You make my friends think what they have lost

I like your flower photos with the rain drops. Soothing.
You certainly have alot of blooms right now! I'm glad you are enjoying your rain. :-)-- Randy
Rain is always something to be celebrated where I live in the desert. The poem communicates this so well as does your photos :-)
This is an amazing post. Your babies look soooo happy covered in the luminous rain drops. (The poem was perfect for your photos, too!) Thank you for sharing your awesome garden with us. Blessings!!
Ah, the rain is so lovely! Your plants are looking like they think so too.
Incredible photographs!
Your blooms are looking lovely!
Really nice posting all round, Chandramouli!
What a very interesting poem, and beautiful pictures. I'm glad you are enjoying the rain! :)
Wonderful rain shots!!! The first is just gorgeous!
Hello Chandramouli! If the rain keeps that up, you won't be able to move for all the lush green growth on your plants :D
The poem and pictures match perfectly, which is fun to watch. You are singing in the rain but I am crying in the rain. Thunderstorms and daily rains destroyed a few of my darling plants. Here's a song for you:
I saw raindrops on my window,
Joy is like the rain.
Laughter runs across my pain,
Slips away and comes again,
Joy is like the rain.....
I learnt this song at a Methodist missionary school.
So glad to see you have had some rain, Chandramouli. Your plants look so happy!
Enjoyed the poem. A funny story--I copied a poem from a website I often use for one of my posts, and the poet contacted me. Apparently, his poetry was still under copyright. He was very nice about it, though; since then I've been careful about what poems I include, though I think most writers would appreciate the extra exposure.
Gardener on Sherlock Street: Thank you :)
Randy and Jamie: It's been a week now since that wonderful day has gone by. I doubt if it'd rain until late July.
Noelle: So you do understand how precious rains are! Thank you :)
Marion: Thank you, Marion. I wish against hopes that another rain blesses them soon.
Tina: Oh, yea! They loved it and many plants started giving out buds after rains.
Toni: Thank you, Toni :)
Jamie: Thank you
Rebecca: Thank you, but I wish the rain lasted for another day!
Dani: Thank you so much
gippslandgardener: It never lasts more than a say or two here so, I wouldn't have to worry about not getting lush green.
Autumn Belle: I wish it doesn't get bad for you. I just wish some of that rain came here to cool my plants down from this scorching heat.
That's a lovely poem! Thanks a ton!
Rose: LOL! They did, after the rain, Rose, thank you.
This rain post is so lovely! Soon our rainy season will set in. You know that I've long wanted grow jasmines and I've been told that they'll be available in June or July. Hope I'll get Arabian Jasmine 'Maid of Orleans' !! But I'm not sure....
Hi Chandramouli, I too hope your weekend is going great! I clicked on your profile and it said it was not available. Did you know that? It was odd as I'm not used to this happening. You have super rest of your weekend.
Thank you, Sapphire :)
Good luck finding it. I hope you also get Belle of India or better, Grand Duke Of Tuscany which is extra-beautiful. They're easy to grow with Phosphorus rich fertilizer and LOTS of sun.
Tina: It was a busy weekend, Tina. I'd have liked to work in my garden space better [SIGH].
I don't know how it changed - my profile status. Something must have happened when I changed the template... Hmmm.... I fixed it now. Should work alright. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Have a great week ahead!
Beautiful photos, I can almost smell the Maid of Orleans Jasmine, one of my favorite plants. Where I live it must be taken inside for the winter.
Very nice, rain, poetry, pictures. It rained here too today, quite a downpour for a while, and I felt the earth was happy.
Your flowers look very happy to have rain. It really seems to make everything grow practically overnight after a period of no rain.
I thought of you when I planted the Bachelor Buttons seeds this week. I'm trying a new one this year.
You have a lot of healthy looking plants there. I woke up to some light rain this morning. It was the first in over a week. I'm smiling from ear to ear! Since I've started gardening seriously, rain went from gloomy to happy life. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed your garden pictures very much. Im very sure the fragrance from the lilies & the jasmine would have smell very refreshing during this time.
Better say nothing than nothing to the purpose. ........................................
Glad to be back
with this handsome
format, easy, warm
to the eyes!
Your blog is
as usual, an oasis...
No reply of my mail!! :( :(
You have quite a diversity of plants pictured here. You're right about the rain...what a precious commodity it can be!
Oh! with these lovely photographs I am sure the author would have been flattered to lend his poem for use. I wish I could sing the same; the summers are killing us.
Your plants are looking great...nice poem....rain is a good thing! Sugar Melon, you mean watermelon?
Look at all that nice rain!
Is your Oleanders poison there like they are here?? They are so pretty in bloom especially to use them as privacy, but I am so afraid because of all my pets.
Ah, what beautiful blooms. Once I really got into gardening, rain became my friend.
Very pretty, and the flowers match the poem so well. As for my Salvia, it's just for joy. The culinary sage is from Europe. Though the white sage is used by American Indians for incense, we have not tried that yet.

Lingerie S1 Ep9 Model Behaviour
JMadureira | Jul 11, 2012 | 0 comments
"Lingerie" is a sexy new cable series featuring an ensemble cast of beautiful people who design, photograph and model lingerie in New York City's fashion industry. Most of the stories revolve around Lacey Summers, who left a successful modeling career to design lingerie. Lacey lives in a large loft that doubles as her design studio. Her younger brother, Cody, lives a few blocks away with his wing man Russ. What Cody lacks in ambition he makes up for in charm and good looks. He's constantly popping in and out of Lacey's place helping himself to her food and occasionally to her models. Lacey's lingerie is in several NY boutiques yet Lacey struggles to make ends meet as costs for fabrics, photographers and models run higher than her income. To help keep costs down, Lacey decides to rent out her spare room to Vanessa, a beautiful young, want-to-be actress from Seattle. Lacey's best friend, Marilyn, writes for a gossip fashion magazine and does her best to promote Lacey's work, occasionally introducing her to investors and editors who can get her work seen. Unfortunately, one of the investors is more interested in ripping off Lacey's designs than he is in helping her. To complicate an already hectic life, Lacey's on-again-off-again photographer boyfriend, Jason, can't seem to keep his hands of Lacey's models. Jason and Lacey have an open relationship but when Jason sleeps with her new roommate, Vanessa, she realizes she's had enough. She breaks up with Jason and turns her romantic attentions to Rick, a NY City fireman. But Rick finds it hard to relate to Lacey's work. Though he admits he loves to see women in lingerie, he thinks lingerie is only good for as long as it takes a man to remove it from a woman. Rick would rather she go with him on weekend adventures, where they could off-road, climb mountains or camp; however, Lacey's a true city girl and doesn't enjoy the "great outdoors". Their relationship soon drifts apart. Lacey decides to take time off from her relationships and devote her energies to creating a new "Metro" line of lingerie which she promotes during a New York City Spring Fashion Show.

Holiday Deals in Books
Celebrate the holiday season with fantastic books up to 50% off in the Holiday Deals in Books store. |
For example, Paul Revere was able to galvanize the forces of resistance so effectively in part because he was what Gladwell calls a "Connector": he knew just about everybody, particularly the revolutionary leaders in each of the towns that he rode through. But Revere "wasn't just the man with the biggest Rolodex in colonial Boston," he was also a "Maven" who gathered extensive information about the British. He knew what was going on and he knew exactly whom to tell. The phenomenon continues to this day--think of how often you've received information in an e-mail message that had been forwarded at least half a dozen times before reaching you.
Gladwell develops these and other concepts (such as the "stickiness" of ideas or the effect of population size on information dispersal) through simple, clear explanations and entertainingly illustrative anecdotes, such as comparing the pedagogical methods of Sesame Street and Blue's Clues, or explaining why it would be even easier to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon with the actor Rod Steiger. Although some readers may find the transitional passages between chapters hold their hands a little too tightly, and Gladwell's closing invocation of the possibilities of social engineering sketchy, even chilling, The Tipping Point is one of the most effective books on science for a general audience in ages. It seems inevitable that "tipping point," like "future shock" or "chaos theory," will soon become one of those ideas that everybody knows--or at least knows by name. --Ron Hogan --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

The thrust of the book is that there are three things that can converge to bring about dramatic and perhaps unexpectedly fast changes in our society. These are the context (the situational environment - especially when it's near the balance or 'tipping point'), the idea, and the people involved. His point is that very small changes in any or several of the context, the quality of the idea (which he calls 'stickiness', ie how well the idea sticks), or whether the idea reaches a very small group of key people can trigger a dramatic epidemic of change in society.
"In a given process or system some people matter more than others." (p.19). "The success of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and rare set of social gifts." (p.33).
He divides these gifted people into three categories: Connectors, Mavens and Salespeople. "Sprinkled among every walk of life ... are a handful of people with a truly extraordinary knack of making friends and acquaintances. They are Connectors." (p. 41). "I always keep up with people." (p. 44 quoting a "Connector").
Read more ›Gladwell's first example is the resurgence of the popularity of Hush Puppies, which had long been out of fashion, and were only sold in small shoe stores. Suddenly, a group of teenage boys in East Village, New York, found the cool to wear. Word-of-mouth advertising that these trend-setters were wearing the once-popular suede shoes set off an epidemic of fashion change, and boys all over America had to have the "cool" shoes.
Galdwell also examines the difference in personality it takes to trigger the change. For example, we all know of Paul Revere's famous ride, but how many of us know that William Dawes made a similar ride? The difference was that people listened to Revere and not to Dawes. Why? Revere knew so many different people. He knew who led which village, knew which doors to knock on to rouse the colonists. Dawes didn't know that many people and therefore could only guess which people to give his message.
There are several other phenomena that Gladwell examines, showing the small things that spark a change, from the dip in the New York City crime rate to the correlation between depression, smoking and teen suicide. If you want to change the world for the better, this book will give you an insight into the methods that work, and those that will backfire. It's all in knowing where to find The Tipping Point.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
D A+F Majors: I'm writing this because I can't review the survey questions before I answer them, which kinda sux.
A A+F Diversity: It's the best... if you're white, conservative, from the ruling class, and read the NY Times.
C A+F Weather: Because Harvard is the most prestigious and highly selective school in the most powerful country on the planet... we control the weather.
A A+F Drug Safety: It's the best, as it comes direct from Columbia via our Anthropological Survey school who do field trips their monthly - bi-monthly if there's a major event on Campus.
A A+F Transportation: You name it we have it. It's like a perpetual car show. Expensive Cars, Gorgeous Chicks. Asians. RIP Paul...
B A+F Guys & Girls: Since joining Harvard I've seriously improved my pillow-talk, but usually with chicks with non-campus chicks with Headlamp eyes for the College. Where I used to try small talk the morning after, now I just scream at them to leave.
D A+F Parking: Parking is a universal university problem: Kids whose parents live above the ridiculously rich line + Lots of Asians = No parking spaces.
B A+F Athletics: We've got that Asian dude who now plays NBA... An Asian dude, in the NBA... Harvard grads can do anyfling!
C A+F Local Atmosphere: The atmosphere is much better than China, but probably worse than Australia.
C A+F Campus Dining: Food fuels the brain, so you will be pleased to know that many of this country's leaders come from such food groups a burrito, MacDonalds, and Crispy Cream.
A A+F Academics: You get to be around really smart people who will kill to get a better grade for you... seriously.
B A+F Academics: Professors like wearing tweed jackets. The curriculum is offered online. The registration process is selective and 'I'M SO AWESOME!'; the workload is as expected, a workload; there are special study options, study more or study less; and popular study areas include... I forget.
D A+F Off-Campus Dining: Throw your gym membership away. Enjoy as your waistline increases with the knowledge you will gain.
C A+F Facilities: Life on campus is like a warm apple pie, only without the apple... or pie. It's just hard work.
B A+F Facilities: Being at Harvard means you have made it, it means you will became a single-minded narcissist, with sociopath-like tendencies.
A A+F Academics: It is Harvard. Being world-renowned is no joke.
A A+F Academics: There is an unlimited availability of all areas of academics. The world is open to you for whatever.
A A+F Campus Housing: We developed the dormitory system. After all, we are almost 400 years old. The campus housing is unique and amazing with an experience like no other.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: We are in a town next to Boston called Cambridge so we dont have crazy city life like New York but the city is right next to use. Boston and Cambridge are literally the best places to be as a student because there is always something to do if you drag your butt off the couch and find something to do!
C A+F Weather: Typical east coast weather. So west coast kids be warned...there are actual seasons. But in all honesty, people live here all their lives. If you put on a coat and gloves in the winter, you will be totally fine. No complaining.
Parking: No one has cars because it is expensive to have one. And there isnt a need. We are on the outskirts of Boston and so you have subways and buses that will take you wherever you need to go for cheap.
C A+F Athletics: We arent a big athletic school like USC but we do have great varsity facilities that are world renowned. I mean just google Harvard Stadium and gape in awe.
B A+F Guys & Girls: You will meet fascinating people from all over the world. You will learn so much from them in addition to great classes.
C A+F Greek Life: We do not have Frats or sorority houses but have groups of people that belong to them. We also have these things called Final Clubs which are similar. They are male and female final clubs that have a house to socialize and have events but you dont live there. They are pretty exclusive.
A A+F Computers: Wifi everywhere, computer labs in every dorm, printers everywhere, fast network and easy to access. Never a hassle. Ever.

Sorry, there are no reviews.

Challenging, rigorous, and positive all describe students' overall experience at Harvard. The academic challenge initially seems daunting to many students, but the intellectual growth facilitated by this academic powerhouse leaves students pleasantly surprised. The social life of most Harvard students acts as a counterbalance to the intellectual challenge, and not surprisingly, students forge lifetime memories and friends throughout their four years at Harvard.
The Harvard experience leaves most students yearning for more. The University provides undergraduates with a rich history, unparalleled cultural diversity, and intellectual rigor that challenge each student to fulfill every ounce of their potential. Students leave the College satisfied, prepared, and as a stronger, more aware global citizen than when they entered.

Here's why you should double or triple check your knots when tying your boards to your cars.
This all happened at 4 in the morning while we were driving down the expressway. We were all abruptly woken up so seeing my board get run over repeatedly by trailer trucks felt like a dream.
Goodbye DHD board, I don't think I can ever replace you! I kept that little piece of the tail that broke off.

This is the brilliance that results from the secret menu at Chipotle. Quesarito. I'm not sure what the yellow stuff is though. Not part of my regular food groups.
Reese Witherspoon picking up the tabloids but making sure no one can see which ones.
This is Seal's new girlfriend. She used to be a Power Ranger. They have spent the past three days and nights together after meeting Tuesday. Does that make them girlfriend/boyfriend or just in lust?
Salma Hayek and Jada Pinkett Smith. Interesting combo.
Shakira and her boyfriend and their baby. Or the laundry. Probably the baby.

As announced last week, it is time for our Annual Blogger Recipe Contest with the theme of 'No More Mallows'. Regular readers know that sassy sweets are such a versatile and adaptable ingredient that it really is a shame to condemn them to a monotonous culinary role as "that marshmallow casserole." To me, it's like taking a fine dry-aged prime-rib and using it to make a chicken fried steak. Sure, it would probably taste good, but think of the potential cuisine that could have been.
Here is a little inspiration for your recipes. Over the past few years, this blog has highlighted sweet potato biscuits, nachos, cookies, pizza, soup, salad, ice cream, burritos, and sandwiches. Out sassy sweets have been paired with endive, mushrooms, quinoa, avocados, oranges, and even chocolate. They have been featured in Italian, Spanish, German, Mexican, Indian, Jamaican, Korean, Jewish, Chinese, and American cuisine where they were fried, grilled, boiled, baked, sauteed, fricasseed, juiced, gravied, frozen and even served raw….all without a mallow in sight.
And that's not all. The sweet potato truly is the wonder of the kitchen. It is a superfood that tastes delicious…How does it get any better than that? I doubt I could eat spirulina every day, but sweet potatoes are something I just can't do without. I'm eatin' em for breakfast lunch and dinner…and getting all those health benefits with hardly any effort on my part. What's not to love!
As a final bit of inspiration, here is a recipe that is perfect for the season. With St Patrick's Day right around the corned, I am featuring an Irish inspired dish, Sweet potato Stew with Pork. Traditionally, Irish cooks used pork instead of corned beef. The beef tradition was actually started in New York, not Ireland, but I digress. If you just can't do without that corned beef flavor, try adding a bouquet garni of pickling spice as the pork simmers. The spice blend pairs beautifully with pork. And speaking of pairing beautifully, there in almost no better combination than sweet potatoes, pork and onions. Give this recipe a try, and I am sure you will agree.
Irish Sweet Potato Stew with Pork
- 2 pounds boneless pork, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2-1/3 cups chicken broth
- 4 to 5 small onions, quartered
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

I've noticed that I'm having a problem with the speed of sites with Spring Widgets on them, in particular the Christmas Countdown Widget. It's slow and keeps the other sites from loading smoothly.
Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm not talking about this being an issue on my blog but rather other people's blogs. I know this isn't my computer as I use a workhorse load of RAM.

Spring Widget Issues

I haven't noticed. Some folks have so much in their side bar that it takes forever to load.
Your site loads nicely for me. I hope mine does for you.
Have a great day. :) - Wednesday, December 3, 2008 at 7:07:00 PM CST

Not wishing to stir the pot ... but there are also a lot with Christmas music and when several are playing at once well - let us just say it's a little noisy!!
I've also noticed that many sites are now much slower loading than usual - This is bad enough but when the Entrecard square comes on and waits for the whole page to load before the drop sign manifests itself - well even for the most composed ... it's frustrating! - Wednesday, December 3, 2008 at 8:31:00 PM CST

Your site load OK. I have taken off a lot of widgets recently from my blog, as it became heavier and heavier to load.

yes the music has been a big problem for me. but, I can't complain too much because I am a slow load too.
Maybe I will get rid of my Christmas countdown.

I have the Christmas tree widget on my site. I know it takes a split second longer for it to load, but I haven't had any problems with it. I have visited one site that has an auto video playing with Santa and it's driving me nuts. The site never completely loads. It's frustrating because it's one of my regular drop sites for EC.

I used to have the Spring widget on my blog too and it did slow down my site so I took it down permanently. I think it takes up a lot of memory hence slowing down the loading time.

I took my Spring widget Christmas countdown one off and changed it for another. I was either getting all ads or nothing but a little red square with an x in it.

Oh wow first I got my satellite issues worked out. Ha! they reset me, gave me one month free, and also refunded us for last month.
Of course this all took place after I had my hubby call to cancel with them and let them know that I would simply remove their equipment and have another Hughes installed.
Now with that said I do have problems with any and all spring widgets. the only one I have right now on my site is a translator. and I think I am going to change that to another type translator.
Also I removed my Pyzam Christmas countdown. It was loading extremely slow and also kept reminding me that I haven't shopped yet!
Happy weekend:-) - Saturday, December 6, 2008 at 10:06:00 AM CST

When I saw your topic for some reason I thought of spring cleaning, which lead to thinking about "spring clean the widgets from the sidebar." It's late, I'm tired and my brain provided its own interpretation!

Hi, thanks for your comment on my last post. Parents for me are simply guides. We can be strict but not too imposing. The key is to teach our children about what is right and wrong and what is acceptable and unacceptable in the society we live in. I've always adhered to the golden rule, "Do not do unto others..." Thank God we both have wonderful children.

For what it's worth, and for those that wonder, the reason they are slow sometimes is because components like that need to reach out to their server for the content. Every time you refresh a page with one of those components on there, your browser needs to reach out to their servers.
With the number of widgets that could be out there, on all the pages, posts and web sites...it could be causing their servers to be sluggish, and hence, make the page load slow.
Anyway...just in case someone wonders... :) - Friday, December 12, 2008 at 12:22:00 AM CST

A radio was on my wishlist for a long long time. Finally, when I decided to buy, I had to choose between this one and a Sony. I went with Philips as our previous radio which was also Philips was virtually unbreakable and lasted for several years. Another plus point is its great reception quality. Last but not the least, the sound quality is quite good and does not involve too much tuning to get the right frequency.
Ordered it last week and got it delivered in a day - usual flipkart grade delivery :-)
1) The product is not same as what is shown in the photo. The tuning band is vertical and spoils the look of the radio. So the glowing tuning knob also is positioned relatively lower.
2) No DC adapter included - At least flipkart should sell it separately - Three large size batteries can drain quite fast, given the sound output of this radio.
3) When i tried to tune FM 104 (Radio Fever), the slider wanted to settled little higher than where the 104 marking was. I think there is some calibration problem.
4) Bulkier than i expected :-(
5) In gloomy / rainy weather, you might have to pull out the aerial/antenna for better reception, which is bit annoying as it meddles with the carry handle.
6) Don't think anyone will carry this bulky radio, as a torchlite - In my opinion, the torch/flash lite feature is useless.
1) Great sound quality / output
2) Value for money
3) Easy to use for elders as well - after all radio is not a gadget anymore :-)
I ordered this product from flipkart and had it on my door step in 3 days. Great service from flipkart!! Great work guys. You continue to please your customers with such great service
To talk about the radio its a great piece of hardware. The reception is good. Even at my home which is at ground floor the reception quality is quite good. The 425 mW speaker is one strong speaker and when tuned properly the sound quality is quite astonishing. If I set the volume to max I bet my entire building would definitely turn their ears..
One thing I did notice is that the radio doesnt look exactly as shown in its picture. The difference is that the tuning knob is smaller and the tuning strip is vertical and not horizontal as in picture shown on flipkart website. So the overall look is a bit down than the pic. But overall the radio is good.
Some times its annoying to tune it manually. I did not get any batteries with this radio nor any AC adapter.
Great product for price and awesome service by Flipkart!! Keep up the good work guys!!!
I got this product a week before for my mother, but it has won the hearts of everyone in our family. It reminds me of my old days, but at the same time is a very good tuner. It provides very clear FM as well SW reception. Other products at this price(Rs 766, cheapest at Flipkart) either don't provide the SW option or are not very clear on this frequency band.
One negative thing about it is that you either have to buy the adapter separately or use dry batteries, but that's the issue with all other tuners too. The build quality of this product is quite good and plastic doesn't feel like cheap. Also, the sound output is very decent. It is not like Sony, but pretty decent.
I would recommend this product for its simplicity and perfection. Go Ahead and buy this, you won't regret buying it.
Thanks you FlipKart for your quick delivery. As pointed out in other review, this radioset is not the same as shown in the picture, Its actially Philips RL226 http://www.flipkart.com/philips-rl226-fm-radio/p/itmdhq6pfmaha5jb?pid=FMRDHQ53QBAX3AGT&otracker=from-search&srno=t_5&query=radio&ref=ffbbb6f4-369e-492f-bfb4-47d739c04aa7
Only defference between these two product is that this product has an LED torch.
1) Sound quality is excellent.
2) Volume & Tuner control are of good quality.
3) Do not need to raise the antenna most of the time
1) Getiing a 4.5 V adopter is a challenge.
Thanks you FlipKart for your quick delivery. As pointed out in other review, this radioset is not the same as shown in the pict...

Communications Act of 1934
The Radio Act of 1927.
The regulation of the burgeoning broadcasting industry began with the Radio Act of 1927, which for a few years brought order to chaos. But the 1927 act treated radio broadcasting differently from telephone and telegraph communications and set up a confusing range of federal agencies with control over different aspects of the industry. During the first few years of the Radio Act of 1927 it became clear that, while the legislation had done a good job with the radio portion of the industry—especially with the formation of the Federal Radio Commission—it had failed by not including the telephone and telegraph industries within its scope,
Government Regulation.
By 1929 many of the ideas later incorporated into the 1934 act had been discussed and agreed upon by members of Congress but not passed into law. During the first several years of the Great Depression, Congress was more concerned with the economic collapse than with regulatory tinkering. With the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 and a new activist attitude toward government regulation, the Communications Act of 1934 took its place among the other regulatory milestones of the New Deal—the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, and the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938. Like many of these...

Esquire Magazine
Born in the Depression.
Esquire: The Quarterly for Men made its debut on 15 October 1933, near the trough of the Great Depression. The idea of a new men's fashion magazine for the public came from C. F. Peters, a Scandinavian fashion artist, who told three men associated with the trade paper Apparel Arts that a magazine that could be sold or given away to clothing customers would be successful. The three men—David A. Smart, William H. Weintraub, and Arnold Gingrich—worked for nearly a year before coming up with a design for the new magazine, which would combine fashion illustrations and advice with cultural writing.
Quick Growth.
The 5,000 copies of the first quarterly issue reserved for newsstand sales sold out within five hours. The Esquire staff scrambled to recall 95,000 of the 100,000 copies presold to menswear stores so they could be shipped to newsstands. The success of the magazine was so great and such a shock that Smart, Weintraub, and Gingrich quickly retooled Esquire into a monthly, which began publication with the issue dated January 1934. That issue sold more than 60,000 copies. By the end of 1934, sales had reached more than 135,000. With Smart as publisher and Gingrich as editor, sales of Esquire rose to more than 700,000 copies in 1938.

The Golden Age of Radio
The Broadcast Center.
The 1930s were truly the golden age of radio. Radio had been a nationwide phenomenon during the 1920s, broadcasting jazz; it was a fixture of the 1940s, connecting the home front to the war; but during the Depression era of the 1930s radio was something more than an entertainment or communications medium. It was a source of solace, of relief from everyday troubles; a means of escaping hardship, if only for a few minutes. It also embodied the political tensions of the decade. President Franklin D. Roosevelt reassured the nation by radio during his "fireside chats"; H. V. Kaltenborn's broadcasts from Munich in 1938 focused the nation's anxieties on Europe. During the 1930s radio was at the center of American culture.
The Depression.
The Depression affected the radio business much as it did other industries. Large radio manufacturers and broadcasters were hurt slightly; small radio manufacturers and broadcasters were driven out of business. Small radio stations, when they did not fold, weathered the Depression by occasionally trading air time to advertisers in return for room and board for their personnel. Wealthy entrepreneurs unaffected by the Depression increasingly bought up local radio stations, forming chains of broadcast sites and radio networks. If anything the Depression was good for the radio business....

The Martian Invasion
The Mercury Theatre on the Air.
On 30 October 1938, a Sunday evening, the United States was invaded by Martian hordes—or so hundreds of thousands of people believed. Howard Koch's radio adaptation of H. G. Wells's 1898 novel The War of the Worlds was performed on CBS radio by the Mercury Theatre on the Air, directed by twenty-four-year-old Orson Welles. CBS took great pains to ensure that the broadcast seem fictional, including changing real names of institutions to made-up names in the script and announcing at the beginning that the program was an adaptation of The War of the Worlds. Nonetheless, the clever narrative strategy of Koch and Welles and the verisimilitude of the production caused listeners who did not hear the opening of the show to panic when they heard that Martians had landed in New Jersey and were spreading across the country.
The Dangers of Verisimilitude.
Welles and Koch so successfully imitated other types of radio broadcasting—weather reports, dance music, news bulletins—that much of the audience was convinced that they were actually hearing a series of news reports, regardless of their patently fantastic nature. Listeners purportedly heard reporters from Grover's Mill, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere describe Martian spacecraft and weaponry; some reports were cut off in the middle,...

New Magazines
Boom Times.
While the 1930s were a difficult decade for many businesses, magazine publishing flourished during the period. From the pulp magazines to the more respectable "slicks," magazines of widely varying content found a ready market among Americans who wanted either to read about, or, more usually, to distract themselves from, the troubles of the times. General magazines founded before the 1930s, such as the Saturday Evening Post and Reader's Digest, did well, as did Henry Luce's newsweekly Time. Several narrow-interest magazines also succeeded. Though the Depression would hardly seem an ideal time to launch a new business venture, many magazines that have lasted until the end of the twentieth century got their starts in the 1930s,
Success Stories.
Luce's business magazine Fortune, for instance, made its debut in 1930 and quickly offered some of the best contemporary treatments of the Depression. Its generous use of photographs and stylish design influenced Luce's later creation, Life, and many other magazines as well. Family Circle, introduced in 1932, was one of the first women's magazines to be distributed exclusively through grocery stores. The marketing strategy worked. Like its similarly distributed competitor Woman's Day, introduced in 1937, it offered a combination of food and...

Pulp Magazines
A Popular Medium.
Inexpensive magazines publishing fiction that appealed to a popular audience dated back to the end of the nineteenth century. The pulp magazines—so named for the thick, inexpensive pulpwood paper on which they were printed—got their start early in the twentieth century. The pulps flourished in the 1930s, along with radio shows and motion pictures, as a reasonably priced form of escapist entertainment. Hundreds of these magazines appeared between the 1920s and the 1950s, when they disappeared because of competition from paperbacks and television. At their peak pulps were purchased by millions of readers.
The pulps were more adventuresome than radio or movies, which catered to family audiences. The world of the pulps was generally a violent place, whether the stories dealt with cowboys and Indians, crime fighters and gangsters, spacemen and bug-eyed monsters, or warriors such as Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian in Weird Tales. Crime was on the minds of many Americans during the 1930s, and the pulps offered plenty of brave, capable men who could fight it successfully. Colorful heroes abounded, including The Shadow (introduced in 1931) and Doc Savage and The Spider (both introduced in 1933). More down-to-earth were the hard-boiled private eyes who appeared in such magazines as...

Radical Journals
The 1930s were the heyday of the radical journal. Magazines and newspapers of political opinion, cultural criticism, science, and literature, the radical journal was an important forum for expression during the decade. Although radical journals never had substantial readership, their influence on American intellectual and political life was great. Published primarily in New York City, journals such as Partisan Review, The New Masses, and Modern Monthly shaped opinion far from Manhattan, even influencing political opinion abroad, The journals also provided many writers outlets for work that might otherwise have gone unpublished during the Depression, and they gave writers and critics who would become well known in subsequent decades their first experience in political journalism. Most radical journals were exceptionally critical of capitalism, and almost all advocated some type of reform. But they also analyzed, criticized, and introduced new art and literature, Especially in New York, the radical journals of the 1930s were at the center of a vibrant literary culture.
From Masses to New Masses.
Most radical journals of the 1930s followed the stylistic precedent set by the groundbreaking journal The Masses (1911-1918). A combination of socialist advocacy, muckraking journalism, poetry, and art, The...

The Rise of the American Newspaper Guild
A White-Collar Union.
A union of newspaper reporters and editors, the American Newspaper Guild (ANG) was founded in 1933 as a result of the Depression; by 1936 it had affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. One of the nation's first white-collar unions in the United States, it protected the job security of members and agitated for higher wages and better working conditions. The rise of the guild was highly controversial and was accompanied by conservative charges that the ANG was a communist agency seeking to take over the nation's press. The growth of the union was nonetheless striking. and by the end of the decade the ANG had become a permanent feature of the news business.

Although newspaper work was often romanticized during the 1930s, with movies and novels portraying the reporter's life as adventurous and exciting, the reality was far less glamorous. Most newspaper reporters were poorly paid, with small-town and suburban reporters earning as little as six dollars per week or one dollar per day. Working hours were long, ten to twelve hours per day, six days a week. Reporters were regularly told to "stick with" a story even if it meant working fifteen-hour days or longer. So poor was the pay and so long were the hours that many newspapers discouraged their reporters from marrying, aware that such a...

Annenberg, Moses 1875-1942
Immigrant Beginnings.
Th e son of Prussian Jewish immigrants, Moses Annenberg rose from poverty to become a powerful newspaper publisher and racing-news entrepreneur. In 1900, after a meager education and jobs as a junkman, a Western Union messenger, a livery stable boy, and a bartender, Annenberg became a subscription solicitor for the Chicago Evening American newspaper, recently purchased by William Randolph Hearst. In 1904 Hearst started a morning newspaper, the Examiner, and appointed Annenberg circulation manager to establish a place for the paper in the highly competitive morning market. It was Annenberg's job to obtain prime sales locations on street corners. The competition quickly erupted into gang warfare, and Annenberg, along with his brother Max, were deeply involved in the violence. His involvement colored Annenberg's reputation throughout his life.
Wisconsin and Success.
In 1907 Annenberg moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and started an agency to distribute all the Chicago newspapers. The agency was successful, and he started similar businesses in twenty other cities. He also earned a large amount of money with a promotion idea devised by his wife. With the newspapers he distributed coupons offering teaspoons decorated with state seals....

Armstrong, Edwin Howard 189O-1954
Last Great Inventor.
Edwin Howard Armstrong ranks with Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison as one of the greatest of American inventors. Like them, he was a gifted and original thinker, as responsible for modern radio as Edison was for the electric light or Bell for the telephone. Like them, Armstrong worked obsessively and held himself to high moral standards, Unlike them, Armstrong was born in a century when science was rapidly moving from the inventor's shed to the corporate laboratory. In a sense Armstrong was the last of the great nineteenth-century inventors, an individualistic genius who fit poorly into the modern technocracy. While Bell and Edison reaped the rewards of their skills in wealth and prestige and built modern corporations on their inventions, Armstrong spent his life defending his inventions from corporations and had his wealth and prestige stripped from him. By 1954, despondent, bankrupt, his life and marriage shattered by four decades of lawsuits, he killed himself. It was a tragic end...

Capp, Al 19O9-1979
Famous Comic-Strip Artist.
At age twenty-five Al Capp created the comic strip Lit Abner, which he wrote and drew until he ended it forty-four years later. During his career Capp was one of the best-known comic-strip creators in the United States, and he courted the media attention that came his way. John Steinbeck hailed him as "the best satirist since Laurence Sterne/' adding, "He has taken our customs, our dreams, our habits of thought, our social structure, our economics, examined them gently like amusing bugs. Then he has pulled a nose a little longer, made outstanding ears a little more outstanding, described it in dreadful folk poetry and returned it to us in a hilarious picture of our ridiculous selves."
Early Life and Career.
Born Alfred Gerald Caplin in New Haven, Connecticut, he grew up experiencing hunger and want, which he made humorous in the hillbilly setting of Lil Abner, At age nine he lost his left leg after being run over by an ice truck; as a result he read voraciously and took an interest in art at an early age. In his mid teens he hitchhiked through the South, visiting Memphis and the Ozarks, where he gained impressions of backwoods life that would later fuel his career. He studied art at several schools before dropping out to join the Associated Press...

Farnsworth, Philo T. 19O6-1971
The Importance of Technology.
The real pioneers of television were not entertainers or financiers; they were scientists. One of the most important was Philo Farnsworth, who when only a teenager designed the basic system needed to transfer moving pictures over the air waves,
High-School Prodigy.
Farnsworth was fifteen years old, and a high-school student, when he read of the research being carried out in the Soviet Union by Boris Rosing on transmitting moving images by electricity. He quickly designed a schematic drawing of the required system. Farnsworth entered Brigham Young University the next year and remained for two years until the death of his father. A San Francisco banker named William H. Crocker built a laboratory for Farnsworth so that he could continue his research into the practical development of his television system.

Gould, Chester 19O0-1985
A Unique Comic Strip.
Introduced on 12 October 1931, Did Tracy quickly became one of the most popular comic strips of the 1930s and beyond. Its creator, Chester Gould, tapped into a contemporary fascination with crime and gangsters through the popular medium of the comic pages to invent one of the most durable characters in American culture. While other comic-strip creators dealt with crime or detectives, none did so with the visual flair for the urban violence and grotesque villains.
Gould was born in Pawnee, Oklahoma, in 1900. His father published a weekly newspaper, and although Gould studied business administration in Chicago, where he moved in 1921, he went from college to a job drawing for newspapers. An avid fan of comic strips in his youth, he drew his own strips during the 1920s while working for newspaper art departments. In creating Fillum Fables he became one of several cartoonists at the time who offered comic treatments of popular movies, including detective stories. That influence—combined with his youthful admiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and his experience with gangsters in contemporary Chicago—led Gould to create Dick Tracy, "a comic strip character who would always get the best of the assorted hoodlums and gangsters."...

Shaw, Joseph T. 1874-1952
Influential Editor.
Joseph T. Shaw made Black Mask one of the most respected pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s. By publishing the early work of such note-worthy writers as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and Erie Stanley Gardner, the magazine helped to define a whole style, commonly known as hard-boiled detective fiction.
Early Career.
Born in 1874 in Gorham, Maine, Shaw edited the campus newspaper at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. Graduating in 1895, he was briefly employed at the New York Globe and worked for a wool company. He served in World War I, earning the rank of captain and the nickname "Cap." He was also a champion fencer, and when he later lived in New York he was licensed to carry a sword cane. Shaw remained in Europe for five years after the war, distributing food for the American Relief Administration. When he returned to the United States, he did some freelance editing and writing for popular magazines such as Field and Stream and the Saturday Evening Post. From the editor of Field and Stream he learned in 1926 that Black Mask needed a new editor; he got the job.

Thomas, Lowell 1892-1981
On the Radio.
Lowell Thomas made his debute as a newsreader and commentator in September 1930 and continued daily broadcasts until 14 May 1976. Before he became a radio personality, Thomas was already famous as an author, traveler, and lecturer, best-known for With Lawrence in Arabia (1924), the story of his time with T. E. Lawrence during World War I. Thomas's radio job was the result of CBS Radio president William S. Paley's attempt to convince the Literary Digest to sponsor a news broadcast on CBS instead of the news show it had on NBC. Once Thomas made a trial broadcast. Literary Digest publisher R. J. Cuddihy immediately fired his present reader, Floyd Gibbons, and hired Thomas. For six months Thomas's fifteen-minute nightly broadcasts were heard on NBC in the East and on CBS in the West. After that Thomas was heard only on NBC until 1947.
An American Voice.
Thomas had an American voice, without a trace of a foreign or patrician accent. His commentary was balanced politically though always pro-American. His first broadcast included commentary on Benito Mussolini and a little-known German named Adolf Hitler: "There are now two Mussolinis in the world.… Adolf Hitler has written a book in which this belligerent gentleman states that the cardinal policy of his powerful...

Winchell, Walter 1897-1972
Controversial Columnist.
Walter Winchell was the most famous, most popular, and most controversial "gossip" columnist in twentieth-century American journalism. He made a career of printing scoops about celebrities and making "informed" predictions (many of which did not come true). In the 1930s he also began to make partisan political pronouncements.
Winchell was born in 1897 and left school in 1910 to work as a vaudeville performer. After years of minimal success he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1917 and worked in New York City as a receptionist for Adm. Marbury Johnston at the New York Customs House. In 1919 he returned to vaudeville and started a newsletter that featured light vaudeville news and punnish quips such as "You tell'em Quija, I'm bored." In 1922 the Vaudeville Newsy a paper run by a vaudeville circuit, hired Winchell at the salary of twenty-five dollars a week.
In 1924 Winchell became a dramatic critic and Broadway columnist for the New York Evening Graphic. He worked for the Evening Graphic until 1929, his salary rising from one hundred dollars a week in the beginning to three hundred dollars a week before he left for William Randolph Hearst's New York Daily...

Zworykin, Vladimir 1889-1982
The Importance of Technology.
Along with Philo Farnsworth, Vladimir Zworykin developed the technology that made television possible. Because of the success of his technology and the company who produce d it, Zworykin is known as the father of television.
A Russian Beginning.
Zworykin was born near Moscow in 1889, graduating from the equivalent of high school in 1906. He received his electrical engineering degree in 1912 from the Saint Petersburg Institute of Technology, where he remained to study under Boris Rosing, one of the early scientists who developed the idea of television. Later in 1912 he traveled to France, where he studied physics until the outbreak of World War I. After the war, during which he was a signal officer working on radio, Zworykin escaped the Russian Revolution by immigrating to the United States. He eventually found work at the Westinghouse unit of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA),
Early Television.
Because of his background with Rosing, Zworykin worked at developing television. In 1923 he filed his first patent application, for a transmitting tube called the iconoscope. He displayed his invention to Westinghouse management in 1924, but they informed him that while his "demonstration had been extremely...

People in the News
In April 1930 Frank R. Birdsall, editor and publisher of the Yazoo City Sentinel in Mississippi, was shot and killed by Mayor John T. Stricklin because Birdsall had published damaging reports about Stricklin just before the local mayoral election in February.
In February 1937 Walter J. Black introduced Book Digest magazine, which published condensed versions of nonfiction best-sellers; he developed the idea after noticing the immense popularity of Reader's Digest condensed books.
In 1938 O'Brien Boldt, editor of the Daily Dartmouth, developed a plan to send Adolf Hitler a Christmas present of four test tubes containing samples of Jewish, Negro, Mongolian, and "Aryan" blood contributed by undergraduates and to challenge Hitler to tell the difference. The plan fell through when no "pure Aryan" blood could be found.
In July 1939 colorful, well-known New York World-Telegram columnist Heywood Broun advertised for a job because his contract expired in December and would not be renewed. With thirty-one years' newspaper experience, he ended up at the New York Post, working for one-quarter of his previous salary.

I know the coins aren't really useful once you get past a certain point, but I actually still really like playing goals for the sake of playing them. I like having a clear objective when I play Rock Band, what can I say!
The Call Me Maybe Goal

You know something like this would happen.
There should be a Green Day goal. I mean, with more songs then any other artist, you would think it would be obvious.

Great Price
I waited to purchase this sweater once they put it on sale. I'm glad I did. I was able to use Virtual Dollars. This sweater is good quality. I sized up, only because that was the only size left in the store, but it still fit without being too large. This sweater will be dressy and match many other shirts!

Sequin cardigan
I was eyeing this cardigan since it came out. The sequins are lovely, and sturdily sewn on. The coloring is really flatteing as well. This was marked down to a phenominal price, so I jumped on purchasing one. I typically wear a size small, but a medium fit much better (for reference, I'm 5'8, 140lbs, 36B). This is fun to wear with a dress or to dress up a work outfit. For the price, it's a great piece! I try to wear it lightly, because I'm not sure how well it will wash, but it held up a whole day at work and then an evening out to dinner. Glad the sale made this ultra reasonable!
January 5, 2013
It's Cute!
I just wish that the sequins went all the way around the cardigan, instead of just the front!
December 6, 2012
Perfect for the holidays!!!
I haven't worn this sweater yet, but am excited to. I'm a blond, so the light pinky/taupy color is flattering. I normally wear an xs in limited sweaters but got a small in this and its perfect. I would say it looks more taupe in person than pink but I'm sure it depends on the light. Either way its gorgeous and definitely a great buy at the 50% off!
November 28, 2012
Must have for the holidays!
Beautiful cardigan, looks very rich and festive. It does fit a little short and boxy, but the sequins are so worth it.
November 24, 2012
Very pretty
The area over the bust between the shoulders is a little wide and boxy, but it can be place to minimize the look of boxiness. The sleeves kind of get creases in them when they are pushed up the arm and wrinkled a little, which is a bit annoying. The sequins are very beautiful, I was entranced when I first saw them. It is a really wonderful muted blush color; going to be great for this season. Looks classic and good quality. I really love it.
November 21, 2012
Loved it!
This cardigan is a great for layering this fall / winter! Overall, I love this product and would definitely recommend anyone to buy. Plus, you can't go wrong with a little sparkle.

Ordered the deluxe Paris party package. Very cute. Pink and black colors made a statement. Eiffel Tower cut out is large.

On a related note, House confirmed Sony expects Gaikai to continue operating as normal, meaning a deal with rival TV manufacturer Samsung is unlikely to be scuttled.

In fact, it won't require any downloads at all or permissions from Java – something Gaikai CEO David Perry mentioned he was previously trying to eliminate. Using NaCL, Gaikai can run at 60fps, and to show how well it runs, the firm demoed Bulletstorm – posted below – running on a Samsung Chromebox during its stage demonstration.
