According to a spot check of specialty and department stores around the country, T-shirts, as well as cargo pants (notably from Joie), have driven summer business, coming in first and second, respectively, as the season's top categories. Other hot items this summer have been miniskirts, floral pants, sundresses and bustiers.
And price is not a determining factor — shirts for less than $30 are on fire, but so are miniskirts and dresses at all prices, pants for $200 to $300, $1,200 Prada handbags, which have a waiting list, and $6,000 Chanel jackets. Summer business apparently has more to do with latching on to a hot trend.
Retailers around the country were asked to name their best-selling item or category this summer. Here's what they had to say.
Jim Famalette, chief executive officer, Gottschalks, Fresno, Calif.: "Overall, it was the junior tops business. Novelty logo screen-printed T-shirts, at $15 to $20 — that's probably been the strength. We've chased items there. Once you find something of this type that's working, you want to beat it to death. And the business environment of late hasn't lent itself to those kinds of things."
Luciano Manganella, owner, Jasmine Sola, Boston and five locations in New England: "Michael Stars is still the best performer in T-shirts, particularly the solid shirts." The retailer sold 400 units of a crewneck baby T-shirt at $24, while 250 units of the three-button Henley sold at $34. Overall, the store sold roughly 3,600 Michael Stars T-shirts in various silhouettes.
Ann Stordahl, senior vice president and general merchandise manager, Neiman Marcus: "Cargo pants. It started with resort with a D&G style for $295, and the big performers of the season have been the Blumarine satin at $950 and Joie's satin cargo at $210. They continue to sell and have been reordered. We have sold thousands and thousands of cargo pants."

The Secret to a Longer, Leaner Look (Hint: it's a Four-Letter Word!)
Everyone wants that long, lean dancer-body look and while a large part of that is about genetics, not about time in the gym, in-the-know fitness experts also have another secret weapon: FOAM.
As in, the foam roller you see at the gym or in physical therapy practices. It can come in varying levels of firmness, from squishy like the white foam that might surround a boxed-up stereo, to (seemingly) as hard as PVC pipe!
The practice is technically called Self Myofascial Release and the bottom line is that by manually kneading the body's fascia —the connective tissue that supports and protects the body—you can actually release the bonds that keep it too tightly bound to muscles, bones, and ligaments. (Check out this piece for a great explanation of the importance of fascia and keeping it in mind as you work out.)
The result: healthier, more elastic fascia, increased flexibility, and a more smoothed-out look overall.
This last claim caught me by surprise and took some convincing. I first heard about this benefit when I recently interviewed Hollywood trainer Ashely Borden, who counts Reese Witherspoon, Nastasha Bedingfield and Mandy Moore among her famous clients, and she couldn't rave enough about the power of some simple work with a roller. Countless clients have come to her with bulked up legs from a lifetime of over-training (i.e. too much cycling or running) or what she has termed "Mirror Body Syndrome" (from only focusing on what you can see in the mirror!) and she swears that with regular use of a roller, she's able to bring their bodies to a more balanced, leaner look.
It actually makes perfect sense, when you think about it. While one's body is not the same as, oh say, clay, it is malleable to some degree—and with diligent work you can actually loosen up overly-taut fascia to allow muscles to lengthen, even if only tiny amounts. A little bit goes a long way.
And the benefits go beyond aesthetics and vanity. Tight hamstrings, sore iliotibial bands, and aching calves or glutes can all be targeted, near-immediate relief in just a few minutes of rolling-out per day. (You can do it anywhere, anytime; I like to plop down while watching TV.)
Check out this article for easy moves you can do every day, poke around here if you want to buy your own roller, and get rolling!

I've never tasted fresh figs and am going on a mediterranean cruise on August 8th. We will be in Spain, Italy and France. (Planted my first fig tree - Celeste - in May this year)I plan on hunting down some figs at a fruit stand while I'm there and trying them. I've learned to say "fig" in Spanish, Italian, and French. Question is: Can you just eat them fresh off the fruit stand, or do you have to prepare them? How do I pick out a good one? Don't want to look stupid biting into something that should be peeled. Any help appreciated.

HI Terri and congrats on your trip Question is: Can you just eat them fresh off the fruit stand, or do you have to prepare them? How do I pick out a good one? Don't want to look stupid biting into something that should be peeled Simple answer look for unblemished fruit which is soft and can be spongy feeling also you can eat with skin on take a small bite and if thick skin for your taste peel and eat. I prefer skin on. Hand gestures work well in Europe and you will find English is widely spoken especially in your tourist spots. Are you traveling on Costa by chance? I love to cruise. Enjoy and take it all in |

How do I eat a fig? Any way I can get it, and as often as possible! lol. Seriously, Sal's advice is sound, although some figs aren't truly ripe until the skin begins to split. I would add that you should wash any fruit you buy with BOTTLED or recently boiled water before eating. Even in the most hygienic parts of Europe, there's a chance you'll be ingesting little unfriendly microbes that your gut isn't acclimated to. You don't want to ruin your trip by coming down with Montezuma's Revenge. Johnblake |

Sal, Thanks for the information and well wishes. I'm glad to hear that English is spoken there. I'm going to try to speak a little Italian and Spanish. But "try" is the operative word there. It's my first time in Italy and France so I'm very excited. Traveling on Royal Caribbean. I know someone who has been on several cruises with Costa and loves that cruise line. But back to figs. Can't wait to try them either. Everyone on this site makes them sound so delicious. Also hoping I can try some from my Celeste tree this year. Thanks again, Terri |

Terri You don't need instructions on how to eat Figs. Yesterday I Paid $10 for two pounds at my Grocery store which occasionally have some for sale. I washed it by the store Vegetable sprinkler. I wanted to share it with my wife but by the time I pulled into my Garage all I had left is one. I gave it to her, she looked at me with a sneaky smile and said "you bought just one". I was born in Egypt to a Figs Orchard Owner. Figs to Egypt like Apples to America. Pick the ripen one it should be dark brown and little firm. Don't forget to wash them very good. Some countries don't have the Environmental laws we have here and GOD knows what do they spray on it. I have Brown Turky and Black Jack trees by Mid August I will be Picking some probably I will eat them faster than I pick them. Abe |

Well, we're back from our cruise and I tasted my first fig in Sorrento Italy. Someone told me that only the green/yellow would be available at this time of year and they were right. I went to a fruit stand and felt a few to see if they were soft and the owner said "pleasa donta squeeza da fruit." So just to show that Americans are sympathetic to their concerns, I bought the two I squeezed. My husband laughed when I told him what the man said to me because he used to sing a song "Pleasa donta squeeza da banana" about Riley the Cop squeezing the bananas at Tony's fruit stand. He said that must have been Tony (that's my husbands name too)! So we had a good laugh and I took them and washed them and had my first fig. Unfortunately, the first was pretty bland. The second which had a yellow spot on it (instead of being all green) was a little sweeter and a little pinker on the inside. Better than the first, but still didn't knock my socks off. Although they were soft, I have a feeling they weren't at their peak of ripeness. When I got home, my first fig tree dropped it's first ripe fig on the ground, and the ants were enjoying it. Oh well, it's a Celeste and it's fruiting out of season, I now have 13 new figlets and counting. The one that fell looked nice and juicy and very dark pink on the inside. It was much smaller than the ones I tried in Sorrento. I hope I get to taste one this year. Terri |

I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units - page 3
The other day a co-worker strolled in wearing a scrub top festooned with furry, smiling teddy bears. On an adult cardiac floor...REALLY? On various adult units I've seen Looney Tunes, Precious... Read More
3Jul 3, '10 by krazievi3t6urlI am guilty of wearing those cutesy fuzzie wuzzie cartoonie scrubs. I love it! I do work in peds and the kids seem to like it. But I think I love it even more than they do. Hahaha. I'm such a big kid at heart.
4Jul 3, '10 by GHGoonetteA part-time nurse walked into our theater one day, wearing not only a printed top, but with bottoms to match. I couldn't resist greeting her with the words, "hello, I love your pajamas..." She knows me pretty well, so she didn't take offence, and we both had a good laugh about it. Personally, I wouldn't be seen alive in printed scrubs, but if it cheers up the mourners they can dress me in prints after I'm dead...
8Jul 3, '10 by NocturneNrseEvery time I wear either my dog or my cat scrub tops, the patients love them. This also opens up conversations about their pets at home. I'm true to my animals, and will always wear the cuddley tops.
p.s. I work on a Cardiac Adult Unit. -
4Jul 3, '10 by IndyQuote from MeriwhenI had a patient nickname me "chicken coop annie" and that was with me wearing plain blue. I should have got a top with chickens on it while he was there, he'd have loved it.I'm not a fan of the cutesy scrub top either...but I would definitely wear one with chickens on it My patients would get a kick out of it.
14Jul 3, '10 by Cat_LPNI personally would never wear the types of scrubs the OP mentions, but, if I were a patient, I'd rather have the excellent nurse in the teddy bear scrubs than the crappy nurse in solid colors. (If that were the case). I don't think the patients care as much about your clothes as they do about the care you give (or don't give). That's what they remember.
26Jul 3, '10 by ohgoodnessgraciousMy analytical and critical thinking skills are just fine within my Hello Kitty scrub tops, thank you very much.
13Jul 3, '10 by nicole109I'll throw in my 2 cents, you can spend it or not...but first of all, I think that the hospitals that try to tell you what scrubs to wear to work, is just another way of CONTROLLING YOU! And it's all political bull--whatever happened to knowing who your nurse, tech, housekeeper, food service worker, doctor was because when they walk in the room they say "Hi, my name is Sally and I'm going to be your (insert title here) today" and YES you say that everytime you walk in and there are new people in the room, I don't care what color your shirt is or what you have in your hands! And #2: I second the person that said that her clinical and critical thinking skills are NOT affected by what she wears to work! Did we or did we not all pass the same NCLEX? (I know not everyone acts like it), but we are all capable of completing this job, per the state, so who cares if I wear care bears to work or not? Maybe that's the way I get through my day knowing that everyone around me is just trying to repress all the political bullcrap that hospitals are throwing in our faces rather than dealing with it head on? You want to people to start dealing with nurses in more of a professional light? How about all of us banding together and getting people to realize that when they come to a Hospital it is a HOSPITAL and not a HOTEL and we are there to help them get better and not to wait on them hand and foot, because many of the patients and the management seem to think that's what nurses do now?
3Jul 3, '10 by laynaEREhh I think people should wear what they want. Sure it may look a little funny wearing cartoon scrubs on an adult unit, but at the end of the day as long as you're getting your job done that's all they really matter. I don't think what you wear earns you respect amongst the different disciplines of health care. I think you earn respect by delivering the best care, knowing what you're talking about, and often making great recommendations for patients. Not what by what you're wearing (as long as it meets the dress code). :-)
3Jul 3, '10 by Tina, RNI've never been one for the cutesy-cartoon printed scrubs. The "wildest" scrub top I ever wore was soooo cool. It was covered with pics of candy bars! Hersheys, Kit Kats, etc. I can't remember where I bought it, but everyone always thought it was custom made.
I prefer a nice print on top, solid on bottom. Or just solids. But, I am a huge fan of stupid looking socks. The more ridiculous, the better! LOL

Kudos to everyone who posted their new SFGs today. They all look great.
I thought I'd add mine to the list with "before" and "after" pictures. Actually there's a snow storm picture in between but there's really nothing to see there because it's all white. I recycled the slab for the greenhouse in the 2nd shot.
Note that the substantial slope required the use of 2x12"s that had to be dug into the yard...and yes that is an "SFG" pond with water lilies and comets. I do need to add some more trellises on the SFGs closest to the fence, though. Cheers,

It's gorgeous! Please keep us updated on how the greenhouse works for you. Hubby is on the hook to get me one in the next 5 years. |
Wow! What a great before & after transformation! How much time lapsed between the two pics? Growing up in the DC area & now living out west, I miss the "Colonial" style houses... Thanks for providing a nostalgic moment. ;-) |

Get a crash course on maximizing web 2.0 and learn how to leverage social networking sites and tools to market your computer repair services for greater profits.
For those of you technology service providers who missed the boat on the web 2.0 explosion, there's still time to catch up and use social networking to grow your business on a shoe-string budget.
Here is a crash course on how best to use social media, followed by the top 42 tools to help you maximize your social marketing.
Advice #1: Look at social media as a toolset rather than a checklist of websites you have to have a presence on. Not every website will be useful or appropriate for your business. You have to look at each website's strengths and weaknesses and compare them to the kind of exposure your services can benefit from.
For example, if you don't have a lot of news to update clients with, Facebook will probably not be very useful. Instead you should consider starting your own blog, because this will give you a controlled, slow-drip medium to deliver your message about your services and talk about breaking news in the industry that your clients should know about.
Advice #2: You don't have to respond to every comment, wall post, or message you receive on your social media sites. There's a lot of pressure now-a-days to respond to every tweet or comment you get. This can appear to be very intimidating for companies who simply don't have the time or manpower to handle such indepth measures.
The truth is, it's unrealistic to try and respond to everything. What's important is that you make your users feel listened to and loved. You can do this in a number of ways like gathering the most common questions you receive and writing an article addressing them all called "Answers To The Top X Questions (Insert Type Of Clients) Have About (Insert Service)."
Advice #3: Track all of your social networking data in addition to traditional website analytics. This is a key strategy in my Computer Repair Business In-A-Box, and can be very effective. While it's important to track basic analytical data about visitors to your websites, it is ALSO important that you focus on strategic data from your social sites. You won't be able to track page hits and unique visitors on your social sites, but there are a ton of other things you can track. Consider these:
- How many comments is your blog post getting on average? Is that number going up?
- Which blog posts receive above average comments? What topics do these posts cover?
- How many wall posts, messages, and comments are you averaging per day on each site? Do specific news or status updates cause these numbers to rise or fall?
- What are people saying and how MUCH are they saying?
The more your users engage with you, the more you'll know that you are growing a captive audience. This type of tracking will also help you find out what exactly your clients are interested in. This will help you tweak your marketing and the services you offer.

At a raucous meeting Wednesday night, the Ross Valley Sanitary District board elected its newest member, Mary Sylla, to serve as president of the board.
Supporters of Sylla and Frank Egger, the former board president who was seeking re-election, attended the meeting to lend their vocal support. Sylla was elected on a 3-2 vote with board members Egger and Pamela Meigs voting in the minority.
"It became a little bit more polarizing than I had hoped," said Sylla, who lives in Kentfield and works as program director for the Public Health Institute.
Egger said, "It was a donnybrook."
In a letter to the board, Egger recounted his efforts to keep the district afloat after the disappearance of former general manager, Brett Richards, in July 2012. Richards was arrested earlier this month in the Philippines and is facing nine felony counts including misappropriation of public funds, embezzlement and multiple counts of money laundering.
In his letter, Egger noted that the previous three presidents of the board served two-year terms and wrote that he had "worked almost full time keeping our agency afloat from July 2012 until Greg Norby came on board in mid February as interim general manager." He noted that the previous three board presidents had served two-year terms.
Egger served 39 years on the Fairfax Town Council and was the longest-serving municipal council member in California before he lost his bid for re-election there in 2005.
Sylla said she decided to run for president of the board after spending the day with Norby.
"He's such a capable general manager," Sylla said. "I just thought the board wasn't helping him to the degree it ought to be. Next year is going to be a really important year for the district."
The vote to elect Sylla was the same as last week's vote by the board on a $19.2 million revenue bond.
Egger and Meigs voted against the bond saying they had reservations about using it to refinance $11 million of existing debt. They said they supported a smaller bond to raise $8.2 million for the district to make wastewater system improvements. The board voted 3-2 to issue the bonds.
Norby said the refinancing will put the district in a better position if it needs to issue additional bonds in the future to support long-term capital projects.
In November, the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board notified the district it was violating state law by allowing sewage to overflow into local waterways and failing to allocate adequate resources for repair of its failing pipes.
The water board has told the district it must come up with a short-term plan for fixing 45 pipe locations, which are most likely to fail first; a longer-term plan for repairing another 800 locations; and a strategy for producing the needed revenue for keeping all 200 miles of the district's pipes in working order.
San Anselmo Councilman Tom McInerney said, "Frank was instrumental in righting the ship at the district. With that said, Mary has been a tremendous asset to the district as well, and I think she'll do a great job as president."

Hungry college students lined up to welcome the arrival of one of San Luis Obispo's newest restaurants.
Chipotle Mexican Grill does not officially open its doors until Friday, but on Wednesday night it invited in Cal Poly students for a free burrito from 5-8 p.m.
All they had to do is show their college ID.
The turnout was huge.
Students filled the restaurant and the line stretched around the block.
"We had one guy who was camped out last night in a tent," said Ashley Head, a Chipotle marketing consultant. "He left around 10 a.m. this morning to go to his class, came back, and then studied out on our patio from 3 to 5 and then all his friends came. It's been a crazy day."
On Thursday night you can score some free food.
Anyone who stops in between 5-8 p.m. will get a free dinner.
The restaurant is located downtown on Higuera Street.
Starting Friday it will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Hello everyone.
My Stress analysis will run and process after i hit simulate but did not return result(Results tree is empty)
Anybody knows what's this please.
I'm running autodesk inventor pro 2013.
changing subject title.. thanks
Attach you files here, we'll take a look for you.
Thank LT.
Please see attached part.
Very basic try.
But after simulate, it says computing results but when done model tree is empty.
Thanks for your help.
Do you have the visibility of Textures enabled?
Your sample runs fine on my laptop. See the screenshot in the attachment.
Thanks rfeijen,
I've checked and the texture is ON.
Please see attached, this is the result after running, though it computes and run simulate button.
Thanks for your time.
The image you attached in your last post ... I'm not sure what that is?
Anyway, your simulation. I got it to run, but it took forever to mesh. I'm not sure why it wouldn't run for you?
Anyway, about the mesh ... it's pretty dense, and probably far denser than you really need, especially around the outside. Be aware that Inventor's FEA doesn't really like working with things that have a very high ratio of length and / or width to thickness.
Thanks LT for running at your end, I think it has to do with my installation, I'll try to un-install and re-install inventor and see the result. Thanks also for the hints about the mesh dense, if you don't mind, what is the commen setting fo mesh to get fair result.
I start off leaving the mesh settings alone. Just use the defaults, for a starting point. After your first run (which will be a LOT quicker) you can adjust things locally, or use the convergence settings to refine things. I generally do my first run with defaults, and then set the convergence to run again until it either hits 5% convergence or does 3-5 levels of refinement.

Lego Loses First UDRP
Lego finally loses a UDRP case.
LEGO Juris A/S, makers of the popular legos toy, has filed nearly 300 UDRP cases to date. It hadn't lost a single one — until now.
In a decision dated October 1 (but for some reason just published this week), a single member panel found against Lego in its case for the domain name legoworkshop.com.
The domain was just registered this year. When Lego looked at the site it still had the registrar's coming soon page with parking links on it. But the owner of the domain said he registered the domain for his son to display his lego projects and that the parked page was something his registrar created.
The panelist agreed that the respondent had rights or legitimate interests in the domain and that it wasn't registered in bad faith. The panelist determined that the registrant was creating a non-commercial fan site, and that this is not necessarily forbidden under UDRP.
14 Comments
So does this mean that the other 299 cases involved commercial usage?
It's hard to believe that none of the other cases were fan sites which raises the question whether those respondents deserved to lose.
What about all the other UDRP cases where a registrar parked page showing links involving the trademark basically damned the registrant? I don't understand how Lego wouldn't win this one either.
Was Lego trying to acquire that domain name from It's original owner That wanted to create fan site?
This is the first time that I can remember where the complainant lost a UDRP case, and I feel that he got gipped. It is always the respondent who loses even if he has the right for the domain name. This time the panelist must have a lot of young kids and he made the decision not depending on rules, but rather on emotions
lego in indonesian mean 'selling with cheap price' LOL
@Steve Jones
From the decision:
However, it is no longer present on the Respondent's website, as the annex to the Response shows (and as confirmed by the Panel's visit to the site on 1 October 2011). Accordingly, no links of any kind are now to be found on the Respondent's website which appears to be just what the Respondent says it is: a place for his son to display representations of his LEGO creations and to seek responses from other interested parties.
The registrant demonstrated their legitimate use.
i highly doubt Lego will pursue UDRP on a (harmless) fan site when it seems to know what it is doing — having done 300 cases and not lost one! I question if the decision is a result of a misjudgement or errors in the review process.
Interesting decision – although he was able to keep the domain – he admits that it's use is to display "Lego" projects – with the trademark name "Lego" in the domain – isn't that actionable for using a registered mark? So those cyresquaters can simply put what appears to be a non-commercial page and do what they want? What about MicrosoftWorkshop.com showing use of thier products? Maybe BMWTestDrive.com expressing personal oppinions of cars test driven – this make no sence……Just seems to me that the very reason he registered the domain to include LEGO proves his intent to violate their registered marks.
@BankLive – look up trademark fair use, and the complainant didn't prove the respondent is your typical cybersquatter.
@Dave Zan
I'm just surprised with all the big companys reverse hijacking tactics of domains that the lego one was defensible. I bought a domain at auction a while back and within days received a "threat email" from Officmax simply because the name started with Max and they registered a type of paper using the same name. When i replied that it was just purchased and that my development plan for the domain had nothing to do with paper or any office supplies for that matter – they threatened to try to take in anyway because there was an ad that was displayed from the registars ad feed. I didn't know it at the time but the attorney sent me a ruling link that even if I received no financial benefit from the ad feed page, that i, (or any domain owner) was still reponsible for the ads displayed and for tradmark infridgement if one of them at the bottom displayed an ad relating to their mark, with a case involving a parked page. -
From what you described, you arguably had a defensible case. Practically, though, it depends on who you're potentially dealing with.
It can cost some to little to nothing to defend against a UDRP, especially if one's virtually familiar with these things and doesn't really need a lawyer. If it becomes a lawsuit, though, then that's another story.
@Dave Zan
It was easier under the circumstances just to redirect the domain and relpy sending them an email informing them my intent for the development and threated them back if they stay too far from office products and infridge on MY SM weather registered or not since they were now informed. An attorney asked me if I wanted him to send them a notice to F'Off – but i declined as I wanted to repsond myself.Realted – because a domain owner can not only lose a name if it is found to be too simular to a big comanies mark but also be hit with 100k punitive jundgement from my understanding, in court – the same should be true when they are found to be attempting to reverse hijack a name – I could use the 100k – and it would certainly reduce the rediculous claims some of them make.
oops – disreguard the typo's
Lego is stupid. The vast majority of Lego websites provide information about Lego and their products. Their domain name, while containing the word 'lego' look nothing what-so-ever like http://www.lego.com or any of it's sub directories.
This is just ridiculous to go after every website that you can find that contain the word lego.
Now for the stupidity of Lego.
Number one. Any website that is about Lego is free advertising for Lego.Number two. A big percentage of these domains are owned by Lego enthusiast, which in turn mean, they are owned by Lego customers who give Lego a great amount of business.
Number three. These are also websites that help other Lego enthusiast in ways that Lego can't and / or chooses not to, thereby relieving Lego of customer support that might otherwise be demanded of Lego.
And these are the people that Lego wants to sue???
I have seen the WIPO website were Lego has actually filed copyright infringement claims over domains that go something like http://www.lookatthatbicyclego.com.
This, no doubt, would be a website about bikes, where the words are all spelled as one word as in most websites. The site would read as 'look at that bicycle go", of which Lego would sue just because the last four letters were L, E, G and O.
How nit picky can you get? How much of a bully can you be? How ridiculous can you be? How much can you possible harass others without it coming back to bite you in the end.
I have already communicate with former Lego website owners who say they will never do business with Lego again. One such person claims they will also be spreading as much bad publicity about Lego as they can, and I am sure there are others like him / her.
It's amazing that a company as large as Lego lacks this much business sense and this much apathy toward the very people ( their customers ) who keep them in business.

Embryo = Parasite
"Dear Reader: My apologies. I'm drifting in and out of sleep..."
Not to whine or nothin', but DANG do I feel crappy. Exhausted, nauseated, mind-fogged -- it's like a flu that I just can't recover from. Apparently this is "normal" for the first trimester. Funny; everyone hears about the morning sickness, but how many first-time mothers expect the bone-breaking tiredness? I think this information is intentionally embargoed in order to ensure the survival of the species.
Instead of useful information like "expect to be a knuckle-dragging zombie for the first three months," I've been preconditioned with dire warnings about passing the age of 35 from the media and even from friends: After 35, your fertility drops precipitously, suddenly! Your eggs are withered and old; your child is all but guaranteed to have Down's or some other heinous birth defect, and who's to blame? YOU, selfish yuppie, for wanting to "be established" in your "career" and "life" and "finances" before you perform the function we deem you to have been created for! Oh, and you'll be in a walker at the kid's high school graduation! Is that what you want? Well, is it? Just don't say we didn't warn you, Ms. "I wanted to know who I was before I started raising kids"!
Sure, an endless torrent of scare tactics designed to terrify you into spawning 15 minutes after midnight on the day you reach the age of consent in your state. But nary a warning about the endless, grinding feeling of your life-force being sucked from your marrow.
I don't intend to give up blogging. In my few lucid 15-minute periods, before the quease whacks me in the solar plexus again with the nausea-bat, I have lots of ideas about things to write. But I can't execute any of them. I'm sorry. Greedy Gus takes precedence right now; he refuses to share me.
Luckily, EtherHub is an angel and puts up with my sluggish schlepping around the house, whining -- that is, when I'm not in bed, letting him do all the work around the house. (Though, as I often remind him, mostly in jest, "You're the one that put me in this condition!")
I suppose that the world will just have to endure without my brilliantly original thoughts on Terri Schiavo, the Pope, Sandy Berger, et al. I've got an Instalanche of hormones pumping through the site meter of my circulatory system, and that's all my server can handle right now.

Camomile tea. So what's wrong with a walker? They will be hip 'n happenin' by then, after all, the boomers will all have them. In fact they'll be de rigeur.

Love the proverbs, and the description of pregnancy. There is no way I could have held down a high powered full-time job while pregnant. I've done it three times, and all three times I felt like the baby was leeching brain cells. The good news is brain power does return, but not until the sleep deprivation is past its worst. Carry on and pick up a soap opera. You'll never enjoy them as much as you do now.

From the acclaimed author of Knockemstiff—called "powerful, remarkable, exceptional" by the Los Angeles Times—comes a dark and riveting vision of America that delivers literary excitement in the highest degree.
In The Devil All the Time, Donald Ray Pollock has written a novel that marries the twisted intensity of Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers with the religious and Gothic overtones of Flannery O'Connor at her most haunting.
Set in rural southern Ohio and West Virginia, The Devil All the Time follows a cast of compelling and bizarre characters from the end of World War II to the 1960s. There's Willard Russell, tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific, who can't save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from an agonizing death by cancer no matter how much sacrificial blood he pours on his "prayer log." There's Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, who troll America's highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate. There's the spider-handling preacher Roy and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing sidekick, Theodore, running from the law. And caught in the middle of all this is Arvin Eugene Russell, Willard and Charlotte's orphaned son, who grows up to be a good but also violent man in his own right.
Donald Ray Pollock braids his plotlines into a taut narrative that will leave readers astonished and deeply moved. With his first novel, he proves himself a master storyteller in the grittiest and most uncompromising American grain.
©2011 Donald Ray Pollock (P)2011 Random House
"If Pollock's powerful collection Knockemstiff was a punch to the jaw, his follow-up, a novel set in the violent soul-numbing towns of southern Ohio and West Virginia, feels closer to a mule's kick, and how he draws these folks and their inevitably hopeless lives without pity is what the kick's all about." (Publishers Weekly)
"The God-fearing hard-luck characters who populate Donald Ray Pollock's debut novel, The Devil All the Time, move through the southern outlands of Ohio and the isolated hollows of West Virginia like figures in a collective nightmare of poverty, addiction, superstition, and crime" (Lisa Shea, ELLE magazine)
"This novel fulfills the promise made by Pollock's debut collection, Knockemstiff. He is a real writer, and The Devil All The Time hits you like a telegram from Hell slid under your door at three o'clock in the morning." (William Gay, author of Provinces of Night and The Long Home)
"WOW What a FIND!"
WOW! What a ride! Wonderful (if bizarre) characters, taut narrative, plot full of unexpected turns and extraordinary narration by Mark Bramhall (but then that is the only way he ever narrates -- extraordinary talent and skill)
So hooked by audio that I have to read books aloud. *If my reviews help, please let me know.
"A Comedy Blockbuster in Hades"
Good Hell! If the devil himself crawled up from his fiery abyss and penned his own brand of comedy book, it would probably fall short of the grotesque violence and hopeless despair that chokes the pages of Pollock's very unfunny novel. If you have no taste for Natural Born Killers, No Country For Old Men, American Psycho, or the works of Jim Thompson or Quentin Tarantino, you are in the wrong section of the library. The Devil All the Time is gritty, hard-core, hard-boiled pulp fiction that pummels the reader relentlessly with perverse atrocities delivered by a most bizarre and pitiful casting that only a nightmare could imagine.
If there is any humanity that escapes the borders of Knockemstiff, USA, it is the central character, Arvin Russell -- and he grew up offering blood sacrifices at a*prayer log* (surround by crucifixes adorned with unfortunate critters) with his traumatized WWII vet father, praying that God would deliver his mother from the cancer eating her tormented body. Pollock's RFD route in Knockemstiff includes the team of a spider eating preacher and his crippled pedophile side kick, hiding out at a carnival after the preacher kills his wife so he can raise her from the dead at his next sermon; a sadistic sheriff that earns a little money on the side as a hired hit man; another preacher whose specialty is de-flowering young members of his flock; Carl and Sandy Henderson--she a waitress/prostitute, he a fat hygiene-deficient *splatter* photographer--a tag team serial killer duo that cruises the highways looking for *models* (men) to rape, torture, and photograph.
The saving grace with this kind of material is Pollock's obvious talent and smart, sharp, sparse style that is unapologetically raw. He entwines his novel with God, guilt, poverty, and violence, into a tight plot that ramps up the intensity as it propels this motley crew toward a climactic showdown. What is it that compels us to strain our necks to gawk at a pile-up? I couldn't look away, and couldn't put this down. In small doses, (maybe with some Disney in-between) I intend on devouring everything Pollock writes. I highly recommend BUT only to the truly iron-gutted veterans of dark fiction--you have to have the stomach for this kind of book. Between you and me, I'm a little disgusted with myself for liking it so much. [Disgust Level Comparisons: American Psycho, Dark Places, The Wasp Factory, Haunted.]
I am a D-Bag.
"dark, gritty, awesome"
This is the kind of book that never gets written because people want sunshine and happy endings. What ever happened to these kind of books. I recommend this all the way to people who want to listen to the raw dark under belly of America.
"New favorite book!"
What an excellent story! The book is so well written, and the story so greatly performed, that the listener is thrust right into the depressing world the author created. The characters are so well fleshed out that I found myself rooting for most of them despite how awful they are. It was really hard to put the headphones down, and I'm sure to give this book another listen rather sooner than later.
"Could NOT Turn it Off! The Devil took me in!"
This is among the most captivating audiobooks I've listened to since joining audible. The narration by Mark Bramhall is outstanding.
I can compare this to
Mark Bramhall's narration was pitch perfect. He carried the accents and tone throughout that added to the written form. I never wanted to turn off the audio. The narration and stories were so captivating.
I loved the title as is.
I hope to see more from this author very soon....I'm hooked!
"Looking for Something Different?"
I am always looking for something offbeat and different and my wish was granted with this book! This is a dark story with unexpected twists and turns. I truly enjoyed the narration as well, and found myself listening to the story long after my commute was over.
"Good But Rough"
It's a captivating story, hard to put down, but it's also extremely rough. The dreadful & immoral element of man is pervasive in nearly every character, I felt dirty like I needed to clean my mind of the filth, however it's very well written, and intriguing.
"You're a sick man, Mr Pollock,"
...AND I LOVE IT. This story is brutal and grisly, gritty and realistic, shocking, nihilistic, sarcastic and constantly amazing. Read by an obvious master...Mark Bramhall propels the listener deep in to this expertly woven world. Please-oh-please write more D. R. Pollock.
"Horrible things told beautifully"
The other reviews already mention the bizarre cast of characters. The darkest of the dark. We follow them along their twisted and on-and-off converging paths. Horrified, mesmerized...and, one has to admit, very much entertained at the hands of an expert storyteller and an excellent narrator. Bravo!
"Dark, Dark, Dark."
All the characters in this book are not only flawed humans, they are very damaged. It was difficult to find someone to cheer for. It took me a month to complete this book. Very sad, very violent, incredibly sadistic individuals.
Prayer log scenes. The desperation of husband to save his beautiful wife.
Favorite? Hmmm... I enjoyed the antics of Theodore & Jesse.
Not suitable for for depressed persons. Should not be viewed during cold grey rainy season. THIS FILM IS NOT INTENDED FOR THE MENTALLY OFF BALANCED.
Not a good bed time read. I found this book interesting, the characters were well developed... But damn its dark.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Mora is a locality and the seat of Mora Municipality in Dalarna County, Sweden, with 10,896 inhabitants in 2010.[1]
There are signs of human activity in the surroundings of Mora dating from 4000 B.C. The earliest found buildings in Mora are from the 7th century. Some of the buildings can today be found in Mora's open air museum Zorns gammelgård ("Zorn's old homestead").
Mora parish was established in the 13th century.[citation needed]
In late 1520, Gustav Vasa stopped in Mora, in order to organize a rebellion against the Danish troops which occupied Sweden. The citizens of Mora first declined to help Gustav Vasa, but later changed their minds and sought Gustav Vasa when he was about to cross the Norwegian border. According to the legend two men from Mora (Lars Jakobsson and Engelbrekt Jonsson) caught up with Gustav Vasa in Sälen and told him his people would now fight with him. The rebellion managed to overthrow the Danish government in Sweden and Gustav Vasa was installed as king of Sweden.
In the 17th-century, it was the place for the famous Mora witch trial.
During the 18th century the area around Mora was struck by famine, and many citizens abandoned their homes. Most went to Stockholm and southern Sweden where they learnt new craftman skills. Returning to Mora they used their new knowledge to build up new industries. During the end of the 18th century and the 19th cottage industries of clocks, sewing machines, knives and water taps were important to the economy. Water taps and knives are still thriving industries.
Mora is located between the northern shore of lake Siljan and the southern shore of lake Orsasjön where the Österdal River enters Siljan. Mora lies on the west side of Europe's largest[citation needed] meteor impact crater ( Siljansringen).
The northern part of the municipality marks the beginning of the Scandinavian mountain range.
As the rest of the municipalities around Lake Siljan, also in Mora, the summer solstice celebration of Midsummer plays an important role in the cultural life. People dress up in traditional folk costumes, raise maypoles, play traditional music and dance around the maypole.
Anders Zorn[edit]
The house where Swedish painter Anders Zorn was born in 1860 is located next to the Mora Church and is open to the public. A museum containing many of his works of art has been built next door.
A statue of King Gustav Vasa, made by Zorn, is placed on a small hill at the finishing line of Vasaloppet in Mora. Another statue depicting Zorn is located in the park behind the district court house of Mora. A third statue of a cross country skier is placed in front of the municipal house next to the town's characteristic red wooden clock tower.
Ice hockey[edit]
Mora IK played a couple of seasons in Elitserien (presently Swedish Hockey League), the highest Swedish ice hockey league. Currently the team plays in the second league Hockeyallsvenskan.
Mora is also known as the finish of the annual Vasaloppet, a 90 kilometer cross country skiing event held in the honour of Gustav Vasa. The competition is visited by more than 48,000 annual participants in all the skiing events throughout the Vasaloppetweek in the beginning of March.
Mora has an 18 hole golf course located at sandängarna in Mora.
The VasaTrampet is a summer version of the Vasaloppet with its start and finish in Mora.
IFK Mora FK are based in Mora.
Mora played host to 2007 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, held in FM Mattsson Arena. Another sporting event is 1984 World's Strongest Man.
The town of Mora is well known for its craft products. A famous Swedish souvenir, dalahäst, a wooden horse, is produced in the village Nusnäs just outside Mora.
The high quality yet inexpensive Mora knives are made in Mora.
Steel production company Ovako has a production site in Mora.[2]
Mora as a municipality never received the title of a city (stad) before the local government reform of 1971, but as the population exceeds 10,000 the locality is today counted as a city by Statistics Sweden.

Intensive two-day course This unique and original two day course will examine the international human rights law framework that guarantees the rights of women and critically evaluate its potential to challenge core obstacles undermining the effective protection of women's rights in the world today.
The international human rights system has adopted both general human rights standards and specific human rights norms to eliminate discrimination against women and to guarantee their substantive rights. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (the Women's Convention), adopted in 1979 by the UN General Assembly, is widely referred to as an international bill of rights for women. The Women's Convention – and the UN Committee responsible for its interpretation and implementation – arguably interpret the normative international human rights framework more creatively than any other international human rights treaty or body. And yet entrenched discrimination against women persists worldwide, with women suffering human rights violations on the grounds of their gender on a daily basis. So what has the Women's Convention achieved to date and what role does it have to play in challenging the multiple obstacles that prevent millions of women across the globe from accessing and enjoying their basic rights? This short course will examine these fundamental questions and consider what value the international human rights framework has for securing women's rights at the domestic level.
The course is convened and led by Jane Gordon|, with specialist sessions taught by other expert practitioners in the field of women's human rights. In 2014 they were:
Standard (Standard individual rate): £900
LSE Alumni, Students or Staff are entitled to a 10% discount on the standard course fee. (contact the Centre Manager for the discount code before completing the online application)
Concessionary (Voluntary sector organisation): £600
In 2014, the Centre was able to offer up to five subsidised (half price, £450) places for those would otherwise have been unable to attend.
Applications were competitively assessed after the deadline, and places awarded on the basis of merit and financial need.
Discounts may also be available for group (3+) bookings from one organisation / company. Contact the Centre Manager, Zoe Gillard, to discuss.
Please note that while we welcome participants from overseas, the Centre is regrettably not able to provide any additional assistance, financial or practical, in the securing of travel to, or accommodation in, London.

A Silver Key and a Forbidden Door
A Preview for the Next Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game Asylum Pack |
Call of Cthulhu LCG | Published 22 December 2009 |
"Do you know, son, where she has gone? Do we need to kill someone?"
- The Lost Dreamers by Nate French
The next Asylum Pack of the Dreamlands expansion for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game is almost upon us and in honor of this event we present a few card spoilers from this upcoming pack to give you a taste of what is in store for the Call of Cthulhu metagame.
Dark deeds are afoot as the trail of our serial tale, The Lost Dreamers, winds deeper into the terminal sleep of the dreamlands. Our hero, Gregory Gry, card shark extraordinaire, must enlist some help from his paramour's father, John Henry Price, to pull dreamer Twila-Katherine Price back from the brink.
This Asylum Pack will pack some punch, wrapped in some subtle twists. Below you will find three examples of what you can expect from the latest expansion for the Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game.
John Henry Price
The mysterious Twila-Katherine Price's father, John Henry Price is introduced in this pack. An Agency man to the bone, John Henry Price exemplifies Agency's strong suits, Combat and Investigation struggles, as well as an affinity with Attachment support cards. John Henry Price essentially lets you play a free Shotgun (Core F14) or Patrol Wagon (Core F15) on him, freeing up crucial domains, while also giving you a nice card draw as well. Mr. Price is sure to find a home in the Run 'n' Gun (Miskatonic/Agency) deck.
The Silver Key
Yog-Sothoth introduces this tricky artifact, The Silver Key. It's a strange little Attachment that essentially gives your exhausted characters a nice "wake up call" when you commit them to the attached story. This gives you a sweet opportunity to make use of character abilities or commit them to another story before committing to the attached story. It also makes an interesting defense against those characters that do not exhaust to commit to stories, such as through the effects of Dream Diary (Dreamlands F4) and The Barque Miskatonic (Mountains of Madness F2).
The Book of Black Stones
Finally, The Book of Black Stones is presented as an example of the Tome subtype that is seeing a lot of play in this expansion. This card has an offensive use and a defensive use. On offense, this Attachment throws cards into your opponent's discard pile. While "milling" is not a super-strong strategy, it can become quite frustrating when the card your opponent needs is thrown out, especially when, as per cards like Clover Club Regular (Dreamlands F26) let you know exactly what that card is. On defense, this card can find quite a bit of use in a Yog-Sothoth or Shub Niggurath recursion deck, essentially putting the cards you want easily within reach of the effects of Gathering at the Stone (Core F118) and Shadowed Woods (Core F133). Be careful, though: use this card too many times and you may find yourself decked out!
These are just three of the twenty new cards that will be revealed in the Search for the Silver Key Asylum Pack, coming soon. There is a little something for all factions, including more cards triggering off of Day and Night, as well as Dreamer and Location. Be sure to check it out when Search for the Silver Key arrives at your local game store!
Based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his literary circle, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game takes two players deep into the Cthulhu Mythos where investigators clash with the Ancient Ones and Elder Gods for the fate of the world. To learn more about Call of Cthulhu, visit our minisite.
I'm loving this. ^_^ My story league is gonna love this. Heh.
It gives a lot of cards to work togahter with the key.
The key's gonna be something huge for the Yog faction. Maybe on of the most flavourfull card ever designed for this game.
Thank you for the good work, FFG !!!

Its always nice to see photos from our past and imagine our ancestors' lives. I was so pleased when this photograph was brought to me for restoration, because it is obviously a family heirloom. As you can see, the original photo had been torn in several places, and at some point taped back together. The different layers of tape resulted in varying color densities, which increased the challenge versus just piecing together a ripped image. In this case, we are lucky the tape didn't damage the underlying image layer.
The mat around this image had also seen better days, so I decided to replace it with a digital mat. However, we did want to keep the handwritten caption "Grandpap Barnes," so I lifted it from the background and included it on the digital mat.
As you store your family's historic photographs, here are a few tips to keep those images lasting for generations to come.
- Store in acid free boxes or clear plastic sleeves
- Keep prints away from sources of heat, light and moisture
- Use photo corners rather than tapes, glues or rubber cement
- When framing, always use a mat to separate the print from the glass
