Comments about Blinds Steve's Exclusive Collection Woven Wood Shades Reeds Designer:
Woven Wood shades give a natural look as they are produced with all natural materials. Each shade is unique, as the material is not replicated. They are more fragile than other types of window coverings, and privacy depends on how tightly the materials are woven together. Adding a liner helps to ensure the best privacy and light control.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice color and texture, but see-through

About Me Midrange Shopper
I bought these for a small study. I didn't want to spend big bucks on the same level of makeover as I had previously spent on custom living/dining room drapes, but the old [...]curtains had to go. I wasn't expecting much to be honest, given the price. The blinds are actually a lovely color and texture, and the build quality is very good value, considering. My only suggestion: they let in more light than the sample tends to suggest. If privacy or blocking light is a concern at all, get the backing liner.
Excellent quality
By Mrsbarrylou
from Louisville, KY
Have this blind on my "over the sink" window in the kitchen, and on the kitchen door leading to the backyard. I always get compliments on the look and design and how they complete the room. They are of very sturdy construction and were easy to install. They fit perfectly in the spaces they were ordered for (custom-fit is spot-on!) [...]
Great Product! Great Price! Love it!
By NW Mom
from Bellevue, WA
Love this blind! The price was great and it is a great decorating accent to our kitchen. It was easy to install and I am happily surprised at how much light it filters. I have received lots of positive comments from friends already asking where I purchased them. My only complaint is that I wished they offered liners with some color options.

About Me Budget Shopper
This product is not difficult to use. It does snag occasionally on itself when you pull the cord, which is what I mean by fragile. As long as you don't rush and yank the cord you should be fine.They look very nice and for the price you won't find anything better.I would recommend this if you just need some esthetics to warm the room up. They don't completely block light out and they do not keep heat in.Good luck!

Low-income wage earners get free tax prep
by mrickard, Tue Apr 10, 2007 at 02:29:50 PM EDT
Time is running out for low and moderate-income workers to get free assistance in preparing their income tax returns at VITA centers.
ACORN has partnered with the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program to operate 105 centers nationwide.
The free service helps taxpayers who cannot afford to have their returns prepared by professional tax accountants. ACORN members also go door-to-door, letting neighbors know about the service.
ACORN wants eligible families to claim their Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which can amount to $4,400 each tax year. EITC is a federal anti-poverty program to help working families.
Between 15 and 25 percent of all EITC-eligible families do not claim their credits, amounting to $12 billion in unclaimed benefits annually.
Last year, ACORN helped its tax center clients claim more than $17 million in EITC tax credits, as well as $36 million in total refunds.
April 16 is around the corner.

How do you top two ladies wrestling in oil? How about 4! For half of this match, all four ladies are in the ring at the same time. Lady Victoria and Kristal take on Cherokee and Domino. Nice close up pictures of the ladies squirting oil on each other. Kristal literally putting her butt and crotch in your face. It starts off one on one. Good verbal taunting. The language is very unladylike. So are the positions! Spread shots, face sitting, butt slapping, boob grabbing and crotch to crotch action make this bout a delight! When all 4 are in the ring, imagine 8 legs kicking, four oily wet mops for hair and some oversized breasts sliding back and forth. This is a must see!

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
Much progress has been made in representing African-American life onscreen, but there's a long way to go.
An updated list of the theatrical venues and VOD platforms currently screening "Life Itself."
Two babies are born at about the same time in an Israeli hospital. One is Israeli. The other is Palestinian. They're evacuated during a missile attack, accidentally switched and raised by each other's families for the next 18 years.
That's the plot line. When the mistake is discovered, how do the families react? What disturbs them more: that their son has been raised as an enemy or that he has been raised in another religion? That's where "The Other Son" gets complicated.
The two fathers and the Palestinian's brother are primarily concerned that their birth son has been raised by the "other side." The mothers are more concerned about the return of the son they gave birth to. The way this difference plays out is all the more fascinating because the families on both sides are decent people.
Joseph (Jules Sitruk), the Palestinian by birth, has been raised by Orith and Alon Silberg (Emmanuelle Devos and Pascal Elbe). After he enlists in the Israeli Air Force, he takes a blood test that reveals the startling news that he cannot be the son of his parents. The way this information is carefully disclosed by a hospital spokesman speaks volumes: This is a rare nation in which your DNA determines your eligibility to serve in the military, and it's clear the hospital has a lot of explaining to do.
Yacine (Medhi Dehbi), the Israeli by birth, has been raised on the West Bank by Leila and Said Al Bezaaz (Areen Omari and Khalifa Natour). His family is far from wealthy, but he had the good fortune to be educated in Paris.
The film's co-writer and director, Lorraine Levy, is French, which helps explain this detail and several others: that Orith Silberg was born in France, and she and all the other characters, except for Said and Yacine's brother Bilal (Mahmood Shalabi), speak French. In a sense that helps bridge the gap.
A key to Joseph's character is that, although his father is in the Israeli military, and he himself intends to enlist, his actual dream is to become a singer-songwriter. It's also important that Yacine, after some years in France, sees his plans for the future are in Europe. Neither boy is obsessed by his racial and religious identity.
This is definitively not the case with Bilal, and one of the shocking early moments occurs when he turns on his brother of 18 years and rejects him as an enemy. This emotional jolt may have as much to do with long-smoldering jealousy about Yacine's Paris years than with his new identity; you see how tangled such things can become.
Orith invites Yacine to pay a visit. Then one day Joseph crosses to the West Bank and pays a call to Yacine. (The ease with which he can pass the Israeli border guards is ironic, since he is a born Palestinian.) Yacine's family is caught off-guard; Yacine not as much. They do what any Arab or Israeli family would do, which is to offer their visitor food and drink, and the resulting meal is a study in social awkwardness and buried emotions, particularly on the part of the father and brother. In a moment of inspiration, Joseph begins to sing a song, and it's a wonder how that melts through the frigid atmosphere.
The new reality starts to sink in. It probably helps that the two young men are now well-launched along their adult paths; I wonder how this story would play out if they were both still quite young.
What difference did the switch make, really? In superficial ways, the two boys aren't so different: they both "look" Jewish or Arab, take your choice. How do they now feel about themselves? Joseph quizzes his rabbi: "Am I still Jewish?" The rabbi tells him he was one of his best students, but his mother was not Jewish, and so, no, he isn't, but he can convert. What about Yacine? Is he now Jewish? Technically, yes.
In an altered situation, it is easy to imagine Joseph and Yacine fighting and even killing each other, each one mistaken by the other for the enemy. The significance of this parable is there to be seen.
White privilege, lived.

COLLEGEVILLE Ś The Ursinus women were expected to have an easy time against visiting Bryn Mawr in Thursday nightÆs Centennial Conference contest at Helfferich Hall.
But the young Bears ¢ with three freshmen in the starting lineup ¢ still had to do the job out on the court, which they did convincingly right from the opening tip.
Ursinus ran its offense to perfection in the first four minutes, shooting 7-for-7 from the floor while bursting out to an 11-point lead. Then the hosts decided the outcome early by ripping off 29 straight points at the end of the first half on the way to 67-34 win.
Freshmen Jessica Porada and Caroline Shimrock led the Bears (2-0, 4-1) with 16 and 15 points respectively, with each heading to the bench for the rest of the night early in the second quarter. Hope McMahan scored 10 for the Owls (0-3, 1-4).
ōItÆs just a matter ¢ every time you step on the floor ¢ you have to step on not just physically, but also mentally,ö said Bear coach Jim Buckley. ōTheyÆve been terrific all year.ö
Shimrock knocked down a 3-pointer from the left wing off a pass from Diamond Lewis (6 points, 5 assists) on the first possession of the game and McMahan countered with a baseline jumper. But Porada came right back with a basket inside off an assist from Shimrock and the hosts maintained the lead the rest of the way. Shimrock scored nine points in the early going as she added a couple of jumpers and scored on a drive to the basket to give her team a 15-4 lead just 3:53 into the game.
The Owls came back to cut the margin to 15-10 and 17-12. But Porada scored on a fast break and Tori Steinberg (8 points) drilled a 3-pointer to get Ursinus going again and start the Bears on their string of 29 straight points over the last 13:37 of the half for a 46-12 lead at the intermission.
After that, the Bear starters rested up for the teamÆs third game of the week ¢ Saturday afternoon at Johns Hopkins.
ōYou try to maintain your focus in the second half,ö said Buckley. ōWe have so many young players. ItÆs a chance for them to do some things right and stay sharp. That run at the end of the first half sealed things. WeÆve got to play Saturday again. I give Bryn Mawr a lot of credit. TheyÆll battle you for 40 minutes.ö
The Bears have gotten off to a strong start, including winning the championship of the Susquehanna Tip-Off Tournament, despite having just one senior on the roster.
ōTheyÆre good players, and they work well with one another for a group of players that hasnÆt been together long,ö Buckley said concerning his squadÆs early success. ōThey understand the game. They work well together and they enjoy each other.ö
Ursinus will also play three conference games next week, and that stretch might go a long way toward showing what the Bears might be capable of doing this season and in the future.
ōWe only lose one (senior),ö Buckley added. ōYouÆve got short-term goals and youÆve got long-term goals. WeÆll see what happens. WeÆll see as we really get into the heart of the schedule.ö
Freshmen Alyssa Polimeni added eight points and six steals for the winners and freshman Elana Roadcloud scored eight for the Bears and grabbed a team-high 11 rebounds. ģ Ursinus did not commit its first turnover until 9:53 remained in the first half and wound up with nine, compared to 26 by the visitors. ģ Bryn Mawr did not shoot a free throw the entire night while the Bears shot 6-for-8 from the line.

I found the discussion of evil to be dull. There wasn't anything really insightful in it; in fact, I'd say it oversimplifies the nature of evil. I would have done a more loving treatment of it, not necessarily longer but better, dwelling less on the obvious statements that don't shed any new light on evil.
The "vile encounters" chapter should have been totally awesome. Instead, it spends a couple pages trying to make a distinct category of "vile encounters" that, fundamentally, doesn't have anything to set them apart from any other encounter. "Orcs raiding a village to round up prisoners to sacrifice in a ritual to call up an aspect of Gruumsh" is not really any different from "orcs raiding a village to round up prisoners to enslave". What makes the encounter vile?
Basically, there isn't anything in the description of a vile encounter that reads to me like anything other than an attempt to justify the existence of a chapter on the subject!
Some of the "vile traps" aren't all that vile, either. "Oh noes! A trap that turns me into a mouse! How vile!" Uh, no. "Oh noes! An iron boot trap, how vile!" Uh... still not seeing how this qualifies as even evil, much less vile.
The section on villains isn't very good BoVD material, either. I mean, it's a fine discussion of the topic, but again, lacks the enthusiasm for evil that I'd expect in a discussion of "vile" bad guys. I mean- Kitiara, vile?? I hate Dragonlance more than most, and even I wouldn't call her "vile".
The actual new monsters included aren't very vile either. Fallen angels- servants of dead gods- are angry at the loss of their former patron. How does this make them vile?? They are even still trying to continue their deity's work! Sure, maybe if they followed a vile god, but from the way I read it, these "vile" monsters could be trying to continue good works. Uh, what?
Then you have the mini-adventure that centers around the Book itself... which includes absolutely no moral dilemmas or vile elements other than a few powers in stat blocks (discounting the questionable moral dilemma of whether to take the book in the first place).
All of these are areas that disappointed me; I think the solution I'd offer is pretty obvious.
Don't pussyfoot around. Talk about the nature of evil in a darker-than-Disney way. Talk about ways to make encounters feel vile, not just by saying, "Oh yeah, these orcs have a really vile motivation!!1!!" but by showing the vileness. If you include monsters and traps in a BoVD, they ought to be vile monsters and traps (some of them work for me; the rot grub filled pit is a great example). There are TONS of vile traps and monsters from D&D's history that we haven't yet seen in 4e. Why a new silly fallen angel monster that might be on a mission for good instead of, say, the brain collector?
And as for the adventure, there ought to be difficult moral choices with real consequences for taking (or leaving!) the Book, as well as once the party has it (or has given it up).

So who here just might let their D&D peeps just use these feats and other stuff even if they aren't evil? I could see it working for unaligned but meh. We shall see. The contract killer is op with its lvl20th attack that adds 5d8s if you are hidden. So with sneak attack, assuming they get backstabber, that will be 8d8s + W damage xD lol.

The book doesn't seem to go into evil = icky, sadomasochism is vile evil, over the top sort of gross = evil that the original BoVD did, but some of the examples (as others have said) don't strike me as particularly evil in the grand scheme of things. Stuff from the feywild and far realm as evil (these aren't exactly alignment based planes so why precisely are they providing examples of vile evil versus the Abyss or the 9 Hells?). The crypt thing as an automaton being a vile trap? Unless it's taking the living spirit of someone to power it, and making them witness their own actions as a tomb guardian in forced undeath it's pretty tame for traps. There's some of 'kinda sorta I guess this might be evil' in the 4e BovD versus the 'omg over the top to the point of being silly' evil in the 3e BoVD. Both have their drawbacks on the topic, but how actually dark can you get before getting complaints about the book?
Mind you, I'm coming off of having written a book about soul-devouring daemons for Paizo (Book of the Damned 3: Horsemen of the Apocalypse), and I'd argue that a good deal of that book covers some of the same ground as the various iterations of the BoVD do (albeit from a very focused angle). And even then it's a fine line between writing material that truly impresses upon readers the level of irredeemable evil such a creature epitomizes and not going so utterly grimdark that it's not readable, or so crazy over the top that it goes into the realm of silly and shock for the value of shock.
While the book talks about souls, I'd have gone into the 'why' part of it in more explicit terms and about what fiends and evil gods do with them, and how PCs or NPCs can use them. What value do they have, what power can they provide, and what are the consequences of actually using souls in such a capacity?
Some of the recycled artwork is a little jarring, and I'm not sure if the art budget is getting compromised (like in late stage 3.x) but some of them just stood out like the 3e MM Chaos Beast. It's partially a 4e rewriting of the topic, but a creature that was CN for multiple editions now being "vile", again it's just odd to me. But again, that's a consequence of things beyond the author's control and he has to make the best of it.
And to answer a question from before, the readability part. There just seems like a lot of white space on some pages, with straight black text on plain white background it's feels like a textbook (which is a problem I've had with a number of 4e books). It might just be perception and I've not actually done a word count on various pages (which is hard when I don't have a copy in hand from my FLGS).

Sorry to deviate from the topic somewhat, but....
Can someone with the book give me the names of the fallen angels? They sound like a good fit for my own campaign, so I would like to take a look at them on DDI later.

Surprising lack of necrotic support. Poison support isn't much better--just a couple "once per day tack some on." Still no cold ki focus for vamps/assassins/monks. I liked the Channel Divinities and the disciple feats for the most part. The boons generally have ok properties but some of them have silly drawbacks on the power.

You'd think that with so much information available, someone could tell you what caused autism in your child - but the odds are you'll never know. Could your individual child have developed autism as a result of heredity? Could he or she have been exposed in utero to something that caused a neurological anomaly? Could some post-natal exposure be to blame? As of the writing of this article, all of those possibilities are still under investigation.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany restaurant workers remain on alert but there is some relief. Three suspects are in jail now charged with one in a string of nine holdups.
On Tuesday, police said solving the violent crime spree was their top priority and they thought the same gang committed all those robberies.
From North Albany to South, surveillance video reveals several recent armed robberies at restaurants. "It's scary for the simple reason that you don't know who or what is going to come," said Subway employee Santiago Bush.
Video shows one robber in action at the Subway on South Slappey December 9th--one of nine robberies since October. "You know when you work in an environment like this, your life is in danger," said Bush.
Bush says there's no reason for a robber to inflict that danger and fear on innocent people. "No excuse, no excuse," said Bush, "we're in a recession but we're not messed up so bad where a person has to do this and do that."
The armed robberies happened during business hours. Customers simply getting a bite to eat are seeing guns up close. "It's very scary. It's scary. It's sad and we need solutions," said customer Bridgett Shealy.
"As we always say, once the citizens get involved, we're able to get some results," said Lt. James Williams with Albany Police. Calls from citizens led investigators to three suspects, 18-year-old Rashay Wallace, 19-year-old Jeffery Alexander and 18-year-old Jonquerrias Gillan. Two of the suspects, Gillan and Wallace, are charged with the December Subway armed robbery.
"I'd just like to take this opportunity to thank the public for their assistance in calling and assisting us to make these arrests," said Chief Wilma Griffin with Albany Police.
"It makes me a feel a whole lot better to know that police are doing their jobs and working to put these people behind bars," said Shealy.
As for the other robberies including a recent one at another Subway restaurant, police are still working to determine if the same guys are responsible. "We are looking into that part of the investigation," said Williams.
In the meantime, restaurant employees are being cautious. Bush says they have to be aware of who walks through the door. "All of us work as a team and stay positive minded," said Bush.
As they work they hope they're no longer interrupted by bold robbers.
The three young men are also charged with burglary and robbery for targetting one of the suspect's neighbors on December 28th. Police say they put a gun to a man's head inside his apartment on Avalon Avenue and stole several items.

BOLIVAR, TN (WMC-TV) - Earlier this week, Action News 5 broke the story about a West Tennessee district attorney who's now accused of sexual misconduct. But what's Terry Dycus' history with the state?
Dycus began his career of public service in 1991 as an employee of the Tennessee Department of Human Services. He then moved into the courtroom.
"His greatest time was with the Public Defenders from June 1991 'till April 2001," said Guy Jones with the Tennessee District Attorney's General Conference.
From April 2001 to February 2002, Dycus served as an Assistant District Attorney in the 13th Judicial District in middle Tennessee.
Until recently, Dycus served as an assistant to Mike Dunavant in the 25th Judicial District in West Tennessee.
"The DA apparently has taken action there. Mr. Dycus is no longer employed and there may be allegations that may need to be looked at by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation," Jones said.
Two weeks ago, two female defendants with cases in court in Hardeman County wound up reporting Dycus to the Bolivar Police Chief.
According to their attorney, both women claim Dycus was trying to coerce them into having sex in exchange for getting their cases thrown out of court.
They also claim Dycus touched them inappropriately while court was in recess.
The TBI is looking into these allegations. They will then turn Dycus' case over to special prosecutor Paul Hagerman of Shelby County.
"It's essentially no different, the way its done, is no different that if it were a conflict case for instance if someone in the office had a family member accused of a crime," Jones said.
Action News 5 contacted the Tennessee Board of Professional Responsibility, which announces disciplinary actions taken by the Tennessee Supreme Court against attorneys.
They said there had never been any disciplinary action taken against Terry Dycus.

Know heart attack signs, and get help fast
A man feels unwell and is short of breath. He calls 911 and later learns he had a heart attack.
Just days later, he is discharged with only minimal damage to his heart. His decision to call 911 saved his life.
The end of Heart Month has B.C. Ambulance Service reminding people that not all people experience heart attacks in the same way – and many don't know they are having one until it is too late.
Chest pain is often the primary symptom of heart attack, but other secret signs are shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, sweating, heart palpitations, tiredness and lightheadedness.
Being aware of the symptoms and calling 911 if a heart attack is suspected can greatly improve survival rates, the ambulance service says in a release.
"A heart attack occurs when blockages in arteries restrict the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
"As blood flow stops, the heart cells start to die and cannot regenerate like other parts of the body," said vice-president of medical programs Dr. William Dick.
"In these situations, it's essential to save time and heart muscle. Getting a patient to the right care at the right time can be a matter of life and death." So what should you do to if you suspect a heart attack?
• Call 911 – BCAS call takers and paramedics can begin diagnosis and treatment right away.
• Be aware of the symptoms of heart attack – not all patients experience the same symptoms.
• Worry about false alarms – let paramedics and cardiologists make the call.
• Drive yourself to hospital – this could slow your access to treatment and put others at risk if your condition worsens.
"As a paramedic, I've seen too many cases where patients have waited too long to call 911. Paramedics are specially trained and have access to equipment that allows us to diagnose a heart attack and begin treatment right at the patient's side," said paramedic Julien Ponsioen.
"Once we arrive at hospital, vital information is relayed to cardiologists so they have a better idea where to start looking for blocked arteries, and can treat patients faster."
BCAS operates under the authority of BC Emergency Health Services to provide residents and health care professionals with access to pre-hospital emergency and patient transfer services.

Offer states waivers to No Child Left Behind if they meet requirements
"The President will offer states committed to reform relief from the worst mandates of No Child Left Behind like incentives to teach to the test so they can craft local solutions."
Subjects: Education, Second Term Promise
Obama administration has approved waivers for many states
Updated: Wednesday, April 10th, 2013 | By Sara Myers
After the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act in 2011, better known as the No Child Left Behind Act, President Barack Obama incorporated statewide education waivers as a promise in his reelection campaign.
"We're going to let states, schools and teachers come up with innovative ways to give our children the skills they need to compete for the jobs of the future," Obama said on Sept. 23, 2011.
These waivers require states to create college-and career-ready standards; identify over- and under-performing schools; develop a plan that increases achievement at all performance levels, including identified subgroups; implement meaningful teacher and principal evaluations; and reduce duplicate paperwork and bureaucracy.
When the states sufficiently demonstrate these requirements, they get more flexibility in determining statewide goals and utilizing funding, as well as additional funding for the best and worst identified schools in the state.
Thirty-four of 44 states have been approved for the waivers, as well as the District of Columbia. Waiting to be approved for waivers are Alaska, Hawaii, Alabama, Illinois, West Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, and the Bureau of Indian Education. Wyoming and Texas signaled their intent to file waiver requests on March 10, 2013, but have not done so yet.
Requests from California and Iowa were rejected for not incorporating high enough standards for teacher and principal evaluations. North Dakota has withdrawn its application.
Although this promise was made during the reelection campaign, most of the waivers were approved before the election. Only two states, Maryland and Michigan, have been accepted and one state, California has been rejected since the president has been elected.
Although the waivers have been granted, one expert we consulted said it was too soon to say how effective they are at encouraging local solutions and removing incentives to teach to the test.
"It's really too soon to know how (the waiver) flexibility will play out, or whether the policy fixes or will fix the 'worst mandates of NCLB,"" said Dr. Jennifer McMurrer, a senior research associate with the Center for Education Policy. "We've now got a very wide range of different accountability systems--which are arguably less transparent."
Although the full effects of the waivers are unknown, the program does emphasize local control over educational programs, as well as alternative evaluations that are clearly designed to offer relief from No Child Left Behind. Therefore, we rate this as Promise Kept.

Dozens of local scholarship funds are available for Carroll County high school students through the Community Foundation of Carroll County.
Scholarships based on college major, athletics, academics, and character among other things, are available. Deadlines vary depending on the scholarship fund.
Some of the more than 70 funds available include:
The Gretchen Brandt Character Award was established to honor and pay tribute to Gretchen, a student athlete, who was a member of the Class of 2006 at Century High School. Her life was cut short, but her character remains in the halls of Century.
The recipient of this award will be someone with the same values, morals, and dedication to life. Teachers and coaches will nominate deserving, college-bound senior athletes, based on the character exhibited every day, when they thought no one was looking. It will be their attitude, camaraderie, friendships, and sportsmanship that will be noticed, not their athletic or academic achievements.
The award will be given to a college-bound athlete who played at least two team sports at Century, showed compassion and respect toward others, built a rapport with those he/she came in contact with, and exemplified school spirit and dedication on and off the court or field.
The Charlie Diegel History Award has been established by his family, in memory of Charlie Diegel, a member of the Westminster High School Class of 2007. Charlie loved history and was planning to major in history in college. The $500 award is made to a graduating senior from Westminster High School who has shown both a passion for and proficiency in the study of history, and who plans to pursue a career in the history field.
The purpose of the Everybody's Quilt Guild Textile Arts Scholarship is to provide a scholarship for a student who is a resident of Carroll County, Maryland, graduating from a Carroll County high school, private high school, or home-school program. This student must have been accepted at an accredited College or University with plans to pursue studies in the field of Textile Arts. In addition, the student must meet all of the requirements listed for the Fund at the link below.
To learn more about these scholarships and others, visit the Community Foundation of Carroll County website.


text: 25 Oct 2013 HOME SWEET VERSACE The Versace family has officially added two new brothers: Simon and Nikolai Haas Photography courtesy Versace Words Ray Siegel Last night at Versace's Mercer Street location, the Los Angeles-based design duo known as the Haas Brothers presented their second line of fashion and fashionable home accessories. "Did you already know what living the Versace life might be like," we asked. "No, we have heard about it, obviously, but living it is different," Simon Haas recalls of his time spent with Donatella Versace in Milan. "Donatella flew us there—we saw the show, had dinner, and chilled. She was so much fun to be with," Simon adds. "Her personality is super inspiring, and super vibrant. She seems like a 16 year old girl. She has so much energy for designs, from sculpture, textile ideas. Just a bunch of inspiration. She got down on the floor at the Waldorf Astoria and spread all of our ideas out flipping through it and throwing stuff on the floor that she didn't like. Putting the stuff she liked in a pile. It was like a super organic, awesome experience. It was crazy to meet somebody that we didn't really know, and then all of a sudden becoming so close. She made it so inspiring, so easy and so fun. I really admire her. She is the reason everything happened." If the brothers could take on another dream collaboration with Versace: "I would love to make a leather collection," Nikolai told us. "Lots of jackets and shoes—leather everything. I love leather. A really bad ass jacket or prints. Killer boots." Simon added, "I'd like to draw more prints." What bigger challenge could a print designer take on than creating new prints for Versace? "I used a pictograph and it took forever. The drawing was so detailed. I thought I was going to breakdown. I even stopped smoking because it was so intense!" Simon told us. "He was up to until 5am every night," Nikolai says. "He called me one night crying." In the end, not even the humble Haas brothers could dispute that the collection was well worth the blood, sweat, tears—and nicotine withdrawal.Card holderLeopard t-shirtiPhone case Facebook Twitter Pintrest

New electronics generally come with a manual, and manufacturers' websites are filled with answers to frequently asked questions. But to cut through some of that research, I compiled these 15 tips, suggestions and advisories that can benefit any boating angler.
I queried the service specialists at Furuno, Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance, and Humminbird to tell me about common issues and common solutions. Here are some of the many thoughts they provided:
Back up waypoints to a memory card. (Courtesy Furuno USA)
1. Back up waypoints and settings on a memory card. Most units use SD cards now — a 2GB SD card from a company like SanDisk should work. Manuals offer instruction, though the process is fairly common. Note: Any time you have to do a master reset of your MFD, it wipes out all waypoints. So back up frequently.
2. To prevent fouling, paint your transducer with water-based paint made for transducers. Brands include MDR, Woolsey, Pettit and Sea Hawk. Never use spray paint or ketone-based paint.
3. Protect power and data cables from corrosion by covering connectors left exposed to the elements. Most companies include a protective weather cap for cables. If your cables have these covers, use them every time you unplug the connectors. If you don't have such covers, find an area to store the connectors that's completely dry and covered.

4. Just as home computers are susceptible to power surges, so are the electronics aboard your vessel. Take care to isolate electronics from surges. That may have been done during installation, but if you're not sure, never start the vessel's engine(s) with the electronics turned on. It can cause equipment lockup, loss of data, or damage the unit.
5. Never leave a fish finder in a closed car or trunk. Extremely high temperatures can harm the unit.
Easy Fixes/Shortcuts

6. If you've stored your boat, the autopilot might misbehave during spring commissioning. If the vessel indicator on the display starts crabbing or shows the wrong direction, try recalibrating the electronic compass (check your manual).
7. Use a labeling machine (like a Brother P-Touch) to identify cables, especially if the displays are coming off the boat for the season. It can also be useful to create a wiring diagram, and even list the NMEA 0183 and/or 2000 data messages being sent to and from data ports.

and the BASHING continues......
There's this thing called a salary cap which baseball doesn't have. Steinbrenner can hire and fire whomever he likes when you have a payroll of $194 million dollars. If you're not getting results with that kind of money, heads should roll. Bucs are spending in the middle of the pack.Gruden also has had to work with a lot less. Four missing high draft picks. A salary cap that has been maxed out. An aging defense that is eating up most of that cap. QB instability. A worthless OL. A mediocre kicking game which cost us 2003. An overpaid UT, overpaid K (Gramatica), and under paid QB (Johnson) that sabotaged our cap for 2-3 years. WE ARE JUST NOW CLIMBING OUT OF THE HOLE THAT MCKAY DUG FOR US BEFORE HE LEFT. Have patience the pieces on offense are slowly coming together and the defense will be purged and rebuilt next year. We will have $21 million under the cap, plus the purging of Booger and co. to add to that number. Firing Gruden now would be rash and ridiculous. WHO THE $%* WOULD YOU LIKE TO REPLACE HIM WITH?! ANOTHER RETREAD COACH? WE WOULD HAVE TO PURGE OUR ROSTER OF ALL THE PLAYERS THAT WE'VE ACQUIRED AND REBUILD ALL OVER AGAIN. [banghead]
AllDaWay, when do you replace a coach? I can see both sides on this one. Bill Cowher has been with the Steelers for ten+ years and in return they have had two trips to the SB and have one title. On the other side, Barry Switzer came to Dallas and won a SB title his second and final season with the team. Gruden hasn't shown me that he deserves all of the acclaim he is receiving. I say again, I have never seen a coach get more love from the fans than most of the actual players who play the game; it's incredible!

So while it's got enough faults to keep it from being a GOTY contender for most, it's still the best Tomb Raider title I've ever played, and I'm really curious to see what's next for the franchise once again.
Tomb Raider Underworld was far more enjoyable than I ever thought it would be. The expansive environments, solid platforming sequences, challenging puzzles, and adventure-filled storyline should appeal to anyone who loved the Prince of Persia games and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Disappointingly, combat is fairly mediocre, and a lot of technical inconsistencies are troublesome. Nevertheless, Underworld is a very good game.
It's no longer a culturally significant event, and even Lara's charms are beginning to lose their edge. But make no mistake, it warms our hearts to see Lara back doing what she does best. [Christmas 2008, p.98]
Then again, perhaps the short play-time is a blessing in disguise: it helps spare you from a really long adventure where you have to suffer with that camera.
Tomb Raider Underworld is a decent game that Lara Croft fans will enjoy, but it's not quite the experience that will live up to or even surpass that of Legend.
In the overall impression of Tomb Raider: Underworld, I believe somewhere under this mess lies an actual good game you can play and enjoy. Unfortunately the lack of polish and refinement that could have done to fix the awful camera and frame rate might have saved the enjoyment of Lara Croft's newest adventure.
Both Lara and her series are well past their prime, and both try in vain to look half their age. Though she might be worth a few hours of your time, Lara's best days are far behind her.

Jul 16, 2011(About the PC version)
This Graphics are just unbelievable. I have a lot of games in my PC, most of them are much more recent than Tomb Raider Underworld. But no one matches Underworld Graphics. The graphics are so good that sometimes it's hard to pay attention in gameplay. You just stay and watch, watch, watch. And it's so light. The problem of the game is rush storyline, and we can't absorb Lara's personality and empathize with her. The jump system sometimes is annoying, and don't obey you. Even with perfect jumps, and even when you have absolutely sure it won't miss.... the jump fails and you watch Lara die. If you like loneliness exploring game. Solitude, and drool over scenarios, sound, atmosphere. You can't miss this game. It's awesome.… Collapse
Mar 6, 2013The last-best-real tomb raider!It has almost everything,grand puzzles,great platforming,"open" areas to explore,good story and superb voice acting.Camera is still a bit tricky and the combat is nothing special but nothing is annoying enough to take out from this tomb raider experience!… Expand
May 14, 2012Tomb raider underworld is the last part of a "trilogy" started by Crystal Dynamics with Legend. I loved ths game even though it has its faults. Back then when it debuted, I was amazed by the graphics, not because it was realistic, but because after a long time I was getting the same feeling I had with the earlier installements. Each environment has its charm and stands out on its own. I didn't have the feeling of walking a corridor like I had in Legend, I explored, I solved puzzles, I climbed walls like in a proper tomb raider game. Combat mechanic is lacking though, action takes a back seat, in fact there aren't any "boss fights". I never understood why limiting the arsenal to just two weapons, i prefer the older, unrealistic way. Plot-wise the game creates a big set up, but the payoff is.. well it's not satisfying, the biggest problem is that they got stuck in the annoying:"missing mother" storyline, They could explore more the dynamic between some of the characters. Overall this game is a step in the right direction, even though it might become challenging in some areas, checkpoints make the experience less annoying. Good game, it should be cheap by now so give it a try.… Expand
Jul 22, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bom jogo. Recomendo para quem gostou dos 2 últimos jogos da série. Possui gráficos medianos em relação as pessoas e monstros que aparecem porem os senários são magnÃficos. Dão um show a parte, principalmente quando se está em locais onde há predominância de florestas, rios, mares, que são super detalhados. A Câmera as vezes atrapalha mas nada que um bom comando nos analógicos e após uns minutos que possa fazer acostumar com os problemas ali apresentados. Então, está ai, recomendado para todos que gostaram dos jogos anteriores da serie.… Expand
Aug 28, 2012This review is late is I only replayed the game recently. So many bugs, even after the updates. Its a decent game, but I feel its hardly representative of a true Tomb Raider adventure. Then again, neither was Angel of Darkness. If you want an easy Platinum, go ahead and play this game, but its very frustrating because of the numerous bugs that they STILL have not fixed since its release. Not its not awful, but saying its a great game is a little biased. They could have done more with the story, characters, and, if you are not looking for treasure, this game can be finished in 5 hours. Buy it in the trilogy or buy it cheap. That way you DO get your money's worth.… Expand
Apr 28, 2014This game would be perfect... if it didn't have as much puzzles. i HATE puzzles. on the other hand, the combat is really fun, and the new ' hanging and shooting' mechanic is great. All that is bad is the puzzles. I can't really say much else.… Expand
Sep 23, 2011This game takes one step forward and two giant leaps back. I'll get the positive things out of the way first, the grappling hook behaves much better than previous games, the graphics are quite good (when still) and there are some genuinely clever puzzles to be solved. Now for the bad stuff... the camera almost never wants to cooperate with you, the frame rate stutters frequently, the controls for the platforming segments are clumsy and broken, the combat is still terrible (as it was in previous games) put all those things together and you have one bad game. Despite pretty graphics and clever puzzles, the poor execution of the other gameplay elements prevented me from enjoying this game.… Expand

You can relax, you can party its your choice.
A couple words of note; the sports bar usually has ESPN and the news playing.
Birds are an issue on deck 11 days in port. They will aggressively try to get food, it is really annoying and spoils a relating meal.
The Sky is a great ship for all ages. The staff puts on excellent shows and activities, the casino for adults, the White Hot Party (Norwegian's Signature late night party), where I saw a 12 year old kid leading the dancing on stage! No fear for that kid. Latin beats in the Outrigger Lounge (Deck 11 Forward) and many other excellent locations for viewing the sea and finding a sense of adventure!
I strongly recommend the Outrigger Lounge. Great drinks, great music and a cool staff.

A man is dead after an officer-involved shooting in DeKalb County overnight.
It happened at the Alden Ridge Apartment complex in Clarkston around midnight.
Police say they were called to the apartments because a man was walking around banging on doors, all over the complex.
When police arrived they approached the man and he brandished a weapon. Authorities say they asked him to drop his weapon. After he refused, police shot him.
The perpetrator was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital where he later died. Authorities later determined his gun was a "prop", but officers say the man was carrying several knives at the time of the shooting.
The officer was placed on administrative leave with pay.
A spokesperson for the Alden Ridge apartment complex released a statement on Friday saying:
"Alden Ridge is cooperating fully with the authorities in their investigation of this incident. The security of our residents is of the utmost concern to us, and as we cooperate with the investigation, we will evaluate ways to improve the safety of our community."
The identity of the suspect has not been released, at this time.

Buddypress and jquery incompatability
I'm new to buddypress but not new to wordpress. It seems that buddypress's handling of jQuery is very fragile. It is very easy to break jquery functions (such as the avatar crop) with plugins and it seems to override all other jquery based plugins and cause errors in them or simply break them altogether. What can I do about this? are there other people experiencing this?

It seems like our last dozen updates on Hunter Pence have involved the Phillies in some way, and there's a reason for that: the Phillies are intent on landing an offensive upgrade, and after missing out on Carlos Beltran, they've turned their attention to a younger, more expensive alternative.
Nothing between the Phillies and Astros appears to be imminent, but Jon Heyman gives an idea of how things are going:
seems like philly will do whatever it takes to land pence. may even try to involve 3rd team to get it done.
And more, from Jayson Stark:
So that leaves the Phillies, who have made Pence far and away their No. 1 target. But because the Phillies and Astros haven't been able to agree on players beyond the Phillies' initial offer, other clubs reported Friday they're now exploring potential three-team deals to put the pieces together.
I'm not going to say the Phillies are desperate, because they aren't; they do, after all, own baseball's best record. But from the sounds of things, they're going to exhaust every last possibility on Pence. The Astros reportedly turned down an offer that included the Phillies' best hitting prospect and their best pitching prospect, but one figures they can't possibly be looking for much more than that.
Why are the Phillies so far out in front of these negotiations, you ask? Because other teams have dropped out and because, while the Astros like pitching and therefore like what the Braves could offer, the Braves are reluctant to part with their abundant riches. Buster Olney:
There continues to be zero enthusiasm within Atl org. about giving up any of the core 4 pitching prospects-Teheran, Vizcaino, Minor, Delgado
Joel Sherman confirms that the Braves don't want to give up what the Astros want. So boring, those Braves. So boring and responsible.
