Publishing Tomorrow: What You See in the Dark by Manuel MuñozMarch 28, 2011 • 31 Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog, News and Publicity
Tomorrow marks the publication day for What You See in the Dark, the debut novel by Manuel Muñoz. Love? Intrigue? Hitchcock? What could be better?
We have three copies of What You See in the Dark to give away. To enter, just leave a comment here on or our Facebook page letting us know which Hitchcock movie you love most and why. Haven't seen a Hitchcock movie? Go out and rent Psycho IMMEDIATELY.
For more Muñoz, catch him on his Spring 2011 Book Tour, pick up a collection of his short stories, watch the What You See in the Dark trailer below, and read the stellar pre-pub reviews at bottom of this post.
About the book:
Bakersfield, California, in the late 1950s is a dusty, quiet town too far from Los Angeles to share that city's energy yet close enough to Hollywood to fill its citizens with the kinds of dreams they discover in the darkness of the movie theater. For Teresa, a young, aspiring singer who works at a shoe store, dreams lie in the music her mother shared with her, plaintive songs of love and longing. In Dan Watson, the most desirable young man in Bakersfield, she believes she has found someone to help her realize those dreams.
When a famous actress arrives from Hollywood with a great and already legendary director, local gossip about Teresa and Dan gives way to speculation about the celebrated visitors, there to work on what will become an iconic, groundbreaking film of madness and murder at a roadside motel. No one anticipates how the ill-fated love affair between Dan and Teresa will soon rival anything the director could ever put on the screen.
Praise for What You See in the Dark:
"A performance in literary night vision … Drawing on tremendous empathy and an exacting eye for detail, Muñoz conjures up a vanished era in which the people nevertheless feel indelibly real. Through a small cast of characters, he gives the reader an intimate look into dark places both literal and metaphorical … Muñoz's lean, graceful prose, shot through with quiet bursts of poetry, enlivens every page."—AARP VIVA
"[A] stellar first novel … The author brilliantly presents the Actress's inner thoughts, while he handles the violence with a subtlety worthy of Hitchcock himself. The lyrical prose and sensitive portrayal of the crime's ripple effect in the small community elevate this far beyond the typical noir."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Muñoz (The Faith Healer of Olive Avenue, 2007) has hit upon a killer premise: the making of Psycho (with appearances by the "actress" and the "director") set against the real-life murder of a young Latina singer in Bakersfield … Muñoz expertly evokes the way quiet desperation can explode into life-altering violence."—Booklist
"What You See in the Dark strikes emotional chords so deep and with such precision, it almost makes you believe you've discovered a new art form."—Austin Chronicle
A "refreshingly innovative first novel … Muñoz has upended the conventional crime novel, lauding a cinematic master while downplaying his own crime scene and concentrating on a secondary victim. Nice work."—Kirkus Reviews
"Manuel Muñoz's vividly suspenseful first novel is a fine blend of Hitchcock's chilly elegance with the sordid passions of James M. Cain: a dark, intimate, heartbreaking tale about four very different women, each one longing to escape the confines of her everyday life through the romantic illusions concocted by Hollywood. Their voices will haunt me for some time to come."—Julia Glass, author of The Widower's Tale and Three Junes
"Manuel Munoz has written a novel that is gripping to read and illuminating in what it says. What You See in the Dark begins with a sweet romance and a dark surprise, as it traces the winding path of violence in our dreamy American longings. How beautifully the pieces of this book fit together, and how radiantly original it is." —Joan Silber, author of Household Words and Ideas of Heaven

This seems like an easy one, but Birds is still my favorite. Every time I see a huge flock of birds I tell my wife to watch out.

The Birds. The way Hitchcock took a subject that was looked upon as harmless and turned it into a brilliant killer has my vote.

Oh, so many good movies to choose from – loved Vertigo and of course Psycho…but my favorite? Hands down: THE BIRDS
Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite Hitchcock movie by far is To Catch a Thief! I am a huge fan of old movies and Cary Grant and Grace Kelly are frequently my movie stars of choice. I love the weaving of romance and excitement To Catch a Thief has, as well as Hitchcock's typical suspense added in. I think what makes this movie so special for me, though, is the fact that I was introduced to it when I was rather young and feel in love with it. My dad and I always will watch it together while decorating gingerbread cookies at Christmas time and around Father's day. It is a fantastic movie, but I also love all the memories I have built around it. Regardless of how fancy the effects are in action movies today, or how novel a plot is conceived, nothing can beat Hitchcock's classics!

My favorite Hitchcock movie is Vertigo…love the psychological suspense and that it was filmed at San Juan Bautista near where I live in California.

Favorite Hitchcock movie is THE BIRDS. While all of them still hold up today even without the special effects this one has sentimental connection. Yep I said sentimental.
My dad and I used to watch this together in addition to other movies in this genre. It was just us and I got to stay up late to do so. THE BIRDS started it all so while it still creeps me out to this day it always will hold a dear place in my heart.

I like Marnie because it explores how our pasts can affect the present in myriad ways.

The first Hitchcock movie I ever saw was PSYCHO, and it remains my favorite. It scared the holy you-know-what out of me, and started me writing stories of my own. I try to watch it at least once a year, and it still never fails to make me jump out of my skin at least once.
12:31 pm
Alex V. Cook says...
ROPE, for those little bits where they focus on the curtains or the back of a chair so they could change the film reels and still have it all in one take. It undoes and builds up the idea of it being a film in one simple move, and then Jimmy Stewart's character does the same thing with relativist morality.
12:35 pm
margosita says...
Vertigo. I've also see The Birds and Physco, but both traumatized me at a young age. But Vertigo was interesting and thrilling.
12:38 pm
Deborah Combass says...
I have to go with Jamaica Inn — Charles Laughton and Maureen O'hara AND a Dauphne du Maurier book — what more could you want? oh yeah, Alfred Hitchcock 🙂 I just love du Maurier's works and this one, tho' lesser known than Rebecca (and even her short story which Hitchcock uses for The Birds so often mentioned here already)is one of my all-time faves.
12:43 pm
Teresa says...
I loved Rebecca both the book and the movie. I have read some great early reviews of this one and really want to read it. Thanks for the chance!
12:54 pm
Bonnie C. says...
It has to be The Birds… I still get a little freaked out when I see birds accumulating around a playground.
1:03 pm
Wendy Wishon says...
Either Rebecca or Vertigo. The beauty of the women…they just don't have stars like that any more.

Susan Bucharest says...
NORTH BY NORTHWEST – Just an all around spectacular film, great characters, huge cast of locales, twists and turns of plot, and atmospheric music. Additionally, there are great scenes on a train. I've seen it hundreds of times, my husband says I recite dialogue from it in my sleep. Though not technically a Hitchcock film, The Ghost Writer, has all the earmarks, and gives hope there will be more films made in the spirit of Hitchcock.
1:21 pm
Linda Johnson says...
Rear Window – hands down Grace Kelly, Jimmy Stewart and Raymond Burr. Perfect.
1:27 pm
Linda says...
Birds or Rear Window, I believe are two of my favorite Hitchcock films.
1:42 pm
Tammy Allen says...
Birds hands down. All of them are great for different reasons. The Birds is laugh-out-loud terrifying.
1:46 pm
Sulu says...
I loved Shadow of a Doubt, but my very favorite is The Birds. The eerie light, shadow, and sound effects are pretty amazing. Poor Tippi out on the water in that little john boat, and the bird starts out just divebombing at her blond coif, then pecking at the lapel of her smart jacket….just the beginning of a rocky horror birdie picture show! Also thanks, Al, for the giveaway..would love to read Munoz's novel.
2:17 pm
Rosejunkie (Cathy) says...
My favorite is The Birds….. this movie terrified me when I was young! I was 8 when it was released and to this day if a large flock of birds starts toward me I'm scared. I will never forget how it made me feel. I would love to read the Munoz book! Thank you.
2:49 pm
Sara says...
Hitchcock loved my favorite so much that he made it twice: THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH. The second version had Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day, and the unforgettable scene of Doris sitting at the piano and singing "Que sera, sera" in her loudest voice. I loved it as a child and love it now, though it is disconcerting to see the old-fashioned married relationship between Doris and Jimmy. Thanks for giving us a chance to get the Munoz book….

North by Northwest – I love Cary Grant and Mount Rushmore.
But The Birds totally freaks me out. I don't like birds. The movie didn't help.
3:36 pm
Ann Boles says...
I hate to echo everyone else, but The Birds is my favorite Hitchcock movie. This book sound like another winner from Algonquin. I'm looking forward to reading this first novel from a fellow Arizonan.
4:39 pm
Ami Kim says...
Loved Rear Window – scared by the Birds. I've never seen Psycho! Sounds like I need to get that.
4:45 pm
Lisa Peet says...
NOTORIOUS. You've got a bad girl gone good, the best screen kiss of the '40s, and tension — romantic and otherwise — that you could cut with a knife. Cary Grant hits all the right notes in this one. I want him to carry me down the stairs and whisk me away in a car, dammit.
5:05 pm
Matt says...
I want one. Munoz is a great writer.
My favorite Hitchcock movie has nothing to do with the movie itself, but everything to do with a great short story it inspired: Mark Richard's "The Birds at Christmas," in which the charity ward children DEMAND a viewing of The Birds.
PS…Any word on when the next installment of NEW STORIES FROM THE SOUTH is coming out? I always love this anthology.
5:53 pm
Ruthie B says...
Rear Window was the best but I still can't look at birds the same way!
7:03 am
Hira H. says...
I am not surprised a lot of people chose the movie "The Birds", if you've watched it, you know precisely why this particular title re-emerges as a favorite.
What makes Hitchcock so very special was the treatment of his movies – while others were busy doling out sound effects to add to the eeriness of the plot, Hitchcock , in his movie "The Birds", was experimenting with extended bouts of silence, and a movie without a musical score. Hitchcock played with pacing, at times he set the pace painstakingly slow, and at other times (especially with the Birds attacking) the pace was akin to a feverish frenzy. With these varying nuances, Hitchcock builds a tension so sublime, the audience feels more dread than a 6 year old on his first roller-coaster ride. Hitchcock's "The Birds" was cinematic genius, and an immensely engrossing movie, one which the audience can enjoy over and over again — for me, one of his utmost best.
Thank you so very much for a chance to win Munoz's "What You See in the Dark", can't wait to read it!
2:07 pm
Chris Roberts says...
The entirety that is Alfred Hitchcock's psyche can be found in his masterwork, "Rear Window." It is driven first by boredom, due to protagonist "Jeff" Jeffries' sedentary condition, followed by paraonia and ultimately, terror. Hitchcock weaves a palpable sense of claustrophobia into the story, both with the views through the binoculars of the villain Lars Thorwald and the seemingly shrinking apartment of the voyeur Jeff. Hitchcock blends the cerebral and emotion flawlessly in this classic film.

11 Real-Life Worst First Date Lines Ever
We're sharing cringe-worthy first date no-nos with you. Do they sound familiar?
|This post is brought to you by justWink. Cards just got awesome
The phrase, "First date" strikes terror into many a woman's heart. In some respects having a root canal without any painkillers is preferable to a first date. Many of us would prefer to just jump to the third — or sixth date. Happily, many good first dates lend themselves to second, third and even tenth dates. Then there's the flip side to the good first date–the really horrible one. At the time, they feel like the most mortifying experience on Earth. Later on, they become hilarious stories we tell our friends.
Read this roundup of now-funny (though at the time — horrendous) things guys have said to us on really, really, really and I do mean really, bad dates.
I was having a great dinner date with a guy. Just as we were about to order dessert, he says to me, "Are you looking for a serious relationship? Because I was kind of hoping for a No-Strings-Attached sort of thing." I turned to the waiter. "Check please."
-Tiffany Current, author of How to Move in with Your Boyfriend (and Not Break Up with Him)
"Yeah, I'm in sports marketing … I sell peanuts at Yankee Stadium."
-Maressa Brown, Staff Writer, The Stir
This one isn't a horror story by any means, but a guy once asked me as a total non-sequitur, "So why don't you have a boyfriend, anyway?" In and of itself, it's not a terribly offensive question; but something about the way it came out didn't sit right. Rude? Blunt? Yep. Besides, isn't asking that question one of the big no-nos of a first date? Ick.
-Lucia Peters, Associate Editor, BettyConfidential
During my dinner date he called his cousin to meet him for a drink afterwards. He said to me that he bought me a fruit tart and that was enough.

Nov. 12 career, college fair set
Elk River High School is hosting its first Career and College Fair from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, in the commons of Elk River High School.
This is an opportunity for students and parents to learn more about various careers and colleges and begin investigating personal career paths. Students in grades 9-12 and their parents are invited to attend.
There are more than 30 post-secondary programs that will be represented at the Career and College Fair, including community colleges, technical colleges, vocational schools and four-year colleges.
Career professionals and military representatives will also be there to offer information about their career fields. Some of the career fields include law, physical and occupational therapy, marketing, banking, business management, human resources, machinists, culinary and dietetic, drafting, journalism, merchandising, real estate, sales and education.
There will be a panel from 6-6:30 p.m. when admission representatives will explain the general admission process for two-year community colleges, technical colleges, four-year public, four-year private and out-state colleges.
"This is a great opportunity to learn the differences between post-secondary programs before heading out to the Fair," said Kim Davison, an Elk River High School guidance counselor and career and college specialist.
Math team beats
Crimson in first meet
The Elk River High School math team kicked off its year with a big win over its arch rival, Maple Grove, in its first meet.
The Elks, led by junior Jordan Haack, defeated the Crimson by 16 points. Haack got perfect scores on each of the tests that he took.
Other high scorers for Elk River were sophomore Alex Christensen, junior Hunter Gulbranson and senior Jacob Wisniewski.
Cecconi to talk about seeing schoolchildren and not tax burdens
Mary Cecconi, the executive director of Parents United for Public Schools, will speak from 7-8:30 p.m. Nov. 13 in community room at Elk River High School.
The title of her talk will be: "When did we stop seeing school kids and start seeing tax burdens?"
The Elk River Area School District's Legislative Action Team and Parent Involvement Committee are hosting the talk. Members of these two groups are asking the public to attend to become educated and engaged advocates for public education.
Her presentation has been designed to dispel the myths behind the funding of public education and see the realities of what public schools are facing.
Cecconi has championed children as a teacher, school board member, parent volunteer, levy campaign chair, statewide legislative committee member and volunteer parent lobbyist.
She will offer her insights on how people can take action and get involved in the Elk River Area School District to advocate, communicate and organize to bring a collective voice to community leaders and elected officials.
Parents United for Public Schools exists to unite and empower those who value public education in Minnesota to be strong advocates for excellence in public schools, according to a press release.

Judge waits to drop charges against Jason Warren
EUREKA- A Humboldt County Judge said he will wait to make his decision on motions in the case involving double murder suspect Jason Anthony Warren. The defense filed motions to the court to dismiss counts two through four, which is the felony murder charge for the death of Suzanne Seemann and the two attempted murders of the other joggers.
The defense argued that their is not enough evidence for Warren to be accused of intentionally killing Seeman and injuring the two joggers. Warren's attorney, Kevin Robinson, argued that the court did not have enough information on the crash to determine if other factors, such as weather or the state of the driver, to determine if he intended to kill the women.
District Attorney Paul Gallegos said Warren intentionally struck the joggers and had crossed the street in order to hit them.
Judge John T. Feeney said he wanted to spend time reviewing the evidence and consider both arguments before making his decision. Warren will appear in court again on April 9th and the judge is expected to make his decision by then.

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - A Central Florida school board has decided to keep a world history textbook that some parents wanted pulled from classes because they say it offers a pro-Islamic worldview.
The board made its decision Monday after hearing four hours of public comment.
The Daytona Beach News-Journal reports the board didn't take a formal vote after hearing from some 80 speakers. Only board member Linda Costello pushed for a more thorough review.
School board Chairwoman Diane Smith gave the book a vote of confidence and members Candace Lankford, Stan Schmidt and Ida Wright agreed it should remain in classrooms.
The controversy erupted in early November after a Deltona High parent complained about the book's treatment of the Islamic religion.
Supporters say it's important to teach students about all religions.

• didactic •
Pronunciation: dai-dæk-tik • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Instructive, intended to instruct, especially sententiously or dogmatically. 2. Instructive in a rigidly dogmatic way; preachy, doctrinaire.
Notes: Today's word refers to the opposite of Open Learning, the most popular examples of which are the Socratic and Montessori methods. It originally referred to teaching a rigidly defined core of base principles which later learning would expand. Didactic comes with a small but active family. The abstract noun is didacticism and the personal noun is didactician. It comes with an adverb, too: didactically.
In Play: Didactic has moved away from the meaning "instructive" toward a focus on one style of instruction, instructing dogmatically: "US films on politics tend to be didactic and preachy, the writer and director taking one side of an issue in an obvious way." Michael Moore is a US director who does nothing but didactic films.
Word History: Today's Good Word comes from (where else?) French didactique. French picked it up from Greek didaktikos "skillful at teaching", from didaktos "taught", the past participle of didaskein "teach, instruct". The prefix is made up of the initial letter of dak-, D, plus an I, a process known in linguistics as 'reduplication'. It was used to indicate the perfective aspects of Greek verbs. The root of this word is the Proto-Indo-European root dens- "to receive, accept, learn", which came to Latin as discere "to learn". Don't ask how dens- became dak-. (Jay Gilliam suggested today's Good Word in a way that is didactic in the original sense of the word.)

Re: BIJOU
Two other things I remember about the drive-in was (1) the big, chunky looking speaker you had to hang from the driver's side window so you could hear the movie and (2) the big children's playground area located right under the big movie screen. My family would get there early enough so us kids could play at the playground while we waited for it to get dark enough to see the movie. The thought of child abduction and/or playground injury never even entered our minds. Simpler times! Thanks for the memories.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I'm going to change myself. -- Rumi
Re: BIJOU
We had two drive-in movie screens [there's another regional good word distinction: drive-in movie or outdoor theater ?] facing each other. Local pundits noted that a "family-friendly" choice would be playing on the one the family car was parked art, while the dads watched the "R" film on the other screen in the rear view mirror.
There was considerable superstitious excitement when a lightening bolt fried the "kid's movie" screen one night -- leaving The Exorcist to continue playing unscathed...

Re: BIJOU
In earlier times many movies were shown in a building during the winter and outdoor, walk not drive in, in the summer. My wife's grandfather owned such a movie business in Oklahoma and my parents attended the picture show under the stars when they were young. Drive in movies were popular in my youth, but I cannot imagine why. In South Texas the summer temperature is often over 100 deg F way after dark. The Rialto Theater was the first air conditioned building in my home town.
It is dark at night, but the Sun will come up and then we can see.

Mean Betty On Chris Brown's Take On His 'Incident' With Rihanna
Beating up a woman is not a 'mishap' honey.
-Mean Betty
Chris Brown – the name always makes Mean Betty slightly queasy, but now his latest comments have really gotten Mean Betty's panties in a bunch. In a new interview, promoting his new album, Mr. Brown discusses his own infamy and sorry to say, comes across rather self-centered; but then again we didn't expect much out of him anyway, now did we kittens?
Of his rocky past abusing his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, Chris says, "People are always gonna talk. But I'm in a positive place. I consider myself a grown-ass man." Come again?! A "grown-ass man?" A man who is allegedly "grown-ass" or whatever Chris is trying to say, probably wouldn't use that word anyway to describe himself.
Chris complains that after his domestic violence incident, many people "turned away. They don't want to get involved with it because they don't want their name attached to anything negative. Unknowingly, they kind of show their true colors when they do that."
They showed their true colors?! Ha! You showed your true colors Chrissy boy when you were wearing BRIGHT ORANGE and doing roadside cleanup as part of your punishment for beating a woman!
Chris describes that incident with Rihanna as merely a "mishap." A "mishap" is when Mean Betty doesn't get enough vodka in her dirty martini and has to flag down a hot shirtless waiter to top her off – but leaving pretty RiRi black and blue, that Mean Betty has some other choice words for!

- Swooping down in a hurry to battle that rare pet before anyone else gets it only to find:
- The pet is level 1 and you forgot you've got all your level 25s in your team
- The pet is level 20 and you forgot you've got your level 2-6 team which you were using to catch that low level pet
- You forgot to revive after that last battle and you only have one pet alive and it has 20% health
- Your pet which never crits decides to crit and kill the thing you're trying to capture
- You go to battle a Master tamer for the daily and the bag and
- You've forgotten to change the spells of your pets to the optimum ones
- You've forgotten to take out the right pets for this master
- You swear, the computer selects their pet AFTER it knows what you're going to put out
- Oh come on, 5 misses with a strong trap? You have got to be kidding me...
- You are trying to level your lowbie pet by getting it carried with high level pets (battling high level pets) and you forgot to bring it out before you killed the last one and therefore got no experience for any of your pets.
- Missing 3 times in a row when you thought you were going to win and you get slaughtered
- Getting all your pets killed while trying to get that rare pet
- Having 2 or 3 rares in the group you are battling, and trying to figure out which one to catch when you don't have any of them rare
- Finally finding a rare pet to capture and then realising you forgot to release the other 3 you had caught so you can't catch it
- Realising there must not be any skill to pet battling at all when you watch your 4 year old daughter randomly press 1 to 4, and still manage to kill the opposing pets.
- Battling someone with the same pet and the same level and your attacks all miss and theirs all hit...
- You land next to a pet to battle it, pull agro on some other NPC in the near vicinity, you fight it and then accidentally kill the battle pet you wanted to battle with an aoe attack you did on the NPC.

Minipost: Frustrating things about Pet Battles
12 comments:
I had a habit of killing critters as I move through zones, and thought it was nice that they now show-up as green paws on the map.ReplyDelete
I can find them faster now. :) Just kidding.Replies
LOL Andrew! You know, that doesn't surprise me... you death and decay bringer :)Delete
- AnonymousNovember 27, 2012 at 10:45 PM
I can relate to all of those.ReplyDelete
Oh good, I'm not the only one!Delete
OMG! All of these! Well, except for the four year old daughter one at least I'm spared that one. And I can't believe how long it took me to just forfeit when I had the wrong team. I used to let my poor low level team get murdered because I didn't want to forfeit. What was that about, lol.ReplyDeleteReplies
I know, I am a big forfeiter now when I see I haven't put my heal on for my pets! Lucky there's no penalty.Delete
I've encountered all the same problems also...minus:ReplyDelete
" *Finally finding a rare pet to capture and then realising you forgot to release the other 3 you had caught so you can't catch it"
I'm super anal about having more than one of any pet in my list. Now that I reached the "400 pets" mark that might change. If I feel I want to torture myself bad enough I might go and start trying to capture pets with different Breed IDs.
" *Realising there must not be any skill to pet battling at all when you watch your 4 year old daughter randomly press 1 to 4, and still manage to kill the opposing pets."
I have no children.
" *Battling someone with the same pet and the same level and your attacks all miss and theirs all hit..."
I no longer do the PvP battles. I got turned off PvP battles a while ago. I got sick of getting so many fights where other people were stacking low level pets with one high level pet and slaughtering my teams. RNG must really hate me because even when I would try to "stack the deck" in my favor the opponent would be stacked better and I'd still lose. :o(Replies
I have also not had the 3 pets full thing as I too am quite fussy about my pet numbers - it was something a friend of mine told me that she had done and it made me feel bad for her but it is something easy to do!Delete
All of the Above!ReplyDelete
Don't forget the "Duh" moment of realizing "I forgot I could just Forfeit! All that time wasted when I knew I had nothing to gain"
How about flying to a stable master for a quick heal, but forgetting you're on your Hordie and all these angry Alliance types have just killed you?Replies
Oh yes! I have done that, fighting till I get my ass kicked and think, hey I could have just forfeited that!Delete
My most frustrating pet battle moment was finally finding a rare pet that I've been looking for and just getting it low enough to catch when I get ganked by some hordie. So I get yanked from battled and my toon dies. Pvp servers, what's not to love?ReplyDeleteReplies
OMG how stressful! It must be AWFUL around Minfernal...Delete

In this article
When can I start to lose weight?Your midwife probably won't recommend that you start to lose weight straight after you've given birth. Your body needs time to recover from having your baby. So you may want to wait until you've had your postnatal check with your GP before you think about losing weight. Your check will usually happen between six weeks and eight weeks after you've had your baby.
How can I lose weight safely?Eat healthily, including plenty of fruit and vegetables in your meals. Drink water throughout the day to stay well hydrated and choose the right snacks. As well helping you lose weight at a healthy pace, it will also make sure you have the energy to adjust to life with your newborn (NHS Choices 2011).
These tips will help you to achieve and maintain a healthy weight:
- Make time for breakfast in the morning.
- Eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
- Include plenty of fibre-rich foods such as oats, beans, lentils, grains and seeds in your meals.
- Include starchy foods such as bread, rice and pasta (preferably wholegrain varieties for added fibre) in every meal.
- Go easy on fatty and sugary foods, takeaways, fast food, sweets, cakes, biscuits, pastries and fizzy drinks.
- Watch your portion sizes at mealtimes, and the number and type of snacks you eat between meals (NHS Choices 2011, Nice 2010: 7).
Combining healthy eating with exercise will be the most effective (Amorim Adegboye et al 2013, NICE 2008), because it helps you to lose fat instead of lean tissue. You will also improve your fitness levels (Amorim Adegboye et al 2013).
What exercise can I do?Finding the time to fit exercise into your daily life, now that you have a newborn, can be tricky. But it's not impossible, as long as you make it a priority.
You can start to do some gentle exercise such as walking, pelvic floor exercises and stretching, as soon as you feel up to it. However, you should wait six weeks or so, or until you feel that you've recovered from the birth, before taking up more strenuous exercise (Nice 2010: 15, RCOG 2006).
Or you could exercise with your baby. Take your baby for walks in her pushchair, or try a pram-based exercise class. Find your nearest Buggyfit class here. Group classes are also a great way to meet other mums, and the fresh air may also help to lift your mood.
How many calories do I need?How many calories you need depends on your current weight, how active you are, and whether or not you are breastfeeding.
It can be difficult to lose weight after having a baby, but try to lose the weight you gained during your pregnancy before you try for another baby. This is especially important if you were overweight or obese to begin with, or if you gained a lot of weight during your pregnancy.
It may surprise you to know that even a small weight gain of one or two BMI units between pregnancies can increase the risk of complications in your next pregnancy. Complications include high blood pressure and gestational diabetes (Ehrlich et al 2011), as well as increasing your likelihood of giving birth to a big baby and having a stillbirth (Nice 2010: 15, Villamor and Cnattingius 2015).
If you were a healthy weight in your first pregnancy and gain at least two BMI units before your next pregnancy, your baby is at risk after the birth too. Maintaining a healthy weight, or losing weight if you are overweight, will reduce these risks (Villamor and Cnattingius 2015).
Losing the extra weight you've gained after you've had a baby may also help you to manage your weight in the longer term, and to keep the weight off (Linne et al 2003). It will pay off in the long run in wider health terms, as keeping your weight under control also cuts your risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and some cancers (NICE 2010).
Does breastfeeding affect weight loss?If you are breastfeeding, you should wait until you and your baby have got the hang of it before you start to lose weight.
You'll need slightly more calories than if you were formula feeding your baby. You'll need around an extra 330 calories a day to have the energy to produce milk. However, some of these additional energy needs will be met from your body's existing fat stores (Nice 2010: 22).
This means that breastfeeding can help you to lose weight if you avoid taking in the extra calories required for breastfeeding, while eating healthily and staying active (Rooney and Schauberger 2002). Breastfeeding may even help you to keep your weight off in the longer term (Bobrow et al 2012).
It's safe to lose weight when breastfeeding if you lose it gradually (SOGC/CSEP 2003). Losing between 0.5kg and 1kg (1lb to 2lb) a week shouldn't affect the quality or supply of your milk, or your baby's growth (AND 2012, Daley et al 2012, More 2009, SOGC 2003, NHS Choices 2011, NICE 2008, 2010). Losing weight gradually will also make it more likely to stay off in the long run.
When will my body be back to normal?Give yourself time to get back in shape, and don't despair if the weight doesn't fall off immediately. Ignore stories of celebrities getting back into shape a few weeks after childbirth. Such quick weight loss is unrealistic for the average new mum, so take a more gradual approach.
Bear in mind that your body may change shape after pregnancy, and returning to your exact pre-pregnancy weight or shape may be difficult.
As long as you feel healthy and ready, as a rough guide, you should aim to return to your pre-pregnancy weight by the time your baby is about six months old (Amorim Adegboye et al 2013). If you're finding it takes longer than this, don't give yourself a hard time. Just set yourself a target of getting to the weight you want by your baby's first birthday.
While it's important to focus on your health it is also important not to set yourself unachievable goals. One study showed that only about four out of 10 mums had lost their pregnancy weight by the time their babies were six months (Rooney 2002).
If you put on a lot of weight during your pregnancy, it will take longer to come off. If you'd like some help with losing weight, talk to your GP or health visitor about exercise or weight-management classes in your area. Joining a class can help to motivate you and you'll meet other people in the same situation as you.

Demolition Set to Start in St. John, MOPosted on January 4th, 2013 7 comments
B.E.L.T. reader George McNatt left a comment that this building at Brown and St. Charles Rock Road is going to be demolished. All of the buildings connected to it are coming down as well, starting this January 2013.
Here's backstory on McCarty Studio.
And why are these buildings coming down?
If I told you there was a Walgreens on the opposite corner, could you get the answer with one guess?
CVS was unsuccessful in Fergsuon (backstory here) and was shot down twice in the Central West End (both buildings spared from CVS demo are listed in this story). Guess they fared better in St. John, eh?
George also reports that they are tearing down the building on the southeast corner of this intersection (map here) to put up a McDonald's. Considering they are reportedly going in on the site of the former State Bank of Wellston once it comes down, McDonald's looks to have a strong first quarter of 2013.
Retro Storefront in St. JohnPosted on June 28th, 2009 13 comments
Intersection of Brown Road & St. Charles Rock Road
St. John, MO
The McCarty Studios building tells its story with one glance. The building originally went up in 1940, 5 years before St. John was incorporated as a village. The flashy new front facade – by my best guess – went on right around the time streetcars were losing ground to automobiles in the late 1950s.
Along with a house catty corner from it at this intersection, it is the only original building left. The Walgreens sits across the street from McCarty because they tore down the streetcar shed in 1961. The remaining corner has a commercial building that is classic early 1960s Institutional Modern (and now even houses the St. John City Hall).
The McCarty Studios made the architectural leap to be modern during a time when this inner-ring suburb of St. Louis County was booming with activity, they have stood pat ever since and have unwittingly become a retro curio of the recent past.
I love that when they renovated the facade to reflect the new glamor of car culture, they chose to keep their 1948 vintage neon sign. This decision was most likely based on economics: we're paying a bundle for this remodel – why pay even more money when we have a perfectly good sign?
When working in camera retail several years ago, I used to wait on one of the McCarty sons, and just had to tell him how much I adored their building and sign, and how glad I was that they hadn't remodeled it into the fake stucco box fast-food look so common in today's retail upgrades.
He responded that they keep meaning to get a new sign but just haven't got around to it. I probably spooked the poor man by passionately trying to convince him to not touch anything on that building because its retro distinctiveness was their very best form of 24-hour marketing. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Here we are 5 years later, and all pieces remains in tact. Here's hoping they continue to remain so busy that they don't have time to think about remodeling!

A Trowbridge woman caged for stabbing her lover during a drink-fuelled attack can have no complaint about her murder conviction, top judges have ruled.
Louise Jane Cox, 46, of Newtown, admitted knifing Ian Graham, 51, at his Stallard Street flat, in Trowbridge, during a drunken spat, but insisted it was a case of self-defence.
She was, however, handed a life sentence - with a minimum jail term of 14 years - at Bristol Crown Court, in May, 2013, after a jury found her guilty of murder.
Today, three of the country's most senior judges at London's Appeal Court rejected a conviction challenge by Cox. The court will give reasons for its decision at a later date.
Mr Graham suffered a 12cm-deep wound after he was stabbed with a kitchen knife on November 20, 2012.
An ambulance was called but he was pronounced dead after he being rushed to the Royal United Hospital, in Bath.
After carrying out out the fatal, drunken attack at Mr Graham's Beaufort Mansions home, Cox fled but was arrested by police at Trowbridge railway station.
Prosecutor Michael Fitton QC said today that Cox had told officers in an interview immediately after the attack: "When I stuck that knife in that bloke, I loved every minute of it. That's how you get rid of weirdos."
However, Cox's defence at trial was that she had only stabbed Mr Graham in a bid to fend off an abusive attack.
Her lawyers today argued that Cox's defence was unfairly prejudiced by the decision of trial judge, Judge Neil Ford QC, to allow the prosecution to adduce evidence of previous offences she had committed which involved a knife.
But Lord Justice Beatson, sitting with Mr Justice Holroyde and Mrs Justice Carr, concluded today's hearing by saying: "The appeal will be dismissed, we will give our reasons as soon as we can."
The judges will hand down a detailed explanation of the court's decision at an unspecified future date.

NVIDIA Announces Fall GeForce Game Bundles - Batman: Arkham Origins & New Free-To-Playby Ryan Smith on 8/30/2013 12:00 PM EST

boozed - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkTheir "bundle" is one game?
bun·dle [buhn-dl]
a number of things considered together
And the reward tiers don't even make sense. GG Nvidia. Reply
boozed - Friday, August 30, 2013 - linkHmm, this made much more sense in my head than it does when written down. Reply
jimbo2779 - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkI came to post the same thing. A bundle suggests more than one game.
Worst bit is that they are neglecting the most expensive cards as well. Compared to AMDs bundle this is a bit of a steaming pile. Reply
WallySimmonds - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkYeah, given you can get a 7950 with Never settle for less...pretty average from Nvidia. Reply
Klimax - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkBecause value of that bundle is not that great either... (more or less equivalent - new game versus old games which already all seen discounts over summer) Reply
TerdFerguson - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkI agree that it's a pretty crappy bundle, albeit better than their f2p bundle. However, I think it can legitimately be called a bundle because they are bundling a game with a video board. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkBundle is multiple things. A game plus a card. Hence, bundle. Reply
boozed - Sunday, September 01, 2013 - linkIndeed Reply
nemi2 - Sunday, September 01, 2013 - linkThing #1 a graphics card
Thing #2 a game Reply
HisDivineOrder - Saturday, August 31, 2013 - linkJust like with this last program with Splinter Cell Blacklist, I fully expect that nVidia will replace this one with an AC4-based program a couple weeks after Arkham Origins release. Coincidentally, that should be right around when the new Radeons are hitting mass availability if rumors are to be believed. Reply
marc1000 - Monday, September 02, 2013 - linknew radeons will be available on a couple weeks, but I needed the best 150W gpu right now. so I went with a gtx660, and the game was a nice bonus. the 7850 is < 150w but is slower, and the 7870/7950 requires more power, so no AMD card would fit for me this time (my case is small and the radeon boards in this clategory are bigger too).
and I'm a supporter of ATI/AMD, owned 4 radeons in a row until today (9000, x1300, hd3850, hd5770). but this time they took too long to launch new products and the previous family was not as power-efficient as Nvidia. even knowing of dx 11.1 or 11.2 questions, I never had a problem using a DX10 card until recently (it is running on my girlfriend computer right now), so technical detais are not so important. size, power and loudness are more important on the same level of performance. Reply
Loremonger - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkI have been waiting for this. I did the same deal with Arkham City. I'm going to buy the game anyway. And I always stick to ~$200.00 cards, so it's a pretty good deal in my book. Reply
Casecutter - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkI not sure the statement the "7850 is < 150w" is accurate. From most inputs I find 7850 were designed as 130W TDP, while the GTX660 is at 140W TDP. Given that you are correct the GTX 660 in factory OC will in most titles out-muster the 7850. But, when you pull power usage from several different title's you find that Boost clock does change, and if you look at performance/watts for many of those titles there not so much of a difference between what they offer in that matrix.
But here's what's noteworthy as the GTX 660 in most case can't provide increasing the settings, while not a noticeable difference in game play, although wins in FPS graphs... the obligatory 20% premium exacted isn't as electrifying! You pay more in price and power for little if any difference in the immersive experience. But given the 150W threshold and need for a smaller package, it was the best choice faced with such limitations. Reply

For nearly a century or more, most of the egg sets in the Zoology Department have been stored in open topped, single-walled, cardboard boxes. They were like fragile little sardines, clacking against one another; not the safest way to store eggs. The only difference is that unlike sardines, eggshells are among the most fragile objects in the entire Museum.
An example of these former storage conditions is shown here with ZO.2061. It is an egg clutch from a redhead duck (Aythya americana). These specimens were collected in May 1914 from the Bear River Marshes in Box Elder County, Utah.
An enthusiastic team, the "Egg Craters," has been working on rehousing egg sets and nests. Check this site for future installments on their progress.

Giambattista Valli Fall 2012 Couture
Giambattista Valli was thinking of "two parts of a garden—a flower garden and a nymphaea," or a water lily pond like the one Monet cultivated and painted in his magical scenes, powerfully evoking the idea of light spangling the water's surface.
There was an embarrassment of blossoming patterns, often in shimmering chinés—some of them had contrasting prints in the linings or used the same pattern in different fabrics for the same dress, like airy organza or chiffon veiling blistered satin.
"Couture is a moment when you go really far from fashion," Valli explained, "It's really another thing." Instead, he used his runway show to focus on evening clothes that incorporated exceptional fabric embellishment and turned his girls into flower fairies, with their faces framed in giant ruffled petals.
Real butterfly specimens kissed the veiled lips of Valli's mannequins or lit up in their hair, whilst gilded ones perched on the twisting branches that formed the waist-cinching belts or collars created by jeweler Luigi Scialanga.
Valli's exquisite flowery decorations included a skirt made from a tracery of appliquéd ivy leaves, maple leaf-shaped lace cutouts, or another scattered with hundreds of dainty organza carnation blooms.
The shimmering impression of those Monet nymphaeas was ravishingly evoked by layering flower-print organza over patterned lamé, and there was drama in an evening coat composed of feathers in shades of leaf green and in the asymmetrically draped evening dress of blush mauve chiffon, ruffled like an opening early-summer rose.

|Make the Switch to Excel 2013
Watch these videos to make the switch to Excel 2013. Get started with the new version to see how to do everyday tasks.
|Beginner: Create your first Workbook
Learn how to use Excel 2013. Get started with the new version to see how to do everyday tasks.
|Beginner: Basic Math in Excel 2013
Let Excel be your Calculator. Take this course to learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide using formulas and functions.
|Beginner: Add Numbers in Excel 2013
See how Excel 2013 makes it easy to add numbers using formulas, buttons, and functions (such as the SUM and SUMIF functions).
|Beginner: Create a Chart
Charts provide a visual representation of your data, making it easier to analyze. Each type of chart highlights data differently. And some charts can't be used with some types of data.
|Beginner: Freeze or Lock Panes
You want to scroll down and see your rows of data, but when you get to the bottom of the screen, your column names in the top row have disappeared. To fix this, you freeze the top row so that it's always visible.
|Beginner: Top Tips for Working in Excel Online
Use Excel Online to change the formatting of numbers and text to help make your information stand out. And see 3 ways to quickly add numbers, too.
|Beginner: Understand and Use Cell References
One of the key things you'll calculate in Excel are values in cells, the boxes you see in the grid of an Excel worksheet. Each cell is identified by its reference—the column letter and row number that intersect at the cell's location. When you use cell references in a formula, Excel calculates the answer automatically using the numbers in the referenced cells.
|Beginner: Use Autofill and Flash Fill
Sometimes you need to enter a lot of repetitive information in Excel, such as dates, and it can be really tedious. But the AutoFill feature can help. AutoFill and Flash Fill are tremendous time savers, and in this course, we'll cover them in more detail.
|Intermediate: Add or Subtract Time
You can add and subtract time in Excel almost like you subtract other types of numbers. For example, you might do this if you want to know how long it took to complete a project's tasks. The one exception is that Excel doesn't support a negative number formatted as time.
|Intermediate: Average a Group of Numbers
When you need to find an average, you can click a button, or use a function in a formula. The AutoSum button lets you find the average in a column or row of numbers where there are no blank cells. Use the AVERAGE or the AVERAGEIF functions to find the average of numbers that aren't in a contiguous row or column. And use the SUMPRODUCT and the SUM functions to find a weighted average, which depends on the weight that's applied to the values.
|Intermediate: Insert Headers and Footers
You can add headers to the top and footers to the bottom of a worksheet. When you print the worksheet, the headers and footers also print. For example, you might create a header with the file path and a footer with page numbers. Headers and footers display only in Page Layout view and on printed pages. Take this quick course to learn more.
|Intermediate: Sort and Filter Data
Excel is an amazing tool for analyzing data. And Sort and Filter are some of the most commonly used features to help you. To change the order of your data, you'll want to sort it. To focus on a specific set of your data, you can filter a range of cells or a table. Take this course to learn more.
|Intermediate: Use Conditional Formatting
It can be hard to get a lot of meaning out of numbers in a worksheet. But Excel provides a bunch of ways to quickly analyze your data using conditional formatting. For example, you can use a color scale to differentiate high, medium, and low temperature values.
|Intermediate: Take Conditional Formatting to the Next Level
In the course Use conditional formatting, we covered the basics of conditional formatting. Here, we'll go a few steps further and see how to apply conditional formatting to cells, tables, PivotTables, and worksheets. For example, to quickly conditionally format cells, you can use a Quick Analysis option or an option on the Conditional Formatting button in the ribbon. We'll also use formulas to apply conditional formatting, and learn how to edit and delete rules using the Conditional Formatting Rules Manager.
|Intermediate: VLOOKUP – When and How to use it
Learn how to use the VLOOKUP function to find data in a large spreadsheet, and on other worksheets in a large workbook. These videos explain each of the VLOOKUP arguments, and mistakes to avoid.
|Advanced: Advanced IF Functions
Take this course to learn complex examples and variations of the IF function in Excel, including nested IF functions, IF with AND and OR, COUNTIFS and SUMIFS, and AVERAGEIFS and IFERROR.
|Advanced: Create and Manage Drop-Down Lists
You can make a worksheet more efficient by providing drop-down lists. Someone using your worksheet clicks an arrow, and then clicks an entry in the list. Take this course to learn more about how best to use and manage them.
|Advanced: PivotTables
Learn what a PivotTable and PivotCharts are and how you can use them to summarize and analyze data in Excel 2013.
|Advanced: Password Protect Workbooks and Worksheets
Your Excel workbook or worksheets contain sensitive strategic data, so you want to require others to enter a password to open them. Or you can share the data freely with anyone without requiring a password, but require a password to make changes. Take this short course to find out more.
|Advanced: Print Worksheets and Workbooks
Print Excel worksheets and workbooks one at a time, or several at one time. You can also print a partial worksheet, such as an Excel table.
|Advanced: Work with Macros
You want to automate a repetitive task in Excel so that you can do the task again with a single click. The best way to do that? Record a macro. And the macro recorder is the easiest way to create a new macro in Excel. Take this course to learn more.

Those are definitely great ideas.
Why can't Apple hire these guys instead? I'm sure they could've made iOS the way people would want it to be. I find hackers who make iOS better, idealist.
Also anyone can get a preliminary injunction in Europe, if I wanted I could stop Apple from selling iPhones, I don't think you understand how the legal system works in the EU.
Also can we shut up about people coping each other, its pathetic, are you going to say Lockheed Martin copied BAE Systems on their plane designes?
In no way am I putting down the creators of these ideas. I could never make one of these so I give props to those that have the talent and ability to do this!
My only argument is these companies/individuals calling it an iOS 5 concept. Unless they have factual proof that these features WILL BE INCLUDED in the next iOS or next iDevice, then these need to be labeled something like:
'iOS XX' or 'iOS ?' concept videos
instead of iOS 5, iOS 6, etc. It gives readers false hope in thinking that these awesome tweaks 'might' be coming in the next update.
Idk, just my two cents....
Here's some other concepts from pre-WWDC 2011: Rumor: Widgets, better notifications headed to iOS 5 | Apple Talk - CNET News
They make the iPhone the way they want NOT the way the people want.
When the jailbreak app becomes extremely popular then Apple steal it and make it part of the iOS.
The only way to get these features part of the iOS is for someone to make a jailbreak app of it then Apple will eventually steal it and add it.
Apple cant think for themselves thats why they dont add any original features or features the people want. They make it the way they want and they dont care about the people.
As I always say in my signature, Apple want clones not customers. Thats why they dont do anything we want.
Asking crapple to do this, it like asking crapple for a free ipod/iphone/ipad? NEVER gonna happen. Hope the jailbreak community can do it is a more of a reality, then crapple free gifts? Hope those cracker working under crapple can do this instead of finding way to block jailbreak. "jailbreak is legit and legal"... CRAPPLE has no brains in their skull$ but $$$...
Answering calls won't be as easy with the phone notification concept. The phone/FT part of the iOS should take preference over everything else, right? :-)
I miss notifications in the betas, and I'm sure I'll miss a call or three with that concept. It's a nice option, but let's hope it isn't the default if Apple implements it.
The voice control/transcription concept is very nice! That should have been the way Apple made Voice Control in the first place, even down to the status bar look. Look at how they do in-call bar...
The OSX integration method looks more polished than the GriP method we have now. It would be a nice addition.
iMessage on OSX seems to be a no-brainer. I'd expect a FaceTime or iChat update to implement iMessage at the same time as or soon after iOS5 GM.
The icons concept look nice, but I'd have to admit that in practice that would be negating the new notification center. So I wouldn't expect this until iOS 7.

8 Refreshingly Organic Beers
Sure, the bleacher seats at Wrigley Field are still awash in Bud Light, but the Second City's craft-brew scene is overflowing — and still expanding. Across the street from the ballpark, Goose Island's Wrigleyville brewpub pours everything from its easy-drinking Green Line Pale Ale, a new brew, to its knock-you-on-your-ass Bourbon County Stout, which weighs in at 13.5 percent alcohol by volume. In the Wicker Park neighborhood, Piece is worth a visit for its exceptional, New Haven-style pizzas and house-made beers (I dig the award-winning Golden Arm, a German-style kolsch). At the Publican restaurant in the West Loop, Cicerone-certified servers — the equivalent of wine sommeliers — oversee a beer list that includes worldly selections from Belgium, Germany, and France, as well as local options from Chicago's Metropolitan Brewing Co. and Indiana's Three Floyds Brewing Co.
There's a reason that brewers and beer fanatics descend upon Denver each year for the Great American Beer Festival: It's smack-dab in the center of craft-beer country. Despite being in Coors's back yard, brewpubs and beer bars here often pour the very best Colorado has to offer, from New Belgium in Fort Collins to Ska and Steamworks in Durango. Wynkoop Brewing Co. operates Denver's oldest brewpub, established in 1988, which has beers and food to make anyone happy. If you like it hot, try Wynkoop's house-brewed Patty's Chile Beer, a light German-style beer made with Anaheim chiles and smoked Ancho peppers. You also can't go wrong at the Falling Rock Taphouse, located half a block from Coors Field. With more than 75 beers on tap and scores more in bottles, drinking locally isn't the challenge — it's getting through everything that you'll have trouble with.
