Thomas Bloch set for glass harmonica concert at 2013 Edinburgh International Festival
21 Aug 2013Rare instruments specialist teams up with Scotland's Hebrides Ensemble
'It looks like a horizontal kebab. But instead of meat, you have crystal glass bowls.' It's an odd description for a musical instrument, and what Thomas Bloch is describing is admittedly one of the world's strangest: the glass harmonica. If a…
20 Aug 2013Narcissistic interpretation of Kafka's seminal text

16 Aug 2013Hyo Jin Kim and Hyung Su Kim blend live performance with striking visuals

14 Aug 2013The celebrated pianist performs Bach, Schoenberg and Schumann at the EIF

Lin Zhaohua production of Coriolanus set for 2013 Edinburgh International Festival
13 Aug 2013Lin Zhaohua arrives in Edinburgh with his take on Shakespeare's tale of heroism rejected
Although he would challenge any notion that he is an avant-garde director, or that his work has any distinctive style, Lin Zhaohua is no stranger to the sort of controversy and enthusiasm that accompanies any theatre-makers who reject the predictable.

Interview: Édouard Lock world premiere set for 2013 Edinburgh International Festival
15 Jul 2013The influential choreographer who is aiming to build some bridges

Bill Nye, left, and Bob Newhart, center, are joined by cast member Johnny Galecki in Tuesday's episode of "The Big Bang Theory."
Science guys
Bob Newhart, who won his first Emmy this year for guest-starring on "The Big Bang Theory" (7 p.m., WCCO, Ch. 4), reprises his role as Professor Proton on the hit sitcom, which will also feature Bill Nye the Science Guy. If Albert Einstein were still around, he'd probably hang out with Leonard and Sheldon as well.
Jail break
James Lipton, who played Warden Stefan Gentiles on "Arrested Development," reunites with his cast mates for a new edition of "Inside the Actors Studio" (7 p.m., Bravo) in which creator Mitch Hurwitz explains why Lipton was one of his dream guest stars.
Ave Maria
Get a sneak peek at Duluth's own Maria Bamford before her performances at Acme Comedy Co. Nov. 19-23. The University of Minnesota grad is the featured guest on "Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell" (10 p.m., FXX), which, in my biased opinion, is shaping up to be one of late night's best offerings.

She is survived by four daughters, Pam (Jerry) White of Carol Stream, Ill., Suzy (Jerry) Donaldson of Jonesborough, Tenn., Barb (Harold) Herron of Sugarcreek, and Elizabeth (Ed) West of Tampa, Fla. Lori also was survived by two granddaughters, Christine and Kaitlyn; six grandsons, Peter, Richard, Joshua, Adam, Ryan and Kevin; three great-grandsons, Caulin, Dylan and Owen; and two great-granddaughters, Jessica and Joliea.

Mrs. Constant
Tom and Lori owned and managed two restaurants in Tiffin during the 1960's, The Lamppost Inn and Uncle Tom's Chicken. She later worked at Osterman's at Westgate Village and Tiffin Mall, where she enjoyed the companionship of her colleagues and visits from her many friends and customers. She was feisty, opinionated, fun and faced life and death with courage and dignity. She will be dearly missed.
Memorials may be made to the First Christian Church, Tiffin, Ohio.

In 1999, when he was 23, he worked as a doorman on the graveyard shift at the fashionable Morgan Hotel in New York City.
"One of the guys I took to their rooms was Leonardo DiCaprio," fresh off his superstar turn in "Titanic," Cooper said.
"I remember riding down on the elevator after I showed him and about seven of his friends their room. I was wearing the uniform, not a hip look. I remembered reading recently that he and I were exactly the same age. I went down in the elevator thinking I had been four feet from the guy and we couldn't be in two more different worlds. He was my age and he had accomplished so much."
Flash forward: Now DiCaprio and Cooper are good friends, attending last year's Super Bowl together. "It's a crazy business," Cooper said.
It sure is. Next year Cooper will become a figure in the Marvel superhero universe, but with a lunatic twist.
In "Guardians of the Galaxy," he plays pint-size Rocket Raccoon, a gunslinging, genetically manipulated critter with an advanced intellect and humanoid properties. He's working with director James Gunn to perfect the militant little furball's sound. (A tough Cockney accent is under consideration.) Cooper is also working out the digitally rendered creature's body language, acting out his scenes in a bodysuit as motion-capture cameras record his performance.
"We're right in the middle of it, but I can say he's a pretty volatile guy." Playing a wisecracking extraterrestrial ringtail might seem like a pretty big stretch, but so far underestimating Cooper has been a bad bet.

We can also enjoy the quiet moments and appreciate going out for coffee and a pastry at our favorite shop every weekend. When we travel, we will try to see some of the popular tourist spots. But we also just try to be one of the locals and just enjoy the simple things and scenery that is around us.

It's no secret that the lack of an HDMI port on Apple computers has been the source of much angst for Mac users. Since most HDTVs forgo the DisplayPort in favor of the HDMI port, Mac users have to buy video adapters to connect their Macs to their HDTVs. Finding the right one can be difficult, but the mLinq USB-to-HDMI-with-Audio Adapter from Kanex makes it easy to connect your Mac to an external display for full high-definition video output.
This adapter connects to the USB 2.0 port of your Mac computer and has a female HDMI port on the other end, which allows you to connect to a HDTV via male-to-male HDMI cable. Enjoy 1080p HD video playback right on your HDTV with full audio.
- Support for Past Mac Models
- For the legacy Mac (2006-2009) computers that do not have a Mini DisplayPort connector, this adapter is an ideal solution for connecting to any HDMI-compliant external display, such as an HD projector or an HDTV. Unleash your desktop applications by extending your legacy Mac onto a newer display for extra desktop space, viewing photos and watching videos
- Panoramic View
- Enjoy multiple desktops. Just connect this adapter to your existing USB port and create a panoramic workspace by viewing your desktop across multiple displays without sacrificing continuity
- Quick & Simple
- Set-up is a breeze for those who have plugged a USB cable or any other USB peripherals before. This adapter needs just a one-time software installation the first time it is plugged in and then it's plug and play from then on. It is even hot swappable with no need for hardware updates
- Powered From Within
- Don't bother with cumbersome power supplies that take up space. This adapter is powered via USB. With a built-in LED light, the adapter will conveniently alert you when its on and working

Women of Virginia are still angry over the governor's passage of the mandatory ultrasound bill, and they aren't going to let him slip away from his decision.
Not even with a whole lot of lubricant.
NOW President Kobby Hoffman helped seal a box containing 864 packages of Surgilube to Gov. Bob McDonnell, which was mailed to his office after the demonstration.
"This is to remind him of the next 864 women who will be getting the outrageous mandatory ultrasound procedure authorized by his signature to begin July 1," Hoffman said. She called the demonstration the "Gel the Gov" project.
There's no word of what the governor will do with that much lube, but he's never been one to mind his own business.

The Toni Love Show Discusses Hair Loss And What You Can Do About It
By Rob Maynard
Toni Love is an author, educator and hair loss specialist. Join her Saturday, February 2 at 7am on WCLK for a look at the factors causing hair loss, and the proper approach to this condition from both the client and the stylist perspective.
Toni is joined by both a hair stylist trained to treat hair loss, and a client suffering from hair loss, for a frank discussion about what to do and what not to do. Should you use hair extensions? At what point do you need to treat your hair loss as a medical, rather than an personal appearance issue?
For more information about Toni Love you can click at the links to reach her at her website or facebook

Youngstown, Ohio Fire Department Website is CHANGED!
The Unofficial Youngstown Fire Department Website has undergone a massive change since the last time I posted anything about it. Check it out at:
If you have a site, I would be more than happy to add your link, just return the favor...ohh, and feedback is always appreciated. Keep it real, Joe

O.K. it changed, I guess it's O.K. Just becaused it's loaded with pictures, information, and history about the Y.F.D. The webmaster also has a very nice cat. Actually, this is one of the better sites to check out. The content is terrific. If you're thinking of opening a site, take a look at both of the YFD sites. There's a lot of effort and good ideas in them. So where is Mickey's Bar?
06-24-2001, 04:51 PM #3daysleeper47Firehouse.com Guest
LOL Steve...unfortunetly Mickey's closed. Something about selling alcohol to minors every single night of the week...but thankfully a new bar(and one that is in good standing with minors like the previous) has opened...both have enhanced Youngstown's image(riiiiiiiight). I guess you checked out my personal site.
As for the YFD site's( http://youngstownfiredept.8m.com and http://www.youngstownfire.com ) , they are both great sites. Greg and I have gone into a lot of joint ventures such as starting a YFD email newsletter and we both actively maintain the YFD bulletin board, posting fire calls and the like. I will be the first to admit that his site is a lot better than mine, as he has tons of experience in web design, and this is only my first real website. Greg has a massive update coming on June 25th, and even I don't know what it is...although I am guessing he will launching a live feed into the YFD dispatch, but that is a guess. Check out http://www.youngstownfire.com on June 25th!!!!

A young lad like you shouldn't be staying up so late at night! Yep, checked your personal page. As the photos will attest, you need that beauty sleep! I'm going to check out the live feed in a bit. I dug up a few newer YFD pictures (80's vintage) that I'll scan in later this week and send you guys. How would you know about a bar serving alcohol to minors?
06-25-2001, 08:28 AM #6daysleeper47Firehouse.com Guest
Oh, I have just heard stories from the more troublesome teens in the community...yeah, thats what it is. (HONEST!)
Thanks for the photos...can't wait to see em.
Just want folks to keep looking at the YFD sites! Post a comment in the bulletin board on the YFD site or leave Joe or Greg a message in the guestbook. I get thousands of dollars for every person who signs the guest book. O.K. Maybe not...

Brent, using your logic here, if you leave your boat anchored out and dingy into shore, anyone can come up and get on your boat and use is as they see fit. As you have on legal right to exclude claim to what is a public space by putting your boat on it. Perhaps not take it from the location, but use it and tell the owner (you) to stuff it.
A bigger issue for me is if it has lots of growth on it how do you have any confidence in it's ability to hold your boat? I am sure your steel boat is not too light weight, and if the mooring is designed to hold a laser or some other small boat. I would think you would just make one for $2.50 out of scrap steel and drop it and use it.
I like your spirit most of the time, but I think you are just plain wrong here, and trusting some one else's engineering to hold your boat too boot.

I think Pascal was my favorite part about Disney's Tangled. Though... according to the head storyboard artist he almost didn't exist. Fun fact, originally Rapunzel was going to paint faces on objects and talk to them. They added Pascal to make her not as crazy.

Some of the Seahawks' youngest fans will be able to celebrate on the streets of Seattle without punishment.
Ballard High School and Roosevelt High School are allowing students to skip school for the Seahawks' Super Bowl parade on Wednesday, according to the Seattle PI. The parade starts at 11 a.m. PT and will wrap up at CenturyLink Field at 1:30 p.m.
Seattle Public Schools superintendent Jose Banda originally declared that students who skip will suffer an attendance penalty, despite pleas from the city's mayor.
It is my hope that the school district will excuse absences for students who want to join their family during the #celebrate48 events
Ed Murray (@Mayor_Ed_Murray) February 04, 2014
"Parents who wish to take their students out of school can, but per state regulation, it will be treated as an unexcused absence," Banda said.
Banda backed down, however, and said principals can decide whether to excuse absences. Two private schools, Seattle Prep and Burien Kennedy Catholic High School, have canceled classes for Wednesday.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday that he hoped students would be excused.
Around 500,000 people are expected to attend Wednesday's parade. The streets are already starting to fill up.

Menopausal women don't get enough guidance on treatment options, Stanford survey shows
STANFORD, Calif. - Few women are consulting their doctors before opting to use herbal therapies and soy products to treat their menopausal symptoms, researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have found.The trend is of particular note because growing numbers of women are turning to alternative therapies to relieve such symptoms as hot flashes, headaches, mood swings and sleep disruptions because of concerns about health risks associated with hormone therapy, which is still considered the most effective way of treating such difficulties. The researchers recommend that physicians learn more about these products so that they can help their patients choose safe, effective methods of treating their symptoms.
"We're not promoting the use of these alternative therapies," said lead author Jun Ma, MD, PhD, research associate at the Stanford Prevention Research Center. "We're just saying that the demand for these therapies is growing and that physicians should be prepared to talk to their patients about it."
The study appears in the May/June issue of The Journal of the North American Menopause Society. The study was funded by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, which had no role in the study design, data collection or preparation of the manuscript for publication. The pharmaceutical company manufactures the herbal product RemiFemin Menopause.
The study was based on a 2004 online survey of a random sample of 781 U.S. women between the ages of 40 and 60. Because the sample size was small, Ma cautioned that the findings may not accurately represent all women, but said the data provide useful insights into women's attitudes toward menopause treatments and how much physician guidance they have received in deciding which therapies to use.
Among the women surveyed, nine out of 10 reported having experienced at least one menopausal symptom at some point. When it came to treating their symptoms, 37 percent reported using hormone therapy while slightly less than that - 31 percent - used herbal products. Soy supplements were used by 13 percent.
What interested Ma and her colleagues was that three-quarters of the women who had formerly taken hormone therapy said they stopped primarily because of concern about potential risks. "A majority of the women who had discontinued their hormone therapy were not on any therapy - not because of lack of need or desire to continue, but because they didn't know which therapy would best suit their clinical needs," Ma said.
The concerns about hormone therapy stem largely from the federally funded Women's Health Initiative, a long-term study that turned the conventional wisdom about hormone therapy on its head. For many years, observational studies indicated that in addition to relieving menopausal symptoms, hormone therapy helped protect women against heart disease. However, the WHI found that neither estrogen nor the combination of estrogen and progestin helped prevent heart disease. Instead, although both forms of hormone therapy offered some benefits in easing menopausal symptoms, they both posed substantial health risks.
Despite these risks, hormone therapy is still considered the most effective approach for treating menopausal symptoms. Women are advised to use the lowest possible dose of hormones and to limit the duration of the treatment in order to minimize the risks.
But the new study shows that many women are instead turning to herbal and soy products to ease their menopausal symptoms. The most commonly used herbal products reported by survey participants were ginkgo biloba, ginseng, St. John's wort, black cohosh or a combination product.
"The reduced use of menopausal hormone therapy, while an appropriate response to the WHI findings, has left both patients and their physicians in a difficult position," said Randall S. Stafford, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine and senior author of the study. "While other pharmaceuticals and alternative therapies are available, many physicians are not fully prepared to discuss these options, particularly given the limited data available about the effectiveness of these options."
Among the women who used herbal therapies, 55 percent chose the products because of concerns about hormone therapy while 45 percent said they wanted to use a natural remedy. But Ma said many women mistakenly equate the term "natural" with "safe," and falsely believe that herbal products won't interact with other medications. "That misperception really needs to be corrected," she said.
In fact, herbal products may have side effects. For instance, some studies have shown that St. John's wort interacts with selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, which are the most commonly prescribed class of antidepressants, and it is recommended that the two not be combined.
Additionally, Ma said there is little in the way of high-quality data on the efficacy of many of the alternative therapies, adding that most of the data are limited to short-term use of the products.
The women in the study regarded physicians as their most-trusted source of information about alternative therapies, yet many said they didn't get enough guidance in choosing a remedy for their menopausal symptoms. Nearly 75 percent of the women said that they - not their doctors - initiated discussions about possible treatments for their symptoms. And when it came to alternative therapies, 20 percent of the women weren't confident in their doctors' ability to discuss the treatments knowledgeably.
"Hormone therapy is unique in that patient preference is important in deciding what therapy to use," Ma said. "A balanced dialogue is essential because it's a treatment decision that a physician should make with a patient, not for a patient."
Ma suggested that physicians know enough about alternative menopause therapies to put them in four categories: those that have data suggesting some effectiveness, those that have data demonstrating concerns about side effects, those with neutral data and those lacking any data.
"It's OK to tell patients that little is known about a product, despite any anecdotal stories they may have heard. Anecdotal stories should not be taken as a substitute for rigorous clinical evidence," Ma said.

I wouldn't refer to myself as a maiden in any respect, save one: I kept my maiden name when I married.
It was 2005, not 1955, so I didn't really think it was a big deal. But everybody had something to say about it. Interestingly, the people who had the most adverse reaction were not my close friends and family, but peripherals: co-workers, sixth degree acquaintances, the woman in the bridal registry department at Marshall Field's. The strongest reaction I got from my inner circle was from my paternal grandmother, who called me "a stinker." The elderly. So profane.
In the wider world, I heard a lot of things along the lines of "Oh, well aren't you modern?" accompanied by eye-rolling. The subtext seemed to be "Who do you think you are?" By not changing my name on some paperwork, I was apparently symbolically burning my bra, donning combat boots and storming the Capitol. For the record, I firmly believe in bra support, but otherwise am in favor of Doc Martens and political marches.
No question that changing my name certainly came from my feminist ideology, but is this truly what passes for subversion? From the time I was in 8th grade, it was just something I knew I would (or rather, wouldn't) do. And there were other practical reasons, too. I'm a freelance writer and my byline is my business. It would have hurt my career to change it. Less important, though not inconsequential, is the fact that my first name almost rhymes with my husband's last name, and I didn't want to sound like a nursery rhyme. Hyphenating was not an option because our names, when united, basically mean "small weiner." No thanks.
My husband was initially a little bugged by it, but he realized it meant more to me than it did to him and he got over it quickly. I can honestly say that neither of us had given it much thought until we became parents and suddenly it was an issue again. For other people, not us. They ask things like, "What will you do when your son's friends call you Mrs.?" Seriously. What do they expect me to say? "I'm going to drop-kick that toddler out of my house, ask him what kind of mongrel raised him, then tell him not to return until he can address me correctly." Come on. Why would I get mad at a kid for being polite?
Another common question is, "Aren't you sad that everyone in your family has a different last name than you?" Quite the opposite, actually. Now that I'm a mom, so much of my life and identity is consumed by my life with the kids. I wouldn't have it any other way, but there is more to me than motherhood and my pre-baby name is a reminder of that time. I like that these two identities have unique names - a "Mrs." at school functions and a "Ms." in my professional life. The division is especially appealing on days spent covered in baby vomit, shuttling the kids and negotiating dinnertime. I remember the time in my life when I once got to go to the movie theater, brush my hair and, you know . . . pee alone.
My point, I guess, is that the decision whether or not to change your name is a very personal one that every woman needs to make for herself. I have friends who have changed in order to dump a cumbersome maiden name, and those that kept it because they simply didn't feel like waiting in line at the county office. It's not always a grandiose statement. But isn't that the whole point of a post-feminist world? We get to choose what we want to do, for whatever reason we want, without being coerced into it. "Stinkers" all.

He shows that most Italian diplomats and military personnel were strongly opposed to the policies of Nazi Germany toward the Jews, an enlightened attitude that resulted from a complicated mixture of economic, political, and cultural factors and especially the absence in Italy of the strong anti-Semitism found in Germany. This important study should be in academic libraries and in public libraries with strong Holocaust collections.—Dennis L. Noble, Eastern Montana Coll., Billings, Library Journal
A landmark study of the forces shaping Fascist Italys policies toward Jews in occupied territories during World War II.
The Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939 plunged the world into its second global conflict. The Third Reich's attack, mounted without consulting its Italian ally, had other reverberations as well. Chief among them was Mussolini's decision to conduct a "parallel war" based on his own tactical and political agendas. Against this backdrop, Daniel Carpi depicts the fate of some 5000 Jews in Tunisia and as many as 30,000 in southeastern France, all of whom came under the aegis of the Italian Fascist regime early in the war. Many were unskilled immigrants: still others were political refugees, activists, or anti-fascist emigres, the fuoriusciti who fled oppression in Italy only to find themselves under its rule once again after the fall of France. While the Fascist regime disagreed with Hitler's final solution for the "Jewish problem," it also saw actions by Vichy French police or German security forces against Jews in Italian-controlled regions as an erosion of Rome's power. Thus, although these Jews were not free from oppression, Carpi shows that as long as Italy maintained control over them its consular officials were able to block the arrests and mass deportations occurring elsewhere.

St Mary's Hospital transformed by 56m mural
Bridget Riley, the internationally recognised British artist, has completed a spectacular new mural at St Mary's Hospital in London.
The mural, measuring 56 metres long, was commissioned by Imperial College Healthcare Charity Art Collection for the 10th floor of the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother building.
"This means a lot to me because the doctors and nurses want it"
Bridget Riley
This work joins two others for the 8th and 9th floors completed by Ms Riley for the hospital over 20 years ago.
The murals feature saturated colours and flowing, rhythmic stripes, and are painted directly onto the hospital walls.
Ms Riley said: "They aim to lift the spirits and to remind one of life outside the hospital, while in no way interfering with the essential activities of the hospital as it goes about its business.
"They also have my work next to… the major trauma ward," she said. "This means a lot to me because the doctors and nurses want it and it reminds patients that theirs is a transitory state, that they are there to recover and re-join life – that life goes on, and life is outside-and they feel reassured."
Rosemary Harris, curator of Imperial's Charity Art Collection, said: "The hospital is privileged to have the commitment of such a great artist to create these really wonderful works.
"[They] have transformed the clinical environment into an uplifting and beautiful place for everyone to enjoy."

Very nice, but how much did this cost?
when I scanned the 56m in the index I thought that was the cost!
the problem is that it does not appeal to all tastes. the reality may be different but personally I find it rather nauseating and dizzy making which could be a lot worse if one is feeling unwell. I prefer plain calming and fairly neutral colours.Do we really have 56 million pounds to spare in the NHS? Who decided on this -it is lovely but how many staff could we pay for with this HUGE amount of money??????

56m (metres) long
I fell into the same trap but the cost is not disclosed
I don't think any hospital corridor wall could possibly be worth 56m - unless it was plated with gold leaf!
why not just cover it with graphiti and give work to some talented young street artists and creative patients. it would have been more interesting. some is amazing.Makes me dizzy looking at it. Not a peaceful or attractive sight
Fairly brain damaging, but better than our pictures of people eating at McDonalds for some reason.
great billboard and advertising space. they could put up some subliminal messages about diet and healthy eating and lifestyle!
Oh good Good
Where's the sick bags?It's kind of pretty, and certainly better than plain walls, but I'm not sure I buy into all that stuff about it "lifting spirits" and "reminding one of life outside the hospital". Wouldn't soothing pictures of nature do that better?
Joanna Rowntree | 15-Apr-2014 12:07 pm
YES, definitely - just like the new loos on Swiss trains with mountain scenery or clouds!
http://blog.sbb.ch/wc-welten/2013/02/04/"Mural"? It's a load of stripes.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by mrswalsh So soft!!
You know, I'd seen this jacket online and it was one of those items that sat in my shopping cart for a while (you do this, too!!!). And then I went to a store with a return and lo and behold, there it was hanging on a mannequin. I went up to it thinking it would be scratchy - like faux fur consistency and i couldn't take my hands off of it! SOO SOFT!! Like, a worn in t-shirt cut into a million pieces. It's super cute - chunky but in a smooth, silky way, fluffy like a poodle that needs a haircut. I can't wait for fall to wear this with some ripped up jeans and a little suede boot. If it's in your cart like it was mine - Pull the trigger! You will not be disappointed! I got the last one - this is a piece that will sell out.
Oh, also, I definitely like beige color more, the black is sort of an ocean of black - you look a bit like a grizzly... the sable is just creamy goodness.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Stegosaurus Truly unique
I ordered the black AND sand in size small since I couldn't decide by looking at the web photos. Now I am completely stuck because I want to keep both!! The sand color looks like it has more texture but the black will be very versatile with my wardrobe. That aside, the fit is just right on me for wearing long sleeves underneath...a necessity, since this jacket feels a touch itchy on my skin. It shed a small amount when I first put it on ( a few loose strands) and I will need to be careful with it. Love love love it.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by SarahJaneLong Looks Fabulous but Not Comfortable
Don't get me wrong, this jacket definitely makes a statement and I was so excited to try it on when it arrived in store. Unfortunately, when i put it on i immediately noticed the itchy material that lies on the inside of the jacket, despite the super soft feel of the shaggy material on the outside. However, I am a little sensitve to the certain materials on my skin and was also wearing a sleevless top when I tried it on! Also, once I removed the jacket after wearing it around for about 10 minutes I noticed a significant amount of shaggy material had shedded all over my clothes. I would recomend this jacket to you if you plan on always being fully-clothed underneath it to prevent itchy-irritation of skin and if you do not mind cleaning up your clothing after each wear.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fauxkiss Cozy and unique
I bought this in black and it's exactly what you see in the pictures. It's soft and fluffy. I ordered it in an XS as Free People tends to run on the larger side. After receiving it, I contemplated returning it for a Small for length, but decided to keep the XS since it really did fit fine. For reference, I'm 5'7", 122 lbs, size 4. But I have very long arms and legs for my height, so I'm always worried about sleeve length and tend to like my sleeves almost too long. Having said that though, the XS is fine in the arms as the shaggy part is longer than the sleeve. It's fantastic in black, I will probably order the light one as well since it's so unique and comfy. As the other reviewers have stated, it's a sweater, not a jacket. But I actually prefer that because then I can wear it indoors. Also, it's warm enough for CA winters outdoors, but probably not suited for cooler climates. I hope this review helps!
Rated 5 out of 5Â by buggsroo Shagelicious
Ok, I saw this jacket on a young person wearing it in an FP store and loved it. I tried it on at a department store and was pleasantly surprised at how great it looked. I took the plunge and ordered the beige one which is just beautiful. I have it now at home and though it is a tad itchy, I plan to wear layers under it. It brings back my hippie past but it is chic enough to rock in a modern sort of way. All in all a wonderful coup FP. Well Done!
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tori_24 so AMAZEBALLZ
oK so this was a bold purchase for me. A little out of my fashion bold zone, but when i saw it in the magazine and then tried it on at a store...i was sold. You have to be ready to rock this statement piece with confidence. It works over a dress or with tight black pants going out to a posh restaurant or bar/lounge. Did i mention its as soft as a baby bunny? I couldnt be happier with this purchase and i am glad i listened to my gut. Im 5'4" and about 105 lbs so i ordered the xs although the s would have fit nicely too. Don't let yourself think that you look like the next character from Monsters Inc movie....DO think of yourself as a hot model ready to take on the town. It is delicate, so handle with care.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tlmeyer1115 Fun and comfy
Bought the tan sweater and it is really a fun piece. The fabric is very soft and lays quite nicely despite a lot of volume. Stick a floppy felt hat on this one and it is a cute look.
Runs big.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kelly08 Somethign Different
I really like this jacket - just received so haven't worn it. Think it will look great with jeans, shoes, etc. I am 5' 7" and slim - bought xs white as I always buy black. Love it as it is smoething different and fun to wear!

The government has warned British tourists not to travel on buses in Tel Aviv.
The Foreign Office updated its travel advice concerning Israel on Friday morning, just over a week after a Palestinian terrorist stabbed 13 people on Tel Aviv's number 40 bus.
The story of most Jews in the UK, like those of many immigrants, began in East London. In the 19th century, Jewish immigrants fresh off the boat made their homes and businesses in the East End, near to both the trading hubs of the docks and the markets of the City.
When Boris Johnson met Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai in London, the talk was of building trade ties, improving public transport and bicycles.
At a private meeting at City Hall, both men flagged the success of their respective cities' rent-a-bike schemes.
After a lull of a few weeks, terror attacks resumed in Israel on Wednesday morning when a Palestinian from the West Bank town of Tulkarm boarded a bus in central Tel Aviv and began stabbing the driver and passengers. Eleven commuters and the driver were wounded, four of them in a severe condition.
Become a Lannister, Stark, Targaryen, or Baratheon and make your move for the Iron Throne in the dramatic, deadly world of Westeros.
For Game of Thrones fans in Tel Aviv, this dream will become a reality when an interactive exhibition of the HBO adaptation arrives in the city during Pesach, from April 5 - 9.
Three female rhinos escaped from Israel's safari zoo after a security guard fell asleep on the job.
The rhinos – named Rihanna, Keren Peles and Karnabella – made a run for it via the side gate at the zoo in Tel Aviv.
CCTV footage shows the rhinos making their escape before being chased by the guard. He was later fired.
She has made a name for herself on American reality TV show 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'.
Now, California-based Kourtney Kardashian is reportedly looking to buy a home in Israel.
According a report on Globes, Ms Kardashian and her partner, Scott Disick, are looking to buy a £20 million penthouse apartment in Tel Aviv, on the seafront.
One guest from abroad will be taking a particular interest in events at Warwick this year.
Israeli Tal Grunspan is chairman of the inaugural Limmud Tel Aviv, which is scheduled to take place over two days at a college in Jaffa next May.
An IDF soldier has been stabbed near a train station in Tel Aviv in what Israeli police are describing as a terror attack.
The soldier, who is 20 years old according to initial reports, was taken to Sheba Medical Centre, Tel Hashomer, in a critical condition.
The attacker was arrested after a struggle with police. He is reportedly a Palestinian from Nablus who entered Israel illegally.
"What IS she wearing?" Two Israeli girls, mouths open, heads craned, are sitting by the side of a deluxe swimming pool in Tel Aviv. The woman in question knows perfectly well that she is the subject of discussion. She smiles sleekly and preens herself. Her bikini is top-notch, her kaftan throw even notchier, and she sports the highest of heels.

Mayor opens Jubilee Walkway and launches walking plan
Ken Livingstone visited London Bridge City Pier near Hay's Galleria on Monday morning to inaugurate the revitalised Jubilee Walkway and launch London's Walking Plan.
The Mayor took a short walk from his City Hall headquarters to unveil a panoramic viewing panel on the riverside walkway and make a commemorative slab using his footprints.
The Jubilee Walkway is one of the capital's premier walking trails and one of London's six designated Strategic Routes identified in the Mayor's Transport Strategy.
The Walkway was first developed for The Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977 and The Jubilee Walkway Trust was then set up in 1978 as a charity to look after its interest in partnership with strategic and local authorities. The walkway has recently been extended and completed to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations in 2003 with a funding grant provided by Transport for London.
The London Walking Plan aims to encourage more people to walk short journeys and make trips over longer distances by a combination of walking and public transport.
The short-term target is to halt the decline in the number of journeys made on foot. The long-term 2015 targets are to increase the number of walking trips for under 2 miles by 10% on existing levels; to increase the average number of trips made on foot per person/per year by 10%; and to increase the level of London's 'walkability' both in terms of people's perceptions and in actual measured terms against other world cities.
Walking has declined by up to 20% in parts of London over the last decade. This has had a detrimental effect on the health and welfare of both individuals and communities, as well as adding to the problem of congestion within the city. If London is to continue to grow and prosper it's important that this trend is reversed.
"Making London an easier city to walk around will undoubtedly help to achieve both a better city to live in and a more prosperous economy" said Ken Livingstone.
"I'm delighted the Walking Plan has now been published and am confident that, with the continued support of Government, Transport for London can build on the capital's fantastic potential to become a truly world class city for pedestrians by 2015."

TMZ is reporting that R&B singer turned Gospel vocalist and Pastor Montel Jordan owes $627,987.06 to the IRS according to TMZ:
The "This Is How We Do It" star owes Uncle Sam back taxes for the years 1999-2001. According to the Federal Tax Lien filed against Jordan, the government first filed a lien against him in 2004 — but since he still hasn't paid up, they refiled it last month.
Looks like Montel better pay up! That's what Jesus would do! lol
