Merchant in the Middle
April 7, 2012,
Warren Shoulberg Publisher/Editorial Director
While the stores at both ends of the spectrum no doubt attract their share of customers from up and down the shopping food chain, it is the stores in the middle - namely JCPenney, Kohl's and Macy's - that are getting a lot of attention right now, particularly at the just-concluded New York textiles market week, albeit for entirely different reasons.
For Penney, of course, it was the first market visit following the unveiling of the Johnson Doctrine, new president Ron Johnson's manifesto on everyday value pricing, simplified merchandising positioning and a clever if infinitely less-in-your face ad campaign.
There were different takes on exactly how this new Penney will buy home textiles products, but virtually every company you ran into had high hopes that their new whatever was exactly what Ron-Jon was looking for. If JCP ended up buying all of the stuff vendors were sure they absolutely needed, those stores would be even more junked up with merchandise than they ever were.
Kohl's was in for market, too, and there was just as much curiosity about them. The posse from Menomonee Falls no doubt spent some serious time talking about what is suddenly broken at Kohl's after a long, long streak of success going back 20 years or more.
Everyone had their own theory about what caused the recent fl at sales there, from an inbred-we-don't-need-no-stinken'-ideas-from-the-outside mentality to bad housekeeping in the stores to just a general fatigue on the part of shoppers with the endless 70%-off routine. No doubt it was some combination of all of the above.
And then there was Macy's, which has been the strongest player in the middle tier, finally getting the balance of promotion and product right for the first time in a long time. But the sneak attack on the Martha Stewart franchise there by Penney certainly has the potential to upset that equation. Vendors said the Macy's people were asking for Martha product for the first quarter of 2013, which is about the time her program is scheduled to debut at the other end of the mall at JCP.
How the Great Siege of Stewart will eventually play out remains to be seen but, to quote my old friends at the Firesign Theater, "How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?"
All in all, these are interesting times for the merchants in the middle. You can bet none of them wants to be made a monkey of.

I hate that advert with all my being! I even considered sending John Frieda a complaint. I can't believe their solution to curly hair that happens to be frizzy is to make it "go away" The thing is the models hair wasn't even that bad in my opinion {and yes I'm aware her curls weren't natural but still} I hate the depiction of curls as unmanageable,unattractive and in need of straightening. It's enough that the uk has such a meagre amount of products for curly hair {imo anyway, I have to get most of the stuff I like online} and now the only option they give us "oh well just straighten it." I'm sick of curly hair, proper natural curly hair not just tonged hair, being shown as bad or ugly. I will continue to rock my natural curls regardless!

Chemical composition of dietary fiber and polyphenols of wine grape pomace skins and development of wine grape (cv. Merlot) pomace extract based films.pdf
The objectives of this project were to investigate the chemical composition of five varieties of wine grape pomace (WGP) skins obtained in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with the emphasis on dietary fiber (DF) and polyphenolic compounds, and further to evaluate the feasibility of developing WGP extract based edible films in terms of their physicochemical, nutritional and antimicrobial properties. Research studied two varieties of white WGP (WWGP) skins (vinifera L. cv. Morio Muscat and cv. Muller Thurgau) and three varieties of red WGP (RWGP) skins (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon, cv. Pinot Noir and cv. Merlot). DF was measured by gravimetric-enzymatic method with sugar profiling by HPLC-ELSD. Soluble polyphenols were extracted by 70% acetone/0.1% HCl/29.9% deionized water and measured spectrophotometrically. The major composition of insoluble DF (IDF) were Klason lignin (7.9-36.1% DM), neutral sugars (4.9-14.6% DM), and uronic acid (3.6-8.5% DM), which weighed more than 95.1% of total DF in all five WGP varieties. RWGP was significantly higher in DF (51.1-56.3% DM) than those of WWGP (17.3-28.0% DM), but lower in soluble sugar (1.3-1.7% DM in RWGP vs. 55.8-77.5% DM in WWGP) (p<0.05). RWGP contained larger amount of soluble pectin (water soluble, chelator soluble and hydroxide soluble) (5.1-5.6% DM) compared with that of WWGP (3.2-4.1% DM). Compared with WWGP, RWGP had higher values in total phenolics content (21.4-26.7 mg GAE/g DM in RWGP vs. 11.6-15.8 mg GAE/g DM in WWGP) and DPPH radical scavenging activity (32.2-40.2 mg AAE/g DM in RWGP vs. 20.5-25.6 mg AAE/g DM in WWGP) (p<0.05). The total flavanol and proanthocyanidin contents were ranged from 31.0 to 61.2 mg CE/g DM and 8.0 to 24.1 mg/g DM, respectively for the five WGP varieties. This study not only demonstrated that the skins of WGP can be ideal sources of DF rich in bioactive compounds, but also built up the baseline data for developing innovative utilizations of both red and white wine grape pomace skins. Because of its highest amounts of water soluble pectin (4.5 mg GUAE/g DM) and total phenolic content (25.0 mg GAE/g DM) among five WGP varieties, RWGP (cv. Merlot) was selected to develop WGP extract based films accompanying the study on their physicochemical, nutritional and antibacterial properties. Pomace extract (PE) was obtained by hot water extraction and had a total soluble solid of 3.6% and pH 3.65. Plant based polysaccharides, low methxyl pectin (LMP, 0.75% w/w), sodium alginate (SA, 0.3% w/w), or Ticafilm® (TF, 2% w/w), was added into PE for film formation, respectively. Elongation at break and tensile strength of the films were 23% and 4.04 MPa for TF-PE film, 25% and 1.12 MPa for SA-PE film, and 9.89% and 1.56 MPa for LMP-PE film. Water vapor permeability of LMP-PE and SA-PE films was 63 and 60 g mm m⁻² d⁻¹ kPa, respectively, lower than that of TF-PE film (70 g mm m⁻² d⁻¹ kPa) (p<0.05). LMP-PE film had higher water solubility, indicated by the haze percentage of water after 24 h of film immersion (52.8%) than that of TF-PE (25.7%) and SA-PE (15.9%) films, and also released the highest amount of phenolics (96.6%) than that of TF-PE (93.8%) and SA-PE (80.5%) films. PE films showed antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli and Listeria innocua, in which approximate 5 log reductions in E. coli and 1.7-3.0 log reductions in L. innocua were observed at the end of 24 h incubation test compared with the control. In conclusion, wine grape pomace extract based edible films with the addition of a small amount of commercial polysaccharides showed attractive color and comparable mechanical and water barrier properties to other edible films. The films also demonstrated their antioxidant and antimicrobial functions. The results from this study provided guidance on the utilizations of WGP skins based on their chemical compositions, and also demonstrate the possibility of developing innovative packaging materials using WGP skins extracts that may be used as colorful wraps or coatings for food, pharmaceutical or other similar applications.

I have been reading a bunch of articles today on the legacy of John Howard Yoder (what his well-documented incidents of sexual harassment mean for how we interpret his theology). Lots of good important questions being asked, and many of them related to Slow Church. For those interested, I started here and was eventually led to this superb two-part article. The most challenging question is: Does the slowness of Slow Church just serve to prop up existing power structures, such as patriarchy, whiteness and heterosexuality? Is this a dark side to Slow Church? Pa … [Read more...]
A Dark Side to Slow Church?
Technology, Community and Discernment.
John's post on Saturday on the Moral Importance of the iPhone reminded me of one of my favorite courses in college, an honors seminar on technology and community. This class was my first deep immersion into the works of Wendell Berry, and it was also where I first encountered the work of the Amish writer David Kline. A major thrust of the course was reflecting on the ways in which our choices about technology impact the shape of our communities (as families, as churches and as neighborhoods. One of the pieces we read for the class was Wendell Berry's little essay "Why I am NOT going to buy a … [Read more...]

In terms of ergonomics, the Air Mouse Elite is certainly superior to the Air Mouse GO Plus. On the desk the ambidextrous Elite supports the hand comfortably due to its length and contoured shape, while the soft-touch sides below the glossy section provide good support for thumb and little finger.
Despite its relatively small Teflon feet the mouse glides along smoothly, and thanks to its laser sensor is as accurate as a non-gaming mouse needs to be. The Elite's two main left and right buttons offer crisp response, and the programmable buttons and trigger also have enough spring to hold up well. Its comfortable, rubberized two-way scroll wheel sports notched feedback, though we would really like for Gyration to include four-way wheels at this stage – something most peripheral manufacturers have implemented on their high-end mice.
Of course, what sets Gyration's mice apart is that they can be used in the air as easily as on your desk. Yet while certainly usable, the compact Air Mouse wasn't exactly comfortable to hold in its supposed element. Thankfully in this regard the Elite has more in common with the GO Plus, as it's as comfortable off the desk as on it.
In-air capabilities, dubbed MotionSense by Gyration, come courtesy of a two-axis gyroscope. Just like a Wii-mote, it allows you to determine the cursor position by moving the mouse in the air, and the slightest alteration of wrist angle is all it takes to move the cursor accurately.
MotionSense is activated by either pulling the trigger beneath the mouse or – as long as Gyration's drivers aren't installed - pressing the round chromed button at the top (called the Gesture Button). These two buttons are within easy reach of your index finger and thumb respectively. Double-clicking either one puts the Elite into 'permanent-motion' mode, where you don't need to press or hold anything for the mouse to respond to your movements.

just a venting session here but perhaps someone can tell me if they've experienced this before.
So i live in a building. a nice building on a busy street corner with a nice little residential area behind it. So there is limited parking infront of my building for those poor saps that didn't get a parking spot when they bought a suite in said building - like me.
One friggin day I park on MY block, on MY street, 4 houses away from my building because there is NO PARKING available directly infront. That next morning I also decide, wow, the weather is decent, I'll "go green" and be nice to the environment (seriously) and cycle to work.
One of my nice little nasty no holiday spirit neighbours decides they don't like my car infront of their house and gets me ticketed. This street has NO SIGNS that say "permit only" or "no parking" or no nothing at all. The ticket bylaw says that I was parked for more than 3 hours between the hours of 8am and 6pm.
I appreciate the fact that I possibly put my car infront of mrs johnsons house and she needs a cane and can't maneuver down the street or someone really really needs that spot since they . . . gee, really really need that spot cuz they're an asshole? I think a note on my car from that home owner saying something like "hey, nice to meet you neighbour but would you please park somewhere else or I will have you ticketed?" would suffice. I LIVE 4 HOUSES away, I would have LIKED to park infront of my building but couldn't and now it's like if people park infront of my building . . . . .WHERE THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO PARK?
So do they expect me to (a) circle the building until a spot opens up or (b) get up super early and try to move my car to a spot NOT INFRONT OF ANYONE's HOUSE or (c) just drive myself to work and kill some more trees.
according to this bylaw, ANYONE can call and complain about a vehicle parked for more than 3 hours and it's fair game. Can I dispute this and WIN? If this is not the case, that homeowner is getting a nasty flaming bag of dog shit on their front porch and on their car.
So if indeed I am in the wrong, can you suggest where I would park my car from now on? If it's not infront of the asshole's house, it's infront of someone elses house. suggestions?

It's definitely worth getting. If you're tight for money, you might wait for a sale, but this is a pretty solid game. I don't like it as much as Corwin, but I've been playing it off and on for a couple weeks. For those keeping track at home:
Easiest: Elemental Magic
Easy: Healer - Divination Magic
Normal: Paladin type
Doable: Warriors and Rangers
Hard: Rogues
Insane: Rogues w/no magic

Attribute tips
Remember Mages need Intelligence to learn lots of spells, but they're mostly powered by perception. Endurance is calculated at the time you get it and does not raise retroactively. You can't start with 9 endurance and then raise it to 20 at level 15 and all of a sudden get a bunch of HP. If you want lots of HP-anybody but mages and priests, then you gotta get endurance at startup.

This is one masterful rendering of an Art Deco engagement ring. Using the format of a cluster ring, an old European cut and eight (8) old single cuts unite to form an 8 mm by 8 mm area of shimmer within an octagonal mille grain accented bezel. If it were one diamond, it would be 2.5 carats!
Together the nine (9) diamonds have an estimated total weight of .30 carats (I-J color; SI1-2 clarity). The flower configuration, lovely within the geometric form is embellished with bows on the sides of the open work filigree mounting. Overall, the 18k white gold mount is substantial and august in weight yet quite feminine in appearance.
This is the ring for those who wish to impress!
Date: Circa 1930.

Vectrix has officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Much like what recently took place with General Motors and Chrysler, the old company will be purchased by an entity called New Vectrix LLC in relatively short order unless another interested party comes along and presents a better offer to the bankruptcy judge. Production of the electric scooter in Poland isn't expected to be affected.
Says the company: "The total purchase price consists of a cash payment of $1,750,000 plus the assumption of up to $3,306,000 in specified liabilities for a total purchase price of up to $5,056,000." We're not exactly experts on the subject, but a bit over $5 million doesn't seem like too bad a deal for a ready-to-go electric vehicle manufacturer.
Interested? Find all the details in the press release pasted after the break. Thanks for the tip, Giuliano!

Frequently Asked Questions
It's speedy, safe, convenient, and unlike other debit cards, your Visa check card offers acceptance at millions of merchant locations worldwide-anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. Here you'll find information on acceptance, advantages, protections, and more.
May I get cash back from a purchase and is there a fee?
Will I be able to use it out of town? Is there a charge?
Will I be able to use it at other ATMs out of town?
Is there a fee for the Check Card?
Can I use my card for online and telephone purchases?
Can I pay bills with the card?
What happens if I am declined, but I know I have money in my account?
What happens if my account is overdrawn?
Why does it take 15 business days for my card to arrive?
Can I get a check card with the Direct Deposit Transaction Account (DDT)?
A Visa check card is a type of "debit" card that looks similar to a credit card but acts like a check because the purchase amount is deducted from the cardholder's checking account. A debit card is a bankcard used to make an electronic withdrawal from funds on deposit in a bank, as in purchasing goods or obtaining cash advances.
The Tri-State Bank Visa Check Card offers you the option to choose either one. If you choose "debit", the funds are almost instantly deducted from your account. Choosing "credit" will place a temporary hold on the account until the merchant processes the purchase. In some cases choosing "credit" will also allow you to make small purchases without a signature. Only those "credit" purchases are covered by Visa's Zero liability policy. One benefit to having the option to choose "debit" or "credit"- should one system not function properly the card allows you to the option of choosing the other. For example, if the "credit" system is not working properly you may ask the merchant to try "debit" and vice versa. There may be other benefits to choosing "credit." Click here Visa Check Card Product for more information on the Visa Check Card product.
Yes the Tri-State Bank Visa Check Card works just like your ATM card, only enhanced with the VISA to give you more shopping options. You can get cash from any machine that is a part of the Star & or Cirrus Networks.
Yes, if an ATM is not available, you may get a cash advance at a bank. However restrictions and fees may apply.
May I get cash back from a purchase and is there a fee?
You may get cash back from a purchase from some merchants. The bank does not charge a fee to get cash back from purchases using the check card. Please check with the merchant for fees and restrictions on cash back from purchases.
Will I be able to use it out of town? Is there a charge?
You may use your new Tri-State Bank Visa Check Card anywhere VISA is accepted even if you go out of town. There is no additional fee to use the card with merchants as a Point of Sale (POS) Transaction, meaning you enter your Pin Number or if you use the card as credit with a signature. If you use an ATM outside of our network, you will be subject to a foreign ATM Machine Fee.
Will I be able to use it at other ATMs out of town?
Yes, you may be able to get cash from ATMs out of town, but there is a fee to use those not within the bank's network.
Is there a fee for the Check Card?
Tri-State Bank charges a $1.00/ month fee for having the card. Please keep in mind, the check card offers a huge savings to you versus the ATM card, which has point of sale (POS) fees and cannot be used for everyday purchases.
Can I use my card for online and telephone purchases?
Yes, you can shop online or over the telephone using the Visa Check Card.
Can I pay bills with the card?
Yes if a creditor will accept a credit card they should accept your Check Card, but fees may apply from your creditor. There are no bank fees for this service.
You have the option to keep the ATM card and not have a check card, but you are not allowed to have both. Anyone who enrolls in the check card program will keep his or her ATM card until the new card arrives and is activated. Those who wish not to enroll in the Check Card program may keep or order an ATM card only. Also those who have the Direct Deposit Transaction Account (DDT) can only have an ATM card.
What happens if I am declined, but I know I have money in my account?
There may be times when the system is not functioning properly. With your new Check Card, you now have the option to ask them to try using it as a debit or credit. If Debit fails ask them to try it as a credit and vice versa. Debit transactions and credit transaction usually operate on two different systems. Debits are like getting money from the ATM, it comes out immediately and in some cases you can get cash back with your purchase. Credit purchased may temporarily post to your account, and take several days to officially appear on your account.
What happens if my account is overdrawn?
While we strongly encourage you to watch your account carefully, there may be times when your account is overdrawn. Keep in mind, approvals of transactions are based on your balance at the time of the transaction and may not consider any checks you have written or purchases where the merchant has not processed the purchase. Therefore it may be possible for you to be overdrawn even though your transaction was approved. Anytime you are overdrawn NSF fees apply.
Why does it take 15 business days for my card to arrive?
The cards are produced out of town and processed in batched cycles. Unfortunately if you enroll after a cycle ends, it may take a little longer to get your card processed. Please know that we will do everything possible to get your card to you as soon as possible, but please notify us if it has been more than 15 days so that we may check the status of your card.
Can I get a check card with the Direct Deposit Transaction Account (DDT)?
While the DDT account has many features that work like a checking account, it does not qualify for the check card. The DDT Account may only have an ATM card.

There is almost nothing I love more than the theater. Attending
a live show and feeling the palpable energy that reverberates
through each cramped seat is my definition of heaven. One might
assume that this love of the stage was fostered in childhood.
Perhaps my parents were theater geeks? Maybe I even took a spot
under the bright lights a time or two, belting out "Tomorrow"?
Not hardly. I throw up whenever I'm asked to speak in front of a
No, my parents had four children, a dog, and one income. Theater
was a luxury that would just have to wait. Yet I remember the night
when all that changed. My mother's first cousin is William Norris,
an early member of Chicago's Organic Theatre Company. Many years
ago, "Cousin Billy" provided our family tickets to see him in his
new role of Ebenezer Scrooge in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" at the
Goodman Theatre.
The performance was mesmerizing. I loved every minute of it. I
couldn't believe that such magic existed in the world.
And then we went to Pizzeria Due's for dinner.
It was practically the best day of my life.
Surprisingly, I have not yet exposed my sons to many plays.
Similar reasons apply - three kids, no dog, and one income. Yet
when I was offered tickets to go see "The Christmas Schooner" at
the Mercury Theater, I jumped at the chance. It is a
family-friendly performance about a brave ship's captain who risks
everything to transport Christmas trees across icy Lake Michigan.
His inspiration? A letter from a cousin lamenting how the German
immigrants of Chicago longed for "the Tannenbaum" of childhood.
When we arrived, I was delighted with the small venue. It
guaranteed an intimate performance. The place was immaculate. There
was also an abundance of bathroom stalls - no long lines at
intermission! Best of all? There was an adjoining bar that allowed
you to take your plastic cup right to your seat.
The show itself had plenty of subtle humor and enough "action"
to keep my boys enthralled. I was impressed by the quality of the
voices, though my sons nudged me a few times to ask, "Why do they
keep SINGING?"
Additionally, we had the good fortune of attending on "Dunkin'
Donuts Night." We each grabbed a frosted on our way out.
Then we headed to Pizzeria Due's for dinner.
My theater experience has come full circle. I developed an early
love of the stage courtesy of a magical Christmas show, and now I
had provided the same for my sons. Though to be fair, my kids can
recite every lyric from Rent, Wicked, Man of La Mancha, and Les
Miserables. My husband groans whenever he starts up the minivan
only to be blasted with "Popular."
By the end of the night, I felt a bit like heroic Captain Peter
Stossel. Instead of risking life and limb to ensure the next
generation of children would know the wonders of the Christmas
tree, I braved Lake Shore Drive. IN HOLIDAY TRAFFIC. ON A SATURDAY.
But the joy on my boys' faces after the show and while they
devoured Chicago deep dish was well worth the risk.
If anyone is interested in making a musical about my
unparalleled valor, I am not opposed.

Mitt Romney has issued a broadside against Barack Obama's foreign policy, charging the President with endangering US interests by allowing long- time alliances to fray and international tensions to fester.
"It is our responsibility and the responsibility of our president to use America's great power to shape history, not to lead from behind, leaving our destiny at the mercy of events," Mr Romney said in a speech at Virginia Military Institute. "Unfortunately, that is exactly where we find ourselves."
In a speech that laid out few new details about what he would do differently from Mr Obama, Mr Romney criticised the President's handling of developments in the Middle East and North Africa and his efforts to wind down American military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. The former Massachusetts governor called for a more muscular assertion of US power and increased defence spending, arguing that such an assertive posture was the only way to avert future conflicts.
"If America does not lead, others will – others who do not share our interests and our values – and the world will grow darker," Mr Romney told an audience of cadets and military officials in Lexington, Virginia, on his fifth visit to the swing state in the past four weeks. "America's security and the cause of freedom cannot afford four more years like the last four years."
Until now Mr Romney's campaign has focused almost exclusively on the domestic economy.
The Obama campaign has released an advertisement portraying Mr Romney as a bumbler on foreign policy, highlighting criticism he received for his conduct of a July trip to Europe and his haste to attack the administration after the killing of the US ambassador to Libya in Benghazi on September 11.
"If this is how he handles the world now, just think of what Mitt Romney might do as president," the ad says.
Speaking at the alma mater of the late former Secretary of State General George Marshall, Romney sought to place himself squarely in line with the bipartisan approach to foreign policy that Marshall personified.
"America has a proud history of strong, confident, principled global leadership – a history that has been written by patriots of both parties," Mr Romney said. "Unfortunately, this president's policies have not been equal to our best examples of world leadership."
Yet the speech also promoted a hawkish US stance more often associated with the former president George Bush jnr, including a call for a more forceful approach than Mr Obama has taken to developments overseas and a larger defence budget to deter potential adversaries.
Mr Romney built on his call for a tougher line on Iran, including the imposition of stiffer sanctions than the president has set and the restoration of permanently stationed aircraft-carrier task forces in the region.
"For the sake of peace, we must make clear to Iran through actions – not just words – that their nuclear pursuit will not be tolerated," Mr Romney said.
Mr Romney walked a delicate political line with the address as he reached out to swing voters, some of whom might be put off by memories of Mr Bush's foreign policy and are tired of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that shaped his presidency.
The Republican strategist John Ullyot, a former spokesman for the Senate Armed Services Committee, said before the address Mr Romney's statements to date had been "more in the hawkish or neoconservative point of view, and the question I think in this speech is whether, like he did in the debate, he's able to tack back to a more centrist, statesman, Republican-establishment stance.
"He needs to criticise the administration, on the one hand, politically, but that pushes him in a direction where he's more hawkish, and there's a definite bitter aftertaste with most moderates with that approach."
Mr Obama's campaign argues that Mr Romney's positions are outside the "mainstream" of foreign policy thinking. In a memorandum circulated by the Obama campaign, foreign policy aides said the Republican challenger had criticised the president with "swagger and slogans", without offering specifics about how he would handle ending the war in Afghanistan, dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions, or confronting unrest in the Middle East and North Africa.
The President is seeking to regain footing after a lacklustre debate performance, but Mr Romney still trails in the states most likely to decide the election. The electoral map has narrowed to as few as eight states, with two debates remaining between Mr Obama and Mr Romney and the lone vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan, due on Thursday.

Fall is always special in the Ozarks, but the hills and hollers are never more alive than when the football Razorbacks are winning.
For more than 100 years, University of Arkansas fans have held lofty expectations for their beloved Hogs. And one would be hard- pressed to identify a time when excitement was higher than now. Most preseason polls put the Razorbacks within the nation's top 20, and some prognosticators believe they might con- tend for the national championship.
"It's fun for our players to start the season off again this year ranked in the top 20. We take pride in that," fourth-year head coach Bobby Petrino told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette for a recent article. "But I still think it's a situation where talk is cheap. We have to show it. We have to establish that we're going to be there year-in and year-out."
After struggling to a 5-7 record in Petrino's debut season, UA improved to 8-5 in 2009, clos- ing with a 20-17 victory over East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl.
The Hogs were even better in 2010, finishing the regular season 10-2 and earning a Bowl Championship Series bid. Despite a 31-26 loss to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl last Jan. 4, the 10-3 effort earned UA the No. 12 spot in the final AP Top 25 poll.
"I felt like we were really close last year," said Petrino, who resigned as head coach of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons to take the Arkansas job. "And that motivates me to work harder and get there, and before it's over with I want to have a national championship. That's something that really motivates me."
Certainly, no issue looms larger in the coming season than how effective redshirt junior Tyler Wilson will be in replacing NFL-departed star quarterback Ryan Mallett. But Wilson has indicated the past two springs and in occasional game appearances that he is more than capa- ble of directing Petrino's wide-open offense.
Wilson's offensive supporting cast includes one of the nation's speediest and most talented receiving corps, an all-Southeastern Confer- ence performer in running back Knile Davis and an experienced tight end in Chris Gragg. Graduation left holes in the offensive line, but size and talent is abundant among the candidates.
Meanwhile, with seven starters back, the senior-laden defense appears rock solid. De- fensive end Jake Bequette and safety Tramain Thomas both earned All-SEC honors last season and return as seniors.
UA home games are played at two locations. Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fay- etteville is the Hogs' on-campus home. It seats about 72,000 and underwent major renovations in 2000-01. The Razorbacks will open there Sept. 3 against Mis- souri State.
The Razorbacks' "other home" is 54,000-seat War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, site of two games each year. For 2011, Little Rock games are New Mexico on Sept. 10 and Mississippi State on Nov. 19.
Ticket information for all UA sporting events is available by call- ing (800) 982-4647 or online at arkansasrazorbacks.com.
Razorback Basketball
The basketball Razorbacks will have a fresh look this season, but one that will have a familiar ring for longtime fans.
Seeking an answer to more than a decade of mediocrity that has seen the Hogs advance no fur- ther than the second round of the NCAA tournament, UA officials lured Mike Anderson away from Missouri to become head coach.
Anderson, 51, was an assistant throughout Nolan Richardson's 17 years (1985-2002) as UA head coach, during which the Razor- backs made three Final Four appearances, including winning the national championship in 1994 and finishing second in '95.
Anderson is a firm believer in his mentor's up-tempo style of basketball, so UA fans can expect plenty of action when the Hogs take the floor in late fall.
"When people come into this building, I want it to be two hours that's sheer entertainment," Anderson told the Democrat-Gazette shortly after his hiring. "If you leave from your seat to go to the restroom, you're going to miss out on something. That's the kind of atmosphere we want here." Home games are played at BudWalton Arena on the UA campus in Fayetteville. The 2011-12 schedule is not yet set but will appear in Northwest Arkansas Newspapers as soon as it is finalized, and also online at nwaonline.com and wholehogsports.com.
Razorback Baseball
With one of the finest stadiums in the nation and a consistently competitive team, baseball is far more than a spring pastime for the Razorbacks and their fans.
The 2011 team finished 40-22 overall and 15-15 in SEC play, advancing to NCAA Regional competition at Tempe, Ariz., before eventually bowing out to Arizona State.
Roughly, the baseball season runs mid-February through the end of May, when the SEC Tour- nament is held. NCAA post-sea- son play is held in June.
UA home games are played at the plush Baum Stadium, with its 10,737 seats (8,237 chairbacks) and other amenities that are second to none.
Other UA Sports
Other varsity UA sports in- clude track and field and cross- country, in which the Razorbacks have won an unprecedented 40 NCAA national championships, including 12 straight NCAA indoor titles from 1984 to 1995.
That success played a role in the construction of top-shelf facilities including the Randal Tyson Track Center for indoor competition and John McDon- nell Field, named for the Hogs' legendary former head coach.
Additionally, UA fields teams in women's basketball, golf (men and women), gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis (men and women) and volleyball.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Before there was a First Friday or a Roosevelt Row, the best — and for a while, the only — place to find alternative contemporary art was Alwun House. Folks looking for a funky, big-city art scene had only Alwun, downtown's first gallery, to rely on for "something different," art-wise. The first independent non-profit art space, Alwun set the current trend of galleries' advocating for artists with its Alwun House Foundation, the first local arts organization to address the significance of historical buildings.
The name is phonetic for "all one," as in "we're all in this together," a principle that Alwun House founders Kim Moody and Dana Johnson have clung to since purchasing the old, dilapidated property and commencing their rehabilitation on the house and property in 1971. Built in 1912 by shop owner John Sedler, Alwun originally rested on five acres on the northeast corner of 12th Street and Roosevelt, overlooking alfalfa fields south of Roosevelt, before there were even sidewalks out that way. Following its funky restoration, Alwun House quickly became the first gallery in downtown Phoenix, and has stayed on as a maverick torchbearer for the downtown arts community. Its central floor houses an art gallery; its basement is home to a multi-media theater, and its rambling backyard gardens and patio are the settings for poetry slams, music concerts, and exhibits by local visual and performance artists. Alwun's annual Exotic Art Show showcases uncensored and frankly naughty works, and its bar and cafe make this a jumping joint for any kind of off-hours party. Alwun's a three-decades-old mainstay among those of us who need an alternative art fix.
How is it that we've scraped this town, year after year, searching for drinking digs without ever coming across this little gem? The Ice House Tavern is really kind of a messed-up idea — but in a creepy, fantastic way. Anyone who grew up in Phoenix probably skated at Arcadia Ice Arena at least once in his or her life. Little did we know as fumbling, tumbling idiots on the rink that drunks were watching us the entire time. Yep, there's a bar connected to the rink where boozers can slurp their cocktails and peer through windows to the rink while wobbly skaters slide around on the ice. In 2009, local hipsters latched onto this hole in the wall and celebrated its slightly seedy — definitely cuckoo — novelty.
It's a bit of a haul for most Phoenicians — just over the Pinal County line south of Queen Creek — but a trip to San Tan Flat on a Saturday night is a real treat. Live music from a rollicking country band, a nice wide dance floor, and great food give this place an overall excellent atmosphere, but it's the wood-burning fire pits that really set the stage for a special night. Grab some wood off the pile and toss it on the coals, then buy some marshmallows from behind the bar. Before you know it, you'll be living the saloon's slogan: "All the fun of camping out, without having to sleep on the ground."
We love the Autostrada panini. And we love the smoked salmon bruschetta. And Postino Central's wine list is not only imaginative but always features several of our favorite libations. But what we really love most about this new-ish cafe (located in the old Katz's Deli building on North Central) is that seating on the patio lets us watch three entirely different slices of life, all at once. We can ogle the bar crowd that's hanging out just beyond the patio (where it's pretty easy to strike up a conversation with like-minded wine lovers at the next table), so our desire to watch drunk people hooking up is sated. Beyond that, the dining room is always filled with people having klatch-y catch-up meetings and clandestine conferences (last time we were there, we witnessed a mother-daughter donnybrook having to do with short skirts and withheld tuitions — scandalous!). And Postino's wide, single-pane picture window offers views of the street beyond the dining room. We can even see, from way back on the patio, the comings and goings at the Circle K across the street — which is a lot more interesting than you'd imagine. We're lurkers at heart, and we see a lot more than crusty bread and wine bottles when we hang at Postino Central.
We've always wondered: Where do bars and clubs go when they die (i.e., close)? Whisked away to the nightspot great beyond after falling to a wrecking ball, perhaps, never to return (like Tempe's Long Wong's)? Or maybe reincarnation into a completely new identity is in order, like when the old Mason Jar became gay dive Velocity 2303. In the case of The Sail Inn in Tempe, the legendary hippie hangout was revived, Lazarus-style, in its original location by owner Gina Lombardi. The original version of the Sail closed after it was bought out by real estate developers in late 2005, ultimately becoming the ill-conceived danceteria Trax, which fizzled out after 18 months. Fortunately, Lombardi swept in and resurrected her old stomping grounds earlier this year, upgrading the décor in the process. And though its look may have changed, Lombardi's continuing the old habit of booking a wide variety of musicians — ranging from the jam-rockers of Xtra Ticket and The Noodles to burgeoning indie acts like Black Carl — nearly every night since re-opening. It couldn't have happened at a better time, too, as The Sail Inn is just about the only dedicated music venue in downtown Tempe, an area once renowned for its live bands. Thanks, Gina.
Since debuting in January, Cream Stereo Lounge has endured a significant amount of both love and hate, much like any new nightspot. Its supporters easily gush about its mix of European and Las Vegas-style touches, including swimsuit-clad models engaging in burlesque-like bathtub shows. The haters, on the other side of the coin, have groused about alleged rude service, the club's minuscule size, and overpriced covers. But over the past few months, the grumblings have quieted down and the place is more popular than ever. One factor in its success has been the selection of superstar DJs that have been booked to spin here. The list is quite impressive, including Lee Burridge, Paul Oakenfold, George Acosta, and Paul van Dyk, just to name a few. Like the saying goes, the Cream rises to the top.

The wonderful people at Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center have helped many Great Horned Owls in the Colorado Springs area over the years. It's spring time, and once again - baby owl time. Please donate to this fabulous organization that help rehabilitate and release these beautiful creatures!
I've been involved with Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center from the time shortly after they began. They give 110% to wildlife. Decisions are always based on the welfare of the animals. I particularly admire the continued contact they have with people who find injured or orphaned wildlife. I feel comfortable telling people who have found an animal that EWRC will keep in touch with them about the animal. Seeing someone who has found an injured animal and had it taken to ELWC then getting to release that animal back into the wild is the most incredible experience I have ever had. They are absolutely wonderful.
The EWRC is wonderful! No animal or bird is turned away. I found a bird with one leg and half his beak missing. Donna took him, told me that his beak will grow back and he will be just fine. She was right! Everytime I go out there they are making cages bigger and better for the birds they have. Nothing is greater than watching a recovered bird fly away. Donna is incredible!
Previous Stories
Absolutely the greatest! I found a injured bird in my background, I didn't have any idea where to take him or how to help him. I found Donna's center and she gave me all the information to help this bird. After the vet visit, it went to the Ellicott center. Donna was so great she called me to tell me how the bird was doing. When I went out to the center, I saw a happy bird, his beak had grown back and his leg was fine. Because of my experience with Donna I started to volunteer for the DOW.
Review from Guidestar
These people are not only compassionate but knowledgeable in the help and rehabilitation of Colorado's unfortunate animals that come to them for whatever reason. The are truely dedicated and hopefully they will be able to continue the wonderful that they do.
I am a volunteer for the Colorado Division of Wildlife. EWRC is one our areas long standing wildlife rehabiltators. Since Colorado Springs is growing so quickly wildlife has been put under extreme pressure to quickly adapt to our new city life style. Without the leadership of EWRC organization and selfless efforts of their caregivers many of the wildlife victims of this growth would have perished. EWRC's efforts have enabled the survivors to imprint new ways to adapt to their changing enviornment. This has enable a more harmonious change in the environment by allowing us to keep more of the wonders of naure while under going urban growth.
Review from Guidestar
As a retired wildlife rehabilitator I can honestly say that the work Donna does is incredable, she works so hard for the wildlife brought into her care every year. In the last few years she has built an awesome rehabilation center and gained the respect of hundreds of people. I look forward to continuing the volunteer work and helping her in any way.
This is a great organization that provides care to injured animals primarily for birds of prey. I have worked with them by providing volunteer injured animal transport both to and from the facility (via the Colorado Dept. of Wildlife). They provide a caring and nurturing place for injured wild animals to recuperate and then be released back into the areas found. They have very good facilities that rival what is found in any professional group similar to them. Donna and Ralph have put all their hearts into this project both to provide care for the animals and education to the community at large. I plan to continue to help them in anyway possible in the future.
Review from Guidestar
This is a wonderful cause. Donna and Phil work relentlessly and thier efferts many times go unnoticed. One of the best ways to get the information out is through education. It was amazing to see what a little article can do to bring awareness and spark interest about Ellicott Wildlife Rehab Center. Donna and Phil, I want you to know that you are appriciated and you are doing a great service to ensure the on going survival of our local wildlife. Keep up the good work!
Review from Guidestar
As nonprofits go, Ellicott stretches their limited resources and manpower better than any I know. Despite their challenges they meet their goals and give quality care to sick & injured wildlife time and time again. What a great track record and such NICE people doing great and wonderful things. I want to be just like them when I grow up.
Review from Guidestar
Ellicott Wildlife Center does a tremendous job in taking care of hurt and/or abandon animals, birds. They take in all cirtters in need of care and through their resources of volunteers are truly able to make a difference. Most animals are treated and healed for release back into wildlife. EWC also has an excellent childrens education outreach program.

Winds do little damage in West Seattle
The first wind event of the year came and went with only minor impacts in West Seattle overnight. At around 7:30 pm a tree in the Highland Park neighborhood fell and caused a transformer to fail. 28 people were without power for a few hours as City Light crews located the tree and took chainsaws to it to clear it, then put the equipment back on line ahead of schedule.
The wind did not really get going until the 3:00 am hour and based on the City Light System Status map did not cause any further outages.
If you have photos or reports of wind damage please send them to email@example.com

Diy picture frame light
I am thinking about making my own picture frame light. The ones you can buy are so exoensive and there's really not much too them. Is there anyone on here that has done this and posted anything about it? Thanks guys!
I used to have many gallery clients for whom I painted and did lighting so bought fixtures all of the time. All were into contemporary art so frame lights were not real popular. Most people added lighting tracks.
I can see making your own fixture if you needed a custom length or something but I found them cheaper than I could make them. Of course the ones in art stores and framing shops and magazines are outrageous but do a more general internet search and see if you don't find something you like better.
Otherwise, as you say, there is really nothing to either the incandescent, florescent or LED ones but some lamp hardware, wire bracket and housing. Make sure you can get the bulb you have in mind in the color temperature you want and with a color rendering index above 95. Then find components from there I guess.
Yea I'm going to have to do some research on this project before I just dive in. Thank you for the input. I'll post some pics of the final product I construct.

Gauging interest in trimmings (NW Indiana)
I have a basic emersed plant setup growing ludwigia repens, moneywort, cryptocoryne wendtii "green", alternanthera reineckii "cardinalis", an amazon sword, and some leftover HC (the last two won't be ready for a long time). All of these have been growing in miracle gro organic choice potting mix. Most were actually in my 20 gallon before it was taken over by BBA. This was the perfect way to salvage the plants that I took out of the tank.
Also, I may have trimmings of brazilian pennywort and regular riccia sometime soon from my 20 gallon. So, I am wondering if there is any local (NW Indiana) interest in any of the trimmings when the time comes. I would have put them up in the sale part of the forum, but I don't want to attempt shipping anything in the cold.
The crypts and alternanthera are from the packages at petsmart. The crypts in the pots have not been put into an aquarium yet. Depending on how many I actually have, I may have some malaysian trumpet snails if there is interest. It is hard to count them since they aren't out often. So, if anyone is interested, let me know. I have put the alternanthera and crypts in my tank, and so far the transition hasn't effected them (pressurized CO2 and EI dosing). Here's some pictures of the plants I have.
The riccia is on the suction cup shelf
Here are the crypts a week after starting them, now 5-6 weeks in. I started with two pots with two plants, and they it is now 1 pot per plant. They are starting to run out of room again.
Those are some nice looking plants. Wish I was closer.
Thanks, I am going to be shipping to someone in California, so I will see if it goes well. If it does I may reevaluate shipping the plants in the cold :).
I'd love to pick some up from you (Chesterton). I'd only want submerged plants that have remained submerged, tho.
Great looking plants and tank!
Thanks! I actually set up a new tank for most of the plants in that tank, and I got some new humidity domes with single T5HO's for growing some more emersed plants :).
I maybe interested in the future as well, once they are submerged. I'm in Crown Point.
When I have more submerged stuff in the future I will let you know also.
Here is a new picture of the plants, not the best shot but it works. I added java moss, limnophila aromatica, rotala rotundifolia, and some HC. I think I may try some of these in a riparium to see how they do.

PHOTO: Is This What PLUS SIZE Looks Like???
WHOA! There's a lot of backlash over the post below from COSMO MAGAZINE.

Meet Robyn Lawley. She's an Austrailian model that recently posted un-touched up pics to her Instagram account.
We gotta ask... is this really what 'plus size' looks like??
Feel free to comment below... would love to hear your thoughts!

Been to Ming's many times and never disappointed! The very best Hot and Sour soup anywhere and the sesame chicken is superb. We love this place! Wish we were still in Denver...miss it very much!
They don't offer free refills. What a joke. Don't waste your time or money.
11/10/2009Provided by Citysearch -
Local, iconic, fantastic Chinese food with surprisingly great atmosphere. I'm guessing whoever started P.F. ""Chains"" got their concept from Ming's Dynasty. The waiter we had was amazing....loved his attitude and jokes. The staff is very attentive and showed their service with a smile. I would much rather support a local iconic restaurant than a chain that you can find in any city. This place is a gem!
02/26/2009Provided by Citysearch -
This was the worst chinese I've ever eaten. The lunch buffet was ten dollars per person. The selection was remarkably small, and seemed like it'd been sitting there a while. Anything fried was revolting, because they needed to change their frying oil months ago. This place should be shut down, because all three of us have felt sick since we went there yesterday. I strongly recommend avoiding this place at all costs.
I love Ming's Dynasty, and have eaten there for years. Their Shark Fin Soup, Shrimp Toast are by far my favorites! I've tried many different items on their extensive menu, and haven't been dissapointed once. Highly recommended.

I have lived in Denver all my life and have come here numerous times. I have never been disapointed in the food. They have the best Sesame Chicken I have ever had, there hot and sour soup is wonderful, and the atmosphere has always been very pleasent and the staff was nice. However the last time I went in there I was very disapointed in the way my children and I were treated. They had always been fair with there prices until recently. A 5 and 7 year old should not be charged $6.50 per child. When I asked about the high price they looked at me, walked off then looked at each other and started speaking in chinese and pointing at us. Needless to say I have not been back since which is a bummer, it was my favorite restaurant.
10/23/2007Provided by Citysearch -
I am fortunate enough to live within Ming's small delivery area. Even if I wasn't, I'd drive over there and either dine in or carry out. I've been eating food from Ming's on a regular basis for two years now. Rarely disappointed, I'm already dreading the day I move out of my apartment simply because I won't be in their delivery area. The cheese wontons, scallion beef, curry chicken, pork fried rice, sesame beef & slippery chicken are some of my favorites. Always rich in flavor and always a treat. This isn't your average delivery Chinese, I highly recommend ordering out, or dining in at their beautiful restaurant.
04/01/2007Provided by Citysearch -
I have been all over Denver looking for great chinese food and this is it! The best crab cheese wontons in town. I had the teriyaki beef which was excellent and I also recommend their dumplings. The prices aren't expensive and the restaurant is very nice with clean bathrooms! I will be back!
02/21/2007Provided by Citysearch -
Ming's is one of the best Chinese Restaurants in Denver. They just remolded the dining room and bar to a beautiful contemopary Chinese look. they now even have a patio, one of the few for a Chinese restaurant.
We celebrated Chinese New Years this year at Ming's. The food and service could not have been better. the owners and wait staff are so caring and make you feel like family. The bockchoe and shrimp is a must try. The peking duck to die for and the lamb are out of this world. Be sure to try a noodle dish and the shrimp toast!! Ming's is just plane the BEST!!
12/21/2006Provided by Citysearch -
My wife and I were introduced to this restaurant by a family friend when we first moved to Denver 8 years ago. Having since found much better Chinese restaurants, we no longer consider the food above average, however the wait staff was very helpful.

WH Smith has suffered a hangover on book sales in its second half after coming up against a sizzling performance from passion best-sellers such as Fifty Shades of Grey, last summer.
But the stationery retailer said its stores in hospitals, stations, motorways and airports, including overseas, had delivered "good" trading, and profits for the year to August 31 would be "in line" with City expectations of £107 million. In a pre-close update, WH Smith said its High Street business had produced a "solid performance", despite its facing "the relatively strong publishing schedule" in the second half of last year, when Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James became an international publishing sensation.
Shares in WH Smith today rose by 2.5p to 815.5p, valuing the company at more than £1 billion.

Wes St. Jon, "The Oilfield Cowboy", was born in Maryland and grew up on Tilghman Island, located in the Chesapeake Bay on Maryland's eastern shore. He developed an interest in playing guitar at age 14, and formed a band, playing at dances throughout his high school years. He worked in data processing for a couple of years after he graduated from school, with a company called Wilson Laurel Farms in Federalsburg, Maryland. He then enlisted in the Navy where he did a four year tour of duty, having a band while stationed on Guam and playing to entertain the sailors on ship when he was stationed aboard the U.S.S.Belmont.
After his release from the Navy, Wes went back to work for Wilson Laurel Farms, still wanting to pursue a career in music. He met his current wife, Faye, and they decided to move close to Nashville and be closer to the music business, so they settled in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. After four years there, Wes had an opportunity to go on the road to Jacksonville, Florida and entertain at a Holiday Inn. He told his wife to pack enough clothes for two weeks. Eight years later, they were still traveling! While entertaining in Louisiana, during the oil boom of the late 1970's, Wes got a chance to meet many people who worked in the Oilfield. Although he knew nothing about their way of life, he got to know and like them and started hanging out with them to learn some of their terminology. They would tease Wes when he was entertaining saying, "Play us an oilfield song!" Then they would laugh because there were no oilfield songs.
Wes decided it would be a great idea to write some music for the oilfield, so he took about a year and visited rigs, talking with all of the oilfield workers he could, learning their language and terminology. Then, he wrote ten songs, went to Nashville, recorded the music, called his album "Oilfield Cowboy", and the oilfield has been enjoying the music ever since.
People ask Wes if he has ever worked in the oilfield. The answer is no. He wrote the songs strictly from research only. He thinks the oilfield workers are the most unappreciated group of people in the country! So he has since done three more CD's - Patch Pride in 2006, and Boom Or Bust in 2010, and Cheater Pipe Tight in 2014. All four CD's have been done in Nashville with some of the finest pickers in the business. Musicians like Terry McMillan - finest harmonica player ever - Chris Leuzinger and Bruce Bouton - both played on all of Garth's music. Bruce Watkins - great rhythm guitar, fiddle, banjo, lead guitar player. Did a world tour with Dolly Parton in 2011. Jason Webb - awesome piano player - Jeff King - awesome lead guitar now playing with Reba McIntyre - Gordon Mote - extreme piano player - Duncan Mullins and Jimmy Carter - great bass players - and Tommy Wells on drums.
