What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Victorian Tin Tinsel …
"Although tinsel is beautiful and certainly fun for the kids (even adults) to throw on the tree, it is messy and is dangerous for domestic pets. These Tin Tinsels are as beautiful on the tree are not at all dangerous, are affordable, & you can keep from year to year. The only problem is they can get lost on the tree when you are cleaning up but if you count them before putting them on & putting them back there isn't a problem. I bought them for my sister 2yrs ago and I'm getting another set this year because you can never have too much Tin Tinsel !!" - F Heyman, New Providence, NJ
"These are my favorite tree decoration. They reflect the light beautifully, from every angle, and are tapered like natural icicles." - Kelly Sofaly, Irwin, PA
"I bought two tins of these four or five years ago, and they add a distinctive old-fashioned finishing touch to the holiday tree. The twists in the tin beautifully reflect the Christmas lights. They are tin, so they're soft and bend easily, but with gentle treatment are easily restored. We found the factory crook at the top too small and used a large round pen to reshape and enlarge them. These icicles are a good investment. I highly recommend them." - Joyce, Lamoine, ME

Customers ask and answer up to 200 product questions on the site each day.
Amy Dusto
Teen fashion retailer GoJane.com, a recent acquisition of its larger competitor Aeropostale Inc., No. 114 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, boosted its natural search traffic 20% after adding social question-and-answer to its product pages, the retailer says. GoJane customers now ask and answer up to 200 product questions on the site every day, with nearly all of that content indexed by search engines, which lifts its natural search rankings, says Amy DeVore, customer service and social media manager at GoJane.
The social Q&A tool, provided by vendor TurnTo Networks Inc., allows shoppers to click an Ask a Question button on product detail pages to pose queries about items. If they select that the question is about a store policy, like returns or shipping, the question is flagged for staff to answer. Otherwise, TurnTo sends the question—such as, "Does this blouse run small?"—via e-mail to a customer who has already bought the item. Most customers answer those e-mails, and do so within 24 hours, DeVore says.
Their answers pass through GoJane for approval—the retailer removes or hides questions and answers containing inappropriate language or words, she says—then the questioner receives an e-mail with the response. Both the question and answer are also added below the product details for that item on GoJane.com.
TurnTo takes just a few days to go live for a retailer, requiring the retailer to add a piece of code to their web site and setting up some data feeds, CEO and founder George Eberstadt says. Retailers pay for the service in a monthly or annual fee, which scales according to the size of their business: small merchants typically pay $100 to $1,000 per month; medium-sized merchants, $1,000 to $10,000 per month; large merchants, $10,000 per month and up, he says. One of the most popular items on the GoJane site, a pair of lace-up, American flag-adorned high-heeled boots sports 192 questions and 845 answers in the social Q&A section of its product details page. Customers can search those answers in a pop-up box when they click on Ask a Question before deciding to submit a new one. "It's a pretty constant stream of communication," DeVore says.
The depth of responses can get extremely specific, she says. For example, one customer asked whether the boots have a certain chemical smell, as synthetic shoes sometimes have. Eight customers answered with their opinions regarding the flag boots and general suggestions for getting rid of unwanted shoe scents.
That's well beyond what typical product reviews cover, DeVore says, making this version of customer feedback more valuable in some ways to online shoppers, especially since they cannot touch or try on apparel items before buying. Though she doesn't have specific numbers to share, she says returns have dipped while overall conversions have risen since adding the TurnTo's technology to the site.
Shoppers who ask and answer questions convert 250% more than GoJane.com's baseline rate and more than 20% of orders on the site come from customers who interact with the social Q&A tool, says GoJane founder Tony Pang. Additionally, past shoppers who answer questions for customers convert four times more often than average shoppers, he says.
"Today, customer engagement is the key to building long-term shopping relationships," says Deena M. Amato-McCoy, a retail research analyst at Aberdeen Group. "This grows increasingly hard as shoppers have more access to digital solutions that they use during their pre-shopping research, often making them more educated than the sales team available at their favorite retailers."
That is fueling a trend among retailers to add more digital tools for customer engagement and education to their offerings, she says, with social Q&A a particularly popular option because it allows customers to shop at their own pace.

- How to Read a Study Record
Diet and nutrition are important factors in the maintenance of good health throughout the entire life course. Their role as determinants of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases is well established. The annual increase in the prevalence and the severity of obesity in both adults and children is currently substantial, and in Finland 40% of adults are overweight or obese. Identifying the mechanisms that make some individuals vulnerable to overeating, as well as pinpointing how obesity changes the functioning of the human mental and bodily functions would be critical for understanding the current high prevalence of obesity.
Animal studies suggest that the brain extensively coordinates the adaptive mechanisms and the alterations of energy intake and expenditure. Accumulating evidence suggest that obesity is associated with changes in brain morphology and function, thus the source for obesity may lie in the brain. In the present project the investigators test this hypothesis by implementing a multimodal neuroimaging approach with positron emission tomography (PET), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM). By studying brain anatomy and function in lean individuals as well as obese patients undergoing weight loss surgery, the investigators can evaluate whether the observed differences between lean and obese individuals are causes or consequences of obesity. In PET imaging of the brain, the investigators will focus on two specific neurotransmitter systems, dopamine and opioid, which are largely been unexplored in obesity research.
Obesity is related to elevated plasma glucose levels and endothelial dysfunction. Elevated plasma glucose and endothelial dysfunction are known risk factors for diabetes and coronary heart disease.
Weight reduction modifies risk factors such as blood pressure and lipid profile for chronic diseases. On this study the investigators are able to further investigate changes in fatty acid metabolism and hormones affecting feeding and energy balance. In addition, changes in brain activation in response to food stimuli will be assessed. As far as the investigators know there are no previous positron emission tomography (PET) studies that investigate these risk factor variables from one study population pre-operatively and after bariatric surgery.
The objectives of this study are to measure effect of obesity on brain structure and molecular pathways, food-stimuli mediated brain activation response, on hormones affecting both feeding and energy balance as well as on bone metabolism and bone marrow fat. The study consists of two phases. In the first phase the studies are performed at baseline before bariatric surgery and in the second phase post-operatively after 6 months. Regional free fatty acid uptake in myocardium, skeletal muscle, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, pancreas, liver, brain, intestine and the bone are studied with PET and 14(R, S)-[18F]-fluoro-6-thia-heptadecanoic acid ([18F]FTHA). Changes in body fat distribution, in ectopic fat and fat content of key organs are investigated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). ). Cardiac functioning is studied with echocardiography and functional MRI (fMRI) and ectopic fat in and around the heart using MRI and MRS. Brain reward system response to food stimuli is assessed using functional MRI (fMRI) and white and grey matter volumes using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Brain neurotransmitter system will be measured with [11C]raclopride and [11C]carfentanil and PET. In the second part of the study the same variables are studied after bariatric surgery: either laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The objective is also to study whether less invasive sleeve gastrectomy is as beneficial in terms of weight loss and co-morbid diseases as more invasive Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and to compare the changes in tissue metabolism between these two surgical procedures.
The study consists totally of 60 study subjects. Of these 40 are morbidly obese adults, BMI

Each baby born in the United States has a label of "M" or "F" attached to him/her. Of course that stands for Masculine or Feminine. And from those few earliest moments of life, that baby is channeled --often forced-- along a path of expected behaviors that relate to those letters, M or F. No matter that each baby has inherent and genetic make-ups that do not necessarily follow that "pre-scribed" story-line. Each baby is unique from the first moment of life. Each baby has an in-bred road map to follow, but often detoured by society's shallow demands.
Current harrassments of young people by others is a growing concern. Hazing of one sort or another now has new places to exhibit its bigotry, hatred, shallowness, ignorance, etc.: the computer world. It is not enough that kids are bullied at school, or on the playground, or walking to and from school, etc. Now the bigots can do it via various cyber-means.
Of course there are the common bullying targets like obesity or some outstanding physical feature. But although we went through the struggle of open housing, open schools, etc., today we still have too great of an abundance of bigotry related to racism. But there are always other things that some narrow-minded group in society must try to make a point of vulnerability: race, height, religion, skin color, dress, or any of a myriad of things that society insists must be done a certain way.
Bigotry is often taught in the home. "The other" becomes the brunt of criticism in the home. Bigotry abounds.
Add to the above, those children and adults who have a certain sexual orientation, and voila!, out come the bigots to criticize, judge, or single out in some way. Far too often, some crazed and distorted religious or biblical reference is used to try and justify bigotry. The most extreme bigots in the South often proudly struttled their fundamental Christian principles. This sort of twisted, distorted, and prejudicial perspective exists today, and cyber-bullying allows these bigots to hide in new ways.
It is up to each of us to confront this sort of hatred and ignorance when it rears its ugly face in our society.
The over-riding principles in just about every major religious writings exhibit examples of love, peace, tolerance, understanding, compassion, empathy, etc. Bigots are not examples of these basic principles, bigots are anathema to them.
As we walk along in society amidst religious symbols and ideals, each of us should feel called upon to show our face as civilized, humane, understanding, tolerant human beings. Otherwise the holiday hoopla is a sham, a scam, a disgusting lie. Bigotry has no place in a civilized society.
Show who you are as a human being.
"The prejudices of ignorance are more easily removed than the prejudices of interest; the first are blindly adopted, the second willfully preferred." -George Bancroft
"Individuals having no religious affiliation show on the average less prejudice than do church members." -Gordon W. Allport
"Prejudice is the reason of fools." -Volatire

When we first told you about Industry Of All Nations, we knew we were dealing with a rare breed. This is a brand born from the concept of utilizing deeply woven concerns for environment, community, and fair trade in their process. We knew there was something special about their gorgeous hand-dyed organic denim fibers, their nickel-free rivets, their electricity-free hand-looms… and their efforts at developing a sustainable denim industry in South East India. And after we had a chat with them at the Capsule trade show in NYC this past September, it's obvious that this earth-conscious, community-rich concept is only the beginning.
On top of common sense, innovative products like their 100% natural African material-made sneakers or their biodegradable high-top espadrilles (hell, even their sold-out Panamericana chair has us rethinking what we're sitting on), they're releasing a line of beautiful hand-dyed colored denim skirts for spring 2012. When we previewed the line, it was presented alongside spring 2011's hand-woven Argentinean cotton belts (dubbed the Faja—we scored one, and love it) and a range of men's organic selvedge jeans. The denim, all made in India, was so rich in color and texture, it was obvious no typical mass production methods were employed in bringing it to life.
The spring 2012 denim skirts are all-natural, so there's zero stretch. But whether your preference is a spandex blend or raw denim, you'll probably agree that the styling possibilities for these beauties are off the charts. This collection is proof that sustainable, earth-conscious clothing with community roots is closing in on fashion-forward, and becoming indistinguishable in terms of aesthetic and styling potential. Industry of All Nations is helping this become a reality. Exciting, aint it?
Check out the full set below:

Check out what Industry Of All Nations has in store for fall 2011 (hint, Alpaca sweaters and more men's hand loomed organic selvedge denim in an amazing fall color story) and don't forget to visit them on facebook.

HAMILTON, N.Y. – Junior Peter Baum scored five times and four other Raiders added two goals apiece as the No. 12/14 Colgate men's lacrosse team rolled past Lafayette 18-7 Saturday afternoon at Andy Kerr Stadium. The win clinched the Raiders a spot in the Patriot League Tournament, while the 11-goal margin was the largest victory for Colgate since topping Holy Cross 22-9 in 2009.
Baum scored the Raiders first goal and then added three more in the first half to extend his scoring streak to 39-straight games, which is tied for the fifth longest in the nation. Baum also dished out a pair of assists to finish with seven points, while senior Jeff Ledwick, the reigning Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week, scored two goals and added three assists for five points. Matt Baker, Connor Brown and John Donnally each scored two goals apiece, while Brendon McCann and Ryan Walsh each recorded three points with one goal and two assists. Junior Robert Grabher was also dominate in the X for a second-straight week, winning 15-of-19 face-offs, while collecting a game-high 10 groundballs. Grabher leads the Patriot League with 93 groundballs on the season.
Colgate (10-2, 4-1) jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, before extended it to 11-2 at halftime en route to its seventh straight win over the Leopards. Baum and Baker led the opening charge with two goals apiece in the first quarter, while Donnally, Ledwick and Grabher each scored to help the Raiders jump out to a 7-0 lead. After Brian Bock, the reigning Patriot League Rookie of the Week, put Lafayette on the board to end the first quarter, the Raiders responded with two goals from Baum to start the second to extend their lead to 9-1. The Leopards would add another goal to make the score 9-2 with 9:11 left, but that would be as close as the score would get as Colgate collected goals from Walsh and Brown to head into the locker room with an 11-2 lead.
Donnally opened the second half with a goal 15 seconds into action and Ledwick added another two minutes later to extend the Raiders lead to 13-2. Lafayette (3-9, 1-4) would stop the bleeding with a goal from Jake Mann with 10 minutes remaining, but Baum and Brown responded with two more goals for Colgate to make the lead 15-3 with 6:51 left. The Leopards would score once more to end the third quarter trailing 15-4.
Three different Raiders recorded goals in the fourth quarter as every active player on the roster received playing time. McCann began the quarter with first goal of day, while Jack O'Callaghan and Matt Reyes-Guerra-Dunn both recorded their first collegiate goals. Senior Jared Madison tallied six stops in goal for Colgate during the first 42 minutes of the contest as all four net minders saw playing time.
Colgate will resume play next Friday when it visits No. 18 Bucknell at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. The Game is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network.

Robert Crais' latest is no shaggy dog story
Robert Crais made his name writing thrillers that starred private-eye Elvis Cole and tough guy Joe Pike, guys adept at dropping wisecracks and thugs in equal measure. His new heroine, she can take down a bad guy with the best of them, but beyond that she's like nothing Crais dreamed up before.
"You really want to be me when out of the blue you tell your publisher your next book is about a dog," Crais says, laughing. "Loooooong silence."
But Maggie, the military dog turned LAPD German shepherd and partner to Officer Scott James, the other protagonist of "Suspect," isn't one of your typical show biz dogs, the kind portrayed as either preternaturally smart or a human in a dog's fur coat.
"I get it," says Crais, who will sign "Suspect" in Orange County on Feb. 2. "When I first said I was going to write a book about a dog the reaction is that it's going to be like what they've seen on TV or in movies. That it's going to be a human wearing a black-and-tan jacket: 'Maggie! Get the car keys!'
"I didn't want to do that. Simply out of respect for these animals I didn't want to make Maggie a cartoon. I wanted to write her as realistically and believably as possible. And that's where the enormous amount of research came in. Because there are scenes written from Maggie's point of view and they're written as realistically as all the research I did allowed me to create them."
That his new book featured a cop-and-dog crime-fighting team happened mostly by accident, Crais says.
"I began research not because I was looking for a book but because I've always been a dog guy, though I don't have one now," he says. "My last dog passed away about 15 years ago and I was never able to replace him. I felt disloyal."
He'd picked out that dog, an Akita he named Yoshi, when the pup was just a few days old, and they lived together for 12 years until Yoshi died. After a few years, Crais said he'd occasionally think it might be time to get another dog, but he'd always drop the idea as memories of his old pack mate resurfaced.
"I decided I wanted to find out why – why do I feel this way about my dog for Christ's sakes," he says. "So I started reading about that, mostly to try to explain to myself that whole human-dog relationship. That led to enormous amounts of reading about how dogs think, how dogs perceive the world, dog senses, dog training.
"And that led to K-9 cops and their dogs, and military dogs and their trainers. And when I started to get into that territory I think that's where the character of Maggie came to me. Because there is no closer relationship between a human and a dog than between military handlers and their dogs when they're down range, overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq."
In "Suspect," both Maggie and Scott James have lost partners with whom they were close. Both are wounded characters, physically and emotionally, facets of their personalities that Crais embraced as he wrote the book.
"It allowed me to illustrate what a healing force a dog can be in our lives, and how man and dog can heal each other," he says. "I wanted to show these two damaged individuals, the dog and the man, and how they need each other and bond together and form their own pack."
Working on the book left Crais with a great deal of respect for the LAPD K-9 officers he watched work as part of his research.
"It is the most dangerous job that a police officer can have," he says. "A K-9 officer is more likely to be in violent confrontation with a bad guy than a SWAT officer, a narcotics officer, any other kind of officer. They're not deployed until there's a bad guy who's already made the choice that he's not going to give up.
"It's a pretty gnarly job."
The book also left him feeling more likely to add a new dog to his family.
"To go through this with Maggie was very healing for me personally," Crais says. "I think I could get another dog now and I think I will. There's been a lot of closure through this process."
"Suspect," which brings Maggie and Scott together to solve the crime that killed Scott's partner, was originally intended as a stand-alone book, something different to do before returning to Crais' long-running series with Elvis Cole and Joe Pike.
"I love Elvis and Joe, they're my go-to guys," Crais says. "But I fell in love with Maggie. Having written her, and where this (book) leaves off, there's ample opportunity to return to her. And what I'm hearing from initial reader, and reviewer, response – I don't want to jinx myself – but she may turn into one of my most popular characters. So I've already been noodling around ideas."
Ideas, he says, not just for a book that features Maggie and Scott, but one that might also bring her into the world he'd already created for Elvis and Joe.
"I have been trying to twist and turn and yoga that so I can maybe use Maggie in and an Elvis and Joe book," Crais says. "If I can figure that one out, that one will be a slam dunk."

Perhaps most notable about the City of Lewisville is that it houses Lake Lewisville, a Corps of Engineers reservoir that is immensely popular for water sports and outdoor recreation in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The City of Lewisville manages Lake Park on the south shore of the lake and includes picnic areas, RV and tent camping, pavilions, a 24-hour fishing barge, and a swimming beach. Marinas, boat rentals, launch ramps, and angler's supplies are also available. Anglers enjoy Lake Lewisville with catches that include large-mouth bass, crappie, catfish, and white bass. Additional favorite activities include swimming, water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, sail boarding, camping, biking, and picnicking.
Recently, Old Town Lewisville has been revitalized featuring buildings from the early decades of the 20th century housing shopping, casual dining, and office space. The charming, ambiance of Old Town comes to life with frequent concerts and special events throughout the year. Additionally, during the summer months, families convene for picnicking at the Vista Ridge Amphitheater for free concerts.
The city of Lewisville is served by the Lewisville Independent School District and recently, Texas Monthly ranked Killough Lewisville High School North as first among Texas high schools.
House-hunters can find a good mix of old and new in this mature city. Some ranch-style, 1970s homes can be found in older parts of the area, but newer, more contemporary floorplans are scattered throughout many neighborhoods in Lewisville.

Bitz Suspended Two Games
Thomas Drance
April 12 2012 06:28PM
Going into the postseason, the Canucks were the only NHL team that could boast a clean sheet where supplementary discipline was concerned. That changed on Thursday evening, as it was officially announced that Byron Bit has received a two game suspension from the league for his dirty hit to the head of L.A. Kings pugilist Kyle Clifford in game one. Kyle Clifford will miss at least the next game between the two teams on Friday.
The video itself is standard, it's clear why Bitz's hit was dirty, and richly deserved the two game punishment that was doled out by the League. Of course, at the very least this was a "hockey hit gone wrong" as opposed to an out of nowhere wrestling maneuver, like the other controversial hit from Wednesday night: Shea Weber's turnbuckle head slam on Henrik Zetterberg. For that bit of thuggish nastiness, which, indisputably targeted Zetterberg's head, Shea Weber was only fined $2,500 (the maximum amount).
It'll be tempting for Canucks fans to lament the double standard, but those two hits have nothing in common. The NHL dropped the ball on the Weber hit, and they got this one right. Importantly, Clifford was injured on this play, while Zetterberg thankfully skated away from getting mugged by Weber. In my opinion, intent should matter more than the result in making decisions pertaining to discipline, but that's just not the standard the NHL uses.
What Shanahan's two decisions today expose, however, is the double standard present in the treatment of "stars" and the treatment of "depth-players" in disciplinary matters. This double standard is a long-standing NHL tradition, but it's the sort of amateurish stupidity that some of us (naively) hoped might change with Shanahan at the helm of the league's Office of Player Safety. Shanahan's term started off so well, and has since descended into the same old farcical nonsense we've long since come to expect from the fourth most successful professional sports league in North America.
Watching the first period of the Rangers - Senators game this evening, it was hard not to notice Rangers forward Brian Boyle speed-bagging star defenseman Erik Karlsson while his team was short-handed. The result? Off-setting minor penalties, of course. That type of gutless refereeing sounds familiar, doesn't it?
From the shoddy performance of on-ice officials, to the stench of hypocrisy wafting out of the hilariously named Office of "Player Safety," it's clear that, despite that momentary burst of hope this past fall, the NHL remains a cowardly institution.
Ridiculous. I turned off HNIC audio last night so I didn't have to hear Simpson creating his new version of reality. I guess it's only a matter of time before I stop watching at all because no one -- least of all the refs it seems like -- can apply the rules that are IN THE RULE BOOK properly and consistently. I'm sure I can find something else to do with my time.
I agree about intent needing to be dealt with when handing out discipline, (Daniel Sedin, amyone?) but on that track, last year in the finals when Mason Raymond got can-opened, breaking his back there wadn't even a penalty called. That wad before Shan began doling discipline, but still. I'm learning quick that you can't trust the league in these matters a great deal of the time. Sigh.
I agree with a lot of this. I love watching hockey, but this stuff is starting to get to me. I remember saying to someone about Torres' hit on Seabrook last year that, even if it was a clean hit by the book, it shouldn't be, and the rule should be changed. I agree that the non-call on the Raymond hit was also disappointing. And I agree that the promise of the Shanahan era is fading.
But the problem is that it is so widespread that it almost becomes impossible to get out of the "gutless refereeing." There's no team that doesn't do it, and that doesn't crank it up at playoff time. Most fans seem content to just point the finger at another team. At some point, the players themselves will have to ask for a change (maybe through the NHLPA), because the owners are generally content to sell this as "drama."
I disagree that the two hits had nothing in common. The target, and principal point of contact in both cases was the head (it was not Zetterburg's shoulder, arm or chest that Weber took in his hand and propelled violently into the glass) and a more compelling case for "intent" can be made in the Weber hit than the Bitz hit. I have no problem with the Bitz suspension. It was merited and fair (far more fair than the record breaking suspension to Aaron Rome in last year's playoffs) but I do fear that the lack of action on the Weber hit indicates a trend to consider the name on the back of the jersey as much as the facts of the case.

A sequel to My Big Fat Greek wedding starring the original cast is being made
. What do you think?
I think the blind you posted about this topic a couple of months ago must be b.s. since she apparently doesn't hate the Hanks family for ripping her off. That said the Tv show didn't do well and this sequel equated to giving her work.ReplyCancel
Go head Joey Fatone!ReplyCancel
@sandybrooke, I don't think they've revealed it yet, but it sure was implied.
Today's Blind Items – They Stole Her MoneyReplyCancel
Unless Aunt Voula coughs up the charred remains of that tumor she was so proud of…*fart spund*
(Thx disco:)
The Greeks have suffered enough tragedy.ReplyCancel
That is definitely the blind I was thinking of 7.ReplyCancel
Oh, Dingle Barry, that was perfection!ReplyCancel
I can't imagine it being good. Never know thoughReplyCancel
Disco n Sherry …lol
I was going to read the comments whe I figured out the spell that exact same thing. Haha
It's actually going to be about parenthood, if Nia V's tweets are anything to go by:
(1 of 2) I'm working on the MBFGWedding sequel; now that I'm experiencing motherhood I feel ready to write this next chapter.
(2 of 2) A few jaded press corps will claim I ran out of money or just want to kiss John Corbett again. One of these things is true.
I don't care either way. I never saw the first.ReplyCancel
They make this tripe but won't make my script about Mecha Hitler developing an autonomous legion of killer cyborgs during the waning days of WWI, which offsets the debt that Germany had that caused his rise to power in our world. In this reality he works alongside the Allies as they battle a new WWII where it is the Allied Powers against the Axis of Vampires. It picks up in the 3rd act when Einstein is infected with the Vampirism gene AND the Werewold genes making him a vampire werewolf. Just wait until you see FDR take control of a mech suit and takes to the front lines and shows how to speak softly and carry a big stick. A big pointy laser stick.ReplyCancel
I love the original. I'd probably watch the sequel just to see…bc I'm a sucker. Yes, I watched Bring it In 2 (but not 3), and mean Girls2 which is just horrible. My kids could have written a better plot to MG2ReplyCancel
OK, this is totally OT for the OT of the day, but since no one is probably still reading yesterday's OT: I have found a source of Kinder Eggs in the US, right here in my neighborhood! It's a little Italian grocery store, and they had a whole slew of them up by the display; the gentleman behind the counter had never heard that they were supposedly illegal in this country, because he's apparently never had any trouble importing them.
So…how much will you guys pay me to send some your way? I'm still out of work and could use the money, so there will definitely be a *ahem* shipping and handling fee, you know… 😉ReplyCancel

Sajan Ram is a man of principle, believing in non-violence, non-absolute viewpoints and the interdependence of all existence. He is one of an army of turban-clad, earnest, devout farmers who work the parched land of the Thar Desert using centuries-old methods.
The wiry 80-year-old greets me cordially in his hamlet, 5km into the desert from the small settlement of Rohetgarh in Rajasthan, India. As the head of his family he is dressed in white cotton, a dhoti around his waist falling to the ankles and a chola over his shoulders. The pure white garments contrast markedly with his dark, swarthy complexion and black-rimmed spectacles.
I bow slightly and bring my palms together in respect for the patriarch of this family, which comprises his wife, four married sons, their wives and 18 grandchildren. He tells me through an interpreter that all the children attend school, going in the mornings to avoid the intense afternoon heat.
While Sajan and I sit facing each other on sleeping stretchers in the middle of the compound, his tiny wife sits cross-legged outside their sleeping hut. The hut's walls and the hard-packed ground have been expertly plastered with a smooth, yellow ochre mix of sand, hay and cow dung, which, because of its antiseptic qualities, resists termites.
The roof has been thatched with woven straw. The interior is light, airy and very clean.
I'm intrigued by the practical layout of Sajan's compound. Low walls separate the four dwellings and the associated utility buildings such as cookhouses, stock shelters and storerooms. My visit is part of an exciting 16-day tour of Rajasthan with a contract driver and vehicle.
One daughter-in-law is resplendent in a pink sari and veil with a large gold nose ring and a red dot on her forehead signifying her marital status. She smiles sweetly, tugs her veil down to partly obscure her face and beckons me towards a storeroom where a modern motorcycle leans against the wall. Clearly the machine is her pride and joy.
She finds the ignition key, turning it until the engine kicks into life and her face glows radiantly. Sadly, religious beliefs prevent her from riding solo. Protocol and propriety demand she sit side-saddle on the pillion seat behind her husband, often doubling with a third family member.
With a swish of her sari, the young woman walks briskly to her bread-making hut and demonstrates the efficiency of the family's millet grinding stone. I take a turn on the handle as she drops in a handful of seeds, which instantly turn into a fine powder. A broad smile and an unexpected song follow. No lyrics are discernible, just a repetition of the "la, la, la" sound. I capture this musical interlude on my recorder and play it back to a very appreciative audience of one.
The final stop on my impromptu tour is the cooking hut, with its meagre stack of pots and utensils and a small fire. The families here strictly observe the 29 Bishnois and Jainism rules of life conceived by a 15th century guru, and treat animals, birds, trees and plants with great respect. They would never think of killing the abundant deer, cows and goats that surround their compound.
The Bishnois people are vegetarian and never use opium, tobacco, cannabis or liquor. They pledge to remain content with their lot, meditate twice a day, recite the holy name of Vishnu and eat food cooked only by one who is pure of heart.
Their spiritual mentor, Guru Jambheshwar, Avatar of Lord Vishnu, laid down the 29 tenets to conserve the biodiversity of the land and ensure a healthy life for the community. The triple gems of Jainism are "right view, right knowledge and right conduct", which provide the pathway to divine consciousness and lead to the ultimate goal of nirvana.
One fascinating aspect of this austere, ascetic way of life, which is traditional for Hindus and Jainists alike, is the emphasis on conservation.
The guru was probably the first spiritual man to teach ecological awareness. Since then, countless millions of people have treated all animals as sacred, with the gentle bovine, Mother Cow, standing high above the pantheon of blessed creatures. The monkey, cobra, bull and peacock are also revered as they are associated with gods.
The special relationship that Indians have with other living things has resulted in the country having the world's richest variety of flora and fauna. This immensely crowded continent has 340 species of mammal, including lions and tigers. The Bishnois can claim credit for the survival of the black buck antelope. The herds stay close to their hamlets and display complete trust in the people.
I meet one of Sajan's sons, a handsome young man whose wife brings out their little daughter, Buja. The child emerges wide-eyed at seeing the strange, pale-faced visitor. She clutches a large painting of Lord Vishnu, the only decorative object I've seen in the hamlet.
I photograph a jovial group of Bishnois ladies with lovely smiles lighting up their faces.
Despite the hardship of living in the Thar Desert, the people here are satisfied and happy. Like most hamlets, this one is a fair distance from the nearest drinking water. One young woman shows how she carries a metal water container balanced on her head. I attempt to do the same and find I cannot take a single step without supporting the container with two hands. The women chortle.
Sajan's family derives only a small income from rearing milking cows and goats. When there is rain, fodder for the cattle is plentiful. My visit coincides with a two-month drought, which threatens the well-being of the animals and crops of millet and pulses. In spite of the food shortages, life goes on. The people are resourceful and resilient.
A typical breakfast is millet chapatti bread, milk and yoghurt. Lunch consists of dhal, black lentils boiled in water then cooked with garam masala, red chillies, cumin seeds and fresh coriander. Dinner is usually fruit and vegetables with balls of steamed maize flour cooked with coriander, spinach and mint, plus milk products.
I return to the Hotel Rohetgarh in a contemplative mood, after an experience among warm, hospitable people.
This ancestral home of the Thakur Dalpat Singh family has been cherished by generations of noblemen since 1622. It's a venerable heritage hotel with sprawling lawns, manicured gardens and peacocks, a haven of peace and tranquillity in the desert. Each room is beautifully furnished with colourful frescoes on walls and ceilings.
It is also a world far removed from that of the Bishnois people a few kilometres away. May they continue to be happy and blessed for their steadfastness in keeping the faith.

You Become Someone, By Doing Something.
Just.. Epic.
Why do I get the feeling that Caesar and Monet are going to be in for a bit of "wtf" when they find out that the Cyborg that the brothers captured is actually Nami in Franky's body? It might be hilarious.
And kind of glad that those Yeti Cool Brothers aren't some joke, but I do wonder how they "neutralized" Zoro, Sanji, and Brook when they claim to have 'killed' them. A translation error, maybe.
Anyone else able to imagine those two trumping 'roided up Hody like he was some beach ball in a scarier game of hot potato?
You know, I hate trying to speculate who will become a crew member or not, but the Straw hats do need another girl, and Monet seem to be really interested in the Straw hats, so I hope she gets in, better then the samurai anyway.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
^I was wondering that as well. However, we already have a heavily historical member (and girl) in Robin. Ultimately, I believe she is either going to be a cut and dry bad guy or is going to be one who is simply putting up with her associate so she doesn't become one of his experiement specimens.
I do see how it's possible that Zoro and Sanji got taken out. They were busy arguing to pay attention as per usual. The Yeti Bro's seem to have a camouflage ability. They prob walked right into the 2 without knowing it. And Brook, well, his prob playing dead yet again.
The thing with The Yeti Cool Brothers and Zoro's group is this, Brook is the only one who is shown to display any resistance while Zoro and Sanji look like they just collapsed and the area shows no signs that a fight took place. From the recent chapter, we can see that they are faster than Luffy and strong enough to take out half the straw hats with no trouble so a fight with Brook losing is reasonable, but what about Sanji and Zoro? Sanji being in Nami's body pretty much makes him useless, Nami using brains over brawn while Sanji uses the exact opposite. Brook and Sanji are reasonable to be down and out, but that leaves just Zoro. To add, The Brothers believe them to be dead.
In conclusion, Zoro and company didn't want to deal with the hassle to fight them and decided to play dead. Maybe.
I Love You!
welcome again, Bon chan, and very thank you to oga that let bon chan on the one piece 666 cover! great job!
and i think i still can not used of the style of nami, chopper, sanji, and frank, so weird to me...
well, now i am confused about law...
Bon Clay!
I was kinda happy that it reached the 666 mark, but it contained less action but more information.
For the Joker guy, if he's not a new character then the only person I can think of him being would be Doflamingo. The look fits the name and he has connections with some very important people in the government and could easily use them to cover up what he's doing. He also has connections to a lot of other people and organizations, so whats one more in his little empire. This could also connect with Law. He might have joined the Shichibukai to find out more about Doflamingo, and then became part of the Punk Hazard team to spy on what Doflamingo's doing. Why? Theres no way to know as Law's past is unknown at this time. And no, there flag similarities have nothing to do with it, they aren't even that similar. However its the most likely possibility for now.

Whose Eyes are You Going to Believe? Scott v. Harris and the Perils of Cognitive Illiberalism

Harvard Law Review, Vol. 122, 2009
Harvard Law School Program on Risk Regulation Research Paper No. 08-18
Yale Law School, Public Law Working Paper No. 159
3rd Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies Papers
This paper accepts the unusual invitation to see for yourself issued by the Supreme Court in Scott v. Harris, 127 S. Ct. 1769 (2007). Scott held that a police officer did not violate the Fourth Amendment when he deliberately rammed his car into that of a fleeing motorist who refused to pull over for speeding and instead attempted to evade the police in a high-speed chase. The majority did not attempt to rebut the arguments of the single Justice who disagreed with its conclusion that no reasonable juror could find the fleeing driver did not pose a deadly risk to the public. Instead, the Court uploaded to its website a video of the chase, filmed from inside the pursuing police cruisers, and invited members of the public to make up their own minds after viewing it. We showed the video to a diverse sample of 1,350 Americans. Overall a majority agreed with the Court's resolution of the key issues, but within the sample there were sharp differences of opinion along cultural, ideological, and other lines. We attribute these divisions to the psychological disposition of individuals to resolve disputed facts in a manner supportive of their group identities. The paper also addresses the normative significance of these findings. The result in the case, we argue, might be defensible, but the Court's reasoning was not. Its insistence that there was only one reasonable view of facts itself displayed a characteristic of a form of bias - cognitive illiberalism - that consists in the failure to recognize the connection between perceptions of societal risk and contested visions of the ideal society. When courts fail to take steps to counteract that bias, they needlessly invest the law with culturally partisan overtones that detract from the law's legitimacy.

Leinster took another step towards reclaiming their Heineken Cup crown on Saturday as they crushed Cardiff Blues 34-3 at Aviva Stadium.
Leinster took another step towards reclaiming their Heineken Cup crown on Saturday as they crushed Cardiff Blues 34-3 in a one-sided fixture.
It was a performance of champions from last year's winners, with their first-half blitz shell-shocking the Welsh region at the home of Irish rugby. They must now wait to see whether they will go to Twickenham or Bordeaux in the semis.
The early sparring saw Leinster enjoy much of the early dominance at scrum-time as they worked over their Welsh opponents, in particular the front-row. That was the platform they used to race into a healthy lead that saw them go in at half-time 27-3 up. A Cardiff comeback looked impossible.
Isa Nacewa, Rob Kearney and Brian O'Driscoll scored the tries in the first 40 minutes, with the latter's effort set to be a nominee for try of the year.
Cardiff Blues were struggling for any pattern, possession and more importantly territory as Leigh Halfpenny's penalty was all they had put on the board. That kick from distance brought false hope for the Blues, who were missing injured duo Sam Warburton and Jamie Roberts.
Their first try took just twelve minutes to arrive when Jonathan Sexton glided into space inside the Blues half and then fed Kearney who straightened well before pushing the ball out to wing Nacewa. Sexton's conversion was the start of the reigning champions' surge.
With the score 10-3, Leinster were keen to add to their advantage and did just that when Eoin Reddan's scamper up the middle of the field led to full-back Kearney cruising over.
Three minutes later and it was the turn of O'Driscoll in what was a special try in front of the supporters at Aviva Stadium. A beautiful no-look pass from Sexton off quick line-out ball put Luke Fitzgerald through a gap and with O'Driscoll on his shoulder, it was a simple run-in.
Floodgates well-and-truly open one would think with not even 35 minutes on the clock.
Leinster did start the second-half the same way they finished the first and were over for their fourth try on 46 minutes when O'Driscoll's inside pass allowed Kearney to get his brace. The rugby was another level up from the national side who had recently played at the venue.
The procession would not continue for Joe Schmidt's side though as greater resolve from the Blues saw them keep Leinster from scoring in the final 33 minutes. In fact, they thought they had scored themselves when veteran openside flanker Martyn Williams went over on the hour mar, but the Television Match Official ruled he had failed to ground the ball.
The quarter-final was long gone in truth as Leinster replaced the likes of short-term signing Brad Thorn and O'Driscoll and cruised into a last four clash with Saracens or Clermont.
The scorers:
For Leinster:
Tries: Nacewa, Kearney 2, O'Driscoll
Con: Sexton 4
Pen: Sexton 2
For Cardiff Blues:
Pen: Halfpenny
Leinster: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Isa Nacewa, 13 Brian O'Driscoll, 12 Gordon D'Arcy, 11 Luke Fitzgerald, 10 Jonathan Sexton, 9 Eoin Reddan, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 Sean O'Brien, 6 Kevin McLaughlin, 5 Brad Thorn, 4 Leo Cullen (capt), 3 Mike Ross, 2 Richardt Strauss, 1 Cian Healy.
Replacements: 16 Sean Cronin, 17 Heinke van der Merwe, 18 Nathan White, 19 Devin Toner, 20 Shane Jennings, 21 Isaac Boss, 22 Ian Madigan, 23 Fergus McFadden.
Cardiff Blues: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 Alex Cuthbert, 13 Casey Laulala, 12 Dafydd Hewitt, 11 Tom James, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Lloyd Williams, 8 Xavier Rush (capt), 7 Martyn Williams, 6 Michael Paterson, 5 James Down, 4 Bradley Davies, 3 Scott Andrews, 2 Marc Breeze, 1 Gethin Jenkins.
Replacements: 16 Kristian Dacey, 17 John Yapp, 18 Sam Hobbs, 19 Macauley Cook, 20 Maama Molitika, 21 Richie Rees, 22 Ceri Sweeney, 23 Gavin Evans.
Referee: Dave Pearson (England)
