Super cute shoes! Great quality and fit perfectly!
I absolutely LOVE these platform sandals-had to get 2 colors because they're now my favorite shoe! Fast shipping and amazing quality——will definitely order again!
I love their clothes! They are as advertised, and fit true to size. I am a teacher and get compliments anytime I wear a Lucy Avenue item 💗
This top fit true to size and it was sooo flattering. The perfect suit! I would definitely recommend!
I saw this shirt and I knew I needed it. I ordered it and, as usual, it came super fast! I tried it on and I was in love. It's a longer fitting tshirt and it is super soft! I will definitely be wearing this shirt A TON in the future!
I got these for my daughter and they are super cute and fit true to size
Got the black and the white. Great fit. Flattering. I could've probably done a medium or a large but I sized up (I'm 36D and a size medium shirt usually). Works well for this postpartum momma!
I ordered a large. I'm a 36D and usually a size medium shirt. I probably could've gone with a medium but I like the looser fit on my postpartum body. It's so good. I absolutely love it.
True to size fit and flattering.
I really enjoy my cute and flirty shirt I got from here!
I love my new sandals. They are very pretty and comfortable. True to size.
These shoes are awesome. They are very cute and fit well for my wider foot. I didn't have to go up a size of anything.
Soft & comfy, fits true to size, and just all around a great top! I plan to wear this to work with dress pants but also out and about with my friends. Very versatile!
Rosalie Leopard Pleated Skirt Camel
I have ordered from OTHER boutiques and always have issues with the swimsuits on how they fit. SO, I was skeptical about ordering from Lucy. However, I was completely SATISFIED!! The fit of the Color Block Kauai swimsuit in pink is indescribable! It's comfy, it's elegant, it's classy, and is ACTUALLY true to size. I plan to buy more! 5 Stars completely!!
Was ok
Osmond Stitch Detailed Flats Stone
I purchased three pair of shoes for spring and truly love them.
I purchased this for my 6 year old who wears a size 6 in everything! She could barely get it on and then it was so tight and short. Definitely size up if you purchase
I just found this site a few weeks ago and I was a little hesitant about ordering but I'm so glad I did. These sandals are the cutest and they're true to size. (7.5 for me). I have sorta wide feet but I can wear medium width shoes and these are perfect. I want more! ❤❤
Sandals are super comfy & true to size!! Will definitely order again!!
Im rather busty, and this top covers it all, and its super cute!
These are the cutest shoes ever!! They are true to size and super comfy :)
I never really online shop, I prefer to be able to try stuff on and make sure everything fits right. With free shipping and returns, Lucy Avenue allows me to do just that! My stuff came quickly and I was going to return a few things that didn't fit - the return process was super easy - but I ended up giving all of the stuff to my mother cause it was all too cute to not go to use!!
At no fault of Lucy Avenue, my swimming suit that I ordered, never made it to me. USPS says it was delivered however, i never received it. When I reached out to Lucy Avenue, they kindly provided me with a replacement. I received that package promptly and was SO HAPPY that it fit perfectly, as described. The material is comfortable.
Love love LOVE the shirt I bought!!
Love my two piece emerald green leopard suit! The knot detail is my fave. True high waist and almost meets the bikini top, which is exactly what i wanted! So fun, amazing quality, great fit! (was slightly big in the strap length, but I'm short so that's not abnormal for me. Easy fix though!) I'm typically a size 10, B cup, 5'4" and got a Large and was very pleased.
I loved my purchases and had no problem at all! My items shipped very quickly too. I'm sure I will be back for some more shopping soon. 💓
Fit and material of the shirt are fabulous and the earrings are perfect to top off so many outfits 🥰
Super cute shoes- excited to wear them out! So far bravery comfy and perfect for spring- summer weather.

Pretty sweater. Definitely not true to size. I am a M. Ordered a M and it's very large.

I love my new cheetah print swimsuit!! I wear a size 12 but the L was kinda tight so my next order I got a XL and I liked the way it fitted better. Thanks!
Quick shipping, quality product, and the shoes fit like a dream. I can't wait until I can wear them!
I have somewhat wide feet so I went up a half size, and I'm glad I did. The elastic on the top of the shoe makes this wedge amazing for any shape of foot. I got the black pair to wear dressy or casual and I will definitely consider more colors for summer! For being a wedge, these are very comfortable also! Highly recommend.
The top is really comfy, I almost wish I would have ordered a size smaller just to have a little bit more support, but the fabric is great quality and looks exactly as pictured. Shipping time was quick and it's super flattering!
I was always skeptical about online shopping and online boutiques. I stumbled across their website one night and NEEDED this cheetah cardigan, well let's just say my wardrobe is now half Lucy Avenue! Everything is true to size you name it I have it shirts, cardigans, dresses, pants, shoes and a swimsuit. I'm hooked and can't look away!!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The organizers of a Michael Jackson tribute concert have rescinded an offer to have KISS perform at the troubled show planned in Wales later this year.
Global Live Events announced Tuesday the band would no longer perform after fans, media and the singer's estate noted bassist Gene Simmons has said in recent years that he was convinced Jackson molested children.
Jackson was acquitted of molestation charges after a 2005 trial in California.
It is the latest stumble for a show that is endorsed by Jackson's mother and several siblings but is opposed by brothers Jermaine and Randy. Fans have protested ticket prices, the lineup and the show's location since the show was announced last month.
KISS' departure leaves Smokey Robinson, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green as the show's superstars.

Women are almost twice as likely as men to report high or overwhelming levels of financial stress, according to research from Financial Finesse.
Furthermore, mothers between 30 and 44 and with incomes under $60,000 were nine times more likely to face high levels of stress than men between 55 and 64 without minor children and who had an income above $100,000.
Financial Finesse found that having young children appears to lead to higher stress over all. Almost twice the percentage of workers with children under 18 reported overwhelming stress as those without children.
While certain demographics report high levels of stress, overall stress has been trending down, falling significantly from 32% in 2010 to 18% in 2012. For the first quarter of 2013, 16% of employees reported stress levels that were high or overwhelming. Seventeen percent said they had no financial stress at all.
More vulnerable employees can end up costing their employers due to health issues commonly associated with high levels of stress: anxiety, depression and even heart attacks, according to an AOL/Associated Press poll. Financial Finesse referred to data from a 2010 Federal Reserve study that found the average cost of lost productivity is $5,000 per year.
Liz Davidson, founder and CEO of Financial Finesse, noted in a statement that the actual cost of lost productivity depends on the individual employer's work force demographics. To determine how much they may be losing, employers need to examine their demographics and identify the warning signs of stressed-out employees, such as a high percentage of hardship withdrawals or 401(k) loans.
"Employers who have high levels of employee financial stress are best served by financial wellness programs that focus on basic money management issues, since the source of stress is predominantly short-term, day-to-day concerns," Greg Ward, director of the firm's Think Tank, said in a statement. "However, employers with low levels of employee financial stress usually need proactive financial planning since their employees are concerned about how to invest effectively in an uncertain economy to grow their wealth over the long term."
Financial Finesse scored respondents across all stress levels in several categories, including money management, retirement planning and investing. A score between 3 and 5 indicates employees who may be "sabotaging" their financial situations and need more basic information, while a score lower than 3 indicates employees who are facing serious financial consequences.
Unsurprisingly, the least stressed workers rated very highly in money management: 8.6 for unstressed workers and 7.3 for those with some stress, indicating they have good financial skills and habits, but may need to do more to protect themselves from unexpected challenges in the future. Those who are highly stressed scored 4.2, while overwhelmingly stressed workers had a score of just 2.5. Workers with higher stress levels scored better in retirement planning than they did in money management, though. Highly stressed workers scored 4.5 and overwhelmed workers scored 3.1. Less stressed workers seem to struggle more with retirement planning than with day-to-day money management, as their scores were lower in this category: 6.9 for unstressed workers and 6 for those with some stress.
In investing, the category where even the least stressed employees scored less than 5, scores for employees at high and overwhelming levels were abysmal. Highly stressed workers scored 1.6, and overwhelmed workers scored just 0.2.
Financial Finesse asked respondents who reported some level of stress what was causing it and found the least stressed workers tended to worry about external factors like the economy or stock market. Those with higher levels of stress were most worried about not being in control of their current financial situation. Not being able to meet their goals was the second most common cause of stress among the higher stressed groups.
All three groups reported similar levels of concern about who to trust with their money, with over a quarter of each group saying they didn't know who to turn to.

Stevens Summer Research Institute Engages Students in Pioneering Maritime Security Research
The 2013 Summer Research Institute (SRI) is underway at Stevens, with 13 students from four universities conducting cutting-edge and immediately relevant research to address the real-world challenge of securing our nation's ports and waterways.
The SRI – which is run by the Stevens-led Center for Secure and Resilient Maritime Commerce (CSR), a Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Center of Excellence in Maritime and Port Security – is an intensive, highly-collaborative summer program focused on addressing complex maritime security issues. During the program, students gain access to Stevens' nationally-renowned maritime security research centers, faculty and technologies and conduct hands-on, multi-disciplinary research. They also engage with the external maritime community through seminars by maritime industry experts and field visits to ports, labs and government facilities.
"Field visits to port environments and locations where maritime and homeland security practitioners conduct their day-to-day operations is a key feature of the Summer Research Institute," said CSR Director of Education Beth Austin DeFares. "CSR actively leverages its partnerships in industry and government, to give SRI student's unique opportunities to go behind the scenes and learn directly from practitioners in the field."
This summer, students with backgrounds in engineering, science and technology management are studying detection technology synergies, Customs and Border Protection (CPB) trade facilitation, and high-frequency radar data integration for the U.S. Coast Guard.
Randy Soto and Oscar Gonzalez Davila of the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez (UPRM) have focused their research on using high-frequency radar (HF radar) technologies to support various Coast Guard activities, such as waterway monitoring, pollution detection, and search and rescue. They are building an advanced algorithm to potentially integrate into the Coast Guard's Watchkeeper System. The algorithm, using data from HF radar signals calculates the speed of waves and direction of currents, and also detects small boats and vessels that aren't reporting on Automatic Identification Systems (AIS). (The Coast Guard requires boats of a certain size to to report on AIS). Since the Coast Guard may be unable to detect vessels without AIS, the integration of HF radar data into Watchkeeper could be an important security asset.
Six students are investigating new efforts by CBP to streamline trade in U.S. ports. Importing and exporting goods to and from the U.S. is an incredibly complex, time consuming, and at times inefficient process, involving loads of paperwork and documentation and extensive security measures. CBP's Centers of Excellence and Expertise (CEE) are designed to transform the trade process for trusted trade partners by leveraging new technologies and improving coordination with other federal agencies in the trade process, e.g. the FDA and DEA. Robert Anderson, Carrick Porter, Farhana Begum, Blama Kollie and Nicholas Monzillo of Stevens, and Omar Bass of Essex County College, are examining the effectiveness of the CEEs, including benefits and drawbacks to various stakeholder populations.
Finally, Jonathan Alarcon and Kate Moyer of Stevens, Kevin Abreu Castellanos of UPRM and Kristen Stilson of Elizabeth City State University are examining how various detection technologies for small boats can be used together to maximize maritime domain awareness. Working with signals from Stevens' passive acoustic hydrophone-based detection system, SPADES, and images from high-definition, infrared, video and hand-held cameras, the team is collecting data on vessels that pass the Stevens campus on the Hudson River. By understanding how different boats create different signals in different technologies and in differing weather conditions conditions, their goal is to build a comprehensive database to efficiently characterize and identify vessels.
"The students have rapidly demonstrated a deep interest and aptitude in utilizing these technologies, and in analyzing complex acoustic data to supplement the other systems" said Dr. Barry Bunin, SRI faculty advisor. "They will clearly demonstrate the role that these technologies can play in port security, and in particular, how they can benefit the USCG."
In addition to working on their individual research projects, this year's SRI participants have engaged in a number of unique activities, including a visit to the National Urban Security Laboratory (NUSTL) for a demonstration of radiological detection technologies and other first responder tools; a talk on countering nuclear and radiological terrorism by Charles Ferguson, President of the Federation of American Scientists; and a situational assessment and economic recovery post-attack exercise hosted by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.

Emerson division planning to add 400 jobs
SHAKOPEE, Minn. (AP) — A division of Emerson Electronics Co. is asking for state and local financial incentives to bring 500 jobs to a vacant plant in Shakopee.
Emerson's proposal to the city says the company would bring 400 new jobs and about 100 transfers to a facility built by ADC Telecommunications, but never occupied. Emerson Process Management Rosemount says about 300 of the positions would be salaried and 200 would be hourly wage jobs. Emerson estimated average annual wages for the jobs at $55,000 to $64,000.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press says Emerson is asking the city, Scott County and the state for an assistance package totaling about $6 million, including tax abatements and matching funds for construction.
The Shakopee City Council plans to consider the request Tuesday.

Improve Your Walking and Running with Pelvic Rotation
Part 2: Pelvic Rotation
"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing."
-Duke Ellington
Over the ten years of teaching ChiRunning and ChiWalking and studying the movement of thousands of people, and in the practice of my own running and walking, I have become more and more aware of the crucial role the pelvis plays in efficient movement.
When the pelvis is being used as it should, the gains in efficiency, injury reduction, and speed, and I'll use the word – power – is truly amazing. It is the kind of power that does not come from force, but from alignment and relaxation. It is a power that comes from allowing your body to do what it is meant to do.
Decades of improper movement, poor posture, and social attitudes about the pelvic area have created pelvises that are not stable enough and not mobile enough. The pelvis has two huge roles that seem incompatible, but are part of the wonder of the human body. The first is to create stability for the whole body during movement. The pelvis joins your legs to your torso. It is what makes your body one whole unit. The second function is to allow movement. When the pelvis is first stable and secondly mobile, it rotates correctly and freely, and the human body moves in a very strong and graceful way.
In Part 1, Focus on the Pelvis, we looked at how pain or soreness in the back, hips, IT band, and feet can all be addressed by holding the pelvis level and engaging the core muscles while walking and running. Keeping your pelvis level and stable limits the front-to-back and side-to-side motion of the pelvis. This in turn gives your entire body a strong foundation during movement, and drastically reduces the possibility of any injuries in your lower back, hips, knees and ankles. Here, the leveling of the pelvis is a stabilizing force.
The next step, once you've learned how to level your pelvis, is to learn to move that level pelvis as you walk and run. This happens by allowing your pelvis to rotate in the direction your rear leg swings. This rotation is crucial to injury prevention and efficiency. By allowing your whole lower body to rotate around the vertical axis, you can gain from 1 to 4 inches with each stride. Any amount that your pelvis rotates along with that leg as it swings behind you will add inches to your stride and ease the amount of work done at the hip joint. A longer rearward stride (without the heel striking that comes from overstriding) can reduce the amount of impact to your knees, hips and lower back. In addition, rotating your pelvis around the vertical axis allows you to tap into a very powerful set of core muscles deep within the abdomen – the iliopsoas. This big muscle elongates at the back of your stride. Then, as your foot leaves the ground, it naturally recoils from its stretched position which returns your leg to the support phase of your stride without engaging your quadriceps.
Here's an image to help you get a sense of what I'm talking about. Picture a chandelier hanging in a hotel lobby. Most chandeliers are suspended by a cable hanging from a single point on the ceiling. If you could grab the chandelier and spin it, the entire light fixture (including the cable) would move as a single unit. Now imagine that your pelvis is like that chandelier and that your upper body is stationary like the ceiling. Then imagine that your entire lower body is "suspended" from a single point along your spine. That specific place on your spine is right at the point where the upper spine (Thoracic area) meets the lower spine (Lumbar area). In ChiRunning terminology, we say that this is the dividing point between your upper body and your lower body. In fact, I go one step farther and tell runners to imagine that their legs begin at this juncture point (T12/L1). If your entire lower body rotates from this point, while your upper body remains "fixed," your running will be much more efficient and easier on your body. On the other hand, if your pelvis doesn't move when you walk or run, it means that all of the swinging motion of your legs originates at your hip joints. Over time this can create overuse injuries in the hip area such as hip bursitis, hamstring pulls, IT Band inflammation and hyper-extension of the hip flexors, especially when you try to run or walk faster with a bigger leg swing.
Try this exercise:
- Stand with your right foot slightly in front of the left, both feet flat on the ground and your weight shifted a little bit more to the front foot. Both knees should be soft, not locked. Hold your arms at yours sides with your elbows bent as though your forearms were resting on the arms of a big chair.
- Level your pelvis (see page 68 of the ChiRunning book).
- Holding your pelvis level, rotate it clockwise and then, counter-clockwise.
- Keep your upper body motionless and your shoulders still while you're rotating your hips. Imagine your shoulders are two headlights and the beams are always pointed straight ahead.
- After doing this for 30 seconds, switch legs so that the left foot is in front, and rotate your pelvis some more.
Adding this exercise to the body looseners you do before your run or walk can help you feel your spine twisting at the T12/L1 junction and create more range of motion in your lower body without over-stressing your hip joints.
The key phrase to remember here is this: every time your leg swings out behind you, allow your hip to go back with it (see below illustration).
The Pool Running Drill
Here's a fun exercise to give you a sense of what it feels like to rotate your pelvis: Think back to a summer long ago when you were a kid playing with your friends at your local swimming pool. Remember getting out of the pool at the shallow end and racing your friends to be first in line for the diving board or slide? What did you do? If you were like me, you ran to the diving board but was always foiled by the lifeguard yelling…. "Hey you, WALK!" So what you did was try to walk as fast as you possibly could without actually breaking into a run.
So here's what to do: A friend can help or just use your imagination. Go outside and find a spot about 25 yards away that you can run to. Then tell your friend to play the part of the lifeguard and, at some point after you begin running, have them yell, "Hey you, WALK!" At which point you should drop into the fastest walk you can possibly do. Hopefully, one of the first things you'll notice is that your pelvis is rotating and moving with your legs as they swing.
We have discovered that it is easier to learn pelvic rotation while walking than while running. Once you can feel this sensation in your walking you'll be able to integrate it into your running. While running you want to allow your hips to rotate as fully as they do during this exercise. For some advanced work, get a Chubby Checkers record and do the twist!
By developing the ability to rotate your level pelvis around the vertical axis of your spine, you can open up a new avenue of ChiWalking and ChiRunning for yourself that will give you a longer, smoother, more fluid stride.
Give it a try and don't forget to stop by the ChiRunning Facebook page if you have any questions.

I'm guessing the purpose of most of us here, including myself, is to use Karezza as a way to bond with a partner and that through this approach, will hopefully find ever deepening love, sexual satisfaction and no more break-ups! However, I'm curious about what happens when/if a Karezza type relationship ends on its own (without falling back into the passion cycle).
Has anyone done the exchanges and then found that you weren't really 'meant' for each other or maybe your lives took you in different directions? If so, how was the separation compared to separations after relationships that didn't practice karezza? Does the bonding allow you to stay closer friends and move on easier to other relationships?
Has anyone used the exchanges as a way to find harmony with someone you cared deeply about, but who you weren't or they weren't committed to as a life or long-term partner? How was that experience?
Has anyone ever used the nurturing (non intercourse) exchanges specifically as a way to separate with ease, and/or as a way to heal resentments for how a relationship may have gone sour from conventional sex?
If there's a post on here that answers any of these questions, please let me know. I did a search and couldn't find any.

is not superglue. It just gives you a good shot at not breaking up purely because biology is pulling your strings.
Also, I think it's the safest approach because even if things don't work out, there's usually a deeper sense of trust and safety between partners. They tend to look at it as a nurturing experience, and tend to try it again in future relationships. Diana Richardson remarks on that in her books, too. If men and women aren't getting something out of this approach, why do they introduce future partners to it (and in her case, bring them to her week-long workshops)?
Marnia, I can believe that. I
Marnia, I can believe that. I wasn't really looking for it to be superglue. In asking these questions, I'm actually hoping to find people who have split up. I'm very curious about that because I've been through so many difficult separations and am curious how that deeper sense of trust and safety would lead to easier separations.
Just dug this up for someone else

Good look at how poweful and healing attachment cues can be. If they work between infant and caregiver, why not between mates in pair bonding species?
I tried to have a karezza relationship
with a woman who was interested in S&M; predictably, we separated. I felt we were living on two different planets, sexually. Maybe there's a "karezza temperament", a type of person who is drawn to this approach?

Could be. That doesn't mean others can't benefit.
Although my last relationship
Although my last relationship hardly ended in an ideal way (I had a long term illness, he had a pornography addiction, and we lived 300 miles away from one and other) and there was upset on both sides, I would say that karezza definitely made the break-up cleaner than it might have been. There wasn't any great resentment on either side, and after a couple of difficult months adjusting to not being a couple we are now almost as good friends as we ever were. I still have his password for his porn-blocker: he sent me flowers on Valentine's day because I'd mentioned a couple of weeks back that I wanted to go and get some to brighten up my room and he realised that I had been too ill to actually do it.
Neither of us try to win the other back - we know that our lives are moving in different directions and that dating again would just bring heart-ache - but the closeness we gained in all the bonding that we did remains. This is demonstrated both in an ability to talk to each other openly about pretty much anything (including potential new partners) and also in our ability to continue to nurture each other in a healthy way outwith a relationship.
That's my answer anyway.
Hugs, Kat
Thanks for popping in Katten
Any signs of improvement? Still have a snuggle buddy around?
wow, thank-you for that. That
wow, thank-you for that. That sounds similar to when I separated from my first long term partner. We were together as partners for 4 years but stopped having sex after the first 1 - 2 years (end of passion cycle). We stayed sleeping together and practicing non-sexual bonding for another 2 years before we decided we really did want sex in our lives (and at that point had no idea how to resolve our own lack of sexual interest in each other). When that happened, we moved on with some sadness to new partners, but stayed very close and (non-physically) intimate friends for many year (to this day).

I know many users do it but I would really hesitate before writing a statement like a = 3. This gives a built-in value to a and you can no longer use it as a symbol. Also, if you change it somewhere, say with a = 4, then it may be easy to lose track of what it's current value is. Rather I would use rules to hold the values of parameters and then substitute with the rules whenever you want numeric values. Something like this... parmvalues = {a -> 3, b -> 5, c -> Pi/4}; Then if you have a symbolic expression that involves the parameters you can substitute as follows. expr = a x + b x^2 + Cos[c]; expr /. parmvalues 1/Sqrt[2] + 3*x + 5*x^2 But, better yet, I might write the above expression with a pattern argument, and subvalue patterns for the parameters. f[a_, b_, c_][x_] := a x + b x^2 + Cos[c] Then when I want it evaluated with specific values I would insert them into the expression. f[3, 5, Pi/4][x] 1/Sqrt[2] + 3*x + 5*x^2 or f[3, 5, Pi/4][2] 26 + 1/Sqrt[2] The object is to keep your expressions symbolic and general as long as possible and don't assign or substitute numeric values until you absolutely have to. The same thing goes for units - they should be part of the data and not part of the symbolic expression. data = {a -> 3 Meter, b -> 5 Second, c -> Pi/4}; David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: xarnaudx at gmail.com [mailto:xarnaudx at gmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net when you type stuff in the input like: In[1]: a = 3 and execute it, the result is shown in the output: Out[1]: 3 since i do many different computations, i wish i had as output: Out[1]: a = 3 (and not only 3 without the "a ="!) where can i set the option to see which result is affected to what variable by default?

thanks and lets here it.
hold for $2, and hope that argintinian honey don't end up here
Gregg Stewart
I'm not gettng anything anymore. I'm sold out! Sold at $1.95-2.35 in the barrel depending on size of load and how bad they needed it. Packers are still calling. Hold on to as long as you can and make them pay.
$2.00 FOB our dock drum exchange. In small lots I must add 10 drum & under. The smaller mom & pop packers have no problems paying $2 bucks and passing the price on for a quality product that really sells it's self.
Grandpaw always taught me that it's real tough to sell out of an empty cart.
One beek called and told me that 2 bucks is a lot of money but then he complained and after thinking about it, not really he explained when he retails his for over $4 bucks and runs out.
Trust me there is no quality white honey to speak of to be found in the midwest. And I base this on what other beeks are telling us.
yes white honey is great to have when national crops are short
Greg Stahlman; Stahlman Apiaries Inc.
1.65 by the truck load, 64 drums
Larry Pender,Jubilee HoneyBee Company,Camarillo, CA
we sold everything this summer for 1.65. maybe could have done a little better but was local with cash and no wait for money. sold a lot years ago for 50 cents to hubbard. wish I had that honey now.
You did well beeware that's pretty much where the market has been since mid summer. I think you could probably get another .05 now for white though ela is still in the 1.55 range, these are major packer offerings. Smaller packers usually a bit higher, you just have to make your own call on who you are comfortable doing business with
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I got $2 for my crop this year. Yep, I wish I had back the 2005 crop when I got $.95. We've had some hundred pound crops since, but that was the last big one.

Policy Studies: A Good Fit for Grinnell
Some areas of academic concentration fit a particular college or university better than others. Such may be the case with Grinnell College's newest area of academic concentration, policy studies, which seems to fit particularly well at Grinnell.
The new concentration will provide students with the tools to analyze policymaking processes and implementation, and to evaluate policy decisions and outcomes from multiple perspectives. To Bill Ferguson '75, professor of economics and one of the main proponents of the policy studies concentration, the implications of the new program extend beyond the confines of traditional academia. In a sense, it is a way to guide the energy behind the social commitment fostered among so many Grinnell students.
"Grinnell's tradition of social activism was an aspect that really influenced those who worked on bringing policy studies to Grinnell," Ferguson says. "We hoped that a course of study such as this would offer students the guidance and skills needed to carry out their social passion."
Ferguson recalls the intensity with which the Grinnell community supported the establishment of the new concentration. "Students and alums were both very enthusiastic about the prospects of incorporating policy studies into the academic programs of Grinnell," he says. "Within the faculty, we found widespread support as well. We obviously expected the social studies division to be fervent advocates for a policy studies concentration, but the degree to which the humanities and, especially, the science divisions supported the idea produced a collaborative effort that is rare to see when taking on a project such as this. The concentration seemed to fit Grinnell very well."
Students are equally enthusiastic. Nick Fitz '11, a third-year who is majoring in philosophy, says, "I think policy studies is a perfect concentration for a lot of different majors, given its interdisciplinary nature. The concentration is well structured and allows for intellectual freedom on the part of the students and the professors. The professors have created a great mix of lecture and discussion, and as a result I think the students learn a great deal."
And with so many interdisciplinary elements to the curriculum, perhaps this widespread enthusiasm is justified. Essentially the policy studies concentration has seven steps. Students must take a Foundations of Policy Analysis course, one empirical methods course chosen from among several disciplines, one course that examines policy making from a humanistic context, one that takes on a scientific context, and one course on the institutional context of policymaking.
At this point in their studies, students should have a good enough foundation in policy analysis to make real-world applications. The final two steps will be one course in applied policy analysis and lastly a research project. "By the time students complete the curriculum," Ferguson says, "they will have a firm understanding of policy analysis and its real-world application."
"As a philosophy major I approach the material from a unique perspective," says Fitz, "yet I hope to gain a concrete understanding of the real policy process and its implications."
Fitz also points out how the policy studies curriculum emphasizes discussion and engagement among students from various disciplines. "I have come to really value how interested and engaged all my classmate are — our class has become close. I very much see policy studies shaping and guiding students' passion for social justice. For example, a seminar on climate change has fueled a passion in that specific issue in me and many of my classmates."
So while the policy studies concentration is not just for political wonks and student activists, it is an option that might appeal to a wide mix of Grinnell students.

Check out your first listen of Celine Dion's new song "Incredible" featuring Ne-Yo!
The song will be featured on the 45-year-old singer's brand new album Loved Me Back to Life, which is set to hit stores on November 5.
Celine has said the song is a "theme song for that moment when you do something that defines who you are or defines a moment in time."
"It's an honor and a pleasure to sing with Celine Dion, but it is not an easy thing," Ne-Yo added. "It's the most irrelevant that I've ever felt. Because the size of Celine Dion's voice, you don't need me there."

SUNY Canton Associate Professor Named as New Editor of Academic Journal
SUNY Canton Associate Professor of Mathematics Daniel J. Gagliardi, Ph.D., has been named as an editor of the mathematics journal Graph Theory Notes of New York.
The publication is sponsored by the Metropolitan section of the Mathematical Association of America. Its purpose is to stimulate research in Graph Theory and to promote the exchange of ideas between researchers in the field.
"My new role as editor allows me to stay on top of new results in the field of graph theory, which I can then share with students," said Gagliardi. "The mathematics department has introduced several new upper divisional courses, including Graph Theory, in support of the newly developed mathematics minor at SUNY Canton."
Gagliardi shares his editorial responsibilities with founding editors Louis V. Quintas of Pace University and John W. Kennedy of Queens College. Graph Theory Notes of New York is published biannually and is distributed worldwide.
Gagliardi conducts research in both Lie Algebra and Graph Theory. His most recent article published in Graph Theory Notes discusses the surprising connections between these two fields of study. Gagliardi is also a coauthor of a textbook written with Saint Lawrence University professor James Defranza. Their book, Introduction to Linear Algebra With Applications, was published by McGraw-Hill Higher Education in 2008 and is being used worldwide. In 2011 the text was translated into Korean.
In addition to his work as a mathematician, Gagliardi is an accomplished double bassist. He and his colleague, Bill Vitek, a Clarkson University professor of philosophy, play jazz at local cafes and area events.

Stamkos breaks right leg on post
Tampa Bay Lightning star center Steven Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg after crashing into the post against Boston.
"It's obviously tough to see him go down, not only for our team, he's one of the best players in the world," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said after his team's 3-0 loss. "People come out to cheer the Boston Bruins here, and they come to see Steven Stamkos play hockey. It's a loss for everybody."
The Lightning said on their Twitter site the star suffered a broken right tibia. General manager Steve Yzerman said that Stamkos is expected to have surgery on Tuesday.
"At this point Steven will be out indefinitely," Yzerman said in a statement. "The medical staff in Boston, in consultation with our team physicians, has made the decision to surgically repair the injury.
"The procedure is expected to take place tomorrow morning. The biggest concern for me, and the rest of the Lightning, is that decisions are made in Steven's best long-term interest, and we feel this is the appropriate course of action."
Teammate Martin St. Louis didn't know how bad it was when the locker room opened after the game.
"He's a big part of our team, but we don't know the severity of it, so we're going to wait and hear," he said. "Obviously, he's a big part of our team."
The team's leading scorer and one of the top players in the league, Stamkos was backchecking on a play late in the second period Monday when he got tied up with Boston defenseman Dougie Hamilton. The pair went into the net hard.
Stamkos immediately grabbed his right leg and was rolling on the ice in pain.
After a brief delay, a stretcher was brought out and he was taken off to loud applause. As he was carted off, he put both hands to his face in apparent pain.
Stamkos collided with Hamilton and fell to the ice just before crashing into the right post. His left skate appeared to hit the post first before his right leg crashed into it around the shin area. He tried to get up twice before going down to the ice in pain, grabbing his leg just above the ankle.
On TV replays he appeared to tell a teammate, "It's broken," before the trainer got out to him.
Stamkos entered the day tied for the league lead in scoring with Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby.

The training camp of the Pittsburgh Steelers is filled with early storylines. But one story that hasn't received much attention is the status of quarterback Dennis Dixon, who has been a no-show in camp.
A restricted free agent, Dixon has yet to sign his tender and hasn't reported to the Steelers. On Sunday, the AFC North blog caught up with Dixon's agent, Jeff Sperbeck, who said his client would prefer a chance to compete elsewhere rather than be a backup to two-time Super Bowl champion Ben Roethlisberger this season.
"Dennis would love the opportunity to start," Sperbeck said. "Yes, we would look forward to an opportunity for a trade -- it's a starting opportunity we're looking for."
Dixon has been a backup to Roethlisberger since 2008.
The Steelers put a fifth-round tender on Dixon this offseason, so there is a chance other teams could eventually show interest once the dust settles on unrestricted quarterbacks.

Bumper Crop from Central America
Overall cup quality is very high this year as the best altitude Central American coffees are now arriving in the United States. The lower grown coffees that arrive earlier in the year are useful as indicators of the cup quality of coming Strictly High Grown coffees, but the lower, milder coffees are good for little else but blending. We don't buy them, since the slower-maturing coffee cherries at higher altitudes yields more brightness (better concentrations of chlorogenic acids that give the cup a characteristic liveliness) as well as more bean density. Greater density insures the coffees will roast better …and last longer in the green form.
The benchmark Central American for the classic, clean cup profile is Costa Rican La Minita from the Tarrazú region. When most of the excellent mid-crop coffees are in, I like to do a pan-regional cupping using La Minita as the sample coffee to which all others are compared. While a bit unfair (since all cup characters should not be imitative of La Minita) it is a great way to highlight the differences and shifts in various coffee crops for the particular year. This year I was pleasantly surprised that La Minita maintained its dominant position in our cupping results in terms of balanced qualities. But I do not remember a mid-crop cupping where so many coffees challenged the La Minita cup in particular qualities, and excelled. The Costa Rican Auction Lot Diamante Tarrazu has less body than La Minita but the tangy brightness and volatile aromatics make this cup jump forward in a lineup of classic Costa Rican coffees. The Costa Rican Santa Elena "Miel" is like a brash party guest (seriously) — it has more character, more body, is more honeyed, and has more aftertaste than any other Costa Rican, and the finish is brash, less refined, rustic. That's because the Miel is a totally nontraditional Costa Rican, processed using the natural-dry Brazil method. It's proven to be a very controversial coffee among the Homeroast Email List crowd, some swearing by it, others finding it too uncharacteristic for the clean, sweet Costa Rican cup they enjoy.
We include most of our wet-processed Central Americans in the cupping, with really phenomenal results from the Salvadors and Honduras this year, and of course the Guatemalans are an entity unto themselves. But I won't comment on the comparison of La Minita to those origins here since they are measured mostly by their difference to the Costa Rican benchmark, than similarity. Needless to say, with El Injerto placing 2 lots in the high-bidding Guatemala Auction, and my personal feeling that Injerto is the mildest of the 3 Guatemala Huehuetenango coffees we have, I am confident we have a hell of a good line-up of Guat.s this year!
A Matter of Taste
Finding the coffees you like is no easy task, but the reward is great. I hope our Coffee Cupping Reviews* help you select coffees you might like, but it is going to take some experimentation and a few blunders to flesh out your preferences. And coffee presents some special problems; the tastes are subtle and complex compared to other beverages, and the language to describe them unfamiliar.
The most important way to quickly define your tastes is to keep a coffee log. This doesn't have to be anything fancy; it could be as simple as tearing the sticker labels off the bags of coffee you like and putting them on a sheet of paper. But keep track of which coffees you liked best and how dark they were roasted when they really impressed you. When you find a coffee that you really don't like, consider it a great success! It's a solid starting point to determine a coffee flavor you don't like, and which coffees to scratch off your list. Perhaps it is "earthy". You will find this in Sumatra in the form of musty or earthy flavors, in Ethiopians -- but only the dry-processed ones. Look for that word in the cupping reviews and it's a good clue to avoid that coffee.
Or maybe bright coffees with citrusy acidity are unpleasant to you. Avoid some Kenyas and some "bright" Centrals. The wet-processed Ethiopians like Yirgacheffe are also citrusy. You can see that a taste characteristic is not strictly geographical. If you loved an East African like a Zimbabwe, it doesn't mean you will love an Ethiopians Harar in the same way, despite them both being African. The difference between Sumatra and Timor is pronounced even though both are Indonesian. Even within a sub-region, primary taste characteristics can be extremely different: a Ugandan is nothing like a neighboring Kenyan. For this reason you find that knowing a little about coffee always seems insufficient given that conventional wisdom is often half-true, and singularities abound!
And remember this: our coffees have character! If it's a character you like, you'll be thrilled. If it's one you don't, you will know it right away. But that doesn't mean its a bad coffee. I put a lot of work into cupping coffee from every coffee brokerage I can to find the truly exceptional origins, and from specific lot numbers of the same name to find the best bags. But it's a committee of one (just me!) that makes cupping decisions. Your results will differ...
Remarkable Robusta!?!
If you make your own espresso blends or want to modify one of ours by adding Robusta, read our review for the new Uganda Robusta from Nanga Farms. It ain't much to look at but it is by far the most interesting cup I have ever had of Robusta. It is a creamy, sweet, and maple syrup-laced cup —and yet it is overlayed with the typical off Robusta taste. Nonetheless, I have never been able to brew a cup of Robusta in a French Press and actually finish the cup! Mind you, we recommend this coffee only for espresso blends, and with 2x the caffeine of Arabica coffee, watch how much you use!

The shiny happy futurism of the 1950s gave way to much darker predictions for humanity in the 1970s. With energy crises, fears of terrorism and skyrocketing unemployment, it's really no wonder that Americans of the 1970s were often pessimistic about the future.
Out of this dread, the apocsploitation film was born.
Movies like Future Shock and The Late Great Planet Earth served up apocalyptic visions of the American future, both secular and religious. The second episode of paleofuture.tv looks at the doomsday documentary films of this era, which strangely enough all seemed to be hosted by Orson Welles. The production values in this episode still leave much to be desired, but I hope you enjoy it!

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
Unmanned Predator drones have become the face of the US war on terrorism, an unconventional response to an unconventional enemy. And they are seemingly effective. Last week, they struck down one of the US military's most-wanted enemies: Baitullah Mehsud, the head of the Pakistani Taliban.
The drones are likely to become more a regular feature of counterterrorism. But as they do, the US – and allies like Pakistan – will have to confront important questions about their legality. Who, exactly, controls the drones? And by what laws are they governed?
Surprisingly, nobody really knows.
Many global observers are troubled by this fact. One of them is Hina Shamsi, a senior adviser to the Project on Extrajudicial Executions at the NYU School of Law. She wrote recently for CBS News:
There has been no real domestic public debate or meaningful congressional oversight over targeted killings, even though their strategic and policy consequences are hotly contested....
Even the legal basis for the targeted killing policy in Pakistan is shrouded in secrecy. Is the CIA operating under the laws of war or some other law? Under the laws of war, only organized armed forces can kill during hostilities; civilian agencies like the CIA cannot. Who reviews CIA target selection and on what criteria? Unlike the military, which has the laws of war to guide it, we simply do not know how the CIA chooses targets and how many civilian bystanders it decides can be killed before it suspends an airstrike.
Within Pakistan, the laws governing predator attacks have never been made clear, as Ashfaq Ahmed writes in an opinion piece for Gulf News, a newspaper based in the United Arab Emirates.
In fact it seems the government has a dual policy: its officials, including Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, condemn the US strikes in public, but there are reports of intelligence being shared behind the scenes to facilitate drone attacks.
US officials have shrugged off the public protest, saying that the drone strikes are carried out under an agreement with Islamabad that allows Pakistani leaders to oppose the attacks in public.
Pakistan clearly needs a transparent and bold policy on this issue.
Since 2008, some 360 people have been killed in 42 drone attacks in Pakistan, many of them civilians, according to Dawn News. Dawn reports that US officials hope the strike on Mr. Mehsud, one of Pakistan's most-wanted enemies, will persuade Pakistan to look more favorably on drone strikes. (Click here to read the The Christian Science Monitor's briefing on drones as weapons of war.)
Mr. Ahmed argues that, to avoid the public outcry that the civilian deaths cause, the US should give Pakistan the drones, and Pakistan should frame the appropriate laws to use them.
For now, the US seems unlikely to do that. But evidence suggests the US is sharing more information on drone attacks with their Pakistani counterparts, according to the Associated Press.
Last year U.S. and Pakistan military officials met in a secret session in which Pakistani leaders agreed to target al-Qaida operatives in return for greater U.S. action against militant tribal leaders such as Mehsud who were a more significant threat to Pakistan.
Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has traveled to Pakistan no fewer than 13 times in the past two years, meeting with his military counterparts to foster better coordination.

For those of us who are not already at the NYCC this weekend, here's how the internets can keep us occupied:
Why did the Judge Dredd 3D movie flop? Here are five reasons from What Culture.
Paul O'Connor at Longbox Graveyard finds much to love about Sean Howe's new book, Marvel Comics: The Untold Story.
Scoop interviews Robert M. Overstreet, creator of the ubiquitous and essential Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. "One of my favorite comics was Fox And The Crow. I would have Kix cereal in the morning and I would read my Fox & The Crow comics eating Kix." I love that.
Jeff Mariotte writes about the problems of freelancing, his own writing career and a great comic strip called Cow And Boy by Mark Leiknes.

Master Of Kung-Fu #120
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Reviews, Marvel Comics,
Doug Moench did not create Shang-Chi (Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin did), but when he took over the book, he ran with it, creating an epic 100-issue run on Marvel Comics' Master Of Kung-Fu that remains, I think, unsurpassed in its 1970s-1980s greatness.
Shang-Chi is the son of the legendary villain Fu Manchu. And the cast of characters that Moench added to the book include elderly Fu Manchu-hunter Sir Denis Nayland Smith and his muscle, Black Jack Tarr, Clive Reston (who is alleged to be the son of James Bond and a nephew of Sherlock Holmes), Leiko Wu, and a pair of recurring characters based on Groucho Marx and W.C. Fields.
Issue #120, January 1983, "Dweller By The Dark Stream," is a stand-alone story, not part of some giant conspiracy-laden arc. All of the series' regular cast is tied up with the exception of Shang-Chi. His planned meditation is interrupted by Rufus Carter, a former CIA agent (and former kickboxing champ) who some call "the ebony Bond." Carter's a one-eyed freelance private eye who persuades Shang-Chi to be his back-up man on his first case.

What ho, weekenders! And happy Canadian Thanksgiving to our hockeyless neighbors to the north!
Stephen Bissette's Center For Cartoon Studies in White River Junction, VT has teamed up with the esteemed site Slate (via The Slate Book Review") to launch the annual Cartoonist Studio Prize, with some real money attached for the winners. This looks like a heckuva good thing and thanks to all involved for putting it together.
Over the years, some of my favorite comics have disappeared from the newspaper as creators retired for various reasons. One of my favorites these days is Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis. Here's Michael Cavna's interview with him.

Quote Of The Day: Alex Pappademas on Stan Lee
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Marvel Comics,

Grantland has put up a two-part excerpt from Sean Howe's highly-anticipated new book: Marvel Comics: The Untold Story.
If you have any interest in Marvel Comics, especially its inner workings, then this appears to be must-reading. In the excerpt, here's how various Marvel folks from the 1970s era are described:
Don McGregor: "... diminutive, fast-talking, aspiring filmmaker from Rhode Island."
Steve Gerber: "...a chain-smoking Camus obsessive from St. Louis."
Gerry Conway: "...the Brooklyn-born prodigy who'd started writing DC Comics when he was 16."
Steve Englehart: "...a bearded and bespectacled conscientious objector from Indianapolis."

Joss Whedon's SHIELD: Who Will Die?
Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Marvel Comics,
Joss Whedon has announced some of the SHIELD agents that will be appearing in his adaptation of Marvel's favorite spy comic (created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby).
Kimberly Roots at TV Line has the rundown and it includes: Agent Grant Ward, Agent Althea Rice, Agent Leo Fitz and Agent Jemma Simmons, along with a female character called Skye who's described as "fun, smart, caring and confident" which makes her a TW, Total Whedon.
But now that some of the characters have been made public, there's only one thing left to do: make up your own deadpool.
Which male character will die in the first season, and will it happen in the first episode, or will the sacrifice be made later, like, say, the season-ending cliffhanger?
Your move, Whedon fans. I've already made my chart.

I am shocked - shocked, I tell you - to discover that the movie Argo (about how Jack Kirby's designs for a screenplay based on a Roger Zelazny novel helped rescue hostages in Iran for the CIA) is playing fast and loose with history.
