Gulf Coast beach on-site cottages. While you reminisce what the old Florida
beach life must have been like, enjoy all of the modern amenities
such as a full kitchen with new appliances, central A/C & heat, fireplace, 300
channels of digital cable on a 36" TV, and high-
speed wireless internet connection! The salt-kissed air and tropical
breezes are a constant reminder that you are little more than a 1
block walk to the most beautiful sunsets on the pristinely white sand
beaches and azure waters of the Gulf of Mexico!

tranquil, quaint beach neighborhood and not herded into crowds of
tourists like large resorts often feel. Blend in as a local, as the

shopping and beautiful tropically-landscaped parks are steps from
your very own cozy little cottage! All major beach resorts,
including the majestic Don Cesar in historic Pass-a-Grille are still
within walking distance.

cottage is the cleanest around. Tired of tacky Florida decor?
Imagine yourself surrounded by luscious tropical landscaping, oak
hardwood floors, and rooms tastfully adorned in Floribbean decor.
If you appreciate attention to detail, Queen Palm
Cottage is just for you!
The very relaxed Florida and Cuban-inspired decor is also found in the sleeping/living area with plush bedding, linens, and pillows to catch a good night's rest after
a full day of sightseeing, watersports or just relaxing on the nearby
pristine beach. The cottage is completed in a very comfortable
and relaxing setting that includes plenty of room to accommodate extra guests or family members. Natural light fills the cottage as thick plantation window
blinds throughout lend to the feel and ambiance of the southern
seas. The kitchen, complete with full appliances and cookware, is decorated in
natural tones and a seashell theme that are a constant reminder of
the sand and seashells that await you outside...providing the perfect
backdrop for preparing your very own 5-star gourmet meals!
The cottage is complete with a large brick paver outdoor sitting area with BBQ grill and chairs. Imagine yourself relaxing in your own outdoor space while listening to palm trees dancing in the tropical breezes while native birds sing you a song.
Also, your own boat dock is just steps from the front door and
may be reserved depending upon availability for an extra fee.

value and recreation!

Jus Juchtmans' COLOR-VIRUS Exhibition Opens at Margaret Thatcher Projects Today
Margaret Thatcher Projects will present Color-Virus, the third solo exhibition of Belgian artist, Jus Juchtmans. In the exhibition, micro-layers of acrylic and acrylic gel medium are skillfully stretched atop one another, creating an illusionary sense of space. The effect is balanced by thick drips at the edges of the canvas, countering illusion and grounding, and giving attention to the physical object in its environment. This theme of duality underlies all of Juchtmans' paintings. The exhibition will be on view today, February 13 - March 22, 2014, with an artist's reception set for tonight, February 13 from 6 to 8 p.m.
At the foundation of abstract painting, there is a belief that to work abstractly is the most honest way to describe and share the experience of an emotion. To include the figure is to place a limit on the edges of such expression. The paintings of Jus Juchtmans provide a space for this exploration, rewarding extended viewing by revealing subtle colors and shapes from beneath the surface glaze.
When approaching his surfaces, the first image likely to catch attention is the viewer's own reflection, forcing one to walk around the painting and observe it from multiple angles in order to actually see it. Even this initial investigation is fruitful, since it brings attention to the paintings rich edges. Reflection is a recurring theme, both in the literal reflection of the viewer but also in the phenomenological experience of viewing his paintings. As color is undoubtedly an integral part of Jus' work, the light conditions, itself variable based on time of day, also contribute a great deal to the viewing experience.
Juchtmans' neutrality towards symbolism or transference of a specific idea, and heightened attention to the artworks immediate surroundings connect his works to Minimalists such as Donald Judd and Dan Flavin, as well as monochrome painters of the same period, such as Mark Rothko and Yves Klein.
Jus Juchtmans (b. 1952) lives and works in Antwerp, Belgium. He has exhibited extensively throughout Europe, the United States and Australia. Solo-exhibitions include Galerie Van Den Berge (Goes, NL), Galerie Albrecht (Berlin, DE), Galeria Nieves Fernandez (Madrid, ES) and MUKA Gallery (Auckland. NZ). Works are included in several prominent public and private collections including the Peter Stuyvesant Collection (Amsterdam, NL), The Karl Ernst Osthaus-Museum (Hagen, DE) and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (La Jolla, CA.)
Margaret Thatcher Projects is located at 539 West 23rd Street, between 10th and 11th Avenues. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm. For further information, contact the gallery at: email@example.com, call 212.675.0222 or visit www.thatcherprojects.com.
Artwork: Jus Juchtmans, 20121028, 2012 Acrylic on canvas, 47 x 35.5 inches (120 x 90 cm).

A lot of dedicated, admirable people gave their time for recording scoring chances over the last few years, so it's tough for me to see these results on one hand. On the other, it reiterates previous studies that have suggested that the "shot quality" argument has no legs. Great work from Eric T., and more importantly great work from all those scoring chance counters. We couldn't have done this without you.
I think this is probably one of the better articles on statistics I've seen in the debate, if only because it explores both sides fairly well. I will say this, though: whatever your angle on this thing, try to avoid the assumption that hockey statisticians haven't explored the many, many potential confounding factors. If there's anything that overthrows the argument for Corsi, it's going to be shot quality (I believe the Challenge is still on, right Gabe?), not "heart" or "determination" or "enigmatic Russians." Well, maybe the Russians...
A Look at Shot Quality I wanted to take a crack at shot quality. So I looked at shots recorded by ESPN's GameCast system for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 regular seasons. Only shots and goals were...

What do four years worth of NHL shot quality data show? Behind the Net finds that it's not a significant factor over a large number of shots.
For several seasons, the average reported shot distance at Madison Square Garden has been the shortest in the league. A look at video highlights shows why.

The picture of a pair of coyotes was taken by a motion-activated camera in Frohring Park in Bainbridge Township. It's the same two coyotes who were in the park last year, and the female coyote is pregnant and will deliver pups in a few weeks. Normally passive, coyotes will become aggressive when protecting their dens. The key to safety, according to Geauga Park District Biologist Paul Pira, while in the park, is to keep your dog on a leash.
"When a dog, off leash, would encounter a coyote or a coyote den, that's when encounters happen and confrontations between animals," said Pira.
There are signs posted in the park urging visitors to keep their dogs on a leash, but Pira says, park research shows that only half of the park visitors comply.
If you are approached by a coyote, it is suggested that you:
Bainbridge resident Alicia Knowles is a frequent visitor to the park and she keeps her dog on a leash, but still, she worries. "I think they should trap them and put them in a sanctuary somewhere that's safe for the coyotes, they are invading the public parks, it is a problem," she says.
But according to Pira, trapping and moving coyotes does not work, another pair will quickly move into the area.

3.93/5 rDev -3.4%
I was happy to see this was still on tap when I arrived at the brew pub,came to the table in a standard pint glass a deep burnt orange color with a thinner but well sustained slight off white head.Not as big a hop presence than I thought I would find in the aromas there is some piney/resiny stuff going on with a hint of caramel malt but a little subdued for the style.Not an in your face hop bomb but the flavors hit and last through to the finish rather piney and citric with a big caramel base that hold up well with the hops.Like I said the hops dont smack you in the face but they stay through to the finish,a very nice harvest time ale here.

A: Pours a nice copper orange with no real head to speak of. Little to no lacing on the glass.
S: Smell is very subtle. A little bit of hops, but not much else. I expected more from this.
T: Okay, so this is pretty tasty. Though, as others have said, I'd class it more as a standard IPA than a DIPA. It doesn't have that DIPA hop bomb hit that usually marks that style. Instead it's a mellow and rather pleasant hoppiness that is really balanced out by the sweetness of the malt. A hint of alcohol provides a bit of warmth.
M: Smooth with a slightly dry and crisp finish.
D: It's easy to put down, so I'd say it's very drinkable - as an IPA. As a DIPA, there are much better ones you can find. A nice effort overall though.

I'm not entirely sure that this is classified correctly. I would probably call it an IPA as opposed to a DIPA and I'll rate it as such. It has a nice dark amber/red body with a decent white head. The aroma is nice and sweet with a bunch of caramel and a good citrus kick. The flavor is much the same with caramel having a strong presence with a great hop kick. Very tasty beer all around. Great drinkability.

An amber color with a thick white head and some impressive stickiness. It had a grassy, floral aroma, but the aroma was a little weak (either that, or my nose died). A nice, crisp citrus taste with some good hop bitterness. Fairly assertive, a good beer to drink. Goes well with food.
10/07: have now had this beer several times (I think they're in their third incarnation), and it just gets better each time. More fragrant, more taste. It's becoming one of my favorite beers at the Brewery.

3.9/5 rDev -4.2%
Pours clear copper, with an off-white, rocky head.
Retention is noteworthy with duration lasting throughout.
Clingy lacework of dots and erratic rings.
Aromatics have a subdued, but fresh hop profile balanced with crisp malt.
Mildly grassy and citrusy, with a hint of chaulkiness and a nod towords Burton.
Body is medium and crisp, some light residuals add some additional mouthfeel.
Pallet is a balance of hops and malt, with most of the hopping being in the bitterness.
An ever-so-slight wet hop character peeks through, but not much.
The brew itself is quite fresh, but the full-on grassy, typically earthy hop presense is not there.
Finishes with a firm bitterness and some lingering caramel and citrus.
More reminiscent of a good APA.
Big thanks go out to Hopasaurusrex for hooking me up.

Secured a bottle of Hop Harvest from JayT and had it for lunch today. I was expecting a deep, earthy hoppy beer similar to the BIG A but I was surprised how easy drinking this beer turned out to be. The initial sip had a nice rich but sweet hoppy character to it, that last through the entire pour. Very well balanced, a great beer to share with friends, biut I didn't want to share this beer with anyone after my first taste. It had an almost smoky taste to it as well - not sure if that's JT's doing, but it was one of my favorite beers I have tried this year. Keep up the good work and thanks for the free sample. allen, Dogfish

Sampled on-tap at the brewpub in September 2005.
This Wet Hopped Harvest Ale poured a hazy/cloudy, rusty brown color with creamy, light tan foam that settled slowly and clung to and coated the glass. The smell was hoppy, though surprisingly mild for a fresh harvest ale, backed up with some malty aroma. The taste was nicely richly malty (some Munich malt?) with dry hoppiness and mild hop bitterness but plenty of hop oils in the finish. The finish was also lightly fruity. The mouthfeel was dry and smooth with medium body and modest carbonation. There were dry, woody notes in the feel. This ale was very drinkable and quite enjoyable.

Enjoyed this one on tap last weekend and was fortunate to bring home a couple bombers to enjoy in the comfort of my own home.
Pours a dark copper color w/ a half a finger of bright white head after a fairly agressive pour...thin lacing forms.
Fresh floral hop aroma...iced tea, and a mild sweet maltness.
The taste is incredibly enjoyable w/out going over the top...a nice balanced brew. Hops become more fruity on the pallet and supplies a bitterness that is fantastic...the malt adds a sweetness in the finish w/ no alcohol detected.
Mouthfeel is a tad thin for the style, but the drinkability is very high...this one just goes down too easy.
These guys at Portsmouth really know how to pick a style and produce one fine offering...although, it is not the punch you'd expect from most IIPA's these days, it is a definite IPA times two.

Had on tap from the brewpub. The beer was presented in a standard pint glass and had a sliver of white head. The beer itself was a light brown color, and very little lacing was left throughout the sample.
The smell was hoppy and floral but with a distinct malt accent as well. A slight pine nut smell. Overall, I thought the smell to be a "malty IPA."
The taste was very alla arrogant bastard with a hearty innitial malty taste that soon yeilds to an outpouring of hop flavor, bitterness, and intensity. Each sip has a crispness finished off with a bitterness at the back and sides of the tounge. Not strong or warming with alcohol, but hopped up more than their "standard" IPA.
Medium body with ample carbonation and very easy to drink. One for hop lovers as it delivers the bitter arrogance of a DIPA without the alcoholic kick.

Had this on cask, and now this is my review of the tap version, which I also had while at the brew-pub yesterday. Basically, I'll contrast the differences which I saw between the two serving styles. Dark amber in color, the head was lower and less dense than that from the cask. Some lace in my glass. The aroma from the tap was even more prominant of that lovely candy like hop quality, which I love. Taste was actually pretty comparable to the cask version, but there was more definition from the malt and the hops in this on-tap version. Still good, although maybe the cask is a touch more session-like. Alcohol tries to hide...it's so tasty and easy to drink, but you do need to keep one eye on the abv :-)

Made with 80 pounds of hops, according to their website.
Well, it looks desirious! Has a deep copper color, with a hint of haze. Topped by a very creamy, light tan - beige head; lasts decently, and laces well also. An acceptable aroma, for sure: very west-coasty...citrussy, with light malt playing second fiddle. Most decidedly a hoppy bier. Solidly in the medium body category, with a pleasing smoothness tongue-wise. After a few sips, I see a solid toasty malt character, with a suggestion of caramel. Soon thereafter are the hops, and lots of them! Very citrussy; I'm guessing loads of Cascades were used, along with... ? Dunno... (turns out they're Centennial, from the web...). The lupulins stick in the crevasses of the mouth and throat. A gustatory delight! Nice job, Mr Mott!
Zum Wohl!

Mary Help of Christians Academy
It was an unlikely beginning. In 1921 the beautiful 16.33 acre Muhs estate on Belmont Avenue in North Haledon was up for sale. The property had three buildings; a mansion called the "white house," a house for the workers, and a bungalow. Still protecting the future of his home and property, Mr. Muhs had serious reservations about selling to a few young Sisters and 42 rowdy orphans. Would they destroy his property? God has His ways, though, when it comes to helping those who care for his beloved youngsters -- especially those deprived of parents and other necessities of life. There was a miraculous change of heart on the owner's part, and the Muhs estate was sold to the Salesian Sisters with his blessing.
Until 1924, the girls made a daily trek to the bus stop, for a ride to St. Michael's School in Paterson. That year the Harris House, originally the house for the Muhs estate workers, was converted to classrooms and became the first school house. Mary Help of Christians School opened its doors with Sr. Mary Pash, who had come from England, as the first principal for the 76 resident and five day students. Steadily, the educative work for young girls blossomed. More Sisters and students made it imperative to think of expansion.
Don Bosco Hall was constructed in 1929. This two-story building provided room for more than 70 resident students. The good news spread and elementary grade enrollment increased. In 1933 the brand new St. Joseph's Chapel was erected, providing adequate space for the growing family to worship together. Auxilium Hall, built at the end of the 1930's, provided the necessary rooms, equipment, and lab needed for a duly accredited high school… the Sisters' next dream for the oldest of the now 83 resident and 35 day students.
The onset of World War II slowed down the process of obtaining the necessary approvals for a secondary school. The Sisters already had an affiliation with the Catholic University of America, to benefit the young Sisters in their studies. In 1939 this affiliation was extended to the orphans and eighth grade graduates, that they might pursue either a general or classical secondary education in North Haledon. By 1943 there were 33 girls in this program. The Sisters actively sought state accreditation, particularly for the sake of the graduates interested in further studies in nursing. In June of 1944 the New Jersey State Board of Education placed "Our Lady Help of Christians Boarding and Day Academy" on the list of approved private secondary schools. Those seven high school students who began as freshmen in 1940 were honored to be the first graduating class of the newly accredited high school. The school's name, corrected on the state records in August 1945, remained "Mary Help of Christians Academy."
Before long another building found its place, nestled on the estate's hillside. In 1952 Mazzarello Hall provided for a new library, typing and music rooms, a cafeteria, and a large lower level for lockers and athletic facilities. The next decade saw a sequence of shifts and adaptations in the usage of the campus buildings as the administration worked to meet the demands of a more varied curriculum and increased student activities for a growing population. Among these changes, Don Bosco Hall became the new gym and auditorium, while the upstairs remained a dormitory.
Beginning in 1961 and for about four years thereafter, forty girls and a number of Sisters arrived from Cuba where they and the Catholic faith were no longer welcome. To make room for them and the ever-growing high school, Mazzarello Hall was divided into more classrooms and the lower elementary school was phased out. Everyone soon realized that this was still not enough space as the high school population peaked at 408 in 1963-64. In 1967 the seventh and eighth grade classes closed to allow more classroom space for the high school.
June 13, 1965 saw yet another accomplishment: the blessing of Sacred Heart Hall. This split-level building housed a new gymnasium and stage, a cafeteria, music facilities, business classrooms, and a new locker section, all overlooking a leveled sports field.
In 1976 the old St. Joseph's Chapel was leveled to make room for a new spacious air-conditioned structure, still named in honor of the same benevolent saint. This beautiful chapel, situated at the heart of the campus, was built as a tribute to the courage and daring of the early missionary Sisters who planted the apostolic works of the Salesian Sisters in the USA.
The Academy earned its accreditation from the Middle States Association for Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1977. It was a proud moment for everyone when the visitors' report stated that if each "had a daughter of high school age, he/she would love to send her to Mary Help of Christians Academy."
As the 1970's drew to a close Don Bosco Hall, which had served by turns over the decades as classroom space, a gym, a dormitory, and finally a chapel, became a carpeted, tiered, acoustic auditorium/lecture hall, complete with a 235 seating capacity. 1979 marked the closing of Mary Help's resident student program. For the next eight years the only residents were a handful of "prep students" - young women discerning a religious vocation while completing their high school studies. By the time that program ended in 1988, the Academy was strictly a day high school.
In 1986, the Muir's original "white house" was razed for safety reasons. The new structure provided a residence for the Sisters, administrative offices, and meeting rooms for the many activities that made up the school's daily life.
The 1990's brought more internal changes. The dormitory on the second floor of Don Bosco Hall was reconfigured to provide a computer center, classroom, alumni office, and yearbook room. The art room in Auxilium Hall was given a new enclosure and a display area.
Three state-of-the-art science labs were built in 2001 in the existing wings of Auxilium and Mazzarello Halls. This renovation moved the Academy light years ahead with a far-reaching science curriculum designed with a view to education and industry several years down the road in terms of equipment use and college expectations of high school graduates. Brand new theology, culinary arts and fashion classrooms were established. Three computer labs were upgraded, two of which were outfitted with personal computers and one with iMAC's for the graphic arts. The modernization of the buildings (dropped ceilings, new lighting, restoration of the original wood flooring, a new fire safety system) provided a brightened and more student-friendly atmosphere to all the classrooms.
The last five years have brought great technological growth for the support of the academic programs. The Academy has fixed and portable interactive whiteboards; carts with laptop computers in the science labs, a newly updated digitally-catalogued library with ample computer stations for research and academic support; a modern TV production studio, a multimedia presentation system in the Lecture Hall and a campus-wide wired and wireless network.
Significant, as well, were the many changes which added to the quality and safety of the program: the installation of security cameras on all outside doors throughout the vast campus; the addition of two academic guidance offices in Don Bosco Hall and a personal guidance office in Sacred Heart Hall; the purchase of a mini-bus for school sports and beyond-the-classroom day trips for upper elective classes.
From the orphanage elementary school and the first years of the high school in the 1940's, the current Academy has matured a comprehensive college-prep program with advanced placement course, college-credit opportunities and specialized internships. Currently, it is in the full swing of preparations for its fourth Middle State Evaluation, examining its timely mission and projecting further improvements for the good of the young women who study here. Mary Help of Christians Academy's growth is a tribute to the Salesian Sisters, lay faculty and staff, parents and students of the past 65 years. Like their predecessors, the current student body and faculty are still looking forward envisioning new developments yet to come!

I am still getting used to the new dryer but am really missing a feature on my old dryer called Sensor dry. This new dryer is supposed to have three sensors yet when the cycle ends the clothes are still slightly damp so they sit in the bottom of the dryer and get wrinkled. Maybe I am operating it wrong? There doesn't seem to be an adjustment to the pre-sets to add minutes or make the dryer warmer to avoid this. You can use the time dry and then the time and controls are adjustable of course but then you end up running the dryer longer than you might need, thus wasting energy and overdrying is not good for your clothes.

I really enjoy the light in the drum and think this is a quality machine. Unfortunately, I don't think I know how to use it correctly. Clothes often come out with damp areas even though the dryer supposedly has a moisture sensor that senses when the clothes are dry. Also, although it has a refreshing cycle that can either be steam or dry, clothes come out much more wrinkled than the 15 year old dryer it replaced. The controls provide lots of options, but they don't remember the ones used most frequently so I have to set my preferences each time.

About Me Frequent User
I researched the product for quite some time. Got the matching washer. Could not be more pleased. Extremely quiet, the wash extra fast spin cycle helps the dryer do less work. Once done, the machine will "fluff" the load to avoid wrinkles. Nice bonus. Dryer is super fast and can dry in half the time my old dryer did. Great product!!
By Noor
from New York
Excellent features but longer drier time. Dry well and enough space
Excellent product -- would definitely buy it again
By JP95
from Monroe, NJ
We bought this for a new house because our old Duet washer and drier stayed with the old house. We loved our old ones, and we like the new ones even more. The washer capacity is very large. You can put just about anything in it, and it will actually get clean. For example, we have washed sleeping bags, which you generally can't do in a top-loader. This model has a faster spin, yet is much quieter than our older model. I like the detergent dispenser. You fill it up once every 10-12 loads and it automatically dispenses the appropriate amount of detergent.
I Love It!
By Karen815
from Cincinnati Ohio
I have been wanting a new washer and dryer for a few years now so when my dryer stopped working I was so excited because now I could get a new one. I researched many and priced them and decided on this one because of reviews and price. It wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive. I love how it dries so quickly so much faster than my old one. I ordered the set online and didn't see them in person so I was shocked at how big they are. I have a relatively small laundry room they take up a good portion of it. I wasn't sure at first if I was going to like the size but I have had them for about a month and I have gotten used to their size.
dryer better than matching washer
By Snapper152
from Chicago
Sometimes hard to set for damp-dry items, but really good with towels and other bulky items, drying the entire load on the first try. This may be an advantage of gas over electric than of special attributes of this machine.
Excellent dryer for everyday use

This dryer is very easy to use and the steam refresh features allow you to leave clothes in over night.... And then just refresh in the morning.

Best. Jacket. Ever
Gail was so helpful and patient in helping me figure out the right fit for me. In my lifetime I've owned custom made Langlitz leathers, owned Harley, Wilson's, and the gamut in between. I have never EVER owned a jacket, custom or non-custom, which fit as well as this one. These jackets are incredibly well made, cut to fit real human beings, and a true joy right out of the box. Schott NYC are everything they say they are customer service and quality are BEYOND stellar. I will continue to tell everyone I know, if they're in the market for a great leather jacket, go to Schott, and if they're looking for the most comfortable cycle jacket in the world, get a 125.

Couldn't stand to be without it
I bought this jacket for the first time about a year ago and it was the finest piece of clothing I have ever owned. (The most expensive, too, but you pay for quality.) It fit me great and I got LOTS of compliments when I wore it.
Then I went and lost 30 pounds. That was great for my health, but of course now my favorite jacket no longer fit me. I held off as long as I could, but with colder weather here, I knew I had to have a Perfecto 125 again. So today I ordered my second one. (My original, still in perfect shape, is up for sale in the Trading Post area if anyone is interested in a size 54.)
Now I will be anxiously waiting for that big box from Schott to show up on my doorstep!

Excellent Quality and Fit
I got my first Schott motorcycle jacket when I was 17 (1960s). It's still a great jacket but I've grown a little, okay, more than a little. I replaced it with a 125 and I have to say the 125 fits like a glove and the quality of the leather, stitching, snaps, and zippers are excellent. Not sure what model the Todd dude is talking about as this is perfect for riding and it already has a collar. I looked and tried a lot of jackets before purchasing a 125. Even Harley's but the quality on this is better than anything I've seen and the Harley jackets I tried were all made in China. Just can't bring myself to ride a Harley wearing a Chinese jacket.
I picked up another older one (25+ years) thats missing the liner and Schott was quick in answering my email and letting me know I can send that one to them and they will make a new liner for it at what I thing is a very reasonable cost. That's service you won't find anywhere else. If you want the best jacket out there then it's a Schott NYC.

fashion not function? not impressed...
this jacket was not what i expected from a company with such a great history. although the quality and fit is first rate(except for the loss of one of the zipper pulls.
more of a fashion statement than for serious riding jacket way too light weight. if you remove the lining not much more than a heavy shirt. i was planning on buying a collar but will probably pass...i gave this jacket four stars because of the very high quality craftsmanship and fit not weight.

Excellent Product and Service
My 125 arrived today and the quality and fit is truly excellent!!!
Schott's service was also excellent -- Jerri and Jennifer both went out of their ways to help me get the perfect fit and resolve a banking issue, and I'm truly grateful to them.
As Men's fashion editor in NYC, I can't recommend this product and company enough!!! Three thumbs up!!!

The BEST Perfecto!
I've owned a number of Perfecto-clones over the years, including jackets from Excelled, Brooks, and Wilsons, as well as older 118 and 618 Schotts.
Just received my new 125 today, and I like it better than any of those others. It fits right, it has the removeable liner which makes it much more versatile, and it doesn't have the permanently attached half-belt which is so often in the way.
The naked cowhide leather is really thick and soft, feels like much higher quality than most of those "other" jackets.
Definitely adding it to my permanent Schott collection (also have a 141, and a 184SM, both of which I love).
Thanks for continuing to produce such a high quality product!

This isn't my first Schott jacket, and the way Schott makes these jackets right here in the USA, it certainly won't be my last. The quality of this jacket is unsurpassed, and the classic style of the 125 is as timeless as the other Perfectos in the collection. When I put my new 125 on, it fits like a glove, even when it's not broken in yet! I'm looking forward to some great years ahead in my Perfecto 125. Buying this is not an expense, but an investment.

DULUTH -- A third-generation family business that opened in 1925 and became an institution in Duluth is moving to Suwanee.
Parsons Gift Shop will move from its location in Duluth Station at 2780 Buford Highway by Aug. 1 because the building's landlord sold it to a Presbyterian church from Norcross that is moving in. The store, which sells gifts, cards and ladies accessories, will move to 1500 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, about five minutes from its current location, owner Patsy Odum said.
Customer response has been "overwhelmingly positive" to the news, Odum said, and the Suwanee location is expected to open on Aug 1.
"People seem to be happy for us because they realize it's an opportunity to stay in business," she said. "Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be staying in business."
The family business, which was started by Calvin and Kate Parsons, has been a general store and hardware store. Odum's mother-in-law is Ann Parsons Odum, one of three Parsons daughters. The family opened the gift part of the business about 15 years ago, Odum said.
The original general store was in downtown Duluth, and the business also was at a location at Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road as a Hallmark gift store.
Parsons' customer base includes Duluth, Suwanee, Lawrenceville, Buford and Johns Creek, and Odum said she and her husband Carey wanted the new location to be within that market.
"There were a lot of places, but some places weren't ready, they'll be ready next spring, or if they're sitting empty, there's a reason they're sitting empty," Odum said. "We looked around a lot, and that was the best place that was closest to our already existing market."
The Suwanee location is expected to be very similar to the Duluth store. It will be about 4,000 square feet and the only difference is less storage space than the Duluth location, which has more than 5,000 square feet, Odum said.
While the move will take the Odums away from their roots in Duluth, where they live, attend church and their kids went to school, Odum said she hopes it gives the business a boost.
The closing of the hardware store coincided with the start of the economic downturn, which was challenging, Odum said.
"The hardware store has been gone for four years, so we're sitting down here in an empty shopping center; it's been hard," she said.

Burrell Guitars
Custom Fitted Guitars
In the early 1950's Leo L. Burrell, founder of Burrell Guitars, would have learned to play the guitar while still in high school, but was discouraged from the attempt because he was unwilling to accept the challenge - "Bend your wrists like this, and now bend your fingers like this!" He told his instructor friend, "I will learn to play the guitar when the guitar can conform to my shape rather than my having to conform to the shape of the guitar."
Fifty years later Burrell Guitars offers a complete line of ergonomically designed acoustic and classical models, as well as electric jazz guitars and acoustic and electric bass guitars. Burrell Guitars can be custom built in your choice of finish, body style, and neck specifications.

Assassin's Creed II outfitsTalk0
this wiki
Redirected from Assassin's Creed II Outfits
In Assassin's Creed II, the Assassin Ezio Auditore da Firenze is able to obtain four outfits. These outfits are simply capes with different colorations and, in most cases, a different emblem representing a city or family during the Renaissance. It is also possible to obtain two bonus outfits; the first, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's robes, can be unlocked for 30U from Uplay.
A second black set can be used after purchasing the Assassin's Creed II 3D mobile game, exclusive to the Verizon App Store (not the better-known Assassin's Creed II mobile game, which is available for multiple carriers) wherein the clothes become available at tailors after entering a code in the game's main menu.
Plain cape
Description: The Plain cape is purely cosmetic, and does not affect Ezio in any way. While wearing it, guards will react to him normally and his notoriety will not be affected.
Color: Brown with crimson interior.
Obtained by: Retrieving Giovanni Auditore da Firenze's Assassin outfit in the memory Family Heirloom.
Medici cape
Description: While wearing the Medici cape in Florence or Tuscany, Ezio's notoriety will remain at zero. However, the guards will still react to criminal behavior.
Color: Red with a strip of yellow, a much slimmer line of red at the bottom, and black on the interior. The symbol of the Medici family is also emblazoned at the midpoint of the cape.
Obtained by: Ezio speaking to Lorenzo de' Medici at the beginning of Sequence 6.
Venetian cape
Description: While wearing the Venetian cape in Romagna or Venice, Ezio's notoriety will remain at zero. However, the guards will still react to criminal behavior.
Color: Blue, with the addition of a black strip on the bottom, and a gold interior. The symbol of the city of Venice is placed at the midpoint of the cape.
Obtained by: Ezio attending his initiation into the Assassin Order at the end of Sequence 11.
Auditore cape
Description: While wearing this cape outside of Monteriggioni, Ezio is automatically notorious, with no way to reduce it. When he removes the cape, his notoriety returns to its previous level.
Color: Black, with crimson on the interior, and the Auditore family symbol at the midpoint of the cape.
Obtained by: Collecting and depositing all 100 feathers scattered throughout Renaissance Italy.
Note: The achievement Show Your Colors can be earned through Ezio wearing the Auditore cape in every city (with the exception of Rome), and in the Mountains region.
General appearance
Altaïr's robes
Description: Accesses Altaïr's skin from the Animus databases, though it will not affect Ezio's current equipment, armor settings or the abilities of the cape he was previously wearing. The armor actually loads the model of Altaïr, rather than just his clothing, as is visible from color of his eyes, which are lighter than Ezio's, as well as his amputated ring finger. Also, Ezio is silent when taunting enemies while wearing the robes, though in certain cutscenes, Ezio's armor replaces the outfit.
Color: Altaïr's robes from Assassin's Creed.
Obtained by: Claiming the Ubisoft Uplay award (30 points) on Uplay Win.
Bonus skin
Description: N/A
Color: Black with red detailing; sleeves remain white unless Altaïr's armor is equipped.
Obtained by: Entering a code obtained after buying the Assassin's Creed II 3D mobile game from the Verizon App Store, or it is also included in Game of the Year edition, Digital Deluxe Edition of Assassin's Creed II and in the Assassin's Creed: Ezio Trilogy.
Temporary outfits
Carnevale outfit
Worn only during Sequence 9. There are two masks with this outfit, a golden mask and a normal mask. It also has a unique black cape with gold colored designs.
Borgia Guard armor
Worn only in the memories Play Along and All Things Come To He Who Waits.
Florentine Noble attire
Worn only in the memories Boys Will Be Boys, You Should See the Other Guy, Sibling Rivalry, Nightcap, Paperboy, Petruccio's Secret, Beat a Cheat, Friend of the Family, Special Delivery and Jailbird.
- Altaïr's robes use the same character model seen during Desmond's hallucination in the Hideout, evident by the amputated finger, single visible Hidden Blade, despite the dual blades being usable, and different eye color.
- While wearing Altaïr's robes, if Ezio runs out of throwing knives, the holders are still full of them.
- If Altaïr's robes are worn when acquiring the Hidden Blade, Ezio's robes will replace them, but will switch back once Ezio tests the weapon.
- When Ezio receives the brand on his ring finger while wearing Altaïr's robes, a glitch may occur, since the model does not possess the finger.
- The Medici cape can be found in Monteriggioni's church by Desmond in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. It is one of the artifacts present in the town.
- Ezio is awarded the Auditore cape for fully renovating Rome in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Unlike in Assassin's Creed II, the cape allows Ezio to remain incognito, functioning the same as the Borgia cape.
- The Auditore cape is also worn by Mario Auditore throughout Assassin's Creed II.
- The cape worn during the Carnevale bears markings similar to the Assassin insignia.
- The Bonus skin is currently the only outfit in the entire series that has not been released later as downloadable content.

(CU Athletics) Concord's first-year head Football coach felt he had a confident team going into Saturday's WVIAC opener at the University of Charleston, even though the Mountain Lions were 0-2.
CU was coming off a loss at Elon University last week, but Justice said the Mountain Lions emerged from that setback against a Football Championship Subdivision opponent with a stronger belief in themselves.
"We came out of that game knowing that we could play 60 minutes against a very good team, on the road," Justice said earlier this week. "We have a bunch of guys who showed that they can play at a high level. If we can take that confidence into the conference season, we should be in pretty good shape."
That confidence paid off Saturday. The Mountain Lions spotted UC an early 7-3 lead, but reeled off 35 unanswered points in a 38-15 victory at UC Stadium in Charleston, WV.
The win was the first for Justice as Concord's head coach.
Junior QB Zack Grossi led the way for the Mountain Lions, completing 27 of 35 passes for 364 yards and all five of Concord's touchdowns.
Two receivers eclipsed 100 yards – Randall Hawkins caught nine passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns, and Ryan Stewart hauled in five receptions for 117 yards and two TDs.
The Mountain Lions ran 76 plays for 482 yards, while Charleston gained 300 yards on 56 plays.
Concord forced a fumble by Adrien Jenkins on Charleston's first possession, and went on a 16-play, 60-yard, 7:26 drive that ended with a 21-yard field goal by John Scritchfield and a 3-0 lead.
The Golden Eagles answered with a nine-play, 66-yard drive that finished with a 36-yard touchdown pass from Maurice Leak to John Drennen that gave UC a 7-3.
Then Grossi and the Mountain Lions offense took over.
CU took the lead for good on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Grossi to Hawkins, culminating an efficient five-play, 60-yard, 1:34 drive with 13:12 left before halftime.
The Mountain Lions added to their advantage by exploiting a botched Charleston punt late in the half. CU covered 29 yards in just 37 seconds, with Grossi finding Hawkins for a 33-yard touchdown with only :33 remaining before the break.
Concord was ahead 17-7 at halftime, and quickly added to the lead. The Mountain Lions took the 2nd half kickoff and went 64 yards on nine plays, capped by a 24-yard TD pass from Grossi to Stewart.
CU pushed the lead to 31-7 on Rashid Baker's three-yard touchdown catch with 4:25 to go in the 3rd quarter.
The Mountain Lions defense forced a three-and-out, setting up Grossi's fifth and final TD pass of the day – a 54-yard laser beam to Stewart that made the score 38-7.
Charleston closed with 38-15 early in the 4th quarter after Jordan Roberts' rushed six yards for a touchdown, and Boobie Tobler ran in a two-point conversion. But that was the end of the scoring.
Jake Lilly paced the CU defense with 12 tackles. Riyadh Richardson had nine, with Ethan Perry and Zach Gibbins adding six apiece. Gibbins and Aaron Martinez each had interceptions for the Mountain Lions.
Concord had a significant advantage in time possession – 35:14 to 24:46 – and went 7-14 on 3rd down conversions, 6-7 in the 2nd half.
Up next for CU (1-2, 1-0) is next week's Homecoming game against WVIAC foe West Virginia State. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 pm at Callaghan Stadium.

Simple and easy recipe. It's like a combination of Mac&cheesse and Pizza. Which kids love. Will make it again.
Reviewed Oct. 27, 2013
Simple, easy and very kid-friendly. It is not gourmet, but it is very good. I tried several different casseroles over the span of a couple of weeks and this was by far the favorite of my husband and children. I will keep this recipe tucked away for when I need something quick and easy yet filling.

I made it as stated. Looked good on paper but was terrible in reality.

This was really easy to put together and it was really tasty. I left the peppers out because DH and the kids don't care for them. Yummy!

Custom Language Services
Custom Language Services offers language and intercultural communications training tailored to the needs of executives, business consultants, government officials, and independents interested in honing their skills in a foreign language. We offer on-site or off-site instruction, as well as curriculum and in-house program development services.
Our Philosophy
Language for high-level professionals is unlike any other form of communication, requiring nuance, eloquence, and precision. Nations, industries, and in some cases, peoples' lives depend upon the effectiveness of this communication. Diplomats and executives who can interpret social and linguistic cues, understand the subtlety of a negotiation, and speak dynamically and with confidence in a second or third language have a considerable advantage over those who cannot. These considerations have guided the development of each of our language programs and serve as the foundation for meaningful, relevant, and stimulating program design. We understand that, for some, it is not just about learning a language; it is about using the language to make a difference in the world.
Program Description
CLS provides a unique, fully customized approach to language instruction for individuals with specific communication needs. Flexible schedules and program dates accommodate the needs of professionals. We offer instruction in English, Chinese, Arabic, French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Russian, Korean, and other less-commonly-taught languages such as Farsi, Dari, Thai and Indonesian. Our customized one-on-one and small group programs specialize in field-specific language instruction. Coursework focuses on learner-identified skill sets such as public speaking, presentation skills, formal and informal written communication skills, negotiation skills, and the language of diplomacy.
We have expanded our services to develop on-site (in-country) programs and curricula for multinational companies, as well as governmental and non-governmental organizations. Our program development offerings include needs assessment, program design, curriculum development, teacher training, and program evaluation.
Customized distance-learning programs that target specific skills set such as the English for Negotiations and English Presentation Skills are also available. These online programs can incorporate both independent online coursework (asynchronous) as well as online classroom instruction (synchronous), which can serve as useful components of a corporate or government training program.
Design your own program
- All levels
- Individualized one-on-one instruction
- Small-group instruction
- Customized curricula
- Authentic field-specific materials
- Flexible program dates, length, and intensity
- Professional, qualified instructors
- Distance-learning options
- Curriculum and in-house program development services available
Program Schedules
Customized programs can be set up in Monterey year-round and can be arranged to begin as soon as three weeks from the time an application is received, although more notice is highly recommended for summer study. Total program length (beyond a minimum of 60 hours) and scheduling are also flexible, ensuring that your program matches your needs.
Class Structure
For our Monterey programs, classes are usually arranged in two-hour blocks with a 10-minute break each hour. For the more intensive programs, you will work with a team of instructors. Classes are taught using a communicative approach to language study (unless otherwise requested) and programs are developed using a variety of techniques and media, as well as the inclusion of terminology specific to your professional field or interest area.

Move over, Kate Middleton -- Lady Mary's wedding (and dress!) in Downton Abbey's third season will have a huge impact on weddings over the next year.
Fashion: We'll see lots of long, billowy sleeves and tons of lace backs with illusion necklines all over the bridal salons this next year. Those long sleeves and lace will be accompanied by long, traditional veils, cloche veils and even pretty braided headbands. Within this trend, we're also seeing some unique uses of sheer elements in gowns. For instance, this Badgley Mischka dress has a vintage-style capelet attached, while the Jenny Packham gown has long, sheer sleeves that are beautifully beaded.
Tablescapes: Think: English-flower-garden-themed centerpieces, low and lush displays that are sophisticated and carefully arranged. Gold candelabras and lots of ornate charger plates and overlay linens will finish the look.
Food and cocktails: For dinner, traditional main courses and meats like ham, Cornish game hen and even quail are all favorites for the next year. On the drinks menu: gin cocktails and specialty liqueurs like elderflower, served up in pretty cut-crystal glassware.

Mrs. Betsy Morken, Junior High History teacher, Maranatha Christian Academy
Mrs. Morken:
Life Changer
Every year I start a new grade with new teachers, and they have never been anything but ordinary. Two years ago, when I started seventh grade, that streak changed. I started that year at a new school, and I wasn't very excited to make new friends. I've never been good at making friends, or socializing at all. Walking down the hall on the first day was somewhat uncomfortable. Some people were nice to me; some just stared. Going from class to class wasn't easy either, but going to history class made all the stress and worry disappear. It could've been her friendly smile or her helping hands, but overall it was her Christ-like spirit that gave me a warm welcome into class. She introduced herself, and told us she was glad to meet us. I actually believed her. From that day on, I knew she wasn't like the all other teachers.
Every day after that, I always looked forward to history class. She actually made the classes fun and educational at the same time (I didn't think that was possible). She always made me laugh by all of her witty remarks.
Another thing that made her such an amazing and fun person is that she was in charge of the junior high drama department. Drama is a big part of my life, so you could see how I would be excited. She was just as amazing a director as she was a teacher, mostly because she always encouraged us and never yelled or insulted us. I had never had a director that has given me so much confidence about my acting as well as about myself. She truly believed everyone was talented and was a gift from God.
Last year, my eighth grade year, I continued having her as a teacher. That year was one of the hardest years of my life because of friendships, bullies, etc. Through all of it, I knew that I could go to her if I needed advice or someone to talk to. She made it very clear to me that I could come to her anytime and that I could put my trust in her. It seemed like she always had the words to say when I did come to her, and she would pray for me right there.
In the years I had her as a teacher she had made a major impact on my life. She truly inspired me to try my best on everything, and to rely on God and trust him through anything. I still see her every once in a while in the hallways, and every time I do I suddenly turn happy. Seeing her reminds me that I am loved. That is one thing I now know for a fact.
As you read this, I hope you realize that Mrs. Morken should be the one to win this award. She truly deserves it, as you can see.. Another reason she should get it though is because I am 100% sure she will be very humble about it. She is honestly the most humble person I know, along with all the other traits I've mentioned. Mrs. Morken has changed my life forever, and I hope this story can change yours too.
