Directed Stem Cell Recruitment into the CNS in Response to Coxsackievirus Infection
Improved and more effective treatment strategies to alleviate the clinical symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease remain problematic. Stem cell-based therapy offers the great potential to improve neurological function by replacement of key neural cells in the central nervous system (CNS). A better understanding of targeted stem cell migration across the blood-cerebral spinal fluid (CSF)-barrier and subsequent differentiation into therapeutic cells may assist clinicians and researchers in maximizing the efficacy of stem cell based treatments. Furthermore, many previous studies utilizing stem cell-based therapy for tissue regeneration have relied on the seemingly inherent ability of stem cells to migrate and differentiate somewhat haphazardly into predetermined areas in damaged tissues. However, the random inoculation and migration of stem cells, regardless of regenerative potential, is unlikely to lead to the most efficient recruitment of stem cells and subsequent repair of critically damaged regions.
Utilizing our neurotropic viral infection model which appears to induce the recruitment of peripheral stem cells, we will characterize the peripheral stem cells responsible for stem cell migration across the blood-CSF-barrier, and determine necessary recruitment factors upregulated during infection. Additionally, we will test the advantages of utilizing an attenuated or defective enterovirus as a novel viral vector for gene transfer into stem cells. The ability to insert foreign genes into stem cells may assist in proper stem cell differentiation, expression of therapeutic molecules, and protection of donor cells from the host immune response. Finally, we will evaluate the therapeutic use of transduced stem cells guided through the blood-CSF-barrier with novel chemoattractant molecules utilizing a relapsing-remitting mouse model of MS (EAE), and in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (hAPP751 transgenic mice) . MS is thought to be an autoimmune disease in which the loss of myelin contributes to CNS damage and clinical disease. Alzheimer's disease, a dementia affliction affecting over 20 million people worldwide, is a neurodegenerative disease with no known cure.
Stem cell transplantation may be a therapeutic approach for the re-establishment of myelinated axonal fibers, replacement of damaged neurons and a return to proper neuronal function. The addition of regulatory genes into stem cells may help protect the newly differentiated cells from suffering from the same fate as their non-functioning neighbor cells. We hope that the proposed research will assist in the development of novel reagents for optimized stem cell-based therapy in patients suffering from neurological diseases.
Approximately 400,000 Americans suffer from the neurological symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Furthermore, over 5 million people in the US and Europe alone suffer from the dementia associated with Alzheimer's disease. The therapeutic use of stem cells may provide the basis for improving the lives of patients suffering from MS, Alzheimer's disease, and a variety of other neurological diseases. However, much remains to be understood regarding productive stem cell migration and proper differentiation of therapeutic neural cells in the host. Oligodendrocytes are essential cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that help to protect the axons of nerve fibers by producing a fatty tissue called myelin. In MS, myelin is lost in many region of the CNS thereby producing sclerotic lesions. Hence, the ability to promote new myelin formation in damage regions by the addition of new oligodendrocytes may be a potential therapy for the alleviated the effects of clinical disease. In contrast, Alzheimer's disease is associated with plaques and tangles in the CNS which can affect normal neuronal function and lead to memory loss, loss of major bodily functions , and eventual death. The replacement of damaged neurons and the reduction or reversal of plaques and tangles may be considered a possible treatment to ameliorate the symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease. The project will provide new insights on how stem cells may traverse through the blood-cerebral spinal fluid-barrier and differentiate into the various cell types found within the CNS. Furthermore, we will test the ability of using a well characterized enterovirus that efficiently infects stem cells, as a viral gene delivery system. Our hope is that the information gained from our efforts will point to new directions, whereby optimized stem cell-based therapy may be of great benefit to those suffering from MS, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurological disabilities.

The Karbonn Smart Champions League Twenty20 Technical Committee has today approved changes to the Titans and Hampshire squads. CJ de Villiers has replaced Marchant de Lange in the Titans squad after the 22-year-old fast bowler was diagnosed with a back injury that will keep him out of the tournament.
David Balcombe has replaced England T20 international Danny Briggs in the Hampshire squad. Briggs is due to be married and go away on his honeymoon at the same time as Hampshire plays their second match in the CLT20 Qualifier - against Sialkot Stallions on 11 October – and would also be unavailable if England's domestic T20 champions progress to the Group Stage.
As a result, the CLT20 Technical Committee has approved Hampshire's application to replace Briggs for the duration of the tournament.

How can I search if a file named
foo.txt was ever committed to my svn repository (in any revision)?
How can I search if a file named
Right click on the checked out folder's root > TortoiseSVN > Show Log
You can enter file names just as well there.
This should work for you:
This will give you the paths to the files and the state from the log. If you get any hits, you know it existed at some point. If you get no results, there is nothing matching anywhere in the repository at any revision. You'll also see the states from each log line, e.g.:
A /some/path/foo.txt D /some/path/foo.txt
But I'm guessing the extra info isn't a problem for you. :)
Use Subversion 1.8+ client and new

Note: Sample below may appear distorted but all corresponding word document files contain proper formattingExcerpt from Document:
Author Credentials and Experience and Quality of Information Delivered
The author, David Burns, is a medical doctor and the former Acting Chief of Psychiatry at the Presbyterian Medical Center of the University of Pennsylvania. He is also a Visiting Scholar at the Harvard Medical School and a Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Stanford University School of Medicine where he received his degree. The author is also a teacher and researcher and is certified by the National Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. Dr. Burns is also the recipient of various professional awards including the A. E. Bennett Award from the Society for Biological Society, which he received for research into brain chemistry. He received a Distinguished Contribution to Psychology through the Media Award from the Association of Applied and Preventive Psychology, as well as a Teacher of the Year award from the graduating residents in the Stanford University Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
Unlike many so-called "pop-psychology...? books, Feeling Good provides a comprehensive and empirical research-based overview of the relationship between neurological and hormonal processes and mood. By virtue of his professional training and areas of research interest, Dr. Burns is uniquely capable of explaining both neurological concepts and principles as well as the external manifestations of their effect on the individual. At the same time, Dr, Burns provides a practical means of recognizing the potential relevance and source of feelings and impulses, as well as of the various triggers and other environmental factors that typically precipitate mood changes, particularly in relation to depression and related issues.
Clarity of Presentation and Meaningfulness of Suggestions
The primary value of this book is precisely the way that the author is able to connect external influences, internal responses, and the biological processes that combine to produce unwanted mood changes. The explanation of neurological processes is deep enough to help readers understand the biological roots of their feelings but without going too in-depth into technical processes that might exceed the comprehension of most lay readers. On the other hand, those explanations do help the reader conceptualize the mechanisms that are responsible for their moods and for the reactions that may otherwise seem to be completely unexplainable or irrational judging purely by the manner in which they are experienced subjectively. This continual juxtaposition between the world of neurological processes and the external world of everyday perception of mood and impulse is extremely helpful to the reader and may also provide a basis for imposing a form of self-regulation along the same lines of traditional biofeedback principles.
Reflection about Psychology Self-Help Books in General
In general, this genre of literature exhibits a very wide range of quality, primarily because there are no formal requirements on who can refer to himself as an expert provided he or she does not use any of the specific terms (such as "psychotherapist...?) whose use is regulated by state and federal law. As a general rule, one should always research the professional credentials, formal training, and professional certifications and acknowledgments of the author of such works before assuming that the information provided is necessarily accurate, applicable, and useful. Another danger is that certain psychological symptoms and conditions are attributable to bona-fide illnesses that require professional attention and or regulation through psychotropic medications. If individuals suffering from these types of conditions rely exclusively on self-help books, they could remain untreated and continue to suffer needlessly. Otherwise, as long as the reader performs due diligence with respect to researching the credentials and expertise of the author, some self-help books can indeed be very helpful. This particular work seems to be an example of just such a book.

Going for the Gold-Automatically: After Explaining in the Last Issue How Technology Can Now Build Trading Systems for You, We Will Demonstrate How This Works by Building and Detailing a Trading System for Gold Futures Using This Automated Process
Barna, Mike, Modern Trader
As computers have increased in speed and functionality, more steps of the trading process have become automated. Now, advances in software design are pushing those limits even further, so much so that even the process of building a trading system itself can be done with little human input.
Last month, we showed how these new tools operate. This month, we put them to work in the gold market.
First, we need to extract and preprocess the data necessary for our trading system from our sample market; in this case we'll use gold futures. We do this by running a special trading system in data extraction mode (see "Digging for data," right).
Before we start our automation run, we need to feed the computer some basic information setting ground rules for the automated process. We input data such as big point value, account size, minimum fluctuation value and which performance statistic we want the software to monitor. After just a couple minutes of processing time, we can see how the evolved equity curve is becoming profitable (see "Getting there," right).
After just a few minutes of run time, more than 30,760 trading systems were developed. Again, these are not individual optimizations of a few trading systems. These are entirely different systems, logically and parametrically. The AIM-GP moves blocks of evolved code around the evolutionary environment formulating new and unique trading systems.
The system produced positive performance in both training and out-of-sample testing (you can find these performance numbers on the "downloads" section of www.Futuresmag.com). The out-of-sample testing reflects the robustness of the trading system because there was no significant drop off in performance. Remember, we are not forecasting the direction of the market to some point in the future, but we're measuring how well our evolved trading system performs on both in-sample data and out-of-sample data.
Many developers limit or eliminate out-of-sample testing, and therefore their trading systems usually fall apart as they are used into the future. Also, note that our results could be improved with more runs. Indeed, simply rerunning the same test again will often result in improved performance. This is due to initialized random seeds and the random effects of evolution. One simple random mutation can make improvements.
Throughout the long haul, if our input set contributes to the general robustness of an evolved trading system and if the evolutionary algorithm converges properly, more runs will show good results than will show poor results; and a robust trading system will emerge quickly, very possibly on the first run.
As a last step, we will translate the Genetic Program generated C code into EasyLanguage and run our trading system in TradeStation. The results of the final trading system are shown in "Final run" (page 47).
Lets look at our example, the evolved EasyLanguage program shown in "Heart of the system" (page 46). The AIM-GP ignored 56 of the 62 inputs, making use of only six: v1[6], v1[11], v1[23], v1[25], v1[29] and v1[33].
These inputs are defined below:
v1[6] = low > low[1] and low[1] > low[2] and high > high[1] and high[1] > high[2]; v1[11] = atr11 < atr22; v1[23] = close < lowest (close, 4) + rng*sdv*3; v1[25] = high>high[1]; v1[29] = high>high[3]; v1[33] = close>=close[1];
atr11 = average(range, 8); atr22 = average(truerange, 20); rng = Highest(high, 4) - Lowest(low, 4); rng3 = Highest(high, 10) - Lowest(low, 10); LR = LinearRegValue(close, 10, 0); Sdv = StdDev((close-LR), 10)/rng3;
After a few applications of square root, addition, subtraction, multiplication and absolute value, we have our trading system.
Looking at the evolved code, we see that machine-learning code is quite different from traditional human-supplied code. …

Microvolts Hack Tool 2013 Free Download.
Hack tool functions: Infinity Ammo, Infinity HP, AIMBOT, Speed x100, Enable Fly, Add RT, Add MP and Boss Hack (Infinity Respawn).
Download Microvolts Hack Tool:
"Fun" is a saying that is underestimated. We utilize it very nearly as pointlessly as the statement "love." But when anything obstructs our definition, "fun" transforms into something more likened to "acrid." Microvolts straddles these two expressions. One moment, the quick paced gameplay and sharp controls make you have an inclination that you're playing a title that can match a portion of the best aggressive recreations out there. The following moment, overpowering slack, framerate and equalization issues remind you that you're playing an allowed to-play diversion.
The Good
-Gameplay is quick, angry, and unhinged
-All weapons are accessible from the begin
-Controls are responsive
The Bad
-Too much slack
-Few prizes for players who have a life
-Glitches unevenness recently badly equalized maps
-Parts, frill, and things are not changeless
-Single player is executed defectively
The topical background to this TPS is existing movement figures fueled by electric cells that are occupied with warfare for explanations not a single person comprehends. It's a fight to choose who the most prevailing toy is, and for whatever excuse for why, these movement figures turn to toy weapons to support their sense of self. It's a hilariously brutal background for this shining hued cartoony experience.
Four characters, each of them with their own particular charming, peculiar, or animal feel to them, occupy this planet. Comparative to legitimate young people, these characters have a tone of disobedience, sturdiness, and distinction, yet when the force comes, its not phenomenal to hear them shrieking for help or sobbing for conservation of their existence. It makes for amusing exchange in spite of the fact that it does get dreary rapidly.
The planet these movement figures occupy makes up their combat areas. Comparative to youthful grown-ups, the planet is their play area, and hence, kitchen bureaus, enclosures, paper manors, toy rooms, and rooms are not forbidden to these palm-measured dolls. The scale of the amusement is convincing yet since everything is so huge, you need to gaze toward discovery the vast majority of the inventive part. The portion of these maps is the thing that makes them feel extraordinary. Sound impacts delicately tickle your ear when passing certain milestones, for instance the thunder of a stovetop burner or scarcely discernable music originating from earphones. It's sad that the subject calls for everything to be so substantial in light of the fact that throughout the activity, its barely noticeable the bobble-head puppy or understand that you're truly battling on a seat. In the meantime nonetheless, the scale makes the amusement feel convincing.
Notwithstanding, there aren't numerous opportunities to stop and like the outline on the grounds that the gameplay moves unimaginably quick. Discharging rates are quick on all the firearms, the development is quick, health drains rapidly, and re-entering from expiration doesn't take exceptionally long.
In light of the fact that such a variety of individuals might be in a match immediately, regardless of the guide size, you're infrequently out of a battle. The sort of speed this diversion produces makes battle addicting. Regardless of the possibility that you're passing on a considerable measure, the opportunity to put shots in individuals is incessant, making you feel like there's dependably an opportunity to overwhelm another person and pick up focuses for your group. Unfortunately, overwhelming individuals isn't simple. If you're talented or not, slack meddles, and its truly awful in this title. It's one thing to have hitbox inactivity which this amusement has—yet its an additional issue when the slack reasons individuals to stop set up, teleport, or sound impacts get twisted or don't enroll, and slug livelinesss get undetectable. On top of that, genuine framerate drops happen when there is a lot of going on -and that is unsuitable when playing any sort of shooter.
It doesn't make a difference how exceptional your ping is or what server you're in. While it surely helps diminish slack, it doesn't safeguard the baffling interferences it makes the gameplay. Map glitches disturb and dally gameplay as well. Individuals have discovered shrouded spots in different parts of maps where they can't be shot or its extremely difficult to hit them. The sum of this could be amazingly disappointing and relying upon how quick your association is, these issues might be a major issue. It's a disgrace sound impacts don't dependably enlist in light of the fact that they're pleasant to listen to. Eruptions have a fulfilling profundity and qualities of weapons discharging are an electrifying blend between fun loving and dirty. It's clear that a ton of enterprise was put into the sound. The same strives for the music. Provided that you were to listen to the music without playing the diversion, you might never know its music for an energetically dirty TPS. The 50s jazz and gently techno-propelled music are foundation for the menus and gameplay. It's overall arranged and snappy at times,but it gets monotonous as assortment is needing.
Character customization has huge influence. Recognizing there are just four characters in the amusement, its fantastic to know there could be some image contrasts -assuming that you decide to pay. Be that as it may, all customization choices you can purchase do influence gameplay for your character, so you're not simply paying for surface customization. For the weapons, Microvolts provides each character with 7 distinctive firearms; significance you never need to get a weapon throughout a match. You're outfitted with a Melee weapon, Rifle, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, Gatling Gun, Bazooka, and Grenade Launcher. The greater part of these are upgradeable to stronger weapons in every class. The same applies to the plenty of dress and frill choices, which all have their own particular class. You can change shirts, pants, hair, and even the head. All the overhauls increment a particular attribute of your character if its health, speed, or ordnance for a weapon class.
Contingent upon the dress or embellishment, you can pick between two choices of updates. For instance, assuming that you pick a shirt, you have the alternative to redesign speed or health. If that wasn't already enough, essentially for looks purpose, all clothes or frill of the same sort have the same overhauls, so in the event that you don't prefer the way your characters' shorts look, you can pick an alternate pair and have the same redesigns.

Andy777's Review for American National Red Cross
3 people found this review helpful
In reviewing the latest Form 990 regarding ARC on Guidestar, Gail McGovern's total compensation was $561,210, rather than the $995,718 claimed by Joyce D. While $561,718 is almost twice as high as the average compensation for a CEO of a non profit, it is far from the highest, and there are CEO's at far smaller non profits (the Levy brothers of YAI, who each had packages of over $3/4 million come to mind) that earn more. As for how the organization is run, I feel that National should have left far more to the local and regional levels as far as decision making and protocol, as ARC is far too large an organization to micromanage, and there are vastly different needs depending on the area of the country and whether it's a rural or city chapter. The jury is still out regarding ARC's reorganization, but Health and Safety Services continue to be a disaster since National took over. Will Disaster Services be the next disaster? America and the world are watching...

Thanks addict. My mission for next weekend is now to cut them back. I guess you can be a bit more ruthless now Busy-Lizzie if you get the urge
Hello everyone,
My Lysimachia punctata have finished flowering for the season and are now just tall green but barren plants. Do I need to cut them back now? Or just leave them to die off on their own? I've had a scout on the internet but can only find out about pruning. Help please, thank you.
gardeningfantic, due to wasps I've done war dances in the street, waiting for a bus, you name it lol and I've had some very strange looks too I can assure you (but no offers of help!). I swear these things know I don't like them, they always make a bee line for my head or chest area (moths as well) and if a spider can appear as if by magic behind me on the wall they will! They're all out to get me
You think that the word polycarbonate might be scaring people off?! I don't know about that but I hope you get the answers you're looking for.
yay it worked
Thanks Dove, I really shouldn't have admitted all of that should I?! I'll definitely have a look through the link (after a stiff drink of course!) and learn to be a big brave girl! And point taken about being frightened instead of interested. One thing I do know though is that if I'm going to put myself amongst all of these things I simply have to learn to live with them and understand them as this is their environment and I'm trying to live in it so deep breaths and I'm plunging in there!
Sorry P cant help you but your question has been on here a long time with no answer so i'm responding to bump you back up the list in the hope this will get seen and someone can help you. Good luck
I can't help you happycottontail but I'm responding here so it bumps this back up the list in the hope that someone will see it and can help you
So many people this year having trouble with their tomatoes not ripening, mine included. Its got to be a weather thing and lack of heat at the optimal times. I'm hanging in there with mine for a bit longer, although I've today gone out and taken off any trusses with really small immature fruit so it can concentrate on ripening (hopefully) and not growing. I was advised on here other day that if thst they still haven't ripened when the temp drops to the low teens daily to just bring them inside to finish off. Good Luck Lesa
Can't say I noticed it either!

You can ignore groups like this all you want. Stick your fingers in your ears, shut your eyes and cry out "la la la la la" all you want. It won't bother these idiots one bit. In fact, by doing so you validate their message, because you refuse to take a stand. You refuse to give back a message of your own. Your silence, to them, is seen as capitulation, and it emboldens them, allowing them to commit more acts of hatred and intolerance, and laughing at you all the while doing it.
If one 9-year-old-boy who's had enough of these idiots is willing to stand up to them and fight against their hatred, why won't you? Why do you insist on remaining silent and giving credence to this group? Because that is EXACTLY what ignoring them does.
I learned the hard way long ago that ignoring a problem does not make it go away. It only makes it worse. I'm sorry you cannot see that. Maybe one day you will. I hope it's sooner than later.
But, that's not what I said. O_o
I said coverage of the public taking a stand is great. Want to see more of it. But news just on whatever stupidity Westboro did today isn't answering them back in an even louder voice. That only amplifies their own voice. That's what I'm saying. We need more of what you're describing and less of what's commonly being covered in the news.

In Darkness (Hardcover)
Winner of the 2013 Michael L. Printz Award
This is the story of "Shorty"-a 15-year-old boy trapped in a collapsed hospital during the earthquake in Haiti. Surrounded by the bodies of the dead, increasingly weak from lack of food and water, Shorty begins to hallucinate. As he waits in darkness for a rescue that may never come, a mystical bridge seems to emerge between him and Haitian leader Toussaint L'Ouverture, uniting the two in their darkest suffering-and their hope.
A modern teen and a black slave, separated by hundreds of years. Yet in some strange way, the boy in the ruins of Port au Prince and the man who led the struggle for Haiti's independence might well be one and the same . . .
About the Author
Nick Lake was born in Britain but grew up in Luxembourg, where his father worked for the European Parliament. Nick works in publishing by day and writes in every spare moment he can find. In 2012, his powerful and moving novel In Darkness, about the Haitian earthquake, was published for adults and older teenagers, receiving huge acclaim. Hostage Three is his very different but equally powerful new novel for teenagers.
Nick lives near Oxford with his wife and family. His long commute to work gives his imagination time to explore places he's never visited.
Praise For…
"A vivid and unforgettable voice ... incredibly moving." --The Times
"Unputdownable" --Daily Mail
"Gripping ... beautifully subtle." --New York Times
"Both violent and subtle, unexpectedly reminding me of The Wire. Characters, settings, and the half-believed Haitian vodou religion are handled with patience and complexity ... A serious, nuanced, challenging novel. Trust me, there are plenty of young readers who hunger for exactly that." --Patrick Ness, Guardian
"Remarkable ... Lake's elegant, restrained prose and distinct characters will reward adults and older teenagers able to brave a story with strong language, harrowing scenes of brutality and an almost painful stab of joy at the end." --Wall Street Journal

What are you most proud of? I like the color combination, and most [not all] of the points aligned perfectly. I also feel my quilting works well. I was able to sew straight lines that matched up with the points almost perfectly - not an easy thing to do for me!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Just choose your favorite colors, and cut and sew carefully so all the points line up. Have patience and perseverence. I had to rip seams a few times to get the points and edges to line up and still had a few that were beyond repair due to small seam allowances. Grrrr!!! I repeat, cut carefully, and sew carefully.
Love Bear Paw quilts, and this one is no exception. Such fun colors and fabrics, and thoughtful placement. Super-sizing it makes it even more striking. Your quilting complements the design and doesn't distract. Nice!
I'm starting my first Rainbow Bear Paws quilt. What are the size of your colored squares and the size of the solid part of the paw? thanks June
Hi, June! For my "paws" [if I remember correctly], they measured a total of 12 inches square. The big colored square finished at 8 inches, and each little "toe" is a 4-inch Half Square Triangle. The white sashing finished at 4 inches wide, and the black cornerstones are 4 inch squares. Very basic. And just a reminder, these are the sizes without seam allowance, so make sure to add the seam allowance [I use 3/8" seam allowance instead of the standard 1/4" - it just makes me feel more secure about my piecing. hahaha] Good luck! Let me know if you have any more questions, I'd love to help. And, please post your project when you are done, I'd love to see your version! - Jose
Thanks Jose.
I love this quilt and it is on my list of "Quilt I love and will make one day". Thank you for sharing. Theodora
Gorgeous! One of my fav designs! Gorgeous colours :-)

Skip to comments.Michelle Obama boosts Reid in Reno and Las Vegas
Posted on 06/01/2010 7:38:02 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- First Lady Michelle Obama promoted healthy lifestyles among women and children Tuesday in Nevada and tried to help breathe life into the re-election campaign of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, calling him "one of my favorite people in the world."
"Over the years, he has been a tireless advocate on behalf of women," Obama told about 1,600 people in a keynote address to a women's summit in a downtown Reno convention hall.
(Excerpt) Read more at hosted.ap.org ...
When the wookie speaks, idiots listen.
1,600 paid SEIU maggots
Michelle Obama boosts Reid in Reno and Las VegasSo she stole him?
So in Barry's world it's OK for the Wookie to Fly a Private jet out to Las Vegas to support a corrupt politician....But a private citizen using their own money to fly out to Vegas and have some fun gambling is wrong??? Hypocrisy on display...
Yup,Hussein The Blessed boosted Marsha Coakley last January and our Dietician-In-Chief has boosted Dirty Harry.I hope Harry's got a book or two in the works because I'd hate to see him forced to squeak by on that paltry Congressional pension of...what....150K/yr?
Can she lift him with one arm or does she balance him on her shoulders? In any event, Reno or Vegas are perfect venues!
Imagine how incredibly demented you'd have to be to have Reid in your top 1000.
Fact: Both Michelle and POTUS Obama are radioactive for any Democrat running for office. Reid should now be considered history!!!
Yup...50,000 dirty hotel rooms in Vegas because of *that* little fling.
"First Lady Michelle Obama promoted healthy lifestyles ... and tried to help breathe life into the re-election campaign of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid,"
As Michelle's caravan/entourage pulled into Reno, she noticed a little rabbit lying on the side of the road. Since they had to cross a bridge, and there was a three ton weight limit so she would have to walk over the bridge, she hefted herself and her caboose out of the limo and waddled over to the poor creature. It showed no signs of life and—it was wearing eyeglasses.
Bigfoot said softly, "Little fellow, you remind me of my good friend, Harry Reid. I think I can help you."
She made the entire caravan detour to Las Vegas, since they don't have any drug stores in Reno.
She had her driver `put the pedal to the metal' and, several hundreds of premium gasoine later, he slammed on the brakes when they saw the poor little dead bunny that looked so much like her good friend, Harry Reid.
She took a plastic bottle out of a sack and squeezed it all over the rabbit and said, "Live, little friend. Live."
The bunny twitched, wrinkled its nose, adjusted its eye glasses and hopped away.
She had revived him with Rogaine: simple hare restorer, proving what a wise black woman she is, and right then and there she decided to give what was left to her nearly hair-free All-American husband-in-name-only, with an economy-size bottle of Viagra.
The End.
PS Go pound sand, Beck.
What? No fist bumps?
What is that outfit? Did she wear that today?
pinging you to another MaBelle fashion disaster (Bonus - Harry Reid!)
Looks like she got that rumpled mess from the trash bin at Goodwill.
looks like Harry is smellin the kid to see if he stinks
Could be she balances him on her head!
Man, and look at Harry's nose - if that isn't a scotch nose I'll eat your hat!
What is that? What is she wearing? I swear, left to her own devices she is the most unfashionable person I've ever seen.
amen that.....scotch all day nose right there
It is just downright embarrassing isn't it?
Loose the "stylist", hon, and stay away from all "Goodwills", and no last minute dumpster diving.
Gee, they could only roust 1,600? PAID to listen?
Humph! I'll bet Sarah could have brought out 16,000.
This article actually shows Reid is not doing so hot - only approved of by 33% of people surveyed. Michelle has high approval ratings.
It may be Bantu.
words just can't describe. . .what are they doing? Is it potty time in the desert? For decency sake, please go behind the rock.
oh now it's prayers after potty. . .
Had something in mind about changin luck, but I'll just shut my mouf.
Photo would be better in Sedona with mclame.
Oh, man. Please, dear lord, don't let Michelle Obama single-handedly bring back the 80's.
I'm speechless. And these are people who are running my country??? Yikes...
Don't they have mirrors in the White House????
good God! look at that, that thing. doesn't she care whatsoever about her weight?
Huh. And I never knew one could staple together maize-colored construction paper and make it into a skirt...the possibilities are endless for the next state dinner!
What the H E L L are they doing?!
Anything for a photo op I suppose.
Red Rock Canyon
Las Vegas, Nevada
MRS. OBAMA: Thank you. Thank you so much. (Applause.) Woohoo! (Laughter and applause.) Oh, my goodness, I am just delighted to be here. This is beautiful. And you notice, kids, how quiet it can be outside? We're outside! I live in the city. It is never this quiet outside.
It is beautiful. This is just a perfect place for the launch of this new initiative.
But let me begin by thanking — doing my thank you: First, to Senator Reid, not just for his kind introduction but all of the wonderful work he's done to move this country forward. He's just been a tremendous asset, not just to my husband, but to the country and to all of you kids. You know, everybody hears about what the President does, but Presidents can't do anything if they don't have a good team. And Senator Reid is a member of that good team. So we're just grateful to have him onboard. (Applause.)
And I have to thank Representative Titus for her tireless advocacy for the people of Nevada in Congress. She's a member of the team and is doing a terrific job.
Michelle Obama attended the 2010 Women's Summit in Reno, Nevada on Tuesday wearing a coral colored sundress paired with a pearl necklace. She told the audience, "First, let me begin by apologizing because I have a cold that I caught from this wonderful husband of mine. So forgive my voice and my dryness and all that good stuff. And when I come around to shake hands, there will be somebody following with Purell. Because you all have a lot of work to do and we can't afford for any of you to be sick."
Harry is one of Michelle's favorite mormons and a real booster of women. Who knew?
Kinda looks like the sermon on the mount, doesn't it?
Except we get platitudes and attitudes, not beatitudes.
Blessed are the cheesemakers....

Strong willed women, great world to read about. Savanah the witch is becominga women and strong too.. Cortez is a doll.
This is the third book in the Women of the Otherworld Series. The story is narrated by a witch named Paige Winterbourne. After the death of her mother, she is supposed to be the leader of the American coven, however the elders and most other members don't seem to respect her. She is taking care of a young witch, named Savannah, who is just on the verge of gaining most of her powers, and the coven isn't fond of her either. All of a sudden, Paige is being challenged on custody of Savannah by a half-demon named Leah who is representing a sorcerer claiming to be Savannah's father. Thanks to Leah, Paige is set up for murder and several other incidences that lead the town to thinking she is part of a Satanic Cult. Getting no support from her coven, Paige is left to depend on herself, Savannah, and a sorcerer (most untrustworthy to witches) named Lucas to keep Savannah out of the clutches of those who would harm her.
Dime Store Magic is a well written, well thought out, enjoyable novel of witchcraft in the modern world. In the world created in the story, witches live in hiding afraid that they will be found and exposed, allowing their magic to wane over time. Paige Winterbourne is a 23 year-old witch who is the leader of her Coven, taking over from her mom. Part of her responsibilities include taking care of the teenage Savannah, who has a talent for dark magic. This leads to the attraction of dark forces, including that of her sorcerer father. Paige turns to Lucas Cortez, a geeky sorcerer for help.
Dime Store Magic is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I liked the style and voice that Kelly Armstrong employed in this novel. It really fits the narrative and makes the story work. The plot is logical and well-developed. All together this was a strong novel and I look forward to reading more of Armstrong's work.
Carl Alves – author of Blood Street
Trigger warning for attempted rape
Dime Store Magic is the third in Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, but it stands alone. I was able to understand what was going on even without having read the second book.
Dime Store Magic was an okay book. It wasn't particularly great, but it wasn't particularly horrible. I don't regret reading it, but I wouldn't read it again. It was fairly entertaining and managed to hold my attention.
The plot of Dime Store Magic basically boils down to a supernatural custody case, which was something I hadn't seen before. The main character, Paige, has been the head witch of the coven since her mother's death. She has a ward, Savannah, whose deceased mother practiced black magic. Leah, an evil half-demon, has attempted to snatch Savannah before. But now, Leah's got an ace up her sleeve: Savannah's father, who's part of a nefarious sorcerer's cable which will stop at nothing to get their hands on a young witch.
The relationship between Paige and Savannah was probably my favorite part of the book. Savannah's a rather difficult thirteen year old, but it's clear she cares for Paige and vise versa.
I liked that the focus wasn't on the romantic relationship. There's really no romance at all for the first 300 pages, although this does mean that there was almost no build up when you suddenly got a sex scene.
On the trigger warning… the attempted rape was completely unnecessary and added nothing. She was already being threatened with death and torture, I have no idea what the Armstrong felt rape would add to the situation.
I would tentatively recommend Dime Store Magic for fans of urban fantasy.

I did a re-read of [b:Dime Store Magic|125926|Dime Store Magic (Women of the Otherworld, #3)|Kelley Armstrong|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355183293s/125926.jpg|2492799] for one of my 2015 reading challenges. I can't believe that it's already been ten years since I first read this book.
After the events of [b:Stolen|11922|Stolen (Women of the Otherworld #2)|Kelley Armstrong|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1300923278s/11922.jpg|14289], Paige Winterbourne has taken in thirteen year old Savannah Levine whose mother recently died. Savannah is a powerful witch for her age, but impulsive. It's a dangerous combination that has the Nast Cabal (the supernatural equivalent of the mafia) tearing Paige's life apart in a bid for custody. As her life continues to crumble around her, Paige is forced to accept assistance from Lucas Cortez, a young lawyer with his own motives for helping.
I decided to read Dime Store Magic again because I didn't give Paige a fair shot the first time around. When I first read this, it was immediately after devouring the first two books in the series, which feature werewolf Elena Michaels. I had adored Elena and wasn't excited to discover that the next book's narrator was going to be the twenty-something witch from Stolen. (Especially, since I hadn't cared for Paige in that story.) While I had ended-up enjoying Dime Store Magic on my first reading, I still thought Paige was a little lack luster. It wasn't until later in the series that I got into her and Lucas, as characters. So, I'm glad I did a re-read as I was able to appreciate them more this time around.
The most interesting thing about going back to this book was seeing just how far Armstrong has come with her characters and the world. There were several moments in the story where I thought Paige, Lucas, and the ideas behind witches were rather shaky and clichéd. It felt like Armstrong wasn't sure where she wanted to take the characters at this point in the series. Despite this, I still enjoyed the book enough that I might also re-read [b:Industrial Magic|125925|Industrial Magic (Women of the Otherworld, #4)|Kelley Armstrong|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388697160s/125925.jpg|121282].
Overall, my grade for this book didn't change. I would recommend Dime Store Magic to fans of the series, but I don't think I would suggest you start off with this book. If you're looking to get into the Women of the Otherworld series, I would suggest starting out with [b:Bitten|11918|Bitten (Women of the Otherworld #1)|Kelley Armstrong|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1306101770s/11918.jpg|2606334].

Oklahoma City Barons: Barons have deadly power-play unit
It should come as no surprise the Barons lead the American Hockey League in power play percentage.
Oklahoma City's power play features the same components that helped the Edmonton Oilers finish third in the NHL in power play percentage last season.
With Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins anchoring the power play, the Barons have averaged one goal a game with the man advantage.
"If you look at the good teams in the (NHL) they usually have pretty good special teams," Hall said. "You might not have to win it five-on-five. You can win with your power play."
The Oilers/Barons power play is young but loaded with talent.
Hall was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NHL draft.
Nugent-Hopkins was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NHL draft.
Eberle, an NHL All-Star last season, was a first-round pick in 2009.
All three have exceptional hockey IQs. Combine that with superb skating and stick handling, and it's a dynamic combination when opponents have a man in the penalty box.
"That's huge for the Oilers," said Barons coach Todd Nelson. "There's a stat where 75 or 80 percent of games are won or lost on special teams. Other than the first three games, our power play has been pretty consistent. They have it going pretty good right now."
Even though they were the youngest power play unit in the NHL last season, Eberle, Hall and Nugent-Hopkins have game-changing chemistry that sometimes takes years to develop.
"When you can see two or three passes ahead, not just the simple pass, but a pass to set someone up three plays ahead is what makes them so good," Nelson said. "They see what's developing. That's how they generate offense."
The Oilers/Barons' power play is even more potent with Justin Schultz, a rookie defenseman making his pro debut in Oklahoma City during the lockout.
Possessing quarterback-like skills, Schultz (43 points) is tied for the AHL scoring lead with Eberle. Nearly half of Schultz's league leading 27 assists have come on the power play.
Armed with a powerful wrist shot inside the blue line, Schultz also has scored 16 goals, a high total for a defenseman. One reason many analysts believe he'll develop into a perennial NHL All-Star is he's a defenseman that can attack the net like a forward.
"He's so talented," Eberle said. "Schultzy is Schultzy. He's the type of (defenseman) every team would love to have, especially on their power play."
Ralph Kruger, named Edmonton's head coach last summer, was the Oilers special teams coach last season. Edmonton improved from 27th in power play percentage to third under the former Swiss national coach whose top priority is outworking opponents.
"When we start to get too fancy we start shooting the puck," Eberle said. "Obviously, we have a lot of skill, which helps. But I think the biggest thing is you have to win battles, especially after you shoot the puck originally. A lot of stuff comes out of second opportunities."
There are subtle advantages to having an elite power play. Part of an opponent's game plan is to minimize minutes in the penalty box.
"For sure," Nelson said. "Teams will want to play disciplined. They don't want to be idiots. They won't take as many chances because they won't want you to have power play opportunities."
The Oilers haven't made the playoffs the past six seasons. One of the league's top power play units could help end the drought whenever the NHL returns.
And it's a power play unit that should continue to improve.
Nugent-Hopkins is 19. Hall just turned 21. Eberle and Schultz are 22.
"We've developed some chemistry with some good movement," Eberle said. "If one guy makes a play down to another guy you know what spot you're supposed to be. The more we play with each other we're only going to get better."

No. 48 on defense, outside linebacker Kourtnei Brown, looks -- superficially at least -- a lot like Aldon Smith, who was wearing No. 48 at the beginning of last year's training camp. Both are tall with long legs and very long arms. Smith didn't jump out until full contact drills began in training camp, (and he later switched to No. 99). As of now, contact is forbidden in practice, and it's hard to say anything definitive about the young linemen and linebackers. But Brown certainly looks the part.

California's Latino Divide over Bilingual Education in Latest Ballot Initiative, Golden State Considers Best Way to Integrate Immigrants
Daniel B. Wood, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
Minority activists and education reformers are bracing for the next big, national debate on American civil rights - courtesy of a California ballot initiative.
Golden State voters barred public benefits for illegal immigrants in 1994 and ended affirmative action last year. Now, with signatures submitted for the June 1998, "English for the Children" initiative, battle lines are being drawn for what promises to be another heated war of values and rhetoric over bilingual education.
But exactly where Latinos stand on the issue is a matter of increasing debate. Despite a recent Los Angeles Times poll that found 84 percent of Hispanics are against continuing bilingual education, other surveys have indicated that this support is far from solid. And as leaders in the Latino community line up on both sides of the issue, the fight for the Hispanic vote is taking on greater urgency. The new measure seeks to virtually eliminate bilingual programs in the state that is home to half the nation's 2.6 million public-school students who are considered "limited English proficient" (LEP). As activists in states such as Massachusetts, New York, and Florida gear up for local campaigns of their own, the California ballot brawl will generate public-policy implications from statehouses to courthouses and Congress. "The whole country is watching California for the lessons this fight holds for how children everywhere should or shouldn't learn English," says Eric Stone, director of research at US English, a national organization dedicated to promoting English as the official language of the US. At issue, he says, are how billions of dollars of public funds will be allocated, how such children will be taught, and how quickly - or slowly - non-English-speaking children can be assimilated into English-speaking society. Nationwide, between $6 billion and $12 billion per year is spent on 2.6 million students in bilingual education. About $4 billion to $5 billion is spent in California, where the number of LEP students has doubled in 10 years. "The question is what learning English means for those of other language backgrounds in being able to fully participate in American society for the rest of their lives," says Mr. Stone. The California initiative would replace several kinds of programs now offered with one year of intensive English instruction, during which academic study in other subjects would be on hold. It would require that children be taught in English unless enough parents - 20 per grade level - request bilingual education annually and in person. Who's who Led by millionaire Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ron Unz, opponents of bilingual education here have submitted 700,000 signatures, fully expecting to fulfill the 433,269 needed to qualify for the June ballot. Backed by Mr. Unz's deep pockets - he has spent $200,000 of his own money so far - the antibilingual forces have gotten off to a quick start, dominating the state and national media with their message that California's 30-year experiment with bilingual education has failed. "Bilingual education began with the best of intentions, but it's been 30 years and they've never gotten it right," says Unz, who ran against Pete Wilson in the 1996 GOP gubernatorial primary here, garnering 30 percent of the vote. "It's time to end it," he says. Unz says he got the idea after watching immigrant parents stage a public boycott of Ninth Street Elementary in Los Angeles after the school administration refused to allow their children to be taught English. …

First Swine Flu Vaccinations Arrive in Israel
The batch of 350,000 swine flu vaccinations will be distributed over the next two weeks.
The first swine flu vaccinations arrived in Israel Sunday, and 350,000 doses are expected to be here by the end of the week.
The vaccinations, produced by the Swiss company Novartis, were flown in. They are expected to pass inspection, have the relevant stickers in Hebrew applied, and be distributed to the health maintenance organizations and hospitals over the next two weeks.
The team advising the Health Ministry on handling epidemics decided last week that the first vaccinations would be administered to medical staff and to chronically ill patients between the ages of 10-65.
Chronically ill patients between the ages of 3 and 9 will receive two inoculations.
The team has not yet decided whether to inoculate pregnant women and children under age 3.
Inoculation has already begun in the U.S., Australia and the United Kingdom.
Long lines in U.S.
Long lines were reported at U.S. vaccination points, despite warnings that the vaccine may have significant side effects, as it underwent expedited testing.
During the last swine flu outbreak, in 1976, a vaccine was developed that left 500 people with Guillain-Barre syndrome, which has neurological side-effects. Twenty-five people died due to respiratory complications.
Israel is expecting to receive 1.75 million vaccinations by the end of the year, and 2.3 million by next March. The vaccinations will be provided by the three companies contracted by the Health Ministry - Novartis, Sanofi Pasteur of France, and GlaxoSmithKline of Britain.

For my thesis project I decided to create four recipe books on Japanese cuisine. As a food lover I have always admired the beauty and enjoyed the taste of Japanese food, and after some time spent living in Japan I also came to know that many dishes are associated with particular celebrations or with special festivals during the year. Seasonality is very important in this country, where every season brings with it a whole world of "collective rituals", creating 4 unique universes of colours, shapes and flavours.
I wrote these books entirely, illustrating the recipes and the stories within them. But these works are not mere recipe books: I chose food as a medium to show the soul of this fantastic country, in which aesthetics, tradition and culture form an extraordinary bond. This is why I also added photomontages of food and places, in order to give the feeling of what a dish is, or to have a glance of the country, just like a train passenger does when looking outside the window.
I also inserted some Japanese traditional poems (haiku), so often related to seasons, and every book ends with a special section dedicated to other aspects of food and cuisine, like the tea ceremony, the knife ceremony, how to use chopsticks and how to arrange dishes on the table.
Because Japanese food is not only sushi.


text: Has anyone used one of these updated Timbuk2 bags? I have a small one from about 3 years ago. The strap sucks but it looks like they fixed it. Thinking about getting a medium just to try it out again., to have a cheap bag when I don't need my large R.e. Load. It seems pretty decent for $75 for a medium.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The one thing that slowed the St. Louis Rams' offense this season was turnovers. The New England Patriots turned those giveaways into 17 points Sunday to help win their first Super Bowl.
Ty Law ran back an interception 47 yards for the Patriots' first points. Terrell Buckley went 15 yards with a fumble recovery to set up another touchdown. And Otis Smith ran another interception 30 yards, leading to a field goal in New England's 20-17 victory.
Adam Vinatieri wouldn't have had the opportunity to kick his 48-yard field goal as the game ended without those takeaways.
"We were challenging those guys all game," Law said. "We were getting up in their face. You have to do that.
"They say it's the best track team in the National Football League, but I never saw anybody win a 100-yard dash with someone standing in front of them."
The Patriots pressured league most valuable player honoree Kurt Warner all day, getting three sacks. They also kept offensive player of the year honoree Marshall Faulk from doing much damage. Faulk rushed for 76 yards, but made few big plays against the hard-hitting Patriots.
"It was mistakes on our part that turned into points for them," Warner said. "Those mistakes led to 17 points and they've got a world championship because of it."
The turnovers decided one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history. The Patriots were 14-point underdogs to St. Louis, which went 14-2 this season with a high-powered offense that scored 503 points. The Rams, however, also led the league with 44 giveaways.
The Rams averaged 19 points in the first half this season, yet had only three at halftime. Although the Patriots couldn't establish much on offense, they didn't need to because of the takeaways.
The Rams gave New England the break it was looking for in the second quarter.
Having slowed the pace, the Patriots sought a critical defensive play, which came when Mike Vrabel pressured Warner into an awful throw to his right. The ball floated directly to Law, who ran untouched for a score.
"I was in the right place to make that big play and it was a huge momentum swing," Law said.
Later in the period, Ricky Proehl fumbled a reception when hit by Antwan Harris' helmet, and Buckley returned it to the St. Louis 40.
David Patten's leaping 8-yard catch made it 14-3 at halftime.
"They have capitalized on turnovers all year, and that's how they won this game." Proehl said. "We all had a part in this ballgame and the turnovers, including myself."
Smith knocked Torry Holt to the ground at the line on his pickoff. Warner threw to where he expected his receiver to be, but the misguided pass went directly to Smith.
His return to the Rams 33 set up Vinatieri's first field goal, a 37-yarder with 1:18 remaining in the third quarter.
"We shocked the world," said Smith, who has had a knack for making plays that turn games - positively and negatively. This time, it was all positive.
"We pressed them, man. And that's what we said we were going to do."
While Warner led the Rams back, he admitted the only three turnovers of the game severely damaged St. Louis.
"You can play pretty much flawless and those turnovers won't hurt," he said. "But they made the difference today. We played pretty well, then we made those mistakes, and they were the kind of mistakes you lose games with."
And Super Bowls.

A man is coming by to install a new backyard fence, and I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.
How pathetic is that?
It just goes to show how your priorities change once you reach a certain age. A new fence is practically putting me in orbit. It's like Christmas.
At other times in my life this sort of glee was reserved for truly stellar events, such as:
Christmas (saw that one coming, didn't you?).
A new episode of "Jonny Quest" (age 9).
Acquisition of a driver's license (age 16), thereby legalizing something I'd already been doing for eight years.
Casting my first vote (age 18). Actually, that one never gets old.
Legally drinking an intoxicating beverage (age 21), legalizing something I'd already been doing for five years.
Getting a new ukulele (age now).
Stellar events, I tell you. Stellar.
Of course, there's also a practical consideration at work here. The old fence has needed replacing for a couple of years. It's raggedy.
How raggedy?
So raggedy that my neighbor Sam probably wouldn't be surprised if Jethro and Granny poked their heads over the top to say they were moving to Californy.
There are gaps in it big enough for a dog to walk through, and it is only by the grace of God that my dog has either not figured this out or, more likely, does not care.
He's a rescued racing greyhound; and except for two times a day when he gets excited about going for a walk and two times a day when he goes to the yard and runs as fast as he can for five laps, he's a pretty laid back guy.
He likes his bed, his food bowl and the occasional scratch behind the ears. He's not exactly an escape risk.
Now I must admit that I did ask myself if, dog notwithstanding, I needed a fence. It's not like there's anything going on out there that I need to hide from the prying eyes of the neighbors. Darn it.
But every backyard in the neighborhood is fenced, and far be it from me to break the pattern.
Oh, it also serves as a deterrent to keep people from coming to your yard and taking your stuff. I probably should throw that in. You have to think about that sort of thing where I live. This part of the city has, on occasion, been a popular destination for a certain element that does not share the customary belief about the private ownership of movable property.
So the fence man cometh. First he will removeth the old fence and then diggeth the holes and installeth the posts — I mean, dig the holes and install the posts.
Then he'll add the boards, and presto. It's fence party time. This is worth celebrating. There may even be confetti.
And best of all I can actually afford it. That may be the real reason for all this glee.
There's actually enough money in the bank to get a new fence without going into debt. There may even be some left over to hire a landscaper to help me get the yard back in shape.
Talk about excitement. I don't know if my heart could stand it.

Comments about 7 For All Mankind The Skinny in Grey Black Destroy:
I love 7 jeans...love them so much that I bought these in one size larger than I usually wear because my size (26) was sold out. I had them altered and it was well worth it since I purchased these jeans on sale. I LOVE the wash - grey/black destroy. I wear this style with ballet flats for daytime and in the evening I pair them with heels.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Skinny Jean, but be careful!
By Makdub
from Canada
I'm an employee at 7 For All Mankind Canada, and we got these jeans in. I purchased them as a skinny, and they are by far my favourite pair of jeans. They are comfortable, so stretchy that they could be mistaken for Slim Illusion (Seven's with elastic) and a great wash.I wear them almost daily, and I have almost no problems. The only issue is that they, as 7 For All Mankind denim tends to do, stretched to heck. I made the mistake of buying them a bit too big, and they stretched like crazy. I constantly have to pull them up. They're still comfortable, but the waistband falls.If you want to purchase these, get them as small as possible, I promise that they will stretch out to fit your body.The pre-distressing is done very well and adds a really nice worn but still dressy look that I love. The distressing hasn't ripped any farther on their own and don't leave gaping holes in the jeans. All in all I'm very pleased with my denim and highly recommend this wash and denim to anyone who's looking for a more edgy jean, or even just a casual look.
