Classic Allure Invites
Classic Allure Tea-length Invitations I love this site! It's pretty user-friendly and they ensure you are getting exactly what you want by requesting you approve your design twice. It's a good thing they did that because had they not asked we approve the design before they processed the order, we would have had guests showing up for the ceremony an hour early!! We are extremely happy with the products we ordered and highly recommend Magnet Street!
truly happy with the detail
Classic Allure Tea-length Invitations Everyone loves the invites. Telling all my friends about this site. Couldn't be any happier.
Chocolate Card
Floral Ornament Tea-length Invitations I just love my beautiful chocolate pink and kiwi green invitations they really turned out to be wonderful. This site is really worth every penny you put in to it... Excellent Work..
Floral Ornament Tea-length Invitations Number one I have to say I bought the save the dates and my invitations from magnetstreet. I absolutely love both, not to mention the discounts I received. The design was so easy to alter in a way that made it personal for me. The best thing of all was the phone call I got from Andrea when one of the colors I had chosen was illegible. That was great that someone really cared instead of sending me a bunch of invitations no one could read they let me know so we could make some changes and they are great.
Wedding Invitation
Floral Ornament Tea-length Invitations Everything about the invitation/rsvp's is great except, be very careful when choosing your COLOR!!!! I chose what I thought was my color and it ended up being ALOT darker than what I expected. Other than that its excellent.

In Joomla! 1.7 and newer,
JRequest has been superseded by
JInput. See Retrieving request data using JInput.
When writing any web application, it is crucial that you filter input data before using it. Joomla! provides a filtering library to help you accomplish this.
You can access the filtered request data using the
JRequest class. Even though PHP allows you to access the data from the request using the superglobal arrays
$_POST and
$_REQUEST, it is highly recommended to use
JRequest instead of these superglobals. By using
JRequest properly, you make sure that the data has the right format and its default value makes sense. This can prevent serious security holes such as SQL injection vulnerabilities.
To retrieve GET/POST request data, Joomla! uses the getVar method of the JRequest class (JRequest::getVar()).
Retrieving Data
If you have a form variable named 'address', you would want to use this code to get it:
$address = JRequest::getVar('address');
Unless other parameters are set, all HTML and trailing whitespace will be filtered out.
The DEFAULT Parameter
If you want to specify a default value in the event that 'address' is not in the request or is unset, use this code:
$address = JRequest::getVar('address', 'Address is empty'); echo $address; // Address is empty
The SOURCE Parameter
Frequently, you will expect your variable to be found in a specific portion of the HTTP request (POST, GET, etc...). If this is the case, you should specify which portion; this will slightly increase your extension's security. If you expect 'address' to only be in POST, use this code to enforce that:
$address = JRequest::getVar('address', 'default value goes here', 'post');
The VARIABLE TYPE Parameter
The fourth parameter of getVar() can be used to specify certain filters to force validation of specific value types for the variable.
$address = JRequest::getVar('address', 'default value goes here', 'post','variable type');
Here is a list of types you can validate:
The FILTER MASK Parameter
Finally, there are some mask constants you can pass in as the fifth parameter that allow you to bypass portions of the filtering:
$address = JRequest::getVar('address', 'default value goes here', 'post','validation type',mask type);
Note. These are static variables not strings. Do not use quotes around them
To receive a whole array filtered. If you would want to get the POST data, you can use this.
JRequest::get( 'post' )
This returns the standard POST array. You can use it on a template page if needed, or in the models section if convenient. It returns the most recent POST. Methods of this object were not found in the Framework section where one would expect to find them.

The town of Destin resides on the Florida's panhandle on a barrier island overlooking the crystal waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It is a popular destination among tourists, and welcomes more than three million visitors annually. The town boasts a wide selection of great activities and attractions that allow travelers to take in the serene beauty of this oceanfront community. Destin was named after Captain Leonard Destin who settled in the area during the mid-1800s. It was officially incorporated in 1984, and has since experienced rapid growth as one of the best beachfront destinations in the Sunshine State.
Destin experiences a mild climate throughout the year, and temperatures barely ever drop below the freezing mark. Summers are warm and pleasant, and present guests with sunny conditions to embark upon waterfront activities and other great excursions around the region. Winters are mostly mild, though visitors who travel here during these months might be wise to pack a few warm sweaters on the off chance a brisk wind settles in around twilight.

Some perfect others not-so-perfect
I purchased size 8 1/2 for my wedding renewal and thete ere perfect!!! They were so perfect that I ordered 2 more pairs (black and white). The new ones are too long and does not fit at all!! I am terribly saddened by this because they are just the right height that I need but are too long! I am currently trying to return but if not I will donate them in hopes that someone can wear them and not be a total lost.
Dumas Arkansas
Finally got the pair been waiting for
I have two pairs of these shoes all ready in different colors. I've been waiting for a pair blue shoes. Finally they came along. I love them, they are sexy, and it's just my style of shoes.

Absolutely Sexy looking shoes
I have been looking at these shoes for a long long time, but never purchased them because there seemed to be so many negative reviews. I kept seeing all the models wearing them and they looked so good and very sexy with the ankle strap. So I finally decided just to try them, and figured if I really didn't like them I would return them. So I ordered one pair and was preparing myself for the worst. Then they came, and I put them on right away, and WOW was I pleasantly surprised, they were awesome! I walked around the house with them to see if there was anything wrong with them, not a thing wrong. They fit me perfect and were comfortable too, my husband even commented they were nice looking shoes. I was very excited and couldn't wait to order more in other colors. So I ordered another 4 pair. Now I have 5 pair of these very cute and sexy shoes. I'm glad I gave them a chance, very happy with them!! :)
San Jose, Ca
really nice shoes they compliment the dress suit that I purchased for my wife and the height of the heel wasn`t too tall. will be purchasing from this company again
These shoes are really nice, I like the strap around the ankle!

Ankle Strap Pump in Cheetah
Boo, Hiss!!! Loved the look of this shoe but it is definitely NOT true to size. I ordered my true size of 7 1/2 M. Received an extra narrow shoe that I couldn't even get my foot into. Returned the shoe for a wide size and hoping it is good to go. Also hope it doesn't take forever to get the replacements!
Ashtabula, OH
So So
Not worth the price. Super narrow and pretty cheap looking. The chemical smell of the shoes is just awful. I wouldn't suggest.
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Good Buy
Very happy with this purchase. I bought them in black and red for work and I am able to wear them all day without a problem. They are comfortable enough for my foot because I wear size 10W. The ankle strap is a nice addition. I will re-buy these again in more colors.
New York, NY
A Waste of Money
I was really looking forward to getting these shoes since they look great online. As soon as I opened the boxes (I got two pairs...which was another mistake I made, I was assaulted by the very strong foul odor emanating from the shoes. The shoes are very comfortable to wear. I give them that, but the shoes are unnecessarily too long. Like one reviewer said, about one and a half inches too long. If you have feet like mine, skinny and long, adding another one and a half inches just makes me look really like a freak. It is not worth returning them since Chadwicks charge restocking fee and some. They are in the donation bin.
CRAZY Narrow
They are lovely shoes. I normally wear 8 1/2 W, ordered 9 W just to be safe. These things weren't just snug, I couldn't even get my feet into them. They were nothing like a standard wide shoe.
Silicon Valley, CA
too big
I bought 2 pair of these shoes, in 2 different color, I wear a size 8, the shoes were too big and the boxes the shoes came in were all broken up, don't understand what happen to the boxes. I will return the shoes back for a 7 and half, hope when I get the new size they fit. I really like these shoes
queens ny
I wear 8 1/2 regular or 8 wide, the shoes are a little tight and 1 1/2 inch longer than needed. I'm returning them.
Lisa May
North Carolina
love the shoes
omg!!!! I love these shoes, I wish they can come back on sale like when I bought them, need more pairs especially the red ones, I went on a trip and when I got back home I noticed I must of dropped one of my shoes and I still have that one shoe in hopes that I can find that exact shoe at another store but no....when I bought them they had a deal 2 pairs for less then what they are now...love the shoes I get a lot of nice compliments...
south gate, ca
Chic and Comfortable
I own three pairs of these shoes. I love the sexy look, yet the height of the heel is comfortable. Another plus is the fact that the sole is suitable for dancing which is not the case with many shoes on the market. A great shoe for a great price.
Three is a Charm
Chicago IL
The Shoe Box is W-A-Y too long!
I can wear either a 9-1/2 Wide or a 10 Wide depending on the shoe. I have ordered both sizes now, thinking that the 9-1/2 would look less long in the toe box, however, it still makes my feet look even that much bigger. Also, the wide is still tight. I sent both pairs back. What a shame! I love the style, the selection of colors, the and more moderate heel.
Erie, PA
Very cute shoes!
I got these shoes in the leopard. They are really cute, and they look great on my foot. I wear a size 10, and they are very flattering on. I want to say that I do have a small bunion on my right foot which causes problems with some shoes. These shoes are very comfortable and roomy, although my right foot is a little swollen all the time. So, that shoe is a little more snug than the left -- but still comfortable! I didn't give them 5 stars because of the material. It's man-made (vinyl probably), but unless you get up close, you can't really tell. I'm keeping them -- and I'll probably order another color!

To go down on a woman is to start her off with nice, long, passionate kisses on the lips, and then down to her neck, and then down to her breasts where you have your pleasure with them, and then you kiss your way across her tummy, and finally, you have ultimate pleasure with orally pleasing her pussy.

Series 40 UX checklist webinar - companion article
This article is companion for the UX Checklist for Series 40 Full Touch webinars to be held in October and November 2012. It covers both sessions: 31st October 2012 and 1st November 2012.
Series 40
This webinar provides pointers you can use to perform a basic user experience (UX) check of your Series 40 full-touch app, even if you have no formal experience in UX design. In it we review a list of some of the worst UX mistakes that we found in real-world app testing, and provide some specific solutions to these problems.
This checklist covers some basic UX mistakes, and is a great starting point if you're not a UI design expert. Check out Series 40 UI design library for more advanced information and resources.
This wiki page is the "companion" to the webinar. It includes:
- Webinar exercises and proposals for how to solve them.
- Open issues from Q/A
- Link to slide deck
- Link to recording
- Webinar announcement
Solutions to webinar problems
This section contains problems raised in the webinar exercises, along with recommended solutions.
A custom view acts as a launchpad screen. Which chrome elements do you add?
There are several possibilities:
- Full custom header without chrome: there is no chance to add neither any primary command nor any options menu. This could work in case the launch-pad view is just putting the user into the right flow, e.g. for a game:
- Start new single player game
- Start new multiple player game
- Resume last game
- Buy items
- Edit online profile
- Help
- About
- Full custom header with one primary action: This works in case there is one first very important action, which the user is usually doing before continuing with any other action or which has to be always available, e.g. the play/pause button of a music player. The launch-pad view allows the user to continue directly with the main use cases.
- A view with predefined chrome, or chrome at the predefined position, it becomes now easy to clean up the launch pad from secondary items, i.e. Help and about might be moved to the Options menu.
The item menu is opened with long press on the item. It contains only commands which directly affect only to the selected item (e.g. delete). It does not contain any commands which could act on multiple items (e.g. delete all). The latter go to the view menu. These are the design rationales for touch devices:
- The focus is implied with the touch down, but not beforehand, so the phone cannot anticipate which item is chosen
- The focus is lost with finger lift, so the phone cannot trace which item was chosen beforehand
- There are just few working interaction pattern which would resolve these issues,
- pointing at the item for longer time (all Nokia touch phones)
- bringing the phone into a selection mode and from there select the item (e.g. Android 4.0 and higher)
How many touchable items can you fit into a full screen layout?
- 4 items in one row in case you obey the minimum touch area. The 5th item does not fully anymore and it might interfere with the scroll bar (which is without function and just for indication purposes). However, it is not recommended to go below 7 mm x 7 mm touch area and 1mm margin. To fill the gaps, rather increase the touch area than squeezing in another item.
- 7 items in a column are fully visible and 1 item is partially visible
- 28 full items
- 32 items the user is aware of
In case of a 5th column, take the back button into account, i.e. 40 – 1 items. However, in that case make sure the context of use allows smaller touch areas (e.g. no thumb use, i.e. the user will operate the phone always with 2 hands) or cover-up with certain techniques, e.g. fish-eye.
Which icon sizes are used in Series 40 full touch?
Is the contrast of these two colors good enough for AAA compliance for text?
- Foreground: 33FFAA
- Background: AAFF33
Please check from here.
Fill the values . Those will result in something like the following image.
Open issues from Q/A
Question: How do I have to scale the printout to match the phone's screen size (to have correct sized images for paper prototypes) ?
Answer: Scale the printout to 46% of the original size.
Future webinars
The next (planned) UX related webinar is:
UI design for monetisation enablers for Series 40 full touch.
How you design and present monetisation interactions requires as much attention to user experience as does the rest of your app. If you use in-app ads or in-app purchasing, this UX webinar is for you. The webinar will walk you through the recommended flows of various monetisation stories in Series 40 full touch. It will also demonstrate common mistakes that developers make and will propose solutions for those problems. As usual for Nokia Developer UX webinars, the presentation will feature exercises that will receive follow-up treatment in a Nokia Developer Wiki article.

I could care less about acceleration. These are weak-ass chips that go with weak-ass cpus and otherwise weak-ass systems. Mode setting is plenty.
Phoronix: A Slew Of Patches For The Intel "GMA500" Driver
At the beginning of the month I mentioned Intel's Alan Cox was working on GMA500 driver improvements, namely to add support for the next-generation Intel Atom processors that will carry PowerVR-derived graphics capabilities, similar to the notorious "Poulsbo" hardware. In the past week, Alan has now published more than 50 patches against the open-source "GMA500" driver that provides basic KMS support for the Intel hardware with graphics IP originating from Imagination Technologies...
I could care less about acceleration. These are weak-ass chips that go with weak-ass cpus and otherwise weak-ass systems. Mode setting is plenty.
Last edited by archibald; 07-12-2011 at 01:24 PM.
If this results in my GMA500 device actually *working at all* then I will be happy. There is no VESA mode for my screen, and it has never actually worked at it's native resolution. I just want to see something on the screen at this point without having to dig around for binary blobs or start compiling stuff - acceleration doesn't matter to me at *all*.
Note that in embedded devices (PowerVR's home domain) the GPU and the display hardware are usually completely separate IPs that could come from different vendors. I don't know anything about GMA500, but the display controller part i.e. the part that scans out frame buffers to screen (the part that is controlled by KMS) could be an intel IP alltogether.
These patches give no indication of *anything* from PowerVR having open source drivers... As I see it this is just the intel parts of GMA500.
looks like Intel is loosing it.
not only:
1) their open source graphic stack is feature-inferior to their closed stack (for Holes-in-the-walls® OS)
2) they do no efforts and have no plans to migrate to advanced open source tech (Gallium)
3) their "low-power solutions" (Atoms) are crap compared to ARM and only reason they are popular at all is that Holes-in-the-walls® OS and most of software for it do not run on ARM and even x86_64.
but now:
4) looks like they ditching any plans for their own GPUs for their own "low-power solutions"
5) stuffing up proprietary and highly restricted chips of the third party on their "low-power solutions" instead
6) reading support for those even more half-assed than even their "obsolete" GPUs could ever [don't] have.
(recently people brought me a laptop with "GM45" which would disable its backlight with KMS and stay dark and completely unusable. i made a hack resetting 'F4.B' value to zero every 10 seconds so owner could use it somehow but that's completely fucked up. and that's not counting that old Intel chips 'acceleration' is completely worthless and buggy too)
so, if you are not a Holes-in-the-walls® OS user, you have no reason to buy Intel's future "low-power solutions" and everything based on them and quite an opposite - plenty to stay the fuck away.
damn, i wish the times when you could buy an ARM-based laptop not restricted as Nvidia's Tegra bullshit and with complete OSS support would come already :( but for now, i will use AMD-based stuff, thank you very much.
Without open grafic stack arm can be 10 times faster and 10 times more power efficient I wont buy it. And its no alternative against x86 (+64bit).
So how is this going to benefit Poulsbo users? It sounds like Pouslbo has been written off and they are just working on the next generation.
It is possible to make a working system, and it is not that hard. The situation is not ideal, but doable.
I have a Dell Mini 12 running Xubuntu 11.10 Oneiric and using the EMGD driver. I have 2D and 3D acceleration and xv. A patched Mplayer and VAAPI are also expected. With 11.04 all the pieces have been in place for some time. It runs reliably and even the brightness keyboard keys work. It is certainly fast enough to surf the net, watch windowed YouTube videos and even standard res avi in full screen. Libreoffice works fine with no typing lag (at least at the rate I type).
Just do a text install from an alternate install image and then go to https://launchpad.net/~gma500/+archive/emgd-1.8/ and add the PPA and follow the instructions. This work is also ported to Arch Linux.
A test image of Ubuntu 11.10 has also been created with EMGD pre-installed.
Post by Lucazade about half way down with link to test image
A bit more work than a normal install, but a perfectly usable finished product. My Xubuntu also needed an audio fix, the deatils are in the above forum.

Danforth Lectureship Series
Since 1979, the Danforth Lectureship has brought a distinguished chemist to Grinnell each year for a seminar or convocation and interactions with students. The Lectureship honors Joseph D. Danforth, who served on the Grinnell chemistry faculty from 1947-79. After earning his doctorate from Purdue University, Danforth was an industrial research chemist for ten years before joining the Grinnell faculty. During his time at the college he taught and mentored scores of students who have become distinguished students in their own right.

Week 12: Seattle Seahawks At Miami Dolphins
Special Teams
It is rematch time. Last year, the Wisconsin Badgers and Arizona Wildcats met in the Elite Eight and Wisconsin walked away with a 64-63 overtime win.
Coming into the Sweet 16, West Virginia showed confidence that they could be the team that finally knocked off the Kentucky Wildcats.
So much for the weak Pac-12 this year: The Utah Utes are one of three teams from the beleaguered conference to make the Sweet 16 this year, and they'll face the best ACC team left in the tournament: Duke.

IMO the problem is that the docs keep getting big enough that they can't be maintained with the available people/time, and we have to keep cutting them back to the point where they can be kept current and "clean". Docco on "how each piece of code works" should be in the code, not a separate document -- the purpose of the top level doc needs to be more of an architectural introduction.
At first glance the latest book does seem to have the right level of detail, which is really promising (although I guess some would say that's just cause it ain't finished yet ).

BTW, how do you measure community interest in features? Is there a public list/poll/etc somewhere?
With regards to PM and the, apparently, two ways of implementing it, I seem to recall Dave Airlie mentioning to you the issues with atombios. In particular, that atombios was the interface that OSS was supposed to use but that the interface wasn't actually able to achieve the desired results seemingly because it wasn't tested. Again, IIRC, he said they tried banging registers but didn't get as far as they wanted.
Please pardon me if I misremembered this.
The strategy question was pretty simple, unfortunately :
1. Invest a huge pile of $$ and immediately redesign all of our hardware blocks so that programming information could be released safely. Given the added business that would get us relative to the cost of re-engineering all our IP we can call that one "quick death".
2. Release all the information immediately and hope that if/when problems arise we have enough cash to fight or work around them, along with enough other products to keep us going if our GPU sales get impacted. Privately owned companies can do that but publicly-traded companies can't unless they have demonstrably high confidence in their ability to deal with whatever happens.
3. Prioritize the IP and work through each block separately, releasing as much information as appears "safe" (admittedly a difficult determination). For problematic information, look for ways to use the blocks without exposing that information. As time & budget permits, include open source compatibility as a requirement when new hardware blocks are being designed, making it easier to expose programming information in the future.
Note that #3 still involves an element of #2, but you are basically managing technical risk to align with the level of business risk you can afford to take rather than saying "what the heck, I can release everything now and afford the risks".
It might not be obvious, but pretty much everyone in the industry is going with #3 out of necessity, even companies which are big enough that you might think #2 is an option for them. The downside of #3 is that it takes time, although we're fairly far through the process now.

I'm so glad HBO repeats all week. It's hard to take it all in on just one viewing.
My favorite scene was Cersei and Littlefinger. It was interesting visually too, with the overhead viewpoint -- it was like a dance when her guards moved back and turned around. "Power is power." Heh. But it's telling that she needs guards. Second favorite scene was Cersei and Joffrey -- the slap and Cersei's fear. Third favorite was Sansa playing Joffrey like a fiddle and saving that guy's life.
Aiden Gillen's (Littlefinger) voice sounded different. Did anyone else think so? Maybe he had a cold.
I'm curious as to how Robert's bastard children were located. A poorly kept secret -- common knowledge?
Stannis -- he reminds me of the corporate CEO who dots the i's and crosses the t's but doesn't see the big picture.

Wert has a great primer for season 2, if you need a bit of a refresher.
I saw the first episode, but I think I'm going to try and catch it again on HBO tonight as I was a bit dozy the first time around. I thought it was well done, especially the bit with Cersei and Littlefinger.

Episode 1 Thoughts:
1. Tyrion wins.
2. Tony Way was miles better than I expected.
3. Daenerys' horse went down on its left side with its legs to the right. Subsequent scenes showed it on the right with its legs to the left.
4. Really like that wild(er) woman with Brann and Hodor. She's awesome.
5. Lady with lots of fire - Melissandre?
6. Stannis... um... is he Robert's brother? Oh, so he is.
7. Dunno who the Davos bloke is, either.
8. Oh, Honour rears its head in the Baratheon (Right?) house.
9. Old bloke going nuts, obviously up to something. Oh look...
10. "Yer grace" "Yer grace" "Yer grace"
11. Direwolves look okay. A little too CGI, but not bad.
12. Littlefinger = WIN.
13. Knowledge is Power. So, so, so true.
14. Stuff I kinda didn't wholly get 'cos I forgot everything. Just talk of amassing an army. Which one's Renl(e)y?
15. Still hate Joffrey. Wanna punch that little brat in the face.
16. Repeatedly.
17. Without mercy.
18. Don't speak to your mother like that!
19. Lol, he squeaks still!
20. Bloody hell, she's loud.
21. Oh wow. Whoa. What?!
22. Ohhhhhh, I get it now. They're looking for that blacksmith. Why the baby slaughter?
23. Arya!
So, yeah, pretty good I thought, but I kinda hoped Brienne would be in it.
April 2nd, 2012, 04:23 PM #9
The baby slaughter is because all of those kids together form the backbone of Ned, Stannis and Jon Arryn's position that Joffrey is an incest bastard. They were all Robert's bastards and not a one of them had the blonde hair thing happening.
I give the episode 9.5/10. It lost half a point because that girl was very loud.

I enjoyed the episode, but I didn't love it. Too many short, choppy scenes. There's so much information to cover that it's starting to feel like the show is being told in shorthand -- the characters speak a couple vital things and then off to another scene.
This might get me cyber-crucified by the uber-fans, but I think this show needs to cut back the plot with a battleaxe. A great book can get away with some loose sideplots that end up meaning little-to-nothing in the grand scheme, but a mini-series like this suffers when it tries to cover too many bases. Better scriptwriters, imo, would have nixed several of these storylines from the start and focused on those that really mattered.

That said, I really think things are starting to heat up now, I firmly believe S2 is going to top S1 as long as they can keep the story tight.

Had she been a smoker, she might have drawled outs inaudible "hey"s to living history, at her Loyalist lady flicking flint off Richmond light industry, her Patriot the old dame dragging the eff out of a slim. With initiative, or kinder grown daughters, the less inert among them might have said "hi" back, then instead of griping at their grown ones gone back to whiling downtime skimming Founders bios, front-of-stores by a smart set that "dumbwaiter" got hard. But the thing about that was the effort it would take: Effort was for polymaths, tourists. Virginia didn't mother those anymore.
Noreen's own mother had allowed her to stay in C-Dubs for the summer after W&M had given the girl a couple wayward thou for seasonal research. She was, she said, thinking through that threadbare Tidewater cash crop destroying the New World meme, something peripherally involving its legacy in Jefferson not worth explaining. More to the point, she'd hashed through a circumspect enough explanation that the fellowship office got, and olds dug. There when Rockefeller first owned the town, the old-timers were thrilled by her excuse to get native, otherwise glutted by proposals for title-ey rest/most-of-world tomes. They wouldn't read her final product ("culminating practicum"), the both of them knew, which meant she could do whatever she wanted with the money, as long as she did not buy the one type of stuff on the school's tab.
So for the past six weeks Noreen had actually been commuting back and forth between Swem Library and the 'rents' McManse in NoVA to research her senior thesis, which was not really all that much about the T-Jeff but actually a social history of the Legato School. A one-room schoolhouse in Fairfax, Virginia, The Legato School, which as luck would have it is on Route 1-2-3, was devoted to teaching underprivileged children of the Civil War. It had been the topic of a presentation she did for a second grade social studies unit ("Community"), but the gist was good enough for forty-odd pages of distribution requirements as well, narrow yet broad, some kind of shutter system between the Fairfax County Government Center, which wasn't even there anymore mostly, and the Old Dominion of yesteryear. Noreen was a history major, effortful one, even, and the decrepits knew what she knew, that concertedness is next to godliness, not the other thing.
Straight-on view of the visitors' center, peeps ignoring brochures—in her birth year 1.1 million!—she looked to where a man not not dressed like T-Jeff was hanging. The Teej was redlocked, ponderous in mock frippery, but they spoke the same language, real butter cream, Paris bons mots, fluent shit one can't sell in apothecary shops. Maybe they could sneak into the ladies', for she had fond memories of the bathroom there, resting easy in flop spritz and parabens mumbling bot-a-tot so her fams on the pre-pavement wouldn't murmur derisive about her inability to pronounce Botetourt when she got out. Should she finish coming on his hypersexed grave? The saltwater taffy goo at those apothecaries had the best aftertaste, though for dates she preferred the Trellis, which was not for sinners' death via chocolate but uplift by white chocolate balloon.
In said fugue she had half a mind to abandon the enterprise of history, to go for that coffee place outside which she'd two-houred her sedan. It was forever half-empty, and did not even sell the Chowning's Tavern root beer microbrew, but free wi-fi! Last week the owners changed the password, character-numeral-punctuate incomprehensible that one got the sense was saying nice things (Fr3ed0m?), but she could work there. The chalkboard her bumper hit said so, in four-toned rainbow.
That meant drive, though, and Noreen decided she'd rather check her phone.
>Subj: Do you want to be another statistic?
You know, there's a saying on George Washington's grave: "First in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen."
They haven't updated it in a while. Well, here's ours:
First in math.
First in reading.
First in the hearts of your students.
Do you want them to be another statistic?
We want you to found a national movement to teach them to man up.
She scrolled up to look again at the sender, Schlemiel or whoever, no, Drew Spotswood, her most recent guy-with-the-glasses, which is to reduce him to the five-alpha reductase inhibitor he would take within the half-decade. Clear-framed-eyed about American exceptionalism, knockknees obscured by newish Bermuda shorts and prescription propranolol (Pdoc's offering, despite meds rants from his T), he played T.J. ten hours a week for take-out. And she was supposed to meet him for coffee, now! Noreen booked it down DOG Street, her newsfeed a peanut soup.
Drew was a wage-douche with VILF, the name Virginia is for Learners picked up in the mid-two-kayes after some hot stepper some summer nine years back, someone interning for VILF for the name and the ascendant meme, did a mock-up letterhead with it as kind of a joke. VILF was not a joke, but the Founder, descended from Jefferson as it happened, enjoyed it. Name stuck like the swampheat; first family anointed, it stayed on.
Drew had been indoctrinated in the life philosophy of the Founder, Robert Lee Randolph, once a recent graduate of the University of Virginia's McIntire School of Commerce, now a movement builder, the one who thought the name VILF was pretty chill. A decade ago, through his side work at the Miller Center as an undergraduate, Randolph had met the state Secretary of Education, Michael Park, who as Randolph's luck would have it was looking to produce, in child metrics if not in the birthing style.
Park, a boring and ultimately kind of severe man, was then trying to enhance his appeal to the youth of the commonwealth through his nascent relaish with a socially prominent former Olympic gold medalist in swimming, her name not really that big of a deal aside from what her ethnic background contributed to the meme. Like Park himself, girl'd grown up in Burke, and was Korean to boot, albeit Wasian (she hesitated to use hapa; too Chinese). And she had a cute habit of employing Koreatown slang to reach out to the self-possessed self-identified aZn F.O.B. (um, no?) tweens of Alexandria-slash-Annandale, so Park, gobsmacked, was won over, and invited her to make change with him on the regular. Within a couple of weeks they were joined at the .gif, which is what Drew was told to tell everybody in one or another form, or file format.
Park and his wife had once made the cover of one of the big newsweekly things dressed in janitor's uniforms carrying mop and bucket and spilling the bucket onto a blackboard that was falling off a wall of what appeared to be an American classroom, but definitively who really can say. The guy's column in there, what was his name, "American Column," had gotten them on there after running a feature on the two of them called "Park's Progress," the testing miracle that would shock the world. Noreen did not deign to open the cover; knew the gist from Drew and blogs. Bleh. She bought a bottled water and one of the gossip mags because who cares. It was hot and she was waiting. Well, she now wished for obvious reasons (Drew) that she'd cared. Had she cared (movement), there was an apochryphal story in the article about Randolph having walked three or four miles in the dark across train tracks and under a couple tressels to tell Park about his original VILF pitch, which would then get to Park's lady in like exactly the same form, though one could never knew if he was telling the truth. The kids at the Curry School of Ed could not recall having heard anything from Randolph about the evening even though he said he had spent time researching the idea there, run his daily five to seven miles near the overpass there—was there an overpass there?—even though the state recommendation was, what, three to five. And so VILF had become campus shorthand for whatever plagued the morass at all the Virginia schools (public Ivies, please!).
What dogged Drew was confusing to Noreen, her not being too skilled in the ways of quantitative altruism or men. How she had wanted to chat him up about VILF, or anything, unperturbed by a syncopal prodrome! Him seeing her in the sundress she was wearing for him, this pert little San Pelli-green concotion that barred in her rack like a fortress against that impending doom feeling, she didn't even know what, except that she had nothing to say to him, her not even having met up with him yet. He was late. She rechecked her phone.
The "I don't want to be another statistic" E-alerts Drew had developed for VILF with Forward Advertising LLC on the advice of a half-dozen post-undergraduate research analysts at the Hale Consulting Group identified prime Tribe choach from an outreach network the collabo labeled the Actionable Offensive. VILF found their noobs in the peat swamps of the James, where in 1693 plus or minus a late night talk show host and a bunch of character actors and milquetoast major generals a college of knowledge teetered toward equality of outcomes, basic decency. Though somewhat bothered by the E-alert's implication that national greatness impinged on the dregs of the Virginia gentry, Noreen was nothing if not touched that they thought first or second-round of her. Her save children? She dreamed of affiliating with the cause that might stop her restless leg from cramping her sleep, the one Drew would not massage.
With the help of a multivariate spreadsheet Drew had developed, they had assessed who she was and determined her to be one of the Tribe personalities. VILF knew, for example, that Noreen was feeling kind of lame this summer, of which they had made note in their internal rubric on community engagement. Usually she would surfeit this laziness into extra dressing trapezoids at the Cheese Shop, but their invective, were she to join up, might give her higher purpose. Maybe somebody had told her about her thesis? She didn't even know if Drew knew about it, based on what she eavesdropped in the Square on his friends who were VILF internship alums in between not-talkings to them.
Drew, text: omg so sorry! i can't make it after all – rain check? ;)
Her back: yeahhhh sure oh, ok! we'll e-mail
Drew: cool! Talk soon?
Again: yeah ya have a good one
She drove home, not home home, but placeholder home.
The rents maintained a second vacation house on the outskirts of Newtown, which didn't exist in Williamsburg she knew growing up, but whatevs. Her family had summered there ever since summering was not exactly a "thing" in the NoVA planned community where her family had squatted up past two decades. Eventually gates would become a thing, though, and a bunch of rejuvenant stuff popping on the outskirts of Newtown around the fences, some like megachurches and unobtrusive megaparagovernmental institutions, sold them on the purchase. But they regretted it, it being a real slog for her parents to make the three-hour-ish drive if they didn't have any obligation to attend some fundraising event. They would sublet the home to Noreen and her rentier bffs, who could then invite over their friends for sick winetastings and slumber ragers that at least had the patina of adulthood, as long as anybody didn't get hurt, O.K.?
Stanchion at the entrance was Monsieur Cochon, the ceramic pig accessory Mom had bought years before from the Pottery Factory in Toano, out past the outlets. Actually she had bought them at a housewares store in NoVA, but the Pottery Factory was less pretentious to say: Other place was called Persnickety or some such, local competitor to Williams-Sonoma before people knew what home implements were. This li'l piggy was a pallid number, an idea they had gotten from a richass friend of the family before Noreen was old enough to be social and considered her friends her parents' friends. Per the usu, the piggie blackboard held Mom's latest salvo for the illiterati:
*Welcome home, Noreen! #summervacay*
They had taken to loving each other in hashtags about a year earlier, around the time the mom got a laptop of some import. The purchase had been somewhat of a boon for Mom, who was now predisposed to using it in front of the couch between the cable news reruns they would wino through in the family room when papa was away. When she could not love her reen-bean in person, she would commemorate her with the Cakebread on the fifty-five degree shelf in the fridge.
Mom: did you get there aight?
Mom: *alright
Mom: *all right (autocorrect sry)
Back in one of the three and a half quarter bathrooms, Noreen looked into it, not texting her back, budding alkie eyes a slow burn under the palpebrae, fluttering prebags souring. Her face was getting fat. It's like she couldn't even describe it. Look at it. Hear the crepitus in her neck and her shoulder when she gets up from where she's sitting. Look at its fat. People wish it was not-fat like the girl she knew who just got engaged but for the likes apparently. He was a cog sci major in college. She did I think biology. Molecular biology, maybe? Evolutionary biology was more for aspiring business writers, and she's vegan. She could respect it if she felt it were an ethical decision, but in her experience vegan is like jargon for trying to hold onto one's fiancé after he unfollows your feelings.
Noreen: sorry had to pee
Mom: you OK in there?
Noreen: yah
Mom: xoxo
Yah bless! By the righteous hand of Mom, the fams had finally set up the wireless. But the phone!
Drew: hey! just got yr email
*Noreen is typing…*
*Noreen is typing…*
Noreen: yeah?
Drew: when can u meet?
Noreen: ummm have to check w/moms re: moving sched
Drew: i thought you didn't have to move this yr
Noreen: summer sitch of it all
Drew: oh right
*Noreen is typing…*
*Boy is typing…*
Noreen: laterz
Laterz with a "z"! The hell? Just -- she was only doing this to avoid talking to him in order to talk to Amina, her upcoming roommate and a friend through the sorority into which Noreen had failed to pledge. Meens, who had ended up as her sort of default companion in college after her friend Heather who she was supposed to room with got off the Columbia waitlist at the last minute and this girl Reyhan in her bedroom triple got to be impossible to live with after Noreen's inadvertent haymaking about how inauthentic her Ethiopian blackness was, had been AWOL much of the summer doing some kind of prebac premed research thing at Georgetown for her med school app. Whatever Amina's problems, she was an amiable champ who forced her out of the house a lot, and she liked that Meens lacked a filter through which to sort her thoughts on Drew, the world:
"You're from D.C.? How is that possible? No one I know even knows you."
The first day Amina had met Noreen she had made a big-ass deal out of that, which led to an argument in front of a bunch of people, and, so, friends, yay! Meens, who had grown up in Potomac, shared with Noreen a certain cultural capital that was actually in abundance at W&M, but they felt as if it were specific to them: Noreen was from NoVA, and Amina from the D.C. that people who were not from D.C. people actually cared about, Drew cared about. In Amina's version of Washington ex-speechwriters for Daniel Patrick Moynihan poked their phones to revise their assistants' drafts of their weekly American columns while their weird-ass kids got pulled out of, she didn't know, soccer games for pouting too hard. Amina's mom, for one, used to be an economics professor at M.I.T., her finger on the waterhammer pulse of the global drop-off in her current gig at the Federal Reserve. Amina's mom was really into cooking and spent almost none of her time at home talking about work. They were from Potomac, and they commuted to Anacostia to tutor, which is good of them because it's actually really hard to get there via Georgetown from the Metro.
So Noreen guessed it was Amina's bright idea to waste her residual Drew-energy with a balls-out final weekend trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg:
Noreen: pleeeeeease it's gonna be soooooo crowded
Amina: come ONNNNNN
Noreen: but it's so gd hot
Amina: escape from pompeii/roman rapids/log flume question mark?
Amina: we can park in the france lot
Noreen: NO FRANCE LOT
If we do that we have to get on that tram thing that goes like 4.5 mph
Amina: : (
Noreen: emojis are hell of wack
This is such bullshit
Stop being such a bitch
Noreen: …
Amina: WERE GOING ALRIGHT
Noreen: aight
I hate you
Amina: byeeeeee
Ok ill text u tom
And they were off, Meens the "Shall we?" to Noreen's resigned "We shall!" Through they went, through colonial town, brickwork of patriots behind them as they pursued the Historic Triangle to its centroid. Road signs all over the place became interstate big, flag big, sort of taking over the space where the treespace did not, where the boy ruminations did not. Them over the train-track rickets, them having remembered themselves away from their own in vitamin D, for the epigenetic insults the 'Burg out of the sun-exposed space was causing them and everyone to accrue. Trend supplements were not in the spray-on sunscreen.
But then they would come out of it, and into the light of the no place that was the France lot, the revanche that would give them the psychic space to forget for a second that they were in school, in love with Drew. Time for them to be kids, just two gals riding the fall of America out a couple G's down, gravitationally, financially, hormonally (for they would soon be fat and jostle). Multigravid and married to corporate lawyers, doctors that made them squirm and miss the future public interest lawyers, public health experts they had sexed and seen dragging on their mid-fall jaunts back to the old stomping grounds to throw their overeducated kids a learning bone in Crim Dell. That would be a fucking life! Kidding! Southeastern August obscures foresight.
What they did know: This parking situation was effing terrible. Already there were the international goons, in the lots, ew, austere Eurotrash in their rented U.S. sedans (they try harder), rental agencies red-white-and-green on the billing and not even with a full tank of gas, which converts to what a gallon? Waste is what. No hybrids, no interest, no going, just distance from the touring district and sixty dollars down the ecological initiative that guides the drain.
Look at these people, in their terrible cars, parking in the way of other terrible people who weren't even wearing clothes even, just walking around the place as if it's somehow okay to wear like a swimsuit without any kind of coverup, glistening through sprayed sunscreen gross. Had they ever known anybody like Noreen's mom, who literally, literally would wear latex gloves in order to apply cream-based formulas onto her, because she did not want to glean over her wedding ring and leech out whatever actual good stuff oiled her hands? That was no country for ex-kids: The Busch Gardens from her childhood was never coming back. Why did one need slum tourism when one had the theme park? Here one could chill with the poors and the have-somes off the grind.
What this BG lacked in artistry it more than made up for in residual Busch Gardens-ness: Powhatan himself had built his confederacy here, built it with his own hands, which thankfully been spared from the maculopapular ravages of the rash from the secondary syph. Over their heads an eagle cawed something cowing, its hot potato yowl a yearn to breathe free of forced flu vaccinations. To the left, a seal with a snub nose, the right an eagle with head popped at thirty degrees, a pompous rhino maybe nose blunt to the front. Wildlife conservation. Noreen and Amina took a picture in front of the sign at the front trying to mimic the animal pose.
"We need a third."
They would not get it and were pushed to the entrance by a family of five digitizing mania.
"Fuck, I paid fifty-whatever dollars for this experience when I could be enjoying my day at Water Country U.S.A."
"You don't have to use language, Meens."
"When did Busch Gardens become a slum? Such a Kings Dominion situation."
"That's libel, dear!"
"For serious!"
"We could've just gone to Virginia Beach."
"Do you think anyone knows who she is anymore?"
Like Pocahontas' journey to relevancy, their Busch Gardens journey began in a post-Tudor village of England, the path to some skyway thing, to, what, Scotland. Loch Ness; plaid tams; horsies. All very Scottish. They crossed the Rhineland into Germany. It was boring. They were hot.
"We need A.C.," one said at the same time as the other one.
They found it in the fake-thatched biergarten of the picnic woods where the runaway children hid from moms. A longtime institution of the park, Das Festhaus was hoppin' with the requisite leftover sauerkraut and stagflated nationalist dreams. It was a unified aesthetic, at one with itself as the one gimmick place with the beer. In the late Seventies the operation had had a beer garden on the brewery tour—Amina's mom had been studying for her PhD in government there at the time—and everyone took part. Then the Williams and Larries wore polos before most of the rest of the state knew how their families made their money, and scornful rubes at the tap would pound flesh for three drink tickets, and sometimes the guys would go back and change their shirts to double up. That was, post-Ford and Carter, their Commonwealth, and these gals were post-that, whatever they were, it was.
As if to conjure up this bounty of non-threads a pigtailed dancing Kraut above them dallied on cobbled shoes with big buckles and Chevy Chase National Lampoon resonance, leder-relevance. In the center platform a euphonium oompahed something meandering, its errant beats a paean to the German chocolate cake behind the bars for people-moving. Meens dismissed the ironclad crowd control around them, flailing toward the food line with such gusto that Noreen, who was in the way, dinged her humerus on the bar. They were third in line, ouch. They were second in line, rub the epicondyle.
"Virginia is so fat," Amina said, subluxing her left shoulder to sic her grip on a house salad with gelled Italian dressing. "I feel like we're marching to the beat of our own deaths." The red onion split.
"Being from Maryland doesn't excuse you from D.C. area memes."
"This is Hampton Roads, motherfucker!" She eyed the sauerkraut.
"Again with the words, Meens!"
"Did I tell you about how I threw out my back last week?"
"Like from lifting the baby?"
"Who, Rohan? No, my supervisor. The resident."
"Yeah. What was his name again?" It was—no, not even worth indulging, again, even for whatever story with which her Drew stories would not, would never compete.
For the past six weeks Amina had been E-mailing Noreen from D.C. pretty much daily about her running thing with this otolaryngology resident who was supervising her research for his supervised project, something about she didn't know, and Noreen was actually kind of unclear on how Amina arrived at her interest in the specialty but for the following:
"I was thinking about optho, then maybe something like ENT, because derm is like terrible and I thought plastics would be a waste of my time-slash-fertility. And for optho and ENT you need research. And ZOMG the hipster ENT surgeon."
Amina, who had been a snoop since she unlocked Noreen's E-mail multiple times when she wasn't in the room when they were both freshmen, looked up his resume on she thought it was maybe Geocities. Angelfire? In his old headshot had this whole cultural Ashkenazi vibe, though he was also really jacked. Did Noreen know there are only like 5 pediatric ENT specialists in the world?
"And this weekend he was in this total nutritional panic studying for his medical boards, just freaking the eff out about depleting his biotin stores by eating too many egg whites. So I was all like "what am I supposed to do with this?" and he said "you can keep it there!" I don't even eat egg whites! ENT NEEDS BACON. So all of the sudden I saw that he had this confectioner's sugar, from when he made me a cake for my birthday… and I could make an AMAZING angel food cake, except then instead of being all white and fluffy and innocent with a daffy raspberry streak I beat too hard into it? So this dense random crap came out of the pan and it was completely awful. I couldn't even cut it, which was the saddest thing ever."
Luckily for the two of 'em, they had better luck with other things that could inflate. So that guy and her, they'd apparently be at each other half the day in a stairwell, the creamy onceover of thrice glorified cement cooling their slacks all adorbs as he went about his biz. The whole shebang would be so covert he'd have to coat her mouth in his palm just to stifle her screams away from the judgment of the peds floor. (Child psych would've been game, def, but that takes all the fun out of it.) What's more indecent, Amina argued, them frotting themselves back into the counterculture or the man on 16-North who shit himself into the afterlife because he can't elicit an antibiotic for C. difficile? That dude inadvertently breeding passive resistance in that plasmid, and they're reproducing like with the foot process, which was why his pet name for her was Amina Amoeba. (Why Amina was not mortified by that naming, Meebs for short, Noreen will never know.) Guy'd back her into a corner; she'd latch his hips to facilitate his ambulation, and he'd drain the reserves like a Foley cath folding in on itself. Foley, Foley, Foley! The urethral meatus insertion is holey. Ugh, wordplay. Amina, already a touch heady IRL, was getting a little bi-pole-y.
The resident, who was meticulous and a savant at head and neck anatomy, did not have these kinds of hands in the OR. Again and again he would assert to her that it was totally okay that he did not have hands, and that Meebs would only need his hands in order to get a residency placement that mattered. A bit skep, she concurred, until she looked over his right shoulder with the assist of a busted kickstand one time when he, just overwhelmed with the thick off the Bovie, just, like, awash in the flesh that sticks to the fascia, out of nowhere was like "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" It hurt so bad. He hurt it so bad. Actually it was his med student who hurt it, and Amina a witness, but he was about ready to cry there for a sec, in the mask, the eye fog, not calmed down, or scrubbed out, or in the ER for blood draw for serologies. It was almost like a relief for Amina to relive the puncture, punctuating his pain, and she did so often.
So that was the guy, huh? Either way he was not worth her, not worth discussing. From the last one Noreen had gotten the sense that Meens was over it—
"Well, in a way, but after a while it was like—it was just so empowering, this feeling like he would do whatever I told him to."
"What did you tell him to do?"
"So I started sending E-mails and texts every night after work being like, 'Yo, you should wear the yellow tie with the French blue chambray tomorrow to clinic.' And he was totally game. Isn't that weird?"
"Um, yeah? Def."
"Did you know in the winter he sometimes wears a tweed coat over his scrubs? Isn't that so cray?"
"But didn't you find that weird, that he kept doing it?"
"Not really."
"Do you ever have that feeling of complete control of another person? I felt like I could, like, fly."
"Can't say that I have."
"Hey, did you know he did VILF? I don't remember if I ever told you that."
Was this namedrop supposed to explain anything about how he had educated himself into fucks-up? He had no common sense, she no sense of history, Meens no sense for the common good, and yet the three of them, all educated, would be buoying this state one day, thinking real globe in the simulation town and country that was the 'Burg. Hello.
"So when's your last day?"
"Next Wednesday, then I move into my new bedroom with half-bathroom on Sorority Court! Yay!"
"You're making sorority people sound awful right now."
"Stop being a terrible person. I have to pee."
There were roller coasters to go on, lest the dome of her bladder suffer blunt trauma and bleed her or seed her peritoneum from within.
And they both went.

Mistral has always been on the fore front of design and development. Pushing constantly into new directions and fields. Making what we have better is what we do every day.
Mistral has always been on the fore front of design and development. Pushing constantly into new directions and fields.
Making what we have better is what we do every day.
Dating back to the Mistral competition from Ernstfried Prade followed by the Naish area and now onto Gianni Valdambrini and Chris Lockwood designs Mistral's "passion to perform" is glowing stronger than ever. For us to perform does not just mean to win but also to deliver the best possible products into the hands of our customers.
To make every Mistral rider perform better and have more fun. That is our motto and our passion. It shines through in our construction and finish of our boards. All boards with a specific construction to make them handle the harsh reality of what we expect every Mistral rider to put them through.
Myself I have been involved in Windsurfing at the very highest level for over 30 years now and for me it is simple, Once a windsurfer always a windsurfer. In the 80's the sport was stronger with a bigger number of entrants into the sport, But today the materials is so much better. The time needed to go from Zero to Hero is in some cases a question of month's where as it used to be forever.
That is the real progress that the sport as a whole has done. Today, Windsurfing remains one of the most dynamic sports there is with boards developed to perfection ranging from the Mistral one design to the latest speed board. To get into windsurfing there have been no better time than now and for you die hard windsurfers like myself.
The time is as good as any to go out and rip it up!!
Have fun,
Anders Bringdal
