The release of the Range Rover Evoque makes it clear that land Rover is confident enough in the brand to shift their focus from its core values. The explosion of the most recent Range Rover models, including the sport; into mainstream luxury automotive portfolio's has shown Land Rover that they can compete with the best on every level. No single vehicle matches the current Range Rover in terms of style, capability, and refinement. The major downside to must urban dwellers owning a Range Rover is that they will never fully experience its capabilities as an off-road machine. This is where Land Rover will attempt to fill a need with the Evoque.
Once upon a time someone would mention Land Rover and an image would flash in my mind of a yellow Defender 110 trudging through some African jungle on a Camel Trophy race. Those days may be gone, but Land Rover hopes to enter the forefront of the consumers mind when thinking about mid-size SUV's full of luxury appointments. The segment is crowded and includes big players from BMW , Mercedes , and Audi. It seems that Land Rover has learned a lot from its Ford and BMW days and is poised to release its 3 different versions of the Evoque.
It will be the smallest, lightest, and most fuel efficient Range Rover ever made. The term, "Range Rover " must be taken with a grain of salt, because yes Land Rover is tagging this new model as a Range Rover Evoque instead of simply a new line. Nonetheless, it seems that prices will fall in the $45,000 range depending on which model you choose. Head to Land Rover's website to use the Evoque configurator and build your own.
Hit the jump for more details on the Range Rover Evoque
UPDATE 04/04/2011: Land Rover UK has announced that the new Evoque model will go on sale with prices ranging from £27,955 ($44,800) for an eD4 Pure 5-door 6 Speed manual 2WD model to £44,320 ($71,000) for the Si4 Dynamic with LUX Pack 6 Speed Automatic 4WD version. The company has also put up an online cofigurator so customers can configure the Evoque of their dreams.
UPDATE 07/01/2011: Land Rover has announced the US prices for the 2012 Evoque SUV scheduled to go on sale this fall. The Evoque will be offered at a starting price of $43,995 for the five-door, and $44,995 for the coupe. It will deliver a fuel economy of 28 mph on the highway and 19 mpg city.
Press release after the jump.
It is great to see a car company truly follow through on one of their concept vehicles. All too often the out of this world designs seen at the world's largest car shows will be big news that weekend, but forgotten by Monday. In 2008 Land Rover introduced the LRX concept vehicle at the Detroit International Auto Show and has taken cues from it as well as the Range Stormer concept into the new Evoque. The new design is a welcome exception from the normal Land Rover styling, as well as the many awkward crossover SUV's from the competition.
It truly is evocative, the high beltline and floating roofline make this Land Rover look as though it should be from 2050, not 2011. Large wheel arches and a strong shoulder help give the Evoque its muscular stance and optional 20" wheels match perfectly. The roofline is sloped backwards and even as the car sits in a parking lot it seems to be moving forward rapidly. It proportions are also new territory for Land Rover with the Evoque measuring 17 inches shorter than the current Sport model. Another unique feature for these will be the headlights and taillights. LED light-blade technology creates a 3-dimensional jewel pattern giving the lights their very own personality.
The Evoque will be offered in both 3 door and 5 door variants making it versatile for differing customers. Land Rover will offer three different trim lines for the two vehicles; Pure, Prestige, and Dynamic. Consider Pure to be the entry level model which will also be the start of the price point. The Prestige is equivalent to the most luxurious option. It includes unique 19-inch wheels, sparkling metallic exterior details, and an interior wrapped entirely in leather. Dynamic trim is the sportiest version and truly gives the Evoque a sinister feel. Unique bumpers and 20-inch wheels combine with new sills, grille, and tailpipes to make the vehicle more aggressive. A contrasting color roof and spoiler are optional.
Lighting plays a large role within the cabin of the Evoque and this can be seen as soon as the driver opens his door. A choreographed display of different accent lighting and instrument lighting begins to turn on and welcome you into the cabin. At the same time the circular shift knob rises from the center console. Colors can be changed by the driver based upon their mood, but sport mode will give the interior an intense red glow and gauges will follow suit.
The Prestige line features an interior most akin to the big brother Range Rover with every surface wrapped in leather. Two-tone color schemes complete with twin-needle stitching help make this one comfortable place to spend time. It also helps to separate itself from the lower-end crowd by including real wood and metal finishes in various places. The Dynamic package includes a much more heavily bolstered seat and perforated leather for that sporty feel.
All models will receive the 8-inch touch screen control and navigation unit fitted prominently in the center of the dash. Its Bluetooth capabilities and various USB and auxiliary inputs make this car fit right in with the tech savvy clients of today. Land Rover has been developing new audio systems with Meridian and the Evoque will obtain their first collaboration. The 17 speaker system will use 825 Watts of power, which should be more than enough for any audiophile.
Other options include:
Surround Camera System with five digital cameras, and reverse system.
Dual-Zone climate control
HDD Navigation System
Rear seat entertainment package
Keyless Entry System
Adaptive Headlamps with auto dipping
Heated windscreen, front seats, and steering wheel
Land Rover realizes that becoming more sustainable is a major hurdle to get over as the company keeps producing large V8 based SUV's. The Evoque will be the first vehicle in the lineup to make up for everything else. It uses a 240hp 2.0-liter Si4 turbocharged engine. The use of direct fuel injection and twin variable valve timing make the engine powerful and efficient. I would not plan on beating your neighbors Range Rover Supercharged in a quarter-mile, but you will be driving the most fuel efficient Land Rover ever. The low Co2 technologies incorporate power assisted steering, smart regenerative charging, and an optimized transmission.
Land Rover has also gone to great lengths in creating a vehicle for the urban jungle as well as something that does not lose the very essence of what the company was founded upon. Adaptive dynamics uses Magna Ride dampers to provide enhance balance, nimble handling, and a controlled ride. The Evoque will still use the Terrain Response system found in its siblings to adapt to changing conditions both on and off-road.
This new model will fit in with the Mercedes GLK, BMW X3, and Audi Q5. Less refined competition comes from nearly every other manufacturer today and the mid-size SUV market has become one of the largest. The biggest advantage Land Rover has is coming into the game late. They have been able to see what other companies are doing and tailor their formula accordingly. The Evoque will make the biggest statement out of anything in its class and when driving a Range Rover is anything else really more important? Different trim levels, 3 or 5 doors, and tons of options make the Evoque something that each customer can truly make their own. You can have a sporty 3-door Range Rover Stormer or a 5-door miniature Range Rover HSE. Even though the Land Rover faithful may find the Evoque an abomination to the off-road legend, it will undoubtedly find a home in the urban landscapes that these crossovers dominate.

A cooling workhorse!

Comments about GE 5,050 BTU Window Air Conditioner:
Our central air conditioner unit needed to be replaced, but not until the floor was ripped out and replaced. So...we needed alternate means of keeping the house cool. We bought just two of these little units and they basically kept the entire house cool! The utility bill was even comparable to using the central A/C.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

It's a little noisy, but it keeps me cool and comfortable.
Cools off great!
By wonderfulife
from Philadelphia, Pa
The price was good. It gets very cold. However, the only thing I don't like about it is it's extremely noisy. Also, very compact and easy to install in a window.

About Me Value Oriented
I bought this for my daughters room. Her window is very small so I was overjoyed finding out there was an ac that fit her window. It was very easy for dh to install. Once he turned it on it sounded like someone with a flat tire was outside her window. It is absolutely awful!! Please do not waste your money. I am extremely disappointed!!!!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Freezes up
By Nina444
from Chicago, IL, United States
We received this model last weekend NEW as a gift and installed it and right away on the coldest setting and it froze, on the regular cold it froze, on medium cold it froze..... we are returning this unit this weekend and going with the competitor since the one we have never froze!!! I'm not a happy customer if you cant tell
You get what you pay for...
By Dawnmarie
from NY,NY
This thing is so loud and obnoxious. When I turned it on my initial reaction was "It sounds like a helicopter is right outside my window!" It took 2 hours to drop 2 degrees. It's so irritating to listen to, sleeping with this unit on I would imagine is impossible. The bottom bracket where you are supposed to slide the vent sleeve in was bent so I had to bend it back for it to slide in. In all honesty, do yourself a favor if you can and spend a couple extra bucks for a better unit. Don't waste your money.
Quiet & Cold

We bought this A/C for a small spare bedroom. It was easy to install and blows nice and cold. Even better, it's quiet! Good buy and the price was very reasonable.

packs a punch!
By SampleVix
from Albany, NY, United States
we don't have central air, and our childrens room needed some type of air conditioning in their room over the summer. We have an older home and most large floor air conditioners would cause our breakers to go off. so this conditioner was perfect. it was low wattage to keep out outlets from blowing up. It kept the kids room very cool and honestly did not have to leave it on at all times, sometimes it'd get too cold. LOL. was easy to install in the window and take down in the fall. I also enjoyed have the buttons up top so that the kids couldn't grab and touch.

Haley Van Schaick, Ryan and Aaron Gold, all with Type 1 diabetes participated in a meeting with Congressman Jim Gerlach in Washington DC as they advocated for diabetes research funds. The three were part of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Government Day on March 15, 2011 when hundreds of citizens met with Congress people to encourage funding for diabetes research.
Haley, 16 (diagnosed when she was 11) is on both a pump and a continuous glucose monitor. She writes about her day, "I was telling them about how even though these machines are great, they are not perfect and they are in no way a cure. I mentioned the scars that diabetes leaves on my body and how one day it would be nice to look at myself without that remembrance. "
Ryan, and his twin brother, Aaron (age 9) were diagnosed a year and a half apart from each other. Both boys write, "We were asking the congressmen to support a bill for the artificial pancreas. We also asked them not to cut the budget that supports diabetes. They seemed supportive and hopefully will sign the bill."
Haley was also encouraged and said, "I had an amazing time doing the JDRF government day. It was fun, and I learned a lot. I think by going we made a huge difference. Through learning about the artificial pancreas and learning about the cure funding, I have no doubt in my mind that one day I will be diabetes free."
We thank Haley, Ryan and Aaron for taking the time to meet with their Congressman. We hope that the time spent in Washington pays off and that one day there will be a cure for diabetes.

We make plans and God laughs… with that said there are 5 weeks, give or take a few days, left in 2012 and it's around this time every year that I start to think about my plans for the coming year. I take a snapshot of where I am in life and where I would like to be. It's not as intense as it sounds, trust me, but I do get down and dirty into the stuff of goals, achievements and dreams.
To prepare for the new year I do a few things: meditation session to clear out old spirits, retiring journals and starting new ones. It's all a big to do to get me pumped! Cue Rocky theme music and me in the gym hitting the punching bag. It's me against 2013.
OK, dramatic much? Yes. But in all seriousness, it pays to be prepared, organized and ready to have a great year. And why wait until the ball drops to get a clear idea on what you want to accomplish in the next 12 months. In the past few years I've done many of these things to get ready for a new year and while no one knows what the year will bring these are all tried and true traditions to get your mind right and your heart in the right place to take on 2013.
New planners are a blank slate. You're leaving behind all of the plans, appointments and to-dos of the last year and moving into the new year with a fresh start. My favorites are Moleskine, Anne Taintor. I'm coveting a mega-planner from Erin Condren.
It's never too early to plan a vacay, the sooner the better actually. If there's a destination you've been dying to see now is the time to map out a plan to get there. Start your research, find cool boutique hotels, request time off and start your savings plans to make your vacation dreams come true. Wanderfly is a great travel wishlist and helps plan affordable vacations.
Vision boards have exploded! They are having their moment in the cultural zeitgeist and with good reason. Having all of your dreams, goals and visions in front of you keeps them top of mind and studies have shown they help order your steps to be able to accomplish them. Plus creating vision boards is such a fun exercise. Invite a few friends over, pull out the old magazines and photos and collage your way to your dreams.
Every year I outline where I would like to be, career-wise, by the end of the year. Am I fancying a promotion? What certifications do I want to have? How much freelance work can I handle? While some of your career plans are out of your control (hiring, raises, etc…) your plan for your career totally is. By having a plan you can make better career decisions to get you to your dream job.
September may be the start of the fashion new year, but every new year I take time to assess my style and what looks I need to retire and styles I'd like to try. This year I've been heavy on the black and bringing back the color (and the sexy) is high on my style priority list. This is also a great time to retire old pieces that are not working. Donate them or give them away to friends. Let the clutter go!
CLEAN HOUSE. No Literally, CLEAN YOUR HOUSE
Spring cleaning has nothing on new year cleaning. Break out the Pledge and go to town on your baseboards, carpets and laundry. Start 2013 with a fresh feeling and scent. Growing up my mother always spent the first day of the New Year cooking black eyed peas and cleaning house.
With about a month left in 2012, it's a good time to start working on your blog/site/business plans for 2013. Get ahead of monthly holidays, trends and map out your standard/evergreen content. Remember to create a cushion for breaking news and life events. No need to plan out a stringent plan but a loose layout will put you ahead of the game.
Every year I say I'm going to cut my hair. And maybe 2013 will be the year I actually do it. Who knows? But it sure is fun to contemplate a new hairstyle, revamping my look and thinking about what life would be like with a pixie cut. Maybe this will the year you try bangs or go red!
These are just a few ways to get ready for the New Year's arrival. Aside from decking your halls, stocking up on confetti and noisemakers, what other things are you doing to prepare for the new year?

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is speaking out on the president's re-election.
The two have had a tense relationship over the past four years. Who could forget that moment on the tarmac when Governor Brewer pointed her finger at the president?
Brewer said she was disappointed that Mitt Romney did not win, but will try to work with the Obama administration.
"I will continue to pursue communications with him and the administration for the people of Arizona, but I'm not going to back down on the things that Arizona believe in, I'm going to keep fighting for the right things," said Brewer.
Governor Brewer also weighed in on the gridlock in Washington.
"They're going to have to work together, they're going to have to do that for the wellbeing of our country. We're in crisis, we need to work together, we need to solve problems."
After winning his second term, President Obama called congressional leaders, saying he wants bipartisan support in reducing the deficit, creating jobs, and helping middle-class families and small businesses.
Wednesday, the Republican House Speaker offered to work out a deal with the president that would include higher taxes.
"For purposes of forging a bipartisan agreement that begins to solve the problem, we're willing to accept new revenue, under the right conditions. What matters is where the increased revenue comes from, and what type of reform comes with it," said Rep. John Boehner, Republican House Speaker.
The lame duck congress now has to tackle the country's fiscal cliff:
A combination of Bush-era tax breaks and a trillion dollars' worth of automatic spending cuts are set to go into effect in January.

Looks like their prayers might be answered as Spurs's Harry Kane divert's Andy Carroll's header into his own net midway through the half Stewart Downing makes it two just before half-time when he squeezes his free-kick though the gap caused by both Paulinho and Adebayor turning their backs on the ball. West Ham have the better of the second half and players such as Matthew Taylor pepper Tottenham's goal with shots; it's only the sparkling form of Spur keeper Hugo Lloris who keeps the score down. The three points keep the Hammers in the top flight. Final score: West Ham United 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur Aston Villa v Hull City Suppose you have to be, supporting Villa That optimism has paid off as in the first minute Ashley Westwood fired a shot into the bottom right corner to give Villa the lead After Bowery put into his own net to gift Hull back int the game, two goals from Andreas Weimann just before half-time put the home side back in control of the match The win all but secured Premier League safety for Paul Lambert's side which was the cue for much relief around Villa Park. Final score: Aston Villa 3-1 Hull City Manchester United v Sunderland Wonder if how strong the Giggs effect will be today? Not very is the answer as Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson fired home into the bottom left corner to open the scoring after half an hour Fabio Borini is brought down by Michael Carrick Sunderland keeper Vito Mannone, here with United's Javier Hernandez, had a quiet afternoon as the home side offered very little in attack This managing business is a bit harder than Giggs maybe thought after last week. It's a good win for Sunderland and their manager Gus Poyet which puts them three points clear of the relegation zone and heaps pressure on Norwich ahead of their match with Chelsea on Sunday. Final score: Manchester United 0-1 Sunderland Newcastle United v Cardiff City Programmes with different covers on sale showing the different nationalities of Newcastle United players represented in the 2014 World Cup Midway through the first half Shola Ameobi's header from Moussa Sissoko's cross gave the home side the lead Fraizer Campbell misses a chance to give the bottom club a lifeline There's the usual smattering of anti-Ashley and anti-Pardew banners scattered around the ground. Some are quite well done ... Whilst others are a bit more basic. A sizeable number of Magpies fans walked out after 69 minutes in protest at the running of the club Two late goals from Loic Remy and Steven Taylor snuff out a late rally by Cardiff and the defeat sends the Welsh side back into the Championship. Final score: Newcastle United 3-0 Cardiff City Stoke City v Fulham Run lad, you don't want to miss a good autograph hunting spot Fulham's John Heitinga avoids a low flying Steven N'Zonzi David Stockdale beats away a Stoke shot but the Fulham keeper is beaten in the 39th minute by a close range left footed shot from Peter Odemwingie Bad news for Scott Parker and his Fulham team-mates as Marko Arnautovic fired home a second early in the second half Things go from bad to worse just under twenty minutes later when Oussama Assaidi's close range finish makes it 3-0. It looks very much like the Fulham fans will be watching Championship football next season Kieran Richardson pulled one back for the visitors before Jonathan Walters finished off the rout two minutes later The defeat meant that Ashkan Dejagah and his Fulham team-mates were relegated, ending the West London side's 13-year stay in the Premier League. Final score: Stoke City 4-1 Fulham Swansea City v Southampton In an effort to inject some fun into Southampton's last away game of the season, the club has dished out masks of the players to the Saints faithful Swansea City's Jordi Amat halts Southampton's Sam Gallagher forage up the wing A sloppy goal in the last minute gifted the visitors a win. Swans captain Ashley Williams poked the ball over his goalkeeper Michel Worm and Rickie Lambert nodded home from close range. Final score: Swansea City 0-1 Southampton Arsenal v West Bromwich Albion: The only goal of the game came from the head - or more precisely the nose - of Arsenal's Olivier Giroud in the 14th minute West Brom could not pick up the points they needed to confirm their status in the top flight next season, but they remain on the cusp of safety. Here, Saido Berahino of West Bromwich Albion and Nacho Monreal of Arsenal challenge for the ball With Arsenal's place in the top four already assured, their players, including Jack Wilshere, celebrated on the pitch afterwards with their children. Final score: 1-0 Chelsea v Norwich City: Chelsea needed to win to keep their slender hopes of claiming the title alive, while Norwich realistically needed to claim all three points to retain any hope of beating the drop. In the end it was a game notable mostly for the penalty claims: Ryan Bennett of Norwich City rammed into Eden Hazard in the box after swinging wildly for the ball, but the referee adjudged that Hazard had not been fouled At the other end, Chelsea's John Terry wiped out Norwich City's Swedish defender Martin Olsson, but he too avoided punishment At the end of a draw which satisfied neither side, an emotional Ashley Cole left the pitch in tears.

FORT PIERCE -- Nick Mimms, a 15-year employee with the city of Fort Pierce and the recent interim city manager, has been named the city's newest deputy city manager.
"A city of this size with its opportunities and challenges needs to have a deputy manager to provide support and keep us growing and moving in a positive direction," said Robert Bradshaw, Fort Pierce city manger, regarding the position.
Mr. Mimms held the role of interim city manager for six months in 2012 when then-city manager David Recor submitted his resignation in May.
It was because of that experience that led Mr. Bradshaw to select Mr. Mimms from the three applicants who applied for the open position.
"Two of the three candidates had strong qualifications," Mr. Bradshaw said. "But Mr. Mimms' broad municipal government experience and filling the interim city manager position proved significant."
When the Fort Pierce City Commission voted 3-2 to hire Mr. Bradshaw as city manager during their Sept. 4 meeting, the two "no" votes were from Commissioners Rufus Alexander and Reggie Sessions, who said they both wanted Mr. Mimms to serve as city manager. The three commissioners who voted for Mr. Bradshaw each selected Mr. Mimms as their second choice.
Mr. Mimms' salary did not increase with his new responsibilities, and his current salary is $112,000 per year.
Mr. has also served as manager of the city's public works department, which he will continue to oversee as part of his new duties. In addition, he will handle special projects chosen by the city manager.
"Going into 2013, we will be continuing our work with the Port of Fort Pierce," Mr. Mimms said. "We also made a commitment to be energy-efficient, so we are continuing our work on an energy-saving performance contract."
Recently, Mr. Mimms attended a leadership development program that helped him to develop some of the skills he will need in his new role.
Mr. Mimms began his new position Dec. 24.
"It's an honor to have a position of this magnitude in the city in which I was born," Mr. Mimms said. "It's a tremendous learning experience."

In my life, July has almost universally been a month of rude awakenings—when whatever romantic viewpoint I'd adopted up until then was somehow burned to the ground.
Sometimes, it was the slow realization that—no matter how hard I tried—a love I'd invested so much time in just wasn't worth it. That it didn't matter if he was four million miles away or four inches—whatever was left was a shell of what was.
Sometimes, it was a confusing mess of not really-maybe-I don't know. Or I just can't trust you. Or you're right for not trusting me.
Sometimes, it was realizing that the thing I most wanted would break me—split me open like so many atomic bombs. It was realizing that I had the right, and the obligation, to choose something else…even if it made my entire life explode.
Sometimes, it was the start of trying—for the first time—and giving in to the hope that it actually mattered. Sometimes, it was laughing at my pussy friends who refused to dance in the rain on America's birthday and coming home to the only fireworks he could give me.
July has been a turning point, always, in my ability to choose. For better or for worse. It's always been bright and messy. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Two Wisconsin state lawmakers want to toughen Wisconsin's weak drunk driving laws with three new penalties.
Republican Rep. Jim Ott and Sen. Alberta Darling authored three bills that were presented before the Assembly Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
One bill would make third and fourth drunk driving offenses felonies. The second bill would increase penalties for injuring someone in a drunk driving accident. The third bill would impose a mandatory 10-year prison sentence on anyone who kills someone while driving drunk.
Ott and Darling said the bills, if signed into law, would send a stern message to repeat offenders.

President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American lawmaker often mentioned as a presidential candidate for 2016, will deliver the Republican response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday.
Speaker of the House John Boehner and Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, both Republicans, announced the selection of Rubio on Wednesday, calling him a strong advocate of conservative principles.
Rubio will speak after Obama's prime-time address before Congress, offering a counterweight to the president's agenda. The high-profile speech also gives Rubio a broad national audience for a party that lacks a true standard-bearer after Obama's re-election.
RELATED: Sen. Rand Paul to deliver Tea Party response
The 41-year-old lawmaker was given a prominent speaking role at last year's Republican National Convention and traveled extensively on behalf of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. He has been touted as a potential presidential candidate in 2016 for a party that fared poorly among Latino voters last year. In a signal of renewed outreach to Hispanic voters, Rubio's address will be delivered in both English and Spanish.
Rubio has played a leading role among Republicans in seeking changes on immigration, one of the top legislative priorities of the year for both parties. He has been part of a bipartisan group of senators who have proposed a plan that would allow illegal immigrants to pursue citizenship after a number of steps are taken to secure the border with Mexico. The issue is expected to be among the most highly-watched measures in Congress this year.
On the economy, Rubio has said tax increases will not bring down the $16 trillion federal debt and urged policies to promote economic growth and changes to entitlement programs.
RELATED: Obama's speech to set liberal goals but obstacles remain
Rubio said he would discuss "how limited government and free enterprise have helped make my family's dreams come true in America." He said the speech would help lay out "the Republican case of how our ideas can help people close the gap between their dreams and the opportunities to realize them."
Rubio, a former State House speaker from Miami, became a popular figure among conservative Tea Party activists during his improbable rise during his 2010 Senate campaign. He defeated Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who switched to run as an independent when it became clear he would lose the Republican primary to Rubio.

Received this promptly. After a quick steam to remove wrinkles from packaging, it really dresses up the bed. Looks soft, romantic and flowing. Perfect for beds with tall box-springs. And, it's a great value.
This was exactly what the description said it was and just what I was looking for. The skirt part is nicely made and the lining definitely is needed and covers well as voile is a very sheer material. My only concern is that the part that goes under the mattress seems a little cheap and flimsy as it appears to be made of a satiny fabric. Time will tell how it holds up. Hopefully it won't be an issue as the skirt is not taken off and put on on a continuous basis.
Thanks to reviews I read before I ordered I didn't expect this to look exactly like the promotion photo. I expected to iron it, but not spend an hour like another reviewer. I spent about 45 - 50 minutes ironing. I also expected it to be less gathered than the photo, as advised, and found that true. I also expected the fabric to not be as nice as it appears in the photo, and that was the case. I didn't know it had a liner, which I'm glad it had because without one, my white bedskirt would have been too sheer. As it is, it is still a little too sheer for my taste, making the skirt appear grey due to the dark shadows under the bed. The 18" drop actually measured 18 1/2 inches so the skirt drags a little on my carpet. Because the ruffle appears to be a thin cotton, and I would like more of a sheen, I may later add another layer outside of the ruffles, and shorten the existing skirt slightly, making this skirt the liner. Overall, this bedskirt is a quick, easy, nice addition, although not a high end skirt, that I can work with to get the exact results I want.
This is a good looking dust ruffle, long and covers bed frame and I have a double box spring and mattress on this bed, but the material is a bit thin. It would be better if it were a heavier type of material. I will say that there is a lining under the dust ruffle which makes it look much better. However, this was the most wrinkled product I have EVER received in a package. I am thinking the package was way too small for the product. It took 1 1/2 hours to iron out the wrinkles. I am an excellent at ironing and have been ironing all types of clothes and other materials for years. This was the worst and most frustrating ironing project I have ever encountered. Probably worth it. Overall, I rate this product good.
After visiting virtually every store in my 'small city' searching for a bed skirt with 18" drop, I turned to good old reliable Overstock! Sure enough, you had what I was looking for ... at a reasonable price! My guest room bed now looks feminine, fresh and ready for company!
Love the cup edge at top to hold it in place. Looks so pretty and flowy, but needed a major ironing before I put in on.
I bought this bedskirt 2 years ago and the top (part under the mattress holding up the sides of the bed skirt) has totally disintegrated. Maybe I misunderstood and this required tacking directly to the bed but it didn't state that in the description. It seems to be made of some type of tissue paper like material, not something that will stand up to making the bed regularly. The sides are still nice but the skirt continually falls off the bed and I will just have to replace it. The other skirts i ordered here are holding up great. This was so odd... I would't recommend it.
Nice quality and exactly as described on website. Kind of frilly without the bulk
I really like this bestiality mostly for the heavy duty fabric used on the base..makes it easy to slip onto the bed...it is not as full as it appears but looks good
Ordered 18" for a vacation beach cottage and it is terrific. Was worried after reading other reviews but what a pleasant surprise! No problem with wrinkles and what a terrific price. Looks like bed skirts I priced at much higher! Love it!

Washington, D.C., February 3, 2011 — The American Public Health Association today released its annual public health voting record, which tracks how members of Congress voted on key public health legislation.
APHA's report was compiled by examining hundreds of individual votes and selecting key public health votes during the second session of the 111th Congress in 2010.
Key health legislation in the U.S. Senate included in this year's congressional record focused on issues such as health reform, discretionary spending caps, greenhouse gas regulation, diversion of prevention and public health fund, and food safety modernization.
The U.S. House took up a similar scope of health policies including health reform, repeal of the prevention and public health fund, reauthorization of child nutrition programs and food safety modernization.
"The legislative decisions Congress makes every day have an extraordinary impact on ordinary people, so it is critical that we hold our lawmakers accountable for those decisions," said Georges C. Benjamin, MD, FACP, FACEP (E), executive director of APHA. "We are encouraged by our public health champions in Congress who have placed a high priority on eliminating health disparities, preventing disease and finding long-term solutions to the health challenges facing our country today."
While the voting record is a helpful tool for assessing a member's support for public health, it is not a comprehensive evaluation of their qualifications for office or their overall judgment of a member's performance solely based on this report.
PRESS: Press may request a complimentary copy of the congressional record by contacting Audrey Pernik at 202-777-2509 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
MEMBERS: APHA members may access a PDF version of the vote tally from the APHA website by using their member password. Members who need more information should call Donald Hoppert at 202-777-2514 or e-mail email@example.com. Members who have forgotten their member password should e-mail email@example.com or call 202-777-2400.
NON-MEMBERS: The congressional record appears in the February 2011 issue of The Nation's Health, the official newspaper of APHA. The voting record may be ordered by purchasing a single copy of the February 2011 issue for $8 by phone at 800-633-4931, fax at 205-995-1588 or e-mail at email@example.com.
Founded in 1872, the APHA is the oldest and most diverse organization of public health professionals in the world. The association aims to protect all Americans and their communities from preventable, serious health threats and strives to assure community-based health promotion and disease prevention activities and preventive health services are universally accessible in the United States. APHA represents a broad array of health providers, educators, environmentalists, policy-makers and health officials at all levels working both within and outside governmental organizations and educational institutions.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - U.S. News & World Report recently released its annual Best Nursing Homes 2014 list, which highlights the top nursing homes in every state and encompasses nearly 100 major metropolitan areas. The Maple Lawn Medical Care Facility in Coldwater made the list. According to US News, around 25% of nursing homes considered for 2014′s list achieved a five-star rating, the highest given through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Nursing Home Compare program—a "sharp" increase from last year's 19%, says U.S. News. A slightly larger share—26%—had four stars, the outlet found. No states had ratings declines.
About 30 percent of all nursing homes in Michigan earned an overall five-star rating. Maple Lawn overall scored five stars. At the top of the Michigan nursing homes list are those with a rating of five stars from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for their overall performance in health inspections, nurse staffing and quality of medical care.
Jayne Sabaitis, Maple Lawn administrator said it's great to see outside agencies evaluating and recognizing their hardwork at the facility and growth in the medical care field. She called it another example of the exemplary staff and dedication that Maple Lawn has to the community. Maple Lawn has been recognized by the governor and other agencies for providing quality care through extended-stay nursing care to seniors with varying levels of disabilities.

Cellulite: Fighting it, 'Jean' Therapy to Creams (cont.)
One of the best-known cellulite treatments is Endermologie, a "deep-massage" approach to reducing cellulite developed in France. It uses a device that suctions the skin with a vacuum and kneads it with a set of rollers.
"Some studies have shown the deep-tissue massage can break up some of the fibrous bands, help circulation, and improve the appearance of the skin," says Tanzi. She says that while it works for some women, the effects don't last. You'll need regular maintenance treatments to keep up appearances.
Tanzi estimates that individual sessions cost anywhere from $100 to several hundred dollars. They're usually done weekly and take about an hour.
"If you've got a lot of disposable income, I think Endermologie is the best way to go," says Donofrio. "It's going to cost some money, but some people will get pretty nice results. A lot of people will get no results, but at least they're not going to get hurt."
Another cellulite treatment originally developed in France, mesotherapy, involves a series of injections into small pockets of cellulite. They contain a solution -- a cocktail of homeopathic medications and supplements -- that supposedly break down fat and flush it away.
"It's pretty well accepted by women in Europe," says Tanzi. "But it hasn't been studied scientifically here. There's a lot of skepticism."
She also points out that any cellulite treatment that requires injections -- in this case, a lot of injections -- heightens the risk for side effects and problems. It's also very expensive, with individual sessions costing perhaps hundreds of dollars.
"I consider mesotherapy a snake oil," says Donofrio. "If you look at the literature, there just isn't good evidence that it works and it can also cause really serious infections."
Herbal Medicines
The fact is that no combination or herbs or vitamins is known to have any effect on cellulite whatsoever. If you want to try one anyway, check with your doctor first, since some can cause dangerous interactions with other medications. Remember, just because a remedy is "natural" or "traditional" doesn't mean it is safe, let alone a good cellulite treatment.
You might think that if cellulite is just fat, liposuction is just what you need. But that's not the case.
"We get a lot of patients who think that liposuction will help," says Tanzi. "We try to correct them very quickly. Not only does liposuction not help, but it can actually make cellulite look worse."
The problem is that liposuction can really only get at fat that's deep down beneath the skin. Cellulite is generally too close to the surface for liposuction to help. Besides, it's the fibrous bands that really give cellulite its appearance anyway -- getting rid of fat alone wouldn't really do much.
Other Treatments
A number of cellulite-treatment devices have been developed that combine deep tissue massage with other features, such as light and radio frequency therapy.
Tanzi is taking part in a clinical trial of one such device called the VelaSmooth, manufactured by Syneron. Although the results won't be known for a few months, Tanzi is optimistic about the treatment.
"In general, I think the future of cellulite treatment is very promising," says Tanzi. "In the future, we're going to have treatments that, if not permanent, will certainly be longer lasting than what we have now."
But Donofrio says that future is a long way off.
"We're not even close," she tells WebMD. Donofrio likens treating cellulite to changing your hair color: You might be able to get a temporary effect, but there's no way to do anything permanent. Achieving that would require genetic changes -- a lot more than dyes or creams can do.
What Can Be Done?
Obviously, there's little evidence that any of these cellulite treatments will do much. Until that miraculous cure appears, if it ever does, we'll all just have to muddle through. If you're dying to try something -- and provided the therapy you want has no risks -- both Tanzi and Donofrio say you can give it a shot. However, keep a level head: at best, the results are going to be modest. Think hard before investing too much money.
If you're considering treatment in a doctor's office, Donofrio recommends shopping around. Don't sign on to a treatment after only talking to one doctor. Donofrio observes that some doctors who have ponied up for an expensive cellulite-treatment machine might be tempted to use it even in cases where it probably won't work. If you do decide to get a series of treatments, make sure you understand how many you'll need and how much you're paying.
Since the war on cellulite is unlikely to be won any time soon, you may need to learn to change your attitude a little too. The next time you're looking over your shoulder, staring unhappily at the reflection of your backside in your bedroom mirror, remember this: Celebrities, the demigods of our society, have cellulite too.
So think of cellulite as the great leveler. Despite her wealth and the army of dermatologists, plastic surgeons, personal trainers, and make-up artists at her beck and call, even J. Lo has cellulite, according to the tabloids. And if professional sex symbols can have cellulite, why can't you?

Dylan Johnson
Lives in Ottawa, Canada
Works as a Security Guard / Photographer
Has a website at www.captivisionphotography.com
Joined on May 18, 2012
About me:
My name is Dylan Johnson and I am the owner and creator of CaptiVision Photography.
Three years ago my wife bought me my first camera, and I took up the art ofphotography. I brought my camera everywhere with me, and took photos of everything. At first I was a bit hesitant, not because I didn't like photography, but because I didn't think I could see well enough to be a photographer. I never imagined that just a short while later I would start my own company, shoot huge bands such as Sloan and Raine Maida, fundraisers for the Children's Wish Foundation, be featured on CTV's Regional Contact, and have a full page publication in Metro News Ottawa.
What separates me from other photographers is my inherent perseverance in overcoming challenges. The biggest challenge that I've overcome so far in my life has been my visual impairment. I was born completely blind. I had cataracts in both eyes which were surgically removed when I was a few months old. I had a few more eye surgeries growing up that were all successful. While I was able to regain a lot of my sight, the surgeries left me with glaucoma. The glaucoma is under control, but my vision is far from perfect, and it's as good as it's going to get. Fortunately I found photography, which has helped me see better than I could have ever imagined possible.
There are definitely a number of difficulties associated with being a photographer with a visual impairment. One of those difficulties is trying to prove to people that you have what it takes. I feel like I have to constantly prove myself and convince people that my disability is something that I've learned to work with, rather than work against. It's made me the person, and photographer I am today. My disability requires me to pay extra attention to small details that other photographers may overlook. This is definitely an advantage I have. Small details can mean the difference between an amazing shot, and one that might have been.
The genre of photography I enjoy most is event photography. This includes concerts, sporting events, and fundraisers. The rush you get when you're standing on stage with a band, looking out at all the screaming fans, listening to the thump of the bass and crash of the drums is just phenomenal.
I also love shooting maternity and newborn photography. I think it's such a precious time, and everyone should be able to look back and remember that beautiful time in their lives, from being pregnant, to bringing a little miracle into the world.
When I'm not shooting for a client, I enjoy experimenting with photography in my spare time. From super macro shots, to shots of the moon, to wildlife and landscapes. There's just something I love about being able to get so close to something, without actually being close to it. It helps me see the world differently, and sometimes makes me forget that I'm visually impaired.

Silly Wizard was a Scottish folk band that began forming in Edinburgh in 1970. The founder members were two like-minded university students—Gordon Jones (guitar, bodhran, vocals, bouzouki, mandola) and Bob Thomas (guitar, mandolin, mandola, banjo, concertina). The as-yet-unnamed band was sometimes joined by thirteen-year-old schoolboy Johnny Cunningham (fiddle, viola, mandola, vocals), who began more extensive touring with the band in 1972.

Written by Leslie Yager.
Wednesday morning at 2:41a.m. an alert police officer patrolling Westport Ave. in Norwalk heard loud banging noises coming from the area of
Puppies of Westport, a retail pet store located at 255 Westport Ave., according to Lt. Resnick of Norwalk Police.
According to Resnick, officer Castaldi investigated the source of the noise and discovered a woman, later identified as Anouk Govil, 23, of 16 Eastwood Rd, at the front doors of the pet shop. Upon seeing the officer, Ms. Govil ran off and attempted to hide behind a sign in front of the Y&S Laundromat, an adjacent business at 259 Westport Ave..
When the officer confronted Govil, she had a rock or chunk of concrete in her hand. The officer ordered her to drop the rock, to which she immediately complied. When asked what she was doing she told the officer that she "was trying to set the puppies free."
Govil was handcuffed and seated in the rear of the police cruiser. The officer then returned to the front doors of Puppies of Westport and found that the front glass doors were damaged after having been struck by Ms. Govil and her rock. Ms. Govil never made entry into the store.
Officers transported Ms. Govil to Norwalk Police Headquarters where it was discovered that she had a small laceration on her right hand. A Norwalk EMS ambulance responded to headquarters and treated the laceration, according to Lt. Resnick, Govil refused transportation to Norwalk Hospital.
Govil was charged with one count of Criminal Mischief 3rd degree, CGS 53a-117, a class B misdemeanor. Bond was set at $500 and a court date of Jan. 21 was issued for the Norwalk Superior Court. Govil was released on bond at 6:00a.m. to a family member.
Reached by phone Monty Kaufman, who owns
Puppies of Westport with his wife Lauren, said he and his wife are very upset after the incident.
"We didn't pick it up on our video surveillance, which is inside the store. But we were able to hear it. She hit the door over 100 times. A couple of times she started going crazy, going bang bang bang bang bang. She wanted in in the worst way," Kaufman said.
"When we got the call at 2:00am, I assumed someone was stealing a dog. I'm glad at least you know that person wouldn't kill it," Kaufman continued. "But, if we had any clue that the person trying to break in might release dogs into the street... If that had happened, reporters wouldn't be talking to us because we'd be in an asylum somewhere."
Puppies of Westport has been the target of protesters who oppose commercial breeders, often referred to by animal welfare advocates as "puppy mills." The breeders, who supply pet stores like Puppies of Westport are mostly located in the midwest.
Reached by phone, a representative from Westport Coalition Against Puppy Mills, which has protested Puppies of Westport in the past, declined to comment on the incident.

The Speakers Corner helps connect think tanks, academia, the media and the public to a diverse group of experts who can speak to UNDP's commitment to "empower lives" and build "resilient nations."
20 Mar 2013
Today marks the world's first International Day of Happiness, thanks to a 2012 UN resolution declaring wellbeing a universal goal and calling for more inclusive, equitable growth to make wellbeing and happiness achievable for all. Wellbeing is very much on the rise, according to UNDP's new flagship Human Development Report, which shows developing nations driving economic growth, lifting hundreds of millions of people from poverty and propelling many into a new global middle class. More than 40 developing countries have made greater than expected human development gains through investment in education, health care, and social programs, and open engagement with a world made smaller by information and communication technologies and globalisation. Among these is Mexico, which hosted the Human Development Report launch and is seen as a pioneer in devising proactive development policies, which have both expanded integration with global markets and proven innovative in social initiatives. In an unprecedented but little-noticed poll that challenges long-held assumptions, Gallup reported Feb. 25 that only 11 percent of Mexicans would emigrate now if they could—identical to the share of Americans who would choose to leave the United States. That finding reflects how our world is changing. So why are pollsters and researchers studyingRead More
18 Mar 2013
The MDGs have been a powerful tool in influencing the policy agenda with a strong human development focus. During the next 1000 days until the MDGs deadline, we will focus on helping countries to accelerate MDGs progress. In order to help countries identify bottlenecks and accelerate results, UNDP introduced the MDG Acceleration Framework (MAF) in 2010. The MAF has been applied in 46 countries with considerable success. As we approach the MDGs deadline, the UN embarks on the most comprehensive global consultation ever undertaken. The post-2015 process is a truly global conversation, involving and engaging both developed and developing countries, civil society, youth, the private sector, parliamentarians, the poor and the marginalized. The next development framework should build on lessons learned through the MDGs so as to make sure that the forthcoming Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are adequately appropriated by national institutions and the civil society. The ongoing consultations have been raising a number of important aspirations for the SDGs. Firstly, there is a clear message calling for the full incorporation of the three strands of sustainability – the social, the economic, and the environmental. Secondly, there is a strong call for moving beyond GDP as for adequately measuring human wellbeingRead More
13 Mar 2013
This week in Helsinki, the global community continues to consult on how it will follow up to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), set to expire in 2015. As we look to the future, one thing is clear: We can no longer afford to ignore disaster risk or the relationship between disasters and development. Disasters set back development achievements. This is obvious when a hurricane washes away a school. However, development decisions can also affect disasters – for example, when houses are built to a standard that doesn't resist earthquakes. Sometimes the relationship is more nuanced; even an earthquake-resistant highway isn't much good if it encourages poor people to move into a flood plain. Disasters must be part of the new development framework because it is the poor and marginalized who are most vulnerable to catastrophe. The 2010 floods in Pakistan and earthquake in Haiti, and the 2011 flooding in Thailand are recent clear examples of how, long after the debris is cleared, disasters still affect every single one of the MDGs. The poor are deprived of crops, homes, schools and health centers, and the struggle to escape poverty is reversed, sometimes by decades. The total global cost of disasters in 2011Read More

Trapp Family Lodge Hosts the Country's Only Relay for Life NordicStyle
Jen Butson, email@example.com
STOWE, Vt.
For the past eight years, the Trapp Family Lodge has proudly hosted the Relay for Life NordicStyle, a fun-filled, overnight cross country ski / snowshoe event that enlists hundreds of volunteers to help fight cancer by raising money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society mission. Last year the event raised $102,000. The event will be held on March 10th starting at 4:00 pm - March 11th until 8:00 am. For more information please visit www.relayforlife.org/nordicstylevt
History of Relay
One person can make a difference. Nowhere is that more evident than with the story of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life, which began in Tacoma, Washington. In the mid-1980s, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a Tacoma colorectal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local American Cancer Society office and to show support for all of his patients who had battled cancer. He decided to personally raise money for the fight by doing something he enjoyed – running marathons.
In May 1985, Dr. Klatt spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma. He ran for more than 83 miles. That first year, nearly 300 of Dr. Klatt's friends, family, and patients watched as he ran and walked the course. Throughout the night, friends donated $25 to run or walk with Dr. Klatt for 30 minutes. His efforts raised $27,000 to fight cancer.
While circling the track those 24 hours, Dr. Klatt thought about how others could take part in his mission to fight cancer. He envisioned a 24-hour team relay event that could raise more money to fight cancer. Over the next few months, he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team relay event, known as the City of Destiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer.
In 1986, with the help of Pat Flynn – now known as the "Mother of Relay" – 19 teams took part in the first team Relay event on the track at the historic Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000. An indescribable spirit prevailed at the track and in the tents that dotted the infield.

Sorry people are hurting right now, but I dont feel a responsibility whatsoever to send money that way.
BECAUSE, its not your responsibility. No one's telling you to go spend your money down there.. You're "for no reason at all" downing the idea of putting the draft in N.O sometimes.. What in the world is wrong with that?
And by your crazy comment about the sea level.. What if you built the house of your dreams in a town whose elevation is a bit high. A tornado comes through and tears the house of your dream up.. Would You build the house of your dreams that made you happy again, or would you just forget it? ..... Forgetting is quiting and thats what we call weak... Not smart
LOL. I see your point man. However I am not into spending money in a place that has the potential to be destroyed again.
Los Angeles could be destroyed by an earthquake.
New York, Miami, etc. could be destroyed by hurricanes.
You could go on and on.
Please bring the draft to New Orleans.

The draft should be at different cities every year just like the superbowl should be played at all NFL cities at least once before it returns to the first one. I know some will say having the superbowl in a cold weather location wouldn't work but isn't playing in the elements a natural part of the game?

I've been personally been wondering if the NFL would ever move the NFL Draft from city to city every off season. This might be okay. But I tell ya', just the fact of visiting the great city of New York and seeing what they have to offer. Such as Jets fans chanting J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!!! no matter who is on the clock! It's great. Where ever they decide to go I will be there.

It's not just New Orleans.
Ever hear about earthquakes and wildfires in California, hurricanes in Florida, floods and tornadoes in the Midwest? You have the right not to care about anybody else, but to think that New Orleans is the only place that faces any natural disasters is pretty naive. Building a city below sea level is stupid, I understand, but it's what people do nowadays. We build houses that slide off of mountains because they were built on the edge, that get flooded because we put them on the Mississippi, homes and hotels in Florida that get rocked by hurricanes, and trailers in tornado alley. Half of the country is under some type of threat from a natural disaster that we ignore until it happens, and yet we still build our homes in the dumbest places, because of greed.

First a word on New Orleans:
I love the city. I spent some time there this spring working on reconstruction efforts in St. Bernards Parish and the lower 9th ward and anyone who believes that the area has recovered or is just milking the tragedy is very wrong. I was based out of Violet LA which is a solid 40 minutes out of the city and every time we'd drive into the city we would see only a handful of houses that had been fully rebuilt. Yes, the French Quarter (which is actually the geographically highest part of the city) and other parts of the city have recovered but masses of people are still suffering. In St. Bernards perish the population went from around 70,000 before the storm to less than 20,000 currently and there is only one school open for the entire county. Yes, there is crime and there are gangs but really what city can say they are free of such aspects. The people of the area are generally some of the kindest and warmest I have ever met in my life. No one can look at the disaster that has been the recovery efforts and not feel that the people of New Orleans have gotten far less than should be expected in such a situation. Yet, despite this mistreatment the people havent lost their spirit and New Orleans is still one of the most alive and soulful places Ive ever been. Also the music is amazing. Im sorry if that is a bit preachy.
As for the draft:
Id be happy to see it move and think New Orleans would be a great location but not the best. I mentioned this in another post awhile ago but Id like the draft moved to Canton. For most of the year people talk about the Hall of Fame in a very abstract manner. Save one weekend a year when there is a big ceremony and a pretty awful preseason game the city and the Hall get pretty much no love. Im a big fan of league history and feel that as football takes its place as the most dominant sport in America its important to not forget the people who built the league. The current debate over the medical treatment of aging NFL veterans underscores the tremendous disconnect that exists between the game today and previous players. While the rookies selected in the draft will have to earn their way into Canton having the ceremony there will give them something to shoot for other than a massive signing bonus. Furthermore, it is good to remind the rookies that even if they are taken in the 1st round he still has a long way to go before he earns his keep in the ranks of Johnny U or Jim Brown.
