AMARILLO, TEXAS -- As if the plants, flowers and trees aren't enough, the Panhandle Greenhouses are "going green".
Because of the drought and water shortages this year, the greenhouses have installed a rain water storage facility where they now have the ability to catch up to 10,000 gallons of rainwater per every inch of rain. That water will in turn be used to water their plants, to help conserve. Conservation will also be one of the topics in the greenhouses upcoming seminars where they'll educate the public, free of charge, on many gardening topics.
"We want people's gardening experiences to be a pleasure and not a in Amarillo, Texas sometimes it's a little more difficult to garden so we're just trying to teach," said Owner of the Panhandle Greenhouses, James Cathey. "We've got to start conserving water plus the rain water is so much better for your plants and your landscapes than the water we're pumping out of the ground."
The first seminar will be held Saturday morning at ten at the Panhandle Greenhouses located at 11900 South Washington.For more information about upcoming seminars, check out their website.

Remember when everyone with their own business wanted to work from home? The benefits seemed endless - making calls in your pyjamas, meeting clients at Starbucks, free coffee in your own kitchen. The setup had its pluses and plenty of converts. But there were drawbacks.
Downsides included working in your pyjamas and meeting clients at Starbucks. In other words, isolation and a loss of professionalism and structure.
But technology usually catches up to problems, and in March, 2009, Toronto entrepreneur Gratuz Devanesan jumped on a trend he sensed was about to take off - the virtual office, or as he likes to call it, "the office cloud."
Mr. Devanesan, who had previous experience working out of his own apartment, knew the drawbacks first-hand. And he was encountering people with small, startup businesses who were struggling to work at home, or just lacked the capital to set up a large, professional office of their own. He wanted to offer a solution.
More on innovation:
- Disposable gadgets irk former Apple designer
- Video: 'To innovate you have to court failure'
- Video: Express your brand
"We were looking at how we could improve people's office expenses and experiences by providing a professional service at a substantially lower cost," he says.
"A lot of people with a business don't actually need a permanent, elaborate space. They just need a professional space they are comfortable working in - a place to meet with clients and present things. We realize that small companies, when they get off the ground, just really need an address, and a meeting space, not a long lease and a lot of expense. That's when we realized the idea of a virtual office had potential."
On that premise, in March, 2009, he started Officeexec. Today the company has 120 virtual clients and 45 permanent office clients and will open its fifth location in Mississauga by the end of the year. The offices are in prime Toronto locations - Bay and Bloor streets, the heart of the financial district on Bay Street, Yonge and Sheppard, and Bloor Street West near High Park.
The smallest office space available is 60 square feet, the largest, 400 square feet. There is no long-term lease - clients rent what they need by the month. Officeexec also offers spaces that can be rented by the day, or on an as-needed basis.
Mr. Devanesan's goal is to create an "office cloud" around Ontario's Golden Horseshoe. He also sees opportunity for expansion in Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver. "I'd like to create a virtual office grid," he says.
For $149 a month, clients receive the roaming use of office space at any location, or permanent space where they need it. They also get full receptionist services - there's always someone to answer the phone in your company name, forward messages and sign for deliveries. They get an address and portable phone and fax numbers they can take with them. Clients also get 10 hours of boardroom time each month.
But Officeexec isn't just for startups. Established businesses have found the service useful as well.
Carter Hoppe, an immigration lawyer with offices in Toronto and Dubai, says: "Every once in a while I wonder how I practised law 15 years ago."
Mr. Hoppe has been in business for 30 years and spends two-thirds of the year in Dubai, and the rest of the time in Toronto. He wants to feel at home when he's working in Canada, and toyed with office options. He considered renting space from another law office - at a cost of $1,500 to $2,000 a month - but stumbled across Officeexec's services while researching options.
Now he is sold on it.
"The virtual office is an in-between method," he says. "Previously in my career I had a full standing law office and wasn't getting much benefit from it.
"The downside is it's not mine and my name isn't on the wall. But that's minor compared to the positives of very minimal overhead costs and not having to sign a lease."
His month-to-month deal with Officeexec, since December, 2009, provides him with office space at Bay and Bloor, phone and fax service and numbers he can take with him, a receptionist to answer the phone and accept mail and 12 hours of fully equipped boardroom availability, all for $149 a month - what he calls a "superior product at a fabulous price."
Adam Evans, chief executive officer of Evolve Thought Media Group, a new, small advertising agency specializing in Web design and online marketing, has been using Officeexec for a little more than a year and loves the flexibility. "Essentially they don't charge for the little things that some of their competitors will - they include everything at one fair price. Basically, it helps keep overhead costs low."
His previous company, which he sold, paid about $4,000 a month for a physical office space. He currently spends $149 a month. "I don't foresee an end to our relationship any time soon," Mr. Evans said.
He has recommended Officeexec to five of his clients, and all have signed on to work in the "cloud office."
"We don't want startup businesses to feel small and startup," Mr. Devanesan says. "And we don't want people who have been in business a long time to feel worried about their professionalism and clients judging their setup. We really feel like we can service any kind of business, and give them all the professionalism they need without any burden."

The German parent company of laminate flooring maker Pergo has put its North American operations on the block, according to an article in the Triangle Business Journal of Raleigh/Durham North Carolina.
Although no buyer has been identified yet, a company spokesperson for Pfleiderer AG, which also owns fiberboard producer Uniboard, said the parent company hopes to conclude the sales process for its North American operations by mid-2012.
Pergo employs approximately 165 people at its flooring manufacturing plant and distribution facility in Garner, N.C., according to the article. Uniboard opened a $160 million expansion of its wood-paneling plant in Moncure, N.C., in early 2010 and employs about 250 people in Chatham County. The Moncure plant is Uniboard's largest and most technically advanced fiberboard plant in North America. The company has four other plants in Canada.
Pfleiderer underwent a financial restructuring earlier this year, and as part of its deal with creditors, the company needs to reduce hundreds of millions in debt, according to the article.

Testing ideas and products:
Research and development labs ensure quality
Highly qualified employees in the development and construction sectors and the latest measuring and testing equipment guarantee that mdexx products always fulfil the highest quality demands. New developments are tested on over 1000 square metres of laboratory space, where type tests in accordance with national and international norms and systems, ageing and material tests are carried out. Throughout all branches, unique in Europe! For example, in the mdexx laboratories with autarchic power supply reactors and filters are tested, electromagnetic compatibility is tested, surge voltage tests and warm-ups are carried out. In the mdexx ventilator laboratory extensive ventilatory measurements are carried out in standardised testing chambers and duct measuring instruments, which provide information about the ventilator characteristics and performance data of the motors. Client Test Data Programmdexx is UL-certified for the "Client Test Data Program" so for a UL-Approbation the required tests can be carried out independently and shorter approval times can be achieved. |

I'm all for Genis coming back but I'm fine with A-Bomb thank youGenis-Vell - Captain Marvel - Marvel's best legacy hero. Genis really had potential to be one of the greats. Powerful, quirky, great character. Plus, Rick Jones must loose the A-Bomb foolishness and merge with him again. Their relationship had a twist that was one of the most original in comics.
Nobody is going to be surprised when I suggest the Foolkiller, but I am anyway. Seriously, this guy could be Punisher level. He's carved himself from a schlub into a warrior. He has a solid but misguided mission, a powerful weapon and underworld connections. Why his only appearance in the last decade is punching Spiderman in the face in prison is beyond me.
Also, The Orphan Maker. A child is stuck in a suit of killer armor by a psychotic "Nanny" and sent into the world to kill the parents of super powered children. How has someone like the FF or the Avengers not gotten involved there?
One more thing, Did I miss something or did Jazinda just disappear. You know, the hot, immortal, shape-shifting, alien bounty hunter.

I've always thought Midnight Son was kinda cool.
He had sort of a space ninja/detective look. Visually, that just worked for me. And the fact that he was mute gave him sort of a Snake Eyes vibe.
Black Queen (Selene) She could be the Wicked Witch of the Marvel Universe. I think she could be a little more powerful than the Scarlet Witch. It should be said how long until she has to drain a person's lifeforce to keep her outside beauty. I think she could also be a enemy of Ghost Rider since she could be characterized as Supernatural.
Shocker Maybe he could work as a bodyguard for a politician, or a enforcer for Mr.Negative, or the Kingpin. Of all Spider Man foes he's aware of his limits. I think he should get a miniseries showing why he decided to rob banks, and use gauntlets.
Shocker is far from underrated and underused...
I'd just like everyone to know that not only am I dropping Marvel, I'm dropping this forum considering I'm not even allowed to voice a negative opinion because a thread "isn't about me".
Diamondback for reasons already stated in the thread. But please give her a new costume.
Agents of Atlas is one of the most fascinating ideas from Marvel in years - a team of 50's heroes united as heads of a criminal organisation, operating often against that organisation to transform it into a force for good, while the world still perceives them as villains. A fantastic idea featuring an amazing team of interesting and idfferent characters. A shame it couldn't find an audience.

Creasy interviews Alice Waters of Chez Panisse about her use of flowers in meals at her famous Berkeley restaurant; Waters recounts the curious effect cooking with flowers has on diners. "The flowers are a fascination. People really focus on them and are curious." This curiosity stems from a cluster of superstitions: that all flowers are somehow poisonous, that beautiful things should not be touched or consumed, that vegetables are the sturdy, useful plants while flowers are "for show." Reading The Edible Flower Garden, I remembered the summer I forgot to pick my artichokes, and they basked in the sun long after they were ripe. One day I looked out and it was as if a spell had been cast: the ugly green artichoke scales were gone, transformed into blinding purple flowers. Color is always hiding somewhere, and it is wonderful to allow it to flourish, like Creasy does, in places where it is not expected. --Emily White

Emphasis is given to creating gardens that will supply those flowers. It takes a lot of flowers for most recipes, so it is good to know how many of each to plant and when to harvest. While traditional herbal flowers like lavender and borage are included, there are also selections on vegetable flowers, as well as, some more unusual flowers like lilacs, apple blossoms and begonias.
I particularly enjoyed Ms. Creasy's experiences with Alice Waters of Chez Panisse and the edible flower gardens they create to supply fresh flowers for their world renowned restaurant.
Of course, the beautiful photos of the Edible Flower Canapes, the Pineapple Sage Salsa and the Rose Petal Sorbet weren't bad either.

Dear Diary, I think we may have discussed a few of the reasons that it's okay to pay full price for something in the past, but I'm almost positive that we haven't addressed the possibly 'quirkiest' reason that I have: spite. Yes, spite. You see, when others make mistakes that make themselves look stupid, it makes me embarrassed for them. When they do something to intentionally hurt others, I get mad. Today is a great day. It marks the start in a time-saving way of my rural life. Today is the day that our Dollar General opens. We are approximately 8 miles from the nearest town. This town boasts 3 gas stations, a grocery store, a nurse practitioner, a bank, an insurance agency, and two restaurants. From the driveway to Dollar General, it is 15 miles in either direction to another town that boasts a Price Cutter and a Wal-Mart (45 miles to the nearest Kroger affiliate). I've spoken publicly before about the bait and switch issues at our grocery store, along with additional pricing issues- pricing issues that led to corrections on 80% of our receipts in 2010. In the past 2 weeks, I've stopped in to pick a handful of staples a few times, and both times I paid with cash, I've been shortchanged. This is a chain store, and to be fair, I will tell you that the problems are chain-wide, not just locally. Two weeks ago, said grocery store got this brilliant idea to actually compete with the Dollar General- before they opened! What did they do? They took some extremely cheesy yellow hand-written signs (cheez-whiz yellow, in fact) and undercut the Dollar General prices by 1¢. Well, they really didn't undercut it, and they were matching generic for generic. I'll tell you straight up, I'll pay a penny more for Dollar General's level A generic over Always Save products (ranked right up there with Taco-Bell meat). This has me a trite miffed. More than a trite. I'm t-totally ticked. To publicly call out an establishment that can only HELP your business makes you look like a jerk. We spend very little money there because of their shady practices, but an ethical stab is too much. I KNOW their toilet paper is cheaper- half the price even, but I don't care. I packed the kids up, drove right by the lower priced store, pulled up at my shiny, yellow clad slice of heaven and dropped eight bucks on a package of Charmin. Yes, I know, if I were a *real* Extreme Couponer, I'd have added on a room for toilet paper. However, in case you haven't heard, Extreme Couponers are going to ruin couponing for everyone. There may be NO great coupons in seven years (because if everyone's getting a free life supply, the manufacturers will stop issuing coupons due to a low profit margin)- the amount of time it will take the existing toilet paper shrine to turn to dust. Then we're all going to spend the rest of our lives paying full price to flush our paycheck down the tubes. You might have heard that I dabble in grocery marketing. I know, it's just a tad- not like I'm a C-List celebrity that has appeared with famous people such as: (ah- this isn't for bragging) or anything. For some reason, stores pay the big bucks for advice like mine, so I'm going to offer a tip to our local store (you know who you are): STOP FIGHTING THEM! Dollar General is only going to better your business. Dollar General will carry a very small percentage of duplicate products- as do the gas stations in town. What you can do is capitalize on their newfound success by sharing customers. There are very few reasons to even leave the town now. If you would understand that this will keep a much larger portion of the town's shoppers actually in town (instead of driving 30 miles round trip to the newest supercenter), you could work this to your advantage. Three other cars left Dollar General when we did. Guess where they went? That's right! The grocery store! Yes, I paid double for my toilet paper and drove directly past a much cheaper place. Do I feel badly? Nope! Would I do it again? Yup! I don't feel it's okay to support any store, business, restaurant, etc., that treats you as if you owe them something for simply being open. Whatever happened to good old customer service? This was a bit more cynical than most of the Diary of a Discount Shopper posts.

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Archive: 07/2009
Look at Me! No. Look at You!
Toward the end of a long day last week, tired of looking at and thinking about still pictures, I decided to take a break to check out what kinds of videos about photography had been posted on YouTube. The key word "photo" yielded 885,000 videos and feeling a little daunted, I started scanning the first couple of hundred to see what turned up. All the how-to videos about technical issues were pretty much what you'd expect them to be. I was surprised, and after a while I wasn't, by the volume of videos uploaded to document—and further publicize—the process of celebrity photo shoots. And while videos that collect and animate sequences of self-portraits, shot one-a-day, have become a cliché, one that crammed 17 years worth of self-regard into a couple of minutes seemed almost as poignant as it is narcissistic.
Interestingly, the video that was the most fun to watch was a Tonight Show riff (made during Jay Leno's reign) on the classic Candid Camera stunt of photographing people when they least expect it. But in this case, the inadvertent featured players were photographed as they entered a photo booth and as the supposedly automated camera started telling them exactly what to do . . .
The Camera Loved Einstein
This post is second in a series that highlights some of our most popular photos on the Flickr Commons.
This photo of Einstein pictured with a group of intellectuals is one of our most popular images on the Flickr Commons. As many of our Flickr users have noted, and as a kind of illustration of Einstein's renown, he is the only identified scientist in this group portrait of venerable scholars titled, "Portrait of Albert Einstein and Others." Einstein is possibly the most celebrated scientist, or for that matter public figure, in popular culture. He's immediately recognizable, like Elvis and Madonna, which got me thinking: beyond his undeniable brilliance, why is Einstein's face (rather than that of myriad other scientists) so etched in our visual consciousness?
One reason is that he simply looked the part—something clearly evident in the contrast between him and his combed colleagues in our photo. Einstein had the crazy hair, the rumpled jacket, and the slightly bewildered demeanor that now sum up the "absent-minded professor" stereotype. Einstein became world-famous in 1919 when measurements made during an eclipse confirmed his prediction of how much gravity bends light, immediately causing a press sensation. This was at a time when publicity was still deemed distasteful by most (shocking in 2009, I know!), and when Einstein allowed his portrait to be printed in a book on relativity, fellow scientists and friends were dismayed. And while he could've refused to give interviews or pose for photographs at this point, he did not. In fact, though Einstein publicly played coy and pooh-poohed the press, he and his wife did court the press to some degree.
The photo above was taken in 1931 while Einstein was a visiting scholar at California Institute of Technology. Headlines from his visit to California, some reminiscent of Us Weekly headlines, reveal the star power of Einstein and his own push-pull relationship with the press: "EINSTEIN PROVES HE'S PROFESSOR; Scientist Absent Mindedly Strolls Into Dining Room in Pajamas," "Dr. Einstein Gets 'Kick' Out of Press Quiz; REPORTERS QUERY WIZARD," "EINSTEIN WAVES ASIDE LURING MOVIE OFFERS," "Einsteins Guests of Charlie Chaplin At Dinner at Hollywood Home." The press liked Einstein—his forgetfulness was charming, his "twinkling brown eyes" and good sense of humor made his brilliance accessible, and they could always count on him for some quip or pithy quote. And the visibility of Einstein in the press was only magnified with the development of new media practices emerging during that time: he appeared in popular news magazines, photographs of him were circulated widely to newspapers across the country via the Associated Press, and newsreels chronicled his travels and discoveries (see a newsreel of his arrival in California here, complete with singing schoolgirls).
However, what continues to make Einstein so memorable beyond his bookish looks and legacy with the press, is that looking at Einstein is like looking at the visual symbol of "genius." This "wizard" of science, able to tease out the universe's unseen and hidden secrets, possesses something almost magical. As my colleague Marvin mentioned, he's the only one in our photograph not looking at the photographer, just another indication of "a guy who was in a class, and a world, all his own." And that's what draws me, at least, back to this photo: I can't help but imagine that by looking at Einstein, I might access a smidgen of this genius essence.
Snapshots at the Shore
To celebrate the season, we have a series of posts looking at images of summer in the Smithsonian photo archives and collections. To start things off, Mary Savig, Archives Specialist at the Archives of American Art, describes how artists recharged in the summer months. Like eager vacationers everywhere, artists have long escaped to the beach on hot summer days. The shore provided an invigorating environment free from the distractions and stress of cities. These sojourns also allowed artists, critics and writers to discuss their lives and art as they wiggled their toes in the sand. The Archives of American Art contains in its collections hundreds of snapshots of artists' summer excursions. Explore this virtual photo album for a sampling. Modernist painters Konrad Cramer and Andrew Dasburg recline along a Provincetown, Massachusetts beach with journalist and prominent Communist leader, John Reed. Provincetown was an intellectually stimulating gathering place for poets, artists and writers from New York. Abstract Expressionist painters Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner worked in a studio in East Hampton, just a short distance from the beach. On this occasion, they were joined by fellow painter Helen Frankenthaler and influential critic Clement Greenberg. All of the artists shared the technique championed by Greenberg of dripping, pouring or flicking paint against large canvases. Perhaps the rhythmic crashing of the waves reminded the artists of their own dramatic gestures performed while painting; after all, it was Pollock who famously stated, "I am nature." The summer sun and sandy beaches also enticed artists to concentrate fully on their work. Rather than sending emails from a lawn chair, they set up easels and tripods along picturesque vistas. Photographer Brett Weston spent hours along the craggy beaches of California to capture images of waves and clouds. Friend and painter Harry Bowden took this snapshot of Weston as he balanced himself and his camera on rocks to snap the perfect shot. Provincetown was home to the Cape Cod School of Art, founded in 1889 by Charles Webster Hawthorne. This was one of the nation's first summer schools to hold classes outdoors. Students painted en plein air, or in the open air, along boardwalks and beaches. Other schools began cropping up as it became more popular for students and teachers to leave their city studios for an energizing destination each summer. Watercolorist Millard Sheets was a keen observer of people and the environment. He drew from the vibrancy of the California sunshine as he painted a model on a timeworn boat. His paintings were modernist for his time, but his technique of painting en plein air was classic. Beach settings proved inspirational to a dynamic mix of artists working in abstraction, figuration or photography. The communal environment also instigated critical thinking and advanced life-long friendships. Renewal and reconnection are vacation goals shared by us all as we head off for our vacations. Just remember to bring a camera!
Mary Savig of the Smithsonian Archives of American Art
Look! Up In the Sky! It's . . .
It was 3 o'clock in the morning and something out of the ordinary was happening. And good neighbor that she is—although it might not seem that way to all of you—Terry Mann grabbed her camera then started waking people up. There wasn't anything wrong in the neighborhood, but she knew they'd want to witness something as spectacular as it was unusual, an aurora lighting up the Ohio sky with waves of vivid, changing colors. Terry, current president of the Astronomical League, a group of over 240 local amateur astronomical societies across the country, writes about the surprising differences between what she could see in person and in the photographs she took in the middle of the night, in a piece recently posted on click! photography changes everything . . .

H1N1 School Clinic Update
This following information is also being sent through Infinite Campus:
January 2010
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Happy 2010 and wishes for a healthy new year! We want to let you know that the Public Health- Madison and Dane County is planning to resume the H1N1 immunization clinics in the McFarland School District. At this time, clinics are scheduled for the following dates and locations:
Locations Permission due dates Clinic Dates
C.E.E.L.C. January 13 January 19
Primary January 20 January 25
High School January 28 February 2
WIS February 3 February 8
IMMS February 5 February 10
Due to the lapse in time from the receipt of the original consent forms (October) and the likelihood that some information may have changed, we are requesting that a new consent form be completed and returned to your child's school health office. You may also download new forms from the McFarland School District's website in an English version or Spanish version.
Please note that on the Public Health consent form you need to pay close attention to questions 1, 3 and 4. If you check yes for these questions, explain in detail the type of allergy, vaccine, or reaction. This information will assist the Public Health staff in determining type of vaccine for your child-nasal or injection.
If your child has received the first dose of the H1N1 vaccine elsewhere, and needs a second dose (required for children ages 9 or under), he/she may obtain the second dose at this school clinic. However, it must be at least 21 days from the first vaccine to the second dose. Please indicate on the consent form if you are requesting the second H1N1 dose. Also include the date of the first vaccine (dose).
Note: Public Health will not be conducting an additional round of school clinics. For children (age 9 and under) who will require their second dose, please refer to the Public Health website for information on locations of community clinics or contact your health care provider to obtain the second dose.
If you have further questions regarding the immunization clinic, please do not hesitate to contact us.

NP Rank:
Dennis Karbovanec Gets Life For Surrey Six Killings
Dennis Karbovanec has received a life sentence, with no possibility of parole for 15 years, after pleading guilty to three counts of second-degree murder in the so-called "Surrey Six massacre".
Last week the Red Scorpion gang member entered a surprise guilty plea in connection with the deaths of Chris Mohan, Michael Lal and Ryan Bartolomeo.
They and three others were killed in an apartment in the Balmoral Tower high-rise in October 2007.
The sentence was handed down Thursday after B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Patrick Dohm imposed a ban on the sentencing hearing of the long-time gangster, who admitted he killed three of the six slaughtered in a Surrey highrise on Oct. 19, 2007.
Dohm said the other three men accused in the plot could have their fair trial rights prejudiced if details of Karbovanec's plea bargain are made public.
Nor are circumstances of what happened in suite 1505 18 months ago allowed to be published or broadcast, Dohm said.
"It does appear to me on the information presently before the court that the situation presented here today is a classic one where a ban on publication is absolutely essential," Dohm said.

Second, I agree with the other commenters in this thread. There is a huge difference between a student taking his very first solo flight and an experienced pilot taking a solo flight in a plane he is learning to fly. It would have been worth trying to get that straight ahead of the article, because my instinct was to ask how on earth it could be that anyone would do their first solo in a vintage plane.

Got Bed Bugs? Bedbugger Forums » General Topics
BUG ID Please [a: beetles; suspected grain or pantry beetles]
(6 posts)-
I found a bunch of these on my window sill.. I must have cleaned the sill about a week or two ago at the most but found a bunch.
http://tinypic.com/r/2cdzu6c/6Thank you.
It's a beetle. NOT a bed bug.
paul b.
What kind of beetle might it be? I think I am having skin reactions to them once in a while... and what do you do to get rid of these in an apartment?
Thank you.
I can't see them very well, but it looks like something I get. It will be interesting to see what the entomologists say.
I am on a mobile so I cannot be certain, but they look like sawtoothed grain beetles.
Entomologist -
I would not expect this type of beetle to cause any skin reactions or harm.
To get rid of them:
> First, this dependes on what it is EXACTLY and we don't know this by these photos.
> If it is a grain or pantry type pest beetle then do this:
* Inspect your pantry for any foodstuffs that may be infested.
* Remove all infested foods, if any.
* Inspect all cracks & crevices.
* Vacuum thoroughly.
* Treat and/or seal all cracks & crevices.
* Follow up inspect.> If it's not a grain type beetle pest, you will need to inspect and check the areas from which this type of beetle may be coming from.
Hope this helps ! paul b.

Although teens may adamantly deny what I am about to reveal, it is closer to truth than myth that moms are behind some of our latest, hippest fashion trends. So as another year of wearable innovations hits the catwalks and school crosswalks, let's give some props to moms hard at work behind the scenes.
Hair braids
The return of the classic French braid as well as the evolution of fishtails, waterfall braids, and roped hair in all sizes that circle the crown, lead to a ponytail or otherwise creatively set a girl apart from the crowd, is something of a ploy secretly instigated by moms. During the last year, I've had more conversations with my teenage daughters while my hands were entangled in their long hair than at any other time. Without new braid ideas and my nimble fingers, communication with my independent girls might have been entirely reduced to texting and schedule management.
Ripped jeans
One confirmed way in which 40-something moms are nothing like the generation before is the acceptance of mildly ripped jeans as a fashion trend. We refuse to be like our moms of the 1970s who preemptively installed thick patches into the knees of Toughskin jeans for rough and tumble boys. We've even been known to buy jeans already ripped. I vividly remember that fifth-grade day when my favorite jeans split a little at the knee. During an entire music practice on the bleachers, I sat with my hand on my knee to cover the infraction so my well-dressed friend wouldn't notice. I knew my mom would either offer to patch the hole or deem them unwearable unless they were cut into shorts. Both options were unbearable at the time. Today, jeans with rips on the knees that don't expose too much skin give a breather to mom's budget and reduce fashion anxiety immensely.
Flowing shirts, longer skirts and scarves
"Enough is enough" is the mantra of moms everywhere who have hated the last decade of tight and revealing everything. Although I am not usually one to make a scene, I had a loud conversation once with the manager of a popular clothing store at the mall asking why the designers of her inventory thought every low-cut neckline in the place would be appropriate for young girls. I was trying to buy cotton summer dresses but they all dipped so low in front that you had to buy three more items to layer them enough to cover cleavage. Relief and reprieve has come as of late with new fashion trends that include flowing shirts, longer skirts and beautiful scarves. Thank heaven, someone is finally listening.
Neon and ugly sweaters
For those who enthusiastically enjoyed the fashion revolution of the 1980s, we knew some things would recycle sooner rather than later. It was several years after my husband and I married that I finally helped disassemble the shrine of his room and closet. He still had acid-wash jeans on the shelf and Cosby-like sweaters that were too classic to toss. I packed a box labeled "'80s clothes" and saved it like a time capsule. My daughters and their friends were the first to open the treasure box in preparation for a high school spirit week that included '80s day. Their squeals of delight were payment enough for toting that box during our last three moves. The only surprise came when one daughter picked an "ugly sweater" from my closet shelf rather than from the antiquities box, thus proving that once you're converted to neon and bulky sweaters, it's hard to let go.

JC Penney is upping the ante for its competitors in the whole social networking/e-commerce game, announcing this week that its full catalog will now be available on Facebook with all the shopping bells and whistles included.
Powered by Usablenet, the fully integrated application expands on the social networking tools that we've seen come out over the last two years and will be available under the Shop tab on JCP's Facebook fan page.
Users will have a full range of shopping options with the new service, including the ability add and/or remove items from a shopping cart, as well as checkout, pay with credit cards, and tailor their shipping addresses and information. And taking a page from the likes of SortPrice.com's own merchant store application, JC Penney's also includes community features that let Facebookers compare, share and like products as well.
"With over 1.3 million friends and growing, our Facebook page remains a vital tool for engaging our customers as they explore and share the JCPenney brand," said Tom Nealon, JCPenney group executive vice president. "By introducing commerce capability, we are able to take our Facebook experience to the next level, providing convenient features that encourage social integration and user contribution as our customers shop."
This is the first social networking application produced by Usablenet, which traditionally has specialized in mobile web, kiosk, tablet, and assistive solutions. Bringing the company's expertise in those other areas to this new venture, Usablenet's platform for JC Penney has a few other features as well, including:
–Curated Inventory: selected categories and products from the traditional e-commerce website are now extended to Facebook;
–Search: enables full search of all products currently included in the brand's product pages;
–Review: product display pages are integrated with reviews API, allowing users of the community to comment on a product;
–Analytics: Usablenet supports Google Analytics to understand and maximize ROI by tracking campaigns, page metrics, and e-commerce conversions.
"By extending the Usablenet platform to Facebook, we now allow our clients to leverage the same robust, reliable, secure platform to the world's largest social network as an additional channel to increase sales," said Nick Taylor, Usablenet President. "Retailers, such as JCPenney, can now drive revenue by engaging with fans, displaying products, supporting full purchase, and tracking analytics within their Facebook communities."
We haven't heard of any other retailers bringing Usablenet on for a Facebook solution, even though the company boasts more than 300 clients. It remains to be seen if Usablenet, even with a high profile addition such as Penney's, can compete in an area where other companies have been flourishing for the better part of two years already.
As always, we welcome your thoughts and comments!

Polish Arts Festival was very pleased to have 10 writers take part in Once Upon a Deadline in Translation.
For the Gdansk event they were:
Phil Terry - "The experience was great – and thanks for the translations of Polish poets which are beautifully done both in terms of production and translation, I don't know how the originals read but it is rare to read translations which read so like, well, poems that aren't translations."
Kerry Hudson "I learned lessons, had conversations and produced work during my four days in Gdansk that will genuinely help shape my development as a writer and influence the work I produce in future. I am hugely grateful to have had the opportunity to participate and hope it will be an event which will continue to inspire writers like myself for years to come."
Peter Moore
Christopher Shevlin - "I'm glad I went to Southend and heard the Polish writers' stories – it seemed to complete the experience."
Hamid Ismailov
The Polish writers in Southend were:
Urszula Chowaniec - "We live in times when we see it more and more clearly how important the translator is as an artist and that their work is sort of re-writing the work, rather that copying."
Daniel Odija - "Among other things, such projects allow us to take a closer look at the world and to experience it all in direct contact."
Przemek Gulda - "I also enjoyed the concept of working to a tight deadline, this really helps with motivation and the improving of one's own organisational skills."
Waldemar Bawołek - "The trip was a new experience for me. In a town like Southend we are dealing with a very specific kinds of culture. I would like to write about it in future texts."
Adam Wiedemann - "It was good to hear my own work in translation."

The skip makes its shots last, which makes it more difficult because there are several stones on the ice. The lead is first to shoot, making this the easiest shot because there are not many stones on the court. The lead also sweeps for all of the players. The second player also sweeps for the whole team. The vice only sweeps for the lead and second.
Each team receives eight stones with each member receiving two stones. The players deliver each stone by grabbing the handle and pushing it, adding a little spin to it. The stone "curls" toward the house, or target. According to www.circlecitycurling.com, "The team with stones closest to the center of the house scores points."
While one player is delivering her stone, two other team members use brooms to sweep the ice in front of the stones to help them progress farther.
According to the WCF, or the World Curling Federation, "Curling is a game of skill and of tradition. "Each team consists of four members: the skip (captain), lead (first), second, and vice (third).

As you are one of the rational posters here, I'd be interested in hearing your answer when you have the time.
I'm not necessarily saying it has to be a government program (although that would seem to be the most obvious solution). I'd be interested in hearing any realistic approach. You say science has advanced to the point where we know what causes children to be conceived, but we have 10+ years of a number of states teaching the highly ineffective approach of "abstinence only" education. Abstinence indeed will prevent children, but that ignores the fact that science shows that kids taught abstinence-only actually DO screw and therefore get pregnant. Of course a broad-based approach which includes a discussion of abstinence but also talks about various other birth control methods would be part of a sane plan to reduce abortions (another reason republican logic fails on this issue).
Yes, I completely understand personal responsibility. Is that your answer to the single mom who has 3 kids by age 22? Tell her "tough luck - you should have been more responsible" and leave her 3 kids out to dry? Or do you realize that although she fundamentally fails as a responsible adult, some measures should be taken to protect her 3 children from growing up in a highly disadvantaged poverty situation (without adequate nutrition, without access to medical care, without supplemental education, etc)?
