tight black skirt
Skirt is a tube skirt, so very form-fitting. The material is quite heavy so not a great summer skirt for just being out and about. Works well for both going out as well as in a business environment.
July 26, 2013
LOVE this skirt/ be careful
I ordered this skirt offline twice and when it got to me the first time it was torn. I think that the stiching is not as thick as it should be. However, this skirt fits like a glove and it is for everyone not just the skinny minnies but also for the vuluptous curvy girls as well. Be mindful that this is a very heavy material so I would not recommend wearing it on a hot day. I love it and hopefully this description helps.. Enjoy
July 25, 2013
Classic & Comfy
This shirt is a must have. I have wore this skirt with a blazer for a more professional look and I have wore this skirt with a cute top to pull off a business casual look. Every woman should own a little black skirt! I'm very satisfied.
June 2, 2013
Love this skirt!
Nice look and good fit. Never disappointed with Forenza, this skirt reaffirms the quality of this line.
May 16, 2013
super cute
Great skirt. I love the fit, look and quality. I got lots of components and felt great in it!

One of the 16 Special Olympics athletes selected for the first-ever, Special Olympics Unity Cup Presented by Coca-Cola is Matthew Millett from South Grafton, Massachusetts, who will be representing the United States.
Special Olympics athlete Matthew Millet posses with the 2010 World Cup United States National Team.
Matt is 31 years old and has been playing soccer since he was only five. He has earned the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to South Africa next week and play in this global, unified soccer match to be played just prior to a 2010 FIFA World Cup™ quarterfinal game in Cape Town Stadium on Saturday, July 3rd. He was surprised with the news during a routine practice with his Special Olympics unified soccer team back in late April, and celebrated with family, friends, Special Olympics Massachusetts executives and representatives from the local professional soccer team, the New England Revolution.
Matt plays fullback and is an exceptionally talented soccer player, but he won the honor to participate not just on skill alone but due to his tremendous character and leadership demonstrated both on and off the field. Matt also serves as an athlete advisor to the Special Olympics Massachusetts Board of Directors. Since receiving the news, Matt also had the incredible opportunity to meet the US Men's National soccer team in Connecticut before they departed for South Africa. He met the star players and coaches and even was able to be a part of a great team photo. After Matt returns from playing soccer at the Unity Cup in South Africa, he will also travel to the 2010 Special Olympics USA National Games in Nebraska next month, proudly playing soccer for his state's team.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.
Today, the Templeton Foundation gave its most prestigious award to my hero, Jean Vanier. For Linda and our children and me, he has also been our retreat leader, our teacher of humility, our guide.

Well, since these benchmarks are mostly about the hardware and the kernel, it's not a big surprise that all perform quite similarly.
It's a pity that openSUSE is not on the test, because it's the only one that enables barriers on the filesystem by default and it would be nice to measure their cost, which in I/O bound tests can be up to 30% in my experience. (There was a recent thread on lkml to enable them by default in ext3, but Andrew Morton was opposing because of these performance cost. I'm not sure how it all ended up, but I saw a commit a couple of days ago to enable them by default in ext4, so in the long run that would be the default anyway).

Same for posting a link to similar shirts. Whether it was an assist or not, probably not a good idea if you don't want anyone to check and see if your shirt meets the same standard.
I don't believe that I ever said that I didn't want to be held up to any standards. I personally do not believe looking for similar shirts is out of line (even though, as I pointed out, I did not in fact do this). But, obviously, your sister did feel this way with her sarcastic response to my completely polite post. I was simply responding to the threat of someone looking up my entries. Please, for all that is holy and good in this world, try to find a similar shirt to either of mine, and I will be the first to ask woot to reject my entries if similar shirts exist elsewhere.
Re: Hawaiizen
If you enjoy this design, please consider my resubmission of it, here.
Re: Mechanical Island
Er, I reallyreally love this one. Very creative and stylized, especially the gears and island. Awesome.
Re: Stranded
I love this one... great job Chad. Looks awesome on the shirt, too. They do allow resubmissions if you're interested. As long as you make enough changes to constitute a new design, and then just re-do the whole submission process with the new one. You're also allowed to delete your entries in case you want to go all-out for the new one. Best of luck!
Re: Hibiscus Dreams
Wow EXCELLENT job, especially for your first submission! Love the rainbow colors and circular design, it's really beautiful. Mind if I ask how you increased you image quality? Mine always seem to come up a bit muddy looking, even though I'm using high quality jpgs. I feel like I'm missing something *giggles*.
Re: Slushed

I'm learning that... that this is tame, I mean. I guess I should have been reading more in the threads; I probably would have stopped there before posting anything. I really can't understand people being mean... I empathize too much with the target. I have no desire to feel that bad all the time. Anyhow, just to be clear, I have no problem with the link to a similar shirt. I was wondering how woot was going to handle rejections in this derby, even before any shirts were posted. I think the topic itself was asking for trouble, since so much as been done already in this area. Anyhow, the underhanded comment I was talking about was one made at the top of the thread. I guess it's one of the ones you didn't see as mean. Again, I have no problem with critiques, nor with posts of shirts people consider similar. I would expect both… I just wish … ahhh, not gonna repeat again, I'm beginning to sound like a broken record.
Re: Luau Tiki Torches
I was taking some "heat" for my fire breather shirt design so I decided to start over. I respect artists rights and don't want to test the boundaries. So, using the same colors, I created the nighttime atmosphere of a Luau. I love the tiki torch as a symbol of summer nights and good times. Hopefully you'll agree. Please vote!

She asked repeatedly for the post of a similar shirt, so I don't see how it is obvious that she thinks it's out of line to look for and or post a link to a similar shirt. I assumed she was saying that she thought her's was as similar to the one posted in her thread as yours is to the ones you can find online (in other words, not very). Since I was reading from that perspective, the only thing I could figure out that you might be talking about was that you thought looking up in the first place was wrong, specially since you made a point of mentioning that you didn't do it. Still wasn't sure tho, which is why I started with if. Thanks for the clarification.
I must've missed out on seeing fire breather, so I'm not sure about all that. But I think this design is beautiful, I love the painted feeling it has, but how realistic the fire came out. Definitely atmospheric, well done!
I like it! Strong and clean design. Cool abstract masks. If the design was printed a bit smaller, it would be more wearable for me.
Re: Tiki Tiki

Re: Tiki USA
@sokowa – thanks so much for your compliments. Coming from such a great artist, it REALLY means a lot to me! Your design is also very beautiful and I hope we can both stay in the fog! @andrewg2 – No way, I have to claim to any certain technique! I posted my process for that reason @earthart – I hadn't thought that people may think that I had used it from a photo and just live-traced it or something (hmmm…damn that would have been soooooo much easier *giggles*). I suppose its good that I posted my layers to show that I'm not a thief Thanks so much for your comments. Good luck with your design as well, I truly love it! @endangeredomega – I too am a pyro Thank you to everyone who has voted so far and for so many nice comments on my thread. I've seen some not-so-nice comments on some other threads and I'm glad my design isn't garnering any I'd probably have to lock myself in the bathroom or something …
Re: eventide
I love sunsets, but I'm wondering if this is on topic. The reeds makes me think of a salt marsh or pond, not a hawaiian luau, Joe. Or a beach near a salt marsh... and we're on the opposite coast from hawaii ;)

gosh mia, where did you get the idea these were reeds? They are grasses. Personally, I've never been in a place as you describe. I saw similar grasses on South Padre Island 30 years ago, I know they abound throughout the Caribbean, and Mexico. and, they grow at the edge of the beach, among the dunes that grow above the high tide lines. not in salt marshes, whatever those are. There are also similar grasses in the Pacific as well, including some that have invaded. This is a scene of a sunset on the waves, nearly but not exactly "moonlight on the waves: just thinking about it is almost enough to carry you out of your cubicle and whisk you away to the South Seas...We're not necessarily looking for anthropological accuracy - just designs that use this visual vocabulary." Generally speaking, if you're at the beach, you don't see the palm trees, looking out over the water- if you see anything other than water and setting sun, you see something like I drew. maybe it isn't 'Anthropological accuracy', but it sure is a beach scene, and evokes the right mood. Thanks for the comment, I know I shouldn't be surprised to see doubtful comments now that my design has started flirting with the edge of the fog, I guess.
Re: E KO ME HAWAI'I ALOHA

Re: Bird of Paradise
Ooooh I like this a lot! I love how the color just makes it pop, great work! gmv!
This is very cool! Although, how many colors is that? If it is only six, could you post a close up so that we can see how the colors blend? It looks like they change which could mean you might have more then six colors - which unfortunately is against derby rules.

Yeah, that has a straight up and down composition, but if you notice he still put in a reverse S shape even though the figure is standing up straight. The shoulders are back, then it flows forward to the belly and then down and back again to the calves and then forward to the figure on the ground. I don't think Mucha would have done a figure completely straight up and down. Not knocking your entry, it's still great, but just a minor critique.

Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed.

Looking forward to seeing
Looking forward to seeing Green Day @ Dreamforce. Thsi special request was posted on their social app:
HI everyone! I have a special request... but first a little background info...
In April of last year I read an article about this 8 year old boy (around my son's age) who was selected to throw his Little League's ceremonial first pitch. Why is this a big deal you ask? Well, because this little boy was diagnosed with leukemia at the young age of 5. For more than two years, the debilitating treatments he received forced him onto the sidelines, and even caused his family to withdraw him from the first grade. Though the process was difficult, his mom said her son remained remarkably strong, taking comfort in listening to his favorite band, Green Day, and often entertaining his doctors at CT Children's Medical Center in Hartford.
Fast forward to about 2 months ago when I ran into his mom at a birthday party both of our son's were attending. Only, I didn't know who she was until we got around to chatting some more and we somehow got into the conversation about her son and how he successfully finished his cancer treatments earlier this year (YAY!). That's when I realized it was her son I had read about in the paper!
In any case, about a month ago she had posted a pic of her son with his Green Day shirt on. I asked her if he liked them and she said their music helped him through his treatments. I told her how it was ironic I was going to see them play at Dreamforce this year when it struck me that I had the opportunity to do something big! I've gone as far as tweeting Green Day asking them how I can get him an autograph but no luck yet :( I will keep trying them until I succeed!!!
That's where I thought about reaching out to the community to see if you awesome folks would be willing to share your favorite pics from the Green Day concert so I can pass them along to Christian. Be creative! Show him your support! He really is a great kid and he is my little hero!
How about an autograph for this young man?
I want to tell you that, this

text: With CRT i could see flickering with 75 hz, disappeared with 85 hz. But as currently TFT are common 60 hz is enough. When you want a completely smooth vsync you should consider only integer divisors to sync. Thats the thing which is problematic with 24/25hz material for example when shown as 60 hz. Therefore for syncing with pal movie 100 hz for pal was my favorite choice - in order to sync 24 and 30 fps perfectly you would even need 120 hz. Thats for movies, back to games: when you update for example every 2nd frame with 30 fps it looks more smooth than when you update every 1.x frames, as without vsync you get the tearing lines due to different content and even without vsync you get update some frames after 2 frames delay and others after 1 frame. With mainly static content that will not be visable, but when you use fast turns you see it, therefore a real gamer needs framerate way over 60 hz in every case.

Sure, let's re-evaluate Ohio's green energy law -- as long as we do it right
Blog Entry:
March 22, 2013 8:41 AM | Author: WILLIAM BOWEN
William M. Bowen is professor of public administration and urban studies at the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University. He's also associate editor of the International Journal of Energy Technology and Policy.
The recently announced plan by state Sen. Bill Seitz, R-Cincinnati, to evaluate SB 221 — the law governing the state's renewable-energy and energy-efficiency mandates — could be an excellent idea.
In my view, if citizens and political leadership throughout Ohio were to call for more public policy evaluations, less money would be wasted on inefficient and ineffective policies and programs. Also, levels of trust in government would be higher, and we as corporate and individual citizens would be richer and happier.
But public policy evaluations are a good idea if, and only if, they are designed thoughtfully and conducted in a transparent, honest, thorough and impartial way.
Best practices for policy evaluation are widely known and taught in graduate programs and courses in public policy throughout the country. They prescribe an explicit, systematic and fact-based approach to the full range of evidence about not only total costs, but total benefits as well as effects on overall efficiency, demand and alternative energy resource provision.
For Sen. Seitz's evaluation to follow best practices, it will have to start by making its purpose and objectives clear and direct. It will explicitly stipulate the full range of standards or expectations written into the policy, and against which the evidence will be evaluated. It then will systematically and impartially gather evidence as to whether the relevant outcomes or effects of the policy have met these standards or expectations.
The initial compliance year for SB 221's phased-in requirements was 2009, so a full evaluation is somewhat premature. It will take longer than this for firms acting in response to the legislation to formulate new plans, assemble capital, select locations, develop supply chains, build industrial plants, and the like. Only once the complete industrial responses to the enacted law have become fully operational will the full benefits become discernable.
Nevertheless, it undoubtedly will be possible to gather a great deal of information and evidence already from similar policies in other states, national statistics, academic research, and consultation with stakeholders.
For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy's Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE) at North Carolina State University can provide a wealth of useful information about the history and effects of similar policies in other states. Also, it will be important to include a thorough review of the growing body of state-of-the-art research about similar policies available in high-quality academic research journals such as
Energy Policy
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews
The Electricity Journal
While a responsible evaluation of SB 221 could bring significant potential benefits for Ohioans, were an evaluation done shoddily — or as a political tactic, or in a biased manner designed to help create a façade of legitimacy for the preconceived positions of those with vested interests in maintaining the status quo — it could do a real disservice and possibly cause considerable harm.
An irresponsible evaluation of SB 221 could, among other things, have the effect of misleading people who are uneducated or misinformed about the policy, causing them to believe in falsehoods.
It could, under the guise of objectivity, effectively prevent the public from knowing the truth about the energy future and circumstances we in Ohio currently face. It could help companies with entrenched interests in the status quo make enormous profits from greedy schemes that disregard the value of public-mindedness, or of the effects on future generations. It could divert time, energy, attention and resources that would otherwise be available for things that are real, such as health care, school funding, and the state budget. And by reinforcing the public's belief that politicians are self-interested and beholden to special interests, it could tend to degenerate and further erode some of the bedrock values upon which our democracy is based.
In principle, the idea of evaluating SB 221 is an excellent if possibly somewhat premature one. But at the same time, I encourage everyone involved to inform themselves about best practices for the design and conduct of policy evaluation, to understand the purpose and objectives of the legislation, and to make sure that its evaluation is intelligently designed, impartially conducted and accurately reported at every step along the way.

Attachmate completed their acquisition of Novell last week and turned the assets into the Novell and SUSE business units. This morning the first signs of changes were announced when over one-hundred employees would be losing their jobs as part of the streamlining process. Later on in the day I was then to first break the news -- a rumor at the time -- via my Twitter feed that all of Mono's developers would be losing their positions...
What a wonderfull news! I don't wish them bad, but I wish Linux all the best, so that's why such news are wonderfull!
I wish all corporate mono pushers die from starving. please.
Wow. It smells in here. The anti-Microsoft zealots have already left their fowl stinch behind.
Are you guys for real? I, for one, liked the option of having a C# compiler on Linux.
While I never liked Mono, most developers where just doing their job and are no .NET fanatics like Icaza.
Does anyone know if the firing is isolated to Mono devs or is Attachmate just completely shutting down all US-bound Linux-related development in order to to focus it on Europe/Germany like Attachmate said it planed to restructure SUSE as separate entity.
If that was the case, other SUSE developers in USA would lose their jobs as well. I'm thinking of Greg KH for example (and seeing him go would be an actual tragedy).
Well, as far as I can tell, the Mono developers make up roughly 30% of the layoffs.
Not 100% sure that means mono will bite the proverbial dust.
From Internet News:
Could just be that German devs will pick it up instead."We have re-established Nuremburg as the headquarters of our SUSE business unit and the prioritization and resourcing of certain development efforts - including Mono - will now be determined by the business unit leaders there,"
Some entity needs to step up and make an honest-to-God implementation of the following:
Well, while I personally would never base my business on Mono based on Microsoft's 'community promise' I always though Mono was just a good thing to have rather than not have. And while Mono hasn't exactly had a major impact on Linux software ecosystem (as likely shown by the problems in making money off Mono support), it offered a measure of platform software interoperability that will likely fade away due to these layoffs.
This is imo a great opportunity for Microsoft to pick up the development of Mono so that C#/.NET is still a viable cross platform solution, that said I doubt it will happen.
I wonder what happens to those who bought into Mono offerings such as this : http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/communi...?tag=mncol;txt
Must be quite a bummer.

Phoronix: Here's A Video Of Unigine OilRush On Linux
Ask and you shall receive. Following yesterday's holiday surprise and this morning's exclusive preview of Unigine OilRush, we now have up an in-game video recording we mad today of this forthcoming real-time strategy game...
It looks like a slideslow. The lag is awful. Is there any way you can do something about the lag, such as lowering the graphics settings?
It would be better to demonstrate the game as how the majority of Linux users will see it.
I believe you would greatly benefit from contacting the Linux Game Cast (http://linuxgamecast.com/), it would even be mutually beneficial.
It is my opinion that their gameplay videos' quality is amazing.
But I'm not sure if this result is for a game that's too demanding (and, right now, experimental), or ffmpeg, hence the "woulds".
I'd like to hear any details regarding this possibility though. Another one is recording through hardware (http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/), instead of software.
I also enjoy seeing that the GNU/linux version of Oil Rig has all post effects, instead of just some of them like Savage 2 (which has good graphics too). I'll probably buy a pre-beta.
With the blackmagic intensity all the encoding is still done via software and is fairly resource heavy. Hauppauge's HD PVR however does hardware encoding and its hardware requirements is fairly light (as well as being linux friendly). Also coming in January is Hauppauge's Colossus card which will use a hardware encoder as well.
the hyper zoom, speed effects are amazing, beautiful graphics.
am intrigued by the gameplay, how do we give order to units and that sort of stuff?
Water can be tough to make look good, so i was wondering how this game would turn out. Looks very nice! Although the oil rig and units looked perhaps a little simplistic, i didn't get too good a look at them though.
Your video is horrible, but the game graphics looks nice. Just no audio and such low FPS makes me uhhg. Difficult to distill what the aim of the game is from such a video. I presume it has something to do with conquering oil-platforms.
I don't think half of the people here even read the article before commenting - of course the video is lagging, it's at highest settings + unoptimized build + 1080p recording.
That said, love the zoom and unit graphics.

When Samantha Wiener was preparing to become a bat mitzvah (a coming of age in the Jewish religion), she asked her guests to make gifts to PHA in honor of her celebration and in memory of her grandmother, who had passed away two years earlier following a battle with PH. As a means to further raise awareness about PH, Samantha chose to display materials about PH and PHA at her reception.
>When asked about her motivation to remember her grandmother in this special way, Samantha said, "It was really sad for me to see my grandmother suffer and I don't want others to have to experience that. I want to see research lead to a cure. My grandma was not diagnosed until shortly before her passing, so I want to support PHA's medical education programs so that more patients will be diagnosed and put on treatment before it's too late. We had never heard of PH before my grandmother was diagnosed. I found PHA on the internet and it provides so many great resources; I wish we knew about PHA when my grandma was still alive."

Could be that Microsoft wants 30% of any sale on Windows 8, regardless of how it was sold.

You don't smoke it. You don't swallow it. All you do is slosh it around your mouth and spit out the brown juices every few seconds. OK, so it actually is pretty disgusting. But so what? After all, it's called smokeless or chewing tobacco. That means you chew and spit it, not smoke it, so it can't be as bad as inhaling tobacco smoke into your lungs, right?
Wrong . . . unfortunately, smokeless doesn't mean harmless. The fact is, chewing tobacco is dangerous, too.
Smokeless tobacco, also called spit tobacco, chewing tobacco, chew, chaw, dip, plug, and probably a few other things, comes in two forms: snuff and chewing tobacco.
Snuff is a fine-grain tobacco that often comes in teabag-like pouches that users "pinch" or "dip" between their lower lip and gum. Chewing tobacco comes in shredded, twisted, or "bricked" tobacco leaves that users put between their cheek and gum.
Whether it's snuff or chewing tobacco, you're supposed to let it sit in your mouth and suck on the tobacco juices, spitting often to get rid of the saliva that builds up. This sucking and chewing allows nicotine, which is a drug you can become addicted to, to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the tissues in your mouth. You don't even need to swallow.
Smokeless tobacco has been around for a long time. Native people of North and South America chewed tobacco, and snorting and chewing snuff was popular in Europe and Scandinavia (the word "snuff" comes from the Scandinavian word "snus").
In the United States, chewing tobacco has long been associated with baseball. Players chewed it to keep their mouths moist, spit it into their gloves to soften them up, and used it to make a "spitball," a special pitch that involved the pitcher dabbing the ball with saliva to cause it to spin off the fingers easily and break sharply. (Spitballs were banned from the sport in 1920.)
By the 1950s, chewing tobacco had fallen out of favor in most of America, so by that time not too many baseball players were spitting big brown gobs all over the infield. Instead of chewing their tobacco, most people were smoking it.
But in the 1970s people became more aware of the dangers of smoking. Thinking it was a safe alternative to lighting up, baseball players started chewing on their tobacco again. Some players even developed the habit of mixing their chewing tobacco with bubble gum and chewing the whole thing. Gross, huh?
These days, you don't find the majority of professional ballplayers with wads of chaw in their cheeks. But lots of guys and girls, athletes or not, still find time for chewing and spitting.
As many as 20% of high school boys and 2% of high school girls use smokeless tobacco, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Of the 12 to 14 million American users, one third are under age 21, and more than half of those developed the habit before they were 13.
Peer pressure is just one of the reasons for starting the habit. Serious users often graduate from brands that deliver less nicotine to stronger ones. With each use, you need a little more of the drug to get the same feeling.
Just like smoking cigarettes, chewing smokeless tobacco can eventually rip apart your body and kill you. It's that simple, really. There's no such thing as a "safe" tobacco product.
Take Bill Tuttle, for example. An outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, the Kansas City Athletics (before they moved to Oakland), and the Minnesota Twins, Tuttle chewed tobacco for most of his career. In fact, a lot of Tuttle's baseball cards over the years pictured him with a cheek bulging with chewing tobacco. Thirty-eight years after the end of his baseball career, Tuttle had a more ominous bulge in his cheek — a huge tumor that was so big that it came through his cheek and extended through his skin. Doctors removed the tumor, along with much of Tuttle's face. Chewing tobacco as a young man had cost him his jawbone, his right cheekbone, a lot of his teeth and gumline, and his taste buds. Cancer caused by his chewing habit finally claimed him in 1998, but Tuttle spent the rest of his life trying to steer young people, as well as grown athletes, away from smokeless tobacco.
Other baseball players have met a similar fate. Even one of the greatest of all time, Babe Ruth, was fond of dipping and chewing tobacco. He died at age 52 of an oropharyngeal tumor, which is a cancerous tumor in the back part of the throat.
But, of course, it isn't just baseball players who regret their choice to start chewing tobacco. According to the CDC, each year about 30,000 Americans learn they have mouth and throat cancers, and nearly 8,000 die of these diseases. Sadly, only about half of people with diagnosed mouth or throat cancer survive more than 5 years.
The more immediate effects can disrupt your social life: bad breath and yellowish-brown stains on your teeth. You'll also get mouth sores (about 70% of spit tobacco users have them).
But it gets a lot more serious than that. Consequences of chewing and spitting tobacco include:
Oral cancer means cancer of the mouth and can happen in the lips, the tongue, the floor of the mouth, the roof of the mouth, the cheeks, or gums. It's been medically proven that long-time use of chewing tobacco can lead to cancer.
But cancer from chewing tobacco doesn't just occur in the mouth. Some of the cancer-causing agents in the tobacco can get into the lining of your stomach, your esophagus, and into your bladder.
If you're a dipper, put some long thought into breaking the habit and quitting now. When you decide to quit, don't do it alone. Tell friends or family and enlist their support.
Strategies for breaking the habit include:
It's tough to quit, but realize that backsliding is common, so don't give up. Your chances of success increase with each try!
