This is my third Marelda Neckwarmer. Knitting these is almost comfort knitting anymore. After the first repeat, I memorize the pattern and can just cruise along until it is finished. This knit languished on the shelf, needing only a button, for several months until it was pulled into service as a State Fair project.
I don't usually like pink, but in this context, I think it works.
Yarn: Reynolds Odyssey

Penny Fletcher: Looking back
February 10, 2014
Today is a long travel day, and thanks to Delta airlines for the great flight. I am enjoying the WiFi and the ability to chat with fellow coaches and parents who are also on this journey to the motherland that Putin is so proud of. It always amazes me how there is only 6 degrees of separation in our world. I will share that later in the week.
I have a feeling that this is going to be the most amazing experience. I have heard from the boys' father Tim Fletcher, all seems to be great at the Hotel Vili. Small, efficient, greeted by Olga and there is running water. Today I have been looking in on all the athletes tweets. There have been some amazing success out there. I am so jealous of the mom that was successful enough to have both of her girls on the podium (gold and silver). What a dream. I know the Golds must be getting psyched to celebrate their kids success, as well.
All has been great except for the confiscation of all my makeup and antibacterial wipes. There was a significant delay out of New York due to the increased security and snow. So we missed our connection flight to Sochi, but the Russians had a representative there to escort us to another flight later that day. Then, when we arrived at the Sochi airport, there was this really nice gentleman that took us straight to our hotel.
I will say that the security at JFK airport was intimating with dogs, NSA, bomb squads and many under cover officials. I imagine the flight had many air marshals on it. I was thankful that it was as smooth as it was.
The tough part is that when you travel to other countries it is tough to keep up on the days events for the Olympics. They always only show their countries athletes and not the other countries on TV, so we are in an information blackout. I do know that the Russians won something in skating because at about 11 last night I about jumped out of my skin with the sounds of all the fireworks going off. I hope there are a few for Team USA.
So off to watch the boys in official training, then to the historic women's ski jumping event. Go girls. Go USA.

5 Facts About Mike And Molly Star (and Emmy Winner!) Melissa McCarthy
Of course you know who Melissa McCarthy is! The smart, sweet actress just won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. It's especially touching since she and Joshua Jackson were the ones to announce the nominations, and we got to see her genuine excitement and terror at being nominated. But we don't actually know a ton about Melissa despite her nearly 15 years in the biz. Here's a quick catch-up!
1. Her background is in improv.
Like the Bridesmaids co-writers Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, Melissa got her start with The Groundlings, an improv comedy troupe based in Los Angeles. She has some of the best outtakes of the bunch, rattling off bachelorette party suggestions and propositioning anything with a penis.
2. She was Sookie before it was cool.
Say it with me now: SOO-KEY. Not SUH-KEY! (exclamation point required). Long before True Blood's annoying heroine, Melissa played excitable chef Sookie St. James on Gilmore Girls. Though Sookie's obsessions with food and many pregnancies sometimes threatened to make her character more of a caricature, she was a loyal best friend to Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and a successful businesswoman.
3. That's her husband in the airplane scene in Bridesmaids.
Melissa met her husband Ben Falcone through the Groundlings; their exchange on the plane to Las Vegas is one of Bridesmaisds' best moments. Melissa's brusque character Megan is convinced that the man sitting next to her is actually an Air Marshall, and tries to get him to give up his secret.
Ben also had a small part in the Gilmore Girls episode "Say Goodnight Gracie": Ben plays Mr. Brink, the executor of Fran Weston's will. And considering that Lorelai and Sookie wanted to buy the Dragonfly Inn before Fran died, we know that husband and wife got at least one funny scene together.
4. She designed her Emmys dress.
Melissa studied fashion at Southern Illinois University, so she took it upon herself to make an Emmys dress that she'd look good and feel comfortable in. We'd say she nailed it.
And here's that video from the Emmys nominations, because it's just so sweet. (Melissa's reaction is around 4:10.)
5. Her win was a big fuck-you to Maura Kelly and Marie Claire.
Remember when Marie Claire blogger Maura Kelly wrote that she was disgusted by overweight TV characters, specifically citing Melissa and Billy Gardell's characters in Mike and Molly? Melissa's win for the show makes it clear that the Academy has no problems with her appearance or her performance.
We wouldn't blame Melissa if she called out Maura, but it turns out she's already addressed the issue in a People interview, and in a very classy way:
"It was so unkind. I thought, 'Shame on you.' At a different point in my life, it would've crushed me. But it didn't."

"I like to go for cinches. I like to shoot fish in a barrel. But I like to do it after the water has run out."
-- Warren Buffett
History seems to show that good investing doesn't necessarily mean picking out complex situations and basing your investment thesis on Nobel-level math. In fact, as the recent financial crisis has shown us -- not to mention Long Term Capital Management and many other examples -- too much complexity can often end in calamity.
In an effort to track down some of the companies that may fall into that "fish in a barrel" category, I looked for companies that have shown signs of brilliance. Specifically, I focused on companies with a conservative balance sheet, a forward price-to-earnings ratio below 15, a return on capital above 10%, and a dividend. I've also included the ratings that the Motley Fool CAPS community has given each of these stocks.
CAPS Rating
Debt-to-Equity Ratio
Forward P/E
Return on Capital
Dividend Yield
Baxter International
Source: CAPS and Capital IQ, a Standard & Poor's company.
While the three companies above aren't meant to be formal recommendations, they are a good starting point to start some further research. And on that note, let's take a closer look why these potential investments might make a whole lot of sense.
True story: I picked Freeport for my CAPS portfolio when the stock was trading at $37 and it seemed like Mr. Market thought the world no longer needed copper. Other savvy CAPS members got in at even more opportune times, but that pick scored me a pretty sweet 114 points as the stock's 172% gain trounced the market's 57% advance since my pick.
But that was then and this is now. Today, there are still reasons to be drawn to Freeport. As we see in the chart above, the stock's valuation multiples look pretty attractive. Maybe more important are the economic conditions -- specifically the growth in China and other emerging markets. Global demand for raw materials has not only been a tailwind for Freeport but also other mining companies such as Cliffs Natural Resources
However, China has been making noises like it's ready to put the brakes on its economy's blazing-fast growth to try and head off inflation. Europe, with its growing list of bailout recipients, is hardly in tip-top shape. And the purgatory the U.S. currently occupies hardly makes us a potential source of huge demand.
At the same time, the ideal time to buy cyclical stocks like materials producers is when things aren't looking so hot and reduced profits make valuation multiples look pricey. Today, we've already got a lot of eyes on the materials sector and profits have bounced back with a vengeance since the recessionary dip.
So does Freeport still make sense? Over the long term it probably does, as it's a quality company. But for interested investors, now may be the time to dip your toes in Freeport's stock rather than jump in head first.
Baxter International
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a bit of a love/hate relationship with health-care companies. While I'm no big fan of spiraling health-care costs, I can't help but be impressed with the profits many of the largest health-care players manage to rake in.
Of course, it's tough to talk large-cap health care without recognizing that many of the big players on the pharmaceutical side of the universe, such as Pfizer
What's an investor to do? One way to go about it is to look to companies with more diversified business models that aren't driven by huge, blockbuster drugs that have the potential to hobble the company when generic manufacturers are allowed to swoop in. Baxter is part of that camp. The company operates in three divisions: bioscience, which has seen success with its treatments for hemophilia and other bleeding disorders; medication delivery, which focuses on products that deliver drugs to patients; and renal, which manufactures dialysis devices.
Baxter has delivered consistently solid numbers for its shareholders and I think the stock's low multiples give investors an attractive price without as much uncertainty as there is elsewhere in the health-care sector. I also like to see that Baxter has gotten back to raising its dividend in recent years.
All in all, it looks like Mr. Market is offering a deal on Baxter that makes a lot of sense.
At a hefty $350 billion, it's going to be hard for us to expect Exxon to deliver huge returns for us. However, at a time when a lot of energy companies are looking attractive to me, it's impossible to ignore the king of the sector. While Exxon's stock may not be as cheap as some of the other major players in big oil, I'd argue that it's worth the premium because of the quality of the company and its free cash flow generation.
Let's take a look at what CAPS member Oraclepkwy had to say about the stock when giving it a thumbs-up late last month:
Exxon is trading at roughly the same price it did in early 2006, its trailing P/E is 12.7 and it carries a current dividend yield of 2.7%. I am of the opinion that the Board will soon increase the dividend with crude prices stabilizing, the Gulf oil spill negative cloud over the oil industry is clearing. The dividend is certainly safe and this is a company not about to disappear anytime soon. It is a good long term safe investment which I see providing an excellent return between the dividend and capital value growth in the coming years.

12 empty houses to be renovated in Offaly
Local Fine Gael TD, Marcella Corcoran Kennedy has welcomed the Government's announcement of a €15 million national investment in social housing.
This measure will make 12 vacant houses available for use in County Offaly.
"There is a housing shortage across the country. Families in County Offaly are in need of homes. This significant investment will make a huge difference to people in the area.
"Empty houses regularly attract anti-social behaviour; they are unsightly and negatively impact local areas. We want to bring new life into these properties and to turn them into homes once again.
"This investment will not only benefit the individual families who are allocated a new property but it will enhance the community. It is good news for builders and good news for small businesses.
"This €15 million national investment is just one of a number of measures being introduced by the Government to deal with public housing issues. €68 million will be invested nationally to build 449 new homes for families and €30 million will be spent in 2014 to upgrade the energy efficiency of the least well insulated local authority homes."

When we talk about holding a guitar, we're referring to guitar posture.
We're going to show you 8 essential tips which will help you nail your guitar posture and become the guitarist that you want to be.
Tip #1 Choose What You Sit On Carefully
It's important that you choose the right thing to sit on when learning how to hold a guitar.
This can be the difference to whether you're a successful guitar player or not.
Here are a few pieces of furniture which you should avoid at ALL costs.
1) A Sofa
There's nothing worse for your guitar posture than a sofa.
Sofa's cause you to slump into a low position.
Sofa's are perfect for watching TV, not for learning how to hold a guitar.
2) A High Stool
High stool's are awful for guitar players.
They make learning how to hold a guitar incredibly difficult.
There's no stability in a high stool. You will feel unbalanced when you play on guitar on a high stool.
3) An Arm Chair
Arm chairs are a big no for guitarists. They restrict your movement.
No great guitarist learned how to rock out in an arm chair.
What should I sit on?
As a general rule, chairs without arms are perfect for guitar players.
Make sure that your back is straight, your legs are at 90 degree angle and you'll be good to go!
It doesn't matter what you sit on.
Just make sure that you sit up straight and can move freely.
Don't let a piece of furniture restrict your guitar progress.
Tip #2 Make Sure Your Arms Are Unrestricted
The last thing you should do when learning how to hold a guitar is restrict your arms.
Your arms and hands help you to play guitar.
Don't make the mistake of sitting on something which is going to make guitar playing difficult.
Tip #3 Sit Up Straight
It's vital that you sit up straight.
Here are two tips which will help you master your guitar posture:
- Make sure your back is straight.
- Keep your legs at a right angle.
If you follow these two tips you'll learn how to hold a guitar in no time.
Why is this important?
You must be in control of the guitar, don't let the guitar control you.
It's important that you have as MUCH control as possible over the guitar.
You need to be as big as possible, so you can get over the instrument.
Why should I learn to how to hold a guitar correctly?
Learning how to hold a guitar correctly increases your chances of being able to:
If you don't know how to hold a guitar correctly, you will find each of these essential guitar lessons incredibly difficult.
Everything is SO much easier when you know how to hold a guitar correctly.

Tip #4 Choose The Size Of Your Guitar Wisely
Guitars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes.
From big to small, pointy to smooth.
It's important that you pick the right guitar size.
- If you're smaller than the average person, try and avoid larger guitars as they are harder to play.
- If you're tall, it wouldn't make sense that you have a small guitar, as it may cause tension on your back.
Make sure that you pick a guitar which is suitable for your body size.
If you're not sure what the best guitar for your body size is, go out and try some guitars. Experiment with what feels comfortable.
There's no rules here, trust your judgement and pick a guitar which feels best.

Tip #5 Make sure your elbow comes over the ridge of the guitar
When playing the guitar, it's essential that your elbow sits on top of the body.
Place your elbow in front of the ridge of the guitar.
Your elbow should line up somewhere in between the guitars bridge and the strap button.
This is a perfect example of where your elbow should be:
- Place your elbow where the strap button is. This is terrible for strumming the guitar and causes tension in your back.
- Place your elbow behind the guitar. If you do this, your strumming will be flimsy and uninspiring.
It's important that your elbow is in the correct place, as this helps you strum correctly.
Your elbow should act as a pivot when it's placed on the ridge of the guitar.
You should be able to move it freely back and forth over the strings.
Tip #6 Choose The Right Thigh
It's important that you choose to play your guitar on the correct thigh.
Most guitarists place their guitar on their right thigh.
However some guitarists place their guitar on their left thigh.
This position is popular among classical guitarists.
It doesn't matter what thigh you place the guitar, however it is important that:
- Your guitar goes DIRECTLY across your body.
Your guitar must be in a straight line across your body.
If your guitar's neck is being pulled back, your elbow becomes restricted and makes strumming difficult.
If the guitar is too far forward, you end up chasing your guitar chords.
Keep the guitar's body in a straight line and you'll be rocking in no time!

Tip #7 Use Your Arm When Playing Chords
So many beginner guitarists make the mistake of just using their fingers when playing guitar chords.
When we play guitar chords, we don't just use our fingers, we use our whole arm.
This is why it's SO important that your movement isn't restricted when you play guitar chords.
Your arm needs plenty of movement to fret guitar chords.
Without free movement between both your arms, you'll never be able to play the guitar properly.
Here are 3 of the most common mistakes that beginners make with their arms:
- They sit in an arm chair.
Sitting in an arm chair, restricts BOTH of your arms. A big no when it comes to guitar playing.
- Their fretting arm is tucked into their torso.
By tucking your fretting arm into your torso, you're making your fretting hand do ALL the work.
Help yourself out and use your whole arm. This will strengthen your guitar chords.
- Their fretting arm rests on their thigh.
This is just plain lazy! Resting your fretting arm will never help your guitar chords. In actually makes them worse.
How should I position my fretting arm?
Make sure that your arm is as FREE as possible.
It shouldn't be:
- Tucked into your torso.
- Resting on your lap.
Both of these are terrible for playing guitar chords.
There should be lots of free air.
A great way to ensure that there is lots of space for your fretting arm, is to purposely extend it out.
Even though this might feel strange to start with, it's a great way of ensuring that you have as much power as possible coming from your fretting hand.
I'm struggling to reach to guitar chords, what should I do?
There's only ever two things that you need to do if you're struggling to play guitar chords.
Those are:
- To lower your thumb.
- Move your wrist your forward.
As a general rule, your thumb should sit like this behind the neck:
However, don't be afraid to move your thumb. Your thumb should be able to move as freely as possible around the neck.
It is important that your thumb always point upwards. Never point your towards the head stock.
Moving your wrist forward
Never feel like your wrist HAS to stay in one place.
When you change guitar chords, your wrist will naturally move around.
Never restrict the movement of your wrist, allow it to move freely with the chords you are playing.
Tip #8 Use Your Finger Tips For Ultimate Chord Clarity
The best way to fret a guitar chord is to use your finger tips. Try and fret your chord as close to your finger nail as possible (Make sure it doesn't hurt!)
One of the most common problems for beginner guitarists is that they find fretting guitar chords guitar difficult.
The best way to fret guitar chords correctly is to use your finger tips.
Ideally there should be LOTS of fresh air between your fingers and the fret board.
Let's take a look at how a guitar chord should look like. We're going to use an Em chord for this example.
Em Guitar Chord
Here's the chord box:
(If you don't understand the above image please read our article "How To Read Guitar Chordboxes In 60 Seconds". It will make everything clear!)
To play this chord:
- Place your 1st finger on the 2nd fret of the A string.
- Place your 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the D string.
- Strum ALL the strings.
This is what the Em chord should look like from your perspective.
Can you see how the tips of the fingers are being used and there's a gap between your fingers and the fret board. That's what your fingers should look like!
Fret board Reach
One of the most important lessons you can learn when learning how to hold a guitar is:
There is a HUGE amount of distance between the tip of your thumb and your first finger.
It's vital that you use this to your advantage as a beginner guitarist.
Don't just use your fingers when you fret guitar chords, use your WHOLE hand.
By exploring the range of your hand from the tip of your thumb to the tip of your first finger, you will be able to fret chords clearly and correctly.
Bonus Tips
Here are a few bonus tips which help with learning how to hold a guitar.
1) Practice Standing Up
Although this doesn't work for everyone, practicing standing up is great for your guitar posture.
Try and stand up for at least 5 minutes of your guitar practice, this will help your posture and make you a better guitarist.
2) Use A Guitar Strap
Using a guitar strap secures your guitar in place.
This is useful stops your guitar from slipping away.
However, before you rush and attach a guitar strap to your guitar, make sure that you know how to hold a guitar correctly.
Only use a strap if it's going to help your guitar posture, don't rely on a guitar strap.
3) Use Decent Strap Locks
Strap locks are the best way to secure your guitar in place.
They're also super affordable.
There's nothing worse than playing guitar, and suddenly your guitar falls off it's strap.
It's embarassing, un-professional and can damage your favourite axe. Do the right thing and get some strap locks 🙂
We recommend Schaller Strap Locks, you can find them here: Schaller Security Strap Locks

Editor's note: Here's a T&TH classic from noted writer Mark Strand.
For calling assistance and visual assurance, some early turkey hunters took tethered live hens into the woods and used them for the greatest decoys ever invented. It's pretty hard to beat the real thing.
Since then, so-called modern turkey hunters have been scheming to come up with dekes that require less care and feeding yet are convincing enough to bring gobblers in on a string.
These days, there's no shortage of options. Catalogs and sporting stores are filled with flocks of fakes, replications of hens and jakes, and even strutting toms. They run the gamut from basic outlines to ultra-realistic, and from compact and lightweight to full-bodied models that make you glad you had children so they can carry the dang things from spot to spot.
Let's look at a snapshot of where we are in the evolution of turkey decoys, and where the sweet spot is when it comes to realism, portability, durability and effectiveness.
Realism Factor
Walk up and down the decoy aisle at a retailer, and, at least to the human eye, there's an obvious degree of difference in realism. Decoys range from basic foam cheapies to amazing reproductions that make great living room decorations. And then there's the ultimate in realism: an actual turkey mounted by a taxidermist and prepared as a decoy, with feathers that play in the breeze.
The question we ask nowadays is: How much realism do you need?
Like so many things in turkey hunting, it depends.
Even mature gobblers, for all their celebrated ability to avoid suspicious situations, sometimes seem unable to distinguish the crudest decoy from the real thing, rarely coming out of strut as they parade in to the promise of hooking up with a motionless bundle of plastic or foam. Hit the right bird in the right mood, and you'll witness an impressive degree of lousy eyesight and poor judgment.
In other situations that are difficult to distinguish, the same gobbler will think more with its pea-sized brain than its breeding tools and leave you wondering if you should have lugged the stuffed decoy along.
How do you know ahead of time? You don't.
Some hunters swear by decoys to the point they would risk being killed by a snake or seen by turkeys to put one out at every setup. Others swear decoys repel turkeys, or that turkeys know the difference between a decoy and a real turkey and will run the other way if they see a fake.
As usual, folks at either extreme are a bit out of touch. You don't need to put out a decoy at every setup, and turkeys cannot tell for certain that your decoy is a fake. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that some things are important when it comes to decoy selection and use.
The first is body posture. To play the odds, it seems hen decoys should give off a relaxed, "Everything-is-wonderful-over-here" vibe, and jake decoys should give off a defiant, "Do-you-want-a-piece-of-me?" vibe. Strutting gobbler decoys give you no choice of nonverbal communication; they're the ultimate invitation to aggression.
You're always playing the odds. For example, don't assume that every gobbler that sees a defiant jake will automatically come running in, spoiling for a fight. When jakes gang up, they can put the boots to tough-guy toms. And some mature gobblers are just not naturally dominant, which can make them shy away from confrontations.
You should consider one seemingly universal law when choosing decoys: Think about what real turkeys do when they see or hear something that puts them on alert. They typically stand upright and freeze in position, looking without moving their heads as they decide whether to flee. Now, think about what an upright turkey decoy looks like to real turkeys, especially if the decoy never moves. Because you're playing the odds, it's reasonable to think that upright, defiant jake decoys are a good bet to pull aggressive toms in, and relaxed hen decoys help soothe and reassure approaching birds that everything is safe.
Body postures that suggest receptiveness to breeding can be effective, especially on aggressive gobblers. Squatting hens can get toms revved up, which is why manufacturers offer breeding pairs, including a gobbler or jake appearing to mount the hen.
If frozen-in-time body postures reduce effectiveness, motion can improve it, especially with birds that need some visual assurance. Through the years, various motion gadgets have come down the pike, including heads that draw downward as if feeding, heads that bob in the wind and tracks you pull the decoy along on a string.
Portability Factor
The need for portability differs depending on the situation. Let's say you have 40 acres to hunt and plan to set up in the dark and stay put. Decoy portability is no big deal. You can haul in two mounted decoys, set them up and have plenty of time for a nap before flydown.
Two weeks later, let's say you're on your annual trip to Texas, where you can roam 10,000 acres of mesquite flats. Suddenly, a full-bodied decoy is a less desirable option. Instead, you might stash an inflatable hen, silhouette jake or roll-up foam decoy in your vest and head out across the countryside.
If you want portability and economy, consider using just a tail fan. Ray Eye tells stories about a guy from Missouri who invented a fan decoy in the old days and used it with great results.
Although the rest of the turkey is not visible, if an approaching gobbler sees a fan, it can provoke the same aggressive response you might get from a full strutting jake or tom decoy.
Consider your hunting style as you choose and pack decoys. Chances are, you probably have more than one turkey call. It's OK to own more than one kind of turkey decoy.
Best Practices
Don't expect decoys to be magic makers, and don't risk being seen to put out a decoy. But when everything comes together, well-positioned decoys seem to keep turkeys coming closer and keep them hanging around longer, at least at times.
If you can predict the most likely direction from which a gobbler will approach, it seems to help to place a hen decoy so its butt is facing the tom as he gets close enough to see it. It's natural that he assumes he must circle and come closer before she can see how magnificent he looks, which works to your advantage.
Conversely, it seems to work best to have jake and strutting tom decoys facing directly at the likely approach direction. You want that gobbler to be eye to eye with your defiant jake, for example, so he can tell the decoy is not backing down. Game on.
When it comes to decoy selection and use, and what proves effective for each hunter, let's admit that calling ability, woodsmanship skills, setup selection and the fickle nature of turkeys contribute to ultimate success. Having a decoy out for turkeys works well sometimes, but it can appear to repel them other times.
Consider each setup as you decide whether to put out a decoy. If you're sitting where approaching turkeys have to peer over the top of the terrain to see your calling position and will be in range the first time they can reasonably expect to see a hen, you don't need a decoy. Likewise, in heavy foliage, such as late-spring woods that have greened up, you often don't need a decoy, because approaching toms have to search for the hen right to the end of your gun barrel.
But in open habitat, where incoming turkeys will expect to spot the other turkeys calling to them, it can be crazy not to have something for them to see when they get close.
It's been said before, but anything that captures a turkey's attention — such as a decoy — helps you get away with movement. You might have to put down the box call and pick up the gun or bow, reposition for the shot or everything at once.
As always, keep safety in mind. As decoys become more realistic and motion is incorporated, you might fool other hunters into firing at them. Keep yourself out of the line of possible shooting lanes another hunter might approach, and avoid doing things like employing motion-filled, full-strut, ultra-realistic gobbler decoys in heavily hunted areas.
Good safety measures will help you avoid detection by turkeys, too, because you will usually position yourself out of the birds' line of sight.
So, when you choose to set out a decoy, how much realism do you really need? The answer seems to vary greatly from one situation to the next. At times, mature gobblers look like pro wrestlers body-slamming each other to be the first to run in on relatively crude-looking dekes. Other times, it seems to really help that your decoy looks like the real thing or is a mounted version of what was the real thing.
You just never know. Go with the decoy strategy that seems to fit the situation, and see what happens.

The inimitable Britney Spears got in the passenger's seat of The Late Late Show With James Corden to belt out some of her greatest hits, and chat a bit about parenthood and whether or not she'll get married again.
Spears, who recently announced that she'd be donating her VMAs dress to help Louisiana flood victims, joined Corden's ever-expanding list of Carpool Karaoke guests, which includes Sia, Selena Gomez, and shirtless members of The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The duo drove the sunny streets of Los Angeles singing "Oops! ... I Did It Again" before Corden asked Spears about the possibility of having more kids and "the right man to do that with." Spears' responded in part by saying, "I'm not going to marry anyone, no. I don't believe in marriage anymore," which, of course, just happened to be the perfect segue into "Womanizer," followed by Britney's latest single "Make Me ..." featuring G-Eazy. The segment wrapped with "... Baby One More Time" and Corden in pink-ribboned pigtails.
The appearance came on the eve of Britney's new album Glory, which was released at midnight.

The Bosch BNS200-18 brad nailer is part of the company's new "Full Force Technology" line of air tools, all of which have a patented air chamber that allows the nailers to use 100 percent of the air from the compressor to drive the fastener. In traditional nailer designs, some air is kept in reserve to return the tool to the ready position. Among the other tools in the line that many woodworkers use are a 15-gauge angled finish nailer and a 16-gauge straight nailer.
The upshot is that these new nailers are smaller and lighter than comparable tools on the market (Bosch says they're 20 percent smaller and 10 percent lighter), which means that for someone like me (small hands, little upper body strength), this 18-gauge brad nailer is easy and comfortable to use, plus the body is narrow, so there's a better line-of-sight to the workpiece.

Filmmaker Michael Moore is somewhat like the New York Yankees. Either you love him or you hate him. Liberals love him, but conservatives despise Moore for his caustic and biased documentaries.
Like many liberals, Moore is not interested in the truth as much as he is in promoting his own personal agenda. His documentaries such as Bowling for Columbine (on gun control) and Sicko (about the American healthcare industry) were extremely biased and one-sided towards his liberal views. When the Occupy movements became the fad, claiming to be protesting the 1 percenters, Moore publicly championed their cause, even though he is a 1 percenter himself.
At the time of Moore supporting the Occupy movement, I recall someone asking Moore if he was willing to share his wealth with all of the occupiers and he said no, that they had to work for it like he did. In other words, he supported other rich people being forced to share their wealth with the poor, but not him. It's like Obama who preaches sharing the wealth, but the only sharing I see from him is us taxpayers sharing what little wealth we have with him so he can take 4-6 vacations a year that cost millions of dollars for each trip.
Trending: U.S. Finally Regains Top Spot as Most Competitive Economy For First Time Since 2008
Knowing some of Moore's background, I was surprised to see his comments this week about Obamacare when he said:
"That is the dirty little secret many liberals have avoided saying out loud for fear of aiding the president's enemies, at a time when the ideal of universal health care needed all the support it could get,"
"… Obamacare's rocky start — clueless planning, a lousy website, insurance companies raising rates, and the president's telling people they could keep their coverage when, in fact, not all could [was all the result of that] one fatal flaw."
The fatal flaw Moore was referring to was the idea that Obamacare was designed using Romneycare as its foundation. Then he explained what's wrong with Obamacare using the example of a 60 year old couple who have a combined income of $65,000 a year. Moore points out that their premiums under Obamacare would cost them $12,000 a year along with a $12,000 deductible. Moore then stated:
"If both become seriously ill, they might have to pay almost $25,000 in a single year,"
He concluded with:
"Obamacare can't be fixed by its namesake. It's up to us to make it happen."
He's right when he says that Obamacare can't be fixed. That's why it is so imperative that Republicans come up with a workable plan as soon as possible. They just can't scrap Obamacare without offering something to replace it. Insurance companies have already spent fortunes making the changes required by Obamacare. To go back to the old way of doing things will be costly and time consuming. Millions more Americans will be left hanging in the balance with no coverage at all and the entire healthcare insurance industry would be a confused and complicated quagmire of no answers and few solutions.

is for Gardening.
I like having a garden.
I like thinking about gardening. I picture myself in cute cut-off shorts and a wide-brimmed hat, lovingly trimming plants and plucking off yellow leaves. I look very cute in my head when I'm gardening.
I love the idea of cutting flowers from the garden to decorate the house.
Confession: I didn't actually grow these. But I did snip off the ends and put them in a vase.
I especially like to imagine myself cooking an entire meal from plants that I grew myself.
When I'm done imaginary gardening, I sip a glass of (freshly squeezed) imaginary lemonade and survey my green, lush kingdom.
Imaginary gardening is all so effortless. I love being an imaginary gardener.
In reality, though, I'm not so good at the whole "work on it every day and keep it free of weeds" thing. In my last house, the thistles towered over me like enchanted things. I honestly think that little kids hid behind the trees to watch my house and dare each other to knock on the door.
I've asked JP to build me a raised garden this summer. I picture a perimetre of raised beds around stone slats, with a bistro set in the middle. Mostly, I picture myself sitting at the bistro table, sipping a glass of fresh iced tea with frozen berries bobbing in it.
Do thistles grow in flower boxes?

I could be wrong, but to me it sends a hopeful signal about the health care decision expected on Thursday. If the Supreme Court were about to declare the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, then Scalia and Alito, even while dissenting in yesterday's cases, would have been smirking to themselves in pleasure at the ruling they are about to hand down on health insurance. They know that the health care case is the big deal, and if they were going to win on that one, they should have been able to take the Arizona immigration case and the juvenile punishment cases in stride. But Alito and Scalia seemed far from sanguine about these cases.
Why were they so angry? It would seem they only have a right to be as angry as they acted yesterday if they are also going to find themselves in the minority on health care. Only if this very conservative court--as conservative a Supreme Court as has ever existed in my lifetime, and probably, if Obama is re-elected, as conservative a Supreme Court as we will see for the remainder of my lifetime--only if that conservative court is about to hand a 6-3 victory to the liberals would their frustration be understandable. Because that would mean these three most radical justices (Scalia, Alito, and the silent Thomas) have reached the limits of their conservative power, and it did not gain them all they wanted, and it is all downhill for them after this. One can only hope.

From favourite childhood pet to fried delicacy, it appears the fortunes of the Axolotl (the neotenous larval form of the Mexican Salamander) have fallen on hard times…
A blind tasting of one of the creatures reveals how delicious it is (they are not uncommonly eaten in their native country of Mexico), and an interview with a commercial Axolotl fishery in Japan reveals that (culinary) supply and demand are brisk:
The boom is particularly painful for some, as the creatures became popular childhood pets in one of Japan's short-lived marketing booms in the 1980s, after a TV commercial for the still extant "UFO" brand of yakisoba ramen featured one of the animals; the name was soon popularly altered from "Axolotl" to ウーパールーパー / Uupaaruupaa after the advert:
It seems they were a victim of their own popularity, as once the boom subsided one of the very companies supplying them had a surplus and opted to switch its marketing efforts to culinary usage; now they are considering exports to China and Korea.
However, everyone agrees that they are delicious, so such objections seem not to have much traction, at least amongst those tasting them.
2ch for its part is almost universally horrified by the practice, a stark contrast to its usual defence of eating whales and dolphins as "they are no different from cows or fish, you eat those don't you?"…

Repalcing heating element in base

scentiments.com usually has himalaya for much cheaper.
and if they do not have it try scentmonkey.com
both of these online stores are reputable.
I stopped in Bergdorf Goodman on the way home Friday, and got a chance to actually smell what Creed is all about that everyone keeps talking about here at basenotes.
Out of all the ones I got to smell the one that stuck out the most that I was really impressed was Himalaya.
Green Irish Tweed was very nice, but smelled close to Cool water, and MI reminded me exactly like Unforgiveable which I just picked up. Drydowns I am guessing are different I did not spray them on my hand just smelled them off the card.
I liked Silver mountain Water, and Virgin Island but they just seemed to light, I did not like Santal or Vetiver, but Himalaya just really stood out to me, and I was this close to buying it.
the SA only had one sample he can give me BdP, so I am going to test that tomorrow, I wish he had Himalaya, I would like to test that more. So maybe I will be ordering some more samples online.
I did not realize how expensive Creed is $122 for 1 Ounce, I was like ouch...
scentiments.com usually has himalaya for much cheaper.
and if they do not have it try scentmonkey.com
both of these online stores are reputable.
supracuhz's signature says he has a Himalaya tester for sale.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, ...... I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost
1. I had a similar experience last month when I spent two weeks in a hotel next to a Saks 5th Ave. Except for a few random tries, I'd never had the opportunity to meaningfully test a bunch of Creeds. The rep was great, and she both gave and made me about 20 samples during my stay.
2. My general feeling was that many Creeds were pretty good, but few of them good enough, or unique enough, to command such a high price. For example, Bois de Cedrat, Royal Scottish Lavender, Erolfa, and Chevrefuille were a few of the ones I really liked, but none were so unique as to command $170+. I did end up purchasing Royal English Leather because it was 'only' $140, because it was the most unique of the bunch, and because I wanted to thank the rep who was so nice by giving her a sale (which is pretty rare she told me, most people balk at the price).
3. There are tons of reputable online retailers, including perfumeemporium, beautyencounter, and fragrancenet that sell Creeds far below retail. The only drawback - and this is only from stories here - is that the bottles may be old stock and thus may not stay good as long.
4. We all know that eBay is a hornet's nest of Creed fakes, and I'm not going to try to sort through what may and not be fake (and I don't suggest anyone else try without knowing what they're doing). What I have found is that some eBay sellers sell lots of samples at reasonable cost. I liked Creed Vanisia, and I recently purchased a lot of 10 samples for $11+shipping. At 2ml/each this is 20ml, so for $16 I got 2/3 oz of a fragrance that goes for much more. And yes, it smells identical to the samples I got from the Creed rep.
When it comes to Creed I really like Erolfa and Himalaya the most, all others really did nothing for me. GIT was ok but I preferred Freshman from Truefitt & Hill more at 1/3rd the price. SMW really did nothing for me at all, Vetiver was too soapy, Santal was Joop extra strength, Neroli Sauvage had a great Houdini act with it's "poof" vanishing act in the blink of an eye, VIW was nice but did not beat a comparable Tommy Bahama fragrance at a fraction of the price, and most of the others were too unremarkable to even mention.
Creed is nice but for the price I prefer other brands.
Well I tried the sample of BdP today, and I did not like it all, in fact I would say as much I hated it...LOL
Himalaya is still my favorite so far of the ones I tried.
So she can actaully make you samples? I did not know that? The rep at Bergdorf Goodman, had what was like a pre made one from Creed itself. Maybe I will stop at SAK today, I am working in the city this morning if they are open on Sundays. I would like to get samples and see how they are on my skin itself.
I was trying to figure out how they were able to sell so cheap?3. There are tons of reputable online retailers, including perfumeemporium, beautyencounter, and fragrancenet that sell Creeds far below retail. The only drawback - and this is only from stories here - is that the bottles may be old stock and thus may not stay good as long.
I rather not buy something that can possibly be old even if i do save some money
from all the horror stories i been reading about ebay and creed i am staying far away from ebay just not worth it4. We all know that eBay is a hornet's nest of Creed fakes, and I'm not going to try to sort through what may and not be fake (and I don't suggest anyone else try without knowing what they're doing). What I have found is that some eBay sellers sell lots of samples at reasonable cost. I liked Creed Vanisia, and I recently purchased a lot of 10 samples for $11+shipping. At 2ml/each this is 20ml, so for $16 I got 2/3 oz of a fragrance that goes for much more. And yes, it smells identical to the samples I got from the Creed rep.
thanks for all the good tips
The one eBayer I trusted for Creed (Creedirect) and gave great buys on it sold out her remaining stock to a single buyer last year and is no longer in business.
That said, the only fake Creed seller I bought from did return my money but I still went after him. He is no longer in business under the old name but I am sure is still around, selling fake frags and making money doing it. NYC based, nasty in correspondence, did NOT take PayPal or Google payments (a red flag) and should be face-sprayed with Kouros Extrait IMO
Official sample vials or Department Store testers are the best way to see what the real thing is all about with Creed. Then, find a generally lauded reputable Basenoter or dealer online or local merchant to purchase.

Well I am sort of dissapointed
They had no samples to give me but they let me spray directly on each hand
So I tested MI on one hand and Himalaya on other
HImalaya was definitely nice and The drydown was sweet but only lasted about 3 hours on my skin
MI lasted about an hour or so, also I sprayed Unforgiveable afterward further up my arm just to see a comparison and I swear I cannot smell any difference then again I am not an expert.
I really liked Himalya but is it worth it to only last 3 hours?
I might go back tomorrow and try some more sample tests with maybe SMW and something else
funny you say that MI lasted only an a hour on you??, this one lasts like 8+ hours on me. Compare that to Musc Raveguer which gives me only 40 mins on good days...;-( But Himalaya does smell awesome, I'm been meaning to getting this, but can't make up my mind.
its either Himalaya or Straight to Heaven.
Any Knowledge Is Good Knowledge For Me.......
Now that I have more experience with other scents, I think the only bottle worthy creed is Acier Aluminum.
I bought Erolfa and SMW, but they do not get much use any more.
I'm not surprised they didn't give or make you samples at Saks... don't let them fool you, they both have samples and they will make them for you. The problem is the SAs need to feel like you're going to come back and buy something instead of just using the samples instead. I usually try to develop a rapport with the SAs, I'll fib a little and tell them I own a few of whatever line they're selling, and I let them know I have a large collection and will buy what I like if I can skin test it first. This will usually prompt the samples to come out. Even this doesn't work sometimes, at which point you can directly ask and tell them you'll buy if you can give them a full wear - but sometimes you're just SOL.
The best places to get samples to take home is Nordstoms (they don't sell Creed, tho), where they will give you samples of anything you ask for.
Of course it helps when you're already buying a bottle.... make sure to mention you'd like to buy 'X' and can you also have samples of A, B & C so you know whether you want to buy those also.
ps. Even after 10+ visits to Saks over 2 weeks and 3 bottle purchases, some SAs still weren't giving me samples, but luckily the couple of SAs that realized I was actually buying what I sampled kept them flowing for me. I came home from my visit with about 60 samples total.
Good luck.

I actually told them I was serious about purchasing a bottle of Creed I just was not sure which one, and wanted to see what would fit with my skin chemistry and which one I would like best.
The guy was not very friendly or helpful I can understand if he was busy, but I was the only customer.
I have an extra sample of himalaya. PM me your address and I'll send it to you. no cost.
Btw it's strange that himalaya didn't last on you. I get about 10 hours +.
Thanks to Futami, I got 3 samples of GIT, SMW, and Himalaya over the weekend
I sampled Green Irish Tweed first. These are the first times I was able to really skin test and use.
Green Irish Tweed: Lasted the longest on me so far out of the 3 samples about 12 hours +, even the next morning before I took a shower I was getting whiffs of it, I really enjoyed it a lot, but I have to be honest while I can smell a subtle difference between this and cool water, I am not sure it would be worth buying when I can get a 4.2 oz bottle of cool water for $24.
I really wanted to like it and see a difference between GIT and Cool water, i asked a friend of mine about 3 hours after I sprayed GIT and Cool Water, one on each hand which one he liked better and he looked at me like they were the same thing, when I told him one cost $122 and the other $24, he thought I was nuts and said spend $24 and give him the $80 LOL
So GIT is out...
So next day I tested Silver Mountain Water and here is my thoughts: I only used a little in the beginning and noticed it only stayed about 3 hours and after that I can barely notice it, while it was there you had to be really up close to me to smell it, it was there after that for maybe about 4 hours longer, later that day I used the rest of the vial and by doing that I increased the longevity of the middle notes I guess to about 6 hours and had better sillage.
But here is the thing it smelled way too feminine too me, after the drydown it got a little better, but it still was too feminine, I do not know if I can live with that smell too much. I am not sure if SMW is for me. I do not see myself wearing this one on a regular basis at all.
Last but not least the one I really wanted to try
Himalaya: Ok I basically poured half of the creed sample vial between my hands, wrist, neck, and chest. I did it at 6:45 am, and was able to smell it pretty strong until around 10 am or so. which is I guess 3 hours or so
I still smell it but I guess this is the base notes now, it is not as strong though. I am not sure how much is there now.
The one thing I noticed is the drydown is starting to remind me of SMW a little bit? They seem to be very closely related?
So far out of the 3 Creeds if any I were to purchase I still like Himalaya even if it has shorter longevity. The smell of Himalaya in the first couple hours is just awesome.
