McGraw is a manly gentlemans fragrance. High class. Powerful and musky. I get more compliments from women while wearing this than I do when I wear RL Polo Double Black, which has a similar scent, It last for hours longer than Double Black and the best part is it's 1/7th the cost!

This fragrance is more suited for an older man. Smells nice though. I detect strong leather and possibly tobacco. Good for Winter evening wear. Just make sure you are mature enough to pull it off.

This stuff is potent. People can smell it, and people will love it. I like this stuff because when you first put it on, it's realllllly realllllly manly... And a then like... Maybe a couple hours later, it evens out to a sweet, but still strong scent. Like- the Nutmeg, and the amber the whole time is there. I really like it, I wish they like some kinda shave balm. This really is a great fragrance.... For this terribly low price, I recommend you get it.

1st of all I ordered it on Friday the 4th and received in on Thursday the 10th!! I'm in love with it!! I followed the directions and looked at the picture while placing the crystal pieces on, due to one review that said they did not realize there were different sizes of the crystals. I also looked for the white gloves due to one review that said they would have wished they had found the white gloves prior to placing the crystals pieces on. I found it easy to place the crystal pieces on. I did find it easier to use one glove to pick up the crystal piece and leave my other hand free of the glove to use my finger nails to open the little wire piece to connect the crystal piece to the chandelier. My son is not an electrician but he did follow the directions and turned off the electricity and connected it while I helped him by holding the Chandelier for him. It took us about 30 min. This Chandelier is Gorgeous!! The description Overstock gives is wrong as far as the color� they state the lamp has a bronze finish...Not So!! The metal part of it is black as stated but the shade itself is more of an iridescent, shimmering, sparkly, glittery whitish, light silvery hue to it ( if you will). An absolute perfect compliment to the chrome candelabra. The light bulbs are standard chandelier bulbs that you can pick up at any hardware store or neighborhood drug store that sells light bulbs. I did pick up an inexpensive light dimmer at my hardware store for about 3 bucks, I already had a light plate that I liked and wanted to keep, so all I needed to do is pick up the manual knob you turn to the brightness you want, that took my son all of 10 min to install with the electricity off of course. I was vacillating back and forth with this Chandelier or another one that was $20.00 less but I am well pleased that I spent the extra 20 bucks!! But I'm so please with this one that I'm going to purchase the other Chandelier I had my eye on for my bedroom!! Also one review said their shade was crooked once hung. I too experienced that when we 1st hung it, all I did was grab the shade and did a few firm yet not to rough tugs to the direction I needed it to go and Bam!! It was perfect!!! Classy, Elegant, Beautiful, not over stated and definitely not under stated!! My sister said, Mannnnnnnn how much did you spend on this?? �About $250 or more?� I said nope 
I really am very impressed with this light. For the price, it is even better. It came with probably 50 extra crystals in case some fall off or are lost. But it's quite sturdy, so I doubt I'll even use any of them. My only gripes: the instructions were photocopied and dim in spots and a bit hard to read. The "hot" wire has such microscopic writing on it I had great difficulty determining which it was. The black trim on the shade is not glued on terribly well. But please don't let my gripes take away from how thrilled I am with this product. I really love it. Sometimes I just turn it on to stare at it (it's in my entryway). I installed a Lutron dimmer on it also, which makes a huge difference. I recommend this product without reservation. Also, Overstock.com got it to me really quickly and in flawless condition. The packaging was great. This was my first purchase from them and I am sure I'll be back for more.
This is so gorgeous in my bathroom over my tub. It is the focus of the room and well worth double the price. The crystals are so sparkly, but not over the top.
This light is so much prettier in person . My daughter wanted this for her room and she loves it as do I. The crystal add a nice sparkle and it puts out a nice amount of light. It was a bit of a challenge to attach the crystals so be sure to attach them before light is hung
This chandelier is even more beautiful in person! The assembly was extremely easy for me and I'm not super good at this kinda thing. ha! Assembly went fast. There are 3 different size crystals, so be sure you're paying attention to that when you are hanging them on the chandelier. Directions were easy to follow. We have a 16ft long island in the kitchen and I purchased 4 of these to hang above. Gorgeous! :)
Looks contemporary, classy and elegant in my entrance foyer with a raised ceiling. A great find!
Beautiful light, looks awesome. Completely updated my dining area. It was a cinch to put together too. Highly recommend.
I could not wait to get my new Chandelier! I was looking for an economical way to update my dining room, from the very tired chandeleir, that was currently hanging there. I was not dissappointed. I was fortunate to get my very talented father-in-law, to install, along with help from my son, a fisherman who is used to working with fishing lures, etc. We installed it exactly where we took the old one down, so it was just a matter of changing the electrical wires, which went smoothly. The installation of the crystals was tricky. You need to separate the little ring to slide them on. My son did it so quickly and effortlessly, so it depends on your fingers and your personal flexibility with your fingers. We did not use the gloves, because it was to slippery. The crystals did not get all fingerprinted up.The written directions were easy to read and understand. It took 1 hour from start to finish to install, which included the crystals. I love the way the shade glistens. The crystals add a little bit of elegance, which I like. The only thing, is that there are only 4 lightbulbs, which cuts down on the light. I knew that going in. I love the way it looks. For the money, it was so worth it!! I am so happy with the quality of the item for the price.
I bought this for my foyer and it is BEAUTIFUL! You can get the light bulbs at IKEA, (they can be hard to find!). I have gotten so many compliments on this piece!
I purchased after reading the reviews. It came well packaged. I was not home when my handyman put it up. Unfortunately, many of the crystals had scratches/defects on them. I put these up myself ( or I would blame him!). They were well wrapped so I was surprised I was sent so many with defects. I contacted Overstock and they promised to send me replacements. I am waiting to receive them and am hopeful they will come in very good condition. On a positive note, the shade/crystals are stunning when the lights are on! The fixture appears to be quality construction.

The City of Charlottesville just got some big help from the feds with their effort to make our city more environment friendly.
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation has awarded Charlottesville a $35,000 grant to conduct a storm water management study.
The city has already made improvements by adding small gardens in area parks to filter run-off water across town. The money will help with even more plans.
"The goals are to improve water quality, promote ground water infiltration, and do it in a demonstration manner, so we can start promoting and encouraging more of this type of an approach," said Kristel Riddervold with the Charlottesville Department of Public Works.
The city will match the grant money bringing the total of funds for the study to $70,000. The total is expected to last for a year's worth of work.

Certain abnormal behaviors, however, are common to all fish. The more important of these abnormal behaviors are
Coughing—flaring of the operculum followed by rapid closure in an attempt to dislodge an irritant from the gills, which is suggestive
of gill disease.
Flashing—rubbing against objects, which is suggestive of an ectoparasitic infestation.
Piping—gulping air at the surface, indicating hypoxia due to oxygen-poor water, gill disease, or anemia.
Circling (controlled) or whirling (uncontrolled)—suggestive of blindness and neurologic disease, respectively.
Drifting—aimless, unpropelled motion indicative of weakness and imminent death.
Abnormal posture—floating at the surface, which may suggest disorders such as swim bladder or neurologic disease. Or in the case of goldfish,
a lack of fiber in flake food diets often results in poor intestinal motility, resulting in air accumulating in the intestines.
This air causes the fish to float abnormally at the surface.
After taking the history, observing the fish, and performing water quality testing, perform a hands-on examination. To do
this, first capture the fish with soft mesh or plastic nets to minimize trauma. The physical examination should be performed
quickly (in less than one minute) and may require sedation or general anesthesia. Tricaine methanesulfonate dissolved in water
is commonly used to sedate or anesthetize fish. The response of fish to tricaine varies among species and water quality parameters;
however, the general dose for sedation ranges between 8 and 30 ppm using a buffered 10 g/L stock solution.1 Fish placed in the anesthetic bath should be immobilized in less than five minutes if given the proper dosage. You can add
more tricaine gradually as needed to obtain the desired level of sedation or anesthesia. Anesthetic recovery occurs when the
fish is returned to water containing no tricaine anesthetic.
Blood can be collected by venipuncture of the caudal vein or artery in most species. The caudal vertebral blood vessels can
be approached ventrally or laterally. The ventral approach involves inserting the needle along the ventral midline near the
base of the caudal peduncle. A lateral approach to the caudal vertebral vessels is performed by inserting the needle a few
millimeters below the lateral line near the base of the caudal peduncle (Figure 1). Direct the needle toward the midline and under the vertebral bodies.

The world's first coins
Coinage - in the form of small metal discs, ingots or replicas of metal tools marked with information about their value or origin - first appeared in Asia Minor, India, and China during the 1st millennium BC.
From these areas originated the three major monetary traditions (Greek, Indian, and Chinese) that influence our modern ideas of how money should look and how it should be used.
Coinage was invented in the ancient kingdom of Lydia during the 7th century BC, in what is today central Turkey. The idea was quickly adopted by the Greeks and soon nearly every Greek city and colony from southern France to the northern shores of the Black Sea began to produce their own coins.
The Romans adopted coinage from the Greeks during the 3rd century BC and developed the first fully monetized society. Money was used in the daily transactions of the majority of Romans, creating a huge demand for coins.
The Romans took advantage of this demand and became masters at using coins as propaganda. They developed a "language" of abbreviations and symbols on coinage that is still used today.

State Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney announced Monday he has decided not to run for governor this year.
Sweeney said on his Facebook page his focus will center on keeping a Democratic majority in the state Legislature:
After careful consideration and much deliberation, I will not be a candidate for governor in 2013. I've decided my work now needs to be focused on ensuring the Legislature remains in Democratic control. Is there any question about the havoc and pain a Republican Legislature would inflict on the middle class, labor, women and our seniors? For over a decade, New Jersey voters have ensured we have a strong Democratic majority in both houses and I view it as absolutely essential and my job to keep that streak going. We will.
Sweeney, whose Third Legislative District covers all of Salem County and parts of Gloucester and Cumberland counties, was elected as a state senator in 2001. He began his term as Senate president in 2010. He also served on the Gloucester County Freeholder Board from 1997 to 2010.
New Jersey Democrats have struggled so far to put up a big name to challenge Republican Chris Christie for the governorship. Christie, who announced his re-election bid in November, has enjoyed a renewed surge of popularity following Superstorm Sandy. Even Democrats are behind him based on his approval ratings and his re-election polling numbers are very strong, reports Newsworks.
A Jan. 23 Quinnipiac University poll on hypothetical governor races showed Christie trouncing any opponent by at least a 2-to-1 margin. He outpolled Sweeney 61-25 percent in recent polling.
In addition to the nationwide attention Christie received — from a Saturday Night Live appearance to a fundraiser hosted by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg — the incumbent also got a significant jump on building his re-election war chest. At the start of 2013, Christie already had $2 million in the bank.
State Sen. Richard Codey, a West Orange-based Democrat who already served as acting governor after Jim McGreevey resigned, already said he won't run in 2013, The (Bergen) Record reports. Ditto for Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who is running for U.S. Senate for Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg's seat instead.
Right now, that leaves former state Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono as the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. An Edison carpenter, William Araujo, also threw his hat into the ring for the nomination.
New Jersey's primary election is on June 4. Candidates must file petitions to run by April 1.

Has anyone tried this ? I live close to this distillery and missed out on the first batch and was wondering peoples thoughts .
Has anyone tried this ? I live close to this distillery and missed out on the first batch and was wondering peoples thoughts .
Unfortunately, I wasn't disappointed. The nose on it is a lot of grain with a small hint of astringency. The taste of it is very grainy, heavy on alcohol with a slight bitterness. Otherwise it is mostly tastless. It reminds me a lot of Georgia Moon Corn Whiskey that I was given a few years ago which is not a good thing.
I'm glad I didn't shell out the $40 or so that a bottle is going for because this to me really isn't worth any more than what you would pay for a very low end well whiskey. My plans for this bottle is to share this with some friends that think whiskey is just something you use in a mixed drink.
Hopefully the distillery is taking a serious approach to bourbon and has just put this out to make money in the short term.
Speaking with relatives in the quad cities area this stuff barely hits the store shelves before disappearing. With the short supply of their product it sounds like they have similar marketing approach to Templeton Rye around the Des Moines area.
You can find me in chat most nights on days ending with the letter y!
I guess my money will be better spent on another bottle of Pappy's
Avoid it like the plague
Lead me not into temptation - I can find the way myself

As a local news organization, Patch covers stories of all kinds, from heartbreaking tragedies to inspiring tales of community brotherhood. But some stories are just plain weird. Here are some of the stranger headlines from the past seven days.
A hazardous material scare in Southampton this week put authorities on high alert as they rushed in, donning protective clothing, to inspect a suspicious metal container left outside of a physical therapy office.
What they found, however, was only hazardous to someone with a shellfish allergy.
The container was filled with discarded lobster shells and an empty bottle of French wine.
An office staffer later threw the garbage in a dumpster.
An impromptu heist of Pringles chips and a tall can of malt liquor has landed one man in jail.
According to Southampton police, a clerk working at the Shell Gas & Convenience Store in Riverside allegedly saw a man stuff a can of Pringles potato chips underneath his shirt and leave the store.
The man then came back into the store and allegedly grabbed a 24-ounce can of Colt 45 beer to wash it down with.
The man was later arrested, and bail was set at $2,500.
Cops say three men who attempted to burglarize an East Quogue home this week had one thing standing in the way of their heist: a dog.
Their solution was an obvious one. Police said the men fed the German Shepherd to distract him and break into the home. Unfortunately, they men didn't realize there was a person in the house too.
Police said the occupant chased the men away, and they were found by cops later when they were searching the area.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain Metastases
Stereotactic external beam irradiation (SEBI) has an important role in both the primary and secondary treatment of patients with metastatic brain malignancies. Dose and fractionation varies from patient to patient depending upon pathology, size, location, and prior treatments, including surgery and/or radiation. Also brain tolerance to radiation treatment varies in radiation volume, daily dose, total dose, and prior surgery, etc. It is always a challenge for both patients and physicians to weigh the risks and benefits of treatment to the brain with radiation. No radiosurgery treatments can be considered "standard" in this situation.
SEBI is considered by many investigators to be equivalent to surgical resection of solitary brain metastasis (Wronski M, et al. Journal of Neurosurgery, 1995; 83:605-616). Because of the relatively low incidence of inflammatory breast cancer, to my knowledge, SEBI for brain metastasis from inflammatory breast cancer has not been studied specifically. The outcome may be similar to other metastatic cancers if all other contributing factors are similar.
Your sister should discuss pros and cons of SEBI with her radiation oncologist.

Update: Longboat police officer terminated
Date: October 16, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longboat Key Police Officer Pati Beardsley was terminated Thursday, Oct. 15 by Police Chief Al Hogle after his department completed an internal investigation of her Sept. 16 arrest, in which she waved her department-issued handgun at a motorist that pulled into the driveway of her Sarasota home.
Beardsley's termination was expedited after she refused to be questioned by Hogle regarding the charges or be interrogated at a planned pre-disciplinary hearing.
Hogle's decision comes eight days after Beardsley was charged by the State Attorney's Office of the 12th Judicial Circuit for aggravated assault with a firearm.
Wrote Hogle in his memo to Beardsley dated Oct. 15: "I have decided to terminate your employment with the Town of Longboat Key effective Sept. 17, 2009, based on your conduct. Additionally, based on your disobedience to my direct order to appear before me to be interrogated about the charges against you, you have also violated the town's personnel rules and regulations."
According to a Sarasota County police report, a woman pulled into Beardsley's driveway at approximately 3 p.m. Sept. 16 to turn around after picking up her two children and another child at nearby Southside Elementary School.
As soon as the woman pulled into the driveway, Beardsley came out of her home, holding her gun at her hip and approached the white Chevrolet Suburban's passenger door.
According to the woman driving the vehicle, Beardsley, 50, approached the vehicle and pointed the gun at the passenger-side window while cursing, causing one of the children in the car to jump in the backseat and lay on the car's floorboard.
A man and his daughter who were also leaving the school observed Beardsley holding a gun as she approached the woman's car.
Officers who responded to the area interviewed Beardsley, who claimed she had approached the vehicle while cursing and pointing her cell phone at the passengers.
Beardsley did confirm she had a black Glock handgun inside her home, and she allowed police to observe it.
Beardsley, a police officer for the town for more than eight years, was placed on administrative leave with pay the day after the incident occurred.
After a 10-day appeal process passes, Hogle said the vacant police-officer position will be filled as soon as possible.

Mark McDonald and David Tepper, two former administrators at the DuPage County Forest Preserve, pleaded not guilty to charges they schemed to steal $150,000 from the forest preserve, the Daily Herald reported Tuesday.
McDonald, 52, of Wheaton and Tepper, 49, of River Forest were arraigned Tuesday on 140 charges each of theft, accepting kickbacks and official misconduct.
Keep up with Wheaton news: sign up for our free daily newsletter. Then like us on Facebook for a slightly different take.
Authorities say the men planned to bilk the forest preserve of about $150,000. In the first plan, involving McDonald's and Tepper's company Integrated Design Solutions, the two former employees billed and received more than $90,000 from the forest preserve for equipment and services that were never delivered from July 20, 2005 to November 7, 2011, according to a press release.
In the second scheme, officials say a third man, Arif Mahmood, acted as an employee of Alamach Technology Inc., and overbilled the forest preserve for contracted work from February 25, 2010 through November 7, 2011. He then subcontracted with Integrated Design Solutions in the amount overbilled for services that were never rendered, netting McDonald and Tepper more than $64,000 in kickbacks, according to the release.
Mahmood is charged with stealing more than $10,000 from the district, court records show. He also pleaded not guilty in DuPage County Court this week.
Tepper and McDonald are scheduled to return to court Jan. 16, according to the Herald.

"This software made analyzing DNA sequences much easier. Instead of having to hardcode or write programs for use, this software does much of the work for you. Additionally, the output images are helpful visualizations of the data."
The New Standard for Desktop-Based Bioinformatics Tools
CLC DNA Workbench provides a software environment which enables users to perform advanced DNA sequence analyses such as assembly of DNA sequence data, graphically and algorithmically advanced primer design, while offering user-friendly molecular cloning tools.
CLC DNA Workbench is a bioinformatics software package containing a range of specialized DNA analyses and bioinformatics tools for molecular biology. It is based on the CLC Free Workbench framework, and has similar work environment, user interface, and framework for graphical viewing. When using CLC DNA Workbench, researchers working in molecular biology labs will be able to do most daily bioinformatics work, including data management and reporting, in one single integrated and user-friendly software package.
Platform independent
CLC DNA Workbench is from the new generation of bioinformatics software - software that also runs on the latest versions of Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.
Efficient collaboration support
The full compatibility between all types of CLC workbenches provides strong support for efficient collaboration within research groups; advanced analyses and data searches can be performed on a CLC DNA Workbench, while more basic work tasks may be performed by the remaining researchers equipped with CLC Free Workbenches.
Throughout the project, all researchers can be given easy access to knowledge obtained through sharing of sequence data and sharing of research results. Examples could be figures showing annotated sequences, alignments and their underlying sequences, reports on DNA characteristics, phylogenetic trees, BLAST results etc.

Incumbent Marty Hodits is one of four candidates fighting over two Francis Howell Board of Education seats.
Hodits, a two-term member of the board who was first elected in 2006, is running again for a third term. He is competing against Steven Johnson, Marie Haupt and Eric Seider for one of the two spots.
Gearing up for the election, we'll have profiles of each of the four candidates. Next up, alphabetically, is Marty Hodits.
Marty Hodits: Candidate for Francis Howell Board of Education
Where do you live? 5252 Roanoke Drive, Weldon Spring, MO 63304
What is your current job and/or position? I am employed by the Boeing Company as a Facilities – Plant Engineer – Electrical. I have been with Boeing for the past 32 years.
Why are you running for School Board? When I first ran for the Board of Education six years ago student learning was my main issue and it is still the same today. Education is a life-long process and student educational needs are my first priority. All students deserve a high quality education whatever their learning ability.
Along with student learning, fiduciary responsibility is extremely important. The taxpayers of the Francis Howell School District, the Board of Education, and the central office administration of the district have continued to practice sound financial management to balance the needs of both students and taxpayers. Due to the downturn in the U.S., state, local and world economies the burden to finance public education is increasing on the local taxpayers. With the declining economies, the federal and state governments are still imposing laws and mandates on public education, which they are required to fund by law. These unfunded laws and mandates that are being imposed on all public school districts are placing additional funding burdens on local taxpayers. Whenever our governments impose laws and mandates on the public, I believe that they should be held accountable for funding as required by existing laws and not place the burden on local taxpayers.
Relevant Experience: The past six years I have been a member of the Francis Howell Board of Education. During this time I have served on the Policy and Facilities committees and attended the Professional Learning Community training and the annual Missouri School Board Association. Also, both of my sons received their K through 12 educations in the Francis Howell School District that provided them with the knowledge to continue their education and become successful businessmen.
What do you think you can bring to this position?
For the past six years I am proud to say that I am a member of the Board of Education for the Francis Howell School District that has changed course and is now focused on preparing students for the 21st Century. The use of technology, critical thinking skills, along with proficiency in math, communication arts (reading, language and writing), science and history are now the norms. I will continue to support these educational elements and the fine arts, sporting activities and extracurricular activities components of education.
A second item is the understanding of the fiduciary responsibility and knowledge of school budgets. For the past six years I have worked closely with the District's CFO Kevin Supple to understand all the different elements of a school budget and the mandates of our governments, how funds are obtained and can be used.
Please tell us about one goal you have for this position. To improve student learning and make sure that the District provides a curriculum necessary so every student will have the skills for the 21st Century. In order to do this the District must provide quality teachers and support staff to every student who enters any school within our District because every student deserves a high quality education whatever their learning ability.
What do you think is the biggest challenge facing the District? The way our governments want to regulate and fund public education. The public school systems are where most students receive their education. No other time in the history of the United States has public education faced the challenges that it does today.
Public school districts and all educators are being made the "whipping boy" of the U.S. Congress and the General Assembly of the State of Missouri. These two governmental bodies' mandates are the real issue with public education. Their mandates handicap all public education with rules, regulations and funding issues that take time away from educating students, forces all educators to be paper pushers and forces every local taxpayer to fund a greater portion of public education. It is my belief that these bodies of government should only establish guidelines for all educational institutions, provide funding as required by law and let the local communities determine how to educate the student.
Budget projections have Francis Howell faced with deficit spending in the not-so-distant future. What do you think the District should do to address the situation? By all projections from the District's CFO the Francis Howell School District could have to do some deficit spending starting next year. The deficit spending for FY2013 and 2014 will only spend down the increases in the fund balance that has occurred the past two years. The actual start of deficit spending could start in FY2016 when the automatic $0.20 rollback happens. Based on today's economic forecast by the federal and state governments they will not have the fiscal resources to fund education as required by the laws and mandates that they have burdened all school districts with. If there is no change in employment, housing and retail sales and the governments will not fund education as required, then the Board of Education will be forced to ask the local taxpayers to either fund education to meet the needs of all students or to cut the quality of education by increasing class sizes and lay off staff.
Howell Central and Howell North currently don't have a synthetic grass playing surface on their football fields. Should the district make it a priority to replace grass fields with field turf? The question is not "IF" but "WHEN" will Central and North get synthetic grass playing fields. At present, there is an agenda item on the April 5, 2012 Board of Education meeting to discuss "Future Bond Projects." At that time we should know the cost for all school improvement projects that have a direct influence on student learning. If the bids for the new HVAC systems at Fairmount and Barnwell follow the same pattern as all previous bids over the past four years they will come under budget then we will have sufficient funding to commit to installing the new playing fields. In order to have the new playing fields at Central and North the Board of Education needs to approve this expenditure by the last meeting in May.
Previous Francis Howell Candidate Profiles:
A request for information was sent out to each of the candidates and this is the response.
Note: Candidates and supporters should feel free to comment, but please keep things professional.No attacks, no name calling, no profanity. Thanks.

Fashion – An Everyday Phenomenon
Posted by in Fashion World on October 23, 2011
In this day and age, fashion is irrevocably relevant. Fashion is part of the world culture – from the pair of jeans you are wearing to the ways and behavior you are portraying or living. All of these fall into the scope of fashion.
When we talk about fashion, usually what comes to mind is clothing. One is considered "unfashionable" if the garments you wear are too old-looking while being "fashionable" is getting onto the bandwagon of whatever the trend is as of the moment. These however change over time. Thus, fashion progresses.
Fashion is closely linked to Western habits of constantly changing styles in clothing. The change usually is in association to the current economic and/or social condition. In the past one can easily recognize someone who belongs to the upper class by the way they dress from someone who is a peasant.

Posted by in Fashion World on October 20, 2011
These days, with the ever-dynamic fashion industry spreading its grasp globally, there are many fashion designers that are being encouraged to come up and showcase their work among the audiences, thanks to the tremendous scope this sector has presented. However, not all aspirants in this industry are capable of hosting fashion shows to attract the attention of the media and big fashion houses. It is for such kind of people that virtual fashion shows have evolved as a concept.
With the evolution of technology, the internet has touched our lives in more ways than one. Slowly entering into every sphere of our lives, it has shown us how simple things can be with a little smartness in everything. There have been many great and innovative ideas that have revolutionised industries at the click of a button, and quite literally at that!
With virtual fashion shows too, the internet has proven once again how it is an indispensable part of our lives. Just imagine, a fashion designer can showcase his/her entire collection by just uploading pictures of his/her creations on websites giving this provision, and can send the link to all the people he/she knows in the fashion industry to comment as well as spread it further to their connections. Think of it as a pseudo-social network of the fashion industry. Read the rest of this entry »

This week, to tell us their favorite spot for lunch. There were 129 votes cast, and finished in the top spot with more than 35 percent of the vote. was second with 13 percent of the vote. finished third with nine percent of the vote.
This week, we talked to Brewed Awakenings owner Kim Kaster about her first year in business. Saturday, Kaster is celebrating Brewed Awakenings' first anniversary.
Here is our conversation with Kaster.
Patch: So, what do you think after a year in business?
Kim Kaster: I am truly amazed at how well we have done this year. We are actually finishing in the black. Not a lot, but a little bit. I didn't expect to finish in the black in the first year
Patch: What were your expectations and why do you think you've beat those expectations?
Kaster: I am a money person and a numbers person. I had estimated how many people would come in each day and how much they would spend per person. I based my numbers on what I saw at the previous coffee shop I had worked at in the area. We've beaten all those numbers by quite a bit from day one. There has not been a day we didn't beat expectations.
Patch: Why is that?
Kaster: I think it's partly location. I also think it has a lot to do with community. This community has really supported me. Some of it, too, is that I have a great staff. They bring people back every day. I have a barista (Erica Smallwood) that everybody loves. She decorates the beverages with little foam decorations and if anyone comes in and wants a drink we don't have, she knows how to make it.
Patch: Downtown Saline has several coffee shops and it's very walkable with shops nearby. What's the plus to this location?
Kaster: There is a lot of traffic and we have easy in-and-out access and lots of parking. The other factor is that the other businesses in here send us a lot of customers. We couldn't do it without them. This entire shopping center has been really supportive.
Patch: What's been the biggest surprise in your first year as owner?
Kaster: I think the biggest surprise is the way the baked goods have taken off.
Patch: Do you have a signature item?
Kaster: Our scones. We make them fresh every day. People come from everywhere to come and get them. We've had people from Britain visiting the area who've commented about how much they loved our scones. They are different than the scones overseas. They are soft and not crumbly.
Patch: Did you know going in that scones was going to be the winner?
Kaster: I didn't. I knew they'd be popular. I wanted something that nobody else around here offered and I knew that making everything from scratch would make us unique. But I did not know they would take off like they did.
Patch: Brewed Awakenings has hosted local bands, previews by the Saline Area Players, Open Mic nights ...
Kaster: We're trying to support the local arts and give people a place to show their work. We've offered some of the students discounts to come in and play during open mic nights. We have their photography on the walls. We're working with teachers to have some of the Saline High School photography students come in and showcase their work.
Patch: How are you celebrating your anniversary Saturday?
Kaster: All day long we have have raffles going on for prizes, including free coffee for a month and baked goods. We'll be sampling our menu items all throughout the day. We'll have games. We'll be decorated with balloons. At 2 p.m., someone is brining in a very cool looking cake. Mayor (Gretchen) Driskell, the Pittsfield Township Supervisor (Mandy Grewal), Saline Area Schools Superintendent Scot Graden, and officials from the Saline Area Chamber of Commerce are coming. A lot of my employees are former employees are going to be here. I'd like to get a picture to celebrate the great year we've had. At night, we'll have a band called Bad Television, a young group from the high school. They actually played at our grand opening. So we're coming full circle.
Patch: With a year in the books, what is your outlook for the future?
Kaster: You know, it's still going to be a whole lot of hard work. I don't want to sit back and say that, "Well, we've been successful, and that it will just keep going." But I do have a very positive outlook. We haven't slowed down. We still have high momentum. I had figured that after the first two or three months, the momentum would slow down, but it hasn't. Every day we get more and more new customers.
Brewed Awakenings is located in the plaza at Michigan Avenue and State Street. For more information, visit the website. You can also find out more on the Brewed Awakenings Facebook page, or by following the business on Twitter.

A Chickasha High School student's artistic talent has added new vision to the Sophocles tragedy, "Oedipus Rex."
Jo Perryman, a Chickasha High School English Teacher, gave her class a creative assignment: turn "Oedipus Rex" into a cartoon strip.
Marleana Morrow, a sophomore in Perryman's Pre-AP English II class, turned in a project that caught her teacher's eye.
Morrow's rendering of the Athenian tragedy features knob limbed characters with expressive faces and side notes that cue the atmosphere of certain panels, such as "*BOOM MORE Dramatic music to set the mood*" in the last strip where Jocasta commits suicide.
Morrow also uses humor in a subtle, playful tone such as characters communicating using two cans tied together with a string.
Morrow said she thought the classic tale was interesting, if a little odd.
"I never really came across a story like it. Since it was so different I thought I would lighten it up a bit by adding a little humor," she said.
How did the young artist develop her quirky style?
"The style I've developed over the years is cartoonish, but I've been trying to practice my realistic drawing when I can," Morrow said.
The student's artistic ability may run in the family.
"My mother is an artist so it influenced me to draw ever since I was a young one. I used to draw all the time, but now I don't have much time for it. I would love to have more free time to practice drawing," Morrow said.
The Chickasha High School student said she has considered majoring in an artistic field, but that it seems like more of a dream than reality.
Perryman is proud of her student's efforts.
"The assignment is not about the artwork but … wow! I thought her work was good," Perryman said.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — Salem's Haunted Happenings celebration will have more than 150 events throughout October and promises something for everyone, from trick-or-treating and the annual zombie walk to live theater, arts and music events.
"It's just a really festive month to be in Salem," said Kate Fox, executive director of Destination Salem, the city's tourism office. "Haunted Happenings is a tremendous, collaborative effort ... There's such a range. It goes from the historic to the haunted and pure entertainment, plus food and shopping."
Destination Salem compiles all of October's events, as well as maps and other information at their website, www.hauntedhappenings.org. They're continually adding updates and events to the calendar, said Fox.
This year, a new open market will set up on the Essex Street pedestrian mall for the last three weekends in October. The city has contracted New England Open Markets, the organization that created the popular SoWa Open Market in Boston's South End, to manage it. Arts and crafts vendors will set up on Essex Street and Derby Square Saturdays and Sundays beginning Oct. 12.
On Oct. 20, a coordinated "flash mob" dance will take over the Salem common. Organized by Salem State University students, the event is in the theme of Lady Gaga's song "Born this Way," said Fox, and participants are encouraged to come in costume. Dance lessons to learn the choreography will be given before the flash mob at the Boys and Girls Club on Hawthorne Boulevard.
In addition to the city's lineup of haunted houses, cemetery tours and ghost stories at the Witch House and House of Seven Gables, several new events promise thrills and chills, said Fox.
Cinema Salem will host "Scary Mary and the Audio Corsette," an event Fox described as "a 1980's rock horror spectacle" Saturdays at midnight. The R-rated program will have live music and a film, created and directed by Kevin Letourneau of Salem.
Also new this year is a program called Witch Hunter at Pioneer Village, a living history museum set in 1630. The village will open on Saturday evenings, Oct. 13, 20 and 27, for people to walk through for a first-hand experience of Salem's witch hysteria.
Tomorrow is the zombie walk, when locals dress up as the undead. Zombies will meet at Collins Cove Beach on East Collins Street at 3 p.m. and will head through the city. Afterwards, several events are planned to raise money for the Wounded Warriors Project, a nonprofit that aids wounded veterans.
On the other end of the spectrum, family-friendly movies, such as "Hocus Pocus" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" will be shown every Saturday night at 6:30 on Salem Common. On Oct. 28, a special trick-or-treat event will be held at 5 p.m. on Pickering Wharf, followed by a children's party at Finz restaurant.
"People are being creative and inventing new events (for Haunted Happenings)," said Fox. "People come back (to Salem) to do their favorites, and it adds so much to the experience to have the new things as well."
For a full listing of events, updates, maps, directions and other details, visit www.hauntedhappenings.org or www.salem.org

Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering
Bank Secrecy Act Examination Program Overview
The FDIC has prescribed in its regulations, Section 326, Subpart B- Procedures for Monitoring Bank Secrecy Act Compliance (12 CFR Part 326.8) a requirement that depository institutions establish and maintain procedures reasonably designed to assure and monitor the compliance with the BSA and the implementing regulations 31 CFR 103. The FDIC monitors compliance with the BSA-related regulations by conducting on-site examinations of every FDIC-supervised depository institutions. BSA compliance is a safety and soundness issue due to the reputational, regulatory, legal, and financial risk exposure to the bank for being involved in money laundering schemes or willfully violating the BSA statute. Civil money penalties and regulatory enforcement actions may be imposed for noncompliance with money laundering regulations which can endanger capital and earnings. Furthermore, banks may be criminally prosecuted for willful violations of money laundering statutes, which could ultimately lead to termination of FDIC insurance.

Playing in a band could open up new musical horizons for local students, if they can afford it. To help ensure those talents are tapped, the Medford Jazz Festival wants people to check their closets.
"There are a lot of children that want to get involved with band," said Cory TenBrink, organizer of Medford Jazz Festival's used instrument program. "They just can't afford the instruments."
As an example, TenBrink noted that a new tuba can cost $5,000.
Musical instruments may be dropped off at the Medford Chamber of Commerce, 101 E. Eighth St., Medford or the offices of ComNet Marketing Group, 1214 Stowe Ave., Medford.
Local pickup can be arranged online at www.medfordjazz.org. Click on "Instrument Donation Program" on the left side of the page.
The Medford Jazz Festival is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. For more information, call the Chamber at 541-779-4847.
The organization also accepts donations to cover the cost of musical instrument rental sponsorships for students, which is $150 per student.
"That's an area we can step in and hopefully make a difference," he said. "Not many students and families have a duffel bag of cash labeled 'tuba.' "
Because new instruments can be so expensive, TenBrink said, the Jazz Festival hopes to collect and refurbish donated used instruments from people in the community who no longer use them.
"What we're going to do is we're collecting basically instruments in any condition from around the valley," he said. "We're going to pay internally here to refurbish them, and then we'll distribute them to the public schools."
According to TenBrink, the refurbishing process can be extensive, depending on the instrument. A used trumpet may need its valves replaced, or the neck of a violin may need to be straightened.
Once repaired, each instrument will be provided as a "loaner" instrument to a local school with a need for it.
In addition to soliciting community donations, TenBrink is seeking out instrument manufacturers' "B stock" — new instruments that may be chipped, cracked or otherwise damaged.
The program is important to TenBrink, who knows personally how music education can help a student.
"I was a musician myself," he said. "I won the Music for Youth Scholarship when I was 18."
The scholarship gave him and his band the opportunity to pursue music in Los Angeles for several years.
"I know the impact it can have — getting the student who's at one level and getting them to another level," TenBrink said.
TenBrink says the Jazz Festival has met with music teachers across the valley to get feedback on what instruments are in demand.
"We've met with all the teachers, and they'll give us a list," he said.
"The need is so great. I mean, any and all instruments (are needed)."
To help get the word out, TenBrink plans to open a booth during the Jazz Festival under the banner "We want what's in your closet."
The festival runs Friday through Sunday, Oct. 12-14, at various Medford locations. For more information, see www.medfordjazz.org.
"The more face time we have, the more they'll think of us first instead of just listing it on Craigslist," he said.

"Pan seared flat iron steaks are served with mushrooms and shallots in a balsamic red wine sauce. I like these steaks because they are tender, but not so lean that they get tough if you over cook them."

Original recipe yields 3 steaks
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cut the flat iron steak into individual portions if needed. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Fry the steaks until browned on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place in an oven proof dish. Set steaks in the oven to continue cooking.
- Add shallots and whole cloves of garlic to the hot skillet. Cook and stir over medium heat until shallots are starting to brown. Add mushrooms to the pan; cook and stir until they shrink some, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pour the balsamic vinegar into the pan with the mushrooms and stir to remove any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Pour in the red wine and simmer for a few minutes over medium heat.
- Return the steaks to the skillet and cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 5 minutes if at all. Remove the whole pan from the heat and let stand until steaks reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), or your desired degree of doneness.

I slivered the garlic which gave it more flavor. This could be a little more saucy. Next time I'll add some broth or stock and finish it with butter.

My family just devoured this meal, not a drop left in the pan! I did cut back on the balsamic to 1/8 cup and I added more wine and used 1/2 teaspoon of 'Better than Bullion' to the sauce. I left my steak whole and cooked it about 5-8 min. longer in the oven. I then sliced with my electric knife and served on egg noodles. So easy to make. Will do again and again!
YUMMMMMMMM!!!!!! I left out the mushrooms (didn't have any) and added large chunks of onion. Used a sprinkle of Nature Season while cooking the meat and onions. Otherwise I followed exactly. This was delicious! The whole family liked it! I may have liked a little more sauce with the finished product, but it was not dry at all and had a delicious flavor throughout! I will use mushrooms next time...and there will certainly be a next time!!!! Thanks!!

I spent the past few days at a lacrosse tournament at impeccable facilities not too far from Fort Mill and yet most of my time was spent wondering why fields and events like that couldn't be held in the town itself.
Several times a year, my kids have played over weekends at Manchester Meadows in Rock Hill or Elon Park in South Charlotte at huge events. We are talking about sporting contests that have drawn teams from all over the country. Rock Hill has even hosted the Youth National Soccer Championships. Even at smaller tournaments, you usually can plan on seeing close to 50 teams participate. You know what 50 teams brings? Groups of parents, grandparents, family and friends to cheer them on. It might even result in a lot of bored siblings hating their lot in life, but surely eyeing a sugary snack or a cooling treat to ease them through the painful boredom.
It results in people needing to fuel up – both their bodies and vehicles – and it results in people needing to rest, preferably on a soft pillow in an air-conditioned hotel room.
In a few, short years, my children will be leaving the youth events for high school sports, but I can't help but think Fort Mill is primed to take advantage of our location and wealth of land to create a destination to host major events. With the Leroy Springs contract ending in a few years and uncertainty over what will happen to those facilities, it becomes an even bigger concern.
I know there are hurdles to overcome. Youth facilities don't have the glitz and glamour of business parks and strip malls, especially those that are half-inhabited. They don't have the panache of big warehouse buildings that rotate tenants every time the economy cycles downward. They also need to have serviceable hotels nearby, which might require cleaning up those overnight establishments by the interstate that have people in stilettos cruising the parking lots and at least one person impersonating an FBI agent approaching patrons in the halls.
However, the upside of having a top-notch sports center is huge. Fort Mill is already a destination due to the excellent school system, and the last time I looked, those schools are filled with active kids. Fort Mill is easily accessible to travelers from both the south and north, and we can provide more affordable options for budget-minded participants. I'd almost even claim we have a huge expanse ready to be converted to fields where the Knights Castle is, but that land is already staked out by the Cato Corp.
I don't know about you, but holding the Annual Cato Classic at the Cato Complex sounds kind of catchy.

we love to analyze. we're processors, hyper-vigilant. checking, re-checking. writing it down. holding it up in front of the light – comparing it against older carbons.
except, i don't take any of that as seriously now. i consider its worth to be somewhere on the level of a reality TV show; it's mostly entertainment value.
because what has a life of over-analyzation in the depths of conformation brought me up to this point? nothing but disappointment, anxiety, depression, poverty, heartbreak, abuse, a nervous breakdown, 100 pounds of extra fat, premature hair-loss, etc – and i'm not even 30 yet. well screw that. i finally discovered how to put all that computation in its place and be alive.
now i ride this coaster (that i used to fear) and love it for a lot more. hands up, baby. the only questions are simple ones: is it fun? do i want this? am i happy?
so guys & gals, i'm passing the baton. someone else can carry the torch for the next leg of martyrdom – i won't be available. i'll be somewhere hot, steamy, tropical.
you're responsible for you. i'm responsible for me. for my life & the people i choose to allow or invite into it. if you don't like it, don't like them, don't approve of my happiness, don't agree with my decisions – vaya con dios. you think you are anyway.
oh, and the recipe for that look:
1 part admiration
1 part desire
1 part reflection
2 parts mystery ingredient-an old family secret (*wink*)
look…a corkscrew! love those! wheeeeeeeee……

Judiciary of Norway
The judiciary of Norway is hierarchical with the Supreme Court at the apex. The conciliation boards only hear certain types of civil cases. The District Courts are deemed to be the first instance of the Courts of Justice. Jury (High) Courts are the second instance and the Supreme Court is the third instance.
The king has the right in the Council of State to pardon criminals after sentence has been passed. This right is seldom used and always by the elected government in the name of the King.
The structure of the courts of justice is hierarchical and hierarchic with the Supreme Court at the apex. The conciliation boards only hear certain types of civil cases. The District Courts are deemed to be the first instance of the Courts of Justice. Jury (High) Courts are the second instance and the Supreme Court is the third instance.
Supreme Court[edit]
The Supreme Court is Norway's highest court of justice and the instance of appeal for verdicts handed down by courts of a lower level. The court is situated in Oslo. The decisions made here are final and cannot be appealed or complained against. The only exception is for cases that can be brought before the Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg.
Interlocutory Appeals Committee[edit]
Three of the Supreme Court judges form the Interlocutory Appeals Committee. This committee has to agree that a case is to be brought before the Supreme Court.
Courts of appeal[edit]
The country is divided into six appellate districts. Each court of appeal (Norwegian: lagmannsrett) is headed by a senior judge president and each Court of Appeal has several appellate judges. The courts are:
- Borgarting Court of Appeal in Oslo
- Eidsivating Court of Appeal in Hamar
- Agder Court of Appeal in Skien
- Gulating Court of Appeal in Bergen
- Frostating Court of Appeal in Trondheim
- Hålogaland Court of Appeal in Tromsø
District courts[edit]
The district courts (Norwegian: tingrett) are the first instance of the courts of justice. There are 83 district courts.
Conciliation boards[edit]
A conciliation board is allocated to each municipality. Each conciliation board consists of three laymen and an equal number of deputies elected or appointed by the municipality council for terms of four years. Conciliation boards are to mediate between disputing parties and are widely authorised to pronounce a verdict. The majority of civil disputes are resolved by the conciliation boards. Conciliation boards do not hear criminal cases, and the participation in their hearings are voluntary.
Special courts[edit]
There are special courts that hear or process issues not covered by the District Courts:
- The Industrial Disputes Tribunal: This court deals with cases pertaining to labour legislation, for example wage disputes.
- The Land consolidation courts: Their main task is to find acceptable solutions for ownership disputes and issues concerning correct land usage.
Lay judges[edit]
In the district courts of Norway, lay judges sit alongside professional judges in mixed courts in most cases.[1] In most cases, 2 lay judges sit alongside 1 professional judge, whereas for serious cases (where a penalty of more than 6 years may be imposed) 3 lay judges sit alongside 2 professional judges.[1] Decisions are made by simple majority.[1]
Lay judges are not considered to be representative of the population.[1] About 75% of lay judges are nominated by the political parties in Norway.[1]
In the district courts of Norway, 10 jurors sit alongside 3 professional judges where a penalty of more than 6 years may be imposed.[2] In complicated cases, the number of jurors may be increased to 11 or 12.[2] The 3 professional judges may remove the case to a mixed court if they believe the evidence for the defendants guilt is insufficient.[2]
Jurors are selected from the municipal resident register.[2]
Juries have been in use since 1887.[2] There have been recent proposals to abolish jury trials in Norway.[2]
