I've had a lot of people ask me where I bought certain, unusual pieces in my wardrobe and the truth is - they are from thrift stores.
Sometimes I'll find something and it needs a little TLC, but usually it's good as-is.
Here are some ways to inject a little vintage into your modern style.
Cat-eye liner
I pretty much rock one version or another of this every day. I find that even if I'm wearing a T-shirt and jeans (required for work), I still feel elegant as I'm making coffee or nuking an oatmeal cookie in the microwave.
Apply neutral eye shadow all over the eyelid or no eye shadow (that's usually what I do) and do a precise black line from one third of the way in from the inner corner of your eye to the end of your eyelid on the opposite side.
Fact Box
|About me
|I'm just a thrifty girl with a keen eye for beauty and fashion. Just ask my friends (and their teenage daughters). They frequently ask to borrow my clothes, teach them how to apply makeup and to advise them on what to wear for special occasions.
|More importantly, they ask me how to stay current and fashionable in this economy without breaking the bank. I'm all about finding personal style and accentuating natural assets.
|Don't know what goes best with that little black dress? Want to give yourself a facial for mere pennies? Care to score some clothes for free? Your gorgeousness guru is here to help!
Keep going or add a very thin upwards flick at the end. Repeat for the other eyelid. Apply lots of mascara. This makes your eyes stand out and works well with pretty much any outfit, vintage or modern.
LBD: The little
black dress
We've discussed it before, but I can't stress it enough. Every woman needs her go-to little black dress.
Mine is a sleeveless fingertip-length sheath from J.Crew. I like to add fishnets and colored flats with a matching belt to my LBD, but it also looks great with a scarf or cardigan.
If you don't have one, get one - preferably something similar to Audrey Hepburn's classic LBD in "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
Diamonds (and pearls!) are a girl's best friend
Nothing classes up your look or gives it a vintage nod like a string of pearls or diamond studs. Can't afford the real thing? Me neither! I proudly wear my fakes.
I like to buy mine from Kohl's or the thrift store - just make sure you clean any earrings with alcohol before you wear them to prevent an infection. They will look great with your LBD.
Broaches and bows
I love me a sparkly broach. I pin them on cardigans and belts, and often in my hair instead of a hairpin. I also add bows to the side of a bun, or clipped a few inches to the right of my part.
Both items are super-girly and can be found at the thrift store or made for less than $1. Get out your glue gun and make some hairpieces.
Rock or fake
that hourglass
I am a big believer in belts to accentuate or create an hourglass figure.
Whether you are wearing a sweater and jeans or a full-skirted dress, a belt really can take your outfit from simple to smokin'.
Invest in some cheap belts from the thrift store, they almost always are just $1. If you really want to "vintage it up," match your belt and shoes.
The '90s are baaaaaaaaack -
raid your own closet
I'm kind of wishing they weren't (especially since my daughter discovered a hideous flowered hat a la Blossom), but the '90s in all their floral, grungy glory are back in style. You have my permission to dig out your old granny dresses and combat boots.
Denim vests, plaid flannels and overalls all are back on trend. I'm wary of all this stuff because I was a teenager in the '90s, but if you can make a crop top and baggy jeans work, more power to you.
I will be unearthing my floral baby doll dresses and pairing them with cardigans, tights and boots. (Does contempo casuals still exist?)
There is something so right about buying from the Salvation Army, Good Will or any other thrift shop in the area. They've got great stuff!
Besides, vintage pieces are very feminine and oh-so glamorous. You can be more playful and less mainstream with your look by wearing thrift store picks. Go ahead and add a little vintage to your look.

K.B. Clancy, J.L. Elliot, M.J. Person (MIT), A.S. Bosh (Boston Univ. & Lowell), M.W. Buie, E.W. Dunham, L.H. Wasserman (Lowell), S.E. Levine, R.C. Stone (USNO)
In order to predict the occultations of the stars P126 and P131.1 by Pluto on 2002 July 20 (UT) and August 21 (UT), respectively (see J.L. Elliot et al., 2002, BAAS 34, 877; Buie et al., 2002, BAAS 34, 877; Sicardy, et al., 2002, BAAS 34, 877), astrometric data sets were acquired on several telescopes. The data analyzed for the occultation predictions spanned more than three months (2002 May - 2002 August) and included 189 strip scans from the Lowell Astrograph, 22 frames from the USNO 1.55m, and 61 frames from the Lowell 0.6m at CTIO. The final prediction for closest approach distance appears to be within 100 km (about 0.005") of the observed closest approach for the P126 occultation, and within 200 km (about 0.01") for the P131.1 occultation (note that the angular half light radius of Pluto is about 0.06"; see Clancy et al., 2002, BAAS 34, 873; final predictions are at http://occult.mit.edu/research/occultations/Candidates/Predictions/P126.html and http://occult.mit.edu/research/occultations/Candidates/Predictions/P131.1.html). Pluto's position in these frames was determined relative to a UCAC astrometric reference network (Zacharias et al., 2000, AJ 120, 2131), with a dual-source model fit to the blended Pluto-Charon image. The Pluto-Charon offset was fixed with JPL Horizon's Ephemeris (PLU006 and DE-0406, LE-0406), and the Pluto-Charon light ratio was fixed at recent values (updated from Buie et al., 1997, Icarus 125, 233). The residuals of Pluto's measured position from its ephemeris were then fit with a sinusoid of fixed period (Charon's orbital period), while phase, offset, and amplitude were left as free parameters. The fitted phase and amplitude are mutually consistent for all data sets, and the relative amplitude of the RA and Dec sinusoids agree with the relative amplitude of Charon's orbital motion. This implies either an incorrect Charon to Pluto mass ratio (0.12 was used to calculate the ephemeris), or that we used incorrect Pluto-Charon light ratios in this reduction. This work was funded in part by NASA grant NAG5-10444 and NSF grant AST-007 3447.

Ever inventive ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro loves surprising audiences by performing unique arrangements of familiar songs. On his recent "Live" album, he dazzled us with a solo ukulele version of Michael Jackson's megahit "Thriller," and now, on an upcoming release, he tackles one of the greatest rock songs of all time - Queen's epic "Bohemian Rhapsody."
"I like to arrange something that's recognizable to a lot of people because they don't expect to hear a song like that on the ukulele," says Jake. "On my new CD I arranged 'Bohemian Rhapsody' for ukulele. I just started playing it at shows on tour and people absolutely love it."
The vocals alone on Queen's magnum opus required 180 separate overdubs, so Jake knew he faced a formidable task.

Can the ukulele save the world? Listen to JAKE
"It was very difficult," he continues. "It's so orchestrated and has so many things going on at once, and it even has a gong at the end. But I thought it would be the perfect challenge for the ukulele. A solo ukulele arrangement is the complete opposite approach to the classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' that we all know and love."
Recorded with a band and guest Honolulu Symphony violinist Iggy Jang, the new album should be out by September.
"It's mainly original pieces and I really tried to take advantage of multitracking with this album," he reports. "I'm doing some ballads, some progressive fusion rock stuff, some classical sounding pieces and some jazz pieces. I'm excited about the album."
Fact Box
* Jake Shimabukuro plays at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. He will be joined by Noel Okimoto on drums, Dean Taba on bass, Michael Grande on keyboards, and Honolulu Symphony Concertmaster Iggy Jang on violin. Tickets are $40, $30 and $12 plus applicable fees, available at the MACC box office, 242-7469 or www.mauiarts.org.
Besides impressing with his extraordinary artistry and ability to venture into uncharted territory, Jake hopes his new music will inspire and uplift folks. Lately he's even been talking about the ukulele as an instrument of peace.
"I firmly believe that because I think the ukulele is the only instrument in the world where you can just say the name and it will make you smile," he explains. "When I travel to different places and I'm at the airport or in a restaurant with my ukulele case people always ask, what's in the case? They're expecting me to say a violin, but when I say it's a ukulele they immediately smile, and share a story about how they were in Hawaii.
"It's an instrument that promotes conversation; it encourages people to let their guard down. It's so friendly and inviting. Sometimes I think of the ukulele as the Facebook of musical instruments, because there's a community of ukulele friends. There's a whole network of ukulele players. All over the world there are ukulele orchestras and bands, and a lot of rock and pop artists are now starting to incorporate ukulele into their music. One of my favorite bands, Train, has a hit at the moment, 'Hey, Soul Sister,' and it's all ukulele from, beginning to end. When I first heard it on radio I thought it must be a local band from Hawaii. I couldn't believe my ears."
To help promote his vision of the ukulele, Jake has spearheaded the Music is Good Medicine nonprofit organization, armed with a mission of employing music as a vehicle to encourage people to serve their communities while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and positive attitude.
On the MGM Web site Jake pronounces: "This tiny, four-string instrument is a universe of joy and healing, with a childlike quality about it that returns us to our youth and energizes our mind, body and spirit. I believe that everything in our universe is connected. We are all intertwined in a web of energy. Music helps us to tap into that energy and discover things we never thought possible by allowing us to express ourselves. And, by simply expressing who we are, we project positive energy back into the universe, which ultimately makes this world a better place."
To help raise funds Jake has designed a special, affordable Takamine ukulele, with proceeds supporting his "Four Strings for Kids" program, which provides ukuleles to school kids.
"I really believe there should always be some kind of message tied into music, that it should always have a purpose," he enthuses. "For me music should always be positive and healing and make people feel good, maybe inspire people to do something like get involved in their community or figure out what their passion is in life. I really enjoy visiting schools because it gives me an opportunity to use music as a vehicle to motivate students or get them excited to find something that they love. I like to share with them a little bit about my life and how I grew up. Because of the ukulele I'm completely drug free. I've never got arrested or got into too much trouble for anything, because the ukulele was such a positive influence in my life."
Taught by his mother, Jake began strumming a ukulele at the age of 4. Discovering a natural affinity for the instrument, he would practice into the late hours, sometimes having to be gently scolded by his parents to stop playing and sleep.
After time with Pure Heart, and then the group Colon, this animated artist set off on his own creating his own, unique voice on ukulele. Soon he was being hailed as the "Jimi Hendrix" of the uke, and a YouTube video of the young virtuoso's exquisite cover of George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," recorded in New York's Central Park, transformed him into a global phenomenon.
Routinely amazing and delighting audiences at his live shows, an All About Jazz review raved: "His melodies floated like clouds when he brought a tune down to a soft purr, or low whisper, then gradually built it back up into a blaze as palpable as it was astonishing. Upon catching fire, his right hand was a blur. Between numbers, one audience member could be heard yelling out what many were feeling at the moment, 'Jake, you're a god.' "
Attracting the attention of leading artists, in the last few years he's toured and recorded with Jimmy Buffett and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones; performed with classical legend Yo Yo Ma on his Grammy-winning CD, "Songs of Joy and Peace"; and teamed with reggae star Ziggy Marley, playing ukulele on the song "Beach in Hawaii," featured on the Grammy-winning album "Love is My Religion."
With a repertoire that seems boundless, Jake plays it all, from jazz, blues, rock and funk, to classical, bluegrass, flamenco and Japanese folk. He masterfully interprets material as varied as a Nicolo Paganini "Caprice," to Chick Corea's jazz classic "Spain," featured on his latest "Live" CD.
And he loves confounding limiting perceptions of the ukulele's abilities.
"What I like about touring is audiences always have such low expectations," he notes. "So there's that element of surprise. When you play something they're not expecting to hear, they're kind of in shock, and they're experiencing something for the very first time, and that alone brings a certain type of joy. I love it because not only am I bringing positive energy with music, the element of surprise makes people smile, and they walk away feeling good."
He brought smiles to many faces in December at a special concert in Blackpool, England, before Queen Elizabeth II. Invited to perform with entertainer Bette Midler, he played at the Royal Variety Performance, along with Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus and Michael Buble.
"That was absolutely fantastic, I really had a great time," he says. "It was the most nervous I've ever been meeting someone, shaking hands with royalty, and meeting the queen, and of course sharing the stage with Bette Midler. I played (the Beatles') 'In My Life' with her. It was a once in a lifetime experience."
And how was the queen?
"She looked at me and said, 'You play such a beautiful instrument.' I said, 'Oh, thank you very much,' and I kept bowing the whole time. As soon as she entered the room I started bowing."

Aeros' Packer shuts down SeaWolves
Erie SeaWolves right-hander Patrick Cooper had his best outing of the season on a chilly Friday night at Jerry Uht Park.
But he had nothing to show for it. Neither did the SeaWolves, who couldn't solve Akron left-hander Matt Packer in a 3-0 loss to the Aeros in front of 2,670 fans.
Packer allowed five hits, walked none and struck out 10 over seven innings to outduel Cooper, who matched zeroes until the Aeros broke through with two runs in the seventh and one more in the eighth.
Cooper finished with three earned runs on seven hits in eight innings.
"He pitched outstanding," said manager Chris Cron, who needed Cooper to work deep into the game after using five pitchers in a rain-delayed 8-6 home win against Harrisburg on Thursday. "Normally when you give up three runs, you're going to win a lot of ballgames."
Cooper, who entered this start with a 2-3 record and 5.02 earned-run average this season, quickly settled into a rhythm. He retired the first six batters, then used a double play to keep the Aeros (22-26) off the scoreboard in the top of the third. After perfect innings in the fourth and fifth, Cooper faced his first jam in the sixth, as Ronny Rodriguez led off the inning with a double and moved to third on Giovanny Urshela's sacrifice bunt.
But Cooper induced Jose Ramirez to pop out into foul territory, and then Tyler Holt's liner to center ended the threat. Cron didn't hesitate to send Cooper back out for the seventh.
"I was thinking he might go nine innings," Cron said. "It was pretty easy for him."
Cooper allowed another leadoff double in the seventh, this time to Cedric Hunter.
Eugenio Suarez saved a run with a leaping grab of Jesus Aguilar's liner to shortstop. Then Quincy Latimore grounded out to short. Yet Cooper couldn't get out of that jam. A two-out walk and Roberto Perez's two-run double in front of a diving Daniel Fields in right-center field finally snapped the scoreless tie. Akron added an insurance run in the top of the eighth on Holt's run-scoring single, which was more than enough for Packer.
"He's a crafty pitcher," Cron said of Packer.
He baffled the SeaWolves (28-18) with an array of off-speed pitches for a second straight outing. He overcame Suarez's two-double in the third by getting Hernan Perez to ground out. Fields, who was back in the SeaWolves' lineup after missing the previous three games with a bruised rib, lined a two-out triple in the sixth. But Packer struck out Tyler Collins, and then worked around a leadoff error in the seventh to keep his shutout intact.
Bryce Stowell struck out the side in the ninth for the Aeros.
"He got the short end of the stick," Cron said of Cooper.
- News and notes: Collins was ejected by home-plate umpire Chris Tipton in the bottom of the ninth for flipping his bat in disgust after a called third strike. Then Collins argued a bit before slamming his helmet to the dirt for the second time in the game. ... Al Nipper, a former major league pitcher and the Detroit Tigers' current minor-league pitching coordinator, was in attendance. ... SeaWolves right-hander Warwick Saupold (3-1, 2.67 ERA) pitches against Aeros right-hander Paolo Espino (1-1, 4.56) in today's 7:05 p.m. game.

by Lloyd Goodrich
When Thomas Eakins was a young man, the nude female models in his life class at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts wore masks to hide their identity. That, as this beautifully illustrated two-volume biography makes clear, was only a slight reflection of the painter's lifelong battle with the codes of late-Victorian Philadelphia and the close-mindedness of the American art establishment. Eakins, whose fascination with anatomy was often confused with prurient interest, was eventually forced to resign as the academy's director for insisting that women students draw male nudes. More unfortunately, while he is now acknowledged to be one of America's greatest realist painters, Eakins in his lifetime never achieved the critical and popular acclaim of Winslow Homer or John Singer Sargent. With thorough, readable scholarship, Goodrich, a noted art expert, traces Eakins' career from his early days as a student in Europe to his final years in Philadelphia, where he died at 71 in 1916. Philadelphia provided him with a backdrop for his dazzling urban landscapes, such as Max Schmitt in a Single Scull, where the play of light and sun is rendered exquisitely. And Eakins' portraits of the city's most upstanding citizens, here reproduced handsomely, are powerful and uncompromising. (Eakins' passion for the anatomical truth underneath flesh or social fripperies could not be quenched. During a session with Josephine Kern Dodge, 39, the buxom wife of a successful businessman, Eakins came over and dug his fingers into her chest. "For heaven's sake, Tom," she snapped, "What are you doing?" "Feeling for bones," he replied.) While he lived, Eakins gave only the sparest biographical facts to reporters. "For the public I believe my life is all in my work," he once said. Still, he would surely have admired this richly documented work. It exudes a truthfulness and clarity not unlike an Eakins portrait. (National Gallery of Art/Harvard, $75)

"He's okay even if we fall short on targets. And if we ask him to come along to meet a client, he simply can't be bothered. It's like he's just biding his time before retirement," laments the sales manager. "He's been with the organisation for a long time and knows his bosses well, so he feels his job is secure." A lazy boss can be bad news for a team that's ambitious and raring to go. Such a boss can affect the team's morale and engender despondency among the staff.

ANDY MURRAY has admitted he will face his biggest test since returning from back surgery in his blockbuster against Roger Federer at the Australian Open this morning. The Scot is playing in his second tournament since going under the knife last September and has played three players outside the top 110 in the first four rounds of the Australian Open. And, as he looked ahead to this morning's quarter final clash in Melbourne, he revealed even he does not know if he is ready to face the greatest player of all time. "I'll find out when I get on court," he said. "It'll be the highest level I've played at since the surgery."
The match is due to start at around 8.30am this morning and our live blog will cover all the action and build up with any breaking news.
We're not too far away from the match beginning with everything still running on schedule in Melbourne. We'll warm up with some of the breaking news from Melbourne.
The Australian Open will have a new women's champion after Victoria Azarenka joined the purge of the favourites in Melbourne. After fourth-round exits for Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, Azarenka was toppled by a superb display from Agnieszka Radwanska. It has been a year for upsets in Oz and last night Stanislas Wawrinka ended three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic's 25-match winning streak.
The women's champion will come from two-time finalist Li Na, 19-year-old Eugenie Bouchard, Radwanska and Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova, who defeated Simona Halep this morning.
Rafael Nadal also survived a serious examination by Grigor Dimitrov to reach the Australian Open semi-finals. The Spaniard began the match as the only member of the world's top three in either the men's or women's draw still in the tournament, and for a long time his place looked far from secure. Nadal did not find anything like his best form throughout the match but Dimitrov's inexperience showed at the crucial moments. The 22-year-old held three set points in the third set but missed them all and it was Nadal who moved moved through to the last four with a 3-6 7-6 (7/3) 7-6 (9/7) 6-2 victory.
"I was so lucky," said Nadal after the match. "Especially on one set point, he missed an easy one. The fourth set was for me and I'm very happy for that. I love this tournament. I'm very happy to be in the semi-finals after missing it last year. I suffered a lot."
So it's looking good for Andy Murray, if he can get by Federer - who has just walked onto the court in Melbourne.
And a roar goes up for Andy Murray as the Wimbledon champion follows the Swiss out.
The Scot is still shaking off some of the rust accumulated during that injury lay-off and speaking in the lead-up to today's match admitted: "I'm a bit stiff and sore, maybe sorer than I would have been in previous years because then I would ?have played a lot more matches and I haven't played any particularly long ones either.
"It was two hours 42 minutes which is the longest I played since my surgery so I'm naturally going to be a little bit stiff and sore. With each match, and sort of playing that length of match, my body will get adjusted to it again and each day I'll be getting closer to 100 per cent again."
This is actually the 21st meeting between the pair and Murray has the better head to head record with 11 to 9 victories. The Scot also beat Federer in last year's Australian Open semi-final.
And Federer starts in Melbourne.
And Federer wins the first game and it really has been a fast start to this match in Melbourne. Murray took the first points but after that Federer took charge with some big serves, winning 40-15.
Andy Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears taking exception to one of the cameras at the side of the court, sticking a cap on top of the lens as it goes in for the close up. On court it's 30-30 with Murray serving now.
Murray draws level now, taking the second game. The pace unrelenting. Some signs of nerves in Andy Murray early on.
A cheeky shot from Federer wraps up the third game and hands the Swiss a 2-1 lead.
The commentary team mentioning the number of kilts and St Andrews flags flying for this match in Melbourne. Murray enjoying great support from the expat community in Oz.
Ruthless from Federer and with Murray stretching to reach he responds with a smash that has the crowd up and cheering. He follows it up with a far more delicate shot to take a 40-15 lead before going on to take the game. That's the first break and a big one for Federer. Murray not looking too comfortable at the moment.
15 minutes gone in Melbourne and the imperious Federer takes a 4-1 lead with Murray looking less than happy. Federer has snapped up every short ball that Murray has played and really unsettled him in a lightning quick start to this match.
Big backhands doing so much damage for Federer and Murray seemed to be moving just a little bit gingerly in this game, holding his back at one point. Is that affecting his concentration in these difficult early stages? Some signs of improvement though as he serves and takes the next game to pull it back to 4-2.
Just how big an influence has coach and hardcourt great Stefan Edberg had on Federer's game? The Swiss so aggressive, stepping forward at every opportunity and unsettling Murray.

PAIA - Towering surf pounded Maui's shoreline Monday, drawing daredevil tow-in surfers and thousands of people to watch them and the massive waves generated by hurricane-force winds.
Two low-pressure systems with winds in excess of 75 mph churned up the ocean 1,000 to 2,000 miles to the northwest, said Glenn James, senior weather analyst at the Pacific Disaster Center in Kihei. The high surf that hit Maui on Monday was the third in a series of storm-generated swells.
Maui County parks officials closed Hookipa and Baldwin beach parks Monday morning because the surf posed a hazard to beachgoers in combination with a high tide. The two beach parks are expected to remain closed today.

Residents and visitors find parking on the side of Hana Highway near Hookipa
County officials also advised motorists to avoid driving along Hana Highway from Paia to Haiku because of traffic congestion caused by people flocking to the shoreline to watch the high surf.
As of Monday afternoon, Maui County ocean safety officers had reported no ocean rescues, said Maui County spokeswoman Mahina Martin. She said there was a report of three personal watercraft lost in the big waves at Peahi, but no injuries were reported.
Ocean safety officers on personal watercraft braved the high surf to respond to a 911 call Monday morning reporting a swimmer in distress off Pauwela lighthouse, only to find there was no swimmer, just ocean debris, Martin said.
Police reported parked cars lining both the entrance to the big-wave surf spot known as Jaws at Peahi Point and Hana Highway near Hookipa Beach Park as people clogged the area to try to get a glimpse of the surf. Two car break-ins were reported at Hookipa and Peahi, according to police, who cautioned visitors and others leaving vehicles unattended in the locations.
Makawao resident Stephanie Boteilho, a registered nurse, spent part of her day off watching the tow-in surfers ride the monster waves at Jaws.
"It was beautiful. It was amazing," she said, and she estimated that at least a couple of hundred people lined the shoreline cliffs to watch the action.
She estimated the wave faces were about 30 feet high. She described the surf as "nice, nice waves . . . there were some barrels."
"It was just a blessing to see the professional surfers today," Boteilho said.
Although the National Weather Service reported that wave heights at Hookipa reached as high as 45 feet, James said he believed they were somewhat smaller, about 40 feet. The larger surf was at Jaws, where wave faces reached 40 to 45 feet.
The big surf was expected to peak Monday night and early this morning, James said.
"Then it will be gradually coming down in size until Wednesday," he said.
The next episode of high surf was forecast to arrive Saturday, but "it will be nothing like we're seeing in the first three days of this week," he said.
A north wind generated by a weak cold front coming across Maui on Monday morning left some showers in windward areas and brought north winds to the north shore, James said.
The on-shore breeze created less-than-ideal conditions for surfers, he said, making waves a little smaller and a littler choppier than surfers would like.
James said he expected winds would continue blowing out of the north today, then shifting to the northeast.
For the rest of this week, there should be "nice trade wind weather," although a little drier than what might be expected this time of year, he said.
Daytime sea-level temperatures should be in the low 80s and high 70s, with overnight temperatures in the middle to upper 60s, he said. Winds were expected to be light today and light to moderate for the rest of this week.

"Licence to wear Speedos", "A spy in Speedos"... the recent news story about the wife of John Sawers, the next head of MI6, posting pictures of her husband in his Speedos on Facebook has been a gift to headline writers everywhere.
The Telegraph was not impressed: "Sorry Sir John, tight trunks are a terrible look," it said. But, given that they look very like the trunks worn by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, we reckon that every spy should be issued with a pair - even if they don't all have a James Bond body.

Betrayal: Whitey Bulger and the FBI Agent Who Fought to Bring Him Down by Robert Kirkpatrick and Jon Land – review
Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger, the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, was like a law unto himself. He and his gang were involved in drug and gun smuggling, and the murders of over 40 people. FBI agent Robert Fitzpatrick, most famous previous to the Whitey Bulger case for supervising the ABSCAM sting operation, made it his mission to bring Bulger down in his new job as Assistant Special Agent in Charge (SAC) for all of New England. Fitzpatrick, a true American hero, wouldn't back down from the investigation even when pressured by politicians and those in the law profession who wanted Bulger to remain free, believing he would serve them better as an informant. Robert Fitzpatrick's fascinating account, action-packed and interesting in itself, takes on the suspense and aura of a fictional page-turning thriller with the aid of his New York Times bestselling co-author, Jon Land. Together, they work magic, making this compelling nonfiction story a Must Read for anyone who loves reading True Crime books.
Compounding the challenges that Fitzpatrick faced were other law enforcement agencies, which often stood in his way and blocked his efforts. Whitey had taken over the largely Irish Winter Hill Gang, but for many FBI agents, who were focusing their attention on the Italian mob, Bulger was more useful free so he could continue to act as an informant. Although Bulger's "intelligence often produced nothing," in return for it the agents allowed him "free rein on the streets." Bulger claimed to hate others who were "rats," like the bookie Richie Castucci, whom he ordered to be killed after "borrowing" $8000,000 from him; yet, when ratting was beneficial to himself, and to continuing his criminal operations, then it was okay to be a rat.
Reading the book gives one a different outlook on many things, including how the conflicting priorities of law enforcement agencies often enable criminals to continue their careers for years. Bulger, for example, committed crimes right under the noses of the FBI and the MSP (Massachusetts State Police). Though there were some people who didn't like it that informants like Bulger could get away with as much as he did, one reason he could, according to the authors, is because their repuations were at stake. They wanted to get information to help prosecute their cases any way they could, and if an agent got in their way, he often paid a price for it.
That's what led up to the murder of Richie Castucci, who told an FBI agent how he'd assisted Whitey Bulger by stashing away two criminals on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List. You'd think that learning about these two thugs would make the agent, "Opie," gain favorable attention from his superiors, but at Boston headquarters, agent John Connolly instead wanted the two thugs, Joe McDonald and James Sims, to remain on the loose. They were "supposed to give intelligence about Angiulo's [a criminal Connolly was more interested in] group in the North End." So Connolly informed Whitey about Richie's being a rat, which led to Whitey's ordering a hit on Richie.
For Robert Kirkpatrick, this was taking the idea of priorities in the importance of cases too far. He was more determined than ever to make sure Whitey Bulger was brought to justice. Kirkpatrick was shocked when, upon meeting with Bulger, the head of the Winter Hill Gang acted as if he was in charge. Bulger probably felt that way because he had been allowed to pursue whatever criminal activities he had wanted to for years, because in the cause of bringing down the Italian mafia, his being free and a prized informant was more vital to certain agents. Fitzpatrick wanted to have Bulger arrested for murder, but he managed to always stay at least one step ahead of the author's attempts to nail him.
Betrayal: Whitey Bulger and the FBI Agent Who Fought to Bring Him Down by Robert Fitzpatrick and Jon Land details the now-retired FBI agent's efforts to see Bulger brought to justice. Whitey finally went into hiding in 1994, though he remained on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List for years after his disappearance. It wasn't until last year that Whitey Bulger was arrested in Santa Monica, California. Though it had been almost thirty years since Robert Fitzpatrick first heard of Bulger and became determined to see him brought to justice, he finally succeeded. This is a book that's impossible to put down, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the True Crime genre.

Officer: House is 'an eyesore'
PROBLEM: Investment falling apart
Erie native Alyshia Peoples purchased the property at 1824 Walnut St. in a judicial sale this past March. But little work has been done to refurbish a home that's stripped to the wood frame in some spots.
Peoples has been cited twice by the city of Erie's Zoning Department since July, said code enforcement officer Anthony Maggio. But he prefers the work to be done.
Paying fines, Maggio said, "doesn't correct the violation."
SOLUTION: Getting to work
Maggio noticed workers boarding up windows and repairing siding about a week ago. He has been told that more work could be done before winter arrives. But Maggio will cite Peoples again if needed.
"Hopefully she's realizing, 'It's costing me a lot of money, so I should put that money towards the house,'" he said. "My intentions are to keep on it because I'd like to see something done. It's an eyesore."

I agree that this restriction can be frustrating, but the data type xs:string is defined in relation to XML Schema and is therefore heavily based on what XML allows in a string. If we wanted to allow manipulation of non-XML characters we would need a new data type, and then none of the string-handling functions would work on that data type. So there's no easy answer.

KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (AP) - Belgium's Frederik Van Lierde won the Ironman World Championship triathlon Saturday.
In muggy but calm conditions, Van Lierde finished the 2.4-mile ocean swim, 112-mile bicycle ride through lava fields and marathon run in 8 hours, 12 minutes, 29 seconds to become the second Belgian winner with the eighth-fastest time in the event's 35-year history.
"I tried to be smart and it worked out," said Van Lierde, who finished third in 2012. "After last year, I believed I could do it. I worked hard this year. This is amazing. I don't understand yet what this means to me. This is the best crowd you can imagine. Thank you so much, everybody."
Luke McKenzie of Australia (8:15:19) was second.
Van Lierde had times of 51:02 in the swim, 4:25:37 in the bicycle leg and 2:51:18 in the run.
Mirinda Carfrae of Australia won her second women's title, in a course-record time of 8:52:14. Her split times were 58:50, 4:58:18 and 2:50:35.
Carfrae also won in 2010.

The slaying of an elderly Algiers woman inside her home Sunday has shocked her family and neighbors, who say that for two decades all she did was provide the people of her community with an honest service.
Alba Valladares, 72, was found dead inside her home in the 100 block of Pinewood Court on Sunday about 1 p.m. by two neighbors who came to the residence looking to purchase snacks from Valladares.
Family members said Valladares' throat was slit, and the Orleans Parish coroner's office confirmed that she died from multiple lacerations.
The incident rocked her family and her neighbors, who affectionately referred to Valladares as "Mama Me" or "the candy lady" in honor of the nurturing role she's played in the community for years. On Monday, a small memorial had been set up outside of Valladares' locked front gate, where plush stuffed animals joined candles and posters.
Keisha Hayes, 21, said she has been visiting Valladares' makeshift store for more than half her life, and that Valladares was always kind to people unless they wronged her.
"I've been knowing her for 12 years," Hayes said. "She been the candy lady for almost 20 or 30 years."
Neighbors said Valladares was well-known in the community of townhouses and transient residents because she constantly had people in and out of her home to sell them candy, chips and drinks. One man said Valladares' house was the place to go to stock up before a Saints game.
However, because of the high foot traffic, Valladares had been victimized by thieves on occasion, and at times she could have large groups of strangers in her home at once.
New Orleans police have not released a motive or suspects in the stabbing, and the matter is still under investigation. Commander Heather Kouts, who heads the 4th District, said her officers are out placing Crimestoppers placards on residents' doors with the hope of generating leads.

Being a backbencher for a Government party is the most unenviable job in Irish politics. Made more so because there is no tradition of rebellion here as they have in Westminster.Occasionally, we hear mutinous noises – usually about the impact of a policy (like drink driving or the smoking ban) on constituents. Or if a policy is going to be too hard on people. But mutinies are quickly quelled. Only on rare occasions do we see the whip being withdrawn. It is a rareity indeed to see a deputy cross the chamber, as Joe Behan did at the tail end of 2007.
There was a potential mutiny afoot in Fianna Fail yesterday following the leaking of details of the deal that was being worked out between the Government and public sector unions.
But what was really unusual about this is that TDs rebelled not because the Government's stance was too hard but because it wasn't hard enough.
Brian Cowen and Brian Lenihan have been softening and conditioning TDs and Senators for months about a savage budget. All have come around to it.
It was galling for some to see yesterday that the person who seemed to be getting cold feet about this was the person who told them to brace themselves for a savaging because there was no alternative.
It looks really bad for Cowen. Those who were angry yesterday included many who were not the usual suspects. His credibility with his own TDs has suffered a huge fall in the past 24 hours. Hence, the sudden toughening up of attitude by senior Government ministers today.
It's not been said but there's also a clash between Cowen and Lenihan that may turn out to be a sytemic problem in the long-term(ie not sorted out without a leadership tussle).
The Fianna Fail parliamentary party meeting was packed today. At least 30 TDs spoke, all with the same voice. They just don't like the unpaid leave proposal. Nor do their constituents. And they want the €4 billion cuts implemented.
Cowen and Lenihan told them that what was reported reflected the union position, and not any agreement.
But did it?
The key question is: was there some backsliding from Government earlier this week? Did Cowen agree, even tentatively, to an arrangement on leave that would save €1 billion and not the €1.3 that Brian Lenihan has been talking about for many months now.
It is certain that there something of a face-saving operation to be gleaned from union announcements on Tuesday night. They had to show grounds for calling off today's stoppage. If it had gone ahead, there is some evidence to suggest it would not have been a success. But did union leaders claim gains and concessions that had not been gained or conceded by Government? Did they oversell their own progress?
It's not going to be possible to find a definitive answer to that. There are rumours that a deal had been struck and the Government is now backsliding. On the other side, there are also stories that the Government allowed the unions some leeway on public pronouncements because the strike was being called off. And that some of them took liberties and oversold it.
Whatever the interpretation, the big loser who came out of all of this was Cowen himself.
Cabinet meeting went on until after 7pm. Looks like the 12 day leave of absence proposal is no longer a real runner. If it is it will be in diluted form.

No flying yet. Tuesday through Saturday are supposed to be sunny and mid 50's to 60 with light winds so I should be able to find SOME time to get a flight or two in. Need to get the Flasher 450 ready for flight again. Need to drop from a 13T to a 12T as the 35 Amp ESC I am using won't handle it for long.
One day : three pages
doing good here in the new home
p.s. even with the FLU I have flown the SR four times today. Temp.70+ breeze 3 to 5mph
it is a FAST little heli when I go Forward Flight. I fly in STUNT with Hi rate but it is a quick reactor
and "tends" to go back to center. I will be at the RC field this week and will try FLIPS and maybe
hold INVERTED ( I go upsidedown in the SIM, with no mental effort ) so I guess I'll transition safely..\
Here's a link to my blog. I have entered in a couple of things that I thought people might be interested in as well as links to my friends. It's more community friendly on RCGroups. There is no worries on security either. If you don't want to be friends with someone you can always ignore... not an obligation.
It's a neat sight. Like any other, it does take some getting used to. There are pros and cons to preference but I've found things run very smoothly on RCGroups. It's very electric friendly
Hey Rick,
Do you have the SR on a DX6 or DX7? A friend, the one in the video flinging dirt, said there was not enough throws on the included transmitter to hold in inverted.

LMAO...I got a beagle and a lab, we hook 'em to a chain on the back porch out the sliding glass doors...what a nightmare this year. All winter, and it too rotten to go out and clean it up as yet. I take the Ford 861 tractor with an 8ft grading blade...I drag it across the yard...gone after about 3 good rains. Right now, it's just too muddy to do that...it'll be there next week too...I aint worried.
What is happening BOBs?
I see there is talk of Blade SR in here. I absolutely love mine. I am flying mine on the DX7 with +11 -10 pitch and 7.5° cyclic. I removed all the flybar weights and have installed a 10T Blade 400 pinion which replaced the SRs 9T. It is capable of flips, rolls, loops, funnels etc but that is not its strong point. Where I find it to really shine is in FFF. Just like my CPP2, it is just a blast to carve with and I can FFF aileron better than any other heli I have.
Here is a vid of mine in action. Feel free to check out my other BSR vids.

Here's a couple of pics of planes of the squadrons I was in.
I came home and all the furniture was gone............
Heya guys!
I checked in at the other site and had recieved a PM from Jim about the move. Glad to see the thread title has changed to something more appropriate for the direction the original had taken.
I still have all the Blade CP's (I can't part with anything it seems) as well as the 2 HBK2's , the Trex and the Swift 16. As you men are aware, my Rc focus has shifted to planes mostly but i still fly my MCX a bit and had worked on the CX2 some not too long ago. I am currently building a BME Cap Maniac I bought at the local trade show last month. 60 inch Ws and calls for a 60 2 stroke..... of course i am going electric with a Reaper Brushless GR-60 that from reports has loads of power and should toss it in the air nicely.
Went to the flying field today with a 3DHS 49" Sukhoi, a "flying W" the lil A-10 warthog from Nitroplanes converted to brushless and my trusty GWS Estarter. I forgot to charge the batterys for the J 3 cub I got from Vic a couple years ago so it had to stay hanging out on the cieling here at home. Also grounded until I can make my way to Eastern WA is my Eflite AT-6 Texan. I want to fly it off of an asphalt runway and theres a newly built field in Wenatchee that has all the requirements I desire. One of my club members was raised there and his father is the treasurer of the club there. Hopefully I can shmooze my way into a lil VIP treatment!
Flights were uneventful.....however one of my planes got blown off the table and broke a pontoon off the Flying W. A cross between a hydroplane and a delta wing.......the thing just floats in the air as well as the water. I tried taping it back on (where the heck is all my CA when i need it?) but I didn't trust it and didn't want to do a walk of shame to pick up falling pieces. The Sukhoi was quite happy to advance in line and take to the air. That plane rolls so fast I have a hard time counting revolutions. Sweet flipping around as well as tracking straight and true. Just wish i was a better pilot!
I am not a regular forum lurker much anymore but will try to pop in once in awhile and keep you men updated.......... BOB's keep up the great work!
Nice vids on this last page BTW!
__________________________________________________ ___________________________________
Of all the things I ever lost....................................... I miss my mind the most!
Glad you guys made it here.
9sec- Wow you really did fantastic with the SR. Do you have any issues with the tail motor as compared to the CP's. That was their weak point I believe.
Arrow- I think I forgot to give you the link in the PM, glad you found it! Sounds like planks have really go you busy lately. I sold off al my nitro stuff over the winter and am going to stick to all electric. I picked up a Parkzone Bf 109 over the winter and have about 10 flights on it now. I'm really liking the warbirds lately. Looking around to see what I might pickup next. How do you like the A-10 from nitroplanes?

One escort, one arrest
On the evening of April 18 police were called to an apartment off West Second North Street to help a current tenant move out. The complainant said he has had altercations with another tenant of the apartment who lives there with the complainant's ex-girlfriend. The complainant asked police to escort him as he moved. The woman's one-year-old child was also present in the apartment at the time. While the complainant was gathering his belongings an officer noticed a clear glass pipe with burnt edges and a scouring pad inside lying in plain sight on the kitchen counter. The officer recognized this as a pipe for smoking crack-cocaine and asked whom it belonged to. Both men denied ownership but later the male tenant who was not moving out said it was his. He was arrested and cited for possession of drug paraphernalia.
'Cleaning vents'
A citizen called police regarding a possible collision in the Azalea Square parking lot near Target. An officer found a vehicle matching the description and pulled the driver over. The driver parked diagonally across two spaces then had trouble opening the window and turning off the vehicle when instructed. The officer reached into the vehicle, placed it in park and turned off the engine. The driver seemed dazed and confused. He stated he had no medical conditions and he was OK. The officer saw a clear plastic wrapper lying on the driver's lap and in the driver's door pocket. The officer also saw a white can that appeared to be aerosol duster. The driver had a white substance in his left nostril, the right upper side of his lip and on his shirt near his left chest. The officer asked what the substance was. The driver wiped away the substance and replied, "Nothing." The driver could not provide the officer with a complete address on several occasions. The driver appeared to become more coherent and gave the officer permission to search the vehicle. The officer asked what the driver was cleaning with the duster cans. "My car," he said. The officer asked which part. "The vents," he said. The officer observed the vents to have a noticeable amount of dust and debris. The car did not appear to have been cleaned in some time. When asked, the driver denied inhaling the duster. Based on the circumstance and physical evidence the officer arrested the driver and charged him with unlawful possession of aromatic hydrocarbons. The driver was taken to the detention center and four cans of duster were placed into evidence. There was no evidence of a collision.

For one of the most competitive baseball seasons in Santa Clarita Valley prep history, the area gets no rewards in the CIF-Southern Section playoffs.
Yes — six teams made it, with three coming from the Foothill League (Foothill League co-champions West Ranch and Canyon and third-place Valencia).
But two local teams have to play wild card games and only one Foothill League squad earned the right to host a first-round playoff game.
That team is West Ranch, which was a semifinalist in last year's Division I playoffs.
The Wildcats (16-9) host Sunset League third-place finisher Los Alamitos (16-10) on Thursday.
"I think all along as we've done this playoff thing, we've needed two really good arms to get along. One's been great (senior Cody Bennett), and we have a bunch of other guys who'll have to step up and play the games of their lives," said West Ranch head coach Casey Burrill.
Burrill pointed out that the odds were against Corona and Newbury Park to get to Dodger Stadium for last year's
Division I final — however both teams found a way.
Yet this won't be easy for the Foothill League's other two teams.
Canyon (18-9), winning a piece of its first Foothill championship since 2002 and making its first postseason since 2007, has to travel to play Mission League second-place Loyola (19-10).
Valencia (16-11) will host Marmonte League fifth-place team Westlake (14-13) on Tuesday.
Should the Vikings win that game, they would travel to play the No. 16 team in the country, according to Maxpreps, Harvard-Westlake.
"We still have to beat Westlake," said Valencia head coach Jared Snyder. "We'll have to play best game we've played all year. We'll have to play excellent baseball — no mistakes, cut down on strikeouts."
Santa Clarita Christian (11-7) won the Heritage League and for that the Cardinals host Omega League No. 2 Delphi Academy (7-10) in the Division VII first round.
Heritage No. 2 Trinity Classical Academy (10-6) travels to play Coast Valley No. 1 Coast Union High (13-6) in Cambria on Thursday in Division VII.
In its first-ever playoff game, Einstein Academy (8-8) will host Heritage No. 3 Faith Baptist (8-8) on Tuesday in a Division VII wild card.
All games start at 3:15 p.m.

I find they burn it a lot, probably from all the grease
This has got to be "the best place for food, service, atmosphere etc." I have never gotten anything that wasn't fantastic!! Always willing to please and the portions are "huge". They don't cut back on fillings etc. when the prices of their suppliers rise like other places & never a huge price increase. Always polite and curtious on the phone as well in person. Can't go wrong at Eatza Pizza, everything tastes great!!

The Philadelphia Flyers had absolutely no trouble scoring goals last season.
All told, Philly's 264 regular-season strikes were not only good for third best in the Eastern Conference a year ago, but third best among all 30 NHL clubs.
The Flyers produced 11 double-digit goal scorers last season, while four different skaters managed 20 or more tallies.
And even though Philadelphia's offense underwent some changes in the offseason (Jaromir Jagr and James van Riemsdyk are both gone), the bulk of the Flyers' offensive juggernaut remains.
Uncertainty continues to swirl around the current NHL campaign, but should the year ever be salvaged, here's a breakdown of Philly's top scoring threats for the coming season.

My Problem
I had recently got a MacBook Pro 13" non-retna, for its repairability and upgradability. I got i7 processor with everything else base specs, knowing that i can upgrade the HD and RAM easily with iFixit guides. Now i have enough storage space to partition for a triple boot and migrate my old mac mini and windows laptop data over (both are over 7 years old and dying) plus create an new Ubantu partition, and have a 3-in-one fancy compy to last for years to come.
My Fix
The hard drive swap went smooth-ish, no major problems, follow the guide directions. This was the first time I've ordered parts from iFixit, usually I'd get parts from the Mac Market in Van and use a set of eyeglasses screw set, but this time i thought I'd splurge on a tool set, plus I've been to busy for a trip into the city. So I ordered online and it came to me in a jiffy (like 2 biz days). It took a few minutes to realize that the 26 bits are labeled, phillips 00 is PH00, torx 6 is TX06, really a minor mini issue only. No major problem.
The drive cloning from what i had on the original HDD to the SSHD wasn't super successful with SuperDuper!, unfortunately, at least on the MBP + Mavericks, so i did a clean install with disk utility recovery and migration assistant. It all worked well, again, just a minor issue + a little extra time. I swapped the HDD from the MBP into my Mac Mini (w/ Snow Leopard) after and used SuperDuper! and it worked fine -as it did a few years ago when i did this for the first time- so I'm guessing its a Mavericks glitch.
Anywhoo, both hard drives got swapped and upgraded in an afternoon. Next weekend I'll do the bootcamp and Ubantu partitioning and migrating.
My Advice
If you are upgrading a new Mac Book Pro from base specs to something more, then check youtube or Apple support for the clean install from disk utility and migration assistant method, Im not sure SuperDuper! has caught up to Mavericks unique tweaks just yet. I guess you can pay the $$ for Carbon Copy Cloner or whatever else, if you do this all the time or whatnot, but for something that I only do once in a few years it doesn't seem worth the extra bucks when clean install is easy and free, just costs an extra 2 hours to do.
My Problem
My wardrobe was listing heavily to the black side of spectrum. Few appreciate how hard it is to find interesting apparel in other shades.
My Fix
The price was right, the size available and it FIT like a DREAM.
My Advice
Pay attention to those infrequent emails ladies and gentlemen.
My Problem
I went today to look at somebody's old Lowrey Organ, wearing the "Fix It Yourself"-T-Shirt. The people really liked it, and asked me if I could repair even more. Everybody asks me where did I get the T-Shirts, and I tell about iFixit.
My Fix
The organ is again functioning more or less, I need to tune a bit more, using extra tools that I didn't cary with me.
My Advice
Just repair, don't throw away!

Debit Card Skimmer Found On Train Ticket Dispenser
Be careful, travelers, skimmers aren't just for ATMs. Here's one a Dutch guy found on a local train ticket machine. This is even a little bit more insidious than an ATM skimmer because busy passengers are even less likely to hide their PIN or notice a skimming device before rushing to their next train. The site is in Dutch but just scroll through the labeled pictures. With phrases like "betterijen uit mobiele telefoon" it's pretty easy to figure out what he's talking about.

Big Shocker: Students Are Abusing Credit Cards
Sallie Mae's 2009 study of credit card use shows that students just love binging on plastic. Kids these days have more than four cards on average, and most of them carry a balance pushing $3,000.
