Think about ordering two sizes down... I really like this vest for 3-season wear over a long or short sleeved T in central NC, and under a light jacket in winter. Great colors, really soft. Wish it were a little longer (or scooped) and had a "princess seam fitting," for a more feminine, not tight, fit. The Medium I ordered had 4 inches extra to grab down the sides (I'm a 38 chest) so I reordered two sizes down figuring on an extra 3-4 inches---It's cut very wide and boxy, and has about 1/2 inch stretch to it, so consider that when ordering: what you wear it over and what fit you like. The price/quality are good, so I will make a little compromise in the style and just order smaller. February 12, 2011
Perfect product I am looking for a vest for a while. This is perfect one no matter the size or the color. March 3, 2014
Fleece vest Very soft and pretty. Last good and are well made. February 6, 2014
Great vest This vest fits well and looks great. I'm always worried that a vest will fit good through the chest but not the hips. This vest fit perfectly for me who has hips but not a large chest. February 3, 2014
This vest is my favorite, which is why I have 2 already! The fit is very is so comfortable and warm, yet light weight enough to be worn inside. It is very functional and can be dressed up or down. I love that it is easy to clean and still looks brand new after being washed. I highly recommend this vest! January 27, 2014
Cuddly and warm vest I have ordered several of these vests to wear under a blazer. They do the trick to add another level of warmth, without being too bulky or heavy. January 20, 2014
Good quality I purchased this vest after having been very disappointed in a recent Woolrich vest that I returned. This is a solid vest and good looking. January 19, 2014
Great vest I love this vest. I have it in black, gray and white. I have had the black one for years. It washes great. I took it with me to South America and it was perfect. I wear a small in this vest and I am a size 8. It runs slightly large. I can zip with perfect room. These vests are great. January 14, 2014
Great vest Love everything about the vest, it is it everything you would expect in a Columbia product! January 13, 2014
My new favorite vest As soon as I put on this vest, I knew I would be wearing it a lot! It's a great layering tool for being able to match my clothing to the weather conditions, very important in the changeable northwest! I love the fit and the zippered hand pockets. The color runs more toward pink than red, but that's OK, maybe I need more pink in my life. Ha! The only small complaint I have about it is that the zipper seems like it might not hold up for years and years; I'm just being gentle with it. Other than that, I love this vest! January 11, 2014
GREAT PRODUCT! This vest is a great value and a great fit! Would recommend for sure! January 2, 2014
Great vest! Vest fits nicely, is well-made, and very soft. Surprisingly warm. December 29, 2013
Daughter loved her vest! Vest exceeded daughter's expectations and was delivered in a timely manner December 28, 2013
Light and warm I decided that I needed to order a large when I tend to fit in medium-sized clothes. Wish I had ordered a medium because this garment fits true to size. The good aspect of it being overlarge is that I can layer heavier garments under the vest. The weight is light, but the fleece is warm. The garment is well-made. The black color absorbs light which makes it extra warm in the Tucson sun. December 27, 2013
Awesome Vest! Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She loves it! Very soft and comfortable. Great fit, not too bulky! December 27, 2013
Women's fleece vest The product is fine. If you know what size you usually order from online stores, you will want to go down one size with Columbia. Maybe even two sizes if you like things fitted. December 26, 2013
Outstanding Easy to use website. Recieved my order in record time. I would highly recommend using Columbia for quality products and great customer service. December 23, 2013
simple comfortable reasonably priced fleece vest In an XS size, this is a slim fitting vest, perfect for over a turtleneck and staying warm. Nice lines to it. More colors choices are needed. December 19, 2013
Awesome vest Great quality and excellent fit December 18, 2013
Vest The pink is a bit bright, but the grey is great and both are excellent quality. December 12, 2013
Present for wife Columbia never disappoints. True fit, great quality. Highly recommend. December 8, 2013
Product lives up to its description! I had shopped for a fleece vest for a long time and looked and a variety of different brands. I have known the Columbia brand having worked in retail and know it to be a quality brand. I saw this vest on the website and decided to give it a try. I am glad I did. It is a good fit, provides good core warmth, is extremely soft and a great value! I would certainly buy another! December 6, 2013
Women's Benton Vest I absolutely love this vest ... this is my third one! It's very light weight, but provides warmth without the bulk, and it looks great. December 3, 2013
Great fit, Good Quality This is the first Columbia Vest I have owned. Love the quality, color and fit. Will certainly recommend to my family and friends. And, will purchase additional items in the future. I am very satisfied with my purchase. December 2, 2013
Fit is a problem I started with a 1X assuming true to size. Returned it for XL. Returned that for a Large. Satisfied now. December 1, 2013
I love this vest and think it's a great buy for the money. I already have it in 2 colors: black and a nice rich medium blue. ...but However, this year's colors seem way too bright to me. The bright red I recently ordered is close to a neon orange, not a very flattering color. I plan to return it and wait to see if your colors are less intense next year. November 29, 2013
Great InVESTment I bought the Benton Springs Vest in two colors, and bought two more for gifts. Warm, soft and comfortable -- not too form-fitting, and slightly longer in the back for a flattering fit. Weight is a little lighter than most, which makes it a good layering piece. Excellent value. November 27, 2013
Perfect fit I was leary to order this vest online as Columbia products were always cut too straight for a curvy figure. After reading the reviews I decided to give it a try and ordered a Medium. Very pleased that I did, as it fits perfectly in the hip area, and I love the colour of the deep blush. November 25, 2013
really like the purple, but had hoped for a dark blue nice vest, fits fine and true to size...comfy and warm. What I really want Columbia to bring back is the jacket with a hood like they had 2 yrs ago, and in good ol' standard colors. November 22, 2013
Bright vest These are a bit longer than other fleece vests, but I like that. It fits well below the waist. The color is bright and cheerful and the fabric is of nice quality. November 22, 2013
warm Not as warm as a fleece with sleeves for wearing in the house or outside as an extra layer with less bulk. November 9, 2013
Excellent Product, sized perfectly I always shy away from buying clothes online because I never know if they'll fit quite right. I always worry that an item will be snug on the hips, or not long enough down the back. When I saw that this product has a feature called 'Fit' and it was marked "true to size", I was convinced to give it a try. I was extremely happy when the vest arrived and it fit perfectly! October 30, 2013
Fleece Vest--too small Apparently, this vest runs really small. I had to return it. October 28, 2013
great product I ordered the vest and love it! It is a perfect fit and is very comfortable. Great price too. I ordered the color black and look forward to ordering more colors : ) October 23, 2013
Disappointed My previous vest I've had for 8 yrs & the fleece is just the right thickness to keep me warm and barely looks like it's been used. The zipper actually broke first. This one I had to return because it was way to big, and the fleece felt a lot thinner then my 'old' one. I was going to exchange it, but I don't think so. October 22, 2013
great fleece vest for active women I bought this vest in 3 colors. Love the zippered pockets, the higher collar which is perfect when the wind blows, the quality is apparent the minute you put it on. I bought red for tennis, gray and black for running or hiking or even to wear to work. Columbia is always a company I depend on as all the clothes I buy fit perfectly. October 20, 2013
great vest This vest is a great value. Fits nicely, and keeps me warm. October 20, 2013
too wide I returned this vest. I was looking for a more tapered fit and this was too boxy. I wish it had worked out because it looked like a nice vest. October 18, 2013
Just what I wanted It is very well made with external zip pockets and one inside deep pocket. The weight is just right when you just need a little something extra. Being true to size is very important when buying online and this fit perfectly. October 16, 2013
Birthday Present for Daughter in College My daughter loved this vest from the moment she opened it. It fit her perfectly. She always wears a small or xtra small. The small gives her a little more room to wear a sweater under it. September 22, 2013
Good product; colors not completely true I purchased two vests, one black & one red. The "true red" color was more on the orange side than a true red. I wasn't completely satisfied, but I did keep the item. The black vest was more dark gray than true black. I returned the item because the left armhole was larger than the right, creating too much extra fabric in that area. If I had tried this vest on in a store I would not have purchased it for that reason. Overall, I have liked most every Columbia clothing product I have purchased. September 18, 2013
Light weight but warm with great color options! I use this vest for my work outdoors with urban youth. I love it for fall and spring when I don't want to be taking layers on and off all day. The fleece is warm enough to keep your core warm on chilly mornings/evenings, but light enough to breath and wear all day! September 16, 2013
thos product is excellent in all senses. Excellent. That's all. July 2, 2013
Sleeveless Fleece Vest Perfect. Bought for layering on a 2 week trip to the Baltics where temps vary throughout the day. Wore every day. Very pleased with the look and performance. Runs true to size. June 4, 2013
Fits perfectly I was looking for a light weight vest to wear over a tee shirt. Some vests are too bulky and warm. I purchased the small based on the size chart. I am 5' 7"and 122 lbs. June 1, 2013
Color ???? Although this is an excellent vest, the color on the internet was listed as Violet. It was not any shade of violet, and I would call it Magenta or some type of pink. I had ordered these for a group of volunteers and unfortunately, had to pay over $20.00 to have them returned. Tough when working on donations from sponsors. It would be wise to change the color noun to something closer to the true color. PCH May 31, 2013
Love my Benton Springs fleece vest! I'm a return customer annually for at least one fleece vest. The garment washes well, and is very comfortable to wear. I especially like the light weight and ease of packing! May 30, 2013
not as good as it was The fabric was not as good as in the one I ordered about ten years ago. May 23, 2013
Great for Layering I just bought this vest. I'm taking it as part of layering for an upcoming vacation to Alaska. We were advised to prepare for all kinds of weather so this will be worn over a couple of long-sleeved layers and under a rain jacket. I've also worn it around the house on cool nights and mornings since I received it. It seems to do the job and offer the right amount of warmth without the bulk. May 20, 2013
very pleasantly surprised I have been looking for a black vest for use on the tennis court. I wanted a snug fit and a length that didn't hike up when I went to serve. When I opened the packaging, the fabric was so light weight, I asked myself how could the vest offer the warmth I was seeking. Wow, is my comment to all my questions. Even though I am a medium, I ordered the small (for a snug fit) and am so happy with the vest. It washes and wears for my constant use both on and off the tennis court. I am now considering other colors. March 31, 2013

I have been working for a long time with NOTEPAD++. However after updating from a 6.2.x version to 6.4.1 it was no longer possible to work with big files (> 1 MB). Every change in the file takes an awful long time until NOTEPAD++ answers. I tried the 6.3.3 version - same problem. Going back to 6.2.2 the problem is resolved. So I cannot use any version higher than 6.2.x. Would be nice to resolve this problem in higher versions!!

I think to move back to where we lived in Westchester now you would need to be in the 1%, or at least close. I've heard most of that land that was open woods when we were growing up has been developed now. It makes me really sad to think of it.

Aaron's Chocolate Pecan Pie
Nova, this one is for you! Aaron loves to bake and a few years ago, he adapted his grandmother's pecan pie recipe to make the most amazing chocolate pecan pie I've ever tasted. And I don't even like pie. It's that good.
1 heaping cup pecans (halves or coarsely chopped)
3 eggs
12 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 stick (8 tbs) butter or margarine
1/4 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp vanilla
And choose one of the two options below:
Version 1:
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup dark Karo corn syrup
1/3 cup honey
Version 2:
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/3 cup dark Karo corn syrup
1/3 cup honey
Beat eggs until frothy. Melt the stick of butter with about 2/3 of the package of chocolate chips and let stand to cool a bit. Mix the chocolate mixture in with the eggs, then mix all other ingredients in as well, saving the pecans and the remaining chocolate chips for last.
Pour mixture into an unbaked, 9″ pie shell. Cook at 325 for 50 minutes, checking until done. When the top is crusting over and cracks, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out gooey, but the surface is firm, the pie is ready. The pie will set when it cools off.
Be sure to let pie cool off completely to room temperature before serving, or it will be too gooey to cut.

Wow, I've never had chocolate pecan pie. How intriguing.
Holy cow does that look good! Hope you had fun eating it. :)
Damn! you made me drool on the keyboard.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
yum-o I have to try this…. it looks awesome…
luv Abby
that looks soooooo delicious!
that looks amazing!!!!!
I'm waiting for the picture to pop out of my screen and onto my desk………………..
Do you know if there is any significant difference in the taste if i use only maple syrup? I'm not sure if I can get corn syrup here…
Hope you had a great Christmas =)
Gotta love chocolate, pecans, and good-looking man-hands! (I have a thing for hands….)
So you know this is totally going to be my first pie of 2008, right? Thank you, E (and A)!
When do you put in the pecans and the rest of the chocolate? I assume before you bake it? It just looks delicious!
When it's fresh out of the oven, do you find yourself continually patting the top of it? that's what i would do. it looks perfect for light taps.

"The Fighting Lady," directed by William Wyler, provides a portrait of
life on a World War II aircraft carrier, a vessel that is "enormous,
wonderful, and strange to us." After profiling the various activities
of the soldiers' day and following the ship's voyage through the Panama
Canal, the film takes the audience through a litany of actual combat
engagements. The Fighting Lady participates in a strike on the Marcus
Islands, then defends itself against a surprise nighttime raid by
Japanese fighters. Some of the photography comes from cameras set up in
the cockpits of American planes, showing first hand what it's like to be
diving through enemy anti-aircraft fire. The film culminates in a major
confrontation with the Imperial Japanese Battle Fleet. In this massive
operation, later dubbed the "Marianas Turkey Shoot," American pilots
downed almost four hundred Japanese Zeros, while incurring only
twenty-two losses themselves.

Subject: Here come the Hellcats!
On board "the Fighting Lady" and other carriers of her class, was a new Grumman fighter, the F6F "Hellcat." With this and other modern aircraft of that time, the U.S. Navy began offensive operations in the Central Pacific. This was the beginning of the end for the Japanese Imperial Navy. As we see towards the end of the film, victory did not come without cost and sacrifice. There is surprisingly little hyper-patriotic glossing over in this documentary. It's quite honest about an unhappy skipper rousting out the flight deck crews as they're about to steam into dangerous waters. Equally so is the routine monotony that's broken by moments of sheer terror.

Subject: Great film about carrier life in WWII
Nowadays most WWII documentaries are on the History Channel and reuse the same clips over and over. This film stands out because of the quality color and the depictions of all the mundane tasks that take place to support sending an aircraft into combat. I thought the loading of the aircraft, the crowded flight deck with engines running, and the ship anti-aircraft fire control scenes were particularly interesting. I like the close-ups in the officers dinning room showing how young these guys were and how many never came back.

Subject: A Memory
It was the north side Chicago, we lived on Berry ave in those days mostly a German American neighborhood, I don't remember the date but it must have been 1944, I was about 8 or so. None of my buddies were around this saturday so I went to the movies on my own, The Lincoln theater just off the junction of Lincoln and Belmont, showing this movie, The Fighting Lady, at the time I thought it thr best war film I hade ever seen. Of course the stuff I was used to usually involved John Wayne, The Fighting Seabees, or The Flying Tigers, or some such. I told my friends about it but none of them ever saw it, in fact I never met any one who saw it. Years latter I remembered the old film and tried to find it on video but no luck, later I found that though it had been released by a major studio, it had been recalled because there was some dispute about credits and the studio to avoid litigation withdrew all prints and destroyed them. That was it a lost film. So I now knew why I disliked Hollywood and all it is? Now it seems to have resurfaced in a public domain guise.
I know the original was credited as Directed by, (famous photographer) Edward Steichen, who headed the Naval unit that made the film, the photography was done by Dwight Long so that may be part of the conflict but certainly not all. The film was lost for fifty odd years because of all the kerfuffle and only recently resurfaced perhaps because it is now out of copyright. Best

Subject: A carrier at war
This is the only film in the Cinemocracy listings that had no reviews, and I feel it's deserving of one. Shot in Kodachrome, this film depicts life onboard an Essex class carrier during WWII. Though not named in the film, most of the footage was shot onboard the USS Yorktown. "The Fighting Lady" highlights the saying that war is 99% boredom followed by 1% of sheer terror. We see footage of everyday life aboard the ship: from sailors stuck on KP duty to the aircrews responsible for arming and fueling planes to the pilots who manned them. At the end of the film we find out that some of the people depicted were KIA or MIA. I think that would have made more of an impact had they actually interviewed these people and create a relationship with the viewer rather than simply including them in the narration. I believe documentaries like this were created for presentations to workers in the factories (Grumman in this case) so that people who built the aircraft and material of war could see the end product of their efforts in action and making a difference in the war. A pretty good film that won the Best Documentary Oscar in 1945.

It went up in flames nearly two weeks ago and is still smoldering. People who work and live around the old Sanders factory in Highland Park want to know why the fire is still not out and how long it will burn.
The Highland Park Fire Department is out daily to quell the hot spots, but there is still smoke. We asked the chief why is it taking so long put out.
"It's not a staffing issue," he said.
It's not staffing, it's safety. Look closely past the smoke and the water and you'll see huge slabs of cement hanging in the balance. It's an accident waiting to happen.
"It had a concrete roof, so it collapsed down on top of it with the second floor ... all concrete," said Chief Derek Hillman. "We can't get in there because it's too dangerous and too hazardous for our guys."
In between the two and a half foot slabs of concrete is a dangerous situation to get firefighters inside. In between there is also a lot of insulation that continues to burn nearly two weeks after the initial fire.
Fox 2 has learned the company that owns the building isn't insured, and that is why there's a holdup.
We tried to get in touch with the company that sources said owns the land. Ken Daniels is the resident agent with the firm Daniels Karim Investments, LLC out of Farmington Hills. No insurance means no one is coming to clean up anytime soon. It's an eyesore.
"We're trying to do the best we can for this community, and we're going to keep on monitoring this and getting this taken care of as soon as possible," Hillman said.
We looked up the company. It is not listed anywhere. There is just an old office suite address in Farmington Hills and no phone number.
The City of Highland Park is asking the feds to step in to help speed things up. The DEQ and EPA may be able to put more pressure on Daniels Karim Investments to clean up.
Experts say the air quality has not been compromised.

Interview Summary Dr. Charles A. Reed with Louis Kraar, FORTUNE May 13, 1977 The following is a summary of FORTUNE Magazine's Louis Kraar interview with Charles E. Reed on Thursday morning, May 13, 1977. The summary is reconstructed from notes and is not intended to be a verbatim account of the interview. Q. I have a difficulty understanding what's so different about strategic planning as GE does it. A. The problem in a corporation like GE is to get an understanding of the strategic planning process to permeate throughout the organization. It takes a long time to get understanding of a new program of this type. (Explanation of factors considered in strategic planning) That's really what we've done in GE over the past 7 years. Now it's becoming a way of life. The key is judgement. Q. Your background in this... A. On CPC for a number of years. Technology emphasis. And for 15 months had strategic planning at a time when we were trying to pull together an overall articulation on strategic planning. Bow Bob Frederick is trying to pull together an overall organization strategy... I am now conducting in-depth technology study of the whole corporation. Q. Would strategic planning identify an opportunity in a new field? A. If you want to talk of the ideal, it certainly would. Q. Does it in fact? A. Yes, I think so. One of our businesses which has done one of the best jobs is plastics. My background is there. A beautiful example. We've come forth and identified that sector of the plastics field where GE can make the best contribution: engineering plastics (Here a history of the plastics business.) We came into the 70's and the plastics business took an overall look at our stable of plastics and came up with Valox, filling a big gap. Now we fill the whole range. This is one of the fastest growing businesses we have. A real strategic approach... since 1969. On stream last year with new plant in Mt. Vernon. You should talk with Dr. Welch.

Rumor: No New Half-Life in 2010While Half-Life developer Valve has remained rather quiet as to when series star Gordon Freeman will continue his crowbar-wielding antics, a rumor currently making the rounds claims that it won't be this year.
"Loose Talk has learned that there won't be any game from the franchise in 2010, and what will finally come out is still unknown," reads the self-proclaimed "rumors and scuttlebutt" column in the February 2010 issue of Game Informer. "Will it be Half-Life 2: Episode Three? Or will it be a full-on Half-Life 3?"
The last Half-Life entry, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, arrived in October 2007. Since then, Valve has described Episode Three--the final entry in the Half-Life 2: Episode trilogy--as "a more ambitious project" and teased "the next time you play as Gordon will be longer than the distance between Half-Life 2 to Episode One, and Episode One to Episode Two," later telling Shacknews "Freeman's not done...stay tuned for more."

One of the greatest rock songs of all time. The best known version of the song was done by the Animals in 1965. "Rising Sun" is an old british term for whore house. Whether or not that is the songs intended meaning is unknown.
Remember that scene in Casino where all the guys are getting killed and they play House of the Rising Sun. That was awesome.

I think with having lived over here for so long where people are so laid back about stuff, I was taken aback when seeing people celebrating but then when I thought about, it makes sense since he was the person that masterminded the 9/11 events.
I do get irritated when I see conservatives b8tching about this when we all know darn well that had this been five years ago and Bush was the CIC, they would have been out celebrating.
Now if only we would get around to stop occupying other countries....I mean Hitler has been dead for more than 60 years and I can barely remember an East and West Germany.....do we REALLY still need to have a bunch of troops there?
ITA. Though I am happy bin Laden is dead, I am not celebrating or anything of the sort, but I can so understand the cheering in NYC and DC. My cousin was in DC at the time in college and we were so scared as we had not heard from her for a couple days after 9/11. My roomates in college were from NYC. One lost a family member at the trade center and was devastated. New Yorkers (and DCers) went through so much because of this event, are still going through so much, and I do feel they have the right to celebrate and I am happy that they have been given the opportunity to do so.
I won't lie though, I did have reservations about the cheering and such, as I personally don't see the need, but I guess knowing the stories of some of the people who were affected do make me realize that they feel they have something to celebrate and it is not politicized, it is just raw emotion and relief IMO.
This quote pretty much summarizes how I feel about it:
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." --Martin Luther King, Jr
I understand the impulse to celebrate but at the risk of sounding like a crotchety old lady, I find it unseemly and inappropriate. Justice has been served and I am thankful for that, but I don't like the cheering and chanting and flag waving. It looks like the crowds we see in Iran, Iraq, Pakistan who cheer and celebrate when something horrible happens over here. I worry what we as a country are becoming.
Just me 2 cents.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Midge said in the other thread that people's reactions are not right are wrong, they just are. Raw, true reactions. And I guess I can't argue with that. I feel like I should just stay off facebook though because the smugness of it all bothers me a bit. I support our troops and I am thankful for everything they do (even if some think I should pack up and leave if I don't like it here) but my family that has served, including my dad who fought in Vietnam will be the first to tell me that war is horrible and ugly and to many soldier even, killing does not feel good. War is a soul sucking evil. Many innocent people are dead on all side of this and, for lack of eloquence, it just sucks. I love our country and I am thankful that I feel safe here. But I won't rejoice violence. I just won't.

I thought this article was pretty good.

I've seen the MLK quote about a million times on facebook too, so I must be friends with some good people too.
I do have to say that I'm proud that our military made sure that he received a burial in accordance with his beliefs. I'm also proud that our government chose to target the person and not the entire building, which undoubtedly saved lives. I'll cheer that, because those small acts of respect and humanity show how far we as a nation have progressed.
I borrowed someones facebook status for my own, "Dear Westboro Baptist Church, we have a funeral you can protest. It's in Pakistan, we'll help you pack. Sincerely, America."
I thought that was pretty clever.
The quote that is so meaningful is not real
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Ashley, yum!
This is my new addiction: http://www.haagen-dazs.com/products/five.aspx
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Only the first part of the quote is not real. It probably started out as a case of misplaced quotation marks.
Remember the mom who wanted me to give a time out for potty accidents? (Oh and Kate, it is against state licensing regulations for me to give timeouts for potty accidents. Not that I would anyway...) Well, the little girl had one yesterday and when mom picked up she was not happy. She spent 10 minutes forcing the girl to apologize to me for peeing in her pants at my house. It was very uncomfortable. Very.
We leave for Canada tomorrow to visit dbf's family. I am actually really looking forward to it for the most part. I really love when my kids get to soak up the adoration of the family. I'm a little nervous because both his mom and his sister have really child unfriendly homes with lots of expensive things to break and spill on. I remember last time his mom was upset that soy sauce got spilled on her silk tablecloth. Jaysus, it's a tablecloth! Even I am nervous to eat at her table!
And why can't dbf's family put their nice things up for a little while? It won't hurt them none, and will enable everyone to really have a nice time without worrying about a little soy sauce on a table cloth!
Hopefully they will this time Chrissy. My mil is one who believes that children need to learn the word no. Which, duh, my kids know the word. And they are actually really good about listening at other people's homes and respecting rules and such but they are also kids, you know? So there is that lack of impulse control and just clumsiness in general.
I remember when she was here she was helping us arrange our living room. (She is an interior designer.) The way she had it set up created this little cave of space between two items of furniture with a plant that was on a tall thin plant stand and the plant leaves cascaded down to the floor. Well, hello perfect fort!! The kids immediately went back there and she all, no no no! You can't play back there. She just couldn't believe that I wouldn't have a space like that in my home that was so appealing to them that they weren't allowed in. That they need to learn they can't do whatever they want. The way I see it, it's their home too and I really don't care to have a corner of the living room off limits to them.
I agree with you Bridget. Life is too short and their childhood will go by in a blink of an eye. Who wants to spend the entire day saying "No!" to their kids? Somehow, they 'get it' about spaces they can't access as they grow up. Mine did anyway. Bobbie wouldn't go into her home and climb behind her plants. Conner would.

I hope you have a good time in Canada and you won't feel too nervous. My MIL is kind of like that and I used to be nervous but now I just ask her to make sure to put up breakables. Luckily, she is a nice thoughtful woman and loves her grandkids and knows that children are clumsy and accidentally distructive sometimes so she prepares when we come for a visit.
Wait, so you mean Bobbie wouldn't want to make a fort out of a cool fort space? LOL
The MLK quote being fake is kind of funny. And normally I would agree with the idea behind it.....but I just don't in this case. While I think that two bullets to the head was way too nice and easy for him (too bad we couldn't have sent say Dexter after him....if you know Dexter was real!).....I just don't think it would have been good to have him captured alive and trying to deal with a trial and all that and this big drawn out thing to giving him the death penalty anyway. Seems like that would have just created more chaos.
Plus I don't really think that a person like that deserves to be called a human being.
As for ice cream, I like it and will eat it but I'm not that big on it. It can sit in my freezer for a long time without tempting me. I am much worse with things like leftover pastas (spaghetti, mac and cheese, lasagna...and yup, I like them cold and not reheated), cold pizza, alcohol.....
I do though like frozen custard.....Milwaukee has some great small local places. Now where I live, we have to settle for Culvers....Dh likes a turtle custard sundae and I like the one with strawberries. He likes a two scoop one but for me, one scoop is more than enough. Once I got used to custard, ice cream seems really kind of boring and plain.
Oh, I didn't think you would punish for accidents anyway, but I was wondering if you said it was against the law so you'd have a way out, or if it was really true.
Only a couple years ago I spilled a glass of red wine on my mom's tablecloth and she blew a gasket about it. I ended up being the one telling her it was okay, instead of the other way around.
All these negative comments on facebook about Obama claiming credit for the death of Bin Laden really tick me off; I feel like I need to put something positive out there for the Pres like "thanks, Barack Obama, for making my life as an expat a whole lot easier...I never get asked why my fellow citizens elected such a twat for a President now." I used to cringe when people asked me about GWB. Any how. That's my complaint of the day.
No kidding....we almost went to France a few years ago and I was picturing having to say Je n'aime pas president Bush all the time....Dh and I are pretty obvious Americans. My friend who is French said that she was always explaining that not all americans like Bush or are like that (she considers my family to be family to her....and nobody in my family likes Bush! I grew up with a family full of democrat liberals).

An investigational drug that targets PARP-mediated DNA repair improved survival in women with metastatic, triple-negative breast cancer, U.S. researchers reported last week at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress in Milan. Updated results from a 121-patient phase II clinical trial showed that a combination of chemotherapy and the PARP inhibitor iniparib improved overall survival by 5 months (12.3 months versus 7.7 months) in women with this difficult-to-treat type of breast cancer compared with women who only received chemotherapy.
Women in the trial who received iniparib also had superior response rates and longer progression-free survival compared with women who only received chemotherapy. The addition of iniparib to chemotherapy did not appear to produce any additional side effects, the researchers reported.
"These data are promising and suggest that iniparib may provide a potential new treatment option for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, which currently has limited therapeutic options," said the trial's lead investigator, Dr. Joyce O'Shaughnessy, who directs the Breast Cancer Research Program at the Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center in Texas, in a news release.

Summer Pinwheels
Hi! We are two sisters who love fabric. Our company is called The Sproutz Store. Check out our blog for great ideas and our ETSY shop for awesome patterns, and fabrics! We hope you enjoy this tutorial for pinwheels. We think they work great for a fun summer centerpiece.
1 layer cake (we used "Dream On" by Urban Chiks)
Heavy weight double-sided fusible interfacing
Eraser (the kind that fits on the end of a pencil)
1. Choose (2) 10" squares from your layer cake for each pinwheel you would like to make.
2. Trim interfacing so it is slightly smaller than your 10" squares of fabric. We trimmed ours to 9 3/4".
3. At the ironing board, lay one fabric square right side down and center your interfacing on top. Put your other 10" fabric square on top of the interfacing right side up. Press until the interfacing is securely attached to the fabric.
4. Trim your squares so that all edges (bottom fabric, interfacing, and top fabric) are even. Make sure you still have a perfect square.
5. From each corner, measure 4 1/2" diagonally to the center and mark. Repeat 3 times. These will be your cutting lines.
6. Cut on lines.
7. Bring every other corner to the center to make your pinwheel shape. Stick a pushpin through the center to secure all four corners.
8. Put your eraser on the end of the dowel and push the pin through. Bend the pin down or trim so it won't be too pokey. If your eraser won't stay on the dowel, use some hot glue to secure.
9. Add a button to the center of the front of your pinwheel. We used hot glue to secure the button.
You are done!
Note: You can also use a charm square to make smaller pinwheels. Use a medium to heavy weight double-sided fusible interfacing. You will need to measure and mark 2 1/2" diagonally from each corner and then trim. You could also trim down some Layer Cake squares to make various sized pinwheels.
1 pinwheel.

I make no bones about it; I'm a dog person. My favorite dog is the Golden Retriever.
JoJo was faithfully at my side for almost 14 years. After she was born, the breeder put a purple string around her neck to identify her from her siblings. I knew she was royalty then and she didn't disappoint. Golden puppies are a magnificent ball of poofy, reddish-blonde hair. And like all puppies they stumble and fall over one another in a flurry of fur. That's how they get you.
JoJo's tail was constantly wagging. Except when she was sleeping but even then there was an occasional thumping that I hoped was a rabbit-chasing dream. She loved to go walking and whenever the leash came out there was an excitement that could barely be contained. She was great with kids who ran to her like bees to a flower. And that soft coat could make a cashmere sweater seem scratchy.
The only health problem she had was her thyroid gland that misfired after she turned a year old. Daily pills took care of that. As she aged that dark red face turned into a soft amber blonde that begged to be cuddled. With all dogs there's poop to police, baths to be struggled over and the occasional open fence which, when you have their nose, can lead to all kinds of trouble. For JoJo it was an afternoon in the McDonald's dump bin.
As I write this my eyes still well up. It's been three years since I lost her. When you become that close to an animal the relationship becomes almost human. She was a hell of a lady.
This is National Pet Month. Many shelters across the Upper Midwest are oases for far too many dogs, cats, you name it. Local businesses are offering drop boxes for food and pet supplies. Please give what you can because lots of little donations add up to big benefits for shelters

The valley's light rail system is poised to surpass all expectation since it launched in 2008. But with that success has come a dangerous problem that police are having a hard time getting a handle on -- jaywalking.
We're talking about people who cross the light rail tracks and jaywalk across busy streets.
We went out had no problem catching many people in the act.
This happens so often, in just the short time we were at a few light rail stations we caught dozens of people. Some felt guilty.
"There is no logic. And I apologize."
Others didn't seem to care.
"But I have to pee. What is the problem?"
After going to the bathroom, that woman actually came back and let us ask her some questions.
Us: "Do you do it all the time?"
Jaywalker: "No. I did it today."
Us: "Is this your first time?"
Jaywalker: "Yeah honestly it is."
Us: "And your last time?"
Jaywalker: "Honestly I can't say that. If I have got to pee I am running."
Some looked right into our camera as they crossed. Others crossed right in front of transit cop. His presence didn't even seem to bother them -- and he didn't cite them either. More on that a little later, but first listen to what this jaywalker told us.
Jaywalker: "It is too hot to like, to walk all the way across cause like the sun is hot and…"
Us: "The crosswalk is like 20 feet away?"
Jaywalker: "It is like over there and if you want to go over here, you see no cars coming anyway you know you are not going to get hit."
Us: "What about getting caught? You could get a ticket."
Jaywalker: "That is why you have to make sure there are not cops around."
But the day we went to 7th Avenue and Camelback station, police were around.
"I just saw people jaywalking over there… they didn't get pulled over," a pedestrian told us.
Regular riders say this happens all the time.
"Every day, every train. I sit there for like 5 minutes. You see about 10 people cross the tracks," says Theresa Johnson.
Teacher Theresa Johnson fears someone is going to get killed.
"I just think it is dangerous. I see people do it and unfortunately there is not enough enforcement. I've never actually seen anyone and I ride the light rail every day. I have never seen anyone get a ticket."
Police tell us that they are constantly handing out tickets, especially at the 19th Avenue and Montebello light rail station.
"I got a stack of 13 of them right here that were written in about 50 minutes last night by 3 officers," says Lt. Adrian Ruiz, Phoenix Police Transit Enforcement.
Lieutenant Adrian Ruiz helps run Phoenix's PD Transit Enforcement Unit.
"I have seen baby strollers bumped over the guideway and run across the street. Cops see that every day. People making the wrong decision for convenience."
"If you are caught crossing the light rail tracks and the street, the ticket can be pretty pricey. It starts at about $75. That's on the low end. On the high end it can cost as much as $500.
Metro has a safety campaign called "Dying To Get There" -- a morbid reminder of the dangers.
"We are always doing outreach for schools for safety. Elementary schools. High schools. We go to ASU," says Melissa Quillard, Metro Light Rail.
But the message isn't getting through some.
"This is an issue with any train system. From the very beginning from the designed phase, the system was actually designed to counter jaywalking."
The warnings at the stations are very clear, but so often ignored. We showed Lieutenant Ruiz the video of the jaywalker crossing right in front of a transit officer -- and while she couldn't speak to this specific incident, she made it clear with only 4 transit officers covering Phoenix's entire bus and rail system at any given time -- this problem can be overwhelming.
"As soon as I left and as soon as these officers left Montebello or any particular area where we have high incidents of crossing midblock at the tracks, there will be 20 to 30 people right behind them," says Ruiz.
So the message from police and light rail is this: "It becomes the individual's responsibility to take safety into their own hands."
With light rail expanding further into Phoenix and Mesa, hopefully the jaywalkers listen before someone gets killed.
Pedestrian fatalities are big problem in the valley. According to government statistics from a few years ago, Phoenix ranked 4th in the nation for pedestrian fatalities behind New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

Natural Radiance - A Sweet Solution:
By Lara Evans Bracciante
Hair has its place: on top of your head. Unfortunately, strays often sprout in other unwanted places, and we struggle to tame, shape, or remove them altogether. We shave, laser, wax, and zap in an exhausting ritual that leaves us feeling pain in our pocketbooks, not to mention on our tender skin. But here''s a sweet solution: sugar.
The scoop on sugaring
Sugaring, an ancient hair removal method, dates back to the Ottoman Empire, when brides prepared for their husbands and their wedding nights by removing all unwanted hair, according to Tamara Marcus, esthetician and spa director of Natural Balance Massage and Wellness Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Sugaring works like this: Whip up a paste of sugar, lemon juice, and water, and apply it to your skin in the same direction as the hair growth.
Then choose from two removal options: hand sugaring and strip sugaring. "With hand sugaring, the paste is a thicker consistency, a little thinner than taffy, and it''s removed with a sort of flicking motion," she says. "Strip sugaring uses the same ingredients but in
a different blend to create a more liquid paste. It is then applied with a metal spatula and removed in strips, like waxing."
Unlike wax, however, the sugar paste only sticks to the hair—and not the skin—for a smooth, nonirritating effect. And unscathed skin is not the only advantage over waxing. Sugaring doesn''t have to be heated to the level of hot wax, so there''s no chance for burning. "It''s warm to the touch so that it''s pliable, but it''s not hot like wax," says Marcus.
In addition, sugaring cleans up with warm water. This means your clothing, towels, and linens remain stain-free. It also means relief from wayward applications. In other words, if you make an error on the bikini line by putting the mixture someplace you didn''t intend, you don''t need to panic. "If you apply sugar to an area of the body and then change your mind, it''s not a problem," Marcus says. Simply remove it with warm water and a towel and start over.
For best results, hair should be about a quarter of an inch long before sugaring. For most people, this means applying once a month: You''ll spend two to three weeks hair-free and a week growing the hair out—and then you''re ready to sugar again. The good news: The new hair growth isn''t irritating like razor stubble, says Marcus. With each application, the hair follicles become narrower, so thinner, less stubborn hair grows back.
Sugaring paste is 100 percent natural, making it especially good for those with chemical allergies. "In my 20 years of doing this, I''ve never seen anyone have a reaction to sugaring," says Marcus. "It''s especially good for people with sensitive skin. And," she adds, "anywhere you can wax, you can sugar—and you can even sugar in some places you probably shouldn''t wax."
Wherever that may be, we didn''t want to know.
