Fifth-year Nevada women's basketball head coach Jane Albright announced the signing of two prep standouts
Nov. 15, 2012
RENO, Nev. -
Fifth-year Nevada women's basketball head coach Jane Albright announced the signing of two prep standouts to National Letters of Intent, the school announced Thursday.
Ashlee Jones, a 5-9 guard from Sacramento, Calif., and Iman Lathan (pronounced ee-mon), a 5-9 guard from Murrieta, Calif., both signed with the Wolf Pack and will enroll next fall.
"We are excited to add two talented and athletic guards to our team," Albright said. "Both of them come from outstanding high schools and AAU programs, and have had great individual and team success. Ashlee and Iman are great students in the classroom and are also young people of great character that match the vision of Nevada women's basketball."
Jones led her Bradshaw Christian High School team to a 11-1 league finish during the 2011-12 season as a captain, averaging 19.2 ppg., 5.4 rpg., 2.9 spg., and 2.5 apg. She was named All-State Division V Third Team and received All-Metro Honorable Mention following her junior season.
"Ashlee is a three point specialist who can score quickly and in many ways," Albright said. "She handles the ball well and gets up and down the floor quickly. We expect her to be a combination guard and to contribute immediately."
Lathan played the 2011-12 season for Temecula Valley High School where she averaged 25 ppg., 2.8 rpg., and 1.9 spg. She was named to the All-CIF Southern Section and All-Valley (Temecula Valley) teams after leading the Golden Bears to the quarterfinals in the Southwestern League. Lathan also received Temecula Valley High School's Scholar Award and was named Offensive Player of the Year for her team. She will finish out her senior year playing at Perris High School.
"Iman has all the tools to become a defensive specialist for us," Albright said. "Her athleticism allows her to attack the rim to score or get a teammate open. Her explosiveness will make an immediate impact in our system. Rebounding, making hustle plays, and getting to the foul line are strengths of her game."
Albright Names Captains
Additionally, Jane Albright announced today that members of the team voted juniors Danika Sharp, Arielle Wideman, and sophomore Emily Burns as team captains for the 2012-13 season.
"All three have done a good job of leading our team this year after a difficult 2011-12 season," Albright said. "Each has had great success of leading their respective high schools in the past and I am excited for them to lead us in our first year in the Mountain West."

Otter Valley grad honored as women's advocateBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | April 17,2014
Provided photo Tegan DonnellyBRANDON — Tegan Donnelly never considered herself outspoken. But that changed during her junior year at Plymouth State University when she took up the cause of women's issues.
Her advocacy on the part of women didn't go unnoticed by the school, which honored Donnelly this month with its annual Powerful Outstanding Women's Advocate award.
"It was actually a great surprise," said Donnelly, a 2010 graduate of Otter Valley Union High School. "I didn't realize that it was an award at all until my boss told me and then I went to the ceremony and didn't realize how much of an honor it was."
In her remarks, PSU President Sara Jayne Steen said Donnelly "has been one to stand up for women, to speak out against sexism and misogyny and to help educate people on women's issues, and she has done so with tact and respect."
Donnelly is currently a legislative intern at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England and a volunteer at NARAL Pro-Choice in Concord, N.H.
Donnelly said she became passionately involved in women's issues after returning last year from the National Young Feminists Leadership Conference in Washington.
Angela Ricciardi, a tutor coordinator and a member of the college's Women's Studies Council, was one of four people who nominated Donnelly for the award.
Ricciardi said Donnelly exhibited an unwavering commitment to promoting issues important to women.
"She genuinely cares about women's issues in the classroom and outside," Ricciardi said. "She's not afraid to have uncomfortable conversations, but she's very tactful, very respectful of other people's beliefs."
She said for Donnelly to have those qualities is "pretty rare for someone her age."
There are a number of issues of concern to women, including equal pay for equal work.
"I think if I do the same task as a man, if I have the same experience as a man, I should be paid just the same," Donnelly said. "Why should my reproductive organs keep me from that."
Donnelly will graduate next month with a bachelor's degree in history with a double minor in women's studies and creative writing.
After graduation, she'll continue her work promoting women's issues as the volunteer coordinator for NARAL Pro-Choice New Hampshire.
Donnelly's guardians are Beth and Tim Rand of Brandon.

3 Procedures Currently Used by Federal Agencies to Prepare Early Estimates :: As part of this study, the committee reviewed the procedures currently used by seven federal agencies to prepare early estimates, which in most agencies are roughly equivalent to the pre-program- ming, program, concept/schematic, and design development estimates discussed in Chapter 1. The seven agencies were: the Department of Energy (Real Property and Facilities Management Divi- sion), the U.S. Air Force (Directorate of Engineer- ing and Services), He U.S. Army (Corps of Engi- neers), the U.S. Navy (Naval Facilities Engineering Command), the U.S. General Services Administra- tion (Public Buildings Service), the U.S. Public Health Service Indian Health Service), and the Veterans Administration (Office of Facilities). The information presenter! is based in part on a recent Federal Construction Council report (Con- sulting Committee on Cost Engineering, 19X7) and in part on input from the agency liaison members of the committee. The general observations and conclusions of the committee are presented at the end of this chapter. In accordance with its charge, the committee's review of current procedures has concentrated on the policies and practices of federal agencies. However, as noted previously, many early estimates for federal projects are prepared by private A-E firms, and a significant percentage of agency budget- related problems undoubtedly are caused by A-E estimating errors (see Figure Act, Appendix A). Recommended actions to reduce such errors are discussed in Chapter 4. PRE-PROGRAMMING ESTIMATES In almost all agencies, pre-programming esti- mates are used for preliminary screening purposes. Such estimates are ordinarily prepared by the engi- neering office in a user installation and generally are of the single unit cost type. The most com- monly used unit for buildings is dollars per square foot; however, pre-programming estimates in the Veterans Administration are sometimes expressed in terms of dollars per hospital bed. The cost of elements other than buildings are usually shown as a lump sum or in terms of some other unit, such as dollars per linear foot for piping. In the Depart- ment of Energy (DoE), parametric estimating sys- tems are sometimes used to check the accuracy of pre-programming estimates; however, the actual estimates that are submitted to DoE headquarters are always traditional order-of-magnitude estimates based on dollars per square foot or some similar unit. In the Department of Defense (DoD), pre-pro- gramming estimates for commonly constructed military facilities are based on average unit prices published by DoD (see Tri-Service Committee on Cost Engineering, 1988~. The DoD pricing guide* covers twenty-seven broad categories of facilities (there are several subcategories under some of the *Each of the three military services actually publishes its own version of the DoD pricing guide; however, all of He versions are essentially identical. 15
OCR for page 15
16 broad categories). The pricing guide shows the average size of each type of facility for two differ- ent fiscal years. The unit costs shown include the cost of built-in equipment, but not the cost of fur- nishings and loose or portable equipment. The cost of site improvements beyond the five foot line also are not included, nor are allowances included for contingencies or administration of Me project by the responsible agency. The pricing guide also includes a chart for adjusting the unit cost of a facility if it is larger or smaller than the average. Finally, the pricing guide gives area cost factors for over 600 locations in the United States and abroad, to permit the average unit cost values to be local- ized. When estimating the cost of facilities not listed in the DoD pricing guide, military users are expected to use whatever cost information is avail- able, such as commercially published pricing guides and local historical cost data. The Corps of Engineers has developed a com- puter system to help their local engineering offices prepare and submit requests for facilities and level one estimates. The system, called the 1391 proces- sor,* is available on a time-sharing basis Dough an Army-wide network. The DoD pricing guide is stored in the 1391 processor system and the system automatically calculates building costs adjusted for year of construction and location. Other military agencies have similar but less sophisticated pro- grams. In the General Services Administration (GSA), pre-prog~amming estimates are prepared in accor- dance with the General Construction Cost Review Guide for Federal Office Buildings, which shows ranges of unit costs in dollars per gross square foot for seven types of facilities: three categories of office buildings plus general storage space, base- ment parking space, conference and training space, and open-deck parking structures (see Public Bu~ld- ings Service, 1987~. The unit costs include allow- ances for construction change orders, normal site work and landscaping, and art work. The unit costs do not include the cost of design or construction management services, site acquisition or demoli- tion work, unusual site work, special functional spaces like laboratories, or special building fea- tures or systems. Indices are provided to permit unit costs to be adjusted to reflect differences in construction costs in different locations. Pre-programming estimates in GSA are used to EARLY COST ESTIAIATES FOR FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS make an economic assessment of space procure- ment options (e.g., whether to build a new building, purchase a building, or lease space). Such assess- ments are made in accordance with Office of Man- agement and Budget Circular A-104. It is interesting to note that in the early 1980s, GSA instituted a sophisticated procedure for estab- lishing construction budgets on the basis of the amount of `'rent" that GSA could charge the occu- pants of the building. The procedure was called the "Capitalized Income Approach to Project Budget- ing" (Public Buildings Service, 1981~. While the project budget established through the procedure was more detailed than a typical pre-programming estimate, it was used for preliminary screening proposes as well as for requesting congressional funding and project control. The use of the proce- dure was discontinued because the required analy- ses were complex and highly sensitive to certain economic assumptions. The Indian Health Service (IHS) also distributes an estimating manual to its centers which provides data and worksheets for estimating the cost of the two types of facilities commonly constructed by the IlIS: health care facilities and staff quarters (see Hanscomb Associates Inc., 1986~. The cost of health care facilities is estimated on the basis of dollars per gross square foot and the cost of staff quarters is estimated on the basis of dollars per dwelling unit. Data is provided on the basic cost of these facilities plus the cost of "special" items (such as playgrounds and garages) and average site work, for ten locations. Factors are provided to adjust estimates for escalation and for locations different from those given. The manual is used for preparing both pre-pro~nming and concept estimates. For pre-programming estimates, which- are used for preliminary screening purposes, average site condi- tions are ordinarily assumed. The Department of Energy and the Veterans Administration do not distribute pricing guides. Local users in these agencies are expected to use whatever pricing information is available to them. PROGRAM ESTIMATES Program estimates for military construction proj- ects are essentially refined versions of pre-program- ming estimates. The program estimates are mostly used to indicate to design organizations (usually private A-E firms) the approximate budget for a *The number 1391 refers to the 1)oD fonn that military needed facility, and to negotiatie the A-E's design agencies use to indicate a facilities need. fee. Program estimates for Army projects are ordi-

PROCEDURES CURRENTLY USED BY FEDS AGENCIES narily prepared by district offices of the Corps of Engineers.Program estimates for Navy projects are prepared by engineering field divisions of the Na- val Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). Most prog~n estimates for Air Force projects also are prepared by He Corps of Engineers district offices and NAVFAC division offices, since those two services manage most Air Force construction work. However, a limited number of program esti- mates for Air Force projects are prepared by major Air Force commands or Air Force Headquarters. Recently, some of these estimates have been pre- pared using a paramedic estimating system known as the Construction Cost Management Analysis System (COMAS). The COMAS includes a data base with detailed cost breakdowns for several types of facilities commonly constructed by the Air Force, including: administrative buildings, medical buildings, n~n- ways and ta'{iways, and supporting facilities. The COMAS will automatically generate a detailed cost breakdown for a proposed facility by modifying the appropriate prototype breakdown in the data base on the basis of certain modifiers, for which the specifier provides values. The system modifiers permit the estimator to (a) alter the types of sys- tems to be included in the proposed facility, (b) change the size of the facility, (c) reflect market andior bidding conditions, (d) reflect uncertainties about the site, and (e) indicate the anticipated dura- tion of the project. The COMAS evolved from a parametric estimating system developed for He Air Force by a private professional firm (see CRS Group, Inc., 1983). The Air Force has expressed confidence in the accuracy of parametric estimates based on the COMAS and has requested congressional permis- sion to use such estimates as the basis for funding requests when appropriate. Congress has author- ized limited use of paramedic estimates on a trial basis. If the trial is successful, Congress is ex- pected to begin accepting funding requests based on parametric estimates. For the present, most program estimates prepared by the Air Force using the COMAS are used like He concept estimates of other agencies. The Veterans Administration (VA) develops program estimates in approximately the same man- ner as the Army and Navy. Specifically, the pro- gram estimates in He VA are ordinanly developed by cost engineers at VA headquarters and are based to a large extent on VA historical data. In addition, like the military agencies, the VA uses these esti- ~7 maws as a basis for selecting and negotiating with private A-E firms for preliminary design work. Conversely, program estimates in the Depart- ment of Energy and the Indian Health Service are used as the basis for requests to Congress for fund- ing. These agencies are not required to have par- tially completed designs before preparing budget requests. Program estimates in the Indian Health Service are essentially refined versions of pre-prograrnming estimates. Such estimates are prepared by engi- neering offices at IHS centers using the IHS esti- mating manual (as discussed previously). The main differences between a program estimate and a pre- programming estimate lie in the extent to which user needs have been defined and in the amount of analysis included in the estimate's site-work por- tion. In the Department of Energy, program estimates for large projects are ordinarily prepared by private A-E firms, while program estimates for small proj- ects are ordinarily prepared by the staffs of the private firms that operate DoE facilities. The esti- mates are based on some conceptual design work and a limited amount of analysis of materials and equipment needs. DoE does not provide any cost data to the A-E firms or field offices Hat prepare these estimates. CONCEPT/SCHEMATIC AND DESIGN DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATES In the military agencies, the great majority of both conceptlschematic and design-development estimates are prepared by private A-E firms. However, a small percentage of projects are de- signed and estimated by government personnel. Bow concept/schematic and design development estimates for military projects are presented as de- tailed breakdowns, frequently in bow an elemental and trade format (see Appendix D for a more de- tailed discussion of estimating formats). The Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command both provide historical cost information to estimators preparing design devel- opment estimates. In addition, the Corps of Engi- neers makes available to estimators the Computer Assisted Cost Estimating System (CAGES), and the Navy provides a similar system called the Cost Estimating System (CES). Both systems include extensive unit-cost data bases; however, estimators preparing detailed estimates are expected to verify the accuracy of prices taken from the data bases.
OCR for page 15
18 As noted previously, design development esti- mates are frequently used as the basis for funding requests to Congress; however, if a design is more fully developed when a budget request is being prepared, a more detailed estimate may be used. The Veterans Administration also usually bases its budget requests to Congress on a design devel- opment estimate. Such estimates usually are pre- pared by a private A-E firm, and they usually are presented on the basis of an elemental breakdown. A-E's are expected to use their own data in prepar- ing such estimates, but A-E estimates are ordinarily checked against VA historical cost data. The Department of Energy and the Indian Health Service both require A-E's to submit design devel- opment estimates, which are used primarily as a design check to ensure that the project is within budget. Both agencies generally require that de- sign development estimates be broken down on the basis of the CSI (trade) format, and both expect A- E's to use their own cost data in preparing such estimates. COMMITTEE OBSERVATIONS The procedures used by most federal agencies to prepare early estimates for construction are fairly traditional. While the computer estimating systems EARLY COST ELI IMATES FOR PEDER" CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS developed by the Corps of Engineers and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command are useful, the techniques built into the programs are based on traditional estimating concepts. One innovative estimating concept being used is the parametric estimating system developed by the Air Force. Most agencies keep historical cost data and use such information in the preparation of various early estimates. However, except for the three military services, federal agencies apparently do not rou- tinely exchange cost data. The sharing of historical cost data might be inhibited by the fact that the agencies have not adopted common cost estimating terminology and formats, and because the cost data of one agency is not always relevant to another agency. The procedures used by most of the federal agen- cies are not necessary poor or inadequate; in fact, similar procedures are used by many private or- ganizations. The results achieved, in terms of the extent of disparity between early estimates and contract awards, also are in line with the experi- ences of private companies. However, in view of the importance attached to controlling federal ex- penditures and the amount of critical attention esti- mates receive when budgets are exceeded, the committee had expected to see more emphasis on innovative approaches as well as more interagency cooperation.

TV Guide's Senior Critic Matt Roush takes your TV questions. Have a rant, rave or burning question about your favorite show you'd like addressed? E-mail him here!Question: I can't tell you how delighted I was to see The Big Bang Theory hit a series-high 10 million viewers last Monday. It is so nice to see people are finally noticing and watching the funniest sitcom on TV. I just love this show. I know it is ridiculously early, but do you think Jim Parsons will get an Emmy nomination this year? Sheldon has become the funniest character on TV, and the creativity and difficulty of learning all the science really makes Parsons a standout. Like I said, I know it is early, but what do you think of his chances, and how about The Big Bang Theory getting a nomination for best comedy show? — Scott G.Matt Roush: Isn't it fun when good things happen to great shows? The steady growth of Big Bang has been one of the few positive developments this fall, and since the Emmy system does seem to respond to success, I'm thinking it's very possible that the show's profile will grow enough in its sophomore season to make it likely that Jim Persons will break through with a deserved nomination this year. This week's episode, about his feud with Penny, was one of the funniest yet; the opening gag featuring Klingon Boggle was priceless, and watching the geek squad get hooked on America's Next Top Model (with cameos at the end by two of this season's finalists) was about as good as crossover plugs (CBS to CW) get. Much as I like the show, I think Parsons is probably the best shot for a nomination. I'd put this and The New Adventures of Old Christine in the mix for best comedy series any time, but the current Emmy trend is to slight traditional sitcoms in favor of the "hipper" variety of single-camera comedy on display on NBC on Thursday nights or on cable.Quite a bit of Big Bang mail lately. Here's more. This one's from Cathy: "I've been a fan of The Big Bang Theory since the beginning. I love all the characters (even wormy Wolowitz) and think the actors have great chemistry (no pun intended). So I'm really disappointed that Sara Gilbert's horrible Leslie Winkle is now a regular. Her entire purpose seems to be to appear in the cafeteria and call Sheldon a "dumbass." Every. Single. Show. She's rude and insulting and — even worse now — boring. I literally cringe every time she appears on screen. Am I alone in feeling this way? Is this character even necessary? Since you've always been a Big Bang booster, I'd love to hear your opinion on this."She doesn't bother me, but I think it's probably wise for the show to treat her as a recurring regular and use her in relatively small doses, which has been pretty much the case so far. Much as I love the episodes that focus on the core group — again, this week's episode was a classic in that regard — an abrasive character like Leslie is essential to give the characters more comic beats to play with: in this case, someone from the opposite sex who can bait Sheldon as an intellectual nemesis, even as she toys with Leonard sexually. It doesn't surprise me that some fans find her annoying, but then, she's meant to be.Ann writes: "Loved the recent article on the success of The Big Bang Theory. I have loved that show since the first episode, but now have to work Monday nights. Can you tell us why they don't offer full episodes online? The little clips are just not enough!"I'm not an expert on why some shows make deals for free online streaming and others don't, but it often has something to do with whether the show is an in-house production. And since Big Bang (like Two and a Half Men, which also only offers clips on CBS's website) is from Warner Bros., not CBS/Paramount, that's reason enough for me. I know the online option is convenient, especially for shows in such a crowded time period, but it makes sense to me that on occasion they'll try to force your hand to watch something (or at least record it) on TV, which is where it was meant to be seen in the first place.Question: Based on some of the ratings this season, has the much-plagued sitcom genre seen a little momentum throughout the early weeks of the fall? Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, The Office and The New Adventures of Old Christine have at times won their slots or at least shown significant strength. Two and a Half Men continues to impress, and even newcomers like Gary Unmarried and Kath and Kim have been durable in their early days. Add My Name is Earl, Rules of Engagement and Scrubs into the mix, and it seems the networks don't need to hang on to dreck like According to Jim, which benefited from the drought in sitcom hits. I know it's only early days and only Men is a top-20 staple, but I am finding this season to be a step in the right direction for the sitcom format from a ratings and creative direction. And kudos to CBS for opening a second night for their sitcoms, which hasn't been hugely successful but didn't fall down like everyone expected. Yes, we can do without a few of them (Kath and Kim is wretched), but some of the current sitcoms are some of TV's best. The sitcom is on its way back! — Chris C.Matt Roush: I'm all for accentuating the positive, and you make some good points, but when one entire network (ABC) has only one comedy on the fall schedule — though more, including Scrubs, are in the wings for midseason — and when Fox can't sustain a single comedy that isn't a cartoon (again, there are some promising ones in the wings), then it's still a bit early to be celebrating a renaissance. NBC's comedies remain something of an acquired taste, though Office and 30 Rock are on solid footing, but CBS's Monday lineup is undeniably a hit, and most of the shows (especially Big Bang) deserve to be. CBS's Wednesday comedies are sleepers, not disasters, though Christine is perpetually the most underrated of its category. So bottom line: Yes, there is cause for hope, and as always room for improvement, but given the state of the economy, now is the time for the networks to step up and deliver some shows that have no greater ambition than making us laugh our tails off. Fingers crossed.Question: I am absolutely fascinated with Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) on Grey's Anatomy. I love the dynamic between Hunt and Yang and also how we are able to see him at two different points in his life in reference to his posttraumatic stress disorder. He was literally the walking dead in last week's episode until Yang snapped him out of it with her own personal story involving her father's death. Hunt's PTSD will be an interesting thing for Yang and the rest of the hospital staff to deal with. Yang and Hunt also seem to jump past certain areas in terms of how they connect with each other, but I hope that it is not a slow-building relationship. When they first met, there was an instant attraction, they made out and they have already "fixed" each other at one point or another physically. Mentally, both are complete chaos. Derek's comparison of Yang to single malt scotch was a cool analogy, considering that single malt scotch is the snowflake of whisky, Did anyone notice in Hunt's "cameo" the week before, he orders whiskey at Joe's but changes his mind. Foreshadowing? There are some things about Yang that Meredith will never understand, and I think Yang is the only one who can help Hunt come to grips with his PTSD. I also think that Hunt will help Yang get over the debacle that was Burke, but he will force her to be more personal than she has been even with Meredith in order to get through to him. I have high hopes for this character, in spite of all the irregular writing that has plagued others like Izzie and Callie. It is also great to see Kevin McKidd back on television. I thought Journeyman was prematurely cancelled and loved him in Rome. At the same time, I hope the Grey's writers will explore Hunt's PTSD responsibly and not glamorize it for the sake of ratings. — MayaMatt Roush: I agree that Hunt/McKidd is the most encouraging thing to happen to Grey's Anatomy in quite a while. I'm not sure I want the show to explore so fully the PTSD angle that it would be at the expense of the more combative and charismatic sides of his personality, but the instant sparks between him and Yang were electrifying — and I really enjoyed the scene where he humbled himself before Derek and Sloan to say he needed their guidance to operate on a different sort of battlefield. And who wouldn't love someone who has no use for all the hanky-panky going on in this oversexed hospital? Finally, a grown-up! More, more, more of this guy. And by the way, single malt scotch "the snowflake of whisky?" Niiiice.Question: I was completely shocked about Brooke Smith being axed on Grey's Anatomy, especially because it happened so quickly. And even after reading Shonda Rhimes' official statement about why the Erica Hahn character was supposedly let go, I just couldn't find peace in that. In her statement, Rhimes only mentions that they decided to let Smith go because they didn't like where the Callie/Erica relationship was going. Fine, but why would that justify the fact that Smith was fired from the show altogether? This doesn't make sense. I mean if Grey's (or any given show, for that matter) was to write out every character that ends a relationship with another character, there wouldn't be anyone left on the show! If Rhimes is telling the truth, then she just could have ended the Callica relationship and keep Hahn around! The two characters could have dealt with their breakup on screen and move on like any other TV couple. Hahn didn't have to go anywhere. Is it just me or does Rhimes's official reason for axing Smith seems like she's only telling half the truth? — JordanMatt Roush: You have to read between the lines in situations like this. Shonda Rhimes is not likely to be able to come out and say bluntly that the network and/or studio made her fire Brooke Smith — the fault, of course, being more in the writing than in the performance — but early reports about the situation leave you with no other conclusion than her hand was forced in shedding the character and actress so quickly. It was awkward and unfortunate and reflects badly on everyone involved, but with Melissa George and Mary McDonnell coming aboard for a while, let's see if they can help fill the void.Question: Please answer the following questions about Ghost Whisperer: Is the character Jim really leaving? Any spoilers for the next episode? Is Melinda pregnant? — Rachel M.Matt Roush: You know I don't do spoilers, right? I've seen the next two episodes following Jim's death last week, and all I will tell you is that the show is asking you (and the actor David Conrad) to take a giant leap of faith at the end of tonight's episode as it figures out a most original way to keep the show's leading man by Melinda's side, while still hewing to the show's theme of tackling afterlife issues head-on. It's all pretty weird, and I'll be curious to see if the show's fan base (of which I'm not a regular member) will be satisfied by the solution.Question: I have been a fan of Brothers & Sisters since its debut. Through the good (Kevin's wedding, Justin's military service) and the bad (the dull Tommy plotlines), I've always been one of its most ardent supporters. With all this in mind, I am dismayed at this season's pathetic plot. Note to the writers: We don't want the same storyline twice! Nobody cares! For one and a half seasons, the whole crux of the show was the Rebecca plot. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even when Rebecca was officially "de-Walkered" last season. But I absolutely have no interest in the Ryan storyline. None at all. We've been through this exact plot before. It's moot, done, finished! Even if this whole Ryan plot ends up different from the one involving Rebecca, at least 10 episodes will still be wasted in the process. I have no idea why these talented writers would give us the same story twice. It's lazy, sloppy, boring writing! What's next, another hatch on Lost? Or another plot on Desperate Housewives that involves someone being kept prisoner in the basement? I still love the characters on B&S, so I'll continue to watch every Sunday, but the flame that I felt for this show during the first two seasons is quickly flickering out. — SpencerMatt Roush: Yes, I'm almost at the point of "breaking up" with this one myself. The Ryan story is ridiculous, and you make a good point about the redundancy, but I'm also disenchanted when the Walkers act so incredibly childish: Tommy and Kevin brawling at Justin's sobriety ceremony just the latest eye-rolling example. Like you, I'm sticking with it primarily for the cast, and because it's still a decent fit with the miraculously improved Desperate Housewives. But on a night that also gives us The Amazing Race, True Blood, Dexter and The Unit, it's almost becoming that dreaded one show too many to keep up with.Question: I've read on TV Guide's Web site that there's a very real possibility that Mad Men will continue without creator/writer Matthew Weiner. Have you heard any updates about this? I can't imagine that AMC would even consider such a change. Matthew Weiner is Mad Men, and I think I would rather the show be canceled than watch a version that is not a product of Weiner's rich and detailed storytelling. Mad Men needs Matthew Weiner, and we need Mad Men. Any thoughts? — JanMatt Roush: I don't want to imagine Mad Men continuing without Matthew Weiner's nearly legendary obsession with these characters and the world they inhabit. I desperately hope and trust that he'll come to terms with Lionsgate, AMC and whoever else is involved in making the deal. But regardless of how the business side of things turns out, Mad Men will continue, and I'm glad for that. But I pity whoever may attempt to fill his shoes (if it gets to that point) when it comes to withstanding the scrutiny from those of us who pick the show apart, even at its best.Another Mad Men question, from Bill: "Your belief that the women of Mad Men are unlikely to be ignored at the Emmys leads me to some questions about the stunning work of January Jones as Betty. Being that she is Don's wife, the likely spot Jones would submit herself in is as lead actress. But the biggest handicap for her in that slot is that she would be going up against Glenn Close. With that in mind, do you believe that Jones, if nominated, would be a viable contender against Close, or is Close too powerful for Jones to prevail? Secondly, assuming that an unknown like Jones couldn't hope to prevail against a star like Close, do you believe Jones would be justified in submitting herself for consideration not as lead actress but in the supporting actress slot, even though that would put her in direct competition with costar Elisabeth Moss if both women were nominated?"An interesting question. An argument could be made for Betty in both lead and supporting categories. Betty, being part of the show's core couple, certainly qualifies January Jones for a lead-actress nomination, and AMC tells me that's how she'll be submitting herself. But given that she does play a supporting role in Don's life, and isn't featured prominently in a number of episodes, I wouldn't have been shocked to see her in the supporting category, and you're right that she might have had a better chance there, in part because her work is so subtle, she may have trouble measuring up against the showier, more bravura roles played by stars like Glenn Close, Kyra Sedgwick, etc. But does she deserve a best-actress nod? Absolutely. She was astonishing, especially in the depression/breakdown episodes following the fateful dinner party that triggered the Drapers' separation. But if the Emmy nominations reward Mad Men fully, the supporting category should already be plenty full, with Moss and Christina Hendricks at the very least. Let's hope they all get their due.Question: I understand you are a huge fan of Dexter. I used to be a fan, but without Doakes, it's like Dexter has lost some of its spark. Dexter is able to fool everyone, but he wasn't able to fool Doakes. That made for a very entertaining show, especially last season when Doakes started "stalking" Dexter, and we watch knowing any day Doakes was going to discover who Dexter really was. The suspense is gone now. Watching Rita whine about the baby and Dexter is not entertaining. I think the worst thing about this season is how boring Jimmy Smits' character is. What do you think of this? And just a quick comment about the character of Annie on Life On Mars. On the original British version, Annie and Sam had instant chemistry. She had a purpose on the show. In this version, Annie is a throwaway character. If she went away by the next episode, I don't think I would even notice. She's bland and has no chemistry with Sam. I honestly don't believe she's needed on the show. What do you think? — SinaMatt Roush: Regarding Dexter: I felt at the time that the show would have trouble living up to the brilliance of the nearly perfect second season, which peaked in the incredible suspense of the Doakes storyline (especially once he discovered the blood slides). And that has proven to be the case this season, which is a little bit of a letdown, especially when it comes to anything in the police precinct that doesn't involve Dexter. (Angel and the lady vice cop? Are we expected to actually care?) But I disagree with your take on the Jimmy Smits character, which is anything but boring to me. For Dexter to be confronted with the idea of an actual friend, a partner in vigilante crime (with the façade of a prosecutor, yet) who isn't even bound by Dexter's code and who actually alarms Dexter with his zeal to take down his adversaries, that's pretty potent stuff. And the fact that this character is being played by Smits, who up to now has been associated primarily with heroic roles, just adds to the thrill. I'm enjoying this season a great deal — it's still one of the most original and audacious things I've ever seen on TV — but it is noticeably uneven, and it's quite possible the Doakes story will never be equaled. As for Annie on Life on Mars: I guess Gretchen Mol is a bit bland and chirpy, and some of her Psych-101 insights are awfully obvious, but so far I don't find her a drag on what is still an intriguing and ambitious project. (Now Lisa Bonet as Sam's listless 2008 amour? The less of her the better.)Question: Does negative reaction to Legend of the Seeker make a second season less likely? I know many fans of the book are harshly speaking out against the series, but I love the show. — Maria O.Matt Roush: The worst thing that could happen to a show like this is for it to be ignored by its fan base. The show did not get very positive reviews (including from me), and I'm not keeping up with fan reaction, positive or negative. But what will determine Seeker's future has all to do with business: how well it performs in syndication for the local stations and how well it sells in the overseas markets. I haven't seen any early returns yet, but Disney has made quite an investment with launching this new fantasy series into syndication, so I'd expect them to stick with it unless it proves to be an utter dud. But while I'm on the subject of TV fantasy, I wanted to revisit the topic of HBO's adaptation of George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones (the Song of Ice and Fire series). HBO has officially green-lit a pilot, based on a truly terrific (though currently still unfinished) series of novels. This is no guarantee the show will go to series, but it's a good sign.Question: I am really enjoying Ugly Betty this season. It is nice to see the cast outside on the New York City streets, and I think it adds a lot to the show. However, my question is, how do they film the interior shots like the Mode offices and Betty's house? Did they have to create all new sets like the ones in L.A.? I have been wondering about this for weeks. — Rose L.Matt Roush: The way ABC explained it to me is that the Mode office interiors were rebuilt with some things reconfigured from the L.A. set, but the Suarez house was pretty much trucked in from L.A. as is. I agree it's a big plus for them not to have to fake Manhattan anymore. But I'm still waiting for the show to tickle my fancy this season. A little less Mode, a little more heart would be a good start.

Ok, just to put it up here for a couple of reasons, I recomend CCL computers in bradford - www.cclonline.com for all hardware requirements for you school, and personal needs. Very good pricing, and support from them, and they are happy to source most things that you need for your jobs.
Also, whilst on about CCL, IF your account manager was Lyndsey, she is no longer with them. CCL made her redudant on Wednesday last week, and so far CCLs management have failed to tell any of her customers this news, so she's no longer your manager. I am assuming we will be transfering to Mark Shaw, if you want his direct details please PM me and I will forward them on rather than post them on here.

Take part in cultural competitions held by the Tamil Nadu Women Development Corporation
That the rural women, particularly those in the Self-Help Groups, are fully aware of social evils such as female infanticide, gender discrimination, atrocities and so on , came to the fore through the cultural competitions organised by the Tamil Nadu Women Development Corporation at Anna Stadium here on Thursday.
The members of various federations of the SHGs actively participated in the kolam , oratorical, drama and poetry competitions to showcase their awareness on the problems dogging the society.
For instance, through kolam they depicted the freedom for women, woman literacy, female infanticide, gender equity and personal hygiene.
The members of the Ayipettai Federation drew an India map and put the Tamil Nadu emblem at the right place to lay stress on national integration, communal amity, and, importance of preservation of national bird and animal.
The Kumaratchi Federation highlighted the achievements of the incumbent government and delineated certain schemes such as the Green House scheme, total sanitation, protected drinking water and so on, drawn up for improving the lot of the poor and the downtrodden.
The Puliyur Federation emphasised the need for imparting compulsory education for all children from one year to 18 years, voting rights for all those who have attained 18 years, and to inculcate sensitivity to support the destitutes and orphans. They had also unfalteringly drawn up the Panchayat Raj set-up.
Project Officer of the Corporation S. Paulraj said that the event had been rightly named as 'cultural competition' to forge unity among the different sections of the people and to bring to the fore their inherent skills.
Those who participated in the annual competitions had already come out successfully at the Panchayat Union level. Three cash prizes—Rs 5,000, Rs 3,000 and Rs 2,000—would be given away to the winners, first runners-up and the second runners-up in all the four competitions.

How to Make a Cronut-Like Pastry at Home
The cronut™ marries a croissant and a doughnut together. It's, flaky, buttery dough that's deep-fried to golden brown perfection, then filled with cream and glazed. The mastermind behind the craze is pastry chef Dominique Ansel, who invented the circular treat to blend his French upbringing with an American classic. Although Ansel and the rest of the bakerys team are keeping mum on the coveted recipe, The Daily Meal got the inside scoop from a professional pastry chef who used to work for Ansel before he created the cronut on how to make croissant dough and a similar treat at home. Try it out!
By Emily Jacobs
Just Like the Real Thing
Like the original cronut™, we fried our version in grapeseed oil at 350 degrees F to get a golden brown outside and the inside perfectly cooked through. Don't crowd the fryer and leave enough room so that each pastry can be flipped over.

DS is now ready for a size 6. SIX. Insane. Well...I guess that's about right since he's about in 18-24m clothes. Still - HUGE.
He's outgrown my stash I got at a Stride Rite store closing, and he does not like the canvas Koala Kids shoes I got at BRU. His favorite pair are a pair of semi-soft soled Koala Kids, but they didn't stay nice long, and I don't think they come in size 6.
What are your favorite shoes for LO now? And where is the best place to buy them?
We had those shoes in a size 4 - I erred on the small side when I purchased at the store closing sale. Banging my head against the wall for that now. I based my sizing guess off of my 1yo niece...who apparently has small feet and walked earlier than DS. Lesson learned.
There's a Stride Rite Outlet near my mom's house, so hopefully I'll get a chance to check that out in a few weeks.
ETA - Kimbus, you made me remember I bought him some soft-soled shoes to wear at Grandma's house. (We don't wear shoes inside in Hawaii, due to Asian cultural influence and hot weather.) I better check those to see if I need to return them. Sigh... Who's husband is looking for Bigfoot? Was it Crash's? Well, Bigfoot is sleeping in the nursery at my house.
We love Keds for LJ. I wanted to go to Stride Rite and get her some, but when she started walking in the Keds and I could tell she was comfortable I figured I'd save a little cash. We got them at a local shoe store. She's still in a size 4. We'll def. have to buy a bigger size in them later on.
oh and they are white. They have taken quite the beating and aren't pretty at all. But again, it's what she's comfortable in!
Olivia June BFP 12/26/10 EDD 09/01/11 Birthday 08/02/11
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer." Romans 12:12
Caseyk1127:WOW my boys feet are TINY!!!! He just grew into a size 3, seriously! Although I fit in kids shoes so I never expected him to have large feet. He currently has 2 pairs of shoes that he wears regularly, converse and puma. If I can't get to an outlet to buy his shoes then I normally order them from zappos.
I'm right there with you. We JUST moved into 3s and they're just a tad too big.
Finding 3s that aren't soft soled and not $20+ a pair was really hard. I ended up with shoes from quite a few places. Boots from Target, plain black everyday canvas slip-ons (Those were the hardest to find) I eventually found at Walmart ( Ugh.. i hate Walmart, but they had what I needed this time.) and a couple more pairs my mom picked up from a consignment shop.
DD is still fitting in her 4s, which were her first size/pair of shoes. But they just started getting snug. While I didn't like the price (I can't tell you the last time I spent $40+ on shoes for myself!), they held up extremely well for the last six months. We got a pair of koala kids soft soled shoes from TRU in a 5, and I just tried them on her again yesterday. Looks like we're ready to move up in size.
We signed up for Stride Rite to email and mail coupons and they have sent some good ones recently. 20% off total purchase and BOGO 50% off. I'm going to probably stock up on two good pairs from there when I get my next coupon.
For dress shoes, we're going cheap from Payless or somewhere like that. She'll probably only wear them twice, so I don't want to spend any more than $10 if possible.
DS2 is wearing DS1's old Stride Rite 5 1/2s.
He has a super wide foot all the way into the toe box.
DS1 gets the expensive shoes because they have to make it through at least DS2. It worked out well this way. I haven't bought a single pair of shoes for DS2.
StefandTodd:C is still in 5's, but I just started putting him in some 5.5's to see how he does in them (I don't know how I'm supposed to be able to tell he's grown out of a size?? Is that dumb??). Anyway, our hands down favorite shoes are the Pedipeds Grip n' Go's. I basically just go to Zappos and search for Pediped GNG and then pick the cheapest/sales/cute ones...order a bunch, try them on him at home and return what I don't want. So I have 5, 5.5, and 6 in his closet ready to go. I looooove these shoes though. Both my boys will wear them as long as I can buy them...and like J&K, I don't mind their expense b/c I love them so much and they will get worn by #2.
I felt the same way. DS actually had a meltdown one day while we were out and I had made him walk more than normal. I eventually realized his feet hurt - he managed to get his shoes and socks off in the car, which he never does. It was also getting harder to get his feet in the shoe.
They have a New Balance sizing mat at a store we went to the other day, and sure enough his foot was bigger than the size five footprint. I know brands are different, but I think it was good indication that I should try a bigger size.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! (And glad to know a few other LOs also have big feet!)

From the Muppetopolitan Opera House Pigoletto featuring Beverly Sills.
What's on your mind tonight?
Update: Double crap – I totally missed that Christy had featured this video Friday. I'm sorry.
how fast was that?
g'evening pups – how's everyone doing tonight? i had sunshine all afternoon but there is rain in the forecast. got into the 50's but it is down to 39.
thanks for opening the digg neuro
Would you rather be Miss Piggy or Beverly Sills?
Hi, Suz!
Missed the dive.
Bob in HI
miss piggy fer sure mary mc
It is not a trick question.
Me, too. I just love her pushiness, lack of boundaries, bosom, and voice.
still too cold to dive. i'm still in fleece
her faith and confidence in herself.
I always worry when I see someone wear a dress like Sills was wearing.
1. It's too long. What happens when the hem gets dirty. Toss it?
2. That off the shoulders business makes me think it might fall down.
Hey hi!
priceless Suz, now That's Entertainment.
We loved this show, the father related to the two geezers up in the boxes.
What were their names?
and what a wonderful way to introduce little kiddies to teh culture.
i always wanted to wear a lacy white summer dress but know that it is my fate to become an instantaneous dirt magnet the instant it goes on.
No, but I
did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night have been working out at the gym…
Being in the pajama brigade I wouldn't know about that kind of stuff.
The decision to ask G.M.'s chairman and chief executive, Rick
Wagoner, to resign caught Detroit and Washington by surprise,
and it underscored the Obama administration's determination
to take a hands-on role in the companies it is bailing out –
a level of government involvement in business not seen since
the Great Depression.
President Obama is scheduled to announce details of the auto
package at the White House on Monday, but two senior
officials, offering a preview on condition of anonymity, made
clear that some form of bankruptcy – a quick,
court-supervised restructuring, as they described it – could
still be an option for one or both companies.
i forget – they were my fav part of the opening – and they were my favs, besides piggy of course
mary, were you ever Miss Piggy for Halloween? I had a friend years ago who played her beautifully. Like you say, supreme confidence.
Not yet. Good idea though.
but the heads of the financial corporations are safe in their jobs (spitting)
'Evening from the Great Swamp, all-
a level of government involvement in business not seen since
the Great Depression.
As Rachel said, back when we were all communists…/s
Well, it's not like they make anything.
Or are taking hundreds of times the money on offer to Detroit.
I never understood how women wore such dresses for centuries!
Mind you, I love a pretty dress (tea length's my preference) but MERCY, I can't believe we had to wait 'till the 20th century to wear pants — and that was not without a battle royale.
Hey! Lsst cold front of the year went through today, about 55 right now. Rainy and windy earlier, but should be beautiful the rest of the week. How's the coast?
Gee, I missed when it was that the banksters were asked to
GET LOST resign
I know. Obama will have a presser tomorrow morning at 11:00 eastern in the FOYAY.
rained until around noon when the skies parted to a lovely blue with white puffy clouds. just before sunset, the clouds returned and the temps dropped quickly. rain in the forecast.
Yet another word I wish I had invented, much like "craptacular".
GOP-er History 101.
President Obama firing the head of GM is outrageous meddling in the affairs of business!
President Reagan firing air traffic controllers was the acme of good governence.
I read about Beverly Sills, talking about what she did before a performance. Did she have butterflies?
"Oh no. I eat some empanaditas, I'm fine." LOL
Okay, now you've got me remembering the time a friend and I called the kids together in the quad during lunch in high school. I just had moved to a HS that didn't allow girls to wear pants from on that did. We got everyone riled up, and the administration buckled before the day was over!
Good 'ol times!
may I reiterate what Suz said, "Spit!'
Yeah. That must have been done quietly. /s
jeez, we were close to tornadic here this afternoon.
better than snow so I shouldn't complain.
President Reagan firing air traffic controllers was the acme of good governence.
I was stationed at Keesler AFB, where the AF ATC school is, when that happened, and a friend of mine in ATC swore up and down that there were ATC students from Keesler landing planes at the Biloxi Airport.
What are empanaditas??
i remember the dress code wars – and finally being able to wear pants – but no jeans. took a year before the no jeans edit was lifted – since the boys had no such limitation.
You are a rabble rouser, LH
Shoot, I was not only a dirt magnet, but an attire discipline problem to boot. Punished at school (and then at home, natch) for drawing yellow crayon telephone poles on my blue dress…
Wanted to see if they'd come out green.
It's perfect, isn't it? Captures their essence.
i had been kicked outta my high school 2 weeks into my sophmore year and was sent to a different one on the other side of the school district. i learned quickly where the line was and tried not to cross it after that. of course, i did butt my head against it many a time…
Well, I mighta misspelled that.
That's a shame. Comprehending an abstraction, like mixing colors to make more colors, is a fairly remarkable insight…how old were you at the time, if I may ask?
Did they? That's important.
Little stuffed pastries.
Loo Hoo, they're like little turnovers.
Did they come out green?
(had to look up the spelling myself)
Oh how yummy sounding. Do you dip them in anything?
Yes. Thanks!
When the Chimpster was there, they pronounced it "foyeehaw!"
When the Chimpster was there
Has anyone else had a hard time getting the Bush-as-President frame of reference out of their minds?
hee hee
My age is showing( We got in trouble for wearing kilts and knee sox to high school one day.. First time the school had ever considered skirt length. But they were nice enough about it. Told us it was cute, but a no-go.
Kilts were probably top o the knee length..
Okay, pups, bedtime soon for me.
Thanks for another wonderful Sunday.
And if you missed it, my friend misswildthing had a great Oxdown diary today that I'd like you all to not miss.
Chilean authorities say they're investigating what caused the deaths of nearly 1500 penguins found in a southern bay.
They say the dead birds were found on Saturday at Caleta Queule, more than 2000km north of Antarctica.
g'nite teddy
Early grade school – prolly 1st or 2nd. Can't take credit – think we'd been covering it in an art lesson.
Nope. Much to my disappointment. Prolly should have used water colors..
BTW, Suzanne, loved the pics of the clammers at your place. Brought back memories of many happy hours clamming on the Sunshine Skyway mudflats when I was a kid.
thanks rond. stephanie and i are talking about getting those knee high boots, a walking stick, and maybe giving it a whirl ourselves. of course, gotta figure out what the rules are and, of course, how to do it (laughing).
i really like the idea of walking out, gathering dinner, fixing it and eating dinner courtesy of netarts bay.
nice diary
I used to go crabbing in Destin. We went there every year. There were only two places to stay. Silver Beach Motel and the Holiday Inn. Now it looks like Miami.
To do it right you need a ClamGun! Makes quick work of it.
With the gold colored huge safety pins holding the flap together? Me too!
jen used to have a friend in destin and went back there one summer to spend her vacation there and in orlando. she loved it there.
I know clamming in Fl frequently requires one to be in shallow water-and the ironclad rule is: don't pick your feet up. Shuffle along…if you step on a sting ray, he'll spike you through the calf, but if you slide up on him, he'll just wiggle away…
It feels really weird under your feet when they do that.
Sweet dreams, Teddy.
and a bucket. yeah, gotta get all the equipment and then get the nerve up to walk out on the slippery squishy mud.
It was a wonderful place. The sand is as white as salt. Helps the burn.
What a shame! Stresses of climate change?
was just watching PBS's Nature on the rugged little birdies this week.
Not a lifestyle I'd choose but I guess they know no other.
stingrays! yip – glad the water is too cold for stingrays. hmmm, i guess i'm gonna have to find out what the hazards are when slurping in the mud.
Yeah, and they're currently making my little neck of the woods look like Orlando. I swear, I'm going to wind up in a little bungalow out in the middle of the Everglades yet…or maybe on a mountainside, down the road from Dr. Dick.
what a way to quash creativity, and at such a young age. bummer, Sunny.
One day a big fat hurricane is going to blow all those high rises right over. Or undermine them.
she's a sandy beach kinda gal and is adjusting to life in the rainy pacific northwest. she loved her time in hawaii, cancun, and destin.
Loo Hoo, I haven't had any in 20 years, I really don't remember. Don't they look good though?
g'nite nahant – thanks for the link
Fading fast.
Goodnight,all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.
Me, too. Goodnight everyone.
I'm konking too. Thanks, Suz, for the Miss Piggy reminder.
g'nite loohoo – you are most welcome. we gotta all remember our inner piggy :)
You know, you owe Christy a drink.
i do?
oh double crap – chs featured this video friday in her muppet blogging. oh i'm so sorry – i'll update the post with my mea culpa.
Wow, Suzanne! Get calm. Is this anything more than funny?
Don't make me feel like I ruined yer night.
i just updated this post with my apology. thanks for letting me know mac
Is there someone going to run you in for doublemuppeting ?
it was bound to happen sooner or later – just can't believe i did a repeat of a muppet (laughing)
laughiing – i wonder what the bail is for that?
Normally there would be a penalty.
However, since Lurk is also responsible for catching it, and did not, it's catch and release Sunday.
*making mental note*
no more muppett videos for late late nite
As long as you don't wake up saying that too often, what the hell.
Catch you and Lurk again. G'night.
g'nite mac and thanks for letting me know (seriously, thank you)
Hey Suzanne, get yer clam shovel ready!
You are in the Gooyduck zone!
No kidding, when I was a kid, folks used to have giant shells in their front yard, big enough to hide yer cat, and yer dog in, inside these things!
Drat, I wandered off… clam digging and destin, two of my favorite subjects.
Not often we talk east coast here.
nite pups
Attaturk is upstairs!
Chuckle Hut
wandered off without seeing your farewell. sorry I missed you and hope you had a good one.

Nude and Blush Wedding Dresses – New Neutrals in the Spring 2015 Bridal Collection from Watters
May 1, 2014 | christine
Blush and nude are everywhere in today's bridal scene. Quickly becoming the new go-to neutral color palette, these shades are much softer than a traditional white or ivory while still evoking that bridal feel. Blush wedding dresses have been on the scene for several seasons, but we are seeing more and more shades of nude layered with white and ivory lace. The result: ultra sexy and totally chic. The new designs from Watters really celebrate these two trends beautifully.
Wedding Dresses with Sleeves – New Necklines from the Spring 2015 Bridal Collection by Jenny Packham
April 30, 2014 | christine
Nearly every gown in the Spring 2015 Bridal Collection covers the shoulders with sleeves or straps - a refreshing change from the sweetheart gowns we've seen for years on end. Definitely a favorite of the season!

December 18, 2014
OTTAWA (AP) -- Canada's prime minister has asked that Parliament be suspended until next month in an effort to delay a vote that could bring down his new government.
A senior official in the office of Stephen Harper said the prime minister made the request, but did not say if the governor general had agreed to it. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because Harper has yet to talk publicly.
Harper's move is unprecedented, and comes less than two months after he won re-election.
The opposition accuses Harper of not having a solid plan to help the economy.
If the governor general turns down the request, Harper would have two choices: step down or face a no-confidence vote he is sure to lose on Monday.

I got this bag in red and it's a beautiful, red, rich leather that's well constructed with great organization and pockets. I know in the spec's that they said it would weigh 4 pounds but I didn't realize how heavy that would feel---I don't even carry a laptop in it, just use as a professional bag to carry wallet, works keys, work id, some toilletries/meds, reading for the subway and sometimes my lunch if it's not too bulky. The bag is very well made and will definately last and even look good as the bag goes through wear and tear...so I would still recommend this but caution people who want a light bag not to get this.
I am still looking for the right briefcase/messenger bag etc. I would like it to hold my work laptop, but I am finding that I have to get a much bulkier/bigger bag than I want to lug around on a daily basis. I have found it difficult to shop for such an accessory on line. I think this has to be something you touch and check out the pockets, and bells & whistles of the item.
I loved this laptop tote when I first received it and thought the quality to be excellent. Many pockets, and a removable tote sleeve also with many pockets. I had to return it,however, as the handles do not retract, and makes getting into the bag extremely bothersome. Also, it is a big bag, so decided on something slightly smaller.
This is a beautiful leather bag, the color is stunning. However, it is a very heavy bag. This plus the weight of a light laptop weighs in at about 8lbs. However, I love it enough that I will give it a few more tries before deciding if I should give up and go for a bag that weighs a bit less. It does have an abundance of pockets and storage. If it was a bit lighter it would be a perfect bag.
Got soooo many compliments on it. I was going on a business trip and needed a bag for my computer and other times while staying stylish :) my 15" computer did not fit in the pouch however there are other compartments in the bag that I was able to still safely store my computer. I absolutely love the bag. It's perfect for a laptop, chargers, phone, business cards, etc. highly recommended.
The leather is excellent quality, but the case itself is a little stiff. Still, it is very beautiful. Bought as a gift but will return as it is not for the younger generation. It has a wider bottom with the metal stud/feet on it for protection. This is not a soft-sider type of bag, but still lovely. Just for the more mature professional. The only reason for 4 stars is that it is to be returned because will not work as gift for young grad.
The case is well crafted, very attractive, and holds what the description says it will hold. With the smaller zip section in front, there is no need to carry a purse - a great benefit when traveling by air. The red is a deep, rich red that, while colorful, is very professional.
This bag is beautiful - sturdy construction and rich burgundy color. I should have paid closer attention to what other reviewers said about its weight. Even empty, it felt heavier than my current leather bag with laptop and notebook inside. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone planning on using it daily for a commute on public transit or travel for that reason, but if you don't need to be lugging it on your shoulder everywhere, it is a lovely professional bag!

The New Oclaro Tunable 100G DWDM CFP Transceiver Delivers A 2.5X Improvement In Spectral Efficiency
SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR), a tier-one provider and innovator of optical communications and laser solutions, today announced a new cost-efficient tunable DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) pluggable transceiver module that utilizes 4x28G wavelengths to deliver a 2.5 times improvement in spectral efficiency over competing 10G solutions. Spectral efficiency, which refers to the amount of optical spectrum required to transmit at a given data rate, has become increasingly important in metro, point-to-point and data center applications where high-capacity network links are needed for reaches up to 600 kilometers. The new Oclaro tunable CFP transceiver, which is being unveiled at next week's OFC/NFOEC show in the Oclaro booth #1957 & 2058, not only provides the performance boost customers need in spectral efficiency, but also meets the low cost and power consumption requirements of these applications.
The new Oclaro transceiver is based on a direct-detection ODB (Optical Duobinary) modulation format which complements Oclaro's line of 100G coherent transponder solutions. Direct detection, which utilizes standard low cost components, delivers significant reductions in cost and power consumption and is ideally suited to address the needs of the growing 100G metro and long-haul markets. With solutions for both formats, Oclaro is well positioned in the exploding 100G DWDM market which analyst firm Ovum expects will grow beyond $1 billion for the line side alone by 2014.
"By delivering an expansive line of 100G solutions for the core optical network, Oclaro is able to meet the evolving needs of our customers when it comes to cost, performance, spectral efficiency, and power consumption," said Jim Haynes, President and General Manager of the Oclaro Photonic Components Business Unit. "Many of our customers are managing legacy networks alongside new 100G systems, and they can rely on Oclaro to help them continually maintain a competitive lead in the market with a broad set of products across multiple modulation schemes."
About the New DWDM TransceiverThe new module is the industry's first tunable 100G DWDM CFP transceiver, and represents an alternative to coherent 168-pin MSA transponders to address less demanding shorter reach applications in a more cost-efficient manner. The new transceiver is available as a grid-tunable solution and as a fully-tunable solution for maximum flexibility. Oclaro is also planning to offer MLSE (maximum likelihood sequence estimation) on the receiver as a configuration option to enhance the performance of the module by extending CD tolerance and widening the input range of the receiver. The new transceiver incorporates key technologies from Oclaro's established product lines such as the ILMZ (Integrated Laser Mach Zehnder) used in the T-XFP products.
