On December 11th we officially kicked off the construction of our new Community Services Center. Staff, board, donors and press gathered to watch as shovels bit the ground in preparation for the building which will provide privacy and comfort for clients and adequate work space for staff and volunteers. It will replace a decades-old, inadequate structure.
The construction is expected to be completed within about six months. The project is being funded by grants and contributions from many generous donors.
The general contractor for the project is Devcon Construction, Inc., and the architectural firm is Bevan & Associates.
MC Marcelo Defreitas and tango partner Valerie Walter Wow the crowd at Noche Latina. View more photos!
"Noche Latina" held at Glen Ellen's K2 horse ranch, was a true celebration of La Luz Center's 30th anniversary and of Sonoma Valley's Latino heritage.
The event was sold out to 400 guests who came decked out in red and black "tango" attire and costumed as Frida Khalo, Diego Rivera, Che Guevarra, Zorro, Carmen Miranda and Evita.
Volunteers in colorful La Luz tee shirts seemed to be everywhere… there were over 40 people helping park cars, directing traffic, and keeping the party running smoothly.
"Noche" was a resounding success and raised a record-breaking $452,000 for La Luz Center.
"The generosity of our donors empowers us and endorses our vision and mission of La Luz Center," said La Luz Executive Director Juan Hernandez III, "We could not be more humbled and encouraged by what happened tonight. We know our work is embraced by Sonoma Valley."
Carlos Herrera band played Latin music for the cocktail hour which took place under majestic oak trees and giant flags of Latino countries. Guests enjoyed wines by Highway 12 winery, blood orange martinis with Skyy vodka , Argentinian beef empanadas and paella stations.
Mariachi Bello and Los Charros showing their roping talents entertained when the guests promenaded into the elegant Buenos Aires tango lounge lit with chandeliers and candelabra and long tables set with red cloths and black lace.
Bare-chested matador MC Marcelo Defreitas, the event's creator and producer, and local attorney Valerie Pistole, in glittering satin, took the huge curtained stage and began the night's entertainment with a passionate, crowd-pleasing tango.
The consummate entertainer, Defreitas teased guests, played bullfight music and had a bull make a surprise attack on board member Kimberly Blattner, who "didn't get the memo" about not wearing red.
Dinner by Elaine Bell was served family style and included Latin-inspired beef, fish and vegetable dishes, with tres leches cake for birthday dessert.
A video showcasing La Luz's expanding work was shown before the Fund a Need, which was a huge vote of confidence from the crowd, topping all former auctions when three donors offered to match hundred- dollar donations. Paddles flew into the air, and the crowd roared.
Executive Director Juan Hernandez took the stage for a surprise tribute to Defreitas, thanking him for "giving five years of his life and talents to La Luz."
Noche Latina is the fifth find raising party Defreitas has created and produced. Taking the community by storm he first took La Luz supporters to his native Brazil's Copacabana nightclub, a party held at the Sonoma Barracks. In search of more space, he created a Moroccan Casbah at Hanna Boys Center; then to Jack London Park's African savannah; the South Pacific gardens of Cline Winery and has finally come full circle back to our valley's roots with Noche Latina.
Entertainment for the party included Mexican Ballet Folklorico, Sangre Latina and Aquarela do Brasil dance groups --to the crowd's delight the sexy Brazilian dancers from the Copacabana made a comeback. As has become tradition, to cap off a perfect party, guests took the stage for spirited "hang loose" disco dancing.
La Luz Center has been serving Sonoma Valley for thirty years. In the past year it has expanded its many services, and with a new collaborative with el Verano School strives to be a catalyst for change through health, education and financial security.
La Luz Center recently hosted the Leadership Challenge workshop. In this exclusive to the Sonoma Valley Sun, Sonoma Leadership Systems' Lauren Parkhill reports on the inspiring workshop.

This year, La Luz was one of the recipients of an Impact Community Grant for $15,000 to expand the Employment Services & Computer Literacy Program. These programs provide members of Sonoma Valley's low income families with employment counseling, computer literacy classes and ongoing technology literacy assistance. The expansion will allow La Luz to reach many more families, hold job fairs and add much needed classes. The expanded program provides participants with increased confidence in their technology skills, ability to find employment and be more competitive in the Sonoma County labor market. The programs will continue to be managed by our Community Education & Engagement Program Manager, Malinalli López, who has implemented similar, successful skills improvement programming on behalf of the City of Santa Rosa prior to working at La Luz Center. Jerardo Martinez is our Technology and Employment Navigator.
La Luz is also one of the partners of On the Move, this years winner of the $100,000 annual grant from Impact 100 for the implementation of a Sonoma Valley Parent University at El Verano and Sassarini Elementary Schools. Parents learn how to support their children, improve their English, volunteer at the schools and connect with other parents. The ultimate goal is for parents to become leaders in their community and role models for their children.
After five years, La Luz Center was thrilled to bring its Cinco de Mayo celebration back to the Sonoma Plaza, and even more thrilled to receive such a great welcome back from the community. When we planned the event we knew that we would have good attendance but we never imagined that we would have such a huge turnout!
Sheila Whitney kicked off the event with a great rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. The dancers of the Mexican Folkoric Dance Company Quetzalen brought us the spirit and culture of Mexico. Quetzalen consists of all ages from 5 years old to adults who kept the crowd entertained as they twirled, danced and spun their colorful multi-layered traditional dresses. The crowd joined in the dancing, as well as the ladies of Zumba who demonstrated a fun way to excersize and stay healthy; the energy flowed with the Aztec Dance Troupe Xantot. A "baile" from the group Efikaz was the finale.
The crowd was drawn into the plaza's amphitheater by the magical sound of Mariachi Barragan who instilled in us such great emotions.
The celebration offered delicious food-- ceviche, tortas ahgoadas, tacos, sopes, aguas frescas and many more antojitos. Community members had the opportunity to stop at the Metro PCS spin wheel for prizes and offers, chat with our local police department, make paper flowers at the Artescape booth, and check out clothing from The Lonesome Cowboy Ranch & Passion 4 Fashion booths.
This wonderful event would not have been possible without our many volunteers who gave their time in helping organize and keep the event running smoothly. We want thank the community for attending. It was our goal to provide a safe, fun, family friendly event and that it was. We can't wait to see you all at next year's celebration!

Top Customer Reviews
1. The white charmeuse is see through so you MUST wear something underneath the dress.
2. The material is very thin and would get stretched out and shapeless very quickly.
3. The banded bottom is VERY tight. Knees smashed together tight.
Over all, what started out as a very cute, classy dress on PR has become a flimsy, ill-proportioned one hardly worth the asking price. I hate to have to say that I received the dress 20 minutes ago and have already started the return process. So sad, maybe someone can "make it work", but it isn't me. :(
This is definitely not designer error, but rather poor production.

As we continue to celebrate the 50th anniversary of UC Irvine and the Department of Drama, we honor the vision of our Founding Chairman, Robert Cohen, and Founding Dean, the late Clayton Garrison. Their commitment to creating a school that offered professional caliber conservatory training has led to the consistent intellectual and artistic quality that has distinguished ours as a UCI Department of Excellence. In every regard, we aim to fulfill the 1965 mission statement written so eloquently by our founders: The goal of the Department of Drama at the University of California at Irvine is a simple one: to produce students who combine a critical intelligence with disciplined theatrical experience. It is our most fundamental belief that intellectual integrity is not incompatible with professional excellence, and that in point of fact one cannot exist without the other. Thus in our productions we will aim at perceiving and expressing the depth of an author's art and skill, and in our instructional program we will demand the same dedication and involvement expected of members in a theatrical company. Our commitment to theatre is total: to its art and to its genius in the expression of Life. Given the tireless efforts of our distinguished and dedicated faculty, exciting colloquia with guest speakers, and our state of the art facilities, we provide our students an unparalleled educational and creative experience. Our 2015-16 season, "Care, Cure, Corruption," explores varieties of somatic, mental, and societal illnesses and their possible remedies. In addition to our six main stage productions, we will offer a variety of Director Class Projects, as well as other solo and group performances. On 24 April, we are excited to present a joyful celebration of the career of Professor Emeritus Robert Cohen, featuring five decades of distinguished alumni whose lives he has influenced. As ever, we look forward to sharing our intellectual and creative discoveries with you.
—Dr. Daniel Gary Busby, Chair of Drama

After Payam Bakht and Sareh Aminian "Go Public", Service Canada put Parvaz Film Corporation on the list of companies found to have broken temporary foreign worker rules. The actors were charged $15,000 for jobs that turned out to be non-existent. We received this email from Mojdeh Shahriah, the immigration lawyer who first reported the allegations of immigration fraud against Parvaz films to the CBSA more than nine months ago:
"Thanks to your investigative report, Service Canada followed up on this case with my office and I just saw that Parvaz Film Corporation is now on the list of companies suspended or revoked by Service Canada."

Following Go Public's story about an autistic man confined to a hospital without appropriate care, Monique Taylor, MPP for Hamilton Mountain and NDP member of the Select Committee on Developmental Services, issued the following statement:
"The heartbreaking story of the Spagnuolo family is sadly very much in line with what the Select Committee on Developmental Services has been hearing from families across the province... We know that this government has been failing to meet the needs of some of Ontario's most vulnerable people. The fact that the government is indeed paying well over $1,000 a day, but will not provide funding for appropriate and likely more inexpensive care, is disturbing... Surely, the government does not need a detailed report to realize that this family is in crisis and that the care this young man needs would be better delivered closer to home and in a more appropriate setting."

As a result of stories by CBC's Go Public, the Royal Bank has promised it will never outsource a Canadian job to a foreign worker solely to save money.
The bank updated its code of conduct on Friday, after facing intense criticism last month for its hiring policies.

I am pleased to report that I have heard other Canadians are using the "Negotiating Tool Kit" co-authored by Philip Passudetti of Pass Consult, Steve Anderson of OpenMedia, and me, to negotiate their cell phone charges to a reasonable amount. Hopefully the CRTC will regulate this unfair business practise and mandate a Roaming Charge Cap to avoid future customer bill shock.

Just four months after the story aired the Ministry of Social Development announced changes in the works that would allow families on income assistance to purchase eyeglasses online and claim the expense:
"I compliment the minister and the Liberal Party for expeditiously tweaking legislation to allow low-income clients access to purchase their eye-wear and lenses online. This will allow them lower costs and better quality eyewear, therefore improving their quality of life. I wish also to thank Go Public for the service they serve society and the public to prod such change and expose things that otherwise are hidden away from most of the public's awareness."

Quebec's health agency has shut down Narconon in Trois-Rivieres. Earlier this month, a Toronto mom went public after her son was rejected by the drug rehab centre. The day after our story aired, the agency sent a letter to Narconon ordering it to remove the patients from the facility immediately, claiming its practices were a danger to the health and security of its patients.
Meanwhile the Toronto mom, Yvonne Keller, who lost $10,000 after her son was kicked out of the facility and sent back to Toronto on a bus alone, has received offers of help from two other drug programs.
"I just can't believe this. I extend the biggest warmest hug to you and the CBC right now. Truly, thank you."

The Federal Court of Appeal found that Premier Career Management Group and its president, Minto Roy, convinced clients to pay $5,000 to $7,000 each, by misleading them to believe that the company would use its extensive network of links to senior-level executives to arrange job interviews; and find jobs quickly for clients, typically within 90 days.

From Shannon and Mark Gorst, victims of identity theft who couldn't get the authorities to lay charges on the thief despite their evidence:
Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job on the story... Right now, Mark and I are going through the over 300 comments posted on the CBC site. It was nice to see there was barely any criticism about us (although I can't say the same for the RCMP and government) and we are looking at the many ideas people have posted for us...

"We have now opened a trust account for contributions to help us with upfront legal costs... Thank you so much for all the support and the great work that you do."
They have also created a self-help page on Facebook for people who have been "Lerouxed". Their definition? A person who suffers the extreme financial and emotional hardships of a government error or mistake.

"I hope that your article will bring the plight of these victims to the forefront. It's just not fair that the records were destroyed and the victims are being victimized all over again, in spite of testimony from their doctors. I've seen it over and over again. It's heartbreaking."

"CBC's independence and Kathy Tomlinson's fortitude in bringing our story under public scrutiny has not only validated our injuries, brought cohesiveness to our group, and given us a reason to get out of bed in the morning, but has also helped us to shine the public and political spotlight on Cascade Aerospace and the atrocities this company (and WorksafeBC) has been committing on the employees.

She has just been cleared by both the American and Canadian governments to get a Nexus membership and can now cross the border stress-free:
"So either somebody way back in the beginning made a big mistake in flagging me to start with or some bureaucratic person has told them to return my name to good standing... Thanks so much for your help with my cause - I am sure it helped get me where I am now."

This week the federal government dropped its case against a group of immigrant workers in the Fraser Valley, thanks in part to Go Public, says their lawyer. Over a year ago, we reported that the government had spent millions of taxpayer dollars pursuing these low-paid farmworkers for their employment insurance claims.
"We think that the Go Public story played a big role in this victory, and really appreciate the work you and Kathy put into it."

Simply Vera: a transformation for Kohl's
Careful readers of fashion news may remember that the soon-to-be-launched Vera Wang line for Kohl's was announced last year as Very Vera. Now it's called Simply Vera. Why the change?
The official word from Kohl's is this: "Simply Vera Vera Wang is a result of brand development-that is as the brand began to come to life in merchandising etc., we felt that the name Simply Vera Vera Wang spoke to the essence of the brand--fun, charming, spirited, whimsical--like Vera Wang herself."
Not only that, but the name change is keeping Kohl's out of court with another Vera in Augusta, Ga., who runs a mail-order food business called Very Vera. She has a web site, www.veryvera.com.
Kohl's declined to comment on whether this conflict had anything to do with the change. But the Augusta Chronicle reported last year that the southern Vera was talking to her lawyer about getting in touch with the more-famous Vera in New York.
It's tax holiday weekend, but not in Wisconsin
Shoppers in eight states are getting ready to enjoy a sales-tax-free weekend. States that have suspended sales tax collections this weekend are Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, New Mexico, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia.
Rules vary by state, but in general the tax holidays are aimed at back-to-school shoppers. Exempt items include shoes and clothing under $100, school supplies, backpacks and in some cases, computers. Texas has a tax holiday scheduled Aug. 17-19, and Connecticut is planning a tax free week from Aug. 19 through 25.
Update: Iowa also has a tax holiday this weekend. Thanks to an alert reader for pointing this out.$ (3)
Beans recalled from Sentry, Pick 'n Save, IGA
The French-style green beans that were recalled this week by Lakeside Foods of Manitowoc were sold at independently-owned Sentry stores in Wisconsin under the Flavorite label; at Pick 'n Save and Copps stores under the North Pride label; and at independent stores in Green Bay under the IGA label.
Dave Aggen, vice president of quality assurance and product safety at Lakeside said Friday that there have been no reports of illness associated with the beans. Lakeside recalled 15,000 cases of beans earlier this week because of an operations error that overfilled the cans with beans. Putting too many beans in a can results in insufficient cooking, which can lead to the formation of botulinum toxin in the beans. No toxins have been found in any cans tested so far, however.
Consumers can return cans to the store where they were purchased for exchange or refund.
Can codes for the recalled Flavorite beans are: 14.5 oz., UPC 4113090904, 14.25 oz., UPC 4113006420, 16 oz., UPC 4113001955. Can codes for North Star are available on the Roundy's web site. IGA bean codes are: 14.5 oz., UPC 4127087480.

Local bra hits the red carpet
Local bra inventor Karey Weyenberg has hit the big time with her CleaVacious bra. Just a year after Karey, a former SBC employee, started selling the bras out of the back of her Jeep, the product is being introduced in department stores around the country.
Karey says a story about her invention last year by my colleague Kathleen Gallagher helped her to get noticed by a Fashion Forms, the company that makes the Waterbra. Karey, who says she wears a D cup, designed the adjustable-front bra to allow her to create cleavage when she wanted it. The adjustable front also is helpful for women who aren't the same size on both sides.
Karey appeared with Melissa Rivers, the spokeswoman for the CleaVacious bra, at Macy's at Herald Square in New York for the official product launch. Karey will be at Boston Stores in the Milwaukee area on Saturday to demonstrate the bra. The schedule: Bayshore, 10 a.m.; Mayfair, 12:30; Brookfield Square, 2 p.m.; Southridge, 4 p.m.
The CleaVacious bras also are available at Macy's at Mayfair, and at http://www.jcpenney.com/.$
Puzzleworld moves to Brookfield
Puzzleworld, a retailer that sells puzzles and specialty toys, has left Mayfair for a new location at 12505 W. Blue Mound Rd. The grand opening for the new 4,500-square-foot store is Wednesday, Aug. 15.$
Mayfair open til 9 on Saturday nights, easing rules on teens
Mayfair just announced that they'll stay open until 9 p.m. on Saturdays, and unescorted kids can stay one hour longer on Fridays and Saturdays. Since March 30, kids without parents have had to leave the mall by 2 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Now they can stay until 3 p.m.
In addition, Mayfair is easing the rule on how many kids can be supervised by one adult. Until now, the rule has been four kids per adult after 2 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. This was causing problems for people taking little kids to birthday parties, and for parents taking kids to movies.
The new rule allows adults to supervise any number of children up to age 10. The rule of four kids per adult still applies to those from 11 to 17.

Kohls.com still down
The relaunch of the enhanced Kohls.com web site appears to have run into some problems. The site has been down much of the week as the company upgrades and adds thousands of items that weren't previously available online.
I was able to access the new site yesterday, but it's down again today. Kohl's says it expects to relaunch its upgraded online store in a few days. The corporate information portion of the site is operating.
Kohl's has doubled the size of its Monroe, Ohio distribution center that handles kohls.com sales. The company added furniture to its online store last year, offering lots of items that aren't sold in its brick-and-mortar stores. Kohl's reported Internet sales of $170 million in 2006.
Update: the site was functioning as of Sept. 4.$

Ariza is Puzzled With Chavez Jr's Weight Problems
by Ronnie Nathanielsz
Strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza can't understand the weight problems of former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., whose fight against No.1 contender Brian Vera will be at a catch-weight of 173 pounds over ten rounds when it was originally discussed for 163 pounds over twelve rounds.
Ariza who was previously working with Chavez Jr. told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard that trainer Freddie Roach had indicated he would not train Chavez Jr. if Ariza was involved, adding "everybody wants to get me out and this is the kind of thing that happens."
Ariza said he couldn't understand how Julio could have gone up in weight when he's been training for six months.
There have been indications that Chavez Jr., son of the legendary Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., may consider working with 2012 "Trainer of the Year" Robert Garcia after the Vera fight which is scheduled for Saturday at the StubHub Center in Carson, California and will be telecast over ABS-CBN's Studio 23.
Ariza told us he has long been friends with Chavez Jr. and would like to help him out.
Brian Vera's trainer, Ronnie Shields, told BoxingScene's Rick Reeno that Vera was financially compensated for allowing Chavez the additional pounds.
Shields told Boxingscene.com, "We explained everything to Brian of what can happen in the fight with the weight and ultimately it was Brian's decision to go forward with the fight. He said 'I trained too long not to fight. This is the best shape that I've ever been in."
The trainer said Vera "trained 17 weeks for the fight if you total everything up from the beginning of when we first started this [training camp] until now. He said what he wanted, he got what he wanted and he feels good about it. The most important thing is that Brian feels good about it and got what he wanted."

My husband and I have been trying to sleep comfortably on a foam bed (too hard) for the past couple of years. I even added a foam "egg crate" pad, but that made sleeping too hot. When we read that another reviewer has the same kind of bed and was pleased with the difference this pad made, we decided to purchase one. When we took it out of the bag, we didn't think it would be thick enough. To our surprise, it has made a world of difference! Our bed is finally comfortable to sleep on, and the nice cotton fabric makes sleeping cooler than it was before. It stays put, too. I think we made the right choice.
Did not hold up to washing, it disintegrated after 2nd wash. Fit was good.
A great mattress pad at a great price! It fits well over both my mattress and the 4 inch memory foam topper with no problem.
Bought two of these, one king and one queen, based on favorable star ratings and comments. Though the top of the mattress pad appears to be comfortable and of good quality, the sides are made of very thin, paper-like material with elastics running thru them. When putting the queen on mattress, one of the elastic corners ripped right away. Called customer service and was emailed return shipping labels promptly for both pads for full refunds. I use Overstock.com regularly for many reasons; the products reviews are helpful (tho not in this case), prices are reasonabale and sometimes great deals are found, shipping is fast and convenient, and customer service has been great. I have had defective products in the past but have never had any trouble returning them.
Because of its placement on Overstocks web page and the verbiage used to describe the product I was under the opinion I was ordering a heated mattress pad. I was disappointed when I first opened the awaited delivery. But rather than go through the problem of returning it I put it on my aging pillow top mattress. I was quite frankly very surprised at the difference it made in my comfort. And now find myself happy with the error.
The elastic is already giving way. The sides are made of that cheap, paper-like material which slides right off any kind of sateen-like mattress. What a crock the other reviews are! This is a CHEAP pad with a super over-inflated price. I will never read and believe another review on here. I want it clearly stated that it is a PAPER sided mattress pad. I don't know about some of you but I buy a lot of things based on reviews......I will be paying more attention and calling before I make any other orders on Overstock because most of the reviews are off-target!
The surface of the mattress cover area is only 58 inches wide and 78 inches long. Because of this, the fit is not good and I see the sides of cover for one inch around my regular queen mattress (not oversized). Because I like to make a neat bed, this did not sit well with me. Did not return as the package was opend and discarded the bag. The comfort seems fine if I sleep in the middle of the mattress. The manufacturer should know that quilting will shrink the size and cut the fabric so it will turn out to be the size of the mattress. A disappointing purchase.
The picture and description suggests it's thicker and does provide back support. It is just slightly better quality than the cheapest one's you purchase to to cover the mattress. I did not find any upgrade in terms of comfort or adding a plush thick layer.
This is a great mattress pad for the price. I did shop around first. The pad has made a nice difference in comfort on our bed, but probably because our old mattress pad had gotten quite flat. The Cal-King size fit our thicker Cal-King mattress without struggle, as there was no noticeable shrinkage after the first washing. However, I always wash cotton bed linens in cold water ONLY (with a few drops of bleach for sanitation purposes). I'm not sure how much shrinkage would have occurred with a warm-water washing instead. The only thing I found a bit dissatisfying was the fabric used for the sides of the mattress pad. It's that cheapy paper-like filament fiber stuff. The kind you can easily put a thumb through if you're not careful. Why can't they just use the same cotton fabric, for the sides, that they use on the top? Other then that, it's been a great mattress pad for the price I paid.
The fabric on top is nice, smooth but the material on the bottom of the mattress cover is so slick, it won't stay in place on the mattress. When I turn during the night the sheet and mattress cover bunch up in the center of the bed.
OK, so this is a mattress cover, the one function of a mattress cover is to stay on the mattress and cover it, this product does not stay on. Prior to this I had a Simmons Beautyrest cover that never had an issue with comming off the mattress, this cover will not stay on - Period. Every day I have to recover all corners and sides of this mattress pad because it simply will not stay in place, because of this it makes the bed lumpy and uncomfortable to sleep in. Waste of money.
This is one of the best mattress pads we've ever owned. It's been on my grown (6'2'', 185 lbs) son's queen size bed for over 3 years now, and it's still almost like new! Launders well and is almost impossible to wear out. Great plush pad that is very well made. Never shifts, never wrinkles, and oohhhhh so soft! He loves it, and I love it so much I'm back to order one for myself. Absolutely awesome!
This is a great quality and we love it! So easy to have DELIVERD!

Nice, comfortable and breathable Mattress pad. Got the best price from Overstock.com. Shipped Quickly.
product was exactley what i wanted for far less money than i c ould get it for locally great quality fit well
Recently began a bed "make over" upgraded everything associated with my bed. The mattress pad was the final phrase, and I made a wonderful choice. Everything was purchase from overstock and the mattress pad was such an important part, I saved it for last. My simmons mattress pad was exactly what it promised and I will buy another for my daughter who is a freshman in college, she too needs some comfort away from home..simmons is the way to go.
not as thick and as soft as i thought it would be for the price. the elastic and corner material seem to be of good quality.
Very comfortable; fits mattress extremely well. The extra padding in the low back area is very supportive, especially for someone who experiences low back pain (I do). The extra stitching and contours of the mattress pad add extra strength and durability to this product. We are very impressed with the quality of this product and, in our opinion, is an excellent purchase for a very reasonable price.
I bought this as a cover I had a stain on my mattress & I want to cover it but it turned out to be pretty cumfy as well! The side material isn't that great of quality but it works for what I need it for great price & can't beat $1 shipping

Round two to ignite old rivalries and friendships
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- March 09, 2012
OUTSIDE his father, Phil Gould says Nick Politis is the greatest man he has known. Politis freely admits he is "close" to Gould.
The pair have a friendship as tight and warm as that of a father and son.
Gould once said he would never coach against Politis' Roosters. He has been true to his word.
But "Gus" may now have Politis on a technicality.
This Sunday at Allianz Stadium, Gould and Politis face off for the first time in 20 years ... Gould as the Panthers general manager, Politis the long-term Roosters chairman.
Firm friends will become firm rivals for 80 minutes.
itunes: Download our special edition NRL Magazine
Android: Download our special edition NRL Magazine
The Gould-Politis showdown will highlight an amazing round of football which will ignite old rivalries and friendships.
Tonight in Gosford Adam Blair, now a Wests Tiger, confronts a Manly pack he tried to maim at Brookvale six months ago. The Morris brothers, Brett and Josh, confront one another on Saturday night when Canterbury tackle Saints at ANZ Stadium.
Cronulla's Isaac De Gois goes up against his former club Newcastle, Knights prop Kade Snowden returns to Toyota Stadium.
Sharks player Mark Taufua is up against Wayne Bennett. Late last year, Taufua was embroiled in drama when he took to Twitter and called Bennett a "9ball" and wanted to fold the seven-time premiership-winning coach like "my washing".
What about the Sunday night's match in Melbourne?
Souths coach Michael Maguire faces his mentor, the Storm's Craig Bellamy, while Rabbitohs stars Greg Inglis, Matt King and Michael Crocker confront their old club.
Politis yesterday, strangely, did not want to discuss taking on Gould's Panthers this weekend.
"So what?" Politis said. "What are you trying to write, that we're friends and now rivals? Can't you write something more interesting. It's boring. Leave me out. Please. Ring Gus. I don't want to comment."
Politis did admit last year: "Gus and I are very close."
Also last year, Gould went public saying: "I said to Nick Politis 12 years ago that I wouldn't coach against the Roosters. And I haven't done it. Still not doing it."
Gould was not answering his mobile phone yesterday.
EXCLUSIVE: NRL to trial video challenge system
Sharks coach Shane Flanagan spoke last night about De Gois going up against the Knights on Sunday.
"He has a bit of a point to prove," he said. "He was signed to a new deal (at Newcastle) but was basically pushed out. We were lucky to get him - it worked out well for us."
Asked about Snowden, Flanagan said: "We were disappointed to lose 'Snow'. But he's at Newcastle now and we want to make sure he doesn't enjoy his return."
The Morris players love playing one another.
"And both won't give an inch," said Bulldogs coach Des Hasler. "They are highly competitive."
When asked if the Storm game was the first he looked for when the draw was released, Souths boss Maguire said: "I was aware that we were playing Melbourne and there's a number of players from our team from there, and it has been spoken about.
"But we are all just really focused on making sure we are improving here at Souths."Manly coach Geoff Toovey played down any drama between Blair and his Manly forwards.
"The Tigers have plenty of strike power with Benji Marshall and Robbie Farah so we can't be concentrating on Adam Blair," Toovey said.
Warriors stars Feleti Mateo and Kris Inu play former club Parramatta on Monday night.

Has anyone created a wp plug-in that works with the media manager or wordpress upload feature which deals with large files beyond the size which PHP can deal with? (I'm thinking 600mb) I am specifically thinking of something like a Java driven client (although it could be flash driven or similar), most likely ftp, sftp, ftps, or alike that allows drag and drop functionality from the client to the wordpress server.
I'm looking to try and make sure no one has developed this before I try and figure it out.
I found a few examples of applets, lots of close-source or shareware pieces out there, but no wordpress plug-ins. I did find an open-source project for web based uploads, but it's in development and not a plug-in.

By Mr. Cory Hancock (JFHQNCRMDW)March 20, 2014
ARLINGTON, Va. (March 19, 2014) -- Kathy A. Michalko, U.S. Secret Service Washington Field Office special agent in charge, laid a wreath with Maj. Gen. Jeffrey S. Buchanan, Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Region/U.S. Army Military District of Washington commanding general, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during an Army Full Honors Wreath Laying Ceremony in Arlington National Cemetery.
The wreath laying was part of an ongoing engagement program between JFHQ-NCR/MDW and its interagency partners. Laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is an honor usually bestowed upon military personnel and visiting foreign dignitaries.
"The decision of the Military District of Washington to recognize the Secret Service with the honor of partaking in such a distinguished event highlights the strength and significance of the relationship between our agencies," said Michalko. "I am also proud of the work that personnel in the Washington Field Office do every day. Their collective but individual efforts to building professional relationships with our partners are a key part of the success of our mission. I am honored to represent the Secret Service at this event."
The U.S. Secret Service's mission is to safeguard the nation's financial infrastructure and payment systems to preserve the integrity of the economy, and to protect national leaders, visiting heads of state and government, designated sites and national security events.
"Every time I visit Arlington National Cemetery it is a poignant reminder of all those that made the ultimate sacrifice to secure the freedoms that I enjoy every day," said Michalko. "I felt very humbled to be able to pay tribute to all the heroes that rest here."
The U.S. Secret Service was established in 1865 and its original mission was to suppress the counterfeiting of U.S. currency. Their mission has evolved over time, to include the protection of national and visiting foreign leaders and criminal investigations. These dual missions have been mandated by Congress. The U.S. Secret Service has more than 150 offices both in the United States and abroad.
"The District of Columbia is the home of the president and the vice president, the two most significant persons that this agency is entrusted to keep safe. In addition, as our Nation's Capital, it is the location for historic events of national significance," said Michalko. "The Military District of Washington, along with our law enforcement partners, are important in our ability to provide a safe environment for our protectees, citizens, and visitors to the National Capital Region."

Alex patiently waits to be let out of his kennel in the morning and then he shoots out of his kennel and "dances" all over the house. When he gets excited, he exhibits signs of a bull in the china shop and his ears stop working. Once he gets over his excitement, he is wonderfully attentive and responsive. Alex really wants to please, but needs a patient, consistent pack leader to teach him the routines. When Alex is not on high speed, he loves to snuggle.
He loves squeak toys, balls, and especially squeaky balls. He likes to have his toys spread all over the floor, but he will bring his toys to you to be put away. Alex loves and needs to run, so a round or two of playing ball is mandatory each day. Alex has a watch dog sounding bark when people walk by or knock on the door. He is not aggressive or possessive, but he does jump and bounce when meeting people.
Alex has no known health issues. You can see more photos of Alex on our website: www.acsrwa.org If your home has a place to run and someone to play with, contact ACSR to meet Alex. Alex's adoption fee is $225.

|Kennedy-Dixon named special assistant to Clemson AD
|Tuesday, July 15, 2014 9:35 AM-
CLEMSON, S.C. – Barbara Kennedy-Dixon, who has served in the role of Senior Woman Administrator since 2005, has been named Special Assistant to the Director of Athletics, and will provide assistance to the Director of Athletics in areas of identified critical needs and on special projects. She will provide coordination of student-athlete admissions and post-eligibility services and oversight of special projects within the division of Athletic Academic Services.
Along with serving as the SWA for 10 years, Kennedy-Dixon has been with the university in an administrative position or coach for 27 overall. Her ties to the school and Clemson athletes date to 1978, when she was a freshman on the Clemson women's basketball team.
"In recent years I began considering retirement options, and last year I started pursuing those options. I will always have a passion for Clemson athletics and its continued success, and I look forward to this new role," Kennedy-Dixon said. "This opportunity will allow me to remain as a valuable resource at Vickery Hall and also to support the new Senior Women's Administrator."
"I thank Barbara for her great work as SWA and look forward to her continuing valuable contributions. She has been a tremendous asset to me during my initial 18 months here at Clemson," director of athletics Dan Radakovich said. "Her institutional knowledge, care and passion for our student athletes and the high level of respect she maintains around both campus and the conference will continue to be of utmost value to our athletics program as we move forward."
Kennedy-Dixon, the first women's basketball player inducted into the Clemson Ring of Honor, was a two-time All-American and three-time All-ACC performer on the court. She was named MVP of the ACC Tournament in both 1981 and 1982, and was named Clemson's top athlete of the 1980s. She's continued to serve Clemson with distinction as an assistant coach, an administrator in Vickery Hall, in the compliance office and as Senior Woman Administrator.
The athletic department is currently in the concluding stages of a nationwide search for a new SWA.

"After a week [in Israel and Palestine], we had a conclusion with the same words: these people look the same; they speak almost the same language, like twin brothers raised in different families. It's obvious, but they don't see that. We must put them face to face. They will realize." (via 3qd)

Volvo evaluates the potential of wireless charging stations
Swedish manufacturer Volvo in partnership with several companies recently completed a study on the potential and performance of wireless electric charging stations. The study also sought to determine whether this type of charging solution was safe for the user.
With a wireless charging station, the driver only has to position his or her electric car over the station to begin the process of recharging the batteries. An induction coil within the station creates an electromagnetic field while another coil, located in the vehicle, converts the field into electrical power for the battery.
This type of technology is already used on wireless devices such as electric toothbrushes, but it is in its infancy when it comes to car. Nevertheless, the potential of this type of charging is not to be ignored. For example, Volvo managed to recharge the batteries of an electric C30 in just 2 hours 30 minutes. This is a significant improvement compared to the current average time required to recharge an electric car.
According to Volvo, the ability to recharge the batteries more quickly could greatly increase the attractiveness of electric vehicles in the eyes of consumers.
In addition, this type of charging stations has already proven its effectiveness in recharging buses. For example, in Turin, Italy, buses have been using wireless charging stations positioned along their routes for 10 years now.

A group statue of rugby league legends Martin Offiah, Alex Murphy, Billy Boston, Eric Ashton and Gus Risman is to be erected outside Wembley Stadium, it was announced on Thursday.
Rugby league, whose Challenge Cup final has been played at the national stadium since 1929, is only the second sport to be recognised by Wembley, with the five legends set to appear alongside Bobby Moore, captain of England's 1966 World Cup-winning football team.
The final choice was made by the RFL's board of directors from a shortlist assembled following a public vote and a number of selection panels comprising fans, journalists, coaches, players and MPs, and was announced at Wembley 48 hours before the 2012 final between Leeds and Warrington.
RFL chief executive Nigel Wood said: "The RFL board's view echoed that of the many thousands of people who were involved in the selection process in that the statue needed to be a group representation.
"So many players have contributed to the rich history of the sport and its association with Wembley and the board were keen that that should be reflected in the statue.
"Having Risman, Boston, Ashton, Murphy and Offiah all part of the statue means that every generation of the sport is celebrated."
Wembley Stadium managing director Roger Maslin said: "Wembley Stadium is inextricably linked with rugby league and most specifically the Challenge Cup.
"At Wembley Stadium we constantly strive to inspire memories and the players being honoured today have undoubtedly given their supporters and the wider sporting public as a whole plenty of memories to cherish."
Offiah, best remembered for his stunning length-of-the-field try for Wigan against Leeds in 1994, was shocked to discover he would form part of the statue.
"I couldn't believe it when I heard the news," he said. "I've said from the beginning that I'd be proud to support a rugby league statue at Wembley, no matter whom or what it was. But to know that I will be part of the statue is very special. This sits alongside anything that I achieved in my playing career. I'm immensely proud."
