Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of April 26, 2010
Jana and Lauren discussed how smart they were as their cell filled with smoke. Ryder arrived and put it out. Daisy chastised the captives and ordered Ryder to shut them up. "A rock to the skull would suffice. Gag them for now," she said. The cops showed up. Daisy covered by saying Ryder did it, and that he sleeps in the woods. Ryder was arrested for vagrancy. Sarah punished Jana and Lauren by cutting off their food, along with Jana's migraine pills.
Sarah tried to convince Patty that their double murder plot against Phyllis and Michael can work. Patty argued that she's not a cold-blooded killer, but Sarah played on her insecurities about Phyllis and said it would be an act of love for Jack. "I have faith in you. You changed your whole face to land your sweetie," she noted.
Jack pumped Emily's brother Jamie for info on Emily. Jamie explained that Emily never told a lie and mentioned Emily's cat allergy as he drank Jack's beer. The cops called, looking to question Emily further about Adam's escape. Jack got the idea to surprise Emily at the hospital. Jack and Jamie interrupted "Emily's" session with "Lauren," so Patty tried to play along, using the info about Jamie that Emily gave her. Jamie bristled at his sister's talk of his antique career and how sorry she was that he couldn't come to their wedding, What? responded Jamie. "She lied to me," seethed Patty. "Who is 'she'?" queried Jack. Patty covered by saying she just wanted a new beginning with her brother. Jamie said he was surprised, considering he stole her prescription pad awhile back.
Victor reiterated that he killed Adam. Michael tried to talk Victor out of confessing, to no avail. "I understand the consequences, Michael Baldwin," he responded. Victor recalled the times he told Adam to be a man and said he is just following his own advice. "You're a pain in the ass to work for," declared Michael. "Oh, I know that," acknowledged The Mustache.
Michael and Victor met with Chance and Pomerantz. Victor described Adam's taunts and said the pen fell out of Adam's pocket while they were arguing. Victor jammed the pen into Adam with "my fist clenched around it," stuffed Jack Abbott's hankerchief into Adam's mouth, and then broke the gas pipe to cover his tracks. Chance pronounced his confession a "complete load of crap." He clarified that it was Nick's pen and Nick's jacket covered with Adam's blood.
Nick spat that he won't let Victor hang himself. Sharon, Nick and Phyllis debated letting Victor confess to the murder. Phyllis pointed out that the only person who knows who killed Adam is Adam's killer. Patty, Jack and Jamie arrived. Jack learned Nick was a suspect and that Victor had confessed. Jack was sure "Mr. Mumbles" was working an angle. Phyllis made a crack that the cops couldn't "find your butts without a GPS system." Chance noted her temper. Jack pulled Phyllis away, and told her to calm down. Patty spied them together. She gave Jamie her prescription pad in exchange for him leaving town. "You're right," Jamie told Jack before exiting. "She's not the same Emily." Victor continued to insist he killed Adam as Nick was returned to his cell. Phyllis and Sharon vowed to prove Nick's innocence.
Sarah taunted Lauren about Michael's virility, prompting Lauren to punch her through the bars. Enraged, Sarah called Patty and asked if she's in on the murder plot. Patty looked at Jack holding Phyllis's hands and responded, "I'm in."
Cane and Jill speculated about Tucker's plans for Jabot as they waited with Lily for Mackenzie's ultrasound. Lily shared that her doctor wants her to go back on chemotherapy. Cane tried to give her a pep talk, to no avail. Lily lamented the state of her health and said ruefully that she wants her life back. The ultrasound revealed that the twins are a boy and a girl. Lily left to go call her dad and Devon with the news, but she really just wanted to cry. Lily returned to Cane's side with a decision: She will do the chemo.
Ashley and Neil were smooching in the Abbott living room when the doorbell rang. "Bad time?" smirked Tucker. "Sorry, dude." Tucker offered Ashley the job of Jabot's CEO along with an "iron-clad contract." "Give me one reason why I shouldn't tell you to take this job and shove it," demanded Ashley. "Because you want it — bad," replied Tucker. Ashley said she'd think about it. Neil said he will support Ashley 150% in whatever she decides. They sealed it with a kiss.
Lauren and Jana reminisced about their husbands, their homes, and all the meals and trips they will enjoy when they escape captivity. They deduced that if Sarah is getting revenge on everyone who hurt her sister Sheila, Amber is next.
Michael phoned Kevin to tell him Ryder was in jail. Kevin, who was babysitting, phoned Daniel to watch Fen. Sarah walked into the coffee shop and asked if Fen wanted to hang out with mommy. The scared kid shook his head. Sarah confronted Kevin, who told her to talk to her husband. Sarah phoned Daisy: "We have a problem."
Amber and Daniel argued over her obsession with Little D. Kevin brought Fen over and they played video games. "You're a natural," smiled Amber. Daniel and Fen left to go watch a game, leaving Amber alone to welcome Sarah, who had just flashbacked to her hatred of Amber. Amber chatted to Sarah about how she wants Little D back because she thinks he is in danger from a Dragon Lady that Deacon warned her about. "What did Deacon tell you about this Dragon Lady?" queried the Dragon Lady. Sarah flashed back to ordering Deacon to get the Teroni painting or she would make his son Little D "look like a Picasso." Sarah asked where Little D is now. Furnace Creek, with her mom, replied Amber. She thought Lauren knew that. Sarah covered. Daniel and Fen arrived home. Sarah took Fen, suggesting they call Michael so he doesn't worry. Amber and Daniel fought again as Amber cried that it was Little D's birthday and she just wants to be a mom. Well, he doesn't want a kid, repeated Daniel. Both realized love may not be enough to save their marriage.
Michael confronted Ryder in jail and asked him what he did to get Lauren to bail him out. Ryder kept mum. Kevin arrived and launched into the sad state of his life, how he wished someone could help him figure out what was going on. Ryder cryptically responded that he thinks Jana will be home soon. Kevin begged Ryder to help him find his wife, and promised to protect him from whoever is threatening him. Ryder almost cracked. Michael greeted Kevin outside Ryder's cell and congratulated him on getting to Ryder. Daniel phoned Michael with the news that Lauren had taken Fen. Unhappy, Michael phoned Lauren but she did not pick up at Crimson Lights. "Daddy's just going to have to wait," seethed Sarah. "It won't be long till this is over, anyway."
Tucker repaired to the GCAC, where he ran into Jill. They shared a conciliatory drink as she pumped him about Jabot. Tucker said he has found the perfect person to run the company, and hopes she doesn't turn him down. "Now, who could turn you down?" cooed Jill, thinking it was her. Tucker went on to say he had made the offer and was waiting for a response. He remarked how nice it was that they could share a drink with no drama, and how that proves things aren't over between them. "You're right," said Jill, rising from her seat to throw her drink in Tucker's face. "NOW, it's over."
At the coffeehouse, Fen begged "Lauren" to take him home, and was relieved when Michael walked in. Michael scooped him up and berated "Lauren" for picking up their son without permission. "I really wish things didn't have to be like this," she stated unfeelingly. Michael glared at her suspiciously before leaving with Fen.
In the interrogation room at the police station, Owen Pomerance confronted Nick and Victor. He attempted to get Victor to waver on his confession, but Victor held fast. Pomerance threatened to put pressure on everyone associated with the kangaroo court "until one of them cracked." He warned that the people they cared about would pay the price if Nick and Victor didn't drop their act.
Nikki and Ashley arrived at the Abbott mansion at Jack and Billy's request, to discuss the murder investigation. Soon after, Victoria, Phyllis and Sharon joined them. Billy lit up upon seeing Victoria, who ignored him. Patty spied on the group from the stairs. Billy tried to flirt with Heather upon her arrival, but she was distracted by her flashbacks of "Patty" begging her to run a DNA test. "Emily" burst downstairs to confront her husband about Phyllis' presence. Jack asked her to calm down, but instead she stormed out of the house, claiming she had a patient to see. The meeting began, with Phyllis and Sharon announcing to the group that the "D.A.'s office was out of control." The two women expressed their concern that both Nick and Victor were locked up, and suggested that the group send a message that they would not be treated this way by suing the D.A.'s office for false imprisonment. "Are you guys in?" Phyllis inquired. The group looked puzzled. Rafe and Heather declined to participate, saying that the D.A.'s office wouldn't be intimidated by this, and that they were trying to get their jobs back. They left in disgust. Michael arrived, and the group informed him about their idea. Michael was hesitant. Accusations between the Newmans and Abbotts flew back and forth, with Ashley announcing that she believed Victor was capable of murder. Jack opted out of the lawsuit, but Billy pledged his support. The group theorized that the murderer could be someone outside their group that had a grudge against Adam. They griped that the police weren't looking at anyone else, because Victor had confessed. Just then, the doorbell rang and the group was shocked to see Pomerance at the door. He asked everyone in the room to take a lie detector test. His suggestion was met with opposition, but he contended that by taking the test, each of them could prove their innocence and get the D.A.'s office off their backs. "The ball's in your court now," he announced, and left. Michael's opinion was that the group should cooperate, and that meanwhile he would do everything he could to free Nicholas. Everyone left, and Phyllis and Michael were alone. She told him that he could talk to her anytime ... day or night. Michael was grateful for his good friend.
Daniel and Amber continued to argue about Amber's need to find and protect Little D. Amber worried about the "dragon lady" finding him and hurting him. Daniel assured her that the child was safe with her mother, but that she should call Tawny to put her mind at ease. Amber was thrilled to get his go-ahead to place the phone call, and kissed him in excitement. She dialed her mom, but the phone number was disconnected. "I'm going out there," she announced. Daniel objected, and suggested calling the Sherriff instead. Amber panicked as she called information in Furnace Creek and asked to be connected to the sheriff. Amber was calmed after hearing that Tawny's trailer had not been broken into, but was still nervous because her mother wasn't home. "I'll wait twenty-four hours, then I'm going to Furnace Creek!" she announced.
In her office, Patty placed a call to Sarah asking her to meet her there. "I'm sick of Phyllis putting her grubby hands all over my husband!" she shrieked. "It has to stop!" Sarah agreed to come over. When she arrived, the two women agreed to go ahead with their plan to murder Michael and Phyllis the next day. Patty cried hysterically to Sarah about how she was tired of everyone walking all over her. "Not anymore," Sarah stated matter-of-factly. "Patty is taking her life back." Patty was nervous that they would get caught, but Sarah assured her that she had everything planned out ... down to the last detail. "This will work, Patty," Sarah whispered. "But you have to be committed." Patty's resolve was steeled. "For Jack ... I can do anything!" she snarled. Sarah produced a handgun. Patty picked up the gun and pretended to aim. The women reiterated why they wanted Phyllis and Michael out of their lives. "I think we make one helluva team," Sarah growled.
Heather and Rafe went to Crimson Lights for a cup of coffee. Heather unburdened herself to Rafe about how her Aunt Patty had begged for a DNA test to prove she was Emily. Heather was doubtful that a switch could have taken place, but she was bothered by it. Knowing that Heather would fixate on it, Rafe suggested she run the DNA test, so that she could put it out of her mind. Heather agreed. She dialed the lab and asked for the test to be run in a personal capacity, rather than professional.
Victoria and Billy met up at the GCAC bar. She sheepishly apologized for "not being very nice" to him when he attempted to help her in court. "I know you meant well," she admitted. The two flirted, and Billy leaned in for a kiss. Victoria recoiled and asked him if he was crazy for trying to kiss her in public. Billy pointed out that the "cat was already out of the bag" after his announcement in court, but agreed to back off. "I love a challenge," he grinned. A smile crept across Victoria's face.
Pomerance returned to the interrogation room. Victor demanded that Nicholas be released. Pomerance refused, saying Victor was in no position to demand anything. The Newman men were led away. An officer handed Pomerance some new evidence — a cell phone with Adam's fingerprints all over it. Pomerance was eager to have the lab test it.
Jana and Lauren asked Ryder why he puts up with Daisy and Sarah. They explained his actions are a choice. "Man up, Ryder," ordered Lauren. "Get us out of here before something really bad happens."
Sarah and Patty put the final touches on their plans to murder Phyllis and Michael. Jack will be sad, reasoned Patty, but she'll be there to hold his hand. After that, Patty will kill Michael with the gun Sarah provided. They hung up as Jack came home. He reminded Patty he wants a separation but had to go see Phyllis. Patty flipped, then tried to pawn her jealousy off on how traumatized she still is after Adam's escape. Jack didn't buy it, asking what happened to the confident woman he fell in love with. The painting of Emily came to life and taunted Patty. She begged Jack for another chance. He stormed out.
Michael suggested to Sarah that they see a counselor. She suggested they meet later to discuss it. "It's been nice knowing you," she whispered.
Sarah extolled the virtues of "double homicide" to Daisy, telling her it's her duty to kill Michael and "make her mama proud." Sarah said she might even adopt Daisy when it's all over, and fix her up with Lauren's cute son Scotty. "He'll be so sad…" Daisy hemmed and hawed, but Sarah reminded her it won't be the first time she's killed someone. "I was just a kid when I lost it with Max," recalled Daisy cryptically, but agreed to kill Michael. Sarah suggested strangulation as Ryder listened in the shadows. "What if she fights back?" asked Daisy. "She's in a wheelchair!" retorted Sarah. They'll make it look like a home invasion and both get off. "Don't do it," advised Ryder after Sarah left. Daisy brushed him off.
Phyllis visited Nick in prison. They discussed the lawsuit Phyllis, Nikki, Victoria, Sharon and Billy plan to file against the DA's office for harassment, malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. Nick wished Victor would drop the false confession. Phyllis asked why is he so sure Victor is innocent. Michael arrived to serve Pomerantz with the lawsuit. Pomerantz offered to reduce the charges against Nick but he refused. Michael excused himself to go deal with "Baldwin family drama." Phyllis and Nick discussed how sad it is that Michael and Lauren are having problems and how lucky they are to have each other. Nick hated the thought of Phyllis on the ranch alone, though. She reassured him there was tons of security.
Phyllis and Michael talked about how crazy Lauren is acting, buying him a sports car and wanting to take a trip without Fenmore. Michael confided he has moved out. She scares her own son, he rued. Phyllis offered to talk to Lauren. "I'll take any help I can get," replied a grateful Michael. Meanwhile, Pomerantz got Nick alone and threatened to charge Phyllis with conspiracy. Then, their daughter will have two parents in jail, he pointed out.
Patty called Sarah with the bad news that Jack plans to see Phyllis tonight. Sarah ordered her to do whatever she has to do to stop that from happening. The painting taunted Patty again as Jack returned. Patty begged Jack to wait for her at home to discuss their marriage. "I won't be long," she promised. Patty went to the jail to revise her statement about the night Adam died and ran into Michael. They agreed to meet later to discuss Lauren's case.
Jana and Lauren cooked up a plan for Jana to fake a headache to try and escape. Ryder returned, deeply troubled. They pressed him as to why. "Michael and Phyllis are going to die tonight," he confided. "You have to stop them!" screamed Lauren.
Back at the Abbott mansion, Jack found Patty's journal under the couch. Over at the Newman ranch, Lauren arrived. "You up for a visitor?" she asked Phyllis.
Lauren and Jana sobbed at Ryder's news that Michael and Phyllis were about to be murdered. Lauren insisted Daisy and Sarah have to be stopped. Ryder fretted that Sarah and Daisy will come after him if he helps them, but Lauren asked what makes you think they won't pin the murders on you? Jana grabbed her head and fell to the floor. Ryder agreed to help them but realized the keys were missing.
Amber and Daniel argued over her desire to go to Furnace Creek to check on Little D. She headed for the coffee house to ask Kevin for advice.
Kevin and Michael agreed that Ryder knows where Jana is. Michael admitted he is separated from Lauren but hoped that his meeting later with Lauren's doctor Emily would shed some light on it. Amber arrived. Kevin advised her to apologize to Daniel, so she left a message. A kid entered and stole money off the table. Kevin grabbed him. "Oh my God!" exclaimed Amber. "That's Little D!"
Phyllis greeted Sarah at the door, noting that Summer was on a sleepover and she was all alone. Daisy lurked outside. Sarah went on about all the pain their families have been through as her eyes darted round the room. The phone rang — it was Daniel, spilling his troubles with Amber. Phyllis invited him over, which did not amuse Sarah. Sarah excused herself to get her cell from the car but really to order Daisy to stop Daniel from coming over.
Patty flashbacked on her plan with Sarah to be at the police station while Sarah was murdering Phyllis so that Patty would have an alibi. Patty met with Chance, who questioned her about how Adam could have gotten his hands on a cell phone — and what was a toy cat doing in his room? "I don't remember it," stammered Patty. Chance pointed out that since Adam went straight to the ball from the hospital, he must have had an accomplice. Patty bristled. Chance said he feels there are things she is not telling him. Did Adam threaten her? Patty flashbacked to Adam blackmailing her, then denied coersion. Let's take it from the top, sighed Chance. Patty stuck with her story. Chance said no worries - they will track the cell phone and look at security video. "I should go," hedged Patty.
Daisy arrived at Daniel's crying, desperate for someone to talk to. She poured something into his drink while he fetched tissues for her. Daisy poured out a fake story about how Ryder hates Michael and Lauren because they never accepted him. Daniel got sleepy and said he had to lie down. Daisy crawled on top of him. "Amber…" "Yes, baby?"
Little D informed Amber he goes by Eric now. Amber introduced Kevin and Michael. Eric returned the money, apologizing that he was hungry. Amber asked for a cupcake since it was Eric's birthday. "You remembered!" said the grateful boy. He shared that Tawny left a few days ago. He got scared when someone kept calling the house and hanging up so he stole Tawny's boyfriend's credit card number and borrowed some money from a neighbor to get to Genoa City. Amber admired her son's resourcefulness. She brought Eric home to find Daniel passed out in bed with a naked Daisy. "Oh, my God!"
Phyllis brought up Michael's concerns to Sarah. "What has Michael said about me?" queried Sarah. Sarah's phone rang; it was Michael. She silenced it as he left a message saying he hoped they could work things out. Daisy called Sarah to report that she took care of Daniel (Sarah lied that it was Gloria). Sarah's discussion with Phyllis escalated until Sarah spit, "I am getting really sick of you sticking up for him." She frightened Phyllis so much that Phyllis asked her to leave, which Sarah did. Phyllis phoned Michael and said she had a "creepy feeling."
Chance made a call citing "Dr. Emily Abbott" as a prime suspect in Adam's murder. Patty phoned Michael asking if now was a good time to meet. "Now is perfect," enthused Michael. Kevin headed to the amusement park to look for Jana. Back at Phyllis's, the lights went out and the door knob turned. "Daniel?" asked a frightened Phyllis. "Lauren, is that you?"

So flattering!
This sweater is AMAZING! I went in to buy the fair isle tunic, but LTD was having a BOGO sale and I didn't want to miss out. On the hanger I thought the print of this one was a little cheesy, but I put it on and it looked incredible! It is a superb length that just covers the bum with pants, and the darkest wide stripe goes over the skinniest part of my waist, making me look tiny. I am also a big fan of 3/4 sleeves, since i find that long sleeves are usually too short anyway. If you can still find your size, try this!
My only small complaint is that it pilled a lot on the sides after a few wears.

Stylish and comfortable
I love this sweater. It's so soft and comfortable and has a great silhouette. Love the colors, too. I got the one with bluish hues.
December 17, 2012
Love this tunic!
I saw this item online and wasn't too impressed with how it looked, but I saw it in the store and tried it on. It's gorgeous! I only saw the blue (which is what I bought#. I love the color and the pattern. It will look great with skinny jeans or leggings and boots. The wide stripe hits right at your middle #at least for me) which makes your waist look narrow. It fits true to size - I'm always a size small at the limited and I took a size small in this as well. Can't wait to wear this!
December 13, 2012
Feels great
I love this tunic. I got it in the blue, and the colors look fantastic. It's not super heavy and bulky, but it's not thin eaither. It is great for winter. I wore it out with leggings and absolutly loved it. I would have given it a 5 out of 5 if it was just an inch longer. But other than that it's a great addition to have this winter!
December 9, 2012
Great Tunic!
Very fine knit, light weight but not see thru. Great with leggings or jeans.
December 6, 2012
Great Colors!!
Bought as a gift, Great Colors!! Appears to have nice fit! Love the 3/4 length sleeve for my tall sister.

New Favorite Sweater
I LOVE this sweater. The material is soft and not too thick or thin. I usually wear an xs but bought this in a small to allow a more loose fit in the hip (I'm 5'4" so this came down pretty far on my frame). Looks great with skinny jeans or thick leggings. Also, I had a little more room in the neck than is pictured (might be pinned back on the model or she just has broader shoulders) so arranging my bra strap might get irritating but this sweater is worth it.

Arts and Crafts movement
Arts and Crafts was an international design movement that flourished between 1860 and 1910, especially in the second half of that period,[1] continuing its influence until the 1930s.[2] It was led by the artist and writer William Morris (1834–1896) during the 1860s,[1] and was inspired by the writings of John Ruskin (1819–1900) and Augustus Pugin (1812–1852). It developed first and most fully in the British Isles,[2] but spread to the rest of Europe and North America.[3] It was largely a reaction against the impoverished state of the decorative arts at the time and the conditions in which they were produced.[4] It stood for traditional craftsmanship using simple forms and often applied medieval, romantic or folk styles of decoration. It advocated economic and social reform and has been said to be essentially anti-industrial.[4][5]
Britain and Ireland[edit]
The main developer of the Arts and Crafts style was William Morris (1834–1896), although the term "Arts and Crafts" was not coined until 1887, when it was first used by T. J. Cobden-Sanderson.[6] Morris's ideas were influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, of which he had been a part, and from his reading of John Ruskin. In 1861 Morris and some friends founded a company, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co., which, as supervised by the partners, designed and made decorative objects for homes, including wallpaper, textiles, furniture and stained glass. Later the company was re-formed as Morris & Co. In 1890 Morris established the Kelmscott Press, for which he designed a typeface based on Nicolas Jenson's 15th-century letter forms.[7] The press printed fine and de-luxe editions of contemporary and historical English literature.
The Red House, in Bexleyheath, London, designed for Morris in 1859 by architect Philip Webb, exemplifies the early Arts and Crafts style, with its well-proportioned solid forms, wide porches, steep roof, pointed window arches, brick fireplaces and wooden fittings. Webb rejected the grand classical style and based the design on British vernacular architecture expressing the texture of ordinary materials, such as stone and tiles, with an asymmetrical and quaint building composition.[8]
Morris's ideas spread during the late 19th and early 20th centuries resulting in the establishment of many associations and craft communities, although Morris was not involved with them because of his preoccupation with socialism. A hundred and thirty Arts and Crafts organisations were formed in Britain, most between 1895 and 1905.[9]
In 1881, Eglantyne Louisa Jebb, Mary Fraser Tytler and others initiated the Home Arts and Industries Association to promote and protect rural handicrafts. In 1882, architect A.H.Mackmurdo formed the Century Guild, a partnership of designers including Selwyn Image, Herbert Horne, Clement Heaton and Benjamin Creswick.[9] In 1884, the Art Workers Guild was initiated by five young architects, William Lethaby, Edward Prior, Ernest Newton, Mervyn Macartney and Gerald C. Horsley, with the goal of integrating design and making. It was directed originally by George Blackall Simonds. By 1890 the Guild had 150 members, representing the increasing number of practitioners of the Arts and Crafts style.[9] At the same time the Arts and Craft aesthetic was copied by many designers of decorative products made by conventional industrial methods. The London department store Liberty & Co., founded in 1875, was a prominent retailer of goods in the style.
In 1885, the Birmingham School of Art became the first Municipal School of Art. The school became the leading centre for the Arts and Crafts movement with the help of people such as Henry Payne and Joseph Southall.[10]
In 1887 the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society was formed with Walter Crane as president, holding its first exhibition in the New Gallery, London, in November 1888.[11] It was the first show of contemporary decorative arts in London since the Grosvenor Gallery's Winter Exhibition of 1881.[12] Morris & Co. was well represented in the exhibition with furniture, fabrics, carpets and embroideries. Edward Burne-Jones observed, "here for the first time one can measure a bit the change that has happened in the last twenty years".[9] The society still exists as the Society of Designer Craftsmen.[13]
In 1888, C.R.Ashbee, a major late practitioner of the style in England, founded the Guild and School of Handicraft in the East End of London. The guild was a craft co-operative modelled on the medieval guilds and intended to give working men satisfaction in their craftsmanship. Skilled craftsmen, working on the principles of Ruskin and Morris, were to produce hand-crafted goods and manage a school for apprentices. The idea was greeted with enthusiasm by almost everyone except Morris, who was by now involved with promoting socialism and thought Ashbee's scheme trivial. From 1888 to 1902 the guild prospered, employing about 50 men. In 1902 Ashbee relocated the guild out of London to begin an experimental community in Chipping Campden in the Cotswolds. The guild's work is characterized by plain surfaces of hammered silver, flowing wirework and colored stones in simple settings. Ashbee designed jewellery and silver tableware. The guild flourished at Chipping Camden but did not prosper and was liquidated in 1908. Some craftsmen stayed, contributing to the tradition of modern craftsmanship in the area.[8][14][15]
Charles Francis Annesley Voysey (1857–1941) was an Arts and Crafts architect who also designed fabrics, tiles, ceramics, furniture and metalwork. His style combined simplicity with sophistication. His wallpapers and textiles, featuring stylised bird and plant forms in bold outlines with flat colors, were used widely.[8]
Morris's ideas were adopted by the New Education philosophy in the late 1880s, which incorporated handicraft teaching in schools at Abbotsholme (1889) and Bedales (1892), and his influence has been noted in the social experiments of Dartington Hall during the mid-20th century and in the formation of the Crafts Council in 1973.[9] Morris's thought influenced the distributism of G. K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc.[16] Morris & Co. traded until 1940. Its designs were sold by Sanderson and Co. and some are still in production.[17]
The Central School of Arts and Crafts, founded in 1896 by the London County Council, with Lethaby and George Frampton as its first principals, was influenced by the Arts and Crafts philosophy, as was the Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts founded shortly after. Walter Crane became head of the Royal College of Art in 1898 and tried to reform it and to introduced practical crafts, but resigned after a year. However, under Augustus Spencer, its curriculum was eventually reformed and Lethaby was brought in to head its school of design.
The London suburb of Bedford Park, built mainly in the 1880s and 1890s, has about 360 Arts and Crafts style houses and was once famous for the its Aesthetic residents. Several Almshouses were built in the Arts and Crafts style, for example, Whiteley Village, Surrey, built between 1914 and 1917, with over 280 buildings, and the Dyers Almshouses, Sussex, built between 1939 and 1971.
The movement spread to Ireland, representing an important time for the nation's cultural development, a visual counterpart to the literary revival of the same time[18] and was a publication of Irish nationalism. The Arts and Crafts use of stained glass was popular in Ireland, with Harry Clarke the best-known artist and also with Evie Hone. The architecture of the style is represented by the Honan Chapel (1916) in Cork in the grounds of University College Cork. Other architects practicing in Ireland included Sir Edwin Lutyens (Heywood House in Co. Laois, Lambay Island and the Irish National War Memorial Gardens in Dublin) and Frederick 'Pa' Hicks (Malahide Castle estate buildings and round tower). Irish Celtic motifs were popular with the movement in silvercraft, carpet design, book illustrations and hand-carved furniture.
The beginnings of the Arts and Crafts movement in Scotland were in the stained glass revival of the 1850s, pioneered by James Ballantine (1808–77). His major works included the great west window of Dunfermline Abbey and the scheme for St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh. In Glasgow it was pioneered by Daniel Cottier (1838–91), who had probably studied with Ballantine, and was directly influenced by William Morris, Ford Madox Brown and John Ruskin. His key works included the Baptism of Christ in Paisley Abbey, (c. 1880). His followers included Stephen Adam and his son of the same name.[19] The Glasgow-born designer and theorist Christopher Dresser (1834–1904) was one of the first, and most important, independent designers, a pivotal figure in the Aesthetic Movement and a major contributor to the allied Anglo-Japanese movement.[20] The movement had an "extraordinary flowering" in Scotland where it was represented by the development of the 'Glasgow Style' which was based on the talent of the Glasgow School of Art. Celtic revival took hold here, and motifs such as the Glasgow rose became popularised. Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School of Art were to influence others worldwide.[2][21]
North America[edit]

In the United States, the terms American Craftsman or Craftsman style are often used to denote the style of architecture, interior design, and decorative arts that prevailed between the dominant eras of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, or approximately the period from 1910 to 1925.
In Canada, the term Arts and Crafts predominates, but Craftsman is also recognized.[22]
While the Europeans tried to recreate the virtuous crafts being replaced by industrialisation, Americans tried to establish a new type of virtue to replace heroic craft production: well-decorated middle-class homes. They claimed that the simple but refined aesthetics of Arts and Crafts decorative arts would ennoble the new experience of industrial consumerism, making individuals more rational and society more harmonious. The American Arts and Crafts movement was the aesthetic counterpart of its contemporary political philosophy, progressivism. Characteristically, when the Arts and Crafts Society began in October 1897 in Chicago, it was at Hull House, one of the first American settlement houses for social reform.[23]
In the United States, the Arts and Crafts style initiated a variety of attempts to reinterpret European Arts and Crafts ideals for Americans. These included the "Craftsman"-style architecture, furniture, and other decorative arts such as designs promoted by Gustav Stickley in his magazine, The Craftsman. A host of imitators of Stickley's furniture (the designs of which are often mislabelled the "Mission Style") included three companies established by his brothers.
Arts and Crafts ideals disseminated in America through journal and newspaper writing were supplemented by societies that sponsored lectures and programs.[23] The first was organized in Boston in the late 1890s, when a group of influential architects, designers, and educators determined to bring to America the design reforms begun in Britain by William Morris; they met to organize an exhibition of contemporary craft objects. The first meeting was held on January 4, 1897, at the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) in Boston to organize an exhibition of contemporary crafts. When craftsmen, consumers, and manufacturers realised the aesthetic and technical potential of the applied arts, the process of design reform in Boston started. Present at this meeting were General Charles Loring, Chairman of the Trustees of the MFA; William Sturgis Bigelow and Denman Ross, collectors, writers and MFA trustees; Ross Turner, painter; Sylvester Baxter, art critic for the Boston Transcript; Howard Baker, A.W. Longfellow Jr.; and Ralph Clipson Sturgis, architect.
The first American Arts and Crafts Exhibition began on April 5, 1897, at Copley Hall, Boston[citation needed] featuring more than 1000 objects made by 160 craftsmen, half of whom were women. Some of the advocates of the exhibit were Langford Warren, founder of Harvard's School of Architecture; Mrs. Richard Morris Hunt; Arthur Astor Carey and Edwin Mead, social reformers; and Will H. Bradley, graphic designer. The success of this exhibition resulted in the incorporation of The Society of Arts and Crafts (SAC), on June 28, 1897, with a mandate to "develop and encourage higher standards in the handicrafts." The 21 founders claimed to be interested in more than sales, and emphasized encouragement of artists to produce work with the best quality of workmanship and design. This mandate was soon expanded into a credo, possibly written by the SAC's first president, Charles Eliot Norton, which read:
This Society was incorporated for the purpose of promoting artistic work in all branches of handicraft. It hopes to bring Designers and Workmen into mutually helpful relations, and to encourage workmen to execute designs of their own. It endeavors to stimulate in workmen an appreciation of the dignity and value of good design; to counteract the popular impatience of Law and Form, and the desire for over-ornamentation and specious originality. It will insist upon the necessity of sobriety and restraint, or ordered arrangement, of due regard for the relation between the form of an object and its use, and of harmony and fitness in the decoration put upon it.[citation needed]
Also influential were the Roycroft community initiated by Elbert Hubbard in Buffalo and East Aurora, New York, Joseph Marbella, utopian communities like Byrdcliffe Colony in Woodstock, New York, and Rose Valley, Pennsylvania, developments such as Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, featuring clusters of bungalow and chateau homes built by Herbert J. Hapgood, and the contemporary studio craft style. Studio pottery—exemplified by the Grueby Faience Company, Newcomb Pottery in New Orleans, Marblehead Pottery, Teco pottery, Overbeck and Rookwood pottery and Mary Chase Perry Stratton's Pewabic Pottery in Detroit, as well as the art tiles made by Ernest A. Batchelder in Pasadena, California, and idiosyncratic furniture of Charles Rohlfs all demonstrate the influence of Arts and Crafts.
The "Prairie School" of Frank Lloyd Wright, George Washington Maher and other architects in Chicago, the Country Day School movement, the bungalow and ultimate bungalow style of houses popularized by Greene and Greene, Julia Morgan, and Bernard Maybeck are some examples of the American Arts and Crafts and American Craftsman style of architecture. Restored and landmark-protected examples are still present in America, especially in California in Berkeley and Pasadena, and the sections of other towns originally developed during the era and not experiencing post-war urban renewal. Mission Revival, Prairie School, and the 'California bungalow' styles of residential building remain popular in the United States today.
The earliest Arts and Crafts activity in continental Europe was in Belgium in about 1890, where the English style inspired artists and architects including Gabriel Van Dievoet, Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, Henry van de Velde and a group known as La Libre Esthétique (Free Aesthetic).
In Germany, after unification in 1871, the Arts and Crafts movement developed nationalist associations under the encouragement of the Bund für Heimatschutz (1897)[24] and the Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk founded in 1898 by Karl Schmidt.
In Austria, the style became popular in Vienna, inspired by an exhibition of the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Charles Robert Ashbee.
In Finland, an idealistic artists' colony in Helsinki was designed by Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen,[2] who worked in the National Romantic style, akin to the British Gothic Revival.
In Hungary, under the influence of Ruskin and Morris, a group of artists and architects, including Károly Kós, Aladár Kreisch and Ede Wigand, discovered the folk art and vernacular architecture of Transylvania. Many of Kós's buildings, including those of the Budapest zoo, show this influence.[25]
In Iceland, Sölvi Helgason's work shows Arts and Crafts influence.
In Japan, Yanagi Sōetsu, creator of the Mingei style promoting folk art during the 1920s, shared the contemporary Japanese interest in Morris and Ruskin and was influenced by the Arts and Crafts style.[26]
Design principles[edit]
The Arts and Crafts style started as a search for aesthetic design and decoration and a reaction against the styles that were developed by machine-production.
Arts and Crafts objects were simple in form, without superfluous or excessive decoration, and how they were constructed was often still visible. They tended to emphasize the qualities of the materials used ("truth to material"). They often had patterns inspired by British flora and fauna and used the vernacular, or domestic, traditions of the British countryside. Several designer-makers established workshops in rural areas and revived old techniques. They were influenced by the Gothic Revival (1830–1880) and were interested in medieval styles, using bold forms and strong colors based on medieval designs. They claimed to believe in the moral purpose of art. Truth to material, structure and function had also been advocated by A.W.N. Pugin (1812–1852), an exponent of the Gothic Revival.[8]
The Arts and Crafts style was partly a reaction against the style of many of the items shown in the Great Exhibition of 1851, which were ornate, artificial and ignored the qualities of the materials used. The art historian Nikolaus Pevsner has said that exhibits in the Great Exhibition showed "ignorance of that basic need in creating patterns, the integrity of the surface" and "vulgarity in detail".[27] Design reform began with the organisers of the Exhibition itself, Henry Cole (1808–1882), Owen Jones (1809–1874), Matthew Digby Wyatt (1820–1877) and Richard Redgrave (1804–1888). Jones, for example, declared that "Ornament ... must be secondary to the thing decorated", that there must be "fitness in the ornament to the thing ornamented", and that wallpapers and carpets must not have any patterns "suggestive of anything but a level or plain". These ideas were adopted by William Morris. Where a fabric or wallpaper in the Great Exhibition might be decorated with a natural motif made to look as real as possible, a Morris & Co. wallpaper, like the Artichoke design illustrated (right), would use a flat and simplified natural motif. In order to express the beauty of craft, some products were deliberately left slightly unfinished, resulting in a certain rustic and robust effect.
By the end of the nineteenth century, Arts and Crafts ideals had influenced architecture, painting, sculpture, graphics, illustration, book making and photography, domestic design and the decorative arts, including furniture and woodwork, stained glass, leatherwork, lacemaking, embroidery, rug making and weaving, jewelry and metalwork, enameling and ceramics.[21]
Social principles[edit]
The Arts and Crafts philosophy was influenced by Ruskin's social criticism, which sought to relate the moral and social health of a nation to the qualities of its architecture and design. Ruskin thought machinery was to blame for many social ills and that a healthy society depended on skilled and creative workers. Like Ruskin, Arts and Crafts artists tended to oppose the division of labor and to prefer craft production, in which the whole item was made and assembled by an individual or small group. They claimed to be concerned about the decrease of rural handicrafts, which accompanied the development of industry, and they regretted the loss of traditional skills and creativity.
Whereas Cole, Jones and Wyatt had accepted machine production, Morris mixed design criticism with social criticism, insisting that the artist should be a craftsman-designer.[27] Morris and others, for example, Walter Crane and C.R.Ashbee (1863–1942), advocated a society of free craftspeople, which they believed had existed during the Middle Ages. "Because craftsmen took pleasure in their work", Morris wrote, "the Middle Ages was a period of greatness in the art of the common people. ... The treasures in our museums now are only the common utensils used in households of that age, when hundreds of medieval churches - each one a masterpiece - were built by unsophisticated peasants."[26]
There was some disagreement as to whether machinery should be rejected completely and opinions changed. Morris was not entirely consistent. He thought production by machinery was "altogether an evil",[27] but when he could find manufacturers willing to work to his own exacting standards, he would use them to make his designs.[28] He said that, in a "true society", where neither luxuries nor cheap trash were made, machinery could be improved and used to reduce the hours of labour.[29] Ashbee, in some respects, began as even more "medievalist" than Morris.[27] At the time of his Guild of Handicraft, initiated in 1888, he said, "We do not reject the machine, we welcome it. But we would desire to see it mastered."[27][30] But after twenty years of pitting his Guild and School of Handicraft guild against modern methods of manufacture, he acknowledged that "Modern civilization rests on machinery."[27] In Germany, Hermann Muthesius and Henry van de Velde, major participants of the Deutscher Werkbund (DWB), had opposing opinions. Muthesius, who was director of design education for the German government, championed mass production, standardisation and an affordable, democratic art; Van de Velde thought mass production threatened creativity and individuality.
The movement was associated with socialist ideas in the persons of Morris, Crane and Ashbee. Morris eventually spent more of his time on socialist propaganda than on designing and making. Ashbee established a community of craftsmen, the Guild of Handicraft, in east London, later moving to Chipping Campden.
Influences and parallels[edit]

Widely exhibited in Europe, the Arts and Crafts style's simplicity inspired designers like Henry van de Velde and styles such as Art Nouveau, the Dutch De Stijl group, Vienna Secession, and eventually the Bauhaus style. Pevsner regarded the style as a prelude to Modernism, which used simple forms without ornamentation.[27]
In Russia, Viktor Hartmann, Viktor Vasnetsov and other artists associated with Abramtsevo Colony sought to revive the quality of medieval Russian decorative arts quite independently from the movement in Great Britain.
The Wiener Werkstätte, founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, had an independent role in the development of Modernism, with its Wiener Werkstätte Style.
The British Utility furniture of the 1940s was simple in design and derived from Arts and Crafts principles.[31] Gordon Russell, chairman of the Utility Furniture Design Panel, manufactured in the Cotswold Hills, which had become a region of Arts and Crafts furniture making when Ashbee relocated there.

How will the scenario be handled if I use Office as subscription service and the device I use doesn't have an internet connection for a longer time after installation?
Good question. The way it works for me is the same with Office 2010: programs are there, you can only work with the docs you have. However, if you want to upload a new copy, the document is held in an upload center. Next time you connect, the documents update with SkyDrive.
The handling of the docs wasn't the scenario i thought at. What i would like to know: In which intervalls will the office applications need an internet connection to check for an active subscription? For example: If I payed for a one-year-subscription, could I use office a year without internet or will the programs automatic be deactivated after an unknown period without internet?

As detailed on the PS Blog, Superbrothers will offer a number of tracks created in collaboration with long time creative partner Jim Guthrie, presented as an "album" called CORPOREAL.

Sound Shapes to feature tracks from Deadmau5
Deadmau5 is making "a variety of exclusive new tracks" for Sound Shapes, a unique Vita title which unfortunately looks likely to miss the console's launch. Navigating a 2D world with vague shades of Loco Roco, the player creates a unique soundscape on each playthrough. In addition to the campaign, you can make and share your own levels – mixing your own interactive music, in other words. Deadmau5′s offerings will apparently be playable in both modes. Sony sent a press release so this one actually looks to be true, unlike other headlines we won't discuss.

In Hartford Fire Insurance Co. v. California (1993), the United States Supreme Court held that the Sherman Act applies to foreign business conduct meant to cause a "substantial effect" in the United States, even if that conduct was legal in the country in which is occurred. In the case, United States-based insurance and reinsurance companies agreed with London-based reinsurance companies to pressure the Insurance Services Office in the United States to change standard forms in a way that made it more difficult for insureds to make insurance claims. The conduct in question did not violate British law, but it would have run contrary to federal anti-monopoly law under the Sherman Antitrust Act. Nineteen states, including California, brought suit against the insurance companies for conspiracy to violate § 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The British reinsurance companies argued that the case against them should be dismissed in federal court because application of the Sherman Act against them would violate principles of international comity. The Supreme Court, in an opinion by Justice Souter, concluded that the domestic insurance companies' alleged conduct was not immunized from antitrust liability by the McCarran-Ferguson Act, nor did principles of international comity preclude the federal district court from having jurisdiction over the foreign insurers' conduct. The Sherman Antitrust Act made every contract, combination, or conspiracy in unreasonable restraint of interstate or foreign commerce illegal. The federal district court had jurisdiction over Sherman Act claims, especially since the London reinsurance companies engaged in conspiracies that would have substantially affected the insurance market in the United States. As for principles of international comity, the Supreme Court did not find the need to apply these principles, since there was no true conflict between US law and foreign (UK) law.
Sherman Antitrust Act
A federal anti-monopoly and anti-trust statute, passed in 1890 as 15 U.S.C. §§ 1-7 and amended by the Clayton Act in 1914 (15 U.S.C. § 12-27), which prohibits activities that restrict interstate commerce and competition in the marketplace.
Broad and sweeping in scope, § 1 of the Act states that "[e]very contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several States, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal." § 2 of the Act further prohibits monopolization or attempts at monopolizing any aspect of interstate trade or commerce and makes the act a felony. Federal district courts have the jurisdiction to enjoin violations of the Sherman Act, and these proceedings are instituted by United States Attorneys in their respective districts. The injured party (whether it is the federal government, an individual state, or a private party) is entitled to three times the amount of injury that it has suffered; this award is known as treble damages. The Act does not apply to trade or commerce with foreign nations unless there was conduct that has a "direct, substantial, and reasonably foreseeable effect" and that effect gives rise to a claim under the Act. For a full text of the Sherman Antitrust Act, see:
In insurance law, the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1011-15 vested regulatory authority of the insurance industry on the states; thus, the federal reach of the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act is applicable to the "business of insurance" only to the extent where: (1) such business is not regulated by state law [§ 1012], or (2) there are insurer or acts of, "boycott, coercion, or intimidation" [§ 1013]. For the full text of the McCarran-Ferguson Act, see:
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
Definition provided by Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary.
August 19, 2010, 5:24 pm
"The meaning of the term 'contract, combination … or conspiracy' is informed by the ' "basic distinction" ' in the Sherman Act ' "between concerted and independent action" ' that distinguishes § 1 of the Sherman Act from § 2. Copperweld, 467 U.S., at 767, 104 S.Ct. 2731 (quoting Monsanto Co. v. Spray-Rite Service Corp., 465 U.S. 752, 761, 104 S.Ct. 1464, 79 L.Ed.2d 775 (1984)). Section 1 applies only to concerted action that restrains trade. Section 2, by contrast, covers both concerted and independent action, but only if that action 'monopolize[s],' 15 U.S.C. § 2, or 'threatens actual monopolization,' Copperweld, 467 U.S., at 767, 104 S.Ct. 2731, a category that is narrower than restraint of trade. Monopoly power may be equally harmful whether it is the product of joint action or individual action.
"Congress used this distinction between concerted and independent action to deter anticompetitive conduct and compensate its victims, without chilling vigorous competition through ordinary business operations. The distinction also avoids judicial scrutiny of routine, internal business decisions.
"Thus, in § 1 Congress 'treated concerted behavior more strictly than unilateral behavior.' Id., at 768, 104 S.Ct. 2731. This is so because unlike independent action, '[c]oncerted activity inherently is fraught with anticompetitive risk' insofar as it 'deprives the marketplace of independent centers of decisionmaking that competition assumes and demands.' Id., at 768-769, 104 S.Ct. 2731. And because concerted action is discrete and distinct, a limit on such activity leaves untouched a vast amount of business conduct. As a result, there is less risk of deterring a firm's necessary conduct, courts need only examine discrete agreements; and such conduct may be remedied simply through prohibition. See Areeda & Hovenkamp ¶ 1464c, at 206. Concerted activity is thus 'judged more sternly than unilateral activity under § 2,' Copperweld, 467 U.S., at 768, 104 S.Ct. 2731. For these reasons, § 1 prohibits any concerted action 'in restraint of trade or commerce,' even if the action does not 'threate[n] monopolization,' Ibid. And therefore, an arrangement must embody concerted action in order to be a 'contract, combination … or conspiracy' under § 1."
J. Stevens, American Needle, Inc. v. National Football League, 130 S.Ct. 2201, 2208-2209 (2010).

I've booked a table for myself and my husband for breakfast. Food was great! Fresh and lovely presented. The staff were polite and not pushy to clear the table.
I would say that a booking in advance is a must as when we came to sit down, a very long queue has formed very quickly.

Richard Caring's involvement raises questions to who is funding what exactly! &

A mixed experience. We queued for 15 minutes with about a dozen other people on the stairs shown in the photo, which afforded us a good view of both floors, including 4 empty tables, one of which we were eventually seated at. Neither we nor the heavily pregnant lady in front of us received an apology for the unnecessary wait. Our orders were taken promptly and when the food arrived it was of a high standard, if you ignore the fact that the pancakes were stone cold and my eggs royale came on a plate so dirty you could tell what the last person had eaten. The coffee was outstanding. Next to us was an empty table for five which remained unused while the queue up the stairs continued to grow, and we were left wondering if this would be the last recommendation we take from Time Out.

Had breakfast a few days ago based on the reccomendations on this site. Food, coffee and other drinks were all execellent, as was the service. Not sure what would ever please some of the unimpressed people on this site. I travel all over the world for work reasons and and rarley come across better for breakfast.

Terrible service. Went there for a friends Hen do and thought this was the perfect place to start the day. Food wasn't great, waited a long time for a table. And to top it all off a waiter dropped orange juice all over me (bear in mind i was in these clothes for the rest of the day!) and my expensive bag! Ruined my friends Hen do and I'm still chasing compensation for my bag! Wouldn't go here again. (Covent Garden restaurant)

Bills is ok. The service is excellent. I chose scrambled eggs & salmon on toast. Eggs were a touch cold & my extra hot Latte was warm at best. The menu for breakfast is small. Very nice setting even if the chairs aren't the most comfortable.

Not impressed AT ALL. They refuse to make changes to their menu for dietary restrictions. What kind of restaurant that praises itself for having fresh food won't make a change for people with food allergies. VERY disappointing!

Visiting from sydney and couldn't find anywhere else in covent garden. Seriously average food. Host was nice and though the rest of the service staff were slow, he promptly replaced my served-cold chips with a fresh hot ones upon my request. Still, the supposedly gourmet hamburger was super greasy and i could have had a better equivalent meal at mcdonalds. Oh and when i requested the berry and banana smoothie without the berries, they apologised but all their smoothies were pre-made "fresh" (contradiction much) that morning with the berries already in them - they didn't think that it would have taken less time to make me a plain banana smoothie than explain this awfully dull fact. Cappuccino was bad-foamy and separated from the milk. Will not be returning.

Went to Covent Garden with two children. Good but not great food but appalling service. Despite table being vacated shortly after we arrived it took an age to be seated! Jamie's, next door,the previous night,was a much better deal, with staff much more attentive to the need to deal with children's needs quickly. Even the table next to us, four grown men, left after not receiving any service. It is a bit rich to add 12.5% gratuity when there is no service!

Bill Harris a news anchor with NBC25.
GENESEE COUNTY -- "They are regular people that you see up and down the street every day, around the corner, our neighbors," says Grand Blanc Police Chief Steve Solomon.
As of November first, there are over 46-thousand residents in the NBC25 viewing area who now have a license to carry a concealed weapon.
The number of men and women wanting to carry a concealed weapon is skyrocketing. There are at least two reasons for that. The first, says Doug Sepanak, owner of Flint's Sentinal Protection and Investigations, is the process itself. "20 years ago, he says, you had to have a friend in the State Police, Sheriff's Department, Prosecutor's Office, usually, to get a permit. Now, you know, unless they have something criminal against you, they have to give it to you."
And the second, more obvious reason for the spike? Personal protection.
"When you take away the police force and the security force and the confidence that the citizens have that they'll be protected, I think their only option is to go out there and protect themselves" says Genesee County Undersheriff Chris Swanson who also says "It's not the amount of guns that are out there, it's the amount of guns that are in the wrong hands that's the problem."

A skin lesion biopsy is the removal of a piece of skin to diagnose or rule out an illness.
Punch biopsy; Shave biopsy; Skin biopsy; Biopsy - skin
There are several ways to do a skin biopsy. Most procedures can be easily done in outpatient medical offices or your doctor's office.
Which procedure you have depends the location, size, and type of lump or sore. You will receive some type of numbing medicine (anesthetic) before any type of skin biopsy.
Types of skin biopsies include:
The shave biopsy is the least invasive of all three techniques. Your doctor will remove the outermost layers of skin. You will not need stitches.
Punch biopsies are most often used for deeper skin spots or sores. Your doctor removes a small round piece of skin (usually the size of a pencil eraser) using a sharp, hollow instrument. If a large sample is taken, the area may be closed with stitches.
An excisional biopsy is done to remove the entire lesion. A numbing medicine is injected into the area. Then the entire lump, spot, or sore is removed, going as deep as needed to get the whole area. The area is closed with stitches. Pressure is applied to the area to stop any bleeding. If a large area is biopsied, a skin graft or flap of normal skin may be used to replace the skin that was removed.
An incisional biopsy takes a piece of a larger growth for examination. The area is injected with a numbing medicine. A piece of the growth is cut and sent to the lab for examination. You may have stitches, if needed. The rest of the growth can be treated after the diagnosis is made.
Tell your health care provider:
There is a brief prick and sting as the anesthetic is injected. Afterward, the area may be tender.
Your doctor may order a skin biopsy if you have signs or symptoms of:
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The test may reveal skin cancers or noncancerous (benign ) conditions. Bacteria and fungi can be identified. The test may also reveal some inflammatory diseases of the skin. Once the diagnosis is confirmed with the biopsy, a treatment plan is usually started.
Risks may include:
You will bleed slightly during the procedure. Tell your doctor if you have a history of bleeding problems.
Fluid-filled sores or growths may be examined by skin lesion aspiration instead of skin lesion biopsy.

Main Idea and Details
21 comments:
I think young readers get caught up in the sentence and paragraph level when looking for the main idea. While this is a great place to start (explicit main idea: 1st sentence main idea with supporting details), many "real" texts have an implicit main idea, which is not so easy for our students.
When I tutored in reading, I had my students (2nd through 5th grades) study the overall text structure of the piece. Doing this REALLY brought the main idea to life! Emily Kissner has a great book that I used called, Summarizing, Paraphrasing, & Retelling...She also has some great resources concerning this topic on slideshare.net (type in her name in the search bar). Hope that helps!Thank you all!
Fran-I was having trouble viewing documents blogs other than my own if they were embedding the documents using Google (not with a picture link). I downloaded Firefox and that seemed to help a bit.
I will have to look into Emily Kissner's book! Thank you for the information thisreadingmama! ~ Mrs. McI know that you posted this lesson some time ago but I wanted to let you know that it is being used in my classroom tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Second Grade Math ManiacI used this on Monday to "introduce" Main Idea to my fifth graders. After doing the sample bag, they then worked in pairs to do other bags. I also added writing to the mix. They then picked one of the bags to write about. Some wrote a simple paragraph using the main idea as the topic sentence and supporting details to make the rest of the sentences. Some of them created very creative short stories about the bag. Thanks so much for the idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas!! Thanks for sharing.

When it talks about relationship, there are several factors that will greatly affect a man and a woman's perception. Both men and women have their own approaches and expressions regarding how to deal with their present relationship. In most cases, women tend to search for the best relationship advice for women to help them overcome any obstacle or difficulty they encounter with their partner. In fact, it is the right time to take the initiative in improving the harmony of relationship or overcoming misunderstanding and quarrels.
If you are looking for the best place to go to find a relationship advice for women, you can browse online for different sites that discuss everything about relationship and dating. Many people believe that a woman has higher emotional intelligence than a man. However, there are some circumstances that make them ignorant about the behavior of their partner. You should work together to easily overcome some trials in your life whether these are small or big issues.
Relationship does not only mean pure love. In order to grow a relationship, you must include all the most important elements that will spice it up. You have to understand the nature of each other and how far will you survive every trial that may come along the way. Misunderstanding and quarrel are both part of your relationship. However, you have to resolve them right away before they even get worse.
Whenever you observed some confusing behavior with your man, the tendency is that you will get frustrated or even mad. This is because you cannot figure out what is on his mind. In some cases, even he is not showing some deep emotions towards a situation, expect that knows what is actually happening. In fact, he may be thinking of the most effective solution for a particular problem or conflict.
