Paul Rudd as Bobby Newport certainly didn't disappoint last night, huh? "My dad was friends with John Cougar Mellencamp! It's pretty cool." Really though, how could it have?
All things Archer have thoroughly -- and pleasantly -- occupied my week, but I can't help but feel like I've been neglecting my non-existent duty to bring up Parks and Recreation multiple times a day. Especially when the show collided with its movie star equivalent last night in what should go down as the most likable merger since Nutella was introduced to french toast.
So despite Paul Rudd being around for at least three more episodes, I'm prepared to pay tribute to the world's most likable celebrity playing the dim-witted Sweetums heir/VP of Nougat/Pawnee city council candidate on the world's most likable show. I reconciled myself with prematurity long ago. "It's been a cam-pleasure."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Sunday denounced last year's bipartisan debt-ceiling deal that helped avert an unprecedented U.S. government debt default even though one of its backers was his running mate, Paul Ryan.
Without mentioning Ryan by name, Romney called the agreement between the White House and top congressional Republicans "a big mistake," citing potential big defense spending cuts that could come as part of the deal.
Lawmakers reached an 11th-hour deal in August 2011 after a huge showdown, agreeing on nearly $1 trillion in federal spending cuts over 10 years with the promise to impose another $1.2 trillion to reduce budget deficits. The deal was coupled with an increase in the Treasury Department's borrowing authority, as it had bumped up against a legal limit.
As head of the House of Representatives Budget Committee, Ryan backed last year's deal.
"I thought it was a mistake on the part of the White House to propose it (and) I think it was a mistake for Republicans to go along with it," Romney said of the deal.
"I want to maintain defense spending at the current level of the GDP," Romney told NBC's "Meet the Press" in a pre-recorded interview that aired on Sunday. "This sequestration idea of the White House, which is cutting our defense, I think is an extraordinary miscalculation."
Unless an agreement is reached by year's end to implement the same amount in deficit reduction, automatic spending cuts – known as "sequestration" – of $1.2 trillion over 10 years, with a big portion in defense spending, would begin January 2.
So far, Democrats and Republicans have been unable to do so, amid warnings that the possible automatic spending cuts could help push the nation back into a recession.
Ryan, appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," said he supported the 2011 deal in a bid to find needed "common ground" with Obama and other Democrats. Ryan said Republicans have since proposed ways to reduce "wasteful Washington spending" and avert $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts.
Ryan said that "President Obama has done nothing" to help reach an agreement to reduce spending while also protecting the economy. The sluggish U.S. economy is the central issue ahead of the November 6 elections.
Obama, in a pre-recorded interview aired on Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," said, "I'm more than happy to work with Republicans" to cut such a deal.
But he repeated his insistence that deficit reduction include revenue increases as well as spending cuts. "We can make sure that we cut two-and-a-half dollars for every dollar of increased revenue," Obama said. Republicans have opposed any increased revenue from tax hikes, helping create a stalemate.
Romney and Ryan blasted Obama for failing to meet a deadline last week, set by a new law, to explain how he would begin implementing the automatic cuts.
"He has violated the law that he, in fact, signed," Romney said. "The American people need to understand how it is that our defense is going to be so badly cut."
Ryan, appearing on ABC's "This Week" program, denied that Romney's proposal to cut taxes and eliminate yet-to-be-identified tax loopholes amounts to a "secret plan."
"No, no, no, no. What we don't want is a secret plan," Ryan said, explaining that the details are not being kept under cover but instead have not yet been worked out. "The best way to do this is to show the framework, show the outlines of these plans, and then to work with Congress to do this," Ryan added.
Ryan suggested that eliminating tax loopholes would hit higher income people harder.
Former President Bill Clinton told last week's Democratic presidential convention that Romney's plan to reduce taxes by $5 trillion would require the government to cut programs that benefit middle-class families and poor children.
"Those claims have been pretty discredited," Ryan said, pointing to analyses he said show the tax plan would work.
"We think the secret to economic growth is lower tax rates for families and successful small businesses by plugging loopholes," Ryan said.
In his "Meet the Press" interview, Romney followed up on Ryan's comments on Friday that another round of monetary stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve would be a bad idea. Romney also forecast high inflation "down the road."
"Well, I don't think that easing monetary policy is going to make a significant difference in the job market right now. I think what the nation needs is a change in fiscal policy, a different structure to our economic positions," Romney said.
The comments by Romney and Ryan come ahead of the Fed's September 12-13 meeting at which some economists think the policymakers will unveil another round of bond buying to prop up the country's weak economic recovery.
"And of course the stock market does well in part because the indication by the Fed that they're going to print more money, pour more money into the system, says we're likely to have, down the road, high inflation," Romney said.
"And where else are you going to go? If interest rates are going to be near zero, investors have to go somewhere to protect against inflation. And the stock market's the only place to go," Romney added.
Romney already has said he would not reappoint Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to a third term. Bernanke's second four-year term as chairman at the Fed ends January 31, 2014.

Giants get second crack at Padres' Despaigne
Rookie befuddled San Francisco hitters in Major League debut
Before facing San Diego rookie Odrisamer Despaigne in his Major League debut last month, the Giants didn't know what they'd see. Three hours later, they didn't know what they hadn't seen from Despaigne.
"At this point in the year, we've seen practically everything. But he was just on," right fielder Hunter Pence said after seven scoreless innings from Despaigne. "He was locating [well], he had the ball moving in a lot of different directions, he had a lot of different pitches. He threw me pretty much everything. I saw an extremely slow curveball, I saw a slider, I saw a cutter, I saw a sinker, I saw a sidearm sinker. He didn't really leave too much over the plate."
Despaigne, a 27-year-old Cuban who signed a Minor League deal in May, threw seven scoreless innings against the Giants in his big league debut June 23. Six days later, he allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings in a win over the D-backs.
Yes, the sample size is small, but Despaigne -- no ordinary rookie based on his international resume -- has found success with a dizzying array of pitches, grips and arm angles. He's offering teammates, coaches and fans a look not often found around the game.
"He's so unique," said Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley of Despaigne, who has patterned a lot of what he does after idol and fellow countryman Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez.
What he's done, so far, is flummox the opposition.
"We didn't know what kind of pitcher he was," said Giants center fielder Gregor Blanco, who went 1-for-3 off Despaigne. "We didn't know how his screwball or his changeup were. We didn't even know he had a cutter until the first time I faced the guy. We got to give him credit. He kept us a step off balance and located his pitches."
Perhaps the not-so-long-ago experience with facing Despaigne will prove beneficial for the Giants in their second go-around with him Saturday. He's facing them at a good time, though, as the Giants' offense has struggled mightily in the last month.
Attempting to quell the Padres' offense will be Tim Hudson, who's been the Giants' Mr. Reliable this season, though he's lost his last three starts.
Padres: About that Ross shutout
Tyson Ross' first shutout Wednesday against the Reds was the second by a Padres pitcher this season, as Andrew Cashner went the distance without allowing a run -- and just one hit -- April 11 against the Tigers.
As for Ross, he became the fifth pitcher in franchise history to throw a shutout during which he struck out nine or more and walked none. Kevin Jarvis was the last Padres pitcher to accomplish this feat (April 26, 2001). The other Padres pitchers to do so are Eric Show, Tim Lollar and Clay Kirby.
However, Ross did become the first pitcher in club history to throw a shutout, allow three or fewer hits, strike out nine or more and walk none. Ross finished with a season-high 120 pitches, but manager Bud Black had no qualms about letting him finish this one.
"I think today was a game where I think he really smelled the finish line," said Black. "We've talked about that, Tyson and I, that there was going to come a time for this game. We talked just briefly after the eighth and there was no doubt in my mind that he was going to go back out there and put a zero up."
Giants: Hudson takes the mound
With the Giants' offense struggling, it's a good time for Hudson to make his next start.
He has the Majors' 10th-lowest ERA (2.59) and has thrown at least seven innings in 11 of his 15 starts. The Giants are 10-5 in those 15 starts, but they've lost each of his last three outings.
The last defeat wasn't his fault, though. Hudson allowed just two earned runs on five hits on eight innings against the Reds. He was shelled for 11 runs in his prior two starts, but had given up four or more runs in a start just once in his first 13 outings.
Hudson is 1-2 with a 3.38 ERA in 21 1/3 innings during three career starts against the Padres.
Worth noting
• Before being called up to the Majors, Despaigne posted a 1-3 record and 6.03 ERA in seven Double-A and Triple-A appearances since he joined the Padres organization in early May.
• Saturday is the second of a three-game series. The Giants have lost six of their last seven series.

The directions say to leave on for 25 min. which did not change the hair color at all. I used 2 packs on my shoulder length hair so saturation was not a problem. I left the product on for 55 minutes and only then was the gray hair effected. Will not buy again.

CyndiHairAuburnDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGood For My HairAfter many years of using store bought permanent hair color. My hair was in such terrible shape, ends breaking off more than an inch and my hair wouldn't hold the color any more. After all my research on what to do to help my hair, but still wanting to color it. I found umberto Italian Demi Color. I was nervous at first on using it. i found out that this product was easy to use. The only thing is the box tells you that all you need to do is just open the product and squeeze into your hair. Noooo.. you really need to take all the packets and mix them first. the one nice thing that was included in the packet was gloves and a brush to apply the hair color. I did the appropriate time washed it out. I noticed after I did my usual conditioning my hair wasn't dry, like it normally is after i colored my hair. I am also surprised how long it lasts in my hair after washing it many times. I am so happy that i finally found something that treats my hair with love. I will continue to use this..posted Sep 25, 2012Link to this post

I'd never used any sort of color on my hair but was badgered into it by some of my co-workers. I chose this one because it was ammonia-free (no awful smell) and the separate, pre-measured packets were so convenient and neat (I tried a root touch-up product and ended up flinging black all over the bathroom somehow!). I've been amazed at the longevity of the color (there's been NO fading ever, and I only reapply when my WHITE roots grow out); the texture of my hair has been very good.

Green Mountain College students and its oxen team mow a field on the college farm in summer 2008. / File photo
MONTPELIER — Officials with the Vermont college that was targeted by animal-rights activists regarding its decision to slaughter two oxen told a legislative committee that resources are needed for farms and other businesses to deal with potential online threats from activists.
Green Mountain College officials and students testified Tuesday before the House Agriculture Committee about the ordeal that ensued this fall after the school decided in a public forum to slaughter two retired oxen from the colleges farm and use the meat in its dining hall.
The uproar began after VINE Sanctuary, based in Springfield in southern Vermont, offered a home for the animals and urged followers to contact Green Mountain College officials and ask them to reconsider their decision. VINE stands for Veganism is the Next Evolution.
Critics signed online petitions, other groups got involved, and followers sent millions of emails from around the world some threatening and vitriolic to try to spare the animals, school officials said, displaying some of the messages to the committee. Groups opposed to the schools decision put it under surveillance, with photos of the campus and video appearing online, officials said.
Slaughterhouses in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire were threatened, preventing the small liberal arts college from finding a place to butcher them, the school said.
Students felt threatened. I felt threatened, said Philip Ackerman-Leist, head of the schools Farm and Food Project.
He has proposed setting up a rapid response team that includes a respected veterinarian, a social media expert, a lawyer and representatives from nonprofit groups to help others colleges, farms or businesses if they come under such an attack.
We needed support. We needed help from other organizations, said Ackerman-Leist, who said the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and Agriculture Secretary Chuck Ross were a big help.
VINEs coordinator has said the effort took off far beyond what the group expected, and the group itself has been threatened, but it has never endorsed violent language.
The college eventually euthanized the injured ox and decided to keep the other ox at the farm.
Baylee Drown, the assistant manager of the colleges farm, asked legislators Tuesday to consider some sort of recourse for the businesses that are interrupted by the activities of activists.
I want to encourage you to make some sort of an avenue for us to defend ourselves so that we do not feel powerless, and possibly a task force would be wonderful so theres some sort of response, she said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. � Two lucky ticket holders � one in Arizona and another in Missouri � are waking up Thursday to new lives as multimillionaires after the largest Powerball jackpot drawing ever.
Powerball officials said two tickets matched all six numbers to win the record $587.5 million jackpot. The numbers drawn for Wednesday night, for the second-highest jackpot in U.S. lottery history, are 5, 16, 22, 23, 29. The Powerball is 6.
It was not clear whether the winning tickets belonged to individuals or were purchased by groups.
One of the winning tickets was sold at a Trex Mart convenience store in Dearborn, Mo., about 35 miles north of Kansas City, the state lottery commission said in a news release.
Earlier Thursday, Missouri Lottery spokesman Gary Gonder said he was on his way to that store to assist with the expected onslaught of media attention. That store will be awarded $50,000 for selling the winning ticket.
�I guess we'll be able to give out Christmas bonuses,� said Trex Mart General Manager Kenny Gilbert. �That's nice, especially at this time of year.�
It did not appear Wednesday's big winner had yet come forward.
�If you buy Powerball tickets at this location, please find them and check them closely,� said May Scheve Reardon, executive director of the Missouri Lottery. �If you find you're holding the winning ticket, be sure you sign the back and put it in a safe place until you can take it to a Missouri Lottery office. You will also want to get some legal and financial advice before you claim.�
The winner has 180 days to claim their share in the prize money.
Arizona lottery officials said early Thursday they had no information on the Grand Canyon State's winner or winners, but they planned to announce Thursday morning where the ticket was sold.
Americans went on a ticket-buying spree in the run-up to Wednesday's drawing, the big money enticing many people who rarely, if ever, play the lottery to purchase a shot at the second-largest payout in U.S. history.
Tickets sold at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide � about six times the volume from a week ago. That pushed the jackpot even higher, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association. The jackpot rolled over 16 consecutive times without a winner.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neumauer said the jackpot was estimated at $587.5 million by early Thursday, adjusted slightly upward from the $579.9 million estimate at the time of the drawing. The cash payout was $384.7 million.
In a Mega Millions drawing in March, three ticket buyers shared a $656 million jackpot. This remains the largest lottery payout of all time.

Hospital for sale: Directors formalize their surplus declaration
Alicia Knadler
Indian Valley Editor
June 15, 2011 – Directors of the Indian Valley Health Care District officially declared the hospital and business office parcels as surplus property Monday, June 6, though neither parcel has been officially modified to exclude the helipad they were concerned about keeping.
Instead, the helipad will remain a negotiating point if and when interested buyers come forward.
Directors hired Ralph Koehne Engineering to help delineate a third parcel, one that includes the heliport and a portion of both properties.
The proposed changes include an easement across the road and parking lots and a large enough parcel for an additional helipad for emergency situations when more than one helicopter is needed.
Hopes are that the sale of surplus property will bring in about $750,000, the amount needed to clean up the remaining bankruptcy debt.
Directors must first offer the property to other public entities, such as special districts, county, state and federal agencies and others.
After 60 days it can then be put up for a public sale if none of the public entities are interested.
District Chairman Guy McNett was sure directors would know by the end of August if any public entities were interested.
He expects directors will have to conduct special meetings this summer to cover such issues as determining fair market value.
In resolving to declare the properties surplus, directors also stipulate that any redevelopment needs to be consistent with permissible land uses.
The hospital property is zoned as multiple residential, and several uses are permissible, though a special-use permit is required for some.
Dwelling units and manufactured homes are permissible at one per every 2,000 square-feet of lot area, and the total lot area of the hospital parcel is just less than 2.5 acres.
Other uses which would require a permit are child day care, residential drug and alcohol recovery facilities, community care, home businesses, offices, lodging, rooming, public assembly and services, health services, schools, bed and breakfast inns, 4-H and FFA animal projects and parking lots.
Barring any special meetings, the next regular meeting of the Indian Valley Health Care District will be 5:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12, at the Indian Valley Community Center in Greenville.
The center is located at 209 Highway 89, across from Sierra Sunrise Coffee House and Deli.

This is my heaper one and it had second tablet and it is absolutely wonderful. I had a cheaper one and it had MAJOR battery problems. Even after being plugged in for three days it wouldn't get past 14%. This one has an EXECLLENT battery life even when I haven't had it plugged in for days after using it. The screen size is perfect and I think it is very fast concerning the internet. All the apps are great too with a lot of free ones. So I would recommend this, and have for that matter, to friends and family because it is totally worth it in my opinion.
I love my Acer ICONIA tablet. It has all the capabilities I need and is comparable to a more expensive tablet. The screen at 10.1" is perfect for watching movies, playing games, reading, browsing, etc. The only drawback is the weight, it's a bit heavy for a tablet but since I bought a cover that has a stand, the weight is not much of an issue. I just let it rest of my lap or use the stand. This tablet is really a bargain for all that it does! I highly recommend.
Very satisfied with this product. Had trouble getting the WIFI to work at first, but got excellent help from customer service chat. Has been functioning very well, but still learning how it fully operates..
Still learning things about this. Very satisfied.
I love my tablet only thing is I don't like where I can't use the camera on front and back.
Love my Acer- it does everything that I need a tablet to do and it was very reasonable
Does almost everything my pc does. Use it much more than my pc.
I rate it as this as to what I was looking for in a tablet. It has good apps but I failed to read (and researched) the camera. The front facing camera without the back camera was a disappointing factor plus the color is not sufficient. If a person is looking for less than what I am than I would recommend it. My sister was satisfied with it so I did not return the item; otherwise I would have done a turn-around return.

"Rich, lush, sensual historical fantasy"
It's no secret that I absolutely adore Ellen Kushner's "Riverside" series, and "The Fall of the Kings" is perhaps the deepest and richest of the three. Co-written with Delia Sherman, "The Fall of the Kings" depicts the fine lines between history and legend, science and magic, obsession and love.
Theron Campion, elegant young nobleman-about-town, has recovered from his unhappy love affair with a scandalous artist, and is ready to indulge in a new romance with the idealistic young magister of history, Basil St Cloud. But St Cloud has an obsession of his own: the study of the ancient kings, their wizards, and their magic. But such a study is forbidden in the City, and Basil and Theron's passionate affair has dangerous ramifications neither could imagine.
The story in itself is glorious – I've never wanted so desperately to visit the City as I do now that the University district has come alive in such richness and vivid detail. As often as I've read and reread the Riverside books, it's always a treat to hear Ellen Kushner reading them! She knows just where to put the emphasis, and her narration is alternately gentle, amused, dreamlike, and sensual. (The romance here is between two men, so if that is something that might bother you, be forewarned.)
Ms Kushner has described the aesthetics of the "illumination" as, "You're listening to me read you the story, and then you start to dream it, that it's come to life...", and that's a perfect description. Nick Sullivan, whom I loved to hate as the villain in the other "Riverside" books ("Swordspoint" and "The Privilege of the Sword") is eminently swoonworthy as the idealistic Basil St Cloud, while Ryan McCabe conveys Theron's peculiarly innocent qualitities perfectly. The Student's Ensemble made me laugh out loud – they got it so very right! And Nate Tronerud's fabulous music adds so much depth and color to the tapestry. I think this has got to be my favorite of his three "Riverside" scores.
Listening to this audiobook was like a happy dream, but one which I'll get to enjoy over and over. Thank you, Ellen and Delia, for writing this book, and thank you, Neil Gaiman, for adding it to your Audible series! It will be a joy for years to come.
"Breathtaking tension, fabulous narration"
As you've probably noticed, I'm not very good at giving summaries of the books I read – that's what the Goodreads link is for. So my reviews are mostly about how the story engaged me intellectually and/or emotionally. I feel like I've been talking about the book for ages now, but I can't even begin to articulate how much I loved it. Of course a very big part of that was the narration, which was absolutely superb. When I've listened to audiobooks before, I've been familiar with the story, so my prior experience was more like enjoying a performance, rather than actually engaging with the story. For "The Scorpio Races", I had no idea beyond the bare bones – "Water-horses race, people die" – and so every nuance, every emotion was derived from what I was hearing.
It's a story full of almost unbearable tension – the tension of the upcoming Scorpio Race, where each day leading up the race, horses and riders die, and others will most certainly die during the race itself; the tension of the main characters, Sean and Kate, and the desperation of their hardscrabble lives; the relationship between Sean and Corr, the deadly water-horse he rides; the almost unbearable tension of Sean and Kate's romance-that-is -not-a-romance. I mentioned last week that I felt it was dragging, but then I realized that that was actually an element of the slow-build towards the climax, the race itself and its aftermath. I got to the point where I actually devoted three hours to finish listening to the book – I simply could not bear to wait any longer.
It's not a retelling of Celtic mythology, though its origins are there. It's a story of elementals – fiery Kate, Sean (and Corr) as Water, Kate's fae-like younger brother Finn as Air, and the island setting, Thisby, as Earth. There's also a strong sense of Sean and Kate as deities, fated to meet and mate. Their scenes together (each told in first-person) bear all the confusion of two young people who are not quite socially adept, but instinctively understand the depths of each other's hearts.
I'm particularly glad, too, that this story was self-contained, and not part of a trilogy – I don't know that I could have borne to wait for a resolution! Though I would dearly love, and look forward to, more of Sean and Kate, Corr and Finn and Thisby.
(To be honest, I don't know if simply reading the book would have had the same impact. I checked it out from my library as a downloadable audiobook. (Oh brave new world! To have such technology in it!) and knew well before I finished it that I wanted it, but the Audible price for non-members was daunting. Fortunately, it was available for the Kindle at a very reasonable price, with the Whisper-Sync available. I knew of Whisper-sync, but hadn't ever tried it. How it works is, after you buy the Kindle edition, the Audible edition is available at a greatly reduced price. So I have both a printed (which will be invaluable come Yuletide) and the audio edition. If this technology is available to you, I highly recommend it! )
"Austen-esque tale (with swordfights!)"
Ellen Kushner's "The Privilege of the Sword", an Austen-esque tale spiced with romance (and swordfights!) is a delight from start to finish.
Artemisia, a gently-reared young lady of the nobility, discovers to her shock that the process of Growing Up actually equates to "being marketed as a valuble commodity", and that she herself has no real say over the consummation of the deal. Katherine, fresh from the country, looks forward to a conventional coming-out, as befits her family's rank; however, her guardian in the City is the definitely un-conventional Mad Duke Tremontaine, and he has very different plans for her. In desperate straits, Mia finds in Katherine a lifeline, while Katherine views Mia's circumstances with horror, and finds herself feeling more than a little gratitude to her uncle for making sure she doesn't suffer similar circumstances.
Woven all around this is Kushner's rich tapestry of Riverside and the Hill, the Mad Duke Tremontaine and his outrageous antics, a delightful cast of supporting characters (Lord Michael Godwin and his lady, Rosamund, are a particular delight), and of course, Tremontaine's love for the swordsman St Vier at the heart of it all.
If you are a fan of Ellen Kushner's books, you already know all that! So let me speak now specifically about the audiobook version.
The presentation as an "illuminated audiobook" is a delight from beginning to end. Ellen Kushner as Katherine's first-person narrator, and Barbara Rosenblat as the Narrator, are perfectly droll. Felicia Day's Katherine is as fresh and vibrant as any fifteen-year-old you might know. Katherine Kellgren reads a variety of female parts, each of them distinct and amusing, while Nick Sullivan, who we loved to hate as Lord Ferris in the "Swordspoint" audiobook, reprises that role here, even more wonderfully despicable. Joe Hurley's Tremontaine is deliciously decadent-sounding. (If you're a TPOTS fan, and you're wondering, Ellen Kushner narrates the well-loved "Highcombe" scene. It's heartrending.)
A particularly enjoyable aspect of the "illuminated audiobook" is Nate Tronerud's original soundtrack music (which also incorporates some of his well-loved themes from the "Swordspoint" audiobook. Although we only get to hear bits and pieces, each theme is unique and memorable, perfectly highlighting character and mood.
"Bordertown Lives! now in stunning audio form"
I came late to the Bordertown books, discovering them as an adult, but once I did I collected them assiduously on Amazon and eBay and devoured them greedily. I was delighted when I learned that there would a new collection, and that Ellen Kushner, my favorite writer, would be one of the editors.
The Bordertown series was the first of the "Urban Fantasy" genre, set in a world very close to our own contemporary world, rather than faux-medieval-Earth or some other planet entirely. So the issues of gang violence, racism, and political and economic inequalities, are just as real in this world as they are in ours, and present in a way that are very relevant to young readers (as well as older ones).
The premise is that Bordertown has been closed off from the world, for thirteen years in world time, but only thirteen days in Bordertown. This plays into a number of stories, most significantly the opening, "Welcome to Bordertown", by Ellen Kushner and Teri Windling. In this story, a little boy waits thirteen years to grow up and journey to Bordertown in search of his sister. When he is reunited with her, they have both made surprising discoveries about themselves.
I liked most everything in this anthology, but I loved "A Tangle of Green Men" by Charles de Lint, "Incunabulum", by Emma Bull, and particularly "We Do Not Come in Peace" by Christopher Barzak.
The performances of the narrators Cassandra Campbell, MacLeod Andrews, and Ellen Kushner, are particularly noteworthy. Kushner's reading of "Soulja Grrrl: A Long Line Rap" by Jane Yolen made me howl with laughter. Andrews' interpretation of the narrator, Marius of "We Do Not Come in Peace" was a perfect portrayal of a disillusioned young man who considered himself beaten down by life in Bordertown. Campbell's multiple dialects in Nalo Hopkinson's "Ours is the Prettiest" were loads of fun.
If you are planning a summer trip with kids in the YA age group, this would be a great and thoughtful introduction to the genre of "Urban Fantasy", and something the whole family could enjoy.
"A beloved story even more vivid in audio form!"
A story I've loved for years becomes even more vivid in audio form. The addition of voice actors and music, in addition to Ms Kushner's superb reading, makes the magic of Riverside come even more alive. I've waited years for this title to appear as an audiobook, and this was well worth the wait.

For the price, you cannot beat these glasses. I have seen similar glasses for 10 times the price. They are right on trend, and good quality. The fabric pouch is nice, but I would recommend using a hard case if you keep them in a bag or in your car. They are worth preserving!
I have been trying to find a replacement for a pair of Gargoyles polarized glasses that got ruined. I am tired of spending big bucks on glasses and have them ruined so quickly, so the search was on, I bought a pair at another online retailer, they were not as advertised. I saw these glasses and the ones with the black frames "appreared" darker, I like a dark glass.....sadly these glasses are not very dark. The actual quality of these glasses is very good, the glass appears clear and is indeed polarized. For the money you are getting a decent pair of glasses, but as I said....for me the glasses are nowhere near dark enough.
You can easily pay upwards of $$$ for a set of solid sunglasses. Would I pay $$$ for these ? No...but they are more than worth the price
Bought these for my husband, who only uses polarized glasses for driving. He was amazed how well they cut down the glare, esp. on a long 1000-mile drive in sunny weather. For the price, these cannot be beat.. We have just ordered 2 more pair to have as extras, inc. for me - even though advertised as men's, they really could be worn by women. They look stylish, are lighweight and very comfortable.
Was a gift for my son in law. He liked them very much.
better quality than I was expecting for the price! got shipped rather quickly too
I found these inexpensive sunglasses to be of better quality than ones on the rack at the local department store but not nice enough to wear anywhere other than working outside. They seem durably constructed but have the tendency to look fairly cheap. The price was about right for the level of quality so I am happy with the purchase.
Great pair of sunglasses, lite fee,l and very stylish. You barely know you have them on. Great workmanship of frame.
getting ready to print the return label. Cheaply made they almost seem like disposable sunglasses

Champs, Scene #01
Hayden Richards usually hits the gym late because he knows it's the best time to find other horny young guys looking for action. When he sees Alex Andrews punching the boxing bag he steps up to spar him then takes off his t-shirt to show off his abs. He tells Alex to punch him in his rock-hard gut then yanks off the kid's boxing gloves and puts his hands down his gym shorts. As soon as Alex gets a hold of what's in Hayden's pants he gets on his knees to suck his dick. Hayden pumps Alex's face then stands him up so he can go down on Alex's thick uncut monster. Hayden orders Alex to strip, shoves his cock in the stud's ass and fucks him hard up against the boxing bag. They move to the floor where Hayden fucks a load out of Alex then pulls out and jacks his load all over Alex's sweaty chest and abs.

Research Grants
NORD's Research Grant Program provides seed money in small grants to academic scientists studying new treatments or diagnostics for rare diseases. The clinical researchers supported by NORD's research grants provide preliminary data indicating that a treatment (drug, device, or medical food) may be safe and effective when used for a larger number of patients. Researchers can then use the preliminary data to apply for larger multi-year government grants or to attract a commercial sponsor who will manufacture an orphan product and get it approved for marketing by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).

James then left Weepinbell at the Breeding Centre that Butch and Cassidy of Team Rocket had set up to both evolve and cage other people's Pokémon to send off to their boss, Giovanni. After James retrieved it from the Breeding Center it had evolved into a Victreebel, which would always show affection for James by biting him on the head every time it was released from it's Poké Ball.
Although Victreebel debuted in Kanto, it was seldomly used in battles and hardly ever came out of it's Poké Ball, very much like Jessie's Lickitung. Victreebel was not seen battling or using any of it's moves until the Orange Island Episodes and the Johto League episodes.
James often used it to battle along side Jessie's Arbok and/or Jessie's Lickitung. Also, sometimes, if James used both of his Pokémon he would send out his Weezing to battle along side Victreebel. He also used both Weezing and Victreebel alongside Jessie's Arbok and Lickitung when they would sometimes use all 4 of their Pokémon in a battle against Ash and his friends.
James really loved and cared about his Victreebel. In flashbacks, they were seen doing things together such as sleeping, eating, and bathing in hot water. James was also seen watering his Victreebel several times, and in The Grass Route James used his Victreebel for the Grass Tournament as Victreebel was a grass type Pokémon. During the contest it lost the battle to Ephraim's Skiploom Skippy.
Victreebel has a number of things in common with Jessie's Lickitung. They were both the second-ever Pokémon and second-ever Generation I Pokémon Jessie and James captured during their journey through Kanto. Also, they were seldomly used in Kanto during battles against Ash and Co., but were used more in the Orange Islands and Johto. They both showed affection for their Trainers in strange ways. Lickitung showed affection for Jessie by licking her on the face, and Victreebel showed affection for James by biting him on the head when beng released from the Poké Ball. Also, Lickitung and Victreebel were both traded away during Team Rocket's journey through Johto.
Victreebel also has similarities with James' other Grass-type Pokémon; Cacnea and Carnivine, because they all show affection for James by hurting him when ever they are released from their Poké Ball. They have also all been used as James's main battling Pokémon in each and every different region, Victreebel in Johto, Cacnea in Hoenn, and Carnivine in Sinnoh. Also, they have all been used in many battles along side Jessie's Poison Type Pokémon based off of snakes; Victreebel has often battled along side Jessie's Arbok, and Cacnea and Carnivine have both often battled along side Jessie's Seviper.
Victreebel shares some similarities with Ash's Bulbasaur and Bayleef. They can all use Grass-type moves such as Razor Leaf and Vine Whip, but Bulbasaur has more similarities with Victreebel as they are both Generation I Pokémon and are both duel Grass- and Poison- types. Also, they can both use Sleep Powder as well as Razor Leaf and Vine Whip. Victreebel has been in lots of battles against Ash's Bulbasaur and Bayleef.
In Here's Lookin at you Elekid James is pushed into trading his Victreebel for a Weepinbell by the Magikarp Salesman becuause Weepinbell can use Sweet Scent, which will attract other Pokémon for Team Rocket to capture. Soon after Weepinbell evolved into Victreebel and started biting Jessie just like James's old Victreebel did to him. Jessie then ordered her Arbok to send the Victreebel flying. Meanwhile, the Magikarp Salesman was being bitten by on the head by James's Old Victreebel. He kicked it way, realizing it was no good to him. The two Victreebel then met and fell in love, skipping off into the forest. They have not been seen since. However, Victreebel did appear in a flashback, when Gardenia, one of the Gym Leaders in Sinnoh mentions trading her Victreebel to James.
Moves used
Although James did order Victreebel to use Poison Powder in one episode, it did not actually get the chance to do so since Ash's Muk went inside Victreebel's mouth before Victreebel could even try to use it's Poison Powder move.

August 20, 2013
Love this
My favorite colors in my favorite style sweater! Soft, comfortable, easy to wear to work or casual occasions.
August 15, 2013
great stripe cardigan
I got the navy and green strip cardigan in XS. It was little snug, but perfect length to wear on a dress / skirt. The stripes are slimming and the quality is decent. True to size.
July 31, 2013
Great sweater
It is a really nice sweater, fits well and seems to hold its shape really well so far. I had washed it once and some fuzz came off, but nothing major.
July 26, 2013
This sweater proved to be a good fit. Not too long & fitted. Great buy on clearance.
July 25, 2013
Love it
I have many cardigans (mostly from The Limited) because wearing layers is the only way to survive summer in a cold office. This stripe cardigan was a fun addition to my collection. The size and quality matches my other Limited cardigans and I can't wait to wear it!
July 19, 2013
Perfect summer cardian
I have several other Limited cardigans, in xs and small, and I ordered both the navy and mint in a small. Both fit perfect; not too long, and the arms are not too tight. The vneck is not too low, and the length is quite perfect for work or casually. I am very happy with my purchase!
