I won't lie, I feel pretty shitty about not being able to keep up here the past few weeks (or days? years? the time, it flies). I feel like this time I have a pretty good reason, though. The day has finally come – I'm moving! I knew it would happen eventually, but it snuck up on me a bit more quickly than I imagined it would. I've lived in the same place for 3+ years, and it was the first place that was truly my own.
There she is, in all her beauty. Aren't you wowed by that photoshop work? I know I'm not alone in this, but moving is one of my more hated activities in the world. I'm lucky to be able to spread it out across a few weeks, but in the meantime I've been shuttling things over to the new place bit by bit, throwing away old love letters and pictures of exes that have slipped through the cracks, and taken stock of how much importance all my belongings hold in my life — for now, and for the next 5, 10, or 50 years. It's fascinating to me how quickly we accrue items and how slow we are (or I am) to truly pay attention to how much they're needed. There's a certain richness in being able to let go of so much, and testing yourself to see how little you need to keep your emotional history intact.
I'm titillated beyond control at the thought of spending my days staring out the windows in this sunroom. Parts of the new condo will present a design challenge, but it's even more reason for me to spend my spare time poring over design blogs (emily henderson's is a current obsession, for the uninitiated) and thinking of new ways to imagine floor plans. I may hate moving, but working on interiors and gallery walls and furniture arrangement is one of my absolute best pleasures in life. Now that things are starting to slow down just a bit, I p.r.o.m.i.s.e to be a bit better about posting. My life is slowly returning to normalcy, so fingers crossed that I can make things work with a smoother rhythm here soon.
I love all of these bits and bobs immensely, but I truly have my heart set on this "it's ok" print from La Farme. be.still.my.heart.

While I was puttering around on the internet (as I do all day every day, justkiddingbutreally), I came across a spotlight on Steven Heller and Véronique Vienne's 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design. The book divides up a range of turning points for graphic design, ranging from visual puns to propaganda to found typography, and puts all of them in historical context with plenty of eye-catching images to keep the designer in all of us happy. Here are a few of my favorite examples + accompanying images:

Legislators get feedback from business people
BAXTER - Four Minnesota House members, including the chair of the Commerce and Regulatory Reform Committee, met with a small group of business representatives in a listening session Friday at the Northland Arboretum.
Rep. Joe Hoppe, R-Chaska, chair of what used to be the Commerce and Labor Committee, told business people who attended the Brainerd Lakes Area Chamber session his goal was to make it easier to start, grow and run businesses.
"We don't have anything we want to do," he said. "We're smart enough to know we don't have all the answers."
Issues that were discussed ranged from tort reform to the possibility of expanded gambling to fund a Vikings stadium.
Brian Lehman, Nisswa mayor and a representative of the Good Samaritan Society, addressed the disadvantage nursing homes sometimes face because of the disparity between Medicare pay and private pay clients. He also talked about the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency mandates that place a burden on Nisswa businesses.
"We all want to protect and care for our water," Hoppe said. "We can try to inject some common sense into it."
Hoppe said the first bill Republicans introduced dealt with permitting and regulatory reform.
Other lawmakers who attended the session included the Commerce and Regulatory Reform Committee vice chair, Rep. Tim Sanders, R-Blaine; Rep. John Ward, DFL-Brainerd, and Rep. Mike LeMieur, R-Little Falls. Ward and LeMieur are not members of the Commerce and Regulatory Reform Committee.
Responding to a question on the possibility of expanded gambling, Hoppe said there has been a lot of talk but he didn't know what gambling measures might come before the Legislature. He said the Legislature has to find a way to prevent the Minnesota Vikings from leaving the state without spending money in the general fund. He said Gov. Mark Dayton has expressed a willingness to consider gambling revenues for the Vikings.
"I don't know what the appetite is (in the Legislature) but it's certainly going to be talked about," Hoppe said.
Ward said he thought that new revenue, whether it be fees, fair taxes or gambling, might have to be a piece of the solution to the state's deficit problem. The Brainerd lawmaker also noted there are social costs that accompany an increase in gambling.
"I would be concerned if Minnesota became the Las Vegas of the Midwest," Ward said.
Both Hoppe said the Metrodome, with its roof, was useful for a variety of events.
Rep. Sanders predicted there would not be any legislation for a new stadium unless a roof was a part of the plan.
Brent Gunsbury of Bercher Design and Construction said he would like to see changes in the legal system so that those who bring a lawsuit against a company have to pay the firm's legal expenses if their case is considered to be unwarranted. Time spent defending lawsuits hurts a company's productivity and discourages hiring, he said.
One business person complained of the documentation required of dental offices by the Department of Health relating to pharmaceuticals and radiation equipment.
Jim Kraft, president of Frandsen Bank and Trust, said the government needs to control the deficit and reduce its own size. It also needs to take on tough issues, including those relating to unions.
Hoppe said there is a growing awareness about government spending and pay raises in the public sector among people he talks to around the state.
"People (in private businesses) aren't getting increases right now," Hoppe said. "It seems unfair."
Mike Riley, president of Bremer Bank, said his clients are reluctant to take chances in this economy.
"There's a real wait and see mentality," he said.

Argyle Reserve Pinot Noir (375ML half-bottle) 2009
Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
To coin a popular phrase, this is not your Mother's Reserve Pinot Noir! The wine has quiet power, yet voluptuous, sensuous fruit. The aromas offer spice of sandalwood, cedar box, and incense imbricated with lovely red and Bing cherry fruit, with a hint of moss on rock earthiness. The flavors bring out more red than black fruits which is characteristic of our Reserve vine blocks that make this wine label. The texture is super rich with surprising amounts of red cherry and cherry wood spice. This wine and the 2009 vintage are opulent enough to please the most discerning Sybarite!
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Shows an earthy edge, but the vivid cherry and black tea flavors remain vibrant as they flow against a modest burr of tannins on the long, deftly balanced finish. Drink now through 2017."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2009 Pinot Noir Reserve is a more expressive, structured effort, darker in color with aromas of violets, incense, cinnamon, black cherry, and black raspberry. Richer and more structured than the Willamette Valley cuvee, it will evolve for 2-3 years and offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2019."
Argyle Winery
Twenty-five years ago, Argyle began making wine in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Since 1987, winemaker Rollin Soles and viticulturist Allen Holstein have teamed up to produce world-class method champenoise sparkling wines, barrel-fermented Chardonnay, and silky-textured Pinor Noir from low-yielding vines that are winery farmed on some of the best hillside slopes and elevations. Argyle wines have received a total of 11 Wine Spectator Top 100 designations - more than any other winery in Oregon. The Argyle wines represented on this list include sparkling wine, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, truly making Argyle one of the finest practitioners of the craft of elegant, long-lived winegrowing.

About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

A Brooklyn man pleaded guilty on Thursday to murdering an 8-year-old Orthodox Jewish boy last year, dismembering his body and stashing the parts in his freezer and a suitcase tossed into a dumpster.
Levi Aron, 36, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and second-degree kidnapping in the death of Leiby Kletzky, who had lost his way in the Hasidic neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York where they both lived.
"I panicked," Aron told State Supreme Court Judge Neil Firetog when asked about the killing, which occurred after Aron saw posters of the missing boy plastered along the sidewalk.
Aron was charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping, and had faced life in prison, but he reached a plea deal with prosecutors under which he will get 40 years in prison with five years of supervised release when he is sentenced on Aug. 29.
Watch video of Levi Aron's court appearance.
Wearing a black yarmulke and dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, his wrists handcuffed behind his back, Aron faced the judge in state Supreme Court in Brooklyn and answered his questions in a barely audible voice.
He acknowledged kidnapping the boy and, after seeing the missing child flyers, panicked, drugged him with prescription medicine and suffocated him with a towel. He then dismembered the body and police found some of the parts in a freezer in Aron's apartment. Aron disposed of other body parts in a dumpster.
Kletzky went missing the first time he was allowed to walk home alone from a religious camp. He met Aron on the street and sought help from him after getting lost.
The boy's family agreed to the plea deal to avoid reliving the crime through a trial, said Dov Hikind, an Orthodox Jewish state assemblyman who served as a spokesman for the family.
"A day doesn't pass without thinking of Leiby, but today we close the door on this one aspect of our tragedy," the boy's father Nachman Kletzky said in a statement. "Closure does not mean we don't continue to feel the pain."
District Attorney Charles Hynes said the plea deal should allow the family and the community to begin healing.
"No one should ever forget what happened to Leiby Kletzky but we can all take solace that Levi Aron with never, ever be able to hurt anyone again," Hynes said in a statement.
Aron's lawyer said he was full of remorse. "He came in today to admit his guilt and to take responsibility for his actions… He's very remorseful in his own way," said his lawyer, Jennifer McCann.

Issue No. 04 - July/August (1999 vol. 3)
pp: 42-44
Automatic configuration for networking follows naturally from the more traditional uses of automatic configuration in standalone computers. A good wexample of standalone use was the "autoconf" feature delivered with UC Berkeley's versions of the Unix operating system. Since then, there have been more ambitious attempts to supply so-called "plug-n-play" (or, as often, "plug-n-pray") features for commodity laptop operating systems. The problem for network computing, however, is made immeasurably more complex by the proliferating numbers of computers on the Internet and the possible interactions among them.
The need for autoconfiguration is brought about by several factors, including:
• the proliferation of computing features and options,
• the large number of data formats in common use, and
• the sheer number of computers.
Even the most trivial manual configuration task can become impossible when there are hundreds or thousands of computers needing attention. Training people to perform the task themselves can frequently take longer than just manually configuring the machines.
Autoconfiguration's feasibility typically depends on one or more of the following autoconfiguration design factors:
• information availability in a standard, or at least recognizable, format;
• device-driver availability;
• system extensibility, allowing new features to be added;
• programmer understanding of user needs;
• standard APIs and protocol availability;
• a selection of good default values whenever possible; and
• system support for embedded computing devices.
Design for Extensibility
The second and third factors usually require operating support. For instance, designing for extensibility is quite tricky, and involves identifying the dimensions of the problem space for which the configurable parameters tailor solutions particular to the application (and, ultimately, the person using the application). Understanding the dimensions of the problem, and then crafting an autoconfiguration facility that will create particular instances of the solution, takes a great deal of experience, study, and often just plain good luck.
Indeed, bad luck can overcome the good effects of diligent and expert design, as evidenced by the new restrictions placed on Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (see the article, "Automated Configuration of TCP/IP with DHCP," by Ralph Droms). As you read the articles in this issue, consider how each protocol design hs been influenced by the design factors listed above.
Attaching computers to the Internet, which is currently done with DHCP, should be much easier with the deployment of IP version 6 (IPv6). In large measure, this is due to features designed into the address autoconfiguration protocols described in Thomas Narten's article "Neighbor Discovery and Stateless Autoconfiguration in IPv6." These protocols have benefited from some of the clearest thinking in autoconfiguration system design (in my opinion) by the impressive combined talents of the IPv6 engineers. And yet, even with all this talent exerted on a well-defined, narrow problem space, finer points to the protocols are still being discussed today.
Routing Protocols
Routing protocols can be considered to be autoconfiguration systems. Initially, routing was done by static routing tables, which were often distributed or updated by telephone, tape, or floppy disk. However, as the number of computers on the Internet increased, such manual configuration methods rapidly became infeasible.
With the advent of mobile computing, even the more dynamic routing protocols of the 1980s are becoming infeasible, having been based upon assumptions that are no longer true (for example, the assumption that nodes in the Internet would always be attached to the same network). Experience in the latter part of the 1980s showed that using manual configuration for routing packets to mobile computers was feasible, but only because so few mobile computers were in operation.
Automatic routing updates are more important now that there are so many mobile computers in operation. With wireless connectivity gaining importance, and with Internet availability remaining problematic in many places where computing power may be needed, it has become desirable to connect many computers by physical links that are only temporary, even without the aid of any wide-area Internet routing protocols.
Such ad hoc networks are infeasible unless enabled by new, sophisticated methods of dynamically autoconfiguring routing tables. "Internet-Based Mobile Ad Hoc Networking," by M. Scott Corson, Joseph P. Macker, and Gregory H. Cirincione, looks at these protocols. Their design is subject to the challenging problems of mobility and error-prone physical media, in addition to constraints similar to the design criteria listed earlier.
Initially, autoconfiguration systems may rely on human interaction to finalize configuration choices. As designers become more confident about the suitability of various choices, the need for human interaction will decrease until it is no longer needed. Consider, for example, a typical office setting, where people are comfortable selecting a printer from a menu of available printers discovered through an autoconfiguration program. The next logical step would be for the autoconfiguration program to make the choice, when a choice is obvious, and just make the user aware of any deviation from the usual.
As the number of network services and resources in the Internet continues to grow exponentially, browsing may become less and less desirable. Protocols such as SLP (described in the article "Service Location Protocol: Automatic Discovery of IP Network Services," by Erik Guttman), enable both browser-style, user-assisted configuration and autoconfiguration for embedded and low-level configuration requirements.
More and More Autoconfiguration
I believe that autoconfiguration systems are part of the march toward ever more capable and friendly systems. Consider how autoconfiguration may be compared with self-organizing systems. Such systems typically deal with
• multiple functions,
• multiple computers, with the functions placed among them according to any convenient heuristic, and
• more autonomous operation.
Once a feature becomes amenable to automatic configuration, it is likely to be taken for granted—as just another cog in our ever grander machines. For both this reason, and for the reason of increased user convenience, automatic configuration protocols will continue to gain importance as the network becomes larger and more important to ever more people. The future of the Internet is inextricably linked with the future availability of more autoconfiguration features for using it.
Charles E. Perkins is a senior staff engineer at Sun Microsystems, developing SLP and investigating dynamic configuration protocols for mobile networking. He holds a BA in mathematics and an MEE from Rice University, and an MA in mathematics from Columbia University. Perkins is serving as document editor for the IETF mobile-IP working group, and author or co-author of standards-track documents in other working groups such as server location, dynamic host configuration, and IPng. He is an area editor for several publications, including Mobile Communications and Computing Review, Wireless Networks, and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. He is on the editorial board of IEEE Internet Computing, and a member of the IEEE, ACM, and IETF.

On the road Can you advise the growing army of readers who travel abroad with laptops how to access their British ISPs? I used to use iPass, which was very good, but it doesn't appear to be readily available these days.
Ian Richardson
Jack Schofield replies: iPass is still going strong but is mainly used by businesses. A newer rival called NetAway www.netaway.com looks consumer friendly and may be worth a go. In general, using a local free or pay-as-you-go ISP account should be a good solution, because at least you will be able to check your mail via the web using www.web2mail.com or a similar service.
You should also be able to send mail using a mail program such as Outlook Express, as long as you remember to collect mail before trying to send any. This is because many mail servers use "POP before SMTP" authentication to discourage spammers from relaying spam. In other words, you have to be authenticated by the inbound (POP3) mail server before it lets you send outgoing mail via SMTP. NetAway avoids this problem by running a relaying service, so you have to change your outgoing address to relay.netaway.com.
Also, before travelling, be sure to get a proper dial-up number for your usual ISP, so that if necessary you can call directly while you are abroad. If the worst comes to the worst, you can use a web-based service to delete spam and viruses from your mailbox, then use a dial-up line or even a mobile phone connection to download important email.
Avant guard
How do I get rid of Mysearchnow. com? I use Avant as my browser, but it has attached itself to Internet Explorer as well.
Brian Frew
JS: Mysearchnow.com is a version of the hated Lop (Live online portal) browser hijacker. SpyBot should be able to remove it. If it fails, try running it with your PC started in Safe Mode. For details of the Lop problem, see www.spy-bot.net/lop.asp. Incidentally, Avant - which offers tabbed browsing and popup blocking - is one of the many alternative browsers based on the same operating system components as Internet Explorer. It is not a wholly separate browser like, say, Firefox.
Ring the changes
My PC is afflicted by regular popups from a site called 680180.net, which offers me SMS ringtones. The site repeatedly opens new instances of Internet Explorer and, if left unattended, eventually crashes the computer.
Michael Salkeld
JS: 680180 is advertising scumware from 680180 Inc www.680180.net, and works in Windows as a Browser Helper Object (BHO). An earlier variant was called Zamingo, so it should be removed by Pest Patrol, or try the manual instructions at www.spyany.com. The more complicated alternative is to run HiJackThis and delete the 68010 files. For an example, see http://forums.spywareinfo.com.
Who needs it?
I can see a commercial use for broadband, but I am yet to be convinced of any real need for ordinary computer users: it seems an expensive way of downloading DVDs, MP3s and other music files. My concern is whether providers will continue offering dial-up services, as many seem to be pushing for universal broadband.
L. Nelson
JS: I am sure that dial-up services will continue for many years. Most users may have access to broadband or Wi-Fi most of the time, but sometimes only dial-up will be available. However, dial-up services will become increasingly unusable as websites and email messages become larger to exploit the extra capabilities of broadband. Either way, broadband is not just about download speeds: the fact that it is "always on" makes a big difference to how you use the net.
· Last week, Jonathan Carr said his PC had a wavy screen. I suggested he check the monitor cable, among other things. Niall Bacon added that it could also be a loose video card, so it might be worth removing the card and reinstalling it. Other readers found the cause was outside interference. For example, David J Jones's monitor suffered odd distortions caused by an oscillating fan.
· Andy Brown's query about renumbering 2,000 image files attracted a large response. Software developer Alex Marland recommended a freeware application, AF5.5 Rename Your Files for ease of use and control. Many readers suggested using the rename function in their picture viewing and management software: Jim Elks recommend ACDSee, Steven Pickett the freeware program, Irfanview, while James Carter picked the powerful IMtach. Iain Row of Prominent Media Ltd wrote Andy a short bit of VBScript to do the job. Finally, Matthew Pescud wanted a follow-up answer on renaming MP3 files so he can store tracks in alphabetical order. Any suggestions?

The Grass Is Greener
Robert Mangold (Bob to everyone in the Colorado art scene) is surely the dean of Denvers contemporary sculptors, with a fifty-year career under his belt. His best-known pieces are those colorful and familiar whirligigs called Anemotive Kinetics, a number of which can be seen around town. Still, its been years since hes presented a solo of his own work in Denver his wife, Peggy, cant even remember the last time so the eponymous Robert Mangold at Artyard: Contemporary Sculpture, his combination studio and gallery, is definitely something special. But its made even more special by the fact that it almost didnt happen.
Over the past year, Mangold had a couple of brushes with death, which raised the question of whether hed even be alive to do a show. Fortunately, Im still involved in the series Space, Time and Motion, muses Mangold, referencing both his current sculpture and his health struggles. Last fall and winter, there was some concern about whether my time had ended along with my motion and space.
But Mangold pulled through, and his impressive exhibit opens October 2 with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. both inside and outside Artyard, 1251 South Pearl Street. The show, whihc continues through December, includes some sculptures Mangold was working on when he was stricken, plus a group of just-completed pieces. I am pleased to have finished new works, Mangold says, but Im most pleased to be looking at the grass from the green side. And we should all be pleased to be looking at this exhibit. For more information, call 303-777-3219.

All mountain board for intermediate/advanced
I've been snowboarding for 10 years now but usually take 1 trip per year out west and ride for about 5 days. I own my own boots but I've always rented a board and have decided to buy one. I'm looking for something under 300 but i'll go up to 350 for a great board. I've been looking at mainly left over 2012s. I want an all mountain board that is great on groomers, can handle the occasional pow day and just a little bit of use in the park.
My stats are:
- Int/adv. rider
- 5'6, 145lbs
- 10 boot
I'm considering
- 2013 Capita NAS 153
- 2012 K2 Raygun 153
- 2012 Ride Machete 152
These are all under 300. I'm completely open to recomendations and have no clue what to get. I'll be going to the Canyons in march so want something fast as I heard there are a lot of flat spots but I know the Capita and K2 are extruded bases.
I have the 12 Machete, and love it. You can flat base it and bomb the whole mountain, if you're looking for speed. I was able to maintain an edge even on icy conditions at a good fast pace...nothing like a cambered board, but good enough to have control at high speeds.
Starting to learn to ride switch, and definitely much easier than on my cambered board. Pop, just learning to make jumps, but definitely can feel a huge difference next to my old board.
Out of that list the Machete. The Raygun is a great board, but you might get board of it after a while. It's an extruded base as well vs the Machete's sintered.
Machete is going to be fairly stiff though so that's something to keep in mind if you hit jibs.
Lots of pop, super stable, and mellow rocker profile. One of my favorite Ride boards for sure.
+1 for the 2012 Machete. First board I bought (I'm intermediate/advanced) and it has been great both on hardpack/icy stuff at home (New Zealand) and medium pack and powder in BC. Learning some freestyle stuff now and it's excellent for that too.
The best thing about it - every time I screw up, I can point to something I did wrong. Never feels like the board is the problem! It's been able to handle pretty much everything I've thrown at it so far.
With a size 10 boot you may want to consider the 154W. I'm size 12 and ride the 157W.
Machete, I really wish that is what I had gotten instead of my Rome reverb rocker, which is currently for sale and I'm buying a Never Summer raptor. Not that the reverb rocker is bad, it is just way to soft for me since I don't do park, I tried to get into park which is why I bought it but park just isn't my thing
Thanks for the quick responses! I think I'll be going with the machete. Does 152 seem like the right size for 145 lbs?
Ride Snowboard Size Chart 2012 - Men's | evo
At 145lbs, and size 10 you'd be in the sweet spot for the 154W I would've thought (125-175lbs and size 9.5-11). Whereas for the 152 you're at the top of the weight range and above the boot size range.
I tend to put a bit of emphasis on the boot size aspect. But maybe because that's I have size 12 feet and I really don't want toe drag!
He won't need a wide with size 10 boots. I had a couple size 10 boots and currently use a 9.5. I've never needed a wide board and always hated them when I had to ride them at demos.
Ya I think I'd rather avoid wide. I've always ridden normal width boards and a 10 is a pretty normal show size. Now should I go for the 152 or 155? I'm short at only 5'6 but I do very little park.
Fair enough, wish I didn't have to worry quite so much about my big-ass size 12 feet!

Great Job~Rated.
Happy Valentine's Day
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many years. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a month.
One day, they were drinking coffee when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me... I know we've been friends for a long time but I just can't think of your name.. I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it.
Please tell me what your name is."
Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said,
"How soon do you need to know?"
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to a set of traffic lights. The lights were on red, but they just went straight on through.
The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another major junction and the lights were on red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting really nervous.
At the next junction, sure enough, the lights were once again on red and they went straight through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Sylvia, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!"
Sylvia turned to her and said, "Oh! What.....am I driving?"
This is NOT Senior Citizen Humor LMAO
Rumor is that this didn't make the cut for a Super Bowl Commercial, even tho it was filmed in N'Orlins.

(Note: capitalized words indicate loud talking or shouting !)
One day this older couple was pulled over by a Nevada highway patrolman.
The old man was driving and the old woman was hard of hearing (I wouldn't know anything about that)
The patrolman asked the old man for his drivers license
The old woman screamed "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
The old man replied "HE WANTS TO SEE MY DRIVERS LICENSE"
Upon looking at the license the patrolman said "I see that you are from California ?"
The old lad shouted "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
The old man replied "HE SAID HE NOTICED WE WERE FROM CALIFORNIA !"
Then the patrolman said "I used to be married to a woman from there and she was the sorriest lover, the laziest and meanest woman on the plant !"
The old woman hollered "WHAT DID HE SAY?"
The old man replied "HE SAID HE THINKS HE KNOWS YOU !"
Irish toast
Seamus hoisted his beer and said: "Here's to spending the rest of me life between the legs of me wife!" - and he took home the top prize for the best toast of the night.
In bed later that night, he told his wife: "Mary, I won the prize for the best toast of the night." She said, "Aye, Seamus, what was your toast?"
So he told her: "Here's to spending the rest of me life sitting in church beside me wife."
"Oh," she said, "that is very nice, dear."
The next day, Mary ran into one of Paddy's drinking partners in the street. Mischievously, the man said: "Did you hear about your husband winning a prize in the pub the other night for a toast about you, Mary?"
She replied: "Aye - and I was a bit surprised. Till now, he's only been down there twice. Once he fell asleep, and the other time I had to pull him by the ears to make him come".
the rich blonde
Carolyn, a rich blonde, buys a new automatic Jaguar XKR Sport.
She drives the car perfectly well during the day, but at night, the car just won't move at all. After trying to drive the car at night for a week (but without any luck), she furiously calls the Jaguar dealer and they send out a technician.
The technician examines the car and finds nothing wrong with it. So he turns to the blonde and asks:
"Ma'am, are you sure you are using the right gears?"
Full of anger, the blonde replies: "You fool, you idiot, how on earth you could ask such a question? I'm not stupid you know! Of course I am using the right gears,
I use D during the day and N at night."
A bunch of guys, all aged 40, discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally, it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because the waitresses were fit & wore miniskirts.
Ten years later, at age 50, the friends once again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because the food and service was good and the beer was excellent.
Ten years later, at age 60, the friends again discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because they could dine in peace and quiet and it was good value for money.
Ten years later, at age 70, the friends discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because the restaurant was wheelchair accessible and had a lift for the disabled.
Ten years later, at age 80, the friends discussed where they should meet for lunch. Finally it was agreed that they would meet at Hooters because they had never been there before.

Let's face it, you're bad luck!
IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling.
I'm not sure the IRS finds ...that believable.'
I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says
Grandpa. 'How about a demonstration?'
... The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'
Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'
The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it.
The auditor's jaw drops.
Grandpa says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.'
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
'Want to go double or nothing?' Grandpa asks 'I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there's no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win.
But Grandpa's attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.
'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Grandpa told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and you'd be happy about it.

One time there was a Chinese feller that opened a restaurant in the Bronx of NY and it happened to be right across from a long time and well established Greek Restaurant. Every morning when they would unlock their doors the Greek would holler out
"Ha Soo Ling Foo how's yer Flench Flied Slimp?"
and it would make the Chinese owner very mad.
This went on for several months and finnaly one day there was a sign on the Chinese Restaurant's door that said "Temporarily Closed - - have decided to go back to school and learn how to speak proper English"
Well, several months went by and one day there was a sign saying:
So the Greek dude was waiting for him the next day and sure enuff he shouts out:
"Ha Soo Ling Foo how's yer Flench Flied Slimp?"
and the Chinese owner shout back:
"My French Fried Shrimp is Absolutely Delicious - - - - - YOU CLAZY GLEEK"
parental guidence
A mother and father took their 6-year-old son to a nude beach. As the boy walked along the beach, he noticed that some of the ladies had boobs bigger than his mothers, and asked her why.
She told her son, "The bigger they are the dumber the person is."
The boy pleased with the answer, goes to play in the ocean but returns to tell his mother that many of the men have larger "units" than his dad.
His mother replied, "The bigger they are the dumber the person is." Again satisfied with this answer, the boy returns to the ocean to play.
Shortly after, the boy returned again. He promptly told his mother, "Daddy is talking to the dumbest girl on the beach, and the longer he talks, the dumber he gets."
(reminds me of this oldie)
A very well endowed young lady lost her bikini top while swimming in the surf and was running back to the bath houses and at the same time trying to cover her bouncing breasts with just her arms.
A little boy sees her coming and shouts "Lady, if you're giving those puppies away, I want the one with the pink nose !"

Mandatory Referral
What is Mandatory Referral?
Mandatory Referral is a review process through which all public sector development projects (from federal, state, and local governments) and public and private utilities are referred to the Planning Board for review. Because the Planning Board's decision and recommendations are advisory only, an applicant may overrule the Planning Board's disapproval and proceed with the proposed project. However, Planning Board recommendations can improve a project, and submitting agencies often adopt them.
According to state law (Section 20-301 through 305 of the Land Use Article), all federal, state, and local governments and public utilities are required to submit proposed projects (for example, roadway improvements, schools, public buildings, fire and police stations, and others) in Prince George's County for a Mandatory Referral review by the Prince George's County Planning Board.
What Is Included in the Mandatory Referral Review Uniform Standards?
The steps for the Mandatory Referral Review process are as follows:

Green there, done that
Hilary Benn, the environment secretary, says he wants Britain to have a "green homes" service, where auditors will come to people's houses to advise them how to save energy. Nice idea, Benn, but look no further than City Hall in London, where former Friends of the Earth director Charles Secrett has been working with Ken Livingstone's green team for almost two years devising exactly this kind of scheme. Eco Soundings challenges Benn to better the plan, which also involves training the long-term unemployed and so linking environment and poverty agendas. It's about to be made public and Eco Soundings offers to fix you up an appointment.
Doomed if we do . . .
"Grim Jim" Lovelock, the independent scientist who developed the Gaia theory and who has sold a fair few trees' worth of books, does a great impression of all four horsemen of the apocalypse. On Monday, he told the Royal Society in a lecture about climate change that we are doomed if we do nothing, but just as doomed if we do what scientists say we must do. How come? Current global warming, says Lovelock, is being partially offset by "global dimming", the up-to-3C of global cooling caused by aerosol particles in the atmosphere from man-made pollution. "Any cutback in fossil fuel use which lessened the aerosol density would intensify the heating," he says. "If there were a 100% cut in fossil fuel combustion it might get hotter, not cooler.".
Climatic paradox
Lovelock may have given up but, thankfully, most people haven't. So, over to George Monbiot of this parish, John Sauven, director of Greenpeace, and Claire Fauset, from the Camp for Climate Action, who will show "how we can win the race against climate catastrophe" at The Friends Meeting House, 173 Euston Road, London NW1, at 7pm on November 8. Their top tip? Don't listen to Grim Jim.
Plane speaking
Hilary Benn made his presentation about the climate change bill at Kew Gardens in west London on Monday. Trying to add a little levity to the occasion, he commented that the noise of planes taking off and landing at nearby Heathrow airport miraculously stopped when he was speaking. This did not go down well. It was pointed out that this was because the runways are alternated so residents can get some relief from noise - an arrangement the government wants to scrap to allow tens of thousands of extra flights a year.
Play your cards right
Which is the greenest car of all? The answer could be in the new Top Trumps eco-vehicles, coming soon to a school near you in time for Christmas. The brainchild of the Marches Energy Agency, the cards compare the emissions, range and top speeds of your favourite forms of green transport. The Top Trumps brand does not come cheap, and the cards have been put together with the generous support of Toyota, Honda and several other vehicle manufacturers, all of which were anxious that their vehicle's card would be the most wanted. Now boys, play nicely.
Money talks, ethics walk
When the independent Committee on Radioactive Waste Management proposed this year that the government should reward any UK community that volunteers for a deep nuclear waste repository, it did not go down well at the Treasury. The energy department papers leaked to the Guardian last week showed clearly that the Treasury is resisting because it knows that only Copeland in Cumbria, where Sellafield is located, will apply. Word is that Copeland is now holding out for a cool £1bn and has the government over a barrel.

With no end in sight to the labor dispute between the NFL and its referees, new replacement officials will now be in place for the foreseeable future and no-one is happy about it.
Let me be clear: the job of an NFL referee is not an easy one. Diminutive men armed with not much more than a whistle stand side by side with modern-day gladiators as they attempt to rip each other to shreds for 3 hours and are asked to uphold the law.
But no-one is perfect; and mistakes are inevitably going to be made. As we wait for the strike to end, lets take a look back at some of the worst calls in NFL history.
Chargers vs. Broncos - Sept. 14, 2008
With 1:14 remaining in regulation, the Broncos are a yard away from the end zone and a game-tying touchdown. Jay Cutler took the snap, faked the handoff, rolled out of the pocket but lost his grip on the football as he wound up to throw and fumbled. San Diego LB Tim Dobbins recovered the loose ball and the Chargers were a few kneel-downs away from a win. But much to the dismay of the Charger faithful, Ed Hochuli blew the play dead before Dobbins could recover the football, believing it was an incomplete pass. Replay proved otherwise but because the play had been whistled dead, Hochuli could not award possession to San Diego. The Broncos went on to win the game a few plays later.
In Hochuli's defense, he has repeatedly gone on record, admitting that he made the call that cost San Diego the game. The NFL would pass a rule the following offseason allowing such plays to be reviewable under the instant replay rule for the 2009 NFL season.
Packers vs. 49ers - January 3, 1998
In San Francisco 49ers lore, there are two last-second, heroic touchdown receptions simply known as The Catch and The Catch II. The latter, being arguably the greatest moment of Terrell Owens' career, in which after having a terrible game he became a legend by catching a 25-yard strike from Steve Young to win the game. Just one problem: it should have never happened. Down by four points with less than a minute remaining in the NFC Wild Card game, the 49ers drove their way into Packer territory. On a second-down play, Jerry Rice was tackled after hauling in a pass on a short crossing route and fumbled but the referee whistled the play dead, saying Rice was down by contact. The replay said otherwise. (play is at 3:50 mark)
Steelers vs. Lions - November 26, 1998
Let's face it: referees are usually old, and with old age comes bad hearing. Still, if your ears are so bad that you can't understand what the guy right next to you is saying, you probably shouldn't be an NFL referee. When a thanksgiving game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions went into overtime, reps from both teams met at the midfield for the coin toss to decide who would have the ball first. Referee Phil Luckett asked Steelers running back Jerome Bettis if he wanted heads or tails and Bettis called "tails". Problem is, Luckett heard "heads".
The Lions scored a field goal on their first possession of the overtime to win the game.
Raiders vs. Patriots - January 19, 2002
Calls can cost teams a play, a possession, even a game. But rarely do you see a blown call so big, so historic, it changes the direction of the franchises involved FOREVER.
Ladies and gentlemen, the birth of "The Tuck Rule".
The Patriots would go on to win several Superbowls, becoming one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history, and the Raiders would lose in the Superbowl the following year before beginning a depressing fade into obscurity.

Ten Things to Love About Brazil
Trip Start Jan 03, 2004
26Trip End Dec 2004
We wish we could say that we�ve had the best of the best here in Brazil, but it�s too hard to say. The country is massive, and we�ve seen only a speck. Brazil is bigger than the United States if you exclude Alaska. Our trip is equivalent to a Brazilian flying to New York City for a few days (in our case Rio de Janeiro) and then traveling around Texas for three weeks (in our case the state of Bahia). We utilized every mode of transportation, sometimes in one day
We�ve seen so much that a blow-by-blow account would try anyone�s patience, so we�ve decided instead to give you our Ten Things to Love About Brazil (kindly borrowed from our fellow world-traveling friends Gail and Sean who inspired us earlier with their Ten Reasons to Fall in Love with Bali travelogue):
10) Sliding down the Ribeirao waterslide- This waterslide was unlike anything you'll find at your local swim club. Our water slide was a huge slab of red rock covered in a slick layer of algae with a river to propel you down fifty feet on your butt into a large pool of water. The Ribeirao waterslide was one of the major attractions of the Chapada Diamantina, a huge national park several hundred miles inland. We stayed in the nearby town of Lencois and enjoyed the natural wonders of the park. We also rock-hopped up the river to the beautiful Sossego waterfall and climbed to the top of Pai Ignacio for a beautiful view of the tabletop mountains of the park.
9) Partying in Pelourinho- Pelourinho is the historic center and main tourist attraction of Salvador, the vibrant capital of the state of Bahia. Ornate colonial style churches line cobblestone streets. There always seemed to be something going on with Tuesday nights really drawing out the crowds. We sat outside that night and listened to live Samba music
8) Watching capoeira in Salvador- Another form of dance we saw in Salvador is capoeira. African slaves in Brazil originally developed capoeira as a martial art form to fight their colonial masters. It was turned into an acrobatic dance form so the slaves could practice. It was banned for most of the past century until it gradually became recognized as a form of artistic expression. We saw a capoeira demonstration at a school in Pelourinho. The dancers form a semi-circle in which rotating pairs spar in a non-contact display of kicks and evasive maneuvers accompanied by a rhythmic playing of drums.
7) Getting a bowl of a�ai for a late-night snack -- Brazil is the mecca for cheap and delicious exotic fruit. Many fruit do not have an English name, for example acai (pronounced ah-sah-ee), which has a gritty forest berry taste and deep purple color. However, when blended frozen with guarana juice (another Amazonian fruit) and bananas, it makes an icy sweet treat
6) Laying on the beach of Morro do Sao Paulo -- Morro do Sao Paolo is an island off the coast of Bahia. You can either take a slow boat from the town of Valenca or a fast boat from Salvador to get there. We have especially fond memories of the island because our first day there was our first day of sunshine after 10 straight days of rain. We were also there on Thanksgiving when we gave thanks the sun continued to shine upon us. Morro do Sao Paolo offers some fantastic beaches with a beautiful island setting. Although the area has become extremely popular and developed, there still aren't any cars or paved roads on the island. "Taxis" on the island were wheelbarrows skillfully driven by muscular men who would tote guests' bags from the pier to the various beachfront guesthouses.
5) Eating fresh clams at Maria�s in Boipeba- On the small island of Boipeba, near where the small boats unload their cargo, is a shack with one long table and a few plastic chairs inside and tables and chairs outside
4) Looking forward to cafe da manha -- When it comes to breakfast (cafe da manha), Brazilians don't mess around. We don't know if they eat huge breakfasts regularly, but most of the guesthouses we stayed at had a wonderful spread of fresh fruit, cakes, coffee and juices awaiting us when we awoke. Pousada Santa Clara in Boipeba won our prize for "Best Breakfast." Each morning, they served us a different spread. We ate homemade breads, watermelon juice, pineapple, cakes, mangoes, tapioca, empanadas and other goodies. Sometimes we looked forward to falling asleep because we know we'd get to eat breakfast the next morning!
3) Attending a candomble ceremony- In the state of Bahia, it is possible to witness a candomble ceremony, a practice of an African cult brought over to Brazil by slaves
2) Getting the thumbs-up from a Brazilian -- Another reason to love Brazil is the friendly and fun-loving people. We could sense their easy-going, laid-back attitude from the minute we first stepped off the plane. We also noticed that they always seem to be giving the thumbs-up sign. While in some countries the thumbs-up is an obscene gesture, in Brazil it seems to convey just about every possible message. You place an order. Thumbs-up. You see someone on the street. Thumbs-up. By the end of our month in Brazil, we too were giving everyone the thumbs up. Maybe we'll bring it home to the states and start a new trend
1) Hanggliding over the Atlantic Ocean and Rio de Janiero- All year we had been looking forward to Rio de Janeiro for the chance to see how it feels to fly. Rio is a world famous hanggliding locale, particularly off the 510 meter Pedra Bonita on Pepino Beach. Even Jill, who you would be hard pressed to describe as an adrenaline junkie, was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, rain and clouds nixed our chances of hanggliding during our four days in Rio when we arrived in Brazil. We had one more shot the morning before our flight to Miami on our way to St. Kitts. A few clouds hung over Pedra Bonita, but the sky over the beach was clear. Jill went first tandem with our pilot Chico. One moment, she was strapping on a helmet and it seemed like the next moment she was running down a short runway into the clouds. Suddenly nothing was below her feet, the clouds were behind her and down below she could see trees, beach and an endless stretch of blue ocean. The journey was smooth as we coasted over the treetops that looked like broccoli, the tall apartment buildings and then over the water. For a few seconds, Chico stopped the hangglider to experience a free fall. The stomach-in-throat feeling was similar to riding a rollercoaster, but knowing you're not attached to anything mechanical on the ground gave the thrill a new dimension. Andy flew second and enjoyed the sensation of floating and the peacefulness of gliding in air. The anticipation and thrill of takeoff were worth the wait. After our flights, Chico treated us to cold coconut water and acai. He said hanggliding was our "golden key" to end our stay in Brazil.
There are so many reasons to love Brazil, we could probably keep going. Hopefully we'll bring you another 10 reasons on our next trip to the country. We'd love to visit again and see Iguazu Falls in the south, the Amazon and the beaches in the north. But first, we need to learn some more Portuguese and meet some Brazilians who can show us around. Until then, eating churrascaria at a Brazilian rodizio in our hometown will suffice!

Over the past year, tweeting about politics has gradually become something I do almost every day. Until recently, though, I never thought it would be something I'd do for a letter grade, especially with approximately a hundred other students.
In fact, last Wednesday, #ElectionClass's first day, brought an interesting juxtaposition because I experienced the familiar mixed with the new and exciting. My habitual routine of tweeting about politics was transformed from a hobby to an academic pursuit. As of Wednesday, I was officially taking my first class focused on a subject matter that hadn't even finished happening yet: Social Media and the 2012 Election.
The Class
Wednesday's kick-off to the course featured two very different halves; I'll start my recap of the course with the first one. Within minutes of walking into the #ElectionClass auditorium, a video featuring all of the Republican presidential primary candidates began playing and Professor Anthony Rotolo took a quick survey of how many students had watched the Republican National Convention (around a quarter of the class) and how many students at least knew that it was happening (everyone).
The class then began discussing some basic political terminology. #ElectionClass consists of the undergraduate section that is hosted by the School of Information Studies in addition to a graduate section that is hosted by the Maxwell School. I am taking the course through the iSchool as an undergraduate, so this recap will focus on the course from that perspective. Because #ElectionClass contains a large number of students without Political Science backgrounds, a review of some terminology was necessary.
Professor Rotolo used Republican Primary Candidates to explain the basics of libertarianism, social conservatism, and brushed on the topic of their campaign strategies. Afterward, a video was shown that explained the electoral college in a humorous and simple manner.
The first half of the class essentially laid out the foundation for what we would continue to learn throughout the rest of the year with some highlights: A video clip of Herman Cain quoting Pokemon on the campaign trail, a brief discussion of Obama doing an IAMA on Reddit, the beginning of the #ElectionClass meme, and the announcement that #ElectionClass had become a trending topic in the United States!
The Campaign
The first portion of the class set the tone for a semester that will include tweets and analysis of current events, an election night party, as well as lots and lots of memes. A brief intermission was taken before the second half of class which included the (even more) hands-on portion of the course. The class was broken up into 14 different groups that would run faux presidential campaigns, while the graduate students in the course would represent members of the media. Each group elected one member to be their candidate for president of Amercia–yes, Amercia, just like the initial typo in Mitt Romney's mobile app.
The 14 groups were given no names of a candidate, but a simple description of their candidate such as "Former moderate Republican governer from Massachusetts" or "Satirical comedy host turned politician." The groups were instructed to formulate their own fictional character who bears similarities to the individual they were given, but is not a mirror image. The seven democratic campaigns and seven republican campaigns are further broken up by assigning roles such as 'campaign manager,' 'social media strategist,' and 'policy advisor' to members of the group.
As the semester goes on, the campaigns will have their candidates face off in primary debates, fire members who don't contribute (or who make mistakes), and eventually vote to elect a president of Amercia on the same night we elect a president of America.
I personally was fortunate enough to be nominated by my campaign to be our candidate for president. My character is a moderate Republican former governor from Massachusetts whose name is Samantha Adams (get it?). While Samantha Adams' political views don't align with my own, I'm excited to step outside my comfort zone, research northeastern conservatism more deeply, and participate in such a unique experience.
Looking Ahead
While I'm sure there will be a lot of silliness, satire, and jokes along the way from the candidates (in fact, we already have a candidate named Hugh Jass) I genuinely believe we will gain a much better understanding of our political system, specifically how a social media campaign is run for a present-day presidential candidate. Despite President Obama heavily utilizing social media to win the 2008 election, there is still a surprising lack of resources dedicated to studying its use. In #ElectionClass, we will be dissecting, analyzing and studying how politicians use social media during the upcoming election in addition to managing our own campaigns.
Although I'm sure it will be as much work as it will be fun, I couldn't be more proud or excited to be partaking in such a revolutionary college course.

Here's something to add to your reading list:
Alyssa Milano is in love; she has been for some time. But the object of her affection isn't the subject of tabloid gossip or an actor; in fact, it isn't even a guy. It's a game, a game of nine innings that uses a ball made of leather and cork. A game called baseball.
Now in Safe at Home, Alyssa Milano, the mind behind the bestselling sports-clothing line Touch, tells the story about her lifelong obsession with baseball, revealing what the game has meant to her and why everyone should take a chance on nine innings. Like it does for so many of us, Alyssa's baseball story begins with a father. A native Brooklynite who scorned the Dodgers for abandoning the city he loved, her father was reunited with the team when he and his young daughter moved out west for a fledging TV show called Who's the Boss. It was then that Alyssa learned one of the fundamental truths of the game: No matter where you are, no matter how old you are, baseball connects you to your past.
If I'm counsel for the Yankees or the Giants, I read this book closely, because it may very well contain an explanation as to how Pavano and Zito got totally wrecked. Maybe they can sue Milano for damages or something. I'm available for that deposition, by the way.
(thanks to Mark Armour, whose books aren't nearly as sexy as this one will be, for the heads up)

One of the most important books of the growing feminist movement of the 1950s, The Golden Notebook was brought to the attention of a wider public by the Nobel Prize award to Doris Lessing in 2007.
Author Anna Wulf attempts to overcome writer's block by writing a comprehensive "golden notebook" that draws together the preoccupations of her life, each of which is examined in a different notebook: sources of her creative inspiration in a black book, communism in a red book, the breakdown of her marriage in a yellow book, and day-to-day emotions and dreams in a blue book. Anna's struggle to unify the various strands of her life - emotional, political, and professional - amasses into a fascinating encyclopaedia of female experience in the '50s.
In this authentic, taboo-breaking novel, Lessing brings the plight of women's lives from obscurity behind closed doors into broad daylight. The Golden Notebook resonates with the concerns and experiences of a great many women and is a true modern classic, thoroughly deserving of its reputation as a feminist bible. A notoriously long and complex work, it is given a new life by this - its first unabridged recording.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.
©1962 Doris Lessing (P)2010 Naxos Audiobook
"The Golden Notebook is Doris Lessing's most important work and has left its mark upon the ideas and feelings of a whole generation of women." (Elizabeth Hardwick, New York Times Book Review)
"Beautifully Perceptive"
A wonderfully perceptive writer, Lessing captures the nuances of dialogue and emotion brilliantly. I at several points had to stop and think about the writer's ability to create such brilliant authenticity in fiction. The central character, Anna, is presented with such subtlety and complexity that her thoughts on sexual politics, relationships and frustrated desires become immediately gripping. The narration by Juliet Stevenson enlivens the prose of this book and gives the perfect voice to Anna.
"it's all very odd, isn't?"
delightful at times, painful most of the time. well worth a listen, but I was glad when I finally heard audible's hope..
Juliet Stevenson helps with soldiering through it all.
"Very very long"
Well this is a book about navel gazing. Not my thing. But beautifully written and performed.
The level of introspection was profound to a point of mental health concerns and beyond.
"Stricken, hard, difficult..."
...with little pleasure for reader/listener. Worth the time but at times terribly claustrophobic and painful.
"Utterly awful"
We covered this book for book club. Only 2 managed to finish it and both of us really struggled to do so and rated it 2/10.
It isn't really a story just a jumble of thoughts.
Yes she was the only redeeming factor, she is a great actress.
I disliked it all
Don't torture yourself by buying this book
The book takes too long to get anywhere. I tried to put up til Chapter 28 and then decided life was to short to force myself to read it. I saw the great reviews on Audible and really wanted to love it because some of the reviews said it touched on feminist issues. Alas, in the end I just couldn't bear it any longer.
"Juliet Stevenson's reading kept me listening"
Juliet Stevenson delivers an excellent performance. I liked the way she made all the characters come alive with intonation as much as accent.
Doris Lessing was a clever writer and the first chapter had me laughing out loud it was so humorous. But the novel snakes through the main character - Anna's life with many twists and turns, I found myself losing interest in Anna's reflective notebook accounts. I persevered only because of Juliet's reading.
"At times delightful at times depressing"
Beautifully read by Juliet Stevenson. An intellectual work that needs a great deal of attention to understand all of its meanings - if that is possible. But as a woman I found there were several "Ah yes" moments. It is very much about mental breakdown as well as relationships between friends, men, women, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers and children.
Not to be read or listened to if you feel in need of cheering up!
"Transcendent narration of a masterpiece."
Juliet Stevenson's narration of this classic (which I'd not read since college) is so extraordinary, I have found myself listening to this recording repeatedly, replaying favorite passages, etc. In narrating various characters' dialogue, she maintains consistency of voice and pitch, so the listener (even if somewhat distracted by chores or what have you) is generally able to keep all these lines of narrative straight - no small feat, considering the book's complexity.
I will not only return to this recording again, but I will also seek out additional recordings by the same narrator.
Finally, I will add that the recording is quite well-produced; glitches are nearly non-existent, which seems fantastic given the length of this work.
"Unexpected treat"
I downloaded this simply because Lessing died recently and I felt guilty that I had never read her. The narrator was also an incentive.
To my surprise, although I loved the book , found the heroine to be completely believable and found it confusing, (had to go back and re-listen) it was the structure of the book as well as the writing that I found completely compelling and absorbing. This book was dismissed in the past as a 1960's feminist tract. It's so much more than a book about a woman in the 60's. Juliet Stevenson is a superb reader: there are accents and dialects involved and she nails every one. I think this book is a keeper and I will listen again.
"Really difficult."
Juliet Stevenson is my current favorite reader, and I thought I liked Doris Lessing. This novel is no less difficult now that it was when I first read it 35 years ago. Historical, interesting and terribly close scrutiny of human relationships. And Stevenson never disappoints, but Lessings work is trying.
"Groundbreaking novel turns stereotypes upside down"
When I first read Erica Jong's Fear of Flying, I was surprised with the ground it was breaking as far as the role of women and their sexuality, the "taking back" as it were, of the sexual landscape. When I read the Golden Notebook, I realized the ground had been broken a decade before.
The novel takes place somewhere around the 1950s and earlier in England. Anna Wulf, a writer, has decided to shun convention. Although she has been married, she is now divorced, and she sleeps with men somewhat carelessly, a contradiction to the Donna Reed stereotypes of the time. She speaks graphically about sex and orgasms and a woman's supposed "place" in society. She is alternately seduced and disillusioned by the Communist party and, perhaps because this novel takes place in England (and was published there), she confronts these subjects bluntly.
There are a lot of frame narratives in the book -- four journals Anna has written in tell her stories, as well as the outside frame of Anna herself. This can get confusing, and while this style is also groundbreaking and in line with postmodern traditions, it can be laborious at times. Still, there are some meaningful moments and if you are willing to be patient, this book will reward you.
"The Best"
First, Juliet Stevenson is to my mind the best narrator. Period. I would want her to read any book I might write--even it was about boxing.
I think The Golden Notebook is, by general agreement, the best and most original "feminist novel." It's the one book every feminist writer of any sort looks to for advice. What's amazing to me on rereading is how completely pertinent and alive it is--and how very moving, exciting, and overwhelming. Each of her characters gets up and walks around the room in front of you. They are all now part of my life.
The structure of The Golden Notebook--a form that has been followed (imitated?) in thousands of novels, movies and TV shows for the last fifty years--still works best here in the original as a portrayal of the idea of a woman's fragmented life. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL! Even David Foster Wallace should have acknowledged Lessing in his books, along with Gaddis and every other post-modern stylist.
The Golden Notebook also offers brilliant glimpses into a history that has been obscured by passing events. Where else can you understand the circumstances in which becoming a Communist would be reasonable and right, then feel how shattering disillusionment would be because it was all so obviously wrong? Papa Joe Stalin? Ridiculous! But that's how we won the war. And where would Lessing's Zimbabwe be without the true believers who fought so hard to emerge from the shell of Rhodesia?
The 2007 Nobel Prize citation said Lessing recorded the female experience "with scepticism, fire and visionary power" and "subjected a divided civilisation to scrutiny," but this book sings a much greater song: a woman growing stronger and more beautiful by searching for an independent self on whom everyone depends.
"Complex and compelling"
There were many things I loved about this novel - above all it's a fascinating slice of post-war, pre-sexual revolution, cold war history through the eyes of a rule-bending middle class British woman (Lessing's alter ego?). The structure of the narrative provides a fragmented, prism-like view of Anna's life and times as it alternates between her various notebooks - listeners should be aware of this challenge in the beginning, until it becomes clear what each notebook represents and contains. Some of these (the Africa vignettes) were more interesting to me than others (the Communist Party deconstructions), and there were definitely times when Anna's difficulties and choices got a more than a little annoying, but ultimately it was an enlightening and unforgettable literary experience.
And finally, a word about Juliet Stevenson, the narrator: I believe she could make a phone book sound lively and distinctive... She's one of the reasons I delved into this recording in the first place, and she did not disappoint; her ability to create characters is unmatched (in spite of a little awkwardness with the American accents), and I will always leap at books she performs. (She's such a fun actress, too - catch her in 'Emma', with Gwyneth Paltrow!)
"Even Months Later, I Keep Thinking About It..."
It took some time for me to make my way through this incredible book. It's the sort of work, deeply intelligent in its design and execution, that deserves a lot of thought and percolation. It was months ago that I finished it, yet even now when I think of the story told here, flawlessly delivered by Juliet Stevenson, I remember the excitement of knowing I was wrapped up in truly great storytelling. I had to acquire more Stevenson after falling in love with her voice and the skill of her execution, and went on to her readings of Woolf (also great). I will definitely come back to this again in the future when I once again have the time to savor it.
The plot was thin but that didn't matter to me. The writing is superb. The telling was superb. Truth is narrated extremely well. No clichés. No self congratulatory prose. Loved it
Except for the tiniest difficulty with North American dialects, Lewis gives a flawless performance. Best I've ever heard Save Robin Sachs performance of The harry Hole novels. The book is a masterpiece, the performance is flawless,: If you like Leading, you cannot go wrong.
"This is one if the 4 books I would take to a desert island."
The others are Sinister Street, The Waves, Philip Larkin Collected Poems, The House in Paris.

Carers wanted to fill widening gap
Social affairs reporter
Page Tools
Foster carer Jo Arnold, with two of her charges, says the role is challenging but rewarding.
Photo: Michael Rayner
Foster homes have not been found for up to a quarter of children needing care, due to a growing shortage of carers.
Demand for carers continued to soar last year, rising by more than 70 per cent in some areas. Experts say carers are leaving the system because of inadequate compensation and a lack of training and support.
A study of 18 child and adolescent home-based care programs in Victoria also revealed carers for disabled children were in particular demand, with a 40 per cent rise in carers needed.
Philip Mendes, of Monash University's social work department, said the key to attracting more carers was to boost their remuneration. "The only way you're going to get more people to volunteer to do this given the intense demands on family life . . . is to compensate people adequately," he said.
The study, by the Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare, also found that to meet demand, the number of people providing temporary care would need to rise by 34 per cent. More long-term carers were also needed. There are about 4000 children in Victoria unable to live with their biological families.
Foster Care Association of Victoria president Janice Hughes said there was a lack of support and training for carers, who were expected to look after children with complex needs.
A spokeswoman for Community Services Minister Sherryl Garbutt said the Government was trialling a program in Melbourne's eastern suburbs in which carers were given nearly double the usual payment and received training from social workers. Another trial is planned in the north-western suburbs.
For Jo Arnold, caring for children in need has been a family tradition. Her parents cared for numerous foster children and Ms Arnold thought it was her turn to help after her own sons left home. Since 2000, the single mother has cared for about 40 children on her farm north of Benalla. "They need me as much as I need them," she said.
Ms Arnold, 42, conceded some days were challenging but said it was rewarding when children began to open up and could return to their own families.

At first, finding something that fit the theme was a bit of a challenge. All the gold dresses I came across just felt a little cheap to me. Then I thought, "What about gold shoes?" I hopped on over to Anthropologie's Bhld and found these little beauties. I wanted to make an outfit that would allow you to wear these little flashes of gold and sparkle even on a plain old boring week day. I think the key is to keep the rest of the outfit simple.

The Essex GreenView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Neo-psychedelic pop outfit the Essex Green were formed in mid-1997 after four members of the Burlington, VT-based Guppyboy -- singer/guitarist Chris Ziter, singer/keyboardist Sasha Bell, guitarist Jeff Baron, and bassist Mike Barrett -- relocated to Brooklyn, NY. Completing the lineup with drummer Tim Barnes, the group appeared at various New York City clubs before touring the East Coast with Aden and Saturnine, releasing a split single with the Sixth Great Lake in the spring of 1999. The Essex Green's full-length debut, Everything Is Green, appeared on Kindercore later that year, and a self-titled EP on Elephant6 followed in early 2000; concurrently, both Bell and Baron played in the likeminded Ladybug Transistor and, with the addition of Zachary Ward, moonlighted as the aforementioned Sixth Great Lake, releasing Up the Country for Kindercore. Bell (recording as the Finishing School) also released the lovely and overlooked 2003 album Destination Girl. In 2004, the Essex Green inked a deal with Merge and issued The Long Goodbye as a trio (Barrett having left the group), following it up with the finest record of their career, 2006's Cannibal Sea. ~ Jason Ankeny & Tim Sendra

It is Friday, so announcement time. All weekend I will be blogging and tomorrow will be a reveal or two.

I am @entylawyer. Have a great weekend everyone!!
This actress is B- list on a very good day. The only reason I am not calling her a C is because of the very hit show she was on, but got kicked off because of drug use. It was while she was on that show that she says that she smoked meth on a red carpet. She had it in her hand the whole time she was walking down the carpet and talking to reporters and on camera and then at the end of the carpet she lit up. She says no one said anything to her even though it was pretty obvious she was not smoking a cigarette. She went to Hollywood when she was young. One of her first big breaks led to a threesome with this reality star turned arm candy for an A++ lister and the reality star's boyfriend at the time. Our B- list actress smokes meth everyday. She says she loves it and does not see the stains on her fingers. The burn marks on her hand. Her teeth getting ready to fall out. She thinks the roles will keep coming. She has not noticed that the films are getting smaller and the roles are getting even smaller. She thinks of herself as a huge star, but does know that she has a huge drug habit that she would like to kick but says she enjoys it way too much to stop. You would think getting kicked off a huge hit show would be a wake up call, but she said that she artistic differences with the producers and writers anyway. Uh huh.
