Alexander Wang: Now Anna Wintour-Approved
>> Alexander Wang's sweat-inspired Spring 2009 collection, featuring shiny-faced models, was quite appropriate — yesterday had the fashion crowd dripping from heat, and today, Tropical Storm Hanna blew in just in time for Alex's show.
Not that the weather would keep anyone away; Anna Wintour attended Alex's show for the first time ever — a symbol of his quick rise. As the lights went down, the sunglasses went on, and she only broke pose a couple of times — once to consult Virginia Smith's program, and the other to fiddle with her BlackBerry.
The show was definitely a different experience, now that Alex has moved on from Erin Wasson, collaborating with stylist Alastair McKimm instead, but all of the classic Wang elements — zippers, leather, a slouchy, downtown feel — were all there. The only major slip up was at the end, when all the models — stellar cast, I might add (Jourdan Dunn!) — took their final tour and got stopped up returning backstage. We're talking line of models, basically at a standstill, at the end of the show. Alex skipped out, did his usual jump and punch the air routine. And then Anna ran out.
To get the full experience, check out the runway video on Elle.com.

Iniesta facing two months out
06 Nov 2008 - 08:01:40
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta says he will take his time to ensure a full recovery from a leg injury which is likely to sideline him for at least two months.
The 24-year-old Spain international suffered the problem in the 1-1 Champions League draw at home to Swiss side FC Basel, with later scans showing a torn muscle in his right leg.
Iniesta told Marca: "All I'm worried about is getting better. I have to be calm and think about myself.
"I had hoped it was something less serious, but it is what it is. I don't feel great, but looking backwards serves no purpose."
Barca club doctor, Ricard Pruna, told the club's official: "We've spoken to the player so that he knows the most important thing is for him to be calm, as that is the way to recover from this type of injury.
"I would suggest a recovery period of six to eight weeks before he returns to playing, so that this injury does not bother him again in the future."

There are two distinct phases in the ABET accreditation process:
Note: Some programs must undergo a Readiness Review prior to submitting an RFE.
Before an institution submits a formal Request for Evaluation for a program, the program must have in place processes for internal assessment. These processes may take several years to develop. During this preparation phase, a program must:
Programs that have met the eligibility requirements and completed their assessment planning may begin the accreditation process with the submission of a Request for Evaluation or a Readiness Review if required.

What would you do? My favorite champion is Shen. I would, bring him to my home, and offer him some tea. As well as comfort him because he is always banned in competitive play. Seriously guys!! Give this ninja a break! ( no just kidding ban the son of a gun, his constant split pushing pressure is a pain to deal with, but I still love this guy )
Run away before he sends the crows on me

Offer to bring him home and give him hot cocoa on the condition that he doesn't blow the living hell out of my garage. It's Ziggs by the way.
Garblax III
Mine's Riven, so I dunno treat her to dinner and a movie then have her home before 12 (seriously I would date the **** out of Riven).
Veigar is probably just plotting something evil, so I'll report him to the authorities and walk on by.
I would become his friend, since he is so lonely and sad his tears are flowing down the street.
Zeke Highwind
Mine's Talon. I would give him my money, and likely my belongings, because OH GOD DON'T STAB ME
I'd talk my wife into adopting Lulu xD
I lend Ryze some money. It's hard to get back on your feet straight out of Rune Prison.
I'd let him be my new roommate and hunting buddy. Tentorer and Rengar, clearing the forest, one void creature at a time.

TMZ is reporting that popular comedian Patrice O'Neal died on Monday night after suffering complications from a stroke he had in October. O'Neal's friend Opie from the Opie and Anthony radio show recently confirmed the news on Twitter, writing, "Yes it's true that our pal Patrice O'Neal has passed away. The funniest and best thinker I've ever known PERIOD." Tragically, O'Neal was only 41 years old.
Most of us know O'Neal from his memorable stand-up routines, where he quickly became a staple in the wonderful world of comedy. His last national TV performance was at the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen, where his health was humorously criticized by the other roasters. O'Neal also made hilarious appearances on several TV shows such as Chappelle Show, The Office, and Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. Check out part of his roasting skit for Sheen below to remember what a true comedic gem he really was. RIP O'Neal -- you will be missed!

Too short and low to the ground. I'm only 5'11 (male) and this nightstand is way too short. I have to get down on one knee to open and view the drawer. I know it's my own fault for not taking the measurement specifications into consideration, but I really didn't expect a nightstand to be this low. I'm being very serious when I say that this is perfect for a midget. So now my plan is to give this tiny set to my future child when I have one, and then get a normal sized bedroom set for myself.

Tiny but matches the bed We put it together with a screwdriver. Not difficult. It is a very small nightstand but it matches the bed. Considering a second one if they go back on sale.

Will not recommend it to buy The quality is good. But when I assembled this nightstand it was surprisingly low. Be aware about the height and the width of this nightstand. To me it looks like a toy. However this was my mistake as i did not check or asked for its dimensions. Other than that I cannot complain for the quality, color and assembly . Everything was good

Awesome Great value and super easy to put together. I read the other reviews before I purchased them and was apprehensive to say the least. I opened the first box and started laughing because I could have figured out the assembly without direction. If one finds this difficult to put together they should keep it private out of shame.

Basic Nightstand I purchased this more to have a matching piece to the Alsa bed and to give my room a sense of cohesivness. The quality is mediocre and it on on the small side so not much of a storage piece. Overall I I think the price is too high for what you get.

Excellent I received the two night stands yesterday and started assembly. They arrived in excellent shape and the assembly went really easy. I would highly recommend these night stands to anyone looking for a quality piece to add to their bedroom. By the way a power drill will really speed up the assembly. Instructions were pretty clear, however, assembly is a no brainer. I intend to purchase both the chest and dresser. Hope this helps you make a decision, you can't go wrong with this piece !!!!!

Decent Nightstand I think the assembly instructions are pretty sufficient. The only problem that I had was that I put the slider things on the drawers backwards, but I attribute that to user error rather than a design flaw. All said and done, it is a very nice height to go along with the bed, I highly recommend just parting with the extra cash to have a matching set than to just get the bed and "figure out the nightstand issue later". The drawer is not as fluid as I would like, but it works.

Great quality, easily assembled Hubby and I assembled this in about 20 minutes with no problems or having to re-do steps the way most self-assembled furniture causes. Instructions were clear and well written, parts list was complete and detailed. They included a spare for each group of small parts, a nice detail. The holes are accurately drilled, and there were even tiny screws instead of the finishing nails that other furniture includes to hold on backing panels. The finished product is fairly heavy, sturdy, and looks more like "furniture store" product than mail order. This low table is perfect to match my platform bed. I don't understand the critical reviews I've seen here. I'm happy with it,and will be ordering a second one for another room.

Beautiful nightstand I really like this piece, it has a rich dark finish (espresso I think). It could easily hold two men standing on top. Be careful when putting the drawer together, i snapped a wooden dowl and had to drill it out. Assembly was otherwise easy and straight forward.

Alsa 1-drawer nightstand After much searching and being quite disappointed in the poor quality of furniture available in my price range, I bought the Alsa platform (queen size) bed from OS. Nightstands were not available at that time.I was so pleased that I dogged OS on a regular basis until the nightstands were available again. These are stylish, well made and really finish off the look with the matching bed and are a really fine quality for the price . I am so delighted I did so. I have NEVER been disappointed in the quality of anything I purchased from OS and am a regular customer. I always check with OS before purchasing anything for my home.

Questions & Answers
The description says the top is 16x12, however the dimensions say the product is 20" wide, 16" deep, and 10" high. What is the actual width of the front of the nightstand? We only have about 18 or so inches between the side of the bed and the wall so that couple extra inches makes a difference.
Hello StephenPAdam, we apologize for the confusion, the overall dimensions are approximately 20 inches wide x 16 inches deep x 12 inches high. Thanks for shopping with us!
How long would it take for this item to be restocked?
It takes about two hours for one person. It came in small pieces but if you follow the directions you will get it.
Hello rmontel, items are restocked as they become available; however we cannot guarantee an item will be restocked. Thank you for shopping with us!
If I lost the runners, part F, is it possible to acquire independent hardware separately?
Hi jeffb21, thank you for your inquiry. In the event you lose any pieces we would be glad to assist you with any replacement parts.
The "Product Detail" states that this item is available in wenge color also. I did not, however, see an option to choose a color. Is this item actually available in wenge?
Hello babywoof, this color is what the manufacturer considers to be wenge color. I hope this helps. Have a great day!
When can I expect this to be in stock again!?! I would love to buy this when I buy the bed that matches it but I'm scared you guys might not have it in in time! If its not can I go ahead and buy 2, just ship them out when they're in stock again???
This product has been restocked and is available for purchase.

Rolex FAQ
FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches | Overstock.comFAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watchesby Shawna Edwards I've never made a large purchase online. Why pick Overstock.com?Overstock.com is one of the largest retailers of high-end jewelry and watches. We have taken the time to create a Web environment that caters to our customers by allowing them to comfortably shop for wristwatches from the privacy of their homes. We offer our customers a wide variety of timepieces at the most competitive prices available. In addition to this, we want them to feel secure purchasing from us. Overstock.com is one of a handful of online high-end watch merchants that are capable of processing your credit card for your entire purchase. This allows "first-time buyers" to feel more secure in making a large purchase because they have an added layer of security via their credit card company. Do all your Rolex watches come with their serial numbers?Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial and reference numbers in place and viewable by removing the watch band from the six o'clock and twelve o'clock ends. What is meant by "Perfect Like New Condition?""Perfect like new (day one) condition" watches are pre-owned Rolex timepieces that are purchased by Overstock.com in pristine, mint and immaculate condition. This obviously is the case cosmetically and mechanically. Every timepiece is thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are authentic and meet our quality standards. These luxury watches are so pristine that, in most cases, they are indistinguishable from new watches. Our men's watches and women's watches may have miniscule markings, and the watch bracelets will have miniscule amounts of stretch. Will my watch come with documentation?Every watch will come with detailed documentation stating a full watch description, serial number and model number. Being that the manufacturer's warranty has expired, you will receive a limited one-year warranty from our vendor. Will my watch be covered by a warranty, and what about post warranty service?Being that the manufacturer's warranties on these timepieces have expired, our vendor issues a one-year limited warranty on every watch. The warranty work is done by expert watchmakers who use only original manufacturers' parts and have decades of experience working with Rolex watches. After the one-year limited warranty has expired, you may continue to request service through our vendor who will service the watch when needed at industry cost prices. How can I be sure that the watch will fit my wrist?All our watches will fit up to a 6-and-a-half-inch wrist for a woman and for a man will fit up to a 7-and-a-half-inch wrist (extra links are available for additional charges). Rolex watches can be easily resized to fit any wrist by your local jeweler. How do I measure for my wrist size?You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft measuring tape or measuring the inside of your best fitting watch. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a ribbon or a piece of string around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and measure it against a ruler to determine your approximate wrist size. To get the best fit, measure fairly snug at the wrist bone. This is approximate sizing not a 100 percent guarantee of prefect sizing.If the watch is a gift and you do not know the recipient's wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (as with all products, the standard sizes depend on the manufacturer):Men's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Average6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2"Adult X-Large8-1/2" to 9-1/2" Women's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small4-1/2" to 5-1/2"Adult Average5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Large6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult X-Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2" Will the watch be fully water-resistant? And can I go swimming or shower with my watch?Every Rolex watch is fully tested for water resistance; the total depth rating is listed with every model. Drawing on years of experience, it is our recommendation that, though Rolex watches are water resistant, because of the fine nature of the timepiece, we discourage our customers from making a practice of taking them in the shower or pool. If for some reason the stem, which is the round mechanism found on the side of the case, which is unscrewed to set the time, is not completely screwed down, water could leak into the movement and damage the watch. (Please refer to your warranty card regarding water damage.) The chances are incredibly slim that this will happen, but nonetheless it is our recommendation that our customers refrain from taking their Rolex watches into the water to avoid any unnecessary problems. How does Overstock.com offer such great prices when my local jeweler has a similar piece for considerably more?Overstock.com has built the best connections in the business, affording us the ability to buy from dealers at the highest level of the industry. Through these connections we can buy in the largest quantities while getting the best pricing. Being that we are not an authorized dealer of Rolex or affiliated with Rolex, USA we are able to offer our customers rock bottom pricing without being subject to any manufacturer's price controls or policies. Do I need to be present to sign for the package?For your safety, you will need to sign for the package that contains your watch. If you are not present when it arrives, the package will not be left at your door. A door tag will be left to inform you when the courier will come to redeliver your package. Alternatively, you can call the courier to arrange a better delivery time or pick-up (with photo identification) at the local hub. What is the benefit of buying a pre-owned Rolex over a new one?Unlike new Rolex watches, pre-owned Rolex watches do not depreciate in value immediately after purchase. Therefore, buying a new Rolex watch is like buying a brand new car: The moment you drive it off the lot it has lost 20 to 30 percent of its value. With buying a pre-owned watch, you have effectively cut out any value depreciation and retail markup. Rolex watches hold their value over time; in most cases, a pre-owned Rolex can be resold at a price very close to your purchase price.Rolex designs don't change too often; therefore, owning a perfect condition pre-owned timepiece is as good as a new one, with no one knowing that the watch was purchased pre-owned. No one can spot a used Rolex on your wrist. With the proper care and maintenance, a Rolex lasts forever. How do I determine the age of my watch?You are guaranteed to receive a desirable modern watch with a fully automatic self-winding (or quartz movement depending on your purchase), with quickset date feature. Due to the fact that Rolex models are manufactured for a number of years, the year of your watch will be circa 1980s or 1990s. Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial number, which determines the year of manufacture. Overstock.com and our Rolex Vendors are not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex, USA Inc., and are not an authorized Rolex dealer. Third party One-Year Warranty.

Valiant for Truth - Pastoral Ministry
As a professor, one of the questions that students regularly ask me, "How can I succeed in class?" My answer is usually the same, and I suspect that most ignore it.
Did you ever think that late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon could offer sage advice regarding getting your next call?
One of the reasons going to seminary appears to be a daunting task is because the thought of learning Greek and Hebrew strikes fear in the hearts ordinary people.
Just because everyone does something doesn't mean that they're good at it. Take conversation, for example.
One of the most tempting things in the pastorate is to tell someone they should leave the church. At first glance, such a sentiment might seem totally out of character for a pastor, but there are some factors can make it sound like reasonable counsel.

We were first introduced to Samsung's ES8000 series back in May. It's their flagship LCD for 2012, and on top of being an impressive, high-end TV, it also operated with some innovative voice and gesture controls, and showed off Samsung's content-heavy Smart Hub, their 2012 smart TV platform.
Meet the E8000--the plasma version of Samsung's high-quality LCD flagship. It's got all the same features: voice and gesture controls, full HD 3D, the Smart Hub, and Samsung's new Smart Touch remote. But this time around, it's all bundled up into a relatively thin Plasma TV.
The E8000 is an odd bird for being a flagship plasma. Plasma televisions are known for their deep black levels, wide viewing angles, and smooth motion. Oddly enough, the E8000 showed us neither particularly deep black levels, nor completely blur-free motion (though both were good enough, if not better). On the other hand, the E8000 has some of the most accurate 2D and 3D color production we've seen this year, and a viewing angle that almost maxed out the possible 180° from center.
Combining these eccentric, but nevertheless impressive, core specs with solid 3D technology, Samsung's well-designed Smart Hub, and a smart, aesthetically sound design centric makes for one top-notch plasma. It's also important to consider the relation of screen size to price when comparing the E8000 (a plasma television) to its LCD-twin, the ES8000. Larger screen sizes for the E8000 will be considerably cheaper than those same size screens for the ES8000. This is another advantage the E8000 holds as Samsung's flagship plasma.

Stroller Handlebar Cover
By: Amber Carrillo for One Shabby Chick
Dress up your stroller with this cute Stroller Handlebar Cover. Use a fun patterned fabric to make this simple sewing project stand out! Best of all, when the cover gets dirty you can put it in the washing machine.
- 1/2 yard of fabric
- 8.5" x 26.5" piece of batting (you could also use fleece)
- 6 sets of snaps (I used size 16)
Cut two pieces of fabric measuring 8.5" x 27" long (again - check your stroller first and determine your measurements from there).
Lay your fabrics right sides together and lay batting on top of fabrics.
When you lay the batting on top of the fabrics, your fabric will be 1/2" longer at the top edge - this is correct. You don't want to have too many layers when you fold your fabric in to close it.
Sew along three edges with a 1/2" seam, leaving top open.
Turn right sides out and iron all edges flat.
Fold fabric in at the open edge and iron. Pin opening closed and then sew around all 4 edges using a 1/4" seam.
Now you'll have one long piece.
You will place one snap at each end and then place snaps at 5" intervals across the whole cover. Make sure you place them so that when the handle bar cover closes, they snap together.
You're done, I told you it was easy! Now go get your stroller and snap on the new cover!

So what this means for me as an enduser without an A7, is I will get updates for all my apps without actual updates but with larger universal binaries.
Sounds a bit like a period with my iPad2 where I got all these updates which didn't update anything but enlarged the footprint of all my apps (and gave space issues on my 16Gb version) because I needed to download all retina graphics etc.

SWAT team moved in after 16 hours of talks. It's not yet known if the man shot himself.
Anoka County sheriff's dog, Rocky.
A Ham Lake man was found shot to death in his house Thursday after a 16-hour standoff that culminated with a SWAT team storming the residence behind a patrol dog, which was killed during an ensuing exchange of gunfire.
Authorities say an autopsy will reveal whether the man, identified by friends and neighbors as 70-year-old Theodore Kowalzek, shot himself or was killed by a SWAT team officer who returned the gunfire that authorities say killed Rocky, a 7-year-old Belgian Malinois that served as a patrol dog for five years.
"I know the Anoka County Sheriff's Office believes that Rocky is a hero and that he saved the lives of their deputies; he went in first," said Andy Skoogman, spokesman for the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, which is heading the investigation. "It's cliché, but he paid the ultimate price. They're very shaken up in Anoka County about this."
Authorities would not release the name of the officer who fired at Kowalzek.
Those who knew Kowalzek, a father and grandfather who was a regular at a local bar, were left Thursday to try to comprehend the actions of a man known to shoot his guns almost every day and attract a lot of visits from police.
"The cops have always been over at Ted's house; there's always been problems there," said neighbor Karla Jesinoski, who arrived home at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday to find the neighborhood blocked off. "I've been here for 31 years, and it's been going on for 31 years. The cops know him upside down."
According to records, Kowalzek had multiple convictions, including driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an injury accident and implied consent test refusal.
'I'm completely shocked'
But Todd Chester, owner of the Route 65 Bar and Grill in East Bethel, where Kowalzek stopped most days and was known as "Teddy," said he wasn't a violent man.
"He never brought harm to anybody," said Chester.
"Everyone who knew him knew he was a good guy. ... Something must have pushed his buttons, and I'm completely shocked that it ended this way."
Skoogman said the standoff began about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday when county deputies accompanied a man who was attempting to get his car back from the homeowner, identified by neighbors as Kowalzek.
While they were at the residence at 17717 Concord Drive NE., a gunshot was heard "coming from the direction of the home," Skoogman said. Deputies surrounded the house, and as the hours passed authorities tried multiple times to talk Kowalzek out.
He didn't surrender even after officers fired tear gas into the home. Finally, early Thursday, the SWAT team went in, led by K-9 Rocky. Capt. Dave Jenkins of the Sheriff's Office said he thought the dog "protected the officers by drawing [Kowalzek's] fire."
Skoogman said, "Shots were fired, fatally wounding the dog. One SWAT team officer returned fire, and they moved out of the house." Skoogman said the dog died inside the house.
After more attempts to contact Kowalzek went unanswered, they entered the house again to find him dead of a gunshot wound.
Jenkins said Rocky was one of the department's six K-9s and was trained as an "apprehension dog." He said the dog's death is especially hard on his law enforcement handler and the handler's family. But Jenkins also offered this perspective:
"The fortunate thing here is we're talking about an animal, and at the end of the day, these animals are trained to do what they do. They're an instrument; they're a tool, and what's important is that we're not talking about an officer going down."
The standoff resulted in the lockdown of the neighborhood of about two dozen houses on large parcels.
Some neighbors arrived home to find a blocked street and flashing lights. They were allowed to come and go from their homes only with law enforcement escorts.
Chester said Kowalzek fired guns on his property every day and was known for driving his tractor or Bobcat to the bar. He was hardworking, always had grease on his hands and never hesitated to help a friend, Chester said.
"I don't think he handled it right or the cops did," Chester said.
"Why didn't [police] call someone? There was 32 people I think that could have talked him out of this, but that's one side. The other side is that when they come looking for you, whether you're right or wrong, you come out."

Pingback from Jason Munn: The Small Stakes
great interview! We are huge fans of his work, so much wit along with the design. Lots of respect for his genius.
07.14.10 |
Does this book cover look like Towelie to anyone else?
07.14.10 |
Lovely looking book, cant wait to check it out
07.14.10 |
Awesome, I was sooo looking forward to this. and even more so since my question was answered….I'm glad I'm on the right track.
Jason Munn is great, very old school influenced, particularly the InSound poster reminds me of Paul Rand. Really good work though and I'm def gonna buy his book.
07.14.10 |
Fantastic insight! I'm a big fan of The Small Stakes as well. I will definitely look out for the book.
07.15.10 |
Very interesting read and lovely work. What I would most like to ask Jason, is how does he balance the needs of each client in terms of their needs for the posters to 'sell' the events. The information for the gigs is always so incidental and I just wondered how he persuades the clients that this is ok? I get asked to do a lot of music posters and the clients always want every bit of information to be as large as possible for visibility at distance, which inevitably overpowers any thoughtful use of an illustrative concept. Anyone else have experience along these lines?
07.15.10 |
Loved his work for years… gotta get that book!
Like Ross I'd like to know how the 'business' side of these awesome posters works? Also how does the money side of things work with prints- does the band pay for illy/design and get certain number prints/share profit of sales at gig/you allowed to sell x number independently?…any advice welcome.
Should probably have asked this earlier, when questions where being asked for!
07.15.10 |
And imagine:with just a two year degree from a midwestern (Madison WI) technical college education.
07.15.10 |
sweet book! always love to see jason on here.
07.15.10 |
I am a big fan of Jason's work. I plan on getting a copy of the Small Stakes Music Posters book very soon. Great interview.
07.15.10 |
Jason is my absolute favorite poster designer. I have made several posters based on his amazing style of work, but don't put them in my portfolio out of respect.
One of my prize possessions is the poster he did for the first Treasure Island show. The one I have was actually obsconded from the wall of the bands only tent. It's a great story for another time. Risked life and limb to get the only framed copy up at the show. Dicey.
07.15.10 |
Love the LCD poster, as well as seeing Jason's progression as an artist in this book. Go Munn!
07.15.10 |
great interview- looking forward to my copy. thanks Jason and Dave.
07.15.10 |
Great to get some more insight into Munn's work. Amazing and inspiring stuff. Thanks!
07.19.10 |
Wow! This is really inspiring… I do the exact same thing for school designing posters for bands. I didn't know you could do that for a living.
07.21.10 |
Love his work! Ordered my copy.
07.23.10 |
I love how he explains how it is " a collaboration between him and the bands." That is what I hope most companies and bands recognize that it is sort of like a team work thing.

The General Assembly did not meet this week, so I thought I would talk about why I believe so much in public education.
This past week, one of the world's most famous and influential men made a major announcement concerning our global future. But you might have missed it because America's national news media was obsessing over President Obama's State of the Union address.
Leftists and progressives believe that the U.S. should become more like Europe. They praise Europe's massive welfare state, socialized medicine and stifling economic regulation and accept its unwillingness to defend itself against barbarism. I wonder whether America's leftists and progressives want to import some of Europe's barbaric extremism associated with its Muslim population.

Yes, it is frustrating. The government should run smoothly and efficiently, going about its business and getting things done without much pomp and circumstance.
"A community needs news for the same reason that a man needs eyes," said British journalist Dame Rebecca West. "It has to see where it is going." On most days, however, I don't want to go where the news says we're going.
It's a well-known observation that whenever businessmen get together, sooner or later their conversation turns to how to best separate consumers from their money (which is why businesses, in reality, exist).
An alarming Gallup poll published earlier this year is still sending shockwaves throughout the business community: Most American workers either hate their jobs or don't care one way or the other about them.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines an enabler as "one who enables another to persist in self-destructive behavior." Enablers do so "by providing excuses or by making it possible to avoid the consequences of such behavior."
My name is Ralph Edward Brown. I'm currently an eighth-grade student at the Newton County Theme School. This summer, I had the opportunity to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference (JrNYLC) in Washington, D.C. I was one of 294 scholars from around the country identified as a future leader. This was an awesome experience for me. Thanks go to my seventh-grade teacher, Ms. Holly Kaas, for nominating me and serving as my mentor.
Why is it that natural gas sells in the United States for $3.94 per 1,000 cubic feet and in Europe and Japan for $11.60 and $17, respectively?
In Friday's paper, we ran a story about the "tyrant" geese of Covington; if you missed it, you can read it at covnews.com.
Animal activists in June praised the decision by the director of the National Institutes of Health to retire 300 of this country's 360 chimpanzees used for medical research to sanctuaries in the next few years.
We were more than pleased and proud to learn that one of Newton County's own, the late superintendent of schools and the founder of the 4-H movement George Claud Adams, is to be inducted Sept. 20 into the Georgia Agricultural Hall of Fame.
This past month has been eventful and unusual.
This is a story about heroes - good people doing good things. The cast of characters in this performance shares one thing in common: They are strangers to one another.
My sister is having some renovations done to her house and is momentarily out of bathrooms. So she has been staying with me intermittently.
I overheard something funny as I was munching on a sweet snack last month. I didn't catch much of the conversation, but I did hear, "I need hot fudge." I thought it was hilarious.

When Bad Friends Happen to Good Kids
Sooner or later, your little darling will probably buddy up with a problem child. Here, when to intervene and when not to
By Valerie Frankel
Special Offers
Should You Call the Friends Parents?
You witness or hear reliable gossip about one of your kids friends getting into serious trouble. If it was your kid and youd want to know, then you should call the parents, says Michele Borba, Ed.D., parenting expert and author of The Big Book of Parenting Solutions. Regarding substance abuse, bullying, talk of suicide, cutting, an eating disorder, or any other situation in which a child is in harms way, do what you must to protect her, says Borba. You might lose a friendship with the parent. Your child might lose a friend. But the moral obligation takes precedence.
Borba suggests sticking with specific examples and hard evidence. For example, dont say, Im no expert, but I think your daughter has some eating issues. Do say, When Brenda was over this afternoon, I heard her vomiting in the bathroom after eating some ice cream. I thought you should know. Dont offer any more than that; its now up to the parent to figure out her next steps.
Going back to the story of Maleficent and the snowballs, I always felt some shame and regret about having been too cowardly to call her mother about the incident. Should I find myself in a similar position again, I wont hesitate to reach out.
What eventually happened with that friendship was this: I began planting seeds. If Maleficent was critical, Id say to my daughter, I noticed that she was hard on you about some of your other friendships. Whats that about? I started making weekend family plans that ruled out sleepovers. When Maleficent came over, I hovered irritatingly nearby. Eventually, my daughter started to wriggle out of Maleficents grip.
Once she got a little distance, she gained perspective. You know, Mom, Maleficent is a real drama queen. Shes always starting fights, and then she complains that shes the victim, she said one afternoon. It was a glorious day for me and a breakthrough for my kid. It was also the beginning of the end of that sketchy friendship and one of my daughters giant steps toward maturity.
