Beautiful Rug
Beautiful rug that definitely needs to be well taken care of. There are lots of fuzz balls that pop up and you cannot use a traditional vacuum. I used a pinterest trick and get rid of the extra fuzz by using a squeegee. Sounds weird, but it works. The rug, itself, is gorgeous and the perfect accent piece for my living room!Read More
This rug is beautiful and I got lots of compliments but I had to return it. It has been shedding for over a month! I vacuum it 4 times a week and each time it completely fills the vacuum. My eight month old daughter crawls on it and she is completely covered in hairs. Not a good rug for daily use.Read More
Nice wool rug
First time to order from overstock. Overall very pleased with rug, color, size, etc. It doesn't shed as much as some reviews had mentioned.Read More
Living area rug
I was and am disappointed with this purchase much as it still keeps shedding in loads even after 5 months of purchase. I would not have made this purchase had I known earlier!Read More
Beautiful, but WAY too much maintenance required!
Besides the fact that this carpet almost took 2 months to get to me, once it got here, I was so excited, I did not want to go into a process of returning it and getting another since it took nearly 2 months to arrive in the first place. When I first received this rug and laid it down in the living room it looked perfect, but living with it is a whole different story. It sheds too much and gets everywhere, on the furniture, on the wood floors, I have to vacuum and swiffer practically every 2-3 days to prevent my allergies from flaring up. The carpet shedding gets into my bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and whole apartment. If you wear socks, all the wool sticks to your socks and then you track all of the pieces into your bedroom, kitchen, etc. I have to be very careful not to lay on, roll around, or even step on the wool part of the carpet. Forget it if you have kids. My nieces slept over once and the pieces got into their hair, on all of their clothes...it was a complete mess and very difficult to wash out of their hair. DO NOT get this carpet. I would not recommend it. Get a different brand or an all wool version...real wool. I have a feeling this wool is not authentic.Read More
Not good with a dog!
The rug came quickly and looked great when I unrolled it. It was exactly what I wanted for my family room - the problem is we have a large dog and since I started using the rug 6 months ago have had several loops pull out and in one case an entire row. The quality seems good, I just think this type of rug is bad with animals. Another thing I didn't know is you are never to use vacuum cleaners with a beater brush on a hooked rug - live and learn! I'm moving it up to the guest room....Read More
This was my FIRST online purchase, and I am so happy the rug arrived looking and feeling exactly as I'd imagined! I've been shopping for a grey trellis rug for months, with this exact measurements (8x10 or slightly larger), and was hoping to spend less than $700 - it was no where to be found in the stores. I found a similar rug at Pottery Barn for $849, it was on back-order, and I would have had to wait 4 - 5 months. A friend suggested overstock.com. I've never shopped online and was hesitant. I'm so happy I took the chance! What a deal!!!Read More
labeled wrong color
I loved the rug but it was definitely blue, not grey like I expected so I returned the rug. I loved the pattern and everything about the rug other than the color.Read More
Beautiful! Makes such an impact in my family room!
I got this rug for a great deal - on sale with an additional 15% off, so I bought a larger size than I was originally planning on and am so glad I did. It fills up my family room and makes such a statement that pulls the whole room together! I was a little nervous at first since the rug was a little scratchy and shed a TON! It literally filled up the canister of my Dyson three times and continued to shed even after. I've had the rug for a few weeks and the shed and tapered off considerably and I think it's just the matter of a few more runs with the vacuum before it stops. The rug looks so much more expensive than it is and I am so glad I got it from overstock. Fast, cheap shipping and excellent customer service~! I am always so pleased.Read More
Questions & Answers
pattern, color and price
In the navy rug, is the trellis white or beige? Thanks Cindy
Hello Craley, the color appears to be more white in my opinion for the navy. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.
For some reason I can't seem to find the 'Light Green' color-tab to click on for this size {8'6" x 11'6"}? I have been waiting for this rug in that color to go on sale for a long time ---- It's labeled on all the other sizes and price-marks for this same rug, so why not this one? Thanks, Tina
Hello Tina V., we do apologize, we are currently out of stock in the Green at this time. Thank you for shopping with us.
In the navy and beige rug is the beige raised? Also people said it sheds a lot - Marie
Hello nana, we appreciate your inquiry. Yes, the trellis accent is slightly raised. It is made of wool, therefore, will shed initially. However, with regular vacuuming the shedding will diminish considerably. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us!
Wool is a long lasting rug, and the shedding becomes minimal as you vacuuming. The company is telling the truth!:) If you can take one week and vac. either every day, or every other... you won't be bothered anymore. Otherwise, it only takes a few vacuums (with a good vac) and you'll have a rug that should last a long time. If the edge get's into the vac rollers then you will have a fraid rug. So carefuly while you are getting the wool sheeding down, Then I recommend a hand vac for quick pick ups and reg. vacuums, then use you big one on once a month. Somehow, the edges and the vacuum really gravitate and like each other.
Is the beige in the Navy raised or flat? Does it always shed Thank you Marie
Hello nana, the pattern is not raised, this is a nice thick, soft rug. There is some shedding initially, but that will diminish over time. Thanks for shopping with us!
Is the Khaki a taupe colour? I am looking for a gray/ taupe and the Khaki in the picture suggests it is closer to a taupe?
Hello Hellsbells, taupe and khaki are very similar in coloring. Thank you for shopping with us.
One of the reviewers mentioned that the rug could not be vacuumed. Please describe how the rug should be cared for and if it is suitable for high traffic areas.
Hello tpat102, you can not use vacuum cleaners with a beater brush on it, it is suitable for high traffic areas. Have a great day!
Has the Aqua been renamed ivory/turquoise?
Hello Question, we apologize for the confusion. The Aqua has been renamed to ivory/turquoise. Thank you for shopping with us!
Is this rug soft or scratchy?
Hello Debree, this rug has a soft underfoot. Thanks for shopping with us!
What is the contrasting color on the yellow rug?
Hello Tata22, the contrasting color is ivory. Have a great day!
Did the blue/grey color used to be called charcoal? Did the color change?
Hello snoobs, the blue/grey has not been renamed. Thanks for shopping with us!
Can this rug be folded? In other terms, does the rug have a backing? In order to receive it where I am stationed, it needs to be folded vice rolled. Thank you
Hello Hofflt, this rug will have a stiff cotton canvas backing and it will need to be rolled. Thank you for shopping with us. TB
How does this rug ship? Is it rolled or folded when it arrives?
Hello Hofflt, this rug will be rolled and wrapped in plastic. Thank you for shopping with us! TB
Does this size come in khaki? It is not option when I go to checkout. Thanks
Hello molly2419, unfortunately, the khaki color is out of stock. Items are restocked as they become available, however we cannot guarantee the item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us. A.S.
What is the pile height for this rug?
Hello nicoleufl, the pile height is 0.50 inches. Thank you for shopping with us! a.c.
For the Blue Grey option, is the trellis lines grey? Or is the main color of the rug a bluish grey with the white trellis lines?
Hello amandaam, the lines are white on that version. Thanks for shopping with us!
Why is this rug not showing availability in the light green color? That is the color I want in this size.
Hello, austinmommy2three, unfortunately, that option is currently out of stock. Thank you for shopping with us. T.D.
I saw a review mentioned the khaki rug appears more grey. Do you have any additional images? Have you had any additional reviews/returns because of color?
Hello lv2cr8, This rug is beautiful! I have confirmed with our Support Team that the khaki does not look grey, it is definitely in the brown family. Due to the difference of monitor colors, some rug colors may vary slightly. We try to represent all rug colors accurately. Please refer to the text above for a description of the colors shown in the photo. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Does this rug contain any latex?
Hello shells5221, This rug is so beautiful! No, this rug does not contain any latex. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
Can you clarify the colors in the 'Natural'? in one view the background looks a bit yellow and there is no indication what the contrasting dark color is. Thank you
Hello nunsense13, we appreciate your inquiry. The natural is an a creamy ivory with brown accents. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!

Unleash the Beast within . . . Get Ferocious!
If you can handle a huge hop slap in the face, then pour a pint of our Ferocious IPA. Crafted in collusion with Minnesota's own Surly Brewing Co, this brash IPA uses 6 ounces of awesome hops for a bold brew that's barely balanced by a backdrop of toasty, caramel-y malt. It's a fizzy yellow beer drinkers worst nightmare, a hopheads dream, and a smooth full bodied brew so full of flavor you'll wish you'd have brewed more!
Bold hoppy flavor and aroma

Hands Down the Best Beer I've Ever Made!
Review by Ryan
(Posted on 4/17/15)
As the title claims, this is in fact the best beer that I've ever made! I've been brewing to close to 3 years and love every minute of the process. When I first took my first leap into All-grain, I picked this kit first and man was it the best choice I'd ever made! The crisp hop flavor is very well balanced with earthy citrus and a hint of pine just to spice it up and balance. Then the aroma! Oh man... the Ahtanum that you throw in is divine, twisted in with a burst of Amarillo and Simcoe... just perfect. I'm so happy with this one! So happy, I just finished transferring my second batch of this recipe. If you are a hop head and enjoy anything from Bissell Brothers or Maine Beer Co. Lunch IPA, this is a great brewing alternative. Get it!
Perfection in a box.
Review by QuadConPana
(Posted on 4/6/15)
I live in Florida, where Surly beers are typically unavailable. When a friend got us some Furious, I decided to give this kit a try. I'm relatively new at this hobby. This was probably my eighth batch of beer, and this is the first thing I've ever brewed that I wanted to drink just because of how good it was rather than because of the "I made this myself" effect.
When you reach for your homebrew when there are Hopslams, Doublewides, and Jai Alai's in your fridge, you know it's a good kit.
Outstanding IPA
Review by DGM
(Posted on 3/22/15)
This one is earning rave reviews from friends and neighbors alike! Great hop presence but well balanced all the way through. Many thanks to Surly Brewing for make this excellent brew available to all of us!
Awesome Recipe
Review by CC
(Posted on 12/2/14)
Just wanted to chime in to say not only was this fun to brew but really tastes pretty awesome! This is my 4th beer I have brewed(extract). Will buy again. Eventually going to step up my game and get into all grain :)
An "In your face" beer
Review by Allen
(Posted on 11/1/14)
Very strong wonderful hop aroma. A bit too bitter taste-wise but the aroma is worth it lol. Will sneak up on you after 3-4 bombers. Great beer but a bit bold for my liking. Hop heads will love it.
Great IPA
Review by Mike
(Posted on 10/25/14)
This is a great IPA. It is not too hoppy but has enough flavor to be very enjoyable. I kept it in the primary fermenter for about 12 days then racked it to a secondary carboy and kept it in the secondary for about 2 weeks. I tired one bottle after about a week and the taste was great!! I will probably leave it alone for another week or two before sharing with friends and family. Overall Great IPA!!
Ferociously Awesome!
Review by Jerry Bishop
(Posted on 10/11/14)
I'm a Hop-Head and brew a lot of IPAs and Pale Ales, both all grain and extract. This kit is simply awesome. Very straight forward but turns out great. Balance is the key for me and this kit is just that. Great hop aroma, bitterness and flavor, but well balanced with a roasted malt backbone and a hint of sweetness in the finish. Do yourself a favor and try this!
What a great IPA!!!
Review by Andrew
(Posted on 9/9/14)
Excellent IPA. Got this and hop head while they were buy one get one half off I think. I added 12 ounces of cane sugar to bump up the abv, and added some hop additions and this thing came out great. 7.7 abv and 73 IBU. Will brew this one again..
4th of July
Review by Tim
(Posted on 7/8/14)
Made this one for the 4th and everybody loved it so much they wanted me to bring a larger amount for the 5th! These are also people who typically drink things like Coors light and Miller 64, (both were in the fridge) so it definitely made a good impression. Great smell and flavor, very citrusy. Sweet but with a little kick of bitterness at the end. Red in color and not heavy even though its higher gravity. I'm buying this again today even though I'm not out yet! I know there are a lot of 5 star ratings on here, but this one definitely deserves it!

Excellent Deposit Safe - easy to set code Julie from Katy, TX on 09/15/2015 – Verified Buyer
We purchased this for our church office, to make it easy for folks to drop checks off in between deposits. It's a perfect size and it is easy to set the code. I was also pleased the there are pre-drilled holes in the bottom (2) and back (2), which I didn't see noted at the time of purchase. This allows us to secure the safe.

Great safe and value! MONICA from Douglasville, GA on 09/26/2015 – Verified Buyer
This safe does exactly what it says it does! It's a great place to store precious items and with the digital keypad, it makes it harder for theives to crack the code. Because it's made of metal as opposed to some hard plastic. It's super strong and sturdy. I definitely recommend this safe! Pros: It's sturdy and does what's it's supposed to do.

As advertised neal from fishers, IN on 05/04/2015 – Verified Buyer
The only regret is that you cant be both key and digital locked its basically EITHER OR. The batteries are in front of the key whole. So you could remove them each time and reset digital code I suppose. But keyhole placement elsewhere would have been nice

just what we needed for our school PTO Amy from Pittsburgh, PA on 10/15/2014 – Verified Buyer
This safe is just what we needed. I am part of the PTO board at our elementary school, and we run all the fundraisers. Money has disappeared on separate occasions, but now, no more worries. The ability to change the pass code is helpful with different fundraising committees.

great home or work safe Brigit from San Francisco, CA on 10/28/2014 – Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
Great safe that isn't super heavy, but can be bolted to any shelf. It has a drop that fits a pretty large envelope. It is easy to program and to open/close. Good value for the price.

When they got to Milan, their bags were not there. They thought it was a scam from the driver, and there was nothing they could do. The police were not interested as they had no travel insurance.

Help for Syrian Refugee
Peace Community Church has sent $1400.00 to the International Council of Community Churches to help provide some relief or Syrian refugees who are fleeing their war torn homeland. The money will be sent in our name to Church World Services to help with their work among those refugees. We realize that the issue has become politicized in Europe and also in America but we can not take sides in that debate. We believe that we should do what we can to help alleviate human suffering, regardless of race, ethnicity, national or religious identity.

Sure the tricks gave them an extra edge but the bread and butter of why they were good is because they were fundamentally good at playing the game of football.

Big crowds for fair, pig racing
The Great Anderson County Fair wrapped up Sunday with another big crowd taking advantage of sunshine and warm temperatures to hear music, eat funnel cakes, climb onto midway rides and watch pigs race.
"This year has been very good," said organizer Ray Bianco. "Yesterday (Saturday) was fantastic and we had big Thursday, too."
Bianco declined to guess Sunday how many people attended the fair this year, but he said the turnout was much better than the rain-soaked 2013 version.
"We did something things differently, too," Bianco said. "We moved our big stage out into the food court area (next to the midway in the Anderson Civic Center parking lot) and that helped the concerts quite a bit ... We're learning. If something works, then fine; if something doesn't work, we change it."
One popular addition to this year's fair was Rosaire's Royal Racers, the racing pigs from Sarasota, Fla. The races were free to watch, but anyone needing action because they were at a track (of sorts) could buy $1 betting slips to be redeemed for prizes if they correctly picked which pigs would win, place and/or show.
Kids dragged parents and grandparents to the racetrack — a 190-foot oval named Pork Chop Farms — and the adults wound up cheering louder than the kids when the porkie competitors rumbled by stands.
Wayne Rosaire, 52, sort of drifted into a life of pig racing. He grew up in England and followed his dad, David, into the circus business, becoming the seventh generation of Rosaires to work under English and European big tops. Animals acts have always been a specialty. The family brought their animals to Las Vegas in 1974, then to Reno in 1979, doing extended engagements for the new MGM hotels that opened in those cities.
Wayne struck out on his own in the mid-80s, taking over the pig racing business from an old employer's family. His was one of "three or four" businesses in the U.S. to stage pig races.
"I thought it would run maybe five years and fall away, but it never has," Wayne said.
The business has swelled to a few dozen companies today that offer pig races at festivals, county fairs and the like. The extra competition doesn't faze Rosaire in the slightest.
"I've got 23 shows planned for this year," Wayne said after Sunday's first race. "We used to travel all over — East, West, North and South — but now, with the fuel being what it is and things the way there are, I've had a real good run up and down the East Coast here for the last 15 years. The miles are shorter; I'm making the same money, but we get to keep more of it because we don't travel as far and have to pay for all that fuel."
Pamela Rosaire, 22, grew up on the road with her family. She still works for her dad, Wayne, but has in recent years started carving out her own niche. She said she was a bit afraid of the big, horn-honking clowns caked with makeup she encountered as a child, and imagined that engaging scared kids more on their terms might warm them up to clowns. Over the last few years, Ditsy! the glamorous clown has grown into a genteel, but fun, clown. She putters around events in a miniature Volkswagen Beetle pulling a miniature trailer full of balloons, face paints and other activities for young children. Pamela travels much of the year with Wayne and the family and helps out with the pig racing, but her fan base keeps growing and she is getting more and more solo bookings.
The family's other companions on the road 10 months each year are much better behaved than one might imagine.
"Pigs are great if you raise them up right," said Wayne, who blamed negligent owners for the overpowering smell of pig waste that usually emanates from crowded pens and farms. "They are very smart and are as clean as you keep them."
Wayne Rosaire said he loves his business and wouldn't dream of doing anything else.
"I raised my family on it and bought my house with it, so it's been good to me," Wayne said

At the outset, "Breakfast with Curtis" looks pretty rote. It's a coming-of-age story in which the title character (Jonah Parker), an awkward, home-schooled 14 year-old, grows up by becoming more confident, and socially aware. Thankfully, "Breakfast with Curtis" is much better than that sounds. It's a lived-in, unsentimental comedy about a community of smug but sympathetic intellectuals that, by film's end, becomes a little better-integrated.
"Breakfast with Curtis" is more about ambience than narrative progress, so if you don't like these kinds of characters (ie: hippy-dippy aesthetes), the film will drive you up a wall. But even if you don't immediately like the film's protagonists, you'll grow to like them. On a warm summer day, Curtis's neighbors drink red wine, dig holes in the backyard, play ping-pong, write, read, and "think mundane thoughts," as landlady Sadie (Yvonne Parker) wonders aloud. "Curtis" is exclusively populated by people that live in their heads. They define themselves by the book on their shelves, have taste enough to listen to Brian Eno's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy," and post Emily Dickinson aphorisms on their bedroom doors ("I dwell in Possibility, a fairer house than Prose."). Curtis's pubescent awakening makes sense in the midst of these amenable snobs. So while the conclusion that writer/director Laura Colella arrives at is predictable, the way she lets her characters get there is sweet, and totally charming.
Avoiding declamatory dialogue, "Breakfast with Curtis" explains a lot about its characters through their actions. For example, at this point in his early life, Curtis is trapped in his gangly body. He's too old to not look awkward when he day-dreams. But he needs time to space out since he is, at first, a personality-less void. When he jostles around in bed, you get the sense that Curtis doesn't really think much of anything. And when he plays the piano, he has prodigious muscle memory, and hits all the keys with admirable technique. But his playing isn't passionate, probably because Curtis is 14 years old. Enter Syd (Theo Green, in his tremendous debut), the book-selling raconteur and layabout next-door. Syd asks Curtis to help him film some YouTube videos of wherein he rambles about all and sundry: the weather, his favorite bar, memories of great books, and greater people.
Syd's presence is exactly what Curtis needs to grow up. He's emblematic of the kind of people you'll meet in "Breakfast with Curtis." Being a self-involved creative type, Syd thinks he's fascinating. He lazily hits on Sylvie (Virginia Laffey), his pot-head neighbor/factotum Frenchy's (Aaron Jungles) girlfriend, and infrequently orates to himself, as if he were giving a guest-lecture about life, and the universe. His monologues are what Quentin Tarantino's introductions for Rolling Thunder, Tarantino's cult film-distribution line, might have been like if they were about Proustian reminiscences instead of "Switchblade Sisters." Syd's quick-tempered, and often affects a theatrical accent (you should hear Green say "ex-traor-di-nary"). He's insufferable, and endearing, too.
Instead of having a straight-forward plot, Colella's film is comprised of a series of successive episodes. Over time, protagonists become more, though thankfully not completely, comfortable in each other's company. It's telling that the scene where Curtis's believably uptight dad Simon (David A. Parker) bonds with Syd, and his friends is a scene where Simon spontaneously composes and performs a jokey song about Syd's "dingley-dangley" penis. When everyone, especially Syd, laughs, it's one sign among many of how comfortable Colella is in her film's milieu. She knows exactly when to use an extreme close-up (sparingly!), and the importance of letting her characters reveal themselves through little gestures. In fact, while "Breakfast with Curtis" is weakest when Colella has to prove that her characters have changed over the course of the film, the film is otherwise consummately relaxed. "Breakfast with "Curtis" is believably generous where most coming-of-age stories are unbelievable. It doesn't try too hard to impress you with its candor: it's just naturally likable.

Rockfax DescriptionGood fun and almost a sport route at about 6b if you clip gear on the previous route. Climb the groove past some threadable pockets and the remains of the old pint-pot handle hold, to blanker rock. Press on up this to join The Spider. Finish up this or lower off. © ROCKFAX
UKC Logbook DescriptionStrip back any new growth on the ivy as you go past as it can hide a foothold which makes getting across to the jug handle a fair bit easier!
Wasn't entirely sure where to go so went out right to the peg on the ar�te of the cave, got a purple friend in a pocket above and traversed across to the jug handle on 2-3 finger pockets and very poor feet. Not much of a rest at the jug handle so moved up from there to a sort of rest below the slight bulge. Decisive moves through that saw me to the top, just about - came close to getting a bit desperate! A good route which packs a punch. Thought it was a hard E3 5c. Jon said he'd done it before on someone else's gear and it felt F6b. I said he must have been going well! This is not a sport route (the threads alone would make for a very bold route and they all need replacing anyway), nor is it F6b - more like F6c! Lowering off I stripped off some of the ivy, which revealed a couple of footholds below the jug handle, which would have made life a lot easier! There might be a more direct way to get to the jug handle but Jon did the same as me and it was solid at the grade. Have backed up the upper lower off with 6mm cord but would be good to get a rope on it. The first lower off you get to is total mank, should have cut it down.Misha - Lead O/S - 04/May/15 with Jon
Blimey. First route of the season, sketched my way up this getting very flash pumped in the process! The hard climbing is very intense with poor feet around the 'jug handle'.

When you're hanging out with Scotty Lago, you find that you spend a good portion of your time laughing.

Film: The First Wives Club
Don't get angry. Get everything.The First Wives Club is a 1996 comedy, directed by Hugh Wilson. It features a trio of middle-aged women teaming up against their estranged husbands and their current lovers.The film starts in 1969, with a graduation day at Middlebury College, Vermont. Among the graduating class are four close friends Elise Elliot (Goldie Hawn), Cynthia Griffin (Stockard Channing), Annie Mac Duggan (Diane Keaton), and Brenda Morelli (Bette Midler). Cynthia makes them all promise that they "will always be there for each other throughout the remainder of their lives." The scene then switches to the 1990s. The promise has not been kept as they have all lost touch with each other. Cynthia is an affluent but lonely and depressed woman. Her husband has just divorced her for a younger woman. She takes care of some final arrangements and then commits suicide.The story proceeds with what has happened to the other three ladies. Elise had become a successful actress, even winning an Oscar once. But as she entered middle-age, her career has declined to playing in B movies, and then mostly cast as the "mother" of various leading ladies. Her husband Bill Atchison (Victor Garber) became a major film producer due to her contacts, but has now divorced her and moved on to starlet Phoebe LaVelle (Elizabeth Berkley), and he and Elise are involved in a legal battle over their joint assets.Annie has not faired much better. She married Aaron Paradis, CEO of an advertising agency, and has spend many years as a housewife. Aaron has recently left her for their therapist, Dr. Leslie Rosen (Marcia Gay Harden) - a therapist who was already overseeing Annie's considerable self-esteem problems. Brenda is even worse. She helped set up her husband Morton 'Morty' Cushman as an electronics tycoon, only for him to trick her into signing away any claim to his assets and then leave her for his 'executive assistant', young Shelly Stewart (Sarah Jessica Parker).When Cynthia's last message reaches them, the trio reconnect and, inspired by the ways in which each of them has been wronged by their ex-husbands, form the First Wives Club and set out to get their own back and take revenge. With the willing assistance of Annie's lesbian daughter Chris Paradis (Jennifer Dundas), aspiring designer Duarto (Bronson Pinchot), and society leader Gunilla Garson Goldberg (Maggie Smith), they have little trouble finding weaknesses in their former husbands' respective armors... particularly when they find that Phoebe LaVelle is only 16-year-old and Bill can be arrested for statutory rape.The film had little precedent and was not expected to be particularly successful. Instead it turned to a surprise commercial hit, gaining $181,489,203 in the international market. With $105,489,203 from the United States market alone, it was the 11th most successful film of its year. It gained cult status among middle-aged women, an audience mostly ignored at the time. It helped revitalize the careers of all three leading actresses, becoming their biggest hit in the decade. Discussions for a sequel resulted in Development Hell for a decade. By 2006, all three actresses considered the prospects for a second film to be rather slim.A musical Screen-to-Stage Adaptation with a book by Rupert Holmes and songs by the Motown team of Holland-Dozier-Holland ran for several weeks in San Diego in 2009 in what was hyped as a pre-Broadway engagement, but that fell into Development Hell. A new version of the show (with a different book writer, director, and choreographer attached) is set to attempt its own pre-Broadway tryout in Chicago come 2015.
Ivana Trump
This film provides examples of:
- The Alcoholic: Elise.Elise: I drink because I am a sensitive and highly-strung person.Brenda: No, that's why your co-stars drink.
- Artistic Title: The film uses a series of 1960s-style images of women, along with a song about being the perfect wife.
- Auction: To resolve her legal issues with Bill, Elise agrees to sell her extensive collection of furniture, artwork, and other valuables (including Bill's Lamborghini convertible) and split the profits equally with him. She proceeds to sell the whole mess to Annie for $1, and Annie auctions everything off with Duarto and Gunilla encouraging Shelly to buy as much as possible with Morty's money. At the end of the film, the three women use the profits from the auction to found a shelter for victims of domestic abuse.
- Bitch Alert: Shelly Stewart.
- Beauty Is Bad: While the titular characters are hardly unattractive, much is made of the fact that they're being dumped by their husbands for younger, prettier women. Of the three, Shelly is depicted as a catty social climber, Phoebe as a ditz, and Leslie has betrayed her professional obligations as Annie's therapist by sleeping with her husband.
- Broken Aesop: When Shelly taunts Brenda about her weight, it's rightfully seen as incredibly cruel, but only minutes earlier, no one batted an eye when Brenda snarked "the bulimia has certainly paid off" in reference to Shelly's slimness. In fact, Brenda makes similar comments throughout the movie about slim women in general such as "anorexic fetus", etc, all of which are presented as amusing. So to clarify - teasing overweight/average weight people about being fat? Despicable. Jokes about a potentially deadly eating disorder that millions of people struggle with? Perfectly acceptable.
- Butch Lesbian: Most, if not all, of the women in the gay bar scene.
- Completely Different Title: In German, the film has the title "Der Club der Teufelinnen" - "The Club of the She-Devils".
- Cool Uncle: Uncle Carmine is pretty this to Brenda.
- Dead Star Walking: Stockard Channing as Cynthia Griffin.
- Demoted to Extra: Cynthia's husband and his new wife have basically one scene in the movie.
- Deadpan Snarker: Brenda, so much.
- Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: After being dumped for younger women, the titular characters spend the movie making their exes miserable ruining job opportunities, blackmail, and hurling verbal abuse at them and their new girlfriends (and most younger women in general). One even has her husband kidnapped. On the other hand, considering that in two cases the women were critical in the men's successes in the first place only to be tossed aside once later and the third is a horrible breach of ethical professional practice, it may also be viewed as a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
- Drowning My Sorrows: Elise, after aiming for the lead role in a film and instead being offered the role of the lead's "grotesque" mother while the lead role goes to Phoebe.
- Four Is Death: The fourth "first wife," Cynthia.
- Gold Digger: Bill is heavily implied to be a male variation of this to Elise, becoming a star from her own ties and then divorcing her and claiming her assets (and being portrayed as thoroughly smug about it). Morty pulls a similar scam, though the ending implies he does have some genuine love for Brenda.
- Lighter and Softer: The movie is a comedy, while the book is a lot more serious, including abuse as a theme.
- Karma Houdini: Other than a quick mention of her break up with Aaron at the end, Dr. Rosen disappears after her second scene and receives no comeuppance (aside from Annie's verbal tear down). In the real world, she would be exposed as a fraud, be hauled in front of the state medical board, and have her license revoked, or at the very least suspended, for sleeping with a patient and contributing to the collapse of his marriage, especially since his spouse was another patient. Annie, who mentions having paid this woman a fortune, also should have sued her into oblivion.
- Kick the Dog: Most of the husbands get at least one to help justify the protagonists taking action against them. Aaron kicks the hardest when he spends a romantic night with Annie, leading her to believe they're reconciling, only to tell her that he wants a divorce.
- Mafia Princess: Brenda. In the book, her connections was a way her husband got her to shut up during the divorce. In the movie, finding out her family helped Morty's business at first was how she got him.
- Oh Crap!: The looks on the husbands' faces when things go bad for them are an hilarious example.
- Power Trio:
- Id: Elise (Impulse-driven, over-dramatic White-Dwarf Starlet)
- Ego: Brenda (Reasonable, frank but blunt)
- Superego: Annie (Conciliatory, calm, emotional)
- Pretty in Mink: The movie has quite a few furs.
- Protagonist-Centered Morality: The sympathy of the narrative is heavily on the side of the protagonists, and their actions - some of which are manipulative and on at least one occasion illegal - are depicted as justified.
- Really Gets Around: Elise. She's on her third marriage and during an argument, Brenda snarks about her sleeping around while they were in college.
- Romantic False Lead: Shelly ends up being this for Morty.
- Smug Snake: Both Bill and Morty have shades of this to get the audience on Brenda and Elise's side. Ironically however it's the more neurotic Aaron that is portrayed as more odious and emotionally manipulative towards Annie (likely because he at least partially believes his own bullshit).
- Starts with a Suicide: Pretty much, other than a brief flashback.
- Trophy Wife: The movie is about women who get dumped, often to be replaced by trophy wives/girlfriends. Phoebe, the ditzy starlet, and Shelly, the catty gold-digger, are the two most prominent examples, helping inspire the women they've replaced to create the club.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Phoebe drops out of the story entirely once it's revealed that she's underage, and we're never shown how she's effected by the abrupt end of her relationship with Bill and, presumably, the loss of the film role that came with it.
- Phoebe is actually in the audience at Elise's play, clapping enthusiastically. Since, unlike the other "other women", she never actually bore any ill will toward Elise and actually idolized her as an actress, one may assume that with Bill out of the picture they've become friends.
- White-Dwarf Starlet: Elise Elliot is on her way to becoming this. She is still recognised by her fans, but her career is fading. She is struggling to get a role and when she finally thinks she will be cast as the star of a new film it turns out the young and hip regisseur wants her as the ugly and grotesque Mother. She has undergone major plastic surgery and is an alcoholic. She drunkenly complains about how Sean Connery is 300 years old and "still a stud," while women in Hollywood have only three ages: "babe, District Attorney, and Driving Miss Daisy." In her apartment she has an entire room filled with her memorabilia, including prizes she won, gifts etc. Fortunately, by the end of the film she's doing much better thanks to Annie and Brenda's intervention and support.
- Where Everybody Knows Your Flame: A rare lesbian example. It's like Babylon on steroids. Of course, they are in Manhattan.

John E. Findling
Arcadia Publishing, 2009 - History - 127 pages
Founded in 1778 as a portage point on the lower Ohio River, Louisville was closely tied to river commerce for a century. In the 1880s, the Southern Exposition and the growth of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad did much to establish the city as an important commercial link between the North and South. By 1900, Louisville was the 18th largest city in America, with a population of just over 200,000. The city had a vibrant downtown with elegant office buildings and hotels and one of the finest park systems in the country, designed by the Olmsted brothers in the 1890s. In Louisville, more than 200 postcards present a visual record of the institutions, prosperity, and charm of the river city.
What people are saying - Write a review
Arcadia's Postcards series offer a nostalgic view of their subjects due to the time frame of vintage cards. John Findling, a retired History professor who taught many years at Indiana University Southeast in nearby New Albany, IN, offers a unique perspective. His large collection of Louisville and area cards, as well as access to the definitive collection of Louis Cohen, has enabled him to present an assortment of cards that are not the run of the mill views of Louisville. His presentation of the cards in a geographical format is unique among the series, yet reflects Louisville and its growth during the period extremely well. Arcadia's series format prevents in depth description text on the cards but Findling makes a good effort in providing background info in the limited space. Highly recommended for any one interested in the Louisville KY area.

California legislates for assisted suicide
The US state of California has legislated for assisted suicide.
Having ""carefully read the thoughtful opposition materials presented by...doctors, religious leaders and those who champion disability rights," Governor Jerry Brown signed off on the controversial AB2X-15 Bill, meaning that assisted suicide will be an option for terminally ill patients from January 2016.
Opponents of the new law have been quick to point out deficiencies in the legislation which, they insist, will ultimately lead to abuses for vulnerable patients.

How the Finnish child-care system supports home-care
The debate about childcare in Ireland is not really a debate at all because, as usual, it is dominated by one side, namely those who want a State-subsidised universal day-care system available to all. To this end, they heavily promote the 'Nordic model'. In doing so, however, they fail to distinguish between different Nordic models.

Smathers & Branson: Needlepoint Belts, Caps & Wallets
About Smathers and Branson
In 2004, while roommates at Bowdoin College, we decided to start a company that offered needlepoint belts. We became intrigued with these unique accessories after our girlfriends made us needlepoint belts as gifts. After looking to buy finished belts, we realized that these products
were impossible to find and prohibitively expensive. We set out to make the belts more available, attractive and affordable. We had always shared the entrepreneurial spirit and having discovered a concept for which we shared a passion, we started working on the idea that has become Smathers & Branson. We knew that our biggest challenge would be finding and training skilled artisans. With our options quickly running out, we decided to spend the fall in Vietnam. Meeting our stitchers face to face enabled us to perfect our product to meet the high standards we set. Without realizing it, we had laid the groundwork for a cottage industry that, within a few years, would employ and provide opportunities for over 2,000 people. As our company continues to grow, we have the satisfaction that our artisan's level of success grows as well. We began testing the market in the spring of 2005, and quickly, the once treasured gift became the epicenter of a thriving business. We now offer products ranging from men's and children's needlepoint belts, to cummerbunds, and dog collars, with a women's line on the horizon. In addition, we can create custom products with unique patterns for schools, clubs, and organizations as well as one of a kind belts and monogrammed products. Smathers & Branson defines their mission: "to offer the finest products with customer service to match." Thank you to our customers and stores for your continuing support! --Peter & Austin

Hello my name is Diego Hernández De la Rocha (although Diego De la Rocha is less of a mouthful - barely), very nice to meet you, thanks for visiting my Vimeo profile, I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself, but where to start? Well..I've traveled around the world, bungee jumped, ridden camels, lived in a 2x2 room in Tokyo, eaten the craziest dishes you can think of and met people whose lives should be turned into movies.
Apart from that I'm also an ice-hockey goalie, speak 5 different languages (and know a couple of words in another 10). I love doing all of those things and plan to add many more to the list but if you were to ask me what I love the most, I'd say it is to stand up… Yup that's right, stand up for hours and hours, doing nothing but animating, pencil and paper, computer or hell..whatever you throw at me. I can't help it, it's just irresistible, I mean a beautifully crafted story and a captivating character, what more can you possibly need?
Love & Happiness to you!
