The best graphics mods of 2012
Running a website called Dead End Thrills (about pictures of grafix), I spend a lot of time playing with visual mods. When PCG asked me to list my favourites from 2012, I agreed thinking I could do it in the style of the prize round from Bullseye. "You'll be up all night 'cause it don't look like shite." "Act well-heeled with this depth-of-field." But that wouldn't work overseas, they said, and stopped being funny after two examples.
Here's a straightforward top ten, then, in no particular order.
Battlefield 3 screenshot by Jim Snook (jim2point0)
No sooner had Nvidia's Timothy Lottes introduced FXAA (a 'fast approximate' antialiasing solution effective, unusually, upon deferred rendering and shader aliasing) than 'some dude' (their username - bet it's a lady) weaponised it into a DLL injector for most DirectX games. Copy it into the same folder as the game's binary and it hooks the calls to DirectX, softening the edges most AA methods can't reach.
Then things got interesting. Tonemapping, digital vibrance, luma sharpening and other neat effects got thrown into the mix, giving us the power to customise the look of most modern games. It's also one of the most reliable, no-nonsense screen capture tools: just hit your assigned hotkey and a lossless image plops into the game's folder.
Christian Jensen's SweetFX is the next evolution. Using SMAA for antialiasing, its features include S-Curve contrast adjustment and a filmic Cineon DPX treatment. Popular presets for these injectors include the Mass Effect 3 'Illumination' mod and James Snook's work with Borderlands 2 and Dishonored. When it comes to cheap, powerful tweaks to colour, image quality and luminosity, PC gamers have never had it so good.

It is the greatest., by CLYDE on 02/24/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Prius V, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Love it. I am getting between 48 to 51 mpg. Drove to Illinois, (2800 miles) and paid $298 for gas.
Cons: Getting use to the start button, but I guess all the new cars have that feature now.
Overall review: I give it a 10 rating.

Excellent Car! by An MSN Autos Consumer on 07/03/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Prius V Five, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Cargo Space, excellent gas mileage,, we are averaging approx. 46-47 miles per gallon. Also like the power button when we need to pas someone quickly
Cons: The only con I have is that the heated seats don't stay on when turned on.
Overall review: Excellent car.
Review ID: #574186 Is this review offensive?
My Dream Car by An MSN Autos Consumer on 05/25/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Prius V, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I couldn't be happier with this car. I am averaging 51 mpg and I run the AC on high and drive on the interstate each day. It's a beautiful vehicle and it drives like a dream.
Cons: I only got a one CD player. My Corolla had a 6 CD player. Small complaint. The car is fantastic.
Overall review: I highly recommend this car. It drives like a luxury vehicle - very smooth handling on the road.
Review ID: #573025 Is this review offensive?
The Economy Hauler by Bill on 05/07/2013. Trim: 2013 Toyota Prius V Five, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I love the gas mileage and the simplicity of the controls. This car gets me where I want to go and has plenty of cargo space. I have had the Prius V for over a year and a half with no problems.
Cons: Road noise.
Overall review: I bought this vehicle because I wanted a small wagon that got good gas mileage with ample cargo space to haul all of our stuff to our vacation home in the summer. The Prius V accomplished both tasks. There is a lot of cargo space in the Prius V as well as a big roomy back seat to haul passengers. The gas mileage is excellent. I constantly get gas mileage in the high forties and sometimes fifty plus. The controls in the Prius V are easy to operate and other than moderate road noise (tires, road?) I have no issues. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Cons: Some road noise - bearable.
Overall review: Would recommend this car to anyone looking for a gas sipping cross country hauler.

The company continues to retain its family values as part of the day to day running without hindering the progressive nature of the business. This has enabled Bird's to maintain its impressive and well respected position within the industry – here and abroad – and with a customer base that includes many blue chip organisations.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our first year at Springwood has been a very positive and rewarding experience for my entire family. The faculty and staff at Springwood are devoted to providing an academic setting that is state of the art, and I am confident that my child is receiving the best possible education. Springwood is committed to providing a powerful, Christian based, educational environment for its students, and words cannot express my deep appreciation for the opportunity to be a part of that commitment.
Springwood was my first choice when it came time to enroll my children in school. My husband, however, was not convinced it was the right decision. He had always attended public school and did not see the need to send them to a private school. After many hours of looking at the campus, interviewing teachers, the elementary director, and the headmaster, he was certain that Springwood was the place for our children. With a law enforcement and military background, he was very concerned about their safety in school as well as the curriculum. He was very pleased with how Springwood School addressed both concerns. Both he and I have been very impressed with the curriculum as well as the constant communication and accessibility of the teachers and administration. We are also extremely excited about the new Headmaster, Mr. Parsons. His positive energy, genuine love for our children, and Christian influence is exactly what we want for our children. We are so excited about the direction he is taking Springwood and cannot wait for what lies ahead!
Well, I am parent of 2 children who are currently attending this school. The academics are great, but teachers have difficult time disciplining many students in my oldest child's class. There is constant bullying and confrontations among girls and boys, especially physical altercations between girls and boys. Girls behave .... Overall, I would rate the school on academics (4star) because it is 1 grade behind Georgia. When moved, my son was learning elementary pre-algebra. I give 2 stars because of the constant bullying and lack of respect from the students toward other classmates. I give the teachers 5 stars for tolerating disrespectful students.
I am a student of Springwood. I have gone there since kindergarten. Loved every year. We have gotten a new headmaster and our school spirit and campus has improved so much since school started back. My teachers are very educated and teach us well. We got 56 new students this year and we hope for much more next year. Lastly, our technology program is excellent.
We moved our family to the area from metro Atlanta in search of a better quality of life and a family oriented community. With education a top priority, we were looking for a private school similar to what we experienced in Atlanta. Springwood has met and exceeded all our expectations...................and at a third of the cost!
I have had three children attend Springwood and I have been very satisfied. The first two were boys and were well prepared to get into good and nationally recognized liberal arts college. The last child, a girl, is a senior and will also be able to attend a top liberal arts college. Students graduating from Springwood are able to write!! They have also been exposed to the latest computer technologies which they will be asked to use at college. The fine arts program is also especially good....a rarity for this geographic area.
Springwood just introduced a pioneering and high-tech Tablet Computer program for every student in the high school. The kids love it and are excelling. We moved to Lanett from metro Atlanta several years ago. Some of the local residents that don't have a frame of reference think Springwood is too expensive but at around $6,000/child, it is an extraordinary value for a college-prep academy. The campus is beautiful, the amenities are incredible, the teachers are outstanding and the education is unparalleled. Also, the students are bright, respectful and talented. Truly, I couldn't find a better group of peers for my kids.
Springwood has always been and continues to be an excellent private school offering strong academics and varied extracurricular activities. Many students participate in 3-4 activites and become excellent leaders as well as scholars. The technology program is the best in the area, and the size of the school allows for exceptional personal attention.
My children have been attending Springwood for over 12 years and the education they have received and experiences they have had have been worth every penny spent on tuition. One has recently graduated and is currently enrolled in a four -year state university and feels very well prepared. My children have not only gotten a great education but have also been able to be involved in a lot of activities including varsity sports, which they probably wouldn't have been involved in if they had attended public schools.
If you look into independent schools, Springwood offers incredible price/value. It is blessed with an endowment that is able to keep the tuition artifically low. Schools of comparable quality and programming cost much much more! If you want a Christian environment with college-prep academics, it really is a great option.
My child received a very good education here but the tuition is outrageous and requests for money is ongoing. Discipline is great and students were always very respectful to me as an adult.
Good school but way over priced and always asking for money.
i'm a student at springwood school...and honestly it run by a bunch of cheapskates...they have a very unreasonably high tuition and they still beg for donations from alumni and anyone else who will give them anything...o yea and we are no where near what you would call racially diverse...we have maybe 5 african-americans in a school of 400+...honestly you'll find much better public schools in auburn and opelika than in any of the private schools around here

While the Los Angeles Clippers continue their search for a new head coach, a familiar name has now been brought out. Former Portland Trailblazers' Nate McMillian.
According to Broderick Turner of The Los Angeles Times, McMillan, who was terminated halfway through his seventh season with the Trailblazers after a 43 wins, 20 losses in 2012, has drawn interest as a possible replacement.
As the Clippers look for a replacement for just-let-go coach Vinny Del Negro, former Portland Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan has emerged as a potential candidate, according to several NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the situation.
This isn't the first time there's been word of McMillan's return. A couple of weeks ago, we reported that McMillan was the frontrunner of the Detroit Pistons coaching gig. Besides the Pistons and the Clippers, McMillan has also drawn interested from the Atlanta Hawks.
Over his 12 years as a coach, McMillan posted 478 wins and 452 losses. Does McMillan deserved another shot in the NBA? Sound off in the comments below or simply cast your vote.

The New York Islanders traded forwards Peter Regin and Pierre-Marc Bouchard to the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday in exchange for a fourth round draft pick.
This deal is the first of many general manager Garth Snow is expected to make before the trade deadline arrives on March 5th. A roster freeze will go in effect during the Olympic break which begins after Saturday's games.
Neither Regin nor Bouchard contributed as much as expected when they acquired by the Islanders before the current season.
The 27-year-old Regin scored two goals and had seven points in 44 games this season. His plus/minus rating was minus-10.
Bouchard, a former first-round pick of the Minnesota Wild, never really thrived on Long Island. He was originally expected to compete for a spot on the top line but that didn't work out during the pre-season. In 28 games with the Isles, Bouchard scored four goals and accumulated nine points in 28 games. He had a minus-nine plus/minus rating. He was sent down to Bridgeport of the AHL after clearing waivers in December.
This was a minor trade in which Snow got something for two players that really never fit into the organization's plans. It is likely the first of many deals to come before the deadline.
The Islanders recently made substantial offers to forward Thomas Vanek and defenseman Andrew MacDonald but neither player accepted the proposed contract. Both are considered part of the core of the team and both are now expected to be dealt before the trade deadline.
The Islanders finish up their pre-Olympic schedule tomorrow night at 7:00 PM when they host the Colorado Avalanche.
The Islanders activated defenseman Travis Hamonic off the injured reserve on Friday afternoon. Hamonic has been out of the lineup since January 12 with a concussion.

We were ready, but the Swiss weren't! The most memorable part of the journey was not the beautiful scenery, the picture postcard lakeside villages, the mountains, or the waterfalls.

Today, I was searching the web for sevices I thought could help my success business. It was funny I was reading a USA today article and it was talking about media boosting, whcih I guess is a new craze to increase traffic to your website. I was surprised that so many people were paying for this but because they were I thought I should probably try this out myself. I found a good reference for a place to get some media boosting from the website http://www.Topupviews.com.
I know that some of you alreadly know about this idea, if not please send me your questions because I would love to keep this discussion going on and on. It is interesting to me how to market your products. It is great there are companies out there that are bringing customers to your doors in new ways.

Seeking Large Mushroom Shaped Container
Good Questions
Q: I'm looking for a mushroom shaped storage container for all the doll house stuff my daughter will be getting for Christmas. We're buying her the adorable Fairy Forest Lodge, along with the super cute mushroom furniture. I thought it would be nice if there was a big red mushroom basket or bin sitting next to it to make clean up easy - something with a lid preferably. Any ideas where to find something like that or a DIY idea?
Sent by Laura
Editor: I couldn't find anything like you describe. Perhaps you could paint a wood box or even a lidded cardboard box? Readers, what do you think?

That set is adorable (bookmarked!), but the pieces look too delicate to store in a bin- maybe you should have a dedicated little table for it, or a low wall shelf or something.
A square box can be easily made from either a/b plywood or reclaimed wood or you could buy a cube shaped planter box. Paint this brown, or whatever stem color you like. Either buy or cut a round top...thin is ok for something like this, so plywood would be fine. On the underside of the round, mark out the inside lines of the box. Put blocks made from spare wood. This will hold the lid in place, like a puzzle piece. Placing a piano hinge on one side, coupled with a chain on the other side will keep the lid attached and limit the movement. However, it will not guard against pinched fingers. A relatively lightweight lid that acts more like a tray might be easier for your daughter.
Pain the top red with white spots...with maybe a little bug drawn on there. This creates not only a storage box, but also a table that she can use with the toys.
I would make it. I would use fabric and foam to make the top cushy, use a lightweight round something, maybe plastic. I'm sure you can find a white, cylindrical storage unit, and just attach the mushroom top to that. I know I didn't describe that very well. Just an idea, but ask if you want more detail.
That play set is to die for. Your little girl will love it I'm sure!
How about a five-gallon bucket with the top covered with carved upholstery foam, and then covered in spotted fabric?
Look for a round storage ottoman (like this one from WalMart, but maybe brown or tan instead), and then reupholster the lid, using extra foam, and red fabric. Add white dots (sew, iron-on, applique or fabric paint). Good luck!
What AmberM said. /\
I was in our local korean market and they had those little jello-shot things in cookie-jar sized plastic mushroom containers. i ended up with an adorable chicken I put some sewing stuff in... maybe something like that would work? it was $4 :)
More DIY than using an ottoman, but if you feel like going for it, here's what I'd do:
You could use a cardboard sonotube for the base (from Home Depot, Lowes, etc.?) http://www.sonotube.com/products/sonotubeconcreteforms.aspx
Wrap it in batting and upholster it in a white waxed canvas or vinyl - something wipeable.
For the base, you could use one of those plant stands on wheels, sometimes they come with discs attached, or you can add one to a base:
http://www.nextag.com/14430-Down-Under-Plant-621641483/prices-html (The Ikea one came to mind, but they're not the sturdiest if it's going to be crawled on: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/10155666/)
For removable lid, you can cut a plywood circle or see if there's something the right size and ready-made in the hardware store. The lid can then be upholstered in a red and white polka-dot fabric. Or, better, check out some place for a round table top, remove the legs or base, and use that. Better even if you can get one with a lip or frame underneath that will keep the lid from sliding off the sonotube.
Ditto to Lisa K. That's what I was going to suggest.
Thanks for all the great ideas! I think finding a brown, cylindrical container and upholstering the top with some padding and some mushroom looking fabric (red & white) is just about my skill level. But IroquoisCasual may be right - I hadn't considered that the furniture might be too fragile to toss in a bin. When it all gets here I'll have to see and make the call from there. Thanks again, everyone!
Do you have a big asian grocery store? I second SaraKenobi- the container for all the jello cups are cute and I think there's even a carry handle. Nice because the body is clear and you can see what's inside. Unfortunately I'm out of town for a bit so can't post a pic so you can see!
This is the general idea:
Oh, that is super cute, kitkabbit! I ended up finding a great Etsy shop that is going to make a custom "upcycled lidded pot" for me out of red crocheted fabric. Check out her shop - super cute stuff:
I will post a picture/link once it's done!

I replaced the 28 year old paper cone speakers in my 1986 Jaguar with four of these 4" two-way speakers. They're the biggest that would fit without modification. Being 4 ohm rather than the old 8's they're only getting about 10W each from the original head unit (Jaguar-branded Alpine). Nevertheless, my "system" now sounds fresh and crisp throughout the volume range and right down to the lowest frequencies these can produce, about 100Hz. So I can hear the bass being played but I sure can't feel it the way we're used to these days. Therefore my next step is to add a head unit that can give me pre-amp out to a small sub such as the Kenwood KSC-SW11. That should be a perfect match for the Alpine SPS-410 speakers.

Texas A&M University will be looking for a new school president next year. Dr. R. Bowen Loftin announced on Saturday that he would be stepping down as the university president effective January 13, 2014. With Loftin in charge of the school, they were able to make the move to the SEC for athletics, which resulted in a huge increase of profit and interest in the university.
"Dr. Loftin has led Texas A&M University through a tremendous period of growth and advancement, ranging from the move to the SEC to over $700 million in research to the largest freshman class in the school's history this fall," said Phil Adams, chairman of The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, via the TAMU Times. "His service and commitment to Aggieland is appreciated and will long be remembered."
Since taking over as president in in February 2010, Loftin has been responsible for helping the school grow to a record number of students and creating partnerships that will allow the university and students to continue to grow and bring in extra avenues to enhance their education.
Chancellor John Sharp will launch a national search for Loftin's replacement as the university hopes to continue heading in the right direction.
"Loftin embodies the Aggie Core Values. We owe him an extreme debt of gratitude for his steadfast leadership and guidance, which has elevated Texas A&M into one of the best universities in this country," said Sharp. "He is absolutely at the top of his game and we look forward to his continued service."
Loftin issued a statement to address his departure and he promised to continue giving 100 percent to his students throughout the final months of his service.
"I will spend the next five months on programs and plans currently in development, such as management of the largest student body in the history of the school. In the following period, I will work with Provost Karan Watson as well as many of our deans and system agency directors toward the launch of a new institute at Texas A&M – to serve the state, the nation and the world. I will certainly miss being 'aggieprez' (my twitter handle), but I will still be part of this great university and will be serving on the 'front lines' of the academy, side-by-side with those I love the most—our students."

Got all the items in week 1 quiz….not bad for a start.
My research topics
I have decided to take on the Gapminder data set for the Stats course. I am most interested in associating "Democracy" level of each country with people's incomes, as may be measure by their employment, including female employment, GDP per capita or the income per person. Moreover, it is interesting to see how "democracy" is associated with Internet use, and life expectancy.
For the second construct, in relation to employment and income, I thought it's about democracy and the "quality" of life as may be measured by life expectancy, oil consumption per person, residential electricity consumption, and number of Internet users.
I just created this blog for the Passion Driven Statistics course in Coursera Wesleyan University

Gearing up for a laptop purchase this Black Friday, but not sure which deal will give you the best value for your hard-earned cash? Well, we've dug that up for you so you don't have to do the work.
The Lenovo G575-438343U in Best Buy stores will cost you only $179, and is a very solid option for a full-size, 15.6-inch laptop. Hiding under the hood is a decent AMD E-300 1.3GHz dual-core processor–capable enough for everyday computing tasks and light gaming. It's also got a 1366×768 display resolution, DVD burner, a 0.3-megapixel web camera, four USB 2.0 ports, Wi-Fi, MMC/SD card reader, and a full-size keyboard with a numeric pad. The one missing thing that you might look for is an HDMI port, but all told the G575-438343U is still undoubtedly a steal.
Best Buy's print ad states that it will provide about 10 units of the laptop in each of its brick-and-mortar stores. If you're interested in a cheap but sturdy notebook, be sure to keep your eyes open for the G575-438343U this Black Friday.
Looking at Best Buy's specs and the few photos offered, it appears that this model actually does NOT have 4 USB ports or the multimedia card reader. Still, for $179, those of us who live with 7-year-old laptops by using USB hubs and external card readers can probably figure out how to get by…

There is one sin: to call a green leaf gray,
Whereat the sun in heaven shuddereth.
There is one blasphemy: for death to pray,
For God alone knoweth the praise of death.
There is one creed: ''neath no world-terror's wing
Apples forget to grow on apple-trees.
There is one thing is needful everything
The rest is vanity of vanities.

Valdosta - Crystal Riddle went through a lot to win her car. "We had to sit in there for two weeks, depend on people to bring us food, it was hot and it stunk," said Riddle.
When she was announced the winner, she couldn't have been happier. But her prize wasn't what she expected. "I've only driven it five times since I got it," said Riddle.
Crystal's car has been in and out of the shop since she drove it off the lot back in June. "Its had to have a new battery, the dash lights went out, I got pulled over once because they headlights went out," said Riddle. "Just recently, the tire split while I was driving down the road with my young son."
Crystal won the car through a contest sponsored by Hot 102.7 and Kirill Kia. Kirill says they'll continue to fix her car at no charge to her until the problems are solved. Even though she signed a document saying she took the car "as is," she still feels cheated. "I lost a lot," said Riddle. "I feel like they got all this publicity, and I'm the one paying for it."
Now her garage is empty, and she's depending on friends and family for rides. "I had a 1993 car, but I sold it when I got this car, and now I have nothing," said Riddle. "My old car would've worked a lot easier than the one I won."
Crystal's car is in the shop now for a split tire and damaged hood latch. She doesn't know how long it will take to be fixed, but hopes this is its last visit.

Crocs' Turnaround Is Floundering: Time to Look Elsewhere
Rupert is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Crocs (NASDAQ: CROX), just like its feature product, is a love-hate company. The stock's valuation, compared to the rest of the sector, looks attractive (on a historical basis anyway). The company has tried to reinvent itself by putting new products on the market, but so far, according to the company's most recent results, this strategy is not working.
The fashion world is fickle and highly competitive, and for a company to become well-established and profitable, a unique selling point (USP) is needed. Crocs had this USP, but unfortunately, this turned out to be its main failing.
Sales are struggling
Crocs has its die-hard fan base, but this has not been enough to keep sales high and growing, so the company has tried to start again with a new range of products. So far, this has not gone to plan. Earnings fell 43% for the first quarter, while revenue expanded 10%, signifying that the company is spending heavily to try and ramp up sales growth. Management blamed this decline on colder-than-normal temperatures, which while true, is not reason for a near 50% drop in earnings. Management remains optimistic, but based on the fickle nature of Crocs' customers and over-reliance on the weather, I would not be overly optimistic because it appears that the company has no control over its sales growth.
In addition, Crocs' new line of products is similar to that of many other producers, with no identifiable difference apart from the Crocs brand/logo, and as already shown, this is not the company's strongest point.
Still, Crocs is well-positioned for a turnaround with a debt-free balance sheet and $290 million in cash. The company's gross margin stands at 46%, so Crocs continues to have plenty of cash flowing in (cash inflows have averaged $61 million per quarter for the last year).
In comparison
In comparison, Nike's (NYSE: NKE) biggest selling point is its brand name and the swoosh. The company's multiple selling lines and diversification offer multiple income streams, so dependence on one range of products does not limit the company. This is where Nike has been able to expand rapidly over the past year or so, while Crocs has floundered. In addition, Nike's size and economies of scale have meant that the company has been able to expand margins while driving for revenue growth. At the end of the second quarter, net profit margin was up 1% year-over-year, while revenue expanded 7.4% in the same period.
For this growth, investors must pay a premium. In particular, Nike trades at a 7% premium to the sector average P/E of 21.8 on a trailing 12-month basis, and on a forward P/E basis Nike trades at a 28% premium to its sector peers (Nike trades at a forward P/E of 18.1, while the sector average stands at 14.2). Still, with a globally recognizable brand, strong balance sheet (almost no debt), and expanding profit margins, Nike could be a good bet.
Hedge your bets
Unfortunately, both Nike and Crocs are exposed to the world of branding, which can be a risky business if a PR mistake is made. Without risk of branding and the fickle fashion world, Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) appears to offer growth at a reasonable price. With the company's EPS estimates being revised consistently higher throughout the past year, analysts are extremely bullish on the company. Foot Locker is low-priced on a forward basis, trading at a forward earnings multiple of 11.6 compared to the sector average.
Foot Locker does not achieve the same sort of returns as the likes of Coach and Nike, which are its sector peers. However, the company generates a return on shareholder equity of 17.5%, only slightly below the sector average. The company has $7.2 in cash per share, and discounting this from its stock price, the valuation looks even more appealing.
Additionally, Foot Locker's management proactively closed 39 poorly performing stores during the last quarter, with an additional 88 closures planned for this quarter. All in all, these stores will be replaced by 98 new stores and 64 store renovations. The proactive closure and opening of stores shows management's drive to proactively create shareholder value, and this is showing through in sales and EPS growth - something Crocs is struggling to achieve.
Foolish summary
Overall, it might be time to jump ship at Crocs. The company is struggling to turn itself around, but it's haunted by its old image and nature of the Crocs style. Indeed, while management is working hard to improve the situation, there is not showing through in either revenue or earnings growth. On the other hand, Foot Looker presents a hedged, well-diversified play on the apparel sector. Trading at a low valuation, Foot Looker looks attractive and the proactive management team should continue to generate shareholder returns.

Jackie Flanagan began Nana in 2003, driven by a mission to share beautiful, independently made, and finely-crafted clothing with the stylish women of Washington DC. Over the years, Jackie has achieved this mission through the Nana shop, and now Nana has evolved into a wholesale line, online shopping destination, and organizer of local fashion events like trunk shows, fundraisers, and parties.
The Nana line, which is produced only blocks from Jackie's home, is now in its third year and has earned a following of savvy shoppers. The vintage-inspired, sustainably-made label aims to make its wearer look AND feel confident, poised, and gorgeous.
Nana is named for Jackie's first fashion icon, her grandmother: "I've always admired my Nana's grace and subtle glamour. She has such style smarts!" The still-fabulous Nana lives outside Boston with her dog Carmen.

My friend Brian and I were chatting on IM and I was telling him about the Facebook meme which went around recently about "Your first born child". Of course, I have no children but I liked reading other peoples responses and most of the questions were like, did you know what you were having? What was your due date? etc. But question number 4 was "Was abortion an option for you?"
WTF, Facebook??
I mean this quiz was about YOUR FIRST BORN child. So clearly, everyone answering HAD THE CHILD. If abortion was an option, is that really something you want someone you went to 5th grade with and the dude who sits in the cube next to you (you know, the typical Facebook friends) to know about? Secondly, DEAR FACEBOOK MIND YOUR BUSINESS. Who wrote this question??? I am very (very) pro-choice, but holy fuck, that question is just RUDE.
There was also the one about your partner with such lovely questions as, "who's smarter?" Well THANK YOU FOR ASKING FACEBOOK! My partner is a dumb ass! Jesus H.
So, then Brian and I started brainstorming a new Facebook meme, The 25 Most Invasive Questions. Some we came up with were:
That's the title of the new OK Magazine cover story about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, and her presenting on the Oscars. Yes, forget the audience of millions of people and the room full of every star in Hollywood… her smile WAS ONLY FOR HER EX HUSBAND.
This story needs to die. It's hurting my brain.
It's too bad that by the time we were doing tequila shots in my living room, I was over you. I should have attacked you for old time's sake.
This is mine too. So true, so true.
The one moment I would like to relive is when I was 16 and you were about to kiss me.
This is mine although it was changed a little. The part that was left out was how I literally RAN AWAY. So yeah, can I get a do over?
My mother approaches technology much as one would a game of Mad Libs. For instance, when attempting to express the statement "I want to stream television online.", my mother will say something to the effect of "I want to download the television podcast." This is an actual thing my mother said to me today in the car. The list of computer jargon my mother possesses is short but I've learned to infer the meanings through context.
Computer Nouns
Computer Verbs
To speak this language it is only necessary to insert any of the nouns in the noun space in the sentence and any of the verbs in the verb space in the sentence. Mix creatively—coherence is irrelevant!
I told my mother my theory and she responded, "I know the word 'online'!"
My mother does not know what a podcast is. We had a very difficult phone conversation once where I tried to describe cutting and pasting. I was like, "You place your cursor where you want to start and then drag — do you know what your cursor is?"
This sounds like me trying to explain to Bob how to make a smiley face. "You hit the colon. NO THE COLON. Then you do the parathesis. Above the zero. NO THE ZERO. Hit shift. NO. SHIFT." Then he says, oh, it's on the same key as the question mark. To which I say "WHAT? No, the ZEEEROOO."
I finally gave up and had to leave the room.
Not to mention all the catalogs which will now go into a landfill and the energy it took to send the email out and produce all that useless information. I thought the same thing when I got it. Blah!
When major retail outfits send out catalogs and emails to the effect of "Go green in your kitchen!" By buying more stuff. Probably to replace the perfectly useful stuff you already have which is not not-biodegrading in a landfil because you are still using it.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have re-signed punter Mike Renaud and offensive lineman Steve Morley.
Both non-imports were set to become free agents in February.
"Both of these individuals exemplify solid Canadian talent for us," said Blue Bombers general manager Kyle Walters. "Steve is a veteran presence on our offensive line and a key piece up front for us moving forward, while Mike is a guy who has punted well over the course of his time here."
Renaud has spent the past five seasons with Winnipeg and in 2013 averaged 43.9 yards on 154 punts.
Morley started 11 games for the Bombers last season, his fifth in Winnipeg, and missed a few contests because of injury for the first time since joining the club in 2009.

Charter school executive Jerry Lewis announced Wednesday morning that he will challenge state Senate President Russell Pearce in the Nov. 8 recall election.
The Mesa Republican also filed election paperwork Wednesday, more than a week after signaling interest. Lewis said he would do more to promote economic and education policies if elected while working more closely with others. He said he was drafted by community members to challenge Pearce.
"I believe it's time to restore a style of leadership to Mesa that its residents can be proud of," Lewis said.
Lewis announced his candidacy to more than 200 supporters at the Wright House in Mesa, where he referred to Pearce as a friend. Both are Mormons and Lewis said he'll run a positive campaign without making personal attacks.
"Our faith teaches us to treat each other with respect and kindness," he said.
Maricopa County Supervisor Don Stapley said a groundswell of support has been building for Lewis and that the candidate is well-known in Legislative District 18.
"He'll restore sanity to the process instead of this concept that we'll rule by fear," Stapley said.
Lewis is a reluctant candidate, said Mesa attorney Dea Montague. Community members unhappy with Pearce had been searching for a candidate since the recall momentum grew earlier this year, he said. Both Lewis and the community group were unaffiliated with the recall campaign, Montague said.
Lewis declined to sign a recall petition when given the chance, Montague said. The draft committee persuaded Lewis to run because they thought Pearce worked on immigration issues at the expense of education and the economy, he said.
"In recent times the brand of Mesa and of Arizona has hurt our standing in the business community and our standing in education, and I believe that Jerry can have a very positive impact in changing that branding," Montague said.
The campaign is Lewis's first venture into the political arena.
His announcement was unconventional for an office-seeker trying to get media attention. Lewis left the event venue without taking questions from reporters or making himself available for individual interviews. Lewis spoke briefly and didn't delve into specific issues.
Stapley attended the announcement and said he wished he'd had the chance to advise Lewis to answer questions.
"He is not afraid of answering questions. He's new at this," Stapley said. "But what I know about Jerry is he's a very solid leader with very strong principles."
Lewis's supporters said the candidate would handle immigration differently than Pearce, who has become a national figure for drafting SB 1070 and other bills to discourage and deport illegal immigrants. With the court putting a hold on major provisions of SB 1070, supporters said Lewis recognizes immigration as a federal issue. However, they said Lewis believes in closing the border and working with federal officials to improve border security.
Matt Tolman, head of Citizens Who Oppose the Pearce Recall, said Pearce has done what his constituents want.
"They like the fact that he's for securing the border and protecting the voters in Mesa because the federal government isn't doing its job, and I don't think that's changed," Tolman said.
Pearce has handily won eight terms in the Legislature and has been seen by some as virtually unbeatable. Stapley said he sees that differently after hearing from so many voters in Pearce's district.
"There has not been any choice on the ballots for some time - any good choice," he said. "No one has challenged him because of the primary system."
Supporters said they expect Pearce will dwarf the amount of money Lewis can raise, given Pearce's national prominence on immigration issues. Already, a nationwide campaign has started to raise money for Pearce in what is Arizona's first-ever recall of a lawmaker. Lewis supporters said they plan an inexpensive neighbor-to-neighbor campaign.
Pearce supporters have raised as much as $20,000 a day a couple times during a big push, Tolman said. He hesitated to estimate how much money would be spent but said he heard one pollster estimate up to $2 million. Lewis is an assistant superintendant for Sequoia Schools, a Mesa-based charter school chain with 13 Arizona locations. He is a former certified public accountant and has been a vice president with the Grand Canyon Council of the Boy Scouts.
His campaign is headed by Mesa attorney Dea Montague, former Mesa Vice Mayor John Giles and attorney Clint Smith.
Lewis is the most prominent challenger, but the third to enter the race. Mesa audiologist Tommy Cattey filed paperwork July 16 with the Arizona Secretary of State's office. He's an independent. On Tuesday, Republican Olivia Cortes filed papers to begin her candidacy. Candidates must gather 621 signatures to get on the ballot.
Tolman said it's not surprising three candidates have entered the race and he expects more.
"If they want to run, I welcome them to run," Tolman said. "It will just bring out the distances and help everyone understand who is who."

As analysts debate over Facebook's "failure" of an Initial Public Offering, one thing has been made clear through some recently released Kauffman Foundation research: America's slump in IPOs does not bode well for our nation's job creation or economic growth.
Yesterday, the Kauffman Foundation announced a $1 million grant to Lorain County Community College to replicate its Innovation Fund model, which connects entrepreneurs to mentorship, education and capital, on a national scale.
When I was a wee lad in the ancient times of the 1970s, I remember an old commercial for Tootsie Roll Tootsie Pops that asked how many licks it takes to get to the center of their delicious lollipops. At the Foundation we are posing a similar question with a modern, caffeinated, twist and applying it to a slightly more constructive purpose.

Organza Draped Pick-up with Beaded Lace Empire Style L9479 174 175
Most Beautiful Girl in the World! This was my dress! I loved it! I went shopping with my mom, aunt and 1 bridesmaid. This was the 1 or 20 gowns that made my bridesmaid cry! I knew it was the one! I felt like a princess on my wedding day. The dress was comfortable, fit like a glove. I loved everything about it, soft, feminine, not too much bling, but just enough! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! February 1, 2012
Yeahhh!!! My Dress!! I initially wasn't going to go to DB but my mom, BM and MOH live in another state so I figured if I found a dress at DB it would be easy to match them up by wearing "my" dress in another states DB store. I fell hard for a similar dress (SWG339) because of all the visual variety in the skirt but I didn't like my look when I tried it on me. After trying on several other dresses, my mind kept going back to that other one so I kept looking online at DB. Mind you, I'm a tomboy and dress shopping was like a panic attack but Low and behold here is this one .. MY dress!! I was supposed to fly out for vacation the next day and couldn't go till I tried it on and wa-la! it was truly the One!! I love the skirt and how flowy it will be for my Spring April 21st woodsy /part aviation themed wedding and I love Love LOVE the Corset back!! I think it's a bit of fun spunk too in the skirt and with the bead work on the bodice and train is very pretty. I bought it in Ivory since it will fit our theme and I can't wait to wear it!! I must admit .. I do try on the dress a lot when FH is at work!! It feels so good to play dress up in it!! January 17, 2012
Perfect Dress I purchased this dress at David's Bridal last night! It was beautiful, the perfect dress! Every other one I tried on had something about it I did not like.. Except this one. Everything about it is wonderful! January 14, 2012
Like Kayak, Search one and DOne I went to DB with my bm's and I had no clue as to what I wanted. I am a tomboy by nature. I chose 4 dresses to try one this was actually the fourth one. She stated the other dresses were in the store and that she had to "locate them", she however knew exactly where this one was. I tried this dress on in a 12. Needless to say I was a bell ringer in less than 10 minutes. I didn't even try on either of my other picks. I fell for this dress super hard. I wasn't looking to spend a crock of dollars on my dress. The fact that is was on sale sealed the deal. I would have lay-a-wayed it had it not been. I can't wait for my handsome man to see me on June 24, 2012... I so wanted to show him the pictures I took while I was in the store, but of course I opted out. January 11, 2012

THERE HAS BEEN A DEATH —> starring Golshifteh Farahani, Amrita Acharia, and Saoirse Ronan
fake film meme (for theladymelisandre)
Reserved graduate student Mitra (Farahani) is three months away from earning her PhD in medicine at Oxford when male students begin turning up, gruesomely murdered, around campus. Having nursed a lifelong interest in criminology, Mitra decides to conduct a small investigation of her own… which eventually leads her to Sarah (Ronan) and Aisha (Acharia), a pair of extremely close best friends.
On the surface, Sarah and Aisha are star pupils in Oxford's undergraduate law program, and both girls are charismatic, well-liked, and on the road to major success… but Mitra feels there is something bizarre about them. After carefully staging a first meeting in order to introduce herself fo them, Mitra quickly becomes part of their tight-knit group, all with the intention of finding out the truth. As time goes by and all of them grow closer, Mitra becomes increasingly certain that her new friends are responsible for the murders… but less certain that she wants to turn them in.

A rant on "Just Sayin'"
Grates on me.
If you use this in your day-to-day, hit the showers.
I understand that when we retired "Whatever", you needed a quick fix. You took the easy way out.
Don't try to compensate for a lack of humor with the same bullshit crutch ever other loser grasping for personality does.
It's shit. And if you use it, you're shit.
All that being said, if you truly want to be a ground breaker, try some of these out and get back to me:
Denise, those jeans make your ass look as wide as a racquetball court. Just sayin'.
Hey, Bob! About time you hit the Oral Hygienist…Just sayin'.
Your kid looks like E.T. fell down a flight of stairs. Just sayin'.
It's not you, it's me. And your yeast infection. Just sayin'.
Be ahead of the curve and retire this horseshit unless you want to sound like every other wannabe hip spare on the block.
Man, you suck. Just sayin'.

Billionaire Dan Loeb's New Stock Picks
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Dan Loeb's Third Point has over $4 billion in assets under management, as Loeb's mix of activism- often quite hostile to current management, as was recently the case at Yahoo- and value investing has driven good returns for the fund and satisfied investors. By comparing the 13F filed for the end of September with the one filed for the end of June, we can see some of the stocks that were new holdings in Loeb's portfolio in the most recent filing. Read on for our quick take on Third Point's largest new positions for the third quarter and see the fund's full 13F portfolio.
Third Point liked Murphy Oil (NYSE: MUR), initiating a position of 4.9 million shares. In its most recent quarter, earnings dropped 44% on a very small decline in revenue; as with many oil and gas related companies, the stock price has lagged the market this year as prices have sunk. At a market capitalization of $11 billion, Murphy trades at 16 times trailing earnings. Loeb has told investors that he believes that the company could create shareholder value by spinning out its retail operations (read about why Loeb and other hedge funds like spinout situations).
Another spinout- or more accurately, a completed breakup- was diversified food and beverage company Kraft Foods (NASDAQ: KRFT), which manages the North American operations of the Kraft business following its division into Kraft Foods and Mondelez International. Kraft trades at 17 times forward earnings estimates, which puts it about in line with the valuations of other large food companies. The fund owned 5 million shares of the stock at the end of September. Even with the advantages of spinout situations, we think that we'd like to see more performance from Kraft Foods as a stand-alone company.
Nexen (NYSE: NXY) was another new pick. Nexen is also a special situation, as the company has received an acquisition bid from large Chinese oil company CNOOC. There is significant opposition to the deal in Canada, and so the current stock price is well below where the proposed transaction would take place as it's uncertain that the government will allow the purchase (the deal is currently under review, with a decision expected in early December). However, a number of hedge funds have seen this as a merger arbitrage opportunity, apparently confident that the deal will be approved.
Loeb and his team also bought shares of Internet security company Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC). The stock looks quite cheap, carrying trailing and forward P/E multiples of 11 and 10, respectively. It's turned in modest growth in recent quarters, but that is probably enough to justify such a low valuation. Fellow billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Investment Group increased its own holdings of Symantec during the third quarter (check out more of Ken Griffin's stock picks) and we think that we would like to take a closer look at the company to make sure that it can continue to generate at least some growth.
The fund took a position of 1.7 million shares in WESCO International (NYSE: WCC), a $2.8 billion market cap wholesaler of industrial and electrical equipment. Wesco reported an 18% increase in earnings in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2011, which came out of small revenue growth and a considerable increase in the company's margins. We'd note that as an industrial-related company it is tied to the broader economy with a beta of 2, and is also widely shorted with the most recent data showing 20% of the outstanding shares held short. However, the multiples look good at this company as well (for example, the trailing P/E is 14) and it too could be a good value stock if further review of its results indicate that it can continue its growth going forward.

PEEL – Eid Mubarak! The Muslim community of the Peel, Toronto and Halton...
January is National Crime Stoppers Month, and here in Peel the local volunteers who run the program are celebrating more than 4,400 crimes solved since inception.
Since becoming an independent program in this area 26 years ago, Peel Crime Stoppers has fielded 33,471 anonymous tips and solved 4,486 crimes in Brampton and Mississauga.
This year, the focus will be on taking illegal guns off local streets by promoting the guarantee of anonymity for all tipsters.
Tomorrow, Dave Forster, president of the Ontario Association of Crime Stoppers, and Audette Shephard, founder of Toronto UMOVE (United Mothers Opposing Violence Everywhere) will join Peel Regional Police and Peel Crime Stoppers at police headquarters in Brampton to talk about Crime Stoppers Month.
Last year, 2,564 anonymous tips were received by Peel Crime Stoppers, and from those tips, 141 suspects were arrested, 129 crimes solved, 393 charges laid and $555,976 worth of stolen property recovered, according to 2012 statistics just released.
Close to $11.3 million worth of illegal drugs were seized, also.
The program offers cash rewards for tips that lead to an arrest, but the majority of tipsters don't call Crime Stoppers for the cash. Only about 30 per cent of the cash rewards are ever claimed.
The strength of the program is in the anonymity it guarantees. Tipsters are typically people whose primary motivation is to help prevent or solve crimes in their neighbourhoods.
Tipsters don't have to give their name, phone number, or any personal information, and they never have to testify in court. They are assigned a code number which they can use to claim reward money.
The program runs on private donations and fundraising. No tax dollars are used.
Peel Crime Stoppers is run by a volunteer board of directors, and board members, as well as general volunteers, are always needed. Volunteers work to promote the program and help with fundraising events, school presentations, crime re-enactments for television, and special events.
For a volunteer application, go to the organization's website, www.peelcrimestoppers.ca. On the site are unsolved crimes, featured fugitives wanted by police, and more.
Anonymous tips can be made by phone, 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), on the website, www.peelcrimestoppers.ca, or by texting "PEEL", followed by your tip to CRIMES (274637).
There are more than 1,500 Crime Stoppers programs around the world.
The 2012 statistics (followed in brackets by the total for the past 26 years):
• 2,564 tips received (33,471);
• 141 arrests (2,494);

LAPD has shot five innocent people in the Dorner manhunt
February 12, 2013
Three members of a jazz band were shot by Los Angeles police Monday afternoon in relation to a massive hunt for an avenging ex-cop, police and witnesses said.
Police were reportedly acting on a tip in their search for Christopher Jordan Dorner when they stopped a van at an Arco station on La Cienega Boulevard near Interstate 405.The van was carrying three members of a Dave Brubeck tribute band and their manager.
Police then allegedly started shooting at the blue 1989 Ford Aerostar, hitting three men and riddling the van with bullet holes.
The three men, later identified as members of The Brubeck Ambassadors Jazz Band, were treated at the scene for gunshot wounds before being taken to an area hospital in stable condition, police said. The band's manager was unharmed.
The shooting occurred as local, state and federal police are conducting a massive search for Dorner, 33, an ex-LAPD officer who is suspected of fatally shooting an Orange County couple and three Riverside police officers, one of whom died.
Dorner reportedly declared in an online manifesto that he is seeking revenge against former LAPD colleagues he blames for ending his career. Authorities are offering $1 million for information leading to Dorner's arrest. Dorner's truck was found in Big Bear, Calif., last week.
All three of Monday's shooting victims are white. Dorner is described as African-American, 6 feet tall and 270 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
At a hastily-called news conference, LAPD Lt. Joseph Fryday said officers were following up on a tip that "a suspicious van was driving around Los Angeles, with Dave Brubeck music blasting from it at a high volume."
Fryday said Dorner admitted to being a fan of Brubeck, "which created the suspicion that Dorner might be in the van."
"Whenever you drive around Los Angeles, it's typically hip-hop and pop music blaring at an increased volume from people's cars," Fryday said. "It's rare to hear jazz music blaring from a vehicle at a high volume, so the officers decided to follow up on the call."
Brubeck, who died last year at age 91, is highly regarded among jazz fans as a brilliant pianist and composer.
Dorner identified Brubeck's 1959 "Take Five" hit jazz song as "the greatest piece of music ever, period" in a lengthy manifesto he posted on his Facebook page, in which he also identified and praised his favorite entertainers.
Fryday dismissed claims that the latest shooting is a sign of amplified fear among the police and of their inability to capture Dorner, who has been missing since last week.
"If anything, this latest shooting demonstrates just how dedicated police across the state are to bringing Christopher Dorner to justice for the crimes he has committed," Fryday said. (NO, major fail.)
"The public should be assured that we are doing everything we can to capture Christopher Dorner, even if it means shooting at every car and every person in California."
The Monday shooting follows several embarrassing incidents for police in their search for Dorner, who remains at large.
In one incident, police in Torrance shot a mother and daughter who were delivering newspapers. In another case of mistaken identity, police rammed an innocent motorist off the road because his pickup matched the description of Dorner's truck.
San Diego police also cornered an innocent man while acting on a lead that Dorner was hiding out in a motel.
Blasting jazz music in LA is now cause for suspicion… Seriously, LA area friends, watch out. Anyone could be targeted.
