What is there to say about true-crime books? They're fun. They can be intellectually compelling, and, like the fictional variety from Hammett, Cain and that crowd, they're more often than not rooted in the far side of respectability or polite society. Most every writer wants to write one. The trick is to come up with the right crime, the right crook or issue. Here are ten of my favorites that helped get me through "Reasonable Doubt: The Fashion Writer, Cape Cod, and the Trial of Chris McCowen":
Deservedly the all-timer bestseller of the genre, a remarkable page-turner that both moves at about 90 m.p.h but is also chockablock with the many details, complexities and sub-plots, not to say points of law, that studded the Manson investigation and trial. A groundbreaking achievement that probably could only have come from Manson's prosecutor, who's gone on to emerge as a major writer.
The first book to go inside the world of Cosa Nostra, and all the more compelling because it's told in the words of Joe Valachi, a disgruntled mid-level soldier in New York's Genovese crime family who decided to "talk" after learning he'd been tabbed for a hit. It's probably fair to say that without Valachi's revelations we'd never have gotten "The Sopranos."
A strange, no-frills newsreel of how two Irish brothers came to dominate Boston's political and criminal underworlds - Billy, the longtime Massachusetts senate president, kingmaker, and president of the University of Massachusetts; and his brother Billy, a psychotic credited with near thirty "hits" who ran the city's Irish and (through surrogates) Italian mobs. May well be the best account of how Boston (not Chicago or New York!) became the epicenter of American political corruption and graft.
Now nearly forty years old, this account of a Houston society marriage gone bad remains compellingly readable, a Thackeray-like novel-of-manners set among oil money and the new rich. "Vanity Fair"'s late Dominic Dunne was very good, indeed, but, truth be told, he owed Thompson plenty.
Based on the research of Hollywood schlockmeister Lawrence Schiller, Mailer's Pulitizer-Prize account of a knock-around Utah wastrel-turned-killer is too long and suffers from the author's romantic fascination with violence. But for all it's flaws, you can't put it down.
A tightly focused account of the trial of Princeton-educated Green Beret Jeffrey MacDonald, who was sentenced to three life terms for killing his wife and two young daughters. Immersing himself in the case, author McGinniss went so far as to move in with the defendant, who, pre-trial, he believed innocent; eventually, McGuiness found he had to change his mind, though, and, unlike most scribes, he mustered the courage to write about his volte face with the same thoroughness he'd brought to his coverage of MacDonald's crime and trial. Be sure to read the edition with the 1985 Afterword and 1989 Epilogue. Next up, we should be getting McGuinness' book on Sarah Palin; I can't wait.
A big, weighty bio of the famed Chicago mob boss, marked by the same thoroughness and attention to detail we've come to expect from Presidential biographies by the likes of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough.
Rather than pick an individual title, I broadly nominate the books of the late Hank Messick, ex-"Louisville [KY] Courier-Journal" reporter who helped to set the standard for unflinching investigative reporting on crooks, gamblers, thieves and mobsters. Of Messick's 19 books, I'd recommend "The Silent Syndicate" (1967) that traced the rise of the so-called "Purple Gang" in Cleveland during Prohibition; "Razzle-Dazzle" (1995), his probe of Newport, Ky., gambling, and his bio, Lansky (1971), that depicted the eponymous mobster as a financial genius.
Here, we're not talking about an account of a mobster or serial killer but of America's most vile, cruel and terrifying domestic crime of all -- lynching. An important book by one of our most resourceful, focused cultural historians.
Published in 1966 and still the best example of true-crime literature we've got, Capote's masterpiece rests on its writing -- which is careful, well observed, and easy of pace. Unlike Mailer, whose "The Executioner's Song" was an imitation, Capote didn't feel the need to invest his bad guys with a rarified, show off-y philosophy. Here, people talk like they do in real life. Small town Holcomb, Kansas, emerges as quietly as an everyday farm sunrise that could be in Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa or Minnesota. And herein lies the key to the true horror of this book, for as most cops will tell you, the majority of criminals will talk about their crime and evil as no more spectacular than lighting a butt. Indeed, as Capote's killer Perry Smith explained his feelings about murdering Herb Clutter, the father of the family of four slain by Smith and his sidekick, "I had nothing against him, I liked the man right up to moment I slit his throat." Terrifying stuff.

Dress Tropeby Bill Berkson
November 16, 2012
Dear Irving,
Maybe the attached will do for a response to your set of questions. My difficulty in responding item by item has to do with the fact that I'm not writing very much about art these days. My forbearance, if that's what it is, is the result of doubts about whether any sane person reads art criticism these days, and then again whether anyone at all would want to read the kind of criticism I like to write.
I do think that the truly intellectual audience for contemporary art, except for some of the artists themselves, has disappeared. This isn't the fault of the art so much as that of the handlers––curators, magazine writers, and art historians who have busied themselves with making teachable a lot of phenomena that, if looked at carefully, really aren't classroom fodder, and some that are all too insistently so.
Best to you, as ever,
ContributorBill Berkson
BILL BERKSON is a poet, critic, and professor emeritus at the San Francisco Art Institute. His most recent book of poetry is Repeat After Me; of critical prose, For the Ordinary Artist.

User Friendliness Though it does require a training period with the FM:Systems staff, and some areas of the software require more knowledge than others, the program's basic organization makes sense immediately; the consistency of functions throughout makes use that much easier. With large icons on the home page, a quick glance allows users to find information.
Functionality The system is scalable and can be implemented by property managers operating one facility or asset managers with large portfolios of properties. Not only can it keep track of maintenance, occupant/tenant workspaces, and upcoming moves, but it also generates helpful reports and documents that facility/property managers can use to make decisions, share with team members, etc.
Configurability You will never have to see functions or information that aren't useful or pertinent to the operation of your buildings. Permission levels help you wisely determine what information is accessible to whom; with the addition of CAD drawings and building floorplans, the software is as specific to the user's needs as he/she makes it.
Comprehensiveness From requesting a changed light bulb to reporting on spending and budgets, the tasks required of an FM are made easier through this software. Tested thoroughly with input from property management professionals, FM:Interact is a one-stop location for property and asset data. One of the complaints from facilities professionals is that software often isn't capable of multi-tasking: With FM:Interact, that certainly isn't the case.
FM:Interact™ Workplace Management Suite
(based on a 5-point scale)
The FM:Interact Workplace Management Suite by Raleigh, NC-based FM:Systems is an integrated suite of powerful Web-based workplace management products that lets you share information and manage processes that impact the entire organization. Featuring an intuitive interface that provides quick and easy access to key facilities information (such as floorplans, reports, employee information, and critical documents), FM:Interact helps you manage your facilities across multiple locations. Work orders and move requests are streamlined, greatly improving efficiency and customer service. FM:Interact runs on your organization's intranet and can be accessed by all employees using standard Web browsers. For more information about FM:Interact, visit (www.fmsystems.com).

What an amazing day! Waking up in North Carolina to Parker's 6th birthday was lovely, and he was very excited although his understanding of what would happen was a little cloudy. He was asking about cake, and presents, and having us sing to him. We explained we'd be getting a cupcake later on, and that presents would come on a different day. But today, we were going to the Downtown Raleigh Food Truck Rodeo!
This was a great idea that Sara had, because it was the only day we could get together, and she knew that the rodeo was happening on that day. It was absolutely perfect, because I have never eaten anything from a food truck before! It features heavily on my bucket list, and has been something I was dying to do. In New Hampshire there just aren't that many food trucks, and they almost certainly are not where I ever am. So I'm way behind the times! The rest of the country has been consumed with the food truck trend, but of course things are slow to come to New England. And how hard could it be?? REALLY? You don't even need a building! Lame.
What a journey to get there! Kelly picked us up at the house, and then we drove to Sara's house, and from there we drove again to Raleigh where we parked nearby in the Marriott underground parking garage. By the time we finally got there (around 2:00), the kids were starving in a bad way. I felt bad because it had been a legitimately long time since breakfast, and they were fading fast.
We meandered through the masses of people trying to look at the food trucks to decide what lengthy line to get in, and they sprawled along a half-mile stretch of road. As we passed truck after truck, the kids were getting frantic, and Drew was in tears and he goes, "Can we start ordering food now????" So we found the Master Bacon truck which they liked the sound of, and we got in line, and split up with the rest of the group who all mostly went back to the start of the line. And we waited and waited and waited as they fought over the one and only pair of sunglasses we had. Finally we were up and I ordered 3 different things because I knew we'd never be able to wait in another line at another truck. This would have to be our only order! Luckily the food was great and HUGE.

Early in the morning we were awake and ready to go! Ready to hit the airport and get on our way to North Carolina! Wow, Parker and Drew look completely homeless in these pictures:
We had a 2 hour flight to Charlotte, which was an eternity to Parker and he kept incessantly asking if we were there yet and it was SOOOOOOOO LOOOOOOOOONG. They played iPad as much as they could, and I played Bejeweled on my phone. After we landed we had a decent layover which enabled us to have time for a nice lunch. I had carnitas tacos from Tequileria in the atrium, and it was quite good! We got Burger King for the boys (with chicken fries, of course) and they were kept happy with that. Afterwards, we caught our short 21 minute flight to Greensboro!
We arrived on a beautiful & warm afternoon, and took in all the pretty sights, most notably that they have leaves on the trees!! It was such a sight for sore eyes. We haven't seen leaves since last October. Just beautiful.
We found the perfect USA map at Beth Schmidt park to illustrate our journey:
We had a good time at the playground and let the boys blow off some steam, and then we went to Cookout for our first meal and had a huge blowout $42 Cookout supper! I was dying for a Cookout style burger with chili, slaw, onions, and mustard. Drew had chicken tenders which he said were "delicious" which is saying a lot for him. Must have been those big ranch cups!
Parker of course had been talking about the milkshakes pretty much ever since we landed, and he let us know in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that he wanted a milkshake. He chose peanut butter for his flavor today. I had banana pudding.
The day wrapped up with a fancy bath in a fancy tub. They love this, and apparently still not too old to bathe together.

The fun continues during April Vacation week...... On Wednesday we headed down to Billerica, MA (a 1 hour drive) to meet up with Dave at the Cheesecake Factory at 11:30. He works about 15 minutes away, so it's easy for him to head over and have lunch with us there.
Dave and I have eaten at the Cheesecake Factory before, in a previous lifetime. I swear we can't even remember when it was, but it would have to be a minimum of 10 years ago. We barely remember it. What we DID remember is that Dave got this GIGANTIC grilled cheese sandwich which was unbelievable in size. It is no longer on the menu, to his chagrin.
We had a nice meal, and Dave got a big "glamburger", Drew had pizza, and Parker ordered pasta off the kids' menu with alfredo sauce which was the weirdest request ever because that's just not something he would normally want. I didn't think he would like it, and I was right. Although it was plain, it was pretty good.
I had no idea what to order, because the menu is like a catalog, and everything sounds so good. I ended up choosing something completely arbitrarily because I couldn't decide, and ordered CHICKEN BELLAGIO: Crispy Coated Chicken Breast over Basil Pasta and Parmesan Cream Sauce Topped with Prosciutto and Arugula Salad. It was delicious, but very salty.
So after saying goodbye to Dad to return to work, we headed back up north home, and conveniently on the way was a new trampoline park that I wanted to visit that recently opened in Nashua. Originally I wasn't going to travel that far, but since we were already in MA it made since to stop on the way back home. It was fun! It was also very crowded, since it was April vacation week, but Drew and Parker were so excited and had a really fun time. We'd definitely go back again.

Day 4 started out with a trip to the Mall of New Hampshire, and a first visit to Build a Bear Workshop. With both Parker and Drew loving stuffed animals, we decided to treat them to their first Build a Bear so they can experience choosing a new lovey from start to finish. Drew immediately knew he wanted the little golden retriever dog, and Parker quickly gravitated toward the hulk bear (because it had built in muscles), but he also wavered between a couple of different ones before firmly deciding on Hulk.
They loved the process of stuffing, fluffing, naming, and choosing outfits for them. Although Parker didn't end up wanting any accessories for his Hulk, Drew found the perfect cowboy hat for his dog.
Packed in their houses, the new stuffed animals were ready to roll:
From the Mall, we drove straight over to Cactus Jack's, where we were meeting Dad for lunch. This week they offered Kids Eat Free, so we knew we wanted to take advantage of that! We had a great lunch and everybody got something that they wanted. Drew ordered chicken fingers, and I was glad to see that little bit of expansion (he usually gets a burger).
A little later that afternoon we went bowling at King's Lanes in Goffstown, which is something they always want to do. Parker was in a really foul mood, and hated everything. He was listed 2nd in the game, and that infuriated him because he wasn't first. I had to listen to him complaining about how much he hated bowling for 2 whole games.

On Monday, Dave took the day off, and so he took the kids hiking at Mt. Uncanoonuc here in Goffstown. It's a great hike for the kids, closeby, and generally they enjoy it. Dave takes them to the convenience store on the way and lets them pick out a special snack that they get to eat at the top, and that's pretty much all the motivation they need. Will hike a mountain for Doritos and Cheetos!
While they were gone for a couple of hours, I worked on my mulch outside in the yard, and planting flowers and stuff. Spring is here! So nice to be outside and watching things coming back to life after the horrible, horrible winter.
The kids were already tired from their hike, but after supper and their video game time (which is from 5:30-7:00 each evening and is the most cherished time of day for them), Dave took them swimming at the YMCA. They enjoy going later at night because there's not many people there, and in fact, Parker ran into his friend Noah, so they spent an extra long time there that night playing, and they didn't get home until the pool closed at 9:30!! Which is really late for them. They are normally in bed by 8:30. So they came home completely wound up and excited and it was hard to get them mellowed out for bed. They were fried the next day from staying up so late.

On Sunday I had this fairly lame photo assignment from The Hippo that took me to Benson's Park in Hudson to photograph dogs. I don't even know why I agreed to do it because it's never worth the stress involved, and certainly not worth the drive down to Hudson and back. So anyway, I managed to redeem the situation a bit by taking a few photos of Drew and Parker which I do so rarely now, and it makes me sad. Still, we had fun and got a few good photos of them.
Afterwards, we went to lunch at Burger King where we got "Chicken Fries" because Parker is still obsessed with them.
And after that I took them to the big Goodwill store in Hudson and we found a few nice things. It's a great store, and one that I had not been to yet because it's so far away, so I took advantage of being in the neighborhood to check it out.

I had a trip planned to Boston's North End with some friends, but things kind of fell through and I refused to let the opportunity pass, since I had already had plans to go. So Dave offered for him and the kids to come with me and make it a family trip, which I thought was great because it's generally more fun to have company, and I always love any chance for Parker and Drew to travel and experience new places.
So we headed out, and drove 1 hour down to Wellington Station so that we could catch the T into the city. On the drive down I made 12:00 reservations for The Union Oyster House for lunch, via Open Table, in case there was a line. I knew Dave would have an aneurysm if he had to wait for any length of time, so I thought a reservation would keep the peace. The kids were very excited about the train! It took us a few minutes to figure out the machines that sold the tickets, the "Charlie Tickets." We must have looked like country come to town, the way we could not figure out what we were supposed to do, or even how to stick the ticket into the turnstile and pass through. Hilarious.
It was only a few stops down the Orange Line before we arrived at Haymarket station. As soon as we emerged, we ran smack into the Faneuil Farmer's Market which was huge and took up the whole block. We found our way over to Faneuil Hall and had a look around since we had an hour to kill before our lunch reservation. I loved the old building, so full of history. The upstairs was open so we we went up to the Great Hall which had a grand feeling of historic significance.
Then we watched a street performer for a while and then headed over to our lunch reservation at the Union Oyster House, which is known for being the oldest restaurant in America, functioning continuously as a restaurant since 1826 (but built well before that). We were seated on the 2nd floor, and it was very dark and small inside, with high-backed dark wooden booths, very tight seating as you would imagine people were smaller 200 years ago. They gave the kids these wonderful coloring books which I would have loved to take with us but we didn't have any way of carrying anything.
The food was good, starting out with a slice of cornbread for everyone. Parker was half dead with hunger, so it was a good pick-me-up. Dave and I had the fish & chips which we liked (very poor lighting for photos!), and the kids had chicken fingers and a hot dog. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant and I would have liked to look around more. Perhaps I will go back some day!
After our lunch, we headed down the street further into the North End which is what I really wanted to explore. It's actually such a small area that is easily covered on foot, winding through old cobblestone streets with pretty much wall to wall Italian restaurants. Pizza, pasta, bread, and bakeries beyond your wildest dreams. Although Mike's Pastry is the overwhelming winner of the fame & popularity contest, I had read great things about Modern Pastry (just a few doors down on the other side of the street) so that's where I went. I still waited in line about 20 minutes but it wasn't bad at all, and in fact I needed that much time to decide what I wanted to get! I ended up with a Lobster Tail, which was SO HUGE and only $5.00. Also I got a cannoli which has never been my favorite but I thought maybe I just had never had a good one, and this would convert me. I'm not a big fan of crunchy pastries, so I think it's a texture thing that gets me. I love soft cake and icing, etc. :) I got it filled with vanilla custard, but I'm thinking I should have gotten the traditional ricotta filling (since they fill each one upon order, you get to choose what kind of filling you want). Additionally I got a slice of carrot cake and a Boston Cream Pie cupcake for Dave and the kids who were busting to leave by this time. They were tired of walking around....... I knew my time in Boston would be limited by these chuckleheads, so I'm glad I got as much time out of them as I did. I know it's a lot of walking for little legs, and probably (to them) nothing at all interesting to do or see.
One way the kids kept themselves entertained was by taking pictures..... we had given them our very old little Canon point & shoot camera to play with, and they took turns documenting everything as they saw it. It was pretty cool to download the card and see what they had been looking at and thinking about. For Parker, it was pretty much motorcycles! Lots of silly faces, and blurry shots made up their day's work. We tried to explain to them that you can't take a picture while you're walking, or by shooting your arms forward as you press the shutter, but it never sank in. I think with practice they'll learn to appreciate an in-focus photo. :) Like their momma, I had to repeatedly remind them to
1. look up while you're walking and not run into people
2. don't take photos while you're walking down stairs.

Reviews for Psoriasin
For Psoriasis "I have psoriasis only on both of my palms. I used Psoriasin gel for the first time last night...saw and felt immediate relief. I can only imagine what a day or monitored continuous use will bring! Thank you PSORIASIN!"

For Psoriasis "I am so thrilled and relieved! 2-3 months ago I started having a reaction on the palms of my hands and it quickly turned into a red itchy rash with nasty flaky, scaly skin and I had no idea what it was. I shake hands with people frequently at work and all I think is if I saw a hand like that I wouldn't want to shake it! I've tried all kinds of creams with no results. Then 2 days ago I found this and the picture on the packaging looked like my hand so I bought it. And you know what?.. Just 2 days later and I am seeing AMAZING results! Its not completely gone yet but it looks and feels so much better after just 2 days. I never do these reviews but I am so happy I just had to find a place to tell others!"

For Psoriasis "I have been using this product for about four months. There are no side affects that I can see. It's easy to use, just put a small amount on and it will go a long way and the more you massage it into your skin it seems to help more. The only bad thing is that it is oily. So its best to let it seep into your pores."

Five years of sock posts!
How perfect is this? Almost exactly five years ago today I posted my first entry on the Sock Journal! It was about a style we hardly see any more (toeless tabi socks), since then I've learned to focus more on information, styles and topics that have a longer life and can keep being fun and useful no matter what products are currently available.
In the years between then and now our social media team has become so awesomely robust that between our Events, Latest News and Newsletters, we've been able to give you guys all sorts of voices and info about the styles we carry and what we love about them. All their hard work has freed up the Sock Journal to focus on specific things like colours, DIY and tips on using our site and more.
That influx of writerly talent has already been seeping into the ol' Sock Journal a bit, as you may have noticed in a couple recent posts. With five whole years of you guys reading my words every week, it's about time I step back and let some new voices in! From here on out other Dreamers will be taking the mic!
But I do still have a couple of those colour-nerd posts to share in the coming months, so at least through fall I'll still see y'all once a month to ooh and ahh over bundles of socks in a single colour. Before I peace out though, indulge me in looking at some of my utter fave posts and themes from these past five years.
However you spell it, colours are difficult to convey across a monitor! I hope that the colour posts I've done over the past two years have helped you some when it comes to matching, coordinating and understanding how colours can act differently between in your hand and on your screen. Here are some of my favourites!
You think black would be simple, but it sure isn't—not when you want to show detail and make sure people don't think it's navy!
Speaking of troublemakers, let's talk about teal and turquoise.
Less of a pain and always beautiful is grey, with subtle shading between cool and warm, dark and light, gorgeous and like, really gorgeous.
Tips & Tricks
I haven't written as many Tips & Tricks for our products and using our site as I want to, but I always want to write informative, explanatory stuff and also improve your browsing experience, so I don't think I could ever write enough. These two though, I'm proudest of and think they're good ones to bookmark!
Though we love to help you find the socks that will make your sock dreams come true, we can't do it without a little help from you. Terms like "plus size" and "tall" can be subjective and when it comes to socks, you want an objectively perfect fit! Knowing what measurements to give us right off helps a lot in helping us help you!
Our compression sock options have grown more and better since we tentatively began offering a couple select styles. We're in love and we want you to love them too, but to get the most out of compression socks you've got to put them on right. Knowing the trick not only improves their performance but ensures they're helping and not hurting your legs.
What is A . . .?
Depending on where you live, what language you speak and about a million other variables, it can get confusing figuring out what exactly a person means when they say "tights". Or "knee sock" or anything! Though the definitions we use are only definitive in the world of Sock Dreams, I hope that these "what is a . . . ?" posts about coverage styles help narrow down what you're looking for.
Forever a matter of debate, whether you want that debate or not, the poor ol' legging just wants to be itself: opaque enough not to let others know what underwear you're wearing.
Always in-between worlds, the knee sock is an OTK for some and a knee high for others, floating up and down depending on your cuff preference, your calf and how long your legs are. Despite their lack of clear coverage, there is something wonderful about their mutability.
Dyeing tips
I've written a couple of posts on dyeing socks and stockings and as fun as they are (and as amazing as those petticoats turned out) I think I am happiest about the post with tips on dyeing stockings to match your skin tone.
It is a frustrating world out there and sometimes what you need and deserve isn't available. We do our best here at Sock Dreams to offer all that we can to help you find the right sock for whatever your need. And when the right pre-made thing isn't there for us to offer, we're ready to help you figure out how to make what you got work until the world catches up with what is going on.
I've had a great time writing these Sock Journals and I'm glad that I've got a couple more posts to share about colour. I'm never going to stop loving helping folks find what they need and making things easier to find. ♥

150 Years of Wonderland
In 1865, Macmillan & Co. published the first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and 150 years later, Lewis Carroll's classic book has become a beloved story around the world. Alice clearly is a favorite among sock-lovers as well, and we've got a lot of items that will help you bring a little Wonderland to your day.
First, we have these gorgeous tights depicting Alice and the Red Queen. Since they have a tube-style foot, with no formed heel, they're reversible, so you can choose whether you'd like Alice in front or in back.
And we've also tracked down some of Alice's favorite companions. Whether you're chasing rabbits or getting questionable directions from the locals, at least you'll be adventuring in style.
• Caterpillar Knee Highs •
• Plush White Rabbit Purse •
• Fuchsia Cat Slipper Socks •
Or maybe you're looking for a subtler approach. The Snappy Mad Tea Party Garters and Amanita Muscaria Crews will bring a touch of Wonderland to your outfit, without making it the main focus. And if you're a fan of Through the Looking Glass, Alice's second adventure, you might like the Checkered Midcalves.
We've also got some items that are perfect for an Alice costume. Although illustrations vary, Alice is usually wearing some version of her iconic blue dress and white pinafore, and what better to complete that look than some tasteful white socks?
• Bobby Socklings •
• Opaque Nylon Trouser Socks •
Or, if you're feeling a little adventurous, some striped options.
• Extraordinary Striped Thigh Highs •
• Fighting Pretty Striped Crews •
We also get a lot of requests from people creating Cheshire Cat costumes. The pink and purple stripes made famous by the Disney movie are the most popular, which you can see in our M Sleeves. We don't quite have anything as neon-tastic as the blue and grey of Tim Burton's Cheshire Cat, but we do have a slightly muted option in the Blue Knees.
Alice taught us to embrace nonsense, to always follow white rabbits, and to be careful what we eat. There are a lot of events around the world celebrating this anniversary, and you can check them out on the official Alice 150 website. Here's to another 150 years of this wonderful book!

Spacey socks!
Sock Dreamers have their head in the clouds and their eyes full of stars. We've talked about Moon Day (July 20th) before and starry sock options, but it's been a while and as our site matures we've made better ways to pin down spacey styles. Perhaps you could even say we've become more adept galactic explorers.
Let's start with a general sweep of the system, and look at what comes up for the tag "space". Our tags are a little tricky, they mostly exist to help us offer guided searches and make sure certain styles come up when you're looking for something specific. See, if you search "space" you get 45 different styles, a whole lot of which are space dye.
It's an awesome and an enjoyable browse. But if we want to show off our space themed socks for a space-themed reason, we need a more precise search. That's where our tag system comes in. It makes sure that things that don't have the word "space" in their copy at all (like the Rhinestone Starlight Knee Highs) show up if you search for "space" while also letting us make a laser guided selection of styles that are more specifically about space.
And all of that is just a long-winded way to explain the funny looking stuff that shows up before a search term sometimes when we point you to our Advanced Search here on the Sock Journal or out on our social media.
Let's get back to space. We're a little loose with the term, but if there are copious stars, planets or what have you, we'll make sure they're there when you search "space." Sure, a couple are a little more grounded than floating free,
• Mystic Moon Crew •
• Man on the Moon Knee Highs •
And others are a bit more goofy and playful than maybe your particular idea of "space", but their heart is in the right place (that place is space).
• Grumpy Cat Grumpy Space Leggings •
• 8-Bit Invaders Knee High •
If you want to explore a more specific quadrant, the tag "stars" nets you not only the celestial bodies, but the classic shape and other, more artistic renderings.
• Constellation Midcalf •
• Star Crew •
• Starry Night Knee High •
If you need the kind of stars that are separate suns, each offering light and warmth to a system of worlds, then using the old school search tip of "AND" to link the "stars" and "space" tag tightens up the bounds a little. Not a lot, but a little.
See, space is this ever-present thing that inspires so much human design. It's always right there, on the other side of the night sky, so of course we're going to use our ideas of things like the moon in everything from semi-scientific illustration to purely symbolic shapes.
• Planets Knee High •
• Sun Moon Stars Crew •
The vastness of space is like an open sea to swim our imagination in. There's a space dye colour for that, actually, "Space Ocean"!
• Space Dyed Knee Highs •
• Space Dyed Terry Baby Booties •
• Space Dyed Terry Shorties •
Though it may not be what you're looking for, when you're looking for space, space dyed styles, with their unpredictable layering of different yarn colours, evoke some of that magic, mystery and fun of that expanse just beyond our sky.

Three years at the Indigo Building!
Holy moly, not only does this year make it three entire years we've been at Indigo HQ, but our brick-and-mortar shop has been in Sellwood exactly twice as long! Six years ago we got our little shop in Sellwood, setting in motion the luck that brought us to a new HQ and stockroom space just a few blocks away.
In all that time we've really settled into this little area, finding places to go for photoshoots, like the amusement park, where we commandeered a carousel to shoot some stripes:
Or our the dreamy gelato cart that shows up in the summer behind our shop:
Last year I talked about the cool places we were finding in the neighbourhood to shoot socks and, in general, several awesome new things have happened to help our product photos. Since we mostly rely on Dreamers as models, we have to find places nearby (so we don't totally disrupt the workday).
That's what made one of the newest things so great! There's been lots of construction doings at Westmoreland park the past couple of years and they finally finished! Improving the water space for birds and fish, adding awesome play areas for the community and so much more, it's become a favourite place to get the perfect sock shot! The placid pond (with duck in blurry background) and rad rockpile for adventurous climbing were just what we needed as backdrops for the Here There Be Monsters Midcalves!
The park is actually a healthy walk away and we don't always have time to trek out there. It can make it difficult to keep things interesting, visually and for model and photographer, when you're using the same space over and over. Luckily (or not?), when I needed a background to make the Rhinestone Starlight Knee Highs really pop, our parking lot helped out by bursting and sagging in a way that looked like a barren moonscape. It's patched now though, because parking on the moon is a pain.
It's not just finding new places to shoot, sometimes we need new feet. Our Dreamers rock and are awesome models, but there are only so many of us and that means there are only so many body types and fit experiences for testing styles.
Thanks to our Tumblr, we were able to put out the call to some awesome folks near us to come and model (and test!) some new products. Having our HQ in a place with good spots to go shoot made it all the more fun and easy (being in the heart of spring with the best petal-fall ever was a plus!) to work with these gorgeous folks!
• Big Tights Co. 20 Denier Tights •
We don't always have to look outside HQ to find new models! Two pairs of little feet who accompany their mom to HQ are growing up into pretty amazing people who are super good at sitting still, even if the oldest is three. Yup, the biggest of our little feet came around not too shortly before we moved to Indigo HQ!
• Infant & Toddler Monster Stripes Two Packs •
There's one more change at Indigo HQ that I haven't taken enough advantage of and that's the little photo studio corner that has been set up inside. I did find it to be the perfect background for the dramatic Sheer Woven Diamond Illusion Tights, but with all this nice weather nowadays I'm taking outdoors while I can get it.
Three whole years at Indigo HQ and twice that at the Sellwood Shop! How time flies when you're dreaming of socks!

DIY: Lace Footies
It's been warming up here in Portland, Oregon and finding the right socks for this weather has been a real chore for us! If you've also been perusing our Summer Collection for socks to wear while trying to beat the heat, you've probably noticed an unofficial theme of lightweight and openwork items. Together, the two make for a cute and comfy combination that is perfect for the warmer weather! We have a quick and simple way to add some visual interest to those footies and no-shows that only requires some basic sewing skills.
For this project you will need the following items:
• A pair of footies or no-shows; we chose the Vera No Shows. Not only are they a soft, recycled cotton blend made in the USA, they have a white contrast cuff around the sides and back that went perfectly with the trim we found.
• A form to stretch the sock on while sewing; we used the form that the footies came on as a sort of guide while sewing these. However, if you don't have one you could always try the sock on and measure how long your trim needs to be.
• Your choice of trim; we went with a cotton eyelet lace
• Scissors
• A sewing needle
• Pins
• Thread that matches your socks
• A bottle of anti-fraying glue (we used Fray Block)
Step One: Turn your sock inside out and place it on the form your footies were packaged on to determine how long your trim needs to be. You can also try the sock on and measure out the trim that way. Begin pinning the trim along the front of your footie.
Step Two: Using a basic running stitch, sew your trim to the sock. Be careful when doing this step because if you sew the trim to the footie without checking the stretch, it might be too tight! Make sure you check the tension.
Step Three: Cut off the trim where it meets the side edges of the sock and apply an anti-fraying glue to the freshly cut ends of the trim to make sure they stay tidy.
Once you've completed the last step, simply repeat on the other sock. After the glue dries, you are good to go!
If you have any suggestions or tips for adding sweet little adornments to your socks, we would love to hear them! Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Kae Sa Luk: Thai Fruit Carving
Kae Sa Luk, the ancient art of Thai fruit carving, transforms fruit and vegetables to create a feast for the eyes. Fruit carvings can range from delicate edible garnishes to …large, elaborate sculptures. When done skillfully, Thai fruit carving is a truly spectacular accompaniment to a special Thai meal.Fruit carving is an art that has been practiced in Thailand for centuries. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables are painstakingly carved into abstract patterns or pleasing natural forms, such as birds, animals, and flowers. The carvings are often intricate and made colorful by carving to varying depths to display the contrast of colors between the peel, rind, and flesh of the same fruit.Thai fruit carving is said to have originated during the 14th century in the historical Thai capital of Sukhothai. During the lunar festival of Loi Krathong the king's royal consort, Nang Noppharat, created an elaborate carving to include in the ceremony of floating displays. Originally an art restricted to ladies of the royal court, in modern days, fruit carving is taught in Thai primary schools in order to preserve the skill.Fruits and vegetables are easiest to carve if they have relatively firm flesh that will retain its shape, but are not too hard to carve easily. A smooth surface and uniform shape also produce a pleasing appearance. Any type of fruit or vegetable can be used, but popular choices include watermelons, pumpkins, mangoes, and papayas. Garnishes are often carved from pieces of peeled fruit and vegetables, like slices of carrot.There are numerous highly specialized tools for fruit carving, but to begin it is most important to have a small, sharp knife with a pointed tip. It is best if the knife is lightweight, or your hand will become fatigued over time. Fruit carving knives come in a variety of sizes and shapes: some straight, some with slightly slightly curved blades, and some with crinkle cut patterns. Other tools include peelers, melon ballers, and coring tools.Try these [simple leaves made of pineapple and watermelon](http://recipes.answers.com/recipe/1196437/thai-fruit-carving-a-simple-leaf#slide=1) and check out these [tips for beginning fruit carving](http://recipes.answers.com/article/1196462/six-tips-for-thai-fruit-carving-success). Once you have mastered some basic forms, you'll be ready to use your imagination to create some patterns of your own. If you are ready to tackle more advanced carvings, you may wish to buy a book about Thai fruit carving, or even visit Thailand and take a fruit carving class to hone your skills.Even a very basic fruit carving can add a note of artistry to your plate. Fruit carving is a beautiful, fun way to express your creativity in a way that will enhance your next Thai meal. (MORE)

Cardiac Function: A Medical Overview of the Heart's Electrical System
One of the unique features of cells located in the heart is the ability to conduct electricity. Electricity moving along the heart triggers the various cells in the heart to c…ontract, causing a heartbeat. The origination of this electric current also determines the heart rate. Electricity is generated by cells in the heart. All of this electricity is generated and directed by the cardiac electrical system.The heart produces electricity due to ions of calcium, potassium and sodium entering and exiting heart muscle cells. This is known as the sodium-potassium pump. Normally, sodium is located outside the body and potassium is located inside the body; when these ions switch places, the body uses active transport to return potassium to the inside of the cell and move sodium outside the cell. This causes an electrical charge to occur and is an integral part of the cardiac electrical system.The sinoatrial (SA) node is where the cells of the sodium-potassium pump are mainly located. When electricity is generated, it passes through the SA node. The SA node is known as the body's "natural pacemaker" as it sets the rate at which this electricity is released. The amount of electricity released is proportional to the heart rate. During times of rest, the SA node releases electricity that causes the heart rate to occur somewhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The SA node releases electricity into the cells of the atria.The atrioventricular (AV) node is located at a point between the atria and ventricles. Upon receiving electricity from the SA node and atria, the AV node regulates the electricity into the Bundle of His. The AV node also contains cells that are able to create electricity. That said, the amount of electricity created by the AV node is less than the amount that is created in the SA node. In the event of an SA node malfunction, the AV node is capable of serving as a "backup pacemaker." A heart controlled by the AV node is capable of beating 40-60 times a minute.The bundle of His transfers electricity from the AV node into the ventricles. This electricity is transferred from the bundle of His into several branching fibers known as the Purkinje fibers. These fibers branch of into different portions of the ventricles. The release of this electricity causes ventricular contraction. The bundle of His is also capable of generating electrical current in the event of SA and AV node failure. A heart controlled by the bundle of His is capable of beating 20-40 times per minute.Electricity is generated in the SA node via the sodium-potassium pump. From there, electricity passes through the atria and into the AV node. Electricity passing through the atria on the way to the AV node causes the atria to contract. The AV node transfers electricity to the bundle of His and the Purkinje fibers. This causes ventricular contraction. The hearts electrical system stimulates the cells in the heart to beat.The depolarization cycle of the heart is mapped by an electrocardiogram. The P wave represents the SA node, the PR interval represents the AV node, the QRS wave represents the Purkinje fibers and the ST segment represents the repolarization of the ventricles. Medical personnel use the waveform created by the ECG to diagnosis cardiac electrical conduction problems by comparing the waves to the normal standard. (MORE)

The Sony SA-NS400 projects music in one room of your house. With multiple speakers and high-quality sound, this product is far better than a traditional CD or iPod player.The …Sony SA-NS400 HomeShare Wi-Fi Network Speaker is a wireless, single-speaker system. This product sounds simple, but it actually has 360-degree sound projection capability, and it contains four two-way speakers and a built-in subwoofer.

When playing music content, you have the ability to bookmark up to 30 music selections. Simply press the call button, and your bookmarked music appears on your computer's screen.One major drawback of this product is that it doesn't offer good sound quality if you are stationary. The stereo separation is narrow, so it doesn't sound as good as when you are across the room from the speaker. The speaker also emits static if you place it near certain electronic devices.Another problem with this product is that you have to buy more Sony products to get all of the features to work. For example, you need to buy another Sony Homeshare device to control the speaker remotely.The Sony SA-NS400 offers great room-filling sound, but it does not sound as good if you are sitting close to the speaker. In addition, you have to buy other Sony products to use all of its features. Overall, this speaker is a simple solution for room-filling sound.Setting up the Sony SA-NS400 HomeShare Wi-Fi Network Speaker is quick and easy, but you need to be sure that your computer has a compatible operating system.

The Voice Recap: Battle On, Xtina! [Updated]
Most reality singing competitions are structured in a way that, by the time the audition rounds are reaching completion, they've been relegated to background noise while you fold two weeks' worth of clean laundry. Or they leave you longing for a grizzly bear to bust through your front door and consume you whole, just so you don't have to listen to 'em anymore.
But The Voice — with its jaunty judges' camaraderie, its international good vibrations (even when singers get rejected), and the fascinating ebb and flow of Christina Aguilera's cleavage — provides the polar opposite experience. As the four mentors each finished filling out their 16-member teams tonight, the soothing strains of Gloria Estefan's "Don't Let This Moment End" began to fill my brain. (And no, it's not every day I involuntarily travel back the dance club in my mind, circa 1998.)
Okay, okay, enough about my rich inner fantasy land! Let's rank the eight singers who broke on through to the other side (AKA the Battle Rounds) during the final Blind Auditions episode of Season 3. Yeahm my brain is already starting to fret about the Battles — if every contestant from the 25-and-up group gets bumped off by a teenager, I assure you I'll be sending a strongly worded Tweet to @NBCTheVoice! — but let's try to stay focused on the task at hand:
8) Nathalie Hernandez's "White Horse" (Team Xtina) | This 15-year-old definitely has some talent, but as the song progressed, she hit some notes so flat (especially on the phrase "rear-view mirror") they could've used 'em to adjust a bubble level.
7) Nicole Johnson's "Mr. Know It All" (Team Blake) | I liked the huskier, mature part of her voice, and the fact that she put a country spin on Kelly Clarkson — but there were parts of the song where Nicole's ambition exceeded her skill set. Could this teenager who moved to Nashville and got home-schooled in pursuit of her dreams need a little more experience before she's ready to tackle Mount Kelly? (Side note: I did love Blake's zinger about Nicole's countrified pronunciation of "thing" — "You had me at thang.")
6) Rudy Parris' "Every Breath You Take" (Team Blake) | I wasn't expecting the gentle dad to take a Police ballad and give it a small infusion of twang — not after he discussed his early love of Kiss — but once I adjusted my preconceptions, I heard a guy with a pleasing, round tone and a solid grasp on pitch, even if he wasn't exactly bubbling over with personal magnetism.
5) Caitlin Michele's "Cosmic Love" (Team Adam) | It was going to take a big voice to steal the spotlight from Caitlin's friend's crazy twirly moustache and her own turquoise-soaked locks, and the good news is that indeed she did. Now, though, Adam needs to make Caitlin prove she's a relevant artist in her own right, not just a good Florence + the Machine mimic.
4) Celica Westbrook's "A Thousand Years" (Team Xtina) | Xtina was right that Celica has a radio-ready voice, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have preferred something a little more lively and youthful for this already industry vet to make her grand entrance. As Blake noted when Cecilia revealed she was 16, "What are they giving these kids?!"
3) Chevonne's "Brass in Pocket" (Team Cee Lo) | Lady Gaga's former backup singer proved her good taste by choosing a most excellent Pretenders' ditty, then proved her talent with what Cee Lo called a perfect vocal. So how come it took Mr. Green and Mr. Shelton so long to turn around? Was there a producer screaming into their earpieces, "Wait! Wait! We're getting an awesome anxiety attack/mental meltdown from Chevonne's pure Jersey mama!"? ("YEAH GIRL! WE LOVE YOU!")
2) Cody Belew's "Hard to Handle" (Team Cee Lo) | Okay, so I'm not sure if "Hard to Handle" did a lot to show off the chops of this flamboyant son of a rodeo rider, but there's no denying he worked the stage with an Elvis-ian swagger. Unfortunately for Cody, though, he had his back turned to the judges at the end of his number, so he didn't witness Cee Lo spinning his chair and inviting him to the Battle Rounds. When he finally realized what was happening, Cody gave us this expletive-laced tirade of joy: "Shut your f——mouth! You hit it! You hit it!" And even though Cee Lo was the only judge left with an open spot on his team, I think this match might be the start of a beautiful Voice trajectory. After all, both guys are both good at "bam-bam."

Tan Vinh's take on tenant-run businesses at the Greenbridge public-housing development in Seattle's White Center area.
Popped into one of the coolest coffeehouses in the South End recently. Heard some inspirational stories from public-housing tenants turned business owners across the shop.
This strip is located in White Center, but not that White Center, with the pho houses, Salvadorean Bakery and Asian groceries around the main drag.
It's a mile away from the commercial district, in a community called Greenbridge, a mixed-income housing project, with up to 922 subsidized and market-rate housing units for rent and for sale. Parks, public sculptures and trails are scattered among this 95-acre complex, along with several social service agencies and a library.
Greenbridge will have 400-450 houses for sale and 472 rental units in the near future. Most rental units are already occupied.

The few businesses in this complex are the promise of things to come, White Center community leaders and King County Housing Authority officials hope.

Here's a look at businesses on Eighth Avenue Southwest, the main drag in Greenbridge.
