A Parent's Guide to College Admission
One of the biggest decisions your student will make is choosing the college that he or she will attend. We know that this is a decision you take very seriously and that it is one involving the entire family. While your son or daughter may not say it, most want and need their parents' guidance during this time.
Here are highlights to help you and your student through the admissions process. Please know that at UHV, we welcome your questions and look forward to visiting with you and your student.
Apply early and complete application file
While there are no specific deadlines for admission to UHV, students are encouraged to gather their admissions information and submit their applications early. (Deadline for international students is eight weeks before the first day of classes.)
In order to be considered for admission, a student must send a completed application for undergraduate admission, an official transcript from each college or university attended (mailed directly from each institution to UHV), and TASP scores in reading, writing and mathematics, mailed directly to UHV from National Evaluation Systems Inc. These scores may also appear on official transcripts sent from a formerly attended college. (NOTE: Students who have completed at least three semester hours of acceptable college credit prior to Sept. 1, 1989, are exempt from taking the TASP.
Visit http://www.uhv.edu/oar/admissionsinformation.aspx for other exemptions, application requirements and to download an application file. Or go directly to http://www.applytexas.org/adappc/gen/c_start.WBX to complete your application to UHV.
Visit campus
A student can find out the most about a university with a visit to its campus. UHV offers a tour on the second Friday of each month, beginning promptly at 10 a.m. The tour lasts about 45 minutes. It is important that you call in advance to reserve your spot so that we may plan appropriately for your visit.
Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a tour or for more information. Students and parents should go to the Admissions Office, Room 104L in the University West building, 3007 N. Ben Wilson St., when they arrive on campus for their tour.
For more information, visit www.uhv.edu/LEAD/CampusTours.aspx
Start looking for scholarships/financial aid
The earlier you and your student begin researching and applying for scholarships and financial aid, the better. Here are some questions you may be asking:
How can we pay for college? What is the difference between a grant and a loan? Will financial aid pay for all my expenses?
First, you should know that UHV is the fourth most affordable public university in Texas for freshmen who qualify for financial aid.* Undergraduate students pay just $5,604 in tuition and fees during the 2010-11 school year based on 15 credit hours each semester.
Also, through its Jaguar Pledge, UHV administers a wide range of scholarships, grants, loans and work-study programs to help your student pay for the costs of achieving his dreams through education. Sixty-five percent of freshmen in 2010-2011 qualified for Jaguar Pledge assistance and received an average of $7,970 in aid.**
UHV was the first public university in the state to offer a "Degree in Three," or Dn3, program. Your student can earn a full, 120 credit-hour degree in only three years, saving time and money and allowing him to enter the workforce earlier.
UHV's financial aid director and representatives will be glad to assist you with the Jaguar Pledge or help with any other questions. Visit uhv.edu/ofa/ for more information and a list of other frequently asked questions.
You also can contact the financial aid office directly at 361-573-0000 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
*Rated fourth most affordable out of 34 public state universities, according to Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board fall 2009 data.
**The Jaguar Pledge is a separate scholarship program from Campaign Victoria, which is not available to students from Victoria, Calhoun, DeWitt and Lavaca counties and portions of Gonzales, Jackson and Refugio counties.
Become TSI complete
Your student must be in compliance with the Texas Success Initiative, mandated by the State of Texas in 2003, in order to demonstrate college readiness in math, reading and writing. UHV administers exams for TSI assessment, but also accepts Compass and Asset test scores to measure readiness. (Certain other math pre-requisites are required at UHV, so your student should check with UHV advisers to make sure those requirements have been met.)
Visit uhv.edu/oar/tsi.aspx to learn more about TSI compliance and see if your student is considered ready for college-level studies.
For more information about TSI, SAT or ACT requirements, UHV advisers will be able to assist you. Contact Samantha Bell at 361-570-4184 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Get to know your Admissions Analyst and Financial Aid Specialist
Admissions analysts and financial aid specialists at UHV will handle your student with professionalism and a personal touch. Encourage your student to introduce himself with an e-mail or call to the admissions and financial aid offices. Contact the Admissions Office at 361-570-4100 or firstname.lastname@example.com to start the process.
Your student's admission analyst and financial aid specialist can provide insight into UHV's admissions and financial aid processes. Making contacts helps and gives comfort to students during this time of huge change.
Parents, you are a big part of your student's search for a university. Don't hesitate to encourage your student to call UHV with questions about any part of the university admissions process.
Help your student manage the application process
Your student is beginning a journey that should lead to independence and a career. You need to support that journey by helping your student complete this application process as independently as possible.
We encourage your student to get to know the staff and faculty at UHV and interact with them as an independent adult. Our admissions staff's role is to help students through this process. Your role as a parent is to help your student become independent, yet support him from a distance.

Fair Trade Awards 2014
- Details
- Published on 24 October 2014
Nominations are now open for the 2014 Fair Trade Awards. Do you know any amazing people or groups (other than ourselves of course!) you could nominate for one of these categories? Voting closes on Friday 31st October, so be quick. Go here for more information on how to vote.
- Volunteer of the Year
- Campaigner of the Year
- Community
- Innovation
- Outstanding Achievement
Everyone is welcome to attend the awards night which coincides with the opening of the Fairtrade Foundation Photography Exhibition at Edinburgh University Chaplaincy on Friday 14th November from 6-8pm
As well as the presentation of the awards, there will also be stalls from several organisations including One World Shop, refreshments and lots of Equal Exchange's organic Hispaniolan hot chocolate to try.
Chocolate Week
- Details
- Published on 13 October 2014
This 13th - 19th October brings chocolate week, and we're quite excited about the opportunity to celebrate all things chocolate-y. Fortunately, enjoying Edinburgh based outfit Equal Exchange's new range of luxury chocolate, produced organically on small-scale sustainable farms, is the perfect way to do it. Look out for it arriving in the shop this weekend!
Yet it should of course be a week of appreciation not just for those eating the stuff, but for everyone involved in the supply chain – from producer, to chocolatier, to supplier; to us and then to you. As one of the top 5 chocolate consuming countries, coupled with the largest market for Fairtrade producers, we have a proud legacy to continue to develop here in the UK.
Plus, Fairtrade chocolate is a story worth taking the time to appreciate: Equal Exchange's new venture is an exemplary case study. 90% of the world's chocolate is grown on small family farms, and EE's new range sources cocoa from cooperatives in Peru, Ecuador and the Dominican Republic. Working with Fairtrade and Equal Exchange has supported these communities through scholarships for workers children, reforestation projects to achieve carbon neutrality, amongst other benefits of the Fairtrade Premium; in the words of Hilderbrando Salazar, general manager of Peruvian cooperative Oro Verde: "like Equal Exchange, we want to improve the lives of our small farmer members". Dare we say that by treating yourself to a bar of Caramel and Sea Salt that your helping to do just that.
Add to that the fact that Halloween is coming up and guisers soon to be found chapping on doors soliciting sugar (hopefully still in exchange for a joke or song!), why not make the bold decision to hand out Fairtrade chocolate this year? It gives you an excuse to come and sample your gifts next week, takes an important step toward injecting integrity back into Halloween; and you might even educate a few kids.
Kashmir Flood Support
- Details
- Published on 22 September 2014
You may have heard of the recent floods in Kashmir, where some of our papier mache artisans are based. Raja Mugloo, the producer, writes:
"It was like Tsunami and we didn't even get any time to move…we have never witnessed such devastating floods. One of my raw material suppliers Mehraj-udin, his entire property and goods were completely submerged in water. The overall loss of lives and property has been severe. Our shop in Srinigar was completely submerged under 15 ft of water. Everything is washed away! We have not been able to move everywhere as 80% of the roads are damaged and are still under water."
Thankfully none of Asha's artisans lost their lives, but the impact on their lives has been severe. Shared Earth is donating £1,000 to help them rebuild property and buy new raw materials such as paints and so on.
If you would like to make a donation yourself, they have set up a donation page.
Book launch: Mirabelle Maslin - Infants and Children: An introduction to emotional development
- Details
- Published on 09 September 2014
Please join us on Sunday 28th September at 2:30pm when Mirabelle Maslin, author of Infants and Children: An introduction to emotional development will be at the shop for a talk and discussion. Free fair trade refreshments will be served.
A parent's ability to be able to see and understand things through the eyes of their child is fundamental.
The child will come to feel truly known by the parent, and the parent helps him or her to make sense of what surrounds them. And where can true comfort be found? True comfort arises from the knowledge of a relationship that is based on trust. And what about the needs of the child of the past that dwells inside each 'adult' state?
This new book from author and therapist Mirabelle Maslin opens up a whole new world of understanding for parents and carers.
Available to buy now at One World Shop £7.99

Here's another great delivery story from our friend Mike Furman of Criswell Corvette about a father and son who just took delivery together of their new 2014 Corvette Stingrays at the National Corvette Museum.
Corvette Lifestyles
The National Corvette Museum has received its largest donation ever – a collection of 10 Corvettes in the Don Messner Collection.
Messner, who passed away in May from melanoma, wanted to inspire others to make similar donations in the future.
In 1970, Cliff Gottlob and Jack Blatchford drove a 1967 Corvette to Daytona Beach, Fla., where Gottlob and David Dooley teamed up to drive the L88-powered 'Vette to second place in a 24-hour endurance test.
Now, 43 years later, Blatchford drove the same car onto the lawn of the 18th fairway at the prestigious Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Someone once said there are two kinds of Corvette owners – drivers and polishers. We all know that keeping your Corvette looking as good as the day it rolled off the showroom floor is an unstated rule of Corvette ownership and that's what leads us to our question of the day. How do you wash your Corvette?
Once again our friends at ProTeam Corvette Sales will be hosting a NCRS Technical Seminar. This year's event is coming up on November 9th and the main topic is "How Chevrolet's Relentless Pursuit of HP Benefited Corvette". The all-day session is co-sponsored by the Michigan and Heart of Ohio chapters of the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS). NCRS membership isn't required to attend and the cost is just $20 at the door. That admission fee also includes breakfast and lunch.
Many of us have reported seeing new Corvette Stingrays on a hauler going down the highway on their way to some lucky owners.
But here's something that might be a first: a 2014 Stingray aboard an airplane!
American cars of the 1950s and '60s aren't popular just in the United States.
For example, wealthy collectors in China love the unique style and charisma of muscle cars like a 1964 Corvette Sting Ray that left this week on an 1,100-mile journey that began at the Great Wall near Beijing and will end Friday in Shanghai.
When I was younger, I dated a girl who took great pride in telling everyone she had a 'Vette.
Then she would mumble under her breath that it actually was a "Che-vette."
Wendy Griffith of Sugar Land, Texas can relate.
Have you been watching Corvette Nation TV Fridays on Velocity? Here's the segment they filmed from the 2013 Bloomington Gold Corvette Show.
A vignette of the September 13 episode on Corvette Nation featuring the 2013 Bloomington Gold Corvette show. See Jim Perkins, Reeves Callaway, Mike Yager in the Great Hall. Over 50 1963 Split Windows on display…and the '63 Grand Sport. Thousands of Corvettes and lots of fun.

Re: anyone selling a 30+ft sailboat?
In addition to mentioning the seal, the CL ad refers to it as a "project boat." One thing's for sure: If the seller calls it a "project boat," it needs a LOT of work before it can be seaworthy.
I think that any project boat is a horrible idea for a first time boat buyer. He could spend a couple years working on the boat without any actual sailing. That's a horrible way to start sailing.

We were sorry we didn't really like this interpretation of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice. It was an intriguing idea, but we thought the costumes were a little 'basic' and the acting quite variable - some excellent but some below par, and the changing of sets quite amateurish. The music as good, however.

I was so bored I really did almost fall asleep. My friend actually did fall asleep...twice! The production was a good idea, but was NOT well cast. I only liked Shylock and Antonio. The rest were boring.

After decades of human rights abuses, Myanmar's generals have recently freed political prisoners, reduced censorship and held limited elections — prompting countries to lift sanctions. But a year-long GlobalPost investigation has found that protests, violence and cronyism are testing Myanmar's reforms — and tarnishing the reputation of Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
How a censored nation spawned an alternative rock 'n' roll reality.
was "Chiquitita," a mournful ode to a lovesick girl. "Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong," croons the Swedish soft-pop quartet. "You're enchained by your own sorrow / In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow."
By the time Wunna Kyaw reformatted the tune, the TV spot was a tender ode to boob lotion. "It went something like, 'Life is full of happiness. The next most important thing, for girls, is beauty. This breast enlargement cream will enhance your beauty.'"
"I felt ashamed," Wunna Kyaw said.
His client, however, was thrilled after the mélange of saccharine Scandinavian pop, attractive models and breast enhancement hopes hit TV screnes.
Myanmar's pop idols aren't the only ones using foreign hits to cash in. Copy tracks have become the soundtrack to advertising jingles for ruby-and-jade jewelers, construction empires, instant coffee powder and budget cosmetics. In Myanmar, the driving melody to "You Give Love a Bad Name" is a gold shop theme, not a Bon Jovi riff; N Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" is repurposed to advertise baby shoes.
These ads run incessantly on TV stations owned by the government and the military. Copy track ads are so pervasive, Wunna Kyaw said, that corporations often approach ad makers with a Western pop single already selected. "Locals become familiar with these songs. They remember the melodies," he said. "We have a rule: if a three-year-old kid can sing along to your commercial ... you'll make a big profit."
For now, the only deterrent to plagiarizing pop for profit are high-minded ideals and a flimsy piece of legislation — the "Burma Copyright Act of 1911" — which dates back to the Myanmar's years under British colonial occupation. These codes on "cinematographs" and "engravings" pre-date television, let alone MP3s and DVDs. "We just don't have proper (intellectual property) laws in this country," Wunna Kyaw said.
But Myanmar's creative industry shouldn't quit plagiarizing because of some state decree, Wunna Kyaw said. His own production firm, Miracle Post, has sworn off copy tracks for dignity's sake.
He has encouraged upstart filmmakers to see that intellectual property theft negates their potential to grow beyond Myanmar. He cites a Yangon-based movie crew scrambling to clear rights for a plagiarized Japanese song after their film's acceptance into an international festival in Singapore.
Those who don't repent, Wunna Kyaw said, will be "trapped in Myanmar ... because they'll get sued if they ever leave."
Poison in your dreams
At a glance — through Western eyes at least — copy tracks are derivative, cheesy and perhaps even criminal. But does all that condescension cloud glimmers of real talent?
In a recent academic study of Myanmar's copy track phenomenon, Burmese-speaking University of Sydney anthropologist Jane M. Ferguson describes copy tracks as an art form that "breaks from, resists and receives international pop all at once."
Without copy tracks, she writes, a population living under asphyxiating censorship would have had no access to rock 'n' roll. She also warns critics who "look down their noses" at the copy tracks: "The pitfall to this stance is that it ignores the skill of musicians who interpret songs."
Consider the role of copy tracks in the rise of Acid, the Yangon rap group credited with sparking off Myanmar's raging hip-hop craze. They began in the late 1990s, when censorship was in full swing, by studying rap CDs acquired through back channels. "I liked the music and I liked the style," said Yan Yan Chan, 33, one of Acid's founding members. "But I had no idea what they were saying."
The lyrical thicket of slang and rapid-fire braggadocio was nearly impenetrable. "We figured out 'Yo' and 'What's up' pretty easily," he said. "Then we moved on to figuring out 'bitch' or 'dope.' We had dictionaries. But it was pretty obvious that 'bitch' didn't refer to an actual female dog."
Acid's breakout single was "A Sate Ein Mat." Translation: Poison in Your Dreams. "It was about partying, going all night without sleeping and turning the room upside down," he said. The song's beat — a hard drum loop pierced by intermittent squeals — would be instantly identifiable by almost any American who came of age in the 1990s.
It's Cypress Hill's "Insane in the Brain."
"You have to understand," Yan Yan Chan said. ""There was no one here to teach us how to do this. No one in the country knew how to produce a hip-hop beat." Much of their first album, released in 2000, was sequenced by a heavy metal sound engineer because "he was the only guy using computers in a music studio," Yan Yan Chan said.
The album barely survived intense scrutiny by government censors. "It came back with a big, red X," he said. "They were like, 'What the hell is this? A novel? Why so many lyrics?'"
Though Acid colored within lyrical lines drawn by censors, their music had its desired effect: pandemonium among parents across Myanmar. "If you listened to the album in your room," Yan Yan Chan said, "your mom would bang on the door and ask, 'Are people fighting in there!?' If you played it in the main room, your whole family would run away."
It's hard to tell if even Cypress Hill would deride Acid as plagiarists. The group's origin tale is filled with enough rebellion, hustle and ingenuity to offset petty concerns over stolen beats. Besides, hip-hop is a borrow-and-swap culture built on sampled bass riffs and looped soul samples. And in a new-generation context — marked by file sharing and mash-ups — copy tracks look more forgivable.
Yan Yan Chan has since gravitated away from copy tracks. "The mentality has changed," he said. "We're starting to believe we can do everything ourselves." Still, he chafes at the implication that his childhood heroes — such as rocker Lay Phyu — have anything to apologize for.
Sure, he's ripped off dozens of American rock songs. But just as Acid brought hip-hop to Myanmar's crumbling streets, Lay Phyu brought heavy metal to this cloistered and oppressed nation of millions. So who the hell is Metallica?
"Growing up, all my favorite songs were copy tracks. I had no idea," Yan Yan Chan said. "Now I do. But I still love them just the same."

"Reynolds and the Book Were Excellent"
Once again, Parker came through with a winner -- a fast-moving, often humorous voyage with a well-hidden ending, which, by the way, was a TV movie with Joe Montegna. There was a complaint about Burt Reynold's dropping off his endings. That was OK and perfectly in keeping with the character -- and did you notice there were no complaints about Spencer's sometimes exasperating I said's, he said's, she said's -- which are what he dropped off the most.

Candles flicker inside the marble fireplace, sending droplets of light into the 1920s colonial revival?style home that houses Quintana?s Barber & Dream Spa. Hardwood floors and tan leather seating compose a warm color palette, and WiFi?installed by the ghost of the original architect?keeps busy guests connected. After appointment reminders land in their email inboxes, clients step into the earth-toned sanctuary for services ranging from basic mani-pedis and beard trims to all-day spa excursions. Guests choose services from a menu of massages, facials, waxing, and haircare, which can be combined into packages for individuals and couples.
Quintana's soothing sanctuary doesn't just speak for itself. Patrons banded together to vote the salon into CityVoter's top five for Best Massage, Barber, and Mani-Pedi in 2013. The spa's acclaim page also spotlights press recognition of Friendliest Staff, Best-Looking Storefront, and Most Helpful Combs.
Clients walking into La Bella Delle Rose Salon might sense a warm, personal aesthetic shaping the styling studio, even if they don't know that the dark-wood reception desk was hand-built by the owner's father. Sherbet-colored walls backdrop ice-cream-themed decorations, a popcorn machine commingles with the coffeemaker in the waiting area, and a manicure station recalls a fortune-teller's table with its scarlet damask draping. While basking in Pureology hair treatments or being prepped for weddings and other landmark occasions, guests sit beneath studio lighting, which helps them tell stylists apart from IRS agents.
Oscar Giovanni Salon & Spa's prettifying professionals cosset hard-working countenances within the sage and chocolate trappings of their newly opened second location. The visage invigoration begins with a pore cleansing to gently wash away accumulated dirt and ink from squid-diaper-changing mishaps. Next, a face-saving aesthetician blends a tailor-made cream concoction, designed to optimally balance and nourish skin based on skin type. The staff recommends this facial as a perfect first date with skincare for spa newbies, and Oscar Giovanni Salon & Spa's wrought-iron chandeliers and ballad-singing candles set a romantic atmosphere for adoring newly radiant skin.
Tell us about your business.
[It's] a one-stop-shop for the mind, body and soul. We provide a unique approach to healing. Many of our customers travel from all over Ohio for our outstanding services and to receive attention from our extremely compassionate staff.
When and how did you first develop a passion for your work?
I have always been a natural healer from as early as my childhood. It wasn't until I had started taking prerequisites in college that I realized what my true calling was.
What is one of your signature services? How is it performed?
Hypnotic massage. It is a unique service that integrates a therapeutic massage with our heart-centered hypnotherapy. Personally, I combine the massage and the hypnosis in the same session . . . another option is to have the therapeutic massage before the hypnosis session. You could also have our hypnotherapist sit in the room with you during your massage treatment and engage you in the hypnotherapy process. We intentionally pair these two services together to assure ultimate healing results that will be imprinted deeply within your cellular tissue and deeper into the subconscious mind to assure the results stick.
Do you offer your customers any extra perks?
We have complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in our waiting-room area. We provide cold water after massage sessions to flush out toxins. We also have a wide range of reading materials as well as cable television in the waiting room.
Anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
Our one-stop-shop keeps growing. We are in the process of developing our unique yoga studio and café downstairs from our current location with a tentative grand opening for this fall.
As the owner of Therapeutic Touch, Licensed Massage Therapist Sonya Foradora and her fellow therapists foster relaxation, wellbeing, and beauty with massages and facial treatments. Body-therapy sessions in the cozy studio complement muscular manipulation with such clarifying offerings as full-body exfoliation and hydrotherapy. The outfit's attention to detail can help patients overcome a wide array of stress-related maladies, such as headaches, chronic fatigue, and pinky cramps.
At Zen Gardens Massage, the massage therapists alleviate aches and tension with Swedish, deep-tissue, and reflexology techniques. To complement the massage kneads, they can incorporate soothing tools such as hot stones, hot bamboo, mud wraps, or organic aromatherapy oils, which help make the room smell as good as an aromatherapist's lab. For clients who can't make it to the studio, Zen Gardens Massages provides mobile massage therapy at offices and hotel rooms.

Sri Lanka flag carrier supports establishing a child psychiatric unit at Children's Hospital
Sun, Jan 13, 2013, 12:34 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Jan 12, Colombo: Sri Lanka's national carrier SriLankan Airlines has provided support to the main Lady Ridgeway Children Hospital to establish the country' s first dedicated, multi-disciplinary Child Psychiatric Unit.
The pediatric hospital with the support from the Airlines will upgrade on of the wards in the hospital to a Child Psychiatric facility at a cost of Rs, 8 million.
The airline's SriLankan Cares Trust will provide the funds to complete the project in six months.
Sri Lanka Ministry of Health Lady Ridgeway Hospital and the SriLankan Airlines have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the project.
Under the project, an old building will be refurbished and furnished to house the proposed unit.
"Due to low priority, mental health care has been a neglected aspect in Sri Lanka and this has been a compelling reason for SriLankan Cares to take up this initiative and to shed light on the issue," SriLankan Airlines has said in a statement.
SriLankan Cares will hand over a completely renovated ward, complete with necessary furniture to the management of the pediatric hospital and continue to monitor its usage and progress, the airline has said.

The person who "spots" all 100 items on the Big Eat 2011 Scavenger Hunt (by taking a photo) will win two nights in a historic deluxe room at the Napa River Inn, dinner for two at Morimoto Napa, a private booth after dinner at John Anthony Wines and a $1,250 gift basket from CANVAS (details below). If no participant has spotted all 100 items by April 31, 2011, the person with the most items spotted on April 31, 2011 will win the Grand Prize.
Campton Spices It Up
I want to make this clear: Srijith, the executive sous chef of Campton Place Hotel restaurant, is not the kind of guy who's made his career cooking up a curry of the day. Before he arrived in SF, he was a chef at Deep End—an award-winning Conde Nast restaurant in the Maldives where the menu is Mediterranean.

7 Things in Food
1. Green delivery: This is the first full week that Grub Hub—online delivery guide and ordering service—is purchasing carbon offsets for every delivery.
2. Dine like it's 1998: In celebration of 10 years in business, Absinthe is rolling back prices on signature dishes and cocktails from January 20 to February 1.
3. Go 'shroomin': Black Truffle dinner at Palmetto is tonight (January 22 at 7 p.m.). Start with beef carpaccio and shaved celery salad, move to pasta, then roasted guinea hen and finally a duet of desserts.
The Fifth Floor Goes to Gascony
Chef Laurent Manrique is getting back to his roots.
Chefs get excited about things: "The Bay Area is almost the same latitude and longitude!" Laurent Manrique, the chef of Aqua and now consultant to the Fifth Floor, was telling me the other day, referring to the likeness of our geography to his native homeland, the Gascony region of France. They have a wine country (OK, so theirs is Bordeaux, one of the most famous wine regions in the world), forest, mountains (OK, theirs is the Pyrenees), and an ocean in close proximity—and so do we!
Santa Cruz Root Beer
My quest to find the perfect root beer continued with this oddity, purchased at the Ashbury Market. As you might expect, my quest will continue. This organic root beer is clear. Wearing its lack of artificial coloring on its sleeve might allow Santa Cruz to feel morally superior, but, come on, root beer should be brown and served in a frosty mug. (OK, I'm the one who put it in a wine glass.) Anyway, the flavor was not particularly rooty. It was more gingery and spicy. It's drinkable, but not really satisfying as a root beer. Next!

I think todays coffee + cre8tive reflects that I'm feeling a tad bit over-caffeinated. I seriously need to step away from the tall non-fat cafe lattes.
This photo arrived yesterday via email from my pal Marcia over at MIT. The timing could not have been better. When it arrived, I heard that familiar little email 'ping' and glanced up from beneath my desk to see this photo in full view on my monitor. You see, I was in the midst of a little spring cleaning project. Only a few short days ago, we had a massive snowstorm, and today, it was in the 50's and sunny, so I figured it to be the perfect time to organize. After stepping out for a client meeting, I fueled up at the local Starbucks and jetted home to get crackin' on my total organization project here in my tiny home office. Faced with a sea of to-do lists, inspiration clippings gone wild, and a design board that was beginning to form layers, I decided that it was horribly wrong of me to let things get so out of control that the only recognizable object on my desk was my mouse. Even he was starting to hide beneath papers, trembling in fear, with his little cord tail sticking out so I could at least find him amidst the cluttered chaos. Scampering around stacking papers on the floor, this photo appeared and made me laugh so hard I felt like I was drunk. (Marcia, if you're reading this, thank you, girl!)
This photo gives you a pretty good perception of what the horrible reality was all about in my office yesterday. It's not my space, but it's how I think it looked. I've controlled the space siince and now it's in good working order, but my battle scars (paper cuts) will remind me for, at least a few days, to never ever let it get this bad again.
I don't think Real Simple magazine would have approved.
Just a quickie…
Spotted this and wanted to share – great buys for rugs. All under $99! The Arden Ruda felt rug looks nice for only $79.99. The Brattby goatskin rug looks very nice for a modern space – I'm envisioning it near a swanky chaise longue in black leather from DWR, perhaps? Visit IKEA for more details!
I recently discovered a fun little store called Foster's that I think you'll fancy. With a retail space in Philly, and online shopping for the rest of us, I've selected a few fresh finds that made me smile, like the beer bands (forget wine tags!) and the voodoo doll toothpick holder (ouch!). Surf Foster's and see if you can find any others that appeal to you!
I'm off for a meeting until 2 p.m. EST, so I won't be posting again until late afternoon. I'll be back with a few more fresh finds later today, so stay tuned, design addicts!
Bev Hisey, fashion designer turned textile designer, is a notable Canadian designer who specializes in modern home accessories. Modern, but not stiff. Playful, but not over-the-top. Her line is best known for combining unexpected colors + textures resulting in a whimsical touch for your modern space. Rectiliear or curvaceous interlocking patterns. Hand-screened. Die-cut botanical pattern leather. 3-D flower lumbar cushions. See what I mean?
You can shop for Bev Hisey online at UMA, or refer to her website for store locations nearest to you.
Some of my favorites include her wool runners, panels, pillows, and lighting shown below. Splendid!

The Office of Management and Budget didn't direct or require the
defense secretary or military departments to undertake public/private
competitions for Defense Department work, according to a report
released today. DOD officials in charge of the competitions
said they didn't feel pressured by OMB officials to conduct the
competitions, according to a DOD inspector general's report. However,
the Army was under "extreme" pressure from the Office of the Secretary
of Defense (OSD) to conduct the competitions, the report states.
Officials at the Army Materiel Command and Army Installation Management
Command said they felt pressure more from the chain of command than
from the OSD or OMB, according to the report. The two major commands,
the only two to hold competitions in 2008, announced their competitions
because of pressure to reach a goal set by the Army.
Competitive sourcing pits government employees against contractors
for government work. The program has stirred up a lot of controversy in
Congress, and numerous bills have restricted the use of competitive
sourcing and almost stopped the practice. The fiscal 2008
National Defense Authorization Act restricted OMB and the defense
secretary from influencing DOD agencies regarding competitive sourcing.

Hi: 9° Lo:2°
By Carl Jackson Thursday 06 December 2012 Updated: 12/12 22:08
A CRIME spree across Bromsgrove district last Wednesday (December 5) saw three burglaries carried out and a car stolen in just three hours.
Police believe all the incidents, which happened between 12.45pm and 4pm, were linked.
Jewellery, cash and car keys were stolen from the first home in Bittell Road, Barnt Green after thieves got in through an unlocked porch and kicked the front door in.
Then, a haul worth more than £4,500 was taken from a home in the next lane, Bittell Farm Road, when the porch and front doors were forced.
The items included a £700 26-inch flat screen Samsung TV, a man's ring with a large diamond worth £1,250, another man's white gold ring with five small diamonds worth £1,000, a £900 Rotary watch with a gold strap, a £400 Rotary watch with a black leather strap and three pairs of cuff-links - two gold and one silver - worth £350. Car keys were also taken, although the vehicle was not stolen.
The getaway vehicle, a £15,000 blue Volkswagen Golf, was driven away from outside the front of the third home in Marlbrook Lane, after thieves got into the kitchen through an unlocked back door and stole the keys, while the man who lives there was upstairs.
A West Midlands Police helicopter picked up the vehicle on the A441 in Hopwood around 3.40pm.
It tracked the car as it went into Kings Norton where it was involved in a crash with another moving vehicle before carrying on to Birmingham where it crashed again - this time in to a police car.
Police said they were forced to abandon the chase at around 4pm, because of how dangerous the escaping vehicle was being driven.
Det Sgt Ed Slough of West Mercia Police said they suspected there were at least two people involved.
"It is significant that vehicle keys were removed from all three homes, although only one car was actually stolen, the blue Golf."
He added that car was still missing and he urged anyone with any information on its whereabouts to contact officers.
"We also want to emphasise to people that if they see anyone acting suspiciously, to note descriptions and take down the registration number of any vehicles being used," he said.
Police have carried out door to door enquiries and community support officers have stepped up patrols in the area in case the thieves return for the other vehicles.
The stolen Golf has the registration VE11 GKF.
Anyone with any information on any of these incidents should contact Det Sgt Slough at Bromsgrove CID on 0300 333 3000.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A Florida Chamber of Commerce study recommends enhancing the state's seaports and airports to create
143,000 jobs.
The study released Wednesday dovetails with Governor-elect Rick Scott's campaign promise to create 700,000 new jobs in seven years, although it began before he became a candidate.
One recommendation is dredging at least one port to a 50-foot channel depth to handle the largest container ships using the Panama Canal when it expands in 2014.
Tampa now has the deepest channel in Florida at 43 feet. The only port on the East Coast already at 50 feet is Norfolk, Va.
The study recommends expanding Miami International Airport's role as a global hub and creating second tier cargo hubs at other Florida airports.
