Fourth Dimension
Michael Chabon's Fourth Work Of Fiction Both Disturbs And Delights.
By Randall Holdridge
Werewolves in Their Youth, by Michael Chabon (Random House). Cloth, $22.95.
WHEN FACED WITH difficult family relations, the protagonists in Michael Chabon's new stories, man and boy alike, harden their hearts or draw into their shells. But vulnerability in these male carapaces, a softness in their hearts, yields compassion at moments of crisis. Usually they pay a high cost in self-sacrifice, but they're rewarded by transfiguring new esteem.
Werewolves in Their Youth is Chabon's fourth book of fiction, and his second of short stories. To delight cynics, Chabon retains the elegantly phrased drolleries which are the signature of his style. They drop suddenly on the reader, as when Harris Fetko, a football player, is called home by his father, a domineering old coach who bullied him in his youth: "A feeling of remorse took wing in his chest, but with an old, sure instinct, he caught it and neatly twisted its neck."
"The Harris Fetko Story" is representative of Chabon's concerns in this collection. Harris is a star athlete--unfortunately for him, his celebrity figures in a failing venture, an indoor football league with franchises in Tacoma, Boise, Saskatoon, Spokane and Great Falls. His father, the legendary Norm Harris, once coached at Denver. Norm is a dreamer, and Harris is one of his projects, the result of an unsuccessful marriage to a woman selected for her genetic potential to breed a superstar. Raised under his father's unrelenting doctrines, Harris "was used from long habit to thinking of his body as having a certain monetary value or as capable of being translated, mysteriously, into money, and if it were somehow possible, he would have paid a high sum to purchase himself."
The old coach's now forgotten name can't sustain his failing auto dealership. His hope lies in a greater vision, received in a dream, of a new professional sport called Powerball and played "by men in garish uniforms that were part samurai armor and part costume de ballet...swinging across the playing arena from a striped rappelling cable." Norm needs Harris as a headline name for the launch of a Powerball league, but father and son haven't spoken for years.
Harris is wary when invited to the ritual circumcision of an infant half-brother, spawn of his father's recent second marriage. Against his better judgment, Harris attends the bris at the ramshackle auto lot. To prevent a repeat of his own harried youth, he tucks the bundled infant under his arm and sprints across the lot into the adjacent woods, stumbling onto the demonstration Powerball arena his father has carved among the trees, crudely, childishly, with "misapplied love and erroneous hopefulness." Harris is "troubled by an unexpected spasm of forgiveness" and the doomed reconciliation is sealed.
A similar dynamic shadows the marriages depicted in Werewolves. In "Mrs. Box," Chabon telescopes the history of one couple succinctly: "There had been an extramarital kiss, entrepreneurial disaster, a miscarried baby, sexual malaise, and then very soon they had been forced to confront the failure of an expedition for which they had set out remarkably ill-equipped, like a couple of trans-Arctic travelers, who through lack of preparation find themselves stranded and forced to eat their dogs."
In "House Hunting," the collapsing two-year marriage of Daniel and Christy is saved when they have their first moment of real sexual passion in the master bedroom of a house they're touring with a seedy Realtor, whose own marriage has broken up in the same house. Ironically, they had always viewed sex as perilous, while marriage was "a safe house in a world of danger."
Then there is Kohn, the solitary guitar maker in "Spikes," who's summoned by his exhausted lawyer: "If he once again failed to show, his lawyer regretted she would have to toss his file into a bottom drawer, send him a bill, and forget about him. His wife, and her lawyer, would then be free to reap uncontested the rewards of his recalcitrance." So Kohn sets out for his appointment, but stops in the driveway to talk with Bengt, a solitary neighbor boy conspicuously wearing his elderly uncle's ancient, outsized baseball shoes. Pudgy, clumsy, bespectacled, the boy is waiting for a ride to much-dreaded Little League tryouts. Kohn sympathizes, and in solidarity drives the boy to practice, where he witnesses the boy's anticipated humiliation. The other kids "were skinny, mean-looking boys, scratch hitters and spikers of second basemen, dirt players, brushback artists...Standing with the other boys Bengt reminded Kohn of the leather button used in his family for many years to replace the shoe in Monopoly, ranged at Go alongside the race car, the top hat, and the scrappy little dog." Kohn stays on to give what support he can to hapless Bengt, missing the appointment with his lawyer. The title story is another picture of the awkward world of misfit boys.
Two of the stories in the book are offbeat treatments of contemporary hot-button issues. In "Son of the Wolfman," a woman unable to conceive a child after 10 years of married life is impregnated in an assault by a serial rapist. She decides to have the baby, against the wishes of her husband, who is crushed by the blooming changes he observes in his wife. And "Green's Book" imagines a divorced father's frightened moment when his 4-year-old daughter wants him to join her in the bath tub, just as coincidence reunites him after many years with a now robustly sexual and ubiquitously pierced young woman, Ruby. Ruby was also age 4 when, as her 13-year-old baby-sitter, Green touched her unformed breasts. His dilemma is made all the more ripe by the fact that Green is a psychologist writing a book on child-rearing, the precepts of which, if followed, would force him to confront his most disturbing memory.
Although Werewolves is padded by a pedestrian horror story among certain other less-successful selection, the whole of its stories is imaginative, various, witty and consistently reassuring that there is something fundamentally decent about men.

Known only as She, we never learn the woman's beliefs, or why she plans to detonate herself in Times Square. But the tight, and at times humorous film just keeps picking up festival awards, so far winning a highly prestigious Independent Sprit Award at the 2007 ceremony in LA as well as nods from the Cannes and Chicago film festivals. Julia Loktev answers our audience's challenging questions about her enigmatic film in a very lively Q&A session, hosted by The Fabulous Picture Show presenter Amanda Palmer. Alpha Dog Bruce Willis and Emile Hirsch inAlpha DogBased on a true story, Alpha Dog immerses itself in the seedy side of Southern California, when a drug-debt kidnap turns into murder. Johnny Truelove (played by Emile Hirsch), is Alpha Dog's version of Jesse James Hollywood, the 20-year-old drug-dealer who made notoriety in August 2000 when he became the youngest person ever to feature on the FBI's most wanted list for the murder of 15-year old Nicholas Markowitz. The film, which also stars Justin Timberlake in his debut role, began shooting even before Hollywood was finally captured in Brazil in 2005. In an attempt to assist in his arrest, the FBI gave director Nick Cassavetes unprecedented access to otherwise classified documents.

- Rikon 25-200 Jointer/Planer Combo Machine
- Brand: Rikon | Category: Planers
I bought this in 2014 and have now used it enough (and procrastinated enough) that it's time to do a review. It's a long one because when I was shopping for this there were no reviews anywhere and now I'm in the same boat with no reviews of table saws I'm looking at so I decided I needed to pay it forward and do my part by doing a detailed review. Hopefully someone finds it useful.
In making this purchase I looked at a number of alternatives. I looked at 10" combo machines decided against them because of poor reviews (of the Jet) and less durable design than the 12" models. I wanted something that would last and that I wouldn't want to replace within a few years. I considered the Jet, Grizzly and Baileigh machines. All were all more expensive. The Rikon was $1750 Canadian and next closest was Baileigh at $1750 US plus $400 for delivery. So, basically, I purchased the Rikon by default. It was a 12" combo machine in the price range and I could pick it up at the store myself. There were few online reviews so I relied heavily on a positive review from Fine Woodworking. Rikon has now upgraded its machine to the 50-210 and they have actually addressed a number of the issues I have. The lighting isn't great in my garage so the pictures are a bit lacking.
Machine summary:
12" jointer/planer combination machine
3hp, 220 v
3 HSS knives
Jointer bed length is 49"
Fence is 6" by 43"
Packing was solid and assembly very easy. There wasn't really much to do.
Fit and finish/quality of tool
I'd say the fit and finish are good. Not great. The washer for the bolt to tighten the in-feed table is bent. The plastic caps on the end of the fence fall off and the end of the fence scrapes on the in-feed table and has left scratches on it (see picture). When it arrived bolts holding the planer table hand wheel were loose. The milling of the cast iron is a bit rough. These are cosmetic issues and not a big deal and don't impact functionality at all.
The fence is a bit finicky to set to 90 degrees but once done it stays put. It stays true when moving the fence forward and back and along the length of the fence. The adjustments for the fence are four set screws on the bottom of the base that attaches to the table and four set screws where the fence attaches to the fence rod. If you need to adjust the fence I recommend only using the screws on the fence and also playing with the angle adjuster first as that may be sufficient. Tightening the fence will move it very slightly so you have to take that into account when setting up. I never use the 45 degree angle so can't say anything about it or the stops. I set it and 90 and never change it. The fence is mounted on a cast iron rod for sliding back and forth. I see they have redesigned the fence on the new model. On mine there isn't a lot of room for the locking handles for fence movement and fence angles so they can be hard to turn and the parts can get in the way. A minor annoyance.
My fence is flat across its width but does have a small bow along its length. It is out by about .04" along its 43" length. It does the job and while I'm sure some people would be concerned with it I don't think it needs to be perfect. Squareness to the table is what matters and I get square results. The fence has minimal play in it. Less than 1/8" at the infeed table with moderate to strong pressure. Half that at the outfeed end. There's no need to put that kind of pressure against the fence so I doubt it flexes much in actual use.
My tables are flat. They were coplanar on delivery to within 0.005" which is acceptable to me. The tolerance of the Veritas straight edge I used for checking this is 0.003". The tables have not shifted at all over time and remain as good as they were the day I got it. The jointer tables are ribbed. I don't know if they still make them like this. Supposedly it helps make for smoother running of boards across a ribbed surface rather than flat and avoids an apparent "suction" that occurs with a flat bed but I don't buy it. I think this is gimmicky nonsense. I don't really like the ribbed table although it doesn't impact performance at all. It makes it a bit more annoying to check flatness and coplanarness (possibly not a word…) since a straight edge isn't sitting on a flat surface. The top of the "ribs" is the only reference surface. It also can be a bit annoying for setting knives or checking tables because you have to make sure you're referencing properly on the top of the ribs. Nothing major. The ribs are a bit more than an 1/8th inch apart so in theory a reference 1/4" wide could be balancing on one rib and not be sitting flat. Here's a closeup showing the ribbed table with a combo square for reference:
Raising and lowering the infeed table is very smooth and locks very securely (although the locking bolt washer is bent).
The planer table is a relatively rough finish but it works fine. It takes a lot of turns on the crank to move the table up (40 turns from bottom to top) which is a bit annoying because you have to have it all the way down for jointer mode but the mechanism is very positive and solid. It can be moved up and down in very small amounts with no backlash. There are roller bars for the outfeed side of the planer that were perfectly set out of the box.
Changeover time
In my opinion this is an overrated measure of the quality and usefulness of a combo machine. It takes probably 30 seconds. Having a combo rather than separate machines means you have to plan your work differently and shouldn't be going back and forth a bunch. You can't mill a board at a time. You joint everything and then you plane everything. Saving a minute or two here and there doesn't seem like a big enough deal to choose a machine on. In my opinion people (and woodworking magazines) sometimes make way too big a deal out of changeover time. Only the outfeed table is raised during changeover. When lowered back down it goes perfectly into place, holds its coplanar position and locks very tight. Planer mode leaves the infeed table in place which can get in the way when taking short stock out of the planer. I think this is changed on the new models so that both tables raise up. You can see in this picture how little room there is but it's a minor nuisance only.
This has the European style blade guard on it. I've only used another jointer with the "porkchop" style guard a few times so I don't really know the difference. I don't have any issues with the European style.
I generally get great results. Very little snipe. Most boards come out with a very nice surface as long as the dust collection is on. If not the chips will fall into the blades and board you're planing and cause lots of tear out. I discovered this by accident when my hose fell off. I usually take small cuts but it can easily do heavier cuts. I do get tear out on difficult wood like curly maple but recently did some hard maple and cherry that came out with a very nice finish that I just did a quick sand on to clean up. Dust collection is good. There will be some chips on the planer bed after jointing but not much. Most is taken up with my 1.5 hp dust collector. The motor on this is plenty powerful. I can easily take off 1/16" off of an 10 inch wide board without issue and have taken up to 1/8" (max capacity cut) but I usually take smaller passes to avoid tear out. I've milled using nearly the full blade width without bogging the motor down. When I mill a board it is flat and consistent. Using a dial caliper I will typically have a flat board with consistent thickness to +/- 0.003".
Blades and cutter head
Blades are hard to set because there are springs but no set screws. Set screws would have made this so much easier and would have been a minor thing to include. I find it hard to use some jigs because the cutterhead often moves while tightening screws. It's hard to hold or wedge the cutterhead securely in place. I think they include set screws on newer machines so it would be much easier. It also came with a knife setting jig that I find to be useless and for which no instructions were provided.
I did have an issue with a knife lockbar. One of the screws stripped in place and lockbar and knife were stuck in the cutterhead. I had to cut the screw off to get the lockbar out. Rikon was great though and sent me three new ones in a week (only needed one).
One problem here is that the blades are a bit shorter than width of cutterhead but must be installed slightly closer to one side of the cutterhead rather than exactly centered. This is because if they are perfectly centered or closer to the front of the machine they are too close to the dust chute at the front of the machine and will hit the edge of it. I learned this the hard way and now have a chip out of the corner of one blade. This is possibly unique to my machine and an issue with the placement of my dust chute but definitely something to watch for.
The manual is terrible.. I really appreciate toolmakers who put time into creating good manuals that explain assembly, operation and maintenance. This one looks to have been written by someone in the same factory where it was built which means it is at times in broken English. For example, instead of instructions on loosening bolts and "raising" the motor for changing tension on the belt we get instructed to "increase" the motor. No explanation is provided for adjusting jointer tables, planer tables, feed rollers, tensioning belts, replacing belts, etc. All of this is now in the new manual so I've printed it out.
Customer service
I'm very happy with Rikon's customer service. I called with a few questions and the lockbar issue and they were great and very responsive. Also called about the fence and was told that the bow was more than they'd like to see but they didn't think it would impact performance and to try it for a while and get back to them if it was an issue. It isn't. 5/5 for customer service.
There are a few issues with this machine but they are minor. It's a great machine, especially for the price. I love having 12" inches of jointer capacity and have used the extra width many times. I would definitely recommend it with the caveat that, at least at the time I bought it, it was the lowest priced 12" combo machine so you have to manage expectations. It is not going to be perfect. The attention to fine detail is not bad but a bit lacking in minor respects. You can pay double the price of this for a 12" combo machine if you want perfection. This does the job well and will do so for a long time. I'm very happy with it. I would have done 4.5 stars if that was an option.
Based on looking at the new models I think they've addressed a number of the issues I have so I think the new model is probably a great machine and would maybe get a 5/5 from me.
Sorry for the novel! (But hey, if you weren't interested you should have stopped reading a while ago…) Questions or comments welcome.

Thanks for the review. I was just looking at the Rikon a couple of weeks ago. It was a 10" and had a helical head with carbide inserts on display. Looks like a nice machine and the least expensive combo machine out there. It made my "want" list get longer. Your review reinforced that feeling. Like you, I would like to go to the 12" machine.

Thanks for taking the time to write up a thorough review.
I have a good source for very inexpensive low grade rough cut green hardwood cants, which I resaw and then store for a year in the barn loft or my basement lumber racks… but they often twist quite a bit on me.
In order to straightening these out without loosing most of the thickness, I have to go back and forth between planer and jointer… and often the workbench for hand plane work. Something I've had to consider when looking at combo machines.

One thing to mention is that when you see ridges like that on the face of cast iron, it's not a rough finish. It generally means that the top was planed rather than ground, which is actually a much preferred method so even though they may have said it reduced suction and calling it a gimmick, I would be happier to see it like that. One of my vintage planers has the ridges like that. That's how it was done in the "good old days".

I didn't know this so thanks for the explanation. I actually had wondered how they got a ribbed surface. Also, I could have been more clear. It was the planer table I was talking about having a rough finish (not that I think it matters that much). I guess I also could have mentioned that the planer table is not ribbed like the jointer table.

The Choc-o-pocalypse
The world's leading chocolate companies are warning that global chocolate production may be unable to keep pace with demand, potentially leading to worldwide chocolate shortages by 2020. Last year, the world consumed about 70,000 metric tons more chocolate than it produced. By 2020, that figure could reach 1 million metric tons. Producers have kept up with demand by draining stockpiles and stretching chocolate using fillers. But declining production as a result of disease, climate change, and political and social instability combined with increased demand from emerging economies and the fact that it takes up to 10 years before a cocoa tree begins to yield sizable output, could result in dramatic shortfalls.

California [USA], October 8 (ANI): Instagram has added a new feature that is aimed at tackling phishing attacks carried out through social media platforms.
The new feature helps users to find out if an email was sent by Instagram or is an attempted phishing scam.
As The Verge notes, the Instagram app will list every email the company has officially sent a user over the last 14 days.
To check if an email is genuine, a user has to head to the Emails section from the Instagram option in the app's security settings. The update is being gradually rolled out to all users. (ANI)

Over on my StickyFigure blog, I've been maintaining a series called Five in the Morning…wherein, each weekday (well, almost), I try to share 5 interesting posts from around the blogosphere.
But recently, I was "tagged" by Ann Handley (a favorite fellow blogger) to share 5 things about myself that you probably don't know. There's a lot more than 5 things that you don't know or don't want to know, but here are a few tidbits just so Ann won't be able to nag or call me uncooperative!
1. I was going to be an astronomer. Or so I thought, until I took physics and calculus my freshman year in college. There ended my budding career intentions in high science (but I did once own a telescope in high school, and I hope to again, if we ever move to a non-light-polluted part of the country!)
2. My wife and I have a secret romantic little beach spot where you can actually see the sun set…over the Atlantic! Anyone know where it is??
3. One of my distant relatives appears on old editions of the U.S. $2 dollar bill.
4. I once ran my dorm janitor (write-in candidate) for Vanderbilt's student body president. He got 36 votes. I don't think he ever knew he was in contention.
5. Turns out I did one of these "5 things" memes a couple years back. So here's a few more obscurities from behind the curtain!

Ubicación Long Branch, United States of America
Distancia Maratón
Rescheduled to 15 nov. 2020
Previous date: 25 abr. 2020
The New Jersey Marathon is one of the most spectacular urban runs in the United States. The course runs alongside the oceanfront with the finish line located at the Long Branch Ocean Promenade located on the Jersey Shore. Even better, for those who have not been to Jersey, 13 miles of the trail runs right through the commercial district and downtown neighborhoods close to Monmouth Beach, allowing you to get a view of the entire city on foot.
A mostly scenic run, it is also famous for the cast of characters who can typically be spotted racing alongside the crowd. "Larry the Lighthouse" is just one among many sites to see, as he makes his way to the finish line with a cardboard lighthouse perched atop his shoulders. A mainly flat course, for those who have aspirations of making it to the Boston Marathon, this is the perfect qualifier to realize your running dreams. Not to discount the hilly conditions, it is challenging enough for even the most seasoned athletes to enjoy.
Amateurs and elite athletes alike can participate as onlookers cheer them on. The good nature of the Jersians is what makes this race so spectacular. From Oceanport to Long Branch to Branch, racers get to see first hand the amazing city come alive just for them.
Oceanport at Monmouth Park
Long Branch,us
Long Branch Ocean Promenade
Long Branch,us
The New Jersey Marathon course travels through seven distinct neighborhoods, including, North Long Branch, Monmouth Beach, Downtown Broadway, West End and Elberon. The race also goes through four business districts. The course is fast and flat with only one minor elevation change of 28 feet (8.5 m) at around mile eight. The course offers ten miles (16 km) of oceanfront views and over 30,000 spectators.
The race starts and ends on Ocean Ave. in the Pier Village neighborhood of Long Branch. After the start, the runners proceed north on Ocean Ave. to Atlantic Ave. where they turn west. They then turn north on West St. then east on Columbia Ave. and then north on Riverdale Ave. where they enter Monmouth Beach. After a short portion of the course in Monmouth Beach is completed, the runners cross the Patten Ave. bridge going south and back into the city of Long Branch. The runners then head east on Atlantic Ave. until they reach Long Branch Ave. where they head south again. At Broadway, the runners go west to Third Ave. where they continue south until Franklin Ave. where they head east. At Second Ave., the runners continue southbound to Brighton Avenue where they head east back onto Ocean Ave. On Ocean Ave., they continue south to Lincoln Avenue, the southernmost street in Long Branch. Here they head west and go around Lincoln Square and then back east on Lincoln Avenue to Elberon Avenue where they head north once again. Elberon Ave. ends at Lake Takanassee at which point the runners go east on South Lake Drive back to Ocean Ave. The runners then continue north on Ocean Avenue.

The big winners of the 2012 WWE Slammy Awards won't be announced until the show tonight but WWE.com has already announced a few of the winners on their website.
Bleacher Report notes that the 2012 WWE Slammy Awards will return tonight during Monday Night Raw. Wrestling fans will have to wait until the show tonight to see who won the Superstar of the Year, Newcomer of the Year and the "Tell me I did NOT just see that" award but you can see the winners for Upset of the Year, Diva of the Year, and Betrayal of the year awards below.
This year's winners include Jerry the King Lawler, The Big Show, and, of course, Charlie Sheen.
Sheen won the Top Social Media Ambassador Award. The former star of Two and a Half Men was hired as Wrestling's social media ambassador for the 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw on July 23. Sheen spent most of the night ridiculing Daniel Bryan which led many to believe that there could be a SummerSlam showdown between the two.
Sheen said: "There's a reason I'm drinking a shake. Because I'm going to shake this fool (Daniel Bryan) so hard that his fake beard is going to fall off and you're going to see "losing" written on his baby cheeks. Tell Daniel I'm not hard find. Next time he's in LA I'll be happy to meet him. In the ring, at my house. Whatever, I'm not hiding."
Sheen never stepped into the ring but he did create a lot of buzz for the WWE. Which, of course, is why he won the Social Media Ambassador Award.
Here are the other 2012 Slammy Award winners courtesy of WWE.com.
Upset of the Year: Daniel Bryan defeats Mark Henry and Big Show at Royal Rumble
WWE.com Exclusive Video of the Year: Jerry "The King" Lawler speaks to WWE.com about his miraculous return.
Betrayal of the Year: Big Show knocks out John Cena at WWE Over the Limit
Insult of the Year: John Cena to Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero: "You're the exact opposite. One enjoys eating a lot of nuts and the other is still trying to find his."
Top Social Media Ambassador: Charlie Sheen
Feat of Strength of the Year: Sheamus delivers White Noise to Big Show
Diva of the Year: AJ Lee
Crowd Chant of the Year: "Feed Me More!"
Facial Hair of the Year: Daniel Bryan
Tweet of the Year: "Goat face is a horrible insult. My face is practically perfect in every way. In fact, from now on I demand to be called Beautiful Bryan." – Daniel Bryan
Best Dancer of the Year: Brodus Clay
Are you going to watch Monday Night Raw tonight to see the rest of the WWE Slammy Awards?

I miss looking up and being able to look at the stars since moving here. Where I lived before in RI wasn't the best for stargazing, not really, but at my parents house it was decent enough to see a sky full of stars. I could identify a few easily enough because I would look up at them enough growing up, having enough fascination with them to even learn their names. Here it's totally different and twice as difficult and it's kind of sad.
There is at least one relief from that, thankfully, the air and space museum! I feel like I rely heavily on the Smithsonian since I've moved, going there every other week. One of the recent meets was actually to the that same museum and we saw one of their shows about space and dark matter and it was just so cool to sit in that huge room and stare up and see all those stars again. The meet was really fun and the people who came were fun to be with too.
The night sky revolves around this little guy, not at the handle tip but at the bottom corner of the ladle looking part that is further from the handle, that is the brightest star in the night sky. For centuries, people of many different cultures all around the world have identified it as so but have called it by many names and have used it for guidance. I find it the best guidance navigating the stars.

Four Powerful Questions to Enhance Your Customer's Retail Experience
Mystery shopping is a brilliant tool for auditing customer experience as it happens. There are over half a million mystery shopping trips carried out every year in the United Kingdom (according to the Mystery Shopping Professionals Association).
Retailers are becoming increasingly aware that shoppers who visit physical stores demand an experience they simply cannot get online, and mystery shopping can help to gain valuable insight into what is going on in your store – as well as those of your competitors.
Here are two short snapshots of customer experience selected from our recent collaboration for the Top 50 Retail Experiences 2017 with Insider Trends.
The sports shop
I begin by walking into a grand foyer. It displays lots of flashy promise. Signs, balls of all kinds and aspirational images of athletes are everywhere.
This all looks great, but where are the people to welcome me? I can't see a single human who works here. I try upstairs. Bingo! At least I think they work here. I find it hard to tell. Those advisors I do see are chatting among themselves happily.
I finally approach a friendly-faced assistant and explain that I would like to try something on. I wave a running shoe at her smiling face. She asks me the size and promptly disappears to find my number 11s. She returns with a box shortly after and sits me down quietly. No words exchanged. Leaving me to sort out the confusion of laces, she walks away.
The shoes don't suit me at all, but at least they are very springy. I look for my assistant. She has vanished. I do some lunges while I look about the shoe section to find her. Or anyone, actually. Finally, with no other option, I just leave the shoes on the floor and wander off to look at different section.
I feel that I have been here long enough to evaluate the customer experience.
The perfumers
Standing outside, I check my notes and prepare to walk in. Immediately as I enter, my eyes lock with those of a well-dressed gentleman. He gives me a couple of moments to orientate myself to the luxury surroundings and bottles of scents then he asks me how I am today.
I note that he asks me how I feel, not what I want.
I have been welcomed before any conversation moves towards the topic of their products. It is explained that this is a perfume store and I am taken on a journey of discovery that covers the company's history, ethos and story while tailoring a perfume solution to my particular needs so that I also become part of that narrative.
I am asked questions like 'Do you cook?' and 'What do you do in your free time?' This all feels like less of a presentation, and more an actual conversation that wants to get to the bottom of who I am and what they can do to help me with that.
I feel educated and part of the club. I also now smell of oak and white sage.
When it finally becomes clear that I am not going to spend money today, the advisor, with a conspiratorial wink, invites me to a special sale in two weeks and insists that I keep in touch on their mailing list.
This is all done with theatrical storytelling, and I am totally hooked.
Mystery shopping can give such immediate and powerful insight that its use is superbly suited to gauging your own customer experience effectiveness and also learning brand new powerful tricks from other retailers that you can try out yourself.
Next time you walk into any retail store, use Imparta's own measurement tools to assess the customer interactions you have. Ask yourself these following four powerful questions to see how effective the customer experience is right now.
Has customer service:
- Welcomed me?
Acknowledged me, made me feel comfortable and welcome.
Used positive language to spark interest and create excitement.
- Understood me?
Understood my communication style and adapted their style to match.
Asked me questions to find out my needs and wants.
- Guided me?
Inspired and educated me about the product.
Understood my buying criteria and made recommendations matched to them.
- Made it easy for me?
Made me feel good about my choice of product.
Tried to gain commitment and overcome my objections.
These were just two of the many customer experience journeys that our team enjoyed while mystery shopping and working with Insider Trends on the Top 50 Retail Experiences. Try it out yourself – and be sure to let us know what you think about how the industry is succeeding today.

Don't bother checking his phone messages to find out what he's been up to- your man's probably glued in front of the television all this while! Yes, we're talking about the World Cup. Taking place from 12 June – 13 July 2014, the much-hyped tournament sees ladies suddenly "widowed" from their partner's absence. So here are 6 ways to get him out of the house, or even a chance to rope in a girlfriend for that much needed catchup sesh.
1. A Miraculous Transformation
You're battling for his attention, so a mere dye job or change in hairstyle will not be enough to steer him away from the TV screen. What you need to capture his fancy with is a showstopping transformation in the form of a Qi Mantra Miracle Facial treatment that uses stem cells and Variable Pulse Light (VPL) to firm up and soften skin.
The 90-minute non-invasive treatment, $350, includes a luxurious stem cell lifting mask, containing plant-based placental extract to stimulate the production of collagen and plump skin for a youthful complexion.
Available at #03-19 Wheelock Place, 501 Orchard Road. Tel: 6737 3463. Opening hours: Mondays – Sundays, 10.30am – 10pm.
2. A Worldly Cuisine
Sate his international frenzy at MELT – The World Café, that offers a buffet spread of cuisine around the globe.
Located at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore, take him out for a one-day-only Father's Day promotion on 15 June. Enjoy a glorious spread of fresh seafood and gourmet pastas at the Champagne Brunch, priced at $128+ per person. Or for a feast that will fill him through the night matches (3 will be taking place later on!), try the Barbeque Dinner at $88+ per person.
Better yet if he samples the cuisine of his favourite World Cup team- allowing you to score a conversation while enjoying precious quality time away from the telly!
Mandarin Oriental, Singapore. 5 Raffles Avenue, Marina Square. Tel: 6885 3500.
3. Wear His Team Colours at a Fashion Party
You may not sit through those arduous matches with him, but you can show your support by wearing his team's colours. Wearto.com's 2nd anniversary party at Outpost Bar & Bistro is the perfect opportunity to wear his colours with pride. The first 150 party-goers will receive party bags filled with deals and merchandise sponsored from brands like Spa Espirit and Browhaus.
Plus, with the fashion retailer's launch of edgy bag brand, GLUSH from Hong Kong, you can take home a piece of the soccer pitch in the brand's line of quirky, AstroTurf-lined bags!
Party on 22 June 2014, 12 – 6pm. Outpost Bar & Bistro, 3 Sentosa Gateway, St. James Power Station #01-11. Tel: 9069 1109.
4. Catch Euro Fever
If you can't beat them, join them! The French may have won the World Cup back in 1998, but if there's another thing they totally get right, it's their artisan pastries and baked creations! Bécasse has launched its full format dining concept with classic European and French inspired dishes, giving diners a wider selection of culinary treats apart from its in-house prepared pastries.
Bécasse (Dempsey Hill), Block 10, Dempsey Road #01-21. Tel: 6479 8119. Opening hours: Daily, 10am – 10pm.
5. Faking A Good Night's Rest
Staying up for a late-night soccer match with your partner can give you a dull, sallow complexion the next day. So feign your beauty sleep with a selection of BB and CC Creams from Sephora.
From 10 – 31 July, enjoy a 10% discount on selected products from: Boscia, PureHeal, Tarte, Sephora's house brand, Peter Thomas Roth, and Kate Somerville. On top of that, White Card members get another 5% off.
2 Orchard Turn #01-05/06, ION Orchard. Tel: 6509 8255.
6. Visit A Pop- Up Restaurant
What better way to soak up the festivities of the World Cup than to spend an evening in a pop-up restaurant, held at a historic landmark which was once the crossroads of travellers all across the globe?
My Private Chef introduces its first leg of pop-up dining, Stories, held at the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. At $188 – $248 per ticket, enjoy a fresh interpretation of local cuisine by Chef Stephan Zoisl, who has worked in Michelin starred restaurants around Austria, Portugal and the United States of America (coincidentally teams of the tournament!)
22 – 26 June 2014. Tickets can be purchased on http://www.myprivatechef.com.sg. Advanced reservations can be made at email@example.com.

|Telescopus (1)
A highly distinctive species, the Arabian cat snake possesses a large head relative to its body, with striking reddish brown or greenish-grey eyes, with vertical pupils giving it a viper-like appearance (2) (3). The body is reddish-grey or reddish-brown, with individuals exhibiting variable degrees of pale, banded markings. A set of venomous fangs are located towards the rear of the upper jaw (2).
A nocturnal species, the Arabian cat snake is an active and agile hunter, capable of climbing trees and rock faces to find prey such as fledglings, lizards, rodents and bats (3). During hunting, this species relies on stealth to sneak up on prey before striking and delivering its venom, and it is also known to enter small cracks in rock faces to take sleeping diurnal lizard species. Despite being a venomous, the Arabian cat snake is not aggressive, and unlikely to present a danger to humans (2).
The Arabian cat snake is widespread within the Arabian Peninsula (2) and North Africa, occurring as far south as Kenya and Tanzania (4).
The Arabian cat snake occupies hills and mountains in arid and semi-arid regions, but appears to be absent from open desert (3)
This species has yet to be classified by the IUCN.
Although it is apparently rare in some locations, such as the United Arab Emirates (3), there are no known significant threats to the Arabian cat snake at present.
The Arabian cat snake is known to occur in a number of protected areas within its range (5).

When evil alien Wootox is brought in for questioning, he escapes by switching bodies with Sky. Trapped in the body of a monster with a voice that can't be understood, can Sky warn the other Rangers before it's too late? Or will Wootox use the Delta Squad Megazord to destroy Newtech City?
RIC brings Sky a ball, but Sky pays him no attention as he's working. The alarms go off and the rest of the B-Squad cadets come into the command center, suit up, enter their Delta Runners and form the Delta Squad Megazord. Kat and Commander Cruger have a hologram of Wootox on display and know he is a dangerous criminal in a giant robot. The Rangers battle Wootox and have a difficult time and Commander Cruger suits up and uses the Delta Command Megazord to stop Wootox. The Rangers capture Wootox and he is brought to S. P. D. Wootox pretends to be suffocating but, even though it looks real, Sky doesn't fall for that. Then Wootox suddenly attacks Sky. Wootox has the ability to switch bodies, and does so with Sky. "Sky" suits up as the "Blue Ranger" and fights "Wootox". "Blue Ranger" also makes sure that "Wootox" cannot say anything by destroying the translator around "Wootox's" neck. "Blue Ranger" tosses "Wootox" into the cell. "Blue Ranger" demorphs back to "Sky" and starts searching S.P.D. "Sky" walks into Syd's room while she is singing and Syd demands that he leaves. "Sky" does so with a smirk on his face. Meanwhile "Wootox" desperately tries to communicate but the guard thinks that "Wootox" is simply acting up.
In the rec room, Syd tells Z about "Sky" walking into her room without permission. "Sky" walks into the rec room and Z and Syd give him a hard time. "Sky" apologizes and leaves. Later, a meeting is held in the command center with Commander Cruger and the B-Squad cadets. "Sky" isn't paying any attention as Commander Cruger tells them that Wootox had destroyed 50 planets and Commander Cruger tells them to go ahead with the judgment and containment. Meanwhile "Wootox" manages to punch the code outside his cell to free himself. The alarms go off with the announcement that "Wootox" has escaped from his cell. Jack, Syd, Z and Bridge go one way, while "Sky" goes in a different direction.
Jack is suspicious that Sky always wants to go in a different direction than them. Jack, Syd, Z and Bridge search for Wootox but they have no luck. Meanwhile, "Sky" enters the lab where Kat is working. "Sky" attacks Kat and she wonders what was going to "Sky". Then Cruger enters and see "Sky". Cruger notices that the villain isn't Sky, while "Sky" morphs. The villain reveals that he changed bodies with Sky and Cruger realize that "Sky" is Wootox. Cruger morphs into the Shadow Ranger. Cruger battles the "Blue Ranger". Then "Wootox" enters the cockpit and battles with the "Blue Ranger". The Delta Command Megazord is stopped and "Wootox" and the "Blue Ranger" continue the battle on the ground. "Wootox" gains the upper hand and causes "Blue Ranger" to demorph. Jack, Syd, Z and Bridge suddenly appear and think, once again, that Wootox is attacking Sky. Cruger arrives and stops them from attacking, telling them that there may have been a body switch. Jack comes up with an idea on how to see who is who. Jack tosses a ball out and RIC goes to fetch it. RIC initially approaches the "Blue Ranger" and then turns around and drops the ball at "Wootox's" feet. Everyone realizes that Wootox and Sky's bodies have been switched.
Sky and Wootox switch back and Rangers use the Canine Cannon to defeat Wootox. Wootox is arrested and put into a containment device. Later, Bridge walks into the rec room where Sky is playing catch with RIC. Sky explains that since RIC saved his life, he agreed to play with him until he gets tired. Bridge reminds Sky that RIC is a robot and will never get tried. Sky doesn't have a problem with it until the ball breaks something. Bridge and Sky look at each other and then take off.

The Ecto-Garbage Truck is an old junkyard garbage truck that was used in in the final battle against S.I.D.N.E.E..
Ray Stantz quickly converted a whole fleet of garbage trucks in order to trap the 723 highlander and lowlander ghosts from the Battle of Dunkeld. He used $1000 to $2000 worth of electronics equipment, including Degaussing wires. After all the ghosts were trapped, Ray instructed the villagers of Dunkeld to bury the trucks and keep the wires connected to storage batteries until the ghosts de-resolved. [1] [2]
In need of more powerful equipment to fight S.I.D.N.E.E., the Ghostbusters purchased two vehicles from Honest Irv's Wrecking Yard in November 1997. One was a garbage truck. It was converted into a very large Ghost Trap on wheels. The actual trap can be activated by controlled by a remote controller. However, during its one time of use, it had issues working. After Winston Zeddemore gave the truck a few hits, the trap activated and captured S.I.D.N.E.E. in an instant.
- On page 13 of Ghostbusters Issue #15, the remote controller makes a non-canon cameo as the trigger used to open the Traps and Megatrap.
- On page 8 of Ghostbusters 101 #6, in panel 1, the trap inside the Ultimate Mobile Trap is visually based on the trap installed on the Ecto-Garbage Truck in "Back in the Saddle, Part 2".

July 2017
Dear Brethren:
A very warm greeting once again from the Philippines, and special greetings to our
young people who are now fellowshipping at Camp Tejas. After Pentecost we all look forward
to the soon-coming fall festivals. These are God's Sabbaths that He pronounces as a sign
between Him and His people. As God's people, we are trying our best to overcome our
There is a question young people often ask themselves as they grow up in the church, and it even occurs to baptized members at times. The question goes basically like this:
Why can't I go out into the world, make mistakes, and then later repent and come back to the church?
Essentially, they want to know why they cannot enjoy some sins before repenting of them. Now
be honest—have you ever asked such a question? If so, what should the answer be?
People in this frame of mind are suffering from the prodigal-son syndrome. It is just how the prodigal son thought in Christ's parable.
Let us now look at the story in Luke 15. There may be some points you have not
considered before.
"There was once a man who had two sons. The younger one said to him,
'Father, give me my share of property now.' So the man divided his property
between his two sons. After a few days the younger son sold his part of the
property and left home with the money. He went to a country far away, where he
wasted his money in reckless living. He spent everything he had. Then a severe
famine spread over that country, and he was left without a thing. So he went to
work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him out to his farm to take
care of the pigs. He wished he could fill himself with the bean pods the pigs ate,
but no one gave him anything to eat. At last he came to his senses and said, 'All
my father's hired workers have more than they can eat, and here I am about to
starve! I will get up and go to my father and say, "Father, I have sinned against
God and against you. I am no longer fit to be called your son; treat me as one of
your hired workers." So he got up and started back to his father.
"He was still a long way from home when his father saw him; his heart was filled with pity and he ran, threw his arms around his son, and kissed him. 'Father,' the son said, 'I have sinned
against God and against you. I am no longer fit to be called your son.' But the father called to
his servants. 'Hurry!' he said. 'Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger
and shoes on his feet. Then go and get the prize calf and kill it, and let us celebrate with a feast!
For this son of mine was dead, but now he is alive; he was lost, but now he has been found.'
And so the feasting began.
"In the meantime the older son was out in the field. On his way back,
when he came close to the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one
of the servants and asked him, 'What's going on?' 'Your brother has come back
home,' the servant answered, 'and your father has killed the prize calf, because he
got him back safe and sound.' The older brother was so angry that he would not
go into the house; so his father came out and begged him to come in. But he
spoke back to his father, 'Look, all these years I have worked for you like a slave,
and I have never disobeyed your orders. What have you given me? Not even a
goat for me to have a feast with my friends! But this son of yours wasted all your
property on prostitutes, and when he comes back home, you kill the prize calf for
him!' (Luke 15:11–30, Today's English Version)
Wait a minute! Sounds like the fun-loving younger son got the better part of the deal.
Did he not get to have his cake and eat it too? Did he not get to enjoy some big mistakes, suffer
a bit for it and then return to a party given in his honor, while the obedient older brother stayed
outside sulking? Perhaps you want to be like the prodigal son. A lot of youth unknowingly
emulate him. But did the prodigal son really come out ahead in the end? What do you think?
Before we answer the question, let me tell you another story.
There was once a boy named Marito. On his thirteenth birthday, his father took him out to the backyard where there were some fine old fruit trees. There the man gave his son a new
hammer and a container of nails of all sizes. There were small finishing nails, medium sized
nails—even some large spikes. As they stood before one of the trees, the father said, "Mar, over
the next few years, every time you do something you know God does not want you to do, I want
you to come out to this tree and drive a nail into the trunk—a small nail for a small sin, and a
large nail for a large sin—and every time you correct those mistakes, asking God's forgiveness
and making amends as best as you can, pull one of the nails out," to which the boy replied,
"Sure, Dad."
Mar was true to his word. Not surprisingly, over the next few years he drove nails of all sizes into the fruit tree. He pulled some out, but for the most part, the nails and spikes were accumulating. By the spring of his junior year in high school, he noticed that the tree was not
flowering and would not produce fruit that year. The trunk of the tree was scarred, full of rusty
nails. As a result, sap was running down the trunk, and insects had infested the bark around the
damaged areas. The tree had fewer leaves than the others, and it looked like it might not survive
the next winter.
Of course, Marito had long understood that the tree was a metaphor for his life and
character. So he became determined that he would reverse his direction in a number of areas.
As he turned from wrong choices—choices that made him disobey God—he pulled more and
more nails out of the tree. Finally, on the day of his graduation from high school, he called his
father into the backyard and with the same hammer he had been given, he pulled out yet another
big, rusty spike from the tree's trunk.
"Dad," he said, "I did what you told me. I drove the nails in, but I have also been able
to pull some out. Lots of them." His father replied, "Marito, you did well to set a different
course and to be able to pull out so many nails. I am really proud of you. But look at the trunk
of the tree. Scars remain even from the nails that are no longer there. There will be many years
in healing, and some damage will always remain in the wood." Marito understood.
The point is this. You can drive all kinds of nails into the tree of your personal life, and
then turn and try to pull them out in repentance as best as you can with God's help. And it is
very important to remember that upon true repentance, God will forgive you and begin the
healing process. Indeed, you can always look back to your heavenly Father. Sooner or later you
must, or you will forever be lost. But the scars in your life made by the nails and spikes you
have driven in will remain even after turning away from those sins. Healing can take many,
many years. In some ways, you can never get back to where you were physically before the
mistakes were made.
You see, what you do affects you—it changes you. Indeed, some choices affect your
whole life—whether for good or for ill. That is why it is always best to choose what God says
you need to do in the first place, for all His choices are good choices.
And that takes us back to the prodigal son. I did not quite finish the parable. Let us read
the last two verses as the father talked to the son who remained at home:
'My son,' the father answered, 'you are always here with me, and anything I have
is yours. But we had to celebrate and be happy because your brother was dead,
but now he is alive; he was lost, but now he has been found' " (vv. 31–32).
Notice that the father told the older brother, "Everything I have is yours." The younger
brother's inheritance was gone, and his life was irrevocably changed. There was no second
division of what remained. No flock, no property—nothing. In those days he probably would
have had to work for his older brother. And he would have had to live with the scars from his
experiences while in the foreign land. What you do changes you and your life—whether for
your harm or for your good.
Those who suffer from prodigal-son syndrome make a second mistake as well. They
assume that what God has in store for us, physically, is not really the abundant life He promises.
But in reality, the instruction God gives in His Word is a great blessing.
Peter and the other apostles were once asked by those who came to realize the enormity
of their own guilt in breaking God's Law: "Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Peter replied:
"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:37–38, New King James Version).
Our Father in heaven has made it possible for us to be fully forgiven and cleansed of the guilt
of our past "mistakes." And this cleansing begins a journey of abundant life that will last
through the end of our days in the human flesh, leading ultimately to God's Kingdom. God
gives us not only a change of life, but also a change of mind that begins a process of inward
transformation. In fact, He is forming Jesus' own character within us.
Our Father in heaven wants to bring us to immortality as children in His Family. When
His firstborn, Jesus, said, "I am the Way," He was not kidding. Indeed, Jesus is the only way
to life. If you do choose another way for a while, you might find your way back—but there is
no guarantee, for many fall by the wayside. And sadly, when some finally do return to God's
way of life, they may by that time qualify as "federal disaster areas." But letting God design
your life and character from the beginning yields continual blessings.
So choose God's way—abundant physical life today, glorified spiritual life forevermore!
Let God design and build you even from your youth.

1My husband is a curate at an Episcopal church. As part of his job, he was looking through a pre-marital counseling article which advised couples to be wary of "fairy-tale syndrome." Trials and tribulations will come and test the merits of the marriage. Trials like... the wife having a weird laugh.
Excuse me while I laugh/ cry hysterically.
OK, can you think of anything less helpful for an engaged couple? If your wife's "weird laugh" is threatening the marriage, you need to reconsider life in general. God forbid you have a real crisis, or even the flu.
News events have been on my mind, and on everyone's mind, constantly. Between ISIS (or is it just ISI now?), Ferguson, US/Mexico border issues, Ebola, the Ukraine, Gaza - what else am I missing, folks? - I've started avoiding the news most days. I guess this is wrong, and I do check on Iraq updates and send up prayers whenever I remember, but despair comes over me every time I do any in-depth searching.
And then there's Robin Williams. Everything has been said that can be said, but tears start in my eyes when I contrast the joy he brought the world and the despair that devoured him. Depression is a real disease, which left untreated is FATAL. My one hope in all this is that his tragic death will wake up those who see behavioral health care as "optional."
My own mental illness is wreaking havoc. It's like having a monster eat at your brain, taking away your personality, your energy, everything that makes you you. I struggle to know what is the disease and what is me, or even what are sins and what is the disease. It's easy to blame everything on myself, but it's also easy to blame it all on the disease.
On a related note, I have yet to find a confessor in Savannah. There are so many conflicts of interest because of my husband's job, so even with the confidentiality oath I would feel uncomfortable. But of course, if it was a real priority I would have found someone already, so....
Pray for me.
Sometimes the little things in life save us. For instance, did you ever notice how pretty the inside of a red onion is?
I was slicing produce for a salad last night and marveled at the beauty of red onion, deep-red Southern tomatoes, golden Georgia peaches, and bright-orange pepper. It's so nice to have real tomatoes and peaches again; I've been eating heirloom tomatoes like apples.
Different things keep different folks from committing suicide. For me, the self-despair is too great to appeal to right to life or self-worth, unless I'm feeling well enough to NOT be tempted to suicide. What helps me is thinking about the good but simple things in life. I may not think my own self is worth much, but I can think to myself of ice water in the August heat, good-smelling soap, warm clothes from the dryer. Sometimes something that small will bring me off the edge.
As a tribute to life, and a prayer for all who suffer from depression, here is a video of Robin Williams interacting with the famous gorilla Koko.
