In adapting Cynthia Stockley's well-known novel for the screen with the help of the stage version made by Ben Teal and John P. Ritter, the producers have utilized enough material from these to hold the attention of the spectator through eight reels, "Poppy's" length. The minutes that are consumed in running off a picture of this length are many, and it is no mean feat to give an audience enough entertainment so that its interest will not lag during this period of time, but all concerned in the production of this film have fulfilled the requirements.
In directing the material in an easy-going scenario, Edward Jose has done good work. He gets all the dramatic value out of various scenes without allowing them to be anti-climatic.
The story of Poppy Destin is much to involved to straighten out in small space. It embraces her fight for happiness against almost overwhelming odds from the time she is a young girl, in South Africa, to her return to that portion of the globe as a successful novelist. What she goes through, a marriage which she is too young to know what it all means, and her fight for success in London as a writer, contains enough happenings to satisfy even the most exacting spectator.
Norma Talmadge, the star, displays her usual ability and attractiveness in the title role. She is supported by a capable cast, including Eugene O'Brien, Frederick Perry, Jack Meredith, Dorothy Rogers, Edna Whistler, and Marie Haines.
"Poppy" should draw for several reasons--the popularity of the novel on which it is based, the box-office value of the star and the fact that it is a Selznick picture.
Eight-Part Production for Selznick Program Features Norma Talmadge Adaptation of Cynthia Stockley's Story.
Reviewed by Margaret I. MacDonald.
"POPPY" represents a "miss" on quality. A popular star and an unpleasant and badly-produced story are its chief characteristics, side by side with an unwholesomeness of atmosphere. As presented the story is complicated and illogical and of questionable moral tone. Norma Talmadge is not at her best in the picture, and exaggerations such as uncalled for destruction of furniture by one of the bad men of the story are freqquent (sic).
The story of "Poppy" tells of how a young girl converted by a cruel aunt into a drudge on a South African farm runs away and finally finds herself in the home of an affinity of one of the three bad men of South Africa. This man takes her to his beautiful home under pretense of philanthropy, and previous to leaving on a visit to Europe he calls in a French priest who marries him to the girl, who is led to suppose that she is merely being adopted. She stays within the bounds of his home and garden without mingling with a living creature other than the servants, until one night the third of the three bad men, a bachelor, in a delirium from an attack of fever, enters the grounds by a gate that has accidentally been left unlocked. The girl happening there also a love scene is enacted which we are startled to learn near the close of the picture resulted in the birth of a child, which falls from a window in London, where his mother has become famous in the literary world, and is killed. The story is given happy ending by having the husband renounce Poppy in favor of the other man.
The production is one of that questionable type of life which has nothing but its rottenness to recommend it as an entertaining subject for the screen.
[Photo omitted: Talmadge and O'Brien at an afternoon party. Caption: Scene from "Poppy" (Selznick).]
Norma Talmadge in "Poppy," an adaptation of Cyhthia Stockley's charming novel of South African life, is the next Selznick-Pictures release. Director Edward Jose has finished cutting and assembling the picture and it will be shown for review this week.
Joseph M. Schenck president of the Norma Talmadge Film Corporation, Mr. Selznick and all his executive staff attended a private showing of "Poppy" last week and all enthusiastically pronounced it by far the finest production in which Miss Talmadge has yet appeared. The central role affords the talented young star an extraordinary chance to display the versatility that has made her famous, a gift that enables her to make the transition from childhood to maturity with remarkable ease.
"Poppy" first gained its fame in book form, written by Cynthia Stockley. With Norma Talmadge starred, it has been made for the screen, under the direction of Edouard Jose. "Poppy," according to reports from England, where it was first heard from, was an immensely popular novel over there, so intensely in favor the presses could not keep up with the demand. Over here the story is not as well known, and while in English speaking countries abroad, "Poppy" filmized will be relished as the visualization of a dearly beloved tale, in America, on the sheet it must stand by itself as a feature picture. The Jos. M. Schenck Co. presents Miss Talmadge in "Poppy." It gives that young screen star a sweetly pathetic role that remains with her from the beginning, when but a waif, to the finale, when, as Eve Destiny, a famous authoress, she finds solace in the love of the man thought by her forever lost. "A sweetly sympathetic role," at least for contrast with the more strident demands of picturedom in special feature films especially can do no harm to Miss Talmadge. It may attract an added clientele to her banner, for there is no male who can pretend to gauge how a picture such as "Poppy" will appeal to the feminine heart. It surely can not turn the feminine mind against poor little Poppy, who had but her own head to lead her and was the victim of a scheming old rogue. There is a spot in the picture that stands out. It is where Poppy, after having been married unknown to herself (she believing the ceremony one of guardianship), walks, while in the garden of her home, into the arms of the hero of her dreams, the man who once saved her from the attack of an African negro and then disappeared. It was picture license perhaps as well as novel writing that only could bring this meeting about and there was a tinge of sadness to the audience, who knew Poppy's hero at the time was delirious from fever. However, Poppy, without reservation, delivered herself to him, for that evening only, and he again disappeared from her life. She remained, however, to have her delicate condition discovered by her husband upon his return from England (the earlier and final scenes are laid in Africa). Poppy fled and left him a husband only by virtue of the certificate he had viciously secured, Poppy going to London and endeavoring to earn her living by writing. Story after story was returned, and to climax her anguish, the little son born to her in London was killed by a fall from a window. Fate then decreed that her suffering should be eased by checks from publishers and as Eve Destiny, Poppy's fame spread even back to her native land, where she returned sometime afterward, to seek an annulment of her marriage. Taken up by society, it leaked out Poppy had a "past," but at the night of a ball in her honor, Poppy was redeemed through explanations and again gained the love of her hero-seducer, he recalling "that night in the gardens." One feels for "Poppy's troubles and though, perhaps the English did accept in good faith that bit of the garden that meant so much afterward. Americans can hardly believe there is a good girl who would have done the same thing, without at least asking the man his name, something Poppy, in her excitement, seemed to forget. But it makes a box office incident for a "sweet" picture, and as such, is of great value to it. Miss Talmadge takes to the part with east and this is of help. The picture looks expensive in the producing, and Mr. Jose got all possible out of the direction. At the New York Monday and Tuesday, where "Poppy" was shown for the two days (the house usually holding a feature but one day), "Poppy" seemed to have extraordinary drawing power, holding a line in the front of the house almost intact each evening.
The Shadow Stage: A department of Photoplay Review
by Julian Johnson
"Poppy" is the best vehicle Norma Talmadge's talents have ridden in since "Panthea," and in many ways is a marker screen play, for, like the Cynthia Stokely novel from which it was adapted, it has an unwonted freedom from the conventional manner of narration, and a remarkably effortless play upon and development of human character, of the usual bad puppets and good puppets and mediocre puppets who are at once the furniture and cogs of contemporary screen drama. This author starts with the assumption that all her mimic people are more or less wicked, and that it's up to the years, experience, chastening sorrows and perhaps some love to make them a bit better, if not really good. Which is about like real life--isn't it? The action passes mainly in South Africa. Poppy Destin, bound out to a Scotchwoman who is a sort of super-Boer, vamps away to the swamps and freedom. Luce Abinger, a gentleman of slightly predatory instinct, finds her at the gate of his compound; takes her in, educates her, and upon the verge of a departure for England, marries her with a French ceremony which she believes is legal adoption. The author now steps heavily upon the accelerator of probability when she asks us to believe that a young man wandering in the delirium of fever can be a genuine Don Juan; but after this shoal the tale flows in smooth lifelikeness to its conclusion. Poppy sails to London, struggles for literary success, and beholds her beloved little nameless boy die in a fall from a window on the very day that triumph came. Eventually, back to Africa, where she divorces Abinger, and, after enduring a barrage of moral stone-throwing by a lady who lives in a large glass house, she weds Sir Evelyn Carson, her rare knight who could unite a temperature with temperament.
The easy, human performances of most of the people in this play assure us that the screen naturalness not only endures, but flourishes. Miss Talmadge passes perfectly from short-frocked, barbarous childhood to slightly satiric, elegant maturity. There is not another camera woman who could so contrive this character's long range and unexpurgated catalogue of every female emotion. Eugene O'Brien is so fine as Carson that we wonder why we don't see more of his work before the camera. Frederick Perry brings all the assets of his acting maturity to Abinger, and there is a wonderful colored woman the cast doesn't name. Edward Jose is stamped by this picture a genuinely big-time director.
One of Talmadge's most flamboyant films of this period, Poppy has a delirious plot that leaves one shaking one's head in amazement. Some of the furniture destruction Margaret MacDonald complained of survives in the existing fragments-the last two reels of an abridged version of the film which leaves the action careening from one incident to the next.

Skulpt Aim, a Must-Have Fitness Gadget
Skulpt Aim is the new fitness tracker that accurately measures body fat percentage and muscle quality for individual muscles. With its sensors and corresponding app, you can measure your body fat in the privacy of your own home any time you want.
It also gauges your muscle quality, providing you a graphical view of your body while working out to meet your goals. It can measure up to 24 different muscle groups, so you can see your strongest areas and the ones you need to improve. Each measurement takes less than a second and results are immediately displayed.
Using Skulpt Aim is simple and painless. Hold the Skulpt Aim against the body part you want to measure, and it sends a painless current through the muscle to examine how quickly it travels. The faster the current flows through your muscle, the leaner you are. By measuring 4 muscles (biceps, triceps, abs, and quads), you get a total body fat percentage and MQ (muscle quality) score. This way, you are able to see when you're losing fat and gaining muscle.
The gadget sends the results to your iOS / Android Bluetooth Smart to track progress, and exercise smarter.
Some key features of this gadget include being splash-proof which was technically designed for worry-free use. It is compact, small and convenient so as to be carried and used anywhere.
The Skulpt Aim Package comes with a charging cradle, travel pouch, and spray water bottle. You can get the package at $199, but it's worth it for those who want to track their results.

One of the "joys" of womanhood, our monthly menstrual flow, can sometimes come with some surprises. One of those occurrences for many women is menstrual blood clots. Most women want to know if this is normal – and why it is happening.
Your Period
During your monthly cycle the lining of your uterus (endometrium) grows thick and increases the blood supply to support a potential pregnancy. When a pregnancy does not occur the drop in hormones (especially progesterone) leads to a release of the innermost lining of the uterus and we experience a period. In an average period women lose 30-40ml (6-8 tsp) of blood, with women experiencing heavy periods losing more than 60ml (12 tsp).
Blood Clots During Your Period
In a typical menstrual flow, the blood is not clotted due to the release of anticoagulants. The contraction of the uterus also stops further bleeding from the remaining blood supply to the uterus, and helps to expel the menstrual blood. After 3 to 4 days of bleeding, most of the inner lining of the endometrium (the "stratum functionalis") has been released and blood loss slows considerably.
Blood clots are often a consequence of heavy menstrual flow. When the blood loss is too much, or too fast, the anticoagulants produced are not adequate to breakdown the lining of the uterus and prevent further clotting. Most women who experience clotting do so on the heaviest days of their menstrual period.
Possible Underlying Causes of Menstrual Blood Clots
Sometimes clots are actually a very early stage miscarriage. These clots may be found along with small gray clumps of tissue. If you experience other signs or symptoms of pregnancy along with clots, you may consider having your beta HCG levels tested to determine if it was, indeed, an early miscarriage.
Uterine Fibroids (Leiomyomas)
Uterine fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) growths that occur in the muscular layer of the uterus. Some women with fibroids experience no symptoms at all, but for many women with fibroids they experience heavy periods (and blood clots) as a result. Fibroids are more likely to occur as we get older, especially after having children. Fibroids are also more common in women of African descent, those who are overweight and those with a family history of fibroids.
Adenomyosis occurs when the endometrium breaks through into the muscular layer of the uterus (the myometrium). This can cause cramping, bloating, heavier menstrual periods and the presence of blood clots. Adenomyosis is also more common with age, in women who have had children, and in those who have had uterine surgery (such as a Caesarean section).
Iron deficiency
In one of the great injustices in women's health one major consequence of heavy periods, iron deficiency, can also lead to heavy periods. If you are experiencing heavy periods it is vitally important to test your hemoglobin, hematocrit and ferritin (iron) levels and build up your iron levels if needed.
Hormonal imbalances
Imbalances between the two main female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, can lead to increased thickening of the uterine lining, resulting in heavy menstrual periods and blood clots. Imbalances in these hormones can occur at any stage of the reproductive life span, but are most common during adolescence and through the 40s and perimenopausal years.
Thyroid imbalances
The thyroid is a small, butterfly shaped gland in your neck that controls your metabolic rate and has significant impacts on your hormonal health. An underactive thyroid can cause many symptoms – fatigue, difficulty losing weight, hair loss, and heavy periods. And with these heavy periods may come menstrual blood clots.
Recommended Testing for Menstrual Clots
If you regularly experience blood clots during your period, having some laboratory and imaging studies done is a good idea. It can help you understand why you are experiencing blood clots and your Naturopathic or Medical Doctor can work with you to determine an appropriate treatment plan.
Complete blood cell count – including hemoglobin and hematocrit to look for healthy red blood cells
Ferritin – to assess for iron deficiency anemia
TSH and complete thyroid panel – to assess health of the thyroid
Female hormone panel – to compare levels of estrogen and progesterone, along with other reproductive hormones, to ensure balance
Transvaginal or pelvic ultrasound – to identify uterine fibroids or other abnormalities of the uterus and uterine lining
MRI – a further visual assessment of the uterus if ultrasound is not adequate
If you are experiencing heavy periods and menstrual clotting, speaking to your Medical or Naturopathic Doctor can help you understand why you are experiencing these symptoms and develop a treatment that is as unique to your body and your period.

All is Well, All is Safe
Chicago police are searching for two gunmen who forced a woman off a Blue Line train and sexually assaulted her just two blocks from a Logan Square neighborhood police station last month.
The 52-year-old woman met the two suspects June 30 as she boarded the train at the West Side Kedzie-Homan stop, police said.
They later forced her off the train at gunpoint at the California station about 6:30 a.m. and took her to an apartment in the 2800 block of West Lyndale where they sexually assaulted her, according to a community alert issued by Area North detectives.

If supporters of Little Shelter in Huntington and Bobbi and the Strays in Ozone Park are on pins and needles at the moment, it's no surprise. Both New York shelters, along with 18 fellow contenders nationwide, are among the top twenty finalists in the highly publicized Zootoo Shelter Makeover Contest, which will award a top prize of a $1 million makeover to the winning shelter.
The contest, created by Zootoo founder Richard Thompson, has for the past several months drawn national attention to the important contributions being made in cities and towns across America by animal shelters. Recognizing that many shelters are limited in their efforts by a lack of funding for shelter improvements, Mr. Thompson created the Zootoo Shelter Makeover Contest to recognize and provide funds for some of the country's most deserving shelters. In addition to the top prize of a $1 million makeover, 19 other shelters will receive prizes of $5,000 to $10,000 to be used for shelter improvements.
The contest's first phase drew to a close at the end of March, when selection of the 20 finalists was completed. Shelters accrued points based on their supporters' on-line participation on Zootoo.com, the largest pet community site for lovers of all types of pets. The 20 shelters that accrued the highest number of points were named finalists. In April, site visits by Mr. Thompson and his team to each of the top 20 shelters began, and when those visits have been completed, in mid-May, Mr. Thompson will announce the winner on national television.
To generate enthusiasm for the contest and awareness of the extraordinary efforts being made by shelters and rescue groups nationwide, Mr. Thompson appeared on Fox's The Mike & Juliet Show on March 14. In recognition of NYC's model collaborative efforts to save lives and end animal homelessness, he invited Mayor's Alliance President Jane Hoffman to appear with him on the show, accompanied by Mickey, Pebbles, Wilma, and Cricket, four fabulous dogs for adoption. (To view a clip of the show, click here.)
The Mayor's Alliance is proud that two of its member organizations achieved top-20 status in the makeover contest. And regardless of which shelter wins the top prize, all shelters are winners because the contest has shone a bright light on the important work they do.
To keep the momentum going, Zootoo already has launched a new contest — "Zootoo to the Rescue Sweepstakes" — to recognize and reward rescue groups for their lifesaving efforts. To read more about the sweepstakes, to keep abreast of results in the Shelter Makeover Contest, or to find out how you can join Zootoo.com's online pet community, visit the website atwww.Zootoo.com.

I am mostly known under my convention nick Kendra and I really answer to it. I am married an live in Czech republic, in Prague. I can speak English (good) and German (not as good) but my first language is Czech. I work as an academic librarian; I answer to "library girl" as well.
Besides doll clothes, I love to sew my own clothing too. To name some more of my favourite stuff, it is books (SF, fantasy, historical fiction and non-fiction, period dramas, fashion history, sewing and crafts), Star Gate, Star Wars and other Disney fairy-tales, tea, chocolate, home-made pastry, theatre, historical reenacting, castles, fortresses, museums & galleries.
My doll history
I had many dolls as a child – cheap Chinese imitations of Barbie and Ken (my friends called them just "Barbieguys"), one 1/1 baby-doll wearing my old toddler clothes and some more small dolls. I was not really interested in carrying the baby-doll in a stroller; I loved my "Barbies" and "Kens" (they had no names) and made my first doll clothes for them.
There was a big cardboard box in my mother's sewing room and it was full of cloth clippings, old tees and pieces of curtains. That was my treasure box! I started with easiest clothes – swimsuits and dresses. They were made of swimsuit fabric clippings in neon colors, all crooked and stitched with the most bulky black yarn I could even found. I was so proud of myself! My mother was proud too, she just told me not to prick myself. Actually, I did for a few times but it's the best school you can have in your life, isn't it?
All grown up, I enjoy my dolls even more now. My quarter is full of "doll mess"; my kitchen is a sewing workshop. I'd love to make doll clothes, furniture, tableware and all necessities from every historical period. And some fantasy stuff. Science fiction stuff! Contemporary stuff! And… you know what? Let's stop planning and start working. That's the best way to fulfill your dreams.
Hugs, Kendra

I've decided to make a goodwill game report after each night when the game concluded till the Games end. So that those of you who are outside of the US may enjoy the games too. These reports will not be written by myself(that's doesn't mean I don't have the telant to), it will be written by others gymnastics fans in e-mail form (since these are e-mails from Gymn-L) who are at New York watching the competition live, please enjoy!
1) Dominique- I must say, she deserved the win and was very emotional upon realizing she won. Her start values were ten for all events except vault where she had a 9.8 and a 9.9 Her vault score was 9.587, bars-9.625, beam 9.75 and floor 9.7 (As I continue I will just list scores, know that they go from vault on.) Her bars in very interesting, with her mount somewhat like Amy Chow's but goes right to the Shapashnikova. Her pak to toe on was great and was her 1 1/2 to double front. She really was spot on entirely and I hate to make false predictions, but she just may be national champ in a month. Her only flaw that I saw was that her triple didn't fully rotate.. 2) Olaru- the perfect example of not needing ten SV's since none of her routines did. She was consistent but unspectacular and I really didn't take too much notice of her. Her scores were 9.55, 9.55, 9.625 and 9.25. 3) Amanar-in person she is spectacular. Her fall on beam was unfortunate because the rest of her routine was great. I really liked her floor though there was a technical error from the meet. the green light wouldn't turn on so the head judge had to raise her hand to signal to go. Her vaults were great but she still pikes badly on her phelps. her scores were 9.6, 9.425, 9.15, 9.675. 4)Meng Fei- Love the floor. She was also very consistent. Her bars and beam start from ten , but her vaults are only 9.5 and 9.6. her scores were 9.237, 9.5, 9.6, and 9.5 5) Sapunar- it was very unfortunate. During her warm-up vault she hyperextended her knees and was in tears for a few moments. I think it rattled her. However once past vault she was really great. Her bars is the typical CGA clean and crisp. Her routines are exciting and I really like her. She only had on 10 SV and that was bars. Beam and floor were 9.9 and vaults were 9.5 and 9.6, her scores were 9.012, 9.575, 9.525 and 9.475. She has a bright future and I think she will do well at nationals. 6.Olga Teslneko had a hard day. She just looked sluggish. She has great form and typical Ukrainian technique. her SV's were all tens except vault which was 9.5 and 9.6 I'm sorry I don't have much more on her. her scores were 9.025, 9.6, 9.425 and 9.425 7) Khorkina SIGH,- my friend Sveta didn't do so well. She had trouble on her khorkina vault and her 1 1/2 yurchenko was off. Her bars were fantastic, and her beam was good except for a few big bobbles. She just ran out of steam on floor. She was VERY unhappy and left the arena. I really felt for her. Her floor was to pulp fiction and her triple full was really nice. I really hope she does better in EF. 8)Zeena Mclaughlin-SImone- I told her you said good luck and she almost cried. She was very happy to know that people in Australia are thinking of her. Ok, her SV's were v-9.5 and 9.8-she did a yurchenko full and a 1 1/2. her score was 9.262. Her bars Sv was 9.8 and she got a 9.250. her bars was not so great today. Her beam SV is 9.8 and it was pretty good for a 9.4. Her floor was a 9.9 SV. When the music started, it was Simona Amanar's music and there was a short delay. She looked rattled but did very well. I really like the floor ex and a lot of the fans were cheering for her. 9)Ling Jie-I didn't see much of her because most of the times I had stuff to do was during her routines. 9.8, beam 9.9 with a score of 8.65. She had two falls on that routine and the audience really seemed to feel for her. Her floor was a 9.9 SV and a 9.525 score. 10) Produnova- very difficult night but she held up really well and was very sportsmanlike. She had big steps on her vaults and her phelps was so bad I almost choked. Her back was arched and her legs bent and it was terrible. Her vault score was 9.375 though. Her bars was a 9.4 for a decent routine, her beam a 9.05 for a fall, and floor a 8.95 for a fall on her double front. She did nail her arabian double, punch front and her artistry was great. 11) Alena Polozkova. I think I can sum it up by saying, before her floor we were chatting and she was very down. She was very cute though and her SVs were v-9.5 and 9.8, bars-10 with a score of I told her a great floor would be good to get her back on track. She hit floor and then gave me HUGE smile and a thumbs up sign. So, that's about it. Dominique cried quite a bit during the awards ceremony and the new USAG president presented her with a 10,000 dollar check. All in all it was a fun night. I thought you guys might want to know about it. Oh yeah, it turns out halfway throughout the first rotation we discovered that the Hungarian and Chinese judges were in the wrong seats and their scores were coming up inverted as a result. It was kind of funny. I hope you enjoyed this. I'll be back tomorrow night with the men's AA. How was the TV coverage? Goodnight, AlisaTo the Top
A few things worth mentioning: First, some nice things: 1. I loved the way they introduced the gymnasts at the beginning. They all had to walk up to a microphone, and introduce themselves. Most of them said, "Hello, my name is ______and I am from_______." The Chinese were really cute- just about everyone else knew how to say this in English, and I don't think they did. Meng Fei just said, "Meng Fei, China." and I still don't know what Ling Jie said. She was so adorable, you could tell that everyone in the audience thought so. Poor Zeena McLaughlin had to go first, (they went alphabetically, according to country) and she kept looking back at a volunteer, not sure if this is what she really has to do. Svetlana Khorkina was funny too. She had a big smile on her face, and the only way I can describe her voice is joyous. "Hello everyone! I am Svetlana Khorkina, and I am from Russia!" 2. The last meet I attended was the Olympic Team Competition, and after experiencing the "I'm embarrassed to be an American" feeling after the way the foreign athletes were treated there, I was proud to be one last night and even proud to be a New Yorker, something that does not happen often. Sure, the crowd cheered the most for Dominique (but she deserved it) and the second most for Sierra, but they showed appreciation for everyone, and seemed honestly sorry for anyone who fell. One moment that stands out was the supportive, encouraging clapping that everyone did for Ling Jie after she fell twice from beam. And after Alena Polozkova fell on bars and beam, she got some of the loudest applause after she hit floor (unless it was just because they liked her tacky leotard- this is Long Island we're talking about). And there were a group of girls who yelled "Let's Go ______" for just about everyone at one time or another. -that's who Svetlana was blowing kisses to after vault. The only thing annoying about the crowd was the use of flashbulbs, usually only when Dominique was up. Not as bad as in Atlanta, but it got worse as the evening went on- I guess the security didn't do anything and the people got braver. Of course, there are some things I could have done without... 1. Taz, the mascot dancing around between rotations 2. The people shooting t-shirts into the crowd between rotations- this is getting more and more popular- first I witnessed this at an Islander game last year, then a Mets game last weekend. They make obnoxious noise, and at one point I thought they were going to hit the girls warming up on beam! 3. The elevator music during everything but floor- too loud and makes me not want to ever listen to Phil Collins again 4. The big fat check they handed Dominique at the awards ceremony. She looked embarassed about it. How cheesy. 5. And the worst of all.......I had awesome seats in the second row, the corner between vault and beam, I had my Dad's camera with the telephoto lens (no flash of course) that I took 36 pictures with, and found out this morning when I tried to take the film out that it jammed and I GOT NO PICTURES AT ALL!!!!!! Well, at least it was only the first night, I am going Tuesday and Wednesday and my seats are just as good..... Anyway, I just wanted to share some of the experiences I had that you won't get on TBS (well, judging from last night's coverage, what did we get from TBS? Oh yeah, Bart and Cathy calling both Russian gymnasts "bizzare" and "freakish")- if anyone has any questions or things that they would like to share, feel free to e-mail me. I'm off to watch TBS tonight, but then I'll be back there live tomorrow and Wednesday! Thanks Ted Turner! Ellen Mastic Beach, Long Island, NYTo the Top
It was an incredible night for Dominique and she deserved every bit of the win! She has matured so much both physically and gymnastically and her floor routine and she was just beautiful to watch. Our Russian visitors staying with us for one month- Ksenia Kekkonen and her coach Olga Efimova- were very impressed with Dominique. On the other hand, I was very dissappointed in Prudunova whose form I thought was very sloppy and her skills poorly executed. Khorkina was good as usual but seemed to give up going into floor knowing that there was no way to catch Dominique. By the way, we videotaped the entire competition! Every blessed routine including the emotional award ceremony. Seeing Dominique's tears of happiness brought tears to our eyes as well. What a great comeback for her. I'm sure we will see many more great things from this gymnast!To the Top
Okay, I was there, here's some other stuff, or disagreements with others - Moceanu - A completely new gymnast, and one I love. Serious, CLEAN, attention to artistic quality, lines, nice choreography on floor and especially BEAM, all those who didn't see it on TV were ROBBED. Her Yurch 1*s in warmup were awesome, less so in meet, but her layout front 1/2 is TEXTBOOK, the heeldrive alone is worth paying your money. And BTW folks, its not a layout cuervo, that's what Polozkova does, the technique is entirely different. Back to Moceanu, to watch her stay on fully extended toe during the entire rotation of a dbl turn on floor was inspiring, considering the junk she used to do. And I love the serious, calm demeanor, as opposed to the fake smile/sell we used to get. If this new coach can get these results out of a girl this fast, may we send the entire national team to her. Bravo, bravo, a deserved win. Romania - looked off peak, good dbl twist Yurchenkos, Olaru stood everything up, but she is so archy on bars and was uncharactaristically sloppy on floor, and aside from her vaults and tumbling Amanar was UNWATCHABLE.Honestly, she is absolutely uninteresting or abonminable in every area except tumbling, she has NO swing on bars, and if she retires afterwards as has been threatened, I will heave a sigh of relief. She did however look quite pretty in the red/black leo. Teslenko - bars and beam stellar, her Higgens are my favorite moves, and she does the smoothest geinger on the planet. Okay on floor, but why is it the Ukrainians can't vault? A weak, sloppy, archy pike front and pike front 1/2 with no possible upgrading that I can see. Oh well, so she's a 2 event girl. China - Ling Jei. Oh my God. The tightest, straightest handestand position thru the hips and shoulders I have EVER SEEN. And the longest bar set, she healy's in and out of inverts twice, 2 releases, hecht btw the bars, etc, she never stops. Beam could have been the best, 2 falls. I liked the effort to be interesting on floor, choreog needs some finetuning, but overall impressive. Meng Fei. Typical, beautiful, consistant job, but why don't they fix the dreadful toe circle to dead hang section of her bar set? Again, you were robbed of her exquiste beam, it is head and shoulders above anyone else there. Khorkina - I got to see her warmup beam, it was perfect over and over again, she vaulted better than she has in about 2 years, but then you saw the rest. BUT, she and Prod were the ONLY 2 girls to really perform their floors, and the difference was noticeable. I wish Prod was in better shape, she was shaking her ankles all night, but it was great to see her in person. Her Pak is laughably strange, her Phelps is as close to the action I would like to see as I have yet seen. And her hair was fabulous. Sapunar - Her bars were basically good, her beam was spastic, her floor was unwatchable. She needs Prozac now, it's as if she's going to snap her own arms off her body when she uses them. I do not see the AA potential, but apparantly the USAG thinks they do. She wasn't a factor at all. Z McLaughlin - Pretty, flexible, consistent, good on beam and bars, great lines, i was impressed in a quiet way. I will look for her in the future. Polozkova - Was a good guest, she came, looked sexy, bombed, and left. It was nice to see 'her' vault (layout cuervo), even though it is heavily arched and piked down. I like her clean lines, her snap, and her routine construction, she just had a bad meet, as she tends to do. She is , however, definitely watchable. Kuznetsova was chalking bars for Polozkova, it was sweet, I really am looking forward to seeing her and Ungureanu compete. It was not a great meet, but there was interesting stuff, and I was glad I was there. On to the men tomarrow. Later, EricTo the Top

All right, I'll go into them with an open mind and give them a fair shot. If Oblivion is anything like Fallout 3/New Vegas, I'll be sitting pretty.
If Oblivion is anything like Fallout 3/New Vegas, I'll be sitting pretty.
So I got a few itunes cards during the last week from people. Anyone know any decent iphone/pad games worth picking up?
Welcome back Commander ...Okay, so it's not actually out yet, it just got announced today. I'm looking forwards to see what it's like.
Parallel dimensions I won the first time around.They may add a console port after it launches, though I suppose a lot depends on how well the first one sold on the different platforms. Plus if they're looking to do modding support, how much modding can be done on consoles?
Galactic Civilizations 3. Oh god making your own custom race is amazing. Gonna make the Terran Federation and conquer the galaxy for Humanity and bring all those Xenos under our rule.
I've just been watching Matt and Liam go through Life is Strange on theSw1tcher on youtube...it seems interesting but like has been said, the dialogue seems kinda cringey, and I'd rather not support something that takes such a strong stance against any and all movements contrary to feminism.I'm unsure of how I feel about these types of games in general, though. Have also seen others like The Walkng Dead and while the big draw seems to be deciding what happens in the story, it largely doesn't matter because it can only go in so many different directions. I got an Xbox1 almost solely for D4(and I'd much rather Swery spend time on a sequel to Deadly Premonition), but there it feels it's much more focused on puzzles and exploration than making any huge changes - in fact, you're encouraged to stay in character. I don't really know which serves a story driven game better.
Anyone else play Kerbal Space Program or Frozen State? I kind of like them. Frozen State is a really hard top-down survival game in early access (really early, but ten bucks is pretty darn good deal).

First and foremost I will start from the very beginning, and that means that I will try to explain my journey through various musical genres, gaming platforms and how i ended up where I stand right now. I want to point out first, that i completely abandoned video games and that i started to know more about tabletop role-playing games. I did not however abandoned producing music. A lot of things changed since those days and that is just the natural way of my personal development as an individual.
I've been a gamer pretty much through my entire conscious existence on this earth and i think i will remain one in one way or another. I remember that i always had a passion for few things. Music, fantasy literature, history, books in general, drawing stuff, and last but not least, video games.

SCOTLAND'S transformation from Six Nations no-hopers to title contenders is a tag that should be handled with caution.
But David Denton insists the nation now expects as the Dark Blues aim to follow up their heroics at England 2015 with a win over the Auld Enemy this weekend.
An agonising and controversial quarter-final defeat to Australia four months ago remains fresh in the memory.
That disappointment has been eased with the number of Scots converted to a sport that is enjoying a resurgence on the back of a heroic World Cup for Vern Cotter's side.
Despite a seven-game run without a Six Nations win Bath loose forward Denton is convinced the feelgood factor remains intact as they attempt to lift the Calcutta Cup at a sold-out Murrayfield on Saturday.
He said: "The buzz around Scotland at the moment is incredible.
"I couldn't count how many people I've spoken to about the England game on my way to join up with the squad.
"It is awesome to be in that position. Scotland as a nation buys in to the Six Nations and the national team.
"It's a privilege for us to be in this position as there is extra buzz among the public and I hope we can live up to their expectations. We are not taking the job lightly.
"This will be my fourth time playing England. We have played good rugby but the most important thing is to get the result.
"The last time we played down at Twickenham it was not as close. We are always there or thereabouts but it is important we get over the hump and get the win.
"We are trying to harness the good things we put together in the World Cup when we had some extended time together which is something you don't get in international rugby because there are so many club demands.
"That time was invaluable and we have to grow from where we were. We'll learn from the mistakes we made during the World Cup and stay that tight group we created which was part of the reason we were successful in the summer."
New England head coach Eddie Jones has stated his belief Scotland should be regarded as favourites for his first game in charge as he attempts to bring order to a team that failed to progress beyond the group stage at England 2015.
Read More:
That flop prompted ridicule from the English public but Denton believes Scotland should be more than wary of a side still smarting at their embarrassing exit from their own tournament.
He said: "You can't take England lightly. They are a good bunch of players, very skilful, and Eddie Jones is a very good coach. I'm sure he'll have some tricks up his sleeve.
"The way they played at the World Cup was affected by pressure but I'm not sure how that will affect them now.
"I know from speaking to the guys at Bath there's a sense of release. They feel like they have been locked down for a long time with the last regime. I'd expect them to express themselves a bit more in the coming weeks.
"None of us know how they'll react. That's why it's important we focus on what we do. We can watch as many England games as we want but this is a new combination.
"We can expect them to be very motivated coming off the back of a disappointing World Cup for them."
Scotland haven't beaten England since a 15-9 win at home in 2008 but Denton recalls a Calcutta Cup clash four years ago which has bitter-sweet memories as he was left clutching the man-of-the-match award to console him from a 13-6 defeat.
He said: "I will remember that game for a long time. It was my first one against England, I framed the jersey and hung it up in my flat so that's an occasion I'll look back on fondly.
"I was also voted man of the match as well but they don't mean a lot as it is a different opinion from what the coaches might see. The downside was it was not a win."
The sense of a brave new dawn is about to be delivered by the Dark Blues and if it's to be the start of a successful chapter then Scotland will need to win their first Six Nations opener since 2006.
Denton is also aiming to consign history to the bin by ending a long wait to score a try for his country.
He said: "I do score a few tries but they don't tend to be for Scotland. The boys wind me up about it. I'll have to get on the scoresheet."

How Do You Identify True Friends?
Ralph Waldo Emerson said that the only way to have a friend is to be one. The depth of your character is best gauged by the depth of your friendships.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said that the only way to have a friend is to be one. The depth of your character is best gauged by the depth of your friendships.
Recent technology has presented us with a new, potentially devastating forum for inappropriately sexualized relationships. The Internet with its anonymity and wide-open content can tempt us to cross physical and sexual boundaries.
In today's social media–saturated world, no analysis of relationships would be complete without proper attention to the criteria you set for your friends—online and off. If you are engaged in online relationships that you consider to be a prominent source of support and companionship, be sure determine the strength of the relationships based on these factors.
It is because we have so much invested in our online personas – which we seemingly control, more so than in real life – that the prospect of disconnecting can feel devastating.
If you entertain the thought of disconnecting from all things tech for a while, this tech detox experience may give you some idea of what you have to look forward to.
When it comes to technology, our children are mirrors, reflecting our own values, concerns, and priorities.
How do you know if you've crossed over the line from use of technology, to obsession, from controller to being controlled?
The grass may appear greener on the Internet, but it is virtual turf. It's arranged; it isn't real.
Choosing quiet means saying no to technology distractions. It means finding a time each day, whenever possible, to intentionally choose to be fully present with God.

My Role AT VENMO
I worked at Venmo as the only product designer when they were still a small, engineer-dominant start-up. I floated between different teams, working on the marketing website, the web app, the iPhone and Android apps, social media projects, and various internal tools. The great thing about working at a start-up is that everyone does everything. There's no such thing as 'that's not my job'. I learned a lot about code, analytics, and the intricacies of striking a balance between trust and fun in a financial product that put social at it's core.
Venmo is a mobile payment app that lets you make and share payments with anyone. I co-wrote and produced Venmo's first marketing video (above), which tries to capture what we wanted Venmo to be - not just useful, but fun and social as well.
Release & Test Cycles
After unveiling a major redesign of the iPhone and Android apps, I implemented regular user testing for each new update. We had an app release cycle of every 3 weeks for optimizations and new features, which meant the testing needed to be quick and cheap. I conducted tests primarily out in the field, since that would most likely reveal problems not identified in a lab setting, such as connection speed on devices using data.
USER TESTING LOGISTICs
Before I could run tests, I needed to solve the problem of how to record a mobile phone in the field, since this was before some of the awesome mobile-screen recording technology we have now. I researched various recording devices, and due to limitations on budget, I decided to create a DIY recording device which ended up working out well. If you ever want to make one for yourself, here is my recipe!
- Plexiglass
- Plastic Cutter
- Rubber non-slip matting
- Epoxy Glue
- Webcam
User Test Video Clip
Some of the problems that testing uncovered appeared insignificant at first, but eventually uncovered a deeper flaw. For example, during one round I noticed users were having a hard time finding the privacy settings. This seemed like a small detail, but for a payments platform trust is key, and if users didn't feel in control of who was seeing their payments, they were not likely to keep using the app.
I shared key insights with the team after each round of testing, and made recommendations on how to improve the user experience for the next release.
Venmo Family
There's nothing quite like working at a start-up in it's early days. They say UX designers wear many hats, but I never imagined I would be pitching brand colors, writing code, and showing our latest app build to strangers in a public park (between ultimate frisbee breaks of course), all in the same day. But this was the first time in my career that I felt ownership and responsibility for the success of something I worked on. There's no greater motivator, and I will always miss this team!

My thoughts:
Lord of Night by Erica Ridley is book 3 in her exciting "Rogues to Riches" series, while book 3 it can be read as a stand alone.
This is the story of Dahlia Grenville and Simon Spaulding. Dahlia is the mysterious Mayfair thief, she is forced into thievery to keep her School of Wayward Girls afloat. Her patrons support has fallen off, and she knows no other way. Simon is a no nonsense, straight laced bow street runner, his fellow runners calls him the "Lone Wolf", but Simon is determined to bring the mysterious Mayfair thief to justice and straight to the gallows.
Will Simon be able to bring Dahlia to justice, after all, they do have a budding, relationship? Or will Dahlia's lies, secrets, and deceit end their budding relationship , possibly bringing their HEA to an end, after the truth is revealed? Will Simon forfeit his career for his heart and a HEA? You simply must pick up this satisfying Regency Romance to find out for yourselves.
"Lord of Night" is a remarkable story of love, secrets, trust, mystery and the possibility of a HEA. The cast of characters are interesting, engaging and charming, each in their own way, of course. I did wish to shake Dahlia a few times, but life has been hard for her, not that thievery is right, or anything. Simon is a no nonsense, by the book, bow street runner, and a protector. Together, they make a charming couple. I wondered how Ms. Ridley was going to bring their story to an end she did a remarkable job if bring their story to a satisfying end. A page turner and a keeper!

Erica Ridley writes stories that holds her readers captive, as they read her stories. A brilliant and talented storyteller, in my humble opinion.

>Family events are always entertaining when your two grandmothers, aged 84 and 83, are wackadoos. Granted, one is an endearing wackadoo and the other is a spiteful one, but something interesting is always bound to happen with the two of them around.
A few years ago, we went out to breakfast to celebrate my birthday. It was bitterly cold outside, as it frequently is in Chicago in December. My bubbe wore her fur coat to the restaurant. (We were at Le Peep in downtown Evanston for those of you who want a clearly set scene and happen to know the Chicago area.) As we were getting ready to leave, the following argument broke out between Bubbe and Grandma:
Bubbe: I love my mink coat. It is beautiful. It is the best fur coat anyone ever had.
Grannie: Oh yeah? Well I love my beaver. My beaver is soft and fuzzy, and everyone loves to rub it because it feels so good.
Bubbe: My mink is the best. It is new and keeps me so warm.
Grannie: My beaver may be old, but it is still cozy and keeps me warm. I love my beaver.
This went on for a few minutes, getting progressively louder as it got more contentious. My mom and I nearly fell over laughing at all this. Other people in the restaurant stared as my grandma walked out, still shouting about her furry beaver. What better present could I ask for?

Just say anything, I guess.
|my whole weekend so far--
I'd say something interesting, but I'm not into baring my soul to the world at large, especially when my "world at large" includes...pretty much everyone I know. I mean, I'd possibly be more comfortable if I didn't know most of you, because who cares what strangers think, right? ME
And I'd try to say something funny, but I think all my funny is used up for now, and that would also require concentration and making words fit together, which is a skill I seem to have depleted lately. This also explains why I have several tabs open on my computer right now that are unfinished things that need to be finished before lunch and it's 11:48 a.m. And I just remember I have a 1:30 chiropractic appointment, and I haven't showered yet...
So, that explains my state of mind today. Hey, I did say something, right there...
Since it's Good Friday and a special holiday weekend for us, and I don't have any deep thoughts about candy flavors or shoes or tips for driving, dressing, or using Facebook, and I'm out of fun family stories, I thought I'd just share our weekend menu ideas here, instead of on Pinterest. Because everyone knows Pinterest is where entire days of nonrefundable time go to die.
This is also a shout out to any of my vegan friends, because our youngest has been more or less vegan for about 6 weeks, and I'm trying to create dishes she can or will eat, while still including the dyed-in-the-wool dishes we always eat. And, since butter, cream, wheat and meat are very central to our special occasion meals, I'm somewhat stumped. I go completely all Paula Deen for holiday meals. BECAUSE BUTTER Y'ALL.
For some reason, I also haven't started on any of our food yet. Not like I haven't started baking yet...like, I haven't even been to the grocery store yet. Which also means tomorrow I will be in the kitchen freaking out going WHY DIDN'T I START ALL THIS ON WEDNESDAY??
Procrastinating. Procrastinating is why I didn't start all this on Wednesday. That, and a lot of knitting. And my nails are wet. And because DOG. It's a busy life, OK?
Without further ado, here's the bar I've set for my holiday Martha/Paula alter ego this weekend. Bearing in mind that it's just the three of us...so, picture SMALL amounts of everything, except I'm also trying to use up about about 7 dozen extra eggs from our chickens, who must have heard our youngest's new vegan rule and decided they had something to prove.
Homemade hand-dipped chocolates with coconut and peanut-butter
Iced sugar cookies (and by "iced", I mean, I may take a butter knife to them with some icing on it)
Angel food cake with raspberry-current preserves from the garden
Breakfast crepes with apricot preserves
Organic ham from our own pigs
Steamed asparagus (we grow it, but Lord knows it's sure not ready YET, because we live in Narnia)
Homemade pickles
Mashed potatoes
Spinach salad with feta, dried cranberries, almonds and raspberry vinaigrette
OR - pea salad, because spring
Paska - Ukrainian Easter bread
Creme caramel (and no, we don't have a milk cow. I heard that.)
Hard-boiled eggs (did I even need to say that?)
*ponders a moment*
Yeah....Not much of this ties in with our vegan OR plant-based, wheat-free diet idea. *shrugs*
Have a beautiful weekend! Hopefully next time I'll have something more interesting to say.
Feel free to chime in if you have vegan substitutions that non-vegans would also love...

Monday, May 15, 2011
Veteran motivational business leader Dan Cathy may have seemed somewhat out of place in a conference on technology-driven education around the world, but, after all, he was a prime benefactor in making the event happen. They called it the "Imagination Summit[1]," and invited some of the major digital companies to present and inform students, professors and administrators to some of the innovative technologies setting the pace in the new global economy. We heard from representatives at Cisco, Apple, Stanford University and Rethink Books, a digital publishing firm, among others.
There were definite "Wow!" moments as our facilitators walked us through some of the new tools for delivering academic content. Some of the most fascinating involve the penetration of remote, underprivileged, underserved places around the globe with high level, age-appropriate curriculum. In far away African villages, for example, with no connectivity or power supply, Stanford is opening doors and minds to a world of ideas. Cisco works alongside some of the most prestigious (and expensive) universities to bring the classroom experience with some of the nation's most distinguished and innovative professors to sites all over the world. Online classes have become virtual classrooms, with live interaction and group video. Libraries are becoming digitized and accessible. In real time, lectures can now be transcribed and translated into several languages. Video recordings of speeches, simultaneously transcribed, can be searched according to outline and actual text. As information proliferates, it is becoming democratized, available for the asking, no longer the domain of exclusive, elitist associations. Those who resist technological advance are declining in influence. Those who integrate technology with their disciplines are expanding their reach in unimaginable ways.
Dan Cathy fit in, mainly because he runs his business from a smart-phone. He opened by giving us all his mobile number, which for a crowd of close to a thousand seemed a risky move. But it was all part of a tech-type contest in which he challenged us to send him a text message. The start would be signaled by the announcement of his phone number… first text in would win an iPad. You could feel the adrenaline rush as this collection of techies poised themselves, well, ourselves, to show our stuff. (I missed it – by a hair.)
But Cathy's agenda differed from the rest of the presenters that day. The others were there to trigger the technological whiz-bang moments that would prompt collective Imagineering. Cathy brought in the human element. He challenged us to see technology, not as a master but a servant. Success in any enterprise, he said, means meeting the real needs of real people. Technology should enhance relationships. Our affection for our tools can be counterproductive, placing barriers between us and those we serve. Technology is no substitute for high touch. Connectivity must go beyond a digital login.
He speaks from experience. Mr. Cathy is President and CEO of one of the most successful business enterprises of the new millennium: the 3.5 billion dollar line of new restaurants – Chick Fil A. He is passionate about his business plan.
It must be a great sandwich, he will concede. But people will come back not simply because of a great product. He believes every visit to every store should be a great experience. So, they began with a highly intentional training program so that every manager, every server, every employee understands how to make every visit just that – a great and satisfying event. The sort you will speak of with enthusiasm to your friends.
One of the many training tools in Cathy's box is a video that reminds his employees that every guest has a story. Even the unpleasant arrival carries unwanted baggage into the store. That burden may manifest in quirky ways. But the right question, a proper greeting, intentional assistance, an atmosphere of welcome and superior service will disarm most everyone. The video introduces us to a store filled with customers (a word Cathy avoids) and using animated text tells us something of each person's back story – the man who just arrived from his chemo treatment, the tattooed teenager whose father walked out, the young couple struggling with infertility, the elderly woman eating alone whose husband recently passed away, the young mom with multiple kids trying to keep it together after the father of her children disappeared, the bright young high school woman who just got accepted at the university of her dreams, the grandmother herding her young grandchildren after a morning at the park and so on. At first, you see each simply as a patron in the store. When you read even a brief phrase summarizing the story, the patron becomes a person. And knowing the story, well, it triggers compassion and care. Boom. Cathy's point.
So we live in a world of burgeoning technology. The possibilities energize us.
But let's not forget the human dimension. Let's look for those stories. Listen. Care. Smile. Hand 'em a chicken sandwich. Waffle fries and ketchup.
