Monroe clothing bank closes its doors

Jillian Hising listens to her 5-year-old son, Derick Perecz, as they look through clothes at Valley Clothing on Wednesday morning in Monroe.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Derick Perecz, 5, looks for a toy hand to complete a pair of foam fists as his grandmother, Melonie Coahran, looks through clothes at Valley Clothing on Wednesday morning in Monroe.
Now, there will be one fewer place to go for her and many other families in need.
The church that runs the clothing bank, Tapestry Vineyard Church, had to downsize and recently sold its building and the property where the clothing bank is located. Wednesday was Valley Clothing's last day of operation.
"It's going to affect me deeply," Richardson said. "It helps out immensely. It's been a real blessing having it here. I hate to see it go, for myself and the other families."
Francesca Mesneak, wife of Senior Pastor Mike Mesneak, said the church lost a key tenant in its industrial-park style building at 17146 Beaton Road SE. This, combined with other economic factors, led to the decision to sell the property, said Mesneak, who volunteers at the clothing bank.
"It is really hard to close an outreach that meets a real need in our community as well as to lose that connection with so many wonderful people," Pastor Mesneak said in a written statement.
Tapestry Vineyard Church plans to continue services at 4:30 p.m. Sundays, beginning July 7, at the East County Senior Center at 276 Sky River Parkway. The church will maintain an office at 20014 U.S. 2, Unit C.
Neither of those locations can accommodate the clothing bank.
Church officials spoke to the new owner of its former building about continuing to lease space in the mobile home on the property where the clothing bank is located, next to the main building.
"He's a business owner and investor and he wants top dollar and nonprofits are not his racket," Francesca Mesneak said. "We understand that."
The only other free clothing bank in the Skykomish River valley, according to Valley Clothing shoppers, is Tabitha House in Sultan, run by the United Methodist Church at 212 Birch St. It's open noon to 3 p.m. Tuesdays, but is closed until July 16 for maintenance, director Donna Rice said.
The Monroe church started Valley Clothing nine years ago, inspired by two young moms who wanted to start a children's clothing exchange. At first it was called Hope Chest, then as it grew its name was changed to HANDS and finally Valley Clothing.
Recently it grew to serving 7,000 to 10,000 people per month, Mesneak said. About 1,400 families are in the clothing bank's data base.
While much of the clothing was for children, garments for men and women were available as well. Anyone could shop for free for the rest of the family. People were asked to check in at the desk but proof of income was not required. Many families were referred from local schools, volunteers said.
Donations came from a variety of sources. On its last day Wednesday, the bank still had about 200 men's pants, 300 women's pants and between 150 and 250 coats, for example. Shoppers had been limited on the number of each type of item, but those limits recently were lifted, Mesneak said. The remaining clothing will be donated to other non-profit groups.
Valley Clothing was open the first and third Wednesdays of each month, for four hours per day in split shifts, staffed by a rotating team of 12 volunteers.
Roberta Burtis, of Sultan, has put in "thousands of hours," Mesneak said.
Burtis said she discovered Valley Clothing in 2009 "after I became homeless and lost everything. I bounced back and ever since then I've been helping out."
While the transition for Tapestry Vineyard Church has been difficult emotionally, Mesneak said, it's been an opportunity for the church to refocus.
They're looking at other potential ways to serve, she said. A meal program is one possibility. "It's given us a chance to look at our community through fresh eyes," she said.

16-16, 24-14, 8-19, 21-22
Souleyman Diabate's jump-shot with two seconds left on the clock saw Nancy top French rivals BCM Gravelines 71-69 to take control of their own destiny in the race for the Last 16 of the EuroChallenge - and deny Gravelines qualification on the night.
In a tense finish, Gravelines - who had led by as many as 10 midway through the game - came back from 69-65 down with 68 seconds left to tie it at 69 on a Dwight Buycks' lay-up 19 ticks from time.
But Diabate made his jump-shot count and Cyril Akpomedah's late heave missed as Nancy took the spoils.
Gravelines had led 40-30 when Abdoulaye Mbaye split a pair of free throws just before half-time.
But they let Nancy rally early in the second half, with Torrell Martin's three-pointer capping a 13-2 run that put them up 43-42 four minutes after the restart.
Claude Marquis led Nancy with 16 points while Diabate collected 15 and Herve Toure 11.
Buycks had 19 for Gravelines with Julius Johnson collecting 18 and Mbaye 10.
SLUC Nancy player Nicholas Pope"It's a good victory for us because we had some changes in our team since last week. We all came here to win and we did, it was our first goal. Now we have to keep this rhythm to make sur we qualify next week."
SLUC Nancy head coach Jean-Luc Monschau"Our very good third quarter allowed us to play for the victory. We will only have to win next week to be qualified. No point-average, just winning and we'll be qualified for the Last 16. And I'm also really happy nobody got injured because we had some troubles with this since the beginning of the season.
BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque player Juby Johnson"Turnovers destroyed us tonight. We had a pretty good first half but they came out with more intensity in the second half and they took the game in our hands. But of course, we're happy to be qualified now!"
BCM Gravelines-Dunkerque head coach Christian Monschau"We had to lose by twelve points or less to be qualified. We had the chance to win the game but Diabate's shot took it away from us. They had a very good defensive intensity in the second half and that disturbed us. But the main thing is done: we qualified."

text: What If I Don't Pass the Exam? What Can I Do Then? (Updated May 2, 2011) The first step is to take a deep breath. Then maybe take one more. After you take your test you will receive is your score information in what I like to call the short version. This score reports the percent correct in each domain. If you took the computer based exam, you would have received your scores before you left the testing center. If you took the paper and pencil exam, you either received your scores in the mail, or logged into your account and saw them there – whichever one comes first. Now that you've taken a deep breath, the second thing to do is look at your complete score report. I'd recommend printing this out, but that's up to you. To access your complete score report you will need to log into your ACE account, then click 'My Exams'. The complete score report will list your total score, the score for each domain, and then the scores for each of the tasks within that domain. Below is an example from an ACE Personal Trainer certification exam. Client Interview and Assessment 40 19 47.50% Establish rapport and program value using effective communication and listening techniques to build trust, confidence, and enthusiasm and to maximize program participation. 2 2 100% Assess client attitudes, preferences, motivations, and readiness for behavior change using questionnaires and interviews to set appropriate program goals and to identify potential barriers and unrealistic expectations. 3 0 0% Obtain health and exercise history and lifestyle information (e.g., nutrition habits, activity) using questionnaires, interviews, and available documents to determine risk stratification, to identify the need for medical clearance and referrals, and to facilitate program design. 20 7 35% This fragment of a score report indicates that the candidate got 47.50% on this domain – below the 72%+ that is recommended. The candidate got 19 out of 40 questions right in the domain. Task 1 (Establish rapport…) was 2 right out of 2 for 100% on that task. Task 2 (Assess client attitudes…) was 0 right out of 3 for 0% on that task. And Task 3 (Obtain health and exercise…) was 7 right out of 20 for 35% on that task. By reviewing your score report, you will see the areas that need the greatest improvement. This should give you an idea of what direction your studies need to go. For more assistance, you can contact an Education Consultant at ACE (they also work as Study Coaches!) at x782 or firstname.lastname@example.com So you've got your scores, you've studied, talked to ACE about resources, prepared some more, and now decided to re-take the exam. When you have a day and location in mind, you will want to log into your ACE account, go the 'My Exams', then select 'Schedule Retake'. By registering for your exam this way, you will be eligible for the discounted re-take exam fees (if you re-test within a year from your original exam). The final suggestion, or step if you would, is to take your time in preparing for a re-take. Too often I see people who are unsuccessful at their exam rush to take another test as soon as possible. Maybe they are worried they'll lose all the information they studied or they think a week of intense memorization will get them through the next attempt. Instead, what does the trick is a close look at areas of strength and weakness, and focused study that considers comprehension and understanding rather than memorization. If you've got questions about a retake, or about preparing in general, please contact one of our Education Consultants at 1-888-825-3636 x782.

"She loves it"
I've had the bed for the last three dogs and they've all loved it. It's now worn out and we need a new one. I hope it's as well made as the old one.
"love the bed, caution on the cover"
I have 3 Aussies, the bed was purchased for a specific one but the other 2 failed to get the memo. It is the most popular bed in the house. The removable fitted sheet makes it easy to keep clean. Warning-never dry the sheet in a dryer! You will not get it back onto the bed, as there is significant shrinkage. I now wash mine and hang it to dry, no problems with this technique to date, it gets washed weekly. So about 100 washes so far.

A few weeks ago I listened to an interesting debate between a modern day scientist and a biblical creationist. The focus of the debate centered around two drastically opposing views explaining creation. These two views attempt to answer the question," How did we get here?" The scientist presented his view of an earth millions of years old which came into existence through a process known as evolution. The creationist presented his evidence for a relatively young earth, only thousands of years in age, created by God just as recorded in the biblical Book of Genesis. While I found the debate very interesting, and even intriguing, I must confess that I was left somewhat disappointed. I had sat in thrilling anticipation through the duration of the almost 2 ½ hour debate. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to hear why my favored debater, the creationist, believed what he did. I already knew "what" he believed but I wanted to hear him explain "why" he believed the Bible. It's not enough to simply know what we believe but we must be ready to explain why we believe. 1 Peter 3:15 tells us to "…always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you…"
I too believe the Genesis account that God created all of creation in six literal days. I believe the record recorded in the Bible is divinely inspired, completely trustworthy, and totally without error. Allow me to explain why I believe the Bible is trustworthy. Here are only four of many evidences I could give if space allowed it.
Evidence No. 1. Archaeological Discoveries: Archaeologists are continually unearthing artifacts, bones, and ancient manuscripts which support the accuracy of the Biblical record. Grant R. Jeffery has written a wonderful resource on this subject entitled "The Signature of God."
Evidence No. 2. Fulfilled Prophecies: There are many predictions recorded in the Bible which actually came to pass hundreds of years after they were written. Dr. Hugh Ross estimates that about 2000 prophecies recorded in the Bible have been fulfilled to the letter already. (Fulfilled Prophecy: Evidence for the Reliability of the Bible by Dr Hugh Ross; http://www.reasons.org/articles/articles/fulfilled-prophecy-evidence-for-the-reliability-of-the-bible).
Evidence No. 3. Agreement in Biblical Record: The Bible consists of 66 separate books written over a period of about 1,500 years by more than 40 different writers yet each book compliments the next with a united message flowing through them all; Jesus is God's plan of salvation. How can this be? There is only one author behind the books, God.
Evidence No. 4. Transformed Lives: From the early disciples to people like Martin Luther, CS Lewis, Corrie Ten Boom, Joni Eareckson Tada and countless others the Bible has had a life changing influence. From my own life I know that the Truth of God sets people free (John 8:32). I was once a drunkard, a drug user, a thief and a liar. In 1989 I walked away from a life that was killing me and I began to take God's word as truth. I trusted Christ as my Lord (Romans 10:9) and now there is a joy in my heart that never shall depart.
I challenge you to check out the resources mentioned. Give the Bible an honest look. I believe you too will realize that it is a book unlike any other book known to man. The Bible speaks of its uniqueness in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." The Bible is God's trusted Word for our lives.

Bulgari Aqua
Thread: Nice Aquatic
I have been a total fragrance snob for a long time and vowed never to wear an aquatic but I find in this Mexican heat, I am craving an aquatic. Any recommendations for a great aquatic/seaweed/oceanic/iodine prominent scent?
I did try Bond 9 Coney Island (before all the lawsuit mess) and I liked the opening with guava and lime and that wonderful aquatic accord but not the caramel sweetness in the base notes. Since I vowed not to buy a Bond fragrance because of the aforementioned lawsuit mess, let's just forget Coney Island for now.
Any suggestions?
Bulgari Aqua
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
bulgari aqua is by far my favorite aquatic scent, but seeing as your a "fragrance snob" i doubt you'll try it :P nothing wrong with common stuff as long as it sells good plus i doubt most people would know the difference between creed and something less expensive.
Another vote for Bulgari Aqua (not Marine. No longevity there.)
Really? You didn't like aquatics and now you crave one? I sort of figured you like 'em or you don't. I hate aquatics as a rule. Can't imagine ever wanting scent for that calone note. Iodine smells nice though. I didn't realize that was an aquatic note. If you find one that suits you, post it. I'll give it a try.
Oh- I do detect a synthetic, slightly Calonous note in last year's Opium PH Eau D'Orient. Maybe that would work for you.
Support your local Leonberger rescue.
The best I've tried is Nautica Voyage, but even that I don't want on me. I used it to freshen up an old wooden storage box, and it really smelled great afterwards. It took out the old musty smell and replaced it with something great. I don't like smelling aquatics on myself, for whatever reason, just seems like there is so much better available. I liked Unbound too, but again, just nothing special at all.
[QUOTE=argogos;1194520] Iodine smells nice though. I didn't realize that was an aquatic note. If you find one that suits you, post it. I'll give it a try.QUOTE]
Seaweed (kelp) is very high in iodine. Maybe "seaweed" is what he meant by "iodine?" If so, Bulgari Aqua is heavy on posidonia.
Probably not the best ... but a really nice & unique one from my lot is
Allesandro Dell'Acqua "Man"

I'm interested to hear what others say about this. I've tried a good 30 some aquatic frags and have only found one to my likeing...Issey Miyake. Yes its flooded the market but I must say that it is quite beautiful and well made. Everyone may smell like it but its better than whats out there IMHO.
Creed's Erolfa is also a well made aquatic. Though on me it ends up as a "Dried Up Towel from the Beach+Fishes", nonetheless, not on me it smells great. Its well respected but I think you should give it a try. You can sample it at PERFUMEDCOURT.COM
HEY! Another enthusiastic vote for Bulgari Aqua. Now that I own Aqua Motu, and have a sample of Profumum's Acqua di Sale, I still think Bulgari Aqua (original) is the no contest winner. Trust, Kelly, Trust.
Best one to keep you depressed on rainy day - Horizon.
Nothing else is like it!
I don't wear aquatics, but I find that Hermès Eau des Merveilles is evocative of the ocean/beach, because of its rather salty ambergris.
L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraiche which is the fresher version of Bleue(which is just adore); seeems to fit your request IMO.

I'll second erolfa cos it's fantastic but i dont think you can sample it at tpc at the moment.
Aqua Di Roma and Millesime Imperial, both fruity Aquatics.

I'm a fresh scent junkie and proud of it!
Erolfa by Creed
Aqua by Bvlgari
Chrome (original) and Chrome Legend by Azzaro
Aqua Motu by Comptoir Sud Pacific
Acqua di Gio by Armani
Aqua di Mare by il profumo
Issey Miyake
Pure by Boss
Aqua Motu by Comptoir Sud Pacifique definitely needs to be considered in this category.
Cool Water
PVC and Leather. A Chain and a feather
I think one of the most well done aquatics is still Acqua di Gio. I do believe this fragrance is more hated on BN for its commoness than the actual fragrance.
Bulgari Aqua, smelling like a rocky beach, does smell differently than all other aquatics.
Wanted: a cap of Bvlgari Thé Vert
Wanted: L' Artisan Timbuktu or Fragonard Concerto
Feel free to visit Polderposh - a young up & coming Dutch fragrance blog!
I loathe and detest aquatics, but there are exceptions to every rule and the exception is Coney Island. (What lawsuit?) I love this stuff. I actually bought it because I am a huge rollercoaster fanatic and it seemed appropriate that I get this. I found it OK initially, but somehow it became a real staple. I love the zingly lime margarita opening. It's just fresh and fun. I do indeed wear it to amusement parks, but also on days where I'm tired, because it wakes me up.
My other wakey uppy scent is Virgin Island Water, though it's not an aquatic as such - it is refershing on a hot day, though.
If you want something a bit different then seek out Neil Morris's Aegean. It has ozonic notes but dries down warm and woody. I like this one. http://www.neilmorrisfragrances.com/aegean.html
No one likes Kenzo pour Homme?
Now, I´m wearing Wall Street by Bond No. 9, also one of the best aquatic scents (for me)!!!
Creed Millesime Imperial
Creed Erolfa and Silver Mountain Water.
Aria di Mare by il profumo
"I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best." - Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
IMO the best is Emilio Pucci VIVARA, which, although it is a female scent is very wearable by men
I second L'eau d'Issey and Leau Bleu D'Issey summer version, and Bvlgari.
Also, L'eau Par Kenzo.
For some reason, most others smell like unpleasant chemicals and detergents to me.
My aquatic Top 3 would be:
1. Aqua Motu
2. Kenzo pour Homme
3. Bvlgari Aqva

Marketed to women, but I think they'd both smell wonderful on men - not too perfumey:
Dune (find at the drugstore - an acquatic, dry oriental)
Caron's Eau de Caron Pure (more unisex and more straightforward acquatic - nothing sweet or sour)
the Kenzos are also good, although I've only just sampled, not worn extensively
Another vote for L'eau Par Kenzo. For me this comes pretty close as being the ultimate aquatic.
What happened to you, Kenzo, why all this forgettable frags lately?
Like you Paintrman I have always been stauchly anti aquatic but recently have softened somewhat. I like amouage Arcus because it is so well made and has such a stunning development from start to totally non-aqautic finish. Also I have come back to Millesime Imperial because ....well it just smells really good . Brilliantly blended with high quality synthetics I just find it very pleasing.
Erolfa doesn't float my boat, bulgari just smells WRONG to me. Alessandro del Acqua is very well made if a bit mundane in concept.

"Wear R de Capucci" - Hirch Duckfinder
I didnt mention Givenchy Blue Label and Aramis Surface, probably my two favorite aquatics along with MI, but being someone who dislikes aquatics, I surely didnt expect these to be the best suggestions for you.
I'm a fresh scent junkie and proud of it!
A friend just gave me a bottle of Bvlgari Blue today because she said she bought it for herself and didn't like it. I will give it a wear tomorrow and report back.
The original Kenzo Pour Homme remains my favorite, though I have to say L'Eau par Kenzo didn't impress me. Horizon (one of my first scents ever) reminds me of Kenzo somewhat apart from its oriental, sandalwood-heavy drydown. An oriental aquatic - not too many of those around. I believe Laguna Homme was similarly labeled - must try that one as well, as well as Gai Mattiolo Uomo, Bvlgari Aqua, Aqua Motu, blah blah blah...;-)
Also on my list, the usual suspects with a few dark horses...Erolfa, MI and SMW are all "watery" to my nose but with that certain something (and not just the price) that sets them apart from the crowd.
Mare by Beth Terry's really grown on me (thanks again tvlampboy!)...this summer it'll see a lot of use, esp. on beach days.
Although I think of it as ozonic (more "airy" than "watery" to my nose), both Oxygene and Oxygene Homme are very good - dry where most like this for whatever reason heap on that overdone, aggravating laundry-detergent/fabric-softener-from-hell note like I smell in L'Eau par Kenzo(galaxolides maybe...?).
Loves of Late: Agua Lavanda, Eau Sauvage, Gendarme, Guerlain Vetiver, Guerlain EdC Imperiale, Ivoire de Balmain, Kenzo PH, Mitsouko, Royall Lyme, Tabac Original
Kenzo homme is my favourite seaweed/acquatic scent - just don't expect any attention from females.
Nautilus Aqua is my fabourite woody marine scent.
Nautilus Black Marlin is my favourite marine oriental scent.
Nautilus Blazer is a marine something or other scent, which is none-the-less intriguing.
Insense Ultramarine really is Ultra in the marine department.
Dali's Laguna reminds me of a lagoon for some reason.
Halston Unbound is my favourite office aquatic.
I'm also very partial to Nautica original.
Erolfa is okay too.

Fougeres Marine and Erolfa
Estee Lauder Beyond Paradise
The best one I've tried is Amerigo Vespucci Marina Militaire. An extraordinary scent which conjures up the image of being aboard an old sea vessel. Wood creaking, the salty water slamming against the sides of the boat, occasionally causing some of it to end up on the deck making the salty smell mix with the smell of the wood. Mmmm... Did I mention it's excellent?
Beyond Amerigo, I've tried Il Prufumo's Aria di Mare and it didn't work for me. There's something I just can't stand in it. I'll try it again at a later date to see if I come warm up to it, but right now, no.
AdG I dunno. It's very popular and I can sometimes enjoy it other people (assuming it's been sprayed in moderation), but when I "examine" it I find AdG to be a bit sour, too sour.
I have Kenzo PH Fresh, it's rather aquatic than the original and and like it, though not as much as I did at the monent of impulse buying Alas both do have a kind of sweetness which I don't find appropriate for an aquatic scent.
Profumum Acqua di Sale, hands down.
Of the men's aquatic scents I've found Acqua di Gio to remind me of a man fresh out of the shower and L'eau d'Issey reminds me of a man fresh out of the ocean.
I don't get how "soapy" or "aquatic" scents are not supposed to be sexy?
Besides musks, they're the only fragrance family that make me imagine a man nude or in sexual positions. I don't imagine a man naked when he's wearing a more floral or woody type of scent.
With the aquatics it's more suggested and hinted at - like, "why yes, I did just take a shower...." Then I imagine him in the shower or coming out with just a towel on. With musks, I imagine the down & dirty. But maybe that's just me?
I've never come out of a shower wearing just a towel in my entire life.
For starters, I'd need some kind of long beach towel to be able to make some kind of knot that holds it up or else, with a standard towel, I'd have to resort to safety pins to keep it up - which I guess is how they do it in the movies.
Renato, in what world do you live in? it is so simple and easy to hold the towel. It was one of the first things that I learned as a child. Just after learning how to tie the knots on my shoes.
Virgo 75 is right, the image of a man coming out of the shower with a towel is very sexy.

Polo Blue is one of my favorites from this category.
I usually shy away from this category, but here are some of my favorites (and in no order):
Acqua di Gio. This one gets a bad rap, mainly because of its popularity, but it is still pretty fantastic for what it tries to do. The sea accord is really amazing. I used to wear it after swim practice and it worked perfectly.
Beyond Paradise Men. I know I gave this one a fat thumbs down before, but I just sprayed some on after a workout/shower and my mind has totally changed. This is some really nice juice. It will definitely be in my summer circulation.
Erolfa. Citrus, sea salt, and ambergris. Just perfect. Wear your dock shoes and tie your sweater around your neck for this one.
Millesime Imperial. At times this one wears a little too luxurious for me, but as a summer evening scent it is just sublime.

You are not your perfume.
My favorite overall is Dunhill Fresh.
Although to balance all those water lily aquatic plants smells it's got alot of dry patchouli, basil, and baby powder. So it's not a true 100% aquatic.
Bvlgari Aqva is a real true aquatic. It's loaded with that seagrass (posidonia) note, which imo is missing in the new Aqva Marine.
Also, it's not for me, but if anyone's looking for gourmet chlorine pool, grab some L'Eau Par Kenzo PH
I should get a sample of Acqua Di Gio just for old time's sake, but I don't know, since i have Bvlgari Aqva, I have no reason to go back to it, would I?
Try Aqva Marine by Bvlgari...is a mix between Acqua di Gio, Clinque Happy, the original Aqva and also a bit Aqua Motu...and the lasting power is amazing...good sillage too, believe me...try out!!!
Il Profumo Aria di Mare
Bvlgari Aqua/Aqua Marine
Beth Terry Mare.
I tried out a sample of Erolfa recently and, while I enjoyed the scent, I found both the sillage and longevity to be very poor. I can hardly smell the stuff on me at all, even while holding my wrist to my nose.
I vote for Bvlgari Aqua, since it's far less mainstream than L'Eau d'Issey and Aqua di Gio. It's a great frag.
Top 5 rotation: Bvlgari PH, YSL l'homme, John Varvatos, Terre d'Hermes, Bvlgari Aqua
Others owned: Ungaro III, Creed Bois du Portugal, Hugo Boss Baldessarini, Rive Gauche, Creed Green Irish Tweed, Gucci PH, Armani Mania, Van Cleef & Arpels PH, Gucci Envy

It has its disadvantages and advantages like every system:
Disadvantage: Two parties get to fight it out while other viewpoints and fringe ideas never really get brought up and dealt with. The winner, usually feeling they have a mandate because they beat out the only other choice takes actions far beyond what even the people who voted them into office want. Very bipolar partisan factionalism with little cause to form any sort of working together.
Advantages: The two main parties have to cater to the center mass of people rather than subscribe to fringe viewpoints as if they go too far, the otherside will always win. There is less factionalism, or at least less factions to deal with. Theoretically, the winner does so with a majority and therefore some sort of mandate which gains acceptance and provides for a more stable government.

What you call an advantage is what I'd call the system's biggest disadvantage. The whole political spectrum is compressed down to a one-dimensional line and the only voters they fight for are the narrow section in the center, most "mainstream" democrats and republicans aren't relevant because they'll never switch sides and voting for anyone else or not voting only weakens "their" side. They can grumble and moan but you know in the end they'll tow the party line because it's better than the other guy winning. And there's no cooperation between the sides unless they're both looking to screw you.
In our system there's currently seven parties in parliament, two left, three center (left/right-leaning perhaps) and two right and for the most part they do find a majority after the election, like currently both left parties and one center party is in a coalition, it's not really more fancy than each senator wanting their pork. And it obviously matters if the voting distribution is 5% vs 30 % or 15% vs 20%, so each vote matters as you shift from "light red" to "dark red" even though it'll probably still be a red government and the same for blue. That means you have to work for all your voters, because otherwise they're fleeing in all directions.
The other big point is cooperation, with smaller parties you don't need to have the leftmost liberal Democrat working with the rightmost tea party Republican. Very often you can find a majority center-left, center-right or moderate left-moderate right, the US system is extremely adversarial. Anything one side comes up with, the other side must absolutely hate and totally try to sabotage in every way possible, even by cheap techniques like filibustering. And why not? They don't ever need to cooperate neither now nor later, no reason not to burn bridges. And if you ever get control over both the House and Senate, ram 'em good.

The rhetoric the big two candidates have adopted is "gladhanding" where you say nice things that Americans love hear said and carefully avoid saying anything that can be used by the other candidate to peel away any voting constituency.
The benefit of the third and fourth party candidates is they have been speaking truth to power.

Salesperson Selection, Training, and Development: Trends, Implications, and Research Opportunities
2005, Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management
William L Cron, Greg W Marshall, Jagdip Singh, Rosann L Spiro, Harish Sujan
Building on the forces of change in selling identified in the introductory paper of this Special Issue of JPSSM, we identify and explicate trends, managerial implications, and research opportunities in two important domains of the selling field: training and development (TD) and selection. Part One focuses on TD of salespeople, and argues why a fresh perspective on salesperson TD is essential. Then, taking a knowledge, skills, and ability (KSA) approach, a framework for future TD content is proposed around three levels of KSAs: task-related KSAs, growth-related KSAs, and meta-KSAs. Part Two, on selection, focuses on several important predictors of salesperson success: cognitive ability tests, personality inventories, and biodata. Then, assessment methods are reviewed. Finally, we summarize with a discussion of emerging trends and research opportunities. The focus of the discussion is on both enhancing salesperson performance and affording scholars new research opportunities.

John Plumtree has been forced to dip into his Vodacom Cup reserves for the match against the Stormers this weekend, selecting debutant Sean Robinson on the wing.
Robinson is one of two changes to the Sharks starting line-up, the other being Ryan Kankowski starting on the side of the scrum for the injured Jacques Botes.
Robinson is in his second year at the Sharks Academy who has impressed during his time with the Vodacom Cup team, getting the opportunity to prove he has what it takes at the top level. Plumtree has opted to back a youthful player rather than shifting players around, sticking with Frans Steyn at fullback and Paul Jordaan at outside centre.
Kankowski comes into the side as a straight swop for Botes, with Jean Deysel timing his return from injury to perfection. Deysel injured himself earlier in the competition but is back a week sooner than expected, a spot which would have gone to another youngster, Francois Kleinhans, if he was not ready.
Odwa Ndungane, who started the match last week but went off with a hamstring strain, is on the bench and is expected to be back to full fitness in time for the Cheetahs match next week.

Yet blood ties are the ones that bind, and Frank, hoping that his brother has changed, is willing to give him a chance – he shares his home, finds him a job, and helps him reconnect with his children and his ex-wife, Monica (Marion). But Chris' inevitable descent back into a life of crime proves to be the last in a long line of betrayals, and after his brother's latest transgressions, Frank banishes him from his life. But it's already too late, as the brothers' destiny is bound together, forever.

VML Winery
2010 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Chardonnay •Orsi Vineyard
California: Russian River Valley
Mission Briefing
The Final Hurrah
LIMITED QUANTITY ALERT: This wine will sell out early today, so please act quickly.
Very round and voluptuous, especially as the wine warms slightly in the glass, this fleshy, bright and complex wine is a lovely treat for any fan of more complex Chardonnay.
Bold, full on the palate and loaded with flavor, today's wine reminds us of the Chardonnays of Rombauer, Pahlmeyer, or Far Niente - at a far lower price. Especially when you consider today's Buy One, Get One price.
Today's 2010 VML Winery Russian River Valley Chardonnay is lush, full on the palate and loaded with flavor, all wrapped lovingly inside a velvet smooth container of soft fleshiness. Where a Rombauer may present a little too much oak for some people, this wine really holds the oak in great balance.
A real treat, today's wine is offered to our white wine fans with our heartiest recommendation. Especially at today's Buy One, Get One for $0.07 price!
Tasting Profile
Lovely light golden hues with perfect clarity and even coloration from the heart of the wine to the edge of the glass.
Lush and layered with Golden Delicious apple, green apple, orange blossom, hazelnut, comice pear, vanilla and creamed honey.
Soft and round with flavors of Meyer lemon, lemon curd, bosc pear, Granny Smith apple, crème brûlée and hints of mineral and tropical fruit, particularly at the end.
Very long, dynamic and filled with flavor, this wine leads with sweet and tart fruits that gradually give way to vanilla, flinty mineral and mixed tropical fruits that sustain to the very end.
Enjoy this wine with Agent Red's all time favorite dish from Bon Appetit Magazine, the delicious Roasted Chili Citrus Chicken Thighs with Mixed Olives and Potatoes (http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2010/10/roasted_chili_citrus_chicken_thighs_with_mixed_olives_and_potatoes#ixzz2RtqmkBMl. When he cooks this dish, he uses organic, free-range chicken breasts for more delightful and white wine-friendly flavors.
What the Winery Says
- 2010 Russian River Valley Chardonnay
- This classic Russian River Valley Chardonnay mainly hails from the Orsi Vineyard on Eastside Road in Healdsburg. This vineyard and the "See" Chardonnay clone planted there exhibit consistent characteristics of fresh Gravenstein apple, crisp acidity and crushed whet stones from the complex minerality from the rock and fossil components found in the soil. Honey, Elberta peaches, oak spice and cooked pears leap from the glass. Candied apple, orange blossoms, creme brulee, roasted hazelnut. Bosc Pear, and Meyer Lemon zest glide across the mid-palate leading to a refreshing finish that seems to never dissipate. Perfectly paired with panko crusted pan-fried abalone with beurre blanc.
- 91 Points, Anthony Dias Blue, Tasting Panel Magazine
- Virginia Marie Lambrix 2010 Chardonnay, Limited Release, Russian River Valley. Silky smooth and rich with lush texture, ripe fruit and a core of good acidity; long, elegant and nicely balanced.
About the Winery
Early in winemaker Virginia Marie Lambrix's career, the Russian River Valley served as her laboratory for developing an interest in the fruit and farming there. While winemaker and viticulture specialist for Truett Hurst in the Dry Creek Valley, Virginia expressed her fascination by making a little Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. The label distinction was made by using her initials, VML. After convincing one of her partners, Phil Hurst, to take a walk through some of the Russian River Valley vineyards she was familiar with, the notion of getting more deeply entrenched in the region came to pass.
As fate would have it, Bill Hambrecht, longtime Russian River Valley grape grower and vintner, was looking to breathe new energy into both his vineyards and winery in the Middle Reach of the Russian River Valley. The joining the team at Truett Hurst and these stellar properties was the foundation of VML Winery in the spring of 2011.
VML's Single Vineyard series wines are meant to capture the imagination by highlighting unique and beautiful pieces of terroir within the Russian River Valley. Virginia explains that the beauty of wines from the Russian River Valley is how they reflect the specific vineyard sites. The winemaker should stay out of the way of what the terroir expresses – guiding the fruit and resisting the temptation to manipulate the wines. The wines at VML let the vineyard sources speak for themselves. Despite the trend to tone down Russian River Valley Pinot Noirs, a force of nature in our vineyards delivers wines that are big, bold, and full flavored.

The Kachin independence movement in Myanmar said it would scale down its fighting after reaching a peace agreement with the central government in mid-October. Conflict in the restive northern state of Kachin has overshadowed political reforms made in Myanmar. The seven-point agreement, however, fell short of a formal cease-fire agreement.
Tomas Ojea Quintana, U.N. special envoy to Myanmar, told the United Nations' Integrated Regional Information Networks from Buenos Aires some of the ethnic communities are wary of their prospects.
"They have reservations in terms of the political structure of the country, which currently does not [allow] ethnic groups the participation they would like to have [in governing themselves], and regarding their [own political autonomy]," he was quoted as saying in an interview published Wednesday.
Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, earned praise for political reforms made since general elections in 2010. The envoy described the current government as a civilian-led administration transitioning to a democracy.
"As a human rights rapporteur, I would not say that it is a democracy yet," he said. "Democracy will take a long time."

By Barbara Floria, Pure Matters
The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. The lining of the esophagus can't handle these caustic substances, so the esophagus becomes inflamed and you feel symptoms of chronic heartburn, says the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Certain foods, smoking, alcohol, and some medications can make the condition more common. In addition, increased abdominal pressure because of obesity or pregnancy raises the risk for GERD.
What to look for
These are symptoms of GERD:
- Heartburn that feels like sharp or burning chest pain behind the breastbone, which may be worse when you eat, bend over, or lie down
- Tightness in the chest or upper abdomen, especially pain that wakes you in the middle of the night
- Backflow of stomach fluids into the mouth
- Nausea
- A recurring sour or bitter taste
- Difficulty swallowing
- Hoarseness, especially in the morning
- Coughing, wheezing, or repeatedly needing to clear the throat
If you have several of these symptoms, see your health care provider. Pain that feels like heartburn also can be a symptom of coronary artery disease.
What to do
To prevent the symptoms of GERD:
- Elevate the head of your bed at least 6 inches. If possible, put wooden blocks under the legs at the head of the bed or use a solid foam wedge under the head portion of the mattress.
- Avoid coffee, chocolate, fatty foods, whole milk, peppermint and spearmint, citrus fruits, tomatoes, and carbonated drinks.
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
- Don't eat for three or four hours before going to bed.
- Don't smoke or drink alcohol. These habits loosen the esophageal sphincter, making the backup of stomach acid more common.
- Lose weight if you're overweight. Obesity can make it harder for the esophageal sphincter to stay closed.
- Avoid tight-fitting clothes. They increase pressure on the abdomen.
How it's treated
Most people with GERD find relief with appropriate self-care and taking over-the-counter medications, such as Mylanta, Pepcid AC, or Zantac, or prescription medications, such as Nexium. People with severe GERD symptoms or people who have complications such as asthma or pneumonia may need surgery.

A web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. The W3C defines a "web service" as "a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically Web Services Description Language WSDL). Other systems interact with the web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards." The W3C also states, "We can identify two major classes of web services, REST-compliant Web services, in which the primary purpose of the service is to manipulate XML representations of Web resources using a uniform set of "stateless" operations; and arbitrary Web services, in which the service may expose an arbitrary set of operations.

Some months ago, another interesting record set appeared on Ancestry: "Alabama Convict Records, 1886-1952." I lecture on court records, so these types of records always get extra attention from me. If you watched "Slavery By Another Name" which aired on PBS in February, these type of records will come to mind. If you missed it, you can watch the whole episode online, but I highly recommend reading the book itself, which is much richer. I blogged about this book sometime ago. Also, Bill Moyer's interview with the author is quite good.
Alabama was one of the worst perpetrators of convict leasing in the decades after the Civil War. Now that I've traced my Fendricks and Springer ancestors back to Alabama, I'm on the hunt for record sets to review.
Ancestry includes a some information on the source; these records are state records, ledgers that were filled in by hand with varying degrees of detail. I perused these records for quite sometime. There were whites and blacks convicted, but I'd be curious as to whether the percentage of blacks convicted was higher. I saw a few women and some young teenagers that today, of course, wouldn't be incarcerated with adults.
Some of the records contain case numbers, and just to satisfy my curiosity I may one day try to find out more information about the crimes they were convicted for. I saw lots of larceny, grand larceny, assault, attempted murder and a few first degree murders. There were men convicted for running distilleries, which must have been rampant. I also saw a young black man convicted of rape, and his entry includes a date of death: I wonder if the rape was for a white woman and whether or not he was lynched? Most of the ones I viewed were eventually released. The prisoners are also referenced as being in certain "camps."
If you have Alabama ancestors that "disappeared" for a few years, check out these records. There is also a related database on Ancestry called "Alabama Death Record of State Convicts, 1843-1951". I didn't find anyone in my family (not yet anyway), but these were still a valuable part of the social history and landscape of our ancestor's lives.
Here are a few examples of the records I found (click on the image to see it magnified):

Pfeiffer's Student-Athletes to Host 4th-Annual "Dry Night" on Friday; A Night of Alcohol-Free Fun
April 11, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) at Pfeiffer University will sponsor its fourth annual 'Dry Night' beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, April 13th. "Dry Night" is an evening of substance-free activities that raises awareness about the negative impact of drinking and alcohol abuse on college campuses.'Dry Night' also demonstrates Pfeiffer's commitment to community outreach and longstanding mission of service, while benefiting a worthy cause in the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The night's activities will include the Mr. and Ms. Pfeiffer University pageant, food and Laser Battle (A mix between laser tag and paintball).
This event begins at 7:00 p.m. in the Merner Gym on the Misenheimer campus. Cost for this event is $5 at the door to see the Mr. and Ms. PU pageant and $8 in advance for pageant, t-shirt, and food. It will be $10 at the door for the pageant, t-shirt and food. All proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish, an organization that has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work.
Drinking among college students and other 18-to-24-year-olds has increased since 1998 and contributes to an estimated 1,700 alcohol-related unintentional student deaths per year, according to the latest National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism report. Annually, more than 696,000 students in the same age category are assaulted by another student who was drinking, and more than 97,000 students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assaults.
SAAC hopes to shed light on these serious statistics and situations in an inviting environment by offering an alternative to alcohol use. In three years, Dry Night has successfully raised over $3,500 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
For more information about "Dry Night" and the evening's activities, contact Brittany Cox, SAAC President, at email@example.com or call (336) 486-6999.

GARETH DUNCAN brought you live commentary from the Rugby Championship Test in Perth.
80 mins: The Wallabies hold on to possession. And as the hooter sounds, Cooper sits in the pocket and boots the ball into touch. THE WALLABIES WIN 26-19!
79 mins: After a couple of phases, Goosen loses the ball in contact. Wallabies defence stands strong at the death. That's that.
78 mins: Boks have a lineout in the Aussie 22m area. Last chance to avoid defeat.
76 mins: Sprinboks run some good ball carries, but eventually lose the ball forward in contact. Wallabies escape. South Africa should've gone for the points, with minutes still on the clock.
75 mins: With fullback Pat Lambie and flyhalf Johan Goosen pulled off the bench, the Boks are finding momentum on attack. They are awarded a penalty in a kickable area, but turn it down to search for the try. Brave decision.
72 mins: WALLABIES TRY! Australia find space down Mvovo's wing, and tighthead prop Ben Alexander rushes towards the tryline and dives over. Barnes converts the difficult kick. That could be the match-winning points. WALLABIES LEAD 26-19!
68 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! From the resulting touch finder, the Wallabies concede another penalty during a rolling maul. Morne Steyn steps up and slots the three-pointer. SCORES ARE LEVEL AT 19-19!
65 mins: MONUMENTAL TURNOVER! Wallabies were building great attacking momentum in the Boks' half, but No 8 Duane Vermeulen puts in a hard tackle and steals the pill. Wins the penalty for holding on.
61 mins: WALLABIES PENALTY! Springboks are guilty of a breakdown transgression in front of the posts, and Barnes boots Australia back into the lead. WALLABIES LEAD 19-16!
60 mins: From the resulting kick-off, Mvovo makes another mistake. The ball crosses the chalk off his boot as he fails to catch it, and the Wallabies are awarded a 5m scrum as Morne Steyn is forced to dot it down.
59 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Great long-range effort from Frans Steyn! Completes his second penalty. SCORES ARE LEVEL AT 16-16!
58 mins: WASTED OPPORTUNITY! The Springboks win a turnover in a promising position, and Pienaar finds replacement wing Lwazi Mvovo in space. But the flyer doesn't straighten the line, and takes up space. His offload to captain Jean de Villiers sees the outside centre forced into touch.
56 mins: WALLABIES TRY! Instant impact from reserve No 8 Scott Higginbotham. Minutes after running on to the park, he finds a gap in the Springbok guard to power over for the hosts' first try. Barnes adds the extras. WALLABIES LEAD 16-13!
53 mins: Springboks concede their second scrum penalty, again on their own feed. Wallabies kick play into the visitors' territory.
49 mins: Springboks are awarded a penalty from the resulting kick-off. However, Morne Steyn fails to find the target.
47 mins: WALLBIES PENALTY! Australia run 12 phases into the Boks' red zone. They struggle to edge nearer to the try-line and are relieved when scrumhalf Ruan Pienaar is penalised for offside. Barnes finds some rewards as he splits the posts. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 13-9!
44 mins: Beast is back on. Boks are back to 15 players.
43 mins: Morne Steyn tries his second drop goal attempt, but again, it fades wide. Not a bad option as it gives time for Beast to get back on to the field.
41 mins: Barnes gets the game going again, kicks deep to Morne Steyn. The Springbok flyhalf finds good distance in his clearance.
39 mins: Despite being a man down, the Boks have the upper hand. Good kicks and chips into the Aussie 22m area creating some problems.
35 mins: Barnes puts the Boks under pressure with a charge down. Good cover work from Kirchner, but the hosts still win possession. Boks let off the hook as Australia spill the pill. And at the scrum, the Wallabies concede a penalty.
33 mins: BIG BLOW FOR BOKS! Mtawarira blocks fullback Kurtley Beale as the Wallabies fullback gives a hoof ahead. And referee Nigel Owens pulls out the yellow. Poor play from the prop.
28 mins: WALLABIES PENALTY! The Springboks concede a penalty at the scrum, on their own feed. Big boost for the Wallabies front row. Barnes kicks his second penalty to cut the deficit to seven points. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 13-6!
26 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Frans Steyn kicks his first long-range penalty. Vital to get his first one over, after missing two at Newlands. Great start for the Springboks. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 13-3!
24 mins: Some off-the-ball stuff between the two teams as the Wallabies concede a penalty, which is in inside centre Frans Steyn's range. Locks Sharpe and Eben Etzebeth have a bust up, and the young second-rower nearly lands a head-butt on the veteran. It goes unpunished.
22 mins: Wallabies trying to match the Springboks' tactical kicking game, but are being dominated in this facet of play.
21 mins: SPRINGBOK TRY! After persistent pressure, the Boks finally cross the chalk. After messing up three other opportunities, Habana snipes the fringes low and quick, and crosses to score the first try of the game. Morne Steyn adds the extras. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 10-3!
20 mins: Great chase by Kirchner and he wins possession in the Wallabies' red zone. The Boks make good metres and are edging closer to the chalk.
17 mins: WALLABIES PENALTY! First points for the hosts as Barnes slots the easy kick. SCORES ARE LEVEL AT 3-3!
16 mins: Loosehead prop Beast Matwarira is pinned for not rolling away in a kickable area. Wallabies should open their score tally via inside centre Berrick Barnes.
15 mins: STRONG COUNTER RUCK! The Wallabies show they have the grunt up front, forcing a penalty with a powerful counter drive. The Springbok pack needs to step up.
13 mins: The early momentum is with the Wallabies. Australia run 10 phases into Springbok territory, but a poor decision to kick into space sees wing Francois Hougaard call for a mark. He clears the ball and relieves pressure.
8 mins: Springbok wing Bryan Habana gives fullback Zane Kirchner a poor pass after chasing Wallabies flyhalf Quade Cooper's chip through into the South African red zone. Kirchner does well to clear play under pressure. The Wallabies take a quick throw, creating a promising attacking opportunity, but the hosts spill the ball moments later.
4 mins: SPRINGBOK PENALTY! Yes, Morne can. It wasn't an easy kick, but the Bok No 10 enjoys a clean strike to hit the target. Impressive penalty shot. SPRINGBOKS LEAD 3-0!
3 mins: The Wallabies concede a penalty moments later, after being pinned for holding on at a breakdown in a kickable area. Can Morne Steyn kick the Boks into the lead?
2 mins: The Boks get an early attacking position, and Morne Steyn shifts into the pocket for a shot at goal. However, his drop goal attempt goes wide.
KICK-OFF: Springbok flyhalf Morne Steyn starts the game with a high kick-off, and it's taken cleanly by Wallabies Nathan Sharpe.

I've had these shorts for over a year. They're extremely comfortable, good compression, and have held up well. The labels peel easily, but that hardly affects the performance of these shorts. I've spend two times more money on a pair of shorts and not gotten better performance than from these shorts. Great product.
Comments about Bellwether Axiom Short 2013:
I really liked this short because of the fit as well as the high waist coverage. The elastic band is good. First time used.
