Teen apparel brands have been losing their shirts, and it's not a fashion choice.
Against a backdrop of prolonged consumer stinginess, reinforced Friday by reports of a scant monthly increase in August retail sales, an anemic back-to-school performance may herald more economic sluggishness to come.
"The economy, employment, wages and retail sales continue to stagger along," said Matthew Shay, chief executive of the National Retail Federation. "While positive retail sales growth continues month after month, it is just not strong enough to move the needle."
Although some market indicators seem to be improving — housing prices and sales are up, as are...

Payments coming for theater shooting victims
November 17, 2012
Denver — A mediator handling the distribution of about $5.3 million in donations to victims of the Colorado theater shootings said Friday that disbursement amounts have been finalized.
A gunman killed 12 people and injured at least 58 others at an Aurora movie theater July 20.
Aurora Victim Relief Fund special master Ken Feinberg said Friday that the families of the 12 people killed, plus victims who sustained permanent brain damage or paralysis, will each receive $220,000.
Six people hospitalized at least 20 days will each receive $160,000. Two who were hospitalized between eight and 19 days will each receive $91,680. Thirteen people hospitalized for less than that will each receive $35,000.
Overall, Feinberg approved claims for 38 people and denied 19 claims that didn't qualify under previously announced protocols. He had previously said victims who didn't require overnight hospitalization and claims for mental trauma would be denied because of limited funds. All victims still have access to free counseling.
"These payments won't replace loved ones who died or completely heal all wounds," Gov. John Hickenlooper said in a statement. "But through the generosity of others we hope victims and their families can use this money to continue their recovery."

The relief fund was created by Community First Foundation at the governor's request.
Hickenlooper, the foundation and the 7/20 Recovery Committee asked Feinberg to help decide how much each victim should receive after some families publicly criticized the foundation's early disbursements. He offered his services at no cost.
In the weeks after the shooting, the foundation said families of the 12 people killed and 58 injured would each receive $5,000. Some families questioned a decision to also give $100,000 to nonprofit groups working with victims instead of directly to families.
Last month, several families of those slain asked state officials to investigate the fund. Community First Foundation said Friday it has retained an accounting firm to conduct an independent audit of the fund, with results to be released with a final report on the fund that Feinberg plans to release in December.

Lady Essence Speaks on Women, Hip Hop, Misogyny
Connection Point Director Yasmina Mrabet interviewed rapper Lady Essence about her work and experience as a woman breaking into the male-dominated world of hip hop. Her answers are below.
Can you tell us a little about your personal background? How did you become interested in hip hop, and what inspired you to begin rapping?
I began rapping when I was 13 years old. It was really on a whim. I didn't think rap music required talent and felt that it was too easy just to write some silly rhymes and have it be considered artistic. With that logic I thought, well, if it is that easy, I should be able to do it myself, no problem, right? So I tried it, and quickly realized how wrong I was. However, as time passed by, I still didn't stop writing rhymes. The hobby proved to be a great emotional outlet as well as a fun challenge for my brain. I always enjoyed word puzzles and such and found writing raps to be pretty similar in a strange sense. I learned to appreciate hip hop and an artist's ability to put together clever rhyme schemes and fresh wordplay.
What has been your experience as a woman breaking into the male-dominated world of hip hop?
As a woman, I've definitely endured sexist comments. Most of the time it's said online, where people feel bravest. But once in a while in person I'll hear, "Oh, you're dope, I just can't get into the whole women rapping thing." At that point I just have to hope that their ignorance will fix itself in time. Overall though, I wouldn't change being a woman in hip hop for anything. I enjoy the challenge and turning people's heads because, based on my gender and appearance, they assume I suck. It's fun to step on stage and see everyone's initial reaction before the beat comes on. I do hope to see more women enter the hip hop sphere and I have to say, the numbers are rising and the amount of incredibly skilled women getting into rap is amazing.
What are your thoughts on the prevalence of misogyny in hip hop, and what do you think it would it take to change that?
Whenever you have 20 dudes in a room and only one woman, masculine/macho culture is going to prevail and there isn't much that can be done about it until the numbers are even. Misogyny is inescapable in hip hop because you have a large number of 20-30-year-old men in the same genre, glorifying how many bitches they can bag in a night. The change in this is numbers. However, there is a catch. If more women enter hip hop mimicking masculine culture just to gain male approval (by this I mean, calling other female rappers bitches and hoes and joining in on other male chauvinist activities) then numbers are irrelevant because masculine/macho culture will be upheld even by the oppressed (albeit unknowingly). Solidarity and education are critical in changing a culture of misogyny, as is the number of women willing to break through barriers and work together.
["Trigger Finger," Alyssa Marie ft. Lady Essence, official video shot by Zeen Media, produced by Teddy Roxpin]
You collaborated with Alyssa Marie, a Lebanese rapper who grew up in Brockton. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind the songs "Trigger Finger" and "Push"? What messages did you want to get across through those songs?
I found out about Alyssa through another artist I had collaborated with a few years ago. After hearing her music I was blown away. The way she puts rhyme schemes together while saying some of the most intelligent things I've ever heard really grabbed my ear. I reached out to her on a whim hoping to get a collaboration and she responded. I wanted the track to be perfect so I waited a while before sending anything. Then I heard this JakeOne "Scared" beat and went in. I wrote about the unfairness of hip hop not just in terms of gender, but also in terms of how mediocrity is now celebrated in hip hop. Alyssa could lyrically body some of the top people in the industry right now, but she certainly isn't raking in millions like they are, you know? I got my friend Kristina Kentigian on the hook and she really just spelled the track out for us. I sent Alyssa the reference and she absolutely nailed it. Her last lines captured the essence of the song: "But they're caught up in the gender, so focused on anatomy- they're missing what's supposed to matter, solely what the rapper speaks." And that really sums up the message in "Push."
Trigger Finger came about after producer Teddy Roxpin sent us a phenomenal beat. The beat was hard and I wanted us to showcase a more edgy side of our lyricism. Something we could go all out on in terms of flow. In turned out she wanted to do the same thing. What was incredible about Trigger Finger though was that we wrote the verses completely separately without hearing one another's, and subliminally managed to write about the same topic. I wrote, "Alyssa, pull the trigger, they rather you be my enemy." And she wrote, "Finger twitching on the trigger, tried sitting to the side." So, after we heard our verses, Alyssa realized we had a theme going, and the whole track ended up being about how external forces want to pit us against each other, simply for the fact that we are both women. The music video stresses this message greatly. And the solidarity factor is really shown at the end of the video when we're working in the studio together. She and I just have love and respect for one another and it's really refreshing to be a part of.
The song "Right Now" addressed the issue of Islamophobia in the United States. Tell us, why did you write that, and how do you see hip hop playing a role in increasing cross-cultural and interfaith understanding?
That song came about through a class I was taking called Politics of Difference. On the anniversary of 9/11, a local newspaper did a story on Ramadan and there was a huge uproar over it. People were calling the newspaper insensitive and heartless for having a story on Ramadan, as if to say, "Don't you know all Muslims are terrorists?" It was absolutely ridiculous. What if they ran a story about Christians on April 19th? Would people call the newspaper insensitive because of Timothy Mcveigh's Oklahoma City bombing? Not at all. Islamophobia is really no different then communist-phobia during the McCarthy scare. The media has an incredible ability to make us fear (which we all know leads to hate) an entity we know next to nothing about. Are there fundamentalists in the Muslim religion? Certainly. Does that mean there aren't any in every other religion (Westboro Baptist)? Of course not – and that was the message I was trying to get across in Right Now.
Finally, what women rappers have we not heard about that the world should start listening to? And if you could offer one piece of advice for women interested in breaking into the world of hip hop, what would it be?
As far as women rappers go, I would say: Alyssa Marie, Jean Grae, Invincible, Tiye Phoenix, Snow Tha Product, Phoenix Pagliacci, and Lex Leosis. Also, follow The Illest Female Rappers on Facebook or Twitter. They always keep me current on who's putting out dope material.
As far as advice goes, I would say work with other female rappers and please don't focus on competition to the point where you form hostility with other rappers, female or not. Use the art as just that, art. If you're angry let it out, definitely, but don't direct the anger towards other rappers. That's regressive and a waste of time. Focus on a message/goal and do your thing. Also, keep your head up. If you get a video posted on WorldstarHipHop you're going to see a lot of terrible comments. Use that as ammo to create change.

Good one...
I keep meaning to get on here and post, but then I don't. Either I am too tired, too busy dealing with older kids that are trying to adjust (and this manifests itself in the form of wanting to be held-Cubby, throwing tantrums-Norah or being a sassy pants--Lu), eating or feeding someone. I had taken some really fun and good pictures of the baby, but they are on my phone and I haven't taken the time to figure out how to download them yet. Nor have I managed to gather my thoughts. Or get dressed. You know how it goes.
So, I will recap the week in list form. Forgive me, but this is the best I can do.
--Doctors. I have spent an average of 2 hours per day at the doctor. Between the two girls, there is A LOT to do. Grace Ace hasn't yet regained her birth weight and she yo yo's between staying steady and loosing weight. Feeding her is a full time job. I am SO glad that I am not breastfeeding. I had decided not to before she was born, but this cements it. Sometimes it takes her an hour to get an ounce down. She needs to have 12-14 ounces a day. You do the math. This is also why I have full time child care. Next week we start the therapies (there are meetings w/ social workers, infant development specialists, audiologists, optometrists, etc, etc, for both girls...). At least I get out of the house.
--Trying to get my milk to dry up was the WORST part of the whole process. It hurts and apparently, my body really wants to make milk. Lots of it. If anyone you know decides to go this route, let me know. The lactation consultant gave me bad advice and made things worse, but she gave me really great advice about helping the baby eat and finding the right bottle for her little mouth, so they aren't all bad. Don't get me started about the nurses at the hospital and the whole breastfeeding thing. My life, my body, my kid, my boobs, my sanity. My choice. I know that some of my readers have very strong opinions about this subject. Great. If you were here to wet nurse for me, all the better, but this subject is one that I am very happy to defend myself on, but probably won't, because I am too tired.
--Ace's blood count came back funny. Children with Trisomy 21 (the real name for Down Syndrome) have a much higher chance of getting certain kinds of leukemia. We had to retest her blood. It took forever and they kept having to prick her heel over and over. I hate that part. Lucky for me they had lots of lollipops in their basket, I keep feeding them to Norah. She was pretty unhappy that they were making her baby cry.
--Speaking of Norah and sugar. Guess who hasn't really gained any weight and is back on the official "failure to thrive" list and force feeding program? That's right. The difference is that before she really didn't eat. It was a challenge just to get the food into her. Now, she eats all the time and she eats A LOT. But, I have to get more calories into her. We have smoothies made w/ cream and ice cream twice a day, she gets all the sugar she wants (empty calories, I know but they are still calories..), etc. I honestly spend much of my day getting my two girls to eat. Ironic for a mother that LOVES to eat, eh? I don't know if N has a super high metabolism or if this is part of what is wrong with her. I am anxious for the development center to get started on these tests. There is no way that a child that is eating as much as she is, isn't gaining weight. Well, I mean, clearly she isn't but there must be a better reason than the fact that she isn't eating enough, because she is. She still isn't walking, but we are working on it. We have added a few words too, so we are slowly, slowly making progress.
--Lauren thinks that she is 18. She also manages to put together outfits that make he look like a Bratz doll. She has such a unique sense of style and puts together some really cool outfits, but occasionally they get a little heavy on the fishnets (she got them from MY drawer) and boas and corsets (she made one for herself out of felt and yarn..I am not kidding). I have had to come down really hard on her to not parent everyone, including me. I can do nothing right when it comes to the baby, according to her, and she is really hard on Jacob. Mostly, I need to teach her that she doesn't have to worry about anyone but herself. I know this is a coping mechanism for her and a way to impose order in her life, but she needs to chill out or she is going to have a stroke at 11. I have caught her packing to run away a few times. The last time, I saw the suitcase and said "are you running away?" and she looked at me and said "I am afraid it is true this time". Classic. I laughed. I tried so hard not to..but I couldn't help it.
--Jacob is getting better in terms of not destroying things. I love, love, love this house. I love the yard and the little family room nook. He can play and putter and go in and out without too much work. The kids call the nanny flat "the hotel". Right now, they get rewarded for good behaviour by getting to play in the Hotel. Yay. He and Norah have done pretty well sharing a room. Occasionally Norah will cry a bit before she sleeps. Jacob will lay on his bed, with his fingers in his ears, shouting "I HATE this song" over and over. My kids are pretty funny. Other than the fact that he asks me for food ALL DAY LONG (but he is able to access lots of healthy snacks on his own) over and over and over again, things are OK. Having a new minivan with a DVD player in it helps too. He loves to sit in the car and watch movies. I love that he is strapped in. Everyone wins..
Finally, this weekend is the 11th anniversary of the day my husband and I got engaged (he reminded me). It has been a tricky year. My mom is coming to town to help with the baby (her original due date was a few days ago). Derek and I are going to have a fancy dinner and stay at a hotel. To sleep. Where no one can interrupt us. That is what 4 kids does to you. You are excited about a hotel for the food you don't have to make and for the 12 hours of sleep you will get. I can't imagine anything better at this point.
I have so many posts in my head that are about intellectual things or pop culture things. I have some thoughts on Top Chef, on how much I hate that the women of America crucified Eliot Spitzers wife (this post might still get written..I am bugged about this), my obsession with The Biggest Looser, etc, etc. Someday.
Will my brain stop leaking. Will my kids ever stop fighting? Will I ever sleep again?

Wow. You sound so busy. A couple of things: 1) I wish I was one of your girls and had to gain weight (which I REALLY don't), so you could make me delicious, rich, calorie-filled treats in the name of health, 2) As for the nursing thing, I'm not sure there's anything you can do about the drying up. . .other than wait. I'd be interested to know your bad advice, as I didn't receive any advice when I chose not to breast-feed Noel. It just takes a long time, is painful, and is not fun. And, my heavens. . .you enjoy those bottle feedings. Choosing to bottle/breast-feed is entirely your decision and you have enough things to worry about besides the annoying opinions of others. 3) The Biggest Loser. Let's discuss. Could I really lose 80 lbs. in 3 months? That's INSANE. And if those boys cry ONE MORE TIME, I'm going to kill them. Wusses. All of them. Go Kelly!
- Holladay Family said...
Wow. That sounds like an eventful week or has it been an eventful month? Year? I like to see how other people out in the world are doing but it sounds like I need to prayer that your little ones want to eat and gain weight soon! I know how hard it is to have milk and not need it. I had twins and my milk was overflowing to say the least. I breastfeed them for 9 months and then switched to formula. Not to discourage you, because I think this is RARE, but it took me a couple of YEARS before my milk fully went aware. How terrible is that? A friend of mine said I should have taken supplements (from the Health food store) or gone to my doctor (apparently they have pills to decrease milk supply) or wrapped myself in a tight bandage. I didn't know any of that and apparently suffered unnecessarily. I am worried about your blood draw. Leukemia is not something you need to deal with right now. The Lord has given you enough. I will pray about that tonight. We can only handle so much before we need to say, I think you've trusted me enough. I hope your kiddos continue to progress and all of them begin to thrive. You are a sweet family who is trying to provide the best home possible for your little critters. I will pray that you may you sleep well and have peace in your home tonight.

"I'm afraid it's true this time"
Oh Lu!!
That tickles me pink.
It's true: a hotel sounds like heaven, just heaven.
- Dalene said...
I'm with Azúcar. And she made her own corset? Oh my!
Wish you the best--as always. And now I need to go Google the wife, because all I heard about was him and the call girl.
- dalene said...
(I'm back. And now I'm just mad. I can't wait for your post!)
- Kalli Ko said...
Since i know nothing of the nursing woes yet and of the drying up of milk supply I will go by what a friend told me she did to dry up... and that was cabbage leaves in her bra or some junk like that. I have no idea where she got it but she swore it worked. Weird huh?
- SupermomE11 said...
HUGS!!!! It makes me laugh at how similar some of our kids are... how many times have one of us told a story about Marcus or Jacob and the other one has said, "uh huh! that could be my kid!"
Your stories about Lu crack me up because that could be my Maggie. This is the girl that told me she wanted to go to Vietnam (she was born there). I asked her why, expecting to have an emotional, heart to heart about it. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Mom! I am the princess from Vietnam. They are my people. They want to see me." Indeed!!!
hang in there... I am praying both girls will start to gain weight and thrive... I know from our early Marcus days how stressful that is. I wish you were closer and I could give you some rest. Happy anniversary and I am glad you mom is coming!!
- Suzie Petunia said...
Your oldest sounds like she's going through the same stage as mine. Except mine hasn't tried to run away... yet. I'm sure that is coming. But if she does I hope she packs the mess in her room to take with her.
Good luck with the babies and all that feeding. You are doing a good job. A job that is NOT easy. I hope you enjoy your get away!
- Leisha said...
I just love ya...albeit from afar. Our kids are pretty much around the same ages Newborn, 2, 4, 6...so I hear ya on a lot of what you are going through. Since the last 2 are foster-to-adopt you can replace your therapies with all the parent visits, CPS visits, yada, yada, yada. This is why I love your blog. I get good tips on how to stay sane, or just to commiserate. I'm impressed by you every post. I also like Gracie's new nickname!
- La Yen said...
You rule.
Maybe, in the three steps that she took, she stepped on a tapeworm.
Or, maybe she is not eating anything at all, but storing the food in her afro-puffs for the winter.
And, if I beg, do you think Lu can make me a corset?
- Nellie said...
I hate nursing, but never had the nerve not to do it at all. So, I do it for as long as I can stand and no more. My sanity is worth way more than bing a cow.
Enjoy your engagement anniversary! Sleep, and eat in peace. I agree with the Spitzer thing -- why are people so opposed to "sticking by your man?" I applaud her courage for even being there by his side. I could go on and on . . .
No, your brains will not stop leaking, but Diet coke helps. :) What is my excuse? I sleep all night most nights and my baby is three -- and my brains are pretty much all leaked out.
- dresselfamily.blogspot.com said...
more than anyone i know, you need a break. actually your posted helped more than you will know. I have been whining about been tired..( Ella wakes up more than Ethan, at least 5 times a night,she's crying.
you are doing a great job!
Oh and the brest feeding stuff, i couldn't nurse the girls ( i tried, no milk, evenlactations consults told me to stop), with Ethan didn't try, and i had some stranger at the pool come up to me whilst i was feeding Ethan and said " excuse me, can u tell me why you are not BF your child".. i was so stunnd i could barely talk!!!!! HOW RUDE!!!!!!!!!!
- wendy said...
Will I ever cease to be amused and entertained by you? Nope. You have a great sense of humor, especially for a mom with SO much on her plate. I think about you a lot. I hope things settle down soon, or at least that you are able to get caught up on your sleep. Hopefully that hotel trip will help!

Aw ladies.... I find it ironic that eveyrone is saying I have a lot on my plate when I KNOW that most of you do/have more than I. Two of these commenters have 10 or more children (or really close--fingers crossed for you Wendy...).
Things are find. Another update soon.
- Cafe Johnsonia said...
WOW. Bek, I'm in awe of you. You are a truly amazing woman with so many things going on. I can't even imagine. And I think I'm gonna shuddy now about my lazy little life.

Bingham man! I got an invite from Mark Dundon's facebook page (he is clearly on steroids now) and saw the link to your blog. My wife keeps a blog going of our family and thought I would give you the link. http://theskibafamily.blogspot.com/ .

I totally hear you on all these things .. btw, congrats on the latest arrival :)
- Miriam said...
So THAT's what's going on with my brains...
I'm waiting (a bit impatiently) for you and your phone to have a meeting and produce some more Ace pictures for us. But only when you feel like it!
Sleep is just so incredibly decadent right now.

The guide provides both active and retired minsters step-by-step help in understanding the latest tax laws, along with sample tax forms to assist them in preparing their 2013 federal tax returns.
This year's edition contains a special supplement addressing key points of the recent housing allowance ruling. Also, church treasurers and other church leaders can refer to the guide's special section about important federal requirements for churches.
The guide was written once again by Richard Hammar, a noted CPA, attorney and widely published author who specializes in legal and tax issues for ministers. Additionally, the material is edited by GuideStone's compliance staff to address the tax issues that affect the greatest number of Southern Baptist pastors.
"This year, it's particularly important for ministers to have access to this useful resource," GuideStone president O.S. Hawkins said. "From late changes to tax law to challenges to the housing allowance, ministerial tax issues grow more complicated each year."
Hawkins considers it a "joy and a privilege for GuideStone to stand alongside the ministers we represent and provide solid counsel from a trusted source."
"Each year so many pastors tell us how thankful they are for this guide and how much it helps them navigate the unique ministerial tax laws," Hawkins said. "We are blessed to be able to help them with the important task of ensuring that their income tax returns are correct."

WESTFIELD, NJ—The Westfield Board of Education considered the efficacy of its technology initiative begun two years ago during its Tuesday night meeting.
The discussion followed a presentation by two experts who have been appointed as master technology teachers, Nancy Latimer and Jeanine Gottko. The teachers described ways they have supported classroom teachers at all grade levels in using iPads and various other computers in their lessons.
Their comments led board president Richard Mattessich to ask them if they believe the technology initiative is working and how the board could know if they are continuing in the right direction. He indicated that information will be helpful as the board develops its budget for the 2013-14 school year.
Latimer responded she has found that using iPads at the high school level has been challenging because of the need to create content for specific subjects.
"They're not the right tool for every job," she noted.
Gottko, who offers support for grades K-8, said as a result of technology, "There has been a huge leap. The iPad carts have been wonderful."
She also noted that offering classroom teachers professional development classes has been helpful.
Latimer said "the extra push of support" she offers by being in the classroom "has been tremendous."
Board member Ann Cary asked if in upcoming years the board should concentrate on furnishing iPads or laptops to replace outdated or inoperative ones.
Gottko said at the elementary level, more laptops are needed.
Board member Gretchan Ohlig wondered aloud whether the district should extend the one-year contract for the master technology teachers.
"I feel I'm just starting to hit my stride," Latimer replied.
Paul Piero, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and program, jumped into the discussion by saying, "They're covering a lot of ground."
He added he has been meeting with principals to promote the use of technology and is trying to increase the visibility of the master teachers.
"It was built and they are coming," he summarized. "We want to make sure no one is left behind."
On another budget-related topic, Cary asked Superintendent Margaret Dolan when the board could expect to hear about security needs for the schools. She brought up the issue after hearing from Business Administrator Dana Sullivan that security is at the top of the list of district priorities this year, in light of recent shootings in Newtown, Conn.
Dolan replied that she had just had a meeting that day with the town's Emergency Management Committee, including the police chief, and those meetings take place monthly.
She also said measures that could be taken immediately have been taken, and other efforts are ongoing. She said she will be meeting in a few weeks with county officials and is exploring if federal grant money is available.
The superintendent did agree to schedule a formal presentation, cautioning, "We don't want to give every detail … If I'm vague, that's intentional."
At the beginning the meeting, the board heard about a newly released e-book "Of Mice and Men" that features comments from six students who were at Roosevelt Intermediate School last year.
The students came to the attention of the publisher because of a program in which they met with students from a Plainfield school to discuss themes of the book. They were subsequently invited to New York City to tape their comments.
The board honored the students, their English teacher and the administrator who approved of the exchange program by presenting them with a certificate.

johnishHassle free way to brighten someones day.January 6, 2014
Since my son and his wife left the U.K. to live in the USA present giving has been difficult to say the least. Recently we discovered Gift Tree and used them to send a wedding anniversary gift. I can highly recommend this company, ordering was hassle free, we were kept fully updated by email as to progress and delivery times and my son and daughter in law were truly delighted when the gift arrived, commenting particularly on presentation. I will definitely be using Gift Tree in the future.
EbodzHUGE success!December 27, 2013
This gift was a huge success! My friend and her boyfriend just moved in together and they LOVED receiving this gift set! GiftTree delivered it ahead of the scheduled date and everything went smoothly. I would definitely use GiftTree again and recommend it to my friends!

Holly's momProud to have sent itDecember 21, 2013
Sent this to my cousin and her husband. There was a mix up with the card but she knew it was from me. She loved it and said it is just beautiful. It was nice to send something from Ohio, online that wasn't disappointing. Received notice when it was delivered (SC) and had a great experience with the company. Will definitely use this company again with out fear.
knot4sailRibbonDecember 21, 2013
I just wanted to say... my friend's daughter ' loved the ribbon '. I was simply hoping the names were spelled right... hahaha
It's the second time I've used them as the service is very good.... I don't actually see the gift so..........but,who wouldn't want to receive a delivered gift basket ??

I sent this to my sister and her fiance as an engagement party gift since I could not attend. They were so happy, thank you!
gift giverGreat IdeaAugust 8, 2013
I bought this gift for my boyfriend's parents for their 40th anniversary. His mom said she cried a little. The gift was presented beautifully. It's such a great gift idea for any occasion.
I just wish they also included the option to add champagne glasses too and the same champagne selection as the gift with personalized champagne glasses.
One size does fit all!You Can't Miss With This One!July 24, 2013
What do you get your doctor (who is also a personal friend) for his birthday? The man who has everything? Well this hit it out of the park! He loved the champagne, the presentation, the personalized ribbon; he loved it all! When you don't know what to get them, this is it. No brainer.

JamdaddyA Great Thank YouFebruary 14, 2013
The receiver was very happy!
LovetogivegiftsMade nice retirement gift!January 10, 2013
I did not personally see this gift but the recipient seemed thrilled to receive it. I was disappointed, though, that the engraved plate that was advertised was no longer available - one of the main reasons for the selection. Also no current coupons available .
luvpinkBeautiful giftNovember 11, 2011
I purchased this as a thank you gift for my Realtor. It's absolutely gorgeous. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because the ribbon was not big and fluffy as shown in the photo. Instead it was tied the same way you tie your shoes, which to me is the lazy way to tie a bow. This makes a big difference in presentation. Nontheless, I highly recommend this item. Just make sure the bow is presented properly as indicated in the pic.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT water polo team split its first two games of the 2010 campaign in the MIT Invitational Tournament at the Zesiger Center Pool on Saturday afternoon. The Engineers dropped a thrilling, sudden-death match to St. Francis, 12-11, before coming back to defeat Cal Lutheran, 9-5, in their second game of the day.
After falling behind early in the first game against St. Francis, Tech struck back with a pair of goals less than a minute apart, by Scott Stephens and Andres Simauchi, to tie things up at two. A late St. Francis marker by Manko Gencic sent the Terriers into the break up by one. The Engineers would outscore St. Francis, 6-3, in the second quarter, including a 4-1 spurt to open the frame, to take an 8-6 lead into halftime.
Alex Mattfolk's goal just under two minutes into the third gave the Cardinal and Gray its largest lead of the day at 9-6. However, St. Francis responded with a pair of tallies to enter the final quarter down just one.
Boris Plavsic scored the equalizer one minute into the final period, knotting the score at nine. The teams would then go over five minutes without a score before Craig Cheney found the back of the net with what appeared to be the game-winner. The slim, one-goal lead would last just 33 seconds before Stefan Gencic beat Columbus Leonard with 1:22 remaining to send the teams into overtime.
St. Francis struck first in the overtime period but Cheney would score his fourth goal of the afternoon to tie the game at 11 and extend the game into sudden-death.
MIT had an excellent man-up opportunity to win the game early in the final frame but St. Francis goalie Nikola Djuric made one of his seven saves to deny the Engineers their first win over the Terriers since 1993. Manko Gencic would net the game-winner just a few minutes later.
Cheney finished with four goals and two assists while John Preis and Scott Stephens chipped in a pair of goals. Alex Mattfolk had a team-high four assists. Leonard stopped 13 shots in the losing effort.
In the second game of the day, MIT and Cal Lutheran battled to a tight, 4-4 halftime score. Tech was able to open up a two-goal lead in the third to enter the final frame leading, 6-4. The Kingsmen would get within one early in the fourth before Andrew Dorne responded with the first of three straight tallies to send the Engineers on the way to their first win of the season.
Cheney and Dorne led the way with three goals each. Despite not finding the scoring column, Brian Gardiner contributed in a number of different ways, leading the team with four assists and also chipping in three steals and a key penalty drawn.
The Engineers will finish out their annual Invitational on Sunday afternoon against the Boston Metro Elite Club team at 4:00 p.m.

Carroll Crowned 2013 Melges 32 World Champion, Cirillo Named Audi Sailing Series Champion
23 September 2013
Porto Rotondo, Italy - Congratulations are in full order for American Jason Carroll aboard Argo, with tactician Cameron Appleton and crew comprised of Anthony Kotoun, Chuck Norris, Peter Crawford, Westy Barlow, Eric Aakhus and Lindsay Bartel as they are 2013 Melges 32 World Champions. Carroll's father was close by on a support boat and instantly recapped that this accomplishment is the product of over forty regattas raced by the Argo Team.
Almost immediately after crossing the finish line, press and media boats as well as fellow teams crowded around Carroll to congratulate him. When asked how it felt to now be World Champion, a very calm and relaxed Carroll responded with smile a mile wide, "It feels pretty good."
"I'm so proud of my team, they have worked so hard to win this," said Carroll post-awards. "The level of competition in this fleet has grown so much over the past couple of years, making this all the more rewarding."
Coming in second place overall and winner of the 2013 Audi Melges 32 Sailing Series is Lanfranco Cirillo on Fantastica. This is the second time that Cirillo has won the prestigious series title that is comprised of five amazing events. Deneen Demourkas' Groovederci rounds out the top three, after earning a bullet in the final race of the Championship.
Again, the International Melges 32 Class Association wishes to extend great appreciation to event host Yacht Club Porto Rotondo (YCPR) in coordination with Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS), B.Plan Sports & Events (BPSE) and Melges Europe.

Revision as of 22:00, 7 November 2009
This is an uncommon document for the reason that the need to restore from 'configurations only' is only necessary when:
- When a program or programs begin to behave unexpectedly and no help in the forums (or elsewhere) is available is able to fix the problem. By chance reinstalling your programs and other configurations might fix the problem.
- You have limited hard disk space and are not capable of doing a full restore from backup.
This document is designed to show you how to: add commonly-used/necessary configurations in an include file in a single step, back them up on a regular basis, and how to restore all your configurations and packages when rebuilding your system.
- 1 Backup
- 2 Restoring
- 3 Resources
The tar compression tool with a couple helper scripts can backup your configurations in a few steps.
Include/Exclude Files
Tar has the ability to read from an "include" file that has a list of files (configurations, documents, etc.) to be included when compressing. The format is stored line by line with its full base path. For example:
/etc/pacman.conf /etc/rc.conf /home/user ...
And is invoked like this:
tar --files-from=include.txt --exclude-from=exclude.txt -cvpzf backupname.tar.gz
The name of the include file can be anything you want, and an exclude file can be used like in the example above. The exclude file is like the include file but additionally has the ability to be able to use regexps, can be commented, and have blank lines:
# Trashes not necessary /home/*/.local/share/Trash/files /home/*/.Trash
Adding to (In|Ex)clude Files in One Step
To help add file names, folders... to the include and exclude files, a couple bash scripts can be used to accomplish this. bca (backup-config-add) and bce (backup-cfg-exclude) can be used from the command line like this:
bca /etc/X11/xorg.conf cd /home/user bce .thumbnails/
Both scripts detect the full path so writing a relative or partial path (like in the example above) are acceptable. Put them in your script directory and make them executable to add a file anytime you think of it.
#!/bin/bash # bce (backup-config-exclude) - add files to be excluded in backup excludeloc=/home/user/.scripts/backup/exclude.txt # Add file/folder/link to list if [[ -z "$@" ]]; then echo " bce <file/folder/list> - add exclusions to backing up configurations" else echo "`readlink -f "$@"`" >> $excludeloc fi
#!/bin/bash # bca (backup-cfg-add) - add file/folders to the backup-cfg include file incfile=/home/user/.scripts/backup/include.txt fullpath=$(readlink -f "$@") # Display usage if full argument is not given if [[ -z "$@" ]]; then echo " bca <file/folder/link> - add files/folders/links to backup-cfgs' include file" exit fi # Test if path exists if [ ! -e "$fullpath" ]; then echo -e " File "$@" does not exist." exit fi # Add entry echo "$fullpath" >> "$incfile" echo -e "${bldblu}*${txtrst} Added ${undwht}$fullpath${txtrst} in backup include file" # Sort entries sort -u "$incfile" -o "$incfile"
Backup Script
A tar backup script can be built and then be automated to run on a regular basis.
This backup script names your backup by hostname and date, specifies your include and exclude file locations, and removes old backups:
#!/bin/bash # backup-cfg - backup configurations with tar # Backup name machine=$HOSTNAME distro=arch type=configs date=`date "+%F"` backupname=$machine-$distro-$type-$date # Backup destination backdest="/opt/backup" # Files containing information to include and exclude include_file="/home/user/.scripts/backup/include.txt" exclude_file="/home/user/.scripts/backup/exclude.txt" # Verify that the target directory exists. if [ ! -d $backdest ]; then echo " Backup directory does not exist, creating" mkdir $backdest else echo " Backup directory exists." fi # Delete backups older than two months if [[ -n "$(find "$backdest" -mtime +60)" ]]; then find "$backdest"/$machine-$distro-$type-* -mtime +60 -exec rm {} \; echo -e " Backups older than two months deleted" fi # Unmount other drives/partitions #umount -a # Backup tar --exclude-from=$exclude_file --files-from=$include_file -cvpzf \ $backdest/$backupname.tar.gz
To do automated backups (for example, every week), put the script in your root crontab (Template:Codeline):
# # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE MANUALLY!! USE crontab -e INSTEAD. # 50 00 * * 0 /home/user/.scripts/backup/backup-cfg # | | | | | user # | | | | weekday (0-6) (Sunday=0) # | | | month (1-12) # | | day (0-31) # | hour (0-23) # minute (0-59)
What Not to Include in a Backup
There are some files that should not be included in the backup directly. The reason for this will become apparently later in the document. For now, if you want these files backed up copy them to a new name:
cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst-good cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab-good cp /etc/sudoers /etc/sudoers-good
Then add them to your include file.
A package list can be created that can restore your installed packages. If you have the hard disk space available, you might want to also consider saving the install packages (Template:Filename) as well.
Creating a Package List
You can create a list of official installed packages with:
pacman -Qqet | grep -v "$(pacman -Qqm)" > /opt/backup/pkg-official bca /opt/backup/pkg-official
This will create a list of all packages in the enabled pacman repositories (i.e. core, extra, community and testing).
To create a list of all local packages (includes packages installed from the AUR):
pacman -Qqmt > /opt/backup/pkg-local bca /opt/backup/pkg-local
Alternately, you can use the packup utility in the AUR. Packup is a backup and restore from list utility with a menu driven interface. Packup will create a list and save it in the root folder. If you use packup, consider creating a separate list for official and local packages for easier debugging later.
Saving Package Tarballs
Pacman saves all package tarballs in Template:Filename. Saving these will increase the re-install speed so consider adding this folder to your include file. You might want to think about reducing the size of the cache before backing up, though. Pacman has the ability to remove any un-installed packages from the cache with:
pacman -Sc
If you use Yaourt to install packages from the AUR, you might want to consider setting up a cache for it too (Yaourt by default does not save the built package tarballs). To setup a cache directory, edit Template:Filename to include one:
ExportToLocalRepository /var/cache/yaourt/pkg
Then give the directory the necessary permissions so Yaourt can write to it as a regular user:
mkdir -p /var/cache/yaourt/pkg chmod 766 /var/cache/yaourt/pkg/
And add it to your include file:
bca /var/cache/yaourt/pkg/
Storing the Backup
The examples above save the backups to the same partition (provided you do not have a separate /opt partition). If you have the hard disk space, use a separate partition or drive. The Parted Magic CD has Gparted on it to help do this. If you do not you will need to put them on a separate media before you restore. If you absolutely have to, you can break up tar files and span them over multiple disks.
Restoring will require: reinstalling the base system, extracting the backup configurations back to the new system, checking for conflicts, and reinstalling the previously installed packages.
Extracting Configurations
Install Arch Linux as you normally would and then mount the partition with your backup in it:
mkdir /backup-part mount /dev/<your-partition> /backup-part
Then extract your backup onto the new install:
tar xvf hostname-arch-configs-date-tar.gz -C /mnt
The installer will have already mounted your install partition on /mnt. This is where not including those files directly above comes in handy. Doing this will overwrite any files that match with your backup and the new install. Check your good mount file (fstab) and bootloader file (menu.lst) with the new install version and update where necessary. Reboot.
Adding a User
When creating a user, consider giving the user a unique user id (UID). This will help prevent conflicts in the future with other users and programs having the same UID (UIDs for users generally start at 1000):
useradd -m -u 1050 -G audio,optical,power,storage,users,video -s /bin/bash user
If you have restored a user home directory (/home/user) from your backup configurations, the -m switch will give a warning about an already existing home directory but will not alter the directory. Do not forget to change permissions in your home directory if your UIDs differ:
chown -R username:users /home/user
Installing Yaourt
If you previously had any AUR packages installed, you can install Yaourt to restore the packages:
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt/yaourt.tar.gz tar xvf yaourt.tar.gz && cd yaourt* makepkg -s pacman -U yaourt-*.pkg.tar.gz
Reinstalling packages
Reinstall packages from the official repositories, the AUR, and locally installed packages separately to better diagnose problems if they occur.
First reinstall packages from the official repositories;
pacman -Sy pacman -S --needed $(cat /opt/backup/pkg-official)
Pacman will not install packages with file conflicts (i.e. if you have configurations placed that pacman detects an installing package has as well). Take a note of the conflicting packages and either: move the conflicting configuration (if you know what it is), or force pacman to overwrite the conflicting files:
pacman -S -f --needed $(cat /opt/backup/pkg-official)
If you do this, you will need to find out the conflicting file and reinstall it again. Pacman can tell you what files a certain package installs:
pacman -Ql <package>
And you can extract the file or files from an archive with:
tar xvf hostname-arch-configs-date-tar.gz etc/hosts etc/resolv.conf
and place the file(s) manually where they belong.
The AUR
To reinstall packages from the AUR:
yaourt -S $(cat /opt/backup/pkg-local | grep -vx "$(pacman -Qqm)")
The additional command is to remove from the list any packages already installed. For example, if there are any problems installing a package from the AUR you will not have to go through the whole list again and tell Yaourt what to install (i.e. Yaourt does not suppport the --needed switch). Also, if you created a Yaourt cache before, note that Yaourt does not have the ability to read from the cache before an install. If you do not want to build all your AUR packages again, these packages will have to be installed manually - see the next step.
If you created a Yaourt cache or have your own packages saved, you can install them with:
pacman -U <*--asdeps> <package>

Glitter is not approved for use in cosmetics in the US. Although it has been approved for use in the European Union for all cosmetic uses as well as have met the EU's Reach criteria. The FDA has determined that glitter is a color additive which is not listed on their list of approved color additives. This means that a glitter product is not allowed for use in any cosmetic in the USA. Consumers have expressed confusion over this, as it is obvious that there is glitter in all kinds of cosmetics sold currently in the USA and there are no known reports of harm caused by glitter. Be warned that it is NOT EYE SAFE by the FDA guidelines and is not advertised as an eye product. If you choose to use glitter on your eyes or face do it at your own risk. If irritation occurs stop use immediately.
