Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been a writer and reader my whole life – my first work was a play I wrote for my sisters and I to perform for our parents! So reading, and books, are as natural to me as breathing. I live in a small, beautiful town in Ontario, Canada, with two adorable ginger cats. I also love movies, travel, photography, digital art, and fabric design. My first book is "Perfect Need – Seven Tales of Love and Passion": a short anthology of erotic romance stories that came out in 2013. My second book came out in October 2016 – "Stranded With You" – Book One of the Fate Chose Us Series. Book Two – "Introducing Us" will debut on November 15.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My new book comes out on November 15, 2016 – "Introducing Us," the second book of three in my Fate Chose Us series. I started it in response to a writing challenge in an online community I belonged to a while ago. There were a couple of situations that had to be included in each submission, and it was SUPPOSED to be a short story.
Three books and 120,000 some words later, I had the Fate Chose Us series, the story of Jon and Becca and their unlikely meeting and falling in love.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don't know if it's unusual, but I like to create a playlist of music when I write a story, that reflects the characters' story and personality. Other than that, I struggle with daily word counts and discipline, like most writers. I love doing research for my characters, and writing background and possible scenarios for the characters – some get used, some remain backstory, which gives my characters depth.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
There are so many influences and inspirations, from so many authors. I love JK Rowling's storytelling style; Diana Gabaldon is a master of historical fiction, something I want to write, too. Classics, like Jane Austen's books, are always a good model for me, and poetry always inspires me – May Sarton, Emily Dickinson, Rumi, and Rainer Maria Rilke are my all-time favourites. Elizabeth Gilbert, Tana French, Val McDermid, and Stephen King are others who influence me because of their amazing talent.
What are you working on now?
I have a paranormal romance (ghosts) in progress – about halfway through a first draft. I am also in the planning stages of a mystery, something I've always wanted to write.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
For me, Twitter and Facebook are always the best places to promote my books. They're both great places to meet authors and readers – great communities.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Read a lot, in as many genres as you can – even ones you think you won't like. Everything is grist for the mill of your imagination.
Don't give up, even when you think your first draft is dreadful and junk and something no one will ever want to read. You'll only get better with practice and time.
Get the opinions of people you trust – but wait till the first draft at least is finished. I've been discouraged by asking someone to read something too early, and by asking someone who knows nothing about the genre I'm writing. Not fun.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Nothing lasts – nothing good, nothing bad. Life is a cycle, always. Just keep hanging on.
What are you reading now?
I just finished "The Girl on the Train," and am about to start "The Likeness" by Tana French. I'm also rereading the Harry Potter series – again. It will always be a favourite, because of Rowling's skill as a storyteller.
What's next for you as a writer?
I am finishing the paranormal romance mentioned above, and starting research for two other ideas I am developing – a contemporary mystery, and a historical thriller set in France.
I'm also considering a memoir, as I've had some . . . interesting things happen to me in my life.
What is your favorite book of all time?
Hard to narrow that down to one! "To Kill a Mockingbird" would be at the top of the list for sure. Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series, of course. Also "The Time Traveller's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger, and "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruid Zafón.
And of course any book of the Harry Potter series is in a class by itself.

By Manuel Cruz
The first L.A. gangs in the barrios were not called gangs. Most of the barrio kids got together to have fun and play together, games that had been brought from Mexico, games that the kids today do not play anymore. There were some games that would take five to ten kids to play. All of the games that were played then had names, like El Encantado, which is now called "Freeze". The difference was everybody would stand inside a circle, and one kid would stand outside the circle, and they would run outside the circle and you would run after them and you would freeze them. This was only one game .There were other ones like the Culebra , Las Virgenes for girls, Tagwar for boys, and some other games that were played in the U.S. like kick the can, hide and seek, and so on.
Toys that were used then were spin the top, marbles, and flying kites; and for puppy lovers, there was the game called Spin the Bottle. Most of these games needed five to ten kids to play. All the toys were homemade .Another favorite pastime was singing with guitars, old folk songs, especially in the summer .As kids grew up a strong friendship was created .These were the Depression years of the 30's.
If you were lucky, and your father was working in the fields, construction co. or W.P.A., which is like C.E.T.A. jobs today, which were government programs, and if there was a little money left, you might get a nice old second hand toy from the Goodwill or from a second hand store. This included clothes and furniture, too.
One of the favorites home entertainments was a Philco. This was an old radio made then .The family would get together and listen to the Philco and hear the programs coming in from Hollywood ,programs like the comedy shows of Jack Benny ,Red Skelton, and Amos & Andy. You would also hear suspense shows like the Whistler and the Shadow Knows and also the Inner Sanctum. There were other shows like Sky King and Lone Ranger. You are wondering why I am mentioning all these shows. . .well, the first time that most barrio people heard the word "gang" was on the radio. The program was called Gangbusters. This program was on every week. It started with police sirens and screeching sounds and machineguns firing. But as far as the homeboys in the familias, they would never call their homeboys and girls "gang members". Like I said before, you would see the word "gangs" in the newspaper, that is if your father or mother would buy it, or else you might see it on the newspaper stands .Then, like now, how many homeboys or girls do you see buying the newspaper to read the news? Maybe some funny books, or movie stars magazines, but not newspapers. Besides most of the fathers and mothers couldn't read English very well. This was in the 30's.
I remember the first time I saw some homeboys imitating and acting like the Eastside kids of the movies, but it was all in fun, at first. Later on, I saw my first gang fight between La Mission homeboys and the Hicks's & Hayes homeboys. It was what they called then "clean fighting". This meant no kicking, no knives, and no guns, only fist fighting. Later on, in the 40's there was a big gang fight where all hell broke loose, in a big free-for-all gang fight. This happened in a place called El Rancho de Don Daniel, which was across from El Barrio "La Mission." Tu sabes this barrio was wiped out in the 40's. About two hundred familias lived there at one time. Now it is a very well-known park called Legg Lake. For the Chicanos that don't know where Rancho De Don Daniel was, well this is what they now call Marrano Beach. The only barrio left now is Pico Viejo. There were at one time, three other barrios called Las Flores, Canta Ranas y La Mission.
When we came back to Los Angeles in 1941, after the Pearl Harbor bombing, we moved to First Street and Vignes. At that time Little Tokyo on First Street was a ghost town, all the Japanese people had been put in camps. By this time you could see the Zoot Suiters all over town in the barrios por la First Street y por la Brooklyn Avenue and Whittier Boulevard, riding their old 1936 V8 Fords.
As for barrio cars in 1940, well, the barrio people were not working as much as the whites. Not until the beginning of World War II around 1942, alot of Chicanos were working in shipyards or in sheet metal shops or for manufacturing companies .Some cars being driven around the 40's actually were made in the 20's ,like your 1924 Ford or your 1927 Chevy,1936 V8 club coupe . . .also the '37 Ford , '37 Dodge and Plymouth. There were still alot of Model A's and Model T's .Most barrio people had not been working since 1929, when the Depression started ,except for W.P.A. jobs and farm work ,picking grapes ,walnuts and cotton in the summer , which is why most cars were ten years older or better. The first vato loco cars were called hot rods in the years of the 30's. Back then the in thing was speed.
In the late 30's and the 40's, up until the middle of the 50's, there was no place to race your cars , nor were there freeways.
It was done on your highways .The cars were fixed this way- a'36 Chevy club coupe would get its fenders taken off ,no spotlights or skirts on it ,usually a '34 Ford would get its front fenders and back fenders taken off .The best ones were two-door convertibles. Chicanos started fixing their cars .They would put dual pipes, rubber flaps with reflectors on them that went on the back of the rear flaps or license plates, skirts for the cars, one or two spotlights, and whitewalls. If you wanted a low rider, the only thing you could do then was put sandbags or cement sacks in the trunk to make them heavy . . . that was before the metal shocks .Those were the first low riders in L.A. in the 40's.Because of the war you could not buy gas. They would give you stamps to buy gas, food, clothes, and shoes. Most of the cars ended up being parked, because of the gas ration. Alot of people ended up walking on the street or taking the streetcar. If you lived out of town, you would have to take a streetcar called P.E. which stood for Pacific Electric.
In the 40's they stopped making cars. By 1943 the automobile companies were converting their manufacturing to make armor cars and trucks. The last model was 1942.They stopped making whitewalls and many of the parts that were needed for the cars .In fact most civilian manufacturing companies went into war products.
By 1943 most of the people in the big cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc. were working, and in any industrial city, even farming was up. Everybody was busy working, making money.
Thousands of Chicanos had volunteered for the armed services and thousands more were drafted. Everybody had the G.I. fever .Meanwhile, here in Los Angeles Pachucos were getting harassed by the "man". You see, they saw him like some kind of an oddball while everybody was using G.I. haircuts; he had long hair, plus the fact that everybody that was from a big city was dressed in the same styles. While the Pachuco had the peg pants, chain on the side, they measured 17 inches on the knee, and 12 inches on the bottom. In fact, some pants were so right on the bottom they had zippers right at the bottom by the ankle. Most of the clothes were tailor made. At that time there were alot of tailors in the barrio to get your suit made right. It was the thing; you would see them walk into the shops, check out materials. There weren't that many different kinds of materials to choose from. The most popular was shark skin, the gabardine, the flannel cotton shirts, silk shirts, silk socks, and wide ties, thin belts, and double sole shoes. The double sole was put on the shoes because it was easier to put a double sole on your old shoes, than to buy a new pair because the shoes were rationed. Shoe companies were making combat boots. The girls wore short skirts, blouses with puffed sleeves or no sleeves, and off the shoulder blouses, knitted stockings, flowers in their hair and very white oxfords, and bunny shoes. You see, this is how the Chicano dressed, very neat and clean. They did not conform to the square look. This bugged the law and the school and the restaurant people.
In 1943 there was this incident that happened between the Pachucos and the sailors. By June 3, 1943 sailors were searching the streets for zoot suiters .Although most Chicanos were not wearing zoot suits, they were all considered zooters. There were approximately 200 sailors that were picked up by taxis at the naval base and taken to the barrio .The police arrested nine sailors to make it look good .However, that still left almost 200 sailors to riot and attack on the Chicano community .And on June 5, sailors, soldiers, and marines, along with some civilians, adding up to several thousand turned into a mob and attacked the Chicano communities. The rioting got out of hand and other minorities were also attacked .This was connected with the Sleepy Lagoon Case.
I know for a fact, because my uncle at that time wore the threads that were worn back then. He and several friends of his that had recently come from Mexico and El Paso, Texas were coming out of the Aztec Recording Co. which was on Third & Main when they were attacked by a gang of sailors. These men were all composers and writers and singers that had just arrived from Texas and Mexico. They were not Pachucos . There was another time when I was coming from Olvera Street walking on Main, and I got to Second and Main .A cop, the man with the star hat of that time which was made out of cloth, was choking the Pachuco with his club and had him against the window of a liquor store. While he was choking him, the poor homeboy was slipping and sliding because the thick soles and taps on his shoes were wet from the rainy night. It was pouring, I felt helpless .All I knew was that he was a carnal, and I couldn't help him later on as I walked down on Main Street. I passed the boxing gym , passed the penny arcades and then I made a left on Seventh Street when I got to Seventh and San Pedro , I saw my mother crying and angry .She told me that a marine and sailor had jumped and kicked my brother down .She said that my sister and she fought off these jive punks .She might of not have used those words ,but you know what I mean .You see ,my mother owned a restaurant and bar on Seventh St. and San Pedro Streets .My mother bought this restaurant-bar from a Japanese family that had been thrown in the American made concentration camp. They had to sell this place to my mother cheap. Prior to that, she had a taco restaurant on Second and Spring Street which she bought from a Filipino man. You see, he went to war not by joining the army, but by flying to the Philippine Islands to help his people. I never saw this man again .This is how my mother got the money to buy the restaurant-bar on Seventh and San Pedro from the Japanese family.
In 1941 I didn't think all my Japanese farm working friends were going to be put into concentration camps. What I am really trying to say is that First St. from Vignes and First to Main St., that all the Japanese people were gone .You see; we rented a hotel on First and Vignes. From there on from 1941 to 1945 I made the rounds to the different barrios. For five years I saw the changes in the barrios, I saw the blacks come into First Street, which is now called Little Tokyo. At that time they used to call it Little Harlem. I used to walk down the street hearing blues in the juke boxes and the boogie woogie and see them dance the jitterbug. Walking up and down the different barrios like Dogtown, the Flats, La First Street, La State, La Diamond, La Temple, and La Alpine which was right next to the Angels Flight (streetcar).
We used to cruise on our low riders to Tin Can Beach, on Alameda Street. We used to pass Clanton, 38th St. and El Jardin and used to stop and trip and also cruise through Willowbrook and Watts, and stop at the radio station and listen to Hunter Hancock's rhythm and blues and we would dedicate songs and listen to them while we were cruising to Long Beach and the Pike. We would also hit the games, get on the ferris wheel and walk down to the penny arcades and get on the roller coaster.
This was the big thing to do. They used to call it The Cyclone. It's like the roller coaster at Magic Mountain today. After blowing our money, whatever we had, the vatos and the whisas would get on their hotrods or low riders and go to Tin Can Beach (Bolsa Chica State Park) and have a weenie bake. They would take their old portable radios. They were king size, weighing about ten pounds. I would get my guitar and play some barrio Chuco songs, after jiving and tripping, we'd start making it back home, all the way down Alameda St. to the barrio in L.A. Usually we would end up making a bonfire by burning a tire or some wood. After hours we would end up in a barrio party that had very dim blue lights. You would call it the house of blue lights parties. The records that were played were the old 78's; they were sounds of ballads by Billy Eckstine, soft and easy with the home boys and girls dancing to the mood. This was at the old Macy Barrio. To change the mood we would play some swing records like Pachuco Hop and also Joe Higgins and Honey Drippers. They would also dance to the big bands. The most favorite sounds were Glen Miller's "Chattanooga Choo-Choo", "Tuxedo Junction" and also "String of Pearls", and "In The Mood". Only the Chucos that knew how to dance jitterbug would get up and dance. Another famous big band was Tommy Dorsey and his record was "Boogie Woogie". Some would get up and do the dirty boogie, or the camel walk. Then we would play a slow piece and everybody would make it home .This was around 1948.
At that time Dogtown and Alpine, Hazard y La Clover would go down to Olvera Street to a place called "The Pachuco Inn". It was a small club next to the post office. Here is where you would see alot of jitterbug contests. Most Chucos would trip around this area.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Suspect in Broadmoor Baptist Church carjacking captured
Police link DNA to suspect after victim fights back.
Shreveport Police have arrested a local African-American man accused of car-jacking a white Shreveport woman last month from the parking lot of Broadmoor Baptist Church in south Shreveport.
Just before 6:00 p.m. Friday April 19, 2013, Shreveport Police officers responded to the intersection of Southfield Road at Youree Drive relative to an alleged car-jacking. Upon their arrival at the scene, authorities made contact with the adult victim who advised that while in the 4100 block of Youree Drive, she was accosted by a black male who approached her vehicle as she was preparing to exit a private parking lot. According to the victim, the man, after beckoning for her to roll down her window, forced his way inside the woman's SUV forcing her to remain captive in the vehicle as he sped off. During the terrifying ordeal, the victim, amid struggles with the offender, managed to escape from the suspects grasp and jump from the vehicle as it slowed near the intersection of Southfield Road at Youree Drive. The suspect, after losing his would be captor, fled the scene driving the victim's stolen vehicle. The woman, who escaped serious injury was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The victims vehicle was later located abandoned near Clyde Fant Parkway.
During authorities processing of the respective crime scenes, Crime Scene Investigators recovered DNA evidence that was in turn submitted to the North Louisiana Crime Lab for analysis. Detectives were notified that the DNA evidence recovered from the crime scene had been matched to 34 year old Donnie Ray Baker Jr. At approximately 4:30 p.m. this afternoon, upon securing a warrant for his arrest, authorities located Baker at a home in the 1500 block of Clover Street and took him into custody without incident. Following interviews with detectives, Baker was booked into the Shreveport City Jail on charges of aggravated kidnapping and car-jacking. His bond has been set at 600,000.00.
Since the woman fought back, police were reportedly able to recover DNA from under the victim's fingernails. Police did not say if that DNA led them to their suspect.
In Louisiana, DNA samples are collected from anyone arrested for a felony. That DNA is then put into a central database which helps police to track down criminals like Baker.

At a time when many of us -- due to finances, the environment or increasing urbanization -- are trying to put our homes on a diet, there's one obvious place to cut: our bedrooms.
"The bed is dead", says Ron Barth of Resource Furniture. To Barth, the idea of occupying a room just to house a bed is archaic. So he's selling the alternative.
As we toured his showroom, Barth -- in a move that evoked James Bond -- lightly tapped a bookshelf and it quickly swiveled to reveal a fold down bed. At another stop, he tapped a desk and up it popped- with the computer and desk stuff still upright- to reveal yet another fully-sprung bed.
One shopping spree here and, Barth is right, you could successfully eliminate any evidence of a bed in your home. And without the awkwardness of Murphy Beds. This more modern transforming furniture (much of it designed and made in Italy y Clei) is high style and, thanks to the hydraulics, effortless.
The bed/couch/desk/bookshelf combinations -- mostly designed and made by Clei in Italy -- aren't cheap, but as Barth argues, if you can eliminate a bedroom, it could save you 100 thousand dollars or two.More small spaces videos from faircompanies:

eBay and Creed is a tricky mix. Search the boards and you'll find a wealth of information. Your best bet is to go with an e-tailer that occasionally has Creed's, but the freshness will likely not be what you'll get retail.
Of course, Creed doesn't help matters by using low quality atomizers and caps. My genuine GIT (a gift bought retail at Neiman's) leaks out from the bottom of the sprayer if you try to dose a partial spray. I'd think it's a fake if I didn't see the Neiman's box and receipt.
Of course... it does smell amazing.

'Doctor Who' turns 50

Hungarian Doctor Who cosplayer unity
As a Hungarian fan it was a bit more complicated to get to Doctor Who. I was amazed with the couple of episodes I catched on tv ever since it's on and ended up watching and becoming a big fan a couple of years ago. I'm also a cosplayer so I was very happy when a fellow cosplayer and Doctor Who fan asked me to join a photoshoot project. Since there are unfortunately not enough Doctor Who cosplayer boys in Hungary yet we decided to make a female version group from the 11 Doctors. It turned out to be a difficult task, we had to reorganise the group a couple of times and worked together a lot discussing ideas to desing the outfits. I get to be the 7th Doctor since he is one of my favorite for his gamemaster ways of dealing with things. Our third Doctor couldn't make it to the photoshoot at the end due to an illness but we replaced her with a dalek. We told everyone her regeneration went quite a bit sideways since everyone else turned female only the 3rd Doctor turned into a dalek. We wandered around Budapest for a day, had a picnic, made photos and even met some other fans. We hope to make some other projects in the future or maybe finally a photoshoot with all the Doctors. For now please enjoy the pictures! :)

'Community' Kills Off Major Character in Season 5 – What Did You Think?
- By
- 32 Comments
[There will be MAJOR SPOILERS for the latest episode of Community in this article]
With the exception of Abed's trip inside the metaphorical Nic Cage bee helmet, last week's season premiere of Community mostly concerned itself with setting a tone for the season. But as tonight's episode parodied murder shows with the campus going into lock-down because of the ass-crack bandit, it seemed like the Community of old – that is, until the very end.
If you haven't seen the episode and you are the dangerous sort that ignores SPOILER WARNINGS, then please accept our condolences because in the last few moments of tonight's episode, Shirley walked down a hallway to deliver the news that Pierce Hawthorne had suffered a heart attack and died off-screen.
Played by Chevy Chase through most of the show's first four years, the actor left the series in the middle of filming last season, but – because he already filmed it – was a part of the season finale and graduated with Jeff Winger (Joel McHale).
Chase popped up in a top secret cameo as a hologram in last week's premiere episode, 'Re-Pilot,' shocking audiences due to the nature of his departure from the show and his often rocky relationship with restored showrunner Dan Harmon, but now it seems that either Harmon, Chase, or both wanted one last send-off for the character.
As for the show, questions abound with regard to how they will deal with this in the coming weeks. On one hand, many likely feel as if they saw this coming and no one really assumed that Pierce would be a part of the show's future. Now that the character is actually dead, though, it seems likely that Dan Harmon will find a way to make his exit impactful.
Here's a brief synopsis for next week's episode from TV Guide:
A team of investigators grill the study group after Pierce's death in order to execute his will, leading the group to learn surprising things about one other.
So, clearly the show will grieve properly, but while that is commendable and probably necessary, one has to wonder if we really have seen the last of Pierce Hawthorne and Chevy Chase on Community – and it's not just last week's hologram cameo that inspires wonder.
Hawthorne does… or did have a penchant for faking heart attacks, and it's also worth noting that tonight's episode featured the return of Star-Burns, who had faked his death at the end of season 3. Is it possible that we're being played? With Community, something like that is always possible, but it seems more likely that this was it for the character. And if that's the case, it certainly seems better to offer fans and the show's other characters a bit of closure rather than nothing at all.
Pierce Hawthorne may have been an occasionally annoying, boring, and offensive character, but he was also a key cog in the Community machinery whose sageness was often undercut but occasionally well-used, and his impact will almost surely still be felt as the show goes on.
So, how do you feel about the death of Pierce Hawthorne? Are you surprised, did you expect it, and what about that last appearance on the show? It was great to see Chase play the role again, but did it take away from the poetry of him finally graduating at the end of last season ? Let us know in the comment section.
Community airs Thursdays @8pm on NBC.

Left display window: mannequins in Diesel underwear (and one with a hat, one wearing bow tie, and the other sporting a bandana), and the slogan -- EQUALITY IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
Wait -- is it my imagination, or is Saks Fifth Avenue satirizing the gay marriage assimilation agenda?
Middle windows: a (fisting?) glove hanging from the ceiling prepares to dial numbers for various male names on post-its -- Jon? Chad? Carter? Dick? The slogan: CALLING FOR EQUALITY.
The final window: mannequins in designer underwear (not only Diesel now, I think I spot some Calvin Klein!), wearing tie, bandana and hat (and oh, those cute socks!), and yes, the slogan -- EQUALITY IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
Somebody give that window designer my number!

Those socks *are* cute.
Maybe what we're seeing here is the result of the following scenario:
Window manager to designer: We have to have a gay marriage window - they're our best customers!
The designer, alas, turns out to be a queer in two or three minds about the issue, may not even give a hoot about GM and the result: either a rendition of the unconscious of the designer, or the real picture of the schizophrenic GM.
End Message:NOBODY REALLY WANTS TO GET MARRIED!
Nobody here!
I want to get married...
and you can stop calling me a nobody right now!
I definitely see a marketing opportunity at work here. This corporate consumerist fashion house taking advantage of a community with cash and little cache...calling out to the elites...spend your money here!! We are on your side! We get it! Look good and be cool by spending your money on us.
It reminds me of the kind of people that sell books and conduct speaking engagements that promote a position outside the box...you know the type...resist! Be free of social bonds and rules by reading my books! Spend your money on me! Follow my point of view and become part of MY ideology (and help me build my repuation as being shocking and outrageous...a true queer). You too can bask in the glow of my cult of personality if you spend your money on me.
Whorishness...own it. Display it and mock it and point it out, by all means. Just realize that self promotion is all around us.
Oh, Patrick...I hardly know you, but I love you.
first things first: fisting gloves are lavender nitryl gloves or almost translucent latex, not something black and rigid enough to stand up upside-down.
I don't see a marriage assimilation meme, but a clever play to consumerist men of all sexualities. To Da Gayz: buy this, you'll be hawt. To the hets: buy this, you'll be as cool as Da Gayz. To the bis: buy this, and you'll be indistinguishable from the get guys trying to one-up Da Gayz.
Kinda shocked they didn't look for a branding agreement with JSol to slap one of those math symbols on the threads.
But wait -- who said anything about comfort?
Probably your imagination.
Never ask a barber if you need a haircut!
I know -- I always go to Vidal Sassoon!
I would like you to click your heels three times and repeat over and again:
"It is my imagination, it is my imagination, it is my imagination..."
Are you implying that Vidal Sassoon has has ever told you you did not need a haircut at their prices?
This is yet another example of commercial interests disguising themselves as support for the Gay community. Corporate could give a rat's patootie about our "equality, equivalency, or domesticity" provided we buy their crap when it is not on sale.
Darling, I'm just being campy -- does Vidal Sassoon even exist anymore?
Of course it's "commercial interests disguising themselves as support," but I still think the designer had a critique in mind -- I mean really, does a bunch of naked mannequins deciding what number to dial from an endless array of post-it possibilities really make you think marriage marriage marriage?
Of course, I always think marriage marriage marriage...
And click my heels I will: "there's no place" -- no place, indeed...
:) OK, "Hair Performers" then. How would I know from Asia if "Sassooning" is still happening. Here we use hair products from France. :)
I think any statement is open to interpretation other than that they WANT TO SELL UNDERWEAR! ;D
The lesson is to get a flowbee, and make your own choice about when to cut your hair!
Good point -- does Saks sell those?
Two questions:
1. Which Saks store had this display?
2. Why does the window say, "Saks Celebrates 39 Years of Gay Pride?" Aren't we observing the 40th anniversary of Stonewall?
It is about time that people see that homosexuality is normal.
Yasmin, but what about all those names on yellow post-its, who should we call today? Oh, I know -- marriage! Don't worry -- I've got a big cubic zirconium ring for that designer, for sure...
Stephen, but the important question: will you be wearing Diesel underwear, and pulling your t-shirt up over your head like a teenage soccer star?
Patrick, as someone who made a living as a whore (um, the old-school kind) until quite recently (and wrote books about it), and will probably never, unfortunately, make a living off promoting "a position outside the box," I still want to talk about this advertising campaign -- the funny thing to me is that it doesn't seem like the classic take-advantage-of-cache strategy, because it seems to be making fun of the very consumers...
Tom, it's in San Francisco -- and I didn't see the part about 39 years!
Tracy, is that the hidden message?
Wait -- I figured out the 39 years of "pride" -- that first year might have been liberation...
It was when we let bar floats take over the Gay Pride events that we lost it. That was around 1976 as I recall. It was a "Bicentennial Thing" that morphed into corporate sponsorship of all things Gay. And we, obedient sheep Gay Americans, accepted that others should put on our show.
I stopped marching Gay Pride events in 1980 out of disgust and viewed only two in the following 20 years. This crap was not what I stood up for originally.
Crap, indeed!
Shock value for tourists who will never figure it out anyway.
Must we all cheapen ourselves by copying straight people who fornicate all over the planets public square?
Under the skin or on top of it?
How about some chubby bears and hairy dykes? At least we can try and be more inclusive.
True enough -- I doubt the tourists will figure it out...
But what is with all of this sex-negative silliness? "Fornicate"-- and really, who uses that word?
As for chubby bear and hairy dyke mannequins -- it's hard to say whether that would be inclusivity, exactly -- although a diversity of mannequins is certainly what the mainstream gay movement seems to be after!
Perhaps the display is mocking the grouches who are certain marriage implies a boring sex life.
Aha -- Saks Fifth Avenue is promoting sluttiness within marriage, I'm aghast!

Taslima conferred Simon de Beauvoir honour
January 14, 2008 08:57 IST
Hounded out of Kolkata for her allegedly anti-Islamic writings, Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasreen [Images] has been chosen for the prestigious Simon de Beauvoir feminist award in recognition of her writing on rights for women.
Nasreen told PTI from an undisclosed location in Delhi that she felt 'honoured by the award' named after the renowned French author.
"This honour coming on Beauvoir's 100th birth anniversary gives solace at this period. More because I am honoured in France [Images] for my writings and views while facing harassment in Bangladesh and India," the controversial writer said.
The writer, who is yearning to return to the city of her love, could not go to Paris, but sent a message, which was read out at the function on January 9.
Beauvoir, a hallowed name for her views on feminist issues, wrote the much discussed 'Second Sex' in the 1960s.

A Fast Restoration Method for the High Priority Traffics in MPLS Networks
Lee Bong-Ha ; Kim Eung-Ha ; Song Jung-Gil ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 1~9
Path restoration, which is needed to increase network survivability in MPLS networks, is a technology of supplying reliable service by delivering the traffics through restoring the paths when links or nodes of a working path are failed. In this paper, we propose a path restoration method using duplication of working paths for link failure as a method of restoring paths for the high priority traffics. The existing path restoration method transmits the traffics to the path restoration uniformly in regardless of the priority while link obstacle. It has a problem to take a long time to restore the connection of the high priority traffics. On the other hand, the suggested restoration method establishes the duplication path for the working path, which transmits the high priority traffics and transmit the traffics through the duplication path. It has a strong point to restore the connection quickly. Also, through simulation we analyze the performance of the restoration system using the duplication path and prove that the proposed restoration method is superior in performance to the existing restoration methods regarding to the high priority traffics.
Design and Implementation of Raw File System for Web Cache Server
Kim Seong-Rak ; Koo Young-Wan ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 11~19
The technique which stores cache data in EXT2 or UFS designed for general purpose is not suitable for satisfying the speed required for web cache due to the general purpose file system. This study shows that there is the better solution by optimizing the file system using the characteristics of web file. It is impossible that the suggested RawCFS changes the size of cached object and the access authentication, and this results from the existence of up-to-dated object in the original server. This file system is proved in the capability test that it is faster than the technique by 40% which stores in each file by object unit. This can be used in the design of high end web server such as shoppingmall or Internet Broadcasting station which should provide objects like image or HTML as well as cache server to the client for the fast service.
Web Version Management System for Software Cooperation Development Environment
Kim Soo-Yong ; Choi Dong-Oun ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 21~30
This paper is to describe how to refer to software objects and reuse them through the web browser so that ail the members of the software development team can collaborate with each other on the development procedure, In addition, we describe how to convert the
,mdl design information generated from the UML editor into their corresponding XML data, which is arranged to be saved in the relational database system. Furthermore, we provide a facet retrieval system based on which makes use of a object-oriented thesaurus, which supports an integrated environment through which all the project team members can share a lot of source codes and execution files as weil as object files produced from the web-based collaborative development environment. Finally, we have designed and implemented a web version management system that facilitates software developers to manage in their web-based search for the relationship of design informations.
On Natural Motion Editing by a Geometric Mean Filter
Kim Jin-Ok ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 31~37
Recently, motion capture has become one of the most promising technologies in animation. Realistic motion data can be captured by recording the movement of a real actor with an optical or magnetic motion capture system. This paper deals with motion editing by a geometric mean filter. Since the captured motion has some noises that cause a jerky motion, it needs a smoothing process to make it natural. A geometric mean filter is proposed to produce natural motions without jerky motions. Experimental results show that the geometric mean filter can effectively remove noises that cause a jerky motion and it can guarantee the most natural motions among various spatial filters. This method could be applied to the various fields such as real time animation, virtual reality applications, 3D applications, and etc.
The Modeling and Traffic Feedback Control for QoS Management on Local Network
Park Jong-jin ; Huh Eui-Nam ; Mun Young-song ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 39~45
Throughput response characteristics depending on the network bandwidth allocation is needed to be modeled to devise adaptive control mechanism to support QoS of the local network. In this study, we propose a dynamic system model that reveals the response characteristics of network. The adaptive traffic feedback control is applied to this model. And we simulate this system for optimization of adaptive control mechanism.
Design and Implementation of an XML Editor based on WYSIWYG
Son Chung-Beom ; Yoo Jae-Soo ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 47~60
As XML has been used as a markup language for standard documents in various areas, it requires an XML editing tool which writes XML documents easily and presents the style of documents. Therefore, many companies have developed XML editing tools and have released the products. However, it is hard for beginners to write XML documents using such tools. In this paper, we design and implement an XML editor based on WYSIWYG(What You See Is What You Get) that beginners as well as exports can use easily. Our XML editor allows beginners to write easily XML documents and style documents. We also integrate our XML editor with the XML repository system developed in our laboratory.
Obesity Evaluation System using Fuzzy Inference
Jeong Gu-Beom ; Kim Doo-Ywan ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 61~67
It has recently become known that the social issue of obesity, caused by increased caloric intake and lack of exercise, is a risk factor in the cause of various adult diseases. Above all, to prevent or cure obesity, we must accurately evaluate the degree of obesity, and we have used BML, WHR, and waist measurements for this purpose. In this paper, we propose an obesity evaluation system based on fuzzy inference using BML and waist measurement. For this purpose, we decided reasoning rule and membership function about BML and waist measurements. The inference result is presented in a descriptive sentence.
Modificated Intrusion Pattern Classification Technique based on Bayesian Network
Cha Byung-Rae ; Park Kyoung-Woo ; Seo Jae-Hyeon ;
Journal of Internet Computing and Services, volume 4, issue 2, 2003, Pages 69~80
Program Behavior Intrusion Detection Technique analyses system calls that called by daemon program or root authority, constructs profiles, and detectes modificated anomaly intrusions effectively. In this paper, the relation among system calls of processes is represented by bayesian network and Multiple Sequence Alignment. Program behavior profiling by Bayesian Network classifies modified anomaly intrusion behaviors, and detects anomaly behaviors. we had simulation by proposed normal behavior profiling technique using UNM data.

Creativity is motivated by our desire to share our stories, and to explore the legacies that emerge from our personal and shared histories. Stories are also inspired by the journeys of our Ancestors; the landscapes we inhabit; and the worlds we imagine. These stories are expressed through visual culture; the moving image, performance, music, objects, and the spoken and written word. Creativity can be an incredibly healing process when we allow ourselves to use it as a vehicle of self reflectivity then express those findings. Finally, creativity is intelligence having fun, especially when we experience it together.
P.D. Casely-Hayford
Enjoy projects on visual culture including experimental film; documentary film; public art; theatre, film-theatre, storytelling and performance. Explore a collection of books and blogs from African and African diaspora women creative writers and bloggers. Also, we share fascinating creative community outreach projects by Laterally Creative and like-minded creative people. Most of the material on this website is written and produced by Dr Casely-Hayford [Phd, M.A] except where attributed to colleagues. Casely-Hayford's creative and critical focus is visual culture, film, diaspora creativity, legacy and voice. The site also features articles and images from selected community organisations and creative practitioners.
We live in a transnational world. Our diaspora experience is one of glancing back to our culture as we stride towards our destinations. This journey brings up an increasingly complex question. Where is home? Perhaps home is an imagined place. This changes with our shifting perception, life experience, remembering, and re-imagining culture.
Here are some publications by women writers of West African heritage that explore the diaspora experience, complexities of stepping out of our surroundings, and explore our notion of home.
These include:
Creative community outreach projects harness the power of storytelling and self expression from local communities to voice their legacy and standpoints. Often the process of creating these projects is just as important as the final works they produce. Here are some fascinating examples:
Artwork: P.D. Casely-Hayford
Creative collaboration features three projects that involved creative practitioners who were interested in experimenting with their artistic process while working towards a common goal: not knowing, unknowing.
Project 24 Reboot: Two artists, an Indigenous Australian and an African-Australian start up a conversation expressed through a series of their creative works.
Red Hat: Playback theatre & experimental film-work merges on stage. This merging of film and playback theatre created a groundbreaking performance process.
Everywhere that Mary Went: Impro-Goth: What happens when film improvisation meets urban gothic drama?
What is Visual Culture? This critical theory investigates the ways in which we create and interpret artistic expressions. The term evokes us to consider the influences and politics of culture as we interrogate the voice that directs our gaze, our listening, and meaning.
Visual culture theory invites us to investigate the ways in which people, places, and culture are represented in creative works. Let's ask the question. Art for whose sake?
Here are some experimental films that were screened at International Film Festivals and showcased at exhibitions. These works explore visual culture, Othering, cultural representations and the re-imagining legacy.
We are slowly building a series of articles and blogs. This repository will focus on creative community outreach projects, visual culture, creative process, the artistic intersections created by transnationalism, diaspora creativity, representation and legacy, and voice, and the creative experiences of our contributors in the field.
A far fetched children's story will be available in print, digital and audio formats. Also, the classic Project 24 project will be rebooted soon. Plus, a series of experimental films and soundscapes inspired by selected poems. And, a new experimental play. Finally, a series of creative community outreach projects. All in Africa time .…

All missing in blast accounted for
All eight people reported missing after a gas explosion flattened two buildings in New York have been found and identified, the city's fire commissioner has said.
Salvatore Cassano said no-one else is known to be missing, but he stressed at a news conference that the rescue operation will continue in case there are unknown survivors still in the rubble.
Mr Cassano said some 60%-70% of debris has been cleared and workers hope to clear all the debris by midday tomorrow. Then, detectives and fire marshals will be able to access the basements of the buildings to begin their investigation into what might have caused the blast.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said more than 100 people displaced by the blast will be provided with temporary and long-term housing.

Last season San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had a better season than a lot of people think he did. Before the season started, people expected him to have an incredible season. What people didn't take into account was that defensive coaches had a whole offseason to gameplan against Kaepernick. Also, before the season even started, he lost his favorite target, Michael Crabtree, to a torn Achilles. The deck was stacked against him at the start of the 2013 season, but the tables have turned for this upcoming season.
Last season was, in most people's eyes, considered a disappointing season for Kaepernick. But when you look at the stats, it wasn't as bad as some people would have you believe. He threw for 3,197 yards, 21 touchdowns, eight interceptions, 91.6 passer rating and ran for 524 yards with four rushing touchdowns.
If you compare those numbers to quarterbacks with similar styles of play who most people would say had good seasons, like Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks and Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers, they compare much closer than you'd think.
Wilson threw for 3,357 yards, 26 touchdowns, nine interceptions, 101.2 passer rating and ran for 539 yards and one touchdown. Newton threw for 3,379 yards, 24 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, 88.8 passer rating and ran for 585 yards and three touchdowns. As you can see, very similar numbers to two quarterbacks thought to have very good years.
Kaepernick's weapons are also better than they were last year. At the end of the year when Crabtree came back, they did very well together, but Crabtree still wasn't completely healthy. Barring another injury, Crabtree will be completely healthy at the start of the season.
The injury of Quinton Patton is another weapon Kaepernick was missing for a lot of last season. Patton and Kaepernick have great chemistry together and Patton is an incredible talent who people aren't talking about right now.
The addition of Stevie Johnson from the Buffalo Bills is just another toy for Kaepernick to play with. The one type of wide receiver the 49ers were missing last season was a burner who could take the tops off of defenses and prevent the safeties from sitting on Anquan Boldin and Crabtree's intermediate routes. With Johnson speeding down the field, it's going to force safeties to play deep and open up the shorter routes for the other guys.
New draft pick Carlos Hyde is going to help Kaepernick a lot too. He's an incredible receiver as far as running backs go, and he's going to take some of the load from Frank Gore. Last season when the 49ers gave Gore some rest, they wouldn't be able to get many yards with their other running backs.
Now they have Hyde and Marcus Lattimore who can gain substantial yardage which keeps Gore healthier and more effective. Having three effective running backs will keep defenses honest and allow Kaepernick more opportunity to gain yards through the air.
What a lot of people don't realize is that the NFL is an act and react league. When schemes change, offensive schemes or defensive schemes, and are extremely effective, opposing coaches study it without rest until they figure out something to counter it.
When Kaepernick came in as the 49ers' starter in the middle of the 2012 season, he took the league by storm. It seemed like he couldn't be stopped. When he ran the read-option the defenders didn't know what to do. When the 2013 season came around after almost a whole year of coaches studying the read-option, it was clear that the read-option wasn't nearly as effective.
Coaches studied Kaepernick and all his tendencies. That was the NFL reacting. Now it's Kaepernick's turn to react. He's now the one with the whole offseason to study what teams did against him and change it. This could very well be the biggest factor to him having a huge year.
Kaepernick is poised to have a big 2014 season. The stars are aligning for him and you could easily see him taking this 49ers offense into the top 10. He studies harder than anyone in the league not named Manning, he works harder than anyone in the league and he's physically able to make any throw on the field. The 49ers better get Kaepernick his contract extension because if they wait until after this season, it could cost them millions.

COLUMBIA, S.C. Cue the TV cameras and dig out the new visors. Steve Spurrier is back.
Spurrier begins his South Carolina coaching career Thursday night against Central Florida. And befitting the return of one of college football's most charismatic personalities, a joyous party is planned for sold-out Williams-Brice Stadium.
ESPN is basing its College GameDay show in town, along with profiling the Palmetto State in the network's continuing feature highlighting all 50 states. The country band Big & Rich will perform before the game.
The main attraction, though, comes before kickoff when the 60-year-old Spurrier steps onto the field after three years away from the college game where his Florida teams once consistently contended for the national title.
''We realize we have not done anything to earn the spotlight, but we'll take it,'' Spurrier said. ''Hopefully, our play will prove that maybe we deserve it. So that's what we'll try and do Thursday night.''
Spurrier was involved the last time South Carolina enjoyed this sort of attention. Then, he was a bitter rival as Florida came to town and, with a 54-17 victory, ended the Gamecocks' bid for an SEC Eastern Division title in 2001.
He left in true Spurrier style, poking fun at South Carolina's efforts to ''Black Out Florida'' fans dressed in black to show unity when he said one of his receivers mentioned it was ''nice of them to wear all black so we can pick the ball out of the sky.''
Those same Gamecock supporters who angrily crumpled up Spurrier's jabs after reading the next day's newspaper have turned out in record numbers to support their newest star. The stadium has been sold out for weeks, fans came by the hundreds to watch routine summer practices and Spurrier has been cheered at every appearance.
His new players are eating it up. Defensive end Orus Lambert says Spurrier's legacy in the SEC is the excitement and passion he generates. ''We love it and we can't wait to play,'' he says.
Spurrier has increased the school's exposure as well. He has been a one-man publicity machine for South Carolina this offseason, putting a happy face on the team's numerous problems including criminal charges against several players and NCAA probation for violations during predecessor Lou Holtz's tenure.
He has discussed losing desire near the end of his disappointing two years as Washington Redskins coach, of growing tired of golf during his year off and surprising many in college football by choosing to lead one of his favorite patsies from his Florida days. Spurrier's Gators were 10-0 against the Gamecocks.
Through it all, Spurrier has grinned and vowed the Gamecocks indeed have what it takes to win a Southeastern Conference title but maybe not right away.
''I do think that we have a team that has a chance to do some good things this year,'' Spurrier said. ''Now, whether or not we achieve that, we will just have to wait and see.''
Central Florida enters the game with a 15-game losing streak. The Golden Knights have lost their season opener on ESPN each of the past three seasons. UCF coach George O'Leary, who resigned five days after taking the coaching job at Notre Dame because he lied on his resume, has had his share of experience with media attention. He has tried to put the focus on South Carolina's team, not its superstar coach.
''The game's about South Carolina and UCF football players,'' O'Leary said. ''The players are only thinking about who they'll look across from, they're not concerned about Steve or myself.''
But Spurrier knows he'll get a lot of TV attention Thursday.
''We're trying to make it a positive,'' Spurrier said. ''We're trying to tell them just a little bit it's a big game for us. This is not just another game. This is a big game because we're in the national spotlight. ... Let's take advantage of it.''

According to Patently Apple, the patent application describes a near-field communication service called "iTravel."
iTravel is described in the patent abstract as "a method and system for transportation check-in (e.g.:, ticketing and identification) via near field communication (NFC) using a handheld electronic device, such as a cellular phone or a personal media player".
Using NFC for check-in, "the handheld device may store and transmit travel reservations and traveler identifications using a travel management application. Various methods may be employed to acquire the reservation and identification information on the handheld device."
Various sites, such as ZDNet, speculate that Apple could be planning to expand on its new iOS 6 Passbook app.
Examples listed in the filing include using the app to make reservations or pull them up from a site or another NFC-enabled device. Also, you can have your driver's license or passport scanned into the app.

The zoological study conducted in Elementary Schools is presented as a reason for high interest from students. Among the groups, snakes evoke great fascination on particular issues, especially in questions about the classification of venomous snakes. Anxious to point out the harmful factors in the process of learning the subject, a questionnaire was used to identify investigative physio-morphological characteristics in order to assess the educational literature from the perspective of the teaching of the main characteristics of Brazilian venomous snakes, tracing parallels the direct influence of these books have on the knowledge gained from the students analyzed. The data suggest that more efficient use of a narrative language in relation to the comparative tables.

Washington - A form of Ebola virus has been detected in pigs for the first time, raising the possibility that it could mutate and threaten humans, scientists report.
Reston Ebolavirus (Rebov) has been seen only in monkeys and humans previously and, unlike other types of ebola, it is not known to cause illness in people.
The discovery of Rebov in pigs in the Philippines is reported in Friday's edition of the journal Science.
Researchers say it is theoretically possible for the virus to mutate in pigs into a form that might sicken people.
However, they noted that while some farm workers tending the pigs also had become infected, they showed no signs of illness.

Is Ubuntu Jaunty quick enough to beat Windows 7?
When Mark Shuttleworth first announced plans for Ubuntu 9.04 his primary objective was to make the operating system boot faster. With a battle with Microsoft's Windows 7 looming, the speed of startup - and shutdown - of a laptop PC has become a critical battleground. But while Ubuntu developers have been working feverishly to speed up boot times, so too has the Windows 7 team over at Redmond.
Announcing Jaunty, Shuttleworth said: "There are some specific goals that we need to meet in Jaunty," Shuttleworth said. "One of them is boot time. We want Ubuntu to boot as fast as possible - both in the standard case, and especially when it is being tailored to a specific device.
But beating an older version of Ubuntu in a boot-up is not as important as beating Windows 7 at the same job. Initial reports of Windows 7 on netbooks suggests that Microsoft may still have the lead here.

Aww come on
How many times does a Linux user have to reboot their machines each day? I dont know about others but my desktop machine been up now for months.
re: Aww come on
So has mine. 128 days 16 hours and change to be exact. It's Windows XP Pro SP3.
Linux fans need to get a new FUD chant - BSOD, numerous reboots, crashing, etc are long gone for the windows crowd.
Like anything technical, it mostly depends on how it's setup and what the user does then on what OS it runs.
Stupid users will always find a way to FUBAR a system, no matter what OS they're using.

The Rules of Life
A summary of the book If Life is a Game, These are the Rules by Cherie Carter-Scott
- You will receive a body: You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period of this time around.
- You will learn lessons: You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called LIFE. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think of them as irrelevant and stupid.
- There are no mistakes, only lessons: Growth is a process of experimentation, a series of trials, errors, and occasional victories. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately work.
- A lesson is repeated until learnt: A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learnt it. When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson.
- Learning lessons does not end: There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive there are lessons to be learned.
- "There" is no better than "here": When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".
- Others are only mirrors of you: You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
- What you make of life is upto you: You have all the tools or resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
- Your answers lie inside you: The answers to life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
- You will forget all this.
