I love t-shirts with French sayings on them and these Zara Girls' T-shirt with Embroidery ($16.90) are adorable with their ruffled ribbon embroidery on top of a subtle metallic dot pattern. It's much more luxe looking in person and the price is just perfect for kids clothes.
Chloe wore her Mon Ami t-shirt today to school, paired with leggings and a gray ruffled Le Petit Bateau skirt. The look is chic, yet easy and comfortable for girls to wear.

Light up shoes seem to be a staple in kids wardrobes. Chloe's school allows it but now some schools are not allowing light up shoes. Or you may be like me and forget that your kid is wearing them when we go out for an afternoon at the movies. The Sketchers Kids Shuffles Lights ($46.99, comes in black or pink) features a handy on/off button at the strap. Perfect for the day at school or at the movies!

Kids need to keep warm and with the fall and winter weather coming up, I love the lightweight warmth and easy-to-wear functionality of fleece jackets. Mini Boden has them in cute colors and patterns that will make your little one look his or her best. The polka-dot fun of the girls' Hooded Teddy Zip Sweatshirt ($42 at bodenusa.com) and the stunning colorblock of the boys' Two-in-one Sherpa Zip Sweatshirt ($54 at bodenusa.com) are two of my favorites.
Here are more cozy fleeces from Mini Boden:
Cosy Vest ($38)
Teddy Zip Sweatshirt ($38)
Shaggy Lined Hoody ($54)

Nordstrom Rack at 555 Ninth Street in San Francisco is now stocked with plenty of kids clothes! (For you new moms, there are lots of baby clothes too.) The folks at Nordstrom were nice enough to give me a $150 gift card to shop and check out all the cool kids' goods. A few days ago, my little fashionista Chloe and I took a shopping trip over to get her some new clothes for Back to School. Pictured above are the items we picked out together. She had a lot of input on what she wanted and we had a lot of fun. There was so much to choose from with lots of brand names you know and love.

My girl probably grew about an inch or more this summer so we needed to stock up on jeans. We got two pairs in one of my favorite kids brands, Tractor. They make the best pants. I got a dark jean color and a floral pattern for her. These retail for $50 and over and we snagged them for just $29.97 and $23.97. I loved the colored jeggings by Joe's Jeans so we picked up a pair in Magenta for only $19.97 (regular $48). Let me tell you, this is going to be my go to place to pick up new pairs of pants. I don't have to wait for the anniversary sale and they have all the pants that are in fashion so I don't have to skimp on quality.
Hello Kitty cuteness was on display as well as sparkly tutus.
There were also lots of great clothes for boys. I love these striped Hurley hoodies – a staple for our foggy SF weather. I didn't get any photos of it but there were some great North Face fleece jackets for boys and girls floating around the section, mostly in toddler sizes.
You can't go back to school without a backpack, right? There were plenty of backpacks and mini-backpacks that were about $30 and under.
If you're a new mom and not yet ready for back to school, you'll enjoy the array of baby clothes that you can pick up. It made me nostalgic for the days when I could simply pick whatever outfit I wanted to for Chloe.
And if you are lucky enough to have some alone time to go sans kids, the handbag section is packed with some cute bags from Michael Kors, Rebecca Minkoff and more. Chloe didn't have the patience for me to look at my things so I'll have to go back by myself another day.
Shopping at Nordstrom Rack's kids' department was a breeze. Back to School shopping should always be this easy. Plus it's great to have free parking to shop somewhere in SF!
Disclaimer: Nordstrom provided me with at $150 gift card to review the shopping experience in this post.

Stephanie Lau from All About Ami doesn't just crochet cute amigurumi animals. She's also a very fashionable new mom to six month old Myla. I became friends with this Canadian beauty a few years ago when I was an editor at CRAFT and she did her first published pattern, this crochet spring bunny. I have been loving her recent blog post on her nursing fashion tips so I decided to do an interview with Stephanie on how she stays so stylish and fashionable as a new mom.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I would describe my fashion style as classic and feminine. I love wearing dresses and romantic pieces such as delicate crocheted shawls and items with ruffles and lace. With that being said, comfort is also key for me, and I enjoy layering different pieces together (such as my chambray tops and oversized sweaters), which is key to surviving the Canadian winter! I also love accessorizing as I feel that accessories really help pull an outfit together. I'll usually sport my stud earrings, a necklace and a stack of bracelets when going out! I loved accessorizing from a young age as I have pictures of myself as a toddler wearing chunky beaded necklaces and bracelets with little clips in my hair!
The first few months post-pregnancy is probably the most fashion challenging for a new mom. What was your solution to looking great?
I remember my "What to Bring to the Hospital" pamphlet stated to bring a going-home outfit that would fit you when you were 5 months pregnant… And so, I knew to expect to continue to look somewhat pregnant for a little while even after the baby was delivered! I definitely did not fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans and most of my bottoms, so I continued to wear what I wore when I was pregnant (flawy tops and leggings)! This turned out to be a little more challenging as well since I was also nursing. Now all of my outfits had to be breast-feeding friendly, particularly since newborns feed so frequently! I layered pretty cardigans, oversized sweaters and blazers over my nursing tank tops to continue looking stylish post-pregnancy!
What 3 pieces of clothing could you not live without?
I could not live without my jeans, my leggings and my little black dress.
When you were pregnant, what maternity pieces did you live in?
When I was pregnant, I lived in my leggings, long tunics, maternity jeans and maxi dresses. I continued to accessorize a lot and I also belted my outfits to help give some definition and to make them look more polished. I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to style my ever-growing baby bump!
What are some of Myla's favorite things?
Myla absolutely loves her pink bouncer- she enjoys sitting in it and taking in her surroundings. She likes it even more than her swing or any other baby item! She also has a little ribbon tug blanket that she loves playing with: this minky blanket has ribbons of varying textures along the edges that she enjoys feeling and tugging! Myla loves it when I sing songs and read books to her as well. She especially likes books that have songs associated with them, such as "Five Little Monkeys" and "Ten in the Bed"- it's really cute because she vocalizes along when I read and sing to her!
You are also a very crafty mom. How does crafting/crochet play into your life as a working mom?
I am currently on maternity leave, and I am really enjoying my time with Myla. Everyday we have story time, song time and floor time. Myla is so inquisitive and curious. She enjoys watching me do everything, from washing the dishes, preparing meals, to doing my hair! It's definitely been more challenging finding time to craft, crochet and finish projects, but thankfully Myla actually enjoys watching me crochet. I think she likes seeing the yarn and crochet hook moving so quickly! However, I do most of my crafting when she is napping or at night when she is sleeping. I continue to enjoy crocheting items for Myla and designing new projects. Crocheting is so therapeutic for me, and the blog motivates me to keep being creative and working on new projects!

Product Details
"Versatile" is the one word that all of our testers used to describe this year's JJ. It's the one ski for the powder hungry. The five-dimensional ski's rockered tip (136mm at its widest point) and tail (133mm at its widest point) make for easy floatation, while positive camber underfoot and a tapered tail allow for surprisingly smooth, engaged edge control when and where you need it. We may live for smeary pow days, but we still have to face the reality of the inevitable groomer or crud day, and the JJ addresses it all.

Preview: Alaska Anchorage at Wisconsin
Basics: Alaska Anchorage (6-12-2, 3-12-1 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) at Wisconsin (10-10-2, 5-9-2) at 7 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. Saturday at the Kohl Center.
About the Seawolves: Anchorage was off for 33 days after suffering a 4-3 loss at Colorado College on Dec. 10. The Seawolves returned to action last weekend and were swept , 6-2 and 6-4, by host Michigan Tech. Anchorage went 0 for 9 on the power play in the two games.
Badgers update: UW managed only a split last weekend at Minnesota State, recording a 4-0 victory in Game 1 but suffering a 3-0 loss in Game 2. Interestingly, UW coach Mike Eaves thought his team played as well, if not better, in Game 2.
UW was outshot, 36-29, in the opener but recorded three even-strength goals and a power-play goal. In Game 2, both teams generated 32 shots on goal, but UW went 0 for 6 on the power play and allowed two power-play goals.
"We liked a lot of things we did," Eaves said of the 3-0 loss. "We just need to find the back of the net."

Trading for Sapp represented a chance for the Ravens to reunite with their 2003
sixth-round draft pick from Notre Dame. He was released by Baltimore in 2004 in
a somewhat-controversial roster decision.
The Ravens decided to keep veteran Corey Fuller instead of Sapp partly because of concerns over how releasing Fuller might have potentially affected locker room chemistry and politics. Fuller is a close friend of Deion Sanders and Ray Lewis, two influential stars.
"It was just an opportunity presented to us that allows us to upgrade our football team," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a telephone interview. "He knows the system and he won't be penalized by not being here. He gets a chance to start fresh."
Newsome confirmed that Sapp will be given the opportunity to compete for a starting job opposite former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Ed Reed.
By reacquiring Sapp, Baltimore adds a large safety (6-foot-1, 216 pounds) known mostly for his special-teams ability.
Sapp, who was drafted 182nd overall, has played in 43 career games, including 14 with Baltimore. He has registered 74 career tackles.
Sapp started twice for the Colts last season, recording 16 tackles and 28 special teams tackles. As a rookie in Baltimore, Sapp had 17 special-teams tackles and one fumble recovery.
Known as a strong tackler, Sapp has never intercepted a pass in the NFL or been credited with a pass deflection.

Has anyone ever changed from apathetic to motivated? What happened?
Since developing bipolar disorder, and subsequently being out of work since April 2005, I find my motivation and concentration has gone to be replaced by apathy and what must seem to others like laziness. Has anyone else been in a similar situation and got themselves out of it, and if so, how? [more inside]
Jump-start my writing process!
OK, I'm trying to write my latest masterpiece, and I'm doing everything but... Any tips on writing routines? Not blocked, as such. Plain lazy is a definite possibility. But seriously, anybody have a fail-safe way to get up in the morning and get going?

A camel, a horse and a Gila monster were guest instructors Thursday at Bordewich-Bray Elementary School, teaching students about Nevada's history and its relevance in today's world.
"This is one of the most impressive programs that I'm aware of," State Archivist Guy Rocha, who helped coordinate the Nevada Day celebration. "These kids are having a wonderful experience, arguably a lifetime experience. I don't know of anything comparable."
In honor of Nevada's admission into union on Oct. 31, 1864, the staff at Bordewich-Bray transforms the school one day each year into a hands-on exhibit of the state's heritage.
This year, 18 stations were set up, some delving into Nevada's history - like panning for gold and wagon rides - while others showcased its cultures, with displays of traditional Hispanic dances, the Chinese influence and American Indian song and dance.
Jacki Bennet, of Washoe and Paiute descent, sang songs of thanksgiving, of praise to Mother Earth and of supplication for protection.
She told students that songs can be passed between family and friends or can come in the form of a dream or other form of inspiration.
"We try to remember who we learned the song from as a way of honoring them," she said.
Sarah Christl, 10, asked Bennet how many American Indian songs there were.
"She said she can't count them," Christl reported to her friends. "She said there were as many as stars in the sky."
Gary Jackson brought his camel, Atara. Camels were once used to transport materials to the mines on the Comstock. Jackson now raises them in Stagecoach, racing them at the annual Virginia City International Camel Races.
He debunked common camel misconceptions. For example, they don't spit; they projectile vomit their cud. And they don't store water in their humps; they store food.
"Just like this is where I store my food," Jackson said, motioning to his belly.
The Gila monster stores energy in its tail, Chris Gienger of the University of Nevada, Reno's biology department told the students.
He had one of the venomous rare lizards indigenous to Southern Nevada on hand to show students. He also had the state reptile, the desert tortoise, and a rubber snake on display, and explained their roles in the desert habitat.
"I want to be a reptilianist when I grow up," said Austin Bortch, 9. "I've wanted to be one since I first touched a reptile when I was 5. So today was a real treat for me."
Although not indigenous to Nevada, the horse has played a significant role in its history and development. Stan Zuber, of the Bureau of Land Management, brought Koal, a feral horse that has been trained to be a patrol horse.
Principal Sue Keema carried on the Nevada Day celebration when she assumed the role six years ago. Although it takes months to organize, she said the outcome is worth the work.
"To me, this supports student achievement," she said. "They are going to remember what they learned today because they were able to touch it, see it, hear it, speak it. Getting their hands dirty and jumping in with both feet, they experience the folklore."

Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross make 'Dragon Tattoo' strong
Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" soundtrack ***1/2
Where their Academy Award-winning score to "The Social Network" was warmly minimalist and subtly nicked by droning guitars and video-game blips, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' coldly vigorous "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is as isolated and aggressive as the film itself.
Epic too, at nearly three hours (3 CDs) of macabre but beautiful music. "Girl" features songs such as a ghoulish Karen O-led take on Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" and a hypnotic Reznor/Ross cover of Bryan Ferry's "Is Your Love Strong Enough?"
-- A.D. Amorosi,
Philadelphia Inquirer
Jonsi, "We Bought a Zoo" soundtrack ***1/2
"We Bought A Zoo" might contain previously released songs from Iceland's grandly misty Sigur Ros and its entrancingly pixieish vocalist/composer Jonsi.
Yet you'll come to this stirring soundtrack for the melancholy elegance of its brief, boisterous thematic tracks ("Sun"), hymnlike Jonsi originals ("AEvin Endar"), and unique collaborations that embrace the cinematic tale of a family struggling for unity.
While orchestrator Nico Mulhy provides complex and icily arranged layers of brass and strings, Jonsi collaborates with Cameron Crowe, director of "Zoo," on the sweeping "Gathering Stories," one of the most linear performances of the Sigur singer's career.
-- A.D. Amorosi,
Philadelphia Inquirer
Robin Thicke, "Love After War" ***
Like his previous releases, Robin Thicke's "Love After War" is steeped heavily in nu-soul and R&B and focuses on love, sex and the emotions in between.
While 2009's "Sex Therapy" was more carnal in content and sexual in rhythm, "Love After War" tones down the language and relies less on the tried-and-true R&B beats, as the '70s funk of "An Angel on Each Arm" and the rowdy, anthemic, and slightly corny "I'm an Animal" demonstrate.
"New Generation," meanwhile, seems an homage to the music and spirit of Gil Scott-Heron.
"Love After War" isn't as engaging or memorable as some of Thicke's earlier work, but it's a fun listen and possibly an indication of where Thicke is headed next -- focusing more on music than on lust.
-- Katherine Silkaitis, Philadelphia Inquirer
Young Jeezy, "Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition" **1/2
Hopelessly out of step with woozy swag rap and Auto-Tune, the usually monotonous and overpraised Jeezy sounds surprisingly sturdy on his fourth album.
"Thug Motivation 103" delivers the reliable bawdiness and mildly exciting beats of a good, boilerplate rap album. But Jeezy is nowhere near arresting enough as a rapper to justify the 80-minute running time.
Don't need most of the second half (what's Jill Scott doing here?) or the disappointing singles (why did Plies get on a better beat than Jay-Z, Andre 3000 or T. I.?). Freddie Gibbs and Lil Wayne almost save this hustler's overambition, but what he really needs is an editor.

rumbalumba posted...some pc ignorance here. pc games don't take advantage of anything, that's why you're paying so much and you're getting so little. look at the PS3's RSX. that's a 7800GTX, which is leagues below even mid-level PC gaming cards today. but why can they do God Of War or Uncharted graphics? optimization. your Nvidia 560 GTX isn't even being optimized to its full power.
except an archaic 8800 GT is a much better GPU than a 7600 GT. so no, your point is still moot. Crysis isn't optimized to run with anything, therefore a dedicated machine can squeeze more from Crysis than a PC with 8800 GT in it.
are you stupid? it isn't about which one is more powerful. yes, an 8800GT+C2D will leave PS3 in the dust DUH they're essentially better specs. but does a game running on C2D+8800GT leave Uncharted or God Of War in the dust? rofl.
that's Crysis running on 7800 GTX. how does that leave Uncharted and God Of War in the dust? we're talking about a console that has 256 VRAM and 256 RAM. its games look better than those that require 512 VRAM and 1GB RAM. yes, optimization is key. give me a Crysis vid that's running on 256 RAM and 256 VRAM 7800 GTX and tell me it outperforms and out"looks" God Of War. NOPE, CAN'T DO IT.

thansk for proving our point. i think you need some reading comprehension skills bro, they switched focus because it wasnt going to be ready for all platforms, because they spent so much time making it for PC the console was falling behind
Lol fanboys go PC elitists, or Console fanboys who will win?
Also our 6-7yr old tech is pretty darn impressive since they can handle games like Halo 4, MGR, MGS:GZ, Uncharted 3, Uncharted 2, The Last of Us, Rage, Crysis 2, Crysis 3, etc. These games are running on VERY old tech. Compared to some of the latest PC/Laptops that can run games.

Depends on what resolution and fps they're gonna be running at. Not expecting that big of a jump overall unless they plan to make PS4 cost like $7-800.
I am not a huge computer nerd but even I can see that what they can do now on consoles with 7 year old tech is amazing. Older tech if you think about when they chose the tech and developed the years before the consoles hit the market. The games that they will come out with with a card that is only a year old or two old at launch time will be phenomenal.
A blind ape can see that.

IMO I think the improvements will be in other areas of the next gen console such as: Far more people in online games, much better little things like textures. Movements of clothing and hair. More expansive worlds to explore. Full 1080p in most games at improved framerates. Maybe not 60, but better than what we see today. I'm interested to see sports games on the next gen more than anything.
People will be let down if they think it'll be outta this world, life-like graphics. Maybe five years from now we'll see some really impressive things with the system. The PS3 and 360 both really improved in graphics from when they first released. Just like any hardware, it will be pushed.
A Mid-range card (that's been custom built for that console) in a system dedicated to gaming will look damn good. I do most of my gaming on a PC and I know I'm going to be impressed with this next gen.

$5 says that the majority of the people who argue back and forth over this at the end of the day will end up playing their game on some entry level or mid tier display anyway with an out of the box terrible picture setting like vivid with their backlight jacked all the way up and their color temperature incorrectly in cool mode.
Absolutely nothing close to proper gamma, D65, or any remotely calibrated setting and for the cherry on top they won't use external sound.

Festival Cantar Lontano
Voices, space, charm of harmonious places
Cantar Lontano is an ambitious project launched in 1999 to investigate and spread the seventeenth-century vocal practice of "cantar lontano". The origins of this technique are rooted in the Italian region of Marche at the beginning of the seventeenth century. In 1612 Ignazio Donati's treatise Sacri concentus was published in Venice ; in it the author described the techniques and execution praxis of "cantar lontano". By way of strategic positioning within the church space and by keeping precise distances among them in the choirs and with respect to the organ, singers were able to overcome the difficulties of performing polyphonic music, such as the perceived delay of the sound. With their singing they created spectacular stereo or surround-sound effects long before modern technology obtained them. The setting and the acoustic characteristics of sacred architecture were ideal for performing vocal and instrumental music. The "cantar lontano" explained by Donati became common praxis in the ecclesial communities of the Marche region until the beginning of the nineteenth century. The Cantar Lontano project now wishes to rediscover, enhance and spread the "cantar lontano" technique by studying this praxis with a scientific and philological method on one hand, and by sharing out the outcomes of this research through concerts, musical recordings and other public events on the other.
Cantar Lontano Festival : a yearly event taking place during the last two weekends in June in the churches and the special locations of the province of Ancona (Marche, Italy) : a rich agenda of concerts featuring singers and musicians specialised in seventeenth-century music, who bestow special attention to the performing practice of sacred vocal repertoire from the early-Baroque period. The musicians play period instruments or copies of them. The Festival is the climax of Cantar Lontano's research : when people and music meet.
Marco Mencoboni was born in 1961 in Macerata (Marche, Italy). He is a harpsichord and organ player, conductor and director of the Cantar Lontano vocal ensemble. His unwavering philological research led him to rediscover and promote the "cantar lontano" performing practice. Since 1999 he has been artistic director of the Cantar Lontano Festival. He created and manages the record label E lucevan le stelle records.
Cantar Lontano vocal ensemble : its members are singers and musicians able to perform imposing works, most of which are modern premières of ancient pieces. What makes this ensemble special is a sound experimentation connected with the territory, one example of which is the concert that since 2005 is given yearly during the Cantar Lontano Festival in the Big Cave of Wind of the subterranean Frasassi Caves.Retour haut de page

My expertise is calming hyper-aroused, overexcited nervous systems. (Some clients affectionately joke that I'm a walking sedative. I'm good with that.) I chose neurofeedback, biofeedback, and conversational hypnotherapy because they literally change the brain. We can see this on fMRI studies or QEEG. So hypnotherapy and/or feedback can be more efficient ways of achieving lasting change than traditional therapy, which may feel cozy, but not have an effect on how the brain is misbehaving.
I am a non-traditional therapist/scientist. A high percentage of my clients are traditional therapists, some of whom I also train in trauma resolution. Many of my clients in recovery also remain with their talk therapist while we help their nervous system recover from use or abuse.
Without even talking about problems, neurofeedback and biofeedback can address problems where other therapies have failed. Why?
Your brain and nervous system make you happen the way that you do: They control every body function, everything you perceive, everything you think or do, and everything that you feel. Your life has to happen in your brain and nervous system for it to happen at all.
EEG neurofeedback and biofeedback give you real time information so the automatic activity of your brain and body can become more electrochemically balanced. When that happens, your brain and body automatically form new decisions, new reactions, and new perceptions.
"I'm so amazed at who I've become with brain training. I came for anxiety. Now, I can't explain it, but I feel more connected to my SELF, and to other people. Work flows. I'm choosing healthier relationships, and even started craving vegetables. I don't overreact like I used to. Lately, I sense an optimism I never had before. It's like nothing else. Just do it." -- R.K.
Neurofeedback acts like a mirror for your brain. During neurofeedback, nothing goes into your brain. Neurofeedback only LISTENS to brainwaves (like dish TV listens to the sky). Brain activity is recorded and displayed, real time, through responsive software: YOU just watch a movie, and your BRAIN pays attention to the movie getting larger or smaller, cloudy or clear. Those changes to the movie are exactly correlated to what the brain is doing. Your brain knows that, and learns from it. It's that simple!
Empirical studies report improvements in attention, intelligence, thoughts, mood, and self-control. Watch how a brain can rewire in just seconds!
Sexual violence, childhood abuse, painful medical experiences, or heartbreak can lead to isolation, destructive behaviors, hopelessness, or problems with natural body functions like sleep. digestion, and immunity. Trauma creates a reaction that is, in itself, an hypnotic state. It's the job of a skilled hypnotherapist to compassionately unlock the painful trance.
Hypnotherapy can create a natural state of mind that can produce extraordinary levels of clarity and reorganization of mind, body, and emotions. Imaging studies with fMRI show that the brain actually remodels as deeper levels of awareness calm and reorganize the way events have been experienced.
The ultimate change is that old meanings are updated with wiser and more useful ones. Following trauma, conclusions and meanings about the world can last for decades. That means that your inner child may be running the show! The ongoing trance state is why you may often act contrary to what you know to be your best interest.
Hypnotherapy is fun, interesting, and calmer than talk therapy. Hypnotherapy has nothing to do with quacking like a duck, or forgetting the number 6. We work together in a targeted way to change the specific ways that your mind has been stuck in replay or avoidance so that painful emotional reactions are able to transform into wisdom.

b HRV BIOFEEDBACK FOR CALM CENTERING
Have you always thought that your heart beats with a regular rhythm? Scientists have learned that a healthy heart accelerates with every inhalation and slows with every exhalation. This is called heart rate variability (HRV).
Not only is heart rate variability normal, but it is healthy! In fact, loss of heart rate variability is the single greatest predictor of imminent cardiac death.
The good news is that you can improve your health, outlook, longevity, and even your feeling of spirituality, by co-training your heart and breath.

Both parts of this double-conference aim at a central contemporary as well as historical problem of European politics: which forms of mobilisation are employed by political parties and movements in times of crisis and which consequences have these mobilisation strategies for the respective political systems? The conference's focus lies on the regions in East, East Central and South Europe.
As it has already been the case at the first conference at Marburg, the research context covers economic and social crises (for example the agricultural crises of the 1840ies and the late 19th century, the world economic crisis of the 1930ies, the crises of state socialism, the period of economic transformation in the 1990ies as well as the current global economic crisis). Other topics are the periods of stabilisation of societies after experiences of war or revolution (for example the periods after the Napoleonic Wars, the revolutions of 1848/49, the two world wars, the communist revolutions or after the collapse of the federative states in the early 1990ies).
