Help Him Last Longer
Does your man hit his high note too soon? Here's a solution.
You may take it as a compliment when your guy can't help but speed to the finish line or you may just sigh in frustration, but either way, here's an easy (yet creepy) solution to your passion problem: Stamina Pillows by Durex.
These decorative -- and disturbing! -- pillows were originally given away for free at a sex trade show along with Durex's Performa condoms, which contain a slight anesthetic to help guys last longer. But the pillows were such a hit that hundreds more were printed and sold. The secret? They contain not-so-hot photos of old ladies with warts, wearing pearl necklaces, and bearing armpit hair (ick!) so your guy can sneak a peek when he needs to hold his horses.
Sure, you may feel like you're in bed with Grandma, but the prolonged payoff could be too good to pass up!

Very formal and rigid application process, and hard to gain information other than from the web posted job description. The interview process is formal with a round the table approach of one question for each interviewer. It is question and answer only, with very little interaction of discussion. it seems the same exact questions are posed to each interviewee, and so spontaneous follow up questions and answers are not encouraged. The body language is very neutral and sometimes bored. Definitely not a private sector approachInterview Questions

For a research analyst position, usually the interview panel includes about four to five people. Usually the manager, who the research analyst won't be in the second round of interviews (after screening). Questions cover the 'responsibilities" part of the terms of reference, and should be very professional. Usually the person whose profile fits the best will get most "yay"s.

- The most difficult question concerned giving a response in a context that I was not familiar with. I was given a question in my area of domain and asked to apply it on Bangladesh, a country I knew nothing about. The purpose of such questions is to see whether the candidate is able to use their knowledge in different contexts and to modify the approach and thinking based on the country specific context. Such questions almost always come up at interviews and the best answer is to make some assumptions about the context in case you are not familiar with it. Answer Question

I was introduced to the office manager informally by a friend, and set up an informational interview with her, without knowing any specific openings. After talking to me about half an hour about my general backgrounds and skills, she seemed to like me, and then said, one of our teams was looking for someone to fill an administrative position.

Cooperstown, NY: You could have easily confused Cooperstown, this quiet village in Otsego County, New York for a small pueblo in Puerto Rico yesterday with the huge number of Puerto Ricans and Latinos that temporarily occupied the village for the induction of Roberto Alomar, a native of Salinas, Puerto Rico.
Cooperstown is approximately 230 miles north from New York City. Puerto Rico is approximately 1500 miles South, however, yesterday this village became the medium point for the 3rd Puerto Rican and 10th Latino to be inducted into this prestigious museum.
Imagine, out of the thousands of baseball players that have played the game for over one hundred years there are only 205 players inducted. That has to be a very selective Hall of Fame to only have that small number of plaques lining its main gallery located on the first and main floor.
This village has an estimated population of 1,852 people according to the 2010 census. I walked half the village as I decided to forgo the long lines for the shuttle-taking people back to Rogers Field where the induction ceremony was to be held. From downtown to out of town was approximately a 10-minute walk. The interesting thing was that everywhere, I mean everywhere I went I saw Puerto Ricans. Boricuas are easy to recognize in events like this because we all distinguish ourselves with the Puerto Rican flag.
Cooperstown looked like a mini New York City on the National Puerto Rican day parade. Jerseys, t-shirts, hats, bandanas, you name it. Puerto Rican colors everywhere. It was like if everyone came to Cooperstown not just to cheer Roberto Alomar on, but to also cheer themselves as an island nation that has one of the most interesting and complex diasporas with a majority of its population residing outside of the island.
Alomar was the vehicle and the Puerto Rican flag that brings out the pride was the instrument that united so many of us yesterday. I saw friends in Cooperstown from several towns in Puerto Rico that I have not seen in years. I met new friends of all ages through our admiration of our T-shirts. Ours did not have the Puerto Rican flag, instead we had Alomar in that famous shot when he hit that homerun in the 93 World Series and raised his arms up in a sign of victory that gave many back then the same feeling of pride that they felt yesterday.
I could write a lot more about the wonderful experience we all had in Cooperstown, but I would rather share these pictures with you and let the pictures explain our pride.
Congratulations Roberto Alomar and congratulations to all the Latinos, especially every Puerto Rican from the island and the mainland that gave all of us a beautiful day of unity, even if only for one day.
Anyone interested in the Alomar HOF t-shirt can purchase one at the Latino Sports Tienda on this site.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — J. Richard Harvey Jr. will give the talk, "Closing the Tax Gap: An Insider's View of U.S. Tax Policy and Administration at a Time of Trillion Dollar Deficits," on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. in the Forum of the Elaine Langone Center at Bucknell University.
The talk, which is free to the public, is sponsored by Bucknell's School of Management and will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
"It is an honor to have such a high-ranking IRS official speak at Bucknell," said Stephen Willits, associate professor of management at Bucknell. "The topic of tax policy is extremely timely as the Obama administration strives to make crucial policy decisions in the face of increasing budget deficits and an unstable economy. We are really looking forward to hearing Mr. Harvey's insights."
Tax expert
Harvey was appointed senior adviser to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commissioner last year. He had served as the Distinguished Clinical Professor of Accounting and Executive-in-Residence at Bucknell before assuming this position.
As senior adviser, Harvey works closely with the IRS chief counsel's office, various IRS business units, the Treasury Department Office of Tax Policy and various congressional staff to provide guidance and assistance on matters of policy and tax administration.
Harvey joined the IRS upon retiring from PricewaterhouseCoopers where he was a managing partner and the U.S. banking and capital markets tax leader. His career with PricewaterhouseCoopers included service in the firm's Washington National Tax Office and in New York City as a tax partner focusing on financial institutions.
In 1986, he joined the Treasury Department's Office of Tax Policy where he drafted legislation and regulations and did extensive work on the 1986 Tax Reform Act.
A 1977 graduate of Bucknell, Harvey holds a master's degree in international economics and finance from the University of York in the United Kingdom. A nationally recognized expert in financial services tax issues, he has extensive experience in financial accounting for income taxes including both Financial Account Standards Board rules and International Financial Reporting Standards.

A good portion of the Sacramento regions 12,000 civilian federal workers began adjusting Tuesday to life without a paycheck, not knowing when they will get paid again. Their questions unanswered, customers walked away from the local Social Security Administration field office, which was operating on a limited basis. People seeking information on federal websites largely surfed in vain, with many government sites shut down except for a splash page.
On the first day of the federal government shutdown, the news still hadnt reached some people that the federal government, except for those jobs considered essential, was closed for business. And no one not here, not in Washington, D.C. could tell people when the shutdown will end.
A few scenes from the first day of the shutdown in the Sacramento region:
Waiting for answers
The big parking lot at the Social Security office in south Sacramento was packed with cars on Tuesday morning. Visitors strode past a paper sign tacked to the door telling them that many services wouldnt be available and many walked out that same door, disappointed, a few minutes later.
Ive got to get a Social Security card so I can get a job, said Vernon Tidwell, a 23-year Sacramento resident. He has applied for work with a moving company but lost his Social Security card.
Tidwell said Social Security workers told him that getting a new card likely isnt possible until the shutdown ends. Hes concerned. Somebody might get the job before me, he said. I need to be employed.
Dolores Mirazo, 85, also was worried. A month ago, she received a letter from Social Security saying the agency needed to determine if she is still eligible for certain benefits. The letter made her anxious, and she was looking forward to getting answers to her questions at an appointment Tuesday.
Instead, she was told that her appointment had been canceled and officials would call to reschedule after the shutdown ends.
Its stressful, she said. Im supposed to be resting.
Stocking up on supplies
At the commissary at McClellan Park, where service members, military retirees and their families can receive discounted groceries and other goods, sales clerk Cindy Cory was checking customers identification cards at the front desk. She and other store employees were working without pay for one day, before the commissary closed until further notice.
Things can change if they work something out in Washington, she said. And last time, they gave us retro pay.
But retroactive pay isnt guaranteed for federal employees during the current shutdown. Collectively, in the Sacramento region, they earn about $6million per workday, federal data show.
Greeting customers, standing behind a counter festooned with purple Halloween decorations, Cory, 57, sounded more worried than optimistic.
Im a single woman, and this is going to hurt, she said, tears filling her eyes. Were thinking we can get unemployment after one week, but that wont cover what I need. I dont know what Im going to do. Hopefully, my bill people will be understanding.
The shutdown will hurt the commissarys customers, too, she said. Because military retirees are paid on the first of each month, the first week is always the commissarys busiest.
Theres going to be a shutdown? said Walter Williams, 63, a veteran who shops at the commissary twice a week with his mother, 87-year-old Lois Williams.
Are you serious? No, thats not good. Its shutting down for now? Im very disappointed. Very disappointed.
Waiting a few customers behind him in line, Alfreda Christian, 80, said it didnt surprise her that the federal shutdown was forcing the commissary to close.
I have a light load today, but I should stock up, she said.
When will we be paid?
Cheryl Byers, a secretary for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Sacramento, didnt worry much about a government shutdown before Tuesday. Shed heard the threats before: Talk of a shutdown has been common during federal budget negotiations for the past several years.
Now, its really happening, she said from her home Tuesday. We have no idea when we are going to get paid.
Byers is the breadwinner in her family, she said; her husband is disabled. Because she is not a high-ranking official, she and her husband often have little left over at the end of the month. It will be a struggle, she said.
Like other federal workers, Byers hopes she will get back pay for the days she is furloughed but that is not guaranteed.
Closing up shop
Outside the leafy Federal Building complex on Cottage Way in Sacramento, a local TV news reporter and her cameraman prepared a stand-up for the noon news. Behind the sprawling complex, the parking lot usually jammed with employees cars at midday was only one-fourth filled. And more employees straggled from their offices to the parking lot, some pulling rolling briefcases.
Really, all we did this morning was shut down, said Mary Prinzbach, a 33-year federal employee who works as a budget officer for the Bureau of Land Management. We put out notifications that were down and provided instructions to our staff.
The California BLM office put 830 of 960 employees on furlough. Prinzbachs younger staff members part-time employees who often are paying for college and rent out of their government salaries took the news hard, she said.
Its weighing heavy on their minds, she said. Theyre asking me how long I think this will last.
Government on hold
For the regions representatives in Washington, D.C., Day One of the shutdown presented an immediate management decision on how many people to furlough as nonessential. Some, including Democratic Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Sacramento, opted to keep their entire Washington and California district staffs employed. Some, such as Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Visalia, declared a handful of employees nonessential and sent them home, potentially for the duration.
Democratic Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein both shut down most of their California operations and curtailed Washington staff activities. Boxers D.C. office was open on an appointment-only basis.
Reps. Jeff Denham, R-Turlock, and Ami Bera, D-Elk Grove, asked the House to withhold their pay until the shutdown is over. Members of Congress are paid $174,000 a year, or the equivalent of $3,346 a week.
Welcome to America
They were just beginning to recover after the Rim fire a month ago devastated parts of Tuolumne County as well as Yosemite-area tourist businesses. Gift shops, lodging and diners in picturesque foothill towns such as Groveland and Sonora suffered from the fire. And now Yosemite National Park perhaps Americas most internationally famous park and certainly one of the most visited is closing for the duration of the shutdown.
Chris Link, manager of the Best Western Plus Sonora Oaks and Conference Center, spent much of Tuesday on the phone, answering frantic tourists questions and helping tour operators reschedule long-planned visits.
Were being contacted by international tour operators to see if we can help people change their plans, he said. Were helping them find places outside the area to visit or places in the gateway communities for people dislocated from the Yosemite Valley.
Some of these people made plans to visit California years in advance. Theyre in transit now from Germany, Holland and the United Kingdom. They dont even know this has happened.
Welcome to America, foreign visitors.
This is just the tip of the iceberg right now, said Link. We have people looking at Plan B and Plan C. Right now, the shutdown is in its infancy.

Do you think it's too much to expect to have success both career- and love life-wise?
I presume we all wish to be successful in different aspects of life: career and private life. Sometimes it even seems easier, simpler to succeed in your job - I have personal experience with science-related profession hence my examples: You study a lot, you get good grades, you apply for scholarships, you apply for grants, you work hard, you do your networking, you keep informed, feed your curiosity and creativity supplemented with real data and facts. Of course, lots of factors can not be influenced, but there are even less for love, right? What do you think about this? How should one approach the questions of relationships? Is it all left just to chance, just to "let it happen" random approach?

Thomas Jones 100+Oct 31 2011: Excerpt from an article on Yahoo!
Career women take note: if you want to continue to ascend the corporate ladder all the while maintaining a happy-ish household it may be wise to choose a partner with lesser ambition or a less demanding work schedule, or so suggests a study by a Cornell researcher ...
After analyzing census data from more than 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessional workers from dual-earner families in the U.S., sociology researcher, Youngjoo Cha discovered that there's a potentially negative association between how many hours a man works per week and its effect on the career choices of his female partner.
In the 2010 paper ""Reinforcing Separate Spheres: The Effect of Spousal Overwork on Men's and Women's Employment in Dual-Earner Households", Cha concludes that being married to a man who works 60 hours a week and more makes a woman more likely to quit her job. In fact, it increases her odds by 42 percent. (For women in professional positions, that risk goes up to 51 percent.)

Why Apple's "Next Big Thing" Might Be Many Little Ones
John-Erik is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
There's no doubt that one of the big factors weighing on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is concern about innovation. Despite the company's history of developing revolutionary products and disrupting markets, many investors remain unconvinced that Apple can innovate without visionary founder Steve Jobs.
After more than a decade at the head of consumer-technology innovation, Apple-as-innovator suddenly appears to be running second to Samsung in hardware and to Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) in software.
Nothing short of a new blockbuster product seems likely to convince the growing army of Apple skeptics that a post-Jobs Apple can innovate its way to continuing growth for years to come. Even Jim Cramer, who remains bullish on Apple, said Thursday that what the company needs is "the next big thing." That's probably why there's been so much anticipation of the planned Apple TV. It's presumed to not only be a blockbuster, but a big-ticket item, just the kind of product that could put juice back in Apple's stock.
But investors may be missing clues about Apple's future that suggest it could rest not on the next big blockbuster iProduct, but in spiderweb-like growth through "next little things." Let's take a look at some of them:
Now that's a smart outfit
A recent patent granted to Apple sheds some light on the company's plans for a smart shoe. This may sound odd, but it hints at a larger project Apple has in the works with Nike. The two companies are developing smart apparel.
Imagine shoes that gauge wear and tear, that tell you how far you've run or walked, maybe even whether they fit right. Imagine clothes with sensors to measure body heat and perspiration, movement and other metrics for use in your workouts and activities. All the information these shoes and garments collect will be processed by your iPhone, iPad or iPod, making Apple an important component of your health goals.
There's also been speculation that Apple is developing a smart wristwatch, possibly providing what's essentially a wearable, miniature iPhone. Some say this could be big seller. But with details at this point scant at best, there isn't much but speculation out there for investors to consider.
Apple in your auto
Here's another area where we know Apple is already at work. Cars are getting smarter, and that's a good thing, because drivers are becoming increasingly distracted (i.e. dumber). Any time a driver is clutching a handset, whether they are texting, talking or looking for a song on iTunes, it's dangerous. That's why the integration of Apple's Siri into cars over the coming year is an important development.
Consider this piece on Cars.com: "Siri can read incoming text messages, respond to texts and emails, add calendar appointments, check the weather, give sports scores or stock quotes, find points of interest, announce turn-by-turn directions or make a phone call over the car's Bluetooth system — just by pressing the steering-wheel Bluetooth button for a few moments. It's all part of Apple's new Eyes Free mode, which works while your smartphone screen stays dark."
Of course, a car owner needs to have an iPhone to enjoy these benefits. Which brings us to an important point: All of these innovations work to expand Apple's tech ecosystem (which I wrote about here), and that's one area where Apple excels above its competition. Apple's ecosystem is sticky. Just ask Samsung's president. He's stuck in Apple's ecosystem despite using Samsung products for work.
Innovations like these will only serve to make it stickier.
Far from alone
Apple is not alone in this type of innovation. Google is fast expanding its network as well, building out its Android platform from phones to tablets to phablets and possibly next to Chromebooks. It debuted its Nexus Q media-streaming device earlier this year, tying together the TV to Android gadgets.
Next up for Google: Appliances.
Samsung announced the launch of an Android-powered refrigerator that can help owners keep track of home inventory. At the launch in the UK, Samsung's head of sales called appliances "a major growth area" for the Korean hardware maker. While it's unlikely to be a major growth area for Google anytime soon, these appliances could help to extend the company's ecosystem and make Android stickier.
Playing catch-up
There's another big tech company looking to expand its ecosystem: Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT). It has a key piece in place to do so already in the Xbox console. The Xbox is in more than 70 million homes, and Microsoft is looking to tie the device into its handsets and Surface tablets.
But sales of both new Windows phones and Surface tablets have been disappointing. That is not encouraging for Microsoft and its ability to hang with Apple and Google in the ecosystem war.
More than one way to get stuck
Of course, Apple could surprise us all and unveil the "next big thing" any day. After all, it's usually a few years between big innovations from Cupertino. The iPod was released in 2001, and the iPhone did not debut till 2007. It's been only three years since the iPad was released, and we already have a mini version and a 128GB version of the tablet.
But even if that "next big thing" doesn't happen anytime soon, investors should take into account that Apple continues to look for "next little things" as well. And those little innovations could prove important in maintaining Apple's great advantage: stickiness.

Italy Travel Tips
Italy's great food, beautiful countryside, fabulous wine, and long history make it an excellent country to visit. No life is complete without a trip to Italy. I fall in love with it every time I visit. I love the vineyards in Florence, the ancient streets in Rome, the laid back nature of Southern Italy, the gorgeous Cinque Terre, and romantic Venice. Italy leaves no one underwhelmed. There's so much to do in Italy that it would take a lifetime to finish. Don't rush it in just one visit. Italy is best seen slowly – just like the attitude of the country. Relax, take in the scenery, and enjoy a latte.
Destination Guides

Is Eurail Worth the Cost?
A Girl's Guide to Italy
Cinque Terre
Rediscovering Italy
Visiting the Ruins of Pompeii
Typical Costs
- Accommodation: Accommodation in Italy isn't cheap. Hostels are quite expensive with dorm rooms ranging from $20-40 per night. Private rooms cost around $75-100 USD per night. A budget hotel will set you back $80 USD or more for a double room. The good news is that the further south you go the cheaper the prices get. Expect the lower range for hostel prices and hotels for $60 USD from Rome south. There are some cheap hotels in the country – but they are tough to find.
- Food: It's easy to have a great (and expensive) Italian meal here but it's also easy to eat for less than $15 USD a day. Most restaurant meals with wine will cost around $25 USD per person. In tourist hot spots, add about $10 USD to that. Quick eats like pizza slices, paninis, and light snacks will cost $3-4 USD. Fast food (i.e. McDonalds) will cost $10 USD for a value meal. At all restaurants, add $3 for the "coperta" (sit down fee). Cooking your own food here will set you back about $50-60 per week.
- Transportation: The best way to get around Italy is via their extensive train network. Fast trains (Eurostar) cost between $40-70 per trip. The slower regional trains cost between $7-25 USD per trip. (Take them!) Public transport is reasonably priced with most buses and subways costing $2 USD for a single ticket. For long distances when you are short on time, Ryanair and EasyJet have cheap flights throughout the country.
- Activities: Most attractions and museums in Italy cost around $15-20 to enter. Wine tours will cost around $65-80.
Money Saving Tips
- Pass on the bread – Restaurants will charge you extra for bread but not tell you about it when they give it you. Send it back if you don't want to pay for it.
- Drink the tap water – Ask for tap water or you will get bottled water and have to pay for that too. Moreover, you can refill your bottles of water at any of the drinking fountains throughout Italy. The water is fine to drink.
- Buy lots of wine – You can buy a great bottle of wine for $4. It's a lot cheaper than drinking at the bar.
- Eat a panini - Eating out in the popular cities of Italy is an expensive affair. Buy paninis and pizza for just a few Euros and save a lot of money.
- Couchsurf - Accommodation is quite expensive in Italy, even in the hostels. Use Couchsurfing and stay with locals who have extra beds and couches for free. I use the service a lot and find it not only saves me money but I meet great people too.
Top Things to Do
- See the Venice Carnival – Ten days and nights of masquerade madness in February before Lent. It's the Italian version of Carnival! This tradition goes back centuries and is one of the biggest parties and festivals in Italy. If you have the funds, you can even pay to attend a traditional masquerade ball.
- Explore Venice – Besides Carnival, Venice is just a great place to visit. While not the cheapest destination in Italy, Venice is great to see canals, experience a gondola ride, and have an amazing romantic candlelight dinner. Head to the old Jewish Ghetto for hip bars and cheap drinks.
- Wander through Pompeii – Pompeii is the ancient city that was destroyed by a volcano but persevered by a blanket of ash. Walk around the city as it stood the day the volcano exploded, moving in and out of homes and businesses where pots and vases still lay. Most of the beautiful frescoes are still there with their beautiful colors. It's a full-day activity.
- Discover Rome – The city of Rome is a wonderful place of small streets and history. You'll be able to visit Roman ruins here – more than you can see in one trip. Make sure you explore the Trastevere area, west of the river. It's my favorite place in Rome and it offers cheap food, great little bars, and tiny winding streets few tourists venture to.
- Visit Siena – Everyone always says "I looooove Siena" and with good reason. It's one of the best preserved medieval cities in Italy and has a labyrinth of lanes gathered around the arena of Piazza del Campo (where, during the summer, they have horses racing).
- Hike the Cinque Terre – Five dramatically located villages on the wesr coast of Italy, backed by steep vineyards and mountains. It's heaven here. I ended up staying a week because it was so beautiful. There are great hikes that range in difficulty. The towns offer excellent food and great local wine. Manarola has amazing seafood. This beautiful area lives up to all the hype.
- Explore the Amalfi Coast – The southern cousin to the Cinque Terre, the Amalfi coast is much less visited but equally as beautiful (some say more). You'll find great hillside towns, beautiful beaches, and azure blue water in which to cool off.
- Relax on the Lakes – The beautiful lakes up north (like Lake Como) are the summer playground for Italians, the rich, and George Clooney. Come up here, play in the lakes, see beautiful villas, and hike in the countryside.
- Explore Florence – It's Florence. There's no real need to explain why to go here. Everything people say about it is true. Great food, amazing museums, ancient buildings, small streets, and awesome gelato. While here, make sure you take a few wine tours throughout the Tuscan region to get a feel for the countryside.
- Drive around "the Heel" – No one ever goes to the southern heel of the Italian boot. But if you have time, make it down here. This is where most of the fruits and vegetables in Italy come from. A trip down here will give you the best glimpse into rustic Italian life.
- Eat in Sicily – Sicily is famous for its mafia but there's more to the island than mobsters. It has its own unique cooking style, amazing coastal beaches that stay warm in the summer months, friendly little Italian grandmas, and extensive wineries.
- Attend Settimana Santa – This is the last week of lent known as Holy Week. During this time, there are several processions throughout Italy, drawing crowds of thousands. Throughout the week, there are various gatherings in Puglia, Abruzzo, and Sicily but the major event occurs on Easter Sunday, and is led by the pope.
- Visit Alberobello – A Unesco World Heritage Site, this is an interesting and picturesque little town, which is well worth a visit between the months of November and April (to avoid the flocks and gaggles of tourists). There are a couple of museums to peruse through, in addition to some great restaurants, bars, and markets.
- Admire the Vatican Museums – If you have the patience to wait through the lines and your desire is strong enough, this is one of the most grandeur collections to see while in Rome. Founded in the early 16th century, it is a complex of museums on over five hectares of land. There are so many priceless highlights, you could spend hours just looking at them and glazing over the thousands of other pieces.
- Enter Chiesa di Sant'Efisio – When you find yourself in Cagliari, you should probably wander over to the Stampace quarter to see this church. Dedicated to the patron Saint Ephisius, this is the most important church in the city and it was actually built over the saint's prison site.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A naked man assaulted a woman on her morning walk, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office.
Police were first called for a suspicious person in the 4800 block of East Gloria Lane around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
A homeowner told police she heard someone knocking on her back window, but they were unable to find anyone in the area. The woman's husband came home from work around 3:45 to find a naked black man in their front yard. Deputies searched a second time for the man, but were again unsuccessful.
At 5:15, a woman was reportedly assaulted near 17th and Carnahan Road during her morning walk. The victim told deputies a naked black man approached her, attempted to take her watch, threw her to the ground and partially drug her down an embankment. After a short struggle, the victim was able to free herself. The sheriff's office says she was injured during the incident.
The woman said the man has an athletic build and a tattoo on his right shoulder. She added the suspect should have scratches on his chest and arms from the altercation.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.

This exceptional Picual oil is a brilliant golden green color with a fragrance of herbs and artichokes. The first taste has hints of citrus with a bold peppery finish. For the afficionado, this is the finest quality extra virgin olive oil in all of Spain - and perhaps the world!
First Day of Harvest means just that - the Vaño family chooses the peak time for harvesting, just before they are fully ripe. On the very first day, they press the olives, yielding a super fresh olive oil packed with chlorophyll and antioxidants - healthy and incredibly flavorful!
If the olive pickers waited just a few days later, they would have harvested riper olives which would have produced double the amount of olive oil. But the oil would not have been as pristine and flavorful. That is what makes this limited edition oil so special.
Each year's release has been commemorated with a unique bottle label, designed by a person who represents exceptional qualities. This year, Castillo de Canena selected Fernando Alonso, two time world champion Formula One race car driver and leader of the Ferrari racing team. In his design for the label, Alonso chose the championship wreath and a checkerboard flag hang-tag, symbolizing the hard work and daily sacrifice that are required to win a Formula 1 championship - and to produce an olive oil of this exceptional quality.
Castillo De Canena olive oils are cold pressed by the renowned Vañó family in Andalusia. For centuries, the Vañó family has grown olive trees and pressed them to make olive oil near their 16th century castle in the foothills of the Sierra Mágina. The company takes its name from the castle itself.
Castillo de Canena carefully supervises their olive groves and hand selects olives at the peak time for producing olive oil with the perfect balance of aroma and flavor.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

The St. Louis Blues traded forward B.J. Crombeen and a 2014 fifth-round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for fourth round picks in both 2013 and 2014.
Crombeen, 27, had one goal and two assists in 40 games for the Blues last season.
"I would like to thank BJ and his wife, Janet, for their time here in St. Louis," said Blues executive vice president and general manager Doug Armstrong in a statement. "BJ gave us everything he had on the ice and along with his wife, was very active in our community."
Crombeen was drafted in the second round of the 2003 NHL Draft by Dallas. He appeared in 23 games for the Stars before being claimed off waivers by the Blues in November 2008.
The Denver native has 27 goals and 29 assists in 288 career NHL contests.

If the Industrial Revolution did not begin in Western Europe, could it have or would it have began somewhere else?
I read "Guns Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond and it really made me think. He said once "If another continent was blessed with environment and resources like Europeans, than they would have built skyscrapers and Helicopters" or something to that effect. I dont want this to turn into a racial/cultural debate by any means. I am merely asking if Technology was inevitable? I believe Diamond was correct in much of his assumptions he made in his book, but i do believe he was being overly deterministic? Anyway, is modern society just a fluke? What would have happened if the Industrial Revolution did not begin when it did?

Apr 17 2013: Keith,
Popular sentiment or innovation comes out when
1/ the 'pain or need' crosses a particular level and
2/ it equals or exceeds the 'forces' acting against it.
The bar for point 2 (opposite forces) is lower in few regions than in the others and also the drive for point 1 ( pain or need) varies across regions.
So finding a solution is inevitable and technology is part of it. See my debate on related subjects

Jen & Michael's Modern Retreat
House Tour
Names: Jen, Michael, Eva & Esme
Location: Lexington, Massachusetts
Size: 3,000 square feet
Years lived in: 2
Remember the story of the city mouse and the country mouse? The country mouse envies her sister's riches, but eventually chooses a life of safety and ease in the country over the wealth and danger of the city. The fable aptly describes artist Jen's search for the ideal home. A little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, Jen found the perfect balance of contemporary styling and pastoral setting in the modern enclave of Peacock Farm.
Following on the heels of Walter Gropius, Peacock Farm was a planned community of mid-century modern homes founded by architect Walter Pierce in the 1950s. Unlike traditional New England dwellings that face the street, the Peacock Farm homes were set into the natural landscape and designed to adapt to the sloping lots. Jen's split-level typifies the style with its flexible floor plan, large unobstructed windows, and lower levels set in various depths of the grading. Originally conceived as space-efficient, low-cost housing, the original 1958 structure was seamlessly expanded by Pierce (who still occupies a nearby house) in 1992.
For help designing the interior, Jen turned to friend and noted interior designer Rachel Reid, whose own Lexington home was featured in a 2009 Boston Globe article. Reid's expertise proved invaluable in choosing furnishings that addressed the family's need for comfort and durability while staying true to the home's modern aesthetic. The combination of thrift store finds, high end goods from Boston show rooms, and iconic mid-century pieces give the home the eclectic, contemporary feel Jen and Michael were going for. The neutral walls provide a perfect backdrop for showcasing Jen's colorful artwork, which is featured throughout house.
Not surprisingly, Jen's favorite elements are outdoors, where multi-level decks provide ample opportunities for enjoying solitude, gathering with friends, or observing a glorious sunset. In such bucolic surroundings, it's easy to forget that downtown Boston is a mere 20 minutes away. But that's exactly what Jen and Michael most about their home. Like the architecture itself, they are challenging the traditional notion of family life as a frenzied, outward-focused event. In this beautiful, but laid back abode they have created a modern retreat that is as complementary to their personalities as it is to their lifestyle. Who wouldn't be inspired by that?

clean and calming! (ididn't see any clutter).
-the bedframe in the first (master?) bedroom seems out of place.
-the master bath is off the hook.
--that "false preg" artwork in the nook is interesting.
-it's nice that the childhood themed artwork is mixed w/ pure abstracts.
It's really sleek and a nice of mix of modern and contemporary. However, I never understand animal skin floor coverings. By my count, two cow hides and two sheep skins? It just seems a little barbaric to me, I don't know. I mean, you have microfiber (I think) green stools in the dining area, no leather anywhere, but huge skins on the floor in a bunch of rooms. I feel like there are much classier and more interesting rugs out there than a display of your superiority over herbivores. I don't know, I'm probably in the minority on this one, I guess.
Other than some nice pieces of art, I don't really see anything particularly original or inventive here. It's a lovely space, but then that's not much of a challenge if you can afford to move to an expensive suburb and hire an interior designer for your 3,000 square foot architect-designed house. This is decidedly not an apartment, and doesn't really seem to be in line with the stated goals of this site.
Absolutely gorgeous!
alas, design1211 - we are a dying breed of apartment therapy commenters, looking to see unique style and inventive solutions to space challenges. i've near given up, sadly...
nice apartment!
beautiful space. Love the paint color. Would you mind sharing the make and name of the colors?
At first, when I noticed the typical mid-century pieces, I rolled my eyes and thought to my self "Here we go again".
Upon opening the link and really taking a look at the villa, I am very much digging the home as a whole. The artwork is really what makes this home pop. I could live here...or break into this place when they are not home. I could!!
The great aspect about this site is that all tastes are accommodated - and appreciation for design whether accomplished by a professional, an amateur or someone with just a passing interest is what is showcased here. For sure, immense space is just as difficult to furnish as really small space.
Amazing light in this home.
Even though this isn't a small home or apartment, I think it's interesting to see all types of homes to get inspiration. For example, I have a teeny living room and though theirs is much larger, I have a similar space. So it's nice to see how they laid out their sofas and utilized the bookshelves.
I think there's room for everything here.
Architecturally gorgeous. Love the art.
Is that a Calder mobile in the entry? Holy crap.
Yes, it's a really nice place - but I have to agree w/ the first comment that the bed in the master seems out of place...
...either that or the knee-high nightstands are woefully inadequate for that space.
I also agree that the artwork is rather nice as well as the toy-collection - IMO, they and the fur rugs are the key elements here that keep the place from feeling cold and impersonal.
What a stunning home!
Wow. Dolla billz, ya'll!
Where is the rug in the living room from?
Beautiful home, but I'd like less designer trophy name-dropping and more about the artwork and architecture. That's what makes this place unique.
I love everything modern, but I'm not feeling this one. I've seen modern homes and they still have that personality. This one is too "interior-designery". Sorry.
Positive note: the wall art is nice.
Yay a modern home with comfy looking living room couches. Granted it would be hard to make a mess of a home like that, but it still looks wonderful to me.
Lovvvvve the hanging chair.
ps-- I love that this is a bigger house. I'm all in favor of cool small apartments, but I dig seeing the big ones as well. In other words, I'm a total house slut so big small, so long as get the job done well, it doesn't matter to me.
Beautiful home! My dream home!!
"...doesn't it make you think of an animal getting skinned every time you see or walk on it?"
Do you think the same thing when you see us walking up the street in our leather jacket, leather shoes and carrying a leather briefcase?
This place really cries out for a nice deck and hot tub right outside the master bedroom door...maybe with some nice terraced landscaping...
My grandfather lives in a Peacock Farms house in Lexington too! I love visiting.... he was recently thinking of selling his house and I'm so glad he decided against it. These homes have such a great natural feeling with all the windows and woods around them.
Iconic, and ironic, mid century design in an expansive house? I'm impressed. And slightly jealous. Given the access to cash and resources, I'd probably have done a similar thing.
I LOVE IT! It looks like the perfect balance between uncluttered modern & calming cozy. I kind of agree about the first bed though. It doesn't seem to sit well in the space. The splashes of orange are beautiful.
You must never leave your home! So amazing. I love everything about it and really enjoyed the art work. I was intrigued by the tree/false pregnancy piece. Thanks for sharing.
This house is gorgeous the location is dreamy with all the green trees and those huge windows and the decks absolutely amazing. Inside i loved the art work, very interesting especially loved the corner in the living room with the orange armchair. Everything else is simple and nice . No kitchen though. very well done enjoy it .
Beautiful space, but like some of the other posters, I feel it lacks creativity. I've seen some really original mid-century looks on AT that the homeowners completely owned, but unfortunately, this doesn't feel all that lived in or loved by the owner.
"People like skins because they're created by nature rather than by us. A cowhide rug has an element of serendipity about it - in the grain of the hairs, the pigmentation and the little irregularities - that can't be replicated in an artificial product. And because it's honest, rather than plastic pretending to be fibre or pelt, it feels right. It speaks to us on a very deep level."
well said Blandwagon
The proportions in the master bedroom (bed and night tables) are quite strange.
Kudos to Blandwagon! Let the kids KNOW!! I totally agree.
Yeah, I'm with blandwagon too. I don't really get the shock and ire of folks scandalized by cowskin rugs. In many African countries, cowskins have always been the traditional floor covering, so it's not exactly a new home decor trend.
very nice... some of the accessories are a little fussy, but the paintings more than make up for it
Hey now, I'm not dead yet!
Us apartment dwellers certainly still exist, and we still come up with all sorts of creative things. Unfortunately, it does take an awful lot of planning and time to do them right =P
Turning a 4x2 closet into an office that allows you to actually be productive and not feel cramped? Eliminating a door in a removable fashion so it looks like it was deliberately built that way? Turning a small, bland, apartment bathroom into something gorgeous? I can say from experience that these things are <I>VERY</I> difficult to do right.
One day there'll be a tour of my place when it meets my standards, but until then, remember this stuff is hard to DIY with the results actually being impressive.
Do you need a house-sitter?Love it!Doesn't matter if it's a house,an apartment ,a shed,or who decorated it...I want to see it! I learn something about design from all,that's what it's about for me. Now,how are those vases hanging from the wall?
A really beautiful, calming space. Feels like an art gallery - the art is really nicely highlighted. Your windows are wonderful! I love the bright, fun bedrooms. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, first time I am reading comments on this site. Am surprised how cruel people can be. As an architect, I firmly believe in critical discourse, but that's not what I am reading.
Since I am not prepared to comment on house or interiors at this point, I will only add some thoughts about cow-hide rugs: In addition to the astute reasons given by "blandwagon", I find hide rugs really useful for 2 purposes: 1) when you don't want an orthogonal floor covering (ie when a rectangle or square leaves odd corners out in the path of traffic) or 2) if you have kids or wine-drinking friends. Natural hair doesn't stain when grape juice or other beverages are spilled on it. No discoloration, no absorption into synthetic backing etc. For me these type of rugs are endlessly useful in a wide variety of interior styles.
I see what everyone is talking about...that master bedroom bed is out of place. Way to high and has nothing to with the decorating in the rest of the house. Looks like it belongs in a victorian or something.
Other than that room...I love this tour!
I have the exact same coffee table!
cowhide is also hypoallergenic. similarly dogs & cats who chew don't often mess with cowhide. the majority of cowhides come from brazil & argentina, the two largest beef providing countries & are by-products of that industry. it makes good sense to have a cowhide.
Thanks for the tour! Just the inspiration to clean my apartment.
Beautiful. Just my style. & ??? Is that an original Calder hanging from the ceiling????
Beautiful home!! Love, love, love the area with the two couches facing each other--looks very cozy and comfy. Thanks for sharing your home!
i have to say the only piece of furniture i like is the large round table in the kitchen area, but to pair it with such ugly patio-furniture-like chairs, my God !!!
i also find the bed/jetson-style night stand combo a tad strange as well.
and i would hate to sleep in that yellow bedroom... eikkk...
but it's not my home and am just having my coffee and commenting out loud. no big woop...
i'll just get off my soapbox now :)
but, as always, if the people living there are happy, that's great !!! i am happy they have made their home a dream one :)
I have no problem with the animal skins, nice there was something that caused a controversial reaction (!!). This is so bland, and looks like a show house. Where are the signs of life, and of having two children? No offence, it isn't hideous, it's just not an interesting home.
Those little cast aluminum tables are everywhere now, they're kind of cute. I usually love very modern interiors but I'd have to agree that this one is missing something.
love the artwork...great space.
I was glad to see the comment from design1211 ... It's a gorgeous house, and some of the artwork is beautiful. Also there are some nice furnishings, and everything is tastefully arranged. For all the money that went into this place, I want to see more originality.
To hide or not to hide, that is the question. While there are valid reasons for its use as a decor choice, there are equally valid reasons against using animal hides or furs. Perhaps everyone could avoid snark and honor that there are many personal choices in our interiors. Come on, people. The crummy comments ruin a good site.
Please tell me where you purchased the living room floor lamp. It would solve a lighting problem for me.
The lamp in living room is a knock off arco lamp from ebay. Don't remember the name of the company, paid around $350.
The mobile is not a Caldor, it was left by the previous owners, too hard to take down. Wondering why there is no kitchen? We're slowly working our way to furnishing and renovating. Not quite finished. Cowhide rugs, hanging chair are Ikea. Lamb rug, Costco. They hold up well, organic in shape, inexpensive and work well with my allergies. Other rug in living room is from Reside in Cambridge. Don't remember name of colors in rest of house.
that bathroom is FABulous!!!
Very nice space. However, the two gold stripes on the fireplace are very retro and need to be removed!!
The house looks amazing, but I'm sure they paid a fortune for the designer and furniture....and what a waste of money, in my opinion. I'm all for simplicity, but this is just boring. It lacks something -- no pop, no pizzazz, no interest.
Artwork, deck, floor to ceiling windows all very cool.

'Babies' Is a Movie for Mommies
Wendy Walsh: This year's Mother's Day wish took barely a second of contemplation for me: I wanted to see the new documentary, "Babies." I had seen the trailer in a movie theater and was counting the days until the Mother's Day weekend release.
And I was not disappointed. "Babies" follows four babies from four very distinct cultures, from birth to walking -- and it is guaranteed to put a wide smile on any mother's face. The little "stars" of this heartwarming documentary live in Namibia, Mongolia, Japan and the United States, and the varied parenting styles are as fascinating to witness as are the emotional stories told on the babies' faces. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Thomas Balmes, from an original idea by Alain Chabat, the genius of "Babies" is its absence of narration and its use of extreme close-ups to express the emotional journey of the first stage of humanity. The adults are merely body parts in the background, going about their lives while the babies' faces reveal their bewildered, frustrated and joyful awakening to their environment. If a baby's measured frown can convey the phrase "What the f---?", this film captures it.
This is an especially important film for two kinds of American mothers: new mothers consumed with worry for the safety of their little bundles of joy, and seasoned mothers still plagued by guilt at the thought that they might have made mistakes in their child's life. Once you see a Mongolian hospital worker tying up a newborn until the child almost reaches the point of asphyxiation -- and then sending it home on the back of a motorcycle, or an African baby dragging itself across the dusty ground to plop headfirst into a small stream to slurp up water, you know that most babies do survive without harm. And when you compare those babies' natural surroundings to the wide-eyed intake of urban centers like Tokyo and San Francisco, you get a sense that environment does shape our perspective.
Of particular interest to me were the various styles of breastfeeding. From the Namibian mother whose engorged glands hang free for years and serve any child who asks, to the modest American mother who switches to a bottle faster than any other, the cultural differences are obvious.
Although there is a unique story to be told by each baby (and our heart goes out to the Mongolian baby, who is tortured by his homicidal toddler brother), the joy and struggle of developing humanity is universal. I highly recommend this sweet, fascinating film.

LAKE TOWNSHIP, OH (TOLEDO NEWS NOW) – With 100 percent of precincts reporting, the Lake Local School levy has narrowly passed.
The levy passed with 52.39 percent of the vote. Unofficial tallies show 1501 votes for the levy, with 1364 being cast against.
Voters had rejected levies in August and November of last year.
Leaders say Lake had faced severe cuts if the levy did not pass. Board members had already cut 43 staff positions, closed an elementary school and ended all-day kindergarten in March.
Officials say the passage of this levy will not bring back any services that were cut in March, but that no additional cuts will be necessary.
The 6.75 mil levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $200 per year.
Just last week the Lake Local Board of Education voted to place a back-up levy on the November 6 ballot in case Tuesday's vote did not turn out in their favor. That levy will no longer be necessary.
"This community tends to come together when we need it the most. You look back at the events of June 2010, and the community rallied, the people around our community came together to help us," said Lake School Board Member Scott Swartz.
Last week, the district opened a new high school after the old building was destroyed by a tornado in June 2010.

Brett M. Gardner (born August 24, 1983, Holly Hill, South Carolina) is an American Major League Baseball left fielder for the New York Yankees. Gardner, who is 5' 10", bats and throws left-handed.
In 2001, Gardner attended walk-on tryouts for the baseball team at the College of Charleston. After the tryouts, Coach John Pawlowski told the players that he would contact them if they made the team. Without hearing a word from the coach, Gardner came to the field the next day for the first official practice, wearing his high school uniform. When Pawlowski asked Gardner why he was there, Gardner told him that he knew he was capable of playing at the Division I level. Pawlowski told Gardner that he could practice with the team, but if at any time if Pawlowski saw that Gardner wasn't capable then he would be let go.
Gardner was a three-year starter at the College of Charleston. In 2004, he was chosen to the All-Southern Conference Team. His .447 batting average was third in the nation in 2005, and his 122 hits tied for most in the country. His 85 runs in 2005 is the all-time record at College of Charleston, and his 38 stolen bases led the Southern Conference. He wrapped up his Cougar career as a third-team All-American and a second-time All-Southern Conference player, sporting a .382/.456/.508 career line, mostly from the lead-off spot.

Richland is located in southeastern Washington at the meeting of the Columbia and Yakima Rivers. Home to the famous Hanford site, the city has become popular for its abundant wildlife and beautiful views. Richland continues to climb in population, and in 2011, the city had approximately 49,500 residents. People enjoy all Richland has to offer with Richland apartments for rent.
The city started out as a small farming community, but in 1943, the population boomed when the government built the country's first nuclear reactor on the Hanford site.
The Hanford site of the country's first nuclear reactor still plays a major role in Richland's economy. It advances science and technology in the area, and the Hanford Reach - the last free-flowing stretch of the Columbia River - is now a National Monument. Richland has even deeper roots in the country's history because of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which made its way through the Tri-Cities area in 1805.
Richland offers a host of outdoor adventures, from motorsports at Horn Rapids ORV Park to biking its extensive trail system. But, Richland is not just for adventure-seekers - it's perfect for families too. In 2012, Kiplinger named Richland as No. 2 in its list of the"10 Greatest Cities to Raise Your Kids." Adults and children alike will enjoy the city's fishing pond, splash park and 300 sunny days per year. Thrill-seekers and families can make the city their own with a rental in Richland.
Richland is also near Washington's wine region, and has a number of delectable local vineyards and wineries in town. Residents and visitors alike enjoy having a number of local vino brands to choose from.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. (WHAS11) – David Camm walked out of the Boone County courthouse a free man Thursday afternoon after a jury found him not guilty in the murders of his wife Kim and their children.
Kim Camm's parents Frank and Janice Renn returned from Lebanon one day later, shocked by the not guilty verdict. Friend and attorney for the Renn's Nick Stein spoke on their behalf about how they're coping and where they go from here.
Now that the verdict is in, the judge of David Camm's third murder trial gave us an up close look at hundreds of pieces of evidence in the case. Camm's much talked about t-shirt, riddled with holes where blood spatter was cut out and analyzed, his basketball shoes, the paneling from inside the family Bronco, and a bullet casing were on display. After 13 years and three trials, Camm was found not guilty of killing Kim and the children.
"It was horrible again this time, 13 years later and I'm glad it's over," Stein said. "I wish it would've been a conviction and affirmed on appeal, but it's not and they're going to live with that."
Stein said the verdict was devastating for Frank and Janice.
"Especially Frank, I think he took it the hardest and I don't blame him after 13 years of this agony," Stein explained. "They sat there and watched three convictions, two of David and one of Boney and they thought they were going to get the same result here."
Time and location may have worked against the prosecution.
"Thirteen years is a long time. Plus, the level of passion in Lebanon, Ind. with jurors that go home and don't have to be accountable to the citizens in their community," Stein said.
The Renn family's days in court aren't over yet. Eleven years ago, the family filed a wrongful death suit. They are also still embroiled in a battle with David over more than $625,000 of insurance money and money from Kim and the children's estates.
"It's not this money, they don't need this money. They have a simple way they live their life and they're happy with it. They don't want David to have it because they don't think he deserves it," Stein said.
Stein believes the civil suit will force Camm to tell his story about what happened the night Kim and the kids were killed, in his own words.
"Well, for instance, we're going to take David Camm's deposition at some point and he can't hide behind the Fifth amendment," Stein said.
They plan to move forward with the suit sometime within the week.
Calls to Camm's attorney for the civil suit have not been returned.
