NEW YORK STATE -- We recognize handicapped signs when we see them, but those signs could soon change in New York State. Lawmakers are working on a bill to remove the current wording and image they say may be considered offensive.
Downstate Senator David Carlucci introduced a bill to remove the term "handicapped" from signs. The bill would also require the image on these signs to be changed from a figure sitting on a wheelchair to one leaning forward depicting a more mobile image.
Carlucci calls the term "handicapped accessible" outdated, which was coined by the A.D.A. more than 20 years ago.
"The idea is to take the word 'handicapped' out of the equation," said the Democrat from Clarkstown. "We need to show that places are accessible and live in an idea that we can move forward and able to go anywhere they'd really like."
If New York adopts the legislation, it would be the first state in the country to have the sign modified.

About Us
We are coffee roasters. We love what we do. Not just finding and roasting beans, but Bringing people great coffee experiences.
We are specialty coffee roasters, but with an independent view. Our peers take turns at repeating the story of where coffee comes from and how they make it. Asking customers and consumers to be educated on their coffee culture.
We approach specialty coffee differently. We don't just see it as part of coffee culture, we see coffee as part of culture, different cultures. The different cultures that grow the beans, of our team that create our coffee, the places where people experience our coffee and the different cultures of our customers.
We are a little different, and we are happy with that.
Our biggest project outside coffee roasting at the moment is "dc tunes" which is an initiative that supports local music and local venues by funding monthly gigs with unsigned local artists. Have a look at the Facebook page for up to date photos and details of dc tunes activities
So after more than 10 years we are still looking to get better every day – it's just what we do.
Call us; we are always open to coffee and a chat (especially if you want to talk coffee)

Joyce says Labor will 'just win'PUBLISHED: 21 Aug 2010 18:39:24 | UPDATED: 22 Aug 2010 04:22:04PRINT EDITION: 21 Aug 2010
Nationals Senate Leader Barnaby Joyce says he expects Labor to win the federal election.
"I think the Labor Party will just win, you have got to be a realist," Senator Joyce told The Sunday Mail at Brisbane airport on Saturday afternoon.
"I think Queensland is jack of the Labor party for many reasons, but I think because Victoria, she (Julia Gillard) is the home town girl, they will make a social statement.
"I don't think we are going to kick goals in Victoria and South Australia - there is not much you can do about it."
Senator Joyce, who is expected to be returned as a senator for Queensland, will appear on the Nine Network's election panel on Saturday night.

Grossly Fascinating
I wish I would have had a better camera when I took this picture. I took it years ago. This rose was just getting ready to bloom and a mass of baby spiders had made its home on it. Unfortunatly at the time I did not own a good camera, so this is the best shot I could get. Still, its facinating, and kinda gross at the same time!

3) Oregon State Beavers football
4) my dog, Beau
5) peppercinis

Happy Mothers Day
My boyfriend and I took my Mom out for a great lunch at McMenamins Edgefield yesterday. After eating, we walked around the extensive gardens they have. We spotted this cute birdhouse, and inside we could hear the peeping of baby birds. Sure enough, the mom popped her little head out the door and took off to find more food. My Mom suggested it would be the perfect posting for Mothers Day, and I agree.
Happy Mothers Day!!!

Ozzie Guillen firmly behind Ken Williams' return to White Sox

Mark Buehrle leaves a game against the Kansas City Royals in the seventh inning Thursday. | Ed Zurga~Getty Images

Updated: November 30, 2011 12:16AM
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Personal issues and past skirmishes aside, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen continues to voice his full support for general manager Ken Williams.
Asked about chairman Jerry Reinsdorf's recent assurance to Williams — as reported Tuesday by Joe Cowley in the Sun-Times — that Williams will return next year, Guillen took the opportunity to cast a strong vote of support for the GM.
"I don't see why not,'' Guillen said before watching Mark Buehrle give up seven runs and a career-high 15 hits in the Sox' 7-2 loss Thursday against the Royals. "He did a good job.''
The loss officially eliminated the Sox from catching Detroit in the American League Central "race.'' Whether Williams, who is believed to have two years left on his contract, and Guillen, who has one, will be given the opportunity to coexist and attempt to enter the next one is the burning question surrounding the Sox as Reinsdorf plans for next season. Guillen has said all along they can coexist on a professional level.
And, at least publicly, he patted Williams on the back for his work, reminding Sox fans that few objected when he signed Adam Dunn, acquired Alex Rios on waivers and traded for Jake Peavy, all of whom have big-money contracts that look like bad investments after the fact.
"One thing about it — all the people in Chicago, they're going to blame Kenny,'' Guillen said. "I remember when we made this club, everybody was excited. Don't turn your back on the man. Don't do that.''
Williams and Guillen have each accepted the blame for the team's performance.
"They gave me a good club to manage,'' Guillen said. "We don't play well? Yes, and we have to blame who? Pitchers, catchers, hitters. No, no. Blame the team, but I'm the one running this club. But don't turn on Kenny. People in Chicago, don't do that.
"Why are we going to turn on a guy now when he's supposed to do what we're supposed to do? Don't turn on Kenny and Jerry. People should at least say thank you to Kenny and Jerry. They put the money out there and bring the players.''
A day after saying his team lost its fight while getting swept out of U.S. Cellular Field by the red-hot Tigers, Guillen was asked to clarify. His issue was not sensing the same anger in his clubhouse.
"I don't like that,'' Guillen said. "Maybe I was wrong, but it was like, 'Let's win today and get dressed and go to Kansas City, and hopefully we win there.' That's the kind of thing that I saw.''
Guillen, who does most of his communicating through the media, has held one clubhouse meeting. The subject was running out ground balls, and it came about the time Rios was benched for not hustling.
"We know we played very badly,'' he said of this season. "We have a veteran team. What am I going to tell them, how bad we are? They should know. That's why I try to stay away from meetings.''
On the subject of bad, Buehrle gave up an assortment of bloop hits, dangerous line shots and home runs (Melky Cabrera, Billy Butler) to give up the most hits by a Sox pitcher since Kevin Tapani gave up 15 to the Mariners in 1996. In Buehrle's last three starts, he has allowed 33 hits over 151/3 innings. In that span, his ERA climbed from 3.05 to 3.74.
The hit that knocked out Buehrle was a line shot by Alcides Escobar off his left biceps.
"I could've stayed in if it had happened earlier, but [Guillen] came out and said there's no reason,'' Buehrle said. "You're getting your a-- handed to you; let's get you out of there.''
Buehrle wasn't alone in having a rough night. The Sox settled for one run after loading the bases with no outs in the sixth against Jeff Francis. Brent Morel made two errors.
The loss was the Sox' fifth in a row, not the type of finish Buehrle and Guillen were hoping for in what could be their last seasons on the South Side.

The Morning Link: Funny Celebrity Groping Pictures
One of the greatest advantages of being a celebrity is that the sex rules of normal society don't apply to you. Learning pickup lines isn't necessary, asking for a threesome isn't out of line and inappropriate touching is actually considered a compliment.
So whether you're a man or a woman and want to grab a lot of boobs when you get older, being a celebrity is a great career choice.

Cocopah Police Chief won't face charges
Friday, Sept. 28, 2012
Updated: 6:48 PM PST
A prosecutor is not filing endangerment charges against a Cocopah police chief after his gun landed in the hands of a six-year-old.
The Maricopa County Attorney's Office said no charges were filed against Cocopah Police Chief James Spurgeon.
Representative from the attorney's office said it's because prosecutors felt there was no reasonable likelihood of conviction.
It all stems from an incident where Spurgeon left his gun at an apartment. It was then picked up by a six-year-old boy who pointed it at his father.
The Cocopah Indian tribe said Spurgeon is on a leave of absence.

Tanganyika groundnut scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tanganyika Groundnut Scheme was a plan to cultivate tracts of what is now Tanzania with peanuts. The project was a brainchild of the British Labour government of Clement Attlee. It was abandoned at considerable cost to the taxpayers after it was discovered that peanuts will not grow in Tanganyika.
Read the whole article, it isn't long, for how disaster followed disaster...

..based upon the official forecasts 4,000 tons of peanuts were purchased for seed in 1947 but only a fraction of this amount was actually planted. By the end of the second season's harvest, after two years of effort and Ł 25 million had been expended, only 2,000 tons of peanuts had been harvested, 50 percent of what had been originally purchased as seed.
And the real problem was...
Alan Wood, himself a socialist, considered whether the project being a public enterprise rather than a private, profit-making endeavor had been the cause of the failure. He concluded that the principal decision-makers could not have worked any harder had their own capital been at stake. He knew from personal observation that they worked all of the time, from early morning until late at night. According to Wood,
"They worked too hard. They were themselves into such a state of weariness, fever and fret that they could not think ahead.....Too much has been written about the benefits of capitalism in providing the driving force of the profit motive. What is more difficult to replace is the function of the price mechanism in dividing up decisions among a large number of different people. The trouble was not that General Harrison was a stupid man or an incompetent man; He was plainly a man of great ability. The trouble was he carried a heavier burden than any man could bear." (Emphasis added.)
What Wood fails to realize or admit is that it is not so much a matter of how long people work but how effectively. The profit motive not only induces people to put forth more effort but to utilize the resources under their command, including their own time, more efficiently. Personal financial responsibility forces managers to delegate authority when circumstances require.
I wonder how many of the socialist NGO's busy creating schemes today in Africa have ever studied this disaster?

New FAMIS Email Addresses
The A&M System Offices are changing email extensions to @tamus.edu. The conversion began on June 1, 2011 and will end May 31, 2012. This change only affects email addresses for System Office employees.
Please note the change of email addresses for FAMIS and FAMIS Production Services:
In addition, please change any email lists for FAMIS employees from @tamu to @tamus.edu, as well as any documentation that might reference these email addresses.
An online FAQ web page provides additional information about this change: http://www.tamus.edu/offices/bcs/email/
Two New Screens (208 and 211) Added to FAMIS
Screen 208 (Vendor Add/Modify) is used to record SciQuest information for a vendor that is to be pulled and sent to SciQuest through a batch program run by FAMIS Services. Data should not be entered on this screen unless the agency is using the SciQuest application AggieBuy. No information entered on this screen will be passed to SciQuest unless the agency is using AggieBuy.
If a vendor's distribution method is marked "CXML" in FAMIS, the information (except distribution information) will be passed to SciQuest. The additional mail codes can have whatever is needed for the distribution.
Screen 211 (Vendor XREF) provides the ability to link a vendor on one campus to a SciQuest vendor on another campus. The only functions for this screen are add (A) and delete (D).
When a voucher is created from an invoice processed from SciQuest, the Vendor XREF file will be searched to see if the SciQuest vendor from the voucher campus code has been related to a vendor on the campus code where the voucher is being created. If the vendor from the SciQuest invoice is found, the vendor for the campus being processes will be substituted for the original vendor.
Additions to this screen are logged and appear on Screen 201.
New Field on Screens 103 and 203
The "External VID" field has been added to Screens 103 and 203 for the Concur Travel application. It will allow FAMIS to reimburse nonemployees and eliminate the need to assign them UIN numbers. FAMIS will assign this ID to all active vendors. Search for the External Vendor ID is available using the PF2 key on the Vendor field, then using the PF6 key within the pop-up window.
NOTE: Current non-active vendors will not have an External Vendor ID, but when they become active on Screens 143 and 132, a number will be assigned to them. Once the number is assigned, it remains with the vendor permanently.
Kudos From Our Users

On Dec. 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and fatally shot 20 children and six staff members.
Less than a month later, a local state representative co-sponsored a bill designed to assist in ramping up security measures at schools in Tennessee.
The bill, informally named the School Security Act, was introduced by state Rep. Eric Watson and state Sen. Frank Nicely.
The bill, and its passage, was selected as the year's No. 9 story of 2013 as voted by the news team of the Cleveland Daily Banner.
The law allows previous or current law enforcement officers as well as school staff members with the required training across the state to possess a firearm on school property if the person has a handgun carry permit, is authorized in writing by the school superintendent, who is in compliance with all laws, rules and regulations of the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission, and has had at least 40 hours of basic school police training.
The law also maintains the confidentiality of the records concerning those who are given the authorization to carry the weapons on school property, meaning the identities of those who have been given the authorization and might be armed on the school grounds would only be known to school and law enforcement authorities.
It states all of that information "shall be confidential and not open for public inspection."
School systems would also be able to utilize their share of $34 million in the budget to pay for additional security help from outside of their resident staffs.
What the law means is school systems can authorize staff and faculty members to carry weapons onto the school grounds if they meet the proper certification and training requirements. School systems also have the option of bringing in previous or current law enforcement officer to fill a security role.
The National Rifle Association, Tennessee Education Association, Professional Educators Association, Tennessee Sheriffs Association, Tennessee Police Chiefs Association and many others supported Watson's bill.
The bill passed the House 82-15 in April 16, passed the Senate two days later with a vote of 27-6 and was signed into law on May 13 by Gov. Bill Haslam.
Jim Wrye, chief lobbyist for the Tennessee Education Association, the state's largest teachers' union, said there are about 200 criminal science teachers in Tennessee public schools who are former police officers.
"It opens up a lot of opportunities for retired deputies and police officers to serve as school resource officers," Wrye said.
Estimates reach as high as $90 million to place school resource officers in every Tennessee school and supporters of the bill see this as a way of making it more affordable.
Two local education administrators praised the passage of the bill.
"I thank Gov. Haslam and Rep. Watson for their strong support and good work in providing additional funding for education. This bill is a sensible, practical approach that supports the efforts of educators to keep our schools safe," remarked Johnny McDaniel, director of Bradley County Schools.
Todd Shoemaker, Bradley Central High School principal, echoed McDaniel's statement.
"I would like to thank Gov. Haslam and Rep. Eric Watson for their support of this bill. Administrators from all across the country are looking for ways to ensure that students are kept safe each time they enter their schools. Parents put their trust in the schools and administration to ensure that their children are safe every day. I believe this bill is a strong step in helping to provide a safe and secure environment for our students and staff members," Shoemaker said.
Watson said the bill can save money for school systems because authorized armed personnel can be "paid, current, or volunteer" personnel.
"[The process for the authorization] has a lot more flags you have to go through than a law enforcement officer does. That was something we took into consideration," Watson said.
He said school systems have had to depend solely on law enforcement for security, but the new law changes that landscape.
"It can be a problem with law enforcement officers because they often have other responsibilities they have to carry out, such as being in court," Watson said. "When those things happen, it can leave a school unattended. This helps to fill that gap. I think most people, in light of what we've seen lately, would prefer having someone there all the time."
He said the bill was designed to be for a hidden weapon where "nobody can see it or knows [about] it" except for the principal, the director of schools and proper law enforcement authorities.
Watson noted the bill was not a mandate, but an opportunity of which school systems can take advantage.
"This is one of those things you have to be careful about allowing a weapon in a school," Watson said. "Some thought we were wanting to arm all the teachers and that's not true at all. There has to be an agreement memorandum between the director, principal and law enforcement agency for the person to have that authority," Watson said. "The director makes the final decision."
"The bill is a tool," he said. "If you want it, you have it. But it's a two-headed sword. If you don't use it and something happens to your school, I'd hate to be the one that said we had the option to appoint a veteran or retired state trooper that was willing to be a guard at the front door and we turned them down."

EAU CLAIRE -- The Atomic Numbers has been selected to open a concert by The Verve Pipe on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. (not 8 p.m. as previously announced) in Zorn Arena.
A rock band formed last year in Detroit, Mich., The Atomic Numbers recently released its debut recording, "Flying Machine" -- a melodic collage of unadulterated guitar pop.
"Villains," The Verve Pipe's debut album on the RCA label, has climbed into the top 25 on the Billboard 200 chart. The title track is now receiving nationwide rock radio airplay, and the album's first single, "The Freshmen," has been a staple on the rock and mainstream rock charts since its commercial release last spring.
Reserved seating tickets are $16.50, plus a $1 service fee, at the University Service Center in Davies Center. Tickets may be charged to MasterCard or Visa when ordered by phone. Call (715) 836-3727 -- or, outside the immediate Eau Claire area, call toll-free (800) 949-UWEC. A $3 handling fee will be added to all telephone charge orders.
The concert is sponsored by Event Resources Presents Inc. and the University Activities Commission of the UW-Eau Claire Student Senate.

The past week has seen two big releases that I'm pretty excited/interested/curious/other synonyms about: The HDPE wheelcover from Fixcraft and the Ninja mallet head from MILK.
HDPE Wheelcover
This little beauty uses HDPE and thins it out for wheel covers. I haven't had the chance to use this material yet, but according to the Fixcraft website and facebook page it's much more strong in wintertime than the corrugated plastic we're used to. Available in 26 and 700, the wheel covers come in just white for now (which is cool, cause my wife does my wheel cover painting for me. awww yeah – artists at work).
MILK Ninja Mallet Head
I really know very little about this head, other than it's supposed to be ultra light and they made this cute little infographic about it:
I'm hoping to get my hands on one for review, but we'll see how that goes (Geneva is far away from Lancaster, I hear). It's black UHMW and sure to be a blast to use. Here's an actual picture of it:
At any rate, both of these products move us nicely along the path of optimized products. Hooray for everybody.

Following My Heart
Dear IVA Friends, "Follow what you know God put in your heart."
I have shared this advice with many people throughout my ministry. Today, I am announcing that I am taking my own advice to heart.
Taking Stock; Setting Priorities; Taking Action…Now
Folks, this is a fact. If we do not pass down the Christian values on which this country was founded to our youth, everything, we, adults know and believe about America will go to the grave with us.
I know that was blunt, but I can't think of any other way to say it.
Education Reform in Idaho is a Hot Topic; Let's Talk About It
It can go without saying that Tom Luna's plan for education reform in Idaho is a hot topic. Several times I have been tempted to weigh in. This week I read an excellent editorial in the Coeur d'Alene Press by one of our strong IVA supporters, Bob Shillingstad.

The Orange County Register
625 N. Grand Avenue
Santa Ana, CA 92701
California businesses paid $89.9 billion in state and local taxes during the 2011 fiscal year, 4.6% higher than the previous year, according to a new report from the Council On State Taxation. (Click on the chart for a larger view.)
That's almost the average tax growth nationwide (4.5%), following two years in which total business state and local tax revenues declined.
The growth ranges from 39.3% in North Dakota, which is experiencing a boom from its oil and gas industry to a 0.2% decline in North Carolina, the only state in which business tax collections dropped.
The 10th annual "Total State and Local Businesses Taxes" report was prepared by accounting giant Ernst & Young LLP.
By far, the largest amount of tax that California businesses pay is for property tax:
California businesses paid $29.8 billion in property taxes, followed by $17.7 billion in sales taxes. Corporate taxes totaled $9.6 billion while individual income taxes for businesses that pass profits through to owners, such as S corporations, LLCs and partnerships, totaled $8 billion.
"This year's results reveal both significant lingering effects of the recession on business tax collections and significant variation in the level of state and local taxes paid by businesses across the states relative to economic activity," the report says.
In California, the $89.9 billion paid by businesses is 48% of all state and local tax collections.
California collects more in dollars in state and local businesses taxes than any other state, 14% of the nationwide total of $643.9 billion. Second is New York at $63.5 billion. However, as a percentage of its gross state product (total economic output), California ranks 13th at 5.3%, according to the COST report. Highest is Alaska, where business taxes are 15.4% of GSP.
The one category in which California ranks first is the debt of its state unemployment insurance trust fund. The Golden State's UI fund is $8.8 billion in the hole far greater than second place New York with a $2.8 billion debt.
Other national findings:
COST is a nonprofit trade association based in Washington D.C. It started as an advisory committee to the Council of State Chambers of Commerce.

Palmer elderly to get reduced water rates
By 11/28/2002 00:00:00
Mark Varsel
The Ellis County Press
PALMER - By adopting a new city ordinance at its latest meeting, the city council of Palmer has put in place a measure to assist the city's elderly with their living expenses, by establishing a fixed fee for water, sewer and garbage services. Mayor Mike Greenlee said, 'By necessity, water bills are high in order to pay for the needed improvements to the city's water system.'
Greenlee further explained this was one of the things he wanted to accomplish during his term as mayor. 'It touches you, in a way,' he said, as he recounted his personal knowledge of elderly constituents having to decide between buying prescription medicine or paying their water bills. The new ordinance states any Palmer resident, over the age of 65, living alone and on a fixed income, can make an application to the city. Applicants would only be subject to paying the current base rate of $25 per month for water, garbage and sewer services,' explained City Attorney Larry Jackson. The new Senior Citizen Minimum Service Rate will go into effect during the next billing cycle. A similar arrangement is available, under Section 3 of the ordinance, to churches in Palmer, where more than one family meets each week to worship.

Outlook: While it's a new era at Horizon, a duplication of last year's success would be a nice feat for the football program. Doug Shaffer led the Huskies to an 8-3 record a season ago and a Division II playoff berth, but stepped away one year earlier than expected because of health issues. Enter Kris Heavner, the former Arizona quarterback who was most recently the coach at Santa Rita.
Horizon loses Victor and Charlie Quinn, who accounted for much of the team's offense a year ago, but has some nice pieces returning. Dalton Sneed did a solid job under center as a sophomore a season ago (1,040 yards passing, 14 TD, 5 INT) and should improve with a year under his belt. He has several receivers back, led by Mark Robinson (353 yards, 3 TD). Jake Grant is one of the top offensive linemen in the East Valley. Heavner was pleased with the way the team picked up his schemes in the offseason.
"Offensively, the boys have been doing a great job throughout the summer," he said. "We're going to have a lot of speed and play with a fast tempo."
Only two of the team's top-12 tacklers from a season ago return, although both are impact talents. Linebacker Kristian Salinas recorded 62 tackles and 10 sacks for the Huskies as a junior while defensive back Luke Quinn had a team-high 76 tackles and added two interceptions.
The schedule is manageable, with tough games against Marcos de Niza, Pinnacle and Desert Mountain on the docket but several winnable matchups as well. The personnel is there, and Horizon's season may depend on how well the players can adjust to Heavner's coaching.
"Obviously, this being my first year, you have to install schemes, bring new coaches on staff and create the culture you want," he said. "The players have done a great job of buying into what we have asked of them from day one."

Returning Starters: 7 on offense/4 on defense
Top returners: QB Dalton Sneed (59-96, 1,040 yards, 14 TD, 5 INT); WR Mark Robinson (15 rec., 353 yards, 3 TD); DB Luke Quinn (76 tackles, 2 INT); LB Kristian Salinas (62 tackles, 9 TFL, 10 sacks); OL Jake Grant.
2013 Schedule
Aug. 30 vs. Marcos de Niza (6 p.m.); Sept. 6 at Corona del Sol; Sept. 12 (Thur.) vs. Millennium; Sept. 20 at Paradise Valley; Sept. 27 vs. Desert Mountain; Oct. 4 at Mountain Ridge; Oct. 11 at North Canyon; Oct. 18 vs. Boulder Creek; Oct. 25 at Pinnacle; Nov. 1 vs. Sandra Day O'Connor
Key games
Aug. 30 vs. Marcos de Niza: The season begins with a tough matchup against perennial power Marcos de Niza. The Padres lost considerable talent from last year's semifinal team, so Horizon needs to pounce on that inexperience. Containing Marcos de Niza quarterback Josh Eckley will be a chore, but Horizon can make a big statement with a win in its opener.
Oct. 25 at Pinnacle: The Pioneers have running back Josh Hoekstra returning and impressive quarterback Brian Lewerke taking over. This will be one of the biggest tests for the Horizon defense, and it must keep Pinnacle in check in order to have a chance at the upset.
Sept. 20 at Paradise Valley: Horizon has a few games on the schedule it should win easily as well as a few in which it will be the underdog. The game against Paradise Valley could be one of the more closely-contested matchups, and it will be key to take care of business in this one to help improve playoff positioning.

Get to Know the Style Crush Ring!
The Seventeen Style Crush Ring is a place where the most amazing fashion bloggers get to share their favorite style blogs and a ton of other fun info they want to gush about. Each fashion blogger gives their fave blog, then you get to meet that blogger and check out their fave, and so on, and so on. Youll have fun flipping through and discovering new blogs youll love!
Nicole Warne
Whos your favorite fashion blogger? My newfound favorite is Coury from fancytreehouse.blogspot.com
Why do you love that blog? I stumbled across Coury's beautiful blog one afternoon and as soon as I saw her first post, I instantly fell in love. I'm not sure what I fell in love with first her whimsical and ethereal photography, her perfectly styled vintage outfits, her quirky and unique sense of style, or her platinum blonde hair and stunning looks. She manages to put together outfits that always look so effortless, chic, and adorable, adding touches of vintage with patterned scarves, Peter Pan collars, bows, and cute clutches. Coury consistently delivers breathtaking outfits post after post, and I admire how she manages to keep them unique and interesting amongst a sea of vintage-inspired blogs. It's extremely refreshing.
Whats one piece of clothing every girl should have in her closet? A full-length maxi skirt. I know you either love them or hate them, but they're honestly the perfect staple for any season. You can style them one hundred different ways, and I can't live without mine now.
How would you describe your personal fashion style? I love mixing vintage with high end, and adding cute accessories like hats, socks, and chunky statement rings. I often tend to keep my outfits as simple as possible, but I think that comes from living in Australia where there's always beautiful weather. We have quite an easygoing attitude too, so I think that is also reflected in what we wear. Less is more.
Who is your celebrity style icon? Alexa Chung. She manages to mix vintage with high end so perfectly, without losing her quirky and interesting sense of style along the way.
What made you start your own blog? I started my blog on the exact same day I opened my online vintage store, Gary Pepper Vintage. I planned to have my blog serve as an online diary, documenting this new exciting chapter in my life, but after a few short months it had quickly turned into a visual diary showcasing my personal style and vintage finds. Now, it's somewhere between a mix of my personal life, my business life, and my overflowing vintage wardrobe.

Kristin Cavallari's baby bump is growing -- and at an exponential rate!
The recently engaged 25-year-old reality star announced her pregnancy last month, and now she's excited to have enough of a belly to show off.
"My stomach literally grew double overnight!!" Cavallari tweeted Sunday. "This belly came out of nowhere!"
We expected Cavallari to be massive with a tweet like that, but the fiancee of Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler still looked slim and chic when she hosted E!'s Academy Awards pre-show Sunday night. She worked the red carpet wearing a strapless gray gathered gown and nude Christian Louboutin heels, and seemingly glowed with happiness.
Cavallari and Cutler are expecting their first child in late summer and are also planning a wedding. But Kristin better not bank on Jay helping with the nuptial preparations.
"I don't really make a lot of (wedding) decisions," Cutler, 28, said in a radio interview in December. "I hear about them in passing or if I have to possibly write a check or something like that, but other than that, whatever she wants to do, I'm on board."

Seems to be the general consensus is that if Taylkor is there at #5 we should take him. Can't agree more, I'd hate to lose out on him. If he has gone, then trade down.

DJ mix: Thugfucker
Hear a great DJ mix from Thugfucker, then check out the duo in action at the Blkamarket Membership boat party.
Mon Sep 9 2013
CommentsAdd +
Photograph: Einar Snorri
The splendidly monikered Thugfucker—the team of the Life & Death label's Greg Oreck and You Are Here's Holmar Filipsson—have long been among our favorite deep-house duos, but the past few years have seen the pair zooming towards the heavens like a couple of the Norse gods that Filipsson's ancestors probably worshiped in days of yore. (He's Icelandic, in case you were wondering.) Here's just a bit of what the boys have been up to: They've done original tracks and remixes for such esteemed labels as Wolf + Lamb, Visionquest, Get Physical, and Culprit; they've deejayed at London's Fabric, Berlin's Panorama Bar and Watergate, Ibiza's Space and Pacha, Amsterdam's Studio 80 and NYC's own Output, among other top clubs; festivalwise, they've wowed the crowds at Croatia's Garden Festival, Mexico's BPM, Barcelona's Sónar, Burning Man and many, many more outdoor throwdowns; and Filipsson is relaunching his much-missed Crack & Speed imprint with partner Jef K this fall. Phew! And best of all for those hankering to squeeze in one last boat party for the fall chill sets in, the hustlin' twosome are lined up to play the Blkmarket Membership boat party on Saturday, September 14—and to mark the occasion, we're serving up a lovely Thugfucker mix (one that's elegant and by turns intimate and epic) recorded live at this past summer's Coachella festival. That's right—they played freakin' Coachella!

As a bit of harmless signal boosting for some great shows/games/etc, here's some stuff I'm currently interested in.
|Gravity Falls
|RWBY (by Monty Oum and RoosterTeeth) is a fun, quirky 3D cell-shaded anime-style American web show, full of action and adventure. The second season is currently airing (As of July 2014), as can be watched for free! SO IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, GO WATCH IT! What are you waiting for, an invitation? (link to watch)
|A cartoon show by Disney, Gravity Falls is one of my favorite cartoons currently airing. It has a nice fun, wacky, and mysterious feel to it, and even includes a lot of Easter eggs if your willing to look for them (or be like me and see what others have found =p). Season 2 is now airing, as of 1 August 2014.
I like messing with templates (I love HTML / CSS), and even if I'm not sure how to make one, I can almost always find one similar and then use the base code from that one to get what I want with a little tweaking, or find out the way to do it by searching for an answer. I can do basic LUA programming, but don't really like using it (just when it's benefits are high enough).
While I enjoy editing wikis, I also love anime (my favorite romance anime being Toradora, although I often prefer "psychological" anime), TV shows (mostly on Netflix), reading books (primarily short novels), reading comics (online or newspaper ones), and also enjoy following works of the mlp fandom. While not a die-hard mlp fan, I do like the show overall, and find the works the fandom can create fantastic, especially some of the works on Tumblr and music (primarily through bandcamp).
Whether connected to everything above or otherwise, I almost always prefer my entertainment clean (and definitely in good taste).
Also please note, good readers, that my username is Fewfre, not Fewfire, Fewfew, etc. The story behind my name is simple and boring; it was my first password. After multiple different usernames, I decided to use Fewfre, because:
- I already used it 2 places
- I like how it sounds (I say it "Few Free", "Few Fray", or "Few Fur")
- it's rarely taken ("unique")
- it's short
- it has personal / "sentimental" value.
As a random aside, I realized years after using as my username that I can make up some story about my name being "FlewFree", but missing some letters due to this world no allowing me to fly (or some equally deep thing that makes it sound like my name was on purpose =p). Not going to but love the option ^.^. Also, if you must shorten my name, I prefer "Fewf" rather than "Few"... as if that will ever happen =p

Hello Ladies!
I hope everyone's day went better than mine! just got back from my first doctors appt with my new GYN since moving to Vegas and he was super nice and when we were talking about my past GYN history I mentioned I had PID once like 7 years ago and my old gyn doc gave me some antibotic and that was it. Never told me anyting else and no follow up! My new doc tells me that the PID (pelvic inflamatory disease) might be causing my inferitlity issues! I was so upset because my past doc NEVER mentoned anything at all to me about PID scarring in my uterus or blocking any tubes. Then when I tried to call my old doc for my records, he is now out of practice with tons of law suites and one of them is for not informing patients about their tests bad results or not properly treating patients with the correct medicine. After checking around the meds i got 7 years ago it were not the correct med to give me! Im so upset and now i have to go thru several tests on wednesday to see if i have blocked tubes or uterine scarring, im beyond pissed now!
Has anyone on here ever had PID?

The schools chancellor has told most of the city's school district superintendents they will have to reapply for their jobs. It's part of the new administration's policy to hire education leaders with more experience in schools. NY1's Lindsey Christ filed the following report.
A big part of a school superintendent's job is to hire, support and evaluate principals. Until now, though, the city hasn't said superintendents must have any prior experience as a school principal.
That's set to change, with candidates required to have been a principal for at least three years.
"Experience really matters. I was a principal a long time ago, but I felt that my superintendent that came and supported the work that I did knew what I was doing, walked in my shoes, and had a good understanding of the work that I did every single day," said Deputy Chancellor Dorita Gibson.
The new rule officially applies to the city's 32 community superintendents, as well as the nine high school superintendents. The only ones who will not be affected are the two who oversee schools serving students with special needs.
It's not just three years of experience as a school principal. Going forward, superintendents will also need to have at least seven additional years of education experience, like as a teacher, guidance counselor or dean. In the past, superintendent candidates needed only three years of education leadership experience. Of the current 41 superintendents impacted, officials said six would not meet the new requirements. Although the city is requiring almost all superintendents reapply for their jobs, they won't be subjected to the more rigorous experience requirements, which will only apply to new candidates going forward.
Still, the DOE says it's important they all must reapply, a process that will include interviews, essays and letters of recommendation.
"You have a choice to apply, and then, you're going to say, 'I want to do this work, I'm ready to be a part of this administration,'" Gibson said.
They said this is an administration that values experience.
The superintendent policy follows an earlier change that requires more years of teaching before becoming a principal or assistant principal.

Jim DeMint on Social Security
Republican Jr Senator; previously Representative (SC-4)
Contrary to what many progressives love to say, there is no money in the Trust Fund to pay future benefits. Furthermore, the fundamentally flawed program faces a severe demographic crisis as members of the baby boom generation begin to retire. The mess we face with Social Security, a program so many are now dependent on, is yet another example of a failed progressive policy, where the potential for unintended consequences was ignored at the program's inception.
If only a small percent of seniors took this option, it would save the country billions of dollars. This arrangement would also encourage younger workers to save more so they could cash out of Social Security when they retire.
Another freedom option would be to allow workers over 50 to opt out of future Social Security benefits. These workers would keep their portion of Social Security taxes (6.2%) for the remainder of their working lives if they purchased an annuity that guaranteed a base income when they retired. This could save individuals $1000s a year and spare the government billions of future Social Security payments.
Those who see individuals as incapable of making good decisions want a universal, government-owned, national pension plan (Social Security) with all retired Americans dependent (at least in part) on the government for their income. Those who understand how freedom works will fight for the right of every American to have a personal Social Security account they own and the government can't spend.
My campaign platform was bold and naive. People should own their Social Security accounts, and the money they pay in Social Security taxes should be saved in a personal account the government can't spend. People should have the freedom to own a health insurance policy they can afford and keep from job to job. Parents should have many more choices of schools, and the money we spend on public education should follow the student and not be reserved solely for government-run schools. And finally, we should eliminate the personal income tax and the IRS.
Proponents recommend voting YES because:
Perhaps the worst example of wasteful spending is when we take the taxes people pay for Social Security and, instead of saving them, we spend them on other things. Even worse than spending Social Security on other things is we do not count it as debt when we talk about the deficit every year. So using the Social Security money is actually a way to hide even more wasteful spending without counting it as debt. This Amendment would change that.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
This amendment has a fatal flaw. It leaves the door open for private Social Security accounts by providing participants with the option of "pre-funding of at least some portion of future benefits."
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT: One of the things I have consistently heard from folks back home is the very simple idea that the first part of saving Social Security is making sure that Social Security taxes stay with Social Security. That is what this bill does because it takes the Social Security surplus, whatever that happens to be, and simply rebates it back to the people paying Social Security taxes, not to go out and fix up the car or buy a refrigerator with it, but instead to go into their own personal Social Security savings account that would be held by a fiduciary like the local bank.
The individual could not get their hands on the money until they turn 65, but they would get a monthly statement and for the first time, because of the private property rights that come with an account like that, for the first time have a firewall created between political forces in D.C. and their Social Security surplus.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME: Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means; never called for a House vote.
The mission of the Alliance for Retired Americans is to ensure social and economic justice and full civil rights for all citizens so that they may enjoy lives of dignity, personal and family fulfillment and security. The Alliance believes that all older and retired persons have a responsibility to strive to create a society that incorporates these goals and rights and that retirement provides them with opportunities to pursue new and expanded activities with their unions, civic organizations and their communities.
The following ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.
The CC survey summarizes candidate stances on the following topic: "Allowing individuals to invest a portion of their Social Security tax in private retirement accounts"
