I bought the purple and (at the time orange/gold) Tri-blend deep V's almost three years ago. Amazing, durable (quality they last), soft to the touch. However after losing my gold one and going to Boston Pride and losing my last deep V in purple at a circuit party in a sea of shirtless men I was very distraught. I felt like I lost my first born child, I just loved those shirts. Needless to say I hightailed it to an AA right away I was pleasantly surprised they still sell them and I bought 3 (indigo/grey/lemon) and there better than ever. I'm fit, swimmers build and a small fits me nice. I like how it forms to my body making my chest look huge and my waist small…I get complements every time I wear these. You must try these…I definitely could live in these 24/7 if I as allowed to wear these to work I would. Thanks AA huge fan

for reference: i am 5'4, 108lbs, and a 34b.
i got this shirt in orchid, in a size xs. i probably could have gone with a xxs. i like the length, as i hate shirts that are too short. the sleeves are longer than a 'womens shirt' cut, which i think is a big plus. the v is pretty deep, especially for those of us that don't have the goods to fill it out as well. however, i think this shirt is still great.. very soft, awesome colors. i wear it sometimes with my tri blend cardigan.
will continue to purchase from aa.

Great T shirt, even for girls! I'm 6'0 tall, and like most AA t-shirts, the length is plenty long enough for me. If anything, I'd say it runs a little large, there wouldn't be any harm in ordering a size down. They keep their form even after being washed again and again. I've not experienced any pilling on the tri-blend. Very happy, and will surely buy more colors.

I wore this shirt with the following:
black Thick-Knit Jersey P.E. Shorts,
one pair of solid white thigh high socks,
one pair of solid black thigh high socks (below the knee), Unisex Flex Terry Headband.
I wore them to the 80's roller disco. I had lots of attention.
I hope to get the shirt (also the shorts) in more colors too. Thnks AA.

The fit and feel of this shirt are probably the best of any new t-shirt I've ever owned. If you have a preference for vintage style shirts, this is a perfect choice. The material is very soft, even prior to washing, and is lightweight. The length seems best for an average to tall individual. Highly recommended if you're looking for a comfortable t-shirt that can't help but look great anytime. The best t-shirt i've ever owned and I already have four of them.

Money centers throughout the world purpose as anchors of trading amongst a wide range of differing types of customers and sellers around the clock, except weekends. EBS and Reuters' dealing 3000 are two principal interbank Forex buying and selling platforms. The foreign trade marketplace establishes the relative values of various currencies.
The overseas exchange marketplace assists worldwide trade and investment decision by enabling currency conversion. Such as, it permits a company in the Usa to import merchandise through the European Union member states especially Eurozone users and pay back Euros, although its money is in United states of america bucks. Additionally, it supports direct speculation within the value of currencies, plus the have trade, speculation determined by the rate of interest differential concerning two currencies.
In the standard international exchange transaction, a celebration purchases some amount of one forex by paying some quantity of a further forex. The modern international trade market began forming in the course of the 1970s immediately after 3 many years of government constraints on international exchange transactions (the Bretton Woods system of monetary management proven the foundations for industrial and economical relations among the world's main industrial states after Planet War II), when international locations steadily switched to floating trade charges from your prior exchange price routine, which remained set as per the Bretton Woods procedure.
The international exchange industry is exclusive due to the subsequent traits:
its huge trading quantity symbolizing the most important asset course inside the earth major to substantial liquidity;
its geographical dispersion;
its steady procedure: 24 several hours a day apart from weekends, i.e., trading from twenty:fifteen GMT on Sunday till 22:00 GMT Friday;

the reduced margins of relative income compared with other marketplaces of preset cash flow; and
the use of leverage to enhance profit and reduction margins and with respect to account dimension.

Endocrine correlates of reproduction in the wolf. I. Serum progesterone, estradiol and LH during the estrous cycle
Biology of Reproduction

AbstractThe estrous cycle of 10 intact female wolves, aged 8 months-8 years at the initiation of the study, was characterized in terms of vaginal smears, behavioral observations and serum concentrations of estradiol-17&, progesterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) from January through June. No estrous cycles occurred in these animals between June and December. All were housed with male wolves. Two pups and 1 adult remained anestrous during this interval. One pup and 2 adults produced litters between May 4-6. Four adults exhibited endocrine changes similar to those of the pregnant animals but no litters or signs of abortion were observed. The duration of proestrus was 15.7 :t 1.6 days (x SEM, n = 6), of estrus 9.0:t 1.2 days (n = 4) and of the luteal phase 63 :t 2 days (n = 6). The duration of pregnancy was between 60-65 days. The anestrous females (86 blood samples) had 6 progesterone values between 1-2 ng/ml and the remainder below 1 ng/ml. Their estradiol-17& concentrations varied between 5-20 pg/ml. Values for LH varied between 0.1-2 ng/ml, except for 1 value above 15 ng/ml for each of the 2 anestrous pups on 12 January. The 7 estrous animals (260 samples) included 1 pup and 2 adults that delivered litters. Estradiol-17& varied between 10-20 pg/ml during proestrus, peaked at 30-70 pg/mllate in proestrus and fluctuated between 10-30 pg/ml during pregnancy or the duration of luteal activity in the nonpregnant animals. The preovulatory LH rise, 5-15 ng/ml, extended over 3 days during and immediately following the peak estradiol-17& values. An earlier elevation in LH as observed in 3 of the estrous animals. Progesterone began increasing during the LH surge and peaked 11-14 days later at 22-40 ng/ml. Progesterone concentrations greater than 3 ng/ml were maintained for 56-68 days in 6 of the 7 animals exhibiting estrus. Progesterone concentrations declined at parturition but continued to fluctuate between 0.2-3 ng/ml for 3-6 weeks.

Established in 1985 by Kevin Judd and David Hohnen, Cloudy Bay was one of the first vineyards in the Marlborough wine region on New Zealand's South Island.
Its reputation and quality helped put New Zealand wines on the global wine map, earning them international prestige.
The Cloudy Bay estate enjoys a relatively cool and moderate maritime climate year round, producing one of the world's most refined Sauvignon Blanc wines.
The wine made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes express the essence of this unique terroir, infused with notes of fresh melon, passion fruit, pineapple and lemon.
Cloudy Bay strives to preserve the vibrant natural purity and fruit of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes, which are harvested at night, so the cool freshness allows the fruit to retain its rich flavors. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks.
The Cloudy Bay range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, the brand's iconic Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc, and Pelorus, an exceptionally elegant sparkling wine.

I had to step aside from my position as school superintendent in 1992 due to my issues with coronary artery disease. Good cardiac care and advances in research have contributed to my survival and quality of life. Six years ago my son-in-law suffered a series of three strokes: at home during the night, in the life squad and at the hospital. Thanks to excellent functioning of all stages of the chain of survival in a timely manner, he suffers no residual limitations and is living a full productive life with my daughter and four grandchildren.Attending the Rally for Medical Research is important to me because meritorious research is being seriously underfunded. Inadequate budgets and cuts mean we are losing teams of skilled researchers, and potential advances in both basic and clinical science are being lost. Heart and stroke are the #1 and 4 killers and stroke is the #1 disabler of our citizens.I am asking you as a fellow advocate to please support our efforts by signing on to the 'Hearts for Research' photo petition.

I just found a modified version of a famous song by Francesco De André called "Il Pescatore".
The name of this remake is: The Ballad of the Programmer and it's about a poor programmer dealing with a client that wants "everything by yesterday, wants absurd features and wants to pay as little a possible" (pretty standard behavior for small and medium sized software companies in Italy), so he has to work day and night without eating and dreaming of a tropical beach (also standard dream of every developer working in the grey and foggy Milano).
The lyrics are in Italian but here is the translation made by Google Translation.
And here you can listen to the MP3.

Grausz, Appelman vie for senior vote
City Council candidates Ira Appelman and Dan Grausz held two forums last week, speaking to the Island's senior citizen population. The first forum was held at Island House on Sept. 30. The second was held at Aljoya House on Oct. 1. Residents of both living communities attended the forum, along with seniors from across the Island.
Addressing the Aljoya House crowd of approximately 50, Appelman told his audience that "I don't think seniors get much respect from the City Council." As "evidence," Appelman cited a handful of circumstances from the past, such as when the seniors were "booted out" of the Community Center at Mercer View when it opened in 2005 and sent to Covenant Shores for their senior lunch program. He also mentioned the city's Senior Commission, arguing that the City Council did little to financially support the group after it was established in 2007.
If elected to the Council, Appelman emphasized that he would represent senior citizens' needs and help those "without political power" to be heard.
"I have spent the last 12 years working with people without political power and telling them how the Council works, which almost none of you know how it works. You don't know the procedures, you don't know the commissions, you don't know the public hearings, you don't know the rules," he said.
Grausz took a different approach, encouraging seniors to attend City Council meetings and be heard.
"This is the way our city works. Every Council meeting we start with something we call appearances, where persons such as yourself can come to the Council and tell us what's on your mind," he said in response to a woman's concern about cyclists racing past pedestrians on Town Center pathways. "Every person who comes and raises a point gets a response from city staff."
Grausz vehemently disagreed with Appelman's statement that the City Council undervalues senior citizens. He pointed out that the city offers over 30 programs for Island seniors and that Councilmembers unanimously respect their needs and concerns.
"If you can't come to a Council meeting, all you have to do is contact staff," he told the Aljoya audience. "And you've now contacted me, so I will make sure you get a response."
Pedestrian safety in the Town Center — whether walking along landscaped paths or crossing busy streets — was one concern expressed by audience members. A few Aljoya residents asked the Council to add a crosswalk outside the retirement community on S.E. 27th Street, as there is currently no safe way to cross the street without walking more than 400 meters to the Starbucks crossing or the other direction to S.E. 24th Street.
Others expressed concern over cyclists who fly past pedestrians without warning on Town Center paths, as well as peloton cyclists who take up much of East and West Mercer Way while circling the Island.
Seniors also touched on what is, perhaps, the Island's hottest topic — improving the intersection at Island Crest Way and Merrimount.
Appelman responded that he was against a three-lane "road diet" along Island Crest Way and would fight for a four-way stoplight, which was the safest and most logistical option for the Island.
Grausz said that he was not yet decided on which of the four options — keeping the current ICW set-up, introducing a road diet, prohibiting left turns at the intersection or building a four-way stoplight — he would support.
"I've not, at this point, decided how I'm going to vote on this. We're still taking public input," he said, adding that he did have several concerns about the traffic light option. "People say they oppose the road diet because it will slow down traffic. The reality is, there's nothing which slows down traffic more than a red light."
The City Council will not be discussing the Merrimount and Island Crest Way intersection until Dec. 7. The agenda item was up for Council approval last April, but Councilmembers decided to postpone making a decision on the matter until after the mid-biennial budget review was completed in the fall. This would give Councilmembers a better idea of the amount of money available for the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) project.
A full review of the mid-biennial budget, including adjustments for 2010, will be complete in November. With this information, the City Council will be prepared to make its decision on Island Crest Way and Merrimount by Dec. 7.

TiHo Hannover
I was born in 1988 in Zwenkau, which is close to Leipzig, the city where I spent the first six years of my life. Before the beginning of my school career, we moved to a rural area at the foot of the Harz Mountains, which turned out to be a lovely place to grow up. In 2004, I left home for a year in order to explore the American culture first hand, living with the best host family one can imagine and attending high school in Pennsylvania. This exchange year contributed greatly to my personal development and success. After graduating from high school in 2007, I started veterinary training at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Hannover because of my strong interest in science and animals - a decision that has proved to be very fulfilling.
Over the last few years ballroom dancing has become one of my interests and thus I recently joined a ballroom dancing club where I practice on a regular basis. I also like to spend my free time reading novels - especially thrillers, participating in activities with my friends or family, and watching animals at the Hannover zoo. Furthermore, I am very fond of traveling. Since the end of my exchange year I have returned to the USA several times. I have also visited a lot of other countries throughout my life and hope to visit many more in the future.
Career Goal:
The career path I would like to follow is oriented towards research. After receiving my veterinary degree I plan to complete a doctoral dissertation and afterwards be employed as a research associate by an academic department of a veterinary school. At this current stage of veterinary training I could imagine conducting research in some area of pathology. Eventually, I hope to become a professor. Last semester, I gained insights into what working for an academic department is like, through my work as a teaching assistant at the department of anatomy, which I hope to continue after the program.

4 Comic Book Fan Theories Way Cooler Than the Comic Book
#2. Galactus of the Fantastic Four Is God
Marvel Comics
The Galactus Trilogy, the 1966 story where the Fantastic Four first meet their planet-eating nemesis, is one of the greatest comics ever made, and I won't even flinch as I put it on the same list as Watchmen and The Killing Joke. It's the perfect balance between cosmic insanity and down-to-earth normality -- Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Girl are dealing with a giant purple man from space who wants to eat them (and everything else), and they still stop to squabble like a pair of, well, real human beings. It's amazing.
Marvel Comics
And just a wincy bit sexist.
What might be even more amazing is the insane story of how this classic of the comic book medium supposedly came to be. The Fantastic Four were created by Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, but it's well-known that Lee's scripts -- which were pretty short to begin with -- got shorter and shorter with time until he ended up giving one-sentence synopses to the artists. According to the widely repeated legend, it got to the point where one day Lee just said (or mumbled in an intoxicated haze) "This month have the Fantastic Four fight God," and from those eight words Kirby drew an entire three-issue, 60-page saga for the ages.
Yes, Jack Kirby's idea of God is a purple giant who eats planets.
Marvel Comics
"Hey, Jack, legal says the name God isn't available ..."
"Well, shit, I'm not redrawing the logo."
This theory is supported by two important facts. Fact number one: Stan Lee admits that he didn't even know what was going to show up in the comics until he saw them. To be fair, at this time he was pretty busy writing (synopses and dialogue for) 10 monthly comics, taking care of various editorial duties and engaging in tireless self-promotion. For instance, Lee says that one day he looked at the Fantastic Four pages and saw "a nut on some sort of flying surfboard" and asked Kirby to delete that shit. Kirby said no, and that's why the Silver Surfer exists.
Fact number two: Jack Kirby was a maniac. He added a guy who surfs in space to a comic and didn't even tell the writer.
Marvel Comics
"... at least until I ask Jack what he's called. I have no idea what the fuck is going on."
So ... making up a story where the Fantastic Four fight God and God is wearing a ridiculous antenna helmet and, I cannot stress this enough, feeds on solar systems? Yep. Sounds about right.
Why It's Not True:
Kirby spent the last decades of his life setting the record straight on who did what at Marvel, and his claims have been extensively documented in court cases, so if The Galactus Trilogy had really started like this, I'm pretty sure he would have said something. Plus, both Lee and Kirby openly talked about their inspiration for Galactus, and they're pretty much on the same page on this one: They wanted a villain who was more epic than all the ones they'd done before, so they went for a godlike figure (but not THE God).
By the way, the FF did eventually meet God years later, and it's hard to argue with the character design they went with.
Marvel Comics
What does that make Sta- Oh.
#1. Superman's Scientist Friend Is Actually a Time-Traveling Lex Luthor
DC Comics
As I mentioned before, besides obsessing over Batman and the Joker, that Grant Morrison guy also writes comics, and they're not too bad. He has written every beloved comic book character from Aquaman to Hitler, but his most acclaimed work of the last decade is All-Star Superman, the story of what Superman does when he learns he'll die in 12 issues (surprisingly, it's not "shoot Jimmy Olsen with heat vision, over and over"). It's silly, exciting, and heartbreaking -- everything one could want from a superhero comic.
DC Comics
And punching. There's also punching.
Here, Morrison and artist Frank Quitely offer definitive versions of pretty much all of Superman's most classic friends and foes while adding some new ones to the cast, the most interesting being Leo Quintum, a philanthropic scientific genius. At the same time, there's something familiar about the guy, as if we'd seen in him in hundreds of comics before ... and that's because, according to a theory endorsed by every website from TV Tropes to TIME.com, Leo Quintum is a time-traveling Lex Luthor from the future. They even look similar, give or take a few hair plugs.
DC Comics
And the dumbest/most effective disguise in this universe: glasses.
But why would Luthor travel back in time and help the man who ruined endless real estate scams? Because in the last issue of All-Star Superman, Lex has a breakthrough when he sees the world through Superman's eyes and realizes he's been a jerk all this time. There are dozens of little clues that support this theory, starting with a line of dialogue in Issue 1 when Lex is talking to Quintum and someone asks "Are you talking to yourself again?" Later in the same issue, Leo says, "I'm trying to escape from a doomed world too, Superman ... it's called the past." Yeah, with the italics and all. But the best/most blatant one is in Issue 10:
DC Comics
Note that his head looks shiny when he says that, just like his past self.
So Superman trusts Quintum ... and also Luthor. From earlier in the same issue:
DC Comics
Oh look, he's behind some glass, too, how about that.
OK, at this point it's just painfully obvious. This isn't even up for debate. In another issue, Superman says to Luthor, "You could have saved the world years ago" -- so he did just that. After Superman's death, Lex finally takes Superman up on his challenge and makes up for the lost time by going back in it. Still need more? Fine: Lex's prison number is 221 (2 + 2 + 1 = 5 = a "quint"), he has a pet baboon named Leopold, and he loves long coats with popped collars. Just like Quintum.
Morrison, you genius.
Why It's Not True:
When All-Star Superman finished, Morrison did a nine-part interview where he dished out all of the series' secrets, and not only was there no mention whatsoever of this idea, but he gives us a different explanation for the parallels between Luthor and Quintum: one is the bad scientist, and one is the good scientist. That's all. Oh, and also, Quintum was supposed to be the avatar of an alien god, but that didn't fit, so "he was allowed to simply be himself." Which is to say, not Luthor. But, in a way, it's even more impressive that all the clues and motifs weren't intentional -- this guy can slip something mind-blowing into a comic without even trying.
Morrison, you (accidental) genius.
Maxwell Yezpitelok writes a comic that doesn't have any deep themes or symbolism, but there's lots of punching. Read it here, for FREE.

Where will Texas Tech's Jace Amaro be drafted? What the experts are saying...
On Wednesday SportsDayDFW columnist Rick Gosselin wrote about how Jace Amaro is the perfect type of tight end for this time in the NFL's evolution. Here's a look at where some draft experts have the Texas Tech tight end slated to go:
USA TODAY's Nate Davis: Not in the first round.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.: 29th overall, New England Patriots. Comment: "I do wonder if Amaro will drop this far. He's a special player with his blend of size, speed and pass-catching ability and he could be gone before this spot."
ESPN's Todd McShay: 32nd overall, Seattle Seahawks. Comment: "Amaro is very productive, has great size to box out defenders, and he runs well. He has too many drops and needs to improve his route-running, but he has the tools to develop."
CBSSports.com's Rob Rang: 20th overall, Arizona Cardinals. Comment: "Amaro is a potential Jimmy Graham-like threat who caught 106 passes for 1,352 yards and seven touchdowns in 2013."
CBSSports.com's Dane Brugler: 29th overall, New England Patriots. Comment: "Amaro is a versatile pass catcher who would fill the void from Aaron Hernandez."
Sports Illustrated's Doug Farrar: 29th overall, New England Patriots. Comment: :Amaro was a yards-after-catch monster in college, lining up in the slot most of the time and creating nightmares for linebackers and safeties. He'd be a perfect plug-in for Hernandez's old role, and could take some of the heat off of Brady should Gronk continue his recent injury trend."
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller: 29th overall, New England Patriots. Comment: "The Texas Tech tight end moves like a slot wide receiver but has the size to box out defenders and muscle for positioning over the middle of the field. Pair him with Tom Brady, and watch the numbers pile up."
Sporting News' Eric Galko: 16th overall, Baltimore Ravens. Comment: "Pairing Amaro with the current tight end Dennis Pitta would give this team a unique two-tight end strength that would be extremely tough to defend for their AFC North foes."
SBNation's Dan Kadar: 21st overall, Green Bay Packers. Comment: "Jermichael Finley is entering free agency and recovering from spinal fusion surgery. The Packers may let him sign elsewhere if they can score a player of Amaro's quality in the first round of the draft."

Provide Patients with Odorless Clean & Healthy Air Safely
Hospitals and healthcare facilities with chemical, sick room, urine, fecal, vomit, spill, bacteria, fungus, mold, and mildew, food and other odors can result in complaints from patients who perceive the air to be polluted and unhealthy.
Smelleze® Hospital Deodorizer Granules was specially developed to absorb, neutralize and encapsulate offensive hospital odors on contact without masking them with fragrances. Smelleze® will truly cleanse the air of offensive odors, complement existing ventilation systems and result in a fresh smelling environment. This will help create a healthy, chemical free atmosphere for patients to recuperate in.
For a breath of fresh air, simply sprinkle Smelleze® granules generously on the odor source or spill to cover it, clean after absorption and smell the difference. Repeat, if necessary, until the odor is eliminated. Smelleze® may be used on beds, couches, upholstery, floors, carpets, bedpans, vomit, spills, urine, medical waste disposal pails and garbage cans without harmful effects.
Smelleze® is non-toxic, safe, recyclable, natural, odorless, non-flammable and non-caustic. Smelleze® is an ideal environmentally friendly solution for eliminating unpleasant hospital odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. It does not contain VOCs, harmful or ozone depleting chemicals and is especially beneficial for those suffering from allergies and chemical sensitivity. No fossil fuels are used in the production of Smelleze® odor control media.
Hospital Odor Problems
Often times hospitals and health care facilities are invaded by unpleasant sick room, chemical, urine, fecal, vomit, spill, food, bacteria, mold, and mildew odors. Unfortunately, most ventilation systems only recirculate room air and remove large particulate matter such as dirt, dust, and lint. Pungent hospital odors are left free to recirculate in the air you breathe and could increase in concentration if left untreated. Covering up nasty hospital odors with masking agents like perfumes pollute the air with chemicals and often times result in even more offensive smells.
The Solution
The Smelleze® Hospital Deodorizer Granules were specially developed to adsorb, neutralize, and encapsulate many pungent hospital odors on contact. Smelleze® will truly cleanse the air of offensive odors, complement existing ventilation systems, and result in a fresh smelling environment. This will help create a healthy, chemical free atmosphere for patients to recuperate in.
It's No Cover-up
The Smelleze® Hospital Deodorizer Granules are a natural deodorizer that can be used to eliminate pungent sick room, chemical, urine, fecal, vomit, bacteria, mold, and mildew odors instead of merely masking them with fragrances. Smelleze® is negatively charged whereas odoriferous gases ride on positively charged particles. As a result, Smelleze® draws in hospital odors like a strong magnet. Thereafter, it traps, neutralizes, and encapsulates the odors without smelly cover-ups. The molecular structure of Smelleze® is made up of a lattice structure arranged to form a honeycomb framework of billions of interconnecting channels. This gives Smelleze® an enormous surface area that is larger than several football fields. The latter enables Smelleze® to adsorb phenomenal amounts of hospital odors.
Environmentally Friendly
The Smelleze® Hospital Deodorizer Granules are non-toxic, safe, non-hazardous, natural, non-scented, non-flammable, and non-caustic. It is an ideal environmentally friendly product for eliminating hospital odors without adding pollutants to the air you breathe. Smelleze® also does not contain chemical additives and is especially beneficial for those suffering from chemical sensitivity.
Smelleze® can be effectively used on beds, coaches, upholstery, floors, carpets, bedpans, medical waste disposal pails, garbage cans, etc. to eliminate unpleasant odors from any medical facility. Typical applications include:
- Hospitals
- Hospices
- Clinics
- Doctors Offices
- Dental Offices
- Chiropractic Offices
- Medical Labs
- Cancer Centers
- Nursing Homes
- Any Other Medical Facility With a Odor Problem
For a breath of fresh air, simply sprinkle 2-6 tablespoons Smelleze® granules per square foot on area to be deodorized, vacuum or clean up 20-30 minutes later, and smell the difference. For really tough odors, clean up 12-24 hours after sprinkling Smelleze® and repeat procedure if necessary. This product works great on urine and other spills. It will function most efficiently in an enclosed area with good air circulation. To obtain the best results, remove the odor sources (e.g. open containers) prior to treating with Smelleze®. For extra effectiveness, use this product in conjunction with the Smelleze® Hospital Deodorizer Pouch.
The unused Smelleze® Hospital Deodorizer Granules are non-hazardous and environmentally safe. However, this may change if it is exposed to hazardous or toxic substances. Used Smelleze® should be disposed according to all relevant local, state, and federal regulations

On Tour With...
Where is Ben Cappadora? One minute the toddler is sitting on a luggage trolley in the Tremont Hotel holding his older brother Vincent's hand, the next he's gone, turning his mother's 15th high school reunion into the worst nightmare of her life. In her fiction debut, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel columnist Jacquelyn Mitchard delivers a drama that has the tension of a thriller but moves more deeply into the emotional territory of family ties.
As the search for the missing child builds and wanes, the author dissects his parents' intense feelings as well as those of his brother Vincent, who becomes a troubled teen haunted by his role in the disappearance. While Mitchard makes the family anguish palpable, the horror is hardly unrelieved—the book follows the Cappadoras for nearly a decade; and there's an eye-popping twist that, though it doesn't answer every prayer, ends the agony of uncertainty about Ben's fate. (Viking, $23.95)
by Calvin Trillin
Sick of tell-all memoirs about dysfunctional families and deadbeat dads? Try humorist Trillin's Hallmark card to his pop, Abe, a hardworking Jewish immigrant from Ukraine who founded a chain of five neighborhood grocery stores in Kansas City, Mo., after the Depression. The closest thing to parental abuse this slim book exposes is the elder Trillin's insistence that his son join the Boy Scouts, against the child's will, because that's what true American boys do.
The guiding principle of young Trillin's upbringing was: "We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunity to be a real American." As a boy, Abe Trillin had read the heroic novel Stover at Yale, and as a grownup, he used it to guide his son's higher education. Calvin not only graduated from that citadel of WASP respectability but edited the Yale Daily News and belonged to one of Old Blue's prestigious senior societies. Abe, who worked hard all his life so that his son would never have to, died in 1967 at 60.
Trillin evinces the love he felt for the man who sacrificed to give him so many opportunities. Even so, Messages feels somewhat two-dimensional—its humor often corny or predictable. Outside of a Norman Rockwell painting, family life has never been this strife-free. (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $18)
by Walter Mosley
Easy Rawlins is in a jam. Embarking on his fifth adventure, the popular black sleuth finds himself up against an adversary more insidious than the usual suspects. This time trouble strikes from a surprising source—the much-praised author himself, who loses his mystery in all the noir mist.
The tale gets off to a tantalizing start as Easy succumbs to the charms of Idabell Turner, a teacher at the Watts junior high school where he's working by day as head custodian. But he quickly pays for his moments of passion: The lady vanishes, leaving Easy with her snappish little mutt, Pharaoh; he finds a snazzily dressed corpse in the school's garden; and police suspect him of murdering her husband—and/or hubby's twin brother.
From there, Easy's—and the reader's—headaches multiply. Without mug shots you're not likely to keep straight the dizzying parade of thugs, both with and without badges, gunning for him and sidekick Mouse.
As Mosley fans have come to expect, the vibrant black community is vividly evoked, and his reluctant hero is as ingratiating as ever. If you're in the market for an enjoyable yarn that happens to have a high body count, Dog won't disappoint you. But if it's suspense you crave, you'll be barking up the wrong tree. (Norton, $23)
by Christopher Andersen
Read again about how Jack fumed over Jackie's spending! Relive Jackie's triumphant visit to Paris! Eavesdrop as the couple squabbles over press photographers' access to their children (Jack wants more, Jackie less).
Though Andersen, who has written unauthorized biographies of Madonna, Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger, among others, dutifully talked to many of the couple's friends, relatives and employees, most had nothing fresh to say. He does dig up a brief, heretofore unreported affair between the young Senator and Audrey Hepburn in the early days of his romance with Jackie. With her exquisite looks and intelligent conversation, says one acquaintance, Hepburn "out-Jackied Jackie." Of course, Kennedy's White House ambitions precluded marriage to the Brussels-born, non-Catholic movie star.
Andersen's account picks up some speed during the White House years, and so, he writes, did his subjects—who both received regular injections of an amphetamine "cocktail" from Dr. Max Jacobson, aka the notorious Dr. Feelgood. The narrative slows when he repeats the list of women JFK supposedly bedded during his Administration.
It is the author's belief that Jack and Jackie had a deep affection for each other, and that beneath all the trappings of wealth and power, they too faced many of the same life problems—miscarriages, caring for aging parents—that ordinary Americans confront. That's a hard sell to readers wading through page after page of philandering, drug use and megabuck shopping sprees. But then comes the devastating death, touchingly told, of the couple's third child, Patrick, on Aug. 9, 1963. And in this instance, at least, the Kennedys bore their grief privately, with dignity and pretty much like any other couple. (Morrow, $24)
Selected and introduced by Anne Tyler
Baltimore-based novelist Anne Tyler, who grew up in Raleigh, N.C., chose these fiction pieces from a decade's worth collected in the New Stories from the South annual anthology. The 20 tales here epitomize the qualities readers treasure in the best southern literature: a rich appreciation of language and humor, as well as a dead-on sense of place and character.
Mary Hood's "After Moore" offers an indomitable Rhonda and her fractious marriage to Moore, a low-rent Ted Turner wannabe. As a mother she prepares for tornadoes by writing the names of her children on their legs with Magic Markers. As a wife she takes up stock-car racing after learning she's No. 78 on her husband's three-figure list of conquests. Her car number? You guessed it.
James Lee Burke's "Water People" is awash with images of the hard life on a drilling barge moored in a flat Louisiana bay "like a big rectangle of gray iron welded onto a cookie sheet." Barry Hannah takes us to a hunting lodge in Arkansas, where a desperate father playing chess wins his way out of debt when his personality is mysteriously transformed into that of a wily and sophisticated 18th-century woman. If the chilly alienation of much modern fiction gives you a migraine, take two stories from Best of the South and call a friend to tout them to in the morning. (Algonquin, $15.95)
by Ruth Rendell
Beach Book of the Week
EVEN THE SULTRIEST SUMMER DAY IS guaranteed to turn dank and chilly once you step inside this sinister collection from Britain's reigning queen of psychological suspense. (She was recently named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire.) Though the 11 tales here share certain themes—among them the homicidal impulses lurking in some of the most respectable families—their diversity is remarkable.
"Unacceptable Levels" is a playful riff about a woman more concerned about her lover's insurance policy than his person. "Burning End" presents a moving portrait of geriatric decline, criminality and regret. And the best of the batch, the novella-length "The Strawberry Tree," is a multilayered reflection by a rich Englishwoman on a fateful summer 40 years earlier when her brother and cousin disappeared.
For all the stories' differences, however, Rendell's hand remains rocksteady throughout. Her mastery finds expression in her crisp prose, abundant plot twists and, most of all, in her unblinking insight into the darkest recesses of the human psyche. (Crown, $23)
>Jeff Foxworthy
PLACE: Barnes & Noble, NYC BOOKS SIGNED: 80 in one hour
A RITZY BOOKSTORE ON NEW YORK CITY'S Fifth Avenue may not be the natural habitat of a self-described redneck, but there was Jeff Foxworthy, 37, heralded over the loudspeaker as "America's favorite southern-fried comedian," posing for pictures, hugging his fans, even autographing Holly Hughes's arm cast ("I was at track practice and fell over a hurdle," said Hughes, 15. "He's the most famous person to sign it.") Folks from all over—a Virginia accountant, a couple from Texas and a cop from Queens, N.Y.—greeted the eight-time author (his latest book is a bestseller) more like a next-door neighbor than the star of his own NBC sitcom, The Jeff Foxworthy Show. "Nobody ever comes up and says, 'Excuse me, Mr. Foxworthy' " says the affable Georgian. "They come up and slap me on the back and say, 'Hey, Jeff, let me tell you what my wife did last night.' "
Known for his "You might be a redneck if..." routine, Foxworthy has spent time in New York City before—when he was an unknown, nearly starving standup comic. "I never had any money so I lived on slices of pizza and hot dogs," he says. "Now it's hard for me to pass a hot-dog guy on the' street and not get one." Does that mean you can be rich and a redneck? "Oh yeah, 'cause it's an attitude," says Foxworthy. "I mean, think about it. Who had more money than Elvis?"

Have you come across the term "lifestyle design"? It's the idea of taking your way of living into your own hands and creating a life you really want to live. Sounds like a good thing, right? Except that it doesn't have this meaning for many people. Many people don't try to create THEIR ideal lifestyle, they try to create THE ideal lifestyle.
THE ideal lifestyle is the way of living that's supposed to be the best for everyone. People talk about THE ideal lifestyle when they're talking like this:
- "You need to travel while you're young."
- "We all should grow our own food at home"
- "Living minimalistically is the true way to find happiness."
- "Having a family will give your life it's real purpose."
- "Everybody should be vegan."
- "Everybody should go to college."
Notice something? It's full of "shoulds" and "needs". Believing in THE ideal lifestyle means that you believe everybody is supposed to live the exact same way. That's pretty dogmatic, of course.
The consequence? Instead of finding out what their own ideal lifestyle would look like, many people start follow those who dictate them THE ideal lifestyle. Then they measure their success by measuring how much their life matches the ideal lifestyle.
There are two problems with that.
1) THE ideal lifestyle you're following might not be YOUR ideal lifestyle.
Usually that means that you're not gonna be very motivated to follow it. You will keep sabotaging yourself and feel bad because you're not making any progress. Subconsciously you always know what you want and it's very difficult to put in a lot of effort for something that you do not want.
But even if you can trick yourself into following this path, there's a problem: After putting in all this effort and time, you might end up living a lifestyle that you do not really enjoy or that is not fitting to what you want to do in your life.
For example, if I went on a three year long round-the-world-trip now (because I believed that this is the ideal lifestyle and everybody should do it), I wouldn't be able to form a rock band and play gigs (which is what I really want to do). Or maybe you do really want to travel but THE ideal lifestyle tells you that you grow your own food at home. From what I know, it's pretty hard to take a garden with you. So if you followed THE ideal lifestyle you would stay at home and be probably not very happy about that.
2) Comparing yourself to others always makes you look like a loser.
There's always someone who has perfected THE ideal lifestyle more than you have. Someone who seems to have a more perfect life from the outside. It's very hard to be satisfied with your life if you're always competing against some ideal (which is not even ideal because nothing is) that is out there. Measuring your life from the outside is a stupid idea anyway. The outside can never tell you what's going on on the inside.
Maybe you don't think that you're following THE ideal lifestyle. You still might be doing it. It's easy to confuse your desires with other people's desires. Many people mix those up every day. They think they're following their dreams while they're actually following something that was defined to them as "THE ideal lifestyle" at some point.
Depending on how you grow up, where you live, who your friends are, how old you are and many other factors, THE ideal lifestyle may look different for you than for other people. Look at those examples for THE ideal lifestyle:
- Retiring early and lying at the beach for the rest of your life.
- Creating a family, building or buying a house, working at your 9-5 job.
- Sex, drugs & rock'n roll.
- Working on your internet business while travelling the world.
- Creating and living in a small sustainable and self-sufficient community.
- Wearing gold rings and watches, driving a Ferrari, owning a huge mansion with a pool.
- Hippie-Lifestyle
- Yuppie-Lifestyle
- Living with only 100 items or less.
- Working 16 hours a day and being as productive as you can be (living for your work).
- YOLO-Style.
- Meditating 12 hours a day (living for your spirituality).
You see, there are many different lifestyles that are supposed to be the best lifestyles depending on who you ask – however, only because there are many of them, it doesn't make them individual.
You are your own person. You are, in fact, different from anybody who has ever lived and will ever live. Of course you share the same basic needs with everyone but the need to express yourself will always be different from everybody else. You have your own desires, your own dreams – YOUR own ideal lifestyle. It might look similar to one of the examples above, it might look totally different. It's not better or worse than anyone's ideal lifestyle. Just as other people's ideal lifestyle is not better than yours.
A lifestyle always consists out of many factors: How do you want to work? What kind of friends do you want to have? Where do you want to live? Do you want to have a family? What kind of family? What's your ideal living arrangement? What skills do you want to master? How do you want to spend your free time? If you're not sure about what you want, there's always the trap of adapting to what other people want or to what other people want you to want. Instead of asking yourself "What would be the best choice?", ask yourself "What would make me really happy?" or "What do I really want?". Start listening to your heart, stop observing the outside world so much – they don't know any better than you do!
Your ideal lifestyle will change
Don't get too attached to your idea of your ideal lifestyle. It's probably gonna change a few times during your lifetime – and that's a good thing: Your changing desires will make sure that you keep growing and have new experiences. As long as you're sure that you're creating something you really want to create, you're moving into a good direction: the direction of YOUR ideal lifestyle.
No related posts.
Constant change is the necessary progress for your lifestyle in itself.
An own ideal lifestyle is not just there but a result of your ongoing perception of the world and your re-action of your inner world on it.
You are beautiful.

Abu Dhabi - Sri Lanka lost the wicket of opener Lahiru Thirimanne before reaching 50/1 at lunch on the opening day of the first cricket Test against Pakistan at Abu Dhabi stadium on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka, sent into bat, enjoyed a confident start to their innings before off-spinner Saeed Ajmal struck to remove Thirimanne (20) caught at slip off a sharp turner in the penultimate over before lunch.
At the break Tharanga Paranavitana was unbeaten on 29 and with him Kumar Sangakkara on one.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq's decision to field first was prompted by some grass on the pitch as he included three pacemen and a lone spinner in Ajmal with all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez also expected to bowl off-breaks.
Pakistan surprisingly left out experienced left-arm paceman Wahab Riaz and included rookie Junaid Khan, also a left-armer.
Sri Lanka also kept the same combination, giving 24-year-old paceman Nuwan Pradeep the Test cap, and entering the match with only one specialist spinner in Rangana Herath.
Sri Lankan openers were cautious at the beginning as their first boundary came only in the 14th over when the left-hander Paranavitana drove Hafeez to the cover boundary.
Misbah brought on spinner Hafeez in the eighth over, and he came close to trapping Thirimanne in his first over. But a loud appeal for leg-before was turned down by New Zealand umpire Tony Hill.
Former Sri Lankan captain Sangakkara brought up the fifty with a single, as Pakistan's pacemen toiled hard under a scorching sun.
The three Test series was shifted to United Arab Emirates after Sri Lanka refused an invitation to tour Pakistan in the wake of terrorists attacks on a military base in Karachi in May this year.

Father's Day Gift Guide
You have to be really fortunate to receive Father's Day gifts the likes of which were received by Irishmen Kenny McDowell and Gerry McIlroy the last couple of years. Graeme handed the U.S. Open trophy to his dad at Pebble Beach in 2010, while Rory bestowed the same gleaming gift on his father at Congressional in 2011.
AHEAD Golf Shirts
This year, once again, Father's Day and the final day of the U.S. Open happen simultaneously - Sunday, June 17th. If that's not the best indicator that dear old dad deserves a golf-related gift, I'm not sure what the best indicator might be.
Only one son can bring his dad this year's U.S. Open trophy. But here are some worthwhile items sure to please that golf-loving padre of yours regardless.
AHEAD golf shirts help to solve the modern-day riddle of sun protection. We know too much sun exposure is no good, yet most sunscreens are full of harsh chemicals, so who want to rub all that nasty goop into our skin? This stylish shirt line (www.aheadweb.com) features sun-protective fabric that provides all-day protection from damaging rays. Made of 100-percent performance polyester, the polo shirts combine UPF 30-plus with quick-dry moisture-wicking technology and odor management to keep golfers protected from the sun and the garment dry, cool and fresh. Additional features in the men's line include a three-button-angled placket, mechanical stretch, rib-knit collar and AHEAD's "extreme" fit and styling.
TRUE Golf Shoes, at just 11 ounces, are the lightest and most flexible golf shoes on the market. This is the first golf shoe built on a barefoot platform, designed to enable a golfer's body to naturally generate traction and stability. Their flexible, thin outsole allows golfers to feel the ground beneath their feet and make adjustments and no mid-sole make it the closest to the ground of any golf shoe. As an added bonus, their waterproofing allows play in any weather conditions. These unique shoes have been called "slippers with traction" and "the most comfortable shoes, not just golf shoes," time and again by our customers. It is possible to play golf in comfort while getting tour-level performance, just ask PGA pro Ryan Moore, an early and enthusiastic advocate of these great golf shoes. For more, visit www.truelinkswear.com.
The Clean Program's Nourish-Chocolate
The Clean Program is harder than cleaning your golf ball or your clubs. But "cleaning" your insides, more specifically your gut, can lead to a whole host of benefits that go far beyond a spotless wedge or a blinding-white Titleist. This 21-day program systematically removes all sorts of nasty toxins in the body, reduces inflammation and will result in a revived metabolism, a surge in energy, more focused mind, and probably a few pounds lost as an added bonus. For more, visit www.cleanprogram.com.
Vitamix (Standard Modular Package)
Vitamix Blenders are the best tool available to make the vegetable and fruit smoothies that make up a significant portion of the aforementioned Clean Program. And once you're all "clean" again, there's no better product to celebrate that newfound health and well-being, because these heavy-duty blenders (www.vitamix.com) make milkshakes, daiquiris and frozen margaritas better than anything else out there! They are the official supplier to chains like Smoothie King and Jamba Juice, so rest assured they can do the job efficiently, and for decades to come, on your own kitchen counter.
Bushnell's NEO+ GPS Watch is a product is as close to the Dick Tracy motif as anything else in golf. It's a wristwatch that is simple to use, lightweight and comfortable to wear. It comes preloaded with 25,000 courses, so no downloads or membership fees are required. It also has at-a-glance front/center/back distances to the green as well as one button shot distance measurement. The days of fiddling with a rangefinder, which require nearly as much skill to operate as a delicate flop shot to a tight pin, are over! For more details, visit www.bushnellgolf.com.
FILA Golf Shorts
FILA golf shorts are among the most comfortable and stylish garment in the current market. They are inspired by the iconic looks of 1950s prep school sport, and made from wrinkle-resistant cotton sateen. Their Manchester Bermuda Short has a relaxed fit with European styling, side seam pockets, two back-welt pockets and tortoise shell buttons. These shorts, perfect on or off the golf course, boast the brand's signature athletic-enhancing design. http://www.bushnellgolf.com
Tour Edge Exotics XCG5 Fairway Wood
Exotics Fairway Woods are the longest fairway woods in golf, bar none. The Exotics line (www.exoticsgolf.com) is part of the up-and-coming Tour Edge brand, and while Tour Edge itself is known mostly for value pricing, the Exotic line is high-end, with sky-high performance. Why are their fairway woods so long? It begins with an innovative titanium cup face and crown, a beta-titanium face insert for added distance, and a heavy tungsten sole plate that provides 68 percent of the club head's total weight. In fact, their XCG5 model is the only fairway wood on the market to use a titanium-cupped face and tungsten sole. The titanium offers exceptional distance while the tungsten allows for a smaller more traditional-sized head with a low center of gravity, a combination that delivers driver-like distance with remarkable forgiveness.
Kikkor Golf Shoes are a notable new brand, and not only because company founder James Lepp happened to be good enough to win the 2006 NCAA individual golf championship while attending the University of Washington. He makes cool, breathable, comfortable and stylish footwear options for golfers of all abilities, not just super-sticks. Kikkor provides players the opportunity to represent their personal style on the course. From a slip-on to a high top, from a sneaker to a traditional looking shoe and everything in between, Kikkor (www.kikkor.com) has a style that will resonate with every type of player.
Garmin's Forerunner 610
Garmin Approach is the no-brainer solution to distance aids. While not as difficult as actually playing the game, it definitely takes a bit of practice to hold steady, and effectively use the range finders made popular in the last decade or more by manufacturers like Golf Buddy, Nikon and Leupold. However the Garmin (www.garmin.com/Approach), which is easily mistaken for a wristwatch, is lightweight, portable, stylish and comes preloaded with tens of thousands of courses nationwide. Considering most golfers aren't nearly precise enough to take advantage of the exact yardages provided by range finders, the distances the Garmin provides to the front, middle and back of each green are more than enough information.

Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Boyd Lamb said just after 9:40 a.m.Monday, a small sedan turned onto SH 105 headed east. A witness said the vehicle began swerving across the center line at least a couple of times. A driver of a westbound 18-wheeler tried, unsuccessfully, to take evasive action.

We believe that climate change represents the biggest long-term threat to birds and other wildlife, and view renewable energy technologies, including wind power, as an important part of the solution. However, we must ensure that our most important wildlife sites are not put at risk by such developments.
Maps indicating the most sensitive areas in England and Scotland for building wind farms have been produced by the RSPB.
It is hoped that these maps and accompanying written guidance will help minimise the conflict between wind farms and birds of high conservation concern by helping planners and developers avoid the most sensitive sites.
The maps identify those areas where wind farms are more likely to pose medium to high risks for important bird populations, and so require more comprehensive assessment to determine where wind energy projects may be accommodated, and areas where wind farms are likely to be of less concern.
You can download the full report and map for each country by following the links to the left of this page.
The maps are intended to help local authorities in planning for renewable energy developments, and developers in directing proposals towards areas which are least likely to impact on sensitive species. With ambitious targets for renewable energy, developing plans of where these developments can best be accommodated is vital to the successful roll-out of technologies like wind power.
Scottish Government sets out in its Scottish Planning Policy the approach that planning authorities should follow in planning for renewable energy and in particular for large windfarms. This approach involves identifying areas for significant protection, other areas of significant constraint and areas of search for windfarms.
With the aid of these maps, the RSPB hopes it will make it easier for local councils to identify these areas - especially those which are important for birds - as well as helping to speed up the planning process.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Obama administration special envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell arrived in the region on Monday to mediate upcoming proximity talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, slated to begin on Wednesday.
In view of the Arab League's weekend decision to approve the talks, the PLO Executive Committee is expected to follow suit.
While Israel has agreed to Palestinian demands, backed by the Obama administration, to discuss core issues - including security, water rights, borders, and the status of Jerusalem - at the onset of talks, Israel maintains that resolving those issues can only be done during direct negotiations.
Over the weekend, PA President Mahmoud Abbas pre-empted the upcoming meetings by demanding control over large chunks of land in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), including the Jordan Valley and other areas under full Israeli sovereignty.
"The Americans understand that establishing a Palestinian state is a strategic American interest," Abbas said in an interview with the Palestinian paper al-Ayam, published on Sunday.
Several hours before Mitchell's scheduled arrival, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left for meetings with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Trade and Labor Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer and National Security Advisor Uzi Arad accompanied the prime minister.
Netanyahu and Mubarak, who met for more than an hour and a half, "focused on the resumption of the peace process and other regional issues," according to National Information Directorate head Nir Hefetz, who described the atmosphere as "positive and constructive."
Netanyahu would like Egypt's backing on security-related issues in a future agreement with the Palestinians. He also hopes to enlist Mubarak's help in convincing the Palestinians to move to direct negotiations as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Ben-Eliezer and Arad met with Omar Sulieman, head of Egyptian intelligence, and Foreign Minister Ahmed About Gheit. Among the issues they discussed was Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who has been held captive by Hamas, the Palestinian faction controlling the Gaza Strip, since his kidnapping on June 25, 2006.
Sulieman led unsuccessful third-party negotiations between Israel and Hamas for Shalit's release in exchange for up to 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. Germany later stepped in to mediate the swap, but the situation remains virtually unchanged.
Two of Israel's key concerns are the demilitarization of a future Palestinian state and deployment of Israeli forces along its eastern border to prevent weapons smuggling and other terror-related activity.
Netanyahu, who will lead the negotiations himself, plans to begin Wednesday's third-party talks with security- and water-related issues.
"We are going into the process with the best of intentions," one Israeli official said. "If the Palestinians come to the process in good faith, we can move quickly from proximity talks to direct talks," he said.
