Last we heard her rights were "up in the air," but I would totally love to get her.
Battleground Teela's body makes her a really easy figure to make too!
I have been watching the development of the new female buck issue for a long time and with alot of interest. And I recently remember that it was stated that there would be atleast 1 NA character included in 2011 club eternia subscription. And as we all know there are also 2 female figures remaining to be revealed for 2011. So, it stands to reason that one of the females would be from New Adventures. It was also said that the New adventures figure would be a Galactic Guardian.
So I did some digging and the only figure that I could find from the NA toyline was some images of this Mara prototype. These images are from the www.greyskulmuseum.com. site. Under the NA prototypes section.
Once I looked closely at this I could immidiatly see alot of similarites between this prototype design, and the buck development FH have recently implimented with the BattleGround Teela figure. The way in which the Legs connect to the hip joint is vitually the same in both figures, and also, if you look at the shape of the Torso, it is practically the same as Battle Ground Teela also. All that would needed to make Mara is a new top rather than a Golden Bra, Some new boots, and a new head. And 1 smaller arm bracelet.
So, after thinking about it, im pretty confident that if Mara will most likely be one of the Females for the later part of 2011. What do you all think?
I'll be excited to get a new female, but i do not know anything about this character since i was not an NA fan. Does anyone know anything or have more infomation about her and her role in the story?
Last we heard her rights were "up in the air," but I would totally love to get her.

i too had actually considered the idea that Mara could be a female we get this year. Otherwise the fall is going to be very hero heavy. 1) heroic Master 1) Galactic Guardian and 1) female and the only evil female there currently are rights for is Entrapta and i can't see doing another Horde member so closely after Leech and Catra. Unless the variant for fourth quarter is Evil-Lyn.
From a logic point of view, you are so on the right track and i so hope you are right...
There is this weird thing about her Prototype and the rights.
As far as i´ve learnt the last few month her prototype design was lost and that´s why they don´t have the rights for her character and design.
That´s what they call legal Limbo.
It makes no sense and it shows that female characters aren´t important enough as opposite to Darius Prototype they seem to have looked out for his Prototype and that´s why he is possible.
I know i sound a bit bitter but actually i am. She would have been a great figure if you ask me.
This was my thought too — that we would be getting NA Mara. This settle a slot for a woman character and provide one for the NA in one swoop. This please two factions of the MOUTC fandom.
This character looks fascinating, besides that mace on the end of hair makes me think of "The Nutcracker" for some reason.
Oh the rights issues. Ha! i should have guessed things would not be that simple. But either way I'm very open minded to the prospect of this character in MOTUC and I hope she gets developed. She seems like the most interesting of the Galactic Guardian figures toys to me, personally. But what did she actually do in NA? I'd never seen or heard of her before. What were he powers and her abilities?
The outfit on the prototype is actually more risqué than what's shown in the cartoon, but they still have some similarities. Mara doesn't get the spiked-ball hair and warrior look until later in the the series, when she becomes ambassador to the Galactimytes. - These short stackable characters.
The reason I believe the rights are up in the air is because, unlike Darius and some of the other unproduced characters, she was never featured on any official Mattel packaging, in a catalog etc. And while there is a prototype figure of her, it's a painted hardcopy (made of heavy material...probably resin), and they don't stamp the Mattel name or copyright at that stage of the figure-making process. As far as I know, there are no molds/test shots/final production pieces that exist. Soooo, if Mattel no longer has the paperwork proving they worked on her at one time, that could definitely be a reason why they're hesitant to do her. ...But I'm hopeful they will eventually get the rights to characters from that series.
This is all so interesting. I mean..Masters of the Universe in itself is a very rich and mysterious world. But it seems like the "real world" in which surrounds the creation of these figures and concepts that were developed is equally as mysterious...:/
Nobody here really knows what Mattel has or hasn't. That's an internal matter. They haven't said NO to Mara. So anything is up in the air.
You just read a post from the head Honcho of Nerds On A Couch!
My thought is that we will get her eventually, especially if Mattel and Classic Media have a deal worked out now (Classic Media not only owns the rights to the Filmation cartoons but also to NA, which means they own the Mara design).
I think she will likely look a little Like that prototype figure but also come with some removable robes so that she can be made to look like her early-cartoon design.
She could have two heads too.
She is unlikely to be the final 2011 female though.
A Want List: Starburst She-Ra, Ghost, Mini Comic Tri-Klops, Mini-Comic/Vintage Toy costume Catra, Kayo, Joya, Storm, Twiggets, Melaktha, Sagitar, Spirit, Kothos, Master Sebrian, The Enchantress, Weapons Paks, Fuerza T figures, 200X Sorceress, King Miro, Dree-Elle & Uncle Montork.
Filmation Variants: She-Ra, Bow, Mantenna, Leech, Entrapta, Grizzlor, Prince Adam, Glimmer, Adora
Unless you know something. Then I'll be expecting a PM shortly.
PoP Variants are part of the vintage line, too! Starburst She-Ra, Shower Power Catra, and Scratchin' Sound Catra for 2015!!!

Thanks for uploading those images Darkspectre. Yes, once i saw this figure I started looking around for more info on the character and there really is nothing... :/
Well, they did say that there are 4 major announcments to be made at SDCC...so..there is still a chance that the rights issues may be one of them.
I thought Mara was "in legal limbo" or something similar !?
Of course, we never got any decent explanation why it was the case...
I guess it might be Mara, but there are very few chances it's actually her the Galactic Guardian for 2011. But they now have the BG Teela belly that could be used for Mara, so I guess Mara could be made IF she's not in legal limbo anymore... Mara was not trademarked yet, though.
To be honest, I personally think that the NA figure this year will be either Hydron or Darius. This is based on the trademarks.

I hope so! Wouldn't that be awesome?
I'd pick her up in a second! She is supposed to be in legal limbo but we don't know if something changed in the last couple of months.
Not bad. I would probably buy her.
Odd Man Out
As much as I'd LOVE to get her... I don't think Mattel has the rights to her right now.
Check out my MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE ART & More at my ART BLOG!!!
JafariStew's ART BLOG!! UPDATED 6.5.17!!
Jafaristew...the guy that coined the term "200X."
If we did get Mara I would hope it would be the outfit from the second half of the cartoon. A toga just is not very exciting.
I think they can since the prototype does exist and Mattel registered the prototype back in the 90's. It really hasn't been that long technically and they can just name her "Galactic Protector Mara" or something to that extent.
I don't see what the real problem would be. The prototype and the NA cartoon version looks different in clothes. Matty could probably do it.
You just read a post from the head Honcho of Nerds On A Couch!
You know...I think I might just break out my NA DVDs and try to take some screen captures of Mara...because I'm pretty depressed there are barely ANY pictures of her (or anything from the cartoon really), on the internet.
EDIT: I added two screen caps I took of her. I'll take more later.

What we know about the last three figures are:
1 is female
1 is a Master
1 is a Galactic Guardian
(which is not to say that one of the figures mightn't fit two of those categories.)
All that said, I'd definitely be interested in a Mara figure, but I'd really like to see Flipshot and Hydron first for the Guardians.
"That's very interesting...but silly."
I like Toga Mara better than Warrior Mara.

"Hard work," Jennie Buchte likes to say, "never killed anyone."
Maybe it's the work ethic she developed doing chores on the family farm that accounts for Buchte's long life.
Perhaps it's her Roman Catholic faith. Or maybe it's good genes.
Buchte turns 107 today and plans to celebrate the milestone quietly, with a carry-out dinner from Solomon's Seafood & Grille with her niece and nephew at Southmont of Presbyterian SeniorCare.
Buchte has much in common with her fellow centenarians: she follows a healthy diet (lots of fruits and vegetables), she doesn't drink or smoke and, other than arthritis and back surgery she underwent decades ago, she's enjoyed good health. And, like most people who live more than 100 years, she is optimistic and spiritual, and she laughs a lot.
She has her own theory about longevity.
"I believe in the Lord. Period. That's my secret," said Buchte, spry and impeccably dressed in a charcoal-colored sweater and slacks, her gray hair neatly curled.
Buchte was born in Alabama in 1906, when Theodore Roosevelt was president. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Hawaii and Alaska weren't yet states. Penicillin hadn't been discovered.
The third oldest of 14 children, Buchte never married, devoting her life instead to her work.
"The most important thing for me was work. Work and family," said Buchte. She has outlived all but one of her siblings, but maintains close relationships with her nieces and nephews.
She worked on the family farm in Washington until she was 15, pitching in with the cows, chickens, ducks and pigs and tending the large vegetable garden.
Later, she worked at the Duncan & Miller Glass Co. for 13 years. In between, she spent time as a housekeeper for local doctors, earning $3 a week – and often waking up at 3 a.m. to make biscuits for the wife of one of the doctors.
When she lost her job at the glass company, Buchte moved to New Jersey, where she was hired as an inspector for Westinghouse Co. and excelled at her job in quality control. After work, Buchte and a group of friends often went into New York City, where they skated at Rockefeller Center, watched the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall or grabbed a bite to eat at the Empire State Building restaurant.
"She's special," said Linda Hindes, Buchte's niece. "We all felt like she was our role model when we were growing up. Aunt Jennie was an independent woman. She always took care of herself, she traveled, she was very Cosmopolitan. She was ahead of her time."
And she never forgot to send a birthday card and money to all of her nieces and nephews on their birthdays; she often sent gifts accompanying the cards.
To keep in touch with her family after she moved to New Jersey, Buchte wrote five or six letters a week.
She worked at several electronics companies in New Jersey over the next three decades, until she retired at the age of 72.
"The company I was working for closed and nobody wanted to hire a 72-year-old lady, so that was the end of work for me," she said.
She moved back to Washington County when she was 88, settling into a tidy home in South Strabane Township.
Until she hit 105, Buchte lived by herself. She cooked, cleaned and did her own laundry.
Her former neighbor, Melinda Bennett, said Buchte would call her on the telephone to tell her she had made cookies for Bennett's two children.
"She's amazing. She's so independent, and she never wants to ask anyone for help," said Bennett. "She has a very positive outlook on life."
Buchte reads the newspaper and watches the news every day (she doesn't wear glasses). She voted for Barack Obama, favors gun control and is praying for Pope Francis.
Buchte finds happiness in each day and inspires the staff and residents who see her walking with aides or wheeling through the hallways in her wheelchair every day.
"I have to keep exercising, I need to keep working," she says, proud of her strong arms and firm grip.
And while she enjoys sharing memories (like the times she and her sister climbed out their bedroom window and rode the trolley to Canonsburg, where they would go dancing and return to their beds before their parents awoke), Buchte prefers to look forward.
"Time marches on. Things change," said Buchte. "Just live a good, clean life."

pster wrote: Yes, I noticed the textual difficulties around 3.17, and so decided to not linger very long there.
Still, I want to ask about this nominative business. I was imagining that all the cases are possible. Indeed, that was why I wanted to examine 3.17. I agree with you about all of the other examples being nominative. I have the vague sense that you seem to be leaning towards the view that the nominative is required. Correct me if I'm wrong.
If the nominative is indeed required, then that would give us something meaty to ponder. So what is your view? And do any of the commentaries address this?
pster - thanks. I'm not sure I'm really inclining towards the nominative being absolutely required, though the example at 4.105.1 does stand out by being in the dative. Some scholars have considered amending certain examples to the dative, but others have pointed out that textual corruption could have led to changes having been made either way (nominative to dative or vice versa), and so they are inclined to leave things textually as they are, but to treat the sense of the idiom as unaffected by whether it's nominative or dative.
Andrewes (A Historical Commentary on Thucydides, vol. 5) does suggest a distinction, with the dative adjective meaning 'among the first'; at 8.89.2 he therefore suggests reverting to the reading of MS B, ἐν τοῖς πρώτοις, which Bekker had amended to ἐν τοῖς πρῶτοι, as Andrewes wants the restrictive shade of meaning here. However, his logic doesn't seem watertight, since, as I mentioned before, he also attempts to take 8.68.4 (καὶ Θηραμένης ὁ τοῦ Ἅγνωνος ἐν τοῖς ξυγκαταλύουσι τὸν δῆμον πρῶτος ἦν) as 'a weak superlative', and restrictive in sense, even though we have the nominative there!
So I'm not sure how much further the nominative/dative distinction will actually take us. It partly depends, I suppose, on whether one is willing and able to 'unpack' the construction in a certain way (e.g. along the lines of the unusual example at 8.68.4 quoted above), and whether one thinks that this takes the meaning in a certain direction.
Best wishes,

The truest answer to violence is love. The truest answer to death is life. The only prevention for violence is for the heart to have no violence within it. We cannot prevent evil through any system devised by mankind. But we can grapple with evil and defeat it, but only with love—real love.

text: Looks like they charged each item individually for me as well. MotUC figures were $23.86 x3 and the Black Lion was $76.91. That works out to be $10.89 in tax and $12.80 in shipping. Sounds about right. Pretty odd to do 4 pre-auths but as long as I'm not paying extra and there was no hitch in the get along, it works for me.

BP approves sewage rate increase
At its Sept. 9th council meeting, Bethel Park approved a proposal to raise sewage rates.
The current monthly service charge of $10 per premise will be increased to $13 a month beginning in November. The $6.34 fee for every 1,000 gallons of water used will be raised in increments over the next year. Beginning in November, that rate will be raised to $7. In May 2014, the price per 1,000 gallons would be $7.40, with that rate being increased to $7.60 in November 2014, according to Joe Villella, finance director.
The motion to increase sewer rates was approved by a vote of 7-1. Councilman Jack Allen was absent. Councilman Don Harrison cast the dissenting vote. He had tried unsuccessfully to have the plan amended to have the rate increase begin in January instead of November.
Municipal officials said the increase was necessitated by several factors including upgrades to the sewer system because of the ALCOSAN consent decree and the decrease in sewer fee revenue.
Earlier this year, council approved a $26 million bond issue to finance upgrades to the sewage treatment plant the municipality shares with South Park Township
Council President Tim Moury said water usage is down and the municipality received $400,000 less than the projected sewage revenue last year.
"The (sewage fee) base rate has not been raised in several years," Moury said.
The council president added that although the sewage rate is increasing municipal officials are projecting a 2014 budget with the only increase in the millage rate being the .34, which will be dedicated to the volunteer fire company. Voters approved that increase through a referendum in the May primary.
Council is expected to approve the budget at its November meeting.

The sixth-ranked Gators cruise to a victory over the rival Seminoles.
TALLAHASSEE — There were no last-second shots to worry about. No critical last-minute possessions.
Florida's torrid 2012-13 start translated away from the O'Connell Center in its first true road game of the season. With more balance on offense and another smothering effort on defense, the No. 6 Gators overwhelmed rival Florida State 72-47, silencing the announced crowd of 10,593 at the Donald L. Tucker Center.
There were plenty of hugs to go around following Florida's most lopsided win over the Seminoles since a 96-61 win in Gainesville in 1999. Patric Young had the line of the night, calling teammate Scottie Wilbekin "the basketball Honey Badger" following his five-steal effort against FSU. Overall, the Gators had 14 steals and scored 32 points off 22 FSU turnovers.
"I feel like Florida State is very organized in terms of what they do offensively," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "And I think what we tried to do is be disruptive to that flow."
Mike Rosario and Kenny Boynton led the Gators with 14 points apiece. Michael Frazier had 12 points off the bench and Young had 10 points and 8 rebounds.
Rosario scored 9 of his 14 points in the first half, making four of five shots to help the Gators build a 35-15 halftime lead. The Gators effectively mixed zone, man and press defenses to hold FSU to 25 percent shooting in the first half.
"My whole mindset coming into this game was to be aggressive from the jump," Rosario said. "From the start, I thought we did a great job as a whole team just being locked in and being on edge, and I think we took care of business the first four minutes and that really determined the game."
Rosario said he had been putting extra shooting work in practice. He came into the game shooting 40.4 percent from the floor, but made 6 of 10 shots on Wednesday night.
"He's streaky sometimes and he just had one of those games where he shot the ball well," Donovan said. "I thought he gave us a very good lift offensively in the first half because the game was very, very physical. It was hard to come by baskets for both teams. It was tough to finish around the rim."
Florida came into the game second nationally in scoring defense at 48.5 points per game. Wilbekin and Boynton took turns guarding Florida State senior guard Michael Snaer, who was held scoreless in the first half. Snaer, an All-ACC first team guard last season, was held to 10 points on 3 of 8 shooting.
"They mix defenses just enough to keep you out of rhythm," Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton said. "They play contain defense. They don't commit silly fouls."
The Gators (7-0) didn't play complacent coming into its game with its highest ranking since the end of the 2007 season. Erik Murphy was scratched from the starting lineup with a hip pointer, but contributed off the bench with 9 points and 7 rebounds.
Florida went with a three-guard starting lineup of Boynton, Rosario and Wilbekin, who had 5 points, 5 assists and 5 steals.
"He's a great defender," Donovan said. "He and (Will) Yeguete can guard a lot of different people, a lot of different positions."
The Gators picked on FSU freshman guard Montay Brandon, who had 3 turnovers in 16 minutes.
"That's just what we try to do, we try to make teams uncomfortable for 40 minutes, especially when we get into our press," Young said. "Try to make guys do things that they are not comfortable doing."
Florida forced three of FSU's 12 first-half turnovers off the press.
"Once you get turnover after turnover, you lose composure and your team starts losing their togetherness," Young said. "It led to another one after another one and their body language went down and we just capitalized on that. We didn't take our foot off the gas."
Up 35-15 at halftime, the Gators put the game away with a 14-4 run to start the second half. The Gators led by as many as 33 points in the second half before emptying the bench to pick up their fourth straight win over the rival Seminoles.
Florida has won its first 7 games by an average margin of 25.2 points. The Gators will have a 10-day break before its showdown in the desert Dec. 15 at Arizona.
"Our coaches are doing a great job preparing us," Young said. "We're doing a great job trying to improve ourselves and coming into practice very focused with a humble mind."
Notes: Boynton (1,690 career points) passed Stacey Poole (1,678 points) for fifth on UF's all-time scoring list with his 14-point effort. …The 25-point margin of victory also was UF's most lopsided win against the Seminoles ever in Tallahassee. … No. 1 2013 basketball recruit Andrew Wiggins was in attendance on his official visit to Florida State. Wiggins is mulling scholarship offers from both FSU and Kentucky.

Trunk Shows Boutique hosting fundraiser for TELI
Times, they are changing, and when it comes to the way that area nonprofits raise funds, The Early Learning Institute is no exception. The organization, which provides programs and services for children with developmental delays through early intervention and early childhood education services, has shifted its focus away from black-tie galas to low-key happy hour events.
"We are focusing more on these happy hour events – they just fit who we are better," said TELI Executive Director Kara Rutowski. "They are more intimate and we can host them at different venues and locations all over the area."
On July 22, Trunk Shows Boutique in Upper St. Clair will host Cupcakes & Cosmos, a benefit for TELI. Cupcakes from Sweet House Bake Shop are on the menu, as are cosmos and special discounts to those who stop in to shop from 5-9 p.m. that evening. Trunk Shows owner, Theres Lucot, is generously donating a portion of her sales during the evening to TELI.
Lucot is no stranger to these type of fundraising events, and said that they do very well. "We can fit as many as 70 people in the store at one time, and we welcome anybody and everybody who wants to participate," she said.
The discounts of the evening are not being revealed prior, but it is a great chance to get a deal on the designer clothing, jewelry, accessories and gifts that the store carries while supporting a cause. Men are welcome, too – they'll receive a complimentary cigar.
The event is an open house – there is no formal program or agenda. "People feel more comfortable because they don't have to get dressed up and sit at a formal dinner. And, the structure allows us to meet the demands of people's busy schedules today," Rutowski said.
Rutowski said the fundraising goal is between $2,000 and $2,500 for the event.
Registration for Cupcakes& Cosmos is $25 and can be completed online at www.telicupcakes.org. Walk ins to the event are also welcome. Trunk Shows Boutique is located at 1815 Washington Road, Upper St. Clair.

You're itching to get out of your hair rut -- same color, same cut for years -- and into a dramatic new do. Before committing to an extreme hair makeover, most experts agree you should start with small, well-considered steps rather than all at once, and leave yourself open to some unexpected discoveries.
"I love when women are open to experimenting," says Jon Patrick, a Beverly Hills colorist and stylist, "but I want the risks to be well-calculated."
Here's advice from the pros on how to achieve a hair makeover that will turn heads without leaving your own head spinning.
Growing out HairIf you've decided to go from chin length to shoulder grazing, don't kiss your stylist goodbye for the next year. Remember, hair grows from the scalp -- not the ends -- says Michael Shaun Corby, a hair guru who primps runway models for New York's Fashion Week. "Left on its own, short hair will grow into something resembling a mullet in the back and unwieldy feathers in the front," he says.
The most graceful way to grow your hair out is to establish what Corby calls "a clean perimeter," with a one-length bob that falls somewhere between the jawline and the middle of the neck. See your stylist every six weeks to trim and maintain that line while the underneath layers catch up. If you're growing out bangs, keep one quarter as fringe, while your stylist begins incorporating the remaining bangs into the bob.Cutting HairAsk yourself what look you're really going for. "Sometimes women don't really want short hair," says Patrick. "What they want is the appearance, at least now and then, of short hair. If you think that may be the case, have your stylist show you how to put your hair up in a chignon or into a looped bun." If you're going short for the sake of convenience, keep in mind that a short do might actually require more upkeep since you won't have the option of pulling your hair back into a ponytail or bun. You'll also need trims every four to six weeks to maintain the shape.
Bring photos to show your stylist what you mean by "short-ish" or "a few inches." And before you commit to a new style, "ask your hairdresser what it's going to take for you to duplicate the salon results on your own," say Damien Miano of the Miano Viel Salon in New York City. If you have thick, wavy hair, for example, you'll need to log a long session with your hair dryer and flatiron to get it to bend into a Victoria Beckham bob.Transform Your Color With No RegretsRemember when Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow all became brunettes a few years ago? "Suddenly I had all these blondes who said they wanted to go dark," says colorist Andrea Sher of Anagen Salon in New York City. "I'd say, 'No, what you really want is a change.'"
An all-at-once change doesn't allow for incremental and dazzling shifts. A blonde who thought she wanted to go mink brown may feel reinvented with a few caramel streaks, while a brunette dreaming of Gwen Stefani platinum may discover she looks fabulous in Debra Messing auburn. "When women say they want a dramatic color change, it's usually because they want to brighten their look," explains Viel. "Sometimes the solution can be as simple as adding lowlights to hair that has been over-highlighted."
Schedule a consultation with your colorist to discuss flattering shades for your skin tone. If you want to go lighter, ask how many shades your hair can be lifted or bleached without causing damage and how many visits it will take. Finally, be sure to talk about upkeep. "Any change that takes you more than two or three shades lighter or darker is going to require a lot of maintenance," warns Viel. "And straight hair will need more frequent touchups than curly hair because when roots grow in, the line of demarcation is much more obvious."

Peters resident pens book on the derriere
Peters Township resident Marylu Zuk is now a published author with the recent release of her book "Whose A&& Is That?" Yes, the && are substituted for SS. And, yes, the book deals with a woman's perspective of her derriere.
When describing the 51-page book, Zuk said "the title may sound saucy, but there is nothing vulgar."
She had the title before she wrote the text and that came from a time she was trying on a pair of jeans and took a look at her tush in a mirror. That's when she proclaimed aloud, "Whose ass is that?"
A few years later, the book became a reality.
"I am very happy with the outcome," she said. "It's clever and adorable."
And it's funny. Written in poetry form, the book is classified as a storybook for women. Zuk said many who have purchased the book do so for friends, as Mothers' Day gifts or for other events that appeal mainly to women.
She's lived in Peters Township with her husband and son for 10 years and once worked for America West airlines in Arizona after completing college. The native of Beaver Falls also worked for the Pittsburgh Technical Institute. Currently, she works as a management consultant and in education research. Her business card lists author, humorous speaker and sales optimist.
She successfully managed the maze of publishers and managers to reach her goal to produce "Whose A&& Is That?" The book is published by The Artists' Orchard, which lists a post office box in Upper St. Clair.
The illustrator, Traycee Bosle, lives in the South Hills. The two met through networking and Bosle is the sister-in-law of a friend.
Zuk has always loved to write poems but found many publishers do not accept books of poetry. She laughingly refers to her book as Dr. Seuss meets Erma Bombeck, and says the book is "more about body image and how you accept yourself."
Men also have hang-ups about their bodies, but perhaps not as critical as women.
"Men are more subtle, but I believe the pressure of the media makes it harder for woman," Zuk said.
She's been thinking about her next topic, but nothing is finalized. How can you top a book about the butt? Asked to summarize the book, Zuk rattled off a verse, "Don't be defined by the size of your behind."
The book is available online at barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com and is for sale at MoZaic Boutique in Bridgeville.
"I am so excited to be able to support another local entrepreneur who is following her dream," said MoZaic Boutique owner Nancy Gilmore.
The softback price is $14, hardback cost is $26 and it is available on Kindle for $5.99.

Styling Steps
1 . Apply Moisturizer
Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.
2 . Use a Paddle Brush
A paddle brush is used for detangling the hair and can be used to smooth out straight hair when blow-drying or styling. It is a must have for every household.
3 . Blow-dry Using a Paddle Brush
Working in sections starting from the back, place the paddle brush close to the roots and drag it through the strands slowly, taking care not to overheat your hair. Once dry, continue to a new section, completing the back, the sides and then the top section last of all.
4 . Part to the Left
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your left eye and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even left part. A side part is great for longer face shapes because it creates the illusion of width.
5 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
6 . Pin Hair
Once your hairstyle is complete, hold your hair into place and then pin your hair into your desired direction.

Two former Charleroi Area School District cafeteria workers are headed to trial on charges they stole more than $93,000 in lunch money and gambled it away over a two-year span.
Stacy Lee Shipley, 50, and Sheila Ann Cook, 49, both of Charleroi, appeared before District Judge Larry Hopkins Monday and waived their cases to court after prosecutors agreed to withdraw the most serious charge against them.
Both women were originally charged with dealing with proceeds of criminal activity, a first-degree felony that carries a sentence to 9 to 16 months in jail, said Shipley's attorney, Raymond Amatangelo.
Shipley is now charged with theft by unlawful taking, theft by failure to make required disposition of funds and forgery.
Cook is charged with criminal conspiracy to commit theft and receiving stolen property.
The women will remain free on $50,000 unsecured bond pending trial.
According to the criminal complaint filed by state police Trooper Matthew Gavrish, Shipley was responsible for handling the daily deposits for cafeteria sales at Charleroi High School-Middle School and took the deposits for her own personal use between Aug. 1, 2010, and Oct. 29, 2012.
On multiple occasions, Shipley allegedly did not place the deposits in the school safe or in the school administration office, which was the recommended standard procedure.
Instead, police said she would take the deposits home, keeping the cash and returning the checks to the school, where she would alter her daily sales deposit slips at her register. Police said Shipley would keep the cash processed through her register that day and document it as sales being paid with check. She would then allegedly place the stolen checks, which already had been processed, back into her drawer so it would balance for the day.
Police alleged that Shipley split the stolen proceeds with Cook, and the two would use the money to gamble at The Meadows Casino, with the understanding that any winnings would be split 50/50.
Cook said she knew the money Shipley was giving her was coming from stolen cafeteria funds, but she said she "got caught up in the thrill of it all," according to Gavrish's report.
Cook said the two would plan trips to the casino when Shipley would tell her she had "extra money."
Police began investigating the theft after being contacted by Charleroi Superintendent Brad Ferko, who reported that an audit determined the cafeteria was short $93,987.
On Nov. 12, police met with Shipley, informing her of the pending criminal charges. At that time, Shipley admitted to stealing the money and provided details on how she stole it, police said. She also allegedly admitted to sharing the money with Cook and said that the two women spent almost all, if not all, of the money at the casino.
Cook was charged a month later.
Police obtained a search warrant and presented it to The Meadows, requesting Players Club information for the women during that time. The results showed that the women's combined "coin in play" was $350,482.
Both Amatangelo and Cook's attorney, Russell Korner, a county assistant public defender, said their clients are remorseful for their actions.
Amatangelo also said Shipley, a lifelong resident of the Charleroi area with two children currently attending school in the district, has "stepped up to the plate" and "hasn't tried to hide" anything from investigators. He said Shipley is attending Gambler's Anonymous meetings and has placed her name on the list banning her from entry to The Meadows.

What's being said
My guess is that the in-house lawyer that lost his job was likely pressured by the "client" and did not lead the charge to do what was done here. While I could be wrong, all too often, it is the "client" (a.k.a. the internal dude on the business side who pays the bills) who is profit motivated and does not want to admit to having to rectify anything that will impact their budgets.

Rebecca Kelley said for those who knew her brother-in-law, what he did Sunday afternoon should come as no surprise.
Vince (Vinny) Kelley was shot and killed after jumping into the back seat of a car as he tried to stop the robber who held up the Citizens Bank inside Giant Eagle at Strabane Square, South Strabane Township.
Kelley and his friend, Jared Cameron, were inside the store when they heard a woman scream and saw the robber jump back over the counter and head for the door closest to the store's pharmacy. Kelley and Cameron, among others, followed the man outside. Kelley continued the chase even after the robber turned and pointed a gun at his pursuers.
Cameron said Kelley had jumped in the back seat of the robber's car and was reaching for his knife when he was shot. Kelley fell out of the open car door as the robber fled around the back of the store.
"When I married into this family, I learned what a big heart the brothers all had," said Rebecca Kelley, who is married to Vinny's brother, Mark Kelley. "Sometimes you have to say 'no,' but he didn't know how to do that, and this is where it got him.
"Nobody was surprised what he did," she added. "What he did Sunday, had he survived, he probably wouldn't have thought twice about doing it again."
Rebecca Kelley said her brother-in-law lived for his family and friends. His daughter, Sierra Kelley, and her 1-month-old son, Romeo Porter, meant the world to him. She said his daughter and other family members have yet to grasp their loss.
"His brothers are besides themselves," she said. "He was the oldest, and they looked up to him. He was their hero. When their father died 14 years ago, he became the father figure in their lives."
Kelley traveled a lot with his job in the gas industry. Instead of paying rent or mortgage on a place of his own, he would stay with family and friends when he was back home.
Motorcycle riding was his second love, said his sister-in-law. Kelley was involved with the Brothers of the Hammer club and had been planning to go with them on a ride to Johnstown.
Family, friends and his motorcycle were not Kelley's only interests.
"Two or three nights a week, he was up at Pancake Skate 'n' Whirl, volunteering to teach kids how to roller skate," said his sister-in-law. "He also loved to dance."
Kelley gave himself the nickname, "Mystro."
South Strabane police Detectives Ken Torboli and Michael Schidlmeier continue to review video surveillance from businesses in the area, including those at Strabane Square and Trinity Point.
"All the businesses are being cooperative with us," Torboli said.
Schidlmeier said the robber used an open umbrella to shield himself as he robbed the teller.
"He was well-versed in the layout of the store and bank," Torboli said. "He was conscious of the placement of the cameras."
Torboli said South Strabane police continue to work with the FBI and state police, but as yet there is no confirmed link between Sunday's robbery and any other holdup in the area. The robber is about 5 feet 9 inches or 5 feet 10 inches tall. He wore a straw hat to mask his appearance.
While the FBI and state police are using their resources to help locate the robber's vehicle, the detectives still want to hear from anyone who may have encountered an erratically driven white, four-door car in the area about 2:30 p.m. Sunday. The car was well-maintained, but police are not certain of the year, make or model. The car went around the back of the Giant Eagle before traveling down the access road and Route 19, where it headed south in the direction of Interstate 70.
Anyone who might have seen the vehicle or has any other information is asked to call township police at 724-225-8111.
A vigil held Monday night at the request of Kelley's daughter was a reality check for the family, said Rebecca Kelley.
"It just showed how much the man was loved," she said. "And that means a lot."
A friend and fellow member of the Brothers of the Hammer will ride Kelley's Kawasaki Vulcan Mean Streak motorcycle in his funeral procession Thursday.

Washington County Children and Youth Services will get a fresh start in 2013 with a new director and new judge to oversee the department.
Early this year, former CYS director Lori Harbert resigned after Washington County Judge John F. DiSalle, who had handled CYS cases, expressed "grave concern" about the administration of the agency, which includes a staff of between 70 and 80 employees. She was replaced by Kimberly J. Rogers of Jefferson, Greene County, in October.
Now, according to the administrative assignments for 2013 from President Judge Debbie O'Dell Seneca, DiSalle will be replaced by Judge Katherine B. Emery to hear CYS cases. DiSalle will now preside over orphans' court, which handles guardianship cases and cases involving wills, estates, trusts and probate matters.
Emery and DiSalle also will handle criminal jury and non-jury trials, which promise to consume most of their time because the county will be down two judges after Judge Paul Pozonsky and Judge Janet Moschetta Bell announced their retirements in 2012.
Both seats are to be filled by special election this year. In the meantime, the county has been utilizing senior judges to lighten the caseload.
Under the order, Emery also will serve as back-up judge to O'Dell Seneca in mental health court. DiSalle will serve as back-up judge to Emery in juvenile court and to Judge Gary Gilman in family law.
O'Dell Seneca will continue to preside over civil jury trials, including asbestos litigation, and will handle mental health procedures and appeals while presiding over mental health court. She also will be responsible for license suspension appeals, mortgage foreclosure and veterans courts, while overseeing district judges, serving as chairman of the jury selection commission and court representative to the county salary board.
Gilman will handle divorce, custody, domestic relations, and protection-from-abuse cases, as well as summary appeals.
The year's jury trial term scheduled is as follows: Jan. 7 through 18; Feb. 25 through March 8; April 1 through 12; May 6 through 17; June 10 through 21; July 8 through 19; Sept. 9 through 20; Oct. 21 through Nov. 1, and Dec. 2 through 13.

Kim Kardashian has resurfaced for the first time (visually, at least) since giving birth to daughter North West seven weeks ago.
On Friday, Kanye West's girlfriend popped up via satellite on Kris Jenner's talk show "Kris" to give her mom a surprise message.
"Hey mom, I just wanted to say congratulations on your new show. I'm sorry I couldn't be there in person, but I'm just loving life a little bit too much at home right now," the first time mom exclaimed. "But I watch you every single day and you are so amazing. You really are born to do this. I just want to say I love you and have an amazing show."
Jenner was clearly moved by her daughter's sentiments.
"You did make me cry," a teary Kris said. "Thank you Kimmy."
Earlier during the show, Jenner explained to her co-host for the day Sean "Diddy" Combs that Kim, 32, was working on getting back to her pre-baby size (although Jenner told Diddy he has been "reading way too many tabloids" if he thought Kim had already "snapped back" to her original weight).
"The good news is she's eating really well, and she's working out a little bit and she's nursing," Kris revealed. "She's doing all the right things to get back to a healthy place."

The Soap Box Derby was a popular event nationwide in the mid-20th century. Local events like this one, presumably in Washington, qualified young drivers for regional competition, with a few lucky kids competing for the world championship at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio.
Although this photo or similar ones were published in the local newspaper, there is no date on this photo and so we don't know where to start looking. We're hoping readers can identify some of the people in the picture so we can solve this mystery.
The Soap Box Derby began in Dayton in 1934 and moved to Akron the next year. At its peak in the 1960s, the championship races attracted crowds exceeding 70,000. It's still going on, although its popularity has diminished.
As can be seen on the boys' T-shirts under magnification, this race was sponsored by The Observer and The Reporter. That means the photo was taken before May 1967, when the two papers were merged and became the Observer-Reporter.
If you have some idea when and where this race took place, or who some of the participants and spectators are, email Park Burroughs, retired executive editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call and leave a message for him along with your telephone number at 724-222-2200, extension 2400.

By Shelley Levitt
Here's all that's standing between you and your most beautiful, most manageable hair: a tiny bit of self-knowledge. Simply knowing your natural hair type will help you achieve smooth hair that holds its style through the whole day (curls that are defined and controlled, fine hair that doesn't flop midday, etc.).
"If you understand your hair," says Jeni Thomas, a research scientist on hair and scalp health, "you not only know what it is capable -- and not capable -- of doing, but how best to work with it as well."
The Science of Hair TypesThink Avatar is the most important 3-D breakthrough? Consider this: The same kind of 3-D technology used in medicine to image and measure bone density is also being used to study the way multiple hair fibers interact. What researchers have discovered, says Thomas, is that different types of hair texture create different kinds of 3-D structures. This revelation is leading to customized product lines that can spell the end of bad hair days.
We now know that the same shampoo and conditioning ingredients and formulations that keep curly hair shiny and healthy won't give fine hair the body and volume it needs. Curly hair fibers form an intricate network that can act like a filter, trapping ingredients from shampoo and conditioners; what's needed to prevent damage are products that minimize the friction between strands.
Fine hair fibers, on the other hand, arrange themselves in a parallel pattern that acts more like a funnel, so ingredients that moisturize and condition slip away rather than stick. The fix is a formula that helps those reparative ingredients grab on and stay.The Basic Hair TypesAlmost all hair -- 98 percent -- falls into four different structures:
Why Hair Type MattersProducts formulated for your hair type will make styling easier; on the other hand, the wrong ingredients and formula will have you waging a losing war with your locks -- struggling to get the style you want, frustrated when it doesn't hold. For example, as Thomas points out, "thicker hair tends to be more frizz-prone than finer hair, so for medium-thick hair to hold a style throughout the day, ingredients that offer hair some humidity resistance are extremely helpful."
To keep fine hair from wilting midday, however, prep it with a shampoo containing polymers boosting its cleaning power and allowing these fragile strands to stand up to the weight of accumulated scalp oils, dirt and yesterday's styling residue. Look for shampoos, conditioners and styling products that are especially designed for your hair type; you'll find customized lines on your drugstore shelves.The Right Cut for Your Hair Type

Horror Realm hosts anti-Valentine's Day party
The love-scorned and fans of the macabre have an outlet for their frustration with Horror Realm's Bloody Valentine party. The Feb. 9 non-romantic, horror-themed party takes place at the Crown Plaza Pittsburgh South hotel.
No need to get all dolled up – dress is casual or horror-themed apparel. The evening kicks off with a comfort food dinner buffet featuring a pasta bar, salad, breadsticks and dessert station. The Muzik Machine DJ Service will play a special no-love-song breakup medley during dinner, followed by dance music. Guests will receive a complimentary glass of blood (sangria) and a cash bar will be open. A Shredathon will allow attendees to bring a photo of their ex to put through a shredder and a horror trivia contest featuring questions on films with a Valentine or love gone bad theme are also part of the evening's activities.
The party runs from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. and is open to singles and couples 21 and over. Admission is $25 per person or $45 per couple (any two people attending together). Tickets may be purchased in advance at http://www.showclix.com/event/BloodyValentineParty or at the door (cash only). For more information, visit www.horrorrealmcon.com.

Further readings for the Panasonic Lumix DMC GX1
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
We've had the opportunity to analyze the image quality of Panasonic's high-end 16-Mpix Lumix DMC-GX7 mirrorless camera with over 70% of the native mount lenses that are currently available (for it). We've scrutinized a total of 33 Panasonic, Olympus and Sigma made lenses to assess the imaging characteristics specifically with the new camera. Read on to find out which of those models you should be using, and which, if any, you should try and avoid.
The GX7 is Panasonic's classy replacement for the rangefinder style GX1 and features a new, improved 16-Mpix sensor, a tilting widescreen viewfinder and rear screen plus built-in WIFI connectivity. The magnesium alloy bodied camera is also the first from Panasonic to feature in-body stabilization, but just how well does this $999 (body only) mirrorless model perform
Panasonic's entry-level DMC GF6 sees a return to a more conventional control layout and adds several useful features including a touch-sensitive, tilting monitor and easy wireless connectivity with smart-phones via WiFi with NFC capability. The new camera also features a 16-Mpix sensor, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Panasonic is adding its ninth model to its growing Lumix G-series lineup. In July, the Japanese electronics giant announced the Lumix DMC G5 would replace the Lumix DMC G3. Like its predecessor, the G5 taps the increasingly popular mirrorless Micro Four Thirds technology that Panasonic co-developed back in 2008 with its cross-town Tokyo rival Olympus.
Olympus caused a sensation when it revived the legendary OM line that had enjoyed its heyday in the silver halide era. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 successfully revisits the OM design in terms of its ergonomics and workmanship. Olympus has quite precisely taken advantage of this new family in its line of compact hybrid micro 4:3 cameras to introduce a new 16 Mpix Live MOS sensor. What is this new sensor all about? Does it represent an improvement over current Pen sensors? Does it help the micro 4:3 category to catch up with the APS-C hybrids (with the Sony NEX in the lead)? Our sensor review provides the answers.
The Lumix DMC-GF5 is a new light-weight (225g) and very compact amateur hybrid camera. It features a 12-megapixel sensor, Full HD video recording, a better-designed touchscreen, a new graphical user interface, ultra-rapid AF, etc.
Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality.
After its great success over the past several years in refurbishing its PEN line, Olympus is continuing its quest for innovation by updating other legendary cameras of the past.
Here are the results for the latest camera in Panasonic's micro-four-thirds line, the Panasonic Lumix DMC GX1. When equipped with a 14-42mm pancake lens and lateral-lever zoom, this is a very compact camera indeed.

Today's guest contributor, Janna Robinson, is the host of DIY Network's Hollywood Hi-Tech and a renowned expert on lifestyle technology. Janna's mission is to educate and empower people about technology by making it approachable, fashionable and fun.
I love all things high-tech and I appreciate a beautifully designed home, so it makes me feel good when I combine both. Enter the concept of "techorating," the seamless blend of devices, services and style that will help you transform your everyday spaces and places into functional miracles.
We're all busy and expect things NOW. Thanks to services like Spotify and Netflix, we can access our entertainment anywhere, so shouldn't the same be true for the information we use every day? To help, Microsoft Office is now available as a software service–Office 365 Home Premium–so everything from your documents and family calendars to shopping lists roam with you whether you are on a PC, phone or tablet.
Streamline your life
It's a fact we don't always manage our time wisely, but we don't have to make big changes to make an impact. Any little tip or trick that I can share with folks to help them save time, be better organized and streamline their lives is huge. For example, use OneNote to keep a shopping list up-to-date and accessible on your phone. Microsoft's new Office 365 provides the right tools to be more productive and efficient by making it easier than ever to manage our projects, stay connected, organize and personalize our lives.
I'm a bicoastal entrepreneur, and I'm often working with people around the globe. As well, I'm getting married in a few months. (Might I suggest OneNote for all your wedding planning needs!) My wedding planning is even trickier because I'm not in the same state or time zone as the event. But through Skype videoconferencing–one of the great features included with an Office 365 Home Premium subscription–I've been able to view flower arrangements, table linens, cake choices and many other wedding items from anywhere.
SkyDrive gives me access to all my project content in Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint, and on my smartphone, tablet, desktop and laptop, anytime and from virtually anywhere in one location. And because Office 365 automatically saves things to SkyDrive, I'll be able to access documents from anywhere.
By using the new Word templates, my documents are more clear, concise and visually appealing. New comments features eliminate a lot of back and forth via emails and phone calls. I rely on Excel for all my home remodel budgets, spreadsheets, timelines, reports and charts. SkyDrive allows me to send a link of my files to people and to set viewing and editing permissions. I love knowing my team can work together seamlessly and is always up-to-date with the latest information.
Outlook keeps my to-do lists in check, tracks my calendar, organizes my contacts and syncs my emails. I'm able to easily share my schedule, which eliminates the phrase, "what works best for your schedule?" And through the improved search function, I can quickly find emails, attachments and contacts using keywords.
Here are some examples of getting the most out of technology and saving some precious time.
The kitchen nook
Mom can sit at her command post with her tablet and spill-resistant keyboard and catch up on emails. Organizing her family's busy schedules in the kitchen is easier (and sometimes safer) and she can keep an eye on dinner. A tablet mount on the fridge allows her to follow recipes easily when they are at eye-level, front and center.
Home office trend
The slim design and state-of-the-art feel of the Microsoft Surface tablet makes it perfect for any room in the house. It's an especially good fit with sit-and-stand desks, which promote better circulation, rev-up metabolism, increase productivity and enhance concentration. Use it also to Skype, share docs with contacts via SkyDrive, and assemble PowerPoint presentations.
A little nudge to get you started
There are tons of online resources that can save you time and money as you tackle your next project. A DIY calculator can help you properly budget your home projects. Home design apps can help you design floor plans, place your furniture and take measurements on the spot.
Online painting tools allow you to download a paint fan deck or upload your own photos so you can visualize and see virtually your paint color candidates on your walls.
Need some inspiration for your next report or presentation? Visit the Office Store for hundreds of newly designed apps that can help you get a head start on any project.
When it comes to techorating, simple, smart and effective is what I go for. Same rules apply for software, which is why I'm so excited about the new Office. A beautiful blend of form and function, Office 365 Home Premium is truly designed for the way we work and live today.
In addition to consulting to celebrities and non-celebrities alike on how to bring the latest technologies into their homes, Janna Robinson has appeared as a tech expert and correspondent in the media, including EXTRA, TODAY, Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, Dress My Nest, LXTV, TIME, Real Simple, Home, InStyle Home and Sound & Vision.

We've reached the point where my very existence embarrasses my children. It seems that, almost overnight, I went from competent, intelligent, eyes-on-the-back-of-my-head mother to a nitwit who can't even pronounce things right.
The first signs of this came when, on a trip into New York City, my friend stopped her car at a light in Midtown. We noticed that a car had pulled up alongside us, and there were teenagers in the back. My friend cranked the radio to a '70s song and winked, and the two of us began dancing in our seats, arms flailing and hair all wild. The two teenage girls in our back seat howled in horror and dove onto the floor.
"What do you care?" I asked. "You don't know those people and will never see them again." But that didn't matter. When you are a teenager, the only thing more embarrassing than your mother is your mother dancing in public.
Teenagers are bailing out of Facebook for this reason. My son, who at one time kept a running commentary on Facebook, has abandoned it for Twitter. When I asked him about it, he said there are just too many "mothers and aunts" on there. Apparently, we cramp their style, making it more difficult for them to express their every thought about how boring school can be, and making it harder to post videos of knuckleheads taking stun gun shots to the crotch.
I think I might have set up a Twitter account awhile back, but never tweeted anything. The latest news suggests that Twitter is the preferred social media of professionals. (The morning news shows regularly include Tweets of celebrities and politicians in their stories. This is lazy newsgathering. Why make an effort to reach someone to ask a question when you can just download the sentence from Twitter?)
I don't post much on Facebook, mainly because nothing I do on a daily basis is interesting enough. But young people think every little thought they have is worthy of sharing. For kids, there are few unexpressed emotions or ideas left invalidated.
And maybe that's why I'm such an embarrassment. Social media has swelled kids' heads. And how can a mom compete with that?
I guess it's always been this way. I didn't like it when my mother arrived in her VW Beetle to pick me up from band camp. There was a time she showed up wearing sunglasses atop her regular glasses and I thought I would die if anyone saw.
But here's the part I missed: Teenagers are never embarrassed by other kids' mothers. Those mothers are more or less invisible, and had I been paying attention, I would have realized that no matter how embarrassing I found my own mother to be, the shame was my own. Nobody else cared.
My son and daughter like to eat at Chipotle, and we go about once a month when we're in that part of town. Recently, I took my daughter and her friend on an errand, and said, "How about dinner at Chipotle?" And I pronounced it Chip-POTT-lee. Laughter came from the back seat.
"It's Chip-OAT-lee," Grace said. And then they snickered some more.
Now, when we're driving around, my kids will sometimes make fun of how I pronounced that word. It's always when they're asking me to take them there to eat. But I, being the uncool mom behind the wheel, crank up the '70s music and sing. And I keep driving right past.

Preppy Geo Crib Sheeting
- Overview
Add punchy color and a fun geometric pattern to the nursery with this organic cotton sheeting. The allover design pairs beautifully with the other pieces in our Harper bedding collection.
- Made of 100% organic cotton percale. A percale weave is a tightly woven weave, which gives the fabric a soft matte finish while providing durability and ultra breathability.
- Use only a fitted bottom sheet that is specifically made for crib use (Pottery Barn Kids fitted sheets have elastic around the top and bottom, rather than around the entire edge, for added safety), along with a mattress pad and/or a waterproof pad.
- Four-sided skirt fits around the entire crib and is tailored with split corners for easy placement around posts.
- If you use a blanket, ensure it is tucked around the sides of the crib mattress and covers your baby only up to the chest.
- Do not place decorative pillows, quilts, comforters, sheepskins or stuffed animals in the crib while your baby is sleeping, as they may prevent proper air circulation around your baby's face.
- When your child is able to pull up to a standing position, you should remove the crib bumper.

With the upcoming launch of Windows 8, we designed Outlook to work great on the new breed of touch devices that will become mainstream over the next few years. Outlook 2013 adapts itself based on the device you are using while still being the Outlook that you are familiar with. When you boot Outlook on a tablet, you'll notice that the layout changes to provide a great touch experience! Likewise, when you boot Outlook on a device with a small screen, you'll notice that Outlook makes the most of screen real estate and puts your content in the spotlight.
On Windows 8 tablets, the navigation pane and ribbon are collapsed to give you maximum real estate for actual content. This also means your thumb can reach the message list comfortably to scroll. Outlook also turns on Touch Mode by default for tablets. This triggers certain optimizations that make it easier to use Outlook on hand held touch devices.
One of the most notable touch mode enhancements and one of our favorite features is the Touch Actions Bar. It's conveniently located on the right edge of the screen so you can use your thumb to quickly perform common actions such as Reply, Delete, Flag and Mark Unread.
In touch mode, the Mail, Calendar, People, and Task icons are bigger so you can easily tap it to change modules. Folder names, ribbon buttons and the Quick Action Toolbar (QAT) buttons are spaced out to make them easier to touch.
We did not forget the calendar when we started designing for touch devices! Try swiping to switch between Day/Week views and pinching to switch between different views. It's fast, fun, and natural.
On a convertible device like a touchscreen laptop, Outlook may not default you into the touch optimized settings. But don't worry, you can still get all the goodness of touch mode! Click on the drop down in the QAT and select Touch Mode; the icon below will appear. Click to manually turn on all the "Touchy" goodness.
Small Screen Devices
In addition to the optimizations we made for tablets, we also realized that an increasingly large number of Outlook users are opting for compact devices with smaller screens. In Outlook 2013 we have made many optimizations to make sure users are getting the most out of Outlook.
Outlook will detect that you are on a compact device, and collapse the navigation pane and ribbon by default just as it does for tablets. Email headers and the Outlook Social Connector use smaller pictures and shrink in size.
The great news is you can get your hands on all this today! Go ahead and get the Windows 8 preview and Outlook 2013 Customer Preview for your compact and tablet devices and check it out yourselves!
You can also read more about touch enhancements across Office on the Office Next blog.
