I ordered the deluxe package and the personalized banner. While it looked as it does online & I was pleased with the banner, the hats and centerpiece were very flimsy and would not stay together without tape which looked cheap. Next year, I'll be shopping at my local party store. Not worth the money plus shipping.

Quaker Heritage Center to Present Lecture by Historian/Author Paul Buckley
Presentation Highlights New Book on Elias Hicks
April 25, 2014
Renowned Quaker historian and author Paul Buckley will speak on the traveling Quaker preacher Elias Hicks (1748-1830) Wednesday (April 30), at 7 p.m., in the T. Canby Jones Meetinghouse at Wilmington College.
The Meriam R. Hare Quaker Heritage Center is presenting the lecture, which is free and open to the public.
Buckley will discuss his new book, The Essential Elias Hicks, in which he describes Hicks, in 1828, as the best-known Quaker in the United States.
"He was a deep and original religious thinker, a commanding and compelling preacher, and although 80 years old, still a faithful traveling minister," Buckley writes about Hicks.
"In the past half-century, he had visited nearly every meeting from Canada to Virginia and was about to embark on the longest journey of his life, going as far west as Indiana to visit among Friends and preach to the wider world about Quaker faith and practice.
"To Hicks, Quakerism was a profound critique of, and a radical alternative to, the worldview of the wider society. Friends were not 'of the world' nor were they 'in the world' – they were separate from it. In Hicks' words, they were called to reject all its 'friendships, manners, maxims, policies, customs, fashions, vanities, pleasures, and amusements."
Buckley added, "This message challenged Friends then and continues to challenge us today."
Following his lecture, a reception will be held in the adjacent Quaker Heritage Center gallery, where the current exhibit features a series Herbert Block's political cartoons from the Herb Block Foundation, titled "The Long March."
The exhibit runs through May 2.

About the Model ADE190No other brand evokes more passion, loyalty, and respect than Bach Stradivarius. Exceptional tonal color, balanced response, and superb projection are the hallmarks of designs by Vincent Bach. Carrying on the legacy and true to the vision of the master craftsman, the makers of today's Bach Stradivarius proudly introduce the Artisan Collection. Skillfully handcrafted, Artisan culminates in a unique blend of classic design, elegant styling, and the signature Bach sound. Whether a passionate enthusiast or performing artist, experience The Artisan Collection and discover the Artisan within.
Each Artisan D/Eb trumpet is made with two one-piece hand-hammered tunable yellow brass bells with flat rims and special acoustic treatment in D and Eb. This process results in a beautiful Bach Stradivarius sound with a focused core and a broader range of color. The ADE190 comes with two complete sets of valve slides for both D and Eb. The two-piece valve construction with nickel balusters and brass casings harkens back to the construction techniques used by Vincent Bach when making classic Bach trumpets in New York City and Mount Vernon, New York. Monel pistons along with two sets of brass and plastic valve guides offer the player a choice in response and feel. The 1st slide split ring, enhanced radius ferrules, sculpted bracing, and artistic engraving are all key contributors to the unique response while providing an unparalleled elegance in appearance. The clear lacquer finish of the ADE190 provides a subtle warmth to the overall sound. These features combined with a .450" bore result in a beautiful and focused sound with superb intonation. Whether playing the Haydn concerto or souring over an orchestra, the ADE190 D/Eb trumpet is the perfect choice.
Bach Stradivarius "Artisan" - Combination D/Eb trumpet, .450" bore, two 4-1/2" diameter one-piece hand-hammered tunable yellow brass bells with flat rim in D and Eb, separate set of slides for D and Eb, special acoustic bell treatment, enhanced radius ferrules, Monel pistons, 2 sets of valve guides - brass/plastic, 1st slide split ring, deluxe engraving, clear lacquer finish, C190DE deluxe case, no mouthpiece.
Born Vincent Shrotenbach in Vienna in 1890, he initially received training on violin, but subsequently switched to trumpet when he heard its majestic sound. Although Vincent also displayed a strong aptitude for science and graduated with an engineering degree, he gave up a promising career to pursue his first love and an uncertain future as a musician. Performing under the stage name, Vincent Bach, he established musical success as he toured throughout Europe.
World War I forced Vincent's move to New York City where he arrived with only $5.00 in his pocket. A letter to the famous conductor Karl Muck procured Vincent an audition and a resulting position with the Boston Symphony. By the following season, he was first trumpet in the Metropolitan Opera House. While on tour in Pittsburgh, Vincent's mouthpiece was ruined by a repairman. Vincent had great difficulty in finding a suitable replacement. While on furloughs, he spent time in the basement of the Selmer Music store remodeling old mouthpieces.
In 1918, with the investment of $300 for a foot-operated lathe, Vincent went into the business of making mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and in 1924, the first Bach trumpets were produced. Musicians frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a real 'Stradivarius', thus inspiring the name Bach Stradivarius. Bach later added trombones to his line around 1928.
At the age of 71, Vincent sold his company. Although he received twelve other offers, including some that were higher, Vincent chose to sell to the Selmer Company. In 1964, the tooling and machinery for Bach instruments was moved from Mount Vernon to their current home in Elkhart, Indiana. Today, these instruments continue to embody the highest standards of craftsmanship and adhere to Vincent's original designs and blueprints.

EarthLite Basic Fleece Table Pad and Face Rest SetThis is a Fleece Pad for your massage table that adds an extra inch of luxurious comfort. It will keep your clients warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It also helps hold your sheets in place and protects the vinyl on your table. Finally a Fleece Pad that is machine washable and dryable. This is a great addition to your table as well as a great gift! 30" x 73". 1" thick. Available in Natural color only. Includes pad and crescent cover.
So pleased with this purchase. Soft, thick and cozy fleece in a generous size, fits easily on my table and headrest.
The description doesn't mention that it's synthetic fleece, which was dampened my excitement upon opening it, but it is incredibly soft. The first client I had (who was a regular and used to my table w/o it) who laid down on it noticed it immediately. "Cynthia," she said me, "this is incredible." That comment alone made it immediately worth the money!
I keep my heating pad underneath it, because I wasn't sure how the heat would react to the plastic fleece fibers, and the warmth still easily transfers through the pad and up to the client.
In Summary:
Not real fleece, but definitely a must-have
I am so glad I bought this package of the Fleece pad and also, the heater. The crescent cover adds a lot of comfort as well and it is a step up from just the normal table experience. Do it if you want comfort! I can face the winter better now with this heater on board!
We are very happy with this product - meets expectations in every way. Adds a level of comfort. But be aware that most State Regulations require that this pad be washed after every customer or add another layer polyurethane or other non-porous material. The product is very good - just know the rules before you're inspected.
I have a nice EarthLite Spirit that has a good amount of padding, but the fleece pad really makes a difference. I've had patients say " I could lay here all day." It seems very durable and after a couple washes, it doesn't shed much anymore. Highly reccommend!

Jenson Button may have a "good feeling about the first race" but he expects Mercedes could yet have the advantage over McLaren.
This week's Bahrain test has been dominated by the Mercedes-powered teams with Force India fastest on Day One, McLaren on Day Two and Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes W05 setting the pace on Friday.
The British driver posted a 1:34.263 to beat Button by 0.713s.
And although it is widely thought that Mercedes-powered teams have the advantage, Button believes of those it is the full-works team that is ahead of the pack.
"I have a good feeling about the first race," Button told Sky Sports News.
"There's a lot of work to do for everyone before the first race and you can see by the difference in lap times from the quickest car and slowest car, it's massive.
"I'm sure we're not all running the same spec and the same tyres in the same conditions, but still there's a massive gap. I'm sure it will be closer by the first race and I feel that we will be ready for the first race. But there's a lot of work for us to do in the limited time we have."
Button had a busy day at the Sakhir circuit on Friday where he completed 103 laps including a full race distance during the afternoon's session.
It was a much better showing from the Brit and his McLaren team compared to last year with the troubled MP4-28.
Asked to compare the two cars, he said: "It's a great base, it really is. You can't really compare it to last year.
"The car goes in a straight line on the straights, it doesn't bounce up and down, you can see where you're going when you get to the corner - so it's a big difference!"
There is, however, still room for improvement with Button revealing that the MP4-29 could do with more downforce. That, though, he concedes is something every team wants.
"We're still lacking a lot of downforce, I think every team is, but compared to the car that was quicker than us today I think it's an area where we are weak at the moment.
"But the basic aim for us was to get a good car mechanically and a basic aerodynamic car and hopefully build on that through the season, but as much as we can for the first race.
"Yes, we're in a reasonable position. You'd like to be faster, I think every team except for the Mercedes team would be. When you look at other teams' test days and what they're up to you'd say that we're in reasonable shape."

Southern Poverty Law Center Demands Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum Repeal Anti-Gay Policy
JACKSON, Miss. – The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) sent a letter to the Mississippi Agriculture & Forestry Museum and the Mississippi attorney general demanding that the museum immediately rescind its unlawful policy of refusing to rent the facilities to same-sex couples for commitment and wedding ceremonies or face a federal lawsuit.
Ceara Sturgis and her same-sex partner, Emily, are asking to hold their commitment ceremony at the museum this fall. The museum is owned and operated by the state and has previously refused to rent its facilities for same-sex wedding and commitment ceremonies on the basis that such ceremonies violate state law. Museum representatives have until July 25 to advise the SPLC and its clients of its position.
"Our clients simply want to have the opportunity to express their love for one another in front of their family and friends," said Elissa Johnson, a staff attorney for the SPLC. "It is unfair and illegal for the state to refuse to rent its facilities to couples based solely on their sexual orientation."
Sturgis and her mother, Veronica Rodriguez, are both from Jackson and wish to hold the ceremony at the museum's Masonic Hall so that family and friends in the area may attend.
"We love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together," said Sturgis. "Like any other couple, we want to be able to share this special day with our family and friends."
To support its policy, the museum cites a 2009 letter from Attorney General Jim Hood expressing his opinion that the museum may restrict use of its property to events that are "legal" under state law and therefore may "prohibit same gender marriages on museum property."
But the letter warns the museum that it has no legal basis for denying same-sex couples the use of its facilities for such ceremonies. The museum routinely rents its facilities, including the Masonic Hall, to heterosexual couples for weddings, wedding rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions. It must make the facilities available to same-sex couples also. The letter states that, "the Museum's refusal to rent the same facilities to same-sex couples for the same purposes constitutes viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment."
The letter also notes that the policy violates the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution, because under the 14th Amendment, a state may not single out a class of citizens for different treatment, absent a valid state interest. A commitment ceremony or same-sex wedding ceremony does not require that the state recognize or endorse the committed same-sex couple as a married couple.
"As a mother, I have dreamed of giving my daughter the wedding that she desires and I want her to be able to get married in her hometown in front of our family and friends," said Rodriguez. "We are not asking Mississippi to recognize Ceara and Emily's relationship, although it should. We are just asking that they have the opportunity to hold a ceremony in a public place – the same as other couples."
Other attorneys signing the letter include Jody E. Owens, II, and Christine P. Sun of the SPLC, and Alysson Mills of Fishman Haygood Phelps Walmsley Willis & Swanson, L.L.P. in New Orleans.

'Cleaning fairy' caught shoveling driveways

Ohio's "cleaning fairy" has struck again. But instead of breaking into homes to clean, she's shoveling strangers' driveways.
Police in Elyra, Ohio, received a report of a "suspicious female" clearing snow from a driveway. When they arrived, they found Susan Warren, 53, shoveling snow, according to The Chronicle-Telegram.
Warren was previously arrested for breaking into a home near Cleveland, cleaning and leaving a bill for $75. She pleaded guilty and was put on probation, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
Warren probably won't face charges for shoveling the driveway, but she was arrested for violating her probation for an earlier attempted burglary, according to The Columbus Dispatch and Chronicle-Telegram.

Adrian Sutil admitted that Sauber still needs to work on some of the aerodynamic aspects of the C33 car, but added that he is happy with Ferrari's new power unit.
During the Jerez test last week, Sauber used a launch specification aero package on the car but will upgrade that with a an "extensive package" in Bahrain in a fortnight's time during the second official pre-season Test.
"The conditions were just not so good and we were struggling mostly to keep the tyres up to temperature. So we were struggling to do a longer run - longer than five laps - because we lost so much temperature that it was almost undriveable. So the runs were quite short but we covered over 60 laps [on the final day] so that's not too bad," Sutil said.
"We need to put some downforce on the car and make it driveable. I think this is the most important thing.
"All the brake systems and engine-wise I think we're quite comfortable with the Ferrari package - they did a good job - so we have to focus on our car, driveability and especially the aerodynamics."

Short answer: no difference.
Long answer: we do mostly 10's in my guild, and the gearing recommendations lifted from people who do 25's regularly works like a charm in 10's.
There is so much theorycrafting done on these forums for how to best gear the hard-core, progression focused, 25m tank. Everything to the finest detail is carefully analyzed.
For a long time I've followed these discussions closely and keep a constant eye to the gear/enchant/gem/talent/glyph/consumable choices of the best 25m Warrior tanks.
But I am not a 25m tank. I am a 10m Strict tank.
Lately I've begun to wonder if the choices that a 25m tank makes are always the same choices that I should be making. Is it possible that there are key points at which the 2 tanks diverge?
For instance, I wonder if the value of something like the t10 4pc is drastically different for a 10m tank than a 25m tank. Another example is Blood Draining vs Mongoose vs Blade Ward. I've long felt that Blood Draining is the way to go for a 10m tank. And what about Socket bonuses or the notion that 'EH is king'? Are the answers the same for a progression focused 10m tank?
The problem for me is that, and its why I've started the thread, the mountain of numbers and data is almost entirely from the 25m context.
If I could borrow a little of the massive theory-crafting machine that is Tankspot, I'd like to hear some thoughts on how a hard-core 10m tank might make different decisions than a hard-core 25m tank. Maybe this thread will simply be confirmation that a 10m tank should do the same things that 25m tanks do and that is fine too.
Thanks in advance.
Short answer: no difference.
Long answer: we do mostly 10's in my guild, and the gearing recommendations lifted from people who do 25's regularly works like a charm in 10's.
It's a fair question. A lot of wow theorycraft in general tends to work like this:
- Good mathematician models something in the game, making some assumptions about X, Y and Z values
- Good mathematician posits a conclusion or summary, with some caveats
- Someone writes a guide, based on the summary
- Someone reads the guide and tells his mate
- Some guys mate posts on a forum
... etc
The point here is that "assumptions and caveats" could include "in T10.25 man gear" or "with X trinket only available in 25 man" but you'd never hear that from the guy that posts what his mate told him on the forum.
I personally wouldn't fret too much with tank theorycraft, I think however most things hold fairly true. Assuming you are in the current 10 man version of the raid content (i.e. you are only half a tier behind) then the gear difference isn't that huge. The principals are all more or less constant, and have been for the whole xpac. I'd certainly keep in mind your position when reading things like emblem of frost pick lists, but I think you'll find that there are 10 man oriented versions of those already.
I think gearing recommendations are really the only thing that change since 10M tanks don't have access to 25 man gear. For 10M glyph of indom becomes a lot more important since they don't have access to Jug's Vitality or Heart of Iron. (assuming they do zero 25 mans, but the bosses those drop off of can be PuG'd on my server so that also depends on your server, etc.) But that's just an example. As far as EHP, gemming/enchanting, etc. goes, it's the same.

I've always used the 25 man gear lists even though I am in a strictly 10 man guild as well. It's simple enough to just ignore the 25 man exclusive items, especially since most of those lists will say which it comes from.
About the only thing I can think of that might be worth thinking about would be block. Since the 10 man bosses hit for less, the value of block is slightly higher than to a 25 man tank. But overall block is a pretty useless stat to stack, so you're probably safe for the most part.
Also, some people will place a certain "value" on the set bonuses, and use the gear differences of their tier of gear to determine that. Overall, I think the difference is not something to worry about, but a 25 man tank might think that this certain setup is ideal for him, while it might be something else entirely because of the limited gear available to a 10 man tank. I think this is probably the question that needs to be answered if you're truely trying to identify differences.
"Ultimately, making the blanket statement '25m content is harder, period' is at best an overstatement and at worst ignorant drivel." Garrek
The Op makes some very valid points.
Inc. damage is MUCH higher in 25m then in 10m. Considering the difference in EH between a 10m strict and a 25m is not extremely variant, do the 10m tanks have the same requirements as 25m's do?
An example the OP mentioned, the tier 10 4pc. (Just to clear up now, I don't like it.)
I imagine it's far more useful to a 25m tank where the incoming damage tends to be much higher, therefore the extra cooldown could be more valuable.
It's an interesting question, as there's no doubt the requirements are different for tanks between 10 and 25's. Further, 10's don't get all the buffs 25's do in most cases. They have to work harder to hit caps like spell hit (no boomkin / sp) or haste.
If it's a different set of requirements, do the same rules always apply? Should they?
I'll be back to look at this thread; hopefully someone has more insights.
Be a Champion, not a hero.
With that in mind, the usual gearing recommendations as far as how to gem and how to spec etc., etc., work just as well in 10's as in 25's.
In short, maybe you can't follow a 25-man BiS gearing list, but you can follow the theorycrafting, gemming and enchanting recommendations with positive results.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. 10m and 25m progression is different and I would not be surprised to find data suggesting a divergence in how to best tank them.I'll be back to look at this thread; hopefully someone has more insights.
The only place I really see a divergence when going from 10man to 25man tanking is in the area of utility.
I'm much more concerned about the utility I can bring (and what I cannot) to the raid in a 10man because I can no longer assume that every avalible buff and debuff has been supplied already. I frequently use an odd-ball frost IIT spec for 10man when we don't have our regular enhance shaman (for example).
In terms of priorities in gear, these are roughly the same. I don't put on diffirent gear for a 10man, and the execution of encounters is usually similar in nature. Then again, I do 25mans on a regular basis so my opinon could suffer inherent bias.
Aside from just the different gear available to you, another consideration is raid comp. You only have 10 slots to work with so less buffs/debuffs are available.
If you do not have someone covering IMP Demo (or equal) and Max Commanding Presence a build like this would be highly beneficial to your raid: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft
The Glyphs used in that build would also be a bit more beneficial to a 10 man tank due to less external CD's being available. Which is probably what got you thinking about the 4Pc bonus. However like a previous poster I feel that it lacks. You give up a ton of EH from the non-set items to get it.
There is something so appealing about backhanding someone across the face with a shield.
A point to consider in your musings is how much BiS gear is available to the dedicated 10man tank this patch for the first time.
I reckon the badge cloak, belt, chest and gloves are arguably BiS, as are the crafted boots and legs. Add in the badge trinket and you are looking at many slots with exactly the same itemisation as a dedicated 25 tank.
From my memory I'd always had to 'settle' for 10man loot in previous patches, as I only play 10s.
In this phase of progression, there isn't a ton of difference. Why?
So, bottom line? Yes, while 25-man gear will be different--especially when certain 277 drops appear in 25H--the general approach and available items this early is almost identical.
- Bonus Armor offset items are available to 10-man guilds, allowing them 264 items which most 25-man tanks are using anyway
- In slots that have typically been a negative for 10-man instances, the ICC-10 surprisingly exceeds the availability in many cases compared to 25-man, such as Trinkets (Unidentifiable Organ), Weapons (A 3 known 10-man weapons are better than the 1 known 25-man one and as the only known 25-man ranged weapon is trash and does not have a heroic version, and not only is the Heroic 10-man ranged weapon the same ilevel as the 25-man trash weapon, the 25-man one is BoE)
- The rep ring is still available at high ilevels
- The few TotC 'carryover' items are generally from ICC-10, including the Twins-10H ring and Anub-10H bonus armor weapons
Personally, the only thing I would say is that in 10-mans I place a bit higher of a weight on Burst Time and survivability rather than pure EH stacking. Given the available items right now, tanks can get far, far higher EH levels than 10-man seems to be balanced around, which means that with more limited mana (potential lack of raid buffs for healers makes this more of an issue) and especially if you only run with 2 healers, damage reduction becomes more important than in 25-mans IMO.
That said, most of the best 10-man strict items are Armor items which will both increase your EH and survival simultaniously, so it's hard to go wrong.

I was having this discussion the other night in guild. We have just started a 10 man guild since our old 25 man guild was full on unreliable people. I think for the most part the guides for 25 alligned well for the 10 man with one exception. At the present time tier gear is not as valuable unless the set bonus is amazing.
If you look at the badge chest/gloves or tier chest/gloves as an example, one is ilvl 251 the other ilvl 264. For a 25 man tank the tier pieces can be upgraded fairly quickly so they are in effect paying 95 badges for an ilvl 264 item. For a 10 man tank the upgrade to ilvl 264 is going to be a lot longer and the ilvl 264 item is probably better. It is plausible that a 10 man tank who does the weekly raid and a daily every day will have enough badges to buy the tier pieces once the tokens drop even if he buys the ilvl 264 pieces.
So my advice would be to objectively assess the speed at which you are going to be able to down H Saurfang and rate the tier gear appropriately.
Have been having similar discussions with many people in our 10m guild. At the moment I think the tier gear would be nice but I find it hard to justify spending emblems on an i251 tier item when I can spend the same emblems on an i264 one.
I have decided that most likely I will purchase the majority of the emblem gear before I will go anywhere near the tier gear. It will be a long time before I will be in regular 25's, so I wont be able to upgrade the i251 to i264 for some time anyway. There is also a chance of T10 dropping with Toravon in VoA.
I have chosen the path of higher survivability now with a possible improvement later.
We run only 10's and really haven't been doing hard modes and I've noticed that some of the fights are very tightly tuned without hard mode or 25's gear. The only way we have beaten Saurfang is by not allowing Mark to go off and getting the achievement and Festergut took bringing in a paladin for shadow aura (we don't have a priest or paladin in our regular roster) so the raid didn't explode during transitions from inhale to gas. People have to put in 110% or we don't get the kill. I guess that really means they are tuned correctly? Another two weeks worth of upgrades and it won't matter but until then it's rough and honestly a little frustrating.
I think what it really means is that gearing for survival is the only way to go and that everyone has to be on top of their gear and abilities the whole time.
Well, it IS the final content release of an expansion, AND it's the muther f'in lich king we're talking about here. Sunwell was largely not cleared by something like 90% of the wow population when it was current content because it was so difficult, ICC is already seeing higher numbers than 10% of people clearing it because of the advent of hardmodes/regular modes. I expect < 10% of players probably getting through all of it in Hardmode when it releases, but >75% of the people seeing at least regular mode lich king sounds reasonable and probably what blizz is gunning for. So yes, expect things to be hard, and even more so when heroic modes are released.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
My guild started doing 10 man naxx clears, then shifted to weekly 25 man naxx clears. In Ulduar we mostly did 10 man raids, with a couple of (not overtly successful) interguild 25 mans. In ToC we only did 10s but several of us did 25s outside of guild. I can't yet say anything about 25 man ICC, but otherwise in my experience there's no difference in min/maxing gear choices, enchants, etc between the two. Speccing can be a bit different In a 25 man raid you may be able to assume you'll have Imp Demo Shout, which let's you put more points into threat talents. In most of our 10 man raids I have to have a survival spec that has all of those utility talents, and my DPS/threat suffer as a result. But then the DPS are in 10 man raid gear and are not knocking out 10k DPS on non-gimmick fights, so it's been ok so far.

NHTSA expands Toyota fire probe to 1.4M cars and trucks
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jun 18th, 2012 at 2:00PM
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has grown its investigation into certain Toyota models to cover a full 1.4 million cars and trucks. Reuters reports the government safety agency has upgraded the investigation to a full-blown engineering analysis, which may eventually lead to a recall. NHTSA has received a number of complaints concerning fires tied to models built between September 2006 and August 2008 that use the same power window master switch design. All told, customers have reported nine injuries and 161 crashes or fires, though no deaths have been tied to the... Read More

One of their articles was a report on 3D printing and how this is actually becoming an integral part of manufacturing in that the actual printing is mass producing parts and components.Read more ⇢

The release of COMSOL 4.3 is a big deal. My colleagues have been working very hard on this release, and lately water cooler conversations have been less about sporting events and more about what's coming in version 4.3, and when it will be ready. Many are saying that this is "our best release yet". Now it's finally time to unveil what the fuss around version 4.3 is all about — and we bring it to you first via the COMSOL […]Read more ⇢

Perfect fit
By Kate
from NY
About Me Casual
Comments about 7 For All Mankind The Second Skin Slim Illusion Skinny in Elasticity Clean Blue:
Fits very tight. I have very little curve and wear a 27. The jeans still fit really tight around hip (in a good way).But after I wore these jeans for about a month, I found the fabric around hip area got thinner. I'm really afraid it will split one day...I'm a relatively skinny person, and I never force myself into clothes that are too small to me. And I think their regular jeans with more cotton in it are more comfortable than these slim illusion jeans.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perfect Jeans!
By Sinikat
from Seattle, WA
About Me Eclectic, Sexy, Trendy
This jean feels and looks absolutely amazing on. There is lots of stretch so the jean not only supports but also moves with me. I do yoga in them as they are more comfortable than my yoga pants. At the end of the day I am reluctant to take them off... they are so comfortable. The color is almost black and the denim is a nice thickness for the cooler months. Made with very high quality denim which maintains shape. Yeah! No baggy, sloppy knees or pulling up my jeans all the time!!! I am 5'2" 110 pounds and 25 is a perfect fit. Of all my jeans, these "Second Skin-Slim Illusion Skinnys" are easily my favorite. I'm hooked.
Amazing Jeans!!
from Seattle
About Me Casual, Eclectic
I thought my other Seven Skinnies were comfortable and figure flattering but this "Second Skin Slim Illusion" jean is off the chart in comfort and fit. I absolutely adore these jeans which are my most favorite jeans of all time! The high quality fabric is a thicker and more substantial than my other 7's making it a good selection for the cooler Fall and Winter months. I cannot get over the fabric which holds me in like a girdle, but is more like a figure flattering, comfortable second skin. WOW!!! I had also debated as to whether to get the new mid rise but now glad I got these instead. I am 5'2" 110 pounds with a short mid-section. Size 25 is a perfect fit with the waist coming to 1.5 inches below my belly button. Length is a little long which will look great to stack around the ankles or wear under boots. Otherwise the ankle jeans w/28 inch inseam is perfect coming right below the ankle with no stacking. The color "Elasticity Clean Blue" is a uniformly dark, almost black color, ideal to dress up. I am now looking forward to getting a lighter blue boot cut made with this amazing slim illusion stretch fabric but did not see any that would work for a petite frame without getting 4 plus inches hemmed, losing the overall flare look. Please, please make more jeans in this Second Skin-Slim Illusion" geared toward petite frames. Highly recommend this jean for all age women!!!!! (I am 57)

I am frustrated and hope someone can help me out. Please.
I had to transfer all my pics and my scrapbook stuff to my new Seagate Free Agent Go Flex 1 tb EHD today. It took me over 5 hours to do so and that was just for the scrapbook stuff. Any way, after the transfer was complete, I opened my PSP program (which worked fine yesterday) and PSP froze. I uninstalled and reinstalled PSP 3 times today to no avail. It still froze. I cussed it out several times and got mad and just walked away from it.
I unplugged the new EHD and my PSP opens and works fine. There is a conflict somewhere between the 2 programs somewhere and it's driving me crazy.
Has anyone ever had a problem with this sort of thing and if so what did you do?
Any help would be great...
Thank you so much

We went to the second of 3 sold out nights that Kenny played at Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Denver, CO. Even though it poured rain the entire night, I don't think anyone left early! We had a great time. Billy Currington and Uncle Kracker were great opening acts. Kenny put on an awesome show, had a lot of energy, a great set list and the whole audience was very into it. We were drenched by the end of the night, but it was a very memorable night. We will be attending every future Kenny Chesney show in CO. Already have our tickets for July, 2012!!

This has been the best concert I have been to I just saw George Straight and Reba and didn't think it could get better than that
I was wrong Kenney is as good. The Zac Brown was phenominal their talent if overwhelming and entertaining
Just a Great concert
[15 of 27 customers found this review helpful]
The tailgating and social aspect prior to and during the show is great. Kenny is an engaging performer who puts his heart and earnest best into every show. My wife and I have seen Kenny many times and in many different venues. The ticket price is worth it just to see him. The artist that open for him are the best in the business which just adds that much more value.
[22 of 28 customers found this review helpful]
Anyone who loves Kenny loves Kenny. Always the rush of the next song. Never stop dancing and singing. Would see him anywhere. Las Vegas 2009 was crazy He is always amazing. Almost cried when I thought no tour this year. I am going both nights!

NBC shuts down EveryBlock hyperlocal community news site
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com February 7, 2013 11:10AM
Updated: March 10, 2013 6:17AM
EveryBlock, the Chicago-based Web data pioneer, announced Thursday that it has shut down.
In a blog post, the site said: "Within the world of neighborhood news there's an exciting pace of innovation yet increasing challenges to building a profitable business. Though EveryBlock has been able to build an engaged community over the years, we're faced with the decision to wrap things up."
EveryBlock.com was created by Chicagoan Adrian Holovaty, made possible by a $1.1 million grant awarded in May 2007 by the Knight Foundation as part of the Knight News Challenge. At its beginning, the site amassed public information from nine different cities and presented detailed news about very specific locations.
By entering an address, neighborhood or ZIP code in those cities, users could access recent public records, news articles and other geographically relevant Web content.
In 2009, the site was sold to MSNBC.com as part of its investment into "hyperlocal" news and information. By that time, EveryBlock had expanded beyond Chicago to 15 cities including New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Boston.
NBC News took ownership last year after acquiring MSNBC.com.
NBC News Chief Digital Officer Vivian Schiller said Thursday that the site, which was operating in the red, was no longer viable for the company.
"As we continue to grow and evolve the NBC News Digital portfolio, we are focused on investing in content, products and platforms that play to our core strengths. . . . In the end, we didn't see a strategic fit for EveryBlock within the portfolio," she told staff in a letter forwarded by spokeswoman Meghan Pianta.
Schiller later told the Chicago Sun-Times that EveryBlock simply "did not have a sustainable business model. None of this is a knock on the talent and creativity of the EB staff and the work they did, nor the value the site provided to communities."
Holovaty, who left EveryBlock in August 2012, wrote on his blog that he was "very saddened" by the NBC News decision.
"The last time I talked with an NBC News representative, at a conference a few months after I left EveryBlock, he indicated that NBC was optimistic about the site's future," Holovaty wrote.
Holovaty said the site had 10 employees, all of whom were let go. But Schiller told the Sun-Times that NBC News would help them find other positions in the company.
Many site users and industry observers were surprised and disappointed.
"This was so sudden. No warning. Does not make sense," Giovina Romandine of Portage Park wrote on the site. "Is there anything similar out there? I will need my EveryBlock fix!"
Charlie Meyerson, a Roosevelt University adjunct professor and longtime Chicago radio and Web journalist, wrote on Holovaty's blog: "The journalism world owes you and your (former) colleagues a debt of gratitude for blazing this trail. EveryBlock won't be forgotten, and its work will light the way for others to follow."
Others took Schiller to task for the sudden shutdown.
"Is there a reason your team couldn't alert users to a transitional period? A heads up? Some respect for the community?" user Blagica Bottigliero complained in one of several angry tweets that fans of the site fired off at Schiller.
Schiller tweeted in response: "I'm a big believer in Adrian's original vision and the EB team. It was a tough call."

WASHINGTON - Do you have rock star dreams, but don't know how to make them come true?
The folks behind The Vinyl District and the D.C. Record Fair might have a solution for one unsigned band or artist.
"We'll master, press, design, print, package, and deliver 500 copies of your winning [7 inch] single. On us," The Vinyl District announced on its website Tuesday.
Interested artists from any genre should submit two tracks, one for an A side and another for a B side. A panel of judges will select the top five submissions, and then bring in celebrity judges - including The Posies' Ken Stringfellow and singer-songwriter Nicole Atkins - to determine the winner, which will be announced April 23rd.
"We're looking for a stand out, knock them dead single," says The Vinyl District's Jon Meyers. "I want to hear The Undertones, Teenage Kicks, 'My Sharona.' Things like that."
Aside from discovering new talent, the contest is also an opportunity for Meyers to showcase The Vinyl District's new label, TVD Records. The winning single will be the label's first release.
"We often hear younger bands and individual artists say 'Well, you know, I'd love to press something to vinyl, but it's just too expensive,'" Meyers says. "With that in mind, we thought, 'Why not do it ourselves?'"
Because this will be the label's first release, Meyers is after "music with a bang," he says.
"Just give us a killer single," he says. "It can be jazz, it can be bluegrass, folk, but just excel in that genre."
The last day to submit is April 15. Click here for instructions.

Android phones come in all different shapes, sizes, and feature sets. With such a steady stream of excellent handsets, this list updates often. And to find other great phones, check out our list of the best phones overall.
1. Samsung Galaxy S5
Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design.
Price: $199.99 – $749.99
2. Samsung Galaxy S5 Active
Though it's only marginally more durable than the original Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Active's physical buttons and high-end features keep it in Samsung's hit parade.
Price: $0.00 – $749.99
3. Sony Xperia Z2
Sure, it costs a bundle, but the Sony Xperia Z2 is everything you should expect from a top-end phone. Its impressive performance rivals the Samsung Galaxy S5 for smartphone top dog, but the Z2's slick glass and metal design trumps the S5's plastic body.

4. HTC One M8
The HTC One M8 packages powerful quad-core specs, two rear-facing cameras, and a bright 1080p screen in a beautiful, all-metal design.
Price: $149.99 – $749.99
5. Samsung Galaxy Note 3
Though its plastic skin doesn't do its high price justice, Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 makes the most compelling case yet for a supersize phone.
Price: $99.99 – $799.99
6. Google Nexus 5
Strong performance, high-end specs, and an ultra-affordable price make the Google Nexus 5 not just the best unlocked phone on the market, but the best Nexus phone by far.
Price: $99.99 – $449.99

Fruit Description
The fruit of the Gingko is 3/4" to 1-1/2" in size and tan in color. Some complain of the mess and odor and recommend planting only the male of the species.
Rate of growth refers to the vertical increase in growth unless specified differently. Rate, as is true for size, is influenced by numerous variables such as soil, drainage, water, fertility, light, exposure, ad infinitum. The designation slow means the plant grows 12" or less per year; medium refers to 13 to 24" of growth per year; and fast to 25" or greater.Manual of Woody Landscape Plants, by Michael Dirr.
