We are craving a day out shopping! As an online fashion editor, you don't always have time to go out to the shops; instead, we trawl through the online websites searching for the best high street items for your wardrobes.
With the winter collections appearing in the shops, we have all agreed that it's time we had a proper shopping day out! We're not just talking a wander round the shops, buying a few delectable items and then going home- oh no! We are talking about the whole shebang.
Get up early, be on Oxford Street for 9am; coffee in Costa at 11am; more shopping; lunch in M&S Cafe at 1pm; lots more shopping; dinner at Zizzi at 6.30pm; last minute shopping; back to a friend's house to put on our party dresses and finally out to a Spanish club for a super-girly night out!
Sound like something you need too? GO City Girl tells you which high street shops are our favourite and why you should love them too!
Alice: Loves Zara, Mango, Pull &Bear and Forever 21! Why? Because their winter collections are always totally on-trend and the price range is perfect. I particularly love Forever 21, because if you choose the right things, it's great for quality, fashion-forward pieces. Shoes: Aldo is my number one favourite shoe shop. They offer everything from pumps to super high platforms- you can't go wrong!
Natalie:Loves H&M, Next and Miss Selfridge Why? H&M always have new collections coming into the store, and offer a wide variety of winter colours from black to bright orange which makes it a great store to shop in. Next, which has been a no-go for me in past years has finally got a designer who knows what women want, and there are some great pieces to be had! Miss Selfridge is the affordable Topshop and is good for party dresses. Shoes: New Look is where I go for shoes. With extremely reasonable prices and an outstanding shoe collection, it is my haven!
Naomi:Loves Topshop and Charity shops Why? If you want something from a charity shop it means you actually have to go out and get it, so it becomes a shopping day anyway! There are some great pieces in perfect condition, and it is so good when you find something amazing, for something like £4! Topshop, as it always has been, provides everything you could possibly want, and it really suits my style. Shoes: I'm with Alice; Aldo makes good quality, fashion-forward shoes which are reliable and beautiful.
Aby:Loves designer brands! Why? The clothes made by top designer brands are of excellent quality, and you can tell if a dress was expensive because of the way the fabric hangs on the body. I love Hermes and Christian Louboutin. Shoes: Christian Louboutin makes the most comfortable shoes; I have a pair of leopard print shoes boots which are amazing! I also like Zara shoes, but wait for their winter collection because it's always better than their autumn one.
So, if you're stuck in an office or just craving a shopping day out like we are, then head to these shops and create the perfect winter wardrobe.
P.S- Check out the window displays of the big department stores; Selfridges have just unveiled their winter windows and they are an amazing sight to see!

Two ways of examining the gender and age stereotypes of jobs, characteristics of current incumbents and potential suitability, were compared. Female (n = 70) and male (n = 66) college students, predominantly Caucasian ranging in age from 18 to 57 years, provided their gender and age perceptions for 58 jobs. Although the two concepts have not been clearly distinguished in the literature, they are conceptually and (as found here) empirically distinct. The important roles of current incumbents, suitability, and job attribute perceptions for discrimination research are presented.

- Thread: Opinions on these D&G shoes
Although I like some Italian shoes, I'm personally not a fan of that particular pair. I wouldn't buy them even for $275. That said, if the styling is what you're after, I don't see that you have much of a choice.

BRAVE STAR SELVAGE offers custom built, American made selvage denim delivered to your doorstep @ wholesale prices. Read more
BRAVE STAR SELVAGE offers custom built, American made selvage denim delivered to your doorstep @ wholesale prices.
About this project
The story so far...
I have been designing & making premium denim for over 15 years. I love what i do and my reputation for fit & innovation comes from experience, hard work and passion for all things denim, especially selvage denim. In fact i'm so passionate about it that i'm reinventing the way people purchase premium denim and how much they pay for it. This is how i'm making it happen.
You build it, we make it!
By creating a digital web based platform that enables you to design & build your own pair of custom, premium selvage jeans from the ground up and have it delivered to your doorstep @ wholesale price. How? Simple.
Cut out the middleman.
Eliminating retail stores from the supply chain enables us to offer high quality, American made denim at significantly lower prices! By making this pivot, the price for a pair of handcrafted selvage denim drops from over $200 to less than $100.
I love the idea, tell me more...
From now on we give you control of the entire creative process - all facets of the design dictated by you! You get to choose the fit, fabric and finish of your custom pair of selvage denim - we let you tell us how you like it. It's these details that set your pair apart from every other selvage jean on the market. Custom built by you. Hand crafted by us!
Core Fits:
For this Kickstarter campaign we are starting with 4 core fits: Skinny; Slim Taper; Slim Straight & True Straight. Model wears a size 32
- Sewn & chain stitched in all the right places on vintage Union Special machines
- A & E core spun poly thread for maximum strength & durability.
- Embroidered star on the right back pocket represents 'Made in California' status.
- Button fly with double prong, donut style buttons. Old style pocket rivet burrs.
- All hardware is made in Kentucky.
- Leather back patches are cut & stamped in Los Angeles & waistband label is woven locally in Los Angeles.
- Every aspect of the production is US made in our own facility in Downtown Los Angeles.
Core Fabric:
Our 4 core fits will available in a 13oz American sanforized red selvage from the White Oak collection by Cone Mills. Cone Mills is the oldest working mill in the world and have pioneered many of the spinning, weaving and dyeing techniques that make selvage so desirable. These techniques are still in use today by most of the worlds best selvage mills.
Limited Edition Fabrics:
Even though Cone are the originators of all things selvage, there is plenty of amazing fabric coming out of Japan. These are typically more expensive and available in limited quantities which make them more desirable to some collectors and perfect for our limited edition rewards. Available in the pledges to the right >
Please click on this link to see all of the fabric availabilities
Size me up!
All fits are available in sizes 28 – 34, 35 & 36. All inseams are 34 inch across the board. We will contact you for your size after the Kickstarter campaign closes via email so watch your inbox! View specs for all sizes here.
I'm all in, where can I sign up?
To get this project kickstarted, check out our reward levels on the right. Our $20 000 goal will fund a first rate digital platform that will enable you to build your own pair of custom selvage denim.
Anything above and beyond our funding level will speed the process of adding new & exclusive fabrics, more fits & a larger palette of finishes to the digital platform.
Don't keep us a secret!
The best way for us to reinvent this industry is reliant on your partnership starting with this kickstarter campaign. If you are genuinely pumped about what we are doing and would value a digital web platform for custom built selvage then give us a shout out - whether its via your social network, selvage forum or word of mouth. If you want to contact us directly please email us @ email@example.com
What's so special about selvage denim?
What makes selvage denim unique and more expensive than regular denim is the fact that it is made on traditional shuttle looms rather than modern projectile looms. These old shuttle looms produced lots of defects and unevenness in the weave. The irregularities in yarn tensions and lack of precision in controlling the weft yarn spacing created a unique appearance in denim as compared to the consistency produced by modern looms today. The old looms also weave denim very slowly and produce a narrow width denim - 28 - 31 inches wide versus 48 - 60 inches for modern looms - this means it takes twice the amount of fabric to make a pair of jeans using selvage denim woven on an old loom. As a shuttleloom works to weave the denim in one continuous thread, it eventually reaches the end the fabric. In finishing this end, the loom creates the self-edge or selvage of the denim.
For decades, shuttle looms were the primary tool for making jeans in America, until the popularity of denim clothing exploded in the 1950s. To meet demand, manufacturers switched to projectile looms, which were much faster and used less fabric per pair of pants. It was not until the 1980s that Japanese designers saw a niche for selvage denim. Since that time, selvage denim, and the old shuttle loom weaving methods, have regained popularity, and enjoy high demand despite their expensive prices.
Are you for real?
I launched my namesake brand SERFONTAINE with my wife and business partner in 2000 and sold into some of the worlds most exclusive department stores - Barneys New York, Saks 5th Ave, Fred Segal & Isetan Tokyo. We have been featured in many of the major industry and fashion magazines such as Vogue, ELLE, In Style, WWD & Sportswear International. We successfully sold SERFONTAINE in 2009 to the TAL Group, one of the largest apparel companies in Asia.
Selvage Since '04, Made in Los Angeles.
Brave Star Selvage was started as a showcase brand for the Cone Mills White Oak collection that debuted in 2004. I was one of a handful of designers to be invited to access the first selvage denims that rolled off the newly refurbished Draper X shuttle looms @ White Oak. We were stocked @ Fred Segal, Glory Sales & Service, American Classics in London as well as stores in Japan, Germany & Italy. Brave Star was sold along with SERFONTAINE in 2009 but favorable circumstances enabled us to purchase it back in 2012.
When can i expect my jeans to be delivered?
Plan on the first deliveries hitting about 4 weeks after the campaign closes, as promised though we will keep you in the loop every step of the way.
You make some pretty bold claims about your reputation and what you've done, how can I verify who you are?
Please Google Serfontaine and find out about us and our brand(s).
Do you ship Internationally?
Yes, for an additional shipping cost (listed in each pledge reward).
Can I add a core pair to my Limited Edition pledge and vice versa?
Yes, but these will be 2 separate transactions with 2 separate payments.
Risks and challenges
Been there, done that...
With 15 years worth of manufacturing experience under my belt and hundreds of thousands of pairs of jeans designed, produced and delivered during that time, there aren't many challenges that i have not yet encountered – from fabric shortages to less than stellar craftsmanship and late deliveries – its all part of the industry, and to survive you have to be a creative problem solver, improvise when called for and often think outside of the box. After this Kickstarter campaign ends, challenges will most certainly present themselves but I can guarantee that each and every issue will be dealt with immediately and transparently. We will keep you posted each step of the way during the manufacturing process – from cutting through shipping. Communication & customer service is how I've built my reputation in this very tough industry and my team and I continue to live by that philosophy.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
NO, all the jeans available in the pledges are shipped exactly as they appear in the detail pics on the Kickstarter site. The reason for this Kickstarter is to raise funds to enable a fully functioning ecommerce platform that will allow you to build your own customizable pair. We will keep you posted once this project funds as to the progress of the site.
Yes, all of our denims are in their raw state - no rinses, no washes. All fabrics are sanforized - we do not have any unsanforized selvage on this Kickstarter.

I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. During the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me? Because, says the Lord, Sandpeople always ride single-file, to hide their numbers.
Who Wants To Screw My Sister on? I know you're joking, but I want to watch this show.

NBC has a far more lenient definition of "stars" than I do. Here are the "stars" (again, NBC's word, not mine): - actor Dean Cain - The Biggest Loser trainer Dolvett Quince - former two-time WWE Divas Champion Eve Torres - former boxer/TV host Laila Ali - singer/actor Nick Lachey - former Olympic gold medal winning skier Picabo Street - actor/reality show star Terry Crews - outdoorsman/former First Gentleman of Alaska Todd Palin

Southern Gardening: Salvia varieties create colorful, informal feel
Many gardeners try to give their landscape the feel of an informal cottage garden. This garden concept has a loose, flowing feel, kind of like you just let plants grow wherever they happen to pop up in the landscape.
I had a professor way back in college who had a unique cottage garden planting method: He would walk through the landscape and just toss plants over his shoulder. We planted them where they landed. And you know what? His gardens looked awfully good.

Thomas Campbell/USA TODAY SportsTexas A&M WR Mike Evans doesn't have breakaway speed, but at 6-4 he makes an inviting target.
Receiver Mike Evans is leaving Texas A&M, and the redshirt sophomore projects as a first-round pick (Scouts Inc. grade: 90) after catching 151 passes for 2,499 yards and 17 touchdowns over the past two seasons.
At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Evans is an aggressive competitor who excels in 50-50 situations. The former standout high school basketball player boxes out defenders underneath and makes plays with defenders draped over his back. His frame, strength, body control and wide catching radius make him a nightmare matchup in jump ball situations.
That competitiveness shows up in other areas as well. He's fearless working the middle, he's a powerful open-field runner who can break tackles after the catch, and he's an effective blocker who can engulf defensive backs.

10K PLUS club 2013Re: 10K PLUS club 2013I am falling behind a bit this month... Need to get out on the weekends again!!!
Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Done. I just managed to hit the 6k mark last year but I've already done last years total in 5 months. If I keep it up I'll have to bump it up to 20k
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Nice work Team Brisbane, looks like we might get a winter this year?
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013
I'll take cold over wet. And nice one Dimma on getting your 1k badge for the month with over a week to go.
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013I totally agree JC, both my bike and I don't enjoy wet roads.
This month has been a bit of a write off, too much other stuff going down, only got out 14 times
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013My bike and I love wet roads. Its those wooden bridges along the Kedron Brook Bikeway, the new distance markers and the the blind people awareness dots on the pathway at the Roma Street Parklands that we don't like
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013
you should try those awareness dots with a squared rear tyre in the wet...not good.
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013
Still doing huge k's in most of your 14 rides! Had wet, cold and a gusty wind this afternoon, thought that I'd been transported back to Adelaide for a minute Lisa
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Did a quick 173km with 3600m of climbing today and when doing the Mt Glorious descent I came across a few signs saying "Traffic Hazard Ahead". Ended up coming across this at the hairpin. There was hardly any visible skid marks so who ever hit it must have lost their brakes very early on. For those not from the area this is about 1.5km into the 2km downhill run where you lose about 200-300m of elevation very very quickly.
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013I hit 8000 commuting k's on the ride home yesterday, just under 9000 for the year, will go past that next week.
Have given the riding a real good go this year and am surprising myself at how many k's I am doing. Slowly dropping the weight as well. Started the year around the 97 mark and am hoping to get close to 90 by the end of the year, have hit 93 on the scales already, but depending on how much bread/wine/pasta I consume that figure can go close to 96. If I keep up this effort, I may just get my year goal by August. Am struggling with early morning motivation at the moment however
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013I passed 5000 this week. Not too bad considering a few seriously slender weeks... might only get 200 this week including the bunch on Saturday.
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Put in an epic 80-90km this week after 700km the other week. Busted my chain on the roadie the other week going up Clear Mountain and limped around on it for another week and a bit until I could get a new chain but then it kept dropping gears this week with a cool .9 degree of flex (was only .6 ~300km before it went bust the first time) according to my chain checker. On the flatbar I noticed a crack on one of my pedals (just the normal everyday pedals - no spd or anything) from one of the cage bolts so I couldn't ride that until I could pick up some new SPD pedals. The race bike has had issues with the brakes in the rain so when the sun finally made its appearance I thought it would be a good idea to have a clip stack with brand new cleats in the backyard. I kept it up after it started to fall but the seat had now managed to be on the wrong side off the pole and I couldn't get the cleat out so I just slowly fell over still attached to the bike. End result was the frame of the bike slid down one side of the pole with the seat on the other side. It was one of those falls where you feel like there was plenty of time to get off and make a roast before you finally hit the ground.
It seems to mostly be cosmetic with the clear surface coating being damaged but I'll find out next week what the real damage is. Its not the 80-90kph speeds or the 45kph in 20kph hairpins that gets me. It always the walking pace incidents in the front or back yard Not a good week to say the least but walking around with a box full of new bike parts and goodies sort of made up for that today
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Not good on a newish bike Luke. I would be spitting chips.
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Oh, I was kicking myself after. I remember reading something in the warranty that scratching the frame/damage to decals falls under the 1 year category or something. Knowing my luck it probably mentions relating to workmanship
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Finally jumped back on a bike to cross the 7.5km mark and it was certainly a very eventful ride. Heading towards Nundah there was a 3-4 car prang on the Virgina station overpass, got about 100m up the road and there was a cyclist on the ground with people running from their cars so I doubled back to see if I could offer any assistance (he was responsive but it looked like he had a broken/fractured leg at the minimum. There was a nurse there which was very good. The chain rings were split in half which gives an idea how hard he hit the side of the trailer). After the area was secured we started to get the traffic moving so any emergency vehicles could be able to get there by traveling down the bikelane/shoulder and that's when we all noticed that a driver in the traffic had fainted at the wheel. After the police and ambos arrived I left so they could do their job and about a couple hundred metres up the road I got the old overtake you, put the blinkers on and then not turn/come to a complete stop in the middle of the road - even after waving at the silly woman to go she wouldn't turn. Finally got off the road and then enjoyed the rest of my ride along the Kedron Brook bikeway to Nudgee Beach and back.

Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Ouch, that don't sound good at all, hope that the rider will be ok, even if the bike may not be!
Was this heading in or out-bound? Lisa
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013It looked alot worse than others I've come across but it was good to see that he was responsive. Both crashes were on the Northbound run along Sandgate Road through Virginia. The 4 car prang was the normal peak hour bumper to bumper prang and the bike crash was a result of someone heading southbound towards the city cutting across the northbound traffic to enter Prince Street hitting the cyclist going down the hill heading northbound.
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013
Sounds like it might be a fellow BNA member, if it is then he's ok, but bloody lucky! Lisa
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013throw it in the commuting thread luke. someone may know/heard/saw more
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Made it half-way to my goal today, YTD 6044k's, finally making some gains while working in the training rides with the racing
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013well done Lisa. a few big weeks from you lately
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013
Yeah, took me a couple of weeks to recover from BotB, mentally as well as physically Still a long way from reeling you in Lisa
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013Got to 5000km for the year this week...
Cycling goal and weight loss goal firmly under control and in sight... Reward will be a new road bike... Loving my Merida's and working towards adding a Pinarello to the stable... Go go go...
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013
Good stuff, what are the plans for the new bike?? Lisa
Re: 10K PLUS club 2013^^^^ Riding some more kms
I hit 5000 a week ago. Seem to be doing a LOT less riding than expected, between visits to Steve Hogg and misguided attempts at recovery weeks... I think I just need to ride around with the 34 ring and call it recovery lol

The Search For Romanov Money: Romanoff Gold by William Clarke
Clarke describes Imperial Russia vividly and delves into the money trail meticulously.
The first part of this book is the most interesting. Certain images stayed in my mind: beautiful Meriel Buchanan's Russian admirer visiting her in a panic after the Revolution, the Tsar's daughters enjoying their first dances and balls, and the final terrible journey and end of the Royal family. (NB)
Reading how Clarke traced the money of the Romanovs is like reading a detective story, but it becomes a little dry and complicated at times. He does dispel long-held myths about Queen Mary and money and jewels spirited away during the First World War.
This is a book well-worth reading if you enjoy reading about the Romanovs.
NB: Meriel Buchanan was the British Ambassador's daughter.

I was wondering how much money do the pats have left under the cap this year? What the hell are we going to do with it and when?? The damn year is almost over what the hell.
One of the things the Pats can do is change NLTBE bonuses to LTBE bonuses. That would, in essence, use up the cap space and could, potentially, create cap space next year as well.
Seeing how we decided to have miny TC in December, I wouldn't expect them to do anything until the last minute. To many folks being signed and released.
And there may have already been some done, unknown to us (we did do that with a couple $M) with Koppen's new deal. Contracts can be tweaked all the time but unless a reporter gets it we don't know. It's easy to move future salary to an immediate bonus to accelerate the cap hit.
I do not believe that we can switch bonus labels as you suggest. However, there are various other methods. We should all understand that 1) the monies will be pushed into 2007 2) we will likely never know all the details (Miguel will find out what he can and make estiamtes on the rest.
I heard Bob Kraft was stocking the freezer to be ahead of the game for the off-season conditioning program when all of Woicik's special diets are started. Of course John Kraft may be playing the ponies on the side to occupy his time between business meetings...
bla bla bla yeah and i thought they were saving it up to buy Digger44 a new personality... comon lets be serious here.
I am serious little buddy, a guy with my stylish figure always thinks of stocking the freezer first! As for buying Digger a new personality, I've been shopping for one with a little more assertiveness, just to see what's out there with the hope we can get a grant from the Krafts and get Digger more involved in some of the squabbles we get started. He really is just too shy and retiring and I hope to at least match him with your own outgoing and charming style. :singing:
so to prove your point you take part in the horse beating and refresh my "horse-beaten" thread??? get the hell out of here and don't post if you don't like it.
I'm happy to say that Bob Kraft has announced that all unspent salary cap money will go to my non-profit foundation, the National Foundation for the Prevention of Natural Causes. http://www.curenc.org/ Natural Causes claims more lives every year than ALL other diseases COMBINED! Chances are YOU or SOMEONE YOU LOVE will DIE of Natural Causes....yet NO ONE is doing ANYTHING to find a Cure!!!! This Holiday Season, support the National Foundation for the Prevention of Natural Causes (www.CureNC.org) as we seek to STOP this insidiously blatant killer once and for all. YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!!!!
I also have concerns over this money. Past history indicates that most of our good players who become free agents will leave the team. We have a narrow window of about two months to re-sign Graham, Samuel, and TBC. Our other potential free agents are irrelevant.
All I will say to you is..IF you dom't like what this FO is doing..GO follow some loser team like the Cardinals.. you newbie loser!!
Jimke - It would seem that you are behind on happenings. The Pats have alread made offers to Graham and Samuel in an attempt to get them signed. As for TBC. He's not shown me anything worth of dropping big bucks on him. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he went into free agency and got very little in the way of an offer.
Presently we are trying to give some of that money to punters who do not belong in the NFL. Next...the rumor is we are going to sign 20 overweight @400+ lbs young men and hold a biggest loser contest. Player who gets under 350lbs 1st gets to tryout for the team only to get cut and added to the roster on a rotating basis every week. :bricks:
hurray so much money to spend for so many talented players on the free agent list THIS time of year....hahahah

On this day in 2004, Swedish writer Stieg Larsson dies suddenly of a heart attack at age 50, only months after turning in the manuscripts for three crime thrillers—"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl who Played with Fire" and "The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest"—which would later become international best-sellers. Known collectively as the Millennium trilogy, the novels feature the characters Mikael Blomkvist, a middle-aged journalist, and Lisbeth Salander, a young pierced and tattooed computer hacker with a troubled past. Larsson, who never lived to see his books' success, died without a will, setting off a protracted legal battle for the rights to his work.
Larsson was born on August 15, 1954, in the town of Skelleftehamm, in northern Sweden. His parents soon relocated to Stockholm in search of better job opportunities, leaving their son to be raised by his maternal grandparents. Larsson eventually joined his parents and younger brother in Sweden's capital city in the early 1960s. He went on to work as a graphic designer for a Swedish news agency, and later became an investigative journalist who focused on exposing right-wing extremist groups.
In 2002, while vacationing with Eva Gabrielsson, his longtime live-in companion, Larsson began writing what would become the first book in the Millennium series. Over the next two years, he completed three manuscripts for a Swedish publisher. There has been speculation that Gabrielsson, an architect whom Larsson met at an anti-Vietnam rally in Sweden in 1972, helped him with the books; however, the exact nature of her collaboration is unknown. Within months after delivering the manuscripts, Larsson, a heavy smoker and junk food fanatic, died of a massive heart attack after a broken elevator forced him to climb the stairs to his office.
In August 2005, the first Millennium novel was published in Sweden under the title "Man Som Hatar Kvinnor," or "Men Who Hate Women." The English-language version of the book would go by the title "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." In May 2006, "Flickan Som Lekte Med Elden" or "The Girl Who Played with Fire," was published in Sweden, followed one year later by "Luftslottet Som Sprangdes" or "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest." The books were best-sellers in their author's homeland before going on to become a publishing phenomenon and sell millions of copies around the world. Swedish movie versions of the books have been made, and the first English-language Hollywood adaptation is slated for release in late 2011.
Since Larsson died without a will, according to Swedish law, his estate—including the rights to his books--went not to Gabrielsson, his partner of some 30 years, but to his father and younger brother. Gabrielsson has claimed that Larsson was not close to his father and sibling, and a legal battle between the two sides ensued and is ongoing. One thing Gabrielsson does have is Larsson's laptop, which contains several hundred pages of a fourth--and potentially highly valuable--Millennium novel.

A chemical fume hood protects lab workers by venting solvent fumes and other harmful gases out of the laboratory and the indoor room air. Air flows into the cabinet beneath a movable sash at the front, and carries fumes up and out through the vent. Bypass fume hoods have an additional air intake above the sash which minimizes disruption of air flow in the work area due to movements in and out of the hood. Options in chemical fume cabinets now include energy efficient low flow fume hoods and hoods with an outdoor air intake (also known as auxiliary fume hoods) to avoid venting conditioned room air. Chemical fume hoods designed for specialized uses such as working with radioisotopes or perchloric acid are also available. Click here for Ductless Fume Hoods

See Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, include the accounts of Teche Holding Company (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Teche Federal Bank (the "Bank"). The Company's business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011. Certain items related to the financial statements dated September 30, 2011 were reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2012 financial statements. The reclassification had no impact on net income or shareholders' equity.
Basic and diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company.
Following is a summary of the information used in the computation of basic and diluted income per common share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands).
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, net income for determining diluted earnings per share was equivalent to net income. Options to purchase shares that have been excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive (the exercise price is higher than the current market price) amounted to approximately 47,200 and 149,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
ASU –Accounting Standards Update (2011-04), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04, amends Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarified the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changed certain principles in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. ASU 2011-04 was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact to the Company's financial statements and the updated disclosures are included in this Form 10-Q.
ASU-Accounting Standards Update (2011-05), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This Update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this Update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. For nonpublic entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2012, and interim and annual periods thereafter. The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The adoption of this standard did not require additional disclosure.
ASU –Accounting Standards Update (2011-12), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. This amendment effectively defers only those changes that related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income and will be temporary to allow the Board time to re-deliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private, and non-profit entities.
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a nonrecurring basis, such as securities held-to-maturity, loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting, other than temporary impairment accounting or impairments of individual assets.
This is a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. For example, changes in market activity or the addition of new unobservable inputs could, in the Company's judgment, cause a transfer to either a higher or lower level. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012, there were no transfers between levels.
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.
Investment Securities
Securities available for sale are valued at quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by the Company. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets. Securities held to maturity are valued using discounted cash flow models that use assumptions about prepayment speeds, coupon default rates, discount rates and timing and other assumptions that may affect the amounts of cash flows. The Company periodically updates its understanding of the inputs used and compares valuations to an additional third party source.
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value if the impaired loan is collateral-dependent, which is typically derived from appraisals that take into consideration prices in observed transactions involving similar assets and similar locations. Each appraisal is updated on an annual basis, either through a new appraisal or through an internal review process. Other methods used to determine fair value are enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. The fair value of impaired loans that are not collateral dependent would require a measure using a discounted cash flow analysis considered to be a Level 3 input. Fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly, or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2012, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis for nonfinancial assets and liabilities such as foreclosed assets, and other real estate owned measured at fair value for purposes of assessing impairment. A description of the valuation methodologies used for nonfinancial assets measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO"), consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisal, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 3). The fair value of OREO is based on a property's appraised value adjusted at management's discretion to reflect a further decline in the fair value of properties since the time the appraisal analysis was performed. The Company has experienced that appraisals quickly become outdated due to the volatile real-estate environment. The inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO fall within Level 3. At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Gains or losses on sale and generally any subsequent adjustments to the value are recorded as a component of OREO expense.
The following tables present the fair value measurements of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
Cash - For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities – See the discussion in the beginning of Note 5 on the valuation of the fair value of investment securities. Investment securities' fair value equals quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loans - See the discussion in the beginning of Note 5 on the valuation of fair value of impaired loans. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers for the same remaining maturities. No adjustment has been made for illiquidity in the market for loans as there is no active market for many of the Company's loans on which to reasonably base this estimate.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is recorded at cost and is periodically reviewed for impairment. No ready market exists for the FHLB stock. It has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. Cost approximates fair market value based upon the redemption requirements of the FHLB, and this investment is not considered impaired at June 30, 2012. The FHLB of Dallas is still redeeming stock.
Bank Owned Life Insurance- The carrying amounts of bank owned life insurance contracts approximate fair value.
Accrued Interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value.
Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturities certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair value of advances is estimated using rates currently available for advances of similar remaining maturities.
Commitments - The fair value of commitments to extend credit was not significant.
The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011:
The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities available-for-sale are as follows:
The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities held-to-maturity are as follows:
Details concerning available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2012 are as follows:
Details concerning held-to-maturity securities with unrealized losses as of June 30, 2012 are as follows:
Details concerning available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2011 are as follows:
Details concerning held-to-maturity securities with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2011 are as follows:
The Bank had a total of 20 securities classified as held-to-maturity in an unrealized loss position; with total gross unrealized losses of $ 59,000 as of June 30, 2012.
Management of the Company has asserted that they have no intent to sell impaired securities and it is more likely than not that impaired securities will not be required to be sold. These unrealized losses generally result from changes in market interest rates and as a result of the disruption in the existing mortgage securities market due to illiquidity in certain sectors of that market. The unrealized losses associated with investment securities issued by government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) are caused by changes in interest rates and are not considered credit related since the contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by these agencies. GSEs have access to additional capital and liquidity resources from the U.S. Treasury, which indicates that they will be able to honor their guarantees, related to the contractual cash flows of the MBS that they have issued. In the case of securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the securities are fully guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government.
The private label mortgage backed securities and CMOs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. For each private label security, the duration of the impairment, credit support and cash flows were assessed to determine whether the security was temporarily or other than temporarily impaired. Management evaluates the actual mortgage delinquencies, foreclosures, and real estate owned for each security, as well as future expected losses in the underlying mortgage collateral to determine if there is a high probability for expected losses and contractual shortfalls of interest or principal, which could warrant further recognition of impairment. Based upon such evaluation, it was determined that some securities have been other-than-temporarily impaired and a corresponding charge to earnings for credit related impairment was recognized with the non-credit related impairment recognized in other comprehensive income. There was $128,000 of realized credit losses in the private label securities portfolio for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012. In the performance of cash flow analysis on private label securities, management determined impaired securities with non-credit losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income had additional credit losses. Accordingly, management reclassified previous non-credit losses in the amount of $93,000 from other comprehensive income into earnings for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012. All private label securities with no other than temporary impairment have been determined to have sufficient credit support and cash flows to recover the amortized cost of the related securities.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2012, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of held-to-maturity securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2012, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.
There were no impairment losses in the equity securities portfolio for the nine months ended June 30, 2012. Management will continue to monitor the equity securities and make an impairment adjustment if deemed necessary based upon the prospects for recovery and the duration and severity of the unrealized losses.
The following table presents a roll-forward of the amount of credit losses on the Bank's investment securities recognized in earnings for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 (in thousands).
The assumptions used to estimate credit related losses are based on estimates obtained from third parties and cash flow projections. The assumptions used to determine the cash flows were based on estimates of loss severity, credit default, and prepayment speeds developed from third party servicers' reports.
Loans Receivable
Loans receivable are summarized as follows:
Residential real estate loans increased $41.5 million mainly due to originations of 15 year term conforming one-to-four family mortgage loans. Commercial real estate loans increased $9.4 million mainly due to four new large commercial real estate loans that total $8.9 million at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012 approximately $289.3 million of loans receivable were pledged as collateral securing advances from the FHLB.
At June 30, 2012 the Company was in an asset sensitive position. Generally, an asset sensitive position will result in enhanced earnings in a rising interest rate environment and declining earnings in a falling interest rate environment because larger volumes of assets than liabilities will reprice. Conversely, a liability sensitive position will be detrimental to earnings in a rising interest rate environment and will enhance earnings in a falling interest rate environment. In the current operating environment, the Company is biased toward rising market interest rates and the timing of such increases, if any, is unknown. With the increase in the Company's portfolio of conforming one-to-four family fixed interest rate loans at historically low market interest rates, the future sale of a portion of this portfolio could be a possibility and in keeping with one of the methods used by the Company to manage interest rate risk in the past. There is no present intent to sell these loans, however.
Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:
Non-accrual loans at both June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was approximately $10.1 million. The Company had total impaired loans of approximately $9.3 million and $8.7 million at June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Specific reserves allocated to impaired loans totaled zero and $548 thousand as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Impaired loans totaling approximately $9.3 million and $2.6 million had no specific reserves allocated as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Recorded Investment in Loans as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.
The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management's best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance is the amount, in the judgment of management, necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The methodology is based on the Bank's historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade, specific homogeneous risk pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for current events and conditions. The Company's process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, potential problem loans, and criticized loans and net charge-offs, among other factors. The provision for loan losses also reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period. In other words, the amount of the provision reflects not only the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to newly identified criticized loans, but it also reflects actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan class.
The table below provides an allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses by loan type; however, allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories:

Ten takeaways from Futures Game
Which prospects' potential excited scouts most Sunday in Minnesota?
The Futures Game has come and gone, and while the overall game wasn't anything terribly exciting -- the U.S. team won 3-2 -- there were an awful lot of talented players at Target Field on Sunday night that had both fans and scouts alike abuzz.
"It was a good day," an NL East scout said. "People talk about the lack of offensive stars in baseball right now, but if you watched today, you know there's some really good offensive talent on the way. And of course the pitching, but we've really grown used to seeing that at these games. The exhibition itself isn't a great scouting look, but there was certainly an awful lot of quality things to see. It certainly wasn't a wasted trip."
Here's a look at the 10 things scouts were buzzing about at the conclusion of the 2014 Futures Game:

Cheesy Baked Pasta with Sweet Potatoes and Radicchio
This indulgent recipe, adapted from star chef Suzanne Goin's 2013 A.O.C. Cookbook, combines thick, tubular torchio pasta with a cheesy sauce, sweet potato chunks, radicchio slices, pecans and even more cheese.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons thyme leaves
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound torchio or rigatoni
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded packed imported Fontina cheese (5 ounces)
- 1 pound Cantal cheese or other Swiss-style cheese—3/4 pound cut into 1-inch cubes, 1/4 pound shredded
- 3/4 cup packed freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 large head of radicchio, sliced 1 inch thick
- 3/4 teaspoon minced rosemary
- 4 ounces pecans, chopped (3/4 cup)
- Slivered flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. On a baking sheet, toss the sweet potatoes with 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the thyme and 1 teaspoon of salt; season with pepper. Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until almost al dente, 5 minutes for torchio and 10 minutes for rigatoni. Drain, rinse under cold water and return to the pot.
- In a small saucepan, bring the milk just to a simmer. In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the flour and cook over moderately low heat, whisking frequently, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the hot milk in 3 additions until incorporated. Cook over moderate heat, whisking often, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the Fontina, the shredded Cantal, 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano and the nutmeg until the cheeses are melted. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Stir the cheese sauce into the pasta.
- In a medium bowl, toss the radicchio with the rosemary, the remaining olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Season with pepper and toss, then add to the pasta and mix well. Spread half of the pasta in the prepared baking dish. Tuck in half each of the sweet potatoes, cubed Cantal and pecans. Repeat with the remaining pasta, sweet potatoes, Cantal and pecans. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmigiano on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 10 minutes longer, until the cheese is melted and the pasta is tender. Let the baked pasta stand for 15 minutes. Garnish with the slivered parsley and serve.
Suggested Pairing
To balance the dish's heaviness, try a tangy Pinot Grigio or a lean, red-fruited wine from Sicily's Mount Etna.
