This is a pretty tiered dress. I would have to wear a long cardigan over it now because it is cold but it would be great in the summer too! Love it!

LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Added 8 Years Ago from Forever 21
dress looks georgous onAdded 8 Years Ago from Forever 21
really short
This dress flatters a few different body types because it will hide your trouble areas if you are big in the hips, but it will also add shape to girls without curves. I also really love how they paired it with edgy tights.Added 8 Years Ago from Empirestores
Girly Grecian Chic. It comes in black too, but I think that the peach (pictured) is just fantastic.
Probably the only ruffly tiered thing I'd wear, and I love it. The neutrals make it so classy and appropriate for the streets of any city.
An off the shoulder tiered white and pink dress. Besides being awesome it looks realllllllll comfortable.
I love J.C and this is going to be one of my favorite summer shoes I know it! Always comfy, always true to size, and always sizzlin hot!
How can it be summer without a hot pink dress? How about a tight hot pink dress?
I recommended this dress (gown version) and just thought it was glamorous enough again to recommend the shorter version as well. I think it is the ultimate special occasion dress.
How about this pretty shirt! It is so cool!Added 9 Years Ago from Brownsfashion
A sophisticated evening dress with a contrast bodice and sleek tiered skirt.
I love the gradation of pink and the tiers in this maxi.
The ruffled neckline, tiers and texture make this dress out of the ordinary.
A red tiered mini dress. This dress would look GREAT with huge heels.Tags: Clothes, fashion, style, dresses, red, Tiered, mini dress, valentine's dressAdded 9 Years Ago from eDressMe

The Kardashians Create a Jewelry Line
Can anyone really keep up with the Kardashians?
Kourtney, Kim and Khloe are making their dash-dolly mark all over Hollywood and their latest venture is jewelry. We're getting a vintage warrior goes glam vibe from the edgy collection and we'd really like to get our hands on a pair of the dangerously spiked earrings.
Kim and Khloe took to their blogs to express their giddy excitement about the collaboration with Virgins Saints & Angels that is inspired by their Armenian culture.
We can't wait to shop the Kardashy line at Blue Bee, Sparkle Fred Segal and Nordstrom. But don't get too eager; it will be a while before the line premieres. Say, in February at the 2010 Project Trade Show.

For several decades, voting in most states was limited to white male landowners, called freeholders. Gradually, the franchise, or right to vote, expanded to include non-landowners, then African-American men, then women, and eventually people as young as 18. The process had its twists and turns; it was far from a straight line of ever-expanding voting rights. And it involved the federal government taking a larger role in defining who made up the electorate, or people who could vote. This series traces that complicated process.
Lessons 2 through 5 draw on reports from the NBC Learn archives. Some are primary sources—news reports from the period that students are exploring as well as some historical documents. These primary sources will help students understand how people at the time were thinking about events. Other NBC Learn materials are secondary sources—news reports that look back on some of the key events in voting rights history and tie them to more current events. These sources help students see how historical events reverberate and affect their own lives.
Expanding Voting Rights is a series of five lessons:
- The Early Republic (Lesson 1) has students examine what the Constitution did—and did not—say about voting rights; then has them explore the first major expansion of voting rights: the inclusion of white men who did not own property.
- African Americans Face and Fight Obstacles to Voting (Lesson 2) begins with the Reconstruction amendments to the Constitution, the first time the power of the states to set their own requirements was limited. But the story of African-American suffrage unfolded over the next 100 years. In Lesson 2, students learn about the obstacles that prevented African Americans in many states from exercising their right to vote, and their fight to dismantle those obstacles.
- The Voting Rights Act, 1965 and beyond (Lesson 3) focuses on the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Students explore why it was necessary, and then look at recent attempts to end its protections.
- Women's Suffrage (Lesson 4) returns to the past, with students exploring how women won the right to vote, another historical moment in which there was change at the national level.
- Finally, The 26th Amendment (Lesson 5) has students exploring the Constitutional Amendment that granted 18-year-olds the right to vote.

American troops have a strong presence around the globe, serving in 75 percent of the world's countries, yet "one soldier told me they are starving for spiritual support," said Cheri Lomonte, founder of Frontline Faith.
The Catholic nonprofit organization gives MP3 players loaded with the Mass, stories and prayers to active-duty members of the military.
In the two years since its founding, Frontline Faith has distributed 30,000 MP3 players. The organization started with Lomonte, a Catholic radio host from Austin, Texas, creating a Catholic MP3 player with recordings of Mass, prayers, Scripture readings and words of encouragement to members of the military.
Although the first two years of the organization brought in enough donations to cover the orders, they are left with a shortage of donation money and 1,500 requests for players they can't fill.
"Americans think the war is over because they see pictures of troops coming home," Lomonte told Catholic News Service in a telephone interview. "What people don't realize is there are still 60,000 troops in Afghanistan and there are more troops going out in December."
Lomonte came up with the MP3 idea after learning that soldiers can go months without access to a military chaplain. The aim of the player was to be a supplement to scripture readings in response to a lack of Catholic chaplains.
Last February, at the request of a Methodist pastor, a Protestant version of the MP3 player were recorded and distributed.
The players cost $24 each and are specifically for active-duty military, those preparing to deploy and those in military hospitals. The project's website lists ways to help with the project, including how to follow it on Facebook, how to connect a parish to the effort and how to donate money to support it.
Fr. Phil Mahalic, an Army chaplain with the rank of colonel, distributes the Frontline players to troops before they deploy and overseas when they attend Mass. He told CNS in a recent telephone interview that there are 326 slots for Catholic priests to serve as military chaplains, but only 89 of those are filled.
Because of an overall shortage of priests and dioceses being reluctant to release priests they need to serve in the military as chaplains, soldiers are left with infrequent visits from chaplains. Lomonte said some soldiers go months without seeing a chaplain, let alone a Catholic chaplain.
"The MP3 players are an educational tool and a spiritual motivator," Mahalic said. One new tool is a series of videos called "Faith in the Crosshairs," written and hosted by Mahalic, which can be accessed online for free.
Mahalic, a priest of the Diocese of Lafayette, Ind., said the players are an important evangelization tool. "They are one more step in the right direction, it gives them moral and spiritual support they need," he added.
Priests released by dioceses to be chaplains serve the U.S. Archdiocese for the Military Services, which provides pastoral care to Catholics in all branches of the military, their families and those at Veterans Affairs hospitals nationwide.
Deacon Paul Rodriguez, a chaplain's assistant in the Texas National Guard with the 36th Infantry Division and in ministry at St. Margaret Mary Parish in Cedar Park, Texas, received a player in Seattle as he prepared for deployment to Iraq in December 2010.
"I looked for information about it online and saw that it was part of 'Mary's Touch,' a program I had listened to," Rodriguez, who holds the rank of sergeant first class, told Catholic Spirit, the newspaper of the Diocese of Austin, Texas. "I contacted her and asked her for 50. She sent 150. They went so fast, I asked her for another 400."
He said the players were helpful, given the lack of chaplains to meet spiritual needs. "I was a division senior assistant chaplain in charge of South Iraq," he said. "There are only 20 (chaplains), which is about one per brigade."
When priests are not available, chaplain assistants such as Rodriguez pick up the slack.
"It felt good giving the soldiers something with some 'meat' on it," he said of the MP3 players. "I didn't have to improvise because I knew it came from good Catholic sources. It made my job a lot easier being able to give them that along with pamphlets and rosaries."
This year for the first time, Frontline produced something for the friends and family of military members at home: a CD which has stories of "hope and inspiration" of the friends and family of members of the military.
"It's not only the people who serve that make the sacrifice, but also the people who stay home," Lomonte said. "Think of how many people are affected by a deployment. The people at the home front need encouragement, too."
Lomonte attributes everything from the idea to the logistics and funding to the Holy Spirit. "I got a calling which I can't explain," she said, "except for the fact that I wake up every morning and I say 'Here I am. Lord, your servant, what do you want me to do?'"

Quarterback Tom Brady had a big season with a bad finish. Now, there's more he's got to deal with.
According to the Boston Globe, the New England Patriots QB is expected to undergo surgery to repair a lingering stress fracture in his right foot. The Globe said Brady would have the surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital on Thursday, or Monday at the latest.
George Theodore, the Patriots' team physical, will perform the operation, which might involved the insertion of a screw.
Brady is expected to win the league's MVP Award after leading the Pats to a 14-2 record and throwing for 36 touchdowns with just four interceptions. He set an NFL record for consecutive passes without an interception (339).
The Patriots were eliminated from the AFC playoffs Sunday by the New York Jets, 28-21. Brady threw two TD passes but also had one intercepted.
The Globe said Brady's injury may stem from a preexisting injury that has required him to wear a walking boot in the past. He was named a starter in the Jan. 30 Pro Bowl but has been replaced by his former backup, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel.

Flag Etiquette
General Display American Flag Etiquette
Flag Etiquette Half Staff
The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. On Memorial Day, the American flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff. By order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of the State, territory or possession, as a mark of respect to their memory.
Excerpts from The Flag Code of the
Display on Arm Patches
"No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart."
Display on Vehicles
The orientation of the flag on vehicle decals should be treated the same as arm patches. The National Flag Foundation suggests "The decals or paintings on a vehicle would also be placed so that the union on the driver's side of the vehicle would be to the viewer's left while the union on the passenger side of the vehicle would be to the viewer's right."

Schools across the state now have more flexibility in teaching math. And local leaders are thankful, though they aren't quite sure what they'll do with that freedom.
The Georgia Board of Education approved a recommendation Monday by State School Superintendent John Barge to allow four separate courses for those who may be struggling with the integrated math curriculum introduced in recent years.
Integrated math blends algebra, geometry and other math concepts in each class rather than separating them. Separate Georgia Performance Standards classes for algebra, geometry, advanced algebra and pre-calculus can now be taught in the more traditional fashion.
Melissa Stewart, math teacher on special assignment for Hall County Schools, said giving districts the flexibility to choose was the right decision. Districts can choose between traditional or integrated or use a combination of the two.
"Each school board has invested different amounts of money, and teachers have invested so much time in the current curriculum," she said. "Giving them a choice is the best."
She added that the changes may not be in place for long. In the next two years, the state will join 40 other states in adopting a math curriculum under the Common Core Standards. Common Core, a state-led initiative, creates a uniform set of rules for states in math and English.
Stewart said the district will look at online courses in April for students who have struggled with the integrated math. It would be implemented next school year.
"It could be in conjunction with other counties," she said.
She added, "a majority of our students will stay on the course we're on now, unless we see there's a better option for our kids."
Gainesville City Schools Superintendent Merrianne Dyer said the decision whether to include traditional math courses will ultimately be up to the Gainesville High School math team. The decision will have to be made soon, she added.
"We're planning scheduling and personnel now," she said. "We need to see if we have personnel to offer it on a full scale."
Any changes, she said would only apply to upcoming ninth-graders.
Dyer added that many students are doing well with integrated math and it's best not to have a knee-jerk reaction to the decision.
"It could be something other than the delivery system. We need to see what they're having trouble with," she said.
The Gainesville district also is considering online options.
"Online options may give us an option for some students to stay with discreet math without having a whole new group of personnel," Dyer said.
Associated Press contributed to this report.

Can HP G6-2235 handle Photoshop CS or Photoshop Elements 7?
aec2003 wrote:
I am thinking about buying this laptop but I'm not sure if it can handle either of the Photoshop programs that I have, CS and Elements 7. Here are the specs for the laptop
- Next Gen AMD A6-4400M 2.7GHz up to 3.2GHz 1MB L2 Accelerated Cache Processor
- 4GB DDR3 SDRAM (1 DIMM) Installed Memory
- 750GB 5400RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
- 15.6" diagonal HD (3) BrightView LED-backlit display (1366 x 768)
- Windows 8
Thanks for the help!
CS 2? CS4? 5? 32 bit or 64 bit ? The older versions are unlikely to run on Win 8, I'm pretty sure CS2 will not. That makes a difference. Elements 7 might run, though I'm not sure about the Win 8 compatibility, it was designed to run on equipment with less ram but I don't think you will be happy with the performance for photos larger than, say 12-16 mpx. So if you have a camera with > 16 mega pixels it's going to be marginal.
Loading them onto this machine won't hurt anything, I don't think, so you have nothing to lose by trying, in my judgement. I would try them out.
However perfectly good photo editors designed for Win 8 can be bought for less than $50 USD, (excellent ones for less than $100) and Gimp and others can be had legally for free (and they are pretty good editors in spite of their price! Many swear by Gimp). Just do an internet search for "free photo editors for Windows 8"
But for the larger photos, you are likely to need more RAM.
I still like soup. . .
Now that you've judged the quality of my typing, take a look at my photos. . .

Landlord tenant law concerns landlord and tenants' rights and responsibilities. Because the apartment you rent is your own personal space, the law places many limits on landlords' activities. For example, if a landlord tries to make you move without giving you enough notice, or ignores a rat infestation in your apartment, a landlord / tenant lawyer knows what options you have as a tenant. On the other hand, a landlord / tenant lawyer also helps landlords who have tenants breaking rules, such as moving out three months early or refusing to pay rent. Tenant eviction laws are very specific, with different rules in each city. If you are being evicted or if you have a tenant you want to evict, you may benefit from the services of a landlord / tenant lawyer.

The centre generates a net annual income of almost $3.5 million. The sale price represents an initial yield of 8.3 per cent. The property was offered for sale by an expressions of interest campaign launched in late 2011.
The sale was negotiated by Peter Tyson and Jon Tyson of Savills. The property was jointly marketed with John Quinlan and James Wilson of Knight Frank.
Settlement is due at the end of April.
Savills Queensland divisional director of retail sales, Peter Tyson, said there was solid interest in the centre. "Over 100 buyer inquiries were fielded during the marketing campaign with six competitive bids lodged, including two listed entities and four private investors," he said.
Stockland is moving from office and industrial properties to higher-return, less-volatile retail assets. The strategy has been self-funded through the sale of $795 million of assets so far for the year to June 30, 2012.
The property is the latest in a list of shopping centres to sell out of the Centro MCS 17 syndicate, which is being closed down. Centro Newcomb in Geelong, Victoria, and Centro Albion Park, NSW have sold out of the same syndicate.
Several shopping centres have been sold out of other
Centro Lutwyche in Brisbane is also on the market.

A SUPPORT group for parents and carers of those with special educational needs (SEN) is holding two launch events at Lancashire County Cricket Ground.
Trafford Parents Forum, set up in October last year by a core group of parents, aims to be 'at the very heart of' service provision for disabled children, young people and their families.
It aims to inform parents and carers about the changes to SEN policy in the borough following the government's Children and Families Bill reforms and the new education, health and social care plans replacing statements of special educational need.
Chairman Justine Bailey said: "With the current national and regional changes to SEN, it is vitally important that Trafford parents/carers know we exist, our aims and objectives and that we are working towards a real partnership of parents and professionals in key areas across the borough."
She added that it was imperative parents had 'a meaningful voice' and announced the forum's new strapline as: 'One voice, building partnerships and influencing change'.
The forum has recently moved to Oakland House, Talbot Road, where Voluntary Community Action Trafford, VCAT, is also located and hopes to increase its visibility through the social media and IT event.
The meetings will be held on Thursday, May 8 - the first one from 9.30am to 2.30pm, the second one from 6.30 to 9.30pm.
For more information 'phone 0161 872 0183 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kim Kardashian Can't Be Serious
What you're looking at is what happens when Kim Kardashian runs into a group of paparazzi she didn't call in advance and therefore have absolutely no qualms photographing her ass from behind. Heroes, if you will. On that note, I love how she tries to use her hand to block her ass. One fucking hand. Now I realize Kim Kardashian probably doesn't sit around reading up on the laws of physics, but I'm pretty damn sure she knows her way around a mirror. Or at the very least, has at one point asked the question, "What do you mean the guy at the circus said it'll be another week on my pants?"
NOTE: Notice how I zoomed in on all the places she was trying to hide? My hand slipped.

Is Williamsburg Virginia still on your vacation list after the Republican power grab?
Boycotting people, places and things in Virginia could become popular if they continue to allow gerrymandering of districts and ultrasound testing on women seeking an abortion. What do you think?

3. Yep.
Of course, I live in Virginia. Have virtually my entire life. The move by the Virginia Senate repubs was outrageous, but I see no reason to punish the entire state -- a state that has voted for President Obama twice and in which the Democrats have a shot at winning the governorship this year. If every time some repub legislators made a classless move it triggered a boycott we'd be running out of states in which to do business. The repubs action is getting a lot of publicity -- negative publicity -- across the state. A boycott would only serve to change the topic of discussion.

4. If you want to stop gerrymandering, talk to Democrats about it.
Criticizing gerrymandering hy one party is pointless unless you criticize it at large, and there's no way Republicans will change it if left to their own devices.
I think getting laws established which would require fair, non-partisan drawing of congressional districts would be the best thing Democrats could do. Would it hurt their numbers in a few places? I bet it would, but it also would set precedent.
It boggles my mind whenever I heard or read of someone supporting gerrymandering. It's just a disgusting, un-democratic practice and should be stopped.

7. Gerrymandering is illegal in many other countries
I understand that in many other countries, gerrymandering is illegal. Instead of partisan re-districting by the party in the majority, the job is done by independent commissions in countries like the UK and others. Until we have the same system, our method of re-districting makes our claim to be a democracy a sham. It's barely even worth it to vote.

11. How's that working out for you?
If it weren't for gerrymandering, Democrats would be in control of the house.
Why must Republicans be stopped? Is it because they do all sorts of bad shit? I think so. That's why I think gerrymandering carried out my any party is wrong. If I'm upset about someone hitting my balls with a hammer, I'm not going to see having someone else hit my balls with a hammer as a remedy.

20. The fact is that there is no way to know that.
You would have to know what the districts would look like without "gerrymandering" and that's impossible to know unless you know how the districts would be designed and on what basis. I'm not defending gerrymandering, just pointing out that there is no magically "correct" way of designing a Congressional district.
The apportionment and districting processes are pretty arcane. The objective elements are pretty clear. The Census determines what the size of an average Congressional district should be (roughly 710,000 post 2010). One district is assigned to each of the 50 states. After that a formula is used to assign additional districts, which ends up determining how many each state has. The largest district is the single district serving Montana (around 900,000 -- too small to divide into two districts) and the smallest is Rhode Island (500,000 plus). Within a state, each of its districts should have roughly the same number of people. In other words, a state can't create one district with 100,000 people and another with 1.3 million people -- that's the concept of "one man, one vote" at work.
So you've got to figure out how to divide up a state into a bunch of roughly equally sized districts. But population is not evenly distributed throughout states. There are densely populated areas and sparsely populated areas. You can't simply say "this county" is a district or "this city" is a district. Geopolitical units have to be divided and/or combined, in whole or in part. Existing geopolitical boundaries cannot simply be followed.
So at that point, a subjective element is inherently injected into the process. Someone has to decide how the lines should be drawn. It sucks, but that's the way it is. (I should note that in my state, Virginia, redistricting has cost Democrats seats overall, but it also has strengthened Democrats hold on other seats. Under the pre-2010 district lines, my Democratic Congressman won by the slimmest of margins. After redistricting, he cruised to victory.
Anyway, my point isn't to defend gerrymandering. Its to suggest that the alternatives are difficult and would not necessarily guarantee a Democratic house. There are objective measures for creating districts -- ones that rely as heavily as possible on contiguity of communties and existing geopolitical boundaries. But even the application of those formulae may require choices (go north, south,east or west in looking for a contiguous area). Plus populations shift over time within those areas.
Having a non-partisan group devise congressional districts is something that needs to be done to take the process out of the hands of self-interested officials (of both parties). But even an independent group needs to guidelines for how to set district boundaries. Should they try to make each district as evenly divided among likely voters for each party (based on past registration, precinct voting results, race and other demographic features?) If they do, some areas that are pretty homogeneous are going to have to be divided quite awkwardly to create "balance".
Again, I'll say it again. I don't defend the current system and believe it needs to change. But I don't think anyone can objectively prove what the results of the past election would be without gerryamandering unless they can show what the districts would actually have been under some alternative redistricting plan (keep in mind that the 2000 districts were also impacted by some degree of gerrymandering).

22. Ok, we don't have a magical crystal ball or a time machine.
We can't know exactly how anything may have changed if only one variable were to be altered. However, we do know that the majority of votes for Congress went to Democrats.
I disagree that any human subjectivity goes into the process, because all of this can be carried out by computers which only understand population. However, those are still unlikely to arrive at a single solution, so people could come in to choose which of the possible computer solutions made the best sense culturally - or just flip a coin.
Regardless, my point is that gerrymandering isn't actually helping anyone apart from a few politicians. It does nothing for voters.

24. Your analogy doesn't make sense
And it's going great for me here in my State of Illinois.
Because our side was able to gerrymander here we got rid of several congressional repukes and got large enough majorities in the legislature that we'll probably be able to finally pass gay marraige soon.
"Fair" (who is to say what is fair?) maps would meant Bob Dold and Bobby Schilling would have reelected and we would have lost a Democratic district to reapportment rather than a repuke one (arch conservative Manzullo) because it was Chicago that didn't keep pace with population growth.

We'll have to see what Governor Ultrasound does with the gerrymandering power grab. He could veto it.
And yes, I agree, gerrymandering by either side is a problem, however this time, it's about entrenching lunacy (the RWNJ) more than policy (at least IMHO).
I tend to be wary of states that elect looneys-one reason I won't go to AZ no matter what. And it's too bad because I love VA, and Kentucky.

15. 2 Vacation destinations that all 6 of us were going to do this year were Williamsburg, VA
and visit Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. But I have pulled those off the table. The reasons: Gov't Ultrasound of VA, his laws, and the passing of the law on Dec 28th 2012; In SD they now only have 1 abortion clinic due to their laws. I always find it funny when the R party is concerned about debt, deficits, and government getting too involved in people's lives, but then when they are in power they rack up the debt by continued spending and now, at the state level, they get involved in people's lives.
I will not, at this time, give these 2 states my business. They do not need to go democrat for me to visit them but don't go right wing nutty. I will find other sites and states to visit instead.
Boycotts can work though. Imagine if the attendance at Williamsburg or Mount Rushmore went down 30 -50% in one year. Do you think the Rs in those states might get it??

18. There are sane people in both states
I spent 6 months in VA last year (and a very red part of it) working on a campaign last year and I have never felt so welcome when I went on the road as I did there.
Do I think the GOP gerrymandering is nuts? Yes. But even in a blue state with the legislature out of redistricting, the GOP can gerrymander the state (see NJ Congressional districts).
If you really want to make a difference, work to get Democrats elected at the local level in these red areas and slowly turn them blue.

19. if you read my post the GOP gerrymandering is nuts but that is not the reason for my boycott.
It's funny how the NRA and others think that an assault weapons ban, ban on clips, background checks, etc.
are somehow taking away 2nd amendment rights even though it is not -- they can still have their guns, rifles, clips but when it comes to abortion (legal) the R governors of those 2 states think it best to take clinics away or putting more state government or regulations on abortion clinics or pregnant mothers. Those governor's decisions are why I am not visiting these 2 states this year. It has nothing to do with gerrymandering (that is something no party should be in charge of).

The Responsibly Strong Weekend Nightcap
Sometimes a nightcap should consist of more than a third of a glass of something dark. Sometimes it should be a drink. A real drink. A drink that may take a little more work than a stiff pour, but the required efforts of which will become the prelude to a deep, much-deserved sleep. Halloween may be over, but Thanksgiving is soon to come — it's time to rest up. So we asked our friend (and London Academy of Bartenders-trained mixologist) Jamie Gordon for the best cocktail recipe with which to turn off the lights. Here's what he gave us.
What Jamie says:
"The Twentieth Century is actually a gin cocktail, but gin is essentially infused vodka. The original recipe is gin with Lillet Blanc, lemon juice, and crème de cocoa. We cut out the middleman with the cocoa and spirit, kept the Lillet Blanc, but made it a little lighter by using lemon bitters instead of lemon juice and a honey-vanilla bean syrup. And then we beefed it up with a pinch of salt. It's really rich, and really dry.
"Cocoa nib is actually a bitter chocolate, so it's still a man's drink. It's got a strong taste of chocolate, but it's in no way sweet. It's a pretty solid nightcap. Honestly, I would say have one. If you want another, then that's your call. But it's 100-proof vodka, so it is a strong drink. And, you know, of course, we must encourage responsibility."
The Twentieth Century Foxy:
• 3 parts cocoa nib-infused Absolut 100 Vodka
• 1 part Lillet Blanc
• 1/2 part honey-vanilla syrup
• 2 dashes lemon bitters (we used Bitter Truth)
• Pinch of salt
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker, and shake with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe glass, and zest a lemon peel over the glass. Discard the peel and serve.

Understanding the Multidimensionality of Group Development
Chang, Artemis, Duck, Julie, & Bordia, Prashant (2006) Understanding the Multidimensionality of Group Development. Small Group Research, 37(4), pp. 327-350.
|PDF (76kB)
This article presents a three-dimensional definition space of the group development literature that differentiates group development models on three dimensions: content, population, and path dependency. The multidimensional conceptualization structures and integrates the vast group development literature, enabling direct comparison of competing theories. The utility of this definition space is demonstrated by using the relative positioning of two seemingly competing group development models—the punctuated equilibrium model and the integrative model—to demonstrate their complementarity. The authors also show how organizational researchers and practitioners can use the three-dimensional definition space to select an appropriate theoretical model for the group or group process with which they are working.

July 20-Member Area Update: Back in February '08, Luv Pink returned to the studio to help dial in the new lighting. She was a big help, and the lighting worked great. Here's more nice work from that shoot with Luv, her hair au natural, enjoying a Marlboro Red. Fantastic Open Mouth Inhales, and the exhales (both mouth and nostril), accentuated by the new lighting, look ultra thick!
July 13-Member Area Update: Looking a bit like Diana Ross from the film "Lady Sings The Blues", CoCo returns, enjoying an All White Marlboro 100 Light. She talks a lot about smoking, and smokes excellently, with super long drags. Those long drags followed by thick Open Mouth Inhales as well as voluminous exhales. 215MB+ this week!

The first with a blue Nat Sherman, with the wig full and fantastically prepared by Harmony. The second scene she smokes an all white in a holder, with colorful make-up. The final clip features the last of the excellent cigar footage we started with in an earlier update. Open Mouth Inhale fans are in for a treat with this update!
June 22-Member Area Update: Faylene: Capri. Very popular with viewers when she was introduced in early June, here's a dark-haired version of the same beauty, this time enjoying a Capri 120 Super Slim! We normally have to ask our models to take longer than their normal drags. Not Faylene! Without any suggestions from us, she drags at least 3 seconds on every drag, and most are longer! Producing great Open Mouth Inhales and cloud-thick exhales. We feature both Right-At-You clips as well as profiles in this update. Lots of on-topic dialog too. Plus, in the profile shots, she's lapel mike'd so you can hear that wonderful voice and the inhale and exhale sounds up close and personal. A huge update at 235MB!
June 15-Member Area Update: Back on April 13 we introduced CoCo. That update was shot Right-At-You. We also have the Profile version of that update, and here it is!

In this update, she smokes Newport Box Full Flavors, and each drag is AT LEAST 3 seconds! As a matter of fact, most are longer! Super thick exhales, some tricks like smoke rings, Open Mouth Inhales, and French inhales. But what makes this update really stand out is her fantastic smokers voice! We lapel mike'd her in the profile clips, and her voice is nice n deep as she describes her smoking experiences!
May 25-Member Area Update: Lana has been getting a lot of fan mail recently, and we've had requests for a still photo set. Both are answered with this update. 3 different looks form Lana in these pix: Au Natural, Platinum Blonde, and Jet Black Bob hairstyles. The smoking is nice too, with Corks, all Whites, and Cigars. Lana performs Open Mouth Inhales, French Inhales, Clouds (her term for Snaps), Rings, and Nose Exhales!
May 18-Member Area Update: Ducati, Virginia Slims 120 FILTERLESS with a holder! We asked Ducati to smoke the VS120 in the holder, and removed the filter! We wanted to be true to what a holder was made for way back when. When there were no filters, the holder was used to keep the bits of tobacco from the lady's mouth. The serendipity here is yes, the tobacco stays out of Ducati's mouth AND the smoke is incredibly thick! Great Right-At-You OMI's, and super thick exhales, shot profile. Oh, and Ducati looks stunning as she smokes, reclining in the Lazy Boy, dressed in a plunging neckline top! Approximately 15 minutes of great smoking!
May 11-Member Area Update: Karina has been popular in emails this week, so have cigars. Both are featured in this update as she enjoys a Medium sized Swisher, Peach flavored.

May 4-Member Area Update: Our first African American model, CoCo, has kept the Inbox humming! Here she is looking Pamela Anderson-ish (or Halle Berry-like from X-Men) in the famous Visualsmoke big blonde wig. Styled nicely by CoCo, she looks like a celebrity in her sunglasses, all the while enjoying a Saratoga Full Flavor Cork Filter 120! Very nice Open Mouth Inhales (following nice long drags!) and resulting thick exhales (which she holds in for a moment before exhaling) . Audio fans will like this update because in the profile clips the lapel mike she's wearing picks up great inhale and exhale sounds, as well as nice on-topic dialog. 185+MB this week!
April 27-Member Area Update: Lots of good feedback on the new Scarlet-Haired DeeDee. This time she's dressed in another strapless number, this time a BLACK LEATHER stunner! With matching elbow length black gloves! A two foot gold holder completes the look of elegance! 175+MB in this update!
April 20-Member Area Update: Last chance to see Sophie in this update. We've had requests for More action.

As a bonus, nice on topic dialog, a hands free Power Smoke series of drags, and Coughing! Shot mostly in profile, with a goofy blonde wig and a black bob one too. A big update at 189MB!
April 13-Member Area Update: For years we've wanted to shoot an African American model, and have lots of requests for one too . Imagine our excitement when CoCo visited the studio! In these excellent clips, she tells all about her smoking, and performs wonderfully, with nice Open Mouth Inhales, thick exhales, and lots of on topic dialog. This is an all Right-At-You update, with the profile clips to follow soon. 180MB in this update!
April 06-Member Area Update: More requests came in last week, several for more 'Rocks' material. We thought we'd used it all, but found some VERY nice stuff, featuring Sophie!

The exhales that follow are voluminous as well! 175+MB in this update!
March 30-Member Area Update: A Cody re-shoot has topped the request list for quite a while. We were happy to fulfill that request early in 2008. The second highest number of requests were for Cody to smoke a large cigar at that re-shoot. Here's that request answered this week! 185+MB of Cody enjoying her cigar!
March 23-Member Area Update: While the requests we get are varied, there's one common theme: Lots of smoke! When Luv Pink returned to the studio in early '08, we asked her to be prepared. Prepared to smoke HEAVY! She didn't disappoint! Smoking a Marlboro Red and then a Medium, she takes multiple drags, long single drags, and Power Smokes! Our camera angles get the look from profile and Right-At-You! Nice Open Mouth Inhales and thick exhales! A sizeable update this week with 205MB of great clips!
March 16-Member Area Update: A request from a member in France is answered is week with the lovely Brooke. Her hair is pulled back and up, into a bun of sorts. Tails of hair are dropped on the sides of her face, framing it nicely! Contemporarily styled glasses complete the look. Also nice is her smoking techniques with the requested Virginia Slims 120. The all white cigarette looks lovely in her pink painted lips as she shows her polished skills. Both Right-At-You and Profile clips are featured, Including Open Mouth Inhales, with mouth and nose exhales. We're always glad to fulfill your requests when we can!
March 9-Member Area Update: DeeDee called and said she had a surprise. And what a surprise it was! A change from her white blonde hair to vivid Red! The only red-heads we've done to date were red wigs, so it was a no brainier to invite her back! Here she is in a stunning evening gown, complete with blue elbow length gloves. Her cigarette? Newport 100's full flavors! She looks beautiful, and her smoking is great too! 171MB of excellent footage!
March 2-Member Area Update: Since we started Visualsmoke back in 2000, our first model, Cody, has been the most requested for a re-shoot. Finally, 3 weeks ago, we got her on tape again. She smokes a Newport 100 in this update, clad in a low-cut black leather top and leather jacket. In the profile shots, that camera is lapel mike'd, so you can hear her gravely voice and listen to the leather crackle! Your chance to have a look and let us know if you like Cody 2008.
February 24-Member Area Update: Vintage Harmony. Thanks to email requests, we looked through our first Harmony shoot and found a nice amount of unseen footage. A very nice smoking interview, all the while with Harmony enjoying her favorite brand, Marlboro Reds! Also lapel mike'd, very nice smoking sounds. Very nice visuals too as she takes nice long drags, followed by excellent Open Mouth Inhales and good exhales as well. 180+ MB of video in this update!
February 17-Member Area Update: We call this set Lana: B&B. Not Bed and Breakfast, Black and Blonde. The set starts with nice work with a cut filter Green Nat Sherman, and finishes up with Lana in the black bob wig (with cranberry lipstick!), smoking an all white.

February 10-Member Area Update: Mores! Lot's of interest in them lately! Happy to have a nice set from Havoc. Next to Nikki, probably one of the most talented smokers we've got.

Pioneiros de Cabo Verde
Determined to preserve and promote our history, memory and good principles, the group invites the membership of those who took part and recognize the contribution of the organization of Pioneiros Abel Djassi- Cape Verde (OPAD-CV) in the integration and development of the Cape Verdean society.
The benefits of an organization such as Pioneiros are priceless. Teaching our children and youth about values, culture, civism, patriotism, and teaching them about their world is one of the best ways they can learn about themselves and develop interests, leading to future careers. Healthy, well-trained children and youth is the most valuable asset a country can have; Cape Verde desperately needs this at this time.
We hope you will see the importance and need for the making of this film and the impact it will have on the lives of so many Caboverdeanos. Your valuable contribution will also assist in the completion of the documentary.
