If you feel like pulling the covers back up or staying home today, don't worry.
You aren't alone. Friday the 13th has a way of doing that.
According to research, as many as 25 percent of the population believe Friday the 13th is a day of calamity.
The fear of Friday the 13th is known as paraskevidekatriphobia ("para-ska-vee-decka-tri-phobia"), which stems from the Greek words for fear, Friday and 13. Friday the 13th happens three times in 2012 – today, April 13 and July 13.
Having a successful career means a lot to Stephanie O'Dea.
But in the big picture, being a successful mom means more, especially when that family includes three children under age 10, including one with Celiac disease (gluten intolerant).
But can you have both?
How else can you explain a cookbook on the New York Times best-selling list for six weeks and national TV appearances, as well as feature stories in "Real Simple Magazine and "Woman's World?"
Don't be afraid to substitute herbs and spices
From time to time, every cook gets into a pinch when there is no pinch of cumin in the cupboard.
Before going out to buy more, see if there are other alternatives that will work just as well.
It not only saves money, but eliminates waste by using another herb or spice in a way that serves the same purpose. It could also keep you from buying a herb or spice you will only use once.
I reckon time does heal old Sears & Roebuck wounds. Me and my secondhand bicycle became almost inseparable.
It sure made running to the store for Mama a whole lot faster.
Through the years that old bike had several paint jobs. Shucks, right after the war, it sported shiny chrome fenders and chain guard.
Maybe I was getting carried away by those Saturday morning cowboy movies.
Mama was no longer makin' Bill Whitesell go to the picture show with me.

If you want to celebrate the tremendous lifetime accomplishments of highly acclaimed performance artists, one of the best programs to watch is the annual Kennedy Center Honors, which was televised Dec. 22.
The Kennedy Center Honors have been awarded annually since 1978 by the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

No, the trip wasn't in the New Year's Day plans of he and his girlfriend, Ashley Boulware. However, their daughter, Telia Alani Springs, couldn't wait.
"I had the emergency flashers on all the way," he said.

To cull the list to 10 was almost impossible.
Christmas 2011 has passed, but in reflecting on the past year, it's an appropriate time to recall Mama's words from 1941. She made it a point to remind her only son that I should always be grateful, regardless of circumstances.
"Be thankful of any and all gifts under the tree," she said.
That's as true now as it was then, especially after I showed my selfish streak on that Christmas Day 70 years ago.
Christmastime is always special at 618 Morris Road.
It's the time of year when Harris and Marcene Plyler bring their Victorian-style home to life with boughs of holly and berries.
These natural decorations enhance both the Plyler home and yard.
Beth Craig of the Leaf and Petal Garden Club passes by the Plyler home often and especially enjoys seeing it during the Christmas holidays.
With the holiday season now fading, those colorful poinsettias will be doing the same thing in the upcoming months.
The most popular Christmas plant in America, millions of poinsettias are given and received as gifts each year.
But is it possible to keep it alive and going until Christmas 2012?
According to the Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service, poinsettias can be maintained if you're up for a challenge.
A simple food suited for paper plates and disposable utensils has once again become the rage in trendy, high-end restaurants.
Sliders – small, three-bite burgers – have two personalties, said David Gerard Hogan, a professor of American history at Heidelberg College in Ohio.
According to Hogan, author of "Selling 'em by the Sack: White Castle and the Creation of American Food," sliders have become a "bifurcated" food, enjoyed by both the upscale and working class.

Homemade cookies can make a lasting impression.
According to a recent survey, 40 percent of consumers plan to spend less this year on holiday gifts. Holiday baking is a great way to tighten your budget without shrinking your gift list.

We are well aware that things have changed. With airline security now ramped up, this year's Christmas dinner will be different.
There will be no jars of Duke's Mayonnaise or pickled okra.

For some, the notion of buying Christmas gifts for pets is unthinkable – a yard dog is a yard dog, they say, worthy of an occasional sow's ear (maybe). Cats find their own amusement, so why waste money?
But with 78.2 million pet dogs in the United States, according to a national pet survey, owned by 45 million American households and 86.4 million cats in 38 million homes, it's no surprise many think otherwise.

If you'd rather not spend money on Valentine's Day gifts and you'd like to go the DIY route, you can make sweet and crafty heartfelt goodies using eco-friendly supplies or by repurposing stuff you already have around the house. Besides which, the weather is cold, gloomy and snowy, so now is the perfect time to hunker down with your kids and get crafty. We found six eco-friendly Valentine's Day crafts you can do with your kids or for your kids from festive decorations to cards fit for passing around the classroom -- take your pick and spread the love!
Fabric Valentine's Day Heart Garland
A string of cheery hearts will brighten your home and delight your kids. Graphic and textile designer Jessica Jones of How About Orange created this Valentine's Day garland using stiffened fabric. Before you make these folded fabric hearts, look through your fabric stash or consider using old clothes, choosing festive colors of red, pink and lavender of course!
Heart Paper Pockets
What a sweet way to say "Will you be my Valentine!" These Heart Paper Pockets created by Makes and Takes founder Marie LeBaron for Craftzine are easy enough to make for a whole classroom of kids. Look for appropriately colored scrap papers, old Valentines or magazine pages to make the paper hearts. Then you simply punch holes along the border and string yarn through the holes. When finished your child can put a sweet organic candy or a little love note inside.
Scratch Valentine Cards
Scratch-off stuff is tons of fun for kids and these DIY Scratch Valentines make our hearts beat with excitement — these could be the biggest hit of your kid's classroom! Little Lovely's Khali Whatley dreamed up this fun concept for Bloesem Kids. You can cut the hearts out from scrap paper or old cards you have lying around as long as there is a blank spot on them so you can write a message that will soon become secret. Next, you paint on a mixture of paint and dishwashing liquid to cover the words. Later, the Valentine recipient can use a coin to scratch and reveal any professions of love!
Heartfelt Memory Game
From the crafty genius over at Scrumdilly-do!, this Heart-shaped Memory Game is fun to make and play with your kids this Valentine's Day. Start by cutting hearts from a cereal box and then cover them with pretty scrap papers you have lying around the house or in the recycle bin. The best part is this game will live on long after V-Day!
Button Heart Craft
If your box of spare buttons is overflowing and you have an eager toddler or preschooler ready for fun, this Valentine Heart Craft from Pink and Green Mama is just the project for you. Cut a heart from a cardboard box and let your little one go to town painting or coloring it in a festive color or colors. Then give her free reign with your buttons and some eco-friendly glue. And there you have it: One of the easiest Valentine's Day decorations around.
Heart Gift Bag
If you love crafting sans kids too and can sew, here's a project that you can make for your kids instead of with them. Susan Philips posted a tutorial for this handmade goodie bag on Momtastic. Create the bag using eco felt, stitch your child's name or initial on the front, and fill it will sweet organic candy or homemade cookies.

Hey! Have you visited us on tumblr?
Here is the latest playlist, compliments of SELF magazine. Enjoy!
How do you stay committed to physical training? Share your tips with us!
Triathlete Sarah Haskins spends five hours a day training as she prepares for the 2012 Olympics. Her attention is focused on strengthening her core. "If your core isn't stable, your form will fall apart, and it can even lead to injury," she explains. The first step to becoming an Olympian is to develop your strength–having fun is also important. For starters, try working on your push-up. Consistent training and correct alignment can get your the results you want.
Getting ready for surgery may bring anxiety for all sorts of reasons. The process may even seem more stressful to those who like working out and think that the surgery will take that privilege away. This is not always the case. What one needs to do is consult with the surgeon in charge to get specific instructions. As a preparation, read this article that explains several types of injury and the appropriate recommendations for working out (or not).
Good luck!

Not only do we skip weight training for cardio but even when we do decide to lift weights, we ignore our back muscles. These are as important as your core muscles and protect you from injuries. Here are a few great exercises from Men's Fitness Magazine. They are great for both sexes!
My trainer, Swann Cardot, taught me something very important today: Don't hold on to things, habits, or ideas that don't work for you. Leave them behind and pick up something new. Holding on to exercises or habits that don't work for you only stalls your progress.
If the rain is keeping you inside the gym, here are a few good tips that will help you maximize the effects of your work out. Remember that you can achieve both cardiovascular and muscle strengthening on the treadmill.
Are you an athlete? Even if not competing professionally, how can you know that your enthusiasm for a sport can lead you to results? Use the method of visualization and you will soon be amazed with your results. This, by the way, applies to everyone, even those who are just contemplating changing their lifestyle and incorporating a light form of exercise to their daily routine.

Films in Fashion – 2016 – Bollywood edition
It is that time of the year that we look back on the past year to see who made an impact on fashion, who set trends and who aced it in terms of costumes in movies in Bollywood. From fabulously styled to chameleon character looks transforming the actors, this year Bollywood dabbled in both regional and contemporary themes with its costumes within movies. From looking fab to getting down and dirty, the hindi movies explored it all in a range of movies. While there were many like Neerja and Dangal where the costume meshed so well with the character that you hardly notice it (the best thing a costume designer Read the rest of this entry »

Steps taken to curb overfishing around the world may be beginning to show results. Writing in the journal Science, an international consortium of researchers reports that a two-year study of major fisheries indicates that the practices may be having some effect, with five of the ten large marine ecosystems that they examined showing some improvements.
"The encouraging result is that exploitation rate – the ultimate driver of depletion and collapse – is decreasing in half of the ten systems we examined in detail," said Boris Worm, one of the authors of the report. "Across all regions we are still seeing a troubling trend of increasing stock collapse. But this paper shows that our oceans are not a lost cause." We'll talk with Worm about the group's findings.

|central processing unit
|computing dictionary
<computer architecture, processor> (CPU, processor) The part of a computer which controls all the other parts. Designs vary widely but the CPU generally consists of the control unit, the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), registers, temporary buffers and various other logic.
The control unit fetches instructions from memory and decodes them to produce signals which control the other parts of the computer. These signals cause it to transfer data between memory and ALU or to activate peripherals to perform input or output.
Various types of memory, including cache, RAM and ROM, are often considered to be part of the CPU, particularly in modern microprocessors where a single integrated circuit may contain one or more processors as well as any or all of the above types of memory. The CPU, and any of these components that are in separate chips, are usually all located on the same printed circuit board, known as the motherboard. This in turn is located in the system unit (sometimes incorrectly referred to as the "CPU").
A parallel computer has several CPUs which may share other resources such as memory and peripherals.
The term "processor" has to some extent replaced "CPU", though RAM and ROM are not logically part of the processor.

HowTo:Get Featured
This article is part of Uncyclopedia's HowTo series.
See more HowTos
Has your article been featured? No? Good, now listen up. Or should that be read up? Whatever; getting your acticle featured on the front page isn't actually that hard. If someone can write a page about, um..... Denise Milani's breasts for example, that proves that most users on Uncyclopedia are 99.7% straight males, 0.1% women, 0.1% gay and 0.1% frightening genderless lumps.
Picking a subject[edit]
Now think of a good subject. No, not that, that's rubbish, we don't need another article on Chuck Norris or Jesus. Come back when you've thought of something good. Maybe ask your mum for ideas. Just come back in ten minutes. Actually, better make it a couple of days.
5 minutes later[edit]
That was quick. Ok, don't tell me what you're writing about because I may or will steal. Let's go then.
How long will it take to get featured[edit]
Nobody knows how long it will take. Your page may never be featured, maybe because it's just stupid and not funny. Or maybe because the people reading it have a stick up their ass or even worse a sword.
The easy way[edit]
The easiest way to get featured is to track down an admin and threaten to kill their family. Or if they hate their family, as is the case with ChiefjusticeDS, you could have sex with them instead. If they don't feature your article then it's probably because you're crap in bed. Alternatively you could follow this simple method.
The hard way[edit]
I'm going put this in a way you can understand. Take your subject, research it (God forbid go to Wikipedia), see if someone's already done it. Then after reading their attempt and laughing your head off, go and blank the page like a arrogant 12 year old. People like you will end up destroying this lovely website. The administrators will have lots of work to do when you are done ruining it with your shit writing.
After you've finshed it, ask someone who can write better than you to look at it and help make it good. Then when your article is featured take all the credit for yourself and fuck the other guy. They may be a bit pissed off with you and get all 4chan on your ass. 4chan is full of peolpe just waiting to hack you and find out who you are like they did to that "cat in the bin" lady. Overkill, I say. Some call it progress.
What wouldn't get it featured[edit]
Now if you don't put any of these in you article you're sure to get that shiny template that no one will care about. First, DO NOT put pictures edited using MS paint unless you're really good. And when I say really good I don't mean Picasso good, I mean that it should actually look like something that exists. That one on the right is good isn't it? It took me all day to do. What do you mean it's rubbish?it's met to be rubbish. Never ever go into a list if your going to do a list put it in the 100 worst no likes lists look at the call of duty stuff starts off funny then goes into a list with one liners.

A Football Analogy for Shifting Your Perspective
March 2012 Update: Congrats to Peyton Manning for signing with the Broncos. Glad to have you on my "hometown" team.
I had a chance to watch an interview with Peyton Manning on NFL Today yesterday morning. James Brown asked him about his rehab progress. Peyton made some great comments that sparked my interest. I'll paraphrase below.
He said that he's always had pre-season goals and post-season goals. Now he has rehab goals. Also, he mentioned that he needs to be patient with getting better and not look too far ahead to predict the future of his career.
There are many times in our careers where something happens that throws us for a loop. In Peyton Manning's case, he sustained several neck injuries that have taken him out of the game for 12 weeks. Prior to that, I'm sure he had set goals on how many games the team would win, yards he would throw, and touchdowns he would help make. Now circumstances have caused him to throw those goals out the window. Instead of focusing on goals related to winning, he has had to shift his perspective to focus on getting and staying healthy.

Singer Alicia Keys met with women with HIV at a Washington, D.C. health center on Monday to discuss the stigma and fear associated with the disease as part of her latest charity initiative.
Keys is working with the Kaiser Family Foundation on its Empowered campaign, which launched last month to educate women about HIV.
The Grammy Award-winning singer met with women being treated for HIV at the United Medical Center in the U.S. capital, and insisted she felt connected to the patients because "they looked like they could be my sister, or they could be my aunt, or they could be my cousin."
The singer is also leading the foundation's Empowered Community Grants initiative, which hands out grants of up to $25,000 to community-level projects focusing on women and HIV in association with the AIDS United organisation.

Hey Mike,
So my wideband stopped working last year shortly before I blew up my motor...The new motor has been running great by the way, so I can't thank you enough for that. Anyway, I've started tuning again, now that we're settled into our new house and I have some free time, I installed a new sensor and harness for my wideband gauge. I've noticed numerous changes to the software...mainly that the MAP sensor data that's logged no longer reads in absolute pressure, but only above atmospheric, which is fine, however the boost fuel maps seem like they may have the same data, but the horizontal axis only defines boost, starting from atmospheric pressure. Is this correct, or has the data in the table been shifted to correctly place the fuel numbers in the correct column? It seems like since I've started flashing the ECU again, I've run into very persistent knock, and lean conditions under boost initially, and then VERY rich conditions as I hit max boost at around 10 psi. I can't compare to my old tunes, because when I load them, they all start from 0 kpa, where it used to have a few columns for vacuum pressure, and some old tunes for my stock ECU, don't show boost fuel tables at all...so i'm having trouble remembering if the numbers in the boost fuel tables are correct for those particular columns, but I feel like the data stayed the same but the axes changed, and that's where i'm running into trouble...does that make sense? I have a new MAF sensor, and EGR valve on order, and a new knock sensor on-hand just in case.
Another thing I noticed was that under fuel scalars the injector size was reading 488 cc/min, with a maf size of 114mm, where it used to be 418 cc and around 64mm respectively...I changed it back, and it idled very rough, so I put it back to where it was, I found this rather strange, so I figured i'd drop you a line...thanks

Rarely do I read a nonfiction book and wish the author would write more. Not necessarily more about the topic, just MORE because they are such an entertaining writer. This book is definitely one of them.
Detroit News Finance Editor, and creator of the Funny Money blog, Brian O'Connor uses wit and self-deprecating humor to turn a book about personal finance into a fun read. And not just basic personal finance, but "how to survive when times get really tough" budgeting.
"The $1,000 Challenge: How One Family Slashed Its Budget Without Moving Under a Bridge or Living on Government Cheese" started as a proposal from O'Connor to the editors at the Detroit News. In 2009, as the economy in Michigan was tanking, O'Connor proposed a series of weekly articles on how to save $100 a week, and he offered to use his own family budget as the source for the story.
Budgeting is not a new concept, but O'Connor approached it with humor and honesty. He started where every budget program does, by taking a serious look at how his family actually spent money. I'm not sure he was really shocked at where their money was going, but to lay it out for all of the world to see had to be a bit nerve-wracking. He broke their budget for the former year down into categories and focused on the 10 that cost them the most each month, intent on saving $100 in each category. He took on a new category each week, and at the end of the week wrote about his successes or failures in his newspaper column, which he turned into this book.
In the book he also approaches each category on three levels – based on the three types of people he thought might need or want a book on budgeting: 1) "People who need to free up cash" so that they can increase their savings in case something bad happens, 2) "People who are having a hard time making ends meet" from pay check to pay check and 3) People who are "pinching pennies so hard that Lincoln is getting a headache."
Seeing how O'Connor tackled each category in his own family's budget, especially the challenges he encountered, turned what could have been a painfully dry subjects into a pretty fun read full of good information.

Use, Management of Devils River Outlined in Collaborative Report
AUSTIN – The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission was briefed today on recommended steps to provide public access to the Devils River in Val Verde County, while preserving the river's precious natural and cultural resources and protecting adjacent landowners' privacy.
The report by the Devils River Working Group, chartered last year after the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acquired the roughly 18,000-acre Devils River Ranch, identified conservation challenges and issues of concern among river users and riverside landowners, and how they might be addressed to satisfy various stakeholders. Represented on the 25-member stakeholder group were landowners along the river, the paddling community, angling community and TPWD staff.
Working group chair Scott Boruff, TPWD's deputy director of operations, provided the commission with an overview of the efforts to arrive at a consensus and how the group worked through specific issues during four meetings last year to come up with the 20-page report. He said the meetings allowed different perspectives to be voiced and resulted in "an increased understanding among the private landowners, conservationists and recreational users."
Boruff said that while the report provides requested feedback to TPWD regarding protection of the Devils River and surrounding environments, the group believes its recommendations may be useful in the TPWD's preparation of the General Management Plan due in September that will guide future use of the Devils River State Natural Area complex.
The complex includes the newly acquired ranchland and the existing 20,000-acre state natural area 13 miles upriver. TPWD will manage the two-unit complex, already protected by conservation easements, connected by the Devils River located in the wild, remote reaches of Val Verde County.
Included in the DRWG's 12 recommendations to Texas Parks and Wildlife were:
- The appointment of a successor group to coordinate ongoing discussion regarding the protection of the Devils River's natural and cultural resources, preservation of a wilderness experience and minimization of land fragmentation.
- The creation of a comprehensive Devils River Use Management Plan that should ensure the long-term sustainability of resources; protection of private property and public access rights; natural biodiversity-based aquatic and terrestrial habitat management; recreational management; and increased river-wide law enforcement oversight.
- Development of a permit system that educates and prepares Devils River users and encourages safe and responsible river behavior.
- Creation of a coordinated outreach and education campaign informing the public of appropriate river etiquette and legal issues regarding recreational use that might include such things as uniform signage and mandatory orientation for state park visitors intending to use the river.
- Reviewing all avenues to enhance law enforcement presence on the area's rivers. (TPWD has eight game wardens assigned to Val Verde County and a full-time state park police officer at the Devils River SNA complex. Other law enforcement entities with a presence include the Val Verde Sheriff's Office, National Park Service, Department of Public Safety, U.S. Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.)
- Development of a River Patrol Program utilizing volunteers to help monitor river use and river health.

Youngest Schindler's List survivor dies
WHITTIER, California (AP) — Leon Leyson, who was the youngest of 1,100 Jews saved from the Nazis by Oskar Schindler, has died in California at 83.
His daughter, Stacy Wilfong, tells the Los Angeles Times that Leyson died Saturday from lymphoma.
Leyson was nearly 10 when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. He lost two brothers during the Holocaust but was protected by Schindler and at 13 worked in his factory. Dubbed "Little Leyson," he was so short that he stood on a box to operate machinery.
He later moved to the U.S. and taught for 39 years.
Leyson rarely spoke of his experiences until the 1993 movie Schindler's List sparked renewed interest. He then embarked on a public speaking career to share his story.

Uncertainty about state funding has made a tough budget season for the Board of Education even more difficult.
At a past meeting, the school board discussed reports that the Educational Cost Sharing (ECS) funds that Connecticut schools depend on each year could be reduced by about $33,000. In addition to that, state funding that helps the board deal with transportation costs may be reduced by about $65,000.
The current proposed budget from the state's Appropriations Committee had other cuts that could impact the general government side of the town budget by over $350,000.
While the BOE was concerned about the reports, Chairman Brian Goralski said the state was still a long way from finalizing its budget.
"It's still a big question mark right now," Goralski said. "When it comes to the state budget, what we see in the end is usually not what we see in the beginning."
Suspense about state funding is not a new predicament for the town. Southington's budget is always finalized by May, while negotiations at the state level can drag on until early autumn. Expected revenue from the state is part of the town's budget process but the final numbers are still in question even when the Town Council votes to adopt it and the Board of Finance votes to set the mill rate.
"By our charter, the town has to set the budget relatively soon," said BOE member David Derynoski. "If that's done and then some revenue dries up, that's going to be a problem."
The Board of Finance has already recommended a $1.1 million reduction for the school board's proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which imperils the planned introduction of an all-day kindergarten program. The Town Council will make the final decision about whether to restore some amount of the reductions or accept the BOF's recommendation later this month.
Goralski said the BOE would need to keep two questions in mind if the funds were not restored – "What would happen to the school district without all-day kindergarten?" and "What would need to be cut in order to keep all-day kindergarten?"
The district's administrators are still evaluating their options.
"Everything is on the table, although we hope there will be some restoration," said Superintendent Dr. Joseph Erardi.

text: peterstepon 14 Posted January 22, 2013 I am trying to make a guesstimate of the number of Deathwatch marines there are in the Jericho reach fighting along side the Achilus Crusade. Here are some numbers I have put toghether. Any input from the developers or other gamers to help fill some numbers would be appreciated. watch station arkhas: can house a dozen (12) battle brothers, Core book indicates 1 astropath in residence, a pair of deathwatch surfs, and a dozen tech priests. watch station midael: 1 lone battle brother watch station Oertha: 20 battle brothers along with 50 Storm Wardens watch station Skapula: unattended Thunders World: Can transport a "handfull" of battle brothers Watch Fortress Erioch: 10 members of the Chamber of Vigilance, 3 personalities in the core rulebook, 3 Dreadnoughts, 9 personalities in Rites of War, 4 outlined in Game masters Kit. Has suggested that once there has been as many as 200 marines on Eroich but mostly feels empty. Suggested 26 mentioned plus 3 dreadnoughts According to Achilus Assault, "dozens" of battle brothers have been recruited directly from the assault's allied chapters suggesting a major recruiting drive. Dozens over 40 years still suggests only about 1 or 2 a year making deathwatch secondment relatively rare, even during a major crusade. Watch station Androbicus: can support dozens of kill teams watch station phaedas: can support 10 astartes 6 personalities outlined in Jericho reach book. 4 members of the dead Cabal. The literature suggests that Deathwatch are pretty rare and it would seem to me about 50 to 100 operate in the Jericho Reach at any given time, if even. However, they are an efficient fighting force and are able to do a great deal with few members. The literature suggests that they are capable of amassing forces for major engagements such as the 50 marines involved in the scouring of Herisor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact that the sonic landscape has increasingly changed for the worse in Soundgarden�s absence makes �King Animal,� the band�s first foray in the studio in 16 years, sound better than it really is.
That�s not to say �King Animal� is lousy. Far from it. It�s just not the mind-altering, life-affirming, earth-shattering sonic epiphany one would have hoped and wished for from one of Seattle�s seminal �grunge� bands.
Soundgarden � singer Chris Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron � sounds as heavy, trippy, unorthodox and unexpected as ever. All the crowning Soundgarden elements are there (Cornell�s hypnotic and hellish cries, Thayil�s innovative and crazed guitar playing, Shepherd�s locomotive bass lines and Cameron�s clanky drums and offbeat time signatures), and they still sound brutal and rough-around-the-edges.
Unfortunately, it often sounds like Cornell is playing with the other guys from Soundgarden rather than a fully realized Soundgarden at full, nuclear meltdown power capacity.
�King Animal� is often more of a meditative slow-burn than an all-out blitzkrieg. Instead of �Superunknown,� the listener gets the super, oh-so-familiar (and, sometimes, Cornell solo-sounding filler). Then again, you don�t unleash Spam from its �rusty cage� and expect to find filet mignon lurking inside every time.
Cornell returns to his old stomping grounds just to find out that his musical tastes are now considered strange (and he�s considered to be a little stranger) on the aptly titled opening track and leadoff single, �Been Away Too Long.� On this doom-laden diatribe about how time waits for no one and no one gives a flying leap who you are or once were, Cornell laments, �No one knows me/No one saves me/No one loves or hate me.� For those of you worried that one of Seattle�s premiere grunge bands might have gotten soft over the years, Cornell and company unleash their primal rage (aka, there �special kind of falling apart�) on this stinging loner�s tale/anti-wanderlust opus. Truth be told, Soundgarden is catching up for lost time and they are not going down without a fight.
Soundgarden sings for the 99 percent on the anti-state of the union/full-throttle protest song, �Non-State Actor.� Singing for the country�s disenfranchised masses, Cornell threatens, �We�re not elected/But we will speak/We�re not the chosen/But we believe/And we settle for a little bit more than everything.� Although half the time you�re not sure what they are rebelling against, Soundgarden�s dual guitar assault and earth-stomping drums are things that any rock lover can rally behind.
Cornell sets out to win your heart (and, if he has to flatten everything in his path to do it, so be it) on �By Crooked Steps.� Proving he�s a romantic softy, Cornell croons, �I�m a walking believer/I�m a ghost and a healer/I�m the shape of the hole/Inside your heart.� Who wouldn�t want Cornell as their personal heart murmur? Then, Cornell reveals a little too much in the lines, �I�m a soldier for hire/Killing all you admire/And you live in denial/But that will change.� Committed to the material (while sounding like he should be committed to an asylum), Cornell�s wailing, multi-tracked vocals accompanied by a combustible mix of crunchy guitars and pulverizing drums makes courtship sound like a sonic search and destroy mission.
Humanity meets its bloody and aptly poetic end on the dreary, apocalyptical ditty, �Blood on the Valley Floor.� As if his disembodied vocals are hovering over a once majestic landscape that now serves as a readymade mass grave, Cornell chillingly croons, �Once we were the end/The end of the long road/Leading to the start/Of the ever invading crowds/And the smoke lies on the valley floor/And the blood dries while we spill.� While Cornell commiserates about humanity�s shortsightedness and inevitable downfall, murky guitars gasp and gurgle as if they are spitting humanity�s last breath.
It�s hard to decide if Cornell is too much of a mother hen or should seriously think about checking himself into the loony bin after hearing his bizarre socio-commentary on the hardships of bird parents raising their chicks, �Bones of Birds.� Not only is it bad enough that your have to build a home out or twigs and branches, you have to worry about junior falling out of the nest and drowning to death. And let�s not get Cornell started about breakfast. Unless Cornell plans to sing this song in the old turkey suit that Paul Simon wore on �Saturday Night Live� in the �70s, I don�t get it. People have been tarred and feathered for fewer atrocities than the ones committed in this song. Think about that next time you plan to write in the viewpoint of a bird.
Who said romance is dead and buried, rotting away in a shallow grave and being ripped apart by a pack of wild dogs? Not Cornell. Case in point, the homicidal Hallmark �Black Saturday,� in which the grunge crooner makes his lover to promise that she�ll kill him right away, if he forgets how to separate the �worm from the apple� (which I believe is a metaphor for life; then again, I would skip the homemade apple cobbler at the Cornell household). While nothing says amour more than your lover carrying out your murder, Cornell continues, �Don�t be afraid. I would do the same for you.� Well, that�s reassuring. His intimate and sparse musings are revealed alongside acoustic guitar strums before developing into a confident, full-body rocker about sacrifices and rebirth.
Talk about your dead-end job. On the existential working song �Rowing,� Cornell has oarsman�s duty on what sounds like a ferry set adrift on the River Styx. Putting his heart, soul, sweat and muscle behind his endless paddling through the sonic sludge that has become his hellish existence, Cornell croons the unnerving mantra, �Don�t know where I�m going/I just keep on rowing/I just keep on pulling/Gotta row/Moving is breathing/And breathing is life/Stopping is dying/You�ll be all right.� Let�s hope we can say the same about Soundgarden.

Sienna Miller recently walked the red carpet (which yes, is really more aubergine) at the premiere of her new flick American Sniper in NYC wearing a saucy, partially transparent Balenciaga dress paired with beautiful, white Balenciaga Ankle Strap Sandals. These sandals are nowhere to be found online, and we suspect they're actually from next season. While we all wait for these to hit virtual storefronts with bated breath, you can shop a broad selection of all thingsBalenciaga at Barneys.
When any celeb wears head-to-toe Balenciaga, we pay attention, but it's especially nice to see Sienna Miller back in the spotlight. While she's forever bound to late aughts' fashion in our hearts and minds, it's great to see her doing something daring and different on reddish carpets once again. She's taken some time off to have babies and reevaluate many of her life choices re: her early fame (I'm not kidding, Google it), and her supporting role in American Sniperrepresents something of a career reboot.

The chaos of chairs
We apparently have multi-storey living arrangements a far lot easier than the average Swiss person in that we have our own washing machine and therefore escape the dreaded laundry room timetable. Friends on much higher salaries than ours are unable to go out on Monday nights because it is when their allotted two hours are given to use the washer and dryers. The judges' decision is final and no further correspondence will be entered into, such is the difficulty in trying to nab a Saturday afternoon slot. Someone has to die and have their next-of-kin tracked down, bribed and shagged to have any chance of being able to change the time you have been given. (While we were in Spain, our house and dog-sitter said the highlight for her was being able to wash her clothes when she felt like it - such small pleasures)
For those of us with washing machines, life is relatively carefree as long as we don't use them before 8 am or after 9 pm and never on Sundays. The Sunday restriction is regularly flouted by me - surely it's OK to do something other than stay utterly still and silent from, say, 10 am to 4 pm? Doesn't that allow sufficient time for a sleep in or pre-work wind down? So far, no neighbour to the left, right, up or below has taken offence at my rest day rejection.
With our dog now fully embraced by our concierge, The Fratman, and able to leap into the lift doors and accompany elderly couples to their floor (and back down to me) with joy and safety, we figure that the block is pretty used to the noisy Australians who like to yell 'Tea is READY' instead of walk the fifteen metre dog leg to the bedroom area.
However, there is a big booger still dangling from the symbolic nostril that is upper-level etiquette: our balcony.
When it rains, the water simply gathers into small pools, eventually turning into one rather shallow swimming area when they join up. The drain may be set in the far corner but the undulating slope of the tiles means that it rarely gets wet. Instead, the water is eventually dried up by the sun or soaked up by my ugg boots; whatever happens first.
Unfortunately, it is not just worn woollen footwear and solar power that is removing the water - it is also seeping through the balcony and starting to stain the ceiling and upper walls of the apartment directly below us. The neighbours (to be referred to as the Seventh Floor Fusspots from hereon) are understandably annoyed by this and have asked the land agent to contact the owner of our apartment to fix the problem.
With Swiss efficiency meaning that the plumber rings to apologise if he's going to be ten minutes late, I assumed that the balcony repair work would be relatively easy.
But no. In the past eight weeks, I've had no less than ten separate visits of men arriving with clipboards to
a) have a smoke and fling the butt over the edge of the flower boxes down into the garden that no human is allowed to enter;
b) point to the drainage hole and hold some intense discussions about it;
c) jump up and down on the tiles; and
d) tell me 'We fix. Later. Fratman will call you.'
TEN TIMES. Unless they somehow scrape off a thick layer of cement and slope the entire balcony surface towards the drain or knock the entire edifice off and build a new one from scratch, it is not clear what quick job they can do to prevent the Seventh Floor Fusspots from continuing to complain. Put in a blue pool liner perhaps?
Mrs Fusspot has usually been friendly to me whenever we've crossed paths by the mailboxes or in the lift, but the frustration of no action and her presumably still-ugly brown-stained walls are starting to fester beyond annoyance at the owner and towards the renter. Me, in other words.
Witnessing her pretending not to see me as she struggled into the four person lift with myself as the only other person present was a little too much, so I applied my cheery 'Hello' that often gets unfriendly dog walkers to respond when we pass by every single day.
She grunted. I tried again. "Look, I'm sorry that there seems to be no improvement on the balcony for you. I've had ten lots of men come up to look at it, but not one of them has returned to do anything. Is there anything I can do to help it happen quicker for you?"
"Yes," she hissed, causing me to step back a little in surprise. Even her drop pearl earrings were swinging erratically. "You can stop scraping your chairs on the floor."
"Oh, sorry. We have those felt dot things on the bottom of the legs---"
"It's NOT ENOUGH. You scrape them all the time and we need you to stop."
We had arrived at her floor and she swept out to my, "Sure, I'll speak to my family about it...."
Arriving back upstairs, I realised that our six dining chairs are all on carpet. An IKEA job that has soaked up a few of Milly's left-inside-too-long butt nuggets, an infinity of dropped bread crumbs and more spilled wine than what had remained in the glasses they were originally poured into. The rug now had several extra layers that not only prevented the chairs from scraping, but also provided recording studio-quality sound-proofing and a large, aromatic area for the dog to ram her nose into for a lick and a sniff if the kitchen floor is too clean.
It was hard not to laugh. If this complex was in Australia (say, Flemington), housing this many people it would be a madhouse of noise. Two hundred residents would mean that simple Aussie-related maths would see at least two out-of-control parties, several domestic incidents, a visit from the ambos, stolen wheelie bins, hard rubbish put out seven months too early, hills hoists pulled over, cars being keyed and Eminem on level eleven during work hours. And we'd be pretty accepting of all that....
I saw The Chair Scraping Shrew again the following day. "Good morning Mrs Fusspot. We've had a think about what you told us and realise that it's not us who are scraping the floors. It must be people on either side or on the ninth floor, as we have carpet under our chairs."
She stopped unlocking her mailbox and gave me a skeptical look. "No, you are wrong, it is you. You have chairs in your kitchen."
"No, we don't, actually. Our kitchen has a fixed bench in it and no chairs."
The fact that I dared to question her statement and profess knowledge of my own kitchen still did not convince her. She shook her head. "I think you are mistaken. Your kitchen chairs scrape all day."
All day....? When I'm home, I'm usually in the study - with a different apartment underneath me - blobbed out in a rollerball office chair and never on the dining setting. I felt my mouth form into the universal sign of increased annoyance - the cat's arse pucker. "Look, Mrs Fusspot, you're more than welcome to come on up and see for yourself."
"That won't be necessary. All you need to do is stop the scraping."
It was then that I decided forget about visiting the bootmaker's in Petit Saconnex. Not because he doesn't do a good job in re-heeling my beloved black boots, but because I was going to ask him to apply a layer of special rubbery stuff that would stop the 'clop clop clop' sound of my brand new boots (black again, of course) when I walked across the parquetry floor boards not covered by rugs.
Sod her. Milly's nails can get longer AND the double spin cycle will be selected on Sunday.

The woman clearly has "isshues". She has obviously never lived in a flat with a bowling alley in the flat above. She obviously does not know the joy that comes from having marine flares lit by neighbours any time between sunset and sunup Mon to Sun, and needs to hear a good domestic between feral "grown-ups", the decibel level of which cannot even be topped by police sirens.
She needs a life. You need a washing machine that spins so violently it dances across the floor.
- Kath Lockett said...
Thank you for your support, FruitCake. She's apparently been living there for over ten years but had previously 'enjoyed' having an elderly widower as her ceiling neighbour....
- Plastic Mancunian said...
Bonjour Kath,
It's bad enough living in a terraced house with two neighbours, but an apartment with neighbours at the top and bottom as well ...
And I can't believe there are slots for use of the washing machines etc. in some places.
I think I would probably invite Mrs Fusspot up for coffee - just to prove it wasn't me making the chairs shriek across the floor.
She probably still won't believe you though.
- Kath Lockett said...
'Some places' for washing slots = ALL places if you're not allowed to have a washing machine in your apartment, PlasMan. A friend decided to get a plumber to install some fittings so that she could have a washing machine in the guest bathroom and then got sent a 'fine' for doing so!
Mrs Fusspot wouldn't be seen dead in my apartment. She can barely tolerate me in my unshowered state, wearing a worn out old coat and ready to take Milly off for a walk....
- River said...
Is Mrs Fusspot hearing the chairs on you balcony perhaps?
I can't believe "they" are taking so long to fix the drainage up there. Don't they realise the damage water can do to the lower flat? in any case the water shouldn't be seeping at all, regardless of where the drain is. It's possible the tiles have been laid without correct waterproofing underneath them, or perhaps the balcony has waterproofing but the tiles were laid over the original surface and are now too high thus negating the waterproofing. I'm not sure I'm making myself clear. Are all the balconies tiled?
- Kath Lockett said...
The balcony chairs are rarely moved and we haven't been eating dinner outside for months and months and month.
'They' are indeed being slack, River, and you'd think that the delay in getting the problem sorted would leave the owner of our apartment with even more expense if the Fusspots decide to pursue them for increased damage and delay... *sigh*
- Isabella Golightly said...
Have you considered shoving a polaroid through the letterbox? She sounds like a real cow!
- Kath Lockett said...
Tempting, Ms Golightly, very tempting...
Then again, she did deign to say a brief 'hello' to me in the lift this morning...
- Ellena said...
I can hear noises from an empty apartment above and couphing from the left and click click of an excercise machine from 2 walls away on my right. Makes me happy to know that some neighbours are still alive.
And, it happened twice now, when lying in bed late at night trying to fall asleep I heard an earthquake approaching prior to feeling the shaking of the building. Yes, really. I live on ground floor.
- Kath Lockett said...
Ellena, I agree that normal sounds of life are part-and-parcel of apartment living. Scraping chairs (as long as not done at 3am non-stop) are just background musak.
- Anji said...
She does sound nasty.
I once unblocked the drain of a flooded balcony forgetting that there were people in the street below. Fortunately I missed them.
- wilbo43 said...
I would have thought by now this 'Don't do aything on Sunday' thing would have been disgarded. I remember in 1970 when we were living in Switzerland, out of suitcases, one Sunday we took the opporunity to use the empty laundy of the building to do our washing. All went well until, Diane hung out the washing on the line, then all hell broke loose. We were on the road for an aperitive when we casually mentioned it to my parents. My poor Mum nearly had a fit. No, No, you can't do that! Not on a Sunday. Dad, she insisted, turn around, we must go home and remove the clothing.
So nothing's changed. Funny, that!
- diane b said...
Oh the joys of apartment living. One reason that we never joined the hoards of fellow retires swapping an empty nest house for a smaller apartment. Most of them have returned to houses.
I was flabbergasted when I lived with Bill's parents in Thun and I discovered that she only washed once a month due to the timetable. That was a bit difficult when we only had a suitcase full of clothes. So I decided to wash on Sunday as the timetable was free then. Little did I know about the no wash on Sunday rule. Bill has told you the rest of the story.. That was in 1970,I can't believe they still have that old system.
- mm said...
Does Milly push her dog dish around in the kitchen?
- Fenstar de Luxe said...
ha ha get some tap shoes, that should fix the problem. Well, she won't complain about scraping chairs!
My ex lived in the rabbit warren in Flemington and boy were those flats noisy.
- Kath Lockett said...
...and it would have been hilarious if you hadn't missed, Anji, plus you could duck inside and they wouldn't be able to figure out which apartment to find you in!
Wilbo43, luckily now there aren't any shared clotheslines (just dryers) and we're not allowed to hang anything on the balcony, so my flouting of the 'No use of washing machines on Sunday' is hidden inside. Well, not 'hidden' exactly as it's all hanging from doorknobs and draped over dining chairs!
Dianeb, I don't think I'd want to be a retiree in an Australian innercity apartment either. Far far too noisy and no little terrier for a concierge to set your complaints to rights.
mm, nope, even Milly can't be blamed as her dish is on the doormat (inside, so wet feet from the balcony don't mess up the floor) and wedged into the corner so that it doesn't move. See, I'm a PERFECT tenant!
Fernstar, tap shoes could be a good idea, but my black boots already do a good 'clack' when I 'forget' to take them off by the front door. :)
- Ann ODyne said...
balcony needs plastic to keep rain off it, instead of the floor of it being realigned.
Fussy woman is transferring angst onto you from some other bad part of her life. Is there a Mr Fussy? Offer him wine. That'll give her Le Pip. Main thing - do not stress yourself about this.
I love your description of typical flats life, and fruitys too.
My street has TWO drummers in different houses.
Bon chance.
- Kath Lockett said...
Mr Fussy is seen very, very rarely but has always been nice to me. Perhaps I'll try and turn on the charm a bit next time I see him....
- Alexia said...
Hmmm - maybe a regiment of rats lives in the floor space between your floor and her ceiling??
I don't think I'd adapt well to apartment living :(
It sounds like you are indeed the perfect tenant!
- Pandora Behr said...
So lucky to live where I do with the neighbours that I have... But you've done well to adapt to apartment living. Sounds like she has nothing to complain about really.
- Optimistic Existentialist said...
She sounds like she just might be an unhappy person in general to be honest and if it weren't the chair it would have been something else...
- Kath Lockett said...
No space for rats, Alexia. And the Swiss are too clean for such things to occu...
- Kath Lockett said...
She wouldn't know a real problem if it scraped itself on her actual head, Pandora!
Maybe that's the reason why I should invite her up for a drink, OpEx?
- Andrew said...
I read this and wanted to comment but I had to go to work and now I don't know what to say. A neighbour of ours' balcony was leaking into the apartment below. It ended up at VCAT, you explain what VCAT is, and it cost the neighbour around $18000, for what was a construction defect, but too late to claim. Apparently while the body corporate thinks it can tell you what you can and can't have on your balcony, ultimately it is your responsibility. Bodies corporate work on a lot of bluff. If it is your property and on your title, you can do with it as you wish, as you could in a house.
- Kath Lockett said...
But it's NOT our property, Andrew, we are only the renters. If it was, we'd have had the balcony fixed properly months and months ago.
I think the owner (of ours) is being very, very tardy.....
- ashleigh said...
Understand the noise thing on her part - I dislike noisy neighbours.
We were away a while ago, and the place we staying in had people upstairs (not too muck clacking, thankfully).
But the constant sound of drawer runners.... Gzzzhht! Gzzzhhhtt! For hours and hours. Most odd. And TV's coming through - gee some people must have their TV up load for it to go through 4 inches of concrete.
Makes me happy to be back home, mind you, earplugs at night makes for a good nights sleep.
So I can sort of see where she is coming from re the noise, but it is probably somewhere else. Concrete, if not designed for kill noise, conducts things like scrapes a long way.
Place we stayed in London was concrete, we had people above, below and alongside and never heard a peek from them. That place was obviously built properly.
As for the balcony - prepare thyself for a week of hell. To do the job right, the tiles need to come off, then the concrete needs to be cut back and skimmed to get a proper fall, then re-tiling.
All possible, will cost the landlord a lot of money, and will make dust, noise and hell for you for about a week.
Mrs Fusspot will probably grumble about the noise from that too, and ask that you stop it.
- Kath Lockett said...
Ashleigh, you'd honestly be surprised at just how deathly silent this building is - even friends who visit (and live in other apartment complexes) are amazed by it.
And no drawer runners or clacking or scraping from us - at least not after 10pm. And yes, there's even a policy here on how loud your television is allowed to be!
- ashleigh said...
It does seem just a fraction over the top.
And as for banning washing on Sundays, that's just downright silly. Perhaps there's some vestige of the old religious no-work-on-Sunday thing going on.
I assume you know about the ultra-orthodox Jews who can't work on the Sabbath. That includes pressing the buttons in lifts - hence on the Sabbath they just stop automatically and open the doors on every floor.... or so the story goes.
At least its not like that. But there do seem to ba lot of rather petty rules.
- Clyde said...
Hello Kath Lockett..... I think you are facing a problem of water leakage at your Balcony.It's better consult Leaking Balcony Repairs to solve your problem.
