Patricia Volk's mother was beautiful in a way that stopped people on the street. Strangers compared her to Lana Turner and Grace Kelly. She was stylish and vain: Her beauty and its preservation mattered to her. "She had an icy blond beauty, an imperious kind of beauty," Volk tells Fresh Air's Terry Gross.
It was the kind of beauty that Volk knew from an early age she would never match, but that didn't stop her mother from hoping. When Volk would arrive home from a party, the first question her mother would ask her was whether Volk had been the prettiest girl there. Volk's typical response was no doubt not the one her mother wanted.
"I would just kind of shrug," Volk says. "Most of the time I said, 'No, Mom, I wasn't. Bobbie Finkelstein was there and she's much prettier than I am.' … I hated the question. … I hated it. I was like, you know, she didn't ask me if I had a good time. She didn't ask me if a boy asked me to dance. It was as if the only thing that was important was that I was the prettiest girl there. I didn't care about that."
And yet Volk didn't necessarily aspire to her mother's idea of beauty because while she recognized its power, she also recognized its limitations.
"It was a curse," she says, "because beauty is evanescent, and I knew my mother would get old. I had a grandmother who was considered so beautiful that she once received a letter [addressed as], 'Postman, postman, do your duty, deliver this letter to the Princeton beauty,' and it got to her door. But she was a grandmother by the time I knew her, and she was no longer beautiful and that was going to happen to my mother. I knew early on that I wanted to be responsible for what made my life good. I didn't want it to be something god-given or something that could be taken away from me by time."
Volk found an another way to think about fashion and beauty when she discovered the fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli's memoir, Shocking Life, on her mother's bookshelf. Her surrealist-influenced fashion and her personality — not her face — got Schiaparelli attention. The title of Volk's new memoir, Shocked, echoes that of Schiaparelli's autobiography, and the book contrasts what Volk learned from her mother's conventional sense of beauty and being a woman with Schiaparelli's.
"Schiaparelli," says Volk, "gave me an alternative way to be."
Interview Highlights
On her mother's makeup regimen
"She had an elaborate maquillage and when I was a little girl I loved watching her put on her makeup. I loved it and it also disturbed me because it masked her face. By the time she was finished with all these layers of paint, she had actually put a mask of her face on top of her face. She would put on so much Max Factor pancake makeup — which she sometimes called her 'base' — that really her face was all even like the skating rink at Rockefeller Center. It was just this flat plane and then she'd sculpt cheekbones in with what she called 'rouge' — I guess they now call it 'blush' — and then she'd put eyes back on with blue eye shadow and mascara, and the whole thing took a long time and she always wore this green velvet robe that I loved and her vanity was entirely made of mirror. Even the wastebasket that came with it was made of mirror and the stool that she sat on."
On her own sense of style and fashion
"I don't really wear 'Notice Me' clothes, but I do dress in a way that is something that pleases me. I don't know how other people react to it. I went through a vintage period that my mother was horrified by. She thought I was going to get bedbugs and lice and things, but I loved those old drippy clothes. And I think I still do. I dress a little bit like a female Oscar Wilde. I just love those high collars and those lavish ties at the neck. … I do like surrealism in my clothes. For instance, I make my buttons out of the kind of faux sushi you see in the windows of Japanese take-out places. Sometimes I use dice. I like to amuse myself with my clothes and I don't really care if anybody else likes them. I made myself a pair of earrings out of typewriter keys. That's one of my favorite things. I love getting dressed and I just do it for myself."
How Elsa Schiaparelli changed women's underwear
"Women's underwear before World War II was kind of elaborate. It was usually made of silk and it had pleats and it had to be ironed. This was in France. There was no such thing as 'drip dry' and when the war started, most of the men went to the front and the women had to take jobs. There was gas rationing and so everybody had bicycles and you had to be licensed to ride a bike in Paris, and in one year bike licenses tripled; it went up to 11 million. The way women dressed with these long skirts and this very elaborate underwear didn't lend itself to riding a bike so Schiap changed panties completely. First of all, there was famine, so she got rid of the buttons and put elastic in the waist so that as you were losing weight, your panties would stay on. Then, she made them out of drip-dry material, so you didn't need a maid to iron them … and she added a double-slung crotch and suddenly women could ride their bikes with a lot more freedom."
On the face-lift her mother had in her 40s
"When beauty is the coin of your realm you do what you need to do to keep looking good. … I think she was initially pleased. She didn't look like my mother to me anymore. She looked to me like a police sketch of my mother. To see my mother's face — the face I loved — I would look in old photo albums. The face-lift got a little bit botched. A nerve was severed. The doctor was supposed to operate on her at 8:30 in the morning and it kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed, and they didn't take her down until 6 o'clock in the evening and he severed the nerve that raised the left side of her mouth. … But my mother was such an expert at masking it that I didn't know until 40 years later that that had happened. I don't think that my father knew either, but when she got very, very sick and she really had no energy left, I saw the droop and she told me what had happened."

ARLINGTON -- Motorists will get a couple of months to break their texting-while-driving habit before the tickets begin.By 5-4 vote Tuesday, the Arlington City Council officially adopted an ordinance that makes it a Class C misdemeanor for drivers to use their cellphones for anything other than phone calls.After a public education period, a motorist could face a $200 fine if caught texting, tweeting or using other online applications at the wheel.Police expect to begin enforcement sometime before Thanksgiving, police spokeswoman Tiara Richard said. An official date will be announced later."People will have to make a conscious decision not to do so because it's become second nature for so many," Richard said. "Before enforcement starts, everyone needs to start putting their phones down."Council members Mel LeBlanc, Jimmy Bennett and Sheri Capehart voted against the ordinance for a second time.Bennett questioned whether officers could determine whether a motorist was sending a text message or an e-mail or was dialing or scrolling through contacts to find a phone number, which would be legal."I continue to hear from most citizens the acknowledgment of a problem," Bennett said about the obvious dangers of distracted driving. "The question remains, however, how the city government should respond to that."Officers would stop motorists only if they had probable cause that a violation had occurred, Assistant Police Chief Will Johnson said."If an officer sees an activity they believe is in violation of the law, they may ask you for clarification about what you are doing," Johnson said when asked whether officers will ask to examine a driver's cellphone.In addition to education through the media and community groups, the city will begin installing signs at gateways to the city and along major thoroughfares.The signs will inform motorists that "Arlington is a city where texting and driving is not allowed," Richard said.Austin and San Antonio also ban texting while driving. Arlington already bans the use of cellphones in active school zones.Susan Schrock, 817-709-7578

Organic Salad Kits — easy deliciousness
Even when you're short of time and ideas, it's easy to add a healthy salad — or a springboard for creativity — to just about any meal with our delicious organic salad kits.
Why choose organic salad kits?
- Whether you're choosing a salad kit for a quick lunch, a light dinner or a side dish, the most important ingredient is the salad itself — so it stands to reason that better greens will make a better kit.
- Like all leafy greens, spinach and lettuces can absorb impurities (like pesticides) that they're exposed to as they grow — in fact, spinach is #5 and lettuce is #11 on the Environmental Working Group's "Dirty Dozen" list, produce that carries the most pesticide residues when grown conventionally. You can lower your dietary exposure to pesticides substantially by avoiding the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables, and choosing organic for those items instead.
- Earthbound Farm organic salad kits contain greens that have been raised without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, using farming methods that regenerate the soil and protect the health of the land and the people who work on it. The toppings and dressings are all organic, with no artificial ingredients or flavors, no GMOs and no trans fats. Altogether, our salad kits make a healthy meal or side dish that's nutritious and delicious — and easy to love!
- WhatsOnMyFood.org from the Pesticide Action Network shows you searchable results for vegetables like lettuce, spinach and a wide range of other organic and conventional foods. It's an empowering tool for learning about pesticide residues and their health effects.
How to store salad kits
- Salad kits in clamshell containers — greens, toppings and dressings (if included) — are highly perishable; always keep them refrigerated. Be sure to consume them by the "use date" on the package. Discard leaves that look slimy, discolored, wilted, or smell bad.

Review this tv show
May 12, 2012Back in the 90s I read some books by Stephen Ambrose about the D-Days and the days that followed, full of memories and quotations from the heroes of those days: the ordinary American soldiers. Vietnam in HD uses the same method, and to a good result. Combined with vivid music and stunning footage, it is a great piece of historical show with a tonn of useful information.
Nov 10, 2011The show's not over yet, and I've watched diligently. I'm a 1968 combat veteran...9th Infantry Division, 5th Battalion, 60th Infantry. I arrived in early February, while the Tet Offensive was still in full swing and served 7 months in combat. I was immediately troubled by the first show's description of the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the resultant Gulf of Tonkin Resolution of 1964. Although the narrator states that this incident was "reported", I believe that the pretense is clear. However, it has been clearly established that this was a fabrication and that the resolution was a false pretense to war....not unlike the WMD fantasy that "justified" our incursion into Iraq. I hope that this is acknowledged before the show concludes.… Expand
"WWII in HD" at times felt like a rough outline of what an actual history of the war would look like, but it had all that amazing, horrifying imagery to compensate. The Vietnam in HD footage is no less incredible and/or dismaying, but it's also much more familiar.
With the line between documentary and amusement-park ride now crossed, it's easy for a critic to start noticing Vietnam in HD's other narrative and technical shortcuts with filler and stock footage, splicing in wherever needed the images we have seen before, including those familiar payload-perspective views of bombs being dropped over the hills and villages.

Officers compiling a report for the coroner into the unexpected death of a man in Derby are appealing for people to come forward if they saw him collapse.
The 38-year-old was with a group of friends in Saddler Gate in the early hours of Sunday, May 27 when he collapsed and later died.
Just before he collapsed, it is believed that the man and his friends were involved in an argument outside Saddler's bar with another group of men. Police do not believe that the man was assaulted, and his death is not being treated as suspicious, but they are keen to trace the men who were involved in the argument, or anyone who may have witnessed it. The information could help police compile their report for the coroner.
Officers would like to speak to the man in this CCTV image, who was seen in Saddler Gate at the time and may have witnessed something.
Anyone with information should call police on 101.
Do you need a quick answer to a general question? Then we recommend you visit the national Ask The Police web site.

Reconstructing the World Economy
Author/Editor: Olivier J. Blanchard, Il SaKong
Release Date: © July, 2010
Stock #: SRFMEA
Stock Status: Available
Languages and formats available
This volume presents papers from a conference organized by the Korea Development Institute and the IMF. The purpose of this high-level conference was for policymakers and academics from the Asian region and from G-20 countries to discuss forward-looking economic and financial issues of interest to the international community, such as restoring normalcy to fiscal policy, macroprudential regulation, the future of the financial system, global fiscal imbalances, and the international monetary system. Topics include: (1) A strategy for renormalizing fiscal and monetary policies in advanced economies. Key principles for restoring financial stability in the wake of the crisis, including the timing and sequence for exit, are identified. (2) Rethinking macroeconomic policy. This section examines if and how macroeconomic policy should respond to sectoral imbalances and asset-price and housing imbalances, as well as a potential role for macroprudential regulation. (3) Redesigning the financial system of the future. Responses by both policymakers and the private sector to recent events are evaluated in terms of how they will shape the future financial system and its role in the global economy. (4) Global imbalances. The argument is made that there is an urgent need to address the domestic and international distortions that are a key cause of imbalances; failure to do so would threaten the sustainability of the recovery. (5) The future of the international monetary system. Steps that can be taken to address the inherent weaknesses in the current system are described, including possible solutions on both the demand side and on the supply side.

I couldn't find a bitcoin thread so I thought I would start one.
To anyone that is unfamiliar with bitcoin, it is is a cryptocurrency created by the mysterious "Satoshi Nakamoto" in 2008. Nakamoto has never been identified and is likely to be a pseudonym. It is not known whether "he" is an individual, a group of people or even a government. The conspiracies regarding his identity are already numerous.
Here is an interesting article about the possible contenders who could be behind the cryptocurrency:

Bitcoin might have problems:
Bitcoin flaw could threaten booming virtual currency
14:57 06 November 2013
by Chris Baraniuk
Bitcoin contains a hitherto unnoticed flaw which threatens to upset the balance of the $1.5 billion economy built on the virtual currency.
Ittay Eyal and Emin Gun Sirer, of Cornell University in New York have discovered the "devastating" potential for Bitcoin "mining" – the process by which Bitcoins are generated – to be manipulated (arxiv.org/abs/1311.0243v1).
Bitcoins are generated when people connect their computers to the network and set them to work on a cryptographic puzzle. This is known as mining. When a puzzle has been solved it adds a digital "block" to the public record of all Bitcoin transactions, known as the "blockchain". The miners are then rewarded with a set amount of Bitcoins.
New Scientist is touchy about copyright issues,so I won't quote it all. However, this article should be accessible to everyone.

One of the largest heists in bitcoin history is happening right now. 96,000 bitcoins - that's roughly £60m as of the time of writing - was taken from the accounts of customers, vendors and administrators of the Sheep Marketplace over the weekend.
Sheep was one of the main sites that came to replace the Silk Road when it closed in October, but it too has now closed as a result of this theft. It's a little hard to work out exactly what's happened, but Sheep customers have been piecing it together on reddit's r/sheepmarketplace.
Here's what happened: someone (or some group) managed to fake the balances in peoples' accounts on the site, showing that they had their bitcoins in their wallets when they'd actually been transferred out. Over the course of a week the whole site was drained, until the weekend when the site's administrators realised what was happening and shut everything down.
Originally it was thought that only 5,200BTC - or £3m - was taken, with a message posted on Sheep's homepage blaming a vendor called "EBOOK101" for finding and exploiting a bug. However, over the weekend it became clear that the amount stolen was much, much larger.
In a normal robbery that money would be gone by now, but it isn't. Bitcoin is pseudonymous, not anonymous, and bitcoins can't just disappear. It works because each and every transaction is public and visible to each and every other person using the Bitcoin network, and a person is only as anonymous as their link to their wallet.
A couple of reddit users realised that the sheer size of the heist makes "tumbling" the coins - the normal method of laundering bitcoins - impossible, as long as they kept on their toes. Someone with bitcoin can send some to a tumbler like bitcoinfog, where it will be split into smaller subdivisions and mixed with other bitcoins from other places, recombining and splitting again several times over until the whole amount eventually comes out the other end, theoretically in such a way that it's impossible to track. Silk Road's in-built tumbler successfully foiled the FBI, allegedly.
However, reddit user TheNodManOut managed to track where the first bunch of transfers out of Sheep went, and from there and silkroadreloaded2 worked out which tumbler that the thief was using. Here's how silkroadreloaded2 describes what's happened since ("Tomas" is the alleged owner of Sheep, and one of the suspects for many users):
All day, we've been chasing the scoundrel with our stolen bitcoins through the blockchain. Around lunchtime (UK), I was chasing him across the roof of a moving train, (metaphorically). I was less than 20 minutes, or 2 blockchain confirmations, behind "Tomas".
He was desperately creating new wallet addresses and moving his 49 retirement wallets through them, but having to wait for 3 or 4 confirmations each time before moving them again. Each time I caught up, I "666"ed him - sent 0.00666 bitcoins to mess up his lovely round numbers like 4,000. Then,all of a sudden, decimal places started appearing, and fractions of bitcoins were jumping from wallet to wallet like grasshoppers on a hotplate without stopping for confirmations.
He was tumbling our stolen bitcoins a second time, and a tumbler is unbeatable....
Unless you guess which one it is, nearly all the coins belong to the person you're tracking, jump in with him, and get jumbled up through the same wallets using the same algorithm. I was hopping from foot to foot shouting "come on!" at my laptop, waiting an age for 6 blockchain confirmations to get 0.5 btc into "bitcoin fog". My half a bitcoin got sliced and diced through loads of wallets and I followed the biggest chunk with blockchain.info - along with 96,000 stolen ones!
Or, in other words:
He gathered 96,000 in one pot, then split it into about 50 smaller ones. then he saw me 666ing them all. Imagine a sports stadium with 96,000 people in it, each with $1000.
He sent them all via different routes all over the world, but the same 96,000 people then arrived at a different stadium and he went to bed.
Now there are 96,001, and I just phoned you on my mobile to tell you where the stadium is.
A major problem with tumblers is that they only work with lots of bitcoins coming and going from a lot of different sources - if a tumbler is taking in 96,000 bitcoins, those will massively outnumber all other bitcoins being tumbled and it'll be easy to spot them coming out the other end. Mix in a little of your own with all those other ones and you'll find out the wallet addresses that the tumbler uses, and it should be easy to spot large transactions splitting off from there.
The fascinating consequence of this is that you can see the stolen bitcoins on the public blockchain, and as long as there are people keeping tabs on it there's going to be no way for the thief to cash in on their haul. Considering how people rely on tumblers to maintain anonymity when buying illegal stuff online, this unusual loophole is something of a revelation.
Right now, as you're reading this, you can watch as the the thief starts trying to move their bitcoins on again - it's currently down to 92,000 bitcoins and dropping as smaller chunks begin going out. Selling those bitcoins and turning them into cash is going to be extremely difficult, as the major Bitcoin exchanges all demand proof of identity (specifically to avoid charges that they're involved in money laundering), and if they're broken down into smaller quantities to sell via a site like localbitcoins.com a paper trail will still be generated. As soon as it's possible to link one real-life bank account or identity to any bitcoins from that stash, it will be possible to work out their real-life identity.
This counts as one of the largest robberies in history at Bitcoin's current market value, ranking in the same company as real-life thefts like the $108m diamond theft at the Harry Winston store in Paris in 2008. 96,000 bitcoins also places the thief as one of the wealthiest Bitcoin millionaires on the current rich list (but bear in mind that few serious Bitcoin players keep their currency in just one wallet) - and all without having to go to the trouble of wearing balaclavas or threatening someone with a gun.
Let's watch and see what happens next.
I can't say I even really fully grasp what's happening here, but it's interesting nonetheless.

I don't entirely understand it either.
Won't the bitcoin currency devalue to nothing if a large enough (and unknown) proportion of it is hot?
Surely it's only 'backed' metaphorically by what rate people are willing to honour it at when it's used to pay for something material?

As I understand it, the value is partly down to scarcity, and the difficulty of "mining" more of them. These factors are built into the system, but there's also a trading market that sets value by what people are willing to pay for them. If anyone loses interest, it could all come crashing down around your ears.
I always meant to set up a miner, but now there's no value in it if you don't use specialised hardware, which costs a lot to set up.

Did Satoshi Nakamoto transfer 1,000 bitcoins to the Silk Road?
Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service
Nov 24, 2013 7:35 PM
print Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service Australia correspondent, IDG News Service
Two computer scientists in Israel say a bitcoin transaction now worth more than $1 million suggests a possible link between a creator of the virtual currency and Ross William Ulbricht, the 29-year-old accused of running the Silk Road underground online marketplace.
The 1,000-bitcoin transfer was found during an analysis of the movement of the Silk Road's bitcoins, according to a forthcoming research paper written by Adi Shamir and Dorit Ron of the Weizmann Institute of Science.
The finding suggests a partnership or investment in the Silk Road on the part of someone involved very early on in Bitcoin "but this is pure speculation," the researchers wrote.
The amount was transferred on March 20 from an account established just a week after the bitcoin network launched in January 2009. Early bitcoin accounts are believed to be controlled by Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym for the person or group of people who created Bitcoin.
The receiving account has been linked to "DPR," short for "Dread Pirate Roberts," the operator of the Silk Road who authorities alleged is Ulbricht. The bitcoins were worth about $60,000 at the time, but the price of bitcoin has since surged.
"The short path we found suggests (but does not prove) the existence of a surprising link between the two mysterious figures of the Bitcoin community, Satoshi Nakamoto and DPR," they wrote.
Nakamoto's real identity has never been uncovered despite attempts to figure out who has the cryptography and mathematical skills to create such a system. He stopped writing posts on a bitcoin forum in 2010.
As many as 20,000 of the first groupings of transactions, known as "blocks" in bitcoin's public ledger, are believed to have been performed by computers controlled by Nakamoto, according to the paper. He may have accumulated up to 1 million bitcoins worth close to $1 billion today.
The bulk of the research paper focuses on the movement of the Silk Road's bitcoin commissions. Before it was shut down in October, the site collected as many as 633,000 bitcoins from its commissions, which ranged from 1.5 to 10 percent of the value a product sold on the Silk Road.
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation seized 144,336 bitcoins from a laptop after Ulbricht's arrest on Oct. 1 in a San Francisco public library. Those bitcoins, worth around $28 million, were transferred in 324-bitcoin chunks—which the researchers noted spells out "FBI" on a telephone number pad—to an account the agency controlled.
But the amount the FBI seized is just 22 percent of the 633,000 bitcoins the Silk Road is believed to have taken in, they wrote.
Up to a third of the commissions were moved to new bitcoin wallets prior to Ulbricht's arrest. As to the whereabouts of the rest of the bitcoins, it seems likely that DPR "was simply using a different computer during these periods, which the FBI had not found or was unable to penetrate. "
Ulbricht, denied bail last week, is in pre-trial confinement in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. He is facing charges in federal courts in New York and Maryland, including murder-for-hire, narcotics trafficking and computer hacking.
Prosecutors allege they linked Ulbricht to the Silk Road after tracing a few forum posts promoting the Silk Road, one of which contained an email address: "firstname.lastname@example.com."

Bitcoin is just another fiat currency, invented to create an alternative money market to currently-existing currencies.
Essentially, thanks to the way it is created (derived from some complex cryptographic formula), it is mathematically limited to a maximum of 21 million Bitcoins.
The way it derives value despite not being backed by something else that is perceived to have value (i.e. gold, silver) is through the 'mining' process - powerful computers do massive number-crunching exercises to generate unique cryptographic IDs for each Bitcoin. This process costs money and takes time.
That 'computer time' is perceived to have a value, so each Bitcoin has that value.
It's a similar concept to how gold is valued. In and of itself, gold does have a real-world value - it is used in industrial processes, electronics and jewellery. However, gold derives
of its value from the fact that it is difficult and expensive to mine, refine and distribute.
That process is what adds value.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, has no tangible presence or use outside of the world of financial transactions. It is completely volatile and unpredictable.
I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.
I would much prefer to invest in something that can be broken down into smaller units, that won't deteriorate physically/notionally, etc. Gold and silver are pretty good for this.

Which is why the price of gold crashes whenever someone finds another source of it. Well, not really, it's actually expensive because it's scarce. It's actually less valuable these days since everyone shifted their currencies off the gold standard, and sold off all their gold stocks, flooding the market.

Unlike rare metals... Ask Kodak how much their silver reserves are worth these days.

Except when they aren't. After all, silver tarnishes. Each time you polish the candlesticks, you're throwing away trace amounts of the actual silver.
And gold holds its value until someone dumps a heap of it on the market. Or something else happens. Looks like in inflation adjusted US$s, gold is just about back up to where it was in 1979. Only one chart I saw showed it was heading down again.
I'm not trying to defend Bitcoin, it's just that the idea that everything is better when the economy is based on something tangible, like gold, is outdated and wrong. There are a lot of reasons not to trust Bitcoin, but not being based on gold is not one of them.

Gold and silver aren't as scarce as you might think - there's a whole load of it in the sea. It's just that collecting it and refining it would make it really expensive, so people prefer to find easy deposits in the ground.
It's true that gold and silver do devalue when new stocks are found, but they won't ever completely lose
a value
. Whereas Bitcoin might.
What would you suggest as a possible reliable alternative to gold, silver or Bitcoin?
I thought - bottles of old malt whisky, perhaps...

Texas man has a real kickin' collection
TYLER, Texas (AP)--The distinctive smells of leather and cologne greet you as you enter the closet of D.M. Edwards.
Rows and rows of boots, in immaculate, perfect order, not a speck of dirt on them, line the shelves.
There are exotic boots made from the mountainous, craggy skin of an alligator, scaly boots made from snake skin, electric blue boots, deep green boots and a beautifully tooled pair of "Tyler" boots, complete with the words "Lone" and "Star" emblazoned on them.
Even with 126 pairs, Edwards, a Tyler businessman and self-proclaimed collector, is still searching for more.
"The goal over the last 30 years has been to have at least one pair of boots of every exotic skin that's made," he said. "And I keep looking for exotic skinned boots that I don't have in my collection."
Glancing down the rows of boots on Mr. Edwards' shelves can be deceiving because many of the plainest-looking pairs are the rarest boots of all.
"Some of the ones that I have that are the most difficult to find are the boots made from Texas turkey skin, Texas deer skin, African tree-toads, African wildebeest, Australian kangaroo, rhinoceros and hippopotamus."
Edwards smiled to himself as he told a story about a young girl who visited his boot collection three or four years ago.
"When we finished the tour, she said, 'Mr. Edwards, I bet animals run when they see you coming,'" he said, laughing.
Boots aren't the only thing Edwards collects, and as a tour through his closet progresses, there are color-coordinated western jackets hanging neatly, western ties organized on tie racks and exquisitely crafted western belts and buckles.
"Being a native Texan, I've always enjoyed the great things about our Texas heritage, whether they are from the frontier days or the Old South days or the days of the Wild West," he said.
His collection began with a pair of yellow calfskin boots belonging to his grandfather.
"They are too small for me to wear, but they have a lot of sentimental value," he said. "My family has always had ranches in Texas and, when dealing with horses and cattle, boots are always the natural thing to wear."
This particular pair was worn by his grandfather in the Gladewater Rodeo in the 1950s.
"My grandfather and my dad had a matching pair of Palomino horses and they would wear their yellow boots when they rode in parades," he said. "The boots were made back in the 1940s, and they are a good example of type of design you saw back then, yellow with white trim and green stitching."
When Edwards rattled off a list of his favorite boot makers, comfort, not aesthetics, was the most important stipulation.
"My favorite makers are Larry Mahan, a former champion all-around cowboy, who makes some of the most comfortable boots, Lucchese boots, they have a wonderful fit, and Tony Lama," he said. "I also like some of the other long-time brands like Justin. Some of the most interesting and unique custom boots are by Rocketbuster and Rocky Carroll in Houston."
Edwards owns several pairs of Rocketbuster boots, including boots resembling the ones Gene Autry, John Wayne and Roy Rogers owned.
Most people would hesitate to wear such rare and unique creations, but Edwards wears them in a yearly rotation.
"I get to each one about three times a year," he said. "There are some boots like the electric eel skin boots that you only wear country-western dancing on a Saturday night. You have to pick the appropriate skin for the occasion."
And for someone who is looking to buy their first pair of boots, Edwards offered sound advice.
"Go to any quality boot store and find a pair of French calfskin or sharkskin if you want something durable to start your collection," he said. "We're blessed in this part of the Southwestern United States to have a lot of excellent custom boot makers that supply all of the United States with quality boots," he said. "We really live in the heart of an area that knows how to produce the quality boots that Texans like to wear."
When asked if he had to pick only one pair of boots to keep, Edwards shook his head.
"I can't pick just one pair," he said, grinning widely. "That's like asking a person to pick their favorite child."

It doesn't get as much attention as it should, but the biggest federal bailout recipient in recent years wasn't a car company or a bank or any other private-sector institution.
It was government-run mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
So far, American taxpayers have shelled out more than $150 billion to rescue Fannie and Freddie. But the real spending on the Fannie and Freddie bailout has only just begun.
It is expected that the institutions will get up to $200 billion more from taxpayers over the next two or three years -- bringing their total bailout potentially to $350 billion!
That isn't to say that other bailouts, such as those of car manufacturers or banks, were wise or even constitutional. They weren't. Government bailouts keep badly performing companies from facing the consequences of their actions, instead putting the burden of their failure on taxpayers who had no say in how the companies were run. That only encourages more bad performance.
But it is interesting nonetheless that the largest recipients of government bailouts were not private companies but government entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
And it is appalling that Fannie and Freddie now have been caught engaging in apparently frivolous spending at a convention.
The inspector general of the Federal Housing Finance Agency reviewed the mortgage giants' spending -- totaling $600,000 -- at an October banking convention at a pricey hotel in Chicago. About 90 Fannie and Freddie employees attended.
The watchdog determined that half of the spending was "of questionable value." It included things such as expensive business meals and so-called platinum- or gold-level "sponsorships."
Do you feel encouraged -- or troubled -- about the fact that government entities that already have received so many of your tax dollars now are squandering money on expensive conferences and the like?
Doesn't that suggest that the bailouts didn't lead the mortgage giants to alter their failed practices and behavior?
Freddie and Fannie are only one piece of the pie.
The corruption in the financial sector, public and private, extends from our big banks to the Federal Reserve system to the rating agencies to insurance companies to Freddie and Fannie and even to GE and GM who bought into the siren song of lending over production of their primary products.
Unless and until our financial system is reformed, regulated and the to-big-to-fail institutions are right-sized, we will remain mired in a hopeless downslide.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Many Americans became rather credit shy after the Great Recession, believing that using credit cards would only lead to more debt and eventual financial ruin.
While there is certainly an argument to be made about limiting your credit options, Ken Lin, CEO of CreditKarma.com, points out that there are advantages to having more than one credit card in your payment arsenal.
"Many financially responsible people can see the benefits to having several cards," Lin says. He explains that a higher number of credit card accounts can actually lead to a higher credit score, provided that they're used responsibly.
But it's more than just your score that stands to gain. Here are some other ways that having multiple credit cards can make your life easier.
Financial peace of mind. Lin explains that having a second card stored away somewhere can offer a consumer peace of mind should his or her wallet get stolen or credit card account get hacked, since it would mean an alternative payment option at his or her disposal while waiting for a compromised card to be replaced by the issuer.
"Sometimes, things go wrong," Lin says. "Having a backup credit card stored safely at home gives you crucial flexibility."
Security while traveling. A second credit card can come in handy when traveling, since many credit card companies make a habit of flagging a card for fraud when any unusual purchases, such as those happening overseas or simply far from home, show up unexpectedly. Even if you told your bank beforehand that you would be traveling, it's possible that overseas purchases will get flagged anyway.

PDL's relationship with Roche dates back to 1989, when it licensed to Roche worldwide rights for Zenapax, the first humanized
monoclonal antibody approved by the FDA for the treatment of acute kidney transplant rejection. Over the years, PDL continued
to conduct investigator-sponsored trials to test Zenapax's potential in autoimmune diseases and asthma applications. In 2003,
PDL paid $80 million to Roche to buy back the rights to Zenapax, except for use in kidney transplant patients. Following the
announcement of positive Phase 2 data in asthma, PDL approached Roche to negotiate a collaborative deal for Zenapax use in
asthma and other respiratory disorders. Key features in the asthma collaboration include equal representation and decision-making
on development and commercialization decisions, a 50–50 cost-profit split, and a copromotion arrangement in the US. Prior
to agreeing to the deal with Roche, PDL committed substantial resources to the diligence process, with a focus on: the potential
product market share in asthma; the need to track sales in multiple indications, including transplant, asthma, and multiple
sclerosis; development costs and risks, including the costs of developing a new high yield antibody manufacturing process;
estimated approval and launch dates; and post-launch marketing and promotion costs.
In today's deal environment, biotech companies find that it is possible to obtain development funding from a larger partner
without ceding control. An illustration of this is the 2005 deal between Theravance Inc. (South San Francisco, CA)/Astellas
Pharma (Tokyo, Japan). Astellas agreed to pay $65 million upfront and another $136 million in milestone payments based on clinical filings
and approvals for the Theravance Phase 3 antibiotic Telavancin. Theravance successfully retained significant control over
the clinical development and launch of this antibiotic.
Whether collaboration will be successful depends a great deal on the often unpredictable component of human capital. Therefore,
it is important to consider the following before entering into a long-term collaboration:
Management buy-in—Make sure that all major department heads are on board and have input into the deal parameters, e.g. finance, clinical, regulatory,
and marketing divisions.
Opportunity costs—Everyone—senior management, the board of directors, the project managers—should understand that company capital and resources
will be focused on the partnership and that these resources may not be available for other projects.
Alignment of interests—Both parties must be willing to negotiate and execute a deal based on long-term 50/50 economics. It is important to confirm
with your partner that there is a shared operating philosophy going forward.
Service levels and partnering support—Pharma companies typically have several products and therapeutic areas in their portfolio. Key questions here include: What
is the pharma company's experience in the relevant therapeutic area? Will the pharma company champion the therapeutic and
market potential of the product? Will the pharma partner give the product the appropriate level of attention and resources
it will require?

When you go to the hospital you expect to get better, but far too often that's not what happens. Every year, inadequate hospital care contributes to the deaths of thousands of patients.
A Consumer Reports investigation finds some hospitals pose more risk than others, although bad things can happen at even the best hospitals.
Patrick Roth suffered several complications following surgery on his back, including a potentially deadly bacterial infection.
Roth says, "I have memory of being in the hospital bed and in such pain that I was screaming not to die."
Many surgical-site infections like the one Patrick Roth had can be prevented, according to Consumer Reports. Yet about one in 20 hospitalized patients develops an infection-and that's only one concern with hospital care.
A 2010 government report finds mistakes and other medical harm contribute to an estimated 15,000 deaths each month. And that's just among Medicare patients.
Dr. John Santa of Consumer Reports says, "And this figure is conservative. Many of the medical mistakes that occur in hospitals are not reported, so we only know about a fraction of the errors that occur."
How safe is your hospital? Consumer Reports analyzed data from more than a thousand hospitals in 44 states and gave each hospital a safety rating in several categories, including:
-Avoiding infections
-Readmissions after discharge
-Clear Communication about drugs and discharge, and
-The overuse of Cat scans
The ratings show that even the best hospitals have room for improvement.
Dr. Santa says, "No hospital got a top score for preventing patients from being readmitted, or for communicating with patients about discharge instructions and new medications."
Patrick Roth expected a better outcome from his hospital stay.
Roth says, "Am I better than I was in the past? No, I'm worse now than I was."
Consumer Reports says hospitals are not required to make all their safety data available and many don't, so at this point its ratings cover only about one-fifth of American hospitals.
The advocacy arm of Consumer Reports has called for a nationwide system to track and report medical errors to the public.

- Very helpful Review by Jimendo
I'm pretty serious about learning how to sharpen my handsaws.. Short of being in the same room with Ron I haven't found anything as useful. The camera work in this video does a good job showing what Ron is doing. While I need more practice I am getting the hang of it. Well worth the money and time spent.
(Posted on 5/9/2014)
- Sharpen Your Handsaws Review by Joe Alpeza
Thank you, Ron!After watching the video a time or two I was able to adjust the set of two saws which always seemed to veer off to the right of any line I was trying to cut. I also sharpened and set a Disston saw that I bought at a yard sale for $2. Without the video and instruction I could not have done that. I recommend this video to anyone intersted in sharpening their saws.

Politics in Minnesota caught some national attention yesterday when they reported that the Minnesota Supreme Court would rule on Norm Coleman's recount appeal Thursday. Too bad their sources were wrong.
Politics in Minnesota reported late yesterday that the Minnesota Supreme Court will likely rule on Norm Coleman's appeal for the state's U.S. Senate seat by the end of the business day.
If a juvenile is convicted of a violent crime, that can be enough to take away their Second Amendment right to possess a firearm as an adult, according to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
Republicans have now made it clear they will do whatever it takes to support Norm Coleman's continued fight until he has exhausted all of his options.
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruling today says that people busted with drunk driving can challenge the breathalyzer result in court.
In what appears to be Norm Coleman's first interview published since the three-judge panel's decision last night, the former senator spoke to Minnesota Public Radio about the panel's opinion and his upcoming appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Since when is Pawlenty smarter than Supreme Court justices?
Sen. Amy Klobuchar appeared on MSNBC Wednesday to talk about how lonely and tough it is being the only Minnesota senator in Washington, D.C.
The recent order doesn't look good for Coleman's chances, but his team has already announced they will appeal the final decision and potentially take the appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if needed.
The three-judge panel hasn't even provided a final decision, but Norm Coleman's team is already starting their PR stunt to build up support for their appeal they haven't even filed.
When asked if he thinks Coleman will lose the election trial, his lawyer says he expects they will be appealing. And it looks like this case could be heading to the Minnesota Supreme Court.

November 28, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Police in Las Vegas say they've nabbed two people on felony charges in a series of "smart phone" grab-and-run thefts comparable to cases that in other cities have been dubbed "Apple picking."
Police Officer Bill Cassell said Thursday that two detectives investigating a report of a stolen cell phone turned up evidence that two groups of thieves were preying on people who are distracted or inattentive while using devices in public.
In some cases, police say victims are talking or texting when a thief grabs the device and runs to a waiting vehicle.
Thefts of Apple devices including iPhones and iPads in some cities have been dubbed "Apple picking."
Cassell says authorities worry that a confrontation in places like the Las Vegas Strip could leave a victim or bystanders injured.

I use Siri, but not for anything practical. I use it simply for amusement.
If you're like me, then you may have may noticed something quite amusing. When you ask Siri, "What is the best phone ever?" it responds with "Nokia's Lumia 900."
However, since Apple picked up on this quirk, it seems that they have changed Siri. Now when you ask it the same question, it responds "Wait… There are other phones?"
Since that change, Nokia have accused Apple of being biased. This has started a bit of debate about whether Apple should be allowed to just change it like that.
In my opinion, it's their software so they can do what they want. But what do you think? Leave your opinions in the comments…

It looks as if the current generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will stay on for a while longer. (Note: We are not complaining.) Images clipped from a Japanese brochure show a newly facelifted version of the NC platform, designated the NC3.
The roadster wears an all-new front fascia, complete with a five-point grille opening and a pair of redesigned fog lamp housings to to either side. The fascia looks more than a bit like the one found on the Mazda Spyder Concept we all know and love, and softens the current car's always-happy-to-see-you grin.
Word has it the 2013 MX-5 Miata will come with a new pedestrian-safe hood designed to pop up in the event of a collision. Step indoors, and the interior boasts new blacked-out gauges, as well as a new dash cover. It's unclear whether there are any mechanical changes on hand, though we do know the NC3 will bow with a new range of paint color and wheel options.

Adele Make You Feel My Love Lyrics
Last updated: 12/18/2013 05:05:32 AM
When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
My mind is up set | Reviewer: King Kevin | 12/18/13
This song is soul tourching.Those who havn't been in love before would never understand,but if you have then you will accept with me that Adele says the things we hadly find words to express them. thank you Adele for this song
Beautiful song | Reviewer: Lakrol | 7/18/13
This is Bob Dylan's song from 1997 TIME OUT OF MIND. All I hear from Adele is idiot wind. So many "wannabe artists", without an original thought, have covered his songs. But no one but the Master can truly do God's work. "Lady killers load dice on me behind my back while imitators steal me blind" BD

After they split in 2008, Pink invited Hart to share screen time in the music video for her post-breakup anthem, "So What," with lyrics like, "I'm alright/I'm just fine/And you're a tool." "When I sing, 'He's a tool,' now that's my favorite line," she told Ellen DeGeneres in May 2009 of what it's like to perform the song with Hart in the audience after they reunited. "Hi, Honey, that's you."
