On Tuesday, members of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and other immigrant rights supporters held demonstrations at GOP headquarters in Bakersfield, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, and other cities to hold Republican members of Congress accountable for their failure to pass immigration reform this year. SEIU also launched a series of Spanish-language television ads as part of a multipronged campaign to mobilize Latino voters and take GOP lawmakers to task for blocking immigration reform.
The two-week television ad campaign, featuring the Spanish-language ad "Dichos" ("Proverbs" in English) will air in Colorado, California and Nevada, and is aimed at mobilizing the Latino electorate to hold Republican Congressmen Cory Gardner (CO-4 and current Colorado Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate), Mike Coffman (CO-6), David Valadao (CA-21) and Joe Heck (NV-3) accountable to their record for standing in the way of immigration reform. The ad will also run on national Spanish-language television networks.
"We are launching campaigns in states and districts where we believe the issue of immigration reform can make the difference and shift the political landscape," said Brandon Davis, SEIU's national political director. "This is the beginning of a long-term strategy to mobilize voters who stand with us on the need to fix our broken immigration system, and will take action to ensure that Republican obstruction comes at the cost of lost seats in November."
Tuesday's ad launch also includes a series of actions in key Republican congressional districts and headquarters. The sustained effort to hold the GOP accountable will include targeted field, civic, and media campaigns.
"The excuses, the blatant anti-immigrant rhetoric, and their unwillingness to vote for immigration reform have made it abundantly clear that Republicans are not interested in creating inroads or addressing the concerns of the Latino and immigrant community," said Rocio Saenz, executive vice president of SEIU. "Republicans cannot hide behind irrational pretexts or lawsuits — we're calling them out on the most important issue for the fastest-growing electorate in our country."
"Congressmen Coffman, Gardner, Valadao, and Heck are all part of a Republican Party that must face a large constituency of Latino voters and be held accountable to their party's consistent catering to anti-immigrant extremists," Saenz added. "And this is only the beginning. Today, we strike with ads and actions, but what's to come — from now until November — will ensure that Latino voters make an unprecedented presence at the ballot box and reject Republicans for blocking immigration reform and insulting our community."
All four TV ads, along with an English translation, can be viewed here.

Eye on the Election
For today's topic—likely changes to health care reform after the election—we turned to BLR legal editor Jessica Webb-Ayer, J.D., editor of the Benefits Compliance Advisor online newsletter and the benefits manual Benefits Compliance: Strategies for Plans, Programs & Policies.
Although health care reform (also known as the Affordable Care Act or ACA) overcame a large hurdle when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld its provisions this summer, it still remains a major issue in the upcoming November elections. How could the presidential candidates' positions and the national election results affect health care reform and therefore employers?
Compensation.BLR.com, now thoroughly revamped with easier navigation and more complete compensation information, will tell you what's being paid right in your state—or even metropolitan area—for hundreds of jobs. Try it at no cost and get a complimentary special report. Read more.
The Candidates' Positions
President Barack Obama's position is pretty easy to figure out—he stands by the ACA that he signed into law on March 23, 2010. In fact, his campaign website states that:
Obamacare is making health care work better for all of us, even if you already have insurance. It puts the health of your family first—ensuring access to free preventive care and protecting consumers from insurance company abuses.
Mitt Romney has embraced a "repeal and replace" strategy, although he has indicated that he would keep some of the more popular ACA provisions in some form. His campaign website provides the following details about his plan:
On his first day in office, Mitt Romney will issue an executive order that paves the way for the federal government to issue Obamacare waivers to all fifty states. He will then work with Congress to repeal the full legislation as quickly as possible.
In place of Obamacare, Mitt will pursue policies that give each state the power to craft a health care reform plan that is best for its own citizens. The federal government's role will be to help markets work by creating a level playing field for competition.
Election Outcome Scenarios
Although a lot of the media focus has been on what the presidential candidates' plans are for health care reform, the makeup of the U.S. Congress is also vital to what happens with the law. So let's take a look at several different scenarios and what they might mean for the ACA.
If Obama Wins
If Obama wins, the status quo will most likely prevail. His administration would continue to implement the ACA and may even become more aggressive in carrying out the law's provisions. Many election commentators think that the administration will quickly issue more regulations implementing the law and that the insurance exchanges will also move forward, with the federal government setting up exchanges in states that decide not to establish one themselves.
If Romney Wins
A Romney win doesn't necessarily mean that the ACA is gone. For one thing, as discussed above, he has indicated that he wouldn't get rid of all of the law's provisions. However, there could be delays in implementing the law, and depending upon the makeup of Congress, there could be a lot of gridlock in Washington.
Romney, a Democratic Senate, and a Republican House. If the election swings this way, it would be difficult to get rid of the ACA through legislation because although the House would most likely continue to pass legislation repealing the law, it wouldn't get past the Senate.
However, Romney would have an advantage because he would control the agencies that issue the regulations. His administration could write new regulations and/or delay or stop regulations that are set to come out. Also, many analysts predict that a Romney administration would approach the health insurance exchanges in very different ways.
Romney, a Republican Senate, and a Republican House. In this situation, Romney could accomplish his campaign goal and repeal or modify a lot of the ACA. However, although Republicans would probably definitely try to get rid of unpopular provisions such as the individual mandate, they might attempt to leave certain popular consumer protection provisions in place. Additionally, the administration and Congress would probably make a lot of changes to the exchange guidelines.
Takeaways for Now
Although we don't know what results the election will bring, the benefits world will continue to be affected by health care reform. Employers must remain in compliance with the provisions already in place and continue to strategically plan for and implement the provisions set to go into effect in the future. They must also be ready and watching for new health care insurance reform-related regulations and guidance.

2-1 and 11 month+ support
Thanks kero! I know you have tried to help us before! At least we are not alone.
Crazy thing is he slept an hour this morning without crying. Maybe he just needed caught back up on sleep?! I'm sure this afternoon we will have to CIO.
I just noticed most of us have boys on this thread again. lol What is with our little boys and sleep? lol Most of the girls in our baby group are angel sleepers and long nappers + ONS. Also my best friends who have girls have really good sleepers. The next baby I have I hope is a girl and easier with sleep and temperment than this one. I love him to death, but he is a so-so sleeper.. and sooooo active and running around. He never sits still.
She's been up now 6.5 hrs!!! I don't even know what to do I'm going to leave her another 10 mins but I don't know if she will go to sleep. If she doesn't should I try nap around 3? Or just do ebt? Has this ever happened to any of you? She's never done this
So which is better, a longer nap with a nap extension or a shorter nap without one? Lo slept 1 hr 5 min on her own (usually wakes at 40 min mark) then was smiling and talking to me while I tried to nurse her back to sleep. I'm excited that she didn't need the extension but we had been getting at least 90 min total naps so 65 is a bit disappointing.
Sorry you guys are having trouble too! So my son ended up sleeping from about 9:20ish to 10:20 (not sure on exact wake up) and I put him down for a nap at 1:30 (he just can't seem to tolerate longer waketimes yet) as he was getting fussy and sleepy looking. He is still awake and it is 2:11. I don't know if he is really "mucking". He seems really tired and almost slept at one point, but as the time goes on, he gets a little more fussy. He hasn't had the full on cry yet though. I see him yawning on the monitor. What gives?! Did I wait too long, or not long enough? I really don't think it would have been better to wait until 2:00, but I don't know anymore. I'm just thrilled that he isn't screaming right now, but if he doesn't nap what do I do?
Easton, my lo has been in his crib since 151, not sleeping either. Not screaming yet but not mucking either... Whining every so often.... And i know hes tired since he only slept 15 since 6 this morn. Wt????
P.s. I sent u a message back
Thanks for the help Peaches. Seems like we are in similar situations. He is still awake and he's been in since 1:30! I'm glad we got a morning nap, but we may have to walk or something for this PM nap. I do have to admit that he has never had a good afternoon nap in his crib since we have transitioned to two naps. I truly don't get it. I'm probably doing something wrong but not sure how to fix it.
So do you think, if he doesn't sleep now, that I keep him up until bedtime, or either do a small car or stroller nap? We are almost to the hour mark and he's only whining a little here and there. So strange.!
Thanks for your help
haha, I am too! He will fall asleep for a minute then wake up crying so now it's like he's OT? The crying definitely is getting stronger. :(
I still may do a quick stroller nap, but that may not be a good choice...


text: Feb 5, 2014 15:51 Former LSU fullback Shawn Jordan fighting in UFC event Former LSU fullback Shawn Jordan fighting in UFC event Johnson vs. Dodson in a UFC flyweight championship bout. Matt RamsaySpecial to theadvocate.com Jan. 25, 2013; 5:57 p.m. Comments For the second Saturday night in a row, this Jan. 26, The Ultimate Fighting Championship will host another free card live from the Windy City on network cable television. Some of the best fights of the year will be live and free, so don't miss out. Once again, former Louisiana State University fullback Shawn Jordan will be fighting in the heavyweight division. Jordan will be facing a Top 10 heavyweight and looks to improve his record to 2-1 in the UFC. This is also a chance to see Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Anthony "Showtime" Pettis, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone and Clay "The Carpenter" Guida. All details are listed below for viewing. Main Card: Live on Fox Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson vs. John "The Magician" Dodson Demetrious Johnson - Madisonville, Ken., 5-3, 125 pounds, 16-2-1 (Current flyweight champion)John Dodson - Albuquerque, N.M., 5-3, 125 pounds, 15-5-0 (The Ultimate Fighter 14 winner) The title will be on the line in the main event as two of the fastest men in MMA will go at it for a five-round matchup for the flyweight championship belt. Demetrious Johnson in his last fight became the first-ever flyweight champion and will be the first flyweight to headline a UFC event. John Dodson is not impressed as he won "The Ultimate Fighter" season 14 in dominant fashion by knocking out three of the four opponents he faced. This will be the pinnacle of his career if he could cap it off by winning the championship belt. Do not head out early on this fight because this will be just as explosive in the final round as it will be in the first. If you like speed, stamina and explosiveness, this will be a sure-fire fit. Johnson by Split Decision Quinton "Rampage" Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira Rampage Jackson - Memphis, Tenn., 6-1, 205 pounds, 32-9-0Glover Teixeira - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 6-2, 205 pounds, 19-2-0 Glover Teixeira is already a Top 10 light heavyweight and with a dominant performance, he might make a serious case to be next in line to face the winner of Jon Jones/Chael Sonnen championship fight. Teixeira has flown under the radar and looks to take that next step when he faces former heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in the co-main event. Daniel Cormier is rumored to be the next in line for the light heavyweight belt, but Teixeira has been on a wrecking path. Teixeira has won his two fights in the UFC by TKO, landing a total of 100 strikes to his opponents 15. Teixeira is now what Quinton Jackson used to be, a young hungry beast that destroyed anything in his way. If Jackson wins this, he will prove he's back in fighting form. If not, Teixeira could send him into retirement. This kid is that good. Teixeira by TKO (Strikes) Anthony "Showtime" Pettis vs. Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone Anthony Pettis - Milwaukee, Wis., 5-10, 155 pounds, 13-2-0Donald Cerrone - Denver, Colo., 6-0, 155 pounds, 19-4-0 This is the best matchup of the year. Period. That's bold of me to say, but it's the truth. If Anthony Pettis wins Saturday night, then the best matchup will be with Pettis and current lightweight champion Benson Henderson. It will be a steal to see this fight for free as two of the toughest and most electrifying lightweights will have a melee Saturday night. If you haven't seen "the kick" by Anthony Pettis, stop what you are doing and look up the most exciting highlight reel kick since the last time Bruce Lee was on screen.

RICS and chairman of Irish Auctioneers and Valuers Institute. Obviously not potential of bias towards high house prices there then. It would be interesting to know if theres a BTL as a pension plan.
Just reinforces the often made point about the importance of doing your own research.
I had another look at the data on the DCLG, Nationwide, Halifax and UU house price indicies and put together some comparative charts by rebasing them all to Q1 2005.
In the 1st chart it can be seen that on the way up to the peak, the 4 indicies were very consistent, but obviously much less so on the way down. I think it's safe to say that is due to the smaller sample sizes and volumes which resulted in the big swings in the data sometimes seen in the surveys from one quarter to another. Also noticeable is that the DCLG index tends to lag the others by about one quarter, reflecting the different point in the house sale process at which it takes its data. The Composite HPI also shown is just the simple average of the 4 indicies at each data point.
In the 2nd chart the DCLG data has been shifted back one quarter to better reflect its time relationship to the other surveys (a value for Q1 2011 is estimated based on the average change in the other indicies). Now there is quite a remarkable consistency on the way up to the peak. The Halifax index was looking quite good up to Q3 2009 and it can be shown mathematically that is was in fact following the composite with least deviation up to that point. After that however the data becomes eratic with big swings in movement not seen in the other indicies. As it happens, on 16th Oct 2009 Lloyds Bank announced that it was selling its Halifax Estate Agency Business to Reed Rains for £1.
In the 3rd chart the Halifax data has been excluded from the point at which it seems to have become unreliable at q3 2009. The Composite HPI now shows a very smooth transition in trend across the time period and the indicies have converged again over recent quarters.
The 4th chart shows the annual rate of change in the Composite HPI data used in the 3rd chart. From this, it could be argued that house prices are curently falling at a greater rate of annual change than at any time since the rally point reached in prices in Q3 2009. If the UU index shows another reduction in Q2 2011 (as the current trend might suggest) then this would have a further negative impact on the annual rate of falls as the UU was suggesting prices were rising over the same period in 2010.
But as ever, time will tell whether that turns out to be the case.
What has surprised me most is the remarkable consistency in price movements shown by the 4 indicies up to the point when sample sizes started to fall signficantly in q3 2007. I know the reports get criticised but this is often more about how the data has been interpreted or what spin is applied in the narrative. Perhaps also worth noting is the fact that the UU index ended up having the least measured deviation from the Composite HPI over the complete time period covered.

Village People
It was the place for swingin singles in the '70s. And thanks to a multi-million-dollar facelift, the notorious Village apartments are cool again. Beautiful people are moving back. Let the party begin.
They say that a Dallas business owner got arrested for skinny-dipping in the pool. And that a certain blonde writer used to flip a coin to decide at which guy's apartment she would be spending the night.
It's almost certainly true that a balding media personality really shocked his friends by getting rid of his mattress-on-the-floor living-room seating arrangement, opting for a real sofa.
Occasionally, a place becomes so identified with a time that the two meld into lifestyle legend "New York's Chelsea Hotel in the '60s, for instance. It doesn't happen very often in Dallas, but when you mention The Village apartments to Dallasites of a certain age, they get a gleam in their eye as they fondly remember a time they don't dare talk about in front of the children.
"I remember The Village ran an ad in Playboy magazine of the back side of a girl wearing only jeans with patches of all the communities in The Village at that time Gate, Hill, Corners, Corners East, Glen, and Bluffs," says Sharkey Clark, who moved into The Village in 1972.
Carol Winfrey, who lived in The Village for 15 years during the 70s, remembers its lifestyle advantage, especially the nightly party scene at the Country Club, a small clubhouse located on the property surrounded by swimming pools that became a rocking central hub: "Living in The Village was great because I could walk or crawl home from the club after a night of winding down from a hard day's work."
"Nothing at The Village was ever tame. Sometimes parties at the clubhouse were kicked off by a skydiver parachuting into the area. Sometimes they hit the target and sometimes not. I remember having to call the fire department to rescue one of them from a rooftop at The Hill."
The Village lost its coolness in the late '80s, eclipsed by the loft lifestyle revolution. But occupancy rates remained high and its good location only improved - the neighboring M Streets are now thoroughly gentrified, Old Town is a stronger retail center, the rundown block of seedy clubs on Lovers Lane has been replaced by Central Market, NorthPark Center is expanding, and Mockingbird Station is bustling.
Inevitably, The Village is hip again. Savvy and surprisingly practical - young people, disenchanted with the small spaces, high rents, density, and an overall absence of mellowness they find downtown and Uptown, are being lured back to The Village green.
On the landlord's side, Lincoln Properties is undertaking a massive, multimillion dollar redesign of The Village intended to make the community competitively cool.
Modern Maturity
Not long after it was built in 1969, The Village became the center of the swinging singles lifestyle in Dallas. Baby boomers were graduating from college, starting "real" jobs, and living for the first time unbound by school rules and parental strictures.
Before 9/11, before AIDS, before the economic bubble burst, before the Sunbelt lost its shine, before every indulgence came with a 12-step program, Village life was carefree, bouncing irrepressibly between the nine-hole golf course, a huge swimming pool, and a clubhouse that seemed to party nonstop. For those who deemed it necessary to venture out, it was usually to watering holes on upper Greenville Avenue.
These days, life at The Village is different. Although Village residents are older on average than they used to be - mostly between the ages of 26 and 35 - the majority of them are on the backside of the bell curve, a long way from middle age. Young people seem older than they used to. Much of the infamous country club is now given over to a huge fitness center where tenants attend a wine tasting or use the tanning booths. Life in The Village is much more about reducing stress and making friends than seeking thrills.
Young Villagers are looking for security and some serenity, which now seem more elusive than adventure. Eric Nadel drove a yellow Dodge Dart when he lived at The Village; today the parking lot is filled with hulking silver and black SUVs.
"The world's more grim," says Scott Camp, who works in finance for GE and has lived in The Village since 2001. "It's not like it was in the '70s. You can get arrested now for doing very little. It's a zero-tolerance world."
The Village is home to a second generation now, and they are creating their own memories. Jeff Luna remembers attending his father's company picnic at The Village when he was a child. After college he moved into the complex himself. Meghan Richardson's father lived in The Village before she was born, and then later, after they moved into a house, she remembers driving with her family to look at the Christmas lights that line The Village buildings and streets. It was no surprise that when Meghan got her first job, she also moved into The Village. "You feel like you're not in the city. You feel safer here," she says.
Old aerial photos of The Village show clusters of buildings interspersed with swimming pools. Tiny green spots indicate baby trees. Thirty years later, the green dots have grown into lush greenery. And The Village has grown up, too.
The Village is made up of around 7,144 apartments in 14 different complexes in an area bounded by Northwest Highway, Lovers Lane, Greenville Avenue, and Skillman. Its sheer size can be a problem for visitors: "Just finding her apartment was always a challenge," says restaurant owner Shannon Wynne, whose ex-wife lived in The Village when they were dating. But The Village location is a developer's dream and a tenant's delight.
Jeff Luna points out, succinctly, "It's close to the bars."
"I didn't move here for the beautiful girls,"Sam McKinzie. "I needed DART light rail to go downtown to work."
McKinzie is legally blind and The Village's incomparable location makes his life easier. "There are lots of places I can walk to and not have to worry about bad sidewalks. It's unusual in Dallas to find a place designed for pedestrians, but I know every inch of it in every direction. I can walk to Central Market and Tom Thumb. I can walk up to Greenville Avenue."
Eva Parks, an NBC news bureau coordinator, is 26 years old and has lived in The Village since 2002. She tried life in New York for a month. "I lived in a place the size of my living room. It would have cost me $1,800 a month. And it smelled."
"Every time my lease comes up, I go looking for another place," she says. "Then I come back to The Village and say, 'I love where I live.' I have 800 square feet and two balconies for $785 a month. Here, I live five minutes from everything."

In its '70s heyday, The Village was party city as middle-class twentysomethings celebrated their first financial independence with a bang. And, often, a bong.

"I moved into The Village on July 4, 1976," recalls Eric Nadel. At the time, Nadel had just taken a job with the Dallas Black Hawks; this year, he celebrated his 27th year as the voice of the Texas Rangers. He lived in the Bluffs at The Village for three years.
"I was single and it didn't seem to make any sense to live anywhere else," says Nadel now, who gets a little wistful remembering his second-story, one-bedroom apartment overlooking Don Carter's All-Star Lanes. "I still gaze at it when I drive by on Northwest Highway and remember all the great times back in the life of no responsibility."
"Parts of The Village party on," says Parks. "They are just like open houses - people you don't know wave you in and offer you a drink."
In the '70s, flight attendants were still stewardesses and promiscuity was known as free love. Zero tolerance was not a concept, and responsibility was something that happened in the future. Commitment was not yet the ultimate relationship virtue if you were young, and Tom Thumb at Old Town was known as the meet market. John Hall remembers the first time he went there, thinking he was just going to pick up a quart of milk.
"I had on my flip-flops. Everyone else was dressed to kill," he says, still sounding surprised. "Full makeup, the works. It's the only time I've ever felt underdressed at a grocery store." Hall got his milk, but that's all.
But the center of life in The Village was - and still is - the pool.
"What I remember most is the pool. Everyone was young and single and having fun," recalls Nadel. "There were times that I met someone new at the pool on a Saturday and then took her to the Rangers game that night."
"Definitely, the best part is the pool situation," says Parks.
There are 32 swimming pools in The Village, at least one in every community, plus the giant, fountain-spewing pool at the country club. These backyard pools are the social centers of The Village world.
"Everyone brings coolers and just hangs out," says Parks. She lives in Northbridge, which some say has the best pool in Dallas - three cascading tiers, in-pool seating, and an ambiance for every mood. "There's a wild and crazy pool where the keg parties are and there's a pool that's sort of laid-back and quieter. But every time I go to the pool, I make a new friend."
New Suburbanism
The original Village was recognized by the American Institute of Architecture and other development groups as a highly successful new model. It set a new standard for apartment living - made it more desirable, seem less transitional. The Village includes three voting precincts, has a population of 10,000, and employs 200 people. This huge pre-made community has its own landscape company, its own apartment locater service, its own maintenance service, its own private patrol company.
"The Village is run like a small city," says LPC Senior Vice President Scott Wilder.
There were - and are - miles of jogging trails through The Village, lots of grass, playing fields, scheduled activities and special events like Fight Nights and poker tournaments at the country club, bands playing around the pool, and softball and flag football leagues organized by management. The Village was designed with the idea that being home should be fun.
That trend still prevails, but most new developments adopt the philosophy of New Urbanism: in mixed-use developments like the faux urban West Village, luxury apartments are located over a bustling street scene. The buildings are all new, but they give the illusion of a mature downtown; the feeling is that vertical and density are virtues. There is no real green space. Life is happening all at once and in one place - work and play, leisure and commerce are all piled on top of each another.
|The Village's 32 swimming pools are the social centers of the community's world.
Topo means topography, something that is seldom included in dense New Urban plans. "You can't add that in later on," says architect Larry Good of Good Fulton & Farrell Architects, the firm that is working on the master plan for the new Village.
Nadel remembers running around the golf course every day, wearing a path through the grass to avoid a certain fiercely territorial mockingbird. Even now that the golf course is gone, the jogging trail winds by water and grass. From his second-floor apartment, Scott Camp enjoys a view of rolling green hills instead of rooftops to the horizon like his old apartment in Valley Ranch.
The topo will remain intact, but The Village buildings are being updated - or to use developer-speak, "life-cycled." Go ahead - use every age-defying plastic surgery metaphor you can come up with, they all apply. The buildings are being botoxed, brow-lifted, liposuctioned, face-lifted. Drawings show a projected town center, with shops and restaurants, maybe even a high-rise with a view. Good calls it The Village on steroids. The new buildings will fit in with the surrounding neighborhoods by incorporating elements of Prairie-style architecture - pitched roofs, bay windows, pillars, porches, and beams.
The interiors are changing with the times, too: kitchen cabinets in Village apartments were originally dark brown wood to go with the era's earth tone aesthetic; in the '80s they morphed to Euro-style white paint. As part of The Village's current remodeling, dark carpet is giving way to tile and bamboo floors; crown moldings and signature colored paint embellishes outdated modernity. Retro-chic two-inch wood blinds are replacing minis, and white appliances are being replaced by black.
In the pre-Pottery Barn '70s, no one was nesting. For one thing, most stores required more than a major credit card and a driver's license to open a charge account. In that between-time - after leaving one family and before starting their own - most young people made homes with hand-me-downs and ingenuity. Cinder blocks and boards were stacked up to make bookcases. Mattresses and beanbags served as couches and chairs. Those amazingly giant stereo speakers did duty as tables. An enormous ashtray was a necessary accessory and both carpet and haircuts were shag.
LPC, owner of The Village, owned a furniture rental company just for tenants of The Village during the '80s. "You could choose from three price tiers," says Wilder who, like many Lincoln executives, has lived off and on in The Village himself. Nadel's rented decor included a blue-and-tan plaid sofa to go with the apartment's chocolate-brown carpet.
Contrast that with the intentional individual style of Eva Parks' current apartment - a black sofa, bright red sculptural chair from Eurway, and a wall of professionally framed autographs from favorite bands collected during one dedicated summer. EXTREME MAKEOVER Over the next five years the Village apartment community will get a makeover, including: - Tile and bamboo floors - Retro-chic 2 inch wood blinds - All black appliances - Gabled roofs, bay windows, pillars - Future town center with shops and restaurants - Future high-rise apartment building with view of downtown
"In 10 years, we'll have an all-new Village," Larry Good says. He's looking at fantasy perspective drawings of gabled buildings and grassy courtyards.
Over the next five years the Village apartment community will get a makeover, including:
- Tile and bamboo floors
- Retro-chic 2 inch wood blinds
- All black appliances
- Gabled roofs, bay windows, pillars
- Future town center with shops and restaurants
- Future high-rise apartment building with view of downtown
In some senses, The Village is always new - the people come and go.
At 3:45 p.m. on July 4, 2005, the thermometer reads 101 degrees and the humidity is 90 percent, but on the St. Augustine field next to The Village clubhouse, a group of twentysomethings are throwing an old ball around. You can see the sweat from the street. Sarong-wrapped in bright beach towels, Koozies in hand, the natives stream in and out of the clubhouse; a plugged-in band is blaring next to the fountain-spewing pool, which is packed with firm tanned bodies.
They are heedless enough of heatstroke and sunburn to be high school kids, but this is Dallas latest hip white-collar workforce celebrating Independence Day. During their first years of working and living on their own, they live in the heart of Dallas on the development that was dedicated to their demographic 30 years ago.

» Kyanite Gemstones
Kyanite Gemstones
Kyanite Beads, Cabochons and Faceted Stones
Deep Blue Kyanite Cabochon - 8x10 mm
Deep Blue Faceted Kyanite - 5x7 mm
is a silicate mineral that is most often used to make porcelain and refractory products. However, when transparent or nicely colored kyanite can also be cut into beautiful gemstones.
Kyanite is a gemstone that you will rarely encounter in the typical jewelry store. Most people have not heard of kyanite as it is infrequently used in jewelry. It is an "exotic" gem. Perhaps that is what makes it so interesting?
If you are interested in kyanite as a gemstone or in jewelry, the best place to find it is in artisan jewelry stores or in jewelry stores that are associated with a mineral dealer. The people who own these businesses are likely to be interested in kyanite and incorporate it into their product line.
High quality and nicely colored kyanite can be cut into attractive and desirable cabochons and faceted stones. These are often used in rings, earrings, pendants and other jewelry. Kyanite is also used to make beads. These beads often have a flat geometry because the mineral typically occurs in thin blades.
Kyanite Gemstones are Challenging to Cut
Kyanite is a challenging mineral to cut because it has two distinctly different hardnesses. Kyanite crystals are typically long, narrow blades. They have a hardness of about 4.5 parallel to their length but a hardness of 6.5 to 7.0 across the width of the blade. Skilled cutters are needed to work these stones.
A colorful collection of kyanite cabochons. These kyanite cabochons range in color from clear to a very deep blue. Some kyanites can be variegated in color such as the blue-green stone in the top row of this image. The deep blue stone in the center is 8x10 millimeters in size.
Blue Kyanite - Green Kyanite
Most gemstone-quality kyanite is blue in color. However, kyanite can be clear, green, black and rarely purple. Some kyanite gemstones are pleochroic (appear to be different colors when viewed from different directions).
Blue kyanite stones can be found in a continuous color range between clear and dark blue. The most popular kyanite gemstones are transparent with a deep sapphire blue color. Two of these deep blue stones are shown in the images at the top right of this article. Transparent blue kyanite with a lower color intensity might look like blue topaz or blue aquamarine.

According to an August 16 article on the AOL News website; a 16 year old boy had his final request for his vital organs to be donated denied. AJ Betts of Iowa signed up to be a donor a few months before committing suicide. His request was denied because he was openly gay. The FDA currently defines blood or tissue taken from an openly gay male as high risk.
According to the FDA; the rule does not apply solely to gay men. The rule also applies to intravenous users. The policy has been in effect since 1993. According to the Center for Disease Control; the only group with an increase in HIV cases was bisexual and gay black men. According to CDC data; blacks accounted for almost half (44%) of the newly reported HIV cases between 2006 & 2009.
The Bible addresses this complex issue with a number of scripture focused on healing. The book of John (14:12) speaks of the greater works that will be done by His (Christ's) followers. Perhaps the most fitting scripture can be found in the book of James (4:17). It says that knowing to do good and not doing it is sinful. Would we have been outraged if AJ did not donate his organs? Given the fact that HIV continues to grow, and that some still do not divulge their lifestyle; is the FDA policy applicable to today?
100 people were asked about organ donations. All 100 stated that they would accept an organ donation if they needed one. When asked if they would feel different if the donor was gay; 19% said that they would not accept the donation. Almost all of those polled (98) felt that the FDA rules needed to be updated.
Because some still remain secretive about their sexual identity; you never really know who you are dealing with. You do not request the Christian pizza delivery guy; nor do you ask for the heterosexual EMT when dialing 911. Is the FDA policy in need of an upgrade?

Every March 8, countries around the world hold thousands of events in celebration of past, present and future achievements of women. This year, Girl Scouts of Utah is celebrating both International Women's Day and the Girl Scouts of America's 100th anniversary with an event following their 2012 theme: the Year of the Girl, focusing on closing gaps in education, leadership, health and wellness and encouraging girls to reach their full potentials.
The event raises funds for the Girl Scouts of Utah, with a special focus this year on their STEM program, which aims to introduce science, technology, engineering and math as a part of a girl scout's everyday life.
"We have a common interest in seeing these girls become women," says Erin Stone, event chairperson. "They are the future."
International Women's Day
The International Women's Day event will be held at The Complex (536 W. 100 South, SLC, just west of The Gateway) on March 8 from 6 to 9 p.m.
Silent auctions will be held, including items valued at $100 or more. Hors d'oeuvres, wine and beverages and a signature Girl Scout dessert will be served. Click here for more event information and online registration.
Mary Nickles of KUTV 2 is this year's honored guest, and a local girl scout will give a speech on the importance of girl scouting.
Tickets are $100 per person or $1,000 per table of ten. Options for table sponsors are also available. For ticket information or to purchase tickets, click here.
"It is a great opportunity to support a great cause and hear one of the girls speak about her experiences and the opportunities that Girl Scouts provides her," Stone says.
So, now you have a really great excuse to get fancied up in your cocktail attire and support the empowerment of women.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lamakeupartist LOVE IT I PURCHASED THIS PIECE FOR MY MAKEUP STUDIO AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. THE STORE I WENT TO HAD ONLY 1 AND IT WAS THE FLOOR MODEL WHICH I WAS HAPPY TO BUY SINCE IT HAD NO APPARENT DAMAGE. I'M A HAPPY CAMPER ; ) January 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verdiccio Smart and Cute Size is on the small side which is perfect in our small living room. We had it delivered as there are no World Markets here on Long Island, NY. In perfect condition when delivered. Color is a beautiful blue. December 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by nwwonder Just right I am very happy with this purchase. The fabric has the feel of velvet but is easy to clean. The cushion is so soft and comfy. It is just the right size for two people. It fits perfectly in my bedroom at the end of my bed and has changed the way I use my room. My kids love to cuddle with me on this couch and it is great for relaxing. At first, I couldn't find the legs but they were hidden in a zip open compartment under the couch. Easy to attach. Similar couches are much more expensive elsewhere. The color is lovely--still neutral but bright. May 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by queent9 very pretty, sturdy pieces I purchased the Caribbean blue chair and ottoman. Love these! Easy assembly, beautiful fabric. They are comfortable to sit on. I'm very pleased with these 2 pieces. January 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MSandoz LOVE I absolutely love this little loveseat. It's small, so we use it as an accent piece in our big living room. It's adorable. We bought the light blue one and it's such a pretty color. It's comfortable for the amount of time we spend sitting on it. Our cats seem to love it just as much as we do. :) It seems to be made well and had no problems assembling the legs. Overall, I'm thrilled with my purchase. January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Seotinez Just right I was looking for an alternative to the small home/living room we have. We have an oversized couch but needed additional seating for guests when they came over to visit. This item is cozy but just perfect for our small home. It meets our expectation of having something classic, elegant with a lot of style but doesn't take up a lot of space. Enough to seat two (Cozy) but really comfortable for one. We've received a lot of compliments on this with all our guest who have come over to visit. They do comment on how comfortable it is. My husband even likes it. October 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SongGirl Great look. Great quality for the price. I got this love seat a year and a half ago for my vacation rental and am so pleased with it. I love the look, the fabric and the over all whimsical feel. It easily fits 2 people and looks great with pretty much any accent pillow. If it was offered in another color I'd get 2 more. September 3, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by kimbo1 Great fit for a small space : D Bought the loveseat and chair in blue for a porch that was converted into an office/extra space/guest room. Love the way we can move about this small space unhindered by bulky furniture! It is comfortable, although not as plush as a more expensive piece, but well worth the price (I got 25% off!). The trim on the sides looks trendy and the design was just what I was looking for. I will be shopping for a throw to set it off some more. This furniture will be easy to shift out of the way in order to blow up our raised airbed for guests, and still be functional. November 1, 2014

The Triforce Of Lookin' Fresh: Zelda Crest Head Shave
This is a picture of some brobro who got Zelda's crest shaved into the back of his head. It's not me, I swear -- my ears aren't pierced and I don't wear a gold chain. I do have that Last Supper print and a straw hat, but the similarities stop there. Besides, I'm not into the whole head-shaving scene, I'm more into wearing a hat. "You mean a MINISH CAP?" Ahahahahahahhahaha! F***, you're even a bigger dork than I am.

DEKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois University softball team resumes Mid-American Conference play this weekend when it travels to the state of Ohio to face Akron in doubleheader action Friday and Ohio Saturday and Sunday.
The first game of Friday doubleheader with the Zips begins at 12 p.m. Central Time with game Two to immediately follow. Saturday's game with Ohio starts at 1 p.m., while Sunday contest with the Bobcats is set to start at 12 p.m. Fans can follow all the action of the Huskies and Bobcats live via Gametracker at NIUHuskies.com.
Northern Illinois (12-21, 2-2) head into this weekend looking to improve off its performance against DePaul Tuesday afternoon. While the Huskies fell, 4-2, in nine innings, they played solid defense and received solid pitching performances. Each time DePaul took the lead, NIU answered, forcing the game in extra innings. The Huskies will look to carry that performance into their games this weekend.
Pitchers Monica Segura (Santa Ana, Calif./Segerstrom Fundamental) and Morgan Bittner (Long Beach, Calif./Long Beach Poly) combined to allow four runs on seven hits in nine innings. The two were aided by some outstanding plays in the field by the NIU defense to keep the Huskies in the game.
"We're just hoping to play the same way we did against DePaul," NIU head coach Lindsay Chouinard said. "You want to keep giving your best hitters opportunities and that's what we did [against DePaul] and hopefully that will continue this weekend."
NIU currently sits fourth in the MAC West, but is one of three teams with a .500 record in conference play. Akron and Ohio have identical 1-1 conference marks, however the Zips sit third in the MAC East by virtue of their 11-13 overall record, while the Bobcats are sixth in the division with 6-21 mark this season.

This concise introduction to social and cultural anthropology has become a modern classic, revealing the rich global variation in social life and culture. The text provides a clear overview of anthropology, focusing on central topics such as kinship, ethnicity, ritual and political systems, offering a wealth of examples that demonstrate the enormous scope of anthropology and the importance of a comparative perspective. Unlike other texts on the subject, Small Places, Large Issues incorporates the anthropology of complex modern societies. Using reviews of key monographs to illustrate his argument, Eriksen's lucid and accessible text remains an established introductory text in anthropology.This new edition is updated throughout and increases the emphasis on the interdependence of human worlds. There is a new discussion of the new influence cultural studies and natural science on anthropology. Effortless bridging the perceived gap between "classic" and "contemporary" anthropology, Small Places, Large Issues is as essential to anthropology undergraduates as ever.

Need to block access to certain website types without listing each URL to block. Students at secondary school are going to porn sites. Need to be able to block all such access without having to list each possible site URL. Having the Content --> Ratings tab set to None for all categories on the ratings files listed on my computers does not prevent access.
Unchecking users may access sites with no rating, even with the security settings set to High, still allows the porn sites to come up. If that is checked, then ONLY listed sites can open and students would not be able to do any research via google, for example. I would rather not have to continue checking each computer and blocking sites as they find them.

Marc - bravo on this post on one of the great singers of the 20th century. I've always sensed a great amount of jazz/blues feeling in her singing. For some reason, I liken her to Johnny Hodges. I always think of Hodges when I hear Patsy's recording of "If You've Got Leavin' on Your Mind." Just think of that mentally - Johnny Hodges playing that melody; there's something about the way she sings that song which always brings Hodges' way of bending notes to mind. But call me crazy for making that comparison ;-)
 Cheers,

Preparing your home to sell is a form of emotional divorce from any attachment or bond that may have formed while living there. If you have committed to Jackson Pollock like abstracts on the living room walls and primary colors painted on the nursery walls, you are not going to appeal to the masses for resale. Prospective buyers need to envision themselves living in your home. This is accomplished with neutral wall paint color.
Paint provides an efficient and inexpensive change. Transforming the initial view of the home's interior from deep rich purple to a light and airy shade of sand can actually save you money. You will be increasing the number of buyers interested in your property and most likely shorten the number of days on the market.
A prominent Texas home builder with a business model allowing the buyer to choose options for their house to be built, allows the buyer to choose neutral paint color. This builder spent a whole lot of money surveying prospective buyers for wall paint colors. The most popular paint colors were Sherwin- Williams Kilum Beige or Nomadic Desert. These two colors are frequently requested at the big box stores so often, the paint codes are memorized by the majority of personnel in the paint mixing departments.
If your heart is set on painting your home's interior, white, at least choose a white with character. Behr's White Truffle or Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee both offer a softer edge to a harsh, stark white. A neutral white will open up a room and give height to low ceilings. It also offers a crisp and clean appearance.
Creating a neutral interior appearance does not mean a total absence of color. Highlights and hues can be appropriated with throw pillows, area rugs and fresh flowers. Live plants and linens can also provide color personality when staging your home. A statement color for the entryway door will provide a pop of color.
Save the Dragon Enticement Purple and Elvis Black Velvet for the next dream home. If you wish to sell your property in a timely order, stick with the neutral shades.

These days, vacations are about so much more than getting a suntan and reading a book by the pool. With travel dollars often limited and free time so precious, many consumers are deciding that when they have the time off, they want to make the most of it by pursuing an interest or passion. Maybe they are going to play nonstop golf or tennis. Indulge and pamper themselves with a week at a spa. Go hiking, build a home for those less fortunate, volunteer, learn a language, perfect a cooking skill, taste wine, or enjoy their favorite music.

Execute lung-burning turns in the steeps while protecting your lower half with waterproof, fully seam-sealed pants that feature varied insulation for dialed warmth. The Gore-Tex® 2L exterior resists abrasion and remains completely waterproof and windproof in the worst winter weather. Thermo3D® design places more insulation (60g) in the upper legs and less (40 g) in the lower legs for warmth without bulk. A classic fit leaves plenty of room for deep, forward-leaning knee bends while holding an edge on steep slopes. If an avalanche is triggered, the nearly weightless embedded RECCO® transponder in this jacket can be pinpointed by detectors carried by a rescue team.

GORE-TEX® delivers the industry's most innovative and highest performance waterproof, windproof and breathable weather protection.
GORE-TEX® Pro: Provides maximum ruggedness that's ideal for extreme and extended use, and provides up to 28% increased breathability combined with durability and windproof properties.
GORE-TEX® Active Shell: Provides extreme breathability along with durable waterproof and windproof protection for all-weather, high-aerobic activities. It combines a lighter, thinner GORE-TEX® membrane, with fine denier performance textiles to deliver a streamlined three-layer construction. New for Spring '12, this brings a never-before-seen level of comfort performance to waterproof apparel.
GORE-TEX® Paclite®: Combining extreme breathability and durable wind and waterproof protection with minimum weight and pack volume, GORE-TEX® Paclite® shells use a specific membrane with a protective internal layer made of an oil-hating/carbon hybrid – eliminating the need for a separate lining, making this lighter, smaller, and easier to pack away.
GORE-TEX® Performance Shell: Specifically engineered to form an impenetrable barrier against wind and water while maintaining breathability, this waterproof material uses a two-layer construction for a lighter, softer feel – and in a three-layer construction for a more heavy-duty alternative.
PrimaLoft® Eco Earth-friendly insulation created for performance and comfort. Eco insulation technology combines a minimum of 50 percent recycled material with standard PrimaLoft® fibers to create a high-loft, thermally efficient insulation. PrimaLoft® Eco is lightweight and water resistant with superior softness to keep you dry and comfortable.
PrimaLoft® One The ultimate microfiber insulation. Ultra-fine fibers are specially treated in a patented process and then combined into an insulating core that is incredibly soft, lightweight and water resistant. PrimaLoft® One absorbs three times less water, is 14 percent warmer when dry and is 24 percent warmer when wet than competitive insulation.
PrimaLoft® Sport The perfect combination of high-performance insulation and value, this technology combines ultra-fine and multi-diameter fibers for specific performance characteristics. The specially treated ultra-fine fibers help to form a water resistant insulating structure, while the multi-diameter fibers help to build loft.
