protest of the impending move of the Atlanta Braves to the suburbs. Bolton's t-shirt company produces the shirts. He was told by GPB that "the recent actions discussed with you today have impacted the professional integrity and credibility that this organization expects of all its employees in the field of radio and television journalism to comply with. In addition, this organization does not tolerate conduct from any employee that may impact, threaten or coerce another employee, a customer, or a member of the public at any time including off-duty hours." Would Bolton have been spared if the shirt had not used the word "f*ck?" Maybe, but the point is that you can't be too careful these days and, if there is doubt, check with your employer ahead of time when possible.
Talk Host Dana Loesch Threatened Via Twitter. KFTK-FM, St. Louis-based and Radio America nationally syndicated talk host Dana Loesch went public on her Monday program about a threat she received via Twitter from someone who took issue with her stance on gun legislation (Loesch is poised to publish a new book titled, Hands Off My Gun) and, ironically, threatened her. The Tweet came from someone only identified as Gaganna and the Tweets have since been deleted and the account closed by Twitter. The Examiner reports Loesch has had incidents in the past where gun control supporters have threatened her, ostensibly because of her support of the Second Amendment. Most talk show hosts have received negative correspondence at one time or another but threatening messages can be unnerving since one never knows if the threat is empty or not.
Take Your Audience to the Movies. Media consultant Holland Cooke writes about the new Dinesh D'Souza film, "America: Imagine the World without Her," and, in addition to giving his take on the film, slips back into consultant mode and recommends talk hosts/talk stations book a private screening and invite listeners to attend. But do much more than that. Cooke offers suggestions for having a post-film Q&A, and even recording the exchange to use as talking points on subsequent talk shows on your station. Read Holland Cooke's piece here.

Let Them Eat Cake. With all the Beatlemania half-century anniversary stuff going on this year, this blast from the past – courtesy of Westwood One talk star Jim Bohannon – will certainly take you back. It was January 1, 1965, and KICK, Springfield, Missouri disc jockeys Michael Wolfgang (l) and Jim Bohannon (the nerd on the right), both 20, decided to send the Beatles an 8' by 3' cake with their pictures in the icing, to commemorate release of the "Beatles 65″ album. Bohannon tells TALKERS, "We traded out the box, the cake, and Campbell's Express shipping company for publicity, which made the national wires. We even carried the darned thing through the streets of Springfield with police escort to a local retailer's show window, where it was displayed for a week. Standing between us is Springfield singer Della Rae, promoted at the time as the next Brenda Lee. The Sporty 1340 wasn't a bad little station then, including Les Garland and newsman Charles McCord. That's a fair staff for $1.87 an hour."

Townsquare Media to Go Public with IPO Hoping to Raise $144 Million. The negative spin on this story is that by going public, Townsquare Media becomes another company that must serve shareholders first – with all that that implies. But the reality is that Townsquare's backers – Oaktree Capital and GE Capital (with 62% and 18% stakes, respectively) – have poured a lot of cash into building the company's portfolio of 312 radio stations and number of digital publications. The company is sitting on $645 million of outstanding debt and the IPO would help put a dent in that if it raises the $145 million it hopes for. The one aspect of the company's balance sheet that is turning radio industry watchers' heads is that, according to its S1 filing, 26% of its revenue is coming from the non-radio end of its operations. At this point, there is no timetable for the IPO or any report of how much shares will be sold for.
New England Radio Pro Brad Shepard Exits WHYN, Springfield. For the past 11 years, Brad Shepard (left) has co-hosted the morning drive program alongside Bo Sullivan (right) on Clear Channel's news/talk WHYN, Springfield, Massachusetts. Now, the station appears to be going with Sullivan alone in the driver's seat as CC's Jennifer Powers confirms to Masslive.com that "Brad Shepard is no longer part of WHYN mornings. We appreciate all of his contributions during his time with us and wish him well." Prior to joining Clear Channel Springfield in 2000, Shepard was morning host at crosstown AC WMAS-FM for seven years. The move appears to be budget related like most of the talent cuts taking place at Clear Channel that TALKERS and RadioInfo have reported this week.

Bob Murray Takes Leave from WTAX, Springfield to Battle Brain Tumor. "Morning Newswatch" host Bob Murray tells listeners in an open letter that he is taking time from the Saga Communications news/talk outlet to focus on "getting better and being with loved ones." Murray writes: "As you have probably heard, I have decided to elect for an extended medical leave of absence from my post as the host of the 'WTAX Morning Newswatch' due to newly discovered health concerns. Many people have enquired (sic) into what is going on, and I thought it would be best you hear it from me. I have been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer and will be taking this leave from work as an opportunity to focus my time on getting better and being with family and loved ones. While this is far from an ideal situation, we are remaining positive and focusing on staying strong. In the days following the announcement, it has been so incredibly humbling to feel the outpour of prayers and support from all directions, and I am pretty positive I will never be able to properly express how much that means to my family and me. I also want to thank the WTAX family and central Illinois area for their many years of loyal listenership. It has truly been an honor to start each day with you, tackling the issues that matter to us. I hope to be back in the capital soon, focusing on what I love, delivering the news, sports, entertainment and important local happenings to you."

Lincoln Financial Media Fires WQXI, Atlanta's "Mayhem in the AM" After Mocking Bit About ALS-Stricken Steve Gleason. The three sports talk personalities that made up the "790 The Zone" morning show "Mayhem in the AM" – Steak Shapiro, Nick Cellini and Chris Dimino – have been extremely contrite in the aftermath of their firing from the station by Lincoln Financial Media. Although Nick Cellini initially told the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Rodney Ho that his firing was, in a way, a relief and called the station a "sinking ship," he later wrote to Ho saying his words were made "out of pure emotion" and said the station has been nothing but fair to him over the years. Both via the AJC article and social media, all three have expressed their sorrow for their actions and have reached out to former New Orleans Saints player Gleason to apologize. Still, many in the industry are shaking their heads and wondering how three grown men could , first of all, even come up with the idea to craft a bit that mocks an ALS patient and second, apparently, never think twice about it before going ahead with it on the air.
Reflections on a Tragedy and the Fundamental Role of Radio. That is the title of the closing keynote address at the recent Talkers New York 2013 (6/6) convention delivered by Jason Wolfe, VP programming for Entercom Boston. In a serious, heartfelt speech, Wolfe — whose company owns and operates news/talk WRKO and sports talk WEEI in Boston, among others – recounts the events and emotions of the tragedy surrounding the bombing of innocent civilians at the Boston Marathon from the perspective of being a radio broadcaster. He discusses the responsibility broadcasters have in dealing with unexpected hardships and crisis — in providing help, information and comfort to the population in their listening area. Wolfe is introduced by WOLB, Baltimore morning host and longtime local African American community leader/facilitator Larry Young. See Young's introduction and Jason Wolfe's entire speech on TalkersTV by clicking here.
TALKERS Debuts New "Media Broker Spotlight" Feature Today (6/18). In support of the idea that the time is right for displaced radio station managers and first-time buyers to get into radio station ownership, TALKERS in association with its sister trade publication RadioInfo and Sandi Bergman's brokerage website RadioTVDeals.com, is launching a weekly feature titled "Media Broker Spotlight." Each week's installment will focus on an individual broker deemed small and independent buyer-friendly — profiling the broker, sharing their opinions of marketplace conditions and highlighting three or four listed opportunities that fall into this category. TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison states, "We strongly believe many of the talented management veterans who presently find themselves on the beach due to the cutbacks plaguing the mega-corporate sector of the industry should consider going into radio station ownership. They should do so on a modest level going into local markets, rolling up their sleeves, working hands-on and breathing new life into properties that if purchased at the right price still have some tread on their tires. There are numerous sellers out there willing to play ball with buyers who show the will and know-how to operate a station properly, as well as numerous sources of local and non-traditional financing from investors who believe in the potential of community-oriented radio. Not every station in America is part of the Clear Channel/Cumulus/CBS complex… and they should not be overlooked. These independent "orphans," if you will, can thrive with the proper amount of tender loving care. The future of AM/FM radio depends on this as do the careers of so many dedicated broadcasters who have a love for radio flowing in their veins." This week's opening installment features media broker Edward F. Seeger of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina-based Seeger Media, LLC. To read the feature, click here.

Bloomquist Media Wins New York Festivals Gold in Community Service Documentary Category for 'A Grateful Nation.' Talk radio practitioners are by now well aware of Bloomquist Media's work with the Fisher House Foundation – the organization that raises funds to provide housing for the families of American servicemen and women to be near their loved ones as they recover from injuries sustained in battle. In a cooperative effort, Bloomquist Media and Fisher House produced the Memorial Day radio special "A Grateful Nation," which told four stories of service and sacrifice by members of the U.S. military and their families. Because Fisher House Foundation played a role in all of these stories, the organization's message was organically woven into the compelling content. The program aired during Memorial Day weekend 2012 on news/talk radio stations, as well as Sirius XM satellite radio. Bloomquist Media president Randall Bloomquist says, "This award has tremendous meaning for us. We are always striving for excellence — to produce compelling radio that both entertains the audience and makes them aware of an important community cause. To be honored for creating a truly world-class radio program is a testament to the caliber of our work."

Radio Executive John McConnell Teams with ACM to Form Broadcast Initiative.

"Richard M. Smith" <rms () computerbytesman com> replied to Paul:
Thanks for the reply. Let me try to clarify things a bit.
I'm most interested in security holes related to IE, ActiveX controls,
and the Microsoft JVM. Basically things that can be exploited from an
HTML Web page or email message. As you noted, these kinds of security
holes can be exploited from Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Media
OK -- that's pretty much what I assumed in my other answer.
Something like Loveletter didn't use any security holes to run. It's
probably the best example of social engineering being used to get people
to run a virus/worm by clicking on an attached file.
Well, it is that, but it was so successful because far too many
_corporate_ sites were so mal-administered or mal-managed.
LoveLetter did not get sent to 350 squillion Email addresses because
it found that many addresses in home and small business user address
books. It got there because it hit a few really large sites (think
DoD, and the _really big_ corporations -- places with huge GALs and
that use Outlook). It took that level of embarrassment (sometimes
repeated two or three times in teh ensuing month or two) for the
admins and/or management at many large corporate sites to acknowledge
that only blocking known viruses coming in, or possibly "known
viruses plus attachments of one or two extensions that we suspect
might be the big problem ones" was yet another case of a
simplistically stupid approach to a complex problem that had only
started to actually be exploited at that point...
Also does anyone know of an example of a virus or worm that used an IE
security hole that hadn't been seen before?
I forget exactly which offhand (perhaps the first Yaha or something
just before it?) took advantage of the CR-only (or LF-only??) line
break issue, in which many Unix mail servers will incorrectly pass
what should be CRLF line-terminations and are otherwise invalid
characters in standard SMTP traffic. Several content filter and AV
Email scanner parsers "mis-handled" these messages, missing the
attachments entirely (why these products were not written from the
beginning to "fail closed" has still not been satisfactorily
answered) and passing the bad messages on. Of course, Outlook
and/or OE "happily" saw the messages as intended and they would
detach and run the atatchments (and of course the users, feeling
"safe" because they knew their Email was scanned for bad things,
happily double-clicked away...).

I want to look back on my life and say that I lived each day with no regrets. I may have made mistakes, but each one has shaped who I am .
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
He's here!! I drove to Barnes and Noble on Monday, but they didn't get copies of the book. I ordered it and they mailed me a copy. I can't wait to read it.
I just flipped through it. Page 200 is me!! (Except, my name is not Kelly).
That is a typo error. :(
This is so awesome that my story is in Ben's book. I submitted my story to Ben early last year and completely forgot about it until I was flipping through the pages. Wow! I am humbled.

Rodriguez finished the season with a batting average of .251, 9 homeruns, and 40 RBIs. He had 53 runs, 13 stolen bases, 21 walks, and 97 strikeouts. He had an OBP of .308 and a SLG percentage of .397.
Rodriguez has a very powerful swing, but he needs to increase his bat speed and his plate discipline. He had 97 strikeouts which shows lack of patience at the plate and a bad plate mentality (looking to smash the ball, thanks again Shelton). Rodriguez has a very quick swing and power so he could put the ball in play in all areas of the field if he is able to time his swing better and change his plate approach.
Rodriguez played multiple positions for the Rays, but second base seems to be his natural position. He has a very strong arm and a solid release speed. He and Brignac could make a very solid double-play tandem, but Ben Zobrist could get a majority of the playing time at second. Expect him to get spot starts during the season and moved around a few times (just not as much as Zobrist is).
Overall, Rodriguez had a solid season for the Rays. With another Spring coming up, he looks to improve on his first full season at the major level. He needs some work at the plate and won't play every day because of Ben Zobrist, but he will get a chance to produce and come up big for the Rays. Final grade: B-

A 50-something couple sits at a table for two in a nice restaurant. Even the most casual observer can tell they aren't communicating with one another. Oh, she may ask him to pass the salt. Or, without looking up, he'll inquire, "How's your steak?" But there's no real conversation going on, no eye contact and no sign of the spark that once animated their marriage.
Watching this couple is sad. Becoming this couple is tragic. How did their relationship devolve to a point of coexistence rather than co-partnering? Is their monosyllabic interaction a sign they no longer love each other?
More likely, they've simply neglected the regular "checkups" necessary to keep their marriage running optimally in "all weather" conditions.
Marriage experts identify certain transition points in the life of even the healthiest marriage — transitions that, if ignored, can leave couples out-of-sync and emotionally disconnected from one another.
Typical transition points are the birth of a child, when children leave home and after during the retirement of one or both partners. If those life transitions aren't consciously noted and addressed (Who are we now that we're no longer devoted to parenting and our careers?), it can result in couples who gradually drift apart and take up separate lives, barely noticing that they've become total strangers.
"We have concluded that first-half strategies practiced in the second half of life are a sure formula for failure," says Terry Taylor, who, with his wife Carol, founded Second Half Ministries in 1998. The Taylors encourage couples to take a deliberate approach to finishing well in all aspects of life, but especially in their marriages.
So, where do you begin? A review of expert advice and conversations with some who have been happily, productively married for 30 years or more reveals practical steps you can take to make sure you and your spouse don't wind up silently idling your engines. So check under the hood — it may be time to:
All in all, the key to not winding up like the mechanical couple in the restaurant is to realize that your life together is God's gift to you. Like all His gifts, it's meant to be nurtured and cherished each and every day.
Remember when you were dating and you could be together all evening, then talk on the phone until the wee hours of the morning because there was so much more to say? With a little effort, a similar sort of excitement can be a part of your revitalized marriage. May you close down every restaurant you visit.
Thank you to all of the donors who make the work of Focus on the Family possible.

So I'm driving to a friend's house for a Christmas/birthday party tonight with my family. He lives downtown, in a somewhat shady area known for drug dealers and bums. Well, as soon as I pull up to his house, I see a bum standing at the street corner about 10 car lengths behind me. Its 7pm and very dark mind you. Well, I'm helping my wife and baby get out of the car, keeping aware of where he is. And, he's making a bee-line for us...
Well, he could just be walking down the sidewalk, he could be wanting money, or he could be wanting trouble. How am I supposed to know? I go into condition yellow, and focus all of my mental energy on what's about to happen next.
As he directly approaches my car, I notice that he's looking directly at me. He starts talking and says how he's not a bum... and so on and so forth, still walking towards me. He starts to get way to close for comfort, and I unzip my winter wool jacket, and step between my wife and I, taking a weaver stance. I just stare directly at him, and tell him to tell me what he wants.
He immediately backs up a ways and says he's not looking for trouble, and didn't mean to frighten anyone and just needs some cash. I don't carry cash on me, so I told him sorry...
Man that guy made me po'd. Once he approached 5 feet he could have knifed me if he really wanted to. Well, at least it all went down well, and he was very intimidated by my aggressive body language...
FYI - I carry a Colt Combat Commander 1911 .45 ACP in a Cross-Breed IWB holster. My gun and time at the range makes me confident and comfortable in situations like this...

Glad it turned out the way it did. Clear head, cognoscente of your surroundings, aggressive and confident; all key to your keeping yourself and family safe.
People get the government they deserve.
I woudl agree with Duner. The best thing we can do in that situation is take charge, let the person know we mean business, but NEVER lose our head to the moment.
You did great 'Squatch! Really well done sir. Protected the female and didn't have to pull your weapon.
Kudos to you Sir!
Well done and a good outcome.
My one negative critique would be that you went to condition yellow. If you are carrying you should already be in yellow. For me, the only time I am in white is if I am sleeping. Hanging out watching the football game, I am in yellow. Paranoid? No. AWARE!
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
Good job. You did the right things.
You were ready to do what needed to be done, but everyone walked away. I think that is win no matter where you come from!!!
Glad it all worked out well. From the sounds of it you handled the situation well and protected your family.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...

Software Patents Are Crumbling, Thanks To the Supreme Court
Re:Other side of the story. (118 comments)
In my opinion, its probably one of the most meritocratic agencies in the entire Federal government.
Sure...until someone figures out that if you just stamp the application Approved or Rejected without reading it, you can process it much faster and get a bigger bonus. Perhaps their system would catch that particular problem, but I'm sure that there is some way to cheat on doing the work in favor of getting faster completions. I'd rather encourage good work than quick work. Unfortunately, it can be hard to distinguish good work from bad work. Quick is easier to measure but not nearly as valuable.
The part about giving a bonus for being quicker than others is especially egregious in a system that relies on averages. It encourages people to find ways to quickly dump patent applications that are complex to evaluate. This makes the whole system slower while making that examiner's stats look better. It also discourages people from looking deeper into applications that mostly fit a particular narrative but which would require a much longer period to evaluate properly.

Great Yarmouth, ...
once again I tried my hand on an old pattern, this time from 1963. Didn't stick 100% to the original, just used a stripe of the skirt material for sleeves and neck.
suede, wool, zipper, interfacing

Now this is gorgeous and i love the fabric !! where did you come across a german mag?? i .ve got polish ones from my friend!! a lot if google translate and head scratching later i traced some fab dresses etc lol. i love this on you x
Oct 9, 2012, 08.50 AMby chula123
thank you very much Mary! Just browsing the internet one day I came across Kostümkram and Dawanda and went mad. Ordered 4 magazines at once and was really amazed when they arrived. They were in very good condition and some of the clothes pictured are just sooo stylish that I wish I could make them all, despite all the headscratching. Don't know about your polish ones, but the german mags aren't very forthcoming with their explanations. I guess women then were more accomplished seamstresses then and knew what to do, unlike me :-(( Nethertheless, I love these old patterns, so expect to see more :-)) xx

I am numb with feeling and full of purpose.
(Source: falling-apart-broken-promises)
You're hurt right now. You've been trying to find a way to grab his attention but you just seem to not be able to anymore. You need to move on but you don't want to because he made you feel amazing. He made you feel that you were his world, that you were the most important person that ever walked in his life. You don't want to give up because you've been through too much and you aren't ready to let go, but he did. He left, let go like you never meant a thing to him. He was so cold. He never loved you or cared about you. Why are you trying to stay when he's already gone?
You never get over it, but you get to where it doesn't bother you so much anymore than it used to.
-Jeffrey Eugenides
(Source: feellng)
Love doesn't give you very many choices. When you love someone, you just want to be with them. If they break your heart, you will still love them. Because hearts are easy to break, and though love is tender and sometimes fragile, love isn't.
Love sort of envelops you. It covers you like a giant shadow, then pulls you in like a blanket. You are so warm. The feeling surrounds you, and no matter how you feel, it is always there. You can't escape it. But you wouldn't want to. You are so, so safe. You can't remember the last time you were this happy. Were you ever? This happy?
Every second you are apart feels like hours. Sometimes, right before you fall asleep, you miss them so much it hurts. You ache for them. Their warmth. Their touch. Their smell. You need them. When you can't sleep you wish and wish and wish that they would wake up and talk to you. When you dream of them, you wake up smiling. When pain stabs into you, you reach out for them. You cry to them, begging them to hold you and make it all go away, make everything go away.
Love addicts you to its feeling. You never, ever want to lose that feeling. Sometimes the fear of losing love drives people to do crazy things. Like buy a plane ticket. Make a phone call. Run out of a class. Cry. Write. Laugh.
Because when you love someone, you really love them. You give them your whole heart. You trust them. You never want to be away from them. Sometimes, you don't even need their words. You just need them there.
Love is such an amazing thing, and too many people take it for granted. If you're in love, don't let it go. Don't you dare let it go.
