This is my first My Chemical Romance story and I have no idea whether it is any good or not *Pouts* If you guys could help me out that would be great, thank you! This story is mostly a Frerard one, but it will focus more on the friend relationship first, then build up over time and it focuses on the band too, (Mikey + Ray) Thanks for reading everyone ^_^
Chapter 1: Turn Away, Your Awful For Others To See.
All it took to wake me up was a loud thump of something hitting the floor and along with that, came the slam of a loud door shortly afterwards. I shot upright in my bed and looked around the dorm room, a huge rucksack had been thrown to the floor by the other bed on the other side of the room and the bathroom door had been slammed shut. I swallowed hard.
My newest room mate was here at last.
Look alive, sunshine. You have to look alive to the world.
I ran a hand through my thick black hair which was in desperate need of a cut and wash and I stood, stretching. I had been waiting for the new kid all afternoon and that was not how I wanted to spend my Sunday, I checked my watch and realised that I had been sleeping for 4 hours straight. So, I probably looked like hell.
I glanced in the mirror and my assumptions were correct, the under-circles of my eyes had started to go a deep red and my stomach grumbled in need for food.
Pulling my dark covers up to the pillows on my single bed, my new mysterious room-mate returned from the bathroom and went over to his bag, searching for something, keeping his back to me (Probably on purpose, he didn't want to look at you Gerard, no-one wanted that...)
I tapped his shoulder from behind, ignoring my conscience and he gasped before turning around, stunned. Hadn't he noticed that I was here? I looked him over, ah – headphones. He ripped them out his ears and flashed me a small, nervous smile.
I held out my hand to escape the awkwardness, also to create a little gap between our bodies. "I'm Gerard, Gerard Way. Your room-mate I assume," I said to him nervously. He was...Staring at me with lost, blank eyes and he was insanely pale, like me in that department, he wore red eye-liner that rimmed his eyes and his hair was slightly messy, but short.
"I-I'm Frank, Frank I-Iero." He replied, practically shaking in front of me as he shook my hand rather weakly before turning away and shoving on a black tight jacket-hoodie type of thing over his long sleeved black tight shirt, which had an unusual dark grey pattern over it, paired with it Frank wore black skinny-jeans, like me.
He didn't say anything else before he grabbed a notebook, shoved it into an inside pocket of his hoodie, along with a pen before he walked out of the dorm and down the stairs to the rest of the school campus. Wait, what just happened?
I got the urge to look through Frank's belongings that he had brought with him but I decided quickly to go against it. That was completely wrong, Gerard! You perverted bastard! I shouted at himself mentally for it. To distract myself I went to the bathroom, washed my hands and face, dried off my hands and I hummed a little song that I had been working on. Yes, I wrote songs, problem? I didn't think so...
I needed something to escape this stupid hell-hole that my parents had forced me and Mikey to go to. Apparently it would do us some good, to go to a boarding school instead of a public one. That's just because at the last school Mikey and I had mixed with the 'wrong-crowd' and it almost ended up in us being killed. Here? We get pushed around like dirt. Which is better?
Getting high off your face, so you can forget all the crazy shit that's going on...Or, getting beaten the crap out of so you pass out and then forget about it because you're temporarily 'out of it'?
I shoved on my black hoodie, quite similar to Frank's and I shoved in my headphones, zipped it up before making my way over to Mikey's dorm, I needed some brother bonding time. Maybe his new room-mate decided to show up too?

First of all, you can try this code yourself using the GitHub repo I created for this. Just clone the repository and run node header.
node header
(Spoiler, if you're reading this and are under time pressure to get something to work and not in the mood to learn ( :( ), there is a simpler solution at the end)
This is a great question. What you are asking for is very possible and no clientside is needed, just a deeper understanding of how the HTTP protocol works while showing how node.js rocks :)
This can be made easy if we go one level deeper to the underlying TCP protocol and process the HTTP requests ourselves for this specific case. Node.js lets you do this easily using the built in net module.
First, let's look at how HTTP requests work.
An HTTP request consists of a headers section in the general format of key:value pairs seperated by CRLF (\r\n). We know that the header section ended when we reach a double CRLF (that is \r\n\r\n).
A typical HTTP GET request might look something like this:
GET /resource HTTP/1.1
Cache-Control: no-cache
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0
The top part before the 'empty line' is the headers section and the bottom part is the body of the request. Your request will look a bit differently in the body section since it is encoded with multipart/form-data but the header will remain similarLet's explore how this applies to us.
We can listen to the raw request in TCP and read the packets we get until we read that double crlf we talked about. Then we will check the short header section which we already have for whatever validation we need. After we do that, we can either end the request if validation did not pass (For example by simply ending the TCP connection), or pass it through. This allows us to not receive or read the request body, but just the headers which are much smaller.
One easy way to embed this into an already existing application is to proxy requests from it to the actual HTTP server for the specific use case.
This solution is as bare bones as it gets. It is just a suggestion.
Here is the work flow:
We require the net module in node.js which allows us to create tcp servers in node.js
Create a TCP server using the net module which will listen to data: var tcpServer = net.createServer(function (socket) {... . Don't forget to tell it to listen to the correct port
var tcpServer = net.createServer(function (socket) {...
A method for reading the headers:
function readHeaders(headers) {
var parsedHeaders = {};
var previous = "";
headers.forEach(function (val) {
// check if the next line is actually continuing a header from previous line
if (isContinuation(val)) {
if (previous !== "") {
parsedHeaders[previous] += decodeURIComponent(val.trimLeft());
} else {
throw new Exception("continuation, but no previous header");
// parse a header that looks like : "name: SP value".
var index = val.indexOf(":");
if (index === -1) {
throw new Exception("bad header structure: ");
var head = val.substr(0, index).toLowerCase();
var value = val.substr(index + 1).trimLeft();
previous = head;
if (value !== "") {
parsedHeaders[head] = decodeURIComponent(value);
} else {
parsedHeaders[head] = null;
return parsedHeaders;
A method for checking double CRLF in a buffer you get on a data event, and return its location if it exists in an object:
function checkForCRLF(data) {
if (!Buffer.isBuffer(data)) {
data = new Buffer(data,"utf-8");
for (var i = 0; i < data.length - 1; i++) {
if (data[i] === 13) { //\r
if (data[i + 1] === 10) { //\n
if (i + 3 < data.length && data[i + 2] === 13 && data[i + 3] === 10) {
return { loc: i, after: i + 4 };
} else if (data[i] === 10) { //\n
if (data[i + 1] === 10) { //\n
return { loc: i, after: i + 2 };
return { loc: -1, after: -1337 };
And this small utility method:
function isContinuation(str) {
return str.charAt(0) === " " || str.charAt(0) === "\t";
var net = require("net"); // To use the node net module for TCP server. Node has equivalent modules for secure communication if you'd like to use HTTPS
//Create the server
var server = net.createServer(function(socket){ // Create a TCP server
var req = []; //buffers so far, to save the data in case the headers don't arrive in a single packet
req.push(data); // add the new buffer
var check = checkForCRLF(data);
if(check.loc !== -1){ // This means we got to the end of the headers!
var dataUpToHeaders= req.map(function(x){
return x.toString();//get buffer strings
//get data up to /r/n
dataUpToHeaders = dataUpToHeaders.substring(0,check.after);
//split by line
var headerList = dataUpToHeaders.trim().split("\r\n");
headerList.shift() ;// remove the request line itself, eg GET / HTTP1.1
console.log("Got headers!");
//Read the headers
var headerObject = readHeaders(headerList);
//Get the header with your token
// Now perform all checks you need for it
//continue reading request body, and pass control to whatever logic you want!
}).listen(8080); // listen to port 8080 for the sake of the example
If you have any questions feel free to ask :)
But what's the fun in that? If you skipped here initially, you wouldn't learn how HTTP works :)
Node.js has a built in http module. Since requests are chunked by nature in node.js, especially long requests, you can implement the same thing without the more advanced understanding of the protocol.
This time, let's use the http module to create an http server
server = http.createServer( function(req, res) { //create an HTTP server
// The parameters are request/response objects
// check if method is post, and the headers contain your value.
// The connection was established but the body wasn't sent yet,
// More information on how this works is in the above solution
var specialRequest = (req.method == "POST") && req.headers["YourHeader"] === "YourTokenValue";
if(specialRequest ){ // detect requests for special treatment
// same as TCP direct solution add chunks
//handle a chunk of the message body
res.end(); // abort the underlying TCP connection, since the request and response use the same TCP connection this will work
//req.destroy() // destroy the request in a non-clean matter, probably not what you want.
This is based on the fact the request handle in a nodejs http module actually hooks on after the headers were sent (but nothing else was performed) by default. (this in the server module , this in the parser module)
User igorw suggested a somewhat cleaner solution using the 100 Continue header assuming browsers you're targeting supports it. 100 Continue is a status code designed to do exactly what you're attempting to:
100 Continue
The purpose of the 100 (Continue) status (see section 10.1.1) is to
allow a client that is sending a request message with a request body
to determine if the origin server is willing to accept the request
(based on the request headers) before the client sends the request
body. In some cases, it might either be inappropriate or highly
inefficient for the client to send the body if the server will reject
the message without looking at the body.

the message without looking at the body.
Here it is :
var http = require('http');
function handle(req, rep) {
req.pipe(process.stdout); // pipe the request to the output stream for further handling
req.on('end', function () {
var server = new http.Server();
server.on('checkContinue', function (req, rep) {
if (!req.headers['x-foo']) {
console.log('did not have foo');
handle(req, rep);
You can see sample input/output here. This would require your request to fire with the appropriate Expect: header.
Use javascript. Submit a pre-form via ajax when user clicks submit, wait for the ajax response, then when it comes back successful or not, submit the actual form. You can also have a fallback to the method you don't want which is better than nothing.
Send this file:
I suggest you to use some client side plugins to upload files. You could use
Both plugins have provision to check file size before uploading.
If you want to use your own scripts, check this. This may help you
function readfile()
var files = document.getElementById("fileForUpload").files;
var output = [];
for (var i = 0, f; f = files[i]; i++)
if(f.size < 100000) // Check file size of file
// Your code for upload
alert('File size exceeds upload size limit');
It sounds like you're trying to stream the upload and need to validate before processing:
Does this help?
Previous version was somewhat vague. So I've rewritten the code to show the difference between route handling and middleware. Middlewares are executed for every request. They are executed in the order they are given. express.bodyParser() is the middleware which handles file upload, which you should skip, for incorrect tokens. mymiddleware simply checks for tokens and terminates invalid requests. This must be done before express.bodyParser() is executed.
var express = require('express'),
app = express();
app.use(mymiddleware); //This will work for you.
app.use(express.bodyParser()); //You want to avoid this
app.listen(8080, "127.0.0.1");
app.post('/upload',uploadhandler); //Too late. File already uploaded
function mymiddleware(req,res,next){ //Middleware
if (req.method === 'GET')
else if (req.method === 'POST' && req.query.token === 'XXXXXX')
function uploadhandler(req,res){ //Route handler
if (req.query.token === 'XXXXXX')
uploadhandler on the other hand cannot interrupt the upload as it has been processed by express.bodyParser() already. It just processes the POST request. Hope this helps.
One way to bypass PHP's post handling is to route the request through PHP-CLI. Create the following CGI script and try uploading a large file to it. The web server should respond by killing the connection. If it does, then it's just a matter of opening an internal socket connection and sending the data to the actual location--provided that conditions are met, of course.
Why dont you just use the APC file upload progress and set the progress key as the key for the APC file upload so in that case the form is submitted and the upload progress will start initially but then at the first progress check you will verify the key and if its not correct you will interrupt everything:
This is a more native approach of doing it. Roughly the same, just change the key of the hidden input to your token and validate that and interrupt the connection in case of an error. Maybe thats even better.

Great Quality, great price
High quality merino wool for a great price.
poor quality
Ripped after one time use. going back
Comfortable but wears out fast
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After a year of moderate use this shirt is full of little holes which I keep on darning, but will probably stop now & let it fall apart. It also tends to stink after just one or two wearings--faster than my other merino shirts. I'm afraid that I'm going with other brands such as Ibex now.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This is a great base layer. The zip lets you lose a bunch of extra heat in a pinch, and the thumb holes are great so the sleeves stay sleevin'. I have gotten a hole in mine after a while on the wrist since it is thin material but it was only after extreme abuse. definitely would buy, wish i had gotten it this much on sale!
Weak Sauce
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I had high hopes for this merino base layer from Stoic, but it failed to deliver. When I first put it on it was slightly itchy, which made me feel like the wool wasn't the greatest quality. After wearing it for a while the itchiness went away, but I think it was just because I got used to it. My other merino products aren't nearly as itchy. I wore this on a backpacking trip and ended up wearing it by itself most of the time due to the weather being quite warm. It did breathe well and was comfortable even at temperatures in the high 60's. As other reviewers have stated, the shirt gets holes wicked easy. After the first day I had holes in the wrist area on one sleeve. I'm not even sure how they got there as I was wearing a jacket most of the first day. More holes appeared near the belt buckle for my pack. The shirt must have snagged in the buckle. If you use it as a base layer for cold weather activities where it will be protected, it may be just fine. However, I can't imagine that it won't snag on something at some point and get a hole no matter how easy you take it on this shirt. The shirt did seem to breath well and dried fairly quickly. It also performed well at resisting odors. All in all, I don't see this product holding up well in any situation. It looks good and performs well enough. However, it won't hold up against normal wear and so I don't see it lasting very long.
Love the Stoic Merino
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: x-large
Very comfy. Can't go wrong with the stoic prices!
For my hubby
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: x-large
I bought this shirt for my husband, but I can relay what he has expressed so far. He loves it! Its breathable and comfortable. He's a sweater once we really get moving on our hikes and climbs, so he loves the fact that he doesn't get over heated and sopping wet.
My point of view from a esthetic point, he looks crazy sexy! It fits him snug in his most attractive places (arms, chest and back) and is a little looser around the belly (he loves his IPA). All and all its a win, win!
One Premium Shirt!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This thing is amazing! Super comfortable, incredibly insulating and an awesome fit. Cant wait to buy more.
Looks Great but Weak Quality
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs small
I loved the feel and look of the Stoic Merino long sleeve when it first arrived. But after wearing it about 10 times over the first couple of months, the material started to tear at weak points. I eventually returned the product after finding holes along the shoulder from it hanging in my closet. Solid design with merino wool but poor execution in quality, especially for the price.
Agree w/ Aaron - I wore my yellow/green Bliss shirt just a few times in 2014 (maybe 20 total riding days) then went to put it on late Jan 2015 and riiiiiiip - tear in the sleeve by the thumbhole. I'm not out trashing my gear or wearing it daily for yucks, so I'm bummed about this ...a killer looking shirt. Hoping BC will stand by product and allow a return. Maybe the newer version is better material (?). I'd expect this type of thing from Sierra Trading Post, not a BC.com product, so I'm bummed and hoping this is not the new trend, maybe just one bad apple.
Stoic levels are high!
This shirt has been my go to for the past year from summer hikes to ski touring! This photo is in front of Annapurna II in Nepal.
Awesome picture Derrik!!!
I selected this image to feature on the Community Hub at the bottom of the Backcountry.com homepage! Congrats on being amazingly GOATWORTHY !!
Decent layer, not well built
Decent base layer, but it tore withing 3 days of use. Small tear near the waste line, disappointing for it to wear out so quickly.
Solid shirt
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Solid shirt for skiing or skinning.
Great Shirts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I bought a 200 series a while back, and loved it. Upon seeing new colors, I picked up two of the 150 series. These shirts are great. You can wear them multiple times without having to worry about them smelling funky. I've worn them as a snowboarding baselayer, to work, around town, and on the plane. The chest pocket is perfect for an small ipod and the thumbholes keep it from bunching up when putting on a tighter jacket or sweatshirt. If you're looking for a warm, comfortable shirt, then look no further. Steepandcheap has these on sale quite often.
I'm 5'10", 180lbs, 41" chest, 33" waist and a large fits like a well-tailored dress shirt.
Stoic Merino Bliss 150 Shirt
Grays Peak, CO
The final stretch.
Quality merino!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Stoic puts out a quality product in the Merino Bliss 150. The quality and feel of the wool is on part with other brands of higher price. Considering you can find these on Department of Goods in the neighborhood of $20 makes these things an unbeatable value! I've picked up quite a few of these over the last year due to their quality/value.
Fit is appropriate to size, and a nice athletic fit keeps things tidy. See the sizing chart and match your measurements accordingly. You can then order with confidence and piece of mind.
Feature set is pretty limited (as it should be) but I'd like to see a thumb loop on the sleeves. When throwing on a fleece lined shell the sleeves are prone to ride up.
Great Fit and Super Useful
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I started using this shirt a month ago in the New England area and it has worked wonders. It is a great base layer for the cold with a fleece or down coat over it. The high neck is great when I am wearing my down jacket which has a smaller, less protective collar. The long zipper is solid for dumping heat quickly and the thumb holes make for a tight, trim fit down past the wrist. I am 6'3'', 215 lbs and the XL has a tight, but athletic fit.
Too Baggy.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs large
The quality of this shirt was great, and I really wanted to like it and keep it, but the shirt fit really sloppy, and looked too long and baggy for me to keep. I'm 5'9" 138 lbs. with a 38" chest, and thus a medium should have fit me perfectly, but it didn't. Back to my endless search for a good fall merino hiking shirt.
Stavros, Sorry, you ordered the wrong size. 36-38 is still a Small. 38-40 would only be a Medium in Athletic or Euro fit shirts. Have Backcountry send you a Small. I can almost guarantee the shirt will fit you. I have the other problem, but I'll have to make do with a XXL (Losing weight, so the XXL will fit in < 2 months)and hope you were correct when you said the shirt ran large....
I just got the Stoic shirt 2 days ago & have been wearing it since. it fits great! Stavros, You are correct - It runs large. Order the Small, and you'll be golden...
Well Worth the Money
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I've been wearing this shirt, and the short sleeved versions, for quite a while now. Several cold, wet and snowy seasons here in Alaska. I mainly use it for daily bike commuting, hiking and camping. I bike most days in the fall and a lot in winter and it is always comfy, doesn't stink and a small fits me well. (I'm 5'8" and 145lbs) I've owned lots of wooly shirts from all the major brands and the Stoic shirts have stayed in use the longest without getting holes or stinking. I also like the thumb holes and the longer sleeves for keeping crap from getting up my arm.
One recommendation would be to use some of the special wool wash occasionally as all my wool shirts, these included, eventually do get a little rough or scratchy. Otherwise I wash them with the regular laundry.
Well worth the money and generally way cheaper than Icebreaker, Ibis etc...
The Best Shirt Period
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This shirt gets it right. Good neck coverage, deep zipper for dumping heat, chest pocket for gu/chapstick/topo etc, thumb loops (!!!) and enough length to stay put. With the deep zipper and ability to roll the sleves up, this thing can be every bit as cool as a T shirt and if you throw a 4oz windbreaker (ala patagucci houdini or rab cirrus or arcteryx squamish) over the top of it, the system can get you through some seriously gnarly weather. Stoic's wool quality is top notch (as good as ibex, smartwool, icebreaker...yes, I have them all) and while sometimes the company suffers from fit/construction probelms, these shirts are absolutely dialed in. I have three of them and wear them every time I'm hiking/climbing/skiing. Buy a few, get off your computer and get outside! I'm 42" chest, 34" arms, 33" waist and wear a large.
Is the Stoic Merino Bliss 150-Long Sleeve-Men's in size Medium in Deep/Shale on sale?
I wear large patagonia. How do you compare?
For temp control I like to be able to roll...
For temp control I like to be able to roll up my sleeves. Are the sleeves stretchy enough to pull up above your elbows?
Not really. If you wear it relatively snugly, they'll only pull up to mid-forearm. With that said, though, the quarter zip and pulling the sleeves up a bit offers some good temp control.
Hi: Have some one can help me? I'm 182cm...
Have some one can help me? I'm 182cm tall and 86kg,I don't want to wear too tight,so choice L or xl? AND the shirt will shrink?
You're about 2cm taller and 4kg lighter than me. The large fits me like a tight t-shirt, but not quite skin tight. You'd probably be swimming in an XL.
The shirt won't shrink if you follow washing instructions. Just keep it far, far away from the dryer.
Will the small size still be next-to-skin...
Will the small size still be next-to-skin if I'm 5'8 and 125lbs? It doesn't seem like it from what I gather.
The photos don't look very tight at all so this is a concern for me- I don't like loose fit.
I read a review below by wordsofglass and he says the small has baggy arms for him and he is a bit larger than I am.
Any other suggestions for Merino baselayer appreciated, especially with long sleeves that cover some of the hand. It would be nice not to have to resort to Womens's size.
This piece will be too big for you. I suggest trying Icebreaker . I have found their pieces to be more slim cut than Stoic.

Ok, so I know it's 17.5 micron, which tells me how soft it is, but anybody know the material weight (gm/m) and total garment weight (say, for a men's medium)? Thanks, sorry if I just missed it somewhere.
According to a BC rep, this is a 200 weight shirt.
Definitely not 200 weight!!
no way 200 wt. thinner than a Walmart T. That said though it rocks. Great 1st layer.
This is a 150 weight shirt -- I'm pretty sure all the Stoic merino tops include the material weight in the product name (Bliss 200, Merino 150, etc).

I have the Bliss short sleeve and it comes in solid colors, I have a charcoal shirt and I love it. Are we going to see this shirt offered in some solid colors sometime? I just can't get into the multi-color thing that this shirt has going on but I would love to have a couple of long sleeved Bliss shirts, the short sleeved one I have rocks.
Got solid black with yellow stitching.

is BC.com/Stoic thinking of making a hooded version of this anytime soon? I think that would be a perfect garment for the majority of conditions in which folks do stuff outdoors. I'd probably buy 2!
Request heard my good man, no promises but I'll pass it on.
Sweet! thank you!
+1 on the hood suggestion. Would make this the perfect base
Cutter (Backcountry's in-house cycling brand) makes a hooded merino top. I use the long sleeve version when skiing. It appears that they only sell a short sleeve now.
Does the "Black/ Red/ White" look as much...
Does the "Black/ Red/ White" look as much like Spiderman in real life as it does on the web? Are people comfortable wearing the shirt in situations where they'd be able to wear a different color? I know it's a base layer, but the shirt being so thin and wicking so well, it'd be a great only layer in the summer, too...
You are going to have a bit of spiderman steez going on with this shirt, but it may just give you that extra push to make things happen. seriously though, the pictures do the colors justice.
spiderman spiderman does whatever a spider can! If anything it will just help you out with your ability to get it done! Solid choice for an underlayer and a only layer for summer.
I'm 5' 10" and 155#. Do you think size...
I'm 5' 10" and 155#. Do you think size medium?
Yeah, I'd say a medium would fit you pretty well.
try a medium and a small. small would fit snug, but that's OK with a base layer.
I am pretty much the same size as you and I wear a medium that fits perfectly. great underlayer stoked on the stoic!
What are people's experiences with this...
What are people's experiences with this top in terms of layering. Is this top fine for nordic skiing at 20F? Is it only a baselayer and should have a top layer when it gets below a certain point? What are your thoughts?
This is the quintessential layering piece. Whether you use it as a base layer, midlayer, outer layer, or the only layer depends entirely on conditions and activity. When backpacking, I wear it as an outer layer over an ultralight merino base. This arrangement is good down below freezing as long as you stay active. Warmer layers go on top once I reach camp. For higher speed activities (biking, skiing), I like to have an outer layer that blocks the wind. Check out the rime and shift softshells. With these outer layers, it is sometimes too warm to keep the midweight merino, so i wear the softshell over the ultralight merino. If it is cold enough, i will wear all three layers. They key to layering is to have many different combinations available. For me, more often than not, this shirt is in my layering equation. But to answer your question more directly, this shirt alone will probably not be warm enough by itself for 20F nordic skiing.
I think you'd be ok in this thing for nordic in 20°F weather, as long as you keep moving. I sweat like crazy when exerting myself, even in cold weather. On a skin track, I strip down to the Bliss and some light gloves down to 10°F. If you get chilly, toss a windshirt over the top. Just be sure to layer up when you stop.
EDIT: Wow. Going around answering old questions today. Sorry!
I love my wool shirts but...I have an...
I love my wool shirts but...I have an icebreaker and after a year or so, the wrist cuffs seem to be stretching out from pushing them up during trail runs once I warm up...
Anyone have a longer-term durability review of the elastic in the sleaves of this woollie?
i dont have long term, but they fit much longer than my ice breaker did out of the box.
i just double checked mine. there is no elastic on the sleeves. they are straight, and have thumb holes, but the material itself is pretty stretchy.
isn't this prettymuch the same thing as...
isn't this prettymuch the same thing as the BC Merino baselayer?
Yeah it's pretty close. BC owns Stoic and have essentially the same people designing for Stoic.
this stoic bliss is a 17.5 micron which is softer hand, and even more comfortable, than the backcountry bliss of 18.8 micron. this material is the softest available, softer than smartwool, icebreaker. hell, its even softer than organic cotton!
The shirts are pretty similar, but the Stoic version is better in most ways. The collar is tighter, so you get less wind down the neck ( if you bike, row, or move quickly, this is a big deal ); also, the collar looks better folded down. The thumb holes are bigger, so you don't pull at the threading. The Stoic shirt is thinner, and a bit stretchier. But the easiest thing to notice is that it's softer.

Sketch realignment is a feature of this year's Fringe with various groups combining or downsizing, splintering off into solo ventures and so forth. The scene has never been so varied and there is something for even the most sceptical observer of the genre.
All-girl troupe Lady Garden are one example of this restructuring, having now metamorphosed into Birthday Girls, a three piece comprising of Beattie Edmondson (daughter of Jennifer Saunders and Adrian Edmondson), Rose Johnson and Camille Ucan.
The vivacious threesome's debut show has them as outlawed sketch performers in a dystopian 2053 where pretty much everything is banned, especially comedy. They fire skits, rather than shots, over the bow of the regime, a spacious premise reminiscent of all-male sketch troupe Pappy's - perhaps inevitable given Pappy's member Tom Parry's involvement as director.
Loopy and loveable is what the kooky Edmondson, the neurotic Johnson and feisty Ucan are looking for, but the result is a stock of quick-fire sketches that don't always ignite. Slightly too few recurring sketches is one problem, while some of the ones that are on offer flail, especially their hapless dating consultant whose lame suggestions are too weak even for comic gain.
While some ideas clearly have potential for the small screen as well as the stage, many of the the gags are not thought-through to a clean payoff and certainly don't threaten to shake up the system.

I used so many of my favourite techniques here - starting with Brandy's Colour Isolation action, then Dynamic Brush Markers... before overlaying it all with word art taken from a favourite song... I often find the songs I play the most are the ones I can relate to and this photo seemed to fit perfectly... keep in mind this photo was taken about 10mins after we left a Corvette Show with over 60 Corvettes... they should look THRILLED!!!
font: LD Underwood Pica
Love your blending, and your use of color and black and white. Fantastic page.
Neat photo - I love that window with the brick and grill. The blended text is an interesting effect - It adds texture and also kind of blends, looking like more stonework. I find kids are easily bored - kind of the but what have I done lately as in in the last 5 seconds?
The color isolation looks great on your photo and the effect of the markers is really neat! I also really like how you mixed the direction the words on the page. I agree with Aggie on the "what have I done in the last 5 seconds - syndrome", I know my guys get that quite a bit. I actually got such a peaceful feeling seeing your boys sitting nicely
This is great, Jode! Love the pops of red & the brushwork!
What an interesting picture, and you've really made it work with your layout. Love the way the neutral background sets off the red shirt, and the blending is fantastic.
The colour isolation works so well on your photo (kids!!!), and I love the word art blended into it. Your layouts are always so inspiring, I really need to give these techniques a go.
Pure artistry, as always, and on so many levels! The photograph is just wonderful, and I love the feeling that you've captured with your layout. I always learn so much from studying your work. Thanks for sharing your talented eye.

Ave Historia: An irreverent look at historical fiction today: books trends, historical tidbits, and random tangents
Let's Hear It For The Bad Guy!
September 9, 2010
Let's face it: everybody loves a good villain. No great book or movie is complete without one: without Lord Voldemort and the ever-rising body count of his victims, the Harry Potter books are just a cute kid series about a magical boarding school. Sometimes we end up with a sneaking liking for the villain; sometimes we read through a book with murder in our hearts and prayers on our lips that the bastard will finally get what's coming to him. In any case, here's my list for some of the greatest fictional villains ever to gnash their teeth.
1. Milady de Winter, The Three Musketeers (Alexander Dumas)
Dumas's swashbuckler about a quartet of rapier-wielding French chevaliers is generously stocked with villains, including the ruthless Cardinal Richelieu and his �living blade� Rochefort. But it's Milady de Winter we all remember, the beautiful blond assassin who schemes, seduces, plots, and murders her way through a trail of hapless victims. Her finest hour: imprisoned before she can murder her latest target and guarded by an incorruptible Puritan jailer, she takes a mere week to seduce the Puritan and wangle an escape � persuading him, on her way out the door, to assassinate her target for her, and of course take the fall.
Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter in the original 1973 "Three Musketeers." MdeW has been played by many actresses, including Rebecca de Mornay and Milla Jovovich, but nobody ever matched Faye Dunaway for silky menace.
2. Mordred, the King Arthur tales
The story of the semi-mythical King Arthur has been told by more authors than anyone can count, but they all hold one thing in common: Mordred. Sometimes he's a scheming knight and sometimes a whining wheedler, but he's always the poison apple in Arthur's Camelot and he always brings it crashing down. His finest hour: when the sneaky little toad leads armies against his father, tries to marry his father's queen, and ends up stabbing his father through the head in their final fight as he is killed himself with a spear.
Mordred in black, on the verge of killing King Arthur
3. Magua, The Last of the Mohicans (James Fenimore Cooper)
I admit I'm going more off the movie �Last of the Mohicans� than the book, since I find the movie splendid and the novel all but unreadable. Cooper's villainous Huron warrior was no picnic; a vicious drunk who pursues the noble half-Indian frontiersman Hawkeye and his friends across hundreds of turgidly-written pages. But the movie's Magua is elevated into something truly teeth-chattering: a cold and ruthless warrior who uses the the French and Indian War as a means to further his personal revenge against the English general who destroyed his life. You can't call Magua a nice guy, not when he calmly cuts out the heart of the general while the man is still alive, telling him his daughters are next on the list . . . but Magua always wrings a certains sympathy from me. His finest hour: when he is wordlessly stared down by a quiet English girl and decides � arbitrarily, whimsically � to let her live.
If this guy says he will eat your heart, he ain't being metaphorical.
4. Miss Minchin, A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett)
She may not cut anybody's heart out with a tomahawk, but this girls' academy headmistress from a 19th century children's book is one of the most evil bitches in literature. From the start, Miss Minchin resents little Sara, her newest and richest pupil whose quiet manners and adult intelligence make the headmistress feel like the greedy pretentious cow she is. When Sara is orphaned and left a pauper, Miss Minchin loses no time turning her former prize pupil into a scullery maid and making her life one long living hell of hunger, cold, and abuse. Her finest hour: when she spitefully makes a point of interrupting Sara's birthday party to tell her about her father's death, and bundles her straight on down to the kitchen to start scrubbing floors. Every time I read it, I long for a time machine and a machete.
The uncomfortable moment when a manipulative adult realizes that an intelligent child sees them for exactly what they are. Adults rarely forgive children for this.
5. Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert, Ivanhoe (Sir Walter Scott)
The classic anti-hero of literature. He's introduced as the villain of this medieval set-piece, a dark and brutal Templar knight who hounds the heroic Ivanhoe, but he's much more interesting with his forthright passions and his tangle of inner wounds than the hero, who doesn't much evolve beyond loyal and blond. Ivanhoe spends most of the book lounging around on a stretcher recovering from a wound, while Bois-Guilbert stamps around swearing, scheming, sword-fighting, and swash-buckling. His finest hour: when he is trying his damndest to win the love of the proud and lovely Rebecca, not caring one whit for the fact that she is a Jew and by the standards of his day lower than pond scum. I always wish Rebecca had just gone for it, instead of pining for boring old Ivanhoe.
Ciaran Hinds as Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert in the 1998 mini-series Ivanhoe. Oh my, he makes my heart pound every time.
6. Courtney Massengale, Once An Eagle (Anton Myrer)
Oooh, he's a nasty piece of work: an unnaturally charming psychopath who does his best to prolong the bloodshed of World War I, World War II, and Vietnam so that he has enough wars to vault himself up the chain of command in the US Army. He is the lifelong enemy of the book's hero, a quietly heroic farm boy named Sam who fights through the century's wars for all the right reasons and sees Massengale for the calculating snake he really is. His finest hour: Massengale has so many, it's hard to pick. When he comes within a whisper of persuading McArthur to invade China, just to see what happens? When he deliberately witholds reinforcements from Sam's men in the Pacific, ensuring the massacre of the entire division? Let's go with the moment when Massengale, as an object lesson to his rebellious wife, tells her with quiet pleasure about the pet squirrel he starved to death as a boy because it nipped him.
Cliff Potts in the 70s miniseries of "Once An Eagle": a young Massengale busy smarming his way up the military ladder.
7. Dolores Umbridge, Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling)
I know, I know � Voldemort is the real villain of the Potter series. Very true. But somehow I found this sugary little psychotic much scarier. There are plenty of villains who swish around in black cloaks planning to conquer the world. Villains in pastel twin-sets with kitten posters on their walls who talk sweetly about the necessity of torturing children for the greater good are much rarer and more frightening. Her finest hour: Forcing mouthy children to write �I will not tell lies� as punishment � in their own blood, leaving permanent scars on their hands. Anyone else think Umbridge never really got a good enough come-uppance by the end of the series?
I swear I had a few teachers in middle school like this.
8. Sheriff of Nottingham, the Robin Hood tales
Technically Robin Hood has evil King John to contend with in his fight for freedom, poor people, and the absent King Richard. But King John had enough on his plate without obsessing all the time about the misdoings of one outlaw archer, and all those medieval balladeers were smart enough to give Robin Hood a villain-on-the-scene: the Sheriff of Nottingham, heartless tax-collector and arch-nemesis who generally gets hoodwinked in the end of every story. His finest moment: he masterminds an archery contest just to capture Robin Hood, and Robin manages to win the contest and get away clean.
Alan Rickman chewed up Kevin Costner's "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" as the Sheriff of Nottingham - the best thing in it.
9. Obadiah Hakeswill, the Richard Sharpe novels (Bernard Cornwell)
A splendidly quirky villain to match up against Cornwell's splendidly swash-buckling hero Richard Sharpe. Hakeswill is a frankly insane British army sergeant who manages to survive Sharpe's enmity for several books, which is more than most villains can do. Hakeswill twitches, schemes, steals, murders, and has decidedly creepy habits of quoting inaccurate Scripture and talking tenderly into his hat where he stashes a picture of what might be his mother. His finest hour: his conviction that he can never die, born out by his adventures in India with a young Sharpe where Hakeswill is variously thrown into a tiger cage, a snake-pit, and three major battles without suffering a scratch.
Talk about chewing the scenery: Pete Postlethwaite as Hakeswill, twitchy and deeply scary in the Richard Sharpe mini-series.
10. Livia, I, Claudius (Robert Graves)
One of the great villainesses of all time � this Roman Empress could eat Milady de Winter alive and pick her teeth with the bones. She never personally lifts a single manicured finger in violence, but she slanders, disposes of, or outright assassinates an entire string of relatives in order to make her son the next Emperor of Rome. Her finest hour: getting rid of the current heir by recruiting a niece to stage a rape, masterminding an exile, then taking care of loose ends with an assassin. You can't say the woman wasn't thorough.
She may have been a multiple murderess, but she had style.
So these are my top ten villains. Honorable mentions go to the slithery Saruman from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, the beautiful and ruthless Queen Cersei from George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, the spiteful geisha Hatsumomo from Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha, the coldly methodical Inspector Javert from Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, and Big Jim Rennie from Stephen King's Under The Dome - a small-town official who doesn't swear by gosh because it's against Jesus, but commits murder without a qualm. All of them, in their various ways, kept me turning the pages breathless to see what they'd do next.
Let's admit it: sometimes it's fun to root for the bad guy.

Project Description
At this moment, I am configuring a photo sales website using Drupal 7. But I need to solve one issue before I can proceed further.
Here's my current setup.
1. A content type called "Photo" with image field using private file system.
2. Using flag module to determine if the photo has been purchased or not.
3. At theming layer, the download link is set to appear if the node has been flagged.
However, there is an issue with the setup above. The user will still be able to download the original photo if the link is known. I want to allow user to download the original photo only when the entity has been flagged as purchased. I need a custom module for that.
Things to bear in mind:
1) The private photo will be used in generating images of different sizes in "Image Styles (Imagecache)" for preview. Those images created by "Image Styles" should not be treated as original photos and will not required any special permission to download.
2) The photo uploader should have access to download his/her own photo without purchasing.
3) I believe you need to have a depth understanding on Drupal file system api in order to complete this project.
FYI, I am following the instructions at [url removed, login to view] to setup my photo sales site.

MIT Communucations Forum: Online Migration of Newspapers
Bartos theater
David Thorburn, MIT Professor of Literature, MacVicar Faculty Fellow; David Carr, New York Times columnist; Dan Kennedy, Assistant Professor, Northeastern University
Description: Two seasoned media observers map out shifting terrain in the news industry, as digital forces shake up print journalism. They also predict some likely survivors and casualties of this upheaval.
David Carr now sees a porous border, if not a great deal of overlap, between once-segregated domains of traditional and online journalism. "Whether you're looking at it on iPad, or enabled TV, or paper, there won't be old media or new media, there will just be media." As a New York Times media columnist, Carr both analyzes and participates in emerging hybrid news platforms. He has a quarter million followers on Twitter ("If my last name weren't 'NYT,' it would be about 250"), and says one "can get hooked on that."
The Times has seized on new technology to forge a path back to profitability. Says Carr, "We have a skunk works upstairs where propeller heads and mad scientists do who knows whatWe get help from the tech heads to make things work better, and create more audience participation." These innovations make reading The Times online a nearly endless experience — "You feel like you're down a hobbit hole," says Carr. Special online features and editions may be subject to "convenience charges" in the future, yielding new sources of revenue to help replace lost advertising dollars.
While he celebrates the proliferation of news websites, Carr has few kind words for online news aggregators such as Huffington Post, which he views as commoditizing content stolen from newspapers like The Times, leading to further decimation of old guard publications. He also frets about the transfer of audience loyalty from newspapers to blogs and Twitter. "The dispersal of authority is a threat over the long term for newspapers," especially if pay walls go up around newspaper content. He worries about information becoming ghettoized. "I don't want great journalism to be a high-class district where everyone isn't invited," says Carr.
"The Boston Globe, Philadelphia Inquirer, papers in that weight class are the most threatened," says Daniel Kennedy. "They're struggling to make themselves essential" doing just regional stories, since they have neither the staff nor the rationale for covering international or even national news. Kennedy worries that these papers may not be able to make a case for themselves with readers, given such a narrow mission. But there is some consolation: In some cities where such papers have already disappeared, or are in retreat, new forms of journalism are emerging. Kennedy has been studying New Haven, where the old city newspaper has fled to the suburbs chasing ad revenue, and a nonprofit community website, the New Haven Independent, has risen to cover the inner city. Funded by foundations and contributions, this tiny newsroom of four fulltime reporters on bikes "covers anything that moves in the neighborhoods of New Haven," using a blog format with picture stories and video, and getting the word out with Twitter and Facebook. "People kill themselves doing reporting," says Kennedy.
Nonprofit, and for-profit models of community journalism such as Patch.com and Wicked Local, are popping up everywhere in vacuums left by shrinking newspapers. But the financial viability of these small enterprises is uncertain, and Kennedy acknowledges advertising money will never again primarily power news operations, in any medium. "If we are going to preserve journalism, professional journalism -- and it's not 100% clear there's a huge desire to do that -- we must move toward a model in which the user pays for much larger share of content," Kennedy says.
About the Speaker(s): David Thorburn has published widely on literary and cultural subjects and is currently completing a cultural history of American television, called Story Machine. He received his A.B. degree from Princeton, his M.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford and taught at Yale for 10 years before joining MIT in 1976. He has edited collections of essays on romanticism, and on John Updike, as well as a widely used anthology of fiction, Initiation. He is a former Director of the Film and Media Studies Program and of the Cultural Studies Project.

Emergency vehicles, including two police cars, an ambulance, Jones County Emergency Management and Laurel Fire Department responded to the scene, which was in front of the 3200 block of Old Bay Springs Road in north Laurel. According to witnesses the car hit a light pole on the side of the street and flipped upside down. Officials with the Laurel Police Department said the incident involved a white Lumina that sustained damaged in the crash that was reported around 4 p.m. Friday. According to officials, the driver, only identified as a white female, was transported to South Central Regional Medical Center for treatment of undisclosed injuries. Blues Bash From Page Al know how to play and have a following." Green said what has kept the Blues Bash successful is that it is a "laid back, fun, family event." "It's something you can bring your children to," she said. "It's casual. You can come in your shorts and T- shirt and sit on the front lawn of the museum. It's a beautiful place to be. You can have a great time with your friends and family." Green noted that George Bassi, director of the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art, helped create Blues Bash 18 years ago. "The whole event was his idea and it's been a huge success," she said, noting Bassi is a Mississippi Delta native. "All the money we raise goes to the education and outreach deparmient so we can take our edu cation programs out into the community for free." Chrissy Leggett, who was attending the event with her husband and two children, said they have enjoyed attending the event for sever^ years. "It's a fun family outing," she said. "It's very relaxing. It's a good way to kick off the summer." Her oldest son Carter had a simple answer when asked what he enjoyed about the event. "The music," he said.

"There won't be enough support unless you go state-to-state first." Kiessling said that the country has spent "almost 40 years in the dark" following the passage of Roe vs. Wade. "There will never be any change until we do something different," she said. "I don't want to have the same spirit of the 10 spies who were afraid of the giants in the land. I want to be like Caleb and Joshua saying God is on our side and we can do the right thing. "I want to have the same spirit as David and hit Goliath where it counts," Kiessling added. "With Personhood, this is hitting the issue where it coimts." Kiessling said that according to research, 76 percent of voters would approve the amendment if they know it is pro-life, but only 48 percent would support it just by reading the language of the bill. "We need money to be able to get the pro-life message out there," she said. Kiessling also shared news that she was recently legally adopted by her birth mother and her husband. "I was forsaken by my father," she said. "I need ed to protect my children in case anything happened to us that there would be no way he would raise them. So, in October, I approached my birth mother and she and her husband legally adopted me. I am a blessing to her." Kiessling said abortion is not the answer to a pregnancy as a result of rape. "Women are four times more likely to die within a year after the abortion," she said. "You need to protect her from the abortion, not the baby. A baby is not the worst thing to happen from the rape, abortion is." State Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-Ellisville) also spoke at the event and called the Center for Pregnancy Choices a "godsend." "They are amazing," he said. "They are on the fi'ont lines in the fight for life. They're out there letting people know there are other options aside from just aborting the child." McDaniel said he favors the Personhood Amendment and anything else that promotes the pro-life message. "It's important to discuss it so everyone can understand it," he said.

McDaniel said that millions of children have been aborted since the passage of Roe vs. Wade in 1973. "Unborn children are children," he said. "They're human beings and should be protected bylaw." According to Personhood Mississippi, if Mis-sissippians vote yes on Amendment 26: • All human beings would be ensured equal rights in the state and protection under law — regardless of their size, location or developmental stage. • Abortion will be outlawed. Unborn children will no longer be killed "legally." Mothers in crisis will be protected from a harmful medical procedure. • Human cloning, embryo stem cell research, and other fornis of "medical cannibalism" would be effectively stopped — which would focus the attention of medical researchers on approaches that have been proven to actually work (like adult stem cells) and do not require the Ming of an innocent person. • A legal challenge will be set up to the unconstitutional court ruling Roe vs. Wade that allegedly "legalized" abortion. er within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not provided. "Another cause of heat stroke is dehydration," Finch said. "A dehydrated person may not be able to sweat fast enough to cool the body temperature. "The best thing to do when working or playing outdoors is drink plenty of water and drink it frequently," he added. "Even if you are not thirsty, it is important to stayhydrated." Currently, Jones County and the Pine Belt are under a Heat Advisory through the weekend. Finch said people should also avoid drinking alcohol or drinks that have a high sugar content because they can cause you to lose more fluid. He said area residents should also avoid the hottest part of the day, which is between noon and 4 p.m. "However, if you have to be out in it, you should dress in lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing," said Finch, adding people should wear wide-brimmed hats when working in the sun. Finch said hot, heavy meals should also be avoided, instead opting for meals that have a high water content such as fruits, salads or soups. The Mississippi State Department of Health also recommends using fans or air conditioning if the temperature is 90 degrees or above. All Mississippians should also use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher and both UVA and UBA protection, and wear sunglasses that wrap around and block as close to 100 percent of rays as possible. "It is important to know the signs and symptoms that can be caused by heat stroke," Finch said. "They include high body temperature, hallucinations, the absence of sweating (with hot read or flushed dry skin), a rapid pulse, nausea, difficulty breatliing and confusion. Other symptoms include agitation, disorientation and seizures." Added Finch, "If you experience these symptoms, it is important to seek medical help immediately. A heat stroke can be fatal."Scam From Page Al "It's the same old thing: people trying to get money out of other people," Cox said. "We tiy to remind the public to beware of the various scams that are out there." As a part of the scam, the person who receives the check does not get to keep all the money. Once the person receiving the bogus check has cashed it, the person is then instructed to send a portion of the money to someone else. Even though the check may be drawn on a legitimate bank, it's still bogus. Cox said. Because of the requirements, the victim in this scam contacted the police and inquired about the check. "This man contact- "These people are ooking for people to take advantage of.... They are just trying to see how many people they can get to do this. Capt. Tommy Cox Laurel Police Department ed us and found out that the check was no good before he started sending other people money," Cox said. "This victim had the forethought to check it out, and that's what we encourage people to do." The police captain said the police have determined that the check is counterfeit. "The check was for $3,250 and from a bank out of Salt Lake City, but has on it the Key Bank of Alaska. The name and bank could be right, but the check is counterfeit," Cox said. "The letter with the check says that the victim will receive $100,000 if he takes this check, which is no good to the bank, and then wire by Western Union fe,650 to another location." Cox said once the person sends the money, the victim will be notified later by their bank that the check was not good. "Then the person has lost whatever money they have sent or wired to that person," the police sergeant said. "These people are looking for people to take advantage of.... They are just trying to see how many people they can get to do this." Cox said the Laurel Police Department is investigating the scam. However, police are encouraging residents to use caution. "If you get a check for a large amount of money and you hiowyou haven't entered any contest or participated in an event, you should know that you didn't win anything," Cox said. "If someone sends you something and ask you to send some of the money back, then you think about it. "If you're having to send some of the money back, then 99 percent of the time, you should know that it's a scam," he added. "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is a scam.... If you won something, you don't have to send any money." Cox said people should exercise sound judgment. "The main thing is to use common sense," he said. "We want people to be aware of what's going on and don't become prey to this.... If you think something is suspicious or not right with it, call us." Officials are also urging anyone who has questions about similar incidents or know individuals involved in these type activities to contact the Laurel Police Department's investigation division at (601) 425-4711 or Crimestoppers at 601-428-STORMAXIMUM CHOICES MINIMUM PRICES Packages Starting at Poi 12 months EVERYDAY PRICE GUARANTEE UNTIL 2013 ViU m quaMying padages only PMGDISH ID 877-535-8304 M. ufmntmm Olter ends t/31/12.

What a pain when chair runs out of juice on Aisle 5
Dear Readers: Here is this week's Sound Off, about motorized wheelchairs provided by stores:
"I shattered my leg and was unable to walk for quite a while. I used the electric wheelchairs that are available in major stores.
"My complaint is that people who used the chairs didn't plug them back in when they were done shopping. Many times the battery went dead in the middle of my shopping. You can't imagine what a hassle that caused. If people are able to get into the store and use these chairs, they should at least have the courtesy to plug them back in when done."

Dear Heloise: I'm having trouble getting bed sheets to fit my queen bed! The fitted sheets are too big, and the flat sheets aren't big enough. What's the secret to keeping the sheets in place? My mattress dimensions are as shown on the sheet package.
– P.J., via email
I do have some advice for you! Some of the newer sheet sets have "deep corner pockets," which may be why the fitted sheet seems too big. Instead of buying sets of sheets, try buying separates. Buy a size smaller for the fitted sheet, and buy a larger for the flat sheet. So if your bed is a queen, buy a queen or double fitted sheet and a king flat sheet. And look to see if you can find some without the deep corners.
To help keep the fitted sheet on the bed, try using suspenders. Attach them to each side of the sheet under the mattress. It will keep the ends from coming off. Hope these hints help!
– Heloise
Dear Heloise: If pieces of a plant break off during planting, many plants can be saved by either dipping the broken ends into root starter or putting them in a tall container of water until they send out roots. In fact, if many annuals are needed and money is a factor, most plants can be multiplied this way, with a little patience.

Dear readers: A reader wrote making the comment that he was having trouble eating his peas with a fork. Several letters came in with the same advice in a rhyme. It goes like this:
"I eat my peas with honey; I've done it all my life,
"It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps them on my knife."
What a cute way to remember a solution for this problem.
Thank you all for writing in.

Cecelia's New Puppy
Long ago, in a land far far away,there lived a young girl named Cecelia. Her mother and father were the king and queen of the small village. Cecelia's parents had bought the land to use for farming and realized how much money was left over. So they created a community which became the land of royalty, Queen Maryem and King John were their names.
Cecelia lived a very exotic lifestyle. She had her breakfast in bed, lunch in the meadows, and dinner served on a long and narrow dining table. The people of the village were happy and helpful. The King and Queen said that Cecelia could name the village. She named it Liddysville, after her dog who had died 3 weeks after they bought the land. It was a sad reminder for all of the villagers. they new how much Liddia ment to them.
They had found a stray dog who looked abandoned and starving. So they took her in. Weeks later, they had new puppies. Each of the 6 pups had a white spot on their right ear and a star the color of the moon when its full on their foreheads. But one of the dogs had a pink diamond on its side and a white ring around its left eye.
Cecelia had to sell the puppies but she hated to see the one go. So the King had an idea. He would have one of the villagers buy the puppy from Cecelia, hand her over to the King, and he would pay him back. Once the King had the dog, he would give it to Cecelia for a present at her 16th birthday.
"Cece!" The Queen called to her daughter."Yes, mother?" She came running in. "You know that one puppy?" Asked the King. "Yes, I do. Mr.Reynolds bought her. Why?" Cecelia was confused. Why would her father want to know what happened with the pup? It was gone. Sold." Because I have a small present for you,"he said, grinning. "Ta Da!" Hepicked up the small puppy from a box behind his large chair. "Aaaahhhh! Thank you so much daddy!" She grabbed the puppy and hugged it. Then, she bent down and gave her father a kiss on the cheek. He blushed. "I shall name her, Liddia. Liddia the puppy."
Cecelia loved Liddia. They had breakfast together, they ran through the meadows, and even wathed the sunset together. They were meant to be together. It's like Liddias mom wanted Cecelia specifically to take her home. But when Liddia died, everything changed.
"Mom! Come quick! Liddia's been terribly hurt."Cecelia cried. "What happened?" The Queen asked, running to the meadows, where all 4 of them were having a picnic."It ran by and grabbed her with it's mouth. That monster,"Cecelia managed to keep herself from crying. Liddia had been hurt. She didn't know what to do.
"What grabbed Liddia, Cece?"
"It was Red, Had a bushy tail, and a pointy nose. It just, it just took her. I managed to scare it away but it bit Liddia."Cecelia had started to cry. She didn't understand. What did Liddia ever do to make the anmal grab her? "Dear, I think we may be dealing with a fox. The villagers have claimed to see a sly red fox stealing their chickens. I guess that it's time to try and trap it."
"Trap it?! No! You know I won't let you do that. It may have hurt my dog and stolen the villagers livestock, but it's still an inoscent animal. What gives you the right to just TRAP it? And where would you take it? Would you have to put it down?" Cecelia hated when animals were trapped or killed. She doesn't even believe that hunting season should go on in Liddisville."I'm afraid we may have to put it down, sweetie. Unless the other villages don't care if theres a thief on the loose. Besides, it hurt your dog. Don't you think it's gone too far?" The Queen didn't want some carnivore animal going around and stealing peoples food and hardwork.
Cecelia ingnored what her mother had said. She looked down at her dog and burst out in tears. Liddia was dead. Gone. She couldn't believe it. A fox had killed her precious, inoscent puppy. I guess my mom's right, she thought. It does deserve to be put down. all it's doing is killing our livestock and pets.Cecelia held her dog tight in her arms as she looked for a place to burry her. She found a nice, shady spot in the meadows that would be perfect. She her mom down who immediatly started to dig. Once Liddia had been burried, Cecelia didn't know what to do. She would just have to live life as it was, and hope that everything would be okay.
