Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig's Fall 2014 bridal collection for Marchesa is lovingly — and appropriately — called The Secret Garden. For all the beautiful floral embellishments that are plainly visible in this collection (like the crystal embroidery on a sleeveless gown and the lace of a cocktail-length dress), there are also elements that aren't so obvious. The designers cleverly hid lace behind the billowing fabrics of some gowns and used sheer tulle to create the illusion that pearl studs were floating just above their wearer's décolletage.
Marchesa Wants to Take You on a Voyage
"It's Voyahhge!" Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig said when we asked them how to pronounce the name of their newest line, Marchesa Voyage, on Thursday night.
The designers announced that they'd be adding a contemporary line to the collection of labels they've created at Marchesa in February, but they threw a party to celebrate the Voyage Fall 2013 collection just this week. Chapman said the line, which features a wider product assortment than their other collections, "is about having Marchesa DNA at a different price point."
"She's really a global-minded woman. She's traveling the world, or maybe she's not," Craig said of the customer. "Maybe she's wanting to travel the world but really she's just going to the office. And it's about really completing her wardrobe."
Take a look at Marchesa Voyage's Fall 2013 collection and last night's party, here in the gallery.
Marchesa Fall 2013 Runway
For their Fall 2013 collection, Marchesa designers Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman traveled East — Far East, to be specific. The fearless twosome offered up full-length ball gowns, mermaid-hem dresses, and modern tea-length styles in lustrous reds, silvers, and black duchesse satin. The avant-garde gowns were given an Asian-inspired spin with traditional Mao collars, sheer tulle balloon sleeves, and intricate gold-leaf embroidery and styled with triple-strap pumps and sleek side-parted updos.
- Colors: Black, white, maroon, silver, fuchsia.
- Key details: Mao collars, sheer sleeves, gold embroidery, tulle layers.
- Shoes: Triple ankle-strap heels, lace-up peep-toe booties.
- Beauty look: Deep side parts with slicked-back updos, pretty peach and berry-hued lip stains.
- Who should wear it: Classic beauties who aren't afraid to take red-carpet risks, like Naomi Watts, Anne Hathaway, and Kerry Washington.
Marchesa Spring 2013
Check out all the pictures from Marchesa's Spring 2013 collection, and come back soon for our full review.
Marchesa Spring 2013
Is there a richer source of inspiration than India? For Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, who infused the continent's rich silks and ornate embellishments into their colorful Spring 2013 collection for Marchesa, the answer is no.
Every dress that came down the runway featured some kind of decoration that pointed to the subcontinent: tunic and slim trousers cut from a pale gold brocade were embroidered and jeweled at their hems, and the silver cap-sleeved gown that Carolyn Murphy wore in the show was covered in lace. This was a literal interpretation of India, punched up with '60s shapes (cape sleeves, anyone?) and the energy of a glamorous Bollywood production.
Keren Craig Talks Irises, Crystals, and Marchesa's First Scent
"We like to think that if you put on the scent, you'll be at your most beautiful. Like putting on a Marchesa dress," said Marchesa cofounder Keren Craig about the brand's latest venture: Parfum D'Extase ($85). The perfume, which is encapsulated in a crystal-embossed bottle, contains notes of iris flower, young violet leaves, and lotus flower. It's a full, floral scent that's perfect for Spring. "For us, it was about trying to find the essence of our muse: very feminine, very sensual, and very beautiful," Karen explained.
The women of Marchesa, cofounder Georgina Chapman included, have been wanting to make their foray into the fragrance industry for some time, but it wasn't until they teamed up with Sephora that their dreams became a reality. The bottle fits in with the rest of Marchesa's exquisite aesthetic, as it's faceted to look like a crystal with tiny versions of the stones dotted down the center. "The crystal is a healing stone. We like that combination. It's something you'll want to put on your dressing table and look at." And who does Keren hope to see wearing this scent? "Every girl!" she said with a laugh. "We're never trend-led with our clothing. We like to create pieces that are really timeless. So I really hope that [Parfume D'Extase] crosses all different ages." Luckily for Marchesa, an elegant floral scent is something that's easy to love.
Marchesa's Contemporary Label, Jean Paul Gaultier on Amy Winehouse, Gisele's Designer Niece
>> Those stories and more in our daily news roundup.
- Marchesa is reportedly discussing creating a lower-priced contemporary label with Li & Fung, the global trading firm that recently signed on to help Vena Cava expand into new categories. Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig already have a lower-priced line called Notte, which offers eveningwear. [Styleite]
br> - Jean Paul Gaultier said he was surprised to be the only person in fashion who made an homage to the late Amy Winehouse after her death. "Her look was fabulous, fantastic — it was unique," he said. "Usually, actresses and singers need fashion advice. She naturally had the right make-up, the right earrings — it was truly a style." [The Cut]
br> - Gisele Bundchen's 5-year-old niece Duda is already following in her aunt's footsteps, modeling and designing a line for the Brazilian children's wear company Brandili Mundi. "She told us about her preferences on prints, cuts and details, and based on the briefing we received from her we came up with a collaborative collection," said the brand's marketing director Germano Costa. [The Huffington Post]
br> - Singer Nicki Minaj is developing a fragrance with Give Back Brands, the same charitable company that released Justin Bieber's perfume Someday last year. Proceeds from the sale of the fragrance will be donated to the charity of Minaj's choice. "I have always been a huge fan of great fragrances," she said. "This is yet another extension of my creative expression." [The Fashion Spot]
br> - Heidi Klum bared everything for the May issue of Allure, posing naked for the cover and addressing topics ranging from her divorce to plastic surgery. "Everyone has a view of what's not pretty and [surgery] just doesn't look pretty to me," she said. [Fashion Etc.]

Christian Louboutin — and Friends — Fete 20 Years of Shoes with Barneys
>> Last night, Christian Louboutin joined up with Barneys to fete the launch of his eponymous book — as well as the 20th anniversary of his brand — in New York.
The designer's longtime friends (Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen), collaborators (Marchesa's Keren Craig), and design peers (Calvin Klein, who left with an autographed copy of the tome) showed up in support. As did more than a few fans — sporting their Louboutin heels, of course. "I'm wearing my very first pair from 1997," Amanda Brooks told Style.com of her strappy red sandals. "He gave them to me as a thank you because I used to work at the Gagosian Gallery, across from the Carlyle, and he would call me on my lunch break to come over and model the shoes for him."
Blake Lively, who made headlines a year ago for carting 40 pairs of Louboutins away from the designer's sample sale, also stopped by: "My first pair was basic black, and after that, it was love — now I have hundreds." Clearly the feeling is mutual — Louboutin whisked her off her feet and carried her away after the event.
Marchesa's Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig on the Future of Fashion
We caught up with Marchesa designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig at the HP Fashion Celebration where the two designers chatted about creating 3D lookbooks and how the new technology allows clients a more dynamic way to see their designs. Additionally, they share their inspiration behind the Spring 2012 line and the key to dressing for the red carpet.
Which British Designers Say They're Not Doing Kate Middleton's Wedding Gown?
>> Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton (and McQueen CEO Jonathan Akeroyd and a spokesperson from the label) have all categorically denied any involvement with Kate Middleton's wedding gown, although many still seem skeptical about believing them.
But McQueen aside, which other British or London-based designers have taken their names off the list of potentials? Marchesa, for one. "I'm excited to see what [Middleton]'s going to be wearing," Keren Craig said. "I think she's a very stylish woman, and I think she'll probably choose something beautiful and classic. I don't think she's going to go for anything too trend-based or crazy edgy. She'll look like a princess!"
Don't expect to see Middleton donning London labels Erdem or Vivienne Westwood, either — spokespeople from each label denied any involvement. And although wedding gown favorite Alice Temperley is making no comment on the matter, WWD cites sources saying that she's not doing Middleton's dress.
So who's remaining mum on whether they involved? Former favorite in the race, old school London couturier Bruce Oldfield; Issa's Danielle Helayel, who is a Middleton favorite (but Helayel is Brazilian and doesn't have much experience with gowns — honeymoon garb seems much more likely); and Catherine Walker, a brand which specializes in wedding gowns and made Princess Diana's burial gown.

pick of the week Articles
Spinning Plates (NR)
Genre: Documentary
Director: Joseph Levy
Starring: Grant Achatz, Nick Kokonas, Cindy Breitback, Mike Breitbach, Thomas Keller, Francisco Martinez. Gabby Martinez
The Story: A look at three different restaurants of wildly different kinds. The Lowdown: Entertaining documentary that never quite manages to tie its three stories together. Definitely worth a look — especially if you need a break from the awards-season onslaught. -
Philomena (PG-13)
Genre: Fact-Based Drama Comedy
Director: Stephen Frears (The Queen)
Starring: Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Mare Winningham, Barbara Jefford, Ruth McCabe, Peter Hermann
The Story: Fact-based story of the search for a child given up for adoption 50 years after the fact. The Lowdown: Beautifully crafted, intelligently written and anchored by marvelously nuanced performances from Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, Philomena is a delightful, emotionally satisfying awards-season surprise. -
Dallas Buyers Club (R)
Genre: Fact-Based Drama
Director: Jean-Marc Vallée (The Young Victoria)
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Jared Leto, Jennifer Garner, Denis O'Hare, Dallas Roberts, Steve Zahn, Griffin Dunne
The Story: Fact-based story of a Texas homophobe who contracts AIDS and almost inadvertently becomes a major force in the gay community in battling the disease — if not in exactly orthodox methods. The Lowdown: Brilliant performances from Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto propel this finely-crafted film into the realm of the must-see. It's a strong work that refuses cheap sentimentality. -
About Time (R)
Genre: Romantic Comedy Fantasy
Director: Richard Curtis (Love Actually)
Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Lydia Wilson, Lindsay Duncan, Tom Hollander, Joshua McGuire
The Story: A romantic comedy fantasy more or less grounded in the idea that our main character can travel back in time. The Lowdown: Utterly charming, funny and touching, the film finds writer-director Richard Curtis at the peak of his game — and with just the cast to bring it to life. Unless you're a hopeless curmudgeon, this is a must-see. If you are a hopeless curmudgeon, this may help cure that. -
12 Years a Slave (R)
Genre: Biographical Drama
Director: Steve McQueen (Shame)
Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Brad Pitt, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o
The Story: The story of Solomon Northup, a free black man kidnapped and sold into slavery. The Lowdown: Powerful, brilliantly — and beautifully — made. It boasts a gallery of fine performances and should finally propel Chiwetel Ejiofor to the stardom he's deserved for 10 years. It's a fine film, but maybe not quite a masterpiece. -
I'm So Excited! (R)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Pedro Almodovar
Starring: Javier Cámara, Lola Dueñas, Cecilia Roth, Raúl Arévalo, Carlos Areces
The Story: On a plane with mechanical failures, a crew of quirky flight attendants and passengers deal with imminent doom in their own melodramatic and perverse ways. The Lowdown: Minor Almodovar that's nevertheless wonderfully absurd and constantly in bad taste, and one of the year's funniest films when it's on its game. -
Parkland (PG-13)
Genre: Fact-Based Drama
Director: Peter Landesman
Starring: Zac Efron, Tom Welling, James Badge Dale, Marcia Gay Harden, Mark Duplass, Paul Giamatti, Colin Hanks, Jacki Weaver
The Story: Fact-based drama about the JFK assassination and its immediate aftermath. The Lowdown: Visceral, fast-paced recreation of the events that took place over the course of Nov. 22-25, 1963. Parkland opts to plunge the viewer into the chaos and confusion of the tragic events, and the results are remarkable. -
Short Term 12 (R)
Genre: Drama
Director: Destin Daniel Cretton
Starring: Brie Larson, John Gallagher, Jr., Kaitlyn Dever, Stephanie Beatriz, Rami Malek, Keith Stanfield
The Story: A look into the lives of some young social workers and their charges in a foster care center. The Lowdown: Disarming in its honesty and simplicity, Short Term 12 arrives on the local film scene with little fanfare, which is too bad because it's a little gem of a movie. -
Enough Said (PG-13)
Genre: Romantic Comedy Drama
Director: Nicole Holofcener (Please Give)
Starring: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, James Gandolfini, Catherine Keener, Toni Collette, Tracey Fairaway, Tavi Gevinson
The Story: A woman finds her romance with a seemingly compatible man undermined when it turns out that he's the ex-husband of a new friend of hers. The Lowdown: Unfailingly pleasant but awkwardly plotted film that ultimately wins out on the strength of James Gandolfini and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. -
Closed Circuit (R)
Genre: Legal/Political Thriller
Director: John Crowley (Is Anybody There?)
Starring: Eric Bana, Rebecca Hall, Ciarán Hinds, Riz Ahmed, Jim Broadbent, Julia Stiles
The Story: Defense lawyers for a sensitive case involving an alleged terrorist bomber find themselves embroiled in something more than they bargained for. The Lowdown: An unusually smart legal thriller that appeals more to the intellect than your standard action-oriented flick. (Think Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.) A strong cast, solid direction and a well-rounded script make this one a must-see.

PORTLAND, Ore. - A Portland paramedic was arrested Monday on sex abuse charges after allegedly assaulting a patient during a ride to the hospital over the weekend.Police are concerned because the paramedic, Lannie L. Haszard, was at the center of a similar investigation last spring. But authorities didn't have enough evidence to bring charges in that case.
Haszard, 61, of Vancouver, is facing two counts of first-degree sex abuse.
Police said he responded to a call for medical help in an American Medical Response (AMR) ambulance Saturday. While riding in the back of the ambulance to the hospital, police said, he allegedly sexually assaulted the female patient. The woman called police about the assault after arriving at Legacy Emanuel Hospital.
Detectives investigated the complaint and arrested Haszard Monday morning.

Warnock praises Leeds United's togetherness
11:37am Friday 28th September 2012 in Sport
Neil Warnock is hoping the togetherness of the Elland Road squad will come to the fore again tomorrow when Leeds United head for Bristol City.
Having bounced back from defeats to Cardiff and Hull, United ended Nottingham Forest's unbeaten run in the Championship last weekend and a much-changed team beat Premier League Everton in the Capitol Cup midweek.
Warnock said: "I'd said all week about Forest being favourites. I did it on purpose to take some of the pressure off because I knew we would have a few youngsters in and we wanted big performances from our big players. I thought we did that and it brought everyone together."
Leeds lie 12th, but Warnock added: "This division is wide open."

My string theory, I truly believe that inside each of us there is a string that when struck by the right hand, a hand that has this ability, will resonate so loud that makes our spirit rearrange itself to a more sublime state. Our carbon based body, simple and fragile, is just a resonance box for this string. Some of the talkers here at TED are truly gifted string players.

Comments about Qik Joe® 50lb Hot Stuff Calcium Chloride Flake Ice & Snow Melter (01050):
Called the company and they made excuses for the product doing what it does. Had it in a pail and it got rain on it during and ice storm. The stuff turned to a solid block and is not usable. Got some more out of the bag and sprinkled it on the wooden desk and steps and came in the house. Had some on my feet so it was slippery. Cleaned up the floor and mopped it. I have since mopped the floor 3 times and you can not walk on the floor without slipping and sliding. We have laminate floors and the company said to just keep moping and doing it over and over it will stop eventually. They also said that as long as it is on the deck or wood surface that it will take warm weather and lots of soapy water to get the slippery slime off the steps. Hope you have good homeowners insurance. Use this and you will get sued. Trash product and is not recommended by me, unless you want to have a slip and fall. Company that makes the product does not care and needs to be sued!
Comments about Qik Joe® 50lb Hot Stuff Calcium Chloride Flake Ice & Snow Melter (01050):
Great stuff. Comes as flakes and is easy to handle. Works very well in ice-dam socks for those pesky ice dams along your roof and gutter areas. Excellent as well for walkways and driveways. It has no sodium chloride (salt) so it is less corrosive and less harmful to plants, etc. Also, it works down to much lower temperatures than salt.

Sarasota County Commissioners will meet with their city of Sarasota counterparts on Tuesday to discuss a range of issues affecting the two governing bodies.
Homelessness and a proposed project to mine Big Pass for Lido Beach sand will top the agenda.
The city and county commissions are both awaiting the final results of a study of area homelessness by Dr. Richard Marbut, an expert hired by the city and county.
Marbut's report follows a study released last week by the Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness, which found that Sarasota County's homeless population has grown 40% since 2011, highlighting the seriousness of the issue.
City commissioners are currently embroiled in a controversial debate about where to build a proposed homeless shelter, with experts such as Dr. Marbut advocating for a location close to downtown, while concerned business owners and property owners would like to see the shelter displaced from valuable real estate.
The combined city-county meeting will also tackle a controversial U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project to mine Big Pass for Lido Beach sand.
Opponents of the project are concerned about the impact of the project on the navigability of Big Pass, which has never been dredged, and what unknown effects the three erosion-control groins included in the Army's plan will have on the natural flow of sand down the coast that helps renourish Siesta beaches.
The Army's plans were officially unveiled to the public at a Sarasota Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting in September. An Army representative said the permitting process could take one to two months, and the project, which has an estimated $22.7 million price tag, could break ground as early as 2015, depending on what funding Congress is willing to provide.
Also up for discussion Tuesday will be proposed changes to Sarasota 2050 and a discussion on the wide variance in crime rates between the city of Sarasota and Sarasota County.
Tuesday's joint city-county meeting is scheduled for 2:00 p.m., at the Sarasota County Administration Center, 1660 Ringling Blvd., Sarasota.
Residents can call 861-5000 for more information.

The Run Producers
by Dave StudemanJune 14, 2004
I have to admit that I pay no attention to runs batted in. To me, RBI's are just like a pitcher's wins and losses -- they can be useful if no other stats are available, but they are also somewhat arbitrary. Too many other factors influence them, factors outside the player's control. It's true that the best hitters usually have a lot of RBI's, but it's also true that RBI's are influenced by factors such as:
- Batting order
- Clutch hitting, if you believe in that sort of thing
- The number of at bats with runners in scoring position
- The number of outs during each at bat with runners in scoring position
- The speed of the baserunners in scoring position
But I do think that certain batters are true Run Producers. They hit the extra-base hits and home runs, and they can deliver with men on base. They're the guys you want batting third or fourth in your lineup, after the tablesetters. I just don't think that the top RBI leaders are necessarily the top Run Producers.
So how can we determine the top Run Producers? Glad you asked. To give it a shot, I stole a page from Runs Created. The most recent version of Runs Created (which Bill James uses in Win Shares, and which we use on this site) includes a couple of formulas that credit batters who produce with men on base. I thought it would be fun to isolate those formulas and apply them to today's batters. Maybe we'll learn something.
Let's start by looking at the RBI leaders in each league, with a couple of facts thrown in. Here are the top RBI men in the American League and their total at bats, along with the percent of at bats with runners in scoring position (their opportunity), and their batting average with runners in scoring position (their performance). All data in this article includes games through June 10th.
Name Team RBI AB AB/RISP BA/RISP Guerrero ANA 51 235 27% .391 Ortiz BOS 50 236 28% .318 Tejada BAL 47 222 35% .247 Martinez CLE 47 194 34% .308 Guillen ANA 45 221 27% .350 Beltran KC 43 222 23% .300 Ramirez BOS 43 219 26% .304 Hafner CLE 43 183 32% .305 Rodriguez DET 42 217 28% .459 Mora BAL 41 221 30% .348 Konerko CHW 40 195 29% .351See, before I created this table, I had no idea that David Ortiz was second in the league in RBI's. He has batted well with runners in scoring position, but not nearly as well as Vlad Guerrero (.318 to .391). In fact, only one player on this list has really batted poorly with RISP: Miguel Tejada, who is third in the league in RBI's. However, 35% of his at bats have occurred with RISP, the highest percent on this list. Meanwhile, check out the great job that Jose Guillen, Ivan Rodriquez, Melvin Mora and Paul Konerko are doing with runners in scoring position.
Among the 190 players I reviewed, 25% of at bats are with runners in scoring position. The one player among AL RBI leaders who has had less opportunities than average is Carlos Beltran. So give him some extra credit for being in the pack at all.
Here are the National League RBI leaders, with the same info added on:
Name Team RBI AB AB/RISP BA/RISP Rolen STL 63 212 30% .406 Griffey CIN 48 209 23% .375 Berkman HOU 48 189 32% .383 Castilla COL 48 215 35% .237 Burnitz COL 46 211 32% .328 Burrell PHI 44 191 29% .357 Abreu PHI 43 201 29% .362 Casey CIN 43 227 20% .413 Ramirez CHC 43 231 29% .324 Kent HOU 43 218 32% .314 Edmonds STL 43 210 30% .219 Overbay MIL 43 216 25% .283 Bonds SFG 34 124 19% .292Although he's not among the National League leaders, I included Barry Bonds to show what all those IBB's are doing to the guy. Only 19% of his at bats have been with runners in scoring position. Vinny Castilla has almost twice that rate. Also, look at the Reds on this list, Griffey and Casey. Their opportunities have been much lower than average, though both players are hitting extremely well with runners in scoring position.
Hitting home runs is a key component of producing runs, and it particularly helps to hit home runs with men on base. Following is a list of the RBI leaders, with some different info thrown in: home run totals, the percent of at bats with runners on, and the percent of home runs with runners on. If a batter is hitting a higher proportion of home runs with runners on (compared to at bats with runners on), then he is producing more runs with his home runs. American League first:
Name Team RBI HR AB/RO% HR/RO% Guerrero ANA 51 15 49% 40% Ortiz BOS 50 12 53% 67% Tejada BAL 47 9 54% 67% Martinez CLE 47 10 50% 10% Guillen ANA 45 11 44% 55% Beltran KC 43 12 39% 50% Ramirez BOS 43 16 46% 38% Hafner CLE 43 8 51% 25% Rodriguez DET 42 7 46% 71% Mora BAL 41 11 47% 27% Konerko CHW 40 14 45% 21%Victor Martinez, as an example, seems to have a lot of opportunities to hit with men on base (50%), but nine of his ten home runs have been solo shots -- not something you want to see from a Run Producer. Hafner, Mora and Konerko also tend to hit solo shots.
On the other hand, Ivan Rodriquez really has shown a knack for hitting his home runs with men on base which, combined with his great BA with RISP, makes him look like a real Run Producer (despite hitting only seven home runs). And hitting home runs with men on base is what helps set Ortiz apart from the other RBI leaders.
The average percent of at bats with runners on was 44%, among players I analyzed. Carlos Beltran again is the one AL leader who falls significantly below that standard.
Here's the home run info for the National League:
Name Team RBI HR AB/RO% HR/RO% Rolen STL 63 16 50% 63% Griffey CIN 48 17 46% 59% Berkman HOU 48 14 49% 43% Castilla COL 48 15 57% 60% Burnitz COL 46 16 45% 13% Burrell PHI 44 10 53% 50% Abreu PHI 43 14 47% 50% Casey CIN 43 11 41% 45% Ramirez CHC 43 12 47% 42% Kent HOU 43 9 52% 33% Edmonds STL 43 13 46% 23% Overbay MIL 43 6 40% 50% Bonds SFG 34 16 40% 44%Boy, Scott Rolen really does deserve to be among the RBI leaders. His home run rate (and his BA/RISP) are great. And Griffey also impresses in this category. On the other hand, Jeromy Burnitz, Jeff Kent and Jim Edmonds are not quite delivering their home runs at the optimal times.
I think you can see that there is more to producing runs than a simple RBI list will tell you. Some batters truly deliver in the clutch, but aren't given as many opportunities. Others make the list almost solely because they have the opportunities. To lead the list, you need to both produce and be given the opportunities.
So can we construct a true list of this year's Run Producers? Well, I gave it a shot by constructing a Runs Produced (RP) list that gives each batter credit for the following:
- One RP for each home run.
- 1.25 additional RP's for each home run delivered with runners on, based on his home run/at bat rate, assuming that each player's opportunity rate equals the average.
- 1.25 additional RP's for each hit with runners in scoring position, based on his BA/RISP rate, assuming that each player's opportunity rate equals the average.
The 1.25's are educated guesses. For instance, each home run with a runner on obviously yields at least two runs. Since we've already counted one run in the home run calculation, I estimate that there's an average 1.25 runners per home run with runners on. I applied the same thinking to runners in scoring position. The good news is that total "runs produced" is virtually the same as total RBI's, for the 190 players I analyzed, so I don't think I'm off by much.
So, here is my list for the top American League Run Producers so far this year:
Name Team ProRuns RBI Diff Guerrero ANA 50 51 -1 Ramirez BOS 46 43 3 Young TEX 44 37 7 Ortiz BOS 44 50 -6 Rodriguez DET 43 42 1 Guillen ANA 42 45 -3 Beltran KC 42 43 -1 Thomas CHW 40 37 3 Konerko CHW 40 40 0 Mora BAL 40 41 -1 Sheffield NYY 39 39 0 Blalock TEX 39 36 3Wow. Michael Young isn't even on the list of top RBI men, but I have him as the third-best run producer in the league. David Ortiz comes down six runs, primarily because this formula brings his opportunity total down to the league average. But the best Run Producer in the AL is pretty clearly Vlad Guerrero, at this stage of the game.
And the National League...
Name Team ProRuns RBI Diff Griffey Jr. CIN 55 48 7 Rolen STL 54 63 -9 Gonzalez ARI 50 36 14 Abreu PHI 48 43 5 Bonds SFG 48 34 14 Berkman HOU 48 48 0 Casey CIN 46 43 3 Alou CHC 46 39 7 Pujols STL 46 40 6 Dunn CIN 42 40 2 Ramirez CHC 41 43 -2 Burnitz COL 40 46 -6 Bagwell HOU 40 34 6 Lowell FLO 40 38 2 Castilla COL 40 48 -8I knew Barry Bonds would jump up this list, but Luis Gonzalez? It turns out that Luis Gonzalez is the league's third-best run producer by my reckoning. Gonzalez is having a tremendous year, with 13 home runs, a .353 BA with RISP and 54% of his home runs with runners on. Unfortunately, only 15% of his at bats have come with runners in scoring position. Talk about a waste...
And, at the top of the list, just barely eking out Scott Rolen, is the rejuvenated Kid. You knew Ken Griffey Jr. was having a fine year, but did you know he has been the top run producer in either league? I sure didn't. But he's hitting home runs and batting well with runners in scoring position, and just having a super year. Is it too early to nominate him for Comeback Player of the Year?

DroboPro: 8 drives of networked goodness
You guys probably know that we are big fans of Drobo here at Gear Live, which is why we are happy to bring news of the DroboPro. When the last Drobo refresh happened a few months ago, the DroboPro is what we were hoping we would see. A smart, sexy, almost-foolproof NAS box that can currently hold up to 16 TB of storage in its 8 hard drive bays. So, what else is different about the DroboPro, aside from the 4 extra drive slots? How about that fact that there is no need to purchase a DroboShare to get this thing on your network? It has an integrated gigabit Ethernet port, in addition to it's dual FireWire 800 ports and USB 2.0 connection. The gigabit Ethernet uses iSCSI, which allows for speedy file transfer of about 100 MB per second. Not bad, at all.
The DroboPro is also rack-mountable, thanks to the wider form factor. Drobo is definitely coming out big with this one. We desperately want to get our hands on one (along with either 2 TB hard drives.) Oh wait, did you feel that? That was the shudder of realizing that this might be a tad on the expensive side. You see, ordering a DroboPro with no hard drives will run you $1300. Of course, for businesses and the like, not a big deal—but for us home folk, it's spendy in this rough economic climate. Still, price notwithstanding, the DroboPro is slick. Hit the jump for a shot of the back of the unit.

Danica Patrick made her first laps in an ARCA Racing Series stock car during a rain-shortened test session at Daytona International Speedway on Friday afternoon. Patrick, one of 26 drivers who posted a time during the 35-minute, single-car run session, was 12th quickest on the charts with a time of 51.095sec (176.142mph) around the 2.5-mile superspeedway. "It's definitely by far the biggest track that I have been on in a stock car since I've only ever been on a mile before," Patrick said. "It was a big difference. The car moves around quite a bit. The car was definitely getting some action in the rear over the bumps. It was getting a little bit loose but I kept my foot in it and tried not chasing it too much with the steering."
While it was only one run, Patrick was happy to finally get on the 31-degree high banks. "I was glad to get out there," Patrick said of Friday's session. "It would have been nice to do a few runs and actually make a change or two (on the car) and feel things out. I'm definitely glad to have gotten that run. We will go from here. I'm happy with that and we're ready to build on that.
"I felt most disoriented with how the heck am I suppose to get my stuff on because I can't get into the car with all that stuff on," Patrick added. "I've got to buckle my belts and I can't do it with my helmet on. So I get in the car and I've got to tuck my hair down the back of my suit and I can't do it because I'm strapped in. I'm just awfully confused. So I decided that I needed to put everything on but my helmet and then get in the car. It sounds silly but it's logistics and logistics that I'm not used to."
A trio of cars fielded by long-time ARCA Racing Series team Venturini Motorsports comprised the top three positions in Friday's test session, led by full-time series competitor Mikey Kile (49.804sec/180.708mph).
More than 50 drivers were on hand for the test, which continues today, including a record number of female entries. Among them, Braun Racing's Milka Duno, the first Hispanic woman to test an ARCA stock car, as well as Indian former F1 hopeful Narain Karthikeyan. Saturday's testing will feature single-car runs during the morning session and the first drafting session of the weekend during the afternoon session.

"This is a 'most often requested' recipe - friends and family deliberately let bananas get brown so I'll make them! Great for lunch boxes too." — sandyb
Watch video tips and tricks
cooking spray
3/4 cup white sugar
6 tablespoons butter, softened
6 tablespoons ground flax seed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Very moist. I did add a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg.
They were tasty but very dry for me. I will have to incorporate some apple sauce when I try this recipe again. I liked how this recipe included flax seed.
31 Ratings
This is the best banana bread or muffin recipe I have found. I did make one adjustment by adding a tsp of cinnamon.
Definitely a most requested love the "good for you" tip!
Excellent as written. As a quick note, if you're short a banana, you can substitute with a 1/2 C applesauce-it still has a good banana flavor. We didn't notice a difference. :)
Love this recipe! I,too, replaced some of butter with flax seed. I'm not a talented cook and was wondering if I replaced some of the flour with protein powder how I would make the adjustment. I'm not sure what that would do to the consistency. Any advice would be welcomed!!!
Delicious! I did add 1 tsp cinnamon as others suggested, and I also used all whole wheat flour. My 3 year old loved them, as did my husband and I!
I just did it and theyre so good and moist...

Egypt not in denial: concerned by Ethiopia's resistance to peaceful resolution over Nile dam row
Egypt said on Saturday it was very concerned that the Ethiopian government had not responded to an Egyptian invitation to discuss a dispute over a giant dam that Ethiopia plans to build on the Nile.
"Egypt is deeply worried that Ethiopia has not yet reacted to the invitation Egypt's minister of water and irrigation made to conduct a meeting in Cairo on the consequences of the dam," a statement issued by the foreign ministry said. Egypt fears the dam will reduce water flows vital for its 84 million people.
Egypt's recently ousted President Mohammad Mursi said last month that "all options" were open in dealing with Ethiopia over the project, prompting Ethiopia to say it was ready to defend its $4.7 billion dam, which lies near its border with Sudan.

More reviews by sabrinashriver
CANNOT live without! I found this on Amazon and am so glad they carry now at Whole Foods! I use for my nighttime moisturizer and love. I have very dry skin and this makes my face feel amazing without the oily feel. I tried the Marajuca Oil and went back to this, liked the texture and results much better. I also add to my hair before blow out, much better priced with the same great results than the Josie Maran/Moroccan Oil brands.
It's weird that I didn't like this argan oil. I usually buy the small bottle by Josie Maran, and that suits me fine. (I once got a sample of Kahina and was ecstatic about it, but can't justify the price!) Some people say it's all the same, and I'm really not sure that's true. This one seemed a little thick and heavy, and it smelled a little green -- or something. I gave it away, and spent the same amount for half as much at Josie Maran -- but I wonder if I'm crazy?
I have combination skin and some wrinkles in my cheeks. I was hesitant about putting oil on my face but I gave it a try. After one month my skin has improved and it's brighter and healthier. It feels so good on my skin. I would buy this again, I really liked this oil.
I'm fairly new to various oils for beauty treatments. I got this because of the general hype over argan oil. And also because it's in a cute bottle but only $12.
I use this on my face as a night treatment (alternating with my rose hip seed oil), on my nails whenever they seem dry & 2 drops to the ends of my hair when it's wet. I also use a few drops mixed in with my DD's leave-in conditioner. She has wavy/curly hair but coconut oil is way too heavy for her. Argan works nicely.
Overall, it's really nice to have on hand & the bottle is pretty enough to leave out on your vanity.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is too greasy to use on my face, so I mix a few drops in with my body moisturizer and it locks in the moisture all day. I wouldn't repurchase this because it didn't work for the original intended use (face) and I won't use it on my hair because it is just too heavy.
I recently bought this off iHerb.com and it arrived a couple of days ago. I've been using it all over my face for about two nights and it's probably too early to say, but I haven't seen any improvements in my skin. First of all, the packaging is poor quality. Real argan oil should be stored in dark glass as light causes the oil to deteriorate. The oil itself smells like feces whereas real argan oil should have a sweet, nutty smell. Either this isn't argan oil or it has gone rancid. I was very sceptical about using this after smelling it due to the fact I've spend thousands on clearing my acne up recently. The oil does not "sink" into the skin as argan oil should - it leaves an oily residue. I tried using a tiny amount on my hair as I would usually use argan oil but when I woke up the next morning my hair had a very greasy appearance to it. The previous argan oil I used on my hair left my ends very soft and shiny. I will probably ask iHerb.com for a refund as this product is a complete waste of money. I will definitely not be using it again.
As usual, tricky labeling laws means consumer misery.
Is this 100% usda argan oil or 100% *argan* oil or what? I mean, I once bought aloe gel which had '100% gel' label on it. I assumed that means all aloe gel, but aparently that was not the case! Same thing here.....this argan oil seems to have some filler oil. It also smells awful and honestly, I did not see any difference in skin quality after using this. It caused small areas of breakouts instead.
Probably 2012 was the year of argan.....hehe
This product is amazing. And it's not expensive. I had been using this...then I ran out. I was lazy, and picked up a moisturizer (because I have to drive further and deal with stuff for Acure), St Ives Collagen, at Walgreens. I'll review that over-hyped nonsense elsewhere, but, I'm back with the Acure argan oil. It really does something amazing to the texture of my skin, it's very noticeable. I haven't used it in the summer...but, I'm still going to go for it...makeup doesn't stay on my face at all anyway in the summer. I'd say if you like an oil, you are over 35...this is the stuff.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This stuff is amazing. However, you MUST know that you have to splash your face with rosewater or and Acure organics toner and then blend this argan oil serum in while you face is damp. It makes a huge difference!
I have oily / acne prone skin. I have had bad acne in the past, so I have some scarring. My skin is alway red and sensitive. I was also hesitant to put oil on my face, but I have used this treatment at night WITH THE ACURE ROSE + RED TEA TONER and I have seen a BIG difference. My skin is glowing and repaired!
The other thing that I love about this product (and all Acure products) is that it is 100% toxin free! No damaging Parabens, Phthalates, sulfates, artificial fragrance or dyes!

Evolution Lost: Global wildlife stocktake
Wednesday 27 October 2010
The most comprehensive stocktake of the world's vertebrates reveals that populations of mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and fish species have declined on average by 30 per cent over 40 years, and one fifth of all vertebrates species are threatened with extinction.
Evolution Lost, produced by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), uses the latest IUCN Red List of Threatened Species data and the WWF Living Planet Index population data to give us a complete picture of the state of the world's vertebrates.
The report provides for the first time information on population trends for all vertebrate groups (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish) and information on the threatened status of reptiles and fish. With this new data it is possible to estimate the conservation status of all vertebrates.
Over the past four decades terrestrial mammal populations are estimated to have declined by a quarter, marine fish by a fifth and freshwater fish by as much as 65%.
In addition to providing a baseline for the health of vertebrates, Evolution Lost also highlights the unique evolutionary history that we have lost through past species extinctions. The Guam flying fox, Las Vegas valley leopard frog and the Cape Verde giant skink are just some of the of the species no longer stalking our planet today.
"Evolution Lost comes at a critical time for conserving global biodiversity. It provides a benchmark on which to base future targets for reducing biodiversity loss and serves as a stark reminder of the of unique species we have already let slip through our fingers," says Prof Jonathan Baillie, Director of Conservation Programmes at ZSL.
Evolution Lost also highlights entire lineages such as marine turtles, pandas, rhinos and Darwin's frogs, that are on the brink of being lost. The report concludes with a call for increased conservation capacity that takes an ecosystem level approach, and for serious discussions about overconsumption, population growth and poor governance.
Co-author, Dr Ben Collen, Research Fellow at ZSL says, "Darwin's legacy is literally in our hands. If we continue to plunder our natural resources without considering their true value, we stand to lose the very fabric that makes up our unique evolutionary history."
The new IUCN Red List of Threatened Species data in Evolution Lost will also be published in a paper in the international journal Science, which will highlight that biodiversity would have declined by an additional 20 per cent if conservation processes had not been in place.

Whew, these late game winners are doing nothing for my heart. To say the Columbus Crew's game against the Philadelphia Union was nervy or filled with tension doesn't really cover it, I think. I mean, come on …. it's playoffs! And yes, I will continue to talk about the craziness of the games leading up to the playoffs until we're actually IN the post season.
We're in familiar territory here, as Crew fans. Columbus is sitting on the outside, looking in on a tight race. Everything the players, the staff, the TEAM does in the next few weeks determines the fate of their MLS Cup dreams. And let's be a little honest with ourselves; in a race this tight, the Crew have been pretty lucky thus far.
Saturday's match up is a prime example. I mean, not only did the Crew snatch a win in the dying minutes of the match – a feat they are getting particularly fond of and my heart is not, by the way – but they did it on a goal that is making a few of us scratch our heads. Even head coach Robert Warzycha teased the media about his thoughts on the goal.
If you didn't see it, let me set the stage for you. It's the 87th minute of the match and the Crew – after having a strong first half where they were up 2-0 – are now looking at their playoff spot slipping away as the seconds tick by. Danny Cruz smashed home a penalty earlier to bring one back for the Union and just 60 seconds ago Philly sub Jack McInerney shocked the Crew with a leveler.
Time was running out and the only thing to do at this point is push and pray for a miracle. With possession, in front of the Union's goal, Josh Williams pushes forward and cuts in. He's got three guys in front of goal, heavily covered by the Union defense, so he slots it back to Milovan Mirosevic. From this point, it's a cluster – a down right mess in the box. Crew players are trying to slot it through and Union players are trying to kick it back.
Williams nicks it and suddenly it's at Mirosevic's feet again and he's in front of goal with only the keeper to beat. And he decisively knocks it past the keeper.
In the heat of the moment, I was convinced of the certainty of the strike. That the goal was completely on sides. But then I watched as they immediately started the replays.
Yeah …. Duncan Oughton was right on his call on that – Milo was completely off sides when Josh smacked that ball back to him. But for some reason, to the chagrin of the Philadelphia Union, the ref didn't budge and the goal stuck. The Crew would hold on 3-2 and get a crucial three points to keep up with Houston – who also won on the weekend – and D.C. United – who only came out with a tie.
So what's the point? Luck goes a long way? Eh, yes, but I don't think that's the point. Milo said it best in his post-game interview.
I love the Crew; have for many years. But that loyalty and love cannot disguise the fact that the team is in a bit of trouble here. Nervy, last-minute wins will not get the black and gold into the playoffs or even close to the finals. Is the team capable of it? Yes, I have no doubt in my mind. But there is no way that can be done if the defense allows teams to pick them a part.
Jairo Arrieta gave the team a brace in the first half. An effin' brace! Blowing a 2-nil lead is not good enough. Especially when they will be taking on Eastern Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City on Sunday. It'll help having the home advantage. However, I won't be at ease until I see the defense tighten up. The Columbus Crew still have a light on their playoff hopes. But they need more than their end-of-the-match ol' fashioned luck to get them there.

I hate how no matter what I say or do, my parents will always view poker as some degenerate game, I know nothing will change their mind. But I know I was meant for poker, I'm a winning player, and I'm making large cash $$$. But if my mother found out that I was a poker player, and yes I'm 18 and living with my parents for now, I would be viewed as a degenerate, and probably thrown out of my house.
It bugs me that I can't just tell them I play poker, It's like being in the closet, why can't people understand that poker is a game of skill.
Not like I'm playing blackjack.

Play without telling them, and if you make enough, show them the profits. They won't change their mind until there is some $$ there.

Not to be nosey, but how much is big$$$?
October 10th, 2011 #6
If you can afford it, move out! I too moved out when I was 18, and it was a wild and crazy experience to say the least. I highly recommend it.

They are just being parents, part of the reason why we are able to make money is that people dont understand, that's oke with me!
October 30th, 2011 #8
I agree with the others: Move out.
It is impossible (trust me) to convince 'poker-ignorants' that the game is (at least to 80%) a skill-
Yes, it's about money - but what isn't?

Unexpected Discoveries
Chapter 1 The new office still had the smell of fresh paint and new construction. Remodeling had just been completed earlier in the week; just in time for the new furniture to be moved in and arraigned. The office had a distinctive Zen design, emphasizing simplicity and function. Jack Lete was a co-owner of Axis Corporation, an elite international security and private investigations company. Axis Corp had just opened its first U.S. location in Chicago. Jack volunteered to open the office so that he could be closer to his daughter, a senior in high school, who was living with his ex wife and her husband in the Chicago area. Chicago offered surprisingly affordable commercial real-estate pricing and a centralized U.S. location. Several years earlier, just before Jack retired from the army, he and several of his retired military veteran friends had started Axis Corp. They offered a unique highly specialized security firm that had recently added investigative work to its services. The firm initially began working as an international government contractor, filling security gaps that could not be covered by actual law enforcement or military personnel. The firm's business was growing, and they now provided high threat security to many of the world's wealthiest business executives, a growing list of celebrities, and individual private clients. Jack had been flying throughout the U.S. for the last few months, setting up contracts and conducting site threat and personal [...]
True Dreams of Rape
My name is Alice. I come from a somewhat well-off family and just finished my 2nd year of college. I have decided to take a break over the summer and maybe do some traveling. Being a Korean but born and raised in the States, I was thinking of visiting Korea since I have never been there. I had plenty of time to think about it so I decided to sleep on it. Studying for college finals for the last few weeks really bogged down my time at the gym for the last month so the next day I started my morning with a trip to the gym. I love fitness and staying in shape since I like to feel sexy with my 34b cups. My only complaint would be my small stature standing at 5'2. I was searching the internet researching different countries to see where I might have the most fun then an interesting picture caught my eye. I saw picture of a BDSM club in Amsterdam, Europe. I have always been interested in BDSM but I have never tried it. My darkest fantasy is actually being forcefully raped, but of course I've never been close to fulfilling such a wild and crazy fantasy like that. I was somewhat nervous thinking of visiting a BDSM club and more so because it would be outside of the States. Still, I talked myself into it, noting that that most of my time will be spent site seeing, shopping, and having fun and not hanging out at some sort of creepy dungeon all day and all night for 2 whole months. It was decided. I told my family and friends that I will be going to Europe for the summer. I booked [...]
Small compensations
The news spread all over Italy in seconds. Miss Natalia Firenze, the famous judge in the case against Mafia Boss Mario Botto, El signore, was dead. The media immediately suspected his hand behind her accident. Only three days before her death, a commando of 40 armed men had rescued their boss assaulting the jail, leaving behind them 17 death guards and more the one hundred injured. The connection seemed clear. But Botto was the first surprised, he was so surprised he offered 5 million Euro for anybody finding Miss Firenze, dead or alive. Hundreds, no, thousand of people started searching the small hold and the sea where her little vessel exploded. Deficient fuel system, said the police investigations; a real accident. But no one believed. And they were right. Natalia was neither dead, nor in Botto's hands. As soon as she heard about Botto's escape, she knew her live was threatened. Knowing about the dangers of being Judge in Italy she never founded a family so when it came to flee she could do without hesitations, and what better place to hide than Death. She faked her own death and escaped to the States with a false Passport. Miss Marilyn Noone, being her English good enough to fool everybody. There she decided to hide in a small village and to start another life, far away from media, fame and Italy. (more...)

Behind the Counter
What It Takes To Open a Game Store
by Marcus KingOct 15,2004
Behind the CounterWhat It Takes To Open a Game Storeby Marcus KingOct 15,2004 | What It Takes To Open a Game StoreBy Marcus King, TitanGames.com Some time ago I asked for suggestions for what readers would like to see. I got -1- email suggesting something, so this month I will write on that topic: What it takes to open a game store. The barrier to entry to this industry (Adventure Games) is very low. Lower than opening an automotive shop, because you need no experience. Lower than opening a restaurant, cause you really need no money. Lower than becoming a paperboy, cause nobody interviews you first. Shocking, really, when you think of it that way. ANYbody can be a retail game store owner. And, unfortunately some would say, just about anybody IS a retail shop owner. For the bare bones, I want to sell games from my basement operator, you only need to get a business license (not required in some states), a resale tax license (not required in states with no Sales Tax) and a "Commercial Address". For those who plan to operate by going to conventions, you can usually just have things shipped to the local UPS hub, and pick it up there. Or a UPS Store mail box will suffice. Will you make money? No, not likely. You will, of course, damage your local legitimate retailer as you sell things out of your closet or trunk.
Now, to become a real retailer, you need - probably - the following: A. License, tax id, and rent a retail spot from which to operate. There is so much that can be said about location that I will not even go into it. There are books written on the subject. Read one. I will mention that I think that a town of less than 100,000 people is NOT a good location for a game retailer. If you are not ready to travel to Vegas, spend the bucks to attend GTS, and learn - do yourself a favor and keep your day job. :) Now, to be "fair", I was a retailer for 12 years before I attended GTS. But, I was a struggling to make $100K in sales per year guy for those years. After, I have been successful and relatively enjoyed growth each year. GTS saved my company, and if I had learned those lessons 12 years earlier, I would be a LOT better off financially now. The Game Industry is fun. I even think exciting (but, dude - I am a serious geek), and I love working in this industry. It is exciting when Peter Adkinson knows me by name, or the owner or author of a company or product I know of says "You're THE Marcus King?". Meeting people and making deals is my "apex" of existence. Perhaps that sounds silly, but I like it. But, like any business, the Game Industry takes a lot of learning to master, and retailing is not for everyone. Long hours, low pay, no benefits and juggling too much work, too little pay and multiple problems is the norm for a new store owner. Over the past 18 years I have faced too many "employee quit without notice" to even count that anymore. But, some of the "out of the norm" problems I have faced is: A. Employee took $1500.00 cash from a deposit. It's been a wild ride, these past 18 years. And, if you are not discouraged yet - then perhaps YOU can be a retailer, too. It has it's moments, like: A. A mom coming to me and saying that her son has quit cursing at home because we won't let him curse in the store during Magic night. The second list is actually MUCH longer than the first, but I am getting a bit tired, and don't want to share everything all at once. So, what's it take to be a retailer? Determination, stubbornness, hard work, and patience. Luck helps too. Anyone seriously wanting to learn more about being a retailer should contact gama.org and get into the mentor program. Anyone just wanting to have another question answered is welcome to contact me directly with your question at: email@example.com Anyone with more suggestions on what to write about in this column, can contact me at my direct email address, above. Thanks!

Caterpillars, colored leaves, footballPosted Wednesday, September 22, 2010, at 2:46 PM
With the passing of Labor Day, we know that fall is approaching. With fall comes many changes.
Caterpillars, in their furry little coats, can be seen out wiggling around. When my kids were young, one of the highlights of the season was to go hunting for the fuzzy worms. There was always a good colony of them down our lane. They used to beg to go down the lane often, each with his or her own jar, to transport any of the caterpillars they spotted. There were never any arguments over or pulling apart of any of the worms because there always seemed to be enough of them. I recall one time, daughter Marissa had snuck up ahead of me and when I finally caught up with her she had a half a jar of the squiggly things. That was gross! It looked like appetizers for a Fear Factor episode. For a child, that hunting is as big a thrill as what a sportsman gets during a hunt for ducks, deer and whatever else he would like to see hanging on his wall. Instead of mounting the little worms on the wall, kids place them in jars to never see them again - they either die in there, escape from the foil-covering or spin the silky cocoon around them, to hide, I suppose. I don't think any butterflies ever emerged from my kids' jars. And fall means falling leaves. Growing up, we had three large maple trees in our yard. the big deal was to have all the kids in the neighborhood come over and rake leaves - again and again - as we enjoyed jumping in them. And at the end of the day, we'd burn leaves and roast hot dogs on marshmallows on old sticks we found laying in the yard. One of the neighbors had oodles of apple trees in her yard and we often roasted those over the fire as well. MMMM! There is one other thing that fall brings that I am not excited about - football. Oh, the men in my household are in seventh heaven when this season rolls around. As long as us girls keep them fed and watered during their games, we're alright. We have learned never to talk to them during the games or for goodness sake, walk in front of them, putting up a split-second barrier between them and the television. (What is the difference? Replays are made on every single move the players make.) And if it's something important we need to say, forget it, unless we can catch them on the way to the bathroom during a commercial. It is a good time, however, to share bad news like, "Honey, I backed the car into a pole" because they aren't listening. Make sure you also add, "You're not mad are you?" which again would go into one ear and not even stop to be thrown into the computer before coming out the other ear. (Make sure he answers, "No" to your question and record it so once the game is over you can play it back so he knows he really said something like that for something like that!) If the "home" team is defeated, we've learned not to talk to the boys for several hours later, giving them time to absorb the loss before they think about anything else. (Like maybe that they did hear me say something about backing the car into a pole!) |

Well 25 man content at least. It has now been 3 weeks without a decent enough Internet connection to be able to raid 25 man content, my search for a new ISP has ended, but the pain and suffering caused to me so far has been immense and I hope to have it all sorted, in another week as finally TalkTalk have accepted that it is not my PC or router at fault and are sending BT Openreach to investigate a possible line fault.
So during this time I have not gained any fresh kills, although Immersion have now killed the Blood Princes HC, good job guys only 5 more to go then Arthas HC! Its been really painful for me as for the best part of 4 years I have had almost 99% attendance for raid nights, infact I have probably missed as many this past 3 weeks as I have (holidays excepted) ever. Hmm maybe I need to get out more. But my raiding needs have been fed from doing the 10 man content with All about Beer and we have made some progress there as we are now 11/12 with only the Lich King left to kill before we embark on 10 man HC.

The First Supper inaugural shoot for The Upper Floor was a big success!
Petitionner Cherry Torn is accepted into the Slave Class of Service. Satine Pheonix suffers from exhaustion, and must be sent back down to the lower floors for further endurance training before being considered again. Bella Rossi and Jade Indica,entertainment plebes only, show great promise and should be formally trained. Additionally, chat room moderator Lilla cheekily sucked cock without an invitation and needs discipline. Guest of Honor Laura Antoniou blesses the House's mission. Directors and special guest Maitress Madeline enjoy the show.
By the way, that actually is a picture of my grandmother in the frame behind me while I am fingering Cherry! Anwyay, here is the chronology of what happened. When I get more images I will post them here:
Pre shoot final training before the guests arrive. I am telling Mogul I am concerned that the slaves are not ready. I do not want to dissapoint my guests:
Some guests have arrived and we are awaiting the entertainment. The new dining hall is looking fabulous. It was lit sedutively using the lights you see only - this lead to a fun atmosphere - I often completely forgot the cameras were on!
The guests enjoyed the entertainment provided
Bella has some amazing breasts.
jades ass is a sight to behold. The directors and I are currently attempting to bribe her into moving to town. Donna and I are fighting over whether Jade should stay at the Armory or at Donna's house while she looks for something permanent.
That is my Grandmother in top left. You cant see, but she has big tits. Cherry need to work on her cock-grabbing skills, but I am pleased that she deserved to graduate into service.

Where do the four candidates running for two
seats on the South Pasadena City Council stand on an issue that has dragged on for
decades but refuses to go away: The 710 freeway, including the unnerving possibility that
it might extend across South Pas in the form of an underground tunnel.
That—along with whether or not the candidates support the idea of a legal challenge to the 710 tunnel—was the last of four questions prepared in advance at last week's candidates forum.
The candidates—incumbents Michael Cacciotti and Philip Putnam, and first-time contestants Diana Mahmud and Alan Reynolds—appeared before a well-attended candidates' forum in the City Council Chambers of City Hall. The highlights of their views about the 710 are presented in the attached video.
The Oct. 3 event was co-sponsored by the Pasadena League of Women Voters and WISPPA (Women Involved in South Pasadena Political Action).

• What's South Pas's Greatest Threat and Opportunity? (Candidates' Forum Part II)
