Committee Chair: Sandra Masur, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
"WICB" began in the early 1970s as a group of women cell biologists, sensitized by the women's movement of the time, who began to notice the underrepresentation of women in academia in general and cell biology in particular. A mimeographed newsletter began circulating, and ad hoc meetings were held at ASCB meetings, with notices posted in women's washrooms. Two engaging histories of the WICB pioneers and their adventures have been written by Laura Williams, in the August and October 1996 ASCB Newsletters. In 1992, the ASCB Council invited WICB to become a standing committee of the ASCB, and its by-then traditional activities at the Annual Meetings have continued apace.
In addition to its presence at the Annual Meeting, WICB is also poised year-round to provide career support and advice. We respond to reports of discriminatory practices, offer a speaker referral service to help program organizers identify women speakers, and produce monthly columns for the ASCB Newsletter.
Perusal of these columns provides an excellent overview of the WICB mandate, which is to consider and nurture the human side of being a cell biologist. Two collections of WICB columns, called Career Advice for Life Scientists, have been published Volumes I &II, and Volume III. Another publication of WICB is Life Sciences Research and Teaching: Strategies for a Successful Job Hunt. These are all available as downloadable ASCB publications or you can order a hard copy for a small shipping fee.
This website is geared to serve as a resource for women and men at all stages in their scientific trajectories. We would very much appreciate any feedback on its virtues and shortcomings. If you encounter any articles, images, or links that you think would be appropriate for the site, please forward them to the WICB chair.
Apply to become a WICB Associate to help with WICB's various Annual Meeting activities and year-round initiatives.

Big East Tournament News
New Teams, Same Familiar Venue Ahead for 2014 Big East Tournament
Undergoing one of the most extensive conference realignments of all, the new Big East for 2014 includes Butler, Creighton, DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, Villanova, and Xavier. Equipped with just 10 member schools now allowed this year's edition of the conference tournament to drop down to four days instead of five, and will run from March 12-15. Despite all the changes, the Big East Tournament will once again take place at New York's famed Madison Square Garden, where it has been held since 1983. In the final year of the old conference, the Louisville Cardinals ended their time in the Big East with back-to-back tournament titles. With the exception of Marquette and DePaul, all of the current schools (Georgetown, St. John's, Seton Hall, Providence, Villanova) that also were members of the old Big East have won the tournament on at least one occasion in its history.
While some programs have had little problem adjusting to a new crop of opponents, others have experienced some growing pains along the way, though all bets are off once the Big East Tournament rolls around. As of Jan. 21, the one-loss Creighton Bluejays, Villanova Wildcats, and Xavier Musketeers lead the pack in the conference standings, though just Villanova (No. 4) is ranked in the AP Top 25.

Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011
How will the winner of the Reinhard Mohn Prize 2011 be selected?
The €150,000 prize will be awarded to a governmental institution which, on its own or in collaboration with a non-governmental actor, has carried out successful activities designed to achieve the following: vitalizing democracy, integrating underrepresented groups into the political process, and establishing new democratic approaches to problem-solving by strengthening political participation. The activities must be adaptable to the German context, as the Bertelsmann Stiftung will be drawing on these examples of international best practice as inspiration for possible future projects in Germany.
The search for the prize winner is global and involves wide-scale input from the public. People from all around the world were invited to visit http://www.vitalizing-democracy.org/ to propose, discuss and evaluate suitable projects. Proposals could be submitted through the aforementioned website until August 22, 2010.
After the deadline, 20 projects were selected for closer evaluation. Both the selection criteria and the public evaluation of submissions were transparent. A working committee comprising members from all domains of society in Germany nominated seven finalists in October 2010. In March 2011, some 11.600 representatively selected individuals were invited to choose the winner of the 2011 Reinhard Mohn Prize. The 2011 Reinhard Mohn Prize was presented at an award ceremony in June 2011 in Gütersloh, Germany.

Yo man there is a rager pool party happening tonight at TA's

Person 1: I heard Mr. Rager is on his way to heaven!
Person 2: Sweet sassy mollassy!
Person 2: Sweet sassy mollassy!
by nigopolous November 04, 2010
A term used in the midwest to describe someone who is basically both a hippie and a raver, almost always a dealer of extremely hard to find psychedelics, wears a wrap, loves dubstep and bassnectar and also goes to schwagstock and carbondale alot, and is more than likely a member of the grateful dead family, but also hits up the warehouse party, but only when there's a suitable amount of dubstep. This person can get you the absolute best molly and shrooms in the world, but don't trust the "mescaline" or "rc's", and definitely don't trust the L or deemster unless you know for a fact that this person is down with the super heady business.
Person 1: Don't trust those ragers over there.
Person 2: What kind of god thought hippie-raver hybrid was a good idea anyway?
Person 3: Dude, that rager just hooked me up with some 4-Aco-Mipt. Wicked!

Clementi: Piano Sonatas, Vol. 5
2CDs for the price of 1CDA67814
Movement 1: Allegro
Movement 2: Allegretto vivace
Movement 3: Finale: Presto
The three finales in this set are all good-natured rondos, with the sort of home-spun rhythmically regular themes associated with this form. The reviewer for the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, a leading German musical journal, commented:
The one thing, in our opinion, that could be criticized in these sonatas is the indulgence in a mannerism that has recently become the fashion in England: the imitation of bagpipes—which, as we know, is the favourite and almost the only instrument of the Scots. Haydn too, in one of the most recent of his symphonies composed in London, has taken up this sort of burlesque. But such things should be introduced very cautiously, and (more importantly) very seldom. In this connection we may take note particularly of the third movement of the third sonata; it contrasts peculiarly with the beautiful preceding Allegretto …
This critic was put off by the 32-bar main theme of the rondo of the third sonata, all over an unmovable tonic D in the bass. But here Clementi aimed for a very special effect: he marked those 32 bars 'open pedal', such that the tonic chord, together with hugely dissonant sounds, are all enveloped in an atmospheric haze—one of the more successful, surely, of his experiments with this kind of texture. During the following decade Beethoven repeatedly indicated a similar use of the pedal, as in the 'Moonlight', 'Tempest', and 'Waldstein' sonatas, and in the Third Piano Concerto.

Nitro Touring Car Racing at its Finest
The HB R10 is the latest kit from the minds at HB-HPI to enter the exciting and fast world of 1/10th scale on-road touring car racing! This time, we're diving into the nitro end of the racing arena, with a unique, high-spec nitro touring car kit that is sure to amaze nitro racing fans! Top-level nitro touring cars are a completely different type of racing class compared to electric touring cars - you can't just add an engine to any touring car design be off to the races. Properly designing and testing a car takes months, even years, and the standard of materials and design has to be at the highest level - at over 60mph, even on smaller tracks, every componenent has to serve a purpose and be designed to perform! That's why only the best materials went into the R10: titanium, aircraft aluminium, carbon graphite, top-grade composites and more. The R10 is built from the ground up to perform, and to win. Experience the thrill of nitro racing with a World Championship racing team!
Total ControlLike every HB racing kit, the R10 allows you to set and refine every possible adjustment on the chassis. You can tune such parameters as roll center, front and rear arm toe, camber, caster and more. You can fine-tune the chassis roll front and rear with sway bars at each end, and the robust pivot-ball suspension gives you precise control of the camber and rear toe with a quick twist of a hex wrench.
The R10 chassis is CNC machined from aircraft aluminium, and is designed to be extra-narrow, which prevents any rubbing while cornering, which can upset the car when you're going for that perfect lap. Woven graphite of the highest possible quality is used for the upper deck/radio tray and all the stiffeners and supports throughout the car. Thick woven graphite is utilized for the front and rear shock towers for extra crash protection so you can finish the race instead of worrying about damage to the car. The bulkheads, pivot blocks and spacers are all constructed from top quality aluminium and anodized a bright orange. The easily removeable fuel tank sits in the exact center of the chassis, with the battery pack positioned underneath for a completely centralized weight balance. To help lower the CG even further, the servo positioning places them flat on the main chassis for fast weight transfer and superior cornering speeds. The engine mount is a multi-piece unit, allowing both OS and Novarossi style engines to fit straight on. Performing engine swaps and maintenance is simple and easy - the multi-piece mount lets you change engines without having to set the gear mesh each time. An extra-thick foam bumper sandwiched between stiff plastic supports protects the front end of the car, and a carrying handle will help your pit crew make lightning-fast fuel stops!
Being a completely new car design, the R10 consists of all-new parts, but that doesn't mean it ignores design conventions for the sake of being new and different. The R10 uses proven racing suspension design to give racers of all skill levels all of the tuning capability they want, and without the bother of complex and hard to understand race car suspension theory. The front camber is set by an extremely solid 'pivot ball' design, which gives you infinite control over the track width of the car as well. Simply insert a hex wrench through the wheels and you can do a fast setup change - no turnbuckles necessary. The front caster is set by moving the upper suspension arm forward and backward on a solid hinge pin, giving you precise control of the steering into and out of corners. The rear track and rear is controlled with the same extra-sturdy pivot balls, while the rear camber is set with titanium turnbuckles. The shocks are a normal oil-filled, coil-over design, with threaded bodies and threaded top and bottom caps. The shock bodies are coated with super-slick PTFE for near-frictionless movement of the piston, giving you effortless and smooth suspension movement. Controlling the chassis roll at each end of the car are adjustable sway bars - a blade-style sway bar in the front and a conventional bearing-supported bar style sway bar in the rear.
The drivetrain is fully equipped with lightweight, hardened aluminium pulleys for low friction, decreased rotating mass and long life. The pulleys are also anodized a cool gunmetal color in a great example of attention to detail.
A critical component of any on-road nitro racing car is the 2-speed transmission, and complete attention has been paid to this area of the R10. Using 0.08 Module gears for smaller gear teeth allows lower rotational mass and increased gear life.
A Proven World-Class Racing Car
IFMAR World Champion TQ and 2nd, 4th and 10th Place!

Just a couple quick notes I wanted to add.
-The video (25m) recommends biting a melee dps first so that she doesn't jump across the room and waste dps time. However, in our experience biting the top range dps is a better option, since they can dps her while she is in the air, and this more than makes up the difference in lost dps time.
-On 25m, as the raid leader you should make one tank/healer group, and then have 4 groups of dps to simplify the biting order (2 melee groups and 2 range groups). Put your top 4 dps as the group leaders, and those are the first 4 to get bit. Those people then bite the next person in their group, and this keeps everyone somewhat organized. Also, with 4 groups you can assign 4 "meeting spots," i.e. on the 4 sides of the circle in the center of the room. This is good in that it makes both the people biting and getting bit move to pre-assigned spots and lowers the amount of chaos going on.

Core Infinite Crisis Universes
PRIME (EARTH-0) – Home to legends like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, this universe is where hundreds of heroes and villains originate. Universe Prime, also known as Earth-0, is the keystone upon which the Multiverse rests, and so the Monitor has great interest in maximizing the fighting potential of its populace to better defend it from extra-dimensional threats.
ARCANE (EARTH-13) – The Shadow League, a cabal of twisted sorcerers, lusted for absolute rule over Earth. Blinded by ambition, they performed a ritual that extinguished the Sun. With eternal night blanketing the Earth, the world's most powerful magicians united to reignite the Sun, but its new arcane heart forever altered life on Earth. Heroes and villains have since adapted to their magically infused environment, developing strange new abilities.
ATOMIC (EARTH-17) – As the Cold War was brewing between the world's superpowers, a mysterious object from space crashed into Kansas. Mistaking the crash for a first strike, the United States unleashed its full nuclear arsenal against the Soviet Union, who retaliated. The ensuing nuclear war instantly vaporized 97% of all life Earth. The survivors hope the Earth can be healed, but the nuclear aftermath has left them with scars that never will.
GASLIGHT (EARTH-19) – The Victorian era has swept the Earth and a prosperous Age of Invention has revolutionized society through powerful steam technology, and this amazing progress is only the beginning. Heroes and villains have begun to emerge from all corners of society, and with them bring new sources of power and problems far stranger than steam and gas lights.
NIGHTMARE (EARTH-43) – Tales of horrors prowling the night were once just legends on this Earth – until the darkness returned. Ancient and terrible powers beyond comprehension awoke and brought with them an army of monsters. In fighting these creatures, some heroes have fallen, twisting into monsters themselves.

Infinite Crisis – First Look
Infinite Crisis Open Beta Review
By Remko Molenaar (Proxzor)
Have you ever wanted to play as your favorite superhero? Happen to be too swept up in the MOBA craze to dedicate the time to games like DCUO? Then Infinite Crisis might be the game you should delve into. In this free to play MOBA game, your favorite superheroes from the DC Comics are featured and then twisted in ways only the minds behind the Infinite Crisis arc could have imagined. Play Batman, Superman or perhaps a villain like the Joker in a frantic battle unlike any other.
I am just going to say it right off the bat, Infinite Crisis is a game that tries to get people to play this game by using characters many people including non-gamers are familiar with. And I am not saying this to sound negative about the game, but the marketing behind it is sound. Getting more gamers reading comics and more comic readers gaming is a good venture in my view. If you are unfamiliar to the MOBA genre, let me give you a brief explanation on how a MOBA game usually works.
In a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) you take the role of a hero, and together with other people in your team you will have to work together to either destroy or capture objectives while trying to crush the opposing team whenever they get in your way. The concept of the game is fairly simple and anyone can learn and play it in only a matter of minutes. The heroes you play as each have a special set of tools and skills that you can use to gain various attacks, cc, or movement buffs, to oversimplify it. For each kill, minion kill, or objective destroyed or capture you will earn money. With this money you will be able to buy items, and with these items your hero will get stronger. If you haven't been living under an e-stone for the past few years, you should definitely be familiar with this genre, since it is the most successful genre at the moment.
Since Infinite Crisis spins around villains and heroes, you should know what some of these characters can do, especially since the team behind this game tried to make these characters feel as real to the comics as possible. Everyone has 5 abilities and 4 of them are usually abilities that you can use that have some sort of special power. And I think Infinite Crisis captures these individual personas through visuals and skill sets that paint an overall picture showcasing their personal missions. Take for example the Joker. Straight off the bat you know that this is a champion that likes to fool around and trick people with vicious surprises. And his skills portray his personality well, particularly his signature delayed exploding present attack that goes off when enemies near its proximity. To avoid getting so serious, there's a hefty bit of humor involved in Infinite Crisis to keep the skills feeling comical without disregarding the comics. And it feels to hit the middle mark right between what gamers and comic fans would expect.
Currently there are three available maps that you can play on. On each one of these maps there are objects like cars that you as a hero can pick up and throw around. Since you are a champion you can use your heroic and villainous powers to cause real destruction to the world you are playing in, and you can tear down whole structures trying to bring down your enemies. I must admit that as a MOBA fan I was a little bit shocked to see the enemy Flash pick up a car, and throw it over towards me while I was just trying to focus on do my thing, i.e. killing him. The sheer destructive force of battles immerses you in the realm of the superhero fights we've all read and watched growing up, and separates this MOBA from others on the market.
Besides knowing your surroundings, and knowing who you are fighting against the most important thing is to know your champion. You will want to build him in the correct way with the money you earned from minions that are also known as drones. The items in Infinite Crisis are called artifacts, and there are three sorts of artifacts: Attack, Health and Power. Different artifacts scale better with different hero types, so some research is required to get the most out of each new hero or villain you pick up. Players not wanting to put in said time though can still get by decently with the recommended item list though.
Besides the destructible nature of the maps, the three modes available in Infinite Crisis stand out as rather unique. While the goal of eliminating enemies and gathering gold as fast as you can remain the focus, the way it plays out changes quite a bit.
Gotham Divided
This map stands as that good bit of 'comfort food' to put more experienced moba players at ease. It consists of the usual three lanes plus "urban jungle" that you will have to duke it out with against the enemy team. In each one of these lanes you will find towers, these towers are your guardian angels in the early levels of the game that help prevent either side from getting bullied to harshly. Just like in other mobas, destroying them is key as they offer a hefty gold boost to your team. Each lane spawns endless waves of drones that push lanes and offer a source of income when not killing other heroes. Money buys you artifacts. It's as simple as that. Between all the zones you will find the famous jungle, a neutral area filled with monsters offering income on a set respawn timer. Eventually one team will push all the way down a lane and destroy the Power Core to end the match.
Gotham Heights
If you are familiar with the map Dominion on League of Legends, then I do not need to explain Gotham Heights any further. This stands as the premier mode first revealed in Infinite Crisis though so it receives a bit more love in comparison to Dominion mode. In Gotham Heights you will find yourself on a big circle, with five different capture points scattered on the outer ring. In this map you will have to capture more than half the control points to earn more points than your enemy, simple as that. Gotham Heights essentially plays out as more of a team deathmatch, with group fights happening early and often. Smart players can turn the tides in their favor by utilizing various item pick-ups scattered around the arena such as health packs, speed boosts, and even special jungle monsters that drop buffs when defeated. Most of the map is clear of fog of war, but you can still set up ambushes by utilizing the shadowy central parts of the ring. Holding more capture points than your opponent will tick points away from their team score until one team runs out and is defeated.
Coast City Marina
This map is really interesting, and probably the most original map Infinite Crisis offers. Basically the map is a pentagon with two lanes; the make-up of each lane works akin to Gotham Divided in terms of turret placement and minion spawn. The jungle sets itself apart as a vast space between the lanes, ensuring roaming between lanes is a more costly and time consuming process. Beyond this, the possibility is there to have more than one dedicated jungler as there's simply too much there for a single player to deal with effectively. This map is ideal for players that just want to focus on outplaying their laning opponent in a head to head battle as jungle ganking occurs less frequently here than any other mode. I personally didn't enjoy this map as much since it took a lot of the rewards for map awareness and team coordination out of the genre, but that may just be from having too much experience on smaller moba maps to adjust my expectations.
The map overall finds cohesiveness when the Dooms Day Device activates, a central turret that forces players to come together for an epic team fight to acquire a type of satellite laser that can blast a huge area clear of any enemy players. It's ideal for pushing heavily defended turtling foes out of lane long enough to take an objective, just hope that whoever on your team gets the device know what they are doing as it can easily be wasted.
Conclusion: Good
Playing as your favorite recognizable hero or villain added a new level of immersion to the moba genre I haven't experienced elsewhere. Since playing as a character you are familiar with, you really get the 'I am a hero' feeling and want to show the enemy your special powers. But besides that Infinite Crisis tries to be even more different than many other MOBA games. But with the introduction of alternate reality heroes, roughly resembling the standard heroes but with unique steampunk and radioactive twists, the game not only expanded my knowledge of the DC Universe, but made me want to read more about these otherworldly versions of Batman and the Joker.
The more dynamic maps with fully destructible environments added new tactics that even a veteran moba player like myself was unable to immediately master. There's certainly new strategies and ways of thinking about ganking here that should give that bit of "wow" factor to those bored with their current static moba. Unfortunately the game hasn't caught on much in Europe, and my servers were a bit empty. This resulted in long queue times that could be a bit frustrating when I just wanted a fast match during short breaks. But if you don't mind waiting a bit longer, and enjoy playing as a super hero or villain, you should definitely check out Infinite Crisis.

His first task was to reconcile conflicting rhythms—since the mazurka is in triple time, as opposed to the duple of Tatra dances—and did so by employing a drastic rhythmic liberty to obscure the symmetrical phrases of the mazurka, using dotted notes, spreading rhythmic patterns over the barline, avoiding predictable dynamic stress. No 11 uses five-bar phrases, and No 16 has phrases seven bars in length. At the other extreme, No 8 constructs its phrases from single-bar cells.
The larger structures are unpredictable, too. Eight of the Mazurkas (Nos 4, 5, 8, 11, 13, 16, 17 and 19) are in a straightforward ternary form, plus coda. Nos 2, 7, 9 and 12 are rondos. And No 11 is a set of variations.
Szymanowski's melodic style in the Op 50 Mazurkas is both highly distinctive and infinitely malleable. The sharpened fourths and flattened sevenths typical of Góral music can be found in the 'Sabala' motive quoted in Mazurka No 1 and they persist throughout the set. Occasionally (as in No 2) Szymanowski writes pentatonic figures that allude to the folk-music of central Poland; No 12 uses a shape found in the Mazowsze plain around Warsaw. He can vary scales, as in No 5. And No 17 exhibits a typical Szymanowskian practice of answering a rising melodic shape with a falling one. Decoration is another persistent feature, with mordents suggesting the improvisatory approach of the folk-musician.
Another prominent folk-element is the use of a drone fifth, suggesting the dudy, or bagpipes, of the Góral musicians. Szymanowski deploys it imaginatively, lightly in Nos 1 and 11, as a martellato single note in Nos 12 and 18, and with a second fifth drone, a ninth higher than the first, in Nos 4 and 10. He can present two separate melodic strands in different keys or tonal areas: No 3 throws C sharp major/minor and A minor against each other, and No 20 does the same with C major and D major. Sometimes he avoids key areas altogether: the whole-tone No 9 settles on E flat only in its final moments, and the highly chromatic No 19 does not make even that reluctant compromise.

Gas utilities and state commissions must work together to help preserve rates of return, encourage conservation, and lower customers' bills.
Standard-Offer Service: Beauty or Beast?
the value of pipeline and storage-capacity contracts (including participation in capacity-release markets).
The mechanism (referred to as market-based rates or MBR) provides BGE with economic incentives to acquire gas supplies at the lowest possible risk-adjusted price. BGE shares 50 percent of the net benefits if the actual cost of gas is less than the market-based benchmark; alternatively there is also the risk that BGE stockholders will absorb half of the excess costs should the actual gas costs exceed the benchmark. In addition to the above sharing mechanism, BGE has a financial incentive to pursue capacity release and off-system sales opportunities. From 1996 (beginning of the MBR mechanism) through the end of 2007, MBR customers have saved about $63.6 million (their 50 percent portion of the savings) versus what they would have paid for the gas at Index. This covers flowing, storage, LNG and hedging savings, but does not include additional savings from off-system sales or capacity-release credits.
The gas commodity price that BGE charges its customers also includes adders to reflect administrative costs for commodity billing, credit and collections and uncollectibles. To the extent BGE's gas-commodity price reflects current market conditions and applicable administrative costs, this sends the right price signal to both customers and alternative suppliers and, in that sense, reduces barriers to entry for suppliers. However, to the extent that BGE is highly successful at acquiring gas supplies at the best possible risk-adjusted price, this creates a challenge to suppliers not only to be efficient in pricing their product, but also to bundle their commodity supply with other value-added services.
The sale of electricity by BGE as a standard-offer service is determined by a procedure that establishes electricity prices based on a structured bidding process for electricity supply. The PSC approved an initial settlement establishing the local distribution utilities as the providers of last resort (POLR) in Maryland on April 29, 2003. The price to customers is based on a formula that includes: 1) the price the utility pays to wholesale suppliers for full-requirements generation service; 2) costs the utility incurs for network-integration transmission service and other transmission-related costs; 3) taxes; plus 4) an administrative charge that includes an adder to reflect the incremental costs of providing standard-offer service, including uncollectibles and a fixed per-kilowatt hour return to the utility. The overall structure requires that prices reflect market costs plus administrative costs and the utilities recover all costs and bear no market risks.
As wholesale prices have risen substantially in the last several years, the Maryland PSC has initiated proceedings, partially in response to legislative requirements, to examine a broad range of issues concerning electric-supply acquisition. While the LDC is charged with administering the bid process under the supervision of the commission, ultimately it is the competitive wholesale suppliers who must manage risks, develop supply portfolios and implement hedging strategies in order to participate in the bidding process in a profitable and efficient manner.
Best-Price Electricity
The Maryland PSC has instituted several proceedings to seek input on what changes, if any, need to be made to establish a competitive process

I purchased this dress to wear to my daughter's wedding. I'm very happy with it. Again, needed to size-up. Beautiful and very comfortable.
I have shopped at Overstock.com before and have always been satisfied with my purchases. Now I needed a dressy dress for a wedding and thought Overstock.com would have something for me, and they did. Many dresses are offered and I found one that suited my taste. Delivery time was very fast. When I opened the package I was totally pleased with the color of this dress. I wanted a jewel tone color and the Teal is just that. I tried the dress on and was pleased with the way it fit me, being 5'6" at 160Lb a size 12 is perfect! The dress being sleeveless with a high back and with a 3/4 length sleeve jacket is just perfect. I'm so glad I shopped at Overstock.com and won't hesitate to shop here again. Today I received a call from Overstock.com customer service about my inquiry if I needed to return for another size and I was happy to report that the dress had already arrived and was just perfect. Thank you Overstock.com!
the dress is beautiful! the color is very deep. material seems very high quality.
Ordered this dress for a wedding and it was perfect. I'm older but don't want to dress like I'm 100. I also don't want to look like I'm trying to be 20. This dress (with the jacket) was great. Mine is the teal color.
beautiful dress but did not fit. Would be perfect to wear to a wedding.
I had to return and reorder a bigger size. The dress ran a little small, but now that I have the proper size it is a lovely dress. I will wear the red one for the holiday party this year.
Dress is beautiful! Am wearing it as a step-mother of the bride dress. I have ordered 2 different colors & will make a final decision on which am wearing when I get the 2nd dress, I didn't order both at the same time! I ordered teal & eggplant, the teal is beautiful it is more green than blue. waiting on the eggplant! fits great & very comfortable with just the right amount of sparkle!
The dress was beyond my expectation. It was worn for a wedding and received so very many compliments, even by a four year old. The dress is very comfortable, of good quality, and priced well. I tripped over "Overstock.com" while searching on line, and will be back when I have a need. Thank you so much.
My dress was delivered in a box. When I opened it the dress was on a hanger with a plastic cover. I was very impressed. The color is beautiful. The quality was more than I expected. I bought this dress to wear to a Christmas party this year, I like to buy ahead. The fit was good, I probably could have gotten a 12, but I was afraid it might be a little too snug, however it is very comfortable. I love the selections that Overstock has available.
Was not real impressed with the quality of the garment. It was also much more sparkly than expected.

We love Serena van der Woodson. Almost as much as we love Blake Lively. But now it seems like our loyalties don't have to be tested - they're the same person. Well, kinda. According to creator and producer of Gossip Girl Josh Schwartz the reason Blake decided to take part in the show in lieu of a college education was... the designer clothes! 'I remember talking to her about that. She was like "Wait, so you're asking me to move to New York and wear the most incredible clothes, some of which you might actually let me keep?" So I think the wardrobe-reinvention carrot was stronger than the college-degree carrot,' he revealed. As for Blake's view herself? 'I probably have, like, 60 gorgeous bags. I have a closet with my really sharp, fancy, nice ones - the ones that go with my Valentino pumps, for example. And then I have a closet with the ones that are a little more rugged-feeling, the kinds that go with my Belstaff motorcycle boots.' Upper-East side princess Serena meets down-town edgy Dan/Penn-loving Blake. We love. Oh - and her real life brother's called Eric too. Bonus![WMagazine]
Blake Lively IS Serena van der Woodson

Scotland's Treasures
Discover Scotland's Highlands, the legacy of its clans, and the historic treasures of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Tour Details
- Insights from the West of Ireland
- Fabulous shots from Smithsonian Journeys Expert Kirt Kempter
- Visiting Mount Fuji, by way of rural Japan
- Saturday in Pamplona
This tour is specially designed for a small group of 16 to 24 Smithsonian travelers and offers outstanding travel value. Prices include airfare, airline taxes, fuel surcharges, and departure fees.
Discover Scotland's enduring appeal as you enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the Highlands, learn about the legacy of its clans, and explore historic treasures of Glasgow and Edinburgh. View Glasgow's unique 19th-and 20th-century architecture and take a private curator-led tour of Pollok House, ancestral home of the Maxwell clan. Then set off for the Scottish Highlands, stopping first at Loch Lomond, Scotland's largest lake and part of Trossachs National Park. Visit historic Glencoe, a haven for both artists and adventurers, and enjoy a full-day excursion to the Isle of Skye, the largest of Scotland's Inner Hebrides and known for its strong Gaelic influence.
Drive along Loch Ness on your way to the quaint Highland village of Brora and explore the evocative ruins of Urquhart Castle, historic Culloden Moor, and medieval St. Andrews. Conclude in the stately city of Edinburgh to enjoy tours of the 18th-century Georgian "New Town" and the medieval "Old Town," including Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace.
Days 1 & 2 — Depart the U.S. for Glasgow, Scotland
Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and enjoy the afternoon at leisure. Late this afternoon gather for a briefing on the journey ahead. Then enjoy a welcome dinner at the National Piping Center or a well-appointed Corinthian Club. (D)
Day 3 — Glasgow
This morning's city tour highlights "Glasgow Style," the city's distinct architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Among the stand-out buildings are the Glasgow Central Station, the Royal Exchange, Glasgow City Chambers, and Glasgow School of Art by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Also visit Sir John W. Simpson's immensely popular Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Following the city tour visit Pollok House, ancestral home of the Maxwell clan and now a museum with superb Spanish art. Also take a private curator-guided tour of the Edwardian country house and enjoy lunch in the award-winning restaurant. Explore the new Zaha Hadid-designed Riverside Museum before returning to your hotel. (B,L)
Day 4 — Loch Lomond, Glencoe, Fort William
Leave Glasgow this morning bound for the scenic Highlands, Scotland's sparsely populated historic northern region. Along the way visit delightful Geilston Garden, a historic and typical garden of a small country estate in the 18th and 19th centuries. Stop at the banks of Loch Lomond, Great Britain's largest lake and part of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Sir Walter Scott's description of The Trossachs still rings true today: "So wondrous wild, the whole might seem/the scenery of a fairy dream." Enjoy a brief cruise on the island-dotted loch before continuing to Glencoe. With deep valleys flanked by steep-sided mountains, rushing rivers, and dramatic waterfalls, Glencoe attracts both artists and adventurers to admire and enjoy its natural beauty. It also offers a stark lesson in Highlands history as site of the Glencoe Massacre in 1692, when some 38 members of the Clan MacDonald of Glencoe were killed over questions about their loyalty to the Protestant king, William III. Then travel to Fort William, the Highlands' second largest settlement, arriving late this afternoon. Dinner tonight is at the hotel. (B,D)
Day 5 — Isle of Skye
Embark on a full-day excursion to the Isle of Skye, the largest of Scotland's Inner Hebrides known for its vivid history and stunning scenery. En route, visit Glenfinnan Monument honoring "Bonnie Prince Charlie" for his leadership in leading the Jacobite Rising in 1745. Board a ferry for Armadale on the southern tip of Isle of Skye, then set out on a scenic drive through the imposing Cuillin Hills (or "Black Cuillin") to the fishing town of Portree. Enjoy lunch at a local pub then continue your tour of the island known for its strong Gaelic influence. Return to the mainland via the Skye Bridge. (B,L,D)
Day 6 — Loch Ness, Culloden Moor, Brora
Depart today for the Highlands, stopping en route at fabled Loch Ness. Drive the full 23-mile length of the lake best known for the other-worldly creature alleged to live in its deep waters, and visit the ruins of lakeside Urquhart Castle, one of Scotland's most popular attractions. Dating to at least the 13th century, the castle sits surrounded by water on three sides, giving it a formidable advantage in battle. Then travel to Culloden Moor, site of the last battle of the Jacobite Rising in 1746. Learn about the battle, and its aftermath, on your private tour of the hallowed grounds. Early this evening arrive in Brora, a quaint Highlands village. (B,D)
Day 7 — Brora and Highlands
Encounter more of the Highlands today, as you travel along the Pictish Trail, sites connected with the late Iron Age/early Medieval Celtic people who once lived here. Learn about the ancient Picts at the acclaimed Tarbat Discovery Center, featuring excavated relics from the region. Then visit striking Dunrobin Castle & Gardens, where you see a falconry demonstration. Drive along the scenic coastal road flanked by small farms with sheep, cows, and Shetland ponies. Late afternoon return to your hotel, where you dine tonight. (B,D)
Day 8 — Inverness, Kincraig, Pitlochry, Dundee
Today's first stop is Kincraig, where you watch a sheepdog demonstration with working Border Collies, known for their herding abilities. Travel on to the holiday town of Pitlochry in the heart of Scotland, where you enjoy some free time before this afternoon's visit to a small local distillery where a unique single malt is handcrafted – just as it has been made for 150 years. (B,D)
Day 9 — Dundee, St. Andrews, Edinburgh
Enjoy a full day of touring and activities as you travel to Edinburgh, the Scottish capital. Continue on to St. Andrews, home of Scotland's oldest university and renowned as the home of golf. Here embark on a tour of the charming seaside town followed by a traditional pub lunch. Enjoy some free time to explore the medieval town independently before resuming the journey to Edinburgh, arriving late this afternoon. Dinner tonight is on your own in this stylish European capital. (B,L)
Day 10 — Edinburgh
A morning tour of this stately city includes the 18th-century Georgian "New Town" and the medieval "Old Town," where you visit Edinburgh Castle, symbolic heart of the country. This afternoon is at leisure to discover Edinburgh as you wish; museums, galleries, and shops abound. (B)
Day 11 — Edinburgh
This morning explore the Royal Mile, the historic boulevard connecting Edinburgh Castle with the Palace of Holyrood House. Tour Holyrood and see where British royalty schemed and slept as you tour the State Apartments. The remainder of the day is free for independent exploration. Tonight celebrate your sojourn over a farewell dinner at a local restaurant. (B,D)
Day 12 — Depart for the U.S.
Transfer this morning to the airport for return flights to the U.S. (B)

Meera Pal, wtop.com
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - From the carpet and walls to the chairs and tables, almost every aspect of Walker's Grille restaurant was designed with an eye to efficiency and sustainability.
It is the owners' attention to detail that recently earned the restaurant, in Alexandria's Franconia neighborhood, LEED Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
In fact, Walker's Grille has the distinction of being the only restaurant to receive LEED certification in the state of Virginia.
LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a rating system for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
According to the USGBC website, "LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health."
While more and more homes, corporate offices and buildings are being designed to meet LEED requirements, finding a restaurant that takes the time and financial commitment to do so is unusual.
"I think with the restaurant industry, specifically, it's been a challenge," says Michael Babcock, chairman of the USGBC National Capital Region chapter.
"When you start to see thinner margins, you start to see a reluctance to invest a little more effort and time. You don't see it that often in restaurants," he says.
Walker's Grill co-owner Jason Musleh says after the landlord suggested he and his partner pursue LEED certification, they decided it fit perfectly with the history of the property and the restaurant's concept.
The property, off Beulah Street in a corporate park, is the site of landmarks that pre-date the Civil War. The Walker family -- among the first black landowners in the area -- owned the property where the restaurant now stands. The restaurant name is an homage to the family.
"We knew we wanted to do a green concept," Musleh says. "We felt it would tie in with (the property) being farmland in the past and the whole farm-to-table cliche."
Last month, the restaurant celebrated its one-year anniversary and was awarded the LEED Gold certification in a special ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Co-owner Sam Misleh says the certification means a lot to them, especially given the investment they made to the project.
"The costs were more because of all of the materials," he says. "All of the materials had to be sustainable materials brought in from within a 500-mile radius."
"Initially, we didn't know what we were getting into. We had built other restaurants, but not to this level," Misleh says.
Construction began in November 2010 and the restaurant opened four months later. He says the attention to LEED certification probably added an additional month.
Besides recognition by the USGBC, Walker's Grille also has seen energy savings in electric and water bills, Musleh says.
The partners (and cousins) are proud to have the only LEED-certified restaurant in the state. And the sustainability goes beyond construction materials for the two.
The restaurant uses a recycling program to reduce waste, as well as high-efficiency equipment to reduce water and energy consumption. They also support local farmers and dairies, buying from all-natural beef and poultry producers.
On the restaurant's website, the owners tout, "Our meats and poultry are hormone, antibiotic and pesticide free; they are raised on all-natural vegetarian diets that are free from animal by-products."
Babcock hopes Walker's Grille will serve as a model of how other restaurants and smaller businesses can be green.
"It's a soup-to-nuts sustainability," he says. "It's not just locally sourced foods, it's changing the paradigm from the materials to the air quality and energy efficiency.
"I'm hopeful this illustrates (sustainable building) isn't just reserved for big projects. Anybody can do it."

Post subject: I must ask, can we make our own custom ship cards?
I know ADB wants to make money, but I've been hoping to construct some custom ship cards myself and was wondering, is this allowed? I would not distribute them, just for personal use. Any advice would be appreciated.
I really like the Fed Commander system (no need for a computer to play this great game) and hate to abandon it.

There's been several discussions on making cards for ships that haven't been moved over from SFB yet --
Are you considering that,
or adding ships you've designed,
or working on current FC ships to add a personal touch
As long as you don't post them online, it's been stated as no problem ---

Ditto that.
I've made several of my own ship cards. I put them on half of a standard sheet of paper in landscape mode (11"x8.5") and put that's ships relevant weapon charts, a firing arc diagram, boarding combat chart, repair chart, etc. on the other half. When its folded in half the ship is on one side and the charts are on the other. Slide it into a 5.5"x8.5" plastic sleeve and I have a usable card ready to go.
I "colorized" all the Middle Years ships from Briefing #2 as well as making some of the mods from SFB that haven't made it over yet. And they are all for my own personal use. I do not distribute them in any way.

Agreed. ADB won't come to your house and accost your gaming group.
They have a pretty lenient
and one of the only restrictions is indeed, no sharing of Federation Commander ship cards (online or otherwise). They have no problem with folks making things for their own use.
I've done quite a few myself (used my own Fed Tug and Fast Destroyer cards for years, until the official ones were printed).

Well this is encouraging news. Thanks guys!
"Are you considering that,
or adding ships you've designed,
or working on current FC ships to add a personal touch "
Hmmm... well, first of all, I just want to say that I have grown up with Star Trek and ADB since.... well.... as long as I can remember. I had to ask because I was wondering if Steve Cole and ADB are trying to gear the game system torward kids rather then adults and well... I'm kinda getting up there in age. I'm in my mid 30's now, but when I discovered Fed Commander in 2006 I was shocked! You could actually play SFB without a computer program and that made me very excited. Just was wondering if ADB wants kids playing Fed Commander not adults.
I had to ask because I did play a few test games with Fed Commander and was impressed with the system, but my skills are shall we say... pretty rusty. As for ship cards, I've actually downloaded the communique ship cards which are great, but I ususally copy the designs (Fleet scale is my favorite) and style them on my own patern. Most of the designs are just standard ADB ships (Fed CA, Klin D7, Rom SPA, etc.) but I have a handful of new designs I came up with or found on the internet (such as my hypothetical concept of the Miranda Class for example).
Would ship cards like this be ok?

As long as you do not distribute your homegrown ship cards via the web or email, everything is fine. Neither SVC nor I will beam into your gaming group, snatch your cards out of your hands, and scold you for your audacity.

Since this topic is about custom ship cards for Fed Com, this link is an interesting read about custom SSDs for SFB.
ADB does have an On-line Policy.
Since the On-line Policy mentions SFB SSDs then I assume it would cover Fed Com ship cards as well.

Actually, no, it doesn't.
It's been mentioned several times that FedCom ship cards are a different animal. In a nutshell, they ask that we don't. In-particular, don't convert SFB ships to FedCom and post them.

Will is correct. The ADB policy on SFB SSDs only applies to SFB SSDs. Please do not post any FC ship cards to this site or the web in general.
If, for some reason, you feel the need to create ship cards for things that have not already been created for FC, please always contact ADB first. There is a chance they may want to use your work, like they have with Rick Smith and Omega. No guarantees of course, but you won't know if you don't ask. Regardless do post any FC ship card without asking ADB.
Again, what you and your group do in the privacy of your own games is up to you.

According to Captains log 32 page 25, As for our On-Line Policy, this remains as before. If you create something new (a new ship, race, scenario, or rule) you can certainly put it on a web site under our web policy (which makes it a submission and gives us control of the copyright). What you cannot do is post official Star Fleet Universe material (copies of published items, or copies of items we posted on our web site). If you convert a Gorn BC SSD from SFB into a Fleet Scale Federation Commander ship card, feel free to use it for your own amusement, but do not post it on a web site. Doing so would be violating our copyrights. If you created and posted new ships for SFB and we have never published them, you can certainly do ship cards for Federation Commander under the existing On-Line Policy. Before posting anything, please read that policy and ask any questions you have.
While a person cannot convert official SFB SSDs to Fed Com and post those (according to the ADP On-Line Policy), if a person created and posted new ships for SFB and ADB has never published them, a person can certainly do ship cards for Federation Commander under the existing On-Line Policy.
The original poster for this topic was asking about custom ship cards. If he meant conversions of existing official SFB SSDs than you and dj are correct, other wise he could do the custom ship cards per on-line policy.

But it has to be a whole new creation. Of a ship and empire that have never existed before. In any venue. You may not post anything created from another property, including any non-SFB Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, etc. And the OP was talking about non-SFB Star Trek, so that is a no-no.
And if you did create a whole new ship and empire, why post it? Instead, submit it to ADB. Will it go anywhere? Who knows? But without at least first trying, you will never know.

Where in the on-line policy does it say new ship AND empire? There were several individuals who created and posted new Federation SSDs following the on-line policy.
Nevermind, you don't have to respond. I'm done. Its not like anybody would actually go through the process of setting up an authorized web-site for Fed Com then create enough new ship cards which ADB would allow to be posted on an authorized website to make it a worthwhile endevor.

Guys, thank you for the info about this subject. The only ship cards I have made so far have been pretty much standard SFB to FC conversions (like Fed CA, Klingon D7, Romulan SPA, etc.) and not much else. I have hardly any custom built ships in my collection, mostly because I have always been under the impression that ADB is not a big fan of custom ship proposals.

Don't mis-state the facts, Wedge. The only thing you have to "go thorugh" to set up and authorized website is to set it up and email me the link. The only thing you have to "go through" to be "allowed" to post the ships is to follow the posted rules on what you can and cannot post. As for making it worthwhile, that is for each man to judge. Why are you doing it? To get praise? You get praise from other players by posting a good ship, not a lot of junky ones.

I just used this to setup my Grid on my resto druid yesterday and I love it. It was really very nice. But I have a question. A lot of times the names in the Grid squares get replaced with numbers (usually +healing). I like seeing the healing, but is there a way to make it so I can always see the names?
Like last night in a 25 man, I was stacking rejuv's on everyone I could and they called out for me to innervate someone and it took me like 7-10 seconds to find them because all I could see in Grid was green numbers.
