The great #UNPLUG of 2013
or The Relative Merits and Discomforts of a Social Media Fast
or The Extrovert's Dilemma
or I Feel it All (Feist)
I unplugged from all social media for exactly one month, after being inspired by this summer's article in Fast Company by Baratunde Thurston here. Thurston describes himself as the world's most connected man. I am so not, but I am managing a family and wearing a lot of hats including social media marketing for my little creativity brand.
The most ironic thing is to broadcast the contents of that month via social media. So here's to irony! Excerpted notes from the #UNPLUG:
Day 1– Oh, holy hell. I have already come unraveled. My engagement in social media has masked and veiled so much. Am using it to self-medicate. Am I addicted? Am already in a rather embarrassing and clichéd depression. Crap. But feel more calm and present. Relieved by the lack of artificial pressure of "how much I have to do." Spinning plates. Present with my kids. No need to spin those plates.
Day 2– Am I the plate or the spinner of the plate? In a most interesting day of traffic school this summer I learned about my ranking in a scale based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. My highest score is in the category of "love and belonging." I scored a 78% in love and belonging. Not crazy high, but way higher than all the other scores. This is the best worst kind of a driver to be–too cautious, courteous, and slow–too mindful of others. So, I am wired to find love and belonging on social media. Shit. Without social media there is nothing to distract me from my feelings of discomfort or mask them. And then there is the narcissism of falling in love with our social media reflection so brilliantly described here.
Day 3–
House arrest
Marital spat
#unplugging sucks
love and belonging sucks
confounded relationship to social media
100 hours in and my inbox is cleaner. More is getting done. Been on three bike rides and a run. Am I escaping?
Day 5 and you can say life feels a little sadder and a little quieter, but am totally present with my family and with what's around me. Social media is sort of like a forest of cicadas. We stand in that forest and we don't even know they're buzzing. When we turn it off, it's so quiet and so much more still.
Day 6–Much better. PLUGGED IN to my family, my life, my yoga practice. The farther away I get from it the less I want it, need it, or care. My life has sparkles and magic in it. It is OK to not share mine and to not look at the lives of others. Paying attention to the moments. Reading books, talking to my husband, inhaling my kids, building a tree fort in the backyard. I actually got on my bike and rode to a local cafe to write. I sought out real connection during the exact time of day and in the same manner that I would normally check in on facebook. I didn't speak to anyone but it felt good to be among them. I like people. The virtual and the real social arenas both hold the possibility of connection–the possibility of bumping into someone or being inspired by something or informed. Both realms hold promise.
Additionally, I am now officially, acutely and irrevocably aware that the stream of information we see looks absolutely like the cascading waterfall of green streaming data in the Matrix.
8 days in and the craving has mostly subsided...feel way more present in my life. Normally, when things get too intense with my life, work, or family, I hit the eject button and escape for a few minutes into social media.
11 days in. Am aware that facebook and Instagram are consumed so quickly. The motion is churning. It is rapid and frenetic–frenzied. Inherent in the medium is the inability to self-regulate because it is so fast and so hungry for more. Also, I am no longer distracted by my devices.
day 13–Social media isn't the problem, I am.
I feel my life hugging in around me. Am wearing my life like a coat and I like it. Am aware of so much...all the little stuff...because I am mindful and present...the love and connection...planning and back-to-school shopping. It isn't a picnic, though. I feel the whole range of emotions including frustration and anger, but I don't escape into social media to deal with them. I take a bike ride, eat a salad, sit with my feelings, and talk about them.
Day 14–who cares? I am free! I don't care about my phone. Don't care about my texts or emails–never know where my phone is. This #UNPLUG is nice. I feel my flesh around my bones. I feel it all.
16 days It feels really good right here, right now.
Day 17–I do miss my blog, though. I would like to blog about our tree house because it is stellar.
Last day–I had no idea until the last day that I would realize that even offline, even outside the realm of clicks and likes, I have been hiding. That thought just washed over me through blubbering back-to-school tears...that I have been hiding in my family–in my life. It has been so precious. So stressful. So crazy. My kids have been wondrous and amazing and awful and parenting them this summer has been largely blissful, and by turns I have felt like a total failure as a mom because of their nutsy behavior. Parenting is the most beautiful hard work.
And here it is, this cracking realization that even unplugged, even plugged-IN to my family and my life, I find ways to cope, handle, deal with it all. And it is wonderful. And so with that awareness it is much easier to tumble from the wardrobe of Narnia, and back into the world. We four left our coats in the wardrobe, just like Susan, and Peter and Edmund and Lucy did in the book. But here we are back again. And we have a kick ass tree fort. And it is OK. I know more than I knew before.
Surprising realizations of the #UNPLUG:
1. I get my news in large part through social media. My consistent news source is from someone's post of the thing they shared from their friend from Huffington Post. OMG.
2. The extent of my self-medication came as a complete shock.
3. Life is peaceful and quiet and good when you inhabit it like we lived just 14 years ago in 1999–only email, nothing else.
My self-prescribed rules and regulations for healthy social media engagement:
1. Create and maintain healthy boundaries and limits.
2. Take a weekend Technology Shabbat
3. No Facebook on my phone. Be present wherever I go. Take my mindfulness with me.
4. Only post something if I actually have something meaningful to contribute.
5. Limited, measured doses of time spent and NO COMPULSIVE CHECKING (we OCD people need that one).
6. No mistaking that social media is "work" even when I am marketing and branding with it.
7. No HIDING in social media.
8. Pleasure Principle: Accept that I am a beautiful child of god with flaws and desires and compulsions and anxieties and that it is OK to take sips of the stream of social media because I like it and it feels good. I like people and I like myself. I like sharing my life and sharing the lives of my friends. I like sharing my work and inspiring people creatively on my business pages. I feel nourished by connection...the connection in my real, flesh life and the connections I get though the Matrix-like cascade of information from my friends and inspiring websites and news sources.
Oh, and nice to share with you again. Thanks for reading. I look forward to hitting the "publish" button once again. And so here I go....click.

Living an unplugged life sounds so heavenly. I try to build in unplugged segments to my life. But oh, one month free?! I'm jealous. You inspire me to keep "disconnecting" and reconnecting with "real" life! Good for you!

I adore you, Carrie. I've been trying and trying to set limits for myself online, and the first thing that I'm going to do is delete facebook from my phone. I'm keeping IG. :) The other thing I'm planning is no social media past 5pm and no social media on weekends. We will start with Sundays. XO Love you so much!

So helpful Carrie - thank you so much. To be engaged with my family is so important - my rule is no social media time from when I pick my boys up from school until they are in bed. I don't always manage to stick to it, but when I do it is much better for everyone. I think I should try no social media on Sundays too - but that would be harder! Thanks for the challenge :-)

What you did was awesome and inspiring and hard and brave... What u wrote and how you describe your experience even more so. I love how you write from the gut and heart, unabashedly. As always, I love you lady! You make me want to be a better human being :). Now I'm turning off my iPad because I feel guilty, ha!

So that's where you've been! And while you were gone, Meg Cox was singing your praises for Collage on her Facebook page. So on the next check in, make sure you're there reading it. I tagged you, but it didn't go through. That said, I always love knowing over moms suffer like I do, because it is SO TRUE that misery loves company! Congrats on surviving. Congrats on the tree fort. And I'll be sending you studio Collage pics from here so, Girl. Love you!!

Very inspiring and thank you for blogging about it! I agree we have to be careful about using social media as an escape and have boundary's around it. The sm as work piece is an interesting thing to think about as well. How will you define when to use sm for work and when it is excess?

"Only post something if I actually have something meaningful to contribute." I think this is the most important point people need to take note of, especially those who use social media for marketing and branding. There's no sense in posting about seeing a chicken cross the road when you're business is about selling dresses, right? ;)

Police say seized fake currency will be sent to Forensic Science Laboratory for examination
The city police found that some ISI agents were smuggling fake currency from Pakistan and Bangladesh into the country. The agents were making efforts to hit the economy of India, said the police.
The Central Zone police arrested Abdul Aleem, a native of Lalagola Town, Musheerabad District of West Bengal and a former journalist Ch. Nandalal Bose in the city recently. Police seized Rs.3 lakh fake currency and Rs.80,000 original cash from them.
IB alert
The arrests were made just a couple of days after the Intelligence Bureau (IB) alerted the police over likely infiltration of suspected terrorists from Bangladesh on trains. The IB also cautioned the police over increasing ISI activities in the country.
During investigation, it was revealed that Aleem was smuggling fake currency using agents from Bangladesh to India in trains.
He had arranged middlemen at different places for circulating the fake notes in the market. Bose, who has financial problems, agreed to exchange the counterfeit currency by taking some amount, said the police.
"The notes seized from the accused were printed in Pakistan or Bangladesh and were smuggled from Malda District (border district of India with Bangladesh). There is a lot of difference between the local fake currency and the ISI counterfeit notes, which almost resembles original currency," said a police officer investigating the case.
The Satyanarayanapuram police had arrested Aleem along with another person of West Bengal for circulating fake currency, a few months ago.
Patamata police station Circle Inspector P.E. Pavan Kumar Reddy (who arrested Aleem and Bose) said that the seized counterfeit currency would be sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for examination.

There are few producers today that can match the innovation and ingenuity that Matthew Herbert has displayed over the past twenty years through his various aliases. Herbert has an exceptional talent for spotting a musical quality in sounds that would otherwise pass us by in every day life, and his ability to transform these sounds into engaging pieces is second to none.

Makam is also present on the mix and invited the man himself to his Club Night Weekender this weekend, which gave us a perfect reason to have a chat with the Berghain/Panorama Bar resident.

We've all come to know Petar Dundov as one of the most enigmatic techno live sets of the last decade. Born in Zagreb, his career in dance music stretches back the best part of 20 years, but it's only in the new millennium that he's been using his own name for his productions. His 2013 album Sailing Off The Grid got raving reviews and enforced his unique style of making techno music to expand people's horizons. Petar returns to Trouw this Saturday to play at Something Happening Somewhere with Etapp Kyle and Nuno dos Santos. A lot has happened since we've last seen him, so we were thrilled to have a chat with him in the middle of his busy schedule.

Nuno dos Santos' Something Happening Somewhere label will be hosting a new edition of their club night here in Trouw on Saturday. With their fourth EP that has just been released (Sigward - Black Mambo), they thought it would be nice to sell a couple of their releases on the night itself so you can take home a cool gift for yourself or someone else!

A few years back, a close friend played me a record. It was around the time house was experiencing a well-deserved resurgence in Europe. It re-introduced the genre to its Chicago and Detroit roots while it also explored the deeper bass lines that were left behind from the dubstep era. The track was called Frontin and it was unique to everything else that was around at the time. It still tipped its hat to the origins of dance music, but there was a raw quality that was unrivaled amongst its contemporaries. I was hooked. After inquiring, my friend informed me that German artist Danilo Plessow created Frontin under the guise of Motor City Drum Ensemble, a name that reflects his auto-Industry-home origins of Stuttgart.

All good things must come to an end, as is also the case with Trouw. We previously announced we would be closing our doors by the end of this year, but now there is an official date set. The very last opportunity to party here in Trouw is Saturday January 3rd 2015.

You might have seen them around town the past month: the posters for Trouw's Last Summer. We got a lot of responses about our posters hanging throughout the city, and many asked us for a copy to hang on the wall at home. That's why we'll be selling a small number of these posters!

Use of Remanufactured Parts in the Federal Vehicle Fleet Is Based On a Variety of Factors
GAO-13-316R: Published: Mar 7, 2013. Publicly Released: Mar 7, 2013.

What GAO Found
The 14 agencies GAO reviewed have vehicle repair processes that generally allow field office staff, such as the vehicle operator or local fleet manager, to make vehicle maintenance and repair decisions. These processes neither mandate nor prohibit the use of remanufactured parts. The agencies we reviewed generally do not keep data on the extent to which remanufactured parts are used. Agency officials from the 14 agencies in our review said that they use remanufactured parts when warranted, and we observed the presence of remanufactured parts in the stock rooms during our visits to repair facilities. Deciding when to use remanufactured parts, according to agency officials and related guidance, depends on a number of factors including the cost, availability, and reliability of the part. According to agency officials, these factors are considered on a case-by-case basis for each repair to yield the best value for the federal government.
Why GAO Did This Study
In fiscal year 2011, federal civilian agencies reported about $975 million in maintenance and repair costs for approximately 588,000 vehicles that the agencies owned. These vehicles can be maintained and repaired using new or remanufactured parts. While there is no standard definition of a remanufactured vehicle part, the Federal Acquisition Regulation defines remanufactured parts as factory rebuilt to original specifications. Remanufactured vehicle parts tend to be less expensive than comparable new parts. The principal remanufactured products in the motor vehicle sector are engines, transmissions, starter motors, alternators, steering racks, and clutches, according to the U.S. International Trade Commission.
Given the potential for cost savings from using remanufactured parts in the federal fleet, you asked us to examine this issue. Thus, this report describes (1) the vehicle repair process for selected agencies, including the use of remanufactured parts, and (2) the factors that agency officials consider when deciding whether to use new or remanufactured parts for repairs.

text: Obama Prepares for Showdown with Israel's Netanyahu Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 3 Mar 2014 post a comment Though Russia's Vladimir Putin has violated Ukrainian sovereignty and the laws of war, though his government has lied brazenly to American officials and flouted the norms of the international community, President Barack Obama has reserved his ire for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Time is running out," said Obama in an interview released on Sunday afternoon, warning that Israel had to make deep concessions for peace. The timing of the interview's publication was likely no accident: though the Obamaphilic Jeffrey Goldberg met with Obama Thursday, his article was only published once Netanyahu was in midair over the Atlantic. Bibi seemed to have anticipated Obama's rebuke, declaring before he left Israel that he would not yield to pressure. Yet Obama's remarks still were, in the worlds of Times of Israel editor David Horvitz, a "bombshell." On past visits, Netanyahu has seemed to get the better of Obama--excluding his 2010 visit, when the president infamously left the prime minister to stew in the White House. This time Obama seems to be taking no chances. Secretary of State John Kerry is set to reveal the administration's "framework" for an Israeli-Palestinian peace when he addresses the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference on Monday afternoon. So the White House will control the media narrative as tightly as possible, and Netanyahu will barely have an opportunity to respond before he addresses AIPAC on Tuesday morning. Yet while Netanyahu will be boxed in by the news cycle, it is Obama's foreign policy that has been boxed in by reality. The impotence of the U.S. in dealing with Ukraine and Syria has freed Israel, ironically, to deal with Iran and other threats as it sees fit.

"There in the middle of the broad, bright high-road-there, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth or dropped from the heaven-stood the figure of a solitary woman, dressed from head to foot in white garments." Thus young Walter Hartright first meets the mysterious woman in white in what soon became one of the most popular novels of the nineteenth century. Secrets, mistaken identities, surprise revelations, amnesia, locked rooms and locked asylums, and an unorthodox villain made this mystery thriller an instant success when it first appeared in 1860, and it has continued to enthrall readers ever since. From the hero's foreboding before his arrival at Limmeridge House to the nefarious plot concerning the beautiful Laura, the breathtaking tension of Collin's narrative created a new literary genre of suspense fiction, which profoundly shaped the course of English popular writing.

We open with Carlos making his famous sealable plastic bag salad with positive affirmations. It is good for all occasions.
Restaurant Wars is meant to show you the very condensed version of opening a restaurant. Everything goes wrong when you open a restaurant. It just is a clusterfuck beyond compare. But in 42 minutes of television we bring you a very annotated version of that stress. They will break into two teams, shop and conceive a menu, they will build a kitchen and design the dining room, and they will nominate a GM and Exec Chef to fulfill the typical leadership roles of a restaurant. Usually you find the micromanagers with palpable egos running for the leadership positions, or sometimes it's just people vying for the Exec Chef role because that's what they feel most comfortable doing. This is a tale of the latter.
"What is going on right now?" You, dear chefs, are getting Chang'd. David walks in and war is declared.
The chefs schism into two groups, purple team naming theirs "Fin" and green team dubbing their concept "Found." Did the names have to begin with the letter F? How about fool, flounder, fossil, fester or fingerfud? I am also having a hard time diagnosing the meanings for the names. Travis says something about fin meaning dorsal fin, which is like explaining the your restaurant called Grass with, "You know, like wheatgrass." Sometimes I don't attempt to understand Travis, I just say, "Look at the eagle," point at nothing and walk away.
Sara is in favor of the wide spectrum idea of "Modern American" and none of them are pastry chefs.
Travis on the other team is proud to take the mantle of front of the house. He is awesome out there the entire night because they have not made their restaurant a Vietnamese concept that he would have to over-explain. Justin is the exec chef and he is coming prepared, what with his training regimen and all. He also drops Billy Reid's name in the design ideas. C'mon people, we are not on that type of budget.

text: Jason Kidd Retires Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 3 Jun 2013 post a comment Jason Kidd retired on Monday from playing professional basketball in the NBA. "My time in professional basketball has been an incredible journey, but one that must come to an end after 19 years," Kidd said in a statement. "As I reflect on my time with the four teams I represented in the NBA, I look back fondly at every season and thank each every one of my teammates and coaches that joined me on the court." Here are some of Kidd's accomplishments: Kidd is a 10-time NBA All-Star (1996, 1998, 2000-04, 2007-08, 2010), a five-time All-NBA First-Team selection (1999-02, 2004) and earned All-NBA Second Team honors in 2003. He was named to the NBA's All-Defensive First Team four times (1999, 2001, 2002, 2006) and Second Team five times (2000, 2003-05, 2007) and was the 1995 Co-Rookie of the Year. He also averaged 12.6 points, 8.7 assists. 6.3 rebounds and 1.93 steals with Dallas, Phoenix, New Jersey and New York. Here is where the former California player ranks on the league's all-time leaders lists: Second in season-appearances (19), sixth in games played (1,391), third in minutes (50,111), second in assists (12,091), second in steals (2,684), third in three-point field goals (1,988), 50th overall in rebounds and first overall amongst guards (8,725), 71st in points scored (17,529) and third in triple-doubles (107). He won an NBA title with the Mavericks and was a two-time Olympic gold medalist.

TORONTO — First pitching coach Don Cooper.
Then second baseman Gordon Beckham.
And finally, with two innings to go on their first road trip of 2013, Dayan Viciedo went down.
The White Sox left fielder strained his left oblique swinging at a pitch from Esmil Rogers during the eighth inning of a 3-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night, a fitting cap to a 3-7 trip. Viciedo will be re-evaluated Friday, and while he downplayed the significance of it, oblique strains typically have disabled-list ramifications.
''You just want to go home,'' manager Robin Ventura said after the game. ''I don't care what the weather's like or anything. It's been a long, rough road trip. We're ready to go home and hopefully turn it around.''
Viciedo was 1-for-2 in the game and 7-for-14 over his last four, finally coming around after a poor start.
''When I swung, I was pretty bad,'' he said after the game. ''It feels a little better now.
''When I breathe hard, I feel it. But I don't think it's that bad.''
Cooper was hospitalized with diverticulitis the first day of the trip and Beckham fractured the hamate bone on his left wrist that night in Washington.
Konerko at DH
Paul Konerko was the designated hitter for the seventh straight game.
''Whatever they think is best, I'll do. I'm here to help,'' said Konerko, whose nine-game hitting streak ended.
Ventura said he kept Konerko, 37, out of the cold in Cleveland and off the artificial turf in Toronto.
''Paul will play some first base when we get home,'' Ventura said.
This and that
Adam Dunn went into the game hitting .111 and was 1-for-33 on the road trip.
† Cooper will rejoin the Sox for Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins at U.S. Cellular Field.
† Alex Rios, who singled in the fourth inning after R.A. Dickey retired the first 11 Sox batters, has hit safely in 21 of his last 22 games dating to last season.
†Friday's starter, Jake Peavy is 4-0 with a 1.73 ERA in his last four starts against the Twins.

Everyone loves an underdog. That's why we love the President Casino on the Admiral. Yes, it may be an unlucky game of baccarat away from bankruptcy. Yes, its restrooms may not always be tidy. Yes, parking is a hassle. But the President has character. It has history. It has the Mississippi River beneath its gunwales, not a moat that makes it a riverboat in name only. This is the real thing. The odds in any given casino game are essentially the same, no matter where you go. And so preferences are largely based on aesthetics. We like the chandeliers, polished-metal ceiling and view of the river from the President. The President is ideal for the low roller. If blackjack is your game, you're more likely to find a $5 minimum here than at other area casinos, which all too often refuse to set up a new game while lines of cheapskates grow ever larger at the few affordable tables. Plus, the President is just darn lucky. In four visits, we've never lost. The place is one gigantic ATM, just a few blocks away from the Laclede's Landing nightclub district. No wonder they're going broke.

The terrace seats in the Lisner Auditorium are horrible! I left early because the are so crowded on leg room. I'm 5'7" tall and my knees were jammed into the seat in front of my. It was worse than a 16 hour coach flight. Ppl were up and down because they were uncomfortable. It was hard to enjoy the show in such misery.Diego El Cigala info • Nov 19 2014 star this tip starred

Battle of the Books, Spring 2012, First Round :: Hell Train by Christopher Fowler vs. Greatshadow by James Maxey
Our second match of the Spring Bracket of the 2012 Battle of the Books pits two new Solaris titles against each other: Hell Train by Christopher Fowler vs. Greatshadow by James Maxey. The winner will be the book I most want to continue reading after the first 25 pages.
Hell Train: Solaris paperback, January 2012, 319 pages, cover art by Graham Humphreys. Christopher Fowler has published some thirty books, mostly horror novels and collections, but also the Bryant & May series of mystery novels. He is a five-time winner of the British Fantasy Award, including best novel for Full Dark House, and has been nominated for the Stoker Award, World Fantasy Award, and others. Based on this impressive track record, we named Hell Train one of the four "seeded" novels for the Spring 2012 Battle of the Books.
Hell Train is a horror novel paying tribute to the glory days of Hammer Films. The novel opens in 1966, when Hammer was beginning to lose the momentum from The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, and was looking for a new hit. Screenwriter Shane Carter receives an assignment to write the next Hammer film, but he has only five days to do it. The producer Michael Carreras (an actual Hammer producer) suggests something about a train. As Carter wanders the Hammer studio, his eyes fall on a board game called "Hell Train." In the second chapter, a young girl finds the same game in her attic, but gets more than she bargained for when she begins to play. The third chapter takes us to Europe during World War I, where a British con artist has arrived by train at a mysterious village. We don't know how these scenes connect yet, but one suspects that the girl and/or the con artist are actually characters in the movie Shane Carter is writing.
Greatshadow: Solaris paperback, February 2012, 416 pages, cover art by Gerard Miley. Greatshadow is the first in The Dragon Apocalypse series. James Maxey has written a previous fantasy trilogy with dragons, the Dragon Age series--Bitterwood, Dragonforge, and Dragonseed--as well as the superhero novels Nobody Gets the Girl and Burn Baby Burn and a collection of short fiction called There Is No Wheel.
Talk about in media res, Greatshadow begins with the first-person narrator being thrown out a 500-foot-high window, and the action never slows after that. But Maxey still manages to give us a feel for his main characters. Our narrator is the devoted sidekick of the superhuman warrior woman Infidel. Surprisingly, the narrator does not survive the first 25 pages, yet his disembodied spirit continues to tell the tale. Hints have been dropped that the story will involve Infidel attempting to rob an immensely powerful dragon of its treasure.
The Battle: Both of these novels have strong openings. Greatshadow hits us with action from the first paragraph, quickly setting the stage for what promises to be very fun reading. Hell Train builds up a bit more slowly, but that's because the story is modeled after the style of the old Hammer horror films. I absolutely love how the first chapter, in which our protagonist arrives at the Hammer studio, is itself like a typical Hammer movie: the studio is in a secluded mansion, oddly quiet, where our hero meets a beautiful but enigmatic woman, while subtle hints of strangeness add to the gothic feel.
I try to be as objective as I can with the Battle of the Books, but sometimes you have to surrender to your biases. I love the old Hammer films (even the bad ones), and the concept of a horror novel in the Hammer style about the making of a Hammer movie is very appealing to me. A fantasy novel about stealing treasure from a dragon just doesn't have the same appeal. That's an admittedly subjective reaction, and if you love dragon books, I am sure Greatshadow will be well worth your time. But for me, I want to spend that time with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.
THE WINNER: HELL TRAIN by Christopher Fowler
Hell Train advances to take on Tempest by Julie Cross in the second round.

Hammer films didn't ring a bell with me, but that isn't surprising because I'm not truly much of a genre media fan.
Upon looking up Hammer films, I learned that the 1965 version of She (based on the novel by H. Rider Haggard) was made by Hammer Film Productions. The movie stars Ursula Andress, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. I've seen it, although I'm not sure I'd recommend it.

If you're running a business, you know that one of the more major risks is that your flow of customers is going to dry up. Maybe one day you have a whole bunch of customers coming through your door. But then the next day, they're mostly gone. This might happen because another business opened next door, which is undercutting your prices. It might be because of some other reason. The important thing is that you need to find ways to build customer loyalty.
The personal touch can be a big deal. If you know your clients by name, and you can greet them on their birthdays, that would be huge. You can also go the loyalty card route. People who keep on coming back to your business might be given a discount or some sort of freebie. You can start this right away. You just need to print your loyalty cards online after figuring out the design, and you're golden. So don't delay.

I bought this for my adult daughter to try. She needed to blend in roots and streaks in her highlighted blonde hair. I've been recommending Herbatint to her, since I started using it 2 years ago. She needs an ash blonde shade. However, when she applied the Swedish Blonde (which looks quite ash in the photo) her hair came out bright copper. Very distressing. We're still trying to correct her hair color. It might work for someone else. I like using Herbatint, but my shade is totally different and I'm covering gray.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischman's chief of staff says his unpaid leave of absence to supervise his boss' re-election effort was planned.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Chip Saltsman said he left the government payroll June 8 to oversee Fleischman's campaign on a volunteer basis until at least Aug. 2. Fleischman's office did not announce Saltsman's departure.
Fleischman has three challengers in the Republican primary election for the 3rd Congressional District.
Saltsman said he might return as the congressman's aide after the primary.
On Tuesday, Saltsman acknowledged telling the website Politico.com that he declined the first three offers to become Fleischman's chief of staff. Fleischman's office didn't make the congressman available for comment Tuesday.

A bill tabled this week by the General Assembly could change the way state wineries can do business, and it's possible that consumers could see an impact. It's all about how vineyards and wineries distribute their wine. If the bill passes, Virginia wineries will no longer be able to sell to local businesses. The wineries and the places that sell our state's wine are concerned.
"This is going to dismally affect, I would say 40% of the Virginia wineries," explained vinter Felicia Warburg Rogan.
Rogan has been in the Virginia wine business for more than 25 years. This week the General Assembly tabled a bill that affects Virginia wineries like Rogan's. It would stop them from selling directly to retailers.
"Our sales people here at Oakencroft will no longer be available to them," she said. "They are going to have to buy our wines through a distributor."
Vinters will have to charge less to attract those distributors, and retailers will have to charge more to make a profit. The bottom line: consumers will pay more, wineries will make less.
At Oakencroft they typically make 4,000 or 5,000 cases of wine each season, but some other local wineries make far less and they are the ones that could be hurt the most.
"A distributor would not be taking them on with the few cases that they have," Rogen added.
The co-owner of Vavino, an all-Virginia wine restaurant on the downtown mall, agrees.
"These are small operators who are making their product and going door-to-door selling it themselves," said Michael Shaps. "They can't afford to hire a big sales force."
Rogan says the bill could have a dramatic effect.
"The worst possible scenario is that our wineries are going to go out of business. That's not the worst possible, that's what's going to happen," Rogan concluded.
Both Rogan and Shaps are urging people to contact their state representatives. They say it's close, but not too late to helping to stop the bill.
There are some 103 wineries in Virginia. That number has more than doubled in the last decade.

Jorge Labarga named next Florida chief justice
Justice Jorge Labarga will be the Florida Supreme Court's next leader.
The seven-member court on Wednesday elected 61-year-old Labarga to a two-year term beginning July 1. He will succeed Chief Justice Ricky Polston who will remain on the bench.
Labarga becomes the first Cuban-American to hold the post. The chief justice serves as the chief administrative officer for the state courts system.
His election followed a tradition of electing the next senior justice who hasn't yet held the position.
Labarga was first appointed to the high court in 2009 by former Gov. Charlie Crist. He will become the court's 56th chief.
Labarga is from West Palm Beach and he served as a trial court judge and then briefly as an appeals judge before he was appointed to the Supreme Court.

When Keds sneakers were launched back in 1916, the world was in the midst of World War I. The American footwear company has been through plenty of cultural and financial ups and downs since then and it has finally, 95 years into its existence, it is branching out and trying something new: apparel.
Keds began selling its first apparel collection exclusively at New York's indie fashion retailer, Opening Ceremony. The collection, which has about 85 sportswear designs for men and women, launched in OC stores and online on Black Friday, as Women's Wear Daily notes.
"The Keds brand was founded about the same time that American sportswear was created, so the introduction of apparel is a natural fit for us in many ways," said Kristin Kohler Burrows, Keds brand president, according to Fibre2Fashion. "We drew inspiration for this initial collection from American style icons who have worn Keds over the past 100 years," icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Jackie Onassis, Paul Newman, Humphrey Bogart, and Natalie Portman.Continue reading...

Here it comes. You can't avoid it. It's "the most prestigious art show in the Americas." It's Art Basel, the annual art festival that takes over Miami Beach as soon as it turns nippy in New York and other climes. This year it's running from Dec. 1-4, pulling in "more than 260 leading galleries" from around the world, according to its site.
When you put that kind of art into that kind of location, a whole lot of money is likely to change hands. And where there is money, there is opportunity. At least, that's what the folks at Christian Dior seem to think. So they set up the company's very first pop-up shop in order to take advantage of the number of moneyed folks who will all be in one small geographical area.
Don't think the space is going to be little, though. This pop-up is 3,100 square feet, "an explosion of fluorescent color and visual stimuli, a meld of Plexiglas and endless video screens" with "mannequins (that) sport black wigs dip-dyed in party pinks and purples," according to Women's Wear Daily. There's a nail salon in the back and a food truck out front that serves French pastries and coffee. There's a photo booth and rotating DJs and a game night that will feature "pinball and foosball tables" that have "designs inspired by the various necklaces, rings and bangles in the collection." Naturally.
The pop-up isn't the only ground broken by the iconic design house. The featured line is the first to be a partnership between Dior and an outside artist, German Anselm Reyle, WWD reports.
When Dior initially asked, Reyle didn't exactly jump at the chance, WWD reports: "I waited a bit at first because it's not the usual thing for artists to do such a collaboration," he says, according to the site. "I had to think about it." Three days later, he agreed.
Prices on the fluorescent-camouflage items in the Dior x Reyle collection, by the way, "range from $310 for a resin bangle to $4,500 for a metallic lambskin Lady Dior," Women's Wear Daily reports. Naturally.

Since the start of the global recession, plenty of companies have shut down, entered bankruptcy, or laid off a good chunk of their workforce. Yet, as the Financial Times points out, some corporations manage to continue funding large museums and exhibitions, such as Deutsche Bank's sponsorship of England's Frieze Art Fair.
Deutsche Bank is so steady that it didn't seem to bat an eye earlier this year when Frieze decided to also throw a fair in New York and another one alongside the one that already sprouts up in London, the FT notes: Deutsche went ahead and sponsored both of them, too.
UBS sponsors Art Basel and Miami Basel; Unilever's dollars are tied up in an annual commission at the Tate Modern. Other such brands as Converse, JP Morgan, Louis Vuitton, and Agnès B give as well. But despite these instances of corporate generosity, overall support for the arts by corporations has fallen 20 percent, according to a report cited by the FT.Continue reading...
