Thanks to a blown out tire, which forced me to spend most of last Friday riding in a tow truck and sitting in a tire shop, I didn't have a chance to write my weekly Weekend Reading post.1 So this week, I'm going to triple up on the normal post and write about the three books I hope to spend the next four days reading.
First up is Wiesław Myśliwski's A Treatise on Shelling Beans, which is translated from the Polish by Bill Johnston and published by Archipelago Books. In case you don't remember, Bill's translation of Myśliwski's Stone Upon Stone won the Best Translated Book Award in 2012, so I've been looking forward to this for a couple years.
And to be honest, I've been reading it for the last week. In many ways, it's similar to Stone Upon Stone—a long, looping monologue detailing the crazy adventures of one person's life, very plain language, intricate narrative structure—but also a bit different in the way that narrator isn't quite as self-mythologizing as the guy from Stone Upon Stone, and the general setting (in a part of Poland completely destroyed in WWII). Regardless, it's an excellent book, and one that I'm definitely going to finish tonight or tomorrow, and will be reviewing in full next week.
Next up is a book I should've read years ago: The Girl with the Golden Parasol by Uday Prakash, translated from the Hindi by Jason Grunebaum, and available from Yale University Press. Jason is a good friend, and one of the funniest people I know, which is one reason it's inexcusable that I've had this on my "to read" shelf for so many months.
The main reason I'm picking it up now though is thanks to Jason's essay "Choosing an English for Hindi" from the invaluable collection, In Translation, which was put together by Esther Allen and Susan Bernofsky.
In this essay, Jason invents two possible readers for this novel—Krishna, who lives in South Delhi, is a polyglot who is comfortable reading and speaking in Hindi, English, and Panjabi; and Kris, an English-reader born in Detroit and living in Chicago who has lots of South Asian friends and has attended bhangra dance parties. The crux of Jason's piece is on whether he should translate The Girl with the Golden Parasol for Krishna (and the potentially huge audience of Indians who would be comfortable reading this book in English), or for Kris (and the much smaller number of American counterparts who might buy this), and what falls out from that particular decision.
Leaving certain words from the Hindi in the English translation won't be the only difference in strategy if I translate for Krishna. I might also decide to write in a more South Asianized English. I might use an idiomatic phrase like, "I am just coming," confident that Krishna would take this to mean what in American English would translate as, "I'll be right back." Sometimes Uday's characters use English words in their Hindi or even speak in complete English sentences, like when the protagonist, Rahul, bursts into tears, and his friend implores him (and this is the Hindi), "Don't be senti, Rahul!" "Senti" comes from the word "sentimental," and here means an excessive public display of emotion: when someone loses it, can't keep a grip on himself, fails to keep a grip on himself or hold it together. Krishna would know what "senti" means, and I could leave this, and many other instances of English-in-the-Hindi, as is.
There are several more interesting examples, but you'll just have to buy, borrow, or steal In Translation to find out what they are.
And the last book I'd like to get to this weekend: The Only Happy Ending for a Love Story Is an Accident by J. P. Cuenca, translated by Elizabeth Lowe, and available from Tagus Press.
First off, this is a Brazilian book, and if you've been following this blog at all the past few months, you've probably heard about my Brazil obsession. (Which will culminate in our publication of Rafael Cardoso's The Chronicle of the Murdered House in Margaret Jull Costa's translation a few years from now.) As a result, I've been reading bunches of Brazilian books, but mostly by author's I'd already heard of. By contrast, I hadn't heard of J. P. Cuenca until reading "Before the Fall" in Granta's special young Brazilian authors issue.
It's also really intriguing that the setting for this book is Tokyo, in the near future, and featuring a mad poet whose hobby is spying on his son. I've read the first few chapters in this book, and can confirm that the jack copy is pretty much on target:
In poetic and imaginative language, Cuenca subtly interweaves reality and fiction, creating a dreamlike world whose palpable characters, including a silicone doll,2 leave a lasting impression. Written like a crime novel, full of odd events and reminiscent of Haruki Murakami's work,3 this disturbing, kaleidoscopic story of voyeurism and perversion draws the reader in from the very first page.
What I really like about this book though is the title. Such a great title. And the fact that it's from Tagus Press, a relatively new venture specializing in lusophone writing.
Anyway, that's it for this week—see you after the break!
1 OK, yes, I know this is only "weekly" in my mind, but I do have every intention of making this a more regular feature. Also, to follow up on the last one of these posts—the one about Viviane by Julia Deck—I have to tell you that Viviane turned out to be amazing. So amazing that I'm going to be teaching it in my class next semester, and highly recommend it to everyone.
2 If I had written this copy, I would've referred to Yoshiko as a "silicone sex doll." I'm not sure how accurate that is, but from the first page: "I could not be anything else because I have this body, and I only have this body, I am this body. And the purpose of this body is just one thing: to serve Mr. Okuda."
3 But better.
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .
Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .
Antoine Volodine's vast project (40 plus novels) of what he calls the post-exotic remains mostly untranslated, so for many of us, understanding it remains touched with mystery, whispers from those "who know," and guesswork. That's not to say that, were. . .
It hasn't quite neared the pitch of the waiting-in-line-at-midnight Harry Potter days, but in small bookstores and reading circles of New York City, an aura has attended the novelist Elena Ferrante and her works. One part curiosity (Who is she?),. . .

The government has struggled to come up with ways to make traditional farming more appealing as farmers in the north turn to growing miraa, a legal narcotic that needs little water and has a steady demand.
When Omar Kutara's grandfather tended the family farm outside Marsabit, it was covered with fruit trees, and rows of barley and wheat waved in the wind. But today, the stiff branches of miraa plants cover a third of that space.

Don't worry, I'm obviously not gonna smoke crack I'm just interested because I've never heard the prices.
Hmm... While I'm at it how much does heroin and meth cost?
EDIT: I'd imagine it being a lot cheaper than coke, but some people I know said it was more... But they're idiots and have been doing blow for way too long.

each of them are around between .3 to .5
I dont know how much crackheads buy. but I can garuntee you its not a little bit

That is they keep returning with other crackheads money.. So when he/she comes in the middle the night trying to score a Dub 20. and only has 8dollars or less. you feed them.. occasionally.
Its possible the crackdealer will give them a whole dub 20 to get them back on their grind. you can kinda tell when youre about to lose your snap cause he/shes been up for 2/3 days.. you might not hook them up when you know they are going to go in a crack coma, you will not see them for 12-hrs or so .. Then when they do get get up, they blow up your phone cause its kinda like they think you may have vanished, and they'll need to score too..
This Crack coma comes from being up for several days.. Crack unlike meth will not keep the head going. Its just has nothing left to hold on to.. The user passes out. When the snap calls for a wake up. They may have little money or alot from being awoken from other crackheads that cant score.. They may get a gram for $30/50 of hard and keep going like that. Or come back and forth with 20's..
Sometimes you the crackdealer will prey on these people cause they are rather annoying ones that keep coming back with 20,20,20,20 and no matter how many times you tell them. BUY A GRAM!! they just dont put 2 and 2 together and you make money on them all day long.
Often times shorting them with dimes of Air fluff- a process used with hydrogen peroxide/ It bubbles the crack up making it look larger than it is... In the middle of an Alley they take a hit, its all the same. You can fluff melt. By the time they reach their destination if they havent taken a hit already. They will probable call back. "Oh that was small" "Same thing I gave you before, they are all weighed out, shits fire dawg" within the hrs your phone should ring again them seeking more..
Many times you want to spin your most annoying snaps with Melt. The best crack you have. Then when they return all wired, you sell the shitty crack - and then the Melt..
lil homie I grew up with this shit, seen it just come and go pretty much.. some people are still regularly stuck on it and some say they smoke it cause weed fucks them up to much .. Though these are the same people plastered drunk falling in the street, so drunk they cant even smoke crack properly .... yet they still do.. :confused:
I know a number of people I seen smoking it improperly also. It needs be Vaporized to get the most out of it.. Otherwise its really really really a waste of money. but to each is own...
You really dont want to be a crackdealer do you?.. Im not going to knock you cause the shit is so cash if you know what your doing. I laid it out for you basically. I never really made alot of money with it, If I did at the time. It was before I was growing Cannabis much more independently than I am now. I wasnt always a grower.. Sometimes a shower. :p
Youre going to see how that shit is harming peoples lives and you will soon quit assisting them... Cause the same money can be earned doing less harmful things to your community...
Well sometimes at night I think I understand.

surprisingly I know of one female that smokes crack often and she takes care of her kids from what I can observe. though her BF/ husband will be out selling the kids bikes, stealing the siding off their own house, stealing cars, breaking in homes.. shes often beating the shit out of him with something .. And she still smokes the shit. :confused:Informative, but I just sadly keep thinking of these little kids in the other room sharing a pizza waiting for their mom to come out of the bedroom to take care of them for awhile ...

Why would someone need to rip off sidling on a home cause $1000.00 of dollars in damages for $50.00 worth of crack. Cause the governments are all part of the Blight process. The weaker a community is . The less threatening it is to its Government commands..
I returned from Iraq 2 times to this neighborhood, and Crack cocaine has done more damage to homes, and businesses here. Directly and indirectly than months of coalition bombings on Iraq. When you see parts of your neighborhood disappear. Crack houses abandoned, bars taken over by crack, family members taken over by it. Its very easy to think you might want a piece of the action on the destruction too..
Because once its gone, its gone.. There is no rebuilding of the crack house, its an empty lot. And more empty lots and eventually it will be peace and quiet. I live in a neighborhood that once had. 30/40 crackdearler- 1000 crackheads. Be lucky now there is 5/10 cocaine dealers and 150 crackheads tops....
Drunks.......... well............ thats another story..

There is many things you cant do around a crackhead. Thats make noise. Many become very sensitive to noise.
If your thinking about smoking crack with your buddies. You might want to send me your guitar stuff now. Cause there isnt going to be none of that..
There are a few people that can smoke it and it dont even bother them. They just get a rush high, want to do things....
Then the others nailing doors shut, closing blinds, unplugging phones and electronics looking for cameras..
A bad person on a Crack cocaine geek is the worst tripper your ever going to want around. believe me kid.. The shit isnt funny at all..
Like I said. If you like your music and stuff..... taking your shit apart, using your wammy bar as a pusher, breaking pens, hiding things- I knew one crackhead that would take a hit and go hide his pipe like the cops was at the door= RED Hot pipes that will burn your brand new coat, chairs, couch.. ect.. Hed lay them anywhere red hot.
you have people around with glass pipes breaking them on your carpet, they dont tell you-cause they was geeking on crack... people hiding in closest picking up knives to hide with..
And many time you see people take a hit the same shit youre smoking and they fly up the strairs, hiding, locking doors. Makes you wonder why its doing that to them and not to you.. Ive never had a geek like that and had to smoke enough to have a heart attack like Whoa.. but never had to lock doors and shit. It boils down to a flight or fight response type action the drug is doing. I have without a doubt believed my F/F is burned out from combat and nothing is really bothering me where I need to go hide in a closet with a steak knife..
My crack high is like a big ol O.. I like getting some head taking a blast, but that becomes sort of obtrusive to my wife. She dont use drugs really.. Thought there had been many times we had long oral sessions and I was smoking cocaine.. Eating pussy, getting your dick sucked and smoking crack.. OH ALLAH .. there isnt anything more great..

pictures Ive taken on his property.. Fact: his parents were just paid a nice amount of money for a movie staring Russel Crow. Location setting this boat dock..
I have know Mark when he was a little kid. back in the day this was a happening spot. Lots of boater and parties. It has become the epicenter or self destruction for those that can not handle large amounts of cash at one time. On numerous occasions Mark was disowned by his father for the crack cocaine issue.. Though Ive know Mark all my life, I had never served him crack. There are many crack dealers closer to him in the bottoms of mckees rocks. I live about a mile from this location.
Age 35, of Mckees Rock, on Thursday, December 2, 2010. Beloved son of Victor and Susan (Kosol) Sutey; father of Kaitlynn and Ashley; companion of Regina Marino; brother of Theresa Witthers and Roxanne Baradah; stepbrother of Carol Ann Hughes; also survived by aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Friends received Tuesday 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at the VALERIAN F. SZAL FUNERAL HOME., 238 Helen St., Mckees Rock, where services will be help at 7:30 p.m.

As some may have seen Ive spent an awful lot of time at this location, just taking fucked up pictures to show to my internet wonderland.. And I often seen Mark just scooping around the property "hey ya Mark" I say and he was always cool and the darkest suntan you could get on a white guy... LOL.
On the island in the picture above Mark attempted to grow Cannabis.. This crop was later discovered by the PIG and destroyed ..

I hope they are truly happy., cause you cant find crack cocaine with a helicopter..
Mark used his boats to gain access to the island... They cant arrest him now can they>?.....
Anyways.. This sad fact of our society, They system creates blight and takes many victims with it..
And were not suppose to be bitter..

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Pedro Almodóvars Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is pure farce, which is among my favorite kinds of comedy. It is approximately on the level of a good episode of I Love Lucy except that the themes are just a bit racier and up-to-date. This film is basically good, clean fun and hysteria at its zaniest. Historical Background: Pedro Almodóvar truly broke out into the stratosphere of filmmaking with his Academy Award winning All About My Mother (1999) and his even profounder Talk to Her (2002), but he has been making interesting, if not great, films for many years. Most critics and film aficionados consider Almodóvar the premiere Spanish director currently working and second only to Buñuel in the pantheon of all-time great Spanish filmmakers. His early works, such as Labyrinth of Passion (1982), Dark Habits (1983), Matador (1985), and Law of Desire (1987) (which also starred Carmen Maura) were too kinky and edgy to appeal to a mainstream audience. In fact, Almodóvars earliest film experience was in pornographic fare. Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown was Almodóvars breakthrough film, in terms of commercial appeal at least. He followed it with another very entertaining film in 1990, Tie Me Up! Time Me Down!. The Story: A soap opera and voice-dubbing actress named Pepa Marcos (Carmen Maura) is distraught over being summarily dumped by her lover Ivan (Fernando Guillén). The cad even had the nerve to breakup with her via her answering machine and to ask her to pack his things and leave them outside where he could pick them up. She is in a frenzy, wanting to locate Ivan to patch things up or at least put some closure on the relationship. At her wits end, Pepa whips up a batch of gazpacho (a spicy tomato juice concoction) laced with barbiturates that she means to use either on herself or to keep Ivan from splitting. Meanwhile, Ivans ex-wife, Lucia (Julieta Serrano) has just gotten out of a mental institution after a twenty year stint and has revenge on her mind. She believes that Ivan and Pepa are still an item. Pepas best friend, Candela (Maria Barranco), fell for a Muslim a few weeks ago but has discovered that he is a Shiite terrorist. He and some of his friends had moved into her apartment until their recent arrest, which is being broadcast all over the news. Candela needs a place to stay in case the terrorists reveal who has been putting them up. But thats not all! Pepa is persona non grata with Ivans mother and so must resort to staking out their apartment in the hopes that Ivan will show up there. She inadvertently discovers that Ivan has a twenty-year-old son, Carlos (Antonio Banderas), a kind of shy, lawyerly type, that he has kept secret from Pepa during all the years they had lived together. Carlos, it seems, was brought up by his grandparents. Pepa decides she will sublet her penthouse and move into an apartment. First, however, in an act of desperation, Pepa sets her bed on fire, but later recants and puts the fire out, leaving a black crater in the center of the mattress. She also rips the phone connection out of the wall and hurls it through a window. Candela arrives in a tizzy sure that the police are after her but cant get a word in edgewise amidst Pepas own distress. By chance, Carlos and his snooty tight-booty girlfriend, Marisa (Rossy de Palma), are the first potential clients who come by to check out the penthouse for a possible sublet. Pepa recognizes Carlos and Carlos recognizes the picture of his father. Marisa is non-plussed. Candela attempts to jump off the balcony and very nearly succeeds, but clings by her nails to the outer ledge until Carlos and Pepa drag her back on board. Meanwhile, Marisa gets into the gazpacho and is out cold. This gives Carlos an opportunity to fix the phone, leave an anonymous tip with the police about the plans of the terrorists, and to make several bumbling passes at Candela, who is a good deal friendlier than Marisa, but currently not in the mood. Men keep taking advantage of me, she says. Look how the Arab world treated me. Carlos urges Pepa to see a lawyer he knows, Paulina (Kitty Manver) a feminist who will surely take Candelas case. After all, she was seduced and terrorized by these Shiites which should obviate any charge against her as an accomplice. While in the waiting room, Pepa picks up the phone and recognizes Ivans voice. Paulina is too busy to take any interest in Candelas situation she is packing for a long trip (hint, hint). Back at the flat, Pepa consults with Carlos just as the ex-wife, Lucia, and the cops simultaneously arrive Lucia looking for Ivan and/or Pepa (who she still believes to be the home-wrecker) and the cops looking for whoever called in the anonymous tip about a terrorist plot. Pepa confuses them with blather (Pepa sure knows how to talk) and has Carlos and Candela get out the gazpacho. Soon the flat is littered with unconscious cops, friends, and the telephone repair man. Lucia, however, isnt drinking and helps herself to the policemens twin pistols. After disabling Pepa with the old tomato juice in the eyes trick, she kidnaps a motorcyclist and hauls off to kill Ivan at the airport. All of this nonstop farcical activity is interlaced with humorous asides. There is an extraordinary early surreal montage showing Ivan encountering one coquettish woman after another and always coming up with the right pickup line for each. Pepa and Ivan are both actors and in one scene their lines parallel whats happening in their relationship. During one of Pepas stake-outs, she watches a gal doing aerobic exercises in bra and panties in a large picture window. Pepa watches a television ad for detergent that features herself as the mother of a serial killer, washing her sons clothing with the product being advertised so effectively that the police are unable to find any blood or guts. As Pepa darts around the city racing hither and yon, she repeatedly encounters the same bleached-blond taxi driver (Guillermo Monesinos), who has decked out his taxi as a kind of leopard-skin lined mambo pad and pharmacy with an assortment of magazines, cosmetics, drugs, and so forth. When Pepa asks him to follow another cab, he opines, I thought this only happened in the movies. Through most of the comings and goings, Pepa prances around in spiked heels. Themes: This is not a deep movie and it is a bit of a stretch to talk about its theme. Almodóvar does, however, have something of a consistent message across his set of film works. First, he is interested in gender roles and, especially, gender ambiguities. It that regard, it is interesting the all of the women in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, notwithstanding the title, are strong, independent sorts of women. This is a film of which Gloria Steinem might approve. The two male characters, Ivan and Carlos, by contrast, are both milquetoast types, though Carlos is very sweet milquetoast with plenty of subliminal sex appeal. Almodóvar is a bit of a paradox. He is openly homosexual but clearly loves strong women in some broader sense than sexually. Pepa may be worked up emotionally, but she keeps her wits about her and acts with real dignity in the end. And what other male director/script writer would dare to have one of his female characters opine, Its easier to learn mechanics than male psychology. You can know a motorcycle from top to bottom, but a man never. Almodóvar, himself, appears more attuned to the feminine psychology than to that of men or at least heterosexual men. Production Values: The plot holds together very nicely and the pace is very well controlled other than a bit of slowness in the opening. Almodóvars cinematography is characterized here (as in many of his films) by an emphasis on strikingly bright scarlets and a generally gaudy color palette. There are some very clever shot angles as well, such as when Pepa faints and we see her distorted through the lens of her own glasses that have fallen beside her. Carmen Maura is certainly the glue that holds this film together, since shes the only character with any emotional depth and the one with whom the audience empathizes. The others are mainly one dimensional cartoon strip characters. Maura is not really drop-dead gorgeous, at least to my eye, but shes got appealing looks augmented by inner strength, experience, sensitivity, depth of emotions, and character. Shes the kind of woman that men should be looking for but dont often have the wisdom to choose. Her face is gaunt and highlighted by dark brown eyes. Antonio Banderas gives an appealing understated performance as Carlos, showing that he has a performance range outside of his more typically macho roles. All of the secondary roles were well-performed. I particularly liked Maria Barranco as Candela and Julieta Serrano as the maniacal, gun-toting Lucia. Bottom-Line: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown received the best picture award in Spain in 1988 and a nomination for the Best Foreign Film category at the American Academy Awards. Almodóvar had to wait until 1999 to walk out of the Academy Award ceremonies with a trophy (for All About My Mother). The DVD by MGM includes no extras other than the trailer. Surely an interview with Banderas, Maura, or Almodóvar, whether in English or Spanish with subtitles, could have been included. I believe that this film is unrated, but I suspect it would be PG-13 if it were. It is in Spanish with English subtitles (or English dubbing which I cant recommend) and has a running time of 98 minutes. ************************************************************************************************* You might want to check out these other excellent films from Spain: LAge DOr All About My Mother Belle Epoque Butterfly Carmen Cria!

Valentine's Day Chocolate Primer
Chocolate Primer rescheduled to
Thursday, February 14, 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Impress your Valentine with your knowledge of chocolate at the New Bedford Whaling Museum's "Valentine's Day Chocolate Primer." The free public event featured talks by two chocolate historians and sampling of authentic colonial chocolate beverage recipes.
Chocolate became a highly regarded addition to ship's fare on whaling and merchant vessels according to "Chocolate: History Culture and Heritage," a definitive 1000-page reference on chocolate and its development as a global industry. Two of the book's contributing authors talked in the Dutch Gallery. The book is available in the Museum store.
Christopher Kelly will presented: "Chocolate at Sea: Use Aboard Whaling and Merchant Ships in the 19th Century" at 5:30 p.m. in the Dutch Gallery.
Timothy D. Walker, Ph.D., will presented "A History of Chocolate in early New England: Where does cocoa come from and how was it made?" at 7:00 p.m.
Christopher Kelly is a writer musician, and filmmaker. A graduate of UMass Dartmouth's History program, he conducted research on the use of chocolate aboard nineteenth century New Bedford whaling voyages.
Dr. Walker is an Associate Professor of History, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where he is also the Fulbright Program Advisor for faculty and students. He has served as Associate Director of the Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture, is a member of the graduate faculty of the Department of Portuguese Studies, and is an Affiliated Researcher of the Centro de História de Além-Mar (CHAM), Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. A New Bedford resident, Dr. Walker is a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow.
The program was sponsored by American Heritage Chocolate® – part of the historic division of Mars, Incorporated – which manufactures chocolate products using authentic colonial recipes made only from ingredients available during the 18th century, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, chili pepper, orange and vanilla. American Heritage Chocolate products were available for sale, with demonstrations and free samplings at 5:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. in the museum lobby.
Admission was free to the Valentine's Day Chocolate Primer. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Macy's Week Of Wonderful Runs From Dec. 26- Jan. 1 And Features Super-savings On Post-holiday Items, As Well As New Deliveries Of Must-have Merchandise. (Photo: Business Wire)
This season, the seven days between Christmas and New Year's Day will be a magical time for Macy's (NYSE:M) shoppers as the retailer deems it the "Week of Wonderful." From Dec. 26 through Jan. 1, Macy's Week of Wonderful will serve post-holiday shoppers with the opportunity to indulge in super savings and new must-have items. Traditionally a national vacation week when many people take time off from the workplace, the week is also one of the busiest for retailers. With Macy's Week of Wonderful, special savings and brand new deliveries of merchandise await shoppers who will be wowed and delighted by what's in store.

"The week between Christmas and New Year's Day has always been about great deals, as customers exchange gift items and start using the gift cards they received over the holidays to hunt for last minute bargains," said Martine Reardon, Macy's chief marketing officer. "With Macy's Week of Wonderful, we want to make shopping during this vacation week even more fun and satisfying for customers. At Macy's, shoppers will find all the amazing savings on post-holiday merchandise we are known for, in addition to finding our stores refreshed with new, bright and colorful must-have items."
To bring the WOW to the Week of Wonderful, Macy's will debut a new television spot on Monday, Dec. 24, helmed by acclaimed director, producer and choreographer Adam Shankman ("Hairspray," "Glee," "So You Think You Can Dance"). The colorful song and dance spot starring Clinton Kelly continues the sitcom-themed format that Macy's debuted this fall, as Macy's Herald Square store manager Harold asks Clinton Kelly if he has any fun ideas about Macy's Week of Wonderful. Kelly's colorful imagination transports them into a Broadway-like world complete with WOW girls, dancing gift cards and a showstopping closing. Touching upon the notion that the week, unlike Black Friday and Cyber Monday, has never had a name, Kelly tells viewers all about Macy's Week of Wonderful and what they can expect – from super savings to the opportunity to exchange grandma's sweater for something better, Macy's is the destination for WOW moments after Christmas.

Are You Ready for a June Swoon?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After a positive month, bulls are thumbing their noses at the "sell in May and go away" crowd. But just ahead lies the potential for some serious gloom and doom in June.
Here's what to watch for as we head into the crazy, hazy, lazy days of summer.
A cluster of Hindenburg Omens: Named after the famous crash of the Zeppelin Hindenburg, the Hindenburg Omen is designed to warn of potential serious declines in the stock market. We've had two now in the last six weeks, with the first one coming on April 15 and the current one on May 29. The more that cluster, the more accurate the indicator tends to be.
The Omen is made up of a number of factors, including breadth indicators, moving averages and the McClellan Oscillator, and Hindenburg specialists note that the last confirmed occurrence was logged in October 2007. It correctly predicted market swoons in 1987 and 2008, but skeptics point out that it has only a 25% long-term accuracy rate.
Economic and market disconnects: Economic fundamentals and stock market action have been on a diverging course since the recent rally started in April. Across the board, economic fundamentals have weakened while the major U.S. indexes were setting record highs on nearly a daily basis. Europe is clearly in recession, China is slowing, U.S. consumer spending and incomes are stalling and major commodity markets like copper, lumber and gold all point to a global slowdown. Volatility in Japanese financial markets has gone parabolic and regardless of Federal Reserve easy-money policy, markets cannot ignore economic fundamentals forever. As these disconnects grow, it becomes increasingly unlikely the United States equity market can continue marching higher on a solo path and totally out of synch with the rest of the world.U.S. corporate health: The PC market continues to languish. Wal-Mart's (WMT) results point to a stressed consumer, and in a little-reported event last Wednesday, Moody's downgraded Alcoa (AA) to junk status. Alcoa's credit is now Ba1 with a stable outlook, which is significant because Alcoa is a member of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and widely seen as an economic bellwether in its position as a major global aluminum supplier. A slowdown in demand for aluminum is viewed as a precursor for slowing economic activity, much like copper and lumber, and so weakness here confirms other indications of the slowing worldwide economy. Alcoa typically kicks off earnings season, and so its next report in early July could be interesting and will be carefully scrutinized for signs of weakness in the macro economy.

Relaxed Sparkle
Photos by Pete Navey
Boots Zara, Skirt By Malene Birger, Jumper H&M, Sunglasses Super from Shopbop, Bag Yves Saint Laurent, Cuff Moxham.
I love the look of sequins and embellishments dressed down for the day. I think it can look so relaxed and yet exciting and cool.
This skirt is a super mini so I like it with flats and a big top for the day. Otherwise it can look a bit full on. Aviators and a big bag are also a great way to dress things down. Some how they just make things look more casual.

Oh my goodness, I absolutely love your sparkly skirt and how you paired it with such a lovely knit jumper!
www.michelleesque.comSuch a cute look! Love the laidback look with a sequin skirt! Adorbs!

The Hennepin Canal Parkway follows an old towpath that was actually never used, although the locks and aqueducts are in still in place.

The landscape varies from forest to grasslands to marsh to farmland, and the trail is particularly pleasing during fall, when the leaves are changing colors. The Hennepin Canal Parkway has become a cyclist's paradise and an exceptional spot for fishing, birding, horseback riding and a wealth of outdoor recreation.

Elphinstone Secondary School senior girls volleyball team is tops in the province, having secured the number one ranking in The Province newspaper's weekly standings.
The Cougars continued their strong play, winning a 24-team tournament last weekend in White Rock against some of the top teams in the province.
In the gold medal final, Elphi knocked off the number one ranked AAA team in the province, Seaquam, in two straight sets, playing some of their best volleyball of the season.
On Monday night, Elphi beat Rockridge 3-0 in the North Shore League semifinals, setting up the title game against Carson Graham Wednesday night (past Coast Reporter's deadline).
With a win, the Cougars would be off to their second straight Lower Mainland championships, which are set to start next week at Notre Dame and will feature some of the stronger AA teams in the province. The top two teams from the Lower Mainland championships qualify for the provincials.
Junior girls
The Elphi junior girls are having an equally strong season.
So far they are undefeated in regular season play and playoff action and took second at a recent invitational tournament.
The junior girls played for the North Shore championship against Handsworth on Wednesday.
This is the same squad that went undefeated last year to win both the North Shore championship and the Vancouver and District Grade 9 championship.
