If you would like to send us any testimonials please drop us an email.
Truly great job with my suit, when i walked in i knew that was the one (give yourself a pat on the back, great design) thank you for all the alterations you done for each fitting and the excellent customer service you and the rest of the team provided, down to the little touches in the Randolph.
Nick and I would like to thank you and Aaron for all you help with Nick's wedding suit. Nick received many compliments. One guest even commented that he was the most stylish groom she had ever seen- her husband was standing next to her at the time!Zara & Nick, Birmingham
I wanted to write you all in thanks for all your help with my wedding suit. Looking back, the quality of service you provided was exceptional, one of the best experiences we had in arranging our big day. The suit fits so well and looks amazing. Its everything I could have hoped for for such a special occasion. I'm very much obliged."Matt, Oxford
Guys thank you SO much for all your help. The service you provided was exemplary from the first moment we walked in the door. From the moment he first put the suit on, I knew by his face that he had found something he felt really special in-and I wanted the groom, not just the bride to have that experience! Your efforts to make it work for us were so much appreciated-As was your flair and style in suggesting how to accessorize.Fiona, Oxford
I've used Clements & Church and Matt Roden in particular, to provide me with a range of suits, shirts and accessories, for many years now. Every time I have found the clothing to be of the highest quality with Matt tailoring each item perfectly to meet my specific need. Additionally, the service provided by Matt is absolutely first class and he is always willing to go that extra mile, often at very short notice, to make sure I have the clothing I need, exactly when I need it and fitted to my precise requirement.Jeremy, Birmingham
Mark Twain said 'Clothes make the man' and surely he must have had Clements & Church in mind. Virtual shopping will never completely replace the High St because going to C&C is an experience. Expert information and knowledge, friendly advice, elegant surroundings – a sojourn into this tailoring world is a tonic. Impressive range and quality of cloth, the finest attention to detail, understated and elegant design – what more could one ask? The product – suits fit like a glove because these guys know what they are doing. C&C signatures – their shirt and tie combinations, velvet collars and trims, you must have one of their bellied lapel jackets. So often in tailoring design is not matched by delivery but C&C have got it spot on.John, Coventry
A big thank you to Ty at Clements and Church Solihull who's attention to detail and professionalism ensured that my wedding suit was exactly what I had envisaged and wanted. He helped me get the look for the big day and cannot fault the level of service I received. C&C is definitely worth a visit.Richard, Wythall
I've got to send you a quick email mate before I fly today. The wedding was unreal, absolute success with the weather and everything else that happened. But from a personal point of view I've got to thanks you and Rich for making the suit, I honestly felt like a rockstar and I'm sure it's because of the suit. As you know how you dress dictates how your perceived by others and the suit made a huge impression on everyone. I'll be in for another when I get back.Iain, Oxford
Wanted to say thank you for the time and effort you guys have put in during my fittings and suit selections. Special thanks to you Mal! You have been a great help and your attention to detail is amazing. My engagement and wedding day suits were perfect.Mr Virdee, Solihull
Clements & Church did a wonderful job tailoring a pair of trousers for me.They sourced a cloth that matched an existing jacket; the fitting and design was just right; and the final result is superb. A great product and fantastic service.Howard, Oxford
Just wanted to drop you a short note to thank both you and Ty with your guidance and expertise in putting together the perfect outfit for me. As expected I had a fantastic response and and plenty of compliments on both the unusual design and the unique fabric.
As I get older and more demanding I don't want to just to buy good products I want to enjoy an outstanding 'customer experience'. Since I first met Aaron and Ryan at the Leamington store two and a half years ago I have enjoyed just that sort of outstanding experience and been 'looked after' wonderfully. They make me and my wife Karen really welcome, they know precisely what I like and make great suggestions for new ideas on suit, shirt and tie combinations which work really well. Whenever I wear one of my new suits at work I never fail to get a 'nice suit' comment and a 'where do you go' question. I am always pleased respond with a recommendation for Clements and Church.Andrew, Leamington Spa
I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you and all the staff for your help and patience when I wanted some new outfits for my cruise and various other events. I found both the service and quality of outfits to be outstanding, I will see you again soon for my next shop.Andrew, Solihull
Great meeting you two today. I was very impressed and inspired by what you two have built; I had trouble finding anything I didn't want to buy. Especially love the attention to detail.Kevin, Oxford
I wanted to thank you personally for the excellent service that I received from you and your team at Clements and Church, Solihull. Following my road traffic accident in 1999 finding clothes that fit and look smart has been a nightmare, so when my daughter announced that she was getting married the idea of wearing a suit seemed impossible. From the first time that my wife and I entered your store until the day that I took delivery of my suit, the care, service and attention to detail that I received was second to none. I opted for the bespoke service and nothing was too much trouble for your team including home visits from both you and your tailor. My wife, daughter and I were absolutely thrilled with the end result which made me feel smart as well as proud on the wedding day.Paul, Solihull

Theme park cast member stories: A white-knuckle ride on Disney's Body Wars
Written by Robert Niles
One of the great perks of working in a theme park is the opportunity to be among the first to ride its new attractions. I took advantage the few times I had that opportunity, starting with the opening of Body Wars in the old Wonders of Life pavilion at Epcot in 1989.Tweet
With so many simulator rides now in theme parks, museums and even shopping malls, it might be hard for some to remember what a big deal they were back in the 1980s. Star Tours debuted at Disneyland in 1987, and it was such an immediate hit that the park stayed open for 60 hours straight to move through the crowds.
The simulator was the most revolutionary new ride experience for theme parks since the introduction of roller coaster inversions in the 1970s. Body Wars was to be the Orlando area's first simulator ride. (The east coast version of Star Tours would not open at the then-Disney-MGM Studios for another few months.) So of course I switched a shift in order to be at Epcot the first afternoon the ride was open to cast member previews.
To my delight, I found that Body Wars was, thematically, a souped-up version of my beloved "Adventures Through Inner Space," the long-closed attraction that was my one "must ride" whenever I visited Disneyland as a child. We'd be shrunk down to the size of a blood cell, zipping through the circulation system on our way to save a patient.
So I walked into the simulator, took the seat in the far back corner, and buckled in.
Way cool.
The cabin lights dimmed, and the theater itself began to buck forward.
Inexplicably way cool.
And, then, as the theater whipped to the side and we began our chase, my seatbelt unfastened.
Not cool.
At that moment, I first understood the origin of the phrase "white knuckle ride." The blood drained from my fingers as I pressed my hands into the armrests, trying to get enough leverage to push my back into the seat as the Body Wars theater treated me like a wet pair of jeans in a dryer spin cycle.
I tried to refasten the belt, but though better when the ride whipped to the side as I began take my hand off the armrest. Nope, I'd have to hold on for this flight.
And, remember, I'd never been on a simulator ride before. Today, if the same thing were to happen, I'd know how the ride would behave and better be able to react. But then, I had no clue.
Pitch. Yaw. Roll.
Clutch. Press. Pray.
Later, once I was safely off the ride and the nausea finally had gone away, I learned that the back corner seats typically get the widest range of motion on simulator rides. (If you're a newbie and want to take it easy, try to get a seat in the middle of the theater. And, oh yeah, they fixed the thing with the seatbelts.) A maintenance tech also later told me that Body Wars ran on its highest motion levels those first couple days of cast member testing, and that Disney dialed down the range of motion substantially before the ride opened to the public.
I don't know if he was feeding me a line. But I do know that I've never has as much of a thrill on a simulator attraction as I did on that very first ride, on Body Wars.

Yikes!! Doesn't sound too fun for me!
From Robert Niles on November 9, 2009 at 1:07 PM
"Thrill" is not necessarily a good thing.... ;-)
From Steve Smegner on November 9, 2009 at 3:12 PM
I would have assumed the safety system would have detected a seat belt not closed and stopped the ride. I know they check the panel of green lights before they start the ride so the ride is at least aware of the seat belt status.
From M. Ryan Traylor on November 9, 2009 at 3:45 PM
60 hrs!?!?!?! I want to be the last guy in that line!
Back in the mid 90's I was at DisneyWorld with family and friends. We went on Body Wars much to the pleasure of my mother who enjoyed the fantasic voyage and works in a hospital lab. It was that attraction that she discovered motion sickness.
The worst part was four hours later when we tried to get some ice cream her travel tourist wallet with the 7 7 day park hopping ticked and about 300 cash was missing from her bag. Back tracking through four hours of attractions is not my idea of a goodtime. Finally we get back to body wars and cast member informs that she did fnd the item with it's contents and sent it to lost and found.
The items were retrieved and we each got an extra scoop in celebration.
From Robert Niles on November 9, 2009 at 4:28 PM
Steve, you are correct about SOP [standard operating procedure] for simulator rides. However, I suspect that, uh, a few things were still being worked out and debugged in those early runs.
Hey, that's what cast tests are for....
From Steve Alcorn on November 9, 2009 at 4:36 PM
These days the seat belt sensors would definitely be tied into the control system, but in those days it was a manual system, checked before departure, and the belt sensor was able to make contact a tiny bit before actually latching.
You're correct, the motion was dialed back after a short period because it was making nearly everyone sick. Unlike Star Tours, there weren't a lot of good visual references, and the motion was quite rhythmic. The result was almost guaranteed to create nausea.

I volunteered for Cast Member "Test and Adjust" for Toy Story Midway Mania when I was a CM at Disneyland Resort. Luckily nothing went wrong with that. It operated perfectly on the few runs I took through it. I can't say the same for my arm. Pulling those "spring action shooters" for round after round after round non-stop gets a bit tiring after a while.
I was also to be on a Cast Member tour of the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage show building "caverns" when our tour was canceled because they needed to get a sub out of dry-dock and had to lift the internal catwalks. Turns out even with the catwalks lifted an unloaded sub sat just a bit too high to comfortably navigate the caverns. Our CM "tour" group was quickly converted to "ballast". I did get a backwards ride in the sub with all the maintenance lights on. That was cool.

Body Wars is bad enough without having to worry for your life. One ride was more than enough for me.

C2S, notice I have not gotten all cranky and indignant about the names that you called me- "smug megaposter," "mindless interent denizen." Careful with that name calling stuff- it makes you look a lot like me.
Did not refer to you
I apologized for an offensive word I used, a word that in the future, will be replaced with the word "idiotfest
I agree..thank you
I started this thread to try and make some (including me) look at how the posts and words we use affect others who come to this site. If it detracts and we want to encourage others to join and participate then we should moderate how we say things to each other. Simple concept
If I am violating this...send me a pm, I will change. The object here is to ENCOURAGE participation not discourage it.

Clearspring's Audience Platform Connects Businesses With Their Targeted Audience
Sometimes the hardest part about running any type of campaign is connecting with your targeted audience. If your company does not reach out to your targeted audience, then there is no point to your campaign. Clearspring Technologies tools are well known for connecting publishers, services, and advertisers to their targeted audiences on the social web. Their AddThis platform allows leading publishers to track digital content on the web including widgets, web pages, videos to blogs, social networks, and many more. Seamlessly integrated into Clearspring's platform are over 300 other services that can help you to reach out to your audience.
Many advertisers have found Clearspring's platform to be very useful when they are trying to connect with their audiences. Using this platform Clearspring accumulates information from over 200MM unique US users monthly. By using parts of their dynamic technology they then categorize that information into two different compartments, influence and intent-based audience. Advertisers then gain their targeted audience's attention from hundreds of these compartments being combined together.
The influence based segments are people that you reach out to who share information on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites. Reaching out to these type of people can easily give advertisers a 'jump-start' on their campaigns because there will be more people sharing news about it. By using this influenced based platform you will easily get the word out about your campaign more quickly. Social networkers sharing information about your campaign, on average influence another four of their friends or followers. Many of the companies who have used this segment for their campaigns have noticed a twenty to fifty percent upgrade in sharing information.
The intent-based segments are targeted toward the people who are looking for you and your services. With this segment you are able to reach users in all four categories of the purchasing process: awareness, interest, consideration and in-market. Reaching out to this type of audience you already know that they are interested in your product/service. Now all you need to do is blow them away with your campaign to gain them as a customer. Also, if these people have already been trying to find you, it is likely they will share with others how you reached out to them. Companies who have used this method to gain audience attention have seen a jump of a 2X-10X lift in their campaign. Putting these two segments together allows you to reach your audience in a simpler, quicker way, and also creates a viral campaign for your company. As the two different segments work together, you are sure to get the biggest response from your audience.
The tools given to you by Clearspring help to generate even more traffic to your website because of the fact you are reaching out to so many people. The hardest part can be reaching out to the people who influence others, and with the help from Clearspring's platform that can no longer be an issue. You will be able to reach out to the audience you need, at the exact time you need them.Read More
Google+ VS. Facebook-Which One Will Come Out on Top?
The on going battle between the two social networks Google+ and Facebook heated up last Tuesday when Google+ became public to the people. During the time Google+ was announcing new changes they have made to their network, along with going public, Facebook was undergoing changes of their own. Back to back announcements were being made between the two rivals all day Tuesday.
Many Facebook users are upset with the changes Facebook has been making. Recently Facebook has made changes to their news feed highlighting posts that are more important than others. Users have not been responding to this new feature in a good way and have even made suggestions to make Facebook the way it used to be before all of the new features.
"This morning I spent several minutes unmarking stories as "Top Stories" just so I get my news feed back into some sort of chronological order," a comment from a Facebook user.
As Facebook is getting negative responses to their changes, Google+ is being applauded for the many new features they have come out with. They have updated their Hangout feature to where it can now be used for broadcasting on any smart phone with a camera. This feature allows nine users to connect and video chat together all at once. Later they announced that this feature will soon be available for all Apple users. The makers of Google+ believe that Hangouts should keep pace with how people socialize in the real world, so launching this feature on mobile devices allows people to always have it with them.
The competition between these two networks has started to become so out of control, that it is like Facebook is scrambling to stay ahead in the game. When changes are made to Facebook there are no announcements about it, or messages to let users know about the new features. Users feel like Facebook just keeps digging a deeper hole in each attempt they make to stay the world's #1 most used social network service. People like the way Facebook use to be, it was simple, easy, and enjoyable to chat with friends. Now there are so many changes, each time someone logs into their account it looks completely different and is continuously becoming harder to understand.
When Google+ was just starting out and could only be accessed by an invitation only, Swedish technology entrepreneur Anton Perlkvist wrote that "Google+ is like a house party without alcohol where everybody is just standing around waiting." Now that things are starting to happen, Google+ has improved dramatically. The makers of Google+ were waiting for the perfect time to launch their network to the public. It was important to them to make sure everything was perfect and ready to go before letting too many people join. One advantage they have over Facebook is that Google+ encourages their users to gain more followers.
There are still some people out in the world that are not too sure about either of these two social networks. A comment from a user noted that the two networks are so concerned about upgrading and adding features that they are not taking the time to worry about user privacy. This being the real issue when using any social network. More and more these days user's information is being sold to companies for either good or bad reasons. As this issue is brought up to Facebook or Google+ it very well could take a toll on either network. Users provide their information to share with friends and family, not for it to be distributed throughout various different companies. If this becomes a major issue for users, then both Facebook and Google+ are going to have to work harder in this area.
Google+ is starting to rise to the top with all of their efforts to become one of the best social networks. During one of their announcements they did not give out the number of users they have so far, but analysis say there are over 25 million users on Google+, and this was before they went public on Tuesday. They still have a ways to go before catching up with Facebook's count of 750 million users, but with all the changes that have been occurring, this may be sooner than we all think. Will Facebook fans stay true, or will they all wonder away to what is becoming known as "a worldwide…interesting party?"- Anton Perlkvist.Read More
Facebook's New Timeline Feature
Last week during Facebook's annual f8 conference, Mark Zuckerberg CEO of Facebook announced many new features including one to be very popular, a new Timeline page. This new Timeline feature combines all of your past stories, posts, and pictures in one place to tell your story on Facebook. As of right now, your Timeline page can only be seen by only you. Get started now and you can go through the past to star, hide, or add whatever you want to. Once you are finished with that you can hit the publish button for all your friends to view it now, or wait until your timeline goes live Thursday September 29th, 2011.
"Going back in time and seeing the past several years of my life displayed in this way is nothing short of profound. Facebook has used software to make something meaningful. Something emotionally powerful."- Blogger MG Siegler.
During the f8 conference Mark started talking about Facebook profile pages and how it is the most important part of a user's Facebook page. He mentioned that one of the biggest problems with the layout of profiles is as people share more and more information, all of their old information gets pushed down to the bottom. Soon disappearing completely and becoming forgotten. With Timeline, all of your most important stories are shown on one page, giving you the opportunity to look back at what you shared in the past. Also, all of your history of activity from Timeline can be viewed from mobile devices. Timeline also allows users to choose certain views that they want to be shared, this way not all previous content that you find unimportant will be shown.
The new Timeline feature will be put up as your new profile page. Mark Zuckerberg envisioned this feature as a story of each Facebook member's life, laid out in a way to show mostly pictures. It is the new way for users to show who they really are. For the cover of a user's Timeline page, they are able to choose a 'cover photo'. This photo acts as a magazine cover shot which users can change as often as they like.
Included in user's new timeline, are new apps for members to enjoy. One of these is the Spotify app. This new app allows members to stream music and then post about it to let their friends know what they are doing. One of the best parts about sharing this information is that you do not actually have to hit a 'share' button in-order to show your friends. Facebook came out with a new Open Graph feature where what you are doing is automatically being shared with friends, so you do not have to remember to always hit the 'share' button. For example with Spotify, when listening to your favorite music, all you have to do is hit 'play', then that information of what you are listening to goes straight to your Facebook wall sharing it with friends.
Lately many users have been talking about the battle between Google+ and Facebook. Many people believe Facebook is trying too hard to compete with Google+ in order to stay as the top social network in the world. Others believe that Facebook knows exactly what they are doing, that their goal is to just create a great network for people.Read More
Social Media Marketing Made Easier With the Use of Twitter
Millions of people use Twitter on a day to day basis. It has come to be one of the most used ways today that people communicate to one another. Also know as microblogging, companies use twitter as a way to get messages out to their targeted audiences in 140 characters or less. Using Twitter as part of their marketing efforts is an easy, quick way for companies today to advertise their products for no money at all.
The goal of using Twitter for companies is to get messages out to you audience while also building relationships with those people. Because of the character limit on your tweets you are able to tweet messages many times in one day with out overloading your followers with too much information all at once. Twitter also allows you to target your audience by using hashtags(#) and typing in keywords. That way when a customers is looking for posts on social media, they can type in #socialmedia and if that hashtag is included in your post, it will show up for them to find.
If people like the information you provide then they have the option to follow you. Once someone is following you, each time you post something new, it will show up in their news feed. Also if there is a tweet that gives important information, you can retweet it so more people will be able to see it. The average Twitter user has 126 followers, so each time your message is retweeted, 126 more people on average will see the message each time it is retweeted. Twitter is an excellent tool that will help to get word out about any new company information.
Above your Twitter timeline, which is the news feed of posts from the people you follow, you will also have an @Mentions link which will show you the post that include your company Twitter name. This allows you to always see what it is people are saying about your company whether it is good or bad. Many companies have used Twitter as their source of customer service. It allows customers to tell the company what problems they are having, and since Twitter messages are received in real-time, the company can instantly talk with that person to help them fix their problem.
Tweeting messages can be accessed through the Twitter website using any mobile device or just a regular computer. Only 20% of traffic comes straight through the Twitter website. The other 80% of traffic generally comes from third party programs from users using smartphones or other mobile devices. Today there are over 200 million Twitter accounts and just recently CEO Dick Costolo revealed that over 100 million of those accounts are active on a daily basis. Half of those active Twitter accounts log in daily and the other 40% have not tweeted for about one month. The team of Twitter defines active users as people who log in at least once a month.
When you use Twitter to run a campaign, or to promote your business it is important to remember to daily tweet at least 2 or three messages. Your efforts may not be instant, but the more you work on it the more people will start to follow you. Then once you have a good set of followers, more people will receive your messages allowing many of your tweets to go viral.Read More
Foursquare-A Location Based Social Network
Foursquare is new type of social network that allows users to find where their friends like to hang out at. This location based network is accessed through any mobile device with a GPS system and is a fun way to share tips with friends about what to do at places you have visited. Using your phone you can 'check-in' at the various places you visit and Foursquare rewards you with badges, mayorships and points.
Foursquare is a fun way to chat and interact with friends. It is easily accessed by downloading a Foursquare app to you mobile device, or creating an account through Foursquare's website. In order to eligible for mayorships, it is required to upload a profile picture for your account. When you are rewarded a mayorships, that means that you have checked into a certain place more than any of your friends have in the past 60 days. By becoming the mayor of a business you will be recognized by others on that business's Foursquare profile page. There are some businesses, like Starbucks, that reward their mayors with discounts or freebies. Companies also use Foursquare as a digital loyalty card to track users who visit their stores. Even if you are not the mayor, if you have visited the store ten times, then some companies with offer you discounts for being a regular, loyal customer.
To check into a place you simply just open the mobile app from your phone and Foursquare will use the GPS to show you stores near your location that you can check-in to. If the place that you are looking for is not on the list of stores, you can easily add it to the list directly from your phone. While using Foursquare you can also link it to your Facebook and Twitter to easily find friends to connect with. Once you have checked into a place, you have the option of sharing your location with your Foursquare friends and also include it on your Facebook and Twitter profiles. Whenever you check- in to a place and do not want to share it with friends, Foursquare will show your location as "off the grid" so that friends will not know your exact location.
What has said to be one of Foursquare's best features is users ability to leave tips on a store's venue. People can leave tips for restaurants about the best dish to order, or what is something that people should not order. People also leave tips about things to do at a certain place, or how they can get discounts, and even where clean bathrooms are. Users have the ability to give whatever advice they want about the place they are checked in to. Once someone checks into a place, a pop-up will appear with a past tip from another person who had recently visited the same place you are at. When you leave a tip for others to read, it can be done directly from you phone. If you receive a tip, you have the option to save it, or close out of it. Also if you decide to try the advice that others are giving, you can click a button that says "I have already done this" or you can add a tip to your to do list that will show up the next time you visit that place.
The points that are given to you each time you check into a place are a fun way to compare yourself to the other 1.5 million Foursquare users to see where you stand against them. The more times you check-in to one place, the more points you will be awarded for being there. These points do not stand for anything other than having fun and seeing other Foursquare user's information. Badges are rewards that are earned when checking in to a place multiple times, or certain places that are sponsored by a company. For example, if you follow the History Channel on your phone and check-in to three of their recommended places, you will receive the Historian badge, or if you check-in to twenty five different stores, you will receive the explorer badge. Like the points, the badges are just a fun way to interact with friends and show off how many badges you have obtained.

Google+- Thriving to be the Best Social Network
Google is a well known search engine tool to millions of people on the web. In an effort to form a social network, Google formed Google+. Google+ is basically a set of services that people already use, but their idea is to make them better.
Google+ Features
Google Circles- groups of people that can be put into categories like friends, family, company, ect. With each group you are able to drag and drop contacts into the circles. This allows you to share the information you want each group to know. Before starting this project Google wanted to find out the common denominator of what it is that people do. What they found out is people selectively choose what they want to say to people. This is where the Google Circles come in. If there is something that you would like all your friends to know and not anyone from your company, or even your parents then you can focus on the conversation in your friends circle.
Sparks- help you find interesting information based on your interests. Sparks automatically provide you with articles, links, videos, and photos of your related interests. These were created as a way to share like interests with your online friends. In over 40 languages Google provides users with content that are based on what they are interested in. They are used as a way to spark conversations with friends who have the same interests. Google makes it easy to find articles of interest by sending them automatically to the user, instead of the user having to research around to find what they like. Users are able to share these sparks with anyone of their circles.
Hangouts-Virtual rooms that allow you to video chat with people in your Google Circles. Video chat is popular with people all around the world. It s an easy way to communicate with someone with out having to go over to their place to talk to them. Google+ created hangouts so people can do just that. The best part is they can talk to multiple people all at once making it a hangout for all of their friends.
Huddles- An app that allows you to message everyone in a circle. People these days are always so busy that it can be hard to make time for friends or family. That is also why Google+ huddles were formed. In huddles people can have group conversations with everyone in their circle to let them know what is going on right that minute. Now available as an app on Android phones, you can stay in touch with your circle at all times.
Instant Upload- Once you take a snap shot on your Android phone, that picture is automatically uploaded to your Google+ profile. Almost everyone in the world has their phones with them, it is an easy way to stay connected with friends. With Google+ instant uploading you are able to add the location of your pictures then it is automatically uploaded to your profile. Adding the location shows friends where you are at so that they can come join you if wanted. This feature was added because Google understands how annoying it can be to have to download all your pictures at once onto your computer. By having it instantly loaded makes this hassle go away. Although before the picture is uploaded, Google+ asks for permission to upload the picture.
Google+ has partnered with Android and now you can have it with you all the time by downloading the app from your Android phone. Like on Twitter, it provides you with updates from all of your friends. As of right now Google+ can only be accessed by asking for an invitation. Once you get an invite then all of the features will be available to you. To access your account, you will see on top of the Google page a +You. That is where you click to start chatting with friends and family. Google+ is still under maintenance and may have a few kinks in it, but that is why they need you. Google wants to get this project perfect and will work hard to make it the best social network out there.Read More

Washington Nationals
I am in DC for the weekend visiting Peter. Last night we went to dinner to celebrate his new job and this afternoon we headed down to Nats Park. There was about an hour rain delay, but we walked up to the ticked office and got two $5.00 seats. We asked to be under the overhang in case the rain came back, and were totally excited when we saw our seats.
The end seats of the last row of section 401. I don't think you could get farther from home plate anywhere in the park. We like to be up high at games because it gives a great feel for the whole park.
In these particular seats, one has a great view of the Capitol dome. And all this for $5.00. Amazing
The Nats beat the Giants 6-2. Jordan Zimmerman pitched a great game and the Nats are really on a roll. It seemed like old times when someone yelled "Hugo Chavez" when Wilson Ramos came up to bat.
Here are Ray Knight and Johnny Holliday about to start the post-game show.
TEDx Martha's Vineyard
I'm back from the TEDx event at the Vineyard. It was an intense couple of days and was really interesting. Aside from my usual anxiety about presenting the project to people, my biggest concern was how to get 10 20 x 24 inch framed prints from my house to the venue. It all worked out, but it was a bit nerve wracking.
I was really happy that I was only showing prints, and not doing a formal presentation. I travel around and talk about the suitcases quite a lot, but mostly in give and take type of situations. The idea of standing up and delivering a 15 minute presentation still seems a bit intimidating. It was really helpful though to watch how others talk about their work in this type of format, and I learned a ton about how I want to refine my presentations.
Here's Jon Ronson giving his talk. I had read "The Psychopath Test" and seen "The Men Who Stare at Goats" and was happy to get the chance to hang out with him. So many creative and stimulating people were a part of the event, and the organizers did a great job setting up time for the participants to relax and talk about our work. It was an honor to be asked to a part of it and I am really grateful to all involved, especially Katy Decker who is an amazing bundle of energy and sweetness. It was also fantastic that my dear friend Sue Jackson, her husband Rick, and their friend Joanie made the trip over from the Cape. It meant so much to me to have familiar faces there.
The Vineyard is a really lovely place and as I hadn't been there in years, it was great to be back.
It was only slightly weird that since the President was in residence for his vacation, the Coast Guard was out in force. I would guess it was just for training purposes, but there were three chase boats that shadowed us back to Wood's Hole and it felt a bit strange to see a manned 50 caliber machine gun so near to the ferry.
I am hoping to post more here over the next week. Thanks, as usual, for following.
Hi Everyone. Sorry I've been inactive here lately. There is a lot going on and the old karma congestion has set in. Tomorrow I am off to the TEDx event on the Vineyard, which has been consuming quite a bit of my energy. I won't be speaking (which I am relieved about), but will be taking 10 framed prints to be exhibited at the venue. I'll post from there.
And this little one has been keeping us busy. Please welcome Olive; you will see more of her from time to time.
We have a bunch of different hydrangea(s?) growing around the house. I especially like the color of these ones.
I keep meaning to post a bunch of photographs covering what's been going on in the past few weeks, but I don't seem to get around to it. I have been trying to put up at least one new case on the Willard site each day for the past week. Check out Pearl B's case, which I uploaded this evening.
Thanks for following, everyone. Wishing you all a great week.
Willard Suitcases / John H / News
Peggy and I are were back shooting last week, and found John H's case to be really interesting. More cutlery and lots of tools and knives.
I wanted to mention that I have been asked to participate in a TEDx event on Martha's Vineyard on the 19th of August. Details here. I am very excited about this as I will be showing prints and getting the chance to meet some very interesting people. If any of you are able to make it, I'd be happy to see you.
Also, there is some interesting action going on in regards to the cemetery which I posted about before. Here is a link to an online petition that is trying to memorialize Lawrence Mocha.
I was addressing Kickstarter reward envelopes at Amherst Coffee this afternoon. When I came out to ride home, some sweet soul had put these flowers on the Vespa. They are now in a vase next to me as I write this.
It has been a hectic few weeks and I haven't posted much. I'll try to get something up in the next day or two.
Block Island Southeast Light
I took a long bike ride around the island this morning with the intention of stopping at the Southeast lighthouse.
It is now owned by a private foundation, and they offer brief tours for $10.00.
A very nice young woman by the name of Winter showed me around.
The building was built in the 1870s and shows signs of wear, but it is still a functioning lighthouse.
The lens is amazing and beautiful.
There are two bulbs; Winter thought the one on the left was a backup. It cycles on and off every 3.7 seconds. It is interesting how such a small bulb can produce so much illumination.
The hexagonal shapes in the floor are small glass skylights.
I usually photograph Nineteenth Century buildings that are not in use and are abandoned. It is lovely to be in one that is still used for its original purpose.
Block Island
We took the ferry to Block Island today. This evening we walked down to Mansion Beach. Cris has a knack for finding the most amazing things on beaches. She found an iPhone once in South Carolina.
Tonight she found this.
And then she found the box it came in.
It appears to be some kine of weather device that was attached to a balloon.
Here's the code number.
It's in the back of the car now.
Here's a sand castle about to disappear.
That Thing Again (with Manner)
So odd. I picked up four of these Manner wafers in the grocery store, put them in the cart and this one fell out of the kiddie seat onto the floor. I had left my camera in the car so I shot this with my phone. Two days in a row; something in the air.
That Thing Again (with phone)
It happened again. I left DC this morning at 6.00 and when I got home this afternoon I texted Peter to tell him that I had made it safely. He replied, I tossed the phone onto the ottoman and it stood on end. I left it this way for about an hour.
And a note about the Lavender ice cream. Lisa, you really should try it. Very subtle; mostly just sweet cream with just a hint of the lavender. I am still thinking about it.

North Wales Police at Llanrwst are warning
motorists using the A470 road at Maenan in the Conwy Valley to be
on their guard following some recent incidents where some large
rocks have been found in the middle of the carriageway.
Between Wednesday 9th January and this
morning, Sunday 13th January North Wales Police have received four
calls from members of the public concerning rocks in the
road. On two further occasions the Highways Department have
removed two other rocks from the road and local Police now believe
they were placed there deliberately.
Police Sergeant Aled Eynon at Llanrwst Police
Station said "Some of the rocks removed have been the size of a
small football and on one occasion forced a motorist to brake
sharply resulting in slight damage to his own car.
Fortunately nothing was coming the other way but if this type of
mindless behaviour continues it will be just a matter of time until
someone is injured or even worse. The consequences of this
criminality could have been fatal.
PS Eynon concluded "We have spoken with the
Highways Department who are placing their own warning signs on the
road and I would reinforce that warning.
"I would also appeal to the individuals
involved to think hard about their actions and the possible
consequences and to bring this to an end today. If any member
of the public knows who is responsible, or has any information
which may assist I'd ask they contact Police as soon as
"I am particularly keen to hear from anyone
who knows of a man seen in the area at the relevant times wearing
an orange fluorescent jacket who may well be the offender or a
witness who can assist this investigation"
Anyone with information is asked to contact North Wales Police
on 101 or alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800
555 111 and quote RM13001114.

Why Men and Women Can't Be Friends:
Answering the age old question, young independent filmmakers Jesse Budd and Patrick Romero set out to simply prove a point.
Never. Can never be friends. Not platonic. One always wants to sleep with the other. Or both want to sleep together and are lying to one another. It's stupid.
This is so true.

Roy Burns, "Sing, Sing, Sing" and the New Vintage drumheads
"I grew up playing calfskin drumheads, from a young kid studying the drums to landing the drum chair with Benny Goodman in my early 20′s. Every night we would play "Sing, Sing, Sing", the song that made Gene Krupa famous. That calfskin sound was soaked into me because the song featured the tom toms all the way through and I played it every night for 3 years. I remember thinking we will never be able to reproduce this sound with plastic heads. I am proud to say that Aquarian Drumheads has achieved the impossible! Our new Modern Vintage II and Deep Vintage II drumheads sound as good as the calf heads I played on "Sing, Sing", Sing" in 1958 with Benny Goodman."

- Added
- Removed
- Modified
v63 v64 45 45 46 46 Possible mentors: Blaž 47 48 === A social platform for Orange === 49 50 Orange's visual programming environment can incorporate any of its over a 100 widgets into schemas that do clustering, classification, visualization-based analysis, PCA, and many others. A repository of typical schemas would be most welcome: the novice users could choose from the already defined schemas and analyze their own data with them, the intermediate users could use the library to improve/augment their own schemas, and experienced users would be able to store their inventions into a repository for others to use. Orange could also train a widget recommendation system from the schemas in the repository. The repository could feature tagging, liking, commenting, and everything that a social platform can provide. Schemas in the repository could be described in text or video. 51 52 We would also like to provide users a way to upload their datasets and scripts/code-snippets. The later in a similar way as [https://gist.github.com/ Gist], but probably based on Mercurial (or not). 53 54 Users could follow each other and their contributions (similar to [http://www.projectnoah.org/ Project Noah]), use OpenID to login, have their profiles and so on. 55 56 In summary, the project would develop a new social platform for data mining solutions, possibly relying on existing solution (e.g. [http://www.myexperiment.org/ myExperiment]) or crafting something new (and simpler?). The repository would feature web access, but schemas from it should also be available in Orange (browsing, uploading and downloading). Seamless integration of repository and Orange is crucial to the success of this project (the Orange part of this integration will be done by someone from the laboratory, student will just have to define a simple HTTP-based API/protocol for it and implement it on server side). 57 58 Useful skills: Knowledge on how to develop a social platform (possibly Django). Python programming. Some knowledge of data mining/machine learning would help as well. 59 60 Level from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional): 4.5 61 62 Possible mentors: Blaž, Mitar 63 47 64 48 === Repository for add-ons ===

Digging: Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
Album Rating: 4.5Yet another masterpiece from Kamelot
Album Rating: 5.0I think it should be considered as a plain fact that Allmusic don't know anything about music at all.
Anyway, everything about this album is just beautiful and catchy, without being too cheesy or plain to enjoy it. Truly a masterpiece.
Album Rating: 5.0Well, Allmusic does get a lot of things right actually, but in some cases, they act like complete idiots.
Album Rating: 5.0Yea, another killer album. I'm just bumping the crap out of Kamelot today.

So, how much snow did we get across the state from last night and early this morning? Depends on where you lived obviously, but the maps on the right courtesy of the respective NWS offices give a general idea. The highest report I have seen from this side of the state was 3" in Shidler, so the snowfall totals fell pretty much in line with the forecast. Quite frankly though, I am still surprised at how much snow managed to make it to the ground given the environment we were dealing with. Strong southerly winds in this part of the country just does not add up to a wintry weather event except in very rare instances; and obviously this was one of them. Best anyone can recall is one other time in the last 20+ years in which we received measurable snowfall and had a south wind, and that event did not have winds nearly as strong as we had this time around.
Those gusty southerly winds will continue through this evening and although any measurable precipitation has pretty much moved out of the state, there may be some patches of drizzle going into the evening hours. Temperatures will hold pretty steady in the low-mid 30s through the evening hours but dropping below freezing to start the day Tuesday. Our skies should also be clearing from west to east by early morning and with light winds there may be some icy patches with any residual moisture on bridges and overpasses first thing in the morning.
After that, light southerly winds and lots of sunshine should result in a very nice Valentine's Day with afternoon temperatures rebounding into the upper 40s to near 50. Another fast moving storm system will be crossing the state on Wednesday with cloudy skies, gusty southerly winds, very mild temperatures, and a good chance of rain; possibly even some thunder.
That will be followed by northerly winds, partly cloudy skies, and a bit of a cool down for Thursday. Another weak boundary looks to be moving across the state Friday night, but right now it does not appear to amount to much more than a wind shift. Thus, the coming weekend looks promising; it will certainly be much warmer than this past weekend.
So, stay tuned and check back for updates.

GF never eaten fish. Suggestions on the best fish you've eaten
- g
- grooverider Nov 23, 2011 06:14 PM
I have a bet with my girlfriend. If I can eat vegan for a month (including thanksgiving) she will eat fish a few times a week for a month. Im on week two and damn it if I could use a steak or some mouthwatering portk....but I digress. Back to the fish. She hasn't had fish in 20 years. My hope is to give her fish dishes so tasty that she will bring fish back into her diet. There is a restriction: No dairy. Given the restriction I'd like to get a range of cuisines so not all asian.
I thought I would start her off with a miso glazed black cod since it's light and subtle, not too fishy tasting. There will probably be some sushi there (at sushi Gen) at the end.
I was also thinking a really good crab cake might be good if anyone knows where I can get one. Maybe some cioppino.
Ok thanks for the input!
re: wienermobile
Very nice dish at Manhattan Beach Post, SLOW STEAMED CALIFORNIA WHITE SEA BASS bok choy, sudachi, lotus root, kaffir lime. Also their grilled salmon is perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and nicely medium rare in the middle. Small plates so if she wanted she could try a few different dishes you could.

Sushi at Mori Sushi.

Roy's does an excellent version of the miso glazed black cod. I'd recommend theirs wholeheartedly. In fact, they generally do other kinds of fish very well. I'm not sure if they can do a vegan dish for you, but if you give them advanced notice, they can easily pull it together for you, I'm sure.
re: Professor Salt
Thanks I've eaten at roys before and was happy with what I ordered. By the time she's eating this I'll no longer be vegan and very happy about that.
wienermobile hit the nail on the head with the Providence suggestion.
you can never go wrong with the roasted scallops or black cod at Scarpetta...and if the food at Mariscos Chente doesn't convince her to come back to the pescatarian side, you may be out of luck.
Son of a Gun or Hungry Cat might be good bets too. and for cioppino or bouillabaisse:

re: goodhealthgourmet
Take her to The Hungry Cat and ply her with those delicious cocktails first.
The Hungry Cat
100 W Channel Rd, Santa Monica, CA 90402
Providence might be pricey but if you splure and get that tasting menu - she will try a dozen different kinds of fish and likely be blown away by all of them. The drawback is that she is not going to get as good an experience anyplace else.
Then again, you can probably put together a seafood/vegetarian menu at Melisse. You can can call and ask if they can put together a seafood tasting menu - they probably could (just not the variety of Providence - whose focus is on seafood). Still, some of the best fish I've had there (recently had John Dory and it was insane). Do that with the egg caviar, and few other things and she should be wondering why she avoided it for so long.
Hungry cat is also quite good. I've had very good fish at Sam's (next door to The Hungry Cat) - soft shell crab and such.
Really great sushi - hm. It might be too much of a challenge for a whole evening. Could always do something with some raw fish marinated in something interesting, but a whole evening of raw fish might be too challenging.
Calamari at a good Italian restaurant is pretty easy. And when she's feeling a little braver - the charred octopus salad at Mozza is great - and doesn't taste remotely "fishy".
The Hungry Cat
1535 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028
re: GH1618
Osaka (Peruvian/Japanese fusion) on Hollywood Blvd. at Vine has amazing ceviches. And their scallop dishes are really good too.
You're apparently not requesting a restaurant recommendation - more an actual fish. Right?
Hard to find out here, but I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't enjoy the delicate taste of flounder. It's not "fishy" and would seem to meet the requirements. I have no specific recipes to suggest.
re: ArtShapiro
from the OP: There will probably be some sushi there (at sushi Gen) at the end. I was also thinking a really good crab cake might be good if anyone knows where I can get one. Maybe some cioppino.
sounds like he's asking for restaurant recs.
re: goodhealthgourmet
Yes Im looking for restaurant recommendations. Son of a Gun is a good idea. I liked Animal so Im curious to try it. Providence I tried a few years ago and wasn't breath taken by the food, but I'll give it another go.

re: grooverider
I think y'all are going too far - you're going to scare her off w/all these fish-only places.
Take her to Comme Ca on Melrose and order the skate in brown butter. That will get her back on the wagon.
Am guessing any self-respecting woman referred to in that manner will gladly comply with the 'we're over' part.
Please do not bother responding to this. He's just trolling to piss people off. Thanks for all the good comments so far.
The sea bass at Larchmont Bungalow done in miso is pretty darn good,...and the salmon and spinach salad was also good...simple, comfortable, and it won't break the bank. and you might go for brunch - good stuff, and tho tempted, I haven't yet tried the lobster crab cake (only because it's a lot of schtuff). crab cakes?...Mortons, Pacific Dining Car, Hungry Cat, the Lobster...and even Fleming's (downtown) does an okay one...

Lucic totaled 59 points (24G, 35A) in 80 regular-season contests, adding four goals and three helpers over 12 postseason appearances.
Kelly recorded nine goals and 18 points in 57 regular-season tilts, but did not see the ice in the playoffs due to his back issues.

Current Events
A couple of horses attached to a cart were driven against a trolley wire of the West End Company's electric system, at the corner of Boylston and Dartmouth Streets, yesterday forenoon at about eleven o'clock, and were thrown to the ground. The wire, it is said, had been torn from its fastenings on the overhead cross-wire by a pile-driver loaded on a team, and had sagged down to within a few feet of the ground. The driver of the cart drove on without noticing the wire, with the result above stated. The horses were on the ground several minutes, but were finally unharnessed and pulled out, apparently not much injured, but trembling in every limb. On February 15, 1890, I was told by a man employed at the stable that the horses had been sick and good-for-nothing ever since; being stupid, weak, and unfit for any work.

The English Actor, Slow of Comprehension
Such a representation, for instance, as was given of King Bobeche, by Mr. Stoyle, is as pitiable as it can possibly be rendered. Mr. Stoyle, who deserves the unenviable reputation of being the most offensive actor on the lyric stage, fills his part with interpolations of the most objectionable kind. As a curiosity in theatrical records, the fact may be chronicled that a man who is allowed to sing at our best theatres inserted in the dialogue of the most sparkling writers of the day such "gag" as "Pickles at a shilling a bottle!" and other like vulgarisms, and escaped without a sound of disapproval from the more fashionable parts of the house, and with a roar of applause from the gallery. Wherever in the original a joke is suggested or implied, by vulgar word or gesture, Mr. Stoyle thrusts it upon the audience, and at the close of one of the acts he throws himself upon the ground in his kingly robes, and entertains the spectators with a mimicry of the actions of Punch in the raree-show. We should not dignify with so much attention this pitiable exhibition did it not exemplify, somewhat over- strongly perhaps, a radical weakness in English acting. The actor in England, uneducated himself, and slow of comprehension, will not believe that the hint he can scarcely take tells fully with people of quicker apprehension. He accompanies it, accordingly, with a gloss of speech or gesture which is entirely fatal to the delicacy and beauty of the humour. This vice is seldom carried to so deplorable an excess as has now been exemplified, but its presence is constantly manifested.

When brought to close conflict, they fight with determination; but when their inferiority of force is obvious, they seek refuge in flight to retreats only accessible to them. Little groups so surrounded by sunken patches of coral reef as to be almost unapproachable, serve them as places of security. From the midst of these they emerge and attack, not only native boats but European traders, profiting by calms, contrary winds, or the weakness of those whom they assail. When no prospect appears of gaining by the sale of their prisoners, or there is a chance of detection, they kill without mercy, not only the men, but the women and children who fall into their hands — or sometimes this is done to revenge an obstinate resistance. Occasionally, one of the captives is released to procure a ransom for the rest; and the pirates boldly await his return at some appointed rendezvous — perhaps in the vicinage of a commercial settlement.

The Electric Girl: Part 1
ANGELIQUE COTTON, THE ELECTRICAL GIRL. Wonders multiply upon us so fast in this age of mesmerism, &c., that we know not what next to anticipate. That "Burnam's wood should come to Dunsinane," would not be more amazing than some of the things of which we now daily read. A recent number of Galignani gives a strange account of a young female called the Electric Girl. It seems Angelique Cotton is thirteen, a native of the department of the Finisere, where she was employed in a thread-glove manufactory as a winder. One day, whilst at work with her companions, the reel on which she was winding thread was suddenly projected from her. The circumstances excited surprise, the reel was replaced, when the same effect was renewed. It was then evident that Angelique herself was the cause. The affair made a noise in the village, and the cure was called in. It was supposed by them that she was possessed, and an exorcism was had recourse to, but no devil came out. After the priest, the doctor was applied to, but he was as unable to effect a cure as the cure had been. Another doctor then visited her, and witnessed the same effect as the other had seen, but being a sensible man, he made no attempt to cure an affection which he did not understand. This gentleman induced the mother of Angelique to send her to Paris, and accompanied her. A few days ago, she was taken to the Observatory, where Messrs. Arago, Mathieu, Laugier, and Goujon, witnessed the following experiments ; — A piece of paper, placed upon the edge of a table, was immediately attracted by the left hand of the girl. She then, holding her apron in her hand, approached a gueridon, which was pushed back, although the apron scarcely touched it. The next experiment was to place her in a chair with her feet on the ground. The chair was projected with violence against the wall, while the girl was thrown the other way. This experiment was repeated several times, and with the same results. M. Arago laid his hand upon the chair to prevent its moving, but the force was too great for his resistance, and M. Goujon, having seated himself on a part of the chair, was thrown off as soon as Angt'liqu1' had also taken her seat. Such, said M. Arago, were the facts witnessed, and he had seen nothing to justify an opinion that any deception had been practised. Sincethen, other experiments have been performed by Dr. Tauchon. This gentleman had the chair in which Angelique was seated held by two powerful men. In this instance it was not driven away, but broke in their hands. A table, a gueridon and a heavy sofa were projected by the mere contact of the girl's clothes. Dr. Tauchon ascertained that the chair in which she sits is first attracted, anb next repulsed. When Angelique is isolated from the ground by a glass stool, oiled silk, or any other nonconductorof electricity, the projections do not take place. A loadstone being placed near the left hand, which alone is magnetic, she experienced different sensations, according as the north and south poles were applied, and could tell with which pole she was in contact. She is repulsed by the north pole. She experiences violent commotions, when the electric discharges take place, and suffers greatly from them. It is in the evening, between seven and nine, about an hour after she has dined, that her electrical power is most strongly developed. Her pulse then beats from 105 to 120 per minute.

Doing a Hard Job Prettily
"Why did you do it?" I asked him.
"Well, I'll tell you," he said. "I simply couldn't help it. I'm no kleptomaniac. It isn't the stealing I like, but the fun of doing a hard job prettily. This is the second turn I've made. The first was like this: I saw a rich, fat man in a crowd, and I noticed that his watch was hung in a new way, hard to break. My fingers itched, not for the watch, but to break it off. I moved up, lifted the watch, walked away with it, and then went back and hung the thing on the chain again. This second time was something like that. I saw a delicate job, tried it, got the watch, and just then the fellow happened to look for the time. He hollered, and a detective nearby pinched me. I think I'm what you'd call a natural thief, but I like to work with my fingers and I like the excitement of stealing."

Your Aeroplane Won't Save You... From Christ
I Have, indeed, heard of some people foolish enough to maintain, that there "will come a time in which the ingenuity of man will invent machines to carry him through the air, with the fame ease as we now pass the seas;" which, they cry, seemed doubtless as impracticable at first as this does at present.
Could the regions of air, indeed, afford any shelter from that all-devouring fire which, we are told, shall consume the earth, there might be some little shadow of a hope, that the race of man might be preferred a second time by means no less surprizing than the first: But of what advantage would it be for us to fly, even tho' we had the wings of an eagle, or could soar with the king of birds, at a time when the heavens themselves, at least what we call so, shall be shrivelled up like a parchment; when the sun, and moon, and stars shall be dissolved, and all become one general conflagration.
And just in case you thought a spaceship could be your ticket to freedom:
But granting even all their wild imaginations can suggest: —supposing that some carriage could really be found out to bear us through the air from kingdom to kingdom, or to whatever place we pleased of the globe, we still should be able to discover as little of any other world as we do now standing upon the earth.
Every orb has its own impenetrable atmosphere; —a boundary, which nothing that is mortal can over-leap or pass through; and whether, even when we have thrown off this clog of flesh, the soul will receive any gratification of its enquiring nature in this point, lies only in the power of Him who gave it to determine.Image courtesy of Paleo-Future

Baboons: Perfectly Incorrigible
He is insolently salacious, affects to show himself in this situation, and seems to gratify his desires, per manum suam, before the whole world. This detestable action recalls the idea of vice, and renders disgustful the aspect of an animal, which Nature seems to have particularly devoted to such an uncommon species of impudence; for, in all other animals, and even in man, she has covered these parts with a veil. In the baboon, on the contrary, they are perpetually naked, and the more conspicuous, because the rest of the body is covered with long hair. The buttocks are likewise naked, and of a blood red colour; the testicles are pendulous; the anus is uncovered, and the tail always elevated. He seems to be proud of all those nudities; for he presents his hind parts more frequently than his front, especially when he sees women, before whom he displays an effrontery so matchless, that it can originate from nothing but the most inordinate desire. The magot, and some others, have the same inclinations; but, as they are smaller and not so petulant, they are taught modesty by the whip. The baboon, however, is perfectly incorrigible, and nothing can tame him.

Look! Hooks Under Console Shelf
OK, so the radiator underneath this shelf is making us a wee bit nervous, but the idea of installing hooks underneath a landing strip shelf is a pretty neat idea to store short jackets, bags, leashes, and maybe even keys if you don't have a bowl on top to hold them. What do you think?

why would a shelf over a radiator make you nervous? People put rad-covers on all the time! this is a great idea. I love the red gollashes.
It's not as if Southern Californians run their radiators year round. But I think I'd have put the shelf level with the top of the wainscotting, and made it flush with the corner.
revolution9: I think it's the hanging items touching the hot radiator that makes her nervous.
last year, i screwed in several hooks underneath the floating shelf by my front door. i didnt have room for an actual table so i hang keys there, gloves in winter, small bags, etc. I wouldn't hang coats or hoodies there because that to me looks junkie, but i like that you cant really see the smaller items like keys when you enter.
love the concept. but the radiator makes me a twee bit nervous as well
if your rad is running hot enough to start a fire, then I'd turn your rad down. Plus, aren't you in California? If you were in Winter-towne USA, then I'd be more concerned.
I like! I probably wouldn't hang anything under there though during the winter (just in case).
Being from the cold Canadian north, I have never encountered a radiator that was warm enough to set things on fire! If it was it would discolour the wainscoting. Besides, they are the best place to dry wet socks!
i have never in my life seen a radiator hot enough to cause a fire ... like the simple solution.
Great idea!
it's a steam radiator
I wonder if a rad has ever caused a fire?? That's how my house was heated growing up and we never had issues... That'd be the prefect place to warm mittens and scarves in the winter!
No, fire but steam radiators spew water (if the valve is left open). Plus, the rapid change in temperature can dry out leather shoes. But I think its dead on for things that I'd normally let dry on a radiator (ie mittens).
Quite an excellent place to dry off wet jackets and shoes on a rainy day. I'm almost sad that my apartment is electric only.
I've lived with radiators for years in a really cold climate. They don't set things on fire. There's no flame or electricity, it's just a big hunk of metal with hot water or steam inside. It's a great place to dry wool socks.

The Stand by King, StephenFiled under: Sci-Fi | Buy on Amazon
In my lifetime of reading I've always steered clear of Stephen King, the master of horror, gore, and million dollar contracts. But I'm beginning to see that he has some skills, and I decided to read something by King.
I chose The Stand, mainly because the post-apocalyptic living plot (a super disease wipes out 99 percent of the population) intrigued me and seemed less prone to horror and gore (unfortunately it was also in the range of 800 pages). Overall, it was a thrilling read, scary in places and insightful in others. The spiritual depth came across as more realistic than most purposely Christian fiction. I'm not ready to dig into The Shining or Carrie yet, but I do have a new respect for Stephen King.

Transas widens offerings for Russian flight training
Russian simulator and avionics specialist Transas is expanding its flight-training portfolio for both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The company is also engaged in an ongoing program to equip Russian aircraft with the terrain avoidance and warning systems (TAWS) that they need to fly on international routes.
One recent initiative has been to establish a helicopter pilot training center near Moscow for Russian energy giant Gazprom. The facility features five full-flight simulators and is claimed to be the largest rotorcraft flight training center in Europe. Transas, which has ambitions to provide simulators for foreign aircraft, also has established a two-simulator facility in Tyumen for Russian operator UTair.
Meanwhile, Transas and Ilyushin Finance are preparing to set up flight training centers for the Antonov An-148 and Tupolev Tu-204 airliners. They are due to open late this year or early next year and initially will offer flight-training devices before full-flight simulators for the aircraft can be installed.
Separately, Transas (Hall 3 Stand D18) has received orders to install TAWS on some 160 Russian airliners. About 320 aircraft are expected to require this system, and the Russian air force has placed an order to similarly equip 10 of its transport aircraft that need to fly outside the country.
The company is also preparing to provide an alternative TAWS system for helicopters. Russian authorities are considering a new mandate for the equipment to cover the country's rotorcraft fleet, requirements that could extend to some 500 aircraft.
Meanwhile, R.E.T. Kronstadt (Hall 1 Stand B13)–a training and electronic mapping company jointly owned by Transas and Russian military export agency Rosoboronexport–has significantly boosted its sales since forming a new division called Simulator Systems, which brings together its full portfolio of technical training aids for all branches and services of the Russian armed forces. The company has seen annual revenues increase from $8 million to around $100 million as it has won more export contracts.

Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common sexual dysfunctions experienced by men who are in their forties in Canada. This is the condition wherein the strand of arteries that carries blood to the penis displays poor blood circulation. One of the most common causes of this sexual dysfunction is the poor or deteriorating health conditions that are suffered by men in Canada during this period in their life. Some of the conditions that cause this dysfunction are high level of cholesterol and high levels of blood sugar. The drug called Levitra is one of the aphrodisiacs that are used by men in Canada that are experiencing erectile dysfunction.
Levitra is one of the many erectile dysfunction medications that are available in Canada. It is guaranteed to provide temporary treatment for erectile dysfunctions. The use of Levitra for Canadian men has the following pros:
The use of Levitra is most preferred by doctors in Canada who suffers erectile dysfunction and diabetes. The abnormal condition of the body of a diabetic restricts the cells in the body to absorb certain ingredients that are present in other aphrodisiacs disabling its effect, while the active ingredients of Levitra are not rejected by the cells making it more appropriate for men with erectile dysfunction and diabetes.
The users of Levitra in Canada liked the product because they don't have to suffer from hunger just to take it. The only thing about it is that the ingredients of Levitra are sensitive to the contents of some food and alcohol. It must also be taken when eating foods with high fat content because it slows down the effect of the drug.
The Levitra that is used in Canada is easily absorbs by the body. The fast absorption speeds up its effect in the body. Normally other brands take about an hour for a man to feel its full effect. However, in Levitra it only needs an approximate of 15 minutes for its full effect to be felt and last for about four hours.
Canadian Levitra is safe to use. Compared to other brands that target erectile dysfunction, the Levitra from Canada does not have the same amount and intensity of side effect such as tinted vision for men with no cardio-vascular conditions.
Despite of the pros of using Levitra, it also has its cons.Levitra has a relatively shorter effect time compared to other products.
Sexual intercourse is the most common way for couples in Canada to express their love. But without the capacity of the man to come to an erection the full pleasure of sexual intercourse cannot be experienced by either of the couple. Using aphrodisiacs such as Levitra from Canada or Canadian Levitra, Canadian men in their early and even late 40 and beyond can still enjoy the pleasures of having sex same as their first time.
