Ricard was probably one of the best dubbed characters on the show and there were plenty of brilliant lines throughout. Burgundy (and Fauxgundy) was great as always as well and even Iris was good throughout.
The storyline isn't particularly brilliant, but it's good to finally see a bit more of the role of a connoisseur, something extremely lacking for Cilan. Though it's a bit ironic that Burgundy's sniffing probably would have figured it out just as well as Cilan, just she got the wrong smell the first time.
It's interesting that the Pokemon appearing here most obviously - Petilil and Whimsicott - just appeared in the recent Japanese episode, they filled pretty much the same role in both, the cute Pokemon on the side. I liked both of their voices as well.
Ash is a bit strange in this episode, with his general 'meh' response to the Gym being closed - but that doesn't really make any difference to the episode itself.
At a stretch I'll complain that Crustle's shell smash yet again came off with no downside to Cilan - which I think goes against the advice he'll give to others; but that's about all I can think of that annoyed me - besides that damn countdown clock for Ben 10.
Thoroughly disturbing episode. In all the RIGHT ways. Hope this isn't too long...
First off, the butler picks Cilan up and carries him like a baby or a newlywed? AND throws him and his traveling buddies in the car and drives off with them? I mean, yeah he explained where they were going, but if every kidnapper said "We need a connoisseur for... safe and legitimate connoisseur stuff, yeah..." do you think that makes them more trustworthy?
Always like hearing from Mike Pollock though. Too bad there was no room for him as main character in this episode. But with him AND Cilan together in the same episode, it's like the 4Kids studio is back doing the Sonic games. It was fun to pretend, at least.
Anyway, enter Ricard Nouveau, who shook/stuck his butt out two times too many in this episode. Between this and the train episode, I gotta conclude that there's some correlation between Pokémon connoisseurs and unnaturally round butts and sticking out said butts. When Ricard took Cilan's hand, I thought he was gonna kiss it, but instead, he smelled it. At first I didn't get it, but then I thought "Oh yeah, connoisseurs, they're smelling things like they smell food. And thus, evaluating said things."
I also liked that Burgundy, the connoisseuse got in, but it was obvious she was gonna, you don't waste a Burgundy appearance and not let her work that grade-A C-class episode material. She forged that S-class badge? If by "forged" you mean "put a sticker on it" then yeah, an intricately modeled facsimile, sure is. But a quick question, for all the money this Hattorli guy probably has, why didn't he just hire S-class connoisseurs instead of A-class? Doesn't he love his daughter? I guess a menagerie of Pokémon somehow still isn't worth S-class money...
Another quick question, during Cilan's (was it Cilan's? I forget) speech about Pokémon and how they bond with people and stuff, during the various images shown of people getting on with their Pokémon, that one groom outside of the church, was he MARRYING his Gothitelle? Because if that's legal now, I know a few people who'd like to make their Gardevoir or Lopunny the happiest Pokémon in the Unova region.
Anyway, back to smelling. Cilan, Ricard, and Burgundy/Fauxgundy were going smell crazy in this episode. It was weird enough that Fauxgundy decided to smell Marigold herself, but with Cilan smelled her swing seat I lost it. Leave us break from the madness and enjoy today's Pokémon battle.
Purrloin vs. Crustle. Crustle won, and he won in one shot, and some people might call that kinda cheap, like last episode's battle with Ash vs. Brycen. But A: Crustle is the highest evolution he can be. 2: He used the Rock-type equivalent of Hyper Beam. And finally, he was in Shell Smash mode. So that was probably enough firepower to OHKO a guy. But I like the use of Purrloin, it brought us Cilan in a knock-kneed state. And I also liked Burgundy watching the fight in secret. And the throwback to her old line about how she hopes both Cilan and his opponent lose. And speaking of throwbacks, Crustle's Rock Wrecker blasted off Burgundy. Like Team Rocket used to do. And Ash picked up on it. That's-a spicy nostalgia. And I can say "nostalgia" because a generation ago is far back enough to look on fondly.
In the end, Cilan picked Marigold's Pokémon companion, a Foongus. Which she had been friends with all along anyway. Call it a coincidence, but with the pink spore-like sparkles flying from her hair, I had a feeling it would be a spore-using Poison-type.
Oh, and after the last episode, I mentioned how Brycen "suggested" that Ash go to the Opelucid gym for his eighth and final Gym Badge, and how if there are only eight gyms, how can that be possible, unless there are more than eight official gyms in the Unova region? Turns out, yeah, there are. At least 9. Because it was suggested to Ash that instead of Opelucid, he go to the Virbank gym. And so eager was Cilan to see it, that now that's where they're going. But here's the thing, Ash's badge case is fitted for specific badges, right? Am I wrong? I could've sworn I saw it that way. Regardless, Ash can't go to Opelucid. Not yet. And I think I know why, but I'm not sayin' nothin' about it yet.
Ricard said he hopes to see Cilan again. And I hope he does too. This whole connoisseurs and connoisseuses rivalry thing, with just Cilan and Burgundy, was way one sided. With just Cilan and Burgundy, we have a boring ol' regular learning experience for Burgundy or something. With Ricard thrown in the mix, now someone's busting Cilan's chops too, not just Burgundy's. Now we've got a fight. That's what I'm looking forward to. And I'm also looking forward to what comes after Ash's either gym badge. Because this went by fast. I'm sure a new story is coming soon.

I everyone else I love this episode dub wise. It was awesome work by everyone.
I love the buttler just picking up Clian like a rag doll and thowning him, Iris and Ash into the limo. Maragold had a good voice actress too but I didn't like the look at her eyes. It like staring into your soul and ripping it out at the same time.
I love that they made some about the dub made a reffence to Team Rocket when Ash said "could've sworn he heard that before" that was an awesome thing they can reffence from the dub to date. Burgundy was funny in this episode, she made me laugh every time I saw her trying to get into the mansion. When the epic Buttler kicked her out of the mansion it was too funny along with the Lilipup bit.
The Battle was awesome because it had Crustle kicking butt agian and it was awesome to see Shell Smash agian with that beautiful crison glow. Purloin didn't stand no chance agianst it and Crustle is mostly like a Chuck Norris combined with a crab. And Rock Weacker was awesome too.
Richard had a good voice in this dub that I enjoy most with Clian as will. The one thing that I don't like about the guy is the butt wiggle. That was the creppiest thing I ever saw in this episode. No butt wiggle please. 'face palm my desk to forget that happen.' I like him to be Clian's rival then Burgunay, for running jokes Burgeny could work.
Clian wasn't Like himself in this episode, it was like seeing a whole different person. He was calm and prove that he was a Connicor of the A class varite. And aloud Ash and Iris to help him mostly at the very end of the episode. I like how they did that for Iris and Ash to help Clian then just standing around doing nothing at all.
So I give this episode a 5/5 for epic dubbing.
The dub said that Ash heard Burgundy blasting off somewhere before i.e. Team Rocket
What was in the original?
Ricard said Connoisseurs need to be expressive, which would explain why Cilan is so...Cilan. And apparently sniffing another Connoisseur is normal? If so, it was very rude of Cilan to not sniff Burgundy's hand. Cilan also mentions that he prides himself on knowing all the Pokemon Connoisseurs, but he didn't seem to know about Ricard. Yeah okay, Cilan. No, I totally believe you.
Shame Cilan didn't ask the butler to let Burgundy stay around. She would have benefited from watching the A-Classes work. At least she was ingenious enough to sneak in and watch the match. Also, it seems like Burgundy is a Cilan/Ricard shipper, saying they were creeps who "were made for each other."
I like how Cilan said Marigold needed a Pokemon that fit her character. Naturally, this Pokemon is sort of ugly and smells weird.
In terms of voices, I really liked Ricard and Marigold's voices. Both fit really well, and the actors knew how to emote. The same can't be said for Burgundy, who sounded really subdued this time around. Mr. Hatterly's voice just didn't fit - it was the stereotypical snobby rich man voice, but he was way too sympathetic to pull it off.
All in all, it was a pretty good episode. The only problem I really had with it was that Ash and Iris were pointless. All they did was find Foongus, and even then their job could have just as easily been done by Cilan after the match.

I loved this episode too! One of the best Cilan episodes yet! ^^
I also like that he has another rival besides Burgundy. :D
That Ricard guy rather creeps me out though. Still, the only thing I'd actually improve was Cilan's battle with him. As said earlier, the use of Purrloin was brilliant. It just should've been fleshed out more. Cilan's fear should've gotten to him a little more and caused him to start losing. But then Ash and Iris give him an encouragement speech and that gets him to step up and knock that Purrloin around in oblivion. This is how I would've done it.
Otherwise, great episode and excellent display of Cilan's amazing skills. <3

the idea that tax cuts for the middle class and poorer also help the rich.
This is a point that has gotten somewhat overlooked in the debate about the Bush tax cuts,
which are scheduled to expire at the end of this year.
President Obama has proposed that the tax cuts for the very wealthiest Americans expire as planned,
but that the tax cuts for all other American households be extended.
One interesting quirk of the US tax system, however, means that the
tax cuts for the "middle class" also benefit Americans who are much richer than "middle class."
In fact, these "middle class" tax cuts benefit richer Americans more than they benefit middle-class Americans.
Here's a chart, from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities,
showing the average tax savings for each income group that comes from the Obama administration's tax proposal,
rather than letting the tax cuts expire in their entirety:
The tax savings outlined here are a comparison between a world without any Bush tax cuts
and a world with the scaled-back version the Obama administration has proposed.
The center's Chuck Marr explains:
The income tax operates as a staircase, not an elevator,
so people who make $1 million a year don't go directly to the top "floor"
(i.e., to the top marginal tax rate, currently 35 percent)
but instead take the "stairs,"
paying tax on the first increment of taxable income at the bottom rate of 10 percent,
paying tax on the next increment at 15 percent,
and so on until reaching the top rate.
As a result, the 2001 tax law's reductions in the lower tax brackets
benefit not only middle-income people whose incomes fall into those lower brackets,
but also people in the very highest brackets.
In fact, a family making more than $1 million will receive
more than five times the tax cut benefit, in dollar terms,
as a middle-class family making $50,000 to $75,000,
if Congress extends the so-called middle-class tax cuts.
But we'll see how far Obama's proposal actually gets in Congress.
We're guessing, not too far - and he won't do much about it.

Kemin selects raw material suppliers after review and evaluation, and receives certificates of analysis on each lot of raw material purchased from the suppliers. Although the company performs additional testing at its own laboratory to verify suppliers' claims on the certificates of analysis, Kemin is investigating one of its tocopherol suppliers.
On April 3, certified lab results in Europe showed 40.035 nanograms/kilogram of dioxin in a single batch of Naturox IP Plus Dry, an antioxidant used in petfood. Kemin is replacing any unused antioxidants containing tocopherols from this supplier as a precaution.
Kemin has been in contact with all affected European customers to notify them that when the antioxidant is applied at recommended application rates, the amount of dioxin in finished petfood is 0.04 - 0.09 nanograms/kilogram—well below the maximum allowable limit for dioxin in Europe. The EU allowable limit for dioxin in finished petfood is 1.75 nanograms/kilogram. As a comparison, the US limit for dioxin is 200,000 nanograms/kilogram.
What is this quiet, unassuming ingredient, and should it be there?
It's the finishing touch that can meet both owner and pet needs.
The question is whether they provide additional benefit to the dog or cat
What you need to keep your manufacturing line clean, safe and contaminant-free
Processors should carefully develop, validate and implement an effective kill step to support production of pathogen-free petfoods
Safe, nutritious, tasty petfood requires careful handling and processing of raw meat ingredients

If you're having problems when trying to record a programme or play back your recordings from your Planner, try following the instructions below.
Clear your deleted items
Clearing your deleted items tab and resetting your Sky+ box can often resolve temporary recording and Planner issues.
- Press tv guide on your Sky remote control.
- Use the right arrow button to scroll to your Planner.
- Press select.
- Use the left arrow button to scroll to the Deleted tab, then press select.
- Highlight each recording and press the yellow button to permanently delete them from your box.
To reset your box, turn off your Sky+ box and then unplug it from the wall socket. Leave the box unplugged for at least 60 seconds, and then reconnect the power and switch the box back on.
Try recording a programme or playing back a recording from your Planner again. If you're still having difficulty your Planner may be corrupted, which you can fix by rebuilding your Planner using the steps below.
Rebuild your Planner
If restarting your Sky+ box hasn't resolved the problem, follow these steps to rebuild the Planner.
Please note: Rebuilding your Planner will not delete any of your previous recordings. However, it will interrupt any recordings currently in progress, so it's best to proceed when you're not recording a programme.
- Press services on your Sky remote.
- Press the right arrow button to highlight Settings
- Press select.
- Press 0, then 1, followed by select. You'll now see a new set of screens that are normally hidden from view, with the Setup screen selected.
- Press the left/right arrow buttons to highlight Sky+ Rebuild.
- Press select. You'll now see this message: "This will take a few minutes to complete. The rebuild will stop all recordings and reboot your Sky+HD".
- Press select. The onscreen message "Housekeeping please wait" will appear and then disappear within two minutes.
- The Planner rebuild will now go ahead, and may take up to two further minutes. Once complete, your Sky+ box will automatically switch itself off and then back on. You will then see the red standby light on your Sky+ box (newer boxes have an amber standby light).
- Wait for at least two minutes after the red standby light has appeared.
- Press sky on your remote control.
Your Sky+ box should now start up as normal, with the light changing to green. Once your Sky+ box has started, try to use the Planner to record and view programmes as usual.
If the Planner still doesn't allow you to record, view or delete programmes, you may need to perform a full system reset.
Missed a programme?
Don't forget, you can check the Sky TV Guide for alternative airings of any programmes you've missed, or if your Sky+ box is connected to your broadband network, you can also check to see if the programme is available to download in Catch Up TV.

Pwnie Express Rides Again at RSA 2014 (Video)
Roblimo posted about 9 months ago | from the a-cute-name-plus-open-source-pen-testing-tickles-our-keys dept.12
The intro to our first video interview with Pwnie Express 'Founder and CEO and everything else' Dave Porcello back in 2012 started with this sentence: 'Pwnie Express is a cute name for this tiny (and easily hidden) group of Pen Test devices.' They have more tools now, including some they've released since we mentioned them and their (then) new Pwn Pad back in March, 2013. Now they're working with Kali Linux, a distro built especially for penetration testing (and formerly known as BackTrack). In this video we have Tim Lord chatting with Dave Porcello about recent Pwnie Express happenings at RSA 2014. (If you don't see the video below, please use this link.)

$200 full-color e-reader does a lot for little
If you bought the iPad just for its book readin' capabilities, then Pandigital's upcoming Novel may have you wishing Apple had a better return policy. The upcoming $200 e-reader isn't the prettiest or fastest, but it will hold its own for its low price.
With its 7-inch full-color LCD display, Wi-Fi and the ability to run apps, the look and feel of the Novel may have you thinking of Barnes & Noble's Nook. There's more to that similarity, in fact — the Novel uses the Barnes & Noble e-book store, too.
What the Novel doesn't have is the cellular connection (so you'll have to rely on Wi-Fi), the speed or the gloss of its more expensive kin. It also won't pull in any fans away from, say, Amazon's Kindle, as e-ink devices are still popular for the way they read more like a real book.
Still, for $200, the Novel will be one of your cheapest options for e-readin' when it comes out in June.

Good! :) It was kind of an introspective piece so I'm glad it was useful to others!Delete
I feel like I have learned alot about reflection in the past 6 months! It seems like you have too! Love the bangles. One more thing I am copying from this blog. My pants, my bangles, my bangs, etc. Love you Blaire!ReplyDeleteReplies
Of course I have;) I'm glad you have too! Check them out for real..I love those bangles! And copy away girlfriend;)Delete
I love the bangles!ReplyDelete
Lately I've lost some of my motivation. I bring it back by making lists and re-prioritizing my goals. My husband and I recently decided to put all other goals to the side for now and focus on our faith. It's been refreshing.
Sometimes we just need to strip away the distractions and get back to basics.Replies
Hi Nessa! I think you are spot-on. Stepping back to re-prioritize can be so crucial! And getting back to basics is key. Great words of wisdom! :)Delete
I love the theme behind this post (says the gal still up at 2:30am finishing up grad work because she didn't find the motivation earlier)! You are absolutely right in that this can apply to practically every part of your life. We have to make decisions daily to make ourselves focused and ultimately more happy. I agree with Nessa, sometimes we have to strip away the distractions and get back to basics!ReplyDelete
Love the shirt, btw!
Heyyy!! Thanks lady! I'm glad others have found it useful:) Hope you are doing well!Delete

Kagan confirmation hearings continue
Alex Wong/Getty Images
U.S. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan answers questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the second day of her confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill June 29, 2010 in Washington, DC.
Elena Kagan is being grilled by the Judiciary Committee today. Republicans say they don't plan to filibuster her confirmation to the Supreme Court, but they won't rule it out either. What, if anything, have the hearings revealed about Kagan's constitutional interpretations and judicial temperament? And, should the proceedings be a thorough exploration of a future justice's beliefs, as Kagan herself has written? Or, so long as the nominee is capable of the job, should the Senate take politics out of the equation?

Boys Amateur Championship
The 88th Boys Amateur Championship is to be played at both Prestwick and Dundonald Links, on August 12-17, 2014.
Prestwick hosted the first 12 Open Championships between 1860 and 1872 and legendary figures like Willie Park Snr, Tom Morris Snr and Jnr and David Strath all made their names on this venerable Ayrshire links.
Largely for logistical reasons, Prestwick has not held an Open Championship since America's Jim Barnes defeated English duo, Archie Compston and Ted Ray, back in 1925 but it is still a regular on most other Championship rotas and last year hosted the Ladies British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship. It has also staged ten Amateur Championships, the Ladies' Amateur Championship, the Seniors Amateur Championship and various Scottish championships as well as the Boys Amateur Championship on two previous occasions.
Sweden's Oskar Bergqvist won the 2014 Boys Amateur Championship after a closely contested Final with Ireland's Rowan Lester at Prestwick.
Bergqvist edged out Lester with a one hole victory in the 36-hole final to become the first Swede to win the Boys Amateur since Leif Westerberg at Royal Mid-Surrey in 1992.
The first stage of the Championship involves 252 players each of whom plays two rounds of 18 holes, one to be played on each of the two courses.
The 64 lowest scores over the 36 holes and ties for 64th place will compete in the match play stage of the Championship. Each match will consist of one round of 18 holes except the Final which will be over 36 holes.

Did any of you catch this excellent article in the New York Times last week: Diabetes Case Shows Pitfalls of Treatment Guidelines? I was surprised to see very little blog chatter on it. It's a fascinating summary of the recent controversy over national blood sugar guidelines, sparked primarily by the ACCORD study that scared everybody off tight glucose control last summer.
The article explains how the benchmark for aggressive control of blood sugar was abruptly withdrawn, amidst fear that "lowering glucose too quickly or too much in some patients could harm or even kill them." I've published quite a bit about experts' counter-opinions here, namely that too-tight control is certainly ill-advised for some patients, who are very high risk for heart disease, and taking a host of other meds, etc. It's just a damn shame that the media frenzy over this study shot out so many erroneous messages (see here).
The plot thickens:
This latest NYT article introduces two new sticky issues to the debate, namely Conflict of Interest, and the definition of "Good Evidence."
Critics suggest that pharmaceutical companies influenced the low A1c guideline so they could sell more of their glucose-lowering drugs. It seems that the standards committee, the National Committee for Quality Assurance, indeed received about $3 million, or 10 percent of its revenue, last year from drug and medical device makers. Hmm.
"The main problem is that many guidelines are based not on rigorous studies like clinical trials but on weaker types of medical evidence," the article notes. The implication is that trying to bring the average diabetic's A1c level down to that of a person without diabetes can be potentially dangerous, and hasn't been studied enough with the right populations and methodologies.
Now in place is "a more a more nuanced guideline that, among other things, exempts patients over 55 years old with heart or cardiovascular problems."
For my part, I have two takeaways here:
1) More oversight of Pharma's role? Due to the way our system is historically and financially organized, conflict of interest is an ongoing, deeply embedded issue in medical research here. Pharma companies' involvement is not going to disappear any time soon. So rather than even attempting to chase them out, I wonder if these standards organizations could also be responsible for setting up strict guidelines on study methodology, to protect against "drug bias" by sponsoring organizations?
2) Watch those messages! As a person with diabetes, who now is in contact with scores of Type 2 patients who know very little about how to stay healthy with this disease, this whole issue still makes me want to scream! Unfortunately, the mainstream media message heard across the country here was "tight blood glucose control is now proven to be 'bad for you.'" How do you explain to somebody with an A1c of 10 or higher that it's not only safe, but imperative to their health to lower their glucose levels ASAP?
We've got your "Good Evidence" right here…

Sardinia beach holiday
Flamingo Hotel, southern Sardinia
Private beach resort in Sardinia with flights, transfers full-board and a choice between seven or 14 nights
With over 1,000 miles of unspoilt coastline, Sardinia is one of the most beautiful countries in the Mediterranean. Marked by its warm lagoons, white sands and wide, secluded bays, Italy's sleepiest island is a traveller's paradise - and the four-star Flamingo Hotel Resort gives you a perfect view of (and direct access to) those turquoise waters.
Facing its own private stretch of white sand, this edenic four-star hideaway offers stylish accommodation in luscious natural surroundings. The hotel is concealed by gorgeous greenery and a backdrop of pretty hills, creating a quiet, exclusive place to relax. Inside, the design reflects the island setting - calm, harmonious and understated, with fresh bouquets in each room.
Though it somehow seems fitting to paddle up to the island in a small fishing boat, delirious from days at sea - we've sorted out an easier way for you to get here. We're offering a seven or 14-night getaway on a full-board basis and with flights from London Heathrow or Manchester. Return flights that is - we're sort-of obliged to bring you home again. We also have child rates available and the option to upgrade to a Sea-View room. Contact us on firstname.lastname@example.com for prices and availability.

Thousands Turn out for Centerville's Americana Festival
CENTERVILLE -- Fireworks are going off across the Miami Volley Friday night, but one of the biggest Fourth of July celebrations went on in Centerville.
As we celebrate our country's independence, some celebrate those who served, and who are still serving.
Nothing is more American than Frank Sinatra, except maybe this....
"USA! USA! USA!" shouted a group of kids.
The night started for many at the Americana Festival in Centerville, where those big
"I love the Americana Festival, I usually wear this," said Mary Ellen McCarthy.
And small showed off their American pride.
But of course, the anticipation of the boom of fireworks, brought in crowds at the high school.
"I really like the fireworks," said Abigail Hill.
"Huge fireworks," said Seth Harbaugh.
"That's really what we're looking forward to, so hopefully they give us a good show," said Samuel Bud.
For Samuel Bud, Independence Day is more than spending quality time with family and friends.
"It means a lot to me I was a combat veteran at 19 years old I spent six and a half years in the marines. So I am very patriotic," said Bud.
"Happy Fourth of July!" said Zoe Gross.
Jeanie Napier and her family are also patriotic with her husband and dad, both former veterans of war.
"We remember what they did always and very grateful to the military that we have right now, can't thank them enough," said Jeanie Napier.

Nokia N96 leaked photos give us a glimpse of next year's hot phone
These leaked photos are allegedly of the upcoming N96 from Nokia, the update to the highly popular N95 smartphone that was released here in the States earlier this year. The new phone is a dual slider, with a horizontal slide revealing a full keyboard while a vertical slide reveals the keypad.
In addition to the form factor (and the super-slick piano-black finish… wow), it's loaded up with a 5-megapixel camera with a flash made up of two bright LEDs. Not a lot is known about it otherwise, but it's sure to have speedy 3G access for Web browsing, a robust media player, and who knows what else. It's rumored to be announced in February, so keep your eyes peeled.

Our Mission is to Help Those Who Need It
Domestic violence can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, socio-economic background or any other factor. In essence, abuse is about the need of one person to control another.
Although violence is often involved in abuse, there are other forms of such control that do not overtly use violence, such as emotional and financial abuse. This sometimes makes it more difficult for a victim to identify the behaviour as abusive.Unfortunately this type of abuse often progresses and becomes physically violent. Everyone deserves the right to live a life free of violence.

Can I Medicate my Marriage?
Posted on | May 4, 2010 | 27 Comments
My marriage is in trouble.
There. I said it. And it hurt to say. It hurts worse to know that it's true. In fact, going to North Carolina while Husband went to Florida gave rise to the first time in a long time that I remembered all the wonderful things that made me fall in love with him and made me miss him terribly. I hope he felt the same.
But that doesn't mean that things are magically better.
It's hard to even type that things are tough. I am, by nature, pretty private when it comes to personal things. Not that you'd know it by the whole blogging thing, but I really am. I tend to put on a show like everything is perfect and wonderful until I collapse with the weight of all the pretense.
But this time? I'm trying to change that. I'm trying to step outside myself and realize that I can't pretend this away. I can't pretend that things are going to get better without paying some serious attention to the details of my marriage. First and foremost, Husband and I need to start communicating. We sat down tonight while J was falling asleep, and really talked for the first time in a long time. Usually conversations these days lead to either pouting (me) or semi-anger (him) but we managed to actually TALK for a change.
Let me interject for a moment and say that ANYTIME I talk about my marriage on this blog, I clear it with Husband first. I don't want anyone to think I'm using this as a way to circumvent talking to him… I just want to be honest with you all because so many things get swept under the proverbial rug. I've said it before and I can't say it enough… marriage is tough. It is WORK to keep it going. And introducing a baby into the mix is like throwing a boulder to someone who is drowning. It's not going to save anything and it might make you sink faster.
The thing is? I love my husband. 100% fall down on my knees and thank God for him, love him. He is the only person probably in the world who could handle my brand of crazy. But loving him completely? That's not always enough. We're not doing anything to show each other that love right now and that has to change. Having J turned me from a wife into a mother…and they can't be mutually exclusive. I have to figure out a way to be both… and I think I may need a lot of help with that.
It's hard to wear so many different hats. It's hard to get up at 6 and be "mommy" for a few hours, then slap on a suit and be "lawyer" at work until I get home. Then it's back to "mommy" until bed time, and … who am I kidding… on into the night. I don't know where I put my "wife" hat or when I'll find time to put it on. Why do all these people have to be so … different? Why am I a different mother than lawyer? I couldn't tell you. I don't know why there isn't a way to meld them into one complete person… maybe there is. Maybe I'm just too new at this to get it sorted out. And being a wife? I barely had that figured out before we had J. We were only married for a year when I got pregnant. Maybe that was just too soon for us. I just don't know anymore.
But the bottom line? I miss my husband. And I think he misses me, too.
I'm not trying to say that we're headed for divorce, because dammit, I WILL make this work. Divorce is not an option. But I'm scared. I don't know how to fix what's broken, I just know that it's broken and needs to be fixed. Maybe there's a "handy woman" hat somewhere in my arsenal?
Marriage after a baby is hard. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. This would be a lot easier if they made a happy pill for marriages.

Stylish Librarians
posted September 20, 2012 8:57 AM by Chelsea Delnero
A fellow student complimented my shoe choice last week. She noted that many of the GSLIS West students were stylish. I thought about it and realized that she was not only right about GSLIS West students, but librarians in general. The times, they are a-changin' and so are libraries and the image of librarians.
Gone are the days of the "shush"ing librarian.
Gone also, is her pencil skirt and tightly pulled-back hair.
As libraries across the country morph into modern hubs for technology, learning and socializing, librarians are keeping up with hip wardrobes. Of course, within dress-code allowances. I decided to look into this further and found that there are actually entire blogs just about library fashion. One called, "Librarian Wardrobe," comes with the tag line, "Not always buns and sensible shoes." The blog features men and women who work in libraries and aren't afraid to show a little flair now and then. Forget typical work-wear, these folks are wearing bright colors, fun accessories and anything from flats to five-inch heels.
I think librarians (even archivists and historians!) are pretty creative people. And so our wardrobes follow suit (heh...get it?). Even the gentlemen are spicing it up with bow-ties and blazers. We are always asking questions and finding new ways to get the answers. We push the envelope as far as making technology work for us and apparently our appearances are doing the same.
Maybe this seems trivial, but I can't help wondering who was hip first: the library or the librarian?
Check out these library fashion blogs. You'll see that not only are we breaking the mold of the stern and sensible librarian, we are also a diverse and creative bunch. Enjoy!

Dazzle DVC 100 DVD Recorder Review
Dazzle DVC 100
Isn't it great to have a collection of your old movies? Are you looking for a way to archive your old DVD collection? Dazzle DVC 100 DVD recorder is the best tool to create a repository of your old movies. The device is prepared with easy to use interface and user friendly features. The software is designed for bulk archiving and similar purposes. We are going to discuss some major features and key functionalities of the software.
Design of Dazzle DVC 100
One of the most exciting and promising feature of the kit is the ease of use. You can get it running in less than 5 minutes. The package consists of DVD software and high speed USB 2.0 transfer which makes it easy to use. The device is equipped with multiple outputs and you can use it on any AV equipment in your house. The inputs have standard color on them and you can use the device without any special instruction manual. You can even find pinnacle studio 10 along with the software.
Key features of Dazzle DVD Recorder
You do not need to be a technical expert for running the software. Simply take out the Software DVD and Install it on your system. Once the software is installed, add the device to your machine and install it with the given procedure. Make sure that the software is installed prior to setting up the device with the machine. Add the device and it will detect Dazzle DVC 100 driver automatically. The software is compatible with Windows Vista. Next, you have to add the video output source and add any device according to your choice. You have to arrange cables to make the connection as the package does not contain any S-Video cables along with it.
The package is designed with wizards for every feature and you don't have to figure out even a single step. But if you are planning to use Dazzle capture card for copy protected material then this is not the right tool for you.
Tips for running software smoothly
These are some of the tips which will help you to run the package smoothly:
- Use the device with high end machine so as to get best result. Minimum configuration to run the software smoothly includes P4 processor running at 3 GHz with minimum of 1 GB memory.
- Arrange an S-Video output device and the best one is to get a VCR which is available in almost every house.
- Make sure install the latest version of software and the driver should be compatible with your machine (64-bit or 32-bit).
- You would need a REAL video editor and avoid using the package software. You can use ULEAD for importing the video.
Dazzle DVC 100 has some common issues as reported by the users and let us find out some of these issues in detail. First of all there are no official instructions provided with the software and since it is not a plug and play device so that's a huge issue. Secondly the software is unable to recognize DVD at first and some of the users have found an error while writing the DVD. Moreover there is no sync between the video and audio in the DVD produced with the software which can be really irritating.
Every product has its positive and negative aspects and so do dazzle DVC 100. So if you are looking to get your DVDs archived, then it can be a good product for you. Make sure to read the instructions beforehand and consult internet and tech-support provided by the company.

The European Equity Fund, Inc. And The New Germany Fund, Inc. Announce Results Of Tender Offer Measurement Period
The European Equity Fund, Inc. (NYSE: EEA) and The New Germany Fund, Inc. (NYSE: GF) (each, a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") announced today the results of a twelve-week measurement period that began on March 5, 2012 and concluded on Friday, May 25, 2012, in accordance with the Funds' previously announced Discount Management Program (the "Program"). At the conclusion of the measurement period, shares of common stock of EEA had traded at an average discount to net asset value ("NAV") of -10.17% and shares of common stock of GF had traded at an average discount to NAV of -10.51 %, in each case during the twelve-week measurement period. The terms of the Program require a Fund to conduct a tender offer if its shares trade at an average discount to NAV of more than 10% during the applicable twelve-week measurement period. Therefore, each of EEA and GF will conduct its respective tender offer for up to 5% of its outstanding shares at a price equal to 98% of NAV. Details concerning the tender offers for EEA and GF will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
For more information on EEA or GF, including the most recent month-end performance, visit www.dws-investments.com or call (800) 349-4281 or 00-800-2287-2750 from outside the US.
The European Equity Fund, Inc. is a diversified, closed-end investment company seeking long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily (normally at least 80% of its assets) in equity or equity-linked securities of companies domiciled in European countries utilizing the Euro currency. Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly.
The New Germany Fund, Inc. is a diversified, closed-end investment company seeking capital appreciation primarily through investment in equity or equity-linked securities of small and mid-cap German companies. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in large cap German companies and up to 20% in other Western European companies. Investing in foreign securities presents certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly.Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to the net asset value. The price of a fund's shares is determined by a number of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund. Therefore, a fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at, below or above net asset value. There can be no assurance that the Program will be effective in reducing the Funds' market discounts. Investments in funds involve risk. Additional risks are associated with international investing, such as government regulations and differences in liquidity, which may increase the volatility of your investment. Foreign security markets generally exhibit greater price volatility and are less liquid than the US market. Additionally, these funds focus their investments in certain geographical regions, thereby increasing their vulnerability to developments in that region and potentially subjecting the funds' shares to greater price volatility. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries). This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction.

Shakira Shares First Snapshot of Baby Boy in Ultrasound (VIDEO & PHOTO)
Shakira's baby boy hasn't arrived yet, but he's ready for his close up.
Just a week after the expectant mama showed off her pregnant belly with boyfriend Gerard Piqué on Instagram, the couple have shared the baby's first ultrasound picture.
"His first pic! #excited #cute," Pique wrote on his WhoSay account, along with photo.
In October, Shakira, 35, revealed the sex of their baby during an interview with German TV's RTL. And from the sounds of it, she's already got big plans for her little one.
"When the baby is born, I'll take him with me on charity trips . . . he shall learn that he is able to change the world," she said.
Shakira and Piqué first met in 2010 when he was hired to star in her music video for "Waka Waka," the South African World Cup theme song. The pair did not confirm their relationship until March 2011, when she called him her "sunshine" in Spanish on her Facebook account.
What do you think about the first picture of Shakira's baby? Share your thoughts below.

The nice thing about hdtv is that they cost alot less than an equivalent sized pc monitor. I will specifically be using this for programming and graphics (photoshop, etc). I'm just wondering if HDTV is bad if I use it as a workstation b/c maybe it's worse for the eyes or not really good for programming (b/c maybe the fonts won't be crisp enough), etc. Any thoughts?

Of Rats and Men
Using cutting-edge virtual reality technology, computer scientists at UCL and the University of Barcelona have "beamed" a person into a rat facility allowing the rat and human to interact with each other on the same scale.
Published in PLOS ONE, the research enables the rat to interact with a rat-sized robot controlled by a human participant in a different location. At the same time, the human participant (who is in a virtual environment) interacts with a human-sized avatar that is controlled by the movements of the distant rat. The authors hope the new technology will be used to study animal behaviour in a completely new way.
Professor Mandayam Srinivasan, author of the paper from the UCL Department of Computer Science and MIT, said: "Beaming is a step beyond approaches such as video conferencing which do not give participants the physical sensation of being in the same shared space, and certainly not the physical capability to actually carry out actions in that space."
