(d) Use and authorize others to license the use of and sale of Your Authorized Content in connection with all manner of phone services, such as, but not limited to, sales or licenses of Digital Masters as downloads (including, without limitation, downloads to cell phones) and for use as ringtones and ringback tones;
(e) Use so-called "kiosks" to distribute, market and promote Digital Masters, including, without limitation, by allowing the burning of compact disc copies of any Digital Master or by allowing a copy of a Digital Master to be transferred to personal devices;
(f) Use and authorize others to allow copies of a Digital Master to be distributed as so-called "conditional" downloads, whether tethered to a device, time limited, play limited or otherwise;
(g) "Stream" and authorize others to "stream" Your Authorized Content, either on-demand or as part of an internet radio service;

(k) Authorize our Licensees to perform any one or more of the activities specified above.
2. Term & Termination:
(a) The Term of this DDA shall become effective on the Effective Date for a minimum of three (3) years and will continue in full force indefinitely, unless and until terminated by either you or us after the mandatory minimum term of three(3) years has passed as provided herein:
(b) This DDA may be terminated as follows:
(i) if either party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition in bankruptcy, commences any proceeding relating to it under any bankruptcy or similar statute, or there is commenced against either party any proceeding which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, the other party may terminate immediately upon giving notice to the non-breaching party.
(ii) by either party, for the other party's material breach and failure of the breaching party to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party.
(iii) by either party by giving the other party not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice after the initial one year minimum term has passed.
(c) Upon termination of this DDA as set forth in Section 2(b) by either party for any reason, including a party's convenience, the parties acknowledge and agree that the DDA shall continue under the same terms and conditions under a wind down period for up to one hundred twenty (120) days.
(d) The expiration or termination of the Term will not relieve either you or us from our respective obligations incurred prior to or during the Term. Accordingly, applicable provisions of this DDA will continue to apply even after the expiration of the Term.
3. Payments to You:
(a) Wholesale fees: For content resold through our distribution partner network Licensees (including iTunes, Amazon.com, eMusic, Rhapsody, and other partners) we will pay you an amount equal to Eighty percent (80%) of the net wholesale price that we receive from Licensees for the sale or other licensed uses of your Digital Masters ("License Fee").
(b) Payments & Statements:
(i) Statements will be processed on the last working day of each Quarter (March, June, September, and December). Statements reflect actual sale dates up to 65 days prior. For example, the June Quarterly Statement will include unpaid sales up to, and may include, April. REFORMATORY RECORDS will issue payments, in the form of checks, within 30 days of the quarterly statement. If the amount owed to you is less than $50.00 in one quarter – that amount will be moved to the following quarterly report. At the end of the calendar year, all accounts will be paid in full through the December Quarterly Statement.
(ii) We may opt to send you monthly payments of $50.00 or greater and monthly earnings reports as opposed to only paying you quarterly but will not be obligated to a monthly payment schedule under this agreement.
(c) We will maintain books and records which report the sale or other licensed uses of your Digital Masters. You may, but not more than once a year, at your own expense, examine those books and records, as provided in this Section 3(d), only. You may make those examinations only for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the statements sent to you. All such examinations will be in accordance with GAAP procedures and regulations. You may make such an examination for a particular statement only once, and only within one (1) year after the date we send you that statement. You may make such an examination only during our usual business hours, and at the place where we keep the books and records to be examined. If you wish to make an examination, you will be required to notify us at least thirty (30) days before the date when you plan to begin it. We may postpone the commencement of your examination by notice given to you not later than five (5) days before the commencement date specified in your notice; if we do so, the running of the time within which the examination may be made will be suspended during the postponement. If your examination has not been completed within one (1) month from the time you begin it, we may require you to terminate it on seven (7) days' notice to you at any time; we will not be required to permit you to continue the examination after the end of that seven (7) day period. You will not be entitled to examine any other records that do not specifically report sales or other licensed uses of the Digital Masters. You may engage a certified public accountant to make such an examination for you, but not if (s)he or his/her firm has begun an examination of our books and records for anyone else, unless the examination has been concluded and any applicable audit issues have been resolved. Such certified public accountant will act only under an acceptable confidentiality agreement, which provides that any information derived from such audit or examination will not be knowingly released, divulged or published to any person, firm or corporation, other than to you or to a judicial or administrative body in connection with any proceeding relating to this DDA.
(d) If you have any objections to a statement, you will give us specific notice of that objection and your reasons for it within one (1) year after the date when we are required to send you that statement. Each statement will become conclusively binding on you at the end of that one (1) year period, and you will no longer have any right to make any other objections to it. You will not have the right to sue us in connection with any statement, or to sue us for License Fees on sales and licenses during the period a statement covers, unless you commence the suit within that one (1) year period. If you commence suit on any controversy or claim concerning statements rendered to you under this DDA in a court of competent jurisdiction, the scope of the proceeding will be limited to determination of the amount of the License Fees due for the accounting periods concerned, and the court will have no authority to consider any other issues or award any relief except recovery of any License Fees found owing. Your recovery of any such royalties will be the sole remedy available to you by reason of any claim related to our statements.
4. Your Obligations: You or a licensee (on your behalf) will obtain and pay for any and all clearances or licenses required in the Territory (or any portion thereof) for the use of Your Authorized Content, and Authorized Artwork and metadata as intended by this DDA. By way of example, you will be responsible for the payment of mechanical royalties in territories where such royalties are not collected by a rights society. Specifically, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you or a licensee on your behalf will be responsible for and shall pay (i) any royalties and other sums due to artists, authors, co-authors, copyright owners and co-owners, producers and any other record royalty participants from sales or other uses of Digital Masters, (ii) all mechanical royalties or other sums payable to publishers and/or authors or co-authors of musical compositions embodied in Digital Masters from sales or other uses of Digital Masters, (iii) all payments that may be required under any collective bargaining agreements applicable to you or any third party, and (iv) any other royalties, fees and/or sums payable with respect to Your Authorized Content, and Authorized Artwork, metadata or other materials provided by you to us. You agree that the amount payable to you is inclusive of any so-called "artist royalties" that might otherwise be required to be paid for sales or exploitations pursuant to the applicable laws of any jurisdiction.
5. Right to Withdraw Material: You have the right, at any time after the mandatory minimum term of three (3) years has passed, to withdraw your permission for the sale or other uses of any Authorized Content and Authorized Artwork, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to REFORMATORY RECORDS ("Withdrawal"). Within one hundred twenty (120) days following our receipt of your notice of Withdrawal, we will advise our Licensees that they are no longer authorized to offer the sale or other use of Your Authorized Content or Authorized Artwork. Sending of your notice of Withdrawal will not limit your responsibility for sales and other uses of Your Authorized Content and/or Authorized Artwork that occurred prior to the implementation of such Withdrawal and will not limit in any way the rights of end users who have acquired Your Authorized Content or Authorized Artwork. REFORMATORY RECORDS is not responsible for any delays of our Licensees in removing Your Authorized Content and Authorized Artwork.
6. Names and Likenesses; Promotional Use and Opportunities:
(a) You hereby grant to us, during the Term, the right to use and to authorize our Licensees to use the names and approved likenesses of, and biographical material concerning any artists, bands, producers and/or songwriters, as well as track and/or album name, and Authorized Artwork, in any marketing materials for the sale, promotion and advertising of the applicable Digital Master, which is offered for sale or other use under the terms of this DDA (e.g., an artist or band name and likeness may be used in an informational fashion, such as by textual displays or other informational passages, to identify and represent authorship, production credits, and performances of the applicable artist or band in connection with the exploitation of applicable Digital Masters).

Notice of any such change will be sent to you by email at least seven (7) days prior to its effective date. In the event that you do not consent to any such proposed changes, your sole recourse shall be to terminate the Term of this DDA, by notice to us as provided above, and your failure to do so within ten (10) days of the date of any such email from us to you shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.
9. Indemnification: You agree to defend at your own expense, any claim or action brought by any third party against REFORMATORY RECORDS for actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright or similar intellectual property right (including, but not limited to, misappropriation of trade secrets) based upon this DDA. You further agrees to indemnify and hold REFORMATORY RECORDS harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, and expenses (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) associated with any such claim or action incurred by REFORMATORY RECORDS You agree to give REFORMATORY RECORDS, and REFORMATORY RECORDS agrees to give You, as appropriate, prompt written notice of any written threat, warning or notice of any such claim or action against You or REFORMATORY RECORDS, as appropriate, which could have an adverse impact on REFORMATORY RECORDS use of same, provided You or REFORMATORY RECORDS, as appropriate, knows of such claim or action.

I'm getting married in the Bahamas in August and it's going to be steaming hot. What should my fiance wear for the wedding? I was thinking a nice linen suit, but he's not sure. Any suggestions?
Linen is great for the tropics, but if it's August, your fiance might want to forego the coat and just wear a loose shirt and pants, perhaps with a tie, for your wedding. A light cotton suit is another option; it breathes better and won't crease as quickly as linen does. What he wears depends on the formality of the wedding; if you'll be barefoot on the beach, a casual shirt and pants for him is as fitting as traditional formalwear. If you're still not sure what's appropriate, talk to someone at the resort where you'll marry to find out what other recent grooms have worn.

WSDOT says steel pipe is cause of Bertha blockageon January 3, 2014 @ 2:05 pm (Updated: 9:42 pm - 1/3/14 )
More Photos
See all photos
WSDOT says crews finally were able to lower water pressure and remove enough soil from in front of the world's largest drilling machine to inspect the top 15 feet of the chamber.
"This inspection showed an 8-inch-diameter steel pipe protruding through one of the many openings in the cutterhead. We believe the steel pipe is a well casing installed by WSDOT in 2002 after the 2001 Nisqually earthquake to better understand how groundwater flows through this area," said a statement from WSDOT.
Officials admit the pipe's location was charted in reference materials used to plan the project. But at a press conference announcing the findings, Matt Preedy, WSDOT Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program Deputy Administrator, refused to comment on whether someone failed to read the documentation or alert project engineers about the pipe.
The pipe has damaged the tunnel machine, but it's too soon to determine the extent of the damage.
"What we're faced with right now is a cutter head that needs more cutting tools replaced before we can mine forward," said Chris Dixon, Seattle Tunnel Partners project manager.
It's too soon to determine the cost or timetable for repairs, and the impact on the overall project schedule, Dixon said.
"It's a very challenging environment underground, there's only so much we can do from the surface, there's only so much we can do from the TVM [tunnel machine]," Dixon said.
A source told KIRO Radio Dec. 25 that officials knew then about the pipe and damage to Bertha, but officials continued to deny it until Friday's revelations despite repeated inquiries.
Preedy admitted at the news conference they knew Bertha was damaged several weeks ago. But he insisted they didn't know if it was caused by a foreign object or normal wear until this week's inspection.
WSDOT says other potential factors include changing soil conditions that may have caused excessive wear of cutting tools, potential objects in front of the cutterhead or objects in the lower portion of the excavation chamber that still aren't visible.
"We have probed 12 holes and encountered other obstructions in six of those holes," said Dixon. Those obstructions are believed to be metallic as well. Bertha can't cut through metal despite it's massive size.
"We'll continue to work with STP to determine ways to make up time lost during the blockage. Our focus is now on addressing this issue safely and in a timely manner so we can resume tunneling as soon as possible," Preedy said.

Understanding Cemetery Symbols
Oftentimes, visitors are curious as to the meaning and origin of cemetery headstone symbols. Below is a brief explanation of the some symbols found on Jewish cemeteries.
The 2 Hebrew letters (Pey and Nun) are an acronym for the words "Po Nikbar" meaning "Here Lies. It appears at the top of Jewish monuments."
Monuments in the shape of a tree trunk are symbolic of the "tree of life" cut down. Often used at the gravesite of someone who died young.
The ancient sign of the Cohayn. Originating from Aaron, Moses' brother. The Cohayn holds his hands this way when performing the Aaronic benediction over the Jewish people. This priestly order is passed down from generation to generation.
The sign of the Levite. Descendents of the tribe of Levi. The Levi would assist the Cohayn in his holy tasks. Often a Levi monument will show a hand pouring water over the hand of the Cohayn with a pitcher of water.
Candesticks. Most common symbol at the gravesite of a Jewish woman as a symbol of her piety.
A draped urn or vessel on top of a monument is symbolic of the body that houses the soul. The draping is a sign of grief.
A lamb at the gravesite of a small child is usually found on older, Victorian-era Jewish cemeteries.
A Mausoleum is a stone structure for above ground burials, often used as a family lot. The mausoleum is not commonly found on Massachusetts Jewish cemeteries.

Dollar General ranked 20thon the list released in October 2012, based on 2011 sales. It reported 2012 sales rising 8.2 percent from a year ago to a record $16 billion. In addition, the retailer said its private label penetration grew from an estimated 22 percent in 2011 to 23.6 percent in 2012.
That would leave Dollar General with about $3.776 billion in private label sales in 2012, which would put it past CVS for 16thon the PLB Top 35 list, just behind Ahold USA and Sobey's.
"As part of our ongoing efforts to increase our gross margin rate, we added more than 200 private brand items in 2012 and continue to expand other private and proprietary brands in consumables," CEO Rick Dreiling told analysts on a conference call, according to transcripts from Seeking Alpha. "We now carry nearly 2,100 private brand SKUs in consumables with strong sales growth in food, perishables, candy and snacks, home cleaning and health and beauty. We exited 2012 with a private brand penetration of 23.6 percent, and private brands grew faster than overall sales."
Same-store sales grew for the 23rdconsecutive year, the retailer reported, up 4.7 percent from 2011.
Dreiling said that improved quality, branding, packaging and presentation helped grow seasonal and home categories in 2012, while better quality helped pick up non-consumable sales.
As Dollar General rolls out a new phase of merchandising in 2013, Dreiling said the mix of sales will be weighted toward consumables.
"It's more on the consumables side, particularly focused on HBA," he said, according to the Seeking Alpha transcripts. "We had several categories that we continue to be under-penetrated on the HBA, and we believe that's where we have the greatest opportunity for sales growth, and ultimately, margin enhancement down the road."
In response to a question from analysts, Dollar General CFO David Tehle said the retailer expected its private labels to lead gains in margin in 2013.
"Probably in order of importance, the private brand, No. 1; foreign sourcing, a very close No. 2; shrink; and then transportation," he said of margin growers. "So as we look at it, those are all multiyear initiatives that we have. And again, there's still plenty of room in all of those in terms of adding to our long-term growth in our margin."

1985 -1995 5.0L Ford V8s with Hydraulic Roller Lifter Cams ACCU-DRIVE CAM GEAR DRIVE SYSTEM Installation Manual
Filed Under (Ford Manuals) by admin on 03-01-2012
1. Remove stock timing cover. Rotate engine to Top Dead Center of cylinder #1 so that the timing marks on the original crank and cam sprockets are directly lined up with each other, i.e. the mark on the crank sprocket will be straight up and the mark on the cam sprocket will be straight down. Using suitable gear puller, remove stock crank and camshaft sprockets and timing chain. Refer to repair manual if necessary for individual steps. 2. Assemble Accu-Drive as shown in Figure 1. 3. Install crank gear with the large inside chamfer toward rear of engine and timing mark toward front of engine. Make certain crankshaft drive key is aligned with keyway of the crank gear before assembling. 4. See Figure 2 "Camshaft Gear Assembly"for correct assembly. (a) Place well-lubricated thrust washer on the rear (block) side of cam gear. (b) The Edelbrock Accu-Drive system is furnished with an 0.032″ thick thrust ring that installs between the back side of the cam gear and the front side of the camshaft thrust plate. Torque the thrust plate retaining capscrews to 9-12 ft./lbs. NOTE: No thrust button is used on Ford engines. (c) Select the desired keyway in the crank gear "0″ (standard), "A" (4ºadvanced at the crank, 2º at the cam), or "R" Place a small amount of clay on the front end of both axles as shown in Figure 3. NOTE: It will be necessary to cut material off rib inside front cover to hold idler gears in place. (b) Install front cover with gasket in place. (c) Remove cover and measure the thickness of the compressed clay. It should be .005″-.030″. Do not tighten cover down until proper clearance has been obtained. Without sufficient clearance, there is risk of cracking the cover when tightened down. (d) If clearance is less than .005, you will need to grind off idler axle as shown to obtain proper clearance. If clearance is greater than .090, replace left side (larger idler side) stud with tapered end axle provided in the kit. Re-install idler assembly and recheck for minimum clearance between block and front cover. 8. With all gears correctly in mesh and timed, tighten the camshaft capscrew to 35 ft./lbs. It would also be a good idea to use Locktite™ or equivalent on the bolt threads prior to final assembly. 9. Lubricate all gears and bearings with engine oil. 10. Re-install the front cover. 11. Re-install all components removed in preparation for step 1

|It's nice that the episode gives us a non-violent resolution rather than just having the crew find a way to kill the creature as in 'The Immunity Syndrome'.
|Body Count :
|Factoid :
|This is the first TAS episode to feature Lieutenant Arex.
My year for this episode is estimated from the Stardate; it is one of a group of TAS episodes set between 'The Empath' and 'The Mark of Gideon'.
|Quote :
|"Am I doing the right thing, Bones? Once I said that man rose above primitiveness by vowing, 'I will not kill today.'" - Kirk to McCoy
The planet Alondra is destroyed by an enormous cloud floating through space. The cloud is heading for Mantilles, a planet inhabited by nearly 100 million people. Whilst investigating, the Enterprise is pulled inside the cloud. Kirk must find a way to stop what appears to be a huge living being, even if it means destroying the Enterprise within it.
We've seen episodes where a ship ends up inside a giant living thing several times now, most notably "The Immunity Syndrome", "The Cloud" and "Bliss". This episode is at least somewhat original in that it predates all but the first such episode. It also puts a slightly original spin on things in that the crew actually manage to establish communication with the entity and reason with it, something that very rarely happens in these kinds of epsiodes. You have to wonder what happened to the entity eventually - one might presume that it stopped eating inhabited worlds for good, but is it still eating uninhabited moons and planets?

New Yorkers are navigating slippery, sloppy streets after the latest winter storm which brought freezing rain and sleet to the five boroughs.
The overnight storm forced the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to issue a Winter Weather Advisory, urging transit riders to allow extra time to get around, take caution on transit platforms and stairs and carefully board trains and buses.
Sanitation crews were still out late Wednesday salting roads and shoveling the ice.
City officials say a number of roads have been cleared, but residents are still being asked to use caution when heading out.
"The major roadways are in good condition. The Department of Sanitation did a very good job on those," said Office of Emergency Management Commissioner Joseph Bruno. "We are into the side streets, all of the side streets and salting there. There's not really much to plow at this point so I think we're making some good progress overall."
A handful of private and parochial schools were closed or had delayed openings.
And while the Department of Education announced that public schools would remain open Wednesday, some students told NY1 they did not feel safe leaving the house.
"This is very dangerous right now. I don't feel safe walking on this," said a student. "I don't understand how they didn't cancel schools. Anybody could hurt themselves really badly here. It's like you're ice skating."
"It's bad but, you know, she wants to go to school and I'm a father and I gotta do what I gotta do," said a parent.
Armed with ice picks, men chipped away at the sidewalk and salted them so neighbors could safely pass. But that didn't help with the puddles, which added to the obstacle course.
"This is horrible," said a Queens resident. "I'm waiting for the snow to melt so far. This is just insane. My shoes are soaked. Every time I come out, I need rain boots."
Delays were abundant on New Jersey Transit, Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road.
Alternate side parking regulations were suspended on Wednesday but drivers still had to feed parking meters.
The MTA prepared for the bad weather since Monday night by sending de-icing trains to keep the rails in working order.
MTA officials urge New Yorkers to check www.mta.info for the latest transit service changes.
Meanwhile, cancellations are racking up at the nations airports – with more than 5,000 flights grounded Wednesday alone. John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark-Liberty were all operating on limited schedules. Air travelers are advised to call their airline before heading out.
The monster storm that moved across the country hit Chicago O'Hare and Midway Airports. Flights in and out of Chicago-O'Hare, an American Airlines hub, remain suspended until Thursday.
The weather is also causing headaches for travelers heading to the Super Bowl.Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, another major hub for American, was closed Tuesday with 800 flights cancelled. More than 1,000 flights were expected to be cancelled Wednesday, as well.
QueensSaints Joachim and Anne School - two-hour delay (10 a.m. open)St. Sebastian School in Woodside - two-hour delayThursday's Child St. Mel School - two-hour delay (10 a.m. open) Divine Mercy Catholic Academy - two-hour delay

Designed for the Prefab 20/20-An Open Ideas International Competition 2009, the Hummer House is an exploration into the potential uses of the soon to be extinct monster SUV. HplusF researched the Hummer's body shell and determined that the sheet metal components that assemble into a body shell were strong enough structurally to be used as the exterior for a capsule style dwelling. By turning the body on its nose and joining 8 together, they created a family home with all the necessary amenities inside.
The home includes a 12 volt electrical system, OEM refrigeration, heating, media components, and a clever use of the nooks created from the cars shape. Solar photovoltaic panels, soy based insulation, grey water recycling, and geothermal heating and cooling help to push the recycled housing concept towards greater sustainability. The Hummer House can also exist as smaller units utilizing only 4 cars, or it can be expanded with even more to create larger multi-unit dwellings. HplusF received an honorable mention in the prefab design competition for their concept in 2009.

An all-mahogany body with Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers for Classic mid-60's SG tone.
The Epiphone Limited Edition 1966 G-400 Electric Guitar is a Gibson-authorized version of their great '66 SG with a solid mahogany body and slim-taper set mahogany neck. Some subtle-yet-significant differences make this one special. Instead of the small, lower horn-only pickguard, it has the larger pickguard so there aren't any pickup mounting rings around the high-output Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers (the '66 SG had P-90 pickups).
Separate volume and tone controls for each of the pickups give you complete control of your sound and allows for a miriad of tones. The LockTone tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide more sustain and make string changing easier. The deep double-cutaway body lets you reach all 22 frets with ease. Case sold separately.
- Resonant solid mahogany body
- super fast Slim-taper set-in mahogany neck
- Versatile Alnico Classic Pro humbuckers with coil-split
- Fully adjustable tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece
- Wilkinson white Keystone style tuners
- Case sold separately

The dashing couple led a very cosmopolitan life, between Caracas and New York and travels to far-flung locales. "I met Carolina when they first came here," says the venerable Aileen Mehle, the former society chronicler for Women's Wear Daily and W magazine who penned the infamous Suzy column. "I can remember what she looked like. I can remember the dress she wore. We used to go to the same dinner parties. She was so lovely looking. At a dinner at Kitty Miller's (the famed New York, Palm Beach, and London social), she had curly blonde hair, almost in ringlets, and was wearing a beautiful white lace dress. She looked like some kind of a glorious doll."
Herrera soon found herself running around with the kings of nightlife. "Andy [Warhol] and I used to see each other all the time with Bianca [Jagger] then," she recalls. "When he did my painting, I went to his Factory, and he took 40 or 60 Polaroids." The finished piece now hangs upstairs and features a very serious Carolina circa 1979, with high-gloss red lips, opulent blue eyeshadow, and mythically sized earrings, capturing an imperiousness offset by his poppy use of color. "He was quiet, but he did say key things in a very funny way," says Herrera. "Andy seemed to be very timid, shy, but he liked being very successful. I remember when he wanted to be a fashion model. He was cast in a Halston show. Bianca and I were in the audience, and when Andy walked in and saw us there, instead of going backstage, he stopped and said hello to all of us. That was the end of that."
One of her other nearest and dearest friends was Robert Mapplethorpe, whom she met on a flight to Mustique in 1976. A hauntingly beautiful portrait he took of her on the island still hangs in a position of prominence in her office. "He would say, 'You have to let me photograph you,' and I would say, 'Why?' And he said, 'Because I'm going to be so famous, and you're going to be so mad you didn't!'"
He captured her in several iconic photos, from the soft to the severe. Her eyes belie a vulnerability that her glamour masks. "An aunt of mine bought a book of Robert's and said, 'You know you are in a pornographic book. You're sitting there with a hat and a veil very proper, but everybody else is naked.'
"He did one before he died," she says. "He said, 'Come, I need to do one before I go.'"
In the midst of those heady days, Herrera had two more daughters (Carolina and Patricia), and as the flash and cash of the '80s descended, she realized she wanted to do something different with her life. "I went to Diana Vreeland and said, 'You know what? I'm going to design fabrics.' And she said, 'Oh, that's so boring. Why don't you do something else? Why don't you do a collection of dresses? It's much more fun.'"
At the urging of Vreeland, along with fashion aristos Count Rudi Crespi and his wife, Consuelo, Herrera designed a collection in 1981 and held a show at the exclusive Metropolitan Club. "They never had a show there before mine," says Herrera with a laugh. "It was a madhouse. I had live music, a pianist playing Cole Porter songs. I thought it was divine, but there were many problems. Some of the models' looks weren't even finished. Iman's hem wasn't done, so we had to use pins, but she was so happy to work with the pins, and she looked fabulous."
Mehle recalls Herrera's behind-the-scenes reaction, when her nerves got the best of her epic reserve. "She cried a lot after her first show, and it was very well accepted, but it took so much of her, and she was so new to the game. I remember Reinaldo saying, 'She has to stop crying. She should not cry.' She was just a little baby in this work, and she'd done so well right out of the box."
That was just the beginning of Herrera's design career. Not only was the line scooped up by Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue, but Jackie O. began wearing Herrera's fashions regularly. "When I started, she came to me, and I dressed her a lot for those last years," says Herrera. "It was fun to have her there and a great inspiration. She was so natural and knew exactly what she wanted and what looked good on her."
The two ladies shared many qualities--iconic style, a sophisticated mien, and a reluctance for self-promotion. "Jackie had a great sense of history and responsibility for what and who she was. She said, 'I am nothing. He was the president. I was only the first lady, so I don't have anything to say.'" And even though she spent the rest of her life being continually tailed by paparazzi, she managed them with a coolness modern-day celebs can only aspire to.
"Jackie ignored them. She didn't fight; she didn't do anything. She always said you have to go on with your life and pretend they aren't there. But when you see her photographs, in all of them, she still looks fabulous."
Despite Herrera's success, she's managed to keep her career separate from her home life. "When she went in the business and started to become a big great success, she never talked about it," says Wyatt. "You would never think that she's this great designer, even today. She is capable of pigeonholing that part of her life, which is a goodly amount of her life obviously, where it doesn't cross over with her social life or her friends or her husband or children, and to me that is remarkable."
Now 30 years into her career, she's also cultivated an eponymous label of elegant classics into a separate lifestyle brand called CH Carolina Herrera. With more than 70 stores worldwide, Herrera is extending her manicured reach across the globe.
"The way she is as a person reflects directly into her brand," says friend, fan, and fellow designer Donna Karan. "As a woman, she's humorous, supportive, gracious, stylish, and dignified, and she communicates all this to her customer."
Clearly, it is Herrera's rich personal life that has paved the gilded way to her success. Her incredible sense of self, her family, and her marriage, above all, have given rise to her éclat yet ultimately kept her wonderfully grounded. "Back in the good old days, when we used to go to the Buckleys, before the Buckleys were gone, we used to laugh and scream and carry on," says Mehle. "That's the way Carolina and Reinaldo are; they're laughers and screamers and carry-oners. To me, Carolina has always seemed the woman that has it all. And deservedly so," says Mehle. "She is the divinest of the divine."

These are fairly comfortable. In one of the two smooth colors they work well for both casual and office settings. The fit is as sized.
Sized as Expected
For about any in-town use.
I find my Merrell Realm-Lace shoes to be very comfortable and durable. I wear them daily in my civil engineering practice, both at my office and in the field, where I often visit muddy and rough surfaced construction sites. The shoes have a clean and practical engineering look, and as if by design, the shoes clean up nicely. Although the 43-inch long laces tend to wear out after a few months, new laces are available from Merrell. Despite this situation, I find the laces tend to hold their position after being tied, which is an important attribute. This seems to be a problem for other shoes with laces that are manufactured with too much synthetic fiber that slip when tied. I rate the overall performance of my Merrell Realm-Lace shoes as excellent.
Sized as Expected
I use them as office and field shoes.
I have owned several pairs of Merrell hiking boots and loved them. I decided to take a chance on the casual shoes and was not disappointed. They fit like a glove right out of the box.
Sized as Expected
wear every day to work
This is my second pair of Realms. I think this is a great shoe!
Sized as Expected
daily wear
I was looking for a shoe I could wear to work but would also provide great support. Too many dress shoes have zero arch support and feel like flip-flops. I am an avid runner and battled arch pain the last year or so so I really researched what shoe would be able to handle being worn for 9 hours every day. I bought these shoes several months ago and couldn't be happier. Not only have they been great for me feet, but they have also kept them warm and dry in the winter months. After trudging through the all the weather we have had in Philadelphia the last few months I can say with confidence these are truly all-weather shoes. A quick wipe from a rag and they look brand new. I have recommended all my friends buy these shoes and consider the Merrell brand for other
Thanks for the review! We're happy our Realm Lace have the support and style you need for your work day.
Sized as Expected
Wear them to work or if I want to dress anything up a bit

WASHINGTON, DC, December 6, 2012 - For law enforcement and medical personnel who may come in contact with victims of human trafficking more often than others, learning to recognize and identify victims of trafficking is crucial and can mean the difference between saving a life and losing one.
However, it can be difficult to identify trafficking victims. Below are some visible signs that may be used to help identify victims of human trafficking and questions that law enforcement, medical personnel, school and shelter personnel, and even the general public can use to help to identify victims of human trafficking. Recognizing that someone has been trafficked can be the first step in saving their life.
The following signs are by no means a comprehensive list, but they are a starting point for identifying trafficking victims:
Unusual absences from school and running away from home.
References about travel to other cities.
Withdrawn behavior and fear.
Much older boyfriend/friends.
Lacking control over his/her own schedule and lack of identification.
Signs of drug addiction.
Sudden changes in clothing and acquisition of expensive items such as electronics.
Hungry or malnourished.
Dressed inappropriately for the surroundings or weather.
Talks about sexual situations that are much too 'old' for their age, uses street terms for trafficking such as 'the life' 'the track'.
Previously untreated medical conditions like broken bones, bruises and cuts.
Branding by burning/cutting or tattoos, signs of torture cuts and scarring.
Above all else, listen to your heart. If something feels wrong, it most likely is. Listen to what the potential victim is saying and ask questions. Some questions to help identify a victim of sex trafficking include:
Why aren't you speaking for yourself? Who is the person with you here?
What work are you doing? Are you being paid? How are you being paid? Where is the money you are being paid?
Can you leave your job? Are you being held against your will?
Are you being threatened?
Where do you live?
Do you have identification? If not, why?
Why are you so nervous? What are you afraid of? Who are you afraid of?
Paying attention to signs and symptoms can make a significant difference in the life of a trafficking victim. Being aware could literally save their life.

My memory is like a trap door at all times and I did not forget where I parked the other day. And I most certainly did not wander around all the parking aisles (carrying a bag of dog food so as to not appear obvious) looking and looking and looking and looking for my car. And I definitely did not remember 15 minutes later that I parked on the side of the store.
I am incredibly in shape and my arms are definitely not sore from carting around the above mentioned bag of dog food while wandering aimlessly through the Target parking lot.
I do not reserve serving frozen blueberries (the kids favorite food) only for bath days.
I (of course) bathe my children every day.
I do not scope out the cashiers and always choose the youngest looking ones, preferably of the male gender for the sole reason that they never give me any problems with using coupons. Never. Ever.

Gosh! I never do that, haha! :) I also do NOT under any circumstances encourage the girls to have conversations with the cashiers in the check-out line. That would just be too distracting for them! :)
The other day they told the guy that he was a handsome prince. The poor boy had probably never heard that from anyone except his momma, and I don't think that he stopped blushing the whole time. :) Of course, I'm just waiting for the day when an inappropriate comment pops out of their sometimes too honest mouths and backfires on my little system! :)

Jupiter is one of the latest's attractions in the market for Indian automobiles. Recently launched by the TVS Company, the Jupiter is regarded as the close competitor of Honda Activa-i. The first had been said to be accompanied with good looks and exteriors along with the advanced technology. Here are the few points on the basis of which we can compare the TVS Jupiter and Honda Activa-i:
Exterior Qualities:- Both of these motorbikes are similar when it comes to the installation of headlamps and alloy wheels. Headlamps are of 35W in both of the models, providing powerful ignition. Stand alarm is not present in any of the models. Fuel tanks also have similar capacities for storage being 5.3 liters. Thus, the difference can be seen only in the case of ground clearance. The Jupiter has ground clearance of 150 mm, while that of Honda Activa-i is 165 mm.
Available Colors:- The TVS Jupiter is available in colors like white, black, grey and red. The Honda Activa-i is available in variety of colors such as; red, black, white, purple and beige. Accordingly, we can say that the Activa-i has more choices to offer to the customers.
Mileage and Engine Power:- When it comes to the engine performance and power, it is necessary to study the maximum power, engine capacity and torque of both the models. Here is a small chart of technical specifications that is easier way to find out the best model.
|TVS Jupiter
|Honda Activa-i
|Engine Type
|Single stroke, OHC engine
|4-stroke and air cooled engine
|Displacement of the machine
|Maximum power
|8bhp@ 7500 rpm
|8bhp 7500rpm
|Available torque
|8Nm at 5500rpm
|8.4Nm at 5500 rpm
|62 kmpl
|60 kmpl
Other Features:- There are some other interesting features which are different in both of these bikes. If we discuss about the suspension, front side is telescopic in Jupiter while it is hydraulic spring loaded in Activa-i. The rear suspension of Junpiter is Hydraulic damper while that of Activa-i's is spring loaded hydraulic. Both the models offer foot rest and self-start. However, Pass light is available only in Jupiter, not in Activa-i.
Price:- The Jupiter is available at 44,750 rupees in India, while the Honda Activa-i is priced at Rs. 43,809. The price has a very negligible difference, of nearly 900 rupees. Thus, it can be held that both the models are available at same price.

News & Announcements
The 75th anniversary Homecoming event on Feb. 7 and Feb. 8 was a success, with more than 5,000 students, faculty, staff and alumni in attendance.
The event brought a record number of Broncos -- 2,757 -- to Kellogg Gym to cheer the men's basketball team on to a 73-53 win against Cal State East Bay on Saturday. The women's basketball team also pulled a 75-70 overtime win over Cal State East Bay.
"Homecoming was amazing," says Dean of Students Rebecca Keeton. "It was so much fun to have alumni back on campus. They loved seeing the changes to the campus, and they loved spending time together. It was heartwarming." Read the complete story on PolyCentric.
When Thavery Lay-Bounpraseuth decided to apply for colleges, she faced far more obstacles than the average student. Lay-Bounpraseuth immigrated to the United States when she was 5 as a refugee from Cambodia. Since her parents had no experience with the American university system, she had to learn the ropes on her own.
"You wonder, who do you ask? What questions do you ask?" Lay-Bounpraseuth says. "I didn't even know where to start."
Now, as coordinator of the Asian & Pacific Islander Student Center, she has a chance to provide guidance for students facing the same challenges that she did. On Saturday, Feb. 15, Cal Poly Pomona hosted a college expo for students from underserved Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. Read the complete story on PolyCentric.
