The Benefits of Effective Communication with Injured Employees: Reduced Costs and Greater Employee Satisfaction
Presented by Glenn Easley, Mediator for the Division of Workers' Compensation
For the last 15 years, Glenn Easley has been talking to disgruntled employees (and some disgruntled employers), explaining the Missouri Workers' Compensation System and encouraging all concerned parties to work together and avoid the expense, stress, and delay of contested litigation. Before coming to work for the Division, Glenn spent 20 years in private law practice, representing employees and employers in Missouri Workers' Compensation cases. During this presentation, Glenn will tell you the most common sources of employee dissatisfaction and offer suggestions on how they may be reduced or eliminated. Glenn will also answer general questions about the Missouri Workers' Compensation Law and practice before the Division of Workers' Compensation, including explanations of common terms and abbreviations. If you sometimes struggle with "AWW;" "TTD;" "MMI;" "PPD" and the like, Glenn will be glad to help you.

"...I was a stranger and you took me in..."
Module III: Immigration and the Christian Community
Module III addresses the immigration issue. It invites the church leaders to reflect as Christian disciples on the immigrant's experience of different ethnic and culture groups whether they are documented or not. It is an invitation to develop a committed and effective ministry for our immigrant sisters and brothers in Christ.
This resource has three units and a bibliography with bilingual references (Spanish & English) and tool for the local church's work with the immigration issue. Each unit has content information, teaching guides, worksheets with exercises and reflection questions, and supplemental information. The reader will have the opportunity to reflect on the United States of America migratory reality, to discern on what the Bible and other sources say about immigration and the connection with people of different ethnic groups and cultures, and to formulate practical solutions that help effectively to address the undocumented issue in the United States of America.

Boycott Petland Canada!
Help put an end to Petland\'s greed by protesting the sale of commercially bred puppies and kittens. Let them know you will NOT support their stores until they exclusively support legitimate rescue organizations. Petland has no right to treat these animals as inventory; often greatly discounting prices as the puppies and kittens age and become less desirable. They claim to care about the animals, and yet force them to live in small wire bottom cages. Big enough to meet the minimum requirements and yet small and bleak enough to get the sympathy of buyers. On their website they proudly state that

Animals are not Products
Patricia Gordon
Some customers are under the impression that because they purchased a dog through Petland their dog is a pure bred, but it is not. They think that by Petland referring to these puppy producers as breeders their puppy is a purebred. Purebreds are not sold to pet stores.

The only issue I had with this product is that it has a lot of pieces! Once I was done putting it together, I felt relieved. However, you have to be aware that the hanging file folders are not the standard, you have to special order the hanging folders.
I bought two recently and it's very helpful when I work from home. The assembly was not bad at all, I was confused with the hardware so I called OS, and they had one of their installers call me and walk me through the process. Come to find out, I mistaken some of the screws to go to the wrong place that's why it wouldn't fit but with the help with the installer I was able to assemble my file cabinet at ease. I like the simple look, and that I'm able to be all my files in a secure and a good looking file cabinet. I wouold definitely recommend to those who like to work at home. Great price for great quality convenience.
Screw holes were too big for the screws supplied by the manufacturer. Therefore, we will have to go a home improvement store to find screws to fit the pre drilled holes in the drawer.
I was looking for a file cabinet and came across this one. I think it's attractive for the price and quality. My husband, who is Mr Handyman, said it took him two hours to pur it together.
No problems, Not hard to put together. Why do I have to use 50 characters to write a review?

YUMMY!!!!! – best steak in utah. The cookie skillet is to die for!
Best Steak I've had in a Long Time – Went to Madeline's today and had their Filet Mignon, absolutely incredible. I could not believe how tender it was. The service was great, our waitress had the best sense of humor and was checking on us continually to make sure we had everything, refills before I even thought about asking. Loved the atmosphere, gives you the privacy that you want.
What Happened – My family has been going to Madelines since it opened in Sandy and always had a good meal. Saturday, Jan. 8th was an exception. Things started off wrong when I ordered a Bloody Mary and it came back without the alcohol, just watery tomato juice. It was replaced with a partially full glass of cheap tasting wine. The rolls came out soggy and our clam chowders tasted watered down.
The prime rib which was ordered medium well was more like medium rear . We had a few orders of baby back ribs which were dry and not at all tasty.
The deserts were good, but thats about it.
As we told the manager, we will never go back again. A very bad meal all around.
Yum-a-licious! – I took my daughter to dinner at Madeline's on an ordinary night, and every single bite we took was utterly scrumptious.
The wait staff was perfect.
The food was perfect.
I recommend Madeline's restaurant whenever I have the chance. Though we don't eat out often, this restaurant is at the top of my list of choices.
Giant greasy finger smears on the wall not appetizing. – I went there a year ago when they were still in South Jordan location. There was a giant grease spot, really disgusting, on the wall right above table at head level. Someone's kid was probably standing in the booth smearing his gross greasy hands all over, about a square foot area. Why didn't anyone wipe it off the wall? That was gross to look at while eating, and so obvious! It was hard to miss. If I was the server, I would have taken one look at that and said ohmygosh I am so sorry and either wiped it up or moved us.
Anyway!... The food was average. They overcooked my steak, but most places can't figure out medium rare for some reason. The other main point I want to make is the server was just really inattentive. I got the feeling that she was serving a banquet in another room or something was taking up all of her time because she really didn't care how we were doing. No refills. After she took our order she was gone until the end. Someone else brought our food out to us. So if we needed anything, too bad apparently. You can tell when you are being ignored, and that's how we felt. The manager came over at one point to say how is everything. It's true, I am gutless when it comes to voicing concerns in person. We just told him everything was fine. He didn't see the giant greasy finger paint on the wall either.
Awesome Prime Rib – My Husband and I go at least once a month for the Prime Rib. Best in the valley. Alway tender and full of flavor. We also like the Halibut. Yummy. We would recommend this to everyone. They are also really friendly
NOT GOOD AT ALL – The worst food for the price. Its way to expensive for what you get. we orderd 2 16oz prime rib dinners and we got 11oz of fat and 5 oz of meat it was embarrassing. for $25 a plate that was rediculouse. if your looking for a good steak house go to ruby river i know we will. The service is pathetic to i dont know how they are in buisness. i dont know if this place should get one star they are a rip off.
A great family steakhouse. – If you are any where near the south town mall skip the traditional places and go to Madeline's. It is great. They are new to this location. We went to the old location and followed them to this new location. The location maybe new, but they still have the great food.
I love the steak, others had the club sandwich, hickory BBQ Burger, and Halibut. they were all great. For lunch or dinner this place better than all the restraints in the area.
Make sure that you leave room for dessert.
Madelines Has Moved to Sandy – Madelines is now located in Sandy.

Sandy, UT 84095
We are family owned and operated. We strive to do things right. We employee 52 people and hope they all perform to the best of their ability. If we ever fall short, please call me Adam Wheaton (owner) and I will personall make sure that we get it right. Public abuse is unfair and I promise you I will make it right. Call me 801-792-4838
Madeline's should be on Kitchen Nightmares – I say it should be on Kitchen Nightmares because I would like them to get some help to improve their menu and service. They already improved the building, but that was bad too.
I've eaten here way too many times. I go to this place because I frequently have business meetings there. Every time I go the food poor.
There service is also usually bad. I have actually had my order forgotten by the server and received no food when I was with a group of about 10 people. That happened to me TWICE, with completely different servers.
They moved locations, and the new restaurant is nicer than the old one, but the food is the same.
I have actually met the owner, and he's a really nice guy, and so I would like him to do well. I just don't want to ever have to eat there again.
I am activity looking for another place to have our meetings.
We do a meeting almost everyday with one company or another I find it hard to believe that we have been as bad as you say. If you also want us to do well, why would you not just talk to me versus publicly bash my restaurant. We have been in business over five years and have done very well. I understand with my 52 employees that somebody may make a mistake but I can't believe this is the right way to go about helping us. I would really like you to call me. My Cell 801-792-4838.Adam Wheaton Owner

The stock market by virtually any measure begins the second quarter on Monday at all-time highs.
After teasing investors all last week, the S&P 500 finally closed at a record high ahead of the long holiday weekend—following the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has been crushing its highs for awhile now.
In the first quarter, the Dow industrial average rose more than 11 percent—its best first quarter since 1998. The S&P 500's 10 percent increase and the Nasdaq Composite Index's 8 percent gain from January through March were those indexes' best first-quarter performances since 2012.
(Read More: Will the Jobs Report Keep the Stock-Market Bulls Running?)
With stock mutual fund inflows starting to pick-up, many individual investors are asking: Is it too late to buy this red-hot market? "Squawk Box" enlisted some Wall Street heavyweights to help answer that question. Here are their insights:
Jeffrey Solomon, CEO, Cowen and Company: "I think a lot of people have missed [the rally]. But you have to be measured about it, unemotional. If you're under-invested in the equity market, you've got to put a little money to work now. Dollar-cost-averaging is still a great way to make sure you don't market time. I'm not a great market timer. … We always have a 10 percent pullback. If you look at the statistics, once a year we're good for 5 to 10 [percent pullback]."
John Ryding, RDQ Economics chief economist and founding partner: "We were looking at 1,525 to 1,550 [on the S&P 500] for where the market might reasonably be at the end of the year. And for the third year in a row, we've been where we thought we'd be at the end of the year, pretty much at the end of the first quarter. Then the rest of the year has been a marking time. That has been the pattern in the markets."
Lee Partridge, Salient Partners chief investment officer: "I hate to go back to what we looked like in 2011 and 2012 as being indicative of what 2013 may look like. But you have a strong January-effect in both of those years. We rallied hard through the April-May time frame. And that classic adage, 'Sell in May, Going Away' would have been prescient advice as we hit the summer months. … I would wait for a bigger pullback. Ten to 15 percent would the magnitude that I'm looking for. People are always surprised by that, but it happens every year."

|FprEN 60335-2-15:2012/FprAA:2013
|Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety - Part 2-15: Particular requirements for appliances for heating liquids
|Project Number
|IEC 60335-2-15:2012 deals with the safety of electrical appliances for heating liquids for household and similar purposes, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V. Appliances intended for normal household and similar use and that may also be used by laymen in shops, in light industry and on farms, are within the scope of this standard. If the appliance is intended to be used professionally to process food for commercial consumption, the appliance is not considered to be for household and similar use only. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capabilities; orlack of experience and knowledge prevents them from using the appliance safely without supervision or instruction or children playing with the appliance. This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2002 including its Amendment 1 (2005) and its Amendment 2 (2008). The principal changes in this edition as compared with the fifth edition of IEC 60335-2-15 are as follows: - added requirements for soy milk makers; - added requirements for dynamic pressure cookers; - expanded requirements for cordless kettles to cover cordless appliances throughout document; - reorganized 7.12 so that instructions related to generic types of appliances covered by this part are listed first; - converted notes to normative (5.2, 7.12, 19.101, 22.7, 22.106, 24.1.5, 24.4, 25.101) text; - deleted Note in 19.102. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months or later than 36 months from the date of publication.

Getting started
Many aspects of paint performance depend more on the quality of the base than on the color. The tint base largely determines the paint's toughness and resistance to dirt and stains, while the colorant determines how much the paint will fade. But you don't need a chemistry degree or a pro's experience to put on paint that lasts. Here's how to pick the right one for the job.
Interior paint
We've found that lower grades--typically dubbed good, better, or contractor grade--haven't performed as well. If a top-line paint can cover all but the darkest colors in two coats, lower-quality paints might need three or four. The best now cover in just one coat. Some even claim to eliminate the initial, primer coat.
Don't buy strictly by brand. Manufacturers tend reformulate paints frequently to improve performance and comply with tougher regulations. That means the paint you loved last time may not do as well this time around.
Think carefully about color. A hue that looks great in the store could turn you off once it's on your walls. Use the store's color-sampling products and retailer and manufacturer computer programs. Most stores sell 2-ounce sample jars so you can test a paint before buying a large quantity. Manufacturers also offer large color chips, which are easier to use than the conventional small swatches.
Try out samples on different walls and at various times of the day. Fluorescent light enhances blues and greens, but it makes warm reds, oranges, and yellows appear dull. Incandescent light works well with warm colors, but it might not do much for cool ones. Even natural sunlight changes from day to day, room to room, and morning to evening. Color intensifies over large areas, so it's better to go too light than too dark in a given shade.
Breathe easier. Manufacturers are reducing the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)--the noxious chemicals that make paint smell like paint--in their products, in response to stricter federal standards. VOCs can cause headaches and dizziness, and are linked to pollution, smog, and respiratory problems. More manufacturers now make low-VOC paints that comply with the even-tougher standards set by California's regional South Coast Air Quality Management District. Earlier low-VOC paints lacked the durability and sheen selection of higher-VOC finishes, but some low-VOC paints now top our Ratings. Some paints even claim to contain no VOCs at all, but those we've tested haven't topped our Ratings. You'll find the VOC level listed on the can.
Exterior paints and stains
To find out which finishes are likely to last longest on your home, we painted and stained pine test panels and placed them on the roof of our Yonkers, New York, headquarters. We also faced the boards south at 45 degrees from vertical to intensify the effects of sun and the outdoors. One year of such severe testing is equivalent to about three years of normal weathering on a typical home. Most exterior paints held up well for the equivalent of at least three years, and the best still looked respectable after what amounted to nine years under the elements. Stains must typically be reapplied more often--some after as little as one year.
As with interior paints, manufacturers typically reformulate exterior paints and stains often, partly to meet tougher federal standards limiting volatile organic compounds. VOCs can cause headaches and dizziness, and are linked to pollution, smog, and respiratory problems. But reducing VOCs in exterior paint without compromising performance has been a challenge. Whether you paint or stain, here are some tips for getting the best-looking, most durable finish possible:
Don't cheap out. As with interior paints, we've found that economy grades of paints and stains don't weather as well as top-of-the-line products from the same brand. Pinching pennies now may mean spending more down the road, since you'll need to refinish more often.
Consider lesser-known brands. Major brands have tended to wind up at the top of our tests. But some small regional brands have joined them at the top, while some national heavy-hitters have looked scruffy after the equivalent of just three years.
Don't scrimp on the prep work. Good preparation is critical to a good, long-lasting exterior finish, whether you're paying a pro or are among the roughly 20 percent of homeowners who do the job themselves. That means scraping, sanding, and cleaning the siding thoroughly. And while the best paints covered in one coat--and some claim to eliminate the need to prime the surface--we recommend two coats for long life and optimal coverage. Other materials may require different procedures. Stucco and masonry, for example, may need sealing beforehand. If you sand or scrape paint on a house built before 1978, be warned: Older coats of paint may contain lead, so you'll need to take extra precautions. Indeed, federal law now requires that painters you hire be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency and be trained in lead-safe work practices.

Author: Editor/Wednesday, May 08, 2013/Categories: Product Reviews
How do you carry your stuff? Tail bags, tank bags and side cases are great for touring, but for short hops and commuting – especially when the bike has to be left unattended – many riders say shoulder bags are the answer. Aerostich has been refining their bags for over 20 years, and though often imitated, their Courier bags have a lot of fans.
Though motorcycle-writing standards mandate I use the word "bulletproof" at least once, I'm going to instead describe this bag as a "life of the owner" investment. Cordura is tough stuff, and the lid edges on this bag are turned down, then top stitched – a technique that leaves the bag stronger and more durable. All Aerostich shoulder bags have a waterproof liner and their lids are secured with ITW Fastex side-release buckles and a wide band of hook and loop. I gave the bag a good water hose test with some balled up newspapers inside and found a few drops of water could only get in through the top two corners, since the lid doesn't hang over there. However, snugly buckled up, I feel pretty confident my phone and other stuff would stay dry in all but maybe a daylong soaking on the highway. The two-inch strap on the three largest sizes includes a detachable Ultrasuede-covered, high-density foam shoulder pad, and is easy to adjust for length using a cam lock buckle. Comfort for a shoulder bag depends a lot on how long you're in the saddle and how much weight is in the bag. But since the Courier is designed to lie on your back more than hang from your shoulder, I found it no more restrictive than a backpack and comfortable for a 30-mile commute with a moderate load.
Speaking of accessibility, this is the real virtue of a bag like the Courier. I like having everything at hand, rather than having to shed a backpack or sort through pockets. All Aerostich shoulder bags also carry a handy key clip, so once I reach my parking slot all I have to do is grab my keys, lock my helmet and head off across campus to my office.
The Aerostich Courier Bag, reportedly made by the same guy in Duluth for the last 15 years, sells for $92 plus shipping. More information, reviews, specific size and color options and shipping details can be found at www.Aerostich.com

Recovering from Schizophrenia and OCD
In 1996, I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Schizophrenia. Though I have endured and suffered a great deal, I have been blessed with satisfactory mental health care, I have learned a lot about the two conditions and how to cope, and I have achieved many goals and aspirations.
With Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, OCD, I have experienced many obsessions, which are fast, unwanted, intrusive thoughts. Did I leave the stove on? Did I touch my face with contaminated hands? Why do I doubt so much? These thoughts resulted in acute anxiety, fear, and worry.
The fear, anxiety, and worry made me want to do whatever I could to alleviate it; I engaged in any compulsion or ritual that I thought would free me from the torture. I would ask people if my fears were legitimate, for reassurance. I would wash my hands until they were raw. I would double check everything. I felt the need to check and double check; no amount of checking was enough.

You matter. Whether you realize it or not, you have changed someone's life. As humans, we are immensely diverse and have different influences. So, it is impossible that you have not touched someone—changed their life for the better. Someone out there is thankful for you and that is magical.
Every person on this earth has a demon they are fighting. To struggle is a part of life, but it is rare that life instantly rights itself and the struggle disappears. It is more often the simplest events that aid us all in continuing the fight. Therefore, simple acts of kindness count most.
There is something good inside of you. In your own way, you are attractive, smart, and enchanting. You have such great light. This is a light that has developed due to each and everyone who has crossed your path. It is also a light composed of your talents. Finally, it is a light that should shine. This is accomplished by kindness. We are all born with the innate ability to put a smile on the face of another—activate it. Be kind to others and you will receive kindness in return. Become a reflection of the world you wish to see and you'll be amazed of your contagion. In this awareness and change in yourself, you just may change the world around you (one act at a time).
You matter. What you do matters. Pass it on.
hi. it's my story. not gonna hear the best things about me. but it's okay i am not ashamed any of it. never mind. i'm suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD), passive-aggressive personality disorder, dysthymia, anxiety, and self-harm.i just wanna go back to september 25, 2012 and change a thing. yeah that day, i cut myself for the first time. i didn't think that it'd stick to me but it did. now i'm trying for recovery. i really do. i try to stay strong. but i have to admit it, it's pretty hard. My last cut was on May 11, 2013. But my last kinda harm was on September 15, 2013. Did it by a sharp bracelet not by a blade that was all.
so, what made me cut myself?I had a nice childhood. Just, family kinda put pressure on me so much. For instance, my dad always wanted me to do things "go and ask waitress for a napkin, you are not a kid anymore." he said when we were in a restaurant. He did lots of things like that. It triggered my anixety in time. When I was 13, hard times started for me. I was thinking about suicide. Because I felt like a failure. My parents always compared me to everyone. Especially to my twin sister. I was insulted everyday. And lessons made me feel like I was a failure too. So many times I wanted to jump and considered about ending all these things. But I couldn't do that and then I hated my self because I was a pussy, I wasn't even able to do that. I was a really failure I thought myself. Then next year, I was feeling better at some point. I told my mom about my suicide thing. But she just laughed about it and didn't take it seriously. It kinda hurt but I pretended it was okay anyway. In my freshent year in high school, i had trouble with school again. My family was so mad at me about having low marks and people in my school, in my town started rumuors about me. My twin sister blamed me "Everyone hates you and because of it they hate me too even if they don't know me!" she said. What could have I said? I kept my mouth close again. I was bullied at school. Popular girls in school were bullying me but I just ignored them.
The signs of my illness began when I was a teenager. For me, it was difficult because those were years when I wanted to experience highschool and finding more out about myself. The most painful part was losing those years and regressing without my own control until I got on medication.
Imagine being unable to write a clear concise sentence after being an honors student for your whole life. Imagine having paranoia hit you full first, the erratic actions that you can't control turning you into someone else. It takes inner strength and a sort of manic energy to overcome schizophrenia.
My heart aches to much to forgive, My eyes to swollen to forget, It's been years, Seems like yesterday, The pain so fresh, The tears so near, I can forgive but I will never forget.

Things I found out recently include the fact that the sisters Kardashian are making their fiction debut in November with a novel entitled Dollhouse. Says Kim, ""The novel is based on our lives but we've added a lot of crazy fictional twists and turns. You'll have to decide for yourself which story lines are true to life, and which ones we dreamed up." But Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney are far from the only celebs who have tried their hand at novel-writing. I can't speak as to how much these shining literary achievements owe to a little thing we call ghostwriting, but some of them aren't so bad. Others… well, take a look for yourselves!

Hello, my name is Dr. Paul Stanislaw and I would like to welcome you to my website. The purpose of this website is two fold: First, it is an opportunity to introduce myself and my practice to you. Second, I hope this website serves as an educational resource for you and answers many of your questions.
I specialize exclusively in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. That is, my entire practice is dedicated to cosmetic or plastic surgery of the face, head, and neck. By focusing only on this one area, I feel that I can deliver the highest quality of care, and provide the best results.
I founded the Stanislaw Facial Plastic Surgery Center in 2001 in Avon, Connecticut and was the first Board Certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon in the Greater Hartford area.
My practice philosophies:
My number one concern is patient safety. It is my duty to closely examine and review new technologies, products, and procedures as they emerge. Before I choose to offer a treatment or procedure, I need to be assured of its safety and efficacy. New is not always better than "tried and true". I do not perform any treatments or surgeries that I would not have done to myself or have done to a family member.
My goal is to make my patients look refreshed and more youthful, and for their facial features to be in balance and harmony. Most importantly, the patient needs to look natural without any signs of intervention. I feel that plastic surgery is just as much Artistry as it is basic science.
Non-surgical treatments have become an integral component of facial rejuvenation and should not be taken lightly. This is truly an art form; the ability to "sculpt" these products to erase the signs of aging and to accentuate the beautiful features of a face can not be taught. This is why all non-surgical treatments (Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse, Sculptra, laser treatments, etc) are performed by me. There are no nurses, physician's assistants, or "residents in training" performing any procedures at the Stanislaw Facial Plastic Surgery Center.
My goal of the consultation is to first understand the patients concerns and expectations. This is the most important step, since it then allows me to better educate the patient as to the treatment options available tospecifically address their concerns. During the consultation I will review your medical history and perform an examination of your skin and facial features.
I personally want to assure you that your consultation will be non-stressful, and that it is simply an educational experience to help you make a well informed decision. There is never any pressure to make a decision or commitment at the time of the consultation. You are always given the opportunity to take your time and to think about what was discussed. At the end of the consultation, I advise patients to write down any questions that may arise and I offer to meet again to further discuss any of your questions or concerns.

As a songwriter and a performer, Willie Nelson played a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Although he didn't become a star until the mid-'70s, Nelson spent the '60s writing songs that became hits for stars like Ray Price ("Night Life"), Patsy Cline ("Crazy"), Faron Young ("Hello Walls"), and Billy Walker ("Funny How Time Slips Away") as well as releasing a series of records on Liberty and RCA that earned him a small, but devoted, cult following....

In theory, this should be special — the classic Willie Nelson album we haven't had since "Spirit" in 1996. In the producer's chair you have T-Bone Burnett, who's already resurrected mountain music ("O Brother Where Art Thou?") and Robert Plant ("Raising Sand," with Alison Krauss) this decade. The pitch here is "Stardust" meets the Grand Ol' Opry circa 1962. How could it miss?(Full review)
Willie Nelson once again stamps familiar standards with his ineradicable musical personality on his new album, "American Classic." Nelson simplifies and slows down the tempos, then applies his tawny, world-weary voice to mostly melancholy lyrics, as he interprets songs from the mid-century catalog.(Full review)
Apparently, alt-country malcontent Ryan Adams didn't smoke enough grass with Willie Nelson on their recent tour, so he lured the legend into the studio to produce "Songbird" in between tokes. It's 73-year-old Nelson's 187th album (by my count), and a far cry from the crowning latter-day works of his contemporaries, Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash.(Full review)
"You are the king of South By Southwest," journalist Elliot Wilson said to Kendrick Lamar at the top of the quick, half-hour interview Thursday afternoon.(Full review)

The direct flight has been scheduled to begin service on September 29.

Wayne >Clothing > Coco's Chateau
57 State Route 23, Wayne, NJ | Directions 0747040.889917 -74.250505
I went to Coco's Chateau for a mother of the groom gown for my son's wedding. Prior to going,I checked their website and it appeared that there was a nice selection!! I am writing this review so that other women don't have to waste their time like I did. Their website features gorgeous gowns from Jovani, Rina Di Montella and others but when you get to the store they don't have much at all! I am stylish and thin and not one style dress I picked out was available at the store. It is a great store if you are looking for a prom dress, but beyond that don't waste your time. Their website is very misleading because they have virtually no selections for mothers contrary to what the website illustrates, except for some old-fashioned styles! I hope people read this review so they can save themselves a trip!!!!
trillions of dresses! – I see Coco has lost some fans on Twitter. Unbelievable. What happened to your Belmar location by the way?
I shopped here with a friend who is a bit on the large side, she isn't fat, but she is bigger. She was trying on short dresses and the sales person said to her"Honey, you really shouldn't be trying on those short dresses with your thighs". the salesgirl was incredibly rude and that is no way to treat a customer whether they are 105 lbs. or 305 lbs. My friend and I were very unhappy.
To All Our Valued Clients,
We are grateful for your continued patronage. It has been an enjoyable 2012 season and we look forward to an even more successful 2013 season with new merchandise arriving by September. I would also like to extend an apology for the bogus reviews placed on this sight. Since our opening in December of 2009 we have been plagued by a less than honest store also located in Wayne New Jersey, known as "The Red Carpet". I am sure many of you are aware of their notorious business transactions through the media the past few months and the fact they had an "F" rating from the BBB. Unfortunately, our store was also victim to their antics. The negative reviews written on this sight have been linked to people associated with "The Red Carpet" in an effort to save their failing business. They have also tried to link their name to our account and interfered with our domains. Lawyers were retained and our competitor was contacted, but continued to interfere. We apologize to anyone reading these unjustified reviews and hope that your visit to our store will show you just how bogus these reviews have been. Coco's Chateau has an "A" rating from the BBB. The BBB is the only legitimate review of a store, a consumer's best way to judge a stores reputation is through the BBB. Review sights such as Google, City search, Insider pages and Yellow pages are just open forums for anyone to say anything without cause or justification and there is no legal ground for retractions, no matter the situation. Sad but true. A person who has not even visited a store can comment negatively on that particular store. If a legitimate client of ours has any problem kindly state your first name and your invoice number and our store will be more than willing to accommodate you to the best of our ability. As I stated none of these reviews have been with merit. As for The Red Carpet, Coco's Chateau was among the few stores in this area who offered to help get the girls their dresses when The Red Carpet failed to honor their contracts. Once again we apologize to anyone reading these unjustified reviews and welcome everyone to visit our two locations with more than 5,000 gowns and cocktail dresses in stock for your very special occasion. Best to All,
The Gals of Coco's Chateau
WE LOVED THIS PLACE – I took my daughter to Coco's yesterday for a prom dress. Prior to this, she was having a hard time finding anything because she is very slim. The staff at Coco's was just great and extremely helpful. There were lots of dresses for her to choose from. Next time she needs a dress, we will go here first.
Thank you Cocos!!! – The staff at Coco Chateau is exemplary as is the service. After a 6-7 week nightmare at their competor's who was unable to produce a dress, Coco's helped my daughter choose and receive a dress within a 3 day window. Looking at these reviews I cannot imagine anything negative being said about the owner, staff assistance or selection. My guess is iit the classless owner of the competetor masquerading around as a faceless, envious and hateful person. She has no idea about customer service and if she dedicated a fraction of the time she does with giving Cocos bad reviews her business might survive. although I doubt it...I have never been called a schizophrenic by a store owner who could not keep up her end of the bargain. Coco Chateau treats their customers with respect and understands the significance of a special occasion. Thank you again for saving prom! I will make sure to tell everyone I know how wonderful you all are!
Horrible store...NEVER shop here! – My experience with the staff and owner of this store was HORRIBLE! I went in to find a dress about 1 week ago and I will NEVER return. The staff was unfriendly, and while they had a lot of dresses, they were mostly damaged (like they have been tried on too many times). When I tried to speak with the owner of the store, she acted WAY to busy to give me the time of day. She is very unpleasant!
I felt very pressured to purchase something and when I left without doing so, I felt that the staff was very disrespectful. I hope this store closes in the near future...I do not want anyone else to experience what I experienced. They are a shady business that I would never trust my money with. I would advise that you NEVER step foot in this store unless you want to leave feeling like you were pressured, pushed and disrespected if you don't buy.
Left Crying – My experience was a nightmare, I left the store crying. I will never set foot in that place again.
i'm laughing at some of these reviews – Clearly the same person (princess lady) is writing the negative reviews along with another crazy. Why do you waste your time constantly writing negative reviews? Don't you have anything better to do? I bought my prom dress from here last year and they do have a large selection of dresses and great service. I heard of cocos through my school because everyone bought their dresses there. So yes i would say they have a good reputation if i heard of them. so you wackies get a life, and for everyone else i recommend you check out this store for yourself or youll pass up some great dresses.
Great experience at Coco's!! – Came to Coco's for my first time to look for a Junior Formal dress and the selection was AWESOME! So many dresses to choose from and you could even special order if they do not have your size! The help was great and very helpful, I would definetly reccommend coming here to shop for a gown. I will absolutely come back in the future!!

The Grammy award-winning band Switchfoot is making their first appearance since their new 9th album "Fading West" was released two weeks ago. The band postponed the release due to a "gnarly surf injury."
They were on Good Day LA performing "Who We Are".
Fun Facts About Switchfoot: (Source: Wikipedia)
1) Switchfoot is an American alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The band's members are Jon Foreman (lead vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass guitar, backing vocals), Chad Butler (drums, percussion), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), and Drew Shirley (guitar, backing vocals).
2) After early successes in the Christian rock scene, Switchfoot first gained mainstream recognition with the inclusion of four of their songs in the 2002 movie A Walk to Remember. This recognition led to their major label debut, The Beautiful Letdown, which was released in 2003 and featured the hits "Meant to Live" and "Dare You to Move". It went on to sell over 2.6 million copies. They have since been noted for their energetic live shows, and their seventh studio album Hello Hurricane received a Grammy award in 2011 for Best Rock Gospel Album.
3) According to Jon Foreman, the name "Switchfoot" is a surfing term. "We all love to surf and have been surfing all our lives so to us, the name made sense. To switch your feet means to take a new stance facing the opposite direction. It's about change and movement, a different way of approaching life and music.

Soft Structured Carriers
Babytrekker - Deluxe 5 position carrier
" I love my babytrekker. It's super comfy and once you figure it all out, I find it rather simple to use. My sons both seemed to feel comfortable in it and I was able to use it with my second boy from birth to a bit over 18 months with no issues. I'd have used it longer but I mostly use it to take walks and started letting him walk around with us a little after that and then I got preggo again..." --dayiscoming2006
Catbird Baby Pikkolo Carrier
"I bought the Pikkolo to have an option for a buckle carrier where my little one could have his legs out rather than in. The Pikkolo has an adjustable base which allows both small babies to be legs out and also any baby to face forward while still sitting ergonomically. I tried it out, immediately, with my 3yo son, and was amazed at how comfy it was, even with him. The baby was far more..." --HeatherB
Action Baby Carrier Nova
" I was searching different carriers, from WCs, Tulas and Kinderpacks. I found out about this one on TBW. I have been BWing with woven wraps for a while, and was looking to try an SSC since my LO is walking now. I was so surprised at the great reviews, the affordability and the quick turnaround to get one, since they are made in the US. Very easy ordering, and..." --NishaG

I disagree with this, really. But I am not big on considering clothes in any great higher, spiritual sense ... for me a person wearing what pleases them to wear is an excellent reason for their choices of dress.
on many days, i am right there with you. perhaps because this process (of coming to religion, and all that is related to that) still feels very new to me. that and all of my family and any friends outside the masjid have a very different idea of what looks beautiful. i have struggled with that over the years in various ways. it should by now, when i am in my (ahem) 30s, be a non-issue—it is embarrassing to think family/peer pressure can still be so strong.
my (nonreligious) dh teases me good naturedly and tells me the scarf is cute. he is not exactly sure what to make of it, but wants me to be happy. however, around totally nonreligious friends i have not felt comfortable to wear a scarf—because even if i wore a scarf because i think its beautiful, for nonreligious friends it is perceived as part of my religiosity, and that makes me squirm. maybe i need to just do it, get it over with, let it become no big deal.
that said, clearly all of my overthinking complicates things unnecessarily. i remember taking a scarf from around my neck, making a loose headband out of it—i loved this for years, even before immersing myself in this faith. i think i have self-consciousness, because to dress a certain way in the US does give a public religious identity, to an extent. to say i just like the clothes....that feels like only part of the story.
Jo, your story makes sense to me and is a good reminder hat this all an unfolding. also, i tend to take things too seriously, and need to lighten up on myself!
YSM, thanks for your comments. i understand what you mean, that feeling beautiful when covered is a kind of gift and baraka.
tomorrow i can pick up my Arabic cds from the library inshaAllah. than you all again for the support and friendship here. salaams.
I do understand ... I mean, I keep hanging on this pendulum that has gone from boho chic to all-black ninjette niqabi to at the moment bordering on all the way back to boho chic, covering various shades in between, and while some of that is me just doing what I want to do, an awful lot of it is tied up in how I want to be perceived in particular times/places/circumstances.
Since I don't proselytize for religious dress, but I'm generally all too happy to proselytize for feeling good about one's appearance, may I suggest that a lot of more bun-style and other "up-do" headwraps tend to be read in a less religious (and generally entirely non-Islamic) light, and therefore might work without quite the same discomfort? Because they don't read as "hey, look, Muslim woman, right here!" they also tend to be a little more comfortable to wear one day and skip the next ... there's not that sense of having committed to a thing attached.

U.S. U-21s Warm Up For 2007 Nordic Cup With 5-0 Win
CHICAGO (July 17, 2007) The U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team warmed up for the 2007 Nordic Cup with a 5-0 victory over club team FC Sports on July 16 in Vassa, Finland. The U.S. got goals from five different players as defender Nikki Krzysik, midfielders Kelsey Carpenter and Amanda Cinalli, and forwards Michele Weissenhoffer and Ella Masar tallied. Forward Danesha Adams assisted the first three goals.
The American women are in Finland with the goal of taking back the Nordic Cup lost last year to Germany. The Nordic Cup is held in Northern Europe every summer and the USA has competed in the tournament for well more than a decade as it has become the focus of the USA's oldest youth women's national team during its six-month run-up to the prestigious competition. In response to FIFA moving its oldest FIFA world championship for women from Under-19 to Under-20, this year the Nordic Cup moves from an Under-21 competition to an Under-23 tournament (it was staged as a U-20 event from 1990-1997) and U.S. head coach Bill Irwin has brought an 18-player roster featuring a mixture of U-21 and older players to Finland.
While the Nordic Cup has long featured eight teams and three group games followed by a placement match, this year's format calls for two group games and then a placement match, giving the USA little room for error in the first round to earn a berth to the title game, which will pit the winners of Group A, featuring England, Finland and Germany, and Group B, which will feature Norway, Sweden and the USA.
The American women open the tournament against Norway on July 18 in Närpiö, followed by the match against Sweden on July 22 in Vaasa. The placement matches are on July 24. All the matches are in and around Vassa on the west coast of Finland right on the Gulf of Bothnia. The USA has won eight Nordic Cup titles, including seven in a row before falling last year in the championship game.

The Quince Orchard Cougars are back in the saddle again.
The football program is just one win shy of capturing the Gaithersburg school's first state championship since 2007 and their third ever state crown.
The Cougars suffered a disappointing 36-35 overtime loss in last year's Class 4A title game so many of this year's seniors were on a mission to get back to Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium.
Marcus Newby, Kieran Gregory and company have dedicated themselves to reaching the ultimate goal – a state championship.
However, the Henry A. Wise High School football program is no stranger to M&T Bank Stadium, either.
The Pumas (13-0) have made the trip to Baltimore to play for a Class 4A state championship twice before and have come up empty each time. Friday's appearance will mark Wise's third title shot in the last four years.
In 2009, Wise suffered a 17-16 loss to Old Mill in the championship game. The following year, the Pumas were shut out by Urbana 6-0 in a defensive battle.
Quince Orchard (12-1) boasts one of the state's stingiest defenses and features three Division I prospects in Newby (Nebraska) along with defensive linemen Andrew Ankrah (James Madison) and Gregory (Richmond).
In the state semifinal victory over Westminster, the Cougars' defense shut down an offense that entered the game averaging 45 points per contest. The Owls only scored 19 points against Quince Orchard.
"Our defensive coordinator, Coach [John] Kelley, he designed a formation and it worked through the game," said Newby.
"Coach Kelley put a great game plan together," added Gregory. "Our secondary practiced all week hard and our communication was great and we put together a great performance."
Quince Orchard senior quarterback Matt Choi outshined Westminster's prolific senior quarterback Deryk Kern who set a new state record for touchdown passes in a single season. Kern completed 25-of-46 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns against the Cougars.
Choi, a converted wide receiver, accounted for all three Quince Orchard touchdowns in the Cougars' victory. He finished with 123 yards rushing on 26 carries including two scores and completed 11-of-25 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown.
Choi replaced Mikey Murtaugh midway through the regular season and has carried the Cougars on his back. He enjoyed his coming out party in the win over Westminster.
"He's improved a lot since we lost to Seneca," said Newby, referring to Quince Orchard's 12-9 loss to the Screaming Eagles on Sept. 28. "He's always in the film room watching film with Coach. He's a fast guy, he has quick feet and he makes great decisions so he's got so much better these past five weeks and now it's unbelievable."
Not bad for a kid who was once an offensive lineman during his youth league days in the Montgomery Village Sports Association.
The talented senior has a chance to lead Quince Orchard to a state title, something that was unthinkable when the season began.
"No way," said Choi, when asked if he could have imagined starting under center in a state title game. "I thought I would be catching passes from Mikey but sometimes the team goes through adversity so you have to go through it."
Sometimes even the wildest dreams are capable of becoming a reality. Just ask Matt Choi.
