As Long as It's Pink: The Sexual Politics of Taste
From the Publisher. In this book Penny Sparke argues that "taste" has been a quality assigned to women while "design" is a man-made construction that has taken aesthetic authority away from women. She uses familiar objects of our everyday environments—furniture, cars and domestic appliances and interiors—to look at how taste has become a gendered issue in our culture. Ever since the industrial revolution, the cluttered interior has been associated with femininity while the minimal forms of modernist architecture have acted as markers of a masculine aesthetic. This in turn has succeeded in trivializing and marginalizing women's material culture. Ranging across histories of domesticity, feminine consumption and home-making, as well as modern design and broader cultural theories, Penny Sparke offers a rethinking of the history of our modern material culture.
This is a fantastic book for anyone who doubts the infallibility of modernism, or who harbors a secret admiration for pop and kitsch. I am sure it is too one-sided to make for a good textbook in design schools, but I enjoyed it, learned from it, and really respect Sparke for writing it.
I am eternally indebted to Alec Bernstein from Designworks USA for turning me on to this masterpiece, along with three others on my list—An Essay on Typography, The Nude, and Poetics of Music in the Form of Six Lessons. He's a smart guy.

But I think people need to step back and maybe take a breath a little bit . . . and not make a mountain out of a power play. We want it to work well, but its not the end of the world. Were still winning hockey games.
How did that kick a$$ PP help the Bolts in game 7 of 2011?
A great PP wins you the Presidents trophy, a great PK wins you the cup.
Gimme a team that is top five in 5 on 5 scoring and top 5 in PK over a bunch of PP ****** any time.
The problem is that you never know what kind of ref'ing you're gonna get. Last couple years have been good, but with the garbage calls this year I'm afraid divers and whiners will be rewarded with countless PP opportunities. Even a great PK is sometimes bound to give up a couple of goals with 7-8 PP opportunities per game.

this nice restaurant is located, as almost all the restaurants, along calle lima, the most important street in puno, offers a quite good selection of fresh food. recommend
This was rated in Lonely Planet as a great place to go - but other than the patio, there's not much to rave about. Pizza was horrible!! Served on a soggy pita bread.
Reliably good food. Go here if you're looking for high quality classic peruvian food plus some modern twists. I had the lamb curry and it was delicious.
Smart courtyard and that is it. Food was overpriced and the quantity that you got was a joke. Afterward I went and brought some empanadas and a sausage and potato wrap from some of the street vendors. Lonely Planet says they give large portions. If you were a mouse you would starve at this place. As you can tell not...
We read about this place in the Lonely Planet and came for very late lunch / early dinner.
The restaurant has a lovely courtyard but is also very cosy inside.
Service was fast and the waiter very friendly.
We had lamb and trout and both tasted delicious! The only thing to mention is that the portions were pretty small...
We stumbled across this little cafe, looking for a place to rest our legs. It became our local for the next two days. We were happy to pop in for a refreshing beer in the sunny courtyard, for dinner, for coffee, for lunch...the chicken and Veg soup was very welcome when we couldn't face anything else. The staff were friendly...
I ate here twice while in Puno and ordered the same entre (very unlike me) each time. Lamb with garlic and parsley with a glass of vino tinto. Superb! Definitely one of the best restaurants in Peru. Consistent, warm, decent service, good food.
We came here as a group for dinner and had a reasonable dinner. It was fairly affordable too.
The service was great and very hospitable as you would expect from a family owned and run business
The food was good by Peruvian standards with most of the group enjoying wood oven pizza for the first time in 5 weeks claiming...
We came here for lunch on our own and then for dinner with our tour group. They didn't have pizza oven on for lunch so we had pasta and lamb dish. Food was average. They have good atmosphere and excellent wifi. Pisco sour wasn't as strong. Non alcoholic mint lemonade had a good kick in it. Pineapple juice was the...
Family snack break at the Tulipan's courtyard was very pleasant. It was early and not many restaurants were open, we were happy to find this place. Lattes and cappuccinos were quite good, the ice cream shakes were a bit strange (my kids were not raving about them). There is free wifi and the younger staff persons speak some English, everyone...

What You Can Expect
Continue onward to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stonehenge, one of the most famous prehistoric monuments in the world. Stonehenge is thought to date back nearly 5,000 years, and very little is known of its origins. Was it a place of pagan sun worship? Could it have been an ancient burial ground? Decide for yourself as you explore the site.
Your next stop is the pretty village of Lacock, one of the most picturesque settings in the country. Lacock dates back to Saxon times, and has been used more recently as the setting for movies and television dramas such as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and the adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Take the weight off your feet and sit down for lunch at the George, a traditional English pub built in the 14th century. On rare occasions, when the George is closed, a carefully selected alternative pub may be visited for lunch instead.
Continue to your final stop in the charming Georgian city of Bath, once home to the famous British author Jane Austen. Start the visit with a coach tour of the city, and see top Bath attractions such as Pulteney Bridge and the Royal Crescent as well as the honey-colored Georgian architecture for which the city is famed. After getting your bearings, set off on a short stroll with your guide and scout out the Roman Baths and beautiful Bath Abbey. Walk around the city's cobbled streets, shop for souvenirs and take time to pose for photos in front of the beautiful buildings.
Please note: on busy days, this tour may operate in reverse order and visit Bath first.
Customer Reviews
March 2015
In regards to the day trip visiting Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Lacock, and Bath, I can only say that my family and I were completely satisfied with the results of our adventure. Our guide, David, and our driver, Clive, go together like a Holmes and Watson, each playing off of each other. The loads of information learned and the comfort of the environment was amazing, and this tour should be taken by all who wish to learn not just about England, but the world around you as well! David is so intelligent, he makes each site come alive.
March 2015
The trip on Monday, March 16, 2015, was wonderful. We first went to Windsor Castle, then Stonehenge where it rained, Lacock where we ate at the old George Inn-delicious and then finally Bath. The tour guide, South African David was superb, informative, kind, humorous, and every possible positive adjective available. The Bus Operator Clive was an excellent, smooth driver who handled the bus superbly and safely. My daughter and I both loved all the information David supplied, as well as anecdotes, etc. He always stayed with us, and was uniformly kind to all the passengers and interacted and had us all interacting with each other. I would definitely go on a Viator tour again, would request if South African David were available. I used South African because he told us there are several Davids, and that is how to identify him. The only thing we did not have time for was to shop for souvenirs at Windsor Castle, but that is because there were so many others there as well. I cannot wait to return. So glad to have gone and enjoyed this trip. BTW, Lacock was the best hidden surprise of all! Elaine Coonan and Michelle Peeples

To date, payments have been made to those Individual, Deceased Member, and still-existing Organizational claims that were non-deficient and submitted by the Court ordered August 11, 2014 late filing deadline.

Well, Ryan Boudinot's piece in The Stranger continues to prompt discussion, which I suppose means that it's doing its job. And my own assertion that there's nothing impeding authors who don't take writing seriously as teenagers from succeeding is, shall we say, not meeting with universal acceptance. Continue reading
I Do, In Fact, Own a Crystal Ball
The internet writerly communities are currently talking about a piece in The Stranger by former MFA professor Ryan Boudinot in which he dishes out caustic observations about the general hopelessness of most MFA students. Normally, I'd ignore such a piece, but it seems to be getting traction and some of what Boudinot says I think crosses the line from being something I simply disagree with into being something that is actively harmful.

Still Looking for Charm
So, since my previous post in which I defined "charming" writing as unexpected, polished, and mutli-functional, I've been chatting with folks online and off. Trying to define "charm" in writing is elusive, and I think my concept is evolving. So let's try this again. Continue reading
What Is Charm?
So, this afternoon, as I was on my way out the door to replace the 10-year-old cargo pants that finally fell apart in the laundry, my husband looked at me and said, "Oh, Mr. English-major type, I need a definition of 'charm' for my theatre analysis class. Their textbook uses the term and gives examples of charming dialogue, but it doesn't define it."
Well, I stood there slack-jawed for a minute, stumped. How do you define something as ineffable as "charm"?
Well, here's what I came up with: Continue reading

A Guide to Open Innovation and Crowd Sourcing
Advice from Leading Experts
Reviewed by
Barry Silverstein
The social networking revolution has brought with it a related phenomenon–the active involvement of the public in commenting upon and sometimes even creating products and services. The result is a specific way of doing business known as "crowdsourcing" which, says Paul Sloane, means to offer "a challenge to a group of people that you may or may not know and solicit their ideas and solutions for your issue." Crowdsourcing is part of a larger strategic way of thinking about business called "Open Innovation," or OI.
This book is an essential guide to both Open Innovation and crowdsourcing, because it is a compilation of the best thinking by experts on both subjects. Editor Sloane has carefully selected pieces on both subjects and woven them together into a cohesive text. The book starts with in-depth definitions of Open Innovation and crowdsourcing. It then moves through over twenty individual essays that cover such topics as institutionalizing Open Innovation, understanding the leadership issues and challenges associated with Open Innovation, how to motivate crowds to participate, building a culture for Open Innovation and crowdsourcing, managing intellectual property issues, and common mistakes.
Because Open Innovation is an emerging concept, case studies of companies successfully implementing OI are essential. In this regard, Sloane's book delivers. It includes a number of relevant stories, such as the manner in which LG Electronics applies innovation, and the way in which OI was introduced at Intuit. Also included is the story of Threadless.com, a wildly successful online t-shirt company that grew exclusively by co-creating products with its customers. Threadless is one of the companies credited with starting the crowdsourcing revolution.
While Open Innovation is still in its infancy, there are professionals who have already become accomplished in the field. The reader will find pieces in A Guide to Open Innovation and Crowdsourcing from "the father of Open Innovation," Henry Chesbrough, as well as leading consultants and practitioners. Among the companies and institutions represented in the book are Accenture, the Innovation Management Institute, Intuit, Kraft Foods, LG Electronics, MIT, Nokia, University of California-Berkeley, and Unilever.
A Guide to Open Innovation and Crowdsourcing has a good mix of theoretical and practical material, so there is likely to be something of value for everyone, regardless of one's specific interest or responsibility. Importantly, the book also offers a few entries that address the future of Open Innovation, suggesting that integration and commercialization will be critical to its success. Sloane's recommended reading and references will be helpful to those individuals who want to delve further into OI.

For Jont1-Question about fungicides
Hi Jont1 or anyone,
What fungicides are you using on your roses with crosses for Blackspot and other diseases? Are you using any fertilizers? Thank for any and all advice.
I use a combination of mancozeb and funginex every 2 weeks for fungus control of BS and PM. I have some downy mildew this year and am using Alliete powder by itself mixed with water to spray for that.
If/when I have spider mites I spray the pheromone Stirrup-M combined with Avid or Kelthane to rid me of these pests.
To fertilize,I spread Mill's Magic Mix every 2 months and a granular like Shake-N-Feed or Osmocote. I ususally add epsom salts to the MMM as well. I spray Miracle-Gro combined with Fish Emulsion and an Iron Supplement every 2 weeks. I find the iron is especially important for potted plants. Finally, I spray Messenger once per month to promote vigorous growth and support disease resistance.

Scoppe: Wilson v Harrell — or is that Harrell v Wilson?
'UNPRECEDENTED" has become a far-too-familiar descriptor of the intersection of South Carolina's statewide elected officials and criminal law.
There was that unprecedented indictment and conviction of a state constitutional officer (Charlie Sharpe, federal corruption charges), which was followed by a second one of each (Thomas Ravenel, federal drug charges).
Then we had that unprecedented ethics fine against a governor (Mark Sanford), followed by an unprecedented decision by the attorney general to review, and agonize over, possible criminal charges against said governor. And then there was the by-now-precedented ethics fine against another statewide official, followed by the also-precedented referral of the matter to the attorney general, which became unprecedented when Lt. Gov. Ken Ard's case was turned over to the State Grand Jury, which unprecedentedly indicted him. And he unprecedentedly resigned and pleaded guilty.
And now we have Bobby Harrell, whose investigation by the State Grand Jury is unprecedented not because he's a statewide elected official but because he holds a much more powerful position: speaker of the House.
Mr. Harrell is being investigated for at least one of several ethics charges that have been swirling around him for more than a year, likely the allegation that he converted campaign funds to personal use, reimbursing himself for flights across the state and up and down the east coast on his single-engine Cirrus SR22.
Unlike the lieutenant governor, who presides over the Senate, the speaker doesn't just wear a purple robe, call the House to order and decide who gets to speak. He decides which committees House members serve on, and signs off on their expense reimbursements. He controls the House's "personnel, administration and management of facilities," including employee salaries. He's even empowered to decide which members of the press are allowed on the House floor.
The speaker appoints members of conference committees, which make or break most important legislation. That means that if the Senate manages to pass an ethics bill this year, he will decide which House members shape its final form — or allow it to die.
One duty of the speaker used to be to suspend House members who were indicted on felony charges. But those suspensions became automatic after then-U.S. Attorney Bart Daniel, who is now Mr. Harrell's defense attorney, brought criminal corruption charges against 14 House members and two senators.
Also unlike the lieutenant governor, the speaker is elected by the body over which he presides, which means he has tremendous support when he comes into office — and that support only grows once he assumes the powers of the office. It is, therefore, rare that the speaker's top priorities fail, or that the Legislature does things he adamantly opposes.
Which brings us to the curious attack that Mr. Harrell has decided to launch against Attorney General Alan Wilson. Essentially, Mr. Harrell charges that the attorney general asked the State Grand Jury to investigate him as part of a politically motivated witch hunt.
At an 11 a.m. news conference Tuesday that began at 11:07 and ended abruptly at 11:15 when reporters kept asking him why he wouldn't release detailed records about his travel expenses, Mr. Harrell spoke of a "blatant smear campaign" that had been allowed to continue for too long. He said he believed Mr. Wilson's announcement the day before the 2014 legislative session opened "was intended to inflict political damage on me."
When he repeated the charge, from his Monday news release, that the attorney general's office notified the media of its action before notifying his attorney, a reporter noted that Mr. Wilson's office had directly denied that claim. "A reporter called me before I talked to my attorney," he replied, as if that was the same thing. Which of course it's not. No one had a chance to ask about his own attorney's pointed refusal to clear up the earlier discrepancy, telling The Charleston City Paper that it was up to the media to play referee between the claims of his client and the attorney general's office. Which is sort of breathtaking.
Mr. Harrell insisted again that he had been assured repeatedly by the attorney general's office that there was nothing to worry about. He wasn't challenged on that either, but I'm assured that the attorney general's office is baffled by that claim, insisting that no one has even discussed the case with him, much less given him any sort of assurances.
And then there's Mr. Harrell's demand that Mr. Wilson release the SLED report of its 10-month investigation, which he only repeated when reporters told him that the attorney general's office said state law prohibited its release now that the case has been referred to the Grand Jury.
Several pundits described that as a gutsy move that demonstrates Mr. Harrell's confidence in his innocence. Certainly it's designed to give that impression. But it is inconceivable that his attorney hasn't told him that every attorney general since the inception of the State Grand Jury has interpreted the law to mean nothing of substance can be discussed, much less released to the public, once an investigation has been authorized.
Which is to say that he is repeating his demand knowing full well that it will not be met, that the report will not be released, that none of us will know, until the Grand Jury either indicts him or doesn't indict him, whether the report demonstrates innocence or guilt. At which point the point will be sort of moot.
Mr. Harrell is of course presumed innocent until proven guilty, and indeed, he hasn't even been charged with a crime. And he may not be. It's reasonable to believe that Mr. Wilson does not have sufficient evidence to indict him.
But it's also reasonable to believe that Mr. Wilson, and SLED Chief Mark Keel, and the professional prosecutors in Mr. Wilson's office, believe that the evidence they have — and don't have — points to a serious crime. They could be wrong. But you can be sure that they believe there's more here than smoke. (Little known fact: Although you can go to prison for lying to the Grand Jury, it's not a crime to lie to a SLED agent.)
Which brings us back to that idea that this is a witch hunt, driven by some sort of political vendetta Mr. Wilson has against Mr. Harrell.
For months, ever since Mr. Wilson asked SLED to review the allegations, I've been told that the attorney general and his staff desperately wanted to be able to conclude that there was nothing here to pursue.
Because, let's be honest: Alan Wilson isn't Charlie Condon or (pre-call girl) Eliot Spitzer or, God forbid, Dick Harpootlian — a crusading prosecutor looking to make headlines and take out high-profile targets. And absent that personality type, no rookie attorney general wants to go after one of the most powerful officials in his own political party. From the same faction (mainstream) of his own political party.
And let's be even more honest, and think back to all that power the speaker has: If you're someone who needs to get a budget passed and an agenda enacted in order to have something to show for yourself when you run for re-election — that is, someone who depends upon the good graces of the Legislature — you'd have to be certifiable to take a gratuitous swipe at the speaker.
As Ralph Waldo Emerson warned: "When you strike at a king you must kill him."

The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.

How could anyone not like something so cute? He has got the sneezes.
I thought his head was going to spin around.
WTF was that
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

HouseMaster Home Inspections
Our main areas of concern was the slab and the attic. Our inspector spent a great bit of time in the attic in the middle of summer's heat making sure that everything was in good shape. Then another 30 minutes checking the slab and outside of the house!! He was amazing!
House Masters inspector Joe Askew came out to our house and was VERY professional. We had just inherited the house and was in a position to where we needed to figure out if we should pursue with remodeling or tear down. Joe came out and inspected everything. I've never had someone as thorough or particular about everything. I have no doubt that I can remodel now thanks to him. I appreciate everything he has done and will definitely use Housemasters Beaumont in the future! Thanks so much Joe Askew!!!

Date — 16 August, 2011
Schaffhausen/Corridonia, August 2011 – Masters of their respective crafts, the Swiss watchmaking company IWC Schaffhausen and the Italian high-end shoe manufacturer Santoni stand for unique products of the highest quality. So why not team up? Already their partnership has resulted in straps manu factured by hand exclusively for IWC Schaffhausen.
"The values we share with Santoni form an ideal basis for working in partnership," explains Georges Kern, CEO of IWC Schaffhausen. "We are particularly pleased that the extravagant Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days from IWC is firmly held by these high-quality leather straps from Santoni." The flagship of the latest generation of the Portofino watch family was unveiled to the public at this year's SIHH watch show in Geneva. The appeal of the Portofino Hand- Wound Eight Days lies in its understated elegance, timeless beauty and precision craftsmanship. The exquisite designs from the renowned top-quality shoe manufacturer Santoni share the watch's defining attributes. Fine Italian straps have been developed for fine watches – the unique product of a thoroughly successful cooperation. Giuseppe Santoni shares this conviction. He is the second generation to manage the company, and is also a long-standing fan and collector of IWC watches. "IWC Schaffhausen has proved an ideal partner for us, sharing our philosophy of excellence, perfection such as meticulous attention to detail, and our love of craftsmanship and beauty."
All variants of the Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days are held by Santoni straps made exclusively for IWC Schaffhausen. They are available in two different shades of brown, as well as in black. Santoni processes the leather to have an exclusive patina before it even leaves the factory. In addition to this characteristic dyeing process, the exquisite straps are also recognisable from the orange-coloured leather lining, typical of Santoni. Furthermore, they come complete with pin clasps as standard; folding clasps are avail – able as an option.
Two companies combine highest expertise with first-class quality
IWC Schaffhausen and Santoni announced their cooperation at the beginning of 2011.
They plan to work together on various projects over a fiveyear period. To mark the start, Santoni is producing exclusive leather straps for the Portofino Hand-Wound Eight Days from IWC Schaffhausen.

I'll be arriving in Lille by car on a Saturday morning and staying at the very centre (Parvis St Maurice). I'd like to park the car until Sunday morning as we won't need it to visit the town centre.
The hotel charge a lot for parking. Can anyone suggest a safe and cheap or free place to park, even if I hace to go a bit out of the centre (as long as it's close to a tram station)?
J'arrive sur Lille en voiture un samedi matin et n'utiliserais pas la voiture avant le dimanche matin. L'hotel en plein centre (parvis St Maurice) propose un parking assez cher. Avez vous des suggestions d'endroits pour garer la voiture qui ne craignent pas trop et qui soit gratuits ou peu chers?

The League of Women Voters of Florida is a non-partisan expert resource available to help explain the Amendments to voters.
With six complex ballot amendments this year, along with some highly contested candidate races with national implications, it is imperative that Floridians understand their votes will have a major impact on our state's future.
The League has released its Pro/Con Guide on the Amendments to help inform and educate voters. Included in the Guide is the number of the Amendment, the exact language on the ballot, the Amendment sponsor(s), background information on the issue, and the list of pro's and con's of voting for or against it.
Deirdre Macnab, President of the League of Women Voters of Florida, says, "We provide this guide, as we do every election, to help with voter education of these complicated, yet important issues. It is part of our campaign 'Making Democracy Easy' and helping citizens cast an informed vote."
This guide reflects the most recent updates to the ballot after the Florida Supreme Court struck down Amendments 3, 7 and 9.
The guide is available at the League's website at http://www.thefloridavoter.org/
