Short Story by: KoKoa Puff
Let me tell you about the worst day of my life. It was the day my friends told me they put me into an arranged marriage with the worst possible person on the face of the earth. I have no idea why they did this but they better have a good reason for it. But, because they did all these legal things I can't get out of it. I don't under stand the law sometimes. It is just so weird to have all my friends agree to have me marry a guy who has made my life a living hell through out high school. Ok, you are probably wondering who is the guy and when did this happen. Well I will take you back to the time it happened.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I said to Kristen, Emily, Lindsay, and Amanda. We were in the lunch room, at school.
"Nothing much, but we do have something kind of big to tell you." Amanda, my best friend, said.
"You may want to sit down Jess." Kristen told me.
"Ok what is it that you have to tell me, I mean when you say 'you may want to sit down' it is pretty serious." I said kind of making fun of Kristen, as I sat down.
"Really it is big news; well we know you hate Peter Smith. We think we did something really bad......." She waits till I gave her the signal to go on. "Well we set you up in an arranged marriage, and it is totally legal."
"To who, and please do not tell me Peter." And as if on queue as I finished saying his name is came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. This made me jump up and scream. Everyone laughed and Peter let go and back away. He knew by this that I had not found out yet.
"She does not know yet does, she?" Peter asked Amanda.
"No, she does not know, yet but she does know some of it. So if you would not mind would you go away for about 20 minutes. Please Peter" She said with some wittiness.
"Wait, what do I not know about?" I asked and Peter nodded and walked away.
"Well Jess, as I was saying we set you up in an arranged marriage, and you have to get married to Peter. We are really sorry, we all signed something and it had a hidden meaning. I am sorry because I was the one who made everyone sign it." Amanda said, and after she was done, I fainted, so she ran to caught me and laid me down and I came to, and started to cry. I was to marry my worst enemy Peter Smith. This has got to be a dream. 'Wake Up Jessica! Wake Up!'
"Jess this is not a dream, it is real. We did not mean to do this to you, we thought we were signing something about a project and actually it was an arranged marriage form." Emily said. They all came to me and hugged me at once.
"Ok if this is real, then I will have to figure out what to do. If I have to marry him, then I wish to have the best wedding every. I want my dream wedding." I said making sense on all of what just happened.
"We totally agree. We will help you with everything." Lindsay said.
"Ok I am going to go get Peter and then you and he can talk for a while. We will stay with you if you want. Or not. Your call." Emily said.
"Can you guys say near us, please?" I asked.
"Of course we will" they said together. Emily ran off to go get Peter. It was a couple of minutes, till we saw them walking towards us. Once they got to us Peter toke my hand and we walked over to another table in the lunch room. He let my hand go and I sat down, he walked to the other side of the table and sat down too. We sat there looking at each other.
"So, I guess we have to get married." I finally said.
"Yea, I guess we do." He said back.
"So, was it your idea, for this arranged marriage? Was it your idea to ruin my life? I know it was your idea, come tell me. Was-" I was cut off by Peter putting his hand up.
"Well Hun, I do not believe I set this up. But I did have a little part in it. I mean if you count tell people I that we liked each other, and them believing me. And then finding the paper work for the arranged marriage, and giving them to my friends, so they could, um, how do I say this. Trick your friends. So if you count that then I only had a little part in it. My friends were the ones to get your friends to sign it." He said, and then smiled. While he said this I was getting madder and madder. I went to stand up and he grabbed my wrist really hard. "Sit back down...dear."
"One, do not call me dear, two, I will stand up when ever I want to, and third let go of my wrist. It is starting to hurt." Again I got up to leave and he tightened his grip. I pulled my arm harder and my wrist came out of his grip. Once I was out of the reach I ran towards my friends. I had not noticed but the table Peter and I were at was really far away from where my friends. Actually for some reason I did not know where my friends were. I looked around and I could not see them at all. Right as I turned around to find some thing I knew, (I know it sounds weird that I don't know where I am in my own school, but I was so out of my mind, I was upside-down in my own head,) and there was Peter. He grabbed my hand and said.
"Now smile when we go back to our friends. Don't want them thinking you don't like me." He led to the table where both groups of friends were. I put on a big smile and waved to them. Once we got back, Peter pulled me into a hug and whispered, "I will call you later to talk. Bye hun," and then pulled me out of it and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Even though I did not like him, I blushed. After that he walked away, but with out coming back up to me and whispering something else in my ear, "Don't tell a sole Jessica Birdie, no one. Laugh hun." I did what he said and he smiled at me and then went off with his friends.
"Oh my gosh Jess, he seemed so nice. I would love to be married to him. Jessica why are you crying?" Amanda asked me. I just sat at there with my head in my hands and cried.
"Amanda would you walk me home please. I just want to go home. I will talk to you all later. I am sorry I just want to talk to Amanda." I said as Amanda helped me up, Kristen, Emily, and Lindsay patted me on the back as Amanda walked me home.
"So what do u want to talk about Jessy Girl. Is it about Peter?" She asked me. (Now I know I am not allowed to say anything but she is my best friend. She won't tell anyone.)
"Well yea, the whole marriage is a set up. He just wants to ruin my life. He even said so." I said. We were finally at my house. (I don't live that far from the school.)
"No it is not, I remember when you told me and the girls that you though he was the cutest thing. Don't you remember we were all in your room playing truth and dare. Hold on that's my mom." She opened up her phone, she talked for awhile. After a while she closed her phone and said, "I have to go, my mom said that I have to go home and help with dinner. We have someone coming over to dinner. I do not know who it is. Love you Jessy Girl." She hugged me and ran towards her house. I walked into my house and walked up to my room. I sat down on my bed and started to write in my journal.
End of Flashback
So yea that was how it happened. Right at this very moment I am sitting in my room writing this. Today Peter and his mom came over to talk to me and my mom about the wedding. I was like I want a huge wedding, big dress, reception, everything. I mean my family and his family are both rich. We are two of the handful of families who are rich and don't come from old money. (Old money goes back to like 10 generations.) My family made all of their money from our restaurant/café and the business me and my mom run. We make candles, lotions, some clothes, and we sell a lot of things people give, sell to us. We make most of out money from the café because we have about 5 of them around the towns we live in. My dad's grandparents opened the first one and then my dad open two mom, then the rest of the family open the other two. So of course we have money. His family made all of their money from a couple of things. His grandparents own a big record company, his dad now has part ownership, and he gets it when he is older. Also his parents own a couple bakeries; they make family recipes, and other well known things. He also has stock in a lot of big companies over the US. So of course we can afford a big wedding.
The events of that day were about 2 week ago. Peter and I have been talking a couple of times. I yelled at him almost every time we talked. He just got on my nerves so much I could not help yelling at him. I told him that I would try to make this work because we needed to. So we agreed that we could have our friends from school, work, family, and any one else we thought would like to come. It would be the talk of the town by the time the wedding came around. I had already had my maid of honor and my brides maids picked out. He also had his best man and grooms men picked too. At the meeting we were having today, we were talking about invites, and the reception. I wanted hand made invites done by some one in town, and he wanted them down a pro in New York. I forgot who he said he wanted. So what we agreed on was that half would be done here in town and the other half would be down in New York. It was cheaper that way. The next thing was the place to have the reception. I wanted to have it in the town square (I thought it would be really cute to have it out side.) He wanted to have it in the really big hotel in the next town over. My mom said we could have or practice dinner in the town and that we would have the reception in the hotel. (I am fine with that. I think it is better.) Now all we had to do was go to the hotel and work with them to get the menu, how we wanted the room to look, and did we want this or that. Tons of stuff for us to fight over. But there were a couple of things that he had no say over. That was my dress, my friends dresses, and the flower that we get to hold. I was glad to get away from some of the things. I mean I really did not want to fight with him, it was something I could not help doing.
About 2 day later we had to go to the hotel for the first meeting of like 4. Today we would to the menu so we can put it on the invites, and how many people were we expecting to have. We ended up picking a choice off steak with onions and mushrooms, with mashed potatoes and green beans. Or chicken with green beans and roasted potatoes. Our quests would have soup and salad, and the cake and a dessert buffet. Our cake would be like 5 levels, a very big cake. I wanted a cake that was white and pink, with flowers, and pearls. So I got what I wanted. The day at the hotel went really good. No fighting once. He was really sweet, but I wonder if he was putting on an act in front of other people.

Musical mad genius Beck spent the first half of the year working with the newest form of music distribution, creating levels for a video game. For his encore, he's going back to the very earliest form of music distribution technology: printed sheet music. Beck's new album — entitled Beck Hansen's Song Reader – won't be on vinyl, CD, or iTunes. Instead, it's available only as a beautifully illustrated book of sheet music, published by the retro-fetishists of McSweeney's.
The book will include sheet music for eighteen original songs and two instrumentals, but Beck insists that "The songs here are as unfailingly exciting as you'd expect from their author, but if you want to hear 'Do We? We Do,' or 'Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard', bringing them to life depends on you."
It's a move that will frustrate listeners who just want to listen to a record, but some industry watchers are already excited. Writing at Forbes, Will Burns calls the idea "brilliant." As Burns points out, making an "album" that only exists in printed-paper form is an effective end-run around the piracy industry, since there's no easily reproduced digital bits to download. And in an era when touring is how musicians make most of their profit, it's sure to drive up interest in Beck's next tour, where fans will (presumably) be able to hear the author's own delivery in his unmistakable voice.
What's more, it's a great adjustment to the modern era of participatory culture. McSweeney's will be hosting renditions of the songs by select amateur and professional musicians on its website, and fans are already promising to put together bar bands and YouTube projects to record their own versions of the songs. Beck is cleverly placing his music in the world of webcam performances and viral videos, making the listener part of the experience in a very direct way.
But maybe the greatest delight of this project is how it breaks down the modern habit of treating performance and song as synonymous. In the modern era, for example, we think of The Beatles' "Yesterday" as Paul McCartney singing over a piano and string section. But the strings, the reverb-soaked piano, even the voice is all part of the performance, not the song. For almost a century, the music industry was the sheet music industry. Famous tunes like "Camptown Races" or "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" were sold as sheet music, not recordings, so "the song" referred to the chords and lyrics, rather than the performance. The famous music factory of Tin Pan Alley never recorded a note; the industry was entirely in providing sheet music to supply the vast world of vaudeville performers, amateur music societies, and home enthusiasts, back when every middle-class family had an upright piano and kids who could sing in harmony.
Significant elements of the contemporary music industry are historical artifacts of its origins in sheet music publishing, particularly the distinction between "publishing rights" and "master rights" in modern industry contracts. It's known among savvier musicians that securing publishing rights is central to keeping the lion's share of profits from your own songs, by preventing soundalikes from recording their own version and selling it to advertisers.
So while Beck's decision to release only blueprints for music may seem new-fangled to the point of perversity, it's very much an invocation of how music worked before the phonograph. At this rate, we expect his next album to be played only for the Pope, and the follow-up to be scratched on cuneiform tablets with lyrics in Linear B.

If this picture and the name of the game doesn't sell you, I don't know what will. Hosted on Kongregate, Don't Sh*t Your Pants claims to be a survival horror game, but is basically a small text adventure. You're goal is simple, you have to find a toilet before accidents begin to happen. Gamers who have played text adventure games will probably figure this one out in a couple of minutes but some might be stumped on how to solve this crafty adventurer.
If you want to avoid help, I would suggest not to read the comments that are posted underneath the game, there are plenty of spoiler words to type in that will help solve this game. The cool thing about Kongregate is it's support of achievements, which many of its games has; Don't Sh*t Your Pants has a total of 9. If you got some time to kill, head on over here and check out the ridiculous spin on what is considered a retro game.


text: Want to transform your ordinary bedroom into a fabulous living space that grabs homebuyers' attention instantly? Stage it before your next home showing. By doing so, you'll be able to accentuate the positives of your bedroom and increase your chances of selling your home. Staging a bedroom can be fast and simple here are three tips you can use to stage your bedroom effectively: 1. Clean up and organize your bedroom. Your bedroom represents a sanctuary from the outside world, a room where you can rest, relax and get the Zzz's you need to remain productive and efficient day after day. Home sellers who hope to pass on these feelings to prospective homebuyers, meanwhile, will need to organize their respective bedrooms immediately. A messy bed and dirty floors certainly will give a bedroom a lived-in look and feel but will do more harm than good as you try to sell your residence. Instead, clean every inch of your bedroom and ensure the space looks immaculate. And if you encounter clutter, be sure to get rid of unnecessary blankets, clothing and other items or find storage units for these items that won't take up too much space. 2. Use neutral colors. When it comes to your bedroom's décor, neutral colors will serve you well. Adding a fresh coat of neutral-colored paint to your bedroom's walls may help make your bedroom appear larger and brighter. And ultimately, neutral colors could help your bedroom make a long-lasting impression on prospective homebuyers. Remember, when it comes to promoting your bedroom, you'll want to do whatever you can to leave a distinct impression on homebuyers. And with the use of neutral colors, you can give homebuyers the opportunity to envision what life could be like if your bedroom was a part of their new home. Incorporate neutral colors into your bedroom's décor, and you may find that many homebuyers will view your bedroom as a positive feature that helps differentiate your residence from others that are available. 3. Avoid the temptation to overfill. As a home seller, there may be a natural inclination to try to make your bedroom appealing to as many prospective homebuyers as possible. However, you'll want to do everything you can to avoid overfilling your bedroom in the hopes of generating significant interest in your residence. Ideally, your bedroom should be able to speak for itself, creating a wonderful first impression that makes it an attractive option for homebuyers. And if you can avoid the temptation to overfill, you'll be able to show homebuyers that your bedroom can serve as a superb oasis from the outside world. Staging your bedroom might seem difficult, but the aforementioned tips can help you keep things simple as you prepare to showcase your bedroom to prospective homebuyers. Plus, keep in mind that your bedroom is merely one room in your house, and other factors likely will influence homebuyers' decisions as well. With the right staging process, you'll be able to show homebuyers exactly what your bedroom is all about. As a result, you can use staging to your advantage and improve your chances of a quick sale.

Better late than never, right? Now that Christmas is over, all I want is to look at decorations! It does feel great to have it all put away and organized, but also sad and less colorful. I posted a few details here, and cupcake tree here, but now here is the tour!
We will start with the front door! I used almost the same stuff as last year, but I updated the ribbon on the wreath. I still love it!
Full of whimsy! Just how I like it!
I did remember to switch out the mat this year!
Just inside the door is the sideboard! This was more difficult to decorate because Bradley thinks he is supposed to grab everything from here and throw it on the floor. So it almost never looked like this. Ha!
Silly little guy! :)
There he goes with the reindeer!
One of my favorite decorations is still our tree topper! I just think there couldn't be a more perfect topper for a whimsical tree. Bradley agrees. :)
Check out my Santa nails! :)
I put a tiny touch of Christmas in our dining room with a runner my Grandma made and a couple trees.
The built ins have the usual suspects, but also lots of baby toys and a massive gate blocking!
Clearly the gate isn't working...
It is so nice to have a place to display all of our Christmas crap! :)
The ornament garland blog post was on fire on Pinterest! I hope everyone scooped up some post-Christmas balls to make one!
The kitchen has a few touches here and there.
Nate got me the cutest marshmallow mugs that I have been eyeing for years for Christmas!! I was so excited! We had them out for our ladies night cookie exchange.
With a hot chocolate bar of course!
One of my friends helped me out with our chalkboard - I am never wiping this away!
I put the cute mugs on display. :)
My mom got me these amazing elf legs (Nate calls them witch legs - jerk) a few years ago.
We didn't put a small tree in Bradley's room this year but we did add a cute Christmas pillow and read him Christmas books every night, so don't worry, he felt the Christmas spirit! :)
So the decor is all put away now and I do really love the feeling of no clutter, but am already planning getting everything back out in 11 months! :)
Who am I kidding - I have a kid so there is still a lot of clutter. :) Phew!
Do you still have your decor up? Why can't we just leave it up year round? :)
Follow me on Facebook!

Thank you so much for everyone who participated in this poll. I think we can all agree there are a lot of great holiday events happening around here.
We pulled two movie pass winners at random, and they are:
@Megan for the "Marry Poppins" tickets. She wrote:
I love the holiday lights in the park, although I haven't been for several years. It was always a lot of fun to see the hard work that went into the displays.
And @Rich won the "It's a Wonderful Life" tickets.
He wrote:
My favorite local holiday event is Disney on Ice at the TU Center. Disney always puts on such an excellent show.
This past Sunday, we took our two children to see the Hannaford Capital Holiday Lights in the Park. It was our first time seeing the spectacle in years, and it was better than we remembered. The line of tail lights was endless and the Lake House was bustling, proving that this event is clearly one of the quintessential holiday events offered here in the Capital Region.
Share with us the event you look forward to the most. Is it Saratoga's Victorian Streetwalk or maybe "Melodies of Christmas" at Proctors? If you tried something new this year, let us know what you thought. We're givinga pair of tickets to the Palace Theater's Friday, Dec. 23 screening of "It's a Wonderful Life" and another pair of tickets to the 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 26 movie event, "Mary Poppins." Please enter only once. Include your film preference. We'll draw at random for each. Deadline to enter is noon Thursday.

Russian skater prays, makes sign of the cross, remains one of the few who does not fall
What's with all the Olympic ice skaters falling all over the place? It began with the figure skaters. Encouraged by weird judging rules to take risks trying to make quad spins skater after skater was falling on their asses because an attempt that failed got you more points than no attempt at all. So these people are getting medals after falling down! This was happening to the men, women and pairs. It was ugly. So I turn on the ice dancing, which is supposed to be artistic and immediately see a couple fall on their asses, then another and another. The announcers were going crazy over it. "This never happens," said one of them. Oh really?
The sick part is I actually enjoy this. It's hilarious. I never thought much of ice skating but now the suspense of wondering when someone is going to fall on their ass has made the sport a lot more fun to watch.
A few of the Ice Dance tumbles:
This skater lost her grip and was taken to the hospital on a gurney after hard fall
This skater slipped and both went down
Italian favorites. Guy lost his footing drops partner and falls.
She stood him there at center ice and gave him the evil eye for a good two or more humiliating minutes, quite amusing. He'll be eating from the doggy bowl tonight.
Skater just falls out of the blue

At this point in the game, you know Disney isn't going to allow director Rian Johnson from posting anything too revealing about Star Wars Episode VIII on social media. But there's still a thrill seeing a glimpse of what's happening on-set, which is what Johnson gives us on Tumblr. And who knows? Really avid Star Wars fans might be able to use Blade Runner-style imaging technology to close-in, flip and clean-up something vital reflected on Maz Kanata's goggles – like a script with the name of the film on it. (Or maybe Rian Johnson giving a two-fingered salute.)

text: RUTLAND If someone in the Prospect Hill Road area tells you to get lost, they probably mean it in a nice way. What theyre referring to is the Hathaway Corn Maze, an annual experience that should not be missed. Since the wildly popular corn maze is seasonal, and operates during the months of September and October, the Hathaway Farm is the number one destination for an autumn adventure. The 12-acre corn maze is located at 741 Prospect Hill Rd. in Rutland. The maze is open Wednesday through Monday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. with the exception of Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. While youre inside the heart of the giant maze, there are a lot of things that children of all ages can find, but make sure to follow the rules. The owners of the Hathaway Farm prides themselves on the fact that the barn and the farmhouse are listed on the National Historic Registry. The farm has been in the Hathaway family since 1942, which is three generations of a proud Vermont farming tradition. A visit to the Hathaway maze needs plenty of time to enjoy it, especially if you are an adventurous soul and want to solve a giant puzzle. The Hathaways suggest planning on at least 90 minutes, but many people arrive and spend the day. Irene Hathaway told us about the the evolution of the corn maze. My youngest son, Sawyer, and I made our first maze on the farm in 2002, she said. It was only a couple of acres in size and was in the shape of a beef cow. We made it just to see if we could after reading about corn mazes in the mid-west. The people who went through our little maze loved them and basically talked us into making large ones! This years theme is Get Lost in Vermont so it is all about Vermont trivia. But we get thousands of visitors every year from all walks of life. Wondering what a visit to a corn maze might entail? Or more accurately, if you fit the profile of a typical maze-goer? Well, let's take a look at what and who you might see when coming to challenge the puzzling labyrinth by daylight or moonlight. Its the perfect activity for kids, parents, grandparents, friends and couples, and its interesting to observe the bonding moments that take place as families, friends, couples work together to navigate their way to the exit. Who has the best sense of direction? Who has the best knowledge of the trivia? The bottom line is that there is no typical maze-goer. Regardless of who you are and which way you choose to enjoy the maze, you'll leave having found what you came looking for. To help you along, you will find clues on the paths; some things you will know and others you wont. However, if you can correctly answer the questions, theyll help you navigate the paths that will lead you to the exit (solve the maze). The most important thing Irene says, Just keep walking! An exciting challenge is the Eight Punch Points. These are hole punches and each one has a different shape. They are positioned randomly throughout the maze on the paths. The trick is that they may be on dead ends; they may be on paths leading to the exit, or any path on the maze. If an individual finds all eight, they can bring their paper to the farm shop and enter to win an item from the farm at the end of the season. If you collect all eight punches, the Hathaway Farm considers you a Maze Master. During my recent visit to the maze, I found two Maze MastersMiranda Fedchekl and Robert Breznick of Pittsford. For the second year in a row, the duo found all eight punches. If you get fatigued, which you undoubtedly will, you can have a rest break in the grassy meadow where you can bathe in the sun in an Adirondack chair and enjoy a view of the nearby mountains. There is also a welcome center where a patron can make an early exit or enjoy snacks and a cool drink. One visitor, Jamie Grantham of Lebanon, N.H., said, I was walking around in the corn maze for hours and I definitely welcomed a drink of cold water. It was tricky. For night owls, the Hathaway Farm offers its Moonlight Madness maze adventure which happens every Saturday night until 9 oclock. Folks bring flashlights and friends for a fun night in the dark recesses of the maze. There are maze helpers along the way to ensure you dont spend the whole night lost amid the corn plants. The Hathaway Farm is easy to find. The farm sits up on the summit of Prospect Hill Road; the year 1881 is clearly visible imprinted on the slate roof of the Hathaways antique, classic barn. For details, call the Hathaway Farm at 802-775-2624 or e-mail the family at firstname.lastname@example.com. You wont regret the visit. Now go get lost!

Much of my work involves creating simulations which often turn into tricky mathematical modeling problems. For example, a page from my journal dated 17 Dec 2000 shows my thoughts as I worked out the butterfly model for the first time.
Later I realized that the butterflies looked better if I made the two wing polygons intersect a little bit. The next image shows a sketch of the revised wing model and notes the vertex functions. (Also seen on this page are sketches from La Sagrada Familia. I was living in Barcelona at the time and apparently I had gone there that day; my journals are often intertwined in this fashion.)
Often enormous effort will go for naught. Below shows work on a parametric model of a tree-like branch. The idea was abandoned after a few days of work when I realized that the time it would take relative to its interest level. This is the fate of 80% of my ideas.
One of the most complicated parts of the system is the calibration which no one but me ever sees. Figure 4 shows some of the original design for how the calibrator would function. Most of this is a diagram for a state machine. I often model computer algorithms in a storyboard fashion such as this.
Figure 5 shows the first diagram which illustrated the technical workings. I had already built the system by the time I drew this but had not yet installed it formally. When I drew it out carefully I realized that it would be better to project from above rather than from waist level (as I had drawn) because it would allow people to pass behind one participant without disturbing them. A quick after-thought sketch in the corner captures my realization as well as the fact that I would have to pay for this with a keystone effect.
Of course, ultimately all of my artistic ideas must be realized in code which must be debugged. Little scraps of paper litter my desktop with typical programmer hieroglyphics. Figure 6 appears to be debugging notes regarding address of a corrupt linked list written on the corner of a doctor's prescription.

Fast Fashion is Challenging the Retail Apocalypse Narrative
While the rise of online shopping has forced many retail stores to close, the fast fashion industry contines to grow. Madison Van Oort attributes this to their strong commitment to innovation and exploitation of retail workers.
In early 2017, Macy's announced it would close nearly 70 stores nationwide and lay off almost 4,000 workers. The oldest of the closing locations had anchored downtown Minneapolis for over a century (originally as Dayton's, then Marshall Field's, and eventually Macy's); when it shut down in March 2017, 280 employees lost their jobs. In the months leading up to the store's final days, the Minneapolis Star Tribune and Minnesota Public Radio overflowed with local memories of the family destination, once a special excursion and now, a symbol of times past.
If you've entered a mall in the last year or two, you may have noticed that Macy's isn't the only retail chain closing shops around the country. Payless, The Limited, Wet Seal, JCPenney, American Apparel, Guess, and Sears are just some of the many retail companies shuttering hundreds of stores in recent months, if not liquidating all together. The phenomenon is so widespread many believe we're on the brink of an imminent retail apocalypse.
Most analyses blame the mass closings of department and branded apparel stores on the rise of online retailing. If this were the only thing going on, preparing for the end of retail shopping would make sense. After all, how do you compete with Amazon? But I've witnessed first-hand the boom of another kind of apparel retail that deserves critical attention –fast fashion. Some people see Amazon's drive towards automation as potentially good for workers since menial labor will be done by robots, allowing humans to "move up the value chain," but fast fashion is evidence that the opposite is happening. If we really want to understand this moment in retail capital's evolution and its potential impact on workers, we mustn't leave the fast fashion sector out of the equation – or relegate it to the province of pre-teens.
To me, this decline of retail signals not a final death, but rather its adaptation to the ever-changing circumstances that come with capitalism's constant renewal. In fact, stores like Zara, H&M, and Forever 21 have in recent years become some of the world's most successful companies, offering shoppers a ceaseless array of trendy, cheap clothing. Along with the likes of Amazon, fast fashion is dramatically altering the retail landscape. During a recent visit to a mall in Iowa (where my niece works at one of the few remaining department stores), I noted the disappearance of teen clothing store Wet Seal. Forever 21, which had occupied the space next to Wet Seal since the mall's inception, was not only still open, but had in fact expanded, taking over the former Wet Seal storefront.
This pattern can be seen across the country. At the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Forever 21 grew to a staggering 80,000 square feet when it took over the old Bloomingdale's space in 2012, and a two-story Zara opened just last year to wide acclaim. I was not surprised, then, to see a Minneapolis real estate developer waxing favorably of fast fashion's future: "I think Zara would kill it [in the old Macy' location]. You have to have a store that is unique so people will drive downtown and pay to park in a ramp." Over in New York City, Zara is snapping up some of SoHo's most expensive real estate, and in certain segments of the city, H&M's density even outpaces Starbucks.
If industry figures prove correct, fast fashion will not be slowing down anytime soon. Forever 21 says it will add 300 stores in the next three years, and H&M aims to open 360 stores in 2017 alone. Last year, Inditex, Zara's parent company, opened 279 additional locations and anticipates similar growth this next year. Meanwhile, fast fashion CEOs reap enormous profits. Forever 21 cofounders Do Won and Jin Sook Chang share a combined net worth of three billion dollars, leading Forbes to dub them "America's most successful immigrants." H&M's main shareholder, Stefan Persson, is worth $20.7 billion, and at the top of the list sits Zara's founder Amancio Ortega, worth $78.1 billion; for a short period in 2016, he outstripped Steve Jobs as the world's richest person.
How exactly has fast fashion become so lucrative? Business analysts say fast fashion represents the "long-awaited realization" of just-in-time production in the apparel industry, "with items produced in small batches and within short lead times." That is, their achievement derives not from innovative clothing designs (they're regularly lambasted for ripping off both high-end and independent styles) or even from successful marketing campaigns –Zara in fact, barely advertises at all –but from their ability to offer a constantly evolving inventory of cheap stuff. Basic items are outsourced to garment factories around the globe while trendier pieces are made closer to company headquarters. Zara, based in Spain, makes many of its pieces in nearby Morocco, while some of Forever 21's garment manufacturing happens in California (where workers are paid as little as $4 an hour).
Such practices keep fast fashion a step ahead of most older brands. The New York Times reported that many retailers struggled during 2015's unseasonably warm winter, but fast fashion persisted as usual by rapidly re-configuring their offerings. Jesús Echevarría, chief communications and corporate affairs officer for Inditex, told the Times, "Designers try to react as closely as possible to customers' demands and tastes throughout the season. Inditex is able to do this by producing items close to its distribution centers in Spain, with which the company has long-term relationships, and by delivering new shipments to all of its stores twice a week." If customer tastes (or weather patterns) change, fast fashion can almost immediately alter its stock.
In addition to agile manufacturing, the quality of fast fashion garments is notoriously bad, keeping prices low while hooking in customers to persistent shopping. I, for one, struggle to find jeans that last longer than six months before falling apart. Just last week, in fact, I hopped on my bicycle, only to find that my comfortably stretchy H&M pants (which cost me $14, all I could afford on a graduate student budget in New York City), dramatically shredded across the thigh as I began to pedal. So the cycle continues.

Two days ago we lost Catherine E Coulson, most known as the log lady in Twin Peaks. I loved the log lady so much, and kind of identified with her character. I say a lot of weird things, they make sense in my head, and sometimes I can sound confusing, albeit not nearly as profound as the log lady, but still. I just like have a lot of thoughts, sometimes misunderstood. I can relate.
She was such crucial character that show and Catherine was a phenomenal actress. She was good buds with David Lynch, and I actually just found out that she was assistant director for "Eraserhead".
The log lady hands down has the best lines in Twin Peaks and her anecdotes are some of my favorite quotes. This illustration being one of them. She's gonna really be missed!

Kind of vacation. My sons seemed to have had fun. Mostly it was doing their on-line gaming of Warcraft". I guess that is kind of a vacation. We did go to the Fair over at the Orange county fairgrounds. I let them know that this fair was mostly shows and food. It's been a really long time since there were a lot of animals there. Today it is mostly sheep or goats. Cattle are prety much gone from here now.
The pictures are kind of those "no, not really into photos this vacation Mom. Just want to do R&R my way. Don't worry, I will try my best to keep the mess down." And they did. Not bad for grown children.
The world is becoming colorful again. All the shades of grey and fading into blooms of color. And I know someone had to have the music I was hearing playing somewhere. I keep hearing those Gregorian chants in my head. Ether that or I am just beginning to go nuts. Cool. I guess we'll all find out when it happens-huh?
the house is nearly finished. Or reasonably so. Just gotta do the mirrors, pictures and the like. Kind of grunt work. At least for me. I just love my stone floor in the kitchen. The color really flows on out to the outside. Gives it that extened kitchen/patio feel. So far it's been great to have coffee outside and just enjoy the early morning and how it wakes up.

It is a great honour and pleasure to address you. Management involves decision making. We all know that in order to make best possible utilization of available resources, we come across various alternative solutions. We have to pick some and forego others. These decision making skills are sometimes god-gifted, but more often than not, these skills could be acquired. One way of acquiring them is through the process of trial and error. That could be very costly and sometimes, prove fatal for the organization. There is an increasing realization that managerial skills should be acquired. There is greater emphasis on building the human capital. According to some recent demographic studies, India will have a comparative advantage over U.S. and Europe in terms of 'young' population. India is being seen as a major supplier of workforce in the next decade, since the developed world shall have a large component of aging population. This would be possible only when our workforce undergoes appropriate training and acquires requisite skills. This is not an era of the 'generalist'; it is an age of the 'specialist'.
We, at JIMS, strive to train our students accordingly. Apart from the standard curricula, we lay a lot of emphasis on imparting specific skill in accordance with the industry and business needs.
Welcome to JIMS fraternity.

Medieval Studies Ph.D. (Ithaca)
Field of Study
Program Description
The aim of this comparative and interdisciplinary field is to allow students to concentrate more fully on medieval studies than is possible in the programs of traditional departments. Although programs to fit individual interests and needs are emphasized, there are some degree requirements, such as reading knowledge of Latin and a course in paleography and research methods, that must be met by all candidates.
The program does not ordinarily admit students seeking a terminal M.A. degree. Ph.D. degree candidates are granted the M.A. degree after successful completion of course work and the general field exams. For the Ph.D. degree, reading proficiency in Latin and two foreign languages, and teaching experience are required.
Contact InformationWebsite: http://www.medievalstudies.cornell.edu
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 607 255-8545
259 Goldwin Smith Hall
Cornell University
Ithaca, NY 14853
Concentrations by Subject
- medieval archaeology
- medieval art
- medieval history
- medieval literature
- medieval music
- medieval philology and linguistics
- medieval philosophy
Application Requirements and Deadlines
Application Deadlines:
Fall, Jan. 15; no spring admission
Requirements Summary:
Ideally, a broad undergraduate major in one of the participating disciplines, including college-level Latin and preparation in modern research languages (e.g., French and German), should precede graduate concentration in this field. All applicants are required to submit a 20-page writing sample on a medieval topic and three letters of recommendation. All U.S. citizens should take the general Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and, where available for disciplines in an applicant's major area, the GRE subject test. Non-U.S. citizens are advised but not required to take the GRE. Contact the Field office for additional information, or visit our Web site, Cornucopia.
Learning Outcomes
Learning objectives
The Graduate Field of Medieval Studies seeks to train PhD students to conduct interdisciplinary research, with a focus on an area of specialization. The Field fosters students' wholehearted engagement with integrating relevant materials and approaches from across the so-called disciplinary spectrum into a personal research vision. Within their area of specialization, students should receive training that is at least equal to that of specialists in that area who earn their PhD degree in traditional, disciplinary departments. Students in Medieval Studies are expected to uphold professional and ethical standards in the profession.
When students complete the PhD, they should be able to:
- make an original and substantial contribution to the field, producing publishable scholarship in a timely fashion.
- demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of one major concentration within the field.
- have a broad knowledge of research and theory across three or more concentrations, comprising a major concentration and two or more minor ones (which may include one minor concentration from another Graduate Field outside Medieval Studies). At least one minor concentration should be in a discipline (usually, as determined by departmental affiliation) different from that of the student's major concentration; see the Program in Medieval Studies Procedural Guide for details.
- demonstrate working proficiency in at least one major medieval language (typically, Medieval Latin) and two major modern research languages.
- communicate research findings effectively in written and in spoken presentations.
- demonstrate effective skills in undergraduate teaching and potential for graduate teaching.
Measuring learning objectives
Latin exam (Toronto Centre for Medieval Studies, Level 1, by the beginning of 4th year) or equivalent in a medieval language approved by the Field; two other language exams (at discretion of student's Special Committee); A exam (qualifying exam, by the beginning of 4th year); and B exam (dissertation defence)
- chairs of Special Committees for A and B exams will submit to the DGS one-page reports identifying strengths and weaknesses in light of the field's learning goals. Reports on A exams should refer to learning outcomes 2, 3 and 5. For B exams and dissertations, reports should refer to 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6.
- proficiency in Medieval Latin is deemed a general requirement for any student working in Medieval Studies with a focus on the region of (modern) western Europe. Students whose work focuses on regions outside western Europe (e.g. Byzantium, the Muslim Caliphate, China) are expected instead to demonstrate proficiency in the major language of the medieval sources of their region (e.g. Byzantine Greek, Arabic, Chinese).
- learning outcome 4 is assessed by the external benchmark of the University of Toronto's Centre for Medieval Studies Level 1 ("MA level") Medieval Latin exam, in conjunction with the Special Committee's assessment of proficiency in both Latin and the appropriate modern research languages, as determined by each student's Special Committee. (For students exempt from the Medieval Latin requirement, the Special Committee alone is responsible for assessing proficiency in a major medieval language.)
Graduating Student Surveys
- the Program will monitor graduating students' responses to the exit surveys administered by the Graduate School, focusing on students' sense of how well each learning goal for PhD students in Medieval Studies was achieved; which aspects of the PhD program were most helpful for their learning and why; and what the Field of Medieval Studies could do differently to help students learn more effectively.
Teaching assessment
Three types of data will serve to assess learning outcome 6:
- Course Leaders supervising PhD students who teach First-Year Writing Seminars will confer with students about syllabus and assignment design, section discussions and grading; Course Leaders will also observe students' teaching (at least once a semester). Course Leaders will write structured observation reports on PhD students' effectiveness in undergraduate teaching; these reports will be kept in each student's file. Course Leaders will be expected to provide students with feedback on their teaching.
- Students will produce a self-assessment report after having taught for two semesters (typically, at the end of the Spring semester of their 2nd year).
- Special Committee chairs will include in their report on a student's B exam comments about the student's potential for graduate-level teaching, based on their own (and other Special Committee members') experience, as well as on canvassing of other faculty with whom the student had taken graduate seminars or directed reading courses.
Quantitative measures: Time to A exam, Time to Degree, and Job Placement
- the Field will continue to track job placement of graduating students, and monitor changes in the average time to A exam and time to degree (as recorded by the Graduate School).
- since a variety of placement options outside academic research and teaching positions constitute successful outcomes for our students, the Field will continue in its efforts to enable students to find jobs that allow them to take advantage of their varied skills. We will continue to communicate with our alumni to track their long-term success beyond Cornell.
Acting on assessment information
A Field faculty meeting will be held each Fall semester to review the progress of continuing students. In advance of this meeting, the DGS will make available all reports and data on assessing graduate student learning from the previous academic year.

Too many Facebook posts are preachy, company-centric, and they read as if the writer is more interested in fulfilling an editorial quota than in having a dialog.. Web sites are so jargon-laden that a potential customer has no idea what the company does.
Reality check: If you have stopped paying attention to your company's marketing message, chances are so have your customers and best prospects.
How does this happen? Here are the most typical reasons:
- The marketing team doesn't understand the personality and culture of your company (or even worse, your company doesn't have consensus about its own culture)
- Marketing is kept out of key discussions and can't speak authoritatively about the product (service, mission, purpose)
- Marketing is shunted off to a side and never interacts with sales, with customers, with prospects
- You are over-managing the marketing projects to the point where the team has no sense of personal responsibility
- You don't have clear expectations about what marketing should be accomplishing
Don't be the pompous bore at the table who is mostly irrelevant and largely meaningless.

I can cook it on the stove, bake it in the oven, or in a rice cooker.
Where are you?
I found this: Its all about the science Good Luck:
Follow the standard ratio of 2 cups of water for each 1 cup of dry long-grain white rice when cooking at altitudes between 3,000 and 5,000 feet. Increase the water by 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup for altitudes above 5,000 feet, adjusting the amount upward as you go up in altitude.
Cook long-grain white rice for 15 to 20 minutes at altitudes up to 5,000 feet; increase the time incrementally as the altitude increases. Expect rice cooked above 5,000 feet to take 25 minutes or more.
Adjust as needed, adding more water if it evaporates too quickly and letting the rice cook longer if the kernels seem underdone.
Thanks. It seems to be trickier with brown rice. so I'd appreciate any advice regarding cooking brown rice.
I poked around chowhound a bit and everyone had different techniques when it came to brown rice and nobody was excited about the results.
I had an idea. Lately, I've been cooking brown rice the same way I would cook pasta. Large amounts of well salted water. Bring to a boil. Add rinsed brown rice. Cook until all dente. Strain, put back into pot, cover with lid or kitchen towel and let steam for 5-10 minutes. I really like the results.
that seems like a good idea. The general consensus is that the air is thinner and much direr so you need more water and more time to cook.
Thank you, I will definitely try this method. (Why rinse the rice first?)
Robin see CanineChef's input about the boiling like pasta method. It probably won't work because of the lower heat. I think we've all decided you should buy a pressure cooker.
I've been rinsing rice for a long time now. It rinses away excess starch and also would clean it up if there's any sneaky dirt or debris. Here's a discussion with input from others.
The problem is the water is boiling off at a lower temperature, so the rice not exposed to as much heat. A pressure cooker, if worth the trouble, would do the job.
Oh I did see a lot of references to pressure cookers being the way to go. Hard boiled eggs must be tricky too.
In La Paz Bolivia it takes 7 minutes to get a soft-boiled egg.
I do cook brown rice with a pressure cooker; it is so much more reliable in producing excellent texture than any other method I've tried for, and should be insensitive to atmospheric pressure. Here's my procedure:
Use 2:1 by weight water to rice (I've only tried short to medium grain; long grain might require a different proportion of water).
Bring to high pressure (my Fagor pot only has two settings, low and high) over maximum heat (this takes ~7 min for me), then reduce heat to medium high (gas level 7 out of 9 for me) and cook 21 min.
Turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally, not using the "quick release" (maybe ~5 min for me?).
When it releases, stir it up (it will still be a little sticky) and let it sit in the closed pot for at least 5 min, but longer is better.

A stationery company has been accused of fuelling eating disorders through the controversial slogans on its food diaries and diet planners.
UK-based Fox & Moon sells diaries covered with phrases such as "I want to skinny dip not chunky dunk" and "stop rewarding yourself with food, you are not a dog".
On Twitter, some have called the diaries "dangerous" while others have labelled them "eating disorder propaganda".
The UK's leading eating disorders charity, Beat, told HuffPost UK the diaries may "exacerbate the illness in those who are already suffering or vulnerable".
Blogger Lottie L'amour was among the first to tweet about the planners after seeing a diary on Instagram reading: "Do it for the 'holy shit you got hot'."
"For people struggling with eating disorders, phrases like this can be really damaging,' she told metro.co.uk.
"I don't think they realise that words like this can trigger damaging eating habits that can lead to serious health problems and death in some cases."
It wasn't long before others slammed the slogans online.
Commenting on the backlash, a spokesperson from Beat said: "Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses with very complex causes and it's important that this isn't trivialised.
"It is unlikely that this kind of messaging would be the sole and direct cause of an eating disorder.
"However, it may exacerbate the illness in those who are already suffering or vulnerable."
But others have argued the planners are just a bit of fun.
HuffPost UK has contacted Fox & Moon for comment and is awaiting a response.

DENR inks agreement with Iloilo provincial government to rehabilitate Maasin watershed
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has inked an agreement with the provincial government of Iloilo to co-manage a part of the Maasin Watershed Forest Reserve and enhance the reforestation effort in the area.
DENR-Region 6 Assistant Regional Director for Management Service Livino B. Duran signed the agreement with Iloilo Gov. Arthur D. Defensor Sr. during the 16th Piyesta ng Kakahuyan held September 12, 2015 in Maasin, Iloilo.
"This agreement between the DENR and the Iloilo provincial government is indicative of Gov. Defensor's active leadership to share in the responsibility of managing and maintaining the ecological balance in the province, a move that is in accord with the Local Government Code," Duran said.
According to him, the Maasin watershed is a big boost to the water capacity of the province. But with a growing population, the DENR official expressed apprehension the watershed may not be able to sustain its capacity to provide sufficient water for the people unless it is rehabilitated and protected from destructive human activities.
The co-management agreement calls for the Iloilo government to implement rehabilitation and protection activities within the adopted area of 659.25 hectares, in accordance with the development plan that will be prepared by the local government.
The DENR, on the hand, is tasked under the MOA to provide technical assistance to the LGU to ensure the success of the project.
Aside from the agreement signing, a tree planting activity participated in by representatives from non-government organizations, national government agencies in the region and other sectors also highlighted the 16th celebration of Piyesta ng Kakahuyan in the province. ###

De GRISOGONO unveiled the world's first mechanical watch to display time digital and analog with the MECCANICO dG back in 2008. The extreme complicated timepiece has won Grand Prix de l'Horlogerie in 2009 and will be shown at the BaselWorld 2011 in a new exclusive version.
For the first time the Meccanico dG has white analog and digital displays.
About the Meccanico dG:
The handwound mechanical movement comprises 651 components. It is composed of an analogue display of the hours and minutes on the upper dial and a digitally displayed second timezone on the lower dial. The mechanically operated digital display of the second timezone shows tens of hours, single hours, tens of minutes and single minutes, all displayed by mobile microsegments driven by an assemblage of 23 cams connected to a set of gears and a triggering and synchronization system.
The time information is displayed by an array of 23 horizontally and vertically positioned microsegments. Vertical segments are 9 mm high and weigh at most 25 milligrams while the horizontal segments measure 2.90 mm in length and weigh only 10 milligrams. The segments have four faces: two opposing visible faces fitted with colored strips and two opposing unmarked faces. Time changes are effected by 90° rotations of the required segment or segments. Involving one to twelve segments, time changes are lightning fast.
The price of the Meccanico dG by De Grisogono is beyond $150,000.
The BaselWorld 2011 will open its doors on March 24th to watch enthusiasts around the world.

Oklahoma AD vice-chair of the NCAA Tournament committee
Oklahoma athletics director Joe Castiglione has been on the NCAA Tournament committee for basketball the past two seasons.
This year, Castiglione will be the vice-chair of the committee.
"I have been incredibly fortunate to have served on this committee with three outstanding chairs in Jeff Hathaway (the current director of athletics at Hofstra University), Mike Bobinski (the current director of athletics director at Georgia Tech) and current chair Ron Wellman of Wake Forest," Castiglione said. "Watching them lead the committee throughout the year and particularly through the selection process has been educational, and having the opportunity to work along with Scott in the coming year will serve as great preparation to fill this role. It's an honor to be selected by my peers and I'm appreciative of the trust that this group, for which I have a tremendous amount of respect, has placed in me."
Castiglione will be working with Utah State University athletics director Scott Barnes, who begins his term as chair on Sept. 1.

I absolutely love how these turned out. Unfortunately this is a one of a kind colorway and my attempt at reproducing it tonight was a big failure. What I like is the combination of different shades of green and blues and then the contrasting golden orange. It makes the colors pop.
The plain yellow buttons were made by me. I find it quick and easy to make some polymer buttons to go with anything I'm knitting. They really make the outfit.
The big button on the pocket is made by Tessa Ann. I love her work, I think it really pulls everything together.

Crystal Ball from CIOs: Bet on Green IT
Ed Cone and I have been charting the credibility wave of Green IT for quite a while now, and I think we both agree that things are looking up.
In September 2007, we found that businesses were going green to save on infrastructure costs, not save the planet. The environmental benefits were really just gravy. And that's OK; as we said, "After all, doing good while doing well is a worthy goal for any company."
In our August 2008 research study, IT execs said they opted for green technologies to help the economy. A close second reason? Cost savings. Of course.
And a month later, further indication that green IT was truly on the rise.
Now, to the future. An interesting tidbit from our upcoming Future of IT survey: when asked which technological developments will have the biggest impact in the next five to 10 years, IT execs overwhelmingly pointed to green IT. And the total (47 percent) spiked dramatically from 2007 (32 percent).
So I guess it's safe to say that green IT has arrived. I still think the primary motivator is cost savings. I'm not being critical--it's perfectly fine for businesses to make money--but I just wish more were willing to call it like it is.
We'll have more from the Future of IT study in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. For more on green IT trends, check out our friend Eric Chabrow's new blog.
And while I have you, tell us what your company's motivation is for pursuing green initiatives. Or, if they're not going after green technologies, tell us why not.
