Farewell to Crete
The first few days back in Elounda were an opportunity to relax, and on Thursday we spent the day by the beach, Friday by the pool. Friday evening we jumped on the bus to Agios Nikolaos to meet Laura and her girlfriend for drinks, dinner and then some more drinks and was our only late night 'party night' of the whole three weeks. Afraid of the boredom setting in we arranged to hire a car for Sunday and Monday and booked a nights accommodation on Sunday on the ...

Neither of us particularly enjoyed the TERRIFYING sudden landing - it was a flying truck, but Keith soon got over it and slept through the ninety minute bus journey to Agios Nikolaos where we now wait for the bus to ...
Spinalonga & on
We ventured to Spinalonga on Thursday which has a varied history most recently as a Leper colony from 1903 to 1957. Whilst there is evidence of more than 500 years worth of settlements on the islet, it is the more recent communities that leave you with a overwhelming sense of sadness. The graveyard of those who did not survive their expulsion is particularly striking. That said, there is also evidence of ...

And we all thought it was hilarious to be eating Dutch food in Greece. Today we're headed to the ruins of Knossos, which was an ancient Minoan settlement and is also where ...

Claude Chabrol, longtime master of the French domestic thriller, has made few better than "Merci pour la Chocolat," his chillingly exact portrait of a "perfect" family torn apart by what seems the perfect murder. The film, based on an American crime novel by Charlotte Armstrong, is a near-masterpiece. It's an impeccable study in perversity and a thriller with almost no on-screen violence, few conventional suspense sequences and a surface so deceptively serene and exquisitely composed - a milieu of effortless luxury with a soundtrack of Liszt and Chopin - that all the dark, deadly currents seem initially buried out of sight.
The movie, which earned Chabrol the 2000 Prix Louis Delluc, an even more rare and prestigious film prize than the French Oscar (or "Cesar"), is another of his cool vivisections of prestige and privilege. Set mostly on a grand lakeside estate in Lausanne, Switzerland, it's about a purely evil woman who looks and acts like a domestic saint: Isabelle Huppert as Marie-Claire Muller-Polonski, or "Mika," an heiress who runs a Swiss chocolate factory, is married (for the second time) to a famous concert pianist, Andre Polonski (Jacques Dutronc), and is world-famous for her family's gourmet chocolate - which she may have used to kill her husband's other wife.
Chabrol, always the master film portraitist of bourgeois rituals, begins "Merci pour la Chocolat" with a wedding. It's Mika's second marriage to Andre, whom she first briefly married and divorced 18 years ago and now has captured again. At the reception we learn, primarily from an elderly family friend and gossip Dufreigne (Michel Robin), that Andre was married in the intervening years to a woman, Lisbeth, who died in a tragic car accident while they were staying at Mika's estate. We also learn that Andre has a teenage son, Guillaume (Rodolphe Pauly), and that there is a local legend that Guillaume may have been switched at birth in the maternity hospital with another newborn child, a girl named Jeanne Pollet.
Soon afterward we meet Jeanne (played by ravishing newcomer Anna Mouglalis), a bright-eyed beauty who acts as our guide and detective, and whose doctor-mother, Louise (Brigitte Catillon), and boyfriend, Axel (Mathieu Simonet), both work at the local forensics crime lab. Jeanne has never before heard the maternity-ward-switch story - which she immediately compares to another movie, Etienne Chatiliez's hit 1987 baby-swapping comedy "Life is a Long Quiet River" - but she's deeply moved, especially since she, like Andre, is a classical pianist and, as she learns later, also a near double for Andre's dead second wife, Lisbeth.
Relentless and irresistible, Jeanne shows up at the Muller-Polonski estate, talks Andre into receiving her - they start working over her competition piece, Liszt's "Funerailles," on the piano - and, at the instigation of instantly hospitable Mika, stays for supper, after which she observes, unseen, Mika deliberately spilling a nightcap of chocolate in a thermos she's prepared for Guillaume. The action exposes the contradictions of this perilously balanced household - the disheveled addict-artist-husband, his rich, enabling wife and their sullen son -and the nightcap, Jeanne learns after a lab analysis by Axel, was laced with a sleeping drug. From there, the movie turns into a battle of wits and wills between the idealist Jeanne and her smiling, friendly, ever-gracious hostess, who may be a murderess.
The plot is highly unlikely - the Armstrong novel that Chabrol and co-scenarist Caroline Eliacheff ("La Ceremonie") adapted is called "The Chocolate Cobweb" - but its narrative style is flawless, its actors supremely convincing. None more so than Huppert, who has starred in five other films for Chabrol, including the classics "Violette Noziere" (1978), where she played a daughter who poisoned her parents, and "La Ceremonie" (1995), where she played a maid's friend who helped slaughter her employers. One of the greatest of all French star actresses, Huppert can play characters in almost any key, but she has a genius for portraying evil. She shows it without qualms, with a pacific expression and with pale, calm, inquisitive eyes - as if, in the worlds she inhabits, it is the most natural thing in the world to kill a parent, an employer or, in this case, a rival for one's husband.
Perhaps it is. For Chabrol - from his first film, 1958's "Le Beau Serge," through his peerless crime dramas of the late '60s (including "La Femme Infidele," just remade into Adrian Lyne's "Unfaithful") to "L'Enfer," "La Ceremonie" and now "Merci pour la Chocolat" - the French Bourgeosie have always been capable of the most hideous crimes and appalling hypocrisy. Like his fellow suspense masters and lifelong models Alfred Hitchcock and Fritz Lang, whom he evokes once more in this film, Chabrol likes to turn a cold eye on cruelty.
But neither Violette nor the postmistress in "La Ceremonie," both based at least partly on real-life murderesses, are as scary as Mika, whose actions seem entirely unimpeded by morality. Evil, Chabrol and Huppert suggest once again, is not necessarily a deviation. Sometimes, it just is. And in this case, Mika's evil is inextricable from what seems her good: the self-sacrificing way she cares for her family, guests and company.
How deep does the chaos go? "Merci pour la Chocolat" beautifully mines the vein of ambiguities and double appearances here. It is a movie about the gradual erosion of life's seeming certainties, and it's also about the destructive immorality that may lie beneath the most exquisitely composed veneer. As we watch "Chocolat," this great director and his great actress, Huppert, convince us: Evil is.

How to be sure Photos for Mac stores full-resolution images

I don't think I can just copy the library since some may only be in the cloud at full resolution and the export feature doesn't create folders for years/months—it's just a dump of all files in one folder. I have 280GB of photos going back to 2001. Any ideas on how to get a full, verified copy of my photos on a backup drive?

The photos in this listing got me to try it back in 2007, when I desperately wanted to jump on the mineral/"natural"/organic/free range (just kidding, it's makeup not chickens) cosmetics band wagon. I thought I looked great for about three weeks... even though the Alima Foundation did not ever stay on my face for long... even if I mixed it into my sunscreen to make a tinted moisturiser and then used a setting powder on top. I always ended up looking glossy and felt oily. And the last straw was when my skin started itching and burning and eventually I broke out in little bumps whenever I used it. I was using an oil-based pre-cleane to remove the makeup, so I think I reacted to it because I was sensitive to the high mica content. Mineral makeup is, I think, for resistant skin types. Looking at the photos of happy, glowing, perfect-skinned people in this listing make me want to try this foundation again... but I know better than to do that and while I may not have resistant skin, Alima gave me a resistant attitute towards ALL mineral makeup -- I'm just that frightened of it. Now on the other hand, Alima makeup brushes are nice quality.

After reading all the shining reviews on the Alima foundation, I was looking forward to trying it out! I had ordered 4 samples and narrowed my choice to Warm 3. The color was just about an absolute match for my Asian skin tone! The coverage is great: able to cover most minor to medium imperfections with one application and the texture is very creamy. It also lasts all day on my oily skin, which is a big plus. They have so many shades to choose from, you're bound to find one that's a match; it's a bit daunting at first, but you'll quickly pick up on how to find your shade, plus they also have a makeup artist you can e-mail if you have any questions.
My biggest complaint however was that it always applied terribly onto my nose; it always looked cakey and uneven, no matter what I tried (moisturizer, primer, etc) to help even it out better. It would look lovely on the rest of my face, but it looked TERRIBLE on my nose. It also didn't do anything to help absorb oil, but I've pretty much settled on the idea that nothing will work (except MAC Blot Powder, and even that only lasts 2-3 hours). So I'd give this a 3.5 but I always round up so it gets a 4. It's still a much better mineral foundation than Bare Minerals (that stuff made my face SUPER oily) so I still recommend giving this a shot if you're looking for a good quality mineral foundation to use.

the only other mineral makeup I've tried is Everyday Minerals and Alima blows them out of the water. for some reason EDM never made me itch, though, and Alima does. however, it doesn't make me break out and looks creamy and natural when applied wet or dry (I've been spraying my kabuki brush with mark's mist opportunity now before picking up the powder and applying as I've read some experts think breathing in mineral makeup can hurt one's lungs over time.) there are SO MANY shades and if you send a message to "ask the artist" with a foundation that matches you, they give helpful suggestions as to which shades to try. love that. as a whole, this company is great to its customers and they even give extra samples when purchasing $1.50 samples.
downsides--powder all over my bathroom counter! but I have always had that problem with loose powder. I wish they had a pressed powder version. I know sephora does and it has great reviews so I may try that next as I never haul a kabuki brush and jar of MMU in my purse for touch ups. for some reason I can't get this or any other MMU to not fade after a few hours--dry, wet, over moisturizer and/or primer, setting with rimmel's mattify powder, spraying with mist opportunity to set, nothing seems to keep it there! but it's not melting off, it's just not there. there's gotta be some way to keep it on! still my HG for now and I will definitely be repurchasing.
EDIT: I can't make this or any other MMU look not-powdery on me, so I no longer use this but I think it's more of a user error and my skin + this type of makeup thing than anything having to do with product performance, so I'm leaving my ratings the same :)

Great color selection! I emailed their makeup artists who helped me find 4 colors that might work for me. Two of the three were very close matches, but one was dead on! The foundation worked great and stayed on all day. Will definitely buy again!

After using this on and off for a good 3 months, I am certain that I could write a fair review. The conclusion is: I love this mineral foundation!!
Customer service was excellent in answering questions, suggesting shades. I bought a few shades in sample jars to try out. With over 60 shades it's hard NOT to find the one that matches you. I am not even 1/4 on the sample jar ($1.5). Crazy, in a good way.
This foundation applies very smoothly, I apply 2-3 coats on, and then plus the green mineral concealer on my cheeks without looking cakey at all. It looks so natural as if I don't have any makeup on! It stays put the whole day, doesn't oxidizes (meaning it doesn't turn orange). Overall, very satisfied with this and will be buying the full size jar once this sample jar is gone.

Edit 11/10/2010: Still loving this and on my 2nd order. I am custom blend 50/50 Beige1/Beige2 in winter. Love that you can blend shades.
First, a little about me. I have acne-prone, combination skin (oily T-zone). Fair but not pale neutral tone. I have been trying for some time to find my HG MMU because I believe it is better for my skin the liquid.
I have tried: Bare Minerals (Fairly Light -shiny and itchy), PUR Mineral (Light - itchy), Everyday Minerals (no good color match (it oxidized) and had a shiny face after a few hours), and now Alima Pure... and I've found my HG!
This makeup does not look powdery on my skin, just silky smooth with good coverage. I was telling a friend how much I like it, and she couldn't believe it was a powder because it gave a soft glow with good coverage (but not shiny).
I use a concealer brush to spot conceal my acne spots first, then apply all over using an EcoTools Kabuki. For under-eye concealer, I dab a cheap eye cream on my finger and then dip my finger into the powder. It spreads easily on my under eye area leaving it concealed but moisturized. And because I'm using the same shade, it blends perfectly. No raccoon eyes!
The color scheme is amazing, and yet quite simple. No funky names or confusing website, just 6 categories of undertone, each with a ranking of 0-9, with 0 a near white level and 9 for the darkest of dark skin.
Cool - very pink
Neutral - neutral but definitely on the cool side
Beige - this is what I would consider a TRUE neutral. Cool tones are too cool for me, and warm tones too warm, and I am a perfect match for B2, possibly B1 in winter.
Warm - Neutral but leaning yellow/warm
Golden and Olive - I have not tried so can't comment.
I found my perfect match by using the 'find your shade' guide to narrow it down, and then ordering $1.50 samples of a few different ones. Each sample lasts me close to a week - very generous. They also throw in additional freebie samples of blush and eyeshadow that go well with the shades you are ordering. I found my HG blush - Carnation through one of the freebie samples.
I have been using samples for 3 weeks now, and have not had any itch/reaction/breakout. In fact, my face seems to be clearing up. My skin feels like it can 'breathe' when I wear this makeup. The only ingredients are Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Mica, and possibly Iron Oxides.
To top off all the positives, their customer service is the best I've ever encountered. Shipping is fast, and I get a handwritten "Thank you, Becky" with each order. Alima Pure is a green company, and they will recycle your used containers. You mail in 5 full size containers in paper packaging (so they can recycle the containers AND the packaging) and they send you a discount code for a free eye shadow. How awesome is that!
Obviously from my rave, I will be buying this again. :) Thank you to the MUA'ers who came before me to recommend this. I would have never found this company without them.

I REALLY love this foundation, except for the fact that I want to scratch my face off after applying it because it's itching like crazy. Sucks for me that I'm mica-sensitive. Otherwise it would be my HG. It controls oilies very well and looks GREAT! Nice coverage, very smooth looking with aloe as a primer/moisturizer. It is too matte for me, but I just spray with some thermal water and buff with a kabuki. Problem solved! Nice range of colors, cheap samples, fast shipping. Overall, wonderful company and product. Just wish it worked for me.

Ok oily skinned ladies this is the BEST product I have ever used and I have tried it all. If you are oily the secret here is to combine the color of your choice with a bit of water and apply with a FOUNDATION BRUSH (mine is from CVS),,,,perfection every time. An amazing, natural look with great coverage. Send for the samples first to match skin tone. Their blushes are fabulous too as is their customer service. A winner!!

I have "tried" mineral mu before but wiht no luck. shiney, made pores look big, color didn't stay or changed throughout the day. But i was happy enough using liquid foundation. When I read you could triy $1 samples though of Alima, and read the revies, it was too tempting not to try.
SOOO happy I did. I emailed the Alima mu artist the brand/color liquid foundation that I used and I got a response on several shades of Alima to try. The samples are generously sized, so I've gotten to test for over a week to see about skin reactions, coverage, etc. All 5 stars! I found the right color and have "almost" mastered applying mineral makeup.
I also tried their blushes and really like those as well. PHENOMENAL customer service including a hand written thank you on the order.
I'm 40, so am not into "trendy" looks...but was looking for something wiht natual coverage that doesn't enlarge pores, cause a breakout or emphasize fine lines.

Make sure your cat behaves as if you were standing right there. The PetSafe Wireless Indoor Cat Barrier is safe, easy to set up and very effective.
Just place the small, disk-shaped transmitter (about the size of a Frisbee) near the area you want to protect. Then adjust the range from as little as 2 feet to up to 10 feet.
When your pet gets near the signal a warning beep sounds on the receiver/collar. If he continues to approach the protected area, a mild correction is given. You can increase or decrease the correction to meet your cat's training needs.
You can protect multiple areas and cats with additional transmitters or collars. The receiver/collar is light and durable and specifically designed for cats with an elastic safety strip that will stretch in those instances where your cat is exploring in a tight place.

This system would work great if the transmitting unit had any level of consistency. It can be projecting a good range of 5-6 feet one second and ten seconds later it only activates the collar from less than a foot away. I tried everything and went through three batteries attempting to get it set up to behave in a consistent manner. I have it on non conductive surfaces and am following all other guidelines from the instructions but it is still unreliability finicky. Also, the range dial is a joke...collar seems sturdy and reliable. Stayed on my cat but without a consistent field being transmitted by the base he still pees on the couch despite the transmitting base being 2 feet away.
Posted by happycat on Sep 23rd 2015
My cat immediately knew that something was up when I slipped the collar on her, but even more so when she encountered the "fence". Needless to say, she has learned right away that she can't go past a certain part of the hallway without getting "zapped". She knows to stay away from that area even when her collar is off! This has been a very good investment and will be used on future cats, if necessary. The only down side is the battery doesn't last very long. Other than that, my cat stays away from getting corrected and that makes me happy.
Posted by Mike J. on Aug 31st 2015
The collar works great.
Posted by Unknown on Aug 10th 2015
It's works good but its way too big for cats and the battery life needs improvement.

We have had a gate up for years to keep one aggressive large cat from 2 old small cats. The gate broke and we found this solution online. The transmitter sits at the top of the stairs and the aggressive cat now stops at the landing, it only took 2 corrections, this issue was solved the day we received it.
Posted by Mike on Apr 3rd 2015
Our cat is very stubborn and constantly tries to get out. So far so good but he tests it on a regular basis. Most of the time he backs away at the warning. Sometimes he stays just a little to long. Keeps him inside where he belongs though.

Had a problem with our barn cat coming into the garage. We would leave a door open for our dog to come and go. The cat decided she liked the garage better than the barn. But she started peeing in the garage, even with an open door, and climbing on the vehicles. Purchased the Cat Barrier with collar. Placed the Transmitter by the door inside the garage. Adjusted the strength to setting 4. All it took was one time. She jumped about 4 foot in the air, did a couple flips and hit the ground at a dead run back to the barn. She hasn't been back to the garage since. I figure I can probably take the collar off after a couple of months. This was the cats last chance before taking it to the SPCA. So now everybody is happy. Only gave 4 stars because I've only had it for a month and am not sure of the durability.

Our Maine Coon kept jumping up on our kitchen counter and was smart enough to do it when every one was asleep or away. We tried all sorts of "old wives" tricks to keep him off but they all failed and we believe the cat would mock us as we tried. We finally bought the cat barrier and Eli (maine coon) quickly learned that the area was off limits. The time for Eli to learn this life lesson was about an hour. He would try to find an opening to get on the counter but with gentle persuasion he found out that there was no opening. Level two on the collar seemed to be a point where he would push through the warning but at level three he doesnt even try. Thank you so much for this product that saved our sanity and saved Eli from moving out
Posted by pj on Jan 23rd 2015
Our cat is quite fluffy. Given that, I shaved a bit underneath her neck so that the correction would be felt. At first, our cat ran from the device as soon as she received correction. She did this on a few occasions; however, she is determined, and quickly learned that all she needs to do is run as soon as she hears the beeps. By that time she was out of range and exactly where we don't want her to be.
Unfortunately it did not work for us, though I am sure it will work for other cats.
Posted by Kathleen E. on Dec 12th 2014
Once we figured out a good placement for the transmitter, the wireless barrier has worked well at keeping our cat out of our studio. We also have a doggy door in that room and don't want him to go outside. It didn't take him long to figure out what the beeps led to if he ignored them. Our only concern is the length of time between the beeps and the correction. He could run right past until we got the boundary area right.

text: Lovely hotel in very central area of Eindhoven. It was no more than five minutes walk to the restaurant stree and pubs. Room was good sized and very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bakery just beside the hotel which serves breakfast (if you are on B&B). We just went down and picked up fresh juices and pastries and had breakfast in bed. Very good value for such a nice hotel in such a central location. Can't imagine wanting to stay anywhere else if we return to Eindhoven.

Prevention measures to protect life and property are in effect until Oct. 15 on 13 million acres of DNR-protected lands
May 15, 2014 | Vol. 118 -- No. 4
OLYMPIA – It may still be somewhat wet, but the wildfire season, which officially began April 15 as specified by state law, has already put Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) crews to work on over 20 forest fires reported this year on lands protected by DNR.
Department officials remind people that the risk of wildfires can change rapidly during the spring when warmer, dryer weather occurs with increasing frequency. Wildfires can damage natural resources, destroy homes, and threaten the safety of the public and the firefighters who protect forests and communities.
Last year, a total of 764 fires burned approximately 126,219 acres. In 2013, 94 percent of the wildfires that burned on DNR-protected lands were contained to less than 10 acres in size. Overall, 70 percent of the wildfires on DNR-protected lands in 2013 were human-caused.
Dry and unhealthy forests continue to be a fire hazard and will for many years. It takes only one spark to start a fire that can have catastrophic results. Prevention of human-caused wildfires can reduce the risk of expensive, disruptive wildfires that damage habitat for birds, fish, and wildlife. These fires destroy homes and threaten the safety of the public and firefighters who protect forests and communities at risk.
Washington's "summer fire rules" are in effect now through Oct. 15. These rules apply to the 13 million acres of private and state forestlands protected from wildfire by DNR.
These regulations affect loggers, firewood cutters, land clearers, road builders, bulldozer operators, off-road motorcyclists, and others. During fire season, people using motorized equipment in the woods must have approved spark arresters and follow fire safety precautions. In addition, those working in the woods must have fire prevention and extinguishing equipment in good working order at the job site and workers trained in proper use.
The rules are intended to prevent forest fires and to extinguish small fires before they spread. Those same rules restrict cigarette smoking in forested areas to roads, gravels pits, or other clearings. They also prohibit lighting fireworks on forestland.
Daily fire risk ratings available by phone and Internet.
Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPL) may change daily and classify varying levels of fire danger in different parts of the state. People who work in the woods must observe the IFPL. More information is available from the following sources:
DNR's website at http://www.dnr.wa.gov. Click on "Fire Information" to review regional precaution levels, a map of current shutdown zones, and a copy of DNR's Industrial Fire Precaution Level Bulletin.
DNR's toll-free business line at 1-800-527-3305 plays a message identifying daily industrial fire precaution levels, which are listed by geographical region. The hearing impaired can phone Telephone Device for the Deaf at 1-800-833-6388.
Email DNR at email@example.com. Ask questions or request a copy of DNR's "Industrial
Fire Precaution Level Bulletin" or additional information on safe outdoor burning of forest debris and safe recreational campfire tips.

Emma Watson
Emma Watson is an English actress best who played Hermione Granger on the Harry Potter series. Emma Watson's success in the Harry Potter series has led to several more projects and helped Emma Watson win the UK Kid's Choice Award.
Always one of the more well-attended Hollywood events, the 20th annual MTV Movie Awards are set to air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, California on Sunday (June 5) beginning at 9PM ET.
With Jason Sudeikis tending to hosting duties, the red carpet festivities are set to get underway - with live feed coverage available below.
Hard at work on her new film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," Emma Watson was spotted on the Pennsylvania set yesterday (May 31).
The British beauty had just finished filming a Rocky Horror Picture Show-themed scene as she rushed back to her trailer.
Still situated in the steel city, Emma Watson showed off her lean physique in a sports bra as she headed to the gym for a workout in Pittsburgh on Sunday (May 29).
The "Harry Potter" hottie toted the book "Chicken Soup for the Soul" as she glared at the following shutterbugs before disappearing inside the fitness center for the day's sweat session.
Out and about the Steel City, Emma Watson was spotted at a health and wellness store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania yesterday (May 27).
The 21-year-old, who is in the city shooting the movie "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," sported a cute 'n casual look, wearing a loose black tank top, vintage athletic green shorts, and black flats.
They're poised to take over the box office this summer, and the stars of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" are on the cover of Empire magazine's July issue.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint join forces to keep the hype alive for their new flick, the final chapter of the Potter movie franchise.
Getting their avid fan base geared up for the final installment in the hit franchise, a new movie poster for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" has just been released.
The latest Potter offering shows a closeup of star Daniel Radcliffe's face with the words "It All Ends" placed underneath along with the movie's release date of 7/15 (July 15th).
Taking a well-deserved break from her current gig, Emma Watson was spotted taking in a movie in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania yesterday (May 22).
The 21-year-old British babe saw "Bridesmaids" with some friends, and tried to go incognito in a fedora, sunglasses, and scarf.
Keeping up on her physical fitness, Emma Watson was busy hitting the gym for a workout in Pittsburgh, PA over the weekend (May 21).
Dressed in her comfy gym gear, the Hermione Granger actress joined her personal trainer as the pair headed into the local training locale for a day-beginning sweat session.
Continuing to film her new flick "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," Emma Watson was spotted out in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania yesterday (May 19).
The English actress got her makeup done and sipped on a warm beverage as she waited for shooting to begin.

Shame its just 8's
Greetings all,
I just wanted to toss up a post and see if loyal Lodger customers have any behind-the-scenes information about the acquisition by Lutwyche. I know that the founder Nathan Brown has since walked away from the company, as well as Christian Kimber. I've purchased both ready-to-wear and custom made Shoe of the Month pairs from the company in the past, and have been quite pleased with their product and service, but as of late I've noticed that the website has been deteriorating and that nobody seems to respond to my multiple emails. Unfortunately I live in the US and am not able to physically travel to the store, and I feel somewhat weary of making phone calls to the store purely for information/gossip with no intention of making a purchase. Are the shoes being made in the same factories? Does anybody know which factories produced shoes for Lodger (particularly the Italian line)? Is the Shoe of the Month promotion being discontinued? Does Nathan Brown have any plans on starting a new company?
Thanks in advance to all of you shoe horses out there for your time and help.

I know that because I bought a pair for myself in Cheaney's factory store which even says Lodger on the soles
They are good looking shoes, but £450 what a joke.
I wouldn't trust a brand that overprices their stuff to this level with any of my money
All in all they were a good buy (£90 due to a small cut in the vamp) but £450 my god ....:D

The 'Hamilton' model that Lodger advertises at £450 on their site under the 'English contemporary' section are made by Cheaney.

Lodger was nice and interesting but always a rip off and that was the source of their problems.

Lodger was a nice idea, but lack of designs (they needed more RTW designs) and prices were a let down. They were not competitive during the year, even less so during the sales - EG shoes were cheaper then Lodgers.
They did have some quality issues at the start too, Nathan mentioned some people had problems with the shoe heels, which Lodger got repaired free-of-charge for them.
From what I've read in their newsletters, all of their Italian line has been discontinued. They came out with a spring/summer collection that was not available to view on the website for months, but within the last seven days I noticed it has begun to appear on the site (summer shoes just in time for fall?) but without pictures or any text information.
For any of those that are interested, I also recently noticed that they replaced the Error message on the Shoe of the Month page with links to all of the past Shoes of the Month. I often appreciated the innovation behind those models, and I personally believe that is where the passion of their designers truly manifested. The vintage tennis shoe, the sheepskin-lined country boot, the patent/suede laced tuxedo shoe, the cross-strapped Jodphur, and the linen oxford are among my favorites. I had the two-tone desert boots made for me, and now I regret not indulging in some of those others models that caught my eye. Unfortunately I think it's now safe to say that ship has sailed.

Quintessential Barrington
A Pioneer Survivor Tucked Away in a World of Country Estates
and Aristocratic Pursuits
With a caregiver gently brushing her fine white hair, Gracie Jackson chattered with her visitor at the Olivette Nursing Home in Elgin. It was 1978 and she was a resident there after the family farmhouse on a now-closed section of Donlea Road had been become uninhabitable. Little had changed in the house since it was built by Gracie's grandfather, George "Father" Jackson, around 20 years after his arrival from Onondaga County, New York in 1842.
Gracie's father, George M. Jackson, Jr., was five-months-old at the time the family settled on land grant acreage at Spring Lake in Barrington Township. Their first home was a log cabin. George Jr. grew up, and remained on the farm all his life. He married Louise Perry of Dundee and they had four children, the youngest being Grace, born in 1889. Her mother died two years later, and an older sister raised her.
Gracie went intermittently to the Jackson School on the corner of Bateman Road and Route 62 and read well. This was true of the entire family. Every room in the house was crammed with over a hundred years' worth of newspapers, the "Prairie Farmer," and similar publications.
Neither Gracie nor her older brother Harvey had ever married. They spent their lives caring for the farm and their animals. Harvey died in hospital in 1960, after Gracie had nursed him through what she described as "fits."
Gracie never went to church or had any social activities. She had a radio, listening to Moody Bible programs. About once a year she went into Barrington in the family car, where her father and brother Harvey went to have their beards trimmed. In 1978 she was asked about her early life.
"What did you do for fun when you were a young girl?" Her down-to-earth answer was: "Why, I had to hold anywhere." On re-questioning, she repeated: "My job was to take hold anywhere. Make yourself useful."
And so she did. After Harvey died, she carried on alone, spending her entire life in the same home. Her property was sold to the Cook County Forest Preserve District, with her lifetime right to remain there. The Riding Club of Barrington Hills and the Fox River Valley Hunt became her neighbors as the countryside acquired a cachet undreamed of by her forbears.
Out tending her flowers, she chatted with passers-by on Donlea Road. Two rooms in the house had electricity, and gas was brought in at some point. There was no running water. After the road was closed, her family feared for her safety, and she moved into the relative comforts of Olivette.
On February 26, 1981, by order of the Forest Preserve, the house was demolished. Gracie Jackson lived on at Olivette, her radio and Moody Bible still her constant companions, and died there in 1993. She was a remarkable survivor of Barrington's bygone pioneer era.

So the Preds just won and are back in 4th by a point over us. Hawks/Wild are in OT. Here's hoping Hawks lose in OT, Preds lose their final game and we win on Saturday. Seems like a hell of a lot to ask for. Ugh.
A more likely scenario: Chicago wins tonight. Nashville wins their final game. We lose to Chicago and we end up in 6th. Seriously.

Kids Today Might Never Know – A Nostalgic Rant

March 3, 1998 in Nation/World
Teen's Demise Torments Parents The Short Life Of A Troubled Teen Is Now Unfinished Business For Detectives Hunting A Serial Killer
Jennifer Ann Joseph gazed at her palm lines and saw trouble ahead.
The 16-year-old from Tacoma told her dad and younger brother that she was going to live a short life.
"She always said she was only going to make it to 21 or 22," her father John Joseph recalled.
She didn't make it to 17.
The teenager's body was found last summer by two farmers, dumped in a field northeast of Spokane.
She was shot.
Her unsolved murder and 19 others are now the focus of a serial killer investigation that's 6 months old, apparently with no prime suspects in sight.
At least five of the Spokane murders and a sixth one in Tacoma were committed by the same killer or killers, investigators say.
Jennifer's murder isn't officially tied to the serial killer, but it isn't classified as unrelated, either.
Most of the victims were involved in prostitution, drugs or both.
Jennifer's descent into that life lasted only three months.
In one summer, she went from being a pretty, troubled high school sophomore to a street prostitute making as much as $1,000 a night for her pimp in San Francisco, according to interviews with her friends and family.
And then she was dead.
Her parents, who are divorced, find all that hard to accept.
"When I read that police were saying she was a known prostitute and drug user, well, that just kind of floored me," said her father, a 46-year-old retired Army sergeant who lives in Spanaway, near Tacoma.
"No father wants to pick up a paper and see his daughter is associated with that kind of stuff after dealing with the fact that she's been murdered."
Her mother, who's Korean, blames herself every day.
Mi Hae Chong Joseph quit her nursing home job in Hawaii and now spends full time with her 15-year-old son, her only remaining child.
"I can't focus to work - no more," she said.
Divorce took its toll
Jennifer Joseph was born on Oct. 6, 1980, in Hampton, Va. Her father had been transferred there after duty in South Korea, where he met and married Mi Hae Chong in 1979.
The family moved to Army bases in Denmark, South Korea and Massachusetts.
When she was 12, they moved again - this time when her father was transferred to Fort Lewis, near Tacoma.
They bought their first house. It was a new $119,500 stucco-rancher in a quiet, middle-class neighborhood in Spanaway.
Jennifer finally had her own bedroom, and she lined it with stuffed animals. She couldn't have real pets because of allergies.
Her parents separated in February 1993, eight months before Jennifer became a teenager.
"She was a smart kid in school, but was sometimes bored," her father said. She enrolled in an alternative high school and went on her first date when she was 14.
Attempts at reconciliation failed, and her parents filed for divorce in October 1996, the same month Jennifer turned 16.
In November 1996, almost midway through her sophomore year, Jennifer left Tacoma and moved to Hawaii to live with her mother.
In Hawaii, her mother recalled, she excelled in school.
"She liked friends," Mi Joseph said. "She does not see bad people. She trusts people. I see bad people."
But Jennifer had trouble fitting in there. She was the target of racist remarks because she was a child of a Korean-Caucasian marriage.
She left Hawaii in April 1997 and returned to her dad's home in Spanaway.
"She wanted to take the rest of the school year off, but definitely intended to go back in the fall," John Joseph recalled.
Her relationship with father grew strained. Her friends say she was concerned about a new woman in his life and her five kids.
"I tried to set clamps on her, but Jennifer was independent-minded," her father said. "Like a lot of kids, she evolved to the point where parents all of a sudden don't know anything.
"She didn't like to live with rules."
'Loved to party'
Jennifer left home last May and moved in with three other young women in Tacoma.
"She was raised as a military brat, like a lot of the rest of us," said one of her former roommates. "She was used to meeting strangers and becoming friends with people real fast."
Two of her former roommates agreed to talk about Jennifer on the condition they not be identified.
The four teenagers partied and learned there was fast, tax-free money in the escort business, where men pay for a date.
One roommate made $1,000 by dressing as a girl in pigtails and engaging in sexual foreplay with a college professor.
Before long, Jennifer and her roommates were being courted by men who called themselves "international pimps," the two former roommates said.
The men bought them expensive clothes, athletic shoes, jewelry, perfume and liquor. They took them to fine restaurants and virtual-reality arcades in Seattle and Tacoma.
Before long, the gifts stopped and the young women were being given crank - methamphetamine.
"We snorted it and we'd stay up for days and party on it. Jennifer loved to party," said one former roommate, now 19.
"Looking back now, I can see they gave us the drugs to pull us closer to them."
What her parents didn't know
Jennifer was particularly smitten by one of the men. He was in his late 20s and had worked as a cook at a Tacoma pancake house.
Jennifer took her new boyfriend home to meet her dad. John Joseph said most of his questions about the young man's past and source of income went unanswered.
"Around him, she just seemed to be so bubbly," her father said.
The new boyfriend drove a late-model Cadillac, complete with gold-trim, and bragged that he bought it with money from pimping, the two friends recalled.
On the streets, he called himself JP.
"That stands for 'Just-Pimpin,"' one of the friends said.
As their relationship intensified, JP took Jennifer and one of her roommates on a "vacation" to San Francisco last May and June.
At some point, he convinced the two teenagers that they could make quick money and help pay expenses through prostitution, the roommate said.
They dressed up and went looking for customers on Geary and O'Farrell streets in downtown San Francisco.
The money was good, but the work was dangerous.
One time, a customer pulled a gun on Jennifer and she jumped from his moving car, the friend said. Jennifer suffered severe head injuries and was hospitalized in San Francisco.
Her parents never found out about the incident.
Once out of the hospital, JP and Jennifer traveled to Salem, Ore., and Portland, where she was arrested for prostitution, the friends said.
Sometime in late July, the pair came to Spokane and rented a motel room. She was killed sometime in the next month.
John Joseph said he has been told almost nothing since a police chaplain came to his door at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 26 and told him his daughter's body had been found.
John Joseph and a friend drove to Spokane on Sept. 5 to pick up her cremated remains. He also met with Spokane detectives, who asked for a blood sample, apparently for DNA testing and comparison.
Detectives gave him a studio photograph of his daughter, but wouldn't say how they got it. The picture is now a cherished possession in John Joseph's living room.
Even before Jennifer's body was found, her friends said, JP was back in Tacoma, telling them he knew she was dead.
JP's sister said he was interviewed and given a lie-detector test by Spokane detectives. He apparently isn't a suspect in the murder.
