Matt waste from glass separated collection: an eco-sustainable addition for new building materials. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18472414 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Matt waste (MW), a by-product of purification processes of cullet derived from separated glass waste collection, has been studied as filler for self-compacting concrete and as an addition for newly blended cement. Properties of self-compacting concrete compared to reference samples are reported. They include characteristics at the fresh and hardened states, and the compressive strength and porosity of mortar samples that were formulated with increasing amounts of MW to be used as cement replacement (up to 50wt.%). The effects of matt waste are discussed with respect to the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of the resulting new materials. |

Released: May 01st, 1989
Running Time: 74
Director: John Stallion
Company: Video Exclusives
Lynn LeMay, Tony Montana, Holly Daze, Marc Wallice, Tracey Adams, Frankie Leigh, Billy Dee
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Feature
In the days of shot-on-film, this would have been classified as a "loop carrier". A loop carrier is a film with no real plot but just a series of unrelated sex scenes. Maybe a common theme to the segments, but no continuing story. The common theme here is tow guys to a girl. The action is quite standard in the Lynn LeMay and Frankie Leigh episodes, but Holly Daze does get seductive. And Tracey, as lovely as ever, is able to overcome the less than standard performances of Shone Taylor and Billy Dee who should note that "virile" is not pronounced "viral".
One more note: Tony Montana, who normally acts like he has an impacted wisdom tooth, has an excuse here. He appears to have one.

That's Bull!
Denver's Running of the Bulls is both everything and nothing like its Pamplona namesake. To picture it, take Spain's decades-old encierro, subtract the traditional heritage, reimagine it as a two-year-old fundraiser, and replace the bulls with horn-helmeted Rocky Mountain Roller Girls wielding pool noodles and waffle-ball bats. Then run before they hit you.
This bullish-on-Denver concept was inspired by both the Spanish standard and a similarly skewed version in New Orleans called NOLA Bulls. Last year, organizer Niles Emerick and friends pieced the project together during March Madness, gathered permits and sponsors, then watched as approximately 200 people fled down the streets of Highland, pursued by derby's finest — and collected $2,100 for the Tennyson Center for Children in the process. "We can be contributing citizens while still being silly," Emerick says. "It's this fun reinvention of a famous tradition, but also this practical way to raise funds for a valuable community resource."
Organizers expect at least 500 runners and are hoping for $10,000 in donations at this year's 1K run, which starts at 9 a.m. today at 32nd Avenue and Tennyson Street. It costs $25 to sign up, and runners should dress in white with red accents, like their Spanish peers; if they're game for harsher noodle beatings, they should place a bull's-eye on their backs.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Sweetums not a fan of ooey gooey talkie
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I left my latest girlfriend over her menagerie of pets and the baby talk she used with them, which particularly sickened me. When I talked to her about that, she said, "Oh sweetums, you a wee bit jeawous of my widdow birdies and kitties?" Yuck! And that nonsense came from the mouth of a woman in her 30s who manages her own big business.
Why do some grown women, who are businesslike with their employees, talk baby talk like this at home? I think it's sickening. — Couldn't Leave Fast Enough, Elmwood
Dear Couldn't: Animals don't understand a lot of words, but they know from a high baby talk tone that something good is coming up, like food or petting. So, most animals seem to like it, although some cats will squirm away in disgust. Why does this lady do it? She probably started when no one else was around and it provided a feeling of love for her too. She doesn't understand you, as a grownup, might find it repulsive. There's nothing you can do about a baby talker who's so into it she can't even knock it off for five minutes when it's pointed out to her. After that final performance, you were wise to exit stage left.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My husband has an amazing body and is great in bed. He seemed to love sex with me, but all of a sudden, this spring, he doesn't want to do it with me at all. He doesn't seem frustrated about the lack of it, although I am climbing the walls after more than a month of nothing.
About the time he stopped having sex with me, he joined a new co-ed baseball team and seems to be away a lot at practices. He also comes home late from the pub get-togethers after the games, but doesn't smell like booze. He came home once with his hair wet. I asked if they had showered at the field, and he didn't answer. Now his hair is never wet.
Last night I asked him if I could come and watch a game and join them for a beer after. He seemed startled and said a quick and sarcastic, "No! You think we have fans at our level?" Do you think he's cheating? Should I show up at the next game? — Suspicious Wife, Winnipeg
Dear Suspicious: Good luck getting the schedule and the whereabouts of the next game. It sounds like he's up to bat at another woman's house. It's suspicious when a partner who loves sex suddenly doesn't want it with his/her partner any more, and doesn't seem frustrated. He may be getting action somewhere else or he may have contracted a sexually-transmitted infection that needs a course of treatment, so he can't touch you right now. Also, when some people have affairs, they are "'true" to the new paramour by not sleeping with their partners, or they dole out infrequent uninspired maintenance sex to block suspicion.
When he's tired and doesn't have his wits about him, ambush him. Ask him outright if he's got another sex partner, and state the reasons you think so. He may hold the line, or crumble and confess and possibly suggest an end to the marriage, especially if he says he doesn't want any counselling. Be prepared for that possibility by seeing a domestic lawyer right away, and then ask your husband those scary questions.

text: Witness for the Prosecution Isn't it ironic that Agatha Christie's most famous title owes its celebrity not to the play itself (which is almost never staged) but rather to the droll 1957 film version directed by Billy Wilder, who knew how to make mystery fun? As in any Christie whodunit, there are surprises in this account of the murder trial of a young man accused of bludgeoning his patroness. But it's a long wait and a lot of talk before the payoff arrives. Most of the evening is dull stuff, executed by a playwright who knew a lot less about stage structure than she thought she did. Produced by the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis through April 14 at the Loretto-Hilton Center, 130 Edgar Road, Webster Groves. Tickets are $13 to $61 (rush seats available for students and seniors, $8 and $10, respectively, 30 minutes before showtime). Call 314-968-4925 or visit www.repstl.org.

India Lauds Partnering
October 2, 2006
-- Home Textiles Today,New York — The event at the Consulate General of India in New York was billed as an "extraordinary opportunity" for companies and investors to interact with the policymakers of the Indian textile industry. The recent gathering was led by D.P. Singh, Secretary of the Ministry of Textiles; and included presentations by Dr. V.S. Seshadri, Minister (Commercial) of the Embassy of India, Washington, D.C; and Ms. Neelan Deo, Consul General in New York. Secretary Singh agreed to speak with Home Textiles Today contributing editor Brent Felgner. Excerpts from the interview:
HTT: Mr. Secretary, how would you position India in the global textiles marketplace, and the opportunities for doing more business with the United States?
Singh: In terms of the natural strength in the textiles sector, which India enjoys, whether it is natural fibers or in synthetic fibers, I look at the next two to three years as a time when technology will drive the textile industry and which will be characterized by a tremendous cotton and synthetic fiber consumption. It will also be characterized by a highly valued and design-oriented apparel and garment sector.
HTT: What are the market pressures that India must deal with in order to achieve the most effective position it can in the worldwide economy?
Singh: I don't like to call it pressures but more opportunities and challenges. Somehow the global debate in the textiles sector has become an undercurrent of what is happening in China, or what is happening in India. The time has come when all the countries and participants in the global textile trade [should] go beyond their own boundaries and look in terms of opportunities, which can be best met by their most competitive production practices. The world is large enough to take care of everybody.
One doesn't have to be affected by what the other fellow is doing. If he is doing better, am I supposed to be doing badly? I suppose we are in a situation where both can be doing well, and together they can both be useful for the rest of the world.
HTT: Since trade barriers have been lifted, we've been struck by companies from various countries really talking about going to their core competencies and then joint venturing with others in the world — for example, Indian companies partnering more with Chinese firms, as well as U.S. companies, going forward. Is that something that holds greater opportunity?
Singh: I do see it. One part of the joint venture is the technology transfer; another is the modern, up-to-date machinery. Now every country in today's environment need not fund this research de novo. The time has come when every country can partner, and see which is the area they can benefit in the maximum, by taking from outside.
It is better to partner with such companies that can take care of the marketing; which can provide the market intelligence. And, at the same time, the machinery that the U.S. companies are not putting to full use can be [exploited] for relocation, which can be based on the strength of the Indian textile industry, in terms of efficient labor and design capabilities. And added to that the market intelligence and marketing experience of the U.S. companies, it provides a very useful meeting ground for both of them in capital sharing — the investment of capital, along with the investment in opportunities — both can gain from that.
HTT: Months and years before the removal of trade barriers, countries around the world, and in particular, companies in India, were very worried about the impact China would have on world textile markets. With the benefit of hindsight, have any of those fears been realized?
Singh: It's been much less. I was recently in China and in meetings with my counterparts and there was a great reckoning about each of us. But I'm happy to say that while [those concerns] may have been there at one point in time, I see a very healthy environment of cooperation and helping each other and selectively growing in world markets. So at the end of the day it's the consumer who gains.
HTT: What are you hoping to accomplish with presentations such as this one at the consulate?
Singh: The mission of our entire visit is to apprise our friends and colleagues of where our textile industry is — at what stage it is — and where it is aiming to go in the coming years, and how we could be good partners to each of them in this entire roadmap. I think the amount of interest and curiosity is very good. What lies ahead now is more concrete responses.

These manifold shortcomings might recede in importance if After Earth had a compelling protagonist at its center. But it doesn't. The younger Smith is persuasive enough--at times perhaps a bit too persuasive—in his portrayal of an awkward, tentative adolescent, but he is entirely lacking in the big-screen charisma that made his father one of Hollywood's major stars.Reading this, I can't stop wondering what, precisely, Will Smith was thinking. I don't want to parent anybody else's kid, but I am trying to imagine myself at 16, put on a stage before the world, and universally panned. One way to think about this is to consider that Will Smith has basically been on stage since high school. But this is not hip-hop back in 1988, with only a few outlets covering the music. This is you stretched out in the street, and the full weight of the internet leaping on you with both feet. And it happens with the backdrop of your Dad being a mega-star. I don't know. If I were famous, I think I'd hide my kids away somewhere--or break out the blanket like Michael Jackson. On the plus side, Chris says that After Earth is "no worse" than M. Night Shyamalan's last two films.
Indeed, I'm not sure I've ever seen a film in which the text and subtext--both concerning an effortlessly gifted father who presses his less-talented son to follow in his footsteps--were so completely in alignment. Alas, only in one of the two does the story end happily.
After Earth: What Was Will Smith Thinking?
Who subjects their kid to such high-profile panning at such a young age?

Secondly, if anything, one might expect that the big population advantage would show up even more in total medals. A single fantastic athlete can take quite a few golds (Ian Thorpe). It's no wonder why the US tends to especially dominate relays. Also, my understanding is that medals are also, unsurprisingly, correlated with GDP per person as well. Posted April 4, 2007 5:19 PM

It's a given that anyone in the market for a Ferrari is looking to stand out from the crowd. If you are really concerned about the prospect of having to park next to an identical supercar on your next trip to the shops though, you can always go for some extra personalization. Ferrari has long been aware of this dilemma and late last year ramped up its personalization efforts with the launch of the "Tailor Made" program. Professional golfer and renowned snappy-dresser Ian Poulter has just become the first North American recipient of the fruits of this endeavor, taking delivery of a unique, tartan-trimmed Ferrari FF.

Some clever cross-referencing has helped an international team of researchers establish a link between low periods of solar activity and frosty European winters. The Sun's level of magnetic activity follows an 11-year cycle. Peaks in this cycle pose a threat to telecommunications and electricity networks and it's long been suspected that there's a correlation between the opposite end of the cycle and extreme winters in Europe. A lack of historical average temperature data makes it difficult to confirm this link, but scientists have filled the gap by studying the comings and goings of 19th Century riverboats on the Rhine.

If you ever need an example of the exponential rise of technology, look no further than the digital camera. The ability to capture images on an electronic sensor has transformed photography and the way we record life's precious moments (and plenty of the un-precious ones as well) in less than 25 years. So how will we capture our holiday snaps when another two decades have passed? By 2030, will today's spanking new DSLR be as unrecognizable as a box brownie is today? Here's a look at some of the significant innovations and ideas we've encountered in recent times that may hold some clues. Read More
One of the most eagerly awaited runs at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on the weekend was that of the 402bhp (300kW) Infiniti EMERG-E, which appeared as a fully-functional demonstrator for the first time. Read More
Mercedes-owned Fuso is to expand the availability of its newly announced second-generation hybrid Canter truck in Europe. Designed at Daimler's Global Hybrid Center in Japan, the new truck promises an identical driving experience and servicing costs, plus a 25 percent improvement in fuel economy. Read More
If you haven't heard about takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as "broken heart syndrome," you may be surprised to find that one to two percent of people who are initially suspected of having a heart attack are finally discovered to have this increasingly recognized syndrome. New research suggests the condition that temporarily causes heart failure in people who experience severe stress might actually protect the heart from very high levels of adrenaline. Read More

Hare Polish The Tropics are Calling Collection
Hare Polish The Tropics are Calling Collection features five shades inspired by, you guessed it, the tropics. I received about a week ago, and I wanted to wait until today to share them with you, because Hare will be restocking their Etsy shop at 11AM PST today. They will also be launching their fall collection, The Coin Operation (I don't have swatches, but the brand has shared theirs). Hare Polish retails for $10.00 and each bottle contains 0.50 fl. oz. I applied each shade as recommended by Hare (one of the benefits of indie brands!), which I've noted by each shade.
One of the reasons that I really enjoy Hare's polishes is that they're not top coats (or they don't need to be used as such) and can be worn on their own. Most of them tend to have jelly bases, so two to three coats will get you where you need to be–but it depends on how opaque/translucent you want the polish to be. I typically get a week of wear out of Hare's formula with minor tip wear but no chipping. It is, of course, polish loaded with glitter, so removal will be more time-consuming than the average polish. The consistency of these made it easy to apply both thinner and light-medium (in thickness) coats, so three coats didn't feel or look heavy and thick on (with the exception of Washed Ashore, which was a little thicker relative to the others, and Flight of the Flamingos was the tiniest bit thicker but less thick than Washed Ashore).
Neon Palm is described as a "dusty, muted green jelly base brimming with a mix of neon pink and copper glitter in several shapes/sizes." It has a green-tinged gray jelly base with coppery-gold and fuchsia glitters in square and hexagon shapes in both medium, small, and micro sizes. There is a very faint dusting of copper shimmer in the background. I applied two light-medium thick coats (as recommended), and the coverage was semi-opaque with some faint translucency. The glitters dispersed somewhat evenly, but if you want a slightly more uniform look, it could use some minor adjustments from pulling some into place. I couldn't think of anything similar to this shade in my stash.
Dancing Bird of Paradise is described as a "bright cherry red jelly base with a blend of various shapes/sizes of neon pink, satin white, gold glitter, flaky gold shimmer." It's a cool-toned, fuchsia-based red jelly base with larger fuchsia hexagon-shaped glitters, flecks of gold glitter in both smaller micro sizes as well as larger flakes. I applied two light-medium thick coats (as recommended) and had mostly opaque coverage with a faint translucency coming through. Each coat had a good amount of glitter, and I didn't have to push or tug glitter into place, with the exception of one of the larger fuchsia hexagons. It has a lot of smaller-sized glitters, which spread easily across the nail. Hare Polish Leap Light Year has a similar base color (not quite as fuchsia), but the glitter composition is different–you have silver glitters as well as square-shaped glitters. Cult Nails Captivated has larger gold glitter and no large-sized glitter. Zoya Kimmy is more like a frost than a glitter, but it has a similar mix of red/gold, and the red is a bit warmer. See comparison swatches.
Mad Chill is described as a "royal blue jelly base with a mix of various shapes/sizes of neon blue, white and ice blue glitter." It's an icy, navy blue jelly base with brighter, almost cyan-hued, blue glitters in various hexagon (maybe square?) shapes), as well as silvery-white square-shaped glitters. The background is dusted in a fine silver-white micro-shimmer. I applied three thin coats (as recommended), which yielded semi-opaque coverage. The glitters spread evenly across the nail without having to be tugged into place. I couldn't think of any similar shades.
Flight of the Flamingos is described as a "light grey jelly base with those striking neon pink glitters in various shapes/sizes, plus gold glitter and shimmer." It has a cool-toned, beige jelly base with large square- and hexagon-shaped fuchsia glitters, as well as smaller fuchsia glitters, and a lot of paler gold glitter. It had mostly opaque coverage after applying two light-medium thick coats (as recommended). The larger fuchsia glitters could use some maneuvering to ensure they disperse evenly, though I did not find it necessary on all nails, but it did happen on two of the nails. I couldn't think of any similar shades.
Washed Ashore is described as a "peachy pink jelly polish with an ethereal mix of ice blue glitter, purple/blue iridescent glitter and silver shimmer." It's a soft, light-medium peach with hints of pink jelly base with iridescent glitter in square and hexagon shapes (on the smaller side), along with bits of blue and silver glitters. I applied two light-medium thick coats (as recommended). The consistency was just a bit thicker than the other shades. Because of the glitter composition, I also wasn't able to think of possible dupes for this shade!

There are a few things out in the real world that seem to upset individuals for no particular reason whatsoever. There are people who dislike others just because they can't agree on politics, religion, the law, the Constitution or which high school is better.
For example, some see the American Civil Liberties Union as a bunch of wild-eyed liberal lunatics who only protect lesbians and gays, criminals and hate groups. I can see where they get that position, but these same men and women do not seem to know what the ACLU does.
OK, most members, but not all, are liberal, but they all are patriots.
From the national website, the ACLU explains that it is "our nation's guardian of liberty, working daily in courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in this country." This includes First Amendment rights, equal protection and due process and a citizen's right to privacy.
Yes, the ACLU represented Nazis and other hate groups. But these lawsuits also allow the anti-abortion groups to protest outside of Planned Parenthood facilities. The ACLU represents those who want school-sanctioned prayer eliminated, while protecting one's right as an individual to pray in school. It also fights to keep from censoring LGBT websites in the Camdenton R-III school district on school computers, which would allow full access to tea party activist sites.
As a member of the ACLU, I believe it does a lot of good. I do not always agree with the ACLU's position, but its work is, without question, patriotic.
One issue coming up to vote next Saturday at the annual ACLU of Eastern Missouri meeting in St. Louis concerns the survival of the mid-Missouri chapter as a viable group. A proposal made by Executive Director Brenda Jones would strip the chapter from having its own board of directors, thus ending its autonomous status and possibly removing the chapter's right to participate at board meetings. This action would apply to the mid-Missouri chapter, not the student chapters within the ACLU of Eastern Missouri district. This would affect almost 325 members in central Missouri, and only those 325 members.
It is actions such as this that create a greater tiff within an organization. Republican moderates are seeing the same type of action being forced upon them by the conservative activists who now appear to be running the GOP: Get rid of those who do not agree. By any means necessary.
Why does the ACLU of Eastern Missouri chapter want to take this action? Dan Viets, president of the mid-Missouri chapter, said in a May 13 letter that there was no apparent reason. Viets wrote, "That has been no significant disagreement between the Chapter and the Affiliate. …" And if Viets' position is correct, that means the ACLU of Eastern Missouri wants to all but disenfranchise the chapter's 325 members and the mid-Missouri board does not want that to take place.
So what is the action plan? On June 18, the ACLU of Eastern Missouri is having its annual meeting to elect board members and to change the bylaws. The mid-Missouri chapter will be carpooling to St. Louis to attend the meeting. The purpose is two-fold. First, the mid-Missouri chapter has a slate of candidates for the board elections who support the mission of the mid-Missouri chapter to maintain their independence. The second purpose is to defeat the changes in the bylaws removing the chapter's autonomy.
Viets and the members of the mid-Missouri chapter are understandably quite upset and want you to help the ACLU of Mid-Missouri to defeat this attempted demise of the Chapter. Although last Saturday's meeting of the local chapter had about 20 people attend, it is your voice the ACLU of Eastern Missouri needs to hear. Conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats, Libertarians and tea party activists all must speak up.
If you are an ACLU member, please join Dan Viets and others for the ride to St. Louis. If you are not a member, call Brenda Jones in St. Louis and tell her the proposal to remove the chapter's autonomy is wrong. Remember, the constitutional rights the ACLU protects are not limited to liberals, criminals and hate groups, but they are for all – liberals, conservatives, anarchists and moderates alike.

We have a thing for candy… and it just so happens, we have a thing for diamonds too (duh!) So our print designer Jeff, created this jacquard print that combines BOTH! A trick of the eye – those with a sweet tooth might see the candy and those who are sweet on a man in their life might see the diamond ring. Either way, we want it!
See it in the Evie Dress (a customer FAVE!) and the Vanessa Dress.
Up this week for our Store of the Week is a jersey shore favorite – Palm Place of Manasquan! The beautiful beach town of Manasquan is exactly where Lilly Lovers enjoy spending their summers & weekends – it's still Summer at the shore so make plans to visit Palm Place as you enjoy your final days soaking up the sun!!
Come find us! 161 Main Street, Manasquan, NJ 08736 732-223-1655 Store hours: M-S 10-5, Sunday 11-4 (extended seasonal hours during the summer as well!) Find us online and on Facebook
Our Store History: Ted Smith, owner of Palm Place, opened his first store in Shadyside, Pennsylvania back in 2003 when he and his wife, Eileen moved to the Pittsburg area. Turns out, Ted was actually born in Pittsburg many years ago (he said this, I swear we're not calling him old!) but hadn't returned since he was a tot and he was excited to bring the Lilly brand and story westward. Shortly after the Shadyside location opened, another Palm Place opened in Sewickly, PA. Manasquan was actually the 3rd location Ted opened in 2005. Last year, Ted & Eileen made a bittersweet decision to return to their old haunts of the Jersey Shore to be closer to friends & family. (Ted is going to be a first-time grandfather very soon!) As they settled down in New Jersey, they opened their newest location in Princeton!

"Slub" – definitely not the best name we've ever heard for a fabric but boy oh boy, when you give our cotton slub jersey pieces a try, you'll absolutely fall in love! For those of you who like to geek-out about all things fashion, here's a little more info about cotton slub: (and for those of you who already love it & want to know what's available, skip this and read below!!) Cotton slub is a fine jersey combined with slub yarn that creates the ultimate texture for any knit garment. "Slubbed" or nubby yarn is yarn that has soft lumps (areas where the yarn is bunched or wider than it should be) and was initially seen as a defect caused by the automated process of spinning yarn but because of the textures that nubby yarn can create, designers began to create slub yarn purposefully to add interest and texture to garments and upholstery. Best of all, it PRINTS fabulously. (an absolute MUST for Lilly- obv!)
OK, so maybe a little too much detail for you but here's what you really need to know: these pieces are absolutely adorable and completely effortless. Throw on a printed tee (short sleeve, 3/4 sleeve & long sleeve for any weather) and a pair of jeans, accessorize and you'll steal the show without a second take. LOTS of options including the Cassie Dress for those who want to take the drama up a notch!
Cassie Top: now available in Cameo White Thrill of the Chaise and Bright Navy Standing Ovation; available for pre-order in Starry Blue Drama Queen and Bright Navy Heel Yeah Lexi Crew: now available in Bright Navy Standing Ovation, Pink Tomato Standing Ovation, Cameo White Thrill of the Chaise and Multi Big Dress Rehearsal; coming soon in-stores in Starry Blue Drama Queen and Bright Navy Heel Yeah Mandy V-Neck (long sleeve): now available in-stores in Bright Navy Dress Rehearsal and Pink Tomato Standing Ovation; coming soon in-stores in Starry Blue Drama Queen and Bright Navy Heel Yeah Cassie Dress: now available in Cameo White Thrill of the Chaise and Multi Big Dress Rehearsal; coming soon in Bright Navy Heel Yeah The Lexi Crew & the Cassie Top is also be available in True Navy, Hotty Pink, Classic White solids.
So there you have it – a textile lesson that makes perfect fashion sense!
Why, yes – we are shouting that. Shop Prints may well be THE most exciting feature about our newly launched lillypulitzer.com site. And let's be honest, it is very hard to choose just one feature but we do play favorites over here and Shop By Print- yeah, well she's our baby. We'll wait while you take a spin….. [looking at cuticles...ugh...need to cut them... oh wait...someone just commented on my wall post... LOL- you too, Jess...what time is it, anyway...]
So you're back?! You love it, right??? I mean, you all have been asking — FOR-like-EVER for this feature! We knew we had to bring it to you all and it was NUMERO UNO on our list of must haves when we began designing the new website. Be sure to check out the "Inspiration Behind the Print" descriptions and the how a print becomes a print video- so fun! And lastly, we think you'll adore the fact that you can blow up the prints to full screen and find where we've hidden Lilly!
Sure, Lilly prints make a statement all on their own but really, what Lilly girl doesn't looove to accessorize?!
1. Luck be a Lady Necklace 2. Not Just Fringe Necklace 3. Showstopper Cuff in Orchard Pink & True Navy 4. Tusk Tusk Cuff 5. Not Just Fringe Necklace-Small 6. In a Knot Bangle 7. Mini Diva Bangles in Multi, Orchard Pink & True Navy
Last but absolutely, certainly NOT least, we are featuring the 4th of the Pink Palm locations- this time in the lovely college town of Charlottesville! Since we have many former Wahoos in our midst, including our Senior Vice President of Retail, Marketing & Merchandising, we have a special place in our hearts for the ladies of Charlottesville <3. And of course the team at Pink Palm is every bit as fabulous as every customer that walks in the door! We'll let them tell you more about themselves…
Come find us! Barracks Road Shopping Center-North Wing 2136 Barracks Road Charlottesville, VA 22903 (you can't miss our Hotty Pink shutters!) 434.977.0800 Store hours- Monday-Saturday 10-6, Sunday 12-5 Find us online or on Facebook
A little about us… The Pink Palm first opened in Charlottesville in 2004. Lilly lovers all over Central Virginia hunted down our tucked-away location. We have been the go-to boutique for University of Virginia students to find the perfect dress each year for football games and the annual Foxfield Races. After six years, Dave and Lizanne (our owners!) jumped on an opportunity to move to a more visible location. In February 2011, The Pink Palm opened its posh pink doors in the Barracks Road Shopping Center's North Wing. We have since been introducing pink and green to Lilly-deprived souls and celebrating with long-time customers who love our new store and prime location!
Our Lilly Story: You're never without a smile when walking into a Lilly store, especially The Pink Palm in Charlottesville. With pink and green walls, chandeliers and a lilly-fied palm tree, it's like the sun shines during all four seasons in Virginia. In a small town, we love getting to know our customers on a more personal level to help them find the best styles that fit their needs. Sarah Fauerbach is the store manager and has been a Lilly Lover all her life! Assistant manager, Emily Woodrow came to us after working at a signature store in Alexandria, VA and her bubbly personality always keeps the store's energy level high. With our small staff, you can be sure Susan, Missy, Katie, Charlotte, Lydia, Katelyn, JC, Lisel, or Lane will be here to help you!
Or favorite product from the Fall '11 delivery is: The Adalie wrap dress! We love the style, prints and it is so flattering on any figure. Our customers love wrap dresses- especially with sleeves!
Did you know….One of our fabulous employees did an internship at Lilly Pulitzer's corporate headquarters this Summer?? While we really missed her this summer, she was busy sharing her creativity and talent with the marketing department. We loved reading her blog posts and can't wait to have her back this year to hear about her experience!
A favorite Customer Story: We love being located right next to the University of Virginia, helping the girls pick out dresses for all kinds of events, but this spring we got to share the biggest event of all with one of our customers. A UVA grad getting married in the University Chapel, came to us for all things Lilly! We outfitted all the bridesmaids and found fun party gifts for everyone involved! It was sure to be a magical day and best wishes to the bride and groom to love, laugh and wear Lilly!
Today is a day worth celebrating here at the Pink Palace. We are very, very, very excited to be launching our brand new website, lillypulitzer.com! (and no- it's not a coincidence that tomorrow is our last Summer Friday-the web team is taking full advantage of the early weekend because they are ready to celebrate! Tomorrow's Happy Hour will be surely be very HAPPY!)
Now imagine you've just discovered a new Lilly shop *squeee* – you walk in the door, wide-eyed, smiles from ear-to-ear and a burning sensation coming from inside your purse. (tell me we aren't the only ones who feel that!) The store staff spots you in your head-to-toe Lilly and greets you with a knowing smile. "Hi there!" she says, "Have you shopped with us before?" "No." you answer in whispered astonishment. "Well then, let's have a looksie, shall we?"
In the middle of our homepage, you'll hit the Lilly Jackpot. Zingo!! Here you'll find what's new, featured looks of the season, dresses, tops & bottoms, shoes & accessories, Minnies and home & gifts. All our goodies in a pretty, little row, just waiting to be scooped up! And two treasures we know you'll looooooove – our Shop by Print (yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!) and Behind the Scenes. (making sure our Lilly girl is aaaallllways in-the-know!)
In our top right corner you'll find everything you need to make shopping with Lilly easy. (no- we have not built in some kind of decision-maker that helps you pick through your over-flowing Lilly tote – that part is still hard!) But, we have created ways to make shopping on lillypulitzer.com more convenient and seamless leaving you with just the FUN parts!
And you know it wouldn't be Lilly if we didn't create a spot for all our pretty young things to socialize and get to know the other Lilly Lovers who are living a colorful life, so in the top left corner we're inviting you to join the party on Facebook and Twitter and get all the Lilly juice through e-mail and even texts! Be the life of the party and never miss a Lilly beat.
We're tried to include all the tiniest details along the bottom (you know we're all about the details!) from ordering & shopping from our catalog, buying a gift card, finding your dream job at Lilly and even helping you find your way around the site. And of course we made it easy to always find answers to your questions, even when Jack & Kate aren't manning the phones!
And there will be other hidden gems we'll be sure to point out to you along the way (fit ratings, my <3s, share with friends, adorable gift cards, monogramming (yes! now breathe, breathe) ship to store, etc.)
If you're like so many of us, you probably have a cute boy or your precious Minnie waiting patiently for your attention so you're just going to HAVE TO stop back in, won't you?? Don't worry- this party is 24 hours, 365 days a year and there's never a dull moment.
This August 1st we think a new holiday was created- National Get to Use My New Lilly Agenda Day. You think that'll catch on? It's not like we made it up- it was all of you Lilly Loving, party planning, oh-so-organized ladies that got soooooo excited about the agenda that it was all anyone around the office could talk about! So you know, we penciled the holiday in on our planners- and maybe it'll make it into the 2012 calendar- you'll just have to get one next year to find out!
Above are some of the things we love about the agenda (sorry we're not sorry about bragging) – I mean really; look at those stickers! and we just loooove January's print! and the list of reasons to party? so helpful! (when you have a party on Wednesday, June 20th & people want to know why, you just point to your planner & say "Duh! It's Summer Solstice!") We also happen to love our August beach girl's advice- we shall oblige, that you very much!
And it was so fun to see how many of you loved the agendas too. The tweets, the Facebook posts, the e-mails, oh my! Here was just a snapshot of some of the fun:
Oh and 2 important dates you'll want to jot on those agendas? August 25th and September 25th- our next 2 fall deliveries arrive!!
Wanna join in the fun?? Get yours now! Large Small
We are absolutely ob-sessed with tassels. Perhaps you noticed? They're so chic and so sophisticated and absolutely perfect for our Fall drama theme. Enter: Macrame Me. Gorgeous colors that go great with your oh-no-I-refuse-to-let-go-of-summer-tan and take you right into fall.
Plus, the theater is just dripping with tassels and it conjures up images of a backstage dressing room filled with a velvet chaise complete with tassels, a dark lamp, and a long-legged theater actress calling everyone "dahling." One image we never imagined? A trimmings store on our trip to Florence completely dedicated to tassels. OMG- you would've thought we died and gone to heaven!! (Janie almost needed resuscitation!)
Oh what, you can't get enough tassels either? (we thought maybe) Take a peek at Behind the Rope and The Velvet Rope. That should do it!
Pink Palm Mclean is all set for our Fall celebration of drama with their dancing Minnie customers – we just know they'll get a Standing Ovation in their Lilly wherever they go!
Come find us! 6647 Old Dominion Drive, Mclean, VA 22101 Phone Number: 703.556.8750 Store hours- 10-6 Monday-Saturday, 12-5 Sunday Find us online and Fan us on Facebook
Our Owners, Lizanne Jeveret & David Holmes, are in all four of our stores continuously. As much as we love when they come to visit, we are always a tad more excited when they bring three of their furry children-Gracie, Boo and Sophie. These four-legged Lilly Lovers are always excited to greet all of our customers with attention and kisses!
A little bit about us… Our store was the second Pink Palm location when we opened in Reston, VA in 2003. We loved all of our customers in Reston but in 2008 we decided to move to Mclean and spread the Love of Lilly! Even though we are so close to the hustle and bustle of Washington D.C., we love the small town feel of our little piece of Lilly heaven!
Our favorite product from the Fall '11 line is… The Evie Dress! We love it in every pattern and want two of each! The flattering cut with its sassy bow can make any girl feel classy at work and flirty for happy hour. That is the type of functionality we can appreciate. :0)
Our store is unique because… we are located next to a ballet studio so we always have little ballerinas prancing about within our store. Walking into any Lilly store will brighten your day, but with all of the little tutu clad Minnies ready to show you the latest poses they've learned, you really can't do anything but smile. Yet as much as we love our little dancers, we love helping their mommies just as much! All of our employees are avid Lilly Lovers and love to help find matching outfits or flattering outfits for our women on the go. Make sure you come on in to visit and let us find the most fabulous and flattering Lilly frock for you!

15 year old Anastasia was being dropped off at school by her adopted mom Anko. She saw her friends, her old enemies, and a new teacher. Today's gunna be great she thought as she ran over to her friends. Meanwhile the akatsuki were getting ready to bust out of their cages and look for Anastasia. They all loved her ever since that day. They met her. Anko had brought her adopted daughter Anastasia to work and left her in her office while she went to talk to some of her colleagues. Being a curious 5 year old she got out of the office and was walking around Itex. She soon came to a door labeled Hybrid Center Don't Enter Without Tamer. She smiled happily and walked inside. The Akatsuki became calm when they saw her. They all purred as they took in her scent. Deidara and Hidan purred. She walked over to them. Hidan grabbed her and pulled her into his lap. They all had a turn holding and bathing her. The last to hold her was Itachi. Suddenly tons of tamers and scientists burst into the room. They were all shocked to see the innocent 5 year old girl sitting in Itachi's lap and to see him with his face buried in her neck and licking it. One of the tamers tried to take her but the Akatsuki started making an uproar as they tried to take her. Eventually Anko got her adopted daughter away from them and drove the crying 5 year old home. That was ten years ago and the Akatsuki wanted her back. As soon as the scientist were gone they burst from their cages and rushed towards her scent. The scent of Cherries. Meanwhile
Anatsasia was walking home from school when she was stopped by the school bullies Ino, Ami, Karin, and Sai. Hey freak greeted Ami. What are you doing out so late asked Ino? Going home she stated and tried to get past them but Karin punched her in the stomach. She fell to the ground and coughed up some blood. Suddenly a loud roar/growl was heard and the bullies screamed and ran off. Anastasia stood up and looked around. Then she was pounced. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar face. D-Deidara she whispered. He nodded. You escaped all by yourself she said. Not completely the rest of the Akatsuki escaped as well he said and smiled. Anastasia! Came a shout. Mom she said. When she turned around Deidara was gone. Meanwhile
the Akatsuki were in a cave not to far away.

None around here officially, but I have heard that a lot of vets are great with families that have to put down a pet. I would be shocked if our vet tech wouldn't come over if I asked. She is so in love with the boys - and the feeling is mutual.

Mick's vet was wonderful. Made regular house calls and his final call. For those of you in northeast PA: Dr. Sam's Veterinary Housecalls P.O.Box 152 Bath, PA 18014-0152 484-809-9838 Welcome | Dr. Sam's Veterinary House Calls Samantha Ottinger, DVM |
| ||||
Our vet is mobile only and is not on that list. She and her husband are wonderful if anyone in Fairfield County, Connecticut needs a vet who makes house calls. Her name is Dr. Meredith Re and her partner is her husband, Dr. John Gallagher. (They have a one year-old son so working out of their house is better for them.) I absolutely adore Dr. Re, who is tiny, and so does Griffin. She manages him beautifully although he is easily twice her size! She is a graduate of Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine (as is her partner) and their practice is called Good Shepherd Veterinary Services. They can be reached by phone at: (203) 505-1911 or (203) 803-5038 or by e-mailing email@example.com. They are really great, smart veterinarians and kind people.

2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2011 2012 |
1887 |
A Denver priest, two ministers and a rabbi recognized the need for cooperative action to address their city's welfare problems. The Rev. Myron W. Reed, Msgr. William J. O'Ryan, Dean H. Martyn Hart and Rabbi William S. Friedman put their heads together to plan the first united campaign for ten health and welfare agencies. They created an organization to serve as an agent to collect funds for local charities, as well as to coordinate relief services, counsel and refer clients to cooperating agencies, and make emergency assistance grants in cases which could not be referred.
That year, Denver raised $21,700 and created a movement that would spread throughout the county to become the United Way. Over 118 years later, United Way is still focused on mobilizing the caring power of communities and making a difference in people's lives. |
1887 | In Denver, religious leaders founded the Charity Organizations Society, the first "United Way" organization, which planned and coordinated local services and conducted a single fund-raising campaign for 22 agencies. |
1888 | First United Way campaign in Denver raised $21,700. |
1894 | Charitable institutions became exempt from the first federal act that imposed a tax on all corporations organized for profit. |
1913 | The nation's first modern Community Chest was born in Cleveland, where a program for allocating campaign funds was developed. |
1918 | Executives of 12 fund-raising federations met in Chicago and formed the American Association for Community Organizations (AACO), the predecessor to United Way of America. |
1919 | Rochester, New York, used the name Community Chest, a name widely adopted by United Way organizations and used until the early 1950s. This year began a 10-year growth period in the number of Community Chests: 39 in 1919; 353 in 1929. |
1948 | More than 1,000 communities had established United Way organizations. |
1971 | United Way of America moved from N.Y., City, New York to Alexandria, Virginia. |
1973 | The NFL and the United Way establish their partnership to increase public awareness of social service issues facing the country. In addition to public service announcements in which volunteer NFL players, coaches and owners appear, NFL players support their local United ways through personal appearances, special programs, and sitting on United Way governing boards. |
1974 |
United Ways raised $1,038,995,000 in America and Canada - the first time in history that an annual campaign of a single organization raised more than $1 billion. United Ways undertook with the National Football League (NFL) the largest public-service campaign in the nation's history; a major part of that campaign was Great Moments, the televised United Way/NFL public-service announcements. United Way International was formed to help nations around the world form United Way-type organizations. |
1981 | United Ways raised $1.68 billion, a 10.1 percent increase over the previous year. This figure represented the largest single-year percentage increase. |
1982 | United Way of America's new National Service and Training Center opened in August, increasing the organization's ability to assist the nation's 2,200 United Ways. |
1987 |
United Way recognized its centennial by saluting the America volunteer through many programs, including dedication of a United Way postage stamp by the U.S. Postal Service. --- Top of Page --- |
1991 | During the Persian Gulf War, a fully staffed Operations Center at United Way of America worked closely with other organizations to ensure that those in need received help. |
1992 |
William Aramony resigned as president and Kenneth W. Dam served a interim president and chief executive officer. Former Peace Corps Director Elaine L. Chao was selected as United Way of America's president and chief executive officer: the first Asian-American and first female to assume this position. |
1993 |
A national conference on Block Grants, hosted by United Way of America, provided valuable insight to nearly 250 attendees on the past and future performance of block grants, focusing on their implications for United Ways, their agencies, and the people they serve. The corporate community is increasingly demanding easier, more cost-efficient ways to process workplace campaigns. The Board sees these resolutions as the first steps in ensuring that United Way continues to be the premier workplace fund-raiser because of its ability to change to better meet customers' needs through the use of new technology. |
1994 |
United Way of America was selected by Financial World magazine as the charity of choice in 1994 for its leadership in not-for-profit ethics and accountability. 1994 marked the first year of United Way of America's Quality Awards, modeled after the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Awards. These awards recognize United Way organizations that demonstrated measurable progress in customer satisfaction, accountability and productivity. United Way of Allegheny County, Pittsburgh, PA, United Way of the Piedmont, Spartanburg, SC, and United Way of Southeastern New England, Providence, RI, were the first recipients of this prestigious award. |
1995 |
The Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games (ACOG) announced its selection of United Way of America and the United Way system as the primary provider of community support and volunteer services for the 1996 Olympic Torch Relay. In its role, United Way was responsible for assisting ACOG with the selection of torchbearers, organizing community celebrations to greet the arrival of the Olympic Flame, and coordinating volunteers for those functions. United Way of America's Board of Governors unanimously approved the adoption of Strategic Direction for United Way: Charting the Path for Building Better Communities. |
1996 |
United Way of America developed two Internet products, United Way Online for local United Ways and a website for the general public. Betty Stanley Beene was selected as United Way of America's new president and chief executive officer. Prior to her selection, Beene served as President and CEO of the Tri-State United Way. Former United Way of America President William Aramony appeals his sentence to the U.S. Supreme Court. In October of 1996, United Way of America identified healthy children, healthy families and healthy communities as focus areas under the strategic plan. |
1997 | Betty Stanley Beene assumes the position of President and CEO of United Way of America. |
1998 |
In 1997-98 campaigns, United Ways collectively raised $3.4 billion, boosting revenues by more than $150 million for a 4.7 percent increase over 1996-97 levels. United Ways and the NFL celebrate the 25th Anniversary of their unique partnership and the longest-running sports/charity public service announcement campaign of its kind. The partnership has enabled the United Way to share their special message with 110 million viewers during football season. Over 950 spots have aired since 1973. --- Top of Page --- |
1999 |
Bank of America Foundation donates $50 million over 5 years to local United Ways in 22 states where they conduct business to support United Way's Birth to Work Agenda, previously called Success by 6®. Bill and Melinda Gates donate $10.5 million to support vital United Way programs and services to strengthen the United Way system. |
2000 |
United Ways embark on a national brand management strategy designed to differentiate United Way brand and system. The strategy helps to reposition United Way as more than a "fundraiser," but rather as the leading community impact organization. United Way and its partners, the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems, successfully petition the Federal Communications Commission to designate "211" for health and human services information and referral. Originally created by United Way of Atlanta, 211 is an easy-to-remember and universally recognizable telephone number that makes a critical connection between individuals and families in need and the appropriate community-based organizations and government agencies. The United Way of America Board of Governors establishes the Task Force on Strengthening the United Way System to propose a strategic direction and recommend changes to the operating processes and governing mechanisms of the United Way system. Chaired by Jack Little, retired president and CEO of Shell Oil Company and a UWA Board member, the Task Force is comprised of 21 individual volunteer and staff leaders, representing member United Ways, corporations, organized labor and UWA's Board of Governors. United Way of America launches the United Way State of Caring Index®. The index measures the needs of American and the caring and compassion of the nation, as well as each state. |
2001 |
In January Betty Beene concludes her service as UWA President. UWA Chief Administrative Officer Chris Amundsen is appointed as Interim President. In the 2000-2001 campaigns, United Way generated a record-breaking $3.91 billion in resources. For the fifth year in a row, campaign growth outpaces inflation. In response to terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and Somerset County, PA, the United Way of New York City and the New York Community Trust establish the September 11th Fund. The purpose of the Fund is to mobilize financial resources to respond to the pressing needs of the victims, their families, and communities affected by the tragedy. Four months after its establishment, donations to the September 11th Fund total more than $425 million. In December, the preliminary report of the Task Force on Strengthening the United Way System--Rising to the Challenges--is presented to UWA's Board of Governors and the United Way system's National Professional Council (NPC). The proposed mission statement, "to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of communities" and vision statement are adopted by UWA's Board of Governors and strongly endorsed by the NPC. |
2002 | In January, Brian Gallagher assumes the position of United Way of America president and CEO. A 20-year veteran of United Way, Gallagher was president of the United Way of Central Ohio in Columbus, the 16th largest United Way in the country. Gallagher becomes UWA's fourth president, succeeding Betty Stanley Beene, whom concluded her service to United Way on January 31, 2001. |
2003 |
New Membership Standards for member United Ways that are designed to enhance the level of accountability and transparency in United Way operations are overwhelmingly adopted. United Way of America launched its brand "what matters. TM" advertising campaign. "what matters. TM" is an articulation of the commitment United Way has to creating meaningful and tangible impact in communities across America. |
2004 |
In response to the devastating hurricanes that ravaged the state of Florida, United Ways throughout Florida lead response and recovery efforts by identifying the most serious needs in devastated communities. The Florida 2-1-1 Network responded to thousands of telephone calls directing victims to services such as shelters, food, medical assistance, disaster preparedness and response activities, post-disaster assistance, and recovery information. Local 2-1-1 operators also matched volunteers with opportunities to give help in affected communities. The tragic tsunami that struck South Asia focused attention on that area of the world. The United Way Coordinated Crisis Response Team worked collaboratively with other United Way organizations throughout the world to respond to the disaster. |
2005 |
First adopted in 1973 and last updated in 1988, United Way of America updates its Standards of Excellence. In conjunction with Civitas and the Ad Council, United Way of America introduces Born Learning, an innovative public engagement campaign designed to provide parents and caregivers with the resources they need to create quality early learning opportunities for young children. |
2006 | United Way of America and MTV created Storm Corps, an Alternative Spring Break program that invites young people to help United Way rebuild the Gulf Coast after the devastating hurricanes of 2005. Nearly 100 young adults traveled to Biloxi, MS, and Foley, AL, to assist with rebuilding and recovery efforts. |
2007 | The United Way Financial Stability Partnership™ was introduced. The national initiative will empower low- to moderate-income people to achieve long-term financial stability that leads to independence. United Way annual revenue topped $4 billion for the first time, continuing its status as the nation's largest charity. |
2008 | United Way introduced the bold goals for the common good focused on education, income and health, and LIVE UNITED, a new call to action for everyone to become a part of the change. |
2009 | United Way International and United Way of America came together to create United Way Worldwide, the largest privately-funded nonprofit in the World, with more than 1,800 United Ways in 41 countries and territories. |
2011 | United Way Worldwide signed a partnership agreement with the China Charity Federation increasing the reach and ability of the worldwide organization to create opportunities for a better life for all. The organization also launched its U.S. volunteer call to action with the goal of recruiting one million volunteer readers, tutors and mentors to advance United Way education goals. |
2012 |
United Way celebrates its 125th anniversary and enters into partnerships with CNN and CNN international to share the LIVE UNITED message in communities around the world. --- Top of Page --- |

Akathist Hymn for the Dormition (Assumption, as we call it in the west) of the Mother of God
« Back to Events- Event:

Fr. Dcn.Lawrence Hendricks will lead us in praying the Akathist Hymn in honor of the Dormition of the Mother of God (or the Assumption, as we call it in the west).
The Akathist Hymn is a cherished part of the spirituality of the Byzantine Tradition, both in the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. For an introduction to the history and usage of the Akathist hymn, you can watch this documentary, courtesy of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1aTQe869rg (If you need a late 80's nostalgia fix, the video will help in that regard as well…)
Fr. Bill Ashbaugh has been generous enough to allow us to use the chapel in the St. Thomas rectory. Theresa Pellican has offered to serve as cantor.
