Bookends & Beginnings owner expresses excitement for indie bookstore revival
February 1, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Despite the decline of independent bookstores in the past decade, the country has recently undergone an "indie bookstore renaissance," said Nina Barrett, owner of Bookends & Beginnings.
Barrett recently attended the American Booksellers Association's Wi13 conference in Memphis, Tennessee, an annual winter conference for independent booksellers from across the country. She was a panelist for an educational workshop that allowed her to share her tips for selling cookbooks.
Wi13 is an annual opportunity for bookstore owners to meet and exchange ideas, "pick other people's brains" and learn what works and what doesn't in the industry. Barrett said this is the fourth time she has attended the conference, and this year, the energy was "electric."
Barrett said each indie bookstore has its own identity because in most cases, the owner is also the store's main buyer, determining what books to purchase and crafting the store's atmosphere.
"Most owners would never take their hands off of that," Barrett said. "They would never allow anyone else in the store to make the major buying decisions because that is how you are creating your identity."
Paul Zalmezak, Evanston's economic development manager, said the city prides itself on having a mix of large chains and independent stores. He said indie bookstores provide a gathering place for the community.
He added that there is a certain intellectual value in having local bookstores whose inventories reflect the community.
"Independent bookstores are destinations," Zalmezak said. "People are seeking out authentic experiences. People are reacting to the unlined, sanitized, dehumanized world that we're all having to live in and having an experience that is independent unique and surprising is why people talk about Evanston's charm."
Barrett said a lot of adults no longer have access to spaces for intelligent literary conversations since they graduated from college, but independent bookstores can provide that environment.
She added despite the high number of bookstores in Evanston, she doesn't feel as though any of them are in competition. Each bookstore offers customers a very different browsing experience, as the selection of books offered tends to differ in every store, Barrett said.
Erin Booker, a frequent patron of Bookends & Beginnings, said when shopping for books, she likes to support the "local small merchant." She added that she enjoys the store's selections that cater to the community it serves, as well as book recommendations from the owners and employees.
"It provides employment to local community members. It keeps local businesses local and keeps the community vibrant," Booker said. "When there's big chain stores, people are leaving the community to go to big shopping malls and that takes away form the community feel."

Just-In-Time Compilation
The runtime provides first support jit-compilation of Impala code from within C++. This is currently limited to code executed on the CPU.
By default, the AnyDSL runtime is built without jit support.
To enable jit, enable the CMake option
RUNTIME_JIT of the runtime.
Similarly, in C++
RUNTIME_ENABLE_JIT needs to be defined before including the AnyDSL runtime header.
The following example shows how a simple function is jit-compiled and executed using
anydsl_compile() will load all Impala files of the runtime and add the user-provided Impala code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#define RUNTIME_ENABLE_JIT
#include <anydsl_runtime.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
int opt = 3;
std::string str = "extern fn get_value() -> int { 42 }";
if (auto ptr = anydsl_compile(str.c_str(), str.size(), "get_value", opt)) {
auto fn = reinterpret_cast<int (*)()>(ptr);
std::cout << "value: " << fn() << std::endl;
return 0;
return 1;
External functions defined by the AnyDSL runtime are supported, custom external functions need to be linked as a shared library using
anydsl_link() and
anydsl_compile() are provided by the AnyDSL runtime library, which needs to be linked when compiling.

I needed a pair of yellow shoes to compliment the gray dress I bought for my sister in law's wedding. There is a surprising dearth of cute yellow shoes out there. Granted, I had a few parameters. Definitely heels, but not stiletto or sky high- the wedding is outdoors, and as far as I know, we'll be doing plenty of walking on grass. I don't need to aerate their lawn or twist an ankle. No patent leather or suede. The former is just cheesy and the latter doesn't hold up. I scoured the internet and most of what I found was awesome, but had something not quite right about them. These Cole Haans from Saks are super hot, but just too casual.
These are pretty cool, and in the bride's wedding colors, but I learned from my own wedding that sometimes, it's not good to be so matchy-matchy. They're from Sole Society --
Finally settled on these - the coney heel is just high enough, and the birdcage look can go either dressy or casual, which is good for shoes I hope to wear more than just this once. Plus the stretchy elastic is super comfortable. I got them on Ideeli and they're Seychelles. Should have figured I'd end up with a pair of Seychelle's...they're very me.

E4 Geeks: Episode Five – In which geeks just can't get along because reality TV is a load of bollocks.
The reality TV torture continues with another episode of E4's Geeks, which in this episode sees seven geeks take to the party scene in Los Angeles. Three Comic Con female fans join up with four World of Warcraft players in this episode, and are shown a good time at some cool nightlife spots by David Hasselhoff…
…'s daughter, who I've literally never heard of (unless she's the one holding the camera in that viral video of him being all drunk.) I'll get this out of the way; Taylor may know the hottest spots and the places to be seen, but personally I don't even give her dad credit as A Thing That Happened To Culture, so why should I be any more tolerant of his offspring? She seems nice and all, but I'm assuming she's been paid a fair whack of cash just to let them tag along to the bars and clubs that she would be going to regardless. Taylor bumps into our Cosplaying girls Ashleigh, Aisha and Becca (the latter two of whom you can follow in cosplay adventure at their great website) as they relax on the beach following a day of staring at be-pectoraled men on Venice Beach. As you do. Pfft.
Anyway. I've been doing some more of the old investigative journalism on the old Twitter, so I'll say this about the WoW players and absolutely no more: I'm not entirely sure they're the socially awkward type which this programme claims to champion in any way, shape or form. Their seemingly low-key holiday (which again, may have been edited so as to appear that way) takes a backseat to bitchiness as Ashleigh and Aisha disagree over the right way to spend their holiday. Aisha feels that Ashleigh is being too friendly with the boys to the extent that it makes the girls feel unwelcome, while Ashleigh is convinced that Aisha is just being a fuddy duddy. The awkward scenes that the programme tries to set up following these social skirmishes just makes for more of that birdsong-heavy background ambience while the boys stare at their shoes and poor Becca, caught in the crossfire, makes pleas for everyone to just get along.
The producers must have been relieved that they were able to engineer a situation arising from that friction because their Plan A was dead in the fucking water from the get-go. Without so much as an innocent flirtation between either party, the boys are practically falling over each other to blurt out that they've nearly all got girlfriends. The scenes were clearly edited in the wrong order because it's only then that, with the other girls in bed, Ashleigh hangs out with the boys by the pool and we're battered around the face with the impression that she's flirting with them. She isn't; she said as much when casually stating that she has more male friends than female.
Aisha goes on to accuse the boys of having a bad attitude, which gets a bit tiresome throughout the episode – that is, if you were to believe a second of the bullshit editing which would otherwise have you believe that they are just miserable sods. But they aren't; they just didn't necessarily expect to be sharing their holiday with strangers!
What shocked me more than anything is that I found myself agreeing with the tiresome voiceover man for the first time ever. As one of the girls laments that she never had the time to get to know Taylor, what with her being cool and a celebrity, Matt Edmondson cuts in with "…well, the daughter of a celebrity." I'm as stunned as you are, readers.
I'm not going to waste my tired, sleep-deprived fingers on the twist ending; where it turns out that not all is rosy between Aisha and Ashleigh after all, because by that point – over an hour into the recording including breaks, the producers must have really thought they were onto a winner if they extended the runtime – I was just about done with them playing up the catfight angle to the detriment of the entire boys' group; one of the few times we see them together, at the batting cages, the talk of the day is why the girls are arguing! They must have been a real bunch of boring sods…or perhaps not if their Twitter banter is to be believed.
Once again, what could easily have been a perfectly pleasant holiday with some minor disputes – absolutely nothing that doesn't happen on holiday anyway, for god's sake – is blown out of all proportion. It's sad because our cast of geeks is once again made out to be beyond help despite their clearly being able to function within normal society.
The girls did look great in cosplay. At least there's that. And their trip to JapanTown – holy crap, that place looks amazing!
Let's end on the Cornette Face again because, well, why not.

At least it sure feels like that. We have only been away once all summer and that has been hard. We are gypsy's and like to be on the road, even if it's just an over-nighter. Having to babysit workers and all of the emotional ups and down and sideways was a very unpleasant and sad experience.
Happy that it is done, let me tell you....
So...I was asked to smoke some fish for some people. I do three...keep one.I was like..sooo happy to be doing this. I hadn't done anything for the months. Hell, I couldn't even see the bbq or smoker..we had the shed packed with boxes of household items.
Then I had a wee RV repair to effect. The Magic Chef stove has a two piece grill on top and they get all bent and warped with use. I had bought replacements but they needed some fine tuning. Got that done..only took me 3 hours when it should have been about 30 minutes....but ended up with the new ones in place and two bent old ones. I was going to bbq a fresh coho half and putting the fish skin down on the bbq grills always leaves a huge mess.....heeeeyyyyyy hey......
Demerara brown sugar, some salt and pepper and some garlic powder.
And Sharon baked some banana loafs.
And getting packed up to head out.

Oops I did mistype it, sorry.
Should be: Generic PnP Monitor on Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family.
The reason I am asking is because I am having a problem with my monitor and feel that it is something to do with an update.
Do you have a restore point prior to the update that you can revert to?
On the 17th May HP had to do a reset to factory settings for me because I was hit by a virus. It has only happened since then. The lower 1/3rd of the screen is offset to the right by 1" and flickering. They did a quick fix by changing the resolution. However I have to scroll every which way to read anything now. I have done a reinstall of driver and everything in the book on personlization. I am still trying to fix this, hence my e-mail to you. I appreciate your assistance very much I am not a computor savvy person (but I am learning a lot). I am an old lady. Thanks again.

Are you tired of stories about interviews and plane flights and having faith? Sigh. Me too. Believe me, it is even more tiresome to be living them. (This morning David said, "How do you feel about Waco, Texas?" Um, yeah, not exactly top on my list.) This morning then, how about a story of romance? Don't worry. There is little or no necking involved.
On Saturday night, Caleb went to Teen Elect. He dressed in his new suit and his dad's hand-me-down tie, put gel in his hair and let me comb the back down. I could smell cologne and toothpaste.
Teen Elect is where you learn about manners and dancing and how to make conversation with someone of the opposite sex. Olivia has been looking forward to it for two years now.
When I dropped Caleb off, he said, "Aren't you going to come in with me?" I wasn't. But I parked and led him inside. He got his nametag, he found out where to go, he gave me a side-shuffling hug, and disappeared into the unknown.
I picked him up three hours later.
"Did you have fun? How was it?"
"It was interesting."
"How was the dance?"
"How were the classes?"
"Interesting. Kind of boring."
"What did they talk about?"
"Wearing deodorant and always having a mint."
"Did you have fun?"
"I'm not sure. It was interesting. And awkward. Very awkward."
Olivia and Savannah were waiting on the couch for us when we got home. Waiting with bated breath. They have been waiting for weeks, truth be told. They were ready for a story of romance, a story of love and lust, of fancy ballrooms and meaningful looks.
"Soooooo, how was it?"
"Tell us everything! Did you dance?"
"Of course. They made us."
"Who did you dance with?"
"Lots of people. We had to."
"Were the girls cute?"
"I don't know."
"What were they wearing?"
"I don't know."
"What color were their eyes?"
"Oh, come on, Olivia."
And then Olivia sighed hugely, "Oh, it sounds sooo romantic."
I looked at her. Romantic? The way Caleb tells it, it was just this side of painful.
And then she said, "I can't wait for teen elect. My favorite part is the hip part."
I asked, "What's the hip part?"
"You know, the part when the boy puts his hand on your hip."
Heaven help us.
The next day we pried a few more details from him. I asked him if he talked to the girls while he was dancing.
"Of course," he said. "They taught us that."
"What did you talk about?"
"I asked them their favorite color."
"O...kay. Anything else?"
"One girl asked me what school I go to and I said 'Stapley'."
"But you don't go to Stapley."
"I know, but it seemed easier. But then she said, 'I go to Stapley. Why haven't I ever seen you?' and I was like 'Umm, yeah, I lied about that.'"
Olivia gasped, "And then did she slap you? Oh that sounds soooo romantic."

I'm testing out an idea for live screencasts of retouching work I do on my own images, and some work I do for a few clients.
Since I am working through retouching twelve Edward Weston photographs for an upcoming book I thought it would be a good way to kick off the series.
The photographs I'm working on are from his Fiftieth Anniversary Portfolio. Arizona's Center for Creative Photography houses the Edward Weston Archive and provided the publisher the scans. It's my job to clean them up and get them ready to send to the printer to make their proprietary quad tone separations.
Here's a short sped up version of some a video I did yesterday. I have to warn you; there are a lot of spots, but you can learn how to get through them quickly without killing image detail. Plus I'll go through some tonal editing and optimization for making the separations.
Tune in today at 3PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), UTC -4 or check back at my YouTube channel for the archived broadcast.
Hit the subscribe button on my channel or the one below to be notified of new live videos and to be updated when I upload new recordings.
If you missed the live stream, check out the full hour recording below. If you like where I'm going with this make sure to subscribe to be notified about future live screen casts.

There is one natural oil in our hair and that oil is 'sebum' but overproduction of this oil leads to bad and oily hair. Many people apply products like hair gels, waxes and many others which makes the hair more greasy. Hair plays a great role in defining a personality of a person. If you're not taking care of your hair than indirectly or directly you're hurting your personality.
What Makes Hair Oily ?
To deal with oily hair the first step is to find the reasons behind oily hair. Sometimes oily hair take place due to hormonal problem that occurs due to pregnancy, puberty, menopause, etc due to this the production of sebum oil increase in our scalp. If you're facing oily hair problem without having any of the above problem than this article is for you.
- CHOOSE SHAMPOO WISELY :- A shampoo of good quality protects your hair from every problem which that shampoo will have essential and pure ingredients in it. Always use shampoo which contains salicylic, ketoconazole, sulfide these acids will deeply cleans your scalp and will make it more healthier. If you're confused to use a good quality shampoo than we advice you to use this > SEBAMED EVERYDAY SHAMPOO.
- AVOID TOUCHING YOUR HAIR :- Avoid touching your hair as well as your face also because your fingers and face both produces oil. Fingers are capable of consuming oil and when you touch your hair again and again your fingers drop oil on the scalp. Sometimes your fingers have touched some chemicals and after that you still you play with your hair. Touching hair with fingers is the main reason for oily hair.
- ALOE VERA :- This is the best home remedy to tackle with oily hair. Aloe makes hair smooth and shiny moreover they removes unwanted oil, dandruff. It acts as a bodyguard for your hair. You need 1-2 tablespoons of aloe vera gel , 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 cup of water. Mix these three things well in one bowl and than apply it on your hair for 10-15 minutes and after this wash it off. To get better results use this remedy once a week.
- WASH LESS OFTEN :- Several researches has shown that as much you will wash your hair the amount of oil production will also increase with it. One more reason, washing your hair with shampoos and conditioners which contains silicone increases oil production. If you're washing your hair daily with shampoo than change this bad habit immediately. Washing hair 2-3 a day removes sebum oil from your hair and scalp reacts to this by producing more sebum oil.
- COCONUT AND TEA TREE OIL :- You will be surprised that how that applying oil on scalp will removes oil from hair. The excessive production of oil on your scalp is bacterial oil and these two oils are known for fighting against this. These both have antimicrobial which help to reduce bacteria and fungus. Use a little amount of oil everyday on your scalp. HEAPWELL COCONUT OIL , TEA TREE OIL.

Do you suffer from one or more missing teeth? Missing out on all the great holiday foods? At Antoine Dental Center in Houston, we are proud to offer a variety of dental implant options for patients that are interested in permanently restoring not only the appearance of their smile but also its function.
For patients with missing teeth, eating certain foods can be extremely challenging and even at times, painful. Dentures is one teeth replacement option that can be used to restore some functionality. However, even with dentures, there are quite a few foods that are still on the "do-not-eat" list.
About Our Houston Dental Implants
In recent years, dental implants have become one of the most popular options for replacing missing teeth. The reason? They are the closest we can get to a brand new set of natural teeth.
A dental implant is comprised of three parts: the implant, the abutment, and the prosthetic crown. The implant itself is a small post which serves as an artificial tooth root and is attached to the jawbone. The abutment is used to attach the prosthetic crown to the implant once it is healed. The prosthetic crown is the visible "tooth" and is designed to look, feel and function just like a natural tooth.
Dental implants have the ability to replace one or more teeth at a time, depending on your preference and your ultimate dental goals. For those looking to replace multiple or all of their teeth, dental implants can be used to secure a dental bridge, a partial or even a denture. Opting for implant-supported dental appliances will reduce the risk of them coming loose, remove the need for adhesives and allow the patient to enjoy the foods they once did before.

The King of Pop earned $75 million pretax over the past year, landing him the No. 1 spot on our Halloween-spooky list of highest-paid dead celebrities. Here's a deeper look inside the numbers.
Real Name: Michael Jackson
Born: August 29, 1958
Died: June 25, 2009
Age: 50
Cause: Overdose / Homicide
In 2016 the King of Pop clocked $825 million—the highest annual total for any entertainer dead or alive—mostly from the sale of his half of the Sony/ATV catalogue. Despite earning less than one-tenth that sum this year, he easily leads our list thanks to a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas, a stake in the EMI publishing catalogue and continued interest in his own music, most notably new album Scream.
Jackson's $75 million tally this year still places him on par with the seventeenth-best-paid living entertainer, Bruce Springsteen. The King of Pop, now also solidifying his status as the King of Halloween, has earned over $3 billion pretax during his career--before and after his death--and closer to $4 billion when adjusting for inflation.
See the full list of the highest-paid dead celebrities here.

It was called 'Once Upon A Time': Rumple Pulls Out Excalibur — Season 5 Episode 6 Recap - Hollywood Life
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
'Once Upon A Time': Rumple Proves He's A…
Sun, November 1, 2015 9:56pm EST by Avery Thompson
Emma needed a hero, and she was willing to hold out until the end of the night. Rumple finally stepped up to be the hero we always knew he could be on the Nov. 1 episode, and it was AWESOME!
Emma couldn't complete the next step in her master plan without a hero, and Rumple was the only guy she needed. On the Nov. 1 episode of
, the Storybrooke gang realized they couldn't trust Arthur, Emma made Zelena a wicked offer, Merida finally got her chance to shine and Rumple transformed into a hero.
Merlin, Hook, Charming and Belle went to the dungeons to free Merida. The red-headed gal was still on a mission to save her brothers. Right after she was freed, she knocked Belle unconscious! When Belle woke up, Merida was rowing them to the Shores of Dunbroch.
She needed Belle to help free her brothers. She knew that this group of men trying to take over her kingdom would only free her brothers if she relinquished the throne. She was the rightful queen, she didn't want men telling her otherwise. But she didn't believe in herself whole-heartedly. She wanted to use a potion that would transform her into a bear so she could scare off those who were holding her brothers hostage.
Well, the main guy in charge was super hot. He totally gave me a Khal Drogo from
vibe. Belle drank the potion, but Belle soon admitted that she mixed the potion with water. Merida had to come up with a Plan B. She saved her brothers with her bow and arrow, and the men bowed down to their queen. Go, Merida!
Emma found Merlin and finally remembered she knew him from back in the day. He made sure to remind her of what he said all those years ago. "Leave Excalibur alone. The fate of everyone you love rests upon it," Merlin said.
In the present day, Regina revealed to the crew that they had found Merlin back in Camelot. Eventually, blame was thrown Rumple's way. If Rumple hadn't brought the darkness back to Storybrooke, they wouldn't be in the situation they're in. They had to contact Merlin, even at the risk of hurting Rumple.
Rumple was a hero in training. Merida was helping him with that. He had to break the cute tea cup to get free. In order to make Rumple a hero, Emma ordered Merida to kill Belle. Rumple managed to find his way to Belle before Merida, and he took the opportunity to thank Belle for keeping him alive while he was in his slumber.
He soon realized that Emma's whole plan revolved around making him a hero. Rumple didn't want to become Emma's slave. He needed to get to the shop to find some magic. In the meantime, Belle gave him some major inspiration that he needed to be the hero she always knew he could be.
They made it to the shop, and Merida nearly killed Belle! Thankfully, some quick thinking on Belle's part saved her from becoming Merida's victim.
Over in villain territory, Emma went to visit Zelena. She needed the big bad witch's help. Zelena was the only one to use Merlin's wand and live to tell about it. After offering up onion rings, Emma revealed her deal. She would free Zelena and offer her protection from anyone. Zelena complimented Emma on her next level darkness after ripping out Violet's heart.
Zelena said Henry would never forgive her, and his anger would fester. Emma was still holding onto hope that Henry would eventually forgive her. Zelena refused Emma's deal and didn't care what Emma thought about it.
Rumple wanted to get the heck out of Storybrooke with Belle. It was the only way he could escape Emma's clutches. Or so he thought. "I'm a coward, Belle. That's never going to change," he said. Belle wasn't going to listen to Rumple's pity party. She walked away from him and encountered Merida once again. Emma forced her to drink the potion that would transform her into a bear. Belle pleaded with Bear Mer not to kill her. Rumple FINALLY stepped up and distracted Bear Mer. He got smacked right in the face but managed to throw the transformation powder in Ber Mer's mouth, saving them all.
Regina and the gang planned to use the magic mushroom to contact Merlin. Arthur offered to help and threw it in the fire when no one was looking. He said the spell didn't work, but everyone began to see Arthur's shadiness. Later, they discovered Arthur had lied to them. He's truly the worst.
There was only one other person in Storybrooke they could could call that was chosen by Merlin — the Author. Henry wanted Emma back and was willing to do whatever it took. When they contacted Merlin, things were worse off than they originally thought. He said that if they were contacting him, the Dark One had found him already. The only one who could help them now was a person named Nimue. Emma better not have hurt a pretty hair on Merlin's head.

Over in Emma's lair, new hero Rumple offered to remove Excalibur in exchange for Merida's heart. If he couldn't remove Excalibur, Emma would kill him. Before doing the deed, he told Belle, "I would change everything for you." He pulled out Excalibur, and it was a magical moment. He then turned to Emma and said that she had just made a huge mistake in turning him into a hero. And I believe him. Also, WHY DOES EXCALIBUR HAVE KILLIAN'S NAME ON IT!! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Journal of Economic Perspectives, 1992, vol. 6, issue 3, 79-100
In my book Scale and Scope (1990), I focused on the history of the modern industrial firm from the 1880s, when such firms first appeared, through World War II. I did so by comparing the fortunes of more than 600 enterprises—the 200 largest industrial firms at three points in time (World War I, 1929, and World War II) in each of the three major industrial economies (those of the United States, Britain, and Germany). In this paper, I first describe the similarities in the historical beginnings and continuing evolution of these enterprises and then outline my explanation for these similarities. Next, I relate my explanation of these "empirical regularities" to four major economic theories relating to the firm: the neoclassical, the principal-agent, the transaction cost, and the evolutionary. Finally, I suggest the value of the transactions cost and evolutionary theories to historians and economists who are attempting to explain the beginnings and growth of modern industrial enterprises.

Rapist-Parental Rights Appears Headed to Passage in General Assembly
The General Assembly is expected to do something they haven't been able to do for 10 years: Pass legislation that would strip the parental rights of rapists.
The measure has failed to pass each time it has come up over the past decade. This year, Gov. Larry Hogan, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. and House Speaker Mike Busch have all said the bill is a priority.
Here, Montgomery Village Democrat Del. Shane Robinson said he believed the measure would pass. Robinson is the chairman of Montgomery County's House delegation.
You can follow the bill's progress here.
This includes a "fiscal note" on the bill. Fiscal notes describe the effects of legislation.
And here is Hogan's video statement on the bill:
In the video, Hogan says: "No rapist should be allowed to maintain their right as a parent, and no victim should ever be forced to interact with their attacker."
Another key issue for lawmakers will be Maryland's response to federal tax reform, which caps the amount filers can claim in state and local taxes.
Here's how Robinson feels about the issue:
And finally, Robinson said Busch is calling on lawmakers to ensure children have health insurance. The federal government has failed to provide funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, which covers 8.9 million children across the country.
Here's Robinson's statement:

Nothing says "trick or treat, you smarmy bastard" like this awesome Halloween costume based on everyone's favorite displaced British vulgarian game critic.
Okay, so this isn't exactly the real world Yahtzee Croshaw we all know and love from Zero Punctuation. It's still awfully impressive, especially when you consider that there's not much going on here beyond some cardboard, a black magic marker, a few straps and a disconcertingly-tight yellow one-piece.
Reddit user R.J. Cantrell, the man behind the costume, certainly created the costume in the proper spirit of Zero Punctuation, if not Halloween, writing, "I only made this costume in order to snidely critique everyone else's." We can only hope he spends the evening yelling at people with a dismissive English accent.
It's almost time, at least in this part of the world, for the Halloween haunting to begin. What are you dressing up as this year? Upload some pics and show us what you've got!

Is Avenir Boston still going to be built?
Abby Goldenfarb, a spokeswoman for Trinity Financial, insists the developer still hopes to start work by the end of the year, and is now working to firm up financing and sign up a construction contractor.
"We are just re-evaluating our sales strategy," Goldenfarb said.
But the announcement of the marketing shift comes after an anticipated September groundbreaking that never materialized.
"To me it's code that the project is in trouble," said John A Keith, a Boston real estate broker who writes a blog on the local market.
One possibility could be downward repricing of the condos, which had been offered in the $500,000 to $700,000 range, Keith said.

As I revisit "Übungstück Number 9" by Friedrich Gulda for my upcoming performances, I find that I still absolutely love this piece especially as one of my encore pieces. Even though I am not a jazz pianist, I get to sound like one - great fun! "Übungstück Number 9" ends pretty much any program on an upbeat note, and audiences seem to love the lightness and the jazzy character of the piece.
Friedrich Gulda (1930-2000) started his career as a classical concert pianist and became famous for his interpretations of repertoire by Mozart, Schubert and Beethoven. I love his witty and charming playing especially for Mozart's piano sonatas.
A sought-after pedagogue, the list of Gulda's students includes titans of the piano like Martha Argerich.
In his 20's Gulda started developing an interest in jazz music. He played with legendary jazz musicians including Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea.
Gulda wrote "Übungstück Number 9" (etude no. 9) as part of "The Long Road to Freedom" intended as an introduction to jazz piano music dedicated to his wife Yuko Wakiyama. Many of the pieces are technically quite demanding, but great fun to play. The entire collection is inspired by Gulda's charming and highly intellectual style for which he became so famous.
Enjoy this arrangement by James Wilding from my live performance with German percussionist Thomas Hastreiter on marimba.

I don't know about you but I love to look at other people's tattoos. What may seem to be some simple body art actually can be something deep and meaningful to the wearer. For those of you who (like me) can be socially ill at ease at times, it is a really great conversation starter!
I had not given tattoos much thought until I was asked to design one. I was very nervous knowing this would be something so permanent. I was touching to see the final design on the wrist of the guy I designed it for. Not only was the image meaningful to its wearer but it created a connection in my mind knowing my design would be permanently on his skin forever! It was then that I started to really appreciate tattoos in a new way.
I always notice and appreciate celebrity tattoos so I thought it would be really fun to embroider some! This was such a blast and kind of addictive. Want to play a little game of "guess the celebrity tattoo"?
To embroider the tattoos, I found some good images online and took a screenshot. I sized them in photoshop and then printed them. Once you have the image printed on paper, it is easy to trace onto a piece of fabric by taping the image on a bright window, then taping your fabric on top of that and using a mechanical pencil to trace the design.
Another method is to use sticky water soluble paper. You can either print the design directly onto the paper or you can trace the design onto the paper, cut around it, peel off the paper backing, and stick the design wherever you want to embroider it. When you are done stitching, rinse the stabilizer off with warm water and dry the fabric.
Above, is what I have at home.
So let's get started:
Here is celebrity A: (Answers will be posted at the end.)
Celebrity B:
Celebrity C:
Celebrity D:
Celebrity E:
Celebrity F
After finishing all the stitches and rinsing off the stabilizer, I cut around each of the embroideries and am currently sewing them onto a jean jacket. I am trying out something new by use a glue stick to affix the pieces first then sewing around each of the edges with the sewing machine. I hadn't thought about what will happen to the glue if I wash the jacket (?) The glue says it's washable but I am wondering if there will be glue residue on the jacket after washing. I'll let you know how it goes.
Now the answer key:
Hope you had fun guessing!
Thanks for stopping by!

$38 million downtown apartment project 'brings energy, vibrancy' to Arkansas River
A $38 million downtown riverbank apartment project years in the making is about to make its debut.
Developers of the 202-unit River Vista, which stretches across the west bank of the Arkansas River between Douglas and First Street, will open apartments on the north end of the complex in April. The remaining apartments are expected to open by June, said Amy Liebau, River Vista president and chief operating officer of Laham Development, one of River Vista's three developers.
Rental rates for the apartments start at $955 a month for a one-bedroom and $1,050 for a two-bedroom.
The views from most of the apartments are unique, offering views of the river and the downtown skyline looking east.
"We feel like one of the best amenities is the view," Liebau said.
River Vista has had people on a waiting list since before the project started. It's also had some "commit to leasing without seeing a photo, seeing anything," Liebau said.
"I think the response we've had is pretty impressive given we've kept it under wraps for a grand unveiling."
Liebau would not say how many people were on the waiting list or have committed to leasing a River Vista unit.
Boats and bikes
Each unit will have modern finishes and include a washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. Each ground-level unit will have a patio, while the upper units will have balconies. Fourteen corner apartments in the complex offer extra features, including some with vaulted ceilings, loft bedrooms and 14-foot floor-to-ceiling windows.
Those corner units — "what we would call our premium units," Libeau said — rent for more, though she would not say how much.
Other amenities fronting the river include small plaza-like areas with bench seating for residents. Some will have water features with bubbling fountains and gas fire pits while others will have pergola-style coverings and outdoor grills. A "resort-style" pool will be on the southeast end of the complex as well as a clubhouse and fitness center.
River Vista has a two-deck parking garage with the upper level open to public parking and a gated dog-walking area with on-site wash.
The four-story complex will have a ground-level, riverfront shop that will rent small boats and bicycles to residents and the public.
Liebau said 120 feet of the River Vista property that developers purchased from the city for $100,000 — from the river's edge to the complex's wall — will be accessible to the public, including the boat and bike rental shop and a 240-foot-long lighted dock. That dock will be used by members of Wichita State University's Shocker Rowing team. The team will have 7,000 square feet of rent-free space to store their boats — what they call "shells" — as well as showers and locker rooms next to the rental shop.
River Vista's developers are also making improvements to the public river walk, such as new lighting, concrete and landscaping.
Developers are also restoring the McLean monument fountains in Delano Park, which sits to the south of River Vista, as well as re-landscaping the park to include an outdoor, amphitheater-style seating area for future music concerts performed from a floating stage on the river.
"There will be a big transformation in the next 60 days" of the park area, Liebau said.
Access to River Vista's residences and non-public amenities are controlled by gates and other security measures.
Activating the river
As downtown apartment projects go, River Vista, 150 N. McLean, is one of the two biggest in the past eight years in terms of cost and units. Only The Douglas at 200 E. Douglas rivals River Vista in the number of units, at 240. The projects are equal in cost, according to Wichita Downtown Development Corp. information.
It joins 15 other downtown apartment projects — totaling 835 units — to open since the adoption of the Project Downtown master revitalization plan in 2010, according to WDDC.
Liebau said River Vista's developers, who besides Laham include Dave Wells of Key Construction and Old Town developer Dave Burk, are confident in the project's ability to attract tenants. An earlier River Vista plan called for 154 units with remaining space at the site to be used by office tenants.
But "as we did our market research we found higher demand for apartments," Liebau said.
Jeff Fluhr, president of the Greater Wichita Partnership, a public-private economic development group, said River Vista "brings a diversification of housing options" to downtown because it is located along the Arkansas river.
It also "activates" downtown's riverfront, he said, by adding a new group of people who aren't just there to walk their dogs or ride their bicycles along the river. Now, he said, there will be people out on the balconies of their apartments, or at River Vista's pool that overlooks the river.
"That brings an energy, a vibrancy we have not had," he said.
"As we continue to develop our riverfront, we want to be authentic. We want to be distinctive," Fluhr said. "River Vista really contributes to our distinctiveness, our authenticity."

One day two friends were talking, and were like, "It's about time somebody made an animated series about an old timey baseball team."
So we made one ourselves.
BUSH LEAGUERS is an adult animated comedy series about a team of misfit, old school baseball players, set in the gritty, rough and tumble world of turn of the century New York City.
Inspired by classic ensemble TV comedies like THE SIMPSONS, FUTURAMA, and 30 ROCK, our heroes and villains will have to contend with each others eccentricities, and the traps and temptations of big city life, in order to keep the team afloat.
Here you'll find more details on the concept and its development, as well as a proof-of-concept short film that we produced, and some information about its production.
We love feedback, and we'd love to take make more of these on a larger scale, so don't hesitate to EMAIL US with any questions or comments. We'd love to connect.

RCMP official charged with breaching official secrets law
The senior RCMP intelligence official charged with breaching Canada's official secrets law oversaw a money-laundering probe into allegations that millions in defrauded Russian tax dollars, exposed by Russian tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, were funneled through Canada.
Cameron Jay Ortis, charged by the RCMP this week with illegally storing and communicating classified information, was working on the case as recently as August, U.S.-born financier and anti-Putin campaigner Bill Browder confirmed to The Globe and Mail Saturday. Mr. Browder and his legal team met with Mr. Ortis on February 7, 2017 and have been in touch with him since in an effort to get the RCMP to open an investigation into allegations that more than $14-million in Russian fraud proceeds were tied to Canada.
Senior RCMP official charged in breaching Security of Information Act known as secretive, friends say
Mr. Browder said his team was trying to set up a second meeting with Mr. Ortis, director-general of the RCMP's National Intelligence Coordination Centre, this fall to discuss the case. When he heard about Mr. Ortis' arrest Friday, Mr. Browder said was in "complete shock."
"He seems like the last person one would expect to be a spy for a foreign country," Mr. Browder told The Globe and Mail in an exclusive interview from London.
The RCMP did not respond to a request for comment about the nature of Mr. Ortis' work on the Russian tax-fraud allegations.
The money Mr. Browder is asking the RMCP to look into is part of a $230-million tax fraud scheme uncovered by Mr. Magnitsky, who was hired by Mr. Browder in 2005 to track down the stolen funds. Mr. Magnitsky was beaten to death by Moscow prison staff in 2009 after accusing Russian officials of theft in matter.
Mr. Ortis was joined by several Canadian officials when he met with Mr. Browder and his team at RCMP headquarters in Ottawa in 2017 to discuss the 440-page money-laundering complaint filed to the RCMP. Mr. Browder said he handed over 1,000 pages worth of evidence during that meeting.
Mr. Browder, who has faced numerous threats to his life for his anti-Putin work, said Mr. Ortis was also in charge of his security travelling in and out of Canada during his visit to Canada.
"He seemed to be a highly competent, intelligent, reasonable man. There was absolutely nothing unusual at all. He made a good impression as a professional," Mr. Browder said of the 2017 meeting.
Although the details of the allegations against Mr. Ortis have not been released, Mr. Browder says the RCMP has some explaining to do.
"Given what's happened, the RCMP has a duty to sit down with us in a very transparent manner and go through where they are in the money laundering investigation and where they want to be so that we don't have any fear that the investigation has been compromised," Mr. Browder said
Mr. Browder originally filed the complaint with the RCMP on October 21, 2016. The Mounties have not opened a formal investigation into the matter.
Mr. Browder has led the international effort to sanction human-rights abusers worldwide, in memory of Mr. Magnitsky. Canada introduced its own version of the Magnitsky Act in 2017 and has since used it to issue sanctions against 70 people, including dozens of Russian officials.
Mr. Ortis' arrest Thursday raised fears of a massive security breach at the national police force that stands to affect the operations of law-enforcement agencies in Canada and around the world. The 47-year-old faces seven charges under the Security of Information Act and the Criminal Code in relation to alleged infractions between 2015 and 2019. He appeared in court on Friday.
According to documents filed in court, he is charged under the act with obtaining and preparing information for the purpose of communication with a foreign entity or terrorist group, and communicating or confirming "special operational information" to an unspecified entity or individual. He is also charged under the Criminal Code with breach of trust.
Paul Evans, a University of British Columbia professor who served on the doctoral dissertations committee for Mr. Ortis' PhD thesis and wrote a pair of essays with him, said on Saturday that the accused is a "very fine Canadian" and that it is difficult to believe he is guilty of the charges against him.
"Nothing in my experience with Cameron would lead me to suspect he would be (in) any way involved in activities that would lead to such charges," Mr. Evans said in an e-mail to The Globe and Mail.
Mr. Evans said he had seen Mr. Ortis socially in recent years after Mr. Ortis began working in Ottawa.
"He did not discuss the details of his work and throughout was an exemplar of discretion and integrity in our interactions."
The professor in the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, a teacher of Asian and trans-Pacific Affair, said Friday's news of legal proceedings against Mr. Ortis was a surprise.
"Like others who knew him well, I was shocked by the news of the arrest of a very fine Canadian."
Trudeau spends final day of campaign in B.C.
VANCOUER, B.C. — Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is making his final pitch to voters with a whirlwind trip through British Columbia.
The Liberal campaign will make several stops in and around Vancouver today, including in ridings held by the New Democrats, before heading over to Victoria for the last rally before Canadians cast their ballots Monday.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, as well as both NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and the Green's Elizabeth May, are also spending the day in the province.
The Liberals have faced criticism from progressive voters in B.C. over their decision to purchase the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project for $4.5 billion, but in Alberta, they have been accused of not doing enough for people who work in the oil and gas sector.
Last night in Calgary, the Liberal campaign was greeted by protesters carrying signs accusing Trudeau of treason, as well as about 1,500 supporters who showed up for a late-night rally.
Trudeau told the crowd there are thousands of progressive voters in Alberta, where the Liberals won four seats in 2015 after having not won a single riding in the province since 2004.
"I know that there are thousands upon thousands upon thousands of progressive Albertans who do not feel that (Alberta Premier) Jason Kenney speaks for them," Trudeau said.
NDP turned low expectations into high spirits on the campaigns
PORT ALBERNI, B.C.— It's about the energy.
Ed Ross felt it when he pressed a long, slate grey eagle feather into Jagmeet Singh's hands. Ross was among a group of drummers from the Tseshaht First Nation who sang and played for the NDP leader as he disembarked from his campaign bus Friday morning in this valley town in the mountainous interior of Vancouver Island.
"When I gave him the feather at first, he grabbed it, embraced it, and then went in and held it through the whole (event)," said Ross, dressed in an orange T-shirt and black vest with a band of sweetgrass tied around his head.
"I'm an energy guy. It's how I feel when I meet you," he said. "I can see that he's listening. I can see that he's engaged. I can see the eye contact that he makes …
"You can see that he's a good man."
For weeks before the start of the federal election campaign, top NDP officials were saying Singh — the 40-year-old rookie leader of Canada's social democratic party — had personal magnetism and charisma that could ignite on the campaign trail. Now that the campaign is in its final days, polls suggest they may have been right. Singh has seen a bump in recent weeks, both in national voting intentions for New Democrats, and in his own personal favourability ratings, that one pollster characterized as "through the roof."
Marie Della Mattia, the NDP's campaign co-chair, said the party has stayed true to its plan. At every turn, Singh has cast the Liberals and Conservatives as beholden to the interests of the rich, and tried to convince Canadians that New Democrats will tax corporations and the wealthy to pay for broad and expensive social programs that would benefit everyone.
A big part of why people might be listening, Della Mattia said, is Singh himself.
"He's a really good campaigner. He's energetic. He's enthusiastic. He loves doing this," she told the Star on Friday outside the NDP's campaign office in Port Alberni. "We couldn't wait for the campaign to start."
When it finally did start, in early September, the NDP appeared to have a rough road to voting day. Annual fundraising returns had tanked from more than $18 million in 2015 — when the party was the official opposition in the House of Commons — to just $5 million last year. Several high profile incumbents, like B.C.'s Nathan Cullen and Quebec's Hélène Laverdière, had decided not to run again, and the party lagged in filling a roster of candidates for the coming campaign.
There were also questions about Singh himself, who had stumbled repeatedly in the early months of his leadership, sometimes appearing ignorant of his own party's policies as he tried to lead the NDP caucus for more than a year without his own seat in the Commons.
Farouk Karim, who was press secretary to Singh's predecessor as NDP leader, Thomas Mulcair, said the struggles that Singh appeared to endure may have given him an advantage in disguise: he entered the federal campaign this fall with low expectations.
This "allowed Singh to introduce himself for the first half of the campaign without being a threat and therefore without attacks from his opponents," Karim said. "It also allowed Singh to make a very good impression to Canadians who might have written him off because of the negative chatter on the party."
Della Mattia believes the seeds of the NDP's momentum were sown in the early days of the campaign as Singh hammered a message of contrast, with the NDP on one side and the Liberals and Conservatives on the other. At the first debate in early September, which Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau skipped, she said Singh tried to show that he's preoccupied with everyday Canadians by citing examples of their struggles to afford prescription drugs or find housing.
Lorne Bozinoff, president of the polling firm Forum Research, said he believes a turning point for the NDP was Singh's emotional reaction to images of Trudeau in brownface and blackface. After Singh listened to Trudeau's first apology that night, he decided to make a late-night statement urging people of colour not to "give up on Canada, and please don't give up on yourselves."
"That got people looking at him and listening to him," Bozinoff said. "He was very, very compelling."
Della Mattia said the reaction was pure Singh. "He reacted with such humanness and it was super raw … It was just what he was feeling and thinking at the time."
But rather than being the turning point, Singh's campaign co-chair sees the moment as one of several through the campaign that set the stage for the recent lift in the polls. In Grassy Narrows, Singh shot down a question about spending unspecified amounts of money on Indigenous infrastructure and social services by asking whether resources would be a concern if Vancouver or Toronto didn't have access to clean water. He was generally seen to have performed well in the official campaign debates, and flared on social media with a viral "Tik Tok" meme video.

"What I said all along … it doesn't happen right away," said Della Mattia. "It takes five to 10 days to percolate into the consciousness of dental hygienists with two teenage boys."
On Friday, as Singh toured Vancouver Island, he was questioned — as he has been all week — about how the New Democrats will handle a minority parliament, given that they've ruled out supporting the Conservatives in any way. He refused to say whether he would try to defeat a Conservative minority before it tries to scrap the federal carbon price, or whether he would make the cancellation of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion — a key priority for federal New Democrats — a condition for supporting the Liberals.
But regardless of what happens when votes are counted Monday, Della Mattia argued that the NDP campaign has already succeeded. Singh could be the kingmaker in a hung parliament, just weeks after many questioned whether the NDP would even retain official party status in the House.
"Despite the smaller budget than the other parties, our campaign has actually looked better and been stronger," she said. "I don't think there's anything I could say we would do differently."
Singh won't confirm if he would trigger snap election
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has been unequivocal in saying he would not help the Conservatives to form a government in the event that no party wins a majority, but he won't say if that means he'd be willing to trigger a snap election.
Opinion polls suggest many progressive voters remain undecided with only three days left until election day. They also suggest the Liberals and Conservatives remain locked in a tie among decided voters, and that Singh's New Democrats remain in third place, but have made significant gains since the election began.
The numbers look increasingly like there could be a minority government.
Singh has been firm in saying he would be unwilling to prop up a Conservative minority government. While campaigning in British Columbia Friday, he reiterated his stance, saying he would be willing to work with any of the other parties in a potential minority scenario, including the Liberals, but never with the Conservatives.
"We're not going to support a Conservative minority government. We're not going to support in any way Mr. Scheer being put into the prime minister's seat," Singh said in Port Alberni.
"That's something that we've ruled out entirely, unequivocally."
However, when questioned by reporters whether this means he would be willing to trigger a snap election if the Conservatives win the most seats but not a majority, Singh remained vague.

"What they should know is the Liberals have let you down and the more New Democrats you vote for in this election … we're going to form government. But if you vote for enough of us either way we're going to fight for the priorities we put forward."
The Liberals have spent much of the campaign warning Canadians against voting for the NDP or Greens, arguing that to do so would split the progressive vote and let the Conservatives, who have promised to eliminate the carbon tax and cut federal spending, take power.
Singh has used every public appearance — rallies, stump speeches, whistle stops, media interviews — in the last week encouraging voters not to fall for this push for strategic voting. He calls them Liberal scare tactics aimed at keeping themselves in power.
He has also added an another detail in his messaging over the last 24 hours — expressing disappointment at Green Leader Elizabeth May for saying she would be willing to work with the Conservatives in a minority government.
May's own riding includes the southern tip of Vancouver Island and some polls suggest her party has been doing well in a number of ridings in the province that the NDP hope to capture.
On Friday, Singh pointed to abortion and same-sex marriage — issues Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has struggled to stickhandle politically due to statements he has made saying he is personally against both — as key reasons he has absolutely ruled out working with the Conservatives.
"Ms. May hasn't done that and that's one of the big differences," Singh said.
"We don't think you can negotiate with a woman's right to choose, with same-sex marriage, with services."
Conservative views on abortion and same-sex marriage also landed Singh an unexpected ally on Friday.
Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley said she will vote for the NDP candidate in her riding, despite disagreements with the federal party on energy policy.
Notley released a statement saying she was not planning to take a public position on the federal election, but the prospect of a Conservative minority government backed by the separatist Bloc Quebecois has her deeply concerned for the future of the country.
She criticized Scheer's plans to roll back action on climate change and cut spending, as well as anti-choice, homophobic and xenophobic views within his party.
That's why she said she is endorsing the NDP candidate in her riding of Edmonton Strathcona, Heather McPherson — the only candidate she believes can beat the Conservatives there.
Notley, a former Alberta premier, has clashed with Singh over the Trans Mountain oil pipeline and other energy issues.
They still don't see eye-to-eye on these issues, "nor has my resolve to challenge him on these matters," Notley said Friday. "However, it is also my view that there is no parliamentary makeup that will allow Mr. Singh to assert those views."
Later at a rally in Victoria that drew an overflow crowd of more than 800 people, Singh got a more ringing endorsement from B.C. Premier John Horgan.

The New Democrat premier, who presides over one of three provincial minority governments in Canada, joked to the crowd that he feels an excitement about the party that he's not felt in a few years — referencing the NDP's electoral breakthrough in B.C.
"It was as if the mainstream media didn't know he existed and now everyone in Canada knows the most compassionate, hardest working person on the ballot is Jagmeet Singh," Horgan said.
Horgan also tried to counter concerns about the increasing possibility of a minority government in Ottawa.
"I'm here to tell British Columbians who know this, but most importantly Canadians: fear not a minority government. Celebrate a minority government."
