An inspiring story about the social-activist priest Fr. John Powis of Brooklyn is in this week's Village Voice.
Just wondering: Is Fr. Powis, now near retirement, a relic of the '60s? Is his brand of socially active priesthood -- he spent his entire life in the roughest sections of never-gentrified sections of Brooklyn -- a dinosaur? Are there still young priests who are captivated by this vision of living with and being of service to the poor in this country? The best cinematic treatment of the priesthood may well be Karl Malden's character in "On the Waterfront," whose fiery speech in the climactic scene offered a spirituality that saw Christ crucified anytime there was oppression.
Or is the focus of priesthood today on careerism, with the greatest emphasis placed on liturgy and sacramental ministry? Finding a large, comfortable parish? Not to let lay people off the hook: Has the increased wealth of American Catholics put us further removed from the people served by Fr. Powis?

Biography of Claude Debussy
Achille-Claude Debussy (IPA /aʃil klod dəby'si/) (August 22, 1862 March 25, 1918) was a French composer.

The residential sector consists of private households. Energy is consumed primarily for space heating, water heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, cooking, clothes drying, and lighting. Fuel used for motor vehicles by household members is included in the transportation sector.
For the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors, a net total or net energy consumption (less electrical system energy losses) is provided to indicate the energy actually consumed by these sectors. In addition, energy consumed in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity (electrical system energy losses) is allocated to each sector based on the electricity consumed by the sector. Thus, total energy consumption represents the energy consumed by the sector as well as that used to provide electricity to the sector.
Between 2012 and 2013, residential sector net energy use increased 19.5 percent to 87.9 trillion British thermal units (Btu), which was 9.5 percent below the peak of 97.2 trillion Btu recorded in 1972. Total energy consumption attributed to the residential sector in 2013 was 163.76 trillion Btu, an increase of 11.4 percent from 2012. Natural gas use increased 34.0 percent, renewable energy use increased 30.6 percent from 2012, petroleum use increased 23.7 percent, electricity use increased 4.0 percent, and coal consumption remained at a level low enough to round to zero.
In 2013, (48.6 percent) of the residential sector's energy needs were met by natural gas. Thirty-nine percent (39.0%) of the energy consumed in the residential sector was electricity, 8.4 percent were petroleum products, and 4.0 percent was renewable energy. According to the 2013 American Community Survey, 62 percent of Nebraska's households used natural gas for home heating, 27 percent used electricity, 8 percent used propane, 1.4 percent used wood, 0.3 percent used heating oil, 0.01 percent used coal, and 0.01 percent used solar energy.
The solar data below includes small amounts of solar thermal and photovoltaic energy consumed by the commercial sector that cannot be separately identified.

TV Ratings: NFL overrun, 'Survivor' finale boost CBS past Chargers-Ravens on Sunday
NBC falls from its Sunday perch, but numbers are very preliminary
Over 30 minutes of overrun from the Patriots and Broncos ran into CBS' Sunday primetime and gave the network's entire lineup a big boost, while the "Survivor: South Pacific" finale held on to carry CBS to Sunday ratings wins. Of course, when final figures come out, NBC's Sunday Night Football coverage of the game between the Chargers and Ravens could end up winning out, at least among young viewers.
This was CBS' first win of the season on a Sunday night, though even the network took great pains to emphasis how tentative and subject to change these ratings are.
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged a 4.5 rating, edging out the 4.3 rating for NBC in the key demographic. FOX's 1.8 rating and the 1.3 rating for ABC trailed in the key demo.
Overall, CBS averaged an estimated 15.865 million viewers and a 9.2 rating/15 share, comfortably ahead of the 7.3/12 and 11.77 million viewers for NBC. Again, ABC's 2.8/4 and 4.78 million viewers and FOX's 2.4/4 and 4.205 million viewers were far back.
7 p.m. - NFL overrun and the first half of "60 Minutes" gave CBS a commanding win for the 7 p.m. hour with 22.815 million viewers and a 6.2 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's "Football Night in America" was a distant second with 7.42 million viewers and a 2.5 key demo rating. ABC's repeat of "America's Funniest Home Videos" averaged 6.515 million viewers and a 1.5 key demo rating, compared to the 3.96 million viewers and 1.5 key demo rating for FOX's repeats of "American Dad" and "The Cleveland Show."
8 p.m. - CBS stayed in first overall for the 8 p.m. hour with 16.43 million viewers for "60 Minutes" and the start of the "Survivor" finale, but slipped to second with a 4.2 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's Sunday Night Football showdown between the Ravens and Chargers averaged 12.51 million viewers for second and a 4.5 key demo rating to win the hour. ABC's "Once Upon a Time" repeat was third with 4.42 million viewers and fourth with a 1.2 key demo. FOX's repeat of "The Simpsons" (5.005 million viewers and a 2.2 key demo rating) and a new "Allen Gregory" (3.315 million viewers and a 1.5 key demo rating) finished fourth overall and third in the demo.
9 p.m. - NBC's Baltimore-San Diego game moved into first for the 9 p.m. hour overall with 14.61 million viewers and among adults 18-49 with a 5.4 rating. CBS' "Survivor" finale was second with 13.13 million viewers and a 4.1 key demo rating. FOX's repeats of "Family Guy" averaged nearly 4.5 million viewers and a 2.1 key demo rating in third, beating the 3.8 million viewers and 1.1 million viewers for ABC's airing of "The Santa Clause 3."
10 p.m. - Sunday Night Football kept NBC in first for the 10 p.m. hour with 12.56 million viewers and a 5.0 rating among adults 18-49. CBS was second with 11.09 million viewers and a 3.4 key demo rating for "Survivor" and the live "Survivor" reunion. ABC's movie averaged 4.39 million viewers and a 1.4 key demo rating in third.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

Close your eyes and think what shrubs you can name. I expect most people to produce a short list of spring flowering plants including forsythia, lilac and hydrangea. Some might mention common evergreens: boxwood, juniper, rhododendron or yew. Other people adopt blank expressions when shrubs are mentioned and ask, "Do you mean 'bushes'?"
They are then surprised when I explain that shrubs are plants with woody stems, either evergreen or deciduous, that are usually multistemmed and shorter than trees. Horticulturists scorn the word "bushes," its meaning too vague to contemplate; stash it in a drawer with archaic nouns, next to "shrubbery" – unless you're heading for Australia to march around in "the bush."
Frequently, even gardeners who can name 40 perennials can produce just five or 10 shrub names. Shrubs are definitely chopped liver.
Yet a landscape without shrubs is a stage set without furniture, a dinner plate with one filet of fish, a dress without a necklace. We need shrubs, and we should use them better.
Large and important
Several large shrubs can be used just like small trees around a home landscape – as focal points in an island planting, as stand-alone specimens or as the corner anchors in a large landscape bed skirting the foundation of a house. I'm avoiding the term "foundation planting," as it conjures up those narrow beds crammed against most houses and packed with too many shrubs that don't fit the location. A narrow, tightly packed foundation bed is not the place for these large beauties; they must be placed where they can attain their natural, graceful, full sizes.
• Viburnums: If ever a plant could stand up and whine "I get no respect," it would be a viburnum. In their containers they just don't show you their long-term attributes.
This is a genus of imposing shrubs, from 5 to 18 feet tall, that offer flowers, fragrance, lush berry clusters, bird appeal, textured foliage and fall colors. The most spectacular is the Doublefile Viburnum (Viburnum plicatum tomentosum) – royalty of the shrub world. The Linden Viburnum (V. dilatatum), Witherod (V. cassinoides), Burkwood and Koreanspice (V. carlesii) are just some of the species with great crosses and cultivars.
Don't avoid them for fear of the viburnum leaf beetle, as that pest completely avoids many viburnums and appears to be waning even on native viburnums in our fields.
• Amelanchier: Native serviceberries (also called Shadbush) are my choice for the top must-have plant in every yard – for four seasons of beauty, bird value and delicious berries (if the cedar waxwings leave any). Most grow 10 to 18 feet tall, vase-shaped, sometimes grown as trees. Find a corner.
• Hydrangeas: They dominate shrub departments, gardening Q&A sessions, and could take over this article, so I will give this spectacular, showy, gorgeous group of shrubs short shrift here; just see them.
The shorter, reblooming types – 'Endless Summer' and countless others – are invaluable among border and foundation plants. In this collection of taller, specimen plants, the panicle hydrangeas – 6 to 9 feet tall – are easy, gorgeous and bloom dependably after midsummer. Oakleaf Hydrangea is many landscapers' first choice for classic elegance, a staple in partial shade.
• Ninebarks: Physocarpus was a green old standard that is now used extensively. Today's cultivars have copper-colored leaves. Notice the mature size, give it room and don't prune it tightly.
• Lilac, Mock Orange, Forsythia, Rose of Sharon: These are grouped here just to say that every one of these traditional shrubs has improved cultivars, worth including somewhere, that perform better than old varieties. For example, newer lilacs remain 7 feet rather than 20 feet tall; some do rebloom.
Evergreens large and small
Most people want some green plants all year, so they buy yews, hollies, junipers, arborvitae, boxwoods or rhododendrons. Dwarf spruces such as 'Baby Blue Eyes' are often overlooked. Chamaecyparis (False Cypress) are less known and not used enough, although the genus includes richly varied textures and tones, sizes and shapes – tall and pointy, short and round – and they are generally deer-resistant and partly shade-tolerant.
Common mistakes with evergreens include overcrowded planting without regard to mature size and shape, insufficient drainage, cramming them under the eave, insufficient watering and forgetting their site requirements: Junipers need full sun; rhododendrons need partial shade and acidic soil; arborvitae are deer candy and suffer wind burn. Find an evergreen that will fit 15 years from now in its natural form and size.
Medium to small shrubs
The trick is to know exactly how much sun hits the site and how much space is available for the plant. There are definitely small shrubs for your landscape jobs that will complement perennials and define a garden space. The first six listed below do fine in partial shade as well as sunshine.
• Clethra alnifolia: Clethra is a lovely native called Summersweet because the fragrance could sell perfume; leaves are shiny; summer flowers are dangling, white; cultivar heights vary.
• Callicarpa, Beautyberry (several species): Won't dazzle you until you see the late season berries – mostly metallic purple!
• Enkianthus: This gem is somewhat subtle but the reddish stems, dangling bellflowers and bright fall colors make it priceless.
• Rhus aromatica 'Gro-low' (Sumac): Strong orange-red color in fall, shiny leaves; stays 2 feet tall, up to 5 feet wide.
• Sorbaria sorbifolia 'Sem': This cultivar of a great, suckering hedge shrub is adorable, with pink leaf tips, early to open in spring, large butterfly-attracting white flowers, and a lacy look—just 4 feet tall.
• Itea: Varying heights by species, this good worker offers fragrant flowers and turns flame red in fall.
So many other shrubs do really well in full sun: St. John's Wort, Bluebeard (Caryopteris), Butterfly Bush, landscape roses. Innumerable species of Weigelas and Japanese Spiraeas – some might say overused – serve well in contemporary landscapes, with a variety of foliage colors.
Shrub choices are many. Nurseries and garden centers in our region offer a broad selection, so look thoroughly and learn what low-maintenance, charming friends they can be in your landscape.

BMB Munai: A significantly undervalued oil company 1 commentBMB Munai (symbol: KAZ) is a small cap oil company which appears to be extremely undervalued. I have been adding to my position in KAZ for several reasons. KAZ looks great technically, the 50 day moving average recently crossed over the 200 day moving average which is a very bullish "golden cross formation" on the chart that can attract momentum traders and other investors. The fundamentals look good too. KAZ has a book value of about $4.08 per share and they recently announced a very significant increase in production at their Kariman well. The Chairman owns about 12 million shares (he used to work at Chevron) and he hasn't sold any shares since 2007 back when KAZ traded for over $5 per share.
Some of the risks for KAZ include the fact that it operates out of Kazakhstan. While that region is not viewed to be as stable as the US, this is a positive in many ways since Kazakhstan is so rich in oil. Chevron has invested heavily in Kazakhstan and so have various Chinese interests. Read more about the oil reserves in Kazakhstan here: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/Kazakhstan/Background.html
I expect the noteholders and KAZ to find a reasonable solution soon. It appears that noteholders would receive nothing if they forced KAZ into bankruptcy. The licenses held by KAZ would likely revert back to the Kazakhstan government plus the current management is needed to operate the company and maintain the existing relationship with the Kazakhstan government, without this noteholders have nothing. I believe they will agree to a longer term extension or perhaps KAZ will be able to find financing elsewhere and pay off these noteholders. They could agree to convert some notes into shares as well. Long term, I view any of these options as a positive for the company and shareholders.Here is the investor presentation from KAZ, and I have highlighted some key points below:P1 reserves for KAZ is about 23 million barrels of oil (about 82 million in P2 reserves). KAZ expects to start including gas reserves in P1 reserves in the next reserve report which should be out in Q1 of 2011.KAZ management appears to have good relations with the Kazakhstan government.If you compare the P1 reserves for KAZ to other small oil companies such as MHR, KOG it shows that KAZ appears to be extremely undervalued. As we have seen recently, these small oil companies can move fast and hard once positive momentum turns for them. SSN, KOG, MHR have seen huge runs from well under $1 to well over $5 in some cases. If KAZ resolves the noteholders deal in a fair deal for both sides, I expect to see the stock jump substantially. If oil and inflation rise in the next couple years, it would be very reasonable for KAZ shares to return to over $5 per share, as they were before the financial crisis.
The 52 week high for KAZ is currently about $1.22 per share, so it will not be surprising to see KAZ break out and make new 52 week highs in the near future.

I have been in and out of KAZ for years. It has generally been a stock that has traded well below book--primarily due to the nature of the politics around it. The last time it took fair value was proir to the last oil peak in a small cap oil bubble in my recollection. In some ways there are similarities to that last small cap oil boom going on currently...

A small Wiregrass school district is reaping the benefits of last year's voter-approved billion dollar bond issue.
Recently, work was completed in removing old, worn out carpet and replacing it with tile at Opp Middle School.
In addition, energy efficient windows have been installed
This week, the district was notified that it will receive an additional $25,000 for upgrades and improvements.
Principal Aaron Hightower says having the state pick-up the tab is tremendous help.
Hightower says it's his goal to continually make infrastructure improvements to Opp Middle School.
The original portion of the school dates back to the 1950's.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Brandon firefighter charged with arson; fraudSeptember 05,2013BRANDON A town firefighter is facing criminal charges after Brandon Police say he set his own car on fire in an effort to defraud his insurance company.
Jeremiah M. Shaw, 31, of Brandon, has been issued a criminal citation to appear in Rutland criminal court in October to answer to charges of arson, burning to defraud and insurance fraud.
Brandon Police were called at 11 p.m. on Aug. 12 to a car fire on Route 7 near the intersection of Wood Lane in town for a reported car fire.
At the scene, Shaw told police he was driving when he noticed flames in the back of the vehicle and pulled over. Before fire crews arrived, the car was fully engulfed in flames.
Further investigation by police in town and the Vermont State Police Arson Unit indicated that the fire didnt start in the manner that Shaw described.
Police say he later confessed to burning the vehicle to obtain insurance money.
Brandon Fire Chief Roman Wdowiak said Wednesday that his department was cooperating with police and had taken appropriate steps in accordance with the law regarding Shaws status at the fire department. He did not say explicitly whether Shaw remained an active member of the department.MORE IN This Just InColleges merger

This one is a genuine Sandipan Deb masterpiece - a must read for the global, and the local, IndianAn aptly named and objectively and incisively written masterpiece. For all those who never knew when and how the Great Indian Brain Exodus to the US via the Ivy League universities started, why even the average Indian professional can now aspire to ride the Washington Accord to the US, in a manner of speaking, why US Indians don't really run, a la the Chinese (just stating facts, no offence meant), street thug gangs in their hard-earned new homeland but still end up on the wrong side of the law at times and, most importantly, for fairly clear and factual answers to the basic question - did the… (Expand)

Hollywood Script!An interesting, researched and well documented book. For me key take away was Games People Play and how 'inadvertently' some of them who inspite the fact are so highly Educated, widely Respected and very Rich, yet become pawns in the hand of few and end up loosing everything including freedom (as in metaphor).
Jun 9, 2013
simply excellentDid read it in a straight 8 hours stretch. period. Book mainly deals with insider-trading scam in stock market and their background plots explained in a dramatic way.

I just upgraded to 3.5.1 and noticed that my TinyMCE plugin (3.4.9) is not totally working. I was testing things out prior to training a client in on the control panel and noticed that when I embed an image, click on it, and then click the TinyMCE image icon, a few things are not working:
- Image URL is blank -- usually this is populated automatically by the selected image
- Class dropdown is empty -- usually this pulls in the styles in editor-styles.css. Note: these styles DO show up in the TinyMCE style dropdown, just not in the Insert/Edit Image popup. Other body styles and such ARE working in the editor.

They say every good idea attracts ideas for a sequel. And it appears the world of sporting lunacy is no exception, as seen at Ewood Park on Sunday when Venky's Chicken 2 made a glorious debut in 'El Lanclassico' between Blackburn and Burnley.
The return of such a 'classic' animal-based sporting interlude compelled us to dig up another nine, for a top 10 list which could have the RSPCA watching future sporting events in nervous anticipation of the worst.
We'll start right at the top with the weekend's poultry-in-motion...
1. The Venky's Chicken
Ewood Park, May 2012 and March 2013
Blackburn's relegation from the Premier League last season was sealed by a 1-0 home defeat to fellow strugglers Wigan Athletic. That fateful night also marked the debut of the Venky's chicken: mascot of disdainful protest.
Frustrated Rovers supporters, who had been campaigning all season for their Indian owners to leave their club alone, smuggled a chicken draped in a small Blackburn club flag onto the pitch early in the doom-securing contest.
And with Blackburn languishing in the Championship and seeing their FA Cup run ended by Millwall, the fans pulled off a follow-up as David Dunn spared blushes with a late goal for a 1-1 draw with fierce rivals Burnley at Ewood:
2. The Twickenham Fox
England v Scotland, March 2011
This Calcutta Cup clash at the 2011 Six Nations may have been low on thrills, but the pre-match entertainment was unforgettable as a picture-book-cute fox wandered all over Twickenham, enthralling the crowd and TV viewers alike through the mere act of padding around on the hallowed turf.
Perhaps the unticketed visitor even gave the home side a bit of inspiration: just as foxes are the ultimate urban survivors, so England became Grand Slam survivors as they somehow eked out a win over a pluckier, gutsier Scotland side.
3. The Sawgrass Seagull
Players Championship, 1998
American journeyman golfer Steve Lowery was initially pretty pleased with himself when playing the infamous 17th hole on the TPC Stadium course: he hit a beautiful shot that was right into the heart of the island green on the tricky par-3.
But a passing seagull had other ideas: it picked up Lowery's ball, rolled it across the green with its beak, then picked it up, flew away, and dropped it in the lake.
Luckily for Lowery, the rules of golf legislated for such avian villainy: since the ball had stopped before he picked it up, he was allowed to replace the ball on the green.
4. The Visakhapatnam Bees
The ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, India, is one of international cricket's newest venues, having been built in 2003.
There's just one problem with it: there are roughly a dozen bee colonies on the stadium premises. Some are in trees on the site, while others are in the rafters of the stand - but all are very much alive and each honeycomb is teeming with flying beasts.
When they decide to come out and play, the players and match officials have no option but to lie flat on the ground until the swarm passes, while spectators can end up running around the stands trying to avoid getting stung.
The first ever one-day international at the ground, between India and Pakistan in 2005, was affected by a swarm, and at one recent match the TV commentators were hemmed into their glass box as the bees surrounded the press cubicle.
Indian newspaper The Hindu reported last month that the prohibitive cost of removing the honeycombs - a highly specialised job - has so far prevented stadium owners from having the bees moved on.
5. The Highbury Squirrel
Arsenal v Villarreal, April 2006
The highlight of Arsenal's final European match at Highbury was not Kolo Toure's 41st-minute goal which eventually put the Gunners into their first Champions League final.
It was the grey squirrel which ran on to the pitch a couple of minutes into the game.
6. The Cricket-hating Camels
Tasmania, 1984
A cricket match between Tasmanian arch-rivals Launceston and Old Suttonians was interrupted in the most bizarre circumstances imaginable back in 1984: a caravan of camels charged onto the cricket square.
The match had to be halted to allow the rounding-up of the animals, who had escaped from a nearby circus - but the peace didn't last long. The camels broke back into the match three more times.
7. Urine trouble, Greavesy…
England v Brazil, World Cup quarter-final, June 1962
When a stray dog ran on to the pitch in Vina del Mar, Chile, during England's World Cup quarter-final against Brazil, it took England striker Jimmy Greaves getting down on all fours and befriending the dog to catch and carry him off the pitch.
The cheer Greaves received was a rare bright moment on a bad afternoon: not only did England go on to lose 3-1, the dog also peed on the Tottenham striker as he handed him over to officials.
8. The Wimbledon pigeons
All England Club, 2000
Some, like Mike Tyson, believe pigeons are beautiful and fascinating creatures. Others - like anybody who has been bullseyed by one of the flying rats as they walk across Trafalgar Square - may not concur.
But everyone can agree that having flocks of pigeons flying around could be a disaster for a tennis tournament, which is why the organisers of Wimbledon spend a fortune every year trying to keep the birds away.
In 2000, the All England Club employed a hawk called Hamish to chase the pigeons away, even equipping the bird of prey with its own laminated pass to the tournament.
But in 2008 the hawk patrol proved not to be enough, and a team of marksmen were hired to shoot the birds. It kept the tournament pigeon-free - but landed the club in hot water with animal welfare groups.
9. Dove takes on baseball - and loses
March 2001
The recent furore over a South American footballer who kicked an owl that was the opposing team's mascot was nothing compared to the publicity that baseball legend Randy Johnson garnered when he accidentally killed a dove during a game.
The Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher threw his best fastball at Calvin Murray of the San Francisco Giants - but as he did so, a dove swooped down into the ground at top speed.
Sadly for the bird, its high-speed divebomb took it exactly into the path of Johnson's 95mph fast ball. The result? The bird was killed in an astonishing explosion of feathers.
"I'm sitting there waiting for it, and I'm expecting to catch the thing, and all you see is an explosion," said Diamondbacks' catcher Rod Barajas at the time. "It's crazy. There's still feathers down there."
10. The Anfield Cat and his trans-Atlantic cousin
February and September 2012
When a rogue feline made it onto the Anfield pitch during Liverpool's goalless draw with Tottenham in February of last year, and evaded capture for over three minutes with a mazy run which would have made Luis Suarez or Gareth Bale proud, Twitter was festoomed with joke accounts claiming to be the real deal – with @AnfieldCat up to over 20,000 followers by the next morning.
Not only that, but the CONCACAF Champions League witnessed the debut of TAC's North American cousin when Toronto FC played host to Santos Laguna six months or so later:

I rise early in the morning and go down late in the evening. My desire between waking and sleeping is to make things pretty or make pretty things! I have been in secondary education for twenty years teaching high school art, helping young adults recognize their creative nature or trying to help them develop one. I thought I had given up sewing when my little ones grew too big to applique their clothes and make cutesy clothes for them. I rediscovered that love of creative sewing one summer two or three summers back when I wandered into a quilt shop with my sister (the queen bee of quilting) and saw a little clutch purse pattern that looked too simple not to make. I was hooked! The rest of the summer I was designing purses and have been doing so every since.Read More » View all patterns by designer (43) »
I'll bet people can tell about your personality by all the things you carry in your bag. As a high school art teacher I often pull out all sorts of interesting things but mostly I have pens, pencils, erasers of various types, probably some sort of paint brush, definitely Sharpie pens in various colors, crayons for the grandchildren, bandaids for cuts while student cuts while carving, a sketchbook with tons of drawings and probably a spoon or fork....and that is just for starters! I have been in groups where we would compete for the most odd thing in our purse like the old Truth or Consequences game show.
Well, here is a purse for a lady who loves to be organized. The diagonal back pockets are not just pretty but also functional. Raise the flap on the purse and find another large pocket big enough for a magazine, a notebook, folder, Kindle or IPad. A key clasp is easily accesible from the inside of the bag so you never have to dig around in the bottom of the purse. All these pockets and plus plenty of room inside the bag to fill it will all those extras you carry.
I really would like to know what is the most strange thing in your purse?

I recently got some spam advertising that I could get 2 phones for free (after rebate, etc.) if I ordered through Inphonic. The timing was good since I needed a new phone for my wife and I. I went ahead and ordered and they sent me the wrong phones.
After many attempts and many hours, I finally got through to them to request the correct phones and a return label for the incorrect ones. 3 weeks later I only get one "correct" phone and a huge bill of $340!
When I called to have them explain the charges, they had much difficulty and it was clear that they were making stuff up. Sensing this (and also being very frusterated) I decided to cancel my order all together and get my money back. It has been 2 months and I still have yet to see any of the return labels...all along of which they still are enjoying my money that they took from me. They also claim that they only have one person that works on the return labels and that she is really busy right now. Ugh!
In any case, please use caution when dealing with this reseller/distributor of cell phones. Also, wish me luck on getting my money back!
