Center for Innovative Finance Support
Federal Highway Administration
Third Part of a Webinar Series on Road Pricing Outreach
Presentation Outline

14 bridges financed with bonds and paid for with tolls from the 1930's through the 1980's, including:
Tacoma Narrows Bridge
SR 167 HOT lanes
Designed to reduce congestion through the "Four T's":
Awarded $154.5 million to assist WSDOT, Puget Sound Regional Council and King County in applying these innovative approaches to reduce congestion in the 520 corridor in Western Washington.
The 520 Tolling Implementation Committee spent much of 2008 engaging community members and local leaders in the question:
How can tolls work for people who use 520, nearby communities, and taxpayers?
The committee submitted its findings to the legislature and governor on January 28, 2009. Future 520 tolling decisions will be made at the legislature.
1. Frequency of use of the bridge
2. Demographics of bridge users
3. Typical 520 bridge trip purpose
4. Generating support for electronic tolling
Charles Howard, Puget Sound Regional Commission
The transportation plan is designed to support the adopted growth strategy.
Transportation 2040:
Transportation 2040 is designed to support access to job centers and improve freight movement.
The region has developed a new program to better define, analyze and correct mobility problems.
Congestion Management Process:
Transportation 2040 focuses on water & air quality issues in the region.
Water Quality
Greenhouse Gas Strategy Complements the Overall State Approach
Transportation 2040 calls for a phased funding strategy.
Mid Range Constrained:
Long Range Constrained:
System-level tolls reflect an improved method (relative to previous alternative analysis) for estimating optimal toll rates.
The plan develops a Sustainable Funding Strategy.
Engage citizens on the following topics:
Most Supported Tolling the 520 Bridge
Three-fifths or more of the respondents supported tolling the 520 Bridge as a means of paying for a portion of the bridge replacement.
Electronic Tolling Increased Support for Tolling
When respondents learned that electronic tolling means vehicles travel at normal speeds through the toll area, a third or more were much more likely to support tolling the 520 Bridge.
Most Supported Early Tolling When They Considered Its Impact on Toll Amounts and Financing Costs
Well more than half supported beginning tolling of the existing 520 Bridge in 2010 when they knew that such early tolling would result in lower tolls and financing costs.
Most Supported Early Tolling When They Considered Its Impact on Travel Speeds
About half supported beginning tolling of the existing 520 Bridge in 2010 when they knew that such early tolling would result in faster travel speeds on the 520 Bridge.
Most Supported Variable Rate Tolling
There was support for variable rate tolling and it was even more appealing when respondents knew that the toll rates during off-peak times would be about half of peak toll rates.

Q1: Do we have a sense that the tolls will provide a consistent revenue stream for payback?
Q2: Can we secure financial commitments to fill the unfunded gap?
Q3: What potential TABOR impacts/limitations exist?
Q4: What's the cost/benefit of pursuing this project?

Tasmania and Victoria will be in a fight to the death when the last day of the Sheffield Shield's regular season gets underway on Sunday.
Only outright victory at Bellerive can guarantee the Tigers and Bushrangers a place in next week's final, although the Vics may sneak in if Western Australia and Queensland play out a draw.
After NSW thrashed South Australia, five sides remain in the running to host the decider.
Tasmania were 1-137 at stumps on a rain-interrupted day three, a lead of 148, and they will chase quick runs on Sunday morning before attempting to bowl the Bushrangers out.
Victoria expect to be chasing a target of around 300 in 70 overs, but Tigers coach Tim Coyle was giving little away.
"(We'll) see what the weather forecast is and just have a look and see what the conditions are like and (go) into the day with a few scenarios in our minds and be pretty flexible with that," he said.
Adding to the tension is the X-factor of rain in Hobart, with 48 overs lost on Saturday and showers forecast for day four.
Century-making Victorian batsman David Hussey said his side, which came into the final round of matches in top spot, would have no choice but to chase the victory after letting the two crucial first-innings points slip.
"It's going to be difficult," said Hussey, who made 112 in Victoria's first dig of 358 in reply to Tasmania's 6(dec)-369.
"It's probably not a new-ball wicket. It's probably more of an old ball wicket with it reversing a little bit.
"We need to really bat well tomorrow and whatever target they set we'll be definitely going for it."
The Tigers began their second innings well with openers Mark Cosgrove (50) and Jordan Silk (61no) putting on 98 before Cosgrove was bowled by Fawad Ahmed (1-30).
Silk will resume with Alex Doolan, who is unbeaten on 23.
The Tigers' destiny is entirely in their own hands, Coyle said.
"We're really worrying about what's going to happen here," he said.
"We know what's gone on up (in Sydney) and we'll keep an eye on what happens over in the west as well.
"All those things impact but at the end of the day this is a six-point game for both teams."

NEW YORK – Investors are pumping millions of dollars into encryption as unease about data security drives a rising need for ways to keep unwanted eyes away from personal and corporate information.
Major data breaches at Target and other retailers have made data security a boardroom issue at companies large and small. And stunning revelations of widespread snooping by U.S. intelligence agencies have also rattled companies and the public.
For venture capital, that has opened up a new area of growth in the tech business.
In February, Google Ventures led a $25.5 million round of venture funding for Atlanta-based Ionic Security, a 3-year-old company that works on encryption — the scrambling of data before it is shipped or stored.
Other encryption companies, including Toronto-based PerspecSys and San Jose, California-based CipherCloud, have announced major fundings.
The funding rush could hearken a "golden age" of encryption, as one expert puts it. But the industry also faces barriers to a tool that until recently was not a hot commodity.
Concerns about encryption range from practical challenges, such as the difficulty people have when searching for something in their encoded data, to government opposition toward privacy technology.
"People are afraid of it because they don't understand it," said John Kindervag, a vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research. But he called the wider use of encryption "inevitable, because there's no other way to solve the problem."
Kindervag said the industry is between one and two years away from "some big revolutions" in the field. "It just needs to happen," he added.
But Venky Ganesan, a managing director with venture capital firm Menlo Ventures, believes major advances are further off.
"Encryption slows down," Ganesan said. "Just imagine if every room in your house was locked and you had to open and close it every time you go in. You would be frustrated."

January 2 - The iconic South African gambling and tourist resort,
Sun City, will
be expanding into the Asian market, according to a Reuters
report released last week.
According to the report, Sun City will invest the princely sum of
$800 million in Sri Lanka's tourism market, and this was confirmed by the
country's Tourism Board.
"Sun City of South Africa is now going to make an $800 million
investment in a 200 acre private property," confirmed the head of the state
owned tourism board, Nalaka Godahewa regarding Sun City's investment in Sri
Sri Lanka was embroiled in a 25 year war which ended in May 2009.
Since then the island nation has been looking for ways to encourage tourism, and
has turned to a number of international groups, offering attractive incentives
in return for investment.
Sun City, which is owned by the leading South African gaming and
hotels entity, Sun International Ltd, will be making the biggest investment ever
made in the country's leisure sector.
According to the Sri Lanka Tourism Board, the property purchased by
Sun City is located in Katana, 15 km north of Colombo on the coast, within the
'hotel city'.
The Tourism Board said that the "decision is finalised."
"This is one of the biggest investments," added Godahewa.
While the Sri Lankan Tourism Board was willing to confirm Sun
City's investment in its tourism market, the gambling resort opted to keep mum
about its plans for the moment.
The company replied to a request for comments by Reuters
that it would not provide any further information until the new year.
Sun City's investment will mark entry into a thriving and
exciting new market which saw a record 820,000 tourists visit last year.
"[In 2012], more than the number, we are concerned about the
revenue," said Godahewa. "So the expectation is to hit $1 billion revenue and
perhaps 950,000 arrivals."
Sri Lanka is hoping to reach a target of 2.5 million visitors by
2016, and expects each tourist to spend around $1,100.
Sun City is considered one of South Africa's most popular gaming
resorts, drawing thousands of visitors each year to its four hotels, which
incorporate the five star Palace of the Lost City and The Cascade Hotels.
The famous Southern African 'gambling Mecca' boasts two casinos, both of them
open daily. The Jungle Casino boasts 250 slot machines, while the Sun City Hotel
Casino has 330 machines in both smoking and non smoking venues. In addition, the
casinos offer blackjack, poker, punto banco and American Roulette.

Book Review: 'The 5 Seasons: Tap into Nature's Secrets For Health, Happiness and Harmony' by Dr. Joseph Cardillo
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, July 3, 2013
The 5 Seasons: Tap into Nature's Secrets For Health, Happiness and Harmony by Dr. Joseph Cardillo shows how moods change during each of the five seasons. The five seasons in this framework are spring, summer, late summer, fall and the winter.
A strength of the book is that the author explains things that make us depressed during the year, as well as coping strategies to overcome gridlock or inaction.
Cardillo begins by explaining that spring is a time for new energy and fresh starts after the burdens of winter. The wood of the trees pushes upward while the wind blows the seed. This is the time to reset the mind and ride a wave of surging energy and boundless optimism. Deepak Chopra said the following about the springtime: "Every seed is the promise of a thousand forests."
Following the spring, Cardillo explains that summer soars with abundance. By late summer, we begin to put roots into place. Autumn is a time to let go, while the coming winter is a time for dreaming and resting comfortably.
Cardillo believes that all of us can live longer by tapping into nature's seasonal energy fields. For instance, the winter season is the time for meditation, dressing to protect from the cold, reading, sleeping more regularly, yoga, massage, stretching, hydrating and nurturing creativity.
The 5 Seasons: Tap Into Nature's Secrets For Health, Happiness and Harmony would be helpful for centering the mind in order to cope with pain.
The book is well written and aimed at a wide constituency of readers in the well-being industry and academe, providing an unusual perspective on advice and choices.

That it is easier for the fluidic hand to imprint itself upon the photographic plate (negative) in white than in black.
The question now arises: is the fluidic hand two-dimensioned?
The properties of the fluidic hands are not constant; they change frequently.
My impression was that there was really there a fluidic being.
According to this conception, the moving of objects without contact would be produced by the fluidic limbs of the medium.
How can this double, this fluidic body have the consistency of flesh and of muscles?
And, in truth, why should not his mind as well as his fluidic force be haled out of his body and be exhausted in external work?
Destitute themselves of the fluidic force, they seem, besides, to hinder its circulation and transmission.
Specialists call these points "hypnogenic points," from which fluidic streams radiate.
Loss of this fluidic substance destroys the faculty to receive impressions, and deafness or blindness ensues.

Music to My Ears (2006) is a 119-minute movie created by Christopher P. Jacobs with Mark Landa and Jenny Morris.
Main DetailsEdit
Plot SummaryEdit
Times are tough in modern middle America, and traditions are dying out. The city's oldest movie house will soon be a parking ramp unless somebody can do something to save it. Supporters think they have the perfect solution—they'll put on a benefit stage show to save the theatre. But nobody is prepared for what happens next. Not the aging theatre owners, the ambitious manager, the scheming banker, the mercenary real estate agent, the Broadway producer, the greedy ex-wife, the caustic choreographer, the old-movie nut, the pesky cute kid, or anyone else.
Production InformationEdit
Music to My Ears was co-produced by the Empire Arts Center and was shot largely at the historic Empire Theatre. The story and script were written during winter of 2004-05. Preproduction began in May 2005, with the bulk of shooting during July-August. Principal photography was completed in late January 2006. The movie premiered Thursday, February 16, 2006 at the Empire, playing through Sunday, February 19, and had encore showings March 26 and April 2, as well as closing out the 2006 Forx Film Fest in November. Repeat screenings were also scheduled to wrap up the 2007 Forx Film Fest and 2008 Forx Film Fest.

A one-sheet for Dead Dogs appears on the wall in the theatre office scene. A one-sheet for Vengeance of the Sorceress appears on the wall in the "Peggy's apartment" scene. The photo that Brenda has of Bill Warren is actually a publicity photo of Paul Kelly for The Threat of the Mummy. The bar scene interior was shot at Bonzer's, which is across the street from the Empire Theatre and also served as a barroom location for Dark Highways and Working Nights. In all three movies, Mark Landa played the bartender.

Z4MR Engine Air Filter
What's the interval for this? I see "replace microfilters" as part of the Inspection I service, but I'm not 100% that's the engine air filter. Follow-up question, is the carbon filter on top of the engine filter ever supposed to be replaced? Cleaned?
I just bought my 2006 Z4MR at 61K miles, have less than 1k extra on it. I bought a new engine air filter and, tonight when I replaced it, I saw how filthy the old one was. It had a date stamp on it from 2006. It seems pretty ridiculous that the dealership never changed it (plenty of BMW dealer records in the CarFax, including a CPO on the car), but not completely unbelievable. But, this is why I'm doing maintenance myself, as much as I can.
1 Attachment(s)
This is how very dirty that old one was (new one on right). I hope that it had an old date code because it sat around for four years...
Is there an official vehicle service history that shows that both Inspection I and Inspection II were done? Surprisingly, the air filter is only specified to be changed at Inspection II, but I just changed mine as part of Inspection I. It wasn't even close to being as dirty as yours.
The microfilter is the cabin air filter, and should also be replaced at least during Inspection I and Inspection II.
More importantly, Inspection I and Inspection II also call for a valve adjustment. Inspection II also calls for replacement of the transmission fluid, differential oil, and spark plugs. The brake fluid should also be flushed every two years.
Do a search here for "2007 Z4 Service Maintenance Checklist".
Congrat's on your Z ! If that air filter looked like that I would change the oil and oil filter also. Just for peace of mind. Good luck with your new baby !
Is there any service interval for replacing the carbon filter, or is it also concerned a "lifetime" part? Seems it must be considered lifetime, due to the lack of availability.
""You weren't sure on the oil type, so we're happy to confirm that it was indeed 10W/60 oil. We can also report that it looks like the previous owner took good care of this BMW. Universal averages show typical wear levels for this type of engine after about 4,900 miles on the oil. We don't know how long this oil was run, but with wear this close to average, we think something in the 4,000-5,000 mile range would be a good guess. The TBN was still plenty strong at 4.0, so lots of active additive was left (1.0 is too low). Now, go out and have some fun." "I just completed the valve adjustment this afternoon and everything went smoothly. All Inspection I items are now complete and the car is in good health!

PHILADELPHIA — A rare and pristine copy of the first issue of Action Comics, famed for the first appearance of Superman, has set a record Wednesday for the most money paid for a single comic book: $2.16 million.
The issue, graded at 9.0, was auctioned online starting Nov. 11. The starting bid was just $1 but there was a reserve price of $900,000. Neither the name of the buyer nor seller was disclosed.
It's the first time a comic book has broken the $2 million barrier. When the issue was published in 1938 it cost just 10 cents.

Whether or not New York Jets QB Mark Sanchez feels his fan base eroding given Tim Tebow's arrival, he still seems to have at least one big supporter on the SportsCenter desk.
Sanchez was upbeat and playful while talking to ESPN's Hannah Storm in Cortland, N.Y., after Jets practice Monday morning, fielding questions about intense new offensive coordinator Tony Sparano, WR Santonio Holmes and Tebow, who was on the receiving end of a humorous jab.
"He's awesome," Sanchez said of Tebow. "Nothing but a hard worker, he's a positive guy.
"He's really doing a good job."
As for the environment of New York's quarterback meeting room, Sanchez grinned, "First, we're trying to keep our shirts on," an obvious tease at Tebow after his shirtless jog in the rain Saturday.
Smiled Sanchez: "It was good conditioning after practice."
The interview over, ESPN's air caught Storm gushing on an open microphone, "Mark, you're awesome, you really are."
In a more serious vein, Sanchez also offered glowing reports on Holmes, who's been painted as a divisive locker room presence since last season.
"This guy's really running hard, setting a really good example," Sanchez said of Holmes' efforts in training camp practices.
He and his No. 1 wideout took time out in the offseason to patch their relationship.
"Last year there was a disconnect there, and we weren't ourselves," said Sanchez. "We let losing get to us."
Though Sanchez says any perceived rift between him and Holmes was "blown out of proportion," he admitted talking together "on a human level" has led to a better understanding between them.
"We started to rebuild everything we had two years ago," said Sanchez. "It's still a process."
Holmes recently talked to USA TODAY Sports' Jim Corbett about his feelings toward Sanchez.
"We have trust," Holmes said. "We know what we have. We're football players. And we're going to allow ourselves to play football. And I think it's going to work from that point on."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

There's a sale going on at Busted TeesB right now. Get all the tees at $13.99 as long as you use the code "HUMMUS." The sale ends Friday at midnight, so get over there soon.
The good people over at Teetonic were nice enough to send us a tee for review. Teetonic is a site very similar to Threadless in that you are able to rate the designs and comment on them. They seem to have one competition going on at a time, each with a distinct theme. The time that they are in the competition is about a month. And you can certainly submit your design to them as well.
We chose to review Night Owl in black because of our current Owl obsession. The shirts came in a nice, plastic folder with a snap closure and the Teetonic logo going across it. For the pack rats out there, it's totally something you could use as a folder. A sticker with the logo also came in the folder.
We really like the shirt right off the bat. The design is cute (of course, would we say anything bad about owls right now?). It's nice to see a V-neck in a t-shirt, that is so rare. And we really like the fit. We aren't sure who makes the actual tees, but they are a little more true to size than American Apparel and a little less tight on the hips, in case that is important to you. It's also a little stretchy and very comfortable. This tee will definitely be going into the Shirt Snob's tee rotation.
The one thing about Teetonic is that the are located in Scotland. So their prices reflect this a bit. Each one is 20 pounds. We personally have very little idea how much that is in USD, but we do know that they ship to the US. We aren't too sure how much it costs to ship over here or anywhere else, you'll have to ask them that. Or just put it on your credit card and hope for the best!
Each women's tee, unless otherwise stated, is mostly cotton (5% lycra) and a V-neck.
Currently, they only have four women's tees available, but more will be coming in the following weeks.
Soon the Shirt Snob's business partner will have a review of a men's tee from Teetonic, since we figure all of our readers must have men in their lives who they need to buy presents for at some point. Look for that in the next few days!
Happy Monday readers! We're going to start the week looking at what we've done this past month.

Now that it's almost August, it's time to start thinking about Fall and that means sweaters! Here's one that we really like, the Hand Knit Cable Car Coat by adam eve. This sweater is hand knit as the name says. It has cables running down it, ribbed banding at the cuffs and edges, and a shawl collar. It's also made of an alpaca and wool mix, and it comes in black and taupe. Now, the Shirt Snob is a bit of a knitter, so we know that this would take a long time to make by hand. We don't think the pattern looks very easy. Therefore, we feel this sweater is really worth it's price more than most tops we show.
Today we are combining our normal shirt post with our Accessory Friday post. We recently discovered Lucha Workshop, and we really like their stuff. Their tees come in both a unisex and a women's variety as well as in different colors. All the tees are also hand-screened on American Apparel tees. Some of our favorites include Cloe, Heart, Stars, and Minty. They also have a really funny blog you might want to look at.
Lucha Workship also sells handmade bags. Some of the designs are the same as their t-shirt designs, while others are exclusively for the bags. The Shirt Snob's favorite ones include the Bunny bag, the Spinky bag, the Bluebird Bag, and the Pink Cloud Wallet. Also, if you like something a little weirder, check out their plush bags.
It's been a while since we showed you anything from ingwa; melero, so let's change that. The Zaragoza Top is 100% silk and lined, with a V-neck, spaghetti strap halter that crosses in the back, and an empire waist with ruching. The body blousing out from there. The bust and a panel below the waist has a beautiful floral patterned embroidery. Four button closures are at the back. Comes in three colors, coral, white, and blush. If you like this top, you may also like the Zaragoza Halter Dress, which is actually on sale!
This next top definitely can't be pulled off by just anyone, but it's so cute and girly that we hope some of you will try. The Lace Trimmed Doll Halter by Cynthia Steffe has a halter top neck with two straps going down it to the body in the back. There is tulle-ruffles and lace along the bust, and the neck and straps are woven with silk ribbons. The back is smocked and there's a large ruffle at the bottom. It comes in two colors, peach blossom and tea.
There are three new tees at Busted Tees. They are Pizza is the Best, Original Gangsta, and St. Dorothy Mantooth. Personally, the Shirt Snob isn't enamored with any of them, but maybe you'll like them.
This next top sort of reminds us of our grandmother's couch, and for some reason it's a good thing. The Silk Checkered Top by Yumi Kim has a sweetheart neckline, an empire waist with a drawstring that ties in the front, four buttons that go down the chest, thick straps, and a flowing body. Then there's the pattern, a checkering of blue and other colors with flowers on top, with solid blue panel at the bottom. We think this would be a fun one to wear with your jeans.
New shirts at Threadless! For the regular competition winners, we really like This is not a Pipe (a Super Mario Bros. reference), Nature Call!, The Day They Came ("They" being aliens), and The Early Bird and the Worm. We also like the reprint Hypotamoose, they Type tee Shakespeare Hates Your Emo Poems, and the Select tee Strange Birds.
There's free shipping over at Fred Flare this week. Use the code "skoolrulez0706" at check out for the savings.
Shop Intuition is having yet another sale. Get 50-70% off a ton of great items.
Finally, our last Free People shirt of the day, the Pleated Bib Top. This blouse is semi-sheer slubbed voile (the site explains what this is for those of you who are curious) with antiqued buttons that run down the front, raw edges at the waist, and split cuffs. It has a tuxedo bib that runs down to the middle of the top, giving it a slightly more formal appeal. It comes in three colors, green, tea, and black.
Next up by Free People: the Pointelle Kimono Hoodie. This sweater has a wide ribbed waistband, wide 3/4 length sleeves, a hood, and antiqued copper buttons that go up the V-neck to where the hood begins. The stitches are large, so you should wear something underneath this. It'd be great to throw over your shirts for the fall. Comes in three colors, ivory, purple melange, and chai.
Today will be Free People day because that's what we're in the mood for. First is the V Wrap Flowy Tunic. Made of a wool blend, this top is roomy and comfy. It has a V-neck, a billoy waist that ends at the upper thigh, long sleeves, and ruching at the neck and upper back. Banding goes along the neck, wraps around the back and can eventually be tied in the front at the waist. It comes in both grape and black and would look really cute with a print tank underneath, as shown in the picture.
We thought the summer sale at Pink Mascara ended earlier this month, but it seems to be still going on. You can get 30-70% off a bunch of stuff (such as the Sunset Halter by Lauren Moffatt we wrote about last March) , and they've just added more items.
There's a sale going on at Diane Medak as well. Use the code "0706" at checkout to receive 20% off your order. Sale ends July 31.
Today only get 10% off everything at Bluefly! No code needed, so get over there!
Although you probably wouldn't realize it, the Shirt Snob just loves hoodies. We think they are the cutest things ever. So when we discovered this one, the Butterfly Thermal with Hood by Grail, we decided we had to show it to our readers. Made of 100% cotton, this top has a split V-neck, pouch pocket, banding at the neck and pocket, and surged edges at the bottom hem and sleeves. There is a large butterfly on the upper right shoulder in the back and paint splatter detail on the lower left side. We think this would be a fun top to wear as the weather starts to get a little cooler.
Shirt Fight! is another new t-shirt site. They just launched this month with 12 tees. Some are a bit dirty, so the Shirt Snob would probably not wear them. But others are just plain funny. We think this site would work really well with the college crowd (which we still pretend we are a part of, refusing to believe we are aging at all). The main page is really cute too, with all the designs shown on the shirt of a large cartoon man. All the shirts are printed on American Apparel and are silkscreened. They will continue to add more designs, so keep going and seeing what they have.
Happy Friday! Today for Accessory Friday, we are going to look at the purses from Queen Bee Creations. As all our faithful readers know, the Shirt Snob certainly has a love for bags. These ones are definitely ones that we really want. There are four bags, the Poppy Tote, the Poppy Truckette, the Queen Bee Coin Purse, and the Twig Diaper Tote (which we're sure you all know by now can be used by anyone who needs a bag with a lot of pockets). They are all made of waterproof vinyl, and they are all handmade. All of these bags are available at Elsewares, an independent art and design shop that has loads are great shirts, accessories, and more. For other great designs by Queen Bee, they have a website as well.
There's a sale at Willow 506 right now on Juicy Couture. You can get 30% off all Juicy by using the code "Juicy Deal." If you're a Juicy fan, now's the time to stock up. Free shipping on all orders over $150 too!
What the hell, let's just make the rest of the week t-shirt week. After all, there's a bunch more websites we want to tell you about. Last week we got bombarded with all these new places. This one, 19-23, is probably our favorite, just because it's artsy and yet not too weird for our tastes. We really love every single one we see. They sell both mens and womens tees. Our favorites are probably Golden Bird, Greener, and Deja Vu. Almost all the shirts come in two colors as well. Each shirt has a message on the inside which basically has the company's philoophy. Pretty neat if you ask us!
The world is now overflowing with new t-shirt companies. As we discover them, we let you know about them. Today we found out about Owl Movement. Right off the bat we like them because of their name. Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of women's tees (you have to click on each shirt to see what is in stock), and some of their designs are not quite our taste (we're a little afraid of the skull one), but some are cute and funny. We can't link to individual tees, so you have to go yourself to check them out. We think they come out with new stuff every few weeks though, each time with a different theme, so keep looking to see what's new.
There are new tees at Oddica right now. We really like Karma, Ghost Cameras, and Sheltered 2 (which seems to be the same as the other Sheltered, but in a different color) the best. They are also still having the sale where you save more the more tees you buy. One is $20, two are $30, and three or more $14 each. We think that's a pretty good deal, consider stocking up for future birthdays or for holiday presents!
There's more new at Threadless. The Blik winner was announced, 7.00, and there is also a runner up, Happy When It Rains. There are also new tees, including Stat City, Africa, Anteater, and Satan's Little Helper (which reminds us of the dog in the first Harry Potter book. There are also two new reprints, Obi Wan Kerisst and Who F*cking Cares? There is also a new Type tee Stop, drop, and roll doesn't work in hell and a new Select tee The Deep. Threadless has also started another contest, this one with Wired Magazine. The theme is Future Forward, and you can submit through August 7th.
There's another sale going on at Shop Rapunzels. Get 20% off all merchandise by using the code "July06." This sale ends on July 31st, so make sure to get over there before then!
We just found out about Individualtee, a site that allows you to choose the style of the shirt as well as the color before choosing from one of their many designs. Basically, you choose the shirt unlike other sites that decide the color and style for you. You can even decide some of the colors in the design. If you enjoy being creative but don't want to actually come up with a design yourself, this is a great place to shop. They are constantly coming up with new designs so if you don't like what you see (which we doubt), you can go back and choose from new ones. Also, this site sells to a variety of different countries, so if you aren't from the US, you can still easily enjoy this site. Our favorite design is definitely Ink Cloud, as shown above.
The Shirt Snob can't get enough of this next blouse. It easily could have looked like drapes in the hands of the inexperienced, but because it was made by Foley + Corinna, it's just elegant. The Sandra's Silk Jersey Top is made of 100% silk. It has a wide, cowl neck, a slit under the sash, cap sleeves, and ruching at the shoulders, side, and sash. It also comes in four colors: brick, indigo, taupe, and black. If you like this top you may also like the Sandra Silk Jersey Dress.
Lately, the Shirt Snob has really been into Rachel Pally. She makes a lot of really cute tops. This one, the Prairie Top, is no exception. The jersey shirt has short sleeves, unfinished edges, a V-neck, and drawstrings at the neck and sleeves. It comes in five colors, nude, moss, cream, black, and heather. The obi comes separately. Also made by Pally, it come in prints as well as in cream, blush, pool, grass, kryptonite, watermelon, and heather. You can also buy the metal belt as well.
Trina Turk is having a sale as well. Get 40% off the Spring and Summer merchandise (50% in the store). It starts on Wednesday the 19th and goes until August 6th.
Frosting is having a sale on their bestsellers. So you can buy some accessories and feel good that you are saving as you do!
Happy Monday everyone! Over the weekend, we really wanted a striped top, so we went looking for some. Here's a few of the options out there if you like stripes too. We found a bunch from C&C California, and the prices are great so you can get a few of each. First up is the Chain Gang Stripe Classic Tank with skinny stripes and spaghetti straps and comes in 3 different color patterns (mozart/walmont, absynth/slipper, and steeple/mudslide), the Rebel Bold Stripe Top with a wide neck, short sleeves, and elastic banding at the bottom hem and has white strips with black, poppy, battlefield, madame, absynth, steeple, and mozart. The Wrangler Bold Stripe Tee is a fitted, short sleeved top, and again has white striped paired with black, poppy, battlefield, madame, mozart, and steeple. Finally, there is the Classic Bold Stripe Tank, which is fitted and semi-sheer. This tank comes in black, poppy, battlefield, madame, mozart, absynth, and steeple with white stripes.
For Accessory Friday, we are yet again showing you some jewelry. We know, we do jewelry all the time, but we really like this company. It's very reasonably priced too. Peggy Li Creations sells earrings, necklaces, bracelets, an urges and splurges section for pricer items, and limited edition pieces in both gold and silver. We really like the Spanish Moss Jade Earrings, the Pink Chocolate Necklace, and the Vintage Filagree Leaf Earrings.
Diane von Furstenberg has yet another wrap that we just adore. The Revolution Top ties at the waist with the ties ending mid-calf. There are also flap pockets on the chest, button tab detailing at the rolled cuffs and shoulders, and sleeves that go to the elbows. It comes in two colors, chocolate and navy. We think this would be a great one for the fall.
We know you have a busy life and a busy schedule, and that's why everyone here at BlogPire Productions wants to make it easier for you to get the latest news from any of our sites. It's really easy - just click the link - sign up and you'll get the list of headlines sent to you via email each week.
We really like this next top, the Cotton Lawn Cami by James Perse. It's simple and pretty, and sometimes we like our shirts that way. Made of 100% cotton, this cami is semi-sheer with ruching at the bust, eyelet detailing at the empire waist and bottom hem, and a drawstring at the waist that ties in the front. The spaghetti straps are adjustable as well. Comes in five colors, pale linen, kiss, swan, abyss, and white.
It was almost a year ago that we wrote about Hardboiled, and we still love their tees. Therefore, we wanted to remind you all about them. They are still selling the tops we wrote about then, such as the Bamboo Tee, and they have a bunch of others that we really like, including the Corsage T-Shirt, the Bee T-shirt, the Flower Swirl T-Shirt, and the Vines T-Shirt. The shirts all come in scoop neck, cap sleeve, and 3/4 length sleeve (for $6 more) versions. They've also raised their prices by $2, but $29 is still a great deal if you ask us. These tees are very cute, very artistic, and they are so easy to pair with jeans for a laid-back yet still put together look. We want these tees more than any other right now!
The Shirt Snob must admit that we don't normally like tuxedo styled tops normally. They are just too masculine for our taste. However, here is one that we can't stop looking at, probably because it's pink. The Tuxedo Shirt by adam+eve is a sheer silk blouse. It has frayed ruffle detail at the front, 7 buttons down the front, and a single button at each cuff. It is long sleeved, has a collar, and a silk camisole is underneath. If you are looking for something dressy and a little daring, maybe try this top this fall. Comes in black as well as pink.
More new at Threadless today. Check out Bonsai Gardener, Deerie, and Rorschach Hits the Disco. Also, for the zombie fan in your life (we have a ton), consider the reprint Of the Dead.
There are two new tops by Catherine Malandrino that we love and can't wait to tell you about. The first is the Chantico Embroidered Blouse. I'm sure the name doesn't hurt (remember those Chantico's at Starbucks, oh how we miss them!), but this blouse is beautiful! It has embroidered crochet trim at the waist and edges, pintucking below the empire waist, and ruching at the bust and shoulders. It is semi-sheer and has a hidden zipper on the side. Comes in two colors, noir and merlot.
The second top is the V Neck Half Sleeve Pointelle Sweater. Made of 100% baby alpaca, this knit blouse is super soft. It has a V-neck, pointelle detail throughout, flutter sleeves, and yoke detail at the empire waist. It is very feminine and very sexy. This one also comes in two colors, noir and soy.
We really love this next blouse, the Arizona Top by Diane von Furstenberg. This chiffon top has ruching at the cap sleeves, a slight V-neck, 5 buttons going down the front, and lace detailing on the front. It has a silk lining as well. We really like how dressy this blouse is. It could just as easily be worn with a pair of jeans as a nice skirt though.
Here is yet another t-shirt company we just recently discovered, Orange Shag. This one has some shirts that are a little crude, and many that are retro. Flashdance and Class of 80 are some examples of this. Many of their tees are ringers, which you all know the Shirt Snob loves. Some of our favorites on this site include Pirate, Red Star, and Bahamas. They also have men's tees, sunglasses, belt buckles, posters, and more.
We haven't shown you anything from Lotta Stensson in a while, so it's about time we fix that! The Bohemian Tie Halter has gold spheres, buttons, and flowers embroidered on the bottom and intricate beading and gold embellishment with a hint of blue at the bust and bottom hem. Elastic banding is at the empire waist, there is ruching at the bust, and spaghetti straps tie behind the neck.
The Shirt Snob really hopes we aren't doing too many baby items for our Accessory Fridays. We're trying hard not to, but we keep stumbling onto some great items. This one, although technically for a mom, could really be used by any woman (laptop bag maybe?). Susanne Maddux makes diaper bags. However, these don't seem to be just any diaper bags, they seem to be the supreme diaper bags. They are large (17x12x5 inches), have three cargo pockets, a large side pocket for a changing pad and diapers, metalic snap closures, a nylon interior, water resistant nylon canvas on the exterior, large interior zipper and side pockets, a cell phone pocket, an interior bottle holder, metal feet on the bottom, and even a changing pad is included. This is a pretty good diaper bag so far, but we also think it's a very handsome bag. It has a clean look, not too much color so you can still try to match it to your wardrobe. It is available in six colors, our favorites being chocolate & cream with sky blue lining and classic black on black with blush pink lining. Susanne Maddux is a mother, and that is obvious. Too many diaper bags are made to look cute but aren't that great to actually use. They can be too small, not washable, or too heavy. This one seems just right!
Can you handle all the sales going on right now? We can barely keep track of them, there's just so much savings on the web right now. Over at Bluefly they are having an extra 15% off tees and tops. We don't know how long this will last, so get over there before it ends!
The sale at Sway and Cake is still going on, now with more items added and mark downs at 50-75% off, according to an email we got from them at least. Their website says the sale is 30-75% off, but maybe they haven't updated it. Either way, great savings!
Now normally the Shirt Snob would not be interested in a t-shirt that is $130, but we are obsessed with owls right now, so we can't help it. The Owl Crew by Joystick is a little on the young side (we're not so sure about the shiny star patchwork on the bottom as well as the lightning bolt on the left shoulder), but the owl embroidered in the center of the tee we just love. On the back the words "Who Loves You" are also embroidered with more stars. If you don't mind that the shirt is a little busy, this might be a good one to consider. Comes in two colors, mint and white.
The Shirt Snob was lucky enough to get a complementary t-shirt from Oddica to review (oh, how we love our job!) in the mail a few days ago. We were hoping to get the shirt TapeBird, but instead we ended up with Snailbot. It's a nice design, but not quite in the Shirt Snob's tastes. Nevermind though, a shirt is a shirt, and the company makes them all the same way. The tee is printed on American Apparel, so it's super soft and comfy, and we know it's also high quality. Just don't forget that American Apparel runs a little small, so when in doubt, get a size larger.
The design is very well done we must say. It is printed very well, and we really like the color shirt that they chose to put the design onto (and this is a very big deal to us, one issue we do have with Threadless is all of the shirts we like the best seem to be on yellow tees, not our favorite color). There is also a little designe on the back corner of the shirt as well.
Besides the tee, in the bag were two Oddica stickers, four Oddica postcards with their tee designs on them, a button with the Snailbot design on it, and a library card with the date stamped on it when the shirt was ordered. One of the neatest things though is the bag that everything came in. It has the Oddica logo on it with a picture of Bluebird Migrane and Sheltered on it, so it's very stylish and fun, very exciting to get in the mail. The best part though-it's resealable! We just love that so much.
The company is also very easy to work with. I've dealt with two people there, and both were very friendly and easy going, and they also were very quick to respond to me.
So overall, we are very happy with the company and their products. We highly recommend them to you all!
It's that time again, time for more Threadless tees. This week our favorites include Kabuki Fish, Psychedelephant, and the reprint Miss Scarlet in the Hall with a Revolver. Also check out their new contest, it has to do with the upcoming movie Little Miss Sunshine, one that we are looking forward to seeing this summer if the Shirt Snob baby will let us. The Create your own trend contest ends on July 10, so get your submission in before then!
Here's a nice and breezy blouse that will work great for the rest of the summer, the Empire Waist Stretch Floral Top by M Missoni. This semi-sheer top has cap sleeves, an empire waist, elastic at the sleeves, empire waist, and bottom, a square back, and it falls below the waist. We really like the floral print, it's fun and easy going. If you want something light weight but doesn't show off too much skin, this is the blouse for you.
Fred Flare is also having a summer sale. You can save 25-50% on select items, including some cute tees.
Shop Rapunzels is having a sale. Get 50% off selected items in their online store.
T-shirt companies seem to be coming out of the woodwork suddenly. We keep finding more and more that we like (and a few we don't like too). Here's one that we think is pretty neat. Edoc Laundry wants to bring together fashion, tech and entertainment all into one brand. Their clothes have "nothing to hide." As their website states:
Our garments feature vivid street culture/music-oriented graphics, custom
stitching, distressed cuts, and prints that "defy" seams. But the real
kicker? Each shirt has hidden codes that unlock covert pieces of a crazy
murder mystery on the Web. Our motto? There's more than meets the eye -- if
you're smart enough to look a little deeper.
We just say that we are intrigued. The Da Vinci Code phenomenum now has entered the fashion world!
The company sells womens and mens clothing as well as hats. The shirts we like the best are Flying Colors, Rock Angel, and Floral. We really wish there were real pictures of the shirts though, it's hard to see how it truly looks from a drawing. Also, make sure to check the availability though, not all the shirts are available in all sizes and colors. And please let us know if you understand the clues hidden in the clothing, we don't see anything.
Edited to add:
Here are two pictures of this actual shirt. We found out that the key is on the shirts. Once you figure it out, you go to their website, put the code in, and you can watch part of an episodic murder mystery. Pretty cool! With their new line in September will come more shirts with more codes and more of the mystery!
Wow, is June really over already? This month has slipped by us so quickly. Before we know it, we'll be seeing Back to School sales at the malls! It's been a great month, let's look at what we've covered!

For one of my Zend Framework web applications I'm going to install memcached. I am currently using file cache however think memcached is a much better way to go. This post is one in a series:
1a. Go to your php.ini file usually located in C:/xampp/php/php.ini find this line:
and replace it with:
1b. If you cannot find this line simply add the following line to below where all the ;extension= lines.
2. Add the following to just below the new line
memcache.allow_failover = 1
memcache.chunk_size =8192
memcache.default_port = 11211
3. Download the necessary php_memecache.dll file from the following location.
For windows 7 I used the following file:
4. Unzip the php_memcache.dll file and put it into your php ext folder. Usually C:/xampp/php/ext/
5. Download memcached for windows here (make sure it's thewin32 binary):
6. Unzip and put the memcache.exe file into a desired directory (e.g. c:/memcached/)
7. Open command line in Windows Administrator Mode.
Click start, type in 'Search programs and Files' box, wait for the program cmd.exe to appear, right hand click on the icon and select run as administrator
8. Install the memcache service Type the following into the command line
c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install
If you dont get any errors it means it's worked.
9. Start memcached Type the following into the command line
c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d start, or net start "memcached Server"
10. Restart Xampp Apache
11. Test Memcache Create a php file and paste the following code. Then go to the page. If you do not see any errors then it has worked.
$memcache = new Memcache;
$memcache->connect('localhost', 11211) or die ("Could not connect");
$version = $memcache->getVersion();
echo "Server's version: ".$version."
\n";
$tmp_object = new stdClass;
$tmp_object->str_attr = 'test';
$tmp_object->int_attr = 123;
$memcache->set('key', $tmp_object, false, 10) or
die ("Failed to save data at the server");
echo "Store data in the cache (data will expire in 10 seconds)
$get_result = $memcache->get('key');
echo "Data from the cache:
\n";

####Paramount Theatre Designed by San Francisco architect Timothy L. Pflueger and built in 1931, the Paramount Theatre remains a pristine example of art-deco design. For a decade it shone as a grand movie palace, but then it fell into neglect and wallowed in its popcorn-butter tears. A dramatic 1973 makeover, however, launched it onto the National Registry of Historic Places and returned it to its former prominence in the public eye. Today [film screenings](http://www.paramounttheatre.com/film.html), live cultural events, and speakers as varied as Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Jeb Bush, and the crew of NPR's Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me! fill the [historic](http://www.paramounttheatre.com/history.html) theater's [calendar](http://www.paramounttheatre.com/schedule.html).

ES4: Oblivion - Defining A Generation
View Single Post
July 23rd, 2013, 10:36
I think we should be looking things under a different context here. Sometimes it's not a matter of a writer of an article not knowing enough about the subject he writes but a matter of us knowing too much.
People who aren't interested in investing the time and effort to master these games require a certain level of 'comfort' in order start enjoying them. For us this is unnecessary (and, sometimes, even unwelcome), our devotion to the genre makes us very demanding when it comes to genre-specific features but very tolerant when it comes to that comfort - we've played ugly, buggy games with uncomfortable controls, sadistic amounts of challenge and vague goals and we enjoyed them because we have put the effort to train ourselves to recognize the ideas hidden below the rough surface. So we can deal with discomfort, we're going to get to the bottom of it anyway, we don't need the game make things easy for us.
But that's a choice we made, one can't devote oneself to everything, it's just not possible. And that's where I think Oblivion excelled: I can't think of a game with more depth and complexity even being so accessible to those that don't have the intention to learn the genre - call them console-kids or casuals or 'retards' or whatever else demeaning name you want but they have no obligation to be as knowledgeable as we are about this thing as we have no obligation to be as knowledgeable as they are about what they enjoy most. I even know people that don't play games at all and still enjoy this one immensely - for me it was a mostly uninteresting game that did the things I care about worse that many others before it, but for them it was an magical experience being able to roam freely in such a large and detailed world.
And for that, regardless of how we feel about it, I think it really was a 'game changer'.

text: Do you insist on everything being 100% vicuna? Of course not. Don't be obtuse. Hand sewn shoulders are only noticeable on close inspection, and it is not an unreasonable decision, by any means, for someone to choose not to pay a marginal $100 (or whatever it may be) for that feature. Additionally, preferences on what looks best are subjective. And I've seen plenty of hand stitching on SF that looks like shit. And even more additionally, I don't doubt Carl's view (if I'm interprating it correctly) that machine sewn stitches are more robust. Even more additionally: I think hand stiching might look nice on a casual shirt, sure. But I think it would look innappropriate on a business shirt in many or most situations.

Had to return to hospital at 36 hours after surgery because of 100.6 temperature and fast heartrate. Had an another 24 hours of IV antibiotics followed by a week of medicine at home. Then I felt great with only Motrin. Then about 15 days out started having painful twinges wake me up in the middle of the night. Had to start taking Percocet again. Then started the low grade fevers and body aches at 17 days out. Incisions ok but gray and hard in areas, no red. Can't take pics on kindle. Infection?
19 Days out Breast Reduction with Low Grade Fevers, More Pain, Body and Headaches with Abdominal Problems. Possible Infection?
Doctor Answers 1
Late infection
I am sorry you aren't feeling well.
I would say that it is unusual to have in infection this late out, but it certainly can happen. Without pictures it is difficult to say. If your incisions look ok and your breast is not red and hot, the only other possibility is that you may have a fluid collection that is deep inside your breast that is infected. You can tell this by doing an ultrasound scan.
I would strongly recommend that you go see your plastic surgeon as soon as possible. He/she may want to start you back on antibiotics and or get a scan to rule out any fluid collections. You should be feeling better by now, not worse!!
I hope you feel better soon!!

Snowmen with Paper Mache Clay – Weekend project
Puerto Ricans are mad about snowmen…who knew! I suppose its a novelty for those who haven't seen nor experienced real snow. I had lots of requests last year for snowmen so I made these little ornaments from 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch styrofoam balls with paper mache clay to form the noses, eyes, buttons and hats. They're sitting on cork platforms with paper mache clay filler so they'll sit by themselves on a mantel. Red and green pipe cleaners were used for the scarves and ear muffs. The cap and scarf on the snowman to the far right was made of stretchy T-shirt fabric.
Paper mache clay is one of my favorite mediums for crafting. Its used in place of paper mache (paper strips and paste) over an armiture. It's simply toilet paper soaked in water, squeezed dry then shredded fine in a food processor. Joint compound, homemade white glue, flour, bleach and gylcerin was whirled with the shredded paper until a smooth dough was achieved. This recipe is adapted from Ultimate Paper Mache. Check out the recipe video below from Ultimate Paper Mache. Jonni Good is the author of Make Animal Sculptures with Paper Mache Clay.
Paper Mache Clay Recipe – makes 1 quart or 2 pounds
- 1 roll Angel Soft toilet tissue
- 1 cup regular joint compound
- 3/4 cup homemade white glue (recipe to follow) or Elmer's Glue All
- 1/2 cup flour (all-purpose)
- 1 Tbsp Chlorine Bleach
- 1 Tbsp Glycerine
Homemade White Glue
- 1 cup flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 1 tsp vinegar
Place homemade glue ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened like a medium thick white sauce.
To prepare the paper mache clay: Remove the cardboard roll from the toilet paper. Place toilet paper in a bowl of warm water until completely saturated. Squeeze as much water as possible from the toilet tissue. Break up the roll of toilet paper into chunks and whirl in a salad spinner until it feels just damp. Transfer to a food processor, pulse and whirl the paper until finely shredded. Add the remaining ingredients and whirl until its like cookie dough. Place in a plastic container with tight fitting lid and let set 3-4 hours or overnight.

I have this good friend, we'll name her Sherry. I'm calling her a "good friend," but the truth is that we don't talk to each other that often or see each other that often now. We both work full time, and she had a baby recently, so we're both busy, and we live about an hour from one another. Regardless, she's one of my favorite people, so I think "good friend" is a fair term.
Sherry and I now see each other probably 2-3 times a year. We usually get together at her place, because she has the baby, so it's easier for me to travel than for her to travel. And I don't mind.
But when we get together, she always invites a few other friends. I haven't seen Sherry one-on-one in a long time... over a year, maybe two.
I guess there are different ways to look at this. Sherry's a busy woman, and if she's going to take the time and energy to entertain at her home, she might as well get to see a few friends at the same time.
But I also wonder if it means I am a less-important friend. I like Sherry enough that I'd block out time in my schedule to see her one-on-one. But I have other friends who I prefer to see in groups. For example, I have a childhood friend that still lives near my old hometown. We'll call her Nickie. Nickie's not one of my favorite people, but it's also not really worth it to "break up" with her. So, if she wants to get together, I arrange to see her when I visit my family or other hometown friends. And it works out fine, we see each other, but I probably wouldn't take the time to see Nickie one-on-one.
So, I don't know. Maybe Sherry, my "good friend," sees me the same way. Or, maybe she sees the other people as her Nickie, and she invites me along the same way I invite other people when I hang out with Nickie.
But I suspect that Sherry makes all of her plans with all of her friends this way. I think she sees it as a way to see all of her friends without too much effort. So, I don't think I should take it personally. But I would hope that she would realize that she doesn't need to put any effort into seeing me - I would be perfectly happy hanging out in her apartment, messy or not, and just doing nothing or playing with her baby, no further entertainment needed.
I guess another part of the problem is that I don't really like her other friends. (Which is part of the reason why I suspect that one of them is her "Nickie," not me. Because they're annoying, and I'm not. In my opinion.) But I think that if we were hanging out with a nice, fun group of people, it would be a little better, although I'd still want some one-on-one time with Sherry.
And I also understand that sometimes you think "Hey, this friend would get along great with my other friend, I should introduce them." I can appreciate that. In fact, I've met some of my better friends when they started out as friends-of-friends. But I don't get the impression that Sherry thinks I have anything in common with these friends. She's certainly hasn't said to me, "Jane is coming too. You'll like her. Just like you, she also collects pre-war confederate bottle caps." In fact, the other friends haven't even been new people. Sherry's other guests have all been people I've met before at her get-togethers, and it's not as if we really clicked the last time together.
The same way that I feel like it's not really "worth it" for me to hang out with Nickie one-on-one, I'm starting to feel like it's not worth it for me to hang out with Sherry and her other friends.
So, what do you think? Next time she invites me over, should I say, "Who's going to be there?" And, what, come up with an excuse if she names the other friends I don't like?
I could make a point of calling her and saying, "Let's get together, just the two of us." And that would satisfy my desire to spend time with her, but I still don't want to hang out with her less-likeable friends the next time that opportunity arises.
So, what do you think?

How about suggesting an "appointment-type" event. Like you two go to a spa or manicure or something? Even moms like a little "me" time.ReplyDelete
Or shopping. Do the "hey, let's get together, just the two of us. Maybe we could go shopping?" Totally doable.ReplyDelete

Match Details
- Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore
TV Umpires
Reserve Umpire
Match Referee
Scorecard Summary
- Yuvraj Singh84 (53)
- PA Reddy84 (96)
- R Vinay Kumar4/76 (10.5)
- I Saxena2/45 (7.0)
Well thanks for all the comments and feedback, we'll be back tomorrow to see what Sehwag and Kohli have in store against Umesh Yadav and Co. Have a good evening. Ciao ciao.
Vinay Kumar saves the day or Vinay Kumar almost gives it away! Depends on what way you look at it. But Blues have won - the margin is not too big after scoring that mammoth score - but they have won, and they are now in the final. The batting has been exhilarating in the match. Yuvraj and Nayar made hay during the first innings during an assault that just happened to be the difference. But this is India, the bowling makes sure no target is ever safe. They do it at the international stage, and they do the same at the national stage. Bhuvneshwar, Umesh, Vinay, bowlers who should be controlling these overs, end up being the culprits. Full marks to the Reds lower order - Jadhav, Jaggi, Nadeem, Umesh - for taking the fight till the end.
Satz: "This very much sums up the standards of our international bowlers! And we can't scream that our heroes are back to form on hitting these bowlers. But one thing is so sure that Yusuf is no good a player for even Challengers trophy."
Two sixes, that's all Nadeem needs to hit
Satyak69: "India red would have already won the match, if they had controlled their extras, that is the only difference."
And now Patel is walking out.. Wake up people, this is not over yet!! Ok, 13 off 3!!!
This is atrocious bowling!! And these are our international bowlers!
Umesh on strike, last over, 23 runs
END OF OVER:49 | 15 Runs | IND-R: 323/8
- S Nadeem27 (20b)
- UT Yadav9 (5b)
- B Kumar9-0-74-1
- R Vinay Kumar10-0-65-2

"Assad must be very happy by now," an activist in Damascus, who uses the pseudonym Lena, says.
Which is why Lena Dunham has succeeded so well: Girls is great.
Lena Rusch and Charlie Pepper married young thinking they were a perfect match and could raise the ideal American family.
Meanwhile, Lena Headey, the actress who plays Cersei, also seemed to think her character was a willing participant.
Just Google "Patrick Wilson Girls backlash," and wait for the hateful, Lena Dunham-bashing vitriol to bombard your screen.
His presence was unexpected, but it was as welcome as the flowers in May to Lena, who dearly loved her brother.
After she knocked, the door was opened from within by Lena Kimball.
As he hoped, this made Lena laugh, and she pulled out her over-scented handkerchief to wipe her eyes.
I thought you were going to be married, Lena,' she said teasingly.
Till that moment, perhaps, Lena had never known what shame meant.
