Secrets for a stress-free ski holiday
- 16 Jan, 2015
- No Comments
Let's face it, ski holidays are not known for being the most relaxing holidays. Compared with your list of essentials for a beach holiday, when you look at what you need to take with you for skiing you can see straight away that it is more complicated than a holiday lying on a beach reading a good book! The journey is generally more stressful too – long, uncomfortable transfers to get up the mountains to your ski resort, unpredictable weather conditions and endless traffic jams are what are often in store. For some expert advice we teamed up with Snowplaza who kindly put together some helpful tips to make your ski holidays as stress-free as possible.
Packing for ski holidays
Before you've even gone anywhere, the challenge starts with what to pack for your ski holidays. In comparison to summer holiday packing, this task can seem rather daunting – especially if you're travelling with kids! Once you've laid out your 6 pairs of ski socks, 6 thermal tops, 6 roll-necks, 6 fleeces, ski goggles, ski gloves and a bobble hat for everyone, you'll probably be wondering if hiring a van and driving might be a more sensible option!
Ski gear is, for obvious reasons, bulky. However, there are certain items that you can cut down on. For example, you really don't need 6 bulky fleeces – as they are not in contact with your skin, you can live without a clean one each day! However, NEVER go skiing with any less than a fresh pair of ski socks per day – anyone who skis will know why! Read More

Amazing New York City street photographer Clay Benskin recently gave a great interview with The Phobolographer where he talks all about shooting on the New York City streets. When asked where he likes to shoot, Benskin said:
I do have a few places that I go to again and again. Williamsburg is one of my favorites places, I love the old-world feel when it's done right. I also just discovered Willets Point in Queens – I read somewhere that their trying to close it down, so I try to go every weekend for few minutes to shoot, there's a certain beautiful grittiness to that place. When I'm feeling bold I like to go to the Bronx, Harlem. Then there are the obvious places like 5th Avenue, Chinatown and Soho. New York is like a goldmine for Street Photographers!
Benskin posts most of his shots on Instagram, including all of these incredible photos. Enjoy.

Will Securadyne be the next Convergint?
That's a possibility, according to Bill Bozeman, CEO of PSA Security. Bozeman has experience building a systems integration firm and knows both of the players in the Securadyne/Intelligent Access Systems deal that was announced yesterday.
In case you missed it, Securadyne, a start-up integrator founded by Carey Boethel and Pamlico Capital in early 2012, yesterday announced that it has acquired Ron Oetjen's company, Intelligent Access Systems, one of the most successful and fastest growing regional integrators in the country. Here's the a link to the story.
I talked to Bozeman today about the deal. He offered his opinion of the union and also discussed the stages of growth for integration companies—and the new challenges that come along with those different stages.
"I know both guys [Carey and Ron] well very well. They're both PSA Security equity partners and owners. The consolidation, from our perspective, appears to be a good solid one. Carey is building a hell of a company with Securadyne; it looks to be the next Convergint, [and] congratulations to him [for that]," Bozeman said. Convergint is not a member of the PSA Security flock, but Bozeman praised [Convergint Technologies' CEO Dan Moceri] for building a very solid company.
Bozeman identified three growth-stage milestones for integration companies and the specific challenges that arise when companies grow past a certain stage. Those milestones occur when a company reaches: A.) $3 to $5 million in revenue; B.) $10 - $15 million in revenue, and C.) $50 million in revenue.
To get to $3 to $5 million in revenues you need to be a strong, entrepreneurial company, but to become a larger company, "You can no longer do everything yourself. You have to have a management team to help you with sales, technical and finance decisions," he said. "This is a stage that a lot of companies can't or don't want to get past," he said. The reason? They may be happy making a nice living and being the entrepreneur in charge, Bozeman said.
The next stage of growth hits when a company is doing $10 to $15 million in revenue. "They normally have more than one office and they need infrastructure. To get to the next level you need to hire well paid management people, and that can put a strain on profits of a company unless they're well financed, which is unusual for most integration companies, or if they have a solid RMR model," Bozeman explained. He also noted that Ron Oetjen had already successfully moved IAS past this stage.
The third stage of growth is at around $50 million. "That's when you really start to need a CEO and a senior management team made up of VPs that are experienced and are well paid," Bozeman said.
"Carey has already been president of Netversant and Siemens. He's the ideal guy [to shepherd this company along] because he already knows what it's like to run a company that's $70 to $100 million or $200 million and beyond [in revenues]," Bozeman said.
"Carey's a polished, senior level business guy who's experienced on the large corporate side as well as on the entrepreneurial side. … And with Ron he's got a super field general [who brings with him] a strong middle-management team. Put that with Carey's existing team and you have a nice equation for further success."
Bozeman said it's very important that Securadyne has a financial partner that knows the security business. "That's an advantage," he said. Pamlico Capital is a $2 billion Charlotte, N.C.-based middle-market private equity group. Pamlico was an investor in Sonitrol, but exited when that company was sold to Stanley Works in 2008.Not all capital partners understand the security integration business, Bozeman noted.
Of course, Bozeman said, growing a national integration company is not an easy thing to do. "The proof will be in the pudding."
WESTMINSTER, Colo.—PSA Security Network has appointed Barbara Shaw as its new director of education, according to a news release.
PSA TEC is in full swing. The action started on Sunday night, but I arrived late on Monday. Yesterday I spent the day (Tuesday) talking to PSA Security integrators and members and attending four different educational sessions.
I attended the State of the Industry panel, moderated by PSA Security CEO Bill Bozeman and featuring a large group of integrators and industry experts; a discussion on Big Data, Business Resiliency and Physical Security moderated by Chris Peckham of Kratos; a session on security finance moderated by Bozeman; and a session on how to adopt managed services, moderated by Sharon Shaw, of Integrators Support.
These folks covered a lot of ground. I'll be writing more in-depth stories on some of the topics covered, but below are some highlights from the day.
Haves and have-nots
Bozeman started the first session of the day quoting Imperial Capital's Jeff Kessler, who in a recent report wrote that increasingly the world of systems integration is dominated by the "haves" and the "have-nots." The "have" have an RMR base, are making a good margin on jobs, and are profitable. The have-nots have not moved into managed services and are surviving on installation revenue. Bozeman agreed with Kessler, recommended all read his report, and spent a great deal of time in this session and others talking about how all PSA Security integrators can join the "haves."
Know your verticalsPhil Aronson of Aronson Security Group, Ron Oetjen of Intelligent Access, and Eric Yunag of Dakota Security all said "deep focus" on your vertical markets is key. Yunag, whose Dakota Security is growing rapidly, said that his company made a strategic misstep 7 or 8 years ago when it decided to expand outside of the financial vertical. Banks are something that Dakota had grown to know very very well. The mistake the company made was not the fact that it expanded outside of that vertical, but it did so without the focus and understanding of other verticals.
The message from integrators on the panel was this: Focusing on different verticals is good, but get to know them. And don't delve into too many. How many verticals should an independent integrator focus on? Three, most agreed.
Mad about channel conflict? Look withinAnother topic that came up was the problem of channel conflict and manufacturers going direct to end users. Jim Henry of Kratos, said it's important for systems integrators to remember that manufacturers who go direct to end users fail. However, he noted, "it's important that and end user sees you as a value, not a middleman making a margin." Yunag added that if an end user is going direct in your coverage area "that's your failure as a systems integrator." You need to know what's happening in your region, and if this kind of stuff happens take a look at your own organization.
Government OpportunityDon Erickson, CEO of SIA, was banging the drum about the opportunity for integrators who want to do business with the federal government. Despite sequestration and budget problems, money is in the pipeline for K-12 projects, ports, transportation. "Consider the GSA Schedule program, it's a very effective contract vehicle for doing business with the federal government."
How to build an effective business?During the State of the Industry, Ron Oetjen of Intelligent Access Systems broke it down this way: hire the right people and focus on your strategic plan. Later, during a finance educational session that got pretty granular about how to make your business attractive to buyers, Kratos' Jim Henry said that the businesses that he's attracted to are the ones that are not for sale, the ones with a "clear vision and a mission."
Boston bombing and video surveillanceIn the aftermath of the Newtown gun massacre and the Boston Marathon bombing, Yunag said that now is a "significant watershed for our industry and the services we provide … in the next five to ten years, the way video surveillance is used will change," he predicted. The general public has seen, particularly with Boston, how video surveillance can be useful. Jim Henry said that the incident clearly demonstrated how video can be used for "actionable intelligence and business intelligence." Further, he said, it's important to note that the ability to find the suspect was not because the camera in question was a certain quality or manufacturer, but because it was a "well positioned camera installed by a professional." This horrific event showed the world how video can be used, Yunag said, and it's incumbent on integrators now to have those conversations with law enforcement and others about how they can best take advantage of video and other physical security offerings to help prevent and detect situations like these.
There are many more highlights that I'll report on later, now I need to get to the conference.
WESTMINSTER, Colo.—Robert Bastida, regional safety and security manager at Google, will deliver the keynote address at PSA Security Network's PSA-TEC 2013, according to a company statement.
I caught the last two days of the PSA Security Convention which took place on Florida's panhandle in Destin, Fla., this week.
About 30 of North America's top security integrators attended this annual event. On Monday morning PSA sponsored an educational session about time management.
I know, it sounds dry, but it wasn't.
The moderator, Paul Boucherle, asked attendees if they knew the dollar amount for hour's time for the following positions: a tech on the road; a salesperson; service guys?
The answer, of course, was yes, yes and yes. But when he asked "What's an hour of your time [company owner/executive management] worth?" The answers were more tentative.
"You have all the metrics in the world, except this one," Boucherle said.
Boucherle did offer a formula to determine an owner's hourly value [net profit or equity contributions, divided by the number of equity owners, divided by 160] but his point was that your time is worth a lot, and you need to ensure that you're spending it as wisely as you would any other business expenditure.
It's important to determine high-value time investment versus low-value time investment and allocate your time accordingly, he said.
Time doing someone else's work or getting involved in minutiae is low-value time, he pointed out, so delegate.
It'll give you more time for high-value work, build your team's competency, build your team's confidence and ability to work together, he said.
He discussed the challenge and necessity of letting go of control for business owners, saying you've got to keep your ego in check. And while you should expect accountability, you need to allow your team to make and learn from mistakes.
Of paramount importance in all this is a business owner's ability to communicate. He advised taking time to understand your personal communication style and the style of your employees and then setting up "structured time" for communicating, going through problems, etc. Kind of like professors' office hours in college … lots of seemingly basic stuff that it seemed like many in the room hadn't spent time thinking about in a while.
The talk stimulated some interesting discussion at PSA Convention—and, unlike many business meetings I attend--it wrapped up before the scheduled time.
PHILADELPHIA—For the second year in a row, the educational program at the ASIS International Conference will include a special track geared to system integrators. The conference will take place here Sept. 10-13.
WESTMINSTER, Colo.—Thinking about selling your systems integration company this year? What kind of price can you expect for your business?
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Access control and security management systems provider AMAG Technology expanded its annual consultant event this year to include a handful of select integrators.
I spent the past two days at AMAG Technology's Security Engineering Symposium here in St. Petersburg, Fla.
It was the 11th annual AMAG SES event, with about 90 consultants in attendance. "We handpick the best consultants in the industry and invite them here," AMAG director of business development Jody Ross told me. More consultants than ever before attended, she said, and about "45 to 50 percent of them were new faces."
According to informal surveys at the event, business is good these days for the consultants. Eighty percent of consultants said they're working on new business currently, as opposed to more jobs for existing clients. In a show of hands, about 75 percent said they are "busy or very busy" and about 40 percent say they're looking to hire more consultants.
Ed Chandler of Security by Design, a frequent attendee at this event, said he checked up on improvements included in the new version (V7.1) of AMAG's Symmetry access control and security management system. He also views the event as an opportunity to give product feedback to AMAG and other manufacturing partners who attend the event, he said.
Coincidentally, I'd just interviewed Ed's wife and business partner, Lorna Chandler, last week. She will be SSN's featured specifier in our "Specifically Speaking" column in the April issue of SSN. Each month, we do a Q & A with a different specifier, (supplied to SSN by SecuritySpecifiers.com), and I also had a chance to meet three other specifiers in person who are alumni of the SpecificallySpeaking column (Michael Crocker, Mark Peterson and Ted Wheaton)
AMAG's manufacturing partners this year, included HID and Stentofon, which have both been at all 11 AMAG SES symposiums. Dan Rothrock of Stentofon demoed a new (extremely audible) audio product called "Turbine."
One point emphasized by Rothrock and AMAG at the event is that both are typically considered ideal for enterprise solutions, but both offer solutions for smaller applications,—that's fewer than 16 readers for AMAG, and for Stentafon, "a two to 16-station IP-solution that doesn't need a server or software licenses," Rothrock said.
Hawkeye Technologies showcased its Harmony web-based solution that enables users to interface with AMAG's Symmetry solution using any device with a web browser.
SRI International Sarnoff showed off its iris-readers, a walk-by solution and a handheld solution. I saw a demo where a guy's iris was recognized when he was wearing tri-focal sunglasses. It's not cheap, the readers run around $2,800 for the stationary readers and $20,000 for the handheld, but the price has come down substantially, and these guys claim that their solution—because it works at some distance (relative to other solutions) —is more valuable. Plus, they say it's the most accurate biometric next to retinal scans and Stephen Piro, business development director for SRI said: "administration and recurring ownership cost is extremely low." It's been implemented at an athletic facility at Auburn University and elsewhere. Niche-y but cool stuff.
Assa Abloy brought its demo bus to the event. The focus was on its wireless lock lines, which I'd seen at ASIS and ISC West last year, and its new resi phones-unlocking doors solution—a collaboration between Verizon and Yale, which was introduced at the CES show in January, and some say may migrate into the commercial world.
NEC's Miguel Llerena told me that specifiers and integrators need to take more of an interest in the "how virtualization will play a role in this industry. They need to be aware and prepared," he said.He said he's working on eight access control systems, AMAG and others, that use a virtualized server. "Virtualization will happen first, then private cloud and then the public cloud," he predicted, and suggested that integrators get certified on VM ware or other virtualization platform.
Other partners at the event included Innometriks, Intransa, Milestone, and Winstead.
AMAG's Tina Seraphin, who joined the company one year ago and is spearheading the company's new professional services offerings, described the program, which she said was launched in response to requests from consultants. I'll have more on this, but it's an extensive, structured program that provides a variety of extra support for integrators. "More frequently, we're finding consultants are writing into specifications that professional services must be included in the project," Jody Ross said. "It's a safeguard, an extra layer … everyone can sleep better at night." There were also about 19 integrators at the AMAG event, as well as PSA Security's Bill Bozeman. This is the second year that integrators have been invited to attend some of the consultant sessions yesterday and to participate in a kind of mini-conference which is scheduled to take place today (March 7). They'll hear from AMAG and AMAG partners, but they'll also have a consultant/reseller panel discussion and break-out sessions.
AMAG did this with five resellers last year, and decided to expand the number of integrators this year. The discussion will focus on the best ways to work together, Ross said. Last year both the consultants and integrators said it was "valuable to get input from the other side," she said.
One integrator, Dan Kilgore of RFI Communications, attended consultant sessions on March 6 and was looking forward to the joint sessions today.
"I wanted to hear what they are being presented with and what we'll be presented with tomorrow. If I can understand how they get to their frame of mind, that might help me to be a better resource to them," he said. While it's important to maintain a separation between the consultant and integrator, the two professions "oftentimes live in separate vacuums," and that's not helpful for integrator, specifier, end user or manufacturer, he said.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico—The CEO of a successful independent integration firm is likely a great manager, but is he or she a great leader? Maybe, but not necessarily, said PSA Security CEO Bill Bozeman on Oct. 24, when he announced the launch of a new training program for integrators called PSA Security Leadership Institute.

Rush and the team get called to an aging hotel being converted to condos when Ally's bones are found in an old incinerator. Just before Ally disappeared, she was being recruited by a gem smuggler and it looks as if he might have arranged her death to cover his tracks. But the smuggler has an alibi, so Rush focuses more on the realities behind Ally's life: women were second class citizens in this seemingly glamorous world, and could get fired if they didn't maintain weight, got married, rebuffed a pilot's advances or turned 33. Ally was leading the charge to fight the establishment but her determination irritated the pilots she worked with as well as her fellow stews.

The population size of emperor penguins at the land-based Taylor Glacier colony was monitored over 54 years from 1957 to 2010 by intermittent ground counts from 1957 to 1975 and annual photographic counts from 1988 to 2010 of males attending the colony in winter and chicks in early summer. The breeding population in the early years averaged 3,684 ± 492 pairs compared with 2,927 ± 320 pairs from 1988–2010, a reduction of 20.5 %. The exact timing and magnitude of the change is unknown because there was a 13-year gap between the end of the historical counts and start of the contemporary counts. From 1954 to 2010 no real or inferred warming event that may have been linked to the decrease was evident at Australia's Mawson station, 95 km from Taylor Glacier colony. From 1988 to 2010, variation in breeding population size and breeding success were not related to variation in the distance between the colony and open water. In this period, the number of pairs breeding fluctuated annually and overall showed signs of a gradual decrease. The Taylor Glacier colony is one of only three emperor penguin colonies where populations have been monitored in winter over the long term. Given the threat of climate warming to the future of this ice-dependent species it is imperative that the annual monitoring programme at Taylor Glacier continues well into the future.

Still not satisfied? Perhaps the stables, paddocks and walled swimming pool might whet the appetite. But no. So far, nobody wants to buy this glorious country pile.
Why? Perhaps because the only people able to afford the £1.95m asking price are businessmen worried that something in the fortunes of its former owner might rub off on them.
For this is The Oasts, home to Michael Bright, larger-than-life former chief executive of collapsed Independent Insurance. Throughout most of the 1990s, the underwriter-made-good was the toast of the City and the most admired entrepreneur in the insurance world - giving brokers the chance to fight back against that other famous insurance millionaire, Direct Line's Peter Wood.
Bright's fall into bankruptcy and the demise of the Independent empire came as a seismic shock to the staid industry. Now, creditors are hungry for the proceeds from the sale of Bright's marital home in the picturesque village of Smarden. But FPD Savills in Sevenoaks, which put the property up for sale in the summer, is still looking for bidders.
Likewise, his luxury apartment in Wapping - a few minutes' drive from the City's London Underwriting Centre and a favourite party spot for Bright and his favoured contacts. Its £1.25m price tag was knocked down to just above £1m before being taken off the market due to lack of interest while the Brights and their creditors take stock. His Spanish villa is still being valued, with the paperwork being pored over by legal teams.
'The market for top end properties has clearly gone against us,' said Bright's trustee in bankruptcy, Phillip Sykes of accountants Moore Stephens.
Catherine and Michael Bright jointly own The Oasts, although NatWest has a £750,000 mortgage outstanding on the property. The Brights are as keen to sell as the creditors because they are funding the repayments out of Bright's £3m pension, which he is allowed to keep. HSBC is trying to recoup £4m lent to Bright to buy shares in his company, part of which was secured against his now worthless 6% stake in Independent. The Inland Revenue also has a claim.
So far, Sykes has sold only Bright's trademark red E-Type Jaguar for £20,000 and a number of life insurance policies thought to be worth about £100,000. The creditors have a long wait on their hands.

Gina Robinson died of blunt force trauma back in April of 2014, but the case won't be heard now until 2018. That's because the accused, husband Gilbert Robinson, has made a habit of firing his lawyer just ahead of the trial date.
While out on bail he's pulled this, which some people are calling a 'tactic', now twice, most recently last week.
Friend of Gina's, Lori McConnell told Global news that she's dismayed that this has been allowed to happen.
"I'm shocked that this can even be happening. That…2018. It's absurd that we have to wait this long, and especially for these reasons. The crown is ready to go, the case is ready. So, it's being delayed for stall tactics."
McConnell said it's been a rough go.
"There's witnesses that are putting their lives on hold. The family has put everything on hold waiting for this to end. We just have to dig in and say, 'we're doing this for you,' we have to."
President of the Criminal Trial Lawyers' Association Kelly Dawson said this sort of ploy is common, although the accused cannot then use the delay to push for a right-to-speedy-trial dismissal.
He added, the judge ultimately has control over how to proceed.
"So, if there's a pattern of discharging a lawyer at the last second, and the court concludes this is a tactic as opposed to perhaps an honest disagreement between council and client as to how to run the case, the court may say, 'no, you're abusing the process. This case is proceeding, I'll help you as best I can.'"
In circumstances like these, Dawson said, it's up to the judge whether or not to proceed.
"It's allowed, in proper circumstances to ensure the accused gets a fair trial. Somebody's charged with sexual assault or a murder case, it's in front of a jury, the reality of them being able to effectively represent themselves is very very low."
For the next two years, at least, Gilbert Robinson will remain free on bail.

VISITORS to the StudyUK Exhibition, to be held on Nov 13 at The Empire Hotel & Country Club, may not be sure of how to benefit most from attending the exhibition.
A student who is well prepared with questions to ask and who has already done the background work will find the visit to the exhibition to be extremely fruitful – this could be the one and only chance to personally meet the university representative and if the student wants to visit as many booths as possible, a structured interview format will save considerable time to gather valuable information to help with future career aspirations.
Students should have a good understanding of the career they have in mind. This knowledge will help him understand the various modules the university delegate is discussing and also what the course entails, a press release stated.
A list of specific questions the student wants to discuss with the university staff member is also very useful.
Well thought out questions will help the student structure the discussion and will ensure that all his queries are answered. This will also help compare the replies from different universities.
Students should also ask about the facilities available – libraries, sports facilities, clubs/associations, Brunei student society etc. The student should bear in mind that he will be spending a considerable amount of time at his chosen institution, and he wants to make sure that he will be happy there.
It is acceptable to ask whether the establishment can cater for cultural requirements; for example about the availability of halal food or special diets, or arrangements for praying.
"The exhibition is an important platform to meet a number of universities under one roof and obtain all the key information to help make the final choice of course and institution", said Hjh Rafiah Hj Momin of HRD Services.
"For a similar titled degree course, universities vary in terms of modules, formats, facilities etc. It is therefore extremely important to make a structured comparison and talk to as many university staff as possible to see what makes that university unique or suits the student's expectations."
"The student should also make sure that he brings all his certificates when he visits the exhibition," added Hjh Rafiah.
"The entrance requirements vary from course to course as well as institution to institution for a given course. The delegates can advice the student on an appropriate course and his eligibility based on the present qualifications."
She also advised students to not be shy as the delegates are there to answer their queries and to provide the students with any information that they may require.

So what might you go and see over the next seven days? To be brutally honest, the same list of shows that I suggested in the last What to See. So I'm going to use the space to look ahead into the New Year and the shows that you should be already thinking about booking.
These certainly include Robert Lepage's The Blue Dragon at the Barbican in mid-Feb which I saw in an early incarnation at my favourite festival, The Dublin International Theatre Festival in 2009. I hope that it will have cooked nicely since then. Lepage, of course, is also the director of Totem, the latest Cirque du Soleil show that opens at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday.
There are a handful of other openings: Lucy Bailey's RSC transfer from Stratford Roundhouse of Julius Caesar is in preview at the Roundhouse where both Romeo and Juliet and The Winter's Tale deserve attention. The New End may have served up a horror before Christmas, but Judenfrei, which opens on Wednesday, sounds promising – a tale of two Jewish lovers in 1930s Berlin. At the Finborough, you can see the first London revival for 40 years of Graham Greene's The Potting Shed. Theatre Delicatessen's swan song at its pop-up Picton Place premises is an all-female staging of A Doll's House which has its press night on Friday. If you know of any other openings throughout the country, do please let us all know below.
I love this point in the year when the round-ups have been read, the dust has settled and the coming year promises so much. Everything gleams and glitters. Particularly Artichoke's Dining With Alice, which opens in May as part of the Norfolk and Norwich festival, and Kneehigh's Umbrellas of Cherbourg at the Curve in February. Toneelgroep's The Roman Tragedies was one of the best shows of 2009, so book for The Antonioni Project at the Barbican at start of February. Clybourne Park transfers to Wyndham's in the West End at the end of January. Then, of course there's William Finn's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at the Donmar in February and the Danny Boyle-directed Frankenstein at the National.
I'm really looking forward to Shrek, too. Booking has long been open for Robert Wilson's The Life and Death of Marina Ambramovic, which is at the Lowry in July as part of the Manchester International festival. Before that, though, it's the London International Mime festival which always brightens up January. In April, Spill has a another visit from Romeo Castellucci with The Minister's Black Veil as well as new commissions from Rajni Shah and Kings of England.
Propeller's all-male double header of Richard III and The Comedy of Errors at Sheffield Lyceum should be well worth a journey at the end of January, as should Thea Sharrock's revival of Plenty in the Crucible. The excellent Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory season in Bristol includes Andrew Hilton's Richard II and Comedy of Errors this year. Vivienne Franzmann's Mogadishu, which focuses on confrontation in a secondary school, sounds very promising at the Royal Exchange Manchester and actor Andrew Sheridan, so shattering in Robert Holman's Jonah and Otto, has his first play in the studio in February. Sarah Esdaile directs Rattigan's The Deep Blue Sea at West Yorkshire Playhouse in mid-Feb while Thea Sharrock dirtects Anne-Marie Duff in Rattigan's final play Cause Célèbre at the Old Vic in March. Two great shows out on regional tour: Derek Jacobi's King Lear and Rory Kinnear's Hamlet.
Birmingham Rep goes out on tour itself while its old home is redeveloped, stopping off across the city with shows that range from artistic director Rachel Kavanaugh's swansong, Notes to Future Self, a story of a dying teenage girl written by Lucy Caldwell, to a revival of Tom Stoppard's Travesties. Headlong are out on tour with A Midsummer Night's Dream transposed to 1960s Hollywood, which kicks off at the Nuffield in Southampton in early February. More to come next week. Have a happy new year, and let us know what you are seeing and what you are looking forward to catching later in the year.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Editor-in-Chief of Urban China Magazine
Jiang Jun, designer and critic, has been working on urban research and experimental study, exploring the interrelationship between design phenomenon and urban dynamic. He founded Underline Office in Guangzhou in 2003, and has been the editor-in-chief of Urban China Magazine since the end of 2004. He is the translator of Tony Godfrey's Conceptual Art, and Rem Koolhaas' Bigness and Junkspace. Born in Hubei in 1974, Jiang Jun got his bachelor's degree in Tongji University in Shanghai and master's degree in Tsinghua University in Beijing, now also teaching in Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.

What can we learn from China? During the past decades Chinese cities developed rather exceptionally, especially for a developing country, a development which is driven by acceleration and illegal forms of urbanism. Confronted with the question What can we learn from China? we try to understand the mechanism that drive this urban development. How would you respond to this question?
Jiang Jun: The development of the Chinese city is inscribed in the logic of a planned market economy, of planned capitalism. Inside this macro framework of planning a laissez-faire attitude rules. The efficiency underlying the planning is due to system of ownership, as even the central government gets money through this system. Real estate developers manage the usage of the land. When building new cities or district they have to invest in infrastructure and sometimes in building the new administrative new city for the government. When more developers are attracted to these places, they inscribe themselves in the logic of this basic model. Which is actually the model that first has been developed in Shenzhen and later, and now, is moving to other Chinese cities. This is fastest mechanism to push the development of a city forward. This development through infrastructure, road development, is in first instance very rough, in the second stage we see a system of redevelopment and regeneration in a very efficient and sustainable way. At the othe hand a lot of investment comes from outside of China. Take for example the case of Shenzhen where there is almost no investment from the central government, only 500 million RMB, compared to the 15,3 billion RMB, investment from the outside; from place like Hong Kong, Taiwan or the US. The case of Shanghai is more balanced where money comes from both ways, both domestic and foreign.
Does this creates a conflicts in vision on urban development? In some developed countries a city makes a plan and investors follow that plan. Is here another situation happening?
JJ: Here we make a plan and then the laissez-faire, the free capitalism infiltrates the plan. So plans have to be adjusted day by day, time by time, this to follow the reality. The plan always has to catch up with change, with the free economy. These plans are primary controlled within the overall balance and development of the country, like in the development of the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and Bohai Sea region. So first we developed the East of the country and are now pulling this into the underdeveloped Western region of the county. This development would be impossible in a complete free market economy. In essence China's urban development is not solely target to individual cities, but ties in more with an overall vision on this country. A vision where there is the need for a balance of the space. In the past we have seen this in the government's policy to create special economic zones . Now this evolution is moved more towards the market and development of the regional economies. The initial development was very unbalanced, based on the idea, especially in the Pearl River Delta, to allow a small few groups of people to get rich first. Now China is creating a harmonious society, dealing with this balance-unbalance situation. I am talking here about a modernization process, in which urbanizing is the typical way of modernization. This modernization is materialized in every specific way in the city and relates to the country's history. In a case like Beijing where the city enormously expanded we can see that this expansion mirrors the macro-change. With Urban China Magazine we are studying these diversifying changes and find ways to unite those.
From a visual point of view China's cities deal in diverse with densities and size of buildings. It gives the impression that whatever is possible. How does the size of the plot relates to the volume and size of the building sitting on it?
JJ: One can't forget that planning and the architectural outcome is about the rules that are set up. For example in Beijing the rules lead to a more wider organization, while in Guangzhou the plots are very narrow but density is much higher. The development of Beijing is still largely determined by the danwei system, a system inherited from military history. This leads to superblocks that are enclosed with inside them space for government buildings, public space, public buildings. During the last decade we see a more specific way of planning, Central Business Districts are much more condensed and complex. You see that in developments like SOHO (small office, home office) where the rules are set up to combine offices with housing.
Is the Chinese city ready to sustain and reflect the desires of the growing middle class?
JJ: Of course. In the future the middle class will become more and more the force that supports the power of the country. The middle class will be those citizens that make the visions for the government and as such become a more self-organizing society that is responsible for the regulated development. Cities should represent the middle class, because the upper class is a small class and the objective for the 'no class' is to improve their quality of life into middle class. Every developing country is like this. The problem is that people have difficulties in thinking about the future, as they only care about today, but for creative industries, and architecture is just a small part of the creative industries, I hope that in the coming twenty years we will make a great leap forward and architecture could be part of that. By then we should have more vision and money to do some proper development. But few understand that it is actually now is the time to think how to make that qualitative and qualified development.
How do you think this will change architecture?
JJ: I believe architecture should be more concerned with combining function, content and context. Architecture is both self sustained and related to the context, good architecture should combine those. The context relates to the environment, and the superstructure it inscribes itself in. I don't think tabula rasa is a nice thing because that is a strategy to to kill diversity. Also the context is not what we find in hutong areas, that is very popular in the current discourse on Beijing and to all of the country. But for the local society and people there should be diversity with much more opportunities, one which one could call the real New Urbanism. Chinese cities should keep and aspire this kind of diversity. Architecture is about function, program and possibilites. If architecture will change in this country it should be driven by forging, creating and thinking about new combination between those. As such it could reinvent itself. Like a SOHO kind of re-invention. Recently I saw the design for Onix TV in Beijing, which combines media offices, public parks and commercial shopping streets. The public shopping street and the park are designed so that you can look through the window in the media room. The biggest change of the Chinese city is that the gradual transformation from a production into a consumption oriented city. This gives also a new direction especially for the media, the offices, where there is a new possibility for you to consume. This possibility will make them become more attractive. This is also what the central government wants to do in the next phaze to bypass the domestic demand. The domestic demand is the way for China to deal with the global economy, as the global economy can be sometimes very frustrating as we witness now with the impact of the American stock onto the Chinese market. Mao stirred this country in a direction of independence, so the global crisis would never affects the country. Now the situation changed and we experience now more and more the impact. China is very big, it is a world in itself. Now there is a great potential inside of domestic China to be developed. People only know about the coast line, but China's urban development has more depth.

Is Yahoo Sitting on a Patent Gold Mine?
In February, Yahoo officially launched the sale of its core business, and despite their struggles, they could be sitting on a treasure trove of intellectual property.
The New York Post, citing intellectual property experts, says Yahoo could reap between $3 and $4 billion just from the sale of its patent portfolio.
"The potential patent gold mine is also attractive to bidders involved in the auction for the company. Yahoo has set a deadline of April 11 to submit preliminary bids for its Web business and Asian assets," writes Claire Atkinson of the Post. "But it's unclear which patents Yahoo would sell as part of a non-core deal and which it might retain as part of the sale of the core business — making Yahoo's own evaluation of its patents fuzzy."
We saw something similar happen with Eastman Kodak. Murmurs were that Kodak's patent portfolio would reap billions (Kodak estimated between $2.2 and $2.6 billion). It ended up selling for only $527 million. So it's fair to say that a wait-and-see approach is required here. But if Yahoo can fetch this much for their portfolio, it would certainly speak volumes on a number of levels.
First, it would say something about their ability to innovate, even while Google has gained so much of their market share. But it also speaks to the value of technology patents in an increasingly litigious IP landscape. Whoever acquires Yahoo's patents knows that they're also acquiring the peace of mind, knowing that one less competitor is out there ready to file a patent suit against them. And when the stakes are as high as judgments in the hundreds of millions-to-billions, that's a very valuable asset to have.

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, has tasked Governors of the 36 states 'to continue to provide personal leadership, in your states for the programme by requesting and reviewing monthly reports from the local government chairpersons on the progress being made in their areas' in order to avoid complacency or relapse to the era of widespread transmission of the paralysing disease.
The President made the statement while declaring opened, the Nigeria Polio Summit organized by the Federal Ministry of Health, in collaboration with Rotary International District 9125 in Abuja on Monday, 28 April 2013 with the theme, 'Sustaining the End Game Strategy Tempo: Polio End Game … Let's End It Now' .
President Jonathan, represented at the Summit by the Honourable Minister of Health Professor C.O. Onyebuchi Chukwu, recognized the tremendous partnerships built over the years and efforts of stakeholders in the fight against polio in Nigeria which led to the significant reduction in the number of reported cases.
Nigeria, in the last five months, recorded two cases of polio in one (1) state, compared to fourteen (14) in six (6) states for the same period in 2013.
Earlier, the WHO Representative Dr. Rui Gama Vaz, who spoke on behalf of the United Nations System in Nigeria, assured government and stakeholders of partners support. He also applauded 'the government for the progress which has been made in polio eradication which has witnessed a 86% reduction in polio cases in 2014 compared to the same period in 2013'.
He, however, stressed on the need to sustain the improved quality of IPDs in all areas but expressed concern over growing accessibility challenges around children in security compromised areas as well as the threat of importations from neighbouring countries currently experiencing polio outbreaks.
Dr. Vaz also articulated how the infrastructure of the polio legacy will be used to reinforce surveillance and other health interventions to strengthen the entire health systems in the country.
In his contribution at the Summit, the Past Rotary President Wilf Wilkinson expressed optimism that the present commitment by policy makers and partners will heighten confidence that Nigeria will soon be polio free with the African Region next in line to be certified polio-free. He also used the occasion to urge government at all levels and the people of Nigeria to exploit the opportunities available to firmly root out polio in 2014.
The meeting was attended by representatives of Executive Governors from the polio high risk states, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Rotarians, WHO, UNICEF, USAID, CDC, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Dangote Foundation, other bilateral and civil society organizations.

Darin Groff, Preserve Manager
610-353-5587 ext. 505
Parking is available at Willistown Township's Serpentine Preserve, 143 Line Road, Malvern, PA.
The 126-acre Willisbrook Preserve includes more than 20 acres of the Sugartown Serpentine Barrens, a rare ecosystem. These barrens support a diverse variety of plants, including serpentine aster, round-leafed fame flower, and warm-season grasses. The preserve, which was donated to Natural Lands Trust in 1961, holds special significance as the first property that we received through donation.
In 2010, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PA DCNR) designated portions of Willisbrook Preserve—specifically the Sugartown Serpentine Barrens—as a "Pennsylvania Wild Plant Sanctuary." The program encourages the conservation of natural areas and native plants, and recognizes private landowners who serve as models of good conservation and stewardship of these special resources.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - February 24, 2000, New Braunfels, Texas Page 8A — Herald-Zeitung —Thursday, February 24, 2000Santana sweeps Grammys with 'Supernatural' LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carlos Santana, who first gained fame a generation ago with a searing guitar performance at Woodstock, capped a triumphant comeback Wednesday with a record-tying eight Grammy Awards. The 52-year-old guitarist's multi-platinum "Supernatural" won album of the year. His first No. I single, "Smooth," capped a sweep of the major Grammys by winning song and record of the year. Santana tied Michael Jackson's 1983 record of most Grammys on a single night. "Music is the vehicle for the magic of healing," he said upon accepting the album of the year trophy, "and the music of 'Supernatural' was a sign and designed to bring unity and harmony." To a standing ovation, Santana performed "Smooth" just before winning his final award. He kissed singer Rob Thomas at the end. Only a lack of a writing credit for "Smooth" prevented a record- PRYOR/From 1A serves on the Men's Ministry Committee at the church. Since moving to New Braunfels • in 1993, he has served on the board of the Comal County Children's Shelter as both treasurer and vice president and served on the 1998-99 United Way fund drive committee. He's a five-year member of the New Braunfels Rotary and a member of the Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce, Inc. As a chamber member, he serves on the Airman of the Quarter committee. Before moving to New Braunfels, Pryor served in the U.S. Air Force for nine years and was selected as the Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year for Nellis Air Force B^se and Tactical Air Command in 1991. While stationed in Nevada, he received a bachelor of science degree in management information systems from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Pryor said he planned to meet with constituents in District 4 in the next couple months to find out their concerns and then develop his stance on different issues. "With experience and leadership, I hope to preserve the natural resources and beauty of New Braunfels with careful, compassionate planning to benefit District 4 and the entire city," he said. breaking performance by Santana. The song of the year trophy went to Thomas and Itaal Shun "I want to thank Santana for taking this song to the moon," Shur said. Another nominee whose career began in the 1960s, Cher, won her first Grammy for dance recording. She enjoyed her biggest commercial success last year with the hit single "Believe." In a mild upset, Christina Aguilera beat out her fellow teen queen and former Mousketeer, Britney Spears, for the Grammy as best new artist. Even she was surprised. "Oh my God, you guys," she said. "I seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever. I'm shaking right now." Feuding soul divas TLC picked up two Grammys — for best rhythm 'n' blues performance by a group for their frank put-down of men, "No Scrubs," and best R&B album for "Fanmail." "No Scrubs" was also named best R&B song. Sting sprang an upset in the male pop vocal category with a victory for "Brand New Day," beating out younger, Latin-influenced singers Marc Anthony and Ricky Martin. Sting also won for pop album. "I felt the talent I was up against was extraordinary," said Sting, who also won for pop album. "I have 14 Grammys now and a very large mantlepiece." Eminem won two awards, for best rap solo performance and best rap album. Two '70s icons took home their first trophies ever: love god Barry White's "Staying Power" won best male R&B performance and Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" was honored as best metal performance. Country's leading ladies, the Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain, won two Grammys apiece. George Jones, who had a near-fatal traffic wreck last year, won male country vocal for "Choices." CALENDAR/From 1A "I personally feel it's a tragedy to have kids in school in early August," he said. Clay said he would support changing Nov. 22 and Dec. 22 back to holidays if teachers pushing for the change worked with the board to reach some kind of compromise. Clay said the board supported the wishes of teachers and administrators by including two one-week breaks and ending the first semester before the holidays. "I think we have wonderful teachers but I'm disappointed with the selfishness of some of them for not coming up with some kind of give and take. I'd be glad to give those two days back as holidays in exchange for that Thursday and Friday in January," he said. Clay said he voted against the calendar because he would like to see students return from the Christmas break Thursday, Jan. 4 rather than Monday, Jan. 8. In other business, Roy Linnartz, project consultant for the district, said Thursday night he would present trustees a piece of property near Timberwood Parte off Borgfeld Road, located on the west side of 281 in Bexar County, for the new U.S. 281 elementary school. Linnartz said the Borgfeld Road property was not the 20-acre property on Borgfeld Road trustees rejected in a 4-3 vote Dec. 17. Trustees have been stalled in their efforts to move forward on selecting property for the elementary school because of a controversy over the school's site — either west or east of U.S. 281. At a Jan. 27 meeting, trustees passed a resolution in a 4-3 vote agreeing to build the new school west of 281. Krueger said trustees would need to decide Thursday night whether to move forward on the property or instruct the administration to continue looking at other properties. Trustees also will consider changing the school calendar to add another school day for Spring Branch Middle School students after administrators cancelled school Feb. 18 because of a bomb threat. The board also will look at approving contract extensions for principals, administrators and coaches.

"There s not boards up all over windows. ... We have a few 'For Rent' signs up but that's normal, especially the first of the year." The two-year freeze will allow the city time to study the issue and give different groups time to organize proposals. The Downtown Association is developing such a proposal but not necessarily to get a piece of the bed tax pie. "It's (the city's) job to figure out where the money comes from," Cork said. And using bed tax money on downtown might not be the best way to spend that dedicated tax, he said. Marty Lindley, owner of Comal Inn, 424 Comal, agreed. "There's other money available," she said. But plenty of people associated with downtown said the hotel/motel tax could benefit downtown. Sandy Kelley, vice president of the Historic Outdoor Art Gallery, said she was concerned about the freeze. "We've never applied for that money, but we hope to," she said. HOAG raised money for the first outdoor mural on Casten Avenue and is seeking funds for a second mural, she said. Mac McCoy, president of the Brauntex Performing Arts Theatre Association Inc., said the group would not ask for hotel/motel tax revenue but wouldn't reject it either. "We decided not to get involved with political issues," McCoy said. BPATA is raising money to restore the Brauntex Theater downtown. Paul Martinka, owner of Henne Hardware Company, 246 W. San Antonio St., said he believed downtown needed some of the hotel/motel tax revenue soon. Get your Car ready for a HOT Summer! VISA MASTERCARD ■ DISCOVER r EXPERT RADIATORS i I "Big or SmaII . .

Experience "Two years is too much," he said. "If we're going to work on downtown, we need to do it soon." Bill Groff, owner of Country Faire, 230 West San Antonio St., agreed. "It should have been done a long time ago," he said. "Now that we can spend the money on potentially good things, we should." Last month, the city renegotiated the Greater New' Braunfels Chamber of Commerce's contract for tourism promotion, freeing up more than 15 percent of the tax revenue. Council shouldn't wait two years to spend this money, Groff said. He suggested the city look into the legality of spending the bed tax on things like old-fashioned lights for downtown, benches, trash cans and improved signage directing people to downtown. Hotel/motel tax, by state law, is a dedicated tax. Revenue can be spent on convention facilities, tourism promotion, promotion of arts and historical restoration or preservation programs. District 6 councilwoman Juliet Watson suggested the city use the tax to buy and restore historic buildings or otter low-interest loans. Morgan Hill, the developer working on turning the old Comal Power Plant into a destination hotel, said he possibly could use some of the hotel tax revenue, although that's not something he's seriously considered. "We might ask to use that money," he said. "I'd hate to see a plain, clear two-year freeze." Hill said he also would hate to see the convention center idea taken off' the table — as the referendum would do if approved. "Uncertainty is a problem for developers," he said. "I'd like to be developing this project in a community that's looking thoughtfully at expanding a convention center." Jay Rogers, owner of New Braunfels Coffee, 489 Main Plaza, said he thought it was premature to take the convention center idea off the table. "A convention center, if it's done right, could be very beneficial to downtown," Rogers said. Groff said a convention center could revitalize downtown, if put in the right spot — like the old H-E-B building on San Antonio Street. But if put in the proposed Cotton Crossing development in Gruene, a convention center could hurt dow ntown, Martinka said. Both Groff and Martinka agreed the convention center referendum was good for the community. "I think the public should have a say in it," Groff said. "Council isn't representing the city like it should." OPINIONS/From 1A Top right: Lisa Sacco won first place in the Wurstfest/ Fuji Film Photo Contest with this picture of her daughter Kareece Sacco.

Ingredient List Print Recipe• 1/2 pound tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered • 2 garlic cloves, minced • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/2 cup onion, minced very fine • 2 serrano chiles, deseeded, minced very fine • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro leaves • 1 ripe avocado • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice • Tortilla chips, jicama, red pepper and radish, to serve
Flavors of the Yucatan
This bright, citrusy salsa is made with fresh tomatillos rather than tomatoes to give it a tangy, piquant flavor profile often found in Yucatan cuisine. This salsa makes a great (and healthy!) dip all on its own, served with tortilla chips and fresh veggies such as red pepper slices, jicama and radishes. It's also a nice addition to any grilled or roasted meat, poultry or seafood.
Servings: Makes about 2 cups
Total Time: 20 min
Remove the husk from the tomatillos and rinse. Cut into quarters.
Combine the garlic, salt, onion, Serrano chiles and cilantro in a food processor. Pulse to combine (do not over puree). Reserve.
Halve the avocado, remove and discard pit and scoop out the flesh. Discard skin. Using a fork, mash the avocado into the sauce with the lime juice. Season with additional salt if need be and serve.

Always have loved these glasses... Another pair due to kids liking them too!
In the performance of my job as a commercial airline pilot I am regularly subjected to bright sunlight and/or glare. These sunglasses protect my eyes better than any other pair of sunglasses that I have owned. They also feel really good on my face. In fact, I almost forget that I even have them on because they fit and feel so good and are so light. The lenses on these sunglasses give my eyes full protection including my peripheral vision. I love the interchangeable lenses which gives me ... flexibility depending on the lighting situation. In addition to protecting my eyes while I'm flying they also work very well while I am cycling, hiking or performing any other outdoor activity. I would unhesitatingly recommend these sunglasses to anyone. They do the job!
I just ordered my 3rd and 4th models of this watch. The first on lasted through many deployments in the 90's, the second was in Bosnia and Afghanistan through 2011. It also just ground through a deployment to west Africa, the Namib desert and the Sahara. Never had a problem, just changed the battery. I've ordered two because I will give them as gifts now.
This watch is so comforatble, I switched the band and you do not even know you are wearing it! Lume,is great and I very rarely need to use the indiglo, I collect timex,watches and am glad this is in my rotation!
I have been wearing them a while unfortunately they are a little to tight on the back of my head I wish they could widen the frames a little bit other then that awesome
I've owned costa before and there is no other brand I prefer. I would take them over my designer glasses that I have. They are by far the most comfortable out there.
The sweatshirt was purchased as a gift for my son and worked out really well. But, what impressed me was the way the order was handled. I went to the store on Shelbyville Road to look for the specific hoodie my son had seen at another Academy store. There were none in his size, an associate who noticed me looking through the stack came to assist. She placed the order online while we were standing at the display and was able to take my payment. No standing in line! The order came on time as indicated.
Got this for my son for Christmas. He loves it. Beautiful blue color doesn't fade in washer and dryer.
Purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my son and it was a hit. He wears it all the time.
Great fit I love it great price also... its worth it.
These are TERRIFIC! The weight of soccer shorts, but long. Just a little bit warmer, with out suffocating you. Perfect for South East Louisiana spring.
Everyone in our family has at least one pair. They wash well and fit great. Highly recommend.
I work outdoors in Texas streams and encounter a lot of difficult terrain and vegetation. These pants are very comfortable and resist most of the damage that Juniper, Green Briar and other plants try to inflict. In addition the seeds from Spreading Hedgeparsley (Torilis arvensis) do not stick to it. Now I need to find some socks that have the same quality.
Loyal to this brand due to quality and comfort. One pair sent to us was the wrong size, so we will have to exchange that at our local Academy store.
My boys love the fit and comfort of these !! I would buy again
I bought these for my husband and he loves them. They are nice enough that he can wear them for business casual and he says they are very comfortable.
I bought this for a trip to the mountains and found it very useful. It kept me warm and dry in the snow. Great quality and design as I would expect from UA. The dual layers also came in handy.
I bought this wallet over a month ago during Grand Opening. I am very happy with the product. It has lots of compartments for all your cards. So far the stitching is holding up well as it is getting broken in.
Very comfortable and love the color, color was unclear online but it's great color.
I bought one several months ago and liked it so much I bought this one as a gift. He is a deputy sheriff, so it really fits in. I am really impressed with your customer service from the young man who answered the phone. We are not used to that kind of service here in south Florida/
The item wasn't in stock so I ordered it online while at the store. Everything worked out great.
Very comfortable hat and keeps the sun out of my face. I was so happy I recommended it to many of my friends who also work out in the blazing heat
this is real light and perfect for hunting. Looking forward to using again.
I bought it about 6 weeks ago. It has become my favorite hat. Very comfortable and durable
Great style and fits well.. thanks for shipping by Christmas
Carhartt does it again!! Excellent shirt jacket that's very warm. Purchased black and brown and very satisfied with the half price making it even better..
My original Ironman watch died after 25 years. I knew I had to get another.

Discover Dance
The UVM Dance Program is open to all students, both those new to dance and those who have had previous studies in dance. The mission of the Program is to provide students with the opportunity to expand and develop their knowledge of dance as a performing art form.
The heart of the Program lies in modern/contemporary dance. Practice and theory are embedded in all dance courses. Students learn applied knowledge in the art of dance through courses in contemporary dance technique, improvisation, composition, site-based performance, and participation in yearly performances. Students also critically examine dance in courses that emphasize history, cultural traditions, and creative research. Courses in ballet, hip hop, musical theatre dance, and a wide variety of world dance forms provide students with the opportunity to learn about a broad spectrum of dance forms.
The UVM Dance Program places special emphasis on student creative work, which includes choreography and research, and encourages interdisciplinary approaches to studying dance. The Program works very closely with our colleagues in Music to combine original and/or live music with dance creation at every opportunity. And the Program engages with the wider dance world through professional guest choreographers and master class instructors, as well as attendance at university dance conferences.
Through physical/creative action and engaged inquiry, it is the goal of the Program to facilitate rich and meaningful interaction amongst faculty, guest, and student artists.

What to Wear reader Starling writes: "I've fallen in love with these gray, lace-up suede boots from J. Jill, but they don't have them in my size. Can you find any similar shoes in the same price range? Good luck though, I feel like I've looked everywhere already!" Hmm, but have you seen these…
Which ones do you think are the best swap-in for Starling's coveted J.Jill boots? And aren't these all so cute. I'm really loving grey boots right anyway—there are so many cool styles out in that color now. You too?
