This bag is great, wasn't sure I'd like a backpack purse, and I don't, I LOVE it! Roomy, soft, nicely worn in, glad I bought it!
Saturday August 23 2014
Got the wine color. Leather had already soft & distressed texture. Backpack has a nice design with many useful compartments. I just hope it will be durable & last a long time.

And then if Wosname is a witch on the chalk then shouldn't there be a third one? I find this very disturbing - it bothered me all the way to work this morning.
And as to Granny Weatherwax getting too powerful - I would really like to know who would win in a contest between Granny and the Patrician?

Business Department Proximity to Resources
Eastern's Main Campus
The Business Department is located in the center of campus in Andrews Hall.
Recently recognized in the top 3 of 25 most Beautiful Christian Universities, Eastern University is revered as a top Christian University in PA with a safe, welcoming community of students, faculty and staff. EU's main campus offers multiple residence halls and academic buildings with amenities to accommodate its approximately 1,700 undergraduate students.
While Eastern's diverse student body regularly utilizes a full arsenal of residence life options, it is worthwhile to note the compliment of academic resources for EU students including the historic Warner Library adjacent to the Howard Harold Center, the fully-renovated McInnis Learning Center, Workman Hall for Music Majors, Andrews Hall and Bradstreet Observatory and Planetarium. Warner Library provides students plenty of study space, access to 65,000 periodical titles in paper and electronic format, 870,000+ microform items, and over 60,000 full text e-journals, including the most current and popular academic journals and resources. While students can access Eastern's professors' 360 publications and 280 articles in Warner, most students would much rather interact in person with our prestigious but accessible faculty. A 13:1 student-to-professor ratio means plenty of personal attention and mentoring for students within the College of Arts and Sciences.

Historic Main Line

Previously recognized by USA Today, Philadelphia and its suburbs have one of the top ten college communities in the nation. While there are around 40 colleges in Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs; 25% of those colleges, including Eastern, are within 15 minutes of EU. Eastern students can take the train from the St. Davids station (located adjacent to campus) and be in the city within 20 minutes. Current students, also, take advantage of Philadelphia's rich music scene and cheer on all the major sports. Weekend "road trips" to Washington DC and New York City are less than a 2.5 hour drive.

The largest town of Upper Franconia is grown historically as margravial residence and world-famous by the Richard Wagner festival, a modern economy, convention and university town on the way to the high tech center of the region today. Bayreuth's sights, its museums and its various cultural offer promise eventful days throughout the whole year.
Cultural variety
With the margravial opera house Bayreuth offers the probably most beautiful preserved baroque theater in Europe. It belongs to the UNESCO world cultural heritage since 2012. Charming castles, the historical park hermitage with its dreamy grottos and water games and the festival theater with his unique acoustics expect the visitor as well as a variety of interesting museums. Numerous music and theater festivals offer cultural pleasure on the highest standard.
Leisure facilities of the top class
Bayreuth has leisure facilities of the top class at its disposal, so for example the pleasure oasis Lohengrin thermal spring in an immediate neighborhood to the hermitage and to a 18 hole golf course. Neat hotels and inns load to relax and to forget the weekday. Franconian and international restaurants provide variety and palate joys.
Attractive surrounding countryside, best international
As a gate to the counter tele-mountains and to romantic Franconian Switzerland Bayreuth can well and fast be reached by the car via motorways A 9 and A 70. German airline Lufthansa provides best international connections with schedule flight connections via Nuremberg Airport. [2] Railway company Deutsche Bahn connects Bayreuth via the Franconia Saxony magistral with Nuremberg in hour intervals. In addition, the town maintains an efficient regional airfield.
Information exhibition at the margravial opera house opened
The world heritage information center [3] at the margravial opera house Bayreuth has opened its gates. The opening hours are daily from April until September from 9 AM-6 PM and from October until March from 10 AM - 4 PM.

Some people are going to great links to try and say a few cells is a living person..... Might as well not cut out tumors... And we might as well stop eating and killing any type of animal.. You know... since murder of any kind to you is apparently horrible.
Oh Plants. Stop hurting any plant ever. If you don't, you are just as horrible.
Remember, People are animals. We are a different form of animal than a dog, but an animal none the less. Plants live and breath and can even "think"/"communicate". So you should probably start just eating rocks and dirt.
So, now human life is a tumor. stop being drama queens and get to the real issue. The issue is that abortion is wrong, just like murder is wrong.
I just think it's wrong to call a baby a fetus because we are okay with murder. Semantics can kill because it brainwashes people into thinking murder is okay.
It should have nothing to do with any persons rights.
I do think the knee jerk reaction is funny of thinking I am republican and thinking I am right wing.
I don't listen to any of that garbage. I don't like Rush, Fox News, or on the left Rachael Madow. That is just junk news.
I want you to think, and give intelligent responses and think through this instead of the typical Liberal knee jerk responses
that I am a bigot or some redneck because I don't think the world revolves abound liberal views.

Stylish yet subtle, our Makeup Bag is a perfect way to carry all those little necessities for daily life. Great for both day-to-day activities and travel, we're betting it'll become your new go-to accessory! Made from top quality leather, this Makeup Bag has a spacious interior with a nylon lining and 2 pockets, giving you room for makeup, brushes, nail polish, keys, medicine, and other small things that we carry with us each day. We also include an exterior pocket for even more storage space, great for quick access to ID or credit cards. A zipper opening on the top and on the outside pocket keeps everything secure, so you won't have to worry about anything falling out. If you're looking for a new way to store your everyday items, you've found it with this Makeup Bag!
Our Classico leather collection is a semi-aniline, drum dyed pebbled leather. It offers a little extra color and character, making it a good choice when you want your accessories to stand out. This full grain leather has a soft hand feel with intricate lines, giving it a distinct look from our smoother leathers like Vero and Zita. It comes in a wide variety of colors that you won't find in our other collections and has a polished finish to make them really shine. Its unique appearance and range of colors make it ideal for matching with purses, belts, or other leather items you own.
I chose this make up bag because of the large size to accommodate all of my cosmetics, contact case, and eye drops. It is of excellent quality and soft, smooth, beautiful leather. The monogramming added a feminine, personal touch. I will proudly use this make up bag in my new Gucci handbag, and by the way, it is of better quality than the Gucci make up bag that I returned and it is a lot cheaper. I would highly recommend it and am thrilled to have found this company.
I love this bag a lot. It has plenty of room and made very well. I have now ordered 9 items from here in the past month and I have been very, very pleased with the items, the packaging and the shipping. If you are considering this for a gift the packing is as nice as the product. A sturdy bronze colored box with a tan micro cloth that looks like suede wrapping the item and tan tissue paper.
This zipper small leather bag is just what I was looking for. The quality of the components, especially the leather are first
I just might order more with different colors!
Leather is luxurious. Just the right size. Beautiful color. The packaging was luxurious. Will buy from Leatherology again.
very nice. just what i needed
Beautiful soft and arrived just in time for Christmas.
Beautiful butter-soft leather...similar to the leather of classic Coach bags back when they were doing simple tasteful leather bags. This makeup bag certainly holds plenty....it could hold a few lipsticks, a blush and powder compact, mascara, some feminine products, and still have room leftover. The items also arrived in a beautiful classy box with a suede chamois type cloth. The only slight negative about this is that the shape is a bit more manly than feminine. The shape is boxy...similar to what you might see for a men's toiletry case. But overall not a big deal...it's still a beautiful and very functional case. Makes a beautiful gift.
Arrived quickly. Seems to be good quality. Giving it as a gift, so gift box is nice.
This make up bag was a gift for our daughter's birthday. (She is 31 years old) It arrived in a beautiful box and she loved it. She felt is was the right size for her purse and for traveling as well. It is definitely quality and her initials on the bag really made it a special gift.
Gift, nicely made. Arrived quickly.
I bought this for my sister for her birthday and I almost kept it for myself except that I had put her initials on it. Great product, very roomy and soft I know this will last her a life time.
Love this bag; perfect size to hold all makeup needs and still fit into my purse. Great feel and color.
My wife is very pleased with the make up bag. Good size for travel and very well made. Thank you.
Surprise gift for the lady who has everything plus. She was astounded!
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Fascist America: Have We Finally Turned The Corner?
Research by Political Research Associates estimates that, at any given time in our history, roughly 10-12 percent of the country's population has been bred-in-the-bone right-wing authoritarians -- the people who are hard-wired to think in terms of fascist control and order. Our latter-day Christian Dominionists, sexual fundamentalists and white nationalists are the descendants -- sometimes, the literal blood descendants -- of the same people who joined the ...

Eleven-year-old Wang Han lives with his family in a remote village in Guizhou province. Life is tough, but they make the most of what little they have. When Wang is selected to lead his school through their daily gymnastic regimen, his teacher recommends that he wear a clean, new shirt in honor of this important position - a request that forces his family to make a great sacrifice. But one afternoon, soon after Wang is given the precious shirt, he encounters a desperate, wounded man, who takes it from him. The man is on the run, wanted by the authorities for murder. In no time the fates of Wang and the fugitive are intertwined.

- At Chipotle, ban the three C's: sour cream, cheese and chips. You'll save up to 800 calories in your meal, and if you add fajita veggies you're getting extra vitamin C.
- Love McDonald's? The hamburger clocks in with the lowest calorie count (250) while the Egg McMuffin works for breakfast at just 300 cals.
- Craving something cool, sweet and low-cal this summer? Try substituting Greek yogurt for ice cream and top it with fresh fruit.
- Cutting back on condiments can have serious health benefits – a single tablespoon of regular soy sauce has 400% of the recommended daily allowance of sodium.
- Considering an appetizer? Watch out – you'd have to climb all 1665 stairs to the top of the Eiffel Tower three times over to work off the calories in a certain flowering fried onion specialty.
- Let them eat…pie! Better for you than a bakery muffin, a fresh fruit pie (think blueberry, apple and cherry) offers vitamins and minerals you need.
What is fast food and why is it so popular?
Fast food is any food that is quick, convenient, and usually inexpensive. You can buy fast food just about anywhere that sells food and snacks. Vending machines, drive-thru restaurants, and 24 hour convenience stores are probably the most common places to find fast food. It's so popular because for under $5.00 you can usually get a filling meal. However, fast food is inexpensive because it is usually made with cheaper ingredients such as high fat meat, refined grains, and added sugar and fats, instead of nutritious foods such as lean meats, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
Is fast food bad?
There is no such thing as a "bad" food. All foods can fit into a healthy meal plan. It's true that fast food is usually high in fat, calories, cholesterol, and sodium, but eating fast food every once in a while is not going to cause you problems. If you eat too much fast food over a long period of time, though, it can lead to health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.
Is some fast food healthier than others?
Many fast food chains are revamping their menus to respond to customers comments. For example, some chains no longer serve foods with trans fat, and many have menu items that contain fruits and vegetables. If you are having fast food more than once a week, try to make healthier choices. Here are some tips:
- Choose foods that are broiled over fried such as a grilled chicken sandwich instead of fried chicken or chicken nuggets.
- Choose soups that are not cream based (For example: If the name of the soup includes the word cream, such as "Creamy Tomato Soup", avoid ordering it).
- Have low-fat salad dressings instead of the full-fat kind.
- Have a salad or soup instead of fries.
- Use mustard or ketchup instead of mayonnaise.
- Order smaller entrée portions. For example: instead of a large sub, try a small sub with a side salad or piece of fruit.
- If you are getting a side, order a small, or kid sized portion. A large fry has approximately 500 calories and 25 grams of fat, while a small fry has about 60% less fat and calories (230 calories and 11 grams of fat).
- When ordering a sub or sandwich, select leaner meats like turkey or grilled chicken instead of fried items such as burgers or steak, and cheese sandwiches.
- Choose water, low-fat milk, or diet sodas instead of regular sodas, fruit drinks, milkshakes, or whole milk.
- When ordering pizza, add veggies instead of meat, and get thin crust instead of deep dish.
- If fruits and veggies are available, try to add them into your meal. For example, have lettuce and tomato on sandwiches or burgers.
Where can I find nutrition facts about fast food?
Most fast food and restaurant chains post their nutrition information online. Use a search engine to find the companies web page. There is usually a link to the nutrition section on the home page where you will find nutrition facts, including fat, cholesterol, sodium, protein, calories, and more. Take a look at this information to help you make healthier choices when eating out.

Rejuvenating facials at Long Island spas
After a loooong, cold winter, it's the right time for a refresher course -- we're talking about your face. Skin gets dull, congested and D-R-Y during the colder months, and a facial is a wonderful rejuvenator.
But there's a lot going on in the world of skin care, and it seems that the days of the very basic facial are virtually extinct. So to learn about some variations on the theme, we went under the steam, the stone, the cream and, eeks, even the razor. And besides the relaxing, pampering experience (some more relaxing and pampering than others), the greatest benefit of all is beautiful, healthy skin.

CRESTVIEW — A first-year student responded to professor Jamal Brown's questions during an Introduction to Principles of Drug Action class at Florida A&M University's pharmacy school.
Wileta Luckett was sitting in a classroom in Crestview while Brown was in a lecture hall more than 150 miles away on FAMU's main campus in Tallahassee.
Using cameras and microphones in both places, Crestview students watch faculty lectures in real-time on high-definition television. They ask questions and talk with professors and their peers in the classroom in Tallahassee.
A "smart board" adjacent to the monitor in Crestview projects the same materials that Tallahassee students see.
As Luckett and her classmates prepared to take a quiz last week, they sat quietly with their test papers facedown on their desks and waited as Brown got the Tallahassee students settled down.
Finally, he looked into the camera and said in mock frustration, "Crestview, why can't they be like y'all?"
Such live interaction uses Cisco Systems' TelePresence, an audio-video "bridge" between the two campuses. Eight classrooms on each campus have the technology.
"FAMU faced pressure from the college accreditation board to show that its Crestview students would not be at a disadvantage while learning off-site from the College of Pharmacy's main campus in Tallahassee," Cisco stated in a case study of the local system.
Before adopting the system in Crestview, FAMU's technology staffers evaluated similar setups used by pharmacy schools at Auburn University, the University of Georgia and Wingate University in North Carolina.
When the college accreditation board evaluated Crestview's campus, it found that students there performed better than those who attended classes in person.
"The university partially attributes this finding to the Crestview students' quick adoption of the technology for the learning process, making the students more likely to go back online to consult past lectures and course materials to better obtain knowledge," the case study stated.
In addition to beaming teachers and students to and from Crestview, lectures are recorded and archived. That allows students to review material or see a missed lecture.
Student and faculty surveys found overall acceptance of the system, said Jason Mobley, FAMU's senior computer support spe-cialist in Crestview.
"The technology doesn't get in the way of the professor," Mobley said. "All he has to do is turn on his microphone and teach."
Dr. Margareth Larose-Pierre, FAMU's associate dean in Crestview, said the technology makes the pharmacy program possible because budget restrictions bar hiring additional faculty at the satellite campus.
"Without the technology, we wouldn't be able to offer the program," Larose-Pierre said.

The American Gas Association Peer Review Program is a voluntary peer-to-peer safety and operational practices review program that will allow local natural gas utilities throughout the nation to observe their peers, share leading practices and identify opportunities to better serve customers and communities.
The American Gas Association 2015 Playbook covers the history of natural gas, the challenges and opportunities of the natural gas industry, and the priority issues and strategies wit
The Natural Gas Industry Buyer's Guide has proven to be a valuable resource for association members and other industry professionals who use the Internet to locate products and services for the entire natural gas industry.
The AGA's nonprofit arm conducts research to create responsible public policy around natural gas.
You do not have access to this content.
The largest part of a natural gas customer's bill is the cost of the gas itself, over which the utility has little control. This cost accounts for about 41 cents of every dollar of revenue received by a distribution utility. The bill amount for the gas portion varies with price as well as amount consumed. Natural gas utilities also incur costs that are not dependent on a customer's consumption.
Natural Gas Industry Safety Programs
Because safety is the natural gas industry's top priority, the industry spends more than $6 billion each year to maintain the system's excellent safety record. Serious accidents on the natural gas delivery system are rare, but the natural gas industry is dedicated to making them obsolete.
Natural Gas Delivery System Materials
Through the decades, a variety of materials have been used to make natural gas pipelines. The selection of materials varies with the date the pipeline was placed in service, the diameter and pressurization requirements of the pipeline, and the characteristics of the local terrain. Listed below are the most common pipeline materials.
Steel Pipe
How Does the Natural Gas Delivery System Work?
Gas flowing from higher to lower pressure is the fundamental principle of the natural gas delivery system. The amount of pressure in a pipeline is measured in pounds per square inch.
From the well, the natural gas goes into "gathering" lines, which are like branches on a tree, getting larger as they get closer to the central collection point.

AGA files comments on federal building and appliance effieciency when it is determined that proposed regulatory acion impact its member companies.
Washington, D.C. – The American Gas Association (AGA) has filed a Freedom of Information Request with the U.S.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently issued a notice of proposed rulemaking for residential natural gas furnaces, which would mandate that all non-weatherized natural gas furnaces manufactured must have a 92 percent or higher efficiency rating. These proposed standards would eliminate efficient, non-condensing furnaces, causing an undue burden on, and significant costs for, many natural gas customers.

Embrace new ideas
When they say the Cleveland skyline is their resume, the Pinchot family isn't kidding. Their firm, Frank Novak and Sons Companies, has painted numerous Cleveland landmarks including Browns Stadium, the Key Tower and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Founded in 1912 by Frank Novak as a small residential painting company, a pivotal point for the company came when his son Frank Jr. took over the company and hired Allen Pinchot as an estimator in 1959. Pinchot started bringing in commercial work, and was made a partner in 1976. With the current management team of his wife Gayle and their children Brad, Mark and Pam, Pinchot has built the firm into one of Cleveland's top commercial painting contractors.
One key to growth: Each generation has built on the company's solid foundation by bringing new ideas to the table.
"We're always willing to try something new that helps us solve our customer's problems," says Pam Pinchot. That may include anything from better job-tracking software to more technologically advanced paint products. New high-performance coatings like ProMar 200 Zero VOC, Pro Industrial Acrylic Coating and Pro Industrial Pre-Catalyzed Water Based Epoxy coatings, for example, have been the answers to questions the company was fielding from architects on which products to spec to be in VOC compliance.
"We look to Sherwin-Williams for new products and equipment that help us become as productive as we can be," says Mark.
Diversify and conquer
This strong supplier relationship has also been a boon as the Pinchots embarked on new growth opportunities. When they opened their Flooring Specialties Division, for example, they learned they could count on Sherwin-Williams for the same expertise and service for commercial flooring as they do for paint.
"The synergy between the two has helped both divisions," Brad says. "About 10 percent of our flooring jobs today are done in conjunction with painting."
In their efforts to fulfill changing customer needs, the family has also added several other interconnected divisions such as acoustic panels, molded extruded parts and specialty ceilings. While growth is important, Allen says it's also critical to make sure you can manage and handle the jobs you have.
"Above all, treat the customer with honesty and integrity. Your reputation is everything in this business," he says.
The worst thing for a painting firm, Allen says, is to be underfinanced. "Even the best contractors will not survive if cash flow is poor. Try to make a profit on every job. That means knowing your costs! Be willing to walk away if the job won't make you any money."
Learn from past leaders
Founded in 1912 by brothers Alfred and Harry Ring, Ring Painting has seen significant growth from its origins as a small residential paint company in Martinsburg, West Virginia. David Ring, a 1999 graduate of Shepherd University, has been at the helm since 2005.
Two things are key to their long-term success, says David: "Building lasting relationships with local contractors and never leaving a jobsite until not only the customer was satisfied, but until we were satisfied with the final product as well."
As the fourth generation of the family to run the company, he says that "being able to pick my father's brain when I have a question or problem is an invaluable asset."
Chief among the lessons he's learned is to be honest and upfront with customers. "When inevitable problems arise, standing your ground is sometimes necessary, but always try to come to an amicable solution that will leave both sides happy," he says.
Ride the economic waves
The ability to anticipate and respond to the inevitable ups and downs of the economy is another key to long-term survival in the painting business.
"The recent downturn in the economy affected nearly every commercial contractor," Ring says. "We try to keep our crew between eight and 12 painters. Even though there have been opportunities to greatly expand over the years, we have tried to keep our business size at this level. We have seen many contractors overextend themselves financially and also lose the day-to-day oversight needed to run a successful painting business."
Like the Pinchots, he believes working with a quality paint supplier is crucial.
"Not only will a good supplier help keep your product costs low with great customer service and product knowledge, they can also logistically help you by delivering supplies when and where you need them," he says.
"Sherwin-Williams is willing to go the extra mile to help us with even the most menial tasks to help us complete a project. From matching stain samples to getting up on lifts to match colors 60 feet in the air, Sherwin-Williams does what needs to be done to please their customers."
Prime the next generation
Passing your business on to the next generation can be tricky. Ring has this advice:
"Make sure not to pressure them into thinking that it is the only career choice they have. Upon graduation from Shepherd University with a Business Administration degree, I was unsure on which career path I would follow. I was lucky enough to have a father that would show me the ups and downs of the contractor's lifestyle, but never once pressured me on what to do for a living. I ultimately chose to take over the business and it is one of the best decisions I have ever made."

6:30 A.M., MANHATTAN: My Scott Speedster hangs cyclocross-style off my shoulder as I navigate a warren of steep concrete steps and asphalt ramps to get from the bike path along the Hudson River Greenway to 158th Street. My plan to carefully calibrate my energy output is already kaput. I can't find the Gran Fondo New York start, which is hard to fathom since it's on the massive, 14-lane George Washington Bridge.
My only consolation is that I'm not alone. I just left some Brit dead-ended in a vacant lot, and I'm presently with a guy from British Columbia who actually practiced getting to the start yesterday and is lost for a second time. A comparative pro at fondos, he is preternaturally calm, having done Whistler's last year "pretty much right off the couch." He means that as a casual sentiment, of course—as in 100 miles, alpine climbs, it's all good, eh? But I take no comfort in that, even though I've been training for months. Maybe it's because I'm a soloist with reservations about big-group riding, and in particular big-group racing. Maybe it's because whatever is in everyone else's epic-ride-day DNA isn't in mine. Or maybe it's because when you can't even find the start line—or a boisterous crowd hailing from 50-odd countries—you naturally wonder if you belong at all.
"Look over there," the Canadian blurts, pointing toward pulsing blue NYPD lights. "There it is." He's right: Hundreds of black-and-lime-green-Giordana-jersey-clad cyclists are streaming up a closed two-lane stretch of Riverside Drive. A runway configuration of flares leads us onto the bridge's lower ramp, past an Escalade whose VIP owner is at the hatch, hurriedly donning a heart-rate-monitor strap and red BMC team jersey. It's 15-time Tour de France veteran George Hincapie, who decided on a whim that a Queens-born bike racer shouldn't miss this.
Soon we're jammed onto a three-lane-wide stretch of the GWB, a sunrise clan of more than 2,000 cyclists in a how-cool-is-this reverie. A Harlem gospel singer named Arlethia belts the national anthem and helmet cams blink green above heads. Many ogle small-production Italian frames next to them. I feel my muscles steeling. Whatever happens over the next six or seven hours, I know something I didn't 15 minutes ago: why I want to be here. This might be the finest-looking gruppetto ever to hit New York. What I still don't know is whether I belong.
Like many who follow cycling, I'd heard about the fondo craze, and like many others I wasn't sure what to think. I was seduced by the evocative name (the Italian gran fondo translates roughly to "big ride") and old-country roots, but uncertain about the format, which mixes a mass start and timed racing with bagel-stocked rest stations. Is it a race or is it a ride?
When I spoke to Gran Fondo New York organizer Uli Fluhme prior to the May 8 event, he did his best to explain the unexplainable. The fondo is a robust, full-bodied, pro-flavored event that treats sporting dilettantes like something better, he said. The buzz-worthy GW Bridge start was just the tip of the proverbial cannoli. In bringing a gran fondo to the Big Apple, Fluhme used one of the grandest of the 300-odd Italian events—the fabled, 9,000-rider-strong Maratona dles Dolomites—as his reference point. The bagels are a concession to New York but the event's spirit is closer to the extreme Italian model. He wanted to go Maratona-big, or not at all. He held a press conference last spring in Milan to invite, well, Italy.

"Compassion is Invincible" is a statement I saw on another website--one with Vegan friendly items. The Herbivore Store. For me, that statement says it all. I'm not a hippie throwback to the 60's wanting to have "free love", but a big part of my reason for going vegan is to reduce my carbon footprint. I'm also a member of the Sierra Club. Certainly if I were willing to live like the Amish I'd reduce my carbon footprint, but I'm not willing to go that far. Who else is like minded?

My son calls me a granola because I am not into "free love, sex, and rock and roll" haha.
I have long (over 22 years) been on a path to living green, treading lightly and kindly. I try to be thankful each day, do no harm in my life. I live a peaceful life and am so grateful for it.
Living this way has earned me a lot of nicknames, hippy, dippy hippy, granola, earth-on, tree hugger, greenie, herbivore, (wavy-haired, birkenstock wearin, bird sead eating....blah blah blah) you get the idea. And of course there have been many that were not kind. For those people, I get to try out the philosophy that the negative people are good teachers in our life, giving us an opportunity to extend compassion, nonjudment and the reminder that you have to "take" offense to be offended. It is all a journey and I want mine to be kind.
Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.
like you I've become painfully aware of my carbon footprint. I try to live my life in a way that is sustainable as possible. I ride my bicycle to work, 18 miles round trip and the days I don't, I take the bus. I've been teased about my diet and my habits, but I don't mind. I'm also aware that living in Seattle, I'm surrounded by like-minded folks that think this way. So hat tip to people that live in communities that don't have farmer's markets or natural food stores or co-ops and live this way.
I joke that I'm a hippie because I'm all about living with as little impact as possible. That is one of the big reasons I am a vegan. Its better for me, better for the animals, better for humanity, and better for the environment. How can one lose??
- AmandaBe the change you wish to see in the world...
I just wanted to share with all my new vegan friends this essay and to say how proud I am of you. Thank you for teaching me about this wonderful lifestyle. I feel much more connected with everything, like this is a secret pack we have all made with each other to be the best we can be and draw strength from that.
Anyway, here's the essay....
I love it!!! Way back when I was in elementary school, I was in the mind-set of "nurture and protect" our world. I got in trouble with my parents for riding my bike to go take pictures of an illegal dump site for a school project. I told them if they didn't want me to do that they'd have to drive me to places to take pictures. (I was a stubborn kid!)

The Center for Wellness Medicine provides functional medicine programs for adult men and women of all ages.
The Center strives for healing from the inside. Care is coordinated by Advance Practice Nurse Christina Jackey, whose philosophy is to take care of chronic imbalances before they become disease states. In this innovative program, a team of certified professionals evaluates the patient's total health to identify and address hormone, adrenal, thyroid and other imbalance issues. Following thorough consultation and testing to understand the person's unique issues, Jackey recommends specific therapy to bring the body back in balance. This may include hormone re-balance therapy using natural hormones that are customized and compounded, just like those made by the body. Some clients benefit from dietary supplements, vitamins, proteins and probiotics. Her recommendations complement the medical care that patients are already receiving.
The Center for Wellness Medicine focuses on providing care for men and women who may need treatment for the following symptoms:
The Center for Wellness Medicine previously focused on the needs of
midlife women and was known as the Center for Midlife Women. The center
still addresses the unique needs of women during their transitional
years, the period of time when a woman begins to experience menopausal
symptoms, even though she is still having a menstrual cycle. Many of the
functional medicine principles, however, also apply to younger and
older women and to men.
At least one field is required.

PACE Advanced
Admission Program
Plan a College Education (PACE)
High College seniors who are committed to a career in nursing may apply for admission to Jefferson College of Nursing through PACE, our advanced admission program. If accepted into this program, students are guaranteed admission in our prelicensure BSN program for the fall semester of their junior year in college provided the PACE students:
- Complete all prerequisite courses at an accredited college or university before beginning their studies here and
- Maintain a grade of C or better during their first two years of college and
- Maintain a 3.0 cumulative and science GPA.
Jefferson maintains formal transfer agreements with select two- and four-year colleges. High College students are encouraged, but not required, to attend a college that that has a formal transfer agreement with Thomas Jefferson University. By attending one of these institutions, students can be assured that it offers all courses necessary for transfer to Jefferson.
Students accepted into the PACE program are invited to select Jefferson College of Nursing events prior to their enrollment, such as PACE Picnic, PACE Advising Day and Shadow Day.

When Denver Whittington, a 2004 Anderson University alumnus, graduated from high school, he planned to stay close to his hometown of Anderson, Ind., but did not know where his degree from AU would take him.
"As long as I can remember, I've wanted to be a physicist of some kind," Whittington said.
Whittington is a member of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider located at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and collaborates with members of the D-Zero experiment at Fermilab's Tevatron collider. He is currently teaching at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., where he recently earned his doctorate in high-energy particle physics.
"We have followed Denver's academic and professional career with interest and are excited to celebrate his successes in his field," said Ben Davis, director of alumni relations at AU. "He is one of several alumni working in STEM areas [Science, Technology, Engineering, Math] who have experienced major breakthroughs in research and educational achievement."
While at AU, Whittington majored in both physics and mathematics. He had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant during his time at AU, helping students during science labs. Although he only assisted professors during this time, Whittington knew from that point that teaching was something he wanted to do.
Today, Whittington is a professor at Indiana University and teaches a class entitled "How Things Work," an introductory physics class for students who are not physics majors. In addition, Whittington operates a blog called OutlierBlog: Emanations from the Mind of a Science Geek, which students can use as a resource for his class.
After taking a particularly interesting history class with Dr. Brian Dirck, Whittington knew he wanted to add a minor in history. "I can't emphasize enough the importance of a liberal arts education," said Whittington, highlighting that Dirck taught him things he may not have learned if he had been focused only on his science and math classes.
Science and math classes were instrumental in Whittington's career. He worked closely with now-retired Chemistry and Physics Department chair Dr. Dale Bales and participated in undergraduate research. Once, Whittington and Bales used an old satellite dish to create a radio telescope.
Whittington enjoys helping students succeed the way Bales did for him; he passed all parts of the doctoral qualifying exam on the first try, a feat not many can claim. Just two years after graduating from AU, Whittington became a member of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland, where he lived for two years. ATLAS is one of the largest experiments in the world, involving more than 3,500 scientists.
Very few universities can claim alumni who have worked with the Large Hadron Collider, one of the most intricate and intellectually demanding physics projects in the world. As director of alumni relations, Davis is proud to tell AU community members about Whittington's journey. "AU thrives on the accomplishments of our graduates like Denver, who demonstrate that this is a place where you receive first-rate academic preparation, no matter what you are studying," he said.
— Courtney Hoyle is a senior from Munster, Ind., majoring in marketing and minoring in public relations. Hoyle is an associate with Fifth Street Communications®, writing on behalf of the Anderson University Office of University Communications.
Anderson University is a private Christian university of 2,600 undergraduate and graduate students in central Indiana. Anderson University continues to be recognized as one of America's top colleges by U.S. News and World Report, The Princeton Review, and Forbes. Established in 1917 by the Church of God, Anderson University offers more than 65 undergraduate majors and graduate programs in business, music, nursing, and theology.

Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 15 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Apes Hit or Miss I instantly fell in love with these sandals when I saw them on the website! Unfortunately the love ended when I received them in the mail. These sandals run very large. I normally wear a size 10 but based off of the previous reviews, I ordered a 10 and a 9.5. Neither of them fit, the 10 was way too big and the 9.5 were still a bit loose. I was willing to overlook the slightly loose fit but I couldn't overlook the poor quality. They were delivered with the beaded strands coming undone! If those came undone what other part of them will come apart? Also the main silver beaded piece was off-center on both pairs. I just had to return them and I'm still devastated by the loss. 6.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by s3wilson SOO COMFY! These shoes are so incredibly comfortable, with a bit of arch support and sueded foot bed. LOVE LOVE. Run a bit big however. About a half size to one whole size large. Size down a bit. 4.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CanadianGirl22 LOVE THESE!! Exactly what I expected. Really cute with all of the beading detail. They fit perfectly length wise, but a have a little room width wise. I have more narrow feet, size 6.5 and they still fit great, but would also fit someone with wider feet. 11.22.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams soulful supercomfy sandal got the very last pair...natural color and i absolutely love tham. Tthe OTBT soles are so comfy, on my narrow foot i needed to size down from my regular 6 to 5.5, and they still fit a little on the loose side, could possibly have used a size 5 if available - very comfortable. would have preferred one of the darker colors, desert or taupe but they are completely extinct so i will keep these...was worried the the embellishments would look like a giant spider on the very light background but my fears were unjustified. Phew. Know i will use these for a long time even though needle and thread might be in the cards for me as they might a bit fragile when it comes to the embellishments judging from other reviews.. 6.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ashleighhodges Love, Love, Love!!!! Wow! I absolutely love these sandals.... I will be wearing these a lot over the Spring and Summer months. They are fun and pretty and different... and as a bonus, very comfy! 3.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by born2shop Very Nice Unfortunately, these sandals run a 1/2 size to a full size to big. I'm returning a 6 1/2 in the natural in the event someone is waiting for that size. I take a size 7 and took the advice from other reviews, however, upon ordering 1/2 size down, the sandal was way to big. Also, we aware that it's not an ankle hugger. Waiting for a size 6 to come back in stock and will reorder. 11.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Podling Powwow sandals! I love these sandals I bought both colors one pair for me and one pair for my little sister. I took the other reviewers advise and ordered a half a size down and I'm glad I did. I usually wear a size 9 and bought the 8.5 and they fit perfectly. They are also super comfy, we both love our new sandals. 10.28.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sierra_Sunrise LOVE THESE!!! These are super fun, cute, and comfortable, comfortable, and comfortable! They run true to size. I got the natural color. Did I mention how comfortable they are?? 10.18.2012

Ribbed M Stockings
Also found in:
♠ Thigh Highs ♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Terry ♠ Ribbed ♠ Made in the USA ♠ Eco Friendly ♠ Kilt Socks ♠ Autumn ♠ Winter ♠ Warm! ♠ Larger Feet
Thigh-high and ribbed, for warmth and comfort when you need it most! These stretch wonderfully and look great while doing it. The feet are terry-lined for extra cushiness and moisture-wicking. Made in the USA.
About 37 inches from heel to top before you put them on, less once they stretch to go on your legs. These should fit a standard medium range & smaller, fitting 22 inch thighs snugly*. We found that, thanks to the ribbing, these stay up quite well!
Fits US Women's shoe size 7-12 (men's 5-10), though smaller feet could wear them if you're not fussy about where the heel lies. A wash in hot water should shrink them down a bit.
*Some batches have only 20 inches of cuff stretch. If you are concerned as to whether a certain color will fit you please don't hesitate to email us before you order and we'll happily test the stretch of any color for you.
Additional Info: Please note that as shown in the images, the ribbing only goes down to the ankles, not all the way to the toes. Reviewed by our shipping guy Bsti 2/4/05
Fiber Content: 65% recycled cotton, 15% acrylic, 20% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: DreaM Stockings
Is it possible to have these made in plus size? These are so perfect but I can't find anything like these for thicker/curvier legs.
I have a question about sizing, do I order in my shoe size or my measurements?
For the quantity, is that how many pairs of socks or a single sock? For example: if I wanted a pair, do I select 1 or 2?
These come in only one size, corret? so how small or big does it actually fit? will they fall off if im a size zero? or will they not go over my calves if im a size five or up?
Was just recently referred to your store. You guys seem to be out of stock of basically everything I'm interested in :c Will you be restocking soon?
I've been dying for thigh high socks for sooo long! Seeing this site really got me excited. But I was upset to see that the black ones are 4 inches shorter than the other colors. I'm 5'7 and I want them very long. Will the 4 inch difference affect me?
Is the dark red really that "faded" as it is shown in the picture or is it brighter in person?
Does the recent batch of pink Ribbed M Stockings have the 19-20 inch cuff stretch?
My son made Honor Roll, and when we told him he could have anything he wanted as a "way to go" gift, he grabbed the computer and started shopping for socks. Just though you'd like to know that even 12-year-old boys cannot resist the awesomeness that is Sock Dreams!

I had ab awful time with comments as well, but after investigating, found that if I updated to google chrome, it would work. And it did! Now I look at blogs only through chrome, and it works beautifully. You know I haven't posted for a long time, but I will eventually. I looked at the new blogger, and I thought I'd gone crazy. It took me awhile to find how, but I changed it back to the old and don't intend to change to the new yet. Don't give up; we can learn it together!!

What I said was that I hope you don't give up. Since changing from Firefox to Chrome I have had no problems.
The new Blogger is OK once you've played around with it a bit. Let me know if I could help at all.

Hope you change your mind and don't close your blog. But google does have free websites that are templates you change to suit your own needs. You can even add paypal buttons to it to sell your socks and so on. i see I have to sign in below to leave this comment on your blog. S. Watson

HALE, The Gathering, T-2 days...
Note that on mission day, there should be live tracking of both balloons as well as Lil' Joe. The Balloon radio payloads will transmit about once a minute (and will include altitude data), while the three SPOT units will transmit about once every ten minutes, and send back no altitude data (they are there for payload recovery, not primarily airborn tracking). I will be following the mission in detail as well as possible from home, (& blogging it), but you can as well by following the links on the HALE website.
PS- The first picture is all or most of the payloads staged for launch - can you figure out which is which?

Now where can I get myself a black NXT from.. that is smart! (is it really black or just painted?)

I don't know (& can't tell from the picture). But it does look interesting. I'm honestly not sure who all the payloads "belong" to, but I can recognize my own two, and the 2nd-from-the-left one is the LUXPAK one. By process of elimination that's got to be either the FLL teams, the "separate student payload", or perhaps Brix-Catcher or the LEGO teams' entry. I don't think it can be Peeps-in-Space (because I see no room for a marshmallow "Peep") or Reel-E (it would have a Wii tethered below it).
I've got to agree, it does look cool, but I hadn't noticed it when I first posted.

mostlikely is the device with the black NXT from the:
Tufts University Barbara Bratzel and Chris Rogers ( Mass - USA )
A group of 4th grade students want to investigate the impact of the flight conditions on yellow marshmallows (a.k.a. peeps). The NXT will be recording temperature and pressure during the mission.
