Wicked author Gregory Maguire speaks at national Children's Literature Conference held at Simmons College
More than 400 scholars, critics, and literary professionals are expected to attend the 39th Annual Children's Literature Association Conference hosted by Simmons College and featuring renown author Gregory Maguire. Maguire is a Simmons alumnus and former children's literature professor whose book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West was adapted into a hit Broadway play.
The three-day national conference will be held June 14-16 and Maguire will deliver the distinguished Francelia Butler Lecture on Friday, June 15.
SIMMONS Magazine recently caught up with Maguire who credits Simmons with expanding his literary viewpoint while also honing his skills as an author and storyteller:
"I had splendid professors at Simmons: kind, devoted to students individually, knowledgeable without being lofty, inclusive," says Maguire. "They taught me, by their example, not just to know the subject, but to know how to think further, ask deeper questions, and, incidentally, quite a bit about how to teach."

With the upcoming presidential election, it seems that everyone is talking about the "War on Women." As a women's college that has a track record of caring and speaking out about women's issues, we have to ask ourselves: why is this happening? We sat down with our resident expert in U.S. politics, Associate Professor of Political Science Leanne Doherty, to find out what's really going on.
When media say the election is going to be decided by women, it's married women who tend to vote Republican who are now siding with President Obama and the Democratic Party based on arguments about contraception and equal pay. This is probably going to change now that Mitt Romney is the nominee, because he is going to have to bring it back to the center a little more. He is in a tough situation because the rhetoric has been so far right of center.
Dr. Leanne Doherty's teaching is centered around the American political system, with a concentration on gender and politics, popular culture, and public policy.
This is going to be an interesting election, and we'll be following it closely. We'd love to hear what you think about the "War on Women." Leave comments below, Tweet to @SimmonsCollege, or share your thoughts on the Simmons College Facebook Timeline.

Watch the video created by Simmons College to contribute to the It Gets Better Campaign in support of The Trevor Project, an organization aimed at preventing suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer youth.
Columnist and author Dan Savage and his partner Terry Miller launched the It Gets Better campaign as a response to a rash of LGBTQ suicides, which were the result of bullying and harassment at schools and campuses across the country. The project aims to turn the tide of self-destruction by reaching vulnerable youth with the voices of survival and accomplishment. This video is Simmons' contribution to this important effort, by adding our voices of hope, encouragement, and achievement.
Simmons student ambassador Sarah O'Reilly '14 was involved with the project at Simmons from the beginning. She says movements like this are so important for college campuses.
"College is the place and time in which people start to grow into the people that they will live their lives as," says Sarah. "This project gives the people who have been voiceless in the past a way to speak out and be a part of a positive force in the community. It also helps to show people the parts of their own lives that are getting better and raises awareness of discriminations and hateful behavior."
Simmons' It Gets Better team is hoping this project will continue to grow, and create open dialogues around LGBTQ issues. To follow the movement at Simmons be sure to Like the Simmons College It Gets Better Facebook page and watch full interviews of the project's participants on the Simmons College It Gets Better YouTube channel.

Many students say they decided to attend Simmons because it just "felt right" when they first visited the campus. It's often hard to communicate that feeling, so it's important to come and visit Simmons to experience it for yourself. Meeting professors, talking to current students, and seeing what it's really like to attend a women's college in Boston will have a major impact on your decision. Here are four reasons to come visit the Simmons College campus:
- Get to know Boston.
Boston is a big city with more than 40 colleges and universities. Many students choose to come to Boston because of the vibrant college life. But, it's important to see where in the city you'd be living. Get to know the Fenway neighborhood. Walk down the street to Fenway Park or next door to the Museum of Fine Arts. Take the T to the Prudential Center and do some shopping. Decide if you can picture yourself living here for the next four years.
- Meet the professors.
If you come visit Simmons, you have the option to sit it on a class and see one of our amazing professors in action. Simmons is a small college with a 13:1 student to faculty ratio. Our professors really get to know their students and care about their academic performance. Get to know Simmons professors!
- Get a sense of the community.
We know there are many preconceived notions about women's colleges. Come see for yourself what it's really like. See if you get that "just right" feeling like so many other students do when they experience Simmons-ness for themselves.
- See the campus.
Moving out on your own for the first time can be scary, especially moving to a major city. The Simmons campus takes every precaution to keep you safe. The residence campus is a gated community with nine residence halls, an athletic center, and a dining hall. Take a tour and test out the food. Talk to students about what campus life is like and see the dorms.
You can plan your visit to Simmons online. In the meantime, contact your admission counselor with any questions, and be sure to Like Simmons on Facebook and follow the College on Twitter to hear from and interact with other prospective and current students.
As acceptance letters (hopefully!) start pouring in, high school seniors are faced with the task of picking the right college. It's important to think about what type of environment will help shape you into the person you want to become. It's a tough choice, and with so many colleges and universities out there, where do you even start?
- Size
It is important to know if you want to attend a large or small college. Both options have their pros and cons. If you like personalized attention and the opportunity to build relationships with your professors, then a small college or university is right for you. At Simmons, our student to faculty ratio is 13:1, so students are never just a face in the crowd.
- Location
Would you rather be in a small town with your campus as your go-to for everyday life, or would you rather be located in a city with tons of other college students and plenty to do in the area surrounding your campus? Many people are more prone to a country-like location, but others crave the hustle and bustle of the big city. Simmons is located right in the heart of Boston, America's college town. The city is full of activities.
- Programs
Of course, if you know what you want to major in, or concentrate on during college, you need to make sure the college you choose has a reputable program in your major. Simmons has more than 50 undergraduate majors and programs. Many athletes choose Simmons because they're able to play Division III athletics while pursuing a physical therapy or nursing degree from a world-renowned institution.

The Chemistry Department at Simmons is doing something incredible! Students are conducting serious research and are being asked to present their findings at national conferences. Since Simmons is committed to going green, this particular project is important.
Science students are taking the plastic cups that are distributed around the Simmons campus and turning them into a cleaning solution that is comparable to Lysol, 4-in-1 all-purpose cleaner, and other similar products. The Cups to Cleaners: Trash to Treasure project was spearheaded last year by Cassandra Cocoq '10 who worked on the project as her senior thesis, under the tutelage of Associate Professor and Department Chair Rich Gurney.

Design Professor Judith Aronson's intimate portraits of poets and artists from her book Likenesses caught some major attention this summer when she was asked to showcase her work at Christ Church - one of the largest colleges in the University of Oxford. Deirdre in the communications department tells us more:
Aronson was amazed when she arrived at Oxford to help hang the show and saw where her photographs would be shown. The curator, Jacqueline Thalmann, pointed at a famous Salvator Rosa and said that it was going to be replaced with two of Aronson's color photographs. She then watched as Thalmann directed gallery workers to move all of the Michelangelo and da Vinci works out of the drawing gallery to make room for her show.
The exhibition runs until October 19, but since many of us can't make it to the UK (bummer!), Judith is holding a reception and book signing for Likenesses on Wednesday Nov. 3 at 5:45 p.m. in the Trustman Art Gallery.
Time magazine recently interviewed our resident expert on diet and nutrition, Professor Teresa Fung, for a segment they produced about the importance of eating a well-balanced diet. In the video, Teresa talks about her new study, which found that people tend to live longer if they get more of their protein from veggies rather than from meat (when associated with a low-carb diet). Interesting, right? Watch the video to learn more about her research and to hear some tips about what to look for when shopping at the grocery store.
P.S. Anyone else dying to go to that store? It looks amazing!
On Friday, I mentioned that the SOM's entrepreneurship program was ranked one of the top 25 programs in the entire nation. But, what's even more exciting is that it's the only program designed specifically for women to make the list.
Later that day, SOM Professor Teresa Nelson joined NECN's Laytoia Edwards to discuss exactly how we tailor our program to meet the needs of women. She says the SOM's program is unique because it focuses on teaching students how to navigate through their social realities. For example, women entrepreneurs typically receive less than 10% of venture capital compared with 90% for men. When asked how the SOM helps women tap into more funding, Teresa says we do what any good business school does: we help students to understand what the issues are, build competitive business plans, and how to "talk business." Enjoy!
Congratulations to the School of Management! Its entrepreneurship program was just ranked by Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review as one of the nation's top 25 programs. A big deal considering it's the only program on the list specifically designed for women.
We shot this video last year (when we introduced the entrepreneurship minor) of SOM Professor Susan Duffy, who says teaching entrepreneurship at Simmons is important because entrepreneurship is the "great equal opportunity employer." She says anyone can be an entrepreneur! Even me? You know, I have been wanting to start up my own 24-hour coffee shop/lounge in Charlestown... hmmm... *wheels spinning*... At any rate, Susan says the time for women entrepreneurs is now, so what better place to gain the knowledge and skills than at Simmons? After all, it is one of the best!
If you ever need a reminder of why you should be proud to be a Simmons student, just look to our own research legend, Emerita Professor Helen Reinherz, Sc.D. Dr. Reinherz was the director of the Simmons College Longitudinal Study from 1977 until July 1 of this year. Today she was honored for her 33 years of groundbreaking research.
Professor Reinherz spoke this morning to a small crowd of family, friends, and colleagues about the ups and downs she experienced throughout the years. You wouldn't believe that she could barely think of a negative experience - her attitude was 100% positive.
"So, I was thinking about lessons learned and true to my own overly optimistic nature, I could only think about the positive things I learned."
Since Professor Reinherz began a career in social work, her passions have been the prevention and treatment of mental health problems. The Longitudinal Study is one of the longest running community studies in the United States. Over the past 33 years, the study has followed a working class community group as they grew from five-year-old children entering kindergarten to adults starting their own lives and families.
The study has published over 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as book chapters. Incredible, right? Results have been shared all over the world! Isn't it amazing to be part of a community that is producing such significant contributions to society?
Continue reading A pioneer in social work.
[Ed. note: Professor Teresa Fung's study also made headlines this week in The New York Times: "Nutrition: Risky Additions to a Low-Carb Diet"]
I've been noticing many changes in The Fens and Java City. For example, in The Fens, my much-loved mango smoothies have been replaced by a fresh-rolled sushi station (I'll take it!) and on some days you can make your own yogurt parfait (I'll take that, too). The Fens also has an assemble-your-own mediterranean bar with hummus, tabouli, and pita bread, and although Freshens is gone, rumor has it that we can get froyo by the ounce at a "Healthy Balance" station. Anyone know if this is happening, yet? I need my afternoon pick-me-up!
Another big change is... wait for it...

Health Tip: Don't Leave Kids in the Car Alone
(HealthDay News) -- Temperatures inside a car with the windows closed or nearly closed can skyrocket quickly. This can lead to life-threatening hyperthermia (heat stroke).
So caregivers must never leave children inside a car, even on a cloudy day.
The Safe Kids USA website offers these safety reminders:
Never leave your child alone inside a car, even for a minute.
Always lock your car and trunk when you leave, which will prevent a child from entering a hot car.
Let other caregivers know when you have dropped your child off somewhere.
Place your purse, briefcase, phone or other necessary item in the backseat next to your child. This will prevent you from leaving your child in the car by mistake.

How do we at Greenhouse Grower put together a content plan? Here are some details
Cornell's Margery Daughtrey shares advice on best practices for keeping diseases off your crops and out of the greenhouse.
When you're a manufacturer, retailer or service provider, trying something new with an open mind is almost mandatory these days, whether that be a new product, event or marketing, says contributing editor Sara Tambascio. And new is even better when people who don't know your brand find out about it and like it.

Your cellphone knows where you'll be tomorrow within 60 feet
People are boring and predictable. We have routines that we follow, and even when we break those routines, we do it in the same ways over and over. Using tracking data from volunteers with cellphones and their friends, researchers are able to exploit this to predict where we'll go next, with an accuracy of 60 feet.
If you think about it, your day-to-day schedule is probably predictable without any fancy cellphone tracking tricks. There are set times when you're at home, set times when you're at work, and besides the set times when you're somewhere in between the two plus a few other consistent activities (grocery shopping, the gym, or whatever), nothing much else happens unless your life is far more interesting than the vast majority of people out there. Using just a simple analysis of your past actions, it's fairly easy to predict where you'll be at any given time, except for those rare occasions when you do something CRAZY like go out to dinner. And this is where most predictive tracking algorithms break down: when you throw social events into the mix.
Cellphones, however, are social tools, and researchers from the University of Birmingham took advantage of this to vastly improve predictive tracking accuracy to win Nokia's Mobile Data Challenge. By looking at the location history of one person and combining it with the location history of other people in their address book, this new algorithm can make 24 hour location predictions with an average accuracy of about 20 meters. This is several orders of magnitude better than other algorithms which don't incorporate a social element, and is easily accurate enough to target a SWAT team or drone strike, if you're in to that sort of thing.
Yeah, the obvious worry here is privacy, but if you don't have anything to hide, there's also a lot of potential for predictive location-based services. The researchers suggest a service like Groupon, except since your phone knows where you're headed, it can offer you deals close to where you'll probably be. It would be a compromise, but a compromise that users could make knowingly: an exchange of privacy for better services. Or maybe this is all just a not-so-subtle hint that if your phone can predict your location within 20 meters over a 24 hour period, you really need to get out more.

When we stop counting 17 completely different 9.90 cars in 20 yrs that where purchased as incomplete financially distressed sales rollers and turned over in a resale for a profit after finishing them and a yr of racing turning it into a winner with the slips to prove it. Very good sponsorship deals for all but three yrs.Sales of overstock parts and refurnished high performance hard core parts.Built and sold engines for both the street and strip.Close association with many of the parts manufactures.In the business for what,40 yrs.Winner of a national event in Canada.Top 4 finish at a IHRA regional event.Current car has a 632 BBC Alky on the bottle alittle which we are very proud of to after all these yrs have built ourselfs up to.It's a 50k engine.Back up engine is a 565 BBC.Either my partner nor I drive the car anymore.There is a driver.Sum that up is both of us have gotten too old.
Me I have been involved in cars since I was 10 yrs old and I am 65 now.So what's that??.55 yrs.Came out of the ranks of mid ET bracket cars of various brackets.And yes I sure do miss that.Huge supporter of someone who is building a low 13/high 12 second car.Lots of rounds of competition and tons of fun.Many,many street hot rods over the yrs.
That's about it for now.
I have done a lot of four valve and five valve heads in my day and i used to charge a crap load of money for it. To guys that had flow benches trust me 5% difference in ports would result in never hearing from that customer again cause his heads would perform less than stock heads.
Stock chevy and ford castings are so bad its easy to pick up a few hp. But i dont recommend you do it at home first time on your only working set of heads. Either do it rigth with a stack of practise heads and get the proper tools or get better heads. Knocking down ford exhuast bumps or other large casting marks is easy but most people go way to far and loose sight of the job before the first port is complete.
Its not hard to do a good port job at home but it does take some practise. And lots more practise and sometimes even a really bad port job will make some good power.
Qualifications? None.....
I grew up in a "car" family
I'm not afraid to listen, to ALL opinions.
I will then form my own, and if I feel the info has merit I will gladly try it.
I have done a few total rebuilds with friends and lots of help
I have rebuilt two of my own with friends and lots of help
I have done a simple top end rebuild, cam, heads etc,on many of my own
I have spent 40+ hours porting those ridiculous heads you seem so offended by
I have had 5 cars in the last 3 years, all of them changed, rebuilt, finished, by me
Al of them worked well, are still working well and are being enjoyed often.
All of my stuff has done exactly what was intended. Be better, faster, and more fun then when I got it.
You need to learn to listen....its not always about what a piece of paper says, and your formulating an opinion with what? Four posts and a month on here?
The three best assets I have actually learned form have been FBird, Vinnie,and Tech Inspecter, they all have a different view, they don't always get along, and may even come across brash or rude at times....its the interweb kid, deal with it. But pay attention, any of them will help and teach you plenty if you stop getting sand in your vgina and actually listen.
And that wasn't a slight on anyone else's opinions, or offer to help....to be clear....there's many many talented, knowledgeable guys on here....I mentioned the 3 that have helped me tremendously, and clearly know their sht, and have had to listen to "I need help" pm's from me and have taken the time to do so....
I can tell you this, not one port on any nascar 357 is the same and there is a purpose for it..
a cnc'd head with mirrored ports will slow the cars.. with a single plane intake.. let them run 8 throttle bodys over each cyl. then mirrored would win out.. not untill
Yeah but NASCAR has always had odd ball combo's.I bought at the Indy Drag Racers auction a NASCAR 4.3 and had contact with them until it was done.It is the reason why the teams start with rough forgings or a blank slate. We had been going to that auction for yrs and there was time when Indy cylinder heads ran the event.We got to know them and saw some of their exotic workmanship.Just works of art.
No, 1Gary, that was not directed at you. And no, bygddy, it wasn't directed at you, even though for some reason you felt you had to reply after I said that the things you enjoyed with your boy while porting the heads justified it, but if you want' to continue to make a pissing match about it, by all means have at it.
It was directed to F-Bird88. I'd like to see the qualifications that he feels entitles him to talk down to people and say that his builds are the gospel. From what I've seen, he's no more qualified than anybody else. He just posts the most and the "loudest".
And what it cost you total cost.
Then do it again. Same experiment: Port the head, install the valves and test on a flow bench and then on a 350 test engine.
Even compare other heads to the heads you did, on the same 350 engine.
Put it on a dyno, run it down the drag strip, run it around a dirt track, hell just run it around on the street and see how you like it. Good or bad. Better or worse. than a stock head, than a vortec head or any other head you can dig up, beg borrow or steal. Bolt hem all on a try them out. good or bad expensive or cheap.
Test your heads, try a few friends best or worst efforts.
In other words put it to the test, yourself.
Until you have DONE IT YOURSELF you don;t know.
If/ when you were to actually do it for yourself, you will find your result will be real close to everything I said it will be. Hell, maybe better.
To start, just do one intake port on the head and get it flow tested.
rough in a 1.94" valve job and test with a old 1.94" valve on the flow bench.
Come back here and tell me I'm wrong.
Try to disprove it. By doing it.
I don't need your qualifications.. I trust ya.
Note: When you have done that,, we can compare qualifications.

In fact go thru any of my old posts and follow the specific advise, recomendation, or recipe I offered,
exactly as stated, on what ever that question or problem was and DO IT YOUR SELF. And bring the results back here, YOUR RESULTS.
In other words DO it your self and try to see if it came out any different than I said It will.
Try to disprove what I said or advised. By doing it yourself to either prove it or disprove it.
We'll be waiting.

The difference between me and Bydggy and you, is this.
We have both done this, ourselves. Already. And you have not...yet...
Thats a big difference. And all the qualification needed.
No, the difference between you and I is I'm smart enough not to waste my time trying to turn boat anchors into gold.
Yeah, just as I thought. No qualifications or certs to back up what you say? Did you even graduate from high school or have you spent your entire life on here accumulating 7300 posts on here acting like you invented the internal combustion engine? I hear there's an ignore list. You're on it for sure and I hope others put you on theirs. You just give plain old bad advice with an attitude.
I'm still waiting. And I have been insulted before. It didn't work. SO go find a set of the heads and get to it.
I'll be here.... Have a great day.
Kid, you are clearly ignorant, F-BIRD'88 is a wealth of knowledge here.
You should take some time and refer back to some of his numerous posts and you will realise that his opinions are matter of fact and that advice that he generously offers to people here is good advice that actually facking works!
He has helped me and others tremendously.
This thread has gotten way of track and I hope the OP has gotten the information that he sought and some giggles along the way!

Has to be a stock GM 350 cast crankshaft that was broke by running it in YOUR 350 using a Weiand 177 supercharger on that motor.

Tinie Tempah Teams With Wiz Khalifa for Second U.S. Single
Tinie Tempah hopped on the official U.K. remix to Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow," and the Pittsburgh spitter is returning the favor. The British rapper links back up with the Taylor Gang leader for his next stateside single "Till I'm Gone" off his U.S. debut Disc-Overy.
During a visit to MTV's "The Seven," the "Written in the Stars" hitmaker shared how the Stargate-produced collabo reflects their rigorous touring schedules. "The song is just about the fact that I'm always on the road. I'm right here in America right now, but I kind of miss home sometimes," he explained. "It's just saying I'm going to do what I'm doing, make sure I'm getting as big as I can be, but don't worry England. You've still got my heart."
Disc-Overy, due May 17 in the U.S., will include "Till I'm Gone" as well as two other new tracks not found on the U.K. release. Kelly Rowland, Eric Turner, Range, Ellie Goulding, and more make guest appearances.

Celtics potential draft pick: James Anderson
James Anderson is one player the Celtics have worked out, according to CSNNE's A. Sherrod Blakely. Using my own personal knowledge and a thorough research process including a few websites, most notably Draft Express and NBADraft.net, here's a scouting report of Anderson:
Draft Express: 30th pick NBADraft.net: 19th pick (to the Celtics)
Anderson is first and foremost a scorer. Known primarily as a shooter, he is far more than that. Possessing an ability to create space and get off shots, Anderson can create off the dribble and has a nice mid-range game. The only aspect of his offensive game that is lacking is an ability to get all the way to the rim; Anderson's ball-handling skills (especially with his right hand) leave some to be desired and often lead to him settling for jumpers rather than getting all the way to the hole. As Draft Express notes, Anderson's lack of elite ball-handling skills can especially be a problem in transition, where Anderson can struggle to create easy opportunities at the rim. Even though Anderson struggles to find his way all the way to the hoop, he still managed to shoot a very impressive 7.8 free throws per game and maintains a very low turnover rate.
Despite what NBADraft.net describes as "the skill set of a lockdown defender with his lateral quickness, length and dedication to the defensive side of the ball," Anderson's defensive struggles are the biggest weakness in his game. Draft Express describes his defensive skills as follows: "The biggest chink in Anderson's armor and the main thing holding him back from being able to project him as an outstanding NBA role-player has always been his play on the defensive end. Unfortunately, not much seems to have changed this year. Anderson isn't much of a presence at all on the perimeter, looking very upright in his stance and showing below average lateral quickness, getting beat on a regular basis off the dribble by fairly mediocre college slashers. He doesn't use his body well enough, lacks a significant degree of physicality in his approach, and does not utilize his length at all to contest opponents' shots. It's possible that Anderson looks this way in part due to the fact that he's trying to stay out of foul trouble or because of how heavily Oklahoma State relies on him offensively. Still, it's not a very encouraging sign when projecting him to the NBA level."
Overall, despite the defensive deficiencies he showed in college, Anderson is an intriguing prospect because of his ability to put the ball in the hole. Though his statistics could have been slightly inflated by playing in the high-octane and wide-open offense utilized by coach Travis Ford, Anderson's uber-efficient 22.3 ppg on 45.7% shooting demand attention. In my eyes, he's also a hit-or-miss type prospect: He could either become a very good scorer in the NBA or his shortcomings (notably, ball-handling and defensive chops) could keep him from ever reaching his full potential.
With the Celtics picking 19th and suddenly lacking both big men (due to Rasheed Wallace's potential retirement and Kendrick Perkins' injury) and wing players (Ray Allen, Tony Allen and Marquis Daniels are all free agents and Paul Pierce could opt out of his contract), Anderson would fit a need should Danny Ainge like his game.
One Response to "Celtics potential draft pick: James Anderson"
He's 6′ 6″ , 210 lbs, is 21. James Anderson, observed on you tube, is a good size for a perimeter guard. James undeniably, is a shooter/scorer. 3ball shooting seems little problem with James. In the NBA, a staff assistant truly will need to work with James, on his defense. Perhaps the play most observed, NBA is the pick and roll. A player and a youth, will be severely tested on the perimeter, defensively by this play. (Just ONE example of A PLAY). Boston's Rondo, has been severely tested with this offensive ploy, has been getting some better with, need to utilize (pro-active) "flash-reaction" in handling the pick.And Rondo is a speedster. James Anderson might be a good choice for Boston, at 19th , but there will be lots of defense training at Boston, ahead.

"I was asked to do a reading in a close friend's "beach formal" outdoor wedding. This dress couldn't have been more perfect! The beautiful flower pattern suited the outdoor theme perfectly.
The hemline shows off the best part of my legs and my strappy shoes, while maintaining an elegance that would be appropriate for many occasions. I love the adjustable halter neckline, which is so flattering, and the "H" shaped straps underneath which gave a lot of support and allowed me to get away with wearing a strapless bra. My only complaint was that the straps were to wide across my back, requiring some last minute fussing to avoid it looking sloppy. The dress if fully lined which is great, however I had to be careful as the sheer flower printed fabric could easily catch on things and doesn't have any forgiving stretch.
Overall this is one of my favorite summer dresses ever - much more elegant than a typical sun dress, but the light fabric and design keep it suitable for hot summer days and outdoor events. I know I'll get a lot of use out of this one!"
"I just bought this dress online, and I love it! I found 2 different looks - with simple gold heels and earrings for a professional, sophisticated look, and belted with gold toned flat gladiator sandals to break it up for a younger, more casual, and edgier look.
This dress is so flattering - the below-the-knee length is perfect at my height, and the sleeves are long enough and fitted enough to cover my upper arms and not bunch up. The asymmetric design makes it unique and visually appealing, despite the conservative height of the neckline. The liner stops it from being too clingy, and lumps and bumps are hidden by the flattering rouching. The rouching on the back side also shows off my butt in a really flattering way! And I love the jewel-tone color - flattering with my dark hair and green eyes.
I wore this dress to work, and with a quick change of shoes and accessories it took me straight into my evening which involved an outdoor cocktail party with a pile of clients and other professionals. I got tons of compliments from both men and women. With a cardigan or blazer and tall boots, this dress should take me right into winter.
Love it!!!"

|If all the Aenar are born blind, how come their city is so well lit? I could buy them installing temporary lighting in a few rooms especially for their guests, but in every exterior shot of the city we are shown, there are hundreds of brightly lit windows all over the city!
|Great Moment :
|Trip leaving.
|Body Count :
|A Human cargo ship, the Ticonderoga, is destroyed with all hands. Gareb is killed by Valdore.
|Factoid :
|We learn a bit more about the Andorians in this episode; there is a subspecies of Andorian called The Aenar, who are blind and telepathic. There are very few Aenar, and few Andorians have ever seen one. We also get to see Andoria itself for the first time ever – and we learn that the planet is actually a moon to a ringed giant.
Deciding that Humans are becoming a threat because of their ability to bring the other major species together, the Romulans send two drone ships to find and destroy Enterprise. Meanwhile Phlox determines that the drone was being piloted by an Andorian, prompting Archer and Shran travel to the planet to meet with the Aenar, a telepathic subspecies of the Andorians.
Not quite so good as the previous two, The Aenar is still a reasonable episode. It was interesting to finally see Andoria, especially as it turns out to be a moon. I wonder if this could provide an answer to the whole Andor/Andoria problem – maybe the ringed giant is Andor, and the inhabited moon is Andoria? Then we just assume that when people talk about being from Andor they are referring to the whole planet/moon system...
Anyway, it was reasonably obvious how things were gong to turn out; the moment they decided to send two drone ships after Enterprise I could tell that one of them was going to wind up attacking the other. Still, the battle sequences worked fairly well – I liked the way the drones dodged out of the way of weapons fire in particular.
Overall, a pretty good arc. Not up to The Augments or The Vulcan War arcs, but still this is far better than anything Enterprise did in the first couple of seasons.

I'm 40, separated from H for over 3 yrs, D is in the process. I have 2 kids under 10. Met a single nice guy also 40, 6 mo ago. Seeing each other regularily since then. I get to see him when I don't have the kids, almost every weekend. Very wonderful and affectionate. Very fun to hang with. Totally understands my situation, not rushing me into anything. Here is the problem, yes problems...
He says he looks forward to seeing me, but the day we are supposed to get together he makes me wait, goes out with his friends first and meets up with me later. I have raised concerns about it, says "if I wait all these days to see you, why can't you wait a few more hours."
He usually stays with me, but gets up in the morning and goes out and about then wants to "come home" to me. Either we just hang out at home or he takes me out somewhere. I have raised my concerns again, he says, "I have to wait all these days to be with you, but when I get to see you all at once its too much so I need a break."
When we are apart we don't talk much, just a few calls/texts, raised concerns about that too, says "when I talk to you I want to be with you, but I can't......"
I have met some of his friends, but did not introduce me as his GF, where all my girl friends think he is my BF and he acts like he is, as he has met all of them. I asked him when we were arguing the other day that I need to know where we stand, he said "I don't want to lose you, I like being with you, as a matter of fact I LOVE being with you". I asked him if he loves me he said "Yes" then I asked how come you never say you love me, he said "I don't want you to take advantage of me".
He likes to drink moderately, but when he gets tipsy, always picks a fight about little something, I have broke up with him a few times because of that, so now he is much better with drinking situation.
When we are actually together, he is very attentive, affectionate, caring, and all about me. So now.... what do I do???

If a man couldn't even spend an entire weekend with me because he needed "a break" from me, I wouldn't spend one more second wasted on him. He doesn't want to put a daily effort into a relationship, since he doesn't call you everday, and spending time with his buddies is always his priority before he gives you the time of day. I'd drop him like a hot potato. In my opinion, the bad outweighs the good in this situation. If you dump him and keep on searching for "the one" who will make you his priority and makes you feel like you're actually special, you'll wonder why you stayed so long with "Mr. Wrong." Good luck.

Ok this guy is weird. I was a divorced mom of young kids where I had to wait until they were with their dad to see my then BF--my ex used to work overnight on Friday so he never took the kids for the whole weekend, it was Sat. afternoon to Sunday and then 2 nights during the week. If I made plans to be w/ my BF say at 4:00 on Sat. and then he decided that he'd rather go out with friends and maybe come over at 7:00 I'd be mad. The excuse is ridiculous--if he can't see you for 4-5 days at a time, that means that he has all that time to be with his friends--so he should be looking forward to seeing you. I'd actually wonder if he had another GF or something & couldn't get away. But if I make plans with someone for 6:00 pm on Sat. then I expect that he will honor those plans--I would not just wait around for a guy to show up whenever he felt like it. You have only so much time w/o the kids--so if your BF doesn't want to spend that with you, then I'm sure you could find other fun things to do like go out with your friends and not spend time waiting for him. I think I'd try asking him to make the weekend plans for a certain time and tell him you are no longer going to wait around for some unspecified time--I wouldn't keep giving him more chances on this because he is saying that you're time is not worth anything to him--you are like the 2nd class citizen who has to bend to his needs. And really, after 6 months together, if the weekend is the only time he can spend time w/ you uninterrupted w/ no kids, he'd rather give that up--to do what exactly? Do you really know what he's doing or is it all vague and unspecified? Again, I do wonder if he is being honest with you. I could see if he's a golfer and had this long standing thing where he always played golf every Sat. morning--it wouldn't really be fair to expect him to give up his golf, but is he just running errands? Why couldn't you go with him? By this time, I'd think you'd want to be spending more time together not less. I think I'd probably break up with him, but that's my opinion.

I thought I responded to this last night but I don't see it, so I'll try again. First of all, I think the fact that you haven't met any of his friends in 6 months is strange--aren't there any occasions where you would go on a double date or go to a party where his friends would be there? Are there times when he says he has to be with his friends and you aren't invited? Unless this is always boys night out (and I wouldn't be too sure it is even if he says so) why can't you go along sometimes? That would be a red flag to me--he could still have a girl and maybe some of his buddies know about it (wink, wink, what a player I am). And after someone is over early 20's, I don't buy it that the guy needs to go out with his friends every weekend--no I don't think most people do that after college because most people start to pair up. I have a 24 yr old DD and a lot of times when she's home visiting her friends and they go out in a group, the girls who have BFs bring along the BFs too--I'm sure there are times when all the girls go out and all the guys get together with their friends but I think more of the emphasis is on relationships.
I also don't understand why you think you can't just break up with him because you have been dating 6 monts--that's about the time when you really get to know what someone is really like. so do you think you should stay with him forever now when you've discovered that his behavior is not what you want? I assume you have brought up more than once that you don't like being kept waiting so it shouldn't come as news to him. Start standing up for yourself here--he's probably not going to change, so decide if this is what you want. If not, you just tell him, sorry but I think our lifestyles aren't compatible and I want to date someone who makes more time to be with me. End of story.

Thank you Music. I have met some of his friends, been to a few happy hours, and a double date and hung out at his best buddy's house for a day. the other group hang out he didn't introduce me as his GF. He has taken me to his regular hang out place where he knows all bar tenders, but not with his friends there. There are other boys that he hangs with that I have not met, maybe you are right that the "boys" he hangs out with know his GFs or his pattern? Sometimes I think he's bit insecure about me that his boys will find me attractive?
I have tried to break up with him several times but then we talk about the issues and get back together. He always says we can work on it, lets work together, and he is really really sweet about that. One thingon my part is that I have not been firm about his behavior, maybe I just need to lay them all out what I want?? I have come out of an emotionally abusive long term marriage, so I'm still learning to come around and talk to men. He is actually my first guy after I had a short fling with a married man. I do like this guy very much, but I guess I have to like myself more. I would love to hear more from all the readers of this post please!!!
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 3:42pm
Sorry to chime in again (I'm bored at work) but yes, you do teach people how to treat you. I don't know whether he says to you that he'll meet you at a specific time or you have to wait around on Sat. night. If my kids were going to be gone by 6:00 say, and the guy said to me "well I have to hang out w/ my guys so I can't come over until 9:00" then I might just say to him "well I dont' want to waste having child free time so if you can't come over until late, then I'll just go out with my friends instead" and definitely don't let him come over for the booty call later. If he ever made plans for a certain time and kept me waiting, maybe I'd give him one chance but I wouldn't keep giving him more chances to make me unhappy. There really are men out there who are considerate and want to be with you. I think sometimes if we have been in a really bad situation, then we just go "at least it's not as bad as my exH" and put up with it. But yes, you get to have standards for what you will tolerate and what you won't.

Eeek! From what you've described, he sounds controlling and here's why: he deliberately keeps you off-balance so that you're always subject to his whims/always adjusting to him. It keeps you on the receiving end, which means you're not equals. There is no partnership. Here's how he does it:
1) by telling you that he has to wait all those days to see you, then takes it out on you by telling you (to your face, no less) that you are not a priority on that days that you are supposed to see him;
2) he keeps you off-balance by picking fights when he's tipsy;
3) he guilt trips you and witholds contact because he can't see you when he wants;
4) let me reiterate #3... he guilt trips you;
5) "I don't want you to take advantage of me" what a freakin cop out... not to mention a deep sense of insecurity that you are not going to be able to fix... (ever).
Yes, six months is a long time, but just because you have time invested, it doesn't mean you shouldn't pull out of a bad deal.

In music, the term note has two primary meanings: ⁕A sign used in musical notation to represent the relative duration and pitch of a sound; ⁕A pitched sound itself. Notes are the "atoms" of much Western music: discretizations of musical phenomena that facilitate performance, comprehension, and analysis. The term note can be used in both generic and specific senses: one might say either "the piece 'Happy Birthday to You' begins with two notes having the same pitch," or "the piece begins with two repetitions of the same note." In the former case, one uses note to refer to a specific musical event; in the latter, one uses the term to refer to a class of events sharing the same pitch.

Just about everyone over 40 claims to have splashed in the mud on Max Yasgur's farm 25 years ago. Maybe that's because Michael Wadleigh's Academy Award- winning 1970 documentary, Woodstock, made you feel like you'd lived the event, even if you'd spent the weekend sticking neon daisies to your bedroom wall. His crew (which included a young assistant editor named Martin Scorsese) captured the counterculture making history, something the organizers of Woodstock '94 hoped to repeat with the generation that trekked to Saugerties, N.Y. But you'll have to excuse the London-based Wadleigh if he isn't busting out of his Birkenstocks about the experience. ''People came to (the original) Woodstock to go back to the garden, not to go to a mall,'' snorts Wadleigh, 51, who covered last weekend's festival as an on-camera commentator for European pay per view. ''This was a dirty trick on the kids. They were lured by the image, then surrounded by all this s -- - to buy. Neil Young was offered a million dollars to play and turned it down. He made up a logo of a vulture on a guitar neck, rather than a dove, in protest.''
Although Wadleigh is supportive of an ''alternative Woodstock'' being planned for next summer in the Northwest, he denies rumors that he's involved. ''I was misquoted about that,'' he says, ''but someone is trying to put one together. And this one will hopefully feature groups like Pearl Jam, who are the real spiritual inheritors of Woodstock. The tough part will be finding the money to back it in a clean way, so you don't end up with corporate sponsorship. If Pepsi had brought you the original Woodstock, it would have been as much the enemy as the war in Vietnam.''
If the alternative Woodstock does come off, would Wadleigh consider filming it? ''For the right kind of event, of course,'' he says. ''But a festival for people in their 20s should be filmed by people in their 20s.''

Expert Q & A: Castro Convertibles back in business
Author: Lauren Debellis | Published: Tuesday, September 28, 2010
After a 10-year hiatus, New Hyde Park-based Castro Convertibles is back and has launched a new product that's both attractive and functional. Bernadette Castro, daughter of founder Bernard Castro talked with us about bringing back the brand and why we'll be seeing a lot more of her granddaughters.
LIP: Congratulations on the re-launch of Castro Convertibles! Tell us about your plans.
BC: Thank you. My family and I are so happy to introduce the new Convertible Ottoman. It converts into a single 75-inch long bed and is perfect for a child or adult. We love how versatile it is. You can top it off with a tray and use it as a coffee table, for extra seating and then of course, as restful spot for overnight guests. It comes with a removable slipcover and has a five-inch thick Castropedic mattress that is supported by wooden slats, so it's really very comfortable. Right now, it is retailing for $499 with free shipping.
LIP: That sounds so great. Why did you choose to manufacture an ottoman?
BC: When we started planning three years ago, I didn't find anything at a comparable price that was both well made and comfortable. My father's philosophy was that all of his products had to be made for nightly sleeping. Back then many first-time parents living in a small New York City apartment had to give up their bedroom when the baby came and they would use our original convertible sofas as their bed. That need for space or additional space is still so relevant today.
LIP: There is a lot of downsizing happening these days. Was that part of what prompted you to re-launch now?
BC: There is definitely an unbelievable opportunity for us right now. Certainly the economy has enabled people once again to focus on their needs rather than their wants. Saving living space is a critical need for everyone. We're all looking to do more with the space we have. You know, it is ironic that my dad started the business back in a day when space was also at a premium and now here we are again. Even though our focus right now is on the Convertible Ottoman, we're planning to move forward with convertible sofas in the future.
LIP: You were in the company's original television commercial, which was quite famous. Any similar plans this time around?
BC: My granddaughters, my daughter's daughters, Grace and Georgia will be appearing in our advertising, teaching a new generation of customers just how easy it is to open our Convertible Ottoman! It's very special and we are all excited about it. I have four kids and eight grandkids and family is so important to us. We understand the importance of bringing families together and we hope that is what we achieve with our products.
LIP: What do you think your father would think of all of this?
BC: My dad is certainly smiling from heaven, thinking to himself "She's back!"

Tesco under attack for reneging on sustainability pledges with 'dodgy' tuna
Tesco has come under fire from environmental activist group Greenpeace over allegations the supermarket has begun stocking a "dodgy" brand of tuna caught in manner which endangers other sea life.
Tesco: targeted by Greenpeace
In a blog post, Greenpeace claims Tesco has gone back on sustainability pledges by offering tinned tuna provided by Oriental and Pacific (O&P), which it argued catches fish using large nets known as "purse seines", which can kill wildlife.
The allegations were also set out in a Channel 4 documentary 'Fish Fight: Hugh's Last Stand' broadcast last night, featuring celebrity cook Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
Greenpeace UK oceans campaigner Ariana Densham wrote in the blog post: "Once upon a time, well actually, three years ago, Tesco promised to help protect our oceans.
"Just like a knight in shining armour arriving to save the day, they suddenly switched and made the boldest public promise of all the tuna brands to clean up their tins just before we launched a tuna league table in which they were last.
"So what happened? At the same time as going 100% pole and line in its own brand in 2012, Tesco introduced a new dodgy brand called Oriental & Pacific back on to its shelves. Just like the Big Bad Wolf in disguise, Tesco has brought unsustainable tuna back – just this time under a different label."
Greenpeace backed Sainsbury's as a "consistent leader" in the provision of sustainable tuna, while also praising Morrisons for the "transformation" in its product range.
Tesco responded by tweeting that it was one of the first retailers to move to "100% pole and line on our own brand tuna" and pledged to use sustainable tuna in other products such as pastas, sandwiches and salads.
It said it will insist that supplier O&P make similar commitment on sustainability as other brands, adding: "Many of our competitors continue to sell non-pole and line caught tuna. Customers have a great choice of sustainable tuna at Tesco."
We were one of the first retailers to move to 100% pole and line on our own brand tuna.

taminated with radioactive substances, deep underground collector layers in the Teche-Brodskaya structure (1,000-1,500 m deep) may be used. This structure is located very close to the enterprise and lies partially within the boundaries of its protected sanitary zone.
According to the results of geological prospecting work done in 1960-1965, the Teche-Brodskaya structure was deemed to be unsuitable for the burial of liquid wastes. However, an analysis in recent years of the geological conditions and results of experimental work, taking into account the results of studies of existing liquid radioactive waste storage sites at the Mining-Chemical Complex (Krasnoyarsk Krai), the Siberian Chemical Complex (Tomsk Oblast), and the Scientific Research Institute of Nuclear Reactors (Ulyanovsk Oblast), indicated that the burial of liquid radioactive wastes in the collector layer of the Teche-Brodskaya structure was entirely feasible.
To reduce the volume of water that would be transferred into storage, reverse osmosis desalination units (like the ENERGO-70,-45, for example) and sorption units to extract radionuclides could be used. If this is done, the salt solutions from the reverse osmosis units and the regenerates from the sorption units, which contain radionuclides, would be sent to storage.
To develop the design for the deep repository (storage site) for radioactive water pumped out during rehabilitation of near-surface underground layers, geophysical studies (seismological prospecting) must be carried out to select locations for the drilling of boreholes and deep (up to 2,000 m) exploratory-operational wells in the Argayash Fault zone, very close to reservoirs 10 and 11 of the Mayak enterprise. Studies of the boreholes must also be conducted. If the results are positive, the collector layer between the depths of 1,000 and 1,500 m could also be used to store the liquid radioactive wastes that are currently being transferred into open surface repositories as the reservoirs of the Techa Cascade are being decommissioned and treated.

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.

Tourist Traps. Some are absurdly large. All are monuments to the bizarre notions of the human spirit.
The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: AUSTIN—The Inspections & Compliance Division of the State Securities Board has requested that Houston investment adviser Brian Anthony Bjork and his firm, Select Asset Management LLC (SAM), have their state registrations revoked.
Bjork and Select Asset sold millions of dollars worth of non-existent corporate bonds through the J. David Salinas Financial Group of Friendswood.
The relief is sought in the Notice of Hearing filed Aug. 1 at the State Office of Administrative Hearings.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating J. David Financial and on Monday filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Houston to freeze the assets of Bjork, SAM and related entities, and the estate of Salinas. The SEC suit also asks for the appointment of a temporary receiver to oversee the companies.
J. David Salinas was president of the J. David Financial Group until his death by suicide on July 17. Salinas and J. David Financial were not registered with the State of Texas to do business as investment advisers.
Salinas was known in basketball circles as the founder of the Houston Select Amateur Athletic Union basketball program and as a donor to the athletic programs at the University of Houston and Rice University.
The Inspections & Compliance Division alleges that Bjork and SAM told their clients they could buy corporate bonds for the clients' accounts through J. David Financial Group.
"As a result . . . clients invested millions of dollars believing that (Bjork and SAM) were buying corporate bonds with the funds," the hearing notice states.
Bjork and SAM also recommended and sold their clients interests in private investment funds. Clients invested millions of dollars in these funds without knowing the funds made undisclosed loans to affiliated companies.
Besides serving as chief executive of Select Asset Management, Bjork was an officer of J. David Financial until earlier this year. After Select Asset Management started doing business in 2007, Bjork continued to tell clients he was purchasing corporate bonds for them through J. David Financial, according to the notice of hearing. Bjork did not purchase the bonds, however, and neither did Salinas or J. David Financial.
By misrepresenting the bond purchases, Bjork and SAM engaged in fraudulent business practices, according to the notice of hearing.
Bjork and SAM also failed to comply with the terms of a Disciplinary Order the Securities Commissioner entered against him in 2008, the hearing notice says. The Order required Bjork and SAM to retain an independent outside compliance specialist to review his marketing, regulatory filings, and check the registration status of SAM employees.
The hearing notice alleges that Bjork never hired a compliance specialist. The notice also alleges that Bjork misrepresented himself to the Securities Commissioner when he filed regulatory updates that said his business activity on behalf of the J. David Group of companies was "not investment related."
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

Bri, Marketing
We were pleased to note that respected travel guru Arthur Frommer had mentioned, on his official blog, the existence of "hospital of choice" plans among the smorgasbord of travel insurance options available to consumers. Having the ability to request a particular hospital in the event that you have to be evacuated for medical attention during a trip is certainly a benefit worth pointing out to travelers. However, Mr. Frommer's article only mentions one specific company. In the interest of sharing the wealth, we thought it was important to point out that, as a comparison website, we offer several choices from a range of companies. We also figured that, while we're on the subject, you might want to know exactly what Hospital of Choice means when you're comparing travel insurance.
Currently, nine different companies and over 13 plans on the InsureMyTrip site offer some form of Hospital of Choice coverage. Although the details of each plan vary, in a nutshell, Hospital of Choice works like this:
Mr. Smart Traveler has purchased a travel insurance plan which includes the Hospital of Choice option. Mr. Smart Traveler is in a foreign country, enjoying his trip, when he unexpectedly becomes very ill. He is admitted to a local hospital and is told that he will have to continue an inpatient hospital stay for treatment and supervision. Not wanting to be away from his family and the comfort and security he feels undergoing medical treatment in a U.S. hospital with familiar doctors, our hero can, at this point, call his travel insurance company to ask about being transported to the hospital in his home city, where his family, his doctors, and the specialists he trusts will all be able to take good care of him as he recovers. (Roll credits and swelling music — a happy ending for our traveler!)
Depending on the plan details and the nature of his illness, Mr. Smart Traveler could be escorted to his chosen hospital via private medical flight, or he could be attended on a commercial flight by certified medical personnel. He could be taken directly to his home hospital, or, if his condition will not allow him to be transported to that facility safely, he may give permission to be transported to the closest hospital that can properly care for him. In any event, the point of this particular option is that Mr. Smart Traveler will be able to make a decision that is comfortable for him, and will receive treatment at a hospital that he is confident will provide him with excellent care. This is the kind of peace of mind that many travelers are seeking when they consider travel insurance in the first place, and it's the kind of option that should at least be explored. Hospital of choice coverage can be purchased either as part of a stand-alone evacuation only policy, or as an included benefit in one of the package policies we offer. We recommend comparing these plans on our site, then speaking with one of our Customer Care representatives at 800-487-4722 to get additional information for your individual concerns.

The leaders of the world's developing economies have met in Sanya, China for a one-day summit.
The BRICS nations - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - have repeatedly called for the reform of the global monetary and financial system and more promises of cooperation among themselves. South Africa joined the bloc as a permanent member in April this year.
The meeting gave this ad-hoc group an opportunity to test its collective strength ahead of an all-important G-20 meeting in France in November and to bring the concerns of developing nations to the top of the global agenda.
