Hi everyone,
This is my new dress made out of stretch cotton (great material to work with). Perfect for the summer holidays. I wanted to make this model for 4 years and finally I did it.
I used pattern 107, Burda 3/2009. I had to do small changes on the model, so I don't destroy the pattern. I turned the princess seams into darts.

How To Spot A Narcissist
Narcissists In The News
That's a headline that I'd love to see on TV some day soon. Because whether we're talking about Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Charlie Sheen and Donald Trump, or the crazyness of Moammar Gadhafi, narcissism is increasingly in the news these days, front and center, right where the narcissists want to be. Our culture seems to have made a decision that promoting the self promoters over everyone else's interests is somehow in our interest. Which isn't true, unless our interest is solely in spectacle and distraction (which, according to one view of history, is evidence of having arrived at the end times for a great nation. See Rome. Greece. Persia. Egypt.)
Of course, a narcissist on the world stage may be of less pressing concern than that charming and charismatic person with the great smile you just started dating! So in this article, I'll talk about how to spot a narcissist.
But first, as 'they' say, it takes one to know one, so here's a guest on Bill O'Reilly's show explaining to him what a narcissist is. And second, here's a link to learn more about other members in the family of so-called personality disorders (PD), such as Borderline PD, Antisocial PD and Histrionic PD.
Now back to our topic. Perhaps the most obvious place to look is with their most obvious behavior. That's where you'll see the first sign. It's official name is grandiosity (meaning 'in-your-face greatness')
Grandiosity is considered a key symptom of narcissism. From their grand position in that high place above us all, they can be snide, sarcastic, mocking, or make their claims of specialness in appearance, ability or intellect. And this is how you can know them. Combine this need for adulation with a lack of empathy, and odds are you're dealing with a disordered psyche leaning towards toxic or malignant narcissisism.
But a less noticeable symptom of narcissism is described, far too mildly in my opinion, as 'disturbed personal relationships.' And in this regard, consider just how many disturbances in personal relationships are the result of self absorption and a lack of empathy. So I'd say that some amount of unhealthy narcissism is spread pretty broadly throughout our culture. Indeed, most people have at least some narcissistic moments, at least some of the time, in some of their relationships. (I've even been told that the fact that I blog, promote my business and use my professional title makes me a narcissist...to which I say, fair enough, although I'm being egged on by my business handlers...you know, agents, publishers, content-hungry websites and such!)
Narcissism, like most things in life, isn't an all or none proposition, but rather, happens on a spectrum, ranging from very mild and context specific (only happens under certain where and when conditions) to very malignant ( all narcissism all the time).

Giovanna Mezzogiorno stars in the stirring "Vincere." (IFC Films)
A passionate, bold look at power, paranoia and betrayal in a little-known corner of history, "Vincere" is steamy, sad and so Italian it feels like an opera.
Writer-director Marco Bellocchio seems little concerned with subtlety, plastering Big Words and Ideas across the screen in white letters, blending black-and-white archival footage with narrative scenes that seem to leap atop one another, and drifting here and there into forcibly surreal territory.
It's an effective, heady approach, and Bellocchio uses it to tell the story of the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini from a novel angle, that of his abandoned mistress, Ida Dalser, portrayed by the magnificent Giovanna Mezzogiorno.
We first meet Mussolini (Fillipo Timi) in 1907, when he's a socialist debating the existence of God. A crowd of onlookers turns against him, but a young Ida is dazzled by his strength of purpose and idealism.
Seven years later, she rescues him from authorities and becomes his lover. Soon enough she's obsessed, following him about like a groupie, selling all her possessions so he can start a newspaper, even though Mussolini already has a daughter with his wife.
Then Ida becomes pregnant and Mussolini has a son. But Ida, who's somewhat hysterical when it comes to love, pushes too hard, and Mussolini backs away just as he's ascending to real power.
Ultimately, Ida becomes such an embarrassment that she's tossed in a madhouse and the young Mussolini is sent off to a boarding school.
As Mussolini helps propel the march toward World War II, Ida initially deludes herself into thinking he's testing her, and then resigns herself to the recognition that she's a prisoner of the state.
It's the stuff of great drama set against great history, and the way Bellocchio blends the two is stirring indeed, juxtaposing choppy old footage with stunningly modern scenes that seem like religious paintings.
A thunder of smoke rumbling down a columned hallway as figures flee the specter of war; Ida clinging halfway up the bars of a madhouse as snow falls, tossing pleas for help to the uncaring outside world; naked women babbling and dancing around an asylum -- now that's Italian!
The irony is that Ida actually does act somewhat mad from the beginning, but at the same time she's telling the truth about her relationship with Mussolini. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
The history here surely has more impact on Italian viewers, but it carries plenty of dark purchase for anyone. And the portrait of a callous Mussolini who becomes so enthralled with war and power that he abandons all else is both chilling and timeless.
"Vincere" means "to win" in English. It's hard to see how anybody in this story emerged victorious; in truth, the stubborn fight for victory ultimately dooms them all. But "Vincere" is indeed victorious, audacious, impassioned filmmaking.

In a ruling of 6-4 in The US vs. Jones; SCOTUS overturned a conviction based partially on information obtained from a GPS that was placed without first obtaining a warrant. As a result, the FBI has turned off 3,000 GPS and are attempting to remove the devices.

Central City Opera is the 2nd oldest annual professional opera festival in the country, located right here in Colorado! Each summer, they present three productions, including an opera favorite, a lesser known work, and an American work.

Over the weekend I read Alison Bechdel's new graphic memoir, Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama.
This follow up to her 2006 memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic, which focused on her father, concentrates both on her relationship with her mother and on her therapy process. At one point, Bechdel refers to Are You My Mother? as a meta-book, as much of it deals with the time period when she was writing Fun Home, as well as her interactions with her mother around writing both that book and Are You My Mother?
While you're making your Memorial Day weekend plans, take a mini break this week with a Fresh City Life My Branch event!

One of my favorite childhood books, one that I read over and over, was her classic book of a young boy's survival in the Catskill mountains, My Side of the Mountain. I remember with vivid detail how Sam Gribley ran away from the city to survive on his own in the wilderness--how he made his own clothes, hunted food (and eventually caught and trained a falcon to do some hunting for him), and carved out a tree to make a comfortable home.
So many things to do, and that's not even counting all the great events this weekend! Fresh City Life My Branch has something for YOU this week!

Save a bit of humidity, it is an undeniably autumnal day in NYC. It's gray, it is wet, and it feels positively gauche to jam to anything that would feel right at a beach. So to help to fill the void created by expunging "sunny music" from your daily playlist, and to show solidarity with nature, here are 13 tracks representing some of the finest tracks the internet's offered lately that also feel right for the season. This means darkened post-punk (The Soft Moon) and shadowy production hits (Purity Ring, ASAP Rocky), a run of chilly arpeggio chime (newcomers Dive, the prolific Atlas Sound), and the likes of Kurt Vile, Caveman, and Family Band, who have the bittersweetly seasoned air of quintessential fall artists. As always, I spent altogether too much time sequencing this for maximum flow, so if indulge me the straight run through at least once before going ala cart with the sequencing.
Monthly Mix: September 2011 (.zip, 96.9MB)
01 The Soft Moon – "Total Decay"
02 Purity Ring – "Belispeak"
03 ASAP Rocky – "Trilla"
04 Dive – "Sometime"
05 Kurt Vile – "The Creature"
06 Atlas Sound – "Te Amo"
07 Trailer Trash Tracys – "Dies In 55″
08 Gauntlet Hair – "Keep Time"
09 Blouse – "Videotapes"
10 Reading Rainbow – "Dead End"
11 Caveman – "Thankful"
12 Korallreven – "As Young As Yesterday"
13 Family Band – "Again"

Mr. Thaci, a former Kosovar rebel and prime minister until snap elections were called weeks back, based his win on independent exit polls Sunday night. He described the 31 percent total for his Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) a victory for "democratic and Euro-Atlantic values." Kosovar Albanians are avidly pro-European and pro-American following the NATO intervention of 1999 that effectively separated the territory from Serbia.
94 percent turnout?
But polling problems have cropped up. The US Embassy said today that Ambassador Christopher Dell complained to authorities after ballots in a vote box at Hamez Jashari high school in Skenderaj, a Thaci stronghold that Mr. Dell was observing, "exceeded the number of signatures in the voters' books."
Voting turnout in some PDK strongholds topped 94 percent – though records show turnout had been only 51 percent as late as 4 p.m. This "defies logic," according to the Foreign Policy Club in Pristina, the capital. Kosovo's Central Election Commission reported a 48 percent overall turnout.
"Some stations had a 95 percent turnout, which can't be explained," says Agron Bajrami, editor in chief of the daily Koha Ditore in Pristina. "Most likely Thaci will be returned, but he may have to wait."
The main opposition Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) on Monday used its own exit polls to claim a victory – creating gridlock. The LDK, former coalition partner of Thaci founded by Kosovo father-figure Ibrahim Rugova, won 25 percent in independent exit polls.

The bird art collection by artist Christina Mrozik depicts glorious birds with exotic plumage that evoke images of paradise and tropical landscapes.
Saturated hues and luxurious plumage give these birds a sumptuously divine spirit that is sure to inspire those with a love for fantasy and romanticism. The drawings are so richly detailed and intricately designed, with every little hair and feather arranged artfully so as to fill up the entire surface of each page, that they appear to be more like paintings made with extremely delicate brush strokes.
As though it has come straight out of a dream, the bird art collection of drawings by artist Christina Mrozik is surreal in its beauty and refinement.

Why you should attend
With more than 300,000 deportation and removal cases initiated by U.S. immigration authorities each year, immigrants in the United States are in need of competent and knowledgeable representation in this important area of law. Over half of those facing removal proceedings are unrepresented, and those without legal representation face a significantly higher risk of removal, regardless of eligibility for relief. At this comprehensive program, panels of nationally-recognized experts will provide a nuts and bolts overview of how to most effectively defend immigrants facing removal proceedings.
What you will learn
Who should attend
All cancellations received 3 business days prior to the program will be refunded 100%. If you do not cancel within the allotted time period, payment is due in full. You may substitute another individual to attend the program at any time. http://www.pli.edu/Content/Seminar/Defending_Immigration_Removal_Proceedings/_/N-4kZ1z12etp?ID=213831

Interesting read.AS the last officially designated American combat forces left Iraq, television cameras caught the exultation of a soldier finally heading home.
We won! he yelled. Its over! America, we brought democracy to Iraq!
Which naturally raises an intriguing and provocative question: Did we win? Seven years later, after all the spilled blood, after all the roadside bombs and sectarian strife, after all the terror and torment, did the United States actually win the war in Iraq?

"This is a good program for antivirus."
AVG picked up a lot of bad stuff in my computer which was great!
The reason I did not give it 4 is because I used the program Advanced SystemCare (which is available on download.com) and it told me that there was a data miner in AVG free ed. So they are spying on your computer activitys as far as I am concerned.
I took this program off of my computer, becasue of the data miner.

Papa John's has beefed up security for its Web-based e-mail system
after the pizza chain learned that internal e-mail and customer data
had been exposed.
The leak at the Louisville, Ky.-based pizza chain made internal
corporate e-mail and thousands of customer comments available to
anyone with a Web browser. The customer comments were submitted
between Sept. 29 and Nov. 7 and included names, addresses, phone
numbers and e-mail addresses of customers.
"It looks like there is no password protection on Papa John's internal
Web e-mail system," said Richard Smith, an Internet privacy expert who
reviewed the issue at the request of CNET News.com. "This sort of Web
site privacy leak happens more than it should."
Papa John's [1] on Monday added password protection to its Web-based
e-mail system and the online customer suggestion database, after it
was notified of the leak by CNET News.com. The company's action came
hours after information exposing the system's insecurity was published
to the popular Full Disclosure security mailing list [2].
"Today we learned that customer feedback over the last five
weeks...could be viewed by a user who would have to enter a very
specific, unpublished URL," said Chris Sternberg, a Papa John's
"We're not certain that anybody has accessed this information,"
Sternberg said. "We don't think the ability to access this information
breached our disclosure policy, but we don't want it accessed by
anyone outside the Papa John's system, so we have taken steps to fix
The consumer information that was disclosed did not include credit
card numbers or other sensitive data, which limits the risk of fraud,
said James Van Dyke, principal analyst at Javelin Strategy & Research
in Pleasanton, Calif.
"There is no reason to expect that this will lead to identity fraud,
as the exposed information is not of the type used by financial
companies to grant access to capital," he said. "In the most extreme
case, a fraudster could call one of the listed individuals and pretend
to be a Papa John's employee, asking for a credit card number or bank
While the Web-based system now requires a password, some of the
information is still available in the cache of Google's search engine.
For example, one internal Papa John's e-mail discusses the company's
challenges in re-establishing itself in Mexico and Puerto Rico after
the departure of a key employee.

On the website I administer we don't allow users to register, an admin has to do it for you. However, that's a low traffic site and probably wouldn't work well here.
Any updates on this issue? Seems to me we're seeing a LOT less spam and that means our newly implemented countermeasures are working.
I work (mod/admin) several technical forums owned by ForumFoundry. We deal with a lot more spam on the those than I see here. Additionally, this particular forum is a lot more forgiving of member comments and attitudes than most. Thanks for allowing us to express our views.

Political comments aside, this really isn't a moderator issue. Yes, they could review/approve all accounts, but that's not the way you want to spend their time. As JD pointed out above, there are better, automatic options to deny bogus accounts. Apparently they seem to be working, although I've never paid attention to bogus posts anyway.

"Do not buy from Kitchen Niche unless you don't care when you receive it. They don't answer telephone calls or e-mails. They send you a purchase confirmation and ship date BUT the ship date is not correct in the e-mail you receive. Waste of time and money even if you get a good price. Very poor service for products you can buy everywhere.
Finally received my order 16 days after I placed it. Don't need it anymore; bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond."
"Ordered a Le Creuset French Oven and Tea over the holidays. Delivery took a little while as they were out of stock, but the item arrived and is beautiful. Shipping notifications through Canada Post made it easy to track the progress. Great price and very happy with my order"
"I am very happy with Kitchen Niche, from whom I ordered 12 boxes of Canadian Ice Wine Tea. The website is very easy to navigate. The order was rapidly processed and shipped out. I received the package within 3 days in perfect condition."
"I Placed an Order Sept 5
I finally got my mugs they look good.
I might order again.
"After my order with Kitchen Niche a see the bad reviews on this site and I said to my wife ''Oh no I think I a make a mistake these time''. I write to Kitchen Niche and I receive prompt answer. Hopefully I don't make a mistake and i received my order promptly and in very good condition and very well pack with Canada post sticker Fragile on the box. For sure with the great selection and quality of products I will buy again at KitchenNiche.ca. My order take 3 weeks to arrive but it's normal I'm in Montreal ans also I ordered a special products. Thank you !"
"I happened to see the many negative reviews on this website just after placing my first order with Kitchen Niche, so I was very concerned about their reliability. However, my order (a Fox Run fruit flan pan) arrived promptly today, as promised within 5-10 business days after I placed my order. I am pleased with their service, have no complaints, and would do business with them again."
"WARNING: Ordered from Kitchen Niche and NEVER received product. No reply to calls or emails. Paid 150.00 for a pan that has not been delivered. Based on zero reply I can only assume they intend to keep my money so that amounts to THEFT which will be reported."
"I placed an order for a specific grater and I was sent a different one... I contacted Kitchenniche and they told me that the grater that I had ordered and the one I had received were exactly the same one! Which was clearly not the case. Meanwhile they had removed the one that I had ordered from their website... Not a trustworthy company and I will definetely not order from them again. "
"Items never received. Company promised to reship. Items again never received. Reached out to company again, and no return response. Had to file a dispute with my credit card company."
"Do not order anything from Kitchen Niche. I did and never received the item or been refunded. They don't return calls or emails. If you become a victim or are a victim of them make a complaint with the IC3. Internet Crime Complaint Center online. You can fill out the complaint on their website."
"Never order from this company. This is outrageous. we had to mail to find out why our order hadn't shipped and yet they received full payment. There were items not in stock. So we received a partial order and are still awaiting the salt/pepper mill. We emailed them June 21st to find out where the rest of the order is no response and to cancel the balance and refund our money. They didn't respond yet and so we emailed and told them we are reporting them to the bbb. Never order from them they don't have items in stock their website should say this. They are so dishonest that they charge you and then you never get your full order.
Update July 22, 2014 - after this initial review I threatened to report the company and they contacted me right away, and apologized and they kept in contact with me after and I received the outstanding yesterday. Very satisifed. I wont order from them in future, but am satisfied that I received my item."
"Stay away...this company is not customer service oriented at all...they never answer their phone or emails...Do not buy anything from them...They take your money and you don't receive your products.."
"Do not buy anything from this company! Months of waiting for a product; never received. Emails never returned. It seems like, based on other reviews, that it is simply a poorly run company, not a complete scam."
"I ordered some raclette grills as Christmas presents and although I selected free shipping, I received my order 3 days later! The gift wrapping was done very nicely as well. Overall I am very satisfied."
"STAY AWAY! I ordered a few replacement French press glasses over a month ago which never arrived. No response to several e-mails or a voice-mail I left (no answer when I called during business hours).
Luckily my credit card has initiated a dispute with this vendor so I'm being credited the amount until it's resolved.
UPDATE -- The day I posted this review (and contacted my credit card) I received an apologetic e-mail from the business with some weak excuse. So guess they it's not a total scam, just a badly run business. "

How the Rich Are Traveling in 2013
The top domestic travel destinations or dream destinations for this group include Hawaii, New York City and Napa Valley.
While it might seem surprising that New York is among the "dream" travel destinations for such a wealthy segment of the population, Yesawich says there is a distinct reason for this.
"What's happening is, as this population gets older, urban vacations become more popular," Yesawich says. "So when you talk to 20-, 30- and 40-year-olds, they recite beach destinations -- Florida, California. As you get older and your kids are gone, there is more interest in performing arts and those types of vacations."
Another trend captured by the survey is the return to the use of traditional travel agents -- a habit that practically became extinct when sites such as Expedia (EXPE), Travelocity and Orbitz (OWW) became dominant. But about 18% of the wealthy survey participants used travel agents last year. And 23% intend to use travel agents during 2013. The expertise and insider's knowledge about destinations and accommodations that a travel agent delivers is a large part of this shift in behavior. About 59% of the wealthy survey respondents relied on travel agents to help select lodging, 48% used an agent to book a vacation package, 42% sought an agent for help selecting a destination and 37% used a travel agent to select a cruise line.

Reviewed Pulled Pork
Nov 22, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"I love this recipe!!! My fiance is obsessed!! I have changed it around a little bit. I used far less cinnamon and molasses, because I found it overpowering. I have also doubled this recipe numerous times, and it is just as good!! I would highly recommend making this, but cut back on the cinnamon and molasses!"""

Emblazoned on the front of the packages of Honey Nut Cheerios Snack Mix are the words "Heart Healthy Snack" and "65% less fat than potato chips." Well, say no more, I decided to give a pack of these babies a try, especially since I have a slight ... let's say love and not addiction ... to all things cereal, cookie and pretzel. Mix the all together in a brightly colored bag with a cute bee on the front and I'm sold. The cashier got my $2.50 and I walked out of the store carrying a bag of Honey Nut Cheerios Snack Mix like it was a highly coveted prize.
Yum yum yum ! The components of this snack mix are multi-grain Cheerios cereal, Golden Grahams cereal, pretzel sticks, caramel cookie swirls (exactly like the ones found in Chex Mix, if you have ever had that variety) and Corn Chex cereal. The whole mix has a caramel-y honey essence, which I completely love. The multi-grain Cheerios and corn Chex, while pretty plain on their own, make friends with the other components of the mix to relinquish the same caramel-like flavor. What packs in the most caramel punch, you ask ... The cookie swirls, which are few and far between, but deliciously crunchy when you can find one. I know this is called "Honey Nut", but if you do not like the flavoring of caramel, you probably will not enjoy this mixture.
My mom and I were making our weekly grocery shopping trip and we decided to try some new cereals to take with us as snacks (we like to bring little baggies of cereal along as a midday pick-me-up). There wasn't a big collection of healthy brands and, after much deliberation, we decided upon Banana Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Chex (read the review).
Upon popping open the translucent bag of Banana Nut Cheerios and reaching in for that much anticipated first bite, I thought "banana bread". I didn't think "artificial" or "banana extract". When eaten dry, the flavor is 100% comparable to a loaf of fresh baked banana bread and the texture is typical of Cheerios thin, crunchy circles.
I couldn't wait any longer and poured myself a small after-dinner bowl, milk included. The milk does not detract from the amazing flavor, but merely enhances it. As you near the end of each bite, the experience is reminiscent of taking a bite of banana bread and taking a sip of milk at the same time so as to moisten the dense banana treat and wash it down in a refreshing way. This cereal aficionado is quite impressed with the tastiness that Banana Nut Cheerios provides.
Each 3/4 cup serving of Banana Nut Cheerios provides 100 calories, 1 gram of total fat (2% of the daily value), 1 gram of fiber, 9 grams of sugars and 1 gram of protein. The ingredients list starts with whole grain corn, sugar, whole grain oats, brown sugar syrup, corn syrup ... dried corn syrup, banana puree etc. That's quite a few different types of sugar!
If you're like me and loved Fruit Loops as a kid, then you'll love Fruity Cheerios! I'll admit that I like mildly sweetened cereals - ones that are more interesting than Wheaties but not as sugar-overloaded as Count Chocula - and this fits the bill perfectly. Fruity Cheerios tastes a lot like Froot Loops, but the ingredients list is much better. I was impressed that the first ingredient is whole grain corn, the 2nd ingredient is sugar followed by whole grain oats. Compare this to Froot Loops, whose 1st ingredient is sugar, followed by a few types of flour and then, shockingly (insert sarcasm here) partially hydrogenated vegetable oil!
Of the many delicious cereals in the Cheerios lineup, these are definitely one of my favorites (so far we'vew reviewed Yogurt Burst Cheerios, Cheerios MultiGrain Cereal, Berry Burst Cheerios and Oat Cluster Cheerios Crunch).
It is a rare trip to the grocery store when I am able to resist the siren call of the cereal aisle. Seriously, I dare you to find me a better food product than cereal - its portable, versatile, yummy and there are so many options. Since I like to keep it healthy, it can be a challenge to find something both fun and good for me. No longer - today my prayers were answered by Oat Cluster Cheerios Crunch! Its snazzy bright blue box drew me in, but it's the tasty contents is what will keep me coming back for more.
When I brought these home, I was pretty excited about my find, and thus decided to incorporate cereal into my dinner plans for the evening. Who says eggs and cereal can't qualify as dinner?! Upon pouring the cereal into the bowl it looks like regular cheerios coupled with small bunches of oat clusters. There are definitely more cheerios than clusters but that's not really a problem for me since I don't like my cereal to be super sweet. The box claims a serving size is 3/4 cup which is a mighty paltry serving so I doubled it up, added some milk and prepared to taste my find. It turned out to be a perfect blend of sweet, crunchy and wholesome, plus it didn't get super soggy in milk - though to be fair I ate it fairly quickly! The milk became sweet and nutty and provided the perfect finish to this bowl of cereal.
Gone are the days when only plain or Honey Nut Cheerios were available. Now, there are 9 varieties and counting! Although I have not been particularly impressed with Yogurt Burst, Fruity Cheerios, or Apple Cinnamon, the new Berry Burst Cheerios caught my eye and I decided to give it a try - mostly because it's relatively low in calories with each ¾ cup serving providing only 100 calories. Also, I liked the fact that there were actual freeze dried berries included in the mix, rather that just the "flavor" of berries.
What I got was an excellent cereal, which worked well with added skim milk, or as a stand alone snack, or when mixed with my favorite vanilla yogurt. The dried blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries are sweet without being overpowering, and the O's are reminiscent of the good ole yellow box of Cheerios. When milk is added, the cereal holds up fairly well in terms of the "crunch factor" and the berries turn the milk a lovely shade of purple (also sweetening the milk in the process). Berry Burst Cheerios is certainly a worthy addition to the Cheerios line.

The House of Yes is knowingly overripe, a kitsch melodrama that dares to make incest sexy.
But it is bright, smart, sometimes wickedly funny, and crisply performed to the point where the acting seems richer than the script.
The House of Yes is what happens when a film takes the dysfunctional family melodrama to its farthest reaches. It's a bold, gutsy movie that's definitely not for everyone.
Sex and JFK's assassination are intertwined in this puerile, pseudodark story about a wacky family--an adaptation of Wendy MacLeod's play that uses the medium of cinema mainly to exploit archival footage.
Written and directed by Mark Waters, who strives for David Mamet-style punchiness but doesn't develop the quirky momentum that would carry the deliberately out-of-kilter story past its implausibilities.
Stylized dialogue tends to play awkwardly onscreen -- we're conditioned to naturalistic conversation in films -- and Waters, who makes his feature directing debut with The House of Yes, fails to create an emotional tone or attitude to match the characters' goofy repartee.
With its Rocky Horror meets Camelot aura, this little black movie reeks of self-satisfied smugness and pretentious perversity as only a Sundance Festival favorite can -- especially one that squanders the considerable quirky charms of indie-film darling Parker Posey. [10Oct1997 pg 04.D]

My fiance is separated and has been for four years. Because of lawyer switches and financial setbacks, the divorce process is still going on. Two years ago he moved across the country to be with me. I know that he is committed to me, but well-meaning friends and family often hint that he may not be ready to part from his wife. While I know they have my best interests at heart, it really hurts me, and I always come off sounding defensive when I try to explain things to them. I am up-to-date on the divorce proceedings, but must I explain every little detail to everyone in order to quell their concerns?
Of course not. Your family and friends can talk and talk -- and it's good that you realize that they only say these things because they want you to be happy -- but what it comes down to is how you feel about things. It sounds like you are confident about your relationship with this man and the fact that he wants to be with you. As long as you keep feeling that way, you shouldn't feel that you have to explain yourself or the divorce process to anyone. Next time someone mentions it, just say something like, "I appreciate your concern, but everything is fine. I am fully aware of what's going on in my relationship, and this man makes me happy. I really don't want to talk about it anymore." Most important, trust your own intuition about the relationship, now and down the road. Remember that your happiness is what's most important.

First, thank you to the many, many people who have shared the reaction video from Ron Charles of The Washington Post regarding EL James being named "Publishing Person of the Year" by PW.
Never have clingwrap and leggings looked so good. Well played, Mr. Charles, well played.
I'm over at Kirkus this week talking about Food in Romance and how characters feeding one another can have wonderful significance. (I was noshing on Thanksgiving leftovers, totally).
Food carries some powerful memories. There's a scene in Marie Sexton's Strawberries for Dessert wherein one of the heroes, Cole, uses his boyfriend Jon's family cookbook to make dinner for Jon and Jon's father, who is a widower. Jon is not at all sure how his father will react to Cole as Jon's new boyfriend, and is afraid that his dad's hesitation or Cole's sometimes outlandish behavior will cause a scene.
But Cole, who is a fantastic chef, uses the recipes from Jon's late mother to recreate some of the meals she used to serve her family. Jon's father takes a bite and remembers his wife, their marriage, and how much she loved her family. The scene is so touching, I teared up. It was a powerful example of how love can be communicated through food – and how love can't be defined or limited, no matter how one feels.
What are some of your favorite romances that featuring excellent food?
Amazon announced a new feature of their already-in-the-works please-soon-I've-been-waiting FreeTime parental controls. FreeTime Unlimited offers subscribers unlimited ebooks, apps and games for kids. Laura Hazard Owen writes at PaidContent:
For a set monthly price, families get unlimited access to ebooks, movies, TV shows, educational apps and games aimed at 3-to-8-year-olds. Kindle FreeTime Unlimited works only on the newest Kindle Fires as an extension to Kindle FreeTime, the parental controls feature that lets parents set time limits on kids' various uses of the tablet.
Households that subscribe to Amazon Prime will pay $2.99 per child or $6.99 per family (up to six kids) per month; non-Prime members will pay $4.99 per child or $9.99 per family per month. Content is "pre-screened for age-appropriateness."
I've been waiting for the FreeTime upgrade to the Kindle, especially if it limits what my kids have access to on my KindleFire. There is a FreeTime Unlimited content collection at Amazon already. I am very eager to see what this looks like – and how it works.
From Elizabeth S. comes a wonderful morning treat for each day of advent: The Hubble Space Telescope Advent calendar. One new image of deep space each day. It's a lot to take in while drinking coffee, but somehow just looking at the images of nebulae and galaxies light years away makes my brain feel very accomplished.
And finally, via Tessa Dare on Twitter, her Spindle Cove trilogy is on sale digitally!
A Night to Surrender is $2.99 digitally. This book was nominated for a 2012 RITA for Best Regency Historical, and reviewers gave it an A- and a C+.
Spindle Cove is the destination of choice for certain types of well-bred young ladies: the painfully shy, young wives disenchanted with matrimony, and young girls too enchanted with the wrong men; it is a haven for those who live there.
Victor Bramwell, the new Earl of Rycliff, knows he doesn't belong here. So far as he can tell, there's nothing in this place but spinsters . . .and sheep. But he has no choice, he has orders togather a militia. It's a simple mission, made complicated by the spirited, exquisite Susanna Finch–a woman who is determined to save her personal utopia from the invasion of Bram's makeshift army.
Susanna has no use for aggravating men; Bram has sworn off interfering women. The scene is set for an epic battle; but who can be named the winner when both have so much to lose?

A Week to be Wicked is $3.99 digitally.
When a devilish lord and a bluestocking set off on the road to ruin . . . time is not on their side. Minerva Highwood, one of Spindle Cove's confirmed spinsters, needs to be in Scotland.
Colin Sandhurst, Lord Payne, a rake of the first order, needs to be . . . anywhere but Spindle Cove.
These unlikely partners have one week:
- to fake an elopement
- to convince family and friends they're "in love"
- to outrun armed robbers
- to survive their worst nightmares
- to travel four hundred miles without killing each other
All while sharing a very small carriage by day and an even smaller bed by night.
What they don't have time for is their growing attraction. Much less wild passion. And heaven forbid they spend precious hours baring their hearts and souls.
Suddenly one week seems like exactly enough time to find a world of trouble. And maybe . . . just maybe . . . everlasting love.

A Lady by Midnight is $2.99. I really enjoyed this book and gave it an A-. At $3, it's a good bargain, if you like "I don't want to like you, I don't want to like you, I can't stop thinking about your hair DAMMIT" romances like I do.
A temporary engagement, a lifetime in the making . . .
After years of fending for herself, Kate Taylor found friendship and acceptance in Spindle Cove—but she never stopped yearning for love. The very last place she'd look for it is in the arms of Corporal Thorne. The militia commander is as stone cold as he is brutally handsome. But when mysterious strangers come searching for Kate, Thorne steps forward as her fiancÉ. He claims to have only Kate's safety in mind. So why is there smoldering passion in his kiss?
Long ago, Samuel Thorne devoted his life to guarding Kate's happiness. He wants what's best for her, and he knows it's not marriage to a man like him. To outlast their temporary engagement, he must keep his hands off her tempting body and lock her warm smiles out of his withered heart. It's the toughest battle of this hardened warrior's life . . . and the first he seems destined to lose.
