I am in the market for a new, highly breathable wind shirt. Currently I have the non breathable MontBell Windjacket made of the great 'sauna fabric'.
I was hoping to get a few recommendations for products / materials for highly breathable wind shirts. I understand that the more breath able the fabric the less it will block wind. As I sweat easily a more breathable fabric is worth less wind resistance.
Thanks for all your help.

I have a Marmot Ion, which is noticeably more breathable and less wind resistant than my non-breathable old model Golite Helios.
A friend who owns both Marmot Ion and Patagonia Houdini commented that the Houdini was even more breathable and less wind resistant than the Ion.
Going with that plus reading other feedback seem to indicate that the Patagonia Houdini will suit you better.Jan 23, 2009 at 11:08 am #1472350

Anyone making the 1.1 ounce DWR into windshirts these days?Jan 23, 2009 at 12:00 pm #1472358

I had one made out of Momentum and I like it much better than the Ion or HoudiniJan 23, 2009 at 12:32 pm #1472371

I used several Pertex Microlight products (VAUDE Laser Jacket, Haglöfs Zeal, Haglöfs something, Montane) and one Pertex Quantum product (Mont-Bell UL Wind Jacket).
Sweating was never a problem with both fabrics.
I liked the design of the Zeal and might get one again some day.Jan 23, 2009 at 12:43 pm #1472375
The most breathable windshirt I've used that's commercially available is the good ol' Montane Lite-speed, Pertex Microlight. I find it more breathable than the Houdini or the GoLite – as well as better designed (another matter). As per the fabric specs, Microlight is more breathable than Quantum as well. In drier weather I also allow the DWR to wash/wear out somewhat, esp. under the arms and along the back. That helps noticeably. I haven't noticed a significant difference in windproofness.
Momentum 90 vs. Microlight: Interesting. I have a lot of Momentum 90 fabric for MYOG quilts & bivies. I'd like to make a windshirt out of it. I have my doubts it would be much more breathable than Microlight (given fresh DWR's on both). That's just based on my experiences with both fabrics in quilts and bivy's though.Jan 23, 2009 at 2:50 pm #1472417

I sweat at the drop of a hat (or the effort to bend down and pick it up at any rate) and I rate the Montane Lite-speed (Pertex Microlight) for it's breathability which is the most important consideration for me when buying clothing. The only time it gets moist inside is when I'm trail running, uphill, and venting the full length zip quickly sorts that out. When it's time to come back down the hill, just zip it up, pull up the hood and it'll keep you snug until you get home. Hiking here in Norway in the winter I rarely wear more than a base layer and the Lite-speed with a powerstretch fleece in the sack in case it gets really cold and a Primaloft jacket for when I stop.Jan 24, 2009 at 2:15 am #1472534

@fleetparadoxLocale: Socal
For those of you recommending the Montane Litespeed, the Jackson site lists it at 6oz… is this correct? Seems a bit heavy.
Is the Litespeed and Feather smock made of both the same material? Are they truly as breathable as the Houdini?
Thanks!Jan 24, 2009 at 5:57 am #1472546

Thru-Hiker sells a kit for a windshirt that is made out of Momentum.Jan 24, 2009 at 11:52 am #1472594
Yep – 6 oz in M should be correct. I saved a 1/2 oz by: removing the hem drawcord (I don't like the bulk), and cutting out the zipper backing (had a tendency to catch if careless). The hood toggles/cord could be lightened too.
The Lite-Speed is heavier than some but I think it's worth every oz (all 2 of them). More durable fabric for such a high use item, and a double-layer hood which is warmer. My 2003+/- model has seen a TON of off-trail forest use and it's still going strong. Will buy a new one soon though.
Lite-Speed & Featherlite are both Pertex Microlight 52g/m2 (1.3oz/yd2 I think). See the Montane Product Menu. Hike-Lite UK was a good retailer IME. But a guy on eBay.uk.co has blue Lite-Speeds for ~$50usd + s/h.Jan 24, 2009 at 11:53 am #1472595
Are they truly as breathable as the Houdini?
In a lab, I don't know. In use, definitely. I don't get the Houdini accolades out there. I think the Houdini blows. Too short in the torso/tail (I'm only 5'9"), bad hood design, and overpriced. YMMV.
Edit: No Montane or retailer affiliation. I do have a houdini I'd like to sell tho… sweet shirt! :)Jan 24, 2009 at 12:43 pm #1472604
James MoughanMember
Another + for the Montane Featherlite. I sweat like a pig and barely notice I have it on, water resistance is good too. Montane do cut their clothes slim and long in the arm, which may or may not suit you.Jan 24, 2009 at 1:10 pm #1472610

@oiboyroiLocale: South West US
Hey Chad,
I have to agree with Jason on this one. The most breathable ultralight-windshirt I've used is the Montane Lite-speed. Better than the Houdini that I currently use.
The best material for a balance of comfort, breathability and windproof-ness is Pertex Equilibrium. However, the jacket I have is a hefty 11 oz. If you can find the fabric in a lighter weight and omit any pockets/features I bet you could get it down to the 4-6 oz range.
Best of Luck,

Montane Featherlite or MYOG equivalent from Thru Hiker get my vote to.Jan 25, 2009 at 1:29 pm #1472829
P SMember
The best windshirt is the Paramo Fuera Smock. Once you use a wired, roll-away hood, you will never buy a shell without it. The high collar that can zip up over your chin is great.
The fabric, unlike similar Patagonia, Marmot, etc., is not calendered and does not have any coating. It is a simple, tight weave. It has the best drape of any of the fabrics used in windshirts as well and minimizes noise.Jan 25, 2009 at 3:07 pm #1472838
Lynn TramperMember
@retropumpLocale: The Antipodes of La Coruna
The Fuera may be a great windshirt, but at 300g it is in a different league all together from the shirts we are discussing. Plus I do not want a hood on my windshirt….Jan 25, 2009 at 5:14 pm #1472871

@mad777Locale: South Florida
I'll throw in still another vote for Montail Litespeed windshirt, actually two votes, my wife loves here's too.
Yes, it is a tad bit heavier than some of the competition, but IMHO well worth it for such a full featured, highly breathable and important piece of gear.Jan 25, 2009 at 8:06 pm #1472907

Does anyone know if Montane plans to start selling in the US again? They don't have any dealers listed on their website and it looks like prolite gear doesn't sell their stuff anymore.

Man fired for refusing to date fat or black girls
It seems now it is wicked for men to have preferences in dating and sex. As usual, The Left is trying to enforce their morality in the bedroom and dictate who we should love.
Maybe women should be fired for refusing to date short men.Sounds like HATE to me.

1 in 3 Campaign - The Silence and Stigma end here
On Monday, pro-abortion groups across the country launched an organized effort to feature women telling uplifting stories of their abortions. The so-called "1 in 3" week of action will feature 100 events in 32 states, and began in Washington D.C. According to the Advocates for Youth, one in three women in the United States will at some point have an abortion.
An Australian feminist group created this flash dance to help end the stigma of abortion:
Please send your abortion stories here. This will help to inspire women to kill their babies.

Adelson: US should drop atomic bomb on Israel
Below is a video and a story of how Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire Republican American businessman, advocates that the United States should drop an Atomic Bomb on Israel. (I assume he must be some sort of wacky White Supremacist for making such a genocidal statement.) While old Sheldon might be going senile, what is disturbing is how the students cheered the remark.
The basic logic is that because many Communist Jews were responsible for the Holodomore (the genocide of millions of White Christians), all Jews and the United States share a collective guilt. In his mind, this event that happened over 60 years ago justifies endless aggression on his part against the Jewish people. How anyone could blame a modern Jew that was not even born during the Holodomore boggles the mind. Like I am supposed to believe that my Jewish dentist that lives next door shares some sort of "collective guilt" for an event that happened half the way around the world 70 years ago. Like I said, these White Supremacists are kooks.

Boy, 14, 'slashed teacher, 24, to death
A very sad and gruesome story. According to the official police reports a White (ahem) kid went crazy and slashed to death a 24 year old teacher in the girl's restroom at the high school. He then dragged her body outside and dumped her in the woods.
The teacher was lauded for interacting with her students on Facebook and Twitter. I am not sure that is a good thing to encourage.
A teenager who has been charged with murder after his math teacher was found slashed to death with a box cutter, disposed of her body then went to see a Woody Allen film.
Philip Chism, 14, was seen on surveillance footage dragging a recycling bin with Colleen Ritzer's body through the halls of Danvers High School in Massachusetts on Tuesday night then dumping her remains in the woods near campus, according to police sources.

ABC 20/20 - 'Manosphere'
ABC news hired a a couple of feminists to investigate the "manosphere". The over the top bias would make Pravda blush in the old Soviet Union.The propaganda is becoming so silly that people are laughing at the result.
Deep in the underbelly of the Internet is a hidden corner known as the "Manosphere"— a collection of websites, Facebook pages and chat rooms where men vent their rage and spew anti-women rhetoric.
Protected by the anonymity of the Internet, men feel free to post hateful and violent comments.
Below is ABC's promo video.
Look at the pained expression of the reporterette at 0:47. That is staged and deliberate. And quite funny when you realize that it is staged and planned.

Republicans Crash and Burn on Budget Deal
WASHINGTON (TheBlaze/AP) — Up against one last deadline, Congress raced to pass legislation Wednesday avoiding a threatened national default and ending a 16-day partial government shutdown along the strict terms set by President Barack Obama when the twin crises began.
"We fought the good fight. We just didn't win," conceded House Speaker John Boehner as lawmakers lined up to vote on a bill that includes nothing for Republicans demanding to eradicate or scale back Obama's signature health care overhaul.

US soldiers hired by Mexican drug cartels
Breakup of the USA? It is already happening. The American southwest is becoming an de facto Mexican country. \
Milestone #1 - Empire admits it is unable (and unwilling) to enforce laws in a territory.
With parts of Northern California's scenic hillsides illegally gouged by bulldozers for marijuana grows, frustrated local officials asked the state for help to protect streams and rivers from harmful sediment and the chemicals used on the pot plants.
They hoped to charge growers under federal and state clean water regulations with tougher penalties than the infractions local officials could impose. But they were rebuffed.
It's too dangerous, the state agency in charge of protecting the region's water said in a letter to county supervisors.
Milestone #2 - Imperial troops become untrustworthy due to tribal divisions

Golden Dawn and Outlawed Political Parties
If voting could make real change, it would be illegal.
THE arrest of both leaders of an elected party is unprecedented for a member of the European Union. On September 28th the Greek government began a crackdown on Golden Dawn, a neo-Nazi party, which has 18 MPs in Greece's 300-strong parliament. Among those put in handcuffs by counter-terrorism officers in bulletproof vests and balaclavas were Nikos Michaloliakos, leader of Golden Dawn, four other MPs and 14 party supporters. Mr Michaloliakos's deputy, Christos Pappas, gave himself up to police a day later.

Need Halloween Costume Advice
I was thinking of buying this Halloween costume for my dog Dino. I named him "Dino" based on the Flintstones pet dinosaur who they called Dino. So I thought this costume would not only be cute, it would be appropriate for his name. But now someone told me that this could be considered derogatory and hateful.
And given that I have been classified as one of America's top three evil men, I don't want to be now classified as a speciest. I believe that all species are equal and we all bleed red. (Well, except for Vulcans. But they are not real.)
So I need your help. Is this costume fun? Or Hate?

Chinese Girl Beats Beta Boyfriend Long Time
So much for the submissive Asian girl stereotype.
They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned – and a video of a girl repeatedly slapping her boyfriend in the street appears to prove that.
The five-minute video, which has gone viral with more than 27,000 views since it was posted on October 6, shows a young man on his knees in a Hong Kong shopping street with his girlfriend standing over him, scolding him in Cantonese for inviting another girl to his apartment.
What I found somewhat amusing was this girl actually paused during the public beating to look at her watch. I guess that is an example of that Asian efficiency. She should write a book - Domestic Violence and effective Time Management.
Much time left to beat you?

Why Men Like Breaking Bad
A feminist review of Breaking Bad:
Die Like a Man: The Toxic Masculinity of Breaking Bad
"It felt right and satisfying and proper to us that he went out on his own terms; he went out like a man," Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan shared in a recent podcast, describing the death of Walter White in the series finale.
If that sounds familiar, it's because we heard Hank – his prototypically macho brother-in-law – say something very similar during Skyler's intervention, when he defended Walt's decision to refuse both financial charity and cancer treatment: "Maybe Walt just wants to die like a man."
Below is a sticker chart designed to reward men for doing their assigned chores:

Swiss to vote on income for all

Belgian Transgendered woman euthanatized
A sad story of a woman who never felt love from her parents.
Nathan, born Nancy, Verhelst, 44, was given legal euthanasia, most likely by lethal injection, on the grounds of "unbearable psychological suffering" on Monday afternoon.
And then there is this guy, I mean girl, I mean guy.
He thought he was a woman trapped in a man's body — but it turns out he's "just another boring straight guy."
ABC News editor Don Ennis strolled into the newsroom in May wearing a little black dress and an auburn wig and announced he was transgender and splitting from his wife. He wanted to be called Dawn.
Here is where I first heard of being trapped in the wrong body:

I ran the Delamere course yesterday and videoed it (quality is quite poor). The route is as I ran it before Christmas with the organiser. I don't know if this is the confirmed route, the map on the parkrun website is slightly different. I can't see it starting in the car park as there is a bottleneck and bollards and then at the far side of the mere it takes you on to the road which is not necessary.
EDIT: route description does say it starts next to car park. it also mentions "a nasty (but very short) little hill." which I wouln't call a hill, it's more of a incline and it's not really nasty. (18:15 on vid)
I agree with Dave - The Ex Spartan; geography knowledge is poor in the UK. For your information Delamere is in Cheshire.
Plenty of potential in Eirias Park in Colwyn Bay, I'd have thought?
Signed up for a park run in Delamere and will use an app I found on the Google Play android app site called fastTxtPro. It has a number of features but the one I like is "whenwillifinish". Used it in a race the other weekend and it txt's (optional) your time quarter, half and three-quarter distance to whoever you choose and also gives them an idea when you will finish. Great for friends and family who aren't running because it frees them up and gives them an idea when you will get in. Distances show in miles and KM. Worked OK in that race and I was in 1 minutes before it predicted. Its free as well so that is good.
Do people really need to know how you are doing at a parkrun.
I agree it's great when friends are trying to follow you doing. Marathon, but parkrun ?
And where are they going to go ? The start and finish at Delamere is miles from nowhere ? And you're only going to be gone 25 minutes
The point was I used it see how it performed. I would use it on half marathons but as I just downloaded it I thought I'd try it out. Not a crime I assume.
Just mentioned it incase someone thought it was useful. If not then my apologies and please ignore my comments.
It was just a comment that IMHO it was over kill for a parkrun, and the phone signal is rubbish there as well
Fair comment. Agreed. I know when I did the Chester half it would have been useful and probably good for other travelling as well.
We used the organisers provided app at the Paris marathon this year, and it was great for our kids to know where we were as they dived around spectating..
bit slippy in Delamere this morning, and wet under some of the big trees
Excellent. Helps that they know what you are up to. Was going to run Delamere today but had other things to do. Looking forward to giving it a go again soon.
Did you get a decent time ?
Better than last week, but a couple of minutes off my pb
See you next week !

Sources speaking to Reuters have suggested that Apple will be diversifying its range of iPhones – creating models with larger screens, and cheap versions of the smartphone in a range of colours.
During the Worldwide Developers Conference hosted by Apple earlier this week (the WWDC), the company was strident about its ability to stay ahead of the market. "Can't innovate any more, my ass," was senior exec Phil Schiller's comment as he revealed the new Mac Pro.
But despite the new products introduced at WWDC it seems that the Californian tech giant might be aping the success of South Korean competitor Samsung, whose market strategy revolves around an ever expanding line of handsets, as well as phones with larger screen – the 'phablet'.
Reuter's sources, described as "four people with knowledge of the matter", say that Apple is aiming to introduce two larger iPhones – "one with a 4.7-inch screen and one with a 5.7-inch screen."
The models have been predicted after suppliers were approached by Apple with their new plans. Apple has declined to comment.
The 'phablet' form factor (phones with a screen size between 5 and 6.9 inches) first gained traction in the smartphone market around 2010, and despite early criticism that the size was both too large and too small to be accepted, global phablet revenues have been estimated as totalling $46 billion in 2013.
Quoted in Forbes, British telecoms researchers Visiongain have said that phablets will "consititue a significant portion of global smartphone shipments by 2018. They will become cornerstones around which the next-generation product lines of leading OEMs will be built."
Apple still holds a clear majority market share in the sale of tablets despite slipping from 58.1% of the market in the first quarter of 2012 to 39.6% in 2013, but it has been overtaken by Samsung in the smartphone markets.
Speaking AllThingD's D11 conference late last month technology analyst Mary Meeker showed how Samsung's share of the global smartphone market had grown from just 4% in the first quarter of 2010 (compared to Apple's 16%) to 29% in the fourth quarter of 2012, overtaking Apple who held 22% of the market.
Apple have previously stayed well away from the phablet market, with Steve Jobs declaring the iPhone's original 3.5-inch screen "the perfect size for consumers". The release of the iPhone 5 late last year was the first model to enlarge the screen size to a 4-inch, 16:9 ration.
As well as offering a phone with a larger screen, the iPhone rumours also included the possibility of a cheaper model, priced at $99. Although consumers have previously been willing to pay extra for the quality of Apple's product, Samsung's successes have proven that this is no longer the top priority.
Writing for Investor Place, Brad Moon has offered changes in the TV market as a parallel: "Sony used to pretty much own the premium TV market. But as other manufacturers who had once been mid-range or off-brand bargains caught up, consumers decided they were good enough that there was no point in paying extra for a Sony TV."
Although the existence of Apple's new models, both cheaper and larger, have not been confirmed by the company, they are certainly not impossible suggestions, especially considering the current disposition of the smartphone market

|Download Recorded GetSmart! Webinar: Rules-Based Design – The Watch Dog for Safety in the Engineering Enterprise
|In this Webinar, "Rules-Based Design – The Watch Dog for Safety in the Engineering Enterprise," learn how Intergraph solutions can help to Increase Safety in the Engineering Enterprise. This Webinar was held August 26, 2010.
Rules-based design is a watch dog that can help build better, safer plants, offshore structures, and ships. Rules-based design can incorporate safety rules and considerations into the design system. It also can facilitate a more error-free design thus eliminating late, sometimes poorly documented modifications often made onsite during construction.
Rules-based design capability in SmartPlant 3D and SmartMarine 3D, collectively known as Smart 3D, is a top differentiator to traditional design systems. This Webinar features several prominent examples of how rules-based design can help to increase Safety in the Engineering Enterprise, including:

Ever wondered how baked roti dough will taste? I have always thought about it but did not try it until last week. Now I know how it will taste and it's definitely good. My husband wanted me to make something savory but not deep fried in oil. He actually wanted me to bake "bajjis" (vegetables dunked in chickpea flour batter and deep fried in oil) but I simply shrugged it off because I was not in the experimenting mood. Anyhow I wanted to make something for him because he usually does not ask much.
I remembered seeing a lot of cracker recipes in Bob's Red Mill website. So I checked it out again to find something easy and healthy. I found this cracker recipe made with whole wheat flour and sesame seeds which was very simple to bake and I also had all the ingredients. The prep time was only 15 minutes, the time which is anyhow required to preheat the oven and the crackers were ready in no time. But wait, the interesting (or should I say ironical) thing is yet to come. He did not like it. See this is why I don't make anything for him even if he asks!
Fortunately my son liked it very much and so did I. When I tried Nippatu from RC's blog, I was not sure how it would taste if I used some whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. After baking these whole wheat crackers, I'm sure that it would also taste good.
Whole Wheat Sesame Crackers Recipe
|Prep Time
|Cook Time
|15 Mins
|20 Mins
|3 to 4 Dozen Cookies.
- 1 and 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/4 cup Soy Flour
- 1/4 cup Sesame Seeds (White Hulled)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Oil (Non Hydrogenated)
- 8 to 9 tablespoons Water
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes.
- While the oven is preheating, in a medium bowl sift the flours and salt. Add the sesame seeds.
- Add the oil and blend well. Add water little by little to form the dough into a ball and easy enough to roll.
- Divide the dough into 2 balls. Roll each half to 1/8 inch thick and cut into squares or sticks. Repeat the same with the other half too. I dusted some all purpose flour on the surface to roll the dough easily.
- Place the squares on un-greased baking sheet and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the crackers are crisp. The baking time depends on the thickness of the squares.
- Store in a tightly covered container up to 1 week.
- The cookies were golden brown in color and very crispy. The first batch squares were thick and so I made the next batch paper thin. I preferred the thick crackers and my son liked both. You don't get the raw smell of whole wheat flour or the soy flour. Also I felt it tasted even better the next day of baking.
- I used black sesame seeds because I didn't have the white seeds. I think the pack I had some impurities, so while eating the crackers we were able to feel it. So go with white sesame seeds or be sure to clean the black sesame seeds before using.
- I used sunflower oil.
- For the first batch I didn't know how thin to roll the dough, so the squares were little thick and it took around 23 minutes to turn crisp. I did not flip the crackers but gave a slight shake twice or thrice in between. For the next batch I rolled the dough paper thin and it turned golden brown within 10 minutes. If it's very thin be alert or else the crackers would burn.
- The crackers were crispy even after 4 days.
- Adding ground pepper or chili powder will spice it up.

I made ajwain cookies, and cant wait to try with sesame and jeera! your blog is awesome!
[…] Other homemade crackers worth checking out: Homemade crackers, The Nourishing Gourmet Cheese Crackers with Almond Flour, Kalyns Kitchen Garlic and Sesame Crackers, Gluten Free Goddess Whole Wheat Sesame Crackers, Madhuram's Eggless Cooking […]
do we have to add soy flour, can it be made without that.
You can use whole wheat flour instead.
Looks good. Want to try this. Any idea how it will turn out if i omit soy flour?
Hi Vidhya, I'm sure that it will not affect the taste. Just use whole wheat flour instead.
hi madhuram…am i great fan of cookies….last week I tried this ,
it tasted good. But the prob was it didnt remain crisp 🙁 🙁 I mean
it became little soft after sometime 😥 Did I miss anything ?
I'm guessing that you would have added extra water or did not bake it enough, because mine was crispy even after 3 days.
Nice crispy crackers. Would love to try them with cumin.

Emaar Said to Consider Canceling London IPO for Dubai BourseSarmad Khan, Dinesh Nair and Zainab Fattah
Emaar Properties PJSC, the developer of the world's tallest tower, is considering scrapping a proposed listing of its retail unit in London to focus on Dubai, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
The company is weighing an initial public offering on the Dubai Financial Market and seeking an exemption to float less than the required 55 percent, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information isn't public. Emaar said last month it planned to raise as much as $2.45 billion with a 25 percent sale in London and Nasdaq Dubai.
Emaar is considering several options including listing on the Dubai Financial Market, and will provide more details once the plans are ready, the company said today in an e-mailed response to questions. A spokesman for Nasdaq Dubai declined to comment, as did a spokesman for Dubai exchange.
The listing would be the largest in the Middle East and Africa since 2008 and a boost for the Dubai Financial Market, where IPOs are just beginning to pick-up after a five-year drought. Dubai's benchmark DFM Index has gained 51 percent this year, the best performer among more than 90 measures tracked globally by Bloomberg, while Emaar's stock has risen 44 percent.
"A London listing could mean liquidity is driven away from the local market," Nayal Khan, head of institutional sales and trading at Naeem Holding in Dubai, said by phone today.
Marka Sale
Dubai, which is rebounding after a near default in 2009, prefers not to have one of its highest-profile companies pursue a sale in London, according to one of the people. Emaar's malls and retail business posted a 20 percent increase in revenue to
2.84 billion dirhams ($773 million) in 2013, while the Dubai Mall attracted 75 million visitors last year.
The IPO would follow the sale by Dubai-based Marka, which is seeking to enter the U.A.E,'s fashion and restaurant businesses. Investors subscribed 10 billion dirhams to the offer of 275 million shares earlier this month.
"Given the strong demand for Marka's IPO, which was 36 times oversubscribed, there is more than enough available liquidity and appetite for Emaar's retail offering here in the U.A.E.," Khan said.
Emaar shares closed unchanged after declining as much as
2.3 percent.

I haven't actually ever been to Bearpark but I did visit my godmother's family who lived I think, in Waterhouses which I believe, is not too far from Bearpark. I remember visiting Durham Cathedral and going down a mine where I chipped a piece of to take home, (my godmother's father and brother worked in the mine).I kept that piece for many years but eventually lost it during a house move. I am interested to learn of the origins of the village as my father was a Bearpark. I have traced the name back to 1538 to a man called Matthew Bearpark, he was born in a village called Wesley in the North Riding of Yorkshire. I would like to trace further back as our family probably originates from the village. My father was born in Crewe Cheshire, there are still many Bearparks in the town.

What techniques to use for establishing table image
What are some tactics you guys use to really make an impression on players, one way or the other. This is harder online when you are behind a computer, but I have learned that image is still very very important.
So either live or online, what are your personal methods of creating a persona?
Sorry maybe you thought I was being an ass or something?
I am sure you are more knowledgeable and play higher stakes than me. that means you probably employ more subtle and advanced moves. I meant that I already make wild bets and such to make an image.
I was talking more about giving off tells and things like that.
Edit: why can't i edit the first post i made? Mod, (Dakota?) please delete it.
I guess sometimes at the beginning of a stt I may play real tight almost nitty and passive. Then when they start to take advantage of me I turn the tables around. Usually this isnt on purpose its just because Im getting shit for cards and no opportunities to steal but sometimes I do it on purpose.
Depending on the table (Cash, SnG, Tourney) you can try a few different things.
(All of these suggestions are prefaced by saying you can't do all this with a 7/2 os - well maybe sometimes. Try to have a reasonably decent starting hand)
I find that the first thing is to start by seeing what the table is doing, are they tight? Loose?
Play the opposite.
If no one is calling a raise, raise it up.
If the table is really loose, sit back and let them knock each other off.
When you have a hand, pounce on them.
If they catch on to you, change gears and sit back for awhile
This works great in small one table SnG's.
Always take your time when it is your turn, don't drag it out but take a reasonable amount of time to fold, call or bet.
Make them see you think, make them wonder.
What's he got?
Too many players see a decent hand (mid pair) and without paying attention to their position, chip stakes or a UTG bet they just toss it in.
Take your time and analyze the situation!
Whenever I see a player fold immediately I know that they are playing their cards, not the position or the table. I will start taking advantage of them ASAP.
Betting is a real strong indication of who you are at a table.
Limpers are always perceived as weak, ABC players. And that can be used to your advantage especially if you are taking your time.
You have a strong pocket pair in late position. If no one has raised, take your time and make the call or min raise (more if the table seems really loose).
The slow bet will make a lot of players think you are stealing.
If the flop comes in your favor (a set, 2 pair etc) a small hesitation can induce a bet or raise, just what you want.
Don't use the automatic options, decide for yourself.
Important to me is to NOT show my cards.
I rarely bluff but if I do win with a small hand, I am NOT showing it.
You want to see it? Pay for it!!
As for bluffing, don't try to do it at the low stakes tables.
Cash tables anything under $1/2, SnG's anything under $10.
Most players at these stakes are going to play any pair, suited connectors or paint cards and they WILL suck out on you. If you are playing a semi-bluff, maybe.
And by semi bluff I mean 4 to a straight (up and down), 4 to a flush, mid or lower set etc. post flop.
Anything else will just cause you to be called and lose your Bankroll.
If you see someone else playing the same way and it's not me, then you're on your own!!! LOL
(As with anything your mileage may vary and we here at the Leo 50 school of poker are not responsible for any losses occurred while following these suggestions. Although donations from winning are gratefully accepted! LOL)
I primarily play in the freerolls & micro tourneys, more often than not I'm not @ the same table for very long, until later in the tourney, to establish an image. If I do find myself @ a table for a bit I will show only the premium cards on an all-in shove with no callers...it sets it up for me to get away with semi-bluffs later if others think I only play good cards. Also check raises work wonders as long as it's not overdone (gets kind of annoying & I want to keep the 'customers' in the hands to extract more chips ).
re: Poker & What techniques to use for establishing table image
I personally don't believe in manufacturing a table image - but I am always working on working out how my table image is being perceived. That way I can use whatever it is to my advantage.
I don't try to create a table image. Instead, I try to remain conscious of what my image probably is to the other players, and use that.
For example, when getting a run of really good cards that nobody sees (is he bluffing??), followed by pocket Aces, I may just shove pre-flop. After having seen you take down a bunch of pots in a row without showing, those AQ or JJ hands just might call. This is definitely a micro stakes move though. I wouldn't try it against the big boys.
For those of you who don't think it is worth your while to manufacture a table image, look around. Do you have an image of the other players at the table? And do you ever act on that image? What makes you so special that you think you are invisible to everyone else?
So, why not try to manipulate the image others have of you to your benefit?
I do it, but you won't get me to tell you how!
i dont think you can get a image. best to sit tight and watch the play of others on the table. you ll soon find the loose players. after a few showdowns and the fishermen. win a few games at forums like CC . other players then no your not such an easy touch. the image comes before the game in this case and not at the table itself.............joker131
First of all--I like to think about what I want to achieve with my image. Get away with bluffs or get my big pairs paid off. Then I go about playing in the style that will help me achieve that.
If I want big pairs payed off I get involved in alot of hands (maybe 15% to 25%) often raising and reraising if I can afford it.
or, just play solid values and get away with a well timed bluff or continuation bet holding suited connecters or small pairs.
But other than that I think leo has laid it down, especially about playing the situation and not the cards. So take some time to consider the sitaution at the table.
re: Poker & What techniques to use for establishing table image
You will develop a table image without trying, people will adapt to your play and you adapt to exploit their changes.
Don't sit down and piss away chips to establish a particular table image.
I think the OP is missing the point of table image. Table image is based on how you apear to be playing. 95% of the time how you apear to be playing is indeed exactly how you are playing.
So playing well establishes a good table image. If you are playing tight, then you can slip in a few more bluffs and get away with it, if you are playing laggy you can get a few more value bets in than you would ordinarily, but 95% of your image is how you are actually playing.
No matter what your table image, you wont push people off big hands and you will have no effect on players who don't notice anything but the two cards in front of them.
Not sure if you guys have heard of this one, but recent studies have shown that flipping the entire table while screaming, "I'M SEAN F***ING PILGRIM!" will yield a loose-aggressive table image. (Also, this method costs no chips, which is a bonus )
re: Poker & What techniques to use for establishing table image
In all seriousness though, if you're playing live:
Play one of your very first hands retarded. Not aggressive, not firing lots of chips, just play it like you don't have a freaking clue. You get to showdown with J7o no pairs, say you spend $25-$35 on that hand. You flip up your cards and say, "What do I have?".
The entire table just found out you suck. Now you play solid good poker for the rest of the night, and maybe one guy will finally figure out that you aren't braindead. The rest of them will bemoan their luck that they can't beat the idiot.
If you think your image is wearing off, you can always play a hand terribly every so often, just to remind them you don't know how to play.
A first image is truly a lasting one.

Whenever there is a headline about a convicted killer undertaking a supervised shopping trip or visit to the seaside, public concern is understandable. That anxiety will always be greatly magnified when a very high-profile name – such as that of Peter Sutcliffe – enters the public domain in the context of a possible release.
For those of us who work with patients in secure hospitals, the tension between helping these individuals with a severe mental illness who have committed the most serious offences and public concern at the risk that they may re-offend is something we encounter on a daily basis.
There can be no doubt that there are crimes which are so extreme that the perpetrator can never be released on the grounds of public safety and the need for justice to be done. There are people who have to be incarcerated for a long, long time.
But the law of the land also states that whatever a person has done, there are certain circumstances in which they are able to apply for parole. This is not an arbitrary process by which an offender can be suddenly released on flimsy evidence.
It is a lengthy and very carefully thought-out process in which multiple factors are examined and weighed up, from the conduct of the individual on a day-to-day basis to the amount of insight they have into their offence, from the ability to monitor an individual in the community to the safety of the public.
Those shopping trips or outings only take place after an offender has jumped many hurdles to get to that position.
With an offender who has a serious mental illness such as paranoid schizophrenia – the condition with which Sutcliffe has been diagnosed – the task is to manage that condition.
Schizophrenia cannot be cured, but it can be managed. Roughly a quarter of sufferers can have their symptoms very well controlled and lead very productive lives. Around 50 per cent can be helped but will see their symptoms fluctuate and another quarter are resistant to treatment or medication does not help them.
Attitudes to some forms of mental illness in this country have changed and there is greater understanding that many conditions can be managed. But when it comes to crimes of violence, particularly where a crime is sexually violent, it is extremely difficult to escape the fear and anxiety that such offences generate. In the more sensational cases, those fears are heightened and need to be recognised.

Recently, an article from Washington Weekly News (WWN) claimed that in his speech to the NAACP convention on July 21, 2015, Obama called for the Confederate and the Gadsden flags to be banned. From the WWN article:
In a 45-minute speech, Obama called for reducing or eliminating mandatory minimum sentences, reviewing the use of the solitary confinement and banning of Confederate and Tea Party Flags on public property, among other things.
"Any system that allows us to turn a blind-eye to hopelessness and despair, that's not a justice system, that's an injustice system," Obama said Tuesday. "Justice is not only the absence of oppression, it's the absence of racist, divisive symbols in our public discourse."
The Gadsden flag — a yellow flag with a rattlesnake above the words "Don't Tread On Me" — is the symbol of the American Revolution for Independence. The contemporary Tea Party movement adopted that flag as their banner.
While Washington Weekly News, by all indications, is a legitimate news site, that article carried a dateline of "Washington (ONN)." ONN is the satirical Onion News Network that publishes entirely made-up pseudo news that are believable precisely because they are plausible. In this case, given the anti-Confederate flag hysteria whipped up by the media and the Left, it seemed entirely plausible that Obama would propose that both the Confederate flag as well as the Gadsden flag be banned. But it is not true.
However, what Obama actually said in his speech to the NAACP bears our attention because he still insists that America is racist (albeit a more subtle racism), that Blacks in America are treated unfairly by the legal system and others, and that their lower achievements are due to the "legacy" of slavery (even though slavery ended 152 years ago).
Note: On January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation — an executive order that, in a single stroke, changed the legal status, as recognized by the U.S. government, of 3 million slaves in designated areas of the Confederacy from "slave" to "free." By June 1865, the Union Army controlled all of the Confederacy and had liberated all of the designated slaves.
Not once in his speech did Obama place the responsibility of Blacks' life circumstances (low educational achievements, unemployment, crime, imprisonment, broken families) on Blacks themselves. And his solution for their problems is more spending, more welfare and bigger government, now called "investments in our communities."
Here are quotes from Obama's NAACP speech, from the White House's transcript:
"We made progress, but our work is not done. By just about every measure, the life chances for black and Hispanic youth still lag far behind those of their white peers. Our kids, America's children, so often are isolated, without hope, less likely to graduate from high school, less likely to earn a college degree, less likely to be employed, less likely to have health insurance, less likely to own a home.
Part of this is a legacy of hundreds of years of slavery and segregation, and structural inequalities that compounded over generations. (Applause.) It did not happen by accident. (Applause.) Partly it's a result of continuing, if sometimes more subtle, bigotry — whether in who gets called back for a job interview, or who gets suspended from school, or what neighborhood you are able to rent an apartment in….
There's a long history of inequity in the criminal justice system in America…. [In too many cases, our criminal justice system ends up being a pipeline from underfunded, inadequate schools to overcrowded jails….. African Americans and Latinos make up 30 percent of our population; they make up 60 percent of our inmates. About one in every 35 African American men, one in every 88 Latino men is serving time right now. Among white men, that number is one in 214.
The bottom line is that in too many places, black boys and black men, Latino boys and Latino men experience being treated differently under the law. (Applause.) …A growing body of research shows that people of color are more likely to be stopped, frisked, questioned, charged, detained. African Americans are more likely to be arrested. They are more likely to be sentenced to more time for the same crime. (Applause.) And one of the consequences of this is, around one million fathers are behind bars. Around one in nine African American kids has a parent in prison.
…we have to stand up to those who are determined to slash investments in our communities at any cost — cutting preschool programs, cutting job-training programs, cutting affordable housing programs, cutting community policing programs.

Chiang Rai. A great way to say bye to Thailand
... we had a Google. It's literally a clay plant pot that contains hot coals. And on top of this sits a clay bowl with broth in. You have the choice of what else goes in the bowl and cook it at the table in front of you. We ordered one the next day and added noodles, egg, loads of veg and chicken. We didn't completely know what we were doing so we had to ask the locals what to do. I say ask, more like pointed and spoke very loud and slowly. Typical Brit ...
Bali 2
... going to try and go snorkeling on Thursday, but I'm not so sure if it'll work out. I just feel really stupid for not staying longer, but I know that I could never have known that I would learn to be comfortable traveling on my own on this trip. (If I had the chance I would probably stay an extra two days. Even if I left on Sunday instead of saturday I would be happier.) Anyway I'll stop complaining now! I'm in Bali and that's all that matters. ...
Hill tribes
... young age (maybe 6 years old). There are a few different speculations as to why they wear the rings (which they wear on their necks, arms and legs) which is a very old tradition. Some say it's to protect them from tiger bites, others say it is to distinguish them from other tribes and therefore keep the women in their tribes, others say it is to make the women less attractive to other tribes therefore preventing slavery - who knows the actual reason! ...
Chiang Rai and surroundings

Travel day. We went from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai by bus. Found a hostel and looked for a place where we can book tours. At one of the travel agencies we met a Canadian men. He said good bye to his western way of living and came finally to Asia for living. He was now for 3 years living in Chiang Rai. We invited him to have some food with us.

I noticed my blog rate has dropped off significantly in the last couple of weeks (whilst my tweet rate increases!). It has been a combination of a few things – nearly all good 🙂
- I have had a few days off for Chrimbo shopping and visiting family in the "cold north". We were lucky enough to also manage to get up to Yorkshire at the weekend and see plenty of snow in the Esk Valley.
- We did our last of our current batch of MSDN events over in Bradford hosted by Black Marble who IMHO did a fantastic job with the venue and format. Well done. (Oh – and I like the Xmas skin they have applied to their website!)
- I did my first user group session at NxtGenUG in Southampton and had the pleasure of doing my second ever delivery on SQL Server 2008. A fantastic user group who meet in a cheery setting (the entrance of a Church – but that does it an injustice) and throw in pizza for good measure. Highly recommended. As for SQLServer 2008 – I think spatial got by far the most interest (links from the session)
- I have been busy reviewing a number of articles we had commissioned on everything from WPF to EF to Language Futures (more on that later – as the best of the four is close to being published)
- I have been putting together an "offering" with a couple of our partners to help companies in the UK who have invested in Visual Basic 6.0 transition to (and benefit from) Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework. We should have this ready for mid January 2009. Watch this space!
- I was fortunate enough to meet up with many of our user group leads the day before the awesome DDD7 – a four track one day developer conference created entirely by the UK developer community for the UK developer community. This was an amazing way to spend a Saturday in November – I loved it!
- We have as a team been working through the details of our main events for the first part of 2009. More on that later.
- I have been getting my head round a bunch of "breadth" things which didn't really affect me in my old "depth" role working with ISV early adopters in the UK. Everything from feedburner to friendfeed to slideshare. I am close to being "fully plugged in" 🙂
- Yesterday I decided to rebuild my notebook and after some peer pressure (and twitter pressure) I went with 64bit Vista for the first time ever – and (touchwood) so far everything has been perfect. I feel a fool for waiting this long!
And finally – the view on Saturday after a 5 hour drive.

|Welcome to Saab92x.com!
I've posted this quandary before, so thanks for everyone for bearing with me.
I have a 2005 Saab 9.2x Linear with 114K miles.
I have received somewhat contradictory information regarding the car's head gaskets:
Opinion 1:
I have been told by a mechanic who is a very good friend of mine not to bother replacing the water
pump/timing belt/thermostat without also doing the head gaskets. He feels investing in ONLY the water pump, thermostat and
timing belt is a "complete waste of money."
Opinion 2:
Another mechanic, using a scale of 1-10 for leaking head gaskets (10 being the worst) he gave it a 4. He said the driver's side is worse (as is the trend
with Impreza's), it isn't dripping but you can tell it has been leaking a while with all the residue below it. He thinks the car is pretty
clean other than that front lower sub frame and worth investing in. He said if I was going to keep the car for another 3-5 years at
least, it would be wise to do the head gaskets, but if I'm only going to have it for another year or two he said just do the timing
belt and water pump.
I would like to keep the car as long as possible - because I love this car.
I just do not understand the logic of a preemptive replacement of head gaskets, particularly if because when the timing belt goes the thing is cooked.
I would appreciate any input folks might have with regard to this!
Have a great week.
I say shoot opinion number 1 giver in the forehead before the gun reform comes.
But seriously, he's an idiot. It's a rubber belt that controls the life of your vehicle. And actually quite the opposite. The water pump is a complete waste of money because they do not fail.
HOWEVER, i halfway agree with opinion number two. If you have the extra money and it affect you financially I say do it. Because they will need to be done so better to have it done now when you can and not have to worry about it. Plus you won't have to pay timing belt labor for it. Only head gasket labor which will of course be more. But it will be cheaper doing them both at the same time VS at different times.
If you have external signs of a HG leak and you want to keep the car then do it right and replace both of them. Do the t belt (along with the tensioner, idler, pullies...) waterpump and thermostat and know it will be well sorted for a long time to come. If it's a manual and you haven't replaced the clutch yet then go for broke and pull the engine and service that too.
Now. Now is time.
Do the head gaskets and valve cover gasket, timing belt and all related parts, water pump, thermostat, hoses, radiator. You can drive another 100,000 miles without worry.

What he ^^^ said.
This coming from a new Saab 92x owner.....but seasoned 2004.7 STi original owner and track junkie, tink, tink from way back with tons of 2.0l/2.5l timing belt servicing and other repair builds under my belt.
I just bought mine at 91k miles. The belt broke, just prior.
Head gasket or valve cover? Valve covers leaking isn't uncommon and is fairly simple, not addressing it will only result in minor oil loss and a dirty engine bay. Head gasket leaking is a totally different thing and should be addressed asap!
Having working in a dealership and seeing t-belts at different miles in addition to doing my own t-belts all the time (did my 9-2's at 90k) I recommend changing them by 90k but no more.
A belt can snap even if it isn't' cracked, honestly I plan to change them by 90k on my own cars so if I go a little over, say 95k it's no big deal but I seem to see more posts about these cars snapping a belt around 90k than other cars...might just be flukes but I'd do it no later than 90. I told customers to plan on getting it done around 75-80k but that was someone else's car that I didn't know their driving habits, and, if they went over I could have been liable for a snap had I told them 100k, so i told them a bit earlier than I would push my own.
By 90k a thermostat is a good thing to replace, especially if you're going to be right there already. Be sure to check the heat range and get the right one, I think the one I have now opens a bit earlier than OEM, no harm there but I also don't live in the cold climates...dunno...I noticed it when it DID get around freezing, took longer to get warm inside the car, but I used to drive a motorcycle in the snow so it didn't phase me XD just something I noticed.
Unless the water pump is difficult to turn, is leaking from the impeller shaft where it mates to the gear that turns it, or the impellers are eaten up, then just replace the seal where it bolts to the engine and you should be good.
I would replace the cam/crank seals (they are cheap parts) as well as the oil pump gasket and seal.
ALWAYS replace all idlers and the tentsioner
There is no reason to replace a radiator that is not clogged, cracked, bent, or leaking, none at all.
Hoses, at 90k you shouldn't need to replace them, mine are in perfect shape, if they are cracked, brittle, or leaking then yes, otherwise no.

While a School of Architecture student, Syracuse Architecture Advisory Board member Todd B. Rubin '04 spent two semesters studying in Florence. He discovered the art and architecture of the Renaissance city, but the experience also left him with a broader sense of purpose.
Rubin, along with the Rubin Family Foundation, established the Rubin Global Design Studio at Syracuse Architecture to provide architecture students with a unique opportunity to participate in a site-specific design studio and then travel to that particular part of the world where much of the studio work is focused. Students experience the cultural and political conditions that produce a city with quality public space, public housing and sustainability policies. In the Taipei iteration of the trip, students examined and created proposals on the redevelopment of a derelict train depot in the city's center.
"Being able to live in Florence and travel throughout Europe expanded my own personal horizons. While I was learning about culture, I was also experiencing incredible global architecture," said Rubin, who was the featured speaker for the 2015 Phanstiel Lecture at Syracuse University. "It made such an impact on my life that I wanted to figure out a way for others to have this same experience."
Today, Rubin is president of The Republic of Tea, a family-owned and operated company based in Novato, California.

Unica Zürn
Unica Zürn (6 July 1916 – 19 October 1970) was a German author and artist. Zürn is remembered for her works of anagram poetry and automatic drawing and for her photographic collaborations with Hans Bellmer. An exhibition of Bellmer and Zürn's work took place at the Ubu Gallery in New York City in the spring of 2012.[1]
Born Nora Berta Unica Ruth, Zürn was raised in a well-to-do but dysfunctional family in Berlin-Grunewald. She idolized her mostly absent father, Ralph Zürn, a cavalry officer stationed in Africa (as well as a not particularly successful writer and editor), but had a contentious relationship with her mother, his third wife, Helene Pauline Heerdt.[2] Unica also had an older brother, who she claimed sexually abused her when she was a young girl.[3] Her parents divorced in 1930 and she left school shortly after.[4]
Zürn worked at the Universum Film AG during the Third Reich. Despite the fact that it was the national film company, she supposedly remained ignorant of the atrocities being perpetrated by the Nazis, or at least to their extent, until she chanced upon an underground radio report describing the concentration camps in 1942.[5] That same year she married a much older, wealthy man named Erich Laupenmühlen. Their first child, Katrin, was born in 1943 and their second, Christina, in 1945.[2] A surgical procedure to repair a genital tear from childbirth was botched only to be followed by the multiple "back-alley" abortions Unica endured during her later relationship with Hans Bellmer.[3] In 1949, she and Erich divorced, and she lost custody of her children;[2] she could not afford a lawyer nor did she have the means to provide for them.[3]
For the next few years Zürn eked out a living writing short stories for newspapers and radio plays and became romantically involved with the painter Alexander Camaro. Shortly after separating from Camaro in 1953,[2] she met artist Hans Bellmer at an exhibition of his work at either the Maison de France[2][5] or at the Galerie Springer[2] in Berlin (accounts differ). Not long afterward, she moved with him to Paris, becoming his partner and model, most famously in a series of photographs that Bellmer took of Zürn bound tightly with rope. One of the "Unica Tied Up" works was exhibited in Bellmer's 1959 exhibit "Doll,"[6] and at times he seemed to conflate Zürn with the dolls of his obsession.[7]
In Paris, Zürn began experimenting with automatic drawing and anagrams, pursuits Bellmer encouraged, and these early works were collected in Hexentexte (1954).[2] Between 1956 and 1964 she had four solo exhibitions of her drawings and her work was included in the "Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme."[8] The couple frequented the city's surrealist and related artistic circles, becoming acquainted with Hans Arp, Victor Brauner, André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Man Ray, Joyce Mansour, André Pieyre de Mandiargues, and others. Most important, however, was Zürn's 1957 introduction to Henri Michaux, who she identified as the "man of jasmine," a fantasy figure from her childhood. She joined him in several of his experiments with mescaline, and these drug experiences may have precipitated her first mental crisis.[7]
In 1960 Zürn experienced her first psychotic episode, and she was in and out of psychiatric hospitals for the rest of her life, suffering from both dissociative states and severe depression. Modern scholars generally believe that she had schizophrenia, and that was indeed the initial diagnosis by staff doctors at Karl-Bonhoeffer-Heilstätten during her first hospitalization, though it was later retracted.[8] It has also been suggested that rather than schizophrenia she may have suffered from bipolar disorder with psychotic features.[3]
After her first hospitalization and a suicide attempt, Zürn returned home in a wheelchair and destroyed most of her drawings and writings.[2] She was subsequently taken to the Saint-Anne psychiatric clinic (which was associated with Jacques Lacan), where one of her doctors was Gaston Ferdière, who also treated Antonin Artaud.[5] Despite her ongoing battle with mental illness, Zürn continued to produce work and Michaux regularly brought her art supplies.[2] Her psychological difficulties inspired much of her writing, above all Der Mann im Jasmin [The Man of Jasmine] (1971).
In 1969 Bellmer had a stroke that left him paralyzed, and the next year he informed Zürn that he could no longer "be responsible" for her. About six months later, in October 1970, the 54-year-old Zürn committed suicide by leaping from the window of their Paris apartment while on a five-day leave from a hospital.[5] At his request, Bellmer was buried next to Zürn upon his death in 1975.
The writings and artwork for which Zürn is best known were produced during the 1950s and 60s. Her published texts include Hexentete [The Witches' Texts] (1954), a book of anagram poetry accompanied by drawings, and the semi-autobiographical Dunkler Frûhling [Dark Spring] (1967) and Der Mann im Jasmin [The Man of Jasmine] (1971), both of which have acquired a cult following in Paris.[3][9] A violent aggression towards the female body is displayed in her stories,[6] and they often consist mostly of internal dialogue.
The majority of her mature texts, if not explicitly autobiographical, closely resemble the author's life experiences. Dark Spring is a coming of age novel, of sorts, that follows a young woman as she has her first sexual encounters and experiences the first hints of mental illness. Several recurring archetypal characters appear in the book: the idealized father, the despised mother, and a troubled girl with masochistic tendencies.[5] Disconcertingly, Zürn's death seems to be foreshadowed in the text as the protagonist of Dark Spring eventually commits suicide by jumping out of her bedroom window. The posthumously published The Man of Jasmine and Other Texts and the expanded version,The House of Illnesses: Stories and Pictures from a Case of Jaundice, are insightful examinations of mental collapse that detail Zürn's psychological experiences and multiple hospitalizations. The nightmarish novella The Trumpets of Jericho, a disturbing account of childbirth, was recently published in English.
Visual Art[edit]
Though Zürn made a few paintings in the early 1950s, she primarily worked in ink, pencil, and gouache.[7] Her fantastical, precisely rendered works are populated by imaginary plants, chimeras, and amorphous humanoid forms, sometimes with multiple faces emerging from their distorted bodies. Eyes are omnipresent[2] and the drawings are resplendent with intricate and often repetitive marks.
Zürn is one of the few women associated with the Surrealist movement; others include Leonora Carrington, Dorothea Tanning, Kay Sage, Eileen Agar, Ithell Colquhoun, Toyen, Leonor Fini and Valentine Hugo.[9]

Stronger-than-expected international bookings drove Priceline's (PCLN) Q3 profit and revenue above views as the online travel firm bucked a challenge in Europe by rival Expedia (EXPE), analysts say.
Shares in Priceline jumped 10.7% in early trading Friday. Shares in travel review site TripAdvisor (TRIP), which on Thursday also reported Q3 results above views, soared 20%. Expedia's shares edged up 1.2%.
Priceline reported Q3 results above estimates after the market close on Thursday and gave higher-than-expected Q4 guidance.
Priceline said Q3 revenue grew 17.4% to $1.7 billion. The firm said global bookings in Q3 rose 41%, well ahead of expectations.
"International bookings growth was driven by strong hotel supply growth as well as solid results at Rentalcars.com," said Raymond James analyst Aaron Kessler, who on Friday raised his price target on the stock to $735 per share from $670.
In Q4, Priceline said it expects international bookings to grow 32%.
"The key take-away for Q3 may, in fact, be that the rising tide of transition from offline to online travel bookings internationally is strong enough to support material growth for multiple players," Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson said in a report. "Priceline continues to be a share taker in international online travel, something that was in question following Expedia's strong Q3 results."
TripAdvisor on Thursday reported per-share profit of 46 cents, beating views. Expedia reported Q3 results that beat analyst views on Oct. 25.
Prior to Priceline's earnings release on Thursday, IBD's leisure/online travel group was ranked No. 76 out of 197 industry sectors.
At Nomura Securities, analyst Brian Nowak says Priceline is weathering Expedia's challenge.
"(In Q3), Priceline removed investor concerns that its European business is being dramatically impacted by Expedia's growth gains, as the company said they are continuing to grow faster than their competition in the major markets," he said. "We estimate that Priceline grew faster than Expedia internationally (off of a much larger base)."
For the September quarter, Priceline reported a per-share profit of $12.40 vs. analyst views of $11.81. Earnings per share were up 25% from the year-ago period.
Macquarie capital analyst Tom White, in a report, said Priceline's Q4 guidance, despite weakening economies in Europe, was upbeat.
"Commentary on stabilization in Priceline's European business (for now at least) was an incremental positive," he said. "Macro risk in Europe is unlikely to abate any time soon, but management's constructive comments around stabilizing trends and the company's robust international gross bookings guidance highlight the resiliency of its business model, in our view."
