In 1994, Tobias Frere-Jones completed Hightower for the Journal of the American Institute of Graphic Arts.
For as long as he had drawn letters, he had wrestled with the problems posed by any modern rendition of the fifteenth-century Venetian roman.
Dissatisfied with others' attempts to bring Nicholas Jenson's 1470 roman up to date, Frere-Jones prepared his version of this calligraphic roman, with his own personal italic.

GLEN BURNIE, Md. (WUSA) -- A suspect has been arrested for an assault on four people at a Glen Burnie apartment building where a fire also occurred on Thursday.
Anne Arundel County Police say 20-year-old Toriano Avery Angibeau of Glen Burnie assaulted four people during an altercation inside and outside of the apartment building in the 7800-block of Tall Pines Court. No one was seriously injured, but Angibeau was charged with four counts of second degree assault.
Officers responded to the reported assault on Thursday shortly before 3 a.m. and learned about an argument during a party spilled out into a parking lot. At some point someone received an injury to his or her face and was taken to a local hospital, but refused treatment.
Firefighters also arrived for a reported fire at the same apartment building. Fire marshal's office authorities say the fire now appears to be related to the assault, but authorities did not provide any other details.
The Fire Marshall's Office continues to investigate.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police at 410-222-6145.

- Description
Blessed Herbs uses only the highest quality organic ingredients in The Colon Cleansing Kit™. You are unique: your body is not an "off the shelf" product. Then why would you ingest synthetic compounds and artificial ingredients found in so many store-bought cleanses? Designed to work synergistically by a master herbalist, our ingredients naturally cleanse, restore and revitalize.*
Three Cleansing Options
9 Day Program
This is the most highly recommended and often used way to take The Colon Cleansing Kit™, as food in the intestines greatly limits the kit's ability to remove mucoid plaque. This method involves a three day pre-cleanse with decreasing food portions and/or diet changes followed by five days of liquids-only fasting while taking Toxin Absorber five times per day and one day to break the fast.
Get the step-by-step process here:
Blessed Herbs 9 Day Program
8 Day Program
For those who feel they cannot handle going five days without food, you can complete an 8 day program with a modified diet. Remember, the more you eat, the less effective this cleanse will be. During this method, you will use the chart in your Users Guide titled "Controlling the Strength of your Cleanse." This chart will show the effects of eating more or less during your cleanse. You will follow the same schedule as the best option but without the liquids-only fasting.
Get the step-by-step process here:
Blessed Herbs 8 Day Program
30 Day Program
The third option requires little modification to your diet and no fasting. Just take one packet of Toxin Absorber™ one hour before bedtime every night for 30 days. Following the Users Guide dietary suggestions will help strengthen your cleanse as well. This method is excellent for cleansing the bowels, especially if you are usually constipated and/or want to establish a pattern of regularity, or simply want a very gentle, non-intrusive cleanse.*

Blessed Herbs 30 Day Program
What's The "Gut" Truth About Colon Cleansing?
Are you suffering from constipation, allergies, fatigue, skin problems, mood swings, bad breath or food intolerance? These problems may be rooted in your digestive system.
Your digestive system has a direct impact on your total health. Digestion is the mechanical and chemical process of breaking down food into molecules small enough to be absorbed through your intestinal lining. However, old waste and hardened mucus can hinder absorption. You need a healthy, clean and intact intestinal lining to absorb the maximum nutrients possible.
As important as it is to digest and absorb, it is equally important to eliminate. Once digestion and absorption are completed, undigested food, bacteria, metabolic wastes, hormones, cholesterol, and environmental toxins need to be removed from the body to prevent autointoxication. This happens through bowel movements. If you don't have daily bowel movements, you may experience a host of uncomfortable symptoms, from bloating to low energy.
How Does Herbal Colon Cleansing Help?
Colon cleansing can improve how you break down food, absorb nutrients and eliminate wastes.* Herbal colon cleansing supports digestion by stimulating and toning the natural secretions and functions of your stomach, pancreas, intestines, liver and gallbladder.* This breaks down food molecules to supply your body with the nutrients it needs.
Your Body's Defenses
With 10x the surface area of your skin, your intestinal wall is the potential entrance to foreign invaders. A poorly functioning digestive system exposes your body to toxins in your bloodstream. Your body may react with an inappropriate immune response which can drain your energy and even lead to allergies and autoimmune conditions. Colon cleansing helps restore digestive functions and reduce the burden on your immune system.*
Mental Clarity & Focus
Without regular elimination (at least once per day), undigested food can literally compost in your body, releasing toxins into your bloodstream. This can adversely affect your mental and emotional state. Herbal colon cleansing can reduce this internal source of toxins, clearing your thinking and reducing emotional swings.*
Cravings & Food Dependencies
Impaired digestion creates a cycle of craving more food and stronger flavors. What you really need is better nutrition. Many people have found that our herbal cleansing kits are a terrific aid in breaking this cycle and decreasing their dependence on habit-forming foods such as sugar, caffeine, and junk foods. This means fewer highs and lows and steady, long lasting energy. You can also experience relief from body and breath odors, gas and flatulence, bloating, and a white or coated tongue.*
Clearer Skin & Appearance
When the body's main elimination channel, the colon, is backed up, toxic molecules overflow into the bloodstream and travel to the skin, which is another pathway for wastes to exit the body. Colon cleansing can help you achieve clearer skin and let your true radiance shine through.*
What Are The Benefits of Blessed Herbs Colon Cleansing Kit?
Blessed Herbs uses only top-grade medicinal strength herbal ingredients. Our master herbalists simply won't use poor quality herbs to reduce costs. This would lower the effectiveness of our cleansing program.
1. Rejuvenates The Digestive System*
The herbal formulas of the Colon Cleansing Kit™ are designed to restore and encourage the natural functions of your entire digestive system, including the stomach, the small and large (colon) intestines,liver, gallbladder and pancreas.*
Stimulates digestive secretions*
Provides tonic support for digestive organs and mucus membranes*
Decongests the liver and stimulates bile flow*
2. Removes Old, Accumulated Waste From Small & Large (Colon) Intestines*
Colon cleansing combined with a liquids-only fast enables our herbal blend to literally bind to and pull out old waste that is stuck to your intestinal walls.* You can also use our Colon Cleansing Kit™ without fasting for gentler colon cleansing and increased regularity.*
3. Assures Regular & Comfortable Bowel Movements*
Our herbal stimulant formula not only helps the bowels move regularly (2-3 times/day), but also includes carminative herbs that reduce or eliminate cramps, gas and griping that could be caused by stimulating herbs taken on their own.
- What's in the Kit?
Included in Your Kit
The Colon Cleansing Kit™ contains the highest quality herbal formulas, an in-depth Users Guide and Dosage Calendar, and several accessories to make your cleanse easier and more enjoyable. All of our formulas use only organic or wild herbs, are packed in amber glass for maximum freshness, use vegetarian capsules, and are free from any artificial ingredients.
Toxin Absorber™ (Ginger or Peppermint) - 30 Packets
Digestive Stimulator™ - 90 Vegetarian Capsules
Shaker Jar - 1 Glass Jar with Lid (to mix Toxin Absorber™)
Dosage Calendar - 1 Printed Booklet
Users Guide - 1 Printed Booklet
The Colon Cleansing Kit™ contains the high quality herbal formulas that you see below. These colon cleansing formulas use only wild / organic herbs, are free from any artificial ingredients, use vegetarian capsules and are packed in amber glass for maximum freshness! Take the time to explore the colon cleanser formulas below.
Toxin Absorber™ (Ginger or Peppermint)
During this program you will take Toxin Absorber with apple juice or water once a day to help draw the build-up off the intestinal walls. It is an herbal supplement of psyllium seed husks, apple pectin, ginger root OR peppermint leaf, and Bentonite clay.
Though ginger root has a hot, spicy taste and peppermint leaf has a cool minty taste, they are not added to the Toxin Absorber formula in our cleansing kits for their flavoring, but rather for their effects on the body. Either one can help relieve digestive upsets and harmonize the formula, but ginger supports more parts of the body than peppermint does. Ginger not only supports digestion, but also the cardiovascular and immune systems. Ginger also encourages the growth of friendly bacteria in the gut, dispels unwanted para-organisms, helps make the other herbs in the formula more bioavailable to the body, and helps expel toxins.*
Although we recommend ginger for these additional benefits, that doesn't make it is appropriate for everyone. About 70% of our customers choose ginger and 30% choose peppermint. Please read the following information carefully to help choose the best option. Don't choose based on taste alone, unless none of the conditions listed below apply to you.
Choose Ginger if any if the following applies to you:
You feel cold most of the time, or have a feeling of heat, but only in the afternoon or evening, often with night sweats
You usually like heat and dislike cold, except during a hot spell
You have cold extremities
CAUTION: If you have a hiatal hernia, choose ginger because peppermint may cause more acid reflux due to a relaxing effect on the lower esophageal sphincter.
Choose Peppermint if any if the following applies to you:
You have a feeling of heat most of the time.
You usually like cold and dislike heat.
You sometimes have a burning sensation in your stomach.
CAUTION: If you are taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs or aspirin, choose peppermint, because ginger at high doses may increase the blood-thinning effect of these drugs, but peppermint does not.
Digestive Stimulator™
Digestive Stimulator™ is a natural herbal supplement that tones, cleanses, and purifies the entire digestive system.* The dosages vary from person to person to assure that their bowels are moving at least three times a day. During this program it is vitally important that one has regular bowel movements to keep the Toxin Absorber™ moving through the intestinal system.
An herbal dietary supplement of Cape Aloe leaf, Aloe Vera leaf, Cascara Sagrada bark, Chinese Rhubarb root†, Triphala† (Amla fruit, Chebulic Myrobalan fruit, Belleric Myrobalan fruit), Barberry root, Dandelion root†, Fringe Tree root bark, Meadowsweet aerial parts†, English Plantain aerial parts†, Ginger root†, Fennel seed†, Peppermint leaf†, Fenugreek seed†, and Licorice root†.
Shaker Jar
A shaker jar is provided to mix the Toxin Absorber™ with juice. We recommend organic apple juice, which makes the main formula of this cleanse, Toxin Absorber™, much easier to drink. You can take it with water, but we have found it tastes much better and goes down more smoothly with apple juice. In addition, apple juice has cleansing powers and helps with the rejuvenation process.* You can drink apple juice at any time during this colon cleanse for a little more energy or a change from just water.

- FAQ's
Colon Cleansing Questions
Will I have to go to the bathroom constantly when doing the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
Not with the Colon Cleansing Kit™ (above) from Blessed Herbs. While you will be going to the restroom on a more frequent basis vs. any given day, you will not have any overwhelming, uncontrollable, or urgent need to go. This is because the Digestive Stimulator™ formula (this is an important component to our colon cleanse kit) has been formulated to act surely but gently within your body. You will find it easy, quick and comfortable to have three or more bowel movements per day.*
What is mucoid plaque?
Mucoid plaque is a buildup of viscous material along the inner lining of your intestinal tract. This differs from the healthy mucosa your stomach and digestive system needs for normal function – it is an accumulation of left-over toxins and waste that were left behind during your body's natural cleansing and detoxifying processes.
Cleansing the colon seeks to naturally rid your body of mucoid plaque, scouring your gastrointestinal tract for built up toxins, debris, leftover food particles and expelling this waste from your body. This supports digestive wellness*, optimizes nutrient uptake*, and will leave you feeling clean, detoxified and rejuvenated!*
When will I start to see mucoid plaque?
If you've selected to use the Colon Cleansing Kit™ (above) with the BEST option, the majority of users generally report seeing mucoid plaque on the second or third day. This is because your intestines take time to empty solid food and begin the colon cleansing process.
How will I feel during my colon cleanse?
Each person feels differently during the cleansing process. Some feel a renewed source of energy stemming from the expulsion of toxins and waste which has been weighing them down. Other people vary from feeling great to not-so-great, depending on which part of the colon cleanse they are doing.
Please note: There are occasional discomforts associated with cleansing the colon called cleansing reactions. There can be superficial cleansing reactions as well as deep cleansing reactions – but all reactions to your colon cleanse are only temporary, and always lead to a feeling of more energy, vitality, and renewed health.*
What is a superficial colon cleansing reaction?
A superficial colon cleansing reaction is your body's way of reacting to the detoxifying and rejuvenating ingredients of the colon cleanse. Superficial cleansing reactions can last anywhere from one hour to as long as 1 or 2 days. They usually manifest themselves as mildly unpleasant or disruptive symptoms such as itching, headaches, aches in your muscles or joints, body odor, sweating, bad breath, sleepiness, exhaustion or loss of appetite.
Superficial cleansing reactions usually pass quickly and do not cause any harm to your body. You can help yourself feel better during a superficial colon cleansing reaction by relaxing and drinking a cup of Refreshing Green Tea Blend™ – an antioxidant tea that also gives you a much-needed "pick me up."
What is a deep colon cleansing reaction?
A deep colon cleansing reaction is more intense than a superficial colon cleansing reaction and usually manifests as signs or symptoms of previous traumas or illness. These kinds of cleansing reactions can be concurrent with superficial cleansing reactions or occur on their own. They can last for a few hours or even a few days.
During these kinds of cleansing reactions your body is revitalizing and rejuvenating the systems affected by your past trauma. Deep colon cleansing reactions pass quickly, leaving you feeling better than ever. However, if at any point you are having a severe reaction to the colon cleanse, we recommend that you discontinue use and consult your health care advisor.
Can I exercise while doing the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
Yes, you can – however, don't push it. If you are following the best colon cleansing option and fasting, you should make sure not to overwork your body. Also, if you have a superficial cleansing reaction, you should also take a break. The key to exercising when cleansing is "self-assessment". If you feel good and strong, then exercise – but keep an easy routine. Walk, don't run – and don't do any heavy-lifting exercises.
What is involved in a liquids-only diet?
A liquids-only fast or diet is a temporary change in your dietary habits that supports a more effective colon cleanse. A liquids-only diet involves not eating any solid foods or foods that have been liquefied, pureed or blended. This will allow the Toxin Absorber™ to easily bind to the surface of your intestines without the interference of any solid food covering the intestinal surface.
You will ingest the necessary energy and sustenance you need from pure water, strained organic vegetable broth, organic fruit juices and herbal teas. In the case of the Colon Cleansing Kit™ (featured above) and our internal body cleanser, we recommend organic apple juice – as well as the Refreshing Green Tea Blend™. A great recipe for a vegetable soup broth is available in both of these cleansing kits should you require more than juice.
Will I be hungry all the time?
Both cleansing kits require taking Toxin Absorber™ 5 times per day, which will cut down on hunger pains. If you cannot finish the suggested liquids-only diet, you will still benefit from cleansing your colon. Also, you can have an organic vegetable soup broth or more apple juice if you need additional energy.
We recommend trying our Organic Superfood™ daily as a way to help provide nutritional support for your body while you are cleansing. Now with 32 certified organically grown ingredients and in an easy to pour stick pack, the Organic Superfood provides beneficial antioxidants and immune boosting nutrients, along with vitamins, minerals, fiber and protein from a variety of greens, vegetables, grains, sprouts, fruit and mushrooms.
How often should I do the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
The best guide to how often to do a colon cleanse is to simply listen to your body. The minimum would be about once per year – the maximum every 3 months, with a robust rebuilding dietary program. If you've never cleansed before or are not in the best of health, you may find the need to cleanse your colon more frequently during your first 2-3 years of using a colon cleanse to better your health.
After that, once a year or once every spring and every fall should be good enough – as stated before, listen to your body and choose the regimen and frequency that is right for you. Cleansing your colon is meant to restore your body's natural flow, energy and rhythm – just go with it!
How does the Colon Cleansing Kit™ work?
Doing a colon cleanse is a mainstay of all-natural health. Cleansing works by promoting healthy digestion, optimizing nutrient uptake and absorption, and by drawing, absorbing and flushing out built-up toxins from your body. By getting rid of waste and harmful toxins as well as cleaning the walls of your gastrointestinal system, you restore balance, energy and function to your body.
The Colon Cleansing Kit™ (featured above) works through a two-part formula: the Digestive Stimulator™ and Toxin Absorber™. Digestive Stimulator™ encourages easy and effective bowel movements. Toxin Absorber™ helps clean your digestive tract by absorbing toxins and stripping built up mucoid plaque, old food debris and unwanted waste from your intestinal walls so that it may be expelled from your body.
Does the Colon Cleansing Kit™ benefit the liver?
One of the most important and hardest working vital organs in your body is the liver. It is tasked with processing, neutralizing and removing toxins from your system (just to name a few). Since the Colon Cleansing Kit™ (above) does help get rid of accumulated waste and toxins from your digestive system and helps promote optimal digestive function and nutrient absorption, cleansing your colon benefits the liver immensely.*
It does have to be said that the Internal Cleansing Kit™, with its potent and thorough selection of detoxifying, cleansing and rejuvenating formulas, may be the better option to cleanse your liver. Because the Internal Cleansing Kit™ has a more involved cleanse designed to revitalize not only your digestive system but also your other detoxifying systems including your lungs, gall bladder, kidneys and liver, the our internal cleanser is a much better choice for supporting liver health than the Colon Cleansing Kit™ alone.
How soon will I begin to experience results from the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
Some colon cleansing products work faster than others. The Colon Cleansing Kit™ (listed above) and the Internal Cleansing Kit™ both begin with a pre-cleanse period, where you determine "your number" of all-natural Digestive Stimulator™ pills to take in order to ensure several easy, comfortable bowel movements per day. So in this sense, Blessed Herbs colon cleansers begin to work as soon as you've found "your number".
The actual process of removing drawing and absorbing toxins from your colon and body requires the ingestion of our Toxin Absorber™ formula (this is a mainstay of both our colon and internal cleansing kits). So in this sense, the colon cleansing kits begin drawing and eliminating toxins from your body as soon as you begin taking the Toxin Absorber™ formula.
When it comes to the actual benefits of sense of vigor, renewed energy, healthy digestion, and better absorption of vitamins, minerals and nutrients from the food we eat, these benefits will become apparent soon after you've completed your colon cleanse.
What, if any, negative side effects will I experience from the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
Please see superficial cleansing reactions and deep cleansing reactions. As your body adjusts to the regimen of your colon cleanse and you begin to eliminate toxins from your body, you may experience some passing side effects of the colon cleanser.
If you are doing the best option when it comes to cleansing and engaging in a liquids-only fast for the duration outlined in your users guide, feelings of discomfort may be intensified – especially if you've never fasted before. All these feelings of discomfort will pass – if you feel that your reaction is too much for you, discontinue use of the colon cleanse and seek medical intervention.
Can I lose weight with regular usage of the Colon Cleansing Kit™?
Many people have reported weight loss from using this colon cleanser kit. However, neither colon nor internal cleanses are intended as a weight loss regimen. By ridding your body of toxins and cleansing your digestive system of pent-up debris, you improve nutrient uptake and enjoy a more balanced total-body system.
Your body will feel much more in-tune with itself, and if you augment your newfound balance with a healthy diet and sensible exercise, you will experience a plethora of health and wellness.
Is the Colon Cleansing Kit™ effective for relieving constipation?
Neither the Colon Cleansing Kit™ (listed above) nor the Internal Cleansing Kit™ is designed to relieve constipation – or cure, prevent or treat any disease for that matter. However, cleansing the colon may restore digestive health and optimal function of your digestive system. After doing a colon cleanse it is not uncommon to experience a heightened sense of wellness and health.
If I eat when using the Colon Cleansing Kit™, will I still get results shown in the pictures on your website?
In order to see results like the colon cleansing pictures you see on our website, we recommend you select the best option for the Colon Cleansing Kit™ (see above). Nearly 90% of our customers choose to use the BEST option when using our all-natural colon cleanse. If you choose to eat during this cleanse, you will still clean and eliminate toxins throughout your intestinal system, help establish regularity, support your digestion and remove smaller bits of waste buildup.
Is the Colon Cleansing Kit™ effective for relieving symptoms of IBS?
Neither the Colon Cleansing Kit™ (see above) nor the Internal Cleansing Kit™ is made to relieve symptoms of IBS – or cure, prevent or treat any disease or medical condition. However, colon cleansing does promote digestive health and optimal function of your digestive system.

Amazing. Easier than I thought it would be- I cleansed so much waste, and emotional heaviness at the same time.

|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have a tissue diagnosis of any of the following metastatic, well or moderately differentiated, slow growing neuroendocrine tumor and must demonstrate progressive metastatic disease by prior serial computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, or have increased symptoms from their tumors while on sandostatin LAR or octreotide.
- Carcinoid tumors originating anywhere in the body including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or bronchial tree
- Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (including functional and non-functional islet cell, insulinomas and glucagonomas)
- Pheochromocytomas, gastrinomas (Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome), multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) Type I/II, paragangliomas, adrenal carcinomas with NET markers by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or serum.
- Somatostatinoma, VIPoma, Merkel Cell tumors, medullary thyroid carcinoma
- Neuroendocrine tumors of unknown primary site
- Any other tumors with differentiated neuroendocrine features may be included such as aggressive pituitary adenomas/carcinomas, which are neuroendocrine in origin
- Patients must have progressed on octreotide therapy (up to and including Sandostatin LAR-60 mg/month) and/or radioactive isotopes linked to octreotide or its congeners if they has a positive octreotide scan. Patients who have negative or mildly positive octreotide scans are exempt from this requirement. Exceptions to this requirement are patients who have NETs in the pituitary gland. Sandostatin does not cross into the pituitary blood supply well.
- Measurable disease: Any primary and/or metastatic mass reproducibly measurable in one or two diameters by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) parameters by CT scan or MRI scan. Positive emission tomography (PET) or octreotide scans are useful adjuncts but will not be used to measure response Exceptions to RECIST: In the case of tumors of the head and neck, the criteria for response is not RECIST, we will follow standard criteria for head & neck tumors as suggested by ASCO 2009 guidelines. In the case of small lung lesions that are symptomatic, but do not meet RECIST, we will evaluate response by analyzing respiratory signs and symptoms (there is no other beneficial treatment available for these lesions)
- Ineligible for other high priority national or institutional studies
Prior radiation and surgery allowed: ≥3 weeks since surgery or chemotherapy or hepatic embolization/chemoembolization or radioactive isotopes (i.e. Yttrium 90)
≥4 weeks since RT
- Non pregnant females, not in menopause, who are not breast feeding with a negative serum β-HCG test within 1 week of starting the study. Men and women of childbearing potential must consent to using effective barrier contraception while on treatment and for 2 months thereafter.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior chemotherapy with capecitabine or temozolomide. Patients previously treated with continuous infusion 5-FU or any schedule of DTIC, which are similar to capecitabine and temozolomide, respectively, will be excluded. Patients can have had prior therapies up to 3 prior chemotherapy regimens such as bolus 5-FU, streptozocin, anthracyclines, CPT-11, etoposide, or a platinum agent
- Hypersensitivity: Patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to capecitabine, 5-FU, temozolomide or DTIC will be excluded (i.e. anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reactions)
- Serious medical or psychiatric illness preventing informed consent or intensive treatment (e.g, serious infection)
- Patients with tumor which has spread to the central brain (cerebral/cerebellum) and spinal cord.
- Patients with compromised immune systems are at increased risk of toxicity and lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Therefore, HIV-positive patients are excluded from the study

Mississippi's fifteen community colleges are focusing on their funding needs during the annual Capitol Day in Jackson.
The institutions are lobbying lawmakers for better funding. Both faculty and students are participating.
Community colleges are seeking mid-level funding, halfway between K-12 education and the regional public universities. Two-year schools say they are getting only getting 52 percent of the funding formula that was promised in 2007.
"Mid-Level Funding is a means to keep tuition affordable, to recruit and retain quality faculty, and prepare more students for work. It is also simple fairness," said Dr. Eric Clark, executive director of the Mississippi Community College Board.
Community colleges enroll more than 80,000 students, including 56 percent of all undergraduates and half of all students, including graduate students, taking a credit course.

The original 1990s American teen TV soap, Aaron Spelling's seminal hit Beverley Hills 90210 saw a prosperous 10 years on air. It was (successfully?) revived in 2008, touted as a "spinoff" and not a remake and is currently into its fifth season.
Admittedly, I have never seen the newest extension, but I do remember the world of the Walshes: the climatic Dylan/Kelly/Brandon drama, Brenda absconding to London in a feeble attempt to write her off the show and loving the brainy and bow-bedecked Andrea Zuckerman for her academic commitment, feminist inclinations and writerly ambitions. The original show, although highly problematic in many areas, actually conveyed development in the main characters to some degree over its arc of ten seasons, that I appreciate in retrospect.
But, more importantly I recently came across a blog post that highlighted the differences in female body types from the early 90s cast to the latest and greatest of today. Even though there is a starring cast member of color and another character is dealing with questions of his sexual orientation (one of the topics the old series never touched; in truth it addressed social issues methodically – broadly and softly), the revival disproportionately focuses around straight white teens,
Check out the side-by-side cast comparison below and how the thin ideal has gotten smaller and more sexualized over the past decade.
Don't get me wrong – the female cast members were thin THEN, but it's clearly evident that not only are the females thinner collectively in the current cast, they are also significantly more sexualized. This supports the idea that in recent years what women and girls are seeing reflected in popular culture among Hollywood starlets and celebrities is a body ideal that has gotten increasingly/excessively thinner and considerably less diverse. Even the men featured in the latest spinoff have displayed, chiseled bodies (in the beach scenes) versus the cast of yesteryear where Steve is the only one sans shirt.
Visually I also find it interesting that the 90s clan take photos where they are physically closer in many of the shots, their bodies are seemingly less on display for consumption.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more 26-inch Suspension Forks in stock than that.View Similar Products
FOX Racing Shox 34 Talas 26in 160 FIT CTD w/ Trail Adjust Fork $0.00
You have to get up in order to get down. And, not surprisingly, modern trail bikes clearly illustrate that point. For this reason, Fox Racing Shox built the 34 Talas 26in 160 FIT CTD with Trail Adjust Fork. The Talas spring enables you to lower the fork 30mm for more precise climbing, but when you're at the top, you'll have the full 160mm of plush travel on tap for the ride back down.
Like recent generations of Fox's Factory series forks, the Talas 160 controls its stroke with the venerable FIT damper. As you may have guessed, 'FIT' is an acronym, and it stands for Fox Isolated Technology. And, unlike a traditional open bath system, FIT means that the damper fluid is sealed in an air-tight bladder. This prevents contamination, which improves the consistency of the damper on long descents.
Long-time Fox riders will immediately notice Fox's Climb, Trail, Descend damper adjustments. And there's no need to worry, you're still getting the same adjustments to high- and low-speed compression, only its now packaged in a more user-friendly format. Climb mode provides the most damping for a near locked-out feel. Meanwhile, it still provides a bit of cushion for any unexpected hard hits. Click the damper into the Trail mode, and you'll find that there's ample low-speed compression in order to keep the fork riding high in the travel through berms, jumps, and rocks. Better yet, it still provides plenty of compliance in order to smooth out the ride. Trail mode has three sub-settings that allow you to tune exactly how much feedback that you need from your suspension. And, as you may have guessed, Descend mode provides the lightest compression damping for a plush ride.
Talas is short for Travel Adjust Linear Air Spring, and the ability to reduce the travel and fork height for climbing is what sets the Talas line apart from the Float line. This version of Fox's Talas spring sees some updates that cater to aggressive riding styles. Specifically, there's now a progressive ramp-up added to the end of the stroke, which helps to resist bottoming. And like previous generations, you're able to lower the fork 30mm, from 160mm to 130. So, you're able to expect this to steepen your head tube angle by about a degree, while lowering your bottom bracket roughly a half-inch. These geometry changes avoid low-speed handlebar flop, which aids in the climbing ability of modern long-travel trail bikes.
The 34 Talas 160 comes with Kashima coated stanchions. And, in addition to being 100% gold'er than the competition, the Kashima coating is harder than standard stanchion coatings. This equates to a longer wear life, as well as smoother suspension action.
The 34 chassis is brand new to Fox lineup, and it fills an obvious gap. Splitting the difference between the light weight of the 32 chassis, and the bombproof reliability of the 36 series, the 34 is built as a perfect companion to the latest generation of aggressive use trail bikes. At just over four pounds, this fork is no heavyweight. Better yet, it's built to ride rough trails day in and day out. That's thanks in part to the massive tapered steerer tube, which fights flex, especially under hard braking. And speaking of stiffness, Fox uses Shimano's 15mm QR axle assembly, which provides both added stiffness and increased security over a traditional 9mm QR skewer.
The Fox Racing Shox 34 Talas 26in 160 FIT CTD with Trail Adjust Fork is available in the color Black and with a 1.5-inch tapered steerer tube. Please note that this fork is only compatible with 26-inch wheels and 15QR thru-axles.

|Scary Colorado events remind parents to talk to kids about safety
|Written by Darci Tomky
Recent events in Colorado have put parents on guard about child safety issues.
10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway was abducted Oct. 5 on her way to school from her home in Westminster, and two other incidences in Merino and Haxtun have been reported in the last week.
Last Thursday, Oct. 11, a suspicious vehicle was seen driving past Holyoke Elementary School. Holyoke Police Department was notified, and they confirmed the driver of the vehicle was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Thankfully nothing happened, but Holyoke Elementary School still took the opportunity to remind the students and parents of safe practices.
In a letter sent home with students, Principal Kyle Stumpf was happy to report all staff and local law enforcement followed protocols and procedure flawlessly.
"Procedures work," said Superintendent Bret Miles, noting how staff used information from other school districts quickly and efficiently to make sure the scenario in Holyoke was not a threat to students.
Stumpf said it gives him a lot of reassurance to know everybody will be able to handle an emergency. "This ended on a positive note."
Parents are urged to talk with their children about safety. Considering the events of the past couple weeks, now is the time for increased awareness and education so that when something does happen, children, parents and community members will be prepared.
"Holyoke is a safe little town, but things can happen here just like anywhere else," said Police Chief Doug Bergstrom.
He reminds children to walk in groups instead of alone. They should be aware of their surroundings and aware if someone is following them. If children are suspicious of anything, they should immediately tell an adult.
Families should determine "safe words" that are used if someone other than the parent is picking up a child from school, a secret password of sorts so the child knows they can trust that person.
Last Thursday, elementary counselor Sharon Jones spoke with the students.
Earlier in the year she taught them about personal space bubbles, so she reviewed with them how big these bubbles are in certain situations and what to do if a stranger enters that bubble.
Children should never approach a strange or unknown vehicle, and if a stranger approaches them, they should run and scream in the opposite direction the vehicle is headed.
They should tell an adult if someone is knocking to get into the school, and children should never open the door at home unless they are 100 percent sure who is on the other side.
"I told them if they are ever scared or unsure of something they see while at school, to immediately tell an adult," said Jones. "I reminded them that they are safe because the students' safety is the number one priority for all adults in the elementary school building."
Children should...

Former prime minister Gordon Brown told Rupert Murdoch he had declared war on News Corp after The Sun withdrew their support from the Labour party, the media mogul told the Leveson inquiry.
Giving evidence to the inquiry into media ethics, the 81-year-old told the court he did not think Brown was in a "balanced state of mind" when he made the comments.
"Mr Brown did call me and said 'Rupert do you know what's going on here?'," Murdoch said, speaking of a phone call after The Sun announced they were backing the Conservatives in September 2009 during the Labour conference.
"I said 'what do you mean?'," Murdoch continued.
"He said 'well, The Sun, and what it's doing and how it came out.' I said: 'I'm not aware. I was not warned of the exact timing… But I'm sorry to tell you, Gordon, we have come to the conclusion that we will support a change of government when there's an election.'
"I must stress no voices were raised, we were talking more quietly than you and I are now. He said 'well, your company has declared war on my government. And we have no alternative to make war on your company'."
According to the Guardian's Dan Sabbagh Murdoch told his advisers "let's get this f**king thing over with" as he left court.
Earlier Murdoch told the Leveson inquiry his media empire News Corp never "pushed our commercial interests in our newspapers."
The media mogul said he was not a "Sun King" character who used charisma to influence his media empire.
"I try very hard to set an example of ethical behaviour and make it quite clear that I expect it," he said.
"One can describe that in a number of ways. But do I do it via an aura or charisma? I don't think so."
The News Corp chief also denied asking favours from the top of government, stressing: "I have never asked a prime minister for anything."
He also denied influencing editors on the Times and Sunday Times, adding he was "sorry to say" he "never much" interfered with the News of the World.
"If you want to judge my thinking, look at The Sun," he said.
Murdoch said he would use his two day appearance at Leveson to "put some myths to bed."
In a statement this afternoon, Gordon Brown said:
"Mr Rupert Murdoch has today made a serious allegation that in a telephone call when 'The Sun' declared for the Conservative Party, I told him I had declared war on his company.
He is wholly wrong.
As the Leveson Inquiry heard 'The Sun' declared for the Conservatives on the 30th of September, 2009. I did not phone Mr Murdoch or meet him, or write to him about his decision.
The only phone call I had with Mr Murdoch in the last year of my time in office was a phone call specifically about Afghanistan and his newspaper's coverage of the war. This was in the second week of November after his newspaper, The Sun, printed a story in the second week of November about the death of a soldier and his mother's complaints .
I hope Mr Murdoch will have the good grace to correct his account."

UP CLOSE: What do Murdoch's notes say?
See our liveblog:
Murdoch's evidence to Leveson has finished. But they'll be more written evidence to delve through online soon.
Murdoch is told about a journalists who claimed she experienced "constant bullying." He asks why she did not resign.
Leveson interjects, saying: "I think the problem with that might be that she needs a job".
Murdoch says he has "never heard of" allegations of bullying in News International. "They always strike me as a happy crowd."
|@ paulwaugh : Leveson refuses to allow NUJ lawyer to ask Qs re NI's MSC collusion w cops. But Murdoch says MSC didn't reveal journo sources
Murdoch says his journalists can join the NUJ at any point.
|@ rowenamason : Some of my channels are better than the BBC, some a lot worse, says Murdoch #Leveson
He says Murdoch's accusation about Dacre: "I'm going to suggest you've made a mistake in reading something."
But Murdoch said he did not "see the difference," adding: "I think there's no doubt that maybe the Daily Mail and other newspapers were campaigning against it and against us.. That is a commercial reason. They said at the time in their public statement they felt in some commercial danger, if you like, if we succeeded."
|@ Peston : "I've spent hundreds of millions of dollars" on internal investigation, says Murdoch. Really? Can it really be that much. #leveson
|@ mlcalderone : Murdoch claims Huffington Post has just "a few" reporters -- he should come by the newsroom some time! #leveson
Quite hilariously, Murdoch says his paper the Wall Street Journal is a "challenge to get through." Unsure if he meant it like that. He says they are adding more pictures to it.
In fact there's more advertising opportunities occurring every year even then there are websites. So the rates stay very low. But it's a fact of life. We have to treat it as an opportunity. The Times of London, seven days a week, we put it on the ipad, we charge for it. Unfortunately apple takes 30% but that's another argument. That can be seen any corner of the world, so maybe there's an opportunity there.
|@ SamiraAhmedUK : Surprise! Rupert Murdoch in his comfort zone now as he blames BBC for its alleged role in declining newspaper sales. #leveson
Murdoch says it comes down to an argument about intellectual property (but it is a bit unclear what he is talking about). And now, the predictable jibe at the BBC (which does do "great broadcasting").
He says the BBC's website is viewed by 12m people in Britain a week and "feel they have had enough news", saying this is taxpayer funded and affects newspaper circulation.
|@ benfenton : #murdoch apologises for repeating a private conversation with Jay?Leveson that reveals he likes Le Monde and The Times.
|@ PSbook : Murdoch tells #leveson he doesn't have a great understanding of technology. His purchase of Myspace would seem to support that.
"We're spending a lot of money trying to, and succeeding, in presenting every word of our newspapers on modern tablets. There will be, I will be very confident in saying, that in a very short time.. there will be billions of tablets in the world."
He says other people read news on their smart phones (or as Murdoch refers to them a "smart telephone") but says he thinks printed presses can survive another 20 years with "small" circulations.
"You said that I had at the very beginning a great understanding of technology. I don't... But the fact is that the internet came along, slowly developed as a source of news and now is absolutely in our space.
"I think it's been responsible for a lot of loss of circulation. I should ask the judge. This inquiry I presume is for the press in this country, not just the press in Fleet Street. We're seeing everybody under extreme pressure."
He adds: "People can send their blogs from Beijing and from the Cayman Islands and whatever you do you can't regulate that. I think you have a danger of regulating, putting regulations in place, which will mean there will be no press in 10 years to regulate."
The News of the World, let's be quite honest, was an aberration and it's my fault.
|@ christopherhope : #leveson BREAKING MPs on the Commons' Culture Select Committee will publish their long-awaited report on phone hacking on Tuesday, May 1
|@ christopherhope : #Leveson BREAK Cabinet Office confirms Cabinet Secretary and Treasury Solicitor spoke to Leveson on Tues afternoon
"We set up inquiry after inquiry, we employed legal firm after legal firm. Perhaps we relied too much on the conclusions of the police."
He says News Corp's response to being accused of collective amnesia was "disrespectful to parliament."
He says when he appeared at the select committee last July he said he was the right person to clear it up, and he did. "I have spent hundreds of millions of dollars.... Anything that looked faintly suspicious was passed to the police. That led to, I think, a dozen midnight arrests. Because of my pledge, not because of police. We went way beyond what they'd asked us to do.
"I remain greatly distressed that people who have been with me for 20 or 30 years.. My distress, it would be presumptuous to compare it with the immense disturbance, if you like, and hurt to the people who were arrested. I feel responsible for that but I'm glad we did it."
|@ RobDotHutton : Think Private Eye may need to increase its pagination next week. #leveson
I think that historically this whole business of the News of the World is a serious blot on my reputation.
"When the Milly Dowler situation was first given huge publicity, I think all the newspaper took this as the chance to really make a really national scandal. It made people all over the country aware of this..
"I panicked. But I'm glad I did. I'm sorry I didn't close it years before and put a Sunday Sun in. I tell you what held us back - the News of the World readers, only half of them read the Sun."
|@ MASieghart : Tim de Lisle resigned as Arts Editor of The Times when he was pressurised to run a big Sky plug #leveson
"I don't have any other business interests. I certainly would ask or suggest, I don't think it needs suggesting, the editor of The Sun that it would be good to mention what's coming up in our new paper on Sunday. There is self-promotion in newspapers."
These are known to be, um, not 100% accurate.
|@ tom_watson : I raised the blackmail point with Murdoch last year and he's claiming he still hasn't read the judgement. Outrageous. #leveson
He says Andrew Neil, the former Sunday Times editor, doesn't "know the first thing he is talking about."
"Mr Neil seems to have found it very profitable to spread lies about me"
From a press gazette story in December:
Lord Justice Leveson this afternoon condemned as outrageous an incident in which the News of the World threatened to expose one of the dominatrices involved in the Max Mosley sex party if they didn't cooperate with the paper.

RICHMOND - Edison coach Mike McKenzie feels if his team does one thing better this season, it can improve on last year's disappointing 3-7 record.
"We're preaching finishing," McKenzie said. "We don't feel we finished well last year and two years ago we did. It's something we talked about with our kids.
"We need to finish a rep, a play, and a game if we want to be successful this season."
After examining last season's game film, McKenzie and his staff concluded the problem was a correctable one.
"We really want to try to be in better shape than people and try to play fast," McKenzie said. "Last year in Weeks 1 and 2 we weren't in shape. We went back and examined why and we didn't change our conditioning from two years ago when we were in pretty good shape and wore teams down. We saw we needed to adjust it this year.
"Conditioning hurt us last year against Oak Glen, losing 29-28, and we carried a bunch of kids off the field with cramps. A lot more than than it seemed. I think that was the difference in the game. Same thing with Wheeling Central. We played well for a quarter and then I felt like, same thing, we were carting kids off with cramps. We did better the second part of the first half of the season, but in the second half I just felt like we collapsed conditioning-wise and we couldn't finish.
"Our kids were good kids and our seniors worked hard, but it was like we got in games and just didn't believe at the end. Like against Bellaire where we were up 27-13 entering the fourth quarter and lose. We want to be in better shape this year. We've worked hard on that."
Edison's offense will be fronted by junior quarterback Nolan Marcus. McKenzie feels Marcus is a solid threat to both run and pass.
"He's probably a little more of a mix of the both (2011 quarterback) Mark (Smyth) and (2010 quarterback) Jonny (Byers)," McKenzie said. "Jonny was a good runner. He threw the ball decent, but Mark probably had a bigger arm and was more of a passer than Jonny was.
"I think Nolan has a good bit of both of those qualities. He runs the ball pretty well, and he sees things real well as far as throwing the ball. His arm isn't as strong as Mark's, but he sees pretty well. He makes good reads and puts touch on the ball.
Junior Josh Pasek and sophomore Collin Skeeles will back Marcus up at quarterback.
"At running back and wide receiver, we feel pretty good," McKenzie said. "I like our depth. I feel like we have kids that can rotate in.
"Last year we didn't feel like we could rotate as much as we wanted to, but I feel like we can this year."
Starting tailback Chris Graziani saw meaningful snaps last year and McKenzie believes he can be a big weapon for his team this season if he plays within himself.
"Graziani played a fair amount last year and he looks like a man-child this year," McKenzie said. "He's fast and we just need to get him under control because sometimes he plays a little too fast."
Seeing time behind Graziani will be Pasek and sophomore Ethan Shannon.
Edison may come out of its spread formation more this season due to a pair of quality fullbacks on the roster.
"We have (Jevin) Leggett and (Brendan) Powley at fullback so we'll be in the I a lot more than in the past," McKenzie said. "We're going to try to be in the I, not only in short yardage, but on first-and-10."
The Wildcats are forced to replace big-play threat Kyle Minger at receiver due to graduation, but McKenzie like what he sees from this year's crop.
"Honestly I think we'll be more like we were two years ago,'' he said. "Two years ago we had a bunch of good receivers. Our top receivers led the team with like 22 to 28 catches. With us being a spread team that isn't huge, but we had the receivers to spread it out that year.
"We had like 15 kids make catches. I think we'll be more like that year. People game planned for 'Ming' because he was our go-to guy, but I don't think they'll be able to do that this year which I like better. I think we'll be able to spread it around and make everyone a threat."
McKenzie, who likes to rotate eight at wideout, has seniors Chris Virtue and Jacob Ross along with junior Rich Springer notched as starters. Senior Trevor Murray, Jason Hughes, Thomas Riley, and Cole Wargo are pushing for time as well as juniors Hunter Sweat, Devan Tennant, and J.T. Arnold. Sophomore Carter Andreozzi is also in the mix here.
Expect to see Pasek line up at receiver as well as tailback because of his speed.
"Pasek will see time at both receiver and running back," McKenzie said. We want to utilize his speed so we'll line him up in different spots. He could be a big weapon for us."
Murray will man the tight end spot when one is utilized.
The offensive line returns three starters including senior guard Dylan Glasure who returns for his third year as starter.
The other guard will be second-year starter senior Shane Board. Junior Matt Coppa is in the mix for playing time as well.
The third returning starter, senior tackle Bradley Harris, looks to be joined by junior Dustin Huggins.
Senior Mitch Bake is slotted to start at center with junior Tyler Stagani pushing for time.
Senior Justin Matthews will provide needed depth to the offensive line.
"At offensive line we should be pretty strong," McKenzie said. "We're worried about depth there.
"Right now we're a little worried about injuries. We're a little frustrated the past couple days because of some things here and there. If we stay healthy we should be pretty good."
There will be a new look defensively for the Wildcats, who have changed their base from a 30 to a 40 to adjust to their personnel.
"I think we have a pretty good defensive line," McKenzie said. "That's pretty much why we went to a 40. It was a personnel decision.
"Our linebackers are good too. They're adjusting to different reads now. Our biggest thing is to get some experience in the secondary. That's where we're most inexperienced because we lost all three of our starters from last year. We think they'll be good, it's just a matter of getting them some experience back there.
"We have some adjustments of our 40 to adjust to spread teams. We won't run our 30 package from last season, but with our defense we have a 30 package we've been working on during the spring and summer. When we do face a spread team, we can put in a 30 that marries well with our 40 so we're not learning a lot of new techniques. We're not changing our reads and whatnot."
Logging time at defensive tackle will be Board, Glasure, and Harris.
The defensive ends will be Bake, linebacker transplant Graziani, Murray, and Wargo.
Much like at receiver, McKenzie prefers to rotate a lot of fresh players on his D-line so Stagani, Matthews, Coppa, and Huggins could all see time as across the defensive front as well.
Powley and Shannon are slotted to start at inside linebacker with Wells and Leggett in the mix as well.
Ross looks to start at outside linebacker with Murray possibly moving here from end to start as well. Riley, Sweat and Tennant are all pushing to see action.
Virtue will start at free safety with Springer manning one of the corners. Andreozzi, Hughes, and Arnold are all battling for a spot at the other corner. Marcus could see time at corner as well, though McKenzie doesn't plan to start his quarterback on defense.

Title hopes end for Patriots in Wyoming
Published: Thursday, November 21, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.

CASPER, Wyo. — The College of Central Florida volleyball team's bid for a national championship ended on Thursday afternoon.

Out of Stock
Item # SRM0336
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Cranksets in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM Force Crankset $0.00
SRAM's Force Crankset has unidirectional carbon fiber arms and spider similar to their top-of-the-line Red crankset. And similarly, a splashy Force flourish and huge SRAM lettering on the inside surface of both arms, make it so that you can see the right side SRAM logo when viewing from the left and vice-versa.
The fluidity of SRAM Force shift quality is a by-product of more than just thoughtful shifter design. Each component of the drivetrain plays an elemental role in providing some of the smoothest, most efficient shifting we've ever felt, and one vital component is the crankset. The PowerGlide chain rings that come standard on the Force crank ensure crisp movement of the chain as you switch rings. The gates and ramps on the teeth make quick work of upshifts and downshifts, and they ensure that the sophisticated technology of the Double Tap shifter isn't wasted on a crankset that can't deliver flawless performance.
The PowerGlide rings are built with SRAM's "TNT" hard-anodized finish. You'll get more mileage from these rings than any other 10-speed set out there, and thanks to the finish, your shifting and pedaling will be quieter than ever before.
The Force is an all-carbon crankset, with carbon arms built on an aluminum spine, along with a carbon spider (and alloy chain ring bolts) to further reduce weight. This full-carbon construction comes in both compact and standard options. And whether your gearing differential between chainrings is 14t or 16t, you'll get flawless shifting -- that's the one detail that distinguishes the compact Force from every other 50/34 crankset we've ever tried. It shifts as flawlessly as a 53/39 -- a rarity when it comes to compact cranks. Best of all, a SRAM compact crankset doesn't require a special compact-specific front derailleur. You use the same Force front derailleur for the 53/39 as you do for the 50/34.
The Force crankset has an integrated bottom bracket spindle to provide you with supreme drivetrain stiffness. It must be used with a GXP bottom bracket. While you might think every external bearing BB is the same, the GXP is a beast of its own. Rather than be loaded axially across the bearing set, the GXP design captures the left-side bearing while the right side floats on the spindle. What you'll get is improved bearing life and a smoother rolling bottom bracket than other designs.
The SRAM Force Crankset is available in three lengths -- 170mm, 172.5mm, and 175mm and in either a standard 53/39 or compact 50/34.
Note: BB is not included.

wondering if this 10spd Force crankset would lineup with my shimano 9spd rear cassette and a 9spd chain without having to change up the rings or whatever else.

I love this ring, and it brings a lot of attention, I get compliments on this ring every time I wear it. The only problem is there is no sizing, other then that, its perfect.
needs better sizing
Although ridiculously cute and eye-catching my problem with this ring is that the sizing is way too big. I normally wear a 6/6.5 ring size on my ring/middle finger, 7 for my pointer and this ring just doesn't fit me at all. It's way too big- the only reason why it stays on me is because it's a double ring! Other than that, the ring has a nice weight to it, not that flimsy cheap feel. A little overpowering for people with smaller hands- so careful how you wear it !
Love Love Love
I love this ring! It screams Hello Kitty and I love that about it. Also, it fits perfectly on either hand. It does scratch pretty easily so definitely have to be careful with it.
Very cute, looks good with everything. The ring size was a little big but I have slender fingers so it probably shouldn't be a problem for most.
Big Red Bow
I receive compliments on this ring every time I wear it. I love it on my hand. Looks super cute!
I would recommend
i use it along with my HK shirts
extremely adorable
Cute a little uncomfortable but very unique and versatile
i love the ring, but it came DAMAGED!
I had bought this ring previously in store, but it broke [the bow fell off] on my birthday. I loved this ring so much, which is why I ordered another one. When it arrived to me after 2 weeks of waiting, there was a huge HOLE in the middle of the ring. It looked like a piece of the enamel had been chipped off. I didn't bother returning it because I was afraid the item would be out of stock once the return process was done with. I love my ring very much, but I'm very upset with the care that was taken to create this particular ring.

Please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 800-759-6454 and we will be more than happy to help you!
soooo cute and unique!!!
Wow, what a unique HK ring! Love the glossy smooth finish & the vibrant colors! So happy I got this!
It fits my fingers (sizes 6-7) somewhat loosely. It's pretty weighty, which is understandable for a knuckle ring. Of course, the weight does make it less comfortable to wear for long periods. Nevertheless, the sophisticated design makes the ring very versatile & I think it could work with both casual & dressy looks.
Cheaply made, but cute while it lasts
This was cute until it broke in half. The bow fell right off of the two finger ring.
I am really disappointed in the quality of this product. I really liked wearing it, and was very upset that it broke.

EPA & Partners Metadata Training
Introductory/New EME Training: The introductory training will provide attendees with an introduction to the FGDC standard and FGDC compliancy as well as how to use various tools (e.g., a metadata implementation, templates, and editors [specifically the use of the EPA Metadata Editor]) to improve metadata production. This session will also introduce the North American Profile (NAP) of the ISO 19115/19139 standard and will discuss how it relates to the FGDC CSDGM. This session is designed for users who do not have a lot of knowledge about the FGDC standard and its structure or about creating an implementation, using templates or using the EPA Metadata Editor (EME). It is also intended for users who would like to know more about the NAP of the ISO 19139/19115. It does not cover why someone should develop metadata or what the business case for metadata is; it is assumed that most users already know they want to create metadata and need more information on that process. The EME 3.0 training will focus on how to use version 3 of the EPA Metadata Editor. It will provide an overview of the new features and how they work. Specifically, this training session will cover the following new EME features: Using the new EPA Synchronizer to customize your metadata synchronization; Using the new EPA Metadata Validation options (batch validation, highlighting errors within the user interface, separating errors from warnings); Configuring the path to the EME database; Using the new help features; Adding multiple process steps; Changing compound element behavior; Entering user-defined keywords; Editing attributes; Entering multiple dates in the time period information field; Removing ESRI tags; and Using global search and replace.
