This jacket is very nice and the quality is great (as to be expected). I found it to fit a little more snug around my upper back and shoulders, but that's ok considering I'm not going to button it. I'm excited about this find and bought the matching pants to complete the suit, I can't wait to wear it...

Neutral and versatile!
I wore this jacket only a couple of times so far, but I already know that I will get a lot of use out of it. The picture doesn't really show it, but the color is kind of light gray with some texture. It looks great with black tops and pants, but it can also be paired with a variety of bright colors and patterns. It will be great for the summer!! The only minor complaint I have is that I wish it was about an inch longer, but it will be perfect for shorter women.

If you are a fan of classic Nike trainers then no doubt you have proudly worn a set of Nike Air Jordan trainers before now. Our selection here at Footasylum is expansive and we have all of the very latest designs and styles. From the first Nike Air Jordan in 1985, Michael Jordan worked with Tinker Hatfield to produce a full range of Nike Air Jordan reissues. The modern day Jordan comes in a vast array of bold colour ways, although Michael 'Magic' Jordan insisted that the original Nike Air Jordan came in only plain white. The current Air Jordan is a far cry from the trainers worn by Michael Jordan himself as a rookie back in 1984 but they still represent the same standards of comfort, style and durability. Footasylum really is the place to get your Nike Air Jordan trainers with a variety of colour ways to cater for your style, our collection consists of Mens, Womens and Kids designs.

"Per-Output Workspaces" YEESSS!!!!!!!!
Phoronix: Wayland/Weston 1.0.4 Released; Per-Output Workspaces
Wayland 1.0.4 was released this week along with an adjoining update to its Weston reference compositor. Separately, a new patch-set has emerged for supporting per-output workspaces...
"Per-Output Workspaces" YEESSS!!!!!!!!
if they release wayland more often it might help with porn addiction for many people.
So what is per-output workspaces?
As is with Xorg when you switch work space it switches the work space for each monitor. That can be realy anoying if you are wanting somthing like email on one screen always and just want to switch workspace on the othere screen. With Wayland it would not be posible to just switch the one screen that you want to change workspace for.
Can't wait until 14.10 when Ubuntu should use Wayland as default (my opinion), Compiz drives me crazy.
Hm, I'm not sure how exactly per output workspaces would work..
I mean, imagine dragging a window so that it's halves are on both outputs,
then switch workspaces on the first/second output. Which output workspace
does the window belong to??
Also, while I guess this could be very helpful to some people, I personally really like
having one big virtual screen where all monitors share workspaces. When I set up
each workspace for a specific task/program, I use all monitors for maximum efficiency,
and so I really appreciate the ability to quickly switch between tasks, even with two monitors.
But to each their own I guess.

Few instruments in history have had the musical and social impact as the classic 6 string acoustic guitar. With over 4,000 years of recorded history, the acoustic guitar is one of our oldest and most treasured instruments, and now it is time to carve out your piece of musical history with a guitar of your own. When buying a 6 string acoustic guitar, there are a number of factors one should take into account. Most notably, acoustic guitars come in a variety of sizes. From smaller guitars all the way up to the legendary Dreadnought, it's important to find the size that best suits your needs. Also, the shape of the body changes from guitar to guitar with a cut-away design offering you easier access to the upper frets, which is certainly something a lot of players will appreciate. Equally as important to the body is the neck of your guitar. You will want to have a neck that you are comfortable holding in your hand. As a general rule, you can expect the size of your guitar's neck to directly correlate to the size of the body… the smaller the guitar, the smaller the neck. Acoustic necks are usually listed as 12-fret or 14-fret, referring to the total number of frets that clear your guitar's body.As well, different types of wood will produce different types of tone for your guitar. A wide variety of options exist, each of which give you a distinct sound and tone. As you would expect, the quality of a guitar increases with the rarity of the wood used, so you will have plenty of options available to suit your sonic needs. The modern troubadour is alive and well in the music of artists like Jake Bugg and Frank Turner. The 6 string acoustic guitar has always played a crucial role as part of our popular culture, and now is your opportunity to continue the enduring legacy of this musical instrument. We have the Limited Edition Alvarez Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary Guitar in stock. Supply is limited, so get it while you can.

Really Works - 2/14/2014 11:11:20 AM Firms skin, brightens. I use with Z. Bigatti Goodnight cream. Great products. Actually improves the look of your skin!Skin Care Staple - 9/17/2013 7:35:44 AM Z. Bigatti Re-Storation Skin Treatment has become a skin care staple for me. Nearly 10 years a professional at PIR Cosmetics recommended this moisturizer to me because of its 'deep penetrating' characteristics. My normal-dry, aging skin thrives on it.More like a Serum - 3/25/2013 5:52:16 AM I was excited to try this cream. However, I found it to be more like a serum than a rich cream. I gave it a chance to work, hoping to see some vast improvement but I did not really see it. I saw a slight improvement in the mornings but nothing that lasted through the day. The consistency is nice, but light, and I prefer a richer night cream. This feels more like a serum or treatment then cream.Wrinkles Away! - 4/2/2012 11:23:22 AM I have used Z.Bigatti restoration cream every night for about ten years. I am 59 and don't have any more wrinkles than I had the day I started using it. The beauty expert that introduced me to it told me that if I could not afford the whole line to definitely get and use the restoration cream. It is expensive but I will do without other things to get my Z. Bigatti Restoration cream. It is nice to get a little price break from the Skin Store. Try it-you will see the difference from day one!Best enzyme mask - 7/30/2011 6:07:24 PM I've used Zbigatti products for many years and this is the best mask I've ever used. It really keeps my skin looking fresh and clear. This is one of the products I credit for keeping my skin looking youthful.Rich eye cream - 4/14/2011 9:34:04 PM I'm still searching for a great eye cream that helps reduce the bags under my eyes and reduces wrinkles. I have sensitive skin and many product bother my eyes. This cream doesn't bother my sensitive skin, but I don't really see much improvement in texture. So the search continues.Luxurious face cream - 4/14/2011 9:22:25 PM I really like zbigatti products! I've used the Delicate Skin Cream, and splurged on a jar of Goodnight Cream. I have sensitive skin and it did a great job keeping my skin hydrated all day even if I only used it at night and then use a lighter face cream during the day. If I get a big raise, I can order another jar.Miracle cream! - 3/10/2011 12:43:47 PM After saving up several samples from SkinStore, I decided to give this cream a try as part of my evening regiment. It is a little heavy and I wake up with a greasy face, but my skin is smother, more moisturized, just... better! I have sensitive skin, but I did not experience any tingling or breakouts. I have used my samples when my skin is stressed or dry, and I can ALWAYS see a difference in my face the next morning. I'm saving my pennies and plan to purchase this cream ASAP!Z. Bigatti Restoration - 2/13/2011 7:16:29 AM I have tried other creams over the years that were less expensive or marketed well and always go back to Z. Bigatti. It is gentle enough for my dry, sensitive skin but still works well on the aging process. I am 57 years old and always hear that I look 35 or younger. In the end, I am happy to spend the money on a product I love.the one product I can't live without - 11/15/2010 8:08:28 AM I have been using z. bigatti re-storation skin treatment for ten years, and I love it! I have tried several other products over the years when I couldn't find z. bigatti, and NOTHING compares! It truly fades age spots & nourishes your skin! Worth every penny! -
Learn More About Z. Bigatti
Z Bigatti skin care was born from Olignutrients/Nano technology. This allows for active ingredients to penetrate deep within the layers of the skin in order to produce real results. Many brands use inactive ingredients which simply sit on top of the skin and do little else. Z Bigatti is loaded with highly effective ingredients that maintain their potency throughout the manufacturing process. This ensures top quality formulations that will give you real results. Choose from a variety of products including cleansers, exfoliators, toners and a wide selection of treatment products for specialized usage.
More than 15 years ago, Z. Bigatti emerged on the market, offering a new approach to skin care for those who truly wanted healthier complexions. To create the finest line of skin care products the world had ever seen, Attia brought together a team of scientists and skin care experts who understood the underlying causes of dermatological concerns. By formulating products specifically to halt or overcome these processes, the team created a skincare collection that offers truly unparalleled results for the health and appearance of the skin.
All Z. Bigatti skin care products are formulated to work upon the middle and lower layers of skin, where the ingredients in topical products are most needed. The middle layer of skin is where damage caused by free radicals is most evident, as it is in this zone where weakness in the collagen network that supports the skin leaves the tissue more vulnerable to wrinkling. The lowest layer of skin is the newest and healthiest tissue and requires nutrition to remain as beautiful as possible as it moves toward the surface and becomes visible.
To ensure that every formula can deliver results for the hidden layers of skin, Z. Bigatti products are made up of nanoparticles. These very tiny molecules retain all of the beneficial properties of large molecules but are especially easy for the skin to absorb. The result is skin nourishment at every layer of tissue and remarkable results. Discover the difference for yourself by shopping the Z. Bigatti collection.

Listen to Junot Díaz's interview on iTunes "Meet the Author" here.
Download iTunes here.
"Díaz finds a miraculous balance. He cuts his barnburning comic-book plots (escape, ruin, redemption) with honest, messy realism, and his narrator speaks in a dazzling hash of Spanish, English, slang, literary flourishes, and pure virginal dorkiness."—Sam Anderson, New York Magazine
"Genius…a story of the American experience that is giddily glorious and hauntingly horrific…That Díaz's novel is also full of ideas, that [the narrator's] brilliant talking rivals the monologues of Roth's Zuckerman—in short, that what he has produced is a kick-ass (and truly, that is the just word for it) work of modern fiction—all make The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao something exceedingly rare: a book in which a new America can recognize itself, but so can everyone else."—Oscar Villalon, San Francisco Chronicle
"Astoundingly great."—Lev Grossman, Time
"Terrific…High-energy…It is a joy to read, and every bit as exhilarating to reread."—Jennifer Reese, Entertainment Weekly
We're talking eleven years (to be exact), so of course one's life is bound to change plenty. But Drown acted like an accelerant, it put things into overdrive. To be honest, in real terms, the publication of my first book really didn't produce much acclaim. I was known among the story-writing nerds and the MFA types and the New Yorker crowd (whoever they are) and in certain sectors of the Dominican community, but that was about it. Still, even that little bit of "fame" was a lot for an anonymous immigrant kid from central Jersey who'd worked his way through school. As for its real effects: I sure wasn't ready for that kind of attention (by which I mean any kind), so after the book was published I found myself withdrawing deeper into my core of friends (most from childhood), into my students, into my work. I was (and am) super-self-conscious, but Drown made me even more so. Don't know why. But my God: I've seen the world because of my writing, and met the most extraordinary people. Drown has given me a contemplative life and allowed me to support the causes I am most passionate about, and help other writers and shine light on a minute fraction of the New Jersey Dominican experience. It's been a source of joy in spite of my discomforts, and that's the way of most good things, I suppose.
Why do you think people responded so strongly to that story collection, and still remember and talk about it?
Man, even my publisher calls my first book a short-story collection! Okay, for the record: Since its inception, Drown was neither a novel nor a story collection, but something a little more hybrid, a little more creolized. Which was why we didn't put "Stories" or "A Novel" on the cover. We wanted folks to decide what it was, as long as they didn't foreclose that it could also be something else, ¿entiendes? Okay, enough about my categorical anxieties . . .
Regarding your question: I've been really fortunate. Drown is one of those little-known books that stays in print because a sector of folks just seems to like it. (Could I say anything more immodest? Just watch!) To an extent it's been popular with teachers, with students, with lit heads, with readers, all kind of folks, really. Young writers like it because it's structurally instructive and also because its emotional honesty seems like something worth aiming for, surpassing. In Drown, I wanted – in a fictional way – to bear witness to the experience of one family in the Dominican Diaspora, one American family, in every meaning of the word, and when you try superhard, as an artist, as a historian, as a storyteller, as a human being, to bear witness, when you throw your heart into that effort, people (if you're in the right place at the right time) tend to respond. Okay, maybe it's all luck. Still, I'm happy that Drown continues to move people. It makes all the years of silence and solitude worth it.
Why did you wait eleven years to publish a second book, which is also your first novel? Were you concerned about living up to the critical and popular success of Drown?
I wish I could have written four, five books in the span of those years. Just couldn't do it. Didn't help that the novel I was trying to write at the start of that period was about the destruction of New York City by a psychic terrorist (my very own Third World Akira) . . . a novel that 9/11 ended real fast. Had to rethink the whole thing, was too busy experiencing the transformations in-country to write about them in an interesting way. I still have parts of that novel on my desk, and it's wild, watching Heroes, to see how common our apocalyptic nightmares are (New York City gets killed by a superhuman in that story too), and also how compelling. But it was more than just being sideswiped by history. Other stuff. Being scared, for sure. I can put the pressure on myself like nobody's business. Years of depression didn't help (if you'd grown up in my family you would have been depressed too). My own struggle against myself. Here's another theory, which the writer David Mura told me: You have to become the person you need to be in order to write your book. I guess it just took me ten or so years to become that person.
What new emotional and literary challenges have you taken on with The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao?
This is a novel that was born after the death of my Black Akira novel. I'd gotten a Guggenheim (thank you, John Simon!) around 2000 and spent a year living in Mexico City. Trying to write, trying to clear my head, trying to improve my Spanish. I lived next door to my friend and the greatest writer alive, Francisco Goldman, and we had all these adventures, spent many a night getting into trouble in the big bad Distrito Federal. Anyway, one time after a night of partying I picked up a copy of The Importance of Being Earnest, and I said Oscar Wilde's name in Dominican and it came out "Oscar Wao." A quick joke, but the name stayed with me, and next thing you know, I had this vision of a poor, doomed ghetto nerd, the kind of ghetto nerd I would have been had I not been discovered by girls the first year out of high school. I remember dashing the first part out in a couple of weeks. I thought it was a story, nothing more. But Oscar wouldn't stop hanging out in my head, and I realized that I wanted to write an entire novel about a Dominican kid who doesn't get the girls, who can't dance, who is the opposite of all the stereotypes that we inside the Dominican community have about "our men." I wanted to write about this nerdy romantic kid who's haunted by history and girls, who's good only at fantasy and science fiction, and yet who (tragically, hilariously) belongs to a community and to a larger culture that ain't too hot on men-of-color nerds or their interests.
But the real challenge was in trying to create a voice, a narrative, that would allow me to talk about Zardoz and the dictatorship of Trujillo and '80s urban hip-hop and Broca and the Diaspora Dominicana and E. E. "Doc" Smith's Lensmen and Latin Paterson and Unus the Untouchable simultaneously. Maybe for you that wouldn't be nada, but for me it was a challenge and a half. I wanted a narrative that could be top-level hilarious and top-level heartbreaking. I wanted a narrative that could be hip about the present yet also render the past not as something dead or shackled inside sepia tones but as something dynamic, with all its confusions, excitements, disappointments, and energies intact.
And (finally) there was this very brainy interest I had in these weird (and in my opinion reductive) arguments in Latin American letters between the forces of Macondo and McOndo. The short version is that Force McOndo claims that the "New Latin America" cannot be usefully described by the traditional magic realist literatures of the Boom (Force Macondo). Only something as contemporary and MTV-ish as McOndo can do that. One movement seeking to displace another. And me, I'm thinking, like a Caribbean, why can't we have 'em both simultaneously? So this book was an attempt to put Macondo and McOndo on the same page, in the same sentence, sort of to prove that you can't write the American experience, our American experience, by banning one set of passports in the process of privileging another. When I'm in the DR or Colombia or Havana, I go to both salsa and dance clubs. I have one Cuban friend who's into H. P. Lovecraft like crazy and another who's convinced that the ancestors and the orishas speak to all of us. In the DR you could be watching the Red Sox on satellite one minute and then hear a ghost story the next. In my opinion, if you really want to get close to describing what's happening in the New World, what's happened, you're going to need it all. Every narrative strand you can muster. Every genre and convention. A celestial mongoose? A heroin-addicted stripper-dating uncle? I'll take 'em both.
What is this new book about?
It's about the Dominican version of the cursed House of Atreus. And it's about this young nerd, Oscar, who risks his whole life on the chance of finding love. It's also about New Jersey and about Rutgers and about a crazy dictator and about cheating-dog men and how none of the hot women I grew up with wanted anything to do with dudes like Oscar. And it's about the foundational women in Oscar's life: his mother and his sister.
How autobiographical is this novel? More specifically, who is Oscar to you? And Yunior, your main narrator, whose identity is concealed until halfway through the book, who is he?
Well, I was hoping that this book was crazy enough that no one would ask me if it was autobiographical. I have (as yet) not encountered a celestial guardian mongoose, but I did grow up Dominican in New Jersey. That aside, I certainly wasn't Oscar, and Oscar certainly isn't me. But like Oscar I loved to read sci-fi and fantasy and horror and pulps growing up. My escape from my father and my neighborhood.
In Drown, you gave us a world seen mainly through the eyes of young, macho, intellectual Latino men, who hadn't been heard from very much in literature. But in your novel, you get inside the heads of not only different types of men, but also some very strong women, from three generations. Women are in some sense the heart of the novel. In one chapter you write in the voice of Oscar's sexy sister, and your take on the life of his mother is quite tender and compassionate. Did you make a conscious decision to write from a female point of view, or did it arise naturally? Do you see this as part of your development as a writer and a person?
I knew this novel would live or die on its female characters. If the women Oscar falls for ring false, then Oscar's loves would ring false, and if that happened, well, I might as well have given up the whole damn thing. So I worked hard on the Insane Objects of Oscar's Affections. . . . Anyway, there I was, thinking that I just had to describe Oscar's loves – and then Oscar's mother, Belicia, happened. I knew I wanted to say some words about her, just so we could understand Oscar better, but I didn't think she would take over the way she did. And man, did she almost take over completely. I ended up dumping hundreds of pages of Beli's story because it was devouring everything else. She is epic in ways that Oscar can only dream of being; she's the last survivor from a destroyed family who lives in the wastes of Santo Domingo as a desperately impoverished orphan until she is rescued, Dickens style, by a distant aunt. Beli's this young, yearning, beautiful girl living inside the shadow of this sinister dictatorship. As a result she is forced to become strong at a fundamental level, strong in the way only women tend to be. Beli as a character turned into a tribute to an entire generation of women I grew up with (my mother, her sisters, my friends) who had come to the United States and given their lives to build our community, to make people like me possible. Beli, in a way, was the key that opened all the other women in the book: her daughter, Lola; her adopted mother, La Inca; her real mother, Socorro. I found that I couldn't write just about Beli, I had to circumscribe her entire female world. So here's my confession: Beli and her story made me do it.
Writing across gender lines is hard. There are only a few writers who can do this well, and most of them are women. Toni Morrison writes some goddamn good men, and so do K. J. Bishop and Edwidge Danticat and Octavia Butler. I wanted to write about women as well as these sisters wrote about men; that was my goal, my dream. So of course I had my work cut out for me, and of course I'm going to agree with you that it's part of a writer's development to attempt to tell these cross-gender stories well.
Because of your subject matter and your cultural background, this novel will have obvious appeal for Latino and especially Dominican readers. Do you worry that it might be seen too narrowly, as appealing to those readers only? What are the broader themes here? What would you say particularly to non-Latino readers about why they should read this book?
How do you phrase this question for more "mainstream" writers? "Do you think your whiteness and your white subject matter will limit your appeal?" I'd love to hear the answers to that one! Call me crazy, but I happen to be one of those writers who think that the Dominican experience is a universal experience. What scares me is that the sci-fi and fantasy and fanboy content of this novel, not its dominicanidad, may narrow its appeal. People (I should put that word in quotes) visit (another quotable) the Dominican Republic because they want to experience certain kinds of packaged otherness, not because they want to hear some guy going on about the Dionysian architects in From Hell. But that's how it is with all art: You construct an imaginary audience in your work and then you hope that its real-world analog will actually show up. Whether it occurs now or two hundred years from now is another question. I just happen to believe that folks of all cultures and colors, and grad school types and immigrants and lexics (people who love to read) and fanboys and fangirls and love-story addicts and lit heads and homeboys and homegirls and history buffs and activists and family-epic lovers and nerds can all sit in the same room together and blab usefully. In fact, I believe that all of the above were meant to sit in the same room and blab usefully to one another. I'm idealistic that way.
There are a lot of literary references in this story, from comic books and science fiction to Henry Miller and Ayn Rand. But the dominant one is J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. What role does it play here?
I'm not sure The Lord of the Rings is the only shadow text lurking inside the book. One could argue that the movie Virus and the anime/manga Akira are also important. But if I have to choose, I'd say it's both The Lord of the Rings and the work of the comics titan Jack Kirby that whisper constantly through these pages. Tolkien certainly is a favorite of Oscar, the protagonist, and also of the narrator, Yunior. Like a lot of young readers I grew up with Tolkien, back when the only film was that Ralph Bakshi craziness. For better and worse, dude shaped a lot of contemporary fantasy conventions and fantasy audiences, and for me – for someone who grew up in the shadow of the Trujillato, the Dominican Republic's once and future dictatorship – it was hard to think about that awful reign without comparing it a little to the Sauronic menace in The Lord of the Rings. It's not that Trujillo was a Sauron; both Sauron and his master Morgoth were asexual and global in ways that Trujillo never was, but all three Dark Lords (Morgoth, Sauron, Trujillo) sought to achieve total tyrannies, the Lidless Eye everywhere, and there's much in their projects that resonates.
Kirby's work is equally vital to the book: his insane creativity, his cosmic-level mythologies, and iconography, which flipped my lid when I was growing up. I mean, consider his signature villain, Darkseid, whom I also tie to Trujillo: Darkseid and his Omega Beams and their ability to encapsulate a person – have you ever heard or seen anything like that? You have if you grew up in Santo Domingo. And then there was Kamandi. When Oscar dreams the end of the world, he dreams in Kamandi lines. And I'm sure it's obvious to those who read the novel that I'm a huge fan of Kirby's character The Watcher, who seemed to me the ultimate parigüayo, a perfect symbol for both Oscar and my narrative persona.
I'm sure you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. I'm sorry! But what matters is this: In my youth the only people who really seemed to be interested in exploring dictatorlike figures were the fantasy and science fiction writers, the comic-book artists. You didn't see much about that aspect of the world in the mainstream culture, so as a kid who was the child of a dictatorship I had to find analogs in the genres, and since that was the language that explained to me the scope and consequences that kind of power has on people (on myself), that was the language I deployed to explore those very questions in my own book.
Which writers have influenced you the most? Which ones do you read for pleasure?
No surprise: I read a lot. I love and have been influenced by (I hope) the usual suspects: Los Bros Hernandez (I owe them almost everything), Samuel R. Delany, Toni Morrison, Edward Rivera, Octavia Butler, Leslie Marmon Silko, Sandra Cisneros, Richard Slotkin, Piri Thomas, Harlan Ellison, Maxine Hong Kingston, Anjana Appachana, Stephen King, Arundhati Roy, Denis Johnson, J. R. R. Tolkien, Tomás Rivera, Enid Blyton, Alan Moore, Salman Rushdie, early Oscar Hijuelos, Edwidge Danticat, Haruki Murakami. But lately I've been nuts over Sven Lindqvist (nothing beats "Exterminate All the Brutes"!), Adrian Tomine, Steph Swainston (The Year of Our War), Chris Abani (everything), Chuck Palahniuk (everything), the poet Gina Franco, Natsuo Kirino (I absolutely love her novel Out), the Monster mangas, Ian R. MacLeod (The Light Ages rocks!), Jorge Franco (Rosario Tijeras!), and so on.
The weight of Dominican history hangs heavily over this book, especially the dictatorship of Trujillo. Is this something that Dominican-Americans are still very much aware of?
History weighs heavy everywhere. It's just that very few people care to feel it. And no, I don't think the average Domo in the Diaspora knows much about the Trujillato or its legacies. And I don't think any book is going to change that. But maybe one person will be inspired to poke around, and that's not bad numbers when you think about it.
What's your own personal relationship to the Dominican Republic? Do you still have close family members there? Do you visit often?
What can I tell you? My home country is really screwed up, politically, economically, socially, but I love the place. It feeds my humanity. I go about three times a year. Still have family and friends, a life of sorts, allá. If you see me on the plane or waiting for my luggage, say hi, you know.
You're a tenured professor of creative writing at MIT now. Do you find a conflict between your teaching and your writing, or do they feed each other?
I love my students to death, but it's a lot easier to write when you're not teaching. These are smart kids, so you put a lot into it, and that always takes its toll. But teaching is an attempt to give back, you know, so it's hard for me to think of being a writer without teaching.
Have you decided what your next book will be yet? What are you working on now?
I'm trying to write my "Psychic Terrorist Kills New York City" novel. Guess I'm stubborn as hell. Or just stupid.

When some Maoist posters blame foreign media in inciting the Southern Weekend incident, they should go watch Feng Xiaogang's recent movie "Back to 1942".
In the movie, Time reporter Theodore White was with the refugees in Henan and took some photos of cannibalism and even dog eating the corpse.
After White showed the photos to the KMT officials, the latter didn't care about the starvation but more concerned about China's image.
But at least they didn't blame White on inciting the dog to eat the corpse like our Maoist posters do on blaming foreign media in anything happening in China nowadays.
Anyway, KMT was also under a lot of "pressure" too at that time -- much more pressure than CCP is under now.
The Southern Weekend incident is not merely related to "Freedom of the Press".
The core issue is the "Rule of the Law".
Southern Weekend published on its New Year Day edition which stipulates that Constitution reigns supreme.
But Global Times rebuked that CCP reigns supreme and should not be bridled by anything including the Constitution it drafted.
So how can anti-corruption succeed -- since its own cadres are not subject under China's law?
So how can anti-corruption succeed -- since its own cadres are not subject under China's law?
According to western law, there is not much corruption as pictured by media.
Therefore China should adopt western law so there is less corruption on paper.
What "Western Law" do you refer to?
So far the Southern Weekend just articulated that the Chinese government should be bound by the Chinese Constitution, not any kind of "Western Law".
Unless you think that CCP members are special species who should be immune from Chinese law, otherwise I don't see why you should argue at all.
Why is the rebuilding of ground zero not finished yet?
New York government couldn't find a contract to get it done before 9/11/2011?
How much have New York people lost because of this?
He argues because he has quite severe paranoid delusions that correlate with his inferiority complex.
Don't feed the troll.

Winter ONEderland
Here's the bunting Elizabeth made. Isn't it stunning? She did the whole thing--all I had to do was glue the triangles onto some silver rickrack and hang it up.
Decor was balloons, tissue paper pom poms, wooden snowflakes that I colored silver, tealights floating in jam jars tied with raffia bows (inspired by this), and blue stones in clear vases. Plus the bunting, the favors, and the photo chain. And one little blue bucket of foam "snowballs" with a little flag sign saying "Snowballs, 5 cents."
I was so pleased with the photo chain. I ordered it off Etsy and all I had to do was put in the photos. There were 12 slots when I had been expecting 13, so I just put the newborn to 11 month photos on the chain and then centered the one-year photo above it. This chain got tons of compliments from all the guests. It was such a cute way to see how much he's changed in a year. Here you can see it in more detail:
I didn't do much to give the food a wintry theme, but we did do a hot cocoa bar (inspired by this), complete with Bailey's, Kahlua, and amaretto, whipped cream, pirouettes, candy canes, and flavored marshmallows (peppermint, cinnamon, and gingerbread, plus regular). That was also a big hit--we went through over a gallon of hot cocoa!
The spread (plus bonus shot of Jeni and family) included some items made by me--chocolate cake, gingerbread cake, lemon pull-apart bread, peanut butter brownies, spinach pockets, and crab rangoon--plus assorted store-bought dips and appetizers.
The favors were hot cocoa cones, done based on this tutorial--I just replaced the Valentine-themed sprinkles with a mix of white, silver, and blue sprinkles to fit the winter theme. (I did puff cones for the babies.)
And then, of course, there was the birthday boy. He only napped for 40 minutes before the party, so that was less than awesome, but he seemed to have a great time. He wasn't at all overwhelmed by the crowd of people in the house, and he had fun crawling from person to person and seeing all the other babies. He looked very serious when everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to him, but he didn't cry or act shy. He was not, however, specifically interested in his birthday cake.
In fact, he wouldn't eat any of it. He did pick up a tiny crumb at one point and lifted it to his mouth, but then he put it back down without actually tasting it. He did, however, crack a smile when I blew out his candle for him:
And as soon as the party ended, he conked out completely. It must have been exhausting.
I was really happy with how the party came together--but beyond the details, the best part was just getting all our friends together in one place. I didn't plan activities or anything--only food and decor--but inviting a whole bunch of people with babies makes the socializing pretty easy, because everyone has a lot to talk about. Most of our friends hadn't met each other before, but they all got along great and seemed to have a good time. And it was so lovely to see so many people that we adore together in one place to celebrate our baby. When everyone was gathered around him singing "Happy Birthday," I was smiling but I also felt a little choked up. It was just so sweet.
I hope everyone had a great time. I definitely did. Though I can't believe that after all the planning and baking, my child STILL has never tasted cake. He has no idea what he's missing.

Glen Plaid All-Seasons Blazer
Arms a bit long
As other reviewers have mentioned, the arms were too long, so I had to have them tailored. This jacket allows more room than usual at the bottom -- it flares a bit, so it works well if you have somewhat of a tummy, but looks too big if you are trim. I like the zippered interior pocket and wish the other interior one were zippered as well. Overall a great travel jacket for the plane.

Nice blazer but too expensive
I had this blazer on my wish list until I was able to get 20% off on it and decided to go for it. I'm disappointed that the sleeves are too long. It did wash up nicely, but will have to have touch up with an iron. I plan to take it on my tour of Italy and wear different color blouses under it for variety.
March 11, 2014
nicely made yet a disappointment
This blazer is beautifully made and the fabric is nice. I love the hidden pockets on the inside. It would well for both office and travel yet I have it all packed up and ready to return to TravelSmith. The sleeves are so long it would require a tailor to shorten them the 2 inches or so necessary and move the buttons at the cuff. The expense and the hassle are just more than I'm willing to deal with.
November 14, 2013
I purchased it because I thought it was navy since it was paired with jeans. I really need a navy plaid or tweed so please add that to your line. thanks.
April 9, 2014
Looking good while comfortable
This jacket is all that it should be. I liked the cut which comes in at the waist. The length is great, it hides just enough for me. It is neutral enough to wear with many items, while still having its own style. The hidden pocket is really hidden; I could find it only after looking 2 - 3 times. When I bought the jacket, it was on sale with free shipping, making it that much better.
September 10, 2013
I'm Happy
This jacket comes a little larger than usual and I had to exchange for a smaller size. Now it fits great. I love all the pockets and I love how I feel when I wear it.
January 26, 2014
Great Weight for Hot Weather
Nice, non wrinkle blazer. This is a perfect weight for warm weather, especially when you go in an out of air conditioning. I wish it came in Petite sizes, as sleeves are always long on me -- but you can roll the sleeves up. Looks nice with any color top and black pants. Great deal on sale!.
September 9, 2013
Nice looking jacket
Unfortunately we have long arms and the sleeve length was too short. Based on the appearance of the jacket, I would say it would make a nice outfit when worn with the pants, however, women with long arms and legs may not be able to enjoy the outfit.

Highlights from Nikon's Small World in Motion competition, featuring zebrafish embryos, killer T cells attacking cancer, and much more
Freddie Gray's death on April 19 leaves many unanswered questions. But it is clear that when Gray was arrested in West Baltimore on the morning of April 12, he was struggling to walk. By the time he arrived at the police station a half hour later, he was unable to breathe or talk, suffering from wounds that would kill him.*
Gray died Sunday from spinal injuries. Baltimore authorities say they're investigating how the 25-year-old was hurt—a somewhat perverse notion, given that it was while he was in police custody, and hidden from public view, that he apparently suffered injury. How it happened remains unknown. It's even difficult to understand why officers arrested Gray in the first place. But with protestors taking to the streets of Baltimore since Gray's death on Sunday, the incident falls into a line of highly publicized, fatal encounters between black men and the police. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, a reserve sheriff's deputy in Tulsa, Oklahoma, pleaded not guilty to a second-degree manslaughter charge in the death of a man he shot. The deputy says the shooting happened while he was trying to tase the man. Black men dying at the hands of the police is of course nothing new, but the nation is now paying attention and getting outraged.
After a five-month delay, Loretta Lynch made history last week. On Thursday, the Senate confirmed Lynch as the next U.S. attorney general, the first African American woman ever to hold this Cabinet position. Her long-stalled nomination sometimes seemed in doubt, held hostage to partisan jockeying between Democrats and Republicans. But one political bloc never gave up, relentlessly rallying its support behind Lynch: the black sorority.
During her initial hearing, the seats behind Lynch were filled with more than two dozen of her Delta Sigma Theta Sorority sisters arrayed in crimson-and-cream blazers and blouses, ensuring their visibility on the national stage. These Delta women—U.S. Representatives Marcia Fudge and Joyce Beatty among them—were there to lend moral support and show the committee that they meant business. The Deltas were not alone. The Lynch nomination also drew support from congressional representatives from other black sororities: Alpha Kappa Alpha members Terri Sewell and Sheila Jackson Lee took to the House floor to advocate for a vote while Sigma Gamma Rho members Corinne Brown and Robin Kelly and Zeta Phi Beta member Donna Edwards used social media and press conferences to campaign on Lynch's behalf.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
I'm not a dog person. I prefer cats. Cats make you work to have a relationship with them, and I like that. But I have adopted several dogs, caving in to pressure from my kids. The first was Teddy, a rottweiler-chow mix whose bushy hair was cut into a lion mane. Kids loved him, and he grew on me, too. Teddy was probably ten years when we adopted him. Five years later he had multiple organs failing and it was time to put him to sleep.
When I arrived at the vet, he said I could drop him off. I was aghast. No. I needed to stay with Teddy.As the vet prepped the syringe to put him to sleep, I started sobbing. The vet gave me a couple minutes to collect myself and say goodbye. I held Teddy's paw until he died. Honestly, I didn't think I was that attached.
Four hours after learning about Saturday's devastating earthquake in Nepal, I received a Facebook notification I had never seen before: Sonia, a journalist friend based in northern India, was "marked safe." An hour later, the same notification about a different friend popped up. Then another. Soon, several of my friends wrote that they, too, had learned via this strange new notification that their friends in Nepal were okay.
A few hours later, the mystery was solved. On Saturday afternoon, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on his timeline that the notifications came from Safety Check, a service the company launched last fall. "When disasters happen, people need to know their loved ones are safe," he wrote, "It's moments like this that being able to connect really matters."
In her new book No One Understands You and What To Do About It, Heidi Grant Halvorson tells readers a story about her friend, Tim. When Tim started a new job as a manager, one of his top priorities was communicating to his team that he valued each member's input. So at team meetings, as each member spoke up about whatever project they were working on, Tim made sure he put on his "active-listening face" to signal that he cared about what each person was saying.
But after meeting with him a few times, Tim's team got a very different message from the one he intended to send. "After a few weeks of meetings," Halvorson explains, "one team member finally summoned up the courage to ask him the question that had been on everyone's mind." That question was: "Tim, are you angry with us right now?" When Tim explained that he wasn't at all angry—that he was just putting on his "active-listening face"—his colleague gently explained that his active-listening face looked a lot like his angry face.
In Baltimore, where 25-year-old Freddie Gray died shortly after being taken into police custody, an investigation may uncover homicidal misconduct by law enforcement, as happened in the North Charleston, South Carolina, killing of Walter Scott. Or the facts may confound the darkest suspicions of protestors, as when the Department of Justice released its report on the killing of Michael Brown.
What's crucial to understand, as Baltimore residents take to the streets in long-simmering frustration, is that their general grievances are valid regardless of how this case plays out. For as in Ferguson, where residents suffered through years of misconduct so egregious that most Americans could scarcely conceive of what was going on, the people of Baltimore are policed by an entity that perpetrates stunning abuses. The difference is that this time we needn't wait for a DOJ report to tell us so. Harrowing evidence has been presented. Yet America hasn't looked.
"People skills" are almost always assumed to be a good thing. Search employment ads and you will find them listed as a qualification for a startling array of jobs, including Applebee's host, weight-loss specialist, CEO, shoe salesperson, and (no joke) animal-care coordinator. The notion that people smarts might help you succeed got a boost a quarter century ago, when the phrase emotional intelligence, or EI, entered the mainstream. Coined in a 1990 study [1], the term was popularized by Daniel Goleman's 1995 book [2]. Since then, scores of researchers have shown how being in touch with feelings—both your own and other people's—gives you an edge: compared with people who have average EI, those with high EI do better at work [3], have fewer health problems [4], and report greater life satisfaction [5].
Soon, thousand of police officers across the country will don body-worn cameras when they go out among the public. Those cameras will generate millions of hours of footage—intimate views of commuters receiving speeding tickets, teens getting arrested for marijuana possession, and assault victims at some of the worst moments of their lives.
As the Washington Post and the Associated Press have reported, lawmakers in at least 15 states have proposed exempting body-cam footage from local open records laws. But the flurry of lawmaking speaks to a larger crisis: Once those millions of hours of footage have been captured, no one is sure what to do with them.
I talked to several representatives from privacy, civil rights, and progressive advocacy groups working on body cameras. Even among these often allied groups, there's little consensus about the kind of policies that should exist around releasing footage.

Be still our beating hearts. Stephen Amell might be playing Christian Grey.The Arrow star revealed Thursday that he had meet with the producers of the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey film to discuss starring in the erotic drama."I get questions about Christian Grey all the time," Amell said in a Facebook video. "That project is a long way off. I know this, because I had a meeting about it. Long way off. I mean, not that long, but not close. I wouldn't call it long, but I wouldn't call it close."Returning Spring Shows: Where we left offIf Amell were to join Fifty Shades, it would be his second major role playing a dark, sexy billionaire. But the actor isn't worried about being typecast."You know what you have to do to get typecast? You have to work. A bunch. And working as an actor is the most important thing. I think one of the highest honors you can have as an actor is to be typecast because that means you've done a significant amount of work in one specific realm," Amell said in another video.Would you like to see Amell as Christian Grey? Who would you want to play opposite him Anastasia Steele?

Eight fresh products just for teens and young adults.
Clear Start™ was created by the skin health experts at Dermalogica, the brand that's been changing the face of skin care for more than 25 years. It became clear that no one was addressing the needs of teens – not only with products that get results, but also with the education they need – when Dermalogica Founder Jane Wurwand's own daughters entered their teenage years.
Skin care product choices available to teens may be ample, but they aren't good choices. Products for teens often contain harsh and inexpensive ingredients to strip the skin of oil, and are filled with artificial fragrances and colors – all things that can irritate and strip oil from skin, causing more problems than you started with!
