Quito to Lima Adventure (SEQM)
Discover the best of Ecuador and Peru as you explore the Andes, Amazon and Pacific coast on this 15-day adventure from Lima to Quito. Explore pre-Inca ruins, walk the colonial streets, and get an introduction to the Amazon and its people with time in a jungle community. Tear it up on mountain bikes, raft wild rivers, catch big waves and get your adrenaline pumping on exciting optional excursions. You'll have plenty of free time to explore these remarkable countries on your own and create the ultimate adventure.
Highlights: Mingle with Amazon locals during a homestay, get active in Baños, explore towering volcanoes and colonial cities, chill out on the beach or surf in Mancora and Huanchaco.

Galapagos on a Shoestring (SEGS)

With fewer inclusions but plenty of options, you can choose which activities are right for you and experience one of the natural wonders of the world on a budget.
Highlights: Witness whitetip sharks at 'Shark Alley', travel by public speedboats around the Galapagos Islands, camp in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island with views towards the ocean, visit Charles Darwin Research Station and the Giant Tortoise Breeding Centre, hike Sierra Negra Volcano.

Buccaneers Tickets
While Raymond James Stadium is the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and also played host to Super Bowl XLIII, GoTickets.com is the home of the best Bucs tickets around. We have Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets for every game on the 2014 Bucs schedule, including playoff tickets and Super Bowl tickets, too!
2014 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Schedule
Thursday, 7:30 PM
Bucs Ticket Info
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were very inconsistent last season. At times they looked a playoff team and other times they looked like they didn't belong on the same field as their competitors. Head coach Greg Schiano didn't make too many friends in his first season but he seemed unphased by that. The Bucs are led by quarterback Josh Freeman who is still trying to prove that he has the talent to be an NFL starter. On the other hand, running back Doug Martin proved that he is a legitimate threat to break one for a score every time he's handed the ball. Combine a strong ground game with the always stingy Bucs defense and you've got a recipe for what appears to be a lot of wins this season. See if they're are ready to take home the NFC South division crown by ordering your Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets today!
If the Bucs are going to make it back to the playoffs this year, it will likely be because of their strong defense and great running attack. When you take a look at their schedule the NFL did the Bucs no favors. In addition to their difficult divisional games, Tampa also has road games in new England and Seattle. At home the Buccaneers will play the Eagles, Bills, and 49ers. Schiano will have to prove that he can tangle with the juggernauts of the NFL this season. The NFC South is perhaps the most interesting division in football, as each team has their strengths and some questions about this season. The division title is there for the taking, so make sure you are there with Tampa Bay Bucs football tickets to watch this team make a run at it.
After a great season in '10 when Freeman threw for 25 touchdowns and just six interceptions, he took a step backward in '11 with 16 TDs and 22 picks. He rebounded last year to throw for 27 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. It will be interesting to see if Freeman can continue that torrid pace this season. If so, the Buccaneers might be serious Super Bowl contenders. If you want to be there to see it, then now is the time to get your Tampa Bay Buccaneers football tickets.

According to data on the UK accountancy profession the number of qualified female accountants rose from 30 per cent in to 34 per cent between 2006 and 2011 while the percentage of females studying for their accountancy qualifications fluctuated between 48 per cent and 49 per cent. ACCA has a high percentage of both female students and members globally (44 per cent of members and 50 per cent of ACCA students are female).
Commenting on International Women's Day, Helen Brand, chief executive of ACCA, said: 'Accountancy is often perceived as a male dominated industry, but the number of women in the profession has been rising steadily in recent years.'
Brand continued, 'International Women's Day is a day for celebrating progress, but also recognising what still needs to be done. While these figures are certainly promising, as an industry we must work together to ensure that female talent is nurtured and supported. Despite encouraging numbers of women entering the profession, they are still under-represented in high level positions in the industry. The profession must work together collectively to find ways of helping women reach the more senior positions.'
In December 2012, a report, Women in finance; a springboard to corporate board positions?, commissioned by ACCA and the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council) from Cranfield School of Management revealed that a financial qualification or a background which demonstrates substantial financial acumen are seen as catalysts for women getting onto the boards of FTSE companies.
ACCA is committed to diversity in the profession and had the first woman member of any professional accountancy body – Ethel Ayres Purdie, who became a member of ACCA in 1909. ACCA says that with its current student profile, women are set to overtake their male counterparts with 50.7 per cent global membership.

So many artists underpricing...It makes me really sad.When an artist you want to commission finally open their commissions back and all of their slots are taken in less than a minute.And I'm sure all the slots would still be taken if the price was increased of x2-x10.So many artists are still underpricing themselves. People make it a standard for art to sell for so cheap and whenever someone charge more than this standard, which is probably still underpriced, people complain.By underpricing yourself, you are also contributing to keep the price standard of art low on this site. Charging low can be insulting to other artists, but also to yourself.Please, don't ever feel like you need to underprice yourself, because of the fear of what other might think or say. You art is worth more than that. There will always be someone complaining, you cannot please everyone. Your time, the efforts, the skills you gained over years of hard work, is worth far way more than a few cents/points.If you ever open your commissions an

We're familiar with puffs of white smoke proclaiming the election of a new pope. So here's my question: Does the city of Durango have some sort of similar combustion-based signal to communicate when the new City Council is chosen? Sign me, Cardinal Sin
Unlike the Sistine Chapel, City Hall lacks a fireplace – though rumor has it that the reinstated La Plata Electric Association franchise fee will provide the city with ample funds to install wood-burning stoves in each office. Presumably, this is being done to offset the soaring cost of LPEA electric heating.
Chimney issues notwithstanding, City Clerk Amy Phillips never would burn ballots as the cardinals do after each pontiff poll.
Amy has to hold on to Durango's ballots for a long time. "By law, we have to retain ballots for 26 months after the election," she said. "We won't be burning anything."
That doesn't mean the city couldn't consider a conflagration proclamation.
Why not ask the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to create white smoke on April 3, the day after municipal elections?
There's a problem with that – the train normally billows black smoke. However, it could adopt the Vatican's practice of adding chemicals to produce the appropriate-colored exhaust.
According to several reports, fire-tenders at the Sistine Chapel sprinkle potassium chlorate, lactose and pine resin on the burning ballots to ensure milky white smoke wafts over St. Peter's Square. (To create black, they use potassium perchlorate, anthracene and sulphur.)
However, white smoke wafting through downtown and along the Animas River Trail might be mistaken as originating from cigarettes. And because the city banned tobacco-burning in public places, this might cause consternation.
There's always the smoke-free option. The city could signal the election of a new council by draping white single-use plastic bags on the Florida Road roundabout bike sculptures.
That might not work, either, given local government's keen interest in banning petroleum-based shopping sacks.
They did it again. Two city workers went through my single-stream recycling container before the big truck arrived. Are they really going to do this all the time? What a waste, what inefficiency! As if a small mistake now and then will mess up the whole process! Recycling advocates are careful anyway. They want to do the right thing. – Roman
The city is inspecting recycling precisely because people aren't careful – despite the city's sorting motto, "Do the right things." More than a few of us include impudent impedimenta in curbside containers.
Durango's blue barrels brim with plastic films, Styrofoam and glass, all of which the city doesn't recycle under the new single-stream system.
Sadly, one "small mistake" does mess up the process.
"If the recycling truck picks up a blue container that contains glass or any of the other stuff we don't recycle, we have to throw the entire truckload contents away. It's contaminated and therefore useless," said a city worker who didn't want to be named.
"It's a big problem, but it can be solved with education over time."
The "precycling" inspection crews want to make sure inappropriate items are excluded.
Say you break a mirror and put it in your blue container. Not only would you have seven years of bad luck, but your recycling will be reprimanded.
"When we see stuff like glass in a container, we tag the container, note what was wrong and ask the owner to go through the recycling before we pick it up the next week," the city worker said.
Inspectors will preemptively poke around until recyclers follow the guidelines, which can be found at www.durangorecycles.com
So put your left hand on the blue container, then raise your right hand and repeat: "I ain't gonna taint."
That ought to work.
On second thought, maybe the inspectors could keep patrolling for a couple more months.
Email questions to email@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you mention to those guys down the street that the city no longer picks up recycling left out in the rectangular blue bins so they need to stop setting it out on trash day.

Whats up everyone?
I basically closed the book on USB cables after all my testing with the various cables I have had. But recently we got in the Audioquest Carbons which just simply called to me. I had to have one and give this book another chapter.
After listening to Cardos Clear USB and the Audioquest Forest , I came to the conclusion , this is as good as it gets and there is no room for Better. Once you achieve the goal of sonic perfection , there is nothing more one can do to improve sound quality as the cable is providing 100% of the signal and doing it's job to perfection.
Even knowing this and I have proved it to myself , I still had to give this another round , another try , another adventure as I think I may have a wire issue or obsession. Mybe I need help and need to lay on a couch and explain to someone what my issues are.
The Audioquest Carbon is the highest end cable to date I had in my system for USB. It's 5% silver conductors over Copper and whats unique is the ends are also Silver plated unlike the Cinnamon I skipped over in USB due to only 1.25% Silver plated copper and the ends are Gold plated copper. How much of a difference can that possibly make? Well lets talk about that.
With having 3 top notch USB cables , I was able to really get a firm grip on the mystery I call USB. With such precision and grace , all 3 cables seem to be sonically clear ( no Cardas Pun Intended). Does "Clear" fit the bill? I think so. Like my last listening test between the Cardas and the Forest , I really couldn't pick a "Clear" winner. Back and forth , with much time in between , I'm thinking sonic memory is playing a roll here as I tried my best to remember exactly what I heard before swapping them. What sucks is I can't do it fast like a true A B test. This I feel is the only flaw in my shootout here as I can't compare directly between the 2 cables other then remembering 30 seconds of a track that I know all so well. The Track I used here which I suggest all of you at least listen once is Jen Chapin " You haven't done nothing". This is amazing track that has the highest clarity and detail. Everything is spaced very well with accurate locations of each tone. I love this song as it's my new standard in testing. I still use all my older cuts , but this one I have taken to and have the ability to really judge a system , cable , speaker , room or what have you as I also use it in the field everyday. So to wrap up the shootout between the Cardas and Forest , no winner. They both play every single detail of the song and don't trip anywhere. This IMO holds a very high regard to Audioquest to be able to take a $35 dollar cable and compete with a over $100.00 cable. This to be speaks volumes. Doesn't take anything away from Cardas as it's beautifully built and uses very high end materials.
Now lets talk about my new cable. The Carbon. I want nothing else for it to just destroy all others and be the king of the hill with it's superior build quality , killer looking jacket , Silver content and be badass. With no Clear winner between the Cardas and Forest , I decided to focus on the Cardas as in price , it's much closer. No reason to compare a $35 dollar cable to cables well over $100 mark here. It proved itself as a unbelievable value and I can't see anyone even with the highest end system not enjoying this cable.
So back and forth I go trying to find the magic , trying to find that one note missing on the other 2 , digging deep into my soul and using every once of my being to prove once and for all the Carbon should be put on a Kings Throne of USB and stand alone from the Mountains. Back and forth again and I'm starting to get concerned. Can I hear anything?
After a good period of time I figured the cable needs more break in time , I can't tell the difference between the 2. Is my system high end enough to really judge this level of cables? I know for sure when you move up the ladder from what I own , there is much room of sonic perfection. Is the Forest quality the perfect match for my system and I need nothing higher end as I'm not finding the Sonic benefits of spending well over $100 more for the Carbon and not getting anything in return?
I'm not done yet , I'm gonna dig deep into my collection , there has to be a song I can hear something different. Maybe the Air pressure is all wrong , the weather has been strange lately as the temp shifts are over 20 deg day by day. Do I need to go get my hearing checked and make sure I'm not lost in translation? I have so many questions.
Pic's and round 2 coming up , Stay tuned .

|Naomi Peterson, 94
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Naomi Peterson, 94, died Monday Sept. 17, 2012 at Oakland Park Communities, Thief River Falls.
Funeral services will be held at at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20 at the Evangelical Covenant Church in Thief River Falls, with Rev. Bert Foster officiating. Casket bearers include Pete Mosbeck, Dale Anderson, Punky Peterson, Byron Rostan, James Kieckbusch and Jordan Haugen. Honorary casket bearers include Naomi's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Interment will follow at the Clara Cemetery, Hazel.
Visitation will be held from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 20 at the Evangelical Covenant Church in Thief River Falls.
Naomi Ida Charlotte Johnson was born on March 31, 1918 in Hazel, the daughter of Bror Theodore and Emma Louise (Brink) Johnson. She attended first through eighth grade at Hazel, ninth through 10th grade at St. Hilaire, 11th through 12th grade at North Star School in Warren; and then Naomi spent two years at Gustavous Adolphus in St. Peter. She then returned home to take care of her father following the death of her mother.
On Nov. 18, 1945, Naomi was united in marriage to Earl H. Peterson at Clara Lutheran Church, Hazel. They made their home on the Peterson family farm in Wyandotte Township of Pennington County and to this union, three children were born, David, Ruth and Stuart. They owned and operated a cattle and grain farm.
Naomi worked as bookkeeper for the Grygla Co-op Store for a short time; later worked as a bookkeeper at Peterson Biddick, and then as a welder at Arctic Cat in Thief River Falls.
She served as Wyandotte Township treasurer for 25 years and volunteered in the gift shop at Northwest Medical Center. Naomi was a homemaker, her passion was her family. She enjoyed reading her Bible, fishing, gardening, walked two miles every day; she mowed her 2½ acres well in to her 80s, loved the outdoors, and always considered Sunday a day of rest.
Naomi was a member of the Wyandotte Homemakers, taught Sunday school, was Sunday School Superintendent, and was a member of the Clara Lutheran Church and when it was closed became a member of the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls. Following the death of her husband Earl in 1979, Naomi enjoyed attending the Evangelical Covenant Church in Thief River Falls.
Survivors include three loving children, David A. Peterson, Ruth (Dennis) Pederson, and Stu (Margaret) Peterson, all of Thief River Falls; nine grandchildren, Heidi (Brian) Ames, Danielle Rabou, Summer (Bobby) Stringer, Steven Pederson, Shawna (Jim) Aman, Shelli (Shannon) Henrickson, Alicia (James) Kieckbusch, Ashley (fiancé, Jordan Haugen) Peterson and Tanner Peterson; nine great-grandchildren, Isabelle Ames, Brandon Stringer, Ethan Stringer, Calvin Pederson, Hally Aman, Colby Aman, Kenzi Aman, Tyler Kieckbusch, and Easton Kieckbusch; and several nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Earl; brother, Rev. Roderick Johnson and sister, Mary Jane Sawdey.

I have 85 Jimi Hendrix CDs, all legitimate Polydors, Warner Brothers and MCAs. I started collecting Hendrix CDs the day after Sept. 11th, 2001, the day of the now infamous terrorist attacks on the US. I decided to collect Hendrix CDs because I felt that our country was in jeopaardy and I wanted to preserve a unique part of our cultural heritage. I chose to collect Hendrix because I felt that his body of work uniquely represented my generation, and I wanted to collect his CDs to peserve that unique part of Americana. (I know how silly that sounds now.)
At first I bought every sngle current release of Hendrix's catalog that Experience Hendrix had Eddie Kramer remaster for MCA. This was very easy and cheap, there are only about 16 titles plus The Purple Box. After that I had read that the Joe Gastwirt remasters were superior sonically, so I bought the entire Mankowitz collection on the MCA label from 1993. After that I was fortunate enough to meet a girl that had over 650 Hendrix CDs, and all of them were legit Polydors etc. So she schooled me as to the various differences and variations of Hendrix on Polydor and Warner, and I started buying some old Polydors and Warners. I got over 120 Hendrix CDs before I decided to sell off a few.
Well I can safely say that my Hendrix collection has taught me a little about the sonic differences between the different releases of his catalog. Here is a short list of the best to worse releases of Hendrix material on CD.
1. Japanese Polydor P20P series. Any Hendrix CD on this series will sound phenomenal, with a great detail and clean un-distorted sound stage.
2. Japanese Polydor P33P series. This series of CDs is all most identical to the P20P series except it is not audiophile grade, it is consumer grade.
3. West German Polydor. Excellent sonics and clean detail, second only to a good Japanese Polydor.
4. US Warner Brothers. These generally used the same master tapes as the Polydors, but the manufacturing quality was not as high.
5. The 1993 MCA remasters. These are a little warm and less detailed than the older Warner Brothers, but these are quite good sounding. These feature odd cover artwork done by Mankowitz, and are thus commonly referred to as the Mankowitz remasters even though the engineer was Joe Gastwirt.
6. The new Experience Hendrix remasters. These are by far the worse sounding release of Hendrix material ever on CD. These CDs feature an all new remaster done by Eddie Kramer which is maximized and compressed, with too much digital processing of the trebel frequencies. I would avoid these at all cost if I had to listen to a Hendrix album.
So there you go. The opinions expressed in this evaluation are not just mine but are shared by the serious Hendrix collecting community, (which oddly enough is populated with many females that collect as if Hendrix was some kind of Guitar God).
Please feel free to post your thoughts about Hendrix or questions regarding Hendrix on CD.

Since we've discussed Florence + The Machine so much, I'd love to see them do All This and Heaven Too or Carry On by fun. (But then, these are two of my absolute favorite songs right now so I'm being a bit selfish)
Since we've discussed Florence + The Machine so much, I'd love to see them do All This and Heaven Too or Carry On by fun. (But then, these are two of my absolute favorite songs right now so I'm being a bit selfish)
"Volcano" by Damien Rice.
I think it would be really cool if there was a way for them to end the dance with her in his arms/lap...I was thinking back to one of Tanith and Ben's FDs.
I also think this song would be awesome. I think it addresses how private they are. It's obvious to anyone that they love each other and think highly of each other and are very close. It's the level at which they're comfortable putting their personal feelings and connection on the ice for show that I think they struggle with. They've always shown connection in interviews when they're just being themselves. I remember when Charlie said something nice about Meryl after they won Gold at Worlds and she just had that little suppressed smile. I just don't think they're naturally show-ey people. Even Charlie, he may be or have been more outgoing than Meryl, but that's only in comparison. I think they're both private people. Meryl may have even rubbed off on him. Either way it's not a crime and they are working on it.
Japanese fans are awesome. This is so neat
I love the changes in FD - it's still not my favourite but I was really enjoying it especially their confidence on the ice I missed at SA.
I always wanted Grease for their EX)
Or this song
I mean, they're working so had on their emotional connection, why can't they also have some fun?)))
Oh my, I can't believe I'll see them live in less than two weeks...
They performed that much better than at SA.
Watching their SD reaffirms my love for the polka section. The rest of the dance is good, but the polka selection at the end really ends that program with a bang. That was a brilliant choice.
I know this makes me a terrible fan, but I'll never ever stop wanting them to an exhibition to this: http://youtu.be/nwZEcdBMLLU

****CROSSING THE ICE - new book coming August 7, 2014!****
Thanks for the link. That is breath taking...and loved the commentary.
I think it is the best FD of the season.
DH - and that's just my opinion
The RAI sport commentators seems to really like Meryl and Charlie's FD from NHK. Can anyone translate some of what they say? I think all DW fans would be interested!
I'd love to hear what the Italian commentators were saying.
I'd like to hear what the Russian commentators were saying, too.
*Damn, this bell in the dance really mezmerizes me...*
Tha commentator on Спорт admired their technique which lets them make all the elements on a great speed and he thinks it was a wonderful performance.
I heard a funny story about Eurosport commentators. One of them is a big fan of V/M and really dislikes Meryl and Charlie. He said they're good technically but don't put their soul in their dance and don't tell a story there.
The second one, though, said that he would make a standing ovation with the audience.))
3 days with Alex Wong can make that much difference to a program???? WOW. All the dancers should hire him as soon as possible!
The bells were a stroke of genius for sureI seldom listen to them but I did that for you.
*Damn, this bell in the dance really mezmerizes me...*
Yes, I'm sure you're right. But that's about the most improvement I've ever seen in a program in that short a time. Remarkable!

|Louis Krueger Sr., 90
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Louis Krueger Sr., 90, died Thursday September 13, 2012 at Sanford Medical Center, Thief River Falls.
Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Thursday Sept. 20, 2012 at Johnson Funeral Service, Thief River Falls, with Pastor David Fish officiating.
Visitation will be 10 to 11 a.m., Thursday Sept. 20 at Johnson Funeral Service, Thief River Falls.
Louis Maynard Krueger was born on Aug. 28, 1922 in Kerkhoven, to Edward Frank Henry and Anna Elizabeth (Volentine) Krueger. The family were farmers and they moved to Roseau when Louis was a young boy at the age of 12. He attended country school at the School District 27E through the eighth grade.
At the age of 17, he bought his first piece of land in Falun Township, Roseau County. That is where he started his love of the land and farming. He married Helen Przekwas in 1944 in Hallock and to this union, three children were born: MaryAnn, Louie Maynard II, and JoAnn. He expanded the farm over the years but in 1958 he went to work in the paper mills in International Falls. He worked there for over 29 years, retiring in 1987 from Boise Cascade. During those years, he also helped with the farming on days off. After retiring, he moved to Thief River Falls and has lived there ever since.
He married Sally V. Durohom in August 2006. They continued to make their home in rural Thief River Falls. Louis loved the land and enjoyed watching from the time the crops were planted until their final harvest. He also enjoyed all types of hunting. He kept his yard up and always planted a large garden. He and his wife, Sally, spent many hours together tending the gardens. He was a member of the NRA and a former member of the Thief River Falls Eagles Aerie. He was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
He is survived by his wife Sally, Thief River Falls, the mother of his children Helen Krueger; three children: MaryAnn Ekeren, Roseau, Louis M. Krueger II, Hibbing, JoAnn Burkel, Roseau; grandchildren: Jeffrey Thrane, Front Royal, Va.; Gary Gross, Roseau, Louis M. Krueger III, Thief River Falls, Larry Gross, Roseau, Wayne Krueger, International Falls, Mike Krueger, Roseau, Victor Krueger, Georgia, Max Krueger, Thief River Falls, Fred Blinsmon, Grand Forks, N.D.; 13 great-grandchildren; one brother, Earle Krueger, Erskine, and several nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Ed and Anna Krueger; sister, Lucille Phillips; brother, Melvin Krueger; son-in-law, Michael Thrane; two sisters-in-law: Leola Krueger and Hazel Krueger; and one niece Janet.

Great looking pullover that runs quite small
I'm 6'2"" and 210 pounds. The XL is short in the sleeves for me (I'm normally a 35"" sleeve) and very close fitting through the body. I do not think I could layer underneath this except for a thin base layer. I would describe the fit of this more as an athletic cut. It fits me like I'd expect a Large to fit, not an XL. I'm almost tempted to return for an XXL, a size I've never worn in anything. That's how small this fits me. Disregarding the sizing issue, I love the look and feel of this pullover. Very nice. But do order larger than you normally would.
Material too thin & sheds horriblyl!
One of the worst purchases from Kuhl, next to the crazy, uneven-die-issue-after-wash, with their (Kuhl's) Ryder pants! The overall look of this Europa Berber Pullover, at first, seems exceptional, with beautiful styling and stitching. But wash and dry as directed, and it sheds berber/shearling fuss-bombs EVERYWHERE! The white-shearling is only in the collar-area, why?? Beyond me?? -You you would expect them (Kuhl), to continue the soft-shearling into the inside-shell cavity and sleeves but, n-o-o-o-o, it stops there in the collar-area!! It runs too small (yet Kuhls pants seem to run a bit larger), too thin of a berber in the body-area! What is up with Kuhl's quality and material lately??? Well for this pullover, if you like thin-axx fleece, go for this one but not me, it's going back to TA!
Kuhl is Cool
I don't know about how it looks after being cleaned but the other comments are right on. The color is not charcoal. It's a very nice darker brown with flakes of slightly lighter brown and pumpkin color. Do order one size larger than you normally would. I'm 6' 1"" 190 lbs. Based on the previous comments I ordered an XL instead of the L that I always wear. It fits great! It's comfortable and feels temperture neutral. Not too hot, not too cold. You will like it!
Got this for my brother inlaw last Christmas.He loves it ! I ordered a size up after reading reviews and it was perfect.He wants another .
Kuhle pullover
Nice looking but cut small. Order one size larger. They must base their sizing on very skinny people. I sent my large back to get an XL.

The Special Olympics in Seoul, South Korea will begin on January 29th and end about a week later. Michelle is on the Board of Directors and plans to be there. Tim Shriver, the big leader of the Special Olympics was at the wedding. Apolo Ohno is flying to Korea on Sunday night. (Perhaps Michelle and Clay will stay for one of Pres. Obama's swearing--ins--maybe not???)
This is a tight schedule, but Michelle and Clay can work it out. Just look at the way they so quickly and quietly planned their wedding and reception.

In a dark, airless studio control room on the third floor of a downtown-Manhattan office building, Lady Gaga is clutching a toy unicorn and talking about Rocky IV. She's eight hours away from finishing vocals for her third album, Born This Way, which is supposed to be out in less than a month. But even with deadlines looming ("soon" is all anyone will say, ominously, about the final cutoff), even in the computer monitors' dim light, even while she sips from a can of Coke Zero through a bendy straw, she is resplendent in her Gaganess: Her blond hair extensions are in dual ponytails, rising up like her unicorn's horn; her bangs are a contrasting black; her dramatic cat-eye makeup extends well past the edges of her lids. She's wearing tights with a small rip in the left thigh, a bra top, knee-high "stripper boots" and a hugely oversize denim jacket with the cross-and-heart cover art of her current single, "Judas," painted on it – a present from a fan. Until a moment ago, she was wearing a beret that made her resemble a particularly fashion-forward Guardian Angel.
"Whenever I get sad, I think of little monsters and go like this," Gaga coos, making the unicorn's tiny horn light up. "Fight on, little pony, fight on!" Her admirers call themselves little monsters; in the oft-heartbreaking letters they pass up to the stage, they call her Mother Monster. In three years of fame, Gaga has amassed 34 million Facebook friends and 1 billion YouTube clicks; hip teens in China express surprise by saying, "Oh, my Lady Gaga." She's reshaped pop in her image, telling kids it's cool to be gay or freaky or unpopular, that they're born that way: a message that's largely been absent from the charts since Nineties alt-rock's outcast chic. Gaga may, on occasion, draw heavily from the music and iconography of her heroes, but her influence on her own peers is even more obvious: Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera practically destroyed their careers trying to copy her; Rihanna and Katy Perry keep getting weirder (see Perry's "E.T." video); Ke$ha is allowed to be famous.
Not to mention the now-inescapable four-on-the-floor dance beats that Gaga reintroduced to pop radio – a sound she's now trying to reinvent. "Step away from the formula!" says Gaga, who's infused the new album with her passion for vintage rock. "If I could get those epic choruses on the dance floor, that for me is the triumph of the album."
The Ultimate Ranking of Lady Gaga's Catalog
But Gaga still feels like an underdog – so she's been watching the Rocky movies. Rocky is a lot like Gaga, minus the meat dress, giant egg and 10-and-counting hit singles: small, scrappy, Italian-American, always in competition with more flawless physical specimens. Last night, she saw the fourth film for the first time, crying when Rocky triumphed over the evil Soviet Ivan Drago. "My favorite part," Gaga says with rapt enthusiasm, "is when Apollo's ex-trainer says to Rocky, 'He is not a machine. He's a man. Cut him, and once he feels his own blood, he will fear you.'" (She actually invented at least half of this quote, but whatever.)
"I know it sounds crazy, but I was thinking about the machine of the music industry," she continues. "I started to think about how I have to make the music industry bleed to remind it that it's human, it's not a machine. I kept saying to myself today, 'No pain, no pain, I feel nothing.'" She punches the air. "Left hook, right hook. I've been through so much worse in my life before I became a pop singer that I can feel no pain in the journey of the fight to the top." She pauses, and quotes AC/DC: "'It's a long way to the top if you want to rock & roll.' It is! But at the end of the day, everything has a heart, everything has a soul – sometimes we forget that."
She squeezes her unicorn – Gagacorn, she's named it – and makes it light up again. "Only men would put the most phallic symbol on a mythical creature meant to rejuvenate the joy of every little girl," she says. Gaga turned 25 in March, but often seems much older or younger. When she's working, she's the most serious adult in the room, unquestionably the Monster in Chief. But in unguarded moments, she comes off as pleasantly stuck at around 19, the age she abandoned normal life, dropping out of NYU to become a superstar: "I just can't wait for my record to come out so that we can all get smashed and go pick it up," she says.
Even as she speaks, Gaga is working out vocal harmonies in her head for the song of the moment, a pulsing electro-rock Eighties thing called "Electric Chapel." Without fanfare or warm-up, she wheels her chair over to a microphone in the corner, pops on headphones and begins singing an endless series of variations on the chorus. "That's kind of Duran Duran, isn't it?" she says after one take. "Duran Duran is my major harmony inspiration – all signs point to Duran Duran." Then she tries another one at the sexy, Cher-like bottom register of her voice. "I like that one better, it's more Billy Idol."
A few minutes ago, she asked if the EQ on'a single line had been altered. It had, and they change it back. Consulting an extensive to-do list she's scrawled in a notebook, Gaga turns her attention to the placement of one of the song's many hooks, where she roars a bluesy "meet me, meet me" over pounding drums – should that part come in earlier? They tweak it, and she's pleased. "Now it feels more like Seventies rock. It's Janis Joplin all night."
"No, it's Lady Gaga," says one of her producers, Paul Blair, a.k.a. DJ White Shadow, a lanky dude from Chicago wearing a hoodie advertising the downtown bar Angels & Kings.
"I know," she says. "But I can't reference myself. Not yet."
She starts musing about meeting a bunch of Disney princesses during an Orlando tour stop. "I had a visceral fan reaction when I saw them, very similar to when I met Kiss for the first time," she says with a giggle. (Some of Born This Way's retro R&B-pop moments were inspired by, of all things, Kiss' 1977 cover of "Then She Kissed Me.") "A Disney princess has the same emotional quality for me as a rock legend. What's so magical about a band like Kiss or someone like Elton John is their otherworldly feeling. When I met Kiss, they could have all floated off the ground and it wouldn't have surprised me. In a Kiss concert, Paul Stanley flies across the arena, and it's oddly normal. It's just, like, 'But of course.' I want to do that. But I don't want it to be in a stage moment, I need to re-create it in an everyday situation. I need to be in the supermarket and fly across. That needs to happen! I'm a sucker for theatrics – what do you want from me?"
What her producers and engineer actually want is a break. They haven't slept in days, and that's after traveling the world for a year with Gaga to get this album done in the middle of a 200-plus-date arena tour. She's proud of being harder to work with than a typical pop singer. "I am a real artist, and I'm so involved," says Gaga. "Usually the artist comes in, cuts a vocal and leaves, and these guys do their business and send it back."
"We weren't used to having an artist be so in control," says her other producer, Fernando Garibay – small and unassuming, also in a hoodie. "It's not in our repertoire, in this generation of producers, to have an artist that comes in and knows exactly what she wants."
"I don't know if I can speak for everybody else," says Blair. "But there's no other artist in the world I would put this much effort into."
"Cough-Britney-cough," engineer Dave Russell, a stubbly British guy in a knit cap, says into his hand. Gaga gives him a gentle, un-Rocky-like punch. Fight on, little pony.
Lady Gaga has a fortress of solitude, of Gaga-tude, set up backstage at every stop of her Monster Ball Tour – a curtained, candlelit sanctuary. Two days earlier in a Nashville arena, she's curled up on a backstage couch in that room, beneath pictures of her heroes: Jimmy Page, Debbie Harry, the Sex Pistols, John Lennon and the Ramones, plus an Andy Warhol triptych of Elvis Presley, which serves double duty. There's also a smaller framed picture of Gaga with Elton John, who's become such a close friend that she's godmother to his son ("It's quite a job to fill," she says). Today, she's wearing the same $30 Penthouse boots and a leather motorcycle jacket over another tights-and-bra combo; she's sipping coffee from a mug decorated with cartoons from Disney's version of Alice in Wonderland, which she makes a point of showing off – she went down the rabbit hole long ago, and has no intention of coming out.
Why the rock-icon photos? "I just like to keep people around me that remind me of what I think is going to be, ultimately, part of my greater legacy," she says, "as opposed to committing myself to a trend or to an idea of what the public perceives my music or my artistry or personality to be. It reminds me to be myself." When Gaga enters interview mode, her syntax becomes self-consciously formal, and she sits up straighter – this is a new twist, a Mother Monster thing, that wasn't quite there when we spent time together two years ago.
