Daily OCD 12/7/12 | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Walt Kelly, Steven Weissman, Ron Regé Jr, Noah Van Sciver, Lorenzo Mattotti, Lilli Carré, Johnny Ryan, Joe Daly, Jason, Gary Panter, Disney, Daily OCD, Chuck Forsman, Charles M Schulz, Carl Barks | 7 Dec 2012 3:18 PM |
The cutest Carré animation of Online Commentaries & Diversions*:
• Review: Chris Sims on Comics Alliance looks at the first story (and title story) of the latest Carl Barks collection: Walt Disney's Donald Duck "A Christmas for Shacktown." Sims says, "At 32 pages, it's a sprawling epic (By Barks' standards, anyway) that hits those beautiful Holiday themes of altruism and the spirit of giving. Although to be fair, it does get a little closer to cannibalism than most other Christmas comics.
• Review: Speaking of Christmas comics, John Seven of the North Adams Transcript reads Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking by Charles M. Schulz. "As with the best of Schulz's work, the humor alternates between deadpan and over the top, and the presentation of religion and holidays both is both irreverent and respectful at the same time. Schulz was a multi-faceted writer and could tackle contradictions through great simplicity. Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking stands as gift from the past that is greater than the size of the package. It's a real treasure."
• Review (audio): Comic Books are Burning in Hell take you on a whirlwind, family road-trip of a podcast review of Gary Panter, Dal Tokyo and his occasional critics (Andrew Arnold). "Panter is very good at drawing altered states." "What was loose, scrappy and punk rock becomes much tighter." "The later stuff in here is the quote, unquote nicest drawing Gary has ever done, most acceptable comicswise." The evolution of one man's comics.
• Plug (video): Last Gasp makes a cute and cool holiday gift guide featuring Dal Tokyo by Gary Panter, Barack Hussein Obama by Steven Weissman and The Cartoon Utopia by Ron Reje, Jr.
• Plug: Creator of Barack Hussein Obama, Steven Weissman, runs around looking for vintage comics with Love and Rockets co-creator, Mario Hernandez at the Comics Alliance. Need a hot tip? "They stick a lot old stuff in between the new stuff so I always look for the brown spines,"says Mario.
• Review: On the North Adams Transcript, John Seven enjoys Charles Forsman, Oily Comics and The End of the Fucking World. "When I started, I didn't have a real plan for [TEOTFW]," Forsman said. "I just wanted it to be fun. After laboring over the other book, I wanted to have fun again, because when you're working on something for awhile, you can get bogged down in the details."
• Plug: On the Forbidden Planet International site, Simon Moreton praises The End of the Fucking World by Charles Forsman as "It evokes that intoxicating, teen slacker vibe, a cool, calm, detached horror and the intelligence of a well-paced, keenly told tale."
• Review: Filth and Fabulations includes Dungeon Quest 3 by Joe Daly in a Best of 2012 list. "The riffing on classic roleplaying tropes is often hilarious, but the true comedic brilliance of the series lies in the way Daly writes the often drawn out pages of dialogue between the main characters. He manages to capture the way people talk in real life perfectly."
• Review: MTV Geek's Best of Graphic Novel 2012 List includes Athos in America by Jason. "A series of short stories that put Jason's insecurities and imperfections on display in an occassionally uncomfortable and frequently moving way," states Eddie Wright.
• Review: MTV Geek's Best of Graphic Novel 2012 List counts Noah Van Sciver's The Hypo as Numbah One! "A big-budget movie can't capture the subtlety of Lincoln's personality like it's done here," states Valerie. Eddie Wright chimes in and says, "In Van Sciver's well-researched, moving portrait of the troubled president, he's painted as a nuanced, difficult, intriguing and most of all, human figure."
• Review: Noah Bertlatksy of The Hooded Utilitarian looks at Johnny Ryan's Prison Pit 4, the importance of genitals in an invulnerable society. "Prison Pit is a hyberbolic, endless series of incredibly gruesome, pointless, testosterone-fueled battles with muscles and bodily fluids spurting copiously in every direction. . . everybody, everywhere, is a sack of more or less constantly violated meat, to whom gender is epoxied (literally, in this sequence) as a means of more fully realizing the work of degradation."
• Plug: David Allen of the Daily Bulletin takes a look at all the comic strip reprints out currently, ready to read Pogo: The Complete Syndicated Strips Vol. 2 "Bona Fide Balderdash" by Walt Kelly. "Through his nonsense-spouting critters in the Okefenokee swamp, Kelly often satirized government and national politics, taking on the Red Scare and coining the phrase "We have met the enemy and he is us. But 'Pogo' also had slapstick combined with wordplay and whimsy. Nice to have 'Pogo' back."
*referring to Lilli Carré's looping animation she made for Heads or Tails! Too irresistable.

PSNH rate request comes in even lower than expected
The regulated utility serving 70 percent of the state is requesting its energy service rate be reduced nearly 10 percent, to 8.62 cents per kilowatt hour from the current 9.54 cents per kwh. In early May, the company predicted it would request 8.98 cents per kwh.
With all changes taken into account, the total electricity bill for a PSNH customer will be going down by 4.3 percent as of July 1, assuming the changes are approved, according to PSNH spokesman Mike Skelton.
"When we're running our generation, we're creating revenue that in effect goes to customers since it pays costs they would otherwise have to pay," Skelton said.
The PSNH energy supply rate is inching closer to the rates offered by competitors, who have been providing energy supply, delivered by PSNH, since mid-2012.
On the other hand, 12-month price guarantees by some competitors now exceed the PSNH six-month offer. Glacial Energy of New England is offering 8.69 cents for 12 months, while North American's 12-month offer is 8.79 cents.
"Switching is about more than just price," said Brian Landrum, president of Nextera Energy Services, which just entered the residential market last week. "We believe that price is still a big part of the benefit we can offer today, but we can also offer 12-month guarantees, green energy options and additional services down the road."

Alvarez to make Marlins debut in finale in Atlanta
Young hurler, who had been on DL to start season, to oppose Teheran
The Marlins will add yet another young arm to their rotation on Thursday night, when Henderson Alvarez makes his season debut against the Braves. The 23-year-old Alvarez joins a rotation that already includes three 20-somethings in rookie Jose Fernandez (20), Jacob Turner (22) and Nathan Eovaldi (23).
Alvarez, who came to Miami via November's blockbuster trade with Toronto, will finally get a chance to show the Marlins what he can do after beginning the season on the 60-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
"We don't really know what we're going to get out of him, because we only got to see him a couple of times in Spring Training," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "I think there is a little bit of an unknown in how he is going to pitch for us, because we didn't see him pitch much before he got hurt."
Similar to how he was handled during rehab stints with Class A Jupiter and Double-A Jacksonville, the Marlins will keep a close eye on Alvarez, who will be on an 85-pitch limit.
"I think we'll kind of handle him like we have the other guys," Redmond said. "We'll see how he does and how his pitches are and how much he has to grind."
If the way Alvarez threw during his rehab assignment is any indication, the right-hander has a lot to offer. Opposing hitters batted only .169 (14-for-83) against him.
Alvarez was recently named the Southern League's Pitcher of the Week after giving up only five hits and striking out 13 batters in 14 1/3 scoreless innings with the Suns.
"I know seeing him the few times that I had when he was in Toronto, this is a young kid who can throw strikes, and he logged a lot of innings," Redmond said. "He can win games. I think he will be a big help for us as another young arm who knows how to pitch."
Alvarez will square off against Braves starter Julio Teheran, who is enjoying a stellar rookie season in Atlanta's formidable starting rotation. Teheran sports a 6-4 record and a 3.12 ERA. His 10 quality starts rank second among MLB rookies behind Dodgers hurler Hyun-Jin Ryu's 13.
Braves: Teheran making batters whiff
Many batters try to make contact against Teheran, but few have succeeded as of late. Teheran has fanned batters more frequently since the final day of May.
He has recorded eight or more strikeouts in four of his past six starts, including double-digit efforts with 11 against the Pirates on June 5, and 10 against the D-backs during his most recent start last Friday.
Teheran ranks second among Braves starters with 7.65 strikeouts per nine innings, and he has fanned 10.6 batters per nine innings in his past six outings.
The Marlins are good candidates to potentially put a dent in Teheran's torrid strikeout rate. Only two National League teams have struck out fewer times than Miami.
"He's got swing-and-miss stuff, which is a good thing to have," Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We knew that, we saw the arm.
"And the thing that I've kind of been pleasantly surprised with him is he pitches at 92-93 [mph], but there's been some times where all of a sudden, that radar goes up to 95 certain times over the course of the game. So he has that in his arsenal."
Marlins: Alvarez getting a crack at batting
Alvarez will face Teheran in his first MLB at-bat on Thursday as part of his National League debut. Alvarez never got a chance to hit in two seasons with the Blue Jays.
However, a three-run homer by Alvarez during a rehab game with Jacksonville might be an indication that the Venezuelan will do just fine offensively.
"We were excited," Suns manager Andy Barkett said of the homer. "Any time the pitcher can come up and hit one, it helps you out a lot."
Alvarez finished 0-for-3 during Spring Training, grounding out to third base three times. If he can deliver even some of the power he displayed at Double-A, perhaps Alvarez can provide a boost to Miami's pitchers, who are batting .101 and tied for last in the NL with only three RBIs.
Worth noting
• Logan Morrison sat out Wednesday's game after a collision with Braves pitcher Kris Medlen at first base on Tuesday left him shaken up. The Marlins first baseman is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday.
• With a two-run double in the top of the eighth inning on Wednesday, Marlins catcher Jeff Mathis notched his fifth straight game with two or more RBIs, tying Hanley Ramirez's franchise record set in June 2009.
• Chris Johnson finished Wednesday's game 2-for-4 with a run-scoring single in the ninth, improving his batting average since May 13 to .355 (44-for-124).

Oxfam America: Becoming a Global Campaigning Organization

In 2000, Oxfam America, an international relief and development organization, launched itself on a bold new course. A small but respected agency, it had devoted itself for three decades to supporting "partner" organizations in developing countries throughout the world, funding a variety of grassroots activities. Now, under the leadership of its president, Raymond Offenheiser, Oxfam America had joined with eleven other Oxfams worldwide to become a "global campaigning force" that would focus on challenging the policies and practices of governments and corporations that harmed the poor. The new initiative was in keeping with Offenheiser's belief that it was time for the international development community to move beyond the "welfare" model of service delivery and embrace an approach that took aim at structural impediments that kept impoverished people from improving their lot. But the commitment to becoming a global campaigning organization would pose new challenges for Offenheiser and his senior managers. Within Oxfam America, the campaign work put new pressures on the organization's staff and resources. Some staff members, particularly those who worked with partner organizations in the field, found the campaign work onerous and, in some cases, irrelevant, and worried that Oxfam America's grassroots work in its regional offices was losing its primacy in the agency. HKS Case Number 1738.0
learning objective:
This case can be used as a vehicle for discussion of organizational change in the face of internal disagreement as to goals, and the leadership role necessary in such a context.

SPIKE and HatredSPIKE and Hatred"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." Friedrich NietzscheThe man left the room, the glowing embers of crazed lust in his eyes and sick satisfaction running fresh through his veins, leaving the boy, Spike, lying in the bed that has witnessed more dark deeds then sin. They had become more frequent lately, these nightly visits from his uncle, Charles. Those nights when he prayed for sleep, not for relief of exhaustion, but so he could sleep through the staining actions that he preformed. But strangely this night offered him that retreat, which had unfortunately come later than needed, and as sleep over took his cold and trembling body he fell into dreaming.He could hear scratching, scratching on the sickly white walls that surrounded him, and outlined the large room that he was in, his bare feet, chilled against the wet linoleum and
Waking to RealityAUTHOR'S NOTE: I figured I'd stick this here, just in case the beginning of this deters you. Read on before determining that Spike is totally out of character, ok? I promise, it makes sense in the end!Black hair.Oversized clothes.Tall and skinny.Aggressively hunched posture.It's him, all right. Spike. My Spike.I hesitate to think of him that way, but I can't help it. No one loves him like I do, I know that And I know he doesn't feel the same, but I can't help it. He's He's always been 'my Spike'.Not in a possessive way, though! Just In a way that I care where no one else does. So I'll do what I can to take care of him like no one else does.Thing is I can't believe he's here. At the tree house I've come here every day for the past two weeks, and he hasn't been here. I doubted he'd ever want to see me again after Well All that The fallout.The fight I figured he hated be, but There he is."Spi

People wait in line for hours outside the court house each day for a chance at one of a handful of seats open to the public in Jodi Arias' ongoing murder trial in Arizona.
The spectator crowds are growing steadily for the trial and seats are provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Desiree Lee, a regular attendee of the trial, said another woman had traveled from Michigan to see the trial but couldn't get a seat because she was too far back in line. So Lee sold her spot to this woman for $200. The court reprimanded the two women and Lee was told to return the money while that woman was allowed to keep her seat.
Neither woman faces any charges.
Arias faces a potential death sentence if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2008 killing of her one-time boyfriend at his suburban Phoenix home.

Seattle's got Nirvana, Liverpool's got the Beatles. And Belfast? Well, how's about Van Morrison, Snow Patrol and Stiff Little Fingers for starters!
In terms of great rock and roll cities, Belfast is up there with the best of them. But if you really want to get under the city's musical skin then hitch a ride with the Belfast Music Tour – a salute to some of the biggest names to come out of the capital of Northern Ireland.
Mixing back stories and back catalogues with weird and wonderful facts (bet you didn't know the first live performance of Stairway to Heaven was here in Belfast's Ulster Hall in 1971), the bus tour weaves through the urban landscapes that have inspired a whole host of internationally famous musicians, including James Galway and Gary Moore of Thin Lizzy. As music journalist and guide to the tour Stuart Bailie points out, while Northern Ireland might be small, its artists are responsible for selling over 100 million records combined.
But if you think Belfast's music scene is all about retro-hype, think again. Fresh and energized, right now the city is where it's at bands and musicians including Two Door Cinema Club, Cashier No9, Duke Special, and the chart-topping Snow Patrol. These guys are the offspring of an impeccable lineage, which the music tour, by bus and soundtrack, illustrates through the city's venues, hotels, city streets and quiet neighbourhoods.

From the a visit to the site of the Ritz where the Beatles played in 1963 (Gary Moore was in the audience) to the very place where Van Morrison and his band Them performed their first gig (a plaque now marks the spot), the tour abounds with stories and name-drops: Brian Kennedy, fiddler Sean Maguire, the McPeake Family.
By the time, the bus rolls back to its last stop at Oh Yeah Music Centre – one of the city's hip new music venues – it's hard not to start planning a Big Night Out.
As UK musician and presenter Jools Holland said, "if you can't have a good time in Belfast, you can't have a good time".

As early as the 14th century, people relied on the clay and herbs found in the Tuscany region of Italy to improve their appearances and their overall health. The fertile Tuscan countryside features nutrient-rich soil and produces remarkably nourishing plants, making herbal remedies that come from the region incredibly effective. The Borghese collection uses Tuscan-sourced ingredients as the base of its formulas, which heal damage to the hair and skin and improve overall beauty. Many of the formulas found in the range are based on early herbal remedies that have been fine-tuned with modern research to make them as effective as possible.

- 12/27/2014 11:51:20 AM Skin too dry after using it , may be good for summer after all day with a lot of sunscreen. Dispenser has very short nose- take time to get use to and not waist product literately "down to drain"Exceptional product - 3/18/2014 2:03:32 PM I cannot praise this gel/creme enough. It is water free so therefore it is a much better creme. I am 65 and the first time I used this my face thanked me. My skin has done a complete turnaround in moisture, ease of wrinkles (not fine lines), and a glow you only receive from a quality product. I am sold!!Good for sensitive skin - 12/6/2012 11:58:07 AM I have very sensitive skin so have been very prudent when choosing cleaning masque. This one works well. Though it also hurts, sometimes, the pain would be gone soon. One goes a long way.Great eye makeup remover - 8/4/2012 6:52:37 PM Fantastic product. I used to use the MD Formulations basic cleanser (with no glycolic acid) but they don't make it anymore. I've since been looking for something that is good value, doesn't sting my eyes, and doesn't dehydrate the eye area. This ticks the boxes. Mine had leaked in the box when I received it. There was no cap to protect the pump which you twist to lock and unlock. If there was a cap maybe it wouldn't have leaked. Apart from that I love it.excellent product - 7/2/2012 6:09:45 AM i have used the Fango Mud for regular skin and really liked it. i recently discovered the Fango mud for delicate skin which is what I have and I love it. it really brings relief and moisture to dry delicate skin.Great Product - 1/10/2012 11:45:14 AM This make up remover is great especially for people who have very sensitive skin and acne prone like myself. I love how it does not irritate and dry out my skin. A wonderful product!!My absolutely favorite hand cream - 3/21/2011 6:00:44 AM I perpetually have dry hands and elbows and go through hand cream very quickly. I have tried so many different brands from the high end to the drug store variety. Borghese's Splendide Mani Smoothing Hand Cream is BY FAR my favorite out of all of them. It is thick and luxurious. It takes a minute or two to absorb, but it keeps my hand soft and moisturized all day long. It even holds up pretty well through hand washing. I know many hand creams claim they hold up through hand washing, but this cream is one of the few that actually does. I only have a couple of complaints about this hand cream and they are only personal preferences and do not reflect the quality of the product. This is a high quality product and it is the best of the best! #1) I do not care for the scent at all. I wish that it didn't have a scent. I like to wear perfume and it clashes with any perfume I wear. The scent does dissipate after a while, but not right away. #2) The other downside is the price. It is expensive -- even if it does last a long time. I do think it is worth the price... I just wish it were a little less expensive. As it is I only buy it as a splurge and do not use it 100% of the time (which I would do if it were more reasonably priced). Keep an eye on Borghese's holiday gift sets. They often include this hand cream. They have a TON of products in them for a fabulous priced and come in the most beautiful boxes. Every year I anticipately wait for the holidays to see what Borghese will release as far as their gift sets. I am NEVER disappointed. Many times they release two versions and I purchase both. Last Christmas I bought one for my 70+ year old mother and she loved it.great heavy hand cream - 11/14/2010 3:50:45 PM My husband and I have used this hand creme for probably 15 years. I followed it from store to store as the department stores phased out Borghese and finally had to order it online. I'm glad SkinStore is carrying it. Its a terrific heavy creme for dry, itchy, red hands. My husband used to use vaseline on his hands and leave grease stains on the sheets. I tried many cremes before finding Splendid Mani. It satisfies his need for a hardworking, healing, night cream. I love the light spa-fragrance--I'm very sensitive to smells but this one is light and not offensive. The creme is greasy if you use too much or if you are wearing delicate fabrics or leather, so I mainly use it at night even though it has sunscreen.A little goes a long way. But I always find it to be the best of any for dealing with dry, cracked hands and nails.Highly recommended! -

Government Quotes and Sayings
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
– William Penn
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of.
– Confucius
People shouldn't be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.
People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
– Alan Moore
Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
I have certain rules I live by…My first rule, I don't believe anything the government tells me.
– George Carlin
Capitalism is not an ideal solution because it would, in theory, legally allow a single person or organization to eventually buy out everybody else living on earth. The whole globe having thus become private property, the telltale sign of capitalism, 'no trespassing' would arise on every spot on earth.
The mightiest of weapons is truth. And everyone knows you're not permitted to enter a government building with a weapon.
The government is like chicken pox, you try to get away from it but it always catches you.
A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members.
– Mahatma Gandhi
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.

The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.

Hell, I never vote for anybody, I always vote against.

What luck for rulers that men do not think.

Beware the greedy hand of government, thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry.

A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.

Fatima L.Love It, 5 StarsI bought this hair dryer few weeks ago, and I used this machine about 3 times. I love it . I would give it a 5 starsposted Feb 28, 2012Link to this post
Laura W.United StatesHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairNo More Wet Head!I have been using the BaByliss Pro for about two weeks now and love it! I have begun wearing my hair naturally, and my thick, coarse hair would take several hours to dry on its own. I disliked going out with my hair still damp so decided to get a hard hat dryer. After reading other reviews of this product, I decided to try it. I have found the heat level to be just right, and my hair will dry in 15-20 minutes on the high setting. The product is well made and the height level is easily adjustable. I would definitely recommend this dryer to anyone looking to wear their natural curls.posted Feb 20, 2012Link to this post
TinaAllentown, PAHairMedium BrownCurly HairLike Having A Hair Salon In Your Home!I was very skeptical when i ordered this product since the price seemed too good to be true. I LOVE this product. I have it plugged in behind my vanity, tucked into a corner, with the top turned to the side so I don't bump into it. Whenever I want/need to style my hair....meaning....the obvious... i just showered and need to dry my hair....and also the times I spritz my hair with water and product.....and want to set it....the dryer is simply a matter of flipping down the lid and letting it do its job.
With the variety of settings it can work at whatever power level you need. It works really well. I find it very relaxing as well.
I highly recommend this product over a bonnet style product if you love the results from a salon style dryer.posted Feb 13, 2012Link to this post -
Sandi D.Monmouth County,njHairLight BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairGreatI was looking for a hard hat dryer, I didn't want the table one. Folica has the best price, it took about a week to get it. I have dark brown hair lifted to Ash Blonde color with High/low Light. Damage to the T, but that way I like it.
It dries my hair much faster than in the beauty salon. I set my hair in Rollers. It took about 30 minutes, completely dry. My ends are smoother.
I can't use Roller bigger than 2 inches. I really like it....if the hood was deeper it would've been perfect. Easy to assembly.. Easy dis-assembly.
Enjoy~ Great buy

ElizabethPortland, OregonHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairOld-fashioned But Not Really!I just got the BaByliss PRO Ionic Rollabout Hard Hat Dryer. So easy to put together and instructions are included. I live in rainy cold Portland and in the mornings I don't have time to dry my hair. I was going to work with a wet head or my hair just pulled back into a ponytail or bun. Now,, I just wake up a little earlier, wash, condition, gel my hair and sit! I can read my homework or work on the computer. It is an old fashioned idea but totally modern because you can either just relax or multi task. I have kinky, curly, almost shoulder length hair. I was worried it wouldn't dry the ends but it did just fine. There is a coo,l moderate and hot setting. Under the hot setting I was completely dry in 30 minutes. This morning I was in a rush and I was 80% dry in 15 minutes!
It set my curls just so and then I put in a small bit of glossing cream and I was good to go! I absolutely love this investment. This weekend I plan to deep condition my hair with it. The only thing is, I am sensitive to loud noise and I thought the hot setting was a little loud so in went the ear plugs. Simple!
All in all, great product.posted Nov 18, 2011Link to this post -
DanielleHairRelaxed HairAbsolutely DisappointingI was so excited to buy this dryer and take a step up from my little portable tabletop model. Boy- was I ever disappointed. My table top model is much more powerful and gets much hotter. This Babyliss product just does not have the wattage and heat to dry my hair. It is taking me twice as long to dry my hair as my old model and it is still coming out frizzy because even on the maximum heat setting the dryer is only lukewarm. Given that this model was three times the price as replacing my old partable, I am majorly disappointed and could never recommend this to anyone. Combine that with the fact that this model takes up twice the closet space, I feel like I majorly lost out on this deal. I plan to just buy a new table top dryer this week and maybe see if I can get some of my money back by reselling this dud to someone who doesn't mind sitting for hours...posted Nov 14, 2011Link to this post
DebbieHairDark BrownCurly HairI'm Not Going Outside With Wet Hair This WinterWhen you have a head of curls air drying does the job but wet hair is for hours AND air dried curls don't seem to hold as long. Unfortunately using a nozzle hair dryer demands a long stand-up at the sink time with a bulky diffuser on the end of the cone. Slowly will one's hair dry, and who has time before work & getting the kids out to school?
With this dryer, I roll it behind my desk chair and zip through the pre-work morning emails while fast drying my hair.
Looking forward to longer lasting curls and less icy ringlets this winter!posted Nov 10, 2011Link to this post -

I bought this for my grandson's birthday. My daughter and I were very pleased! The colors were bright and beautiful and true to the picture on the website. We also bought the navy black-out curtains that had silver stars scattered all over them and they were an almost perfect match. My grandson LOVES his room!
My son's bedding was looking a bit old and raggy so I went shopping online for a new set. I ordered this set and it was delivered in 3 days. I washed it all in my front loader and it came out fantastic. It's on his bed now and he loves it. Really nice quaility fabric, bright colors and machine washable. Excellent buy!
My 2 1/2 year old LOVES this bedding. He calls it his spaceship bed. It is really very cute and the colors are very nice. I read a lot of the other reviews before i bought this set and while I do agree with those that said this is not the softest material it's unrealistic to think that you are going to get soft high quality fabric for this price point. The sheets once washed are actually softer than other kids sheets I have used. I think this product is a great value!
My son is 9 years old so he isn't quite a little guy anymore, but he isn't quite a big guy yet. I looked and looked for a bedroom theme in between and found this set. He loves it! It is very cute and cool at the same time. The only thing I can say that I wish were different, is the fabric could be softer. Be prepared to use a lot of fabric softener. So, 5 stars for design but maybe 3 stars for fabric.
My son loved this set. It really brought together the solar system look I was going for. Over the years, it has held its quality wash after wash.
Overall, great colors and expected quality for the price. My only problem is that the sheets don't wash well. Stains seem to stay in this fabric no matter what I do to get them out. I still love the set of two that I bought for my son's galaxy room for his bunk beds.
This is a very nice bedding set for the price. It's soft and comfortable, and has all you need. I like that it isn't too babyish for my son, like many of the other space themed sets I looked at. It matches all of his planets, as well as his Star Wars decor.
Was bought for 8 year old grandson and he was very pleased with it. Quality is good and the price was cheaper than any other site for the exact same item.
A good, fun set of sheets for the young space enthusiast. It's a little harsh for sensitive skin at first, but a few washings makes it much better, and kids can handle it for a time or two until it breaks in. It has fun little stars and planets whooshing past. :)

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
13, rue des Beaux Arts, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 6th Arr. (St-Germain/Luxembourg)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
No two rooms are the same — any hotel with even a modicum of personality is likely to include such a phrase somewhere in its promotional literature, and it is bound to be true, at least to some degree, of any hotel selected by Tablet (though there may be a Japanese capsule hotel in our future). Then again, no two snowflakes are the same either, and that's not exactly a compelling argument for sleeping in the snow, is it?
That said, in L'Hôtel's case, it really is true. The rooms really are all different, vastly different, so different they seem to belong to separate hotels, or even continents. The Barroco is in Italian Baroque style, the Pagode in an antique Japanese theme, the Léopard is finished in leopard-print fabrics, and the Oscar Wilde is in a traditional English style, a partial reconstruction of Wilde's dining room in London, featuring framed letters from the staff urging him to settle his hotel bill (which he did not live to do). All of this is carried off with a charm and a mastery that elevates it above gimmickry, into the category of real character, of personality.
Personality, after all, is what makes a hotel a Tablet hotel — not 24-hour room service, or indoor pools, or other standard five-star amenities. What cookie-cutter chain hotel can match L'Hôtel's central spiral staircase, into which sunlight pours through a domed glass ceiling, or the Roman-style bath, housed in the vault beneath the hotel?
There is a restaurant, and a good one — not a three-star spectacle of a restaurant, but an excellent one anyway. Le Restaurant exists not as a public relations scheme, or as a way for the hotel to maximize food and beverage profits, but as a service to its patrons — remarkable food, French but totally modern and light. This restaurant is as popular with the locals as the bar is with celebrities.
Fitting, as the hotel is not designed as a self-contained experience, but as a complement to the attractions of the surrounding district. L'Hôtel is located in St. Germain-des-Prés, the heart of the Rive Gauche, within easy reach of the Ecole des Beaux Arts and innumerable art galleries, cafés, and boutiques. It would be quite reasonable to claim that this is the best location in Paris for a hotel; for those interested in experiencing the authentic Paris, there is no better place to start.
In fact, if this were a boring corporate mega-hotel, the neighborhood alone would make it worth visiting. But this is a phenomenal hotel, full of life and character, and the combination of location and execution make L'Hôtel the place to stay in Paris, and, quite possibly, the perfect Tablet hotel.
Please note: The façade will undergo renovations from June 29 through August 31, 2015.

Everything. My family used to stay here in the 1960s when it was the Alsace. The location is perfect. We walked everywhere. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the decor is so over-the-top that it works! This is a very happy place. Don't miss having a pre- or post- dinner drink in the bar.

What I liked:
L'Hotel has long been my favorite hotel in Paris. My visit this week was the first in a while that I had the opportunity to stay there - and am delighted to say that this brilliant, classic hotel just gets better and better all the time.
Service is phenomenal - every single staff member. The hotel is small, but not at all small on comfort - it always feels intimate and elegant and completely comfortable. And it is without a doubt the very best location in Paris.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

A principle ideal.
Professional kitchens featuring innovation, consistency and passion.
What is "a principle ideal"? The visionary claim of company founder Friedrich Küppersbusch, valid for more than 130 years now: constructions must all be well thought-through, solidly-built and be of an uncompromising quality – ergonomically designed and of impressive functionality.This means that everything fits together and combines perfectly: cooking, cooling, storing, regenerating and serving all from one source. Each surface, each detail and each appliance features the proverbial German quality.
A principle ideal means: smart solutions such as an individual block of cookers with an all-in-one, hygienic worktop. Another principle is to actively involve Küppersbusch users. Their ideas and experience are reflected in every product and service. Developed in practise for practical use – this is how individual processes, new appliances and design solutions are developed in cooperation with the Küppersbusch development team.
