Charing Cross Road, London, WC2H 0JP
After playing in the West End for 24 years, it has been announced that Blood Brothers will end its run at the Phoenix Theatre on 10 November 2012 (previously announced to close on 27 October 2012). Few musicals have received quite such acclaim as BLOOD BROTHERS. It has been voted MOST POPULAR BRITISH MUSICAL OF ALL TIME by readers of The New York Times and has scooped up four awards for Best Musical in London and seven Tony Award nominations on Broadway.When it closes, Bill Kenwright's production of Willy Russell's musical will have played over 10,000 performances in London, making it the third longest-running musical ever to play the West End.Written by Willy Russell, one of England's leading contemporary dramatists, the story is set in Liverpool in post-war 1960s Britain. The 3-hour show follows the journeys of Eddie and Micky Johnstone, twin brothers who are separated at birth and grow up on opposite sides of the tracks. As they grow older, leading ostensibly separate lives, they begin to gravitate back towards each other, until they eventually become friends. However, the touching story of unconditional and instinctive brotherly love is tarnished forever by tragedy.The incredible score of Blood Brothers includes Bright New Day and the emotionally charged Tell Me It's Not True. Get tickets now to catch it live on the London stage.
"A miracle! Still unmissable and unbeatable" - The Spectator "The best musical in the West End" - Daily Mirror "Gripping, gritty and superbly hummable - it's a must!" - Mail on Sunday "The music soared, the tiny audience and committed cast laughed and cried together. Very special. Highly recommended." - Phil Willmott at the BBC "The show rings out as a rich, detailed and desperately moving piece of work." - Fiona Mountford at the Evening Standard "Above all this is a very human story about love, friendship and the things that can go wrong when the truth isn't told – and one of those shows that should be seen by everyone with a beating heart." - Louise Kingsley at TNT Magazine

Google isn't going to let a little failed purchase of Yelp get in the way of its expansion into local mobile advertising. The search giant today added "Near Me Now" fuctionality to the iPhone.
And while results may not be thorough today, Google is providing plenty of incentive to small businesses to sign up with Google local and help the search engine achieve the kind of dominance in local that it has mastered online.

Apple is buying Quattro Wireless... and coming out with a tablet computer. Google just announced its entry into the mobile phone market. TVs air programming streamed from the web (or from a PC in the next room), and soon they'll accommodate HD video Skype calls. All this digital convergence has to make you wonder: are there still digital channels, or is digital just becoming, well... just plain digital - a channel unto its multiplicity of selves?
Devices just aren't specific anymore. You play games on your phone, surf the web on your TV, and watch TV on a wireless handheld device. Is it still talking "on the phone" if I "dial" via Google Voice on my Blackberry, or via Skype on my laptop? Are you "watching television" if you're viewing an episode from your favorite series on Hulu, YouTube, or iTunes - and watching on a PC or tablet or even a phone? "Reading the newspaper" on an ebook reader?
And will all this convergence make marketing simpler, or much more complex?

The 13-year-old was found safe and well at around 10pm, after the alarm was raised around two hours earlier.
The search, across the West Wight, involved numerous police officers, a helicopter and volunteers from Isle of Wight Search and Rescue.

Social Security faces a funding shortfall in 2033 which, if not addressed, could result in across the board benefit cuts of about 23%. While this shortfall does not pose an immediate crisis, there are reasonable changes that Congress should enact to keep Social Security solvent and strengthen it for current and future generations:
1) Eliminate the cap on Social Security payroll contributions. In 2014, only wages up to $117,000 will be subject to the Social Security payroll deduction. Lifting the cap will subject all wages to the payroll contribution which will help address the majority of Social Security's projected funding shortfall.
2) Slowly increase the payroll contribution rate by 1/20th of one percent over 20 years. This gradual increase in the rate will significantly strengthen Social Security's financial condition well into the future.
3) Treat all salary reduction plans like 401ks. All workers pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on their contributions to retirement accounts but no payroll taxes are collected from workers flexible spending accounts such as HSAs, transit and dependent care plans. This change will add money to the program.
4) Increase the basic benefit for all current and future retirees by 5% of the basic benefit (about $55 per month). This modest but meaningful benefit improvement is a long-overdue boost, especially for low-to-middle income beneficiaries who rely upon their Social Security benefit for the majority of their income.
5) Provide Social Security credits for caregivers. When computing the Social Security benefit, grant up to five family service years to workers who leave paid employment to provide care to children under the age of 6 or to elderly or disabled family members. This will provide greater parity for women's benefits which are typically less than men's due to interruptions to paid employment caused by family caregiving needs.
We've written before about the billion dollar anti-Social Security lobby, led by Wall Streeter Pete Peterson and his myriad number of astroturf front groups, here, here and here. These CEO and Wall Street friendly groups are spending a lot of money to convince Congress that grandma and grandpa's Social Security is to blame for our economic woes rather than talk about the real problem...$1 trillion in corporate loopholes and income inequality which is destroying the middle class.
Hats off to the Institute for Policy Studies and the Center for Effective Government for their new report detailing the truth behind America's CEO-led campaign against Social Security. Thanks also to the Huffington Post for this terrific infographic highlighting the report's key findings:
It's not very often a speech in Congress is so dead-on that we share it, in its entirety, here. Yesterday's speech by Senator Elizabeth Warren on America's retirement crisis is a notable exception. We highly recommend you give it a view:
While some in Washington may have given up on a so-called "grand bargain," many others including the White House, have left benefit cuts to millions of seniors, veterans and people with disabilities on the budget bargaining table. Contrary to claims by Chained CPI proponents, this change to the annual COLA calculation is not a "technical tweak" but a benefit cut for the oldest and most vulnerable Americans who would be least able to afford it. Additionally, recent research by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare Foundation, in consultation with economist Dean Baker, shows that adoption of the Chained CPI could cut $31 billion in economic output and more than 200,000 jobs nationwide.
Activists from the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, AARP, NOW, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Generations United, NARFE, Social Security Works and other advocacy groups converged on the White House to tell President Obama "No" to the chained CPI. Protestors with signs illustrating the negative economic impact in each of the nation's 50 states plus Washington, D.C. rallied along Pennsylvania Avenue and were joined by Rep. Keith Ellison (MN-5) and Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-2).
"The coalition here today is diverse, strong and unified in our opposition to Social Security benefit cuts like those that would come with the Chained CPI. Groups here today represent not just seniors but also young people, veterans, civilians, people with disabilities and middle class families. We're all here together to say the negative impact of the Chained CPI should not be ignored or trivialized any longer. The White House and others have said this benefit cut is nothing more than a "technical tweak,"...but the truth is it would be a benefit cut imposed on the oldest and most vulnerable Americans who would be least able to afford it." Max Richtman, NCPSSM President/CEO
Here's a video of activists rallying at the White House.

No-Knot Eyelet
- Line-to-leader attachment device
- For hollow core floating lines
- 15 eyelets
Rated 5 out of 5 by 13
Rated 5 out of 5 by ThomM Wow!
A bit of a challenge for old eyes and fingers. But, I tried jerry's suggestion and used a pin to make a hole in the 5W line, but it was too big to go far enough. I wound up taking on of the eyelets and squeezing the barbs down and used it to make a pilot hole. I made sure that I went as deep as I needed by sizing up against a good barb. Then I replaced the pilot barb with a good one. That worked for me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sierrafishing Works good
I like these for the fact that they enable me to use a knot that is much tighter than a fly line to leader knot. This allows the leader to be reeled up through the guides much easier and smoother than with a conventional line to leader knot. This is a big help with long leaders when landing a fish. I was skeptical of these and the possibility of failure(pulling out of the line) but thought I'd try them anyway. I don't recall ever having one of these pull out of my line although I have never caught any fish bigger than a couple of pounds while using these so I can't say how they would perform with larger fish. I haven't had any problems using these and they make re-tying leaders easier.

I have been using Eyelets on my Fly Rods for over 50 years. Glad to find that you carry them as most stores do not.
I purchased 2 sizes. The smaller size , installed on a friends new fly rod. I am coaching him on Fly Fishing. He is 84 years old. I am also coaching my Grand sons [7 to 12 yrs]. I started at age 10 and at 74, still love Fly Fishing. There is nothing quite like it.
Thanks for the good service.
July 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by SanDee The no knot eyelet...the best idea.
It makes the tying very simple. The line is just tied to the eyelet instead of the 2 lines together. I use the small one. Just feed it into the line slow and straight. If your hand isn't that steady and it goes a little crooked, just cut that little piece off and do it again. You'll get it.

Can the government take over maintaining my car maintenance? Or my monthly haircuts?
Why does something happen, and we have a tendacy to think it's big government's place to run along and fix it?
I was a student at Northwest Community College in 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit. You should have seen our community jump into action. Our school opened their coliseum to temporarily take in fleeing residents. From there, our local Church of Christ and First Baptist Church both began claiming residents to live in buildings on church property. We were not waiting on the federal government to throw us a bone. We acted. It's a good thing too, because the federal government was nowhere to be found.
I'm not saying it doesn't make sense to have some agencies run federally. But we need to question how someone that lives hundreds of miles away can effectively manage crises in AR, MS, or TN. Romney proposed moving more of this away from the federal level and to the state level. I like this idea.
You know, why fix something that isn't broken? We have been the most successful country in the world, and now there is a call to change what's led to that success. People want bigger government. People want more economic equality. The more income equality we grant through our progressive tax code, the less incentive we have to drive that success we've traditionally seen from our people. Would we rather be poor so long as we're equal?

10 things ever Teapartier should know. Really.
I think this is pretty dead on.
- President Obama Cut Your Taxes
- The Stimulus is Working
- First Ronald Reagan Tripled the National Debt…
- …Then George W. Bush Doubled It Again
- Republican States Have the Worst Health Care
- Medicare is a Government Program
- Barack Obama is Not a Muslim
- Barack Obama was Born in the United States
- 70,000 Does Not Equal 2,000,000
- The Economy Almost Always Does Better Under Democrats
I won't have none of your gol' dang evolution nonsense in this country
We don't get to see the movie about Darwin discovering evolution and struggling with faith because heaven forbid we have a small art house movie provide some introspection for us to examine our own faith and beliefs. No, we need someone else to tell us how evil it is. Don't believe them, those scientists are horrible people who spread lies with their empirical evidence and their scientific method. I have a book. Everything you need to know is in this book. But not just any one of this book. It has to be my version which has only the parts I and this James guy approve. Don't read Darwin. He deal in facts.
Texas will no longer teach about the moon landing?
Obviously there wasn't enough God involved.
Hmm, maybe that Nazi Obama parade float wasn't such a great idea after all
Ya think?
Republicans are coming down on Olympia Snowe
The only one of them who really seems to think about, well, things, and make good choices for her constituents, based on facts and reason. Damn shame. Sen. Rockefeller hints at the pressure, and that she's considering switching sides.
A Customer of Bank of America begins her own revolt against their high credit card rates
So your credit card company starts you at 12.99% then gets over-leveraged on bad investments mostly due to greed, then they double your card rates just to cover their own mistakes while rewarding the people who made the bad investments. Get out the guillotine and start chanting "Liberty"!
Orly Taitz's client writes a letter renouncing her, Taitz believes it is a forgery
The birther queen has really let this whole forgery thing go to her head. I wonder if she believes in her own birth certificate?
Defending the decision to abandon the missile shield
Rep. Steve King: My best vote was against disaster relief for Katrina victims
Yes, Steve King (R-IA) thinks Katrina victims and New Orleans didn't need any help.
Republicans are against net neutrality
Hm, what a surprise they are for big business and against what would be good for people. Net neutrality affects what voices are heard, what data is available to you and a lot more than you'd think.
Of course, this could just be another example of the "Party of no" Republicans. The Dems are for it, so obviously it must threaten our freedoms and our way of life, except that net neutrality is about freedom…I wonder how they justify this?
Michele Bachmann advocates zero regulations for insurance companies
Let's think about this just a little bit. When's the last time too little regulation worked out well for America? Let's go back to the current meltdown. Or maybe the Savings and Loan Collapse, or the manufactured energy crisis in California, or Enron, or the oil speculation market, or the, well, the list keeps going. This is a fallacy of Libertarianism that just has to die.
There's two kinds of Libertarians. One seeks free markets because the feel an unimpeded market will do what is best for it. They're wrong. The market is driven by greed, not sense and practicality, and we're reminded all too often (usually with an economic collapse and millions of Americans suffering) when that greed gets too overbearing.
The second is even more naive. The second believes that without interference, the markets will naturally do what is best for Americans and itself in a very altruistic way. This is the Ayn Rand, theory, but they are the Trekkies of the political world, relegated to the fringes of politics by their inability to recognize social dynamics. They stand over in the corner, sneering at the rest of us and our inability to see how great their idea really is.
But you know what I may have this group wrong. They may be the punk rockers of the political world, marginalized and sneering at authority, ready to trash a hotel room for their cause. Yeah, the altruistic libertarian is the Sex Pistols of politics, Ron Paul, the Johnny Rotten of them all.
I guess this would make the Michele Bachmann sort into the Pop Punk movement, out to make a buck while barely being competent at their trade.
Either way, we're fucked.

Apple has hired a security researcher who built a name at Microsoft by helping to strengthen security around the Windows operating system.
In the new role for her Cupertino, California-based employer, Kristin Paget, formerly known as Chris Paget, is expected to net similar results for Apple's OS X operating system and related product lines.
During Paget's tenure at Microsoft, a variety of security bugs that would have further impacted the Vista operating system were identified prior to launch. The launch date was subsequently delayed until those issues could be resolved.
[Related: Apple's Oh So Brief Black Hat Appearance]
Paget joined Apple in September, according to her LinkedIn profile, where she claims the title, Core OS Security Researcher.
The hiring is a "smart move," according to Steve Weeks, president of Netcetera, a North Vancouver, British Columbia-based channel partner. "Everybody knew that as [Apple] became more popular in the business space, people would start to attack them. I think a lot more security vendors saw that coming, so they started doing things to make sure that their products were able to support Apple. I don't think Apple is less secure than they used to be, but I do think they're a lot more on the radar of people who are trying to hack and push out viruses. They've moved into a more vulnerable space by getting into the business end of things."
Given that shift, security appears to have a higher profile at Apple than has previously been the case. The company for the first time sent representatives to address last summer's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, but their presentation was immediately followed by a notably hasty exit.
But, Paul Henry, a forensics and security expert at Lumension, suggests that Apple has a long way to go.
"Apple is trying to be an enterprise player, yet at the same time are not doing an enterprise-class job of patching things," he said. "Apple, as a company, needs to grow up."
Specifically, Henry takes issue with Apple's patch deployment, not just in terms of its own technology but also as it relates to technologies embedded into Apple's systems.
"We had an issue a few months back with three known Java vulnerabilities. But, Apple only included one of those patches in their download, so people were still exposed for quite some time. Microsoft rolled out the patches instantly, but Apple drags their feet. Apple needs to investigate what's been done by Microsoft, but Apple will never admit, or want to do, anything like Microsoft."

The Eagle's Tail
- ‹ Previous program
- 257 of 2174
- Next program ›
The constellation Aquila is a skywatching rarity: a pattern of bright stars that really does resemble its namesake -- in this case, an eagle. It's not that hard to see two widespread wings and a graceful neck in the constellation.
But the people who drew the constellation may have gone a little too far with the eagle's tail feathers. They're way off center, behind Altair, the constellation's brightest star, which is near the northern wingtip.
Astronomers refer to the two "tail" stars as Zeta and Epsilon Aquilae. But together, they also have an older Arabic name: Deneb al Okab -- the eagle's tail.
The northern star in the tail is actually a system of three or more stars. Only one of them is bright enough to see with the unassisted eye. It's a type of star known as a red giant. That means it's in the final stages of life. Its core is getting hotter and denser, while its outer layers are puffing out and getting cooler. That's the same process that awaits the Sun in several billion years.
The southern star is a multiple-star system, too. Its brightest star is fairly early in life. It's bigger, heavier, and hotter than the Sun. And it spins like mad: close to 200 times faster than the Sun. That means the star bulges out at the equator, so it looks like a squished beachball.
Look for the eagle high in the southeast at nightfall, high above the gibbous Moon. It soars across the south in late evening, and sets before dawn.

I'm a writer. You just never know what might come to mind for me to blog about.

A Writing Career, by Diane Craver
A Writing Career
Juggling a writing career with my family is definitely full of highs and lows. When I'm absorbed in writing a new story, or spending hours promoting my published books, I feel guilt in not spending time with my family. I feel like I'm spreading myself too thin with trying to cope with many different things at the same time.
I'm not alone. I've heard many authors complain how they don't have time to write because of all the marketing that's necessary. When a new writer receives the first contract, he or she is elated, but soon marketing the book becomes a reality. Spending time doing yahoo chats, author interviews, book signings, contests, mailing promo items, writing blog posts, and advertising takes time away from writing. Many times I have to confess that I feel like quitting, but then I'll get a positive book review or a reader contacts me and says how much they loved one of my books. Fortunately, this always seems to happen on one of my down days, and it boosts my spirit to knowing I must continue writing.
My husband is retired now so that makes it harder at times to write. He thinks I'm on the computer too much, and doesn't understand how much time I need to devote to actual writing, editing and promoting. He doesn't like to read and never reads books! Except mine, of course. I was impressed that he took time to read them and shared what he liked about each one. It was interesting to get his perspective as a nonreader. When I worked recently at a temporary job in Cincinnati, it was completely different. He was glad to see me receiving a regular paycheck for the hours I worked. As a writer, the financial gain isn't equal to the time I put in, so I can fully understand his feelings. The truth is I'm not a best-selling author. My royalty checks are not in the big digits but I appreciate receiving them. After all, my books are marketed by reputable, small publishers. And it does take time to build a huge readership.
We were blessed with six children. Although four are adults with their own lives, two of our daughters with special needs are living at home. I spend a lot of time taking care of them, meeting the demands of frequent doctor appointments and many other issues. But they are worth every minute of it.
It's funny when someone says something like this to me, "I wish I could sit around and write instead of doing my job." Of course, I don't mention the lows of a writing career because I want to continue their myth of the carefree life of a published author. LOL Let's face it, writers want to appear glamorous. And staying in my pajamas in the morning to write at my laptop might not be the image the speaker has in mind, but it's one of the benefits in writing for a career.
Another definite high in writing is escaping to a wonderful fictional world with characters becoming real to me. While I wrote Whitney in Charge, I enjoyed being part of the three sisters' lives as they had fun exploring their business options. But most of all, I liked writing about Whitney falling in love again.
I must continue to manage a writing career with my home life because I can't seem to shut my mind off to possible future story lines. Character dialogue keeps popping in my mind. Any kind of occurrence seems to stimulate my writing processes in anticipating the outcome if I put a different spin it. And I realize my what if would make a fantastic story.
Yes, I'm cursed and blessed at the same time to be a writer. And now you know, the real life behind Author Diane Craver!
Blurb: TV producer Whitney Benson is tired of her older sisters' attempts to fix her up with every single male they meet. Shannon and Regan cross the line when they arrange for her to go skydiving with the simple excuse that more guys like to float in the air than women.
Whitney meets two eligible bachelors, Jack and Ben, who constantly battle for her affection. Which one will she choose? Both men make Whitney realize, even a heart shattered by her husband's death, can once again be made whole.
But did she have to fall off a cliff to learn that?

Hi Carol,
Thank you for the great introduction! I'm happy to be here today.
I'll be back a little later this morning unless I pass out from exhaustion. LOL I'm walking 5 acres with my husband that we are thinking of buying. - 6:46 AM
- Cate Masters said...
Great post, Diane! I definitely share your pain, but the highs outweigh the lows, so we keep plugging away, don't we! Best of luck with Whitney in Charge! Sounds like a great read.
- Diane Craver said...
Thanks, Cate! Writing and publishing is a hard business but definitely worth it!
- Judy said...
Great post. I enjoyed hearing about your life. I could not do what you and the other authors do. For starters, I cannot write, so I do not have to worry about it:) I have always wondered how writers got anything done in their private lives, or how they had much private life. Good luck with Whitney in Charge, it sounds like a great read.
- Denise Patrick said...
Great interview and post, Diane. My husband is retired, too, but I still work a full time job as well as write. Like yours, he doesn't feel all the effort I put into promo is worth the size of the checks that come in, but for me it's a Labor of Love.
Kudos to you for being able to write and take care of your special needs daughters, too. I only have two children and both are in college, so I don't have much of a family to take care of - and my husband never reads my books, although he's a voracious reader otherwise. - 11:30 AM
I'm trying to write a novel about a widow/widower falling in love. Is this something you've been through yourself? Do you have any suggestions on research? . Right now the big question in the book is how to be to sure you're ready to move on
- Delia Latham said...
Hi, Diane! I'm so glad I dropped in to read your guest blog. I'm glad to know I'm not the only author who sometimes thinks of "quitting." The crazy emotional highs and lows of a writer's life are all just part of the process, and you're right - it only takes one comment from a reader who was touched by something in your book to help us remember why we write. I hope God truly blesses and anoints Whitney in Charge to be a success for you!
- Rita Hestand said...
HI Diane you are absolutely right about juggling your career, but it
can be done. I used to babysit, and I needed to write too, so I'd put a baby on my knee at the keyboard.
A writer doesn't write because they just want to be a writer. A true writer writes because deep down inside they have to.Somehow, some way we always find the time for it.
Never give up, because a true writer would be miserable if they
couldn't write. It's inborn I'm afraid. There are people who say they want to write a book someday
but the real writers are the ones that do it, no matter what. Keep on going, Diane, it's the only
I also understand the not understanding too. Because a writer leads a much different life than most people. We are in front of our computers way too much, but it cannot be helped. It is where we work, and how we work.
The trick I think is to find a little time for normal life, and writing life, and it's a strange balance.
Goodluck Diane! - 1:30 PM
Diane - thanks for your "behind the scene" comments about the life of a writer. I am defintely one of those people who romanticize it, and am glad to know both sides of the story.
- Diane Craver said...
Bless your heart - that's really neat how sympathetic you are when you aren't a writer. And maybe someday you will write so I don't mean to be discouraging. :) It's pretty neat to see your hard labor published. - 3:36 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Hi Denise,
I'm so glad you stopped by. That's right your husband is retired, too. And you're busy, I know, with church activities and so many things. You're great at balancing your writing career with your full-time job and etc. - 3:40 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Good question. Fortunately, I haven't experienced being a widow. My husband and I have been married for 34 years. I never did any research but I saw how hard it was on others when a spouse died. Also some have told me that going thru a divorce is similar to experiencing a death.
Try to get inside your character's head as much as possible and that might help you to realize when he or she is ready to move on. Also what kind of a marriage did the widow/widower have? Was it a good marriage? How long were they married? Were they high school sweethearts? Or did they meet later in life? - 3:53 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Hi Delia,
It's great to see you here! I have to tell you that my cousin passed out the bookmarks you designed for me at the Craver reunion yesterday!
I heard recently a new author cried when she realized how much work promoting was, so decided it was important to show both sides of a writing career.
Thank you so much - I'm hoping Whitney will be a success, too. :) - 3:56 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Thank you for stopping by and taking time to share what writing means to you.
And you're right - I've had many people tell me that they wish they could find the time to write, and I think if they really wanted to, they would. I know a few weeks before and during the Christmas season, I don't write and I miss it so much. - 4:00 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Nice to see you here, Margo! I'm glad you read my post and thanks for the comments.
- PhyllisC said...
Thanks so much for your comments on "real life" for an author. Many times in life we seem to think that the grass is greener on the other side. This just goes to remind us that even though your life is good it's not the idle life that some seem to think. Good luck on this one - I hope it is a best seller. :)
- Mary Ricksen said...
Six kids! You are freaking amazing!!!
Good luck, great blog. - 5:13 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Hi Phyllis,
So true - we always think other people have it nicer than we do but in reality, they probably have their own challenges in life.
Thanks - hope Whitney does well, too! - 7:29 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Hi Mary,
Yeah, life was crazy and fun at the same time when we had 6 kids all at home. I'll never forget once when a guy came to our house to sell us an air filter and we not only had our 6 but they had friends over. He stood in the foyer with his mouth wide open, watching kids coming in all directions. I think he was trying to count them but they were moving too quickly. LOL - 7:37 PM
- Nancy G said...
And I thought I was going crazy with four kids. Thank goodness mine are all grown up (???) and gone, except the youngest. I wish I had the nerve to be a real writer, but I just can't seem to work up the courage for it. I do a bit of writing in the reviews I do for a site, but I'm afraid thats about it. I am looking forward to reading Whitney's story.
- Diane Craver said...
I had a blast yesterday. Thank you so much for hosting me on your wonderful blog.
Thank you, everyone, for the great comments. You've all been entered in the August 15th contest!
Enjoy your Tuesday! - 6:00 AM
- Miss Mae said...
Interesting post, Diane, and happy to hear you're going to keep juggling! LOL
Thrilled about Whitney too. Beautiful cover! - 7:49 AM
- Diane Craver said...
Hi Miss Mae,
Good to see you here. Thank you - I love the cover, too - 8:04 AM
I don't know... working in your PJs sounds pretty sweet. :) I can't wait to read about Whitney and her sisters.
- Jennifer Shirk said...
Great interview, Diane!
It's so hard to strike that balance of home responsibilites and our writing. - 12:52 PM
- Diane Craver said...
Hi Jennifer,
It is hard but you are definitely doing a great job. :) You always make time for your family but still squeeze writing into your schedule! Congrats on your new contract! - 2:35 PM
- Carol Ann said...
Diane, it has been wonderful having you as my Monday guest blogger. I wish you much success with WHITNEY IN CHARGE. Please let me know any time you'd like to stop by and guest again. You're always welcome.
- Diane Craver said...
Thank you, Carol. It's been fun being here. I appreciate all the great comments. And thanks for inviting me back.
Sometime soon I'd like you to be a guest blogger at mine. - 9:25 PM
- Dina said...
hi again Diane,
enjoyed your excerpt.
thanks for touring, fun to ck out new blogs. - 10:10 PM
- Patty L. said...
Hi Diane,
This is a great article and a wonderful look into the inner workings of a great writer. I can't tell you enough how happy I am to know you and to have such a wonderful writer to look up to. Thank you. - 10:54 AM
- Diane Craver said...
Thank you so much for stopping by and for the lovely comments. I'm glad you liked the article.

-------- Original Message -------- From: Giuseppe Ciaccio <ciaccio at disi.unige.it> Subject: New release of GAMMA To: GAMMA developers <gamma_sw at listserver.dsi.uniroma1.it> Hello all, I have just put a new release of GAMMA on the web. This version of GAMMA is currently under testing on a medium-size (16 nodes) cluster, thanks to Mino Anglano (Univ. Piemonte Orientale); it appears stable enough, although some bugs might still show up. The installation procedure of GAMMA has been made much easier. Support for mixed GAMMA and IP traffic on the same LAN is now stable. Support for "machine files" has been added (when launching a GAMMA job, you are now allowed to specify which process instances are to run on which node in the cluster). Browse the updated WWW page of GAMMA, http://www.disi.unige.it/project/GAMMA and follow the "What's New" link to know more. A new version of MPI/GAMMA has been released as well. A bug in the "mpigammarun" launch script has been found and fixed.

Love this chandelier! Did a room makeover for my daughter's birthday. I switched it out from hard wire to plug in for my young daughter - figured she could take it with her should she ever leave. ;-) Did buy the plug in kit at local hardware store. Took me about 45-60 minutes to do this. I did have my dad help me with this. It was not so easy first looking at it by myself (even with directions). But after going through it with him - easy peasy. Of course - right! The crystals are crystals - not plastic. It really adds that something special to the room. They even provided extra parts should you need it. I love this chandelier I am seriously contemplating getting 1 or 2 for my bedroom. And it is an excellent price for the product.
This was such a great price for a mini chandy for my little girl's room! It was a lot sturdier than I was expecting for the price. Unfortunately, the arms are not all quite evenly spaced, and because the metal is so sturdy, I couldn't bend it quite into shape. It did install relatively easily, though the opening screw on one of the connector chain links was completely painted closed - luckily we only needed one. Despite the shortcomings, it is still a great little inexpensive way to add some girly charm to a room, and I don't feel that I'm so far invested that she can't ever change her mind on light fixtures for her space.
After looking at a lot of stores online and around town, I finally found this one for a reasonable price! I bought it for my newly renovated closet and it is perfect! My husband was a little unsure but actually admitted he likes it. I will say that if we were 6 ft tall, our heads would bump it in the closet! The light is beautiful, very little assembly was required and it was easy to install.
The majority of the reviews are spot on for this chandelier, which I read before purchasing. Likes: Size is perfect & doesn't overwhelm my newborn daughter's nursery. Crystals aren't plastic, which could be expected for the price. I shopped a lot of chandeliers and was amazed at how expensive they can be, this is a great value. Overall style of chandelier is perfect for what I was looking for and the photos are fairly accurate (only issue is 2 lights show vs. 3 - see dislikes) There's a lot of nice detail on the leaves/petals, which makes the chandelier look more expensive than it is. Dislikes: Installation was difficult. My handy husband, who is generally the calmest guy in the room almost wanted to throw it out the window. Instructions are subpar & the wiring wasn't standard (black/white or something, but rather one wire was bumpy and the other not????). Our install was further complicated b/c our new home was prewired for a ceiling fan, so the extra support caused some clearance issues with the chandelier. Husband had to cut down some screws and do some major finagling in order to make it work. We ended up putting it up and taking it down twice. The other issue I have is appearance-wise. Since there are 3 lights, the picture is a little off b/c 2 show up well. My lights are a tad crooked, so the light looks a little unbalanced if you look at it from certain angles. I've tried to bend them back, but didn't want to push too hard and cause damage or paint flaking off. Overall the installation issues were worth it & I love this chandelier. My husband may not agree, however.....
My chandelier came fully assembled with little bags around each of the crystals; I expected I'd have to assemble it so this was a nice surprise. I also received the gloves and extra crystals. I think it is prettier in person! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is having anxiety over what to select... you won't be disappointed!
I got this for my daughter's nursery! I couldn't beat the price, others run XXX bucks at Pottery Barn etc. The 1st one I received the chain was rusted and it was painted shut. Also, it had missing crystals and some were chipped/cracked. And my husband was less than impressed. It sent that back and received another one and unfortunately I was disappointed again, the petals were all bent up and then the chain was painted shut again, so I am returning it to be refunded.
Oh my I absolutely love my mini chandelier! I purchased this for my sewing, / craft, / inspiration room! It's a show stopper and super bright I put it on a dimmer so I can dim it if necessary but I love the look of it super bright! I'm considering purchasing another one for my walk in closet! CUTE CUTE CUTE!
We redecorated and bedroom for our granddaughter and this is the cherry on top. We love it. So much so that we bought another Chandelier, not like this one, for our dining room.
I ordered this chandelier for our baby girl's nursery. It was the exact look I was going for. The size is perfect. Not too big and not too small. It is an average size bedroom. There are a ton of crystals. Takes some time to put them all in but it really makes the chandelier. To me, this light would only make sense in a nursery, closet or laundry room. Not for a dining room or big space
just the right amount of bling for my bedroom. Love it

pom-poms o' power.
22 comments:
These are much easier than what I'm in the middle of right now. I'm making one that involves a paper lantern, tulle, and hot glue. It's a big pain in the butt, but I refuse to give up! It's for a baby shower, but I think I'll hang it in Peyton's room just because it's taking so long to finish!
ReplyDeletelove goonies... let my kids watch it, even though it has bad language and inappropriate humor. call me a bad mom. it's a classic.
and i also love tissue paper pom-poms, in fact i'm getting ready to make a bazzilion of them for 40 table centerpieces at our school's fundraising auction. wish me luck. i will probably never want to see another pom-pom again in my life.
thanks for the tutorial :)
love you,
jennMy name is Wendy and I am a pom-pom addict too. Ha! I made a dining room full of these babies for my sister's highschool graduation. Actually they adorned the living room and kitchen too!!! And there are a couple yellow beauties hanging in my daugher's room right now! :)
Have a great weekend!
thank you for your comments! i read each and every one of them, and they make my day (well, the nice ones anyways).
please check back here for answers to your questions, and also feel free to engage with my other readers. we can all support and encourage one another---we all have something to offer.
thanks friends!

text: In the concluding episode of Xena: Warrior Princess' own "Ring Trilogy," the battle pitting Xena (Lucy Lawless) against Norse god Odin and the Valkyries is over -- at least for the moment. Having lost her memory, Xena believes that she is Wealthea, bride of Norseman Hrothgar (John Leigh). Alas, if Xena doesn't recover soon, Gabrielle will remain in eternal sleep, surrounded by an impenetrable circle of fire with the sacred Rheingold ring by her side. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

When's the last time you were offended?
"You have adults going, "I was offended! I was offended!" Well, so what? Be offended! Nothing happens! You're an adult, grow up, deal with it. "But I was offended!" I don't care! Nothing happens when you're offended. It's not like, "I went to a comedy show, and the comedian said something about the Lord, and I was offended, and when I woke up in the morning, I had leprosy!" Nothing happens. "I want to live in a democracy, but I never want to be offended again!" Well, you're an idiot."—
Steve Hughes (via cocknbull)
I get around this by understanding people are allowed their own views and so long as said views don't effect me, I don't care. So if I see a show or a comic that offends me, I walk out. That's it. If they're preaching hate or violence, I might send them a nasty email or post something nasty about them on my blog. But that's it. I've got better things to do than waste time being offended.
Which reminds me, I've got better things to do that belaboring this point. :)

When I heard that Meryl Streep had been cast as Julia Child in Nora Ephron's new biopic, Julie & Julia, I put my grouchy pants on. Fine-featured, delicate Streep as Amazonian, earthy Julia? Sacre bleu!
Well, score one for Meryl.
Streep is absolutely winning in this part, which chronicles Julia's move to France in 1949 and her two greatest love affairs: with French cuisine and with her loyal, doting husband Paul (Stanley Tucci, who after The Devil Wears Prada is becoming Streep's true partner in charm.) She gets the trilling voice right, the towering stature, and the sensual pleasure Julia took in food. What's more, she captures the great chef's joie de vivre. There's a buoyancy to Streep's performance that is completely irresistible.
That's the Julia part of our story. The Julie part focuses on a modern-day low-level bureaucrat (Amy Adams), who is feeling unfulfilled in her life. She and her very own doting husband (Chris Messina) cook up a madcap idea: She will recreate every recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art...
