Product Description
"You can go a long way with a smile. You can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun." -- Al Capone
Throughout the 1920's and 1930's, rival gangsters compete in a life or death struggle for control of the gleaming city on the shores of Lake Michigan. Each district is hotly contested, because in the end there can be only one "King of Chicago"!
You play a mob boss. You compete with your fellow bosses. Through careful placement of your "boys", you control important locations throughout the city. But time is limited! Only three days remain for you to exert influence in the neighborhoods. Use these days wisely, because the gangster with the most influence at the end is proclaimed the boss of bosses!
Beware! Your opponents seek the same raw glory. Take care, because if a gangster is invited down to the river for breakfast, he might not be around for supper!
Gather up your boys, hop in the sedan, and see if you have the skill, the cunning, and the ruthlessness to become Chicago's top Gangster!

Review by: Greg J. Schloesser
NOTE: This review was first published in Knucklebones magazine
Two gangster-themed games were released by major companies during the Spiel in Essen: Chicago Poker by Phalanxand Gangster by Amigo. The booths of both companies were decorated accordingly, and they were quite eye-catching. I didn't have the opportunity to play either during the convention, but did have Gangster explained to me by the good folks at the Mayfair booth. The game appeared to be quite interesting, and my subsequent playings confirmed my expectations.
Set in Chicago during the turbulent early 1930s, Gangster places players in the roles of notorious gangsters vying for control of the various districts of the city. Players motor about the city, dropping off henchmen in various districts in an effort to gain control. But players are gangsters, so they don't always play nice. Opposing gangsters are often crammed into the trunks of the players' vehicles, and often unceremoniously dumped into Lake Michigan. Such are the perils of becoming a crime lord!
The rather busy board depicts eleven districts in Chicago, including the Gold Coast, which is the only district that will not be contested as it juts out into Lake Michigan and is the location for dumping gangsters into the frigid waters. Onto each district is placed a tile whereupon players will place their henchmen. Tiles also list points that will be earned for capturing control of a district, with points being rewarded for majority, secondary, tertiary and sometimes quaternary status. The interesting twist is that sometimes more points are earned for finishing in positions other than first, so players are constantly jostling to secure the desired positions. This subtle difference truly had a dynamic impact upon the game.
Each player receives a mat depicting his gangster and his 1930s vintage automobile, three movement cards – 1, 2 and 3 – and a collection of wooden cubes representing henchmen and his vehicle. Players begin the game with nine henchmen, two of which are placed onto the board in two different districts determined randomly. One randomly determined district receives a "doubling" token, which doubles the scores of that area. The game is ready to begin.
A player's turn is quite simple, as he has only two choices:
1) Move. The player inverts one of his movement cards and moves his auto the matching number of spaces. Movement is from district-to-adjacent district, and any number of vehicles can occupy a particular district. Once a player uses a particular movement card, it is not available again until all three cards have been used.
2) Unload / Load Gangsters. Instead of moving, a player may unload one gangster from his vehicle into the district where his vehicle is located. The gangster is placed into the first unoccupied space on the district tile.
In addition, a player may load one gangster from that district tile into his vehicle. If it is one of his own gangsters, it is placed back into the car, receiving a nice, comfortable seat. If, however, the player decides to kidnap an opponent's gangster, it receives less plush accommodations, as it is stuffed into the cramped trunk of the car. Each gangster's vehicle can hold one opponent's gangster in the trunk. This gangster can be unloaded in another district, but more often the ultimate destination for this hapless henchman is Lake Michigan and a swim with the fish.
It is important to note that a player cannot move his vehicle and load and/or unload gangsters on the same turn. As simple as this rule may sound, it is often overlooked during the game, so care must be exercised to insure that the rule is obeyed.
The only exception to this rule is when a player arrives at the Gold Coast. The player may immediately dump any gangsters from his truck into the lake, thereby freeing up space to kidnap more henchmen. In addition, when arriving at the Gold Coast, the player must take one of the three vehicle upgrades currently available. These upgrades give players greater flexibility, including increased movement, extra trunk space, a large door to unload two gangsters per turn instead of just one, protection from kidnappings in the district where a player's vehicle is located, etc. A player may only possess two upgrades, so acquiring a new upgrade may force the player to eliminate a previously acquired modification.
When any player inverts his third movement card, a card is drawn from the scoring deck. If a district card is revealed, a "doubling" token is placed on the district. If one of the three policemen cards is revealed, nothing happens. In either case, the player turns over all three of his movement cards and once again has all of them available for movement purposes.
When the eighth doubling token is placed onto the board, a "Day of Reckoning" occurs. Each district is assessed and points are marked on the scoring track. If the district has a doubling token present, scores for that district are doubled. Some scoring positions in a district are marked with a "?", and the value of that position is determined by the random draw of a card, which can range in value from 1- 6. Seeking that position can be risky, but can also pay handsome rewards.
Ties for control often occur, and are broken in favor of the player whose henchman was placed last. This small rule does inject further tactics into the game, especially when kidnapping gangsters, as players can remove these henchmen so as to secure desired positions in the scoring hierarchy.
After each scoring round, doubling tokens are removed, players receive an influx of new henchmen, and a new turn is conducted in an identical fashion. Gangsters present on the board and in players' vehicles remain from turn-to-turn. After three turns, the game ends, and control of Chicago goes to the player with the most points.
I have been pleasantly surprised with Gangster. It is a fast, fun, and exciting game that is easy to learn and play. At first glance, some may moan that it is just another area control game. That's true, but the scoring twists and ability to kidnap and relocate or eliminate opposing gangsters gives the game a fresh feel. Competition for control of the districts is fierce, and control can change quickly. There is quite a bit of maneuvering for desired positions, which more often than not results in dastardly kidnappings and a steady stream of visits to Lake Michigan!
A typical game of Gangster plays to completion in less than ninety minutes. Player turns are lightning quick, and downtime is virtually non-existent. Since control of districts can change rapidly, players must be ready to adapt their plans to take advantage of changing situations, or to counteract moves from opposing gangsters intent on muscling-in on one of your districts. There is no resting on one's past achievements, as a successful gangster cannot afford to let his guard down.
Gangster is one of the pleasant surprises from this year's Spiel. It won't be confused as a heavy "gamer's game", but rather finds a nice spot in my collection as a fun, light game that forces players to make continuous choices throughout. It is a game that is easy to teach, and can be played competitively and enjoyed by a wide variety of people, both hobbyists and casual gamers alike. As much as I enjoy the "meatier" games, Gangster is the type of game that will likely be played far more often as it is so easily accessible. I enjoy the game's spirit and atmosphere, and the ability to dump my opponents into Lake Michigan is an added bonus!
Gangster (Mayfair Games, 2007 – Thorsten Gimmler) is a game that I thought would be a pretty good marriage of tried-and-true mechanics (area control) with a fun theme (um, gangsters). In the game, players are driving their limousines around the city, possibly with other player's pieces in the trunk, and attempt to control different areas of Chicago. The art and methods of the game seek to really bring across the theming of this era, and I expected the game to be a winner when I brought it out.
And some folks found the game to be fun, especially when they got into the theming of the game. Sadly, I found the game to be fairly pedestrian, with the theme just barely there. There are a lot of good area control games out there, and this one is just a mediocre entry in the group. The theme is interesting, and it works; but it doesn't have enough draw for me to really get into the game. I think that players who came across this game as their first entry into the realm of games that use area control would enjoy it, but the game went on a little too long and was just a bit boring for me.
Each player takes a player mat of their color, along with three movement cards and nine gangster cubes. The rest of the cubes are placed in a pile near the board, and a scoring marker of each player's color is placed on a track that goes around the board. A pile of upgrade markers is shuffled, and three are placed face up in the Gold Coast harbor space. Fifteen district tiles are shuffled, and ten are placed face up on each of the ten districts on the board. A pile of scoring cards are shuffled as well as a pile of casino cards, and they are placed near the board. Each player uses two draw scoring cards to place a cube of their color, with an automobile of their color placed in the first region drawn. One more scoring card is drawn, and a doubler token is placed in the matching district. The player who has seen The Godfather last goes first, and play continues clockwise.
On a player's turn, they either drive or unload/load gangsters. When driving, the player chooses one of their movement cards and moves their auto that many districts, using connecting roads between the districts. The player then turns the movement card they used face down. When all three cards are face down, the top scoring card is revealed; and the player turns all their movement cards face up. If the scoring card shows a policemen, nothing happens; but if a region is shown, then a doubler token is placed in the shown region.
Each region has eight to sixteen spaces in it for gangster cubes, and a player may load a gangster into the first available spot in the region their car is currently in. The player may also take a gangster from a spot and load it back into their card. In fact, players can load another player's gangster into their "trunk" of the car, which only has room for one. A player may unload the gangster in another spot later on if they wish. If a player is at the Gold Coast, they may empty their truck, killing the gangster there; and then they must take one of the three upgrade markers there, adding them to their car (each player may have two upgrades). The upgrades are:
- Bodyguard – If a player's auto is in a region, other players may not affect their gangsters there.
- Trunk – The player can fit two opponent's gangsters in their trunk.
- Bumper – When moving into a region, the player may "push" an opponent's car out of the region.
- Door – The player can place two gangsters in a district per turn.
- Engine – The player may add one to their movement.
- Tommy Gun – The player may add opponent's gangsters into their trunk from adjacent districts.
After eight doubler tokens have been placed on the board, the "Day of Reckoning" occurs (also known as scoring). Each district shows points that are given to the player with the most, second most, third most, and sometimes fourth most gangsters. The numbers are not necessarily in order – sometimes the player with the most does not get the most points. Occasionally no number is shown, but rather a question mark. The top gangster card is flipped, and its value is equivalent to all question marks on the board. Players score points for each district, with ties going to the person who has placed a piece last. The next round of the game is then started, with all cards reshuffled, and players getting six more gangsters to place (all gangsters on the board stay there). At the beginning of the third round players get five more gangsters. At the end of the scoring of the third round, the game ends, and the player with the most points wins the game (ties give the victory to all players).
Some comments on the game...
- Components: The game has a darker overtone, with drab colors and
artwork that tends to portray the grim reality of the mobsters during
this era. It works, for the most part, and the city itself is very
well done; I actually felt as if I was driving around the city. Each
player has a different color and symbol, making it easy to tell the
difference. I wish that gangster pieces had been included rather than
cubes, adding to the theme; but the cubes do work, and it's easy to
tell at a glance who is winning each district. Everything stores well
into a typical-sized box with more of the grim artwork.
- Rules: The rulebook is five full-colored pages that do a good job
explaining the rules, as well as two pages of theme from Robert Nippoldt, author of the book Gangster – Die Bosse von Chicago.
Everything is very clearly explained, and I found that teaching the
game is easy – if only because it makes sense to drive around and drop
off/pick up gangsters. The scoring is a little unusual, since ties
are broken by the last person to place a cube; and it's also strange
to some players that second or third place might score higher than
first, but it all works out once players go through a game or two.
Reference cards are included that explain the meaning of the upgrade
chips, which are simple enough to grasp almost immediately anyway.
- Upgrades: The upgrades are nice, since they allow players to
customize their gangster to a degree. At the same time, none of them
are extremely powerful, and some of them come in handy only a few
times during the game. Two of them in combo can cause some
interesting strategies – such as the Tommygun and Trunk, allowing
players to snag opponent's gangsters from all over the place. At the
same time, these upgrades don't define the game as much as I would
like, and a player can ignore them and have a good shot at winning.
- Interaction: The aspect of the game that I enjoy the most is the
fact that you can pick up other gangsters and deposit them in other
places, or even kill them off in the bay. Granted, taking them to the
bay and dumping them is usually more work than it is worth (although
it is extremely satisfying), but dropping them off in another region
is very useful – especially if it helps a player gain a different
point total because of the new numbers of gangsters there. In fact,
placing other player's gangsters often is more important than placing
your own, since it's usually pretty obvious what a player is going to do.
5.) Timing: The game has an interesting feel; as there is very little downtime, players simply do one action on their turn, and play passes on. At the same time, the game really feels like it lasts entirely too long; the box says ninety minutes, and I just think that's too long for a game of this type. Move, drop off, move, pick up, move, move, pick up, drop off, etc. The game tends to drop into a monotonous zone that could possibly be resuscitated by players who really get into the theme -- but not over an hour and a half! Perhaps if there were only two rounds in the game, it would be better.
- Fun Factor: Some people are going to be drawn to the game based
on theme alone, as the romantic version of mobsters is entertaining,
especially when based on popular movies. And you can find the theme
here if you try hard enough; but in the end the game is a bit boring,
and I'm not seeing how the theme rescues it. I wanted to enjoy the
game; but near the end I find myself thinking about other things,
hoping that the game ends soon.
- Players: The two player game has each player use two colors,
which makes for an interesting and somewhat quicker game. But I'm
convinced that the three player game may be best, if only because of
the higher interaction and slightly faster game.
There are a few folks who would like Gangster – those who are looking to add an area control game to their collection and think this theme would work. And perhaps it might be a good introductory game for some. I, however, really don't have a place for this game in my collection; while the theme is interesting, it's done better in other games – such as Bootleggers. Gangster is a game that tries to look tough and dresses the part, but in action is fairly unimpressive.

Manila Cardinal Jokes About Newfound Etiquette
MANILA – The new pope wrote you, but you didn't write back. What would Miss Manners advise?
Well, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle explained during a humorous moment Thursday upon his return from Vatican City, he found himself in just that situation.
Manila's archbishop – who was on the media's list of possible popes – said he had received several complimentary notes from Pope Francis back when the Roman Catholic Church's new leader was merely Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio.
"I never answered any of his letters. Now, if he writes me, I will have to write back," said Cardinal Tagle, prompting laughter.
Cardinal Tagle appeared at a nationally televised event at Manila's international airport with his predecessor, the archbishop emeritus of Manila, Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales. Cardinal Rosales said he invited Pope Francis to visit the Philippines, which would be the first time a pope has visited the Southeast Asian country since Pope John Paul II in 1995.
"We have a feeling that he might come," Cardinal Rosales said, possibly in 2016 when the diocese of the central island of Cebu hosts the International Eucharistic Congress.
Cardinal Tagle ducked a request to weigh in on some dioceses asking parishioners not to vote for legislators who supported providing wider access to contraceptives, saying he needed to get up to speed on what he'd missed during his weeks in the Vatican. Asked whether the Supreme Court was right to suspend implementation of what is called the Reproductive Health Law, he said the high tribunal had acted within its rights to review the legislation.
The two jovial cardinals dueled for best quip.
Tagle, who at 55 is still young enough that he could potentially be looked at again for pope, brushed off a question about earlier speculation in the news media and on the Internet that he might get the church's top job.
"It is a product of speculation of different sectors, especially social media. I'm just very happy that they are not the electors," Cardinal Tagle said, adding, "It was clear to me that that the task of the cardinals is to elect a new pope and not to have yourself be elected pope."
Cardinal Rosales, who is older than 80 and therefore couldn't vote for the pope, chimed in, "The joke in Rome is that Pope Francis was elected because the Holy Spirit didn't read social media … or watch CNN."
Cardinal Tagle recounted a story of Pope Francis reaching out to him shortly after his election. The pope came up to the table that the Manila archbishop shared with other cardinals and told him that a Filipino priest serving in the nunciature in Argentina wanted him to deliver his good wishes to the Manila archbishop.
Cardinal Tagle said Pope Francis told him, "I delivered his greetings. I obeyed (the Filipino priest)."
While many in the Philippines had hoped Cardinal Tagle would be the new pope, Marilyn Cadasio, a 41-year-old parking attendant at the Imus Cathedral where Cardinal Tagle once served, was happy with the result.
"He always waves his hands to greet me, always smiling," she said. "I don't wish him to be pope. That would mean he won 't be saying mass here at the cathedral."

Day of Remembrance brought to city leaders
Pictures of smiling teens who will never grow older—Shavaughn Kierra White, 18 when killed in 2009, Jayla Shanee Brown 19 when killed in 2007—they were just two of the faces on posters stretching the block-long lobby of the City County Building. Even as passersby saw the displays and read the adoring biographies, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers of young Black men and women lost to gun violence, told their stories to Pittsburgh City Council. This day, April 26, they would be more than statistics. This was a Day of Remembrance. BE AT PEACE—Following a full day of hearings on gun violence before city council, the Day of Remembrance ends with the release of doves from the steps of the City County Building. (Photo by J.L. Martello) Reverend Maxine Blackwell Walker made sure council members would remember her son Sherwood, dead almost two years to the day. "He left behind a little girl, two brothers. He was going to propose to his girl on Mothers Day. Instead, I spent it at his wake," she told them.

Galaxy Water Cooled GeForce GTX 680 GPU Exposed
A well known graphics card manufacturer known by the name of 'GALAXY' has had it's team in touch with enthusiast water cooling overclocker expert 'Water God' for testing it's upcoming water cooled variant of Nvidia's recently launched Kepler based GTX 680 GPU and it's image has surfaced on a popular micro blogging site in China.
For those of you familiar with the GTX 680 graphics card, this is not a reference card from any angle, notably the card lacks DVI ports with the 6 and 8 pin connectors now in parallel instead of being on top of one another. Also, the biggest change with this variant is it's a single full slot graphics card!
No more details have been given on the card as of yet only the image above. However, the reference GTX 680 ships with two DVI ports, one mini HDMI, and two mini DisplayPort connectors. This card is expected to have higher clocks and probably a better and reinforced PWM design and chokes for extreme overclocking under water cooled setups.
Galaxy has also a previous history of churning out high end single slot graphics cards without compromising on performance. So one can expect some serious power with this edition as well!

Finance Glossary
Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.
Over 700 finance terms, Shmooped to perfection.
Average Cost Basis
It's a tax issue. The IRS is really interested in how many gains or losses you make on your mutual funds because they want to be sure to tax you on your gains. The average cost basis is one way to arrive at an answer. Basically, you tally up everything and divide by the number of shares to get the number.
You liked AT&T at $40 a share. You bought 500 shares. You liked it even more at $35 a share and bought 1,000 shares. You loved it at $30 a share and bought 2,000 shares. You adored it at $25 a share and bought 5,000 shares. Your average cost basis is $28.24 (forget commissions). The stock then went to $50 and you sold half or 4,250 shares. How much gain was there? Well, you take the average cost in for half of your shares, and you match it with the average cost out. In this case, you are realizing gains per share of $50 – $28.24 or $21.76 x 4,250 shares or $92,480.

I'm a big fan of Christmas. If I could find one of those Number One fingers and write "FOR CHRISTMAS," on it, I would. THAT is how much I love Christmas.
Sure, it's going to be weird this year. Got some familial drama that I cannot (apparently) speak of here, that's got me a wee bit nervous, but I push on through.
I still get all misty-eyed when I see decorations up, and there's frankly nothing like a good version of "Blue Christmas" to get me solidly in the mood for some festive motherfucking cheer.
You think I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not.
I'm old now. I may get tearful whenever my Christmas tree is turned on (bear in mind it's been up since LAST Christmas, which reminds me of that awful Wham! song, which is NOT something that makes Baby Jesus OR Your Aunt Becky smile), and I may wrap each present happily, open each Christmas card guiltily, but you know what?
I can never think of anything I want for Christmas.
Now I know what you're saying, "Aunt Becky, Christmas – and Trix – are for kids. You don't need any presents."
And, o! Pranksters, my Pranksters, you would, indeed be correct. It's a lean Christmas here at Casa de la Vodka, but the kids, well, they still have a butt-ton of small gifts to open. According to The Twitter, whom I trust implicitly, kids under ten prefer a fuck-ton of small things rather than one big present. So I have a ridiculous amount of tiny PlayDoh things to wrap.
When I'm asked, "Hey, what do you want for Christmas?" my mind goes blank. Don't mistake me, I'm not one of those people who are all *waves hands dismissively* "Oh, give my gift to charity," because, well, I like presents. A lot.
Problem is, I never know what the fuckballs I want. When asked, that is. It's like my mind, normally filled with pictures of ponies and/or unicorns on roller skates, immediately empties and I'm stuck muttering the first few things that come out:
"Barbie Dream House."
"Ball pit."
"Shark pit."
"Shark on Roller Skates."
And the asker is left quizzically scratching his or her befuddled head, wondering if I have, at last, gone off my rocker.
Since I already HAVE a pony on Roller Skates:
I no longer need one.
Nor do I need anything else that I can think of on command. I tried, the other day, to create an Amazon wish-list. All the cool bloggers are doing it, so I figured THAT would be a great place to point family members to buy gifts for me.
I have two things on it.
Apparently, I suck at life AND picking out gifts for myself.
But this morning, the heavens opened up and smiled down upon me. A good friend, who shall remain nameless because, well, I do not have a proper email address or name to thank this wonderful friend, sent me something. Something so incredible that I may never stop weeping with joy.
Something I want, nay NEED, for Christmas.
Behold, my Pranksters, and share in my joy.
If you think the 3-Wolf Moon PJ's aren't awesome enough, just read the description:
Pranksters! I can take a SHIT while wearing these glorious rags! These PJ's come with a SHIT DOOR!
Frankly, I do not think that, once I own these, I will ever, EVER need to own another item of clothing in my life.
So WHAT if I find adult footie pajamas to be creepy? So what if I cannot imagine sleeping with cuffs around my feet again? I CAN TAKE A SHIT WHILE WEARING THEM.
And *shakes fist at sky dramatically* they WILL BE MINE.

Ewww…but your feet will sweat while wearing them!
I think this should be the golden standard when shopping for Christmas gifts.
"Did it pass the shit test?"
It would make gift cards obsolete!
And it's cooler than an "I'm With The Band" snuggie (though not by a lot)…
Holy crap! When I sent you that link I thought you'd get a kick out of it. I didn't think you'd make a post out of it!
Beware of the suprise butt sex attacks that could happen if that flap is a little loosey goosey
OMG! I just spit my drink all over my computer! This was AMAZING!
I was absolutely loving this post more than anything until I read Shannon's comment: they make your feet sweat…!!! That's a fucking riot! They have a shit door, but they're icky because YOUR FEET SWEAT!!!???!!! Shannon, you're too, too funny! I love it!
And I can really relate to not being permitted to discuss bullshit family drama on your own blog. Very fucked up and, though I, too, comply with the edicts of those above me, I have to wonder if it isn't a better idea to just lay the fuckers out and set a new heirarchy. And I wonder about this often.
Merry Christmas and Happy Family Bullshit!
I couldn't help it – I peeked at my Amazon wishlist to see what hubby ordered me. What can I say? I'm dishonest. I have a pair of Emo Skull footie jams coming from Pajama City. Woohoo! I couldn't be more excited! But then, I hadn't really thought about the possiblity of surprise butt-sex attacks before now..
as horrific as adult onesies are, this is epically full of the awesome!
What, no hood?
I just laughed hysterically at this. In a quiet office. Oh, AB, my favoritest auntie, I love thee. You should tell everyone that's what you want for Christmas. That way you'll have a bunch of them. 😀
HAHA my mom just got me and my sister matching blue ones for Hanukkah! I mocked the commercials but when I put it on it was like a warm hug … plus unzipping the butt flap on my sister's while walking behind her was priceless!
Yikes!!! The actual fall away bottom cause going to the bathroom is somehow already to time consuming!!!!! Ya that makes about sense. Now putting it on my christmas list. Thanks for the tip from me…. but probably not my girlfriend!
Seriously all I can picture is the drop seat flap hanging into the poo water.
I am honored that the picture I sent you made it into your blog, AB.
Funny…..we must have BOTH sent her the link this morning.
I love footie pjs. Mainly because I am lazy and can never find socks. It's super hard to find the ones with the butt-flap which is a MUST because otherwise you have to undress your top half to pee OR shit and your boobs get super cold.
Yes! And if I'm wearing pjs at all, wouldn't I want socks, too? If my feet are sweating, the rest of me would be possitively Roasting and I'd be in shorts, anyway.
I want some with monkeys on them!
And yes, what ABOUT a hood?
Those are the bomb…and you can drop one. But I do enjoy Annoying orange on the pony as a second option. It's his lips, they are uh wierd but very funny
You and your family have a motherfucking fantastic Christmas!
Hhahaha. Not sure I get the appeal of footie pjs (i do think sweaty feet would be an issue….) but I hope you get em!
i wonder if you can still return them before the 90 days if you use the drop seat back when nature calls. Think about it.
i LOVE that all these comments are somehow related to the dropseat. Possibly the best part of those pjs. !
I want a pair.
I also have nothing to ask for. I go for 'housewife things' such as kitchen essentials etc. Eck.
Gift cards and wine are just about at the top of my list… but apparently no one wants to buy those things.. Come on people.. Mothers Need their drinks.. am I right?
Seriously, do what I do. Amazon isn't great for this, I just send an email with a list of links:
Etsy! It's awesome! I type in my fave thing (monkies, ginkgo leaves, etc…) and up comes all sorts of items! Jewelry, clothing, accessories, home decor, etc… it's such a good way to find stuff you'll love. And the prices range from super cheap to super pricey, so it'll fit anyone's budget!
These are awesome! And I for one see nothing wrong with footie pajamas. Have you ever even tried them on? They are so comfortable! I had my hubby buy me some cookie monster ones for Christmas. No lie. There's no waist to dig into my waist! Awesome. No back flap though. I should have held out for that. Oh well. 🙂
Ok, so they're not 3 wolf moon patterned but these are like footie pjs without the feet (including the shit door).
I too love the Christmas. I however can always think of an excess amount of things that I want like: One Ryan Gosling, two sets of pink numchucks, three pounds of bacon, four seasons of Breaking Bad, five million dollars, six diamond rings, seven maids a cleaning, eight cooks a cooking, nine stylists a styling, ten magic weight loss pills, eleven job offers, and twelve masseuses a rubbing.
Now, that would be a good Christmas.
I have the exact same problem every year. So, next year I'm going to make a WANT tag for my eljay (because I'm still too cool to leave it). When I see something completely awesome (like this: http://nerdybaby.net/ohCOOL/catbook.htm ) I will file it there.
I actually asked (well…begged is more like it) for these for Christmas and DIDN'T GET THEM! Guess who's shopping for herself next year?!!

Paul proclaims 'freedom movement' owns today's youth
Republican provocateur Ron Paul delivered a stirring, if rambling, message to his admirers Thursday that ranged from lofty assessments of historic ideological tides to such mundane matters as government's interfering with your right to drink big, sugary beverages — or raw milk, for that matter.
Paul, the Lake Jackson congressman who was the last GOP presidential hopeful to bow to Mitt Romney's inevitability this year, spoke for 50 minutes at the state Republican convention in Fort Worth. When he began, the convention hall's arena floor was just half-full. But as Paul spoke, listeners drifted in steadily, nearly filling the floor. There were hundreds more up in the stands.
"If you understand the freedom philosophy, you understand why there will be more peace, there will be more prosperity, there will be more tolerance," Paul said. According to the official program, he led a breakout session about uniting Republicans and balancing the federal budget. However, he spoke more about foreign policy, unlimited war-making by recent American presidents and infringements on citizens' rights under the war on terror than he did about party matters or federal spending. Occasionally, he would catch himself and ask what sort of unity is desirable. The freedom agenda, he said. "That is the message that brings us together."
Paul quickly warned, though: "If you bring people together for the wrong ideas, what good is it? You have to bring people together for the right ideas. And if I'm reading the future correctly, especially among the next generation, believe me, they're studying. They're reading. They know the free-market economists. They understand the principles. They know this system isn't working. They're sick and tired of the wars. They want their personal liberties. And they'd like to have a job. So I'm optimistic."
One of his many applause lines came when he knocked New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposal last week, as part of an anti-obesity campaign, to ban sales of large servings of soda and other sugary drinks in the Big Apple's restaurants, delis and movie theaters.
"In a free society, you will always be able to buy a BIG drink with a lot of sugar in it," Paul said to applause. "In a free society, you will always be able to buy and drink raw milk if you'd like to," he added, to even stronger applause and cheers.
Public health officials and the Texas Medical Association are very concerned about sales of raw milk as a danger to consumers.

Health Blog Obit: Martin Abeloff, Hopkins Oncologist
Martin D. Abeloff, a breast cancer specialist credited with building Johns Hopkins's cancer center into a clinical and research powerhouse, died of leukemia today. He was 65.
Abeloff spent the past 15 years running Hopkins's Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, doubling its faculty and increasing its research funding sixfold, the university said today.
He was given much of the credit for landing a $150 million donation from Sidney Kimmel, the largest in the university's history. During his long career, he served in all sorts of high-powered roles in the cancer community–from chairman of the expert panel on cancer drugs that advises FDA to president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. But among the tributes published earlier this year when he stepped down as head of the Kimmel center, perhaps the most telling was one from a patient who first met Abeloff years ago, when she and her husband walked into his office frightened by her recent diagnosis of breast cancer.
Within just an hour and a half our fears were calmed. . . . As we got ready to leave, he handed me a small piece of paper with his name and phone number on it. He joked that he did not have any business cards, and said if you have any questions or concerns please call me. If you look in my wallet today, 17 years later, you will find that small piece of paper is still there.

Picasso and Scorsese, Together at Last
Martin Scorsese is a serious film historian, so when he told Arne Glimcher, the director of "Picasso and Braque Go To The Movies," that "I learned a lot about cinema from this film," it indicated just how deeply Glimcher had probed the forgotten treasures of early 20th century filmmaking.
The New York premiere of "Picasso and Braque Go To The Movies" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art this week was followed by a discussion with Glimcher and moderator David Schwartz, the chief curator of the Museum of the Moving Image. "Picasso and Braque Go To The Movies" opens today in limited release.
Scorsese narrated, produced and appears in the Arthouse film, which features renowned artists Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, Julian Schnabel, Lucas Samaras, Coosje Van Bruggen and Robert Whitman, along with art and film historians who discuss the impact of early films on the paintings of Cubist artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
The film is a jewel box of rare clips from 125 films from 1902-1914, providing glimpses of Parisian café life, including those of Auguste and Louis Lumière and the phantasmagorical Georges Méliès (who was previously a stage magician at Theatre Robert-Houdin).
The documentary parallels the ever-shifting faceted perspectives of Cubism and the dynamic camera angles of film. Glimcher describes Cubism as allowing "multiple views of the same images simultaneously" and Scorsese calls it "a radical change in structure and vision itself."
With the 1900 world's fair, Exposition Universelle, turn-of-the century Paris was a heady time in which anything seemed possible. Despite Braque being introverted and Picasso surrounded by a coterie of artists and poets, the two close friends, who met in 1907, are described as "two mountain climbers held together by one rope" – scaling the slopes of High Art to challenge restrictions, even as the new art form of cinema broke similar ground, rendering vaudeville, carnival and dancehall obsolete. The painters loved slapstick, Chaplin and were similarly enraptured with the fledgling technology of aviation, nicknaming each other "Orville" and "Wilbur."
Glimcher, the highly influential founder of the Pace Gallery, originated the film as an extension of the 2007 PaceWildenstein Gallery exhibit "Picasso, Braque and Early Film in Cubism," which he said resulted in "years of research, both in Paris and at Eastman Kodak and the Library of Congress."
We spoke with Glimcher on his way to the afterparty at 6 Columbus. "I had been carrying the idea around for 25 years," he said. "Looking at Picasso's work and trying to understand the incredible distortion, I saw that it was cinematic. I went backward from there, looking at his early work and early cinema and what was happening at the same time."
When we asked Glimcher about what new trends interest him in our time, he smiled and said, "the new frontier of art in China is very exciting to me."

SEBRING - Sebring overcame 27 turnovers and a cold-shooting night to beat DeSoto by a score of 67-60 in the foul-plagued district opener for both teams on Tuesday night.
The Class 5A-District 11 loss dropped the Bulldogs to 0-2 overall and 0-1 in district play, while the win improved the Blue Streaks to 2-1, 1-0.
"We faced some adversity and our guys responded with a win," said Sebring boys basketball coach Princeton Harris. "It's good to get that first district win and I saw some good things, but I saw some negative things that we have to work on.
"It's still early and we're going to get better."
Both teams struggled shooting the ball to open the game and Sebring took an early lead as Keizhan Hester scored six of his team-high 24 points on a pair of 3-pointers from the left baseline.
Rolando Powell chipped in with four points to give the Blue Streaks a 13-6 lead heading into the second quarter.
Sebring found the range from outside as sophomore guard Connor Cook drilled back-to-back 3-pointers and Hester added another from the right wing to give the Blue Streaks a double-digit lead midway through the period.
DeSoto answered with a run of its own fueled by the play of Kari Williams who scored 10 of his game-high 29 points to pull the Bulldogs within 32-23 at the half.
Sebring went ice cold from the floor to open the third quarter and DeSoto's full-court press forced several Blue Streak turnovers which were converted into easy baskets as the Bulldogs pulled within 39-38 with 3:19 remaining in the period.
The game was tightly called by the officials and the fouls began to add up for both teams as starters went to the bench.
Sebring made a number of its free throws to take a 47-42 lead into the final eight minutes.
"We turned the ball over 15 times in the first half and 12 in the second half," Harris said. "We have to get that corrected if we want to become a good basketball team."
The Blue Streaks built a 12-point lead midway through the quarter as senior forward Gary Demarest scored six of his 12 points and Cook added six of his 12.
DeSoto refused to fold and made a late run as Williams hit a pair of 3-pointers and Tony Lee scored four of his 10 points to pull the Bulldogs within six points.
Sebring, which had four players foul out, answered as Hester nailed a clutch 3-pointer and Demarest powered his way to a basket in the paint to regain control of the contest.
DeSoto missed a number of free throws and Sebring ran time off the clock on each possession to seal the hard-fought victory.
"We lost four players to fouls and we still managed to win," said Harris. "That shows we have some depth and we need to keep developing that.
"We got the win but we have plenty of room for improvement."
Sebring is back in action on Friday night with a district home game against Lemon Bay.
"Lemon Bay has a good team and it's a district home game," said Harris. "We're going to work on getting better and we need to be ready to play Friday night."

Part 1 of 3: Why a Plastic Surgeon?
Every so often, a patient walks into my office, referred by her dermatologist for a new skin lesion after I have previously removed one to her satisfaction, and I discover the patient has, in the interim, gone to see someone else for a cosmetic surgery procedure. Curious (and, I will freely admit, somewhat disappointed), I usually ask the patient who did the work and why they went there. Too often I am told, "I did not know you did that kind of work." This always begs the question, if the patient doesn't know her plastic surgeon is skilled and trained in cosmetic surgery, who does she think is?
There has been a cottage industry of other practitioners, some of whom have no formal residency education in surgery whatsoever, who have jumped on the aesthetic bandwagon in the last few years. This is become especially rampant in the current challenging economy.
The reality, of course, is that aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery is an established sub-discipline of plastic surgery. All plastic surgeons who train in accredited plastic and reconstructive surgery residencies are comprehensively trained in cosmetic surgery. Many plastic surgeons, in fact, choose to immediately sub-specialize in cosmetic surgery right out of residency. While many other medical disciplines have practitioners who promote themselves as aesthetic specialists, it is important to emphasize that the specialty which trains surgeons in all facets of cosmetic surgery is plastic surgery alone. Sometimes a patient will tell me that they had a procedure from a non-plastic surgeon who took a course in liposuction. I tell them, I also took a course in liposuction: it was called surgical residency, and it took 7 years. Ad hoc or limited training with weekend courses or special symposia, while potentially complementing existing training in plastic surgery, is no substitute for the rigorous experience of a comprehensive residency program that includes both complex reconstructive procedures and cosmetic surgery training.
One of the things that makes plastic surgery unique is that we operate all over the body, on children and adults of both genders. A prerequisite to understanding how to perform cosmetic surgery is an exquisite knowledge of human anatomy. I can think of no other specialty that demands such rigorous knowledge of the body's entire blood supply, nerve distribution, muscle function and layout, and functional implications of procedures, the way plastic surgery does. Our specialty requires, by its very nature, extreme adaptability, creativity, and problem solving ability as we are faced with both complex reconstructive challenges and the demands of patients who can look at their results and judge them by the externally visible outcome. When your general surgeon removes your gallbladder, the only thing you see are the scars, since most of the work was internal. In the case of plastic surgery, the results are usually detectable on the exterior, and guiding a patient to a satisfactory outcome requires skills in wound management, scar minimization, and, dare I say it, psychology. These are even more paramount issues when we are talking about cosmetic procedures, for which patients have often paid considerable fees, and they rightfully want a good-looking outcome.
In part 2 of my series, I will explore why merely wearing a white coat does not mean a practitioner has the experience necessary to perform plastic surgery.
Filed Under | Patient Safety
Truly insightful reading for anyone. As a long time plastic surgery patient, I have noted several new "cosmetic practitioners " (not ASPS board-certified) opening up in the space coast area of Florida. This article touched on this reason and I can only hope people seeking cosmetic work do their research.

I have a few posts that even from a year ago, are still receiving massive hits, and because of this, show up both in the daily view and weekly view.
Is there a way to make it so the daily view only looks at posts published within the last 24 hours, or last 48 hours?
And same thing with the weekly view, is it possible to make it so it only looks at top weekly views in posts published within the last week?
Love the plugin regardless, I can already tell it's going to immensely benefit my site.

As pointed out by Schlomi Noach on my last blog, MySAR was already taken by a project related to Squid reports with MySQL. I decided then to look for a new name, and as I posted initially, I want to keep the sar prefix to describe the script's purpose by association with the OS utility of the same name. I brainstormed many names. I liked Dave Edwards's suggestion: SARkila, but it sounds too close to tequila, so I settled with Sheeri Cabral's suggestion: sar-sql.

I know that finances get tight, especially when you're paying tuition and rent on a cashier's salary, but I'm positive you could have found somebody with at least a slim grasp on reality. Fox may not mean to cause trouble, but it's bound to happen around him; he destroys causality, changes girls to more compatible species for quick dates, screws around with you and your things because he doesn't understand privacy or respect... how did you wind up sharing a house with somebody who's such a loose cannon?
PS: please don't mention this letter to Fox. I wouldn't want to agitate somebody with a hair trigger and laser weaponry.
(And this, forum-goers, is how you make sure you hear both sides of a story. )

It's all just a ploy to disguise her true purpose from those with more sense; to re-conquer the planet Earth!
This way, if Fox DOES find out, nobody would believe him; where as anyone else might be taken seriously.

It probably consists of a table with a computer on it. Her major is, after all, Computer Science...
Of course, Rae is probably just letting us throw out various theories for her until she gets one she likes, and then she'll make THAT into a comic.

I think it is pretty clear. She wants to be around lifeforms of higher intelligence, and all of us have a poor idea of what higher intelligence looks like. What does it take to create time machines? What does it take to create a weapon that can instantly change one's enemies or dating interest at a biological level? We lesser beings think of higher intelligences as being rational despite having so much evidence in this comic indicating otherwise! If anything, a rational person like Jalyss just gets in the way! So, she was kicked off the ship and Fox was the closest analogue she could find. Kind of a sad tale. No wonder her comics tend to be rants.

Maybe Jalyss actually experiments on Fox when he's asleep. Sorta like Stein and Spirit from Soul Eater XD
When Jalyss came to Earth, she didn't predict the completely different societyy that had emerged, and so would've been considered money-less by our standards. After somehow managing to get into a rural neighbourhood, she knocks on Fox door and asks to stay the night. Fox accepts, accidently tells her some crazy theory of relativety being affected by Gravity and the shape of a macaroni, and Jalyss figures it would be the best place to stay.
If that made sense, I need more sugar.

Orientation features prominent jurists
Students start law school "at the top"
(Boston, Revised-10/16/12) New England Law | Boston: They may not yet know how to manipulate the law school's modern technology or fully access the library's extensive holdings, but by the end of their second day incoming students networked with two of the region's most prominent jurists. New England Law | Boston orientation highlights included a welcome to the legal profession by Hon. Robert J. Cordy, associate justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and a keynote address by Hon. Mark L. Wolf, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
(Chief Judge Wolf announced on October 16, 2012, that he will be retiring from full-time status in 2013.)
Both jurists are members of the law school's adjunct faculty; Justice Cordy will teach Advanced Criminal Procedure this year, and Chief Judge Wolf will teach The Federal Judge. New England Law's adjunct professors are drawn from a pool of outstanding law practitioners, including 17 judges.
"Our Introduction to the Study of Law program provides students with a comprehensive foundation to begin their studies" says Professor Davalene Cooper, who chairs the Orientation Committee. "Throughout their time here we prepare students to take their place in the legal system, and it's very empowering for students to hear from leading judges about how they can contribute while still in law school and about the challenges that await them when they pass the bar."
Orientation was scheduled for Tuesday-Wednesday, August 14-15, for Day Division students; and Monday-Thursday, August 13-16, for the Evening Division. Students learned how to brief a case and met faculty members, received valuable information on study skills, and got their first assignments, among other activities.
Dean John F. O'Brien and Associate Dean Judith G. Greenberg provided further welcomes and pointers on the professional setting that students are entering, and current students, including members of the Student Bar Association, highlighted the many opportunities at New England Law, including clubs, special interest groups, and legal societies.

The Man in the Iron Mask
by Alexandre Dumas
The Man in the Iron Mask Chapter Forty-Two: Belle-Isle-en-Mer Summary
- We return to Belle-Isle where Aramis and Porthos are walking around the island, and discussing the curious disappearance of all the fishing boats.
- Much to Aramis's chagrin, Porthos reveals that he sent the only two remaining fishing boats out to look for the others.
- Porthos confesses that he is unhappy at Belle-Isle and would much rather be in France.
- Aramis tells Porthos that they could have left had he not sent out the two remaining fishing boats.
- Porthos then asks about the orders Aramis has been issuing, which are to hold Belle-Isle against the usurper of the throne.
- Porthos tells Aramis to sit down on a rock and explain the full story to him.
- Aramis has told Porthos that they are to hold Belle-Isle against a false king who wants to sell the island to the British. Porthos asks why no other reinforcements have arrived
- Suddenly a whole fleet of boats appears on the horizon, coming from the direction of the Loire. They are clearly flying a royal flag. These are boats from the King.
- Aramis asks Porthos to sound the alarm preparing the island for battle.
- Porthos is confused, but does it anyway.
- Aramis effectively tells Porthos that the fleet belongs to the false king of France. Porthos believes himself to be enlightened.
- At night a man lands on the island, asking to see Aramis. He is the captain of one of the two fishing vessels that Porthos had earlier sent out in search of its lost companions.
- The captain tells Porthos and Aramis that all the fishing vessels have been captured by the royal fleet, which has set up a blockade around the island. The fleet is under the command of D'Artagnan, who is sending them a letter through this captain.
- The letter reads like this: the King ordered me to take Belle-Isle and capture all of its inhabitants.
- Aramis turns pale. This is clearly not good news.
- D'Artagnan requests that Porthos and Aramis come over for a visit. Porthos is all set to go, but Aramis warns that it may be a trap. He asks the fishing captain to tell D'Artagnan to come to the island instead.
- Porthos is confused. Aramis finally relents and promises to explain.

It's the man that makes the name, not the other way round. Call your kid Rock Fistgranite and he'll grow up beaten, balletic, and resenting you for both. If you really want to toughen someone up, call him Susan Judas Tougherthanyou. He won't even be able to get through a job interview without fending off a horde of attackers.
Remove the books and movies and "James Bond" sounds like the dependable white-collar worker in an office romance novel, a normal name with suggestions of long term relationships. He redefined "bond" from "binding things together" to "exploding them while impaling them on sharks."
Jackie Chan doesn't even bother with pretend names when he's acting, and no-one has ever referred to Bruce Lee as Tang Lung, Chen Zhen, or any of the other Asian John Smiths he was laden with while punching everyone else in the cast through every piece of the set.
But some men have been gifted with names every bit as kickass as they are. And they did it for real. Because we wouldn't believe them if they were movies.
Max Venturi
Max Venturi is paid to defeat Lamborghinis by driving them too awesomely, and he's not imaginary. Despite that being my exact childhood fantasy. He really is Lamborghini's chief test driver, and he really is called Max Venturi. So you know that when he started driving dangerous machines entirely too fast for a living his parents weren't scared, they fist-pumped and shouted "Yes! It worked!"
His name is physically perfect. The Venturi Effect is the reduction in pressure caused when fluid flows through a narrow section of pipe and is forced to speed up. So he's named after going faster with no pressure: you'd swear his name was trying to be a pair of sunglasses on his face as he speeds into and then over the horizon.
Even more perfectly, the Venturi effect is how carburetors work, sucking gasoline into the accelerated and depressurized airstream, creating the fuel/air mixture that turns into explosions and velocity. The last person to be named so perfectly for Lamborghinis founded the company. Who else can say if he destroys a one-of-a-kind Lambo at work, he's done his job correctly?
Powers Boothe
A Powers Boothe sounds like something you'd use to give fictional characters powers beyond the range of normal men, and that's exactly what Powers Boothe does. As a professional actor he plays all kinds of character, but as Bearer of Bemoustachioedness his specialty is infusing them with a complete lack of ability to take $#!+.
That's the kind of moustache that has its own pickup truck. And the back is full of defeated belt sanders, rendered down to the smoothness they tried to inflict on their hirsute master. When they need someone to kill their way through the old west, it's Powers Boothe they call, possibly because all the TV shows are disguised training before sending him back through time to tame the Old West personally.
He also voiced Gorilla Grodd in DC cartoons–a role which, despite being a hyperintelligent super-strong entirely fur-covered mega-ape, actually leaves his character with less intimidating body hair than the actor.
His facial hair is an acting switch for the rest of the world. If he turns up clean shaven, it's because he's there to lend some – but not all – of his strength to some silly little supporting role like "Vice President of the United States of America." But if he's bemustachioed, many people are going to end up dead. And many more will wish they'd escaped so mercifully.
Stirling Mortlock
Stirling Mortlock has scored over a thousand points in Super Rugby, which makes him sound even more like an imaginary friend a kid would invent to beat up Darth Maul. Super Rugby is just southern hemisphere rugby, but in this context those are synonymous. If Roald Amundsen had just dug underneath the pole, he'd have found a golden rugby ball with "One oval to rule them all" engraved in mystic runes and also bite marks. Rugby is to American football what baseball bats are to Nerf bats: the real idea, without all the padding or whining children screaming for timeouts because they've been hurt.
Rugby doesn't favor fridge-sized freaks who need advanced medical attention to stand up for longer than ninety minutes. Rugby beats the human body into shape, so that it's the same size as a regular human but the approximate density and lethality of Terminator metal. Thousands of collisions and endless sprinting apply the principles of natural selection to individual muscle fibers.
He doesn't look gigantic, he just looks exasperated at how much he's going to have to kick your ass. The fact he will is not in doubt, just as he doesn't doubt that gravity will keep you on the ground once he puts you there. Those are simply fundamental facts of this universe. Oh, and in the above picture he's not looking at you, he's looking at Thor, and wondering how's he's going to mount the confiscated hammer.
All this with a name so ridiculously tough it makes "Stacker Pentecost" sound like John Smith after inhaling helium. That's the sort of name you get when Conan the Barbarian invades your christening, and is impressed by how your infant self is the only survivor. The Stirling Mortlock sounds like a submission hold you'd use on the Grim Reaper. And Stirling Mortlock looks like a man who could do it.

Running around doing the school and/or nursery run is n mean feat for most mums. But when you work and have to catch a certain train, or do early morning meetings, or face a hefty fine from your childcare provider if you are a millisecond late ? again ? for picking up your child, all the military precision juggling can take its toll.
Going solo
And for many mums who choose to go back to work after their maternity leave, this amount of stress is a common reason why they decide to resign. Who wants to be the one who is always in a rush, never having time for themselves, and always snapping at people because you?re so tired, anyway? Let?s not even get onto the point on employers who have no regard for flexible working?that?s another story altogether.
One way out of this type of rut for many mums is to set up a business. You only need to look at our Inspirational mums to see that many are making a real success of their businesses, enjoying it, and getting back some control of their lives.
Another way
But we?re not all brave enough, or in a financial situation, to quit the rat race and set up a business. And not all of us want the full-time hours, even if it means being the boss. But there is another way: set up a part-time business.
Yes, it is possible, and many business models like public relations, virtual assistants and teaching enable you to decide what hours you operate your business.
Melissa Talago, 35 is married and has two sons ? Josh, four, and Jamie who is two-and-a-half. She runs Peekaboo Communications.
?Who looks after your children while you work ? a very complicated arrangement! Mondays and Fridays they both go to a nursery all day.
?Tuesdays and Thursdays they both go to a local village preschool which runs from 9.15am to 2.45pm. As Jamie is only two-and-a-half, he leaves at 12pm and goes to a childminder until the later pre-school session finishes, at which point I pick both up!
?I run Peekaboo Communications, a PR and marketing consultancy for the parenting sector. Most of my clients are mothers who run home-based businesses with products or services that are in same way related to babies, children or pregnancy. I set it up as something to do part time so that I could also spend time with my two sons. I work two full days a week and two half days.
?The rest of the time I spend with my children. That said, I do work quite a few nights to catch up on work. And although I might not be working full time, my brain doesn?t shut down just because it?s the end of my official working day. Finding the off button can be difficult!
?It?s not easy to run a business part time – certainly in this line of work. If a journalist needs something and the deadline is today, you need to respond immediately. So oftentimes, even though I?m with my boys, I have my Palm Pilot with me to check for things that need to be dealt with urgently. I?ve taken calls from national newspapers and TV stations with children yelling in the background, which can be incredibly hard. The upside is that most journalists covering this sector are parents, too, so they understand what it?s like.
"I definitely have more than enough work to operate full time, so my solution has been to work with freelancers who I can outsource work to. Most of them are mothers too and want to work reduced hours so that they can spend time with their children. So it?s a situation that works for all of us. I think most mothers who run their own businesses will get to a point where their success means they have to grow – either by putting in more hours themselves or by taking the plunge and hiring staff or outsourcing.?
Where do you start?
- Do your research before you start ? find out if there is a need for the service you want to provide, see who your competitors are and see how you can improve on the service they provide.
- Set up a separate workspace, preferably in its own room, that's used for business only. This will help make the transition from home to work a bit easier and will focus your mind during the day. It might be worth getting a second phone line installed so that your family ? kids in particular ? don?t pick up your business calls.
- Should you tell your boss? If you?re still working for an employer while you ?test the market?, make sure your contract does not have any restrictions on the business you are setting up. If your contract does not stipulate this, and you are unsure whether to tell your boss, you?ll need to think about what the implications are. For instance, will he or she turn it on you when you don?t meet targets at work and assume that it?s because you are using work time to do your business? Weigh up the pros and cons.
- Experts advise that you have at least six months' worth of income as a back-up before you leave your job ? that?s why starting the business part-time is a good idea, because you will be able to build it up gradually, and resign when you can see that the business can meet your needs.
Carine?s story
Carine Pouypoudat, mumpreneur of {{post id="carine-pouypoudat-mumpreneur-of-wwwmadeinwatercouk" text="Made in Water" target="_self"}} a natural birth and organic shop tells her story.
"I decided to start my own business when I was pregnant with my fourth child. I eeded to have more flexibility in term of hours and also to enjoy what I as doing. I decided to design my own birthing pool and launched Made in ater a website dedicated to natural pregnancy and birth.
During the first two years, I earned only half of what I used to and we had to hange a bit our life style but it was worth it as family life become more central.
I try to work only three days a week. On these days, I usually wake up at 7.30am to prepare breakfast. At 8.45am the boys walk to school with their dad and I get the girls ready. At 10 am, I drop them to my much adored and trusted childminder and work until 5pm. My husband works also with me, processing and dispatching the orders, maintaining our website and doing all those house chores that I am not good at.
?He picks up the boys at 3pm and I got home by 6pm with the girls. It's time for everyone to get a bath, a dinner and at 8.30 they are tucked in their bed. We then work until 11 or 12 pm.
"On my days off, I try as much as possible to keep one of the girls with me and not do any work during the day. Week-end is usually spent in family. My previous jobs as finance director came with a lot of responsibility, but always got the balance right by negotiated flexible hours to be with my family. Today, things are different. It is not really in terms of working hours but more the difficulty to switch off from work.
"Made in water is always in my mind, resulting in less quality time with my children. I never been the workaholic type but I found that having your own business is dangerously addictive."

Keeping Up With the Wangs
It's long been known that your happiness depends less on how much wealth you have than on how much you have relative to other people – a phenomenon economists call "keeping up with the Joneses."
One study of more than 7,000 people in the U.S. found that the more money the richest person in your community makes, and the more neighbors you have who earn more money than you, the less satisfied you will feel with your life overall. A survey of nearly 5,200 British workers showed that the less money they made relative to those with comparable jobs, the less happy they felt about their own work and earnings. And anyone who's ever visited a Wall Street firm around Christmastime knows that the only thing that can ruin a multimillion-dollar bonus is the rumor that someone else got a bigger one.
Now the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses effect has been documented in stock portfolios in China. The researchers have named the Chinese version "keeping up with the Wangs."
Compared to investors in the poorer provinces of China, those in the wealthiest provinces put more of their portfolios in stocks headquartered nearby (presumably because they aren't tainted by proximity to the rural areas). Wealthier Chinese investors also trade more in smaller stocks (perhaps because that makes them feel they are "in the know" relative to people who aren't familiar with these names).
All this demand appears to have driven smaller stocks to steep prices, although high valuations haven't discouraged wealthier Chinese from continuing to invest. Quite the contrary: That seems to brand these stocks as a kind of luxury good, making them still more desirable.
Of course, getting swept up in the same rat race for financial success that Westerners have long run is no guarantee of happiness – or a good portfolio.
Nearly 70% of consumers surveyed in the richest provinces in China – Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong, Tianjin, Zhejiang and Jiangsu – agree with the statement that "owning luxury goods demonstrates my success and social status."
Strikingly, however, people in China's richest provinces already report lower levels of happiness than those in the poorer areas. Extravagant housing prices, traffic jams, pollution and the pressure of constant social comparisons will do that to you. Just ask anyone in Shanghai – or L.A.
Have you bought consumer goods or invested in a stock or fund just to keep up with the Joneses?

Hi Bill,
The following should help -
Here is some information on public key authentication
when the
remote side is running OpenSSH.
The keys used by OpenSSH and MultiNet (and other ssh
implementations based on the F-Secure package) are in different formats.
You will need to convert the keys to the correct format to use them.
On the Linux side you can use the ssh-keygen -e option to convert
OpenSSH keys to the RFC 4716 key file format used by
MultiNet. Here is an example that converts the default id_rsa.pub
key and then copies it to the MultiNet system -
# ssh-keygen -ef .ssh/id_rsa.pub > rfc4716.pub
# scp rfc4716.pub firstname.lastname@example.com:ssh2/rfc4716.pub
Once this is done the authorization. file for the user corbett would
need to have a key line added to it to use the new key. For example -
key rfc4716.pub
Going the other way you can use the -i option to convert
RFC 4716 to OpenSSH key file format. Here is an example of setting
this up -
1.) create a new key pair with -
$ mu sshkeygen/ssh2/key=key_for_scp
2.) create a [.ssh2]identification. file that looks like -
$ type [.ssh2]identification.
idkey key_for_scp
4.) Use SCP to copy the key_for_scp.pub file to the other system -
$ mu scp2 [.ssh2]key_for_scp.pub -
@ ::.ssh/key_for_scp.pub"
5.) Convert the key from RFC 4716 format to an OpenSSH key file and
appended it to the authorization file -
$ mu ssh/user=childrens 220.127.116.11 -
"ssh-keygen -i -f .ssh/key_for_scp.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys2"

Definition of upwelling in English:
An instance or amount of seawater, magma, or other liquid rising up: an upwelling of magma has caused long-lasting volcanic activity
More example sentences
- The question of why the plates move gets passed on to the geologists, who appeal to an upwelling of magma that pushes them apart.
- In certain areas of these coral reefs, high tidal ranges generate daily upwelling during flood tides.
- This is reinforced by the presence of the upwelling, north-flowing, cold Humboldt Current along the west coast of South America, which prevents precipitation in the coastal regions.

Welcome to NASA MAA: K1-9 STEM Education Project
Recently, York became one of the nine new NASA STEM Education sites selected through a rigorous and open competition nationally.
The predecessor to the NASA MAA was the NASA Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Aerospace Academy, or SEMAA, which began in 1993, as a partnership between NASA Glenn Research Center and Cuyahoga Community College, Cleveland, Ohio. The York site was one of the oldest and has offered the SEMAA Program to the community since 1999. Through our previous SEMAA and current MAA Program, we've served over 18,000 students since 1999.
Why NASA MAA?
Recognizing the need to increase the number of American youth who have an effective, authentic STEM experience each year prior to completing high school, and the need for NASA to do an internal consolidation, SEMAA was incorporated into MUREP, thus creating additional funding and learning opportunities to attract and retain underserved and underrepresented youth in grades K-12. NASA MAA advances student development through activity components that are fully integrated to form a comprehensive support system. Through its components, MAAs shall deliver: (1) Curriculum Enhancement Activities (CEA), hands-on curriculum activities relevant to NASA missions, (2) an Aerospace Education Laboratory (AEL), and (3) an innovative Family Café.
NASA MAA Goals:
The MUREP Aerospace Academy (MAA) goals are to: improve STEM literacy by engaging K-12 students, family members, and teachers through the integration of emerging technologies; and to educate students utilizing a STEM curriculum that meets national science, technology, engineering and mathematics standards aligned to NASAs mission directorates.
The MAA awards will:
- increase the number of historically underserved and underrepresented students interested in NASA specific STEM careers;
- provide skills to parents/caregivers to work with and encourage their children in STEM activities and programs;
- involve community groups, business, industry, museums, educational and professional organizations through mentoring, field trips, guest speakers, and other MAA activities; and (4) engage students in participatory activities such as hands-on-learning, research, use of advanced technology, peer support groups, and mentoring relationships with professionals working in the STEM fields.
2016 Summer NASA MAA Session underway
The MUREP Aerospace Academy (MAA) is running Monday-Friday session only for 1st to 9th graders. Thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of NASA, the York College NASA MAA program is resuming in Summer 2016.
Our NASA MAA program offers engaging, hands-on and fun science activities for children currently in 1st -9th grades. Catch the excitement and engage in STEM activities including StarLab (star gazing), Flight Simulation, Robotics, Mindstorm EV3, Lego, Wind Tunnel, GPS, Liquid Nitrogen ice cream making, Astronaut training, cool Chemistry experiments, NASA STEM education pipeline activities, etc.
- Summer 2016, we're running July 11th through July 29th (Monday through Friday).
- K1-9 Classes will begin promptly at 8.30 am and end at 12.30 pm.
- Lunch will be served.
- We require families to arrive by 6 pm to attend a General Orientation Meeting to be held in AC-3D01 on July 7th , 2016.
- Weekly Orientation will take place in AC-3D01on July 11, 18, and 25th at 8.15 am.
York MAA greatly acknowledges the generous support of NASA, which enables the current MAA session to offer state-of the-art STEM education to the greater York community.
Con Edison has been a steadfast financial supporter of the previous SEMAA Program since 2007 and we anticipate their corporate partnership to continue in regard to the NASA MAA as well.

moreFearless counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp is called upon to fight against the world's most deadly terrorists in this harrowing political thriller by New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn.
It's just seven days before Memorial Day, and the nation's capital is buzzing with last-minute preparations for the unveiling of the magnificent new memorial honoring the men and women who fought in World War II. Despite the hopeful energy of the city, Mitch Rapp senses trouble. A spike in CIA intelligence has pointed to a major terrorist attack on the United States. Now it's up to Rapp to pull out all the stops.
Rapp immediately leaves for Afghanistan, where he leads a special forces unit on a daring commando raid across the border into a remote Pakistani village. Their target: an al Qaeda stronghold. Within a subterranean room, Rapp and his team discover a treasure trove of maps, computers, files, and bills of lading for multiple freighters heading to U.S. ports -- all pointing to plans for a catastrophic nuclear attack on Washington, DC.
Information is quickly relayed back to CIA headquarters, and a nuclear emergency support team scrambles to the scene. In a few hours, the freighters have been located and disarmed and the danger has been averted. Or has it?
Despite all the backslapping and congratulations, Mitch Rapp can't shake the feeling that the operation seemed just a bit too easy. Rapp follows his instincts on a quest to unearth the whole truth. What he finds is truly terrifying, and with Memorial Day closing fast, Rapp must find a way to prevent a disaster of unimaginable proportions.
Packed with the heartstopping action and political intrigue that Vince Flynn's fans love, here is a stylish thriller exalting America's past battles for freedom as well as its continued fight for peace. less
