My favourite drive is the one from Montreal down the spine of Vermont into southern New Hampshire.
I plan on coming to New England for about 7+ days with a friend and my mother. We are flying into Boston, renting a car and then free to do what we like. We all love nature, seeing the sites and not sitting to still for very long so we can take it all in. We have had one suggestion of going south to Newport, Cape Cod etc. The other to go north Bar Harbor, White Mountains, Green Mountains, Berkshires and back to Boston. I guess there is no way to get it all in one trip, will give us an excuse to come back! But any suggestions would be great! Mom is in great shape and loves to get around, just FYI....
Lynda and I have only been to boston on short trip of 5 hours whilst on ship that wascruiseing up to nova scotia,the only problem was that we did not venture far in from coastal towns to see the real new England.we would very much like to come over and take in the scenery and local hospitality,it would be great if we could trace some of our ancesters that may have crossed from boston England by the surname of Pell.all suggestions welcome

Huge , heavy pair of transmission line speakers finished in black veneer. They weigh around 50kg each and are approx 19.5 by 13.5 by 40.5 inches in dimension.
Each cabinet has 4 drivers which i believe are KEF B139B , KEF B110A , KEF T27 and Coles 4001 super tweeter. I really like them and they sound great with a 300b / panasonic dvd and shek dac but they are in the way of a kitchen being built! I just dont have the space to store them.
I'm sorry i cant answer any techie questions about them and know very little about their history - i was initially told they were a special order for a theatre but cant support this myself. They are certainly very well made and in good condition - there is a small damaged area on the top of one where the veneer has been partially reglued and a chip missing and at the other rear top corner the veneer has started to lift. This is minor however and could easily be improved upon.[ATTACH]Attachment 1510[/ATTACH]
I think i have attached a couple of pictures - i'll try and add some more.
I paid £140 for these (and some more for delivery) and would ideally like to recover this! They are certainly a lot of speaker for the money!
Sorry I cant deliver - I can hardly lift them - Collection only from Bristol BS6.

Is McCain a Natural Blonde
John McCain has had so many gaffes this year that some of the boys down at the Bait Shop are wondering if he is a natural Blond. We did not think much of this talk until Elizabeth Horseback went on the Campaign stump for McCain and Palin. That about sealed the deal. She wrote the book on blond jokes. (We apologize to real blonds).
What is the McCain evidence:
- Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. He screwed up the words to that Beatles song.
- Frankenstein is older than dirt. Well, not really. He was invented by a man.
- "I am a proud conservative liberal Republican. No chance, there are no liberal Republicans, geez.
- Iran is training Al Quaeda and sending them to Iraq. No way, if anything, Al Quaeda would Train the Iranians.
- I want to veto beer. How dumb is that, his wife owns a beer distributorship.
We don't know if he is a natural blond or not – maybe he is just old:Book Mark it-> del.icio.us | Reddit | Slashdot | Digg | Facebook | Technorati | Google | StumbleUpon | Window Live | Tailrank | Furl | Netscape | Yahoo | BlinkList

On this day January 27 Richard "Dick" Taylor (January 27, 1826 – April 12, 1879) was born. He was an American plantation owner, politician, military historian and Confederate general during the War Between the States. Although he had no formal military training he was regarded as an outstanding leader and among only eighteen men to have earned the title of Confederate Lieutenant General. Undoubtedly his most notable service occurred in 1864 when his troops completely thwarted the Union's Red River Expedition in Louisiana.
Richard Taylor was the only son of Margaret Mackall (Smith) and the future 12th President of the United States Zachary Taylor. He was born in Springfield Kentucky at the Taylor family home near Louisville. He was named for his Grandfather who was a Virginian and had served as a Revolutionary War officer. In his early life while his father was stationed at remote frontier posts Richard remained at home and attended private schools in Kentucky and Massachusetts. After starting his college studies at Harvard College he transferred to Yale College where he graduated in 1845. He received no scholastic honors but spent the majority of his free time reading books on classical and military history.
When the Mexican-American War began in 1846, Taylor joined his father in Texas and served as his military secretary. He was present at the opening Battles of Palo Alto and Reseca de la Palma but declined to join the military so his father sent him to Jefferson County, Mississippi to manage the family cotton plantation. During his tenure there he met Jefferson Davis who would become his Brother-In-Law and the future president of the Confederate States of America. After his father was elected to the White House in 1848, Richard convinced him to purchase Fashion, a large sugar plantation in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.
After Zachary Taylor's untimely death in July 1850, Richard inherited Fashion. Steadily he increased its acreage, improved its sugar works and expanded its labor force to nearly 200 slaves. On February 10, 1851, Taylor married Louise Marie Myrthe Bringier who was a native of Louisiana and the daughter of a wealthy French Creole matriarch Aglae Bringier. They had five children, two sons and three daughters; Richard, Zachary, Louise, Elizabeth, and Myrthe. Their two sons died of scarlet fever during the War Between the States, for which both Taylors suffered deeply.
During his time in Louisiana Taylor became involved in politics and was elected to the Louisiana Senate which he served in until 1861. Taylor was a familiar figure in the upper-class circles of New Orleans, racing thoroughbred horses at the famous Metairie Track and appearing at the gaming tables of the exclusive Boston Club. Although a staunch Democrat, Taylor was generally moderate on the issue of slavery and he opposed the secessionist wing of his party. He was involved in trying to arrange a compromise between the two factions at the 1860 Democratic convention at Charleston South Carolina. When those negotiations failed Taylor concluded that secession was inevitable and in January 1861 he voted along with the majority of the Louisiana secession convention to join the Confederacy.
Shortly after the War Between the States began in April 1861 Taylor traveled to Pensacola Florida to visit family friend Brigadier General Braxton Bragg. While there Bragg requested that that Taylor aid him in training new units that were destined for service in Virginia. Taylor agreed and commenced working but turned down several offers to serve in the Confederate Army. Highly effective in this role he was recognized by Confederate President Jefferson Davis and in July 1861 Taylor finally yielded and accepted a commission as colonel of the 9th Louisiana Infantry. Taking the regiment north it arrived in Virginia too late to participate at the First Battle of Manassas. That fall the Confederate Army reorganized and on October 21 Taylor received a promotion to brigadier general. With the promotion came command of a brigade comprised of Louisiana regiments.
Taylor enjoyed his brigade's respect along with a reputation as a consummate student of military history, strategy, and tactics. "Dick Taylor was a born soldier," asserted a close friend. "Probably no civilian of his time was more deeply versed in the annals of war." Taylor's Louisiana Brigade included the infamous battalion of "Louisiana Tigers," and they proved vital to Major General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's brilliant Shenandoah Valley campaign during the spring of 1862. Jackson used Taylor's brigade as an elite strike force that dealt swift flanking attacks against much larger Union forces. At Front Royal on May 23, again at Winchester on May 25, and finally at the climactic battle of Port Republic on June 9 Taylor led the Louisianans in timely assaults against strong enemy positions.
On July 28, 1862, with the recommendation of Jackson, Taylor was promoted to the rank of Major General and at the time was the youngest man with that rank in the Confederacy. However, he was plagued by acute attacks of arthritis which was probably brought on by exposure to cold weather. Therefore at his own request he was subsequently reassigned to command of the District of West Louisiana which at that time was a part of the Department of Trans-Mississippi under General Edmund Kirby Smith. His orders were to conscript and enroll troops in the District of Western Louisiana.
Historian John D. Winters wrote that Taylor was also to "Command all troops south of the Red River and was to prevent the enemy from using the rivers and bayous in the area. Troops were to be gathered and sent to fill up the ranks of Louisiana regiments serving in Virginia. After this, Taylor was to retain as many recruits as would be needed in the state. Light batteries of artillery were to be organized to harass passing enemy vessels on the streams. ... The enemy was to be confined to as narrow an area as possible, and communications and transportation across the Mississippi River were to be kept open."
In 1862 the Confederacy's condition in the West was at its lowest point since the war had begun. New Orleans had fallen and Vicksburg would fall a year later and with that Union forces gained complete control of the Mississippi River. The Union commander at New Orleans, General Benjamin Butler made several attempts to invade northern Louisiana but under Taylor's command his troops brilliantly handled engagements in April and November and drove Butler's forces back to New Orleans. In the spring of 1864, Union forces intensified their efforts by deploying a large army under General Nathaniel P. Banks and a gunboat flotilla under Commander David D. Porter. These two officers were directed to advance along the Red River into Texas. The Union had four goals at the start of the campaign:
1. To destroy the Confederate Army commanded by Taylor.
2. To capture Shreveport, Louisiana, Confederate headquarters for the Trans-Mississippi Department, control the Red River to the north, and occupy east Texas.
3. To confiscate as much as a hundred thousand bales of cotton from the plantations along the Red River.
4. To organize pro-Union state governments in the region.
Union strategists in Washington thought that the occupation of east Texas and control of the Red River would separate Texas from the rest of the Confederacy. Texas was the source of much needed guns, food, and supplies for Confederate troops. Other historians have also claimed that the campaign was motivated by concern regarding the 25,000 French troops in Mexico sent by Napoleon III and under the command of Emperor Maximillian. At the time, the Confederates offered to recognize the government of Maximillian in return for French recognition of the Confederacy and to gain access to valuable war goods through this recognition.
Taylor's command meanwhile was severely undermanned and he continually squabbled with Kirby Smith over manpower priorities. With few reinforcements available to him he resolved to resist the Union advance up the Red River with whatever forces he had available. In March 1864 Banks pressed up the Red River towards Shreveport supported by Union gunboats under Porter. Initially withdrawing up the river from Alexandria, Taylor sought advantageous ground for making a stand. On April 8 he attacked Banks at the Battle of Mansfield. His troops overwhelmed the Union forces there and compelled them to retreat back to Pleasant Hill. Seeking a decisive victory Taylor struck this position the next day but could not break through Banks' lines. Though checked, the two battles compelled Banks to abandon the campaign and he began moving downstream. Eager to crush Banks, Taylor became enraged when Smith stripped three divisions from his command to block a Union incursion from Arkansas. Reaching Alexandria, Porter found that the water levels had dropped and that many of his vessels could not move over the nearby falls. Though Union forces were briefly trapped, Taylor lacked the manpower to attack and Kirby Smith refused to return his men. As a result, Porter had a dam constructed to raise the water levels and Union forces escaped downstream.
If there were any weaknesses in Taylor they were bad health and an equally bad temper. One of his officers remembered, "Taylor well was charming company [but] Taylor sick was not a pattern of patience and amiability." Whether he was sick or not, Taylor's temper often got the best of him. Another veteran wrote that Taylor was "a very quiet, unassuming little fellow, but noisy on retreats, with a tendency to cuss mules and wagons which stall in the road." Irate over Smith's orders, Taylor attempted to resign as he was unwilling to serve with Kirby Smith any further. This request was denied but on July 18 1864, President Davis promoted Taylor to Lieutenant General and placed him in charge of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and East Louisiana. He arrived at his new headquarters in Alabama in August but found the department lacking troops and resources. Earlier in the month Mobile had been closed to Confederate traffic in the wake of the Union victory at the Battle of Mobile Bay. While Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest's cavalry worked to limit Union incursions into Alabama, Taylor lacked the men to block Union operations around Mobile. In January 1865 following General John Bell Hood's disastrous Franklin-Nashville Campaign Taylor was given command of the remnants of the Army of Tennessee. Resuming his normal duties after this force was transferred to the Carolinas he soon found his department overrun by Union troops later that spring. Following the surrender at Appomattox in April, Taylor attempted to hold out for as long as possible.
In late April reports reached Taylor of the meetings between Johnston and Sherman about the terms of Johnston's surrender of his armies. Taylor agreed to meet with Major General Edward R. S. Canby for a conference north of Mobile, and they settled on a 48 hour's truce on April 30. Then on May 4 at Citronelle, Alabama Taylor agreed to surrender his armies and was the last to do so east of the Mississippi river. The terms stated that Taylor could retain control of the railway and river steamers in order for his men to return to their homes. Taylor stayed in Meridian Mississippi until the last man was sent on his way. He was paroled on May 13 and then went to Mobile to join Canby. Canby took him to his home in New Orleans by boat.
Taylor's return found economic collapse and widespread financial devastation. With his plantation in ruins and confiscated he reunited with his family in Natchitoches. He divided his time between there and New York and began working for wealthy New York City attorney Samuel Latham Mitchell Barlow. Barlow was an influential powerbroker in the Democratic Party and being the son of a former President, Taylor was able to gain access to places and people other Confederates were not. At Barlow's request, Taylor negotiated with Presidents Andrew Johnson and Ulysses S. Grant and also lobbied members of Congress in an attempt to advance democratic principles mainly by gaining more lenient treatment for the South. Increasingly distrustful of Radical Republicans, Taylor finally cursed Reconstruction "as a loathsome evil, with Johnson as its inept victim and Grant as its corrupt handmaiden."
Shortly after his wife's death in 1875, Taylor moved with his three daughters to Winchester, Virginia. He became very involved in New Yorker Samuel J. Tilden's Democratic presidential campaign in 1876. While in New York a few weeks before his death Taylor completed his memoirs; Destruction and Reconstruction: Personal Experiences of the Late War. It has been recognized as one of the most respected, non-biased histories of the War. On April 12, 1879 at the age of 53, Taylor died at Barlow's home in New York City succumbing to severe internal congestion resulting from his long battle with rheumatoid arthritis. Although Taylor had never demonstrated strong religious convictions an Episcopal clergyman was present to minister to him. His body was returned to New Orleans and he was buried in the family crypt at Metairie Cemetery.
Most of Taylor's contemporaries and subordinates held his military prowess in high regard. Nathan Bedford Forrest commented that "He's the biggest man in the lot. If we'd had more like him, we would have licked the Yankees long ago." Stonewall Jackson and Richard S. Ewell frequently commented on their conversations with Taylor. Ewell stated that he came away from his conversations with Taylor more knowledgeable and impressed with the amount of information Taylor possessed. He was one of the most capable Confederate leaders of the west and with sufficient resources might have exerted decisive impact in that hard-fought theater. The Lt. General Richard Taylor Camp #1308, Sons of Confederate Veterans in Shreveport Louisiana is named for General Taylor. The camp was chartered in 1971.

Florida Marlins: Would-be free agent Omar Infante rejects first contract offer
The Marlins have made would-be free agent second baseman Omar Infante a contract offer, which he's already rejected. Infante is hopeful of striking a deal that will keep him in South Florida next season and beyond.
"One day we talked about it," Infante said. "I think they're going to wait because up to now we haven't talked about it again. They said they wanted me and made me a proposal. I didn't want it, so we decided to wait until after the season to start negotiating."
The Marlins really can't afford to lose Infante. He's a big reason they are much improved defensively. Offensively, he had a rough April, but from May 4 through Wednesday he was hitting .297 (121-for-408) with 36 multi-hit games….
It appears more likely Ozzie Guillen's tenure as White Sox manager is ending. Guillen still has one year left on his deal, though. Are the Marlins prepared to make a trade for him? If so, who?…
Nice read from ESPN's Amy Nelson on Logan Morrison and his father.

WHAT A Night in Italy
WHEN Sunday March 23rd, 4 p.m.
WHERE Smyrna Opera House 7 West South Street Smyrna, DE 19977
Sponsored by The Right Bottle
COST $55 for a four-course tasting, wine & music.INFO tuneyourpalate.com, or call (302) 530-0790(302) 530-0790.
When Paul Cullen was growing up in Buffalo, N.Y., he loved watching his grandmother, Elsie Tagliaferro, whip up a delicious meal with Italian flair. "She was a farm-to-table chef long before it was cool," says Cullen, who now lives in the Millsboro area.
His grandmother sparked a passion for fresh Italian cuisine that Cullen loves to share with others. He'll do just that on March 23rd, beginning at 4 p.m., when he brings "A Night in Italy" to the Smyrna Opera House on 7 West South Street, Smyrna DE
The event, which pairs four dishes from Italy's regions with matching wines, is no ordinary cooking class. Think of it as a tasting and a show. Cullen, the former bassist for the rock group Bad Company, is a talented guitarist. Between courses, he'll play music, so guests can experience both the taste and the sounds of the Mediterranean.
"These demonstrations blend together my passions: great food, cool music and jazzy wines," says Cullen, a professional musician for more than 30 years. "It really makes for a fun night out – for me and the class."
In addition to leading the popular cooking classes, which often feature an Old World recipes, Cullen frequently performs throughout the area in promotion of his three solo CDs.
"All," he says, "pair well with wine and fine food!"
The cost is $55, which includes a tasting of everything Cullen makes and wine. You must be 21 to attend, and there are only a limited number of seats available.

I ran top and Htop and there is nothing that uses my CPU or my RAM (I mean nothing that use the whole RAM or CPU). I even change the platform several time(now is Xubuntu). But still it freezes when I do simple things. (Like when I'm editing a document!) But surprisingly when I run a program (that use lots of memory) the laptop functions normal! I have no idea what is the problem! Or how can I find it! I even thought it might be because of Chrome! But the computer freeze even when I'm not using chrome! it freeze for few minutes (the mouse moves really slow, the windows change slowly) and then it's okay for few more minutes!
Can someone tell me what I should do! Or how can I find out what is the problem?

I'm going to show you how to protect yourself..
On Facebook: *(click on images to see larger view – easier to read the small print )*
Click the padlock on the screen's top right hand corner (hopefully your Facebook page looks similar to Mine)
It should look like this page: This way you can Quickly Verify that ONLY APPROVED FRIENDS can see your posts…NOW, at the bottom of that drop-down menu, Choose "see more settings", to limit who can view what you've posted in the past…
Wait that's not all.. There's more….
Click the "ADS" link on the left side of the screen.. Select " NO ONE" from the " Third Party Sites" and " Ads & Friends" Drop-down menus – that means your photos and info may not be used in the advertisements..
Third Party Sites – Click on EDIT
this is what it looks like – Click on the " NO-ONE" and then save changes
Then go to Ads & Friends – Click on EDIT
This is what it looks like… click on the " No ONE " then save changes…
Be wise though… About which photo you Even UPLOAD to Facebook, especially when you share photo's of your children these days… Even if your settings allow ONLY your friends to see the pictures, that doesn't mean they can't be downloaded and shared by others..
On TWITTER Select "Protect my Tweets" and on the INSTAGRAM app, select "Photos are Private", followers will have to request access to your page..
Even links that appear to have been posted by your friends might have been added by cybercriminals just for the purpose of accessing your personal data.. Use restraint when posting photos of your personal location.. I recently had this happen to me.. It sucks.
Hints; poor grammar and unusual topics are often signs of malicious links. And remember that when you "check in" to locations with FourSquare and similar smartphone apps, you're broadcasting your exact whereabouts and the fact that you're not at home.. So if your in the market too have your home robbed or inviting a stalker to follow you.. Go right ahead.. Not that I'm interested in creating a bunch of Paranoid skitzoids or anything. FAR from it, but we are not living in the 1920's here.. This day and age it's dangerous out there and people are desperate, the economy is bad and people are losing their jobs left and right and are in need of money, food and they don't care how they get it.. All I'm saying is protect yourself… This is just ONE extra way to protect yourself…

The son of an attorney-father and schoolteacher-mother, Stitt grew up in Toronto, where he recalls always being tuned to a fast pace. "I had so much energy when I was 5 or 6, my mom made me run around the house 10 or 20 times before I went to bed," he remembers. From about age 8 on, he played competitive tennis. He credits the long hours of practice as planting the seeds of the work ethic he has had his whole life. "When my friends were goofing around, I was training," he says. "I think that instilled discipline in me at a young age."
Stitt played tennis at the University of Western Ontario, where he graduated in 1988 with a bachelors degree in economics. He went on to the Schulich School of Business at York University, earning his MBA there in 1991. "In school I had an affinity for courses on underdeveloped countries," he recalls. "I was fascinated with the economics of the least-developed countries. So after I finished my MBA, I decided to throw on a backpack and go to Asia for six months on a budget of $6 a day."
Trekking throughout Indonesia, Thailand, and Nepal, Stitt says he found things to like in Buddhism and in people he found to be friendly and compassionate, even though they subsisted on very little. He returned to Canada with the goal of landing a job with some sort of Asian connection. He thought he'd found the perfect situation at Mister Leonard, a family-owned women's wear business in Toronto. The company was planning a joint venture with the Chinese government to open a clothing factory in Shanghai and wanted a Western executive on site to run it. "They hired me and said, 'We'll teach you the business,' " Stitt says. "The factory deal fell through, but I stayed on."
With clothing companies moving production to Hong Kong and elsewhere in Asia, Stitt says he figured there would be plenty of travel in the job. More fundamental to his future career, he was able to work under a legendary figure in the Canadian rag trade. Mister Leonard was run by Sam Gertner, known as a hardnosed dealmaker who didn't easily suffer fools. "He was an old-time garmento genius who drove incredible profitability," Stitt recalls. "He allowed me to learn all the facets of the business. I'd go to Paris to the biggest fabric show in the world. . . . I'd go to Italy to Prato to buy fabric, to China to the factories. He let me run the sales force. I oversaw merchandising for a number of years. I was so fortunate because you can start your career working in a big company and you're kind of in a silo. I was fortunate to start out in a place where I could learn every aspect of the business and in a very profitable company. [Gertner] taught me how to make money in the apparel business."
At its height, Mister Leonard was doing about $50 million a year in sales. Then, though, Gertner fell into poor health and, in 1999, decided to close the company and retire. One of Mister Leonard's lines of business was developing and selling women's wear under a licensing arrangement with Haggar.
Joe Haggar III and then-CEO Frank Bracken asked Stitt if he'd like to open a women's-wear subsidiary in Canada for Haggar. Stitt agreed and started a three-person operation housed in an 800-square-foot office. "I was allowed to be entrepreneurial while I still had this larger company behind me," Stitt says. "It was a really nice mix for me."
Nanditha Zuckerman, now Haggar's senior vice president of global operations, was one of those in the Canadian operation. Stitt "understands what motivates people, and he has very clear expectations," she says. "He does a wonderful job of pushing us beyond our comfort zone, but he's clear in his expectations; he's not setting you up to fail. He moves fast. His team is always on high alert. If everything's going well, he's going to throw another challenge at you."
In Canada, Stitt oversaw a rapid and successful move of production offshore, and was constantly growing the business by offering different products and categories, Zuckerman says. In about four years, he grew a $3 million business to $20 million. Then, in 2005, Haggar took back the license it had given another company to make and sell men's clothes in Canada, and Stitt's operation was put in charge of developing the company's men's clothing business in Canada as well. "Men's and women's fashions are completely different businesses," Zuckerman says. "We had to learn a whole new business and do it so nothing fell away. We continued to grow that business, too." From 2006, when he was named president of the Canadian operation, to his promotion to the headquarters in Dallas, Stitt grew the business by five times and maintained double-digit margins throughout the period.
Zuckerman says Stitt's approach to personnel has meant she's never had to ask for a promotion. He knew when she was ready to move up. And, she says, she hasn't been held back for taking four maternity leaves. "He made me COO of the Canadian organization when I was eight months pregnant with my second child," she says.
"He's a very humble leader," Zuckerman adds, noting that Stitt's office next to the executive conference room is one of the smallest on the floor. Located at the back of the company's six-story building, Stitt's office does, however, have a nice view of the Trinity River's Elm Fork branch.
In Canada, Zuckerman says, "We built this company where employees came to work and it was their passion. It was not just a job they came to [in order] to pay their bills. Everyone's driving force was, 'Let's do what right for the company.'" That, she says, is the culture Stitt wants to recreate in Dallas.
Stitt and his revamped management team face the challenge of appealing both to loyal, older customers who have bought Haggar for years, and "the millennial guy" in his 20s or early 30s.
Haggar's primary customers are department stores such as Macy's, Kohl's, J.C. Penney, and Sears. It also has 60 outlet stores, a part of the business Stitt wants to grow by 10 or 15 stores a year. There are also online sales, another part of the business where Stitt sees growth potential.
Walking about a room resembling a retail sales floor referred to as "Haggar University," Stitt points out a new line of pants with a younger customer in mind they're calling, sure enough, "Slacks." "We're going to ship these early next year for the spring," he says. "They're age-appropriate for millennials—more slim and straight fits, more modern fabrics. There are things you can do to cultivate [younger customers]. We're using social media and various other mediums."
Rich Honiball, senior vice president of marketing and licensing and e-commerce, and another Stitt hire, says vintage clothing is a major influence on current, younger fashion, and Haggar is well-positioned to tap into that, given its history in the business. "There's a guy who buys from us for Macy's. He listens to throwback music and he's listening to it on vinyl," Honiball relates, summing up some of the attributes of millennial tastes. "He believes the music sounds better with the hiss and crackle."
Honiball, who previously worked for Brooks Brothers and J.C. Penney, likens the fashion Haggar is introducing to the music of Mayer Hawthorne, whose neo-soul sound is straight out of the 1960s and '70s. "Now, a pants is a pant is a pant," he says. "But if it's great fitting, has performance attributes that an older and younger customer will like, it's the right fabric and vintage-inspired pattern, you'll get an older customer who says it reminds him of something he wore 30 years ago, and the younger customer will say it reminds him of something he saw in a vintage shop, except in a much better fabric."
The trend toward vintage has been manifest in such things as the popularity of the pork-pie hat and hats in general—which faded in the 1960s—and the success of brands like Old Spice. "Millenials like these nostalgic, authentic, real brands," Honiball says. "They like the things their grandfather liked."
Stitt says he wants to turn Haggar into a "lifestyle brand" with the introduction of new lines in coming seasons. This year it was shirts, made to be paired with Haggar's dominant Life Khaki casual pants. For next year, the company is producing a line of dress shirts and sweaters and testing the market in Canada with a line of footwear. Shoes are a natural for the company, considering that its part-owners in Asia produce 400 million pairs of shoes a year for major brands like Nike and New Balance—20 percent of the world's athletic and outdoor shoes.
While Stitt is involved in the style aspects of the business, so-called sourcing occupies a lot of his attention, too. The production of the clothing drives margins, and quality is something that Stitt says will make or break the brand. "We must provide better quality at the same price as our competitors, because customers are smart," he says. "They know if something wears and washes well or if its shrinks and pills."
Recently, the company has explored repatriating production to the United States. But Stitt says flatly that Haggar would lose money making clothing here. With so much of its production in Asia, the company has a director of Asian operations who lives there , as well as 15 associates who oversee quality control at its contracted production factories.
The death of more than 500 workers in a building collapse in Bangladesh in May—the deadliest garment-factory accident in history—prompted Haggar to re-audit its suppliers using third-party inspectors, Stitt says.
He says there is often so little local oversight in countries such as Bangladesh that Haggar pays to send its own engineers to assess the structural stability of its suppliers' factories. "I don't think it's the right approach to say I won't produce in Bangladesh anymore," he says. "I've been there seven or eight times, and it's a really depressing country. It's mind-boggling to me to see the degree of poverty. If you abandon [the workers, they turn to] terrible, terrible alternatives, like begging or prostitution. It's not like they go find an office job.
"We do everything we can do to make sure workers are protected at these factories, that they are paid properly, that overtime is appropriate, that they're 100 percent compliant with our standards and customers' standards," he says. "Hopefully we can improve their lives."
Travel to Asia and to Europe, where Stitt says the company has plans to expand, as well as to domestic destinations, puts him on the road as much as 40 percent of his workdays. He devotes his off-hours to his family—his wife Carla, whom he married in 2000, and two sons ages 11 and 8—and is highly disciplined in keeping fit. "I try to make exercise a priority," he says. "It can be 60 minutes, 75 minutes early in the morning or right after work before dinner with the family."
Stitt, who is indeed trim and healthy looking, says he was influenced by the book, Younger Next Year, published in 2004, which suggests exercising a minimum of six days a week can slow or reverse the aging process. He says he has constructed a small gym in the Preston Hollow house he is leasing while the family decides where they want to settle. He also still plays a bit of tennis.
The CEO says he finds Dallas appealing for the warmth and honesty of its people—"more warm and embracing than many in the Northeast," he says—and he'd like to make his stay here and at Haggar a long one. "Hopefully we'll continue along this path," he says. "If I ended up in Dallas for the next 10, 15 years or longer, I'd be very happy."

KDDI launches iida premium mobile brand in Japan
KDDI, Japan's second largest mobile carrier, launched a new premium brand in its home country.
Dubbed iida, the new brand currently has three phones in its line-up.
The first two are iida G9 (apparently manufactured by Sony Ericsson) and iida misora.
The G9 is a cool slider that measures 115 x 50 x 17.4 mm and features a 3-inch TFT touchscreen display with 480 x 854 pixels, an alphanumeric keypad and a 3.2 MP autofocus camera.
Here's what the G9 looks like:
And this is the misora clamshell:
The third iida handset is from a special collection created in collaboration with Yayoi Kusama, the Japanese artist famous for her dots obsession. The collection also includes accessories like a handbag and a phone dock that looks like a toy dog.
KDDI's new premium brand also offers a pico projector (which can be connected to the G9, as well as to other KDDI handsets) and a series of AC adapters – one of them being literally green.
For the moment, it looks like only the G9 phone is available for purchase. The first 3,000 units cost only ¥19,600 (about $195). After that, the phone will be priced at ¥39,600 ($393).

Dan Boyle tied the game with 1:56 remaining in regulation, but Nikita Kucherov scored at 3:33 of overtime to end a see-saw affair and give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-1 series lead against the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference Final.
* Kucherov (1-1—2) scored his third playoff game-winning goal and second in overtime. In the second round, he had the winner in each of the first two games at the Montreal Canadiens, including a goal at 2:06 of double-overtime in Game 1.
* Kucherov is the only player with multiple overtime goals in the 2015 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Martin St. Louis is the only other player in Lightning history with multiple overtime goals in one playoff year; he scored them when Tampa Bay won its only Stanley Cup in 2004 (Game 5 of EQF vs. the New York Islanders and Game 6 of Stanley Cup Final at the Calgary Flames).

Comments about 'America and the meaning of a Mormon president'
Would Romney's election signal an end to anti-Mormonism?
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
While asking Americans to rise above religious bias, as was done when Catholic John Kennedy was elected President, it is doubtful that Mormons in government offices will themselves honor separation of church and state. In Utah, alcohol laws are dictated by Mormon belief because the majority of legislators are Mormon and do everything they can to restrict alcohol sales. Proof: If the legislature was made up of mostly Catholics or Buddhists, would the alchohol laws be the same? No way. The law gets as close to Mormon doctrine as it can. Mormon politicians, for the most part, vote whatever will make their religious leaders happy. If you want to elect people who honor separation of church and state, you don't elect Mormons. It's their official doctrine that they will take over the U.S. and they have no qualms about passing laws guided only by their religious beliefs

But, I think Mitt does have a real shot this time. It would show that America has really made a lot of progress.

I don't know that there is a strong anti-mormon bias in this country, it's just that we don't tend to trust people who have beliefs that we don't understand, We also like to affiliate with people who have similar cultural backgrounds. You can see this in the overwhelming support among Republican Mormons for Mitt. I don't think they are anti-non-mormon, they just like someone like themselves.

A couple of thoughts. Trotting out black Mormons who support President Obama to add credibility to the argument of electing a Mormon president (who would have to defeat President Obama), takes a lot of gall by this newspaper. Will you stop at nothing? Second, if Mormons want mainstream acceptance, electing a Mormon Democrat as President would do more for that cause than electing someone like Romney who merely reinforces the stereotypes. Utah can't even elect a Democrat to the Senate and sends extreme conservatives to the Senate (when Hatch is too liberal for Utah, that's a perfect sign that Utah is out of the mainstream). Mormons want mainstream acceptance, yet they are firmly planted on the right extreme of of the political spectrum, based on their voting. Mormons as a whole don't even care much for Democrats in their midst. How will this ever lead to mainstream acceptance?

CNN is running a front page poll on their website asking if America is ready for a Mormon president. As of this posting, 59% say no. Since when does religion or ethnicity matter in the candidate? Are we Americans becoming more prejudiced as time goes on? Imagine if JFK were not elected because he was Catholic and not Protestant like the majority of the US at the time.

It takes almost a century to prepare a person for a time in history. With politics and the auto industry DNA in his blood, experience as a successful businessman, having advanced degrees in business and law from Harvard, being an articulate author and speaker, elected governor in one of the most liberal states in our nation, showing fidelity to his wife and family, serving our nation by saving the Olympics, serving honorably in many church callings including as a Stake President, Romney has been prepared for this time of economic crisis. We don't have time to raise up another with such credentials. Mormon or not, we can unite behind this most uniquely qualified canidate for President of the United States of America.

Ever think that Utah's Mormon legislators might vote through things the Mormons want NOT from pressure from the Church, but that those votes reflect the desires of their constituency - which is overwhelmingly LDS in the state?
Now I know SLC is not overwhelmingly LDS. But the state is. Somebody has a chip on their shoulder. Where's the salsa?

I understand that many have a hard time with LDS beliefs. But all religious
beliefs can seem strange and illogical to others in the same way. For example,
millions are just fine with a Catholic candidate who believes the wafer and wine
he takes on Sunday literally turns into the body and blood of Christ as he
consumes it. No discarded logic there. But a Mormon candidate who believes
Joseph Smith came up with new scripture from golden plates? No - that is just
asking us to bend logic way too much!
It is just so interesting how humans can become absolutely comfortable with their own religious beliefs regardless the mental gymnastics required while finding other's so strange and unacceptable. LDS obviously do the same thing.

"You'd be surprised," said Feldman, "by how many people pride
themselves on having no prejudices at all but preserve a little place in their
heart for this kind of soft anti-Mormon prejudice."
That is an interesting quote in the article. It probably comes as no surprise to many by how many mormons pride themselves on having no prejudice at all but perserve a little place in their heart for pro-mormon prejudice when it comes to election decisions.
I am active LDS, but I don't vote according to what church someone visits on Saturday or Sunday.

Cut the staff is what this country needs right now. When you have at least 5 departments doing the same job you are wasting money. If we cutt alot of these government jobs and make them go back into the real world we will need less tax money to pay the ev er increasing government payrole. We can then let companies get back to what they are supposed mto do, create jobs from the private sectore not pay more and moe taxes for the government to make jobs that only cause us to go farther into debt.

J-TX: insightful, astute comment.
liberal larry: have you ever lived outside the state of Utah? In central IL, they still have anti-Mormon presentations at many local evangelical churches. A Lutheran minister told one of my children, "All Mormons are going to hell." One of the high school teachers, made the comment, "Mormons are like Nazis." With many similar experiences, I can verify that anti-Mormon feelings are alive and well in Illinois.
What is interesting to me is that this primary provides not one, but two potential Mormon presidential candidates.

Being Mormon should not be a reason for voting against or for a candidate. Senator Smoot was a Mormon in high standing in the Church yet, if the economic historians are correct, the tariff bill he authored was unwise and the major cause of the Great Depression. However, being a Mormon should help assure that the candidate is honest, sincere and not willing to sell his soul for money. If Senator Smoot was indeed wrong, he certainly was not alone. Hopefully the nation learned from it. Senator Reid and Mitt Romney do not see eye to eye and how could that be expected of them. A good open-minded debate between them should be informative, however. The perception that the GOP stands for Gods Own Party is a mystery to me. A Mormon, by definition, means believing in the Book of Mormon and that Book, in my opinion, does not support that perception.

Soccer Battles Butler to Double Overtime Draw, 2-2
Oct. 10, 2003
Chicago, Ill.- The UIC men's soccer team experienced a first for the 2003 season, battling Horizon League rival Butler to a double overtime draw, 2-2, on a sunny Friday afternoon at Flames Field.
The Flames (6-4-1, 0-2-1 Horizon League) held an early 2-0 lead thanks to first period goals from senior Nate Day and freshman Eric Cervantes, but they could not hold on as the Bulldogs (5-5-3, 1-0-1 Horizon League) rallied for two unanswered goals in the second half that capped the scoring for the day.
Day started the scoring with a one-timer past Butler keeper Evan Feinhardt in the 2nd minute of the contest. Sophomore John DeVae assisted the goal with a crafty pass to Day.
Cervantes added another score later in the period off of a give-and-go with Tyler Cuba to beat Feinhardt in the 33rd minute.
Butler cut the lead in half with a goal in the 51st minute. Cory Edgington knocked in a Chance Ernst kick that rebounded off of UIC keeper Ross Cain. Three minutes later, John Mariscalco took a free kick and converted for the tying goal.
The Flames outshot the Bulldogs 24-16, including a 12-5 edge in the first period, but could not get anything else through the posts.
Cain played solid in his 110 minutes of goalkeeping, allowing only two goals and saving eight shots. Feinhardt recovered from the early miscues to finish with seven saves.
The match was physical throughout as each team was charged with 12 fouls and two cautions apiece.
The Flames return to Horizon League action on Thursday, October 16th for a battle with Wisconsin-Milwaukee at 3 p.m. in Milwaukee, Wis.

John Wristen, who prior to arriving at UCLA, spent seven seasons coaching at the University of Colorado, is in his second season as coach of the Bruin tight ends and special teams. He helped place kicker Justin Medlock enjoy a consensus All-America senior season in 2006 and finish his career ranked second on UCLA's all-time field goal list (70). In 2006, Medlock led the nation in field goals per game (2.15) and was tied for ninth in scoring (8.69). Punter Aaron Perez excelled under Wristen's guidance, averaging 42.56 yards to rank fourth in the Pac-10 and 22nd in the nation. Tight end Logan Paulsen also had a solid year, catching 27 balls for 331 yards.
Prior to joining the Bruin staff, Wristen spent seven seasons at the University of Colorado. During that time, the Buffaloes won four Big 12 North championships and the 2001 Big 12 title. The Buffaloes won the National Championship in 1990 when he was serving as a graduate assistant.
During the last five seasons, Wristen was responsible for coaching the tight ends and several of the Buffalo special teams, including the place kickers and the kickoff return and punt coverage units. In 2005, place kicker Mason Crosby earned All-America honors and tight end Joe Klopfenstein earned All-Big 12 acclaim. Klopfenstein (2nd round by the Rams) and fellow tight end Quinn Sypniewski (5th round by the Ravens) were each selected in the 2006 NFL Draft. In 2001, Daniel Graham (a first round pick of the Patriots in 2002) won the Mackey Award, presented annually to the nation's top tight end. Wristen also served as recruiting coordinator during his last two seasons (2004-05).
In his first two years (1999-2000) at Colorado, he coached running backs, as well as the kickoff return and punting units. He helped tutor Cortlen Johnson, who rushed for 1,657 yards in just 19 games.
Prior to coaching at Colorado, Wristen spent eight seasons (1991-98) on the coaching staff at Northwestern. He coached the running backs, including Darnell Autry, who finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1995 and seventh in 1996. He also coached the kickoff return and punting units. The Wildcats won Big Ten titles in 1995 and 1996 and played in the 1996 Rose Bowl.
Including his two seasons (1990-91) as a graduate assistant at Colorado, Wristen has been associated with nine teams that earned post-season bowl berths. Colorado won the 1991 Orange Bowl to earn the National Championship.
Wristen, 43, was a star quarterback at Southern Colorado, lettering four years (1980-83) and earning first-team NAIA All-America honors as a senior.
Upon his graduation in 1984, where he earned his bachelor's degree in physical education, he worked as a student teacher at his alma mater in 1984. He was a free agent in the Denver Broncos' training camp that summer. He got his start in coaching at Weslaco (Texas) High School in 1985, working as the offensive coordinator. He went back to school to earn his master's in special education, which he did from Adams State College (Alamosa, Colo.) in1987. While attending school at Adams State, he was the head coach at nearby Rocky Ford High School for two years (1986-87).
He then served as the offensive coordinator at Fort Lewis College in Durango for two years (1988-89), before joining the Colorado staff for the first time in 1990 as a graduate assistant. He assisted with the quarterbacks and fullbacks in CU's national championship season in 1990, and then with the running backs in1991. He was born in Denver, and graduated from Pueblo (Colo.) South High School, where he lettered in football, basketball and track.

Pre-Drilling Activities
USSSP management has changed. For more information on current opportunities in the new program, including pre-drilling activities, please visit: http://usoceandiscovery.org.
The U.S. Science Support Program sponsors Pre-Drilling Activities to provide funds in quick response to an opportunity to acquire data or information that will enhance a drilling expedition. Priority is given to projects that support expeditions already on the ship's schedule. The definition of this task is deliberately flexible to allow consideration of exceptional or unusual requests for drill site data enhancement. Some categories of Pre-Drilling Activities are:
- Use of ships of opportunity to collect site-specific data that will significantly enhance the scientific yield of a planned IODP expedition;
- U.S.-based scientist participation in non-U.S. shipboard programs that are in direct support of IODP drilling objectives;
- Mini-workshops or focused planning groups that bring together scientists to integrate site-specific or regional data into a mature drilling proposal;
- Non-routine downhole measurements or innovative experiments that increase the overall scientific return from an IODP expedition;
- Assembling data sets or reprocessing existing data sets (e.g., from site surveys) for sites in regions of interest to IODP.
Information for U.S.-affiliated researchers about how to submit a pre-drilling proposal, including proposal and reporting requirements. Learn More
Pre-drilling awards have supported expedition-related activities such as collecting site survey data, testing new technology, and participating in workshops and meetings. Learn More

By FEMI ABORISADE
Entertainment editor
Director Paul Feig, who directed the hilarious 2011 comedy "Bridesmaids," is not done bringing female-driven comedy to American audiences. "The Heat," his latest comedy starring Sandra Bullock and second-time collaborator Melissa McCarthy, places women into the buddy cop genre, a simple yet daring use of the trope that has somehow slipped past many executive's grasps.
In fact, excusing "Fargo," which portrays Frances McDormand in a major role as a Minnesota police chief, "The Heat" may have begun a new subgenre, and the film's consistent stream of jokes and intense situations makes it a great candidate.
Having Bullock and McCarthy at the helm also sweetens the deal. Bullock plays FBI Agent Sarah Ashburn, a book-smart officer of the law with many accolades but a cold personality that keeps her isolated. Taking up an unfinished case to win a promotion, she drives to Boston and begins working with McCarthy's character, Officer Shannon Mullins, who has half the smarts but more than enough brute force to compensate. Bullock basically fills the straight-laced role without any personal touches, but that is hardly needed since McCarthy fires on all cylinders, pulling off lengthy bits, physical comedy and subtle asides as if she has lived in that character's shoes for ages.
The film's early goings do suffer, though; Bullock has an interesting contempt for K-9 dogs that earns a few laughs, but other than that she seldom pushes her role, a detriment to both the role and her previously noted comedy chops. That plateau of "ugh, whatever," soon dissipates when McCarthy and Bullocks fight among themselves or against the baddies in "The Heat's" later scenes.
On a greater note, Feig's directing and writer Katie Dippold's script gracefully keeps these women naturally focused on their jobs while also giving the audience a taste of their personal lives. This matters most due to how shallow and wooden female characters usually end up portrayed in films, so much so that The Bechdel Test, a half-serious guideline that judges films based on how many scenes feature two women talking about a man offscreen, was created.
What makes "The Heat" so profound in that regard is that Bullock and McCarthy's character's are career-driven individuals who deal with men of ill repute on a daily basis and treat them as such. When they do talk about themselves, it still develops in a relatable fashion that works within the mindset of these characters, such as comments about Ashburn's know-it-all personality or Mullin's raunchy speech and not about who wears the best makeup. They do not cat-fight or pretend to befriend each other; they face off and state their feelings without an ounce of deceit, although hilariously.
"The Heat" does not have smart comedy and nor does it profess to, but it has two of Hollywood's most current stars – one an accomplished actress and the other a rapidly rising talent – tackling a well-worn formula and making it worthwhile.

"Boston reminds us of best and worst of humanity"
The purpose of terror is to terrorize. Though questions remain about those responsible for the attack, the horrendous bombing attack on the Boston Marathon sought to instill paralyzing fear, inflict debilitating trauma and force us to forfeit our freedom. We cannot let terror win.
We -- Americans and Israelis -- live in open societies that enable us to celebrate our freedom. Whether in arts festivals, sporting events, craft fairs or merely playing with our kids in the park, we are upholding those liberties in the face of those seeking to deny them.
At the same time, we know that our freedoms must be defended, sometimes by men and women in uniform but most poignantly by people refusing to succumb to fear. We beat terror by refusing to submit.
The people of Boston, who on the day of the bombing were celebrating liberty's birthday, will not submit. Our experience in Israel has taught us that communities and caregivers, police and security forces, elected leaders and volunteers can unite at such times and block the terrorists from achieving their objectives. While taking all possible measures to prevent further loss of life, we adamantly refuse to forfeit our way of life.
Anyone who has suffered the agony of terror knows the pain of the victims and their families as well as the radius of the emotional damage inflicted on countless citizens. We know that at such times, communities can band together and help bind the psychological and physical wounds. When first responders rush through the smoke, risking their own lives to assist the fallen, the healing process begins.
And the people of Boston will heal. Still, the democratic liberties that Americans and Israelis enjoy cannot be taken for granted. American security forces and policy-makers face complex challenges. We must appreciate their successes in thwarting many attacks. We will continue to embrace freedom, but we will remain vigilant and resolute.
This attack in Boston reminds us of both the worst and best in humanity. In an act of terror, those responsible destroyed and forever altered the lives of hundreds of people. But, stories of the heroic first responders, the athletes who ran to the hospital to donate blood and the countless other acts of selflessness remind us of the American spirit and its capacity to overcome terror and emerge stronger.
We comfort the bereaved, tend to the hurt and take all precautions. We remember the victims but, standing together, refuse to be victimized.

Athletes In Action Classic
Sunday, November 15, 2009 * Bank of America Arena * Seattle, Wash.
Game 5: Belmont vs. Wright State
Wright State Head Coach Brad Brownell
"I'm proud of our guys. I thought we played really well the majority of the last two games and played reasonably well against Washington. It's a great tournament because there's a lot of good teams here. All these teams will have winning seasons and do well. For us to come out and go 2-1, I'm really proud of our guys."
"We had to play three different kinds of teams. All the teams are aggressive offensively, so that helped us in some ways in terms of exploiting some defensive things we need to work on. Also, forcing us to score and to be an aggressive team offensively."
Belmont Head Coach Rick Byrd
"We didn't play as well as we did in the first two games, but I give Wright State a lot of credit for that. I did think that we didn't give up and because we're so young, I don't know what kind of heart we've got till we see it. I thought we played a good team that thoroughly outplayed us. I thought we never gave up and I thought we did a nice job of establishing an inside presence.
"We made a little run down the end and cut it to 15. I know that doesn't sound great, but when you're down 22 that actually is pretty good. Their No. 3 (Troy Tabler) made a couple big three's and sort of took the chance to win away. There was more immediacy down the final 10-15 minutes than there was in the first 25. Young guys have just got to learn that and then they've got to not forget it."

THE PARTY The Associate Board of the Harold E. Eisenberg Foundation hosted its fourth annual Eisenopoly event at Macy's on State Street to support the group's committment to gastrointestinal cancer research. THE SCENE A sold-out roster of 450 guests gathered in the Narcissus Room for a quick cocktail reception before the competition commenced. Held in Macy's signature Walnut Room, the main event was a fast-paced night of playing tournament-style Monopoly on the charity's customized boards. The night continued with a spread from one of Chicago's favorite Mexican joints, Uncle Julio's, a silent auction (we were caught by the Sports Fan's Dream package and a signed ball from sportscaster Dick Vitale) and desserts, including organic cotton candy (yes, you read that right) from Spun Cotton Candy. THE HIGHLIGHTS This year's Eisenopoly was the most successful one yet for the charity, raising more than $70,000. Photos by Donna Binbek Photography
