Oktoberfest Stammtisch, they have agreed to offer our group
happy hour prices on all draft beers between 7:30 and 9:30pm. We will be meeting at the usual spot: the western-most wall on the 2nd floor (which, incidentally, they call the 'landing'), where the schwarz, rot, gold will be hanging. To identify yourself as a Stammtisch member and to get in on the cheap beer, you will need to be wearing a name tag, which will be provided for you. Feel free to bring family and friends, but tell them there's a one-German-sentence minimum.

Chapter One
A Tale of Two Chimps
The first chimpanzee I ever knew was Curious George, the mischievous hero of the classic children's book written by H. A. Rey.
It was the late 1940s and I was a small boy. One night my mother read me the story about "a good little monkey" who is captured in Africa by "the man with the yellow hat." The mysterious man pops Curious George into a sack, puts him on a ship, and takes him to a big city far away.
Curious George feels sad to leave home. But he is soon having fun. He tries hard to be good, but he can't seem to help getting into trouble. "The naughty little monkey" winds up in prison. His friend, the man with the yellow hat, rescues him and puts him in a zoo, where the story ends happily: "What a nice place for George to live!"
"I loved this story. It never occurred to me to wonder why Curious George had to leave his home in the jungle, or who the man with the yellow hat was, or why he put George in a zoo. I was only a child.
As a child I also didn't realize that George was not a monkey at all but a chimpanzee. In fact, the book's author had once wanted to call his character Zozo the Chimp. Monkeys, for the most part, are small, narrow-bodied creatures who walk exclusively on all fours and sport tails for balancing. They are our distant evolutionary relatives. Curious George is clearly a chimpanzee: he has no tail, he sometimes runs on two legs, and his face is apelike, with its flat nose and protruding jaw. The chimpanzee is humankind's closest living relative and a member of the great ape family, which also includes gorillas and orangutans. An upright, two-hundred-pound adult chimpanzee resembles our earliest hominid ancestors more than any monkey.
Twenty years later, when I entered graduate school, I met another chimpanzee--a real chimpanzee. Her name was Washoe. She, too, had been abducted from the African jungle in this case to become part of the American space program. She, too, was an irrepressible bundle of mischief
Washoe the real chimpanzee was more fantastical than Curious George in one important respect: she learned how to talk with her hands using American Sign Language. Washoe was the first talking nonhuman, and in the wake of her accomplishment the ancient notion that humans are unique in their capacity for language was shaken forever.
But Washoe's use of language, quite remarkable enough in itself, was only the beginning. Those first signs initiated a lifelong conversation between two friends who happened to belong to different species. From the moment I first met Washoe our destinies became as intertwined as two clasped hands. This book chronicles that shared lifetime of joy and hardship, scientific breakthroughs and controversies.
How does one account for the extraordinary connection between humans and chimpanzees? The answer has to do, oddly enough, with the reason children love Curious George. Unlike other storybook animals, Curious George, the chimpanzee, was not anthropomorphized. Chimpanzee behavior really is like human behavior-there is no need to embellish it. Children identify with George's wonder at the world around him, his innocent need to wreak havoc, his thoughtful way of solving problems that creates even bigger problems, his delight in breaking rules and undermining authority figures, and his shame at being caught and punished. In short, children see themselves in Curious George. Little do they know that the Curious George character is no fantasy. The chimpanzee child really does think, feel, and rebel just like the human child.
Most children never discover this remarkable fact. They grow up and leave their storybook alter egos behind. I grew up and met Washoe.
Nothing was further from my own mind when I met Washoe in 1967 than humankind's relationship to other species. My future was mapped out in clear bold lines: I was going to pursue an exciting career in psychology working with children.
But then Washoe began talking. She took me on an amazing journey to a world where animals can think and feel-and can communicate those thoughts and feelings through language. Along the way I met dozens of other chimpanzees, each one as individualistic and expressive as Washoe herself. In the end I learned more about my own species than I ever dreamed possible: the nature of our intelligence, the origins of our language, the extent of our compassion, and the depths of our cruelty.
This is Washoe's story. I tell it to repay a lifelong debt to her and all the other chimpanzees who have touched my heart and opened my mind.
Curious George wasn't the only animal I knew as a young boy. I grew up on a farm where animals were a very important part of our family's life.
My closest animal companion was our dog, Brownie. Feisty and fiercely loyal, Brownie was a fixture of our household. She needed us and we needed her. In addition to guarding the house, she baby-sat the youngest kids in the fields during the harvest season.
One day I saw Brownie do something that shaped my view of animals forever. She saved my brother's life. It happened during cucumber-picking season when I was four years old. The whole family-my parents, six brothers, and one sister-had been out in the field all day working. Brownie had been watching over me and my nine-year-old brother, Ed, whenever he got tired of picking. By the time the sun was going down our Chevy flatbed was piled high with boxes of cucumbers. It was time to head home for dinner. Ed wanted to ride back on our older brother's bicycle, a big thing that he could barely control. My parents said OK and Ed headed out on the bike, chaperoned by Brownie. Twenty minutes later, the rest of us clambered onto the truck and left the field with my twenty-year-old brother, Bob, driving...
For 30 years Roger Fouts has pioneered communication with chimpanzees through sign language--beginning with a mischievous baby chimp named Washoe. This remarkable book describes Fout's odyssey from novice researcher to celebrity scientist to impassioned crusader for the rights of animals. Living and conversing with these sensitive creatures has given him a profound appreciation of what they can teach us about ourselves. It has also made Fouts an outspoken opponent of biomedical experimentation on chimpanzees. A voyage of scientific discovery and interspecies communication, this is a stirring tale of friendship, courage, and compassion that will change forever the way we view our biological--and spritual--next of kin.
In the tradition of "When Elephants Weep" comes the captivating story of the man who has made scientific history by talking to chimpanzees--man's closest biological relative. of photos.

So Brave, Young and Handsome

A stunning successor to his best selling novel Peace Like a River, Leif Enger's new work is a rugged and nimble story about an aging train robber on a quest to reconcile the claims of love and judgment on his life, and the failed writer who goes with him.
In 1915 Minnesota, novelist Monte Becket has lost his sense of purpose. His only success long behind him, Monte lives simply with his wife and son. But when he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a new world of opportunity and experience presents itself. Glendon has spent years in obscurity, but the guilt he harbors for abandoning his wife, Blue, over two decades ago, has lured him from hiding. As the modern age marches swiftly forward, Glendon aims to travel back to his past--heading to California to seek Blue's forgiveness. Beguiled and inspired, Monte soon finds himself leaving behind his own family to embark for the unruly West with his fugitive guide. As they desperately flee from the relentless Charles Siringo, an ex-Pinkerton who's been hunting Glendon for years, Monte falls ever further from his family and the law, to be tempered by a fiery adventure from which he may never get home.
- What elements of Enger's book play off the conventions of cowboy movies and cowboy novels? In Chapter 12, we read "And so it came down to a farmhouse. As it so often does!" (p. 232) Monte's son, Redstart, "knew which members of the James Gang had once ridden into our town to knock over a bank and been shot to moist rags for their trouble" (p.4). What other traditions of the cowboy genres do you recognize in the book? The lore of train robberies? Cattle rustling? The nugget of goodness under the outlaw behavior?

The American TV show WIFE SWAP is looking for Goth families to be on their show. So, y'know, you too can be the kind of person who sells their family as well as their dignity to network tv reality programming.
10 thoughts on ""Hi? Are You A Subhuman? I Have $20K For You!""
Last year, Wife Swap trolled the model rocket community looking for a family willing to swap a Rocket Wife for . . . I dunno, some lady from a Safety First Family.
I know some good "goth" families. They won't pick any of those.
If watch that show if they pair any BME family with some fundamentalist inbred republicans.
This whole reality TV thing is becoming too much like Stephen King's short story The Running Man (disregard the Ahnold crapfest flick)
Reality TV isn't.
The mailman in my neighborhood was on this show. Iasked him about whay was up with his kids(the were a real nightmare) – he said EVERYTHING was staged.
Reality TV is BS. Even the US news is fake…
As long as they're not dork-sided.
If someone were to, hypothetically, pretend to be a goth (or member of a subculter of your choice) in order to get at all that loverly money. Does that count as getting one over on them or just shilling yourself even harder?
Ah, Steven Hutton, you're forgetting that the swapped wife gets to choose who gets the money and for what. And she will invariably dispense that money in some kind of horribly awkward attempt to cure you of your false-gothishness. So, even if you get on the show, you probably won't get the money.

Want To Sing The National Anthem at The WYRK Toyota Taste of Country?
Sing America's National Anthem at this year's WYRK Toyota Taste of Country Friday June 12th at Coca-Cola Field.
Sing America's National Anthem at this year's WYRK Toyota Taste of Country Friday June 12th at Coca-Cola Field.
Is it the best rendition? No. Can you understand every word? No. Is it impressive that a two-year-old memorized the National Anthem? Absolutely!
The fact that a two-year-old wasn't afraid to sing in front a gym full of people is also incredible
Most people have a general idea of the inspiration behind "The Star-Spangled Banner". After a long overnight attack in August of 1814, the following morning the American flag was still flying over Fort McHenry, which guarded the harbor and city of Baltimore. The flag was battered and torn, but it was still flying.
You may not know this, but 'The Star-Spangled Banner' actually has four verses.
Ever wonder what it sound like when 26,000 Buffalonians sing the National Anthem together? Well, wonder no longer! We caught it on video at Taste Of Country 2013!
I was out watching the Sabres/Bruins game Wednesday night. Did you see the pre-game ceremony? The National Anthem? To hear 18,000 people singing along to the most beautiful song ever written brought tears to my eyes, and from what I saw, many other grown men and women's eyes as well.
Beyonce decided that the time to address whether or not she was lip-syncing the national anthem at the presidential inauguration is now. You know, when everybody's already forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder.
Country music was well represented at the AFC and NFC Championship games over the weekend.
Viewers were quick to call out Luke Bryan for appearing to check his left hand at moments during his performance of the National Anthem at the MLB All-Star Game in Kansas City, Mo. on Tuesday night. Now, the singer has come clean, admitting to have written "key words" down to ensure he did his best.
The "Star Spangled Banner", our country's national anthem. Penned by Francis Scott Key back in 1812 during the War of 1812. It's a beautiful song which has been sung by many, perfected by a few (of course, Whitney Houston) and butchered by a handful (namely, Roseanne Barr). For me, the "Star Spangled Banner" and "America The Beautiful" are the two best patriotic songs our country has. If we were ever to switch national anthems...I'd hope it would be "America The Beautiful." That finally brings me to the point of this post. Vanity Fair/60 Minutes conducted a survey which asked participants ...Q- "If the country were to have a new national anthem...Who should write it? The singer who was selected most frequently was....
This little girl is incredible. Where and how does a 5-year old develop such a powerful voice and stage presence? Her version of the national anthem sounds an awful lot like Whitney Houston's rendition prior to Super Bowl 25 featuring the Buffalo Bills and New York Giants back in 1991.

Shoppers could pay a tax every time they get a plastic bag under controversial "green" plans approved by the Liberal Democrats.
Grassroots delegates at the party's annual conference in Brighton urged party bosses to consider an Irish-style tax on plastic bags.
Dublin introduced a plastic bag levy five years ago to end the litter menace generated by the bags.
Lib Dems have put the fight against global warming centre-stage at their week-long conference, which has the slogan: The Environment – Action Now.
But the new tax move, announced during a debate on packaging, came in the face of warnings that the levy would actually worsen carbon emissions.
Jo Swinson, the Lib Dem MP leading a campaign against excess packaging, said that the tax could simply lead to shoppers switching to other bags and actually lead to more pollution.
She indicated that road haulage emissions could increase as a container lorry, which could transport 1.5m plastic bags, could only carry just over 50,000 paper bags.
Ms Swinson, the party's spokesman on women and equality, argued instead for a deposit scheme on plastic bags to encourage people to re-use them.
But the conference also backed a motion calling for new laws to force supermarket to provide waste points, allowing customers to remove unwanted packaging before they leave the store.
A national body, with prosecution powers to tackle "large-scale producers of excess packaging", should also be set up, the Lib Dems said.
Sir Menzies Campbell's party is determined to prevent the Tories under David Cameron from stealing the party's traditionally environmentally-friendly reputation.
Earlier, the conference endorsed plans for a raft of new "green" taxes, including vehicle excise duty of up to £2,000 for the most gas-guzzling cars and new taxes on aviation.
Susan Kramer, the party's transport spokesman, outlined plans for a network of high-speed trains to render higher polluting internal flights unnecessary.
She appeared to envisage new lines linking London with Scotland, Wales and the South-West of England as well as major cities elsewhere. "High-speed rail is the viable alternative to domestic flights and long car journeys," she said.
"We know from examples across Europe that if journey times on any domestic route can be kept below two-and-a-half hours, passengers will switch en masse from air to rail.
"That only requires trains travelling at 170mph to mop up most passengers, for example, from London to Edinburgh."
The rail investment would be accompanied by a £10 per passenger "Climate Change Charge" for domestic flights for all but so-called "lifeline" flights from places to destinations such as the Shetlands.
"But it is genuine madness that any traveller has to turn to plane travel to get from London to Birmingham or Glasgow to London in a reasonable time at a reasonable price," Mrs Kramer told the conference.
The huge investment would in theory be financed from a £12bn "future transport fund", to be built up from the new tax on domestic flights and from a new lorry road-pricing system based on "pay-per-mile" schemes already in operation in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Eric Pickles, the Tory local government spokesman, condemned the proposed plastic bag tax as something that would punish "working families and pensioners".

FDNY smokeaters have a new reason to celebrate — June was the first month in the department's 150-year history in which not a single person was killed in a fire in the five boroughs, the agency's commissioner announced Thursday.
There had previously not been a month without a fire fatality since the department started keeping accurate records in 1916, said a spokesman for Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro.
The commissioner had more good news: In the past five years, between 2010 and 2014, there were fewer fire fatalities citywide than during any five-year period on record, he said.

Are you sure, because the movie sure makes it seem like the Enterprise is orbiting Qo'nos/Kronos, since we never see the K'normian ship go to warp or any other indication that the planet

Ja, first I thought so myself. But I later realized they were nowhere near Kronos, they only augmented a picture of Qu'ono's on their viewscreen and that stellar body you could see near the Enterprise was the little moon where Bones and Carol opened the torpedo
Okay, I've taken a look at the scene where the K'normian ship flies to Kronos and here's what I think happens, based on my knowledge of film editing:
Trade ship launches.
Trade ship keeps flying.
Camera moves to reveal planet, then cuts to face trade ship as it approaches planet.
Camera pans from trade ship to planet (Kronos).
Based on the rules of cinema about preserving the direction of motion and using editing to keep the audience aware of what's going on, it's highly probable that the planet is intended to be Kronos. So that means the Enterprise is literally
Klingon space unless Kronos' orbit takes it really close to the Klingon edge of the Neutral Zone.
Here's you problem: The movie directly states that they are on the edge of the Neutral Zone. So it doesn't matter what you think the visual shows, the movie flat out states that they're on the edge when Marcus shows up.

The cooperative would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our members for their patience and understanding during the recent storms in late April and all of the month of May. These roughly six weeks proved to be very taxing on our system as well as employees and contractors who worked around the clock to make sure your power stayed on as much as possible. WEC experienced a number of broken poles, downed conductor, and other facilities that may have been damaged by wind or lightning. Even through all of these events, there were only two outages that lasted over four hours. The cooperative experienced an outage time of over 20,000 hours during the month of May alone which effectively means that, on average, each of our members was without power for 1 hour during the month. In comparison, the cooperative will experience about 1200 hours of outage time in a normal month. In addition, the cooperative will be addressing the lingering effects of the storm for many days to come. There is still a large amount of "clean up" to be done and the cooperative will make every effort to get those issues tended to as soon as access is available and it is deemed safe for our employees to complete the work. WEC also encourages our members to report any unsafe conditions that may remain from the storms to ensure that we get them looked at and repaired or replaced. In closing, remember to take advantage of our website as well as our mobile app for reporting outages. These are very user friendly applications but please feel free to call our office for support on getting started with these tools. WEC does have a dispatcher on call 24 hours a day but during large call volumes, you may experience hold times that will vary. Thank you again for your understanding.

Poll: My readers, I ask you. Think deeply, and tell me, what do you think I look like? What do you think of when you hear my name? Vote Now!
Author has written 14 stories for Happy Tree Friends, Cartoon X-overs, Team Fortress 2, and Pokémon.
Check out my latest epic story: One World
A massive multi-dimensional war, it's so big it spans four books!
Book 1: Obsidian: COMPLETE
Hey you!
Yeah you! On the other side of the computer screen!
Name's Phoenix Reece! But you can just call me Reece, or Phoenix, or Webster (But the last one probably doesn't make sense to most of you, long story). I'ma here to write, read and socialize, much like you good folks out there are. I guess you'd like some Info on me. Well, here we go!
Everything you gotta know about :
1. I'm male, 'bout 5'3", and am as old as time itself. (wanna know my real age? Just follow the clues)
2. My b-day is July 24 (I can't believe you didn't send me a card)
3. I actively practice martial arts. I gotta a Black Belt license and everythin'
4. I'm a trained lawyer (OBJECTION!), doctor, general, and elite beat agent. (well, kinda. It still counts if the one who trained you was your DS right?)
5. My favorite cartoons are Ed Edd n Eddy, Samurai Jack, Happy Tree Friends, Total Drama Island/Action, and pretty much anything that's clever or bizarre enough to hold my interest.
6. I like to think I'm pretty well mannered. Just the way I was raised.
7. Some of my favorite anime/manga are One Piece, Reborn, Tuxedo Gin, and Bo-Bobo.
8. I sleep with a metal baseball bat (C'mon robbers, bring it ON! BONK!)
9. Thirteen is my lucky number. Don't believe me? On my thirteenth birthday I received a 50 gift card that, after it's first purchase, totaled 13.13. Also that year, I starred in a school performance of "Pirates of Penzance". I played the Major General, who had thirteen daugthers. In the movie "Talladega Knights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" Ricky's father Reece Bobby's car had a number 13 painted on the hood. My house number is 49. 4+9=13.
10. I'm a waiter! No really, it's a sweet job. Good money plus tips. And hey, any career that surrounds me with food is a good one in my book.
My golden rule:
I don't care who you are, or what your social or monetary status is, you're a living being and are a friend of mine. Except the undead. Sorry Vampires, just a rule of mine.
Weeeeellll, that about raps it up for my profile, feel free to browse my stories.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced this week that Eddie Murphy will be hosting the next Academy Awards ceremony, which will be held on Sunday, February 26, 2012.
"I'm looking forward to working with [producers] Brett and Don on creating a show that is enjoyable for both the fans at home and for the audience at the Kodak Theatre as we all come together to celebrate and recognize the great film contributions and collaborations from the past year," said Murphy.
Murphy got his big-screen debut starring with Nick Nolte in 48 Hours, and has been involved in quite a few hits, including the Beverly Hills Cop series, the Shrek franchise, and he came very close to getting an Academy Award of his own for his work in Dreamgirls. Unfortunately, he's also been responsible for some big-screen disasters, including Norbit, which probably sank his chances for that gold statue.
Coming off the poor reviews that 2011 co-hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco received (especially Franco, who paled in comparison to Hathaway), the Academy is betting a lot on Murphy. That's a gamble that perhaps more than a few people will tune in to the broadcast in February to see how it turns out.
What do you think?
Can Eddie Murphy make everyone forget about James Franco, or will he leave everyone wishing that the Academy would drop off a truckload of cash on Billy Crystal's driveway in exchange for a lifetime hosting contract?

Eddie Murphy deserves to host the Academy Awards. He should've been host years ago.

In her luminous new novel, Barbara Delinsky explores every woman's desire to abandon the endless obligations of work and marriage—and the idea that the most passionate romance can be found with the person you know best.
Emily Aulenbach is thirty, a lawyer married to a lawyer, working in Manhattan. An idealist, she had once dreamed of representing victims of corporate abuse, but she spends her days in a cubicle talking on the phone with victims of tainted bottled water—and she is on the bottler's side.
And it isn't only work. It's her sister, her friends, even her husband, Tim, with whom she doesn't connect the way she used to. She doesn't connect to much in her life, period, with the exception of three things—her computer, her BlackBerry, and her watch.
Acting on impulse, Emily leaves work early one day, goes home, packs her bag, and takes off. Groping toward the future, uncharacteristically following her gut rather than her mind, she heads north toward a New Hampshire town tucked between mountains. She knows this town. During her college years, she spent a watershed summer here. Painful as it is to return, she knows that if she is to right her life, she has to start here.
About the Author
BARBARA DELINSKY is the author of twenty-one "New York Times" bestselling books. She has been published in twenty-eight languages worldwide. A lifelong New Englander, Delinsky earned a B.A. in psychology at Tufts University and an M.A. in sociology at Boston College. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, more books than she'll ever be able to read, two tennis racquets, and enough electronic devices to keep in close touch with her children and their families.
Praise For…
"Delinsky nails it in her trademark latest, a captivating and moving story about a woman who's had enough of her life and wants a fresh start. . . . [She] keeps the story moving with some nice twists on a familiar plot, rich characterizations, and real-feeling dilemmas that will keep readers hooked."—Publishers Weekly
"Escape is another appealing page-turner from a writer who continues to earn her bestseller status."—Bookreporter.com
"A topical tale that resonates with timeless emotion." —People, 3½ stars
"Delinsky proves once again why she's a perennial best-seller with this thought-provoking tale . . . Timely, fresh, and true-to-life." —Publishers Weekly

Per Rosenthal ...
Bourn for 4 minor leaguers. Details to come.

Per Rosenthal ...
Bourn for 4 minor leaguers. Details to come.
As they say, "Sometimes the best "trades" are the one's you don't make!" :)
No top 50 prospects and best was Braves 9 prospect. Probably equivalent was Heisey + Boxberger and two lesser guys. Keep snoring Walt.
Here are the players Houston got for Bourn from Jayson Stark:
J Schafer, lhp Brett Oberholtzer, rhp Paul Clemens & rhp Juan Abreu.
It is odd that I have felt relieved with almost every trade that's gone down this year.
At the prices players are costing this year, I'm very happy Walt hasn't pulled the trigger.
Sigh of relief here. I hope we survive the rest of the day.
Braves #7 prospect doesn't equal Reds #7 prospect
Braves #8 prospect doesn't equal Reds #8 prospect... and so on
If our GM is basing a players trade value off of BA's, BP's, ESPN's prospect rankings, we're in trouble...
And nice response... You copy/pasting that in pretty much every thread right now? Add something intelligent please.
Other than Matt Holliday, Bourn was the guy I've wanted the worst to add to our current lineup over the past few years. I've been saying he would be a perfect fit for us for two years. I wonder what our price would have been. Good for Atlanta. They've got a nice squad.

My core theme and purpose is positive, meaningful, sustainable evolution and transformation within a web of relationships - to oneself as private individual and professional persona; to family and friends as well as to superiors, colleagues and direct reports; and in an outer circle to additional stakeholders.
Motivated by that purpose, I worked as a Corporate Responsibility Manager for years, and after that as a change consultant and coach, facilitator and leadership trainer.
For the time being, I am working exclusively on a research and book project on the topic of 'burnout and work health' - in itself a theme of deep individual change.
In the meantime, of course, feel free to get in touch with me as you would usually do.
I am also active on Twitter and my blog on an ongoing basis.
My current pro bono commitment is in fundraising for buddY E.V. - Forum New Learning Culture, a highly competent German social profit enterprise, founded and headed by an Ashoka Fellow, that implements a cause close to my heart, based on my core theme mentioned above: equipping young people early with cognitive, emotional, and social competencies.

DIY Fabric Tape
By: Jennifer Swift for Art as Usual
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Now you can make your own decorative masking tape with this DIY Fabric Tape tutorial. Using up fabric scraps was never so easy! Use this fabric tape to add color to everything from scrapbooks to lamp shades.
- Fabric wider than 1 3/4" and any length desired
- Res Q Tape by Dritz (in 1 1/2" width)
- Scissors
- Lay out your fabric of choice on a flat surface wrong side up, and then using your hand to apply pressure, adhere sticky side of tape to fabric. Do not remove the paper backing on the tape.
- Trim your tape at the bottom of your fabric piece. Flip over fabric and tape and smooth out fabric again applying slight pressure with your hand to ensure complete adhesion.
- Flip your fabric over again so that the tape is visible (wrong side up) and using the paper backing of your tape as a guide, trim away the excess fabric on both sides of the tape.
- Store your fabric tape in strips with the paper backing in place until ready to use. When ready to use cut to desired length, pull off backing fabric and use as desired.

This is a great way to use up old strips of fabric! I can picture using this in a child's scrapbook, using strips of their favorite clothing to border the photos in the scrapbook; this way, their favorite clothes are never outgrown or forgotten! You can also make your young child an Alphabet Scrapbook using these fabric tape strips: each page is one letter of the alphabet and has pictures of all sorts of things that start with that letter. For Blue, you can use blue tape strips; for Red, use red; etc. Thanks for the tip!

Transactions rose for retailers in Cyber Holiday Pulse Index, but average order value fell.
E-retail sales from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 increased 25% from the same period a year ago for the 50 large online retailers tracked by Chase Paymentech's Cyber Holiday Pulse Index. The payment processor also says the number of transactions increased 37% and the average order value declined 9% during the same time frame. Chase Paymentech does not disclose which retailers it includes in the index.
Chase Paymentech attributes e-retailers' holiday season performance primarily to consumers' increasing shift to buying online along with heavy seasonal promotional activity. Consumers this holiday season also increased their purchases of digital media, such as music downloads and e-books, which contributed to the decline in average order values, Chase Paymentech says.
Consumers made more online purchases later in the holiday season than last year, the Cyber Holiday Pulse Index showed. Because Christmas fell on a Sunday, many e-retailers pushed shipping deadlines later than last year. Eight e-retailers ranked among the top 100 in Internet Retailer's Top 500 Guide offered guaranteed delivery for orders placed as late as Dec. 23, according to a review by Internet Retailer. According to Dec. 23 data from the Cyber Holiday Pulse Index, the 50 retailers in the Index generated $226.1 million in sales that day, up 25.9% from $179.6 million on the comparable day in 2010.
ComScore Inc. yesterday said online shoppers in the United States spent nearly $37.2 billion during the 2011 holiday season, up 15% from the approximately $32.4 billion spent in 2010. The web measurement firm accounted for spending between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, and tracks online purchasing behavior of 2 million consumers.
Sales at bricks-and-mortar sales grew more modestly. Kantar Retail reported today that same-store sales for 24 major chains, mainly apparel merchants, were up 3.6% in December compared with December 2010.
