Latest posts not visible
- Robert Lauriston Jun 22, 2008 10:31 AM
I'm opening recently "New" topics and not seeing the latest post. Could just be latency.
However, unlike the last time this was happening, the missing posts are being marked as read, and when I return to the board list the topic no longer shows as new.
I'm experiencing the same thing. Seems like this new twist on the old problem just started today or yesterday.
It's been bad and it's getting worse. Used to be that it sometimes took a few minutes for a post to show up in a thread. Now 15-30 minutes isn't uncommon. Just went to "My Chow" and saw that a new post was made to a thread I've been following 18 minutes ago. Click on the thread, and the new post is nowhere to be found.
This gets especially irritating when I want to edit a post of my own. Fix a typo, save the change, find another typo, and only the original post will load. Surely there's a simple fix for this...
re: alanbarnes
Me too. None of the 3 posts I have made in last 8 hrs have appeared. One entire thread has disappeared after I posted and it was not off topic/inappropriate. Confusing.
re: alanbarnes
I'd have to imagine that if there were a SIMPLE fix, it'd have been done. The engineers clearly are working on things, so let's give them some credit where it's due.
re: Chris VR
Among my engineer friends, "surely there's a simple fix" is a running joke. It's what's said by people who have no understanding whatsoever as to how a system works, let alone any clue as to the source of a particular problem or the effort that's gone into preventing and/or solving it. So when somebody complains that he's been beating his head against a wall for a couple of days without any results, responding with a deadpan "surely there's a simple fix" is supposed to lighten the mood (if deranged laughter can be considered light). That, or result in bodily assault.
Regardless, it was my attempt at humor.
re: alanbarnes
And often the simplest fix would break something else.
If you don't know the source, it's very hard to guess whether a problem is non-trivial.
re: alanbarnes
Sorry for being oversensitive- my better half is a software engineer, as are most of my geeky friends (and I've done some programming myself ages ago) and I really do sympathize with the engineering team. Things never are as easy as they look (but then, you really could say that of ANY profession!)
re: Chris VR
As of yesterday, my posts weren't showing up. Using this as a test.
me 7. my experience is the same as AlanBarnes 6:58 and the op by R.L. i'm appreciative of any efforts by engineering on all of our behalves.
jfood as well. open a post marked "new" and every one is collapsed. if jfood returns they are all expanded. quite a frustrating experience.
re: Engineering
> Are you seeing something outside that behavior on thread pages?
Yes. Thread indicates there are new posts with the New icon. Click on thread. Everything is collapsed, no new posts appear in thread, either expanded or collapsed.
Go back to overview, "new" icon disappears, as if you've seen the new posts. Open thread again. New posts now there, but collapsed, because system thinks you've seen them. Scan through dates/times looking for new posts and open them manually.
Quite a tedious process, as you can imagine. Let me know if I haven't explained this well This happens about 50% of the time since approx. June 21-22.
re: Engineering
It has to do with the delay in some posts showing on a thread. A post is made and the thread gets the new tag. Open the thread and the latest post does not show up, however all old posts are collapsed. Refresh the thread or go back to the parent board then re open the thread and all posts are now expanded even though the newest post has not been viewed yet.
re: hannaone
re: hannaone
To add - I just posted on this thread, but when I went back to it, because it showed a new post by alan barnes, I don't see my post, or alan barnes' post, and all posts are expanded for me.
re: MMRuth
Maybe it's intended to increase discussion! I didn't see the responses from kpzoo, hannaone, or soupkitten when I posted largely redundant information at 11:35. If those posts had been viewable, I could have just kept my piehole shut. This way, the post counts go up...
re: alanbarnes
I expect this is giving engineering fits since it doesn't happen with every thread or every post.
re: alanbarnes
I think it really is just a glitch/technical issue - from what I've read on this board, it's deterring a lot of people from posting/reading the boards, which would presumably reduce site hits or whatever they are called! Of course, after spending a law school course studying the Kennedy assassination, I still think Oswald did it. Not much of a conspiracy theorist.
re: MMRuth
C'mon, it was supposed to be funny. They surgically remove your soul in law school, not your sense of humor.
re: Engineering
from my screen, what we're seeing is the new flag on a post-- "oh, Jfood responded to the maltshake thread 2 minutes ago"-- then go to the thread-- all posts are collapsed and Jfood's brand new one does not show up *at all*-- we go back to the board or "my chow," check the thread, new flag is gone despite not seeing new post, click back on the thread and all posts are expanded, and Jfood's new post may or may not be there somewhere in the 100+ expanded posts. . .
am i making sense? others sharing same exp? fwiw the chances of getting to see a new post seems to go up if you don't try to look at it for 10 mins or so after it is first posted.
re: Engineering
Yes. A "new" tag appears next to a thread title. It says that the most recent post was made by userx y minutes ago. Upon opening the thread, userx's post is not yet visible. Later, upon opening the thread again, userx's post is visible--but it's mixed in with all the other (old) posts on the thread.
Generally speaking, if the thread was opened less than y minutes ago, it's a fair assumption that the viewer has seen all posts, including userx's. If the software makes this assumption, but the assumption is incorrect because of latency issues, it would produce the results we're seeing.
re: The Chowhound Team
My apologies. I assumed the new ownership came with the "television delay". Good to know it isn't exactly Hound-specific.
Posted a respone on this thread http://www.chowhound.com/topics/528681 hours ago. It is nowhere to be found. THis has been happening to me frequently lately.
re: angelo04
Generally, these things aren't taking hours -- are you sure it successfully posted? IE, that it didn't just sit and spin and never actually make it up?
Generally, even when posts aren't appearing on their various threads right away, they're still appearing in the back end immediately, and we show no posts from you today other than this one, and one on a thread about Central New Jersey steakhouses.
re: Jacquilynne
The strange part is I definiteley saw them on the thread. Went back and they disappeared. I swear I am not crazy...well maybe a little, but they did indeed post and now they are gone. In fact, I alos posted this issue on this thread regarding a "Wing Daddy" thread and that post is not visible here. So to sum it up: I have one post on the Harolds Deli Thread, one post on the wing daddy thread and 3 posts on this thread.
re: angelo04
I've noticed that if I post, and check the thread *immediately*, I see the post, but then if I go back, it's gone.
re: MMRuth
Agreed, I can attest to that as well. Sometimes they appear later and other times they don't
re: angelo04
Yep, this actually happened at the very beginning with the latency problem. It happens really infrequently though.
Like others have said, you can actually see the post and then it is gone. It happens on replies and never an OP.
re: rworange
I am not sure about the infrequency problem: This happened to me twice today and it is really getting out of hand; about the fourth time it has happened to me and it is discouraging me from replying.
For example, I posted a reply to the Librarian in her post on Cavallo Point Farley Bar in SF Board: first it wasn't there (just spun forever)..so I posted it again, and then it was definitely there when I went back to look (though the link I made wasn't)...but now it isn't there again! Very discouraging, particularly since Librarian's was a first post on a place and I really wanted to give her some response!
re: susancinsf
and now it is back again. Not sure what to think.
re: susancinsf
One of the new things within the past week ... at least for me ... is that the icon spins and spins. In the past that meant just to exit the post and re-try. Now it usually shows up so it doens't necessarily mean the post failed.
still happening. i can't see a post someone made on the "i'm a better chowhound than you. . ." thread 12 minutes ago. :( *shooting self in head*
This has improved somewhat. Most times now, I can work around the problem by reloading the page twice. Here's the drill:
Click link from board list: new post missing, old posts collapsed
Reload: new post missing, old posts expanded.
Reload again: new post visible, all posts expanded
re: ibstatguy
Are they older threads? They may be appearing on one of the other pages of your my chow page, which isn't quite sorted properly. If the thread you've replied to was started earlier than the oldest thread currently on your my chow front page, it will end up on the 2nd, or further back page.
re: Jacquilynne
you are absolutely correct; why that should be the case though since there are current postings still has me confused. thanks for the tip!
re: ibstatguy
It's just a bug. Engineering will hopefully fix it eventually, but right now, it's kind of low priority given the other more significant problems.
three times in the past hour or so I have seen an indication of a new post in an established thread on the SF Board, but when I go to click on the thread it isn't there. Most recently, the San Francisco Board says that Daveena has posted a new reply on the thread about being new to downtown Oakland and wanting lunch places to eat: but her reply isn't there when I click on the thread. VERY frustrating (particularly since I really enjoy her posts! )
re: susancinsf
The worst part of this is that it makrs the thread viewed once you go into it, so when you go back, the replies in question will be collapsed, and it's hard to find them in long threads (or remember that they were out there, sometimes!).
re: susancinsf
I no longer read threads less than a half hour old. Usually I'm waiting till the next day to read posts. An hour though is a safe waiit.
Okay, so the gremlins have a sense of humor.
There's a "new" flag indicating that rworange posted to THIS THREAD nine minutes ago. But the post isn't visible.
Thanks to the engineering folks for continuing to work on this.
It's not just the inability to see the latest post, I also can't see whether or not my post has gone through. The dialogue box will continuously load, never showing my post, until I try to post again when I'm alerted that I'm duplicating a post.
This problem has become EXTREMELY frustrating.
You look at the Board, see a thread that you have been following has a new post. You go to it and the new post is not there. You do a backspace and then retry the thread and every post opens up. Then you need to search for that one post you were hoping to read and chances are that it's still not there. And if the thread has numerous posts, this search and read takes a fair amount of time and mostly for naught.
Does Engineering have any idea when this might be fixed?
re: jfood
To make matters more difficult, there isn't necessarily just the "one post you were hoping to read." There may be several new posts that don't show up. You know about the most recent, and though it's a hassle, you can slog through a long thread to find it. But as to the other new posts, you have to read the entire thread to find them.
Frustrating indeed.
With reference to the thread linked above, 4 people have responded to the query and not one of the replies is showing on the public board. At least, not as I type this. In order to see them, I've had to access them via "My Chow." And even then, they didn't all show up right away.
Although I'm sure the Tech Team is working to solve this serious problem, it is making participation on the board extremely difficult and frustrating.
Based on what I am seeing today, this is still a problem. Any ideas when this will be fixed?

My baby is going to be a month old this wednesday and she fights sleep. It gets frustrating cause I have tried everything from her bathing, feeding, rocking her, cuddling and singing to her.

Wow! My wife and I are in the same situation; from approximately 3.5 months. She approaching 5 months now and she fights sleep and sometimes yells. We have done everything. From feeding, changing her diaper, rocking her, singing to her, playing soft music, the white noise machine, etc. She'll settle down, but once that gets old to her, she starts again and acts like she just doesnt want to sleep. And that is naptime, only. Come around night time, the same thing happens, excepts she sleeps throughout the night from about 10-12 hours. She will wake up happy. But then again, the cycle starts. If anyone has any ideas. We welcome them as the original poster.posted 10/12/2013 by TestTubeBabyDad
At 4 weeks we started our son on a bedtime routine and would rock him until he was half asleep. From the first night he's been sleeping anywhere from 6-8 hours per night. He's 11 weeks now and is so used to his routine, most nights he can be put down awake and fall asleep on his own with the womb sound maker :) good luck!posted 07/28/2013 by katiemyers721

It is a person preference, on how to raise a child. To state that a way other than yours is the 'correct' way, and another is 'wrong', is not fair and sounds elitist. For every book that says 'crying it out' is bad, there's another that says it's not. These posts should read as if they're personal opinions. There isn't a blueprint.posted 01/25/2013 by mike108
It's too bad that so many people think that crying it out is the best thing for a baby. I would recommend reading "the no cry sleep solution". It's a wonderful book. The only reason that kids fall asleep after crying it out is that they are physically and mentally exhausted. Babies cry for a reason. Just because they may not be hungry or need to be changed doesn't mean they don't need to be comforted. Letting them cry it out teaches them that you aren't there when they need you.posted 09/21/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Letting babies cry is bad for them and it is bad for your relationship with them. It actually releases a stress hormone that affects their brain. Babies cry as a way to communicate. It is your job to answer their calls! Do some research and see for yourself.posted 08/17/2012 by kristimarie88
I agree with kadrian2012... our son is six months now, but before there was no way to get him to sleep other than nursing, but I think we found his "sweet spot". Once he's fed, changed and safe in his crib, I just let him play until he really starts to fuss, then I go in there and give him his pacifier and he rolls to his side (almost on his belly, but his arm is still underneath him) and he falls asleep within minutes. When he was smaller, I used to have to put him on his side, now he does it himself. For us it was about finding the right time to intervene/give him his pacifier (right as he starts to fuss more intensely) and finding his sweet spot (on his side). Hope this helps someone!posted 07/18/2012 by jankerla

2k/XP it works.
I've tried it on 98SE & ME, iTunes crashes when I tried to upload files to iPod, and when deleting songs off iPod.

Well if you would have read the itunes webpage would have seen it only works on Windows 2000 and Windows XP. In related news, I tried it on my Playstation 2 and it didn't work…. Hmm… I wonder why…
Posted by Patrick on October 22, 2003 at 10:26 PM (CDT)
Haha, I love how they dont even mention buymusic, because everybody knows how much it sucks.

Yes, i read it on the website.
All they had to do was port code over, lazy job on the part of apple team.
Posted by Stasyna on October 22, 2003 at 11:01 PM (CDT)
No, not really. Microsoft doesn't even support Windows 98 anymore. Its at the end of its lifecycle. Thats a fact. As for ME, it just plain sucks anyways. Microsoft admitted that fact. Just upgrade to 2k or XP and get on with it.
Posted by Patrick on October 22, 2003 at 11:11 PM (CDT)
ME sucks?...
Get your hands on a beta version of ME. No dos in it, meaning: all the compatility of 98 and stability of 2k.
It doesnt even matter, the product sucks. 28mb of memory to play 1 song, woohoo. Winamp used 2mb. Yes, I know, get more ram, blah blah.
Posted by Stasyna on October 22, 2003 at 11:20 PM (CDT)
If ephpod only had CD Ripping/AAC Encoding, it would beat Itunes, hands down.

ME sucks?...
Yes, it sucks.
Posted by Bob on October 22, 2003 at 11:44 PM (CDT)
If you want seamless integration between itunes music store, your jukebox, and your iPod, you can't beat iTunes. Itunes is just a more elegant solution. You'd be hard pressed to find a FREE jukebox that rivals it. MC9 rivals it, but then again, its not free. It costs $40. And yes, Get more ram. Its really cheap. And you are comparing a jukebox all in one software to a basic mp3 player. Don't even try to tell me winamp is even half as fully featured as iTunes. Ephpod can't really compete either. As all it really does is transfer songs to your ipod. iTunes is a total music solution.
Posted by Sam on October 23, 2003 at 12:16 AM (CDT)
Thanks Sam… Sometimes I wish there were more level-headed people around here… I'm tired of people bashing iTunes for Windows, suggesting Winamp as the next-best thing, because it is a less CPU intensive player.
...ya think?! It's not music store. It's not a cd burner. It's not even a management tool. It won't seamlessly interface with your iPod—(Oh, wait. It doesn't interface at ALL). It's just a player.

"runs crisply"
I don't think that he actually used the program. It is by far the slowest program on my computer, and doesn't have that many features to slow it down. Bad programming.
Posted by Adam on October 23, 2003 at 1:49 AM (CDT)
Resource usage seems to vary. Over at Maccentral.com people have posted XP screenshots showing VERY minimal resource usage even on REALLY old PCs, like 350 Mhz P2. Perhaps there's some setting that makes the difference, or maybe Apple has an issue to track down—but don't think that iTunes HAS to use 20-30% CPU. For some it may—but not for others.
Also, there's a new version of iTunes out now. It should be in the app's auto-update soon.
Posted by Nagromme on October 23, 2003 at 2:32 AM (CDT)
Here's the thread with discussion of CPU usage, and screenshots showing low usage on bottom-end PCs:
Posted by Nagromme on October 23, 2003 at 2:37 AM (CDT)
CPU usage or not, it is still the slowest program by far. I think it has little to do with the CPU speed.
Posted by Adam on October 23, 2003 at 3:37 AM (CDT)
I dont notice any problems with speeed.
then again, i Have 512 and a 2.13GHz :P
Posted by fnarfy in j on October 23, 2003 at 6:21 AM (CDT)
i'm forced to use a pc here at work, and haven't noticed itunes to be any worse than most programs. it's a little slow to launch, but no worse than firebird/mozilla. checking the process viewer it seems that itunes is using 9mb of memory and about 5-10% of cpu.
the machine here is a dell 1.? ghz with 512 of memory, running w2k.
itunes is certainly a better experience at home on a mac.
Posted by Box on October 23, 2003 at 9:49 AM (CDT)
Works quite crisply for me, even on a 3 year old laptop with just
128MB of memory. I think Apple just has an undiagnosed software interaction someplace, that is biting all these people who report iTunes as being pathetically slow.
Posted by sward on October 24, 2003 at 10:10 AM (CDT)
iTunes is not bad but Apple does not sell CD quality music. I bought several AAC audio files and they are so so.
It seems there are no online stores which sell audio files with at least 256 kbps :(

Reviews of The Rescuers 1977
Marvelous, bloody great flood of memories just came rushing back. After taking a huge break from this Disney list, it was awesome to jump back in again.
Medusa is without a doubt one of the most underrated villains from Disney.
This is one I probably have a soft spot for from my childhood, so that makes it hard for me to make a good judgment of from any "pure" sense, but everything about this movie is a perfect delight for me. And I can't imagine too many circumstances in which a cartoon with Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor as lead mice could ever be something I wouldn't enjoy.
An absolute favourite of mine when I was young, I was utterly convinced mice did have a rescue aide society! I see it doesn't get a lot of love on Letterboxd and it baffles me, so I thought I'd give it a rewatch to see how it holds up and honestly I was just as captivated as I was when I was four.
With involvement from Wolfgang and Don Bluth (two of my favourite animators ever), I find this charming…
Engraçado que acho que esse filme, mais do que qualquer outro da Disney, talvez tenha sido o que mais marcou minha infância. As outras pessoas costumam ter Rei Leão, Aladdin, A Pequena Sereia e outros como os que marcaram. Eu também assisti esses outros filmes, mas a diferença era que eu tinha a fita VHS apenas de The Rescuers (Bernardo e Bianca) e aí, vi mais vezes. Lembro de adorar a trilha do filme e as cenas deles voando quando criança. A imaginação voava junto..
What a nice little film this was. I watched this one on a loop as a child so returning to it felt wonderful, even in contrast to my return to some of the more contemporary Disney films (Hunchback and Atlantis). Something about The Rescuers just beckons back to a different time in Disney and in animation. The songs, sung by Shelby Flint, have a nice 70s, pop folk sound and the score adds some lushness to the film. I remembered…
I decided to show The Rescuers to my kids tonight because it was on Netflix and I hadn't seen it in a long while.
In fact, I'm not sure that I ever saw the entire thing as a kid.
I was completely surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It is clearly a product of its times. You can see what seems like the influence of Ralph Bakshi in the film's earlier New York City scenes and the songs used…
Als ich den Film endlich wieder mal gesehen habe, sind gleich Kindheitserinnerungen hochgekommen und ich es sehr genossen diesen alten Film aus meiner Kindheit wieder anzusehen. Er war sehr lustig und hat mir gezeigt was Disney mal für gute Filme gemacht hat. Sehr empfehlenswert für die jüngere Generation.
I had a similar reaction to this as I did rewatching Lady & The Tramp last year - only in this case, I had never watched The Rescuers before! Like Lady & The Tramp, this is one I could see loving as a kid, but appreciating so much more now. I soaked in all the beautiful imagery and gorgeous hand-drawn animation. From the unique prologue & opening credits, I knew I was going to love this.
A young orphan Penny sends for help…
Yet another movie that I thought I had watched as a kid and this time maybe I had but I didn't remember 95% of it. It's actually quite heart warming and the two mice are absolutely charming. Sure there are some holes here and there but I found myself really wrapped in the emotion of the story. It was a desperately tragic story and even with a sorta sloppy ending sequence I loved it. The voice talents of Bernard and Bianca were really fantastic.
There's nothing flashy about 'The Rescuers'. It's rather straight forward with its adventure plot, and it's got a more dark and grimy exterior than many of the Disney films before it. However, that simplistic take is exactly what drew me in.
Bernard and Miss Bianca are very affable protagonists set out to help orphaned Penny. The humor here is very calm and we get a more unconventional soundtrack for Disney animated standards. The visuals can be particularly haunting as well.
While it probably won't be one of my favorite Disney flicks by the end of this quest, it's certainly a nice, underrated palette cleanser.

Custom-made latex fashion and latex catsuits by Latex Crazy
Recently, jumpsuits and catsuits have become my new and highly appreciated fashion avdenture. Of course, this made me come across Crazy Latex from Germany. read more
Beauty meets decadence: Eustratia Latex from Manchester
If you go searching the internet for awesome latex couture, you sooner or later will find the latex label "Eustratia", located in Manchaster and founded by Stacey Black. Her wish to create her own fashion label arose from her special taste for extraordinary costumes, unconventional clothes and latex. For Eustratia, the individual expression of the wearer is in the focus. Her style puts together the beauty of the past and the vision of the future. And this is, in my opinion, what comes clear at first glance. A tiny bit, her couture reminds me of the film classic "5th Element" – and still, the feminine shape of retro fashion shows trough.
Collection Stellar
Collection Chimera
Collection Spring / Summer 2014
Colors play a major role in the clothing lines of Eustration and in addition to the typical basics like tops, skirts and dresses Eustratia designs accessories like harnesses, gloves and belts and – of course – everything is handmade. From shiny colorful tones over to soft pastel shades and harsh black and white contrasts, Stacey plays with the color variety and the latex material like probably no one else does. The skin-tight material loses its scandalous touch and screams to get a place on the progressive fashion runways of this world.
Those of you who would like to find out more about Eustratia Latex can use the various ways of the digital worlds to get further information on Stacey Black. Next to the wonderful website of Eustratia, which also has several sale offers once in a while, her pages on the common social networks as well as her fabulous fashion blog are worth a visit

Lovely Latex Haute Couture by Brigitte More from Holland
Jade Vixen, Photo © Jerry Bennett
It gets harder and harder to find really good, outstanding alternative fashion. The internet is full of cheap corset shops and black latex fetish. Many oft he great ones I already showed to you in this column. This makes it even better that after a long time of searching I found another wonderful label from Holland. Brigitte More gives a magical and versatile second skin to every body and has a talent for taking a look beyond her own nose by using more than just rubber. Her fascination is based on the amazing metallically shimmering surface, using bright colours and decoration of feathers and studs.

Brigitte More's Lovey Latex Couture is rather a passion than only a fetish. Brigitte More has received several prizes for her creativity in making extraordinary couture and is right when saying that her pieces are exceptional. Catsuits, dresses, corsets and further pieces are amazingly feminine and made for the most sophisticated of tastes. Her aim is nothing less than the perfection of every detail of the fit and the comfort of each and every piece.
Those of you who would like to see more oft he charming pieces of the Holland-located designer should take a closer look at her website or Facebook page. Maybe, if you're a little lucky you might also find her at one oft he upcoming European fetish events, even though I personally think she actually deserves access to the runways of the big fashion shows.
Unique La Cucaracha Latex Fashion Explosion
Pictures © La Cucaracha / Thomas Burggraf
Latex rubber is commonly known as a sleek and shiny surface for your body. Skin-tight, the natural material wraps around your body just like a second skin. But: Latex can also be opulent and loud. Screaming and aggressive, while still classy and full of innoation. La Cucaracha Rubber Fashion Design from Germany shows that frills and pipings do not always have to be cheesy and old-school and that white is a colour perfect not only for clinic games. Quite contrary: With their new collection "Hellenistic Eden" the colours of white and gold are put into a new light. Kinky but elegant, and, for sure extraordinary, the beautiful clothes show that the concepts of pride, lust, wrath and envy are not at all negative. Wonderful retro-aspects mix up with enchanting detail-loving contemporary influences. A divine dream!
At La Cucaracha, wearing comfort is what the focus is put on. If possible, the designer of the label tries to rely on the stretching oft he label instead of on adding fasteners of different materials. But even former collections like "Fade into another Life" and "One of a kind" featured great cutting patterns and great entertainment. Unique creations, show pieces and costumes come from one single creative hand. La Cucaracha stands for uniqueness and specialty and I can just recommend a visit of their La Cucaracha Webseite – all of your senses will be triggered, since the charming images will not only adress your eye.
And since alternative fashion does not know any gender-related limitations, the La Cucaracha has an exciting Boylesque collection comming up. Guys who don't dare to turn their back on their butch side are perfectly right with this.
Fraeulein Ehrhardt's Fashion High Gloss Dolls by Goliath Verlag
© Fraeulein Ehrhardts High Gloss Dolls
Fräulein Ehrhardt's Latex world is playful, futuristic, colorful and supersexy. In her shiny and skin-tight latex outfits, the High Gloss Dolls look like seductive creatures from another world. From the smooth black catsuit and mega short mini skirts to silk-like stockings and brightly colorful bodies – these supernatural sirenes let the heart of all latex fashion fans beat a little faster. Here, Katja Ehrhardt has a special eye for the details with still letting her creations look effortless. Variety is never lacking and still, her designs look all classy and subtile. You can easily accuse Fräulein Ehrhardt for having a special taste for a straigth-line handwriting, which is quite unusual but appealing in times of fashion overloads. With the new possibilities in latex manufacturing, far away from the fetish-like black-and-red monotony, the glued designs are just fun and have the high quality of German and international Haute Couture. Here, it shows that Fräulein Ehrhardt has gained experience in latex manufacturing since 2006. The website, by the way, can be found HERE and for the amazing online shop, you can click this link.
Working in Hamburg, the designer has already made it to the covers of lad magazines and fashion magazines and, last but not least, Goliath Publishing dedicated a 120-page long homage to her. Next to her fashion, I would highly recommend this book to you and tell at the same time tell you, that one of those masterpieces will be given away right here for free (of course, brand new ). Fräulein Ehrhardt's High Fashion Dolls can be won in this column. Another time I try to share my love for alternative / extroverted fashion with my readers and I am looking forward to your creative comments under this entry. All commentors have the chance to win one of the Goliath published books, containing more than 200 pictures. All you have to do is write the reason why you love latex fashion (P.S. heavily fetish-focussed comments will not be activated – the focus should be on fashion). Closing date for this small competition will be September 15th 2013. The lucky winner will be informed via email and will receive the book with free shipping. Good Luck!
High Glossy Glam Fashion of William Wilde
Right at the moment I am totally into big gowns. The fact that rubber can actually be the perfect fabric for hitting the world's red carpets is not only proven by famous artists like Lady Gaga. The amazing London designer William Wilde loves details, lives for unusual fabric combinations and creates extraordinary, skin-tight glamour gowns of a very special kind. Handmade masterpieces for a great appearance, perfectly fitted on the body and produced with much love. After having studied at University of Westminster and having gained experience with bride's wear, William conquered international stages and fashionistas' hearts as a costume designer. Here, his mix of materials is simply unique and wild. Sequins meet stretching clothes as well as lace and silk. William Wild is confident with the art of fabric mixing like no one else. For me as a detail fetishist all four collections are simply gorgeous. Quality and variety are more important than ever in times of cheap online shopping facilities.
While the collection "Through with Love" shows retro-inspired lace-negligés and printed slik evening dresses showed an irresistible touch of luxury, the new collection "Filthy Wilde" convinces fashion fans with Egyptian inspired exotic, excess and dramatic deco decadence, made of silk, shiny rhinestones, feathers and, of course, the beloved rubber. William Wilde wants it all. The little black dress is perfectly put into light just as the incredibly wonderful gowns in shiny sequins are. William's customers, among others, are Rihanna, Tori Amos, Paloma Faith and Kelly Brook… But you can also feel the taste of his collections on your skin. Take a look at his website and follow his Blog to keep an eye on his work and find the perfect outfit for video productions, red carpets, events or just a perfect night out. Personally, I found a new MUST HAVE fashion label…
BoomBastic Rubber Outfits from Asmodena Hamburg
It doesn't always have to be overseas, sometimes true boombastic masterpieces are just around the corner. Well, my next visit in Hamburg will definitely take me to Boombastic Rubber. A latex fashion label by Asmodena, who prefers simple elegance without losing focus for the details. It doesn't always have to be pompous and squiggly, but classic elegance with special little highlights manage to enchant everybody by the first minute. For already quite a long time I have followed Boombastic Rubber on Facebook, but right now it is about time to introduce this Northern German pearl of latex manufacturing to you. Boombastic Rubber loves to custom-create this second skin right on the body of curvy women. There is nothing worse in wearing latex outfits than a bad fit, but often enough Size Zero papercuts just give us a hard time. Asmodena from Boombastic Rubber has the right medicine for this: She offers you a lot of passion for the details, a lot of wearing comfort and an amazing quality with a wide variety in colors, just to put the most important curves into perfect light.
The pieces of the amazing latex clothing line can be individualized by personal wish and in contrast to the designers that offer hand-me-down fashion Asmodena is happy about individual ideas and gives some advice for finding the right color and cut. Girls with a curvy figure who like to try some latex fashion can't avoid Boombastic Rubber. You can admire the timeless chic of her amazing fashion at German Fetisch Ball – A decade of decadence – 2013 in Berlin. But let me just tell you one thing: You will catch a glimpse at some wonderful and unknown latex creations and of course, there will be the possibility to talk about some custom-made latex dreams. Those of you who cannot make it at whitsun weekend on May 17th – 20th (just like me, since London Burlesque Festival calls) should take a look at their website – but be careful: You might fall in love

Candylicious Latexfashion by Bellatrixx Capella
Germany moves towards October season and my fashion thoughts are only about German Trachten fashion. The happier we can be about a little break. I mean, this burlesque and alternative fashion magazine is supposed to remain as colorful as fashion reality itself. Here, latex always belongs to the first choice when it comes to researching new topics and of course I didn't have to go far to find another great designer who offers a great collection with many bright colors and much passion for the details. Bellatrixx Capalla produces lovely, handmade, candy-like wrappings since 2011 in the United Kingdom. Take a look at the other Latexlabels too

Collective Chaos Latex – between Lace and Latex
Chaos is a state of confusion or disorder says Wikipedia and so chaos is the initial basis of order, structure and every development in the world. Grounded on this finding it is no surprise when a fashion manufactory give itself the name of "Collective Chaos". The American latex label enthuses with feathers, lace and, of course, latex. Here, Creative Chaos is not afraid of using wild color and unique design variations and puts value on high quality. Collective Chaos once again proves that latex fashion is not only made for fetish lovers. The combination of see-through lace materials in a lovely vintage look and retro cuts with colorful latex alone will thrill you at first glance.
This combination of fantastic light lace and tight latex is perfect for people like me, because wearing this stuff at events really makes you sweat – well, at least this applies to me, when I wear latex couture for a couple of hours. However Collective Chaos Latex does not limit itself to only latex and lace. Bright colorful feather combinations, braided masterpieces and hand-glued designs make Collective Chaos Latex one of the most extraordinary latex manufacturers. And every design is carried by a touch of vintage and retro. Those who like to find out more about this amazing label should definitely visit the Online Shop of Collective Chaos or the Blog.

And because it's always about inventing yourself completely new, Pandora Deluxe offers quite an extraordinary clothing line in 2012 and, to be honest with you, this was the reason why I would like to add this label to my small collection of the most amazing burlesque and latex labels.

When Cindy and Bill were seeking out a wedding date, their eyes stopped at one particular box on the calender.
"Wait, July 7th, that's going to be 7-7-07" said Cindy Speer, a Charlottesville bride to be.
What a perfect time to ring those wedding bells
"It couldn't hurt" said Speer.
And with thousands of other love struck couples with the same feeling, florists, bakers, wedding gown designers and of course those actually conducting the ceremony, are kicking it into high gear.
Reverend Claire Goodman sees about a dozen couples a month and tomorrow.
"I'm sure more than two dozen inquiries just for that date obviously I couldn't do them all" said Goodman.
The number, lucky or not, isn't taking any stress off Cindy.
"Ha, no I don't think it makes me more at ease" said Speer.
And as for the groom to be, Bill.
"It makes it a lot easier for me to remember my anniversary" said Bill Maissannes, the groom to be.

What are SEP IRAs?
A simplified employee pension plan (SEP) is a deferred-compensation arrangement that is similar to a profit-sharing plan. It can be set up by employers and self-employed individuals, as well as sole proprietorships and partnerships. Employers receive tax deductions for plan contributions made to employees' accounts, and employees do not pay taxes on SEP contributions until they begin taking distributions (generally, in retirement).
Thus, SEPs can be attractive to both the employer and the employee.

Why do people buy annuities?
Annuities are insurance-based financial vehicles that can provide many benefits sought by retirement-minded investors. There are a number of reasons why people buy annuities.
Deferral of taxes is a big benefit, and so is the ability to put large sums of money into an annuity — more than is allowed annually in a 401(k) plan or an IRA — all at once or over a period of time. Annuities offer flexible payout options that can help retirees meet their cash-flow needs. They also offer a death benefit; generally, if the contract owner or annuitant dies before the annuitization stage, the beneficiary will receive a death benefit at least equal to the net premiums paid.
- Written by Charles Sims Jr., CFP
What are the basic types of life insurance?
One of the best ways to protect against the financial consequences of a primary wage earner's premature death is life insurance. However, only about 6 out of 10 Americans actually own life insurance and half believe they do not have enough. However, choosing from the many types of life insurance policies that are available can be a difficult process. A few main categories are described here to help you search for a life insurance policy that is appropriate for you.
Keep in mind that the cost and availability of insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Before implementing a strategy involving insurance, it would be prudent to make sure that you are insurable.
Term life insurance
Term life insurance is the most basic and usually the most affordable. Policies can be purchased for a specified period of time. If you die within the time period defined in your policy, the insurance company will pay your beneficiaries the face value of your policy.
Policies can usually be bought for one- to 30-year time spans. Annual renewable term insurance usually can be renewed every year without proof of insurability, but the premium may increase with each renewal. Term insurance is useful if you can afford only a low-cost option or you need life insurance only for a certain amount of time (such as until your children graduate from college).
Permanent life insurance
The other major category is permanent life insurance. You pay a premium for as long as you live, and a benefit will be paid to your beneficiaries upon your death. Permanent life insurance typically comes with a "cash value" savings element. There are three main types of permanent life insurance: whole, universal, and variable.
Whole life insurance. This type of permanent life insurance has a premium that stays the same throughout the life of the policy. Although the premiums may seem higher than the risk of death in the early years, they can accumulate cash value and are invested in the company's general investment portfolio. You may be able to borrow funds from the cash value or surrender your policy for its face value, if necessary.
Access to cash values through borrowing or partial surrenders can reduce the policy's cash value and death benefit, increase the chance that the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death of the insured. Additional out-of-pocket payments may be needed if actual dividends or investment returns decrease, if you withdraw policy values, if you take out a loan, or if current charges increase.
Universal life insurance. Universal life coverage goes one step further. You have the same type of coverage and cash value as you would with whole life, but with greater flexibility. Once money has accumulated in your cash-value account, you may be able to vary the frequency, as well as the amount, of your premiums. In fact, it may be possible to structure the policy so that the invested cash value eventually covers your premium costs completely. Of course, it's important to remember that altering your premiums may decrease the value of the death benefit.
Variable life insurance. With variable life insurance, you receive the same death protection as with other types of permanent life insurance, but you are given control over how your cash value is invested. You have the option of investing your cash value in stocks, bonds, or money market funds. The value of your policy has the potential to grow more quickly, but there is also more risk. If your investments do not perform well, your cash value and the death benefit may decrease. However, some policies provide a guarantee that your death benefit will not fall below a certain level. The premiums for this type of insurance are fixed and you cannot change them in relation to the size of your cash-value account.
Variable universal life is another type of variable life insurance. It combines the features of variable and universal life insurance, giving you the investment options as well as the ability to adjust your premiums and death benefit.
Variable life and variable universal life are sold by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing.
The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the variable life or variable universal life insurance policy and the underlying investment options, can be obtained from your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

The business of tipping
A huge part of a restaurant's success is the ability to maintain great wait staff. This becomes a major challenge when customers do not adequately compensate the waiters.
In some states, waiters are paid a base salary that is a fraction of minimum wage, with the expectation that tips or gratuity will make up the difference. The lack of appropriate tipping is the primary reason excellent waiters move on to better-paying gigs. Soon after great staff leaves, the service begins to suffer and customers wonder why.
So many situations call for tipping that it is easy to become confused. Sit-down restaurants, buffets, bars and hair salons are only a few of the locations where tipping is not only desired but expected. Tipping is considered a part of etiquette, according to the experts at the Emily Post Institute. How much to tip and how often are the questions that perplex many.

'Mr. Gotti the Restaurateur'
As a foodie, I enjoy experiencing new restaurants, concepts, dishes and atmospheres. Memphis has a winner in the Privé Restaurant, thanks to Mario Mims, aka Yo Gotti. Privé is French for private and the Privé Restaurant can only be described as incredible dining.
Hailing from North Memphis, Gotti, embraces his background and upbringing in his recordings and music. Rapping since the age of 14, he has come a long way. One of his most popular mainstream songs is "5 Star Chick" and Privé has all the elements of a 5-star restaurant.

Retirement plan distributions
When it comes to receiving the fruits of your labor – the money accumulated in your employer-sponsored retirement plan – you are faced with a few broad options. Should you take the payout as systematic payments, a lifetime annuity, or a lump sum?
Systematic withdrawals
Some retirement plans may allow you to take systematic withdrawals: either a fixed dollar amount on a regular schedule, a specific percentage of the account value on a regular schedule, or the total value of the account in equal distributions over a specified period of time.

A new chapter for retirement
John F. Kennedy once said, "Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." This is certainly true of preparing for retirement. If we continue to expect that the ways of the past will see us through to our futures, we will be left behind. The methods that helped prepare us for retirement are quickly disappearing, and we must start using others.
Today's companies are rewriting the retirement rules for working Americans. Traditional pension plans, which gained prominence in the 20th century, are rapidly disappearing because of the high costs involved in funding them. Some corporations are defaulting on their plans, and an increasing number
of companies have underfunded or at-risk plans.

Arthur's Catering. He has clients in Memphis, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Arkansas, Louisiana and Dallas.
"I enjoy catering much better and always wanted to be a chef," said Robinson, 28.

Drafted Lyrics - Camel
Nude's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. The postman muttered something about wishing he could go too and handed over a yellow envelope.
It was a command long overdue that called for healthy, young men.
In reply to your request,
please find...
I hereby protest.
To the ways and means you use
you know...
I cannot refuse.
So I'll take this vow
of Loyalty.
Fight for the right,
You have said,
To be free.
When this time has run its course,
I must...
Live without remorse.
For the deeds I'm bound to do,
I know...
it's all the same to you.
But I won't forget
the memory...
Taking a life,
for a life...
to be free.

Jon Gosselin to Appear on Good Morning America, Bash TLC For "Exploiting" Kidsby Free Britney at . Comments
Jon Gosselin is finally ready to break his silence.
In a formal, sit-down interview, that is. Lord knows that guy runs his mouth to celebrity gossip tabloids pretty much 24-7, resulting in more inopportune sound bites and contradictory statements than you can even keep track of.
Good Morning America scored the first post-divorce interview with the nation's most eligible d-bag bachelor. On Friday, Jon sat down with GMA to talk about ex Kate Gosselin, the network that started it all (TLC) and his future career.
In her recent media tour, Kate Gosselin has remained fairly neutral, or at least just let the softballs sail past her whenever she's asked about Jon.
Will America's biggest player do the same?
A source on set during the taping tells E! that Gosselin was "very open and honest" about his feelings toward Kate and the future of Jon & Kate Plus 8:
"TLC has had him on a gag order and he's sick of it ... Jon basically comes right out and says he's worried the show is exploiting his eight children."
Okay, so he's sick of the cameras following his eight kids around, but that doesn't mean the King of Pimps, who hosted a Las Vegas pool party packed with scantily-clad babes Saturday, is ready to leave the spotlight himself.
"Jon says he doesn't see himself as a celebrity, but because the public now does, it makes it hard to go back to a normal life and a normal job," says the source.
"He wants to stay in the TV industry, and he has a lot of ideas."
Naturally, when Jon got wind of this E! News report, he got on the horn and said the complete opposite: "I'm not saying TLC is exploiting my children."
"I have said on numerous occasions TLC has afforded my kids a better life and provided a better roof on their heads," the lover of Hailey Glassman adds.
He did say that "What I do believe is the media and tabloids covering my family and the show for their own financial gain are the ones exploiting them."
The interview is scheduled to air in the next week.
Oops...Jon. If he's even desreving of a name, especially Dad.
John Gosselin is an enormous asshole, made possible by Kate's invisible dick (haha sorry, they're equally deserving of the hell given to them by reality TV). They made that decision together to exploit their children. It's called karma, bitch.
He said it"I am still young and want to live my life". Yes after all the hard work that Kate has put forth in spite of him. She works so hard and I cannot imagine the work it must take for her to travel and still be an amazing mother. His only time to take care of the children is when Kate was away on a trip and boy does he pout about it. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he got half custody of the children and he and his girfriend had to take them half of the time... I wonder how long that relationship would last. Kate is strong and she needed to be for the sake of so many children. They will be able to go to college and live very well. She made lemonade out of lemons. I hope she finds her soulmate someone that will have the same strength and not a whinny jon.
Jon is a whore-dog, running with all those women one after another, it will be nice to see him have to pay child support for all those kids....he'll need a good paying job thats for sure. He hates the show and lime-light but he makes sure he makes his commnets to the camera, deep down he loves it, why he talks to the camera. I know Kate must have been a bear to live with at times with her control problems but didn't he have any go-nads to speak up to her & shut her up.....no, he takes it, and nows cries about it. I think the kids are doing fine thru all this, they have a great life going places and seeing things. I do think he loves his kid but what will they say when they realize he left Kate and was with another woman the same night.
It is awful that their private lives are being played out in the media. I now feel sorry for Kate, she cannot hate Jon because her children are a spitting images of him. I am sure if she feels hate toward him she probably has a hard time not showing it toward the 8 kids.
You all need help. They were doing the best they could until Jon had to be house husband. Women are put in that position all the time. I've lost any respect I had for him. Gooooooo Kate +8.
Hailey is a t.rt, Jon is a weirdo, Hailey puts out for every Tom, Dick and Happy, Jon is a fame whore, perfect combination if I must say. Hailey and Jon Loser deserves each other
My opinion about Jon. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. (Sow is a female pig.) When Kate married him, who knew he couldn't keep it in his pants.
it's past due to let this train wreck alone. If (we) everybody continue to say anything about this family then this family and all the crap will stay in the headlines. Let it die and stop acting like jon or kate are news worthly. They are not. Never were,...John Q Public made it so and John Q Public can stop it.
No one knows the truth about Jon and I, and never will. So you all can get bent!

METARIE, La. - The Coast Guard has announced that the cap that will be used to contain the Gulf oil spill will be lowered "in next couple of hours."
Around 10:15 a.m. Thursday, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said that BP had successfully sliced off a pipe in an effort to contain the Gulf oil, but the cut is irregular and placing a cap over the spill will be more challenging. The Coast Guard says they're unsure as to exactly why the diamond-tipped saw failed.
This is BP's latest attempt to contain the oil. The best chance to plug the leak is still two months away.
WINK News will bring you additional details on the containment effort as soon as they become available.
White House: Obama to return to Gulf Coast Friday
The White House says President Barack Obama will return to the Louisiana Gulf Coast Friday to assess the latest efforts to counter the largest oil spill in U.S. history.
This will be Obama's third trip to the region since the April 20 accident that started the spewing of oil in the area, and it's his second visit in a week.
The incident is now considered the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The White House says more details on Friday's trip will be released later in the day.


text: Pete Sessions Pushes Border Security in House Majority Leader Race Print article Send a Tip by Charlie Spiering 12 Jun 2014 post a comment As Republican House members filed into the basement meeting room to say goodbye to Eric Cantor, they pushed past reporters in the packed hallway, largely ignoring shouted questions about the race for Republican Majority Leader. But Texas Representative Pete Sessions strode up to the cameras and explained why he was the best candidate. "There he goes," one House member muttered as he witnessed the scene. Other congressmen in the hall chuckled in response. Sessions couldn't have made it any clearer why he was running: to send a message to the White House on immigration reform. For Sessions it was likely a clear conclusion from Cantor's loss. The anti-amnesty critics faulted Cantor for vowing to work with the Obama administration on immigration reform, and Cantor lost his primary. "I think this administration needs to be prodded and reminded that the entire sovereignty of the United States is at risk if we do not secure our border--north, south, east, and west," Sessions told reporters. "The things which are occurring at our border must be stopped and must be controlled before we do anything else that encourages people to come here." Sessions just recently beat a Tea Party challenger in his own primary who campaigned against him for his immigration stance. Katrina Pierson, who was endorsed by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, challenged Sessions for endorsing "a guest worker program," which would allow illegal immigrants to obtain legal status. "Border security, border security, and border security," he told Washington Post reporter Robert Costa in an interview on his run in the race for House leadership.

Could Handspring Redefine the Smart Phone?
Handspring made its early mark with a better Palm PDA that incorporated an innovative slot for removable add-in devices. These days, the company (which looks to become part of Palm this fall) has hitched its wagon to smart-phone and PDA combinations, focusing primarily on the Treo line.
We got to take an early prototype of the Treo 600 for a test run. The hardware was close to the final version, but much of the software still needed tweaking. Still, after about a day of using the device for Web browsing, e-mailing, making phone calls, and taking pictures, we came away impressed. Handspring seems poised to reset the standard for integrated data/voice devices yet again.

This is the book I was waiting for. It provides a broad and accessible theory of the commons, uncluttered with side arguments. It is direct, unapologetic, and tempered with hope.

Download / Buy
Berrett-Koehler is publishing Capitalism 3.0 under a Creative Commons license. That license allows reproduction for non-commercial purposes without permission. So you can download the book for free, read it, share it with friends, even print it and hand it out on street corners if you want. What you can't do is sell it, or create a derivative work from it.
This raises an obvious question. The printed book costs $22.95 at most bookstores, and $15.61 at Amazon.com. Those prices aren't prohibitive, but they're a notch or two greater than zero. So should you buy the book in the usual way, or download it for free with a mouse click?
There are several factors to consider here. The liberation of words from paper, like the liberation of music from vinyl, allows for easy dissemination of creative works. This is a potential boon for readers, but a potential problem for publishers and creators. If all books were downloaded without payment, publishers would go out of business, and authors would have a hard time eating. On the other hand, ideas would circulate a bit more freely.
As the author, here's what I hope will happen. I hope many of you will download and skim the book. If you're intrigued, you'll decide you want to read the book carefully, give a copy to a friend, or keep it on your bookshelf or coffee table. So you'll go to your local bookstore, or to an on-line vendor, and buy the handy, long-lasting version, printed on acid-free paper.
If you're a teacher, you might buy the book yourself and assign a chapter or two to your students. Your students could then download and print the assigned chapters without violating the author's copyright.
In any case, I invite you to peruse the downloadable version, and if you're so moved, engage in a commercial transaction that microscopically boosts GDP.
