Stoic Merino Comp Shirt - Long Sleeve
The Stoic Merino Comp Shirt is a comfortable shirt that wicks moisture extremely well. It keeps you warm or cool as needed. The fabric has the right amount of stretch, and it's machine washable. This has been my go-to shirt for snowshoeing over the past three winters. With a silkweight base layer underneath it and a wind and rain shell on top I'm comfortable snowshoeing in temps around -10°F because my sweat isn't making me cold. Wearing just this shirt while out hiking around a cedar swamp with… Full review
ExOfficio Men's Sol Cool Crew Long Sleeve Shirt
I'm generally a huge fan of ExOfficio clothing, but maybe not this time. Perhaps I'm expecting too much, a shirt that can actually keep me cooler in East Texas summer heat, but that is what the mfg description claims. But under most summer conditions here, it ain't happenin'. Imagine my excitement when I read about this magic shirt that claims to not only protect the wearer from the sun's rays, but can actually keep you cooler in summer heat than std summer wear. I spend a fair amount of time… Full review
Outdoor Research Echo L/S Zip Tee
Thinnest, lightest, most breathable long sleeve shirt. Deep zip adds a lot to usability. Bit fragile. Thin Grid: I live in Japan, where the humidity adds a lot of warmth in the summers, and cold in the winters. Trekking in the summers can be grueling — and I'm always on the lookout for very thin shirts that breathe well. Two of my favourite shirts are the Montura Run Zip Maglia l/s, a strong runner shirt with more spandex (less quick drying), and OR's Echo Zip l/s. The OR Echo Zip shirt… Full review
Terramar Men's Helix Half-Zip Shirt
Works well when worn in conjunction with other layers. This is a base layer and when combined with short sleeved shirt underneath and rain shell or down on top, you'll be prepared for most situation This is a base layer, but should not be confused with layers such as Under Armour necessarily. This is not skin tight, but does hug the body more than other layers may. When I wear this with a shirt (perhaps on cooler mornings) or with a shirt and jacket (those 40 degree days), it works well. I am… Full review
Ibex Men's Hooded Indie
A lightweight layering piece with a versatile and expansive temperature range...easily one of my favorite pieces of clothing...and a reliable companion on my many adventures. Ibex Hooded Indie In my closet things are basically settled and calm in the base-layer and shell regions...in these areas of my closet everyone knows their place...Pax Romana...and I hardly give a second thought to what piece is going with me when the time comes to pack and go. The mid-layer region however is much less settled...it… Full review

Ibex Men's Hooded Indie
An incredibly versatile layer for the backcountry. I was looking for a lightweight warm layer for a backpacking night shirt, for cold morning walks, and for outdoor activities in the winter. Have been a fan of Ibex for a long time, and ran across a good deal on this, so took the bait and ordered it. Fit is spot on... cozy without being too snug. It provides just the right level of warmth for cool evenings in the Sierra, or cold aerobic activities anytime of the year. It is warm when you need it,… Full review
Starter Long-Sleeve Dri-Star Shirt
Simple...Cheap...Functional...Walmart Performance Top! So I've been trying to add reviews that you don't normally see on websites such as TS...reviewing gear that I think is better suited for the average or budget camper...than the UL or BoBo hiker. The Dri-Star performance tops (both short and long-sleeve) by Starter is one of my favorite pieces of budget clothing...and I believe it stands toe-to-toe with my Patagonia and TNF tops...if not above them! Sure Patagonia and TNF have a few more… Full review
ExOfficio Men's Sol Cool Crew Long Sleeve Shirt
A great summer base-layer. So, it's another ExOfficio review for me...and as usual I think ExOfficio has another great product...but the shirt is not perfect...as I would like to see at least one additional change. First, the shirt does what it says .I use clothing instead of sunblock when concerned about sun-exposure (though I always carry a little sunblock on me). Like my bug-protection I have found that clothing is superior to chemicals as it is more reliable...renewable...less smelly...and… Full review

It makes perfect sense that Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, the Messenger God.
In ancient Roman mythology, Mercury was associated with travel and transportation -- why do you think he had those wings on his feet? Much like Mercury, the Twins want to get up and GO.
Visiting many places on one jaunt is the dream trip for a Gemini, so train travel through Italy might involve a stop in just every single small town. Bellissimo! Sightseeing is always high on the agenda, too, so big cities are a perfect 10 for the Twins: Think London, Tokyo and Rome. Amsterdam, Mexico City and Hong Kong are perfect as well, since those born under this Sign will thrive on the rich cultural stew.
Staying close to home is also nice; a weekend camping trip is likely to provide much-needed refreshment. No round-the-world journeys for these folks, though -- that would take far too long!

NEW YORK (AP) - The first poll taken since Eliot Spitzer leaped into the New York City comptroller's race shows the ex-governor gaining a quick advantage over fellow Democrat Scott Stringer.
The Wall Street Journal-NBC 4 New York-Marist poll shows registered Democrats favoring Spitzer over Stringer by 42% to 33%. That includes voters who are undecided but leaning toward a candidate.
Spitzer resigned amid a prostitution scandal in 2008. Stringer is Manhattan's borough president.
Spitzer launched his campaign Monday. The poll surveyed 546 Democrats Monday and Tuesday. Those results have a margin of error of 4.2%age points.
Spitzer says he's gratified by the numbers but won't base his approach on polls.
Stringer campaign manager Sascha Owen expresses confidence that Stringer will prevail as more voters get to know him.

my 11 and 12 year old pups' have been off rawhide since the doggie daycare they used to go to once a week banned them 10 years ago.

What types of chews would you recommend for a small dog who is allergic to beef and chicken? Currently I use origional denta sticks (oddly they have neither) or pig ears/pig skin raw hides. Still I would like to find other options. We also do the frozen kongs with pumpkin, sweet potato, and such.

It would be nice if there were some test results instead of hyperbole. How about showing what chemicals do actually show in in these things instead of a lot of scare, lots of emotion grabbing and little facts.
Submitted by Shari | June 30 2013 | Permalink
I have four dogs. They all love to chew. I too was anti-rawhide because I assumed they posed a choking hazard. Instead, I was buying "Made in America" bullysticks. However, when the bullysticks went up in price for the third time, I switched to cow hooves. This didn't last long as I discovered my dogs were able to chunk off sharp pieces of the hooves and were swallowing them. Pig snouts gave a couple of my dogs diarrhea. I tried the Nylabones that specifically said "Made in the USA," but the dogs didn't really go for them. I also tried Kongs and different chew "toys," but they were to easily destroyed and sometimes swallowed. I then talked to a well respected veterinarian who has been practicing for forty years. He said he gives his dogs rawhides, and in his forty years of practicing, he has never had a problem case due to rawhides. So, I do give my dogs rawhides. We have a chain grocery store in Michigan called Meijer that carries the Pet Factory, Made in the USA, 100% American Beefhide products. The only ingredient listed is American Beefhide, and the package states the rawhides are, "100% Made in the USA following strict GFSI food quality standards.."

My female basset hound just survived removal of part of her intestine and the surgical opening of the stomach. Yes, it was caused by a rawhide that did not digest. She was inches away from peritonitis. No symptoms were apparent until she was in agony and severely infected. The diagnostic tests, surgery and recovery was $5,000.00. I have given my dogs U.S. rawhides for years, with no problems. Never again.

Submitted by Victoria | November 15 2013 | Permalink
Lucie, I could be wrong, but it is my understanding that only poultry bones splinter. Whereas beef and pork bones do not.
Submitted by naomi | November 19 2013 | Permalink
I believe they splinter if they are cooked first, if they are raw they supposedly don't, however, I have given my dog raw rib bones and found small pieces- I guess they are softer since they are raw rather than cooked?
My dog is a big chewer and I found the only thing that I don't worry about too much are bully sticks/bull pizzle. I've tried elk antlers but they chipped her teeth, so I quit that too...

I give my dogs bully sticks... they are beef tendon... easier to digest and the dogs LOVE THEM! Another item I give them occasionally are deer antlers... again... a HUGE FAVORITE!

My mom's friend's dog just died from stomach torsion. RAWHIDE IS NOT MEANT TO BE SWALLOWED-IT IS NOT DIGESTIBLE!! If you read the directions(if any) these chews are meant to be chewed until they are soft, then removed to harden again, NOT to be swallowed. They are the worst things ever developed for dog chews!!

Just yesterday, we had to put our puppy down due to severe blockage from a rawhide. It was given to her for Christmas. Little did we know it would lead to her death. We had her in emergency overnight to try and get her to stabilize enough for surger, and she did not respond well to the fluid treatment, so sadly we had to say goodbye to our sweet girl. I'm so appalled they sell these harmful products for the pets we love like family. I'm also disgusted at how much the veterinarians take advantage of the heartbroken, scared families, knowing there's no saving the animal, yet still pushing for expensive treatments and tests only to see the animal suffer more.
Submitted by lucy23 | April 6 2014 | Permalink
It deeply disturbs me how some vets take advantage of people and misleading them in medications, treatments, or just plain wrong info! I saw one 3 years ago, and "respected with 38 years of practice" tell an old lady that raw hides where the best for her Great Dane puppy. He was pretty big already and I advised her otherwise afterwards. Disgusting! I'm still careful in selecting my vet and it's been 3 years! But I think I finally found one and I'm glad she also recommends organic natural remedies at times too. Don't forget to always search online to get more info on your dogs needs/ treats!

Better add Nylabone Flexi Bones MADE IN THE USA to the danger list. Our little Zoe spent 3 days in hospital fighting for her life on IV's, laxatives, and pain medications because she had chewed off and swallowed some plastic shards from this "non-toxic" "healthy" chew bone--within a couple of days of giving it to her. $600+ vet bill and several xrays later she still has shards in her intestines and may have to have surgery.
Submitted by anhalter | July 17 2014 | Permalink
We NEVER buy rawhide or bully sticks for our dogs. If you are into organic and high quality dog treats like us, stick with crunchy all-meat treats like Little L's krakems, or Bocce's biscuits. They are made from local ingredients and in NYC (where standards and quality regulations for pet food are the highest in the nation).

The strongest sales came from the window coverings category, which was up 7.7 percent when comparing 2012 to 2011. Paint and sundries performed between 4 and 5 percent better than last year, while wallcoverings' was the lone decliner with a 2.3 percent decrease in sales for the year.
Total sales for the fourth quarter were up 3.5 percent, led by a double-digit increase in window covering sales for the quarter. Paint and sundries did well, too, with fourth-quarter sales increases of 4 percent and 5.1 percent respectively.

In contrast with many of the wines noted above, some recent vintage of which (though perhaps not the exact vintages suggested; e.g., the alexander sandro, which is very good and one of my go to wines but hardly worthy of stuffing in your suitcase) are available in the US. The Yatir Shiraz is not and has never been available in the US. I live in NYC and would gladly pay you a hefty premium for any bottles you can bring me! A word of caution, though: the wine needs a few years from release to come into its own. If you drink it too young you're bound to encounter an unpleasant glass full of dirty ashtray.
Another local favorite is the Hevron Heights Elon Mamre Cabernet Sauvignon. This is not only an Israel-only wine, but it is specially made only for the AA Pyup wine shop in Jerusalem, located very close to the intersection of Golda Meir and Bar Ilan in the Sanhedria junction. I have had great experiences with this wine, both while in Israel and in the US after schlepping my own stash back with me a number of years ago. Rogov (ZL) was even very impressed with this wine after a forumite posted her random discovery of the wine while on vacation. He scored it accordingly notwithstanding his clear disdain for the winery, whether by reason of location or otherwise. You can search this forum for his TN. I find it fascinating that, in his last fading months in an obvious mad rush to finalize his last book, Rogov significantly downgraded his score of this wine in his book and attributed it to bottle variation (I.e., the TN and high score that he posted on this forum died a quite death and was replaced with a TN that I'm sure the winery never wishes was born). My personal view is that this was an unfortunate unfriendly gesture toward the winery. I've had numerous bottles of this wine and did not ever experience any sort of material bottle variation. Out by me in NYC, the winery's Isaac's Ram (also a cab) literally FLIES off of the shelf once it comes to the US. The distributor sells out of it almost immediately. Must mean it's good, no? I'm here to say that it is absolutely very good and also very similar to the Elon Mamre. Anyway, enough about that....

There are some great story lines heading into tomorrow's game between the Pack and the Washington Redskins. Will RG3 look better than he did in week 1? Will the Redskins be forced to change their nickname? Which team who won their respective divisions from last year avoid an early 0-2 whole. Here are some things the Packers can do to avoid that.
1. No huddle offense- The Eagles ran the Redskins defense into the ground in the first half with Chip Kelly's offense. The Packers have enough weapons and experience to go up tempo and try to get out to an early lead.
2. Keep Washington's pass rush in check- David Bakhtiari and Don Barclay held up pretty well last week against the 49ers. They will have another tough test this weekend against OLB's Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan. If Rodgers is up right for most of the game, he'll have no problem shredding the Redskins' defense.
3. The return of Morgan Burnett He is still listed as questionable for tomorrow, but if Burnett is back and making sure the secondary is in the right places Packer fans everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. Burnett has progressed every year and his absence last week was as noticeable as Wisconsinites love for beer, cheese and brats.
4. Contain Alfred Morris- The man who made many people look like fantasy geniuses last year as he finished second in the NFL in rushing yards will look to rebound after a sub par week one. Morris isn't the fastest guy in the world but is tough to bring down. If the Pack's run defense looks like it did last week, they will make a rusty RG3 try to beat them.

FOX28's Melanie Yuill is in Indianapolis for Friday's surgery. She'll be updating this story throughout the day and also on Twitter.Jerry Graf's family has been waiting for this day for years. Graf's kidney has been failing for over eight years and he's been on the transplant list for over two. Back in January, the family spent thousands of dollars to put up billboards to try and find Graf a new kidney. FOX28 was the first to tell you about the billboards that featured Graf's one year old granddaughter, Adelynn, and the message, "Please donate the kidney that will save my grandpa's life."
Friday, Graf got his new kidney. Early Friday, morning Graf and his living donor, Amy Pitrowski, showed up at IU Health University Hospital to undergo surgery to transplant her kidney to his body. Around 8 a.m., Pitrowski was taken into surgery and just after 10 a.m. Graf was taken to the operating room for his surgery. Around noon, Pitrowski's kidney was out and taken to Graf. At 1:30 p.m., the surgeon who operated on Graf was talking to his family. He told them the surgery was complete and it went "smooth," there were "no problems." As of 2:35 p.m. the family was waiting to be allowed to see Graf. After hearing that the surgery went well the Graf's wife, daughter, and sister all embraced and cried. They also hugged and cried with Pitrowski's partner.
The family was finally allowed to see Graf just before 5 p.m. They cried, held his hand, and told him, "you did great." After seeing Graf his wife, Diane, told us, "you can't imagine the joy in my heart." She and the rest of the family are very grateful that Graf is getting a second chance at life. His wife said she hopes now he'll be around to see his granddaughter get married.
Before surgery, Graf hugged his family goodbye. He told FOX28 that he was nervous and a little scared for the unknown that's ahead. But he added that he is ready for this surgery. He's happy that the new kidney will give him more time with his granddaughter Adelynn and told us that after surgery he's looking forward to eating butter pecan ice cream.
Pitrowski told us she was also a little nervous but also ready. Before being taken to the operating room, she told FOX28 that she just wanted to get it started. She said on Thursday she saw Graf watching cartoons with his granddaughter and she's giving her kidney so that he'll be able to do that with Adelynn many more times.
It's been an emotional roller coaster for the family and we've been following their story since they first put up the billboards a few months ago. We talked to them about the overwhelming response the billboards brought in and their happiness after finding out Pitrowski would be donating her kidney to Graf.
Will have complete coverage from the day of the surgery on FOX28 on Monday April 22nd.

Interview: Deus Ex Human Revolution game director Jean-François Dugas
Twenty-five years before the events of Deus Ex, a man named Adam Jensen was caught in the middle of a fight that would dictate the path leading to a grim future. In 2011, the story continues with Deus Ex: Human Revolution from developer Eidos Montreal.
With the franchise's anticipated revival coming on August 24, Shacknews stealthily stole some time with the game's director Jean-François Dugas.
Among other topics, Dugas discussed the importance of a quality assurance testing; how the team decided to ignore limitations from the original series, and the fate of the game's PC version. Augment your reading ability, because we've got a lengthy interview for you.
Shacknews: A year ago, when I was with a different outlet, I visited the Eidos Montreal office. There you announced that your studio is now the central hub of quality assurance throughout Eidos, with the primary QA department taking a large chunk of real estate in your new building. I assume then that the QA for Deus Ex: Human Revolution is being done there as well?
Jean-François Dugas: Yeah, the QA team is on the floor above us. We also have some QA guys on the floor with us as well. We all work together to make sure we get rid of all the problems.
Shacknews: How beneficial is it to have that access to your company's QA department at any given time?
Jean-François Dugas: It definitely is. When it's over a distance, sometimes you receive some bugs and you need clarification. If it's at a different studio or if there's a timezone difference, you lose a lot of time getting things done. But having them right next to you, all you need to do is walk over and say, "Look! It does this or does that..." You understand things better.
The communication channel is totally wide-open. The bandwidth is incredible. It's way more efficient.
Shacknews: With an open-world title that can take multiple paths, how early does the QA process begin?
Jean-François Dugas: We started almost two years ago. It was at first it was to make sure the version was stable and that the tools were stable. That we have integrated to make sure the features were working and stable. Eventually, as the game is is more playable now, instead of having two or three guys it builds up to 60 guys. They play the game and do different tasks. Some play the game, some check pieces of it.
Shacknews: When we spoke last year we talked about this, how an open-environment like this makes QA a nightmare. There's a lot to check, especially in this situation where the game has multiple paths to approach a situation.
Jean-François Dugas: Definitely. (laughs) For them it's a really, really big challenge and it is for us as well to debug it properly and make sure we don't forget anything important. You need a lot of planning. A lot of flowcharts. It's a lot of work.
Shacknews: This is hard for me formulate into a question but it's a thought I had. This is a prequel, which takes place 25 years before the first Deus Ex. There's this idea that, if you watch the first three Star Wars films from the 70s-80s and then you watch the new trilogy… it seems that the past is more futuristic than the future.
Jean-François Dugas: (laughs) Right, right.
Shacknews: It's a technology thing, right? Computers make the process much cleaner nowadays. I know that a big part of it in Human Revolution is that the augmentations are in their infancy and are very mechanical, but is that something you considered when designing this game. Was there a feeling of, "This is as far as this world can go because we can't surpass the other titles in the series"?
Jean-François Dugas: When you look at the first Deus Ex, obviously they had technological limitations that made the world very basic. And things that they did were with the knowledge of the time. In ten years, in terms of technology, things move so fast that some things in our real life are almost more advanced than the hypothetical future of Deus Ex in the year 2052. We didn't want to force or constrain ourselves with the idea that, "They didn't do something or go this far in Deus Ex, therefore we cannot do that type of thing."
We wanted to reinvent the world--to base it on what we know today and try to anticipate twenty years from now. By doing that, the chances that it's going to speak to people more easily today are better than thinking, "Well, they didn't have this or didn't do that in the first games." At some point, because we were thinking about those things in the beginning, we decided that we had to re-imagine and reinvent the world because there's no point in trying to stay "one-for-one" with the original.
Shacknews: Would following that original path automatically add limitations to the design of Human Revolution?
Jean-François Dugas: The augmentations for instance--when you look at the mechanical augmented characters like Gunther in the original--it was designed ten or eleven years ago. Today, we design it with an idea of what is happening with technology. Everything is more slick--like when you look at the iPod, it looks really well designed. We approached the augmentations in the same spirit, as opposed to going with the Terminator style type of influence. You know? Like a piece of metal here and there and you're done. We wanted something more, if I can say, sexy and slicker. Something that is more in line with the trends that we know today in terms of technology and how we try to make things blend together nicely.
Shacknews: Deus Ex: Human Revolution going to be the first game that Eidos Montreal has developed since it was established in 2007. The next game, that you've announced at least, is Thief 4...
Jean-François Dugas: Yes.
Shacknews: Is it difficult to try to establish your studio as an upcoming and new developer when the games you're using to establish yourself are tied to franchises that began over a decade ago?
Jean-François Dugas: I mean, if it's tough to establish ourselves it's hard to say. I think you're really only able to establish yourself when you ship something. Before that you're really only working for a dream. And you have people who are willing to jump on that dream and make it possible with you. We'll see when the game ships.
For us it didn't make things really difficult because we knew what we have to do and from what we've produced so far, the feedback we've received, is that people are excited. But the final judgement is made when you deliver something. I don't think we've suffered from it. The only time you suffer sometimes is when, you know, you want to hire and people don't know the studio. They're cautious.
Shacknews: You mentioned a dream. Is this your studio's dream project?
Jean-François Dugas: Definitely. I would say so. Jon [Deus Ex art director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête] and I were big fans of the first game when it came out. I mean, seriously, it's hard to ask for a better… well, the better thing you could have is to create a new IP on your own. But I would say that this is the biggest and more interesting… the dream project of my career, so far. And I think for Jon [who was interviewing with another outlet a few feet away] it's the same thing.
Shacknews: A new IP is something you'd like to work on?
Jean-François Dugas: It's a good question. If the opportunity is there at some point, it can be interesting. It could also be very interesting to pursue the franchise of Deus Ex. At this point we're really, really committed to shipping a good product in August.
Shacknews: The reason I ask, because it is a general question, but I wonder whether or not you feel like you have the same kind of control on these property-based projects versus something you've just created.
Jean-François Dugas: When you look at the Deus Ex we produced and then you look at the original ones, it's quite different. The core values are the same but the way it's expressed is totally different. A lot of this game has to do with our own inspirations and creativity, as opposed to, "Here's a spreadsheet of the stuff from the old game. Let's just do this."
Actually, it's one of the projects that I had to opportunity to be the most creative with the team and do a lot of things. Fail at stuff and succeed; we had a chance to experiment with a lot of things.
Shacknews: At the same time, do you feel a sense of responsibility?
Jean-François Dugas: In what terms?
Shacknews: As in you're now responsible for continuing two beloved, cult-hit franchises: Deus Ex and Thief.
Jean-François Dugas: Oh, that's definitely a big yes. For the fans it's important, but it was important to us in the first place to make sure that we could make it right. We didn't want to screw the franchise or kill it for good. Our goal is to revive it. We take it seriously. We put a lot of effort. We worked hard. I would say we're our harshest critics. Even when the fans were complaining about things here and there, we were complaining way more than them.
But every time we do something, we question whether or not we should be doing that thing. Is it right? If we decide to not do something, some people might not be pleased, but we know why we're not doing it. It has a been a painstakingly detailed process where everything has been analyzed. We've been a pain in the ass with ourselves.
Shacknews: Our community is filled with PC devotees, so I need to ask about the PC version, specifically. This is a franchise that began on the PC, and some would argue it thrived on PC considering the mixed reaction to Invisible War, which also made its way to console. How much care has been given to the PC version?
Jean-François Dugas: I can tell the PC fans that, actually in the office when I'm playing the game I don't play on Xbox 360 or PS3, I play on the PC. It's shaping out to be very good. It's on the same level as the other platforms. There are a few things that we'll discuss later, but we adapted stuff because it's on PC. Especially in the interface department.
Shacknews: So, the UI is different on the PC?
Jean-François Dugas: I mean slightly different. Not totally different. So it doesn't feel like a port of a console game. We didn't want that. It's the three platforms that are being pushed at the same time. PC? We're going to talk about it eventually.
Shacknews: Was the PC version done in-house at Eidos Montreal?
Jean-François Dugas: No. Well, it was done in-house, but with a partnership.
Shacknews: Who is the partner?
Jean-François Dugas: Nixxes. They're based out of the Netherlands.
Shacknews: How much involvement does your team have with the PC version of the game?
Jean-François Dugas: All the design and changes to the design has been done in Montreal and sent to them. We review the builds. We review and then give comments about what works and what doesn't. It's the same process. It's the exact same process, except that the programmers aren't in the same office. It's the same game and the same creative team taking care of it.
Shacknews: Is that a function of staff limitations in Montreal?
Jean-François Dugas: Yeah. It was more of a logistic problem more than anything else and having enough people to make sure it's all on the same level, all the time. So, yeah. It was more about manpower and logistics.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is scheduled to launch on August 23 for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Is A Go-Go's Musical Coming Soon???
Friday, October 5, 2012
Gwyneth Paltrow is said to be behind an upcoming jukebox musical featuring the Go-Go's classic '80s hits. The Hollywood Reporter posted that the actress is now in talks to produce the show with Donovan's son, actor Donovan Leitch, and Rick Ferrari and is currently in negotiations "with a number of Broadway scribes to write the book" for the musical. According to the report, the Go-Go's are involved in the project -- which is still in the early stages -- and are considering contributing new material for the still-unnamed project.
Go-Go's guitarist Jane Wiedlin told us that she has amazing memories of her and lead singer Belinda Carlisle forming the band: "Belinda and I were part of the original Hollywood punk rock scene in the mid-'70s, and pretty much all of our friends had bands. Most of them were in more than one band and there was hardly anyone left that wasn't in a band -- except for some girls. It was kind of a natural thing. Like the girls came together and said, well, we could just do this, too."
The Go-Go's tour dates (subject to change):
October 4 - Milwaukee, WI - Northern Lights Theater
October 6 - Merrillville, IN - Star Plaza Theatre
October 10 - Peekskill, NY - Paramount Center For The Arts
October 11 - New York, NY - Best Buy Theater
October 13 - Rama, ON - Casino Rama Entertainment Centre
October 14 - Detroit, MI - Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel

A 9-year-old Bronx girl who was hit by a stray bullet Friday night was released from the hospital on Sunday.
Amanda Chauan was released from Jacobi Hospital, leaving with her parents who were holding a string of big balloons for her.
Friday's shooting is the latest of a disturbingly growing trend of little girls getting hit by stray bullets in the city.
"When they told me they shot her, I said, 'I can't believe it.' that's the only thing," said Wanda Forte, the victim's grandmother.
Forte had tears in her eyes describing the moment she heard her granddaughter Amanda had been shot in the stomach. Their family is grateful that she survived.
"We didn't know what was going happen to her, and then thank God last night we spoke to her and she was a lot better," said Umberto Lopez, Amanda's grandfather
"She's a smart girl -- real smart girl. She plays with her brother and sister," Lopez said.
Forte says Amanda was playing outside when she was shot around 9:30 p.m. in front of her building on Baily Avenue in the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx.
Police say the teenage suspect was riding a bicycle and fired several shots before riding away.
Amanda was struck in the stomach and was rushed to North Central Bronx Hospital and was later transported to Jacobi Hospital, where she is listed in stable condition.
The NYPD say they have arrested 17-year-old Billy James, Jr. in connection with the shooting. Investigators believe he was firing at someone else. He faces attempted murder, assault, reckless endangerment and illegal weapon possession charges.
"We had a 9-year-old girl who was outside her crime was that she was playing outside in front of her home. And she was shot in the stomach," said Philip Banks of the NYPD.
Amanda is the latest child shot in New York City.
On May 31st, 11-year-old Tayloni Mazyck was hit by a stray bullet in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.
Also last month, 14-year-old D'aja Robinson was shot and killed by a stray bullet on a city bus in Jamaica, Queens.
As for Amanda, her grandmother can't wait to see her playing again.
"I want to see her laughing, walking, that's all I want to see her do."

Gautier is one of the oldest Cognac houses. Its history began in the 16th century, but the company was only officially founded in 1755 when the family obtained a Royal Warrant to produce Cognac and a founding charter signed by Louis XV.
Gautier's cellars are uniquely located in a former water mill above the river Osme; as a result, the cellars enjoy a natural humidity which provides ideal maturing conditions. This unique balance enables the Cognacs to age in a harmonious and balanced way and to gain exceptional mellowness, roundness and complexity.
The heirs of Maison Gautier succeeded each other in turn over 10 generations, developing the family business. The Cognac house was thus passed on from father to son, always preserving its traditional expertise while maintaining a dynamic approach, and always seeking perfection in terms of quality.
In 1975, Gautier joined the group Berger, which was in turn purchased by Marie Brizard & Roger International in 1995 and by the Belvedere Group in 2006.

A remote kingdom in the midst of the Himalayas, Bhutan offers ethereal landscapes and a rich culture where Gross National Happiness measures the wealth of the nation.
Journey to Thimphu, Bhutan's capital and largest city, to view an immense collection of ancient Buddhist manuscripts at the National Library and visit the Traditional Art School, where students keep alive the traditional art of painting sacred religious scrolls. Traveling to Punakha, stop at the Duchula Pass, a pristine landscape where the mountains seem to pierce the sky, to follow the ancient tradition of raising prayer flags for wisdom and compassion. Explore Chime Lhakhang, a Buddhist monastery built in about 1499, and in Paro, view the art collections of Ta-Dzong, the National Museum. You'll also attend a traditional music performance in a musician's home and enjoy dinner in the home of a Bhutanese family. A special highlight of any trip to Bhutan is a hike to Taktsang, the sacred Tiger's Nest Monastery and Temple complex. Conclude your tour with a new sense of harmony as you reflect on your adventure at a farewell dinner.
Days 1-2 — U.S., Delhi, India
Depart the U.S. for Delhi. Reach the Indian capital mid-afternoon and transfer to your airport hotel, where the remainder of the day is at leisure. Dinner tonight is on your own.
Day 3 — Paro and Thimphu, Bhutan
An early morning flight reveals breathtaking views of the Himalayas rising from the lush green valleys of Bhutan as you reach the "dragon kingdom." Land in Paro at Bhutan's only international airport, then travel by coach approximately 1½ hours to Thimphu, the Himalayan country's capital and largest city. After checking in at your hotel, enjoy lunch together then embark on a walking tour to Memorial Chorten, one of Bhutan's best-known religious landmarks, and to the colorful weekend market. Late afternoon return to your hotel, where you'll enjoy a welcome dinner. (B,L,D)

After lunch, traverse the valley to see the ruins of Drukyel Dzong, a victory fortress dating to the 17th century. This afternoon ends with a special traditional musical performance by several of Bhutan's most treasured musicians, in the house of one of the artists. (B,L,D)
Day 11 — Paro and Tiger's Nest Monastery
Embark on a highlight of any trip to Bhutan: a visit to Taktsang, the sacred Tiger's Nest monastery and temple complex hanging from a cliff some 2,000 feet above the upper Paro Valley. Set out on a scenic two-hour uphill hike early this morning (a horse is available for transport part of the way). Those not wishing to go all the way up to the complex can get a very good view of Tiger's Nest at a way-station. First built in about 1692, the Himalayan Buddhist monastery honors Guru Padmasambhava who established Buddhism in Bhutan. The complex of four main temples, eight caves, and residential quarters surrounds the cave where the guru is said to have meditated alone for three months.

Sega Announces New Aliens vs. Predator Game, Delays Gearbox's Aliens: Colonial MarinesA new Aliens vs. Predator game will arrive in early 2010, publisher Sega has announced, with the company noting that AvP will hit before its other two Aliens games.
That means Gearbox's shooter Aliens: Colonial Marines (PC, PS3, 360) and Obsidian's Aliens RPG won't debut until 2010, at the very earliest. Colonial Marines was originally expected last year, and was recently listed as a Q1 2009 release by Sega Europe.
Rumors that Aliens: Colonial Marines was put on hold emerged amidst layoffs, but Gearbox president Randy Pitchford quickly clarified that it wasn't cancelled. Meanwhile, Sega has remained rather quiet about the Aliens RPG since it was revealed in 2006.
The new Aliens vs. Predator title will be developed by Rebellion, which handled the 1999 PC shooter Aliens versus Predator, but had no involvement in Monolith's 2001 sequel.
No further details or platforms for Aliens vs. Predator were provided, apart from a promise it will be "innovative," with Sega vowing that more details are due "very soon."

text: It always seems right around the 4th of July, that I reflect on how much I hate winter. As I hear people complain about how hot and muggy it is, I often think to myself...just wait 'til the snow flies. Every summer seems to go by way too fast. As hearty Midwesterners, we've grown used to it. I for one, refuse to regret wasting another summer before the tight grip of winter sets in. I'd always get mad at myself for not doing more outside during the warmest season. Now, I look for reasons and excuses to soak up as much sun as possible. Not only do I get a healthy dose of vitamin D, but I no longer sit at home when it's cold wishing I did more while it was nice. My two young daughters love the outdoors as well. Whether it's running to the park with them, a bike ride through the city's trail system or a casual kayak trip down the river, there are so many opportunities to get outside and enjoy basking in the sun. Not to mention, the outdoors are always FREE. * image courtesy of: Pixabay.com

Hello Sewing World. It's me, Melissa :) I am so excited about this new Bake Shop Tutorial. There were two things that prompted me to create this Cutting Mat Caddy. First, I don't have a designated table for my cutting mat in my sewing room. I wish I did, but my sewing room doubles as an exercise and storage room, so space is tight. My cutting mat is stored under my bed and I am tired of always having to try and wipe dust off of it before cutting. So I created this Caddy to create a storage unit for my mat. Second, I belong to a sewing group that gets together each Tuesday night and sews until Midnight. Ya, we have a blast, but lugging my mat and rulers is sometimes a pain. So I created this Caddy for Simple Travel. And there you have it! If you happen to fall in this same boat, here is the solution!!
Sew Row 1 to Row 2. Sew Row 3 to Row 4. Then sew Row 5 to your pieced Row 3 and 4. Lastly, sew your pieced Row 1 and 2 to your pieced Row 3, 4, and 5.

Sales of Apple Inc. products are booming and so is the number of thefts in New York.
Mayor Bloomberg said the theft of Apple products actually created a slight spike in the overall crime rate in 2012, noting that 3,890 more Apple products were stolen that year than in 2011 -- about a 40 percent jump.
Detectives try to get the stolen device's tracking number from the victim. Then the NYPD teams with Apple to track the device's location.
