Sun Labs Guarantee
Reading Sun Labs Guarantee Has Many AdvantagesWhen the sun comes up in the summer time everyone simply loves it. Unfortunately, it is not too good for humans to bathe in it any longer, something that the folks at Sun Labs guarantee. The sun has simply become too strong and it is just causing damage to your skin if you lie in it too long. Nowadays the tan that it sun used to be able to give people is in a bottle, with a Sun Labs guarantee.
The idea behind the Sun Labs guarantee is that you do not have to spend any time in the boiling hot sun. All you need to do is give the Sun Labs guarantee a bit of thought. Many people dream of having a super dark tan. It makes them feel healthier and look younger.
Something you could try before you go for your first tan is to look around at the people around you to see what their skins look like and ask about the Sun Labs guarantee. You could go for a dark shade, or you could start out with just a bronze glow. The choice is yours, but you would want something that would make you look enhanced and still come with that famed Sun Labs guarantee.
Once you have decided to get the Sun Labs guarantee, all you need to do I go and buy a product. One will notice that there are a number of brands available and you are best advised to go with one that is reputable. They come in a variety of forms such as gels, lotions, mousses and sprays. Decide which one is for you but try to go with the famed Sun Labs guarantee for the first application.
When it comes to tanning without the sun using a self tanning lotion there is a small amount of preparation that goes into it, then the Sun Labs guarantee is as good as gold. A good idea is to use a coarse sponge to get off as much of the dead skin as possible. This is advisable for your tan to last a little longer. Doing this exfoliation will increase the length of your tan to about 5 days.
Once you have given the all over good scrub and are out of the shower, you are advised to get really properly dried as you do not want to get any tanning lotion mixed with water as this may cause streaks. When you are ready to start it is best advised that you start from the feet and proceed upwards towards the face.
One would probably want to do this process just before going to bed at night. This is a very convenient time to do this exercise as the lotion usually takes up to 8 hours to activate. While you sleep your tanning lotion will be doing its work.
Next morning when you wake up you will have a glorious tan, complete with a Sun Labs guarantee. Simply have another shower to get the tan smell off and you can start you day with your new tan. Try not to wear clothes that are too tight fitting as sometimes there can be a slight rub off on the first day. The Sun Labs guarantee offers many other benefits too.

Here are Some Product Reviews
5 out of 5
Very Natural Tan from Evanston, IL Verified Purchaser
I've tried many 'high end' tanning products and this lotion produces by far the most natural tan. At first I was a bit shocked at how dark the lotion was, but in applying it, the color was a plus because it made it obvious when I was putting too much on one area of skin. I've never bothered to write a review before. This product more than deserves praise. I use it all the time now, even in winter for just a light bit of color. Review posted 11/12/2012.

The most 'natural-looking' tan I've ever had out of a bottle! LD from Montgomery, AL Verified Purchaser
'Sun' is a terrific self-tanning lotion. You need only to apply it every other day, using regular moisturizing lotion in between, to keep the nice brown tan. There are no orange hues to your skin. People actually have commented on my nice tan. I recommend it highly to anyone who is looking for healthy color without the sun's harmful rays. Review posted 7/22/2012.

Best self tanner from New York, NY Verified Purchaser
It gives a great color. The downside, though, is that it is very messy and turns your bathroom brown. Review posted 10/8/2007.

The BEST sunless tanner from Ventura, CA Verified Purchaser
I have used this for about 4 years and it is by far the best sunless tanner I have ever used. Beautiful color and doesn't stain your hands. The one and only thing that is a little annoying at times is the fact that sometimes I get a couple of drips from the nozzle. BUT, it's very easy to just dab it into the skin. A very small price to pay for a perfect looking, dark tan. Review posted 6/30/2012.

April Fruels
At the dawn of this glorious April Fool Day (yesterday actually), I had hopes that some fruity court jester would barge into the house and declare Spouse's broken feet (and inability to walk for three months) a joke.
Alas the jester did not come. But broken feet or not, we're having April Fools Day! (As an aside, is it April Fool's, Fools' or Fools?)
The origin of April Fools day is obscure. One theory is the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1582. The Gregorian calendar changed the beginning of the new year from April 1 to January 1. Those who rebelled against the new calendar still celebrated the new year on April 1 and were considered "April Fools".
Most of the western world observes April 1st as a day of practical jokes and pranks. They call it "Hunting The Gawk" in Scotland and the French refer to the day as "Poisson d'Avril" or April Fish. The French would celebrate the day by sending dead fishes to friends, enemies and the like. Those eco-friendly-save-the-planet-and-animals people have ruined all the fun so tricksters now attach paper fishes to the backs of said friends, enemies and the like.
Our April Fools Day began with backward clothing and a ham/ice cream sandwich for breakfast. And the Finale? A Jeff Gordonesque attack on Vera and Stu's home. Think of it. Hundreds of that red-neck Jeff Gordon in every room. Frightening.
"April 1st: This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three-hundred and sixty-four." - Mark Twain

No pranks- we are so boring at this house. But do you want to know what Aaron and I both said when we saw Spouse's feet? "HOLY CRAP!"
We can't believe it! And we need to bring some dinner over just so we can see it for ourselves!
Give our love to Spouse.

For April fools day I pretended to be June Clever. I was nice all day, spouse came home to a gourmet meal and I smiled and said "okay dear" all evening. Today, things are back to normal.

2. I like the new look of your blog. If I call you, can you tell me how to do that?
3. No pranks. I live vicariously through you. Sounds like you haven't let me down.

Stars Shining at Kendal
Posted on November 23, 2011 05:53 PM
As a kid, in fact even as an adult, I looked up to the stars of the climbing world. Then slowly, as you meet them you realise they are actually normal people. It's almost a surprise! Ben Moon is Human!
But some stars remain up there, and even when you get to know them well, there is still just something about them that sets them apart. I can be having a totally normal conversation about something totally normal, but there is something else, a depth of history surrounding us like a mist. Unseen but felt.
Normally Kendal doesn't excite me that much, but this year there were a few people that I really wanted to see, all doing talks, and all good friends. It's strange to think I'd want to see them talk, when I could just sit with them in a pub for a few hours, but hearing their story from amongst a crowd is different, another side. It puts them back up there from a good mate to a star.
A triple hit, I fluked tickets to them all. Andy Kirkpatrick, Lynn Hill, Johnny Dawes. No introductions necessary.
Andy is mountain hero. And talk expert! I wanted to see his show as I've just read his book. The only problem is it makes me realise my talks are totally dull, as his are really funny and fly along at a blistering pace. He covers his book, 'Cold Wars'. Great, though his talk is ALL funny. There is a lot in the book that is pretty deep, the strong bond between his kids and himself and the struggle to justify the risk. I thought he'd go into this, but maybe some things and best just on paper!
Lynn had the house packed out. Her story is just so vast! She picked out the important bits but barely got started. A history lesson on why Lynn is just such an Icon. We know it, but when you see how much she's done….. And at 50 she's still cranking, 8b+ and font 8a!
Johnny was the big one for me. Undoubtedly THE legend in British Climbing, and recognised on the world stage. His talk is pure genius. No plan, a rough idea of what to cover, but the genius is in the way he can wander. Details that should take ages to describe he paints with incredible detail in just a single sentence. Occasionally he read from his book and it added an extra sparkle to the words; when I read them again they seemed to tell a whole new story. Watching Johnny was like when you see a true performer in action, maybe a singer, where the talent shines so brightly it's clear that there is something entirely special. Johnny isn't just a climber that did some hard stuff!

Ticket #1217 (new defect)
Opened 6 years ago
Memory overwritten passing from GHC to GTK using textBufferSetText of the module Graphics.UI.Gtk.Multiline.TextBuffer
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|general (Gtk+, Glib)
What is the problem: Gtk2hs allows passing an arbitrary string to textBufferSetText. This can cause memory to be overwritten, possibly resulting in security vulnerabilities. It is not clear whether the problem is on the Haskell or GTK side, or if the problem is the result of a mismatch between the Haskell computational model and the GTK computational model.
Here is how I found the problem: The IDE "Leksah" crashed my computer's operating system (Ubuntu 10.10) when I tried to load a large file for editing. Eclipse, Jedit, kate, etc failed to load the file returning the message that loading the file will cause a buffer overflow. I recreated the same defect by writing a simple text editor that just loads a file and sends that file to be displayed in a text buffer. On doing so with the large file, the system crashed. Then, to isolate the error, I changed the text editor to only load enough from the file to display; when scrolled to the bottom, more of the file was loaded into the buffer. On saving, I changed the functionality to save the file back to the disk in fixed length chunks (strictly, though it is not clear there is any effect here). Indeed, this text editor could open, edit, and save the very large text file that crashed the computer on the first attempts, and which Jedit and Eclipse refused to open. This suggests that the problem is not in Haskell, but either in the way Haskell connects to GTK or in the way GTK accepts input to textBufferSetText. Perhaps this memory overflow can be attributed to the way Haskell treats lists and the way C treats strings are mismatched.
Possible Solutions: Put a check on functions that send data from Haskell control to GTK control. Make sure they meet predetermined size restrictions. Alternatively, urge GTK to put checks on functions they can accept. Or urge GTK to implement "/usr/bin/less"-style string display functionality; i.e. only send to the display exactly what is needed, regardless of what is "loaded."
I am willing to help out in any way that I can. Please feel free to ask me to do whatever is needed.

September 26, 2005
Chairman Buyer, Chairman Brown, Chairman Miller and members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for providing the Department of Veterans Affairs this opportunity to discuss our valued partnership with the Medical University of South Carolina. Accompanying me this morning are Mr. William A. Mountcastle, Director of the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and Mr. Michael Moreland, Director of the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is fully committed to providing veterans with the best health care available. The results of that commitment have been reported in several major medical journals and in the media as VA is proudly setting the standard of care in many areas. Copies of many of the articles were provided to the members of this committee following the full committee hearing on September 14, 2005. VA has also received national recognition, and the recognition of this Committee, for our efforts during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast region.
The Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center (VAMC) in Charleston serves over 37,000 veterans from the coastal South Carolina and Georgia area. The outstanding quality of care delivered at the Charleston VAMC is evident through their continued success on VA's national clinical performance measures along with the assessment by the Joint Commission for the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) that their delivery of key services exceeds that of most JCAHO approved health care providers.
Like many Veterans Affairs medical centers, the Charleston VAMC has a very close relationship with its affiliate. Successful collaborative sharing between the VA and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has been going on for many years. This collaborative relationship recently included the signing of an Enhanced Use Lease which allowed MUSC to begin construction on their Phase I facility on campus. As the planning for MUSC's other major construction projects unfolds, there may be additional opportunities to partner in the care of the South Carolina's veterans as well as some servicemembers and beneficiaries of the Department of Defense. The Charleston VAMC will purchase over $17 million in specialty services from MUSC in 2005, including $4.5 million for radiation therapy, $3.6 million for resident staff, over $687,000 for cardiothoracic surgery services and over $4 million of various other services. Also, this beautiful shared research building we are in for this hearing is a prime example of the collaboration between MUSC and VA.
In late August 2005, the Veterans Health Administration charged a national group to assist in this continued review. Mr. Michael Moreland, Director of the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System and a member of VHA's national finance council, was asked to co-chair a Collaborative Opportunities Steering Group (COSG) with Raymond Greenberg, MD, PhD, President of MUSC.
The COSG group has begun its work and is developing opportunities for future collaboration in the short and long term. As mentioned above, there is significant collaboration and sharing currently between MUSC and VAMC Charleston.
The group is reviewing opportunities for enhanced collaboration that can occur in the short term, perhaps for inclusion in the MUSC's current construction, and in the longer term to evaluate the cost and benefit of constructing a new VA medical center. All options must be explored before taxpayer dollars are committed to any major construction project. Should the steering group develop proposals to embark on a joint construction project at Charleston, it will also have to be in concert with VA's CARES decisions and the Department's long-range construction goals as stated in the VA 5-Year Capital Plan. The potentially heavy financial impact of Hurricane Katrina on VA facilities and available funding must also be taken into account.
While VA is optimistic about the potential for a federal-state model, we are also realistic enough to know that we must keep an open mind and explore all options for our veterans before committing scarce taxpayer dollars. Secretary Nicholson's ultimate decision point will be whether a proposal benefits veterans and is fiscally responsible. We do not intend to pre-judge the results of the feasibility studies. Any recommendation to embark on a joint construction project at Charleston must be in concert with the CARES decisions and the Department's long-range construction goals. In other words, it must make good sense fiscally and from a business aspect. VA owes that to all veterans, including the many veterans in South Carolina. Also, we feel that the Department of Defense (DoD) should be considered in any plans for a shared facility. The President's Management Agenda has placed a strong emphasis on VA-DoD sharing and our staff has been directed to identify every opportunity for joint healthcare operations with the various components of DoD.
Whatever options the group puts forward, we are confident that by continuing to work together to assure a mutually beneficial plan, VA can enhance care to veterans while building on its collaborative relationship with the Medical University of South Carolina.
Mr. Chairman, this concludes my statement. My colleagues and I will be happy to answer any questions that you or other members of the Subcommittee might have.

Adidas & VICE Present: Chinatown Soccer Club - Part 1
Meet the Chinatown Soccer Club, one of the most original and inspirational football clubs around. Founded back in 2002 after adidas invited a bunch of downtown crews and personalities to take part in the first installment of the annual Fanatic soccer tournament, the CSC is one part soccer crew and one part creative collective.
Find Football t-shirts at footytees.com - New shirts every week
In the early days there was just a simple email list to call games but over time, the CSC started to grow, embracing friends and acquaintances from the downtown creative community. Nowadays, the club is also a platform by which its members are able to collaborate and express themselves creatively via self-published photo books, a haphazard clothing line as well as a limited run of soccer scarves and stickers.
In Part 1, we catch up with four of the CSC's longstanding members: Coach Gerhard Stochl, Justin Fines, Dan Funderburgh and Peter Sutherland. We hear them talk about their art, passion for the sport, and most importantly their friendship, all of which help make the club what it is today.

And I understand that this production is not going to be the full-on opera, with dialog replacing the recitative and a Broadway singer (the wonderful Audra McDonald) starring as Bess. One of the great things about the work is the way it has survived various incarnations and the success many of the "numbers" have had as pop and jazz standards (best being, I think, Nina Simone's "I Love You, Porgy")

But a recent NYT story makes me verrry nervous, especially this quote from playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, tasked with revising the opera for this production. She says, "if [Gershwin] had lived longer he would have gone back to the story of 'Porgy and Bess' and made changes, including to the ending." She's going to change the ending? The ending is the BEST: Porgy, freed from jail, returns to Catfish Row only to find Bess has run off to New York with that no-good Sportin' Life. "Bring me my goat!" he commands, referring to the goat-driven cart he uses to get around (although not, apparently, in this production; he'll use a cane instead). And off he heads to New York, leading the chorus in the rousing "Oh Lord, I'm on my way." What is Parks going to do instead, send Bess to rehab? This is kind of like saying that had E.B.

Grady for an article in the Atlantic. But whether there were 30,000 YA novels published in 2009 (unlikely, as Harold demonstrates) or 8,000 (as Harold estimates), can we all agree that there are too many? My own recent research into this question revealed that while the number of hardcover books published for children and teens in 2010 (about 4500) was just 25% higher than the number published in 1998, the percentage of those books that were novels almost doubled, from 18% to 33%. (I did not differentiate middle-grade and YA, but I'll try to recrunch and get back to you.)

On a related note, have you ever noticed how much the menfolk of the children's book biz love to count things? Ask Peter Sieruta or Jonathan Hunt or Ray Barber about what-won-what-when-and-how-many-times and prepare to be amazed. Maybe Travis Jonker should design some Newbery-Caldecott trading cards, complete with stats on the backs.Roger Suttonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-21092584788644721462011-08-02T11:36:00.000-04:002011-08-02T11:36:38.257-04:00Press hereI was just checking some links for the forthcoming issue of Notes from the Horn Book and found this beautiful thing.Roger Suttonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-41587620105554392222011-08-02T10:16:00.000-04:002011-08-02T10:16:47.215-04:00ExpectationsRichard and I have been watching MI-5 (The Show Originally Known as Spooks) via Netflix. Andrew Thorne warned me not to get too attached to any of the characters, and I'm seeing why, as the show seems liable to bump off anyone at any time, either by death or banishment to a foreign country. It's a very different experience from watching any high-stakes American show, in which any departure (lethal or otherwise) of a main character is scheduled for Sweeps Week or the season finale, and is accompanied by much drum-banging in advance. (Of course, this might have happened in the U.K. when the shows were originally broadcast--does anyone know?)

When i was speaking at the Simmons Institute this past weekend, somebody asked me if the broader parameters for YA (age range, subject, sheer numbers) meant that our expectations of the genre had become more uncertain. My first thought was that we have an awful lot of main characters dying in the first chapter, but since they go on to narrate from The Beyond it's not all that disturbing. But are we thrown for more loops? Despite the ever-greater perils into which they are thrown, can we still count on YA heroes to stick around for the finale? Who's done a body count?

Frankly, I'm up for any book which doesn't make me say, "oh, it's another one of those."Roger Suttonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-47517342134241263982011-07-26T10:24:00.000-04:002011-07-26T10:24:55.801-04:00Word orderThe Boston Globe's thumbnail review for Captain America says the movie "packs a powerful, but predictable, patriotic punch." How is that different from saying that it "packs a predictable, but powerful, patriotic punch?"

I'm curious about which construction you all think is the more positive, because this is a trick reviewers use all the time, choosing between

a powerful, but predictable, patriotic punch
a predictable, but powerful, patriotic punch
a powerful but predictable patriotic punch
a predictable but powerful patriotic punch
a powerful--but predictable--patriotic punch
a predictable--but powerful--patriotic punch

to hedge an opinion or (more frequently in our circles) to "say something nice" even when you don't feel particularly enthusiastic. But I'm not sure readers agree about which placement does what. I think that the second adjective generally has more of an impact than the first, but you could argue that the phrase set off by commas will be read more parenthetically and thus more readily dismissed. And if you don't use the commas, do the adjectives become equal?Roger Suttonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-28594329764311579902011-07-25T12:21:00.000-04:002011-07-25T12:21:32.615-04:00September/October starred reviewsThe following books will receive starred reviews in the September/October issue of the Horn Book Magazine.

Stanley YelnatsThis Guardian article about authors famous for the wrong book has me turning children's authors and titles over in my head. I do think Paula Fox's best book is One-Eyed Cat, not The Slave Dancer or Desperate Characters. I like Lois Lowry's Autumn Street more than The Giver, and Hilary McKay's The Exiles has it all over her books about the Cassons. In wake of my re-immersion in "Laura World" courtesy of Wendy McClure, I'm going with The Long Winter over any of the Wilder books with Little in the title.

In the latter, BB also has a good observation for those who think libraries can do without children's coordinators: "library work with children loses a spokesperson on the inside, and a representative to the outside: politically nullifying its two bases of support.

It was kind of neat to talk to Paolo in New Orleans, which, in Ship Breaker, is underwater. He said he wasn't nervous. The Printz Award winner and I discussed how far away the future of his book actually was, a fact left undetermined for readers to sort out for themselves. (Some people like their dystopias, far, far away; others like to believe they could occur tomorrow.)

I asked Paolo his thoughts about the infamous Wall Street Journal article and was happy that the first thing out of his mouth was not "YA Saves" but "that writer owes Sherman Alexie an apology." Amen--Megan Cox Gurdon took a gratuitous swipe at The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian while skirting around the issue of whether she had read it or not. Paolo agreed with Alexie (and me) that "books should give you a boner." (No, not THAT kind. Necessarily.)

Congratulations, Paolo! I think Mike Printz would have loved Ship Breaker--he liked books that were rough and tough. Fans will be pleased to know that a book featuring the half-man Tool is forthcoming.Roger Suttonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-88955878871757661882011-07-07T10:25:00.001-04:002011-07-07T12:17:05.391-04:00Five Questions for Sy Montgomery and Nic Bishop

Hee hee, Nic is afraid of ticKs. I think someone should write a picture book, A Tick for Nic. I told our Sibert Medalists that I would speak on their behalf to The Grobster, aka Betsy Groban, publisher of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Children's Books, about funding the intrepid pair for a trip to the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, from whence they will return with a terrific book about squids and penguins. Or maybe that's two books. And I'm also happy to inform you that both Sy and Nic think (some) animals can love us back.

Congratulations, you two, and safe travels.Roger Suttonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-11040555538410574322011-07-06T14:00:00.000-04:002011-07-06T14:00:41.737-04:00Five Questions for Brian Selznick

Brian has been a busy boy--not only is his Wonderstruck coming out this fall (I'm reviewing it for the September Horn Book) but Martin Scorsese's film of The Invention of Hugo Cabret will be out before Christmas. (In color AND 3-D, obviously intent on making miracles of a very different kind.)

I asked Brian if he had any plans for a little book (Wonderstruck being about a hundred pages longer than Hugo) and heavy-lifters will be happy he said "no, not really." But fans of his picture-book bios with Pam Muñoz Ryan will be happy to hear that the two are going to be working together again.

I also asked him if the boys in Wonderstruck were as, er, happy, as I thought they were and he didn't say yes, he didn't say no--but I'll save further speculation for my review, which I should be writing RIGHT NOW.Roger Suttonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-60328949523092783662011-07-05T11:53:00.000-04:002011-07-05T11:53:09.470-04:00Five Questions for Rita Williams-Garcia

Poor Rita--three times in PUBLIC I made her join me in singing the first line of "It Was Right on the Tip of My Tongue (and I Forgot to Say I Love You)" by Brenda and the Tabulations, a group referenced in One Crazy Summer. Rita, I promise I will learn the rest of the song, and I'm working on "Dry Your Eyes," too.

Fans will be pleased to know there will be another book about Delphine, but not just yet--Rita is working on a novel about virtual reality. I like it when writers step out of their boxes, even when it's just to write about mice.

Rita is the same age as I (thus our overlapping mental jukeboxes), and I asked her what she thought was the most important lesson of the 1960s. She said that the 60s made everyone make choices--the status quo was so indeterminate that you had to find your own way. I'm sure glad she found her way to writing.

Thanks for stopping by, Rita--and thanks to to HarperCollins, who threw a swell dinner for Rita's Scott O'Dell win. Unfortunately, Elizabeth Hall, Odell's widow and the award's administrator, was defeated by the weather and could not join us, but I had a fine time singing (again) with Rita, meeting her daughter, and spending some time with her sworn sister, Rosemary Brosnan.Roger Suttonhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-67939246660034694472011-07-04T14:52:00.000-04:002011-07-04T14:52:09.257-04:00Five Questions for Bryan Collier

It was clear from the start of our interview that Bryan Collier sees Dave the Potter from the point of view of one artist to another--their eras were different, their circumstances, their mediums, but what compelled Bryan was the (open) question of just what caused Dave to create his pots and--even more mysteriously--inscribe poetry into their clay. Why do people make art? More prosaically, Bryan also told me how he found a model who looked like his vision of Dave, whose likeness remains unknown. Congrats to Bryan Collier on his Coretta Scott King Award and Caldecott Honor; agent Marcia Wernick profiles him here.Roger Suttonhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-16085574.post-61655173133318764252011-07-03T10:53:00.000-04:002011-07-03T10:53:31.891-04:00Five Questions for Tomie dePaola

At last! I have loved Tomie's books since being a children's librarian (even thirty years ago, he seemed to have picture books about everything), and we've worked together on some articles and two Horn Book covers, but we had never met. He looks like he drew himself. And a man of firm opinions: his favorite own book? Nana Upstairs and Nana Downstairs. Favorite fellow Wilder winner? Ashley Bryan. Digital future? Picture books will never go away. And--in another self-interested question--he said he'd love to illustrate a book of opera plots, and with his editor Nancy Paulsen sitting in the front row, I told him I wanted to write it. Tomie's old friend Barbara Elleman introduces him here.

Great to finally meet you, Tomie!Roger Suttonhttp://email@example.com

Cole: Biographical Essay
The merry and sad nights and days of the greatest lyricist-composer of them all suffuse the pages of this adoring tribute to Cole Porter . . . just when Kiss Me Kate has reconquered Broadway. Overlook's re-publication of Cole, very much in demand by Cole fans and musical theater buffs alike, marks the return to print of a classic chronicle of a life, a personality, and an era. The lyrics of nearly two hundred songs, among them such favorites as "Love for Sale," "I Love Paris," and "Begin the Beguine," featured alongside music sheets, private letters, examples of works in progress in Cole's own hand, and hundreds of pictures from the private albums of Linda and Cole Porter, combine in a marvelous tapestry to capture Cole's irrepressible spirit. Glimpses of Cole and his friends dazzling each other and the world at the Palazzo Rezzonico or on the beach at Antibes, of productions of Gay Divorce, The New Yorkers, and You Never Know, of Monty, No l, Elsa, Tallulah, Gerald, and Sara, and of Ethel Merman, Bert Lahr, Bea Lillie, Fred Astaire, Gertrude Lawrence, Victor Moore, Rita Hayworth, and Danny Kaye return us to the decadent days. A graceful and revealing biographical essay by the late and incomparable Brendan Gill sets the tone for a book as stylish, as saucy, as self-confident, and as beguiling as the era it recreates.

Similar Species
Among the Cecropia ants, A. coeruleipennis is most easily confused with A. alfari and A. ovaticeps. The presence of tibial setae, the distinctive shape of the mesonotum, and the 6,4 palpal formula will separate A. coeruleipennis from A. alfari and A. ovaticeps.
Natural History
The taxonomy and biology of A. coeruleipennis is reviewed in Longino (1989b, 1991a, b). See also general treatment of the Cecropia-Azteca association in Costa Rica.
Azteca coeruleipennis is an obligate inhabitant of Cecropia trees (Skwarra 1934; Wheeler 1942; Longino 1989). Founding queens are found solely in Cecropia saplings, and large colonies occur in mature Cecropia trees. In Costa Rica, A. coeruleipennis is a common element of the Cecropia-inhabiting ant fauna in dry forest habitats, and exhibits abrupt declines at habitat boundaries (Longino, 1989). It occurs throughout the Guanacaste lowlands south to the central valley and adjacent Pacific coastal areas. Near Monteverde, it is common along the road from the PanAmerican highway and in the San Luis valley, abruptly dropping out at about 900m elevation. In many dry forest areas the only Cecropia species is C. peltata, hence this is the host tree species in which I have most often seen A. coeruleipennis. I have twice encountered colonies in mature C. obtusifolia trees, and I have twice encountered founding queens in C. insignis saplings less than 2m tall.
Pleometrotic founding is rare: I have 22 records of lone foundresses from sapling internodes, and 1 record of 4 foundresses together in an internode.
Mature colonies have a dispersed colony structure. There is no central carton nest. Brood and any alate sexuals are in branch tips. Older parts of the tree are gradually abandoned, and internal passages are not maintained among occupied branches. When a tree is molested bright yellow workers of rather uniform small size issue forth and descend the trunk, where they aggressively attack the intruder (Longino 1991a).
Azteca coeruleipennis may be a tropical dry forest specialist, with adaptations for tolerating prolonged drought. During the dry season, leafy branch tips are perforated by one or two active entrances, often 10 or more internodes back from the terminal sheathing stipule. In contrast, other Azteca species typically maintain five or more active entrances in the terminal 10 internodes (pers. obs.). Occupied branch sections which contain alate queens have active entrances which are only large enough for workers. Larger tunnels are excavated in the internode walls, but these end blindly within a millimeter of surface, as though the final perforation is suspended until wet season and/or the time of flight of new queens. Reduction of the number and size of entrances may be an adaptation for reducing water loss (Longino 1991a).
Prior to this report I had never investigated palpal formula in Azteca. It was surprising to discover that A. coeruleipennis had a palpal formula of 6,4, while all other Cecropia ants have 5,3. A palpal formula of 6,4 is probably plesiomorphic in the genus, which implies that A. coeruleipennis might be a very old Cecropia ant and sister to all the other Cecropia ants. Perhaps this species has survived the arrival of newer Cecropia ants by being a dry-forest specialist, a habitat that is marginal for Cecropia trees.

Shelley George Sophie Bridesmaid Dress
It's always a challenge to find a dress style that looks great on all of your bridesmaids but this dress will. Slightly flared skirt especially is great for all body types. Each strapless knee-length dress is made of taffeta in your choice of colors. Size 2 to 18. PS -- We had a similar dress at our wedding and just put a red petticoate underneath which pouffed it out a little and added a little bit of rockabilly color.
Tea length strapless duchess dress with inverted pleats at natural waist. Sash and hem always match. Pockets at side seams in skirt.Added 8 Years Ago from Laptopbride

The company's flagship stores in Melbourne and Sydney are David Jones's most valuable asset in a time when profit growth is going backwards due to rising costs and weak sales.
If David Jones were to receive a whiff of genuine takeover interest you can bet it would be for the company's real estate rather than its brand. Investors have been pressuring chief executive
Announcing a near 40 per cent fall in full-year profit, as expected, the retailer also said today it had appointed property consultant Cushman & Wakefield to look at the market value and potential development opportunities for the four properties.
David Jones owns its two flagship stores in Melbourne's Bourke St and properties in Sydney's Elizabeth and Market streets. David Jones valued its freehold land and buildings at $462.5 million in its July 2011 accounts.
Cushman & Wakefield concluded the four buildings have a potential value of $612 million based on an aggregate implied rental of $39 million per annum. This is significantly below some analyst forecasts which have ranged from $500 million to $1 billion.
David Jones is now conducting a detailed review on what it could do with the stores. It has a range of options from a full sale to operating its existing stores with less floor space. The downside in offloading its most valuable asset would be the savings it makes as owner-occupier.
There is no doubt the flagship stores has been at the heart of the David Jones story for decades but as it focuses on setting up an on-line business and investing in smaller niche stores the will become less relevant over time.
Myer has already gone down the same path with private equity owner TPG selling off the properties and leasing them back after it acquired the company in 2006.
The David Jones blocks are prime real estate which would not struggle to find a buyer. it would not be the first time the retailer has looked at offloading its real estate. In 2000 it sold a ground lease of its Sydney and Melbourne properties but bought them back in 2006.
The retailer's full-year results were not spectacular and largely in line with expectations. While the company says it is making good progress against its strategic plan there was little in the result to give shareholders any joy. Like Myer, David Jones is not providing earnings guidance for the current year except to say there has been an improvement in trading into the current quarter.

The unique PetSafe Contain N Train system combines an electric dog fence and remote trainer into one convenient product. Modeled after the best-selling PetSafe Ultra-Smart In-Ground Fence, the Contain N Train takes it one step further by adding the remote training option. The included remote allows you to correct one or two dogs from a distance using the same logic as the fence – a warning beep and/or electrical stimulation. While remote training is useful for many people trying to correct problem behavior or teach basic obedience, care must be taken to conduct proper training on both the fence and the remote separately. The extra remote training feature translates to a bigger, heavier collar (50% larger than the UltraSmart without the training feature) and there are no individual correction settings so all dogs will receive the same correction.
500 ft. of 20-gauge boundary wire (1/3 acre)
100 ft. of 20-gauge twisted wire
Lightening Protection
50 Boundary Flags
2 Waterproof Wire Splices
Transmitter Control Box
1 Receiver Collar
1 Training Remote
Training DVD & Instruction Manual
Rechargeable: A very appealing feature in any system is a rechargeable collar battery. The battery is lithium-ion and lasts about a month on a charge in dog fence only mode but only three days in remote training mode. The collar charges on the included cradle and a full charge takes about 2 hours.
Fit-Test: The collar automatically confirms that it is properly fitted when you remove it form the charging cradle and put it on the dog. The Ready-Test feature helps you get the collar on right every time. Ill-fitting collars are a leading cause of training problems.
Waterproof: The collar has no external buttons, is very well made and well put together. The waterproofing is effective and overall the collar is very durable. The band is plastic with buckle closure. The plastic is strong, long lasting, and also easy to clean and keep free from odors.
Mode Indicator: An LED light to let you know that the collar is in remote training mode.
Includes Regular & Long Prongs: Long, short, and training prongs are included with this system. The long and short are active prongs whereas the training set do not conduct corrections so they are perfect for the beginning stages of training. The kit also includes a tool for changing the prongs.
Bigger Collar Unit: Because of the extra remote training feature the collar is a bit bulkier and not suitable for dogs under 20lbs.
Short Battery Life In Training Mode: In containment-only mode the battery life is as long as any other good rechargeable system on the market. However, the battery is rapidly depleted in remote training mode - draining the battery in about 3 days.
No Individual Controls: There are no setting controls on the collar. While this adds to the durability and waterproofing it also means that all dogs on the system must use the same settings.
Low Tone Volume: The waterproofing impedes the warning tone audibility for humans. The high-pitched sound is perfectly audible to the dog but a bit too muffled for us humans to clearly hear during the important first steps of training on a dog fence system.
9 Correction Levels + Tone-Only: The training remote offers 9 levels of static correction as well as tone only. The correction level is adjusted using up and down arrow buttons and the level you are using is displayed on the LCD screen.
2 Dog Capacity: While the Contain N Train fence can accomodate an unlimited number of dogs, the remote training feature is available to two dogs simultaneously. The transmitter can be set to correct each dog individually or both at the same time.
Can Be Confusing: We do not recommend training your dog on the fence and remote at the same time. To avoid confusion that would undermine your training, let your dog successfully use the fence only for at least 3 months before introducing the remote training feature. Just like the fence, the remote trainer requires dedicated training for it to be successful.
Short Range: Although PetSafe claims a 150 yard range on the remote trainer, we've found it to be closer to 50 yards, after which it gets pretty unreliable. This short range is ok for in-yard training but not sufficient for off-leash work in a public space or for sporting dogs.
25 Acre Capacity: The system can handle up to 25 acres (or 5,000 linear ft. of boundary wire). A toggle switch allows you to set the fence transmission strength for small installations (under 1 acre) or large installations (over 1 acre).
Signal Field Width: Adjust the width of the boundary zone (the area where the dog receives a warning and correction) from a few inches to over 10 ft.
Battery Backup: The system can run for about 3 days on 8 AAA batteries in the case of a main power failure. There is a toggle switch to choose backup power.
Lightening Protection: The Contain N Train, like the PetSafe UltraSmart includes external surge protection to keep your fence transmtter safe from an electrical surge on the main or stemming from a lightening strike near the dog fence wire.
System-Wide Correction: The system has 3 progressive correction levels (within each level the correction gets stronger if the dog continues into the boundary zone). All collars on the system are subject to the same correction level.
Limited Lifetime: This essentially means a 1 year full warranty followed by a lifetime of fixed-rate repairs. The rate will vary based on the part that needs fixing.

Contain n train Review by jo
Quality Value Price
I could not go without giving Flexpetz. com a gigantic thumbs up for this top of the line fence system and all of its features. I continue to become more and more impressed with the capabilities of this in-ground fence. The only thing I had a hard time with was the purchase price but as I use this great fence everyday I see how much of a good decision it really was to buy use and enjoy the security of a product that has absolutely no flaws.

Great upgrade Review by Sarah
Quality Value Price
I already had an in-ground fence installed when I found out about Flex Petz and the Ultra Smart system. I was eager to try it out since the one I had was no longer keeping my dogs on the inside but instead allowing them outside of the boundaries and keeping them out. I think it goes without saying, That one is history. I now sit back in relaxation and I have not one complaint about this clearly superior fence system. Set up was a breeze and I get more coverage than I did before, about 10 more acres to be exact. I was covered up to 15 acres and that was in the opposite direction of the way it was supposed to work, that was with with the old one so of course I am loving the upgrade to 25 acres that work without a hitch. I see now just how much my old fence sucked and how great the Ultra Smart in-ground fence really is. I think if you need an in-ground fence this is the one to try! Especially love the hand held remote feature...this was actually one of the main reasons I choose this system. (Posted on 12/18/2012)
They were wrong! Review by DD
Quality Value Price
To be honest I had my suspicions about getting an in-ground fence. I have been told by many people before to stay away from it but I never did take to the opinions of others so I decided to get one for my two dogs. I expected to be disappointed to a small degree but before I paid for my system I looked over the features. The collar is rechargeable, it's also waterproof and has a life time limited manufacturers warranty. The system itself has a back up battery a hand held digital remote and can span upto 30 acres. That was enough for me not to mention the rest of the features of both the collar and system. Looking at things the only issue was the price. I did buy it and it does work great. I enjoy more so than the system itself the fact that everyone I talked to about it said it would never work! They could not have been more wrong. Thank you Flex Petz.com.

Perfection! Review by Ricka
Quality Value Price
After looking around the web to find a good dog fence for about five hours, I was getting tired. I did not want to sit at the computer for the amount of time that I did but every time I thought I saw something I liked it was either overpriced or over-valued and I was a bit too picky with my money to just buy anything. So on to the next one I thought. I had already spent way too long looking for something that I was beginning to think I would never find. So, I joined a forum where pet lovers go to talk about pets. I asked a few people about dog fencing and the first few replies were suggesting fences I had seen and did not want to spend the money for. I got three more replies. All but one suggested the same thing, products in which I previously heard about. Out of those three one suggested I visit Flex petz.com so I gave it a shot. I looked through the products on the site and about half way through the first page I began to see some things I liked. eventually after seeing what all they had to offer I settled on the Pet Safe Contain+Train
in-ground fence. Amongst all the great features was an incredible price and once everything was setup I was blown away by the quality. I purchased additional collars and now have all six of my dogs on this one system. I can say without a doubt flex petz .com is the leader in dog fencing and with customer service this good they are far head of the pack!

Do you sell extra collars for this system? If you do how much?
I'm sorry. Those collars are not made any longer, as the UltraSmart was an Innotek product, before PetSafe purchased the company and did not continue to manufacture the system.
I'm sorry.

Cristiano reports for intensive training session on day off
The forward is pushing hard to return against Bayern Munich. Sergio Ramos did ball work, Casemiro worked on his fitness and Marcelo trained separately.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos reported for training on Sunday, despite the squad being given a day off by coach Carlo Ancelotti. Marcelo and Casemiro were also involved in the session on the pitches at Valdebebas, Real Madrid's training complex.
The Portugal international went through a high-intensity individual training session, doing physical exercises and ball work. Meanwhile, Ramos and Casemiro worked on their physical fitness, the defender also training with ball at feet. Marcelo went through his paces separately, while Pepe and Álvaro Arbeloa trained indoors.
All the indications are that Cristiano is racing against the clock to make Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich, although he was unsure over his chances when speaking in Valencia in midweek. Whether or not the player himself feels fit will be the decisive factor; however, there are still three days remaining.

Have Cat Questions? Ask a Cat Vet Online.
This is often due to a urinary tract infection. The bacteria causes inflammation in the bladder, which in turn causes bleeding and can be seen as either brown or red depending on how concentrated the urine is.
A urinary tract infection can often easily be treated with a round of antibiotics, but it is not something to put off treating for too long, as it is very uncomfortable for the cat and can eventually lead to either kidney infections or chronic cystitis.
Your vet will want to check a fresh urine sample to determine which type of bacteria is causing this and if crystals or casts are present, then choose the proper antibiotic for curing.
Best of luck, and let me know if I can help further.
You're welcome, and hope this clears up quickly.

The British ship Eastern Sakura was docked at the old Everett shipyard site as Everett longshoremen loaded logs aboard the vessel using two cranes on the dock. The longshoreman, aiming for a world record, hoped to load five million board feet of logs during the next 10 to 14 days.

Everett Mutual Savings Bank was having an open house Jan. 4, 5 and 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The main office was downtown. Other branches were Everett-Madison, Everett-Silver Lake, Lake Stevens, Marysville, Arlington, Snohomish and Monroe.
Among the Everett area streets noted on the Traffic Tip Sheet were S. Third Avenue where a widening was taking place, Fourth Avenue W. north of Mariner High School for repaving, and 112th near Silver Lake where both widening and repaving were taking place.

I think you're idea with the bridging mode is very good... Double NAT may influence your VOIP stuff
in a way, you don't want it to be influenced... ;) So, if there's a possibility, put the 3Com thing
in bridging mode and use it as some kind of PPPoA modem and let m0n0wall manage the authentication

Improving performance of Linux on ARM
Assembly Line
"maddog" looks at some of Linaro's efforts to improve GNU/Linux performance on ARM architectures.
For the past several months, I have been working with Linaro [1], an association of companies who want to see GNU/Linux working well on ARM architectures. Although ARM Holdings designs the ARM architecture chips, various other companies manufacture the CPUs, GPUs, and SoCs (Systems on a Chip) from ARM's licensed designs. Some of these companies use these manufactured units in their own products, and some sell the manufactured units to other companies and to the general public. For the past couple of years, ARM has been working on a 64-bit chip, and their licensees are getting close to having ARM 64-bit hardware ready.
One of the ARM engineers determined that 1,400 different source code modules in either Ubuntu or Fedora (or both) have assembly language in the code. This is not to say that the assembly language (or lack of it) will stop the module from working on the ARM64 system, because there may be higher level fallback code (e.g., code written in C) that will take over and be compiled for the missing ARM64 assembly language. However, the modules have not been tested and verified either on actual hardware or on the emulators for the ARM64 architecture that currently exist. Thus, Linaro decided to enlist the community in porting some of these modules and has created a contest with prizes for those people who help out [2].
The engineers also noticed that a lot of the code containing assembly language was fairly old. It was designed in an age when systems had a single CPU; CPUs were much slower, with a single core; memory was measured in megabytes, not gigabytes; Ethernet was 10Mbps, not 1,000Mbps; and the GNU compilers were not as good at optimization as commercial compilers. Therefore, people wrote assembler for the tightest, fastest parts of the system.
If those programs were written today, however, they might have a lot less assembly language, and the code would be more portable. Thus, the contest was expanded to include improving the performance of these modules and (perhaps) eliminating some of the old assembly language where it made sense.
Embedded systems exemplify how our perspective of "performance" has changed over time, in that the size of the memory footprint is often a measure of performance, with a small footprint providing savings in the manufacturing process. Extended battery life, achieved by allowing parts of the system to be turned off after the application is finished, also represents an improvement in performance. In large server farms, performance is often measured in electricity savings, savings on cooling, or in reduction of equipment purchases and floor space.
In the early years of my programming career, my job was not to write new functionality but to get other people's programs to work "better." My manager told me that if I could not get the application to work in half the time, not to bother with it. In almost every case, I could make an application run not only in half the time, but often five to 10 times faster. It was a very satisfying job, so it has been interesting to start investigating new techniques for profiling code, finding the bottlenecks, and seeing new performance improvements and efficiencies that can be made since I did this work 30 years ago.
At the same time, I am working with some very small systems that have some really interesting features. The use of GPUs for computation, digital signal processing chips, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) were all conceptual years ago, but they were cost and space prohibitive. These concepts now have become not only feasible but even competitive in price/performance with other, more "mainstream" types of circuitry.
A board from a company called Adapteva not only has a SoC with a two-core ARM processor, FPGA, and digital signal processing chips, it also has a 16- or 64-core CPU. All of this, plus some system memory and USB ports, comes on a board in the US$ 100-150 price range [3]. The opportunity to learn about these architectures has now become practical.
Recently some people attracted a lot of attention by building a "supercomputer" out of a Raspberry Pi, a single-core system that does not invite the type of programming that might occur in a real HPC system. In an HPC system, each board can have several CPUs or several cores in a single CPU and use OpenMP in conjunction with MPI and other heterogeneous computing environments. Substituting computers such as the Banana Pi [4] or ODROID-U3 [5] would create a higher performing "supercomputer" at a reasonable increase in price and would afford a more realistic mix of programming styles.
I encourage readers to sign up for Linaro's contest and help GNU/Linux be the best that it can be.

[Identification of item], in the Viscountess Emily Anne Beaufort Smyth Strangford Journal, 1859-1860, David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University.
Processed by: Rubenstein Library Staff
Encoded by: Noah Huffman, July 2011
Emily Anne Beaufort Smyth Strangford was an author of travel books on the Near East. She married 8th Viscount Strangford in 1862.
Chiefly a journal of 141 pages (1859 Apr. 10-1860 July 7) describing a trip to Turkey and Lebanon, Apr.-Sept. 1859, and to Greece, May-July 1860. Beginning in Smyrna, Viscountess Strangford travelled to Rhodes, Mersin, Tripoli, Beirut, Baalbek, Athens, Attica, Pentelicus, Constantinople, and Belgrade. She described the locales, social life and customs of the Lebanese, a Druze wedding, and fighting between the Druzes and Christians. Included are drawings and other sheets laid in, including one in French, possibly by Marius Fontane. Also includes an albumen print of Viscountess Strangford.
