Rear WindowClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Rear Window, considered a classic Alfred Hitchcock mystery, reflects the social and ethical values of the 1950s when it was made. Characters drink and smoke frequently; the men often leer at pretty women; and the film is set in an all-white urban neighborhood. The theme of the film, however, has currency. It's about voyeurism -- spying on unaware neighbors, jumping to conclusions about those neighbors, and acting impulsively. One suspenseful scene finds the wheelchair-bound hero in physical jeopardy from an attacker who may be a murderer who dismembered his wife. A dog is found dead with its neck broken.
- Sexual Content
- Many romantic kisses, embracing, cuddling -- no nudity or actual sexual activity. A ballerina, in scanty clothing obliviously frolics in her apartment as men observe her on numerous occasions. It is implied that a newlywed couple makes love from dawn till dark.
- Violence
- Several suspenseful scenes when characters get too close as they investigate a possible murder. One scary stalking sequence results in a scuffle during which the hero's life is violently threatened. A dog that the audience has come to know is found dead, its neck broken. After a crash and scream are heard, there's talk of possible murder and dismemberment.
- Language
- Not applicable
- Social Behavior
- Mixed-messages. Though the ethics of eavesdropping and spying are topics of the characters' conversation in a number of scenes, the outcome eventually validates the act of eavesdropping and spying. And though the protagonist at times seems nosy, interfering, and is very much a Peeping Tom, the behavior is validated when he becomes a hero.
- Consumerism
- Life Magazine, General Motors.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- As was typical of movies made in the 1950s, there is an easy, unquestioning consumption of alcoholic beverages in various social situations: at dinner, while visiting, at parties, and while relaxing alone. Two minor characters are shown drinking excessively. Several characters smoke.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Helping consumers?
Awhile ago, I vented about a credit card company changing my interest rate capriciously. No late payments, no decline in credit score, and yet they shifted me from a single digit interest rate to a rate over 20%.
How things can change in a few months!
Today, another credit card service sent me a bill with $0.00 in the minimum payment box, despite a balance of several hundred dollars.
Under "Important News" at the bottom of the statement:
You have the flexibility to skip a payment. You must pay past due and overlimit balances immediately. However, the remaining minimum payment for this month has been reduced to $0. Finance charges will continue to accrue. To reduce your balance, feel free to make a payment.
Well, I did feel free to make a payment. But I can't help but think this is a trap for people who are financially even more pressed than I am. It would be so easy to "feel free" not to make a payment.
Suze Orman always reminds us to pay more than the minimum payment. I have a good sense what the minimum would normally be, and I multiply that by at least 4. When I had a job, I always paid the balance off. That's not possible right now. But it's more important than ever to keep from falling further behind.
I'm guessing the intention is to give a little leeway to people who can't pay this month but can next. If that's the case, it should be part of the "Important News." I couldn't find a further explanation anywhere.
It's great for credit companies to adopt fair practices. This particular company has always been ahead of the game that way. It's great for the government to set regulations and put limits on usury to protect consumers.
But let the buyer/borrower still beware. If you don't pay today, you'll pay more tomorrow. Some things don't change.

Interior detailer
June 4, 2012
oddly enough, this product is at its best on the interior of the car. Plastic , vinyl, and leather. It cleans well and leaves a nice even finish on the interior with no streaking at all. On paint, i'm not a big fan. You have to be sure to follow up with a dry towel and buff off slowly. I'm sure it adds good protection, but I would not prefer to use this on a dusty car because of how much you need to be sure to rub it in and buff it off. I actually really prefer to use it to dust off leather each week as a maintenance upkeep inbetween full out cleaning and protection routines. Next i'm going to try using it to clean up weekly after applying Ultima Interior Gaurd Plus. I wanted to give it 4 stars, but based on the fact that most people would not realize to use it on the interior and will only use it for paint usage, I have to give it 3.

I use this alot and have found it to be a great quick detailer. It does a great job removing bird droppings, water spots, etc. I find it works great for removing any water spots during drying. I also use it in the door jambs. Overall a great quick detailer.

Headlines were made last week when it was announced that the Augusta National, home of The Masters championship, was to admit two women for the first time in it's 80 year history. It should be noted that their first black member only joined in 1990, so it's not exactly on the bleeding edge of modern day concepts.
Nevertheless, most people have accepted this as a great step towards equality, and it has led to further calls for other male-only clubs to open their doors. However, there's yet to be much commentary around the actual issue of women playing golf.
There has been a lot of discussion in the UK over the past few months about quotas and increasing the number of women at senior levels. Numerous firms have implemented strategies to get high potential women the attention and support they need to reach Board level promotion. Yet, while coaching and mentoring and unique project opportunities can go so far, what about golf?
Career experts have been saying for years that women must play golf to reach the highest echelons of business. Golf has long known to be key to the professional advancement of men, presenting unique networking opportunities, providing a forum for business deals and even in the non-profit sector, being leveraged for fundraising. I once worked at a company with a Women's Network that innovatively organised a golf weekend away once a year. The weekend was open to all female employees at all levels, to provide a comfortable way to either learn how to play golf from scratch or improve your skills, while networking across the firm.
Should women play golf? Part of the desperate push to make women play golf is to break the mindset that hard work yields results. In the big, bad, corporate world we all know the truth: it is about who you know. And if that's the case, then surely we should leverage the best relationship building tool in existence, i.e. golf!
But then there are the practicalities to consider. What if you don't have time for it? Sure, 4 hours of networking can be great, but if you have children at home, food to cook, a house to clean and shopping to do then maybe there just aren't enough hours in a day. Is golf really practical for the real woman? As much as I hate to say it, Condoleezza Rice is a single, childless woman who undoubtedly has help for all of those tasks. I'm sure she'll have plenty of time to enjoy making friends at Augusta.
Finally, what about the game itself? If you google women and golf, you will get pages and pages of information basically saying the above. Almost no one talks about the logistics or pleasure of golf. What if you simply don't enjoy it? A consistent piece of advice that I espouse is to be authentic. Authenticity will garner you promotions, networks and everlasting success, according to the experts. Playing golf because all the men do, is that really an authentic activity? I'm a little tired of hearing that all women must do this or that to get ahead. Maybe we should all start doing what we actually want. Maybe we should look to change the business environment, instead of ourselves.
Personally, I'm not sold on golf. But given she loves the sport, I think it's great that Condi gets to play.

It's a process that can be stressful on the most coveted prospects, but for Shelton Gibson it has been a treat.
"It's been fun," Gibson told InsideTennessee. "As long as the coaches aren't pressuring me, it's been cool. I haven't had coaches pressuring me like, 'Sheton, you need to come here, you need to come here.' They tell me, 'Wherever you go, I want them to use you right.' So, it's all good."
The FOX Sports NEXT four-star wide receiver gave a verbal commitment to West Virginia on Wednesday. How the Mountaineers use wideout Tavon Austin excites Gibson.
"West Virginia really looks like they have the best offense for me now," Gibson said.
In spite of the pledge, other schools aren't slowing in their recruitment of the Cleveland Heights (Ohio) High standout. Kentucky, Ohio State and Tennessee badly want a set of skills like Gibson possesses in uniform.
Gibson confirmed to InsideTennessee that he is still taking his official visit to Knoxville this weekend in spite of his West Virginia pledge.
"I'm looking forward to seeing how the offensive coordinator is and if they throw the ball a lot and the school and academics and the coaching," Gibson said.
Tennessee's lead recruiter for Gibson is former Auburn assistant Tommy Thigpen. Prior to Thigpen's arrival, the Vols were not on the Ohio native's radar.
"I was real close with (Thigpen) when he was at Auburn. That was one of my top schools. Now that he's down there, I want to go see what Tennessee is like," Gibson said.
Tennessee coach Butch Jones also has some ties to Gibson and those close to him, including tight end and "big brother" Travis Kelce and wide receiver Jeremy Graves, both of whom played for Jones at Cincinnati.
The four-star is fresh off a week in San Antonio where he competed for the East team in the U.S. All-American Bowl. He said the safeties Tray Matthews and Dymonte Thomas stood out among the talent he battled.
Gibson is on a short list of elite pass catchers that Tennessee is pursuing down the stretch. Among those also being recruited hard are Marquez North, Jason Smith and Rob Wheelwright.

"The West Wing is one of the most acclaimed network television series of the last decades, and until now one of the least analyzed. Janet McCabe's fine work has addressed that omission with a concise and highly readable account that will be useful to anyone interested in American culture and media." (Michele Hilmes, author of Network Nations: A Transnational History of British and American Broadcasting)"This well-researched, clearly written, and informative view of The West Wing will be appreciated by both media scholars and TV aficionados alike. McCabe's book follows in the televisual 'Tradition of Quality' exemplified by the primetime program itself. Combining behind-the-scenes insights with an integrative cultural studies approach, the volume focuses on the television industry, as well as on the show's political and thematic relevance, televisual auteurism, and the aesthetic dimensions of narrative, characters, and TV stylistics. This volume could serve as a work of scholarship, a course textbook, or just a great read for fans of the best drama on network television." (Frank P.

Dear New Zealand,
It's time we had the talk. You know the one? The one we've been putting of for aaages and aaaages because, well, because we love our pussycats in this country. We have one of the highest cat ownership rates in the world, if no the highest. Almost half of all households in New Zealand have at least one cat, and 20 per cent have more than two. There are more than a million cats in the country - with little to no regulation or monitoring on them.
Don't get me wrong, I've been part of the problem too. From Fluffy, to Smokey, Bart and Lisa - I have grown up with cats. Cats I've loved, dearly. But as I grew up, I realised I loved other things too. The things that make New Zealand so special. And as I learned to love these new things, I learned about their plight. I learned that New Zealand is a "land of birds", with no native terrestrial mammals except for two tiny species of bat. I learned that our birds, reptiles and invertebrates had evolved for 80 million years in the absence of mammalian hunters, and that a veritable onslaught of introduced hunters had wiped out many species of birds, reptiles, a bat - and innumberable invertebrates. (Remember the story about the single cat that destroyed over a hundred endangered bats in the space of a week?)
I know many of you have cats, love your cats and don't like it when people bring up the issue of cats and their impact on our native wildlife. I know there'll be many people who'll respond saying their cat doesn't hunt, or only hunts rodents (and yes cats do kill plenty of rodents)... But it's time we got real. I'm not saying you have to do anything, I'm simply saying let's be realistic about what having cats means for our native wildlife.
In the beginning:
Cats have been established in New Zealand for almost 200 years and right from the beginning their hunting prowess in our native bush was recorded; Cook noticed during his second voyage to Aotearoa in 1773 that the cat was often hunting in the forest.
The most famous example of a cat sending a species to extinction was the story of the Stephens Island wren, a tiny flightless bird that scuttled about like a mouse. In 1894, the lighthouse keeper's cat Tibbles brought him one of these tiny birds. Within a year they had all disappeared - into cat bellies. From the moment of discovery to the time it took to get the bird specimen sent to London to be formally described, the Stephens Island wren was wiped off the planet. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't just down to Tibbles, but a number of cats that were ranging across the island at the time.
North Island saddleback, pied tit, tui and red-crowned parakeet were eliminated on Cuvier Island, off the Coromandel coast, mostly through predation by cats. A precious population of kakapo (including crucial females) was rediscovered on Stewart Island in 1977, free from stoats, ferrets and weasels - but easy prey to feral cats. By 1987, all remaining kakapo were evacuated off Stewart Island before they too were lost forever.
This is a picture of a kakapo that's been annihilated by a cat.
Today we have a bizarre situation where people think it is their "right" to have a cat (or many, many cats) with no licensing, registration or monitoring or rules, and bugger the wildlife. People around the world would find this attitude very strange.
My Aunty in Brisbane is one of the biggest cat lovers I know, but she also loves her wildlife (and she has plenty of it! A house surrounded by trees, parrots, parakeets, butcher birds, kangaroos, even the odd python). So at her house her cats live a fantastic life indoors with a catdoor to "outside", which is a caged area. They get natural sunlight, a place to go to the toilet, but no chance to take a swipe at a passing cockatoo or other Aussie animal.
A couple of months ago, I made an offhand comment to a journalist that if you live in an area with lots of native wildlife, perhaps when your cat dies you might choose not to replace it. You would think I had committed the ultimate blasphemy! An afternoon of interviews followed, culminating in an appearance on Close Up that evening alongside a lady who was a cat lover (I think she had 10), but agreed with the suggestion that cats near wildlife areas weren't a great idea. (I suspect the Close Up producers were gutted we were in agreement since they'd been trumpeting a "cat fight" between us in all the advertising preceding the interview.)
I had cats my whole childhood, but I choose not to have another one, because I really like my birdlife around the place. On the front page of the Dominion Post this week Zealandia staff have suggested the same thing in order to protect the birds that are starting to fly out of the sanctuary and take up residence in nearby backyards. Good suggestion. If you choose to live in a place spilling over with wildlife like Zealandia in Karori, why on earth would you have a cat? I'd rather have half a dozen kaka visiting, personally.
So New Zealand, I know we love our cats, but we love our wildlife too. Can we make some changes to give our wildlife a chance to thrive? A scientist friend suggest we microchip all of our cats, meaning we could keep tabs on domestic moggies and get rid of feral cats. Is this a way forward? I want to hear your suggestions too.
Yours faithfully,
Nicola (former cat owner, still a cat-liker, but more and more a native wildlife lover)

Zealandia does not get any respect from me due to the fact they are hemorrhaging council/ratepayer money (including fighting a council decision) and just trying to use this as a deflection against that.
As for cats themselves, they are part of the ecological system. Like anything, if you remove one part, something else flourishes and/or dies. Cats are not the only predator that other wildlife has to deal with, nor are the ones you want to protect the only targets for cats. So be careful what you wish for.
Better education for cat owners to get their pets fixed is needed. Most already do, but there are still some who don't. We fostered a pregnant kitten in January who was neglected by her "owner". Once she gave birth, the 5 new kittens were found homes then fixed before they went and the mother was also fixed. So, yep, 6 cats, but they won't be having more.
I could say more but what does it matter? The sensationalists and extremists will spout their views and it'll all end up in a big slanging match as usual.
I think micro-chipping certain pets should be compulsory (i.e. dogs and cats.)
I think the gentle recommendation about not having cats in you live in certain wildlife friendly areas sounds sensible.
I don't disagree with keeping tabs on your cat. And they really are very happy to just be left indoors forever. It's warm and there are soft things to lie on.
Also, any chance this blog can get through a day of comments without people posting "Death to all cats" or the like? I realise that's unlikely, but if you honestly think that's reasonable, please seek therapy.
I'm all for protecting our native wildlife and think cat owners should take more responsibility for controlling their cats and not letting it roam free... BUT what would happen to the mice and rat population? Will it explode once the cats are controlled?
@ Cy, I do think that it is reasonable to remove all non-native mammal and marsupial breeds (except commercially maintained food, dairy, and fibre animals) from NZ's eco-sphere. I think it needs a much bigger effort than has been made to date and I think the only surviors should be working dogs and the animals they herd.
There is no practical reason for pet ownership in NZ, though I can see Keas being domesticated quite successfully, and yes, I do agree that there is a spiritual and companion aspect to pet ownership but the flip side of feline and canine pets is genocide for species that have no natural predators.
We're a nation of cat lovers and bird lovers with a good dose of cognitive dissonance thrown in. I don't believe we need to make the choice of one over the other, but we can't continue to do what we're doing in just letting our cats roam free. What we need are realistic solutions that reduce the pressure on the birds and that are acceptable to cats and their owners. Curfews? Indoor cats only? Thanks for continuing the conversation Nik!
I own two cats and love them dearly. I also love native birds and would love to find a way to make our mainland islands pest free so the native wildlife can flourish in safety. I realise this means doing something about cats. I live in Karori and my yard is full of birds, thanks in part to the Sanctuary I think. In their 7 years of life my cats have brought home between them 3 birds but HUNDREDS (literally) of rats. I think a middle ground (or starting point) would be to keep tabs on cats (microchipping, registration), eliminate wild cats, and maybe start thinking outside the box on how to stop the registered cats killing birds - could they be trained as kittens to only hut rats (aversion therapy or something)? Then they would be part of the solution....
Check out this site for some fantastic ideas for keeping cats, from mini windowbox verandahs, to amazing treetop catwalks and aviaries:
In many parts of the world cats are kept indoors to protect wildlife (some states of Australia) or because the local wildlife kills cats (coyotes in some parts of the US).
I do not presently have a cat, and if I do I'll be doing something like this- no cat aids, no run over heartbreak, and no killing of wildlife :)
Great article Nicola.
Mandatory de-sexing, registering, microchipping, night curfews, and bans in certain areas would tackle some of the problem.
But the cats are still there. Like pokies, we should have a 'sinking lid' policy on cat ownership. But it would only garner favour if this was the will of the people, not the law. If people are sufficiently educated about their murderous fluff balls they will come to the decision themselves not to replace their cats.
Had cats for years with absolutely minimal bird kill and plenty of rodent kills and our garden is full of native birds including weka. We've been in Russell twelve years and during that time not one single bird was killed by our cat or dog.
So I don't think you can generalise. Owners may or may not be responsible and competent. Cats may or may not be hunters. I suspect the survival and abundance of bird life depends more on people's willingness to provide habitat and sustenance for them than removing all cats from the neighbourhood.

Stenciling Technique Tips
A cookie decorating technique after my own heart, stenciling doesn't require that you be a born-again Van Gogh. With a pretty stencil, the right consistency of Royal Icing, and some practice, anyone can make gorgeous stenciled works of art. Read on for details and/or check out Lesson 10 in my cookie decorating video series.
What you'll need:
- As many gingerbread or sugar cookies as you want to decorate
- Enough Royal Icing to topcoat and stencil these cookies
- Water, for thinning icing, as needed
- Powdered sugar, for thickening icing, as needed
- Liqua-gel (aka soft gel) food coloring of your choice, to desired shade
- Stencil of choice (my favorite source)
- Metal trussing needle or toothpick, as needed
- Small offset spatula (about 3/4 x 3 1/4-inch blade)
1 | Either naked or topcoated cookies may be stenciled, but it you choose the latter, make sure the Royal Icing top coats have dried to the point of being quite hard (ideally overnight).
2 | Mix the remaining Royal Icing not used for topcoating to stenciling consistency, and tint it with liqua-gel food coloring to contrast the color of your topcoated or bare cookies.
3 | Choose a stencil that lies very flat across the top coat and whose pattern fits the top coat with some room to spare on all sides. If your stencil is too wide for the cookie, it can lift up at the edge of the top coat, allowing the stenciling icing to sneak underneath into areas it shouldn't be. Stenciling-newbies are best off using stencils with relatively wide openings spaced relatively far apart (no closer than 1/16 inch), such as the one used on the cookies, center right. Closely spaced openings make it much harder to achieve a crisp pattern, as the icing is more likely to run together between openings. If you choose a tightly spaced stencil despite my words of caution, then err on the side of thicker icing in order to minimize running and blurring. Remember: you can always adjust the icing consistency whenever needed by thinning with additional water, or thickening with powdered sugar.
4 | Work with one cookie at a time. With one hand, hold the stencil firmly against the cookie top. (When there isn't a lot of room for my fingers on top, I'll use a trussing needle or toothpick to steady the stencil.) Check to make sure the stencil is still lying flush against the cookie top coat in all areas. With the other hand, grab a small offset spatula and spread a thin layer of icing over the openings in the stencil. The icing need not be applied any thicker than the depth of the stencil; otherwise, you'll leave peaks in the icing when you lift off the stencil. However, be sure to apply enough icing so you can't see through to the top coat. Most important: Do not move the stencil while applying the icing, or the resulting pattern will be blurred.
5 | Lift the stencil slowly and steadily off the cookie; then wipe any icing off the bottom of the stencil before proceeding to the next cookie. For the sharpest patterns, wash and thoroughly dry the stencil after every 2 or 3 cookies. Do not rub the stencil dry, or you can damage the stencil. Instead, lay it flat between sheets of paper towels and gently pat dry.
For more stenciling details, check out Lesson 10 of my new video series, available on DVD here or in the link below.
I was wondering if you could share what was used to acheieve the beautiful tan/beige color on the Understated Elegance
round cookies above..I have tried so many times to get this shade with no luck or anything remotely close. Thanks
By Deb Moroni on November 10, 2011
Good question - that color is very hard to achieve. The only brand/color that I've found that has gotten me close is CK Products Ivory, what was used here! Hope this helps: https://www.ckproducts.com/cake.asp?lastid=75
By Julia M Usher on November 10, 2011
Thank you so very much! it is such a lovely shade. I really appricate it and can't wait to get a couple of bottles…Thank You..Thank You!!!
By Deb Moroni on November 10, 2011
where did you get the stencils especially the swirl one. it is beautiful thanks
By salma essop on August 01, 2012
Hi, Salma, Thanks! I'm not sure I remember (I made those cookies a while ago), but in all likelihood, it came from designerstencils.com. I get most all of my stencils from them.
By Julia M Usher on August 01, 2012
I am fairly new at decorating and would like to learn as much as I can. I find your instructions very helpful when it comes to decoration cookies, which I like to do. The best part about decorating is that if you screw up, you can always eat the miastakes yourself.
By Thomas L. Fessler on December 23, 2012
Thanks, Thomas. You're so right (speaking of the part about eating your mistakes)! If you're looking for more cookie decorating instruction, I thought you might want to check out my new video series, a cookie decorating course. I have put together 16 lessons that range from the basics of making royal icing to more advanced techniques like stenciling, stamping, wafer-papering, etc. Each lesson ranges between 8 to 30 minutes with a total of 4 hours of footage. You can find it in my site store at the bottom of this page, here: http://www.juliausher.com/store/category/video Best of luck with perfecting your craft! Also, feel free to ask me questions at any time; I'd be happy to help out!
By Julia M Usher on December 23, 2012
I used to use this technique in card making, using a palette knife and spackle. lol
Gorgeous cookies. :-)
By Carole on January 10, 2013
Thanks, Carole! It's a really fun and easy technique, once you get the hang of keeping the stencil steady and how much (or rather little) icing you need to stencil.
By Julia M Usher on January 13, 2013

In return, I say thank you! I very much appreciate your kind words! Alternatively . . .
Karşılığında, ben teşekkür! Ben çok nazik sözleriniz için teşekkür ederiz!
By Julia M Usher on February 24, 2013
My friend and I are needing to experiment with stenciling on cookies, but were wondering if the material that the stencil is made of makes a difference as we will be needing to make our own stencil.
Thanks so much!
By Nissa on April 26, 2013
Hi, Nissa, I use a thin gauge acetate when making stencils (or custom templates for cutting out cookies). It's easy to cut with a Xacto knife, plus it's cleanable (unlike cardboard). However, wash under warm, not hot water, as too hot water can cause the acetate to warp or bend, which can render a stencil pretty much unusable.
By Julia M Usher on April 26, 2013
Dear Fellow cookie lovers….If you have any doubts what so ever on rather to buy Julia's 16 lessons on the ultimate sugar cookie ...DON'T Hesitate to purchase…this DVD is worth every penny ...Amazing DVD, and a value that you just can't pass up. It even more reasonable than most instructional DVDs out there Thank you Julia for the great DVD as well as inspiring some great ideas!!!
By Deb on April 26, 2013
Thanks so much, Deb, for the kind words about my video series! For anyone following this post, the series does contain a fairly detailed lesson on stenciling, which you may want to check out. It's available in my site store (link at the bottom of the home page). Or here: http://www.juliausher.com/store/video/videos_on_dvd
By Julia M Usher on April 26, 2013
I've seen beautiful cake pops with perfect swirl designs, are there any stencils for cake pops? If so, what is the best way to apply them?
Thank You
By Kim on November 30, 2013
Hi, Kim. It's really hard to stencil on small curved surfaces like those of a cake pop, so I suspect the patterns you saw were just expertly piped. But if you email me an image, I would be better able to tell you how it was done. Email is email@example.com. Thanks.
By Julia M Usher on November 30, 2013
Can regular stencils be used for cookie decorating? And what size id the R stencil you are using above?
By Candy Moody on June 24, 2015
Hi, Candy. I don't know what you mean by "regular stencils," but it is always best to use food-grade ones on food when you can. Others (i.e., from the craft store) will work, of course, but they may not be made in ways that are food-safe. As for the R stencil, I don't know the exact size offhand (I made it more than a year ago), but I think it was about 2 inches tall, or slightly less. Hope this helps, and happy decorating!

Beanies are big and burgundy is everywhere.
When New York fashion week controversially upped and moved its position in the catwalk season running order, so that rather than happening after London, Milan and Paris it took an early slot before any of the others, the idea was to give the city's fashion scene some breathing space out of the shadow of Europe. No longer could London claim New York was copying its ideas; no longer would buyers arrive weary.
It was a good plan, and for many seasons it worked; this week, however, it backfired. New York isn't over. Shows go on until late Thursday. But so far, despite some strong shows and very nice clothes, it has felt like a cocktail party that passes without incident, ending with taxis called at a civilised hour rather than a highly charged all-back-to-mine rave-up.
A few examples: Alexander Wang's show was strong, but the drop-waists and softly voluminous silhouettes – along with the choice of the ticketing hall of the Cunard building as a venue – framed it clearly as a precursor to Wang's much-anticipated debut at Balenciaga next week, more a wave to Paris than a bow to New York. And then there was Oscar de la Renta, colossus of American fashion, whose show was dominated by chatter about his infamous intern from across the Atlantic, John Galliano. More than anything else, the rescheduling of Marc Jacobs' mainline show to a graveyard slot on Valentine's night – a delay caused by the non-arrival of fabrics following the Nemo blizzard – set the week off-kilter, as if someone had moved Christmas Day to 30 December at a few days' notice, leaving you unsure when to don your party hats and pull your crackers.
There was something inevitable about the fact that the undisputed model of the week was a Brit. If there's one thing you need to do to be on-trend right now, it is to become obsessed with Cara Delevingne, whose caterpillar eyebrows stomped down almost every catwalk this week. With a Twitter feed featuring snaps of her snogging Rita Ora and eating packets of Monster Munch, she did her level best to liven up New York.
The next big thing: Menswear fabrics
Last season's big womenswear noise was around a mannish silhouette; for autumn, it's all about menswear fabrics. Tommy Hilfiger gave preppy style a kooky Hogwarts twist by layering up houndstooth, Prince of Wales checks, and pinstripes. See also: windowpane plaid at Victoria Beckham and Philip Lim, houndstooth at Thom Browne, herringbone at DKNY and J Crew.
The comeback: Layering
Remember how we were all, "layering's so over, it's all about the crisp simple pieces"? Well, scratch that. Your outfit isn't happening unless there's a shirt collar and tails poking out at neckline and cuff (just one symptom of the general Céline-ification of the modern runway). This is Philip Lim; for a cuter, cleaner take on the same idea see J Crew.
The accessory: The beanie
It felt symptomatic of the way this New York fashion week never quite caught fire that the much-hyped grunge revival was not as clear a catwalk trend as expected. The exception was the beanie, the undisputed catwalk and streetstyle key look of the week, seen everywhere from Victoria by Victoria Beckham to Tommy Hilfiger.
The retro trend: 70s glam
"It's not about going to a party, it's about life as a party," said Diane von Fürstenberg backstage. Who's going to argue with that? Von Fürstenberg and Marc by Marc Jacobs both reached back to a glorious era of NYC history, the late 70s, to inject some feelgood rock'n'roll glamour into the week.
The new matchy-matchy: Matchy-matchy-matchy-matchy
Seriously. At DKNY, a pink-tinged leopard sweater was worn with a skirt, bag and shoes – all in the same print. Fashion is about finding new ways to make matching modern, right now. At J Crew there was a new kind of trouser suit: matching sleek, tailored tracksuit bottoms and sweatshirt in upscale fabric. Just don't call it a tracksuit.
The silhouette: The round shoulder
If you change one thing, change this: the sharp shoulder is dead. It doesn't really matter whether you take the Alexander Wang route (a Paul Poiret, kimono-ish silhouette) or the sportier, DKNY/Victoria Beckham/J Crew raglan sleeve route. What matters is that the shoulder is soft and rounded, not Gaga-sharp. Got it?
The name to drop: Thom Browne
He is known for two fashion moments: instigating the cropped-trouser trend as a hipster-menswear motif, and dressing Michelle Obama in a necktie-inspired dress for the inauguration. His show this season confounded those who expected him to use the inauguration as a commercial springboard: all exaggerated silhouettes and theatrics, it was bonkers and utterly brilliant.
The new phrase: Madder carmine
I won't lie, I had to look it up. Turns out, madder carmine is a purplish red. In the parlance of the British school uniform, we know it as burgundy. Burgundy is making an early attempt to oust navy this season, cropping up everywhere from Victoria by Victoria Beckham to Diane von Fürstenberg.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
There's nothing else like Pondicheri in Houston, not even Indika, Anita Jaisinghani's first and extant modern Indian restaurant in Montrose. Here in River Oaks, Pondicheri shakes up everything you thought you knew about Indian street food, offering Jaisinghani's updated interpretations for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even tea. Breakfast and lunch are counter-service affairs, inexpensive and filling, with items like a breakfast thali with a little of everything, or a frankie to-go (that's an Indian breakfast taco; give it a try). At night, the space is truly alive with a buzzing energy from the busy kitchen and the packed dining room, with table service bringing out immense plates of Texas shrimp chaat and clever wine-based cocktails from the small but inviting bar.
Los Dos Amigos holds court with other old souls Wabash Feed Store, Guadalajara Bakery and Laredo Taqueria as reminders of Washington Avenue's not-so-distant past, and it's held on this long for good reason: The food, especially the enchiladas, seems to get better the longer Los Dos sticks around. And the gooey, surprisingly greaseless cheese enchiladas with a fried egg on top are the best dish here, available on the dinner menu even though most people order them for breakfast. Kicked up with a shot of the vinegar-based red sauce on each table, these enchiladas are truly the breakfast of champions.
The tequila selection alone at Hugo's — more than 40 choices, counting its bottles of mezcal — should indicate that you're in for a serious cocktail at this Mexican favorite. Sommelier Sean Beck dreams up exciting twists on the classic cocktail, like El Sueño Profundo with smoky mezcal, but it's the standard Hugorita for $7.50 that we like best. Created with Sauza Silver, Hiram Walker Triple Sec, simple syrup and fresh lime juice, it's mixed tableside. We also love the Y Porque No margarita for only $5 during its weekday happy hours.
One could argue that the real people-watching goes down in the valet drive that's shared by Philippe and its next door neighbor, RDG + Bar Annie. But the younger set always makes its way up Philippe's grand staircase, and that's where the pretty young thing-watching commences. Celebrities both local and national — think Robert Kardashian and Carolyn Farb — love this little slice of glitz and glamour in Houston, and especially love being seen with its handsome chef, the eponymous Philippe Schmit. But even regular schmoes like us can enjoy Philippe, too; the French-Texan menu is surprisingly affordable, as is its excellent wine list.
Southwestern cuisine stopped being hip in Houston somewhere around Cafe Annie's millionth year in existence, long before its closure last year. So imagine our surprise when TQLA swooped in with Southwestern vet Tommy Birdwell at the helm and made it cool again. (Of course, having 167 different varieties of tequila, many of them on tap, doesn't hurt either.) The updated Southwestern cuisine here incorporates Tex-Mex influences as well as our own Gulf Coast cuisine, and the result is a fresh, lively menu that features excellent dishes such as crawfish corncakes with lime butter and blue corn-fried oysters with chorizo cream.
The best salad in town at a place best known as a palace to pork, a monument to meat? Yes. And that's because Stella Sola treats its vegetables with as much care and love as it does its many proteins. The Dal Giardino salad — which translates to "from the garden" in Italian — epitomizes this attitude toward showcasing fresh, local produce. Seasonal lettuce and other vegetables, like curling tendrils of watercress, mingle with pickled carrots in a Meyer lemon vinaigrette that sings brightly through the greens. Its crowning glory? A farm-fresh poached egg, whose orange yolk mixes with the vinaigrette to create a pitch-perfect dressing.

Cerca de muchas atracciones. Buen precio para Seattle. El desayuno era bastante bueno. La cama no era estupenda. No es el mejor. Básicamente un lugar para dormir.
Desayuno caliente Complementos de baño Olor de la habitación El estado general del hotel era pobre
Fue una buena ubicación. Los empleados eran chill. Buen servicio en general. No se cobra por el estacionamiento
Ubicación Instalaciones bastante viejas
La habitacion es muy comoda y amplia, hay wifi, y esta a dos cuadras del space needle estaba siendo refaccionado al tiempo que estabamos ocupandolo, y era molesto
Aunque este es un lugar antiguo, está muy bien cuidado. El desayuno estupendo, el personal servicial, excelente ubicación
Esta bien ubicado, el precio no es muy alto, el servicio en general fue muy bueno en relacion al precio
Está muy bien situado, a un paseo del centro. Tuvimos problemas con el personal de recepción, poco profesionales, el personal de servicio si fueron amables. El hotel es muy ruidoso y la piscina cubierta está situada en la misma recepción, por lo que se ve bastante raro.
Hotel sencillo y económico, buen desayuno incluido. La piscina y el jacuzzi siempre estaban llenos y no apetecía mucho meterse. La ubicación no es buena, solo se puede ir a pie al Seattle Centre. El resto en coche o taxi.
Desayuno El martilleo
Las habitaciones están muy limpias y el personal es muy amable para ayudarte en cuaqluier situación. Tuvimos una pequeña situación por la reservación, sin embargo no tuvimos ningún contratiempo.
Desayuno. Ubicación. Cama cómoda Alta ubicación, ocupado
localizacion piscina desayuno camas comodas habitacion silenciosa al menos en la que yo estaba que daba a la parte de detras el ascensor tarda mucho y la habitacion algo justa y falta mesa de trabajo y silla
El personal y la habitación. La cama era excelente Está un poco apartado del downtown aunque cerca del Space Neddle
Está bien situado Necesita reformas. Staff poco amable.
Lo más que nos gustó fue la ubicación del hotel porque pudimos visitar a Space Needle, Pike Market y otros lugares de interés en la ciudad. No.
La limpieza de las habitaciones Un poco de desorganización a la hora del desayuno en razón del número de huespedes
La amplitud y limpieza de la habitación. La situación en la ciudad. La relación calidad/precio Dificultades de aparcamiento del automóvil. El personal de recepción no es especialmente atento con los clientes. El desayuno es frugal ascético y tumultuoso.
Está situado muy cerca del Space Needle de Seattle y de la salida del Seattle Marathon
La amplitud de las habitaciones y su situacion muy centrico
El hotel ha cumplido las expectativas, bien ubicado, habitación grande, precios adecuados, correcto servicio.
Cómo cerca de las atracciones de Seattle Los viejos ascensores
Ubicación Viejo, desvencijado hotel
relación calidad precio buena, atención buena, el hotel es limpio y cumple su objetivo esta todo bien
la situacion no esta incluido los 15 dolares de parking obligatorio que te cobran...
Es muy practico El desayuno prometido esta muy mal surtido y atendido
Nothing Small room
The location of the hotel is great. Great facilities (indoor pool, exercise room), breakfast is included and friendly staff. Parking can be hard to get in the garage when other patrons occupy two parking spots by not properly parking in a spot.
Clean and friendly staff Need more guest laundry facilities
The staff was friendly , the location was awesome. They charged me twice for my room and had issues refunding my money , I probably won't be back because it was such a problem that didn't get solved in a timely manner.
Guest services where nice and helpful. Always greeted us with a smile. Breakfast was great! The staff was on top of things. Room was clean and spacious. Close to the space needle, EMP museum and Chillouly Slow elevator. A .10 mile walk to some restaurants. Really minor things. We had a great stay overall.
Nothing Poor bed. Noisy. TV reception was sporadic at best.strange smell in room. Light in room did not work... electrical cord was cut. Pretty scary overall.
The only good thing about this hotel was the front desk clerk. She should find a job at a better hotel asap. The place was a total dump!!! Toilet seat was falling off.I Had to screw the bolts back in myself to be able to use it. Tv remote was broken. The fridge still had the prior quests old food in it & it was very dirty.I Stayed 2 nights & paid full price for both nights but they didn't change the sheets on the bed, they just remade the bed. The hot water knob on the tub was broken & hardly any hot water came out. The clock was set for the wrong time so I missed the breakfast in the lobby. I have stayed in a lot of hotels & this place has the worst I have ever seen. I would have left but couldn't find another place in the area with such short notice.
Nothing!! I would love a refund!!! Dirty, too expensive, terrible customer service, terrible location, couldn't even use swimming pool.
Great location and clean Advertised newly furnished but furniture was obviously older and some pieces very battered..Also advertised a hot breakfast but only coffee, OJ, mini bagels and mini muffins provided. No fruit or even cereal or toast. The outlets in the room were so over loaded that you had to unplug the frig to watch TV. Bathroom fan was so loud it sounded like a helicopter. Knobs on the heater were stripped so they just spun when you tried to adjust the heat. The elevator was out of service. They were asking that the plastic knives not be thrown away and no liners provided for the ice buckets which made me question if they were sanitary or not. I decided it wasn't worth the risk and didn't risk using either...
The hotel was quiet and in a great location by the Space Needle. Not luxurious but comfortable enough.
great location close to the space needle, nice bathroom close to a big road. Very old rooms
Well, the sheets seemed to be clean, the fridge and microwave were clean and worked well, and the television was decent. The room was dingy, there was a hole in the ceiling above the shower caused by water damage that had been poorly patched with a piece of cardboard, there was a door to an adjoining room that was painted shut but had a hole in it you could see through to the storage area it was being used as, the tub and shower were extremely dingy, the staff was dismissive and, as stated in the review title, surly. The price of the room, while lower than others in the same area, was higher than warranted for the extremely low quality. Additionally, the "breakfast" they serve is mini muffins and tiny bagels so don't think you're getting anything worthwhile, and when they run out of coffee 20 minutes after breakfast starts they don't seem to bother making more. We even told them there was no more coffee left (this was during the posted breakfast hours) and the front desk agent smiled, nodded and said that we should let him know if there was anything we needed. Uh...yeah...coffee. Luckily there was a coffee pot in the room so we had crappy coffee in our room as our consolation prize.
The place is barely habitable. Unclean and dirty.
It was in a very convenient location. The hotel wasn't horrible, but the beds were really hard and uncomfortable and they use the word "continental breakfast" loosely. They only had a few muffins, bagels and apples. No cereal, milk, oatmeal.
The only reason to stay here is because it's a third of the price of anything around it. There is, however a $10 fee for parking that is not reflected in the price. Oh, and it is close to the space needle. I guess that's two reasons. Old. Outdated. Countless cigarette burns in carpet. Construction all around. Bad smell. Hidden parking fees. Uncomfortable beds. Yard sale type furniture. Paint chipping off walls. This list just goes on and on...
It was cheap and easy access to Seattle's downtown. Breakfast was not adequate and ended too early.
The hotel has potential but their was a lot of work that needed to be done. The continental breakfast was a joke!

This became even more apparent after the Virginia Tech Shootings.
Almost every news agency from ABC, to CNN, Fox, AP, CBS, NBC and all others had online and call in surveys. Each poll, no matter the news agency, reported that Americans have finally given the gun control debate another closer look. Be it for their own change of ideology or their own attempt to self preservation in an ever changing social complexity and the war on terror, citizens are now taking note that a man with a gun is better than a cop on the phone.
