Fallax let out a huff. "Like hell it does," he murmured. He hated doctors, scientists as well. "All of that poking and prodding and shit…someone's gonna die," he growled, paying no mind that he was thinking aloud and finding it to be a rather important bit of information for the man to know. "Good," he then responded. "I would hate to have to prove just how much of a 'possible threat' I am just because one of your little crackpot researchers decided to get a bit too touchy…" He then glared up at the man, eyes burning far greater than the tip of his cigarette and just as bright. "Am I understood?"
Hearing Fallax speak, it was hard to imagine why anyone thought it would be a good idea to perform any sort of tests on him that he wouldn't approve of. After all, what were the lives of a couple of lowly scientists to an aggravated demon? "One hundred percent," Soren confirmed, trying to ignore the look in the demon's eyes. It was not a pleasant one, and it was almost enough to make his skin crawl. Almost. "Any other messages you'd like for me to relay to the Director?"
Harry Potter: Tell us about a scar on your body
Hermione Granger: What is your favorite book, how many times have you read it, and why do you love it?
Ron Weasley: Something you're afraid of?
Luna Lovegood: One thing that makes you different from everyone else.
Everett shoved his hands into his pockets as they walked, pressing his arms close against his sides in an attempt to fight back against the chill in the air. He listened as Andersen spoke, watching the other man out of the corner of his eye. "It almost just sounds like the kid up and ran away. At least, it would if there weren't so damn many of 'em missin'… Could always be a group of kids decided to run away, but they're so young. Plus, they didn't all leave at once."
Boudreaux had a point. Aside from the fact that the missing children were barely old enough to tie their own shoes and they had disappeared at various times, it could have easily been labeled a runaway. "Which, unfortunately, means that whatever we're dealing with is most likely a bit nastier than children unhappy with their home environment…" Why did it have to be children? Adults missing would be easier to handle, but children meant dealing with parents - upset, emotional parents.
"A forest god," the Guardian echoed, his frown turning curious as he tried to recall having ever heard of such. "I… think I have encountered beings by that name. But they were never harmful to humans, I do not think."
"It's hardly an everyday occurrence, and there's been little other trouble with forest gods since… I truly think it was a one time thing, but you reminded them of the incident and made them nervous."

I have a confession to make: I'm a system stat whore. Not just on my PCs, either - I want to know what's up on all my devices, all the time. I've been using OS Monitor on my tablets for quite a while now, and while the information it provides is useful, it doesn't encompass all of the info that I wanted to see at a glance. Furthermore, it doesn't offer support for quad-core devices like the Transformer Prime.
On Android, there are plenty of ways to monitor your processor, battery, RAM usage, etc. However, there is really no way to monitor said information while continuing to do other tasks, since Android only allows one window in the foreground at a time. That's where Cool Tool, a simple resource monitoring app, comes into play.
Cool Tool is different than other resource monitors on Android because it has an option to stay on top of other windows or the notification bar, allowing you to constantly monitor your hardware statistics.

From Topic: API v3 Released
Hi -- Great to see an update to the API. I wanted to know if the list of changes on the linked page (https://api/toodledo.com) can be considered a complete change list, or if this is only highlights.
Basically, I'm interested in upgrading my existing application that uses the v2 API and want to know just how much I actually need to touch to get it working. The documentation is fairly extensive (both for v2 and v3), and I haven't been working directly with the v2 API for quite a while, so I'm looking for pointers without trying to do a line by line comparison of the two docs.
If the above mentioned list is complete, that looks like it might be enough to go on.
I'd appreciate any feedback from other developers about the migration process from v2 to v3.

From Topic: Forum Paging with Date Range is broken
It seems that there is a problem with the paging links when searching with a duration.
I start by searching for "collaboration", then select "in the last year". This gets me to page 1 of 2 pages as desired:
https://www.toodledo.com/forums/search.php?search=collaboration&searchPerson=&dateRange=365&fid=2&ti d=0
But then I click to the next page, and it drops my date range:
And this gives me page 2 of 14 (all results since the dawn of time).
If I manually add ";dateRange=365" to the end of that URL it properly gives me the right page 2.

From Topic: What do you use outlines for?
I'm also interested in the motivation behind the new outlines feature. Adding a new feature like this must have started with some unique set of requirements that is different from the tasks model. Can you share?
I also have long wanted a sub-sub-task capability, so it's extremely frustrating to see that it showed up 1) in another feature entirely, and 2) still unavailable via the API.
Seems to me that outlines are really just specialized interface to tasks (with support for unlimited hierarchy). I think it would be fantastic to be able to view and add tasks via this interface.
For example, I'd start a new project via the simplified "outline" interface in a brainstorm session. Quick, easy, simple view to get started. Then, when I'm done I can go back to the normal task view to formalize it, add priorities/due dates/etc.
As it is the outline feature is really a toy. You have the example of "How to buy a house" -- which is actually quite perfect. But that's just the starting point. Where do I take notes? When was that task completed? How do I know what the important next steps are for the coming week?
As a developer, I'd think the underlying data model of outlines would be *precisely* the same as the tasks model, because as far as I can tell an "outline" task has a subset of the fields and capabilities of a normal task (with the sole exception of unlimited hierarchy). As such, "Outlines" should be just UI sugar on top of a filtered set of tasks.
My suggestion:
1. Add unlimited hierarchy to tasks
2. Make "outlines" basically a special UI for interacting with a saved search of tasks
One key benefit of this approach is that you need to do *nothing* to support this via the API because you already have all the info in the tasks, including parent relationship for tasks.

In my app, I just use a negative number. Makes it easy to identify tasks which are not yet synced with the server. ;-)

From Topic: Notebook HTML Tags
I'll second this request, as I do exactly the same thing. I end up clicking "edit" just to see it in courier font.
Even better, add support for more tags:
* list tags

* table tags

Or, just go with a wiki model of simplified text input.

From Topic: Recommendation for Personal/Private Wiki?
I've had good experience with both TWiki and DokuWiki. Both support download for installation on your personal web server. I think both also support hosted wikis if you don't have your own server. Syntax between the two is almost identical. DokuWiki is probably going to be easier / more lightweight in terms of configuration and setup.

I've been working on org-toodledo (emacs integration with org-mode) and been thinking about how to add folder support and as a result I have a feature request.
Basic problem: There is no strict relationship between the folder assignment of tasks and subtasks.
Feature Request
Add a setting to Subtasks:
[x] Subtask's folder always inherits from it's parent
This would work as follows:
1. Creating a subtask C of task P sets C's folder to that of P
2. Making an existing task C a child of task P sets C's folder to that of P, even if C previously had a different folder assigned.
3. Promoting a subtask C to a top-level task retains the folder assigned to it.
4. Make the setting available via the Developer's API
I spent a fair amount of time searching the forums for discussions about this topic, and here's what I've gathered.
Folders are not really much more than a special tag on a task which enables filtering. In the sense that you can build a view that is restricted to a single folder gives the impression that the folder provides grouping. However, this is not much different than the view by context or tag.
In fact there has certainly been confusion on the list about the difference between the proper use of context versus folder. If used according to GTD, context denotes something about where a task can be completed, thus has some special meaning that can be leveraged. But I can find no such special meaning for folders.
It is clear that some folks use folders just like a special tag. Proximo's famous GTD methodology uses folders in this way, assigning the task to a folder to denote the state of a task (Inbox, Actions, Projects, Waiting...). There is already a Status field for each task that performs almost the same function, which some have pointed out. As I understand it, Proximo simply used Folder as it provided the flexibility needed to implement GTD in a way that made sense to him.
However, the standard concept of a folder really does not apply. By that I mean a folder is generally a fairly rigid grouping construct. If you put an item in a folder, that item and all of its dependencies are in that folder.
Currently, Toodledo with folder as an attribute allows for the following:
* Parent task (Folder=FOO)
** Subtask 1 (Folder=BAR)
** Subtask 2 (Folder=None)
Expected behavior:
* Parent task (Folder=FOO)
** Subtask 1 (Folder=FOO)
** Subtask 2 (Folder=FOO)
In this way, folder really need only be assigned to top-level tasks (or alternately read-only for subtasks). It could be better visualized as follows:
* Folder FOO
** Parent task
*** Subtask 1
*** Subtask 2
This is much more intuitive to me, and now gives "folder" a special meaning apart from a tag -- a task and all it's subtasks are part of the folder. Moving the task to a new folder changes all the sub-tasks as well. This is not a behavior I want for tags in general.
Why do I care? As I implement this in Emacs org-toodledo, I cannot find any way to meaningfully distinguish between a "folder" and a "tag", other than the fact that a task can only be associated with one folder, which doesn't seem terribly interesting to me. I had hoped to use folder as a higher level construct like my example above, and the user can certainly create views of tasks by filtering on folder, but such a view is no different than filtering on any other tag.
Given that there are no doubt plenty of users that use folder as a tag and have subtasks with different folders (like the first example), I don't really expect a wholesale change here, the feature request for a new setting to enable this behavior.

I can confirm that the time that comes back via "duedate" is noon GMT, not midnight. I figured that this is to minimize the likelihood that you'd have to pay attention to timezone if converting to a date, as for any timezone +/- 12 hours from GMT (which is almost all timezones), you'll still be in the same date.
Posted: Jan 30, 2012
Posted by Toodledo:
In fact, we do store time as seconds since midnight in our database. We convert to GMT for the API, because our developers requested this.
Heh...got it. Not a big deal, I can adapt. I just wanted to make sure I understood how things are supposed to be working and that it is intentional.
May I suggest a change to the documentation for the API as follows:
duetime : A GMT unix timestamp for when the task is due. If the task does not have a time set, then this will be 0. If the task has a duetime without a duedate set, then the date component of this timestamp will be Jan 1, 1970. Only the time relative to midnight GMT is important. For example "Jan 13 8:00am GMT" means the task is due at 8:00am on the date of interest in the local timezone. This time must not be adjusted for the local timezone.
Similar for starttime.

From Topic: Error while setting completed date
Posted by Toodledo:
True, it is more of a warning than an error, but we don't have a method for sending warnings back to the requester. We figured that a developer would get this error once, and then look it up and fix their code so it would never happen again. We disallow these fields in the request to save bandwidth. I know that 10 bytes may not seem like much, but when you multiple it by the millions of API calls we get per day, it really adds up on our end, which is why we are aggressive about sending and requesting the minimum amount of data necessary.
Yep -- makes sense. One suggestion, change the message slightly to:
{"errorCode":3,"errorDesc":"id,title,modified,completed do not need to be specified *in the fields parameter*"}
I know I hit exactly the same problem when writing my API, and took me a bit to figure out what exactly the problem was.
Posted: Jan 30, 2012
So as I think about this, I think the feature you are going for is along the lines of an alarm clock as opposed to scheduling a meeting. I get up daily at 6am, so I set my alarm clock to 6:00am. If I travel to a different timezone, I still get up at 6am, thus it would be convenient if the alarm stayed at 6am.
If this is the case, then duetime and starttime should really not be stored in GMT time, and instead stored as seconds since midnight. Storing the duetime as a UNIX timestamp implies that the time is sensitive to timezone, and thus has been adjusted to account for local time.
Posted: Jan 29, 2012
From Topic: Error while setting completed date
You need to drop "completed" from the list of fields that you are updating. In your case that means your list of fields is empty. See http://api.toodledo.com/2/tasks/index.php, look for the description for "fields":
Always returned (do not list in the fields paramater):
id, title, modified, completed
As a request to the Toodledo folks, this really need not be an error....
Posted: Jan 29, 2012
FYI -- the Toodledo iPad application suffers from the same problem. Setting the time in the iPad app stores the time as relative to GMT and does not seem to pay attention to the timezone of the iPad.
Posted: Jan 29, 2012
I am seeing any issue with timezones and the duedate/duetime fields. Here's what I'm doing:
1. Verify my timezone -- I went to the account settings page and it shows my current local time (-5h -- Eastern), so that's correct.
2. Create a task on toodledo.com. Set the Due Date/Time to "Jan 30, 2012 at 10:00am". It shows up properly on the website as tomorrow 10:00am".
3. Retrieve the task via the api and I get back a unix timestamp for duetime=1327917600, which converted to a string is:
duetime = 1327917600
GMT time = 2012-01-30 10:00:00 GMT
EST time = 2012-01-30 05:00:00 EST (-0500)
This seems wrong to me. Since the timezone on the website is set to -0500, then setting the due time to 10:00am should be interpreted as 10:00am EST, not GMT.
Also, when I change my timezone on toodledo.com account settings page to -0400, and then look at my tasks, it still says the task is due at 10:00am. It should now read 11:00am because of the 1h change.

From Topic: Emacs org-mode integration with org-toodledo
Hi Folks,
I'd like to announce the initial release of org-toodledo.el using the 2.0 API.
If you're a user of Emacs, this allows you to synchronize tasks with a file in org-mode. Most features are fully supported:
* bi-directional synchronization of all tasks
* task completion, state tracking
* priorities, contexts, start time, due date
Support for Folders and sub-tasks to come...
org-mode itself is a powerful organization system for Emacs that extends beyond just tasks. Mixing in tasks and synchronizing with Toodledo extends it's reach to the web and my iPhone for the most pressing well defined actions.

From Topic: Get Current TimeStamp
I'd like to resurrect this question. It used to exist in the old 1.0 API via getServerInfo API call and I'm trying to update an application that is built of the old API and bring it up to 2.0.
I may not be thinking about this properly, but here's my logic:
Getting the server type is necessary to determine if there is a time offset between my computer and the server (ie. one of us is not properly NTP synced). That seems to cause problems when attempting to compare timestamps between tasks that were edited both locally and on the server.
I'd rather get the current server time, compare with local time to see if the times are off and use the offset for all time-based comparisons.

Houston and Galveston Feature
Mega-Spirited Texas
If you see motorcycles flying overhead while you're in Texas, forget the state fair or rodeo, you just might be in church. As surely as Texas history is seen in its missions like the Alamo, a slice of the state's current culture can be seen in its Battlestar Galactica-like churches. Beyond their sociological significance, the sheer "wow" factor alone (generated by their immense size and offerings) makes Texas's megachurches tourist-worthy sites. In fact, many of them even cater to tourists, with building tours, special events, and book signings.
Texas has more than 182 megachurches (those with a weekly attendance greater than 2,000)—many more per capita than California, which has about the same number of big churches but twice as many residents. Statisticians say that Texas ranks first in the nation in the number of evangelical Protestants and third in number of Catholics.
Houston features the truly stupendous Lakewood Church, the largest church in the country with a Sunday attendance of 45,000, spread out over three services. Its Texas-sized slogan is "Dreaming Big," and its leaders, Joel and Victoria Osteen, have plunked the church into the sports arena formerly occupied by the Houston Rockets. With a Texas-twanged smile Joel welcomes people to "our big living room." His most recent book Become a Better You, released in October 2007, was at the time of this writing expected to sell more than 5 million copies. Visitors can take self-guided tours of the church, or stop in for music concerts, seminars, conferences, and classes held throughout the week.
Houston has lots of other "biggest of the big" religious sites to visit. Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell, who presided over George W. Bush's presidential inaugurations, also presides over the largest Methodist church in the country: Kingdom Builders Center. Mega-synagogue Beth Yeshurun is the largest Conservative Jewish congregation in the country (with more than 4,000 attendees), and in 2008 Catholics—not to be outdone—built a mega-European style Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart with 32 million pounds of concrete and one-half million pounds of steel. Even Rick Warren has an outpost in Houston; at Fellowship of The Woodlands, Pastor Shook's services are known for dramatic sermon illustrations like motorcycles leaping over his head when he discussed having faith.
If you're single and looking, then be sure to visit Second Baptist Church, which claims it hosts the largest adult singles gatherings at any church in the country—7,313 to be exact. And every March the largest Cowboy Church in the world forms on Sundays at the world's largest rodeo, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Not to be religiously out-bigged by Houston, Dallas proclaims itself as the newest buckle of the Bible belt. The city is a sort of Disneyland of big churches. You can attend various churches' weekday power lunches, use their mega-sports centers to play ball, or attend conferences that attract more than half a million attendees. On 140 acres (and growing rapidly), Dallas-area's Prestonwood Baptist gathers 28,000 every Sunday to listen to Dr. Jack Graham and the 650-member choir, the largest in Texas. If you like the Texas Rangers, Dallas Cowboys, or other Texas sports teams, then Prestonwood's PowerLunches on Tuesdays are the place to hear the athletes talk.
T. D. Jakes's The Potter's House sponsors the biggest conferences, including, in 2008, a men's conference featuring excursions, concerts, and seminars in one of Texas's grand cowboy-styled resorts. Author of the mega-hit book Woman, Thou Art Loosed, Jakes held a four-day Megafest in 2004 that had more than half a million attendees. On Sundays 30,000 congregants pack his church, along with a Grammy-winning choir. Bishop Jakes has twice been featured on the cover of Time magazine as "America's Best Preacher" and one of this nation's "25 most influential evangelicals."
But if you want to visit the mega-author of Texas churches who has written more books than any pastor in the U.S., then you must go to San Antonio to Max Lucado's Oak Hills Church. After 14 refusals, Lucado finally found a publisher and then batted out more than 100 books and counting (with more than 55 million in print). He preaches—simply and directly—three times a month at his very tourist-friendly megachurch of 5,300 weekly attendees.

That agonizing of the heart

and what I'll never know.
These sleepless nights are what I wish
you'll have, along with me,
and never know a minute's peace,
as long as time shall be.
My wish is you will never know
a love that is complete,
but go from one love to the next,
not winning, but defeat.
My hope for you is not in love,
but love's catastrophe,
the very same that I will know,
the rest of life for me;
I want your life to be a mess,
and know the truth of it,
love is not gentle nor a friend,
but pieces that won't fit.
I pray each night each dream will show
love is not so divine,
and sleepless, you will come to know,
Your love is just like mine.

Talk about a special delivery. More than 900 volunteers in Henderson are taking part in an event to feed children in need.
The parking lot was full, the gym was full, so many volunteers coming together to make a difference in the life of a child.
The Feed My Starving Children organization and the Henderson community were busy making food packages on Saturday, packages that will be sent to malnourished children in other countries.
An opportunity given to the community by one couple, an opportunity that the community ran away with.
"I went over to the first shift and Jill went over to the second shift. It was just exciting," said Thomas Logan who funded the project.
The food packages will be sent to a warehouse in Chicago first, but from there, they will go out to another country where there are children in need.

Randolph-Macon College student Kaitlyn Allan '10 was named the
Resident Assistant of the Year by the Virginia Association of College and University
Housing Officers (VACUHO) at their annual conference in November 2009. The VACUHO
Governing Council is comprised of housing and residence life graduate and professional
staff from a dozen Commonwealth institutions.
"The conference brings together RAs from Virginia schools and gives them opportunities
to teach and learn from one another," says Allan. "I am thrilled to be the recipient
of this award."
Allan worked as a resident assistant during her sophomore year and currently serves
as a Mentor Resident Assistant (MRA). "I work with a group of eight resident assistants
(RAs) and help them develop their skills and answer questions they have throughout
the year," she says.
Being in charge of training and staff development this year gave Allan the opportunity
to plan a two-week RA training session, an experience that prompts her to continually
assess RA procedures. "Now I can look for areas where staff may need further training
and help plan appropriate sessions to address those needs," she says. "I also coordinate
monthly staff development events to help foster a sense of community among RAs.
When you become a resident assistant, you really become part of a close-knit, caring
Allan is appreciative of the people with whom she collaborates in the college's
Office of Residence Life and Housing (ORLH). "In my three years with ORLH, Christina
Brown, assistant director of resident life and housing, has really challenged me
to grow as a RA and I really appreciate that," says Allan. "My Randolph-Macon experience
would not be as rewarding without the relationships I've formed with everyone who
works in the ORLH."
Allan, who hails from Midlothian, Virginia, is a French and international studies
major, with minors in history and secondary education.

2G: Court notice to CBI on Raja's plea
Issuing notice, Justice A.K. Pathak sought a reply from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) within four weeks and posted the matter for Sep 6.
Raja, who was arrested in February 2011 and spent 15 months in prison before getting bail, contended in the petition that the CBI special judge hearing the case erred in holding that there was illegality in the manner spectrum was allocated.
The former minister also alleged that the chargesheet filed in the case showed a bias in the investigation as it was silent on the telecom licences issued during 2003-07, the period before the allocation of licences under Raja in 2008.
"During the period 2003-07, a total of 51 licences were issued by the DoT (department of telecommunication). These were issued on the same terms and conditions as those issued by the DoT under the petitioner in the year 2008. Yet the charge sheet has chosen to remain silent on this aspect, which shows the bias in its investigation. The special judge has also ignored this aspect altogether, which is a grave error," said Raja, a DMK MP, in his petition.
He further said that CBI special judge O.P. Saini failed to appreciate that the decisions and actions of Raja as minister on the issues relating to allotment and pricing of 2G spectrum were fully in conformity with the department's consistent policy.
Raja claimed that the successive governments had chosen to allocate telecom licences and spectrum on a basis other than revenue maximisation.
Telecom watchdog, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), has consistently taken the view that revenue generation should not be a major determinant of the policy governing the telecom sector, he added.

A new governor. A struggling state economy. Controversial changes coming down from Lansing.
That was the recipe for the history-making recalls of two Michigan state senators almost 30 years ago.
Recalls are heating up again in Michigan, and around the country, this year. While an effort aimed against newly-elected Gov. Rick Snyder has commanded most of the attention, recall petitions are also being circulated locally against state Sen. Patrick Colbeck (R-Canton) and some two dozen other Michigan legislators. Petition language was recently approved by the Wayne County Elections Division.
For organizers of Colbeck's recall, votes on cuts to school funding and business taxes are inexcusable.
But how fruitful will recall organizers' efforts be?
"We don't know how many will even make the ballot - there's just one I'm aware of that looks like it will at this point," said Bill Ballenger, publisher of Inside Michigan Politics and a longtime observer of the state's electoral landscape.
Stakes are high but so are the odds
Snyder's recall is seen as a long shot by most political observers. No Michigan governor has ever been recalled and only two sitting governors have been recalled in the past 90 years.
But a recall of Colbeck and other GOP legislators could shift the balance of power in the state Legislature, halting new-found Republican momentum on everything from taxes to the state's new emergency financial manger law.
"Our wording is simple," said Mary Kelley, the Northville resident who took out the recall petitions against Colbeck. "People don't want an unelected bureaucrat running their cities or schools." Kelley said she's part of a group of 423 people, including petition circulators, who are working on the recall.
For Kelley and her fellow petition circulators, the issues run deeper.
"There's the feeling that Sen. Colbeck doesn't really represent the interests of people in the 7th District - whether it's cutting $470 per student from our public schools to a $1.8 billion tax break for business," she said.
Cuts in per-student spending, mitigated in part by a one-time $100 per student "best practices" grant for districts that follow select financial procedures, and changes in the state's business tax structure are two key elements of the budget balancing and economic development strategies put forth by the governor and approved by the Republican majorities in the state House and Senate.
Colbeck, a Republican who represents the 7th Michigan Senate District, has called the recall effort wrongheaded and says he's doing his best to bring jobs and revenue back to Michigan.
"It is unfair to taxpayers to spend their money on recall elections when an elected official does their job and casts a vote as they were elected to do," Colbeck said in a statement to Northville Patch. "If we disagree with a lawmaker's philosophy or voting record we can work to vote them out of office at the next election."
Colbeck said he remained convinced that his congressional voting record was the right thing for Michigan.
"I have cast every single vote based on what I was elected to do by an overwhelming majority of the voters in my district, which is to restore financial responsibility to our state government and create an environment for job growth."
The state Senate district stretches from the Northville area to Grosse Ile and includes Plymouth, Plymouth Township and Canton Township, among other communities.

|Skelita Calaveras
|I have millions of pets and I get to see them each winter when they migrate back to Hexico. They are the Monarch mariposas and I love to be surrounded by their soft, fluttering beauty.
|Jinafire Long and Clawdeen Wolf
|Read the full profile
|Two Available
Skelita Calaveras is a calaca from Hexico (Mexico). She made her debut in "Scaris: City of Frights".
She is voiced by Laura Bailey in English.
She is voiced by Lety López un Latin American Spanish.
Skelita's body consists primarily of bones, though she has curled black hair with marigold streaks and brown eyes. Her face resembles a sugar skull and she has visible black vertical lines on her lips.
Based on artwork of Skelita, her family supposedly consists of a mother, father, brother, grandmother and herself, all of them are skeletons. Her sketchbook also mentions she has an aunt named Catrina and at least one cousin, who had recently celebrated her Quincenscara.
A grandmother has appeared in "Scare-itage", presumably the mother of Skelita's father. She may or may not be the grandmother in the picture in Skelita's diary, who looks more like she'd be her mother's mother.
According to her biography she is friends with Jinafire Long and Clawdeen Wolf.
In her diary, Skelita mentions having a pet butterfly named Nati. The Calaveras household also contains a skeletal dog. On the website profile she mentions that millions of Monarch butterflies are also her pets when ever they visit back from winter.
- June 21, 2012: Amazon puts up a list of upcoming doll lines, revealing the existence of Skelita Calaveras. Possibly taking this as a 'Go', photos of the dolls are released by Monster High Parents. Mattel responds immediately with an order to Amazon to remove the listings and a grand scale internet order to remove the images on account of copyright infringement. Evidently, the information was not yet to be revealed.
- June 26, 2012: Mattel registers the trademark for Skelita Calaveras.
- July 13, 2012: Skelita Calaveras debuts at San Diego Comic-Con International.
- July 13, 2012: Skelita Calaveras's profile art is revealed.
- November 1, 2012: Mattel introduces Skelita Calaveras fully on Facebook and Tumblr.
- Mid November, 2012: Skelita Calaveras's first doll is released as part of the Scaris: City of Frights series.
- December 13, 2012: Skelita Calaveras's profile is published on the Monster High website.
- Early 2013: Listings for Skelita, most notably those of Argos, refer to her as Skeletrina Calaveras.

- April 2, 2013: Skelita Calaveras makes her Ghoulfriends book debut in Ghoulfriends Just Want to Have Fun.
- "Skelita" is a cross-language portmanteau of "skeleton" and the suffix "-ita". "-ita" is Spanish and denotes the diminutive female form of a word, meaning that Skelita's name roughly translates to "little (female) skeleton".
- Skelita is based on the family background of Natalie Villegas, the designer.[1]
- Skelita's home country, Hexico, is a play on the real country of Mexico.
- Certain boxes containing Skelita and her bio have a misprint stating that she is 15 hundred scales old. This information was supposed to be on Jinafire Long's age.

Martha Medeiros: Get to know the newest imported talent from Brazil
Martha Medeiros is an emerging talent from the northeast of Brazil. She's been in the market for over 25; however, it was only in 2004 that her unique lace designs started to be recognized by the Brazilian fashion capital, Sao Paulo.
Her trademark is the use of a rare lace, hand-maded by hundreds of artisans from small villages in Brazil. Her specialty is evening dresses made with this special lace, and other noble materials, such as silk charmeuse, French lace, German silicone boning, and Swiss crinoline. Martha pays homage to this delicate fabric by creating garments that are true art pieces. She utilizes the most exquisite couture techniques along with hours of manual labor in order to ensure a perfect finishing.
Last year, Medeiros started to sell made-to-measure evening gowns to the highend department store, Bergdorf Goodman. She recently presented her new collection at Minas Trend Preview - one of the most prominent fashion events in Brazil.
In the near future, Martha Medeiros will probably become a must on every red carpet event.

Andrea Marques: A Promising Brazilian Designer From Rio
Brazil is known for its huge domestic fashion market concentrated to South American consumers only. This scenario has changed though. While developed countries struggle with the financial meltdown, Brazil's economy is growing fast. Local designers that in the past were content to live in the Brazilian fashion bubble are now being noticed globally.
This is the case of the young designer from Rio de Janeiro, Andrea Marques. Andrea is one out the top names on editors and buyers fashion radar, and has been pointed by WGSN as a Brazilian fashion designer with global potential.
Her fashion career started in the 1990's when she joined Maria Bonita Group in Brazil just after returning from her specialization at the Fashion Institute of Technology. Before launching her own label, Andrea worked for 15 years as the design director for Maria Bonita Extra, the contemporary line of the respected label Maria Bonita. In 2008, the designer debuted her own label at Fashion Rio. Since then, she is in the spotlight.
Ms. Marques is known for creating a chic carioca style (carioca means people born in Rio de Janeiro) for cosmopolitan and independent women from anywhere in the world. Her silhouettes are very feminine, and many of her pieces made of fluid fabrics are famous for exploring the women sensuality.
Andrea Marques' collection can be found at many multi-brand boutiques, and at her flagship in Rio de Janeiro.

Get Ready for Trip to Rio: #1 Stop - Alessa
This week, we got a new name: Newswear. The blog's new name came to refresh the idea of the blog. Now, Newswear is going to focus on what is new in fashion in terms of designer and shops. To start this new idea, I go to South America, more specifically, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the most prospective markets at the moment.
Rio de Janeiro has been retransformed since it was chosen to be the 2016 Summer Olympics' headquarter. Because Rio de Janeiro is located in Brazil, a BRICS' country, it is also calling the attention from many investors from all over the world. Rio is undoubtedly one of the most promising fashion markets in Latin America. The city that in the past was known for its swimwear is now bringing new talented designers who use fashion to transmit the city's lively lifestyle. These creative new talents from the so-called wonderful city like to play with colors and prints to communicate the city's free and energetic people.
In the next few weeks, get ready for a trip through the colors and sensations of the "Carioca" (people born in Rio) fashion. Newswear is going through inspiring stores and designers from Rio that everyone should start to know.
Today, Newswaer brings Alessa, a cool brand developed by the designer Alessandra Migani. Alessandra, who is an advertising agent and an artist, grew up in the middle of fashion. Her grandfather, Pope, was tailor in Italy, and then in Brazil. The name of the brand came from her nickname. She is called Alessa since she was a child. The designer graduated in Industrial Design and Communication in Rio de Janeiro. She then continued her education in London at the Central St. Martins College of Art & Design. Alessa's trademark is the combination of noble fabrics, such as silk, and prints. Her prints are very colorful and most of times bring ethnic elements. Classy and sexy dresses are always present in her collections. Her panties are also the big hit of the brand, and a huge success in Rio. Alessa likes to bring comfort to her pieces. Her collections generally bring elements from home, and are made of natural fibers, such as silk and cotton. Her style is simplistic, but innovative.
Although her brand has become a success in Brazil in the last few years, especially after her presentation in the last Fashion Rio editions, the brand is not her full time job. She still works as an art director at Ogilvy & Mather in Rio de Janeiro. I don't know if she plans to stop working with advertising to run her business, but I believe it will happen very soon.

Levi's Opens A Neighborhood Concept Store in Sao Paulo
After a long time, here I am back to my blog. Lately, I've been thinking about changing the blog's name, but I have so many business cards with this website address, so I decided to wait. I am not going to give with an excuse for my absence in the last months. I personally don't like bloggers who do such a thing. It's hard to update a blog when this is not your full time job, and for me, who work on the streets most of the time, it is even harder.
Anyway, anyhow, this month I saw many cool openings happening in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and I'll be happy to hare some of them with you.
After a long decade of fancy and large shops, retailers decided it is time to update their shops according to the consumer needs. The idea is to get the consumer closer to the brand, and make them feel the brand is a friend. How do they do this? It depends on the brand, and what they want to transmit to the public. But the main principle is to make the store more appealing to the public.
Levi's, the classic American denim brand, recently developed a new concept shop named the neighborhood concept store. The first store was opened in Meatpacking District, New York, in 2010. This month, Levi's brought this new concept to Sao Paulo, the fourth in the world, and the first in Latin America. The address chosen was Rua Oscar Freire, one of the most elegant shop destinations in South America. The idea of the store is to offer exclusive products, and to bring the local culture to the store. The shop located on Oscar Freire brings objects and pictures of Sao Paulo. Of course, to not lose the brand's identity, there are some other elements, such as an American flag, and classic Levi's denim, that remember consumer they are at a Levi's store. The place is also called neighborhood concept because its sales associates are trained to give information about restaurants, cafes, theaters, and other places to go in the neighborhood. The idea of the store came after a research that showed consumers who do not live in the area frequently ask sales people about touristic spots close by. This research was conducted in many world capitals, including New York. Besides New York and São Paulo, Levi's has a shop in San Francisco and another one in Malibu.

Mad Hatter and His Boho Boutique
Sao Paulo is not only about high-end boutiques and luxury shopping malls. It is also an excellent place to find creative people and emerging talents. The best neighborhood to find those people is certainly Vila Madalena. Vila Madalena is located in the west side of the city. It is a kind of Williamsburg of New York, but in Sao Paulo. While walking on the streets in Vila Madalena, I found a very cute boutique. The outside of the store looks like a vintage store, but the inside is full of hats. The most interesting thing is the hats are not like every other hat. Vintage inspired, they come in colorful and fun prints with a Brazilian touch. Most of them mix different types of prints very characteristic from Brazil, like Rio de Janeiro sidewalk's pattern. It's funny to find such a thing because Brazilians do not wear hats very often. You might see some people wearing them on the beach, but it is not very common to see hats all the time in the city, even during sunny days. But this practice is changing with the numerous global influences in the country brought by young immigrants from the north hemisphere.
E-Holic (the name of the store) was developed by the designer Durval Sampaio, who was born in Sao Paulo, and raised in a small town called Maripora. The designer decided to start making hats after developing a special hat just to go to a party. He said he had problem to find hats because his had was too big, so he decided to make his own one. His hat became a success among his friends, and later he saw himself making hats to sell. He thus found his passion for sewing, and decided to quit his job. Few years later, Durval consolidated his name in the indie fashion scene in São Paulo, and opened his first store. His philosophy "do what you love" became the slogan of his brand to inspire other people to do what he did.
If you are planning to come to Sao Paulo or you are in Sao Paulo, I strongly recommend you to visit Vila Madalena and check out his store. I will after give some other tips about this amazing neighborhood for art, culture, and indie fashion.

Step Inside VOGUE Fashion Night Out BRAZIL
Fashion Night Out Brazil was my first FNO outside New York. It was held on September 12th in São Paulo, and September 13th in Rio de Janeiro. Newardrobe is right now in Brazil, and went to check out what was going on in one of the most famous e luxurious address in São Paulo, Rua Oscar Freire. Rua Oscar Freire is like the Fifth Avenue in São Paulo, expect the fact it is a street and not an avenue. Like Fifth Avenue, the street is full of flagship stores, and many high-end labels like Dior are located on crosscut streets: Bela Cintra and Haddock Lobo. The overall area is called Jardins – which means gardens. This is one of the best parts of the city to walk outdoors. São Paulo is city where everyone drives. It is very pleasant to have the opportunity to walk around in Jardins because it is a quite unique experience in the city.
FNO São Paulo was held in many different locations in the city, but all of them were situated very far from each other. So, it was impossible to walk around throughout the city like in New York. The main locations were Jardins, Shopping Iguatemi, Shopping Cidade Jardim – two luxurious malls - and Daslu – the only high-end department store in the country very similar to Bergdorf Goodman. Jardins was my favorite location to go, as I prefer to stay outdoors. Plus, the weather was relatively nice to walk around.
Brazil is a place with a growing fashion culture, and São Paulo is where fashionistas want to be. It has been one of the favorite addresses to new luxurious stores. Chanel, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Hermes, Missoni, Jimmy Choo, Kate Spade New York, Christian Louboutin, Diane von Furstenberg, among many others are examples of stores that opened in the country in the last few years. Luxurious merchandise seems to have a higher mark-up, but this is not a problem for Brazilian customers, especially because they can finance the full price amount in their credit cards to pay in a monthly basis. They want to have the latest Chanel bag, the most expensive Zegna suit, the most exclusive Hermes Birkin bag, and the coolest Marc Jacobs outfit. Money is not a problem in an emerging economy, especially because new money individuals do no think about saving. They want to show what they can get. Fashion is quite limited to the elite. Fast-fashion stores widespread in the north-hemisphere like H&M, Forever 21, and Top Shop are not in Brazil because these companies cannot enter in the country with competitive prices due to the high taxation. The Brazilian fast-fashion market is limited to companies like C&A, Renner, and Riachuelo. C&A has been the one transforming the fast-fashion scenario in Brazil. Still, the Brazilian customer is not very receptive with less expensive fashion goods.
Anyhow, FNO Brazil was not only about the international luxurious labels. Local fashion labels were also getting their slices in the event. FNO was more like a party with drinks, music and some snacks. A few stores had special gifts, but I haven't seen any store offering a special item made for FNO. Only the event T-shirt designed by Hering –a local fashion company - were available at the stores for about BR$80 (US$50). Stores were opened until midnight, but the traffic was quite slow. It was not generating more sales for sure. The event, however, was great for fun, and for the goodwill of the brands that stayed opened until late at night. The small boutiques Anunciação, Têca and Helo Rocha, and Garoa called my attention for their unique and chic Brazilian collections. Their staff and designers were also very nice. I will talk more about them another day.
On the streets, Newardrobe chose the coolest looks in Jardins for FNO Brazil. There were some fashionable Brazilians, and even a few New Yorkers jumping from one store to another. Most of Brazilians like to dress-up to shop, and women like to get their hair and nails always done. Here is the land of Brazilian straightening, so long and straight hair is like a uniform. It is wintertime, and the most common outfit is: high boots, leather jackets, jeans, and a nice designer bag. Of course, not everyone were dressed like that, but there is one thing I can tell about Paulistas – Brazilians born in São Paulo – they all have excellent taste to dress.
***Thank you everyone on the streets. You guys were awesome! Obrigada!! :)

Lucia Blanco Barcelona
After a long trip doing many fashion researches in Europe, I am back here with many fabulous founds to share with all of you. Here is my second stop in Barcelona, and certainly a must stop shopping for fashionistas:
Meet Lucia Blanco:
While walking on the streets of El Born, in Barcelona - a neighborhood known for its emerging artists and designers, and one of the "coolest" areas of the city - I found a small boutique of the cutting-edge designer Lucia Blanco. The designer has minimalistic pieces that play with geometric forms and volume. She uses neutral colors and she loves to bring inspiration from nature. Her creations combine art with fashion through sophisticated silhouettes and natural fibers. The Argentinian born designer uses techniques similar to origami and works with fabric like it is paper. Her work is impressive.
Lucia Blanco started her career attending a fashion school in Buenos Aires. After her graduation and before launching her own brand, she worked as a designers and a product manager of a well-known Argentinian label. In the beginning of her career, she was also a stylist at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires. The talent of this young designer has been granted since the beginning. Her boutique that I had the pleasure to visit in Barcelona was opened in 2005, only one year after presenting her first collection at the Pasarela Gaudi - the fashion week of Barcelona. Today, she presents her collection in Barcelona and in Buenos Aires. Her office and showroom is currently based in Barcelona.

I feel better! We've been waiting to hear about a death in our family, so we've all been under stress and not sleeping well. I thought last night I'd take some Melatonein to help me sleep, and boy! was that a mistake! I don't watch horror movies, but I was stuck in a scary zombie apocolypse movie! It was so real I woke up convinced that the girl who had been chasing me was still looking down on me! It took me two hours and a lot of prayer to go back to sleep! When I finally did, I had better dreams, but I won't be taking that again!posted 03/25/2012 by andcowles
I am 10 weeks pregnant with my second child. I have only had one nightmare, but it really shook me up and it makes me worry everytime I think about it. In my dream I was 7 months pregnant and I went into labor, and my baby was delivered stillborn. The doctor also found another baby inside of me but it was only a few weeks old, and that one was also dead.And that's when I woke up crying and shaking. Now that I see that I'm not the only one dreaming about death, I think I can rest a bit easier! Thank you all for sharing:)posted 03/19/2012 by snowbubble08
What I find very strange about dreams is that I have 'de ja vue' dreams. I'll dream of something. Then later in a couple months from that dream, I"ll live it and say "Holy crap I feel like I've been here before?" I started logging my dreams and CRAZY SIMILAR things have happened to me in certain dreams. What scares me is that I had a dream last night that my father got into a car accident and I didn't even get to say Goodbye when he left the house before the accident. When it was his funeral, I opened the coffin and he was alive. He acted so much different though. I called him to tell him the dream (he's a psychologist, I figured he could help me figure out what it meant), and he explained to me that even though later in the dream he was alive, that it was a feeling of complete loss of control, freedom and then a rebirth of a new freedom and control with child rearing. I'm giving up freedom of my daily routine to rebirth it for a new child routine that will be really different.posted 03/01/2012 by josiebarry
I am 11 weeks pregnant. About two weeks ago, before my first ultrasound I had an extremely disturbing nightmare. Before pregnancy, I rarely remembered my dreams, let alone any nightmares. The nightmare two weeks ago involved people kidnapping me and wanting to eat me because my flesh was better because I was pregnant. The people in the dream said that The nightmare was so real, I woke up crying histerically. I stayed up for about 1/2 hour because I didn't want to fall back into that nightmare.posted 02/28/2012 by wandaful30
I feel better too. I've been having really vivid dreams a lot of them too. Some are nice but most are bad. The cheating boyfriend ( I wake up mad at him knowing its a dream ha! ). Trying to protect my baby, which I'm pregnant so imagine how scary that is. And the weirdest of all being with a pack of women trying to survive from killer zombies. And I did survive lol.posted 02/24/2012 by TQM:)0911
I'm sorry to say thi,but i'm very happy to hear i'm not going through a wierd emotional state. I have been having nightmares almost every night for the past week and a half. I wake up to afraid to be home alone. The first one I had I will never forget, I gave birth way to early,but the baby was fine. My baby, however, was taken a killed. I then set out to find the man how did it, but he was a rich man and turned me into an outlaw. So not only was I trying to find this man but people were after me! I finial found him and i was sitting at a table with him and i was forced to watch him eat my baby in a soup.I was a fraid to sleep after that night. I think your fears have a way of enlarging them selfs into something barely related and night time is when they come to life I just want to sayyour not alone and good luck to everyone.posted 02/10/2012 by littlebranbran

Am glad that am not alone in this, i always dream about snakes and after that never able to go back to sleep. I agree, having nightmares should be added to the list of signs of pregnancy, lol.posted 01/05/2012 by Ellentino
I thought I was just watching too much tv or had a lot of stress and didnt realize it. This is my first pregnancy and I am about 2 months along. I haven't gotten a full nights sleep yet. I wake up constantly throughout the night from nightmares of death, destruction, kidnappings, and a lot of crazy things.posted 12/26/2011 by sprkster2012
Ive been having crazy dreams as well, a friend of mines told me about a book called the book of dreams which tells u the meaning of your dreams from, cheating partners, deaths, fighting ect........... i believe before we go to sleep what ever was on our minds that is what we dream about!posted 12/21/2011 by lilmama2nd2none
