Ah, decorating for the holidays is so much different when you bring kids into the mix. Candles are out of the picture. Breakables are put up high or not at all. Grandma's vintage ceramic Christmas tree? Forget it. I had just read article from Parenting.com 4 Ways to childproof your home for the holidays then received a very timely guest post from new blogger and SAHD Michael Buerke. Serendipity fills the holiday season. Thank you Michael! Read and enjoy!
(Bombs) Away in a manger - Michael Buerke
It's a shame when a missile takes out the Manger.
One of The Boy's mom's favorite things to do every year is prepare the house for Christmas. The 2 largest Rubbermaid boxes come out from underneath the stairs (they are green with red lids, for visual effect and for easy finding for the hired muscle - me), containing 3.5 decades worth of memorabilia and tchotchkes from Christmases past. Everything blue and silver and gold and red and green and plaster and snowflaked and tinsel is in there, but not the tree itself, which is purchased exactly the Friday after Thanksgiving. A real live one which smells way better than the little things that hang from car mirrors or squirt out of a plastic aromatherapy jar. Real trees are a must for our house.
This year's tree adornments have a refreshing and novel scheme - the decorations reach all the way down to the bottom branches. Not since year one in our house (that we've owned for 9 Christmases) have the bottom branches bore fruit. Year two introduced a beagle puppy, Year four introduced a human puppy, and between eager jaws and eager opposable thumbs, the cherished glass bulbs and fine ribbons weren't allowed within reach. The tree always reminded me of Donald Duck - wearing a shirt, but uncomfortably naked from the waist down.
But this year, with the beagle in beagle heaven...
(where the rabbits are slow and forgetful and the chipmunks can't climb trees and the kitchen counters are conveniently slanted towards the linoleum and you're allowed to walk farther away from the curb than a leash would allow),
and the Boy having matured enough not to squeeze the glass ornaments to "see what happens", we have a fully clothed tree.
And, oh, was The Boy helpful. He very carefully trimmed the branches with his favorites (the ones he called "the most beautifulest I've never seen"), and did an excellent job.
As for the rest of the house, I know that this is my wife's favorite. She very peacefully walks around the various rooms and strategically places her prizes in purposeful spots, deciding which will be showcased this year and which will stay hidden for a future year. She does a wonderful job each time, while I watch TV. (decorating the indoors for Christmas would give me an asthma attack if I had asthma, I'm convinced. My hands shake just thinking about how many things would break if I ended up handling them). Anyway, the stockings were hung, the bowls and hangings of Christmas-y things interspersed exactly as they should be. Tis the season!
Ah, but that poor manger. First, it's a lovely little wooden desktop manger, complete with barn animals, three very wise-looking men, angels, shepherds and of course, the Fam, haycrib included. All less than 3 inches tall. I'm almost positive it was a gift from great-grandma Betty, a lovely gift.
This year, the manger got top billing - a spot on the entertainment center in the great room near the gazing ball (aka television). It wasn't there an entire afternoon before this happened:
You see, (almost) 5 year old boys are notorious for staging disasters. Car accidents are envied, tornadoes and exploding volcanoes wished for upon a star. Not for anyone to get hurt, mind you, just to see what happens. Turns out boys never outgrow this fascination. We men define rubbernecking. Look at how far that hood crumpled up, honey!, as we drive past at 10 miles an hour (and sometimes, when alone, circle back for another look at a different angle). We stand on the patio during thunderstorms, staring at the clouds looking for funnels, we watch shows called "10 Greatest House Explosions of All Time" and "World's Deadliest Roads" and "Buildings That Crumbled" and "Dangers on High - the World's Largest Recorded Waves".... Not for anyone to get hurt, mind you, just to see. Just to see.
Nothing is safe from the destructive imagination of a pre-school boy, not when free range missiles are on the loose. Not even the manger. Note the very relaxed looking cow on the top, acting like he's supposed to be there, and the baby J, teetering over the edge of the cliff. I'm sure someone could write a novel on the symbolism, but I digress.
As for the manger, it has now been restaged on the mantle, 7 feet off the ground. Maybe next year.
Michael Buerke is a stay-at-home-dad, raising a quirky and gifted 5-year old boy alongside his highly educated and breadwinning wife of 10 years, Annalisa. As she slowly pays off the mortgage on their 1100 sq ft suburban dream home. Between loads of laundry, Michael writes about the never-ending joys and blunders in bringing up The Boy (tm) .

Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Ex-FrontPoint Partners LLC hedge fund manager Joseph F. "Chip" Skowron's wife asked a judge to sentence him leniently for insider trading, saying he didn't realize he'd done anything wrong that could send him to prison.
Skowron, a physician from Greenwich, Connecticut, pleaded guilty in August to conspiring to commit securities fraud and obstructing a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation probe for trading on inside information about Human Genome Science Inc. and then lying to investigators. He's scheduled to be sentenced November 18.
The U.S. said Skowron obtained nonpublic information about hepatitis C drug trials from Dr. Yves Benhamou, an expert in hepatitis drugs and a former adviser for HGSI Human Genome Sciences. The tips enabled FrontPoint to avoid more than $30 million in losses, prosecutors said. Benhamou has also pleaded guilty.
"I'm trying to understand how he could risk so much," wrote Cheryl Skowron in an Oct. 1 letter to U.S. District Judge Denise Cote, who is presiding over the case. "He says he had no idea prison was a possibility otherwise he never would've done it. I believe him and yet here we are."
'Rock Solid'
"I need to tell you how wonderful my husband is, except I'm struggling with my disappointment in him over this circumstance," she wrote. "Take it from me, aside from this one time mistake, Chip's character is rock solid."
In court papers filed yesterday, assistant U.S. attorneys Pablo Quinones and Reed Brodsky dispute claims that Skowron didn't realize his actions were criminal.
Prosecutors said that Skowron, who has medical degree from Yale School of Medicine and was a portfolio manager at a multibillion-dollar fund, corrupted Benhamou for illegal tips, then lied to the SEC about his actions and later persuaded Benhamou to also lie to regulators.
The hedge fund had $7.5 billion under management at the start of November 2010, before the charges were brought by the U.S.
A pre-sentencing report issued by U.S. Probation officials estimated that Skowron could face 87 to 108 months in prison, prosecutors said. Both sides have agreed to a five-year term.
"Skowron outwardly appeared to be a 'good person' dedicated to serving others," Quinones and Brodsky said. "Skowron's outward appearance stands in contrast to the corrupt character that conspired to commit securities fraud and to obstruct justice to conceal his fraud."
Galleon a Victim
He earned more than $32 million while at FrontPoint, prosecutors said, adding that one of the five victims defrauded by his crimes was Galleon Group LLC, the hedge fund co-founded by Raj Rajaratnam.
Rajaratnam was sentenced to 11 years in prison, the longest in U.S. history for insider trading, after being convicted in May on 14 criminal charges.
Galleon claims to have sustained $1.56 million in losses while Deutsche Bank AG lost $2.4 million, prosecutors said in court papers, noting that the victims are entitled to restitution.
The U.S. yesterday also disputed Skowron's claims of financial hardship, noting that his estimated net worth is about $20 million even after paying a $5 million forfeiture. The U.S. says that court officials estimate his home is worth about $7 million and that he also owns expensive cars including a 2006 Aston Martin Vanquish and 2009 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider.
James Bejamin Jr., Skowron's lawyer, declined to comment on the government's sentencing memo.
37 Letters
Cheryl Skowron's letter was one of 37 submitted to the judge seeking mercy and leniency for Skowron, prosecutors said.
Since last November, federal prosecutors in the office of Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara have charged more than 20 people, including Skowron, in a series of securities fraud cases involving insider-trading and hedge funds.
Benhamou acted as a paid consultant to hedge funds while also working as an adviser to HGSI and serving on its steering committee for trials of Albuferon, a hepatitis treatment, the U.S. said. Prosecutors said Skowron gave Benhamou more than $14,600 in cash and paid for hotel rooms and expenses.
The case is U.S. v. Skowron, 11-cr-699, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm David Greene.
And I'm Renee Montagne.
Publication is the coin of the realm for scientists. It's how they make their careers.
GREENE: Traditionally, it's been hard to get research published at least until the last decade and explosion of open-access journals online.
MONTAGNE: Unlike Nature or the Journal of the American Medical Association, open access journals don't charge readers. Instead, they may charge the researchers they publish - sometimes thousands of dollars.
GREENE: And there's another important difference. Often open-access journals don't do what's known as peer review.
MONTAGNE: Reporter John Bohannon, of Science magazine, found out just casual the vetting process can be with Web journals, compared to how it's long been with peer-reviewed journals.
JOHN BOHANNON: The basic idea is if you're a general editor, a paper submission comes in. First, you do a smell test and as long as it looks reasonable, and has the potential to be important enough or interesting enough to be published in your journal, then you send it out to peer reviewers - which are at least one, sometimes as many as five or six independent scientists, and they remain anonymous. And those scientists go to town on that paper.
They try and find anything that could be wrong with it. They nitpick wording. They question the underlying assumptions. And they send all this feedback to the editor, who then sends it on to the scientist anonymously. And it's a back-and-forth. The results, everyone agrees, is that papers come out better because of it.
MONTAGNE: Right, so given the rise of open-access journals, you decided to do an experiment. That is, send in for publication a fake experiment. And, as you describe it, it is a sting operation.
BOHANNON: That's right. So I created a paper that purportedly tests the effect of a chemical on cancer cells. And that chemical was extracted from a lichen; one of those scrubby, moss- like, little things that grow on rocks. And then I created a computer program to scale this up. So I created hundreds of very similar but fake papers from fake African scientists.
MONTAGNE: And then, the key to all of this is that you wrote what amounted to a hopelessly flawed experiment.
BOHANNON: That's right. It was a paper which was credible. It looked like real paper, not a joke. But if you peer-reviewed it, you would within five minutes see that it was so flawed that it could never be published.
MONTAGNE: Tell me one red flag.
BOHANNON: OK, if you're claiming to have evidence that some chemical is a promising new drug, well, you better have tested at least on healthy cells. Because even if you show that it hurts cancer cells, how do you know what you have there isn't just a poison? So that's one thing that's just awful about the paper, is that it doesn't compare cancer cells to healthy cells at all.
But another one is right there in the first data graph, shows this chemical being tested on cancer cells across a huge range of concentrations. And that every single one of those doses, it has the same moderate effect on the cancer cells. And the graph claims to show a dose-dependent effect. Now, any real scientist who's reading it as a peer reviewer will say, hang on, that is the opposite of the dose-dependent effect.
MONTAGNE: And you turned it into how many journals? And how many approved it and were going to publish it?
BOHANNON: I submitted it to over 300 journals. And, in fact, just this morning - an hour before we're talking - one more acceptance rolled in.
MONTAGNE: And that brought your number of acceptance to what?
BOHANNON: One hundred and fifty-eight acceptances versus 98 rejections.
MONTAGNE: We should say that the journal where you work, Science, does do peer review. These open-access journals also say they do peer review, but what you're finding is that some don't - or at least some don't do it well. What is the take away?
BOHANNON: The take away shouldn't be that open-access is broken and not worth trying. Open-access is great and everyone believes that. It's just a question of how to implement it. I mean, there were a lot of bad journals revealed by this experiment. But on the other hand, there were a lot of good ones. I was so happy, for example, to get the rejection letter from a Hindawi journal. Hindawi is this huge operation in Cairo, and has been criticized for being low quality and spamming scientists. And yet they provided great peer review.
MONTAGNE: Also, researchers who submit their work are not necessarily scammers. Some would really benefit from valuable peer review and they're not getting it, which is quite unfair in that respect.
BOHANNON: That's right. Yeah absolutely, some of the victims here are surely the scientists who have paid good money to have their work peer-reviewed and published in these journals. Many of them, probably naively, think that they're taking part in a scientific enterprise and, in fact, they're just getting duped.
But my hope is that now that we have a map of at least some of the good versus bad journals, scientists can submit their papers to one of the good guys and for the same amount of money, get the real deal.
MONTAGNE: Thank you very much for joining us.
BOHANNON: Thank you, Renee.
MONTAGNE: John Bohannon is a molecular biologist and visiting researcher at Harvard University. He's also a correspondent for "Science" magazine. And his article, "Who's Afraid of Peer Review, " is in the current issue.

Born in Brooklyn in 1964, Yauch formed the Beastie Boys with Mike "Mike D" Diamond and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz in 1979. They were initially a hardcore punk band, but eventually changed their style to hip-hop. The trio had a breakout hit in 1986 with their first proper album Licensed To Ill, which included the smash single "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)". The LP would become the first hip-hop album to top the Billboard 200, and the Boys would go on to win three Grammys and three MTV VMAs.
Yauch's interests weren't limited to writing and performing music. He directed many of the Beastie Boys' music videos, using the pseudonym "Nathanial Hörnblowér". In 2002, he built Oscilloscope Laboratories, a recording studio and film production company that would release dozens of independent movies, including Yauch's 2008 feature-film debut, basketball documentary Gunnin' For That #1 Spot, and Banksy's critically-acclaimed street art doc, Exit Through The Gift Shop. Yauch, a practicing Buddhist, was heavily involved with the movement to free Tibet, and helped put on the first Tibetan Freedom Concert in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park 1996, which drew 100,000 people.
In 2009, which marked the thirtieth anniversary of the formation of the band, Yauch revealed he had a cancerous tumor in his left parotid gland. The band canceled their tour and delayed recording their album Hot Sauce Committee Part One, so that Adam could go through treatment.
In April, the Beastie Boys became the third rap group to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. Yauch was not able to attend due to his illness, but still had a strong presence at the ceremony: his bandmates read a letter he had written, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers dedicated their performance to Adam, and a special medley of Beastie Boys tunes was performed by The Roots, Kid Rock and Travie McCoy. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony airs this Saturday on HBO.

"My daughter LOVED the cards, Her pictures came out perfect. You have the option of writing something on the back for no extra charge so we put the date, time and address of graduation location. The quality was outstanding and we couldn't believe how fast they were shipped to us, we got them in less than a week!!"
"I ordered two different designs for my graduation invitations and this was my favorite one. It was simple, yet chic and stylish and it met all of my needs. The picture quality was great, they printed beautifully on the paper and the paper itself was great. I was more than pleased with my invitations!"
"This was by far the fastest shipping I've ever had from a company. Not only did they arrive nearly a week ahead of time, they were also the exact colors and size I designed them to be. Great job, and as this being my first order, I will most definitely be using Tiny Prints again for my special occasion. Very well pleased!"
"I was extremely happy with the announcement I made with this design. I used the black format which worked well as each picture used had a distinct element of black in it. It was easy to customize and play around with various fonts until I found the one I liked best. I didn't pay any extra for the paper used and it was like a heavy card stock--very nice! We have received nothing but compliments on the announcement, and I would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"Everyone I gave this graduation announcement to loved it! The quality of the paper and the actual picture quality was excellent! Would order this product again. Probably for my Christmas cards."

These shoes are very stylish and comfortable
These sandals are all kinds of good. They are stylish and comfortable. Each summer I can totally change their look just by purchasing new ribbons. I have heard others say they could never wear Ssekos because they need sandals that are slimming. I have calves that are thicker than the average woman and am able to find ties that look flattering on my legs. I often field questions when I wear my sandals in public. Ssekos cause quite a stir and women usually write down how to spell "sseko" right away so they can find them later online. I love these sandals. I get a stylish and unique look, and the added benefit of knowing I have made an impact by choosing to spend my money on a product that does so much good.
Please thank Joyce and Synyia for making these beautiful sandals. This is my second order......I loved mine so much that I ordered more for birthday presents for my friends. It's nice to wear something that isn't mass produced, that's handmade, different and supporting a truly great cause. The SSEKO story is an admiration, keep up the great work!
These sandals are awesome!! I normally wear a 7 and they fit perfectly. I love that you can lace them to fit your feet and your style and that there are literally endless possibilities with them. They are very comfortable and I can wear them all day without my feet hurting. I also get compliments on them every time I wear them!

"I read previous reviews and cut the salt by half. I used vegetable stock instead of chicken and it turned out quite tasty. This made two meals for us... the first right out of the oven with kale pesto swirled into it and toasted walnuts. Yummy!! We put the leftover (while warm into a sealed leftover container to chill. It comes out in a loaf""

We're considering adding a decorative stone veneer (natural or cultured stone, not sure which yet) to the facade of our house. The veneered area would be from the ground to about 3 feet up on all faces of the house which are visible from the street. One of those faces, which currently has a stucco exterior, has several foundation vents positioned about 6 inches up from the bottom of the wall.
I am worried that the vent cutouts in the middle of the stone veneer will look very out of place and will destroy the visual effect of the veneer accent; DH, on the other hand, thinks that having vents in the middle of the stone accent area is no big deal. It would help us a lot if we could see and/or hear how others have dealt with this issue. Did you choose dark stone so the vents would not stand out so much? Did you select stone sizes/formats that matched the vent shape so the vents would not stand out so much? Did you have your mason fit the stones around the vent, or did you have him just saw off the stones to accommodate the vents? Or, did you just not worry about it, like my husband?! I would love to hear your opinions on this matter and see photos of your decorative stone/foundation vent interfaces if possible. Thanks so much! |

Hi, Cast iron or bronze grilles in whichever design you deem appropriate; that's one way. The other way I've seen (and this only works with 4" or more thickness) is to make the grate out of thin splits of stone vertically or horizontally with spaces for air in between; a stone louver. The stones could be cut from flagstone or similar thin splits. Casey |
Some low shrubs for landscaping. |
Choose the color stone you want, then spray paint the vents to match (before installation). |

In PV for Thanksgiving with family. Was thrilled to find this B&B when looking for the "typical" motel stay. We LOVED this place and plan on using it again and again. The owner was very kind and helpful during the booking process. And upon doing the unthinkable.....leaving a phone charger behind, he promptly called and let us know he would mail it! Definitely recommend this gorgeous home!

Since we stayed Christmas Eve, we were not provided breakfast on Christmas morning. The inkeepers let us know this when we made the reservation. It was disappointing, but understandable.

My sister and I stayed there over the weekend. As kids, we had driven by this house numerous times when we came to Pauls Valley and loved it even then. There are so many interesting architectural details in this house and it's like stepping back in time. Large rooms, big bedrooms with plenty of storage space, a huge kitchen and lovely dining rooms...just some of the things we enjoyed during our stay. Couldn't ask for better Innkeepers, either; they were just great. Conveniently located to Arbuckle Wilderness and Oklahoma City, it was the best of both worlds for us. The best part is the wonderful patio on the side or the house where you can have early morning coffee or late evening conversation while watching the world go by. We will definintely stay there again. Thanks to Dan and Candace for sharing this great home with us. Gretchen

We married in the Pauls Valley Bed and Breakfast. I put some of my family up in the rooms for the night before. They were pleased with their stay. All guests who visited for the event were impressed with the setting. It is very ornate on the inside and has plenty of character in each room. The main room is spacious enough to comfortably seat our group of 36. The owner is very pleasant, easy to contact, and easy to work with. We are so happy to have chosen Pauls Valley Bed and Breakfast.

Philip Kerr to Explain Hitler with 'The Poison Kitchen'
Movie News By Scott Beggs on November 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAccording to Deadline Hollywood, the best-selling author Philip Kerr will take a stab at detailing the rise of the Nazi party in 1920s Germany for The Poison Kitchen, a movie being directed by Robert Schwentke (Red, Flightplan). His pedigree as a writer of detective stories set in that tumultuous time certainly qualifies him for the project, but it will also be his first screenplay so it will be interesting to see him transition his skills to a new format. The film will be drawn from the Ron Rosenbaum book "Explaining Hitler" and will pit the growing National Socialist party led by Adolf Hitler against journalists at the "Munich Post" who trash the group as thugs and criminals. You'll never guess who wins. The world should never stop making movies about WWII and the Nazis. As long as more people can learn about their atrocities and more of us can be reminded of the modern danger they posed, the word should be spread through every medium possible. What's more – this movie represents a chance to highlight a group of people within Germany who actively fought against Hitler, and that's a bit of history that sometimes gets swept under the rug in favor of the myth that a country simply woke up one morning and decided to burn its citizens while invading Poland. At any rate, this project sounds like a fascinating one.
Criterion Files #197: 'Night and Fog' Makes the Atrocities of the Past Devastatingly Present
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on September 29, 2011 | Be the First To CommentOne major aspect of the Nazi propaganda machine that gained their support from the German people was their promotion of nostalgia. And like any form of nostalgia (and especially in nostalgia's frequent political function), this was a selective nostalgia, decidedly exploiting certain tropes and icons of German history and heritage. A major component of this nostalgia was the promotion of nature as the means of returning to pure German identity. Nature provided a convenient contrast to the values that the Nazi party wanted to work against, and it's opposite – the urban center – was the focal point of all they problems they perceived Germany as having been misguided by, most explicitly centralized in the supposed decadence of 1920s Berlin. The political, aesthetic, and sexual aspirations (not to mention the diversity) of the Weimar period posed a threat to the ideals of tradition, uniformity, and the assumed hierarchy of specific social roles. This nostalgic and romantic preoccupation with nature is readily available in German cultural products of the 1920s and 30s. Anybody who has seen Inglourious Basterds (2009) is familiar with the "mountain film," or "bergfilme" genre that had peaked by this point. This genre was popular years before the Third Reich took power, and its prevalence speaks volumes to the German peoples' preoccupation with nature leading up to the Hitler's rise to power. Leni Riefenstahl, perhaps the most famous of Nazi-era filmmakers, starred in mountain films and went onto make Olympia (1938) and Triumph of the Will (1935), a […]

Culture Warrior: Speculating Bin Laden's Cinematic Legacy
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on May 10, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThere will inevitably be a movie about the mission to kill Osama bin Laden – this much is certain. Recent news has established that Kathryn Bigelow might be the first to try to put into play one of several projects related to last week's assassination amongst several that are being shopped around. The reasoning is clear, as the material lends itself inherently to cinematic expression. The mission itself, in short, feels like a movie. Whether or not this movie (or movies) will have anything to say beyond what we already know and think and feel is unknown and, in Cole Abaius's terms, it will be difficult for such projects to escape an inherent potential to come across as a shameless "cash-in." My personal prediction is that the first movie that arises from bin Laden's death will, at best, be an exciting procedural that visualizes an incident we are currently so invested in and preoccupied with. But I doubt that anything released so soon will remotely approach a full understanding of bin Laden's death as catharsis for American citizens, as a harbinger for change in the West's relationship to the Middle East and the Muslim world, as a precedent for the possible fall of al Qaeda, etc. In short, we won't be able to express cinematically (or in any other medium, for that matter) what the death of bin Laden means until the benefits of time and hindsight actually provide that meaning. This is why I think any movies about Osama […]

Comics (for iPad)
Well-designed browser-based store. Most new books available the same day as print issues. Excellent Guided View mode. Option to display two pages at once in landscape mode. Fit-to-width mode. HD comics support. Syncs content across devices.
- Cons Lacks an in-app payment system. Must purchase comics via a mobile or desktop browser. Holes in the back catalog (including all of Dark Horse Comics).
Bottom Line
Comixology, in an attempt to wrest money from Apple and Google's pockets, now requires its fans to buy their favorite digital titles using a web browser. Despite the mildly annoying change, Comics for iPad is still the best all-around reader/marketplace combination for iOS users who read books from multiple publishers.
Many comics fans wondered what would become of Comixology's marvelous Comics apps (free) after the company was purchased by retail giant Amazon in early April. Weeks after the Amazon buy, the Comics apps' fates were revealed: They've been revamped to prevent Apple and Google from getting a cut of the comic book profits. This move affected the Android and iOS apps in different ways.
//Compare Similar Products
CompareComics for Android emerged changed, but largely unscathed; it ditched Google Wallet payments and adopted a cool new shopping cart, and an in-app purchasing system. Comics for iPad (free, reviewed here), likewise, underwent significant changes, but they weren't nearly as welcome as those in the Android version. Unfortunately, Comics for iPad no longer includes a built-in store, thus requiring potential shoppers to buy titles through mobile or desktop browsers (no, it's not a standalone, store-less comic reader like YACReader). Purchasing books now requires an extra, annoying step. Still, Comics remains the best reading and shopping experience for those who read books from multiple publishers on an iPad.
The Big Change
Let's start with the big change here: You can no longer purchase digital comics from with the Comics app. If you've ever tried to shop via the Kindle app on your iOS device, the experience is quite similar. To be clear, this is an issue that only affects iOS shoppers; the Android version of the Comics app still has an integrated store, and even has a nifty new shopping cart that lets you simultaneously purchase multiple books, collections, and bundles. Buying comics using the iOS app now requires you to use Comixology's website (though you can still search and add books to your wish list using the app).
Fortunately, you can shop using your iPad's Web browser, so you won't be tied to a desktop when you're ready to pick up the latest Green Lantern issue. You can also toss multiple books into the cart using the browser. After you make purchases, you return to the Comics app and download the books to your iPad. It's an extra step that didn't exist in previous versions of the app. That said, Comixology has a well-designed browser-based store that makes shopping a breeze. I found shopping via Safari an effortless experience.
From a business standpoint, I can understand why Amazon and Comixology decided to go this route; giving Apple 30 percent of each purchase is a lot of lost revenue. However, as a frequent Comixology user, I find that the lack of an integrated store removes the app's former browse-and-buy simplicity. The buying experience before the revamp was near-perfect. It'll be interesting to see if this strategic play affects comic book sales.
Note: Although you can't purchase apps from with the app, Comics for iPad lets you download freebies such as The Walking Dead #1. It also lets you add titles to your wishlist. Which you can then access from the Web store—much as you can in Kindle for iOS.
Getting Started
Other than the missing store, Comics for iPad is relatively the same app as it was before the big change. You begin by creating a dedicated Comxiology account (no, you can't log in using your Amazon credentials). Books are tied to your account, so you can access them from Comics' multi-platform mobile apps, as well as the Comixology website. In fact, the reading works cross-platform, too; when I opened G.I. Joe #1 issue on an iPad, Comics asked if I wanted to continue where I'd left off in the Android app. Those who read on multiple devices will really appreciate that feature as you'll never have to flip digital pages to pick up from where you left off.
Even though Comixology's technology powers DC and Marvel's own separate digital comics marketplaces (those apps still support in-app comic purchases), Comics is the place to go if your tastes aren't tied to a particular publisher. Comics features titles from a wide array of publishers both big and small: The big two are well-represented, as are smaller houses such as 12 Gauge, Action Lab, Devil's Due, Dynamite, IDW, Image, and many, many more.
Dark Horse Comics, which is pushing its own non-Comixology app, is notably absent from the Comics marketplace, so you won't find the likes of Blackout or The Star Wars. It's a shame, really. It would be nice to have all the publishers under one roof. Furthermore, Dark Horse's standalone app isn't nearly as good as Comixology's iOS app.

Nikki Sixx Says 'New Blood' in Rock Proves Gene Simmons Wrong
Gene Simmons may think rock is dead, but his former touring mate Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue begs to differ.
Gene Simmons may think rock is dead, but his former touring mate Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue begs to differ.
No, that wasn't a guitar face you saw as Nikki Sixx wrapped up the initial string of dates on Motley Crue's Final Tour.
Nikki Sixx has taken Gene Simmons to task after the Kiss star implied that those with depression should just kill themselves.
The first sample from the Motley Crue Country tribute album, Brantley Gilbert's 'Girls, Girls, Girls.'
A few weeks after their much-publicized feud reached a head, Sebastian Bach has taken another shot at Nikki Sixx.
The Motley Crue bassist thinks the former Skid Row singer should stop calling himself a "former Skid Row singer."
As anybody who has watched cable news in the past week or so knows, Justin Bieber has been having a hard time of late. Busted for DUI and drag racing in Miami, he's also facing possible assault charges and other controversies. But help is on the way from an unlikely source -- one who has seen and done it all -- Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx.
Yesterday Motley Crue confirmed that they will embark on one final world tour before ending their career. At the press conference announcing this trek, they even signed a first of its kind 'Cessation of Touring' contract that apparently prevents them from getting back together, just to show how serious they are.
Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx took to twitter to slam Phil Robertson and the Duck Dynasty gang, but twitchy.com called him out over racist and anti-gay remarks that Sixx has made, and posted video of it. Nikki then quietly deleted his tweets, and now he's keeping his mouth shut.
Nikki Sixx took to his Twitter account overnight to blast 'Duck Dynasty''s Phil Robertson for the racist and homophobic quotes he made recently.
The bell rang on round five of the "was Sebastian Bach asked to join Motley Crue?" debate between Nikki Sixx and the former Skid Row frontman late last night, with Bach providing video of Sixx recounting a time when they all at least rehearsed together.
Motley Crue have added two new tour dates to their upcoming upcoming residency at Las Vegas' Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Janet Hanlin of the Canadian Cancer Society's (Georgetown-Dufferin-Peel Unit) Relay for Life committee was a bit wary of a werewolf at the McBride family's Scare for a Cure event which was held Saturday night at their 11180 Winston Churchill Boulevard home. The event was used as a fundraiser for the Relay for Life. The McBrides— Randal, Chris and their son Kyle— have been Halloween fans for years and decided to turn their annual private party into a fundraiser.

I'm having some remodeling done and have a septic tank. The GC has been washing the joint compound off his tools and trough in my sink. I know of all the usual things I'm not supposed to put down the drain, but what about joint compound? Will it stay in the tank until it's pumped, or can it get into the drainfield? I want to say something to him ASAP if he needs to stop. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not a big deal, only thing that goes into the drain field is the grey water, no solids. |
Tell him to wash it off using a garden hose in the yard. It is just adding solids to the septic tank, and for drywall compound some portion will likely make it past the tank and into the leach field. |
I work in a part of California with very strict laws about what you can wash down the sewer and what you can put down the storm drain. The best thing to do when cleaning tools is to scrape as much as possible into the trash and wash the tools off into the grass (or softscape as they call it.) Washing onto the street, sidewalk, or driveway is illegal unless you completely block the storm drains and vacuum up the water. But washing into the grass is considered OK. As long the grass and soils can absorb the water, they will filter out almost everything before it makes it to the storm drain. |
On occasion, I wash tools in a bucket, them make a hole somewhere in the yard (like in a mulch bed), them pour the waste water into the hole, then recover with the mulch or dirt. Good as new. |

L. Ron Hubbard had a restlessness that led to a lifetime of traversing the globe. So it was scarcely three years that the eclectic writer and adventurer lived at his "House on Camelback." That modest home on 44th Street in Phoenix, recently restored to how it looked in 1952, is regarded as a religious historic site — the birthplace of Scientology.
L. Ron Hubbard had a restlessness that led to a lifetime of traversing the globe. So it was scarcely three years that the eclectic writer and adventurer lived at his "House on Camelback." That modest home on 44th Street in Phoenix, recently restored to how it looked in 1952, is regarded as a religious historic site — the birthplace of Scientology.
"For it was here that he developed the first exteriorization process and advanced fully into the realm of the human spirit, and here that the religion of Scientology was born" is how the church describes the home, 5501 N. 44th St., now open to private tours.
"There was meticulous work to restore it back to its original state," said Marlyse Brock, who oversees care of the house, leads tours and does public relations for the church. In June, the restoration work earned a Governor's Heritage Preservation Honor Award.
A 55-year-old photo of the house with Hubbard standing on the porch and Camelback Mountain in the background matches what the house looks like today, even with a 1947 Buick Super 8 parked outside. It was characterized as a "humble, little ranch-style house out in what was then the desert outside of town."
Hubbard, then 41, had brought his wife, Margaret, and two teenage children in March 1952 from Wichita, Kan. The 1,146-square-foot home was typical of Phoenix houses being constructed at the time. Hubbard opened offices in downtown Phoenix, establishing the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. He had published "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health" in May 1950. It became a best-seller and put Hubbard in high demand as a speaker. In 1952, he delivered 230 lectures, followed by 274 in 1953.
"Arizona played a pivotal role in the formative years of the Scientology religion," church literature explains. "It was in Phoenix that L. Ron Hubbard realized the scope of the subject he had embarked upon."
The church itself was formed in Los Angeles in February 1954. Soon after in Phoenix, Hubbard wrote the church's creed (read it).
Churches of Scientology subsequently began in other American cities, Europe, Australia and South Africa. Its literature speaks of "the famous 'Phoenix lectures' " and of "thousands of Scientologists who traveled to Phoenix from around the world."
Hubbard believed Scientology was a practical religion developed out of scientific methods of research and the basic laws of human behavior. Critics, however, would label it pseudoscience and scoff of its legitimacy as a church.
L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology, in this 1952 photo, stands on the porch in of the home at 5501 N. Camelback Road, Phoenix, where he lived for three years. The home at the west end of Camelback Mountain was purchased by the church and meticulously restored in 2005. A 1947 Super 8 Buick like the one Hubbard owned is parked outside. (Julio Jimenez, Tribune) |
The Church of Scientology has been restoring other homes related to Hubbard's career, including one in Washington, D.C., where he settled in the spring of 1955. He also lived on a 59-acre manor in West Sussex, England, 1959 to 1966, and called it the headquarters of Scientology for the United Kingdom. Hubbard had a home in Johannesburg, South Africa, and later a ranch north of San Luis Obispo, Calif., where he died in January 1986 of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 74.
In 2000, a corporate entity of the church bought the Phoenix home to restore it. It began two years of intensive research of the home and furnishings, involving "thousands of photos and documents," checking Phoenix city files and conducting interviews. A historic preservation specialist was hired to guide the work and find authentic elements for all the rooms.
Restoration of the home was completed in 2005. It has two bedrooms, a study, a combination living room/dining room, kitchen and two bathrooms. A large library and research center was constructed behind the home as part of the project, and a swimming pool, put in by a later owner, remains in place.
Hubbard was a prolific photographer, and photos taken at the home allowed for curtains and other furnishings to be made close to original designs. Even an obscure model of a piano was purchased. On one table sits an early Mathison electropsychometer, used to measure nervous reaction to questions and "psychic trauma," as interpreted by auditors.
During restoration, Spanish arches on the front porch of the home had to be removed. A north wall of the living room had been extended by a subsequent owner and a fireplace added. The fireplace was removed and the wall put back. And just as Hubbard had hung a rabbit's head with antlers (a "jackalope") in the living room, so one was added with the restoration.
Even a lounge chair shown outside the Hubbard home in the 1952 photo was custom-made. It is set out regularly in the same spot. "We wanted to give it the exact feel and look that it was," Brock said. Kitchen appliances are from the early 1950s, as is a Dictaphone, an early business tape recorder that Hubbard used in his study. The two former bedrooms and study feature extensive displays, photos and copies of Hubbard's published works, including 600 tapes of his lectures. Room displays begin with his birth in 1911 in Tilden, Neb. There's a photo of him as an Eagle Scout at age 13. That event allowed him to meet President Calvin Coolidge. Other photos include his travels in the Far East with his father, a U.S. navy commander.
Brock said the Church of Scientology is known for its building restorations and has established major urban churches in once-rundown landmarks.
"This is part of the history of Phoenix and Arizona," Brock said, noting that the home represents an authentic living environment from more than a half-century ago.
Hubbard treasured his years in Phoenix, she said. In one of his writings, he said, "Dawn is breaking behind the red stone of Camelback Mountain … Some of the recent developments are awe-inspiring, even to me — pure magic — but so is this dawn. I shall miss Arizona."

Cervicogenic headache
A cervicogenic headache is, by its definition, any headache which is caused by the neck. The term 'cervicogenic' simply refers the cervical area, which is a part of your spine located right near the base of the skull. The pain of cervicogenic headache is usually unilateral; it originates in the neck and then spreads to the oculofrontal-temporal areas of the head. The headache initially presents as intermittent episodes and then progresses to an almost continuous pain. Pain may be triggered or exacerbated by neck movement or a particular neck position; it can also be triggered by applying pressure over the ipsilateral upper part of the back of the neck or the ipsilateral occipital region.
One of the most prominent causes of a cervicogenic headache is simply undergoing an excessive amount of stress to your neck and spine.
There are several factors that can contribute to making cervicogenic headaches more severe or happen more frequently. These include fatigue, problems sleeping, disc problems, current or prior injuries, poor posture and stress on the muscles.
Common symptoms of a cervicogenic headache include a steady, non-throbbing pain at the back and base of the skull, sometimes extending down to the neck and between the shoulder blades. The pain can also be located behind the brows and forehead. Because of the location, most of the pain is felt in the head, even though the problem is originating from the spine. Pain usually starts after a sudden neck movement, such as a sneeze. Along with head and/or neck pain, symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, blurred vision, becoming very sensitive to light or sounds and feeling pain down one or both arms. The neck also becomes very stiff and the patient may have trouble moving.
The workup of cervicogenic headache begins with a careful history taking and physical examination and order of appropriate diagnostic studies that includes standard radiographs, 3-dimensional CT, MRI, and possibly electromyography; nerve blocks may also be used to confirm the diagnosis.
Pharmacologic management of cervicogenic headache usually starts with simple analgesics, such as NSAIDs, aspirin, and acetaminophen; the response varies from patient to patient. Combination products (eg, hydrocodone/acetaminophen and butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine) often are prescribed but cannot be recommended, given the potential for residual and rebound effects. If all other treatment fails, judicious use of an opioid can be tried, using a sustained-release medication on an around-the-clock basis for persistent headaches to avoid a rebound effect. Invasive procedures include trigger point injections, greater or lesser occipital nerve blocks, facet joint blocks, segmental nerve root blocks, and diskography; spinal manipulation; and behavioral approaches.
There is no direct and identified prevention measures that could certainly help a person avoid episodes of cervicogenic headaches. However, as always, you are advised to take healthy diets, get proper sleep and reduce overall tension.

QLast spring I bought a couple varieties of coleus. I really liked them in my patio planters and I thought I'd start them from seed this year, but I can't find these varieties listed in any of the seed catalogs I get. Do garden centers start the plants they sell, and where to they buy their seeds?
AGarden centers can produce all those flats of annuals and vegetable plants in several ways. Many are started from seed by wholesale growers; some are started by the garden center. Garden centers may buy the seedlings from the wholesaler as plugs (these are small plants with a root ball not much bigger than a bottle cap) which the retailer then plants into a larger cell pack or pot and grows on. Wholesalers also sell many finished plants to garden centers.
There are seed companies who deal strictly with large growers. They do carry some of the same varieties that you might find in your seed catalogs at home, but they also carry many additional varieties, often in a wider range of flower colors. And, of course, they sell in wholesale quantities.
In the case of your coleus, however, it may not be a seed question at all. Coleus can be started from seed, but many of the coleus varieties sold as plants in garden centers are started from cuttings, not from seed. Check with the garden center where you purchased your coleus last year. They should be able to tell you if they were grown from cuttings. You can always buy more this year, then root some cuttings of the plants in late summer. You can carry these through the winter as houseplants in a sunny window, then start more cuttings to set out in the spring.
QWe want to plant gardens around our cabin near Hinckley. There are lots of deer around, so I need suggestions for annuals and perennials that deer won't eat.
AGarden and landscape plants provide a smorgasbord for browsing deer. In the summer deer will eat both foliage and soft new stem growth, and in winter they will eat twig tips of woody plants. Deer seem to favor some cultivated plants more than others, but any plant is subject to browsing.
Lists of deer-resistant plants vary in different regions of the country, so a plant that deer rarely eat in Massachusetts may actually be eaten by deer in Minnesota. That said, here are some plants that sources list as deer-resistant:
Yarrow (Achillea)
Monkshood (Aconitum)
Anise hyssop (Agastache)

I didn't find a good list of these things on this site so I thought I'd share this with everyone if you don't know much about the some of the features in Archeage. Hope you find it as helpful as I did. I've been looking for a good English Guide about the ingame features that Archeage has to offer and stumbled upon this site. Kudos to LlexX for taking the time to do this for us all. I know I really appreciate it. Now I'm even more excited to play the game after seeing there's so much more to do than just sit and kill mobs all day or sit in a dungeon gear grinding.
