drop waist shirt dress
by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

Aden and Anais swaddles are super great! Every new mom should have them.
I actually used my bumbo when i first came home to sit on way more then I used it to nurse, so I agree this is 30.00 you can save unless you need to sit on it and you might
Ten things I have found to be necessary.
1. Tons of onesies or jumpers (Poopie diapers will spoil a cute outfit on a regular so inexpensive onesies are a must).
2. First Aid Kit for baby (Nail clippers, electric thermometer, aspirator, etc).
3. Lansinoh Nipple Protectant - for breastfeeding, I even use it prior to delivery to prep my nipples.
4, A belly wrap to help support abdomen when breastfeeding and assist shrinking of the uterus.
5. Baby Oil. cotton cap and a fine tooth comb, to help remove cradle cap from babies scalp
6. A good supportive nursing bra.
7. A bottle warmer.
8. Baby wipe warmer
9. Boppy Pillow
10. A good support system!!!!!!!!! - (My husband was great but I also had friends stop by to help cook, clean and keep me sane...lol)
A few other tips that I have are:
1. If you are going to bottle feed purchase a few single bottles instaed of buying the bottle sets, babies are really picky about what bottles they are comfortable with, so its best to get a feel for that before you invest in a particular brand.
2. The same goes for formula, if you decide to accomodate formula with breast milk or choose to do all formula feedings, have a few samples on hand to see which one your little one adapts to.
3. The items I refused to but were binkies (Pacifiers), powders, lotions. Wait to see how your babies skin is in its natural stat before applying products that may in fact irritate the skin. After you see a need then you can address it the way you see fit.
Hope this helps.

Agencies working to form disaster team
Community representatives met last month to establish a volunteer shelter team that will be able to respond quickly in case of a disaster. Training will take place Feb. 28 at the Army National Guard Readiness Center in EverGreene Industrial Park. Attending the initial meeting were, from left, Barb Wise, executive director of Greene County United Way; Mark Carlson, American Red Cross volunteer; Mary Bokat, Community Action Southwest; and Gene Komondor , planning and preparedness specialist with the American Red Cross, Western PA Region.
WAYNESBURG – Greene County United Way and the American Red Cross are working together to form a Red Cross Community Evacuation Center Team – a concept intended to provide quick response efforts during times of disaster.
Barb Wise, executive director of the United Way, is seeking individuals to attend a volunteer shelter team training from noon to 6 p.m. Feb. 28. at the Pennsylvania Army National Guard Readiness Center at 500 EverGreene Drive in Waynesburg.
A Greene County shelter team, which includes representatives from the American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, Community Action Southwest, Cornerstone Care, County of Greene, Greene County United Way, Salvation Army, Southwest Regional Medical Center, Waynesburg Borough and Waynesburg University, held a preliminary meeting last month to take the first step to initiate a shelter training and put in place an evacuation process.
Going forward, these Red Cross-trained volunteers will serve as an efficient, fast-responding team that will open and operate shelters within the community during times of disaster. The team will play a vital role in Red Cross shelter operations in Greene County, serving their neighbors in times of need.
"Involving local citizens in disaster response efforts creates a self-sufficient community," said Victor Roosen, emergency services director for the local American Red Cross. "The ability to have residents within a community trained to set up a Red Cross shelter in the event of an emergency helps with overall response time, which is vital to help those in need."
Area residents are encouraged and invited to join in this training and should contact Wise at the United Way office at 724-852-1009 to sign up. For more information on Red Cross Community Evacuation Center Teams, call 888-217-9199.

Summary: Paul Baumer enlisted with his classmates in the German army of World War I. Youthful, enthusiastic, they become soldiers. But despite what they have learned, they break into pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. And as horrible war plods on year after year, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principles of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against each other--if only he can come out of the war alive. ...show more ...show less

By Kevin Kovac (World of Outlaws Late Model Series P.R. Director)(Attica, OH) Josh Richards turned a corner in his career when he won last year's World of Outlaws Late Model Series event at Attica Raceway Park.Fourteen months later, the 21-year-old sensation from Shinnston, W.Va., will return to the one-third-mile oval on Friday night (July 24) with his racing fortunes flying even higher.With the WoO LMS headed to Attica on Friday for a 50-lap, $10,000-to-win A-Main that is scheduled as the second stop of the four-race Ohio Speedweek, Richards sits atop the tour's points standings and 2009 win list. He's flashing true championship form – the elusive combination of speed and smarts he showed he was capable of when he captured last year's inaugural series event at the high-banked track in the center of the Buckeye State.Richards drew raves for his '08 performance at Attica. Racing at a bullring he had never before seen, the 2005 WoO LMS Rookie of the Year demonstrated a veteran's poise as he patiently chased fellow Outlaw Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., until finally pulling off a high-side move to assume command with six laps remaining.It was a hallmark night for Richards. Yes, he had won seven WoO LMS A-Mains before reaching Victory Lane at Attica, but his eighth career triumph was just different. Something seemed to click in the youngster's head that evening. He didn't force the issue, didn't wear out his tires, didn't get over-anxious. He just calmly waited for his inevitable opportunity to pass Frank, who had gone too soft with his tire choice, and seized it.
"My car felt really good the whole race," Richards said after his win on May 16, 2008. "I knew (Frank) couldn't pull away, so I thought if I just maintained, there would be a chance that I could get by him. "He looked a little too tight to run the top, and my car was just balanced well. I don't know if he was fading just a little to where he had to search (for a line), but when he moved down (on lap 44) I snuck around the outside of him and got the lead."

Pure Hockey Says: The Gladiator sock is the first full-length customizable and cut-resistent hockey sock on the market. We`ve found this full-coverage sock (ankle to thigh) to be comfortable and breathable and Fulton`s claim for the sock being cut-resistent appears to be pretty true, though we don`t recommend you brandishing an axe or a butcher knife or something just to prove them wrong, ok? Good. Now that that`s out of the way, the Gladiator sock should help you a bit against skate-blade cuts in hockey - and that`s always a good thing.

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.
Satrosphere's Summer of Space includes science on the spot live science demonstrations, "We are Aliens" the 360° planetarium show, awesome Astronaut Training Workshops and Magic Planet story time for the little scientists. There is also a really exciting addition arriving mid-July: Lunar Rock!

The survey also included questions on stalking, sexual harassment, and the role played by new technologies in women's experiences of abuse. In addition, it asked about their experiences of violence in childhood. Based on the detailed findings, FRA suggests courses of action in different areas that are touched by violence against women and go beyond the narrow confines of criminal law, ranging from employment and health to the medium of new technologies.
Violence against women survey
Violence against Women: Survey methodology Q and A
This is a brief overview of how the FRA survey on violence against women was carried out. Detailed information can be found in the Technical Report.
1. Who were the survey respondents?
Over 42,000 women aged 18-74 years old were interviewed across the EU. This corresponds to 1,500 women per country (except Luxembourg with 900 respondents).
The lower age limit was 18 years due to the sensitive nature of the survey and the limitations in some Member States on interviewing women under 18 without parental approval.
A breakdown including socio-demographic characteristics is annexed in the main results report.
2. Why, when and how was the survey carried out?
The survey responds to a request for data on violence against women from the European Parliament, which was reiterated by the Council of the EU in its Conclusions on the Eradication of Violence against Women in the EU.
FRA designed the survey with input from academic experts and civil society representatives working on violence against women. A consortium – under contract to FRA following an open call for tender – extensively tested the survey in 2011, and carried out the fieldwork from March to September 2012. The consortium included Ipsos MORI, the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, affiliated with the United Nations and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute. Ipsos MORI identified organisations in each EU Member State to manage the interviews locally.
Together with FRA, the consortium designed an interviewer training programme and trained the national trainers in February 2012. The national trainers trained selected female interviewers in each country. FRA and the contractors participated in some training sessions to monitor the training content.
The questionnaire was translated into local languages, which were used to interview respondents. Ipsos MORI compiled the data into a single data set for the initial EU-level comparative analysis. FRA carried out the final analysis.
3. How were respondents selected?
In each Member State the survey is based on a nationally representative sample of women. In countries where population registers could be used for sampling, a sample of individuals was drawn from the registers, and the interviewers could contact the selected women directly. In countries where such information was not available, researchers first drew a sample of households, and interviewers selected the respondent from eligible women in the household. People who were randomly selected for interviewing could not propose someone else to interview instead.
4. How was the privacy, anonymity and confidentiality of respondents assured?
The survey was carried out by professional interviewers, trained to ensure confidentiality. The survey data set does not contain any personal information which would enable respondents to be identified. Care was taken during the data analysis so that nobody can be recognised from the results.
5. How long was each interview?
The length of interviews with each respondent depended a lot on their experiences. For women who had experienced many incidents of violence the interview took longer than the planned 50 minutes. For someone who had not experienced any form of violence it was shorter.
6. Which topics were covered by the questionnaire?
The standardised survey used across all Member States included questions about physical, sexual and psychological violence, childhood victimisation, sexual harassment and stalking (including new media such as the internet). Women were asked to provide information about their own experiences of violence, how often this has taken place, and the consequences this has had on their lives. The survey also collected information about reporting and non-reporting to the police, and about women's use of other services that can assist victims.
7. Does the survey ask who commits the abuse?
The survey asked respondents about their experiences of violence by intimate partners – people with whom women are or have been married to, living together as a couple or in a relationship. It also asked about experiences from other people, such as strangers, acquaintances, colleagues or other people at work, or family members (other than the partner).
8. How did the survey measure physical/sexual/psychological violence?
Respondents were asked questions about specific violent acts which the respondent may have experienced – such as being kicked, slapped, hit, etc. Earlier research has shown that in this way respondents are more likely to remember and identify incidents of violence. The questions on experiences of violence did not use terms such as 'rape' or 'abuse' which respondents might understand in different ways.
9. How did the survey measure sexual harassment?
Respondents were asked whether they have experienced specific incidents, which they considered unwanted and offensive. This included being told sexually suggestive comments or jokes, unwelcome touching or kissing, or receiving sexually explicit emails or text messages.
10. How did the survey measure stalking?
Respondents were presented with a list of incidents, and asked whether the same person was responsible for these incidents. Among other things, the incidents included examples of repeatedly receiving offensive material (e.g. by mail or through the internet), threatening or silent phone calls, or cases where the respondent was repeatedly followed or where her property was tampered with.
11. How representative are the results?
The respondents were selected based on random sampling. The results are representative of the experiences and opinions of 18-74-year-old women living in the EU.
12. Could the results be influenced by outside factors?
Only one woman per household was selected. Interviewers did not disclose the topic of the survey to other members of the household. The interviews were carried out in a place where only the respondent and the interviewer were present and they could not be disturbed.
Participation was voluntary. The interview could be interrupted or rescheduled to ensure that the interview was carried out in private. The respondent could say at any point whether she was comfortable to continue or not.
Respondents could also mention any experiences which they did not want to disclose in the interview in a self-completion questionnaire. The survey used only female interviewers.
13. How did you ensure the results are comparable?
To ensure comparability, FRA carried out a pilot study in 2010-2011 in six Member States – Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland and Spain. The pilot was based on a draft questionnaire. A combination of methods was used to explore differences in how respondents in different countries may understand items in the survey. The results fed the further development of the questionnaire before it was finalised and translated for use in all Member States.
Differences between countries and within countries in rates of violence against women are also reported in other surveys e.g. the WHO's study on women's health and domestic violence, and the US national intimate partner violence and sexual violence survey.
Media memo - Violence against Women: An EU-wide survey
1. Why was the Violence against Women survey carried out?
Despite the significant impact of violence against women, policy makers and practitioners in many EU Member States are still struggling with a lack of data that obscures the scale and nature of the problem. As most women do not report acts of violence against them, policy and practical responses to address violence against women are not always informed by comprehensive evidence.
There have been repeated calls over recent years from different quarters for comprehensive data on violence against women, including by a number of presidencies of the Council of the EU, monitoring bodies such as the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the Council of Europe.
FRA's EU-wide survey responds to a request for data on violence against women from the European Parliament, which was reiterated by the Council of the EU in its Conclusions on the Eradication of Violence against Women in the European Union.
2. How was the survey conducted?
The FRA survey on violence against women, which is based on face-to-face interviews with 42,000 women, presents the most comprehensive survey worldwide on women's experiences of violence.
- Women aged 18-74 who live in the EU and speak at least one of the official languages of their country of residence were interviewed for the survey. The interviews were conducted face-to-face by female interviewers in interviewees' homes using standardised survey questions across all Member States, and took place between March and September 2012.
- All respondents were selected randomly and the survey results are representative both at EU and national level.
3. How does the FRA survey differ from other surveys on violence against women?
Before the FRA survey on violence against women, there was no comparable data available on the issue at EU level. Since the mid-1990s, surveys which address violence against women have been carried out in many European countries, but the results of these surveys are not comparable. For example:
- The focus of the surveys has varied from domestic violence to intimate partner violence to violence against women more broadly, and even terms such as domestic violence have been defined in different ways in different countries.
- Sampling and interviewing methods have differed (e.g. telephone interviews vs. face-to-face interviews vs. self-completion questionnaires)
- Surveys have been carried out at different points in time, making it difficult to assess whether there are real differences between countries or whether they are due to developments over time.
- The questions asked differ from survey to survey, making it difficult to compare their findings directly.
4. What questions did the survey ask?
The survey asked women about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including domestic violence, since the age of 15 and over the 12 months preceding the interview. Questions were also asked about incidents of stalking, sexual harassment, and the role played by new technologies in women's experiences of abuse. In addition, the survey asked about respondents' experiences of violence in childhood.
5. What is the prevalence of physical and sexual violence against women?
- 33% of women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence since the age of 15, while 5% has been raped since the age of 15.
- Out of all women who have a (current or previous) partner, 22% have experienced physical and/or sexual partner violence by a partner since the age of 15.
- 20% have experienced physical violence by someone other than their partner since the age of 15.
- Just 33% of victims of partner violence and 26% of victims of non-partner violence either contacted the police or some other organisation (such as victim support) following the most serious incident of violence.
6. What are the consequences of physical and sexual violence?
- The survey shows that emotional and psychological consequences of physical and sexual violence can be long-lasting and deep-seated.
- 21% of victims of sexual violence suffered from panic attacks after the event.
- 35% became depressed as a result of sexual violence.
- 43% had difficulty in subsequent relationships as a result.
7. How big a problem is stalking?
- 18% of women in the EU-28 have experienced stalking since the age of 15.
- 5% of women have experienced stalking in the 12 months prior to the interview. This would correspond to 9 million women in the EU-28 experiencing stalking within a period of 12 months.
- Out of all women victims of stalking, one in five (21%) had experienced stalking that had lasted over two years.
- 23% of victims of stalking indicated in the survey that they had to change their email address or phone number in response to the most serious case of stalking.
8. How many women have suffered sexual harassment?
- 55% of women have experienced sexual harassment in some form, such as unwelcome touching, hugging or kissing since the age of 15.
- 32% of all victims of sexual harassment said the perpetrator was a boss, colleague or customer.
- 75% of women in qualified professions or top management jobs have experienced sexual harassment in their lifetime.
9. How many women have suffered cyber harassment?
- 11% have experienced inappropriate advances on social websites or have been subjected to sexually explicit emails or SMS messages.
- 20% of young women (18-29) have experienced cyber harassment.
10. What are women's experiences of violence in childhood?
- 12% of women indicated that they had experienced some form of sexual abuse or incident by an adult before the age of 15, which would correspond to 21 million women in the European Union.
- 97% of women who had experienced sexual violence in childhood said the perpetrator was male.
11. Do women report incidents of violence or harassment?
- 67% did not report the most serious incident of violence by a partner to the police or any other organisation.
- 74% of victims of stalking indicated that the most serious case never came to the attention of police.
12. How can differences between country findings be explained?
Women's perception of whether violence against women is common in their country is closely connected to their personal experiences of domestic or non-partner violence, their awareness of other women who are victims of violence, and their awareness of campaigns addressing violence against women. The interplay between these factors needs to be taken into account when interpreting data and in developing policies to raise awareness of violence against women in different settings.
Variations between countries in the prevalence of violence reported in the FRA survey need to be looked at in relation to a number of factors. It should also be noted that a 10-country survey by the World Health Organisation also found large differences between rates of domestic violence against women in different countries. FRA puts forward five possible explanations for observed differences between countries in prevalence rates for violence against women, which require further exploration:
1) The extent to which it is culturally acceptable to talk to other people about experiences of violence against women, including to survey interviewers.
2) Higher levels of gender equality could lead to higher levels of disclosure about violence against women, as incidents of violence against women are more likely to be openly addressed and challenged in societies with greater equality.
3) Women's exposure to risk factors for violence can be examined at the Member State level with respect to factors that might increase exposure to violence, such as patterns in employment (working outside the home) as well as socialisation and lifestyle patterns (going out or dating).
4) Differences between countries in overall levels of violent crime, which need to be examined alongside findings on violence against women. For example, a greater degree of urbanisation in a country is generally related to higher crime rates.
5) As there is evidence, including in FRA's survey, of a relationship between perpetrators' drinking habits and women's experiences of domestic violence, different drinking patterns in Member States may help to explain certain aspects of violence against women.
13. Are the results from FRA's survey in line with findings from other survey research on violence against women?
The FRA survey results are broadly in line with results from national surveys on violence against women. For example, a survey of 10,000 women in Germany found that 37 % of all women interviewees have experienced at least one form of physical attack or threat of violence by a partner or a non-partner since the age of 16. In England and Wales, a survey of 5,991 women showed that 18 % of women had experienced some form of stalking since the age of 16, while the FRA survey found that 19 % of women in the United Kingdom have been victims of stalking since the age of 15.
14. What can be done to improve the situation?
- Women are abused at work, at home, in public and online. And as most respondents think that violence against women is common in their country, EU and national bodies need to review measures to tackle all forms of violence against women, no matter where it takes place. Ratification and aligning national laws with the Istanbul Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, as well as ensuring the full implementation of the EU Victims' Directive, will be important steps forward in this regard.
- Police, healthcare professionals, employers and specialist victim support service providers should be trained, properly resourced and given the necessary powers to reach out to victims to ensure all forms of violence against women (and girls) in varied settings are recognised, recorded and acted on.
- Women's (and men's) knowledge about violence against women needs to be enhanced through awareness raising that draws on detailed data to ensure that messages target the right audience. This can help improve reporting of violence to the authorities and victim support services.
- National stalking laws should comprehensively serve the needs of victims.
- Internet and social media platforms should proactively assist victims of cyber-stalking/ harassment to report abuse, and be encouraged to limit unwanted behaviour.
- Member States should learn from promising practices already adopted in other countries that effectively address and combat violence against women.
15. How will the FRA follow up on the results of the survey?
FRA will promote the use of the survey results for policy change. This will be achieved together with other institutions such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, and the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE). FRA will also work in close cooperation with the Member States and civil society organisations.

John Axford: Filmmaker
milwaukee brewers February 27th, 2012
Fans of John Axford may know that he is quite the film buff. On twitter this weekend he had a lot to say about the Oscars and correctly picked 11 out of 13 winners. He majored in film in college at Notre Dame and even shot his own 16MM film with some friends while they were there. His love affair with film doesn't stop there either. In an interview with Adam McCalvy, John said that he has "lots of stories" in his head and foresees himself taking a shot at film in the future.
What you may not know is that John Axford has already started preparing for his post-baseball career in Hollywood. In fact, we have recently acquired a few pages from John Axford's spec script that he has been working on during the offseason. I can't 100% confirm it's validity, but it was sent to me by someone who identified themselves to me as "one of johns bros from notre dam bro" so I think it's pretty legit.

Custom Cigar Box Guitar to be auctioned at 2014 Riverfront Blues Festival Again
You have a chance to 'win' a cigar box guitar made by acclaimed blues guitarist JP Soars during the 2014 Riverfront Blues Festival. The guitar will be auctioned during the blues festival with proceeds going to the Riverfront Blues Society. This handcrafted electric guitar features a cigar box body, two strings, and a pickup, so you can play it through your guitar amplifier. Soars features the cigar box guitar in his live performances, often played using a slide. This is a great opportunity to support the blues festival and win an instrument made by one of the leading guitarists in contemporary blues music.
Cigar box guitars date back to the Civil War era and have a long history in American music. These unique instruments became increasingly popular in the early blues era, especially during the Great Depression. Many prominent bluesmen started on these homemade guitars, including Lightning Hopkins. More recently, cigar box guitars have gained popularity as part of the "do it yourself" movement in roots music. Led by contemporary artists and instrument makers such as John Lowe and JP Soars, cigar box guitars are used by a wide range of rock and blues musicians including Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Paul McCartney, the North Mississippi All-Stars, and any many more.
Riverfront Bluesfest Named Top 100 Event in North America by American Bus Association Fort Smith's Riverfront Blues Festival was named one of the Top 100 Events in North America by the American Bus Association this week. Each year the ABA compiles a list of the most appealing events across the continent for tour operators who are planning which trips to offer in the coming year.

She's been feeling her way in the fashion business since 2009, but Katie Holmes admits the retail world still has the power to surprise her.
"When you go in and you show your clothing, you think that they're going to buy the whole collection," she said with a hearty laugh during an exclusive interview with WWD on Tuesday, minutes after inking a deal with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. "And when they don't, you're like, 'What do you mean? It all goes together. So what do we do with this?' So that was new, but I think that's kind of a life thing — 'What, you don't want all of me?'"
Holmes, along with business partner Jeanne Yang, will stage Holmes & Yang's first New York Fashion Week presentation on Wednesday. Clad in a long-sleeve cream silk blouse from her fall line, the actress sipped coffee with soy milk as she answered questions ranging from the origins of her ready-to-wear label to the scope of her new beauty deal.
The 33-year-old Holmes will appear as the first celebrity face for the 21-year-old Bobbi Brown brand. According to executives, she also will act as the brand's muse and a full-blown collaborator. Her face will appear in a new ad campaign, due to break next spring, as well as on-counter visuals at point of sale. In fall 2013, her name will appear on a capsule collection of color cosmetics. While Holmes, Brown and executives from the Estée Lauder Cos. Inc., which owns the brand, declined comment on details of Holmes' contract with the brand, industry sources estimated the actress is being paid between $2 million and $3 million over the course of a multiyear deal.
While personable, Holmes adeptly sidestepped questions that veered too far into the personal realm — as with the topic of where her six-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise, will start school this fall (reportedly Academy of the Sacred Heart). All Holmes would say was, "They'll find out in due time."
Despite the press' frenzied efforts to ferret out the smallest of details regarding her past few months (ignited by her high-profile divorce from Tom Cruise), she doesn't trash the Fourth Estate: "I have a lot of feelings about the press," she said with a smile. "There are a lot of people with much bigger problems and who are less fortunate. I try to keep it all in perspective."
But she grows animated when speaking about her Holmes & Yang collection, which launched at Maxfield's and is carried by such retailers as Barneys New York and Dallas boutique Forty Five Ten. She and Yang chose this season to stage their first formal New York Fashion Week presentation "because the brand is growing and expanding, and so we thought we would have something a little more substantial."
They're hoping the week will help expand the brand's reach at retail, said Holmes.
A presentation rather than a full-blown show felt right, said Holmes. "We've been very gradual from the beginning, and part of that has been because we've wanted to take the time to get to know the business, get to know the right stores — and, most importantly, to get to know the customer and what she needs. In terms of the presentation versus the show, we felt a presentation was more appropriate for the clothes we sell. It's a little more our speed in the way we wanted to go about it, and more of a transition for us from meeting privately with buyers in a hotel room to going right to a big show."
Holmes describes the Holmes & Yang aesthetic as "very simple, with very classic lines. We use a lot of silks and leathers and suedes. This year, we're excited because we've incorporated a lot of new trims. It's basically pieces that have evolved from basics, but not too far. They're just nice, well-made luxury items that highlight the woman wearing them." Price points start from about $700 and range to $3,000, she said. "We have a lot of casual, and gowns, some unique jackets." Details include shirts lined in silk — "the silky part of the shirt is on your body all day," she said.
Yang worked as Holmes' stylist for five years before the two founded their brand. "She has incredible taste, and I look to her for a lot of guidance," Holmes said of Yang. "I'll have an idea, and I'll say, 'Jeanne, is this good or is it not?' And she gives her opinion, and she's very generous. She comes from one way of looking at things, I come from another, and we always meet in the middle and are very appreciative of the other person. We've never, in all this time, gotten into a fight over a look. It's usually like, 'Oh, really? Yeah, that's perfect! I'm so glad you thought of that.' It sounds like, 'Yeah, right,' but it's true. Even when I'm leaving the house, I'm like, 'Jeanne, is it good?'
"When Jeanne and I decided to do this — we're both mothers; our daughters are very good friends — and I said, 'Jeanne, this has to be something that we enjoy, because we want to do it with our girls here.' We started off because we wanted to have shirts that were well-made and went with everything. I just want something I can wear all the time and nobody's going to say, 'Oh, I saw that yesterday.' We try to make beautiful things, and we're not so trend-driven. We try to do a touch of rock 'n' roll with our stuff, but keep it very classic."
While they've dabbled in children's wear and have a deal with Valextra for handbags, Holmes noted that she and Yang, for the moment, are focusing chiefly on their ready-to-wear offering. Of children's wear, she noted: "It's a lot of work for a price point that really doesn't make sense for that age. Obviously, they can't wear them very long."

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by state-run Iranian radio on 24 September
President Ahmadinezhad in an interview with the managers and editorial
staff of Associated Press reiterated: The American government should
accept that the Iranian nation has achieved progress without its will
and domination and so long as it does not accept this fact, it is faced
with problems and contradictory behaviour.
Mr Ahmadinezhad said if a change really takes place in the American
government's policies, the Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes it and we
are interested for these changes to take place. Regarding the three
American citizens, who illegally passed the Iranian boarders, the
president said: As a humanitarian gesture, which was of course
one-sided, Iran released these individuals but has not seen any
reciprocal move so far.
In response to a question about his prediction about the upcoming US
presidential elections, Ahmadinezhad said: The American people should
decide, and Mr Obama does not need to give concession to the Zionists in
order to gain votes and launch military attacks.
In response to a question regarding the 9/11 incident, Ahmadinezhad
reiterated that in this incident, 3,000 American people were killed and
several people in our region were accused of supporting terrorism. This
incident resulted in military attack on two countries in the Middle East
as a result of which over one million people were killed and millions
made homeless. Considering the vast impact of this incident, is there a
problem in setting up a fact-finding committee to study the various
aspects of this incident and to identify and punish the elements behind
In response to a question by of the members of the editorial staff of
Associated Press regarding the Middle East region, Mr Ahmadinezhad said:
The Islamic Republic of Iran considers freedom, justice and freedom of
choice the right of all nations and supports any move which helps these
rights to be gained.
The result of all the opinion polls in the regional countries shows that
they are suffering from West's humiliating behaviour towards them and
the existence of dictators in the region who are being supported by the
West. Therefore; they protest against them at any opportunity they find
with their popular uprisings.

Why We Don't Write: Seth McClung
Baseball February 3rd, 2010
A lot of people ask me why we don't update the site as regularly as we used to. Sometimes there will be a post for every day of the week and other times a whole week will go by with nothing. Are we tired of doing the site? Are you too busy? Are we lazy? The truth is that we (why do I always do that? Everyone knows it's only me, but I still call it we all the time. Stupid deadspin.), I don't like to write stuff unless *I* think that it's good. Unless I was the reader and I would enjoy reading it. Sometimes this means that we go a week or more without anything and sometimes that last thing that went up wasn't that good. It's just the way it is. Luckily, I have the luxury to do that because I own my own site and I do this mainly as a hobby. Other people are not so lucky and have to post, whether they feel inclined or not. Luckily for them, they can just post the news and don't really need to be "creative" in their writing. We don't do the news, therefore we can get away with posting sporadically. That's a good rule, I think. People who do the news, should do the news and do it often. People who do the more creative stuff, should do creative stuff and take their time. The problem becomes when the news people try to do the creative stuff because most of the time it doesn't turn out well. Like David Caruso trying to act in movies or Corey Hart trying to pull out.
Take for instance this "poem" by KLSnow of Brew Crew Ball. Now, I like KL Snow. I'm his friend on facebook (not that I've ever commented on anything he posts (I don't really know and/or care about macaroni and cheese recipes or his wiener dog, but that's nothing personal against him. Just the way it is.) and since our inception he has given us a lot of link love (almost 9500 to date), but that poem is bad. Really bad. An EPIC FAIL as the kids would say. Let's read it again, FJM style: Read the rest of this entry »

Washington County reassessment begins
Field data collectors Laurie Rux and Kevin Humiston go over paperwork before starting to collect data on their first houses for the Washington County reassessment project Thursday. Tyler Technologies started on Moffat Avenue and Lockhart Street in Washington, measuring and gathering information at properties for the initial step of reassessment.

Thursday afternoon was, as former chief assessor Bob Neil put it, the first day for "boots on the ground" in the property reassessment battle that has been waged for half a decade.
On Moffat Avenue in Washington, a picture-perfect street of ranch-style homes and Cape Cod cottages with neat-as-a-pin lawns and gardens and trilling birds, a team of three field data collectors and their supervisor set in motion a project that has been the subject of litigation, argument, appeals, news stories, letters to the editor and vitriol.
As data collectors, they're checking measurements that an appraiser looks at, along with many other factors, and places a value.
Washington's 5th Ward, just east of East Washington, was chosen as the spot for deployment, not because Washington School District, along with McGuffey, filed a complaint against county officials for not conducting a property reassessment in nearly 35 years, but because the homes are fairly close together; some brick and some frame; and are a mix of both newer and older dwellings, according to Wesley Graham, project supervisor for Tyler Technologies Inc. of Moraine, Ohio.
Residents of the neighborhood, if not at home when the data collectors were out and about, were greeted with yellow door-hangers bearing the message, "Dear Property Owner: Sorry we missed you today," and asking them to fill out a mailer about their home's living accommodations, type of heat, remodeling and modernization.
County Commission Chairman Larry Maggi, at a news conference last month, said he and his colleagues were voting to reassess only because they had run out of options.
Two residents who happened to be out and about as the Tyler data collectors made exterior measurements of homes on Moffat took a dim view of the reassessment.
"It's a bad idea. I think they're going to spend a lot of money to make a little money," said Marilyn Strang, a neighborhood resident of one week who was out walking.
She and her family moved to Peters Township in 1989 from Allegheny County's South Hills "because of the schools," she said, but now that her children are out of school, it was time to downsize. Plus, she works in Washington.
"The taxes here are better than Allegheny," she continued. "It's a shame, because I think there's so much growth potential in Washington and raising taxes might dissuade some people from moving here."
Pulling up in his pickup truck was Art Norris. "I hate to pay more for living here," he said. "We already pay quite a bit. If (property taxes) go down, it'll be nice, but I doubt that will happen."
Graham said Tyler's job is to place a value on every one of the 118,000 properties in Washington County. Because the county hasn't been reassessed in nearly 35 years, he said he can't imagine that values have gone down or stayed the same during that period. But he stressed that Tyler doesn't set people's tax rates. That job is up to the school district, municipality and county.
Data collection alone will take a year, and the property tax bills that arise from a reassessment won't take effect until 2017.
But, for now, the data collectors are the face of the reassessment, and people sometimes ask them, "What is my house worth?"
"We're not in that position right now," Graham said.
Moffat and Lockhart Street are just the beginning. After finishing the 5th Ward, Tyler will be moving on to the 6th Ward, and then other parts of the city, announcing in advance the areas on which they'll be focusing, and branching out to other parts of the county.

I have been learning piano for many years and am able to really enjoy the music of Beethoven and Chopin. When it comes to Bach, I shamefully admit, I can't see why he is held in such high esteem. His work just seems like scales coming one after the other and one over the other. I am not able to associate any emotions with them. I think this inability could be due to one or more of the following:
- My ear for perceiving polyphony is not yet developed. As it happens over time, I will be able to see things in proper light.
- I am from India and I have grown up in a different musical tradition. Most of the music here is based on a system that has no harmony. I cannot relate to Bach due to this cultural shift.
- Only people who have a gift to appreciate such music, whose brains are designed to comprehend it, can like it.
I want to know which of these comes closest to the truth. Or is there any other reason?
Is it possible to train myself to enjoy his music? If yes, how can this be done?
