It's that time of year again! What time of year, you ask? That very special time, I say, when a million odd Giants fans opinions are worth as much as one Barry Zito opinion. I'm talking about the Willie Mac Award, of course. The recipient of the award will be announced tonight (spoiler alert: it's Buster) and the fan vote tallies to one vote, vs. all the players who get a vote apiece. I'm of the opinion that they should just not let the fans vote at all if they're going to be so stingy about. Why one vote? Why not three, in honor of – you guessed it – the magic number?
All kidding aside, I'm kind of jittery going into this series against the Padres. (It's the Padres. Who am I kidding?) Jittery in a good way. Jittery in a they-don't-even-have-Jed-anymore way. I'm going to need to stockpile more blood orange San Pellegrino for the *coughjinxcough* potential big moment this weekend. Can you believe we're that close to a champagne party? Didn't the season just start?
Not to dampen the mood, but it was also announced today that Melky has become ineligible to win the batting title. He wasn't exactly eligible to begin with, but through some loopholes he was and… now he's not again. Confusing, I know. The story is that Melky requested not to be eligible because of his image issues or whatever (I think his image issues run a little deeper, but he knows better than I do) and MLB granted the request. (Bud Selig was all, "We have a second wildcard. My life is compete. Do what you want, interns.")
The MLB web team is evidently too busy making their Twitter account private and then public and then private again and then public again to update the batting average list.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Melky took performance-enhancing drugs. It should be a simple answer, probably: he's not eligible. But I don't necessarily feel that way. There are so many tainted records and awards in the history of baseball that this move feels fairly arbitrary. It doesn't change my opinion of Melky either way. I don't think he's the only one doing it, so I don't have a particular amount of distaste for him. I understand why he'd want to be out of the running for the title, but the whole situation is just icky. I'm not sure what would have been the best path to take with this, but I do know that whoever does end up landing the batting title is going to be fielding a whole lotta questions. If I were him, I'd start stocking up on the "No comment" t-shirts/blimps right about now.
Must go prepare for Orange Friday. Catch you all later.

New Jersey Gets Its First Muslim American Judge
August 4, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Sunita Sohrabji
The state of New Jersey got its first Muslim American Superior Court judge June 30, as Sohail Mohammed, a former engineer from Hyderabad, took his oath of office.
Following contentious confirmation hearings in the New Jersey State Senate, Mohammed, 47, who became interested in law after serving jury duty, began working July 1 in Passaic County Superior Court's Family Division.
"I am deeply, deeply honored to be representing the two greatest democracies in the world: India and the U.S.," Mohammed said, adding that he hoped to create a process in his courtroom that left people's dignity intact, regardless of whether they had won or lost.
Mohammed, who earned his law degree in night school at Seton Hall University while working for GEC-Marconi Electronic Systems, said he has already ruled on a number of adoption cases.
"You see the kids in court, and there are such smiles on their faces. They are already saying, 'This is my mommy; this is my daddy,'" related Mohammed, who emigrated from India with his parents when he was 10.
"One kid asked to touch the gavel. I lifted him up and he gave the gavel a loud bang. It was such a moving experience," he said.
Mohammed refused to comment on his combative confirmation hearings, saying only, "It was a process." New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had nominated Mohammed for the post Jan. 14, and the attorney had told India-West in an earlier interview that he expected his nomination to be fast-tracked through the confirmation process.
At his confirmation hearing June 29, Mohammed was grilled extensively about his ties to radical Islamist groups, and his opinion of Sharia law. Republican state Senator Gerald Cardinale, asked Mohammed about the organization Hamas – defined by the U.S. as a terrorist group – and also asked him to define the term jihad.
Cardinale also asked Mohammed if he had ever objected to the term "Islamo terrorist."
Republican state Senator Joseph Kyrillos asked Mohammed why there was not more condemnation from Muslims about terrorism.
In an editorial, local columnist Bruce Lowry likened Mohammed's confirmation hearings to a "witch hunt."
Jolsna John, president of the North American South Asian Bar Association, said the accusations levied against Mohammed were ridiculous.
"Just because your name is Mohammed does not mean you're a terrorist," she said.
"Sohail has done some really great work for our community," said John, noting that Mohammed, post 9-11, had worked to build bridges between law enforcement and the Muslim American community.
NASABA reached out to Mohammed during his confirmation process, said John, who encouraged other South Asian Americans to apply for judgeships, adding that her organization could provide help and resources.
Cyrus McGoldrick, civil rights manager of the Council on American-Islamic Relations New York chapter, told India-West that the New Jersey state Senate had created a double standard during Mohammed's confirmation process.
"This tells Muslim Americans that their service, their acts of patriotism, aren't as valuable as those of other Americans," stated McGoldrick.
"Muslims are being told on the one hand 'acculturate within your larger community,' yet our institutions and our people are being shut out," he said.
Mohammed is a board member of the American Muslim Union and an executive board member of the New Jersey Bar Association. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Mohammed represented more than 30 undocumented immigrants who were not affiliated with the attacks, but caught up in sweeps by federal agents. The father of three boys has trained the FBI on Islamic culture and arranged a job fair in New Jersey where young Muslims could apply for jobs with law enforcement agencies.
Mohammed, who formerly practiced immigration law in Clifton, New Jersey, told India-West he has disbanded his solo practice, handing his clients off to other attorneys.
"It was really sad for me," he said. "But there's a greater good to be done out there."

Organic produce can help retailers build store loyalty, because consumers of organic fruits and vegetables tend to come back again and again, sources said.
Consumers of organic produce typically are loyal shoppers, said Addie Pobst, coordinator of imports, sustainability, organic integrity and food safety for Viva Tierra Organic Inc., Sedro-Woolley, Wash.
"Organic customers are very loyal. When someone goes organic, we tend to see that they increase their level of organic purchasing year over year," she said.
Doug Classen, sales manager for The Nunes Co., Salinas, Calif., agreed.
"Organic customers tend to come with an agenda in place. They are very loyal customers," he said.
Classen said loyal organic customers translate to a need for a complete program at retail.
"When they come into a store, they are looking for someone that can offer them a complete line of products. That's what we try to do," he said.
The Nunes Co. recently added multiple items to its organic line, including several varieties of chard, kale and parsley, as well as sweet baby broccoli and leeks, in an attempt to meet those needs.
Target market
Because of these loyal tendencies, suppliers have spent some time determining exactly what type of consumer they are trying to reach.
Roger Pepperl, marketing director at Stemilt Growers Inc., Wenatchee, Wash., said there are two basic groups of shoppers: those that always buy organic, and those that just choose a few organic items.
"For the organic shopper, the consumer that buys all organic products, that number is growing," he said.
However, Pepperl also said that market demographic is fairly saturated.
"It's the middle area of organic shoppers that has the biggest growth potential," he said.
Diane Dempster, organic specialist for Seattle-based wholesaler Charlie's Produce agreed there is potential for growth by expanding the group of shoppers that regularly choose organics.
She said she's started to see evidence that growth is already occurring.
"I think new loyalty is developing all the time," she said. "The hardcore percentage of people who shopped at organic co-ops and used home delivery services are still buying, but now their children and grandchildren are shopping organic, too."
Those new organic shoppers typically choose a more traditional retail location.
"Consumers that never purchased organic products before are now shopping regularly, and not just at health food stores," Dempster said.

New York June 21st 1951 Dear Edith. Here it is the longest day of the year and I am the longest way from home that I am likely to be for some time. New York is certainly treating me well. The weather is wonderful. Fine and bright, but cool and balmy. And we are both feeling well too. My feet are better than they have been for some time. On the train I had no trouble-took a pill the first night, but only because I thought I ought to. We left Washington at noon on Tuesday & arrived here at 4:30 (It was really 1 o'clock ant 5:30) right time. Our reservations at the hotel was waiting for us & we were soon settled. All we did that eve, was to walk over to Radio city and Fifth Avenue, get an ice cream soda and come home to rest. Wednesday was only yesterday, but it seems a long way back, We got word from Arch about the tickets he had arranged for us, and went over to Madison Ave to get them. (All this going and coming is via taxi) The A S C A P office is in a most pretensious new building. We went over to look along Fifth Avenue and spent some time in Tiffany's looking at their china. In the p.m. we went to The Kind and I at the St James theatre. It is a most beautiful show- so colorful and clean and bright. After the show we had our second meal of the day- dinner at the Brass Rail the cost was $9.50 but it was good, In the eve we subsided a little merely walking around the hotel and surroundings. To-day (Thursday) was another day. We went down to the 42nd St pier and boarded a sight-seeing yacht for a 3 hour trip around the Island of Manhattan, A guide pointed out the many many noteworthy places. It was a very fine trip, and pleasant all the way. We went down to 34th St. this p.m. just to see what was going on. We struggled thru Macy's- you would never believe the rush and confusion three is there. There were three policemen and a store usher at the door as we crowded our way out. and they seemed glad to get rid of us. There was one place where $34.00 might be save on a refrigerator. the people were really acting crazy. It must be terrible to be a sales person there. We did not go to Gimball's- we may go there later. We were back at the hotel at 3 p.m. and have taken time to catch up on our baths our writing and the pressing of clothes. (Fern is a good hand at that) We are now dressed to go to South Pacific this eve. We have tickets for a Sat. matinee of Call McMadaw, and for Fri. for the broadcast of Twenty Questions Thou there is the Music Hall to go to and the sight seeing trip, and the Met Art Museum and church on Sunday, and we hope Central Park Sunday p. m. So this brings us up to date. Please pass this on to the family. Love to all Maude (Thanks for your good letter received in Washington) VISIT NEW YORK THE YEAR ROUND VACATION CITY 1420 Marilyn Drive Ogden Utah HOTEL TAFT 7TH Ave at 50 th St. NEW YORK 19 Room 1211 Mrs. Edith Dee Green 1443 Washington Ogden NEW YORK, N.

Koster says the new packaging uses nearly 40% less plastic by net weight than the company's current trays, and 50% less than others on the market. It also allows consumers to better see the product. The company is adopting the new packaging across the board, completely replacing the black trays. "This is the right thing to do," Koster says. "It's a sustainability win."

Performance Improvement Project to Identify Factors that Led to Employee Exposure to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Nya Ebama, M.D., Aman Dalal, M.D., Janice Burns, R.N., Ed Mangini, R.N., Kathy DiBenedetto, R.N., Teresa Abreu, R.N., Wehbeh Wehbeh, M.D., and James Rahal, M.D.
Background: The New York Hospital Queens, Department of Infection Control Tuberculosis (TB) Policy aims to provide appropriate treatment for patients, offer prophylaxis to infected staff members, and prevent nosocomial transmission to patients and staff. It describes procedures to identify patients with active TB by clinical and laboratory means, report cases of TB to the New York City Department of Health, and isolate patients with confirmed or suspected infectious TB. It emphasizes having an alternate diagnosis and the involvement of an Infection Control practioner when removing a patient from respiratory isolation is considered. Despite having such a policy, there are still situations in which isolation is discontinued prematurely leading to unwarranted, direct, prolonged contact to a patient with active, symptomatic TB.
Objective: To identify the factors that led to patient and hospital staff exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Methods: A retrospective study of TB exposures at New York Hospital Queens between January 2003 and December 2007 was conducted. It was approved by the IRB. The Infection Control Department tracks and records all TB cases and all hospital exposures to TB. A review of this data determined that 27 patients with positive TB cultures were sources of subsequent exposures. A retrospective chart review was conducted for these patients to determine compliance of hospital staff with the TB policy.
Results: There were 165 TB cases documented in this period. In 27 of these 165 cases, the hospital policy was not followed. This led to the exposure of 1,368 patients and staff to TB. Most of the exposures (440/1,368) were in 2007. Among the 27 patients, 14 were male and 13 female, one was less than the age of 30 years old, eight between 30-50, five between 51-70, 12 between 70-90, and one greater than 90. Ten were immunocompromised and three had a history of tuberculosis. There were 13 with cough, 14 with fever, and eight with cough and fever. There were 16 with an upper lobe finding on CXR, and five of these 16 had cough. Ten out of 16 patients who had a CT scan of the lungs had an upper lobe finding. In eight cases, tuberculosis isolation was initiated appropriately upon admission but was incorrectly discontinued. Five of these eight patients were still symptomatic when isolation removed. Furthermore, correct adherence to the policy would have led to initiating isolation for the additional 19 cases. Eleven of these 19 patients were isolated during their hospitalization.
Conclusions: Our study shows that poor compliance with the hospital's TB policy was the main factor that led to unnecessary exposures. Adherence to this policy must be encouraged to prevent these exposures. This can be done through increased education to nursing staff, residents, and attendings and instituting a protocol for initiating and discontinuing TB isolation.

Oral History Program Lois Berlin Shepherd Interviewed by Marci Farr 12 August 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Lois Berlin Shepherd Interviewed by Marci Farr 12 August 2008 Copyright © 2009 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University.

It was conducted August 12, 2008 and concerns her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Lois Berlin Shepherd, a graduate in 1947. It is August 12, 2008. We are interviewing her in her home in Ogden, Utah. Just tell us a little bit about your early life Lois, where you grew up, where you went to school, and your family. LS: I grew up in Huntsville, Utah. I went to Huntsville Junior High and Weber High School. My parents had twelve children. I was number eleven. Twelve children, that is a lot. My mom died when I was two and a half years old. My sisters were wonderful. They helped raise me. MF: That is great. When you were older why did you decide to become a nurse? LS: After my mom died I stayed with an aunt and uncle for awhile. My Uncle always talked about "what did I want to be when I grew up?" I said, "I want to be a nurse. I just want to be a nurse." Then he said, "Well if you can't be a nurse you can be an airline stewardess." I guess I stuck with my decision to be a nurse. I was really lucky. At the time I graduated from Weber High School in 1944. The cadet nurse program came out. I think that I was very lucky. There were thirty-eight young women that joined that year and came in to the cadet nurse program at the Dee Hospital. There were dorms here on 24th street (The Dee Hospital Nurses Home) that we stayed at for 3 years. I felt really lucky to get in to the program and really enjoyed it. I met a lot of wonderful nurses and roommates and we had great teachers. 2 MF: That also makes it worth it because then you know you are more apt to learn and you feel like you can improve yourself. Why did you choose the Dee Hospital? LS: I think because it was right here in Weber County, close to home. MF: You were close to home. That probably was good. LS: It was. MF: What was your first impressions when you first entered nurses training? What were your impressions about the school? LS: Being there when I was very young, the school, I thought was great. The dormitories were nice and clean at first, I was alone in a little room in the basement and it was not too great. Then a little later on, I moved into another room with a roommate. It was more fun. It was more fun to be in a double room and get to meet people and know people. We had a wonderful class that we shared a lot of good times with. MF: So who was your roommate? LS: Well, my first roommate was Afton Ure Roy. Then I had a roommate named Donna Sorenson from Logan, Utah and we were roommates for the rest of the time. We became good friends. MF: Did you have some of your classes at Weber College? LS: We did. MF: Was that your first year, that you had your classes down there? And you had some at the hospital, right? LS: Right. We walked every school day from up on Harrison Boulevard down to Jefferson avenue. 3 MF: That was probably a little bit of a jaunt? LS: Yes, it was. I guess it was good for us. MF: So who were some of your instructors that you remember? You had some great teachers. LS: I was trying to think this morning. I remember Miss Valcarce, I wrote a couple down because I thought I might forget. Miss Valcarce, Mrs. Miner, Miss Manning, Hazel Flamm, the room mothers, you maybe are going to ask me about the room mothers. MF: Yes. LS: Mrs. Woodward and Mrs. Wood. There was one other one…Mrs. McGaw. And maybe you have already got those in your history. MF: How were the house mothers? LS: They were great. They were strict but very nice. We had to be in by ten o'clock every night. MF: You had your curfew. LS: Yes we had to be in by our curfew at 10 p.m. MF: Did you have any doctors teach your classes or was it mostly nurses? LS: I think there were mostly nurses. Once in awhile we would have a lecture by the doctors. I remember Dr. Sheldon P. Hayes and Dr. Orson Whitney Young who taught Life Science at Weber College. MF: Who were some of your classmates that you went through school with? LS: When I went to nurses school? MF: When you went to nurses school. 4 LS: Alice Berg, Corrine Cowley, Beverly Chamberlain, Yo Oka and many others. MF: We haven't interviewed her yet. LS: Yo Oka is her name now, it was Yoshiko Iwamoto then. MF: Yes. LS: I have got a whole scrapbook of pictures of them. Do you want to see any pictures? MF: Yes that will be great. LS: A scrapbook of pictures. MF: So you guys had your class of thirty-eight is what you started with. LS: We started with that many; it says that in the newspaper. MF: That is crazy. LS: That was the very first number that applied with this cadet nursing program. MF: With your nurses program. That is good. So you know, probably, Helen Farr and Faye Longhurst. LS: Yes. MF: They were both in the program, right? LS: They were just ahead of us. MF: They were a year before you. Okay so they were '46. I was trying to remember if they were the same year as you. LS: They were ahead of us. MF: Tell us about a typical day at the hospital. After your probationary time, is that when you started your shift work, was after that time, or did you start doing it before? 5 LS: If I remember correctly, we did not start working until after the Probationary Period. Then we would work certain shifts and then go to school. I remember it was really interesting because we got to try every floor. MF: Yes, do everything. LS: Do everything. We even learned to do the IVs, give medications, and those kind of things. Most of the time, I remember doing the bed baths and the regular care, taking care of the patients. MF: You learned everything. You learned every single floor while you were in the program. LS: We did. MF: What was your favorite floor? LS: I always said that I either wanted to work with the children or the older people. I did end up working in the nursery the last ten or twenty years, maybe. MF: Tell us about P.M. care. What was that? LS: That is when we would get them ready for dinner, the evening dinner. Just go in and wash their hands, make sure they would get up and go to the restroom and get cleaned up and ready for their dinner, evening meal. Nursing has changed. We did all our charting by hand. Now I am sure they use computers and it is very different isn't it? MF: You constantly had paperwork to do. What would you do if you had a night off or time off? LS: In those days… We had a singing group, when I think about it, while we were there, there was a double trio of nurses. Some of those that I mentioned earlier 6 and some others, a double trio and we would sing. Sopranos: Donna Sorenson (later Robertson) and Margaret Critchlow (later Weight); Seconds: Alice Berg (later Stephens) and Lois Berlin (later Shepherd); Altos: Dorothy Mills (later Bird) and Joyce Mordaunt (later Way). Our Accompanist was Betty Van Dyke. It was a lot of fun. We even made a record but mine got broken. So we would often sing for different programs and for church meetings. So we had fun that way. While I was there we would attend Sunday meetings too. Joyce Mordaunt, have you met Joyce Mordaunt Way? MF: Not yet. LS: Doctor Way's wife. I remember she was Joyce Mordaunt. She lived up on Harrison Boulevard so we would attend her ward for Sunday school and that is how I met my husband. He was teaching a class there. MF: That is great. Were you required to attend church or was it a choice? LS: No, it was a choice. MF: Were there any traditions associated with the hospital that you remember? LS: Just to be in at ten o'clock every night. MF: Did they do anything during the holidays at all? Do you remember anything special that they would do? LS: We just probably would work. MF: Tell us about your capping and pinning ceremony. Do you remember where that took place? LS: Well I have a picture of it over there. It was right there at the nurses home (the capping), after we had been in for six months. They held it at the nurses home 7 and that is where we would have programs. We probably sang, and others would sing and use their talents. MF: Tell us about graduation. Do you remember where that took place? You said it was June of '47? LS: June of '47. We had a wonderful party and even a dance after after the graduation. It was a big celebration after three years of nursing. MF: While you were in training did you get paid at all? Were you compensated for your time? LS: If we were, it would be a small amount. But we were lucky that the Cadet Nurse Program paid for our training. MF: After graduation did you stay at the Dee Hospital? LS: I did. MF: What did you do after you graduated? LS: I stayed there and worked for…well let us see…I worked there until September 1948 and then continued working…(I got married in December 1947) but I did stay, and worked another year after that. MF: What did you do after that? You got married… LS: Then I would go back just part-time and work maybe one day a week. When my children got older, I would work 2-3 days a week. Then before I retired, I went back and worked full-time for awhile. MF: You stayed with the Dee Hospital? LS: I did, at the McKay Dee Hospital. MF: Then did you just transfer over to the McKay? 8 LS: Yes. MF: What year did you retire? LS: It was in 1983, (the end of '83) because then my husband had retired and we went on a mission to Scotland after he retired. I kind of retired a little bit early, when I was fifty-eight so that we could go on a mission. MF: Did you know any of the members of the Dee family? LS: Elizabeth Dee Stewart. When I worked in the preemie nursery at the new McKay Hospital she would actually come over and sit and hold the little preemies and help us feed them. She would just love to come and sit and hold them and rock them and feed the preemies, not routinely but once in awhile when she had a chance and that was so special. MF: She is a great lady because she helped so much. That was her thing was it seemed like every person in the Dee family had a specialty. Maude's was the clinic that was at the hospital. Elizabeth's was always nursing because she wanted to be a nurse. I think that is why her association with the nurses was so strong is because she always wanted to but she didn't have that chance but it still helped you out. We have been reading the histories, everybodys little histories that they wrote in the 1995 one. LS: Really? If I could get my book over here and show you something, can I do that? Because I remember when I retired, we got a twenty year pin at one point and I have a picture of that. I hate to interrupt your interview. MF: You are absolutely fine. 9 LS: Okay these are all the pictures of our nursing group and all those. I imagine you have all those. MF: Oh those are great. LS: These are our class. MF: We just interviewed Eloise. LS: Oh did you? Eloise Martineau? MF: Yes. We just interviewed her the other day. And we did Ruth. Oh those are so pretty. LS: This is Yo Iwamoto. MF: Okay, yes, we haven't talked to her yet. Dorothy, we have talked to Dorothy. LS: Good. This is our group; most of these are still with us. This is one of the reunions a little later. MF: Oh that was your picture. LS: This is the one I was thinking of that I received a twenty year pin from Eva Jean Law at the McKay Dee Hospital and she was the Director of Nurses. That was December fifth in 1980. And that was after twenty years. MF: This was when you had your class reunion? LS: Yes. MF: That is a great picture. LS: If you want to copy it, you may. MF: Yes, that would be great to have. LS: My photo machine isn't working right now, I tried it last night and it didn't work but I could make a copy later and give it to you. 10 MF: That is fine. Are you coming to the luncheon? Are you planning on that? LS: Yes. MF: If you want, just do that and then we can get it from you then if you want to do that. That would be perfect. Then we will have that. LS: This is my roommate Donna Sorensen back here but she has passed away since then. Quite a few of them have passed away since then. MF: There is not so many left huh? LS: This is Joyce Mordaunt Way. MF: Dorothy. LS: And Dorothy. I can't believe that these three are all gone. She is gone too. MF: That is why we are doing this project is because every day my friend would cut out clippings and say, "Okay, here is another one we did not get." LS: I will go and set that aside if you would like a copy of that I could get you one. MF: Yes, that would be so great. LS: Here is our little cadet nurse. Pat…some of them have saved their capes, we had capes and hats and things but I didn't save mine. I should have. I just saved that little (an insignia) and this is my roommate Donna Sorenson. MF: What is this person's name? Faye Ball. LS: Faye. MF: She saved both of her uniforms. She has her purse and everything and all of her little epitats? So when we have our big reception up at Weber State we are going to have her uniform on display. 11 LS: Wonderful. There is commencement. The 35th annual commencement on Friday May 23,… MF: Of 1947. So it was at Weber College. LS: The Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital School of Nursing, an annual junior promenade Friday May 2nd nineteen-hundred and forty-seven. That is at Weber Ballroom. They had that after the graduation. MF: That would be a reason to celebrate. LS: These pictures, I just saved a lot of things, even the picture of the hospital but I am sure you have pictures of those. MF: I think we have that, yes. That is great though. LS: These are some of the reunions that…we have had small reunions. This was the hospital, the McKay, you probably have that too, in '74. Here it is. MF: That is great. LS: Miss Mortensen, she was one of our supervisors, I remember her. She was a sweetheart. MF: That is great. LS: Lots of pictures in there. Just licenses and I did save some of the obituaries and things of people that have died since then. Some of the doctors, they are just so nice and they worked with us so well. I think everyone respected doctors. We would always stand up as they would come in the room and let them sit down. I don't know if they get that respect now. MF: I know, you wonder sometimes huh? 12 LS: They probably do but I thought it was great that we could respect them and stand up when they come in. Doctor Martineau… MF: Now that is Eloise's husband. LS: Eloise's husband. John Martineau, that is his obituary. Just some of the ones. Doctor Way. (I also have his obituary). MF: Now that was Joyce's… LS: Joyce's husband. And he passed away, I have saved some of them. Some of us have had our eightieth birthdays and more. Lots of pictures of that kind of thing. And we have taken some trips with some of our nurse groups back to North Carolina one year we went to see Alice Berg Stephens. But she just passed away this last year. There was about four or five of us that went back and visited her and had a great trip. MF: Oh that is so great. LS: These here…Dorothy Mills Bird and there is Alice Berg Stephens, Coreen Cowley Berg, and this is Alice's daughter, there is me and Yo Oka. So me and three of our husbands went back and spent a week. We had a great time with the reunion. MF: You all are such great friends and you had to rely on each other. LS: That is right. We have quite a few pictures of that group. Here is Mac Bird, that is Dorothy's husband. And my husband. They were able to go. And then Alice's husband was there. He has passed away since then. MF: What a great visit though. 13 LS: That was. These are just eightieth birthdays and things. (Pictures of our group who turned 80). MF: Get togethers, those are so great. Do you know how many of your friends are left? LS: Well I haven't counted them up. But no, I better not say exactly without counting. I could count them for you. Do you want me to take the time while you are here? MF: That is alright. Those are great pictures. So that is your graduation picture right? LS: Well with one stripe. Because it seems like this might have been our first stripe. We would get more stripes on our caps as we went through the years because we were there for three years. That is how it was, three stripes up here and then the graduation. They don't wear caps anymore do they? MF: They don't. They don't wear uniforms, they wear scrubs and yes, it is kind of a whole different aspect of it. LS: There is probably fifteen or sixteen of us left. MF: Fifteen. LS: Yes. MF: Is your group the one that had the two separate classes, the one that started in January and then there was one that started in June? Is that why it was so large? LS: Yes this was just our class. There has got to be one of them that showed all of them. This is the picture that showed some of them that were just six months ahead of us. Like Fujiki and Hoskins…they were six months ahead but they were in the same year. 14 MF: Did you still have your separate graduations? LS: Yes like Marge Miller and her sister Faye, they were six months apart through nursing but Marge was in our class but her sister was six months ahead of her. And then we had big sisters. I can remember our big sisters that we would help us along if we had questions or needed help or anything. MF: There was this lady named Anne Baldree? Was she in your group? LS: Yes. She was the same year as I was. MF: We are trying to get an interview set up with her because she is in Idaho. LS: She is. She may be coming down to the reunion I think. This is her. She was Anne Johnson, now it is Baldree. LS: This was my big sister. Erma Abel was her name. She was my big sister. She was a year ahead of me. The Big Sisters were kind of like our mentors. If we needed help, we could ask them questions. MF: Did you ever suntan up on the roof? LS: We did. We would go suntan on the roof occasionally. I have pictures of that. This is Alice Berg and myself. I loved to work in the nursery. MF: Was that your favorite floor? LS: It was. It was really fun. Things have changed a lot. Now they let the mom's hold the babies and the grandma's and everybody hold the baby. Everybody holds the baby, even the little children. MF: They do. LS: I know we had to keep them separate and not let anyone get close to them for fear they would get sick or get a disease. 15 MF: How long were the moms in bed? LS: Probably eight days after the birth. MF: They wouldn't get them up at all, right? Would they just stay in bed most of the time? LS: I know my first child was born in 1948 and I paid eighty five dollars for the hospital stay and I was there eight days. And now they get mothers up and send them home the next day almost. MF: I was talking to Ruth Brown, do you remember Ruth Donaldson? LS: Yes. MF: We talked to her the other day. LS: Did you? MF: We had a great time and she was talking about that same thing, about how much that has changed in nursing, you were more bedside nurses, you take care of each of the needs whereas now it is the monitor, everybody tends the monitor. LS: I know. MF: It is just not as personal. LS: They write it on the computer and everything. MF: Exactly and that is how that goes. But yes, it was just interesting to think how long people would be in bed compared to now, now they just kick you out. LS: We have a granddaughter that is expecting this week and that is probably what will happen to her. She'll go up and have the baby and go right home that day or the next. 16 MF: And then go back the next day. But insurance makes that possible. Insurance guarantees your stay, how long it will be. Well we appreciate you letting us come visit with you.

Every now and then I find myself craving something that might not be the most 'diet friendly'. Today, with the largest craving for a hot mile-high pastrami on rye with Swiss cheese and caramelized onions, I picked up Foster Farms Turkey Pastrami. Foster Farms poultry is always 100% natural with no added hormones or steroids, no artificial flavors, coloring, chemical preservatives or any other synthetic ingredient.
Unlike regular beef, this turkey pastrami neither shrinks nor becomes extremely pliable when heated. The taste is absolutely marvelous, and far superior to most pre-packaged and pre-sliced pastramis. It's spicy, salty, and even a tad smoky. The texture, however, will not fool anyone who's ever had pastrami into thinking that this is made out of beef. It has the fine grain that only dark poultry meat contains. Still, it made an amazing sandwich, if not a precise replica, and was far better heated than most lean and thinly sliced luncheon pastramis that I've sampled before.
One serving (2 ounces) of Foster Farms Turkey Pastrami contains 70 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of saturated fat (both of which are 5% of the RDA), 450 milligrams of sodium (19% of the RDA), and11 grams of protein.
My block cost $2.50, but as the size of the blocks vary, the price will as well. Pastrami is one product where the nutrition facts can vary wildly from brand to brand. A serving of Sara Lee Beef Pastrami has similar nutrition facts, but the sodium content is 25%. Foster Farms Turkey Pastrami is a good option if you don't eat beef, but as with most pastramis, the sodium content is rather high.

The many styles of Ryan Braun, part one
FASHION WEEK February 13th, 2012
What would fashion week be without judgement on the way people are dressed?
Vince: Before I get into the audacity of this outfit I would like to point out that this picture was taken when Ryan Braun helped the Milwaukee Bucks pick their new cheerleaders for the 2011-2012 season meaning that A.) Ryan Braun dressed like this knowing he would be photographed and B.) Ryan Braun dressed like this knowing he would be in the presence of a ton of hot girls that he could totally hook up with if he wanted to. I am not sure which part of that statement makes me angrier. I am trying to think of something I can say about that shirt besides "it looks like something a gay guy would wear," but I am having trouble because, seriously, it looks like something a gay guy would wear. Am I missing something? Is the top of my shirt looks like it got faded by bleach look in this year? Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings. I have not played the game yet, and am going to be gamemastering the intro adventure for a small groupin the near future.
My question about True Grit is twofold.
Firstly, am I correct to understand that True Grit in Only War means that a character can apply twice his toughness bonus to resist critical damage?
Secondly, for those of you that have played through the introductory adventure, how does this make the ork encounters feel? It seems to me that the advantage of True Grit makes orks very tough indeed. And in the adventure as printed there are a lot of orks to contend with. I am very curious as to the experiences you have had with the intro adventures, or orks in general using the rules in Only War.
I'm thinking about toning down the orks' toughness somehow, whether by changing True Grit or just dropping it from the ork talent list I'm not sure.
If you think its just right as written let me know. If you think it could benefit from some adjustment, whether to True Grit or just adjusting the orks, I'd like to hear what you think.

"I adore this," raves Jeffrey Alan Marks, admiring its traditional form, understated linen, and the wood's weathered finish. "The pitch of the back is great, and the arms aren't confining." With its generous width it will work best with a large table, he says.
Height: 39"; width: 23"; depth: 27"; seat height: 19"; material: oak frame in weathered-oak finish with Dacron-wrapped-foam fill, sand Belgian-linen upholstery, and antiqued-brass-nailhead trim (also available in brown-oak finish and other fabrics); delivery: 1–2 weeks; price: $399; restorationhardware.com.
Febo Chair by Antonio Citterio for Maxalto from B&B Italia
"The soft, sensual shape is inviting and a throwback to Italian designs of the 1970s," remarks Katie Leede. She also praises the stylish topstitching as well as the "unusual and striking" upholstered legs. Because of its glamorous look, she pictures a set surrounding a bronze dining table.
Height: 31"; width: 19.6"; depth: 23.6"; seat height: 18.5" (other sizes available); material: upholstered steel frame with polyurethane-foam fill; delivery: 14–16 weeks; price: $1,484 c.o.m.; maxalto.it.
Who Dining Chair by Rodolfo Dordoni for Molteni&C
"Fantastic," Marks says. "The wood and the simple silhouette recall Danish furniture. And I love the rounded rail on the back because it's easy to grab." He also appreciates the lightly padded leather seat, which is cushy enough for long meals, and says its slim frame is just right for a small antique table.
Height: 33.5"; width: 17.75"; depth: 22.5"; seat height: 17.75"; material: dark-oak frame with Sinfonia chocolate-brown leather seat (also available as an armchair and in other woods and leathers); delivery: 8–10 weeks; price: $1,428; moltenidada.com.
#455 Dining Side Chair by A. Rudin
"This is very versatile," Leede says. "Depending on the fabric, it can work with a variety of styles and settings." To give the clean-lined design added oomph, she would upholster it in a suzani for an exotic look. It's also the most comfortable of the group, according to Leede, so it could double as a desk chair.
Height: 39"; width: 20"; depth: 26"; seat height: 20"; material: alder wood in tobacco finish with Dacron-wrapped-foam fill (custom sizes and finishes available); delivery: 10–12 weeks; price: $1,760 c.o.m.; arudin.com.
Pianoforte Chair by Gregorysung for Roche Bobois
With its graceful profile and glossy lacquer finish, Marks likens this to "a chic Jean Nouvel piece of furniture—and the red stripe along the front reminds me of the crimson soles of Christian Louboutin shoes." The sleek style would work well in a sophisticated urban apartment, he points out.
Height: 33.5"; width: 20"; depth: 22"; seat height: 18"; material: beech frame in glossy-black-lacquer finish with foam fill and black Softan-leather seat (other lacquer finishes and leathers available); delivery: 12–14 weeks; price: $1,350; roche-bobois.com.
Chippendale Side Chair by Ethan Allen
"The tall back is terrific because it's executed in a playful, easygoing way," Leede says. "The scale is exaggerated, but the ornate motif isn't fussy." She also lauds the black finish, which "lends drama," especially in a gallery-like white interior.
Height: 40"; width: 21"; depth: 22.5"; seat height: 19.5"; material: birch-and-poplar frame in antique-black finish with foam fill and black Keats upholstery (also available in Southport antique finish and other fabrics); delivery: 4 weeks; price: $349; ethanallen.com.
Nakashima Straight Backed Chair from Design Within Reach
"A design classic and very well made," Marks observes, citing its sculptural curves and the contoured-for-comfort seat. The walnut and hickory will also acquire a beautiful patina and are extremely durable, he says, "so it's great for kids." Marks envisions it with a glass table so "the chair is the star."
Height: 30"; width: 22.5"; depth: 17.5"; seat height: 17"; material: solid-walnut frame with solid- hickory spindles; delivery: 10 days; price: $634; dwr.com.
Leaf Chair by John Derian
"Charming and incredibly comfortable," Leede raves. "It recalls a traditional English scroll-back chair, but it's sturdier and plusher than an antique." Another selling point: the "lean and elegant" turned legs, whose casters provide "mobility and an old-world vibe." With its compact proportions, she sees it in a small space.
Height: 31.5"; width: 18"; depth: 23"; seat height: 19"; material: maple frame in dark-cherry-stain finish with soy-based-foam fill; delivery: 8–10 weeks; price: $1,875 c.o.m.; johnderian.com.
Bella Side Chair by Troscan Design from Holly Hunt
"Even though the seat has no cushioning, it's comfortable enough to sit in for hours," marvels Marks. And with a leather-covered back, it's handsome from behind, he says. Because of its slightly rustic vibe, Marks visualizes it in a country house, but would opt for brightly colored upholstery to offset the wood.
Height: 30.5"; width: 19.75"; depth: 21.75"; seat height: 18.25"; material: claro-walnut frame in natural finish with oxblood leather seat and back (also available as an armchair and in other woods, finishes, and leathers); delivery: 10 weeks; price: $1,988; hollyhunt.com.
Marie Side Chair by Room & Board
Leede finds this frill-free chair thoroughly practical, but suggests adding a white canvas or linen slipcover: "It would soften the boxy lines and legs but still keep it very tailored and fresh, like a piece by Christian Liaigre." The chair also happens to be "a fantastic value," she says.
Height: 34"; width: 21"; depth: 25"; seat height: 21"; material: maple frame in ebony-stain finish with Dacron-wrapped-foam fill and black leather upholstery (also available as an armchair and in other finishes and fabrics); delivery: 10–14 days; price: $429; roomandboard.com.

Alix- Allergies= not fun. Enjoy your vacuum. We have a Dyson and I love it! It works great! With two long hairded cats and two dogs, it's a must for a good vacuum!
Amy: I loved to blog years ago, when i had time and ambition to do so. I have one that i converted into a "mom" blog awhile back on blogspot, its called "Life with Layla."
Alix: I still wear my maternity clothes =)) , they are so comfy and non constrictive! Someone asked me the other day if I was wearing maternity capris, i was like "yes...." " are you....?" "NO! they are comfy, ok? " lol. You'll still have to wear them for a month or so after birth anyway.. it took me nearly 2 months to fit into my old jeans.
Tara: Yeah my charts changed slightly. Luckily i had already O'd when it died. Theres no chance for any mishaps, as we've been diligent about using protection. But still want to track everything
afm- last night DH was trying to get layla to say "no", since she understands it, and shes "oh". So he kept going "Layla, can you say 'no'. Noooooo. Come on big girl say no! "... and she looked dead at him, then looked at me and her bottom lip started quivering and looked at me and burst into tears for a good 5 minutes, nothing we said or did would get her to stop.. i swear my heart broke! It was funny at the same time..lol.
Then today, DH took off so we could go speak to some realtors about looking to buy/rent. I got dressed up in a nice pair of jeans and tee shirt, and then we went out for lunch, and when i sat down, I felt like i sat on something wet, so i reached down and felt the seat, nothing. So I kept feeling this wet spot..so I finally ran my hand on the back of my leg, only to discover I had ripped my jeans!! I had been all over to realtors and lender offices, with a pair of ripped jeans (im not sure when they ripped, which is worse).
if anything, this will entertain you LOL
So weird...I'm from the PNW too!n
So I start Clomid in two months instead of at Christmas because I am too antsy for a bay and I can't wait. I have to take a pregnancy test on the 30th so fingers crossed!
Alexx- Me too! Hope you get that BFP before Clomid!
Alix- I have never had my dyson give me any problems. Though I doubt I could have vacuumed when I was pregnant, I could barely walk.
Alexx- Woohoo more PNW people.
Brie- I looked for your blog but there are apparently quite a few people that have lifes with Layla. LOL
Tara- KMFC for you and this cycle. Lots of prayers for you guys, I hope you don't have to go see that specialist!
AFM- Jury duty today... I got on a trial (which is all I can say about that for the time being). SO it was my first real day being away from Nathan like a working person. Felt really weird. And he was so busy playing with blocks when I got home he didn't even notice I got here. Made me sad. My blog is a work in progress for sure. I am going to revamp that first post I did and make it a bit more concise so it's not like reading a book. My friend who reads lots of blogs said it was wordy and to take some details out. Keep everything but take a few details out... and maybe add another picture to break it up a bit. I will post a new blog Wednesday night with food stuff! It'll be crock pot honey chicken... it's NOT a new recipe but I have jury duty, give me a break, I'm doing my duty as a citizen of this here country. LOL It is an amazing recipe though... I REALLY recommend you take that recipe and make it. We have a crock pot party every year at our house (this was the third one)... the honey chicken won last year and there were some amazing dishes (and I didn't even vote for it). So that's Wednesday. Gotta go get the kidlet washed up with his night time bath then to bed. SO weird only getting a few hours with him. Thankfully he woke up before I left to BF this morning... skipping lunch/nap feeding he does sometimes anyways now... but I couldn't have skipped breakfast and lunch I have enough pressure in just skipping the nap feeding.

Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week.
A collection of 100 CEOs from prominent companies have come together to voice their concern about sluggish progress in the U.S. in the STEM education fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – and where that leaves the country in terms of national competitiveness. The compilation includes essays and insight from tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Eric Schmidt of Google as well as leaders from a vast array of corporate giants like Cisco, Coca-Cola, Eli Lilly and Lockheed Martin.
duled for the week ahead as members of Congress left Washington this past weekend for the annual Fourth of July recess. Each recess is typically met with at least a couple of media stories about how it is ill-timed or even undeserved vacation. But don't fall into the trap of thinking it's a vacation. Last week, Roll Call, the pre-eminent publication for Capitol Hill and everyone who follows it closely, highlighted some findings from a Congressional Management Foundation survey about members' work habits and how they spend time on recess.
Female entrepreneurs in the United States benefit from more than just their own personal strengths and aspirations—they also benefit from an environment that is more open to women-led startups than any other country in the world. A new index released last month in Turkey at the Dell Women's Entrepreneur Network conference compared 17 countries across 30 indicators that foster high-potential entrepreneurship. For those hoping for a silver bullet issue to focus policy efforts, there isn't one.
It is going to be a busy week in Washington, especially on the House side. The House Judiciary Committee has two days devoted to markup of a couple pieces of legislation – H.R. 1772 (the Legal Workforce Act) and H.R. 2131 (the Supplying Knowledge-based Immigrants and Lifting Levels of STEM Visas Act) – that focus on tighter employment verification and expanding H1-B visas. Of particular interest to those in the startup space might be the House Small Business Committee hearing on how mobile medical app entrepreneurs are changing the future of health care. Meanwhile, the Joint Economic Committee examines "smarter regulations." Other topics include: impact of Obamacare on U.S. businesses, energy jobs, wireless technology and the history of minimum wage.
The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship was recently recognized as the top university business incubator in the world—beating out 150 incubators from 22 countries. The Houston-based incubator from Rice University led the charge as 15 U.S. universities dominated the top 25.
If you thought the immigration debate in Congress was going to be smooth sailing, a markup this week in the House Judiciary Committee promises a choppier course. Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte has scheduled a markup for the Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement (SAFE) Act—a strict enforcement bill that could change the tenor of discussions. Other topics slated to be covered in hearings this week include: advanced manufacturing, energy priorities and opportunities for small business, STEM education, reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act, health costs and economic recovery in Zimbabwe.
Where do millionaires get their fortunes? Passed down from generation-to-generation through family inheritance? Wrong. A new report from Barclay's examines recent shifts in the creation of wealth and finding that in established economies long-established models of inheritance have given way to entrepreneurial activity as the preeminent source.

I don't get Cody....I think he definitely has a voice...but I don't think he's choosing the right songs for it. His performances are always a bit off for me.
I don't get Cody....I think he definitely has a voice...but I don't think he's choosing the right songs for it. His performances are always a bit off for me.
Most of you are missing the point of the show. You like this person would you pay money to hear them sing? You do not become a star just singing, you need a hit song, and if you sing somebody else's song you get only 10%. The coaches are looking for that next star, so whatever song they give them is to help them win, they are not trying to lose, they are the experts, nobody's perfect.
This is something my roomie talk about a lot when we watch the show. There is a lot of talent on the show but there is little soul to it. I immediately axe a singer if they cannot play a musical instrument [having met several music majors, one cannot major in "voice".] There are plenty of talented singers that should be relegated to musical theatre because they have no soul/emotion behind what they sing. Perfect example is Trevan. He can sing ballads with relative ease, but he has no depth. On the flip side, Melanie has a ton of soul but her singing voice is "limited".
Reckon this is from The Voice UK, but this performance by Bo Bruce is what got me hooked on her. She reminds me a lot of Florence + The Machine. You can feel her emotion in the song despite it not being her own and she can sing too...
All I see is a blank white square,
Yeah, my syntax get's shot to shit late at night...
^much better!
This is good too...
Melanie is basically a wannabe Bo Bruce but lacks any sexual appeal.
wait...how do we know Deborah is a guy? cuz I thought I saw boobs...
De'Borah is not a guy...they showed clips of her when she was younger
The two pretty boys went home [Dez and Colby]! The competition has a purpose!!! I thought that the producers would save Dez so Christina has something to do but kudos to let America vote. Kind of sad that after having her album tank and now this, Christina is hitting new lows all over.
my 2 baby peens gone in one night
I just cant handle this
I still cant believe the producet let him go, because he doesnt want pay Xtina for nothing in 2-3 more weeks until final right?
she can take her early leave now
no coaching, snacking burger and doing promo for Lotus
Christina's team was stacked to the brim with wannabe pop stars and those are a dime a dozen so it's no surprise her team fell. She picked her team horribly and her piss-poor attitude on the show doesn't help either. They are not judges but are coaches/mentors and Christina seems far more interested in herself than her team. Her backhands, in particular to other females on the show is appalling. Also kind of sad when Adam out divas Christina. A lot of people can't wait till she's off the show.
As for Cody, Queen is always a death nail for performers. They are one of those artists you should never touch in a singing competition.
I'm, expecting Trevan and Melanie to go home next week but we shall see.
OMG I'm hooked now on Bo Bruce. I do see the similarity. The problem for me is that when Melanie sings, it always sounds like she's trying to whisper and be all Lindsay Pavao (which got old even the second season).
Kind of sad to see Dez go. You'd think that since he gets the biggest applause he'd still be in.
Christina has looked at bit "off" this season...she has had a few Paula Abdul moments and that is uncomfortable to watch because I like her. I am sorry to see Cody leave...Dez was just OK for me.
So...does Christina still sit on the panel now that she has no team?
i think she will still stay on the panel just to offer her critique and fill a chair, it would look weird with an empty seat between ceelo and blake.
also i think their might be a winner's bonus, to the winning coach, like last season blake had to get maybe an extra half a mil or something cause his person won the show.
christina probly feels like crap she has the worst running of any of the coachs (Joint 3rd in season 1 and 4th in season 2, eliminated in season 3) atl east adam won a season, blake won a season and had a runner up and ceelo had a runner up (my bitch Juliet)
I missed the show last night
not interested in live streaming too
just checking how Xtina looks and then shut it down hahaa
I dunno it felt so weird without Team Xtina on it
I will be even more weird now that Adam has no team either. Melanie should have been gone a while ago so it was a given especially after her poor performance last nite but I was a tad surprised Amanda is going home. I actually liked her, much more than Trevan who can sing but has no personality at all.
IMO, the competition is over and Cassidee will win it all.
it's between Cee lo and Blake all over again just like season 2
I'm so happy that Team Madam went home...I can't stand him. Last night when I saw them go home I was like:
In your face Madam!!
I was happy to see Melanie go, but I was sad that Amanda went along with her.
I'm growing tired of Casssadee. She always sounds so perfect when she executes her notes. I like the renditions of the songs she sings, but I keep wanting something more. But out of everyone left, I want her to win.
These final four are not really very interesting to me. I liked Amanda the best of the final six.
both Team Blake is topping the iTunes
Nicholas too
I can see Trevin goes home
since they will send 1 contestant by this week
I said Trevin should have gone home last week so I am not surprised at all. Also, one does not sing "Wind Beneath My Wings". It's one of those immortalized songs ever since Diana died. Once I heard what he was singing, I knew he was going home regardless of his performance. I would lump it in with the other "black listed" songs for singing competitions. Even, Christina was like: "bitch please, you are not THAT deep."
Oh look, Trevan was eliminated what a shocker
Anyone else think Cass sounds like a dying llama? Fuck, I can't stand her voice. Maybe it's the pitch. Ugh...I tuned in tonight to see how the finals were going to be, but I'm thankful for tuning out way back when.
Thanks guys, I don't even have to tune even the last 5 minutes in
That they didn't castrate and eliminate the one tone asshole of a
Wannabe Trappist Monk/Tibetan llama Lama.
DAMN! I wish we had Ruth Brown...from the UK's Voice...
Calling it tonight...
1. Cassadee Pope
2. Terry McDermott
3. Nicholas David
i agree, i dont see cassadee not winning, shes consitently in the top of itunes, while terry and nicolas havent been, also the judges seem to love her as well.
I was right. A tad anti-climatic but I hope the other 2 get record deals also.
congrats Team Blake
so sad Xtina n Cee Lo go for the next season
The Voice never be the same without them and the original chemistry

Pleated High Low Dress
Style # 206395
Beautiful summer shade, pretty pleats and metallic skinny belt make this bebe high-low dress a new-season essential. Made from a gorgeous lightweight polyester chiffon fabric. Try yours with a pair of strappy sandals and a statement necklace.
- 100% polyester
- Center back to hem: 33" (84 cm)
- Jersey lining
- Hand wash
- Imported
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Pleated High Low Dress
I purchased this dress in a size Small. I really love the simplicity of the dress with it's blousy tank top, and the pleats add an extra element of femine to the dress. The fabric is very light, and the skirt does have a slip to conceal, which is very good. The only couple of things that I did not like about the dress are, 1. the belt was too small and I was barely able to buckle it around my waist, even though the rest of the dress fit perfectly. So I had to find another gold belt to go with it. 2. The hi-lo hem is too long in the back, at least for me being 5'3". I had to take the dress to get that part hemmed. Other than that, this is a really great dress to wear for either a casual outing with gold wedges, or for a more formal affair with heels and dramatic jewelry.

Gorgeous and Classy!
The picture of this dress does not do it justice! However, you must go at least a size down, if not two, because it runs big. This dress is perfect for curvy bodies, it really gives you that "old hollywood," va-va voom feel and is perfect for cocktail hours/work events.
July 8, 2013
Perfect summer dress for dinner or summer weddings
Love the color . I wear a small but ordered a med had shoulder straps altered. Now fits perfect
July 8, 2013
This dress is so beautiful! You have to try it on to really appreciate how the material flows as you walk. What a beautiful dress that can be worn with gold sandals or nude peep-toe pumps. I got so many compliments on this dress and felt so feminine and sexy at the same time. I usually wear xs in Bebe dresses but for this dress I got an xxs and it fits great (just the belt is a little snug). This can easily be worn for work or for an evening out; depending on how you accessorize it. Don't let this one go!
July 7, 2013
Too billowy
I liked this dress, but the top was not fitted enough and was too billowy. The armholes were loose and the neckline to loose as well. I love the idea of the dress, just wish it was more fitted in the top so I felt like my boobs weren't about to fall out. The color is really pretty!
