Julie is running the 2014 Boston Marathon in honor of her mother who lost her long battle with cancer, her son who has endured a lengthy battle with ulcerative colitis and for all of those affected by the bombings last year. She tore her Achilles training to qualify for Boston in 2013, but recovered to complete an Iron Man. She will run thinking of the courage and strength of her mother and son.

Patrick Walsh (Princeton, NJ)
Patrick spent a good portion of the 2013 Boston Marathon running alongside a fellow Team Eye and Ear member. He explains, "I had one of those great bonding experiences that runners cherish. Ben's incredible story of why he was running for Team Eye and Ear was absolutely inspiring. It was an honor - and great fun - to run with him that day." Patrick takes pride and satisfaction in the fundraising he has completed as a member of Team Eye and Ear. Although he re-qualified on his own for the 2014 race, he rejoins Team Eye and Ear to give back, and continue to raise funds for research and cures at Mass Eye and Ear.

Katherine Warren (Washington, DC)
Katherine Warren is returning to Team Eye and Ear in 2014 to achieve her goal of finishing the Boston Marathon.

She is now seriously considering pursuing trauma surgery in medical school because of the experience. A Policy Analyst with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Katherine loved running with the 2013 team and is grateful to run for Mass. Eye and Ear. Her father and his family have struggled with hearing loss and impairment.

Sylvia Warren (Cambridge, MA)
Sylvia was running with her sister Katherine in the 2013 Boston Marathon. They were stopped just short of the finish line when the Boston Marathon bombings occurred. In the hectic aftermath, they walked the four miles home to campus to round out the day with a total of 30 miles. They are back this year to cross the finish line together, in honor of the victims of last year's tragedy and support the lifesaving work of Mass. Eye and Ear. The Warren's father spent a significant amount of time at the hospital after he experienced a series of retinal detachments, emergency surgeries and vision loss. He will be at the finish line to cheer his daughters on.

Chelsea White (Marblehead, MA)
Chelsea, a kindergarten teacher, will be running her first marathon this April. Her fiancé works for Mass. Eye and Ear and encouraged her to join Team Eye and Ear to raise funds to help the hospital continue to provide the best possible care to patients in need and to continue to advance cutting edge technology. A Boston sports fan, she loves tennis, soccer and basketball. Chelsea will be running with her Dad, who was not able to finish last year's race as a result of the tragic finish line bombings. She says, "Running the marathon has become a goal to not only complete something I never thought I would be able to, but raise money to help people who really need it."

Brittany Williams (Boston, MA)
*Mass. Eye and Ear employee
Brittany returns to Team Eye and Ear in 2014 for her second Boston marathon. Unable to continue past mile 25.8 last year, she is grateful for the opportunity to finish what she started in 2013. She will run alongside her brother, Patrick Williams, a new 2014 Team Eye and Ear member. Brittany explains, "The events that occurred that day helped us learn to cherish each day. Our relationships with family and friends have grown stronger and running continues to motivate us." Brittany, a pediatric ENT nurse at Mass. Eye and Ear, cares for children with airway disorders. She will be raising funds for Operation Airway, which consists of a group of specialists who travel to Ecuador. These physicians, nurses, anesthesiologists and others, perform life-changing airway reconstructive surgery and postoperative care to children who cannot breath or speak on their own.

Patrick Williams (Londonderry, NH)
Patrick runs for his hero, his grandmother Kay Porter. The two were together at the finish line during last year's horrific tragedy, while waiting for his sister to finish her first Boston marathon. Patrick says, "My grandmother was as brave as any that day. I would not be the person I am today without her, and she solidified and reiterated that notion within me on April 15th, 2013." Patrick was inspired to join Team Eye and Ear after the events of that tragic day, and also after witnessing his sister's passion for her job. Brittany is a pediatric nurse, on Dr. Hartnick's team, at Mass. Eye and Ear. "She is truly passionate about her job and cares deeply about the people she works with, so it has inspired me to help her in making a difference this year with Team Eye and Ear." This April marks Patrick's second marathon and first Boston Marathon.

U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition
While the U.S. economy showed clear signs of recovery in 2012, there were enough mixed signals to make vacation decisions difficult for many Americans. Through a longitudinal analysis, Phocuswright's U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition examines traveler behavior along each step of the travel planning process - from the media travelers rely on to make destination and product decisions, to the channels they use to book and share their trip experiences. Key metrics include frequency and duration of trips, travel expenditure and travel component purchases, and travel intentions for the coming year.

text: 4 Very Good tranfer - DTS HD not at its bestTerminator20006 | 17/09/2009 | See all Terminator20006's reviews (5)There's no point arguing about whether the movie is good or bad or average...tastes and colour...What matters to Blu-Ray buyers is the image quality and HD sound feeling.In terms of image, and contrarily to what the first reviewer thinks...it is a very strong transfer, blacks are solid, contrasts are good and colours can be vibrant when desired. The whole atmosphere is dark, so is the colour range, a bit sombre at times and not overly bright, it is clearly how the director wanted it. As for grain, it's minimal, almost none.The only reason i wouldn't give the disc a 5 stars is the DTS HD soundtrack that fails to deliver the punch I felt with Knowing or Transporter III

Eileen West Cherries In Snow Nightgown 6 6
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!! My daughter wanted this for her birthday. Couldn't have been more pleased. She loved the print and the softness. March 4, 2014
Sweet and Cozy Nightgown This gown exceeds expectations. It is very well-made, with excellent features like deep pockets in the side seams, quality lace trim, and careful stitching and workmanship throughout. I like the print a lot -- it is warm and playful, a nice mood brightener on a wintery night. As for the sleeves, they are a bit shorter than my other Eileen West gowns, but the ruffled style looks cute and matches the pretty ruffle on the hem. I enjoy Eileen West gowns because they don't cut corners in making a quality product year after year. Their gowns are way above average in all the features I really care about and the sizing is generous and flattering for the plus size figure. Just keep on making them, Eileen! February 20, 2014
Sleeves are too short! The nightgown fits except in the arms. The elastic is too tight and the sleeves are too short. Doesn't fit comfortably above the elbow or below the elbow. I might take the elastic out and just let it hang. January 5, 2014
Lovely and soft This nightgown is very pretty and soft - even softer after the first wash. The fit is generous. December 21, 2013
Nice quality fabric but poor fit This is a very pretty nightgown in good quality flannel. The fit is off, though, meaning a size medium is enormous, and the small (that I ended up with after returning the medium) is sized for someone who is pear-shaped (small shoulders, large middle, and short arms). I suggest the store ask the manufacturer to conform its sizes to the norm. December 14, 2013
I love all the products you offer.... I wany them all ! The Vermont Country store is unique with so much to offer...It is a family owned and operated business and they are so friendly and helpful and efficient ! I Love the catalog, and the ease of ordering online, I will always use it as my "GO To Site"....Thanks Guys you are awesome, and so are the products you offer...My most recent order, "Eileen West Cherries In Snow Print" A Beautiful, full length flannel night gown, was for a very sick young lady and It brought light, Love and quality right to her door step...Thank you for all that you do..

This perfume is the equivalent to "Hadrien Absolu", previous name for this concentration. For an even more intense trail, we recommend you to apply the perfumed body cream of the same fragrance.

"With a big crop and to have this type of quality, it's kind of a blessing," he said. "It makes things that much easier to deal with."
Sales in the bag
High-graphic handled pouches also appear to be taking the industry by storm. Many grower-shippers say the stand-up, pleated bags have become the norm and have displaced older cloudy slider bags in most markets in just the few short years since they were introduced.
"It just displays so much better and it's so much cleaner — it's just a nicer bag," Wikum said. "I don't expect to pack any zip bags next year."
Stockton has seen a similar response at retail.
"It's become a high-demand item across the board in the table grape industry," he said. "We've seen a significant increase over the last two years, and this year it's a dominate factor in the marketplace."
Nevertheless, Stockton described the pouches as a double-edged sword. Although they do display the grapes better, they also cost significantly more than the old slider bags.
Even if retailers request slider bags, Matoian said they want the newer, clear ones that lend themselves to colorful printing and better showcasing the fruit.
Depending on the style, some handleless slider bags also have pleats on the bottom, allowing for stand-up displays.

The iPhone on a Boat
You Have a Lifejacket, Shouldn't Your iPhone?
Speaking from experience (unfortunately) we know that when you're in a boat with an iPhone, it's far more likely that the phone will accidentally take a tumble into the water than you will. And, the Coast Guard requires that there's a life jacket for you. Doesn't it make a lot of sense to have a LifeProof LifeJacket for your phone?
Of course it does.
When you're properly equipped it's not a problem to take an iPhone on a boat. Like the guy who makes fishing videos from his kayak and posts them to YouTube - they're popular enough to make him a little money. But, the money he makes is not enough to replace his iPhone every time he drops it in the water.
Few things are worse than the sinking feeling you get when you pull out your iPhone on a boat to take a quick picture or video, when you know there's a decent chance it's going to go into the water. Sometimes that fear even prevents us from using our iPhones on a boat and that's downright sad. After all, Facebook and Instagram need those photos!
The solution to this problem is easy; combine a waterproof iPhone case with a LifeProof LifeJacket. With this setup you can get right down next to the water and snap photos of your friends as they struggle to get up on water skis for the first time. Or, when your kid catches their first fish, you'll capture moments on video that your family will cherish for years.
These LifeJackets are extremely well designed. They go on and off in a snap. They're molded from a foam that is soft, easy to work with and extremely buoyant. Plus, the foam is a bright orange color, so if you drop your iPhone overboard, you have no trouble spotting it and keeping it in your sight.
A surefire recipe for fun is to take life and add water. With the LifeProof LifeJacket, your iPhone safely comes along for the ride.
To sum up all of these advantages, here's what we'd say:
- Your iPhone is more likely to go overboard than you are
- Fear of dropping your iPhone into the water makes you hesitant to use it
- A LifeProof LifeJacket keeps your phone floating high and easily visible
- Protected by a LifeJacket you can confidently use your iPhone when you're on the water
