I got 2 of these to wear as cuffs to hold up my sleeves when i am out gathering with friends (so as not to be the one who spill all over because of an out of control sleeve :) works very well and the number of compliments from friends and strangers is proof that this is a great choice Great for gifts PEACE and GRACE LOVE WON m
The only thing I didn't like was the stretch part. My sister loved it !! It was a birthday gift for her and she thought it was beautiful. It was a great gift at a low price. You can't go wrong with that !!
I love the bracelets and the fact that delivery was faster than I expected. Packaging was excellent and very secure.
The bracelet was large in diameter - much to big for the average wrist. It was pretty, but I could have done better at a local jewelery store.
This bracelet was extremely cheap. Something I might buy for my 8 year old niece, only it was quite big. I couldn't wear it. It was supposed to be elasticized, but the starting size was way too big. Ridiculous. Like something I'd buy at a *******.
This is a very nice bracelet and comes boxed very nicely. I bought this for some collegians in my sorority who had done an excellent job this calendar year. Our colors are purple and white so I hoped this bracelet would be perfect. The women love it, but the amethyst purple crystal is more brown than purple.
This is a very pretty bracelet. Depending what you are looking for; I like to go to casino's and love to have sparkly jewelry on!
Very dressy but i wear it to work in my resturaunt. Inexpesive enough for every day. Great for a blingy girl. Got compliments from customers.
Great value for the money. Great accessory for Spring and Summer
This is my first disappointing Overstock purchase. The bracelet looks like something from a Dollar store. It is made well enough, it is just rather cheesy looking in real life. Looks more like something for a small child.

Nanny available and open to a nanny share in Portland or Vancouver
March 23, 2015
Hello. My name is Misty McCleary and I am looking for a nanny position & I am open to a nanny share too in the Portland Metro area including Vancouver. I am willing to work with all ages of children including newborns and school agers! Rate I charge is $15+/hour (we can talk about something different if it's a Nanny Share situation). My background consists of raising 3 daughters of my own who are now 18, 15 and 7 ½ & working with children in a few different learning environments including: running a licensed in-home childcare and Montessori as an Infant & Toddler teacher. While at the Montessori school I went to school to become a certified Infant & Toddler Montessori teacher, so I bring that with me as well!!
What I bring with me as well:
• CPR & First Aid certified
• 200+ hours of child development classes
• Associates Degree from Clark College
• Montessori trained
• Food handler's card
• Clean Background
• My own transportation for myself and children as needed including a clean driving record.
Some things I enjoy doing with children include taking them to fun events or places throughout Portland/Vancouver area (library, zoo, OMSI etc), lots of arts & crafts, reading, helping with homework, dancing/singing, dress-up, Yoga, and keeping busy and away from the TV. I also love to spend time with children and help them learn and explore new things in a positive safe and clean atmosphere. I can cook, clean, organize daily. (I can respect any dietary needs/restrictions). I am comfortable with pets and helping keep them safe & happy in the day.

Unbearable lightness of bodies
Patrick Westwonders why, in a godless age, we should be so obsessed with corpses
Patrick Westwonders why, in a godless age, we should be so obsessed with corpses
by Patrick West Published
When the cult known as Heaven's Gate committed collective suicide in March 1997, they did so in a manner that reflected the uneasy relationship most people have with their bodies. The 39 cult members who ritually ingested a fatal cocktail in a hilltop mansion in Rancho Santa Fe said that their bodies were mere "containers", and that their spirits were in a process of ascending to a UFO that was trailing behind the passing Comet Hale-Bopp. Yet, in each member's trouser pocket, there was a five-dollar bill. This was odd: it seems a little pointless to take money with you on a journey that your body is not going on.
The scandal over the removal of organs from dead babies at Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool, has shown that we are still confused about what it means to be human. The conduct of Dick van Velzen, the former head of pathology at Alder Hey, seems ghoulish to many; but equally macabre has been the reaction of some of the bereaved parents, who raided hospitals to scoop up the bits and pieces of long-dead children and carry them home in plastic shopping-bags, so as to go through the ritual of burying the remains for a third or fourth time.
It is often said that, with the decline of religion, most people accept that life is mere biology; we have come to think of ourselves through the body rather than the soul. We are now a corporeal society. This is not to say we are more rational; on the contrary, we are like palaeolithic man or the Vikings, attaching a mystical aura to the spectacle of the corpse. The reaction to events at Alder Hey reveals how we have become at once obsessed and terrified by our own bodies: we are no longer quite sure that there is any more to us than the physical.
My own everyday experience as a 26-year-old journalist suggests that even mere talk about death makes young people today feel decidedly queasy. I write obituaries for the Times three days a week. To tell new acquaintances that you make your living principally by writing for the Thunderer's "death squad" is a sure-fire way to bring an introductory conversation to a hasty, awkward halt. "Obituarists don't actually kill people," you have to remind them. The mere mention of death seems to propel young people into a form of ghoulish catatonia. For Generation X sophisticates, once you have died, you have gone: these atheists believe that when the body dies, the person is extinguished with it. Older, usually Christian, people (who are nearer to appearing on the obituaries page) always say: "Oh, what a wonderful job to have." In their eyes, I am charting what is merely a transition between this life and the next.
Atheism has its roots in eastern writings of the sixth century BC, but it was first espoused in Europe two centuries later, by the Greek philosopher Epicurus. He said that, upon the moment of death, the human body is dispersed into atoms. "Death is nothing to us," he said. "For that which is dissolved is without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us."
In more recent times, sociobiologists have popularised the notion that man's body is a mere machine with inbuilt obsolescence. At the other extreme sit the theories of Hinduism and Budd- hism, which assert that our bodies are vehicles not for our genes, but for the immortal soul. Between the two extremes sit the Abrahamic religions, which stress the primacy of the soul while revering the body's attachment to it.
The growth of atheism has put an end to communal funeral rituals. Without them, we are more terrified of death than ever. Christian inhumation ceremonies - in which the disposal of mortal remains is secondary to praying for the "repose of the soul" - provided us with an important catharsis. Participating in a burial ceremony reminded the mourners that ashes to ashes was not only part of the divine, but also the natural order of things. Today's bereaved atheists receive no comfort from priests or community; for them, the corpse becomes something wholly macabre, rather than the mortal shell of an eternal spirit.
Our fear of age, as much as our rejection of God, makes us approach death with loathing. What with "the Old Gits" lampooned by Harry Enfield or Richard Wilson's Victor Meldrew, and the growing enthusiasm for euthanasia, it seems that the post-1960s generation do indeed hope to die before they get old. We want to look young, and we wage war against the manifestations of age, such as obesity and wrinkling, through dieting and plastic surgery. We are a society of hypochondriacs, scared about damaging our bodies by subjecting them to alcohol, tobacco or the "wrong type" of food.
We want to perfect the living body - and to keep death at bay. We also demand that the integrity of the body be kept in death. The Alder Hey scandal came only a month after Dr Paul Knapman, the coroner who ordered that the hands of the victims of the Marchioness disaster be severed from their corpses for purposes of identification, was described as "no less than a butcher" by a bereaved relative. Our desire to keep the corpse intact exposes a denial about the process of death: in the grave, after all, a body starts to putrefy within 24 hours and eventually, bar the skeleton, decomposes altogether.
The majority of Britons, sceptical of both science and religion, no longer know how to deal with death - and certainly not with the remains of a dead person. You can be sure that, when the time comes, they would take five dollars to UFO heaven.

gas fireplace turns on by itself!
gramsbearDecember 9, 2012
And it wont shut off unless we turn off the gas.It has a wall switch,no remotes.Saw this same problem posted in 2007 but no real answers.Unless ghosts were the answer!!!
Its pretty scary to find the fire going when we didnt turn it on.
My house is 15 years old and this started in about 2008.Just kept the gas off until recently but the problem still exists....
When you refer to wall switch I presume that it's a OFF/ON switch and not thermostatically controlled. Either way you need to have it replaced.
As well if you haven't used the fireplace regularly for 4 years it would be prudent to have it serviced by a pro. We don't want to mess about with explosive gases especially in our homes. Here an annual service is around $100.00.

Brolly: The text-friendly umbrella
January 30, 2013
It's a cliche, but sometimes the simple ideas really can be the best, and a new umbrella dubbed "Brolly" reinforces this notion once again by offering an umbrella design which allows the user to keep a firm grip on the handle, while still leaving both thumbs free for texting.
Admittedly, Brolly doesn't boast the ability to entertain passers by with glitchy tones, nor does it radically re-invent the umbrella's classic form. But what it lacks in novelty, Brolly promises to make up for in utility, with a soft and ergonomic finger hole grip which makes use of all four fingers to keep a steady umbrella.
Assuming it works as well as advertised, Brolly could also potentially be a real boon for people who suffer from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and some other conditions which affect the hands, as it is claimed to reduce the amount of pressure needed in order to hold the handle firmly.
Brolly is offered in blue and black, and will set you back US$19.95.
The promo video below shows Brolly in action.

Is there any new Missions after The Undine Advance
Ive just completed the last mission for The Undine Advance, but no other missions have become available. Is there anymore missions to the Federation?
Just asking as there is alot of unaswered questions in the game.
If anyone knows can please let me know.
Many thanks
That's it so far. The 2800 series was the last group of episodes released but those were tacked onto the end of the Cardy series.
They're planning on introducing some new content surrounding a group of Augments who followed Khan's teachings for the next major game update, but I do hope they continue with normal missions that will expand on the Undine, and more importantly, the mystery behind the Iconians.
I hope they finish the Inconian thing off, as i really hate unfinished things!
That's why i keep listening or reading every interview done with the staff. but I've had to stop recently because, to be honest, I got a little tired of "Well, that sounds interesting. We're looking into that, but I can't say anything right now." I truly understand not being ale to speak on anything concrete because of what CBS hamstrings are put on the Dev team, but, along with new episodes, I would prefer hearing something about new KDF & Fed content when it's being worked on, instead of the "I don't know. We'll see" responses to most of the player's questions on this subject.
I found this:
For now the team is entirely focused on Season 6 which includes a new Fleet Advancement system, Fleet owned Starbases, new 5 and 20 man Fleet Actions, updated PVP, and some Foundry additions. Once Season 6 is released, we can start talking about the next Storyline missions.
and this:
For Season 6, we will be adding new Space and Ground 5-captain repeatable missions similar to STFs, however they will be accessed differently than the current queues. Two of them will be accessed through slots on the event timer, and another two will be accessed similar to Red Alerts that can pop up at random times. As far as the specific STF Children of Khan, it is not on our current schedule and has been postponed until a future, yet to be determined, update.
and this:
Q: Are we ever going to see more missions that continue the main story line? Not even FE, just an installment of episodes that picks up where the last undine mission left off?
Dstahl: Yes of course, but not until sometime after our next major update (Season 6).
and this:
Most of the new missions coming in Season 6 are slated for groups of max level Captains where you will face difficult challenges. Some of the names of these missions are No Win Scenario, Colony Rescue, and 3v3 PvP. As far as story specific missions, you can look forward more progress on the storyline sometime after this next major release.
and this:
There arent any story STFs in Season 6. For the next major update we will be introducing new challenging 5 and 20 max level captain sorties that are designed to be challenging space and ground combat missions. These mission will be similar to the Borg Red Alerts or the Mirror Universe events that are currently in game.
Could you Please provide a link confirming a Dev response speaking of the new content you mentioned, sir.
I would love it if that's what they are planning to do.
The Children of Khan thing. I'm talking about the group of augments who follow Khan's teachings. Their leader escaped from Prison 4028 during the riot... as well as the Romulan commander that you capture during the Romulan story arc.
I asked for a link where a Developer posted they were going to do what you said, which was:
"They're planning on introducing some new content surrounding a group of Augments who followed Khan's teachings for the next major game update"
Especially since the interview with the Executive Producer said very recently about Season 6:
"As far as the specific STF Children of Khan, it is not on our current schedule and has been postponed until a future, yet to be determined, update."
I guess I just wondered where you saw something to the contrary to what the EP said.
Well in the new Ask Cryptic, they said that Season 7 is going to be largely story, so probably then.
Until then, try out some Foundry mission. Most of them are really good, even better than many of Cryptic's missions.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Burke's days numbered
Blue coach kept players motivated, but that's not enough to save job
He couldn't make them win. Probably no one could have done that. But he made them care.
And while that almost certainly won't be enough to save his job at season's end -- in a business that's all about winning, Tim Burke's Winnipeg Blue Bombers have just three of them in 17 games in 2013 -- the Bombers head coach can savour the fact his players never quit on him as the biggest victory of all in his one-plus seasons as field boss.
Whatever tiny glimmer of hope Burke had of saving his job probably evaporated in the past couple weeks with a pair of losses to the Toronto Argonauts, including Thursday's 36-21 defeat at Rogers Centre.
Burke's Bombers were vastly improved -- and as they say in the horse racing world, "game" -- over the last month and could have, with a few breaks, won both those Toronto games and be riding a three-game winning streak when you add the win in Montreal on Thanksgiving.
But the Blue Bombers didn't win and the most recent losses to Toronto have left this particularly sadsack edition of the Bombers flirting with some unfortunate infamy -- needing a win in their final regular-season game on Nov. 2 against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to avoid tying the franchise mark for worst regular-season record in an 18-game season, set in 1998 by the 3-15 Bombers.
When that's all your team has left to play for -- well, that and the dwindling number of fans who actually turn out to see the Bombers play in a sparkly new, taxpayer-funded football palace -- the question becomes not if you're going to be fired, but when?
And that's too bad. I will continue to argue, even as Burke packs his suitcases sometime in the next month or so and points his car south on Highway 75 for one final time, that this Bombers team lost this season despite the efforts of its head coach, not because of them.
And there are others at the highest level of the Bombers organization who feel the same way. But the fans are angry -- and rightly so -- and the team that plays for Burke, despite its very best efforts, has simply not been good enough to provide the Bombers front office enough wins to make the case that Burke should stay and fight on in 2014.
And so sometime before the end of this year, Burke is going to have to walk the plank. But first things first -- the club must decide whether to remove the "acting" tag from CEO Wade Miller and, once that's done, decide whether to do the same for acting GM Kyle Walters.
Only once those two things are done and both positions are filled on a permanent basis -- or at least as anyone with the Bombers ever has a "permanent" job -- will the inevitable decision on Burke be made and a hunt for a new head coach begin.
And who will be on that list? The two names that have popped up most in the past few weeks are Calgary offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson and Toronto defensive co-ordinator Chris Jones.
Dickenson is probably the better choice, given that the chronically offensively challenged Bombers need an offensive guru much more than they need a defensive one. But whether Dickenson would be interested in the Winnipeg job is a much different matter.
The story in Calgary goes that Dickenson was offered the Edmonton head coaching job a few years ago but passed in large part because his wife and kids have deep roots in Calgary and had no interest in moving, even if it meant just a short drive up the road.
Whether the Bombers will be able to convince a family like that to move to Winnipeg and take over the reins of a football team that has a terrible reputation right now among coaches and players throughout the CFL, sounds like a tall order.
Maybe Bombers special teams coach Craig Dickenson can talk his brother into making the jump to Winnipeg? Maybe, but it says here probably not.
So, Jones? Maybe, but that sounds an awful lot like what the Bombers had in Burke, a defensive guru with no experience on the offensive side of the ball. Sounds like more of the same movie to me.
So, who else? Saskatchewan's quarterback coach Khari Jones? He knows the city, the city knows him and they like each other.
Or how about an off-the-board pick in Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed, who will probably soon be looking for another job, after his team -- like Burke's -- lost a ton of games this season not because of the head coach, but because of a lousy GM.
Or how about B.C. offensive guru Jacques Chapdelaine, who is widely considered one of the Canadian game's best offensive minds?
Suffice to say, the Bombers will have all kinds of potential choices for a new head coach, but they all -- with perhaps the lone exception of Dickenson -- would probably come with a great deal of risk and unknown.
One thing is certain, however -- Whoever the Bombers retain as head coach next season, nothing is going to change until this team does something about its quarterback problem. Not to mention its kicking game, Canadian talent, secondary...

Twin Ponds Golf Club
Gilbertsville course is short but sweet
For the last year or so, one of my regular golf buddies has been trying to get me out to the course he played growing up, a little family-run, no-frills operation called Twin Ponds Golf Club.
"I'm telling you, you'll like it," he'd promise.
"I'll get around to it," I'd tell him. The no-frills part didn't bother me. Out beyond the suburbs, there is a whole world of small-town, no-frills courses that are terrific. What gave me pause about Twin Ponds was that it's only 5,588 yards, which to me is woefully short. Why bother?
|At a glance
| Getting there: Twin Ponds Golf Club is at 700 Gilbertsville Rd., Gilbertsville, Montgomery County. From Route 73 in Gilbertsville, follow Gilbertsville Road past Bermont Motors. The course is 1 1/2 miles on the left. The phone number is 610-369-1901.
Green fees: WWeekends and holidays: $38 with cart, $28 to walk. Weekdays: $30 with cart, $20 to walk, twilight (after 4:30 p.m.) $12.
Walking: Walking permitted anytime.
Amenities: Small, sparsely furnished pro shop; casual, inexpensive snack bar; practice range (must supply your own balls); picnic area for 200.
Rating: FA short course, but charming and challenging. Excellent for short hitters. Easy to walk; a good course for family golf. Very affordable with a no-frills, friendly atmosphere. Worth a try.
Last week, my buddy finally persuaded me to give the course in Gilbertsville, Montgomery County, a try, and I'm glad he did. I'm definitely going back.
If Twin Ponds comes up short in yardage, it's long on personality and panache. There are wide-open holes and there are tight holes with tree-lined fairways. A few holes are flat, but most are gently rolling doglegs that play into small, bunkered greens. Six ponds are scattered around the course, but they are not especially imposing.
It's not a difficult course. Even from the back tees, the rating is 65.5 and the slope 111. Still, there is enough charm and challenge to make you happy.
As for the length, yes, Twin Ponds is short. But there are four par 5s - the 14th tops out at 573 yards, uphill and usually into the wind - and you will reach for the driver on most every hole. The course's lack of length comes more from its six par 3s and its healthy assortment of short par 4s. Granted, big hitters might not need more than a short iron into several of the par 4s, but you'd better be accurate.
If there is a bottom line, it's that Twin Ponds is ideal for golfers who want a good course, a challenge, but who can't handle those tracks full of 440-yard par 4s over water and wasteland.
"We like to say it's a fun course - you can miss a shot and par the hole," owner Ron Hoffman, 70, said last week.
It was back in 1963 that Hoffman, whose father and grandfather had operated a dairy farm on the property, decided that the farming life held no future for him and his wife.
"I'd never played a game of golf in my life, but my brother-in-law had started to play over at Arrowhead," Hoffman said. "He said, 'Why don't you build a golf course?' "
Hoffman decided he had heard dumber ideas in his life, even if golf wasn't as hot as it is today. He called in Leon Sell, not exactly a career architect but a man who had recently expanded Spring Ford Country Club in Royersford from nine to 18 holes. Sell now lives in a house off the sixth hole.
Hoffman, who is recovering from a yearlong bout with cancer, can still be found at the corner table in the casual clubhouse that was once a barn.
"Used to have 70 head of cattle right here in this building," Hoffman said. "When I got mad at the cattle, I could kick them. I can't kick the customers."

School Notes:
Dr. Karen Bishop founded Halstrom Acadmey (formerly Futures High School) in 1985, envisioned a private middle school and high school that was committed to providing individualized instruction to foster academic growth and success for all attending students. Learning is a personal, life-long experience. Optimum learning occurs when the learner actively participates in the process. Instruction focuses on the learner's skills, interests, needs, and rate of progress. Students and instructors work together "one-to-one" to achieve learning expectations and personalized goals. The instructor develops a mentor relationship with the student. The intense interaction increases the student's responsibility in the learning process. The self-discipline required to work independently transfers successfully to college and a wide range of careers. Halstrom Academy promotes academic success, builds positive self-concepts, and encourages appreciation for learning through personalized instruction in a caring environment.

Wish Kuryakyn would make different flags to fit this flag mount. But these American flags are very nice, triple stitched in stress spots.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello all.
I'm not a designer or typographer, just an editor. I edit a small-scale UK magazine. As well as covering current affairs we review films and music, but it's a pretty intelligent read -- sophisticated but pretty sober. We're relaunching next month, going from a mono interior to full colour.
Obviously fonts are a pretty big deal. It's the designer's call, but I got a few books and read up just because typography interests me. I also read a bunch of blogs and forums.
But here's the thing. I can't understand why Mrs Eaves wouldn't be a brilliant body text for us. I know it's pretty common now, and I know it draws attention to itself, but I like that it's full of character. In comparison most other things look bland, particularly the Baskerville alternatives that I get presented with.
The designer is with me to a certain extent. He says that he loves the way it looks, but that I should understand that typographers have a problem with it as a body text. Well, I guess I do, but only insofar as it wants to be seen. I do think it's readable despite all that.
If we use it it'll be 11.5 on 11.5, with column widths of around 75mm. We'll be printing onto good-quality 90gsm satin.
So, if you think my subscribers will benefit, please convince me that I'm wrong (with alternatives). The only other font I've seen that I really like is Fabiol, and I reckon you'd think that was worse...
I've set a book (over my protest) in Mrs. Eaves. The designer insisted on it. To my eye, it is so open & gappy you can drive smallish trucks between the letters. When you look for type for body copy -- text -- don't look at individual letterforms first. Look at sentences, or at least groups of words. Once you find fonts where that is comfortable, then look at letterforms if you wish.
Yes, it is readable. I once had a famous designer call me & exclaim "I took all the word spaces out of the text, and I can still read it!" I suppose you could. But why would anyone want to?
''In comparison most other things look bland, particularly the Baskerville alternatives that I get presented with..''
I think Mrs Eaves was meant to be a revival/reinterpretation of Baskerville.
I haven't seen it used at small sizes, and for a lot of running text as in a magazine (But then 11.5 is not very small). Fabiol too has somewhat eccentric details for running text.
Why not set a page or two with actual content in both, and get a few people to read it. Or have you already?
Btw. You may also like to look at FF Absara
Mrs. Eaves is very wide and, as Charles says, gappy but I like it and have used it for body text.
Typographers argue about everything! But this is your magazine… if you like Mrs. Eaves, then use it! Your designer should be able to handle it without too much trouble. If your readers don't like it, you could always change it later, but they probably won't find anything to object about.
I have set some pages. We found that if we kerned (I think that's the right term) the text to -5, the gaps seemed fine to us. Is there a specific reason we shouldn't be doing that?
And yeah, it's a Baskerville revival. But the other Baskervilles (at least the ones I've tried, which includes the Storm ones) just seem pretty dull to me.
Tracking is the right term, and I've found a little tracking helpful in Mrs. Eaves too. I'm assuming you're talking about InDesign when you say -5, not Quark.
''Is there a specific reason we shouldn't be doing that?.."
I don't think there's one, as long as it looks good.
If it's Indesign, the other way of doing it is to go to 'Justification' from the 'Paragraph' tab and adjust Word and Letter spacing.
If you are not familiar with the problems of typography, as you say you are not, one thing it is important to be aware of is that scale makes a big difference. A type can be excellent in display size, and less good or even horrible at at small size in extended text.
If you like the look in display you might consider using Mrs Eaves for display, but use another type in the text.
…I know it draws attention to itself, but I like that it's full of character.
The problem is that the fabulous character the makes Mrs. Eaves so great as, for example, a business card typeface, can get really tedious after a while. The funky spacing and generous overshoots are really cute in small doses, but compound them with the high-contrast of the text and you're making a recipe for annoyance. Also, keep your printing techniques in mind; if this magazine is coming out of a not-so-great press on low-cost paper, as small magazines often are, the hairlines in a Baskerville will start to break up and disappear, especially if you use a color that isn't very dark. Topping it off, there's a very historical feel to any Baskerville design, and it's going to look very odd as body copy in a contemporary music and film magazine.
Consider reserving Mrs. Eaves for flavor here and there in short articles, especially when the point size can be bumped up to compensate for magazine printing. But using it as body copy throughout probably won't work out too well.
James that's a good point viz the dose. I may love it because it's a recent discovery. If I were to use it as a headline or display font, which serif font might work alongside it for body copy?
I think that you should do your designer the favor of letting him do the work you're paying him to do. He's a professional, and shouldn't have to deal with being second guessed by not only his client, but by an internet discussion in which he is not a participant.
I'm with James there, where clients are concerned a little knowledge can be very dangerous. Makes me crazy when they try to educate me about fonts.
Mrs. Eaves is one of my favorite typefaces, but it is one of the worst spaced professionally released typefaces of the digital era. The spacing of the punctuation is especially jacked-up.
Some people say the letterforms themselves are not good for small text, but that's nothing compared to the spacing issues.
where clients are concerned a little knowledge can be very dangerous.
Jeez Patty, that one of the most elitist things I've heard in a while. Educating a client should look to make it easier for the designer, not harder.
"Yes, your designer is right. There are myriad reasons, such as such and such, why you should listen to your designer."
How does that harm the designer? In fact, it might even lead to a greater appreciation of type, and that leads to not only better typography, but better sales for the type designers.
I think you read into that a little deep, Dan.
It isn't a client who is educated that is the problem. It is a client who has read an article or two and thinks they are experts.
One thing the designer might not know about is fontin, though he might know how to get the permission to use it in a for-profit product.
It's a fair point about letting the designer do his job, and I don't mean to make anyone believe that I think I have a proper understanding of the problems with this font. It's just that, in a sense, I'm not the real client -- my subscribers are, and I have to believe I understand them better than anyone. That's also what the designer believes (or how he flatters me) and he seems keen to get my input. Of course I discuss this with him, I'm just canvassing for a little opinion. Also, I wonder how much of this stuff comes down to fashion. I've heard a number of things said about Mrs Eaves that just aren"t true, and they appear to have been said as much in reaction to its popularity as to its inappropriateness.
Equally, not all designers have typography as a strength, and some advice from people who take it seriously has to be worth seeking.
Bear in mind that I was asking you to convince me! I wasn't looking for ammunition to use against my designer. We are both looking for font recommendations -- something with character that will hold up to this sort of use.
I'm sorry if I've trodden on any toes -- I appreciate that I'd get uppity if a designer tried to teach me how to edit. I'm genuinely trying to take advantage of your knowledge.
It is a client who has read an article or two and thinks they are experts.
Believe me, my eyes roll whenever my editor tells me that there's "too much white space" or that Arial is the "most legible typeface of all time".
But that shouldn't discourage anyone from educating a non-designer, "It's the designer's call, but I got a few books and read up just because typography interests me," who is looking specifically for help in understanding his designer's decision.
Mrs. Eaves sometimes feels like Papyrus to me, except that by the grace of god it wasn't included in Windows, so it's only designers for the most part who abuse it. Same goes for Scala Sans. It's just a no-brainer go-to for designers working on another condo development or another organic product.
My point is, if you're looking for something that feels like a historical revival, there are way better options out there. http://www.dstype.com/leitura.html -- dstype's Leitura, for example, or his not yet released Capsa http://www.dstype.com/workinprogress.html
Dan - way to overreact. I believe in educating the client as much as the next person. The problem comes, as Tiffany said, when the client thinks they know more than the designer. Or when they get an idee fixe about a design idea or a font and won't listen to other ideas. I had an editor recently who insisted the type be miniscule because that would make it look "contemporary". Another client who won't allow purple because he read somewhere that purple doesn't sell. I felt sorry for the designer of my mother's book after she showed me the galleys and I marked up everything that didn't work. Believe me the design was terrible and needed help desperately, but the last thing that poor designer needed was the author's daughter telling her what to do.
In any event, showing is always more effective than telling when it comes to design.
"it it'll be 11.5 on 11.5, with column widths of around 75mm"
No leading on an open spaced face like Mrs Eaves is not the best idea. The open look and poor kerning will accentuate the flaws even more so when it is tightly set like you suggest. As the film title says, A River Runs Through It.
A large part of the fun of setting up and running your own publication, or any small enterprise for that matter, is the freedom it allows you to dabble in areas, which in a more formal structure, would be off-limits if you're a non-professional.
And when you're doing that, it goes without saying that the results may not be the same as what a professional would have come up with. A year down you may not agree with your own earlier choices.
In this case, Simon's apparently working with a designer who's comfortable with his interventions. So I suppose it's a good way of growing.
Have you looked at Tribute, also from Emigre. It has a similar funkiness, without some of the headache. Not a baskerville obviously, but worth a look.
How about Epic. I bought it while it was on sale and absolutely love it; although I'm waiting for a REALLY nice project to use it in; so I couldn't tell you how it sits in the page or if it's the right one for you.
Happy hunting!
P.S. Josh's suggestion of using a typeface that has not been released made my day.
FF Atma has a similar feel too - but I've never used it, don't own it, so I don't know its pitfalls.
I have Mrs. Eves and agree that it is loosey-goosey in terms of spacing. Not bad for setting small blocks of poetry.
While they don't have the same character, two fonts you might want to look at are Cycles Eleven (no bold italic, though) and Freight Text Book. Both do have character and are some of the easiest reading and beautiful fonts I own when set at 11pt and below.
Just don't overdo it on the ligatures.
Cookie Magazine in the U.S. uses Mrs Eaves for display type and a Garamond or Caslon for text. I don't have an issue in front of me, so I can't provide a sample.
Good point, David. Using historical alternates is always more irritating for the reader. Especially when that reader is me. ;^P Seriously. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Most historical alternates are not good for reading. The loops are too big or the spacing is off. Ok. Yes. I'm annoyed by them. I like to see them used for effect, but not in any sort of long read.
"Mrs. Eaves sometimes feels like Papyrus to me" (small chuckle).
Mrs Eaves (remember, no dot after Mrs) was originally one of my favorites to use, but I feel as if it has a really strong "voice." It has this very sophisticated and stodgy attitude about itself. It has such a characteristic look, that i feel it wouldn't look right next to certain images or for certain topics. I've started feeling that way about a lot of Zuzana Licko typefaces (Emigre.com). Lately I've been leaning more towards H&FJ (typography.com). I haven't used them yet, but I love the type samples for Mercury and Chronicle.
I agree with Cookie, Mrs Eaves won't cut it for a body copy -- doesn't set nicely. I wouldn't write off Storm's Baskerville, however, until you set a page in it. I find all of the Storm text faces work beautifully -- not boring at all.
What Dan said.
IMO if you start off with something you like, you have a better chance of designing a page, and a magazine, that works as a whole, over time.
I don't think the readability of faces can be considered apart from the layouts they're used in.
Perhaps it is the very "gappiness" of Mrs Eaves that some find a flaw, which can be a virtue in the hands of other designers, and in the eyes of readers.
@Chipman223: It used to be a favorite of mine as well. It's a go-to typeface for design students, because it has such an obvious "fancy & sophisticated" feel to it.
@TypoJunkie: Glad to know I brought some joy to your world. All the coolest designers are using type that doesn't even exist yet. Which means a lot of white space...
I think you may be bending over backwards a bit far there Nick.
Also Mrs eaves is looking more & more twee* to me over time. But that is just my taste...
*chiefly British : affectedly or excessively dainty, delicate, cute, or quaint
I think you may be bending over backwards a bit far there Nick.
At least I haven't recommended Oneleigh :-)
But seriously, did you ever look at Garamond or Bembo?
How in the world those don't scare the pants off readers is beyond me.
I can only assume they are blissfully oblivious of the details which typographers believe "call attention to themselves" -- or worse still, perhaps they do notice them, and actually enjoy reading text with a bit of flavour.
BTW, no way is the hefty Mrs E "twee".
Nick - I love Oneleigh and just bought it as a matter of fact. But it wouldn't work for magazine body copy. I may use it for a cookie cookbook. Wishing it had more fractions though. OSF don't make good fractions.
At least I haven't recommended Oneleigh :-)
Maybe you should - I would rather read Oneleigh than Mrs Eaves. Slightly strangely shaped letters are far better than poor spacing IMHO. Also Oneleigh has a vibe that is way more fun. But I would have to know more about what was driving this choice before etc. etc.
BTW, no way is the hefty Mrs E "twee".
Yes it is. It is twee as F***.
It's not the weight but the sentiment. That's great for some things; but magazine copy, unless it's all frilly couches and forcing bulbs and small cottages (all things I have no quarrel with BTW ) - not so much.
"BTW, no way is the hefty Mrs E 'twee'."
Eben, I believe Nick was referring to the woman, not the font...
Zuzana Licko is quoted as saying:
"I think Mrs Eaves was a mix of just enough tradition with an updated twist. It's familiar enough to be friendly, yet different enough to be interesting. Due to its relatively wide proportions, as compared with the original Baskerville, it's useful for giving presence to small amounts of text such as poetry, or for elegant headlines and for use in print ads. It makes the reader slow down a bit and contemplate the message."
I think she is right.
Eben, I believe Nick was referring to the woman, not the font...
And what makes you say that? Was she substantial? I have no idea what she was like in personality or form, but weight would not come into it.
I was talking about the typeface.
I suppose its proportions--small x-height and long extenders--might make it a bit twee, but its low contrast and lack of fussy details certainly don't.
In comparison, the recent types derived from Fleischmann, which have been used for magazine text, have quite mannered details.
But really, I don't believe that one should say "oh, such and such typeface can't be used for such and such kind of work".
Having said that, I think Ms Licko's pushing it a bit to suggest Mrs Eaves for "elegant headlines", unless they're small headlines, as it doesn't have optical scaling.
RE: Headlines That's a great point.
But really, I don't believe that one should say "oh, such and such typeface can't be used for such and such kind of work". I agree in general. There are choices that seem beyond good sense to me. I would almost certainly not set an entire novel in FF Amoeba for instance.
And moreover how a typeface strikes me is individual. It's how your audience feels ( or client's ) audience feels that will count.
All Emigre faces take real work with kerning especially larger sizes. At my site I use Tarzania Bold but it was a lot of work. I would think for a publication you wouldn't have the luxury of adjusting the kerning with your deadlines.
Yeah well that's where Quark comes in handy. For all it's maligned on this forum, Quark lets you adjust kerning pairs for each font universally. My in-house typesetter (when I was A.D. of a publishing house) used to go in and customize each font before she started. Hopefully InD will get with that program in the next upgrade.
Patty I had wondered about just that issue being new to InDesign. Thanks!
Those crazy overshoots make Mrs. Eaves twee as all-git-out. It sets some of the most crazy bouncy lines I've ever seen.
I wonder why more bands don't use it, because according to Wikipedia, it's the very definition of Indie:
I think the age of twee must be over because you only get 6 months to be 'in' now. Innit? ;-)
crazy overshoots
Surely not in print. Are you talking about on-screen hinting?
Interesting text faces used in magazines: Goudy Old Style (Harpers), Tyfa (Fast Company).

All updates featuring Chastity Belt
Some girls you just want to keep! Especially because they are not the type that want to be kept. Posh girl Natalia Forrest is locked into a tight chastity belt and collar. She is on a long leash, and she has been told she will be free (of the chastity belt and collar) if she obeys and locks herself into a very small dog cage. There is barely any room for Natalia to move around, but she manages to get herself in and lock the door. Of course, we did not tell her how long she would have to be in there… sleep well Natalia! And don't play with yourself ;-)
We received an email from Pling, a bondage loving girl you might have seen on some other websites. She was very curious (to say the least) about being locked into a chastity belt. So we invited her over for an afternoon and put her in a belt, making it very tight in the crotch area. Pling just loved every minute of it! She wanted more, so we threw a fiddle challenge at her. It is virtually impossible to escape one of those, but just seeing cute Pling struggle in her tight belt and RigidFiddle is definitely worth watching! She will be back for more extreme metal bondage, she is addicted!
We have Adrienne where we want her: on her knees, cuffed to the metal pipes, in a huge heavy collar, and chastity belted! There is nothing she can do to stop us from nipple clamping her! And that's what we are going to do! Adrienne is very sensitive, so this should be fun. Immediately after the clamps have been applied, she starts sweating and struggling to get them off. You can really see it hurts her a lot, but we are not going to take them off for a while! Enjoy!
We love to use this neck spreader on two close friends! Why? Well, as we have seen before, chastity belts aren't enough to stop intimate things from happening, girls still have mouths (and tongues!) they can use. Gagging them is a good option, but this solution is way more evil! A rigid neck spreader with two heavy locking collars brings kissing sooooo close yet so far away. Moreover, they have to cooperate on every move. If one wants to sit down, the other has to sit down too. Claudia and Nelly have very slender necks, they can even turn in their collars, but that only makes things more complicated when you are cuffed together ;-)
Remember this upper class lady? Roswell Ivory thinks she is royalty! And we happen to have the perfect custom metal gear for a true lady: the Iron Crown firmly locks wrists to the sides of the neck. It is a replica of a medieval design, very rarely seen, but it actually existed! Now this posh lady is powerless in her tall heels, trying to get out of this evil contraption. She is of course belted, so nothing can happen to her, but it seems she still wants to get out. As an afterthought, we decided to ballgag her with a huge 2 inch ball, not very lady-like, but hey… Roswell can take it!
In the meantime, Brittany was belted over at ChastityBabes.com in a very unusual belt style. High security chain style! So now it is time for some good metal bondage on this very cute blonde girl! We cuff her to the metal cross using heavy metal restraints, while her neck is locked into a huge and heavy custom metal collar (it looks superb on her). That should teach her! Well.. actually it did not teach her anything. Brittany just pleads and complains about her predicament, and she plans on doing so until we give in and release her. All this submissive talk makes her even more cute and hot!
Wow, this girl could be the new bondage discovery of the year! Nicole is the kind of girl who says: 'Just belt me from the first shoot, that looks like fun!'. Amazing! And what's more: she is fun, very flexible, and she wants to try everything we have! We actually had to slow her down a little, and make her try our classic fiddle escape first. Not that anyone ever escapes (except for Cory, of course), but it is just so much fun to watch new girls struggle around in a RigidFiddle. And a chastity belt of course, which incidentally looks AMAZING on Nicole… Geez, some girls have it all! Needless to say, Nicole will be back for more… much more!
We had this unique custom posture collar designed so it could be fitted with two different types of gags: a steel muzzle and a 'tape' gag. Browsing back, we noticed we only used this tape attachment once! That is a waste of custom gear, so we had to use it again, even though all models seem to be afraid of this device. We don't know why, maybe because it looks scary, but it is actually quite model-friendly! The models can still speak (somewhat) and there is nothing inside their mouth. The hard part is that it is attached to the posture collar, so it does not move at all, as Jenni C finds out… she can not even turn her head. Oh… and eating is impossible, that could be a problem for long time wear ;)
Our resident pet slave Ashley Bulgari decided to introduce yet another one of her hot friends to MetalBondage.com! The only problem is: Ashley has already been belted and so is not permitted to shoot without a chastity belt, which means her friend will be belted on her first shoot! That's kind of a hard introduction for poor Tea, but don't worry: the big boobed friends are having a lot of fun with our new dog cage this week! Putting each other in the cage turns both of them on, they both like the power play and the submissive role! Great to watch this duo play, hot picures and video!
The moment you have been waiting for: the super hot (but inexperienced) duo Claudia and Nelly locked in chastity belts! They did not want to do it at first, but after a little persuasion we managed to lock them in the belts and collar them in stylish slave collars. To add a little challenge, we chained their collars together in such a way that they will have to cooperate. If one of them wants to stretch and get up straight, the other girl has to bend all the way down to the floor. Let's hope they will get along for the next few hours!
Today we are introducing the lovely Tyra! She certainly has got the looks! A tiny waist and big boobs, a body you want to lock in a chastity belt (to give her that corseted feeling) and a RigidStock (to allow everyone a good view, because she keeps covering herself with her hands). But it is only her first time at MetalBondage.com… surely we are not going to do that to her? Well, we couldn't help ourselves. It is Tyra's own fault really. She is too gorgeous, and we could not wait until the next time to see her in a chastity belt. Tyra is confused, is she really expected to escape this frustrating RigidStock? It seems impossible…
Roswell Ivory is back, and there is no excuse this time: she needs to belted as per popular member request. We barely give her time to get used to the metal chastity belt, presenting her with her next assignment: to lock herself in the cage and its built-in collar. The padlocks are provided, the keys are not. Once she locks the heavy cage door and then the collar around her neck, there is no escape until we release her. But Roswell Ivory is a very tall lady, will she fit in the cage? It will definitely not be comfortable, belted, on her knees, neck locked in unforgiving metal. And then we cuff her hands out of the way… What a lovely view, we are not going to let her out for a while, that is for sure!
It has been a while since Ashley Bulgari visited us, but we managed to lure her back with an interesting dare. She is to lock herself in the Sleepless collar and make herself comfortable. Sounds easy! Of course, Ashley is belted, but she does not even notice that anymore, she is now very used to being locked in a chastity belt. Nope, the thing that concerns her more is the insane height of the Sleepless Collar, and its massive spikes. It is very heavy and very tall, so sitting up is not very comfortable. But when Ashley finds out that she can not lie down at all, she loses her temper a little and starts to complain. Well, let's keep her locked like this to see what happens!
A very popular member request today: the radiant blonde girl Jenni C locked into (her own!) chastity belt, and a chastity bra! She is also locked in a very heavy collar and a set of chain linked manacles. The belt was especially made for Jenni (the crotch piece is not adjustable, it is Jenni size), and it is very tight between her legs. The small metal bra is squashing her boobs, making sure she can not touch herself at all! Jenni C is a super slave girl, she looks like a captured princess on some kind of slave market! We would definitely buy her, who wouldn't!?
Last time we invited Davon Kim and her girlfriend Ting, they could not keep their hands (and mouths) from each other. So we locked them in chastity belts as soon as they came through the door. It didn't help. These Asian girlfriends are just so horny they try everything to get some satisfaction, even exploring the chastity belt's anal openings. So we had to take more extreme measures, locking Ting in a RigidStock and Davon Kim in a RigidFiddle. Still there was no stopping them, they just used their tongues and mouths to lick and suck each others boobs. Two shiny tight red ballgags put a stop to that, but did we stop love? Nope, these two just continued their sexual games, even trying to hump each other to get off on the belt's friction, while drooling a lot!
Marloes is getting used to the training here at MetalBondage.com. She knows she always has to wear a chastity belt, and to do the things that she is told to do. Now she is even starting to show initiative, by locking herself into the heavy steel cage. She even locks her own neck in the cage door collar! She can see no keys for these padlocks, so she is probably trusting us to let her out again at some point. But we are not satisfied yet, we lock her wrist cuffs to the top corners of the cage, so we get a clear view of those big natural boobs, leaving poor Marloes totally defenseless. For about an hour… or more… we're not sure yet ;-)
Poor Melissa!! We custom built this new metal torture bondage device quite some time ago, but until now none of our models fit into the Steel Armbinder. We need a small girl with the perfect flexibility, very thin upper arms, very small wrists, the right distance between wrists and upper arms, and the list goes on. We thought we were never going to use this device, but brave Melissa gave it a try and it worked! One of the most cruel devices we have, the position is really hard, and even painful. There is absolutely no hope for escape. Sorry Melissa, you always seem to get the extreme stuff that no one else can do!

OSLO - The international oil services provider Aker Solutions has signed a frame agreement with Shell for the delivery of subsea umbilicals and cables globally.
The size of the frame agreement is dependent on call-offs and the number of projects that Shell decides to execute. However, Aker Solutions estimates that the frame agreement could generate revenues between $200 and $400 million. Order intake will be booked whenever the specific contracts are signed.
The Enterprise Framework Agreement (EFA) with Shell is signed for the duration of five years with an option for an additional five years. Aker Solutions will deliver dynamic and static steel tube umbilicals for both shallow and deepwater applications.
The EFA has a global scope. Shell's subsea projects are primarily focused on the Norwegian continental shelf, UK, Gulf of Mexico, West-Africa and Brazil.
"We look forward to safeguard Shell's valuable assets and contribute to their production success globally. Aker Solutions has developed market-leading umbilicals technology, proven to provide the widest range of functionality. We are extremely pleased and honored by this award," says Tove Røskaft, head of Aker Solutions' umbilicals business.
The umbilicals and cables will be manufactured and delivered out of Aker Solutions' facilities in Moss, Norway and Mobile, Alabama, supported by project management, design and engineering in Fornebu, Norway and the Mobile office.
Subsea umbilicals are deployed on the seabed to supply necessary control and chemicals to subsea oil and gas wells, subsea manifolds and any subsea system requiring a remote control.
Over the past 15 years Aker Solutions has delivered more than 400 umbilicals to some of the world's most challenging fields, from harsh environment to ultra-deep, high-pressure reservoir conditions.
