Rams Close Draft with LB's
Sunday, April 27, 2008
By Brett Grassmuck
Staff Writer
The 2008 NFL Draft came to a close as the St. Louis Rams selected Idaho linebacker David Vobora, making him this years Mr. Irrelevant, something Vobora knew nothing about.
We actually were sitting here watching the draft, and I pulled out the computer and Googled (Mr. Irrelevant), Vobora said. So, I learned about it about five minutes before I got the call.
As a result, Voboras going to Disneyland during a weeklong trip to southern California dubbed Irrelevant Week. Along with his trip to Disneyland , hell participate in a sailing regatta and receive the Lowsman Trophy at a roast in his honor.
Thats exciting, Vobora said. You cant argue with that.
Vobora was a very productive linebacker during his four-year career with the Idaho Vandals, the collegiate home of Rams coach Scott Linehan. Vobora led his team in tackles in both of his last two seasons, finishing his college career with 341 stops, 209 solo. His 148 tackles as a senior ranked third in the NCAA.
The two-time team captain spent most of his career at weak side linebacker, but also started four games in the middle. For the Rams, he will start out as a strong side linebacker, but will possibly play some middle linebacker as well.
We are going to start him at sam, (strong side linebacker) Linehan said. We felt he was the one guy who was there who could play both positions.
The Rams used their first pick in the seventh round on linebacker Chris Chamberlain out of Tulsa , who is listed as a linebacker, strong safety and fullback.
He is a will outside linebacker now, Linehan said. He has the ability to run well and in certain systems or situations, he could probably, in a pinch, (play safety).
Chamberlain had his most productive year as a senior, starting all 14 games and racking up a Tulsa season-record 165 tackles, 101 solo. Linehan said he expects both Chamberlain and Vobora to contribute on special teams.
Both Chamberlain and Vobora are production city type guys, lots of tackles, Linehan said. Perfect special teams core, we call them. Just hardcore special teams guys that will maybe make an impact when they go

Akha Jim
- Time with NOVICA: 9 years 2 months
"The most memorable moments I have experienced are those when someone tells me they have learned something valuable from what I have said, written or done."
"After several months in San Francisco, I left the United States with a one-way ticket back to South Korea, where I taught conversational English. At the end of 1976, I left Korea to see other parts of Asia and soon turned up in Katmandu, Nepal, where I lived for 11 years. At the end of 1987, I moved to Thailand and within a few months decided to make Chiang Mai my home. I help Akha people to promote their handicrafts, and I make regular research runs for book projects in Yunnan, China, and northern Vietnam.
"For the past couple of decades or more, I have made writing and photography my primary occupation. I have had innate interest in writing since my childhood. Photography I took up seriously in Nepal in order to record things I witnessed, and use the photos to help my research. Now I use photography to illustrate my written work as well. My focus has been the ethnic minority cultures in my region. My work with the Akha hill tribe in Thailand has helped me approach others in this region.
"In Nepal I wrote many articles for the regional media, as well as a guide on Katmandu for Times Editions, Singapore. I have also written and published books and guides on different aspects of life and cultural traditions in Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam. My important works are on topics I chose myself, mainly due to a lack of existing information on the subject, including the Akha, the Naxi of Lijiang, the Yi, and the Vietnamese peoples, as well as an exploration of Yunnan.
"Thai culture is very tolerant, compassionate and easy going. Living in Thailand for more than 18 years has influenced the way I lead my life. My own perception of life is to try to pursue it by maximizing my appreciation of life, and by concentrating on those aspects for which, consciously and unconsciously, I have become best prepared.
"I believe that what I am doing contributes something useful to the sum of human knowledge. Thanks to my background and the skills I was born with, as well as the skills I have developed while in Asia, I am uniquely qualified to carry out such a task.
"I taught myself photography through books, the advice of others, and trial-and-error. I am not a college graduate, never finished schooling, but never stopped my education. I read voraciously everything even remotely related to my current project, and I make many trips to an area of research to develop a broader perspective on the local customs, celebrations, traditions, etc.
"My work gives me the conviction that I am playing a useful and beneficial role while I'm here on this earth. It was not easy to go through the long apprenticeship necessary to succeed in my chosen occupation. My most critical challenges were to keep faith in my own vision of myself, no matter how long it took, to maintain good health to be able to put up with the physical hardships in the apprenticeship years, and to carry out my mission in sometimes difficult terrain.
"The most memorable moments I have experienced are those when someone tells me they have learned something valuable from what I have said, written or done. Also, when I have an especially good rapport with people I never met before, when I ride rope-bridges in Nujiang (western Yunnan), when Vietnamese people tell me how much they appreciate my interest in them and their culture, and when I make genuine friendships in so many countries.
"My father was a history teacher. My mother was an opera singer, who later became a music teacher. From my father I inherited my interest in history, the world at large and probably my writing ability. From my mother I inherited an appreciation for music, art and aesthetics in general. I became an artist of sorts because of a strong streak of individualism inherent in my character, which has been bolstered by my life experiences.
"My future goals are to write accounts of each major area in Yunnan province, to emulate my hero George Catlin, the American who did similar work with the American Indians west of the Mississippi in the pre-Civil War decades. I want to do more books on Vietnam as well. In addition, I would like to acquire, mainly for my own pleasure, a working knowledge of the Northern Thai dialect.
"I am pleased that Novica gives me exposure to people who might otherwise never hear of me. To collectors around the world I would say, 'keep up your interests – and expand them.'"
Akha Jim is proud of his nickname, which was given to him for his profound knowledge of the Akha hill tribe. However, he signs his work with his given name, Jim Goodman.

Dagger by AdamHughesWatch
©2009-2016 AdamHughes
Dagger, of Marvel Comics' CLOAK & DAGGER series, done at HeroesCon this past weekend. A fun use of both warm and cool Copic gray Marker sets.
Beautiful work
This is fantastic!!
You just amaze me..you are so very talented.
this is amazing. probably the best depiction of my favourite female comic character
Nice! I love glow you added
Awesome!! I love a good dagger drawing!! huge fan btw!!
Very creative work!
I like the lighting in this It's probably just me, but it has a Yoji Shinkawa feel to it. Wonderful job
You never see much Cloak and Dagger, so this piece makes me happy. Good job!
Most beautiful Dagger ive ever seen
SO beautiful *w*
absolutly amazing work of art.
I really like the way she looks here
one of your best, love it!
I apologise for putting you on the spot here, But i love your Claok and Dagger pic, but how do you rate mine?
pete (wolvesbear)
pete (wolvesbear)
no way..... i'm going to have to get me some of them markers... can't believe this isn't digital.
So stylish!
best cloak&dagger work i've ever seen!
So how many views before she rates being in a sketchbook? Over 17,000!! Just a testament to how many fans you have out there...
Wow... I hardly ever see any Cloak or Dagger any more. I always thought the origin of their powers were ridiculous, but the powers themselves and the characters and stories were great.
Plus, that Dagger sure did have a nice costume design

C&D are long time favorites of mine, and this is a stellar piece as always, Mr. Hughes. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Wonderful lady in white!!!

Sir, this is so amazing it's lie a cover piece done in a jiff!
were u born of awesome or is it just me thinking that?
are you going to do one of cloak too? these two are some of my favorite marvel characters
Not unless someone asks for one at a convention. All these marker drawings I post are commissions done at conventions.
Wow! She looks very mystic and sexy! It's a great illustration!
Add in favorites.
Add in favorites.
lordy! love the glow in this one. jebus, your good with those damn markers!
DIOS!!! ke contraste de color O__O me encanta!
Mr. Hughes, obviously you get so good drawings because of your talent, and because I guess you have a very good idea of what are you going to do and how. Now that you have shown some clues of your photoshop process, could we see someday some advices to use grey markers? I would love to read what you have to say, even if I can't do it that good..
nice... but i dont like her!
your art, is the prettiest art, of all the art!
(office reference ftw!)
but in this case, it's absolutely true! great job! I wish I could handle a marker half as well as you do!
(office reference ftw!)
but in this case, it's absolutely true! great job! I wish I could handle a marker half as well as you do!
Oh my GOD!
absolutely love this one.
Daaamn. If that v-neck got any lower it'd be something that would be the basis for the next high school sexting controversy (she is a teenager right?).
Great drawing, though--very shiny.
Great drawing, though--very shiny.
Retarded with hotness.
I love the light... 8D This is a really great picture. Never read the series, though.
Great technique, seems you were working with light and shade at this con, I saw a Zatanna done at the con posted somewhere on CAF too with really great lighting. Impressive work.
How will the life of these pieces compare with pencil / ink work, do the markers fade away with time or are the supposed to be permanent ?.

Another Hot TV Reporter Livens Up SB Media Day

Wondering what's with the wedding gown? The intrepid Ms. Gomez Mont used her time at Super Bowl Media Day to ask the important questions - namely, would Tom Brady marry her?
She pleaded with the Pats QB, "Marry me now, Tom! Say yes! I'm the real Mrs. Brady!" Tom could only flash that million-dollar smile of his and respond, "I've got a few Mrs. Bradys in my life."
The nuptial-minded reporter wasn't the first Mexican TV babe - or even the first Ines - to grab Super attention on Media Day.

I just discovered these on MUA a few weeks ago and ordered two from the Salux dealer in Calif. Two for $10 including shipping. Made in Japan. I wouldn't call them a bath towel, nor a washcloth. They are 35 inches long and 11 inches wide. They do a bang-up job of scrubbing my back and butt, and are making the rough bumpy areas on my arms, elbows, legs and feet feel much smoother. I've been using a lot of lather but will use less to increase the friction as my skin gets used to it. I'm going to order more as gifts. I usually roll mine up in my damp bath towel to dry then hang it beside my towel, ready for my next shower. I can see that mildew wont be an issue with these because they really dry fast. Thanks everyone for your positive reviews, I love Makeup Alley!

I bought this after reading the exemplary reviews on a beauty blog and on MUA. I use it on my legs which are always dry and my upper arms and back which are acne prone. On my legs it does leave my skin softer but my dry brush was doing that as well. But to me the best thing was that the parts of my body that tend to attract ingrained dirt seemed much cleaner but it's still hard to reach spots like the middle of your back. I also like that it dries fast. I am counting on it not disintegrating after a few uses like most poufs do. It seems sturdy enough.
Edit: I've been using it for 6 months now and it's still in perfect condition despite some fairly vigorous scrubbing. My back acne is much better as well.

This really is a great bath towel if you're into exfoliating. I use it twice a week (never on the face) and it gives me such soft and glowing skin before I put lotion on. But the lotion just glides and absorbs beautifully. I also dry brush before every shower to boost my lymphatic system and I think using this towel only helps stimulate it even more.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Very Oily, Fair, Cool

I don't know how I ever thought my skin was soft before I used this cloth. Those little meshy poof things and fancy body scrubs are NOTHING compared to the Salux, which is deliciously scratchy and capable of some badass exfoliation.The first time I used it, I felt like my skin was going to split open! However, within a week I was used to the sensation and will now scrub away quite happily. I use this in the mornings - It really wakes up my mind and body and gets my circulation going.
Because it dries so quickly (like 20 minutes, tops) the Salux is way more sanitary than anything else, but it's machine washable if you want that extra peace of mind. Apparently it lasts well for years too.
I've been using this religiously for 2 months and the results have been wonderful. Besides the all over baby-soft skin, my shaves are closer and the KP on the back of my upper arms has practically disappeared. There aren't any bumps left at all, just a few red dots which I'm pretty sure will vanish eventually. My skin is always smooth and soft now even without body lotion (which takes it to a whole different level, but isn't necessary if you use a moisturising soap with your Salux).
I bought a pack of 2 from the online Salux Shop (do NOT order off ebay or Amazon, too many fakes) and was over the moon with the customer service I received. Shipping was free from the US to South Africa and my package took about 2 weeks to arrive, which is pretty reasonable for most internationally shipped stuff. Joie (the lady in charge of the online shop) even included a lovely, personally signed little note.
Really, I can find nothing negative to say about this product. Just a reliable, affordable way to get smooth, soft skin. IMO everyone should have one of these little cloths in their shower.

Love these. There is nothing that makes you feel better than going for a good steam or soak, having a good sweat and scrubbing all the dead skin off with these. Clears the mind and the body!

I'm currently in my mid to late 30s (37 years old) and have been using this towel since I was at least 15. It is the best wash cloth for your body-EVER! Some people find it too rough, but I like the texture. (I think they make. It in different textures too!) When I use it, I feel like my body is actually clean! I love that it dries extremely quickly, so you don't have a mildew-like smell when you use it the next day. You should definitely try it!

I absolutely love these bath towels. They do such a great job of lathering up and exfoliating your skin. They also make it easy to get at hard to reach areas like the middle of your back. They feel much more hygienic than a loofah, give them a shot!

Decent product.
I do like apply soap with this.
It exfoliates nicely but it isn't face worthy.
Price is reasonable and it eliminates the need to purchase a body scrub.
It does a good job but I think I like the shower puff better

Great for your everyday shower! Very inexpensive too!

I've been using these for about 15 years now. Discovered them in an Asian supermarket and fell in love. I have seriously dry skin and go for Korean exfoliation scrubs about every other month. These help in between to keep the flaking to a minimum. Make sure to hang to dry after use so they don't stay damp.

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 1.4, 2.0, 2.x
Component/s: GenericTools
render() currently looks like this:
public String render(Object resource, Object[] args)
String value = String.valueOf(resource);
if (args == null)
return MessageFormat.format(value, args);
Unfortunately, if you're using MessageFormat-ready messages then you should be format()ting even strings with no arguments, even if this seems like an inefficiency.
We use many strings that are used on their own, or as part of other messages, sometimes they have arguments and sometimes they don't. This creates a sticky situation if you have to use MessageFormat escaping for some messages and not others. For example:
message1=ResourceTool's problem
message2=$(message1) is
where "$(message1)" is a substitution for message1 (which our ResourceBundle does for us). ResourceTool renders the first message fine but the second message with an argument doesn't render properly due to the unescaped ' passed to MessageFormat. Even without the special message substitution render() causes problems because the escaping rules are different depending on the message context.
The messages should actually be:
message1=ResourceTool''s problem
message2=$(message1) is {0}
to be consistent with MessageFormat's rules across all messages. Unfortunately ResourceTool can't handle this because it doesn't pass a no-argument resource to MessageFormat.
I'm using a subclass of ResourceTool that doesn't have the shortcut:
public String render(Object resource, Object[] args)
So all my messages have the same escaping rules.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
Hmm. I suppose you're right.
Thanks Nathan,
javadoc should probably be updated too as it describes the old behaviour, there is potential for it to catch people who are using unescaped no-arg messages:
- Renders the specified resource value and arguments as a String.
- If there are no arguments, then the String value of the resource
- is returned directly. If there are arguments, then the resource
- is treated as a
{@link MessageFormat} pattern and used to format
* the specified argument values.
* Renders the specified resource value and arguments as a String.
* The resource is treated as a {@link MessageFormat}
pattern which
- is used for formatting along with any specified argument values.
Thanks, Rod. Your change looks great.
If this change requires a change to the javadocs, it's basically changing previously-expected behavior.
Should we maybe reprecate the "render" method and implement another one alongside it with these new semantics? I can't really see how the existing semantics make any sense in the first place, but this is supposed to be a stable API.
No, the render method is central to most of the ResourceTool methods. The only way to offer both semantics is to make the behavior configurable. I considered that and am still open to it, but i was feeling lazy. I don't think that many people would have relied on MessageFormat not processing messages without args. You're right though, we are trying not only to keep the API as stable as possible now that 2.0 is in beta, and more importantly, we are trying to provide backwards compatibility with 1.3+.
I suppose the best way to go would be to make ResourceTool watch for deprecationSupportMode. It could then do the old thing for those using older toolboxes or the old ResourceTool class, or anyone who set that property.
Also, we could mention somewhere that $text.foo.raw (adding '.raw') does the equivalent of the old behavior and returns the resource without letting MessageFormat get its hands on it.

Jay Cutler could use a pair of fish tweezers
If you've got some extra cash lying around (or you're just a huge Bears fan), quarterback Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari have registered for wedding gifts in advance of their summer wedding.
So. come on. Via USA Today, let's delve into the happy couple's Williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrel lists and figure out what's the best item to purchase.
Let's see: At C&B, you could go with a Cha Cha pitcher for $29.95 or a Charlotte pedestal for $39.95 (presumably for holding a delicious cake) or an All-Clad 6.5 quart slow cooker for $179.95 (I don't know why they just don't go with a Crock-Pot and be done with it).
At W-S, a molcajete for $49.95 is still available (for making homemade salsa, I'd guess) along with one of nine cookbook choices and 48 (!) Haviland Tambour dessert plates.
But my favorite item is this: fish tweezers for $49.95. What are fish tweezers, you ask? Well, silly, they're the instrument that you use to remove sharp fish bones (my fish tweezers, on the other hand, is simply me not buying fish with bones in it).
Or, considering this was how the two decided to get married for the second time, perhaps buying the two a couple of extra phone chargers wouldn't be a bad idea, either. Or some stamps.

Getting StartedRapid technological advances. Increased wealth. Stress. Stable lives and careers come under the pressure of accelerating change. The twenty-first century? No, the sixth century B.C.E.—a time of destructive warfare, economic dislocation, and widespread disruption of established patterns of life, just like today. In conditions similar to ours, the Buddha discovered a path to lasting happiness. His discovery—a step-by-step method of mental training to achieve contentment—is as relevant today as ever. Putting the Buddha's discovery into practice is no quick fix. It can take years. The most important qualification at the beginning is a strong desire to change your life by adopting new habits and learning to see the world anew. More »

The Heart of the MatterMy desire for achievement has led to much suffering. No matter what I do, it never feels like it's enough. How can I make peace with myself? The quality of your action depends on the quality of your being. Suppose you're eager to offer happiness, to make someone happy. That's a good thing to do. But if you're not happy, then you can't do that. In order to make another person happy, you have to be happy yourself. So there's a link between doing and being. If you don't succeed in being, you can't succeed in doing. If you don't feel that you're on the right path, happiness isn't possible. This is true for everyone; if you don't know where you're going, you suffer. It's very important to realize your path and see your true way. More »

Lighten Up!Life, though full of woe, holds also sources of happiness and joy, unknown to most. Let us teach people to seek and to find real joy within themselves and to rejoice with the joy of others! Let us teach them to unfold their joy to ever sublimer heights! Noble and sublime joy is not foreign to the Teaching of the Enlightened One. Wrongly, the Buddha's Teaching is sometimes considered to be a doctrine diffusing melancholy. Far from it: the Dhamma leads step by step to an ever purer and loftier happiness. —Nyanaponika Thera (1901–1994) More »

Who's Zoomin' Who? The Commodification of Buddhism in the American MarketplaceAfter the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree in Bodhgaya, he walked the dusty roads to the Deer Park in Sarnath, where he delivered his first sermon, The Sutra of the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma. Here for the first time he described life's conditions in terms of the Four Noble Truths, declaring desire, craving, "thirst" as the driving force that keeps us stuck in the mire of suffering called samsara.

We bought this stove as a new stove and after two years of use the main electrical panel went out. It costs more to replace the part than the stove cost in the first place. Yikes
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Poor Oven too many issues
By Jill
from Florence, CO
I bought this in November and did not appear to have many issues, it did take time for the oven to heat up but that was manageable. Today my oven will not work. I called customer service and was told that no one could come repair this for almost a month and that there are no other options but for me to wait, this would not be so bad if I did not need to make dinners. I was also not able to get a repair time that would allow for me to be home without taking the day off work and the service agent was really rude about the whole thing. Knowing this I will never buy a stove from them again, this is too much trouble to go through for one stove.

Not our best purchase !
By P&C's Kitchen
from san bernardino, ca
We bought this in March of last year. I noticed that the top oven seems to quickly cook or slightly burn the bottom of whatever is cooking so it seems to be most efficient for broiling. If I'm making cookies I always use the bottom oven because it is bigger and the heat seems to distribute more evenly. I also noticed that the knobs sometimes gets stuck when trying to turn on and the lettering around the knobs that tells you high/med/low is wearing off. All in all, could be better for the money we spent.
Cooking Great ! ! Storage painful!
By RedRoss53
from Hickory Corners, MI
We switched from electric to gas for "instant heat" - instant "off". Reviews for this range were good. After installing it we are happy with the cooking side. HOWEVER: We opted to buy a range with storage drawer underneath for pots and pans, and have the broiler in the oven area. That being said - the storage is really unacceptable in my opinion. The drawer does not close smoothly - each and every time we have used it has resulted in extra time to "nudge it" into place. Admittedly this is a minor issue, but Whirlpool could have spent $3 for a better system and we would have been very happy. Now - as long as we own this there will be a bitter taste in our mouth about the extra hassle! So - if you don't ever use the storage area (or seldom) - you will likely be very pleased with the range. And aside from this - we are too. It just sticks in my craw that a company like Whirlpool would sell an otherwise great product with this weakness.If you are considering buying this please take an extra minute to try the storage drawer (if you plan to use it) and see where my frustrations stem from.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Only good short term
By Zen
from Perth Amboy, NJ
We bought this range as a mother's day gift to our mom a little over a year ago. The back control panel bubbled up due to the heat and two of the knobs no longer work. Of course this happens right after the one year warranty is up. I Looked to see if it was ever recalled with no luck. I expected more from Whirlpool, especially due to the amount of money we paid. Disappointed and Frustrated!

MGMT at First Avenue, 11/18/13
Photo by Mark N. Kartarik
with Kuroma
First Avenue, Minneapolis
Monday, November 19, 2013
Is it a good or a bad sign when a show has to move from a larger venue to a smaller one? For one, Andrew VanWyngarden, the lead singer of MGMT didn't care.
He told the audience, "It sure is cool to play here at First Avenue," bringing cheers from the young group of kids there to see the band's style of ambient indie rock. So, for those who could drink, they did, and the ones who snuck in something else, they used it. For the sober ones, the evening could have used a little pick-me-up at times.
See Also: Slideshow: MGMT at First Avenue, 11/18/13
For a band that made a name around dance music, MGMT lack the moves onstage. But what they lacked, they made up for in screen projections behind them. The band was comprised of VanWyngarden, his collaborator, Ben Goldwasser, and opening band Kuroma that turned into the backing band for MGMT -- what a financially efficient way to tour. The group opened with "Weekend Wars" off of their breakout album Oracular Spectacular.
Photos by Mark N. Kartarik
Songs off the band's second album, Congratulations, and newest, MGMT, took the group in a different direction. A band that wrote catchy, synth tunes took on psychedelic '70s rock, losing some fans while gaining others. A few of those pieces such as "I Found a Whistle," "Introspection," and "Flash Delirium" fell into the zone of "weird for the sake of being weird," although "Of Moons, Birds and Monsters" off Oracular already showed signs of change in the band's sound. Anyone that paid attention to the screen projection behind the group was treated to intense scenes from flying birds to aliens to nonsensical pictures.
Though not considered to be a shoegaze band, MGMT fits the role perfectly at times, especially when Andrew brings out his falsetto. One of the group's bigger hits, "Electric Feel," was immediately recognized in the beginning riffs, making the audience cheer to the pulsing synth-driven kaleidoscopic piece.
What everyone was actually waiting for was the massively fun "Kids." As soon as Goldwasser hit the first notes, all of the kids were off their feet. Phones were pulled out as VanWyngarden took his hand-held camera and pointed it at the audience. So meta. With their extended bridge, the band got to jam on three different keyboards, stretching the piece to over eight minutes and extending the party a little bit longer. Hopefully this is not a parallel to the band's career -- living off the one hit. As the group gathered after the bridge to finish out the song, MGMT was in their element, and reminded everyone that they still knew how to throw a party.
They followed up with a new piece "Alien Days" and came back for a two song encore of "Your Life is a Lie" and "Pieces of What?" a song that questions the significance of life, but with "Kids" out of the way, the rest of the evening fell a little flat.
Photos by Mark N. Kartarik
Critic's bias: Admittedly, I stopped listening to MGMT after Oracular Spectacular, so for those that know the catalog better than me, it was most likely a more fun night. I did see them years ago when they opened for Beck at the Roy Wilkins and was a little underwhelmed by their performance then, also.
The crowd: More younger dudes than girls that nodded politely along to the songs.
Overheard in the crowd: "I hate when people call them 'Management.'" Me, too.
Random notebook dump: Due to the curfew, "The Handshake" was left off the setlist, and much thanks to the soundguy who got me the setlist.

In these instances, you'll wear your swimsuit sans cover-up. But there are times in these settings when you'll probably want to partially cover up your body and suit for some modesty.
Here are twelve ways to cover up your swimsuit!
Wrap: Wraps come in all sorts of fabrics and sizes, covering the bottom half of your suit. Solid, patterned, long, short, cotton or spandex-rich. Crochet and mesh versions are lovely too.
Pareo: These types of wraps that halter round the neck provide a fun '70s flashback. They can also double duty as a normal wrap.
Clamdiggers: Great in denim or cotton.
Casual Dress: Again, so many options available. From sporty styles that are fast drying and gear-like, to bohemian maxi dresses and little roomy cotton numbers. Think lightweight wovens and crochet fabrications.
Romper or Jumpsuit: Not the practical solution if you're heading to the restroom, but oh so fun. Both long and short versions are just as cute!
Baggy Drawstring Pants: You're after linen, or something gauzy, cotton-rich or even crochet. Wide legged and very drapey.
Full Skirt: Wear the skirt over your swimsuit just like that.
Tunic Pull-over: These can be knitted or woven, roomy or fitted, and are in a pull-on style. The hemlines are often high-low and the fabric fairly transparent. Sometimes they are mesh or crochet.
Rashguard Tee: These formfitting tees that match your swimsuit are worn on top, with or without a pair of shorts or skirt. Quite sporty, both in long and shorter sleeves.
So there you have it! 12 gorgeous ways to cover up!

The estimated retail value of sales of Fairtrade products were £1.67 billion in 2014, down 3.7% year-on-year.
Sales of bananas, which were the focus of the Fairtrade Foundation's Make Bananas Fair campaign, grew 3% by volume. Sales of coffee, the focus of Fairtrade's Great British Fairness Debate campaign, increased 2% by volume. Fairtrade tea and Fairtrade cocoa sales fell slightly, by 1% and 2% respectively.
78% of people in the UK say that recognise the FAIRTRADE Mark (TNS 2012).
80% of people say it is important that companies contribute to poverty reduction (Globescan 2011).

One of my absolute guilty pleasures is banana bread. It's a great way to use bananas that are too mushy too eat. Bananas that are super mushy are disgusting to eat, but make the most delicious banana bread. Did you know that if your bananas are ready to use for breads or muffins, but you aren't ready to make them you can actually freeze the bananas! Buy the bananas that are on clearance in your produce department to save big bucks, freeze them, and defrost them 2 hours before you are ready to bake!
4 ripened bananas (thawed)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 T cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1 stick butter (room temperature)
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
2 eggs
Total Cost for these muffins: approximately $1.75 for 12 muffins!
Preheat oven to 325
If your bananas are frozen, set them out to defrost for two hours.
Once your butter is room temperature, blend the sugar and butter together in a mixer until light and fluffy.
Once mixed, add 1 egg at a time to the sugar/butter mixture.
In another bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients and mix together with a whisk.
Add bananas to sugar mixture and blend until mixed in.
1/2 a cup at a time add the flour mixture to the banana/sugar mixture and blend just until all the flour is gone. (Mixture should be lumpy)
Grease a 12 cupcake pan with butter. Fill them 3/4 full with the batter.
Place in oven at 325 for approximately 20-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Let rest for 5 minutes before removing and setting on a cooling rack.
Don't miss the super delicious, totally sarcastic newsletter of awesomeness.

Against Leviathan: Government Power and a Free Society
Recorded: Wednesday, September 29, 2004
September 29, 2004
Oakland, CA
What is fundamentally wrong with government today? Since 2001, despite low inflation, federal spending has increased by a massive 28.8%, creating the largest deficits in U.S. history and the highest rate of government growth since the "guns-and-butter" presidencies of Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. At the same time, federal agencies have been given new powers to secretly search anyone's property and intercept phone, Internet, and other communications, as well as inspect health and financial records. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, economist and historian Robert Higgs alone predicted this explosion of government power, as politicians have again taken full advantage of a frightened American public.
At this special Independent Policy Forum based on his new book, Against Leviathan, Dr. Higgs will present an unflinchingly critical analysis of the abuse of government power, including pork, the welfare state, protectionism, trampling on the Bill of Rights, and governmental responses to a continuing stream of "crises," including foreign wars, both hot and cold. Dr. Higgs combines an economist's analytical scrutiny, an historian's respect for the facts, and a refusal to accept the standard excuses and cruelties of government officialdom.

Whenever I feel the need to renew my faith in American ingenuity, there's no better tonic than listening to a bunch of college students present business plans.
The energy, the enthusiasm, the ideas. All were on display in Huntsman Hall on the University of Pennsylvania campus Wednesday when eight teams faced off in the finals of the 12th Wharton Business Plan Competition.
In recent years, student competitions have trended toward all things Internet. But six of the eight finalists at Wharton were medical start-ups, including the winner of the $20,000 grand prize, Cortical Concepts.

One of the biggest acquisitions of a Chinese company was announced this week, and it will have a direct effect on about 450 workers in our region.
Charles River Laboratories International Inc. agreed to buy WuXi PharmaTech (Cayman) Inc. in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $1.6 billion.
If you're not employed in the pharmaceutical industry, you've probably never heard of either company. But Charles River is one of the biggest contract-research organizations, with 2009 sales of $1.2 billion.

I have yet to get a press release from a company that says it will not be supporting a park clean-up or homeless shelter repainting.
Not a day goes by that some business doesn't try to convince me or another reporter to write about its Haiti donation or soup-kitchen volunteer work.
You didn't read about the thousands of Comcast Corp. employees that turned out for volunteer projects on Saturday's Comcast Cares Day. Or last Wednesday, when more than 250 Aramark Corp. workers helped spruce up areas in North Philadelphia and Camden.

Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will visit Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Co. in Philadelphia Friday afternoon, according to U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah (D., Philadelphia).
Locke will tour the 78-year-old maker of saltwater reels and talk about the Obama administration's plan to double exports over the next five years, Fattah said.
The Penn Fishing factory on Hunting Park Avenue in the city's Nicetown-Tioga section makes the privately held company's high-end reels.

While the business world was in slow-down mode for much of 2009, the Philadelphia region hosted a lot of business meetings.
Select Greater Philadelphia analyzed a database assembled by Moorestown-based Basecamp Business of the networking events, conferences, seminars and forums held inside and outside the city.
That online calendar tool had listed 3,504 events in Philadelphia and the 10 other counties that Select Greater Philadelphia considers its core region. (It adds Mercer County in New Jersey and New Castle County in Delaware to the nine-county primary metropolitan statistical area.)

I now declare that annual meeting season is in full swing.
This week, Cigna, FMC and 19 Philadelphia-area public companies will invite their shareholders to hotels, colleges, country clubs or their corporate headquarters to take care of some corporate governance business. (You can read the full list at the bottom of this column.)
In scanning many proxy statements in 2010, I find it's a rather boring year on the shareholder activism scale. Maybe the much vilified big banks and other financial companies are hogging all the attention?

Next Tuesday, bankers will head into classrooms across the nation for "Teach Children To Save" day.
As they prepare to do so, I offer some comments from a lawyer who participated in the American Bankers Association's other big financial literacy event, "Get Smart About Credit," on Oct. 15.
Leonard A. Bernstein, a partner in Reed Smith L.L.P.'s Philadelphia and Princeton offices who focuses on financial regulation, talked to students at Moorestown High School about credit cards.

Since the 2008 election of President Obama, Richard Bendis has been pushing for more innovation and early-stage investment in business in the United States.
He has a daily e-newsletter, called innovationDaily. He frequently speaks before groups such as the National Academy of Sciences and works as a consultant with states and countries on programs to encourage innovation.
Bendis came to Philadelphia in 2001 to become the founding CEO of Innovation Philadelphia, a city-funded organization started by then-Mayor John Street to tout Philadelphia as a hotbed of high-tech.
