I.O.D.E. War Memorial outside Memorial Park Library
I'm a little late with this post. We were in the throes of preparing for our Historic Calgary Week presentation "A Calgary Soldier's Story" which we delivered successfully (whew!) at beautiful Memorial Park Library last night. We told the story of Joseph A. Convery, an Irish immigrant who came to Calgary from Belfast at the age of 16 and made a success in his farming endeavours, which allowed him to bring his parents and sister to live with him. He was a brave young man who, possibly sensing that the war was coming, joined the 15th Light Horse, a militia unit in Calgary, became a Lieutenant, and then enlisted in the CEF. His bravery and daring (how else would you describe a man who came alone to the barren prairie at 16) led him to the Royal Flying Corps, those Knights of the Air, who were so important to the success of the forces in Europe. Sadly, he lost his life when his plane went down near Arras just before the last major German offensive of the war.
As usual I learned a lot about many different things when I was researching this gentleman. I found out about the Canadians in the RFC/RAF, whose fearlessness allowed them to climb into these canvas and wood crates and fly over enemy territory, sussing out the lay of the land and dropping bombs from the cockpit. Some of the great men of Canadian history passed through the RFC/RAF including Roland Michener, Lester B. Pearson, Kenneth Irving, and other men of note. This fact leads me to wondering what would have become of our intrepid Irishman had he survived the war.
Joseph's story was just one of many and I was honoured to be able to bring it to life and share it with everyone. Our history (and I know I harp on this, forgive me) is the history of people just like Joseph Convery, who came and made something of himself and the offered all that to the defense of his adopted home. It is the story of people like Joseph that is the story of this country – the pioneers who came and stayed, even though the weather sucks and the animals will kill you. We are something else, aren't we?

Actually, Historic Calgary Week starts Friday, but I wanted to let everyone know ahead of time so you can get it in your calendars. The theme this year is Reflect and Remember, as this is the centenary of the outbreak of World War I. There will be a plethora of history programs with some of our very best historians filling you in on all kinds of history, not just that of Calgary in wartime. There are genealogy related programs, building history programs, walking tours, a ghost tour, cemetery walking tours, a tour of the Beltline with particular reference to the gay history of that area, a look at some of Calgary's heroes and heroines, and, well, just too much good stuff to list here. Check out the brochure at the Chinook Country Historic Society website.
As our contribution to Historic Calgary Week, Carolyn and I will be doing a presentation called "A Calgary Soldier's Story" which looks at the life of a young Irish immigrant, who came west to make a life for himself and his family. When war came he didn't hesitate to answer the call. We will also look at the history of his house, which still stands on Memorial Drive. His story is unique, but it is also the story of many young men from this city who joined up when his country went to war.
I.O.D.E. War Memorial outside of Calgary Public Library
The week kicks off this Friday, July 25, with the publication of the humongous historic Calgary crossword puzzle by Jennifer Prest in the Calgary Herald. The paper will also include a list of the week's programs. If you miss the puzzle in the paper, you can download it from the Chinook Country Historical Society's website.
One glance at the list of programs and you will see that history is about more than just bricks and mortar. Calgary is a city rich with stories, and this week is our chance to hear just a few of them.
Calgary, looking along Memorial Drive, showing the new, modern LRT
What do the Avro Arrow, the Canadian Pacific Railway, Pearson Airport and the C-Train have in common? They are all on the list of 10 Triumphs of Canadian Transportation as chosen by the Transport Association of Canada in honour of its 100th anniversary. At least two of the above are resounding successes (sorry Pearson) and both the Railway and the C-Train have had a huge impact on our city.
The coming of the railway to Calgary is a pivotal point in the city's history. Becoming the hub of the rail system west of Winnipeg insured that Calgary would be a "big city". It was the starting point for settlement and was also the place where those settlers came to pick up their goods and machinery and deliver their products. This started the first of the city's great population booms. Without the railway, we would not be the city we are today. The railway was so important to the people settled around what would become Calgary that when the location of the station was announced, folks packed up their homes and moved them to be closer to what was going to be the centre of the town.
The Imperial Limited arriving at Calgary
The C-Train also changed the landscape of our city. I remember when we got around the city on electric trolley buses. While great, they did not allow for rapid movement so commutes could be nightmarish (especially in the winter, when the slip-sliding trolleys would lose their contact with the overhead lines on a frighteningly regular basis). We became a city of cars, but not, sadly, of roads that could handle them. Rush hour was sometimes traumatizing – more than once a commuter, trapped in his or her vehicle in unmoving traffic, leapt from their car in a claustrophobic panic. The coming of the C-Train, fraught as it was with conflict, allowed us to move further and further away from the core (for good or ill) and has allowed the city to grow to over a million people. The C-Train just came to my neighbourhood and I am in total agreement with the Transport Association of Canada that it is a triumph (but that's just my personal opinion)
Streetcar accident at the corner of 14th St and 17th Ave SW, 1919
The Community Heritage and Family History department has a lovely collection of early transportation images online as well as an outstanding collection of books and other documents about the history of both the railway and the transit system in Calgary. One of the newest books we have on how the railway could have shaped Calgary, had we followed their plan, is Development Derailed by Max Foran. Copies are available in the Local History room as well as in the general collection.
1977 Stampede Poster from our Collection
Stampede time is upon us once again. The Parade went off without a hitch (at least I think it did) and we are now all kitted up in our very best cowboy gear. I love this time of year! Stephen Avenue is alive with visitors and weekend cowboys (and some real cowboys, too). There are buskers and vendors and food trucks and it is all being enjoyed by people from all over the world. They are here to partake of Calgary's unique personality as dazzling urbanite meets small town prairie good old boy. Yahoo, dawg.
1923 Stampede Poster from our Collection
Things were not much different 100 years ago. In early July of 1914 the Industrial Exhibition was under way. There were 7000 entries, surpassing the previous year's numbers by nearly 2000. Over 700 babies were entered in the baby show (yes, that's what I said) and the Tuesday of the exhibition was "Better Babies" day. There were interesting performances, including an acrobatic troupe, an aeronaut who dropped a bomb from his balloon which, when exploded, "emits the aeronaut" and the "greatest number of musicians in the assembled bands that have ever appeared." The papers listed the all the winners of the competitions, see this link for a list of the winning chickens Right alongside the half page spread of prize poultry was an ad for shares in the Turner Valley Oil Company Ltd. ($1.00 a pop – a lot less than you'd pay for a prize hen) In fact, the newspaper was filled with advertisements for oil companies, punctuated with prize lists and race results. For the first time, oil derricks were set up around the grounds, primarily as advertisements for the companies drilling in the area. Salesmen were on hand to convince fairgoers that this was their chance to make it big. "Oil offices sprung up like magic and frantic representatives of the up town magnates were this morning dashing about in advanced state of frenzy, vainly attempting to get carpenters to do a dozen things at once." Then, as now, the two worlds of Calgary existed side by side.
While our collection doesn't hold much about the 1914 Industrial exhibition, we do have an extensive collection of Stampede memorabilia including postcards, programmes, reports and posters, as evidenced by the two that grace this posting. The Stampede Archives has the poster for the 1914 exhibition and it eloquently sums up the two sides of this city; the fashionably clad young lady, with her equally fashionable collie, gazing lovingly at her prize winning horse. Need I say more.
1914 Calgary Industrial Exhibition from Calgary Stampede Archives
The Calgary Stampede Archives is a treasure trove of information about and images of the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. Check out their wonderful collection to see more.
At the Summit of the Rockies, 1908
I was digging around the University of Alberta Press site looking for a particular book, when I happened on the Atlas of Alberta Railways Online, a resource that lit up the heart of this railroad junkie. This resouce includes tons of information and pictures and documents about the history of railways in Alberta (hence the name, I suppose). I hate to admit my ignorance, but it looks like this site has been up for years and I have never used it. It is much more than a traditional atlas because, in addition to maps, there are photos and documents, plans (such as the plan of the typical prairie grain elevator) and news clippings.
There are also essays on the history of the railways and bits and pieces of interesting trivia. For example, did you know that many of the men who laid the tracks on the Calgary to Edmonton railway were of Scandinavian origins and that they could earn up to $3.50 a day? Well, according to the Edmonton Bulletin of September 1, 1883, them's the facts!
Four Engines Driving a Passenger Train to the Summit
We have a great collection of railway stuff in the Local History collection at the Central Library as well. We have photos and postcards, which you can see in the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library but we also have a lot of ephemera, which is just a fancy name for the kind of things you generally throw away once you've finished using them. This includes menus, brochures, timetables and other promotional material.
The collection also has personal stories of people who worked on the railway, original documents relating to the railways in Canada and Alberta, like some of Sanford Fleming's reports and other really interesting works on railroads. This is a great resource for railway nerds, but it can also be a goldmine for genealogists as well.
Promotional material, pictures, settler's guides (like the one shown below) were published by the railways to encourage and aid settlers on the Prairies. Adding this information into a family history would give rich detail to your family's story and lead to a greater understanding of the motivations and expectations of prairie settlers.

Going on a tailor-made holiday to Australia is the perfect way to explore the country and take in all the sights that you dream of seeing, whether its an adventure drive into the outback or Blue Mountains, the glamour of Sydney Harbour or the relaxation of Bondi beach.
We can take care of every aspect of your tour of Australia, including flights, hotels, transfers, motorhome hire and excursions to make the most of your trip.
Australia is such a vast country that many campers prefer to pick one area that appeals to them and then plan an itinerary there. However if you are keen to spend a bit more time in the country and want to explore further afield, it may be more economical to leave the motorhome behind and use the aeroplane or train to travel to different areas of the country. You can then hire another motorhome to continue with the journey. Here are some of the areas you may want to consider travelling to:
Coastal Paradise
Australia's Great Ocean Road gives an insight into the incredible coastal variation - from pristine beaches to steep cliffs; and from city sunrises to Indian Ocean sunsets.
Raw Outback
The central Northern Territory boasts raw nature, vast vistas and incredible sights. Australia's outback is home to them all with the world-famous Uluru at its centre. Go walkabout to find deafening silence, a sky studded with more stars than you've ever seen before, and a chance to learn more about Australia's Aboriginal history. The outback will allow you to get closer to nature than you ever thought possible.
Underwater Magic
Travel along the east coast and stay in the world's oldest living rainforest, where you can snorkel in crystal waters with the most colourful display of marine life you're ever likely to see.
Being experts in worldwide travel, we regularly travel with airlines, visit hotels and see the campsites for ourselves so that they meet member's exact standards and are the best available. Each of our Australia travel specialists is trained to know the country inside out and can give you first-hand advice on what to see and where to go.
Booking with us ensures that your holiday is protected by both ABTA and ATOL, plus at The Camping and Caravanning Club we make sure that you are cared for every step of the way, especially in unforeseeable circumstances.
To tell us about what you would like to see, call us now on 0845 601 0905 or 024 7647 5340.
To help you with planning your own individual holiday in Australia, below are some example routes to inspire you.

I was on a trip down to DC over the last weekend to visit my mom and on the bus down I got asked a question that I should know the answer to. Why do I write ?
Now, I have had to answer that question multiple times on job interviews but there are boiler plate answers that one gives on interviews that somehow are not quite satisfying when you are answering yourself. George Orwell's article on why he wrote being an excellent source of excepts on the right hing to say when asked why you write.
My dilemma was made all the more complicated by the fact that the person who asked me the question was a wee six year old girl who had found herself sharing a seat with me on the three hour bus ride from Philly.
Curious as all children are, she found it crazy that rather than an iPad, I had a journal and a pen. The look of incredulity on her face when I told her that I was writing just because rather than because I had homework turned to one of suspicion when I failed to elaborate beyond "just because". In the end her mother just told her to be quiet and "leave the nice young man alone".
Her question though stuck with me so I though I would ask you. If you had to explain it to a wee child, why is it that you write ?Tweet

How to Run a 200M Dash
Does your coach want you to run the 200m dash, but doesn't spend anytime practicing it? If so, you've come to the right place.
1First off, you need to know how long 200 meters is. On a 400 meter track, is 1/2 a lap, so you'll be starting on a curve.Ad
2Set your blocks so you're comfortable, if you decide to use them.
- If you don't want to use blocks, make sure you don't have to!
3When your blocks are set, you have to adjust them to the curve. This means the blocks won't be in a straight line, but diagonal.
- Different lanes have different curve angles. Lane one has one of the tightest turns, while lanes 7 and 8 have very wide turns.
- The 200m dash uses a staggered start, so all the runners will not be on the same line. Once you find your line, place your blocks and perform step 3.
4Listen for your commands.
- There are generally 4 commands: stand in your lanes, runners to your marks, set, and then the gun.
- When the starter says stand in your lanes, relax, and if you have a little ritual, do it now.
- When the starter gives the next command, get down into a ready position, and relax.
- When the starter gives the set command, take a deep breath, raise your butt into the air and wait for the gun.
5When the gun fires, fire out low. This means you should not be running standing straight up 10m into the race.
6While starting, listen for a second shot from the gun. This signals someone has false started, so runners must return to their starting spots.
- What happens with the runner who false started depends on the league and type of meet. Some leagues issue a warning the first time to the runner. Some leagues issue a warning to the entire field, and some leagues have it that the runner is disqualified on the first offense, so check to make sure.
7Take deep breaths every 10-15m, unless you really need air, then breath normally.
8At the finish line, lean forward so you get a better time. This can mean the difference between 1st and 2nd, and who wants to lose a race by .1 millisecond second, honestly.Ad
We could really use your help!
cleaning clothes?
estate planning?
- Take long strides to cover more ground.
- Try and run on your toes.
- This is a fast race, so you have to run fast.
- Good form is essential.
- Don't run flat footed. It slows you down and you're more prone to shin splints.
Things You'll Need
- Starting Blocks (optional)
- Track Spikes(recommended)/tennis shoes

Way back in the late part of last week, Iman Shumpert was in this year's dunk contest. Those were different times, more dangerous times, the kind of times that can really try a man. We all did some things back then that we regret, but that's what we had to do to survive…
But anyways, back when he was in the contest and not injured, the thinking went that since he'd have Jeremy Lin throwing him passes and fans were in charge of determining this year's winner, that Iman Shumpert was a dunk contest force to be reckoned with. That's probably part of the reason Vegas had him as the favorite to take home the prestigious crown.
And when you hear what he had planned, you realize that this contest was over before it started. From the New York Post:
Knicks rookie guard Iman Shumpert, who officially pulled out of the Slam Dunk contest yesterday because of tendinitis in his knee, admitted to The Post he had a "Linsane'' trick up his sleeve.
Yes, he and Jeremy Lin had talked about doing a dunk in which Shumpert would vault over a couch — the symbol of Lin's humble sleeping conditions.
"He was going to help me out,'' Shumpert told The Post. "Once my knee was so sore, I started thinking about it: 'Am I going to be able to jump over the couch?' All kinds of things to think about.''
Of course this was going to happen. You could have predicted as much, and Skeets did. Still a pretty funny idea though.
That being said, as much as we all would have loved to have seen this happen and would have had hearty laughs when Jeremy Lin and the couch was wheeled out and a choir was singing the intro to "The Big Comfy Couch," Shump dropping out is better for the dunk contest. If fans are voting and they see Jeremy Lin lying on a couch, getting jumped over, there's no way Iman Shumpert would lose. It'd be the Blake Griffin-over-a-car thing all over again, where the
best most notable stunt and the biggest name (even if that name is just an assistant) is guaranteed a win. DeMar DeRozan knows what I'm talking about.
I'm sure it would have been hilarious to see this actually happen — and it's so silly that it just might have looped around to being awesome — but Jeremy Evans replacing the Shumpert-Lin tag team is for the best. I'd much rather see three awesome dunks by one of the best leapers than a guy jumping over a famous couch.
Besides, there's a scar on my forehead from when I was younger and tried to jump from couch arm to couch arm, and I don't want Iman Shumpert to have to deal with that. This not happening is better for everyone involved.

Planet Rock challenges novice and experienced climbers alike to discover the depth of their willpower reservoirs. Towering as high as five stories tall, the ever-changing climbing walls offer climbers a sense of adrenaline-pumping accomplishment and allow short folks to finally see what grows on top of the human head. And to help climbers reach these great heights, a team of experienced instructors lead free-climb programs, summer camps for kids ages 4 and older, and classes for those of all ages.
But it's not all rock climbing, lead climbing, and bouldering. At the Madison Heights location, the altitude addicts have debuted an aerial silks program, in which they teach students to scale up and slide down long, flowing silks—an activity that can improve the balance and strengthen the core of any participant. The instructors also work one-on-one with climbers who have special needs, assisting individuals with hearing, visual, or physical impairments, and the climbing gym has hosted the climbing portion of the Extremity Games for individuals with amputations.
The clattering symphony of fallen pins plays on Sylvan Lanes Bowling Center's 12 gleaming lanes, where competitors hurl resin-based orbs. Here, strike forces assemble for 10-frame mayhem, one-upping one another with stunning spare pickups and graceful pirouettes enabled by their supple-soled rental shoes. On their quest to roll the elusive 300, bowlers can sustain themselves with selections from the menu, such as burgers topped with blue cheese or pizzas adorned with barbecue sauce and chicken. Throughout the alley, plush leather sofas beckon bowlers, and a full-service bar lined with flat-screen TVs keeps guests abreast of contemporaneous sporting events.
Sylvan Lanes also has a private event room that holds over 100 people and can be used for just about any event including birthday parties, family reunions, and showers.
Arthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and The Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, The Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.
Dance icon Gene Kelly once said, "The history of dance on film begins with Astaire." Since its founding in 1947, the Fred Astaire Dance Studio has continued to turn out dancers with the aid of a pragmatic curriculum that imparts Hollywood–quality footwork. Now taught at more than 140 studios, the curriculum teaches students diverse styles ranging from ballroom to latin to swing and salsa. Stratified by skill level, classes can take students on a journey from rudimentary basics through the foundations of social dance, and then on to more advanced moves, with a trophy system delineating each student's progress. Dancers of all skill levels and ages can expand their repertoires with group classes, personalized one-on-one instruction, or special wedding dance programs that fortify couples for their first dance as newlyweds.
Zap Zone's eight locations in Michigan and two locations in Canada each feature a unique combination of attractions?anything from bumper cars to the Jump Zone's cushioned obstacle course. In the laser-tag arena, both kids and adults demonstrate their teamwork skills by outscoring opponents in fast-paced games that take place inside black-lit mazes of neon-tinged hallways. Arcades also round out every location's attractions, tempting passersby to drop a few tokens on racing games and skee-ball, or a lot of tokens on the claw game filled with Faberg? eggs.
To the trained staff at Wakeboard Clinic, every watery medium is worth a ride. These acrobatic instructors wakeboard, wakesurf, wakeskate, and waterski across the warm, shallow waters of Silver Lake in summer, and they skim the snow once the temperature drops. With an indefatigable passion for riding, the expert crew imparts their athletic know-how to pupils during clinics at the private Silver Spray Sports Marina on Silver Lake and at Boyne Mountain Resort during overnight camp stints. At these scenic locales, students young and old master wakesurfing basics before graduating to more advanced maneuvers such as jumps, grabs, and spins.

Charged with breaking down a packed Honduran defence, Spain coach Vicente del Bosque opted to exploit the wide areas to help his team secure a vital first victory in Group H at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™. As a result, Fernando Torres was deployed as a central striker, with David Villa and Jesus Navas flanking him on either side.
And it was via a mazy Villa run and finish, starting from his left-lying position, that the first goal came, with Sevilla youngster Navas also creating plenty of danger from the opposite wing. Thus, while it had been Spain's left flank which looked the stronger at the FIFA Confederations Cup last year, the European champions now also have a handy attacking outlet on the right.
"Navas gave a great deal of depth to our play," said Torres after the game. Navas added: "I've very happy with my contribution, but what mattered was the win. We may have missed a lot of chances but you've got to focus on the positives - we won the game."
Indeed, as Navas suggested, Spain's control of possession and constant attacking threat should perhaps have resulted in more than a 2-0 success. "I don't think that we've had a good game. We ought to have won by more goals and I'm not totally happy," said La Roja coach Del Bosque.
Goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas agreed: "Our finishing improved, we created more chances than against Switzerland, and the goals came. But we're not happy, we've got a sour taste in our mouths. Not because of the football we played, but because we didn't score many goals and we had a few wobbles at the back."
Juan Mata, who made his FIFA World Cup debut when coming on for Torres on 70 minutes, said: "We could have got more out of the game but we came up a bit short. In any case, I think the team will get more competitive as we go on. We're left with the feeling that we should have scored more goals, but what matters is that we won the game."
Spain face section leaders Chile, who have six points to their three, in a decisive game in Tshwane/Pretoria on 25 June, while Honduras take on Switzerland in Mangaung/Bloemfontein.
"We'll have time to prepare for the Chile match," concluded Del Bosque. "Now's the time to get some rest and draw our conclusions."

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

'Jersey Shore' topic of U. of C. conference
BY KARA SPAK Staff firstname.lastname@example.com October 25, 2011 5:18PM
Jersey Shore, under the academic microscope. University of Chicago students are holding a conference Friday on the MTV show. "We're not going to suck the life out of the show," organizer David Showalter insists. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
Updated: January 23, 2012 4:02AM
David Showalter works out at the gym. He does his own laundry.
But he doesn't tan, which left him time to plan Friday's UChicago Conference on Jersey Shore Studies.
A U. of C. senior and "Jersey Shore" fan, he and a group of friends gather weekly to watch the show and discuss the broader cultural issues of gender, sexuality, ethnic identity and "the game of reality television." Out of this was born a daylong academic look at the MTV show that gave the world the drunken, smutty antics of Snooki, the Situation and their crew.
"I don't know if it's just my nature or that the University of Chicago has done this to me, but I couldn't help trying to, I don't know if I would say intellectualize ["Jersey Shore"], but think more thoughtfully about it," he said.
Showalter, 21, originally from Stillwater, Okla., received money for the conference from the university's student-run Uncommon Fund. He expects between 200 and 500 attendees, most from the U. of C., on Friday.
This is not a joke, he said.
"It's a serious academic event," he said. "It's not a satire or a mockery of academia. It's going to be a bunch of students and scholars wearing suits and talking about 'Jersey Shore.' "
It should also be fun, he added. "We're not going to suck the life out of the show," he said. "I was a fan before I was a scholar. You don't have to choose between laughing at the show and thinking about the show."
About 50 people, including academics, graduate students and undergraduates from schools in the United States and Canada, submitted papers for possible inclusion in the conference. Some of the topics to be presented include "Foucault's Going to the Jersey Shore, Bitch!", "'You Dirty Little Hamster!': The Abject and the Monstrous Feminine in Jersey Shore," "GTL, Drunkenness, and Oompa-Loompa Party Girls: The Impact of Jersey Shore on the Jersey Shore" and "The Jersey Saga: Honor Culture in Medieval Iceland and Modern Seaside."
Showalter, who hopes to eventually pursue a doctorate in sociology, believes this conference might be the start of a valuable, critical look at other lowbrow but popular reality TV shows.
"We should spend more time thinking seriously and thoughtfully and rigorously about what we are watching," he said. "I hope this conference serves as a model, something to legitimize the idea that you could devote a day or longer to studying what most people consider trash TV."

Do coupons for organic products really exist? How can you find them so you can start using them to save on your organic groceries?
Here are the best places to find organic coupons:

All the organic coupons, green living deals and steals, and kitchen strategies and recipes will be sent to your inbox each day. Coupons have print limits, by getting the newsletter daily, you can be sure you won't miss out on any deals!
Online Printable Coupon Sites. Mambo Sprouts is a coupon site with the best organic printable coupons. Coupons can also be printed from Coupons.com, Red Plum, Hopster, SmartSource, and Cool Savings. These coupon sites are updated continuously. However, there are only a few organic printable grocery coupons on these sites each month; be sure to check often and to print them right away as print quantities are limited.
Facebook. Facebook is quickly becoming a hot spot for free samples, coupons, and special offers. Make sure you like The Greenbacks Gal. These offers are time sensitive so I post them to Facebook – you don't want to miss out on these deals! PLEASE NOTE: I do not post all offers to my Facebook fan page. To get all offers, please subscribe to the newsletter.
Recyclebank. Recyclebank allows you to take short quizzes and pledges (under 2 minutes) and cash those points in for coupons for green and organic products. These are coupons you won't find anywhere else and are usually of a really high value (think $2/1 Kashi product!) Click here to join and start accumulating points.
Online E-Coupon Sites. (see post here for more info) E-coupon sites include Shortcuts, Cellfire, P&GeSaver, & Savings Star. These are paperless coupons you load onto your store loyalty card. The savings come off when your card is swiped. Or, in the case of Savings Star, you get the savings in gift cards.
Target Printable Coupons. Did you know you can print coupons from Target? You can even stack a Target coupon with a manufacturers coupon! I post Target deals and stacking opportunities every week – which can make for some SWEET savings! Make sure you Subscribe to The Greenbacks Gal to start saving on organic and green products at Target!
Sunday Papers. There are three main circulars that come in the Sunday paper: Red Plum, Smart Source, and Procter and Gamble. What circular is in the paper varies from week to week. There are occasional organic coupons in the Sunday paper, enough that I recommend getting a subscription. Get the subscription for the largest paper you can.
Manufacturer Websites. Have a product you love? Look on the manufacturer website for coupons. Usually these are listed under "Coupons", "Special Offers", or "Promotions". These coupons switch out as the manufacturer is trying to promote different products. However, once you print one, you may not be able to go back and print more. Also, the coupon is usually only good for a limited time – usually 30 days. So sometimes it pays off to wait for a sale before checking the website for a coupon. No coupons offered? Try writing an email and letting them know how much you love their products. Be sure to include your physical address because they just might decide to mail a coupon to you!
Vitacost. Don't have very many organic options where you live? Vitacost has a rewards program that gives you $10 in rewards to spend on their site. That's a "free" $10 to spend on gluten-free items, vegan items, or organic items. Look for their fantastic sale prices and save right off the bat!
Grocers/Big Box Websites. Grocers such as Safeway and Big Boxes such as Target will put coupons on their website. These coupons may be printables, e-savers, or even text messages. The best part of using these coupons? Most companies allow you to stack a store coupon with a manufacturer coupon. This is where you save the most. Find out How to Stack Whole Foods Market coupons.
Groceries purchased at Whole Foods with coupon stacks.
In The Store. Check EVERYWHERE. If you are looking for organic grocery coupons, most often they will be right next to the product. Customer service, the deli, and the pharmacy are good places to start looking for special savings books. Often times, stores such as Walgreens have their monthly store coupons right inside their doors. Throughout the store there are also Blinkies, Peelies and Tearpads. Grocer's shelves may have blinkie coupon machines located next to a product – called a blinkie because it is meant to get your attention. Peelies are coupons that are stuck to the products themselves. Tearpads are coupon pads also located next to a product. What you need to know about the "rules" to Blinkies, Peelies and Tearpads: If you want a blinkie or tearpad coupon, go ahead and take one. You do not need to use them that day or in that store. But don't be a hog and take them all. Share the coupon love and it will come back to you. Peelies are different. They are meant to be spent on that product that day. Please do not pull them all off and save them. Again, coupon karma comes into play.
Coupon Clipping Sites. There are many, many coupon clipping sites from which you can buy coupons. Usually, the cost is somewhere around a dollar or two for a quantity of a certain coupon. You can even find coupons on Ebay. If it is a product you really love, always use, or never goes on sale, this is worth doing. I'd recommend finding a coupon clipping service close to your geographical area that will mail to you the same day. This helps to get your coupons quickly.
Coupon Trains and Trading Clubs. Find a coupon buddy and trade.
Through the Mail. Check out How I got FREE products and coupons through the mail!
Magazines. There is only one really great coupon magazine – All You. It is only sold in WalMart or by subscription. It also has a great website and will post exclusive coupons there. Regular subscriptions don't offer a lot of coupons, but they do offer a sprinkling. If you like a magazine, and can get it for free or super cheap, subscribe. Just don't do it for the coupons.
Product Packaging. Check that box! Coupons are often times located outside or even inside the box!
Once you start collecting coupons, you'll need a way to organize them. Check out How I Organize Coupons.
If you are looking for organic grocery coupons, you can find them! You just need to look! Also, look for my coupons on The Money Saving Mom Natural and Organic Coupon and Deals round-up!

On Jebs twitter he posted a couple of new images of the Minecraft Nether, one showing what appears to be a new block type possibly nether bricks, the second image posting clearly shows Nether bridges built from what appear to be the Nether bricks. It really has been about time the Nether got some more development love, so here is hoping this is planned for the Minecraft 1.9 release, who knows it may even make it into a bug fix build of the current 1.8 releases.

HP Technical Workers Overtime Pay Class Action Lawsuit
Attorney Jahan C. Sagafi of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, and Adam T. Klein of Outten & Golden LLP announced the filing today of a class action lawsuit charging that Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") (NYSE: HPQ) has a common practice of misclassifying its technical support workers as exempt and failing to pay them for all overtime hours worked in violation of federal overtime pay laws. HP employs several thousand technical support workers nationwide. Many of these employees worked at smaller companies, such as Autonomy, Palm, Electronic Data Systems (EDS), 3Com, ArcSight, and 3PAR, that have recently been acquired by HP.
"HP's success and substantial revenue come from the hard work and long hours of its technical support workers, who keep information technology infrastructure up and running," stated plaintiff Eric Benedict. "HP should not be allowed to underpay these workers in violation of the law."
Plaintiff's counsel Jahan Sagafi noted, "This lawsuit seeks fair compensation for the thousands of HP technical workers who form the backbone of the company. Their tireless overtime work, which we allege has been unpaid, has helped fuel HP's success."
HP's technical support workers, who work in titles such as Technical Solutions Consultants, Technical Solutions Representatives, Technical Support Engineers, and Senior Technical Support Engineers, among others, are responsible for installing, maintaining, and/or supporting computer software and hardware. The lawsuit alleges that these workers were unlawfully denied overtime pay.Current and former HP employees who perform hardware or software installation, maintenance, or support work who wish to report their work experiences or learn more about the lawsuit should visit www.HPOTpay.com. The web page allows witnesses and employees interested in protecting their rights to contact plaintiffs' counsel. A short video summarizing the case can also be seen on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z64tRhMXgN0 The lawsuit, entitled Benedict v. Hewlett-Packard Company, Case No. 13-0119, was filed in United States District Court in San Francisco, California.

1979 Revolution on Kickstarter
1979 Revolution: Black Friday is an episodic game with a an interesting theme - it is set during the revolution in Iran which overthrew the Shah. It is definitely one of the more interesting projects on Kickstarter, but I can't help thinking that they got a few things wrong. The main issue is that they are using Kickstarter to finance an iPad only game which is terribly limiting. Their first platform choice should definitely be PC. They are also asking a lot of money for a single episode of the game which would only give 2 hours gameplay. As for the gameplay itself, it doesn't sound too inspiring - a series of mini-games linked by a narrative. At first I thought they would really try for a 'Walking Dead' approach, but it doesn't look that way. However, I wish the team the best of luck, and I hope they do a reboot with some lessons learned.

Good News! They just announced PC/MAC/ANDROID:ReplyDelete

Would have been much more interesting if they made is so you could actually change the outcome of the whole revolution. Much more creative way of gameplay, with replay value, and it would attract a wider set of players (a lot of people with different ideas of how it should have turned out, etc.)ReplyDelete

When you are trying to showcase your business, a professional personal appearance can go a long way in representing your company. We all know that you wouldn't walk into an interview without looking your best and the same philosophy should be taken when considering commercial portraits.

With so many digital cameras available to the consumer, many companies choose to take their own amateur portraits. Some on the other hand, may employ a 'professional' at a low cost. While these photographs may seem acceptable, why settle for second best?

United, Alaska Air take lead on biofuel flights
United says it will become the first U.S. airline to fly a commercial flight powered with an "advanced biofuel," Reuters reports.
The Boeing 737-800 operating that United flight -- Flight 1403 -- is scheduled to depart Houston Bush Intercontinental for Chicago O'Hare at 11:30 a.m. ET (10:30 a.m. local time).
IN-DEPTH: Race for scale: United, Alaska Airlines launch commercial aviation biofuels flights (BiofuelsDigest)
With that, United says it will be "the first U.S. airline to fly passengers using a blend of sustainable, advanced biofuel and traditional petroleum-derived jet fuel."
"United is taking a significant step forward to advance the use of environmentally responsible and cost-efficient alternative fuels," United COO Pete McDonald says in a press release. "Sustainable biofuels, produced on a large scale at an economically viable price, can one day play a meaningful role in powering everyone's trip on an airline."
In taking the lead, United barely trumped a similar effort by Alaska Airlines.
ALSO ONLINE: Flying with biofuel gets one step closer (International Herald Tribune)
Alaska Air says it and regional affiliate Horizon Air will operate 75 U.S. flights this year using a biofuel blend, beginning with Wednesday flights from Seattle to both Washington Reagan National and Portland, Ore.
Alaska and Horizon Air say they'll continue to operate "select" flights between Seattle and those two cities over the next few weeks using a 20% blend of sustainable biofuel.
Alaska Air says in a release the blend will be made "from used cooking oil that meets rigorous international safety and sustainability standards." The Puget Sound Business Journal adds "Alaska Air said the biofuel blend it is using for the 75 flights will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 10%, or 134 metric tons."
In its release, Alaska Air says "these flights signal aviation's next era, where sustainable biofuels can provide a viable alternative to conventional fuel and enable airlines to reduce their environmental impact."
Perhaps underscoring the public relations value airlines see in touting such green-friendly initiatives, Alaska Air's press release went out by e-mail shortly after 4 a .m. ET. United followed about six hours with its release.

Course: ABCs of Wine Tasting

Wine is a social beverage, at its best when shared with friends and family.

Either way, wine adds pleasure to life.
Wine is fermented grape juice.

I cannot find a thing to wear anymore.
My maternity clothes just look silly but I can't button a single pair of pants.
All of my shirts are too tight and just make me look like I've got muffin top and a spare tire around my tummy.
It took me an hour to find something to wear today and I almost cried. I still don't even like what I ended up wearing.
Has anyone found any cute styles, shirts for this awkward period.
Please, share links! I need shirts that aren't tight!
Im the same way.
Pre pregnancy I was in really good shape and loved to shop because it was fun!
Im having the same problem I actually bought a shirt today that said "Im not fat Im knocked up" lol because I have the spare tire thing going on too!
Ive found that I look the best in like work out wear like tighter sweat pants that have a stretch waist or cargo pants seem to work well too! The shirts dont seem to be as big as a problem as long as they arnt skin tight!
Hope that helps!
I am wearing stretchy skirts a lot! I have one pair of jeans that still fit, but they give me horrible muffin-top. I've started wearing a couple pairs of maternity pants that have the small elastic band type waist bands. They were lent from a friend and free, so whatever fits, wear it!
I'm really curious to see the "real waist" pants from Old Navy... they seem like a good fit for now. http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=5856# Hope that helps!
lmorg678:I have had many breakdowns over the past couple weeks because of not being able to find anything to wear. It's so depressing. I have like.. I don't know, 3 or 4 'loose' shirts that sort of fit. The beband I got from Target is getting more and more annoying each day and I have no capris or pants that fit. Ugh! And I can't wait till I actually LOOK pregnant and not just fat.
Agreed. I feel weird complaining --b/c people were complaining about people that complain about weight gain while pregnant on an unpopular opinion post-- but it can be discouraging even though we expect it.
Yesterday, I just felt so down all day b/c nothing looks good on me. I don't feel cute and I feel huge
It doesn't help that my family came over today and asked if I was having twins like fifteen times. I take it that they think I'm fat.
I don't really like the bella band at all. You can tell that my pants are open through the fabric and it doesn't help to control the muffin top.
Leggings and loose tops from Target are what I will be wearing during my sister's wedding weekend to hide my pregnancy from certain family members. I'm not showing yet, at least not first thing in the morning, but towards the end of the day I just look like I have a beer belly. I love the bella band! It feels like extended sweat pants!! I'm used to wearing tighter shirts though, so having it snug on my stomach doesn't bother me.
Other than that, my pants usually remain unbuttoned with a belt keeping them up for the time being.
I don't have a belly (yet), but none of my button-down shirts fit, nor do most of my t-shirts. Why? One word: BOOBS.
What's worked for me are empire waist dresses made of cotton with a little bit of stretch. Fortunately, I had a lot of these from the last few spring / summer seasons because they're just so comfortable. The stretchy part is key -- I think I'll be able to keep wearing these dresses comfortably for several more months.
Also: dresses without a defined waist -- i.e., hippie-style dresses. I bought one a couple weeks ago that, on the rack, looked like a sack. But the color was nice, so I bought it. It's turned out to be one of my favorite things. I dress it up with heels and a (stretchy) belt. Plus, it has a lot of room in the front for when I start growing out a little more.
I bought a bunch of cheap leggings from H&M ($10 each), and some loose shirts, blouses, and light sweaters from Nordstrom that are better quality, and that I will still wear post-pregnancy.
The shirts/blouses I've bought are Joie and Trouve in case you want to check them out. I also got a cheap maxi dress from Forever 21, and a couple days ago when Isabella Oliver had a 44% off sale, I splurged on a black maternity skirt, and a maternity wrap blouse. When I'm not in leggings, I wear my Paige maternity jeans (they're the cutest ones I've found, and no one can tell they're maternity!) I will wear the jeans post-pregnancy as well, when I'm a little pouchier. (I can't bring myself to try the elastic band trick because I'm so afraid the band will break!)
I'm struggling with that in-between phase where I look "thicker" and don't fit into any of my pre-pregnancy clothes so you're not alone! I try to dress up my limited outfit options with some cute jewelry and a nice bag.
Hope that helps!
Old Navy-they have flowy, cotton dresses that are perfect (at least for my casual workplace). Today I'm wearing a purple smocked top strapless dress. Comes to my knees, flowy below the boobs, and I've got a denim jacket over it. They also have it in teal and black. The one I am wearing today was $17-not on sale, thats the actual price.
Ann Taylor Loft also has some cute flowy empire waist dresses-make sure you use a coupon code when you buy there and get at least 30-40% off. Never pay full price at ATL-if they don't have anything that particular day, wait a day or two-they have sales literally almost every day.
Target also has some cute dresses-even some with a little more structure if your workplace is a little more formal than mine. Instead of just looking in maternity, try buying a size or two up in womens. Shift dresses you can help define your waist with a thin belt, but it should still hide your little belly. Plus side-most Target dresses are only $20-25 so it won't cost too much.
Embrace the flowy look-it will make things so much easier. I used to not wear dresses because my thighs chafed when I walked...and then I embraced the Target brand of spanx...they are made of pantyhose material, and are not confining. They aren't hot either-I wear them everyday during the summer in Tx 100 degree heat
But seriously-dresses are your best friend at this point

Millions of people around the world are constantly worried about their weight gain problems. There are some who seem concerned about loss of weight but more people have troubles in losing weight. If you search on the internet you will find thousands of companies providing weight loss solutions in their own ways. Some emphasize on the importance of diet, some have their own dietary foods that they send to their customers while others focus on exercises and body workouts. The truth is that human body needs them all i.e. good food, balanced diet, workout and mental happiness.
One big barrier that stops many people from taking up weight loss solution is the cost. Most of the dietary solutions require customers to buy certain foods from the company that's providing the weight loss solution. Companies that propagate workouts programs and exercises for losing weight often earn from their CDs. In this case of workouts, most of what will happen depends on the motivation level of the customer. However, there are some natural ways available today for people who want to lose weight without spending too much money and relying on CDs or dietary foods.
Garcinia Cambogia is, as said by many doctors, the holy grail of weight loss. This particular fruit found on trees that are mostly grown in tropical areas of Asia and Africa has been the most popular entry in the weight loss world in the recent years. People in many parts of India have been using this fruit in their foods, especially sea foods, to help them in digestion and to add sourness in the food too. People who suggest Garcinia Cambogia for weight loss suggest it for its qualities as a suppressant in the body. It suppresses the appetite and helps people in controlling excessive eating. You can watch this YouTube video to understand why it's good to use Garcinia Cambogia for weight.
Many people are good and self-motivated in doing exercises and going on strict dietary schedules. However, the many forms of foods around them are often tempting enough to break their wall of resistance. That's when Garcinia Cambogia plays an important role. It suppresses the appetite so you don't have to fall for many different types of temptations. It also performs an important task of blocking the working of Citrate Lyase. Citrate Lyase works in human bodies to convert the carbohydrates into fats and sugars. If not used these fats stick to your body and make you fat.
Garcinia Cambogia can be taken in capsule form. You can buy these capsules from online shops that are selling this extract at low costs. The price of the package depends on the number of capsules in it. You can buy a dosage of 1, 2 or 3 months. The more you buy the more discount you get on the package. Many websites are offering discounts as special offers and on shipping. Even though there haven't been any serious side effects of the drug reported at least within 12 weeks of use, still you are highly recommended to consult with your doctor before using it.

Suggested by Jean Stevenson, San Jose, CA
If this candy had to live on looks alone, it wouldn't get far. One taste, however, and you could be addicted. Old-fashioned puff candy is a light, airy molasses-flavored candy that looks kind of like a sponge, but tastes like heaven. Crunchy when you first bite into it, it quickly melts in your mouth like cotton candy. 5 oz. bag.

entirely yumly! Had this candy as a child and was very fond of it. I ordered it naked w/o the chocolate. Probably would suggest to order it enrobed in chocolate though. It is also called sponge candy or seafoam in the north east. A chunk of heaven. March 17, 2014
Happy days are here again! When I was young, I would buy this Old Fashioned Puff Candy at least once a week. It was my favorite thing! I'd been trying to find out for years if it still existed. Finally, I came across your site and purchased the candy. It was just as wonderful as I remembered. I gave some to my sister and brother and they were so surprised. Turns out it was their favorite too! Keep making it! We love it! March 11, 2014
YUMMY We used to call this sponge candy, it is sooo good and tastes very much like the candy I enjoyed in the 70's. Trust me it is worth a try, it has a molasses taste. I have a recipe for this candy but it is such a bother to make purchasing it is so much easier. February 28, 2014
Childhood Sweet Memories As a young child, our family often had sponge candy for a treat. As a retired grandmother, I have reconnected with this favorite from my childhood. It is as good as I remembered. Thank you for the Sweet Memories! R Berger January 28, 2014
Best candy around I wait until Christmas time every year to order this candy. It is the same recipe we purchased as children from the local candy maker in Detroit. Every year they would have a big mountain of this candy in their window and when you came in to buy it, they would cut it off and bag it for you. For years I looked every where for this and was so glad to see it. I purchased it right of way and was very disappointed when it was no longer available. January 13, 2014
Simply Addictive! This was our first order of Old-fashioned Puff Candy. It is wonderful! Similar to the candy part of an old fashioned, buttery, brown sugar peanut brittle, only lighter and tastier. Everyone in our family, regardless of age, loved this candy. It will be added to our list of Christmas traditions for candies. January 10, 2014
Sportsman Show I used to get this as a child at the Sportsmans Show at the International Ampitheatre in Chicago. December 14, 2013
Great The entire family enjoyed this product and there are six of us...we will reorder at a later date. December 6, 2013

According to credit ratings agency, Fitch Ratings, Latin America's oil and gas sector will need more than $225 billion of investment over the next decade. This year could mark the beginning of serious investment, possibly leading to significant discoveries and production. Repsol-YPF, in particular, has begun the year with announcements of serious intentions for South American E&P investment.
Venezuela focuses on exports this quarter. During the third week in January, the US National Security Council met to discuss a more aggressive policy toward Venezuela, including possible economic sanctions. The sanctions would be aimed at state oil company PDVSA. If such an action were to be taken, it would likely impact PDVSA's US-based refiner/ marketer subsidiary, Citgo Petroleum Corp.
