Enough English to make it usable.
I wonder why no one in USA/Canada can do this. Ever since Kobo stopped supporting Window 8/RT, I've been searching for an app to read my Kobo & Sony books on my tablet. Very few allow importation of acsm (DRM protected epub) books. None that do are in English. This site has translated enough to make it usable for monolingual me. Suggestion: translate the user's manual for us dummies, then it will be 5 star.More

We all remember our favorite childhood object: a blankie, a teddy bear, a favorite hat. But a beloved plaything can turn into a parent's worst nightmare when it goes missing. Kate Kelly, Managing Editor of American Baby Magazine, offers some advice on how to cope when your child loses their most prized posession.
Stress relief beings with a little proactive planning. "As soon as you get a sense that no one is getting any sleep if this [object] is lost, you should take some steps," says Kelly. First, write down the manufacturer and model number as soon as possible. "It's going to be a lot easier to read while it's still new than a year later," says Kelly.
Secondly, take a picture of the toy. It can help with descriptions later on and will make the toy easier to locate. Also, if at all possible, "Buy a duplicate while it's still in stock at the stores," says Kelly. You'll have the item on hand if it ever becomes lost.
If your child does lose the treasured toy, put up "Lost" posters around your neighborhood. Be sure to include vital information, such as a phone number and a clear photo of the item.
Also, try calling the manufacturer. According to Kelly, some companies have secret stashes of certain items. "Carter's apparently puts aside a certain number of [toys] just in case of this eventuality," says Kelly.
If all else fails, go online and search for the item. If you've written down the manufacturer and model number, your search will be much easier. "You can always Google and [go on] eBay," says Kelly. Remember, though, that the item may no longer have the original price. "It's not going to be $7.00 anymore... if it's two years later," says Kelly.

Three immigrant street vendors tell their stories — their reasons for coming to America and their hopes and dreams.
Three Chinese American women, who are very successful in their fields, are considered failures for one single reason — for staying single past the age of 25.
Amid the sea of Chinese characters in Sunset Park's Eighth Avenue, an Irish pub has held its ground despite waves of inward and outward migration.
Red is believed to be a lucky color and everyone wants to carry good luck with them. But that symbol of good fortune may soon carry something else: a 10-cent charge.
Urbanist Tarry Hum's new book on Sunset Park looks at the economic, cultural and land use shifts in the waterfront Brooklyn neighborhood.
Finntown in the 1920s and 30s was a bit like a leftist fantasy mixed with a touch of "Portlandia"…
The applications have been streaming in for our next round of Open City fellows. If you're an emerging Asian American writer, consider applying and help spread the word about this wonderful opportunity…
Council District 38, which includes the heavily Asian and Latino Sunset Park, is a testing ground to see whether an experiment in direct democracy can meet its lofty goals…
The gate, the window guards (all seven of them), the railings leading up to the door, the door itself — all bright stainless steel, and sparkling even on this cloudy day.
"…the union guys were really worried. They were literally pissing in their pants…15 minutes later, it seemed like 15,000 women came out of the woodwork. Literally. From the buildings in Soho. They just couldn't believe it."
"Manhattan gets everything. No more, no more…Our next mayor is going to be from Brooklyn no matter who wins."
One Saturday afternoon in Sunset Park, I was sitting on the cement rim of a drained wading pool, watching elderly Chinese couples foxtrot to staticky melodies playing from a beat-up cassette player.
It's like wearing a swagger on your face. If you've got a mustache, you're someone to be taken seriously.
This Sunset Park eatery is known for dishing up the best dumplings in New York City. So why is its owner, Mr. Chen, barely breaking even?
It all started with Beijing rock band The Fly—a cross between the Sex Pistols and Nirvana, but, you know, in Mandarin.
Perhaps the air conditioner was broken. Perhaps there was no air conditioner.
A photo essay.
"There's nobody left in Chinatown, is there?"
I checked out a space on Catherine and Madison, thinking that a Chinatown address would at least appease my dad.

I have a problem caused by breaking strict pointer aliasing rule. I have a type
T that comes from a template and some integral type
Int of the same size (as with
sizeof). My code essentially does the following:
T x = some_other_t;
if (*reinterpret_cast <Int*> (&x) == 0)
T is some arbitary (other than the size restriction) type that could have a constructor, I cannot make a union of
T and
Int. (This is allowed only in C++0x only and isn't even supported by GCC yet).
Is there any way I could rewrite the above pseudocode to preserve functionality and avoid breaking strict aliasing rule? Note that this is a template, I cannot control
T or value of
some_other_t; the assignment and subsequent comparison do happen inside the templated code.
(For the record, the above code started breaking on GCC 4.5 if
T contains any bit fields.)

Can national milk brand revitalise Dean Foods?
Dean Foods this week announced it was bringing its 31 fluid milk brands under one label - DairyPure - and appears to be pushing the latest "...
Liquid milk is not a category that benefits from significant added value. While milk is on the shopping list, generally speaking, it is not an area where consumers are engaged and brands are valued. Here is just-food's four-point plan for adding value to the milk category.
General Mills' move for Annie's has further fuelled the belief US natural and organic food companies, including Hain Celestial and WhiteWave Foods, could become takeover targets for mainstream groups searching for growth. But the price General Mills has agreed to pay for Annie's also underlines such deals would likely be expensive.
Food manufacturers seem to be willing to take more risks on NPD, which is encouraging after seeing years of caution and a focus on nostalgia or new packaging formats. However, for those operating in struggling categories, innovation may not solve the dilemma of how to reignite growth.
Read the financial statements and listen to the conference calls from US food manufacturers in recent days and it is clear: companies operating there are still facing tough conditions and cautious consumers.
Latest Interviews
WhiteWave Foods, the US-based organic and natural foods specialist, was spun off from dairy giant Dean Foods last year. Deanna Bratter, senior manager of corporate sustainability at WhiteWave, spoke with Ben Cooper about the company's approach to sustainability as an independent operation.
Alpro has had three owners in four years but one executive that has been at the company throughout is CEO Bernard Deryckere. He talks to Dean Best about the success Alpro, now owned by US firm WhiteWave Foods, has had with the recent expansion of its product portfolio.
Latest News
Dean Foods, the US dairy group, has launched a lactose-free version of its DairyPure milk.
Dean Foods has announced the acquisition of US-based Friendly's Ice Cream's manufacturing and retail operations in a US$155m deal.

Dean Foods is to shut a milk processing site in New Orleans, pointing to a bid to "enhance manufacturing capabilities" in the area.
Dean Foods said today (22 February) its operating performance improved after a "very strong year" which saw adjusted earnings swing back into the black.
Dean Foods is expanding its TruMoo chocolate milk line with the launch of TruMoo Calcium Plus, a low-fat chocolate milk, in the US.
This week, Orkla pledged zero-deforestation by 2020. Elsewhere, United Biscuits opened its first e-commerce store in China. just-food spoke to CEO of American Halal Co., Adnan Durrani following the firm's recent acquisition in the plant-protein space and Givesco Bakery acquired cake maker Almondy. Here is the week in quotes.
Dean Foods CEO Gregg Tanner today (9 November) insisted the "health" of the US dairy category is "probably as good as it has been" in his nine years at the US milk giant after the company reported its third-quarter results.
Dean Foods has appointed chief commercial officer Ralph Scozzafava to the position of chief operating officer.
This week, B&G Foods announced it had acquired General Mills' struggling Green Giant business in a US$765m deal. Elsewhere, Arla Foods struck two joint ventures in Senegal and Nigeria as the dairy group looks to further expand its presence in Africa. Meanwhile, Campbell Soup Co. reported its full year results and issued a 2015/16 forecast above Wall Street estimates. Here is the week in quotes.
Freedom Foods Group has confirmed the interest it and Dean Foods jointly had in A2 Milk Co. has cooled.
Dean Foods, the US dairy giant, and Australia's Freedom Foods Group have yet to contact A2 Milk Co. again after the New Zealand-based dairy company turned down their takeover interest.

Dean Foods has announced the resignation of non-executive chairman Tom Davis.
The speculation around General Mills' ailing Green Giant brand continued this week with claims Bonduelle is eyeing up the unit. We looked at the likelihood of the French group making an offer. Meanwhile, Danone decided to merge is under-pressure Chinese infant formula arm business with local dairy giant Mengniu and we looked at the key takeaways from Campbell Soup Co.'s investor day in the US.
Freedom Foods Group has refused to be drawn on whether it and fellow suitor Dean Foods will table a new expression of interest in New Zealand milk group A2 Milk Co.
New Zealand dairy processor A2 Milk Co. has turned down takeover interest from Freedom Foods Group and the Australian group's bid partner, Dean Foods, the US dairy giant.
Dean Foods has been revealed as the party that has expressed interest in a joint acquisition with Australia's Freedom Foods of the A2 Milk Co.
US milk supplier Dean Foods has insisted its launch of national brand DairyPure fills a gap in a market where liquid milk consumption continues to fall.
Shares in Dean Foods jumped today (11 May) despite a reported first-quarter loss as the US milk supplier's underlying earnings beat analyst forecasts.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
I experimented at the cottage with a jam thickened with grated Granny Smith apples. It worked so well the judges at Canada's Royal Winter Fair declared the texture "perfect"!
Blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, rhubarb: everything that was thawing in my freezer during Hurricane Irene went into this one. It turned out surprisingly well: hurricane cooking at its finest.
Why stop at just 3 berries?

LITTLE LIFFNER is a Stockholm based bag brand focusing on everyday all-day handbags in touch-worthy materials, made by experienced hands outside of Florence, Italy. In clean styles with minimum hardware the bags have a blank canvas quality that makes them sit equally well with worn denim or the occasional sharp suit.
The Spring Summer 2016 collection is inspired by nature up close; bright sunlight, dry faded grass and tanned summer skin, contrasted by the simple genius of the Bauhaus primary color palette.
It also draws inspiration from Swedish American artist Clay Ketter's abstract color blocking fusing architectural elements with painting and photography -balancing refinement and rawness with grace.
The color palette is mainly neutral; brown, tan, beige and greige with an unexpected bright accent in a sunny yellow. Lizard and croc embossed calf leathers are combined with raw cotton canvas and smooth leathers with a natural look and feel. All materials are locally sourced in Tuscany.
Straight geometrical lines continue to define the Little Liffner aesthetic, combined with a curved D-line and new circle shape. The style of the season is undoubtedly the D-Saddle, a development of last seasons popular saddle bag with an added hardware element and perfect medium size. For the evening, the Tiny Box gets an update with a ring adornment and snake chain shoulder strap adding a hint of sportiness.
The new Ring Tote makes a casual chic addition to the collection, offering a roomy yet refined alternative for everyday wear. Combined with a matching Mini Pouch it makes the perfect set for functional yet stylish travel.

Boston Marathon Bombing | A Personal Account of Being at the Finish Line
Note: JD Hale, Yankee Publishing Vice-President, is the great nephew of Yankee Magazine's founder, Robb Sagendorph.
Until last Monday I had not been to the finish of the Boston Marathon since I ran it in 1986.
I was a rookie BAA volunteer in my yellow Adidas jacket along with my friend Bill Goodwin and wife, Cindy Hale. I would not wish our day on anyone but I am glad we were there – and I feel blessed it was with my wife, Cindy and friend, Bill. Being together helped us to do what we did.
The Marathon has always been part of my life – watching it on television with my mom in the 70s, cheering my Bates College roommate for his barely-trained crazy run in 1979, and seeing the Bowdoin College singlet (arch rival school!) on Joan Benoit as she won the women's division, and Billy Rodgers taking it to Seko for the win for the men.
By the 80s, I was a working man in Boston – and I would rally my colleagues to leave the office down by Faneuil Hall at our "lunch hour" and go up to Mass Ave. (near a T station) and cheer on the runners. I realize now – I was still a New Hampshire guy drawn to the history, the competition, the simplicity and excitement of the event.
Then Yankee Magazine ran a cover story in 1993 entitled, "New England's Perfect Day". The writer, Todd Balf, did it all that day from the reenactments to the parades to the Red Sox game to the Marathon. I realized it truly is New England's "perfect day". From that day forward, I have always taken the day as vacation with one goal – make the very most of this day. I had become a true Bostonian.
My three kids were young and for fun we would often ride our bikes in the 5 AM darkness (flash lights duct taped to their handle bars) up the Minuteman Bike Path in Lexington, get near the green, ditch the bikes and run to the edge of the reenactment which starts at 6 AM. I always shed a tear at the battle's conclusion. Every darn year we got wiped out! But we always bounced back quickly with the pancake feast in a different church vestry each year. And, also, found solace in hearing we did better up in Concord.
Every year, by noon we were in the hills of Newton at the Marathon, just up a bit from the fire station where the runners turn on Commonwealth Avenue and need a lot of support. We would set up our mini-water station with the kids. They loved handing out the water or getting "fives". As the years passed our runner friends and runners we hosted from around the country knew right where to find us. It was a party.
Then the last few years leading up to this year – we have had Patriot's Day Red Sox tickets. The kids are older now – and so it was the perfect way to see a game and see the Marathon in Kenmore Square – have a fun day in the city as a family. In February of this year I was excited to learn I had been accepted as a volunteer (98% of the volunteers are veterans). The three of us all got in and we were assigned to the finish in front of the VIP Tent where the wheel chair division, elite runners, BAA running club and sponsored runners (Adidas, John Hancock and others) are funneled through to after crossing the finish line. We would be working for Bill's friend and BAA volunteer captain, Paul Clark.
We were positioned in Copley Square between the Trinity Church and the Public Library. The finish line medical tent was right next to us.
Shortly before 2:50 pm on Monday — we had been hugging runners with a "congratulations!" and warming BAA Boston Marathon blanket for about two hours. We had been working on other tasks since 9 am. I asked a volunteer to take my place for a break and I walked up to the actual finish line to get a closer look at runners at that amazing moment of victory, relief, celebration, and extreme exhaustion. My own memories of that moment in 1986 are very fuzzy – but seeing the runners, crossing the line, victorious, no matter the time — brought me right back. I was refreshed and ready for a lot more runners as we figured there were still over 10,000 still to come.
I saw Bill and Cindy as I returned and grabbed a handful of blankets and turned towards the oncoming runners. I think everyone knows what happened next. It happened right in front of us. We were aghast.
The blast was so loud. It sent smoke and debris skyward. (We learned later that bomb debris had flown right over our heads).

A little Dutch company potentially lets a flood of problems into our Windows machines.
The company manages digital certificates; after its recent break-in by hackers, security certificates for Mozilla, Yahoo, WordPress, and other sites are now suspect.
On a daily basis, no matter what our level of paranoia, we trust the companies we work with. … Well, at least our browsers and computers do. Inside all computers, both Windows and Mac, is a collection of digital certificates that everyone on the Net has agreed to trust. On Vista and Windows 7 systems, these root certificates (definition) are updated by the issuer automatically. But on Windows XP machines, they're updated manually.
Companies doing business on the Internet buy certificates linked to a root certificate and automatically become part of the chain of trust. Because your computer trusts the vendor who provided the root certificate, it automatically trusts all online businesses with associated certificates.
This process is the foundation for secure Web transactions such as shopping on Amazon, online-banking, and e-mail.
Many updates after breaks in the chain of trust
Typically, this system works well. But on the rare occasions it fails — when the chain of trust is broken — it can instantly affect thousands of PCs.

That would be me if I met the cast of the show XD
That would be my reaction if Twilight showed up in my house...
This pretty much sums up the reaction most bronies had when it was first made public
iv seen this before its called...fan girl syndrome or fangasm
omg LOL XD i love this just look at twilight!!! XD
Prediction level:
[ ] Weather Forecast
[x] Wizard
[ ] Prophet
[ ] Weather Forecast
[x] Wizard
[ ] Prophet
Yeah, I myself was pretty shocked during my first watch of Daring Don't, I can't imagine the kind of shock they went through.
Then why does the brohoof icon has Pinkie's hoof?
the fact that rainbowdash and daring do look alike freaked me out at first to
WTH happened to her?
Are you a wizard?
I bow to your divination ability.
well, she did turn to be real after all...
Nice prediction!
You....You are REAL!!!!?????
Well today, this comic is finally plausible thanks to today's episode Daring Don't
(after see the sneak peek for daring don't maaaaaybe)
Twilight is so overwhelmed with everypony else's total disregard for the fourth wall that she goes into a coma... sounds about right.
i think that the Daring Do books are kind of like this book i read where the author was the protagonist of a high-flying fantasy. In other words: not real. or maybe she just gave twi's mom permission to use her name and image for her books. or it's just an exaggerated chronicling of her archaeological expeditions.
Well yeah. Who else do you think made the book?
Could I translate your comics to Korean language?
great dashie... you broke her again..
She took it better than I thought.
Wow, when Rainbow said Twilight would freak out she sure as hell wasn't exaggerating.
I lol'd. Poor Twilight. XD

My coworkers and I cannot seem to agree on a solution to the following issue:
We are working on moving our application to the .net framework. It will be a standalone application (not a web application) that will consist of many custom forms used for making changes to our extensive database. So, in summary, without a database connection, the application is pretty much useless. Oh--and there's no need to suggest making this a web application because there is really no choice in the matter.
I am responsible for building the "main menu"--I've decided on a tree structure that will list all the custom forms (categorized by team). It will also include a "My Forms" section and a "Recent Forms" section that will be changed by the user (my forms) and the system (recent forms) on a regular basis.
My question is this: what is the best place for storing these custom user-specific-settings? An XML file located locally or in tables located database? Maybe it's because I'm a former web app developer but I'm totally for having this stored on the database. What do y'all think?
Thanks for your opinions

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Kimberly Groff, a a clinical psychology master's student at Loyola University Maryland is doing her thesis on "Family Relationships and Men's Participation in Comic Book Fan Culture."
As part of her research study, she needs male comic book fans over 18 years of age to take an anonymous survey (she says it will take less than 25 minutes to answer). If you partcipate, you will get a chance to win $100 in a raffle.
Click here for more information and details on how to help.
…hmm. The randomizer doesn't seem to work too well if there are questions referring to other questions (the first question about "my father" referred to a previous question, which was apparently the one which came couple of pages later) and I don't know if the order would affect the questions (e.g. the question if my mother and father were currently together or not did not have an option that one or both were deceased…)
The first question was really weird, asking about a social group and my relationship with it, without bothering to explain in any way what it meant with a social group. Human beings? Readers of CSBG? People who work in the same place as I do? People who go to the same church as I do? I belong to multiple vaguely defined social groups.
Many of the comics questions were a tad off for me too on account of me not being American…yet there was no mention in the beginning about location affecting the participation nor was there any question about it in the questionnaire, even if it should affect things strongly.
So anyway, I decided not to answer the questionnaire.
Yeah, I was also going to do this, but that whole first page about "social groups" seemed so odd that I bailed.
I concur with the other commentors. 'Comic book social group' was really poorly defined, and I was definitely not the target subject. Maybe she should refine the subject criteria. I'm over 18 and read comics, but I couldn't answer many of the questions because I don't read any ongoing stuff and I'm engaged in a lot of non-superhero comics. It did remind me how much I love my dad, though, and I might get 100 bucks, so hooray! Net gain!
I hope I was of some help, but I'm not positive that I was. Some of those questions sure are bizarre. "My favorite comic book character keeps me company while I am reading his or her comic book issue." Given who my favorite characters are (and neither are superheroes), I'm rather concerned about what answering anything but "Strongly Disagree" would say about my mental health.
Crap, I need to get going. Snake Eyes needs to use the computer to look up something for Bigby, because he hasn't figured out how to use the Google yet.
Totally not getting the point here. What's a "comic book social group"? That seems like it would be a group of my peers who read comics, but…I'm really the only one of my friends who reads comics. I can't say I've ever belonged to a "comic book social group," unless you count the one other guy I knew in college who read comics, but two people is hardly a "social group."
Yeah, ditto.
"We would now like you to consider your membership in comic book social groups. By social groups we mean collections of people that know each other and interact frequently. Please choose a comic book social group that is MOST IMPORTANT to you and write the name of that group below. "
Really wanted to help out but I have no idea what she wants to survey.
I agree the part about the social groups was kind of weird. I just thought about my friends in college… 25 years ago.
The part about the relationship with my father and mother was kind of awkward since my dad is a widower. I hope they ask for feedback.
I agree with most people about the definition of "social groups." Honestly, I saw "Loyola University in Maryland" and was all, "Hey! I went there!" and decided to help out my alma mater in a way.
But I will say that some of the questions seemed like they were a bit too leading.
Filled it out just now. The concerns expressed above certainly apply for me (an antisocial old reprobate on even the best of days), & when you throw in the fact that my main interest is in so-called Classic Comics, that my favorite character (Sgt. Fury) hasn't had a series since Nixon was president, & that it's hard gauging just how close my relationship is with my parents, who've been dead since I was young (7 for my father, 24 for my mother) … who knows?
I agree. The questions were strange. I tried to answer them the best I could, but I felt like most of it didn't really apply.
I was amused right off the bat with the "There are no risks or benefits associated with your participation in the research study." So why should I do it?
But yeah, the definition of "comic book social group" isn't clear. But I picked CSBG.
You…uh…you guys won't abandon me, right?
It probably doesn't help if I give conflicting answers to the very similar questions, right?
Some of it reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg line about a weirdly worded survey. "Have you ever tried sugar…or PCP?"
This survey is bringing up all sorts of emotional hoohah. Oy. I better win 100 bucks for this!
Should I disagree that it is "pleasent" to be a comic fan?
Oh, and since no one else said it, do your own homework, lady!
I do believe that Dan Bailey and I work for the same mega corporation, from other posts of his I've read. Just sayin'.
I typed "regular participants on comicbookresources.com" as my main comic book-oriented social group and moved on. In the typical week, I scarcely mention my comic book collection to anyone in the real world in face-to-face conversations. It's no secret that I collect the silly things, but hardly anyone around me is very interested.
On the other hand! Those questions about citizens "taking the law into their own hands" — I would have liked to see that defined.
I don't advocate lynch mobs running around and killing anyone whom they, in the heat of the moment, believe "has it coming." I never saw Frank Castle, The Punisher, as a superhero.
On the other hand, I do feel that there are plenty of times when a civilian may feel it necessary to use violence or the threat of violence against a criminal whom he has caught in the act. Does that latter example fall into the category of "taking the law into his own hands" as Kimberly Groff interprets that phrase, or would she say that it simply falls into the tamer category of "a public-spirited citizen exerting himself with forceful measures meant to help enforce the existing law of the land?"
Once, on another comic book discussion site, I said something about superheroes usually performing "citizen's arrests," and another fan "informed me" that there is no such thing as a legally valid citizen's arrest!
ALL you are allowed to do (he said), is to run for a phone and call the police and tell them that you just witnessed a crime being committed, and then you can wait for them to get around to showing up and arrest the perpetrator, if the perp is still lingering in the area.
As you might guess, at first glance I assumed he was JOKING . . . but apparently not!
@Travis —
Sort of doubt it, if only because the corporation I work for is in no way "mega."
LOL fanboy whining has been turned into something to determine if comic fans are fringe lunatics
I was a bit bothered by how the questions made it obvious what the researchers' assumptions were. People who read comics have self-esteem problems, difficulty separating reality from fantasy, and issues with their fathers? Wow, what a startlingly original hypothesis! Gold star!
I bailed on the social group question.
I could have gone with the CBR forums, but that didn't seem to fit the questions, and with my every day real-world friends… well, we don't have a 'comic group'.
Some of my friends are into comics, and we'll chat about them, but it's not the backbone, or even a main part of the friendship.
When I was in Uni just coming up with such ill defined survey questions would have resulted in an instant fail for me.
Incidentally, it looks as if a lot more could be learned just reading through this comment thread than whatever dubious outcomes the survey may come up with.
Well, it is a large media corp that has been laying people off the last few years, so maybe you're not there anymore. Uh, if you ever were. ok, whatever.
@Travis —
Once I thought about it, I figured you were talking about … you-know-who.
I was at their, uh, local outlet from 11/01-11/02 — in fact, a middle-management position is why I moved there — but that ended a week short of 12 months. Can't say I didn't know better, in that I was told the position had been occupied by 7 different people in as many years, but I needed the job.
I still do vaguely the same work, but let's just say no newsprint is involved.
@Dan — well, there's a Dan Bailey on the internal email list, but I guess that's not you then. I thought from comments on Comics Critics, I think, that you were with "cough cough cough" within the last few years. Good thing I didn't email this IT Dan Bailey then, I suppose…
Definitely not me. Not only that, but the very idea of my working in IT would be frightening to all concerned; I'm about as qualified to work on spaceships. My job was, & still is, screwing with other people's words.

Kate Moss in a Denim Dress
Kate Moss was spotted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil getting ready to do another shoot for Vogue. I don't think they'll ever be year when Kate will not grace the cover of Vogue, whether it is for US, UK, or Paris. A year without Kate on a cover is like a year without denim. Which I highly doubt would ever happen.
She chose to wear a denim dress for the sunny day in the beachy country. Which must be a great departure from the cold weather in England and even here in California. Ugh…the rain is back. We don't spot Kate in many dresses during the day, yet alone a denim one. I think this a great one for her. It is a nice fit and refreshing to see a different style other than the usual skin-tight tube ones that we usually see. I also like that she paired it with some T-strap sandals, very casual and easy looking.
Trend Alert: The Cropped Flare
Cropped Flares were a trend that I didn't think would get picked up by the masses, but I am happy it did. Stars like Jessica Alba, Elle Macpherson, and Kate Moss have all been spotted wearing these styles. The style is very laid-back for the day and easy to dress up for a night out. Brands such as Textile Elizabeth and James, Victoria Beckham, Genetic, True Religion, and of course the popular J Brand have all come out with styles in many washes.
Textile's versions come with cut-off hems in medium blue washes. Victoria Beckham has styles in khaki and black that come with a mid-rise. Genetic combined two other trends for their version, lace-up and cut-off. The pair by True Religion come in their classic light-blue wash. Then there are the Gigis by J Brand which come in an array of colors. They come in a dark rinse, black, even some waxed styles in both black and brown. Which ones will you readers be rocking with your ankle boots and flats this spring? You can purchase these styles at both ShopBop and Net-a-Porter.
Kate Moss in Siwy
Kate Moss was spotted arriving back at her hotel in Paris, France. Kate seems to be spending a lot of time in Paris lately. She has had a few trips there in the past couple of months. I wonder if she will be returning to the runways and she is there for fittings? Maybe she'll be participating in some of her favorites like Galliano, Balmain, and Isabel Marant.
She was wearing her Siwy Hannah jeans in Outlaw again. Rumors are starting up again that Kate just got engaged to boyfriend Jamie Hince. Weirdly enough…these rumors came out after the rumors of them getting married while on vacation. She does have a big stunner on her finger, but Kate loves her jewelery so she probably just has it on for style. In related news – Jamie will be performing at Coachella this year. I wonder if there will be any sightings of Kate there. She does love her music festivals. You can click here to purchase these jeans at BoutiqueToYou for $173.
Kate Moss' Jeans ID'd: Poltock & Walsh
Remember these jeans that Kate Moss was spotted in a while back last year in Paris. They have now been ID'd. These ankle zip trousers are by Poltock & Walsh. I like the stitching and pocket design of these, it's very unique and fresh to see that they are geometric. These are no longer available as they are a few seasons old, but you can click here to purchase Poltock & Walsh at Asos.

Costa Rica Warnings Or Dangers Tips by monica71 Top 5 Page for this destination

in front of the park entrance
We did not have a chance to see the Irazu Volcano due to thick fog and heavy rain. The park was open, but they were turning back all the cars because of the bad weather. On the way to the volcano the weather was changing from sunny to rainy and foggy, but we were hoping that once we get there there would be a break in the clouds that would allow us to see the volcano.
Unfortunately, this was not the case and we had to turn back. You never know how the weather is gonna be like until you get there, so be prepared and don't be too disappointed if you will not see the volcano.
Soda Y Express Kristina
We took American dollars with us when we left for Costa Rica and we exchange $50 in colones, therefore there were several places where we ate or bought stuff and we paid in American dollars. I was unpleasantly surprised to see that the exchange rate varied from store to store and from restaurant to restaurant. There was one particular restaurant in La Fortuna (Soda Y Express Kristina) that we ate dinner at and we were charged $1 more just because we paid in American dollars. The owner of the restaurant and his wife were there and they told us that this was because we were paying in dollars and not in colones. Our waiter came to us to apologize for this incident, telling us that the owner had too much to drink and this is why he was behaving this way. I wanted to argue with the owner, but my husband stopped me from doing it since it was just a matter of $1. I explained to him that is not the amount that bothers me, but the gesture of the owner. I let it go, but I left the restaurant with a bitter taste in my mouth and I will surely avoid eating here next time we are in the area.
I will consider exchanging about $200 in colones next time we visit Costa Rica, so we can avoid running into incidents like this one.
Keep your eyes open for signs like this one!
I am sure you read about the poor road signs in Costa Rica, but I really think that you have to experience it before really understanding this statement. Of course you will see good road signs while you are close to San Jose, but the further you go from the city, the worse the signs get. You can easily get lost on the roads. We got lost few times on the road from Alajuela to Manuel Antonio, but once we figured out what signs to look for, it was pretty easy to get there.
The maps you are given when you rent a car are not very detailed, so do not be surprised if you have to stop several times and ask for directions. Ticos are friendly people and they do like to help if you ask them. Even if you do not speak Spanish, they will do their best to explain to you how to get back on the road that takes you in the direction you want to go. We do not speak Spanish at all and we were so grateful that Ticos were patient with us and made sure we really understood the directions they gave us.
The very bad road to Arenal Lodge
In Costa Rica there are good roads, bad roads and very bad roads. I like to think that we drove on all of them and that there are no worse roads than some of the ones we drove on. If you have a car and you are the driver, make sure you feel comfortable driving a stick car on narrow roads, with lots of sharp turns. Do not attempt to pass the vehicle in front of you unless you have really good visibility on the opposite direction traffic. We have seen lots of cars in the ditch because the driver attempted to pass the vehicle in front and lost control of the car while doing it.
Another challenge are the narrow bridges that you encounter while driving. They are wide enough to accommodate just 1 car, so when you come close to the bridge you have to make sure there is no other car coming from the opposite direction.
Do Not Feed the Animals Sign
When you are vacationing in Costa Rica, you will most likely come close to some of the animals in the area you are visiting. You will see signs like this one in the picture in a lot of places. Try to stop the temptation to feed the animals. The latest reports issued show a lot of death in the animals due to heart failure triggered by human food. So the next time you come close to a monkey or any other kind of animals or birds, try to remember this report and do not feed them anything.

Our world NEEDS for you to write the book that is in you.
You are articulate, experienced, competent and the poster child for self-defense without being a nutcase.
Please consider this, if you haven't already.
Thanks for your posts!
This is a discussion on A Mother, a Daughter and a Gun within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Some of you know my story, some of you don't. Those of you who do will read this and understand what I'm talking about, those ...
Some of you know my story, some of you don't. Those of you who do will read this and understand what I'm talking about, those who don't may be able to get a hint, or you can certainly ask. I decided to post this story (which I wrote the day I returned from Wisconsin because the whole visit touched me so much) because it does show how our (or at least my) decisions to carry can be misconstrued by family, but also rethought, reanalyzed and accepted.
There are those who don't even let their spouse or parents know that they carry. I'm not that way. I'm open to close friends and family. My sisters and brother and cousins and close friends know. Most are very receptive.
Some may criticize that had I never told my mother I carry in the first place, we may never have had to deal with this, but again, that's just not me.
My mother has always believed that almost every decision I've made in the last five years has been because of my sordid past, mostly because she has not gotten over it herself, nor has she forgiven herself for it. I have tried to tell her there's nothing different she could have done and that I'm happy now and that she's been the best mother anyone could ever hope for, but she has her own demons to fight and bury. She has taken my decision to carry wrongly and I finally am seeing that start to change, much to my delight. I may take even longer, but I'm seeing the light.
It can't be easy for her just like it wasn't easy for me, but we're a family, and we're dealing with it together, as it should be.
I sat in the living room, watching television, waiting for my mother to get home from work. It had been almost nine months since Id seen her last and upon hearing she was upset to have to work the night I would be arrive in town, I promised to wait up for her so we could spend some time together before we went to bed.
Since last she saw me I had begun to take my role as a concealed carrier more seriously. Whereas I only carried when convenient before, I was now carrying constantly and felt rather naked when forced to be without my firearm. Before I had not talked much about my carry habits, but recently I had begun to discuss the issue with both my father and my mother.
While I could not carry while visiting my family as a result of carry laws in their state of residency in Wisconsin, I still took my gun with me to do some target practice and finally prove to my father that I really did carry a .45 on my small frame.
My father and I had already had a great time of showing off our weapons. I had opened my Kimber case and the first thing he had said was, It looks like a cannon. I went and got my holster, put it on and showed it just how easy it really was to conceal the cannon.
He had never played with snap caps before, nor was he very familiar with the 1911 model, but he enjoyed learning how to take it down, and turning off the lights and getting a good look at my new tritium night sights.
Not to be outdone, he went and got his Browning Hi-Power and we spent a few moments talking about guns and the governor who continues to veto the law that would give my father and other family in that state the right to carry a weapon in their own defense.
Before Dad went to bed I took my gun, secure in its leather holster, setting it on the kitchen table to take up to my bedroom after I said hello to my mother.
When my mother got home from work around one-thirty in the morning, she welcomed me warmly, kissing me on the cheek and giving me a big hug. She asked me how my flight was, and apologized for not doing more to get off of work so she could spend more time with me.
She welcomed me into the kitchen to talk and as she turned on the lights her eyes fell on the holstered gun sitting on her kitchen table.
Is that yours? she asked, knowing it had to be.
Yes, its my carry gun, I said.
She stood still for a moment, just looking at it.
Can I see it? she asked.
I unholstered it, cleared it and handed it to her as she sank into a kitchen chair looking at the weapon in her hand as one might look at something that they are not quite sure they are ready to accept.
I have never considered my little Kimber Ultra CDP to be big, but in her hands it looked huge, and in contrast her hands looked so small and so fragile.
She handled the gun carefully, turning it one way and then the other. She put her finger on the trigger, then took it off again, she brought the gun up to her eye level and looked across it at the sights, then put it down again as though she was displeased with what she saw.
This was not a target gun or a sporting gun, this was a self-defense gun, a gun carried, designed and modified to be used against threats, primarily from other humans. I dont think that realization sat well with her.
She stared at the gun for a few short seconds and then looked at me.
She looked so sad, and without saying a word I heard everything she was too polite to say.
Shes sad because she wishes she could have protected me more when I was a child. Shes sad because she realizes she couldnt. She's sad that I was forced to take my protection into my own hands when she feels it is still her job, and shes sad to realize she can never and could never truly do that for me. But most of all, shes sad because she knows the pain I had to go through to come to the point where Ive decided I could kill to keep from going through it again. Shes sad to see her baby girl strap on a gun to do a job she wishes she could have done seventeen, ten, and five years ago. Shes sad to be reminded she lives in a world were violence touches her little girl. I could see her thinking about her three other children who had not been touched with such violence and how none of them felt they needed a lethal means to defend themselves. I could see her considering my past and how big of a part she thought it played in my decision to start carrying a weapon of self-defense. I could see her sadness at those thoughts.
You carry this? she said, her voice almost at a whisper. She brought the gun back up to eye level and I could see her forcing herself to look down the barrel and picture another human being at the other end. She held the gun there for a few more moments and lowered it again. She looked determined to at least try to understand me and my choice to make this gun my companion and protector. Trying to see through the eyes of the girl I was five years ago, forgetting, or maybe just not truly grasping how much different I've become.
Yes, I replied, matching her tone.
Tell me about it, she said.
For the next couple of moments I shared specs and modifications and reasons I chose the Kimber Ultra CDP over any other gun for my personal defense. When she handed the gun back to me she didnt necessarily look relieved, but she did smile.
She looked as though she wanted to say something positive about the gun, anything to reassure me that she didnt think negatively about my choice, or me, but her silence confirmed that no positive words could be found.
She changed the subject.
Over the next few days of my visit she would see me holster my gun and walk outside with my father to do some shooting. She would stare at it on my hip as I laughed, talked, reminisced and enjoyed the company of my family. I told jokes, I teased my Dad, I ran in out of the house for fresh targets, smiling. She got to see, first hand, that carrying it wasnt a burden, but but a light assurance. I was still her little girl, I was energetic and happy, I was just packing, too. My gun wasn't there as a testimony to my paranoia, but rather to my determination to protect the new and fabulous life I had built for myself over the last five years.
On the day before I left to come home, I holstered my gun to go shoot with my Dad. When I came in, I plopped down beside my mother on the couch with my gun still on my hip and began talking about nothing in particular while my Dad went to get cleaning supplies so we could clean our recently fired firearms.
She stared at the gun less than she had before, and she even remarked at how beautifully the grips matched the belt I was wearing.
Its very pretty, she said, much to my surprise.
As I got up to go upstairs and get changed as my Dad wanted to take me out to eat, I threw a shirt on over my gun and she asked, Are you going to carry it with you? Because of her almost positive tone, at first I wasnt sure what she was talking about, but as I was carrying nothing else I caught on quickly.
I said, I cant. Its Wisconsin, Mom.
She laughed, Oh, yes, I forgot.
As I started to climb the stairs once more she looked again at the holster peeking from beneath my shirt and smiled warmly for the first time since she knew the gun had accompanied me from Pennsylvania.
The sadness in her face was gone and in her own quiet way I think she was telling me that she was starting to understand.
My Dad brags about my decision to carry as though I had won the Pulitzer Prize, my Mom, on the other hand is learning to understand that it wasnt her fault I decided to carry a gun. She didnt fail me and the gun on my hip is not a reminder of that failure. Its not a talisman to ward off the nightmares of my past. The gun is nothing more than a gun, a tool to use in a time of need. There is nothing any of us can do about what happened back then, we can only look to the future and what could happen there. Im a different girl than I was then, I have another life Im living, and my gun is one of the many tools I have in place to try to keep my life the way it is.
She sees all of my decisions to carry as the consequence of something negative in my past. But I think shes starting to understand that while it would be foolish of me to say that doesnt play a part, theres a whole lot more positive now. Im not consumed with just trying to keep an old pain from resurfacing; Im not carrying a gun just to defend against something bad. While that is a part of it, its a very small part. Mostly, I carry to protect something good: my beautiful life.

Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.
My mother never understood until I went into corrections.
If total government control equals safety, why are prisons so dangerous?
Very nice Lima. I'm glad your mom is becoming a bit more accepting of your choices.
Thanks so much for sharing that. It truly touched me. I remember my Mom's reaction when I told her I had decided to learn handguns and carry regularly. When I told her I carried my gun all the time, she remarked, "Are you that scared?"
I said, "No, Mom! I'm that prepared!!" She still thinks it is a bit strange, but I think she's starting to understand my decision a bit better recently.
I second the suggestion that you consider writing a book about the decision to carry!
Looking forward to reading more of your stuff!

Wonderful story. I'm fairly new here. From reading your post's it's obvious that you are a gifted writer, intelligent and eloquent. Keep em comming.
I don't know about your past, but it's obvious that you have triumphed and emerged a strong and confident woman.We all make our decisions based on our life lessons.Your parents should be proud of your courage and the strength of your convictions.Good job. Chuck.
Excellent story Lima, I enjoyed reading it.
USMC rule # 23 of gunfighting: Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
I am the God fearing, gun toting, flag waving conservative you were warned about!
I'll add my vote to that of everyone else in the thread and say that you should definately write a book about self defense. Reading your stories is enlightening, and extremely well written.

great post. thanks! I really enjoyed it.
Lima, you have a wonderful way of writing, and I thoroughly enjoy reading, and am touched by, your stories.
BTW, are you still doing your blog? I check it almost every day, you know!
Limatunes, if you feel I'm wrong you have my apologies. Having been close to two women who suffered abuse early in their lives, I can truly see a benefit should you decide to expand on and organize your writings. Thank you.
Great post. Glad things are going better with your mother and you carrying. And better for you in general.
I don't tell a bunch of people, but the people closest to me know. Immediate family and few close friends. I've never really come out and said to anyone at work but I think there are one or two that know though various conversations about guns and holsters.
Fortunately everyone close to me accepts it fairly well. My wife doesn't really understand I don't think but she doesn't object either. My children thought it weird/funny at first but don't really care now. My daughter has asked sometimes (like if we are alone in the truck) if I'm carrying, more in a way that makes me think she is checking to make sure I am just in case.

you just have a way with words...

alwaysreadingAge: 55-65Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5February 21, 2014alwaysreadingAge: 55-65Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 4Meets Expectations: 3Caylor Evans has a bad history when it comes to men, so she has devoted herself to her teaching and writing careers. Enter struggling artist Dylan Bradley who has moved back to Nashville after a bad relationship breakup and being fired from his job. Neither seems to be ready to be involved in a new relationship, but never underestimate a grandmother's meddling.
Right up front I'm going to say this story was really not my cup of tea. I liked the first book much better. This book seemed to place too much of the storyline along Caylor's academic career and Dylan backstory.
The scenes between Caylor and Dylan fell flat in to many places and there was not as much private interaction between the two as I would have liked. I couldn't find any romantic spark between them and their scenes always seemed to have other people in them. I just saw them as good friends rather than a couple.
I did liked the fact that as very young adults Caylor was once a secular romance writer writing steamy romance novels and that Dylan once used himself as a model for the cover of a couple of those books. I did like the fact that as they grew and matured they rergetted these choices yet neither were ready to admit their mistakes to anyone. That was something that they had to grow together as a couple and learn to trust each other.
I didn't find God too much in this story. I think that's what bugged me the most. There were a couple of place that everyone went to church, but there was really no personal interaction with God.
As usual Sassy, Caylor's grandmother, stole the book for me. She was smart and funny and energetic. I just loved all the scenes she was in. There were several places that I snickered and laughed. The part where Dylan finally stands up to his parents was really good and the scenes with Dylan and his brothers was wonderful.
Would I recommend this book? If you want a very light read then yes I would.

I wouldn't recommend Dylan, a guy who can be told to tattoo himself, live in an immoral relationship and change his main occupation, just to please a superior female. To imagine someone marrying a guy who is undergoing counselling for his every move doesn't bring "happy ever after" to mind ! I pity Caylor rather than approve. The Ransome series were better, but now I think I will avoid this author.

The Green Bay Packers have two young players whose contracts will expire at the end of the 2009 season. They have more than $20 million in salary cap space and less than a week before the NFL deadline for using 2008 cap money on future contracts.
But at least one of those players, receiver Greg Jennings, isn't interested in completing an in-season agreement. Jennings told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that he wants no distractions at such a critical point in the season.
"My thought process is that even if there is something out there, I don't want to do anything until after the season," Jennings said. "I don't want to mess with it. I'm going to wait. If it were to happen this season, it would happen at the end of the season. It definitely won't happen right now."
There is no evidence the Packers have initiated substantive discussions with either Jennings or quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whose contract also expires after 2009. There is certainly no rush, and at this point it appears both players want to re-sign eventually. It just won't happen in the next week, in all likelihood.
Continuing around the NFC North:
You figured this was coming. Tom Pelissero of the Green Bay Press-Gazette looks at the benefits Tennessee has garnered from having a veteran backup quarterback behind opening day starter Vince Young. Kerry Collins has the Titans undefeated, while the Packers have to keep their fingers crossed that rookie backup Matt Flynn remains on the sidelines.
Chicago coach Lovie Smith has been open about his support for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, but Smith went out of his way to let reporters know he has already voted for him. Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times explains.
Bob LeGere of the Daily Herald doesn't think Bears linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer (thumb) will play this week. Instead, Nick Roach is the likely starter.
David Haugh of the Chicago Tribune wonders if the Bears should move one of their three cornerbacks -- Charles Tillman, Nate Vasher and Corey Graham -- to safety in the long term.
Minnesota's special teams, which have allowed five touchdowns this season, will face a stiff test against Houston's Jacoby Jones on Sunday. Jones has two touchdowns on punt returns. Judd Zulgad and Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune lay out the situation.
Vikings defensive end Jared Allen used the bye week to have his driver's license restored in Arizona, where it was revoked because of legal entanglements. Allen tells the story in his St. Paul Pioneer Press diary.
Detroit doesn't have a ton of talent on defense, but even their best tackler -- linebacker Ernie Sims -- is struggling. Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press has the story.
John Niyo of the Detroit News pokes fun at the "Drew Stanton crowd," which learned Thursday that Lions offensive coordinator Jim Colletto won't play Stanton because he doesn't want to embarrass him.

About Me
love the life: love myself wherever i'm found and love those I meet each day
We are us.
Trazy - I don't even know what to put in here anymore. I'm 31 years old and trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
I've lived overseas a couple times, traveled quite a bit and have enjoyed learning everything I have. I loved working with NGOs overseas and would do it again when the next opportunity arises.
Life stresses me out too much sometimes. I'm learning to take it easier and live for the moment and treasure them all as they come.
I have some really crazy goals and each step I take is taken with those goals in mind ('eye on the prize, eye on the prize').
I like meeting new people because you never know when a new friendship will be formed or when a new adventure partner will arrive in your life.
I love LOVE.
My profile used to say that I'm incapable of romantic love, but someone has proven that wrong (thankfully).
I'm still, however, focusing all my energy on loving the world above myself.
Eaic -
I am 24 years old. I work at a steel mill in New Jersey, but I'm originally from Southfield (Detroit), Michigan. I'm studying Nutrition and Exercise Science and in my free time, I go the gym as much as possible.
I haven't traveled as much as Trazy, but I have a great interest in the middle eastern and Asian cultures.
I am new to the city and still finding my way around, but I'm happy to be here and join on any adventure.
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life to the fullest so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
We like hosting and when we can break free, traveling makes us reeealllllly happy :)
I'll be completely honest - I am extremely busy during the weekdays. When the weekends hit, sometimes I have a ton of energy, sometimes I just want to chill. Aside from hosting when I can, I have minimal involvement. I love meeting people, though, so it's a constant struggle, you see?
I have had the great opportunity to host more than I've traveled, but I enjoy showing others my city and sharing in the beauty and fun with new people. It makes me have more appreciation for my city as well...
I will forever hold Budapest, Hungary in my heart as the city that introduced me to my love of showing hospitality to others.
Spontaneity is key. Unfortunately, I don't have the financial resources to be as spontaneous as I would like... but if you're here in NYC, I may just join you on the next leg of your journey. I like traveling alone and with groups - it just depends on what the goal is. Be prepared for anything... and any experience WILL be what you make it.
I've lost all three in my past, but I'm slowly recovering and trying to move on... and find them again.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Aushwitz. the thought that the world was (and is still) so messed up that something like this was created and used just blows. my. mind.
I sat in a room with Hungarian mothers once who poured out their hearts and told me they'd be praying for my mother because it would be so hard to have a daughter living so far away. They didn't know me or my mother, but the amount of love they showered upon me was amazing. I'll never forget that feeling.
I like stories that involve me, a random group of people in a random place in the world, and beer. I have a story that begins "So, I was drinking beer in the Ukraine with a bunch of Hungarian gypsies..." and honestly, when was the last time you heard a story like that? The ending isn't as great as the beginning... but really, that's like life in general, eh?
I rented a car and took off one August. I drove from Michigan to the Grand Canyon... and beyond. 10 days of nothing but me, my radio and the road. I ate what I wanted, I slept where I wanted (even in my car trunk one night), and I farted whenever I wanted. I saw the Grand Canyon at sunrise and sat on the edge drinking lemonade. I reconnected with friends and family in Texas and Arizona. It was perfect.

I have been using the Tigi texturing paste for years. When I was unable to find it in Edinburgh "Google pointed me in the direction of Feelunique
Great product
The item arrived quickly and was excellently packaged. Great service as always.
Love this product. It styles brilliantly and is rework able. Matte effect so doesn't show.
Use sparingly, great product
Very good, smells nice too
Have used this for some time now & love the way it volumises, texturises and separates my short wavy hair. No stickiness and smells divine.
As said very good this product suits my hair styling and is used by my hairdresser
A great product to make hair manageable.
I use nothing but this product.
An excellent product and a good price
As always the service is prompt and efficient
Extremely good.
Good quality item, lovely smell but seemed a bit too runny
I have used others but keep coming back to this which my hairdresser recommended
Great texturising paste to add detail to finished style.
I have fine hair and this does not make my hair flat or greasy.
