Bras n Things: what happens in a bra fitting?
Admit it: when was the last time you had a professional bra fitting? Never? You're not alone! It's no secret most of us continue wearing the same bras in our underwear drawer, even after losing weight, having kids, or never actually finding out our correct size. Bras n Things have confirmed this for us: apparently 70% of customers in their stores are wearing the wrong size bra!
Seeing as I've never had a professional bra fitting, it's only fair that I go first. I made my way to Bras n Things to find out if I'm in the majority and learn more about what makes the perfect bra!
Westfield: Why is it so important to get a professional bra fitting?
Bras n Things: A great bra improves health, posture, confidence and wellbeing. Not only that, it maximises support to prevent sagging and stretching of the tissue, and provides more comfort – no more aches and pains!
W: Should we have a regular bra fitting, or is it a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing?
BNT: Bodies change shape so regularly, so it's important to have a professional bra fitting every six months. More than 70% of our customers are wearing the wrong size bra because they use their dress size as a guide, their current bras have stretched out of shape or they're simply buying off the shelf without professional advice!
W: What can we expect during a bra fitting? What is the process?
BNT: It's not daunting at all. Our trained Fitting Experts will take two simple measurements over your clothes: one under the bust and one over the bust. These are used as a guide to select a few bras and this is where our training really comes into play! We'll adjust the straps, check for firmness at the back and make sure the underwires are fitting correctly.
W: What should we be looking for in a perfect-fitting bra?
- The bra band provides 80% of the support, so it should sit firmly but comfortably under the bust and horizontally around the body (not riding up). Make sure the bra is fitted on the loosest or first hook when you are fitting the bra, to allow for stretching. You should be able to fit two fingers under the bra band!
- The shoulder straps should be firm but comfortable – not too loose so they fall off and not too tight so they dig in. Again, the width of two fingers is a good indicator that the straps have been adjusted correctly.
- The underwires should lie flat against the ribcage, enclosing the breast without rubbing or digging in to the soft tissue or the armpit.
- The cups should have a smooth outline from both the top and the sides.
W: Are there any red flags to keep an eye out for?
BNT: Yes! When trying your new bra, you don't want any gap or overflow in the bra cups, underwire that digs in, straps that are falling off or marking the shoulders, or back band that's riding up the back.
W: What are the biggest trends in underwear right now?
BNT: Lingerie is having a moment! It's all about the "worn to be seen" look, making lingerie part of your outfit. Bralettes have also become a fashion staple in our wardrobe, while lingerie detail including caging, strapping and high necks is popular too.
W: What pieces should every woman have in her underwear drawer?
- The strapless bra. Our Body Bliss Strapless Bra has a small push-up cup with a great deep neckline that sits perfectly in place. It's the perfect staple.
- The t-shirt bra. A must-have in every wardrobe! The Body Bliss range comes in contour, full cup and a variety of colours.
- The black set. It will make you feel special, sexy and confident. We love our Paris range!
- The bralette. This is the perfect layering piece and is super comfy. The Lucile Bralette comes in multiple colourways and prints for everyday.
- The bodysuit. These bodysuits can be worn by themselves as a fashion piece or underneath as a layering piece.
- The emergency items. Always make sure you have body tape, nipple covers etc, just in case.
W: Shapewear is another key undergarment...
BNT: Shapewear is perfect for every shape and size! It can change the way an outfit looks by sculpting, smoothing or supporting the body shape and highlighting key areas. Each piece targets a specific area so it's good to know what you want to achieve before shopping.
W: When should we be wearing shapewear? Do the different styles work with different styles of clothing?
BNT: Shapewear can be worn at any given time, it's just about what you choose. For example, under a little black dress, you'd go for firm support. Our cooling seam-free garments are a good choice as they also keep you cool! Second skins are a lighter support and have soft fabric, making them perfect for everyday.

Abercrombie & Fitch falls out of fashionAugust 2, 2012: 1:40 PM ET
Shares of Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) were being dissed by investors Thursday after the teen retailer issued disappointing guidance for its second quarter.
The company blamed challenging "macroeconomic conditions" for an expected slowdown in sales growth. Abercrombie, once considered a must-have by trendy teens, has had a rough time since last year. No one is suggesting that last November's lawsuit by Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino of MTV's "Jersey Shore" is to blame, but the retailer has yet to snag a high profile spokesperson.
StockTwits users seem to think Abercrombie has passed its peak.
nickgweezy: The massive drop in $ANF is a lot simpler than earnings. Nobody wears Abercrombie anymore!
Just like high school, if you're not part of the cool crowd, you'll quickly find yourself outside the pack.
retail_guru: Virtually all #retail reports confirm July was very good month $AEO $TJX $M $GPS $LTD$COST all shine. $ANF stand-out dog. Clearly specific
Abercrombie is blaming Europe's problems, which has some merit, given that the debt crisis there is looking like it will get worse before it gets better. But it's also not the only retailer bucking up against that challenge.>
And much like your stock portfolio, being a diversified retailer offers a buffer.

text: Just as their name says, basic tights are one of those items you definitely need in your hosiery collection. The number of styles you can realize with this evergreen piece cannot be counted - they can be a cornerstone in every look, even if you choose to wear them only as an undergarment. There are some considerations to be made prior to your purchase. The most obvious one is the opacity of the product. Calzedonia offers really wide selection of deniers, making sure you'll find the perfect basic tights for each purpose or season. Sheer and ultra-sheer tights will give your legs all the attention they deserve, being as transparent as possible in various skin tones. On the other hand, they won't provide any protection from colder weather. This is where thick, opaque tights jump in: they will cover your legs and even bring them some warmth, especially if you choose the ones made from cotton or cashmere fibers. If you expect even more from them, try some of the shaping models, which will make your silhouette thinner and make you feel more comfortable in every outfit. Want more freedom in movement? Our seamless tights are the perfect choice to pair them with skirts or dresses without any notice. You can find a model even for maternity period, making sure those blissful days will pass in perfect comfort. Admit it - we got you covered for every occasion.

John's Mackey's out of "right field" op ed piece last week in the Wall Street Journal, which condemned Obama's health care plan, probably surprised Republicans more than the millions of characteristically uber-liberal Whole Foods shoppers.
Why, after carefully building the integrity of the Whole Foods brand as THE exemplary brand in the socially and environmentally conscious world of green business, would you throw it all out for a totally off-brand personal (one might say vain) statement by the man who is supposed to represent everything that the company stands for?
It just doesn't make good business sense.
By some estimation (check out Keith Olbermann) the Whole Foods demographic doesn't just skew left; it is left -- by a factor of about 10:1 (or more).
Even though the environmental movement and the social justice movement are indeed two individual movements with different points of view, in the mind of the "conscious" consumer (the marketing term for people who shop at Whole Foods) the two movements have not only converged, they are one in the same.
As I just blogged about in my piece "Is Hate Green?" (detailing the challenge facing companies like GE and Wal-Mart who have green missions but still fund radical hate speech) corporations need to take this trend very seriously.
The Internet has allowed consumers to get more and more informed about the rift between what companies SAY and what companies DO. A good marketing campaign can no longer cover up issues like child labor abuses or toxic chemical additives.
Now, a whole host of blogs, web directories, forums, and apps (like The Good Guide) offer the consumer an at-a-glance inventory of a company's laundry – both dirty and clean.
And as more and more companies adopt CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) plans, progressive consumers are coming to expect, even demand transparency and integrity of the companies they patronize, especially at the upper levels of management.
Now back to Whole Foods, Health Care and the preposterous conspiracy theory, now perpetuated by Mackey, that Obama's plan is going to somehow turn the U.S (with all its minions of pampered Whole Foods shoppers) into a Lenin-era Soviet republic.
Whether you're Republican, Libertarian, or Democrat, you still have to agree that many social service industries should continue to be socialized (i.e. funded by the public) – public education, law enforcement, fire departments, highways, Medicare, etc, etc. Public education will not do away with private schools any more than a public health care option will kill private health care.
So why all the hullabaloo? The U.S is the richest country in the world, yet it consistently shows up at the bottom of every list on health care, lagging far behind even relatively poor industrialized nations (like Slovenia).
Clearly our fully privatized medical system is not working. Doctors aren't happy. Patients aren't happy. The uninsured certainly aren't happy, and the cataclysmic doctor bills that many families now face are contributing to a weak economy. So why not let our elected officials do their job and come up with an alternative? That's what we pay them for.
If you ask me why there is so much controversy it boils down one thing and one thing only – the end of corporate rule in America.
Many corporations – in the financial services (remember the trillion $ bailout?), in the manufacturing sector (remember all those outsourced jobs?), and now in health care -- are furious that they can no longer continue to monopolize their industries at the expense of the American people. And they are spending a lot of money (some estimates say $54 million was spent last week alone in health care PR) to lobby our politicians and confuse the public so that they can continue on in unregulated glory.
But I have news for them. It's not going to work.
Environmentally and socially conscious consumers have woken up to their power. Ironically, Whole Foods was a big part of that awakening. Consumers came in droves to Whole Foods, paying higher prices for organic and sustainable products, proving a business model that defied conventional business logic.
10 years later, even Safeway has an Organics section. So now that 'conscious consumers' have had the taste of power, I don't think they will be giving it up anytime in the near future.
If you doubt me, just look at Whole Food's sales numbers.
If you want to learn more about the Whole Foods boycott which is now in full swing (I just popped my head into one and the place was a dead zone!) check out the Facebook group (which just started a couple days ago and already has 10,000 members). There are also several websites like Common Dreams and the Progressive Review now calling for a formal boycott.

I think the resistance against sand of the ZDS pumps – comparing them to other manufacturers' products – is outstanding. In practice they can bear much more sand than the official recommendation – this is the installer's experience.
Wir sind sehr glücklich darüber, die Fa. ZDS als Partner zu haben.
Utilizzo le elettropompe ZDS dal 2009 nei nostri impianti di osmosi inversa per gli autolavaggi, con molta soddisfazione grazie all'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo dei prodotti.
I'm very satisfied with ZDS pumps and motors.
The only thing I'm not content with regards automatic protections as they cannot be tested during warranty period . This is the reason why I don't order them.
Why do I buy ZDS pumps? The answer is in three words: DRP, Plug&Go and complexity.
Apreciamos la buena calidad de sus motores, el buen servicio y sobre todo la amabilidad recibida.
The other thing is your complete solution system with control panels, where no additional pressure switches are needed. I see this as the biggest benefit. I remember I was quite positively surprised for the first time when I found out about this system in your catalogues.
It is easy and fast to get the pumps. I don't need to do any investigation, it just arrives quickly.
Mit der Plug&GO® Pumpenserie sind wir äußerst zufrieden, weil sie perfekt für die Gartenbewässerung einsetzbar sind.

Yesterday on "Meet the Press," Bob Woodward of the Washington Post displayed documents that outline a "Grand Bargain" the White House offered during debt ceiling negotiations in 2011.
The document in question appears to have been drafted by White House Legislative Affairs Director Rob Nabors, and includes the annotation 'Post Gang of 6' which suggests it was created as Supercommittee talks broke down.
Woodward describes the three-page document as "confidential" and points out Obama's apparent willingness to take on sacred cows such as Medicare and Social Security. Specifically, the president was open to increasing the minimum age for Medicare recipients.
Obama's proposal called for:
- Caps on discretionary spending;
- Extension of the payroll tax cut;
- Increase in the debt ceiling;
- A sequestration mechanism if deficit reduction is not achieved;
- Reduction in spending on Medicare and non-Medicare health programs;
- Changes to Social Security taxes and benefits; and
- Tax reform through simplification and elimination of loopholes.
Some elements of this proposal are now included in the fiscal cliff spending cuts, such as the reduction in Medicare spending. The package would have also called for at least $836 billion in increased revenues through unspecified tax reform.
The Obama administration's proposal, like the Supercommittee's agreement, contains a sequestration mechanism. However, Obama's sequestration appears much more politically palatable for Republicans, at face value, than the proposal that ultimately passed. The entirety of the spending cuts would be in Medicare and Medicaid – not defense – and the bottom four rates of the Bush tax cuts (10%, 15%, 25%, and 28%) would be preserved.
If Obama is as open to entitlement reform as this proposal indicates – and Congressional Democrats go along with potential cuts in benefits – there is a very good chance that he and Republican leadership will find enough common ground to reach an agreement that avoids the fiscal cliff.
Here is the document via Meet The Press:

I have been reading Pippenger and Spencer's paper "Asymptotic behavior of the chromatic index for hypergraphs" and they comment that their result is applicable to the family of random k-uniform hypergraphs $G_k(n,p)$ whenever $p(n) = o(1)$ and $\frac{\log n}{n^{k-1}} = o(p(n))$.
I'm looking for a proof of this.
Let $d(G)$ and $D(G)$ denote the minimum and maximum degree of $G$ respectively. Let $C(G)$ denote the maximum co-degree in $G$: given $x,y \in V$, then $cod(x,y) = | \{ e \in E : x,y \in e \} |$. Basically, their theorem says that if
$d(G) \sim D(G)$ and $C(G) = o(D(G))$
then $\chi^{\prime}(G) \sim D(G)$ and $\phi(G) \sim D(G)$, where $\chi^{\prime}$ stands for the chromatic index and $\phi$ denote the largest number of coverings into which the edges of $G$ can be partitioned. In particular, this implies that asymptotically a.s. there is a perfect matching. Note that taking $k=2$ we get that we need $p(n) \gg \log n/n$, which is a well-known result by Erdos and Renyi.
Let $H = G_k(n,p)$ and let $p = p(n)$ be such that $p(n) = o(1)$ and $\frac{\log n}{n^{k-1}} = o(p(n))$. I would appreciate if someone could tell me where can I find a proof of $D(H) \sim d(H)$ and $C(H) = o(D(H))$ or give me some explanations. How do we study the behavior of the co-degree?
Thanks a lot

18.104.22.168 Representation of cloud processes in models
Over the last 10 years, the generalised availability of satellite retrievals (OLR, water path, cloud cover, cloud top temperature) has strongly increased the possibility of assessing clouds simulated by climate models, in spite of remaining uncertainties concerning the vertical structure of the cloud systems, of large importance for all feedback effects. Yet this remains a very difficult task, which may be illustrated by a few figures. Recent simulations of equilibrium climate with a doubling of CO2 indicate that the induced variation of net cloud radiative forcing short-wave or long-wave, ranges within ±3 Wm-2, which is a small fraction of the cloud mean long-wave warming (30 to 35 Wm-2) or cloud mean short-wave cooling (45 to 50 Wm-2) (Le Treut and McAvaney, 2000; Figure 7.2). Although most models simulate CRF values within the uncertainty range of the observed values, the discrepancy in terms of response to CO2 increase is large, both in sign, amplitude, and share between long-wave and short-wave. This disagreement (amplified by the water vapour feedback) reflects the sensitivity of the simulated feedbacks to model formulation (Watterson et al., 1999; Yao and Del Genio, 1999; Meleshko et al., 2000) and is the cause of the large spread in model climate sensitivity (see Figure 7.3; and Chapters 8 and 9). The correct simulation of the mean distribution of cloud cover and radiative fluxes is therefore a necessary but by no means sufficient test of a model's ability to handle realistically the cloud feedback processes relevant for climate change.
Satellite records provide some access to the study of natural climate fluctuations, such as the seasonal or ENSO cycles, which can be used to test the ability of the models to represent different feedbacks. At these time-scales, however, cloud structures are characterised by large shifts in their latitudinal or longitudinal position, as well as changes in their vertical distribution in response to SST changes. Only those latter effects are really relevant to test climate models in the context of climate change. Bony et al. (1997) have shown that in the inter-tropical regions, it was possible to isolate them by looking at the dependence of cloud properties on SST for specified dynamical regimes. These regressions are remarkably consistent when carried out with different sets of independent data (ISCCP, ERBE, TOVS, SSMI) and offer a constraining test for models. Similar methodologies are being developed for the mid-latitudes (Tselioudis et al., 2000). It is encouraging, though, that CCM3 has demonstrated considerable accuracy in the reproduction of regional all-sky long-wave and short-wave radiation budgets (Kiehl et al., 1998).
Since the SAR, there has been progress in the qualitative understanding of the complexity of cloud/climate relation. There is also an important and ongoing evolution of the cloud parametrizations included into the models, which is characterised by a greater physical consistency and a greatly enhanced physical content: in particular many models now include a more comprehensive representation of sub-grid scales, convective or turbulent, and explicit microphysics, liquid or ice. Simulation of current climate with those advanced models demonstrate capability to reproduce realistically many features of the cloud radiative forcing and its seasonal variations, for both the solar and terrestrial components.
In spite of these improvements, there has been no apparent narrowing of the uncertainty range associated with cloud feedbacks in current climate change simulations. A straight-forward approach of model validation is not sufficient to constrain the models efficiently and a more dedicated approach is needed. This should be favoured by a greater availability of satellite measurements.

Day's Best: Rescue of mother and child trapped under car
Good Samaritans and police officers were able to lift a car off a mother and child trapped after a traffic accident Monday night in Aurora.
Thank goodness they were able to work together in this emergency to rescue the pair.
The mother suffered serious injuries, but the child, a 2-year-old girl had just cuts on her head and legs. Twin boys, age 4, also were with the mother, but neither was seriously injured. Authorities said none of the injuries was life-threatening.
The accident happened about 6:25 p.m., as the group was crossing in the 14200 block of East Exposition Avenue, near a Walmart. They weren't in a crosswalk or using a pedestrian signal.
It's an unfortunate accident, but one that is a good reminder about the importance of using crosswalks, particularly at night and in busy commercial areas.

Kenny Boynton Jr. (2009) scored 26 points leading his team to a win in the open division championship game of the Reebok Summer Championships just outside of Las Vegas.
Breakdown lost the second game of the tournament to D-One Sports, but this game was never in doubt as indicated by the 81-64 score.
Brandon Knight (2010) chipped in 24 points. Team Breakdown (Florida) avenged an earlier loss to D-One Sports which features John Wall who averaged 23.6 for the tournament and Ryan Kelly (16.6).
It was Knight that helped his team in the two prior games where he scored 25 and 22 which was a key to advancing. Team Breakdown finished the event 8-1.
Boynton and Knight told the Blue Devil Nation at an earlier event that their goal was to win the title and both mentioned coming close wasn't the way they wanted to close out the summer. Their team lost in the final to Belmont Shores last year. Kenny Boynton, of course is being heavily recruited by the Blue Devils and has long been their top target in the class of 2009.
Weekend scoring totals -
Kenny Boynton - 33, 21, 26, 26, 25, 17, 12, 14, 26 - 22.2
Brandon Knight - 26, 24, 2, 19, 22, 20, 25, 22, 24 - 20.4

- "Ahh!"
- ―Grampa's catchphrase
- "And that's how you do it"

- "Oh, I'm Santa. Oh, now I will never die!"

Abraham "Abe" Jay-Jedediah Simpson II, also known as "Grifty McGrift" and "Grandfather Simpson", or simply as "Grandpa" is the patriarch of the Simpson family, father-in-law of Marge Simpson, the father of Homer, Herbert and Abbie Simpson, and the paternal grandfather of Bart, Lisa , Maggie Simpson and Homer Jr. He is also the maternal grandfather of Jessica Simpson. He is also the Ex-boyfriend of Jacqueline Bouiver.
Abe is a World War II veteran who was later sent to the Springfield Retirement Castle by Homer. He is known for his long, rambling, and often inaccurate stories and general incompetence.
Almost all of Grampa's biographical information is supplied by himself. Many of his stories seem to be wildly inaccurate, often physically or historically impossible, and occasionally inconsistent, even with each other, suggesting that Abe is senile (though his reaction to Bart's reaction to one of his stories implies that he is aware that he is being inconsistent). As such, all information provided is taken with a grain of salt
He is a member of the stonecutters, masons and communists, as well as being president of the gay and lesbian alliance for some reason.
Additionally, he suffers from sporadic narcoleptic attacks. Every day he calls horrible and he waits for his death, which will probably not happen during the Simpsons episodes and seasons. In one episode, Lisa finds out that silvertongue helps calm scorpions. Homer tries it on Grampa. It worked and he acted nice and tame. He is sometimes wise and sometimes doesn't even talk about things that make sense to the conversation everybody is having.
Abraham Jedediah Simpson, perennially known as "Grampa" Simpson, was born in the "Old Country", and grew up in New York. Eliza Simpson, an indirect relative of his, apparently helped a slave (his great-great-grandfather, to be exact) escape to Canada, which is possibly the aforementioned "Old Country", explaining why he was born there in the first place and why it apparently took a short time ("the next day", according to him) for his family to move to New York by boat, considering Canada's proximity to New York. He also says he served in the first world war, but he had to lie about his age being around five at the time, if what he said about the war was even true.
Life in the Army
In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Abe was participating in the javelin event. His throw nearly hit Hitler, who was watching in the stands. Unfortunately, it missed and hit the man who was about to assassinate him. At a later date, Grampa claimed he and Hitler laughed about it.[1]Abe's recollections of his World War II experiences are sometimes implausible. Abe was not initially keen to fight in Europe. After the United States declared war he supposedly tried to avoid service by dressing in drag and playing for a women's baseball team in 1942, which kept him from serving for a year before he was eventually discovered during a game. Later on, he and his unit served in The Battle of the Bulge, where he nearly succeeded in assassinating Hitler (though Montgomery Burns thwarted it at the last moment), almost a year later, they then invade an abandoned castle owned by the Nazis and flushed the Nazis out, though Montgomery tries to remove some paintings. Although he opposed the decision, and was morally against the idea, he ended up deciding to let Burns do it, though only so he might have a nest-egg after retirement. After "liberating" a stash of priceless art from the Nazis, Abe's unit (the Flying Hellfish) formed a tontine, and buried the art in a trunk at sea. Decades later, Charles Montgomery Burns tries to murder Abe in order to get the art, prompting Abe to violate the tontine. When Abe and Bart retrieve the art from Burns after a spectacular confrontation, the State Department arrives to give the art to their "rightful" owner, Baron von Herzenberger, a snooty young German aristocrat (this part implies that this did happen). Abraham fathered an illegitimate daughter in the United Kingdom the day before he joined the D-Day operations in Normandy. This daughter is seen in the same episode lending further credence to the idea that he served in Europe. Moreover, he once showed Bart and Lisa an album with photos of Germans killed by his platoon. He was also awarded the Iron Cross for accidentally directing U.S. jeeps into Nazi minefields. Another piece of information to support this idea is, in the episode "In the Name of the Grandfather", he came to O'Flannigan's pub in Ireland a long time ago in his WWII sergeant's uniform. Abe once dressed as a women dancer in disguise and made sexual motions towards Adolf Hitler but when he leaned in down one of the fruits in his bra fell onto the stage and Adolf Hitler gagged.
Abraham also claims to have served in the Navy during World War Two. He served as a pilot on an aircraft carrier with his Brother, Cyrus, and Montgomery Burns in Simpsons Christmas stories. He also served on a destroyer called the USS World War One during world war two in Thursdays with Abie. The USS world war One was sunk by a heat seeking torpedo they fired the other day. After the ship was sunk Abe and his fellow sailors rode on the back of sharks to avoid being eaten by them and had them swim in formation to spell a rescue message. It is also implied that they also tamed and befriended the sharks in question. Abraham also says he served on PT boat 109 where he heard John F. Kennedy speaking in German ("Ich bin ein Berliner"). Abe claims that he is a Nazi and he and the fellow sailors tackle Kennedy.
He boasts of having been a watchman at Pearl Harbor (falling asleep on duty), and claims that President Grover Cleveland spanked him on two nonconsecutive occasions. Also, in 1947, he met future Itchy creator and bum Chester Lampwick, and he offered him a plate of Corn Muffins under the condition that Lampwick paint his chicken coop. However, he never did, resulting in Abe carrying a grudge against him. Lampwick later revealed that this was because the Corn Muffins were "lousy."
Afterwards, he went to the carnival, and encountered a prostitute, thus resulting in the procreation of his illegitimate son, Herb Powell. He then married Mona, and after having a bit of his tonic with her, they made love and accidentally procreated Homer. Mona, shortly after Homer's birth, also made Abe swear not to tell Homer that he has a half brother. He continued to use the Simpson Farm until the bank foreclosed the farm in 1963 due to the Cows producing sour milk, theorizing that something must have spooked them good (unknown to Abe, the reason why the cows were spooked was because Homer had traumatized them by running around and yelling at them). When Homer aspired to become President of the United States (more specifically President Kennedy), Abe had beat Homer down for thinking that Homer even had a chance of becoming President. After moving from the farm, they settle in an apartment, and watched the third Super Bowl, which indirectly made him responsible for his wife becoming a hippie. He then was dragged to Woodstock, and after scolding Homer for emulating the Hippie lifestyle, attempted to send him off to the Vietnam War. After Mona was forced to run away from home after destroying Mr. Burns's Germ Warfare Lab, he lied to Homer by claiming that Mona died when he was at the movies.
It was Abe's mediocre fathering that caused Homer to turn out the way he is today. If he was a better father, Homer would have been better too.
In a clip show in Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind, Abe is seen arguing with Mona until she storms out, and then as a single father, suffering to pay the bills and then resorting to alcoholism and completely ignoring Homer.Abe was not a good father to Homer but they both have shared their own moments of father/son relationship.
Rise to Fame
The whole family go on a visit to Wet 'N' Wacky World. When the rest of the family are watching Slimu, Grampa stays on a shark bench and recalls how he once rode a shark. Then a newspaper columnist called Marshall Goldman turns up, and is interested in his stories. Soon the whole of Springfield is reading them. Despite being offered a chance for Mitch Albom to write about him, Grampa sticks with Marshall, who is constantly with him writing what he says. Homer comes to visit his father, but Abe rejects him. While Homer is submitting a column to the shopper about Mr. Burns (who Homer uses as an adoptive father to get back at Abe), he sneaks into Marshall's office, and finds out that Marshall is planning to kill Abe at precisely 3pm on the Tinseltown Starliner, and even has the article and award application ready. Meanwhile at Springfield Union Station, Abe is aboard the train with Marshall, and despite Homer's many attempts to warn him, Abe has no idea because of hearing problems. When he is sleeping, Marshall is just about to suffocate him when Homer jumps aboard and stops him, not expecting Marshall to pull out a knife, and then retrieve a gun form the pillow. They both wrestle for control of the gun when Abe gets up and hits Marshall on the head with a bottle, but this has no effect. When putting his hands up to surrender, he grabs the trains emergency brake lever, which sends Marshall flying back and causes him to be crushed by luggage. Both Homer and Grampa then embrace, and the family is back together. In the end Abe decides to let Homer tell the story of how he saved Homer's life (his first ramble) and Homer ends up talking about Godzilla and The Rolling Stones. In one episode, Abe won the senior olympics.[2]
Life today
Due to his apparent senility, Abe is often ignored by Homer and other cast members, and is alternatively content with this, resentful of this, or completely unaware of his being ignored. Abe is very friendly with Jasper and the Crazy Old Man, like Hans Moleman, Abe often appears in recurring gags. He is also very unlucky and forgetful at times sometimes forgetting where he lives or where his son lives. Abe has also had many affairs with lots of women, such as Beatrice Simmons in the episode "Old Money" where she died and left Abe an inheritance of $106,000. He has also married Selma in the episode "Rome-old and Juliet". Abe has also had many relatives in The Simpsons who he has mentioned in his stories several times. Abe has also acted as a good father to Homer at times and has also acted as a good grandfather to Bart, Lisa and Maggie. However, he does not like cheekiness from Homer, Bart, or Lisa; he also demands to be treated right and he reckons he is just as important as the others. He has also had an affair with Jackie Bouvier Marge's mother in the episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover."
For forty-five years Abe was a security guard. Within his elderly years he was a Sprawl-Mart greeter in Eddystone Pa, a cartoon writer, and a traveling salesman of an aphrodisiac.
Homer Jay Simpson
Abe was not a particularly caring father to Homer, as evidenced at one point when he tells his son, "Homer, you're dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!" Homer does not normally appear to resent these casual abuses, though in one episode in which Abe calls Homer an accident, years of pent up anger on Homer's part leads to a temporary estrangement. Homer also takes every opportunity to ignore or eject his father, whom he placed in a dilapidated retirement home. Abe held a variety of postwar jobs, including a farmer in Homer's early childhood until the bank foreclosed. Abe was also a watchman at a cranberry silo for forty years. He spent most of this time living in a house he won on a crooked 1950s game show until he sold it to help Homer buy a house for his family. Abe moved in with the family, but was sent to a retirement home some three weeks later. Abe was also angered about Homer's role in ensuring of the Trappuccino incident, yelling "I'm part of the mob!" when Homer inquired on his safety. However, Abe was shown to have geuinine care for Homer, as seen in "Gone Abie Gone" when Homer was a youth, he was hospitalized after an accident at Abe's wedding (where he married Rita LaFleur) and decide to remain with Homer at the hospital, as she went to Europe for a tour instead of Abe going aside her.
Other familyAbraham Simpson is estranged husband to Mona Simpson, father to Homer Simpson, father-in-law to Marge Simpson and paternal grandfather to siblings Bart, Hugo, Lisa, Maggie and Ling. He also fathered two illegitimate children; a daughter named Abbie by a British lady named Edwina while in England during World War II and Herbert Powell with a carnival hooker. He was briefly married to Amber, the same woman Homer married on a Vegas binge. Also in The Simpsons Uncensored Family Album, the family tree shows his parents' names to be Orville Simpson and Yuma Hickman. Abe's brother Cyrus appeared in the "Simpsons Christmas Stories" episode. Cyrus lives in Tahiti with multiple wives. In "Million Dollar Abie" mentions that he has a brother named Bill.
He was married for several years to Mona, who became entranced with the hippie lifestyle after watching Joe Namath on TV. She became a fugitive from justice after she abetted in the sabotage of a biological weapons research lab on germs, owned by Charles Montgomery Burns. Abe had no interest in this, instead focussing on the TV. Mona was forced to leave to give the two a better life. Abe tells a nine-year-old Homer that Mona died while Homer was at the movies. Abe and Homer also don't seem to get along as seen in several episodes where they are usually arguing amongst themselves.
Grampa Simpson is an old, grizzled, periodically incontinent and quite senile man, who lives in the Springfield Retirement Castle; which is a sad, lonely place filled with demented, crippled and depressed old people (a sign near the entrance says "Thank you for not discussing the outside world"). Abe also informs Lisa that residents are not allowed to read newspapers because "they angry up the blood". His closest friend appears to be Jasper, a fellow Retirement Castle resident.
He spends a good deal of his time writing letters of complaint. He once wrote to the President, complaining that there were too many states, and requesting that they get rid of three of them (simultaneously insisting that he was "not a crackpot"). He also wrote to "the sickos at Modern Bride Magazine" about his disgust at not seeing "one wrinkled face" or "a single toothless grin" in the publication. He also owns a 49-star American flag, because of his undefined hatred of the state of Missouri: "I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missoura."
He also is soundly rooted in his antiquated ways: "The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it." Like many of his fellow Retirement Castle residents, Abe is a devoted follower of Matlock. He even supports tearing down the Simpsons' house in order to complete construction of the proposed "Matlock Expressway". He seems to believe Matlock is a real person, suggesting they call him in to solve real-life crimes: "I say we call Matlock. He'll find the culprit. It's probably that evil Gavin MacLeod or George 'Goober' Lindsey." During a Matlock public appearance, Abe and Jasper swipe Matlock's pills, which were needed to prevent him from having a spastic heart failure. Once, reflecting on his lifetime, he lamented it as terribly boring and full of unruly teenagers, but then decided it was alright because "we did have two shows with Andy Griffith." He joins the mob when it was revealed Homer contaminated Springfield Lake and barely refrained from killing Marge, Lisa and Bart with a shotgun.
Grampa also had a habit of telling stories about his past though a lot of the time these stories didn't really happen. Presumably his senility caused him to think he really did have these experiences; alternatively he could have simply been lying about them. However at least one of his stories was true; the one about the Flying Hellfish.
Non Canon Appearances
Treehouse of Horror
- In Treehouse of Horror IV, in the section Bart Simpson's Dracula, the Simpsons have to kill the head vampire. The Simpsons are then eating dinner and Lisa finds out that her whole family is vampires, including Grandpa, who pretends to be the head vampire when in reality Marge is. Lisa mistakenly killed Burns but she should've killed Marge. The Simpsons then say Happy Halloween while going through a Charlie Brown Christmas Special ending parody.
- In Treehouse of Horror V, in the segment The Shinning he appears in the car asleep and in a hotel room, when he saw Homer he said "Hi David, I'm Grandpa!"
- In Treehouse of Horror XI, he is killed by many mad people in the opening and eaten by a dolphin in Night of the Dolphin.
- In Treehouse of Horror XIV, Homer throws a burning log at Abe when he meant to get the kids after they were fighting. While on fire, Abe laments "I'm still cold".
The Simpsons Game
He first appears in the level Mob Rules as one of the people Marge can bring into her mob to protest the sale of the Grand Theft Scratchy videogame to minors. His younger self appears in Medal of Homer to give Bart and Homer orders as for what to do in each of the two missions.
The Simpsons Road Rage
He is one of the characters you unlock at the beginning of the game, his car is The Shriner.
Behind the Laughter
Groening famously named the five main Simpson characters after members of his own family: his parents, Homer and Marge (or Marjorie in full), and his younger sisters, Lisa and Margaret (Maggie). Claiming that it was a bit too obvious to name a character after himself, he chose the name "Bart," an anagram of brat.[3][4] When it came time to give Grampa Simpson a first name, Groening says he refused to name him after his own grandfather, Abraham Groening, leaving it to other writers to choose a name. By coincidence, the writers chose the name Abraham, unaware that it was also the name of Groening's grandfather.[5]
- He once told the people at the bank that he was King Olaf of Sweden so he could get some money, and later went to explain.
- He mixes up facts and often, when he tells stories, not everything is true.
- He used to be a member of the WWII troops The Flying Hellfish.
- He is one of the few characters to have the beard line, the others are Homer, Lenny and Bart (future, Lisa's Wedding).
- In Holidays of Future Passed, he thinks Santa lives forever, and is angry about not dying.
- He's 83 years old, while Homer Simpson is 36 making him 47 years old when Homer was born.
- In recent episodes, his war experiences aren't mentioned because it will show that he is in his 90s.

"Up until now, we weren't sure how deep brain stimulation would affect driving," said study author Carsten Buhmann, MD, of University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany. "On the one hand, it might enhance driving ability by improving the motor problems which occur with Parkinson's disease, but on the other hand, it might hamper driving because it potentially causes a decline in executive cognitive skills." The study involved 23 people who had deep brain stimulators, 21 people with Parkinson's disease who did not have stimulators and 21 people who did not have Parkinson's disease. All of the participants had been driving at least once a week for more than 30 minutes within the previous three years. All were tested with a driving simulator.
Those with stimulators completed the test three times: once with the stimulator on, once with it off and once with the stimulator off and after they were given the Parkinson's drug levodopa. Looking at driving errors, the people with Parkinson's without stimulators performed worse than the control participants in every category except one, while the people with deep brain stimulators did not perform significantly worse than the controls in any category, and even performed better in the category of slight errors.
Those with stimulators had an average of 3.8 slight driving errors on the test, compared to 7.5 for the controls and 11.4 for those with Parkinson's disease who did not have stimulators. When looking at the tests of people with stimulators when they were turned on or off and off with levodopa, the driving was more accurate with stimulation on than with levodopa, with a total of 13 errors during the test on levodopa, compared to 11 with stimulation and 14 with neither treatment. The study was supported by the Georg & Jürgen Rickertsen Foundation in Hamburg. To learn more about Parkinson's disease, please visit www.aan.com/patients.

Rose Art Museum to host Family Day on Saturday, April 20
The Rose Art Museum will host "Family Day at the Rose Art Museum" from 12 to 3 p.m. on the front lawn Saturday, April 20. The event is free and organized by curatorial intern Abdul Aziz Sohail '13.
Families are invited to enjoy art-making activities and picnicking. Guided and kid-friendly discussions of the Rose's exhibitions of modern and contemporary art will also be available. Discussions in Spanish will be provided upon request.
This is the first ever Family Day. Sohail, who had the opportunity to work on an independent project as part of his curatorial internship, chose to pursue education programming for the Waltham community.
"Family Day is an event that fits our mission and our need to reach out to Brandeis, Waltham, and beyond," said Sohail. "At the same time, Brandeis students will interact with the Waltham community, so it is a great opportunity to have this two-way conversation."
The Rose's director of academic pograms, Dabney Hailey; office manager Nicole Rosenberg and Alexa Miller, who works with the Student Guide Program, have advised Sohail on this project.
Members of the Student Committee for the Rose Art Museum (SCRAM) and Waltham Group will act as guards and gallery guides.
For more information, visit the Rose website or contact Sohail. Free parking will be available in the H and T parking lots.

Today is MOVING DAY! As you can imagine, I've been day dreaming of perfectly organized everything at the new house. In this day dream, each closet, cabinet and pantry is stocked and tidy all of the time - and I never leave towels on the floor, and Emma picks up after herself... and doesn't splatter paint on the cabinets/walls. Notice that Mike is left out of this day dream because Mike is actually the (only?) one in our household who will actually put everything back where he got it, his clothes will be put in the hamper and keep his drawers and closet perfectly perfect.
Baking Pantry Post
Linen Storage Post
In fact it might surprise you to know there is a quote that I love, "a well-kept house is a sign of a poorly lived life." So much truth to that. I don't want keeping a home to rule my life, but I don't want a messy home keeping me from enjoying every second either.
Emma's Nursery Post
SO. What I do want to attempt to do is make the process of keeping a home easier. Having clutter in closets, pantries and cabinets gives me stress. I want not to spend my time at the end of the day picking up after myself. I want to spend it drinking wine on the couch... or in my new bath tub.
Here are my goals :
1) I want there to be a place for everything.
2) I want us to have less clutter and consume less.
3) I want everything to function and be easy to keep clean.
4) I want every corner of the house to be stress-free.
5) I want to spend less time picking up at the end of the day, and more time drinking wine : )
Who's with me? I know that the Spring Cleaning frenzy was a couple of months ago, but I'm challenging you to look at your home - what areas drive you crazy? What closet gives you a headache? Does your kitchen keep you from actually cooking?
I'm looking for support! Do you have really creative home organizing ideas that work really well?
Here is the challenge :
1) Take an area of your house that brings you down and transform it into something pretty.
3) Use an Everyday Occasions product to help you - Fresh and Clean Bottles, Glass Spice Jars, Linens, Kitchen Brushes... or any of my products that helped you!
3) Send a photo to me of the After (don't worry about a Before picture!) to email@example.com subject : Fresh & Clean Challenge
4) Deadline : June 1st
You'll be entered for a chance to win a $250 gift card for my store! I can't wait to see what you all come up with : )
Happy Post-Spring Cleaning!

Some of you who saw my piece last month for the Globalist, "The Middle East's Voracious Hunger for Energy," wondered if I could post some charts showing the data underlying the argument. Here are three.
The piece argues that the Middle East's rising oil consumption, driven by access to cheap government-subsidized oil, is becoming more central to global oil market fundamentals. These countries are facing a growing appetite for their own oil, which limits the amount they can export. Unless government leaders in the region chart a new course by addressing subsidies, the implications for their fiscal positions, as well as for world oil supply, are problematic.
As I explain in the piece: "Unlike the BRIC countries, the Middle East's strong growth in demand for oil has mostly stayed under the radar. In the first decade of the 21st century, it rose by 56%, more than twice the increase seen across Latin American and Asian Pacific nations, and four times the global average. Although it was no match for China's 90% growth, in absolute terms the region gulps close to as much oil (8.1 million barrels a day in 2011) as the Middle Kingdom does (9.7 million barrels a day), according to 2012 data in the BP Statistical Review of World Energy."
So why the surging demand growth in the region? Population growth is part of the story. So is oil-driven electricity demand, notably in Saudi Arabia, where two thirds of power generated comes from direct crude burn. Add to that list consumers who enjoy ultra low fuel prices. All in all, energy demand per capita in the region has risen remarkably over the last few decades, and the size of the consumer base has expanded.
Take a look at the energy intensity of these economies, or the amount of energy they use to produce a unit of GDP. As the chart below illustrates, the energy intensity of Middle Eastern economies is head and shoulders above most anywhere else—including China.
While the energy intensity of the world as a whole has been trending downward in recent decades, not so the Middle East. The energy intensity of its economies surpassed the global average in the mid-1980s and has kept rising.
The Middle East's growth in GDP per capita since 1971 has been more or less on par with several other parts of the developing world.
So the story appears in large part to be one of a region whose economy and energy mix has become more and more structurally dependant on cheap oil, thanks to public subsidies, and rising population growth. Of the $192 billion of oil subsidies doled out around in the world in 2010, $121 billion of them were in OPEC, according to IEA figures. It's astounding to consider that Saudi Arabia, for example, has an economy one-sixth the size of Germany and yet consumes as much oil. It never hurts oil demand growth when a gallon of gas costs less than a dollar, as it does in places like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. But it can become a costly habit.

Do you really know how to take care of black children's hair? Of course you know because it is just similar to taking care of you own hair. Black hair is a result of the proper caring of it. You simply have to do extra effort to maintain the loveliness of it.
You should shampoo the black hair with the specific shampoo that will suit your children's flowing hair. As they will grow older, you can use conditioners that will help keep their hair moist and will act as a hydrating agent. Conditioners should not be done everyday because this will then cause falling of hair.
Conditioners you will buy should contain the natural oils so that the black hair of your children will nourish further and will not get so dry. You should comb your children's hair lightly and gently starting at the base of the hair. Avoid using fine tooth combs but instead use combs that have wide tooth.
Put your hand above the spot you are combing so that the children would not experience pain. Do not super tight the braids and or pigtails because this can damage the hair and can cause breakage. Another tip on how to take care of black children's hair is by limiting the use of beads since this can cause trauma because some of the beads are heavy so one should use appropriate accessories at the right time to avoid any problem. When the hair is kinky then it is better to use a good detangling spray. So these are some of the tips on how to take care of a black children's hair.
African American Hair Braiding Styles Are Quite Attractive To The Young Generation-Why
Dominican hair products and hair stylists are quickly earning an outstanding reputation throughout the United States. I am sure that many wonder if this is just a new fad or if the products and stylists actually deserve their reputation. To determine their credibility lets analyze their hair treatment process.
What hair products do they use?
Dominican stylists like others use the popular name brand products such as, Sebastian, Biolage, Paul Mitchell, Nexus etc. However, they also use the traditional Dominican hair products made out of natural fruits, vegetables, or animal protein.
What is their styling process?
After washing the hair they apply the hair conditioner. Then cover hair with a plastic cap and let you sit under the bonnet dryer for ten to twenty minutes. Later they will rinse it out and do hair rollers. After that you will probably be sitting on the drier anywhere from half an hour to one hour. This depends mostly on your hair type and length. Afterwards, they will move in to styling your hair. If you just want your hair straight this is the time when they will straighten the curls or waves left by rollers with a blow dryer. They rarely like to just blow dry hair without doing the rollers first.
Another Reason why their products and styling process fit everyone is because their main focus is the maintenance and treatment of hair. By deep conditioning it, they diminish the amount of harm that we do to our hair with harsh chemicals such as hair color, relaxers, perms, highlights, etc.. They also control the amount of direct heat to individual strands by limiting or avoiding the use of blow dryers and hot irons.

Experienced Children's Dentist in Bellevue
Tooth decay can begin at any age and children are particularly susceptible. Almost half of the children aged 2 - 11 years have had decayed baby teeth, while 32% of kids between ages 9 – 11 years have had decay in their permanent teeth. Baby formula with added sugar and heavily-sugared fruit juices that young children are given are major contributing factors to these numbers. Even a mother's milk can cause cavities in baby teeth because it's slightly sweet.
Care for baby teeth should begin as soon as the first tooth breaks through. Dr. Song, like all dentists, recommends that you bring your child in for an exam no later than his or her first birthday. And regular six-month check-ups after that are suggested, as with adults. Dr. Song can give you advice and tips for keeping your child's teeth decay-free and healthy.
There are also are things you as a parent can do to prevent your child from falling victim to early tooth decay before the first dental visit:
- Your baby's teeth should always be flushed with water or wiped down with a damp cloth after feeding, especially before they fall asleep. Allowing the milk or formula residue to sit on the gums can promote decay on the teeth breaking through. If the decay is left untreated it can eventually lead to infection and pain for your child.
- Try to wean your child off breastfeeding or bottled milk by one year old. This will help avoid decay and will lessen the chance that teeth will grow in crooked due to sucking.
- Begin brushing as soon as the first tooth breaks the skin. Even a small surface can develop decay. At first, begin brushing with a soft bristled brush and water. Ask your dentist when it's ok to begin using a small amount of toothpaste.
- Once your child is old enough to begin brushing on his or her own, continue to monitor their brushing, going back to clean any areas they may have missed.
- Don't give bottles of sugary drinks or milk before bedtime
- Use a straw with sugary drinks. This allows the tooth to have less contact with the liquid.
- Try to limit the overall sugary foods your child eats and drinks.

The Wood Pile a Community Interest Company, founded by Karen Stubbings.
The aim is to reduce the amount of wood going to landfill and incinerators by means of recycling/upcycling, wood and furniture are not only collected from waste streams they are also donated, bought at auctions, charity shops and markets. We get such items as fencing, panels, plywood boards, doors, floorboards and any such types of wood, along with many different types of furniture.
Many people will just discard their old furniture when they think it has served its purpose or too damaged or disheveled to be used, what we see is an opportunity to take that furniture, repair the damages, give it a fresh coat of paint and wax it, to make it look good as new or give it that "Shabby Chic" look, and then sell the items in our shop, as well as our warehouse.

Have you longed to feel the rancid breath of a giant ape on your face as he leaps over your head to attack a rampaging Tyrannosaurus Rex? If so, you're in the luck. Filmmaker Peter Jackson has helped Universal Studios relaunch their "King Kong" theme park ride, which will open its doors this summer. Remember to pack your banana hammock.
The first trailer for Capcom's upcoming live-action adaptation of "Dead Rising" has appeared online. It's cheap, it's ugly, and it's extremely violent. In other words, I'm giddy with excitement.
Anchor Bay recently announced they have acquired the rights to Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo's "After Life," a new horror/thriller starring Christina Ricci, Justin Long, and Liam Neeson. When this thing will see the light of day is still anybody's guess.

(1) Rescue the captives.
Important Items...[edit]
This side quest is earned in a rather sad way. You'll likely encounter the man who gives you this side quest while working your way through the main task known as They Went That-a-Way . While heading through that lengthy main-quest mission, you'll almost certainly have to explore a burned-out and destroyed town known as Nipton. Nipton is en route to Novac (your ultimate destination during that mission), so missing it is difficult. When you arrive, head to the town's trading post, which is one of the buildings that still stands and can be explored. Inside, you'll find a man named Boxcars (yes, Boxcars), and as you'll find out, Boxcars has a rather interesting tale to tell.
It appears that Boxcars and his entire town were the victims of the Legion, which you've heard about and will continue to hear about throughout your journey. The Legion is the foil of the NCR, the latter being a group attempting to restore law, order and government. The Legion came to Nipton, held one of their famous lotteries (which basically consists of killing most of the people in a town, village or settlement in the most heinous ways possible), and then letting a few people live. Well, Boxcars is one of the lucky ones... if you can even call him that. Instead of killing him, the Legion decided to bust his legs. Now, he's unable to walk. And worse yet, the Legion took some of his friends to one of their encampments, which is located northeast of Nipton (closer, but still northeast, of the Wolfhorn Ranch). Boxcars hopes that you'll head there to help his friends out, at which point you'll get this side quest offer. Keep in mind that Boxcars might not choose to play ball with you, however, until you help feed his drug addiction. You've been warned!
Upon arriving at the outskirts of the encampment, the Legion soldiers that are there will react to you in a way that depends on your current reputation with the Legion as a whole. If you have a good reputation with them, you won't have to fight them straight-away, but expect them to fire upon you when you show yourself if your reputation with them leaves something to be desired. Either way, the idea here is to free the two prisoners at the center of the encampment, and then kill all Legion enemies in the area to round things out. Do so in that order, freeing the prisoners first, and then drawing the fire of the enemies thereafter. How difficult the Legion enemies are here will depend entirely on the makeup of the crew at the encampment when you decide to go after the prisoners. So this will all vary. We found quite the fight here on one playthrough, and barely any resistance on another. So save your game before heading in here, not only because the prisoners may die in the crossfire (thus potentially stymieing the end of this side quest), but because you may simply be overwhelmed by the enemies you encounter here, especially early in the game. Either way, once the last Legion foe in the area is finished, so too will be this side quest.
