What's being said
I am appauled, by these "marketing" dealings.
It is nothing more that the munipulation of issues(which is truly an insult to my intelligence)!
When I hear such mumgo-jumbo, I simply say, "is that right"(and then silently say to myself, this fool thinks everyone is sleep or should be sleep on what he/she is saying or trying munipulate other with).
Where worldly people call it game, I call it FLAME, for the way I see it(that is a person who thinks highly of themselves and others), GAME, doesn't have to be munipulated. It comes without playing games.
In otherwords, when you naturally are good at what you do, there is absolutely NO reason to get greedy for when that happens, you become corrupt, lose family, jobs and friends and in most cases, you go even further and wound up messed up on drugs(trying to be like the Jones or trying to be slick OR got away with something and has fooled yourself into believing you can do it forever.
What a fool(is the bottom line to the story) and besides, a person should get better PRIDE in knowing that they did something good and it helped someone in your doingings.
Tha't what brings you more business!
That;s GAME!

Is The Foundry coming back to life?
Workers from King Enterprises of Belle Vernon started demolishing the six former in-line stores standing on the property of the abandoned shopping complex in South Strabane Township Thursday. The buildings were damaged by ground subsidence in 2008.
The property has been unoccupied since then, except for two restaurants, Max & Erma's and Olive Garden, that are on outparcels near the front and haven't been affected by subsidence.
South Strabane manager John Stickle confirmed the municipality issued a demolition permit, but he did not know any other details regarding the property. He said THF Realty, headquartered in St. Louis, owns the property, but was unaware of its plans.
Two telephone calls to the THF office in Charleston, W.Va., were not returned.
Stickle is cautiously optimistic that plans are being formulated for new development at The Foundry.
"My hope is that once the existing buildings are removed, someone comes up with a site plan for new buildings," he said. "The fact that they're beginning demolition is a good sign, and hopefully The Foundry comes back."
When it announced The Foundry project in 2005, Indianapolis-based Premier Properties USA said it would build a 575,000-square-foot shopping center that would attract many retailers, including a variety of chains that weren't already doing business in the Washington area.
By December 2007, Premier had signed leases for about 20 retailers, but only J.C. Penney, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ross Dress-for-Less and Max & Erma's restaurant were operating.
By June 2008, Premier Properties had filed for bankruptcy, and the three stores in the in-line portion of The Foundry had closed after subsidence behind a massive retaining wall caused cracks in the floor and walls of the stores.
J.C. Penney later relocated to its previous store at Washington Mall, where it continues to operate today.
By the end of June 2008, Premier Properties founder and Chief Executive Officer Christopher White was charged with theft and fraud in Indiana.
Of the original stores to open at the Foundry, only Max & Erma's remained open. It was joined in December by the Olive Garden restaurant, which opened on an adjacent lot.
Following White's conviction, the 104-acre Foundry property was posted for sheriff's sale twice, but each time the sale was postponed.
Despite the subsidence problems, the lower lots of the development along Route 19 continued to be marketed as viable retail sites. Since the latter half of 2008, THF Realty and Pittsburgh-based Mosites Development have been responsible for trying to bring retailers to the site. No one was available Friday afternoon at Mosites Development to comment.

This image was made from one of several boxes of negatives in the Observer-Reporter archives that came from the newspaper's former Canonsburg office. Although it is likely that this picture was published at some time, we don't know exactly when. The box was labeled "1970-71," and that's all we know.
We are hoping our readers might be able to identify these young women and why they posed for this photo. How many of our readers remember when these mini dresses were all the rage?
If you recognize any of these faces and can help us learn what they were doing and where they are now, email Park Burroughs, retired executive editor, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or call and leave a message for him along with your telephone number at 724-222-2200, extension 2400.
With a little help, we'll be able to solve this mystery and publish our findings next Monday.

Resuming from my last post - a key thing I am going to discuss is - how are these software systems, social enablers for any business [inside and outside] and for the ecosystem [landscape, environment] they exist in. A Social Business is one that embraces and cultivates a spirit of collaboration and community throughout its organization — both internally and externally.
IBM has identified three distinct characteristics of a Social Business:
- A Social Business is engaged—deeply connecting people, including customers, employees, and partners, to be involved in productive, efficient ways.
- A Social Business is transparent—removing boundaries to information, experts and assets, helping people align every action to drive business results.
- A Social Business is nimble—speeding up business with information and insight to anticipate
Essentially we have following elements to look at, to evaluate how social aspect of the business / organization can lead to innovation or improvements:
- Engaging Experience : Whether its intranet for the employees or extra-net for customers and business partners - every segment wants to have engaging experience in the form of 'Collaborating NOW' element i.e employees need online communities to drive the business objectives or goals, Partners needs them for interacting with vendors and other stakeholders in the business ... every small step towards a business decision is recorded or should be available in the form of activity streams. Ability to reproduce any business event in the form of A/V assets and share it for the the benefit of larger audience through social media such that feedback on the event , its content drives the improvement and perhaps innovation. Add to all this a mailing capability which is not a silo but aware of all such happenings and with minimal action, data flows from each of these capabilities bidirectionally - e.g a mail could become a activity for tracking purposes, a file from social media can flow into email as attachment or identities are managed via social directory inside the mail as business card. Typically in an enterprise 2.0 environment we would want solutions packaged on the common platform ... HRMS, Payroll etc for the intranet scenario OR Retail or banking solutions OOTB for the extranet / internet scenario, which provides a integrated and engaging experience as opposed to static web systems handling each one separately. Culture of collaborating 'NOW' is key ingredient for fostering innovation and unifies culturally or demographically diverse business [employee and customer base]. IBM is a very good example.
- Discover OR Expertise locator, knowledge management, collaboration - These set of capabilities or abilities help in terms of having informal processes for learning and falling back on these resources as a knowledge asset down the line - something we term as : Social Learning processes. Wikis are a good example of such a capability. Forums for dedicated discussion on key business or common interest areas within a community, Blogs : help in knowledge dissemination by SMEs and over a period of time these resources are tagged, responed, recommended and eventually some of them get established as a best practice or a innovated process for a business problem. Recommendations work well in terms of getting the most popular, most visited, best rated or something like 'adjudged top submission'. All of this data is transparently available and no parallel systems are needed to churn these sought after assets. Another aspect of discovery in a social business would be 'crowd sourcing applications' - i.e we have the capability of hosting apps that help to do a mundane task faster or efficiently - examples would be Gadgets or widgets developed and deployed by the end users. Mashups are a very good example of such a capability. In one way these kind of capabilities help in grooming or training the next level of employees, busines partner or even vendors - which indirectly leads to lesser expenses on the business orientation or awraeness related trainings.
- Optimize for faster insights : With explosion of data, information and various forms of assets .... How do we make sense out of it and yet be able to harness that knowledge - Analytics is one encompassing realm, which we can use in different ways to leverage the social benefits for a business. Running analytics on the social media to provide insight about assets shared and used help in promoting the right content. Real time monitoring or moderation allow us to manage the risks of wider availability and impact of these capabilities inside and outside the business. Workforce dashboards or analytics provide on the fly insight about a business unit, team or a community. One of the obvious benefit is the awareness about the diversity of each segment and yet be able to address each one of them effectively.
Finally -:
- Delivery channels OR Reach : - End users are better aligned and relate well with software systems which provide consistent user experience. whether you blog or do a chatting - if experience is similar irrespective of the channels (like desktop app to Rich Internet applications to mobile), It leads to greater productivity and throughput from the software systems as well as its users. A employee can easily switch the context from browser to a smart gadget and yet be able to take a business chat or contribute on discussion forum or ideation process while on the move. Business is not limited to fixed cycles of productivity, instead is dependent on the comfort level available to the users of these systems. These capabilities also lead to reduced capital and operational expenses by eliminating (or delay) the recurring needs of upgrading Systems [H/w, S/w]. Wide availability of these capabilities and the user experience are also important building blocks of a social business
To summarize the capabilities and the known/demonstrated benefits of these software systems to help a business become Social :
Looking at the stack I have mentioned in previous blog posts - A confluence of Online interaction through chat and conferencing capability, IBM Connections capabilities, OOTB applications like banking and retail systems, eForms for workflow scenarios, Integrated analytics framework, Enterprise/integrated search capability, in built support for smart devices and finally the most important part - Aggregation system to host all of this as one system and realm - IBM Websphere Portal.

I thought they had Fisto trademarked.
Folks have been asking for a fresh/updated thread, as the other one is getting long, so I took it upon myself to compile this list.
This isn't going to include characters that have already been announced or used, such as Swift Wind, Faceless One, Lieutenant Spector etc. Exceptions would be someone like Ceratus; a character name that has already been used in a bio, but still has the potential of getting a figure at some later point.
Notable means something along the lines of Arachna Spider-Warriors, to where the name/phrase has been used in a bio a long time ago, but is only recently appearing the trademarks database.
Let me know if I missed anything.

I will cry out of joy if it's for something in the line.
formerly known as 'the parasite eve'
"Have killed many, Shepard. Many methods. Gunfire, knives, drugs, tech attacks, once with farming equipment. But not with medicine.
And weren't Mekaneck & Man-E-Faces, along with Clawful also copyrighted? I don't think that most recent thread was the most complete listing. I think there were previous threads that had other names. Dekker was also copyrighted earlier when his name appeared on MAA's bio.

Fisto, huh?
So I guess there isn't much of a problem with the whole Fisto =/= Kit Fisto trademark anymore, huh. ('Cause I remember that being purported as a theory waaaaaaaaaaay back in the day and all)
formerly known as 'the parasite eve'
"Have killed many, Shepard. Many methods. Gunfire, knives, drugs, tech attacks, once with farming equipment. But not with medicine.
As for characters like Clawful and Man-E-Faces, there's some popular ones like them to where their trademarks have been active for years / never seem to go dead. They do fall under the "unused" category, but I'm not sure if most of you are just interested in seeing the ones that have ultra recent renewals. Do you guys want them included?
Thanks Mangs.

But Mekanek's trademark (with 2 k's) is live ! See http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield...09:4ogcts.45.1Mekaneck's trademark is dead.
I can't wait to see the Horsemen do Horde Troopers. My Fisto must have smashed my Horde Trooper apart a thousand times back in the 80's.
I left my wallet in El Segundo...
Just to clarify - and I know I'm not always the greatest at catching every detail in every post - the first post in this thread isn't going to be including characters that have already been announced as getting an upcoming figure (i.e. Swift Wind, Faceless One, etc.)
Good news for you, Mike : Optikk aside (2010), Slush Head is the ONLY other NA figure that was trademarked so far. So logically and hopefully, I guess he's a NA figure that should be released in 2011...Oh Slush Head when will I see Slush Head?

I should also point out that I'm not going to be including trademarked locations, UNLESS they haven't been used in a bio. For example, Sub-Ternia won't show up because we've already seen it in Whiplash's bio and chances are we won't be getting some sort of Sub-Ternia playset.
The point of this thread is to see who/what we have left and who/what is potentially possible...that also has an active trademark.
Way to go Tallstar. The other thread was getting crazy
I like that this can be updated as new trademarks are filed and figures are revealed
Very informative, thank you Tallstar!
Your support means more research for the Myostatin-challenged.
Horde Troopers, Tung Lashor? That are great news!
Holy crumbs, Modulok and Tung Lashor?
Of course, I'm not getting too excited, Modulok could be on Multi-Bot's bio or Tung could be on Rattlor's... but at least it's something.
Vintage New Adventures deserves to be finished!
MOTUC Top Ten Super 7 wants: KAYO, Hoove, Drissi, Crystoll, Chef Allen, any Catra variant, Nocturna, Red Knight, Clawdeen (flocked), Spinwit
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon, Skystalker
My thoughts:
Clamp Champ:
I thought he was going to be in the 2011 Subscription, but I bet he was TM'd for the PALACE GUARDS 2-pack
Too unique not to be a 2011 figure (very excited for this one!)
Horde Troopers
I hope these come out in 2011, and not the Arachna warriors... (weird). Though, they could be TM'd for a Hordak variant, or for Catra's bio (she IS a Force Captain), or the Etheria map.
Tung Lashor :
Probably TM'd for Rattlor's or King Hsss's bio...
RUMOR: Rattlor was going to be the first snakeman revealed (Jan 2011)... I think that if the female buck IS being reinvented, that they needed an A-List boss (Catra for POP was rumored to be Feb, but Vikor, a He-man variant type figure, is Feb instead), so they removed Rattlor, and debuted King Hssss instead, killing two birds with one stone (boss and Snake Man intro). I also think Rattlor will be mentioned in King Hsss's bio.
Modulok & Multibot
I doubt that they would both come out in the same year. If Multibot is planned (more likely since he was TM'd a while ago), then Modulok will be mentioned in the bio, because Modulok MADE Multibot
Snout Spout
A likely 2011 figure... he's not really appropriate for mention in anyone else's bio
Sweet Bee
Also a likely 2011 figure... they have to bite the bullet and give us a girly POP character... unless she's mentioned in Buzz-Off's bio (PLEASE no), then she's likely for 2011
you ALL know my thoughts on her... she was supposed to be shown at SDCC (just as Roboto was to be shown at NYCC, but was delayed... the delay was confirmed by TG sort of -- "we had a lot of problems with this one."). Let mattel deny it (not that they have)...
Queen Marlena
She's GOT to be 2011... she better not be the SDCC exclusive... but she might be... Green Filmation version and White MYP version... because they probably wouldn't be able to sell enough of the variant later on
Likely for 2011... Other than MAA, or MAYBE Jitsu, whose bio would he be in?
Sy-Klone & Mekaneck
I've heard rumors about Sy-Klone coming, but not in the way you'd expect... but that rumor was debunked, at least for now, since we didn't see him at SDCC... the timing for both of these TM's is weird... right at the kick-off of the MOTUC line? Neither of them have appeared in any bios... which leads me to wonder if TG's claim that they only planned this line for 6 figures at first was real?
probably 2011 Quarterly Variant
Trademarked for Re-Release Skeletor's revised bio
Arachna Spider Warriors
This sounds a lot like the Eternia Palace Guards title... I wonder if we will get them as a two-pack... I mean, otherwise, why bother TM'ing them as a title... it's not like they would need to for a bio... they are just words.
confirmed for 2011
TM'd for Tytus's bio... they will delay him as long as they can
Probably TM'd for Buzz-Off's bio
I thought he was going to be a 2011 figure, but he will probably just be mentioned in Preternia He-man's bio
A Want List: Starburst She-Ra, Ghost, Mini Comic Tri-Klops, Mini-Comic/Vintage Toy costume Catra, Kayo, Joya, Storm, Twiggets, Melaktha, Sagitar, Spirit, Kothos, Master Sebrian, The Enchantress, Weapons Paks, Fuerza T figures, 200X Sorceress, King Miro, Dree-Elle & Uncle Montork.

Thanks for the update guys. Of those that have been TM'd, i believe we still have many great figures to be released. A few mentioned such as Rattlor, Modulok, Catra, Fisto (and believe it or not) Snout Spout leave me feeling optimistic for 2011.

Enjoy a "hyggelig" holiday in the Danish dunes
Denmark | "Hyggelig" is Danish and can best be translated with the English word "cosy" but it can mean much more. Something "hyggelig" is pleasant and good. This can also apply to nice people or the picturesque Danish landscape. Or to the Danish holiday houses of course.
The choice on atraveo with around 25,000 objects is almost unlimited. Denmark is quite rightly known to be the land of the holiday homes. Most properties are located in the dunes or right at the beach and the most have more top class facilities at reasonable prices. Quite often you will find sauna, whirlpool or even a heated swimming pool in your property so that the whole family can enjoy the holiday in summer as well as in winter: The kids splash in the pool whilst the parents can relax in the sauna and the whirlpool. This way also rainy days will not spoil your holiday mood. In the evenings a crackling fire in the fire place provides a comfy atmosphere and romantic hours for two or the whole family.
Also larger parties will find Denmark "hyggelig" as the houses are not only well-equipped but there is also an extensive offer of large holiday homes which offer space for 10, 12 or even 20 persons. Very often such houses have luxuriously fittings. If travelling with a large party such houses can be rented for a relatively good price as far as costs are shared between the fellow travellers.
Look for your perfect holiday domicile in Denmark! You will surely find it. In order to make the search easier for you we recommend: atraveo customers especially enjoy the Danish west coast with the islands Rømø and Fanø as well as the large Baltic Sea islands Funen and Zealand where the capital Copenhagen is situated as well as the island Bornholm which is located far off in the sea. We also recommend the other small and large Danish South Sea Islands, e.g. Lolland, Falster and Møn.

Give your hearth the clean finish it deserves with the 42" Engineered B-Vent Masonry Fireplace System. This fireplace combines a masonry fireplace with a b-vent system that is designed for burning gas logs. The interlocking modular concrete pieces join together to create a masonry firebox that is stronger, lighter, and 50% cheaper than a customary stonework installation.
- Angled fireplace backing provides better heat reflection
- Withstands more than 3,000 PSI
- 100 year life expectancy
- UL Standard 127 compliant
- Approved for installation on combustible wood flooring
Please Note: This fireplace requires a chimney - you can choose from a block chimney (see below) or a metal chimney found in our DuraChimney category.
This kit brings the stonework tradition to new heights of durability, now able to withstand more than 3,000 lbs. per square inch. From foundation to framing, this unit has been designed for efficiency with an angled backing for better heat reflection. In addition, an easy one-piece masonry flue system keeps construction easy—simply stack one block on top of another, then mortar them together. The entire firebox can be completed in a matter of hours, as opposed to a 2-3 week project that will incur hefty installation costs. Several reports have been issued to prove the durability of this unit, including an ICC-ES Report and a Los Angeles Research Report. Finally, by adhering to Underwriters Laboratories Standard 127 and backing up the product with a 20 year warranty, we go the extra mile to guarantee your fireplace for a 100 year life expectancy.
10 bags of FireRock Mortar are needed for proper installation. For every six blocks of chimney, an extra bag of mortar is required. Up to 60' of chimney can be supported with this fireplace kit.

CANONSBURG – Kayla Huffman didn't let anything, not even mono or the flu, keep her from practicing this season.
The Trinity junior's hard work and dedication paid off Thursday at the WPIAL Rifle Individual Championships.
Huffman shot a 200-19x and advanced past McGuffey's Courtney Stiles via tiebreaker to take second place at the Dormont/Mt. Lebanon Sportsmen's Club.
Though she didn't win – that honor went to Hempfield's Abbie Bache – the outcome was infinitely more exciting than the first two months of the season, when Huffman battled through mononucleosis and a lengthy bout with the flu.
The stretch was so severe that it forced Huffman into a compressed school schedule that included mostly half-days, only essential classes after lunch.
But it didn't take her away from practice.
"Pale as a ghost, she'd curl up in a blanket, lay down and shoot 100," Trinity statistician Katie Krocsko said. "Then she'd curl up and go back to sleep."
Huffman didn't dispute how Krocsko described it.
It was practice, she figured. No way could she miss that.
"I made it a priority to be there," Huffman said. "As dead as I was, I made sure I got down there and shot."
Huffman's score represented a swift turnaround for Trinity from its performance during Tuesday's Team Championships, when the Hillers finished a disappointing fifth.
"Especially after we didn't do so well in the team match, it's a little bit rewarding that the individuals did well," Trinity coach John Husk said. "The team score wasn't as high as we expected it to be."
Huffman, along with everyone who finished in the top 14, advanced to next week's Pennsylvania State Scholastic Championships at Frazier-Simplex.
The top four teams – Hempfield, Woodland Hills, McGuffey and Avella – also made it.
Bache won the title after nabbing eight center shots, five on her second target alone.
The score comes two days after Bache was the only one Tuesday to shoot a perfect score: 100-10x.
"I knew my score. Then when they got to 200-19x, I was listening for center shots because I knew I had eight," Bache said. "When they said 'second place, five,' I was hiding behind Alex (Thomas) because I thought I was going to cry."
Bache was still shaking afterward – probably better than shaking during her relay.
"Props to her," Huffman said of Bache. "If you can do that with all this pressure, you have a good shot. That's crazy."
Stiles was third with two center shots on her second target to Huffman's three.
Plum's Melissa Leclair was fourth, followed by Hempfield's Keegan Miller and McGuffey's Casadi Stainbrook.
Tyler James Miller (seventh) and Casey Doyle (15th) gave Trinity three shooters among the top 15.
None with a better turnaround than Huffman, who missed her entire sophomore season with a concussion.
"She shot a good score when she needed it," Husk said of Huffman. "She's been sick most of the year. She was struggling at the beginning of the year; she had a sore throat, mono, high fever. She missed a lot of school. But she's 100 percent now."

Single & Double Hung Window
We've updated this classic window design and turned it into an efficient, high performance product. Our single hung version features a fixed top sash and an easy-tilt bottom. On the double hung, both sash tilt in for easy cleaning.
Our aluminum clad wood single and double hung windows have a maintenance-free heavy duty extruded clad exterior and a beautiful wood interior protected to the core against wood rot by our patented CoreGuard. Our concealed wood jambliner is a big upgrade over other manufacturer's vinyl version.
Super Sun Blocker
With an amazing triple layer of silver Super Sun Blocker glazing delivers an ideal balance of thermal performance, solar control, 95% UV protection and high visibility.
Fade Protection: Best
Insulation Value: Better
Solar Heat Gain Control: Best
Low-E 366
Cardinal's Low-E 366 is nearly identical to Super Sun Blocker in technology and performance. However, Super Sun Blocker is significantly more affordable.
Our Low-E 366 is available in 3 versions: standard; Low-E 366 with Preserve® protective film (it peels off after installation so all the splattered paint and construction dirt peel off too); and Low-E 366 with Preserve and Neat® (an ultra-smooth exterior coating that harnesses UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away almost spotlessly).
Super Sun Blocker With IS-15 Coating
To meet the 2013 Energy Star® standards, we start with all the attributes of triple silver Super Sun Blocker, then add ClimaGuard IS-15. IS-15 is a coating specifically designed to help you achieve a superior R-5 insulation value on many windows without the need for triple glazing.
The IS-15 coating is applied to the interior (room-side) surface of the dual pane IG unit, resulting in improved thermal performance and lower heating costs. Because the coating reflects heat back into the room, the room-side pane of glass will be slightly colder in winter, causing a higher potential for condensation problems.
Fade Protection: Best
Insulation Value: Best
Solar Heat Gain Control: Best
Passive Solar Low-E 80/70
Hurd's new Passive Solar Low-E 8070 glazing has a very high (0.69) solar heat gain coefficient. That means it's ideal for capturing the sun's heat in colder climates and reducing your winter heating bills. It also has a superior insulation value (R-3.8) to block out the cold and keep in the heat.
Fade Protection: Good
Insulation Value: Good
Solar Heat Gain Control: Very Best
Triple Pane Low-E
For the superior thermal performance of triple pane windows, specify our energy-efficient Triple Pane Low-E glazing. Choose one or two surfaces of low-E coating, for improved insulation values, reduced solar heat gain, and protection from harmful UV rays.
Fade Protection: Best
Insulation Value: Best
Solar Heat Gain Control: Better
Dual Pane Low-E
Insulated for improved energy efficiency. Single surface Low-E coating to reduce solar heat gain and block UV rays.
Fade Protection: Better
Insulation Value: Better
Solar Heat Gain Control: Better
Insulated Glass
For moderate climates, our Insulated Glass may deliver the performance you're looking for.
Fade Protection: Low
Insulation Value: Fair
Solar Heat Gain Control: Fair
Sound Control
Our Sound Control glazing reduces outside noise by as much as 50% while also blocking 99% of harmful UV rays. Since it's laminated, it also provides important shatter resistance to reduce the risk of injury from broken glass. It's available as a dual pane insulated IG or as a single pane non-insulated glass.
Fade Protection: Very Best
Noise Control: Very Best
Shatter Resistance: Very Best
Hurd Simulated Divided Lites
Our simulated divided lites give you the classic appeal of traditional true divided lites, but without the energy loss caused by individual glass panes. Matching extruded aluminum or all-wood outside, natural wood inside, and optional spacers between the glass.
Grilles in Airspace
This is the easiest way to achieve the divided lite look. We actually seal the grille between the panes of glass. So you get the visual appeal you want without the grille ever getting in your way.
Grilles in airspace come in your choice of profiles: 11/16" or 1" contour or 5/8" flat. Two-tone grilles also available.
The exterior of Sierra Pacific Windows are fully encased in maintenance-free, heavy-duty, extruded aluminum.
- Our cladding is at least twice as thick as competitors' roll-form cladding.
- 75 cladding colors, or we'll custom match any color you can imagine.
- Zero-VOC, AAMA 2604 powder paints, heat-cured for a harder, tougher finish.

I'll probably talk about the difference for me between style blogs and WNTW another day. For today, I want to introduce you to my friend Hannah, who I helped shop for this weekend!
Hannah is an old student whom I used to mentor years ago, when she was in college. Now at 24 years old, she has 2 jobs as an administrative assistant and is in nursing school. Talk about a full life!
Hannah's Old Style
Hannah wanted to change her style to feel more adult and put together. :) Black Vans, t-shirts, and black hooded sweatshirts became her uniform and that was no longer how she wanted to portray herself.
Sad face in her old clothes:
She saved money for the day she could buy a new wardrobe, which is no easy feat. She had given away 90% of her wardrobe before our day together, so we had nothing to work with but some skinny jeans--not even shoes! We truly started from scratch, and we shopped for 11 hours.
What We Aimed For
- "Everyday cute and dressy look" was her wish.
- Versatile wardrobe that took her from work to school to birthday parties on weekends. In her large Latino family there's always a birthday party!
- Balance out her figure. Hannah was concerned about her mid-section as well as feeling a little top-heavy, so we worked on that by playing with fit and proportion.
- Increased self-esteem. She'd been feeling self-conscious lately, so my biggest hope was to remedy that during our shopping day. I want women to feel great about themselves!
As for the rest of her pics below, please excuse her messy hair. It was super cute at the beginning of the day, but these pictures were taken after 11 hours of shopping! So just imagine hair cuteness, okay? :)
Her "Rules"
#1 Stop shopping in cheap junior's stores. Hannah was buying clothing with odd-sized labels, which indicates junior's sizing, and she had no idea. When I told her those clothes are better suited for girls with far less curves than she has, it made sense why so many of those clothes didn't fit her well. Instantly her self-esteem grew a little. Yay!
#2 Balance out your top half with a-line skirts or straight-legged jeans (shown in #3 below).
Hannah's looking slim in a blazer and jeans! (The jeans still need to be hemmed...)
#5 Play with pops of color in your accessories to liven up an outfit. These red shoes make this teal dress a little more special.
All in All
We got Hannah a wardrobe from which she could make 35+ outfits. It's a great foundation to start a new chapter in her life. I'll post a full shopping list on Thursday. Promise.
The Best Part...
I asked Hannah how her first day in her new clothes went, and she responded, "Good! I got many compliments at church today and a lot of looks from people at the grocery store. I wore the brown dress, belt and red flats. I finally feel like a young woman instead of a woman stuck in her teens. :)"
By the end of our shopping day she felt good about her body and couldn't wait to wear her new clothes. I'm so happy for her!
Again, on Thursday a full shopping list with links will be posted along with what we looked for and how we shopped. Stay tuned!
If you have questions before Thursday, feel free to ask and I'll try to include that in the post.

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews
- Attractive (4)
Best Uses
Reviewed by 8 customers
- Attractive
- Easy to assemble
- Plants Overheat
Best Uses
- Patio
- Small plants
I purchased 2 of these to attempt to finally grow strawberries close to the house. They arrived quickly and were fairly easy to assemble. They are very plain, but allow the colorful plants to shine. My most important suggestion is to use high-quality soil that retains water (perhaps add some water-retaining granules, etc.) The dirt is relatively shallow and tends to dry out very quickly. We constantly watered these. We will be replanting some of the plants and enhancing our soil this spring. They are easy to slide around on the patio if we need to move them. I did add a layer of weed mat on the bottom before filling with dirt, which did prevent the dirt from leaking out of the bottom fairly well. Overall, a neat planter that should work well for strawberries or other small plants, provided you take the extra step to add a weed mat on the bottom and fill them with some good quality soil, and water them regularly.
- Attractive
- Flimsy
Best Uses
I loved the idea of this and used it for herbs this summer. When I went to put it together this spring, however, I found the boards to be warped somewhat which did not allow for the pieces to interlock easily as they were supposed to. I almost gave up a number of times to send it back, but was determined to make it work because I love so much of Gardeners products. During assembly a couple of pieces of wood broke off, but they were not very noticeable and not necessary for holding the whole package together, so I just carried on. When I went to transplant the herbs from this planter into something I could bring indoors, I was worried because I heard the wood straining as I was trying to extract the plants (fighting against the well established root system). I was concerned about breaking the wood again. All in all, I like this product, and it sounds like some folks did not have the same issue I did, but wanted to put it out there that there are SOME concerns about this product.
- Easy assembly
- Generous size
- Nice looking
- Wood is thin
Best Uses
- Strawberries
I purchased this for my strawberries, which were shading each other out in a flat raised bed. I stained it before assembly to make the planter last longer. The plants are very happy, but one of the upper boards split in half along the grain before the planter was a month old. It still looks great, but I think that the wood for this planter should be a little bit thicker.
- Great for kids garden
- simple to assemble
- Unique Design
Best Uses
- Anyting that cascades
- Herbs edible flowers
I used this for herbs and edible flowers in a children's garden. They can reach easily to tend it themselves.
- Attractive
- Easy to assemble
- Spacious design
- Versatile
- Honestly do not have any
Best Uses
- We are using it for herbs
We needed a versatile design for holding our herb garden. In the past, pots did not hold up well as the planters got to hot and only allowed for a limited number of plants. With this design we are able to have all of the herbs we want as well as flowers on the lowest tier. Very nice product and I can't recommend it enough.
- 5 minutes to assemble
- Plenty of room for plants
- Saves space
- So easy to put together
Best Uses
- Used for my strawberries
I got this to put in my small greenhouse for my strawberries. I was able to put many plants in the pyramid. The design is awesome, space saving, easy to put together and works beautifulkly. Highly recommend. I would buy another one for other plants like herbs, flowers, etc. Highly recommend.
- Liked design
- Poor quality lumbar
Best Uses
- None
Arrived broken x 2 and had to be returned. Even if intact, I expect it would not last very long.
- Eye catching
- Unique
Best Uses
It was easy to put together - however the correction to the instructions about turning the letters to the outside - were located in the invoice - so I didn't find it until I was ready to send the whole thing back.

Bruce Bernstein has been executive director of the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) since December 2007, but has been associated with the Santa Fe Indian Market as a board member, judge and volunteer for 30 years. SWAIA holds its annual awards ceremony at Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino, June 4 (5:30-9 pm, $50; for tickets call 505-983-5220). This year's Indian Market is Aug. 22-23.
SFR: More people have heard of Indian Market than SWAIA. What is SWAIA's role?
BB: Our job here at SWAIA is to build the common platform under Indian Market, and I think the platform needs to continue to be sturdy; it needs to expand. Native arts, and the Native vision of the world, is constantly being revised, whether it's a new art form or media or the types of ways in which people use a traditional art form, like pottery.
What has changed about Indian Market since it was started in the '20s?
Market has always been about authenticity. I think at the beginning years of market, however, authenticity was a concept that the non-Native world placed on the Native people. Today, what authenticity means for market is that Native people can tell us who they are. Those boundaries and barriers, the preconceived notions, melt away.
How has the organization's attitude toward artists evolved?
In the '20s, at the beginning of market, there were paternalistic aspects to the way the markets were run. For example, the way the organization worked with artists was a sort of 'teacher-pupil' relationship, whereas now we're much more peer-to-peer. Now, there is no longer that paternal sense of, 'We're doing this for you.' That is something of the past that no one wants anymore.
This year's poster, which features jewelry by Taos artist Maria Samora, is only the fourth Indian Market poster with artwork made by a woman, and it's also a very contemporary style.
We realized, with Maria as the poster artist, that if she had submitted that work around the time she was born, she would not have been allowed in market. The poster is metaphoric in the sense that we, SWAIA, are always trailing behind the artists. We're always sprinting, trying to catch up. The poster represents that commitment to Native people telling us who they are…
What happens at the June 4 award ceremony?
The honoring reception is the one time of year where we really stop, slow things down and honor individuals, and talk about the deeper meanings of Native arts and culture. That evening, we have five fellowships to artists to improve their work any way they see the work needing improving, and we also provide two types of honoring awards, one to artists and one to people in support of the arts.
You describe Indian Market as 'local,' but thousands of tourists travel to town to attend the event.
About 45 percent of Indian Market artists live here in Santa Fe or in the Santa Fe region. It's not like some other events that come, and those vendors go away, back to where they're from. These monies stay here but, more importantly, these ideas stay here.
I think a lot of locals see Indian Market as the same every year.
Market has continually evolved for almost nine decades, and every year there are new things that go on. When Maria Martinez, in the first market, put out her black-on-black pottery, it was so innovative that it wasn't judged with the rest of the market. A black-on-black piece of pottery didn't receive an award until 1925, the third year of market. There's been a constant refreshment, and I think the only thing that's different now is our acknowledgement of that continual refreshment…
So, why should locals keep going to Indian Market?
I think maybe some people have a love-hate relationship with market. It is so big and so successful, people tend to dismiss it at times, but I think what they love about it is its immediacy…you're not in a building, you're not in some fenced-off area, you don't pay to get in. Market is like life itself in the sense that you can't go to market and understand and take it all in the first time. Every time you go, you learn something new, you see something different. I think that's one of its terrific powers.

Peters Township School Board authorizes $9 million bond
Peters Township School Board authorizes $9 million bond
The Peters Township School Board was into spending, or possibly spending, lots of money during a meeting March 18. PTA Area Council has requested a new high school citing overcrowding and security concerns, and there's the issue of replacing the stadium's aging artificial turf.
In an effort to save money and to add another $3 million to the general fund for building projects, the school board authorized a $9 million bond, $6 million of which was a refinance of a 2008 bond at a nearly 2.9 percent interest rate for 15 years. Recalling and reissuing the bond at a lower interest rate will save the district nearly $400,000.
The bond is on top of a $5 million bond issued last year to finance a $2.5 million project to rehabilitate the athletic fields above Pleasant Valley Elementary School. The remainder of that bond was to finance correction of a pyrite issue at McMurray Elementary School. No action has been taken on the pyrite problem, with a less expensive fix a possibility.
As for the remaining $3 million from the bond authorized March 18, the district has three years to use the money for capital projects. Currently, the district has the borrowing capability of an additional $30 million with the amount increasing as the already-issued bonds are paid down.
In other action, the board:
• Created six tutors, if needed, with the option of adding more for an after school tutoring program to assist students in preparing for the Keystone Examinations. The total cost is expected to be $1,600. Three teachers are for Algebra I, two teachers for biology and one teacher for literature. The exams cover only those three subjects.
• Amended the collective bargaining agreement between the district and the Peters Township Federation of Teachers to offer an early retirement incentive to change the required retirement age from 62 to 60 years of age, and to change the minimum years of service from 33 years to 30 years. Additionally, teachers planning on taking the early incentive must notify the district by May 1.
• Approved the Western Area Career and Technology Center annual budget of $6,233,351. The district's share is estimated at $140,307 for 16 students. The share is a decrease of $20,204 from the previous budget, due to fewer Peters Township students attending WACTC.
• Changed Caralee Rabe to lead custodian at the high school at $17.60 an hour, and hired Petrina DeNillo as a part-time secretary at the high school at $13.96 an hour.

Mt. Lebanon school to sign national anthem at Pirates game
St. Bernard students use hands in tribute to Lascheid at Pirates game
For years, Vince Lascheid's life revolved around his family, his church and the music he created on the organ to entertain crowds at Pittsburgh Pirates, Penguin and Steeler games.
To honor his memory, about 50 students from the late Lascheid's home church, St. Bernard Parish Roman Catholic Church School in Mt. Lebanon, will sign the national anthem on the field of PNC Park before the Pirates take on the San Diego Padres Sept. 18.
His daughter, Mindy Lascheid of Scott Township, helped organize the event that honors her father who died in 2009 at the age of 85. She will hold a photograph of her father as she stands on the field while the students, all dressed in black with white gloves, sign the words.
St. Bernard's School Principal Dan Wagner is thrilled the students will have the opportunity to perform on a major league baseball field. Wagner, along with about 300 family members and supporters, will attend the game, but he will not stand on the field with the students. They are in the spotlight, he says, not him.
The event is not just exposure for the school and a tribute for Lascheid, but it serves as a fund raiser for the school. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated to Shining Stars Foundation of Pittsburgh.
Preparations for the signing event began in the spring, thanks to Terri Sullivan, the school's music teacher for the past 13 years.
"This is exciting," Sullivan said. "Exciting for the kids especially because it gives them an opportunity to do something as a group outside of the school and to learn a language that is used in our everyday conversation."
She liked the idea of signing the national anthem because "it took away the focus of the voices and showed the poetry of the music."
Students signing at PNC Park attend St. Bernard's from fourth to eighth grade. Currently, Wagner said there are 323 students in programs pre-school through eighth grade.
Sullivan said signing at the game is another opportunity to be grateful.
"Thank you God for our ears," she said. "The students realize that I can do this, but I also can still hear."
Vince Lascheid was well known throughout Pittsburgh as the stadium organist, but he was a faithful member of St. Bernard's, having played the church organ for Masses and functions for more than three decades.
Mindy Lascheid said her father was self-taught on the organ and piano and, at one time, owned music stores in Bridgeville and Mt. Lebanon. Her mother, Linda Lascheid, will turn 85 in a few days, and was also active in the church community, being known for planting outdoor flowers and for singing in the church choir.
While Mindy Lascheid said she was surrounded by music growing up, she never learned to play the organ or piano from her father. She turned to sign language and that, she said, is the reason the event by the students from St. Bernard's Church School will bring a tear to her eye as she stands on the baseball field holding her father's photograph.

Residents of Southwestern Pennsylvania will soon be introduced to the 8-7-8 when officials roll a new area code into the region this year.
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission announced Friday that an implementation plan will be activated for the new 878 code because nearly all of the region's 724 and 412 numbers have been exhausted.
"Right now, there's about 790 numbers still available," said PUC deputy press secretary Denise McCraken. "It could take anywhere from a couple of weeks until the end of the year. It really comes down to how many people are in need of the new lines."
In July 2001, officials split the 412 area code, adding 724 for areas outside of the city of Pittsburgh and making 10-digit dialing mandatory. The 724 area code includes all or parts of 14 counties, including Washington and Greene.
Unlike in 2001, residents won't have to worry about their numbers changing. The remaining 724 numbers will be handed out on a first-come-first-served basis before the new 878 phone lines are activated with an overlay distribution. An overlay occurs when more than one area code serves customers in the same geographic region.
"We don't expect any disruption," said Verizon spokesman Lee Gierczynski. "An overlay has been the preferred method of introducing new area codes because it's the least disruptive to customers that have existing lines. It also has less of an effect on businesses who would have to change stationary and business documents."
Demand for new lines has caused the area to run out of exchange codes, or prefixes – the second set of three-digit numbers in a phone number. The commission has had a plan in place to employ an 878 area code in the area since the 724 code was created, but a number of conservation methods have prolonged the life of the two-code region for more than a decade.
"I don't see it happening right away, but if customers do start to see the 878 area code out there, it's important for them to know that it's not really going to impact how they make calls or how they're billed," Gierczynski said. "It also won't change local call rates or dialing 911."

Allen Ginsburg, Abbie Hoffman, naked hippies and "Yippies" chillin' in Lincoln Park. An effigy of Mayor Richard M Daley burnt to cinders. And, of course, helmeted Chicago police officers and Illinois National Guardsmen busting heads with batons and rifle butts.
These are the images from the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago as presented in The Walker Report, the official investigation into the riots that broke out while Democrats picked Hubert Humphrey as their presidential nominee.
Forty years later, candidates are again facing an unpopular war and civil equality at the forefront of debate. The question is, are Democrats looking at a repeat for the 2008 convention this week in Denver?
"During the week of the Democratic National Convention, the Chicago police were the targets of mounting provocation by both word and act," the Walker Report, given to the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, begins. "It took the form of obscene epithets, and of rocks, sticks, bathroom tiles, and even human feces hurled at police by demonstrators."
And that's why the Denver City Council had to explicitly illegalize "urine buckets" and "feces bombs" for the week of the 2008 DNC.
Analysts predict that more than 45,000 demonstrators will rock the parks and streets surrounding the Pepsi Convention Center, representing interests that range from pro-life to anti-war. The propensity for violence may not be as strong as it was in 1968 (the year both Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. were assassinated), but the possibility has cast a shadow over the entire primary process. On one side, Clinton supporters have threatened to fight for her all the way to the convention floor. On the other, radio jock Rush Limbaugh has been calling for mass rioting at the convention with his "Project Chaos" campaign, ever since he realized that Democratic in-fighting might be the only way to save a failing Republican brand.
But those doing the actual protesting are less interested in chaos than social upheaval.
The Re-create 68 Alliance formed 1½ years ago to plan for all the hoops and red tape protestors needed to jump through and cut before asserting their right to assemble.
"It's important to stress the fact that we didn't call ourselves 'Re-create Chicago 68' or 'Re-create the Democratic Convention 68,'" spokesman Mark Cohen tells SFR. "We have no desire to re-create what happened in Chicago since that was, as [The Walker Report] said, a police riot."
Nevertheless, the schedule of events released by Recreate 68 mirrors those initially proposed by the organizers of the 1968 demonstrations, including "Self Defense for Protestors" courses by mixed-martial arts instructors, a recorded message from death-row inmate Mumia Abu-Jamal and a performance from the political rap-duo dead prez.
"When we say 'Re-create 68,' what we're talking about is recreating the mass grassroots movements of the 1960s," Cohen says. "We feel for the past 30 years, at least, we've been playing a rear-guard action against a greatly powerful Right that's been trying to roll back the gains of the 1960s. So, we wanted to re-create those mass movements and start moving this country forward again in a more progressive direction."
While the groups involved in the Alliance focus on issues that range from anti-militarization to single-payer health care, conservative activists also plan to make their voices heard outside the convention.
Danielle White Versluys, a member of the pro-life youth group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust who is planning the group's activities at the DNC, says she too has been awaiting the convention since summer 2007. The group's event, A Prayer for Change, is the culmination of partnership with the Christian Defense Coalition and Stand True. Leaders from the moral-majority group Focus on the Family will kick off the demonstrations with a rally on Aug. 22, the Friday before the convention begins.
"We don't want to let pro-abortion politicians sweep the issue under the rug," Versluys tells SFR. "We want to remind those who support them what exactly abortion is, which is why we do use graphic pictures of aborted children and used them with Sen. Obama during the primaries."
One of the highlights of their protests, Versulys says, will be when they place 1,400 roses outside the Pepsi Center to remind Democrats of what she says are 1,400 African-American babies aborted every day in America. Versulys promises Survivors will hound the Republican nominee John McCain just as hard if he picks Tom Ridge, who is pro-choice, as his running mate.
Though the demonstrators are from opposite sides of the political spectrum, both are hoping to avoid violence.
"The last thing we want to do is make Rush Limbaugh happy," Cohen says.
Several groups will run events throughout the week. Here are the Web sites to check if you're a non-delegate and are still planning to journey to Denver.
The Big Tent
The big new-media sponsors (Digg, Google, etc.) of DNC blogger coverage will offer public access to "The Big Tent," the multimedia space just outside the convention center. Delegates and politicians will answer questions at the Digg stage throughout the convention. Tours also will be available.
Democratic Party events
Many of the committee and sub-committee meetings during the convention will be open to the public on a first-
registration, first-serve basis. The Democratic Party also is promoting a series of semi-related events, including the After Five Jazz & Blues Festival, The American Presidential Experience, the largest traveling exhibit of presidential memorabilia and a $55-per-ticket Willie Nelson concert. Rage Against the Machine is also set to perform; tickets are available through an online lottery.
Re-create 68
The Re-create 68 Coalition's series of events begins with activist training. There will be speakers representing Palestinian refugees, the Black Panthers and the World Workers Party. Green Party presidential nominee Cynthia McKinney also will make an appearance around the same time the rap duo dead prez kicks off the first major rally of the convention on Aug. 24.
