Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 16The next day, you were walking to school with a tiny bit of nervousness and anticipation stirring inside you. You knew it was going to be awkward for you to walk up to Gilbert and tell him that you wanted to be friends after your rejection of his offer for so long, but it was something that you had to do no matter what.Besides, this is for my childhood friend. That was a thought that made you even more determined in finding Gilbert and accepting his request for friendship. The fact that you knew it would've brought happiness to your best friend to know that you had made a friend just as he had wanted made you smile. Sure, Gilbert had caused you a lot of pain in the past, but all of that was over, right? The most important thing that mattered was that he regretted what he had done and was asking you to forgive him, meaning he wanted things between the both of you to finally be right.When you arrived near the front of the school, you looked up towards the front steps to the entr
Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 13You let out a low moan as you struggled to open your eyes. The first thing you were aware of at that moment was the feeling of your head being pressed against what felt like a pillow and a dull, aching pain throughout your face. You were also able to detect that your nose was wrapped with something that felt like soft cloth. It took a few moments of you lying there quietly for you to finally realize what had happened. You had been in the gym playing the dreaded terror game known as basketball when you looked up to find the ball heading straight towards your face. You figured it must've knocked you unconscious, because you had no memory of the events that happened after you felt the ball make impact with your face.You gritted your teeth as you once again attempted to open your eyes, squinting against the unbelievably bright light that filled them. Once you were able to get them to more or less focus, you propped your elbows up on whatever it was that you were lying on and feebly
Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 14You had ended up staying in the nurse's office for the majority of the day, getting out only a few minutes before the end of the school day. A part of you was glad that you spent the day in there, since it gave you an excuse to skip most of your classes and an opportunity to gain a few extra hours of sleep. Another thing you were glad about was that Gilbert left the office shortly after the both of you had come to the agreement that you were only going to treat each other as acquaintances. You hoped that this meant he was no longer going to be pestering you and trying to get your attention because he wanted to be friends with you. You hoped that after this, he would really stop annoying you as much as he had before, maybe even leave you alone altogether. Because honestly, you would've been totally happy if he was completely out of your life and you never had to see or deal with him again.At first, Gilbert wanted to stay with you in the infirmary until you were allowed to leave,
Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 12Ever since that day when you had revealed your injuries in front of Gilbert, you made sure to stay as far away from him as possible at all times. There were some occurrences when you were walking down the hallway that you detected his presence and heard him attempting to get your attention, but you just simply ignored him. Now that he knew the full extent to what his bullying had done to you, you wanted absolutely nothing to do with him anymore. You were just going to put everything that happened between the both of you throughout these past three years to the back of your head and move on with your life. Instead, you were going to focus on things that were more important at the moment, such as finding a way to take all of your spring exams without failing any of them.Now, it was nearly three weeks since you had last talked to Gilbert, and by this point you were aware of how easier your life became now that you no longer had to deal with one of your biggest problems. You no longer spe
Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 11Later on that night, you instantly found that it was extremely difficult for you to fall asleep, and so you had spent the majority of the night tossing and turning in your bed, several thoughts running through your mind. Mostly, they were about that moment earlier that afternoon when Gilbert had told you he wanted to be your friend.After bullying someone so harshly up until the point of near suicide for almost three years, didn't at least a tiny part of him think that after only a day of acting nice and suddenly wanting for you to be his friend, wasn't he moving things going a little too quickly? He could have at least thought about your feelings a bit more. Even though he seemed to understand the pain you had went through during the time he had bullied you, he still didn't seem to realize how this affected the way you thought of him. Just because he was acting friendly to you now didn't mean you could've allowed yourself to trust him all of a sudden after all that he di
Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 10For the rest of that afternoon, you had gone through your remaining classes without paying even the slightest attention to what was being talked about. Instead of focusing in class, your mind was instead focused on what Gilbert had done while you had almost got bullied by another group of boys you were completely unfamiliar with. You had made an assumption a while before that pretty soon, Gilbert wasn't going to be the only one who was bullying you, and it had been proved right based on what happened after lunch. But instead of doing absolutely nothing or joining in as you were about to take a punch to the face by the unknown aggressor, he had stepped in and saved you. This was something that you weren't expecting at all.After all, wasn't Gilbert the one who wanted to bully you and see you get hurt? But after seeing the look he had given you earlier that morning, a part of you believed that his entire attitude had changed since your attempted suicide. It was because of t

Why hadn't I noticed this earlier?I don't know whether I should be happy and relieved or depressed and terrified...Once she finds out, she's probably going to kill me...!xxxYou sat on the edge of your bed, staring down at the photo of you and your best friend with exhausted, worn out eyes. It was already well into the evening, you still had not eaten dinner, and all afternoon you had done nothing but sit on your bed and contemplate over everything that had happened in school that day.One thing was clear: You were never brining any precious things to school with you ever again.But everything else...you found confusing and somewhat disturbing. The fact that you were once again bullied by a group of boys and one of them almost burn your most beloved childhood photo sent emotional triggers inside you that almost made you want to break down in tears.You thought back to what one of the boys said, about how the child in the
Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 8Gilbert had just walked out of the store, casually holding a pizza box in both hands that contained a few slices inside. But it wasn't two seconds that passed after he had opened the door to the store and walked outside that something heavy had fallen into his arms. He had been so surprised by the sudden occurrence that his balance had been lost and he had fallen backwards. He was confused on what had happened throughout the past couple of minutes until he looked up and saw you directly staring at him. And it wasn't until you had ran away after kicking him brutally in the stomach that he realized what had actually happened.You had jumped from the roof of the five-story building in a horrifying attempt to kill yourself. You had jumped because you had endured so much pain throughout your three years of going to high school that you felt like you just couldn't have handled any more of it. You jumped because it seemed to you that there was no other solution to your problems other than to
Bully!Prussia X Bullied!Reader: Forgotten CH 3You let out a low moan as you closed your eyes, leaning back so that your back was pressed against the chair you were sitting in.By the time the lunch period ended, you had still been lying sprawled out on the cafeteria floor after Gilbert had punched your empty stomach. Your mind had been spinning, you had wanted to vomit, and you had felt like you were going to pass out from the nauseating pain you had been feeling. Nobody ever seemed to notice you lying on the floor clutching your stomach with a slightly twisted face, since nobody ever came around the lunch table you were sitting at. Even after all the kids left the room and headed to their next period, you were in so much pain that it was barely possible for you to let out a small cry of help. Luckily, a janitor that had been cleaning up after that period had spotted you lying on the floor and carried you to the school nurse, a trip which seemed like hours to you.Now you were sitting in the exceptionally small waiting room, still

Why, out of all times, right when you were grieving over the parting of that boy, did you have a dream about one of the moments the both of you had together? Thinking back to what he said, you realized that throughout your elementary, middle, and high school years, you had not made a single friend.

Tuesday, January 31 - Jeffrey Zaslow - "The Magic Room: A Story About the Love We Wish for Our Dauhters" -The New York Times bestselling journalist and author of The Girls from Ames, Jeffrey Zaslow, takes us to a multi- generational family owned small-town bridal shop to explore the emotional lives of women in the 21st century.
You may not have heard of Fowler, Michigan, much less Becker's Bridal. But for the thousands of women who have stepped inside, Becker's is the site of some of the most important moments of their lives-moments that speak to us all. Housed in a former bank, the boutique owners transformed the vault into a "magic room," with soft church lighting, a circular pedestal, and mirrors that make lifelong dreams come true.
Illuminating the poignant aspects of a woman's journey to the altar, The Magic Room tells the stories of memorable women on the brink of commitment. Run by the same family for years, Becker's has witnessed transformations in how America views the institution of marriage; some of the shop's clientele are becoming stepmothers, or starting married life for a second time. In The Girls from Ames, beloved author Jeffrey Zaslow used friendships to explore the emotional lives of women. In The Magic Room, he turns his perceptive eye to weddings and weaves together secrets, memories and family tales to explore the hopes and dreams we have for our daughters.
Friday, January 27 - Patricia Schultz - "1000 Places to See Before You Die" -The world's bestselling travel book is back in a more informative, more experiential, more budget-friendly full-color edition. A #1 New York Times bestseller, 1,000 Places reinvented the idea of travel book as both wish list and practical guide. As Newsweek wrote, it "tells you what's beautiful, what's fun, and what's just unforgettable- everywhere on earth." And now the best is better. There are 600 full-color photographs. Over 200 entirely new entries, including visits to 28 countries like Lebanon, Croatia, Estonia, and Nicaragua, that were not in the original edition. There is an emphasis on experiences: an entry covers not just Positano or Ravello, but the full 30-mile stretch along the Amalfi Coast.
Every entry from the original edition has been readdressed, rewritten, and made fuller, with more suggestions for places to stay, restaurants to visit, festivals to check out. And throughout, the book is more budget-conscious, starred restaurants and historic hotels such as the Ritz,but also moderately priced gems that don't compromise on atmosphere or charm.
Wednesday, January 25 - Jo Piazza - "Celebrity Inc. - How Celebrities Make Money" -From $10,000 tweets to making money in the afterlife, a recovering gossip columnist explores the business lessons that power the Hollywood Industrial Complex
Why do celebrities get paid so much more than regular people to do a job that seems to afford them the same amount of leisure time as most retirees? What do Bush-era economics have to do with the rise of Kim Kardashian? How do the laws of supply and demand explain why the stars of Teen Mom are on the cover of Us Weekly? And how was the sale of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby pictures a little like a street drug deal? After a decade spent toiling as an entertainment journalist and gossip columnist, Jo Piazza asks the hard questions about the business behind celebrity.
Thursday, January 19 - Kyle Richards - "Life is Not a Reality Show" - In the wild world of Beverly Hills, high-priced glam squads, flashy cars, and off-the-charts drama are the norm. Enter Kyle Richards: born and raised in the nation's most dazzling neighborhood, she's practically royalty in the 90210 zip code. And yet her loving family life, lack of pretention (no nannies, stylists, or personal chefs for this diva), and "girls' girl" attitude make her a breath of fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Now, she's revealing how she achieves that perfect mix of celebrity and normality. In this collection of the best tips, advice, and strategies she knows, Kyle's talking friend to friend so you can create that blend of glitz and know-how in your own life:
Tuesday, January 17 - Simon Doonan - "Gay Men Don't Get Fat" - Simon Doonan knows that when it comes to style, the gays are the chosen people. A second anthropological truth comes to him midway through a turkey burger with no bun, at an otherwise hetero barbecue: Do the straight people have any idea how many calories are in the guacamole? In this hilarious discourse on and guide to the well-lived life, Doonan goes far beyond the secrets to eating like the French-he proves that gay men really are French women, from their delight in fashion, to their brilliant choices in accessories and décor, to their awe-inspiring ability to limit calorie intake. A Gucci-wearing Margaret Mead at heart, Doonan offers his own inimitable life experiences and uncanny insights into makes gay people driven to live every day feeling their best, and proves that they have just as much-and possibly better-wisdom, advice, and inspiration beyond the same old diet and exercise tips.
Wednesday, January 11 - Michael Krondl - "Sweet Invention: A History of Dessert" - From the sacred fudge served to India's gods to the ephemeral baklava of Istanbul's harems, the towering sugar creations of Renaissance Italy, and the exotically scented macarons of twenty-first century Paris, the world's confectionary arts have not only mirrored social, technological, and political revolutions, they have also, in many ways, been in their vanguard. Sweet Invention: A History of Dessert captures the stories of sweet makers past and present from India, the Middle East, Italy, France, Vienna, and the United States, as author Michael Krondl meets with confectioners around the globe, savoring and exploring the dessert icons of each tradition. Readers will be tantalized by the rich history of each region's unforgettable desserts and tempted to try their own hand at a time-honored recipe. A fascinating and rewarding read for any lover of sugar, butter, and cream,
Friday, January 6 - Alex Tresinowski - "An Invisible Thread: The True Story of an 11 year-old Panhandler, a Busy Sales Executive, and an Unlikely Meeting with Destiny". When Laura Schroff first met Maurice on a New York City street corner, she had no idea that she was standing on the brink of an incredible and unlikely friendship that would inevitably change both their lives. As one lunch at McDonald's with Maurice turns into two, then into a weekly occurrence that is fast growing into an inexplicable connection, Laura learns heart-wrenching details about Maurice's horrific childhood. Sprinkled throughout the book is also Laura's own story of her turbulent childhood. Every now and then, something about Maurice's struggles reminds her of her past, how her father's alcohol-induced rages shaped the person she became and, in a way, led her to Maurice.

2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STI - Click above to view the video after the jump
Yes, the wing is back, and with it comes even more of the adrenal gland-kicking performance we know and love from the Subaru WRX STI. Fuji Heavy Industries will have you believe this is the fastest STI ever, and judging by the fact that the 2011 model weighs less and uses a revised suspension, they may be right. Sure, there's no extra horsepower on tap, but why add ponies when you can shed pounds?
The company has released a new teaser for the four-door version (2011 will let you pick between the STI wagon and sedan), and we have to say the wide body treatment and that rear wing do much to give the latest WRX body some attitude. Sure, we wouldn't call it pretty, but that's an adjective we reserve for the intake on that devilish little turbo boxer four. Hit the jump to see the flick.

Dr. DeGarmo has conducted programmatic research on family stress and social learning models of parent and child adjustment to negative life events and socially disadvantaged environments. A major focus of his work has been on evaluation of parent training for families at risk for compromised parenting including divorced and remarried families, families in supportive housing, biological and foster parents in the child welfare system, and deployed and post-deployed military families. Recently, he has focused on the independent and interactive effects of fathering. DeGarmo has published over 65 papers, and over 20 efficacy and effectiveness evaluations including work on implementation process and fidelity, mediation and moderation in the context of RCTs and multilevel samples. DeGarmo has methodological expertise in structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling, and linear and nonlinear trajectory analyses.

Nội dung Text: Introdungcing English language part 32
- 172 EXPLORATION: INVESTIGATING ENGLISH LANGUAGE of the text. Of course, you might disagree and find that the work organises itself around a different prominent pattern. And also, of course, in each case there will be other linguistic features at other levels that work in parallel with the main stylistic feature. For each literary text, sketch out a stylistic analysis and explore the patterning to dis- cover the iconicity of the work. Activity 11.1 J Phonoaesthetic singing Investigate the sound-patterning in this poem by Rudyard Kipling. How do the sound-effects and the metrics help to create the sense of the text? How does the syntactic arrangement of the lines contribute to these effects? How do the word-choices parallel these patterns? Harp Song of the Dane Women What is a woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker? She has no house to lay a guest in — But one chill bed for all to rest in, That the pale suns and the stray bergs nest in. She has no strong white arms to fold you, But the ten-times-fingering weed to hold you Out on the rocks where the tide has rolled you. Yet, when the signs of summer thicken, And the ice breaks, and the birch-buds quicken, Yearly you turn from our side, and sicken — Sicken again for the shouts and the slaughters, — And steal away to the lapping waters, And look at your ship in her winter-quarters. You forget our mirth, and talk at the tables, The kine in the shed and the horse in the stables — To pitch her sides and go over her cables! Then you drive out where the storm-clouds swallow, And the sound of your oar-blades, falling hollow, Is all we have left through the months to follow. Ah, what is a Woman that you forsake her, And the hearth-fire and the home-acre, To go with the old grey Widow-maker? (Rudyard Kipling, 1906) Find a poem or transcribed song lyric that seems to you intuitively to have a strong or unusual sound. Try to describe it as accurately as possible, and then try to work out how the sound-patterning is significant in your interpretation of the text.
- EXPLORING LITERATURE 173 Pseudo-lexicology J Activity 11.2 The satirist Jonathan Swift wrote many punning verses and dialogues that he called 'Anglo-Latin' or 'Latino-Anglicus'. Try to read the following two poems out loud, and then work out how Swift has made English look like Latin. Can you rewrite the passage with conventional word-boundaries and spellings in English? Mollis abuti, Has an acuti, No lasso finis, Molli divinis. Omi de armis tres, Cantu disco ver Meas alo ver? (Jonathan Swift, c.1735) I ritu a verse o na molli o mi ne, Asta lassa me pole, a lae dis o fine; I ne ver neu a niso ne at in mi ni is; A manat a glans ora sito fer diis. De armo lis abuti hos face an hos nos is As fer a sal illi, as reddas aro sis; Ac is o mi molli is almi de lite; Illo verbi de, an illo verbi nite. (Jonathan Swift, c.1735) (Swift did not provide a 'translation', so the answer at the end of this unit is our best guess.) Can you find other literary texts in which the disruption or exploitation of morphology and word-choice is a major organising feature (see for example the John Lennon passage in C7)? Semantics in the head J Activity 11.3 The following passage is from near the end of Brian Aldiss' 1969 psychedelic novel Barefoot in the Head. Set in a post-apocalyptic future in which psychotropic bombs have poisoned the food-chain, the novel describes Colin Charteris' road trip across Europe, in which he gathers a convoy of vehicles and crazy travellers in a series of multiple crashes and confrontations. The style of the novel clearly aims to represent the states of mind of the war's victims. Examine this passage closely to see how Aldiss achieves this iconicity. Sparkily flinging up stones from the tired wheels the gravelcade towed darkness, Headlights beams of granite bars battering the eternal nowhere signposting the dark. The cuspidaughters of darkness somebody sang play toe with the spittoons of noon the cuspidaughters of darkness play toe with the spittoons of noon the cuspidaughters of darkness play toe with the spittoons of noon. Only some of the blind white eyes of joyride was yellow or others but altirely because the bashing the cars the jostling in the autocayed. And hob with the gobs of season. In these primitive jalopsides herding their way like shampeding cattletrap across the last ranges of Frankreich that square squeezing country sang the drivniks.
- 174 EXPLORATION: INVESTIGATING ENGLISH LANGUAGE Cluttering through stick-it-up-your-assberg its nasal neutral squares its window- bankage to where the Rhine oiled its gunmottal under the northstar-barrels and a wide bridge warned zoll. Break lights a flutter red I'd ride the rifled engines ricochetting off the tracered flow below. Cryogenetic winds bourning another spring croaking forth on the tundrugged land doing it all over and bloodcounts low at a small hour with the weep of dream- pressure in the cyclic redbirth-redeath calling for a fast doss all round or heads will roll beyond the tidal rave. RECHTS FAHREN big yellow arrows splitting the roadcrown. Writhing bellies upward large painted arrows letters meaningless distant burriers sedu- cing him to a sighfer in a diaphram. Clobwebbed Charteris stopped the Banshee. He and Angeline climb out and he wonders if he sees himself lie there annulled, looks up into the blind white cliffs of night cloud to smell the clap of spring break its alternature. About him grind all the autodisciples flipping from their pillions and all shout and yawn make jacketed ges- tures through their fogstacks. They all talk and Gloria comes over says to Angeline, 'Feels to me I have bound the hound across this country before'. (Brian Aldiss, Barefoot in the Head, 1969: 193) Stylisticians have particularly been interested – for obvious reasons – in linguistically deviant texts like this. Can you find any others to explore? In particular, look for experi- mental and avant-garde writing: how are the styles of such movements deployed in the service of their politics or ideological programmes? Activity 11.4 J Syntactic imagining There are apparently only two sentences in the following poem. How does the arrangement of syntax contribute to the sense of the text? When You are Old When you are old and grey and full of sleep And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face. And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead, And hid his face amid a crowd of stars. (W.B. Yeats, 1891) Find two passages from different novels which are markedly different syntactically (see, for example, the two passages from a science fiction novel and a modernist novel in C4). How is the syntactic form significant in each case?
- EXPLORING LITERATURE 175 Discourse (oh no it isn't) J Activity 11.5 The following is a sketch by Monty Python, first broadcast on the BBC on 2 November 1972. It clearly presents a surreal, absurd, or at least unusual dialogue. Can you identify what is strange about it, from the normative patterns of everyday conversation? Can you also identify what is conventional about it, in order to get a sense of how it balances oddity and normality for its humorous effects? The Argument Clinic [A man enters an office] Man: Good morning, I'd like to have an argument, please. Receptionist: Certainly, sir. Have you been here before? Man: No, this is my first time. Receptionist: I see, well we'll see who's free at the moment. Mr. Bakely's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory. No. Try Mr. Barnhart, room 12. Man: Thank you. [Enters room 12].

[Pause] Other Man: No it isn't! Man: Yes it is! [pause] Man: I came here for a good argument! Other Man: AH, no you didn't, you came here for an argument! Man: An argument isn't just contradiction. Other Man: Well! It CAN be! Man: No it can't! An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.

Man: Yes but it isn't just saying 'no it isn't'. Other Man: Yes it is! Man: No it isn't! Other Man: Yes it is! Man: No it isn't! Other Man: Yes it is! Man: No it ISN'T! Argument is an intellectual process. Contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says. Other Man: It is NOT! Man: It is! Other Man: Not at all! Man: It is!

Ahh, summer. Long days, lazy nights, the drone of a baseball game ... and a broken air conditioner.
A variation of Murphy's Law says: If something can go wrong, it will when you need it most.
This time the upstairs air conditioner went down just as the first two hot weeks of summer steamrolled in. During summer in Florida, air conditioning is not optional.
Because sleeping in our respective bedrooms upstairs would have turned us into bacon strips, my 17-year-old daughter and I moved into the downstairs guestroom. Fortunately, the downstairs air system works.
Adding to the ambience, my daughter sprouted a cold. For the past few nights, she has been hacking up her tonsils and building an Eiffel Tower out of used Kleenex next to the bed.
Now, in addition to sharing a double bed, we're sharing her cold.
"We're bonding," I say, as we prepare for another night of this.
She groans and hands me the Kleenex box.
"Just think," I say. "We're probably cutting our power bill in half!"
"I just want my own bed."
I text my landlord again: "I love my daughter, but I'm tired of sleeping with her."
Repairs on the house I live in need to go through layers of approvals and estimates, we're told.
Meanwhile, every morning I venture upstairs, where the temperature hovers in the mid-90s, to get ready for work. Hitting the middle stair feels like walking into a pizza oven. I take a cold shower and try to dress before sweat turns my skin into a Slip 'N Slide. I smear melted makeup on my sticky face while angling two fans on myself to keep my clothes from clinging like plastic wrap. My daughter calls me a hot mess.
"Why does the air conditioner stop working on the first hot day of summer?" I'm on the phone with David Fairbanks, co-owner of eReplacementparts.com, a Salt Lake City company that helps do-it-yourselfers fix appliances and lawn tools by providing parts and know-how.
"For the same reason the lawnmower croaks the first time you haul it out of hibernation to cut the grass in spring," he says.
"And the oven breaks on Thanksgiving!" I add.
"It's as if they've been waiting for their moment," said Fairbanks.
"It's not my imagination then?"
"No, air conditioners really do tend to blow on the first hot day," said Fairbanks, "often because they've been sitting all winter and in some cases weren't properly shut down.":
Here are ways he suggests we can keep air-conditioning energy and repair bills down without sweating:

I wish I could say I've not posted anything for a while because I've been burning litres of fuel in the RX-8, sadly however that's not the case, although I have done nearly 2,500miles in it and spent something silly like £600 in fuel, but I've not posted anything for a while because I've been up to my eyeballs in work.
Those of you that have spoken with me recently know that not only is The Site Doctor currently going through a few alterations, but we're also in the process of moving house, and in addition to this we've got a fair few projects going on -both paid and unpaid so watch this space for updates!
For those of you interested, I'm still working on the articles about SEO and eCommerce which I hope to get online soon as well as a few more updates re life the universe and just about everything else.
As for you Doug, thanks for your comments the other day, I'm working on it, but unlike you Yanks we don't all not work at work. Well, that is except for Craig...

Stella McCartney Just Wants to Have Fun
There's a sculpture garden on Elizabeth Street that New Yorkers pass every day, nearly an acre in size yet relatively sleepy compared with the bustling streets of its surrounding neighborhood. The doors are usually locked, but not last night. Stella McCartney brought the space to life with her annual garden party. In addition to models wearing her new Resort collection (more on that here), there were statue performers, a live band, and a food truck dispensing root beer floats, lavender margaritas, and Veuve Clicquot.
A range of McCartney's high-profile pals attended— Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amber Heard, Lorne Michaels, and Peter Beard included. "Stella just has the best taste," Liv Tyler said. "The good thing about these parties is that she lets me bring home some of the decor. I go home with piñatas, balloons, whatever…my son, Milo, loves it."
Models were scattered throughout the garden, some on a giant chessboard, others dancing and blowing bubbles. It was all in the spirit of McCartney's new collection. "Fashion is supposed to be about having a good time," the designer told Style.com. "So often fashion constrains women and makes them feel like rubbish. For me, the Stella woman is about celebration, feeling alive and free and colorful. I want the girls to have fun, the boys to have fun—in fact, I want to have fun. Don't you?"

future clients are from a different planet, science will conquer all i'm sure
Budweiser is being a little hokey this time around. oh well
I can't imagine what's not to like?
People in Japan must be certain that there are looking at the real America.
Old school also…America as soon through the prism of 1950′s cowboy TV show and movies.
Perhaps even all the way back to Will Rogers.
Be easy to caption this one.
These kids know nothing.

Editors' Note: The full-version software runs invisibly and automatically starts itself every time your computer is started.
Editors' reviewThe only advantages of this spyware utility are its simplicity and its small file size. Surprisingly for the 21st century, Keylogger Express has no options or settings. After installation, many users may get absolutely confused. There is no setup wizard, and the only mention of how to run the program may easily be skipped. Keylogger Express is not protected very well. You can't prevent users from stopping it with a password. The logs don't even contain dates and times, so how to identify what site a user logged in to? The utility is not convenient for monitoring your kids or employees. The only use we can think of is stealing passwords.
Publisher's Description
Keylogger Express is an easy-to-use utility that stealthily records every keystroke on your computer. It's a good tool for helping you monitor your computer activities when you're away from your computer.

Laura P. said:
Curtis is a husband and father and has recently begun having vivid nightmares and hallucinations. His visions and nightmares of storms have prompted him to build an elaborate underground shelter, an obsession that has led to him losing his job and alienating him from friends and family. The real question is, are the visions real? Good movie but a long way to go to get to what is finally a satisfying ending.

Bike-boom Peugeot
'UO8-Type' Frames, Decals & Badges
Representative 'UO8-type' bicycles showing the evolution of frames, decals and badges. These attributes would also
apply to AO8, UO18, UE8, and UE18 bicycles sold in the United States.
Early 1960s
These combinations of frame features occurred up until 1963, after which the more familiar checkerboard racing design
appeared on bicycles. According to the Classic Rendezvous' PX10 database, the checkerboard racing pattern was
first used by Team Peugeot in 1963, but may not have been available to the public until 1967. However, the 1964
French and 1965 Dutch catalogs clearly show the checkerboards on all the bicycle models.
This frame appears to match the AO8 pictured in the early 1960s USA Dealer's Brochure (this website) and the
PL8 in the Cycles Peugeot Velo Catalogue Pieces Detachees Et Accessories (below). Thanks to Richard Bryne for submitting
these photos. This frame sold for $255 on EBay on 25 December 2007.
According to its original owner, this bicycle is believed to be of ~1963 vintage. The serial
number etched into the bottom bracket shell is 115739. The UO8 described in the early 1960s USA Dealer's Brochure
lists burgundy as one of the available colors (this website). CyclArt refurbished this bicycle before
selling to a collector in Japan. Thanks to Greg for sharing these photos.
David Koski's 1962 Peugeot UO8 that came equipped with a Simplex JUY 61 Export rear derailleur. This frame is identical to CyclArt's 1963 UO8, but with a half-painted
1964 to 1970
This combination of frame features occurred up until 1970. Although the 1970 and 1971 Franklin Imports' (New
York, NY) brochures (that were dated based on component specifications) show this decal pattern, the same photos
were used for both publications while the text was updated from one to the other. In addition, similar photos appear
on the United Import Sales, Inc. (Gardena, CA) page of Mark Thiffault's Bicycle Digest published in March 1972.
I have yet to see a well-documented 1971 UO-8 with these decals.
1960s UO8 frame, serial number 562371.
Thanks to Brooks Van Holt for permission to post photos.
Late 1960s AO8 from Canada, serial number 059488. Thanks to Mark Kaczmarczyk for submitting these photos.
Late 1960s UO18 Mixte Frame. Thanks to MJ Kennedy for submitting these photos.
1971 to 1974
1972 AO8 from my collection.
Frames from 1975 had decals identical to the early 1970s. The only difference was that a plastic headbadge
replaced the foil decal on the headtube. Please note that higher end models, but not lower end models had this plastic
headbadge in 1974.
1976 to 1978
Note that although the frame decals and headtube badge were the same from 1976 to 1978, the shift levers migrated
from the downtube to the handlebar stem in 1977.
Peugeot UO8 with 1975 date codes on the hubs, front brake caliber and bottom bracket. Thanks to Vincent (aka, Bike
Forum's mojoride) for permission to post a photo of his bicycle.
1977 UO8, serial number Y705 30464. Thanks to Aaron Weiss for submitting these photos.
1979 to 1982
1979 AO8 Sport, serial number Y902

Python, which mostly comes from Southeast Asia is known for variations in color, scale sizes and supple feel. Anaconda, on the other hand -- which is native to South America -- has more regular-sized scales and a plastic-y texture. Either way, they both make fabulous handbags. Suck it, PETA.
Chloé silk blouse $1,475 and skirt $895 both available at Neiman Marcus. Valentino bag $3,845 available at Valentino 212.772.6969
"Survival of the fittest" means not letting your guard down -- in Venezuela back in 2001, a 29-year-old student zookeeper was strangled by a 10-foot python. He probably deserved it.
Prada Mary-Janes $990 available at the Prada Store
Dropping over $1K for a handbag is practically a sample sale price (according to our Resident Fashion Snob, Eric): more and more designers are forsaking alligator and crocodile skins in these harsh economic times, because they are so costly to catch, and thus much more expensive, you know...
Mulberry satchel $1,180 availalbe at the Mulberry Store
@BronxZooCobra, the famous New York City snake who escaped over the summer (and was safely returned to his tank in the reptile house), is still tweeting to his 226,814 followers. That said, @xojanedotcom has 4044 followers. Soo ... we'd really, really love it if you started following us.
Bottega Veneta clutchs $1,750 each, available at Bottega Veneta. Donna Karan Collection heels available at Donna Karan.
Did you know that all snakes are incapable of learning? This is because they lack the enlarged cerebral hemispheres found in birds and mammals, the part of the brain that controls learning and thought. Luckily, dumb is always chic for fall.
Valentino bag $3,845 available at Valentino 212.772.6969
Alice Cooper showed up at his induction ceremony to the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame wearing a blood-stained shirt and a yellow boa constrictor. You can just wear these fab Mary Janes...
Chloé skirt $895 available at Neiman Marcus. Prada Mary-Janes $990 available at the Prada Store
The general consensus on the internet is that you're supposed to feed your pet snake frozen mice and rats -- not live ones. So now you know.
Marc Jacobs bag $3,795 call 212.343.1490 for where to buy. J.Crew pumps $425 available at J. Crew. Chloé blouse $1,475 available at Neiman Marcus
Other celebrity fans of snake accessories include Slash, who used to shoplift them from pet stores by wrapping them around his wrists like bracelets. Smooth.
Michael Kors heels $1,670 and clutch $995 available at Michael Kors. Kara by Kara Ross - (from the top) wide cuff in teal $345 available at Kara Ross, mini metal cuff in malachite $175 available at Neiman Marcus, small cuff in multi color python and amethyst $315 available at Kara Ross, wide cuff in ring lizard and hermatite $320 Kara Ross.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) - - Wedding season is in full swing and lots of new couples are beginning their financial lives together with something other than marital bliss.
Taking on someone else's bad credit, debt, and differing money attitude can ruffle those newlywed feathers in a hurry. Rebecca Dolgin of thenest.com, a website for newlyweds says it's important to talk, before you make the walk down the aisle. "You're entering a partnership and you want each other to know everything there is to know about that partnership," said Dolgin.
The first step towards financial bliss is simple. Avoid too much wedding debt. "The average wedding is about $28,000 to $29,000, and that's a big debt to be carrying at the very beginning and, a lot of times, at the very beginning of your careers," said Dolgin. You should also know your spouse's spending style.
Put numbers on the table, everything from credit card debt to student loans, no matter how ugly. Decide whether you'll completely marry all accounts, or keep some separate. "Even if you're not combining your accounts, if one of you is spending a lot more than the other one is spending, it will be a problem because it affects the other person," explained Dolgin.
A good money project for new couples is joint money management. A financial goal to work on together, like saving for a house, a car, or a first anniversary vacation could teach you a great deal about your new spouse.
If you have a consumer problem you'd like us to look into send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
