In the late 1970s, plans were underway to construct a new law school building on the main campus of Mississippi College in Clinton. Those plans changed when United Gas Pipeline generously donated a five-story building in downtown Jackson to the law school; the first classes were held on the new MC Law campus in 1980. At that time, the gift was the largest in Mississippi College history, but its true worth was not in the monetary value of the bricks and mortar, but in the building's location. For more than three decades, MC Law's position in the heart of Mississippi's legal, judicial, and business center has offered students unlimited opportunities for work, clerkships, and externships.
About MC Law
MC Law began educating future attorneys in 1930 as the Jackson School of Law, a night school for working professionals who wished to become attorneys.
Its location in Jackson, Mississippi's legal and governmental center, has been an advantage ever since the law school's earliest days; the original faculty members were practicing attorneys who pursued justice in the courtrooms of the capital city by day and encouraged the next generation of legal leaders in the evenings. Over the years, the law school grew from a night school into a fulltime institution, earning a reputation for outstanding instruction and the professional success of its graduates.
In 1975, the law school became a part of Mississippi College, the oldest university in the state. Combining a practical legal education with Christian principles, the law school has since become a premier legal center for the South.
Mission & Vision Statement
Mississippi College School of Law seeks to provide a superior legal education within the context of a Christian institution. Our aim is to create an institutional environment that promotes intellectual and practical learning. Our student body and faculty reflect a wide variety of backgrounds and interests. Out of this diversity, we seek to create a scholarly community in which students and faculty discuss issues freely in a variety of settings, both formal and informal.
Our curriculum is designed to train students to become skilled and ethical lawyers capable of adapting their practice to a changing legal world. To accomplish this goal, we have looked to a liberal arts model in shaping the law school's curriculum. Our courses emphasize individual responsibility for learning, while providing every student instruction in the substantive and analytical skills necessary for successful practice.
We provide grounding in the common law and statutory foundations of our legal system, but also explore emerging doctrine, employing in each context the traditional methods of legal analysis, enriched by the insights of related disciplines. To assure that our curriculum incorporates the most current scholarship, our faculty is actively engaged in research in their respective areas of expertise. In addition to courses in legal doctrine, we offer a wide range of instruction in the skills of modern practice. Because we view writing as the most fundamental of these skills, we emphasize teaching of writing at every stage of legal training. In addition, we offer courses in oral advocacy, counseling, negotiation, and the many skills of pretrial and trial advocacy. Because of our location in a major legal center, we are able to draw on leading practitioners and judges as adjunct professors and as supervisors of externship programs.
We recognize the law school's responsibility to the legal community and the larger society. Consequently, the law school and its faculty are involved in a variety of activities to improve the legal system, including research and advocacy in law reform projects, service on bar association committees, and teaching in continuing legal education programs.
All of these goals reflect the commitment of the law school and the founding institution to the belief that human beings are God's creations, equally entitled to dignity and respect. In every setting, we seek to train lawyers of high intellectual and practical ability, who are committed to ethical practice; to assisting the disadvantaged; and to free and open discussion of issues of law, policy, and values.

Tanging does not cause flying swarms to settle
Michael L Smith
Tanging, the act of hitting metal objects together to produce a clanging sound, is used by some beekeepers to induce flying swarms to settle. The effectiveness of this practice is anecdotally supported, but has never been experimentally tested. In this experiment, four swarms were exposed to tanging during the first 255 ± 112 m of their flights to new nest sites. In total, tanging was performed over 1019 m, for 22 min 56 sec. No evidence was found that tanging causes a flying swarm to settle.

#23278 closed enhancement (wontfix)
Spin PressThis off into a plugin
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Press This
PressThis has really been the ignored stepchild of WordPress for quite a while now. I'd like to propose that we spin it out of core and into a plugin (either installable via the plugin repo or bundled with wp, whatever)
Several things to consider:
- Backwards Compatability: What happens when someone upgrades then uses an old bookmarklet? I'd suggest either autoinstalling, or prompting them immediately to install the plugin through a special catch in core.
- Press This doesn't have an includes file in wp-admin/includes that other plugins could pull in, so extracting it is very unlikely to break plugins that could be manually pulling that in.
- This will make it easier to upgrade in plugin form, and let other people have an easier time hijacking it to use their own implementations.
In today's IRC chat, as sabreuse pointed out, everyone seemed to either favor spinning it out into a plugin, or didn't have much of an opinion. If you really want it in core, please speak up! I'd love to hear your reasons.
I'm willing to throw a massive chunk of time at this to make it work, if that's the decision that we decide to move forward with.

comment:2 @rmccue — 3 years ago
-0, I think it's a pretty useful feature for users, but it's not great as-is, so it'd need some love if it stays. It might be quicker to build on and iterate if in a plugin (as noted in IRC).

+1 for spinning it off + improvements
comment:4 follow-up: ↓ 5 @nacin — 3 years ago
Strong -1. I certainly wouldn't mind it being a bit more robust and functional in a number of ways. But the answer to "We need a better bookmarklet" (which, yes, we do) is not to simply remove it. It should remain in core while improvements occur in the form of either patches, or a plugin that can be iterated and then brought into core when it has reached a good result.
If you do any kind of blogging that results in linking to and quoting another article, it can be awesome. I don't much, admittedly, but Matt does all the time, and uses the bookmarklet. A number of journalists I know also use it.

I use the existing bookmarklet a fair bit too. It ain't sexy, but it also ain't horribly broken. Plugin first, then bring into core as an enhancement sounds like a good approach to me.

LG G Flex Is Official, Also Bent
LG has been dropping hints that its new flexible screen technology would be appearing in an upcoming phone, but we hadn't seen anything about it hitting the market. All that's changed with the LG G Flex, which is not an obscure rapper but their newly announced phone.
Flex Time
To start with, let's talk about the main feature, which is, of course, the bent screen. Designed to curve so that it more naturally fits the contours of your face, LG is also claiming that the angles make calls easier to hear and increases the volume of your calls by three decibels, which is a lot for a phone. Exactly how true these claims are is up for debate, but one thing is undeniable. It looks cool.
Back Anti-Scratcher
Next up is a feature we didn't know about; a self-healing back. Apparently LG is as sick of you getting the back of your phone scratched up as you are, so it's installed some technology that will fix hairline scratches as they happen. Considering how these things work, it's probably not going to last for the life of the phone if you really beat it up or use it as a hockey puck, but it's a nice touch that differentiates it from LG other products. Which it kind of needs, because the internal specifications are… well…
Like A G2 In A Vice
They're pretty much exactly the same as the LG G2; 2.26 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM, 13 MP camera, basically if you want the details just look up the G2, they're pretty much the same phone aside from the Flex running Jelly Bean for some reason. So, high end, but not terribly different from the other phones out there in terms of what you get. Will a bendy screen be enough? We'll find out; the model debuts in Korea next month, and a global rollout will like follow in early 2014.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Corey Rue has gone back and forth between linebacker and defensive back for much of his career.
After his performance as a DB during Saturday's season-opening win against Richmond, he may have found a stable home in the Albany Panthers' secondary.
Rue, who returned an interception for a touchdown late in Saturday's fourth quarter and led the team with six tackles, was named the PIFL Defensive Player of the Week — an honor that had him beaming before Tuesday's practice.
"I'm still kind of shocked about the whole thing," said Rue, a graduate of Division III Concordia (Ala.). "When I watch (the interception return) on film, it still amazes me."
Looking Ahead
WHO: Albany Panthers (1-0) at Louisiana Swashbucklers (1-0).
WHAT: Rematch of last year's league championship game.
WHEN: 8 p.m. Saturday.
WHERE: Lake Charles, La.
The return also amazed a packed Civic Center on Saturday night.
Rue picked off an errant pass from Richmond quarterback Antwon Young and weaved his way in and out of blockers nearly the entire length of the field before diving into the end zone with 6:28 left in the game, giving the Panthers enough cushion to hang on for the 40-28 win.
But what Rue didn't know at the time was that Albany coach Lucious Davis was screaming from the sideline for his secondary to change its coverage.
"It was pretty much the same coverage and the same play that they had been hitting the guy underneath on all game," Panthers coach Lucious Davis said. "I didn't like that coverage, and I wanted them to play man-to-man. When the play started, I thought they had us on that."
Instead, Rue came up with the play of his life.
Rue, a native of Birmingham, was one of Albany's leading tacklers last season but rotated between linebacker and defensive back — something he also did in college. Even though Rue is comfortable switching positions, Davis said he has found a home in the secondary this season.
"He came into camp more focused than he did last year, and he has been making those same plays all camp," Davis said.
BOYER ALSO HONORED: Panthers place kicker Geoff Boyer earned his teammates' respect last season, and now the former kicker at Middle Tennessee State has earned a full-time starting job.
He was one of two kickers on Albany's roster last season — along with Wes Virgilio — but Boyer emerged as the go-to guy in the postseason. He is the only kicker on the team this season, and his season-opening performance Saturday against Richmond gave him Special Teams Player of the Week honors in the PIFL.
Boyer, who is known for his ability to drop kick, was 3-for-5 in PATs and 2-for-3 in field goal attempts, hitting from 29 and 28 yards out.
"We have a whole lot of confidence in him," Davis said. "Geoff is the type of kid who has a lot of confidence in himself. I believe last year, at times, I showed I didn't have the confidence in him by going with Wes at times. Later in the year Geoff came on and played the playoffs, and he has been making the kicks. He does everything we ask him to do, and he makes the kicks."
Before Tuesday's practice, Boyer said he felt his team's confidence in him.
"Coach said that this is the first time since he has been here that the team isn't getting down on anybody, and everybody is a team and trying to pick each other up," Boyer said. "So I feel like the team has confidence in me. I proved myself last year and even this last game."
BIG CROWD IN THE CIVIC CENTER FOR OPENER: Fans streamed into the Albany Civic Center this past Saturday by the thousands to witness the Panthers' 2012 season opener.
Panthers GM Will Carter reported the official attendance as 5,275 — which is several hundred more than last year's season opener and several thousand more than the average home attendance for other PIFL teams.
Columbus had the second-highest attendance in the PIFL last week, drawing 2,500 fans for its home game Saturday against Knoxville.
The Panthers set a franchise attendance record of 7,400 in last year's SIFL Championship game against Louisiana.

Artists M. River and T. Whid formed MTAA in 1996 and soon after began to explore the internet, video, software and sculpture as mediums for their conceptually-based art. The duo's exhibition history includes group shows and screenings at The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Postmasters Gallery and Artists Space, all in New York City, and at The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. In "New Media Art" (Taschen, 2006), authors Mark Tribe and Reena Jana describe MTAA's "One Year Performance Video (aka samHsiehUpdate)" as "a deftly transparent demonstration of new media's ability to manipulate our perceptions of time." The collaboration has earned grants and awards from Creative Capital, Rhizome.org, Eyebeam, New Radio & Performing Arts, Inc. and The Whitney Museum of American Art.
New audio by Cary Peppermint, check it out…
seven audio works .mp3 - Cary Peppermint 2007
The audio works of TRACEPLACESPACE were formed loosely in response to ever-accelerating technological developments, passing time, urgent ecological issues, and remarkable events of our globally connected system in process long before but brought to the forefront since the latter part of the year 2001. The works of TRACEPLACESPACE are components of a digital, multi-media, network-infused performance of the same title.
I like to perform this work in small community venues, outdoor gatherings, art-spaces, and galleries where everyone is welcome and can sit on the floor, talk to one another, and drink green tea. However I will perform TRACEPLACESPACE approximately anywhere.
Filming Outside the Cinema
I have to admit that I'd not given much thought to film outside the cinema, web film or live video, or anything like that, but I've spent lots of time here hanging out with Peter Horvath and I'm impressed.
Peter makes very beautiful films for the web, and you can check them all out online. Today he showed us The Presence of Absence, which was comissioned for the Whitney Museum's Artport in 2003, and then Tenderly Yours from 2005, which "resituates the personal, casual and ambiguous approach of French new wave cinema in a net art narrative that explores love, loss and memory. The story is recited by a striking and illustrious persona, who moves through the city with her lover. Her willful independence is intoxicating, though her sense of self is ambiguous..." Gorgeous.

Cut Piece (2006, 36.5MB, 9 min)
"Ono had first done the performance in 1964, in Japan,
and again at Carnegie Hall, in New York, in 1965.
Ono sat motionless on the stage after inviting the audience
to come up and cut away her clothing, covering her breasts
at the moment of unbosoming."

Early July 2011 Sights – On July 1st, the moon swings from the morning to the evening side of the sun. By July 3rd, a narrow crescent moon should seen (weather permitting) low in the western dusk. To the right of the moon on that evening will be the planet Mercury. The evening moon will appear half full on July 7th, offering the best views of its craters and mountain ranges through binoculars or telescope. On that same evening, the moon will appear below the planet Saturn. (Saturn will shine steadily, not twinkling as the night stars.) On the next evening, the moon will appear close to Spica, Virgo's brightest star.
Mid July 2011 Sights – The evening moon grows to full on July 14th, appearing above and to the right of Sagittarius (Tea Pot). Just as for June's full moon, this month's full moon has a low track across the night sky. July's full moon is visible for about ten hours, rising about sunset, cresting only 1/3 of the way up in the South and setting as the sun rises. Four nights later, the moon will have fled into the morning sky, not rising till after midnight.
Late July 2011 Sights – On the morning of July 23rd, the moon appears half full in the southern dawn. On the next morning, the moon appears to the left of the bright planet Jupiter. On the morning of July 27th , the moon appears above and to the right of the planet Mars. On July 30th, the moon swings from the morning side to the evening side of the sun.

MADISON, Wis. – A Mexican national was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in federal prison for his role in a local cocaine conspiracy.
The sentence resulted from an investigation conducted by the following agencies: Drug Enforcement Administration; FBI Safe Streets Task Force; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI); Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation; Stateline Area Narcotics Team; Rock County (Wis.) Sheriff's Department; Illinois State Police; Beloit, Wis., Police Department; and the Rockford, Ill., Police Department;
Omar Velazquez, 21, of Janesville, Wis., was sentenced Feb. 20 by U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb in the Western District of Wisconsin to 10 years in prison for conspiring to possess cocaine with intent to distribute, and for distributing cocaine. Velazquez pleaded guilty to these charges Dec. 5. As an illegal alien from Mexico and a convicted aggravated felon, he also faces deportation after his release from prison.
On April 11, 2012, Velazquez delivered a kilogram of cocaine to a confidential informant in Beloit, Wis. He also arranged for the informant to purchase two kilograms of cocaine April 23.
The court found Velazquez possessed between 15 to 50 kilograms of cocaine during the short time he was involved in the conspiracy. The court also held Velazquez responsible for illegally possessing guns that were found during a search of his residence.
The following five others were charged in this conspiracy: Emeterio Velazquez, Rosalina Velazquez, Ruperto Ruiz, Nicholas Covarrubias, and Jose Castillo-Madrigal. Emeterio Velazquez is scheduled to enter a plea March 1. Covarrubias has pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing. The other defendants are awaiting trial.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth Altman, Western District of Wisconsin, prosecuted this case.

Plastic bags going away for grocery store chain
COOS COUNTY, Ore. -- The option of paper or plastic is going away for some south coast shoppers.
Starting on Monday, the three Ray's Food Place stores, located in Bandon, Port Orford and Gold Beach, will stop offering plastic shopping bags.
The grocery chain says it wants to be an industry leader in environmentally friendly practices, so shoppers will now have to either bring a reusable bag or paper bags will be provided.
Bags will also be for sale in the store for about a dollar a bag.
Ray Brewer, the manager of Ray's in Bandon, says they have already started getting people ready for the change. "Probably six weeks ago we started the preparations, getting everything lined up and ready to go/we have some people who've been using their own reusable bags for some time, and they are really excited about the move," he said.
Customers are being offered incentives to use reusable bags, including a five cent discount per bag used.
Brewer says Ray's will continue its plastic bag recycling program.

Tabu, left, portrays a mother of an immigrant Indian family whose son, played by Kal Penn, chooses an American girlfriend (Jacinda Barrett). / Fox Searchlight Pictures
- Filed Under
The Namesake
Starring: Irfan Khan, Tabu, Kal Penn.
Director: Mira Nair.
Length: 122 minutes.
Rated: PG-13, with profanity, implied sex, brief drug use.
Web: foxsearchlight.com/thenamesake/
Jack's rating: With 10 as a must-see, this film rates
Few filmmakers have been as artful as Mira Nair in structuring stories around a culture's diaspora. In such films as Mississippi Masala and Monsoon Wedding, Nair has focused her lens on the changes and challenges for fellow Indians on the move.
That sensitivity makes her the ideal choice to film Jhumpa Lahiri's best-selling novel, The Namesake. The drama emerges from the tension between the traditions of the father and the new ways of the son as the Ganguli family moves from Calcutta to Manhattan.
The symbol of the father-son differences is the son's name, Gogol, given to the infant boy supposedly because the Russian author is a favorite of the father. But, in truth, the meaning runs deeper.
The father, Ashoke (Irfan Khan) comes to America to teach and brings along his bride, Ashima (Tabu). Though the marriage was arranged in Calcutta in traditional ways, Ashoke and the lovely Ashima gradually develop a beautiful and deeply felt love. In America, the couple has two children, a girl, and the boy called Gogol (Kal Penn, on much more affecting ground than in his Harold and Kumar and Van Wilder comedies).
More and more, the younger American generation drifts rebelliously away from the traditional Calcutta-born parents, until the young finally begin to see the importance of the ethnic heritage and family roots that are represented by their parents.
The Namesake is episodic, and obviously based on a more detailed novel, so segments don't always flow as smoothly from one to the other as one might like. And yet the performances are formidable and moving, and there's much to be gleaned about the natural, universal clash between generations and between cultures.

|Billy White, Colton Martinez and Amber Logan prepare to balance their check registries at the end of the activity with Ellie Jones and Scott Merrell. The balanced registries and their experiences will be used in follow-up assignments they will complete with their teachers in the classroom.
A few weeks ago, members of Carbon High School's FBLA hosted a "Reality Town" for Helper Jr High. Yesterday, March 23, they repeated the exercise for students at Mont Harmon Jr High.
The event was the culminating activity as part of a project spearheaded by Vanessa Smith, Anna Gramlich and Kellie Peczuh. The idea was adapted from another project their advisor, Terri Tubbs had heard about at a conference she attended.
Reality Town allowed eighth and ninth grade students to discover some of the decisions and experiences of life as an adult.
Students must budget their money and go to a variety of stations, where they have to pay for services such as transportation, housing, day care, medical expenses and groceries.
The activity is expanded to include classroom curriculum in a variety of disciplines.

This This year we have so far added Schon Boden's Kara and Iris to our fold.

|I am who I am and I don't like yams.
But every now and again I go on a rant, and such was the case last night on twitter. After a Day From Hell, I read my timeline, got tired of the same old BS and went on a 30 point twitter rant, only 29 of which were unpleasant.
I know I pissed off a lot of people because there was a fantastic amount of subtweeting going on after I ranted and left (in my defence it was midnight), and really I'm okay with that.
Other than spelling mistakes or to clarify I'm not going to edit these tweets except to say this about number 2, which seems to have generated the most subtweets: go ahead and love the sport and love the player all you want.
Sit in your room and bawl your eyes out for days (by your own admission since it leaked the Habs were trying to deal Gorges) and write him love letters and quit on the team. But the second you throw that shit out onto twitter you've chosen to make it public and willingly opened yourself up for a reaction, be it positive or negative.
I never said you didn't have the right to feel the way you do. But I am going to mock you for the four days of teenage crush angst drama and wailing you've spewed onto my timeline over somebody you've never even met and who doesn't know you exist. I'm a cold hard bitch.
I realize that I left a lot of shit out in the ether, so to speak, and I won't be pretending to retract any of it, so if you're here for an apology you might just want to go watch porn or something instead. I don't care. But you're not getting one.
30 Hockey and Habs Rage Tweets
1. MB (Marc Bergevin) does not need the fans advice. This includes those who think you know better than him due to advanced stats and popular fan blogs. Get over yourself or get an NHL gig.
2. If you "literally cry" when a player leaves how the fuck do you cope with actual reality? You're not his fucking wife or BFF. Get a grip. It is one thing to be upset. I didn't dig dealing Muller. But fucking crying over it and writing epic letters of undying love? LMFAO PLEASE
3. If you need a particular player on a team to support that team, you are a fan of the player and not the team. So just step off. Actually that last was probably still part 2 but what the fuck ever. I'm raging right now.
4. Gionta and Gorges do not suddenly make the Sabres Stanley Cup contenders. Are you FUCKING SERIOUS?
5. Hockey players are in it for the money. Sure it's nice to love a city & the fans & shit but they want their $. Saying otherwise is a lie.
6. The next lockout would be the last if the fans would actually wield their power & boycott the NHL for even 1 week for this shit. I didn't go to MTL for a year after that last one because it was a protest on my part. Went to Panama instead. Otherwise we're accessories.
7. I'd trade anybody & everybody for a 25th MTL Cup. I'd shave Youppi and kick his ass up and down St. Cat's. This includes PK and Price.
8. There are too many fucking hockey blog websites saying the same thing 10,001 different ways. I'm bored by 10,000 of them.
9. Trevor Timmins does a fine job & this is to that asshat Guy Smith on Habsaddict & his anonymous alter ego. Bitch let's see you do better.
10. Also, Guy/Anonymous unless you can replace a 39 goal scorer willy nilly you can just step right off dissing Max. Get thee to rehab idiot.
11. The next person that wants to define a "true hockey fan" or "true Habs fan" for me can save their tweet, unfollow & block. #fuckoff
12. I still can't stand Lars Eller. Probably never will. Ditto for DD, who at least earned my respect. Still waiting for Lars.
13. I think Pierre McGuire is probably the biggest idiot in hockey TV, rivalled only by Don Cherry. It's a close fucking race.
14. Lost in all of this is the fact that MTL has become attractive to UFAs again, which took a long time, and was part of MB's doing. If you recall (and I do) we were once in Toronto's position where paying anything & everything still couldn't get them to sign with MTL... ESPECIALLY the home grown talent. And who could blame them? But by all means hate on MB for dealing Gorges. Because that's all that counts.
15. MT was not my first choice for the coach, but since I'm not fucking MB guess what? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I THINK. #perspectivebitches
17. I've seen it taken for granted that the #Habs will make the playoffs next year & I'd really like to see where that's written. And I don't mean twitter but I mean where it's written in the fucking NHL rule book or something. They are not guaranteed SHIT!
18. Just once, just ONCE, I'd like the TSN panel to say something nice about the Habs and fucking mean it. It's to the point I'd pay $. This goes double for CBC. I'd also sell my entire twitter follower group upriver to never have to suffer HNIC's pro-TO agenda ever again. It's not that I don't love you but with what I've gone through today you're pretty much all I have left anymore.
19. Bettman is an affront to the sport & its fans. Is he a great businessman? Sure & the owners love him. But he's a joke that needs to end.
20. The reffing in the NHL is colossally stupid, in need of some accountability & a major overhaul... Yeah and this goes back to HNIC & the CBC & shit I suffer as a hockey fan. What I want to know is why is there no accountability of the reffing in the NHL? Is there a shortage of wannabe zebras that we can't risk offending the blind or biased ones we've got? And don't tell me they aren't either. I've watched Crosby stand on the ice, whining to the refs - meaning 6 men for Pittsburgh - while the Habs wanted a too many men call. He did it for half a minute. No call. But then you get idiots like McLean who think that French refs favour Montreal. I can tell McLean never watches a Habs game from this single fucking remark because it's usually the opposite. They call the Habs for every goddamned thing so as to not appear biased.
21. Why is there no freedom of speech in the NHL? If a coach says the reffing was shit he gets a fine. Canada & the US are free but not if you're an NHL coach with a pair of eyes and a brain. Then you get fines. Also fines are stupid because these people are RICH AS FUCK. WE ARE THE ONES who make them rich as fuck. Yet we can't hear what they really think and feel like they're humans frustrated by their bosses.
22. Why are there no consistent rules for infractions in the NHL? Why are there no lifetime bans for repeat douche offenders? It's all so fucking arbitrary and as a fan I think a lot of it is who is friends with Bettman and whoever is running the discipline. And that is a fucking joke because there is no discipline in the NHL, just confusion. I don't trust TPTB (The Powers that Be) in the NHL. Do you?
23. There should be no more NTC contracts or clauses. They are POINTLESS. What a fucking joke. Why even bother?
24. I don't GAF who is the next Habs captain. There I've said it. IT DOESN'T MATTER. It's for the fans, and this fan doesn't care. Really. Why does it matter who the next Habs captain is? Is there some goddamned criteria required to stand there & spout clichés at the media? "We gave 110%. Credit to the other team. We came out flat. We need to regroup. We did some good things." *insert eye roll here* And that ties back to my earlier point about how the NHL does not allow its coaches and players to speak freely. It's the fucking Kremlin. Perhaps if the team captains were allowed to HAVE A FUCKING PERSONALITY OR UNCENSORED OPINION I'd care but they don't so I don't.
25. This sport leaves a lot to be desired for its fans. They can have fan night all they want & signings & shit but really they take us for granted and as a fan I get to resenting it. I watch UFA and the $$$ they get handed out like they're curing fucking cancer or something while the rest of us save up & budget to afford a single game (if we're lucky to even get tickets & good luck with that at times) and I really think the NHL as a whole really ought to try stopping with the Kremlin shit & be more engaged with its fans. This particularly includes the NHL social media team accounts and especially the players, who use this shit to endorse their products. I followed Mike Cammalleri for a year & all I saw was fucking Biosteel tweets. So I don't follow players anymore. The rest barely tweet or are boring and insanely politically correct. When did twitter become so fucking PC for the NHL? It should be fun.
26. Hockey is too expensive and I don't mean just to go and watch a game. Rogers is going to fuck over the Habs fans out West and all I can say is welcome to my world. In the East unless you pay for a premium package your choices are Toronto. That's it. RDS cost me six bucks a month but I flat out fucking refuse to subscribe to TVA. They can just fuck right off. So I'm left with what? NHL Center Ice? That's not cheap. (Then) there's the actual kids playing the sport. Equipment and lessons and gas and hotels and who can afford it? It has gone from pond hockey to an elite sport. I speak just from watching the kids around my hometown this past winter. Some kids couldn't afford it. What is that shit? When I was a kid we put on some cheap ass figure skates and we didn't wear all this shit and we didn't get hurt & we had fun. Now? I need a second income if I want to help my 5 year old nephew play. So do his parents. It's ridiculous.
27. The concussion protocol room is not being adhered to. I really don't believe it. A player should not get to override medical protocols. I once ended up in the hospital after a car accident (it's on my blog) and I wanted to leave and I got vetoed by the medical staff. They were concerned I might have possible internal bleeding (I didn't) or a concussion (I did). They are trained to assess me better than I can myself, and while I get that the players want to get back out there etc. they should be overruled no matter what. And if a player has to miss a month due to a cheap goddamned hit to the head (intentional I mean) then the offender should miss the same # of games. I mean why does the offender get to continue targeting others? But again that goes back to the arbitrary discipline point earlier.
28. Ice girls are an affront to women, and in particular hockey fan women. And then there's the whole fucking puck bunny thing. #bitchplease Here's the difference between a female hockey fan and a puck bunny - because a lot of people don't seem to grasp this: I like hockey. I watch hockey. I watch all hockey, including women's hockey. Puck bunnies watch the men who play hockey. They watch who is single and try to meet them. They fangirl over their hair and shit. They obsess and "literally cry" and shit. Sure I like MB and I think he's attractive (I have eyes that work, thanks) and I like to chime in and have fun but really... #perspective. I don't actually GAF who he's sleeping with. I won't literally cry when he's gone. I don't watch every interview he's ever given. I won't write epic love letters to him. Right now he's in my orbit because he runs the team I love. I'm a hockey woman fan, not a puck bunny. And while I'm on this subject I once got interviewed on a radio show and was asked such enlightening questions as who my fave player was (Larry Robinson) and other "girly" questions. They didn't GAF what I actually thought about the team or the sport. I left feeling offended. I remember once a couple of puck bunnies got national airtime for being all fangirly and not discussing / contributing anything other than "oh he's so cute" and "he has the best hair" and shit like that. Is that really what hockey guys think of us gals who like this sport? I've got no time for that. That shit is offensive to me as a hockey fan and as a woman. I don't follow puck bunnies, ok? Just FYI.
29. These "hockey insiders" with the scoops and the trade spec... this shit is so old. Who the fuck do you think you are? Why do you have a single follower you twitter whoring idiot? Do people actually believe you? I'm going to start selling bridges to these people.
30. OK I'm done. If you're still reading I thank you. I can't get to all my mentions right now. Welcome new followers. I didn't blog this shit because frankly I didn't know it was going to go to 30 points. I had maybe 5 before I got started and then got warmed up and all hell broke loose and came pouring out of me. This happens at time. You guys are warned. Peace out (or not). Your choice.

text: Congrats to Stanford Law students Kristen Bell ('13) and Angela McCray ('14) who made the Community Law Clinic's first court appearance of the quarter! They appeared on behalf of a low-income tenant in an eviction case and filed a Motion to Quash the summons on the basis of a fatal defect in the complaint. In so doing, Angela and Kristen also noted for the court that the plaintiff landlord is a corporation and was appearing unrepresented, in violation of California law. That latter point was the most important to the judge, who has ordered the plaintiff to retain counsel and instructed that the tenant is under no obligation to file any responsive pleading until it does so. Angela and Kristen are prepared to re-file their Motion to Quash, and to negotiate in this new posture on behalf of their client.

David Cope, a professor at the University Of California, Santa Cruz, has been experimenting with "algorithmic computer music" and "musical intelligence" in order to program a computer to compose its own music. It only makes sense that the main men behind Thievery Corporation, D.C. natives Eric Hilton and Rob Garza, would cite Cope as a shared interest: Not only does Cope explore the possibilities and boundaries of music, he works at a university nestled in a hippie/beach bum town an hour south of San Francisco with a penchant for protests (many of them naked), beards, drum circles and its comically huge pot smoking celebration every year on April 20.
Thievery Corporation's latest album, Culture Of Fear, its sixth full-length studio release, fits right in with Cope and UCSC: Its overall spaced-out aesthetic remains chill and groovy, exploring socially conscious themes while meandering through hip-hop, classic psychedelia, jazz and dub. In that way, Culture Of Fear is the perfect neo-hippie album: It coasts in a psychedelic daze, is multicultural in scope but still a fan of Pink Floyd, political and maybe into conspiracy theories.
Boston rapper Mr. Lif sets the tone for the album in the title track by unleashing a pre-flow provocation. "Seems like they want us to be afraid," Lif muses. "Maybe we're just so used to it at this point that it's just a part of us, a part of our culture." His track is the most overtly political song on the album, which on the whole tends to embed its discontent and rebellion in layers of slinky synths, light snares and dreamy ambient sounds or downtempo tropical dub beats. Culture Of Fear is heavy on the psychedelic, by no means a total departure for past releases. In true Thievery style, the duo snagged a solid lineup for the album: Persian singer LouLou lays rich, Suzanne Vega-ish vocals over a pulsing rhythmic backtrack in "Take My Soul," Bitter:Sweet's Shana Halligan brings a Portishead vibe to "Is It Over?," and Ras Puma contributes the words to "False Flag Dub."
Despite Mr. Lif's aggressive approach, Thievery Corporation has a talent for slipping dissent into listeners' ears by smoothly embedding it deep in the tracks, which, for the number of instruments and the variety of different influences that appear, are remarkably well-composed. Even at its most far-out, the songs on Culture Of Fear always seem to know where they're going, even if they choose to take the scenic route to get there.

The Devils have signed free agent center Rob Niedermayer. The announcement was made by Devils' President/CEO/GM Lou Lamoriello on Friday.
"I felt that we needed a little size and strength down the middle," Lamoriello said. "Now with Travis (Zajac) and Zubie (Dainius Zubrus) and Robbie, I think we have three pretty good size, strength center ice men. We know Robbie well, of course. We've played against him enough in the Stanley Cup (Finals). He's had tremendous Stanley Cup experience and can be used in different roles."
Niedermayer, who turns 35 in December, scored 14 goals and seven assists with Anaheim in 2008-09. The younger brother of former Devils defenseman Scott, Niedermayer lost to the Devils in the 2003 Stanley Cup Finals before capturing the trophy with the Ducks in 2007.
Niedermayer, currently in Kamloops, B.C., is expected to join the team by Monday.

Kids First provides free legal representation to children in high-conflict divorce and custody cases. Services are targeted at Linn County youth ages 6-17 who are at risk because of these custody battles. Children of high-conflict divorce are even more vulnerable than children of amicable divorce to suffer from emotional and behavioral problems, abuse drugs and alcohol, fail in school and have failed relationships as adults. A majority of Kids First clients come from at-risk families that have some combination of substance abuse, mental illness, and domestic violence. Many parents are so overwhelmed by the fighting and litigation that they do not attend to their children's needs.

Samsung ATIV S, the first smartphone that South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung unveiled to the world with Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system loaded on it, is now said to have been delayed all the way to February next year.
Previous rumors suggested that it might have been delayed to January, yet it seems that users might actually have to wait a bit longer for it to arrive.
There's no info available on whether the delay was caused by issues with the device or by a low level of orders for it, nor is there an official confirmation on the specific availability window for the smartphone.
Chances are that the phone will actually make it to shelves before year's end, at least in Canada, where wireless carriers have reportedly already sent demo units to their stores.

Just curious - what does a retailer have to do to get part of the Pappy allocations? Why do some retailers seem to have a decent stock and other never carry it?
Just curious - what does a retailer have to do to get part of the Pappy allocations? Why do some retailers seem to have a decent stock and other never carry it?
Same as how we get it from the retailer. Having a history of relationship with them.
In talking to the guys at the store I frequent, this is how they have basically managed to do it. They remember not long ago when they could pretty much get what they ask for, and now, it get harder and harder each year.
But it all comes down to history i think.
For starters, I think the retailer has to actually know what it is. From my experience, I would estimate 50% of all retailers I have visited aren't even aware of it's existence. Shoot, 50% is probably low, as I think about it...
The beauty of such a high percentage of retailers oblivious to VW is that sometimes they do carry it and don't realize what they have. This may be reg VW and not Pappy, but I'll take what I can get whenever I can find it. I've found 10/107 and lot B in some real shitholes. Same goes for btac, btec, and single oak.
They have to support 'core' Sazerac products in a big way. Does the store sell lots of ER10yr? They better, along with the many non-Bourbon Sazerac products.
Look for stores with giant Rain Vodka displays in the window.
I have heard that you required to purchase a few barrels as well.
I would love to try a PVW 15. But I won't pay ebay prices to do so.
Every place I have looked either don't carry or out of stock.
This includes ORVW 90 and 107.

Khrushchev's Command of the Scriptures
In the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, a Russian peasant boy was dutifully taught the Word of God by his parents and fellow villagers. They labored diligently, hoping the Scriptures would shape his life, not knowing that the boy would one day become Premier of the Soviet Republic.
Sadly, the adult life of that young boy – named Nikita Khrushchev – didn't reflect the truth of the Scriptures by which he was raised.
Without a doubt, Nikita Khrushchev was nurtured under the teaching of the Word of God. Late in life, even Khrushchev himself recalled, "My mother was very religious. Likewise her father – my grandfather…. I remember being taught to kneel and pray in front of the icons with the grown-ups in church." Further reflection led him to "vividly remember the saints on the icons against the wall of our wooden hut." It's been widely purported that Khrushchev memorized all four Gospels during his childhood, and once, during a speech in France in 1960, he even claimed to have been a "model pupil" in religion.
But his religious upbringing seemed to have very little effect on his life.
During the murderous "show trials" of his predecessor Stalin which were held between World War I and World War II, Khrushchev gave his unyielding support to political bloodshed. Khrushchev regularly met his "arrest quotas" in the provinces under his leadership and personally signed the death sentence for thousands of Russians, many of whom had been his personal friends.
Further, Khrushchev prided himself on the scorn he had for religious matters. After rising to total power, he eventually proved a fiercer scourge on Christianity than even Stalin. Under his leadership, a large percentage of churches were closed in the USSR.
In the end, it mattered not that Khrushchev had been a "model pupil," or that he had large portions of the Bible memorized. He died a militant atheist, never allowing the Word of God to truly affect his life.
2,000 years ago, Jesus taught an important message over and again: life must be lived according to God's Word. For example, in John 8:31-32, we're told:
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Unfortunately for thousands upon thousands of wrecked souls, the tyranny and brokenness of Nikita Khrushchev's life illustrates the important difference between "knowing the truth," and merely "knowing of the truth."

5 Responses to "Khrushchev's Command of the Scriptures"
I heard an interview, and in this interview the host recalled talking to Khrushchev's wife at the funeral and she made a statement that before Nikita Khrushchev died he too became a born again christian, anyone know about this?
According to some reports, Khrushchev actually was converted to Christ
while still in power. He apparently interrupted a gathering of Christians at
a Black Sea resort in 1964, walking to the front of the hall and taking
the microphone in hand, stating he believed in Jesus Christ and now knew
that Russia needed to embrace the gospel. This unexpected action was summarily
reported to the Kremlin by spies after which he was deposed by the Politburo,
Leonid Brezhnev assuming the position of Secretary of the Communist Party. It
is interesting to note that neither Pravda nor Izvestia ever reported any
official reason why Khrushchev was deposed other than there was a general feeling
that a changing of the guard was necessary.

Anthony Van Vechten
Anthony Van Vechten was born in January 1748. He was the son of Anna Bogardus and the "gravely ill" Benjamin Van Vechten. His father died the following August and his mother re-married five years later. He was known as "Anthony" or "Antony" but apparently not as "Teunis/Tunis."
His wife was Maria Fonda. In November 1771, their son was christened at the Albany Dutch church. Other children probably followed but they were baptized in churches beyond Albany.
As he was the only surviving child, his father's will left him about half of the estate. In 1766, his house and property was valued on an Albany assessment roll. In 1767, he was identified as a member of an Albany militia company.
After that, his name dropped from Albany rolls. Perhaps he re-located to the Mohawk Valley or Schaghticoke where same-named individuals were active over the next four decades.
Perhaps he was the Anthony Van Vechten who died October 14, 1812 in "the 68th year of his age." That individual had a forty-eight-year-old son named Benjamin!
Sources: The life of Anthony Van Vechten is CAP biography number 2392. This sketch is derived chiefly from family and community-based resources.

Types of Hearing Loss
A conductive hearing loss exists when there is an abnormality in the middle or outer ear but the inner ear functions normally. This causes sound to be attenuated before it reaches the inner ear. This type of loss often can be treated with either medication or surgery. The most common conductive hearing loss seen in children is caused by otitis media (ear infections causing accumulation of fluid in the middle ear).
Other causes include:
--extreme wax buildup
--holes in the eardrum
--small or absent ear canals or pinnas
--abnormalities of the bones in the middle ear
In this type of loss, the problem lies in the inner ear or in the transmission of impulses along the auditory nerve.
Within the cochlea, the site of damage is usually the sensory hair cells. As a result of the hearing loss, not only does the individual notice decreased sensitivity to sound, but there is often a decrease in the clarity of sound as well. Sound may reach the inner ear, but because of damage to the cochlea or auditory nerve, it is not received clearly by the brain, even if it is made sufficiently loud through the use of amplification.
There is usually no medical treatment for this type of hearing loss.
Potential causes include:
--anatomical abnormalities of the cochlea
--noise exposure
--certain drugs
--head injuries
--prolonged high fevers
--meningitis, mumps, and measles
In many cases, especially when the child is born with the hearing loss, the cause remains unknown.
A mixed hearing loss is a combination of both a conductive and a sensorineural hearing loss. Usually the conductive component can be treated with medication or surgery, but no treatment is available for the sensorineural component.
Central or Cortical
This type of hearing loss refers to the inability of the brain to interpret sound information even though peripheral hearing sensitivity is essentially normal. Varying degrees of auditory comprehension result.
Unilateral or Bilateral
Hearing loss is also referred to as either unilateral or bilateral, depending on whether one or both ears are affected.
In a unilateral hearing loss, there is a hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the other. Unlike children with bilateral hearing loss, children with a unilateral hearing loss typically respond to normal conversation and environmental sounds and demonstrate normal speech and language development. Because of this, the average age at which a child with a unilateral hearing loss is identified is generally later than that of a child with a bilateral hearing loss. Thus, many of these children are not identified until they are in school.
Individuals with unilateral hearing loss find sound localization extremely difficult. That is, they have problems determining where a sound originates from. This is an important consideration in terms of classroom management of this child. Many of the educational implications for children with bilateral hearing loss are similar for a child with a unilateral hearing loss as well.
Factors such as type, degree, duration and etiology of the hearing loss, and even the child's intelligence may affect how the child responds to his or her hearing difficulty.

The FBI's dossier on Chávez was obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which contains provisions that allowed the FBI to withhold portions of the documents from public view. Indeed, many parts—and in some cases, entire pages—have been excised from the files. Nevertheless, the collection provides a compelling window into the efforts of the farmworker movement, as well as the values and methods of the FBI itself.
This file contains reports on various activities of the United Farm Workers (UFW) during 1973–1975, including a demonstration in observance of Attica Day at the John F. Kennedy federal building in Boston; a demonstration in connection with the Secretary of Agriculture's visit in Indianapolis; and a demonstration at the federal building in Phoenix.
In a document dated September 14, 1973, the FBI's field office in Boston reported on a demonstration at the JFK federal building, which the UFW co-sponsored with the Greater Boston Defense Organization against Racist and Political Repression. The purpose of the demonstration was to commemorate the 1971 Attica prison riot in New York, which largely stemmed from prisoners' unrest due to overcrowding and poor living conditions. The special agents who observed the event reported that the demonstration and subsequent rally were peaceful and that no arrests were made.
A teletype dated December 7, 1973, sent from the Indianapolis FBI to Washington, reported on a proposed demonstration in Indianapolis which was to coincide with a visit to the city by Earl L. Butz, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. While much of the text in the memos were redacted, the reports did note that the demonstrators, who carried signs and chanted UFW slogans, conducted themselves in a "peaceful and orderly" manner.
The final report, a teletype from the FBI's Phoenix office dated August 12, 1974, was sent in regards to a planned demonstration by the UFW at the federal building in Phoenix. The purpose of the demonstration was to protest an Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) policy that issued green cards to Mexican laborers and thus undercut domestic farm workers' unionization efforts.

The Mabinogion attracting students
Luciana Cordo Russo is from Buenos Aires in Argentina, and even though she has no connection with Wales, she has come to Wales to study at the School of Welsh, thanks to financial support from Banco Santander.
Luciana is visiting the School of Welsh in order to improve her Welsh and to research for her PhD on medieval Welsh literature.
After graduating she embarked on a PhD degree at the University of Buenos Aires. Her research looks at the adaptation and translation of medieval French literature into Welsh.
Luciana says "I quickly realised that I had to come to Cardiff to improve my Welsh and work with experts that could offer me advice and guidance."
Her visit has been funded under the University's partnership with Santander UK, which improves links between British Universities and Hispanic-speaking countries. Her visit has enabled her to follow an Advanced Welsh course at the School's Welsh for Adults Centre and to take some of the School's undergraduate modules such as 'Women in Medieval Wales'.
Luciana enjoys being able to work closely with academics within the School who specialise in the Middle Ages – Professor Sioned Davies, Dr Dylan Foster Evans and Dr Juliette Wood. Luciana says "the standard of the teaching and the research is extremely high. I'm very grateful". Luciana will be returning to Argentina at the end of January but before she leaves she will have the opportunity to share and discuss her ideas by delivering a research seminar at the School.

Whenever I visit my local quilt shop, I delight in the displays of fresh new fabrics, all cut and folded in beautiful and unique ways. Jelly rolls? I have them at the ready for strip quilting and quick patchwork projects. Fat quarters? They are tucked into baskets in my studio.
I'm so inspired by fabrics and the endless combinations you can create. Maybe that's why I'm particularly drawn to patchwork sewing patterns. Once you start working with them, you can easily change out the fabrics and alter the arrangement.
If you've wanted to learn how to quilt but didn't know where to begin or didn't want to take on a big projects, our new free downloadable eBook, Quilting for Beginners: 5 Easy Quilt Patterns Plus Lessons on How to Quilt for Beginners, is for you!
This year, we'll be bringing completed nine-patch quilt blocks for the charity quilt. In honor of the day we're meeting, St. Patrick's Day, each quilt block with have a green square in the center.
I love the new modern patchwork quilt designs with improvisational piecing and simple, clean lines. And I'm not alone: these graphic, contemporary quilts with off-kilter blocks and wide expanses of solid colors appeal to a wide range of quilt artists.

Trying to find that one spot with the perfect blend of classical European architecture, culture, shopping, and of course great cycling? Try the small town of Solothurn, Switzerland's most pristine Baroque city.
Modern Solothurn is a small yet lively regional center featuring a bustling Marktplatz, trendy shopping, several chocolatiers, a Museum of Fine Arts, and numerous cafes with outdoor seating on the city's labyrinthine cobble-stoned and traffic-free streets. Due to its proximity to both France and Italy, the town has no shortage of fine food, if you're craving a wonderful Italian dining experience (and not pizza!) with traditional Swiss gemütlichkeit don't miss La Cantinetta Bindella. If you're looking for something a little more eclectic, the Salzhaus is a locals' favorite as is Baseltor.
From the 16th through the 18th centuries, Solothurn was home to the French Kings' ambassadors to Switzerland, and the Baroque architecture of the period reflects this. Despite its rather diminutive stature, Solothurn is considered Switzerland's finest Baroque city, while { Worthy of Note: the buildings outside the medieval wall give the town the atmosphere of a mini-Paris. }the buildings outside the medieval wall give the town the atmosphere of a mini-Paris. True to its heritage, Solothurn boasts an incredible assortment of Catholic churches, including St. Ursus cathedral, regarded as one of the most important Baroque / neo-classical buildings in all of Switzerland.
As the 11th canton of the Swiss Confederation, the number 11 features prominently in Solothurn's identity. "Öufi," Swiss German for "eleven" ("elf" in high German), gives its name to the city's homegrown beer, the number of historical fountains, churches and chapels, and towers. St. Ursus features eleven altars, eleven bells, and 3 groups of eleven steps leading up to its giant façade,
For cyclists visiting the region, there are over 600 km of paved riding trails emanating from the city center to keep you safe from regional traffic. But once you're into the Jura Mountains, you'll find glass-smooth roads with barely any traffic. Located on the alluvial plains of the Aar, and being so close to the Jura means riding in the region offers everything from endlessly flat roads to mountainous climbs. If mountain biking is more your thing, there's an abundant off-road trail network with something for everyone, from beginners to hardcore adrenaline junkies.
Just what you'd expect being so near to the home of BMC—who knows—you may even catch sight of some test riders.

When trying to articulate the style of bon vivant Shala Monroque, a few bon mots come to mind: daring, vivacious, sophisticated, cosmopolitan, eclectic, well-traveled, elegant, and unique. In a rather dizzying pace, Monroque, whose post as editor-at-large of Dasha Zhukova's incarnation of Pop magazine, has made waves on the international party circuit for her fearless taste and boundless joie de vivre. Whether Monroque is reporting on the Amelia premiere at the Doha Film Festival in Qatar (her very inspiring blog is a must-read), dancing the night away at a speakeasy in St. Petersburg, or hosting a fashion week fête attended by the jet set and art world elite, one thing becomes very clear: Shala Monroque's wonderful wardrobe is a collection of great beauty and her artfully crafted ensembles have made quite a bold impression!
Speaking of fashion week, it seems as though no one racked up more invitations (and best-dressed nods) during the S/S 10 season than our gorgeous GOTM. Spotted outside of the Miu Miu show in Paris (above, far left), Monroque looked magnificent in a head-to-toe Prada ensemble. This particular outfit highlights one of our favorite aspects of Monroque's artistic assemblages: her fearless approach to incorporating color and patterns into her picks. (Though our subject du jour claims to be experiencing a post-fashion month shopping hangover, she did cop to having a serious velvet crush this season.) We love her bright yellow printed skirt and the way it plays off the Mohawk-inspired heels from Prada's F/W 08 collection and tribal beaded necklace. Try Loeffler Randall's Loop Skirt ($325) and Jenni Kayne's Roll Sleeve Tank ($350) with Fiona Paxton's Metallic Necklace ($375) or the Beaded Collar Necklace ($58) from French Connection.
Monroque offered yet another great skirt-and-top outfit at the Museum of Modern Art's 41st Annual Garden Party last May in New York City. Though her Prada tiered skirt and chemise aren't bold and bright, the satin and cashmere combination certainly showcase Monroque's deft ability to weave luxurious textures into one killer look. The aforementioned pieces are no longer available for purchase, so try Theory's Carmela Sweater ($100) tucked into Forever 21's Exposed Zip Mesh Skirt ($29) for a close approximation. Though Monroque's jeweled sandals are from Prada's S/S 09 collection, make sure to achieve a similar final polish via snakeskin platforms like Chinese Laundry's Tied Python T-Strap Sandals ($80) and lots of faux-pearl baubles-Monroque's are from H&M-but any costume jewelry piece will do the trick!
Of course, what is a sophisticated social without a few strong and standout frocks? Fortunately, in Monroque's case, we'll never have to know, as she has a wardrobe packed with directional dresses from daring designers, such as these two stellar examples from Rodarte. The cobweb Hand Knit Dress she wore to a Mike Myers-hosted benefit late last year (second from left) has been an editorial and celebrity favorite; we like how Monroque styled it with a wide black belt and ombre ankle boots. Make sure to try ASOS' Loose Stitch Knitted Dress ($68) for a look-a-like alternative and pair it with Georgina Goodman's Riva 1 Booties ($665) to achieve Monroque's enviable ensemble. Last but not least, we have another cleverly crafted Rodarte design, specifically their Rafia Fringe Dress ($2500) from the spring collection. This plum-colored creation, which she wore to sit front row at Narciso Rodriguez's S/S 10 show (far right), incorporates organic material such as fiber tassels, as well as bold colors and patterns too, and is the perfect piece to steal the show. And though this exact style is not yet in stores, we think Anna Sui's Ditzy Floral Print Dress ($374) or Vena Cava's Mandala Dress ($495) would be equally vibrant additions to your holiday rotation. Just make sure to slip into a pair of complimentary hued heels, like Nine West's Fuchsia T-Strap Platform Sandals ($79) and you will be the object of outfit-centric attention everywhere!-KM

Naples officials again push back enforcement of water flow requirements in state fire code
Nine months after the state's new fire code went into effect mandating access to a sufficient water supply, more than half of the city of Naples homes that fall under the code do not meet requirements.
City officials initially delayed enforcing the code until Sept. 1, citing budget woes and calling new water flow requirements "unfunded mandates." And at a recent meeting they voted to push enforcement back another five months.
In the meantime, the city continues to permit homes that don't meet the code, concerning some contractors who say that could lead to lower property values.
"We're building some of the biggest homes in the state of Florida and we have legitimate deficiencies," Fire Chief Steve McInerny said.
According to the code, one- and two-family homes exceeding 5,000 square feet must have access to water that can be pumped at 1,500 gallons per minute for two hours. Of the 72 homes exceeding 5,000 square feet and permitted in Naples for 2012, 41 do not meet their water requirements with current city infrastructure, city records show.
When the code went into effect Dec. 31, 2011, McInerny conferred with City Council and agreed to a Sept. 1 deadline to begin enforcing the rules, which only affect new constructions. The delay was to help officials find a way to make water available.
"It took us a few months to identify changes in the code," McInerny said. "We brought in a consultant, got a report, brought it to City Council. We've been on this issue since February and thought September would give us a reasonable amount of time to get the word out to builders and architects."
At a recent meeting, council members again voted to delay the enforcement date, this time until Jan. 1, 2013.
Deborah Jamison, spokeswoman for the state fire marshal, said the state hasn't received any complaints of noncompliance in Naples. She wouldn't comment on whether the city could face consequences in the meantime.
In a letter to the fire marshal dated April 17, 2012, Mayor John Sorey called the requirements "unfunded mandates" and said the burden of meeting them would negatively impact builders, homeowners and the Naples housing market. Sorey asked for more control at the local level similar to what previous fire codes allowed.
City Fire Marshal Larry Bacci said he hasn't had correspondence with the state fire marshal and he doesn't anticipate problems for homeowners who have permitted their homes this year.
"We're expecting to have the problem fixed," he said.
"There's no reasonable danger," Bacci said. "And the homes that are being permitted now won't be built for months down the road."
City officials disagree as to whether the onus is on the city to provide the flow — through expensive water main upgrades or the purchase a $250,000 fire boat — or homeowners, who can install pricey fire sprinkler systems or use fire-resistant building materials. A hydraulic analysis will be finished this month showing where the city lacks proper water flow and how to fix it, City Manager Bill Moss said.
McInerny said he does not know of any homes that were permitted for sprinkler systems. It's unclear how many homeowners used fire-resistant building materials.
"We've got to address this, it is the law," Sorey said. "I was in favor of pushing the date back. I will not be in favor of a second time."
At the city's budget workshop in August, council argued about whether to buy a $250,000 fire boat to help meet flow requirements. Moss said of the city's eight boats, the fire boat is the only one capable of pumping water to fight fires.
Council is set to vote on purchasing the boat at Wednesday's meeting.
Councilman Sam Saad said that while owning the boat would earn the city some credits toward its flow requirements, it wouldn't actually help put fires out by the time firefighters drove to the dock, boarded the boat and reached the home on fire.
McInerny and Moss disagreed. Not only would the boat help put fires out, it was a cheap solution to meeting the law, they said.
Falconer Jones III, owner of Falcon Design in Naples was originally against the purchase of a fire boat until he learned what the flow requirements would mean for builders. Many low-end sprinkler systems are inadequate and flimsy, Jones said, and the good ones are more expensive than city council would admit.
Buying a boat would alleviate the requirements for builders and homeowners even if it only meant meeting an arbitrary state standard, he said.
"The houses aren't causing this problem. The builders aren't causing this problem. It's the city water system," Jones said. "It's inadequate and this is a way to shift that responsibility to the homeowners."
Jones said he believes property values could decline 6 to 9 percent if homes don't meet code. Sorey said he doesn't believe property values will suffer.
"As usual, there's been a lot of incorrect information and rhetoric," Sorey said.
