Rated 4 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by yyyyym huge!! the color is great, the fabric is ok. it's loose fit, but still too big!!! just returned it. 1.10.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by mem93 love it! loved this sweater, bought it in black! It is a classy animal print, not flashy at all. It is a little boxy, but not in a bad way. It's lose enough to wear something under it, and be perfectly comfortable. Can dress it up for down, super cute! 12.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by JTH Love! This is a great sweater! I love it, I wish I could wear it everyday! I got the peach and cream version. It is a bit boxy but is still flattering, but I like baggy tops anyway. Perfect for this fall and winter. 11.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Elysia Definitely Cool... I usually wear a medium but I bought the xs. For reference I am a 36B 26" waist and 5'8. I loved the peach color/cream color, looks great with anything! 10.10.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sora Excellent Pullover! Yes, this is a very boxy sweater and it definitely disguises your figure; I'll agree with that immediately. That's what I like about it -- it's a perfect contrast to a bodycon or skinny jeans, and great for eating pizza in c; I personally like the fit and feeling over an oversized sweater paired with skinny pants, tight knee boots and layered tops. It has a very distinct feeling of being adventure-ready and carefree, which is something I really associate with the FP brand and why I've been a loyal buyer for five years. As far as the piece goes, it's warm, thick, luxurious and comfortable, and the brown and black colour (which I purchased it in) looks so cozy and snuggly. Great piece to pump up a solid outfit. Everyone needs something like this for fall. 10.6.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by cbags92 Boxy This sweater is beautiful. The colors are pretty and the fabric itself is very expensive feeling and thick. I wanted it to fit so badly. The neckline is great, it is wide and looks very flattering, and the sleeves fit great. The length of the sweater is also perfect, but there is one major flaw. The sweater is SO boxy. It is so wide and hides any shape that I have. I'm on the small side... 5'4", 110 lbs, 32B. But the XS made me look like I had no curves. If it was cheaper I would love to buy it and alter it, but it's too expensive to justify altering. 8.20.2012

Hanahan Middle School Principal Robin Rogers has received a special honor in his 13th year as principal.
That award is the Palmetto's Finest distinction that HMS has won.
"We're walking pretty high right now," Rogers said. "We had to submit a 20-page application in August. From there they processed all the applications of the state.
"If you made it through that you were named as getting a visit. We received the first visit. We received a second visit in late February."
A different team of school administrators from around the state made two visits to the school.
"No room was left unturned," Rogers said. "They have a rubric they fill out . . . community involvement, leadership, instruction, student achievement."
When time for the big announcement came the afternoon of March 11 several employees and members from the Berkeley County School District office, parents and students gathered in the media center to watch the SCETV broadcast in which they were announced a winner.
"We celebrated," Rogers said. "Everybody was happy, ecstatic. The whole faculty. Parents, students, community members.
"As soon as they announced it everybody jumped up and clapped, hugged, cried . . . just to know the process you went through is one thing but to know the dedication and hard work and pride faculty kids and community have in school on a daily basis. the award validates all the hard work the community does."
Rogers was presented with a plaque and banner.
HMS has previously won awards such as the Blue Ribbon Lighthouse School of Excellence and was named a Red Carpet School.

The recurring theme for the March 19 meeting appeared to be looking at every possible scenario but the option of countywide curbside service.
Commissioner Tommy Robinson began the meeting by stating that it is the consensus of board members to abandon the idea of countywide curbside service. He said now the focus is saving money in how the solid waste is currently handled.
The total budget for the convenience centers is $933,635 for 2013.
Robinson said the hope is to be able to close the convenience centers a few days a week, depending on their usage. The board members were presented two options that had been put together by Angie Frazier, recycling center supervisor and dispatcher, and Public Works Director John Lowe.
Option one looked at closing the centers of Haddock, Highway 18 East, and Juliette for an additional two days a week, Wednesday and Thursday. The annual savings for the county would be approximately $38,000. The issue the board was looking at was reducing the hours for part-time employees.

Make Your Own Gragger
Instructions for constructing a Purim noisemaker
By Richard Siegel
We Also Recommend
Reprinted with permission from The Jewish Catalogue: A Do-It-Yourself Kit, edited by Richard Siegel, Michael Strassfeld and Susan Strassfeld, published by the Jewish Publication Society.
For kids, try putting some stones or hard beans [or jelly beans] between two paper bowls or aluminum foil cups. Seal the circumference with staples and decorate.
It may be possible to buy a large wooden gragger (much noisier than the metal ones) that is just like one of those that were used in the old country. These often disguise themselves as "police rattles" (which were used to call other policemen) and hide out in antique stores.
If you are a bit more ambitious, you might want to make a Franklin Gragger [designed by Leon Franklin, member, JCC, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania]. This was another of the crafts projects undertaken at the Wilkes-Barre Jewish Community Center under the direction of Sy Hefter.
Tools Needed
Electric drill with 1/2″ and 1/16″bits
Coping saw, jigsaw, or band saw to cut gear
Hammer, plane, sandpaper
Hand saw
Supplies Needed
One dowel 1/16″ x 1″ (for locking pin)
One tongue depressor 3/4″ x 6-1/4″ (available from doctor or drugstore)
One dowel 1/2″ x 5-1/2″ (for handle)
Two pieces soft white pine lath 9-3/4″ x 1-3/8″ x 1/4″
One block soft white pine 3-1/8″ x 1-3/8″ x 3/4″
Four brads
One hardwood wooden spool 1-1/2″ diameter and 3/4″ wide with a 1/2″ center hole (for gear). Available from shoe factory, usually discarded, called the center spool from a 3/4″ shoe gear.
Procedure for Making Franklin Gragger
1. Cut two pieces of lath to length.
2. Mark center line and drill 1/2″ hole through both lath pieces.
3. Mark spool and cut for eight teeth. Use jig, coping, or band saw.
4. Position spool on dowel and drill 1/16″ hole through both.
5. Insert 1/16″ dowel in hole to pin gear to 1/2″ dowel. Cut off excess.
6. Mark center on 1-3/8″ side of block and cut 1-1/2″ slot with hand saw (to hold depressor).
7. Insert tongue depressor into slot. Force fit. DO NOT NAIL.
8. Assemble:
a. Place lath pieces on both sides of gear through 1/2″ holes. Check for free movement. If too tight, ream 1/2″ hole.
b. Place block with tongue depressor between laths and adjust so that the gear will turn with the tongue depressor at its maximum.
(1) Be certain that tongue depressor is perfectly centered.
(2) Hold in this position and put 4 brads through each side into base block.
9. Finish by planing or cutting off excess wood edges, sand to fine finish, paint or stain. Design and colors can be as original as possible.

We all remember our first Relay for Life event, and if not you need to attend one. We found a community that welcomed all. We found a place where we could celebrate the lives of people who had survived cancer and remember those we had lost. At Relay we found friendship, healing and empowerment.
Relay for Life is how we fight back against cancer, both symbolically and literally. The steps we take represent the battle a cancer patient faces on the path to recovery, and the donations we collect to ensure that the American Cancer Society's missions to eradicate cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service can continue.
The Pushmataha County Relay for Life Committee Members and Team Captains would like to extend a personal invitation to the ENTIRE Pushmataha County population to join us in this fight against cancer this Friday (May 6) at 7 p.m. at the Bearcat Football Field in Antlers. If you are a cancer survivor and have never attended our Relay, please attend, we would love for you to be with us.
All you have to do is attend the Relay is show up. Survivor registration will be at 5:30 p.m., the Survivor Lap will start at 6:00 p.m. and the Survivor Dinner will be at 6:30 p.m. Relay will get kicked-off at 7:00 p.m. and there will be lots of activities, entertainment and food for the entire night until 7:00 a.m. when we will go home and sleep. Why all night? Cancer never sleeps, neither will we!
Please support those working hard to raise money for research and the programs available, so that one day, hopefully in our lifetime, we may d hear the words, "We have Found a CURE!" This is our goal!

To show how different MBA programs use social media to attract new students, the business organization Online MBA Page.com has published a list of the 100 most social friendly MBA schools. While these students were mastering business administration, they were also mastering social media.
The editors researched the Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest, and Flickr accounts of 400 business schools to select the top 100. Each school was graded on a 100-point scale based on follower counts and/or the number of posts and likes.
Here are the top 10:
Stanford University Graduate School of Business
Harvard Business School
The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business
University of Virginia Darden School of Business
Columbia Business School
Thunderbird School of Global Management
Rice University Jones Graduate School of Business
University of Central Florida College of Business Administration
Mays Business School, Texas A&M University
Business school may not seem like the place for lolz with colleagues over the latest "Gangnam Style" parody, but some of these colleges earn extra points for creativity. The Columbia Business School has a pretty sweet Pinterest page, complete with a 1986 Hermes alumni magazine cover featuring Mr. T.

More people learn the truth about Kiki's parentage, Ava and Tracy try to come up with a new plan, and Sabrina and Felix get suspicious about Britt's mom.
At the hospital Patrick tells Morgan and Carly that the tumor was removed completely and Franco's prognosis looks good. "I can't wait to tell my fiancée," Morgan tells Carly. She bites her tongue and encourages him to do that. Sam arrives and Carly tells her Franco is alive. They hug each other, excited for Danny. Carly asks Patrick if she can see Franco. He warns her they don't know what kind of shape Franco will wake up in. Later, Sam asks Patrick how soon Franco can be ready for the transplant. Patrick has bad news. Franco might have cancer and transplanting those cells into Danny will only make him worse. He encourages her to continue her search for a donor.
The votes are tallied at ELQ - in favor of AJ. Someone flipped and Alice admits she voted for AJ. Tracy reminds Alice about her promise to Luke to always side with her. It came down to family for Alice, and Luke isn't family. Alice calls Tracy a bully for even having the vote while Franco is in the hospital. Tracy goes for Alice's throat but Alice has her in a sleeper hold in seconds. Kiki taunts Ava for her plan failing. Michael and Kiki hug just as Morgan walks in. He asks Michael to congratulate him on his engagement before telling Kiki that Franco is awake. Sonny calls Morgan, demanding to see him and he leaves. Then, AJ throws Tracy and Ava out. Tracy warns him this isn't over and fires Alice. AJ kisses Liz and they make plans to celebrate.
Dr. Obrecht finds Britt outside The Floating Rib and warns her people are plotting against her. Sabrina walks up and asked to be introduced to Britt's friend. Britt pretends they have never met. Sabrina hopes Britt is drinking decaf for the sake of the baby and leaves. Obrecht is impressed that Sabrina at least acknowledged her existence and knocks Britt's manners. Obrecht goes on about Sabrina's simple beauty, although she can't compare to Britt even if she looks fat. Britt gets upset and Obrecht urges her to calm down and sit, even though she looks bigger when sitting. Obrecht thinks Britt is being outdone by amateurs. Britt is ready to cut her losses and tell Patrick the truth. Obrecht accuses her of falling for her new Prince Charming, huffing and puffing in Lamaze. Britt turns the tables and taunts Obrecht for not getting the man she loved. Patrick will be more interested in this baby than either Obrecht or her father were in Britt. Obrecht slaps Britt and isn't sorry about it, even if Britt is right. Obrecht wants her to succeed where she failed because of what they have done to make sure of it. But if she doesn't love Patrick there is no point going forward. Britt does love him, but it's hard loving someone who doesn't love you back. And they both know this isn't his baby.
Inside the Rib Felix tells Sabrina that Brad confirmed Britt - and her mother - have been hiding something about the baby. Sabrina thinks she just saw Britt's mom and tells him about her encounter outside. There was definitely a creepy resemblance. But what would she have to do with this? Felix tells her about Britt's joke that her mom holds people hostage and does experiments on them. Sabrina questions whether it's a joke.
At Sonny's, Connie complains that she needs a big, sexy story by the end of next week to save the paper and Crimson. She plans to follow up with Michael about trouble at ELQ. Later, Sonny doesn't believe Morgan's explanation of love for why he is getting married so young. Is she pregnant? Is it the gambling? Morgan spills that he will lose her to Michael if he doesn't.
Connie arrives at ELQ and Michael tells her a takeover didn't happen. Connie wonders if there is any dirt at all but the vote is confidential. She leaves and Michael offers to take Kiki to the hospital. She isn't sure she can trust herself but agrees.
Franco wakes up to Carly in his room. She is glad he's alive and he reaches out his hand to her.
Ava has heard good things about the BLTs at Kelly's. Tracy doesn't care about BLTs. She wants to be CEO of ELQ and barring that she wants some LSD so she can forget this nightmare PDQ. Ava tells her to buck up and wonder whose 5 percent they can steal. Tracy wants Ava to get Kiki to vote with her. Ava thinks that will be a problem considering the vote they just had while her father was having brain surgery. Tracy had been desperate to find Kiki but now she has ruined all of her plans. If only she wasn't a Quartermaine. She wonders if there are any other candidates for Kiki's dad but Ava is positive that Kiki is a Q.
Connie returns to Sonny's and overhears Morgan tell Sonny that Kiki is not a Q.
Tomorrow's Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:
Sonny won't make Morgan any promises.
Felix asks Spin to get the lowdown on someone.
Patrick will love the baby as much as he loves Emma.

Companies warn against winter heating dangers, offer helpWritten by Bailey G. Dick | | firstname.lastname@example.com
With winter on its way, many Toledoans are looking for cost-effective ways to heat their homes. And officials from two local organizations want to keep customers who may be resorting to unconventional heating methods safe from potentially hazardous situations.
The American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio and Columbia Gas of Ohio have teamed up to offer safety tips for customers who may be using alternative heating sources like space heaters or an open oven.
"This is the time of year when it starts to get really cold and people start looking for different ways to keep themselves warm. We see a huge spike in fires this time of year," said Amanda Aldrich, a spokesperson for the American Red Cross of Northwest Ohio.
According to the Red Cross, alternative heating sources like space heaters, fireplaces and wood and coal stoves are the leading cause of fires during the winter months. The organization responds to a fire emergency every 19 hours.
"People get in situations where they have no heat, and they need to start to figure out how to heat their homes," Aldrich said. "Sometimes people don't realize they have options."
And that is where utility companies like Columbia Gas come in.
Chris Kozak, communications and community relations manager for Columbia Gas of Ohio, said residents who are struggling financially should call their heat provider before resorting to alternative heating methods.
"The first thing people need to do is contact their utility company," Kozak said. "We need to hear about their financial situation, or if something has happened, like if they have gone from two incomes to one. If they are having trouble making their payments, just let us know."
Kozak said that between 50,000 and 55,000 Columbia Gas customers in the Toledo area residents qualify for gas bill assistance, including people with an income of up to 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. For a family of four, that would mean a family with an income of $47,100.
Kozak said that if residents are going to use alternative methods like fireplaces or space heaters, "recognizing that there are safety hazards is the first step."
The American Red Cross offers the following tips for those who do decide to use alternative heating sources:
- All heaters need space. Keep things that can burn, such as paper, bedding or furniture, at least three feet away from heating equipment, fireplaces and stoves.
- Place portable space heaters on a hard, level nonflammable surface. Do not put space heaters on rugs or carpets, near bedding or drapes and keep children and pets away. Look for a model that shuts off automatically if the space heater tips over. Do not use heating equipment to dry wet clothing.
- Never use the stove or oven to heat your home.
- Never leave portable heaters, wood burning stoves or fireplaces unattended. Turn them off before leaving or going to bed.
- Keep the fire in the fireplace by using a glass or metal screen large enough to catch sparks and rolling logs.
If you or someone you know is having difficulty paying your gas bill, call Columbia Gas at 1-800-344-4077 to see if you qualify for assistance.

Commissioners will consider new economic incentive policy
A proposed economic incentive policy, slated for discussion during the Lee County Board of Commissioners' meeting Monday, narrows the criteria for businesses seeking county funds.
A prospective company moving to the area will not receive economic incentives from the county unless it creates 25 full-time jobs, makes a $20 million investment and is not a direct competitor to a current business, among other conditions, under a draft economic incentive policy set to be debated during the 6 p.m. Monday meeting at the Lee County Government Center, located at 106 Hillcrest Drive.
According to the resolution, incentives will not be given to a company unless Lee County is in competition with another area outside North Carolina and, only if, Lee County is not in competition with another area within North Carolina. A company receiving an incentive would have to commit to maintaining the number of jobs created, regardless of seasonal hirings.
"The county reserves the right to review all proposals and recommendations for or against incentive offers by the (Lee County Economic Development Corporation) and to make the final decision on incentive awards on the basis of what is in the best interest for the citizens of Lee County," according to the resolution.
Other items on the agenda:
* Review applications for the Lee County Environmental Review and Advisory Committee.
* Discuss a resolution against a bill in the North Carolina Senate that would move Lee County into an economic region based around Charlotte. Lee County is currently in the Raleigh-Durham region.
* Consider a facility use policy for county buildings.
* Review a presentation on the Lee County Young Commissioners program.

Midwest Living Review
Under a hot summer sun and cloudless blue sky, the re-created SunWatch Indian Village looks and feels awfully similar to what it must have been like 800 years ago—minus the Indians. While many historical reenactment sites focus on the first settlers in America, this one dials back to a time that feels truly ancient. The grounds reflect the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, from a grass-roofed hut, empty except for benches made of strong sticks, to burial slabs marking the ring of sacred space circling the village.
Four completed buildings highlight the grounds; plaques tell the story of the Native Americans who once called this area of Ohio home. A garden just outside the fence provides a glimpse into the original American Indian diet, featuring the three sisters of corn, beans and squash. Inside SunWatch's main building, visitors can see how vegetables were preserved underground during winter. The village and small indoor museum tell part of the story of the area's forefathers, but the archaeological park really comes alive each June at the annual Keeping the Tradition Pow Wow and the annual Flute and Art Festival held in August.

Pull out your credit card and flip it over. If the back is marked with the words "PayPass," "Blink," that triangle of nested arcs that serves as the universal symbol for wireless data or a few other obscure icons, Kristin Paget says it's vulnerable to an uber-stealthy form of pickpocketing. As she showed on a Washington D.C. stage Saturday, she can read all the data she needs to make a fraudulent transaction off that card with just a few hundred dollars worth of equipment, and do it invisibly through your wallet, purse, or pocket.
At the Shmoocon hacker conference, Paget aimed to indisputably prove what hackers have long known and the payment card industry has repeatedly downplayed and denied: That RFID-enabled credit card data can be easily, cheaply, and undetectably stolen and used for fraudulent transactions. With a Vivotech RFID credit card reader she bought on eBay for $50, Paget wirelessly read a volunteer's credit card onstage and obtained the card's number and expiration date, along with the one-time CVV number used by contactless cards to authenticate payments. A second later, she used a $300 card-magnetizing tool to encode that data onto a blank card. And then, with a Square attachment for the iPhone that allows anyone to swipe a card and receive payments, she paid herself $15 of the volunteer's money with the counterfeit card she'd just created. (She also handed the volunteer a twenty dollar bill, essentially selling the bill on stage for $15 to avoid any charges of illegal fraud.)
If anyone still doubted that the trick had worked, Paget accidentally flashed the volunteer's credit card number on a screen in front of an audience of hundreds of hackers and security researchers. "You were planning on cancelling that card, weren't you?" she added somewhat sheepishly.
Contactless cards are far more common than they might seem: According to the Smart Card Association, about 100 million of the RFID-enabled cards are in circulation. Visa calls its technology payWave, MasterCard dubs it PayPass, Discover brands it Zip, and American Express calls it ExpressPay. According to a show of hands among Shmoocon's audience, dozens of the several hundred conference attendees in the room had contactless cards, and about a quarter of those weren't aware of it until Paget asked them pull out their cards and check for contactless symbols.
Paget, a well-known security researcher for the consultancy Recursion Ventures who was known as Christopher Paget until a gender change last May, used a simple method for her hack: impersonating a legitimate contactless point-of-sale terminal with her own RFID card reader. (That's the striped panel pictured above.) In one practical version of the scam, Paget says, a fraudster could simply bump up against his victim with that reader in a coat pocket and invisibly scan the RFID signal through material like a leather wallet or cloth pants. In a demonstration just before her talk, Paget read a card in my wallet through my back pocket without touching me, successfully obtaining the card's information.
The scheme, Paget points out, doesn't involve any hidden bug in the system, but rather the more fundamental problem that any commercially-available RFID reader can read the data from a contactless card as easily as a store's point-of-sale device does. "Whatever encryption or other security there might be, it doesn't matter," she says. "The reader just spits out the number as if I'm the point-of-sales terminal, which is totally stupid. This is an embarrassingly simple hack, but it works."
The attack Paget demonstrated is far from new. The security industry has known since 2006 that contactless credit cards can be read wirelessly without the owner's knowledge. But in current versions of the cards, the user's name, PIN and the three-digit CVV on the back of the card aren't included in the wirelessly-read information, which the industry has argued means the attack isn't practical.
Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the industry group the Smart Card Alliance, points out that despite previous research on the contactless attack, no real-world instances of the fraud have ever been reported. "We've got six years of history, a hundred million users of these cards, and we haven't seen any documented cases of this kind of fraudulent transaction. The reason we think that's the case is that it's very difficult to monetize this as a criminal," says Vanderhoof. "The premise that this is a new threat is absolutely false and isn't supported by [Paget's] demonstration."
In fact, contactless cards do offer one security feature traditional cards don't: Along with the card's 16-digit number and expiration date, the cards are set to offer up a one-time CVV code with every scan. Those codes can only be used for one transaction, and have to used in the order they're generated. If a payment processor detects multiple transactions with the same code or even codes being used to make transactions in the wrong order, it will disable the card. So a contactless card scammer can only use each stolen number once, and if the victim of a the scam uses the card again before the thief has time to make a fraudulent payment, all transactions on the card will be blocked.
"The truth is that consumers should be embracing this technology because it's making them safer," says Vanderhoof. "Efforts to try to discredit the use of chip technology in cards is only making the users of the existing technology more vulnerable."
But Paget says that rotating one-time CVV only means a fraudster would need to target multiple victims rather than defraud a single victim repeatedly. The scammer could stand in a crowded train station, for instance, reading the card numbers of many passers-by and sending them to an accomplice who carried out the rest of the scheme in real-time. "Instead of one person seeing many fraudulent transactions on their card, fifty people see one transaction on their statement, and maybe they don't even notice it," she says. "The card industry says this isn't possible, but the information they're giving you isn't complete. I needed me to get up on stage and prove it so they would accept that the problems are real."
And now how to solve those problems? Perhaps the simplest solution, Paget advises, is to kill your card's RFID chip by frying it in the microwave. But that's a more delicate task than it might seem. "Three seconds in the microwave will kill the chip," she says. "Five seconds will set it on fire."
Paget's firm has been working on a more sophisticated fix: a credit-card-shaped protection device known as GuardBunny that sits in a wallet alongside payment cards and blocks any would-be RFID fraudster. Paget says the device, which remains a prototype and still has no roadmap for commercial sale, blocks RFID signals far more effectively than any currently-available RFID-shielding wallet. Commercially-available RFID blockers simply shield cards or passports with a layer of aluminum or steel. Guardbunny, by contrast, reflects back the reader's RFID signal with its own chip, effectively jamming the radio signal. That technique means even high-powered RFID readers would likely fail to pick up any credit card signals nearby. "It doesn't matter how much power you put into it, it just bounces it back at you," Paget says.
Better still, when Guardbunny detects an RFID reader's signal, it emits a high-pitched whining sound and its bunny icon's eyes glow (as pictured) to warn of possible contactless pickpockets.
Paget admits that certain high-level attacks could get around even the Guardbunny's protections. "You can defeat this. But it involves building your own reader," she says. "That's a lot more to demand of the bad guys than spending $50 on eBay."

The May 16 meeting was led by Commissioner Tommy Robinson in the absence of committee Chairman Larry Childs.
The first business on the agenda was an automatic increase in rates for county water customers. Water superintendent Freddie Wiggins said the increases are needed.
County Administrator Mike Underwood asked if automatic annual increases were not already in the water policy. Wiggins said no, that the current policy is to bring recommended increases to the board each year.
He said there has not been a rate increase since 2010. The full board approved the increases May 21.
Wiggins said a water audit shows the system lost $205,000 for the year, which equates to $17,000 each month. The loss was in water produced but not billed. He said the audit was conducted by the RG3 Meter Company, and 25 random water meters were tested.

The following video from many years ago titled "A Daughter's Regret" shows the testimony of Suzanna Gratia Hupp whose parents were killed when a madman opened fire in a Texas cafeteria. It is a powerful reminder of how essential it is to protect the Second Amendment, not for duck hunting, as she points out, but to protect our loved ones from maniacs ... and a government that would put us in such a vulnerable position.
Here is an excerpt from the video description, which adds background and context to her testimony.
It was October 1991 when an unemployed merchant seaman drove his pickup truck into a Luby's cafeteria in Killeen, Tex., leaped out and opened fire. He killed 23 people and wounded more than 20.
Hupp and her parents were having lunch in the restaurant when the shooting started. Hupp instinctively reached into her purse for her .38-caliber Smith & Wesson, but she had left it in the car...
"Even if you choose not to have a gun, as the bad guy who ignored all the laws is getting close to you and as he levels that firearm at one of your children, don't you hope the person next to you has chosen to carry a gun and knows how to use it?" ...
"A gun can be used to kill a family, or defend a family," Hupp said. "I've lived what gun laws do. My parents died because of what gun laws do. I'm the quintessential soccer mom, and I want the right to protect my family. What happened to my parents will never happen again with my kids there."

Helene Sheath Dress 5 5
Classy and Comfortable I'm 5' 6" tall and weigh about 145 lbs with an hourglass figure. The size 8 fits me well -- nicely skimming the hips, with no gapping of the pockets. Love it.. September 18, 2013
Great Purchase The fit is great. The material washes well and comes out with no wrinkles. Great for travel. September 24, 2013
Great for work Super comfy and professional look. The fabric is very soft and pliable, but does not cling. Looks great with a short black cardigan. The dress is a little long for me, but I will have it hemmed (I am 5'5"). I am very pleased with this purchase. October 10, 2014
Very Flattering! I love this dress--the style is very flattering, the material light and stretchy, the color perfert for lots of occasions. I am wearing it at work right now and have received many compliments today. I bought this to travel in italy this fall and I know it will get alot of use. August 26, 2014
oddly shaped skirt, heavy I was excited about this dress because I love pockets and the picture looked as if it would be great with jackets or scarves. However, it is actually very heavy, perhaps because of the full lining so I would probably not in fact pack it. In addition, the skirt seemed tulip shaped rather than straight and I found that unflattering. Returned it. October 1, 2013

In my recent RailsConf talk I said that I would help out with questions regarding component-based Rails applications (#cbra). A few days ago I got one such question via twitter: How to make a unified admin tool for independent engines?. Here is the gist:
Zac: @shageman starting an app from scratch using #cbra and wondering how to handle a shared admin tool w/ regards to non-shared dependencies
Stephan: @zachallett Are you wanting to build one admin for multiple independent parts?
Zac: @shageman that was my thought, I would like to mount subdomains as engines, and have a unified admin tool for the independent subdomain apps
Stephan: @zachallett Basically, you have two options: make one admin(engine) per engine or extract admirable stuff and have one admin engine.
This post adds detail to my answer on twitter.

i AM IN SEARCH OF SWAROVSKI CUP CHAIN BLANKS..I AM FINDING THE ONES WITH THE STONES IN THEM BUT I WANT THEM EMPTY SO I CAN DESIGN MY OWN......CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE... I AM NEW AT THIS AND AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH SUPPLY RESOURCES....I WOULD LIKE TO BUY IN BULK ALSO...
I've just been researching how to do this myself and came across a few references that might help:
Soldering Cupchains Plating Materials and Techniques
SRA Soldering Equipment Solder Fluxes and J Board
Contact: http://sra-solder.com/contact.php
Also try Josef Bergs: http://www.josefbergs.com
Good luck... let me know how it goes.
This isn't an answer to the question, but I just wanted to say that I've just gotten back from touring Swarovski complex in Innsbruck, Austria. If you ever get a chance to go visit, don't pass it up. It's great and like a big kid's Disneyland. I just walked around saying "OH WOW!" and drooling the whole time. I couldn't believe the beauty of the things they have there. I will write a post on it for JMD soon.
you can find blanks on ebay for a decent price but i wasn't pleased with how they lay on the neck there is a company in israel that has some very exciting blanks i have ordered but it has been a month and dont have them yet. chandalir-jewelry they do wholesale retail earings bracelets necklace and stones. it has taken hours of research to find these.
sorry www.chandelier-jewelry.com hard to type this on a phone
I too have been on a seemingly endless search for these things and have been able to find just the one supplier that I'm sure everyone else is aware of. I'm wondering if someone can help me to understand why these elements are so so so incredibly difficult to find. I don't believe that I have ever used a product that - despite the enormous amounts of it existing in this world - I could only purchase through a sole source. Any thoughts, facts, rumors, suppositions, wags, old wives tales, and / or tea leaf readings would absolutely be appreciated.
One other question - the source that is available for blank chains advertises them as being made in the USA of the highest quality but I can't locate a US manufacturer for this product - they all seem to be located in China. Does anyone know of a US manufacturer for cup chains - either empty or with rhinestones? Thank you!
I've been looking at this site but wanted to make sure you received your order and they were a reliable company.
i have been pleased with the cupchain purchases from chandelier. shipping is high but arrives quick.
Hello, I am located in Tennessee , and I have blank cup chain already pre-cut to choker size available. I have it in silver and antique silver finish. Are you still interested in purchasing some? I am just about to list on ebay. Please let me know if you are interested and if so how much you would like to purchase.
Thanks! D
Sure. Where can I see them?
I will list the bracelet shortly...
Do you still have any of the cup chain already pre-cut? I saw some listed on ebay once already cut and assembled and all I needed was to add the stones. If you still have these let me know.
I don't know this supplier, can you tell me? I've looked everywhere and cannot find them.

In the European Union, enlargement, special arrangements for the expansion of the Schengen Area, and the gradual development of a stronger EU role in immigration have added new complexity to the policy landscape, leading to both new patterns of movement and new policies for governing immigration from outside of the European Union's 28 Member States. The research offered here focuses on migration policies, trends, and common challenges that affect Europe at a supranational level—from free movement to asylum policy and the management of EU borders.
As the European Union seeks to implement a Common European Asylum System, these publications and multimedia resources from MPI and MPI Europe examine asylum policy and humanitarian flows to Europe and elsewhere around the world.
Nearly 40 percent of Switzerland's 1.6 million foreign residents come from countries outside the European Union. Julie Schindall examines the latest data on this population, integration indicators and policies, and political rhetoric and public opinion.
Gloomy economic forecasts do not seem to have slowed the hunt for highly skilled migrants or foreign students — the best near-term solution to fill shortages and enhance competitiveness.
The European Union's recent proposal aims to attract highly skilled migrants by granting them access to all EU labor markets—but with some important limitations. Elizabeth Collett of the European Policy Centre explains the basics of the Blue Card proposal, the questions it raises, and national-level reactions.
How do migrant sending and receiving countries both get more of what they want—without the receiving countries committing to a new stream of permanent migration? The European Union thinks it may have found an answer in the concept of "mobility partnerships."
While the countries that make a point of competing for the world's best and brightest tweaked their entry systems in 2007, the European Commission took a bold leap in late October: it formally proposed a European Union "Blue Card" scheme for admitting highly qualified non-EU workers who already have a work contract in a Member State and professional qualifications.
Drawing on experiences from Asia, Europe, North America, and the Pacific region, this report presents eight strategies that represent best practices developed by immigrant-receiving countries to increase the economic contributions of immigration.
Information and technology are centerpieces of a new border architecture that seeks to respond to the competing demands of facilitating mobility and managing cross-border risks while remaining cost-efficient and respectful of rights and privacy. This report shows how governments must approach border management systems to ensure properly balanced development.
This report details the post-9/11 programs and agreements implemented by U.S. and European governments to identify terrorists and serious transnational criminals through the collection and processing of increasing quantities of traveler data.
The global economic downturn and rising debt levels in all European countries have put immigration at the forefront of many debates surrounding public spending. This report presents a diversity of findings with regard to European governments' responses to immigrant integration organization, financing, and programs.
This policy brief examines the legalization debate on both sides of the Atlantic and discusses policy parameters that characterize legalization programs, such as qualifications, requirements, benefits, and program design and implementation.
The enlargement of the European Union has fundamentally changed migration patterns to the United Kingdom. Since May 2004 an estimated 1.5 million workers have moved to the UK from new EU member states. This report looks at the challenges ahead as migration patterns shift across the UK.
Despite benefits of sharing commercial, government, or personal information for law enforcement and intelligence purposes, U.S. and EU officials have toiled to find a satisfactory legal framework to do so. This report describes and analyzes possible legal, privacy, and data-protection frameworks for information-sharing agreements relating to human mobility.
"Good integration" happens every day in different areas around the country, either as a unified response to a tragic event, in the private sphere, or in the successful performance of some ethnic minorities in education and employment.Yet, in some respects, communities are moving apart, pulled or sometimes pushed, by their own choices.

Where to Stop for Coffee While Holiday Shopping in NYC
There's nothing quite like the agonizing pleasure of shopping to make a cup of coffee sound that much more wonderful, or even like the only thing left that could possibly keep you alive. Rather than settling for the nearest chain-store swill (and bumping seasonal gift totes with all the sheeplike masses), why not search out one of the city's finer coffee establishments to break for that most appreciated cup of quality coffee, espresso, tea, or hot chocolate? Here are a few of our top recommendations, by district. More

The non-profit Coal River Group hosted a party for over 600 paddlers on the Coal Rivers, June 23, 2013. Over six hundred people showed up and brought over 400 kayaks, canoes and even a new paddle board.
"The overwhelming response to our river restoration efforts is growing each year", says Kris Radford, President of the CRG. "We are pleased and amazed at the number of out-of-state paddlers who plan months in advance to participate in our huge community float", she says.
"Huge is a good way to describe the event. This year over 600 classy orange t-shirts were gobbled up by visitors and participants." Radford notes, "Our Tour De Coal paddler in the sunlight design just gets more popular. The demand for the TDC shirts has grown so big that we now sell them at our River Center on a year-round basis. Over 1,000 bottles of water were consumed during the event and the paddlers carried off nearly all the empties as the left the area," she adds.
"The number of volunteers needed to supervise and coordinate the safety of the paddlers has also grown," says Radford. "This year we produced over 100 lime green t-shirts that carry the coveted word, 'CREW' for volunteers on the backs of the shirts. Those shirts are all gone and in every case we see them on people's backs everywhere we go. Volunteers are the key to our success," says Radford. "Without the vast number of volunteers we simply could not host such a large and complicated 12-mile paddle trip for 600 people."
The visitors to the region are impressive. California, New York, the Carolinas, Wisconsin and many other faraway places, including Nepal, were represented by the paddlers. Many people with family still in West Virginia are scheduling visits back home to coincide with the annual event and in many instances have family reunions the weekend of the Tour de Coal.
"Five shuttle buses provided by local churches including Maranantha, St. Paul's Baptist, St. Mark's Episcopal and First Baptist, and the Mardi Gras Resort helped to shuttle the visitors from downtown St. Albans parking sites 6 miles upstream to the Meadowood Park launch site." "It is a logistical challenge,' reports Radford, 'but with our seasoned volunteers we manage the complicated transit and launch of over 400 boats very well. This year we successfully helped to launch all 400 boats in a short 45 minute time span and we did it safely," she adds.
"The economic payoff for St. Albans and local merchants is wonderful plus also," says, Radford. "Local store owners are gearing up well in advance for the event. Tudor's on West Main Street near St. Albans proudly posted a large 'WELCOME TOUR DE COAL PADDLERS' sign on their billboard. Local small stores provided provisions and food for the hungry and thirsty paddlers and local hotels enjoyed the increased number of overnight guests."
The three event, ROCK, PADDLE AND ROLL weekend, also brought new visitors to the River Center located in the Kanawha County Park and Recreation Commission's Meadowood Park, located in Tornado, WV. The Pre-Tour registration event provided free paddling instructions to over 40 young people and allowed 100 people to register for the event without long lines. Coal River Group's first 'Cruise In' on Sunday sponsored by The Klassy Kruzers Car Club brought over 40 cars and 100 people for the Sunday Antique Boat and Car show.
Radford closed by saying, "Above all, we could not continue to be as successful as we are if it weren't for our major sponsors, Moses Ford of St. Albans, City National Bank and Mardi Gras Casino and Resort, who give us the seed money each year to start the event." "They have been with us a long time and we appreciate their continued support of the Tour de Coal and the Coal River Group."
