Infant Olivia Costume
Are you sort of tired of that little piglet, yet?
Well, this might change your mind:
Yes, I did dress my 4-month-old boy up in a red tutu dress and tights. But isn't he adorable?!
I had a couple orders for infant Olivia costumes, and wanted to make sure they fit!! I also thought I would switch the costume up a little to be more age-appropriate.
I used soft, 100% organic cotton onesies for the bodice, and added the sailor collar, and some layers of red tulle for the skirt. I used this simple pattern to make sure the little footed tights ('cause this kid won't be walking:) and they turned out adorable.
The collar on these onesies (from H&M) button at the shoulder, so I made the collar out of cotton jersey and sewed it on with a stretch stitch, so that the opening still had it's ability to fit over a baby head, large as they are! Of course I still added those classic stars to the corners.
For the ears, I used a few inches of a pair of nude tights and added little stick-up ears of felt. The headband stretches right on and fits comfortably and stays in place.
Dressing up my boys is almost as fun as having a girl, and without the teen years:) It's the best of both worlds!
*I no longer make this costume to sell*

ADB-Solomon Islands Partnership Strategy
ADB's strategic focus on transport infrastructure and improving the business environment in the Solomon Islands remains relevant in the context of development challenges, government priorities, and the division of labor among development partners.
Creating an enabling environment for sustainable economic growth remains a challenge for Solomon Islands. ADB's transport infrastructure assistance and related capacity building are widely acknowledged as vital for rehabilitating the economy and providing access to basic services. Future projects and technical assistance will continue to support the Ministry of Infrastructure Development's transition to an asset management and contracting organization.
ADB will help improve internet connectivity and boost the country's renewable energy potential by providing power to provincial centers.
In 2012, ADB endorsed a new country partnership strategy (CPS) for 2012-2016. The CPS will continue to align with the government's development priorities as set out in the National Development Strategy (NDS) 2011-2020. Building on technical assistance supporting NDS formulation, ADB will continue to assist key central ministries in implementing the NDS.
Latest Country Strategies and Business Plans
The Public Communications Policy (PCP) recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to development effectiveness. It establishes the disclosure requirements for documents and information ADB produces or requires to be produced.
The Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB's operational policies and procedures.

Bishops of Jacobite Syrian Church stage sit-in
By Express News Service - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Published: 19th March 2013 10:22 AM
Last Updated: 19th March 2013 10:22 AM
The Jacobite Syrian Christian Church lined up 25 of its bishops and hundreds of priests in front of the Secretariat on Monday in protest against what it termed partiality shown by the Oommen Chandy Government to its rival faction, the Malankara Syrian Orthodox Church.
Jacobite Church Synod secretary Metropolitan Joseph Mor Gregorios inaugurated the sit-in and fast. Catholicos Baselios Thomas I, the head of the church, was present at the nearby St Peter's Jacobite Syrian Simhasana Church.
The Jacobite faction has accused the Government of aiding the Orthodox faction to deny them the right to worship and in closing down disputed churches. The Jacobite faction plans to step up agitations and organise a convention in Kottayam if justice continued to be denied to it.
The bishops who attended the fast included Mathews Mor Ivanios, Kuriakose Mor Theophilos, Mathews Mor Theodosios, Mathew Mor Aphrem, Geeverghase Mor Koorilos and Archbishop of the Knanaya Church Kuriakose Mor Severios.

With the buildup of ice and potential damage to trees as they begin to flex and potentially snap under the excessive weight, I had a couple "disturbing" thoughts. In the last few years we've almost seen it all, floods, drought, ice storms, and even blizzards. These natural events provide a degree of disturbance to natural systems. As one set of species is displaced another set are ready to respond and take advantage of new resources.
Floods are an easy example and something we can actually see. For example in 2011, we went out and sampled quite a few fish, salamanders, tadpoles, sirens, and bugs that were out and about and eating each other within the flooded forests of Duck Creek. During less historic events in the spring and fall, we often see waterfowl and shorebirds utilizing flooded areas. In fact, our management often simulates these natural events to capitalize on the bird use for public hunting opportunity.
Granted, ice storms aren't the first thing to come to mind when you think about habitat management. These are isolated events that don't occur every year. However, the effects of branches snapping endure and add to the long term forest structure. Light can penetrate to the forest floor and encourage seedlings that may now be released with a new canopy opening. Also, the damaged tree over time may heal and develop cavities that will become home to a variety of forest critters.
Hooded mergansers are one of my favorite forest dwellers. It is this time of year that they begin to select cavities to nest in for the year. In isolated flooded sloughs you'll see the male strutting around with his brilliant white crest on display and his drab gray and brown girlfriend paddling nearby. These Missouri breeders rely on the occasional icy disturbance to make sure there are enough "houses" on the market each spring.
This fall we received several band returns of our locally produced hooded mergansers. It is quite amazing the age and distribution of these harvested birds. A young bird that hatched out of a nest box in 2011 was harvested this January across the river at Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge. Earlier this fall we received a band return from a crusty old bird harvested all the way up in Minnesota. It lived to the ripe old age of 10, which is about the extent of a hooded mergansers life expectancy. Needless to say, we were surprised last month when we received another band return of an even older bird. This merganser was harvested down south in Webster Parish, Louisiana. Before becoming gumbo, this bird was hatched out and banded in the Mingo Basin in 2000 and lived a fish-full life of 13 years.
Often times I think about habitat conditions and waterfowl production seasonally or annually. However, this recent weather event and subsequent "disturbing" train of thought illustrates how we benefit from the long-term cycles of natural systems. An ice storm fifty years ago created the right conditions for a cohort of tree cavities, which has helped produce a number of hooded mergansers and wood ducks over the last 30 years. While some of these birds didn't make it very long or very far, others have flown up and down the flyway for years before ending up in the bottom of a pot with rice and a medley of other ingredients. Amazing or disturbing, I guess that depends upon your perspective.

Ask the Institute Archive
DATE: July 08, 2013 QUESTION:Can you describe the intricacies of the long straddle and why a trader may choose to execute this strategy? ANSWER:A straddle is a two-part strategy involving one call option and one put option. Both the call option and the put option will have the same strike price, the same expiration date, and the same underlying stock or index. One way to trade a straddle is to buy both options, which is called a "long" or purchased straddle. If a trader has a forecast that some pending announcement will cause the stock price to make a big price change, but is unsure if the change will be up or down, then buying a straddle may be a logical decision. To learn more about the long straddle strategy, view this week's segment of "Ask the Institute."

From the Section of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics (Drs Shah, Griffin, and Abrams), Section of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics (Dr Lifschitz), and US Department of Agriculture/Agricultural Research Service Children's Nutrition Research Center (Drs Shah, Griffin, Lifschitz, and Abrams), Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Tex.
To measure iron absorption in children from meals containing apple juice or orange juice so as to determine if iron absorption will be greater with orange juice because of its higher ascorbic acid content than apple juice, a noncitrus fruit juice that US children reportedly prefer.
On 2 successive days, children consumed identical meals that included apple juice on one day and orange juice on the other, in random order. The meals were labeled with iron-57 on one day and iron-58 on the other. Iron absorption was measured from red blood cell incorporation of the iron stable isotopes 14 days later.
Nutrition research institute in a major metropolitan medical center.
A total of 25 healthy children, 3 to 6 years of age, were recruited, of whom 21 (11 male and 10 female) completed the study.
Identical meals served with orange juice and apple juice were given on consecutive days, in a balanced randomized design.
Main Outcome Measures
Iron absorption measured by established stable isotope methods.
Median iron absorption from the meal ingested with apple juice was 7.17% (mean ± SD, 9.48% ± 9.68%). Median iron absorption from the meal ingested with orange juice was 7.78% (9.80% ± 6.66%; P = .44). Iron absorption from the meal that included apple juice was significantly correlated with serum ferritin concentration (P = .02); iron absorption from the meal that included orange juice tended to correlate with serum transferrin receptor concentration (P = .051).
As children absorb iron well from a meal that includes either orange or apple juice, a preference for apple juice does not pose a concern with regard to the prospect of iron-deficiency anemia, which remains a significant health problem in the United States.
IRON-DEFICIENCY anemia remains the most prevalent nutritional deficiency in the world1 and affects more than 2 billion people globally.2 In the United States, it is estimated that 8% of children aged 1 to 5 years are iron deficient.3 Iron-deficiency anemia has been associated with lower scores on tests of mental and motor functioning in toddlers4 and with worse school performance in adolescents.5 In humans, iron absorption can be greatly influenced by the presence of enhancers and inhibitors of iron absorption in the rest of the diet. Ascorbic acid can significantly increase iron absorption,6- 9 while phytate and calcium may inhibit it.9- 12
As children mature, their intake of foods and fruit juices becomes more diversified. A recent US Department of Agriculture study found that children are more likely to consume apple juice than orange juice.13 Apple juice contains far less ascorbic acid than orange juice, so this raises the question of whether such a preference adversely affects iron absorption and iron nutrition. Previous studies in children have suggested that ascorbic acid can increase iron absorption from a school breakfast in Peruvian children14 and from a chocolate-flavored milk drink in Jamaican children.15 However, apple and orange juices are complex beverages that differ in many ways. Substitution of one for the other does not, therefore, change solely ascorbic acid intake. Although one study in adults has suggested that iron absorption is lower when apple juice, vs orange juice, accompanies a meal,16 there are few data available on this important nutrition issue in children.
In this study, we compared the effect of apple juice, vs that of orange juice, on iron absorption in children consuming a meal. As apple juice naturally contains less ascorbic acid, we hypothesized that iron absorption would be higher with orange juice.
Twenty-five children, 3 to 6 years of age, were recruited from the greater Houston, Tex, area by public advertisement. A total of 21 children completed the study (11 male and 10 female). Children were considered eligible if they were 3 to 6 years of age, between the 5th and 95th weight-for-height percentiles, had no underlying medical problems, took no medications or vitamin supplements, and would drink both apple juice and orange juice. The Baylor College of Medicine Institutional Review Board approved the protocol, and informed written consent was obtained from the parent or guardian of each child before enrollment.
On the morning of the study, fasted subjects were admitted to the Metabolic Research Unit of the Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston. Height and weight were measured by standard clinical methods. They were given a meal of toast with jelly or butter, a choice of a noncitrus fruit, and 60 mL of low-pulp, non–calcium-fortified orange juice (Tropicana Products, Inc, Bradenton, Fla; ascorbic acid content, 39 mg/100 mL) or apple juice (Tree Top, Inc, Selah, Wash; ascorbic acid content, 1 mg/100 mL), to which 5 mg of aqueous ferrous sulfate enriched in either iron-57 (57Fe) or iron-58 (58Fe) had been added 12 to 18 hours earlier. Once this portion was consumed, a further 60 mL of the same juice was used to rinse the glass, and the children were encouraged to consume as much of this as possible. The children were then discharged home and required to fast for an additional 2 hours. The following day, the children were given a meal identical to the one consumed the previous day, but with the alternative juice labeled with the other isotope. The order in which the 2 juices were given was randomized, as was the isotope used to label each juice. The contents of the study meals were weighed at the start and end of the meal. Nutrient intake from the meals was calculated by means of the Minnesota Nutritional Data System (version 2.91, Food Database 12A, Nutrition Database 27; University of Minnesota, Minneapolis). Except for the test meals given on the first 2 study days, no other dietary intervention took place.
The children returned to the Metabolic Research Unit 14 days later, when 5 mL of blood was drawn for isotope ratios, a complete blood cell count, and measurement of ferritin and transferrin receptor levels. Iron absorption was measured by a well-described and validated method that used stable isotopes.17,18 Stable isotopes are naturally occurring, nonradioactive isotopes that can be used safely in any patient population.17
Iron-57 (95.82 atom percent) and 58Fe (93.13 atom percent) were purchased (Trace Sciences International Corp, Richmond Hill, Ontario) and converted to aqueous solutions of ferrous sulfate, as described previously.18 The fruit juices were labeled with 5 mg of the 57Fe-enriched tracer or 1.5 mg of the 58Fe-enriched tracer. In the latter case, 3.5 mg of nonenriched ferrous sulfate was added to ensure that the amount of ferrous sulfate added to the 2 juices was the same. The isotopes were drawn up into preweighed syringes and added to the juices 18 to 24 hours before use. The exact amount of isotope given was measured by the change in weight of the syringe.
Blood samples were collected by venipuncture into an EDTA-anticoagulated tube and a plain tube (no anticoagulant). A portion of the EDTA-anticoagulated sample was used to measure a complete blood cell count. The remainder was separated by centrifugation and prepared for iron isotope ratio analysis as previously described.18 Iron isotope ratios were measured by thermal ionization magnetic sector mass spectrometry (Finnigan MAT 261; Thermo Finnigan, Bremen, Germany). Data were expressed as 57Fe/iron-56 (56Fe) and 58Fe/56Fe ratios and corrected for differences in fractionation by means of the ratio of the 2 nonadministered isotopes, iron-54 (54Fe) and 56Fe. Three blocks of 10 scans each were made until the desired degree of precision was obtained (typically relative SD <0.2%). This method is similar to that used for reference analysis and is capable of high precision and accuracy for iron isotope ratio measurement.17
Serum was separated from the plain tube by centrifugation and stored at −20°C pending analysis. Serum ferritin concentration was measured with a solid-phase, 2-site fluoroimmunometric assay (DELFIA method; PerkinElmer Inc, Boston, Mass), and soluble serum transferrin levels were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Quantikine; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, Minn).
Iron isotope ratios were converted to tracer-tracee ratios (TTR) as described previously.19,20 Iron incorporation into red blood cells was calculated from the following equations18,21:
57Fe Incorporation = 100% × [(57Fe TTR × Fecirc)/Dose of 57Fe-Enriched Tracer];
58Fe Incorporation = 100% × [(58Fe TTR × Fecirc)/Dose of 58Fe-Enriched Tracer],
where Fecirc is the total amount of circulation hemoglobin iron, and is determined by the following formula19:
Fecirc (in milligrams) = Blood Volume × Hemoglobin Concentration × Body Weight × 3.47,
where Blood Volume is 65 mL/kg.
Iron incorporation was converted to fractional iron absorption on the basis of the assumption that 80% of absorbed iron was incorporated into red blood cells within 14 days; therefore,
Iron Absorption = Iron Incorporation/0.8.
The difference between iron absorption from the meal containing apple juice and that from the meal containing orange juice was examined by means of a paired t test. Serum ferritin concentrations were log-transformed (to the base 10) to normalize the distribution. Statistical analysis was carried out with StatView version 5.0.1 for Macintosh (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC). Results were considered significant at P = .05. Power calculations were carried out with DSTPLAN version 4.2 (University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston). Data for iron absorption are given as both the median and the mean ± SD. The effect of iron status on iron absorption was assessed by simple regression analysis. The proxy markers of iron status used were the hemoglobin concentration, serum ferritin concentration (before and after log transformation), the serum transferrin receptor concentration, and the serum ferritin–transferrin receptor ratio.
We expected an iron absorption of approximately 8% (SD, 4%). Assuming the smallest clinically significant decrease in iron absorption to be 3%, a sample of 20 was required to have an 80% power (β = .20) to detect such a difference at a P<.05 (α = .05). To allow for subject attrition, 25 subjects were recruited.
Twenty-five subjects were recruited, of whom 21 completed the study. An insufficient amount of blood was obtained from 2 subjects on day 14 for analysis. Another 2 subjects did not return for the day 14 visit. Demographic data representing the 21 subjects who completed the study are shown in Table 1. One subject was mildly anemic (hematocrit, 33.4%; hemoglobin level, 11.3 g/dL) and had unexpectedly high iron absorption. Results are expressed, and statistical analyses were carried out, both with and without this subject. The composition of the 2 meals, excluding the juices, was similar. However, when the juices were included, differences in ascorbic acid content and in several other nutrients were seen (Table 2).
Median iron absorption from the meal with apple juice was 7.17% (mean ± SD, 9.48% ± 9.68%). Median iron absorption from the meal with orange juice was 7.78% (9.80% ± 6.66%) and was not statistically different (P = .44 after log transformation; 95% confidence interval for difference, −1.54% to 3.50%). When the single outlier was excluded, results were similar, with a median iron absorption of 6.65% (7.63% ± 4.76%) from the meal with apple juice and 7.55% (9.82% ± 6.84%) from the meal with orange juice (P = .19 after log transformation; confidence interval for difference, −3.92% to 3.29%).
Neither iron absorption from apple juice (P = .50) nor that from orange juice (P = .82) was correlated with hemoglobin concentration. Iron absorption from apple juice was significantly negatively correlated with serum ferritin level (P = .02), logserum ferritin (P = .01), and the ferritin–transferrin receptor ratio (P = .02), but was not correlated with the serum transferrin receptor concentration (P = .99). In contrast, iron absorption from orange juice tended to increase as serum transferrin receptor concentration increased (P = .051) but was not correlated with the serum ferritin concentration (P = .67), logserum ferritin (P = .65), and the ferritin–transferrin receptor ratio (P = .45).
In this study, we used a stable isotope–based method to compare the absorption of iron from a meal accompanied by a non–ascorbic acid–fortified apple juice vs that from a meal accompanied by orange juice containing ascorbic acid. As the orange juice had greater ascorbic acid content than apple juice, we hypothesized that iron absorption would be greater from the meal given with orange juice. Contrary to our expectations, iron absorption was similar in children consuming meals that were accompanied by either apple or orange juice.
These results differ from those of a previous study by Fairweather-Tait et al7 in which a beverage containing ascorbic acid led to a 2-fold increase in iron bioavailability. Similarly, a study by Ballot et al16 showed that juices containing citric acid and ascorbic acid significantly increase iron absorption from a rice meal given to adult multiparous women.16 The different findings in these studies may reflect the age range studied, the amount of ascorbic acid used, or the ratio of ascorbic acid to inhibitors of iron absorption in the meals. In the study by Fairweather-Tait et al, the children were 9 months of age, and 50 mg of ascorbic acid was used. In the Ballot et al study, multiparous women were studied, and 28 to 38 mg of ascorbic acid was used. In our study of 3- to 5-year-old children, total ascorbic acid intake was approximately 35 mg.
The beneficial effect of ascorbic acid on iron absorption may be most apparent in meals with high levels of inhibitors of iron absorption. The largest effect in the study by Fairweather-Tait et al was seen in the meals containing whole-meal bread or beans, both of which have relatively high phytate content. Our meals, which reflected the type of meals eaten by children in the United States, contained relatively low amounts of phytate. Similarly, the effect seen in the study by Davidsson et al15 was seen in chocolate milk; bovine proteins and calcium have been shown to inhibit iron absorption.
In iron-deficient Mexican women, consumption of 50 mg of ascorbic acid per day as agua de limón (limeade) for 2 weeks significantly increased iron absorption.20 However, this population is very different from the one we studied in age, iron status, and diet. Addition of ascorbic acid to complex foods has been shown to increase iron absorption in Peruvian and Jamaican children,14,15 but there are more differences between apple and orange juices than ascorbic acid content.
One could speculate, therefore, that other ingredients present in apple juice may have a beneficial effect on iron absorption and counteract the effect of lower ascorbic acid levels. The apple juice in our study contained approximately 400 mg of malic acid per 100 mL of juice, whereas the orange juice contained negligible amounts. Some studies have shown malic acid to have a beneficial effect on iron absorption in adults.21 Although the effect of malic acid on nonheme iron absorption in children has not been studied, it is possible that malic acid or some other component of the apple juice counteracted the effect of the differing ascorbic acid concentration. Alternatively, the higher levels of zinc and copper in the orange juice meal may have impaired iron absorption and negated any beneficial effect of ascorbic acid. The point remains that substitution of apple juice for orange juice in the diet does not only result in a change in ascorbic acid intake.
Consumption of apple juice is increasing in the United States. A survey conducted by the US Department of Agriculture in 1994 found a large increase in total beverage consumption in the United States, the greatest of which was seen in noncitrus juices, especially apple juice.13 Although a number of studies in developing countries have shown that iron status improves as the intake of ascorbic acid in the diet increases, our study was on children in a developed country with generally good iron status, and we were not able to demonstrate a negative effect of apple juice consumption on iron absorption in this population.
Current dietary recommendations are that children consume 5 servings of fruit, juices, and vegetables daily. However, actual intakes are well below this level. Apple juice is well accepted by children; therefore, it is reassuring that consumption of apple juice, rather than orange juice, does not appear to have an adverse effect on iron absorption from the diet and can be encouraged as a healthy addition to the diets of preschool-aged children. However, it should be remembered that excessive amounts of apple juice can lead to abdominal pain and diarrhea, as its carbohydrate composition can lead to sugar malabsorption.22

Ascorbic acid enhances iron absorption. However, children reportedly prefer noncitrus juices (eg, apple juice), which contain little vitamin C, over citrus juices (eg, orange juice) with high vitamin C content. Previous studies have not established whether apple juice consumption by children reduces iron absorption, and thus increases the risk of pediatric iron deficiency, compared with consumption of orange juice.
This study demonstrates that young children absorb iron well from a meal that includes either apple juice or orange juice. Thus, our findings imply that a child's preference for apple juice over orange juice with a meal will not have an adverse effect on iron absorption or lead to iron-deficiency anemia, a significant health problem that persists worldwide.

Edgar Friedrichs quietly left the Interboro School District 41 years ago, and his principal wrote him a recommendation that was cryptic at best.
The fifth-grade teacher at Prospect Park Elementary had "fulfilled his teaching responsibilities" and had "a good rapport" with peers and parents, Robert Castle wrote. The letter concluded: "I would be happy to discuss any further observations with a prospective employer."
But none called.
Friedrichs had been allowed to quietly resign from the Delaware County school amid allegations that he molested some of his students, including a boy who said the teacher raped him in a book closet. Years later, and nearly 500 miles away, similar allegations surfaced.

OSHA News Release – Region 6
U.S. Department of Labor
Region 6 News Release: OSHA-05-773-DAL
Tue, May 3, 2005

Phone: (214) 767-4776, ext. 222 or 221
HOUSTON -- A Houston contracting company's alleged failure to properly train employees and follow safety standards has resulted in proposed penalties totaling $43,350 from the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Rudy's Contracting, an underground utilities contractor that employs about 17 workers, was cited for one alleged willful and 13 alleged serious violations following an inspection that began Nov. 4 at the company's worksite on Mystic Road and Beechnut in Houston. The inspection, which took place as part of a national emphasis program aimed at preventing trenching and excavation cave-in accidents, found that five employees were working in a 6-foot deep excavation without adequate shoring or sloping.
"Employers must follow health and safety standards to prevent injuries and fatalities," said Chuck Williams, director of OSHA's Houston South area office. "Fortunately, in this case, no one was injured."
The alleged willful violation was for failing to properly shore and slope the excavation walls. OSHA defines a willful violation as one committed with intentional disregard of or plain indifference to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
The alleged serious violations included failure to: provide workers with respirators; provide employees with sufficient ladders for access; provide personal protective equipment, in this situation hard hats and eye protection, and properly train employees on the dangers associated with hazardous substances. A serious citation is issued when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to comply, request an informal conference with the OSHA Houston South area director, or contest the citations and proposed penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Houston-area employers and workers with questions about safety and health standards can call OSHA's Houston South office at (281) 286-0583 or OSHA's toll-free hotline number at 1-800-321-6742 to report workplace accidents, fatalities, or imminent dangers.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health.

Product Details
We worked with one of the best Italian mills to make this easy boyfriend sweater. Not only is it supersoft, it also comes in completely custom colors and, if you treat it with love, it will last forever. Slightly oversized—so there's more to love—this one is made just for you (now you can stop stealing his).
Size & Fit Details
Italian featherweight cashmere V-neck boyfriend sweater
Rated 3.9 out of 5 by 15 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AAimone So Soft! Perfect weight, not too thick or too thin. Very Soft! Love the oh so slightly deeper V-neck. I am a 5'5", 34D, 135 lbs, and I kept the small but could have done the medium for of a more boyfriend look. April 9, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sheherazade Nice Very soft & comfy. The spice/rust color is exactly as pictured. I ordered my normal size, but the cut of this sweater is quite roomy so I'd exchange it for the next size down if I were going to keep it. I'm going to return it for a few reasons: a) the seam style visibly slants to the front, giving it a strange look & shape, b) the V-neck isn't as wide as pictured — it's more of a long, thin V-cut, and c) the sleeves, from just below the elbow down, are ribbed & cut very tightly to the arm, giving the whole sleeve a sort of strange drape. None of these things were visible in the photos. Other than this, which is really just a matter of personal taste, the sweater is cute & great quality. June 16, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by cecc beautiful sweater...odd color swatch I bought the heather baltic sweater. The fit and the weight are nice--it is so warm yet lightweight! I really love the sweater overall. However, I have an iMac (not sure if that has anything to do with it) and I felt the color swatch was misleading. On my screen it looks like a dark heathered blue. However, in person the sweater is more of a heathered GRAPE color. I kept it because I liked the grape-like color anyway, but I think the swatch could've been more accurate. March 8, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by MoeB Pilled the very first time I wore it I am hugely disappointed in this sweater. I've had to purchase an XS in the non-featherweight cashmere boyfriend sweaters, but the featherweight sweaters run small so I purchased a size small (I'm 5'6", 120 lbs, 34C). The small was quite fitted in at the hips and not very "boyfriend" anywhere else. The worst part was the low v-neck. The v came down to the middle of my chest - great for showing off cleavage, but not so great if you have "ribbage". But the worst part was the pilling. The sweater pilled where my shoulder bag touched the sweater, the underside of the arms, and also on the back (presumably from where the sweater touched my car seat). The quality of J. Crew cashmere has consistently been poor over the past few years, but this is the absolute worst. I will continue to purchase merino wool and cotton sweaters from J. Crew, but I am finished with the cashmere (featherweight or not). September 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by eginga Swatch color for sunset pink and dusty mauve I believe the swatches names for sunset pink and dusty mauve are reversed. I say this because I was interested in the dusty mauve color upon seeing it in the most recent catalog but was hesitant upon making a purchased because the soft mauve pink swatch, That i would have thought to be dusty Mauve, is called "sunset pink" while the brighter rosy pink swatch is called " dusty mauve". This does not match how the colors are labeled in the catalog. So maybe the names were switched by mistake ? I also searched "dusty mauve " on the website under women's category and was presented with more confidence that an error was made in the swatch labeling for this color for the featherweight cashmere v neck boyfriend sweater. Sweater is great though! Tried on the heather ash in store. Really soft and light weight. February 11, 2015

Wood National Cemetery fixes location of 32 misplaced headstones
Mistakes found during review of veterans burial site
A recent audit at Wood National Cemetery in Milwaukee - Wisconsin's only national veterans cemetery - discovered that 32 graves had misplaced headstones.
The wrong headstones were on veterans graves in six sections of the cemetery, mostly from people buried in the 19th century or early 1900s. The most recent was buried in 1992 and the oldest buried in 1881.
All of the mismarked graves now have the correct headstone.
"The mission is to ensure every veteran is buried with honor, dignity, respect and compassion," said Wood National Cemetery director Al Richburg, who took over the job in July shortly before the second phase of the audit was done.
"Even though it was done prior to my arrival, I take full responsibility for any issues, and it's my job to take care of any discrepancies that exist."
The National Cemetery Administration conducted the audit in two phases last year of headstone and marker placements at national cemeteries operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Audit results were released in February. Wood was included in the randomly selected list of a dozen cemeteries of varying sizes for the audit, according to a spokeswoman for the Office of Inspector General.
Once Richburg learned of the 32 errors, he contacted as many families as he could by phone and certified letter in early February. As of Wednesday, he had not heard back from any families. He declined to release the names of the veterans with mismarked graves because he did not have permission from next of kin, but he did say many of the errors were from headstones mixed up with nearby graves.
Richburg attributed the mismarked headstones to work done at the cemetery to raise and realign markers that tip or sink in the shifting earth. When workers raise and realign headstones, the granite markers are removed and sod is placed on top of the burial plot. Richburg said it's likely the errors happened when workers returned the headstones and placed some markers on the wrong grave.
"The headstones were pulled to put down new turf, and they were misplaced when they were put back," said Richburg, an Army veteran from South Carolina whose son is an artillery officer in Afghanistan.
Though raising and realigning are done throughout the cemetery year-round, the last major renovation was done in 2010-'11 when at least 800 graves were renovated. Richburg didn't know how long the wrong headstones had been on the graves.
De Witt Woodworth, Wisconsin VFW state commander, was upset to hear of the headstone errors.
"Shame on us because we should never let that happen. That is really bad," said Woodworth, a Navy veteran. "I'm glad they found it. I'm sorry it had to take a national audit."
Woodworth, who knew veterans buried at Wood, said cemetery workers should have kept better track of the headstones when they were removed and then placed back on graves.
"I don't care if they were buried 200 years ago, if there was a marker on that grave, it should still be there and he should be honored with a proper burial site," Woodworth said Thursday. "It's sovereign ground wherever they're buried. They served this country honorably and should be buried honorably and it should continue to be that way."
Wayne Jensen, American Legion state commander in Wisconsin, had not heard of the headstone errors until contacted by a reporter.
"I'm concerned but not alarmed. I would reserve that for after I did the proper follow-up on it to give Wood an opportunity to explain what happened. By and large over the years they have done a fantastic job," said Jensen, a Vietnam veteran who served in the Navy.
Wood National Cemetery, which has sometimes been referred to as the Arlington National Cemetery of the Midwest, has more than 38,000 graves on the 50-acre site dating back to 1871. The cemetery, which includes veterans of every war fought by Americans, is no longer accepting burials except for spouses of people already buried at Wood, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan veterans killed in action.
Last summer, the National Cemetery Administration audit reviewed 25,531 grave sites at Wood using maps and computerized burial information as well as checking each grave marker and comparing names with the graves on either side and behind and front. Maps are updated each month at the cemetery and all maps, even those from the 1800s, are stored at the cemetery's office.
A U.S. House Veterans Affairs subcommittee is to meet Thursday for an update on the audit of national veterans cemeteries.
The Department of Veterans Affairs maintains 3.2 million graves in 131 national cemeteries and interred more than 118,000 veterans and family members in fiscal year 2012. The agency decided to review headstones and markers to make sure they were at the proper location.
The "VA strives to operate the best cemetery system in the world. That is why we self-initiated this review of our entire cemetery system," Glenn Powers, National Cemetery Administration deputy undersecretary for field programs, said in a statement. "While the error rate is low overall, one error is one too many."
Wood now averages five burials weekly, mostly World War II, Korea and Vietnam veterans, whose spouses have already died and been buried there. Veterans buried at Wood National Cemetery are provided a free headstone and burial plot in recognition of their service.
Richburg vowed to closely monitor future restoration work to make sure the correct headstones are placed back on graves.
"We apologize greatly to the families for this occurring," said Richburg.

The recent and price matching guarantee by retailerz like Target ensurez that AMZN businezz model of revenue growth is coming to an end. Who waitz for 2 dayz or more and be afraid of conterfietz, damaged goodz, and return shipping, when you can go to your local Target or Wallmart or Best Buy and get the product for the same price. Once the state tax advantage is gone, people will not buy much from AMZN at all. They are trailing the competition in almost everything else they do ( including kindle, streaming moviez. etc. etc..). The Institutions holding this PIG already realized that. That is why all analystz are coming out and upgrading it, to pump it up so that the poor retail pumperz buy it while they unload.

$13.59The paradox of awareness is very profound and yet very simple. It can't be described because it has no objective qualities and no limitation. Sometimes it comes naturally to the surface when we are fully in the present moment and no longer lost in thought or mental projections.

Don't Believe Everything You Think
Living with Wisdom and CompassionIt can be hard for those of us living in the twenty-first century to see how fourteenth-century Buddhist teachings still apply. When you're trying to figure out which cell phone plan to buy or brooding about something someone wrote about you on Facebook, lines like "While the enemy of your own anger is unsubdued, though you conquer external foes, they will only increase" can seem a little obscure.

The Foundation of Buddhist Thought, Volume 1
The Foundation of Buddhist Thought (Book 1)The four noble truths are well known as the Buddha's first and most essential explanation of his enlightened realizations.

In The Four Noble Truths, Geshe Tashi draws on his decades of training in

Like all of its genus members, P. beiranus has parotoid glands which are not prominent and do not form a continuous platform with the top of the head. As a genus diagnostic this toad lacks any dorsal hourglass patternation, and no conspicuous tarsal fold. Again, as with all genus members the ventral skin is granular. The inner metatarsal is inconspicuous and not flanged for burrowing. There are no adhesive terminal discs on either the fingers or toes. There are no hard claws and eye pupils are never vertical (Du Preez et al. 2009).

back in stock "Garry Bradbruy, former bass player for Dynamite Lobster and one half of Severed Heads, is quite a card. His reputation proceedes him. Often refered to as the Ma Kettle of the Sydney underground electronic music scene and despite years of compulsory daytime tv, he emerges triumphant yet again to fry our lug holes with a new and remarkable offering. The current CD, entitled Instant Oblivion, is his most compelling document to date. It has success written all over it. No....really. It is an eclectic collection of colourful and spritely ditties. Plumb the depths of the luscious abyss. Soar to new heights of exquisite musical epiphany. Lull mindlessly in the psychedelic vortex that is Bradbury." (label info)

1994 Toyota Corolla Sedan DX 4dr Sedan
Best car that I have ever owned.
1994 Toyota Corolla Sedan LE 4dr Sedan
very reliable. has 63000 miles on it and i have driven almost all of it. done long drives of 250 miles a day on it and never given any problems.
simple and easy to understand controls and instrumentation
more leg room would be appreciated
I bought my 94 corolla DX back in 07, my aunt was going to buy a brand new camery and the dealership was only going to give her $1,400 on trade for her corolla. me at the time was driving a 99 kia sportage wich when i bought it i really thought it was a very nice looking suv. but thats all that was good about my sportage. it was a money pit! so I bought this corroalla from my aunt wich she had bought this car brand new. it only had like 104,000 miles on it and like 14 yrs old at the time. and @187,000 and no plans of trade in no leaks uses no oil how ever i did change the oil from reg. 10-30 to 10-30 synthetic blend. great car not afraid to take it anywhere.
1994 Toyota Corolla Sedan 4dr Sedan
thank you 1994 toyota corolla for saving my life!i bought in 2009 with 165.000 on her. had untill today 1-11-11 and those were some of the best moments of my life!fun to drive, great maneuvering, awsome on gas $20 lasted 2weeks easy with the 10 gallon tank. very reliable, would of drove her cross country if i could. but today is the end of it all when somone didnt yeild at the end of the offramp, and cutting off a four lane st rt, which basicly means i t boned her in the side. i seen her coming and hit the brakes (with this ohio snow you dont stop so good) and its over. but after 17 yrs, the factory airbags did thier trick and saved our lives. thank you toyota for all the great times
great on gas!, great in snow( i went places 4x4;s got stuck in!!!!!!!!!!!) fun to drive, easy to work on (believe it or not)
for the year, it was made, it wasa great value
Bought it with 40k, now at 160k with only standard repairs needed- alternator, radiator. Alternator kept needed to be replaced after the first one, but that is apparently not that unusual for rebuilt ones. One of the rear door handles didn't work from the outside, had it fixed once but happened again. Overall: super reliable, not super fast but still fun to drive (5 speed manual), great mileage.
Reliability, mileage.
Not super comfy on long trips especially for passengers.

Jewish talent won some and lost some at the Golden Globe Award ceremonies, Jan. 16 in Beverly Hills, auguring a mixed outlook for the upcoming Oscar nominations.
The best news is that Israeli-born Natalie Portman waltzed off as best actress in the drama category for her impressive turn as a tortured ballerina in "The Black Swan."
"The Social Network," the gripping, if somewhat skewed, story of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, won for best drama, but its star, Jesse Eisenberg, lost out to best actor winner Colin Firth, who portrayed England's stuttering George VI in "The King's Speech."
"Social Network" won additional honors for screenwriter Aaron Sorkin for best screenplay. Sorkin beat out, among others, Britain's David Seidler, who provided the inspiration and script for "The King's Speech."
Seidler's paternal grandparents perished in the Holocaust.
In the comedy or musical category, Paul Giamatti, who is not Jewish, emerged as best actor for his spot-on portrayal of the very Jewish producer Barney Panofsky in "Barney's Version."
The movie is based on the novel of the same title by Canadian Jewish author Mordecai Richler.
Denmark's "In a Better World" won the prize for best foreign-language film. Israel's Oscar entry, "The Human Resources Manager," did not place among the five Globe finalists.
For the first time since the end of World War II, no movie or documentary dealing with the Holocaust or the Nazi era was submitted for either Golden Globe or Academy Award consideration.
