"I have been a fan of Tiny Prints for 4 years, and never plan to deviate! It is such an awesome feeling to pick out a card design, put my family's image on it, see the preview, input my recipients' address information, then click buy and know the cards will arrive in the mail box the way I intended. I never left the seat of my computer desk. Just AWESOME!!"

"My order of the iPhone 5 cover, "Bordered Snapshots" in White, was so easy to place. It arrived quickly, and was even better than pictured. It was a present for my Mom, a first time Grandmother. She cries happy tears every time she looks at it! The only problem was choosing which pics of my precious little one to use!"

"I can not say enough about how much I love Tiny Prints. I use them exclusively for every mailing I need to do. After uploading the addresses of our friends and family a couple years ago, I just check the boxes for the ones I want to send something to and it's all done for me. I prefer to not use address labels, but do not care to spend the time addressing envelopes. The designs are elegant, but still work with silly photos of children.
It's worth the money every time when people ask where I got such adorable cards." -

"For our first Christmas Card with our new baby, we wanted something simple and elegant, but glamorous with a little bit of sparkle. This was perfect! It made our family photo front and center and it was so easy to make on-line. Shipped in perfect condition and right on time. Everyone loved them."
Dec 27, 2013
"I think I received exceptionally wonderful service from Tiny Prints. The staff person I worked with to put together my Christmas card was amazing. Her helpful suggestions and patience with someone like me, who couldn't imagine being able to make a card on-line, was great! I even got my cards before the stated delivery date."
Dec 26, 2013
"My first purchase on Tiny Prints was an invite for my son's first birthday in the summer of 2010 and I've found all my cards here since, for Christmas, thank yous, 2nd and 3rd birthdays and birth announcements for my daughter will be purchased soon. I love looking through all the options and designs to find the perfect fit for my favorite photo. My friends now call me their Tiny Prints poster child. Thanks!"
Dec 24, 2013
"Tiny Prints took the hassle out of selecting, designing, and purchasing our Christmas Cards. The whole process took about 45 minutes. I am so happy with the final product and have received numerous compliments on our cards. I am already looking forward to using Tiny Prints for the next holiday."
Dec 23, 2013
"I really love Tiny Prints!! This is my second order from them and it will definitely not be my last! I bought several coffee mugs with my daughter's picture on them for Christmas presents and they turned out great! The packaging they came in is so cute too! I will be using Tiny Prints in the future!"
Dec 22, 2013
"This was the first year I ordered from your company. I was really excited about the quality of the card / photo, the timeliness of my shipment, and the customer care department who helped me with a special request. I have to send out 150+ cards each year. Many of the cards I send are to my husband's clients, so I really appreciate the excellent overall experience I had with your company. Would love if you would sell custom address labels. I could do my one stop shopping with Tiny Prints for the holidays!"
Dec 20, 2013
"This is my second Christmas season to have our family holiday cards by Tiny Prints. I will shop no place else for years to come! We love the festive, chic and adorable card designs. Not to mention, our family card stands out among the other cards our friends and families have sent us. (I'm not biased, I'm just being honest.)
May I also take a moment to compliment Tiny Prints on your superior and professional customer service? Our Christmas card reorder came nearly 48 hours later than the original estimated time of arrival, but that wasn't a problem for us. However, the customer service team went above and beyond to grant us a refund for the delay. It was a great surprise! We truly appreciate this wonderful company, its staff and the unique product line. Thank you, Tiny Prints!" -
Dec 20, 2013
"I have ordered from Tiny Prints on several occasions for thank you cards, announcements and Christmas cards. The end product is absolutely amazing and the designers are so accommodating no matter how picky I am; they manage not to get annoyed with me!! Every time I send out one of your cards, I sit back and wait for the calls from our friends and family to tell us how amazing they are!"
Dec 19, 2013
"I'm a professional photographer on hiatus and wanted an "easy" and fast option this year that was equal to what I've always offered my clients in the past. I was very impressed with the template selection and the paper / die-cut choices offered online — and even more impressed when I had the cards in hand.
With more and more clients opting for digital negative purchases vs. traditional custom card design, the print-color and paper quality of Tiny Prints is top-notch and I will highly recommend them from now on!" -
Dec 19, 2013
"I've ordered Christmas/Holiday cards the last two years and have received many compliments from our friends even asking who we have ordered from so they could do the same. I've also had Tiny Prints address and mail the cards for me which is a huge time saver. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and will definitely continue to use them in the future."
Dec 17, 2013
"I used Tiny Prints for my 2013 holiday card order and was pleasantly surprised! Not only was there a wide selection of trendy holiday card designs, but the designing process was so simple! The price was very reasonable, shipping was free, and my cards arrived BEFORE their delivery date! The quality of the paper and printing was amazing. I ordered the Pearl white shimmer paper and loved it! I underestimated how many cards I needed this year and was a bit worried when I had to reorder cards, but that process was even easier than designing them initially! My second set of cards arrived the next day!
Thanks for saving my sanity this holiday season, Tiny Prints! I will certainly be a repeat customer in the near future!" -

"I used Tiny Prints for the first time this year and have placed and received a total of three orders since November (for holiday cards and Christmas ornaments). I have been pleased with all three of my orders. I was worried about the photo I chose too because I didn't like the unnecessary 'clutter' in the background. I was thrilled to find out that Tiny Prints' design service could Photoshop the ugly stuff in the background and make the photo look exactly like I wanted it to look. I chose to have a digital proof done. The cost for the digital proof was reasonable and was very helpful. The design work was done quickly. The proof was emailed to me to review it and request additional changes was very easy. The revised proof was sent back quickly and exactly as I wanted. The approval process was easy, too. The cards look great. My order was shipped and delivered when promised.
The website is very easy to use. They have lots of different styles of cards to choose from and I love the fact they provide different ways to filter the choices down based upon the number of photos you want to use, whether or not the photos will be oriented portrait or landscape, flat cards vs. folded cards, etc. It is easy to upload photos and quickly tell how they will look in the various styles of cards that you are considering, and you can save your projects and come back later to work on them.
They have a 100% satisfaction policy, so there isn't a risk to trying their products. I interacted with the Customer Service via the phone as well as email and they were always very responsive in answering my questions and seemed very knowledgeable about the products. In fact, someone noticed a problem with my second order before it was even shipped and took the steps to correct it without me even knowing that it happened. The extra work delayed my shipment a bit, so they decided to send it to me via FedEx two-day shipping. I was satisfied with how they resolved the delayed shipment, but they went even further and surprised me by sending me a generous "We're sorry" coupon to use on a future order. Problems happen now and then with any vendor, but how those problems are resolved is the real test of the quality of a merchant. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and I will definitely consider using them again." -
Dec 17, 2013
"We ordered our holiday cards from Tiny Prints for the third year in a row and after our experience this year, I will never use any service other than Tiny Prints — you are simply the best! Your customer service far exceeded my expectations — I ordered my cards late this year and when the order didn't arrive when expected, I received a partial refund and a backup order was expedited in case the first order doesn't deliver. I regret not remembering the woman's name who helped me, because she was fabulous! That's how you earn a loyal customer — thank you!"
Dec 16, 2013
"My order arrived as promised to the date. I'm so VERY pleased with the quality! This is my first time ordering through Tiny Prints and I'm so thankful they arrived as scheduled and they look great!
Please extend my gratitude to the entire team.
I've already handed out a few (in the neighborhood) and the cards have gotten RAVE reviews. I over heard my youngest tell Grandma "they are the best ones we've ever sent, Grandma".
Thanks so much! I can't wait until my friends and family receive theirs!" -
Dec 16, 2013
"I LOVE using Tiny Prints and the recent customer service I received has secured me as a customer for life! The representative that helped me track my order and ensure my awesome Christmas cards would be received on time was courteous, professional, and incredibly helpful! Thank you for all of your help! Happy holidays!"
Dec 16, 2013
"I received my Christmas cards a week ago, right on time, and am very pleased with them. I have had positive experiences with Tiny Prints and Wedding Paper Divas for five years. Love the selection of holiday cards and have always had positive experiences with customer service. You've made a loyal customer!"
Dec 16, 2013
"Just received my first order. I had to speak with Customer Service before completing my order and was given the most excellent and kind service! My cards arrived quickly and the they are beautiful (and better than I imagined). I will definitely use Tiny Prints again and will tell my friends too."
Dec 15, 2013
"Just talked with a representative today at customer service and she was fantastic! There was a mistake with the final version of my holiday cards, but the representative was so nice, patient, and went above and beyond to make it right. I haven't seen the finished cards yet, but I think they'll be beautiful! This is my third year using Tiny Prints, and assuming these turn out great, I will definitely keep using them again. Very thankful for such great customer service!!"
Dec 14, 2013
"I couldn't be more happy with my order from Tiny Prints. The print was beautiful and the process was so easy for a busy mom like myself. I had a little issue with shipping, so I contacted the company via love chat. I was so pleased with the way I was treated I didn't even care my package was late. Their customer care is on point and it felt so good to be accommodated and valued as a customer. THANKS Tiny Prints, I'll be shopping with you again soon."
Dec 14, 2013
"Really great service. I had previously used Tiny Prints upon the birth of my first child. So happy with that, I returned again for my most recent order for my second son's announcement card. I have recommended to my sister who also welcomed her first child, as these are very special items they truly deserve the quality Tiny Prints offers. Thanks for a great service with overseas delivery in record time, even earlier than the due delivery date."
Dec 13, 2013
"I have been using Tiny Prints for a few years now for Christmas cards. I tried another company last year and ended up sending the cards back and ordering from Tiny Prints because I missed how they turned out. This year I had a flaw in a small percentage of my cards and I was just very impressed with the customer service I received. They were pleasant and patient, even though they're extremely busy and they gave me a credit for the flawed cards (my choice.) Consider me a loyal customer!"
Dec 13, 2013
"These last few years I've always relied on Tiny Prints for our family holiday card. They've always done a great job and so I kept coming back.
This year was no different but when the cards arrived (on the day they said it would) it seemed a change I'd requested was overlooked. In an organization of any size mistakes must happen. I was just unlucky.
I imagine this is one of their busiest times of the year — but I called. Rather than having to hold someone called me back. They were friendly and helpful. Within a minute they identified the problem, fixed it, and expedited the order. Without asking they even issued a partial refund for shipping.
I was off the phone in 5 minutes and already received an email confirmation.
People are usually motivated to review a company when they've had a bad experience. When I feel someone has gone above and beyond to help me like this (rare), I do my best to tell anyone who'll listen. Thank you!" -
Dec 13, 2013
"For many years we made our Christmas cards through another company. Last year we were disappointed with the quality, but this year we decided to give that company one last chance. The quality was so abysmal, they were unusable. Most photos were too dark to distinguish. For the first time ever, we called to get them to reprint, but they wouldn't. We got a refund.
I went straight to Tiny Prints, who many friends used last year. We paid the extra service fee for the designer review, and were pleased with the communication from him. The cards came quickly, especially considering the time of the year. They are lovely. Great quality. Nice finish. We love them! You now have another loyal customer." -
Dec 13, 2013
"Everything with Tiny Prints was great! My family usually has a designer specially design our Christmas cards because we were never satisfied with other options. The designer closed her business and we had no idea what we were going to do. Then my friend suggested that I look at Tiny Prints. My mother was very skeptical, but when she saw the final outcome she loved them! We will definitely be ordering from Tiny Prints in the future!
Thank you so much for making the process smooth, fast, and easy!" -
Dec 13, 2013
"I really like the designs that Tiny Prints offers. Their website is easy to use and I received my order before the expected date. The order is perfect and our cards are quite nice. I've gotten a nice response from friends and even requests for information about Tiny Prints. The price was reasonable and we will use this service again."
Dec 13, 2013
"We are a small business and wanted to send Christmas/Holiday greetings in a more personalized way with a focus on our product. Tiny Prints provided the link we needed to fulfill our wishes with a reasonable budget. We will definitely use this site again and I will likely come back for my own personal use. Many thanks for a great product!"
Dec 12, 2013
"I ordered my holiday cards the day after Thanksgiving, and received a great promotion on the order. The cards came very quickly and look fantastic. The paper quality is very high and the printing is great. This is the fourth year of using Tiny Prints for our holiday cards and we couldn't be more pleased."
Dec 12, 2013
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU! I have used Tiny Prints for holiday cards for the past four years. This year, unfortunately, I had an error on a print order. I called spoke with a representative in customer service. She was extremely helpful and understanding. She explained that I could return the order and not get charged, and walked me through how to make a new order. I was extremely impressed with the customer service. I will continue to use Tiny Prints in the years to come. Thank you again!"
Dec 12, 2013
"I had purchased some items for Christmas gifts this year and forget to use the free shipping code they give online. I called Tiny Prints customer service and they quickly and kindly took care of the shipping charges on my account. They were easy and friendly to work with. I'll be visiting Tiny Prints for gifts in the future. They are wonderful."
Dec 11, 2013
"I love Tiny Prints! I love all the products I've ordered, but what keeps me coming back is the amazing customer service. There was an issue with my mailing address and when I emailed about the problem, I heard back almost immediately and they fixed the it and upgraded the shipping. This is why I keep coming back. I know my products will be top notch and if there is a problem, it will be taken care of."
Dec 07, 2013
"I am amazed. I ordered my cards late on a Tuesday and they were delivered on Thursday! It was a short week in the US and they were printed and I live in a rural area in Ontario, Canada. WOW! Thank you!
Not only did the delivery blow me away, but the cards were AMAZING and the packaging was beautiful.
Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season. I can't wait to order from you again." -
Dec 07, 2013
"I cannot say enough about how thrilled I am with how my Christmas cards came out this year! I have been doing annual Christmas cards for over 20 years and Tiny Prints have been the best most beautiful cards out of them all!!! I will definitely be using Tiny Prints every year from now on to continue my tradition! Everybody has been raving about how awesome my cards look this year! They are so classy! I honestly LOVE my cards this year! Thank you, Tiny Prints!"
Dec 06, 2013
"Tiny Prints is amazing. I've used them for several years now. Their cards are fresh and artistic with something for everyone...and the website is very easy to use. I utilize the proof option and this year, I had to revise my cards several times. The person working on my cards returned each of the corrected proofs within minutes. She even called me the first time to let me know one of my Jpeg files were cropped incorrectly. Super service."
Dec 06, 2013
"I am so pleased with my holiday cards! The quality is amazing, the shipping is super fast, and it is so easy to create them on the computer! I had fun making the cards, and I absolutely love the fact that you can personalize any card, then compare your favorites. They have a great selection of amazing cards; it was hard to choose just one! I enjoyed everything about the experience ordering from Tiny Prints, and I can't wait to order again! Thank you Tiny Prints!"
Dec 06, 2013
"I've ordered holiday cards twice from Tiny Prints and absolutely loved the result both times. The site is easy to navigate, the card options are beautiful and the resulting product is truly high quality. I ordered a standard matte card and was pleased to see how thick and substantial the card was. The photo treatments all work so well that it was hard to decide among them (the "vintage" color filter is very cool)! When I forgot to apply a promotion code, I emailed customer service and the credit was applied the following day. Awesome product, awesome service."
Dec 06, 2013
"I absolutely love our holiday cards. We're a newly engaged couple and this was my first experience sending holiday cards to send to friends and family. It was easy to customize my cards to suit our personal style and the options were endless! I pursued several avenues looking for the best value and styles; I found everything in one place here. I am looking forward to using Tiny Prints again for my stationery needs in the future."
Dec 06, 2013
"I love using Tiny Prints because of the unique, high design cards I can create for the holidays. I enjoy playing around with my photos, editing text; overall creating the perfect card for family and friends. This year, I wanted some simple editing done to a photo layout that I couldn't do myself online, so I ended up partnering with a designer (free of charge). He went above and beyond my expectations! He was not only talented in inputting his design expertise, but was extremely professional in communicating back to me (within 24 hrs and sometimes sooner)! I cannot say enough about Tiny Prints' customer service — they are an amazing company with professional employees, and I will definitely be a lifelong customer! Thanks for all your hard work during this busy holiday season!!"
Dec 06, 2013
"I received my Christmas cards so quickly and they were perfect. Tonight's plan was to address them, but I couldn't find the box anywhere. After turning my house upside down and losing it in front of my daughter, I came to the conclusion that they must have been accidentally thrown out. After pouring my heart out to one of the representatives at Tiny Prints' Customer Service, she kindly told me not worry, and that she would have my cards reprinted and reshipped. I'm so grateful, and thank the representative for her sensitivity and compassion. Thank you Tiny Prints, for meeting the needs of your customers. You will forever have my business."
Dec 04, 2013
"I return every year to order Christmas cards. I now have a beautiful collection of wonderful Christmas cards that are filled with great memories. Tiny Prints are by far and away the best site of their kind and the cards are just amazing! I always get lots of wonderful comments about how beautiful they are and how every one really loves them. Tiny Prints makes me look a lot more clever than I actually am!! I can't speak highly enough of their service, quality and fast delivery (even to Australia). Thank you Tiny Prints! I'll be back again next year!"
Dec 03, 2013
"Tiny Prints was highly recommended by my daughter, so I decided to order my Christmas cards. Not being very computer savvy I had to call for help in order to upload my photo. The young man was wonderful, friendly and I a could tell he had smile on his face when he was helping me. My cards came so quickly I couldn't believe it. They came before the date indicated. The cards are gorgeous. The card stock is heavy and even the "free" envelopes are excellent quality. I didn't expect them to be so nice. My picture was a little underexposed, so I was worried that it wouldn't print well, but it looks beautiful. I will definitely recommend Tiny Prints!"
Dec 03, 2013
"I used Tiny Prints for the first time to order some baby shower invitations because I received a coupon in my registry welcome bag. The website was easy to use and they had many choices for me. It was super easy to design my card the way I wanted to and the shipment came in very quickly. The quality matches the price — not overly nice — but for the price they are pretty good."
Dec 03, 2013
"I ordered my son's Bar Mitzvah invitations. They were beautiful! The design service and the digital proof were very helpful in making the invitation just perfect! The pearlized finish and rounded corners gave it a classy look. The price could not have been beat anywhere. The quality is excellent and so were the coordinating items, many of which I purchased. I would not hesitate designing my own invitations again with Tiny Prints."
Dec 03, 2013
"Tiny Prints continues to be my absolute FAVORITE holiday card maker every year. The quality is superb and the pictures turn out exactly the way I want. I love them every time! The reps also work with their returning customers to make sure that they are always happy and satisfied with their product. Thank you so much for a job well done. I am reordering the cards to send to additional people. Happy Holidays and thank you for giving great customer care."
Dec 02, 2013
"I could not be more pleased with the Christmas cards I ordered. The paper quality was excellent and so was the printing quality. I appreciated the options that were available for color schemes, envelopes, and address labels. Also, I want to compliment the customer service. The hand-written thank you note I received from the person who helped me during a chat session was the capstone to my experience with Tiny Prints. Your company is the model of great quality and great service!"
Dec 02, 2013
"I received my order today...at least a day earlier than planned. I just had to give a positive shout out to the beauty, perfection, and quality of this card. I got the black background, and everything was perfect and beautiful! The card stock is also a thicker quality which I have had to pay more for at other card sites. Thank you, Tiny Prints, for caring about the details! I will definitely order again next year!!"
Dec 02, 2013
"I absolutely love Tiny Prints! Every time we have an event or a card that needs to be sent out, Tiny Prints is the first place I go. Their products are so modern, but yet so classic; their products are always a good price, and they make sure you have all the support you need. I will definitely keep using Tiny Prints!!"
Dec 01, 2013
"I ordered a lot of gifts from Tiny Prints and I was a bit worried because a majority of the photos were from my phone. I left a note in one of the gifts to ask that the designer double check that the enlarged photo is not blurry before printing. I received a prompt and kind email about my order. I was overjoyed at the high quality of the products once I received them and I will most definitely be using Tiny Prints to order personalized photo gifts in the future. The selection is amazing and the quality and follow through of the staff is much appreciated. I felt like I was ordering from a small store down the street."

Stacy Wolf loves "Les Miserables" despite its problematic gender roles: "'Les Miserables' should have feminists like me up in arms. The musical takes the female characters from a 150-year-old novel about a French rebellion and makes them bit players — even though they figure prominently in the book (and in the marketing for the musical and movie). They exist not to drive the plot but to sacrifice for the men, the real stars of the show. But I can't help it: I love 'Les Miz.' As a theater historian who studies gender and sexuality in the American musical, when women are abused or marginalized on stage, I notice. Yet 'Les Miz' never fails to move me." WASHINGTON POST

15 Minutes of Fame: Disabled mom finds outlet in WoW {WoW}
Apr 30th 2008 10:46AM Comments like some of the above are the best reason for the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). This type of legislation allows those who might otherwise be marginalized by a lack of access to services or workplaces to overcome a disability and function as members of a society that would previously have warehoused them (or supported them exclusively through welfare or other social aid programs). The fact that WoW can provide a forum for people with debilitating medical conditions speaks to the inclusiveness of the social framework, despite the ignorant bigotry displayed by some of that frameworks lesser members. I enjoy being part of a game that allows those who otherwise would have limited opprotunities for social interactions to find a medium for interpersonal connection. The fact that some feel the need to attack (and there is always someone who will attack whatever the subject- I believe the social scientists call them tools or 'assholes') is a regrettable consequence of inclusiveness. If you let everyone in, you have to let in people you don't like.
Gaming has been (in my lifetime at least- and I'm 32) at the forefront of social development. Systems like WoW are where the rubber meets the road and the ideas tried here will lead (I believe inevitably) to a greater world where those who are disabled or housebound or whatever will have access to opprotunities and just plain fun that would have been inconceivable even when I was a child. It really is a brave new world and I, for one, think that cannot help but be a good thing.
For those of you who want to attack me I will admit up front- I have no credentials in any of the things I've said. I just read books and think about things. You're welcome to try it (it can be fun). Feel free to disregard my opinion as many have done in the past.

We recently bought a 36" BlueStar with four burners and a charbroiler. It replaced a crappy 30" KitchenAid that came with the house when we bought it. We now need to upgrade our hood. We unfortunately cannot go wider than 36". I'm looking at a VAH wall mount that is 18" high and 27" deep. My concerns are a) it only has 600 cfm, and 2) I've read enough posts on this forum to know not everyone here thinks VAH is a good brand. I've looked at the Prestige, but it's pretty pricey. Suggestions? |

For affordable hoods with lots of options, check out the Broan "Elite" hood series. There are several pro-styles available and you can match them to a wide variety of Broan blowers: interior, in-line and remote wall or roof mount, with CFM ratings up to 1,500. I installed a Broan hood with my BlueStar cooktop several years ago and I am very pleased with both. |

For my 36" 6 burner CC rangetop, I was planning on a 1000cfm Kobe hood with baffle filters (well-rated here and not $$$) until I found a deal on a beautiful 600cfm Rangecraft hood on clearance. You might want to check out Kobe. |

Whenever my husband and I fight, he says I've done nothing to help the marriage. He's recently retired; I work full time, I do what I can around the house. I pay the bills; make the appointments, etc. He takes care of the dog during the day and runs the errands.
Everything I say that I do, he says "you would have done that if you were single". The point is, I'm doing it now for us. I feel like I'm in a no-win situation. This is a small part of my situation. My story's long and complicated and I don't want to get into it right now. I think I'm just venting right now because I don't have anyone I'd want to confide in. |

Well then if he doesn't like the way things are going or the way you are doing things...then hand the reins over to him. Don't do the things you are doing for your marriage. And stick to it. Let him do all that you do and see how he manages. After all he is home all the time being retired. NancyLouise |
When he says "I can hire somebody to do this", it demeans what I do. Sometimes I'm tempted to say, "you're home all day", but I know what the reaction will be (I don't think he's adjusting well to retirement). |
When he says "I can hire somebody to do this", tell him, "Well, go right ahead", and stop doing it. |
Among the stupid things any semi-intelligent husband would know not to say to his wife, this is right up there. He should expect to be called on it. |
Did he say all this before he retired ? |

This is actually a pretty good place to vent, if you're not too thin skinned. The advantage is, you won't run into us at a family gathering, supermarket etc. Venting can be a great release! My DH and I had a bad patch about a year ago last spring and venting here probably saved me from bashing him with a heavy object. |

Like you said, you are venting on here,we all need to do that at times,we need to know more of your story to give any advice but im guessing your husband feels jelous you have a working life whilst he now doesnt. |

I don't know what you're fighting about, so don't know how his claim that you've done nothing to help the marriage plays into the issues. I do know, though, that my husband retired some years before I did and when that happened he picked up a lot of those extra tasks. He has disabilities and that imposed limits on what he could do, but he didn't expect me to pay the bills, make appointments, etc. because he had the time for them. I agree with the previous poster. If he is dissatisfied and says he can hire someone, let him. Right now it sounds like you have two full-time jobs and he has none. It's time he carried more of the weight. It's OK also to let some things slide if he's unwilling. Bills, of course, have to be paid. He should do it, but if he doesn't you don't want your own financial well-being to be at risk. But a lot of other things aren't all that necessary. Let them go and let him see what it's like without you doing all those additional tasks. |

I just found some odd-looking gray and white worms on some shoots off of a lemon tree stump. They are feeding on the leaves. I found a similar one some time ago on a small lemon tree that I purchased earlier. That one kept coming back after I'd knock it off until I finally killed it. The are about the size of caterpillars, mostly gray with white patches on them. Any ideas from anyone on what they are? |
Follow-Up Postings:
They are the zebra butterfly caterpillars. They eat a lot of leaves, but they don't harm the tree. They really stink if you touch them too. Cheryl |
Oops! My mistake, not the zebra, it's the black and yellow swallowtail. Cheryl |
- Posted by sam_mcgowan Z9 TX (My Page) on Tue, Sep 7, 10 at 17:19
I went back and found that one had gotten back on the leaves of the lemon tree. Actually, I'm not so sure it's not a slug rather than a caterpillar. It's about 2 inches or so long and the coloring is actually sort of mottled, with dark gray, light gray and some light brown. The only places I've seen them are on lemon leaves. |
Giant swallowtail caterpillars look different at various times. At one stage they are brown/gray and with their shape they do look sort of slug like. They also look like a bird dropping to fool predaters. Here's a picture I took of one on my Satsuma citrus. If it looks anything like this Cheryl is right. If so -- lucky you! They make beautiful large butterflies. |

Struggling to find a girls name - Please HELP !
I am only 12 weeks along, so i know that i have lots of time to find the perfect name for our little one, but it just seems that EVERY name i think i like either looks odd written down with my last name, or it sounds like a street name. It's very frustrating to me because DH and I had no trouble at all choosing a boys name, but finding a girls name seems to be getting harder and harder for some reason.
ANY suggestions you have for a girls name that would look / sound good with our last name would be MUCH appreciated !
Last Name - Waye.
Thank you everyone.

Zarya Waye
Leonie Waye
Clarissa Waye
Anastasia Waye (although avoid nn Anna... "Anna Waye" sounds like "anyway"!)

random found available light as portrait lighting
With the recent trip to California for the workshops, I was also keen to meet up with another favorite model, Bethany. We were allowed to shoot in a night-club on a Sunday afternoon when it was all quiet with no one there. It's an interesting place to work with a beautiful model, finding interesting spots and then figuring out how I might adapt my flash setup. I had 4 speedlights with me and 2 softboxes and a slew of the new PocketWizards.
The first series of photos of Bethany however, was shot with just the available light there. But first I had to recognize the light as being interesting light for a portrait. I had to "see" it first. As it happened, I only saw that this might be useful light for a portrait when I did a few test shots while Bethany was having her hair and make-up done.
As photographers we should always be aware of the light, and how the interplay between light and shade affects our subject. And how the quality and color of light changes.
Sadly though, I didn't recognize that the light was interesting just by looking at this scene. I only saw it once the test images popped up on the back of the camera, and I went hmmm!
Here is a pull-back shot a little bit later on, when Bethany was completely ready. The main light was simply that bare incandescent light-bulb which the make-up artist used to do Bethany's make-up. Simple as that.
But the magic happened in how the warm Tungsten light worked with the much colder existing light within the night-club. I'm not sure what the other light source was, but it looks like it might be Daylight balanced light-sources in the night-club. Perhaps more blue / colder than that. Whatever it was, it looked great in that first few shots of Bethany's prep.
When Bethany was ready, this is then where we started.
posing and directing a model
When working with hand-held video-light, we most often work by moving the light until it falls onto our subject in a way that is flattering. But with the single light-source now being static, I had to direct Bethany so that the light shining on her was flattering. It helps in that Bethany is an experienced model, being able to work with very little direction from the photographer. But she, like most models, will have no immediate idea what the photographer is attempting in terms of lighting. I did show her the test shots during prep, so she knew what I was after, but she still needed to be directed.
In posing her, I had her leaning into the light a bit, taking care that I got loop lighting. The way that the shadow falls under her nose, means it is just that 'loop' of shadow there. It is most often the way that I use a hard or small light source. It keeps from weird shadows falling over your subject's mouth, or a strong shadow of your subject's nose falling across their cheek. So I tend to keep it simple like this, since it is usually the best place to start and get good results immediately.
Now it was just a matter of a few quiet instructions like, 'drop your chin a little bit'; 'turn your head slightly more to me' … until the light looked good falling on her.
And there's the result:
camera settings: 1/60 @ f2.8 @ 1000 ISO
Nikon D3; Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 AF-S II (B&H) … zoomed to 155mm
That was just the start of the photo session though. What I really was after was working with multiple speedlights in those interesting nooks in the night-club. But that's for another article.

Im planting bush beans for the first time this year and im wondering what your favorite varietys are? Im looking for heaviest yeilding. I bought some Provider Green beans and they look pretty good anyone have any opinions?
Thank you :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
A lot of people like Contender, it is good bean, but I prefer Empress for a green snap and Cherokee Wax for a wax bean. I am trying Roma II, Annelino di Trento, Antea and Golden Wax this year as well to see if I have any winners. Dean |
- Posted by farmerdilla (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 10 at 11:42
Newer introductions like Valentino, Hialeah etc will have larger yield potential. Contender has been around for a while (1950) and has best flavor of any bush bean for southern style cooking. Not everyone likes it however. Good producer. Your Provider is also a pretty good bean. I don't care for the taste but the Blue Lake bush varieties are good producers and relatively popular. |
I tried Nano Vittoria and Hildora this season and they did very well for me, taste as well as production. Yesterday's harvest Silvia |

I take it you're looking for snap bush beans? I have a few favorites. Derby is a great green bush bean. It held up well to some less than desirable weather here in the Northeast the past few years (cool & rainy). Blue Lake Bush beans are another great green bean, produces well and is readily available at big box stores & gardening centers. Cherokee Wax & Kinghorn Wax are great yellow beans and you can find them in the "cheap" seeds. Purple Queen is my favorite purple bush bean. I think it produces a little better than Royalty Purple or Royalty Burgundy. I also love Dragon Tongue beans (yellow with purple streaks) for the novelty. |

Iran faces a fresh obstacle to turning its most lucrative export into cash as the U.S. tightens sanctions this week to keep importers from paying for the oil with dollars and euros.
Whether crude costs $60 a barrel or twice that amount, the U.S. is almost free of depending on imported energy and positioned to supplant Saudi Arabia as the world's No. 1 producer of oil.
Qatar appointed Mohammed Saleh Al Sada as energy minister, replacing Abdullah Al-Attiyah , an architect of the Persian Gulf nation's transformation into the world's biggest exporter of liquefied natural gas.
Iraq will ask to rejoin OPEC's quota system for crude output in 2014 as the holder of the world's fifth-largest oil reserves boosts production from an average of 2.9 million barrels a day.
Libya may be able to export as much as 1.2 million barrels of oil a day, equal to between one and two tanker cargoes, within the next 12 months, according to IHS Energy.
Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi is facing a fourth month without the diesel cargoes needed to power tanks as he endures an 11-week air campaign led by NATO.
A glut of the biggest oil tankers in the Persian Gulf expanded, a Bloomberg survey showed, adding to pressure on owners facing returns near the lowest level in at least four years.
Occidental Petroleum Corp. won a contract to join Abu Dhabi's state oil company in developing the $10 billion Shah natural-gas project, beating out Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell Plc .
Sekavin SA, a Greek fuel supplier, said it's investigating the origin of a cargo aboard an Iranian tanker off the Mediterranean island of Syros amid a European Union ban on purchases from the Middle East nation.
Middle East oil producers and international companies will meet this week to discuss how to tap heavy crude, a thicker form of the commodity that's harder to refine, to boost output capacity even as prices fall.

This is written in response to your recent letter requesting our advice on a question pertaining to the authority of a board of county commissioners under the provisions of RCW 70.44.030.
This statute pertains to the formation of hospital districts encompassing an area covering less than an entire county. It reads as follows:
"Any petition for the formation of a public hospital district may describe a less area than the entire county in which the petition is filed, the boundaries of which shall follow the then existing precinct boundaries and not divide any voting precinct; and in the event that such a petition is filed containing not less than ten percent of the voters of the proposed district who voted at the last general election, certified by the auditor in like manner as for a county-wide district, the board of county commissioners shall fix a date for a hearing on such petition, and shall publish the petition, without the signatures thereto appended, for two weeks prior to the date of hearing, together with a notice stating the time of the meeting when such petition will be heard. Such publications required by this chapter shall be in a newspaper published in the proposed or established public hospital district, or, if there be no such newspaper, then in a newspaper published in the county in which such district is situated, and of general circulation in such county. The hearing on such petition may be adjourned from time to time, not exceeding four weeks in all. If upon the final [[Orig. Op. Page 2]] hearing the board of county commissioners shall find that any lands have been unjustly or improperly included within the proposed public hospital district the said board shall change and fix the boundary lines in such manner as it shall deem reasonable and just and conducive to the welfare and convenience and make and enter an order establishing and defining the boundary lines of the proposed public hospital district: Provided, That no lands shall be included within the boundaries so fixed lying outside the boundaries described in the petition, except upon the written request of the owners of such lands. Thereafter the same procedure shall be followed as prescribed in this chapter for the formation of a public hospital district including an entire county, except that the petition and election shall be confined solely to the lesser public hospital district." (Emphasis supplied.)
You have stated your question with respect to the authority of a board of county commissioners under this statute as follows:
"My question is whether or not the county commissioners at their hearing on the boundaries may change the boundaries of the proposed district so that they do not follow precinct lines and second, whether or not the commissioners have authority at such hearing to omit an entire precinct which has been included in the petition."
You have also indicated in your letter that some expression of our opinion on this question is essential prior to the final hearing of the board of county commissioners with respect to the particular proposed district, which is currently scheduled to be held on September 14, 1970, so what follows should simply be regarded as constituting our best judgment as to the meaning and intent of the legislature as manifested by its enactment of the subject statute, based upon our review of the statute in the limited period of time we have had since receipt of your opinion request. Of course, any decision which the board may make with respect to the matter must be regarded as being reviewable in the courts, should the appropriate procedures for obtaining judicial review be initiated by any persons aggrieved by the board's decision and order.
[[Orig. Op. Page 3]]
As we understand it, neither of the two component parts of your question contemplate the addition of any territory to the area of the proposed hospital district as described in the initial petition. Accordingly, the proviso to RCW 70.44.030, as quoted above, need not, and will not, be considered in this opinion.
With regard to the authority of a board of county commissioners to delete territory from the area of a proposed partial county hospital district as described in the initial petition therefor, the critical point to be first noted is that the authority of a board of county commissioners to make such a deletion before submitting the question of formation of the district to the voters1/ is predicated upon a finding by the board of county commissioners that the lands to be deleted ". . . have been unjustly or improperly included within the proposed public hospital district . . ." Only on the basis of such a finding can the board delete any territory from the area of the proposed district; and then, obviously, the only territory which can be deleted is that which has been found to have been unjustly or improperly included in the initial petition.
Secondly, once this initial determination has been made by the board, the requirement of the statute is that the board ". . . shall change and fix the boundary lines in such manner as it shall deem reasonable and just and conducive to the welfare and convenience, . . ." (Emphasis supplied.)
Clearly, if an entire voting precinct is encompassed in an area which the county commissioners have determined to have been "unjustly or improperly" included within a proposed district, and if, in their judgment, the deletion of this entire precinct will cause the boundary lines of the proposed district to be ". . . reasonable and just and conducive to the welfare and convenience, . . ." then the board is authorized to delete this entire voting precinct from the boundary of the proposed hospital district. However, as we read the statute, it would also be entirely proper, based upon a comparable determination by the board that only part of a voting precinct was "unjustly or improperly" included within the initial petition, for it to delete only such portion of the precinct, for we see no requirement in the statute that the hospital district, as finally organized (as distinguished [[Orig. Op. Page 4]] from the district as initially proposed) must adhere, in all respects, to the boundaries of the existing voting precincts.
We trust the foregoing will be of some assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
Philip H. Austin

Accessories and Documentation
Inside of a plastic bag found under the inner packaging you can find all of this. There is a manual, some extra feet, the pre-installation guide and the driver disc.
The GUI pre-installation guide simple states two things. Point number one is that if your language is covered in that statement, you can use the CD, if you are not included in the first statement, refer to the link to find a driver in your language.
The manual is multi-lingual, but offers very little information. It shows how to make the USB connection, and then says to add the software. After that is points out all of the buttons, talks of the hardware, and then addressed the GUI again.
Also tucked under the mouse is the weight kit. In a plastic case with a foam insert, the six 4.5 gram weights can be stored for use later. I found using all of these along with the weight already in the mouse is a bit much, but three or four feels just about right for me.

This article explains types of damage to structural brick walls. We explain how to recognize, diagnose, & evaluate movement and cracks in brick walls and how to recognize brick wall bowing or bulging and cracking failures. Our page top photo shows water and frost damage to a building in Poughkeepsie, NY. The author's hand and fingers are "measuring" the air space between brick wythes. In this case bulging of the outer brick wythes have opened up the air space beyond its original design. The wall, or portions of it are un-stable and at serious risk of collapse. Types of foundation cracks, crack patterns, differences in the meaning of cracks in different foundation materials, site conditions, building history, and other evidence of building movement and damage are described to assist in recognizing foundation defects and to help the inspector separate cosmetic or low-risk conditions from those likely to be important and potentially costly to repair. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. How to Identify Brick Veneer Walls versus Structural Brick WallsArticle Contents
Definition of structural brick wallsA structural brick wall is built to actually support the building floors and roof. At a minimum a structural brick wall is comprised of at least two wythes of brick bonded together by bricks placed crosswise in the wall or by metal fasteners. The wythes of brick are separated by an air space both for wall width dimensioning and for drainage (brick masonry cavity walls). We illustrate the properties of structural brick walls below at Structural Brick Wall Construction Details. Our photo (left) shows a water-damaged structural wall that was supporting an exterior porch. Thanks to an opening in this brick wall where bricks have fallen out due to water damage, you can see the air space between the wythes of brick. A bond course is also visible at the top course of bricks in the photo. This is a two-wythe structural brick wall that was supporting the porch. A "structural brick wall" is one that contributes to the support of the structure. Its multiple brick wythes give width and strength to the wall and are usually separated by an air space of about an inch to form a thicker, more dry wall. The wythes are tied or joined together at intervals by bond courses of brick laid across the wythes to connect them, or by steel fasteners or wire mesh or other means. Some structural masonry walls may be faced with brick (a brick veneer) that actually covers masonry block, stone, or even structural clay products. Referring to our photo above once again, other porch designs more often support the porch floor with piers or columns even if a brick wall was built to enclose the under-porch space. In those structures the brick wall may not be itself, contributing to the support of the structure and hence, not "structural". Definition of wythe or brick wythe
If you look at a brick masonry wall, one brick thickness of the wall is one wythe. A brick veneer wall constructed using full-dimension bricks will be one brick wythe in thickness (of the veneer). The total wall thickness will include the veneer wythe plus the thickness of the wall structure itself. Definition of veneer wallsA veneer wall of brick or stone is not a supporting structure. Rather it's a brick (or stone) "skin" or brick facing that is secured to the building (anchored brick veneer on wood frame construction) to give the appearance of a brick or stone building. Definition of brick veneer: A brick veneer is a single wythe of masonry for facing purposes, not considered as contributing to the structural value of the wall or surface. - Masonry Design Manual. In fact, the structure must be able to carry the weight of the veneer. We illustrate the construction properties of brick veneer walls at Brick Veneer Wall Construction Details Carson Dunlop Associates sketch (wall detail at far left) illustrates the usual manner in which a brick veneer wall is supported at the wall bottom. Structural Brick Wall Construction DetailsBond Courses Identify Structural Brick Walls - oftenBond courses tie together the multiple wythes of bricks that form a structural brick wall. You can spot a bond course by noticing the "ends" of bricks rather than the longer "stretcher" courses of brick. Those ends show (usually) that bricks were placed in the wall across the wythes of brick that comprise a structural brick wall. Photos of running bond courses and Flemish bond courses in structural brick walls:In our photo of a structural brick wall in a pre-1900 building in Hudson, NY (at left) you can see the horizontal running-bond courses - those "ends of bricks" seen in every fifth brick course. A Flemish bond brick wall pattern is shown in our photograph of a building on the Vassar College Campus (below-right). Watch out: some structural brick walls may not show bond courses - the wythes of brick may have been tied together using steel wire or other fasteners. Fake Bond Courses - Faux-Bonds for AppearanceOur photos (Below) show two very different cases: at left we see what looks like it might be a structural brick wall - to the left of the chimney where we see "bond courses" in the brickwork. But wait! What's going on to the right of the chimney - there are no bond courses. Actually the wall at right was a brick veneer structure. Bricks were applied over a concrete block building wall. The owner-builder, a mason himself, used "faux" bond courses in the some of the walls of his home - for aesthetic reasons. By contrast, the brick walls in our collapsing brick structure (below right) included bond courses but could not tolerate a foundation collapse below nor frost damage from roof leaks from above. At BRICK FOUNDATIONS & WALLS we describe the collapse of the structural brick walled building show below. Bulges: nderstanding Bulged or Bowed Structural Brick Walls: Collapse HazardsOur sketch (below left), courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates, shows what happens when a brick structural wall becomes bulged. This is an extremely dangerous condition threatening sudden and catastrophic building collapse. At BRICK FOUNDATION & WALL DEFECTS where we list types of brick wall and foundation defects, we illustrate cases of structural brick wall or foundation collapse. As we point out in that article, Watch out: Any movement in a structural brick wall which risks having broken the bond courses in the wall, and any movement in a brick veneer wall which has broken or loosened the connections between the veneer to the underlying structure are potentially dangerous and risk collapsing masonry! Also see FOUNDATION CRACK DICTIONARY which discusses in detail the process of evaluating foundation cracks and signs of foundation damage by examining the crack size, shape, pattern, and location. Damage: Examples of Water & Frost Damage to Brick WallsWater & Frost Damaged, Broken Bulging Brick WallsFrost damage to this brick wall occurred due to roof spillage that runs down the building wall of this Poughkeepsie New York building, a college gymnasium presently serving other uses. Water entering the space behind this facing wythe of bricks on this wall has led to continued frost-push and risk of collapse of at least the external portions of the wall. Cracked Bricks in Strutural Building WallsThe brick cracking on the facade of this New York City high rise building appears traceable to leaks on balconies at the abutment of balcony to the building structure. Also see BRICK WALL THERMAL EXPANSION CRACKS. Efflorescence Deposits on Brick Walls, Chimneys, FoundationsEfflorescence: white, yellow, brown deposits on Brick Walls, Chimneys, FoundationsOur photo (left) shows white mineral deposits on a structural brick wall. It is not a coincidence that nearby we also see lost mortar from joints in the same general area. Controlling roof runoff to keep water from flowing over building walls is always a challenge, especially on larger, taller buildings where access to maintain the gutter system is more difficult. But the most common cause of white fluffy mineral deposits on brick walls is water. See Efflorescence & white or brown deposits for details. Spalling Brick Building WallsThe brick spalling shown on this Beacon NY church (below-left) was caused by roof spillage and rain splash-up against the foundation wall. The structural brick walls on the second building (below right) show frost spalling damage to the brick wall, especially around the building windows. The brick surface loss (surface spalling and loss of the hard glazed finish) that occurs due to weathering, water and salt exposure (this is a retaining wall along the FDR expressway in Manhattan) leads to more severe frost damage that can include cracking and frost "pop out" of sections of individual bricks or entire brick portions of the structure. Our second photo of brick spalling damage (below right) shows that a portion of the wall has been rebuilt. Water-Damaged Brick Foundation: Loose bricksOur photo (left shows severe water and frost damage to the corner of a brick building, probably from roof spillage at the end of a gutter that was periodically clogged.
Lintels: Water, Frost, & Rust Damage at Steel Lintels over Windows or Doors in Brick WallsOur photo (left) shows a rusting steel lintel in a brick wall. Luckily in this case, the worst rust damage and exfoliating (flaking rusting) steel is over the window itself (at the right side of the photo). But in the 1980's we examined a New York City high rise building that had very expensive damage to nearly all of its brick exterior walls. Spalling and cracking had rather suddenly occurred at almost every window and door in the building not long after a new building maintenance superintendent had been employed. The new maintenance supervisor had ordered that all window and door lintels should be caulked where he had observed a gap between the upper surface of the steel lintel and the brick above. Unfortunately that caulk job trapped water above the lintel where frost (short term rapid damage) caused severe brick spalling and cracking. On other brick buildings whose windows and doors use steel lintels (to support bricks that must span over the opening), rusting steel lintels can also cause severe brick cracking and spalling. The lifting power of exfoliating steel (flaking rust) is very great. Don't caulk between the bricks and the steel lintel that supports them on a masonry or masonry-veneer building. On the other hand, it is usually ok to caulk on the underside of the lintel where it contacts the top of the window frame itself - our photo at left.
Especially if there is any evidence of cracking or brick wall movement, some careful inspection and further investigation would be needed in this area (perhaps there is a hidden window lintel or support not visible from the building exterior. Masonry & Brownstone Window & Door Lintel Damage & Repair
Methods of Repair of Brick Walls on Buildings, Structural vs VeneerRepairs / Reinforcement of Structural Brick Walls: Connectors, Special FastenersThe drawing at left, from Carson Dunlop Associates, shows how a structural brick wall may be reinforced laterally using a steel tie rod. In our photo of an antique building in Hudson, NY (below right) those three "stars" shown above the three windows of the second floor are probably functioning as giant "washers" securing a front-to-back anchor that secures the front wall of this structure against bulging or movement, possibly also securing the floor structure inside as you can see in the sketch at left. Repair of Brick Veneer WallsThe brick veneer wall shown in our photos (below) was rebuilt after a partial collapse. You can see some of the original veneer bricks on the ground.
Take a look at Thermal Expansion Cracking in Brick for more about brick veneers and types of veneer damage. Re-Pointing or Tuckpointing Brick WallsBrick walls that have lost mortar from the joints between bricks or brick courses may be repaired by re-pointing or "tuck pointing", a procedure that cleans and then replaces mortar that has been lost from joints. Our photo of a tuck-pointed structural brick wall (left) shows by the colored mortar that the mason attempted to match the color of older mortar in the wall. The repairs done at below right look good. But a different tuck pointing repair job (in the upper left portion of the photo where we are pointing to a damaged brick) has not fared as well, possibly due to a poor mortar choice and frost damage. Definition of Tuck Pointing:Tuck pointing is the filling in with fresh mortar of cut-out or defective mortar joints; in masonry this refers to the filling of joints in old (or damaged) masonry with fresh mortar. - Masonry Design Manual. Working with a long narrow trowel whose width and shape are chosen to match the existing mortar joints, the mason first cleans the existing mortar joints of loose mortar and debris, then pushes fresh mortar into the open joints. The mortar joint in the tuck pointed wall should tooled to match the existing mortar joints, and any mortar that has spilled onto the brick faces themselves should be cleaned before the new joints have fully hardened. Tuck pointing, which may be performed on both structural and veneer brick walls (as well as on other types of masonry) is performed for several reasons
The most common errors we see in brick wall tuckpointing include

Aaron Sorkin wants Daddy Newsman to explain to all those stupid Americans what's right and wrong.
The eyerolls come quickly when watching Aaron Sorkin's wretched new HBO news drama, The Newsroom. We're introduced to mostly pointless, unthreatening cable news host Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) sitting on a college journalism and/or politics panel (they're the same thing in Sorkin's world anyway). A man and woman bicker in the typical talking point checklist familiar to cable news network viewers (of slight point of interest, the debate indicates a progressive/libertarian divide rather than a left/right one, but it's just a meaningless framing device and not an indicator of anything to come).
A student asks an incredibly stupid question about what makes America the greatest country on earth, a question no actual student would ever ask. McAvoy, inexplicably pressed by the panel moderator for a real answer (rather than a joke about the New York Jets), blows up, slips into a paternalistic rant, insulting the student (who is of course a young blonde girl), and spitting out a list of improbably memorized context-free nation rankings as proof that America isn't the bestest thing ever.
McAvoy's rant ultimately leads to most of his staff abandoning him for a new show on the same network and his boss, Charlie Skinner (Sam Waterston, engaged in a permanent "Who's a bigger blowhard?" fight with Daniels), bringing in McAvoy's ex-girlfriend Mackenzie MacHale (Emily Mortimer as some sort of human blur) to get McAvoy's show back on track.
