Chandler and his talented brother's
posted at 9/19/2012 11:18 PM EDT
Chandler's brother Jon "Bones" Jones will be defending the UFC 205 belt Saturday night.
After the fight he plans to fly to baltimore Sunday morning to watch his two brothers play each other Sunday night.
Chandler's brother Arthur is a defensive end for the Ravens. Sick genetics in that family...
Here's the article:

Truly a great story! Even as successful as Bones is, Chandler might be staring down the path to super stardom. This kid looks amazing in 2 games played. He dominated Arizona all day.

^Bones has not lost a round of any fight he's ever had.
205'ers are the most rounded and talented fighters in the world.
Heavyweights that drop to 205 get destroyed....
Bones handles most UFC heavys imo.....

Cain, Dos Santos, Overroid, Cormier(strikeforce) blow him up for sure. A few others would give him a good fight too.
posted at 9/20/2012 8:55 AM EDT
His mma wrestling is just as good as cain's and cormier is not as well wronded. He's 6'4 and would definitely get up to 245-255 if he were to fight heavy.
He would smash most Hw's

I'll take Bones in any fight, against any fighter of any weight. He's getting BETTER! This KID taught himself how to fight by watching youtube, and has DESTROYED some very elite fighters. To say anyone would crush him is flatly ignorant. He's beat olympic wrestlers, BJJ black belts, and maybe the most renowned karate fighter in the world (Machida). Again...with a background of YOUTUBE!
He took Matt Hamill, a VERY accomplished wrestler, and threw (literally, THREW) him to the ground so hard he seperated his (Hamill) shoulder.
Not only does he destroy these guys, he does it in short order.
I bet you thought Lesnar would be champ for a long time too. He outweighed Cain by a good 40 lbs. About hom much Cain or Dos Santos outweighs Bones by. How'd speed work out?
I would've liked to see an Anderson Silva/Jones fight when Silva was 5 years younger...but suck is life. It will be a long time before anyone challenges Jones, he's totally cleaned out the entire weight class.

In response to ma6dragon9's comment:[QUOTE]
He has dominated against guys about half his size. Dos Santos is just as big as Jones and MUCH better hands. IF Jones could manage to take him down Junior would probably be able to get back to his feet. Right now probably an easy win for Junior.
Cain vs. Jones would just be a crime scene with Cain winning. Cain has just destroyed Heavyweights until Dos Santos.
Cormier has Olympic level wrestiing and faster hands. He might actually go to LHW if Cain beats Dos Santos( Cain is a teamate). Dana said he would get an immediate title shot then.
Overeem is a freak and hasnt been really tested im mma since he has gotten huge.
Matt Hamill or any of the light heavywieghts wouldnt do any better against these guys as he did against Jones.
The key to the Lesnar/Cain fight was Cains ability to scramble to his feet after Lesnars takedowns. Overall Cain was a much more well rounded fighter and it showed. I personally was never high on Lesnar.
Dana even said a few months back about Jones moving to HW "he could, but he wouldnt be happy, Dos Santos has bombs in both hands. its a whole new level"
Imo maybe eventually but not now.

Here is a sample of the info that will be on my new Blog. Have a few other blogs there already.
Hello everyone and it's almost the end of July and and men and women across the world are getting ready for some football. Now let's get this out of the way early, I am a Washington Redskin fan and yes I am biased and yes I hate the Cowboys. But as we approach the new season I will try to put my hatred of the Cowboys aside and look objectively. Right now in Maryland it is hot and humid and I am yearning for the cool days of fall and football. So lets take a look at what I think will happen. In this blog I will talk about the NFC East.
Ok it has to be said, the favorites in the NFC East are the Dallas Cowboys. Tony Romo seemed to finally step up and take his team to the next level. Miles Austin came out of nowhere to be that big play reciever and the Cowboys are stacked at running back. The defense is solid but I think they tend to give up too many big plays and they did not adress the biggest issue going into the offseason which was the offensive line. I know as a Redskin fan how important the offensive line is. Going into last year the big question about the Skins was the offensive line and as the Gods would have it, The Skins line let us down and were hurt all year. Is that What is in store for the Cowboys this year?
The next stop on our NFC East tour is New York New York. The Giants were a favorite going into last season with a deadly defensive live. But the talent was not backed up by results. Steve Smith stepped up to be Mannings go to guy but just like the Cowboys the Giants offensive line let them down and Brandon Jacobs once again spent most of the season injured. The Giants also did not do a whole lot to upgrade their team in the offseason so I dont expect a whole lot out of them this season.
So that leads us to the Eagles. A team that had enough nerve to trade a future hall of fame QB within the division. They are going to put their faith in Kevin Kolb. What has he shown to make th Eagles think he is the future? Andy Reid is taking a big risk this year. If the Eagles take a step back and Kolb does not lead them to the playoffs will Andy Reid be around next year? Will Kolb to Jackson get the job done? Will The Eagles defense rebound from what could be called a down year last year? The Eagles do have a alot of young talent but I don't think Kolb is a franchise QB and Andy Reid will be fired next year.
Hail to the Redskins!!!! I told you I am biased but now lets look at the Skins. Gone are Jason Campbell, Randel El and a lot of the dead weight the Skins have been carrying around the last few years. In come Donovan McNabb, Trent Williams, Jamal Brown and Mike Shanahan. But who is going to catch the balls from McNabb? Will any of the RBs(Portis, Johnson and Parker) make it through the season? Will a rookie be able to protect McNabbs blindside? The Skins have a lot of questions but I think they are heading in the right direction.
Ok so how do I see things playing out? Can a Redskin fan actually pick the Cowboys to win the NFC East? Actually I think the Cowboys will win the NFC East with a 12-4 record and make a deep run into the playoffs. And even though it may ruin my entire winter, I could see them making it to the Super Bowl. Next I have the Washington Redskins finishing 9-7 and 2nd place in the NFC East. Will that be good enough to get a wild card and a spot in the playoffs? Only time will tell. After the Skins I have the Giants coming in at 8-8. They just did not do a lot to improve a team that has issues. And bringing up the rear will be the Eagles at 4-12 and Eagles fans finally realize what they had in Donovan McNabb. They don't run the ball and have a young QB and you can't be one dimentional unless you have a hall of famer at QB, and he is in DC now.

UPDATE: The results are in. Here are this year's reader's choice winners. Thanks for voting!
FORTUNE -- Every year, Fortune selects its Businessperson of the Year. (We'll reveal our winner along with the runners up on November 21.) But we want to open up the selection process to you, our readers.
This year, we've asked a select group of Fortune staffers and contributors to nominate their MVPs within their respective beats. In today's installment, Fortune writer Beth Kowitt offers her selection of top performers in retail and consumer packaged goods for 2013. Cast your vote below for this year's reader's choice.
Carol Meyrowitz, CEO, TJX Companies
I've been tracking Meyrowitz for several years now for Fortune's Most Powerful Women in Business franchise. Since she first appeared on the list in 2006 at No. 26 as TJX's (TJX) president and soon-to-be CEO, Meyrowitz has climbed to No. 12 in our ranking. The company's revenues and profits have climbed along with her: $16 billion in revenue has grown to nearly $26 billion, while $690 million in profits has nearly tripled to $1.9 billion.
MORE: More Americans ditch their passports
Every year, her numbers impress, and TJX's fiscal 2013 was no exception. Revenues and profits were both up by double-digits, and the discounter had its fifth year in a row of customer traffic gains. Even more impressive, TJX has had only one year with negative same-store-sales growth in 36 years. With brands including Marshalls, T.J. Maxx, and HomeGoods, the company has made attracting younger consumers a priority.
And there's still room to grow. Management thinks it can expand its store count of some 3,000 by at least 50% and is making a push into online sales. Meyrowitz, who keeps an exceedingly low profile, has set the tone from the top and believes TJX can be at least a $40 billion company.
Graham Mackay, former non-executive chairman, SABMiller
When it comes to the beer industry, the spotlight in recent years has been on ABInBev CEO Carlos Brito. He's got a great track record, but I've also always been impressed by Mackay at SABMiller, which is the second-largest brewer in the world, after Brito's shop.
Mackay, who started out as an engineer at South African Breweries in 1978, became CEO of the company in 1999 and led an acquisition spree that turned the company into the $34.5 billion brewing giant it is today -- including the 2002 purchase of Miller. Mackay was set to move into the non-executive chairman role in July. However, after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had surgery in April, the CEO succession plan was accelerated. (Mackay went back to work in September as chairman, but the company announced Friday that he would be taking another leave of absence because of his condition has worsened.). He earns major kudos for having built an operation that could continue with business as usual even amid his sudden leave of absence.
That analysts and investors want Mackay involved in the company as long as possible is a testament to his track record. The stock has returned nearly 1000% since Mackay became CEO in 1999 until he took medical leave in April.
Frank Blake, chairman and CEO, Home Depot
Since 2008, when business was crushed by the housing crisis, Blake has managed to oversee an increase in profits at the home improvement giant every year. A recovery in real estate hasn't made him forget the lessons from the Great Recession, when he decided to end new store openings. It's not easy for a CEO to decide to turn his back on that kind of growth strategy, but Blake has invested in the company in other ways -- by putting money into customer service, employees, and Home Depot's (HD) supply chain. He's shown that he knows how to make those tough calls, including pulling out of China, which doesn't have a DIY culture.
MORE: Vote: 2013 Businessperson of the Year - Tech edition
Blake thinks he can continue to grow the company (the goal is at the rate of GDP growth plus two percentage points) by focusing on the web, which currently accounts for less than 2% of the business. And investment in technology means more than just upping online sales. Earlier this year, the company bought BlackLocus, a startup that uses data to help with pricing, and turned it into the Home Depot Innovation Lab.
Howard Schultz, chairman, president, and CEO, Starbucks
The king of coffee gets one of my votes this year. Schultz is no stranger to Fortune's Business Person of the Year list -- he topped it in 2011. Like Mackay, Blake, and Meyrowitz, he has a track record of success that other CEOs covet and the ability to continuously develop new ways of growing his company. Last year, revenue and profits at Starbucks (SBUX) were up 13.7% and 11.1%, respectively.
But Schultz gets my pick for what he's done beyond the financials. At a time when most CEOs like to stay out of the weeds, he's an executive who uses his platform to support causes he believes in.
Here are a few:
Whether or not you agree with all of his positions -- and many are hard to argue against -- you have to at least respect Schultz for standing up for his principles. That's one of the characteristics that makes for a great CEO.

CARSON CITY — Gov. Brian Sandoval on Thursday announced $500,000 in new funding for the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative, aimed at expanding small-business entrepreneurship among low- and moderate-income people throughout Nevada.
"Small businesses account for most of the businesses in Nevada and will help lead job growth moving forward," Sandoval said. "This initiative will provide essential support to help local entrepreneurs obtain the training, assistance and access to loans they need to enhance their economic stability."
By offering financial support to small businesses and loaning, NMI funding provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Office of Economic Development is supporting economic growth. NMI is the only lender authorized for the U.S. Treasury micro-loan program in Nevada. The initiative's "micro loans" average $8,500.
NMI is a nonprofit organization certified by the treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution. A statewide entity, NMI supports the development of microenterprises, which are firms that typically employ five or fewer individuals and require $35,000 or less in capital assistance. Microenterprises comprise 87 percent of all businesses in Nevada.
Entrepreneurs seeking more information on the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative should visit www.4microbiz.org or 702-734-3555 in Las Vegas or 775-324-1812 in Reno.

Silence, sincerity and snacking
After the first week of actions and media work, and with the majority of Young FoEE either leaving or already gone, my main Young FoEE responsibilities ended and I was thrown abruptly into the world of policy. The day began with the FoEI meeting, where the policy experts discussed the daily agenda and brought updates from the previous day to the table.
Outside the conference venue - the Maritim Hotel - a collection of organisations, three trees and a number of dancers where protesting against deforestation, with a minute's silence held for the Peruvians who lost their lives in the protests against free trade agreements and encroachment of industry on land in the Amazon.
This was mirrored by a minute of silence in the plenary halls for the Belarusian delegate, who, on Saturday afternoon, had collapsed and died on the very sofas in the Maritim foyer that would be filled with revellers the same night.
I spent the day trying to catch up on everything that had been happening behind the doors of the Maritim halls, harassing as many colleagues as possible. The general feeling was still one of frustration; the talks do not appear to be going well. Rich industrialised countries are still failing to put forward sufficient emissions reduction targets, with Japan failing to put forward any at all, and offsetting and other false solutions still feature prominently. But, there are glimmers of hope, with progress in REDD, and Bolivia, Paraguay and El Salvador pushing on FoEI's behalf; using the FoEI language.
There was an interesting development in the Kyoto Protocol Working Group: the Micronesian delegate called for 45% emissions reductions by 2020, which would mean keeping carbon dioxide below 350 ppm (parts per million), keeping global temperature increase below 1.5 degrees, but in essence ensuring survival for many of the islands in this area of the South Pacific.
She compared the EU's target of 30% reductions to the equivalent of playing Russian roulette with their lives. It struck me as profound that with so many climate change sceptics out there, here inside the walls of a rather modern, shiny but bland hotel next to a motorway in Bonn, an entire subregion of Oceania was battling to keep their tropical islands above water.
Further policy discussions with colleagues continued in the Maritim restaurant, where we were forced to eat expensive salads due to the lack of options. It was either an intentional decision by the UNFCCC to only provide expensive food within the Maritim so as to starve out NGO workers, or it was subtle ploy to make sure everyone went to side events – where food was provided.
Needless to say we fell for it, and found ourselves at the Copenhagen Climate Treaty side event, where the NGO community were putting forward their proposal for a Copenhagen agreement. I found myself struggling to keep up with the figures, and was relieved at the comic interlude when the speakers introduced a new acronym, LCAP (Low Carbon Action Plan), bringing the total in the document to 82. In general it seemed a decent proposal, but more discussion and analysis is needed to find where it coincides and clashes with FoEI policy.
More comments to come. With the Q&A over, we left our seats, and dived into the snacks...

Water flows down a damaged street in Duluth, Minn. on Wednesday, June 20, 2012. Duluth Mayor Don Ness said he would declare a state of emergency after the deluge of up to 9 inches of rain that he said caused extensive damage to the port city of about 86,000. Ness said the order would start the process to obtain federal aid. Gov. Mark Dayton said he would travel to Duluth on Thursday to discuss how the state can help.

Hi there,
I have been jailbreaking/unlocking since the original iphone came out and this is the first time I have had an issue. I really could use someone's help cause I just sold my phone on ebay and I need to ship it to the guy soon. This all started when I was resetting my phone settings and deleting my personal info on the phone. Its a 3GS with the newer bootroom. I was at 4.2.1 cooked with pwnage and tethered jailbroken with redsn0w and unlocked with ultrasn0w at baseband 5.12.01. Everything worked fine till i was getting ready to ship it and reset all settings and wiped the phone. after the reboot i was stuck at the apple logo. So I went into DFU mode and tried to restore with a custom 4.2.1 firmware. It would fail. I would get error 1600. I read somewhere that starting with 4.2.1 that once you put it on and jailbreak it, you can't put it on again. I am not sure if its true. Anyways, I tried restoring in recovery mode and no luck. I tried rejailbreaking it with redsn0w but it would stall at "installing bundles". So I tried downgrading to and standard 3.1.2 firmware and it worked. from there I once made back to a custom 4.2.1 but when I tried to jailbreak with greenpois0n, it crashed my and my phone was back in recovery loop and I couldn't restore again to 4.2.1. I was able to go back down to 3.2.1 tho. so that is where i am at now and every time i try to restore with a cooked 4.1. or 4.2.1 firmware, i get a error 21 in itunes and I need to use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode afterwards.
Does anyone have any idea what happened and how can I get this phone back to 4.2.1 without upgrading the baseband so I can eventually unlock and jailbreak the phone again? I really could use someones help here. Im pretty experienced so quick solutions are fine. I can't afford to refund the money to the buyer either. Thanks to anyone whiling help. Seriously.

Hang tight!
Recipe by USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson
"Green Beans With Mustard Cream Sauce and Toasted Almonds is my answer to classic green bean casserole. The vegetables and sauce can be made in the morning. Before serving, heat them together and sprinkle with almonds."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
4 tablespoons
1 (16 ounce) package
frozen pearl onions or small whole white onions
2 pounds
green beans, trimmed and snapped into 2-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup
chicken broth
1/4 cup
Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup
slivered almonds, toasted until fragrant in a 325-degree oven (10 minutes or less)
The end result was very tasty but the method was way over complicated! I softened a finely diced onion (couldn't find pearl onions) in a pan whilst the milk mixture was heating in the microwave. I added the butter & flour to the onions, added the milk and cooked till just starting to thicken. I then added some frozen green beans and simmered for 10 mins until the beans were cooked and sauce thick. Didn't use 1/4 cup of mustard as I thought that was excessive. How much mustard you need will depend on the brand you use & personal taste preference.
10 Ratings
I made this last year for Thanksgiving, and it got rave reviews. I used fresh green beans, instead of frozen, and thinly sliced Vidalia onions instead of pearl onions. Everyone loved it, and I will definatley make this again.
This turned out much better than I expected. The only thing I recommend is to stick with the 2 lbs of green beans (if possible), otherwise there's just too much sauce and it ends up overpowering the dish.
Great taste. I made it as a condiment for pasta and it worked out great. I also added carrots, because I didn't have enough beans.
A very good recipe, a nice side to any dish.
Yummy! A very nice change from the standard green bean casserole.

Brian Scalabrine turns down Bulls coaching job to broadcast for Celtics
Former Bulls forward Brian Scalabrine turned down an assistant coaching job and will instead broadcast Celtics games for Comcast Sports New England, reports Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
Brian Scalabrine has turned down coaching job with Bulls and will call games for Comcast Sports New England this season, he tells Y! Sports.—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) September 06, 2012
Scalabrine had chance to join Tom Thibodeau's coaching staff and says, "Saying no to Thibs was the hardest decision I've ever had to make."—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) September 06, 2012
Scalabrine played for the Celtics for five years prior to joining the Bulls in 2010. He averaged 1.1 points, 0.6 rebounds and 4.6 minutes per game during his two seasons with the Bulls and became a free agent at the end of last year. While the "White Mamba" may not be done playing altogether–he's left open the possibility of playing overseas in January–he likely won't be returning to the NBA.
Scalabrine isn't prepared to say he's retired from playing in the NBA but concedes, "I had zero opportunities. Not some, but zero."—
Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) September 06, 2012
The decision doesn't come as a big surprise, as the 11-year veteran told ESPNChicago in January that he preferred a broadcasting job over an NBA coaching position.

Q: Was Jesus married?
A: Earlier this week, headlines announced that a new discovery shows Jesus was married. These bold claims are based on the discovery of a papyrus fragment written in an ancient Egyptian language known as Coptic. According to the translation by Dr. Karen L. King, the tiny fragment contains these words: "Jesus said to them, 'my wife' . . ."
Of course, without the surrounding context or any other copies of this document, it is practically impossible to determine what this writing is really about. But for the sake of argument, let's assume this text should be understood in a straightforward manner and that Jesus was not using the term wife metaphorically. If true, should we start believing that Jesus was married? Not at all!
The papyrus is likely from the fourth century AD—three centuries after Jesus died and rose. Even as a scholar known for her favorable treatment of various non-canonical texts, King advised that this does not prove in any way that Jesus was married, only that some early groups had a tradition that Jesus was married.
Continue reading five key reasons to believe Jesus was not married.

Eisner Awards Current Info
Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards 2014 Nominees
Comic-Con International is proud to announce the nominations for the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards 2014. The nominees, chosen by a blue-ribbon panel of judges, reflect the wide range of material being published in comics and graphic novel form today, from history (real and imagined) to science fiction to autobiography.

James Romberger
Fine artist and cartoonist who lives and works in Manhattan's Lower East Side
In the mid-1980s, he was co-founder of the seminal East Village installation gallery Ground Zero. Romberger's pastel drawings are in many private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Post York, his multimedia comic book/flexidisc collaboration with his son Crosby for Uncivilized Books, was nominated for an Eisner award in 2013, a year that also saw a revised edition of the critically acclaimed graphic novel Seven Miles a Second, Romberger's collaboration with Marguerite Van Cook and the late David Wojnarowicz (published by Fantagraphics). For DC/Vertigo, Romberger collaborated with MacArthur fellow Jay Cantor on Aaron and Ahmed, with Peter Milligan on Bronx Kill, and with Jamie Delano on the "Renegade" arc of 2020 Visions. He is a longtime contributor to the activist comics magazine World War 3 Illustrated. Romberger also writes critically for Publisher's Weekly and the pop culture websites Hooded Utilitarian, The Beat, and Comics Journal.
The Eisner Awards are presented under the auspices of Comic-Con International: San Diego, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to creating awareness of and appreciation for comics and related popular artforms, primarily through the presentation of conventions and events that celebrate the historic and ongoing contributions of comics to art and culture.

Not That I'm Bitter
9:10 AM EST, January 11, 2013
Quick: when you see the phrase "Don peplums," do you think the second word should be capitalized because you assume it's a proper noun, as in Don Corleone?
Do you, for example, think "peplum" is another word for baby food? Or do you read it as "pe-plum" and think it's a genetically engineered snack derived from peas and plums, something the English might serve on toast?
Perhaps you think it's eco-friendly gravel hybrid containing pebbles since "p" and the "b" sound similar to you, even in print?
Are you, in other words, like most people and have no idea what those two words mean when buttoned together?
Or — and this is the real test — are you one of those hip and stylish fashion mavens who already know "Don peplums" is not only a full sentence but an imperative one at that?
It turns out that "Don peplums" is something women have been saying to other women for several months now.
Had I overheard a conversation between adults where one whispers to the other "Don peplums," I would have leapt to all sorts of false conclusions involving secret codes, foreign assignations, gender reassignment and, quite possibly, the Spanish Inquisition.
Yet I learned recently, through a quick glance at 1,743 magazines I didn't get to read last year after buying subscriptions from a friend's child who needed to go on a day trip with her school to, apparently, Neptune since I ordered so many publications that I could have simply paid for her to spend a week touring the French countryside by private pony cart and still had money to pay for the rest of her class to follow her on foot (not that I'm bitter), connoisseurs of couture have been referring to peplums repeatedly during the last several seasons.
For those of you haven't had a chance to get to the pile of magazines next to your bed since 1997, "Don peplums" can be translated as follows: "Women: Try wearing an extra overskirt flounce sewn onto, and dropping from the waistline, meant to sharpen the already existing shape of your body by using a frill or flounce that comes down the midsection and sits just above your hips. Seriously! Just try it. We'll watch."
You'll have figured out by now that "Don," in this two-word sentence, is the verb. The only other time "don" is commonly appears in that usage is when we sing "Don we now our gay apparel." Coincidence? You decide.
You know who looked good in peplum dresses? Lauren Bacall, Lana Turner and Gene Tierney. Tall, lanky, bedroom-eyed broads who commandeered the script, the studio, and had the contracts for the seamstresses sewn up. But, trust me, if you're old enough or sophisticated enough to recognize the names of these stars, then you're too smart a cookie to don a peplum today.
Because unless you're Kate Middleton or Nicole Kidman, a peplum will have the instantaneous effect of making you look like you've stapled lampshade or tutu to your waist, right over your pencil skirt. It's either that, or the peplum will make you look like you've just opened a diminutive Totes umbrella on your lap and are, rather bravely, keeping it there to disguise a spill.
Apart from glamorous actresses, you know who also donned the peplum? The whole chorus line of my 5-foot-2, 300-pound, 75-year-old Sicilian aunts, that's who. Frankly, these fashionistas couldn't get enough of the additional flaps of material layering over the general waist/hip environs; it was as close as they could come to wearing an apron outside the house.
These women did make real fashion efforts for formal occasions. After all, they hoisted above their majestic knees the white elastic holding up their support hose for weddings and funerals. Except for ceremonious functions or one of the big feast days, that elastic remained snugly in place below the knee.
But my aunts, wise women all, would not have dreamed that anything, certainly not an "extra overskirt," would sharpen the existing shape of their bodies. Frills wouldn't triumph where support hose feared to tread. The only thing likely to be sitting above their hips was a grandchild.
2013's Fashion Rule: Don't know what it is? Don't don it.

Tim-Buck's Bar-B-Q Sauces
Margie Thompson, who owns this business with husband Tommy Thompson, has been making barbecue sauce in her own Roanoke Rapids kitchen for more than 25 years. After encouragement from friends and family, these Roanoke Electric members began bottling it for the public. Their mild and hot sauces (called Tim-Buck because that is Tommy's nickname) are sold in stores throughout eastern North Carolina and Virginia as well as online. A set of three bottled sauces (16 fluid ounces each) sells for $12 and they can mix hot and mild bottles for the set upon request.

Embroidery shop owner Marcy Singer gets hung up on a tapestry that may lead to sunken treasure and be the motive for murder....
When Marcy's friend Reggie, Tallulah Falls' local librarian, asks her to teach an embroidery class as therapy for domestic abuse victims, she gladly agrees. One of the women wants to flee from her abusive husband but is afraid to leave her elderly father-in-law behind. And she thinks Marcy can help.
The elderly gentleman shows Marcy a tapestry his grandmother made, which he believes reveals the location of pirate treasure off the Oregon coast. He'll move to a shelter—provided Marcy takes the tapestry to keep it safe. But when the police arrive the next day to escort him out, they find the old man murdered and the house ransacked. Does someone want that treasured tapestry desperately enough to kill for it?

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I wanted something fun and slightly informal and this product was perfect. We're a young couple with a mostly young guest list, so we didn't want anything stuffy. This is modern, well laid out, and the service was great. I had to get some personalizing done because the full name of our church wasn't fitting on there. This was important to us because this is the oldest church in the area, so I wanted it to be as accurate as possible. Everything was to me in the time they said it would be. They are very punctual and they always have some sort of deal being offered, so there shouldn't be a need to pay full price unless it's a last minute order. I will be coming to WPD for all of my needs and I would suggest them to anyone."
"This vibrant, modern style is chic, eye catching, original, just like the couple getting married. I love the front/back of the card, the font and color combinations. I haven't quite decided on my invites yest, but these invitations make it harder to choose!"
"I absolutely love these invitations. We customised it to have the writing a beautiful blue but kept the red heart. It looks stunning. We love it because its a very simple and different wedding invitation."
"Great design. We got the back changed to the solid yellow like we had on the front. We couldn't get any other patterns. The paper was a little rougher than I thought but all good."
"Simple but elegant text & colour matched our stylish wedding theme. Paper quality & envelopes exceeded my expectations. The delivery time was so fast. Thank you for a great product, reasonable pricing and speedy delivery. An outstanding service experience all round."

On the island or the mainland, these multi-tasking convertible pants are made from performance fabric that's quick-drying, 30 UPF and treated with water-shedding DWR to stand up to excessive sun, fog or wind; DriClime® interior waistband manage moistures. Extra packable, these pant legs zip off to convert into 7 ½" inseam shorts; inseam gusseted panel for maximum freedom of movement.
UPF stand for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. Clothing can protect you from the sun's ultraviolet rays. It all depends on the fiber content, weave, weight of fabric and color.
SPF stands for the Sun Protection Factor, most commonly associated with sunscreen. This measures the amount of time it takes for skin to burn. UPF on the other hand stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is a measure of the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches your skin. For example, a fabric rated with a UPF of 20 will allow only 1/20th of the sun's UV rays to pass through.
Marmot UPF fabrics come in UPF 20, 25, 30, 35, 45 & 50.
Wearing a UPF fabric would greatly reduce your exposure to UV rays, (where it covers your body). Dark colors and tight weaves will have higher UPF ratings. As well, nylons and polyesters are better than plain cotton because they reflect radiation.
Why do we encourage proper care of our clothing and gear?
Because you have invested in (or are thinking about investing in) one of the most technically advanced pieces of apparel or equipment you'll ever own and we want to make sure you have the information you need to protect and care for your purchase. Proper care assures you will optimize the performance of your Marmot product and maximize its service-life.

I have been working at InBev
Pros – Bargaining unit gives you time to brace yourself for a up coming rough ride in contract negotiation; this i am thankful for. Good expeirence with technical skills. supervisors are good to work with for most part, upper managment is different story. Kind of like the government, they are so dissconnected from the people they are supposed to support.
Cons – learn how company hierarchy works. Learn how managment promotions are givin to those who lack expierence. Be prepaired to learn on your own; managment doesnt even know there own job because they are moved around so much; cant blame them, they are in the same boat.
Advice to Senior Management – why advise, you already know everything.....right?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

It is not a joke and can hurt a lot of things by sending someone with no qualifications or education. You just don't send someone just because they are a relative of a politician. That is why we go to school and write exams and if we pass we go on the the next until we go to either university or college to learn about the skillsand training needed to do the job. The Zambian ministry is indeed a circus full of clowns.

Floral Frame
Add romance to any room with a frame that's lovingly embellished by you!
Material List
- Studio Décor™ Frame
- Recollections™ Floral Embellishments – 8 Styles as Desired
- Recollections™ Butterfly Embellishments
- Beacon Fabri-Tac™
Project Instructions
Starting with the flat printed flower petals in the lower right hand corner of the frame, glue a row of three petals across the bottom and up the right side to bridge over the curved area of the frame.
Repeat at the upper left corner but use only two smaller printed flower petals across the top and down the left side. This will create a flat base on which to adhere the more dimensional flowers and embellishments.
Adhere a flower in the lower right corner on top of the large paper flower base petal. Glue the other dimensional flowers as illustrated, across the bottom and up the right side. Glue on the pink crochet medallion to the frame and then add on the small dogwood flowers.
At the upper left corner, adhere the dimensional flowers as shown on top of the base petals. Add the taupe crochet flower and butterfly last.
Cut into segments one piece of lace and crystal flourish to embellish each end of the floral design, following suggested placement in sample. The crystals are self-adhesive but will need to be pressed into place on the curved edges of the frame. The ends of the crystals will slide easily under the flower edges for a finished look.
Cut one piece of white glitter tendril into 6 equal lengths. Wrap straighter sections around a pencil or wood dowel to make smooth curls. Stretch and bend each slightly into pleasing curves and glue bottom ends under the flower edges to complete the frame.

Attached to the Caribbean's best golf course, the Rose Hall Ritz offers traditionally top-notch food, service, facilities, bathrooms, beds...well, everything. The resort's a safe bet, but the small, rocky beach crowds in the winter and its on-site restaurants (the only food within a 15-minute drive) can cost a fortune.
Round Hill is phenomenal. Sincere, intimate hospitality; private child care; large, beautifully designed rooms by Ralph Lauren; and breathtaking grounds (to which no photo can do justice) -- it is easily among the best resorts in Jamaica, even with a few mosquitoes and ants in the room.
Arguably Jamaica's most romantic escape (for adults only), the Caves' 12 unique, private cottages and suites are tucked along lush garden paths and dramatic seaside cliffs (there's no beach). High-quality, locally focused cuisine, a top-shelf bar, and intimate, incredibly attentive service make it Jamaica's best all-inclusive, though nearby Tensing Pen and Rockhouse offer similar settings at cheaper prices.
Quiet and classy, the colonial-style, 74-room, adults-only (18+) Sandals Royal Plantation snatched a prime patch of beach when it was built in the 1950s along with luxury icons Round Hill and Half Moon. Excellent food, service, beds, and spa -- it's Ocho Rios's best luxe for the buck, but you get more for your money at Half Moon in Montego Bay.
Drawing everyone from Queen Elizabeth to 50 Cent, Half Moon strives for timeless, understated luxury (even at the swim-up bar). Stretching over 400 acres (including 2 miles of beach), the 230-room resort offers attentive service, quality cuisine, and seemingly limitless activities like golfing and horseback riding.
The lush, laid-back Rockhouse creates a holistic haven -- gourmet dining, morning yoga, cliffside loungers, a premium spa, no kids under 12, and beautiful eco-appropriate design. But most astounding are the reasonable rates. (The slightly chicer Caves costs about three times more.)
A small, romantic resort that once drew Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller, the Jamaica Inn is about quiet luxury -- a single thatch-roofed bar, a small pool, and beautiful rooms with oversize terraces and soft, colonial décor. This is not the place to party (the whole resort typically shuts down by midnight).
With modern features, professional service, and a huge on-site water park, this relaxed, beachside golf resort is more popular with somber families than rum-chugging partiers. Though the rooms are small, they feature flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, spa-quality bath products, great beds, and a powerful Wi-Fi signal -- all rare luxuries in Jamaica.
With just 30 hippy-chic cottages in secluded Treasure Beach, Jake's is a member of Bespoke Hotels, a trendy, luxury hotel group. Guests come to unplug -- there's no phone, Internet, or TV in the cottages. The black-sand beaches aren't Jamaica's most impressive, but the Driftwood Spa, on-site painting and yoga classes, and excellent food make this a particular favorite.
With an intimate collection of 17 cottages (22 rooms), Tensing Pen is where guests come to unplug -- no TVs, phones, or radios in the rooms -- and enjoy the breathtaking cliffs of Negril's west end. The pool, spa, and restaurant are a little smaller and less popular than at the similarly priced, similarly styled Rockhouse boutique, but most guests prefer the quiet exclusivity found here.
