Bob Dylan, Elton John and Queen Highlight Record Store Day Releases
Record Store Day, the annual event celebrating independently owned brick-and-mortar music outlets, has unveiled its list of this year's limited-edition releases.
With nearly 400 (mostly) vinyl options available, there's seemingly something for every music fan.
Some of the many artists contributing work include Bob Dylan, Prince, Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, Peter Gabriel, Elton John, John Lennon, Roxy Music, R.E.M. the Rolling Stones and many more.
"We've got amazing support from all the labels again this year," proclaimed Record Store Day co-founder Michael Kurtz. "It's sort of separate from the music business in general, which is pretty much all streaming now, with some effort being put into vinyl."
One of the most anticipated items is Dylan's Blood on the Tracks — Original New York Test Pressing. The LP is being billed as "an exact duplicate of those original test pressings" of the singer-songwriter's landmark 1975 album. Dylan famously went back into a Minneapolis studio and re-recorded half the material for the original LP. Though much of what was on the 1974 test pressing was included in last fall's More Blood, More Tracks box, the Record Store Day exclusive promises "unique mixes available for the first time ever."
Continuing to ride their Bohemian Rhapsody wave of success, Queen will unveil a picture disc of the Oscar-winning film's soundtrack for Record Store Day. Separately, an exclusive single will see the band's surviving members collaborating with the Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins and, posthumously, the Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson.
The Flaming Lips will use Record Store Day to release their 15th studio album, King's Mouth, as a special 12" solid gold vinyl. The album marks the band's first new music since 2017. The LP's 12 original songs are tied together by narration from the Clash's Mick Jones. Those who don't score one of the 4,000 LPs released on Record Store Day will have to wait until July to purchase the album.
Exclusive live albums have become a Record Store Day tradition, and this year's crop looks especially strong. Elton John's Live From Moscow, recorded during the singer's visit to the then-USSR in 1979, is being released for the first time on any format. This year's Record Store Day ambassador, Pearl Jam will celebrate with the first-time vinyl release of Live at Easy Street Records. The original was released on CD to indie stores 14 years ago and quickly went out of print.
Elsewhere, U2 will unleash a new live EP for Record Store Day, culled from their recent Experience tour. The Rolling Stones will release a limited-edition 10'' one-sided, colored vinyl single featuring "She's a Rainbow" recorded during a 2017 performance at the U Arena in Paris. And while R.E.M. aren't officially on the list, the band will release Live at the Borderline 1991 under the name Bingo Hand Job.
Other live releases of note include Dio's Last in Line (live), Billy Joel Live at Carnegie Hall 1977 and the Ramones Live at the Palladium.
Those looking for "alternative" versions of classic LPs will have some amazing artists to choose from. John Lennon, Van Morrison and Fleetwood Mac will all release material derived from previous CD boxed sets — Imagine, Astral Weeks and Fleetwood Mac, respectively. Meanwhile, Pink Floyd will provide a rare mono version of their 1968 album A Saucerful of Secrets. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young will also get in on the act, delivering a three-LP expanded edition of their hit 1971 live album 4 Way Street.
Two late, great icons will be adding to their respective catalogs. Prince has two releases coming on Record Store Day. One is a two-LP set called His Majesty's Pop Life; the other a cassette-only release titled Prince: The VERSACE Experience. The latter is a replication of a tape that was given to attendees at a 1995 fashion show, featuring exclusive tracks and remixes.
Meanwhile, a reissue of David Bowie's late-'60s compilation The World of David Bowie will be released, along with a picture disc of the Pin-Ups album and a split single alongside his Just a Gigolo costar Marlene Dietrich.
Upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Roxy Music will deliver a double 12" containing remixes that were previously planned for the recent box set commemorating the band's debut album.
Mastodon will release a limited 10" vinyl covering Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven." The single is dedicated to Mastodon's manager, Nick John, who died in September.
Other artists represented with new or previously issued material: Def Leppard, Alice Cooper, Eric Clapton, Jethro Tull, Robert Plant, the Police, Rush, Santana, the Doors and Motorhead.
Record Store Day is April 13. Details on all of the releases, including a full list of titles and participating stores can be found here.

STEVE COUCH CARTOONS - Absurd, Amusing Animations!
To his secret shame, Steve Couch loves to watch cartoons.
He loves pretty much all cartoons - from classic MGM, Warner Brothers and Fleischer Brother toons to Spongebob, Adventuretime and Simpsons.
And he has invested the long hours necessary to create animations for his stupid songs so people with short attention spans (like him) who are fascinated by bright colors and noises can watch too!

RMS refers to Root Mean Square which is a typical measurement of audio power, or rather, the electrical power transferred from an audio amplifier to a loudspeaker, which is measured in watts. The amount of electrical power delivered to the loudspeaker and its sensitivity determines the sound power that is generated. Essentially, amplifiers are limited by the electrical energy they can amplify and loudspeakers by the electrical energy they can convert into sound energy, without distorting the audio signal. The higher the wattage, the better the sound power emitted by the speaker.
Smartly designed spring-loaded docking port effortlessly accommodates any iPod or iPhone, without special adaptors. What's more, it works even when most protective cases are on – just dock your iPod or iPhone as it is. Now you can truly have fuss-free enjoyment of your music.

To go or not to go
When spending our holiday in The Cotswolds last year, we had doubts whether to visit Stratford upon Avon or not. We heard stories about bus loads of tourists brought into town, to pay homage to William Shakespeare. The realisation that we would be part of the crowd, did not really appeal to us. Nevertheless, the fact that our holiday cottage was close to Stratford, made it too good an opportunity to miss.
So it was that at half past seven in the morning, we were among the first visitors at the car park near the river Avon. While the girls enjoyed a guided tour of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, we had a pleasant walk to Anne Hathaway's cottage in the little hamlet of Shottery
Anne Hathaway's Cottage is a thatched farmhouse with stunning grounds and gardens, where the once young William Shakespeare courted his future wife. The garden is absolutely delightful, with masses of flowers, fruit, vegetables and herbs. It looks like the plants are thrown in carelessly, but it all works beautifully. To me this garden is a fine example of a quintessential English cottage garden. We liked the tour of the house. The lady who showed us around and told us about life in Elizabethan times, a joy to listen to.
Our visit to the house and garden inspired us to take up Shakespeare once more. Bad memories of obligatory reading lists, last minute exam stress and horrible dreams of witches, complot's against kings, jealousy and hatred belong to the past. We are into comedies now :-)
Have a lovely weekend,

Hooked !
Hooked, that's what I am, completely hooked to crochet :-) The last couple of evenings were spent on the couch, with pastel coloured yarn around me and a crocheting needle in my hand.
I recently bought a book, 100 snowflakes to crochet, which I quite enjoy. Some flakes look more like a doily, but that is probably because I am a relatively new to crochet and don't know the right stitches and patterns yet. I wish my grandmother could see me. She would have loved it!!
Finally my granny square plaid is looking the way I want to :-). I used the slip stitch to crochet the granny squares together, which worked very well. I still have a long way to go, but I can already drape the plaid over a couch or bed. Hurray!
In between work and crochet, I visited several thrift shops in and around Rotterdam. My eldest daughter, who moved out last week, was in need of some furniture and home ware. When you live on a student budget, the thrift store is the place to go. She found some lovely glassware, vases and a sweet little cupboard from the seventies.
Off course my eyes were drawn to a collection of floral teacups :-). They are so very very pretty! The soft winter light shining on the tiny pastel coloured roses, makes them look magical!
Do you have any plans for this weekend? When you live in an around Rotterdam, I can recommend the exhibition 'The road to Van Eyck' in the Boymans van Beuningen. It shows paintings of the low countries in the early Middle Ages. The exhibition is quite unique, because the paintings on display are the only ones that survived from this period. Most of the works have an eclectic theme. I thought I would not like it, but I was wrong. It's amazing to see how the use of colour and the way to paint 'light' evolved. The exhibition is on until the 10th of February.
Tomorrow my youngest daughter and I will be doing some DIY. More about that soon.
Love from a cold and (snow) white Holland!

Garden highlights
This must be my favourite post of the year! If only for the pleasure it gave me to browse through twelve months of garden delights. The photo's make me think about the coming gardening season too. What shall I do with the garden? Leave it the way it is? I was happy the way it looked last year. I think my decision to change the vegetable patch into a cutting garden was a good one. All those bouquets I took home with me :-)
My gardening books are out of the cupboard once more. My head full of ideas. How about you?
Thank you for the sweet messages you left on my last post. They helped and made me realise how fortunate I am to have you as my followers. A big kiss to you all!
Have a lovely weekend!

The Office, "Moroccan Christmas": Tra la la la la, ka-ching
"I think I know what I need to do at this point. I need to find ways to push Meredith to the bottom. I think I can do it. I did it with Jan." -Michael
"The Office" didn't do a Christmas episode in its brief first season, which debuted in the spring, and it didn't do one last year because of the strike. But man oh man oh man, the three times that they've been able to do a Christmas episode, they killed it.
"Moroccan Christmas" not only featured what seemed like the best Dunder-Mifflin party of all time -- at least until Meredith lit her hair on fire -- but featured consistent hilarity mixed in with some of the sharpest emotion we've ever gotten from a non Jim & Pam story.
This was a triumphant episode for Phyllis and Dwight, and a humbling one for Angela and Meredith and, unbeknown to himself, Andy.
Phyllis got to prove that she deserved the Party Planning Committee leadership even without blackmail, and got to make Angela her prag (to borrow a bit of "Oz" slang), deliberately snuffing out all the parts of the Christmas party that Angela enjoys (the tree, the nativity figurines), and even forcing her to wear a hairnet. And when Angela attempted to call Phyllis' bluff, Phyllis hesitated for maybe a second before blurting out the news to the whole office. And then her moment of victory turned into a moment of great shame as she realized how badly she had just hurt Andy (again, not that Andy knows -- yet) in a very human moment that "The Office" does so well. I continue to be amazed that Phyllis Smith had no real acting experience before this show, other than reading lines as a casting director. She's wonderful, and every bit the equal of all the trained actors and comics in the cast.
Dwight, after falling victim to one of Jim's best pranks ever (more on that below), got to make a very tidy profit with his doll-hoarding scheme, had the entire office (save Andy, Michael and Meredith) learn of his cocksmanship, and got two of his better talking heads in a while (zombie-killing and the Schrute family "five-fingered intervention," complete with punching). Rainn Wilson's smirk as the office digested the news of the affair was superb.
Phyllis spilling the beans on Andy's cuckolding -- Should we start a pool on who breaks it to him, and when? -- upstaged the Meredith intervention story, but I loved that one, too. This was Michael dialed in just right: you could see that he really did care about getting help for Meredith, but that he was clueless about how to properly do it, and yet not so loudly inept that anyone other than Toby would have tried to stop him. And the foot chase in the rehab center parking lot, with Meredith screaming "WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE!" over and over and trying to evade Michael's grasp, was a great piece of slapstick.
Some other thoughts:
• Poor Toby. Not only does Michael throw a pen in his face, but he winds up having to double-pay for a doll that his daughter might not want. True story: I took my daughter to Toys R Us a few months ago to buy presents for a classmate I didn't know very well, with the only instructions being "She likes Barbies." My daughter makes a beeline for the Barbie aisle, tosses a white Ken-as-groom doll into the cart, and then grabs an African-American Barbie-as-bride. If they were for my daughter, or for someone I knew better, I would have headed right to the register, but instead I had a Toby-by-way-of-Liz-Lemon moment, wussed out and swapped in a Totally Caucasian Barbie. Everyone's a little bit racist, sometimes, right? Right?
• So how long do you suppose it took Jim -- possibly with Pam's help -- to create a paper-and-cardboard gift-wrapped simulacrum not only of Dwight's desk, but of all the things on it, like the bobble-head? And should we be glad that he's gone back to these elaborate pranks, or sad that he's backslid after swearing a couple of seasons ago that he was done with them?
• Pam was mostly reacting to what was happening, but I loved her talking head insistence that she knew all along about the new Angela/Dwight affair, and that she had to invoke the Christmas spirit to get Jim to play along.
• Better throwaway moment during the party: Creed smoking a hookah, or Michael thinking he had invented the Screwdriver?
• Kevin's love of nicknaming other people -- and his lack of creativity in same -- goes on as he attempts to dub Meredith "Fire Girl" (in the grand tradition of Ryan as "Fire Guy," and then "Fired Guy," and then "Hired Guy"), only to realize that it might be too soon.
• Even before Phyllis revealed his humiliation to the entire office, I felt pretty sorry for Andy as he went through that talking head about his college years, which involved sneaking into frat parties, doing body shots off himself, and the ever-changing list of nicknames (Puke, Ace, Buzz), which sounded so made up on the spot that I'm now starting to doubt all previous Andy nickname stories. Is it possible that Here Comes Treble doesn't include someone named Broccoli Rob? That would make me sad. But kudos to Ed Helms and the writers for making a character who was so overbearing so sympathetic (largely by emphasizing the "pathetic").
What did everybody else think?

I am sorry, but I thought this one paled in comparison to season 2's "Christmas Party". There were a few funny moments, but this just highlighted how far this show has fallen since, what I think may have the peak of season 2/3.
- 12:02 PM, December 12, 2008
Don't forget "I will not be the guy with the big head and the small hat" with the cut to Kevin.

"Christmas Party" is probably one of the five best episodes in the show's history, so falling short of that standard (which I thought last night's episode did) probably isn't that big a deal.
I liked it quite a bit (Dwight's interviews--as you mentioned--were absolutely hilarious; Creed having a connection inside the fire department, etc.), but was way too bummed out post-Phyllis's reveal to truly enjoy the last five minutes. I've always found the Dwight-Angela-Andy storyline to be really sad (it might work if Andy and Dwight switched roles, since I always end up pitying Helms, but rarely feel that way about Wilson). All of that said, The Office really is killing it this season. (I chalk a lot of this up to them not having to do hour long eps this time around.) Very impressive.
Surprised you were disappointed with 30 Rock, Alan. I was laughing the whole time... - 12:08 PM, December 12, 2008

Different Kristin here....I liked it. Most especially for the fact that we got a lot of Phyllis and Meredith...two characters who typically don't even get more than one line an episode.
I loved how Phyllis enjoyed making Angela's life hell with her party planning! The full bar, no tree, no nativity scene. Hilarious.
Meredith's drunken dancing cracked me up, too. The funny thing is, Michael was right--Meredith does need an intervention. He just had no clue how to do one. My favorite was the questionnaire which included things about the Mormon Church. - 12:09 PM, December 12, 2008
- olucy said...
Yeah, I needed 30 Rock after this episode. Or I at least needed a drink.
This was a roller coaster for me, but more dips than heights. Loved the Phyllis/Angela showdown and thank gawd the secret is out. That storyline was starting to smell like 4-day-old fish. But it's out at what cost? Poor Andy! That was painful.
Also painful: a big part of the intervention (it went on too long) and Meredith's repeated insistance that she's not an alcoholic. And watching Michael trying to drag her, screaming, from the car. In fact, the show's insistance that we laugh at her alcoholism. That made me uncomfortable.
Not to say it didn't have its funny moments, though. After being asked to share how her alcoholism affected everyone else, Kevin's response about Meredith giving him the movie tix when she was too drunk to go being "awesome" was vintage Kevin and so funny, because it so missed the point. - 12:15 PM, December 12, 2008
Ack, Blogger ate my post! Anyway, loved the ep, loved Michael realizing he couldn't force Meredith into rehab as security escorted them out, loved Phyllis humiliating Angela (about time, too). Felt very sorry for poor Andy not realizing why no one was reacting to him playing "Deck The Halls." And I pick Creed and the hookah as the better throwaway bit.
I think either Kevin inadvertently or Creed deliberately tells Andy about Angela and Dwight. Or maybe some combination of Kevin hinting around about it and Oscar or Creed getting annoyed with Andy's guessing and just blurting it out to him. It's going to be ugly, regardless. - 12:16 PM, December 12, 2008
I don't know, but for some reason this episode I thought was just too much of a downer. I mean, besides Dwight, it was pretty much 30 minutes of terrible things happening to people. Did anyone else think they went too far with 3 depressing plot lines in one episode?
I think maybe with all the heavy handed rehab stuff, they could've waited on doing the Angela-Dwight reveal. And when Toby basically started crying at the end, I got completely bummed out.
I saved 30 Rock on my DVR until tonight because I didn't want this Office episode to make 30 Rock seem any less funny. - 12:20 PM, December 12, 2008
- Kenrick said...
I thought this episode was great. So many LOL moments and yet moments of great sadness. I felt so bad for Toby I couldn't even laugh when he was handed the doll. Not true. I did laugh. And then felt really bad.
I was kinda disappointed with Phyllis and to what extent she was "blackmailing" Angela. It went from being slight revenge to just being really mean and I thought it hurt her character for that.
Very surprised that she outed Angela and Dwight - I didn't expect her to back up her threat. Even though it hurt Angela, in the end, Andy should know.
So that leads to... poor Andy. His reaction to everyone's non reaction to his music playing and well wishes was hilarious. - 12:23 PM, December 12, 2008
Save Toby's big scene, this episode was awful, and I'm usually a staunch defender of the Office. Almost every joke fell flat. All I could hear during the intervention was the sound of the writers choking. And Meredith's over-the-top antics in the rehab parking lot was something out of a bad MadTV sketch.
- 12:23 PM, December 12, 2008

I could see Kevin letting the Dwight/Angela "secret" slip in his doofus-like way. But I also think Kelly will have a hard time keeping this in.

Oscar has to be the one who tells Andy after their bonding in Canada.
- 12:29 PM, December 12, 2008
I thought this was a great episode. Not sure what those of you who didn't like it were smoking (hookah?) but it was hysterical!
- 12:41 PM, December 12, 2008
I enjoyed the ep. Loved Angela thinking she had successfully bullied Phyllis but then Phyllis called her bluff. Loved the Michael/Meredith chase in the parking lot. Jim's prank was top-notch, and the talking head with Jim and Pam was great.
The reveal about Dwight and Angela made me a bit sad for Andy. I hope he gets his revenge in a big way.
y daughter makes a beeline for the Barbie aisle, tosses a white Ken-as-groom doll into the cart, and then grabs an African-American Barbie-as-bride.
Not sure what I would've done in your shoes, Alan, but I think this story says great things about your daughter. - 12:43 PM, December 12, 2008
- Jon Weisman said...
I thought it was a great episode. It seemed obvious to me that Angela was going to tell Andy that night, but perhaps I'm dead wrong. But I'm prepared for Andy to have already found out the news the next time we see him.

All of you, google princess unicorn!
They made a site devoted to the doll!!!
It is hilarious!! - 12:50 PM, December 12, 2008

Point of fact: stabbing a zombie in the brain with a wooden stick isn't actually the most satisfying way to kill a zombie. Decapitation with a single strike from a katana is.
Dwight's character really should have known this. - 12:54 PM, December 12, 2008

I just could not get into this one for the life of me - and I blame the Intervention story.
I liked most everything else, but the Intervention story was just so pointlessly shoe-horned in. It felt like the result of a last minute brainstorming session of "Obnoxious things Michael could do," and all of the actual "jokes" about Michael's strategy with the intervention were derivative. Instead, it was played entirely for comedy, which in an episode where human tragedy was displayed so well felt more than a little bit off.
This isn't to say that parts weren't funny: Michael's "I have a deposit - an alcoholic?" was fantastic, and the aforementioned slapstick made me chuckle. But in an episode where there was already so much human drama during that party, I would have much rather they have left Meredith alone and allowed more of the supporting cast to take part in that party.
Phyllis and Angela's storyline was more than enough to anchor this episode: Smith demonstrated some true acting chops, Kinsey was good as always, and there was no need for the Intervention on top of it. This was the real storyline: stark humanity, tragedy, sitars. I thought the episode could have done more with Andy than return him to obnoxious and one-note in an effort to make the ending more artificially sad and pathetic, but it offered the episode's best storyline regardless.
As for the rest of it: loved Toby's storyline, loved the cold open, but just found this one made some decisions that kept me from really enjoying it. - 12:54 PM, December 12, 2008
I agree with Jon that I think Angela will tell Andy off camera between now and the next episode and we'll just see reaction shots. Similar to how we didn't see Jim and Karen break up but only hear their stories after-the-fact.

Alan, the story of your daughter reminds me of the Lucky Louie episode where Louie CK's daughter is given an African American barbie and starts crying and then Louie is busted by the neighbors throwing it out.
- 12:59 PM, December 12, 2008
Overall, I thoroughly enjoys this episode -- I laughed for 2 minutes straight at the Jim wrapped "desk" gag...OMG...that was so funny! Michael thinking he invented a screwdriver (ok...WHO didn't first try those as their very first drink? LOL), his "One of everything", Meredith dancing, Dwight hoarding dolls, evil bossy Phyllis, Kelly texting during Meredith's intervention...it goes on and on.
But I have to say this...the rehab parking lot scene, while played for laughs, just made me cringe. It was one of those Curb Your Enthusiasm-type, uber-cringe-worthy moments that are so uncomfortable. I said to my husband when we were watching it, "This is how I feel watching Larry David sometimes...I just want to reach through the TV and strangle him!" - 1:04 PM, December 12, 2008
This post is just going to end up being a drag, but...
I get the conundrum of Alan's story above his daughter and the Barbies. I don't even think I'd have a problem with this if it were for a family member, or one of my nieces or nephews, but I'd feel a little odd doing this for my kids' random classmates.
And I get that it's a little funny Tobey forked out $400 for the doll, but the ridiculous cost aside, I don't think it's THAT unusual today for kids to have multiracial dolls. Is it? The idea that Tobey would rather give the doll to charity than give it to his daughter strikes me as over the top. (and this is stupidly off topic since that was suggested on the Princess Unicorn site, not by the episode itself) - 1:14 PM, December 12, 2008

I'm always a little amazed that people are taken aback by cringe moments in The Office. I mean, they've been doing this for five seasons now. Those moments are part of the show's DNA.

"The idea that Tobey would rather give the doll to charity than give it to his daughter strikes me as over the top. (and this is stupidly off topic since that was suggested on the Princess Unicorn site, not by the episode itself)"
Anon, check the site again. There's also a response from a girl who says she got a doll from BOTH her mom and dad (presumably Tobey's daughter) which presumably leads to Tobey giving his doll to charity because, once again, he was one-upped by his ex-wife. I'm not sure the race of the doll was the reason. - 1:30 PM, December 12, 2008
I found that parking lot scene to be somewhat disturbing. I'm hard-pressed to say why exactly; all I know is I just wanted it to be over as quickly as possible.
- 1:51 PM, December 12, 2008
This one should go down in the anals of Office History.
I only wished this could have aired after 30 Rock last night to wash the taste of schmaltz out of my mouth. As much as I love 30 Rock, they could learn a bit from the writers here on how to NAIL a Christmas episode. - 2:06 PM, December 12, 2008
Kevin's 'Fire Girl' comment was the highlight for me. Too perfect
- 2:29 PM, December 12, 2008
Though "Morrocan Christmas" was great. Perfect mixture of cringe, laughs and emotion.
For me the best epis are the ones where you almost can't look at the screen because the behavior is so embarassing, yet on second viewing you are rolling.
Parking lot scene was almost a COPS outtake, which made it all the more uncomfortable and hilarious.
Loved Michael knowing the Unicorn Princess JINGLE! Someones been spending to much time on Nickelodeon....

" Is it possible that Here Comes Treble doesn't include someone named Broccoli Rob?"
As a Cornellian, I want to note that there are annoying witty a capella groups at Cornell. Andy's names for them are almost accurate. At least when I was there 92-86 there was Nothing But Treble, Cayuga's Waiters, Class Notes, and the Hangovers among a few others. - 2:51 PM, December 12, 2008
Let's say I was a first time viewer of the Office during this episode, what would I think? The conclusion I would draw is that this office is full of mean people. One person in the office is treating another like a slave during a party. Another person is handling a serious problem completly in the wrong fashion. Another person is cheating on a fiancee behiend his back. Dwight and Jim's pranks and money making oppurtunity are harmless compared to the other horrible things occuring in the office.
Now I have watched a majority of the show and understand the humor but I thought this episdoe was just people being mean to each other without comedic reasoning. If your going to make fun of alcholism let South Park or E S in Phili take a shot at it. Since the strike I have been looking for a reason to give up the show and this episode did it for me. - 3:04 PM, December 12, 2008
While this wasn't the best Office episode ever, it still had its funny moments. I know humor is subjective, but this wasn't an obviously horrible episode. Awkward and a bit cruel at times, but it wouldn't be the first time.
Since the strike I have been looking for a reason to give up the show and this episode did it for me.
Well I hear Grey's is having a stellar season. You should check it out. - 3:18 PM, December 12, 2008
I loved that Michael said they couldn't do the intervention on Groundhogs Day because he "celebrates privately."
Also loved the fact that Meredith named off like 46 bars and then said the one Michael named "must have just opened."
The guy coming in during the intervention and not knowing if he was in the right place before throwing up the horn on his forehead was hilarious too. - 3:48 PM, December 12, 2008
- Nicole said...
I didn't have a problem with Phyllis being mean to Angela, because Angela has always been mean, and is the one cheating on Andy, so I really don't feel too sorry for her. Also, the spitting out of the Ramadan cookie, just confirmed that she is a little bit racist too. I would say that Toby's situation was a little bit different because he just assumed that he was getting a white Princess Unicorn doll and kids can be picky about fad toys.
I have checked out the website and I love the pictures of the girls posing with the dolls, where the unicorn is dangerously close to poking an eye out. Every parents nightmare.
The parking lot scene was awkward, but it's not that different from other Office antics, and is probably akin to what the UK Office would have done. There were definitely some laugh out loud moments for me, and while I feel sorry for Andy, I really don't for Angela or Dwight (who smirked the whole time anyway), so it's probably good for this to be out in the open and move on. - 3:59 PM, December 12, 2008
I really missed Jim's pranks. I laughed a little too loud and a little too long for this one. Yep, I loved it and I hope there are more in future episodes.
- 4:04 PM, December 12, 2008
Snoozer ... worst of the season.
- 5:15 PM, December 12, 2008
How does Andy find out? My guess is that he begins to suspect something when Kevin starts calling him "Cuckold Guy"........
For some reason, the fake desk was just explosively funny to me. I laughed till it hurt.
I completely understand some people not liking this episode, but I thought it was brilliant in a jaw-dropping, "I-can't-believe-they're-doing-this" kind of way. I was thinking early on, in the first few minutes of the party, "They're starting this one where most episodes would end..." And they just kept pushing things from there on...
I loved moments like Michael getting ready to leave the office and asking Toby for the rehab number---Played so straight, and then hitting him in the head with the pen. And the end, with Andy playing the song, was a great example of just how strong this entire cast is. The looks on their faces.... - 6:02 PM, December 12, 2008
worst ep of the season
- 6:47 PM, December 12, 2008
I felt the same way as Uncle Ira - instead of the usual setup/party scenes/aftermath, the first act was a lot of shorter party moments and then they pushed forward from there. It felt fresh and they executed it well, so that helped make it a very strong episode.
Everything about Princess Unicorn, from Michael knowing the jingle to Toby's Liz Lemon-esque reaction to the doll he ends up with to the website, was absolutely hilarious. And the website has a higher proportion of funny testimonials from fans than one would normally expect to find on the internet. Well done Office fans!
If you thought this episode was excruciating, go back and re-watch Christmas Party from season 2. You wouldn't think so, but watching Michael finish his ruination of Yankee Swap by insulting Phyllis' handmade gift is excruciating compared to anything in Meredith's intervention (although it doesn't get much worse than the Dwight/Angela secret coming out).
And after Alan justifiably points out all the times Meredith ends up on the cutting room floor, it's great to see her get some great scenes, from the discussion in Michael's car to her antics before the fire. - 7:04 PM, December 12, 2008

We have no doubt that Andy has a capella buddies, since we heard them over the phone.

That wasn't directed at you, Alan, but at Eugene.

I loved this ep, and laughed out loud more than I have at any in recent memory. I thought the footrace was especially hilarious, closely followed by Dwight's "ka-ching" and the Jim/Pam talking head. And I just really loved all the stuff Phyllis pulled out for Moroccan Christmas - far more creative than most Office parties!

Who thought Michael was perhaps going to take Meredith to rehab after taking advantage of her. I am glad they didn;t go that route though.

I really enjoyed this episode.
I also get a lot out of the comments here.
When other people also like it, It's gratifying in that laughing-in-a-crowd way.
When they don't, it's a fascinating reminder of how open to interpretation everything is. Art is so subjective -- especially comedy. - 1:09 PM, December 13, 2008
I loved Phyllis' "outing" of Angela and Dwight for several reasons. The show set it up perfectly when it looked like Phyllis was backing down in the face of Angela's dismissal, then turned around and threw the punch that connected. Also, while I would 100% side with Phyllis over Angela because of how awfully Angela's always treated Phyllis when holding power, Phyllis hasn't always been the matronly sweetheart her appearance suggests (recall her snide comment to Pam about not siding with "whomever you're currently sleeping with" on sales leads) and the fact she has some steel in her came out throughout this episode--only to boomerang when Phyllis silently registered how badly this would eventually hurt poor, pathetic, clueless Andy. And last, I just like seeing hypocrites get the most poetic of justice, so having Angela of all people outed as a, um, woman of loose morals...richly deserved. Plus the closing scene was delightfully excruciating!
- 2:50 PM, December 13, 2008
The best line was when dwight doubted how a princess unicorn could ever exist - "how would that even happen? a king has sex with a unicorn? a man with a horn has sex with a royal horse?"
- 4:05 PM, December 13, 2008
My daughter makes a beeline for the Barbie aisle, tosses a white Ken-as-groom doll into the cart, and then grabs an African-American Barbie-as-bride. ... I had a Toby-by-way- of-Liz-Lemon moment, wussed out and swapped in a Totally Caucasian Barbie. Everyone's a little bit racist, sometimes, right? Right?
Maybe not racist, but certainly Ameri-centric to assume it was an African American doll. What term would you have used if you were in Britain? :)
I think a child would care that the 2 dolls were the same color as each other, less that they were the same color as herself. - 5:19 PM, December 13, 2008
I'm also a little taken aback by the people who found this show too mean, too bitter. As Jon Weisman said, this sharpness is in show's DNA, going back to the British version. I like that the American version is a bit kinder and gentler, but also that they occasionally go for the jugular.
- 5:30 PM, December 14, 2008
Like several others, I naturally compared this episode to "Christmas Party" and was disappointed. I think this episode was better than "Benihana Christmas," which dragged on insufferably, but it comes no where close to replicating the feeling of realism from the first party. A few tiny things that bothered me:
- The props at this party (all the pillows, hookah, food) and the full bar would have cost a fortune. How could DM Scranton have this kind of budget?
- What happened to the policy of "new alcohol at XMas parties" from season 2?
This episode, like most of them, did have its moments of cleverness (Princess Unicorn was great), but it's lacking the wonderful mix of drama, realism, and comedy from season 2. The Jim/Pam sexual tension did a great job of keeping this show grounded. Without that, it's become too heavy handed on the slap-stick and over-the-top Michael Scott antics that should have gotten him fired a few dozen times already (the forced intervention being just another example). But that's a more general criticism of this show rather than this episode. - 11:02 AM, December 15, 2008

Phyllis very well could have rented stuff.
- What happened to the policy of "new alcohol at XMas parties" from season 2?
Was that a corporate policy or an Angela policy? - 11:06 AM, December 15, 2008
- Maddy Lucas said...
I'm surprised people liked this episode, I thought it was just bizarre and it doesn't really feel like the writers are trying anymore.
Basically, this show should have been done after season 2. It's just dragging on. I don't know why we have to have season after season of shows that only needed to be one or two seasons. - 5:28 PM, December 15, 2008
Was that a corporate policy or an Angela policy?
I would assume a corporate policy since Toby immediately comments on it when Michael returns. - 12:43 PM, December 16, 2008
- Jill said...
I also thought the episode was half funny, half depressing. I'm confused by the writers making Andy such a dolt at first, and now so (sym)pathetic -- was this intentional?
As to Toby's story, I thought the same thing at first about the Testimonials including a story from a girl with divorced parents. However, her name is "Caitilin R." and we know from the Bring Your Daughter to Work Day episode that Toby's daughter is named Sasha (presumably Sasha F.).
I also don't think it's racist to be uncomfortable about the black doll. As a white person, I'd be fine with my kids having them, but also might feel like a poser or like we were trying too hard to be PC. - 4:32 PM, December 16, 2008
- Helene H. said...
Since the opening credits harked back to earlier seasons, at first I thought I was watching a rerun. That said, I thought this episode got it (mostly)right. Michael was recognizably human. Loved the line about his desire to drag Meredith to the bottom. I think Angela breaks up with Andy, but does not tell him the real reason(s). After all, in his eyes, she's probably still a virgin! I think he will find out the truth later on from either Oscar or perhaps Dwight himself. Then watch the fur fly!

Casper Steinfath Successfully Completes Viking Crossing
March 18, 2018, Hirtshals, Denmark – Entering the icy waters at 1 AM with his Naish Maliko 14'0", Casper Steinfath set off for redemption with the Viking Crossing 2.0.
After his first attempt in February 2017, completing the Viking Crossing is considered the greatest accomplishment for the four time ISA World Champion. He became the first in the world to paddle 147 kilometers (91.3 miles) across the Skagerrak Strait between Denmark and Norway. Three days after his body is still broken down..
Casper walks like an old man his arms are dead and his legs hurt. In fact his whole body hurts.
But the 24-year-old Danish Viking Casper Steinfath is happy, proud and powered up with long-lasting dopamine after he wrote history Sunday evening when he finally put his feet on Norwegian soil after 18 hours and 30 minutes of paddling from Hirtshals in Denmark to Kristiansand in Norway on his Naish Maliko.
"Crossing the wild Skagerrak as the first person ever on a SUP is something I am very proud of. It definitely took everything out of me to fulfill this dream of mine. But it feels really nice to be back home in Cold Hawaii again reflecting over the journey with family and friends," said Casper, safely back in Cold Hawaii three days after the trip.
NAISH Stand Up Paddling 2018
Naish heeft z'n 2018 SUP collectie online gezet, er staat heel wat moois op en een groot aanbod aan SUP FOIL. Check it out.... http://www.naishsurfing.com/

Tremendously versatile, the extruded alloy mast can be retrofitted to any style box system and comes premium padded cover to protect your foil. |
HOVER FOILBOARDSDeveloped for surf, downwind or open ocean swell-foiling, the Hover foilboards fit any 4-bolt foil setup with two 10" US boxes. Short and wide, the Hover is the ideal shape for foiling for its stable platform that is easy to control while foiling.

MALIKO CARBONRACE/DOWNWINDGrown out of the success of its predecessors, the Maliko 12'6" and 14'0" Carbon continue to evolve to become even faster and more forgiving than ever before. For 2018, the rocker has been tuned to better engage bumps during downwind runs resulting in faster acceleration and higher top speed. Additionally, the bevel in the nose has been moved back towards the center of the board, for a smooth-gliding shape that offers more volume, greater stability and the chop-eating efficiency needed for changing open-water conditions. |
MAD DOG CARBONPERFORMANCE WAVEPositioned between the accessible Hokua GTW and wider Hokua X32 series, Mad Dog Carbon boards are characterized by their significant volume and low profile rails. At 29" wide, these high-performance wave boards strike an excellent balance between stability and responsiveness and appeal to riders looking for heightened performance in a more accessible format.

Naish Malolo Foil VIDEO blog
... SUPBOARDMAG heeft een video gemaakt die hun eerste stappen op de NAish Malolo Foil beschrijft.... volhouden!. Mijn WAVE SUP Foil setje van F-One is onderweg... binnenkort zelf proberen.
Following on from the boat tow session and the downwind session with the Naish Malolo, Will and Reuben from SUPboarder went off in search of waves to give their first SUP surf foil session a go. The conditions were far from perfect on the day due to high winds but they found a small waist to chest high swell to get up on the foil for the first time. From zero to definitely not hero, Will found riding the foil in surf challenging, but the progression was quite quick. We hope you find the video blog of his first SUP surf foil session interesting, educational and a good laugh!
Reuben said : I was filming today and I really enjoyed watching (and laughing! ) But it does make you realise how safety conscious you have to be with a foil in the surf, with or without others in the line up. We went to a very quiet beach and the 3 surfers that were out knew what we were doing (and they enjoyed the laughs too). Most of the time Will was on his own peak well away from others, as you can see in the vid. A helmet is essential especially when in windy conditions. These foils are amazing pieces of kit but they need to be used with caution. You don't need big waves, but as Will found out, foot placement is paramount! Watching the nailings from the beach was just as much fun as watching him get up on the foil for the first time. Sorry for the shaky camera, it's hard to hold the camera steady when you are crying so much!! :-).

Mooie wave SUP actie van Naish rider Bernd Roedinger in Australië, met dit winters beeld een mooie droom....
Sea, turquoise liquid fades to a deep purple expanse as the evening light fades. An aromatic fragrance drifts through the senses, held aloft by the gentle western winds, Eucalyptus . Sun, the ancient seed, buried once more in the dirt that thirsts, for the coolness of night. Magnanimous time turns the stars above, me and my best friends walk home after a long day of fun, the Southern Cross crests the horizon. There's too much to say about this place, about, AUSTRALIA!

Find Peace with God
Gordon Robertson: What does it mean to be 'born again?'
More Teaching Sheets
More Prayer and Counseling
More from Spiritual Life
CBN.com -- One thing the world seems pretty certain about: Christianity is a killjoy, anti-sex religion. But this is a lie. Nothing in the Bible says that sex is wrong.
The Bible does hold the view that sex is such a mysterious and powerful thing that it ought to be subject to certain boundaries -- like marriage. The Bible views the body as something important -- something to be taken care of and used in God's service, not used as a sexual toy.
Put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don't be greedy for the good things of this life, for that is idolatry. God's terrible anger will come upon those who do such things. You used to do them when your life was still part of this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. Don't lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old evil nature and all its wicked deeds. In its place you have clothed yourselves with a brand-new nature that is continually being renewed as you learn more and more about Christ, who created this new nature within you.
Colossians 3:5-10
Did you notice in the preceding passage the words "You used to do them . . ."? This is a promise of forgiveness for people who dabbled in sexual sin. In the following quotation from 1 Corinthians, notes these important words "There was a time when some of you were just like that . . ."
Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers -- none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God. There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you.
Don't you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which belongs to Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don't you know that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, "The two are united into one." But the person who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
Run away from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 15-18
Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
Hebrews 13:4
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-21
Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God's people. Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes -- these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God. You can be sure that no immoral, impure, or greedy person will inherit the Kingdom of Christ and of God. For a greedy person is really an idolater who worships the things of this world. Don't be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of God comes upon all those who disobey him. Don't participate in the things these people do. For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it!
Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. But when the light shines on them, it becomes clear how evil these things are. This is why it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light."
Ephesians 5:3-8, 11-14
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful desires will harvest the consequences of decay and death. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
Galatians 6:8

There are even more beautiful ways to wear a large square shawl. As I promised I am continuing with my demonstrations using my 43″ square blue silk shawl with the 6″ hand tied fringe. Because I am showing more methods of styling this size and shape of shawl or scarf with this blue shawl I am continuing to identify them as part of the sequence of large blue shawl styles and they will be numbered as style # 6, #7,and #8 accordingly. You can find the previous styles in these former posts:
In an old original publicity shot for the movie The Tempest the great Scandinavian film actress Greta Garbo is wearing just such a long elegant evening shawl draped around her shoulders and pinned in place. The photo was taken shortly after her arrival in Hollywood. The studio was determined to capitalize on her exotic European elegance and extraordinary beauty to turn her into a top grossing international star. I searched and searched on the internet but could not find that photo to add to this post. I saw it years ago in a museum retrospective on her films and it has stuck in my memory ~ it was a full figure shot and she was leaning against a wrought iron wishing gate wrapped in a long shawl much like this one. Of course Garbo, in a lovely setting, wearing a beautiful vintage shawl shot by a professional Hollywood glamour photographer made a magnificent and alluring fashion photograph! In her honor I will name these three styles which she inspired after her!
Style #6) The Greta Garbo ~ Version A. Hold the shawl spread fully open. Fold the fringe of the shawl and about 2 inches of the top edge of the fabric forward so it will hang toward the inside facing the back of your neck. Place the folded edge of the long top side of the shawl at the middle of the back of your neck, bring it across your back and forward over your shoulders making sure the center is in the middle of your neck and back so both sides hang down in even equal lengths. Make sure the fringe is hanging straight. You have very simply draped the shawl evenly across your shoulders. This is the classic way to wear a large shawl in every country and every culture, for both warmth and graceful feminine beauty. It shows off the fabric, the design and style of the shawl, and the woman!
Style #7) The Greta Garbo ~Version B. Arrange the shawl as shown in Version A, Then bring both sides of the shawl together in the front and cross it over a bit in the center and clip it together in one or two areas to hold it firmly in place so that it doesn't slip off your shoulders and fall to the ground.
That's all there is to it! It is amazingly simple and lovely.
You can use one or more brooches or pins, a shawl clip or clips, a stick pin, or, as I did here, two vintage clip earrings. I have discovered that I can use clip earrings from the 1950's which are too big and heavy for me to wear on my ears as shawl, scarf and sweater clips! It is great to have another use for these earrings because many of them are very pretty.
These vintage clip earrings are made of blue butterfly wings used to create little tropical landscape pictures complete with palm trees and sunsets! Jewelry and other objects made of butterfly wings were popular souvenirs from South America in the 30's, 40's and 50's.
This is a good place to mention that I found this lovely large square fringed scarf/shawl at a thrift store for only $4! Isn't that amazing as well? I recommend looking for scarves and shawls on a regular basis at vintage stores and thrift shops. I think people get rid of them because they don't know how to wear them! Which is lucky for us who are willing to work with them and learn how to style and use them.
I have also realized that many different and interesting types of ethnic scarves and shawls become available on the second hand market. I think this happens when people get tired of things or think they are old fashioned. And when people immigrate to the United States or Europe, and want to wear the new contemporary clothing to fit in in their new homes, they often get rid of the ethnic styles and national costumes of their homeland!
Many lovingly handmade scarves and shawls are also given away or gotten rid of. I have found an East Indian sari, silk scarves from occupied Japan, a Ukranian shawl, a handwoven Tibetan silk scarf, an embroidered Spanish shawl, a French Leonard of Paris designer silk scarf, four British Liberty of London scarves, an Italian silk scarf, 3 Italian Missoni designer scarves, a hand knitted traditional Irish scarf, a Mexican rabosa shawl, an Indonesian batik sarong scarf, an Estonian hand knitted lace shawl, a hand made Breton lace scarf, a Scottish cashmere shawl, an old East Indian paisley shawl, a Russian flowered wool challis shawl, a Thai silk stole, a mink fur stole, a British wool and cashmere muffler from Burberry of London, several American designer mufflers, a Spanish mantilla, and many more in second hand and thrift shops! I am often happy to rescue a beautiful ethnic textile or a handmade or historical vintage piece! I realize I have accumulated a pretty good collection of beautiful and historical international scarf styles which is why I am now completely committed to learning how to wear them all!
For me, and many other women, scarves are purely fashion and style statements – beautiful expressions of the art of femininity! I was initially interested in them as textiles and clothing and only later realized they were not only means of expressing oneself fashionably and artistically, but also embodied complex social, philosophical, cultural and religious issues and beliefs. I learned that these squares, rectangles and triangles of cloth often represent much more than geometric shapes or beautiful ways to drape the body or set off your face. And I will write more about that at a later time.
I also noticed, in artists renderings, that many great beauties of history have often been draped in flattering shawls and scarves! Queen Cleopatra is beautifully draped in artists portraits. Helen of Troy as well! The notoriously beautiful Spanish dancer, Lola Montez, was wearing a magnificent Chinese embroidered piano shawl with long silk fringe when I "met her" in the photographic portrait gallery of the Metropolitain Museum of Art in New York City. I first discovered her and developed an interest in her when I viewed her portrait on exhibit there! The modern dancer Isadora Duncan was also famous for wearing her reconstructed versions of draped Grecian style dresses and trademark blue shawls.
The list of glamorous and beautiful women in shawls goes on forever! Because I became interested in this subject I noticed them everywhere! That is how I eventually got to Greta Garbo! Years ago I saw several of her silent movies at a museum in Los Angeles and noted the shawl she wore and how she was wearing it in the film The Tempest right away! She was so beautiful and carried it off so well that I committed the image to memory and have often worn and fastened my own large shawls inspired by the way she wore them! This one is my favorite!
Stlye #8) The Greta Garbo ~ Version C ~ Another way Garbo the great wore her long fringed shawl in the film The Tempest. Wrap the shawl over the shoulders bringing the Left side all the way across the front overlapping it to the Right shoulder. Secure it in place with a brooch or shawl clip. I used my Eissenberg Ice blue and silver brooch because it is a lovely look with this shawl. It is there on the Right shoulder of the mannequin, but it is so sparkly it is almost blinding! That makes it hard to see in the photograph. I assure you, it both attractive and very noticeable in person!
This manner of styling makes a beautiful long formal evening wrap over a long columnar dress. It would be lovely worn over a simple bias cut spaghetti strapped gown! I would ideally have that in a dark royal or navy blue with this particular shawl!
I have always loved Garbo. I love to reference her in her films for clothing designs, makeup ideas, hair styles, and, of course, the incredible evening gowns designed for her by Adrian. Together they created great art in film fashion and, it epitomized femininity as an art form.
In my opinion no one, and nothing in the world that came before or after Greta Garbo, could possibly be more elegant!
I will continue to search for the publicity photos I saw of her wearing a shawl like this for The Tempest and post them here if and when I find them.
Speaking of artist's renderings of supreme beauties there was another film, starring Garbo, in which she plays a popular artist's model in Paris. A long and dramatic story that I cannot remember much about, including the name of it, although I distinctly remember the artist studio scenes with her posing for the painters and sculptors in them. As with most of the horribly melodramatic stories in the majority of her films it is not memorable as a movie, but it is worth seeing to see her and her fabulous clothes. I am always amazed at how Hollywood dressed the actresses playing starving artist's models and other poor working women in those movies in extravagantly beautiful and outrageously expensive designer clothes.
Of course, like all the girls and women who saw these actresses, it made me want to be like them and dress like them. And that was the point, wasn't it? The movies did a lot for fashion in their heyday! I think that they are hugely responsible for the fact that women were more glamorous in general back then and dressed as much as possible like these stars in their real lives.
Because I love that period of fashion history and it inspires me so much I try to dress that way myself now, whenever I get the chance.Of course this takes effort and time but it is well worth it to bring more beauty and pleasure into the world for people to enjoy!
I am grateful for the inspiration I receive from all the people who worked in the old movies to create the glamorous effects we associate with the great stars of the old Hollywood films! These actresses were beautiful women to begin with but their memorable images were also created with the help of many experts. The makeup artists, hair dressers, costume designers, lighting experts, photographers, brilliant film directors and publicity departments and the writers all contributed to create the final images.
The making of a great legendary Hollywood beauty and star of the old days of high glamor depended on a lot of people doing an incredible amount of high level creative work!
I think about that every time I set out to get dressed up for a high level social effect on my own! I think it must be a lot harder for me than it was with all that professional help! But this is real life, not the movies. I am only inspired by the old movies. I don't live in them!
Thus, I try to get organized well in advance as I have found that that really helps me. By this I mean laying out my clothes and jewelry and shoes. Trying them on a couple of days ahead of the event for a dress rehearsal. That way, if anything needs to be repaired of altered I'll have time to take care of it in advance. Figuring out any color co-ordinated makeup I need to plan on wearing in advance, etc. And figuring out some kind of wrap if it will be necessary to get from place to place on a cold winter's night without freezing to death! Fur coats were popular in the old days for good reasons! They kept you warm as you went from place to place.
A shawl such as this is a good evening wrap in the late spring and summer, but in fall and winter it will not be warm enough worn alone as an outdoor wrap. In such a case you can wear a fur coat or long evening cape to the event and either carry or wear the shawl as neck scarf. When you arrive at the event, check your cape or fur coat, then go to the powder room and style your shawl as shown in one of the photos above. This way, if you are in a cold drafty venue, which is often the case, wearing a lightweight evening dress with bare shoulders or no sleeves, you can wear the shawl to both stay warmer and look more glamorous! I did this at a winter black tie event this year and was the only woman there who was not covered with goose bumps! I also got a lot of compliments on my beautiful shawl!
I can imagine someone saying carry it? What does she mean, that would look tacky! Here is what I did. I carried a black satin evening purse, sort of a pouchy style between small and medium size. I rolled the above scarf up in a tight and quite small roll and put it into the purse along with a lipstick and a folding comb, and my brooch to pin the shawl. When I arrived, in high style, I checked my long black velvet evening cape and went to the ladies lounge, took my shawl out of my evening bag and put it on in front of the mirror. Then I checked my hair and lipstick, went out and checked my purse, because I don't like having to hold onto those during an evening, and joined the guests. Many women who were purple with cold commented on how smart this was and said they had never thought of doing it! I got through the evening looking grand and managed not to catch a cold! Silk is amazingly warm, in case you don't know. It can actually be too hot during the summer.
Another thing worth mentioning is that I felt glamorous because I was not cold. I was comfortably warm. I do not find suffering in any way to be glamorous and, I really enjoy being glamorous. In order to feel elegant and beautiful I have to be comfortable in every way as well as feeling assured that everything I am wearing is properly co-ordinated and put together and the proper choice for whatever I am attending or wherever I am going. I love coats and capes and shawls and furs and knitted sweaters and winter scarves because they are beautiful fabrics and designs, but also because they keep me warm and comfortable. Greta Garbo wore a lot of gorgeous furs in her movies! And I always take note of this fact!

News Release: September 5, 2012
(Surrey, BC) – In August, sales on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board's Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) ranked the third lowest for the month in the last decade – after 2008 and 2010.
Last month's 1,073 property sales represent a 20 per cent decrease compared to the 1,341 sales during August of last year and 23 per cent fewer than in July. In 2008, the Board processed 910 sales in August, and in 2010, 997.
"It was a slower August, but nowhere near historical lows for our Board so it's too soon to tell if it's a sign of a longer-term trend or if buyers and sellers in the Fraser Valley finally enjoyed a bit of summer," explains Scott Olson, FVREB president. "We do know that our economy currently remains fundamentally strong with stable mortgage and employment rates; and, our region in particular has some of the fastest growing communities in the Lower Mainland."
Olson says, "And we're seeing evidence of that growth in the sales of more affordable, attached properties in the Fraser Valley. For example in August, apartment sales went up significantly in Central Surrey and Abbotsford and remained on par in North Surrey and Cloverdale compared to last year, suggesting that first-time buyers are continuing to find opportunities."
Similar to sales, the Board saw a decrease in new listings. We received 2,406 in August, a decrease of 8 per cent compared to August 2011 and 18 per cent less than we received in July. This caused the number of active listings to decrease month-over-month, however the 10,366 active listings at month end still remained 3 per cent higher than the 10,074 listings available in August 2011.
Across the Fraser Valley, the benchmark price of a single family detached house in August was $551,400, an increase of 3.5 per cent compared to $532,700 in August 2011.
For townhouses, the benchmark price in August was $303,000, a decrease of 0.7 per cent compared to $305,200 during the same month last year. The benchmark price of apartments in Fraser Valley in August was $206,600, an increase of 3.4 per cent compared to $199,800 in August 2011.
Olson adds, "Overall, we're seeing prices stay resilient, however in almost half of our communities, the three-month trend is showing a decrease in prices while the other half is showing increases so for a detailed market analysis, check with your local REALTOR®."
The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board is an association of 2,900 real estate professionals who live and work in the BC communities of North Delta, Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford, and Mission. The FVREB marked its 90-year anniversary in 2011.

Many people collect "orphan" 401(k) plan balances as they move from job to job. Why should employers care? Helping new employees roll over their accounts from former employers can be beneficial for both parties. The same is true of assisting former participants (who have left your business).
Current employees
One reason participants orphan their previous employers' plans is that the process of rolling over an old 401(k) plan balance to a new employer's plan can be cumbersome. Unfortunately, many employees fail to properly manage their accounts even when they have only one, let alone two or three. If you have employees in this situation, counseling them on the benefits of consolidating their accounts can help improve their retirement planning while boosting morale and engagement.
High plan costs
As an employer, you incur risks from a high number of small, orphaned accounts. They add to plan administration costs and could even trigger a required independent audit. To manage your 401(k) plan participant roster, you may be able to roll over accounts of former participants worth relatively low dollar amounts to an IRA in the participant's name. But you'll need to perform due diligence in selecting an IRA provider and implementing the process.
Former participants
If your plan doesn't roll over former participants' accounts to an outside IRA, consider advising former participants to consult with an independent investment advisor who can help them roll their balances into an IRA. The overall fees that individuals pay on relatively small IRA accounts can be higher than those on accounts held in a 401(k) plan. Also, depending on the investments available to the participant on the rolled-over funds, the former participant might be better off leaving funds in the 401(k). But this is all worth discussing with a qualified advisor.
The extra mile
Lower administrative costs for the plan and increased savings for participants can benefit your company and its employees (both current and former). For more information and suggestions about controlling your benefits costs, please feel free to contact Lori Wagnon at 404-874-6244 or simply fill out the form below.

Whether or not you have a smartphone is closely related to both how old you are and how much money you make, according to a Nielsen survey in January of more than 20,000 mobile consumers.
While overall smartphone penetration stood at 48 percent in January, those in the 25-34 age group showed the greatest proportion of smartphone ownership, with 66 percent saying they had a smartphone. In the same age group, 8 of 10 of those that had gotten a new device in the last three months chose a smartphone. Among those who chose a device in the last three months, more than half of those under 65 had chosen a smartphone.
But age isn't the only determinant of smartphone ownership. Income also plays a significant role. When age and income are both taken into account, older subscribers with higher incomes are more likely to have a smartphone. For example, those 55-64 making over 100K a year are almost as likely to have a smartphone as those in the 35-44 age bracket making 35-75K per year.

Lidl's newly returned outdoor pizza oven sells out in days after huge demand
This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement.
Lidl's popular outdoor pizza oven made a return last week for less than £100 before quickly selling out as people try to make the most of their summers in lockdown.
The al fresco appliance, called La Hacienda pizza oven, was a huge hit among shoppers when the supermarket chain stocked it last summer.
How much does it cost?
The pizza oven is priced at £99.99.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdUnfortunately the product has since sold out in stores nationwide and is not available to purchase online.
Lidl has been contacted to find out if stocks will be replenished any time soon.
This is nothing new for the popular oven, as when it hit the shelves last year, it sold out just as quickly across the whole of the UK.
What does the oven come with?
Along with the oven, buyers will also receive a cordierite pizza stone base for making 12-inch pizzas and a chrome-plated cooking grill.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThe oven is constructed from durable steel and finished in a black high-temperature paint with a stainless steel flue.
Does it only make pizzas?
The oven not only cooks pizzas but has multiple functions, allowing you to also make barbecue-style treats, or smoke fish and meats.
How does Lidl's oven compare to other stores?
At Argos, the same model is on sale for over £40 more, at £140. However, unlike Lidl, customers have the option to buy the oven online.
The same product was also on sale at The Range for £109.99, before it sold out.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdMeanwhile, Aldi - Lidl's main competitor - is selling a pizza oven for only £39.99. However the two ovens are very different, with the Aldi model requiring you to use it in conjunction with a barbecue.
