Celebrity Stylist Weighs In on Form-Fitting Maternity Styles Hitting Hollywood
Celebs like Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé Knowles, and Hilary Duff have been showing off their extra curvy baby bumps in VERY form-fitting clothing, so that got us thinking … what does an expert stylist have to say about the world of maternity wear? We sat down exclusively with stylist, Art Conn, to get his opinion on celebrity moms-to-be.
What do you think of the tight clothing popping up on pregnant celebs? Play fashion critic in the comments and see what Art had to say about the trend below!
Q: Is it possible to find trendy maternity clothes?
A: "The market for maternity clothes has come a long way. There is fashionable, sexy, comfortable clothing. Also, a lot of denim companies do jeans! Old school jeans had that big, black, stretchy panel in the front, whereas now they make these jeans you would never know in a million years they were maternity. It's kind of wild."
A: "These are women who are scrutinized every day of their lives for being too fat or too skinny. This is the one moment in their lives where they are like, 'I don't care if a paparazzi gets an unflattering angle. No one's going to care if I look big or bad. I'm pregnant and it's a beautiful weight.'"
Q: That must be a nice change of pace for them!
A: "Absolutely. It's a normal time in their lives. They do not have to get glitzed out and wear designers and worry about how much things cost. It's a time for them to kind of be like 'I want to feel sexy and I want to be pretty but I also want to be comfortable. The pressure is off for once in their lives but they also know once that baby comes out, the pressure is on to be back to their pre-pregnancy weight."
Q: Is it harder for pregnant celebs to find high fashion, designer clothing for red carpet events?
A: "A lot of designers are doing a division of their company as a maternity line, but for more A-list celebs, they can have things made for them. And that's what stylists are for. We take clothes that wouldn't normally fit and make them work with a seamstress and tailor."
Q: What are the most flattering styles for pregnant women?
A: "A-line or empire waist. Empire waist works really well because it flows out over your belly and it's still a very stylish and trendy cut. You can find them on the racks at any store, so you don't have to feel like, 'Oh god. Now I have to go to the maternity ward.' You don't necessarily have to minimize because it's not something to be embarrassed about. People will actually talk about your curvy belly! Like 'How cute!' as opposed to 'What is she doing?!' You want to buy stuff that is current and trendy while celebrating what a magical time it is in your life."
Q: Can people wear regular, non-maternity clothes while pregnant?
A: "A lot of people are holding on to their last vestiges of style. They don't want to go into total mom-mode. They want to still be hip and fashionable so they hold out till the last minute. To make the switch, go into a maternity store. The sales people there know what will look good on you and how things fit, just like any store. Especially for first time moms, it is helpful to have someone walk you through the process."

MINAGI Concept
GENEVA (March 1, 2011) – The MINAGI Concept makes its world premiere at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show as the expression of Mazda's new SKYACTIV technologies and new KODO design language. It is the first model which showcases characteristics likely to be seen in the next generation of Mazda cars. For this reason, Mazda has fully incorporated its SKYACTIV technologies into every aspect of driving performance, including the powertrain, chassis, and even body design. As the second concept vehicle to incorporate Mazda's new 'KODO – Soul of Motion' design language, MINAGI challenges conventions with emotional design and exhilarating performance.
While SHINARI was a pure design concept to express the full potential of KODO design, MINAGI gives a glimpse of the next generation of products to come. As the second concept car to adopt Mazda's KODO design theme, MINAGI's design elements combine the expression of energy pulsing throughout the vehicle with the keen agility to move about freely and nimbly. With its upright, compact packaging, MINAGI offers a vision of KODO design that is different to SHINARI, yet it shares the same sinuous, powerful stance.
"I wanted to convey something different from the Mazda SHINARI," said Masashi Nakayama, Chief Designer, MINAGI Concept. "I felt a compact crossover SUV was the perfect vehicle to express agility and focused movement; the flexibility of four limbs moving in unison, and an upright posture."
The Mazda MINAGI is a stylish expression of pent-up energy. In Japanese, its name conjures up the image of an object pulsating with energy and perfectly reflects the vehicle's speed, agility and spirited character. For MINAGI, Mazda designers looked at different aspects of cheetahs as they hunt. A cheetah's head is positioned high, while long, powerful and supple limbs hold its lean torso upright to enable it to change direction quickly at high speed. Mazda's designers set out to evoke the moment when an animal contracts its muscles, ready to sprint and lunge at its prey. Furthermore, such a lunge can be in any direction; an idea which fits with the function of an agile crossover SUV as it nimbly darts through a sprawling cityscape.
Major features of the Mazda MINAGI Concept – An urban-friendly compact crossover SUV which combines emotional design with exhilarating performance
Exterior design – KODO design embodied in the form of a compact crossover SUV

System would notify community if offenders took up residence near child care centers.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion by Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich calling for the development of a countywide alert system to notify local officials when a sex offender attempts to register at an address of a state-licensed foster or child care facility.
Under state law, foster and daycare licensees have the responsibility to report the names of any adults living in or associated with their facilities. However, a state audit on April 16 revealed that, of the 75,000 community care facilities licensed by the State's Community Care Licensing Division, the addresses of 49 registered sex offenders matched those of 46 licensed facilities statewide, including foster and child care homes.
"We need a reliable mechanism that coordinates State and County databases and sends a red flag whenever a sex predator attempts to register at a location that serves the needs of children," said Antonovich.
Antonovich has also initiated a strict new county ordinance that strengthens the state's residency restrictions for sex offenders. The ordinance will be considered by the Board after county departments have completed a required mapping study in 60 days.
Antonovich also initiated the County's on-line Sex Offender Locator Map in 2002 and the County's Amber Alert system, which has become a model for the state and other jurisdictions nationwide.

Research Notes
Alex Rodriguez has struggled mightily throughout the majority of his postseason career. He overcame those struggles in 2009 when he won the Babe Ruth Award for postseason MVP en route to leading the Yankees to a World Series championship. A-Rod has not been good since however, including going 1-for-9 with 5 strikeouts thus far this postseason.[+]
Close [X]
Alex Rodriguez struck out to end Game 2 and is 1-9 in this series with 5 strikeouts. Rodriguez has missed on 11 of his 23 swings this postseason. He's missed on four of five swings against breaking balls, including the slider on which Darren O'Day struck him out during the Yankees seventh-inning scoring threat. The Orioles have done a nice job working the edges of the plate. They've thrown 40 of their 47 pitches in this series to the inner-third (or off the inside corner) or the outer-third (or off the outside corner) of home plate. Rodriguez hit .227 in at-bats that ended with pitches to those edges during the regular season, with a miss rate of 28 percent. That miss rate ranked second-worst of the 13 Yankees with the most plate appearances during the regular season, trailing only Curtis Granderson's 31 percent.
Wei-Yin Chen threw 21 sliders, matching his second-highest total of the season, and got a season-high seven outs with the pitch. The Yankees put nine of Chen's sliders in play, hitting eight on the ground and popping the other up on the infield.
A-Rod struck out swinging against Jim Johnson to end this one, the 4th time in his career he has struck out to end a postseason game... that's more game-ending strikeouts than any player in history...[+]

I've been to Abigaile three times so it's safe to say this review is overdue.
This space has been through many incarnations including a rehearsal space for Black Flag back in the 80s. The atmosphere is loud and lively. It's a great place to relax with friends, enjoy the view, and of course share some small tapas style dishes. The menu changes frequently, so there's always a reason to come back and try something new. Abigaile supports local growers and has a brewery on site too.
First up was the cheesy poofs. Soft and warm biscuits that melted in my mouth and cut like butter accompanied by honey butter.
Next up was three generous pieces of moist pork belly served on a slightly spicy bed of garlic rice with a fried egg on top. Almost everything on the menu looked appetizing and it was hard to narrow it down. I'd say I made a good choice.
I managed to save room for dessert. Their strawberry s'mores were a perfect way to end the evening. Toasted marshmallow and rich milk chocolate paired well with raspberry gelato. A glass of ice cold milk would've gone well with the finale.
If you're looking for a place with a fun atmosphere & tasty food, look no further than Abigaile.

"I just used one kind of Chex and substituted 3 cups of multi-grained Cheerios. Instead of bagel chips, I added Goldfish crackers. I took this to a family gathering, everyone enjoyed it, and I left with an empty bowl."
"Very delicious. This is our favorite waffle recipe. I used the oil instead of lard as suggested by another reviewer. I also added fresh blueberries & blackberries."

"This smoothie had good flavor, but felt some what chalky from the pudding. I added more milk to get a smoother texture."

WWII 'loyalty hearing' courtroom to be dedicated
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A Fort Missoula courtroom that was used to hold "loyalty hearings" for more than 1,000 Japanese nationals living in the U.S. during World War II has been restored and will be dedicated this weekend.
The Post Headquarters Courtroom held hearings for the Japanese men taken from their homes in the months following America's entry in the war after Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941.
The men, all resident aliens who could not become American citizens, were arrested by the FBI after they were identified as prominent Japanese leaders or potential Login to read more

May 11, 2012
RENO, Nev. – University of Nevada (28-21, 8-5 WAC) sophomore Bradey Shipley pitched his first complete game as the Wolf Pack defeat San Jose State University (21-23, 5-8 WAC) by a score of 4-1, in the first game of Western Athletic Conference series at Peccole Park tonight. With the victory the Pack improved to 8-5 in the WAC which moved them into a tie with Hawai`i atop the conference standings as the Rainbows lost 7-6 in 12 innings at Sacramento State today.
Overall Nevada is 28-21 while SJSU dropped to 21-23 and 5-8 in WAC action.
SJSU scored its only run of the game in the top of the second inning but Nevada scored twice in the bottom of the inning. Brooks Klein's double tied the game and Kyle Hunt's single put the Pack ahead to stay.
Nevada added a run in the seventh on Hunt's RBI double. Jamison Rowe doubled home Klein in the eighth to make the final score 4-1.
After allowing the run in the second inning Shipley (8-3) pitched seven shutout innings to toss his first complete game for the Pack.

Breakfast Topic: Do you have a favorite race? {WoW}
Apr 22nd 2011 1:58PM My co-worker got me into World of Warcraft. He used to tell me how he was disgusted with the Alliance on a daily level, so when I first created a character, it would be Horde. I loved playing Oblivion as a guy who could observe massive damage and would be just enormously sized, so he told me to roll a Tauren. So my first character I've ever created and still my main and raiding today is a Tauren Warrior.
Best decision I've ever made.
I also have love for the Blood Elves, their lore is completely bad ass.

Mar 13th 2011 3:03PM My favorite encounter has to be the Opera from Karazhan, I loved raiding in Karazhan in general but that raid encounter was just awesome.
Not knowing which encounter you were going to face made it so cool. Personally I loved the Romulo and Julianne, the first time we attmpted the boss, we didn't understand the concept of the fight and we battled for what seemed forever because the kept bringing each other back to life. The Wizard of Oz was pretty cool and so was The Big Bad Wolf one.
My close second has to be Kael'thas Sunstrider in Tempest Keep, such a cool fight and seemed impossible at the time, now its 10-manned weekly, so sad.

ABSTRACT In view of the variable presentations of biceps brachii, a proper understanding of the anatomy of the muscle, and possible anatomical variants is a pre-requisite in managing distal biceps injury. We present the case of a 65 years old male cadaver showing variationin the insertion pattern of biceps brachii muscle unilaterally on the left arm. Although the origin of the muscle was normal, its insertion was by two separate tendons; a common and an accessory; both inserting on diverse regions of the radial tuberosity. The common tendon was formed by the tendons from short head and long head. The accessory tendon was the extension of the fleshy belly on the lateral side of the main muscle (Accessory Muscle Belly) towards its lower third. Knowledge of the accessory tendon of the biceps iscrucial while performing tendon reconstruction and repair and it may also lead to unusual displacement of the bone fragment, subsequent to fracture.

ABSTRACT: The anatomy of the distal biceps tendon and aponeurosis has not been studied in detail. Seventeen cadaver elbows were dissected with loupe magnification to identify the details of the distal biceps tendon and the lacertus fibrosus. In ten of the seventeen specimens, the distal biceps tendon was in two distinct parts, each a continuation of the long and short heads of the muscle. The remaining seven specimens showed interdigitation of the muscle distally. The tendon continued from each muscle belly. The short head inserted distal to the radial tuberosity and was positioned to be a more powerful flexor of the elbow, while the tendon of the long head inserted on the tuberosity further from the axis of rotation of the forearm and was positioned to be a stronger supinator. The bicipital aponeurosis consisted of three layers and completely encircled the ulnar forearm flexor muscles. The aponeurosis may be important in stabilizing the tendons distally. The double tendon insertion may allow an element of independent function of each portion of the biceps, and, during repair of an avulsion, the surgeon should ensure correct orientation of both tendon components.The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery 06/2007; 89(5):1044-9. · 3.23 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The distal biceps brachii tendon is commonly susceptible to traumatic injury. This study aimed to describe the morphology of the distal biceps brachii tendon in relation to the commonly used endobutton repair of tendon rupture. The results suggested that the distal tendon is a series of distinct bands of variable number. These bands are obscured surgically by the tendon sheath. Upon opening this sheath, blunt dissection of the tendon released fibrous connections between the tendon bands. Adjacent bands were variably connected via small oblique bands. The separations between bands were continuous onto the radius. They were therefore considered as separate force-conducting units. This notion is of high relevance to endobutton repairs, as the sutures are typically only passed through the margins of the tendon. Where few connections exist between tendinous bands, this represents a potential weakness, as central bands are therefore free to be pulled proximally. This is of primary concern in the early rehabilitative stages of postoperative care. It may be suggested that sutures that cross the width of the tendon will eliminate the give of central bands, improving postoperative results, reducing revision numbers, and potentially reducing rehabilitation time.Clinical Anatomy 05/2009; 22(3):346-51. · 1.16 Impact Factor

Although the proximal end of the biceps brachii is
commonly discussed for its well documented
variations, its distal tendon is rarely described and
understood. Anatomical texts describe biceps brachii
as having two proximal heads, the short head arising
from a thick flattened tendon from the apex of the
coracoid process and the long head from the
supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. The two
tendons lead to elongated bellies that, although
closely applied, can be separated to within 7 cm or
so of the elbow joint. At this joint they end in a
flattened tendon which is attached to the rough
posterior area of the radial tuberosity. The tendon
has a broad medial expansion, the bicipital
aponeurosis, which descends medially across the
brachial artery to fuse with the deep fascia over the
origins of flexor muscles of the forearm.[1] The
aponeurosis is said to protect the neurovascular
bundle on the antecubital fossa.[2]
The anatomy of the distal biceps tendon is still a
topic for contemporary research, and the transition
of muscle into the tendon remains vaguely
understood. A clear understanding of the distal
tendon would be helpful in better management of its
surgical repair.
Materials and methods
The variation in insertion pattern of biceps brachii
muscle described was found in the left upper limb of
a cadaver, 65 years old Indian male, during routine
dissection in the Department of Anatomy, Rural
Medical College, Loni. The history of the individual
and the cause of death is not known. The
topographic details of the muscle was examined by
casual dissection and photographed. The length and
thickness of the tendons were measured by vernier
Case report
During routine dissection, we came across an
unusual unilateral insertion of the biceps brachii by
two tendons. One common tendon and another
accessory tendon, on the left arm, in a male cadaver

In view of the variable presentations of biceps brachii, a proper understanding of the
anatomy of the muscle, and possible anatomical variants is a pre-requisite in managing
distal biceps injury. We present the case of a 65 years old male cadaver showing variation
in the insertion pattern of biceps brachii muscle unilaterally on the left arm. Although the
origin of the muscle was normal, its insertion was by two separate tendons; a common and
an accessory; both inserting on diverse regions of the radial tuberosity. The common
tendon was formed by the tendons from short head and long head. The accessory tendon
was the extension of the fleshy belly on the lateral side of the main muscle (Accessory
Muscle Belly) towards its lower third. Knowledge of the accessory tendon of the biceps is
crucial while performing tendon reconstruction and repair and it may also lead to unusual
displacement of the bone fragment, subsequent to fracture.

of 65 years of age. The origin of the muscle was
normal and both the heads fused to form a belly. The
belly continued distally to form a common tendon
which comprised of tendons from the short and long
head. The length of the common tendon was 58 mm
and the thickness was 5 mm and was inserted on the
posterior part of the radial tuberosity.
The accessory tendon was an extension of the fleshy
belly which was separated from the lateral side of
the muscle on its lower one-third. The length of the
fleshy belly was 45 mm and thickness was 6 mm,
while the length of the accessory tendon was 28 mm
and the thickness was 1.5 mm. This tendon was
inserted on the radial tuberosity, distal to the
insertion of the common tendon. (Fig 1)

m uscle (BBM), continuing downwards as Com m on
Tendon and inserted on radial tuberosity. Accessory
tendon extending from the accessory m uscle belly
from the lateral aspect of BBM (lower one third), and
inserted onto the distal part of radial tuberosity
Literature is replete with variations of the origin of
biceps brachii.[3, 4] Only few cases have been
reported on the variations related to the insertion of
this muscle. Paval J and Mathew JG, described a
case of abnormal insertion where most of the muscle
fibres formed a rounded tendon which was inserted
on the radial tuberosity, but some of the fibres from
the medial side, below the level of middle of the arm,
formed a separate muscle bundle and continued as a
narrow tendinous slip, which divided into medial and
lateral. Medial slip was inserted on the medial
supracondylar ridge of humerus and the lateral slip
merged with the fascial covering of flexor carpii
Fogg QA, et. al, in their study on 46 cadaveric arms
observed connection between the two muscle heads
(short and long heads). This study demonstrated a
more complex arrangement of fascicles of common
biceps tendon. They suggest that most distal biceps
brachii tendon have multiple connections between
the tendinous bands that originates from each muscle
Eames M S, et. al, studied insertion pattern of distal
biceps tendon in 17 limbs. They observed that the
tendon of the long head passed deep to the tendon
of the short head to insert more proximally. The
tendon of the short head inserted in a fan like fashion
into the distal portion of radial tuberosity.[2]
There are very few studies on distal biceps tendons
and its insertions. Despite extensive search of
literature we did not find a case similar to ours in
which the biceps is inserted by two distinct tendons
on the radial tuberosity. The practical fallout of the
accessory tendon reported in this case may point to
the kinematics of the biceps muscle. As both the
tendons are inserted on the radial tuberosity, it might
not have effected the direction of pull but may have
had a significant role in the increased power of
flexion and supination of the muscle.
Knowledge of the accessory tendon of the biceps is
crucial in avoiding pitfalls while performing tendon
reconstruction and repair in cases of avulsion. The
present findings could be useful for the well informed
clinician as the accessory tendon could provide
additional strength or cause unusual displacement of
the bone fragments subsequent to fractures. The
interest in the variable presentations of biceps brachii
is continual and with further studies, it is hoped that
increased anatomical knowledge of the muscle
would be very helpful in enhancing the understanding
and management of different upper limb disorders.

Good morning, Loretta. And, those to come. Just got up. Handy man never showed up nor called yesterday. Maybe today?
My friend called me almost 9 p.m. last night. I didn't say anything about the time because maybe she didn't realize it was so late. I was lying in bed playing with the tablet with HGTV on the t.v. She wanted to remind me about a lunch today...which I was not planning on going to. It's free for all those over 85 and others can come and pay $5. She's "of age" and I, of course, would have to pay. I'll probably be sorry I didn't go but I'm going out tomorrow night with our street so enough is enough at the moment. Today is bed changing day, so off I go!
Jan, I just loaded the Word game you mentioned. I see it's like scrabble BUT I can't figure out exactly how to play the game on the tablet. Also, don't know how to add someone's name to play with. Call me STUPID!

Good morning Doris and thanks for fun start to the day.
Just read your post from yesterday night SuSun. The smoke quit has been nothing like the first quit 12 years ago. Of course that was after a 20+ year habit and this is only for the months of October, November & December with one last ciggy on the morning of Jan.1 2013. "MY BURNING SHOUT IN MY HEAD"? Just do not buy them and for Gawd's Sake- no bumming!!! At Sam's yesterday (the place was a Zoo- with crowds blocking aisles... reminded me of what Zombies would be like in real life. The "cage" where the ciggys are locked up had a big crowd waiting to get their butts and I felt relief that it wasn't me with them and yet envy at the same time. Thanks for the support here as it sure does help to be cheered on.
I will watch "Country Strong" today and then just more house puttering and pulling down all the decorations till Christmas 2013.
Doris, that cartoon is great! Has anyone tried the PREPRATION Hyet?
Begete? what was that second movie you recommended after The Southern Beast one? I have that one on a long wait list at BB but for the life of me could not remember the title of the second one you liked.
Kitties are loving their poached chicken this morning and loved their steamed raw easy peels last night (they only like the Sam's shrimp so I stocked up on that for them.
Coffee is bout gone and so am I.

Sure is cold here this morning - 35 degrees - but it is supposed to warm up later in the day.
Got the laundry going and need to go the office supply store when they open to pick up 'New Year' stuff. The rest of the day will be spent doing work stuff and then I will reward myself with the new Downton episode.
Keep up the good work, Lainey; I know it's a hard fight, but if anyone can do it, you can!

Morning all.
Nothing going on here. I used to play Canasta, too. At least we will have a few things to do when we all have our Golden's reunion! Eat and play!
Lainey, I have 2 movies here that I will watch today, I hope. The Godfather...I have a list of Movies I alway thought I'd seen but really haven't and that was on it. Breakfast at Tiffany's is on that list, too. Also Decoy Bride which I hear is cute and has great scenery. Hope to get them both watched today. The Kindle seems to win out when there are movies about.

Thanks for the opening, Loretta. If you read women's magazines, the beauty business is billion dollar, same as weight loss, and there is always a fool born every minute..............too bad we didn't buy stocks though
Sun is out, it's 19 degrees, and lots of birds out there, woodpeckers of 3 different types.
Ginny, I think Don Williams came out of retirement, has a new album to support, and your area there in Florida is laden with seniors who are not destitute, so they can charge alot for those tickets. He is coming to California, but unfortunately will be in downtown theatres, where we would not go at night.........those tickets are in the $60 range. Have you seen Merle lately?
Wondering if Verleen and Cathy will hear something by tomorrow?
Michele, I haven't spoken with our son yet, but that is danged cold for you guys!
Hi Lainey, keep it going, and it seems every store is a zoo, when we were down in Roseville, the Wal Mart was fuller than when we went before Christmas.........of course, we were part of the "zoo", too.
Anne, I still have the cards and tray to play Canasta with, used to play with the folks and relatives. It was fun, but I don't know a single soul who plays now.
Julie, better to stay put today, so your energy can stand tomorrow, at least you have things planned to do and look forward too, that is great!
Back to the bike, and going out later to fool around in the snow, lol.
Have a good day, "Posters to come".

OOPS, Thanks for the opening LORETTA! not Doris this time.
DORIS, toss a great big snowball with my name on it!
Major LCF Poster!
Doris, that there are so many activities in places like Ginny and I live in, is why we bought here. Originally, we had bought a brand new condo in this city but there was nothing to do other than go to the pool. DH would go to town facility to play shuffleboard. But, here we have everything contained. Doris, if/when you move, this type of a place would be a great type of living for you. It's very easy to make friends, get out, and do whatever interests you. We both kept busy all day and some evenings.
The handyman did come today at 11 a.m. and he is still working. Gosh, it's going to add up to big bucks! Next on my list is to get the house washed; it needs it. And to either get back my 'original' cleaning lady or a new one that someone recommended highly. Oh, decisions, decisions, decisions!

I agree about these "retirement" places, they are really fun and have much to offer "seniors." We had friends over last night and tonight we're going over to another group of friends home. Very much fun! So different from our life in our little Iowa town.
Doris, we haven't seen or heard a thing about Merle. We do miss RFD TV tho, we don't get it here.
We're leaving in a bit to go to the fabric store, DH is going to fix something on a friends golf cart.
Looking forward to Downton Abbey tonight, we will also DVR The Good Wife. Gee, Sunday nights are great here at this house.

Good morning all...the low front moved through and, so far, we haven't received any rain. Scattered showers still in the forecast but it doesn't look as tho' we'll get anything. Oh well, such is life.
Keep up the good work, Lainey, just like losing the weight stopping smoking takes time. Stay busy and keep the faith...you can do it.
I've a couple of movies, Woman in Black and The Contract, to watch before cancelling my contract with Netflix as I've mentioned. I, too, hear the Kindle calling over movies, so don't want the trouble.
Hope you all have a good day...

It's an old one...Indochine (1992), "A wealthy plantation owner and her adopted daughter are living in French Indochina when civil war erupts. But when both women fall for the same French naval officer, their relationship becomes tumultuous."
I periodically put old or foreign movies (which I love) on my list. My deal is one at a time with no limit per month for $7.
Way too much time on my hands!

Good Sunday Afternoon All,
Thank you Loretta for the chuckle. Yes, that is about the size of it these days for Rx and such a shopping cart. LOL!
Ginny and Julie, I whole heartedly agree that those Florida homes with a clubhouse have a real sense of community. I will rent for the Winter months for a while until I find just the right one. I am very blessed that I do find it easy to make friends. People are people no matter where you are with all the same needs.
I have the tree partially undressed so I am going at it today. It is the feast of the Epiphany so I am on the look out for those 3 Kings especially the one bringing Gold. LOL!
Yes, Downton Abbey is on tonight it is a 2hr show 9pm to 11pm here and at 8pm is the actual castle where the shows are made. So for some an interesting 3 hours. I am recording it. Yes Sunday nights are great on tv Ginny. I record so much and watch when we are ready.
Lainey, YOU Are doing it!
Taking care of your Health is the best New Years Resolution in my humble opinion.
It is good that you noticed the benefits of not smoking. Not having to hang around the smoking cabinet. You are 'Free' of that monkey on your back. Keep noticing the benefits and right them down to encourage You On!
Thank You to All that are mentioning Movies and their reviews.
Hope to check back later...

Good morning. Our weekend guests just left, so I have tons of laundry to look forward to today plus remaking beds. I seem to have picked up a stomach bug as every time I eat I feel nauseated. Maybe that will work better than diet?
Lainey, can't remember which films I recommended in which order. I think the second one we saw Beasts of the Southern Wild, was Lincoln, which was excellent. We also saw and liked Zero Dark Thirty, Cloud Atlas, Argo, Skyfall, Les Miserables.

Hope everyone is having a pleasant Sunday. It's cold, windy and dreary here.
Met a friend for lunch, now I'm headed over to my dad's to put out his pills for the week. Then back home to finish packing up the Christmas tree. Back to work tomorrow after being off for 2 weeks.
Closing on a house can take awhile. Inspections, appraisals, financing, etc. Verleen, be prepared for the inspector to come back with a million things wrong with the house. Most of it will be unimportant, but it's their job to point out everything. It's frustrating though, because you have to sift through it all to find out if there's anything seriously amiss.
Congratulations on quitting smoking, Lainey. It's not easy to do.
Really hoping for some sunshine soon! I don't mind the cold so much, but I have trouble getting motivated when it's dark and grey outside.

Thanks Begete, I think it was the Zero Dark 30 one. I'll list it anyway.
Over cast here and I too am without motivation on dreary days.
YiPIIIII on TV tonight. I am thinking of going all PBS with "Call The MidWife" then straight into "Downton Abby". I love "Once Upon A Time" but HATE the commericials that increase so much as the show progresses that towards the end there are more commercials that actual show being played.
I am one of those that loves the "Bowl" game commercials and always take a pile of my newspaper puzzle daily sheets and play while the actual game is on. My all time fav. commercial- The CAT Round up! They said the cats loved being in that round up. Those cowboys riding those horses with a cat in their arms was price less.
Welp, back to nothing.

Gray and cloudy here, too...guess we might get some showers. I, too, am afflicted with SAD, seasonal Affective Disorder, and the dark winter months are difficult to get through. Alaska was particularly bad for me but I survived it with help from my friends. Just think, Spring is really just around the corner and weather will be warming before you know it.

Greetings to all-
Epiphany (today) is my younger sister's birthday. We're far enough apart in age (almost 11 years) that I remember bringing her home from the hospital.
This has been a crazy few days. I was laid off on Friday. I will get unemployment, but that's not going to be enough to sustain us, so I have to scramble to find something else. On top of that, dh came down with the flu on Friday and is having a serious bout of it. At least I am mostly recovered from my bronchitis and can walk the dogs, do chores, etc., while looking after him. His temperature has dropped to low-grade fever, so now it's just a matter of getting enough liquid and nourishment into him.
Oy vey!
Love the cartoon, Loretta. A couple of women I used to work with had botox done and it looks just awful - a smooth forehead, but a look of perpetual surprise. No thanks.
I will doubtless be checking in more often, now that I'm a lady of leisure. And I might even get the house cleaned up.
Best to all and please hold the good thought for a new job for me! I need to have fibroid surgery (22 weeks pregnancy-size with all of them) and am thinking I may as well do it now just to get it over with. They're painful or I'd just ignore them.
Life throws some curve balls, but I'm feeling mentally strong, which is a plus.
I think I'm treating myself to a glass of wine tonight, since I don't have to be up at 6 am tomorrow.
Have a good one.

The assignment was to cut out newspaper photographs……
Photojournalism. We were looking for photo credits, pictures of the day, discussing the purposes of photography.
The students were to find two photographs, cut them out and answer the Who What Where When Why.
There's such variety of subjects throughout the papers.
Here is what I saw at one table when I was checking on how the project was coming along. It made me laugh out loud.
Guess the purpose of the photo was "to advertise" but the paper wristwatch on his wrist was unexpected.
Thanks to my friend who had brought over a big box of newspapers and left them on my front porch.

Miniature Dog and Boy Amid Jelly Beans
Amid, Amidst, Among- Writing Tips Blog describes the difference of these three words.
You decide if I made the right choice- amid. Amidst is outdated but I chose that first. Then I wondered if I chose correctly.
The more I thought about the choice, the more confused I became. But we are among friends.
Where did that boy go?
"There he is. Is he going to throw that stick, or what? I'll fetch it."
A washcloth and some multicolored jelly beans. Miniature train people. Taken with a Canon Power Shot at school.
Photographer Christopher Boffoli has the best use of the miniatures I've seen. He's created a book Big Appetites.
Creative and humorous, his work cheers me. Makes me laugh.

You Could Dress Me Up…..1959- Newark NJ
Note to self: Remember how I mugged for the camera in 1959 when I'm attempting to photograph the grandchildren in 2014!
Pittsburgh Public Schools was closed today. I did some sorting and found some old family photos. My family didn't own a camera that I know of but I think my sister took this photo somehow and I will ask her tomorrow and add any details. My cousins may have been involved. Paul? John B?
An iPhone photo of a photo isn't the best quality but you get the idea.
And thanks to Kathryn of Vastly Curious blog I went and found the front page from New York Times August 23, 1959 Steven Rockefeller's Wedding to a Norwegian (Anne Marie Rasmussen )in the photo

Senior Picture Halloween Costume Via Laura
If you follow the blog through FB, you probably already saw Laura's Halloween Costume for her party at work.
I thought it was creative and would make a fun post. She is a "Senior Picture"
Here's she is- as photographed by a coworker (Lori, she thinks) Not a terrific photo credit but that can be rectified tomorrow.
Laura sports her supervisor's actual High School Senior Photograph, held by paper clips and ribbon.

Magi With Gift on Vending Machine and the Ice Cream Sandwich Vacuum
What I found after lunch at the inservice today at Pittsburgh Filmmakers-
Sure this King has been shot a thousand times but it was my first sighting and he made me laugh out loud when I looked up and saw him.
I did attempt to purchase an ice cream sandwich ( I know, I know….) from the frozen vending machine and the lid of the freezer compartment opened and the vacuum hose was at the ready to suck up a sandwich but the machine was empty and rejected my dollar bill. Waaaaaaaaah!
The man at the equipment desk with the retro Pirates hat came to assist and told me that sometimes, if you are lucky, the ice cream sandwiches get stuck together and he has actually seen as many as FIVE get sucked up and dispensed. Several colleagues waited with me, hopefully. EMPTY!
And here is the shot I got when I left my driveway on the second day of back to the school year. Just had the iPhone camera once again.
Liz Tried Her Hand at the Art of Bonsai
Since the family is visiting , Erika wanted to see her longtime friend Liz. We drove out to the country today to see Liz and her family's new home and all the hard work they have done (continue to do) to make it spectacular. During the house tour she shared her attempt at Bonsai.
She made us smile. It can't be easy.
I should have asked her more about it but the little brown growth had a prime spot in a sunny window in the kitchen, even though it had seen better days.
Not sure if she took a workshop or class.
Here 's a link to the Brooklyn Botanic article on Bonsai Small Tree, Big Heart by Julian Velasco
And here is one of the photographs of a Bonsai tree at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden I took in June when I visited my sister.
Probably more what Liz had in mind. Bonsai means "planted in a tray" and the definition and history is here

Reviews for the Gigaset QV830

Overall the Gigaset QV830 is a nice piece of kit with video delivery being superior to audio output. Included in the box is a standard-to-micro USB lead for charging and connecting to a computer. Connectivity to Wi-Fi networks is good as is its Bluetooth functionality. Additional storage is available via a micro DSD card or use USB OTG.

The Gigaset QV830 isn't perfect - it's not an iPad mini or Kindle Fire HDX rival - but that doesn't matter. Gigaset isn't trying to compete with those models. The QV830 is a £70 tablet at the moment - £70! - and to pull it up for not offering the same quality or performance as far more expensive alternatives would be unfair. For a budget device, it's great.

With a design and build that punches above its price-point and reasonable specification, the Gigaset QV830 is all the tablet you could possibly expect for £99, and actually surprises in a couple of regards. If you spend a little more, then there are more powerful tablets around, such as the Google Nexus 7, or more features to be had on the Advent Vega Tegra Note 7. However, if your budget is fixed, and you're not looking to play the latest and greatest games, then the larger (if lower res) screen and metallic feel might be enough to keep you content.

How much should you expect from a £100 tablet? Cash-strapped people who want the style of an iPad mini for a fraction of the cost could do a lot worse than buying a Gigaset QV830. However, don't think you're getting everything an iPad – or even Nexus 7 – offers for less cash. Most of the specs are a year or two out of date and the Gigaset QV830's performance is less than perfect. If you just want something to browse the web and play casual games on while lounging on the sofa, though, it's a pretty great buy for the family. Ultra-budget tablets like this are far, far better than they used to be just a couple of years ago.

8.0": This is a very small format, which is used for UMPC, Netbooks or Subotebooks. There hardly exist any models with this display format. Working for a long time is uncomfortable. This tiny display is intended for outdoor usage.
The advantage is, that the mini-notebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
0.34 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
72.38%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

The Ticker: Clinton, CBS Correspondents, Comedy
- Chelsea Clinton, who has been absent from NBC News since January despite the recent report that her annual salary is $600,000, has done two stories for "Nightly" expected to air "shortly," according to AP's David Bauder. NBC wanted to "avoid the appearance of a conflict" by having her on the air around the time of her mother's book tour, Bauder reports.
- Capital New York's Alex Weprin talks to three female CBS correspondents — Elizabeth Palmer, Holly Williams and Clarissa Ward — currently reporting in Iraq and Syria. "I think the one benefit in this part of the world being a woman is that sometimes it can be quite disarming for people to see women, to see a foreign women, and they are perhaps less likely to be suspicious of a foreign woman than a foreign man, less of a threat," Williams said.
