Harper Lee
Associated Press
Harper Lee was the author of one book, but it was a book that had an extraordinary impact on American society: "To Kill a Mockingbird,'' one of the best-selling novels of all time.
Ms. Lee grew up in Monroeville, Ala., where as a child she formed a lifelong friendship with Truman Capote.
Writing in The New York Times Book Review in 2006, Garrison Keillor summed up Ms. Lee's rise to fame: "A tomboy from Monroeville, Ala., editor of her college humor magazine, The Rammer Jammer, and law school dropout, she took it on the lam to New York, got a job, made friends and managed to write a novel that hit the best-seller lists and stayed there, won a Pulitzer, got made into a major movie and became a staple of high school English along with "Romeo and Juliet" and "The Great Gatsby." Total sales are somewhere around 30 million, and it continues to sell hundreds of thousands of copies a year."
The book tells the story of Atticus Finch, a lawyer in a small southern town whose family is ostracized when he defends a black man accused of raping a white woman.
She worked on two other books but never completed them. She divided her time between New York and Monroeville and developed a reputation as one of the most reclusive writers in the history of American letters.

Quiet, Please; Chicago Is Reading. The Same Book at the Same Time.
In a radical effort to pull an entire city away from video screens and into the pages of literature, Chicago officials are asking every adult and adolescent in the city to read the same book at the same time. The book they have chosen is Harper Lee's powerfully anti-racist novel, ''To Kill a Mockingbird,'' which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1961.August 28, 2001 artsNews
Long Lives the Mockingbird
In Monroeville, Ala., where Harper Lee and Truman Capote once raced by Boo Radley's house as children, the 1903 courthouse still rises in the square, its bell tower, now electrified, chiming the hours. After a new courthouse was built in the 1960's, this one was marked for demolition. But citizens who prized the landmark and its role in ''To Kill a Mockingbird'' -- as a fictional setting of Harper Lee's novel and the model for the courtroom in the movie of the same name -- managed to preserve it.August 9, 1998 artsNews
A 'New Foreword' That Isn't
For millions of American readers who have loved "To Kill a Mockingbird," the prospect of a few more words from Harper Lee, its silent and mysterious author, is thrilling. Since the novel appeared in 1960, Ms. Lee, an Alabama native, has not produced a single book for publication. Though she gave interviews when the film version of "Mockingbird" was released in 1962, she has since closed her shutters to the public, refusing to talk to journalists or make public appearances.August 23, 1995 artsNews

Jan 9 - According to Abound Resources recent survey of community bank executives, CEOs of community banks are much more pessimistic going into 2013 than they were going into 2012. The primary driver of the pessimism is an increasingly difficult regulatory environment.
In 2012, despite uncertainty about the economy and regulations, CEOs felt they could plan for the impact of regulations. However, going into 2013 they are concerned about increasing regulations, uncontrolled powers of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and increasing inconsistency among bank examiners.
This year CEOs are decidedly more pessimistic than they have been since we launched our annual survey four years ago, said Brad Smith, president and CEO of Abound Resources. More than one-third (36 percent) of bank CEOs report they are either very or somewhat pessimistic about their banks' outlook for 2013. In 2012, only 21 percent were pessimistic and none were very pessimistic. Only about one-quarter (28 percent) are optimistic or very optimistic about 2013, compared to 45 percent in 2012.
Other major issues of concern are a weak economy and loan demand. Both of these factors were mentioned by 67 percent of CEOs as major concerns in 2013.
In terms of setting growth priorities for 2013, growing commercial loans, growing mortgages and mortgage originations and increasing market share among the small business segment were the top three.
On the operating side of the equation, priorities are consistent with prior year surveys in that streamlining work flows and increasing operational and technology efficiencies are the primary focus.
It appears 2013 is the year of workflow improvements. In 2012, streamlining workflows was cited by 45 percent of CEOs as a priority, second to improving efficiency ratios and becoming more efficient (64 percent). This year, workflow is the number one efficiency and cost saving priority for CEOs (60 percent), followed closely by improving the efficiency ratio (58 percent).
According to Smith, There is a built-up demand for improving workflow since so few banks made workflow improvements last year. Workflow improvement projects are tricky as middle management is often resistant to changing how they work, or they dont know how to make changes beyond a few tweaks.
A complimentary copy of a white paper analyzing the complete survey results is available for download at www.AboundResources.com.

The 2012 summer growing season has brought with it the worst U.S. drought in more than 20 years. Lack of rain and extreme heat have affected most of the continental United States, including a majority of the states in which crops are produced. To put the issue in context, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced these statistics in July:
The above statistics lead to an expectation that 2012 crop supplies will be less, and lower supply leads to several issues for our nations farmers.
Potentially helping to mitigate some of the risk associated with the 2012 season is the fact that many crop farmers are coming off a record-high year in 2011 and could potentially be better prepared to weather the oncoming storm. In addition, many farmers have revenue crop insurance protecting approximately 65 percent to 85 percent of their anticipated revenue streams, which could allow them to experience some benefit from the increased prices. The government also has announced steps to provide aid to livestock farmers through a USDA meat purchase of up to $170 million. The USDA is approved to buy as much as $100 million of pork, $50 million of chicken and $10 million each of lamb and catfish to aid farmers.
Banks should take a proactive approach in determining their exposure through lending to agricultural and agriculture-related industries. Here are some items to consider when determining exposure:
If management determines the bank has exposure through agricultural lending, it will be important to assess the risks associated with the 2012 drought on the bank. Some key risks to consider could include:
Ultimately, the bank should thoroughly document its agricultural risk position in light of the 2012 drought. The effect this has on allowance for loan losses also should be documented, including why (or why not) increased provisions to the allowance might be justified, i.e., through an environmental factor adjustment and or specific allocations for specific credits.

An important update to field rules/ safety checks Masks should be inspected by refs prior to games
Posted 07 August 2009 - 07:02 AM
This would be time consuming, but I feel it is needed. I have seen problems with masks occur too many times. I have seen: masks knocked off by headshots due to loose fits, masks breaking due to old cracks, straps ripping due to brush, broken plastic from masks cutting faces and many other problems. This is important to keep players returning to play again. People won't play if they see this happen to someone else on their first day.
The test would be conducted with a check list.
It would work as follows.
Proper fit Check/ fail
No large tears in straps check/fail
No cracks in lens check/fail
No cracked plastic on any part of mask check/fail
If the mask passes all points, the player is given a sticker to put anywhere on the mask. Something small and green. This way the refs know who did and did not get tested.

Let me put it to you like this. working as a field manager, with 3 refs and my 2 registration girls (who were often late) I had to get a five man Xball field set up, I had to get the airfill stations ready to go, and I had to get paint and rentals offloaded and setup. that's with less than an hour to do all of it. it takes two bodies 45 minutes or so to set up the xball field, and two bodies upwards of the same amount of time to get rentals offloaded and squared away.
We had enough time, during the breif, to chrono everyone in, and that was about it. We looked after our masks at our store- no time and few replacement parts at the field- but we didn't have the time to look after Personally owned stuff our players brought in. Besides that, it'd have added one more item to an already fairly heavy workload (three refs was ideal- more often, it was just myself and one ref) that would have just made it that much harder to manage.
We ran to the sounds of the thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
and tore the world asunder.

I am NOT an advocate of adding more responsibility on fields that are already typically under-staffed and by people that are often under-trained.
Just to be clear...I agree completely with your checklist...but players should be taking care of checking those things themselves.

MWC 14 Special
Today's announced HTC RE, which was so far rumored to be HTC's competitor to the GoPro camera, is everything but an action camera. I would call it a "convenience camera" which comes closer to the Flip cameras, some of you might remember. Quite typical for HTC, the RE comes with a stunning yet minimalist cylindrical design, which reminds a little bit on a kitchen sink or inhalator (and with its 96.7 x 26.5 mm, and a weight of 65.5 grams, it's roughly the same size even if it's a little bit heavier). Thanks to this design, the RE is made to be held naturally and comfortably in the palm of a hand and it allows to never worry again about missing a moment by fumbling between modes, as RE's built-in grip sensor instantly activates the camera as it's picked up.
Right together with HTC's Desire Eye launch, HTC also announced today its latest non-smartphone product - the HTC RE. This remarkable little "convenience" camera comes with a stunning yet minimalist cylindrical design, RE is made to be held, and fits naturally and comfortably in the palm of a hand. It allows to never worry again about missing a moment by fumbling between modes, as RE's built-in grip sensor instantly activates the camera as it's picked up, eliminating the need for a power button. Its large, tactile shutter button captures photos with a single tap and videos with a longer press, making it fun and super-easy to capture high-quality, creative imagery or video.
At today's launch event in New York City, HTC introduced a suite of new imaging products which includes a new Android smartphone, a "convenience" camera and new Android software. Continuing HTC's heritage of breakthrough smartphone innovation, the HTC Desire Eye is a smartphone with most likely one of the best front-facing cameras available on the market today. It captures life's big and small moments in perfect clarity by sporting market-leading 13 megapixel front and rear cameras for detailed image quality that allows to zoom, crop and print without compromise, the HTC Desire Eye is fully equipped for those who love to take great photos, videos and selfies.
Back in early April, Microsoft's handset division (formerly known as Nokia) announced not only the company's latest budget friendly Windows Phone but also the first available Windows Phone 8.1 - the Nokia Lumia 630. As the model number indicates, the Lumia 630 is a budget friendly entry level smartphone which is nevertheless and interesting device for smartphone and/or Windows Phone newsbies as well as for customers which don't have too high expectations but don't want to miss key features. Therefore is the Lumia 630 powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400quad-core CPU at 1.2 GHz and while it lacks support of LTE, it supports quadbang GSM/GPRS/EDGE at 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and dualband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at 900/2100 MHz. Also onboard are Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi /b/g/n at 2.4.
Earlier this week, HTC has finally unveiled the HTC One mini 2, the latest addition to its renowned HTC One-family of Android smartphones and the successor of last year's HTC One mini. Running on Android 4.4.2 KitKat with HTC Sense 6, the One mini 2 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core CPU at 1.2 GHz. It features a compact, yet generous 4.5" 720p HD display. Like the HTC One (M8) and unlike its forerunner, the HTC One mini 2 brings the iconic metal craftsmanship of the M8 to those in search of a "more compact model" - if you call a 4.5" display more compact. In terms of connectivity the One mini 2 is everything but mini by supporting quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, quadband UMTS/HSPA+ at 850/900/1900/2100 MHz and either quadband (EMEA) or pentaband (Asia) LTE CAT 4. Also onboard are Bluetooth 4.0 LE with aptX and WiFi a/b/g/n at 2.4 and 5 GHz as well as NFC, GPRS and GLONASS support.

A person (typically male) who refuses to engage in normal romantic relationships. They are sometimes referred to as "emotionally unavailable" and tend to lie, cheat and manipulate women until the woman is whipped into a state of complete confusion and suicidal tendencies. Often times the unsuspecting female is initially lured by very romantic, passionate, hot behavior only to be met with ice once she starts to expect some of the lies the assclown has dished out.

Gun control continues to be a hot button issue for many in New York State. With many urging a repeal, there is a rally planned at the state Capitol next week. Nick Reisman has more on the latest opposition to the law and the governor's reaction.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- It's been nearly a month since New York adopted the first gun control laws in the country following the Connecticut school shooting that killed 20 children and six adults. Now rallies for and against the law are being planned next week at the Capitol and proposals to change the law are emerging. Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose popularity dipped according to a Quinnipiac poll last week, praised legislators for voting yes, comparing it to his father Mario Cuomo's stance opposing the death penalty.
"The legislators did show political courage akin to the courage that it took to oppose the death penalty, I think that's true," Cuomo said.
A Siena College poll shows that a broad majority of New York voters back the gun control law and its expansion of the assault weapons ban, along with a reduction in high-capacity magazine rounds. The governor said in a radio interview Thursday that those who oppose the law are outnumbered.
Cuomo said, "The opposition is a minority, but they are a vocal minority and an energized and organized minority, that's the NRA, and politically they are threatening."
And yet there's a realization that the gun control law cost political capital. Cuomo sent a letter to lawmakers last week praising their courage in voting yes.
Meanwhile, rallies for and against the law are planned for next Tuesday at the Capitol. The group One Million Moms For Gun Violence will hold a demonstration in support of the law. Another protest will include Republican lawmakers and the party's 2010 gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino. Here's Paladino at an anti-gun control rally in Buffalo from last month.
"I'm sure that the great majority who voted for this bill have no a clue what an assault weapon looks like," Paladino said.
Senate Republicans, meanwhile, plan changes to the law, including clarifying provisions for the high-capacity rounds and exempting law enforcement from the measure.
"As I reflect back, perhaps we did act in haste and you'll see at some point there will be amendments to fix some of the mistakes," Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos.
Senate Co-President Jeff Klein said at a forum in New York City this week that he is open to considering the carve out for law enforcement.

Visual Learning: To Dye For
Images, photos, and pictures stimulate the mind. For the viewer, they offer a chance to connect and question. They also offer potential for play and imagination, and pulling the observer into purposeful messages.
Most often, newspaper and magazine readers take a quick glance at photos and their captions. With this YES! lesson plan, you and your students can luxuriate—and pause—to truly understand an image, its message, and why it's interesting (or not).
Download this lesson plan as a PDF
Step One: What do you notice? (before the facts)
Ask your students to make sense of the photograph by trusting their instincts of observation and inference. In doing so, the photograph offers possibilities and interpretations beyond a typical reading where the reader glances at the picture to reinforce their interpretation of the picture's title or caption. Do not introduce any facts, captions, or other written words outside of the image. You may hear: rust- colored crocheted fabric, someone's hands, hanging hair, light brown bulb thing, string.
Step Two: What are you wondering? (thinking about the facts)
After you've heard what your students are noticing, you'll probably hear the peppering of questions: What is that bulb thing? Why is fabric wrapped around it? When it's all done, what will this thing become? Is this someone's special or traditional process? This is a good time to reveal the photo's caption, accompanying quote, and facts about the actual situation. Watch how the conversation shifts from what they believe to be true to discerning the facts about the photo.
- Photo caption:
Untitled, Mike Keefe, 2011. Digital Photo. "Kelp wrapped in a shirt was slowly unwound after being pulled from the dye vat."
- Photo Facts:
Untitled is part of a series of photos compiled by Rebecca Burgess, depicting the making of a "fibershed." Rebecca tried "the fibershed challenge"—to live for one year, in clothes made from fibers (and natural dyes) that are solely sourced within a geographical region no larger than 150 miles from her front door.
Author, educator, and textile artist Rebecca Burgess was inspired to take on this project because according to her website, "The textile industry is the number one polluter of fresh water resources on the planet." The World Bank has identified 72 toxic chemicals that have seeped into our water source solely from textile dyeing. Also, the average CO2 emitted for the production of one T-shirt is up to 40 times the weight of that shirt. Rebecca's goal is to show that "beauty and fashion can function hand-in-hand with sustainability, local economies, and regional agriculture."
Designers, farmers, ranchers, natural dyers, and ethnobotanists gathered on Drake's Beach in California to dye clothing with local and benign materials. In this particular photo, kelp is used to dip seawater-soaked fabric into a vat of dye. The reddish, orange, and pink tones were created with leaves, branches and toyon, a coastal sage shrub native to California.

VISIT :: Fibershed: Local Fibers, Local Dyes, Local Labor
READ :: Fibershed Moments
Step Three: What next? (jumping off the facts)
Learning more about a photo leads to bigger questions and an opportunity to discuss broader issues and perspectives.
- Before dyeing the fabric, Rebecca and her friends constructed most of the clothes themselves. How do you think your clothes were made? Has anyone ever made you clothes? Do you know how to sew or make a clothing item out of fabric? Are you willing to learn how?
- In the United States, less than 5 percent of clothing bought here is made here. Why do you think that is? Do you think it's important to know where your clothes are made? Why do you think it's important?
- The Chinese textile industry creates about 3 billion tons of soot each year, and a single mill can use about 200 tons of water for each ton of fabric it dyes. Millions of tons of unused fabric are burned or sent to landfills each year when dyed the wrong color. What do you do with the clothes you don't wear anymore? Have you ever swapped clothing with friends or donated it?
- Kelp is a form of seaweed and is found in large formations—kelp forests or kelp beds—in the Pacific Ocean, off the west coast of North America. Recently, kelp pills have been selling out on the West Coast since the nuclear disaster in Japan. People who are concerned about radiation from nuclear fallout look to kelp as part of their anti-radiation diet. Seaweed contains high levels of natural iodine which, when the thyroid absorbs it, prevents the thyroid from uptaking harmful levels of radioactive iodine.

Chevrolet Camaro production delayed one month, convertible lives
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Jan 9th, 2009 at 3:46PM
General Motors sent out a directive to dealers today announcing a one-month production delay for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. According to the message, the reason for the postponement (production is set to begin on Monday, March 16) is not due to any legal problems or the current issues faced by the General, and instead is a "result of GM's efforts to ensure the Camaro exceeds the highest quality benchmarks established by GM for a new product." A forum member at Camaro5 who supposedly obtained the document is also saying that the Camaro convertible, reported as dead back in November, will go... Read More

Graduates say farewell to South Adams
As family and friends filled the South Adams auditorium for the 2012 South Adams graduation, 86 seniors brought their high school careers to a close.
After welcoming those who attended the graduation and thanking the South Adams School Board for their leadership and service to the South Adams community, superintendent Scott Litwiller recognized the teachers for providing an education to the graduates, as well as the parents for partnering with South Adams Schools. He also gave some words of reminiscence and congratulations to the seniors.
"It just seems like a few months ago that we were in a middle school gymnasium in Geneva for your sixth grade graduation. Wow, how time has passed," said Litwiller.
The seniors were encouraged by their valedictorian, Scott Hoeppner and salutatorian, Jenna Smith to be the future, to never let someone tell you you can't, and to be world changers. They were reminded that money is not the only representation of success and were encouraged to focus on what's truly important in life, love and friendships. And they were challenged to be the best person you can be and never to conform to the world's ways.
South Adams High School principal Trent Lehman recognized some of the many successes of the class of 2012. In sports, he recognized the boys and girls cross country team for winning the ACAC conference, the boys cross country team for making it to semi-state, the boys track team for winning the ACAC conference, the wrestling team and senior Todd Batt, who made it further than any other South Adams wrestler to become a state runner-up, and the football team for their impressive 10-2 record, one of the best records in South Adams history, and Dustin Wanner who was ranked first in all-state football. He recognized the Dots in Blue Water project for continuing to personify excellence, the Skills USA and machine trades program for winning state and competing at national, and the band and choir for their many accomplishments and awards.
"The South Adams Class of 2012 exudes excellence," stated Lehman.
As the diplomas were being handed out, the first diploma was received by Austin Miller. At the 2011 graduation, a seat was saved for him with his picture on it. He was not able to attend the graduation, and it was unclear at that time whether Miller was going to make it to the 2012 high school graduation.
"One of our prayers was that Austin would walk across this stage and receive his diploma. That prayer is about to be answered," explained Lehman.
Miller received his diploma from Lehman and was given a standing ovation.
After the final diploma was handed out, the final tassel turned, and the last of the silly string covered the gymnasium floor, Kristen Lehman dismissed her fellow seniors for the last time with a benediction.
The class of 2012 government was JD Tarr, president; Jacob Werst, vice president; Kristen Lehman, secretary; and Lily Taing, treasurer. Their class flower was Forget-Me-Not. Class colors were gold and black, and the class song was Miracle of the Moment by Steven Curtis Chapman. The class motto from Antoine De Saint-Exupery was, "It is not for us to forecast the future, but to shape it."

2. Use a Light Pencil to Draw in the Line First
"This establishes your guideline," says Kashuk. "Then you just trace over that pencil sketch with your dark liner — it's so much less stressful!" Work the pencil right at the base of the lashes, and use short strokes — as opposed to one continuous, heavy line — to go from the inner to outer corner of each lid.

Entry-level Jaguar X-Type successor due in 2015, crossover a year later

First Ride: 2010 Honda Shadow RS - Just another Harley imitator, or something better?
by Rex Roy (RSS feed) on Apr 23rd, 2010 at 11:58AM
If you're interested in scraping pegs and hightailing out of apexes, you probably don't have much interest in cruisers. While some love the feet-forward, fist-to-the-wind riding position, others are more interested in outright speed and back-road handling. Of course, the average non-enthusiast thinks that the stars of the canceled-and-brought-back Orange Country Coppers were motorcycling's answer to NASA and that their bikes were fantastic machines. To put it nicely, they're wrong. For the most part, classic cruisers with long forks and hardtail rear ends are neither comfortable nor... Read More

Trellises fold for easy off-season storage. Reusable year after year, and they can also support tomatoes as well as cucumbers and other vining crops.
- Steel Gray is galvanized steel; Red and Green are powder-coated steel
- 9'-8" L x 64" H installed
- Trellises fold for off-season storage

- Actually Works Great
- Can Stand On Its Own

- Stands on its own
- Super easy setup
- Parts Can Separate
Best Uses
- Any Plant That Climbs
Fence works great. Easiest to set up with 2 people but 1 can set it up. Stands on its own but if used with heavy plants I suggest you add a support. As I get older it also get harder to set up the garden. This fence has been a lifesaver. Be careful when setting up the fence--not to let the parts separate. I tie then together to keep that from happening.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Sturdy
- Versatile
Best Uses
- Garden
- Planters
- Raised beds
Stack it and it's perfect for tall peas. Un-stack it and it's great for shorter vines. Place it around and enclose it in screen or garden fabric and it'll keep the rabbits out of your sprouting vegetables. Make a circle or a square or a triangle and it provides fencing for vining plants in raised beds. I need more of these!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Use for sugar snap peas in the spring, long beans in the summer and not sure what we'll use it for next! This is our first year with this, so can't comment on how hardy it is, but so far so good!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
The trellis can be separated, so it does not need to have each connection attached, but used separately for individual plants....great!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Great for raised beds
Best Uses
Great where space is at a premium. Well conceived.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Great for two plantings of peas -- one for now and one for later. Sturdy when combined with a couple of stakes.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
Nice and tall-for this reason stake it so it won"t lean
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- Easy assembly
- Strong sturdy
- none
Best Uses
- Pea's
Purchased this for our pea's. The trellis was easy to put up! No doubt we will be using this for years to come. I plan on ordering the taller one next year.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Expandable
- Super Simple Set Up
Best Uses
We decided to start some raspberries last year. So far, this is working very well. It seems sturdy and was certainly easy to install. We also like that there is expandability, since we have no idea what to expect with the two varieties we planted.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Folds Flat Easy To Store
- Tricky to put together
Best Uses
Bought this to use as a pole bean trellis. It was a little tricky to put together, but once I figured out the trick, was a piece of cake. You have to put the top/bottom sections together with it lying flat on the garage floor - hook one section at a time and then fold over to work on the next section. I used string to tie the sections together so it wouldn't be tempted to come apart as I carried it to the garden to place it. I like that you can either make a straight wall trellis or fold it back and fort to fit in a smaller space. Beans haven't climbed it yet, but looks and feels very sturdy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by vagamboree from Amaaaaaaazzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnggg!! These arm warmers are fantastic! I bought them go my clown costume/face painting and boy do they make a statement! I feel like they are a fabulous extension of my own artistic hands that I've been missing my whole life! My forearms are large and muscular (from work) and they fit well a little snug at the upper band which kept them in place for the whole birthday event my sister and I were working at. They were a bit snug overall when I first wore them but they have seemed to have broken in and molded perfectly to my shapes. The color is true to the pics (I ordered classic color scheme) and they are thick so they would definitely keep you warm if you live in a cold climate. Fantastic!!! Well worth the money!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tye Dye Junkie from Perfect for my "polar vortex" office I was looking for some arm warmers to wear at work, where the temperature is always about five degrees below comfortable. These have been the perfect solution; they keep my hands and arms warm when wearing a dress or shorter sleeves, and they also layer well under sweaters. The tye die colors are nice and vibrant, too. I did find that if I just hang dry them, they are a little uncomfortable on the webs between my fingers (even with liquid fabric softener), so I recommend hang drying them most of the way, then tossing them in the dryer on low for a few minutes to soften them up while still keeping them in good shape.

Rated 5 out of 5 by KittyKat from Great Colour! I bought these in EC Orange and Red and I'm so pleased that the colours are bold and vibrant, and not at all muddy. The length on the arms on me reaches my elbows without any problems, and there's a bit of stretch in them if you need them longer. I have small hands so they are loose in the wrists and the fingers go just over the first knuckle. I find them a bit snug around the elbow. They may not be the warmest for winter climates, but I intend to use them at the computer when it's cold out and I think they'll be perfect for that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by lovesgloves from The elegance of tie-dye in a durable glove! I bought my first pair of these tie-dye gloves a year ago- the maroon/blue combo. They quickly became my favorite gloves out of an entire drawer full of others! They are thick, durable, well made, and I LOVE the colors! I bought myself a second pair this winter-the blue/green ones. As a tie-dye artist myself, I hold the bar really high in terms of color fast-ness and combo-these totally rock in every category!

Rated 5 out of 5 by WigWitch from beautiful!!! the hardest part of this order was deciding on which color! My bf fell in love with the Mardi Gras pair so I ordered him a pair as well. He wears them almost daily and loves them to bits. The fit is great(we're built completely differently, but they fit us both), they have a lovely texture and the dye job is just amazing. These are just as beautiful as the photos. It's almost too warm to wear them now, but I'm pretty sure we'll still order a few more colors and save them for winter.

Rated 3 out of 5 by pandasheart from Awesome ... but Got these as a gift because I *might* be a fan of tie dye. I was squealing with delight right up until I put them on. I don't have huge hands (ladies large) but these feel like compression gloves on me. If your arms are thick, the band is binding - I end up wearing them as arm slouchies. Really? Arm slouchie compression gloves? C'mon! The cotton is much rougher than I would have expected. Haven't washed them yet, but I will be sticking to cold water because I fear shrinkage.
Date published: 2014-12-06
Rated 4 out of 5 by xanthvamp from Great For Layers I got these because I loved the rainbow tie dye. I am not disappointed; the colors are so brilliant, I just adore them. They are a little stiffer than I'd like, a bit scratchy, but I'm more of a fan of sleeves than gloves anyway. They fit very snugly, which at first I didn't like, but now that I've had them for a couple weeks and this Chicagoland Winter has been SO snowy, it turns out that snug fit is a PERFECT fit under another pair of gloves. Overall I am very pleased.
Date published: 2014-03-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by RedzMystery from These are perfect! My hands are always cold, and I'm constantly looking for fingerless gloves to keep them warm, but still be able to write and type. These are wonderful. They're bright and colorful so I love looking at them. They're long, so they keep not only my hands and wrists comfy, but my arms too. I'll be buying more soon!

Have you ever had to deal with those people who said: "Go ahead and give the loot to Johnny over there, I can wait." while they really desperately needed the gear much more than 'Johnny'? I've had to deal with such people in the past, and practically had to shove the gear pieces in them to accept, because they failed to understand that if they didn't accept a piece of gear every now and then, they'd become useless to the raid.
Of course there's the opposite end of the spectrum, where people that got their BiS list filled out, then totally disappeared, or requested to join raids on their alts.

The 94th Knock
In less than 72 hours, I've endured five flights, landed in four different cities and spent nearly $1,000 in the course of one weekend.
It was quite an adventure that contained its ups and downs, but looking back over these last 72 hours was it worth it?
This weekend, I flew to Los Angeles for a broadcast journalism program a friend had convinced me to attend.
It took a little nudging, but I finally gave in after I considered the amazing experience I had in New York City a year ago when I first delved into the world of TV news reporting.
Just two days ago, I was sitting at a camp site in Calabasas listening to seasoned professionals in the field of broadcast journalism discuss what it takes to break into the business.
At times what they said was a bit intimidating and even cynical, but one TV reporter's advice stood out above the rest and will likely stay with me for the rest of my life.
His advice applies not only to journalism careers but any single goal or life-long aspiration.
He spoke of a valuable lesson that we often hear, but just as often forget. A lesson emphasized in movies, TV and sports, but not so easy to enact in daily life.
Though I'm sure you've heard it once or twice, in honor of the very value this reporter was harping on I persist in telling you again.
If you want to unlock the door of opportunity, then know that the key lies in persistence.
The LA reporter spoke before the crowd on the significance of developing the vital characteristic and warned of the inevitable rejection that comes with the business. He assured that the word "no" would become ten times as common as the word "yes."
But those "no's," he insists, should never discourage us. Though sadly, when most people knock on the door of opportunity and hear the simple, two-letter word, they turn away and never look back.
Every once in awhile, he stated, you'll find the person who's willing to walk to the back door and try that as well. Yet alas, two "no'"s become two "no's" too many.
For a guy who's on one of the top TV talk shows in Los Angeles and often featured, albeit against his will, on the E! show "The Soup" when Joel McHale is satirizing him, if Steve Edwards says persistence is the secret to success, then chances are you better learn to develop a keen sense of the quality.
As Edwards advised, "Knock on the front door, the back door, the side door, the upstairs door and come back to the front door, because you can fail 93 times but all it takes is that one yes and 1 for 94 will get you in the door."
It's easier said than done, but if you truly want something, you have to keep knocking. Don't hold back, and don't take any form of rejection personal.
So what if one person doesn't see something in you? Someone else will, and when he or she gives you the green light, go full speed ahead.
As Edwards summed up his speech and ignited a fire in each of the bright-eyed, fresh-faced journalists sitting in the room, he paused for a second and spoke with an emphasis on each one of his parting words.
"If you want it, if you believe in yourself, and even on the days when you don't, you fake it, you'll get what you want."
It just takes persistence to barge through the door, and when someone tells you "no," shake it off and keep on trying. Be humble enough to ask them again, and even if you feel devastated and defeated by the answer, act unfazed; act like you own the place and believe deep down that one day you will.
I'm not yet where I intend to be in five years, but I can tell you I'm going to do exactly what I was told this weekend by Edwards. And five years from now, 100 or so knocks later, I trust I'll be on the other end of that door called opportunity.
It's a lesson that was drilled into dozens of aspiring journalists this weekend and one that everyone should have embedded deep within their brains.
When one door closes, another one opens. If no door opens, a window will open. And, if no window opens, find another door.
Or go back to the first one and knock the f*cking thing down.
