"Lovely Small City in Central Limburg" Top 5 Page for this destination Roermond by BillNJ
Roermond Travel Guide: 75 reviews and 147 photos
The German VTers that I met on my trip knew of Roermond only as the site of the large McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Center. I hope that my VT page helps to show that Roermond has more to offer a tourist than simply this popular outlet shopping center.
Roermond is located in the middle of the Province of Limburg where the Roer River meets the Maas River (aka the Meuse River). The Roermond city center has a pedestrian zone with shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafes, churches, and other attractions. The most picturesque area of the city center is the Munsterplein in which you will find the magnificent Munsterkerk (Munster Church) that was re-designed by the famous architect, P.J.H. Cuypers. In the Munsterplein, there is also a statue of Cuypers who was born in Roermond.
It only takes a couple of hours to see the major attractions in the Roermond city center. After doing so, you can then walk through the short pedestrian tunnel to the McArthur Glen Designer Outlets where you will find top brand-name merchandise at discounted prices.
One of the main reasons that I chose to spend a day in the small city of Roermond is that it is very easy to access by train. I traveled to Roermond from Düsseldorf with a brief stopover in Venlo. If you immediately get on the connecting train in Venlo, the entire trip takes approximately an hour. Then, if you are staying in the Hotel Roermond (like I did), you only have a very short walk to your room. In fact, the walk is less than one block -- and you don't even have to cross the street!
When I left Roermond, I took a train directly to Maastricht which takes approximately 40 minutes. From Maastricht, it is only about 30 minutes to Liège, Belgium. In Liège, you can get a train going east to Brussels -- or west to Cologne.
The small city of Roermond has a relaxed atmosphere. If you are seeking a fast-paced city with lots of famous tourist attractions, you probably want to head north to Amsterdam. However, if you want to experience a lovely small city in the south of the Netherlands without a lot of tourists, Roermond is a good place to check out.
- Pros:Convenient by train, compact city center, relaxed atmosphere
- Cons:Few notable tourist attractions
- In a nutshell:More than the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Center!

For a brief stop over-you captured the essence of this town very well. It looks like a fairy tale setting that a visitor can relax and take in the sites. Nice job.
With all this great architecture, Bill, I don't think I'd make it to the mall. Or maybe it's the Christoffel Bier that would keep me from shopping. Good on you for finding that one. Prost!
Just returned from the Netherlands and Belgium and wish I had stumbled across your pages before I left. Nice info ;-)
Hi Bill, Just the type of town we like. Asia has nice hoels 7 restaurants, but you need to research. Chiang Mai, everyone loves it. In May we had10 days in Singapore and Kuching (Borneo). Kuching is an ideal destination, still retains some of its past.
I like the look of the Munsterkerk! Sounds like you had a nice visit!
You have been a few places, unknown by most tourists who come to Europe! However I don't share your idea about Heineken :-) Looks as if you stayed in a nice hotel. The kitchen is a plus indeed. A place to keep in mind!
Good page about this destination which is not on most toursists itinerary! The Christoffel Beer tip is among my favourites :)
Nice to see Roermond is more than just a shopper's paradise.
I fully agree to your Beer- comments! They got really delicious beers!
Excellent beer tips..highly recommended:) thanks for yr visiting to my Valparaiso pages.brgds.

How to Find out How Much Something Is Worth
It could be: "I have a collection of 3D Disney plates. Mint condition with papers and box. How much are they worth?" Or it could be something much larger or much smaller. How do you find out just how much your "something" is worth? Read on to find out the most common ways for pricing your material possessions.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Look online. The easiest place to find values for items is online. Choice places to check out include:
- Your favorite search engine
- Your favorite auction sites and other auctions sites less frequented
- Antique and antiquarian dealer sites
- National and state libraries
- Art galleries and museums
- Collector's blogs and sites
2Visit the library and look up relevant books. Look in the antiques and collectibles section and see if there are pricing books for collectibles. Ask the librarian for help, as the books might be in the reference section.
3Judge the value depending on the item. Working out the value will be highly dependent on a range of factors, including what the item in question is, and most importantly, demand for it. Things to consider include:
- Similar items selling a certain price range
- Condition of your item (the more damage, the less value)
- Rarity of your item
- Length of time similar items have been on the market
- Geographical availability (for example, it might be worth a lot more in another country, or vice versa).
4Ask a professional. After you've done your initial research and you're fairly certain that your item is worth something, have it valued properly by a professional in the relevant industry. Antique dealers often have valuers available who will be happy to help out. There are also antiques TV shows in some countries that appraise the value of items for customers who happen to be in the right place at the right time; write to them for more information.

not enough time
Scent is "off"
Posted by Reviewer2403207 on Sep 21, 2014
I usually love NOW foods products, but this one, like another reviewer mentioned, smells slightly "off". It doesn't really smell like real lavender. It almost smells oxidized or just an oil gone "bad", although I know it's not. In fact, taking a whiff from this bottle made me nauseous, and that never happens with the other lavender oil I bought from another company. So although this oil may have the same effects as other more expensive lavender oils, if you're drawn to lavender oil because of its beautiful scent then this is definitely not it. PS: I've purchased high quality lavender oil in the past from reputable essential oil companies that smell like real lavender. But they also cost 3 times as much. The company I use charges $22 per 1 oz lavender. This lavender oil was just ok, but I probably wouldn't buy it again.

If this is your only option , then fine buy it. Oils are best if are of food-grade and therapeutic quality. This fails the test.

you want to talk about styles make fights, Holyfield is a nightmare for Wlad. Holyfield is one of the most complete fighters ever. He can fight agressively, box, side to side, up and down, over and under, front to back, it's a goddamn disaster for Wlad. Wlad on the other hand has to have it his way the whole time. Nothing can go wrong, or it REALLY goes wrong. Holyfield by KO any round he wants after the 3rd round, after he figures out what Wlad brings to the table. Wladimir never had to deal with a mother****er like Holyfield. He gets hit with one right hand from a slow, plodding Wach and covers up on the ropes in a position you'll never see him in voluntarily ever. Sure Wlad can frustrate Holyfield with his bear hug tactics, but Holyfield's will and skill is too strong. If it even makes it to the late rounds, while Wlad is gassing, Holyfield is just getting started. It won't take many hard shots from Holyfield to put Wlad down.

 IBM System Networking Wins Golden Bridge Award for Business Innovation

I am delighted to report that IBM received the 4th Annual Golden Bridge Award for Business Innovation. The award was given for System Networking's IBM RackSwitch G8264 with OpenFlow. IBM is leading the way in driving one of the foremost innovations in business technology -- Software Defined Networking (SDN). IBM is one of the first vendors to implement a new data center networking protocol known as OpenFlow for the enterprise. Software Defined Networking using OpenFlow has been standardized through the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) with the collaboration of global network and cloud operators, universities and research labs, and led by IBM and other industry leaders.

SDN enables the separation of network intelligence from the underlying network hardware -- using interoperable software to make the system network more agile, optimized and responsive. The IBM RackSwitch G8264 with OpenFlow supports the rise of Big Data, in which applications, workloads and systems are continuously generating vast amounts of information. Today's networks are based on hardware, and thus can be too static to support today's torrent of information. Software Defined Networking promises innovations to turn today's networks into programmable infrastructure with the flexibility of today's computers.

With the new IBM Programmable Network Controller and OpenFlow-enabled RackSwitch G8264, IBM is one of a very few vendors to offer a complete SDN solution. IBM's SDN solution is enabling greater control over data center infrastructures. This enables data center and network operators to employ a software-defined network fabric with workload-prioritized performance, optimized quality of service and pattern-based system integration.

Congratulations are in order to everyone on the IBM System Networking team who work so hard to deliver innovation every day for the world's most demanding clients.

 IBM delivers smarter virtual networks with new OpenFlow controller

Industry pundits are calling software defined networking the most exciting and disruptive enterprise networking technology in decades. With the announcement of the new IBM System Networking Programmable Network Controller, IBM now provides a complete OpenFlow solution (the new controller plus IBM switch).

Just as IBM was first to market with a 10/40GbE OpenFlow-enabled switch, IBM is now leading the market with a complete SDN OpenFlow solution for the agile data center. By aggressively adopting, and contributing to, this new design paradigm, IBM is again demonstrating its commitment to innovation in order to meet and exceed customers' needs for increased IT and business efficiency, competitiveness and creativity.

As one of the few Tier 1 vendors with any kind of SDN solution, we're very excited to bring this complete solution to companies and organizations worldwide. And, to demonstrate IBM's commitment to IT and business innovation.

IBM's new software defined networking (SDN) controller is an addition to our enterprise networking portfolio. It provides intelligent software using the OpenFlow standard for the IBM RackSwitch G8264 and other OpenFlow-enabled switches. Using OpenFlow, our clients can create virtual networks with the scalability and flexibility required to respond to changes in cloud and mobile services environments.

Customers tell us that IBM's commitment to interoperability and standards enables them to significantly reduce cost and time-to-value by increasing their networking intelligence. Now that SDN and OpenFlow are not just for research institutions anymore; financial services, software companies, cloud providers and web enterprises are increasingly adopting these new technologies to increase performance and user control.

Listening to what customers need, we've designed our new controller to dramatically simplify what is a very complex and expensive management task today. It also allows enterprise data centers to:

Squeeze out costs from network administration.

Mitigate business risk with flexible controls and management of network flows based on business policy.

Deploy a "pay as you grow" scalable fabric that can be cost-effectively implemented with immediate benefits, accelerating time-to-market.

Use all resources efficiently.

The controller's technical advantages include:

An OpenFlow-based network fabric with centralized control of network flows and virtual machine mobility, simplifying management.

Increase in operational efficiency by automating network changes rather than requiring an admin to make CLI changes.

Ability to transform traditional networking into an open, flexible model, dramatically increasing business agility and resource productivity while reducing costs.

A pay-as-you-grow option allowing new applications or growth to leverage the advantages of IBM's Programmable Network Controller

Ideal solution for multi-tenant environments and those where business continuity is critical.

A resilient network for self-healing after an outage.

SDN and virtual networks are opening a new world of possibilities - what new or improved capabilities and services do you see SDN and OpenFlow providing?

 IBM and NEC Team Up to Enable Industry Innovators to Transform their Networks with OpenFlow

On Tuesday, IBM and NEC jointly announced several customers who are adopting a new networking technology called OpenFlow. As you may know, many CEOs and CIOs are hearing the hype around the new OpenFlow protocol for data centers, but what should they know about this technology and how can it benefit their organizations beyond the IT department?

If you have not yet heard of it, OpenFlow is a disruptive networking technology that offers a new level of interoperability and user control and which can ultimately transform the very economics of data centers. OpenFlow has been developed over the past several years at Stanford University as a new way to implement what is known as Software-Defined Networking or SDN.

It was initially created for researchers and universities as a tool to allow experimentation with new protocols and is now showing great promise for today's highly virtualized enterprise and cloud computing networks.

OpenFlow is being promoted by the Open Networking Foundation founded by six companies that own and operate some of the largest networks in the world — Deutsche Telekom, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Verizon and Yahoo! — as well as close to 50 member companies, including IBM and NEC, as well as other major equipment vendors, software suppliers and IC technology providers. OpenFlow promises a level of benefits to the network similar to what virtualization brings to servers.

I am extremely pleased that IBM and NEC are teaming up to help leading innovators adopt OpenFlow-based networking to transform their networks. Using a new IBM-NEC OpenFlow solution that integrates the OpenFlow-enabled IBM RackSwitch G8264 with NEC's pFlow controller, these innovators are harnessing OpenFlow to power dynamic networks, manage massive amounts of information and deliver new services.

Stanford University, the originators of the OpenFlow protocol, will deploy IBM and NEC's solution in a parallel network to test OpenFlow's applicability to the university's production environment.

Tervela, provider of a market-leading, distributed data fabric, has validated that this solution delivers a breakthrough in dynamic networking to ensure predictable performance of Big Data for complex and demanding business environments, such as global trading, risk analysis and e-commerce, by automatically segregating network traffic based on real-time statistics.

Selerity, provider of ultra-low latency event data, will employ IBM and NEC's OpenFlow solution to accelerate real-time decision-making for global financial markets, distributing data across a global low-latency network in an innovative way that can be as much as 1,000 times faster than a conventional server-based application.

OpenFlow has evolved rapidly beyond research and academia to enterprise and IT, and IBM and NEC are leading the industry in building an open ecosystem for OpenFlow innovation and delivering the industry's first, complete high-performance commercial OpenFlow solution.

This collaboration reflects the reality that the data center network is vital to business, driving new ways for users to control the functionality of networks to meet application requirements, for cloud, Big Data/analytics and high performance computing, more simply, flexibly and intelligently.

For more information about this innovative new solution, please view the following resources:

 •IBM White Paper: OpenFlow-The Next Generation in Networking Interoperability

 • ESG Tech Brief: IBM and NEC Bring SDN/OpenFlow to Enterprise Data Center Networks

How do you see data centers taking advantage of OpenFlow's capabilities to make networks smarter by enabling users with greater control over network security, performance and complexity?

"Most amazing Trip"
I have just read the very bad review for this apartment on Eden Island where we stayed recently. I have to say we had a totally different experience, and enjoyed our stay immensely. We booked the one-bedroom apartment and it was beautiful - decorated in blue and white with great attention to detail and very well equipped.
We arrived a few hours before check-in and spent the time exploring Eden Island in the golf-cart, visiting the little beaches and reclining at the pool at the clubhouse. I find it rather hard to believe why people would rather sit in a hot car for hours on a tropical Island!
We found the owner, Marilyn Burger, to be very helpful, suggesting places to visit, her favourite restaurants and where to shop on Mahe. All this made for an unforgettable holiday in "Paradise".
We would definitely return, and would stay in the same apartment next time.I can't wait!

"Marilyn Burger Ruined The Start Of Our Honeymoon"
Terrible and chaotic start to our honeymoon!
We booked the apartment several months in advance with Marilyn Burger, 23 Citronelle, Eden Island. We were advised that the apartment in the photos was exactly the apartment we were paying for, a two bedroom top floor apartment, she further verified it would be nowhere near the construction.
We had to wait from 7:30am until 1:30pm to finally get in to our apartment we paid for. They tried to put us in a 1 bedroom apartment in a construction area when we paid for a 2 bedroom top floor apartment in the photos.
Eden Island staff told Marilyn that we arrived and were waiting in the car, she said she was not interested in talking to us and left for the day leaving us in a car in the heat after an 18 hour flight.
Marilyn called by about 4:30pm, firstly saying that we were in the wrong apartment and needed to move. Then she said that her computer software that managed payments mistakenly put in the 2 bedroom apartment by default, then she said she only shows the apartment at 23 Citronelle as an example of what the other one is like, then she asked that we pay more money for the apartment. She said she had another family coming in 2 days so could we not move since we are a couple and a 1 bedroom apartment would do us. All of this we later found out was lies. She was on the island with a friend and wanted to stay in the 2 bedroom for herself. She did not care about ruining our honeymoon.
We paid a lot of money, we flew first class to the Seychelles, only for the dream honeymoon to be ruined by this lady. We would never advise anyone to stay here based on our experience.
The security and cleaning staff are very nice, and helped us, but Marilyn Burger did nothing for us and walked off leaving us to sit in a car in the heat after an 18 hour flight on our arrival. We do not recommend this particular unit on Eden Island.

Response from the , Marilyn Burger - 09/03/2013
In response to this most unfortunate incident, I feel I must explain what happened. The guests had booked and paid for a one bed-roomed apartment (which is decorated in the same way as the larger apartment), which would have been ready for them when they arrived at 7.30am. They were shown to the 2 bed-bedroomed apartment by mistake which was not yet ready. Check in is at 2.00pm. There was no need to wait in a hot car for three hours - there is a beautiful clubhouse with pool, beaches and restaurants nearby.
I was on the Island at the time (staying in a friend's apartment which I was decorating), and only heard of the problem in the afternoon. I went to see the guests to explain what happened, but they refused to move. I allowed them to stay on and arranged for the guests who were arriving two days later, to be accommodated in another apartment. It no point did I request that they pay extra for the two-bedroomed apartment.
I had hoped that these guests were compensated for their unfortunate start to their honeymoon. I have been letting the apartment for four years and have had nothing but glowing reports in the past with an average of 5 star rating. I will however make sure that this does not happen again in the future.

"Amazing stay in a beautiful place"
This apartment on Eden Island was a real find. My husband and I stayed there last week with our three children, ages 10, 8 and 5 years. The apartment is a comfortable 2 bedroom place with all the amenities you could possibly need to make this a home away from home - but one with stunning views from each window. Very well maintained. We opted for alternate day cleaning which was priced reasonably. Marilyn is the perfect host - she can be reached easily via email and helped us out long distance to trouble shoot minor issues, gave us an excellent itinerary that was our most reliable guide, and all in all did everything and more to make sure we had a comfortable stay.
The club car was one of the big highlights for our children, and made getting around the island so easy with the big bonus of peace and quiet all around at all times. The deli supplies all essentials needed for an extended stay, and even though we did not use the gym and pools, they appear well maintained. We spent an afternoon at anse Bernitier which is a great beach. The VMa office was always helpful.
The car park is more of a construction site than anything else, with some additional sections of the island and a hotel + shopping complex under construction. However, this does not in any way affect you as soon as you leave the car park behind and enter the residential part of the island, which is really peaceful. Absolue Spa is definitely worth a visit!
Eden Island is well located, close to the airport and town. Mahe is not a big island, but I would recommend getting a car. The beaches are stunning, the water temperature just perfect, and the people very friendly and helpful. We definitely plan to go back and I wouldn't choose to stay anywhere else. We don't like the insularity that often comes with staying in a resort, but like our comforts, and this provided the perfect balance.
Thanks Marilyn, for making our stay a memorable one.

"Magical Seychelles"
We have spent a week in magical Eden Island complex on Seychelles at the end of September.
The flat is very spacious, well equipped and luxurious. Everything, including the gas braai on the terrace, to the smalls in the kitchen has been brought from South africa. The position is magnificent, all around you is a marina with turquoise water so you can sit there all they long and enjoy.
You get a golf cart for transport within a complex, but i think that the car rental is essential for Mahe. Anyway, the owner recommended car rental company and the prices we got from this company were excellent - no need to look for other rentals, trust me, you are going to waste your time.
There is a small shop in the complex but if you want truly self catering holiday, you will have to shop around, because there isn't a single shop in Seychelles that will have anything you require. But everything is short drive away and highly accessible.
There is a pool very close to the flat which was added benefit. The beaches on Eden Island are not the best, only one is so-so, and there are still works going on. As for the peace and quiet, while there were building works going on on the island, they are not affecting you while having a holiday there.
Looking at the hotels at the Seychelles and their more and more sorry state, i think that the Eden Island accommodation is the best one can get on the island at the moment. I wouldn't even compare it to hotel accommodation, it is so much better. The owner, Marylin Burger was also very helpful, gave us tips and hints and she made our stay there even better than we hoped. the whole Seychelles experience was more than beach and accommodation, it was like going back in time, 30 years and more, and feeling good about it.
As a tip, i suggest everybody to go to the local cinema in Victoria and watch a movie - still shown from the old celluloid tapes, with the old projector that has to be cooled in the middle of the movie - hence intermission. Y

"Winter getaway"
We stayed at 23 Citronelle Eden Island for a week during June and were suprised how good the weather was in the Seychelles for that time of the year . The days were mild to hot without the humidity that you experience in the Summer months.
The Eden Island development is truely unique and beautiful in design and layout .The villas and apartments are all individual in design but blend in perfectly and have an almost asian or Bali feel to it.Although they are still building on the Island it had no effect whatsoever on our stay . The apartment 23 Citronelle is beautiffully presented well equipped with the best of modern appliances and very comfortable .The blue and white decor compliments the view from the living room and master bedroom which look out over the yacht basin and the Indian Ocean . The second bedroom looks out over the mountains at the back and the view is just as magnificent . We will visit Eden Island again. You have everthything there -luxury , beauty comfort and good food at one of 3 good restaurants on the Eden Island development site .

"Would definitely recommend"
A great apartment just a few minutes from the airport. The balcony looks over the Eden Island waterways and out of the marina. It's a great spot for relaxing BBQs in the evening. Transport on Eden is via EPV's (ie. golf carts) so the atmosphere is very quiet and tranquil. There are two nice beaches a short walk away with some excellent snorkelling around Eden Island. There is a small shop, a gym and two restaurants handy so there is no need to leave the island if you don't want to. Eden Island is very well managed and the staff are friendly. I don't have a single complaint. What an exceptionally relaxing holiday, I can't recommend it enough.

"Great fun and value for money"
A great holiday in a well appointed, beautifuly furnished, modern apartment.
It is fun getting around on the private buggy on Eden Island. A trip into town by public bus is easy and a great way to see the local way of life. Views form the apartments' 2 patios are beautiful. Sea access is from the mooring infront of the building, so easy.
This is a holiday well worth a repeat in the same apartment. Great value for money

SAN FRANCISCO (PAI) - The 1.2 million present and former female Wal-Mart workers who are victims of the monster retailer's past and continuing sexual discrimination in pay and promotions urged the U.S. Supreme Court to let their massive class action suit against Wal-Mart proceed to trial in lower courts.
In a brief filed Oct. 21, attorneys for the women said the justices should let the federal court in San Francisco hear the case, rather than approve Wal-Mart's demand that the high court decide whether a class action suit is merited at all.
Wal-Mart wants to force the women to sue it one by one for discrimination in pay and promotions since the day after Christmas in 1999. The case has been kicking around lower federal courts since 2001, mostly delayed by Wal-Mart's attempts to stall it or break it up.
"This latest appeal is just another attempt to delay the case," said Betty Dukes of Pittsburg, Calif., the lead plaintiff against Wal-Mart. Dukes had been a greeter and the case carries her name. "After nearly 10 years, the women of Wal-Mart deserve our day in court," she said.
"Premature review risks wasting the [Supreme] Court's resources because legal issues may change or be mooted by the time of any final judgment. Class certification orders, which may be altered or amended before final judgment, are especially fluid," the women's lawyers said. "This case is particularly ill-suited for review because even the scope of the class certification remains unsettled."
Then, to get their point across, the women cited the intellectual leader of the High Court's conservative bloc, Justice Antonin Scalia, as opposing premature review of lower courts' orders. "We generally await final judgment in the lower courts before exercising our jurisdiction," they quoted Scalia as saying.
Venal, vicious Wal-Mart, the world's largest private retailer, is known for its always-low pay, always-bad benefits and its rampant labor law-breaking against the United Food and Commercial Workers' attempts to unionize its workers.
The wide range of the discrimination was, again, revealed in details in the women's brief to the justices. A footnote said the average full-time Wal-Mart worker in 2001, when the case started, earned $18,000 yearly.
But the expert analysts the women's lawyers hired determined that female Wal-Mart workers - the overwhelming majority of the firm's non-supervisors - earned 5 percent to 15 percent less than their identically qualified male counterparts.
"Wal-Mart's system fosters gender stereotyping, and scores of class members gave powerful examples of it," the women and their lawyers argued in their brief.
Documents, computer records and testimony also revealed chain-wide discrimination in promotions, the women's lawyers told the justices in arguing the class-action case should go ahead. They said Wal-Mart imposed a culture of uniformity on its stores and did not post open management positions, thus barring many women who wanted promotions from even knowing about spots.
"The district court found that roughly 65 percent of hourly employees are women, while roughly 33 percent of management employees are women. When Wal-Mart's representation of women in management was compared to that of its 20 largest competitors, there was a statistically significant shortfall at nearly 80 percent of the stores," their brief added.
"Women also took longer than men to enter management positions. These ob-served differences existed even though female employees at Wal-Mart generally have more seniority and better performance ratings than do male employees," they said.
Since all that evidence - and more - has already been uncovered and shown to be company-wide, the case should proceed as a class-action suit, no matter how many millions of dollars Wal-Mart claims a "guilty" judgment would cost, the lawyers said.
The lower courts ruled the case could go forward, with the women suing for back pay and punitive damages, but not compensatory damages. Wal-Mart didn't even want that. The women and their lawyers accepted that condition.
Wal-Mart argues that condition "should be ignored where the amount of back pay for the class, collectively, could be a very large sum, although for the individual class member the average potential recovery would be a few thousand dollars a year. But Title VII" of the Civil Rights Act "places no cap on the equitable powers of the court to award back pay," the women's lawyers said.
"Where the class is large, the back pay total may also be large. But the aggregation of back pay resulting from class treatment does not alter the applicable legal principles," they declared.
The justices are expected to decide whether to take the Wal-Mart case against class action, or send the whole thing back down to the lower courts for trial, by the end of this year. If they take it, the Supreme Court would hear arguments after January.

The Godfather: Part II (1974)
29 mistakes
Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
Starring: Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall
Other mistake: When young Vito Corleone shoots Fanucci in the chest at the doorway to his apartment, in a continuous shot, a wound/blood bursts from Fanucci's white vest. When Fanucci proceeds to tear his vest open seemingly in disbelief he has been shot, there is no entry-wound, blood or hole in his white shirt directly under where the wound appeared in his vest.
Continuity mistake: In the first "Godfather" film, we see Vito Corleone's tombstone, and it says there that he was born on April 29. In this movie, however, Sonny curses the Japanese for bombing Pearl Harbor on Vito's birthday. The attack on Pearl Harbor happened on December 7, 1941.
Visible crew/equipment: After the first scene showing the plane starting up it's engines and turning around, we are shown another scene of rioters throwing slot machines out of a club. In the bottom centre of the screen you can see a silhouette of what looks to be a part of a jigsaw puzzle piece on the camera. The object must be on the camera because when the camera pans to the right and down, the silhouette stays in the same position in the picture.
Factual error: At the New Year's party, when everybody is running out from the goverment's palace, you see the flags at the entrance are from Cuba, but the coat of arms is from Dominican Republic (the country where this scene was filmed).
Factual error: In the scene of young Vito Corleone coming to America, his ship passes the Statue of Liberty going the wrong way, south, whereas the docks of Manhattan, where immigrants were dropped before being ferried to Ellis Island, are to the north.
Continuity mistake: Al Pacino is accused of killing the 5 family leaders in 1950. In "Godfather part I" the killing of the 5 family leaders took place in 1955.
Continuity mistake: Shortly after assassins try to kill Michael at his home, he meets privately with Tom Hagen. As Tom enters the room, the table is empty. Then, after they are talking for a few moments, Michael offers Tom a drink from a bottle of courvoisier that has magically appeared.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Roth's symbolic birthday cake is divided among his partners, we see a shot in which Michael is seen, in long-shot, putting a forkful of cake into his mouth while talking about the rebels. The thing is, it does not sound as if he is talking through a mouthful of cake. What is more, when the scene cuts to closeup, he is not chewing anything, even though it's just seconds later.
Revealing mistake: In the opening scene you can see Paolo breathing, despite him being dead and all. [If you have trouble seeing it, watch the shadow on his back move up and down as he breathes.]
Factual error: When Michael arrives at Hyman Roth's house you can see the 1974 State of Florida green inspection sticker on Michael's car. The movie's supposed to be in the late 50's.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Vito shoots Fanucci, you can see the squib in Fanucci's waistcoat before it detonates.
Factual error: When Vito is about to kill Fanucci during a street festival, it is a cold winter's day. Fires are burning in 55 gallon drums along the street and Vito is wearing a heavy overcoat under which he conceals his shotgun. But the scene begins with the shot of a banner that reads "Festa Di San Rocco" which is August 16, i.e. in the summer.
Continuity mistake: During the parade, young Vito sits down with baby Michael. A kid behind plays with a flag and when the angle changes to a close-shot his position and the flag's are totally different.
Continuity mistake: In the Senate delegtion hearings, Michael made his speech saying he was awarded the Navy Cross. When you see Michael in uniform in Godfather I, he is wearing a Silver Star ribbon.
Visible crew/equipment: In the flashback scene shortly after young Vito has killed Fanucci and then joins his family on the front steps, a boom microphone is visible above and to the right of the steps.
Continuity mistake: In the flashback scene where Michael tells his brothers that he enlisted for the Navy, Vito's birthday cake suddenly vanishes. In one shot, Connie is placing the birthday candles on the cake, in the next shot, the cake is gone, yet Connie is still there, and the conversation has not stopped. As Vito arrives, and everyone goes to the other room to hide, someone walks past the doorway carrying the cake.
Factual error: When Michael meets Hyman Roth at his home in Florida, they sit in the room with the TV on. You can hear the football game being called by the commentator. The game is a USC/Notre Dame game with the teams called out by the commentator. The meeting takes place in the late '50's before Bautista's overthrow, but the game's commentator is Tom Kelly (very distinctive voice) who didn't begin calling USC games until the early '60's.
Factual error: When Michael meets with Hyman Roth at his home in Florida the television is on and you can hear the announcer calling a USC/Notre Dame game. The meeting takes place in the late 1950's. The announcer's voice belongs to Tom Kelly, a long time USC announcer, but he didn't start calling their games until the 1960's.
Visible crew/equipment: In one of the flashback scenes Fanucci climbs onto Vito's car. When Fanucci tells him that he and his friends should pay him more respect there's a rather large reflection of the crew in one of the cars driving by.
Continuity mistake: When Michael and Fredo sit on a restaurant terrace in Havana there's a lady sitting at a table behind Fredo who switches seats back and forth.

Crippled cruise ship 5 miles from Ala. terminal
Shanar said passengers initially were given only cold cuts, such as turkey and vegetable sandwiches. Then another cruise line dropped off hamburgers and chicken sandwiches, but the line for that fare was nearly four hours long, she said.
"There's poop and urine all along the floor," she said. "The floor is flooded with sewer water ... and we had to poop in bags."
The 14-story ship still must negotiate a tricky, shallow shipping channel, and was expected to be the largest cruise liner to ever dock in Mobile. The channel narrows to 400 feet inside Mobile Bay, and the ship was only 115 feet wide. It was traveling about 5 mph.
The company disputed the accounts of passengers who described the ship as filthy, saying employees were doing everything to ensure people were comfortable. Carnival didn't immediately respond to questions the illnesses reported by some passengers.
Terry Thornton, senior vice president for Carnival Cruise Lines, said the ship received an extra generator that allowed hot food to be served.
"This is going to be a long day," Thornton said Thursday. "There is no way we can speed up the process."
Some travel agents said cruise prices and bookings have not been affected by the disabled Carnival ship, but others in the industry say it's too early to tell.
Thelbert Lanier was waiting at the Mobile port for his wife, who texted him early Thursday.
"Room smells like an outhouse. Cold water only, toilets haven't work in 3 1/2 days. Happy Valentines Day!!! I love u & wish I was there," she said in the text message, which was viewed by The Associated Press. "It's 4:00 am. Can't sleep...it's cold & I'm starting to get sick."
Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the company tried to keep families updated and established a toll-free number for friends and relatives. Gulliksen said about 200 Carnival employees were in Mobile waiting to assist passengers upon their arrival.
The ship was about 150 miles off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula when an engine room fire knocked out its primary power source Sunday, crippling its water and plumbing systems and leaving it adrift on only backup power.
No one was injured in the fire, but a passenger with a pre-existing medical condition was taken off the ship as a precaution. In addition, the Coast Guard said in a statement Thursday that it evacuated a passenger who reportedly suffered a stroke.
Carnival said the original plan was to tow the ship to Progreso, Mexico, because it was the closest port, but by the time tugboats arrived, the ship had drifted about 90 miles north due to strong currents, putting it nearly equidistant to Mobile. It was also logistically easier for the company, which said costs were not a factor.
Carnival Cruise Lines has canceled a dozen more planned voyages aboard the Triumph and acknowledged the crippled ship had been plagued by other mechanical problems in the weeks before the engine-room blaze. The National Transportation Safety Board has opened an investigation.
Gulliksen said the Triumph's recent mechanical woes involved an electrical problem with the ship's alternator on the previous voyage. Repairs were completed Feb. 2, and the problem was not related to the fire, he said.
Passengers were supposed to get a full refund and discounts on future cruises, and Carnival announced Wednesday they would each get an additional $500 in compensation.
Once docked, the ship will be idle through April.

'Something's watching.'
The thought was tinted a dusky violet, the color of the vestiges of sunset over the sea with a storm rolling in. Alice stretched casually, glancing around the room. Bookshelf, bed, desk, wardrobe, her plants. Nothing unusual.
'Whatever it is, it's a construct. It's unlikely to be visible.'
Verity's annoyance was a prickle down the underside of Alice's skin, as if someone had run a nettle across her nerve endings. Grace shushed her with cool, blue-gray sympathy, and the sensation subsided.
'Ignore it for now. Deal with it when it starts causing problems.' The suggestion was the pale green of a demand, and Alice turned her attention back to her history text.
'It's uncomfortable, though.' Verity underscored this observation with a wriggle of something slimy curling down Alice's spine.
'Focus.' came the imperiously fuchsia reply, and Alice finally turned the page.
The Complete History of the World (Abridged) wasn't the best text she'd ever studied, but it wasn't the worst either, and Verity found its inaccuracies soothing. Seeing them, and being able to identify them, meant that her education up to this point had been worthwhile, no matter what her classmates said.
It was a pity that this was a new edition. Books gained souls fairly quickly, and always knew exactly where the information they contained was, which would have made studying so much easier.
They were like plants that way, becoming more than just fibers and glue in a matter of years instead of decades, like most things did, which was nice. Houses could take over a century, and Alice had never been comfortable around things that couldn't, metaphorically, speak for themselves.
"Alice?" Her mother's voice, sweet and rich and nervous and annoyed at something, broke into her reverie, and her hands flattened on her desk. Mother calling her outside of her very carefully arranged schedule could mean absolutely anything, as it was technically Mother's schedule, and Mother disliked drawing anyone's attention, much less her only daughter's.
"Mother?" Her own voice was high and clear, though she'd never, ever tell anyone that the only reason it didn't shake like a leaf was because she had spent months talking to her mirror. It was the same with her new height. The first time she'd tripped over something, she'd gotten books on dancing out of the library and spent the next few weeks using every spare second to twirl and step all alone in her room.
"Your lesson with Master Nichols has been moved up. Get your things, we're leaving in ten minutes."
Well, that explained the annoyance. Mother hated when her schedules were disrupted by things she couldn't control.
"Yes Mother."
Alice shut her book with a sigh, bowing her head over its cover for one long moment.
'Why does he keep moving lessons?' Verity's annoyed confusion was a slippery caress down the insides of both Alice's wrists, and she absently rubbed the feeling away. 'It annoys Mother, and it doesn't do anything useful.'
'It's his prerogative.' Grace was primly lavender in her reply, touched with the palest flush of resigned blue-gray. 'Though I do wish he'd decide this at the end of previous lessons, not just before current ones.'
Alice stood up and replaced the book in its place, removing her copy of Throckmorton's Integrated Codex of the Living and the Dead instead. This book had belonged to her great-great grandfather, the only other necromancer in her family as far as she knew, and it was a touchy thing that wouldn't open for just anyone. Alice was glad it liked her enough to let her read it at all.
She tucked it into the bag that already held most of the things she needed for her lesson, just candles, though in eight different sizes with twelve different additives, and chalk today. She was to take her journeyman trials in three weeks, which meant extremely fast paced revision, and lots of it.
The only thing left to do was change, from her ordinary, if somewhat uncomfortable, jeans and t-shirt, into her dress. Unlike most professions, necromancers wore their uniforms based on practicality and a very real sense of danger, not just tradition. Long hemlines meant more fabric, which meant more space for the myriad protective sigils that were necessary to survive an encounter with an enterprising revenant, or anything nastier.
She stripped perfunctorily, tossing her clothes into the hamper, and started dressing. Stockings first, cream with red edging from where the original cuffs had given out and been replaced, then shift, falling over tiny breasts and awkward hips, two quick tugs securing it around her elbows. Over that came the long black dress, remade from Great-Great-Grandfather's old robes, clean sturdy wool shortened with wide hems and neat tucks across the shoulders, the red stitches of his masterwork replaced with her own apprentice black. It fastened up the front with 106 tiny buttons, more hidden in the hems to be let out when she grew, each one carved with a different symbol, and she wondered, as she always did when she made her careful, methodical way up the band, how his thick fingers had managed them. Then there was just the pin at the base of her throat, red and gold with the black lines of a sigil she didn't yet know inlaid across the face, and she was ready.
There was a moment of hesitation, before she grabbed her apron as well, even though it really wasn't necessary, and threw it over everything, crossing the straps and tying the bow defiantly. She was crossed-class, after all, and it was time that Master Nichols remembered that. Being a midwife held just as much honor as being a necromantress, and took just as much work.
The sky outside threatened snow, so her boots and coat replaced her lighter outerwear. She disliked the coat, as it had been made by her grandmother, who had threatened to curse her if she ever tried to come in her house again, back before she'd found out, and it reminded her of things she'd rather forget.
Alice looked at the clock. Two minutes, and her plants could use some water. She could use the comfort as well.
Plants had always been preferable to human beings. They were simple things, concerned with light and water and air, easily contented and nonjudgmental. Smaller specimens, like the ones she kept in pots on her sill, gained souls in weeks, the process fast enough to watch, if one was observant, and their entire lives were spent peacefully, from first sprouting to final wilting. They sang, too, when they were happy, simple little songs about growth and sun and clarity, and they loved her, in their own small way, which was more than could be said for anyone else she knew.
She was greeted by a chorus of happy hums as she carefully poured water into each pot, stroking the edge of a leaf here and the top of a stem there to hear it more clearly. It was times like this that she wished she was a bioturge, that she could put some of herself into them to make them grow faster.
Sensation prickled at the back of her neck, and Alice's small smile fell away. The construct had come out, and it was time to deal with it. She turned around and crossed the room.
The mirror didn't show her own pale face. A man, a good head taller than she was, barefoot and raggedy, stood in her place, smiling. He was dark skinned, with a round face and broad cheekbones. His eyes were a warm, friendly green, shaded by curly, walnut colored hair. He looked like everybody's best friend, like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. Alice didn't trust him at all.
"You've been watching me." She had to look up to meet his eyes, and it hurt the back of her neck.
"Yup." He winked at her, and she frowned.
"Well, you're an interesting little thing, aren't you? And I'm a curious sort. Never could resist a mystery. Call me... Hmm... Mudd sounds good today." He grinned cheekily and gestured at the ground. "Shall we sit?" He stepped sideways, so that he and her reflection stood together, and placed a hand on her shoulder before dropping to the floor.
Alice's knees buckled.
"There. That's better. Now we're eye to eye." He flashed her a smile and patted the top of her reflection's head.
"What do you want." She ground out, severely discomfited by the situation. Verity was screaming in the back of her head, standing every hair on her body on edge, while Grace failed to either shut her up or identify the thing in the mirror.
"Now, that's not very nice. Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
Her mind raced, Grace turning over every possibility she could actually say.
"Anne. You can call me Anne." She said after a moment, heart hammering.
"That wasn't so hard, was it?"
"What do you want!" She was practically in tears, which was unusual. Most of the time she couldn't agree with herself long enough to show any emotion, much less cry.
"Oh, not much, Anne," he said, stressing the name she had given him. "Just a little favor. You see, my dear, sweet sister, I hear she's going by Lady Ink at the moment, accidentally broke something. Nothing huge, just something I like to call the Book of Stories. It's not really important, just the reservoir for every story ever told, ever written, ever lived. Yours, too. If it ceases to exist, so does everything else. I need you to help fix it."
She stared at him. He patted her reflection's shoulder again, and grinned.
"I don't get a choice in this, do I?"
"Clever girl. I'll give you a prize."
He stood up and walked to her desk, rummaging through her drawers and returning with an ordinary ballpoint. He sat by her reflection again, and held it in front of her nose.
"You're already half represented, so I'll just complete you. This" He waggled the pen "is Truth. Use it well." It changed before her eyes, from black plastic to a sleek gold fountain pen with a wide silver nib. He leaned over her to slip it in her reflection's pocket, and it was heavy against her hip when he pulled back. He smiled sweetly, if mischievously, at her, and then his hands were on her shoulders and he was shoving her into the slivered glass.
"Good luck!" He called cheerfully as she fell through it. "Do take care of yourself!"
And then she was tumbling into nothing, and she heard no more.
TBOS Audition by AndreaHarperWatch
©2011-2016 AndreaHarper
A small explanation for Alice, Grace, Verity, and the lack of plurals: Grace and Verity aren't two separate people, they're just one: Alice, and unlike a split personality disorder or possession, they don't identify or react as different people. Alice always acts like Alice, no matter who's actually interacting with the outside world. There is a sense of duality, but not plurality. Consider it the opposite of the royal we, similar to when a diplomat speaks in the first person from the position of the country he/she represents, where the term 'I' refers to more than one entity.
Did that make a little more sense? I hope so. This could have been clearer within the piece, but nobody wants me to make it long enough to actually show that. Trust me. (Alice's novel takes most of the book to explain how this works. And that's the short explanation.)
Master Nichols is Alice's Necromancy teacher. He's not important.
Jeans are uncomfortable if you find skirts suit everything better. This is taken from personal experience, as I dislike pants.
So, my audition for , which looks like huge amounts of fun. And, um, I made Mudd really creepy. What.

hey there ^^ I'm going against you in the 1st round and i'v read over your audition and reference...but I'm still finding it hard to understand When Grace and Verity speak do they speak inside Alice's head or do they use Alice's mouth to speak for them so it looks like she's talking/arguing with herself? It is a really good audition and i want to portray your character well so could you clarify some stuff for me like the three people inside one thing xDD
I'm a little slow like that xDD

Alex Hall
"Well, I, I didn't, uh... What're you doing here? No wait that's obvious, I mean, I, uhh, umm..." stuttered the black-haired boy, seemingly impressed by Alex's dramatic entrance. The boy's Emolga, which stared angrily at Pidgeot, obviously had other ideas - Ryudo spotted the risk, but just a moment too late.
The Emolga darted away from the red Pokéball light, jumping on to Smidge's wing and aggressively sparking her electrically charged cheeks. "Emolga you're embarrassing me, please stop! You're going to make us look bad!" Ryudo pleaded with his pokémon, Alex stifled a laugh as he watched the drama unfold. The boy continued - even more flustered than before "Not that... not that we have a reason to be embarrassed! Emolga, return." With one finalising sigh the flying squirrel pokémon obeyed, going back into her Pokéball.
"Sorry about that, I don't know what came over her... She just has something against bird Pokémon, always has done. I think she's jealous of their ability to fly freely whilst she's restricted to simply gliding through the wind currents. It must be wonderful to reach such heights..." Alex's eyes narrowed, Arceus, this boy sure does talk, "But I digress," Ryudo finished.
The boys demeanour suddenly changed, he looked up and smiled - a confident boy rather than an embarrassed wreck. "You still haven't told me your name y'know, that's a penalty," he said enthusiastically, grabbing Alex by the hand, "That means you're with me for the night!"
"A... I..." Alex started to protest, barely having time to recall Smidge before being whisked away by Ryudo. Half way down the stairs the boy came to an abrupt stop.
"I wonder what it's like up there..." he paused, staring up in to the night sky. Alex was puzzled, but tried his best to answer.
"It's pretty cold, you'd probably need a coat," he responded, smiling awkwardly at his half-joke, half-truth. Of course the night sky of the island was still far warmer than the skies above Snowpoint City - Alex was accustomed to the cold. "D'you wanna go for a fly? I'm sure Smidge wouldn't mind," he said, fumbling with his belt as he looked for her Pokéball.
One, two... What? Alex looked to his belt, Oh damn...
The third Pokéball, housing a very dizzy Smidge, was halfway down the staircase, rolling quickly and steadily down towards the ground floor.
"Ahh!" Cried Alex, running down the stairs after his pokémon, stopping as he suddenly remembered Ryudo.
"Ahhhh, sorry! I'll be back!" He called, a few steps later stopping again, "And the name's Alex!" Throwing himself in to a bit more of a sprint as he descended the stairway after the rogue, runaway pokéball.
Tearing his way back into the main stadium he scanned the floor, Come on Smidge, what are you playing at! He said, cursing his Pokémon. Unfortunately Alex decided that desperate times called for desperate measures, getting on his hands and knees and crawling under the table looking for the runaway.

Filet-Mignon- and Foie-Gras-Flavored Potato Chips Prove There's a Limit to Everything
Some things are just beyond the boundaries of common sense.
Yamayoshi, the manufacturer of chips offered in such dream flavors as bagna cauda and "rich butter," also produces a Tournedos Rossini variety, which should, in theory, taste like beef, foie gras, demi-glace, and Madeira wine. Oh, and like black truffles. Perhaps sadly, intrepid food explorer C.B. Cebulski writes that the only dominant flavor from his taste-tester bag was as if "someone simply sprinkled beef bouillon on burnt chips." [Eataku]

For Media:
12:30 PM: Aziz Sahmaoui & University of Gnawa
Aziz Sahmaoui & University Of Gnawa puts electric guitars and keyboards on an equal footing with Sahmaoui's gimbri, gnawa's signature instrument, and its West African forerunner, the ngoni, while never overwhelming either of them—and keeps Maghrebi percussion instruments at the center of things.
Its leader aside, University Of Gnawa is mostly composed of Senegalese musicians: guitarist Hervé Samb, bassist Alioune Wade (a longtime member of Niger-born, Senegalese-based guitarist and singer Ismaël Lô's band) and keyboards and kora player Cheikh Diallo. These Senegalese musicians allow Sahmaoui to dig deep into gnawa's pre-Moroccan roots.
The music is an intoxicating affair, visceral and groove-centric yet also nuanced and multilayered. Sahmaoui's vocals—rich and throaty, without the nasal edge associated with older gnawa singers—are welcome features. His lyrics address modern challenges such as poverty and warfare through a folkloric prism.
2:00 PM: Karolina Cicha
Karolina Cicha is a singer-songwriter and a one-woman-orchestra, playing many instruments at once and singing in an idiosyncratic and self-developed style. Her career started with solo concerts. The live album "Karolina Cicha / Koncert" is a document of that period. In 2009 she started a band and that's when her adventure with rock music began. First, she recorded two tracks for "GAJCY" – an album of musical interpretations of the poems of Tadeusz Gajcy (published by Warsaw Uprising Museum). According to the "Interia" website ranking, her song "Miłość bez jutra" ("Love with no tomorrow") was one of the ten best polish rock songs of 2009:
Since then she has recorded two albums: "DO LUDOŻERCÓW" (with lyrics of Tadeusz Rożewicz) and "WAWA2010.PL", a collection of songs about Warsaw, where she sang duets with stars of the Polish alternative scene (Tomasz Budzyński, Tymon Tymański, Jorgos Skolias, Mamadou, Olaf Derglasoff, "Titus" of Acid Drinkers, Czesław Mozil and others). "MIĘKKIE MASZYNY" was the third album in her discography – and the first to include some of her own lyrics. In 2013 with Bart Pałyga she published "9 Languages" album with the traditional songs in languages spoken by people living in northeast Poland.
3:30 PM: Boogat
Based in Montreal, Boogat is a rapper, writer and producer. From 1996 to 2001 he was the frontman for the underground hip-hop group Andromaick. Under the name Daniel Russo Garrida, he put a first solo disc, Tristes et belles histoires (2004), later switching to the stage name Boogat. From 2004 to 2009, he performed with the Movèzerbe collective. In 2010, he undertook a post hip-hop project in Spanish, putting out a mixtape, Que Pegue Duro y Violento, that featured an intense urban sound, a blend of nueva cumbia and dancehall. He also began producing other artists. His collaborations include Poirier, Roberto López Project, and many musicians on the Quebec hip-hop scene, as well as in the U.S., Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. El Dorado Sunset came out in 2013
5:00 PM – La Chiva Gantiva
La Chiva Gantiva began in Brussels when three young Colombian students started to play percussion together. Driven by a desire to assert their roots, they began to blend Afro-Colombian rhythms with other styles of music they loved: rock, afrobeat, and funk. Soon joined by four other musicians (two Belgians, a Frenchman and a Vietnamese), they started performing around the world, and their exciting, explosive show conquered media and public alike.
Signed to Crammed Discs, La Chiva Gantiva released their second album, "Vivo", in February 2014. Recorded in their own studio (which they built for the occasion, upstairs from a bar in central Brussels), "Vivo" was mixed in New York by Joel Hamilton (Blakroc, Sparklehorse, Marc Ribot, Bomba Estereo) with the band's two main composers, vocalist Rafael Espinel and guitarist Felipe Deckers.
While the album's powerful sound reflects La Chiva Gantiva's incredible live energy, their "frenetic carnival-punk racket that detonates like a Molotov cocktail of rock, rap, soul and ferociously funky Latin rhythms (as described by The Times), "Vivo" also contains songs in which the band further explore several musical directions, such as traditional percussion patterns and new sonic territories, while remaining grounded in their trademark rock/afrobeat fundamentals, punctuated by exuberant horn riffs.

Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Helene Sleeveless Print-Blocked Dress:
I wanted to love this dress but it is cut large (no shape). It looked like something I would wear if I were a housekeeper on a tropical island.
The pattern is nice and could be beautiful on a tall person. On me, at 5'4" tall, it was too long in front - hit my knee vs. above the knee so the entire asymmetrical line was off. The cut is large vs. tapered, perhaps too flowy, so it made me look larger vs. stylish like most other BCBG dresses do.
Sorry, but I am returning it.

This community-based study examined emotional and somatic symptoms of 129 Bedouin women whose husbands serve in the Israel Defense Forces. Wives of men diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) reported more symptoms than wives of men diagnosed with other disorders and wives of men with no diagnosis. Findings indicate that not only was PTSD in Bedouin servicemen positively associated with their wives' symptoms of posttraumatic stress and depression and somatic complaints, but that this relationship was fully mediated by husbands' aggression. Unraveling the special circumstances of women from traditional backgrounds faced with the devastating effects of husbands' combat-related posttraumatic pathology may inform an approach to the concept of vicarious trauma that is more specific to non-Western societies.

The iPhone Has Generated $150 Billion in Revenue for Apple Since it Launched in 2007
According to new research from Strategy Analytics, Apple has generated $150 billion in revenue from its iPhone since it launched in June 2007.
A quarter of a billion iPhones have been shipped worldwide in that time.
"This is an impressive achievement," notes senior analyst Neil Shah, "and it illustrates just how popular the iPhone has become during the past five years."
"The iPhone portfolio has become a huge generator of cash and profit for Apple," adds executive director Neil Mawston. "A quarter of a billion iPhones have been shipped cumulatively worldwide in the first five years since launch and Apple reaches its fifth birthday at the top of its game."
For fun, here's a video of Steve Ballmer laughing at the iPhone in 2007, where he suggests touchscreen devices are useless recommends the "very capable" Motorola Q.

I've had some web hosting issues lately so I moved to @wiredtree over the new year. So far I'm very impressed indeed.
