Alexandra Suhner Isenberg was born and raised in Vancouver. She studied fashion in Paris and London and worked for some big luxury brands there (lived in Europe 12 years). Eventually, Alexandra moved back to B.C. with Swedish husband in late 2009. They currently live in Brackendale, Squamish with their two kids (18 months and newborn). She is the voice behind popular fashion blog, Searching for Style, Founder and Creative Director of The Sleep Shirt, Fashion Editor at Vitamin Daily, Fashion Instructor at Visual College of Art and Design and a part time stay at home mom.
What characteristics define the Vancouver Housewife?
The typical Vancouver housewife probably has kids, wears yoga pants, practices some elements of attachment parenting, does outdoorsy stuff, buys lots of organic/natural food and beauty products, lives in house or apartment that is too small (this is Vancouver, after all), and most likely consumes way more Starbucks than booze. Also, I doubt she is a full time housewife, this city is too expensive for single income families.
Are you a good representation of a Vancouver Housewife? Why?
No, not really. First of all, I live in Squamish. While I love all the amazing talent, small companies, and creativity coming out of Vancouver now (this was not the case 15 years ago), I have no desire whatsoever to live there. I like that Squamish doesn't even try to be cool, it is what it is: a great, affordable community with an incredible view, fantastic people, and an excellent place to raise kids and dogs. You will never see me wearing yoga pants unless I am en route to or in the middle of a workout. I'll take the pub over a coffee shop any day. My idea of outdoor activities is lying in a hammock in my backyard. I like C-sections, don't think topping up with formula is a crime, and I swear by sleep training. And, we are the only couple I know who have taken advantage of the fact that the father can take part of the one year parental leave, he took 6 months last time and this time he will take 9. So I'm not a good representation of the Vancouver housewife. But I do buy a lot of organic/natural foods and beauty products and my kids will be in a bilingual Montessori soon. Those things are quite Vancouver-ish, I think.
Do you feel that living in Vancouver in some way defines who you are? Please explain.
No, and it never really has. I am certainly not the typical West Side Vancouver girl. I grew up here, but moved to Paris when I was nineteen and then to London two years later. I spent ten years there, and I feel like that has shaped the person that I am (which might explain why I find myself surrounded by a lot of Brits, even here in Canada.) My Mom says I am not very Canadian because I criticize people/things/policies a lot, and I am not afraid to speak my mind even if it involves saying something that might be considered "not nice." The typical Canadian, especially Vancouverite, is always too afraid of offending and is rarely straightforward if they are worried about being negative. I find that extremely frustrating.
Have you ever had cosmetic surgery, Botox, Restalyne injections, etc.? If so, please provide details. If you haven't had any of the above procedures performed, would you consider it?
No, not yet. My mother's family has good genes, and I still get ID'ed at the liquor store so that's a good sign… but talk to me in ten years. I may have had a tummy tuck by then 😉
Other than your children (if applicable), what is the accomplishment of which you are most proud?
Having managed to spend my twenties living it up in London (UK) and then successfully settling down back in Canada in my thirties, with a husband, kids, a dog, a house, etc… People are surprised I made the move from London to Squamish, but after ten years of bar hopping, rock concerts, fashion parties, and spending all my money on Jack Daniels and designer shoes, it sure feels good to live in a small town where you're more likely to run into a bear than a famous musician. I believe that having made that transition successfully and without any regrets is an accomplishment. I am also happy in the knowledge that I won't ever feel like I didn't take advantage of my youth (not that I am old now, but you know what I mean…)
Has the desire for affluence/power/money been a motivator in the choices you've made for your life?
In my work life, yes, but not in my personal life. Last year I was very moved by an article with a list of the "5 regrets of the Dying" and I wrote a blog post about it (http://searchingforstyle.com/2011/12/new-years-resolution-2012/) and made a decision to try my hardest not have those regrets. Although it isn't an absolute necessity, several of those goals require time (one of them was spending more time with your kids), and time is money. So while I do strive to do jobs that I love (and I like all my jobs right now, which is great), I'm not going to pretend that money isn't the reason why I work. Power is also important, I want the power to make decisions in my work life that are best for me and my family, not for a company or a profit margin. Right now, I am on a mission to find a way for my husband and I to work 4 days week and take every second summer off to stay in his country house Sweden. Given the atrocious holiday entitlement in Canada, this is a big challenge. As far as my personal life goes, the main motivator is to find time to do the things I love.
Tell us about your stuff. What do you like to buy, collect, etc.?
Designer shoes. And it is safe to say I have way too many of them.
Do you have "staff" in your home? (E.g. nanny, driver, chef, etc.)
Absolutely, I am a huge fan of delegating. We have a cleaner, a dog walker (actually, he just quit, know any other ten year olds in Brackendale looking for work?), and since I only have daycare for my son three days a week, I have a Rent-a-Grandma who comes in for a few hours a week to let me get some work done.
Do you belong to any clubs, teams, groups or social organizations?
I'm in some Squamish Moms advice and buy & sell groups on Facebook, and I'm in the fan club of a Norwegian heavy metal band. I would like to get more involved in my community and intend to once I've gotten through the first year of my second child.
Finish this sentence: "My life's motto is …."
There's a few… No regrets. Time is better than money. Leggings are not pants. You can never have too many shoes. Nap as much as possible. Your husband should also be your best friend. And one of my favourites (a song lyric from a great American metal band called W.A.S.P.) "to the altar of rock'n'roll you kneel" – even if that means blasting Judas Priest on the way to Walmart to buy diapers.

Including the change in gas prices in Arkansas during the past week, prices yesterday were 42.3 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 25.5 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 18.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 36.6 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "Gasoline prices continue to erode with twelve states that are seeing prices under $3/gallon, and more states will join in on that over the next seven days" said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "While it's generally good news that gasoline prices continue falling, many Americans don't believe we're likely to see national averages drop under $3/gal over the next year at the pump," DeHaan said. GasBuddy surveyed over 10,000 motorists with two-thirds of respondents saying that the national average will remain between $3 and $4 per gallon through 2014. Perhaps in a sign of positive sentiment, just 13% of respondents said they thought that prices nationally would exceed $4/gallon, while 20% believed prices could go under $3/gallon.

Mice Direct has recalled frozen rats, mice and chicks sold as reptile feed. Thirty humans in 17 states may have become ill with salmonellosis potentially as a result of the frozen reptile feed.
The feed was distributed in all states, except Hawaii, through pet stores and by mail order and direct delivery.
Frozen reptile feed was shipped in plastic bags with the following product codes M-SP100, M-P100, M-PF100, M-F100, M-H100, M-W50, M-A50, M-JA25, R-P100, R-F50, R-PUP50, R-W50, R-S50, R-M20, R-L10,R-J5, R-C5, R-M3 followed by E9, F9, G9, H9, I9, J9, K9, L9 or A10, B10, C10, D10, E10, F10, G10 and whole frozen chicks in 25 count bags.

Arenas, a 6-foot-3, sophomore guard from North Hollywood, Calif., earned the honor after averaging 28.5 points and shooting 17-of-27 (.630) from the field in a pair of games last week.
He opened the week with a career-high 30 points in an overtime loss at UCLA on 9-of-18 shooting, including 4-of-7 from three-point range. He scored 25 of his 30 points in the second half as UA erased a 13-point second-half deficit. He added four rebounds, two assists, and equaled a season high with three steals.
Arenas followed that up with an efficient 27-point effort in Saturday's win at USC. He connected on 8-of-9 shots from the floor, including 5-of-5 from behind the arc and 6-of-6 from the line. He also added five assists. For the week, Arenas was 9-of-12 (75.0) from three-point range.
It is the second time this season that Arenas has been so honored by the league office. He is one of only two Pac-10 players to win the award twice this season. It is also the 52nd time an Arizona player has been named Pac-10 Player of the Week.
Arenas and the eighth-ranked Wildcats currently have an 18-7 record (10-3 Pac-10). The squad will next be in action on Wednesday, Feb. 21, at Arizona State. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. MST and will be televised on Fox Sports Net.

Joining the American Athletic Conference for its inaugural season, the SMU volleyball team is competing in its third conference since the program's inception in 1996. The American consists of 10 teams during its first season, highlighted by preseason favorite Louisville, a team that went 30-4 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season. The league includes former BIG EAST members Temple (19-11), Connecticut (19-12), Rutgers (18-12), USF (17-15) and Cincinnati (12-20), as well as former Conference USA members Memphis (20-13), UCF (18-15) and Houston (9-19).
SMU will play its home matches in the Dedman Center on campus while the renovation project is completed on Moody Coliseum, the home of SMU volleyball and men's and women's basketball. The Dedman Center, located directly south of Moody Coliseum, serves as a multi-sport and recreational activity facility for SMU students and members of the community. The $47-million renovation project will be completed in time for SMU's December Commencement ceremony, and the Mustangs will return for the 2014 volleyball season.
Caroline Young and Maddie Lozano were each selected to the All-American Athletic Conference Preseason Team, which consisted of 12 student-athletes from the league's 10 member institutions, as voted on by the coaches. Young was one of six unanimous selections to the team, and SMU was one of just three schools with multiple selections. Louisville led the team with four players, and UCF also had two honorees.

O ver the course of the next few weeks, I will be bringing you some ideas on homemade ornaments. If you are a photographer, you can top your clients' orders with these cute and inexpensive ornaments. If you are a mom, your kids can help you make them. And, no matter who you are–I can assure you they will look darling on your tree or around your home.
Pipe cleaners are the ultimate in cheap crafting supplies. I keep them well stocked at my house, and my boys love using them to make crafts of all sorts. Today, we used them to make some sweet little ornaments. I remember making these in 3rd grade with precut lengths of white pipe cleaners…and they were just as easy as I remember.
- 3 Pipe Cleaners (Each cut in half)
- Wire Cutter
- Needle Nosed Pliers
- Length of Ribbon
- Take 3 pipe cleaners and twist together at the middle.
- Separate arms to make a 6 point star.
- Cut remaining pipe cleaners in thirds.
- Starting in the middle of one arm, twist smaller piece of pipe cleaner around and crimp with needle nose pliers. Continue up the arm twice more.
- Continue around the star.
- Tie ribbon around middle and into a circle shape to make a hanger.

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 24 April 1845; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18450424-JWC-JW-01; CL 19: 60-63
24 April [1845]
Dearest Babby
You are sure of a letter from me tomorrow at all rates. Whatever is to be done or suffered; you know that the bit creature's Birth-day will not escape my memory, nor fail of a certain recognition— And truth to say my prospects of doing and suffering are for the moment "rather exquisite."1 I have ordered a Fly at two o'clock to make a round of State-visits—a strong measure no longer to be evaded, unless I mean to break entirely with Society. For the last six months I have not made a single visit except one to Elizabeth and ditto to Miss Wilson2— My Prussian Ambassadress3 with other grandeurs of the Earth, to say nothing of a host of mediocrities are waiting OF COURSE in breathless expectation that I should testify my sense of &c &c. There is one call on my list today however which I feel a real tendency towards—the attractive centre of which is A Young Lady—of all things in the world! Two or three weeks ago Mrs Kay Shuttleworth4 called on me, bringing with her "a young friend" according to custom—Mrs Kay Shuttleworth's young friends are apt to be after her own pattern, that is to say insipid as whites of Eggs: so with my usual indifference to Young Ladies in the Abstract I was not likely to take much heed of this one—nay I did not so much as open my ears to her name. But after she had sat there opposoule5 me for a while I began to perceive something both Helenish and Youish, in fact something Lancashire-witchish about her which piqued my normal indifference. Her speech too—what little she said—had a naturalness and gumtion in it which gave the idea of a girl shaped after her own notions rather than the London notions. In short I took to her, and felt a sort of wish to see more of her which wish of course, not knowing even so much about her as her name, I was too discreet to suffer myself to express— But these likings at first sight are always mutual strikes— Some ten days after while I was sitting here with Mazzini a carriage drove up with unknown liveries, long sticks and all that sort of things—and presently were announced Mrs and Miss Green—all a mystery to me—until from behind a tall handsome Mama, my Young Lady came to light blushing with the consciousness that she was doing something rather out of the way—and at the same evidently immensely pleased to do it. —"Mrs Carlyle I have brought Mama" said she—"Mama so wanted to come"!— "Mrs Carlyle," said Mama, "I have brought you back my daughter for she would give me no rest until she saw you again," And so these two Women Green by name and Green by nature sat down and talked like Mountain-brooks for a good hour— It is impossible they can have been made in London—I am sure both from the cut of their faces and of their talk that they must belong to Lancashire— On their card there is a faint shadow of "Whittington Hall" as if from a Plate on which the words had not been effectually erased. Have you such 'Hall' about Liverpool? Do you know any Greens? The Father Mr Fleming tells me is Chairman of Ways and Means if you know what that may be.6 The naivete of Mama Green was quite charming— Fancy her asking me on a first interview "who I considered the cleverest man in London—setting aside my own Husband?"— And when we were talking about clever men so frequently marrying stupid women she proceeded to enumerate by name all the instances of the kind she knew among her own acquaintance some twelve—from Sir Robert Peel "whose wife was really a dreadfully stupid woman"7—and the Bishop of London "who was even worse matched"8 downwards into the Sphere in which myself lived and moved; so that these "almost idiots of women" might have been my sisters or most intimate friends for anything SHE knew One so seldom meets with such indiscreet people in real life—that this Mrs Green was quite a treat for me— And I mean to cultivate them on my own basis—as indeed it is entirely on my own basis that they have taken me up—
I had a long story to tell you of a Child I found—and also of a Seduced Lady who "threw herself on my mercy" the same day—not that there was the slightest earthly connexion between the two—the Child belonged to the Lower Classes and I picked it up in the Kings Road— The Seduced Lady came to me in a Cab from a great distance9— But these topics are too long to be entered on—with a "neat Fly" looming in the prospect—and not only a programme but a map of my calls to be drawn out beforehand that I may not as you and I once were be placed at the disposal of an idiot-driver— Besides Carlyle has today a blue pill and a doze of Castor in him and when that is the case I feel always a certain degree of what Helen would call "real mental agony in my own inside." Which is not propitious to long stories— For the rest; I keep quite free of cough but my head bothers me excessively and I feel often as weak as the stuttering Darley10 did in the relaxing heat of Munich—where he reminded himself of "a Serpent trying to stand on its tail"—a more striking picture of human weakness could hardly have been given!— I am always breakfasting in bed still! Just two days I managed to get up and the consequences were not pleasant— To think of Carlyle having had to pour out his own coffee and mine too since the middle of November! Nobody knows what he can do till he tries!
I wish you may like "the realized Ideal"11 I send you— Mr Collier's12 "realized Ideal—not mine—for I told him to put the hair in a plait and he has made it into a sheaf good Heavens—which he defended as more "fashionable"—but if you disapprove of his sheaf—subvert it without ceremony and rely on my generosity to give you more hair—tho at my time of life one's hair, if still preserving its natural colour is a thing one gets rather chary of—Kisses and love to all of them
Ever your own

My favorite posts from 2008
It is that time of the year where I can be really lazy and just throw up a best of and say that it is a yearly recap. I have to say it was a banner year at the pointless banter household. We welcome in a couple of new writers, I started to get paid to write this shit, got a major influx of traffic, new readers, and only one death threat. I want to thank everyone that made this a great year… readers, DonkeySosa, Matt, and Stan.
So let me take you through my favorite posts month by month. I guess it is a good way for new readers to catch up on what they missed out and for others to see that my personal judgment of my own work is horribly shitty.
This will forever be known as the "pudding incident" and it might be my favorite drunken mistakes blog ever.
Looking for love in all the wrong places: Matchmaker my ass
I go head to head with former reality TV star Patty Novak in my quest for true love… or something like that.
Honorable Mention: Tossed Salad and KFC… not for people with a weak stomach or puritan moral values
Cosmopolitan Magazine is for Whores and Idiots… But then again I guess this isn't anything new.
5 Questions with Metal Bee Gees Tribute Band: Tragedy
Seeing this band changed my life this year. Honestly it was comedy that was just perfectly done.
Favorite picture used this year in a blog
May was really a banner month for me. I made the front page of digg for the first time when I wrote a satirical piece about how Generation Y has no culture. Of course every idiot from digg took it serious and picked a fight. I was mentioned on CNN and I my blog was banned in Qatar… I still can't figure out which I am more proud of.
The five dirtiest places known to mankind
I just like this post
I really like doing the Seventeen Magazine Questions Answered. I hardly did them this year but this was probably my favorite post of this run: How do I talk to my mom about sex?
WTF Do I need 14 Rolls For? I still can't figure out why I got so many rolls for a carry out order.
I bitch about a lot of things on here. Some of it is fake ire, while other things really drive me insane. This is something that truly bugs me. I hate when people use their Facebook relationship status for attention
When a stripper calls you a gay liar is that rock bottom? Sadly the answer is clearly yes.
Only I can end up meeting a hooker through match.com… I need 50 dollars to make you holler I get paid to do the wild thing
I hope you all had fun this year and I am looking towards a great 2009.
Have a happy and safe new years. Thanks for spending a couple minutes of your day here.

SLHS Impacts the Lives of Students, Public
By Allison Sylvest
The Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences program (SLHS) is dedicated to speech-language pathology and audiology research and teaching. Though the department is relatively small in size, it's big on research, outreach, nationally recognized programs and hands-on learning for students.
"Both undergraduate and graduate students are actively involved in our research and outreach programs," said Susan Moore, director of clinical education and services.
With a host of outreach and service learning programs from which to choose, students assist faculty in research labs and take part in honors and graduate thesis/dissertation research projects. They also help provide speech-language pathology and audiology services to the public.
The Child Learning Center is one such program. CU-Boulder Photographer Casey Cass' three-year-old son, Cameron, has shown remarkable progress in the toddler program. Cameron was previously diagnosed with epilepsy, which affects his coordination and speech. He began the program last fall and has made rapid progression from communicating with one or two words to speaking in full sentences.
"Cameron has excelled like crazy," said Cass. "He receives one-on-one attention from his graduate student instructor and also gets to interact with kids his own age. My wife and I frequently comment on how fortunate we are to have such a prestigious program right in our own backyard. It's a win/win situation for both the children and the students."
According to the SLHS web site, 50 percent of all Americans will experience a disability within in their lifetime. SLHS programs impact the lives of many people from infancy through geriatrics in every community throughout the state, including newborns; all state school districts; individuals with challenges affecting speech and communication such as Parkinson's Disease, multiple sclerosis, stuttering, learning disabilities and hearing loss; and those who are bilingual or have language problems.
Research within SLHS focuses on comprehensive aspects of human communication including the sociological, emotional, cultural, educational, cognitive, physical and physiological.
"We receive support from state, federal and community grants to fund our research and outreach programs," said Moore. "The funding assists in our ability to provide a wide variety of services."
Moore noted that SLHS received many kudos for their innovative programs during their recent reaccredidation process.

More Articles By
Macy's Inc., managing its way through negative sales trends and merger issues, posted fourth-quarter results that by some measures surpassed the competition.
This story first appeared in the February 27, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
On Tuesday, the department store said earnings rose 2.3 percent to $750 million, or $1.73 a share, as sales for the quarter ended Feb. 2 slid 6.2 percent to $8.59 billion from $9.16 billion. Sales on a comparable-store basis were down 2 percent.
The results on both the earnings and sales sides were better than expected, given the challenges Macy's has experienced digesting its May Departments Stores Co. acquisition of 2005, winning over May shoppers, and creating excitement on its apparel floors. Excluding May integration costs of $69 million, fourth-quarter earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.83. Included in the quarter is a noncash tax credit of $78 million. Without it, EPS from continuing operations were $1.65.
Macy's stock closed up 7.1 percent Tuesday at $26.52 on the New York Stock Exchange. Macy's has been aggressive about consolidating and reworking its infrastructure to cut costs and improve efficiencies. However, the retailer will no longer issue monthly same-store sales because it believes calendar changes and switches in its promotional schedule distort the significance of monthly comparisons, and that quarterly results provide a more accurate performance picture. Macy's sales growth has been lackluster for months.
Discussing the results, Macy's top executives portrayed their team as getting nimbler managing inventories and markdowns, and cited improved trends at former May doors. "We are pretty good at controlling inventory, not giving the product away when we don't need to, making sure promotions are thoughtful as opposed to just across the board and making sure we keep expenses in check," Terry Lundgren, Macy's chairman, chief executive officer and president, said in an interview.
"The sales performance was ahead of our peers, giving us comfort that our strategy is appropriate and that the execution is on track," said executive vice president and chief financial officer Karen Hoguet, during a conference call. She also said inventories are down 5 percent versus a year ago. "The quantity and quality of inventory was in good shape as we entered 2008."
Sales would have been worse except that Bloomingdale's generated comp-store gains and the Internet business, which is on track to break $1 billion in revenues this year, was strong. Dillard's Inc., J.C. Penney Co. Inc., The Bon-Ton Stores Inc. and Kohl's Corp. experienced steeper sales declines than Macy's Inc. "Bloomingdale's did very well relative to upscale competition," Lundgren asserted.
Following successful Bloomingdale's openings over the last couple of years in San Francisco; San Diego; Costa Mesa, Calif.; Chevy Chase, Md., and Chestnut Hill, Mass., "we are looking for real estate sites across the country," Hoguet said. "There aren't 100 of these, but we are aggressively trying to find them."
The brand is noticeably absent from Texas and the Pacific Northwest. Hawaii would be another possibility. Bloomingdale's first Arizona store is scheduled to open in fall 2009 in northeast Phoenix.
For the year, Macy's net profits fell 10.3 percent to $893 million, or $1.97 a diluted share, on a 2.4 percent drop in total sales to $26.31 billion from $26.97 billion. Comp sales dipped 1.3 percent. Stripping away merger costs, tax settlement gains and a gain from a debt offering, 2007 profits rose to $2.15 a share, versus $2.08 the year before.
The May difficulties seem to be easing. "In some markets, former May stores are outperforming Macy legacy stores," Lundgren said. "I think we made a lot of progress on that initiative. We still have more work to do, but it's really become an issue of individual stores in individual markets. It's no longer an issue of former May doors versus Macy legacy doors. There are definite signs of improvement. The gap is closing."
Macy's no longer breaks out results for each.
Lundgren expects the second half of this year to be better than the first, like many other retailers. "Partly it's due to easier comparisons, but it's also related to pent-up demand. I think there will be some by the fourth quarter," he said.
Several factors, including rising fuel costs, the mortgage crisis, the economic stimulus package and the presidential election, make forecasting this year most vexing. "There are a lot of things that are out there. I don't have a crystal ball nor do the economists in Washington," Lundgren said.
As far as Hoguet's outlook: "It's going to be a rocky year."
For 2008, Macy's projects comparable-store sales ranging from down 1 percent to up 1.5 percent and earnings from $1.85 to $2.15 a diluted share, exclusive of onetime costs. The company's objective over time is for a 2 percent-plus comp sales growth and 13 to 14 percent EBITDA.
The company expects improvements in apparel soon, and has a number of strategies cooking, including an exclusive Tommy Hilfiger launch in the fall, as well as two other apparel launches at that time that have yet to be disclosed.
"The apparel business has been challenging in the last several months," Lundgren admitted, whereas he cited handbags, jewelry, shoes and cosmetics as holding up better.
"I think it is a combination of a few things. Part of it is the overall macroeconomic issues we are feeling everywhere. But I do think there has got to be more of a focus on newness and differentiation in apparel. That's definitely something that's been on our minds, and something we have been working on through the back half."
One of the fruits of the labor will be an improved INC offering for spring, Lundgren suggested. The private label is Macy's biggest ready-to-wear brand. "Our design team were very confident they could read the consumers and make sure they didn't get too basic, which they thought they did last fall. They made sure they injected fashion and choices for outfitting options. So far the customer is responding. Even in a challenging environment, the right fashion will stand up," Lundgren said.
Hoguet said Macy's will be launching a new spring TV campaign: "The concept is to reinforce that Macy's is a destination for fashion brands that is backed by some of the most-watched celebrities. Our brand marketing will continue to be balanced with promotional marketing." Advertising expenditures and the promotion schedule are seen as even with last year, Hoguet said.
Also for fall, Lundgren noted: "We have some smaller launches of fragrance and the like, and we are working on a couple of big things that we are not prepared to talk about [yet]. It's apparel related."
On the home front, Hoguet said: "The Martha Stewart launch was successful. The product not only sold well, but also we believe the launch generated traffic throughout the store by adding excitement in our home floors."
Earlier this month, Macy's announced a major consolidation of regional headquarters from seven down to four and a reduction of 2,550 staffers. "We expect these consolidations will help us make big merchandising decisions faster and simplify relationships with vendors," said Lundgren.
Along with that, Lundgren disclosed his localization strategy, which he characterized Tuesday as "my biggest priority." The plan entails establishing district offices supervising 10 stores, instead of previously 16 to 23, so that the company can assort the stores by vendor, sizes and colors at the local level. The strategy also calls for Macy's to devote more resources to product knowledge training, presenting products in a more interesting way on selling floors, and providing better sales coverage. "The objective is to both accelerate sales growth and increase our profitability," Hoguet said.

On Thursday, the GOP reportedly asked Susan Atanus to drop her bid for the Republican nomination for 9th Congressional District. Ms. Atanus stated in an interview with Chicago's Daily Herald that God is angry with homosexuality and abortion. According to the paper, God is pouring His wrath out through cold weather, Autism, and Dementia.
Ms. Atanus denies being asked by GOP leaders to withdraw and states she will not withdraw. Her comments have sparked outrage among many groups online and around America. While the Bible states homosexuality and abortions are abominations to God; there is no logical nor theological link between Autism and homosexuality. The Chicago GOP Chairman, Adam Robinson, has distanced himself and the party from the primary candidate.
Autism is not a political tool. It is a serious life-condition that millions of people seek help with each day. Ms. Atanus and others who seek to use Autism as a platform should talk to people with Autism and their family members. She should visit schools and talk to teachers and support staff. Politicians should seek to find out what they can do legislatively and personally to support people who have Autism rather than providing lip-service, broken promises, or insults.
This Examiner wants to hear from you: Do you agree or disagree with Ms. Atanus use of Autism as a political tool?

Scene hair
Welcome to Dark styles Scene hair section, providing how to's and info on how to get that perfect hairstyle. But before we start what exactly is a scene hairstyle? what defines it into this style type?
The general look for girls hair is very, very choppy, usually dyed black with a couple of thick random blonde chunks. It's normally perfectly straight all the time, with bangs that cover usually one or sometime both eyes.
Big amounts of volume, with lots of product use, things such as special shampoos, hair wax, mousses, and sprays. Cute little plastic hair clips are often used, as well as bows, headbands with polka-dots and other cute little accessories which usually don't serve any purpose besides being cute.
For boys, this style of hair is normally short on the back, around 2 to 3 inches long and about chin-length on the front. The most common colour for boys is dyed black with perhaps a chunk of blonde or red, and again with the bangs hanging in front of the eyes.
The back is often spiked up, while the bangs are perfectly straight. Faux-hawks are also considered scene for both boys and girls alike. As for accessories, bandanna's can be worn around the head as well, but this is just the guy version of clips and doesn't serve any purpose besides the certain "look" it creates.
So what about colour?
Nice of you to ask, for genuine scene styles with true scene highlights that have the in your face edge and really stand out but stays modern and extremely fashionable, you should try out new hair colors such as purple or pink.
On hairstyles, you should go for scene style colored highlights, maybe, multi-colored or maybe with black or blonde highlights or tips and with streaks of electric blue or copper or light red. Despite all the modern color trends, blonde with black underneath is supposed to be the most common scene colour. Blonde with streaks of blue or pink and fringes covering half of your face is another commonly liked haircut.

Knicks, Rangers Ticket Prices to Increase Next Season
By William Launder
Tickets for New York Rangers and Knicks games will be more expensive next season, Madison Square Garden Co. said on Monday, citing the ongoing renovations at its namesake Manhattan arena.
Ticket prices for Knicks games will increase by an average of 4.9% for the 2012-2013 season, while Rangers ticket prices will jump by an average of 9.5%, Madison Square Garden said. The ticket increases come as the Rangers hold the best record in the National Hockey League and the Knicks enjoy a surge in popularity with the emergence of star point guard Jeremy Lin.
Madison Square Garden is undergoing a three-year renovation that is projected to cost just shy of $1 billion. The company attributed the jump in prices to new seating and sightlines in the upper-bowl section of the Garden.
The change in ticket prices come several weeks after MSG and Time Warner Cable Inc. ended a programming spat that shut out local Time Warner Cable subscribers from watching Knicks, Rangers and other regional sports teams for seven weeks. Viewing access was restored shortly after the two companies reached an agreement.

I didn't want to use potatoes because of the carb count, so I opted for turnips because the have less. I also forgot the leeks at the grocery store, so I just used onion. I did add a good bit of garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. The soup was very luxurious, I felt like I was eating a full fledged, full calorie cream soup!

Olympic hockey fans in America need to pinch themselves. The rematch of the 2010 gold medal game, won in overtime by Canada, is going to happen. Talked up before the Olympics, it has now become reality with the two teams slated to showdown in the Olympic semifinals. According to the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday, the USA advance to the semifinals with a solid victory over Czech Republic at Shayba Arena.
The USA team seemed to be in trouble at the beginning of the game as Czech Republic was strong. However, after picking up the pace it was a complete turnaround by Team USA toward the end of the game. Offering some great plays, it was Ryan Suter with three assists and James van Riemsdyk, Zach Parise, Phil Kessel, Dustin Brown and David Backes each scoring goals.
The intensity of the Olympic hockey can't be overshadowed on Wednesday. Russia lost to Finland and is out of the competition. Canada pounded Latvia with Shea Weber scoring a tiebreaking power-play goal to advance in the competition.
Offering some great hockey, the semifinal game between Canada and USA will be one of the biggest. There is no doubt every hockey fan on the North American continent will be watching this game. It might not be the final gold game, but it is one of the biggest games the Olympics has to offer.

Nelleke Nix
1931 Aurora, Bridge under construction
Acrylic and oil on wood, 2012
Framing donated by the artist
Nelleke Nix is an artist with ties to both coasts of the United States—New York and Washington. She has exhibited work and won awards in such far-flung places as Russia, Poland, Italy, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. She received the MFA from the Royal Academy (College of) the Visual Arts in the Hague, Netherlands, and studied at the University of Washington, Stanford University, and the Academie de Beaux Arts in Paris. Her work is in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Rhode Island Museum of the Holocaust, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the University of Washington's Allen Library, the Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, DC, and the National Public Library in Auckland New Zealand. The Noble Maritime Collection featured a solo exhibition in 2005 entitled Soul Sails/Antarctica based on her study trip on the ship Discovery. Currently her installation titled The Dogs of Titanic is on view in the library as part of our exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of the disaster. She has finished 600 copies of her artist's book, Golden Dogs of Autism, she made completely by hand. She is working on a new book, and it will appear autumn 2013 if all goes well. She comments that she looks forward to having a piece ready for the Noble auction. She is nostalgic about her 16 years of working and living on St Paul's Avenue, which ended in 2001, and her involvement with the Noble fills a little of that gap in her life.

Now that you are familar with the basics of the policy, it is important to check with your health insurance company if you are planning an upcoming hospital admission or procedure. By checking with your health insurance carrier, you can make sure you cover all the bases, and lessen the chances of any coverage issues or precertification problems. Know the benefits, know the plan rules, and follow those rules. Again, staying within the network --as most plans have a preferred network of providers-- is the best way to minimize your out-of-pocket (deductible and co-insurance) expenses.
Going to a network doctor and hospital also means they will file the claim for you. The payment will go to the doctor and hospital. It is best to wait for your explanation of benefits from the insurance company, before making any payment to a doctor or hospital. That way, you can make sure you pay exactly what you owe, rather than overpaying and have to request (and wait for) a refund.
Once you receive the explanation of benefits from the insurance company, match this information with the bill received from provider of service. The 'date of service' and 'total charge' are the key pieces of information needed to match the provider bills to the explanation of benefits from the insurance company.
If you are unsure of how to interpret the information on the explanation of benefits, call the insurance company and have a representative go over it with you. After you do this a couple of times, it will make sense and you will be able to easily understand the jargon, and to also know when something doesn't make sense. If it doesn't make sense to you, call and question the insurance company until you a satisfactory answer.
Remember that you always have the right to appeal a claim in writing, if initial efforts to resolve issues with a simple phone call are not successful. More on 'how to write an appeal' in Part 3 of this series.

The violin has long had an uneasy relationship with jazz -- too entrenched in symphonies and string quartets to really sound like a jazz instrument, too expressive and enmeshed with multiple traditions that informed the shape of jazz to ignore.
In the past few decades, a new breed of fiddlers has emerged bent on resolving such seeming conflicts by ignoring labels. It's all music, and the violin belongs just about anywhere you care to tote it. Chief among these has been Regina Carter, who's built a dazzlingly original repertoire that references influences from America, Europe, Africa and elsewhere while retaining a dynamic jazz center. Her latest project, "Southern Comfort," filters her brilliance through a geographic lens, drawing on Southern motifs ranging from spirituals to Hank Williams. She'll perform the songs with her quintet for shows at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 4 p.m. Sunday, at SFJAZZ Center. Tickets are $25-$55.
Also worth noting on the Bay Area jazz scene this week:
- Sachal Vasandi, a brilliant young vocalist who makes everything old sound new again, doubles up with piano prodigy Taylor Eigsti for a 7:30 p.m. Tuesday concert at Piedmont Piano Company in Oakland. $20
- Dee Bell, a singer who deftly mixes Latin and straight-ahead jazz instincts, celebrates the release of her long-awaited album, "Elation," with an 8 p.m. Tuesday show at Yoshi's Oakland. $25
- Saxophonist Branford Marsalis, a one-time firebrand who's matured into a player of considerable depth and wisdom, cuts loose with his quartet for shows at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday at SFJAZZ Center. $35-$75, but tickets are almost gone.
- Drummer Josh Jones and his Pan Power Trio kick up an Afro-Caribbean storm, 8 p.m. Friday at the California Jazz Conservatory. $12-$15
- Bassist, bandleader and all-around Bay Area jazz essential Marcus Shelby celebrates the Duke Ellington legacy with his orchestra for an 8 p.m. Friday Cal Performances show at Zellerbach Hall. $22-$68
- Halie Loren, a young torch singer with a deliciously earthy tone and compelling sense for phrasing, teams up with violin wunderkind Mads Tollling, sure to draw out her Euro-jazz tendencies, for a 7p.m. Sunday show at Yoshi's San Francisco. $25
- Ed Reed, a singer with impeccable blues instincts whose richly burnished tone reflects eight decades of wisdom, performs with a quartet of Bay Area instrumental aces, 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society near Half Moon Bay. $35
- Pianist and salsa legend Eddie Palmieri convenes his orchestra to kick off another gem-filled series of free shows for the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, starting 1 p.m. Sunday.

Following critical remarks made earlier this year towards the current climate of film journalism, Red State director Kevin Smith has announced that he won't be doing interviews or press of any kind for his upcoming horror film, except for interviews conducted solely by himself.
Smith announced the news on Twitter:
I'm not press-junketing at all, anywhere. In fact, I'm not doing any press outside of maybe a business piece or 2 to help sell the flick if needed, & radio (LOTS of radio). That's what http://smodcast.com/redstate/ is about: I'm providing all the information needed to write a story, if that's what you're looking to do. It's INSANELY detailed, and by the time we're done, I'll have pre-answered all questions about RedState — thus negating the need to speak with me about it. From nearly 20 yrs experience, I know this much: folks are gonna write WHATEVER they want, whether I sit down with them or not. So I'll just furnish all the information I'd normally serve up one at a time to a small, jaded audience that doesn't really give a shit unless there's someone famous in the room, to a much larger, APPRECIATIVE audience that would actually enjoy & benefit from hearing the same information … So rather than subject all involved to a painful waste of resources, time & money, I'm doing the RedStateOfTheUnion Q&A's. It's kind of like an audio press kit. We're even transcribing them now, for the SUPER lazy writers who've already bitched about having to wade through 12 hours of audio so they can write knowledgeably about a subject. Nobody needs to talk to me anymore anyway, as anyone who's curious can always know what I'm thinking 24/7 right here on Twitter.
It's certainly Smith's right to handle his movie however he sees fit, but I think he's making a mistake here. The Red State trailer was chilling, an instant winner that likely turned the heads of several skeptics. By all accounts, this doesn't look like another Cop Out fiasco — except for the fact that Smith is shutting out an entire selection of possible supporters and word-of-mouth spreaders. It'll be interesting to see if the media shutout has any noticeable influence on the final outcome of Red State in one direction or the other.
[via Vulture]
On the one hand, I can understand Smith being pissed off at the media. On the other: conducting his OWN interviews? Yeah, that's not going to look biased.
On the one hand I think movies as a whole are getting ridiculous where we are getting handed down essentially anything and everything about the movie before it's even out (yes that is meant to also be against all these recent trailers that literally give away the entire movie). I like the idea of simply allowing movies to actually speak for themselves for once. Let you decide what it means to you similar to how Bill Waterson allowed Calvin and Hobbes to speak for itself.
On the other hand I hope this level of control is not the shape of things to come. If you going to give out press then the press should actually be involved or likewise have regular people ask and voice their opinion to Kevin Smith.
Granted he did mention he's planning on doing a lot of radio so maybe this whole announcement is kind of meaningless since he'll still be out there I guess just not as much in forms of media.

July 30, 1999
Winnipeg, Canada - USA Softball pitcher Michele Smith (Califon, N.J.) pitched a one-hit complete-game shutout as the USA downed Netherlands Antilles, 5-0, Friday night in Pan American Games pool-play action at John Blumberg Complex.
Smith came within three outs of pitching the USA's second-consecutive perfect game when Solange Ostiana singled up the middle in the top of the seventh inning. Smith recorded 15 strikeouts to run her record to 1-0 in tournament action.
"I felt pretty good tonight," said Smith. "I gave up that one hit at the end. I just got a little too careful on a riseball, but overall I felt good. I felt like the ball was moving so that was nice."
The USA scored its first run when Crystl Bustos (Canyon Country, Calif.), who led off the inning with a single to right field, later scored on a bases-loaded walk by former Bruin Jennifer Brundage (Irvine, Calif.).
The USA rallied to score three more runs in the fifth inning when Shelly Stokes (Sacramento, Calif.) scored on a Lisa Fernandez (UCLA/Long Beach, Calif.) ground out. Bustos (2-for-3, two runs, two RBI) hit a towering two-run home run, putting the team up 4-0. The USA scored its final run in the sixth inning after Brundage (1-for-2, one RBI) doubled and scored on a fielding error by the Netherlands Antilles shortstop on a ball hit by Julie Smith (Glendora, Calif.).
"It just took us a while to get used to their pitching tonight," said Bustos. "We were putting the ball in play but it was right at them. I was a little frustrated after my second at-bat, so then I came up to the plate with total concentration. I was looking for that inside pitch because she got me on it before. I was waiting for it and I got a hold of the whole thing."
USA, which has captured the gold medal at the last three Pan American Games and has won 32-consecutive games, plays Netherlands Antilles again Saturday at 1 p.m. (CDT) and faces host Canada at 8 p.m.
