This unique memoir is about experiencing cancer, but it is also about so much more. Michael Murphy is an admired broadcaster, writer and psychoanalyst, and this is a pathbreaking book which has a very special relevance for all whose lives have been touched by cancer, but which also appeals to anyone who loves to read a moving story exceptionally well told.
As Mary Robinson writes in her Foreword: His book is unflinchingly honest, and he breaks down the taboo around men speaking the unspeakable...
What I have realised is that in writing about all aspects of the cancer theme - traumatic assault, mortality, endurance - Michael has created a personal myth to live by. His memoir graphically treats of themes which take enormous risks of courage to put into words, but through the exceptional quality of his writing, they have become a pillar of light which has enabled him to continue on in the warmth of its lustre, despite his loss and the limits that have now been reached.

Tulsa, Okla., mulls code change to require storm shelters in new schools
State and city officials are pushing for increased bonding capacity to pay for the storm shelters.
City councilors in Tulsa, Okla., are considering a proposed change to the city's building code that would require storm shelters in new school construction.
Building storm shelters in schools has become a major statewide issue after the May 20, 2013 tornado that killed seven children in a Moore, Okla., elementary school.
From the Associated Press: One group is pushing for a $500 million bond issue to pay the shelters, while Gov. Mary Fallin is backing a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow every school district to pursue a one-time increase in bonding capacity to fund upgrades like storm shelters.

Nike recently created a collaboration with Givenchy creative director and designer Ricardo Tisci. RT being raised in Italy once had hoop dreams and has been a big fan of the white Air Force One for the past 15 years. So it was a no brainer that RT used Bruce Kilgores AF1 as a canvas to create on when Nike reached out to collab. The Air Force one originally released in 1982 has not only become the best selling shoe of all time, but it's also shoe that has been used to create a cultural as well as fashion statement.
Ricardo remixed two of the shoes: the AF1 Low & AF1 Mid, and created something completely new with the AF1 Hi & the womens AF1 Boot. Both silhouettes have also been made in white and matching black colorways. Originally released in mid March the shoes were only sold in a handful boutiques in some of the worlds fashion capitals: NYC, London, Milan, Paris, Tokyo, etc. So many were unable to catch a pair. That is until last week when the shoes were released on Nike.com on April 11th.
See more pictures below. The collaboration is truly fresh! Taking the old and familiar and remixing it just enough with strong colors and premium materials. Along with that comes with a premium price, so be prepared to break bread as the Air Force One Low starts at $230 and goes up from there.
The white collection is out now, with the black color-ways gearing up for a May release.

Published June 01, 2012
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has campaigned relentlessly against obesity, outlawing transfats in restaurants and forcing chain restaurants to add calorie counts to menus. His latest proposal would ban sugary drinks over 450 grams in the city's restaurants, movie theaters and other places where large drinks are sold. Some nutritionists say it's a move in the right direction, but critics say the mayor is going too far. VOA's Laurel Bowman has more.

I love this and I'm on my second kit. I use it approx. 1-2x a month, and it makes my skin clear and soft. Kinda expensive at roughly $30 but if you use it like I do it lasts. I found it's easier to rinse off in the shower than at the sink with a cloth. I love the idea of the rubbing on of the crystals and then the warming foaming serum. Makes me feel like I'm really doing something! The shower spray just makes it easier to rinse thoroughly without irritation. I use a refreshing facial spritzer afterward and try not to put anything else on my face for the rest of the day or night (depending when I use it) to let my skin breathe totally. Anyway, I love this kit and will continue to purchase as long as they make it!

:( Sadly, this didn't do ANYTHING for me.
I've been using it for a month+, and even immediately after one use, my skin is *kinda* softer, and that's it. Period. That's where all benefits of this product end. It may be a half decent exfoliator, but it doesn't come close to real 'microdermabrasion' in terms of how much skin looks and feels immediately afterwards, as well as how it benefits my skin in the long term.
My skin doesn't look healthier, or like its turning over cells better (which would look like, in my opinion, just...fresher? Dry patches/small blemishes would go away quicker?). It's not even softer on a daily basis in any way! My nose is flaky/dry the morning after, and that's including serious moisturization that I use after this product.
I read all reviews and kept leaning towards the good ones since I love Olay products. But really, it's pricey and there are SO many better exfoliators out there (I love Mary Kay, and even L'oreal's made my skin glowy and translucent after one use!). So it's a high 2 on the ratings scale--it's not BAD, but for me it wasn't worth any more than the 5+ other exfoliating scrubs I have sitting in my bathroom.

With my previous skin care program this was a weekly staple to keep things going. While I do not need it now, when I was using it there was a softness and luminosity after the treatment that kept me coming back. I also noticed my moisturizer absorbed better after treatments with this. Lovely product and if I needed it I would definitely repurchase.

I use this on my hands and legs once a week. I get weekly microdermabrasions and get an Epicuren Enzyme facial once a month. This works great to soften the spots and lines on my hands and really makes my legs super soft.
This product is awesome! This is my first product of this kind but honestly, it works wonders. I love that it warms your face and love how fine the little crystals are. After you wash it off you see and feel instant results. After the first time I used it, I couldn't get over how soft and smooth my face was! I even asked my husband to feel my face and he couldn't get over it either! I've been using this product for a little over two months now, though not consistently. Though the price seems a little steep, it'll last you a long time. Definitely a product worth trying out.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I loooove this kit. I moved to Michigan from Florida a few years ago, and my skin completely freaked out during the winter, flaking and peeling like crazy. I tried everything to get it back to being smooth, but nothing worked. I've always had *extremely* dry skin, but it was horrific when I first moved here.
This kit, combined with a very gentle cleanser and heavy moisturizers, was the only thing that would keep my skin from flaking all over the place. Whenever I started to see my skin looking a little rough, I used the kit and voila!
The price is a bit high, but the kit really does last forever. I only have to buy it maybe 2-3 times a year, and I use it constantly. My only other complaint is that the peel bottle can be a bit difficult to squeeze the product out of. I have dexterity problems so it's probably not an issue for others, but I really wish it was available in a pump bottle. I also run out of peel serum way before I run out of the microderm scrub, so I wish the bottle was a bit larger as well.
Still, I highly recommend!

More reviews by snugglebunny72
A bit pricey, ok a lot pricey, however it lasts forever, even using it twice a week. So maybe not to pricey in the end. I came across this on a youtube video, did some research on it, then gave it a shot. Wow, love it!
I like the friuty scent of step one, step two not such a pretty scent. I love the feeling of my skin when finished. I enjoy the feeling so much that I leave it alone, I do not add anything to my face afterward, feels to silky smooth.
I have been using it for a short while now and compliments have been passed to me.
Using it is quite easy, however with fingernails it gets under them, kind of a weird feeling, think something like a tube would be better.
Thumbs up for me and yes I will buy it again.

I am in Loooove with this product! My mother-in-law swears by it, so I decided to give it a whirl. Used it for the first time a couple nights ago and I could feel an IMMEDIATE difference. Here is the breakdown:
Clear and noticeable difference in skin
Pleasant fragrance
relatively inexpensive compared to some other brands for a micro dermabrasion kit
none I can think of so far!!

I bought this at my local Zellers on sale for $25 and used it for the 1st time tonight, I love it! I was a little taken aback by the orange color of the derma crystals (I thought to myself that maybe it had gone bad and turned such a bright orange color and that was the reason why it was on sale), however after reading some reviews I realized that this is the normal color of the crystals. I followed the steps as outlined on the box and the results are great! I usually use Biore Preservation Microderm Exfoliator when I need a good exfoliation, and I really liked that product, however I have noticed that my skin feels softer after the immediate use of the Olay product. The derma crystals feel more fine than the Biore Product, but I do like the fact that the serum has lactic acid in it. I will continue on using this product and hopefully be able to update in the future!

More reviews by LateLittleSleeper
I have some post-pregnancy acne issues that are definitely hormonal, with clogged pores and out-of-control oil production which led to cystic acne, thick-skin and dullness.
After using a topical prescription to get a handle on the bacteria, I've been changing-up my products to deal with both my sensitive/thick skin and cystic acne. This has been a lifesaver!
It thins out my skin by helping me clear away the dead skin that clogs my pores and leaves me dull-toned. I use it maybe 3-4 times a week, and haven't had a problem with it being too strong for that. It helps with turnover and keeps my face fresh and my pores clear. It's also helped fade some post-acne red marks on my cheeks, which have been bothersome since most of my acne cleared.
All-together, I will probably purchase this again and again, or until someone releases a drug store product stronger and more effective.

A Sacramento area man was recently arrested and pled guilty to hacking into numerous email accounts of women the U.S. and U.K. The man gained access to the email accounts by using information found on their Facebook profiles to help determine possible email passwords. After gaining access to their email accounts he would scan their email folders for personal information and then share that information with the entire contact list in the hacked email account. The full story can be found here.

For sale Parker VS, gray in color with F nib, from 1940's. I got it recently in a very sad condition, the sac and the pressure bar were missing. Also there was a small crack in the hood, close to the nib. The nib is actually not original but 14k gold from Duofold. After buying all the necessary parts and restoring it, the pen is in a very nice condition: the crack was fixed, new pressure bar and sac were installed. The pen has a smooth F-nib, which depending on the paper, writes a normal-to-wettish line. It has a nice two-tone (yellow/white) clutch ring, and gold filled cap almost without any scratches (even the signs of wear are hardly visible), but has one small dent (see in the photo), and 2-3 more but hardly noticeable. The shipping costs (worldwide) are 5$ unregistered mail, and 20$ registered. The costs for registered mail for EU countries are lower.

Nokia Lumia 1520 (AT&T version) sold for only $49 on contract at Microsoft Store
Even an off-contract Lumia 1520 is cheaper at Microsoft Store: $549.00, instead of the $584.99 price asked by AT&T. You can check out Microsoft Store's offer at the source link at the end of this article. The only (small) downside is that you won't find the white version of the 1520 at Microsoft, but you can buy the black, yellow, and red variants.
Initially launched in November, the Nokia Lumia 1520 is the largest Windows Phone 8 device ever, as it sports a 6-inch 1080p display. That aside, the 1520 packs many high-end features, including a 20MP rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics and PureView technology. Our Nokia Lumia 1520 review includes plenty of other details about the handset.

This is a good thing about Microsoft Mobile -- the no contract price is more reasonable than Samsung or Apple. Still almost twice as much as a OnePlus One, though.
2. Furbal (Posts: 401; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
One plus one isn't available to the masses though.

Best phone, no regrets switching from note 3, remember this is my preference and windows 8.1 is sweet on mined
7. rkoforever90 (Posts: 95; Member since: 03 Dec 2011)
seriously? i thought of replacing my note 2 with 1520 but due absence of s pen like functionality . i didnt go for it maybe will get a 1520 sucessor if its good enough
8. oboboy14 (Posts: 46; Member since: 27 Mar 2014)
Agreed! Switched from original note but considering note 3. I loved Android, but wanted something new and am very happy with windows phone. Missing a few apps, but the 1520 is such an awesome phone. No regrets.
10. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3561; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
The 1520 is the best phone money can buy.. And, at $49 you'd have to be a complete idiot to not think so.... Nothing is better!
5. Liveitup (Posts: 1565; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
Yep 1520 is a great device, I'm definitely getting the 930. I sincerely hope that individuals who bash WP without truly using it takes the time to honestly use it with an open mind. They could very well be cheating themselves instead of treating themselves.
6. akki20892 (Posts: 3651; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
930 cyan...soon
9. galanoth (Posts: 339; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
I wanted a 1520 but I need real Google services support before I go to WP.
11. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3561; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
You could be unnecessarily waiting for nothing especially when MS has all, and more of the same services that ate even better in most cases... Besides, if you got a WP device and didn't start using mostly MS services then you wouldn't be having the best possible experience... Besides YouTube forget Google.. It's not needed.
12. elitewolverine (Posts: 2046; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
You pretty much already do as my google music plays in the web, I can view email etc, I mean what services do you use right now that there is not an alternative? Hangouts perhaps? Google docs? Why when you have office for free installed and linked in with skydrive.
13. Furbal (Posts: 401; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Proper Google drive is the only reason my rm938 isn't my daily driver. It is an amazing phone. My s5 is no slouch but I prefer the wp8.1 ui now. Be selling my g2 and nexus 5 shortly.
14. xq10xa (Posts: 149; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
I would wait until the next phone that has official 8.1. Don't use your 2 year agreement for the 1520. Try to buy it outright on eBay or something.
15. isprobi (Posts: 229; Member since: 30 May 2011)
I thought 1520 had WP 8.1? Apparently not. I got burned once when I bought a new phone that got stuck at 7.5 then 8 came out so I wasted my money. Android phones seem to have a much better chance of getting the newer OS unless it is several years old.
16. oboboy14 (Posts: 46; Member since: 27 Mar 2014)
My 1520 is running 8.1.

How do conservatives get the broadcast media to hold this administration accountable?
I am writing in response to an article in The Times on Sunday, "Feds' immigration program extended," regarding the Obama administration extending the federal 287(g) immigration program. Since the article focused on the opinions and misrepresentations of a local attorney and illegal immigrant advocate, I believe it is important to set the record straight.
I want to communicate my position on expectations of our elected officials' responsibility to defend the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
I found the Jan. 7 article in The Times, "Church commemorates Epiphany" with a blessing of Lake Lanier somewhat interesting. However, in my opinion, attempts to bless Lake Lanier may be misdirected.
Jan. 22 will be the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade. In this period some 55 million babies have been aborted. Abortion is like an evil, never-receding tsunami that has swept through our land, leaving in its wake enormous dissension and heartache. Unfortunately, in the next four years we will see a ramped-up version of this holocaust.
The senseless, insane killing of 20 innocent children and six adults in Newtown, Conn., is beyond our understanding. It violates every ethical and moral standard that we have held dear. Our hearts and sympathies go out to the victims families and the residents of Newtown.
A terrible and senseless act was committed recently in Connecticut and many young lives were lost as a result. The "knee-jerk" reaction has been that we need to have more gun laws or more strict gun laws. That reaction is completely wrong.
After reading the article in Wednesday's Times, "$1M donations wanted for Obama inauguration," I am appalled and so angry. With our country in tremendous debt, Americans hungry and some homeless and Social Security being threatened, how dare President Barack Obama ask for $1 million to have parties? Why spend all this money on some parties?
Vice President Joe Biden promises gun laws to change. Whether your for it or against it, you can be sure of two things.
Thank you, city of Gainesville. On the evening of Jan. 5, I received a home security call. I got home with two city police cars and a fire truck from Station 1. The police came to check on the motion alarm in my house, and when walking outside my home, they smelled gas.
On behalf of the entire Gainesville City Schools family, we thank the Gainesville and Hall County community for the remarkable support we received during our successful quest for the state Class AAAAA football championship. We congratulate Coach Bruce Miller, his coaching staff and the team on the hard work and determination that resulted in our bringing home the championship to Gainesville.
At the December meeting of the Hall County Board of Commissioners, three commissioners demonstrated their willingness to continue to strategize behind the scenes and vote as an alliance rather than on the merit of a proposal.
Gun safety can be an issue for people who are against guns. They don't own one, and that's fine, but the media shouldn't scare them into never owning one.
A letter to The Times on Dec. 27 asked the question: How could two people produce today's population of more than 7 billion people in 9,000 or so years? Simple conservative arithmetic reveals the answer.
Thank you for clarifying the information about the new motor vehicle title fee. However, one fact about the fee has been swept under the political rug ever since it was ramrodded through the legislature with no apparent thought about how it would affect every resident: The annual ad valorem tax continues without relief for anyone who can't buy a car, whether new or used, beginning in 2013.
The holiday season brings out the best in many, and I have seen a multitude of blessings come from the season of giving we have just completed with The Medical Center Foundation's Healthy Journey Campaign.
With the holiday season, especially Christmas, the news fills with stories about threats to our most sacred religious values, Christmas and prayer in school. Two recent letters published in The Times touch on these subjects.
Has anyone noticed that record-breaking temperatures are taking place all over the country, including Georgia? New York recently was under a blanket of snow, as much as 9 feet in places. Schools and businesses were closed and even the Buffalo Bills football game was moved in only the third week in November.
It's Christmas. It's the end of the year. That time of year where everyone is enjoying the holiday festivities and winding down from their busy lives. It's a time for joy, for peace, for happiness, for forgiveness and for kindness.
Well, it's almost Christmas again and it's supposed to be a happy time of year. It's meant to be a time to focus on the one it's really all about, our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Life in a small town is great for a while. Many of us grow up in the comfort of a small town where we all gather on Friday nights to cheer on the local football team and go to church on Sunday mornings.
In spite of rain and clouds on a recent Saturday, our city of Lula, as well as other towns in the area, was busy preparing annual Christmas celebration festivities on Dec. 6. Our mayor and council had voted to purchase new (and much needed) Christmas lights and decorations for the town.
OK, this is crazy. It's Christmas shopping time and no one cares who they run over with their carts! My mother is 95 years old and when a female heard the words, "I can take someone over here," this person was like a race horse and bumped my mother's cart. But at least she got to be first in line!
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to offer condolences to the family, colleagues and many friends of Attorney Joe B. Sartain Jr. of Gainesville on his recent passing.
On Wednesday, I read about the humanist group suing Hall County Schools over prayers. The complainants were listed as Jane Doe, Jane Roe and Jane Coe due to the fact identification posed a risk.
Wednesday, I read in the paper that this group called the humanists have filed a lawsuit against the Hall County School District for promoting prayer and Christianity.
I tend to agree with the humanist group to remove prayer in school. Likewise, then schools will be compelled to remove all the Five Pillars of Islam in Common Core.
This time of year we begin hearing about the "War on Christmas," as the nonreligious seek to enforce the constitutional separation between church and state. Others talk about a "War on Thanksgiving" as early shopping begins to infringe on family time and Thanksgiving time. But there's another war far more displeasing to God, at least according to Jesus.
Many thanks should be extended to all the local restaurants who provided free dinners to veterans on Veterans Day. Such a positive, supportive attitude only serves to strengthen the community and the country. A week later, I was impressed to see a restaurant in Buford extend the honor by providing literally hundreds of free dinners to local veterans.

.- Despite the difficult political and economic situation in Cuba, the Catholic Church in the Caribbean country shows "quite positive tendencies," said Bishop Emilio Aranguren Echeverria of the Diocese of Cienfuegos.
"More and more children are being baptized, the sacrament of anointing of the sick is being increasingly administered and funeral masses are celebrated more frequently," said the secretary general of the Cuban Episcopal Conference.
There is also an ever-growing interest in vocations among youth, the prelate explained during his most recent visit to the German head office of the international charity, Aid to the Church in Need. "For this reason, the biggest challenge for the Church is comprehensive formation of priests, religious and laity," he added.
The bishop also pointed to the "growing poverty" in the island nation. According to the bishop, only 10 percent of the population are able to "make a good living," 40 percent can "pull through," 30 percent are needy and 20 percent live in extreme poverty.

Never did receive any emails or updated tracking number.
No luck so far. Oh email@example.com, won't you please heed my call?
A month and nothing, they tell me that they had a run on my size, and are waiting to get more in.... this is getting bad though.
w00t is one of my faves, but this (even in the holiday season) is tough to understand.
Mine just showed up in a Fedex Express envelope.
Mine has finally arrived. Things happen, but I will be hesitant to reorder from Woot until they can improve their communication. Delays I get, but total silence is not cool.
blindbutcher - I understand you are frustrated, but do not let 1 experience lower your view of Woot.
Woot had a minor glitch in keeping us in the loop. Had they posted themselves that they had run out of the red shirts things would have been better. This detail was posted by someone else who had emailed service looking for information. Without the blue header I am guessing several of us skipped over that detail being posted.
I was frustrated when I got a tracking link that was invalid, so I contacted service. I made a point of stating I was not the only one with a bad tracking and they might want to hit the forums and update everyone. Lo and behold they came in, saw several unhappy posts and did their best to make it right.
While we would like them to be able to track all discussions on all of the boards, its not humanly possible. Sometimes instead of a post we need to send an email.
Woot expedited shipping for those of us who had to wait. They made refunds to some who had paid for expedited shipping in the first place. Woot made good what could have been a horrible experience. They have apologized, got the shirts out (at no small cost to them), and fallen on their sword.
Behind the scenes I am willing to bet the next time there is a problem with the shirts getting to the printer, they will be posting ASAP if the delay is longer than expected.
Glitches sometimes happen, it is the honesty of accepting the blame and making it right that makes many of us loyal Wooters.
I am sure if you look over woot, shirt.woot, sellout.woot, wine.woot, kids.woot, deals.woot (did I miss one or 10 here?) you will find Woot wants happy customers. They never promise us things on velvet pillows with unicorn hair fringe, and for not offering the "typical" customer service they do their best to make things work out right for the customer.
So in the holiday spirit find a little forgiveness for Woot. Give them another chance to show you how Woot works.
I don't work for Woot, I'm just another customer. I'm not the biggest Wooter, but in the handful of items I've bought across the Woot sites this is the first glitch like this I've hit. This is the exception not the rule. I hope you have many successful woots! ahead of you.

I concur with cubbiemi's post above. This was my 18th shirt from Woot, and was the first time I've had anything less than an ideal experience. I ordered my 19th a week after this shirt, and everything went smoothly. So don't judge shirt.woot on this one incident, as it is not the norm.

I hear what you're saying. But keep in mind that this isn't a public service we're talking about, it's a business. As you both stated (as did I for that matter), things happen. I don't fault them for having issues, we all have those! Still, if something goes wrong, there should be a process in place to handle the problem. All I'm saying is, it would be nice if Woot had a way to contact all customers with any pertinent issues regarding substantial delays, or other such issues. That's not unreasonable and it also goes a long way towards showing your customers that the business you run is sound.
I am not over and out here with Woot, but I think my concerns are valid, and I imagine I am not the only one who has them. Ya know?
I think part of the problem was not enough people emailed service when they thought there might be a problem.
I think several of us just assumed that SmartPost was being, well, SmartPost again, and the holidays were slowing things down. We grumbled on the forums but that was the end of it.
We have to remember when things are looking wonky, drop a nice email to service asking whats happening. Its in the instructions we get after every order. If in x days there hasn't been a change, email service.
hmmm...so some people have been lucky enough to have 18 shirts ordered and have 1 bad experience.
I guess it's good I got my bad experience out of the way on my very first order -- incorrect shirt shipped. :p Whatasamatta you (packer), need more caffeine? :p Displeased....good thing this wasn't a gift for anyone else.
Whats with all the shipping problems? I'd like to order it but everyone says they aren't shipping. ^^
Edit: I bought another T-Shirt on the 21st and that hasn't shipped anywhere either. Why all the problems? =x

21st of December or November?
If November, email service right away.
If December, its not running late yet unless you paid for faster than normal delivery. (I'd also check the original sale page for icons denoting you would not have it by Christmas.)
This specific shirt hit snags. Woot is trying to make it right, but posts on the forums do not accomplish much. If it has been longer than it says on the receipt page hit the button and drop a note to service.
As to everyone saying it is not shipping. I believe the original sale had 3000 shirts sold. There are not 3000 posts screaming wheres my shirt. There was a delay for some orders, Woot became aware of the problem when customers sent emails to service instead of complaining on the forums.
Woot swooped in, explained the problem, upgraded shipping speed, made refunds of expiated shipping, fended off the zombie hordes, and still had time to make sure the reindeer were fed for Santa's big day.
Several of us who were waiting, have our shirts now. People are more likely to post complaints than to post thanks or follow up messages.
There is not a huge plot being run by bunnies to steal your hard earned money with promises of fake shirts.
Glad I could clear this up.
I didn't get my shirt yet, and I just want to say, "Whatever..."
Ordered one during the wootoff, and they sent me something completely different. Maybe this design is cursed?
Awesome Shirt!!! Can't wait to get it....it better be in my mail today!
Count Toto
Well I finally ordered it during today's woot-off. I'm amazed how long this shirt has survived the reckoning.
I ordered mine on April 29th. It is supposed to be delivered May 17th. Wow.
Are the people finally too apathetic to buy this shirt? Say it ain't so!
Since it's fallen to 21 (danger zone), I guess I'll finally have to commit to it. Your works rule Boots!
Damn, reckoned. Bought one to try to keep it up, but to no avail.
SpazX wrote:Damn, reckoned. Bought one to try to keep it up, but to no avail.
I also tried to help stop its reckoning, but no luck either. Sorry, boots. It was an awesome shirt.

Thanks guys. I'm a little bummed.
Bah, I've wanted this shirt for months but didn't realize till today that it was actually still around. And by still around, I discovered that it isn't still around. I'm so depressed... Boots, I'll buy this shirt directly from you for double the price if you have any available. I want it desperately... :*-(
BootsBoots wrote:Thanks guys. I'm a little bummed.
Boots, if it makes you feel any better... I was just watching Victorious with my daughter on Nickelodeon. It is sort of this generation's Saved By The Bell. So anyway, in The Great Ping Pong Scam episode (S01E11) there is a kid wearing this shirt!
I literally exclaimed "That's on of Boot's shirts!"
Still one of my favorites of all time.
After a shirt has been reckoned it can no longer be purchased? if this is true can someone please tell me another place i can buy this shirt.
I agree with TomTom. I am looking for this shirt as well and if anyone has one they are willing to part with or know of a place I can get one it would be most appreciated.
When I saw that they're now selling every design they've ever printed, I immediately thought of this shirt. I've been waiting for it to appear in a weekly event, but now I don't have to
When will you make this into a pullover hoodie? Hint.

Autumn Color in B&W -- Trial Run with Earl Grey
My first roll with Earl Grey, I decided to go monochrome despite the lovely fall colors . . . I think I like the film quite a bit! My overall impression is that it has very nice contrast, great dynamic range, and is slightly faster than its rated ISO 100.This photo was shot on film. Taken by russheath with a Canon AE-1 loaded with Lomography Earl Grey 100 (120mm) film (available in our Online Shop) in Morrison, CO, United States. These tags describe this photo: mono, earl grey 100, 35mm, lair of the bear, black and white, family, b&w, hiking, iso 100, hike, kid, monochrome, and colorado.

Shazier may be just what Steelers need
May, 8, 2014
May 8
By Scott Brown | ESPN.com
PITTSBURGH -- The collective groans that echoed off the hills Thursday night in western Pennsylvania were a result of what the Pittsburgh Steelers' brain trust decided when a player who seemed to be a perfect fit -- and would have filled their most glaring need -- was still on the board at No. 15.
The Steelers (gasp!) passed on a physical cornerback who can cover and hit to take an inside linebacker who can run and hit.
It is way too early to tell whether the Steelers erred in bypassing Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard with the 15th overall pick and taking Ohio State linebacker Ryan Shazier.
But I like the decision because it turned out to be a bold one rather than a safe one. And the Steelers need bold rather than safe after consecutive 8-8 seasons.
"What we needed is a defensive playmaker," Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said, "and he fits the bill in that regard."
[+] Enlarge
AP Photo/Jay LaPreteThe Steelers' selection of Ohio State's Ryan Shazier took everyone by surprise -- including the hard-hitting linebacker.
He does on paper.
Shazier is ridiculously fast -- he said he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.36 seconds at Ohio State's pro day -- and the 6-1, 237-pounder has the kind of range that general manager Kevin Colbert said is needed to defend against offenses that become more spread out with each passing year.
As glowingly as Colbert and Tomlin spoke of Shazier shortly after they made him the third Ohio State player the Steelers have picked in the first round since 2006, they caught just about everyone off guard with the selection.
That includes Shazier as well as anyone who did a mock draft.
"I didn't see it coming at all," Shazier said during a teleconference with Pittsburgh reporters. "I feel like it's going to be great that I'm in Pittsburgh. I'm happy I'm here."
Steelers fans who were upset by this pick will be too if Shazier helps shore up a run defense that allowed 6.5 rushing yards per carry outside of the tackles in 2013, according to ESPN Stats & Info. And he bolsters the inside pass rush, something Colbert said he will do.
The Steelers will play Shazier at weakside inside linebacker, pairing him with Lawrence Timmons, the player they took when they last had the 15th overall pick in 2007.
They will turn a position that had been suspect into a strength if Shazier is as good as the Steelers think he will be after finishing among Ohio State's career tackles leader.
"This guy can flat-out run," Colbert said. "We're well aware of who we have on our team, but when we can add a player of quality it will override the need at any time. This kid has a unique ability to make plays. We're super excited he was there for us."
The fans might not share Colbert's view, and they surely took note that the Bengals were more than happy to take Dennard after he slipped to them at No. 24.
But it is better for the Steelers to make fans happier in October than in May, and they will do that if Shazier becomes a playmaker in the middle of Pittsburgh's defense.
"Quite frankly the young man's got no holes," Tomlin said.

According to officials involved in this exercise, this is the biggest qualified institutional placement {(QIP fund-raising by a private firm. The previous biggest private sector QIPs in India were from Adani Group (Rs.4,000 crore) and GMR (Rs 3,966 crore)}.After the QIP, the promoter shareholding in RCom will drop to 60 per cent from 67 per cent.
RCom will also raise Rs.1,300 crore by issuing warrants to its promoters. The promoters will pay 5 per cent premium to QIP offering.
Thus, RCom will raise a total of Rs.6,100 crore through the fund raising exercise.

According to officials, U.S. funds snapped up major portion of offering.

Large Adjustable Ornament Storage Box 53 53
Great product Great product, sturdy and great space to hold my ornaments. January 7, 2013
Even better then expected I looked at ads for containers to store Christmas decorations and from the description given in Improvements ad decided to buy one from there. It arrived in great shape and I am so pleased with the strong, sturdy material it is made from. I was able to store all my tree decorations in it and all my other Christmas decorations in the house. If I find I need another container for storing things I will buy it from Improvements. January 17, 2013
Where has this been all my life?!?! I've never invested in an ornament box because the slots are one size (usuall the size of a ball, This year I went for it. I did a LOT of research. We have a LOT of ornaments of all varieties. They comprise a lot of shapes and awkward sizes. I chose this box because 1) slots are adjustable and deep; 2) the box can hold a LOT - 100's if you layer more than one in a slot; 3) the trays are independant - i.e. you can lift each tray out independantly. Many boxes have several levels but you must work your way down the box because there aren't separate SIDES to each level; and 4) dividers are durable and reinforced by ribbon. To store all my ornaments in same box, i gave up each ornaments original box since they are now safe in a compartment. You don't have to do this, but it will allow you to store more. Everything seems safe. We'll see when I take out next year. January 30, 2013
Great product!! This is a great solution for storing all the Christmas decorations. Only just received it so can't tell how hard wearing it is but the outer fabric seems to be good quality. The handles on the side of the box are useful for squeezing it into the attic as well. February 12, 2013
Just what I needed I have a couple of the regular size ornament boxes and have been very pleased with them. However, I have several larger ornaments and this box is just what I needed. Very pleased with purchase! January 11, 2014
Space Saver, Protector, & Organizing Delight This very sturdy storage box has strong cardboard adjustable dividers that do not bend with shifting contents. I was able to eliminate 3 Christmas storage containers by using this one. That frees up shelf space and reduces clutter - glorious feeling of freedom for a neat freak! Strong, sturdy, well-made, easy to look upon, adjustable to one's needs - the perfect storage box. January 14, 2014
Very substantial This storage box is great quality. The box seems substantial and has a good weight to it. It will provide safe storage for many of my beautiful and precious Christmas decorations. Each individual box can be adjusted to accommodate unique sized ornaments. The handles make it easy to carry. Very satisfied with this purchase. January 17, 2014
The best boxes for your precious ornaments Bought several of these boxes to replace some older ones that I had. These are easy to assemble, are flexible, and will accommodate just about any size and shape ornaments. January 22, 2014
The best for storing ornaments This is my second purchase of these boxes. They are sturdy and the trays are easy to get in and out. I now have all my ornaments in these boxes. I have seen other boxes for ornaments but they are not up to the quality and there is always some feature missing. If someone is considering buying any of these boxes they are worth the price especially if you have ornaments that have been passed down and are old. P.S. My husband thought I was nuts buying these because of the price until they arrived I actually used them he was the one who suggested getting more for all our ornaments. January 28, 2014
Well-made Ornament Storage Box This ornament storage box is great. (I ordered two). The outer box that houses all the stackable drawers is sturdy. Each drawer is also sturdy, including the dividers. I like how you can leave some areas larger for larger ornaments. We have quite a number of large glass balls. Much better quality and than the one I bought in a bath store. I recommend placing a couple of ornaments in one compartment and wrapping the ornaments in tissue paper when you do. You can fit more decorations in the container that way. Taking the ornaments down from the attic next year won't be a hassle thanks to these storage boxes, and they freed up space in the attic as I was able to get rid of several large and cumbersome cardboard boxes that used to house our ornaments. January 30, 2014
Great Storage Container This is an excellent product to store Christmas ornaments. It is extremely durable and should last for years. The adjustable compartments allow for any size ornaments to be stored. For my wooden and plastic ornaments I was able to store multiple ones in one compartment easily. This allowed me to organize my ornaments quickly. I am very happy with my purchase. January 4, 2013
So happy I bought two! I have several (5) ornament keepers from the big box stores and this one is superior in quality and capacity. I was so happy I just ordered a second one. Might order one more for future use when it goes on sale. They are a little pricy. January 18, 2013
Satisfaction Bought several different storage containers & really like the way you can adjust the openings for larger items. January 30, 2013
Super Storage This is my third purchase of this ornament storage container. I love that it has three lift out sections with all four sides, thus NO ornaments falling off the edges. I love that you can adjust and shape each tray to meet your needs. This is well worth the money, if you have special ornaments to protect. January 31, 2014
Best ornament storage I've found I have every size of this box and love them. As an avid ornament collector, it's by far the best storage box I've found. I love the removable trays for taking items to the tree, and the ability to customize the size with the dividers. February 20, 2014
Great product Great product and price. Flexible for all size ornaments. December 19, 2012
Worth every penny and the some! So happy with finally investing in a nice piece of ornament storage. Way better than having lots of little boxes here and there. It will definitely make for an easier time both decorating the tree and then packing it away for years to come. Great for keeping your special treasures safe and organized. As they say- you get what you pay for. This is a thousand times better than the cheap storage you will find in other stores with the plastic tubs and slotted dividers- yuck! January 3, 2013
Large Adjustable Ornament Storage Box This is a top quality item and wonderful for the larger ornament balls. I have other large ornaments that do not fit in the 4 inch compartments so what I'm doing is devoting one level of the 3 to storing these odd shapes. I have 2 trees and I really like the window on the outside of the box to write which tree the enclosed ornaments go to. The ornament compartments are strong and sturdy and you can take a tray to the tree and take the ornaments directly out of the compartments and place them on the tree. All sides to the compartments are enclosed so none of your ornaments will roll off. This is just a great product and thank you Improvements for carrying it. January 11, 2013
Exactly what I was searching for I am very pleased with this storage box. It has the adjustable compartments and stores all of the special Christmas ornaments that have been collected over the years. Thanks MPROVEMENTS for a great product. I am ordering a second box to store our nativity pieces. This box will protect each piece and will be much easier to handle than the current storage box. January 12, 2013
Product was just what we were looking for With the storage capacity of two (2) of your product we were able to eliminate five (5) older storage containers. Using your boxes will make our next Christmas tree decorating quick and easy. I would recommend this product. January 15, 2013
Excellent Storage I just packed up this box and it is great. I only have a corner tree so I was able to get everything in this one box. Tree skirt and all! January 25, 2013
Love it!! I am so glad I purchased this although I thought it was a little pricey therefore the four stars on the value. I like the larger compartments as it will fit larger ornaments or multiple smaller ones. It is sturdy & the cardboard separaters don't move around as in the less expensive ones you buy @ the craft stores. I also purchased the small ornament organizer & I basically use it for all of my bulbs. January 25, 2013
very nice, sturdy, good quality I replaced a 25-year-old cardboard storage box, so this is definitely a step up! Easy to assemble, very nice appearance. I have only 2 caveats: it's a little pricey, so make sure you get it on sale and/or with discount codes. Also, the tray dividers could be better thought out from a best-use-of-space standpoint. In 1 configuration, if you want 4 x 4 compartments, you end up with a row of compartments on the end of the tray that are only 2" wide x 4" x 4". Worked fine for my collection of flat porcelain and brass ornaments, but not much else. I'd suggest more slots in the dividers to allow more configurations. January 29, 2013
WORTH THE MONEY!! DO NOT...waist your money on the CHEAPER storage boxes...This IS the best ornament storage box to date....I've tried just about everything out there... AND.... THIS IS THE BEST It's well worth the money!!! January 29, 2013
Excellent Christmas Storage I was able to fit all my large and rectangled shaped ornaments into this box. Very easy to assemble and very impressed with quality. January 30, 2013
Awesome for ornaments I am so happy with this ornament storage box! All my bigger ornaments fit into this box so next Christmas everything will be in here and convenient. I also ordered the smaller ornament box for a second tree we have---again everything was neatly tucked away! Instead of having multiple boxes, we now have one box for each tree! It is sturdy, and I think it will last for years. It was also very easy to assemble. Wish I would've ordered this a long time ago. Next year I think I wll add to the collection of Christmas storage containers. February 6, 2013
Xmas storage The storage bag is a flexable box that can be configured into whatever storage one would need to store orrniments and xmas decorations in one plase .Different slots keep orniments from breaking and can be used to house similar ones .Unit is sturdy when assembled and well made .Purchased another after seeing quality and usefullness February 7, 2013
Exactly what I needed! This is the perfect storage container for the larger ornaments, but with the ability to arrange the partitions in many configurations, it will hold the smaller ones as well. It is handsome, sturdy, and looks like it will stand up to years of use. Thanks! February 9, 2013
Keep it together I have always kept my ornaments in plastic boxes but none have been large enough to hold everything for one tree so I use 4 or 5 and have to make room to keep them together for the next year. I have five 7' trees so this gets very difficult. With this box, I can keep most of my large trees in 1 single box. My largest with the most ornaments does take 2 boxes, but it also holds the lights, garlands and tree top angel. thus only requiring 2 boxes for that tree. I also have some two 4 1/2' trees. The box will hold everything on the tree and a lot of the miscellaneous items from the same room. Don't forget the garland bags. They hold several garlands if you get the double bag. October 3, 2013
Great Product This ornament storage container was exactly what I have been looking for. It has great appearance and my ornaments fit nicely into the slots. January 22, 2014

What can we do if our baby hates riding in the car?
My 2 1/2-month-old hates the car. The crying begins as soon as I start driving. We've tried everything: adjusting the straps, using a blanket, not using a blanket, hanging toys from the handle ... nothing works. Occasionally he'll cry himself to sleep, but for the most part driving with him is a nightmare. Could he have motion sickness? What else can I do?

At 2.5 months of age, my baby went thru the same thing. If someone sat next to him, he was fine. If I drove with just the baby, he would scream until his voice was sore. I tried one of those mirrors, but had trouble getting the mirror to stay put. One of my friends told me to print out an 8.5 X 10 head shot of mommy and daddy and tape it in front of the seat. So far, it has worked!posted 01/02/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
" I have a 4 month old and he hates riding in the car. At first we thought it was because he was too big for the car seat. So we bought a bigger one and that worked for a little while. Now he cries and cries until he falls asleep or chokes. Which for the most is so scarey. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who is going though this.posted 12/28/2005 by sunshinegirl26
My baby was the same way. She cried every single time we got in the car. At three months we figured out she had acid refux. After getting her on medicine for that, car rides were much better. I think the motion and being scrunched up made the reflux worse.posted 12/18/2005 by tralinmom
My daughter Mikayla has done the crying thing since we brought her home from the hospital and it has taken us almost her entire life to figure out how to get her to sit in the car for longer than 10 minutes without crying. My advice to all of you is to get a pacifer. What I do is put the pacifier in and when I get into the front seat I put my arm over her seat and hold her hand until she falls asleep. I know it sounds dangerous but we don't even go a mile before shes out and the ride os quiet. We also feed her before we go anywhere and we're usually much better off. Good luck!posted 12/17/2005 by LoriD7
michelle, my son was tough in the car for a very long time.nothing stopped the crying until we got these cd's that had adults singing children's songs on them. he was about 8 or 9 months old by then I'd guess. There would still be the occasional painful ride but it really made a huge difference. At 15 months he was perfect, with or without the music. he is almost 3 now and is still a wonderful passenger. I'm sure that seems like an eternity for you now. We did have one of those mirrors over his carseat but i don't think that helped. I now have a 2 month old who crys everytime we get in the car until he falls asleep. i don't think it is the car though, he crys most of the day no matter what is happening. So far the music hasn't had a positive impact on him. hang in there and good luck. :)posted 12/17/2005 by FOREVERMORE17
Hello. My daugher Katie now 4 mths hated the car up until I got the Fisher Price Deluxe car mirror with sounds & lights- it plays music similar to her swing and she follows the lights- (which are great for trips after dark) I have gone from never going out with her to taking a daily "adventure" and she is fine , just as long as she has her mirror and I love getting out again- I really recommend it to all of you!posted 12/17/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
It is so nice to hear we weren't the only ones with this problem. Our cure? Rolling the rear windows down a bit. I think it was the road noise but now it almost always soothes her to sleep. When she's calm, we roll them up. Other passengers may be annoyed, but it is a whole lot better than driving with a yelling baby.posted 12/16/2005 by ndholden
My son hated the car as well until, at about 3 months, I realized that the base was inserted improperly. It had an adjustment so that it would wedge the seat so that the carseat didn't slant forward. Ever since then he has been fine. Other than that, I sympathize with you and can tell you that he/she will grow out of it.posted 12/13/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
try putting on the baby einstien cd's they seemed to work pretty well for my baby she hated the car for a long time. now when she starts to cry we pop a cd in and off she goes just tapping her feet to the music. when she falls asleep thats when I get a break from the music. I have discovered that my daughter does not like talk radio unlike her father.posted 12/13/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
Same problem..Our 4 month old has screamed since we brought her home. The minute we put her in the car seat 95% of the time she starts crying instantly! We've tried the mirror, haning toys, ect.. She plays with her toys now, but very rarely does she not scream when we go places.posted 12/13/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
