DENVER — Scott Carpenter, the second American to orbit the Earth, was guided by two instincts: overcoming fear and quenching his insatiable curiosity. He pioneered his way into the heights of space and the depths of the ocean floor.
"Conquering of fear is one of life's greatest pleasures and it can be done a lot of different places," he said.
His wife, Patty Barrett, said Carpenter died Thursday in a Denver hospice of complications from a September stroke. He lived in Vail.
Carpenter followed John Glenn into orbit, and it was Carpenter who gave him the historic sendoff: "Godspeed John Glenn." The two were the last survivors of the famed original Mercury 7 astronauts from the "Right Stuff" days of the early 1960s. Glenn is the only one left alive.
In his one flight, Carpenter missed his landing by 288 miles, leaving a nation on edge for an hour as it watched live and putting Carpenter on the outs with his NASA bosses. So Carpenter found a new place to explore: the ocean floor.
He was the only person who was both an astronaut and an aquanaut, exploring the old ocean and what President John F. Kennedy called "the new ocean" — space.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said Thursday that Carpenter "was in the vanguard of our space program — the pioneers who set the tone for our nation's pioneering efforts beyond Earth and accomplished so much for our nation. … We will miss his passion, his talent and his lifelong commitment to exploration."
The launch into space was nerve-racking for the Navy pilot on the morning of May 24, 1962.
"You're looking out at a totally black sky, seeing an altimeter reading of 90,000 feet and realize you are going straight up. And the thought crossed my mind: What am I doing?" Carpenter said 49 years later in a joint lecture with Glenn at the Smithsonian Institution.
For Carpenter, the momentary fear was worth it, he said in 2011: "The view of Mother Earth and the weightlessness is an addictive combination of senses."
For the veteran Navy officer, flying in space or diving to the ocean floor was more than a calling. In 1959, soon after being chosen one of NASA's pioneering seven astronauts, Carpenter wrote about his hopes, concluding: "This is something I would willingly give my life for."
"Curiosity is a thread that goes through all of my activity," he told a NASA historian in 1999. "Satisfying curiosity ranks No. 2 in my book behind conquering a fear."
Even before Carpenter ventured into space, he made history on Feb. 20, 1962, when he gave his Glenn sendoff. It was a spur of the moment phrase, Carpenter later said.
Three months later, Carpenter was launched into space from Cape Canaveral, Fla., and completed three orbits around Earth in his space capsule, the Aurora 7, which he named after the celestial event. It was just a coincidence, Carpenter said, that he grew up in Boulder, Colo., on the corner of Aurora Avenue and 7th Street.
His trip led to many discoveries about spacecraft navigation and space itself, such as that space offers almost no resistance, which he found out by trailing a balloon. Carpenter said astronauts in the Mercury program found most of their motivation from the space race with the Russians. When he completed his orbit of the Earth, he said he thought: "Hooray, we're tied with the Soviets," who had completed two manned orbits at that time.
Things started to go wrong on re-entry. He was low on fuel and a key instrument that tells the pilot which way the capsule is pointing malfunctioned, forcing Carpenter to manually take over control of the landing.
NASA's Mission Control then announced that he would overshoot his landing zone by more than 200 miles and, worse, they had lost contact with him.
Talking to a suddenly solemn nation, CBS newsman Walter Cronkite said, "We may have … lost an astronaut."
Carpenter survived the landing that day.

Collective Identities: Policies and Poetics Feb. 18 2011full name / name of organization: CUNY Graduate Center PhD Program in French contact email: firstname.lastname@example.com "[A] mode of writing is an act of historical solidarity…it is the relationship between creation and society, the literary language transformed by its social finality, form considered as human intention and thus linked to the great crises of History." - Roland Barthes Over recent decades, scholars have confronted the notion of collective identity through discourses about transnationalism, cosmopolitanism, multiculturalism, and globalization. Such preoccupations with notions of collective identity have taken on deeper significance in the contexts of geopolitical upheavals such as wars and natural disasters as well as localized tensions generated by boundary-challenging (intra-national) conflicts related to issues of race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. This conference will examine the policies and poetics that form, deform, and otherwise shape and govern collective identities from all periods and areas of French language verbal and visual culture. We welcome submissions that respond to or posit questions such as: Historically, how have poetics created, transformed, subverted, ignored, or destroyed collective identities? Are poetics of collective identity inextricable from politics, or do they sometimes interrelate as independent or interdependent processes? Is there room for the individual in a poetics of community? Finally, what are the qualities that might define these poetics? Which styles, structures or forms, written or visual, have been used to articulate collective identities? Possible topics include (but are not limited to): - The emergence of collective identities/communities We welcome abstracts from diverse theoretical and critical backgrounds such as (but not limited to) gender studies, post/colonial studies, and queer studies. Please send abstracts of 200-300 words to Tim Wilson and Chris Brandon, email@example.com. Presentations will be limited to 15-20 minutes in length and participation is limited to graduate students. Abstracts and presentations may be in French or English. Deadline for abstracts: December 15th, 2010. cfp categories: cultural_studies_and_historical_approaches eighteenth_century ethnicity_and_national_identity film_and_television gender_studies_and_sexuality graduate_conferences interdisciplinary journals_and_collections_of_essays medieval modernist studies poetry postcolonial renaissance romantic theatre theory travel_writing twentieth_century_and_beyond

Levi's Vintage Clothing Contest

6 Responses to "Levi's Vintage Clothing Contest"
I bought my Levi's at a secondhand store. They are gray with a button fly. They used to be too small. A year ago I bought them two sizes too small so I'd have a reason to get in shape. My Levi's have been subjected to Everything from spilled soda to being covered in mud
Hi Nick – please email your entry to firstname.lastname@example.com – thanks!
Freshman year, in need of some new (old) 501′s, I went to my usual the hole in the wall, literally, in Berkeley. Not so much a store as a mound of denim in a 10 x 10 space. Like a treasuer hunt, I'd tell the grumpy/charming owner my size and what i was looking for, and she'd pull out the perfect well worn pair out of the pile. For a year I wore them as is with old vans or cowboy boots…the next year rolled up with combat boots or flats….after that I pegged them (precurser to skinny jeans) and wore them with heels or sandals. As I changed, so did my second skin. After high school no amount of patching could hold the knees together, so they morphed into…cutoffs. Perfect. Years- many years later, I still wear them.
Hi Kristin – in order to enter the contest, please submit your story to email@example.com. Thanks!
My favorite levi's jeans were my step-father's from the early 80′s. I've had them since around 1994 and have since converted them to cut-offs. They are my go to summer shorts for beach days and running errands around the city.
Hi Vanessa – in order to enter the contest, please email your story to email@example.com

Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol seem, at least on the surface, to have a complicated relationship. Bryant knows that he would not have won the two championships in 2009 and 2010 without Gasol. But Gasol's problems with toughness and consistency in the playoffs the past two seasons has created a level of frustration. Bryant has publicly and reportedly privately challenged Gasol to bring more and been disappointed with what has wound up on the floor.
But in a media appearance in Barcelona with Team USA, Bryant stuck up for Gasol, telling reporters:
Kobe, answering a question from a Spanish reporter about Pau's status with the Lakers: "As long as I'm there, he's going to be there."
via Twitter / briancmahoney: Kobe, answering a question ….
Funny thing… that's not really Bryant's call.
I know, I know, he's Kobe Bryant, arguably the second-greatest-to-greatest Laker that ever lived which is a lot bigger of a deal than second-greatest-to-greatest Minnesota Timberwolf to ever live, but the thing with playing for a franchise that great? It knows it and puts itself above any player's demands. If the Lakers decide to head in a different direction, that's what they'll do. Furthermore, if it means adding Dwight Howard or improving his chances for a sixth title which is constantly taunting him, Bryant won't mind.
But it is good to see Bryant sticking up for a teammate, and supporting him like he needs to. Maybe Kobe just needed a few weeks to get over the loss to the Thunder and how Serge Ibaka outplayed Gasol.
Unless Gasol winds up crashing and burning in another playoff series. Then he should probably look into the witness protection program.

Kobe and Pau are $wingers, I got three lakers ahead of kobe him and I am far from ever being a laker fan.
- etforick - Jul 21, 2012 at 7:40 PM
I have Wilt the Stilt as the best ever, anywhere – followed by Kareem Abdul Jabar, Magic and then maybe Kobe, matbe Jerry West….and I like Kobe
- camnellum12 - Jul 21, 2012 at 4:26 PM
I might be all alone on this one, but I see Kobe tied with Magic in terms of franchise greatness. Both brought 5 titles in 10 years, won back-to-backs, had illustrious careers wearing purple and yellow. Plus, Kobe will own most of the major records Laker history, so I see Magic as 1. and Kobe as 1A
- mrlitl - Jul 21, 2012 at 4:29 PM
I agree. 1 and 1 A. No denying Kobe's greatness. Idiocy aside.
- smoothaswilkes - Jul 21, 2012 at 4:39 PM
Matt – while you are correct, it's not Kobe's call but it seems like that is the direction of the franchise nonetheless. The Lakers seem to be loading up for a 2-3 year run. Just look at their new contracts and what is already on the books. Nothing goes past 3 years right now meaning once all these old timers (Nash, Gasol, MWP, Kobe) take smaller contracts or retire or otherwise, they'll be completely out from the cap hell they are in now and will be able to pull a Miami move and sign 3 max players or build around the youngsters and Howard or Bynum. Moving Gasol now doesn't make any sense whatsoever! They won't get be value and they lose a key piece of the rotation that can exploit what Nash brings to the table.
And. while I'm certainly not a Gasol apologist, he's a proven veteran that goes about his business and still averaged 17/10 over 65 of 66 games last year. Now that the Lakers have some depth as his position maybe he won't tire out in the playoffs like he has the last few years.
- BigBeachBall - Jul 21, 2012 at 5:00 PM
"As long as I'm playing here, Gasol will have a job on my team. "
– or until he acts up like Shaq or Bynum… then he's cut..
- moseskkim - Jul 21, 2012 at 5:53 PM
What's he gonna say in Barcelona about pau? Yeah he has one more year left to prove himself. Or yeah I wish we had gotten cp3. I don't know their relationship but I know pau has seemed out of it and I would too if I were constantly in trade rumors. With Nash around tho, Nash and pau can become a deadly pick n roll combo
- misterdreamer119 - Jul 21, 2012 at 7:05 PM
Bryant has insane work ethic, tremendous talent. But he needs to shut it. And pass the ball instead of eating the all the shot clock.
- kash71 - Jul 21, 2012 at 8:32 PM
To me the number 1 Laker will be Chick Hearn. Those of you who have grown up listening to him, should understand where I am coming from.
God rest his soul.
- davidly - Jul 21, 2012 at 8:40 PM
He's Kobe Bryant, arguably the sixth-greatest Laker that ever lived.

- davidcl77 - Jul 21, 2012 at 9:27 PM
Like he has anything to do with whether Gasol stays or not.
Kobe is aging daily and he knows it, so he's started making foolish comments like some elders do.
His Lakers had the Thunder up by 7 with a few minutes to go and they lost. Kobe can't do the job like he used to. Face it….. Father time is here now.
He looks old on Team USA, and as for that ignorant comment about them beating the Dream Team……. Well…. I rest my case.
Shut it, Kobe. You are showing your ignorance. Just play and try to keep the young guys from kicking that old ass.

EMILY GRAVETT WINS 2005 CILIP KATE GREENAWAY MEDAL FOR HER FIRST PICTURE BOOK Newcomer Emily Gravett has scooped the 2005 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal, the UK's oldest and most prestigious award for children's book illustration for her first book, Wolves. Emily, a former traveller who spent eight years on the road after leaving school at 16 with almost no formal qualifications, graduated from Brighton University's Illustration degree course just two years ago in 2004. Her career as a picture book illustrator took off immediately when she won the 2004 Macmillan Prize for Illustration for Wolves and a publishing deal followed. The book has already been widely acclaimed both in the UK, and internationally, with rights sold in five countries. In Wolves (a book which follows the National Carroticulum) a naive rabbit visits West Bucks library and "burrows" a book about wolves. By the time he discovers that wolves are not the creatures of fairy tales whose favourite food is small girls in red hoods, it is too late. And soon, an overdue notice from the library is plopping onto the doormat at Lane's End Burrow in Nibbleswick, to lie with a lot of other unread mail. Removable letters and tickets add to the fun, and the book is packed with visual jokes. Teresa Scragg, Chair of the CILIP Kate Greenaway judging panel comments: "The attention to detail throughout "Wolves" is astonishing. Every millimetre is perfect. It was obviously created with great love as well as talent, and the result is a book which works on many levels, and which can be enjoyed again and again. For a first picture book it shows an extraordinary maturity and assurance in its handling of different techniques. And it's about a library book which just makes us all the more fond of it - though it didn't influence our decision!".. Emily Gravett was born in 1972 in Brighton. She left school with few qualifications and spent 8 years living on the road (in a variety of vehicles including a truck, a caravan and an RAF petrol bus called Toby Diesel) before returning to Brighton and going to university there. She still lives in Brighton with her 9 year-old daughter Oleander and partner Mik. Emily's delightful second book, Orange Pear Apple Bear came out in March 2006, and her third, Meerkat Mail will be published in August. The CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal, established in 1956 and named in honour of the distinguished illustrator is awarded for "outstanding illustration in a children's book". Sister award to the CILIP Carnegie Medal, it is judged by an expert panel of children's librarians from the Youth Libraries Group (YLG), and follows the same unique process of nomination, and judging. Since the bequest left in 2000 by children's book and illustration collector, Colin Mears, the winner receives a cheque for Ł5,000 in addition to the coveted medal. Distinguished former winners of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal, which celebrates its 50th birthday in 2007, include Shirley Hughes, Raymond Briggs and Quentin Blake. The shortlist for the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2005 was: TONY DiTERLIZZI EMILY GRAVETT MINI GREY OLIVER

written by Angelic on August 20, 2010 It was E.M. Forster, of course, who scripted that immortal, oft-abbreviated imperative: "Only connect, and the beast and the monk, robbed of the isolation that is life to either, will die." But had Forster lived to see the advent of something like the Internet, would he have been so quick to admonish the life bestial or monastic? As I write this, I am not nor have I ever been a member of those ubiquitous online communities known as Facebook and Twitter, which have separately and together transformed millions of us into the stars of our own reality shows, complete with "friends" and "followers" tuned into our every banal thought or change of mood, and where human popularity is tabulated in numbers as readily as the weekly box-office returns. In my Luddite way, I harbor a healthy suspicion for any technology whose adopters seem more its slaves than its masters. Above all, I cling foolhardily to the belief that the more time-honored methods of human interaction maintain a slight edge over the electronic ones. Indeed, though we may now live in public, we seem to see rather less of one another. On the other hand, half a billion people can't be wrong—or, rather, they can, but good luck convincing them of it. A scant seven years into its existence, Facebook is already an inevitability, a cultural axiom. Among other things, it is said to have played a role in rallying America's youth for the 2008 election (even if some of those youths were actually the fictitious avatars of middle-aged men and women seeking a little masked-ball escapism, or something more sinister). Nor is its reach limited to these shores: recently, Facebook was banned in Pakistan for supposed trespasses against Islam, which is no small achievement for a website that traces its origins back to an Ivy League social misfit's drunken act of revenge against a girl who spurned him. Like so many historic achievements in arts, letters, and commerce, Facebook was born of a romantic rejection. • Read full story » written by Angelic on August 20, 2010 Filed in 'The Social Network' • 0 Comments

written by Angelic on August 19, 2010 Rooney Mara has been cast as the lead in the Americanized take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and that should be a big deal, except no one really knows who Rooney Mara is. The 25-year-old New Yorker has only been working since 2005, mostly in smaller roles. She had a big part inYouth in Revolt but I'm not sure that was really the place to showcase her ability. She'll be in The Social Network, but that's still a ways off. If you're really interested in checking out what Mara's capable of, then you'll want to check outThe Winning Season when it's released on September 3rd. The movie stars Sam Rockwell as an alcoholic turned girls basketball coach. Mara is one of his more troublesome team members, with a penchant for dating older dudes. Embedded below is a snippet from one of her more pivotal scenes in the film, in which she makes out with an older dude and Rockwell responds by kicking his ass. It's good. Take a look: If David Fincher's take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is at all faithful to its source material Mara will have to put up with a lot more than creepy, older dude tongue. But it's easy to imagine her looking the part of Lisbeth Salander. It's hard to imagine her or anyone else being as good as Noomi Rapace, who played the character in the Swedish version, but I have a sneaking suspicion she'll actually be good.

Little about Manchette's work could be called ordinary. Between 1971 and 1982, Manchette wrote 10 crime novels, twisting standard noir plotlines into tightly woven, cutting political critiques, and in the process giving new life to a genre that had been stagnating in France since the '50s. Dubbed the father of the neo-polar, the new French crime novel, Manchette abandoned the genre in the 1980s, in the last decade of his life, writing for television and film and translating American thrillers by the likes of Ross Thomas and Donald Westlake. He fell to cancer in 1995, but has himself seen something of a rebirth in the years since. In France, Gallimard reissued several of his novels throughout the late '90s. An unfinished novel set in Castro's Cuba was published there in 1999, and a biography in 2000. Two of Manchette's novels are now available in English: City Lights releases the aforementioned The Prone Gunman (1981) this month, and published 1976's Three to Kill earlier this year.
Jean-François Gérault, Manchette's biographer, calls him "the French Chandler," but old red Hammett is probably a better match. Manchette was active in Communist circles throughout the '60s, and turned toward Situationism in 1967 after reading The Society of the Spectacle. Echoes of Debord survive in his fiction ("It was all shit," he writes in Three to Kill. "He would so much rather have been in a place where he could see things around him that were not in his own image, where everything did not speak to him of himself"), as does a wryly vulgar Marxism, but the general outlook of his books is crushingly devoid of revolutionary hopes. Manchette's characters lurch about in the bitter desolation felt by the generation of '68 in the years after their revolt crumbled, in a world where the ritualized battles between equally complacent classes only help disguise a shared alienation.
Thus Georges Gerfaut, Three to Kill's hapless protagonist, is a former radical now working for a subsidiary of a giant multinational, living a cushy bourgeois family life, with nothing of his militant past remaining but a vague "clutch of left-wing ideas." Georges happens across a murder ordered by a retired Dominican torturer, does his best to ignore it, but is torn nonetheless from his emptily perfect life by the efforts of a pair of vicious but bumbling hit men. It's an old storyline, but Manchette tweaks it playfully, and to no predictable end. Neither Georges's class consciousness nor an appreciation for the yuppie good life are awakened by the experience, only insubstantial longings and a capability for brutality he didn't know he had.
As tongue-in-cheek as much of Three to Kill may be, Manchette took crime writing seriously. He wrote critically and extensively about what he archly called "this little sub-literary form," locating its roots in "the worldwide triumph of counter-revolution between 1920 and 1950," a triumph, he wrote, that the "dominant ideology" would prefer to ignore. The tensions left in the wake of this victory, howeverall the class fissures that accompany capitalism along its supposedly inevitable marchgave birth to the crime novel, which Manchette would ordain "the great moral literature of our era."
By "moral," Manchette means something quite different from the subtle didacticism of the conventional novel, which continues to show its religious roots under the guise of character development, insisting, in the end, on some variety of spiritual transformation for its protagonist. Manchette's characters, by contrast, are never in control of their destinies, and cannot even see the forces shaping them. Three to Kill's Gerfaut remains baffled to the very end, and even the title of The Prone Gunman suggests its hero's basic helplessness.
Manchette fights off all temptations toward sentimental humanism by refusing to provide even a glimpse at his characters' inner workings. This happens in an embryonic way in Three to Kill ("He was thinking that the blood would soil the leather upholstery; or perhaps he was thinking nothing"), but is full-blown in The Prone Gunman. Drawing on Robbe-Grillet as much as James M. Cain, Manchette describes his characters with the same wealth of external detail, icily delivered, that he uses for apartment decor or a hi-fi system. We learn what kind of car they drive, and what gun they carry, but when it comes to motivation or emotion, the narrator is as clueless as we are: "His haggard face at first registered great perplexity; then it registered worry, thoughtfulness, or whatever other movements of consciousness that might cause his face to look as it did."
The Prone Gunman, the last crime novel Manchette wrote, mixes two well-worn plotlines to cruelly ironic effect: the hit man who wants out of the game and the working-class boy made good who comes home to claim his girl. Martin Terrier grows up poor in a puddle of a provincial town, and has the misfortune to fall for the daughter of the town's one factory owner, who forbids him from seeing her and sends him packing through the service entrance. Young Terrier makes his love promise to wait 10 years for him, swearing, "I will return, I will kill them, I will drag them through the shit, I will make them eat shit." He does, but not in quite the way he had hoped: When the decade is up, Terrier, an accomplished assassin, wants to break free from his employera CIA-like American group referred to only as "the company"and whisk away his old lover, now an alcoholic housewife who finds him absurd. The company, of course, does not want to let Terrier go, and blood and mayhem follow him home.
If The Prone Gunman is a brutal book, it's not just the violence that makes it so, though there are bits of brains all over, thoracic cages blown bare of flesh, intestines that empty noisily as bullets pierce their owners. The deeper brutality is one of tone and vision, of a conquered world bereft of choice and hope. Terrier's former boss mocks his dreams of flight: "There's no place good anymore," he says. "There's nowhere to go." If in the mid '70s Manchette could still write bitter satire, by the early '80s despair had set in, and, having mastered the genre, he bowed out. There was no place left to go.

Want to be a FF
This is my first post so take it easy guys. Im 22 and graduating from college next semester(business major) but within the last couple of years I have decided I want to be a firefighter. Next semester im taking only 2 classes to finish my major and I also enrolled at a local community college for my EMT. I see posts about getting a FF1 and 2 cert. I was wondering where I could get these. I realize I should prob know the answer to this question but I dont so thats why im asking. In addition this summer Im getting my rescue diver cert. I have everything I need leading up to this so its just one more step. I realize that paramedics have a better chance of getting the job than do EMTs but I cant afford 2 more years of school maybe in the future I will get it. Is there anything else you guys would recomend to better my chances
Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance

I'm not sure...
I 'm not sure which particular department you're trying to hire on with but some FD will actually train you to become a EMT B, I, A. The FD I'm with requires you to be a EMT B but that's part of our academy, so when you graduate you'll have the certification. Cadets with an EMT certification already are way ahead of the curve. As for the FF certifications, I believe some community colleges offer courses as well.

Victorinox Forschner Forged Cutlery Offset Bread and Sandwich Knife 8" Blade in Gift Box - 7.7433.21
Part Number: | VN00020 |
Manufacturer: | Victorinox Kitchen |
Victorinox Forged Kitchen Cutlery
Knife with regular serrations ideal for cutting and slicing materials with firm rinds or hard crusts, for example bread, tomatoes or pork rind. The offset handle ensures that a cook's knuckles will not touch the cutting surface when the blade has cut all the way through the food. These are especially popular with chefs.
"Perfectly balanced" are the best words to describe the forged kitchen knife range from Victorinox, the knife manufacturer from the Swiss Knife Valley.
With ergonomic handles and excellent steel, these knives are beautiful to look at and elegantly shaped. They are forged in Solingen, Germany, according to the specifications of the Victorinox designers. Not only are these knives attractive in appearance, they are also perfectly suited to every kitchen application.
The renowned Victorinox sharpness is guaranteed with all these knives, as the blades are sharpened twice and the blade edges laser tested.
Because a single knife cannot do every job, Victorinox supplies a range of tools to perfectly meet every requirement. For preparing and cutting small vegetables, a short, rigid blade is required. For cutting bread and tomatoes or carving a roast, a serrated knife is the recommended tool. For effortless slicing, kitchen professionals need a knife with a smooth blade, and a large kitchen knife is a useful tool not just for cutting, but also for finely chopping herbs and onions. Kitchen knives and Santoku knives are truly multi-functional tools and invaluable kitchen helpers. See Victorinox kitchen cutlery here.
It is of course possible to clean the knives in a dishwasher -- However, there are disadvantages to this method of cleaning.
In the dishwasher, knives and cutlery are placed in a basket. There is a risk that the knives may knock against each other during the cleaning cycle and become blunt. This can also happen if sharp knifes cut into the plastic coating of the dishwasher.
If you want to give your knives the best care and attention, it is best to clean them immediately after use with warm water, a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid.
The original steel Capital of the World: Solingen, Germany produces some of the best Kitchen knives and straight razors money can buy.
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.

Why did you choose this product?
This is a nice rod, works mostly OK. The main problem I have is that you cannot lock the rod in place. To extend you have to use an "unscrew" motion with both rods, which is fine, but it never locks. So once you get it the right length and push it in, but any movements to the rod seem to cause it "screw" together on its own, causing the rod + curtain to fall. This happens much more often if you are using it in a place where you draw and undraw curtains often. If its not going to be touched, it will be fine.

good hold for a larger window This tension rod holds pretty good on a 80+ inch window. It did slide down about 1/4 of an inch, but otherwise- it has stayed in place and is able to hold 2 blackout patterned window panel curtains. I was not able to use the screw mount on my window due to the metal in the window frame; however, the tension holds well without having to screw it to the window/wall.

Sturdy and attractive support hook This rod will work well for spanning a space between a bedroom and sun room that has no trim or frame work so this tension rod will be perfect. The support hook is attractive and will help support the rod if I choose to use heavier curtains for insulation from the sun room heat/cold. It has black rubber pads which I worried would show on the white rod but they don't seem noticeable at the height I have the rod placed.

Not recommended In addition to the bracket sagging in the middle when spanning a 60 inch window, you cannot use a center bracket for a cafe curtain. This rod is represented as a 52-90 inch tension rod, however it will not hold up even with short, very light weight curtains. Also the large ends do not allow you to position the rod to the top of the window thus leaving a large unattractive gap. This tension rod does not hold up particularly compared to a shower curtain wide over a span greater than 60 inches.

Not recommended review. I am disappointed in this rod. It feels flimsy and I am concerned once I hang my heavier curtain on it it may bend; my space is six feet. The rubber at the end of the rods is black and rubs off on the frame work; it will wash off however once you get your rod in place. I am sorry I bought this item and do not recommend it.

Great Product I bought these curtain rods to hang on the ceiling over skylights. I bought insulated curtains and used these rods to hang them up. They work perfectly, the curtains stay up and the rods have not slipped. My husband hung the rods and made sure they were tightly in place. The space where we hung them is over seven feet long and we did NOT screw into the walls (just spring rod tension mounted) - still hanging! I definitely recommend this rod.

Curtain rod just what we were looking for! We just installed new windows in our home and did not want to drill holes into the new woodwork to hang our old rod. We needed a spring loaded rod to fit an 84" long window. Others we tried were ugly and chincy, they sagged in the middle with the weight of the curtain. This rod is perfect. It is sturdy, has one small center support to prevent sag and does so well. I liked that it came in different colors and it looks nice in the living room. I did not have to get new hooks for the curtains and the rod is holding fairly heavy curtains without sagging. I would highly recommend this product.

good quality, easy to install Rod is good quality, and sturdy. I installed it in an opening of about 72 inches, for a short valence, and did not use the center support provided. It is solid with no visible sag over that large opening. I like the fact that it can be screw-mounted if desired, but it's not needed.

How to Adjust Tension Rods
Curtains are a great way to accent the decor in every room in the house. Tension rods, also called spring rods, are curtain hardware which allow you to hang window curtains, wall curtains or shower curtains without installing curtain rod hardware on the walls. If an existing tension rod slips or if you want to change the curtain panels or add curtain rings, you may need to remove and adjust the rod before putting it back in place. Tension rods are positioned between two facing surfaces, such as the interior frame of a window or the opposing sides of a shower cubicle.
How to Hang a Curtain Rod from the Ceiling
Hanging a curtain rod from the ceiling is an innovative and simple way to add drama to any room. This method can make ceilings appear higher, add interest to otherwise boring windows or act as a room divider with the right curtains. Whether you want a double curtain rod for hanging layered curtains, a wooden curtain rod for a rustic vibe or an iron curtain rod for a traditional look, the following suggestions will help you install the right rod and hardware.
Tips on Buying Curtain Rods
Update your living room, bedroom or kitchen when you buy curtain rods to hang your new window treatments. Whether you need corner curtain rods to dress up a corner window or a swing-arm curtain rod to create a partition in your studio apartment, you're sure to find the right rods and curtain hardware for your space with the following suggestions. Read on for tips on buying curtain rods.
Best Curtain Rod for a Bay Window
It's easy to add draperies to a wide bay window with a sturdy curtain rod. Since bay windows feature several panes of glass that form a curved polygonal shape, it can be a challenge to find the right curtain rods. Fortunately, this guide will help you find the right curtain rod for your space, whether you want a double curtain rod for layering your curtains or a swing-arm curtain rod you can pull away from the window. Read on for tips on finding the best curtain rod for a bay window.
How to Hang a Valance and Curtains
Hanging a valance and curtains over your window will add dimension, texture and style to any room. Window curtains with a valance give your window treatments a finished, designer look. If you want to block out light, a valance and full-length blackout panel curtain is your best choice. If you are more interested in decoration and only need to block minimal light, then a valance over sheer curtains is a good choice. It's important to measure the window and decide what type of curtains you want before you buy the curtain hardware. A cafe rod will be sufficient to support a sheer curtain, but you will need a stronger curtain rod to support heavier fabrics such as blackout panels. Also, the larger the window, the sturdier the curtain rod will need to be.
Curtain Rods for Every Style

How to Measure for Curtains
Curtains add privacy and style to a room, but before you buy a set, you'll need to know which size is right. You'll find that curtains usually come in lengths of 63 inches, 84 inches, 95 inches, 108 inches, and 120 inches. The length you choose will depend on the look that you want as well as the placement of your curtain rod.
Top 5 Curtain Rods for Formal Living Rooms

The basic style of this curtain hardware staple is a single wire folded against itself; one end has a sharp prong and the other end is bent into a curved hook. In fact, these hooks, also known as drapery pins, almost look like large fishing hooks. Variations of this type of curtain hardware include additional prongs, angled hooks and blunt tips. All drapery pins and hooks work the same way, and the technique is fairly easy to master. If you're looking for a simple window treatment project, these hooks are the ideal drapery hardware because you can successfully hang drapes and curtains with them without a lot of time, hassle or tools. Read on for instructions on hanging drapery hooks in your windows.

How to Add a Claw Foot Tub Enclosure
You can add a lot of old-fashioned charm to your bathroom with a claw foot tub and shower enclosure. Once you have the bathtub and plumbing fixtures installed, it's time to set up the frame for the shower curtain. With a normal tub, you could just rely on a shower rod between two walls, but a clawfoot tub is usually set away from the wall in an open area, which means the shower curtain rail will need to cover the entire bath tub perimeter. And that can require a custom enclosure frame for your unique claw foot tub. Here are a few steps to help you install it.

Document Type
This study examines the effect of persuasion knowledge and cognitive busyness on attitude toward a brand embedded in a popular movie. Product placement is filling an increasingly important role in marketing strategy as conventional techniques have been rendered ineffective by their own ubiquity. Cognitive busyness was hypothesized to cause a product placement message to be processed on a superficial, peripheral level. If joined with persuasion knowledge, the subject's lack of ability to devote resources to critically evaluate the message would activate compartmentalized knowledge of products and brands increasing the ease of this information's mental accessibility and thus aid the formation of favorable brand attitudes. A controlled laboratory experiment reveals that when viewers watch the movie in a natural setting, viewers with persuasion knowledge exhibit lower attitude toward the placed brand than viewers without persuasion knowledge. However, such backlash brand-damaging effects are absent, if not reversed, when viewers watch the movie in a cognitively busy setting.

29th Annual Memorial Service Honors Officers' Sacrifice
WASHINGTON, DC — On May 15th, the Fraternal Order of Police and its Auxiliary will gather on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol to honor the one hundred and twenty-three (123) law enforcement officers who gave their lives in the line of duty. The National Peace Officers' Memorial Service is the capstone event of National Police Week, which began this year on 10th May.
Chuck Canterbury, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, will host the event, which will feature a keynote address by the President of the United States, Barack H. Obama II. Country music star Lee Ann Womack will perform a musical tribute in honor of the fallen officers and their surviving family members, colleagues, and friends who will be in attendance.
"Every year, the FOP and its extended law enforcement family come together on this day to remember, to reflect, and to honor our fallen heroes," Canterbury said. "In sharing our grief, we find the strength to renew our commitment to serve and protect our families, our communities, and our nation."
During National Police Week, thousands of law enforcement officers in every region of the nation gather at memorial services to honor their fallen colleagues. More than 25,000 officers, as well as the surviving family members and friends of slain officers, have traveled to the nation's capital to attend the 29th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service, which is the nation's largest and most prominent memorial service held on behalf of fallen law enforcement officers.
John F. Kennedy
In October 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15th as National Peace Officers' Memorial Day. Since the signing of this proclamation, this date has been the official day of recognition for law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the performance of their duty.
This is the 29th year that the Fraternal Order of Police and its Auxiliary have held the National Peace Officers' Memorial Service.
The Fraternal Order of Police is the largest law enforcement labor organization in the United States, with more than 327,000 members.

After serving time, most convicted felons and sex offenders are free to pick up jobs that could put them in neighborhoods where children play. Fun State pools manager Mike Canto said about two weeks ago a man applied for a job that would have put him right in customer's backyards. He did something that TV20 found out is not as common as you might think. Canto checked him out and found out the man was a convicted child molester.
"It is surprising especially when I think that most of the people we build pools for have children... that is alarming to me. I think that should be a question asked more often," said Canto.

"Last year he picked David Cook," MJ said. "He loved Fantasia and Carrie Underwood; he beat the drum for them all the way through."
It's no accident. Lambert clearly has the charisma and talent to do the "American Idol" title proud. No matter what viewers/voters think, if the show's judges and producers are confident Lambert will sell records once he scores his prize -- a contract with "Idol" affiliated label 19 Entertainment -- it's in their best interests to throw all their support behind him.
"They have an idea of who they want," MJ said. "It makes them look smart to pick the winner ahead of time."

Benefit Girl Meets Pearl
Bella Sugar Australia and my mate Iris bring the word of something new from Benefit.
Benefit Girl Meets Pearl is a raspberry scented Golden Pink Liquid Highlighter much like Benefit High Beam and sporting the same package as Benefit That Girl Primer.
I think they had me at raspberry scented but than I heard golden pink and I get all kinds of hyper. I dunno if I can make it work but damn sure I'll have fun trying!
Let's hope we see it on our shores soon.
What do you think?
8/18/10 12:09 jenna:
oh my! i don't know if its the packaging, cute name, raspberry scent, or the fact that it's "liquid pearl for the face" WHO doesn't want liquid face pearls?! i sure do.
but sadly i don't think i will realistically be able to work with a pink liquid highlighter liquid colours on my face are not my friend. sigh.
8/18/10 12:17 the Muse:
LOL jenna tell me 'bout it No me either plus my skills at application are such a FAIL but I'd prob get it just b/c it smells sweet lol..how diseased!
8/18/10 12:34 mon:
Yes for the raspberry scent! I hate the smell of raspberry so this is one product Benefit is making me NOT want! lol Love and look forward to your posts. Take care!
8/18/10 12:36 the Muse:
hi mon! HA it saved your money by being raspberry scented eh?
Aw thanks xoxo!
8/18/10 15:36 ace:
OMG. i NEEEED this. desperately. DESPERATEY I TELL YOU!!!!! i have a slight benefit obsession…
8/18/10 15:55 the Muse:
lol ace me 2
8/18/10 17:53 ace:
im so obsessed ive actually put this onto my google alerts…
8/27/10 9:16 the Muse:
HA ACE! you're worst than me girl!
8/18/10 15:56 mon:
for me, raspberry scented products= yuck= $$ saved
8/18/10 16:07 the Muse:
mon wish I had the same mentality
8/18/10 16:27 Leah:
Oh Benefit, just when I've got myself straight again after the global financial crisis… and now this!
Did you hear about Prrrrowl as well? Mascara/Lip Glaze pen in the style of PocketPal I think?
8/18/10 16:32 the Muse:
no Leah what when where hook me up chicklet! where's the deets on dat?!
8/18/10 17:43 ace:
oooh im intrigued too!!!
8/18/10 19:37 Vanessa:
Can't decide if I want this or not – not too fond of the twist up packaging, but on the other hand, the colours on it are just screaming *too cute* at me to buy it.
8/20/10 12:48 the Muse:
vanessa same here plus scented?! SQUEAL!
8/18/10 21:56 Amalee:
This is too pretty! I can't wait to check it out
8/19/10 1:18 cham:
i soooooo need this!!! yey!!!!=)
8/19/10 9:05 sillylilacs:
You had me at the picture =p First I was like Benefit? Chinese? Whuuuut?
Then I read some more…and I want it ^_^
8/19/10 9:32 the Muse:
he lilac i know picture was kinda confoosing
8/19/10 9:36 sillylilacs:
Twas! It'd be awesome if Chinese was on the packaging though…=D
8/20/10 10:29 Miss Kitty:
it's not quite so pink, as soon as you put it on skin it goes a bit more golden, so a bit more like moon beam meets that gal rather than high beam
8/20/10 12:39 the Muse:
oh sounds lovely kitty!
8/27/10 17:34 HerpDerp:
I tried on this and Prrrowl in a Benefit store, they're both fantastic. It doesn't exactly smell like raspberries though, it smells exactly (EXACTLY) like That Gal. But holy bejeebus, did it make my face look good. And the Prrrowl lip gloss has blue sparkles in it!!! Squee!
8/30/10 12:26 the Muse:
awesome herp! really wanna try girl meets pearl!
9/11/10 21:31 Laura:
I tired it out today at Macy's – the SA nearly glopped it all over my hand. I had enough to cover my whole face.
I'm not impressed – it's like the That Girl version of Moonbeam. And I'm a Highbeam gal all the way. The gold shimmer is just too much shimmer to pull off.
I'll stick with Too Faced Candlelight, it's just the right amount of gold shimmer – so soft and light. This felt "in your face" to me. But then again it could be that SA.
9/13/10 13:52 the Muse:
thanks for letting me know Laura. Wasn't sure about this one either. Bit too much shimmer!
11/9/10 15:24 Promise:
Ok, Muse, I am needing some serious help! I have tried Smashbox Photofinish and I tried Benefit That Gal face primer, and then I have applied my MAC Satinfinish liquid foundation, and it does not go on smoothly! It just sticks in certain places and does blend in. Am I doing something wrong??
11/9/10 15:38 the Muse:
what doesn't go on smoothly promise? Girl Meets Pearl!?
11/9/10 16:01 Promise:
No, I just didn't find a review on That Gal Benefit face primer, so I posted on here. Here's what I've been doing, I apply a tinted moisturizer, then I apply benefit that Gal face primer, then my MAC skinfinish foundation, and the foundation goes on really splotchy like its catching on the primer and does blend. Any suggestions?
11/9/10 16:05 the Muse:
oh I got confused Promise. I'd apply the primer first than the TM than the foundation? http://www.musingsofamuse.com/2007/07/27-down-drain-and-none-richer-for-it.html here's my review. I really didn't love that girl to be honest or perhaps skip the TM? and just prep with a moisturizer, apply that gal, and than finish with your foundation.
11/9/10 16:28 Laura:
Hey sorry to butt in, but I thought I'd tell you what I do (although I don't use that gal , I use Highbeam)
I mix everything together on the back of my hand – a dab of Primer, a dab of TM, and a dab of High beam, squish together with my finger and it becomes it's OWN product. Works great – everyone compliments me on my "dewey" look
11/10/10 11:30 the Muse:
go right ahead Laura ;D
11/9/10 18:35 Promise:
Ok – thanks! You've been really helpful. Thanks for the fast response! Yours is the first makeup blog I check every day! lol Just curious, what moisturizer do you use to prep your skin? Thanks!
11/10/10 11:29 the Muse:
aw thanks promise that's super flattering appreciate it greatly ;-D I use various moisturizers to be honest, I switch around alot b/c I'm always testing new stuff but my skincare of choice is Lush and my daily moisturizer is Gorgeous.
11/10/10 11:35 Laura:
Can't tell who you are asking – but if it's me. I actually use CG Smoothers TM and love it. It's just as good as high end. But if I use high end I use Laura Mercier.
11/21/10 10:28 Charlotte:
I'M IN LOVE! , This has gotta be one of the best benefit produuctss evaaar xD The smell is sooo yuuummyyy! I sat there smelling it for like 10 minutes! And as for the actual cream. Amazing! Perfect colour. Perfect shimmer. Perfect glow. MINE!
11/22/10 9:59 the Muse:
sounds GORG charlotte
12/28/10 15:03 Isabel:

The ravishing, abandoned Chateau Noisy, Belgium. My first overseas urbex…
Top Ten in the '2-a-Week' Challenge, 'Clock Tower', May 2012.
Some loose research has revealed the following: The official name of the castle is Chateau Miranda, it was only later named Chateau Noisy. The architecture is in the Neo-Gothic style and was established in 1866 by an English architect named Milner, commissioned by the Liedekerke-Beaufort family. Unfortunately Milner died before seeing it completed.
The castle served in the beginning as a summer residence of the Liedekerke-Beaufort family who otherwise lived in the Chateau de Veves which stands opposite on an adjacent hill, both castles surrounded by lush forests and rivers. In the Second World War, Chateau Noisy was taken and used by the Nazis. Following this the Chateau then served as accommodation for children of Belgian rail employees (National Railway Company of Belgium; NMBS) as a holiday hostel and orphanage until 1980. Little is known of its fate from 1980-1991.
Now, however, since 1991 it has lain abandoned in an ever-diminishing state due to a fire in that year. It is reported that although the local municipality has offered to take it over, the family has refused. What is certain is that the enormous building languishes in the surrounding forest, completely concealed from the road and the outside world. It truly is a site full of beauty and mystery.
(Note: the site is heavily and actively guarded by security patrols and an armed forester, both of whom we saw but thankfully didn't see us, and is atop a very steep hill making access very difficult!)

Westminister - Unregistered June 21, 2011 4:07 PM Given the technological advantages that Honda developed this season, Simoncelli has shown to be the only one that can match Stoner, in the absence of Pedrosa.

mick - Unregistered June 21, 2011 4:33 PM This guy is fast on a flying lap no argument,but Stoner can keep putting the laps in time after time for the whole race distance.That is the difference between the two at the moment.Marco is simply too wild and until he learns to use his head he is not going to worry Stoner in the slightest.He will undoubtedly come to realise this and adjust his riding accordingly.If he keeps riding the way he is,he will never win the championship at this level. 8 agree 0 disagree
Ich - Unregistered June 21, 2011 5:36 PM I agree with mick, he's too wild at the moment.If he keep this way, he will never win anything apart from a race here and there.He could learn and become a title contender in the future, but he also might stay for ever a Pasolini, always losing against the Agostini of the moment.But it doesn't matter, I like him a lot anyway, he's still one of the very best thing that happened to MotoGP in the latest years. 1 agree 0 disagree
RawDawg June 21, 2011 6:14 PM "Simoncelli has shown to be the only one that can match Stoner"er, no he hasn't.He's shown flashes of brilliance but he has yet to put it together. He's got a pole or whatever but it didn't lead to anything. It's hard for me to say a guy who doesn't even have a podium can match Stoner who has 4 wins. Simoncelli hasn't even shown that he can consistently match Dovi week in and week out. He has to start bring it home. Reply Report abuse 17 agree 3 disagree
fant - Unregistered June 21, 2011 6:38 PM The results better come, coz you're on fantasy league team for the first time foo 1 agree 0 disagree
Kiyo Rulz - Unregistered June 21, 2011 6:40 PM I'm pretty sure that as Simoncelli gets more experience and less hot-headed, he will be more consistent and will hence take podiums and wins.I think the first win needs to come sooner rather than later because I think his desperation to win a MotoGP race is perhaps leading him into mistakes. 6 agree 0 disagree
demi-god - Unregistered June 21, 2011 6:48 PM Might not have race results just yet but they will come it's only his second year and first on a competetive bike that can run at the front. And he has run consistant fast laps in practice close to matching Stoner it's only his inconsistant riding in the race that's hurting him. As for Dovi he's got more points and brings the bike home but he doesn't have the raw speed of Casey or Dani and I bet by the end of the year Marco is beating him every time... if he can keep it on 2 wheels and learn from his mistakes thus far. 0 agree 1 disagree

teardrop England Show all reviews | For me, the main player in this fragrance is tobacco, apparent from start to finish. ln the opening, there's a freshly herbal hit of coriander, with perhaps some incense. Over the first half-hour, the tobacco becomes richly sweet & smoky, like a very soft & gentle version of Habanita. Much later, there's a powdery amber & a little pepper in the base. The projection is moderate, & it lasts a respectable eight hours on me. 23rd January, 2013 |
sherapop United States Show all reviews | Not sure whether I"d want to wear FIFI CHACHNIL as a perfume, but it certainly did a great job clearing up my sinuses and nasal passages on this drizzly day. Wow, what a startling opening: massive coriander and citrus, which somehow (I guess, assuming that camphor or menthol or something along those lines is not also in here...) together impart a camphorous quality which lingers on and on. I am convinced that this would truly work wonders for anyone suffering from a bad winter cold. Could also be a nice sauna scent. 07th September, 2011 |

I tried the edp and it was really lovely, it has a "Come here, boy..." quality that can't be denied. This may sound crazy but it has a pink bubblegum hint (to my nose), sweet rose, along with a little rich tobacco thrown in the mix. I've read it's the coriander that gives it the va va voom. This could only come from a woman who designs 1950's style lingerie in Paris. It did...and Fifi perfectly captures the spirit of that. Well done! 11th April, 2009 |
ubuandibeme United States Show all reviews | Wow! This Fifi is something else! Probably the most '1950's French' scent I've ever smelled! Notes of fruit, coriander, vanilla, rose, tobacco and amber are sensually blended to create this ultra-feminine (sorry guys) come-hither sex potion! This floral oriental juice creates an image of Marilyn Monroe wearing a penoir set pouring her mans favorite brand of single malt scotch into a crystal rocks glass. Female seductress! A special occasion fragrance. I can't imagine it being worn as an everyday type scent. It's much too...well...special!!! Although it takes me back in time, I do think it's very wearable now. * Coming from a lingerie designer it is totally appropriate! 03rd June, 2006 |
