I'd much rather see her speak than some of the others out there. Would really like seeing her as a headliner at conferences.
DS1: 2/02 DD: 9/04 DS2: 9/07 and EDD: 11/13
Dp and I just watched this last night. It was awesome. I searched for a reference to it because if there wasn't one, I was going to post one. :) Now I can just bump.
I also thought I wouldn't watch the whole thing, but like others, I wanted more when it was over. I also really loved that she stuck to her convictions when she was implicitly implored to set aside her well-reasoned, well-expressed judgments. I enjoy rationally principled people, whether or not I agree with them; I am inspired by people whose personal integrity is made manifest. :)
Well, I've been absent for 8 months, and during that time, it turns out that I have completely transformed. You are all precious. Thank you for being here and sharing your lives. You are truly a gift. Jan. 23, 2012
I enjoyed her talk, but I thought she did a poor job of answering questions. The usual issues were raised regarding socialization, education level of the parents, supporting adult children who were presumably unprepared to support themselves, etc. I thought her answers were vague and not very encouraging for unschooling. For example, someone asked about whether "blue collar" parents could unschool. She didn't really point out the assumption here that the parents are going to be teachers, she didn't address that well, and sort of hummed and hawed about it. Someone mentioned how her home must have had lots of books and musical instruments and what if another family couldn't afford that or didn't have those things. Um, libraries? Music lessons? Again she was vague. So while I thought she'd be a good example of an unschooled life, I don't think she'd make for a good speaker at places other than where people already understand and embrace unschooling and are simply perhaps looking for examples of unschooled grownups who are capable, intelligent, and well-spoken.

I don't think she ordinarily speaks about unschooling. I think she brought up issues with equitable access to information and opportunity that unschoolers typically ignore. That's what struck me. I haven't watched in awhile.
I do recall liking that she just said what she thought as though it were perfectly normal and acceptable. She spoke as though what she presented was the obvious truth. It made me not question what she was saying. Of course, I agree with her, so that probably doesn't help that as an argument!
Thanks for posting this video.
Well-spoken - yes she is! It was a pleasure to listen to her and I would have enjoyed another hour as well.
I don't think she aimed to convince anyone to unschool. She clearly stated that it worked for her family and that she enjoyed it, was grateful for the experience. But she also raised critical questions, and I appreciated her honesty on that front.
Libraries are wonderful and most hs / us families couldn't manage with out them. But they don't necessarily play all the roles that an educated parent would be able to, even if (or esp if) that educated parent was largely hands-off and zen. I think that uneducated parents, esp if they have self-taught themselves something that they enjoy doing can facilitate as well or better than an educated one. But there are also a lot of parents, whether educated or not, who are compelled to work long hours in dreary jobs and they may face certain disadvantages when it comes to the kind of trusting facilitation that helps unschooling to thrive. I am really just thinking aloud here.
I disagree. I found her talk quite inspiring and kind of want to protect her from the Unschooling Establishment. While unschooling conferences are great fun, one also encounters sometimes the evangelical drive and the pep-rally atmosphere. I think it may actually be better to have talks like this in the general audience rather than among very much like-minded crowds.

Your issue is with the needs of Weblogic 9.2 so the post needs to be in a Weblogic forum.
2. Re: Weblogic 9.2 Supports Java7souvik_das Mar 10, 2013 4:55 PM (in response to 995153)the weblogic installations downloaded from oracle are 32-bit versions with java packaged along.
In case you want to try weblogic 9.2 with jdk 7 you will have to install jdk 7 separately and then point to this jdk during installation.
Please do consider the aspect of licensing and support as the latest version is 12c which is whole different ball game which is best not discussed on forums.

Travertine floor- correct info new thread
Hello everyone,
Based on the feedback I started a new thread with all the details on the construction for my new addition on second floor master bath Travertine tiles. Can someone confirm the structure and floor strength, deflection ratio, etc.
Here it is
18 by 18 honed and filled Travertine
Joist 2 x 10, doubled every other.
Span is 15 ft
Joist 16 inches on center
Spruce Pine , #2
osb 3/4 boards, screwed.
additional 1/2 boards
1/4 inch dur-rock
1/8 thinset plus 1/8 thinset for the heated floor system.
The shower did NOT get the extra 1/2 underneath as that was built already. The joist under the knee wall in the shower has a double joist. The shower is on the back of the wall and is approx 5 ft by 7 ft.
Is the shower part ok ? It is porcelain and some stone.
1. How is the structure ?
2. Deflection ratio ok ?
3. Should this be sufficient ?
The cracked tiles I have are in the old part of the addition.
Thanks for the help.
Your floor is not stiff enough for natural stone tiles. It may not be stiff enough for ceramic either.
Many building departments allow a lower standard for 2nd floor "sleeping rooms". I think they allow L240 where the basic standard is no more than L360 deflection. Natural stone should start with framing that meets L720. You're not even close.
Thanks for the reply and right to the point. I had flat out asked the engineer if for this floor it needs to start with a stronger structure and he said no. Matter of fact he said he never heard anyone use the standard of an L720..only L600. He claims the every other double joist started the floor at L420 and with the subfloors brings it to L600.
The floor below this second floor addition was to support stone and ceramic tile, I have questioned this as well and believe this to be substandard. The room has a stone fireplace, hearth floor stone tile and the rest is hardwood.
Here is the info for this floor:
2 x 8, joist 16 on center.
span 10 ft 5 in
osb 3/4 boards
Jaz, do you or would anyone on this site be certified as an engineer or what level of authority can state this firmly.
My next question to you is what is the fix ?
Can it be supported properly at this point ?
What needs to be done ?
This so-called "engineer" must have been living in a tree house somewhere.
The Tile Council of North America (TCNA) is the governing authority (if there is one) for ceramic tile installations. The Marble Institute of America (MIA) sets the standards for natural stone installations. Then there is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that also prescribes suitable methods.
Do you mean to tell us THIS engineer has never heard of those forty and fifty year old entities? Which railroad does he work for?:)
PS: Re: NTCA, MIA, ANSI...
If you were to go to their respective websites, you could purchase their recommendations for a reasonable fee. THEN you would have the information in your hands and wouldn't have to depend on the information you are getting from these forums and some un-informed so-called engineer. In fact the TCNA offering can include the related information from ANSI all in one purchase.:)
I agree with Bud, this engineer is not calculating deflection correctly. For ceramic and stone you also need to consider "point load" deflection, not just what the entire floor can hold. It's not good the have tiles crack above every other joist, and the subfloor adds little or no stiffness the the joists, it just adds stiffness between the joists.
If your framing joists were not doubled at every other joist, you could safely have a span of about 11' for natural stone to meet L720. There is no grade of spruce that will span 15' for natural stone. Matter of fact you can not span 15' and even meet L360 with single joists. Granted, doubling every other joist helps to get you over the basic minimum, (L360), but that does not help you with natural stone. There's the answer, ditch the stone and get ceramic/porcelain instead.
We could continue this thread with other deficiencies, but unless you're ready to rip out the ceiling below and add framing, you need to reconsider your tile choice, or do it wrong anyway.
Thanks again for your insight. We in fact plan on having ceiling cut open and finishing it as planned. With that in mind what are the correct steps to fix.
Also, I would like to fix the other deficiencies also. Please feel free to elaborate so I can get everything corrected.
Please comment on the section of the shower 5ft by 7 ft that has only a 3/4 osb underneath before they started with mortar.
what is the calculation for point load deflection ? What do I have and what should it be ?
The goal is a fix and the correct fix and steps I need to do this correctly. Please don't hold back..
Please don't hold back...:no:
Some of your question require an engineering degree and of course being there.
The easiest fix I can recommend from here is to shorten the span by installing a supporting beam at or near midspan. This will fix the framing.
You will also need a double layer subfloor/underlayment for natural stone. You mentioned 3/4" OSB, then you said
Follow with the 1/4" CBU set into fresh thin set mortar and fastened with the special screws or roofing nails. Tape the seams and smooth with thin set, preferably as you're setting the tiles.
Before all this, be sure that the joists are in plane with each other. The finished-ready for tile floor must be very flat.
OH.... why thin set for the warming mat?
Had a meeting with a Stone Tile company and they confirmed the following;
The mortar used for the large stone tile was incorrect ( Mapei Tile Mortar )
The cracking in the old area could be from the lack of coverage under the tiles.
The contractor was there and agreed to replace and redo the tile.
They also confirmed my kids bathroom floor was installed with insufficient coverage and will be replaced. This one had the sanded cracking sound underneath.
I still need to correct the the sub standard L420 total load L600 that his engineer has stated as the numbers.
I am not sure of the quality of the osb boards but it was two layers of the same boards, 3/4 to the joist and 1/2 on top. Is this ok or does this need to be replaced as well ?
The original part of the remodel has a plywood from 1986 nailed in and 1/2 osb nailed over that..what should take place here if we are ripping up the floor anyway ? I wonder if the old joist need some help ?
FYI, this site has been amazing and extremely helpful. What a great group of people here..
The is nothing wrong with Mapei mortars. I believe you were told that in the other thread. He just used the wrong one. Maybe he has little experience or maybe he didn't or couldn't read the instructions on the bag.
Thanks Jaz.
Correct regarding the mortar, I believe the Tile sub chose the $10 bag instead of the $20 to save money is my thoughts.
I did not have the engineer out yet, spoke with one. He will be charging $250 to come out and evaluate and $250 for a written proposal of the fix, does this sound correct ?
Also, please share your thoughts on the joist numbers.
In my flooring what are the answers for these three questions,
1. Doubling every joist with 2 x 10..what is the L number ?
2. If I double each joist and add the beam at the center which you suggested , what is the L number ?
3. if I leave it doubled every other and add center beam , what is the L number ?
Jaz your PM Box has exceeded its limits. Time to clean house.:yes:
Yea yea I know. I'm a sucker! :whistling2:
If he's willing to do it for $500, and you're willing to pay him $500, perfect.
I charge $250 and up for up to one hour of verbal advice at the local job site. A simple letter of my conclusions is $250. I limit my opinions as it relates to tilework, not general structure.
I've recently set up a PayPal account for telephone & email consultations. Those rates are a little lower. I am sometimes asked to look at a few problems away from the home base. Why? I'm not sure since that costs much more.

Louis Pain, dubbed "Portland's boss of the B-3" by The Oregonian, is a musician's musician. (Just read the testimonial quotes at this site's "Home" page to confirm that.) When called upon, Louis is a dynamic soloist, but he specializes in the subtle art of making the musicians and vocalists he works with sound their best. For him, the song's the thing, not showing off. That's why he's always in demand with his peers.
It's been that way since Louis started playing professionally in his hometown of San Francisco back in 1970. Starting out in "Top 40" bands, Louis quickly graduated to playing in a variety of genres with some of the best musicians in the Bay Area, including funk guitarist Bruce Conte (Tower of Power), jazz saxophonist Jules Broussard (Ray Charles, Santana), gospel vocalist Dorothy Morrison (Edwin Hawkins Singers), and the late rock/jazz saxophonist Cornelius Bumpus (Doobie Bros & Steely Dan).
Since moving to Portland in '86, Louis has continued the trend, working regularly with top Portland blues/soul artists including the late, great Paul deLay and Linda Hornbuckle, Curtis Salgado, Lloyd Jones, Andy Stokes, and Lisa Mann, as well as with jazz musicians Mel Brown, Thara Memory, Dan Faehnle, and Dan Balmer. Louis also is the "first call" organist to back visiting musical legends, who have included Bernard "Pretty" Purdie," Phil Upchurch, Martha Reeves, the Shirelles, and now-departed musical giants Solomon Burke, Howard Tate, and Bo Diddley.
In the past few years, Louis has added some uber-talented young musicians to his list of collaborators, including Austin-based blues-rock singer/songwriter/guitarist Ty Curtisand NYC-based jazz saxophonist Hailey Niswanger.
In addition to working extensively as a sideman, Louis has blossomed as a bandleader in Portland, co-leading King Louie & Baby James with the late, great NW vocalist "Sweet Baby James" Benton, co-leading "King Louie & LaRhonda Steele," and organizing a series of successful soul music tributes featuring the Portland Soul All-Stars (aka King Louie's Portland Blues Revue). Louis also has frequently led bands for weddings and corporate gigs, becoming Nike's go-to musical contractor along the way.
In addition to freelancing as a sideman and leading his own groups, Louis rents out the best Hammond organs in the NW, teaches music, and hangs out at his Washougal, WA home with his wife/manager Tracy Turner-Pain (Soul Sisters Productions, LLC) and their children, grandchildren, & remarkably friendly cats.

Jeff Cunningham assisted twice and scored his league-leading 14th goal as Real Salt Lake won an unprecedented fourth straight game with a 3-1 win over Houston Dynamo. Chris Klein and Douglas Sequeira also scored for Salt Lake, now just two points out of a playoff spot, in front of a 14,091 crowd at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Cunningham is two goals shy of his highest-scoring season. He struck 16 goals for Columbus in 2002. He has scored 10 or more goals in five of his nine MLS seasons.
After a 0-0 tie with D.C. United in his first game in charge of the New
York Red Bulls, Coach Bruce Arena's second game was a 1-0 loss to the Columbus Crew, MLS's worst team this season. Joseph Ngwenya's goal was all the Crew needed to end a 13-game
winless streak in front of an announced crowd of 20,149 in Columbus.
An announced crowd of 18,006 at RFK Stadium watched D.C. United tie its third game in a row, 1-1 against Colorado.
Kyle Beckerman scored for Colorado in the first half and Christian Gomez notched his eighth goal of the season in the second half.
Santino Quaranta scored his
second goal in his third appearance for Los Angeles since arriving from D.C. United to help the last-place Galaxy down first-place FC Dallas, 2-0, in front of announced crowd of 21,967 at the Home
Depot Center. Landon Donovan scored his fifth goal of the season in for L.A., which is five points out of the playoff zone.
The 2005 runner-up New England dropped below the .500
mark with a 1-0 loss to Chicago, whose Andy Herron scored his fifth goal of the season. Six Fire players and three Revs were yellow-carded in the game played before 10,263 fans in
Foxboro, Mass. Chicago, a week after dropping to fifth place, now sits second in the East behind D.C. United.
Rookie of the Year front-runner Jonathan Bornstein scored in the 83rd
minute to salvage a 1-1 tie for Chivas USA against Kansas City, for which Jose Burciaga struck late in the first half on a free kick in front of 10,989 at the Home Depot Center. It was
Bornstein's fifth goal of the season and Burciaga's sixth.

Wondering what to do this weekend? There's plenty of family-friendly fun right here in Oldham County.
La Grange Railroad Festival & Burgoo Cookoff
Festivities kickoff Friday with The Allen Lane Band performing 7-9 p.m. on the courthouse lawn. Lead singer Allen Lane is an integral part of this year's railroad festival.
On Saturday, festivities are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting with a Kids' Choo Choo Sidewalk Parade will take place around the courthouse lawn.
The Oldham Era has a special pink paper coming out Oct. 25 in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Our front page, and several additional pages, will be printed on pink paper.
The pink pages will include a Pink Ribbon Salute featuring commemorative ads.
Ads are $20 each and a portion will be donated to the Oldham County Relay for Life!
You have several options:
School board candidates had a chance to speak publicly at a forum last week, ahead of an important November election.
Four of the five board seats are contested this year and many consider it an important time in Oldham County Schools' history as construction is set to begin on Brownsboro Elementary and the district continues to tap into financial reserves to avoid raising taxes.
Although school board positions are non-partisan, the Oldham County Republican Party hosted a forum for candidates Sept. 25.
A heated battle that caused rifts in the Brownsboro community is over — for now.
A special-appointed judge ruled against proposed incorporation of the Village of Brownsboro Sept. 27, just hours after hearing the case in Jefferson circuit court.
In his ruling, Senior Judge Martin McDonald ruled against the petition to incorporate for what he called "four independently sufficient reasons."
La Grange may be dead at night — but not in the way you think. There's plenty of activity, according to Spirits of La Grange Ghost Tour guides.
Footsteps overhead, knocking on walls, even the occasional touch — attendees and guides report a range of unexplained activities during tours.
It's the 10th year for the tour, which includes about eight different stops, said Barbara Manley Edds, who helped launch them.
After he fled La Grange in February, police recently arrested a wanted fugitive found in Louisville.
Officers from probation and parole acted on a tip that Ronnell E. Trice, 39, was living in a Louisville hotel.
Trice was wanted for three counts of trafficking a controlled substance, first degree, and one count of being a persistent felony offender.
The locally-produced, artisan-quality trend is taking hold in another industry — and one Pewee Valley man hopes to be ahead of the curve.
First it was cheese, wine, bread and beer — all products seeing a rise in "craft" production focused on small batches and special ingredients.
Now, it's spirits. Bourbon, vodka and other spirits are being produced by micro-distillers across the country.
People are surprised to hear what one Goshen woman does for a living — and quite frankly, she's just as surprised to say it.
Amy Parks is a professional face painter.
But she's not a clown, or a magician, or a balloon artist. Just a face painter.
"I'm still adjusting my own idea of what a face painter is," she said.
The founder of a charity focused on feeding needy families is charged with money laundering, filing false tax returns and theft of more than $183,000 in donations.
USA Harvest founder Hugh "Stan" Curtis faces seven criminal charges, including mail fraud, theft, money laundering and tax fraud. The non-profit moves food from those who have too much to those who have too little.
Curtis founded Kentucky Harvest in 1987, which led to the founding of USA Harvest, a national organization, just two years later.

Citation: Webber III, C.L., Taylor, M.J., Brandenberger, L.P., Shrefler, J.W., Wells, L.K., Shannon, D.K. 2008. Impact of precision applications of ammonium nonanoate on weed control efficacy [abstract]. International Conference on Precision Agriculture, July 20-23, 2008, Denver, Colorado. Paper No. 441. p. 46. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Many factors contribute to the successful application of herbicides, including the herbicide's mode of action, nozzle selection, application rate, application volume, weed species and weed maturity. The precision application of herbicides is especially important to commercial vegetable producers because of the limited number of herbicides available and the potential for crop injury. Weed control in organic vegetable production faces even greater challenges due to its dependence on cultural weed control methods rather than herbicides. Racer (ammonium nonanoate) is a contact herbicide labeled for non-food use, and efforts are currently underway to label it as a bio-herbicide for organically grown food crops. As a contact herbicide, the precise application of the chemical will increase weed control efficacy while reducing crop injury. The objective of this study was to investigate different nozzles, rates of active ingredients, and application volume for control of endemic weed populations. The study was completed at the Oklahoma State University Vegetable Research station in Bixby, Oklahoma. Treatments included two nozzle types operated at recommended nozzle pressures (TeeJet XR8003 and TeeJet XR8005), three application rates of Racer (9.0, 12.6, and 16.2 kg ai/ha), and two application volumes (327 and 654 L/ha) for a total of 12 treatments. In general, Racer proved to be an effective contact herbicide for controlling the three weed species that were included in the study. The two higher rates of Racer (12.6 and 16.2 kg ai/ha) were more effective than the 9.0 kg ai/ha rate, although even the low rate resulted in higher levels of weed control than the untreated check. It appears that the overall spray application rate of 654 L/ha probably diluted the active ingredient enough to reduce its effectiveness. Although these preliminary results indicate that the 12.6 and 16.2 kg ai/ha herbicide rates applied at an application volume of 327 L/ha provided the best weed control, the research will be repeated to determine the consistency of the results.

Thanksgiving "Grey Thursday Law" in Watchung Forces Walmart to Close for Two Hours [POLL]
It's times like this when I think that Bergen County may have it right in maintaining in place blue laws forbidding most merchants to open their doors on Sunday.
With the rising number of Black Friday sales beginning late Thanksgiving evening, I want to know if you'd be in favor of your town banning Black Friday sales to start early.
Apparently that's what Watchung is doing this year in response to an issue that had cropped up with a local Walmart last year.
According to this report, crowd control is at the heart of the issue.
Too many people in the store waiting for the sales to begin creating a safety problem.
In response to issues at a local Walmart store last year, all retailers in the borough will have to limit pre-Black Friday sales and close their doors at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
The two-hour retail ban, adopted by the borough council on Nov. 8, will be "strongly enforced," according to Tom Atkins, borough administrator.
The council unanimously adopted the ban for fear of customer safety and "unsafe conditions" during Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping, according to the ordinance putting the ban in effect.
Last year, the borough's Walmart store on Route 22 was open 24-hours and had issues of overcrowding because of the special sales, according to Watchung Police Chief Tim Wenzel.
"At least for this year, the town council is forcing them to close the stores, so the stores can empty and people can line up," he said.
Wenzel said he hopes the stores announce to their customers throughout the day on Thanksgiving that they will be closing for two hours at night, so people don't start lining up before midnight.
"These people go crazy. It's unbelievable," he said.
Yes, it's true, they do go crazy…as we've already seen at one Walmart in 2008 in Valley Stream, Long Island where one shopper was trampled to death!
But it would seem the fact that police want shoppers to leave the store in order to "line up" would only cause more confusion, and possibly lead to the same scenario that lead to the 2008 incident. I think it's better just to let the shoppers stay in the store for those couple of hours.
Actually it may seem better still to just order stores to close entirely on Thanksgiving, but that's my own personal belief Personally I think it's "homeless" to shop on the night of Thanksgiving. It's like the holiday doesn't exist except to appeal to merchandising. But far be it from me to mandate the government intervene in the affairs of commerce.
I ask you, would you be in favor of towns banning stores from opening early on Thanksgiving evening? Leave your opinions below.

TNRTB Archive - Retained for reference information
Biologists have discovered a new design feature for shrimp. They found that the peacock mantis shrimp possesses the fastest appendicular striker (quickest arm) in the animal kingdom. This striker is like a crossbow. It possesses a ratchet device that allows the shrimp's muscles to slowly stretch a powerful paraboloid spring to maximum tension. The shrimp can suddenly release that tension to deliver a lightning-quick hammer blow 9,000 times the force of gravity. Such an amazing structure points to a supernatural Creator.

On track to a new railway station
01/08/2013 , 10:46 AM by Jonathan Morrell
We hear plenty about Perth's growing population and how people are living many kilometres away from where they're working. The challenge is and will be in the future, how do we get from home to work without getting caught in traffic delays?
The answer would seem to be in public transport. As part of this strategy, the latest section of rail line to the northern suburbs is taking shape. The new station at Butler is scheduled to open before the end of 2014. But what does it take to bring the railway and a station to a new community? I have been to Butler to see how things are going.

Lucky Bunny
Jill Dawson
when in stock
As soon as this book is back in stock we will send you an email.
Lovereading view...
The blurb on this book says that it is difficult not to think of it as an autobiography, and that is exactly how it reads. It is a straightforward life story, sad, funny, harrowing, powerful and triumphant, and what a life for it is one spent in crime. This is London in the post second world war decades, full of incident, drama, love and great characters, especially our protagonist Queenie. Here is a lady with amazing strength and spirit and a huge sense of self-preservation living in a fascinating period brought vividly to life in an outstanding book. You've got to read it.
If you like Jill Dawson you might also like to read books by Louise Welsh, Lionel Shriver and Stef Penney.
Lucky Bunny by Jill Dawson
'Crime's a man's business. So they say. Who was that small figure then, slender enough to trot along the moonlit track, swift and low, virtually invisible? Who was it that covered the green signal with a glove to stop the train, while the two others took care of the driver and his mate? Could it have been one Queenie Dove, survivor of the Depression and the Blitz, not to mention any number of scrapes with the law?' Queenie Dove is a self-proclaimed genius when it comes to thieving and escape. Daring, clever and sexy, she ducked and dived through the streets of London from the East End through Soho to Mayfair, graduating from childhood shop-lifting to more glamorous crimes in the post-war decades. So was she wicked through and through, or more sinned against than sinning? Here she tells a vivacious tale of trickery and adventure, but one with more pain and heartbreak than its heroine cares to admit. Yes, luck often favoured her, but that is only part of the story.
'Gloriously enjoyable...Queenie bursts out of these pages, longing for life, as we are drawn into her world by Dawson's terse, electric prose. I've seldom read a novel with such a sense of excitement.'
Philip Hoare, Sunday Telegraph
'Jill Dawson is one of those writers so gifted and assured you relax just five words in...heroine Queenie is no angel. But she's resourceful, funny, brave and beautiful. You're on her side from that fifth word'
Wendy Holden, Daily Mail
'A treat to read'
John Self, Guardian
'Dawson, as ever, delves deep into her subject matter, combining fast-paced narrative with astute, piercing reflection on more complex matters'
Leyla Sanai, Independent on Sunday
'She leaves us with some unforgettable images...It is admirable, too, for the way its fizzing narrative is grounded in a cool-eyed awareness of the social and sexual injustices of the mid-20th century' -- Maggie Gee, Independent
'Far more than just crime caper. An award winning poet, Dawson shrewdly uses her heroine's undeniably clever but poorly educated point of view to evocative and sometimes lyrical effect, the author's use of language pure, simple and shimmering.' -- The Scotsman
'Heart-rippingly painful and joyously playful. A major prize-winning contender.'
Sainsbury's magazine
'Pacy and atmospheric, this tale of a girl attempting to dictate her own destiny is wickedly good'
Eithne Farry, Marie Claire
'Despite its surface thrills and spills and Krays era glamour, Lucky Bunny is a novel of great concern, human sympathy and seriousness. It is a novel of ideas and society, disguised as a romp...In the end I understood and admired Queenie Dove - and admired Jill Dawson, too, for creating something so fine from such brutish elements.'

Earlier we saw 'Six Developments About Jason Todd from RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #0.' You probably already read them. It turns out there's one more. It's pretty big. I don't know how I missed it. I debated about updating the previous post but this is pretty big and it shouldn't be missed.
Check out the scene where Jason's dad was arrested.
Do you see it. It's RIGHT THERE. Check out Jason's mom.
SHE'S PREGNANT! Jason has a sibling? Where did this come from? Where is the sibling now? There's no way this is a slip. Perhaps this is a tease for something coming up. There was never any mention of Jason having a sibling before. This is a pretty big change.
Any thoughts or theories?

An examination of Canadian Blood Services' contentious MSM ban
Gary Musson
I cannot donate blood.
I am a registered organ donor, my DNA is available worldwide for potential stem cell and bone marrow matches, but while those two are potential lifesavers in themselves, they aren't quite as in demand or as freely available as blood is.
No, it's not because of the piercing I had a few weeks ago (which would still only result in a temporary deferral of six months). Instead, being a queer-identified individual, Canadian Blood Services deems my blood (and lifestyle, apparently) as "high risk," and therefore ineligible for donation. I guess getting a few blowjobs from a couple of guys is dangerous business.
So here's the lowdown: Canadian Blood Services has a fairly controversial, yet somewhat unknown, policy. As CBS puts it, it indefinitely defers (bans) men who have sex with men from donating blood.
I won't get into the distinction between men who have sex with men (MSM) and the various sexualities that exist out there, but for the males out there who have donated blood, you have likely answered the question "Have you had sex with a man, even one time since 1977?" with a bold, italicized, double-underlined "no." Yet that single question is the defining factor for me, as well as all other queer/gay/MSM/whatever-they-want-to-call-themselves individuals in deeming their ineligibility to donate blood.
And while some may be taken aback when asked, "what do you define as sex?" it turns out that just about anything goes: anal, oral, handjobs, and more. Any exchange of sexual fluids between two men can mark them as indefinitely ineligible. Even not waiting the suggested half-hour after brushing your teeth to go down on someone significantly increases your risk of contracting an STI. Sorry guys.
Angie Gaddy, a spokesperson for Canadian Blood Services, put it delicately, "we know that MSM does not necessarily refer to all homosexual men. The way that we define it is 'a man who has had sex with another man, even once' and is considered indefinitely deferred."
But before we get into the brouhaha about the current policy, let's take a stroll down history lane to 1959. This was the year of the first known case of HIV in a human. This individual died in the Congo. A year later, a variant known as HIV-2 was found in West Africa. Flash forward to 1966. It was said that HIV made its first landing in the Americas by infecting a single person in Haiti. The virus then made its appearance in the United States in 1968. At this point, you could begin to see a pattern of the rapid spread of this virus, yet knowledge surrounding the virus was not widespread.
It was not until the '80s when scientists discovered the link between HIV and AIDS. AIDS is the big killer and what some think is the main concern. While HIV is the precursor to AIDS, scientists have yet to figure out what exactly causes HIV to turn into AIDS. Someone who tests positive for HIV can theoretically lead a reasonably healthy life and never succumb to the slow, painful death that AIDS can bring.
On October 31, 1980, Gaëtan Dugas, a gay Canadian flight attendant, was deemed the first point of contact for AIDS due to his connection to many early cases in the United States. Some have correlated this to his frequent visits to bathhouses in New York City. Three months later, on January 15th, 1981, Nick Rock became the first known AIDS death in New York City, and by the end of the year, 121 people had died from the disease. 1982 is marked as the first known AIDS case in Canada, as well as the first infection in a baby from a blood transfusion.
As more research was done on the disease, it became apparent that a significant number of cases were found in gay men. In the late 1970s, concern grew that with the increase of HIV and Hepatitis C infections from high-risk populations (including the MSM community), inadequately screened blood could enter the system and further spread the disease. Something had to be done.
Enter the deferral policy. By eliminating certain high-risk groups, like the MSM community, the policy lowered the risk of HIV entering the system and freed up resources to ensure that blood entering the system was free of pathogens and available for use. Pamphlets began circulating in 1983 outlining the risks of HIV, in the hope that donors would self-exclude themselves from donating. It was only two years later, in 1985, when thousands of Canadians became infected with HIV from tainted blood (a scandal also known as known as the Krever Inquiry) that the Canadian Red Cross Society was pushed into enacting the policy.
It is also worth noting that the Red Cross, which was responsible for collecting blood donations at the time, instituted the policy. Canadian Blood Services was not created until 1998, and took over much of the work of the Red Cross.
But that was then, and this is now. It has been over 30 years since the outbreak, and much research has been put into detecting, treating, and finding a cure for HIV/AIDS. While every illness has a latency period before being detected, the window for HIV/AIDS shrank from three-to-six months to as little as two weeks.
Still, due to the nature of the disease, Canadian Blood Services does not feel comfortable with this latency period.
"Despite sophistication, no test is perfect. There is still a window period of about one to two weeks in which a person could have been infected with HIV that may not test positive," Gaddy explains.
"And the reason that we have this deferral is based on public health data and scientific data we have now. It shows that the MSM population has the largest population of HIV cases. We do indefinitely defer other individuals of high risk categories, but for us, it has to do with the scientific data right now that is out there, that shows us the risk to the blood supply system."
The other high-risk categories Gaddy speaks of include people who have lived in certain areas of Africa, who may have been exposed to a new strain of HIV. If you have spent three or more months in the United Kingdom or France between January 1980 and December 31, 1996, or spent five or more years living in Western Europe, the UK, or France since January 1980, you are also indefinitely deferred. The same also applies if you have received a blood transfusion while living in the same areas since 1980. Diabetes patients are also deferred, as are those who test as a false positive.
Mike Snoddon, president of the Lakehead University Student Union, questions the logic behind that decision-making process.
"When you look at those statistics, you're like, 'alright, you're actively looking for statistics that you're reporting on. However, what are the other statistics saying?' What are we saying about straight men and women who are, in my thoughts, more promiscuous that any gay man I know, and where are those statistics?"
His personal stance, as well as that of the union, is "with the technology that is available now, the [ban] is one that isn't needed. The student union opposes Canadian Blood Services within any LUSU space until the [ban] is changed."
Though it isn't just HIV they test for. Every single unit of blood that is donated goes though the NAT (nucleic acid testing) process, which includes blood group and antibody testing and testing for syphilis, hepatitis B and C, West Nile virus, Chagas disease, human T-lymphotropic virus 1 and 2, and HIV. Any units testing positive for these diseases are automatically rejected.
Despite the continued backlash from the public and LGBTQ community, Canadian Blood Services says they have been moving forward in attempting to reverse this policy. In 2008, they released a joint research opportunity with the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR), making available a $500,000 research grant for any researchers or scientists willing to tackle assessing the potential risks of changing the policy. The funds must be spent within Canada. Three areas the grant is to focus on is donor deferral strategies and the risk of blood-borne diseases, policy development and social aspects of blood system risk, and emerging pathogens in specific populations.
To date, no researchers have made use of the funds.
In the same year they began a working group consisting of 16 LGBTQ organizations across the country to serve as a resource to help educate CBS on the issues surrounding the community and promote research.
Some would say that the overall impact of the ban is negligible compared to the overall picture. And CBS' reliance on statistics would confirm this idea. Out of the nearly 150,000 deferrals in 2010, only four per cent of them were indefinite. Within the four per cent, HIV/AIDS risk only ranked in fourth (at 0.41%), while vCJD (a human form of Mad Cow disease) was first (at 0.6%).
Even then, the main issue opponents have is the lumping of individuals into one broad category. While the statistics have shown that the MSM population is at considerable risk for contracting HIV, this does not mean that the community on the whole is a cesspool of rampant unprotected sex and disease. The main reason HIV spread so fast within the MSM community was the sheer lack of knowledge and technology available at the time for screening, prevention, and care. No one really knew about it, nor did they know which precautions to take.
To those who can say that MSM individuals hell-bent on donating can simply lie, they very well can. At no point during the entire donation process are donors forced to divulge sensitive information about themselves. However, opponents will argue that there is no justified reason an individual who is clean and is regularly tested should be forced to hide something that should be a non-issue. If we are raised in a society that touts equality, regardless of sex, gender, race, and orientation, then why is this deferral in place? Many, including myself, say it is discriminatory.
What CBS has to say on this matter is "we take any kind of risk to the blood supply system very seriously. The [Record of Donation] questionnaire is our first line of defense and it is very important that people assert this. The patient bears 100 per cent of the risk of someone lying."
More recently, the case of Kyle Freeman vs. Canadian Blood Services wrapped up, in which Freeman lied about his sexuality and donated blood for a number of years. Justice Catharine Aitken ruled the ban was not discriminatory, siding with the CBS's views that "it is based on health and safety considerations; namely, the prevalence of HIV/AIDS and other blood-borne, sexually transmitted pathogens in the [men who have sex with men] populations, and the corresponding risk this creates for the safety of the blood supply system." The court also ruled the CBS is not a government agency and is not covered under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and dismissed a counterclaim filed by Freeman.
So yes, CBS does say they are working forward with trying to change this policy, but are they really moving at an appropriate pace relative to the issue? Rather than approaching scientists about research proposals, the CBS and CIHR have allowed the grant to sit stagnant. The requirement that the funding only be spent in Canada plays a large role in limiting the market of available research teams. Suggestions of simply reducing the deferral period have been nixed under the notion that such a period would still display tokenism toward other communities (why should a gay monogamous couple remain celibate for a year just to donate blood?).
Perhaps this reluctance to change is based on the restrictions CBS has mandated by Health Canada. In an email, Health Canada explained, "As the regulator of Canada's Blood System, Health Canada will not approve changes to blood operations, which will increase risk."
The email continues, "As such, Canada has one of the safest blood systems in the world due to its strict licensing, inspection, and surveillance requirements."
In writing this article, I have developed a newfound ambivalence on the issue, albeit one tinged with frustration. While the statistics and risk analysis don't necessarily lie (though they can most certainly be misrepresented) I still do not understand why I cannot join in with the majority of everyone else in saving lives. My day-to-day life does not include any high-risk activities (at least when it comes to blood) and I take every precaution necessary when it comes to protecting my sex life. Aside from my preferences, I am no different than any other person. On the other hand, should we be focusing so much of our efforts in forcing CBS to change, or should our efforts also be directed at Health Canada?
I do want to make it abundantly clear: I am in no way trying to demonize Canadian Blood Services. While I, alongside the LGBTQ community, may not agree with the policy, the work CBS does significantly improves the lives of those who do truly need it. I strongly encourage everyone that is eligible to take some time out of their schedule and to donate blood and save some lives and not boycott the organization. It is more than possible to push for change while contributing to a greater cause.
For those looking to get involved, the Canadian Federation of Students has a nationwide End the Ban campaign online at endtheban.cfs-fcee.ca/en. A petition circulated by LUSU at the start of the year garnered 85 signatures, which to Snoddon indicated there was interest by the student body in pushing this issue further. He hopes to launch a more active campaign in the upcoming 2011/2012 year.
As Snoddon said, "I think the [CBS] on the whole needs to look at where it's putting up its defenses, because they are very soon going to tread into something that is much, much worse than 'don't ask, don't tell.'"

text: here we go again, beating up on the 25 acp. many mango season ago, back in the 70's/80's i carries a beretta 950 jetfire as my "bug" on the job. during that time there was no such a thing as a pocket gun. not like it is today with the new pocket rockets. i have seen first hand what a 25 acp can do. all the bad guys and dirt bags carried them so i got first hand views of what they can do. i have seen one shot kills with the 25 acp. i have seen what several hits from a 25 acp can do,, make a mess. is the 25 acp the best gun to carry? hard to say now with the other pocket rockets on the market. but getting back to the ammo question. i carried a fmj ammo that had a bb in the tip. it was a power ball type of ammo. it would go through a 1/2 inch plywood plus with no troubles. now they have better ammo for the 25 acp. remember you are not going to be in a tv/movie gun fight. you need a gun that you will carry on your person at all times, a gun that will fire a full mag as fast as you pull the trigger without problems. and one reload that you can fit in your pocket.

And Cruz's victory coincides with something conservatives should celebrate, the centennial of the 20th century's most important intra-party struggle. By preventing former President Theodore Roosevelt from capturing the 1912 Republican presidential nomination from President William Howard Taft, the GOP deliberately doomed its chances for holding the presidency but kept its commitment to the Constitution.

- Olympics are gold for NBC
- August 3, 2012
- Given NBC's long history of low ratings, you have to imagine there are times when network executives wished they could broadcast football every night. For at least two years now, NFL coverage has offered the Peacock Network its only consistent chance to be on top.

If you are single, you enjoy relating on an individual level. If you are attached, you have great hope for your relationship.

Full of southwestern charm, Dallas is one of the most popular cities in Texas and an ultimate destination spot for its visitors. While fabulous art museums and incomparable, live music venues may have prompted your visit to Dallas, or your decision to live there, its refined community may be reason enough for you to stay. Among the city's leading medical professionals, cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons are known to help assist your experience with liposuction and plastic surgery. Even as many men and women attempt to lose weight through diet and exercise, some areas of the body can remain unaffected. Therefore, the surgical procedure of liposuction – or "suction-assisted lipectomy" – is designed to help remove unwanted fat deposits from specific areas of the body.
Women commonly prefer liposuction on their hips, thighs, and stomach, and men desire this procedure to focus on their waist, under the chin, and to help reduce enlarged breasts, a condition called "gynecomastia." The best candidates for liposuction are men and women who are of relatively normal weight, physically healthy, and psychologically stable. In order to maintain realistic expectations, you should understand that liposuction is not meant to substitute weight reduction.
To find a doctor in Dallas to perform liposuction, continue searching on PlasticSurgery.com. We have profiles of plastic surgeons on our site, conveniently featured with contact information.

To all you parents of 4 legged babies please take the time to write a diary for them because I put it off all this time and now I have to write about my Jericho that is no longer with us.
Jericho was born January 2, 2004 and left us on December 13, 2005. I done all I could to keep him here with us but it was too late. On this day he was playing with his 4 legged brother A.J. while I was getting ready for work, I could hear them running and growling like they do when I heard a yelp and it suddenly became quiet. I went to the livingroom to see which one was "telling" on the other! But this time I saw my Jericho laying in the floor, not moving. I rushed to his side and he was trying so hard to breathe. I was going to do mouth to mouth on him but when I put my hand under his neck he jerked and acted like it hurt him. My sister arrived and we wrapped him in a blanket and took him to the vet (only minutes away) but it was too late. It seems like while playing with A.J. he must have fell or got knocked off the chair and broke his neck. The vet was surprised because he looked soo healthy and was so young. We beleive he must have landed wrong or something.
For several days after his brother, A.J., was clinging to us and was lost without his big brother. I explained to him that it was an accident and not his fault.
Jericho always got under the blankets at night and kept his Daddys feet warm. Our first night was really hard, not just for Mom and Dad but also for A.J. He got under the blankets looking for him.
I will write more about Jericho's life, but for now I wanted to remind everyone to take the time now to write a diary for your pet.
I will work on A.J.'s as soon as I can and also add to Jericho's because he was one smart pug. He would ring a bell that I put on the door to let me know he needed to go out to "take care of business"
I must end this diary now and I want to do it by saying to Jericho...........
We LOVE you JarJar and miss you each day.
You will be in our hearts forever.
All our Love,
Your 2 legged Family, Mom, Dad, Joseph and Sara and your 4 legged siblings, A.J. and Kipper

The Company is filing the Form 15 to terminate the registration under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act of both the Company's common stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), and the preferred stock purchase rights attached to the Common Stock. The Company is also filing the Form 15 to notify the SEC of the suspension of the Company's periodic reporting obligation under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as to its fiscal year beginning October 1, 2012, as of which date the Company had fewer than 300 security holders of record. The Company is not obligated to and will not file current and periodic reports with the SEC for its current fiscal year and does not expect to be obligated to do so in any subsequent fiscal year, but the Company is obligated to file an Annual Report on Form 10-K for its previous fiscal year, which ended September 30, 2012. The Company expects to file that Annual Report on December 14, 2012. The Company previously filed a Certificate of Dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State (the "Dissolution Filing") that became effective as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, September 21, 2012.

We want to make it easy to extract features from precise, current satellite imagery and add them to your map in iD. Feature extraction has been a topic in GIS for decades, but has never been intuitive enough to empower collaborative efforts like OpenStreetMap.
So we're working on a simplified, smarter interface that makes extraction as easy as the lasso tool in Photoshop. It works as a plugin for the iD editor, and will also be reusable for other projects.

Well, it's Friday and a pretty fun weekend around Cincinnati, particularly with a big Reds-Braves weekend showdown between first-place teams. There is a Homer Bailey bobblehead giveaway on Saturday. You think they changed his uniform to the Louisville Bats?
Anyway, hope everyone enjoys their days off. Here are some links to get you going in the right direction.
--- Tony Pike opens camp as the fourth-string quarterback in Carolina. The Charlotte Observer has this story about his first days. It's a little fluffy, but a look into what's going on with him, nonetheless.
The best part is the writer asks him if he has ever been fourth-string quarterback obviously expecting a crazy reaction of no or some early age and Pike responds with, "Yeah, before my junior year."
Still hard to believe only three years ago, Pike was mired in complete obscurity on the Bearcats roster.
--- Mardy Gilyard is his normal outgoing self in St. Louis. At least one writer is already learning what a gem he can be in an interview. The part about Gilyard is at the bottom of this story.
I will be keeping an eye on St. Louis preseason games on NFL Network to keep an eye on Gilyard, particulary as a returner. At the very least, playing for St. Louis, he should get plenty of touches there.
--- A reader sent in a question regarding Big East expansion -- the topic that won't die -- and I can tell you that we will hear plenty about the BE brass' plans for dealing with future expansion at the media days early next week.
Commissioner John Marinatto will speak and if 35 percent of what he says isn't about expansion-related issues, I would be pretty shocked.
I will not be at the clambake, but of course you can follow all the action through Brian Bennett's Big East blog. BB has a look at some of the other storylines to follow over the two days.
--- At the paper I last worked at, I became pretty close to Dontonio Wingfield, who was from the city and one of the most galvanizing sports figures in its history. Wingfield has really turned his life around after some bad decisions and bad breaks curtailed his basketball career. He was running a youth basketball program and spent nearly every hour of his day trying to help kids not make the same mistakes he did.
Anyway, apparently he was arrested earlier this month, but claims he had nothing to do with drug charges filed against him. I would find it hard to believe Wingfield is lying. I certainly hope I'm correct.
--- Syracuse's biggest threat may be returning to the team soon after being suspended. Somehow, I don't see the rest of the Big East petitioning to switch the Orange off of the homecoming game just yet.
--- For UC to beat Oklahoma they will have to find a way to slow DeMarco Murray. I'm still not sure how that is going to happen, particularly when his head coach is putting him in the same breath with Adrian Peterson.
--- The embarrassing details playing out around Rick Pitino's trial are beginning to mount and always off-base Jay Marriotti thinks Pitino should resign. Not saying anything he did was moral or should even be condoned, but he is still a victim here and if the school stood by him in the beginning that stance shouldn't change now.
--- Villanova may be losing Scottie Reynolds and Reggie Redding, but they are plenty upbeat about their potential to win the Big East.

#UnblockBikeLanes: New Hashtag Helps Identify Problem Spots for Cyclists
A few weeks ago, we worked with our friends at the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP) to explain the importance of bike lanes in our city. We learned a lot from the team at BCGP—including that the cycling community in Philadelphia would love a way to talk directly to the PPA when they see cars parked in bike lanes.
"The perception is that there is parking occurring in bike lanes kind of wantonly and without repercussions," said Sarah Clark Stuart, policy director of the BCGP. "It would help if people could feel like they could report something and the PPA could take it seriously."
That made a lot of sense to us so we put our heads together and came up with a plan.
If you're a cyclist and you notice a car parked in a bike lane, tweet us with the location and use the hashtag #unblockbikelanes.
We'll keep close watch of this hashtag to help us identify chronic problem areas throughout the city and make plans for the future. While we can't promise that enforcement can be dispatched for every single tweet we receive—the logistics of that are just too complicated since cars often move before our parking enforcement officers can get to them—we are committed to working closely with the cycling community on this issue.
"Bike lanes are an important part of the traffic landscape in Philadelphia," says PPA Senior Administrator Sue Cornell. "We heard what the BCGP had to say and we want to know where these problem spots are so we can know how to best serve the city."
Don't forget to follow the PPA on Twitter at @PhilaParking!

: Do I have to pay salon prices for the best products?
Hey ladies!
So I need help finding a good cowash. I have been CG for two months. I have 2c/3a hair, medium length, low porosity and med/thick (I think).
Currently, I am using DevaCurl No poo and one condition. My hair immediately feels moisturized and cleansed with this duo. But they cost so much! I wanted to find a cheaper cowash to use between washes. I bought tresemme naturals co dish but my hair doesn't seem to react as well as it does to the DC. It gets tangled with Tresemme and I have to leave it in for 5 min before I can finger comb out the tangles. Even then it still feels "dirty". Also with DC I can go 3/4 days without washing again. But the following day after Tresemme my scalp is itchy and greasy.
Does anyone know if there is a better product to work with my hair properties? And that won't cost me half a paycheck.
I was thinking of trying the Shea moisture line but my target has been running out quickly. Also, I am waiting to finish my current bottle.
Thanks for the help!!

UP COFFEE! When You've Had Enough
Dave here. Question: Were you jittery on too much coffee half way through the show this morning? Then this might be just perfect for you...
The "Up Coffee" app is now available as a free app for your smart phone or tablet. And it's custom designed just for you, to figure out how much caffeine you can handle before you get all wired, and when you cut yourself off before bedtime.
First download the app, then fill out a short form that asks your sex, weight, height, how sensitive you are to caffeine and your regular bedtime. When you have a cup of coffee, tea or energy drink, just type it into your app. It will tell you if you're close to getting wired and how much time you'll need before you're able to get a good night's sleep.
The science behind this thing is provided by experts who've studied caffeine intake and how it affects your body. There's also an Up wristband which tracks how your eat, sleep and move and you can sync it with "Up."
Worth a try? What do you think?
"Up Coffee" the app...ready now for download. DaveT

PSFK SAN FRANCISCO 2013: The Future Of Retail
Thursday, November 21, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM (PST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
At PSFK SAN FRANCISCO, the team behind PSFK's Future of Retail 2014 Report will shine a light to reveal the exciting possibilities developing for brands and retailers. The PSFK Labs study has found that mobile and social have caused seismic shifts in shopper behavior, empowering them to shop on their own terms and interact with retailers and brands in entirely new ways. Business will witness the reverberations of these massive drivers of change over the coming years as shopper-retailer-brand relationships and the multichannel shopping experience continue to evolve.
On the morning of the event, PSFK Labs will present key innovators who are exploring the key themes in our study. The speakers will share actionable insights that highlight the impact of the findings and suggest approaches to take advantage of them.
Speakers include:
- Bradley Voytek of Uber - analyzing customer data to help pioneer a new level of bespoke service.
- Tim Voegele-Downing of Avery Dennison - developing a new retail operating system based on smart labels.
- Chris Bennett of Soldsie - offering instant purchase opportunities on diverse channels including Facebook.
- Carrie Whitehead, Zappos Labs - experimenting with omni-retail.
- Laura Jones, Google Shopping - developing new multi-platform shopping experiences.
- Brian Williamson of Foursquare - changing the way retail promotions are delivered with a mix of location and context.
- Michael Boeke of Braintree - redefining transaction dynamics across social and mobile.
- Tim Weingarten & Sara Brooks of The Hunt - engaging community to drive brand loyalty.
Look out for possible speaker announcements from other leading companies pioneering innovation in retail.
Who Should Attend
Anyone involved in the creation of the retail experience online, on mobile and in-store: retailers, brands, their agencies, technology companies and service providers.
About PSFK's Future Of Retail 2014 Report
In the fourth volume of the Future of Retail report, the PSFK Labs team will examine how real-time access to information and analytics is changing the face of modern retail for both shoppers and brands. Alongside data as the foundation for decision making and exchange in the multichannel marketplace, we will look at how digital technologies are impacting the purchase path and the new opportunities they create. With access to an entirely new set of tools for supporting both shoppers and staff, retailers and brands now have the ability to deliver more convenient and efficient transactions, leaving time to focus on providing meaningful value to their customers online, on mobile and in-store. For their participation, shoppers can expect a higher level of customer care and more personalized shopping experiences that build greater loyalty over time.

Lena Dunham Walks Red Carpet at 2014 Golden Globes
Posted on January 13, 2014
Lena Dunham was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role as the lead actress in her HBO hit Girls. Lena chose a bright yellow mermaid gown by Zac Posen for the evening. On the red carpet, she told Ryan Seacrest that she had been "starving for days" to fit into the dress. She must be doing Atkins, as she said right before the ceremony she ate a "patty of thick hamburger meat, jst like a cave man." Actually, that sounds more like the Paleo diet, now that we think of it. Lena accessorized with a lovely diamond necklace and diamond earrings by Harry Winston.
