U. S. Magistrate Judge David Sanders has signed an order, giving Hinds County 15 days to correct crowding problems at the detention center or the county will no longer be allowed to house state inmates.
Longtime prisoners' rights attorney Ron Welch asked the court to sign the order, charging that pre-trial detainees are packed into small holding tanks like sardines.
Welch took pictures of the conditions inside the facility and submitted them to the Judge. Welch said they are all felons who have not made bond and are not convicted of anything.
"On Friday there were 15 or so inmates in a 200 square foot room. It's probably the worst overcrowding I've see in my career," said Welch.
Welch says getting rid of the state prisoners would free up 200 beds and ease the overcrowding in the holding cells, adding that it would also cost the county about a million-dollars a year in money the state pays to house its prisoners.
Hinds County Board of Supervisors attorney Pieter Teeuwissen issued the following statement in reaction to the court order:
The Board of Supervisors is concerned about the conditions at the adult holding facility more commonly known as the Hinds County Jail. By statute, the Sheriff is responsible for the day-to-day operations and management of the jail and penal farm. Legal counsel for the board is reviewing today's court order and will make appropriate recommendations to the Board of Supervisors.
The time limit for keeping detainees in these holding cells is 24 hours. He claims many of the 53 pre-trial detainees have been held there for days, weeks and 4 imprisoned in a tank for 2 months or more.
"The staff tells me they have housed up to 120 people in those 200 feet each holding cells," said Welch. "What is happening is they don't have a place or won't move them to a place to put them."
Welch says the holding tanks are so overcrowded, living space for each person is about 8 square feet. 50 feet is the standard.
Welch said many of the violations he is listing are described in the recent, Report of the Hinds Grand Jury filed September 17, 2013.

No one owns the movie beyond copies.....that's the only form of "property" in play. Beyond that, it's just the expression of an idea that someone holds (not "owns") the copyright on. That isn't property.

I don't care if there are 10,000 more terrorist attacks; our rights are not negotiable. Only a coward would sell out his principles for the sake of safety.
It definitely proves he has no valid concept of the Constitution. The rights enshrined in the Constitution are said to be recognized as inalienable...it's the American view that all people all over the world have those rights, not just Americans or people on American soil.

Oh, brother. I guess you run up to anyone who says X-Files, stomp your feet, and say "It's THE X-Files, you black-oil infested member of the Consortium!"
He's probably always been one. That sort of doucheness doesn't just happen overnight.
Says the guy who just said that belief in evolution "requires" a belief in abiogenesis? You're contradicting yourself.
You don't see European blogs writing "The US, where the silly imperial system is still standard." in every article, do you?
Yes. Yes you do. Brits in particular take pot-shots at the US over every little thing.
Furthermore, simply stating that freedom of the press is more codified in law in the US than the UK isn't just empty jingoism or xenophobic bashing, it's basically established as fact, and relevant to the article at hand.
And finally, yes, evolution absolutely requires abiogenesis in order for it to work, otherwise the entire theory is aimless.
In what way? Why exactly can't a person believe that the world was created by an intelligence, but not also believe that organisms evolve over time?
There's no such thing as "microevolution" and "macroevolution." Those are bullshit creationist terms.
The actual terms are "evolution" and "speciation," respectively. And, if you understand how taxonomy works, the former always eventually leads to the latter.
Personally, I find sanctimonious, politically-correct grandstanding to be about as annoying as bald-faced racism.
The American Indians don't need white people to tell them what's offensive to their race. If a clear majority aren't offended, what exactly is the problem?
Honestly, I'd like to see this myself. It sounds like solid frigging gold...

Welcome to the Tactical Media Files, a 'living archive' for Tactical Media's present, past and future. More than an archive, TMF is an active news and documentation tool for the evolving practices of tactical media.
Initiated in March 2011, Tahrir Documents is an ongoing effort to archive and translate activist papers from the 2011 Egyptian uprising and its aftermath. Materials are collected from demonstrations in Cairo's Tahrir Square and published in complete English translation alongside scans of the original documents. The project is not affiliated with any political organization, Egyptian or otherwise.
Felix Stalder's extended essay, Digital Solidarity, responds to the wave of new forms of networked organisation emerging from and colliding with the global economic crisis of 2008.

VakuumTV was founded in February 1994 on the initiative of Laszlo Kistamas and currently includes Dora Csernatony, Ferenc Grof, Laszlo Kistamas, and Attila Till. Its members presented weekly broadcasts on Monday nights at the most popular cultural club in Budapest, Tilos az A. Between February 1994 and September 1997 Vakuum TV broadcast 52 shows, and after 3 years of rest, started broadcasting again in 2000. Each show blended short films, interactive engagements between the audience and the announcer, and live performances but each used a very different content to create a parallel televisual reality.

many ways we mirror the efforts of community banks and credit unions in

Our ability to move into a collectively imagined future has been trapped in an ever-present now, composed of continually transmitted images. The spectacle accompanies us throughout our lives. News, propaganda, advertising, entertainment and social media present a continuous stream of imagery, projecting a constant justification for how our culture is formulated. When Guy Debord first published The Society of the Spectacle in 1967, the digital revolution was still decades away and the technological capacity to project images into every corner of our lives was far less developed than it is today. The spectacle is no longer simply all of the time; it is also everywhere. More than ever before, Debord's words apply: "Everything that was directly lived has receded into a representation."

The current techno-economic paradigm of Web 2.0 has challenged notions
of art and hacktivism within digital culture. The book "Networked
Disruption" takes up this challenge and discusses a new perspective on
political and social criticism. It simultaneously asks what are the
conditions for hacker and artistic practices under Web 2.0 and how can
social networking be seen to build on and incorporate artistic practices
from the earlier decades of digital and network culture.
Through its theoretical discussion of contemporary art and hacktivism,
the book maps out a new contradictory space for art and criticism:

"Tweets and the Streets analyses the culture of the new protest movements of the 21st century. From the Arab Spring to the "indignados" protests in Spain and the Occupy movement, Paolo Gerbaudo examines the relationship between the rise of social media and the emergence of new forms of protest. Gerbaudo argues that activists' use of Twitter and Facebook does not fit with the image of a "cyberspace" detached from physical reality. Instead, social media is used as part of a project of re-appropriation of public space, which involves the assembling of different groups around "occupied" places such as Cairo's Tahrir Square or New York's Zuccotti Park."

As much as images of violence, civil war, and sectarian strife become prominent in the media narrative of the Syrian uprising, little gems of innovative cultural production, artistic resistance, and creative disobedience continue to sprout across the virtual alleys of the Internet. These creative gems are also the germs of a viral peer-production process at work at a grassroots level in the new Syrian public sphere. Such acts of creativity - mash-ups, cartoons, slogans, jokes, songs, and web series - are probably too small and inconsistent in impact compared to the horrific magnificence that shelling, bombing, sniping, and killing scenes that provide daily fodder to global television viewers. It is also challenging to discover them; in fact, as remarked by Tunisian blogger Sami ben Gharbia at the Arab Bloggers meeting in Tunis (3-6 October 2011), Facebook is not the most suitable platform for activists to store, archive, tag, search for content, and give it a context.

Watching a popular uprising in real time was indeed a dramatic experience. As viewers tuned in (or streamed in) to the violence, courage, and uncertainty of events in North Africa this year, many of them had the impression of witnessing the "actual" events, free from the framing tactics and analytical bias often found on the six o'clock news. A host of new media celebrities became household names as they reported live from Tahrir, and news outlets such as Al-Jazeera saw an unprecedented rise in viewership. Spectators were made to believe that a return to the event "itself" was once again possible after decades of being locked into what Jean Baudrillard called the hyper-real. The revolution in-and-of-itself seemed to unfold before our eyes, creating a fetish for real-time revolt.

Protest Signs, Graffiti, and Street Art - a special issue of Shahadat
This issue takes as its focus the popular literature of the Egyptian
Revolution. Drawing on protest signs, graffiti, and street art in Tahrir
to read the culture of resistance particular to the Egyptian
Revolution, the curators examine how protesters changed the political
narrative through the use of images, memorials, and expressions of daily
life. Featuring examples from an extensive gallery of online images
culled from the collections of several prominent Egyptian journalists
and activists, the online piece is a visual tour of some of the creative
production of Egypt's Revolution. A collaborative curation project
split between New York City and Cairo, this is ArteEast's first critical
look at the cultural production related to recent political
developments in the Middle East.

Interview with Rami Nakhle, a Syrian activist in exile in Beirut, who uses social networks to disseminate news from protests on the streets in Syria across the country.
(April 26, 2011 - '14:54)
TMF editors: This video has achieved a somewhat iconic status for depicting the internet dimension of the protests in Syria. The rising death-toll of the protests in Syria shows, however, that these 'cyber-protests' are not without material consequences on the ground. Neither are the protests primarily media-based, of course. They are first of all staged in the streets. Deeply troubling questions emerge about the dilemma's media-activists face promoting the image of a popular uprising with dramatic consequences (even more so keeping the descent into civil war in Libya in mind). We have linked this video with an excellent and rather controversial interview with Syrian political blogger Camille Otrakji, published by the Qifa Nabki blog.

We have had this for a year. We did the entire first floor except the bathrooms. The floor is wearing beautifully with no signs of wear. I am not in love with it because of the striping effect that is done on the boards. Most of the boards have two un-natural looking black streaks off-set from one another. It is almost like a pattern which is what makes them un-natural looking. The boards that do not have this are stunning, but most do. I tried to pull as many as I could that did not have the striping for the entry way. The sample I saw at the store did not have this black striping effect. Had I known, this would not have been my choice. The installation went fairly well. This was my first experience with flooring. My only prior home improvement experience has been painting! My 14 year old son and I installed all the floors ourselves.
Best Uses
Used in office, spare bedroom over concrete floor. Very easy to install.
Best Uses
Replaced carpet in our living room with this bamboo flooring. Love the look and so far has been everything we hoped it would be. Gives the room a warm rich look.
Best Uses
I have installed many laminate floors in my house, none were as easy to install as the half inch stranded bamboo.
This would be a great floor to install if you have never installed a floor before.
I may never purchase laminate again as this bamboo is just as resistant to traffic/pets, is not ruined if you drop something on it (laminate can chip exposing the particle board), and can be sanded and refinished if you manage to do something that harmed the floor
Best Uses
We absolutely love the new look out house has taken with our new bamboo floor! We have a large breed dog and have not noticed any scratching. The floor seems very dutiable and is super easy to clean. It's absolutely stunning!!! We had our whole first floor ( about 800 sq feet) done with this. The flow is great! Can't wait to show it off to all of our family and friends!
Best Uses
This bamboo flooring is beautiful and was an easy install had a friend come over to help that never laid any flooring ever and I never came inside I just stayed on the saw cutting as needed.
Best Uses
Put in a bathroom
Best Uses
I put in 3 bedrooms. removed baseboard instead of using 1/4round molding for more professional look. Also used a quality underlayment over concreate slab. It does look good besides the fact that little imagination was used to try and make it look like real wood. I had 0 defective boards out of 40 boxes. Manufacturing quality is good. When researching this product I saw numerious complaints of off-gassing and smell. I did NOT notice this whatsoever. MY wife who is extreamly picky about such things had not complaint at all.
Best Uses
This flooring is amazing. I love it even more now that I have installed it in two connecting rooms. The varying color in the floor is just enough contrast that it makes it more beautiful. Do not hesitate to purchase this as you will not be disappointed!
Best Uses
Great for floating floor in high traffic areas. Rich finish and strong. All the installers got the info so they can install at their house.

I have plywood subfloor and then there is 1/4 lauan plywood on top of the subfloor. Do I need to remove the Lauan layer when I take up the old floor and install the new floor directly over the subfloor or can I leave the lauan layer and install over it?1 answer
Luaun is not a structural plywood and can be problematic under nail down flooring. However it can be fine under floating flooring like this. Be sure it if flat, level, and well secured.

Summary: |
On April 15th, 2002, we posted the following query
(http://linguistlist.org/issues/13/13-1056.html#1): > We are searching for examples of synchronic or diachronic chain > shifts (i.e., counterfeeding rule interactions, such that /A/->[B] while > /B/->[C]) in which segments are inserted or deleted. In the two months since, we have received one response. Michael Becker, of the Tel Aviv University Linguistics Department, offered one diachronic and one synchronic example from Arabic: > In Egyptian Arabic, and in other dialects of Arabic, > the glottal stops of Classical Arabic were deleted in > the coda, with compensatory lengthening word > internally: > > Classical Arabic > Egyption Arabic > > > fa?r > fa:r 'mouse' > bi?r > bi:r 'well' > > xubara:? > xubara 'experts' > wuzara:? > wuzara 'ministers' > > (more on word-final vowels below) > > Now, /q/ went to /?/ across the board in Egyptian > Arabic, so you have: > > faqr > fa?r 'poverty' > saqf > sa?f 'roof' > > da:q > da:? 'he tasted' > fura:q > fura:? 'separation' > > So you get fa?r > fa:r and farq > fa?r. > Another possible case: > > Synchronically, in Egyptian arabic, word-final vowels > are always short. However, word-final /h/s delete and > leave a word-final long vowel behind: > > ?e: 'what?' > le: 'why?' > gato: 'cake' (from French), plural gato:ha:t > > The underlying /h/ of '?e:' shows up in the phrasal > level: > ?e:h ilkala:m da 'what is this?' > > In a rule based model, you will have: > 1. V --> [-long] / _# > 2. h --> 0 / _# I.e., V:h# -> V:# -> V#. There is at least one segmental deletion, that of the /h/, and a second if the V: is analyzed as VV. We are interested in epenthesis and deletion in synchronic chain shifts because we have theoretical reasons to believe that chain shifts involving both epenthesis and deletion -- AxB -> AB -> AzB -- are not possible. We have examined 35 (purported) chain-shift cases without finding one. However, we also expect chain shifts with only deletion (AxyB->AyB->AB) or only epenthesis (AB->AyB->AyzB) to be possible. So far we have found 3 clear examples of the former (in Catalan, Chemehuevi, and Hidatsa), but none of the latter. Most chain shifts apparently do not involve epenthesis or deletion at all. For a fuller discussion (including the 35 chain shifts), please see our paper Moreton, E., and P. Smolensky (2002). Typological consequences of local constraint conjunction. To appear in: L. Mikkelsen and C. Potts (eds.), _Proceedings of the West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics (WCCFL) 21_. Cambridge, MA:: Cascadilla Press.

Painters will set up their easels and pull out their brushes to document the landscape and culture of authentic "Old Florida" – the coastal stretch of scenic North Florida between Mexico Beach and Alligator Point. "Plein Air", a French word, simply translated means "open air". The roots of plein air painting are found in 19th-century Europe. An Englishman, John Constable, believed that artists should forget "formulas" and trust their own vision in finding truth in nature.
The event included 5 exhibits across the coast, daily artist demonstrations, 2 workshops, art sales and a series of public receptions. Art enthusiasts visited the exhibits and attend the many free special events that occur throughout the 10 day event.
The 22nd Annual Historic Apalachicola Home & Garden Tour takes place the first Saturday in May. The tour is expected to attract hundreds of visitors to Apalachicola, FL on Friday and Saturday, May 2 – May 3, 2014. This year's theme, "And the Livin' Is Easy" is as apropos to the grand Gothic Revival home and the beautiful Queen Anne abode as it is to the precious bungalow and all sizes and sorts in between. All of the homes featured on this year's tour are vintage homes with interesting histories, contemporary touches and homeowners who take pride in their houses and have found a perfect fit for their unique style in this community.
The featured house for the 2014 tour is the home of Briana Wheatly. It was built for George H. Whiteside in the Gothic Revival Style, circa 1872. The Whiteside family owned and operated the Apalachicola Ice and Canning Company in Apalachicola. Their affluence was reflected in some of the home's distinctive features: two closets per bedroom, heart pine flooring, beautiful crown molding, push bell for summoning servants, a built-in dining room sideboard, and fireplace between the two parlors.
Friday, May 2: Evensong 5:30 Evensong service at Trinity Episcopal Church will be held on Friday, May 2 at 5:30 p.m. This service provides the traditional opening for the home tour. It will be followed by a reception to which all are invited.

Guests to Apalachicola can enhance their weekend experience by allowing time to visit the many historical buildings and churches, museums, inns and parks that mark this historic town as a truly original locale. We conjecture that you will find, as we who live here do, that the "livin' is easy" in Apalachicola. We welcome you to join us for the weekend and come back again and again.

Swindon Borough Council, in their wisdom, have made 'amendments' to the bike lane in King William Street, Old Town. Prior to the changes, the bike lane was one of the better ones in Swindon, as it was an example of 'filtered permeability' - this is where the favoured form of transport (in this case bikes) is allowed to travel where the discouraged form of transport (cars) cannot. On King William Street, bikes can go in both directions while cars can only travel one way. Or at least they could before the street was vandalised by the Borough.
Here's a video showing how a cyclist is now forced to negotiate the bike lane:
Here are some still pictures that show just how absurd it is.
In this picture, the victim, sorry, the cyclist has just negotiated his way around two cars that are parked in the new parking spaces which have been placed squarely in the bike lane. If a third car had been parked in the remaining space, the rider would not have been able to get in to the bike lane without riding over the kerb.
He negotiates the blind corner, safely in the bike lane that is protected from the one way traffic by a kerb...
...and cycles straight in to a parked car. There is no exit from the bike lane without going over the kerb or on to the pavement (or over the car).
In this picture you can see what happens if the cyclist veers out around the cars that are parked in the bike lane and meets a car driving in the opposite direction, around the blind bend.
Fortunately on this occasion there was no collision and the cyclist didn't need to instruct his lawyers to contact the Borough.

Dean's Lecture Opens Academic Year at St. John's
FOR RELEASE: August 5, 2009
CONTACT: Patricia Dempsey, 410-626-2539
Michael Dink, dean of St. John's College, will open the college's academic year by delivering the first lecture in the college's Friday-night series. The college's dean traditionally delivers the first Friday-night lecture at the beginning of the academic year. Mr. Dink's lecture, "Molière's 'Le Misanthrope,'" will be held in the Francis Scott Key Auditorium on Friday, August 28, at 8:15 p.m. The lecture is free and open to the public.
"In Molière's comedy, "Le Misanthrope," the title character is angry at his peers in society for their practice of an insincerity that makes it impossible for praise and blame to be assigned in proportion to virtue and vice," says Mr. Dink. "In addition, the title character is angry at the woman he is courting, because she refuses to confirm her private indication of her preference for him with a public declaration." In his lecture Mr. Dink will seek to clarify the relationship between these two angers, in addition to asking how the play functions as a comedy.
Mr. Dink is entering his final year of a five-year term as dean. He has been a member of the St. John's faculty for 30 years. He holds a bachelor's from St. John's and master's and doctoral degrees in philosophy from the Catholic University of America.

Making a joke to "raise awareness" about a tragedy that's killed over a 100,000 people? Beyond stupid . . . even for a no-talent with a cottage cheese ass, a sex tape and a BFF named Paris Hilton. But then I'd like to think that even Paris wouldn't stupid enough to pull off a stunt like this:

Seattle Still Second in CR1 |
Clubs - Women's Clubs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sixteen Seattle Breakers made the trip to Arizona for yesterday's match, but it was enough. The DI women's club improved to 3-1 after a 44-0 victory over Tempe, and retains second place in CR1 behind ORSU. "It was a really hard game and we were lucky that the heat didn't get to us," Seattle coach Marty Quick said. "The scoreline does not reflect how the game was. They were really physical around the breakdown, and there was some good poaching and rucking." Seattle was able to find successful through middle and sent center Megan Sanders crashing through the defense for some long, tackle-breaking runs. Tempe flyhalf Toni Fujiwara tried to keep the offense honest with her boot, but the back three did well to cover the field and support one another on the returns. Seattle's defense stepped it up and was led up front by lock Keisha Carlson, who was also point for the Breakers' solid lineouts. The entire back row was on fire, continually pressured the halfbacks, and disrupted Tempe's fluidity on offense. While the victory was a replete win for the team, Quick acknowledged that the tackling broke down as the game wore on. Players were going in high as fatigue set in, and that's as aspect of the game that Quick will be reiterating through training this week. Seattle has two more league games against Belmont Shore and Nor Cal, and while the Breakers are favored in these matches, they're certainly not looking past them. "Belmont Shore has traditionally been an even matchup for us, but we'll have an advantage playing at home," Quick said. "It'll be a pretty hard game. Nor Cal is like Jekyll and Hyde. When they show up, they're a great team." CR1 has three seeds to the Round of 8, so if all goes as planned, Seattle should be booking tickets to Texas. The Breakers finished fourth in the nation last year, but the road to the final four will be more difficult this year. "Last year we had an old team, but we've had some turnover, and now we're a young team," Quick said. "We're feeling good, practices are going well, and we getting good numbers. As long as we have those numbers traveling to Austin, we should do alright." Quick is convinced that she has a final-four team, but acknowledges that the team doesn't have the luxury of having everyone available.

DIY Designer Easter Eggs
One of my favorite bloggers, Melissa, from The Inspired Room posted today about the above Easter Eggs which she found on Southern Living's website. They are so easy to do and look so professional that I can't wait to try them this week. Check out Melissa's terrific blog and stop over at Southern Living to learn how to do these eggs.
These terrific eggs brought to mind an egg dying technique that I've used for years using onion skins and boiling water. I originally found out how to do this from a Martha Stewart Living magazine back in the early 90's. I love the way the eggs look like old marble. And if you use red onions the eggs turn out a bit purplish. So cool.
Onion Skin Dyed Easter Eggs Instructions:
Peel a couple of onions - use either yellow or red onions
In a medium saucepan, put the onion skins and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil.
Put eggs in saucepan and simmer on low for about 1/2 hour or until you get the depth of colour you desire.
I love placing these in a natural basket, just like in the photo above. It gives your Easter table a subtle sophistication that works well in an earth-toned dining room. I can see the table dressed with a burlap tablecloth with white ironstone plates and a centerpiece with a natural willow basket, some pussy willows and pale yellow or cream crocuses with the eggs peaking through. Hmmmm, think I know what I'm doing for my table.

During Madison's lunch with the team, they discussed how as young girls they were encouraged to participate in sports and brainstormed ideas about how to increase the population of young female athletes, in addition to retaining them at the high school and college levels. On the academic side, they talked about how women in sports face similar difficulties as women in engineering.
Earlier in the day at the MLK Jr. Breakfast, Madison addressed this year's theme, "Illuminating the Elements of Meritocracy." She stressed the importance of support and encouragement from peers and mentors, saying she had made a gift to her alma mater, Vassar College, to set up such a program. That gift, she said, was designed "to improve the life of all black staff, faculty and students there. … What I wanted to do was insert something that would make a change."
In its pursuit of meritocracy, Madison urged the MIT community, "Don't stop talking about it." But talking alone is never enough, she added. The next step is, "Now, what are you going to do about it? Everybody may not feel as included as they'd like to be."
To make meritocracy a reality, she suggested, "It's probably time to take a multilayered approach" — including asking members of underrepresented groups, "What is the happiness quotient here?"
The women's basketball team closes out the regular season on Saturday, Feb. 16 at Clark University. Should the Engineers come away with a victory, they will clinch a spot in the upcoming New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference championship tournament to be held next week.

Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger was born on March 24, 1951, in New York. Hilfiger has built his brand, using his signature red, white and blue tag, which has become popular among the upper class and the casual buyer. Before making his immensely popular product, he opened several stores in the '70s. It wasn't until 1984, when he was approached to design a men's sportswear line with his name that he took off into the stratosphere of fame and fashion.
Early Life
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger was born on March 24, 1951, in Elmira, New York, the second of nine children in a working class Irish-American family. His mother, Virginia, worked as a nurse, while dad Richard made watches at a local jewelry store. Tommy Hilfiger attended Elmira Free Academy in high school, where he was neither a star athlete (he was so small, he had to sneak 15-pound weights in his pockets to get on the football team) or student (he suffered from undiagnosed dyslexia).
First Entrepreneurial Venture
Hilfiger's entrepreneurial gifts, however, were evident from a young age. As a teenager, he began buying jeans in New York City that he remade and sold for a markup in Elmira. When he was 18, he opened a store called The People's Place in Elmira that sold hippie supplies like bell-bottoms, incense and records. Wildly successful at first-Hilfiger soon had a chain of stores and a six-figure income-a downturn in the economy hit his business hard, and he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1977.
In 1976, Hilfiger fell in love with Susie Carona, an employee at one of his stores. The couple married and moved to Manhattan shortly after the bankruptcy. They were hired as a husband-and-wife design team by the apparel brand Jordache, but were fired after only a year. Hilfiger developed a reputation as a hard-working young designer, and was considered for jobs at Perry Ellis and Calvin Klein. What he really wanted, however, was his own label.
Commercial Success
In 1984, Hilfiger was approached by Indian entrepreneur Mohan Murjani, who was looking for a designer to head a men's sportswear line. Murjani allowed Hilfiger to design the label under his own name, sealing the deal. The pair announced Hilfiger's arrival onto the scene with a blitz marketing campaign that included a bold billboard in New York City's Times Square announcing Hilfiger as the next big thing in American fashion. "I think I am the next great American designer," Hilfiger told a reporter in 1986. "The next Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein."
Their tactics rankled the fashion establishment, which looked down on Hilfiger's naked self-promotion-Calvin Klein even got into a shouting match with the billboard's creator at a New York City restaurant. Though Hilfiger was embarrassed by the fallout, the bold tactics worked. Hilfiger's line of preppy clothes with his trademark red, white and blue logo soon became wildly popular. By the early 1990s, the hip-hop world embraced oversized versions of Hilfiger's clothes, and the brand assiduously courted rap stars and celebrities.

It's true that Lexie Grey has an unfair competitive advantage: unlike her half-sister Meredith, Lexie has a flawless photographic memory, which has earned her the nickname "Lexipedia." It was a boon at Harvard, and it continues to be an advantage at Seattle Grace, where she's a surgical intern. Just like Meredith doesn't have Lexie's database of a brain, Lexie doesn't share her sis's dark and twisty temperament. Although, Lexie manages to maintain an eerily sunny disposition, her life is more gray than gay: her relationship with her and Meredith's alcoholic father, Thatcher Grey, remains strained, and her love life has been equally unforgiving. After entering a friends-with-benefits relationship with Alex Karev, Lexie enjoyed a chaotic stop and start romance with Mark Sloan. However, when it finally looked like Mark and Lexie were getting their relationship together, Mark's unexpected pregnancy with Callie sent Lexie running — right into Jackson Avery's arms.

ExOfficio Quick-Dry Travel Tank
great multipurpose tank
I ordered these hoping that ExOfficio had decided to use more material in the larger sizes instead of making them skin tight. I was delighted that they had. I expect to get a lot of use out of these as a sleep tank on travels and as a layering shirt in the colder months. I was so delighted I ordered another one while they were on sale. I love all of their underwear and use it daily and not just on travels.
January 8, 2014
Works well
I bought two size small tanks in different colors. One fits snug, the other is longer and more loose. They wash and wear well.
February 19, 2014
great layering piece
I bought this for a layering piece or as sleepwear when travelling. I love it. It is not skintight like I was thinking it was going to be, so that is even better. I only wish that they had the new colors when I ordered mine.
January 21, 2014
Great product
I have several of these for travel and every day use. When on the road, I wash them in the sink, roll them in a towel to get much of the water out, and hang to dry which they do overnight. In addition, the colors suit my wardrobe very well.
January 20, 2014
Way too tight
I did read the review about this tank where it is recommended to go up one size. I normally wear a medium so I ordered a large. When it came I washed it first, then tried it on. It fits, but barely. I should have ordered an extra large or extra extra large. It is very tight plus the waffle like weave is not that pretty. I will not order another one of these and think the manufacturer should not be so tight with their material.
June 14, 2010
Very nice.
Comfortable. Dries quickly. Love the colors, especially the purple.
December 23, 2013
Very small
When they say "fits snug" they mean it! I have washed it once, hung to dry - it will not fit a second time..
September 24, 2010
Love this tank!
Bought this tank by accident (thought I was buying the pointelle tank), but when it arrived, I tried it on and decided to give it a try. It's my new favorite! Yes, the fit is snug, but it's perfect for wearing under things. In some environments (hiking, but not work), I'd feel comfortable wearing the tank alone, without something over it. (Bra definitely required.)
Now I understand why men wear undershirts! I'll be ordering more of these! It's comfortable and cute.

Quote:is that all the counterweights? that thing must be really light compared to the metal one.i could never get round stars with my AT10RC and G11, even with an OAG, so it will be interesting to see what you get with your hypertuned G11.
Quote:VERY NICE! Hope clear night soon!
Enjoy the sky,
