The roller coaster ride of the past few years has left many investors weary of the extreme market volatility and muted investment returns.
Increasingly, individual investors face decision time. "What should I do now?" is a common question.
For starters, avoid panic and keep a cool head. Timing the ups and downs of the market is difficult for professional portfolio managers, let alone the average investor.
Most importantly, revisit a sound, time-tested investment strategy known as asset allocation. Simply put, asset allocation spreads money among a variety of different asset classes such as stocks, bonds and cash equivalent investments.
Different investors approach asset allocation in different ways. Thus, generalizations about its importance are difficult to make.
Personal risk tolerance varies greatly depending on age and savings goals. When assessing personal risk tolerance, decide how much volatility you can live with and still sleep at night.
Consider factors such as cash-flow requirements, liquidity needs, time horizon, tax situation and financial goals.
When determining asset allocation, keep an eye on diversification. History has proven that no single investment performs well under all economic or market conditions.
By dividing investments among a variety of investments such as stock funds, based on style (growth, income and value); size of the company (small, mid and large-cap); and location (domestic or international), you can potentially reduce the impact that one poor performer may have on the overall portfolio.
Investing Strategies Beyond Asset Allocation
Once you have settled on an appropriate allocation among stocks, bonds and cash based on your risk level, consider monitoring your portfolio on a periodic basis.
Consider annual rebalancing. This strategy keeps your investment allocation aligned with your investment strategy by automatically selling asset shares that have outperformed and investing in asset shares that have underperformed. If market changes cause your portfolio to become overweighed in one type of investment, your portfolio is re-adjusted automatically to match your original asset allocation.
Another proven long-term investing strategy is dollar cost averaging.*
While it may require discipline, especially in a down market, investing a fixed amount on a regular basis can allow investors to take full advantage of long-term growth. When prices are low, your investment buys more shares and when prices are high, you will buy less. The practice keeps you active in the market at all times, and research shows that staying in the market is far more successful than jumping in and out, trying to time the upswings and downswings.
*Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in decline in markets. The investor should carefully consider financial ability to continue payments during periods of low price levels.
Don't Go It Alone
During the roaring 1990s, working with a financial professional seemed almost unnecessary. Many investors simply placed money in the market and saw double-digit returns. In the new era of financial reality, we have learned that portfolio management is a dynamic decision-making process that requires ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
Because investing often becomes an emotional process to the non-professional, consult with a knowledgeable financial professional, who can help you determine which asset allocation is right for you.
A financial professional can identify attractive investment opportunities, put market volatility into perspective and create a sound investment strategy to help you reach your financial goals - no matter what the market brings.

"I am amused that you were to immediately align me with the jedi. I assure you, your assurance is worthless to me" he said and pointed the green blade at Asa. It would only require one good force push and the blade would stick out of the woman's back. But that would end all the fun Emukiel could have.
"You speak so freely of a higher purpose, yet you are nothing but an errand runner for the true leaders of this charade. Usually the most lowliest are the most extreme in their opinions. And this mongrel that's lying here. He's not worth my time" the weequay said before taking a step towards her.
"If you want to know of a true higher purpose, you should listen to me instead of your current bosses. The force is everything and everyone. When there is a higher purpose, it is the will of the force, not the will of some lowlife force-user like yourself. And for what I have felt in the force, it's will is not to make zombie sith to conquer the world for you. It will only end very badly for your part if you defy the laws of nature and the will of the force"

I lived in Hempstead when I was a kid in the sixties and I can remember going to the Lynbrook Theatre on Wednesday, May 28, 1969, to see a double feature of "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines" and "Planet of the Apes." Someone at Fox must have thought that would make a good pairing, the ads called it "The Perfect Mates! Apes and Men!" Anyway, "Men" started at 7 P.M. and since it was over two hours long — and had an Intermission! — "Apes" didn't start until after 10 P.M. I remember my father wondering how I and my siblings were going to get up to go to school the next day. Since I was only nine back then, I can't now recall the next day. But I do remember the Lynbrook at that occasion. It had a nice lobby and was a big theatre with a balcony. I vividly recall sitting in the center/front of the balcony. "Planet of the Apes" was — and still is — my favorite movie, so to see it like that was a great thrill. I'm sorry to read that the theatre eventually got divided up and is now in such bad shape, but that's been the fate of most movie houses. Actually I'm surprised the Lynbrook is still standing!
This page on the Lynbrook Fire Department's website recounts an incident from earlier this year when the theater's popcorn machine suffered from technical difficulties. There are some photos of the lobby – and its depressing drop ceiling.
Well Ed I agree your right about the RVC Fantasy being the strongest competition. When the movies aren't in Lynbrook me and my friends go to RVC. They usually have it if Lynbrook doesnt, we dont go to Green Acres cause of the shootings and stuff in the past, Malverne and Franklin Square are far for walking.
Mike I'm sure for some of the work such as painting possibly installing seats and whatnot can be done by students for community service hours. What ever happend to the Fantasy Playhouse? I don't know how you could demolish that theartre. Like the Lynbrookteen dude pointed out it has alot of history. I too was up in the stage for some party years ago. The theatre has been around quite awhile. I've found pictures online www.lynbrookpba.org/OldLynbrook1.htm Check it out.
You do have a great staff Mike.
By the way, I agree with Mike that the introductory comments above should probably be re-written – if only to present a more objective and historically minded intro. I think the thread of comments sufficiently bemoan the theater's fall from stylish single screen playhouse to dissected and neglected plex.
I often wonder if more locals would visit the Lynbrook if it were a more inviting and well kept place. Fixing that A/C will probably go a long way. Replacing the seats would be another. It's not as if there are any more modern stadium-styled multiplexes in the area. I can't imagine the Franklin Square theater being any more comfortable than the Lynbrook – and certainly its auditoriums are smaller than the Lynbrook's four main rooms. Malverne is the same story – thought it has its own niche audience due to the more sophisticated offerings there. Sunrise Cinemas is a dinosaur from the late '70's and both it and the nearby Green Acres likely suffer from an unfortunate racial stigma in the view of many Lynbrook residents.
The strongest competition to the Lynbrook probably comes from the Fantasy in RVC – which, again, offers no stadium-style comforts. The Fantasy probably has more parking spaces available, due to the large lot behind the stores across the street, so that gives it a definite edge. Is parking the big obstacle in gutting the Lynbrook for a stadium-plex refit?
Mike, despite your corporate stance, you're still a cutie-pie.
My problem is the overall point of this website and what it should be and what it isnt. That blurb clearly is not needed in the sense that its vague. The problem as I have said with remodeling is the layout of the building. As well as the village of Lynbrook not willing to coperate with the needs of the theatre. Regal currently owns over 540 theatres…Lynbrook is not a prime location to take so much concern over. The industry itself isnt exactly thriving and the importance of building in other areas that would be more profitable should be the target for now. Granted I do agree that UA had negleted many of there theatres I believe Regal has a better idea of how to go about these older houses. Regal has closed the unproffitable Meadowbrook, sold Douglaston, closing Patchogue on 9/9/07, and the new Deer Park theatre will open soon. Lynbrook is still to some extent profitable and because of that I think they will do something with it. I respect you're desire to keep open the older theatre's and have them retrofitted…it just isnt as simple as it seems.
Mike… I think the state of the Lynbrook itself speaks to the lack of attention UA paid this once proud theater. Those uncomfortably padded wooden seats I sat in to watch "The Simpsons" earlier this month are probably the very same seats in which I watched "1941" back in December of '79! It has been the experience of many here on CT that UA allowed a number of its theaters (mostly older single-screen nabes split into 2, 3 or 4 screens) to suffer wear and tear with minimal maintenance – at least here in the NYC area. However, I don't think that Regal has been in control long enough to fairly pass judgment on their care of the theater.
Perhaps the comments should be adjusted to reflect the promise of new ownership. At least the A/C has been fixed and the burned-out lights on the marquee replaced! If you go to the "About Us" link at the top of any CT page, you can send a message to the CT editors via the "Contact Us" link there.
I would love to know how to change the blurb at the top of the page. It would be nice if someone that knows and has worked at the theatre could put up something that isnt so anti-regal/ua.
Also Ed…I did run the Lynbrook for a brief time in 2005…I was 21 and still going to school so I couldnt watch it for too long. I'm currently an Assistant Manager at Lynbrook but split my time with Westbury as well. I will be leaving the company soon for a better opportunity.
I'm not sure if you are referring to Lanny Brown. He has worked at the Lynbrook for over 25 years…and yes a true gentleman. If you do give us another chance please ask for me. I'd like to share some theatre knowledge with you. Thanks for the response!
Hey Mike… I'm sure you know this already, but your theater's greatest asset is the wonderful staff you have. Particularly the gentleman who presides up front where the tickets are ripped. A very friendly bunch and I hope you treat them well! If I ever bring myself to take another stab and test out the theater's A/C, I'll be sure to say hello to you.
The air conditioning has been fixed. Of course I can agree that I would like to see the building preserved. However, the issue as always is the cost. They have found that because of the layout of the theatre it would cost far more money to do that then just replace the existing theatre. I've heard someone mention the plumbing being a huge problem. It is a shame but I myself am begining to believe that this will end up being a situation where Regal just sucks what they can from this theatre and sells it when it is no longer profitable. Maybe they can use another bank on those five corners!
I used to attend movies at the Lynbrook back in the 1980's when it was a quartet. I've recently moved into Lynbrook from Queens and have visited the theater twice in the last few weeks. The first occasion was to see the movie "1408" which was playing in the pitifully small theater that has been constructed within former retail space just off the entrance foyer. Avoid this "screening room" at all costs if you like to see movies on a big screen – the room is a small square box and the screen anything but big. The night I went, the A/C was out in the main building but was working in the two newest theaters (the store front space I attended and the theater converted from the old backstage area).
Just a week or so ago, I took my son to the Lynbrook to see "The Simpsons Movie" and once again found that the A/C was not working in the main building. The wonderfully nice ticket-taker (an older gentleman who has worked there for years) was advising that the upstairs theaters were unbearably hot but that the two former orchestra auditoriums were reasonably comfortable. He allowed me to walk in to check out the room before I had to purchase our tickets. It seemed OK so I forged ahead. Little did I realize that I would be spending much of the movie swatting at the gnats that were buzzing around the theater in the humidity. I probably should have asked for my money back, even though we stuck it out to the end of the movie.
The place (particularly the older four theaters) has definitely been neglected over the years – the usual UA treatment. I would have guessed that the well worn padded wooden seats were the originals from 1923, but they probably only date back to the original division of the orchestra floor as they were clearly properly oriented towards the screen. Still, that means they date to the late 1970's! Any decor that may remain from the theater's original architecture is obscured by a thick red padding that now adorns the walls and a drap commercial drop ceiling in the lobby and foyer spaces. I haven't been in the balcony theaters for many years, so I'm not sure if any original design elements are visible.
Mike… I appreciate your point of view as the theater's manager, but I wonder if the place wouldn't benefit from some TLC by Regal rather than bulldozing the structure and starting new. There is much history here and to have it unceremoniously razed – without even the consideration of upgrading the facilities – would be a shame. I would love it if any of the original design could be salvaged. Perhaps the drop ceiling could be removed to expose the original lobby decor – if any of it still exists. Even a gut job within the shell of the old theater with a restoration of the facade would be preferrable to a brand new structure. It's really quite a handsome building and some of that character ought to be preserved.
And whatever happens – fix that air conditioning!
I'm a little shocked that I've come across this site. I'm currently a manager at the UA Lynbrook and have been since February 2000. In June of 2005 I was transferred to the UA Westbury theatre but have recently split my time between these two theatres as well as the UA Patchogue theatre. While the condition of the theatre has clearly shown it's age it hasnt been given fair treatment with reguards to ownership. Prior to 2002 United Artist's had full intentions of giving Lynbrook a new 12 screen theatre. The village and CEO's for United Artist's were in constant talks and blueprints were even created. United Artist's filed Chapter 11 in 2000 and Regal Cinemas (now known as Regal Entertainment Group) acquired Edwards theatre's and United Artist's in 2002. Plans for the new theatre were put on hold due to the fact that they have been unable to work out an agreement on parking, the restauraunt next door is an issue, and of course other projects. From what I have heard there is now no plans for at least the next two years to do anything with the theatre. They have replaced a large portion of the roof which cost around $30,000 as well as purchase 3 new compressors for the HVAC system….maybe $10,000….and have had some of the hallways in the past few weeks repainted and fixed. The theatre needs to be knocked down…and I hope that the company sees this soon before it's too late.
As for the loss of the union projectionist's…I'd like to add that most manager's now are level 4 certified operators. We are capable of running the booth properly and have done a quality job since the loss of the union in most of our theatres. However, I will say that this does not make up for the experience that most union operators have. I would prefer for the union to be doing the job instead of me…but I don't want people to believe that managers are incapable of threading up and running a show flawlessly.
hey we in lynbrook like our theartre ya it has fallen into disrepar but that can b fixd ,if u want 2 have more screens than when the resterant next door closes than add more but keep the orgininnal structure!!!

EdSolero- Re: your 11/24 comments on the marquee, they re-did the marquee at the Criterion on Times Square in the same manner – United Artists across the top and 'The Broadway' on the bottom. I never knew what that was suppose to mean as they continued to advertise in the paper as United Artists Criterion.
The changeover to managers in the booth is spreading all over the country. IATSE Local 640 of Nassau and Suffolk counties has been able to keep the wolves from the door until now, but it has been common in New Jersey and Westchester for a while now. Only NY Local 306 is able to prevent this, due in part to the requirement by NYC law of an operator's license. Although I suppose one could argue it's only a matter of time before managers get licenses or the license is done away with. Optioning a license requires only a written exam; the practical booth exam has been done away with, and costs only$60 every two years. I retired in 2005 but still plan on renewing my license every two years.
Of course the quality of the projection goes down hill with ushers running the booth, but managers in some circuits are receiving projectionist training prior to going into the booth and as a result seem to be doing a fair job. The problems come about when managers are required to perform other duties simultaneous to their booth work, or when union operators are required to operate two locations at a time. I believe the projectionist should never leave the booth.
As for cost, of course it's cheaper for the exhibitor to employ managers, and they are of the mindset if they lose a show or two it's still cheaper than having a pro in the booth full time.
So the sad truth is, expect less and less professionals running the show and more and more mishaps on the screen. I do however believe it will be quite a while before you see that in city theatres, I hate to see that change anytime soon.
I saw a movie at the Lynbrook this weekend and when I asked if Tom the projectionist was working that night, I was shocked to learn that they have fired all their projectionists, and now the "managers" are running the show. I spoke to a manager and she told me it happened about a month ago, to save money, and was happening at the smaller UA sites. This was always a union shop and I dread that the quality of presentation will now deteriorate. The night I was there, they couldn't get the sound to work on the pre-show advertising (a blessing?) and I guess it's all downhill from here.
Meredith, what say you?
Lost Memory … awesome postcard photo. I worked in the Lynbrook quad for a couple of years in the early 80's. Many, many fond memories. The old stage, and the "elephant doors" opening to Hempstead Avenue are gone I guess (WHAT a pity), but what about the basement changing rooms? I've been there since it was six-plex'd and there doesn't appear to be any use now of the basement, but it is there. And the ghost stories … anyone?
This Christmas 1954 as lists the Lynbrook as a Century Theatre, was it ever?

Here are couple of night shots I took recently:
The Lynbrook – long shot
The Lynbrook – tight shot
A few weeks ago when I passed by, the right half of the marquee was dark. Looks like they've fixed the lights behind the main panel, but the yellow border lighting on the right side still appear to be out.
Anyway… judging from the signage, looks like the official name of this theater is actually "United Artists Theatres The Lynbrook."
Thanks Lost… looks almost identical to the postcard I posted from the cinematour.com site back on December 15th. According to the two features advertised on the marquee ("The Nth Commandement" and "Truxton King") the photo from which this postcard was made dates from 1923. I wonder what is spelled out before the word "Lynbrook" on the front side of the marquee… can anyone make that out or care to make an educated guess?
Nice collection of images on that site… Unfortunately, I couldn't find any for the Arcade/Studio 1 Theater that was located on Atlantic Ave around the corner from the Lynbrook.

Anyone can build a hotel and furnish it nicely, equip it with anything you might possibly need to make your stay more pleasant. Some can have a fantastic location close to the action, and some great restaurants. But nobody I have ever come across in any hotel of any class anywhere in the world has people like those at the Elegance Diamond. The staff are just phenomenal from the porters to the French Chef, the service is outstanding from check in to check out. There is a pride and a professionalism there that has to be experienced to be believed. And there is a genuine desire on the part of the staff that your stay be as pleasant as possible. We loved it.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
From the second we checked in the staff could not have been more helpful. From giving us a free room upgrade twice (we stayed there twice) to just helping us out with recommendations or arranging taxis.
The rooms are absolutely superb we had a suite on a high floor which really was fantastic. Very nicely appointed with a great bathroom and shower too.
The hotel were kind enough to book a train to Hue for us, even securing us a discount on the published ticket price.
The service was truly impeccable, the hotel spotlessly clean and every single member of staff a joy to talk with. We asked room service for some milk for our coffee, and two minutes later there was a knock on the door. The lady then started to apologise profusely for having knocked as we had the Do Not Disturb sign on...brilliant..!
We have been fortunate enough to have stayed in some wonderful hotels around the world but none with the level of service quite like this. One thing I have never experienced is a hotel sending a member of staff with you in a tax to the train station. That member of staff then confirming your tickets, carrying your bags to the train, finding your cabin, putting your luggage away and then giving you a safety lesson on who to trust and who not to trust on the trains and the platforms. The cost for this service....nada, not a bean....only the taxi fare back to the hotel (and a good tip obviously).
Truly an amazing hotel.

Hanoi is a huge, bustling, noisy, frenetic city. We stayed in the Old Quarter right in the middle of the action. Crossing streets was worse than in Ho Chi Minh City, perhaps because there were more cars here. Walking the sidewalks was infinitely more difficult as sidewalks were usurped by scooters and motorbikes. Traffic was more chaotic, traffic …

Stylish Storage
From A Bath From Scratch, This Old House magazine, November 2005
You can never have too much storage space, but it's sometimes hard to fit it stylishly into a bathroom. That's why I love the custom-built, antique-looking vanities in this Cape Cod bathroom. They have enough drawers to keep extra towels, and stash away any accessories that would otherwise clutter the counter.

Lindsay Lohan wearing designer jeans
Lindsay Lohan in Double Denim
Spending time away from the rehabilitation center, Lindsay Lohan was seen out and about in Palm Desert, California doing some shopping. I have been wondering how Lindsay is doing in rehab and if she is coping ok. I'm wishing her the best because I really want her to get better, it's never nice watching someone deteriorate.
Lindsay was wearing a double denim outfit for her day out. She chose a pair of black skinny jeans which she paired with a dark blue denim shirt and combat boots. So many celebs are still opting for the double denim trend. I think since it has been brought to life again a while ago, it is here to stay! Having 2 shades of denim definitely makes it better than just one colour.
Lindsay Lohan in 7 For All Mankind
Lindsay Lohan was spotted heading into the Betty Ford Clinic rocking a red plaid shirt and gray 7 For All Mankind gummy denim leggings. Lindsay is looking better these days, not so paper thin and in such a rush when she's photographed. I don't think she looks 100% right yet, but she looks like she is putting in the effort.
At least she is keeping up with the style changes and wearing a pair of cute boots with her leggings. I can't imagine Lilo to ever fall behind on style though; her drug habits may have changed but I doubt her shopping habits ever will. Which is a good thing for us who love to blog her in denim! You can buy a range of 7 For All Mankind jeans at Boutique To You.
Guess Who Was Spotted Wearing Current/Elliott?
Guess who was spotted hiding from the paparazzi in a pair of Current/Elliott's?
Nicky Hilton in JET Jeans
Looks like the JET Thrashed jeans are having another moment. We recently spotted Lindsay Lohan, who was the first to be caught in them ever, wearing them as well. Now another JET fanatic was spotted wearing her pair to do a little shopping in and soon after I think the many celebrities will start sporting their pair like last time.
Nicky Hilton was spotted doing a little shopping with sister Paris in Los Angeles, California. Nicky was wearing the Thrashed pair by one of her favorite brands. I know why she decided to pull these out from her closet. I recently wore my Khaki skinny pair again and I just wonder how I ever took them off. They are so comfortable and soft, just like butter. They just slip on like nothing. Click here to purchase these jeans from their website for $188.

There are six categories: Let's Pretend, Movement, Body Parts, Classics, Silliness, and Workout. This game can be played as individuals or as a group. Either way it's loads of dancing fun. The cube has a storage pocket to store all the cards, which makes it easy to find all the pieces to this game. It's for two or more players and comes with 48 cards.
This game is for early movers and shakers. It encourages coordination, builds gross motor skills, works on balance, and is creative and gets kids moving.
Move & Groove is for ages 18 months and up.

First, let me say that I'm not sure if I would re-purchase this or not. If I found an amazing deal, maybe. It did a great job at cleansing my face, including removing makeup, but the scent is awful and bothers my lungs. Now that being said, if I use it in the shower I can handle it. Since it did such a nice job cleansing, it would be worth using again if I found it at a discounted price. PROS: good cleanser, removed makeup, nice packaging, reasonable price if smell doesn't bother you. CONS: scent is bothersome and irritates my lungs unless I use it in the shower.

Great basic gel cleanser for normal - combo skin. I can't use anything with sal. acid right now but this still manages to get my skin clean without drying it out. A toner may be needed afterwards for heavy makeup. Has calming ingredients to minimize irritation.
Good price point.

This is a good cleanser, especially for the price. The pump packaging is handy because I just leave this in the shower. I like the scent, and the way it foams. It's probably the best cleanser I've used that you can buy at Target, and the price is relatively cheap.

Nasty stuff! First of all, cleansing my face with this stuff was an absolute dread. The smell is very strong (like men's cologne) and it foams so much that it gets into your nostrils and mouth even if just a tiny amount was used. I wouldn't mind all this if it was actually effective. It dried out my skin big time (the corners of my mouth hurt when I opened my mouth after washing my face with this stuff) and I never felt like it rinsed clean. And this is primarily supposed to even your skin tone but in all honestly it did nothing for my acne marks. It also gave me little bumps all over my face. So bottom line, I was left with oily, parched, bumpy skin. I really doubt the ingredients in this stuff do any good. They just decided to throw in a bunch of exotic oils (which probably contributed to the bumps all over my face) as the primary ingredients and then add in a bunch a fragrance and drying alcohol and whatever else. All in all, ew...stay away from this stuff. I'm going back to my beloved Cetaphil.

PROS: Is supposed to stimulate cell regeneration to help correct uneven tone and it does help with that. Good suds to clean well. Doesn't bother my rosacea/sensitive skin as much as most lightening/evening products do. Natural ingredients.
CONS: May not be good for dry skin (but they have a cleansing milk.) Scent is strong. They took the beach smell and went somewhere a little different with it. This product doesn't smell as good as the other products in the "Advanced" line. It almost smells like men's cologne. ******EDIT: Ended up bothering my rosacea too much.
ALTERNATES: When my skin is more sensitive, I use Olay Sensitive Skin Foaming Face Wash. For gentle but effective skin lightening, I love Dr. Lewinn by Kinerase Skin Tone Perfecting Serum.

Does what a cleanser should do-- it cleans without making my skin worse. No miracles. It's very mild. I love the way it foams and the way it smells. Lasts a long time. I found it on vitacost.com for under $6.

I have used this regularly for several years. My skin is very sensitive and it does not cause me to break out. It says it gently foams and this is true--it's just right. To my nose the smell is neutral and mild and does not linger. What I like best about this cleanser is the way it makes my skin feel--clean but not dried out.

This is the only cleanser that works well for me. I have tried using other cleansers and I always seem to come back to this one. Cleans well and does not make my dry skin worse.

Made my skin break out. Horribly. I know because this was the only change I made to my skincare routine and I haven't been eating sweets (which make me break out). If you have sensitive skin like me, avoid. I should have known since this stuff is loaded with fragrance (and not a good smelling one, either).

I love that this is a good for you, good for the planet product. It works well for every day cleansing, lathers well, removes makeup, etc. The scent took a little getting used to but I will definitely repurchase.

The front rows are full of A-listers. The champagne is flowing. The Instagrams are coming fast and furious. And — oh yeah! — there's actually stuff on the runway that we want to discuss. Below, three things you should check out from the extremely glam London Fashion Week.
Big hair at L'Wren Scott: For her London Fashion Week debut, the model-turned-designer made a big statement — and not just with her rocker-chic collection. Her models walked down the runway wearing pulled-back hair that exploded into a frizzy ponytail. Between this '70s-glam style and the giant hair at Marc by Marc Jacobs in N.Y.C., we're excited to have a fashionable excuse to let our hair go crazy this fall.
Tom Ford's gloriously graphic gowns: Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel weren't the only ones impressed by the perpetually fab designer's fall looks. From intricate zebra print to dazzling citrus gowns that packed a punch, fashion editors were falling over themselves wondering who would brave one of these babies at the Oscars.
Mulberry's cheerful bags: As if we weren't already coveting a Mulberry purse, the line sent out yummy, luxe-looking satchels in shades of lemon meringue and forest green. They're so delightful, we're ready to forgo any new purchases throughout spring and summer so we can refresh our wardrobe with them this fall.
Tell us: What do you think of London Fashion Week so far? What was your favorite runway moment?

Man Who Tried to Rescue Dog May Face Charges in Marion County
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on June 09, 2013 @ 11:47PM
Created on June 09, 2013 @ 9:05PM
You may have heard about a dog that was rescued Saturday at Valley Falls State Park in Marion County.
Now, the men who tried to rescue the dog may face charges.
A man was apparently walking his dog in the river when the dog got pulled away by the current.
While firefighters were on the way to rescue the dog, a fisherman supposedly attempted to swim to the dog and save him.
The current was too strong though and firefighters needed to rescue the fisherman and the dog.
The Park Superintendent is still deciding whether to press charges because swimming isn't allowed in that area.
The Marion County Sheriff's Department is investigating.

Decoding the Label
The critical measurement of a compressor's capability is how much air it can move, expressed in cubic feet per minute (cfm). Its label will specify a cfm at 90 psi, the pressure needed to run most tools, and a cfm at 40 psi for low-pressure tools, such as paint sprayers. Make sure the cfm requirement of an air tool is at least 10 percent less than the compressor's output. Otherwise, the pump will wear out a whole lot sooner. Higher-horsepower pumps fill the tank faster (but weigh more). Compressors with bigger-gallon tanks hold pressure longer (and consume more power). But when it comes to performance, cfm is still the bottom line.
Brad/pin/finish nailer: 0.3?2
CFM Ranges (@90 psi) For Common Air Tools:

Getting on with life despite devastating emotions
When I receive emails from people who are in crisis, most of the time they want to know how they can get rid of the painful emotions they are experiencing.
"My son has been arrested for dealing drugs, and I had no idea he even knew about drugs! I'm embarrassed, shocked, ashamed, and angry. How do I stop feeling this way so I can get on with my life again?"
"My wife died two months ago and I'm still overwhelmed by sadness. I feel like I've lost my way in the world. How do I move through grief faster so I can have a life again?"
The assumption implicit in these questions is, "Painful feelings are bad and I need to get rid of them as soon as possible in order to get on with life."
Because of this assumption, we may try to get rid of our feelings in a variety of ways: avoiding them, suppressing them, resisting them, or wishing they would hurry up and be over. This effort is a natural thing to do, since nobody likes pain.
The problem is that all of those resistance activities, while they might work in the short run, may magnify the feelings overall. There are two parts to this magnification mechanism:
1) The more we try not to think about something ("I'm not going to think about my grief,") the more we think about it; and,
2) Because we are thinking more about the painful feelings, we may start to add to them with thoughts such as, "This is the worst pain ever. I can't stand this."
Dropping the rope
Russ Harris, author of The Happiness Trap, likens this process to being in a tug-o-war with a monster who is trying to pull you into a pit. You pull as hard as you can against the monster of your painful feelings, only to find that the monster grows stronger each time you pull. What should you do? Pull even harder?
How about if you drop the rope?
This does not mean you give up and don't take action when it is necessary. This is about letting go of the resistance to your painful feelings so they don't pull you further into a pit.
Finding out your son is a drug dealer and losing your wife to cancer are life-shattering events. Painful feelings are sure to arise. Allow them to do so.
And, take action when it is needed.
Perhaps you'll want to learn more about drugs and addiction so you'll know how to best help your son. Maybe you'll want to join a grief group or see a therapist for support during your time of mourning.
The bottom line with life-altering traumatic events, as well as merely stressful everyday events, is that we may get too caught up in our minds with the negative thoughts and in our hearts where the painful feelings roil and stew.
With both severe and moderate crises, we can "drop the rope" by acknowledging that our thoughts aren't particularly helpful right now and letting them go by, like leaves floating on a stream, and by allowing our feelings to just be rather than trying to get them to stop or leave.
By not resisting our experience, we may have access to more inner resources to creatively approach the problem facing us and take an active approach to solving it or figuring out a way to make it through a particularly difficult time.
What are your thoughts about these ideas? Is it hard to separate taking positive action from using negative avoidance strategies?
This is the last in a four-post series about learning to live a rich, meaningful, values-based life despite the challenges that life inevitably brings us, be they everyday annoyances or full-scale disasters. If you missed the first three posts, check them out here:

Great post as usual, Bobbie.
It *is* difficult to distinguish negative avoidance strategies from positive actions. The imperative to avoid emotional pain and the drive to be happy and productive are so strong in our culture that they tend to obscure the difference.
Your posts help to explain that our emotions themselves are not the problem. They're merely a symptom of something important that needs our attention.
Sorry to have misspelled your name, Bobbi!
Great post on dealing with negative emotions, I definitely agree it's better to work through them than to avoid them.
Hi Bobbie,
I haven't been around your blog for a while. Or around any other blog for that matter. It's a busy time.
But here I am, and read your words, and resonate deeply, and… this is weird: I sent out a Grief To Growth article today that would be my answer to "What are your thoughts about these ideas?".
It's good to see how the allowing is spreading everywhere. Perhaps, eventually, more people dare to trust it…
Allowing is the most powerful magic I know of. And it doesn't prevent action at all. On the contrary – it inspires it.
Thank you Bobbi!
. Your favourite jifiistcatuon seemed to be at the net the simplest thing to bear in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed at the same time as other people consider concerns that they plainly don't know about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as well as outlined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks!
I'm quite pleased with the information in this one. TY!

Civil rights exist to protect every race, gender, age, and religion from discrimination. Civil rights movements have occurred throughout history promoting these freedoms, but there is still much to fight for.
It is important to demonstrate the value of learning and accepting a different culture. Fortunately, many organizations exist to teach us that everyone deserves the same freedoms, regardless of what they believe or the color of their skin.
You can help promote tolerance in your community, too. Get involved now by finding a civil rights nonprofit near you.

Stayed 2 nights as part of Gate 1 tour. Hotel is located on a cliff with a wonderful view of the ocean. Excellent dinner and breakfast buffet (best of the tour) with many hot dishes. Rooms were spacious with a nice decor.
tip: To go into town, just go up the steps to the main road and a dolma bus will stop by (wave if needed. no more than 5 lira). Just tell the driver you are going to the center. Remember the drop off location. Then take the bus back and be sure to call your stop loudly so the driver can hear you. Pay when you get on the bus. Do not be afraid to ask for help if needed. Staff at check in desk can give you a map of the town with the bus route.

Classification error is analyzed for a situation where the number of possible classes may be on the order of a hundred or more. The error associated with classifying to a single class is shown to depend mainly on average nearest-neighbor distance between class means, noise level, and effective dimensionality of the class mean distribution and not much on other aspects of the distribution, noise correlation, or number of classes. Since single class error is large, separation of classes into groups is also explored. Group classification error has the same properties as single class error but the size of the error is moderated by the Bayes overlap between groups. Standard curves are provided to predict single class and group error. Also discussed are the effect of pattern blurring on classification error and the nearest-neighbor distance statistics throughout a distribution.

Rat poison to drench Aussie holiday island
- January 14, 2010
- Rats causing environmental damage
- Plans to drop poison from helicopter
- Wildlife would be 'locked up'
AUTHORITIES on Lord Howe, a picturesque Pacific island 800km off the coast of Sydney, are planning an ambitious program to rid the World Heritage-listed site of its nuisance rat population.
Accidentally introduced to the island via a ship in 1918, black rats are now widespread on Lord Howe and have been implicated in the extinction of five endemic bird species, as well as the decline of a number of other native and exotic birds.
They are also a threat to the tourism industry on the remote beauty spot, which prides itself on its pristine image and boasts a population of just 350 permanent residents.
Under a new plan to get rid of the rats once and for all, The Lord Howe Island Board has proposed drenching the 35 sq km land area with 42 tonnes of poison-laced bait dropped from helicopters.
The initiative, which has yet to be approved, would see local wildlife protected from toxins, with bird populations caught and kept in cages for 100 days during the extermination, and cows and chickens shipped to the mainland beforehand.
Dog owners would also be offered muzzles for their pets and parents would be advised to keep a close guard on their children.
Stephen Willis, chief executive of the island board, admitted the plan was radical, but added that there was no other option if the rats are to be overcome.
"This is one of the most beautiful places in the world, which is why it warrants such a significant and detailed program," he told London's Independent newspaper.
Mr Wills admits that while most locals want to get rid of the rats, there is concern the plan may not work.
"The poison exposes the island, its environment and the people to a great deal of danger," resident Clive Wilson told the Sydney Morning Herald.
"I think they will do a lot of damage and in the end there will still be rats."
The board hopes the total eradication of rodents will provide an opportunity to re-introduce locally extinct species, such as the Lord Howe Island Phasmid, which was driven off the island in the 1920s.

Do some research - draft plan available at http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/pestsweeds/IntroducedRats.htm The rats have become resistant to regular baiting methods and also threaten the main industry (apart from tourism) of the island which is the export of kentia palm seeds. Numerous experts outside the government have been consulted including Tim Flannery. Similar programs have been carried out successfully on more than 300 other islands around the world.

I'm not sure but are there any native rats/mice that live on the island? surely they will succumb to the poison as well. for the people who have suggested introducing cats and dogs to kill the rats, tsk! as if they wouldn't start preying on the native species as well!

autoimmune condition that affects the muscles and various other parts of the body. The signs and symptoms can vary but may include muscle inflammation (myositis), polyarthritis (inflammation of many joints), interstitial lung disease, thickening and cracking of the hands, and Raynaud phenomenon. The exact underlying cause is unknown; however, the production of autoantibodies (antibodies that attack normal cells) that attack certain enzymes in the body called 'aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases' appears to be linked to the cause of the syndrome. These autoantibodies may arise after viral infections, or patients may have a genetic predisposition. Treatment is based on the signs and symptoms present in each person but may include corticosteroids, immunosuppressive medications, and/or physical therapy.[1][2][3][4]Antisynthetase syndrome is a chronic

Bruce Willis has fourth daughter as second wife Emma Heming gives birth
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- April 03, 2012
AT 57-years-old, Bruce Willis has become a father for the fourth time.
The actor - who has daughters Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and 18-year-old Tallulah with ex-wife Demi Moore - and his 33-year-old wife Emma Heming Willis are "overjoyed" at the arrival of Mabel Ray Willis, who was born on April 1, his representative has confirmed.
Pictures: Meet Bruce Willis' extended family
Both Emma and Mabel Ray - who weighed in at 9lb 1oz - are said to be doing well.
Bruce had previously claimed he was indifferent to having children with Emma - who he married in March 2009 - as the only thing that mattered was being with her.
"I'd like to have a thousand more children, or zero more children. It doesn't matter. Emma makes me feel great," he said.
Bruce also revealed how meeting and falling in love with the British lingerie model turned his life around.
"I'm the happiest I've ever been and this comes after a long period of being kind of lonely, even though I tried to convince myself I was enjoying my life," he said.
"Before I met Emma I was very pessimistic about finding that special woman with whom I would want to spend my life with.
"I thought it would be difficult for someone like me, who is well known, to find a woman who didn't have an agenda and who just wanted to be with me because they loved me, pure and simple."

Hurricane Lane slammed into a sparsely populated stretch of Mexico's Pacific coast south of the city of Culiacan on Saturday after battering the resort of Mazatlan with strong winds and rain.
The storm, which hit land at Category 3 strength, flooded streets, forced the airport to cancel flights and knocked out power in parts of Mazatlan, a resort and retirement community popular among Americans. It forced officials to cancel the traditional Independence Day parade. After it made landfall, the National Hurricane Center in Miami downgraded it to a Category 1 storm.
At 8 p.m. Saturday evening, Lane was centered about 30 miles southeast of Culiacan and 110 miles northwest of Mazatlan. It was moving north at 9 mph and had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph.
The storm was expected to hit Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state and a center for the region's booming agriculture and food-processing industry. The city of 750,000 is also notorious as the hometown of several of Mexico's top drug traffickers.
Earlier, the hurricane took an unexpected turn toward the mainland and caught Mazatlan off guard. Many awoke to strong winds and a pounding rain. Previous projections had Lane heading toward the Baja California peninsula.
There was no electricity early Saturday at the Hotel Royal Villas, where receptionist Alma Baldez and other employees scurried to hand out candles to guests taking refuge in their rooms. Many had just arrived at the hotel after a long night celebrating Mexico's Independence Day. City officials canceled Saturday's celebrations as the storm approached.
"It's really ugly out there," Baldez said.
Earlier this week, rains lashed coastal towns to the south, causing a landslide that killed a 7-year-old boy Thursday in Acapulco and flooding across western Mexico that forced hundreds of people to abandon their homes.
It was the second hurricane to menace the region recently. Two weeks ago, Hurricane John unleashed wind and rain on Cabo San Lucas, a remote enclave on the Baja California's southern tip. Though the storm did not directly hit the resort famous for deep-sea fishing, world-class golf courses and pristine beaches, it killed five people and damaged highways and homes in the region.
The peninsula, however, appeared to escape Hurricane Lane's wrath. Dan McGonagle, a 46-year-old salesman from Littleton, Colorado, 46, walked along the marina of Cabo San Lucas early Saturday, looking out on cloudy skies. It wasn't even raining, but many stores still had their windows covered with wood.
"It's a relief," he said. "It could have been really scary. I mean they had sandbags out and were preparing for flooding at the hotel."
Some airlines canceled flights out of the peninsula on Saturday.
Also Saturday, Tropical Storm Miriam formed way out in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Mexico's Baja California peninsula, the National Hurricane Center said.

Neotropical orchid bees (Euglossini) are conspicuously different from other corbiculate bees (Apinae) in their lack of advanced sociality and in male use of acquired odors (fragrances) as pheromone-analogues. In both contexts, orchid bee mating systems, in particular the number of males a female mates with, are of great interest but are currently unknown. To assess female mating frequency in the genus Euglossa, we obtained nests from three species in Mexico and Panama and genotyped mothers and their brood at microsatellite DNA loci. In 26 out of 29 nests, genotypes of female brood were fully consistent with being descended from a singly mated mother. In nests with more than one adult female present, those adult females were frequently related, with genotypes being consistent with full sister–sister (r = 0.75) or mother–daughter (r = 0.5) relationships. Thus, our genetic data support the notions of female philopatry and nest-reuse in the genus Euglossa. Theoretically, single mating should promote the evolution of eusociality by maximizing the relatedness among individuals in a nest. However, in Euglossini this genetic incentive has not led to the formation of eusocial colonies as in other corbiculate bees, presumably due to differing ecological or physiological selective regimes. Finally, monandry in orchid bees is in agreement with the theory that females select a single best mate based on the male fragrance phenotype, which may contain information on male age, cognitive ability, and competitive strength.
