Overall nice piece. However, tall ladies out there should keep in mind that the torso is somewhat short. Her measurements are 32D - 23 - 35 with hight about 5.7 and she felt that "this was the first romper from bebe that felt too short in the torso for her height, which was somewhat disappointing..."

The CPSIA Law and How It Can Affect YOU!
As parents and concerned citizens I'm sure most of us at one time or another have been confronted with the question of lead poisoning. But have you asked yourself what your government is doing to protect your children from lead contained in toys? The answer? They're banning toys, taking books from schools and libraries, hurting low income families, killing entrepreneurial spirit and risking putting the economy in an even greater depression than we've seen in decades. I'd like to introduce you to their solution: the CPSIA.Do you know about the CPSIA? No? Then I ask you to take a few minutes to find out about it.The CPSIA stands for Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, a new set of laws that will come into effect on 10 February, 2009 and will impact many, many people in a negative way. Make no mistake, this is very real. View it for yourself. If Forbes, the American Library Association and numerous other media are paying attention, perhaps you should too.How will these new laws affect you? Well, here are a few examples:To the Parents of Young Students:Due to the new law, expect to see the cost of school supplies sky rocket. While those paper clips weren't originally intended for your student to use, they will need to be tested now that your 11-year-old needs them for his school project. This law applies to any and all school supplies (textbooks, pencils, crayons, paper, etc.) being used by children under 12.To the Avid Reader:Due to the new law, all children's books will be pulled from library and school shelves, as there is no exemption for them. That's okay though, there's always television. Our children don't need to learn the love of reading after all.Article from the American Library Association http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=1322To the Lover of All Things Handmade:Due to the new law, you will now be given a cotton ball and an instruction manual so you can make it yourself since that blanket you originally had your eye on for $50 will now cost you around $1,000 after it's passed testing. It won't even be the one-of-a-kind blanket you were hoping for. Items are destroyed in the testing process making one-of-a-kind items virtually impossible. So that gorgeous hand-knit hat you bought your child this past winter won't be available next winter.To the Environmentalist:Due to the new law, all items in non-compliance will now be dumped into our already overflowing landfills. Imagine not just products from the small business owners, but the Big Box Stores as well. You can't sell it so you must toss it. Or be potentially sued for selling it. You can't even give them away. If you are caught, it is still a violation.To the Second-Hand Shopper:Due to the new law, you will now need to spend $20 for that brand new pair of jeans for your 2-year old, rather than shop at the Goodwill for second hand. Many resale shops are eliminating children's items all together to avoid future lawsuits.To the Entrepreneur:Due to this new law, you will be forced to adhere to strict testing of your unique products or discontinue to make and/or sell them. Small businesses will be likely to be unable to afford the cost of testing and be forced to close up shop. Due to the current economic state, you'll have to hope for the best when it comes to finding a new job in Corporate America.To the Antique Toy Collector:Due to the new law, you'd better start buying now because it's all going to private collection and will no longer be available to purchase. "Because the new rules apply retroactively, toys and clothes already on the shelf will have to be thrown out if they aren't certified as safe." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123189645948879745.htmlTo the American Economy:Already struggling under an economy that hasn't been this weak in decades, the American economy will be hit harder with the inevitable loss of jobs and revenues from suppliers, small businesses and consumers. The required testing is far too costly and restrictive for small businesses or individuals to undertake.To the Worldwide Economy:Due to this new law, many foreign manufacturers have already pulled out of the US market. You can imagine the impact of this on their businesses.If you think this is exaggerating, here is a recent article from Forbeshttp://www.forbes.com/2009/01/16/cpsia-safety-toys-oped-cx_wo_0116olson.htmlAnd for those of you prepared to be stupefied and boggled, The New Lawhttp://www.cpsc.gov/about/cpsia/cpsia.htmlDid you know? If this upsets or alarms you, please react.

Sometimes radio can hit the spot like nothing else, and Eliza Gilkyson's performance on Bob Harris Country (Radio 2) last night provided one of those moments. With her beautiful voice set to Robert McEntee's guitar, she opened with a new song, Emerald Street, with its refrain "the whole world's going up in smoke, hard times coming, I'm just trying to keep my heart right open", and the combination of the words and music felt like a blessing.
Gilkyson makes no bones about where she's coming from, saying that being an American now "feels kind of scary" and that many of the songs on her new album were inspired by meetings she convened with Texan friends to discuss global concerns - "we brought a radical-left thought to it". Harris asked if she felt a pressure to make every song contain a message, to which she had a lovely answer: "It's not always about politics, it might be any human story ... but once you've mined a deep vein it's hard to be trivial after."
Her new album is called Beautiful World - because, she said, no matter how bad things feel, "I always seem to default to a joy position." Listening to her sing, you could hear the truth of that.

As a faculty member at Wyoming Seminary, one of my primary co-curricular responsibilities included working in the theatre program. I served as the technical director of the Buckingham Performing Arts Center and directed full-length, student and student/faculty, stage plays. During my tenure, I directed both Jean Anouilh's Antigone and his Medea, Alfred Uhry's The Robber Bridegroom, and Jim Leonard's The Diviners. I also served as the technical director for school productions of The Music Man, Love's Labor's Lost, Midsummer Night's Dream, and half-a-dozen others.
During the summer holidays, I worked as a stage carpenter for two summer theatre programs. For several seasons, I was a stage carpenter at The Peninsula Players, the oldest professional resident summer theatre in America. "Nestled in a fragrant cedar forest overlooking the waters of Green Bay" not far from Fish Creek, Wisconsin, the company produces five full productions each summer; I built stage elements including scenery and furniture. During several other summers, I was a stage carpenter at Interlochen Arts Camp in the theatre design and technology program. Interlochen, located on a 1200 acre campus south of Traverse City, Michigan, is a full-fledged pre-professional training camp for middle and high school students. As a stage carpenter, I not only built stage sets, but I taught students stage carpentry.
I've also done a bit of playwriting. A one-act play of mine, "Mating Rites," was produced at the University of East Anglia; my Top Gun-meets-the-Coast Guard screenplay, Storm Warriors, remains unsold, now having been overtaken by The Guardian.

Graham Rahal's run at Chip Ganassi Racing appears set to end after this season.
As first reported by SPEEDTV.com's Marshall Pruett and later confirmed by Rahal himself in today's Indianapolis Star, the American driver is now on the 2013 free agent market. Rahal told the Star's Curt Cavin that funding had not yet been secured and while he had received an offer to stay with CGR, the team couldn't promise if said funding would be there for him.
When Rahal joined Ganassi's expanded four-car stable before the 2011 campaign, he took on some big expectations. In his first season with CGR last year, he placed ninth in the championship. However, he hasn't been able to keep rising up the table in 2012. He currently sits tenth in the standings with just one podium finish to his credit — the second-place finish that should have been a win at Texas back in June.
Assuming that Rahal's going to retain his sponsorships from Service Central and National Tire & Battery, the process of finding a new ride should be easier to handle for him. But where would be the best place for him?
Pruett throws out some possibilities in his piece that's linked above, with the most obvious being an alliance with his father, Indy 500 champ Bobby Rahal (who's currently fielding a single-car program for Takuma Sato).
Father and son have worked together before under the Rahal-Letterman banner at the 2010 Indianapolis 500. RLR was one of four squads that Graham raced for in 2010 before moving to Ganassi.

CALL TO ACTION: Friends of Jacob's Well and Cypress Creek , please show your support to protect of our local water supply and spring flows to Jacob's Well by attending the Summary Judgment Hearing at the Hays County Justice Center (712 South Stagecoach Trail, San Marcos Texas) on Monday, July 16th at 9:00am.
The Wimberley Valley Watershed Association and a group of concerned landowners are asking the 207th Judicial Court to confirm that the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District denied concerned citizens due process by rejecting their request for a hearing to contest a golf course and municipal groundwater permit for up to 163,000,000 gallons of water. Hydrologic data indicates that this additional amount of groundwater pumping above Jacob's Well will cause aquifer levels to drop and cause the spring to stop flowing in the future. It is difficult to assess the full impact of the additional drawdown without performing an aquifer test on the wells being considered for use. The HTGCD issued the permit on Feb. 21st 2011 without publishing the district's recommendations or deadlines.
Additionally, the district failed to require the developer to perform the mandatory aquifer test that is required under current district rules. The HTGCD rule 11 states that "Each applicant for a new well operating permit shall perform an aquifer test and submit a report as part of the operating permit application." An aquifer test was never performed and the permit was approved via a split 3-2 board vote and in spite of broad public opposition. Numerous citizens protested the golf course and the permit conditions as written by the developer. The permit allows for the transfer of 80,000,000 gallons of irrigation water to residential use with no further consideration on the impact to current water supply wells or the spring flow to Jacob's Well, Cypress Creek and the Blue Hole swimming area downstream.
In this case, the public was not provided notice of a February 21 meeting deadline to submit a hearing request. Such a failure violated the local residents due process rights, was arbitrary and capricious, and constituted a violation of the District's own rules. Moreover, the Board's 3-2 vote decision to reverse its deadline interpretation after-the-fact meets the very definition of that which is arbitrary and capricious, violating the due process and due-course-of-law clauses of the U.S. and Texas Constitutions, and amounts to a gross abuse of discretion.
Please consider attending the hearing on July 16th to show support for your local water rights and the fair and balanced allocation of water. Our future water supply and livelihood depends on responsible management of our limited water resources. To view the full Motion for Summary Judgment Response please click here.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Greg Little is looking forward to this Thursday's home game against his former team, the Cleveland Browns.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Greg Little is looking forward to this Thursday's home game against his former team, the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns released Little in May after three turbulent seasons with the team, and Little hasn't forgotten about it.
"Somebody has to pay," Little told reporters, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Little was cut despite the Browns having a number of unproven receivers and with star Josh Gordon facing a suspension.
The former second-round pick did not appreciate how his release was handled.
• BANKS: NFL Midseason Report 2014
"I was coming in to a new coaching staff I was growing towards and they were looking at me to come in and play well," Little said. "I had a great relationship with them and the front office decided to go in another direction. Hopefully I'll make them pay."
Drafted by the Browns in 2011, Little had 41 receptions for 465 yards and two touchdowns in 2013. His production had decreased each season he was in Cleveland.
He remained unsigned until Oct. 14, when he was picked up by the Bengals.
Little played 60 percent of Cincinnati's offensive snaps Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has four receptions for 55 yards since joining the Bengals.
• DEITSCH: Inside reports of divided Redskins locker room after incident with RGIII
Little also claimed that Browns coach Mike Pettine didn't speak to him.
"No, I didn't get along with Pettine. Pettine doesn't talk to any of his players," Little said, according to the report. "You will walk past him in the hallway and he doesn't even speak to you so to have that type of relationship for a coach is kind of odd.
"I can't go out and say that I'm going to lay it on the line for a guy that won't even speak to me if we are the only two people in the hallway."

LAS VEGAS — T-Mobile's CEO John Legere is taking his "bad boy" image and feud with AT&T to the next level: he crashed a party thrown by AT&T at the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas, and was thrown out after being discovered.
The incident late Monday night occurred amid a recent escalation of the intense rivalry between the two companies. It was reported by CNET and confirmed by Legere on his Twitter feed. AT&T's party followed its conference for software developers the same day, and featured rap act Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Legere claims to be a fan.
Legere took the job as CEO of T-Mobile US Inc., the country's fourth-largest wireless carrier, in Sept. 2012, and has made a point of breaking with the status quo of the wireless industry, both in terms of personal style and business models. Legere dresses flashily and swears at company presentations. He has branded T-Mobile the "Un-carrier" and eliminated traditional two-year service contracts.
Since T-Mobile and AT&T use similar network technologies, Legere has launched initiatives aimed at luring iPhone users from AT&T to T-Mobile. In an apparent response, AT&T last week offered $200 to T-Mobile subscribers for switching to AT&T.
AT&T representatives had no immediate comment on the incident.

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"What do uncontrolled lipids mean?"
My doctor's nurse just called and said my blood work stated I have uncontrolled lipids and he want to see me. Only problem is he is booked out for a month. What does that mean to have uncontrolled lipids??
You ask a very good question, and it sounds like your physician is going through health screening tests with you if he is checking your lipid levels. In general, uncontrolled lipids means that one or more of your lipid levels is elevated to what we believe to be a dangerous level with regard to your risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease. When you have a 'lipid panel' measured, the test results help analyze your total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (so-called 'bad' cholesterol), HDL (so-called 'good' cholesterol), and your triglycerides (another type of lipid molecule). In general the lower the better for total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides. In contrast, a high HDL is thought to be associated with better cardiac outcomes. If your doctor's office is telling you that you have uncontrolled lipids, then this likely means that one or more of the lipids that are supposed to be low are instead too high. If your doctor wants to see you in person, then it is likely that he wants to talk to you about dietary ways to lower your cholesterol as well as medications that might also benefit you to reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. You should follow up on this right away!

To assemble furniture quickly, set out all of the pieces in a clean work area and read through the instructions. Make sure all of the pieces are there and that all tools necessary to complete the work are on hand. With proper preparation, furniture assembly goes much faster.
Once all of the tools and materials have been gathered and identified, building furniture can be done much faster and with far less hassle.
To assemble furniture quickly and efficiently, constantly reference the instruction manual and follow it in order. This is especially vital for more complicated pieces of furniture. Break the work down into sections, and assemble one piece of the furniture at a time in the order listed in the instructions.
In the event a problem occurs and a piece is not fitting properly or aligning with another piece, backtrack a bit and make sure that everything up to that point is properly connected. Many times a problem occurs because of a simple mistake. Stop and inspect the furniture throughout the building process to make sure that everything is on the right track and to prevent any unforeseen complications from getting in the way of building the furniture to completion.

Ive been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel extensively in my work and in my personal life. From each journey, Ive brought back experiences that enriched me and lessons that I know will stay with me throughout my life. Last year, I visited Rwanda for the first time, and what I learned from the trip and from the people of Rwanda was a lesson in the value of tolerance and the power of forgiveness.
Most of the world associates Rwanda with the genocide of 1994 an attrocity born from the intolerance of one people toward another. For the people of Rwanda that experience and those memories are equally distant as they are fresh. Some are reticent to recount it while others recall it as it just happened yesterday. Yet all people agree that what was critical to the collective healing that has magically happened since the genocide is the commitment to forgiveness, to acceptance, to tolerance.
On this International Day of Tolerance we commemorate the ability of the people of Rwanda and all other people the world over who have overcome great adversity- to thrive after conflict and build inclusive societies. In Rwandas case, several factors contributed to this: a strong government, communities of hope and forgiving people.
A big part of building communities of hope involved giving people the tools with which to rebuild their lives and through its work, Heifer International has been privileged to be a part of that. Years ago, the government initiated a project called Girinka to give "One cow per family" as part of its poverty reduction goal, and Heifer was asked to be a key partner in that effort. That program laid the foundation for the work that Heifer has since done through the East Africa Dairy Development project.
During my visit to Rwanda last year, I visited families that were part of the project. On our way to the project site we passed a community where Heifer had once worked with groups of women who are rebuilding their lives after losing their family members and everything they owned in the genocide. Many of them were raped and now live with HIV or AIDS. Rape is sometimes used as a weapon of war. During the tribunals that followed the genocide some people even attested to using AIDS infections as even more harmful weapons. The Rwandan experience was an unforgettable lesson in what intolerance can breed. But these women survived, and they are rebuilding their lives through agriculture, mostly as dairy farmers with cows that Heifer provided.
Hours later we pulled into the compound of Mary, a farmer who is being assisted through Heifers East Africa Dairy Development Program. Mary had five dairy cows, each in a stall in the corner of her tiny yard, in which was crammed the home she shares with her husband and the 12 children she cares for: four of them hers and eight orphans she adopted from deceased family members. On the other end of the yard was a small garden and in the third corner, a biogas unit, which digests the cow dung and feeds a tank with methane gas that she piped to her kitchen for cooking and for light. Mary talked to us about her challenges and her successes. As she talked, young boys brought large piles of fresh grass to feed the cows. Making a living to support the family took a family effort.
In the months since my visit the project has installed a chilling plant in the community, which serves as a bulking point for her and the 500 other farmers like her in her community, so that they can chill their milk until commercial enterprises come from the cities to collect it for sale. It opens up a wider market for the farmers and means their incomes can increase and their livelihoods improve.
What is also means is that families who may not ordinarily have much in common have reason to interact, to congregate, to come together to plan and build their communities and their families. These kinds of collaboration are the seeds of what Heifer calls "social capital" - social resources upon which people draw in pursuit of their livelihood objectives. These include networks and connectedness among individuals or groups of individuals; membership of more formalized groups; relationships of trust and reciprocity that facilitate reduction of transaction costs and may provide the basis for informal safety nets amongst the poor. These are the pillars of strong communities.
After the Rwandan genocide there was a war crimes tribunal set up. A period of reconciliation and justice began in late 1994, with the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the reintroduction of Gacaca, a traditional, ages-old village court system. In this process, people who confessed recounted what they did, sometimes even identifying the location of the bodies they had killed. Then they were sent to rehabilitation centers where they lived for a long time before they were released back into the community. The capacity of the Rwandan people to forgive, as demonstrated during this period, astounded the world.
In the years since the genocide the people of Rwanda have changed their national identity: new flag, new anthem, new constitution even. They have and are redefining a new society: one that is inclusive, one that is hopeful, one that is tolerant.
As horrific as the genocide was, the tribunals were also a testament to the human capacity for forgiveness. Rwanda has moved on and is marching ever forward. It is, hopefully, if we are paying attention, a lesson to the rest of the world.
This holiday season, promote tolerance by helping families improve their lives. Give a biogas stove or the gift of a heifer now.

Parks / Nunavut
/ Auyuittuq
National Park
In the gravel-like outwash of the glaciers,
little vegetation exists aside from the lichens
on the glacial moraines and the cushion plants
such as campion, saxifrage and mountain avens
sheltered at their base. Tundra species grow
on wind-blown sand that can support dwarf shrubs
- birch, willow, heather and blueberry - and
tufts of grasses called thufor.
On the edges of fjords and the coastline of
the Davis Strait, some tidal flat plants have
developed. The sparse vegetation growth and
its limited diversity result from thin, nutrient-poor
soils, harsh winters and short summers. Many
arctic plants grow in clumps, creating their
own warmer micro-climate, and in tussocks built
up by their own root systems over many summers.
Cotton grass sedge grows in boggy areas and
the pink and purple Broad-leafed Willow herb
and yellow arctic poppy survive in quite barren
areas. In all, 112 species of vascular plants,
129 bryophytes and 97 lichens have been catalogued
in the park.

about the creator
Salvatore Ferragamo
Relished by Hollywood stars since 1920, the shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo settled in California and his brand's shoes are the epitome of Italian elegance. Back in Florence in 1927, he founded his couture house where he created his perfectly crafted shoes that became known throughout Europe. In 1954, Salvatore Ferragamo created a pair of suede pumps for Audrey Hepburn. Their great success led them to become one of the brand's most iconic designs.
In 1969, the brand started manufacturing other leather goods, such as handbags featuring the typical "Gancino" metal closure, which now also embellishes Ferragamo's shoes.
Designed by Salvatore's daughter Fiamma Di San Giuliano Ferragamo, the Vara pumps are another one of the brand's signature designs. Created in 1960, this must-have shoe features a round toe, a small heel and a grosgrain bow held back by a metal buckle engraved with the brand's name.

4 Doors Escape 4 Walkthrough
Don't know if it's lag or not, very unresponsive game.
hi (again) all ☺
stuck (as usual for such Jap. games LOL)
so far, found a 5 on ceiling, a 0 at my feet, clicked shelves behind red door (the others are locked) to see hands with moving fingers...
game is lagging terribly for me...
I only got the zooms on hands by leaving the tab & coming back - odd...
hand at left side is moving fingers
hand at right side is moving fingers
not that I can proceed with that ☻
I numbered thumb 1 through to 5 for little finger. Keep in mind you're working on the opposite hand.
Nigel (still not going to sleep? ;-P )
have you already used those finger hints & if so, where?
On the right hand click the corresponding fingers. Ignore what the fingers are doing, it seemed to work for me. So if you have 1 for thumb on the left hand then click thumb on the right hand. etc.
If you think this one is hard, the next puzzle has me giving up. I'm working with handwritten emoji to English translator with little success.
can't figure out how to open the blue door
ah, ok, thx for the warning Nigel
(language barrier is not written in description above...!)
so we need a Jap. speaking person here - hello, hello!!! ☻
That's no barrier, it's a brick wall, barbed wire, and sirens! lol
Once the first code made (fingers, you have to wait a long time before the first hand makes the sequence... this game lags awfully), the blue door is unlocked. But, there are four buttons to move but I do not know how (no clue...).
hi CerKill
as you show up, I take the opportunity to thank you very much for all your VWTs you made & will make in the future ☺
if I have the choice (& if I need it), I always decide to peek into your VWTs...!
you indicate the hints very clearly by using the cursor - TVM again ☺
well, 256 possibilities for squares are not such a big amount...! ;-P
oops, I forgot to count the middle positions, so it's 625 possibilities...! :-o
well, that already looks differently LOL
You are welcome, AlphaOmega (ΑΩ) :)
According to a Japanese forum using Firefox cannot display hint for blue door
Neither with Chrome...
well cerkill "travail perso lol"
CerKill - let me also say thanks to you for the great community help you are at youtube. It is much appreciated, I always try and give you a 'thumbs up' there.
As for this game, it seems unplayable. :-(
You are welcome too, Unknown. I highly appreciate your both messages. Thanks :)
pleasure CerKill ☺
atm I have your VWT from Igor Krutov's «Through Abandoned 2: The Forest» open, 'cause I had to restart the game 'cause of that darn button I already placed into the lift & only then read the comments in YouTube... I got stuck the 2nd time playing for a pretty long time at the arrow lock, so I dared to peek for the solution ☻
Yes, this game was very good but for the 4th secret... it was a little boring to start over the game! I spent over five hours playing before try to restart the game and try the second place for this damned button ^^
Very clever game. Not slow playing for me. Too bad those playing back in August had so much trouble. I was completely stuck on yellow door. I couldn't find clues or walkthroughs anywhere, but finally touched the feet! Excellent.

4 chicken breasts -4 oz each
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (I used italian)
2 tsp italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste (I also added a little grinder garlic sea salt)
4 tsp olive oil
2 cups tomato sauce
4 Tblsp marinara sauce
3 cups spaghetti squash, cooked
1 cup 2% Kraft Mozarella Shredded Cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an oven proof dish with cooking spray. Mix breadcrumbs and seasonings in a large zip lock bag. Throw in the chicken and shake to coat. Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Set aside. Place the spaghetti squash in the oven proof dish and pour the tomato sauce over it. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the cheese. Place browned chicken on top of the cheese and top each breast with 1Tblsp of marinara sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes or so or until bubbling and cooked through.
My calculation is 6 points per serving. But the serving is quite large because of the magic spaghetti squash. Always check points depending on your ingredients, as they could change.

Credit: ABCOnce Upon A Time tells the story of Snow White, Prince Charming and how the Evil Queen cursed everyone in the fairy tale world into Storybrooke, a small town in Maine. The Queen, Regina, used the help of a powerful wizard, Rumpelstiltskin. None of the characters, except the Queen and the dark wizard could remember their past lives until Snow and Charming's daughter, Emma Swan, arrived in town. She was sent to our world by her parents when she was a baby to escape the curse and she had no idea of who she was.
It was Henry, Regina's adoptive son (also Emma's son who she gave up at his birth), who has a book of fairy tales called Once Upon a Time, who found Emma and told her she was the only one able to break the spell.
The first season ended with Emma breaking the curse and everyone getting back their memories but still being stuck in Storybrooke and no way to go back to their previous land. Rumpelstiltskin brought magic to the town but no one knows why.
2x01 : Broken (Sep. 30, 2012)
The story picks up just after the cursed was broken at the end of last season and with Rumpelstiltskin having brought back magic to Storybrooke.
2x02 : We Are Both (Oct. 7, 2012)
2x03 : Lady Of The Lake (Oct. 14, 2012)
This episode focuses on Emma and Snow, prisoners from Mulan. They meet Regina's mother there. Meanwhile, in Storybrooke, Henry and Prince Charming try to find if Regina has a way to Fairy Tale world.
2x04 : The Crocodile (Oct. 21, 2012)
From the clip, we found out that Captain Hook will interact with our heroes. There is no clue yet on if it happened in the past or in present time.

U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel, headed to the White house as President-elect Barack Obama's new chief of staff, will resign his congressional seat on Friday.
U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel, headed to the White house as President-elect Barack Obama's new chief of staff, will resign his congressional seat on Friday.
He delivered the news in an automated telephone call Monday to constituents.
Emanuel most recently was swept up in the controversy surrounding Gov. Rod Blagojevich's Dec. 9 arrest on federal corruption charges, which include accusations the governor tried to sell the appointment to Obama's former Senate seat.
Emanuel - who was elected to Congress in 2002, replacing Blagojevich in the 5th District covering parts of Chicago and its suburbs - was the only member of the Obama transition team to discuss the Senate appointment with the governor, according to a report released last week by Obama after an internal investigation. Emanuel gave Blagojevich and his top aide the names of people the president-elect thought would make good senators.
But the congressman didn't know Blagojevich was looking for something in return and the conversations were "totally appropriate and acceptable," according to incoming White House lawyer Greg Craig, who conducted the investigation and wrote the report.
Neither Obama nor any staff member has been accused of wrongdoing. Emanuel has refused to discuss the matter publicly.
Although former Emanuel aides say the congressman and Blagojevich weren't especially close, the governor would accept his calls. And Emanuel has described himself as a one-time informal adviser to Blagojevich during his 2002 gubernatorial race.
Emanuel, who served as President Clinton's political adviser, was credited with helping Democrats regain control of the U.S. House in 2006, when he headed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He raised huge amounts of money, recruited candidates and decided where to devote the party's time and money.
When Emanuel formally submits his resignation, Blagojevich will have five days to schedule a special election to take place within 115 days.
Lucio Guerrero, the governor's spokesman, said he did not yet know when the governor intended to set the election.
State Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie - a member of the House committee considering whether to recommend impeaching Blagojevich - said he is "just hoping the governor follows the law to the letter."
"I think we'd prefer that he'd not do anything, but this not as open-ended as appointing a senator," Lang said. "We need to make sure we have a congressman in place."
Several clout-heavy Chicago politicians have already expressed interest in replacing the 49-year-old Democrat in Congress. Possible candidates who've been mentioned include Chicago Aldermen Thomas Allen and Gene Schulter, Cook County Commissioner Mike Quigley and state Reps. John Fritchey and Nancy Kaszak.
In his call Monday, Emanuel urged constituents to continue calling his congressional office with any concerns until his replacement is chosen.
"I also want you to know, it has been a privilege and an honor to serve as your representative for the last six years," he said. "Thank you for the opportunity and thank you for your confidence."

The ultra light jacket and pants are lightweight, comfortable and very high quality and has been tested and used by hunters nationwide. Varmint hunters may find the sniper style suits to be better suited for their expertise. The poncho style hunting ghillie suits are popular with turkey hunters and other hunters that will not be moving around much.

Ever have days where you're not quite feeling yourself? Soon you may be able to make yourself into someone else -- at least online.
A team of veteran game developers from Romania have built what they're calling FaceRig, a piece of software that maps your facial movements in real time onto the head of an animated character. The project's currently making a run on Indiegogo, where it has far surpassed its $120,000 fundraising goal with 28 days left to go in the campaign.
Although the use of such software would at this point be highly limited in actual games, its purpose -- at least initially -- is a little more realistic. The idea is to stream the resultant output to Skype, Twitch, or any other Webcam-based service. The program uses real-time image-based tracking technology developed by Sweden's Visage Technologies, and audio processing to alter your voice to make you sound more like a character.
In this way, you could build yourself an online persona specifically for interacting with others; the four examples used by creator HoloTech are a fox, an anime lady, a demon, and a space captain.
At launch, there will be 10 avatars and backgrounds available, with the ability to customize the avatars. More avatars will be made available over time in packs that can be purchased by the user, and HoloTech expects that there will be a lot of free, community-created content available. The program will also be available over both desktop and mobile platforms, each with its own exclusive avatars and backgrounds.
Licenses start with a pledge as low as $5 for the home user, up to $50, which includes all future expansions. Business licenses start at $40.

Answers for: Fear/Procrastination
What If You Were Wrong About Marketing?
Lately, I've been playing the "what if you were wrong" game with my coaching clients. It goes like this:
Client: Jane at XYZ Company hasn't called me back. They must not want to hire me.
C.J.: What if you were wrong about that?
Client: Hmm, maybe I should call her and ask what's up? Read more
Public Speaking, Your Business and You
Have you ever considered using public speaking as a way to get noticed and get clients? Does the idea of standing up in front of a group, even a small one, strike fear into your heart? Or maybe you love it, yet haven't explored using it in your business. And what is public speaking, anyway? Read more
Direct Contact = Good Business
Have you ever thought about calling someone to offer them your services, or invite them to coffee, or some other business-y thing, only to put the phone down and get distracted doing something else? When I think about drawing a straight line from my activities to making money, direct contact is the #1 thing that comes to mind. Which leads the question, what is direct contact, why is it sometimes so hard to do, and why does it strike fear into the hearts of so many of us? Read more
What is a Sales Conversation?
Recently I talked with a professional who is thinking of leaving her corporate job and going out on her own. As this was an introductory conversation to see if she and I might work together as coach and client, we quickly covered some of the basics: Did she have an idea of what her business would be? Who would she target as a client? How would she find those clients? We went on like that for an hour; it was a delightful conversation, with her sharing her vision and us looking at ways to create that for her. Read more
The Art and Skill of Follow-Up
If I had to name one thing that causes more independent professionals to fail at marketing than any other, it would be lack of follow-up. Every day, I see entrepreneurs do a fabulous job at filling their marketing pipeline with prospective clients, and then fail miserably at following up with them. Read more
Rejection: It's Not About You
One of the most persistent barriers to success for self-employed professionals is fear of rejection. Sometimes this fear is quite conscious. You know that you are avoiding marketing and sales because you're afraid your prospects will say no.
Other times the fear is lurking in the background, making an impact you're not always aware of. You may find yourself procrastinating about making a phone call or setting up a sales appointment, and blame it on laziness or poor time management. Or you may avoid following up because you "don't want to bug people." Or perhaps it feels pushy to ask directly for a sale. Read more
What Do You REALLY Want?
Lately I've been struck by how people answer the question of what they really want. When I ask, they give me an answer that sounds more like what they'd be OK with rather than their bigger picture desire. If I probe a little deeper, they usually say something about how they're just trying to be realistic. Read more
Life Is What Happens While You're Busy Making Other Plans
It seems like I sat down just yesterday to write an article — I had a great idea and everything — then I looked up and more than a month had gone by. What the heck happened, I asked myself? Short answer: LIFE. Read more
Asking for Help Is Not Cheating
A desperate entrepreneur contacted me recently. "I need to get clients immediately," she said. "I've been trying for months with no success, and I'm almost out of money." When I asked her how she had been marketing herself all this time, she gave me the following list of what she had been doing: Read more
Can You See Your Comfort Zone from Here?
I've been thinking a lot about comfort zones lately, mostly because I can't seem to see mine very clearly anymore. Or more accurately stated, I can see it, I just haven't spent that much time there recently. Read more

I came across these somewhat shocking images in the summer issue of Port Magazine and I've been entranced by them ever since. They were shot, yes, they're photos, by Giles Revell, a brilliant photographer who managed to capture images that looked more like fine art paintings. My guess would be that he carefully lit each set up and then used some sort of HDR processing to pull out some of the more subtle details. There's also the color of each of these, which are all stunning. The murky combinations of greens and blood reds provide an intense contrast that only makes the work stand out even more.
Despite how gruesome these may look, I still find them quite beautiful.
