Merchandise arrived on time and was what I expected. Great item for the price.
I love the color. It really brightens up my bedroom. I had to mend it in 3 places. I hate the hassle of returning items & I liked it well enough to fix it.
love this beautiful quilt. Lightweight but warm. Beautiful fun and cheerful.....
I ordered this quilt with matching shams for my Mother's birthday. It is very nice, good quality. The colors are as pictured. It is a little pricey for what you get.
This quilt is on our granddaughters new bed, it is a soft fabric and the quilting pattern is so nice! It is a very nice size as well!
I love the look and feel of this quilt. It's a bit pricey but it's a nice quality. I've gone through a few different comforters because I can never find one that looks good, is soft enough or made out of the right material. This quilt is just right. It's a keeper.
This quilt is beautiful! The color on the website picture might lead you to believe it's gray in color however it is a pretty sage green.
Nice quilt. Very good quality, bright colors, and it looks good in my bedroom!
I was looking for something a bit different and this fit the bill perfectly. The pattern is unique and the colors really pop!
I love this quilt. I have had patchwork quilts and this one is a nice change. It is oversized and fits very nice.

Event to celebrate 125th anniversary of Bavarian Inn Restaurant
History buffs will be in for a treat at an event that will celebrate both the 125th anniversary of the Bavarian Inn Restaurant and the 50th anniversary of the Frankenmuth Historical Association.
The Association's gala Annual Meeting will take place on March 7 at 5:30 pm at the Bavarian Inn Restaurant.
The event is to celebrate 125 consecutive years of dining and hospitality at their location, and is this year's event sponsor and host.
Following a dinner of Bavarian Inn all-time favorites, the association says guests will enjoy a special program that will take them back to 1888, and the establishment of Fischer's Union House.
Afterwards, guests will travel to the 1950s and the property's purchase by the Zehnder family, learning about the decades of growth in the late 20th century.
The association says the program will culminate in recognition of Bavarian Inn's status today as one of America's most familiar and beloved family restaurants.
WATCH: Dorothy Zehnder, 91, does the Harlem shake

Kimi Raikkonen has pushed his Monaco GP disappointment to the back of his mind, insisting he's ready for Canada.
The Lotus driver was furious with Sergio Perez in the wake of the Monte Carlo street race after the McLaren driver cost him a bunch of points.
Fighting over fifth place, Perez made several aggressive moves which eventually resulted in a puncture for Raikkonen and a damaged front wing for the McLaren driver.
Raikkonen's solution to the problem: "Maybe someone should punch him in the face."
Days later the Finn, who eventually finished P10, has calmed down.
"No-one wants to lose so many points thanks to the actions of another driver, but that race is over; Monaco is just a distant memory and I'm all ready for Canada," he said.
"For sure we lost ground on the lead in Monaco, but it's not over yet. It's still early in the season and 21 points behind is not too much to catch up; especially if Sebastian has a bad weekend too at some point.
"The most important thing is that we return to our race level before Monaco to get things going our way as soon as possible."
Looking ahead to next weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, Raikkonen says the race can be a lottery given the weather, Safety Cars and other drivers' mistakes.
"I have won there which was pretty good, but I have experienced some setbacks there as well. Many times the race has been quite a lottery as there seem to be different things which affect it.
"The weather can change a lot, sometimes the tyres or the track aren't working very well, sometimes there are a lot of Safety Cars, or sometimes another driver runs into the back of you when you're waiting at a red light.
"As for the place itself, I've always liked Montreal. It is one of the nicest cities we visit all year."

Thread: I bought a Silk׳n Flash&Go
I bought a Silk׳n Flash&Go
I've been experimenting with the different settings, but I'll report back on whether it works well or not on facial hair.
I am extremely interested to see how it works for you! I've been looking into the Tria and the Flash & Go lately, and the F&G would be much more convenient if it works well because you can buy replacement cartridges; when the Tria is done you have to buy a new one, which scares me.
I hope it works well for you, it would be great for you to not worry about facial hair anymore, or at least not as much! I'm sorry if I bombard you with questions when you post updates, I'm excited Good luck!!
No worries! Happy to help, thats why I posted the notice above....
The one thing about these do-it-youself laser hair removal kits that nobody has mentioned yet, is the huge list of warnings in the instruction manual.
It actually says (I kid you not) that the laser should never be used on skin that has been exposed to sunlight, and that any spot where you want to use it should be covered from the sun for a good four weeks before the flash and go is used. However, at the same time – it says it is safe for use on the face, AND that you're supposed to use it ever 2 weeks to start, then every 4 weeks….
Apparently it is only good for burka wearing women? Im pretty sure the warnings were written by lawyers with no common sense. Needless to say, I'm ignoring those warnings. So far, so good.
Another note. This thing is loud. Kinda like a hair dryer, only not QUITE as loud. If you're hoping to use it descretely, like I am…good luck. I have to wait for everyone to be out of the house before I use it, or I'd never hear the end of it. It makes a POP every time you hit the trigger, and flashes a blinding light that HaS to be bad for your eyes. Then there is a very faint pain as if someone hit you with an elastic band (and wasn't trying very hard).
That is my 5 am review for the moment….
To correct myself. I HAVE started using sun screen on my face every day, prior to trying to use this thing on facial hair - to mitigate any side effects that has to do with prior sun exposure. I'm starting to think this thing is safer to use in winter. Its also best on pale skin, dark hair - so its best if you don't have a tan, and are in your best winter pasty-whites.
Another note on discreteness. It arrives in a giant box that announces to everyone with eyes that it contains a Sephora Beauty product.
Oh good, everyone will know what I ordered! I thoroughly enjoyed how you put that, I laughed pretty hard reading your posts.
Overly-careful warning labels crack me up. I guess they have to be overly specific to avoid getting into a situations similar to when that woman sued McDonald's because her hot coffee was hot. It is good that you are using sunscreen, better to be careful. I'm winter white year round as I avoid being seen in sunlight (I'm like a vampire) so I won't have to worry about sunscreen.
Do you have fairly coarse hair or fine? If coarse, do you notice any more pain where the hair is coarser? Are you sticking with only shaving before treatments? I'm scared of that, I will do what I need to do, but I'm a tweezer and it will be scary.
I was thinking about home IPL devices last night, and some articles online say that it's permanent hair removal after so many treatments while others say that it's permanent as long as you continue to use it every few weeks, because the device zaps the hairs into the resting stage so continual treatments are needed to keep hair in that stage. I know that might bum some people out, and I understand that it would be preferably to not have to continue treatments forever, but I would be perfectly happy zapping my face every two or four weeks for the rest of my life rather than tweeze or shave or anything!
Thanks for the updates! I feel like a kid before Christmas haha.
I have both fine and coarse hair. The sides of my face tend to get fine dark hair that grows really, really long while my jaw line and chin gets patches of coarse hair. There is a spattering of coarse throughout as well. My neck also gets the long stuff and patches of coarse. Things have been progressively been getting worse lately, to the point where some of the fine hairs had grown stiff and grown in clusters to either side of my mouth that were difficult to see but felt like cat whiskers. Im not even kidding, it was pretty screwed up. Any, until recently all I did was pluck the coarse hairs. Then I bleached everything and plucked coarse. Then I used Veet and Naar. I switched to shaving and plucking strictly for this laser thing. I dont want to damage my skin by using chemical hair removal AND laser. The pain does not vary based on hair type.
I finally had a chance to use this thing on my face. Until last night I've only done my bikini line, underarms, chest and tummy. All of which I did at differing power levels to see what happens. There does not seem to be a difference in the pain level when you increase the power level. Did not see any redness or burns either, so I figure on the next treatment I'll jack it up to the highest level to try to get the best most immediate results. I cant really tell if it is having any effect. I THINK the hair is growing back slower, but it could also be just a figment of my imagination (not to mention, it IS growing back). It was only the first treatment on a low power level, I cant expect a whole lot.
My face was a little different. I used a high power level, just short of full power. It was difficult to use, and I'm pretty sure I missed a few spots - that is one difficulty of this thing that I have not yet mentioned. As it does not leave any marks, its hard to tell where you have already treated. I would actually prefer it if it would cause temporary redness.
Anyway - so my face....It was really tricky. Especially since the worst spots for me are along my jaw line. The business end on this thing is a solid flat surface, it does not conform to curves, and it is supposed to be completely flat on skin in order to work. I ended up trying to contort my neck to try to make my jaw line more fleshy...it was interesting.
It is also slightly more painful on the face. They are not kidding that you need to have pale skin. I have a few zits that are red, and an irritated area on my neck where my plucking has caused a bunch of red dots like a rash. It caused each and every red spot to sting for a split second. HOWEVER - I can report that it did not cause red spots or burns or further irritation, no sensitivity either. You zap, it faint pain, then its just warm. Nothing more.
Anyway my face will be difficult to gauge. I am using the Gorilla Warfare cream at the same time, which is working wonders. So it will be difficult to tell what kind of effect it is having. So I will base most of my conclusions on other parts : ).
My hair sounds similar to yours, it's coarse from jaw to jaw, fine mixed in at the sideburns, half coarse half fine at my upper lip. Hair sucks. I was wondering how the device would handle plucking irritation, I have plenty of that also. Good to know it doesn't irritate it further, hopefully it doesn't attract too much juice so the hair gets the full force. I guess we will know in a couple weeks or months or however long it takes to see results!
Sucks that its awkward to use at the jawline! Hopefully you can figure out a trick to make it easier. You would think they would design it to hit spots like that, considering the F&G is more geared towards facial hair (or that's my understanding at least). Sigh.
Yup. You'd think they'd have some kind of attachment for that.
One thing this has that is better than the tria, and a reason I choose it...was that it has a cord. apparently the tria is cordless, and runs out of batteries extremely quickly, but takes a long time to recharge.
Sooo....update! I used the Laser thingy for a second treatment on my chest, belly, armpits and bikini line. This time I used high power, or at least close to it. This was on July 20th. And I can actually see a visible improvement. There is less hair, and it is growing in slowly. Weirdly enough, I also use to get razor burn on my bikini line after I shave. I didn't.
I haven't done the second treatment on my face yet. This should happen this week.
That's really great! Have you been taking pictures? That might help you chart improvement, 20% reduction, 40% etc. Not that I expect you to post them haha, I know I'd feel pretty strange showing an online community my armpits every month, but it could be a good reference point for you!
I am currently treating my facial hair with at-home electrolysis and it is veeeery slow going. Which I expected of course. It would be nice if I could treat the coarser and easy to reach hairs and then use the F&G for finer hairs that are hard to treat. If you give the F&G the ok later on, I will give it a shot and hopefully have a plan to manage facial hair. If only I had been born a boy, or a monkey, then all of this wouldn't be necessary... haha.

I tried silk'n sense on my legs, it was slow and tedious to use and I never saw results. I bought it from costco and took it back."Laugh about it, shout about it, when you've got to choose -

I have no doubt about that. Though the price difference makes it worth giving it a try. And so far - its working for me.
I really hope it works well on my face though. I've switched to shaving entirely to follow the instructions and I HATE it. I use to only have to pluck a bit every day. Sometimes every other day. Now I HAVE to shave everything daily. It doesn't last as long. Really unpleasant.
So, I used the laser on my face last night for the second treatment, then immediately plucked everything out. I couldn't stand shaving it any more. I used the highest power. We'll see what happens. I'm hopeful that I'll start to notice a difference as I did for my chest.
So! Third treatment on my belly/chest/pits/bikini line. I did this on Wednesday I think it was...and today I realised that I don't have to shave my pits daily anymore. I've been doing it out of habit while I shower, but I had a look this time...and ya, there is still hair there - but its very short, and there is less of it. My stomach and chest is showing the best results. There is NOTHING left, and its been that way for days.
My face at the moment...is looking great. I still have to pluck/shave some areas, but no where near to the same extent that I had to before, and the hair is not as obvious either. The hair on my upper lip is GONE. Occasionally I"ll have some hair grow in on either end of my upper lip, where I guess the laser did not touch when I zapped it. But otherwise...i haven't had to pluck or shave my upper lip in weeks!

Shoot off of your hand Like the Elves did! The Legolas Longbow is a fully functional longbow-recurve hybrid that offers a little of both worlds from longbow smoothness and accuracy to the recurves super smooth draw plus a little extra speed. At 72 inches long this bow has the smoothness and durabilty of a true longbow. If you are a Legolas fan you will simply have to own one of these bows period. You will probably not find a bow that is closer to the movie original than this and still shoot safely. So stretch the string and unleash the the power of a true Elven longbow. This bow is great for target practice, SCA events, Hunting and Archery competitions, certain events and hunting laws may require specific draw lenghts and draw weights, if you are purchasing the bow solely for that purpose, be sure to check what the requirements are first. Your bow will come with a set of instructions on proper use and care. Remember to always unstring your bow when you are not using it and never fire the bow with out an arrow.

Cracked was an American humor magazine. Founded in 1958, Cracked proved to be the most durable of the many publications to be launched in the wake of Mad magazine. In print, Cracked conspicuously copied Mad's layouts and style, and even featured a simpleminded, wide-cheeked mascot named Sylvester P. Smythe on its covers. The Smythe character was Cracked's "janitor." Unlike Neuman, who is mute and appears primarily on covers, Smythe sometimes spoke and was frequently seen inside the magazine, interacting with parody subjects and other regular characters. A 1998 reader contest led to Smythe finally getting a full middle name: "Phooey." An article on Cracked.com, the companion website, joked that the magazine was "created as a knock-off of Mad magazine just over 50 years ago", and it "spent nearly half a century with a fan base primarily comprised of people who got to the store after Mad sold out." Cracked's publication frequency was reduced in the 1990s, and was erratic in the 2000s. In 2006, the magazine was revived with a new editorial formula that represented a significant departure from its prior Mad style. The new format was more akin to "lad" magazines like Maxim and FHM. The new formula, however, was unsuccessful and Cracked again canceled its print magazine in February 2007 after three issues. Later that year, the brand was carried over to a website, owned by Demand Media.

Hundreds of people showed up at Patriots Park Thursday hoping to find work at the new Target in Evans. And you still have two more days to drop off your resume.
Taketra Patterson is one of 2,000 people that managers expect to come out between Thursday and Saturday.
"I came to apply for a position at Target," Patterson said.
Managers expect around 2,000 people to come out between Thursday and Saturday.
"A lot of people, a lot of response today," said Fred Swindell, Target employee.
They will fill positions in every area, like cashiers, human resources, guest services, and even people to run the new Pizza Hut and Starbucks that will be in the store.
Team leader Anthony Childress says they will hire most of the people on the spot; some may have to come back for a follow-up interview.
"We're just excited about being able to offer jobs to the citizens here in Evans," Childress said.
Prospective employees watch a DVD about the company, fill out applications and go through a series of interviews. Management at Target says the construction is going well, and everything is one time. They hope to move their new inventory into the new building by September 1.
All of the new hires will start training once the new building is done. It will take about thirty tractor-trailers to fill up the store once it is ready.
The hours at Patriots Park are from 8am-6pm Friday and 9am-4pm Saturday. And 12 is on your side with directions to the job fair. Take I-20 to exit 190, take a right on Lewistown and a left on Columbia Road. The entrance to the park will be two miles on the right. Follow the signs with the big red bulls-eye.

Diabetes: Where "Getting High" Has a Different Meaning
Jan Chait
September 17, 2013
"You people are really lucky," an endocrinologist friend said to me several years ago: "You know when you're getting sick."
The "you people" he was talking about were those of us who have diabetes. And we know when we're getting sick because our blood glucose goes up.
"I just wake up one morning and feel rotten," he continued. "At least you know when it's coming."
Maybe. Truthfully, however, it's the last thing I think about. Take the last time, for example.
"What did I eat?" I muttered to myself when my BGs rose and stayed up. Well, there was the spaghetti, but I skipped the bread and put a minimal amount of low-fat dressing on my salad. Also, the sauce was Bolognese, not Alfredo.
Nope. I don't believe it was the spaghetti. Then I thought of something else.
"Oh, here we go again," I grumbled when my BGs rose and I couldn't get them to go below 160-ish. Even if I'd glitched on adjusting for the spaghetti, my glucose would have been back to normal by then. This time, they were still high. Like in the 200s for the most part. I even hit close to 400 mg/dl once, and I NEVER do that!
Since I have this annoying habit of running low and having to adjust my basal rates down — only to start running high and having to adjust my basal rates UP — I figured it was time for my glucose to start going squirrelly again. So I upped my basal rates.
While I came down, it wasn't by much and wasn't nearly as much as it should have.
What else could it be? Carbs and dietary fat can be a problem, but the effects of the spaghetti should have been long over (and don't smack my hand — spaghetti as a main dish is a treat for me). I hadn't cut back on exercise. Raging hormones are no longer an issue.
All of this was swirling through my head as I checked my foot one night. And then I found it: The nail on my big toe looked a bit "off," so I gently pushed on it. The nail was a bit loose…and the nail bed was infected.
Did you know an infection can cause your blood glucose to rise? Yep. Little more than a day after I cleaned my toe really well and put some antibiotic cream and a bandage over it, my glucose began to drop. It's nearly back to the ranges I'm used to now.
That was last Wednesday night. I needed to see my podiatrist, whose office is about 90 miles from where I live. However, school and work schedules, Yom Kippur, and the hours kept by the clinic he works in were combining to make an immediate visit impossible.
So I left a message at his office Thursday and, after not receiving a response, called his house that evening. He was at a meeting, but his wife and I had a delightful conversation and he called me back Friday morning, apologizing that nobody had given him my message at the office, then giving me the number for his private line. The one with the voice mail he listens to himself.
We went over what I'd been doing, he suggested some changes and called in a prescription for me. So far it's better, and I'll be going to see him on Wednesday.
There are some lessons here; lessons that I sometimes forget. When my glucose goes up and stays there, I need to examine myself to determine if I'm "getting sick" one way or another. Am I stressed? Depressed? Getting a stuffy head? Have a scratchy throat? Any areas that feel warm, indicating the possibility of an infection?
It's also great to have wonderful health-care providers. My podiatrist is one of them. He understands how important it is to me that my foot be taken care of. After all, I only have one and don't want to lose it. I feel comfortable calling him at home. I like that he was willing to give me his private number at the office. He's a good doctor, too.
My toe is getting better and my glucose has gotten better. Next? It appears to be flu-shot season. Don't forget to get yours. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), seasonal flu activity can begin as early as October. That's in a couple of weeks.
Interesting discussion about levels being high. I found that as well. What I found out was that as the skeletal muscles get loaded with glucose; there is no more room to store extra glucose. I ended up cutting diet to 1200 calories and then walking 2 miles to hammer down the glucose out of muscles. I also found that my dawn effect was so nasty that I was at 238 first thing in am every day. Initially, I found walking 2 miles in am and tiny low glycemic breakfast; I could get BG back to 140 and under. Later watching cgms and adding metformin doses; I was able to cut excess liver glucose release as well as hammering dawn effect back. After all that my numbers were back low and under control and I continue 1200 calorie diet and metformin doses and regular exercise. On my body read was that once one saturates the glucose stores of the skeletal muscles, the glucose backs up in blood stream and one has extreme high insulin resistance and insulin does not work as effectively. Prior to that I was 180 plus routinely and higher. Science has not yet arrived at point that skeletal muscles are NOT Infinite Energy (glucose) dumps and Insulin just keeps on working-trucking!

What stupid remarks by an endocrinologist. I had one of those once and never saw him again. So arrogant and put me down with his remarks.

I am so tired of hearing how "lucky" I am to be diabetic. If you are not diabetic and think that's true, would you like to share my luck? And if you are diabetic and think that's true, would you choose to be "unlucky" if you could?

I bought this clown costume for my 2 1/2 year old son. It arrived faster then anticipated and it is very true to size. I was a little worried about what size to get, my son is wearing 4T clothes and was a little nervous about what size to get him.

This month, President Obama and members of NATO involved in Afghanistan formally agreed on a transition plan, preparing to hand over security responsibilities to Afghan forces by the summer of 2013. France's new president, François Hollande, restated an earlier pledge to remove all French combat forces from Afghanistan by the end of this year. Suicide bombings, IEDs, and a growing number of "green on blue" attacks (men in Afghan uniforms attacking coalition forces) continue to take a toll and limit security efforts. Gathered here are images of those involved in this conflict over the past month, as part of the ongoing series here on Afghanistan. [42 photos]

hi im thinking of buying a new psp the limited edition god of war and i hope i can hack it after is it possible or not ? or should i just buy used one on ebay ?
Be careful of new PSPs. Those are PSP 3000s, and are currently not hackable. Look on eBay specifically for PSP 1000 or some PSP 2000s with the correct motherboard. To avoid the hassle, look for a PSP on eBay that has been preloaded with custom firmware
they are all hackable now upto 6.20 firmware

The image above was one that I originally did for a magazine editorial in Milan. I remember at the time how I had really struggled to find a good model as I travelled from one agency to another. Part of the problem was that I was brand new so none of the bookers were feeling any need to be particularly helpful to a new guy with no real history of big jobs. The other problem I guess is that the magazine itself was very much a niche product aimed at the cosmetics trade rather than the general public, so the readership circulation wasn't huge, though some lateral thinking might have helped the bookers to conclude that the few people reading the magazine were actually potential clients…
There came a moment when I was really fed up with the choice of models I was being shown and time was running short, so I went into a well known agency just as they were about close on a Friday evening and knowing that I had to complete the shoot the next day. I managed to pull the head booker to one side and tell her how incredibly disappointed I was with their choice of models and that I expected far better from a leading agency.
As a new photographer this was a risky strategy because I had zero clout at that time and could have completely alienated the head booker at one of the best agencies in the world, which would have been a major blow for my fledgling career. I must have struck a chord though because she took me seriously and clearly her pride kicked in, so she pulled out a book from under a shelf (literally) that hadn't been on show before and told me "This girl is beautiful, we always have a couple in town". She was right and I was able to book the model for my small editorial.
On the day of the shoot I remember I had been racing around like a maniac trying to get everything organised and I had really struggled to find any decent clothes because the job was low budget and there was no money for a stylist. The only logical solution was to shoot the model topless for the beauty editorial and thankfully she agreed. We proceeded to do a series of images and one of those was the one above.
I have often felt that far too many photographers portray a very negative image of the models they photograph and I am not sure that women really like this. After all, why would you want to be photographed by somebody who makes you look like you're constantly miserable? As a photographer who genuinely likes women I find it natural to portray them in a positive light which is why I like to inject images with a feeling of freshness and optimism.
The image was eventually published and it led to an editorial with a better known magazine, but a few months after that it was seen by a leading advertising agency and I was asked to shoot an advertising assignment for Rimmel cosmetics along the same lines. The image from that subsequent shoot with a topless model was then used in several European countries to advertise a new range of grey coloured makeup that was in fashion at the time. Much of this and other stories are covered in my book.

Dignity-wise, this is not my finest hour. I'm standing in a biomechanics lab at the University of Massachusetts Amherst while scientists attach all manner of probes and wires and monitoring devices to the lower half of my body. The electrodes are cold, and I'm not wearing pants.
Okay, technically, I do have a pair of men's bike shorts on, which were loaned to me by the institution when I turned up wearing jeans: They're tiny and tight, and when I look down at my thighs I see crude sausages, dappled ever so attractively with cadaver-blue goose bumps. Thankfully, this isn't a sexy-legs competition (though the ability to enter one might be a tangential goal)it's an attempt to separate measurable physical fact from sales-jargon fiction: A slew of new souped-up fitness shoes, from Skechers Shape-ups to MBT shoes to Reebok EasyTones, claim to help tone muscles. Some even say that wearers can expect reduced cellulite, better circulation, relief from neck tension, and improved posture. Does this really mean that if I take a walk in them, a skinnier, more svelte me will arrive at my destination?
For today's test, I'm shod in FitFlop Sandals, arguably the most fashionable of the flab-fighting shoe brigade (they were developed in 2007 by Bliss Spa founder Marcia Kilgore in collaboration with British biomechanists David Cook, PhD, and Darren James, and have since sold more than 4 million pairs). My task is to traipse back and forth across a metal plate that records the force of each footfall. This isn't easy when trussed, Frankenstein-style, in a tangle of wires, but every element is key: While the gel insert that's stuffed into my shoe like a high-tech odor eater gauges pressure, the electrodes (brrr!) measure muscle activity, and a collection of reflective markersattached at patella, ankle, and hip with duct taperelay signals back to the technician's computer, generating an eerie animated image of my skeleton from the waist down, striding to and fro across the screen as if it's looking for something (like its top half). This is the same motion-capture technology employed by video game designers to create Hobbit armies and the like, and I keep suppressing a desire to scamper and swing an imaginary sword.
The data is impressive: The FitFlop's cushioning footbed significantly reduces the level of ground reaction force to my joints (the whack-back effect from every step that can ultimately damage the knees, hips, and ankles in other shoes) compared to when I perform the same actions in a pair of regular flip-flops, and the muscles in my hamstrings, thighs, and calves show increasedand prolongedmuscle engagement. "A micro-wobbleboard embedded in the FitFlop sole slightly destabilizes the body so that the muscles have to work harder to push off the ground," says Richard Jones, senior lecturer in clinical biomechanics at the University of Salford, UK, who has done extensive independent research on the shoes. Over time, the destabilization will have a toning effect on the leg.
More persuasive, though, is a comment made by another ELLE editor when I return to the office from Amherst: "I recently went to Malibu Country Mart, where you see people like Cindy Crawford and Pamela Anderson hanging out," she says, "and pretty much everyone with an awesome ass was wearing FitFlops." Impactful words. Who wouldn't want that descriptive on their list of primary characteristics? Personally, I'd be delighted to find it on my epitaph: "Here lies April Long. Awesome ass." So why am I still reluctant to wear any of these new good-for-you shoes around town? Why does the probability that they can give me a better body strike me as bad news? Because I, like many women I know, am a dyed-in-the-wool, I-don't-care-if-I-break-my-ankle high-heel devotee. Let's face it, a shoe's attractiveness invariably declines in inverse proportion to its degree of comfort: If you're slipping on a pair of Shape-ups, you've got to be willing to make a major aesthetic sacrifice.
Remember when Victoria Beckham said that she refused to go to the gym because it would require her to wear flats? That might be the one thing she and I will ever have in common. I've been wearing heels every day for at least 15 years. I love them for their elegant beauty as much as for the way they make me feel beautiful and elegant. I clap them onto my feet before I leave the house every morning, and there they stay, even on my four-mile-round-trip walk to work. I'm not going to pretend they're comfortableI sometimes feel like I'm standing on bloody stumps, and my feet are constantly marred by stiletto stigmata: blisters, abrasions, and lingering indentations from buckles, straps, and spikes. Like most high-shoe junkies, my Achilles tendon has shortened, causing an uncomfortable straining sensation in my heel when barefoot.

Does this sound like ADD/ADHD?

You could take him to a Neuropsychologist for an evaluation if you are really that worried. ADHD does have some consistencies, but not always. So, ask your ped for a referral if you like, and have him evaluated, it is a loonnng process, usually a couple of weeks of testing and observations. DO NOT let a ped or other Dr give you a "checklist" to fill out and for teachers to fill out, and then make a diagnosis on that alone.....testing would have to be done
|Tue, 02-09-2010 - 12:35am
My DS (dx ADHD/combined type) is amazingly focused (for hours at a time) when he likes what he's doing (generally video games or drawing/making comics or reading his favourite magazine). And he's so good at games that totally confuse me, which is completely incongruous with how he performs when asked to do multi-step tasks.
Yup, you got it, and you are testing for both. Just as an example, my 12 yo, if asked to get a towel from the bathroom might come back with shoes from his bedroom. That's when he's unmedicated.
Medicated, he might be able to bring me a towel or if he forgets what he's going for will call down and ask me to repeat what I wanted. Unmedicated, he'd not even think to ask me to repeat, he'd just bring me the wrong thing. Oh, and I'm not suggesting that medication would or should be the way to go if your DS was dx, but just giving examples.
If you're insurance covers an assessment then I'd recommend it. Either they will dx him and he'll get help with some of the school issues, or they'll say that he's developing normally and you can relax. It's win/win.

*sigh* I know your pain, LOL.
I have to say, though, that I was the exact same way as a child and teen, and when I left my teens it seems like my ability to focus and stay on task vastly improved. It's like a switch in my brain was flicked to the on (or *more* on) position once I reached adulthood.
|Tue, 02-09-2010 - 10:06am
I'll let someone else do the talking...
In this context, Silverman notes that some professionals erroneously assume that a child who demonstrates sustained attention, such as a gifted child engaged in a high-interest activity, cannot have ADHD. It is understandable that an observer might discount the possibility of ADHD because from all appearances the child is so absorbed in a task that other stimuli fade into oblivion. While this state of rapt attention is often described as "flow"), it can also be ascribed to "hyperfocus," which is a similar condition that individuals with ADHD frequently experience.
Activities that is continuously reinforcing and "automatic," such as video or computer games or reading for pleasure, do not distinguish children who have ADHD from children who do not have ADHD, whereas effortful tasks do. By virtue of their giftedness, the range of tasks that are perceived as "effortless" is broader for gifted children, which is why their ADHD may be less apparent than in children who struggle more obviously and to lesser effect.
Recent work suggests that the gifted child with ADHD is particularly predisposed to exhibit this state of "flow" or "hyperfocus." While this can be a positive aspect of task commitment and a sign of motivation, it becomes a problem when the child is asked to shift from one task to another. Therefore, while cognitively this state can have positive aspects, behaviorally it can also cause problems. Furthermore, ADHD is not characterized by an inability to sustain attention, but rather by the inability to appropriately regulate the application of attention to tasks that are not intrinsically rewarding and/or that require effort. Such tasks are, sadly, characteristic of much of the work that is typically required in school, even in programs for gifted students.
While a misdiagnosis of ADHD is undesirable, diagnostic errors of omission are just as serious and may be even more prevalent among gifted students. This difficulty occurs when a student's over-reliance on strengths inadvertently obscures the disability. While emphasizing strengths may highlight a student's gifts and talents, it does not eliminate the reality of the condition and can, in fact, lead to a worse predicament in which the student distrusts his or her abilities because of the struggle to maintain them. On the other hand, if a student is allowed to acknowledge and experience the disability, he or she may learn appropriate compensatory or coping skills...
Given the realities of the co-existence of giftedness and ADHD, the question should not be "ADHD or gifted?" but rather "how impaired is this student by his/her ADHD?" Some children are able to compensate in most situations for their ADHD (and neither they nor their parents or teachers may be aware of it); others are seriously handicapped. The single most relevant element that must be considered in evaluating ADHD is the degree of impairment a child experiences as a result of the behaviors.>>

Ah, but it depends what the thing IS, somehow. Most ADHD kids can play video/computer games with lovely concentration ;}. My kid has always been able to concentrate on building legos. He actually doesn't require meds often for math homework (really, it's only since he hit 6th/7th grade math that he *ever* needs it; part of it there is the homework takes him > 5 minutes, unlike elementary school!). So, no, it doesn't have to be consistent to be ADHD. And, how do I say this? For my kid, at least, it became more consistent, sort of--as other kids got calmer, more able to focus, you saw the differences for my kid in more areas.
Concentration...it's an effort. I mean, it is for you & me, right? For an ADHD kid, it's a much, much greater effort, sometimes so great they can't do it. Sometimes they can. I haven't read this anywhere, so it may just be my kid, but if he goes to school without meds, he can cope to a certain extent--but he works so hard that he often falls apart when he gets home. Sort of like complete exhaustion, though not the same as having gotten physically exhausted. The meds help him by making it less HARD to concentrate, so his brain can process all the other things, too.
3-step directions: well, when my kid was, say 4, he could be told by his teacher to put X away, wash his hands, and sit at the table. He'd usually get X put away, but wouldn't manage to cross the room to the sink.
A classic one for us is to go upstairs, put on your PJs and brush your teeth (which is a 3-step itself, brush, floss, flouride). He can do it, but it's because of lots of repetition!
My neighbor always says her kid can't be sent down to the basement for 3 things--he'll always come back with just one, maybe two.
Go upstairs, grab your shoes, turn off the light, and bring down your cereal bowl.
That kind of thing--though either of your examples work; the question is, of course, if a non-ADHD kid can reasonably be expected to do whatever it is you are asking.
You can always get an eval--the teacher/parent fill-in-the-bubbles forms are a good screening tool (though, as the Cl says, NOT the final diagnosis! There's too many other things that mimic ADHD!). Sounds like the art teacher did things just right, mentioning the "other things going on", instead of "your kid is". The other thing you might want to ask the teachers--or yourself!--is if you should pursue an evaluation at the SCHOOL. We had most of ours done that way, lots of testing for potential LD, stuff like that. Meant we didn't have to redo those tests for the eventual diagnosis. But, don't delay too much--no matter whether you go Dr/psych or school, it all takes time (months).
I was laughing about the morning-forgets that the rest of you are saying--with my kid, the BEST signal that he's forgotten his meds used to be if we were trying to head out the door for school & we the parents got frustrated because he wasn't getting his stuff on & ready to go. We got good--first response became "did you take your meds??", not "hurry up!!"

The competition is heating up…the last round of judging was very difficult.
Your third design challenge is to map the geography of your life. Where have you been? Where are you now? Where are you going? Take us on the journey of your life, wherever that may be. From your heritage, to your childhood, maybe skip sixth grade, and pick back up again after puberty…unless you were that amazingly popular middle schooler (yeah, right). If you are only looking forward, feel free to predict your future (or at least a dream). Please create one bold primary print and a secondary print that supplements the primary print. Imagine you are making a quilt that features one fabric, this would your primary print, includes small pieces of your secondary print, and three solid colors.
This challenge is due on May 9th by midnight. The guest judges this month are our quilting tool inventors: Susan Brown from TQM Products (she can help make your bindings look professional) and Linda Warren from Linda Warren Designs (she can help you master your curves).
Just one contestant will be eliminated, but don't get too comfy, the competition is getting fierce. Good Luck!

RELEASED: Sept. 25, 2007
|Robert Redford and Paul Newman in a scene from "The Sting."
EAU CLAIRE — "The Sting" (1973), winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, will be presented Thursday-Sunday, Oct. 4-7, at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The film will screen at 6 and 8:30 p.m. in Davies Theatre.
Paul Newman, Robert Redford and director George Roy Hill ("Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid") reunited for this engaging piece of Americana, set in 1920s Chicago, about a group of experienced con men and a young pickpocket who runs afoul of a big-time racketeer (Robert Shaw). The ensemble cast includes Charles Durning, Ray Walston, Eileen Brennan, Harold Gould, Dana Elcar and Robert Earl Jones.
"'The Sting' is one of the most stylish movies of the year," wrote film critic Roger Ebert when the film was released. "The style here is so seductive and witty it's hard to pin down. ... It's good to get a crime movie more concerned with humor and character than with blood and gore; here's one, as we say, for the whole family."
The 129-minute film is rated PG.
Admission is $2 for International Film Society members and UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff and $1 for UW-Eau Claire students. Tickets are available at the Service Center, 715-836-3727, in Davies Center's east lobby and will be sold at the door.
The film is sponsored by the University Activities Commission of the Student Senate.

September Still Life With Flickr Theme: To Go
2 Sep 2006
Oh wow. It's September already.
When did that happen?
Er, yesterday I guess! So, that means I'm officially late with this month's theme. I'd say that it's because I was so caught up with all the great images from last month! There were some exceptional photos of food and people... I think August was the best month yet! Just take a look at some of these gorgeous shots:
In addition, I loved that some of the photographers took action on the comments and made their photos even better showing what a powerful learning experience this type of forum can be. Thanks all who both critiqued and were critiqued! But in reality, I'm late this month because it's my wedding anniversary weekend and on Thursday my husband surprised me with a spur of the moment trip. So, right now, I'm in Chicago seeing the sites. And as we were sitting out on a patio enjoying a nice beer on a sunny afternoon it occurred to me that I had missed the first day of the new theme! Not a bad excuse, eh? And so, September rolls in a new theme. I know for me, September marks the end of summer and beginning yet again of the school year. My daughter starts back to school next week, and I have to start planning lunches... which made me think of an interesting theme of Food To Go. Maybe a packed lunch, or a picnic, or simply a bite on the run from a street vender... whatever your version of To Go is, let's see it! The usual rules and are up on the

RCBS® Summit Single Stage Reloading Press
- 4-1/2'' operating window
- Reloading die move down to case
- 2" diameter RAM
- Allows RAM Priming
- Special adjustable "jaws" replace the need for numerous shell holders
Manufacturer model #: 9290.
RCBS® Summit Single Stage Reloading Press 1 1
Questionable product Just tried my new Summit press for the first time. I like that it is compact and table top mount but my biggest concern is that the top moving ram connecting arms are not directly over top of the die and as a result when you hand tighen the resizing die the top slide portion lifts when the die makes contact with the shell holder and as a result not square. New to reloading but I think this is a big deal and waiting to hear from RCBS of my concern. Also found a couple loose screws on top ram causing it to move a bit. A little sloppy quality assurance in my opinion. Will update as time passes and hear back from RCBS. At this point unsure if I would recommend. October 14, 2013

PLAY it Forward!
Presented by Central Square Theater at Central Square Theater
March 2 - March 24, 2009
As spring approaches, Central Square Theater will treat audiences to a festival of new works presented throughout the month of March! From global warming to faith, space exploration to a homecoming, PLAY it Forward! will bring to life a diverse offering of stories through two Catalyst Collaborative @ MIT readings, two readings from New Plays At The Nora, a reading for the city-wide "ZinnFest," as well as "Page to Stage: A Young Playwrights Celebration."
Festival events will take place at Central Square Theater and The Broad Institute in Cambridge between March 2 - 24, 2009. On Monday, March 2 and Tuesday March 3 at 7 PM, Catalyst Collaborative @ MIT (CC@MIT) presents Atlas of Mud by Jennifer Fawcett, and directed by Jay Scheib. A mythic allegory exploring the human dimensions of global warming, Fawcett's drama won the 2008 Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival National Science Playwriting Award. On Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14, CC@MIT presents Frontier Theory, written and directed by Rebekkah Maggor. Written in conjunction with James Battat, Pappalardo Fellow of Physics at MIT, Frontier Theory is a CC@MIT commission. Maggor and Battat explore the nature of scientific research through the eyes of a female astrophysicist who abandons academia to pursue a career as an astronaut. The first performance of each staged reading will be hosted at the Broad Institute, placing it in the center of Cambridge's dynamic scientific community; the second performance of each will be at Central Square Theater. Each staged reading will be followed by a conversation led by scientists and the playwrights. As part of "ZinnFest," a city-wide celebration honoring the work of historian, playwright and social activist Howard Zinn ("A People's History of the United States"), Marx is back in Marx in Soho, Friday, March 6 at 8 PM and Saturday, March 7 at 4 and 8 PM. Written by Zinn, directed by David Wheeler (associate artist at A.R.T.; resident director since 1984) and starring Max Wright (2008 Elliott Norton award for A.R.Ts No Man's Land, directed by David Wheeler; 1998 Tony nomination, Chekov's Ivanov; Willie Tanner on TV's "Alf") this witty and insightful "play on history discovers Karl Marx agitating the authorities of the afterlife for a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, though, Marx is sent to Soho in New York, rather than his old stomping ground in London, to make his case. On Saturday, March 7 at 6 PM, Howard Zinn will host a conversation with the audience and community organizers, including Marcy Goldstein-Gelb, Executive Director, Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health; Ardeene Goodridge, Coordinator, Area IV Neighborhood, Cambridge; and Michael Muehe, Director, Cambridge Commission for Persons with Disabilities. The performance at 4 pm on Saturday, March 7th, as well as the conversation at 6 pm, will both be ASL interpreted. In "Page to Stage: A Young Playwrights Celebration," original scripts by Cambridge Public Schools' students will be performed by professionals as fully staged productions, on Wednesday, March 11 at 10 AM & 7 PM.
The Nora Theatre Company presents two readings through its New Plays At The Nora series, a program designed to help develop and promote plays by women playwrights from the area. On Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17 at 7 PM, the company will present Vessel of Glass by Lyralen Kaye; when two nuns befriend a troubled student, their faith and convictions are called into question: what is God's will and who is His messenger? On Monday, March 23 and Tuesday, March 24 at 7 PM, memories of the past and choices for the future haunt a middle-aged woman determined to sell her inheritance as she returns to her family home in coastal Maine, in Weekend at the Dreaming Cloud by Kelly DuMar.

Asymptote, one of the prettiest (and smartest) online magazines, has a new issue out to kick off the new year, and it's pretty packed with interesting material:
For one, we got to talk to our favorite Francophile, Edmund White, about why Proust is "a more profound psychologist than Freud". We also have an excerpt from the new novel by Amélie Nothomb, the Belgian phenom behind Fear and Trembling; Life Form is about yet another cultural clash—this time with an American soldier in Iraq. But perhaps we are proudest of bringing you the first ever English translation from Toh EnJoe's 2012 Akutagawa Prize-winning novel, Harlequin's Butterflies. In the fascinating interview Toh also granted us, the Physics PhD elaborates on his "un-local novels", and how we must cherish the ability to enjoy strange things.
I'm particularly interested in Harlequin's Butterfly, especially after reading this note from Sim Yee Chiang and Sayuri Okamoto about the translation:
Harlequin's Butterfly is a complex work in which (to give one out of any number of possible summaries) the entanglement of idea ('butterfly') and praxis ('net') is told and retold from multiple perspectives, making it all the more deserving of the Akutagawa Prize. The first chapter, presented in its entirety in this extract (along with the introduction of the second chapter for clarity's sake), forms the comedic version of the tale, and is dominated by the imposing figure—a veritable Pantalone—of A. A. Abrams. To translate humour is treacherous enough, but to recreate Abrams' American English from a Japanese translation of a Latino sine inflexione rendering of his original English? Straining our ears, we managed to catch echoes of Clare Quilty.
And the opening—although maybe a bit too goofy at first (calls to mind Calvino, but the handstand joke falls flat, in my opinion)—is pretty mesmerizing:
Books that may only be read while traveling would be nice.
Books that may also be read while traveling are boring. For every thing, there must be a right time and place. A book suited for reading anywhere and anytime is nothing more than a half-baked sham.
This book, without a doubt, takes the form of A Book To Be Read In Two Minutes While Doing A Handstand and has indeed been made for the express purpose of handstand reading. Its significance cannot be fully grasped via non-handstand reading. You can open the book normally and follow the words on the page, but the feeling is nothing compared to the sensation of actually finishing the book while standing on your hands. The story ingeniously employs the rush of blood to the head. By adapting this principle, Revelations That Come In The Thick Of Anger and the like can be created easily.
This happens during a flight between Tokyo and Seattle. The copy of Confession To Someone With Three Arms that I have purchased from the kiosk sits on my lap. I try flipping through it, but as usual nothing sticks in my mind. It might be the flight speed, but the letters seem to lag ever so slightly behind the page, scrambling to catch up. Absorbed by their movements, I am only able to see a mass of print; I am utterly distracted.
At this stage, I give up the pointless struggle and start to think about books that make use of the movements of letters. Every time I travel, the same thing happens. I stuff two or three books in my bag, even buy additional books during the trip, but strangely, I have yet to get very far in any of them.
The ability to convert these vague feelings into wealth instead of words is called business sense.
While no multimillionaire, it is by listening to such fancies as these that Mr. A. A. Abrams amasses a respectable fortune.
This all happens during a flight between Tokyo and Seattle.
Mr. Abrams is a man who is continually onboard planes, without having any particular destination. Flying is his business, and so he flies as much as he can, staying in hotels near airports when forced to remain on land. He is neither flight attendant nor pilot, just a traveler with nowhere to go.
Be sure and check it all out.
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .
It hasn't quite neared the pitch of the waiting-in-line-at-midnight Harry Potter days, but in small bookstores and reading circles of New York City, an aura has attended the novelist Elena Ferrante and her works. One part curiosity (Who is she?),. . .
From the late 1940s to the early 1950s, Egypt was going through a period of transition. The country's people were growing unhappy with the corruption of power in the government, which had been under British rule for decades. The Egyptians'. . .

Kamal Jann by the Lebanese born author Dominique Eddé is a tale of familial and political intrigue, a murky stew of byzantine alliances, betrayals, and hostilities. It is a well-told story of revenge and, what's more, a serious novel that. . .

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
