Teresa Williams walked through the door at Cesare's of New York Pizzeria and stared hard at Silvana Bastone.
"Is it true?"
"Yes," Bastone said, her voice somber. She has made pizza at Cesare's for 38 years. But Thursday, she was stretching her last pies at the South Tampa landmark and closing the doors for good.
For decades, the pizzas here drew hundreds of Plant High School students across the street for lunch. Others came for the fresh tomatoes, spinach and the crispy crusts.
Williams, who owns nearby Enso Hair Studio, described her reaction as she ordered her last slice. "Devastated," she said. As former New Yorkers, she and Bastone always got each other's saucy comebacks, which can come off as rude to the uninitiated.
"Part of it is the entertainment," Bastone said about her business philosophy. "People love me or hate me."
"Well, we love you," said Tom Debrocke, eating a spinach pizza with his family.
Despite a cadre of loyal customers, the walls peppered with maps of Italy, family photos and newspaper articles will soon be cleared out of the corner restaurant at 2117 S Dale Mabry Highway.
Bastone counts 14 pizzerias located within a mile of her. It's hard to compete on price when she is making her own dough from her father's recipe and using fresh vegetables.
And don't ask her for that recipe.
"Ha! You and everyone else wants to know," she said.
The pizzeria was opened by her parents, who met in Italy and married when both were young. Cesare and Eva Bastone came to the United States in 1949 and began making pizzas in the Bronx. In 1976, they moved to Tampa and opened this pizzeria.
Cesare loved tomatoes and rented land in Manatee County to grow his own, along with swiss chard and basil. He sold his extra produce on the counter in the early years. He played the trombone and trumpet and brought recordings into the restaurant to play for customers.
Arthur Savage, 52, remembers those days. He has been coming to Cesare's since he was in Coleman Middle School and teasing Bastone the whole time.
"You still can't find good help, huh, Cesare?" he used to say.
Cesare died in 2008 and Eva in 2012. Silvana can't dwell on them without tears flowing.
She made her first pizza at 11. She turned 59 in July and has been working more than 100 hours a week, she said, without a vacation since 2001.
V.V. Pupello of Lutz got hooked on Cesare's spinach pizza, with a side of Silvana's fresh talk more than 30 years ago.
"She's very real, very honest," he said.
Behind the counter, Bastone hung up the phone.
"Those people drive me crazy — 'eat it here, take it out,' — Mama mia, make up your mind."
She winks at another customer as she rants.
"There's going to be a handful of people I'm going to miss," she said. "The rest of them … "
She wiped tears and hugged customers while serving up her last 60 pies for lunch. Bastone was out of dough by 12:30 p.m. A dozen red roses sat on the counter, a gift from Elizabeth Blalock, 24, who got the last pizza.
"It's been a long run and I miss my family," Bastone said.

With his burly physique and woolly beard, Brandon Barnhart looks every inch the laid-back country kid from tiny West College Corner, Ind.
But don't be fooled. This guy is driven.
After eight years in the Air Force working on nuclear cruise missiles, Barnhart returned to civilian life in 2010 and immediately reenrolled at Indiana University to finish his undergraduate degree in general studies and history.
And while he grew up around conventionally grown sweet corn, soybeans, and hay on his family's farm, he intends to do things his way - as an organic farmer.
"I enjoy the idea of working with nature as opposed to against it, of producing my own food, and leaving the environment better than I found it," says Barnhart, a student in the Veteran Organic Farming Program, an unusual partnership between Delaware Valley College in Doylestown and the Rodale Institute in Kutztown.

Meet Goldman's 'Rock Star' in Libya
Driss Ben-Brahim has been among the most lavishly paid bankers at America's foremost investment institution. And, according to a Page One story today in The Wall Street Journal, the former Goldman Sachs official also was in the center ring of the bank's unusual financial dealings with the Libyan government.
Goldman pitched hard to land $1.3 billion in investment business from Libya's sovereign wealth fund in 2008, our Journal colleagues Margaret Coker and Liz Rappaport detailed. Ben-Brahim was one of the main attractions. "He was like a rock star," one former Libyan Investment Authority executive said.
The Libyans' investment was nearly all wiped out in the financial crisis. And Goldman — spooked by the Libyans' unhappiness about the investment losses — offered Libya a large ownership stake in the Wall Street bank. The deal never came to fruition.
Deal Journal has collected a dossier on Ben-Brahim, Goldman's former emerging markets chief. Here is a look at his impressive resume, his United Nations-like background, and his eye-popping paycheck.
How He Made His Bones: Ben-Brahim was hired at Goldman Sachs in 1994 from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. While working for the bank in London, Ben-Brahim ran one of Goldman's most profitable trading desks. He made bets with Goldman's money in foreign-exchange markets, interest-rate instruments, commodities, and other assets. Later, Ben-Brahim added oversight over all of Goldman's emerging markets trading.
He was named a Goldman managing director in 2002, and then in 2004 Ben-Brahim became a Goldman partner, the biennial Wall Street equivalent of being allowed through the gates of heaven.
Big Bucks for Ben-Brahim: In 2004, Ben-Brahim made news from London to Adelaide when he reportedly landed among the biggest-ever bonuses in the history of U.K. finance — GBP 30 million. As the U.K. paper the Sunday Times noted then, the bonus, a mix of cash and options, was equivalent to average annual paychecks of more than 1,100 people.
Before the wheels fell off Wall Street's securitization machine, there were reports Ben-Brahim landed an even higher bonus of £50 million in 2006 (about $83 million at today's exchange rates). Goldman said the reports of his pay package were "completely ridiculous," and other accounts put his windfall at closer to £10 million. Still, reporters stalked Ben-Brahim outside his home. Newspapers called him the £50 million man.
This guy is a Walking United Nations: The Moroccan-born Ben-Brahim speaks French, English, German and Arabic. Ben-Brahim's wife, Heli, is from Iran.
Current employer: Ben-Brahim left Goldman in July 2008 for GLG Partners, an investment firm that has hired top traders from Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank and Pimco, and offers them a high degree of autonomy. GLG co-CEO Emmanuel Roman already knew Ben-Brahim; he brought him to Goldman in the 1990s from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
At GLG, Ben-Brahim was tasked with expanding its special situations business, which covers long term investments including private companies and less-liquid assets. GLG also said Ben-Brahim would develop funds "tailored to fit the specific strategic needs of Sovereign Wealth funds."
An unnamed source told the Sunday Times that Goldman was "not amused" by Ben-Brahim's departure. (Apparently, folks in Goldman's London offices borrow argot from the Queen.)
School Daze: Ben-Brahim graduated from the elite Ecole Centrale Paris and the even more elite Insead, the business school tucked into a French forest. Other Insead alumni include U.K. foreign secretary William Hague and Sir Lindsay Owen Jones, the former CEO of cosmetics giant L'Oreal.
Home Sweet Home: Ben-Brahim reportedly lives in a large townhouse in Kensington, the posh neighborhood in West London. He reportedly paid £2.8 million for the four-floor home.
What's he like? He is "always laughing," the Sunday Times reported in 2004.
"He is not showy – he doesn't have a chauffeur, he gets cabs to work. He keeps a very low profile," a neighbor told the Daily Mail newspaper for a 2006 story.
Random factoid: Ben-Brahim is Facebook friends with Lionel de Saint-Exupéry, a financier and great-nephew of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of childhood reading staple, "The Little Prince."

How to I buy this pattern. Thank You.
By the way do we get a response to our comments?
Sorry, ladies! I am never on here.
I got this pattern from the Dainty Daisy blog. I have no idea whether or not it is still available. It is possible that she removed it as a free pattern. It is called the "Shell Stitch Beanie", and it's located here: http://thedaintydaisyblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/shell-stitch-beanie.html I used a merino wool/bamboo blend.
Love the shell benie. When my two year old granddaughter received it she did not want to take it off. Now I have to make it in more colors.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Several area law enforcement agencies were awarded AAA Community Traffic Safety Awards on Tuesday in recognition of their steadfast dedication to keeping West Virginia roadways safe for citizens and motorists.
Ten of the 11 departments recognized at Tuesday's awards ceremony received AAA's platinum award, the most prestigious award possible. The platinum awards are given to departments AAA describes as commendable leaders for their safety efforts and enforcement activities geared toward making communities safer.
Representatives from the Berkeley Springs, Charles Town, Martinsburg, Petersburg and Moorefield police departments; the Berkeley, Morgan and Jefferson County sheriffs' offices; and the West Virginia State Police's Troop 2 were on hand to receive the nationally recognized platinum award. The Harpers Ferry Police Department was also awarded a platinum award, but a representative was unable to attend the ceremony.

Officers from several area police agencies accept AAA Community Traffic Safety Awards on Tuesday on behalf of their departments. Pictured in the front row, from left to right, are Petersburg Police Chief John Shockey, Berkeley County Sheriff's Office Capt. Dennis Streets, West Virginia State Police Troop 2 Cpl. J.S. Chumley, Charles Town Police Capt. Glenn Stevens (accepting on behalf of the Harpers Ferry Police Department) and Berkeley Springs Police Chief Tim Johnson. Pictured in back row, from left to right, are Martinsburg Police Department Lt. Brian Yost; Charles Town Police Chief Chris Kutcher, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Lt. T.H. Hansen, Ranson Police Department Capt. Robbie Roberts, Moorefield Police Chief Steve Reckart and Morgan County Sheriff's Office Deputy First Class Dennis Jenkins.
The remaining department recognized Tuesday was the Ranson Police Department, which received a AAA gold award, the second-highest recognition that can be given. In addition, the Shepherdstown Police Department was awarded a AAA silver award.
"I do know that you folks are committed to what you do. It's not an easy job, but we're here today to recognize all of your efforts and your hard work," said J.J. Miller, AAA East Central Safety Advisor.
The departments were among hundreds nationwide that participated in the Community Traffic Safety Program and are among 103 state entrants recognized by AAA East Central. In order to be eligible for the annual awards, a community must conduct traffic safety promotions and educate the public on safety topics.
"Every action you do out there - I don't care if it's giving a citation or giving a warning - every time you do that you've actually really saved a life, not just for the people in that vehicle, but for the people who are sharing the roadways with those people who are committing those acts of aggressive driving, talking on cellphones, driving under the influence or anything like that," Miller said.
AAA East Central conducts a variety of free highway safety programs across West Virginia focusing on all age groups. The organization also partners with law enforcement and safety agencies on initiatives to improve the safety of the community and local highways. AAA East Central is a not-for-profit association with 82 local offices in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, New York and Kentucky serving more than 2.7 million members.
"I do know a lot of the departments now ask you to do more with less, yet every one of you persevered," said Miller. "You've addressed your mission and have had really successful results. On behalf on AAA, I want to say thank you so much for a job well done."
Representatives of the award-winning police agencies present Tuesday said it was an honor to accept the awards given by AAA that recognized their departments.
"We go out there, and we try to make the road safe. It's very nice that they come down and recognize us for our service and going out there to try to protect the citizens," Morgan County Sheriff's Deputy First Class Dennis Jenkins said.
Lt. T.H. Hansen of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said it's always a great honor to accept an award for the efforts that the deputies perform in his department.
"We have a great group of guys, and they go out of their way. It makes receiving awards like this easy, because they do a great job," Hansen said.
Capt. Robbie Roberts of the Ranson Police Department also said it was an honor to accept his department's gold award on behalf of the officers in the agency where he works.
"It's actually an honor, but I accept it on behalf of them because they do all the work. ... It's an honor and they've earned it," Roberts said.
Capt. Dennis Streets of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office said he was personally pleased that his department once again received a prestigious platinum award.
"It's fantastic that AAA recognizes the police officers for doing this," Streets said.

Even when it's without its towering Christmas tree, New York City's Rockefeller Plaza is a tourist mecca. There's the skating rink, NBC's windowed Today studios—and, starting Sept. 9, a 30-ft.-tall fiberglass sculpture that could be the whimsical love child of Hello Kitty, a Buddha and a portabello mushroom.
Meet Mr. Pointy—Tongari-kun in Japanese—star of a monthlong outdoor art installation, "Reversed Double Helix," by Takashi Murakami. Hot in the galleries—his sculpture of a would-be comic book heroine sold in May for $567,500—Murakami, 41, is better known to the American public for the Louis Vuitton handbags with candy-colored logos he helped design. At up to $4,500 apiece, the limited-edition bags had celebs waiting in line (and fakes for sale on every Manhattan street corner) earlier this year. But now anyone, for a few weeks, passing through Mid-town can enjoy an authentic Murakami free of charge.
Initially created for a New York children's hospital, "Reversed Double Helix," says Murakami, "began as a message to kids with death close at hand, telling them they would attain the highest good." Smiling beatifically from his perch on a discshaped frog, Mr. Pointy suggests ancient representations of Buddha on a lotus. "I want to take old religious legends and transpose them on cute characters of today," explains Murakami, who, though he holds a Ph.D. in classical Japanese nihonga painting, finds equal inspiration in saucer-eyed anime cartoons and the films of Steven Spielberg. "I cried when I saw E.T. as a child," says Murakami (okay, he was 20). "Sure, now I think that was stupid, but these watershed moments, when you experience such a feeling of pure emotion, are important."
Raised in Tokyo in a family of art-lovers and artists (his younger brother Yuji is a master of nihonga painting), Murakami says he has "no regard for the difference between high art and low culture." Or, it would seem, between sculpture and handbags, though some critics have questioned his choices. "The commission by Louis Vuitton was a bit controversial," admits Amada Cruz, who curated a 1999 Murakami show at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y. "But his work is so strong that he cannot be easily dismissed."
Which brings to mind that other artist with pop-culture instincts—Andy Warhol. Called the Japanese Warhol, a flattered Murakami says, "The nickname might stick for a few years, but it will fade in time." Still, he has no intention of settling for Warhol's famous 15 minutes. Single and keeping studios in Tokyo (where he enjoys near rock-star status) and Brooklyn, Murakami declares, "I want to keep on creating until I die."

The minor gaffe was just about the only thing to go wrong for Valdez and his Soaring Eagles in their season-opening victory -- a 48-6 rout of St. Anthony -- last night at Union City High School.
"It was a game that we circled," Valdez said. "We trained hard all summer and it was a game these guys wanted real bad."
In one of the more highly anticipated games of the season's opening weekend in Hudson County, Union City wanted little to do with theatrics -- not to mention a close game. The Soaring Eagles received dominant play from defensive linemen Kevin Arias, Carlos Vincent, Adrian Oceguerra and Jheison Perozo and capitalized on special teams to forge a 35-6 halftime lead.
The Friars' first three possessions of the game proved disastrous, as Union City foiled three straight punts, returning two for touchdowns.
The home squad grabbed a 7-0 lead when Kevin Arias blocked the Friars' first punt attempt, allowing Juan Cruz to scoop it up and score from 10 yards out at the 9:51 mark in the first quarter.
The next St. Anthony offensive series ended with a low, long snap that was never punted away, setting up a three-yard touchdown run from Union City's Steve Le on the very next play.
Angelo Martinez added to the first-quarter onslaught when he scored the Soaring Eagles' second special teams touchdown of the night. After Nick Espana blocked yet another punt, Martinez picked the ball up at the 5-yard line and stumbled into the end zone at 5:27 mark of the first quarter.
"That's basically all we practiced all week -- blocking punts," said Valdez, adding that the team didn't work on punt returns in the practices leading up to last night's game.
While the first half belonged to the Union City defense and special teams, junior quarterback Isaiah Moreira shined brightest in the latter stanzas. The second-year signal caller, who has benefited from improved decision making this season, impressed with touchdown runs of 37 and 11 yards.
Despite only throwing four passes, Moreira hooked with Roy Santiago on a beautiful 34-yard fade to the end zone just before halftime.
"Last year my coach put the training wheels on me. This year he took them off and gave me the green light," Moreira said. "Coaches called the fade and it worked out. We practiced it a lot during practice this week and it worked out."
Added Valdez: "Last year we had to be very careful with Isaiah. He made a lot of plays but we were very conservative with him."

Monday, March 11, marked the beginning of the third week of the civil trial against BP and its partners in the ill-fated Macondo oil well. The trial will be used to assign liability worth tens of billions of dollars for the explosion and collapse of the Deepwater Horizon rig in 2010, which killed 11 workers and caused one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history.
The case focuses on whether the actions of BP and its contractors leading up to the accident constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct, which could result in an eventual four-fold increase in fines under the Clean Water Act and the awarding of punitive damages for the private plaintiffs.
The news team at NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune will be there to cover every day of the trial. You can find comprehensive updates and analysis on our Gulf Oil Spill page, and you can follow business reporter Ricky Thompson on Twitter or in the window below.

The reason you are craving the celery is because it has something in it that you need. Possibly the iron. Your body knows this, and it knows where to get it. That is why you want it so bad. One or two stalks a day can not possibly be bad for you. I would be worried if you ate, like, 5-10 a day. I say keep it up! The weird feeling may be serotonin or other pleasure hormones being released because your body is getting what it wants. I'm not a doctor, though.

I'd stop eating it until you can find out if the feelings you are having when you consume it are normal (like what busybusymomma said!), or an allergic reaction.

Especially since you are with baby and all....

Try this:

"Celery contains active compounds called pthalides, which can help relax the muscles around arteries and allow those vessels to dilate. With more space inside the arteries, the blood can flow at a lower pressure. Pthalides also reduce stress hormones, one of whose effects is to cause blood vessels to constrict. When researchers injected 3-n-butyl phthalide derived from celery into laboratory animals, the animals' blood pressure dropped 12 to 14 percent. Of course, injection of a celery extract into laboratory animals is very far from food consumption by humans, and the researchers participating in this as yet unpublished study cautioned against overindulging in celery until clinical trials could be conducted with food and humans. But the potential helpfulness of this already nourishing food in lowering blood pressure seems likely, and it doesn't hurt that celery ranks as a very good source of potassium and a good source of calcium and magnesium, because increased intake of these minerals has also been associated with reduced blood pressure."

and http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CEFDD163DF93AA35755C0A964958260

I'm guessing maybe your BP is dropping and hence the tingly-ness. Aren't you around 28 weeks now? Your blood volume increases dramatically during this time and perhaps the combination of tons o' celery lowering your BP and your increased blood volume is a tad too much?

Background checks are least we can do
Recent mass killings with the use of firearms have sickened and frightened Americans, and moved many to urge stricter gun control. Certainly these events get our attention because of the numbers of victims, and sometimes, in the case of Newtown, Conn., the ages. The facts, however, reveal that gun violence is committed every single day in this country, and mostly in our own homes and on our own streets. Domestic violence is an epidemic. It is usually committed by people who know their victims, are emotionally charged, but not necessarily mentally ill, and have a gun at their immediate disposal.
The key words here are "guns at their immediate disposal." Impulse control is not good in these individuals. We are never going to totally prevent people from getting angry enough to kill someone, but we can limit their ability to act on their impulses in this very lethal way. To those who would say that we can't prevent the bad guys from getting guns, I would say, we can prevent some. To do nothing is to gamble with our lives. We have all kinds of rules regarding alcohol, cigarettes, the driving of cars, etc. Does it not make sense to limit gun ownership as well?
Certainly we have the right to own guns, but certain types of guns are beyond the pale when it comes to protection. At the very least, universal background checks are necessary. Enforcement of present laws is also necessary, and more people need to be hired to do this. The mentally ill need to be identified and treated, and the laws preventing us from demanding psychiatric evaluation of individuals need to be revised.
In short, my right to live is more important than your right to own a gun. The Declaration of Independence guarantees me "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." There is no liberty where there is no life.

Caroline's Daughters
The late Danny Thomas built a major career on his skill at telling full-flavored, dialect-rich stories of Irish renegades, rabbis, elderly Jews, priests and traveling salesman with car trouble. This autobiography could use more of the spice and seasoning that made Thomas a toast of the town and a few continents, but it is a genial summation of his life.
A snowstorm kept the local doctor away, so the future comic was born with the aid of a veterinarian, in Michigan in 1912. He began life as Muzyad Yakhoob ("Muzzy" for short), but when his Lebanese father Americanized the names of the 10 Yakhoob children, Muzyad became Amos Jacobs. Later, when he began working Chicago nightclubs, it was as Danny Thomas. Close friends like Frank Sinatra called him Jake; when riled, his wife. Rose Marie, called him Amos.
Thomas writes amusingly and poignantly of his large, loving family, the aunt and uncle who helped raise him, the struggles indigenous to a showbiz career. On a Lone Ranger radio show in Detroit, he was hired to make the sound of horses' hooves by beating his chest with toilet plungers. The "speaking" part consisted of whinnying. He was down to his last 85 cents a week before his first child. Margaret Julia (Mario), was born. His wife kept suggesting the grocery business would be a better career path.
There are a few of Thomas's signature stories, anecdotes about Presidents and showbiz pals who tease him about his religious faith ("Danny gets stopped by the highway patrol because he has stained-glass windows in his car." says Bob Hope), but the book works best when it chronicles the push from rags to riches.
Once Danny makes it to Hollywood (and resists all entreaties to have a nose job) and rises to sitcom fame, things lake on an "and then I wrote"" quality. Some of Thomas's comments about his children are distracting too. He notes, for example, that Mario, indulging her overprotective dad. would stay at the family home when visiting California without husband Phil Donahue. But, he assures us, "Marlo is a strong, self-sufficient woman who would be perfectly safe at the Beverly Hills Hotel." Quite a claim to make for a 53-year-old.
Still, Thomas's death in February gives the book the tone of a pleasant farewell. He writes, for instance: "Who would have thought that my youngest child. Tony [a partner in an independent production company], creator of The Golden Girls, would have turned out to be as spectacularly successful as he did?" Same to you. Danny boy. (Putnam, $22.95)
by Jack Higgins
In this streamlined but silly sequel to Higgins's popular 1975 World War II thriller, The Eagle Has Landed, it turns out that Nazi assassin Kurt Steiner did not die after all in his daring raid to kill Churchill in 1943. Steiner has been captured and held for a time in the Tower of London. For reasons that are entirely implausible. SS chief Heinrich Himmler decides Steiner must be rescued, and IRA mercenary Liam Devlin is put on the case. (This colorful Irishman also appeared in The Eagle Has Landed, as well as another Higgins novel of espionage. Touch the Devil.) The British, specifically Brig. Dougal Munro—a character in Higgins's Cold Harbour—are waiting for him.
As this covert operation—and the festival of self-referential fiction—unfolds, everyone plots and counterplots like mad, but Higgins withholds just enough to keep you flipping pages. He spins the tale out in an economical fashion, one not freighted with either style or cumbersome details.
Higgins (a pseudonym for Harry Patterson) does get sloppy. At one point, for instance, the narrator complains that he's out of whiskey. Four pages later he pours himself a hefty Bushmills.
Mostly, though, this Eagle flaps along determinedly, even bringing Hitler onto the scene at the end. It was clearly supposed to be a slam-bang finish but ends up as only a quiet slam and a little bang. (Simon and Schuster. $21.95)
by Alice Adams
Caroline Carter, "eminently a realist, a practical, sensible woman," and her third husband, Ralph (Caroline is his fourth wife), are back home in San Francisco after five years abroad. But to judge by this absorbing if ultimately schematic novel, maybe they should have stayed away longer.
Things are going on with Caroline's five daughters that Caroline—distant, non-intrusive Caroline—would doubtless prefer not to know about. For example, she would not like to know about the troubled marriage of eldest daughter Sage, a ceramicist who has not yet found success, "a manic depressive on a very short cycle" and the wife of beautiful, faithless Noel, a carpenter.
Caroline would not want to know that the self-involved Fiona, who can't cook but owns the trendiest restaurant in town, is about to begin an affair with Roland Gallo. the married lawyer-politico who in pre-Noel days was Sage's lover.
She wouldn't want to know that Jill, a yuppie lawyer, has a sideline she calls the Game: turning $1.000-a-night tricks. And Caroline also wouldn't like to know about Jill's affair with Sage's husband, Noel.
Liza and youngest daughter Portia, who describes herself as the "non-achieving sister." aren't in such great shape either.
Like so many Alice Adams heroines. Caroline's daughters are hungry for change: They want to change jobs, mates, locations—their lives. How well and wisely they do it is the subject of this novel.
Adams repeatedly uses the smallness of San Francisco as a metaphor for her characters' braided lives. Jill, buying a sexy peignoir at I. Magnin's to please Noel, runs into Sage in the elevator. Portia, at lunch with Ralph, looks out the window and sees Jill and Noel pass by, clearly up to no good.
Adams seems to be using the sisters to make a statement about the profligate '80s and, come to think of it. using the '80s to make a statement about the sisters. Before the '87 market crash, for instance. Fiona and Jill are riding high professionally and personally; post-crash. Fiona loses her lover, and Jill is almost killed in a car accident.
It's all a bit pat. And Adams's wonderfully trenchant observations—she writes of a character who "like many profoundly vulgar people is a stickler for what he calls 'taste' "—can't quite keep the novel up to the high standards she has set for herself in her previous fiction. (Knopf. $22)

On 9/20, I flew from PVD to LAX on US, via PIT. I took flight 592 out of Providence, which was operated by a 737-400, nonstop to Pittsburgh. The flight had about 100 passengers on it, and I found the jet to be extremely comfortable. The service was very friendly and hospitable, and just over an hour later, we touched down in the heart of Pennsylvania.
After an hour layover, I walked to gate C60 to board my 767-200ER nonstop to LAX. This was my first time on a US AIr widebody, and I must say, I was VERY impressed. The coach seat was very comfortable, with above average legroom. The duration of the flight was 4 hours and 50 minutes at 39,000 feet. 30 minutes after takeoff beverages were served, followed 20 minutes later by dinner (choices were Roast Beef and Ravioli...I had the Ravioli, which was very good), followed immediately by another round of drinks. About 30 minutes after dinner, coffee was served. The time flew bye, as I was listening to R.E.M classics on audio channel 12....it was the best audio program I have ever heard on any flight. The flight was very smooth, and we touched down on runway 25R about 15 minutes early. The 767 was so very nice...much better than Delta's.
After spending three great days in the L.A area, I boarded flight 49, a 757-200, for Pittsburgh. This red-eye flight wasn't totally full, so I had a whole row to myself. Overall a nice flight, although very bumpy at times. Service consisted of a round of drinks about 30 minutes after takeoff, which was adequate considering most people were sleeping after that. We landed in PIT about 5 minutes early after the 4 hour and 20 minute flight. Gotta love the 757!
I connected in PIT to an A319 for the flight back to PVD. The flight had about 85 passengers on it, and once again, no one in my row. It was raining pretty hard, but we took off, albeit 35 minutes late due to the weather. I found the Airbus to be comfortable, but surprisingly, not as nice as the 57, 67, or even the 37-400. The flight was a very short 1 hour and 2 minutes, and we landed about 10 minutes late.
Well that's all for now, gotta go write a paper. I'll report on my next trip, PVD-MSY on United, then MSY-PVD on US, in a little over a week. Until then, stay safe, and God Bless America!

I looked at the thread title and thought advertising, but saw that it was Sovieto so decided to take a look. That deal is pretty sweet for those who are going to be getting 360s as gifts, as long as they're aware of the deal.

"I knew we could do it," Murgatroyd, 27, told PEOPLE backstage after the show, reflecting on her and Maslow's first rehearsals at the beginning of the season.
Added Maslow, 23: "We couldn't have predicted the path of who would have been voted off each week. I think because it's been so strange and seemingly random, we were confident in what we could do, but you can never be too confident in staying. So we've got to keep that humility, and we've got to do better than we've done each week and that's all we can do."
After completing two routines on Monday, the pair was only four points shy of a perfect 80-point total. But going into the show, Maslow was coming off of a bout with food poisoning.
"I was in bed yesterday as soon as I left rehearsal," he said. "Luckily, I think it's just a 24-hour thing, so I'm starting to feel better. I'm going to try and get some actual real food in me after this. That would slow anyone's day down."
Now, as they look ahead to next week, they need to ace their freestyle – something Murgatroyd did when she won the mirror ball with Donald Driver during season 14.
"Hell yeah, we're going to be able to top that," the pro dancer said. "Donald texted us the other day, saying congratulations, and he was like, 'I might see another mirror ball coming your way soon.' He's really awesome."
Moving into this week of rehearsals, Murgatroyd calls it "do or die" time.
"It's such an important week," she said. "We need to bond more than ever this week and make sure we collaborate with all the ideas and just make sure we're on the same page and just kill this freestyle."
The pair will face off against Candace Cameron Bure and Mark Ballas; Amy Purdy and Derek Hough; and Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Excess ThoughtsErin Loechner
I've been going through… something. I'm having one of those soul-churning weeks, the ones where doubts and fears manifest as some sort of anxiety that is palpable, but that you can't fully realize. It's itchy, right beneath the skin, and you scratch and scratch until your body tells you, hey man – it's not me; it's in your head.
I blame Jen Hatmaker.
I've been reading 7 upon recommendation of a friend, and you guys. It's a very powerful story. Whether or not you attend church or attend iHop, believe in God or believe in denim, it is a truly incredible story of an American living in excess. (That "living in excess" part feels a bit redundant, as I'll venture to say most Americans reading this have Internet, which is a luxury in itself, yes?)
In 7, Jen seeks to come to terms with her own over-abundant life by conducting monthly experiments that trim the proverbial fat in many areas: clothes, spending, waste, food, possessions, media, stress. And if you're curious which particular chapter was written for me, co-signed by two jam-packed closets and over fifty pairs of shoes?
Yes. The clothes one.
As I type this, there are mounds and mounds of unwashed laundry waiting to be sorted in our utility room. The fact that I even own mounds of clothing that I can procrastinate washing because there are more outfits to be worn kind of leaves a pit in my stomach. Especially after reading this excerpt Jen quoted from a book titled Consumed:
In this new epoch in which the needy are without income and the wealthy are without needs, radical inequality is simply assumed … Inequality leaves capitalism with a dilemma: the over-producing capitalist market must either grow or expire. If the poor cannot be enriched enough to become consumers, then grown-ups in the First World who are currently responsible for 60 percent of the world's consumption, and with vast disposable income but few needs, will have to be enticed into shopping.
Holy moly yes.
And although I don't count myself as someone with "vast disposable income," I certainly consume as if I do. I'd venture to say that I'm not alone, most of us picking up a new dress for a special occasion here, an upgraded cutting board there. Owning more than three pairs of shoes is an abundance, but somewhere along the way we've been tricked into forgetting this.
I'm trying to chew this information, to sit quietly on it and ponder its purpose and place in my life. But in reality, I want to donate all of my clothes and shoes and accessories and wear the same dull, unadorned outfit daily. To reduce and appreciate and release the grips of consumerism in my life.
And maybe live in a yurt with a goat who provides us with sweaters and cheese.
Sure, a balance exists somewhere. But the trouble with balances is that they are tightropes – all too difficult to see from a hundred miles below. So until I find that balance, I'm going to let this information simmer with me, bubbling with ideas and thoughts and perspectives until – hopefully – it will overpower the mound of laundry on the floor, the overstuffed closets and toppling shoe piles.
And then maybe, truly, honestly, I'll trade it all for a goat.

These two are part two of an earlier post, featuring West Beach Grille and Baumhower's Restaurant. Next on my list is the Happy Harbor Sports Bar, followed by the Flora-Bama Lounge, both bars straddle the Alabama-Florida state line.
Happy Harbor Sports Bar boasts 20 televisions in two different rooms filled with sports memorabilia, including historical photographs from the Alabama, NFL and NASCAR. Where else at the beaches are you going to Pabst Blue Ribbon on draft for $1 with a dozen spicy wings and a view of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The Flora-Bama Lounge may be ground zero for watching the BCS Championship game. The Oyster Bar will be churning out delights like the 'Bama Burger, raw oysters on the half-shell and wings. Add more than 20 televisions and a slew of Alabama fans (and snowbirds cheering on Notre Dame), and the Flora-Bama's a best bet for Monday's game.

DeBoer pushes Devils in high-tempo practices; looking for team to be more agressive offensively
David Steckel, left, and Zach Parise during today's first practice session.
The Devils coaches didn't assign players to particular lines for the first practice of training camp today, so Zach Parise, Patrik Elias and Dainius Zubrus took it upon themselves to form their own line for the day at least.
"The coach didn't say anything, so we just kind formed our own line," Elias said. "That could change tomorrow."
So, I guess the point is not to read into anything form the line combinations today because head coach Pete DeBoer had nothing to do with them. (I was in the locker room when they did combinations with the second practice group, so I can't tell you what they were.)
If Parise, Elias and Zubrus do end up being a line, it appears they are comfortable playing togehter. Elias, who played center again today, and Zubrus played on the same line for much of last season. Elias centered a line with Parise on his left wing in 2007-08 and they've often played together on the power play and four-on-four situations as well.
"It was good." Parise said. "It's guys I'm comfortable with at least."
Center David Steckel said DeBoer's general theme today was "high tempo, short and sweet. I think those were two points that he tried to make for the most part. Playing against his team in Florida, they were high-tempo, hard-working team and I think he tried to instill that today in the first practice.:
"Not a lot of standing around," Parise said of the practice. "The drills were pretty high paced. There were a lot of guys moving throughout the whole drill and not a lot of rest in between, so your heart rate was up pretty much the whole time."
As far as demeanor, it wasn't much different with DeBoer, however, than other first days of camp with other new head coaches -- which the Devils have had quite a few of.
"Right now, it's more explaining how he wants things done," Parise said. "He didn't come in and crack any jokes or anything. This is the same it is with every new coach, explaining what he wants and how he wants us to play, so it was good."
After the practice, the players went in for a video session with DeBoer and the other coaches. That allowed the players to get a better idea of the kind of style DeBoer wants to implement.
"I think we're getting more and more familiar with it," Parise said. "Just from talking to him a little bit before camp and we watched a little video today, we've got an idea of what he's looking for and how he wants us to play, so I'm sure the next few days we'll practice the different things that we watched in the video and get accustomed to do them."
DeBoer showed them video of how his Florida Panthers played last season, so they could get an idea of what he's looking for from them.
As DeBoer promised, he's not changing much about what the team will do in the defensive zone.
"I think it's going to be pretty similar defensively," Parise said. "Just from watching the video, it's going to be the same. Where it looks like we're going to get more aggressive in different areas is to try to get more turnovers and keep pucks in in the offensive zone. Not back off so quickly and try and get a little more pressure throughout the ice and play five guys in the offensive zone. Get everyone involved to try and open things up a little bit."
There are some similarities to the way the team forechecked under Brent Sutter when he was the head coach in 2007-08 and 2008-09. That's not surprising because DeBoer served as an assistant under Sutter on Canada's 2005 world junor championship team and they are good friends. (Sutter offered DeBoer an assistant coach job in Calgary this summer, which DeBoer declined before he was hired by the Devils.
"To an extent, it's pretty similar as far as hard forechecking," Parise said of the systems under Sutter and DeBoer. "At least that's how we started with Brent. Towards the end, we kind of backed off a little bit. But I think it's pretty similar as far as the forechecking. I think it's a little different as far as getting the defensemen involved with the puck."
Getting the defensmen involved in the offensive zone is something the Devils started doing a little more under Jacques Lemaire in the second half of last season, but it is not something they have committed to much in the past.
"You've got to like it," Elias said. "(DeBoer) wants to play aggressive. We want to forecheck, be in their face. Defensively, there won't be too many changes from the way we played last year -- at least in the second half. He's saying the right things. Now, it's going to be up to us to make it work."
The Devils seem to like the changes DeBoer wants to make.
"I think in the past we were too passive positioning-wise probably a little too much and he wants to change that," Elias said. "He wants to be aggressive and turn the puck over as much as possible in the right places on the ice. But again, it's learning process. Today was just the first day. We were more worried about being OK on the ice."
Elias believes center is the team's biggest question with Travis Zajac out for at least the first month and a half of the season while recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon.
"I think the only question mark is the one in the middle, obviously, because Travis is going to miss for a while and it is a big loss for us, no question about it, with his responsibitlies offensively and defensively," Elias said. "The way he plays, he's going to be missed, but it's an opportunity for other guys to step in and get a chance right from the getgo. We saw the way the young guys played last year when they stepped in. The coach has to trust them. They're put in a situation where they have to prove that they can play in those situations and I think it's an exciting time for those guys."

A new poll just released by Rasmussen Reports shows Republican Sen. John Cornyn with a too-close-for-comfort 7 percentage point lead over Democratic challenger Rick Noriega.
The same poll shows Republican presidential candidate John McCain with a solid if unspectacular nine percentage point lead over Democrat Barack Obama in Texas, 52 percent to 43 percent. It's the fourth consecutive month that Rasmussen shows McCain nine points ahead of Obama.
The Rasmussen poll finds Cornyn, a San Antonio Republican, at 50 percent and Noriega, a Democratic state representative from Houston, at 43 percent. Cornyn held an 11-point lead in the previous Rasmussen poll, conducted in August.
Rasmussen polls on the Senate race have been more erratic than other surveys and have, at times, shown a closer race than other polls. But Noriega, who is trailing by a wide margin in fundraising, can use any good news he can get.
The new poll shows Cornyn particularly strong among independent, unaffiliated voters — 50 percent to 33 percent. There is no gender gap: Cornyn leads among men by eight points and among women by six. Cornyn's favorability rating is a strong 57 percent.
Cornyn campaign spokesman Kevin McLaughlin's dismissed the new poll numbers.
"We don't put a lot of credence in polls.," he told the Chronicle's Kyle Pendergast. "Our internal numbers tell a different story."
Noriega spokeswoman Holly Shulman, however, said the Rasmussen numbers reflect momentum for her candidate.
"Cornyn has spent millions of special interest dollars on TV and we've seen this race get closer," she said. "Texans are excited about Rick Noriega, excited about change and are tired of an out-of-touch senator that doesn't represent them."

Many Mountain State Forest Festival attendees like to conclude their weekend of activities at the festival, which kicks off this Saturday and continues to Oct. 7, with a brunch at Graceland Inn before they leave town. Elkins residents, along with their festival guests, also like to eat there.
Once again, College Aid is sponsoring a brunch buffet at this grand former home of Sen. Henry Gassaway Davis. It will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 7.
Reservations with Graceland Inn are requested by calling 304-637-1600. Tables are available indoors or outdoors. On sunny, crisp days, many prefer to eat on the porch in order to enjoy the view of the town and mountains beyond.
Included in the menu are tossed garden salad with choice of dressing; pasta salad; scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage; blintz with peaches, strawberries and whipped cream; carved grilled flank steak with spicy barbecue sauce; three-cheese stuffed chicken breast with cream sauce; whipped potatoes and fiesta green beans; orange cake, fruits of the forest pie and carrot cake.
Proceeds from the brunch will benefit College Aid, a women's organization founded in 1931 to help furnish and maintain the dormitories on Davis & Elkins College campus. For many years both Halliehurst and Graceland housed students, and purchases of lamps, rugs, curtains, and other needed items for these buildings are recorded in College Aid minutes. The club has given funds especially to help restore and renovate Halliehurst, the large home built by Sen. Stephen Benton Elkins, where the Forest Festival public reception following the coronation of Queen Sylvia is held.
The members meet monthly to enjoy programs presented by faculty, students, and members of the college administration, as well as to hear speakers from the larger community.
The aim of the organization is to foster good campus-community relationships and to aid the college whenever called upon to do so. Officers for 2012-2013 are President Dr. Jean Minnick, Vice President Arlena Straw, Secretary Jane Trimble and Treasurer Robin Price. Guests and prospective members are welcome at meetings, and anyone wishing to join College Aid can contact one of the officers.

New Cortland park continues to develop
CORTLAND - Pearl Park has continued to develop since the city bought the four-acre property in February 2010.
"It's been a great addition to the park system, especially with the soceer programs that go on there," Mayor Curt Moll said.
He said the soccer program was partially responsible for the addition of a 55-vehicle parking lot which was completed last year. The playground area was excavated with new drainage, and was brought up to ADA standards with a 12-inch layer of Fibar, engineered wood fibers.
Construction has begun on new dugouts for the softball field; the cost of which will be split between the city and the Lakeview Athletic Club.
The Lakeview Board of Education sold the property to the city for $15,000 after the adjacent Cortland Elementary School was bought at auction for $10,000 by a Missouri man in November 2009.
Moll said the city is continuing to explore alternative uses for the parks's paved area and is hoping to put a trail around it one day.

It's all political. The scientific community realizes the gravity of what we're doing to this planet and if we continue, our future is very much uncertain.
Any small thing to disrupt the current cycles of the earth could have immense consequences for all life.
Few people realize that this planet has gone through many mass extinctions before human beings came along. That's why we have to be careful, but there's too many dumb****s who believe we're invincible and who don't know the science or the volatility of life on this planet.

From the Met office link:
An article by David Rose appears today in the Mail on Sunday under the title: Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released and here is the chart to prove it
It is the second article Mr Rose has written which contains some misleading information, after he wrote an article earlier this year on the same theme you see our response to that one here.
To address some of the points in the article published today:
Firstly, the Met Office has not issued a report on this issue. We can only assume the article is referring to the completion of work to update the HadCRUT4 global temperature dataset compiled by ourselves and the University of East Anglias Climate Research Unit.
We announced that this work was going on in March and it was finished this week. You can see the HadCRUT4 website here.
Secondly, Mr Rose says the Met Office made no comment about its decadal climate predictions. This is because he did not ask us to make a comment about them.
That's three sources. The Guardian source is pretty worthless, just like the Daily Mail source you posted. The second source is a blog but it's fairly technical and goes into detail about why the Daily Mail was wrong to draw those conclusions. And the third link is the British Met office which explains why the Mail isn't just mistaken, it's dishonest.

I took my little Jenny to a party last night
At ten o'clock it ended in a heckuva fight
When someone hit my Jenny she went out like a light
Poor Jenny
And then some joker went and called the cops on the phone
So everybody scattered out for places unknown
I couldn't carry Jenny so I left her alone
Poor Jenny
Well Jenny had her picture in the paper this mornin'
She made it with a bang
Accordin' to the story in the paper this mornin'
Jenny is the leader of a teenage gang
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
Her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail
Poor Jenny
I went downtown to see her, she was locked in a cell
She wasn't very glad to see me, that I could tell
In fact, to tell the truth, she wasn't lookin' too well
Poor Jenny
Her eye was black, her face was red, her hair was a fright
She looked as though she'd been a'cryin' half of the night
I told her I was sorry, she said "Get out of sight"
Poor Jenny
It seems a shame that Jenny had to go get apprehended, a heckuva fate
This party was the first one she ever had attended
It had to happen on our very first date
Jenny has a brother and he's hot on my trail
Her daddy wants to ride me out of town on a rail
I hope I'll be around when Jenny gets out of jail
Poor Jenny

TV, phones and internet take up almost half our waking hours
18 August 2010UKconsumers are spending almost half (45 per cent) of their waking hours watching TV, using their mobiles and other communications devices, new Ofcom research reveals today.
We're now sending four times as many texts per day than in 2004, spending almost a quarter of our internet time on social networking sites and spending 3 hours and 45 minutes per day watching TV.
We're also using several types of media at the same time - with the average person cramming 8 hours 48 minutes of media into just over seven hours during the average day.
The growing popularity of smartphones - and the changing way we use our mobiles - is increasing our overall use of communications, and helping us do much more simultaneously.
This is being particularly driven by the under 25s, although the over 55s are catching up, with half now having broadband at home - the fastest growing age group.
Communication fast facts 2010
- 89 per cent have or use a mobile phone
- 92 per cent of UK homes have digital TV
- 14 per cent live in a mobile-only household
- A record 104 billion texts were sent in 2009
- That works out as 1700 texts for every person in the UK
- Time spent on fixed internet has increased by over two-thirds since 2008
- Adults now spend 14.2 hours per month on the web
- 15 per cent of UK adults have mobile broadband
- Take-up of mobile broadband increased by 8 per cent among 15 to 24s and by 3 per cent among 35-54s
- Data volumes over mobile networks increased by 240 per cent in 2009
- A record number of people listened to the radio - 46.5 million adults listened on a weekly basis by the first quarter of 2010
More for less
But while we are doing more, it is costing us less.
For the fifth year in a row, our spending on communications services has decreased.
Ofcom's annual Communications Market Report into the UK's TV, radio, telecoms and internet industries shows that real household monthly spend on communication services fell 9.4 per cent over the past five years to £91.24, as more people choose to buy their services in discounted bundles.
The report also shows that traditional media is far from dead, with TV retaining a central part in our lives, particularly in the evening.
Communications services
Peter Phillips, Ofcom Partner, Strategy & Market Developments, said: 'For the first time we can see just how central media and communications are to our lives - on average we use them for nearly half our waking hours.
'Increasingly, mobile devices - especially smartphones - are used for multi-media, but live evening TV still remains the main entertainment event of the day.
'Younger people have shown the biggest changes in how we use media - particularly using different media at the same time.
'But the divide between younger and older people's use of technology is starting to narrow as more older people are getting online and finding that things like email are very important to them. 'Consumers are using communications services more - phone calls, texting and the internet. Yet they are paying less despite getting more, partly through buying in bundles.'

Below is a more in-depth look at how we're using our communications in 2010.
Mobiles, smartphones and media multi-tasking
Media multi-tasking - where, for example, you make a phone call while surfing the internet - now accounts for one fifth of all media consumed throughout the day - and the younger the person, the more this happens.
Ofcom's research found that:
- Among 16-24s, almost a third (29 per cent) of their media activity is simultaneous, compared to just over one eighth (12 per cent) for people aged over 55;
- UK consumers are now generally using a single device - typically their mobile phone - for more than one type of media and communications use;
- There has also been a surge in smartphone ownership - up 81 per cent from 7.2 million users in May 2009 to 12.8 million in May 2010;
- In June 2010, over a quarter of people in the UK (26.5 per cent) said they had a smartphone, more than double the number two years previously;
- In the first three months of 2010 nearly a quarter of adults (23 per cent) accessed content or sent emails on their mobile phones - among 15-24s this rises to 45 per cent;
- Surfing the internet via mobile phones is the fastest growing mobile media activity with 1 million new users during the first quarter of 2010 (taking the total to 13.5 million, compared to 9 million in the first quarter of 2009);
- A fifth (20 per cent) of the time 16-24s spend social networking is on a mobile;
- In the second quarter of 2010, 63 per cent of new mobile contracts were for 24 months, compared to just 3 per cent in Q2 2008, making smartphones more affordable for consumers as costs are spread over a longer period of time.
Consumers still attached to their TVs and radio
How we use our media throughout the day
Although media multi-tasking is widespread, half of people consume only one type of media in the evening.
This peak-time evening media use is driven by people watching scheduled live television through their TV set, an activity mainly undertaken on its own rather than with other media.
The time people spend watching TV remains stable, with the average person watching 3 hours and 45 minutes of TV per day.
And despite the growing choice in technology and services available, watching TV remains the activity that most adults would miss the most.
Compared to 2007, a growing number of 16-24s (8 percentage points) and over 55s (7 percentage points) say that watching TV is the activity they would miss the most.
Catch-up TV usage grows
It's not just scheduled live television which continues to be popular.
Ofcom's consumer research from the first quarter of 2010 shows that almost a third of households with internet access used it to watch online catch-up TV - up 8 per cent over the year.
Nearly a quarter of people (22 per cent) say they have bought a HD-ready TV set in the last 12 months and sales of HD ready TV sets have now passed 24 million in the UK.
Five million households have now also signed up to HD services through pay TV, freesat and Freeview services.
Although the continuing demand for TVs could be partly explained by falling prices and digital switchover, it also suggests that consumers are as attached to their TVs as they ever were and are hungry for more channels and better picture quality.
It also highlights the potential for fast growth of other services through TV sets such as internet, or of new technologies such as 3DTV.
Younger and older people embracing technology but in different ways
Ofcom's research found that 16-24s are the most efficient users of communications services , squeezing 9.5 hours of media consumption into just over 6.5 hours actual time and spending the largest part of this time on computers and mobiles.
Over two thirds (67 per cent) of the time that younger people spend on the internet on a computer is spent communicating with other people, comprised of 29 per cent social networking, 19 per cent email and 19 per cent instant messaging.
Twenty per cent of 16-24s have accessed the internet through a games console and just a quarter of the time they spend on their mobiles is on voice calls. There is also a growing use of technology among older people, although they typically focus on a narrower range of services.
In 2009 growth in internet take-up appears to have been driven by older age groups. For the first time half (50 per cent) of over 55s have broadband at home and they consider emails to be the most important media activity, with 36 per cent of over 55s using email each day and 47 per cent using email at least once a week.
Social networking grows across all ages groups
Younger people are more likely to access social networking sites, with 61 per cent of 15-34s claiming to do so, compared to 40 per cent of all adults - up 10 per cent on 2008.
But it is by no means exclusively a young person's activity.
Nearly half of 35-54s claim to use social networking sites, as do 20 per cent of 55-64s - the latter showing a 7 per cent increase over the past year.
Social networking accounts for nearly a quarter of all time spent on the internet (23 per cent compared to 9 per cent in 2007).
This has been driven by the rapid growth of Facebook - which is up 31 per cent - and the average Facebook user spent 6 hrs and 30 minutes on the site during May 2010.
Facebook was also the most popular mobile internet site in terms of time spent, accounting for almost half (45 per cent) of total time spent online on mobiles in December 2009.
Men, women and their media
Men spend nearly an hour more per day using media than women - an average of 7 hours 33 minutes per day compared with 6 hours 38 minutes.
Men (25 per cent) are also more likely than women (21 per cent) to use their phones to access the internet although over the past year the gap between the proportions of men and women who use their mobiles for web access has halved from 8 percentage points to 4 percentage points.
Women use their phones more in their own time than at work (71 per cent landline calls, 85 per cent mobile calls), compared to men (54 per cent landline calls, 63 per cent mobile calls).
Women said that they would miss their mobile phone (15 per cent) and landline (8 per cent) more than men (12 per cent mobile phones, 2 per cent landlines) and, while women rate social networking on a computer as a more important activity to them than men, they spend about the same amount of time doing it daily (18 minutes compared with 20 minutes).
Usage up, spending down
Households are consuming more communications and media - more voice calls, more texts, more data and more TV viewing.
But communications spend now accounts for a lower proportion of total household expenditure (4.4 per cent in 2009 compared to 4.6 per cent in 2008) and overall household spend on telecoms services has fallen by over 17 per cent in real terms in the last five years.
The trend to buy communications services in bundles has also grown significantly over past five years.
Rise in 'bundled' communications services
Half of all UK households now buy two or more services from a single provider compared to 29 per cent in 2005. Seventy per cent of people with a bundle said that the main reason for taking one was because it was cheaper.
The recession also led to a change in consumer opinion about the deals operators offer. Eighty-eight per cent of consumers believed that at least one operator was offering better deals than they were 12 months ago. Only 13 per cent thought that no providers were offering better deals compared to 25 per cent a year ago.
Consumers are also now more likely to use online shopping to search for better deals.
Just over half (53 per cent) of respondents with broadband access agreed they were more likely to use the internet to shop, while 61 per cent say they now use price comparison websites more frequently.
