LIC Housing operates in the mortgage financing business where growth and asset quality have proven to be healthy in the last few years. LIC Housing is one of the top players in this mortgage market with a 10% market share.
LIC Housing Finance Ltd (LICHF) is one of the largest housing finance companies in India promoted by LIC. The company launched its maiden Global Depository Receipt (GDR) issue in 2004. The GDRs are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The main objective of the company is to provide long-term finance to individuals for purchase/reconstruction of new/existing flats. We are positive on the company owing to the fundamental improvement in earnings from FY13E onwards benefiting from re-pricing and higher developer loan build up. The company's net profit is likely to grow at 29.9% CAGR over FY12-14E.
Investment Rationale
It has been observed that housing finance companies (HFCs) have been consistently gaining market share in the mortgage market as compared to their peer banks over the last five years. According to a report by CRISIL, the market share of HFCs in disbursement growth has increased to approximately 51% in FY11 from approximately 36% in FY07. This is a result of better and controlled focus on a single market, which is further enhanced by better customer focus. Moreover, we have seen that as compared to banks, which have been facing stress in their asset quality, HFCs have been able to maintain their asset quality at comfortable levels.
Increasing market share in the mortgage market
LICHF's market share has consistently witnessed an improvement over the past five years. The company has been able to increase its market share from a mere 5% in FY07 to 10% in FY12, benefiting from the strong distribution network of the company. The total mortgage market has witnessed a CAGR growth of 15% over FY07-FY12 whereas LIC Housing has seen a CAGR growth of 29% over the same period.
LIC Housing operates in the mortgage financing business where growth and asset quality have proven to be healthy in the last few years. LIC Housing is one of the top players in this mortgage market with a 10% market share.
Driven by strong disbursement and focus on asset quality, LIC Housing is well positioned to deliver sustainable and profitable growth. Moreover, the company has already proved its worth by reporting an excellent track record of profitability and building up a healthy balance sheet.
Healthy asset quality and prudent provisioning policy makes LIC Housing better placed compared to its peers in the housing financing space. Going forward with improvement in the company's operating performance, the return ratios are set to improve. We believe that the current valuations of 2.06x FY13E and 1.72x FY14E P/BV are attractive.

Heinlein's Senior Art Show to Begin at Bethany College Renner Art Gallery
BETHANY, W.Va. — The 2010 Bethany College Senior Art Show will feature visual art major Katie Heinlein. The exhibit will begin on March 26and will run through April 11. The artist's reception will be held Saturday, April 10, from 7:30-9 p.m. in the Renner Art Gallery on the Bethany College campus.
Heinlein, a double major in Art Education and Spanish Education at Bethany, is the daughter of James and Lori Heinlein of Claysville, Pa. She is also working on her Spanish senior project, a Spanish thesis focusing on the art and literature of the Spanish Civil War. Katie will be taking her visual art comprehensive exams in May and will be student teaching next fall.
"It's been a joy to work with Ms. Heinlein, because she is tireless in her efforts to fulfill class assignments in a quest toward perfection," said Jennie Steindorf Renner Chair of Fine Arts and Professor of Fine Arts Herb Weaver when asked to describe the artist. "Not only is Katie a fine and well-versed artist, but she is a kind and caring person who works well with faculty and students."
Heinlein is very active in campus life at Bethany College. She is a member of the Delta Epsilon Pi Sorority, Spanish Club and Student Artists' Guild and has held executive positions in all three. Currently, she belongs to three honor fraternities – Kappa Pi, International Honorary Art Fraternity; Kappa Delta Pi, National Education Honor Fraternity; and Gamma Kappa Sigma, Bethany College Academic Honor Fraternity. In 2009, Katie also received the Wes Wagner Award for visual artists and the Margaret R. Woods Award for Spanish achievement.
Kenn Morgan, Professor of Fine Arts and Heinlein's visual art academic advisor, commented that "Katie completes each project with dedication and enthusiasm. She is extremely dependable and an excellent addition to the classroom. I'm confident she'll be a valuable teacher to many lucky middle school students in the future."
The exhibit, a visual art major graduation requirement, will display art in a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, ceramics, handmade jewelry and crochet work. Several of Heinlein's pieces will be available for sale at the show.
Bethany College is a small college of national distinction located on a picturesque and historic 1,300-acre campus in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia. Founded in 1840, Bethany is the state's oldest private college.

SHOLING striker Lee Wort continued his great start to 2013 as his side came from behind to secure their first away win of the season.
Fresh from scoring twice in the New Year's Day success against Winchester City, Wort bagged a hat-trick in a 3-2 victory at Shortwood.
Within five minutes of Shortwood taking the lead, Wort equalised after cutting in from the flank on the half-hour.
He put the Boatmen in front in the 38th minute, shooting low from just outside the area.
Wort was given time and space to complete his hat-trick on the hour and could have had more before Mark Pritchett headed in a late consolation for the home side.

Bombs went off outside five Christian churches in the Iraqi capital on Sunday, in coordinated attacks that killed four people and injured more than 30, Iraqi police said.
In the most serious attack, a car bomb went off near a church on Palestine Street in eastern Baghdad, killing four people and injuring 21. A police source told Reuters at least eight Christians were among the wounded.
Shortly afterwards, a bomb outside a church in southern Baghdad's Dora district injured three people and damaged the building. Earlier, three bombs hidden in cardboard boxes exploded near the gates of churches in the Ghadir and Karrada districts of central and eastern Baghdad. One injured seven people, the others caused no injuries.

A new series from Greg Rucka means one thing: Jump on it now. Don't wait for the fifth or sixth book to roll around, because then you'll be lost. ALPHA introduces us to Jad Bell, a new Delta Force operative whose latest assignment will hit very close to home: running security for a theme park called WilsonVille.
Bell has been assigned this task because the previous agent working undercover came a little too close to something shady going on, winding up dead. It seems there have been some rumblings that WilsonVille has been targeted for a terrorist operation.
The who and why is unknown, and when the readers see that it's a sleeper agent making time until the day he is needed will chill some. To add to Bell's problems is that his daughter and ex-wife are coming to the theme park with her school, where the students are all deaf.
Rucka seems to enjoy piling onto his main character's problems, making it no easy task for Bell. The bad guys have a bigger agenda and money behind them — they're actually not some militant group, but paid professionals. It all builds to the climax which, of course, leads right into the eventual follow-up.
Bell is the type of character who seems to be at the right time whenever needed. That's nothing groundbreaking for this type of novel, as most readers know going in what to expect. A bit of commando jargon and code names might muddle some readers' appreciation of the story — some of Bell's backstory is hurt by this — but on the whole, it's a solid action tale.
Bell is a likable lead, while the enemy leader is definitely the type of villain who just oozes evil, which makes ALPHA all the more fun to read. For those who have never read Rucka before — whether his novels or comic work — get ready: This is a great representation of the man's style and talent. —Bruce Grossman

The wait is finally over.
Oklahoma State has had some exciting games so far this season along with great games against Top 25 opponents, but the 1st of at least 2 games between the Cowboys and the Kansas Jayhawks will finally happen Saturday afternoon in the Phog. Last season the Cowboys and Jayhawks had one of the most exciting series in the Big XII with each taking a victory at their opponent's home court.
With the announcement of star players staying and arriving for both teams, it was not surprise that OSU and KU would be the heavy favorites for the Big XII this season. I can probably speak for everyone when I say how excited I have been for this matchup, and we do not have to wait any longer for it to happen.
Article Continues Below
Kansas had one of the toughest nonconference schedules of any team in the nation this season, and while they won some big time games, they also lost some games they probably should have won. The Jayhawks had their highs (like beating Duke) and lows (losing to San Diego State at home) and would come out of the gauntlet 9-4. However, the Jayhawks have reminded everyone why the road to the Big XII title goes through Lawrence, as they have won their first three conference games and remain as the only unbeaten team in conference play in the Big XII. KU has been playing their best basketball yet and now they will set their sights on getting revenge against the Cowboys after OSU shocked everyone and came out of the Phog as the winners last season.
For the Cowboys, last season's win at Kansas proved to be a huge turning point for the Cowboys. Their win helped them play with confidence for the rest of the season and helped them get back into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2010. Another win in Lawrence would cause a tie between Kansas and Oklahoma State for 1st in the standings and once again give the Cowboys huge momentum as they continue through conference play. For the Jayhawks, a win for them would be sweet revenge from last year's game, but would also put more distance between them and the rest of the Big XII for the top spot in the conference. One thing is for sure though and that is Saturday's game will be one of the best games in the conference this season.
• Who?: University of Kansas
• Nickname: Jayhawks
• Location: Lawrence, Kansas
• 2012-13 Record: 31-6 (14-4); Big XII Regular Season and Tournament Champions; lost in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament to Michigan 85-87 OT
• Current Record: 12-4 (3-0); 1st in the Big XII
• RPI: 1st
• Best Win: @ Iowa State (RPI: 9th)
• Worst Loss: @ Colorado (RPI: 15th)
• Last Matchup vs. OSU: 2/20/13 (KU 68-67 2OT)
• Series vs. OSU: Kansas leads the series 107-54
Notable Players:
Andrew Wiggins (Fr.) F: You may have heard this name a few times this season. Wiggins was the number one overall player in the 2013 class according to Rivals and many other recruiting websites. Coming into the season Wiggins was hyped up by the media as a player with athleticism like Lebron James, but most would agree that he has not met that expectation. That being said calling Wiggins "overrated" is really unfair as he is still one of the best players in college basketball this season. Wiggins is the Jayhawks' leading scorer and is 9th in the conference in points per game with 15.8. The Jayhawks have been playing some of their best basketball since conference plays start, and the same can be said about Wiggins. In their last game at Iowa State he finished with 17 points and had a career high 19 rebounds to add to his stat line. The freshman sensation has been pretty consistent in big time games for the Jayhawks and now gets another chance to shine in what I believe will be the best series in the Big XII this season. Marcus Smart wants him to prove that he's as good as everyone hyped him up to be, and now he has the opportunity Saturday afternoon.
Joel Embiid (Fr.) C: While Wiggins received most of the immediate attention as one of the best players in the nation, Embiid has stormed onto the scene as one Kansas' best players, if not one of the best players in the country. Like Wiggins he was listed as a 5-star recruit and was the ranked the 3rd best center in the 2013 class and 25th best player. Everyone may have not noticed Embiid before the season started, but he has everyone's undivided attention now. He is averaging 10.9 points per game and has the highest field goal percentage in the nation, shooting at 67.7% from the field. Not only is one of the most efficient scorers in the country but he is also a great defensive anchor for the Jayhawks as well. Embiid is 2nd in the conference in blocks per game with 2.56, just behind Baylor's Isaiah Austin and is the team's leading rebounder and 6th in the conference with 7.4 per game. By far Embiid will be the biggest challenge the OSU front court has faced this season. If they found themselves in foul trouble early against Kansas, than Embiid will be huge problems for the Cowboys.
What to Watch For:
Marcus Smart vs. Andrew Wiggins: Although in recent games Coach Ford has put Smart at the 3, we more than likely won't see many one-on-one matchups between Smart and Wiggins. That being said this versus scenario is in regards to who will have the better performance in Allen Fieldhouse Saturday afternoon. When Smart announced his decision to return to Oklahoma State for his sophomore season, for a few weeks he was viewed by most as "the man" in the Big XII conference, but that title quickly went away after Wiggins announced that he would be playing basketball at Kansas. Smart in a matter of weeks went from the lime light to standing behind the stage and he made it vocal at the Big 12 Media Day that he was not okay with that. The wait is finally over and now both players will get a chance to show the nation exactly who runs the Big XII this season. Wiggins has played pretty well all season long and is coming off his best performance, but Smart is playing very well and has been stuffing the stat sheet since conference play began for the Cowboys. With Saturday's matchup being one of the biggest games all season for both teams, it will be very interesting to see which future NBA lottery pick will step up and claim the stage all for their own.
Points off Turnovers: Statistically the Jayhawks are in the top half of the rankings in almost every category in the Big XII, but one of the very big flaws that Kansas has is their ball security. The Jayhawks have the 2nd most turnovers in the Big XII and averaging the most turnovers per game than any other team at 13.8. The Jayhawks are one of three teams in the Big XII with a negative turnover margin and it is the lowest in the conference with -2.81. Meanwhile the Cowboys are 2nd in the conference in turnover margin with a +4.24 and are 1st in the Big XII in steals and steals per game. The interesting thing about the Jayhawks' turnover problem is that it is not one or two players responsible for the majority of their turnovers, but as a team the turnover bug has bitten them. If they Cowboys are able to capitalize off their turnovers early than they could get off to a quick start similar to last season's victory in Lawrence, which is what they will need again in order to win the game. I believe that the Cowboys will force a lot of turnovers in this game, but the question is can they capitalize off them.
I think the Cowboys have the talent and ability to beat the Jayhawks, but I don't think they will be able to beat them in Lawrence for the second year in a row. Kansas is on fire right now and while I do think the Cowboys can be the team to put them out, I don't think their hot streak will come to an end at home. It will be a very close game that comes down to the wire, but I see Kansas escaping with the win on Saturday. Kansas 76 - Oklahoma State 74

Airtime, a new video chatting service, launched on Tuesday in New York with equal parts star power and technical glitches, CNN Money reported.
The service, founded by Napster creators Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker (who was also the founding president of Facebook), allows users to anonymously chat with others based on their common interests, geography, or just random searches.
"We're trying to restore surprise and serendipity to the Internet," Parker told the New York Times. "It was definitely there in the early days, but it has disappeared."
More from GlobalPost: Are Facebook's days numbered? (VIDEO)
The new chatting application was inspired heavily by 2010's Internet sensation Chatroulette, which allowed video chatters to "next" others until someone they were interested in appeared on the screen. However, the site soon became marred by what Bloomberg Businessweek dubbed "the penis problem," further explained as "the impulse of otherwise rational men to celebrate a webcam chat by exposing themselves."
Airtime has attempted to circumvent Chatroulette's, ahem, shortcomings by linking up to Facebook: users sign in with their accounts, which lets Airtime import their photo, identifying information like their hometown and job, and all the things they've said they "like" on the popular social media network, according to Bloomberg. Users can then talk with Facebook friends or strangers, and both identities remain hidden until you "add" someone as a friend, according to the site.
Parker told the audience at the launch that Airtime has built-in accountability because of its link to Facebook, CNET reported.
"The system knows who you are," he told the audience at the product's unveiling, even though your new friend may not.

Airtime's launch, which was peppered with demonstrations by celebrities including actress Olivia Munn, rapper Snoop Dogg, and comedian Joel McHale, was much-buzzed about, but the event itself was full of technical difficulties, according to CNN.
"Glitch after glitch marred Airtime's first public showing, leaving the event's collection of celebrities riffing and improvising onstage while engineers tried to fix the bugs and revive dropped connections," wrote CNN's Laurie Segall.
However, it may not just be the technical issues that keep video chatting services like Airtime from catching on in the same way other new forms of communication like texting, IMing or e-mail did.
"Some people are still leery of the whole video experience," Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Gartner who follows the consumer Web, told the New York Times. "There are still a number of social inhibitors to video chat that have nothing to do with technology. People worry whether their hair is looking good and if they have to get dressed before taking a call."

'Bachelorette' Emily Maynard Dating Again, Could Lead to Marriage
Former "Bachelorette" star Emily Maynard confirmed that she is in a new relationship that is going "really, really well." The former contestant called off her engagement to Jef Holm one year ago.
"I have been seeing him since January," Maynard told Life & Style at the Shoes and Jewels party in Los Angeles. "It's going really, really well. Maybe one day [we'll get married]. I don't want to jinx anything!"
The new man, whose name Maynard would not reveal, lives close to her and daughter Ricki in Charlotte, North Carolina. It certainly makes the relationship easier than the one she had with Holm, who frequently visited Maynard and wound up moving there to be closer to her. Eventually, though, the relationship fizzled out and they called off their engagement.
Holm proposed to Maynard on the season finale of the "Bachelorette," but it wasn't long after the show aired that rumors of infidelity on both sides began flying. The pair decided to separate and finally broke off the engagement, surprising many who had hoped Maynard would find happiness for herself and daughter Ricki.
Ricki is also the daughter of NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, who died in a plane accident in 2004. She was prominently featured on Maynard's season of "Bachelorette," which was a unique twist to the dating show. Maynard only let Ricki meet two men throughout the whole series, wanting to shield her from meeting someone who may not be a permanent part of her life.
"I regret how it turned out, for sure," Maynard said when asked if she regretted being on TV. "It makes me sad, but it all worked out in the end. I couldn't be happier. It was all a blessing. My days are over. I gave it my best shot," she added when asked if she would ever consider being on another TV show.
Maynard competed on the "Bachelor" but after Brad Womack ended their relationship, she decided to go on her own journey on the "Bachelorette." Unfortunately, that relationship did not last either.

Hoyer Remarks at the National Association of Secretaries of State 2014 Conference
Mariel Saez, 202-225-3130
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) delivered remarks today at a luncheon during the National Association of Secretaries of State 2014 Conference. In his remarks, he discussed the need to protect voting rights and strengthen voting systems to ensure fair and transparent elections. Below are his remarks as prepared for delivery:
"I'm pleased to join in welcoming you to Maryland for this year's summer conference.
"Let me begin by thanking all of you for the work you do, which is so important to your states.
"Secretaries of State play a crucial role in making sure that our democracy lives up to its promise. By working closely with your state legislatures, governors, and county and local election officials, you ensure that the 'nuts and bolts' of our elections - legal guidance, voting machines, poll workers, and poll worker training – are properly functioning on election day and that they meet voters' expectations.
"There is so much that voters take for granted on election day that would not be in place if not for your hard work and often-unheralded efforts.
"As we head into this new election season, the role most of you will play as overseers of voting systems will be crucial.
"Our nation relies on free, fair, and transparent elections to maintain a strong democracy and the legitimacy of our institutions of representative government. You are the guardians of that process.
"In the disputed 2000 election in Florida, the American people were starkly reminded of how important that process is and how much work it takes. In the aftermath of that election, I sponsored the Help America Vote Act of 2002, which established the Election Assistance Commission and provided support to your states to help modernize voting systems and adopt best practices.
"I'm proud of that effort and what we were able to achieve – and I want to thank your Executive Director, Leslie Reynolds, for her help when we passed HAVA. Leslie will remember that HAVA was a bipartisan, bicameral accomplishment that brought together election officials from the federal, state, county, and local levels; civil rights advocates; and technical experts.
"It truly was an example of how the legislative process can and ought to respond when our nation is confronted with a difficult challenge.
"Your organization ought to be very proud of the important, positive role it had in enacting HAVA and meeting the challenges the 2000 election highlighted.
"But today our voting system faces a different and far more dangerous challenge.
"While voters no longer have to worry that their votes, when cast, will be counted – many are now facing the real threat that they will not be allowed to enter the voting booth.
"Requirements for specific forms of voter ID, which many Americans do not have or cannot afford in time and fees, effectively disenfranchise those least likely to possess them – African Americans, Latinos, seniors, and students.
"At the same time, we are seeing new restrictions on voter registration and the elimination of early voting days.
"These new barriers do nothing to make our elections more secure. On the contrary, they undermine our elections' legitimacy.
"For that reason, and because every voice in our democracy deserves to be heard, I joined last January with Rep. John Lewis and others to introduce the Voter Empowerment Act, which would reauthorize the election assistance commission and prevent the kind of voter suppression too many Americans are encountering as they try to exercise their fundamental right to vote.
"Last year, the Supreme Court's ruling in Shelby v. Holder was a terrible blow to our longstanding tradition of making the ballot box more accessible to Americans, not less. By invalidating Section 4 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the court issued a challenge to Congress to provide a new framework for preclearance.
"In a sign that this issue transcends partisan politics, Democrats and Republicans came together earlier this year, led by Reps. John Conyers and Jim Sensenbrenner, to answer that challenge with a new preclearance formula – one that will restore the protections that the Voting Rights Act set in place. I'm proud to be an original cosponsor of this bill, called the Voting Rights Amendment Act.
"Congress has a responsibility to take action on both of these important and timely pieces of legislation – in advance of the next election.
"All of you deserve a Congress that supports the work you do to ensure that our elections take place in a manner that is secure, fair, and accurate.
"The report issued by the President's Commission on Election Administration in January found that, nearly universally, American voters' number one priority is – and I quote: 'modern, efficient, and responsive administrative performance in the conduct of elections.'
"By partnering across the aisle, as Reps. Conyers, Sensenbrenner, and I have done with the Voting Rights Amendment Act, and by working together closely with you and other state and local officials, congress can achieve that goal.
"I will continue to work with Democratic Members and with our colleagues on the Republican side to push for Congress to strengthen our voting system and ensure that all Americans who are eligible to vote can cast a ballot and have it counted accurately.
"I thank you, again, for all the work you do toward that end, and I look forward to working with you as we continue to make our system of elections more reflective of America's enduring values of democracy and equality."

From the selection of WhereScape RED to the implementation of our Oracle data warehouse was nine months with two staff members. The enterprise data warehouse greatly enhances data consistency, data quality and data access for Weber State's hundreds of Tableau users.
What is the history of data warehousing at Weber State?
Weber State's data warehouse is 15 years in the making, the result of several false starts. The University's IT department had a "build it ourselves" mentality which never delivered a fully functioning enterprise solution. The result was multiple disparate systems with inconsistent data housed in data silos that proliferated throughout campus. We had no concept of centralization—departments were maintaining their own numbers in their own spreadsheets. We wanted the ability to enhance data consistency and sharing of data across the University for reporting and analysis.
Were there any new driving factors to get the project restarted? We had renewed support from the Administration. We worked very closely with a new staff in the Institutional Reporting Office on designing and developing the solution. We had internal buy-in from the Administration to the level they contributed funding to the development effort.
Would you describe Your Due Diligence Process?
Even with our past failures in developing an enterprise data warehouse, we still considered building our own solutions once again. But it readily became apparent that we could not complete the project in a timely way with the resources we had. We also recognized that we would never get the project airborne because requirements would change too quickly, policies would change too quickly and there were too many other demands on IT's time.
In seeking our solution, we investigated packaged cloud-based solutions. Our due diligence showed that a majority of the universities who had purchased these solutions had ended up doing heavy customization to where they might have been better off building their own. We also faced a harsh reality; universities who had successfully built their own data warehouse or heavily customized a packaged solution had personnel resources six or seven times or more what we were able to throw at this development effort.
We felt boxed in at this point, and were leaning towards purchasing a packaged solution and customizing it to the best of our abilities. Then we found WhereScape--one of the things that stood out about WhereScape RED during our due diligence was that the software is intended to be used with a small staff, which fit real well with the realities of the staffing we had to work with.
What are Your Results to Date with WhereScape?
From the selection of WhereScape RED to the implementation of our Oracle data warehouse was nine months with two staff members. The enterprise data warehouse greatly enhances data consistency, data quality and data access for Weber State's hundreds of Tableau users and is enabling analysts to ask and answer questions that were not possible due to the University's previous data management infrastructure. The initial rollout of the data warehouse contains Weber State student information comprised of 10 fact tables and supporting dimensions detailing one million student registration records dating back to 2006.
Using Tableau, we are now able to analyze student demographics in some very powerful and insightful ways.
How would you gauge your success to date?
The initial warehouse deployment is satisfying approximately 80 percent of our existing user needs. While a great accomplishment, it is truly not indicative of our success because there is a greatly increased breadth of analysis users are able to conduct on the data warehouse. What we hoped for is happening. Our reporting and analytics users are excited and are imagining the possibilities of what is now possible. More and more IT is able to say "yes we can" to business requests. Our user community will grow significantly as word spreads of our success and the data warehouse--and the data contained in it--are taken for granted and our user community trusts the data to use as part of their daily job.
What is next on your development roadmap?
Financial aid and human resource information are next on the integration priority list. Using WhereScape RED, we are confident that within a month we will have a substantial amount of information from these systems integrated and deployed into production.
What does WhereScape bring to Weber State?
The big things we lacked were expertise—but just as importantly—confidence. We felt expertise could come with time and use. WhereScape provided us that expertise as well as the confidence we could get the job done.
WhereScape RED takes the guesswork out of things. Oracle developer expertise, best practices and automation are built into the software. We often catch ourselves asking, 'How long would it take me to do this by hand?
With WhereScape, we have been able to do a lot more with a lot less resources. We completed phase one of the data warehouse much sooner than we ever thought possible—by a long shot. And that includes the development effort going on during the University's heaviest registration period. It is very difficult to put a hard number, or quantify how much benefit we are getting out of our data warehouse, but suffice it to say the project has been deemed an overwhelming success by management and users alike.

I think it makes sense, that you do not want to depend on pandoc for GHC's build process. But would a more lightweight unlit for Markdown work? Hmm, one issue could arise with a huge codebase (like GHC's) that uses both traditional literate Haskell and Markdown. You can't set the unlit program globally then. I think this could be solved by adding {-# OPTIONS_GHC -pgmL unlit-markdown #-} to source files that use Markdown. Sadly this is no valid Markdown, so it is not really sane to add it to a Markdown file. Would it work to adapt GHC's option sniffing, so that it recognizes options in HTML comments (which are valid Markdown): <!-- OPTIONS_GHC -pgmL unlit-markdown --> Possibly with the requirement that it has to be on the first line, and maybe guarded by a flag (e.g. -ext-options-sniffing)? Cheers, Simon

It's a bit hard to review this product. Especially since it smelled differently on everyone! And at first when you heard it was made out of fig and caviar (CAVIAR!!) I didn't know what to expect. But on me, it was a bit strong. Definitely a night out scent. I love the bottle is very different. And eco friendly. The bottle is refillable! So not only is the bottle absolutely hot, you won't feel like you are wasting it by tossing it when the perfume is gone. So maybe you need to be a little light on the spraying. Especially if you like more of a lighter scent. I honestly reccomend that you spray the air and do the walk through. But definitely smell and spray this scent for yourself. It seems that people either adore Thierry Mugler's fragrances or absolutely hate it. I adore Womanity. Love what it stands for and the smell is delish. Very forward thinking and green with the packaging. But you may find me doing the walk through technique when I spray this! 😉
3 thoughts on "Product Review: Thierry Mugler Womanity"
I like Tierry ugler scent. It's so feminine and feel so womanly.
that bottle is gorgeous. i have never heard of their perfumes before but now you have me wanting to check them out.. though i am scared because i am a bit heavy handed with the scents sometimes.

Terrifying Amusement Park Accidents Caught on Tape [VIDEO]
One can't help but wonder about the safety of amusement rides at traveling carnivals. Yet, they typically come and go without incident. That wasn't the case on Sunday when 13 people were injured on a carnival ride in Norwalk, Connecticut. The rotating swing ride suddenly stopped sending riders crashing into each other.Fortunately, the injuries were not life-threatening, however, amusement park accidents don't always turn out this way.
Over the years, amusement park and carnival ride accidents have caused injury and sometimes, even death. Let's face it. Part of the thrill is often times the element of danger. I remember as a kid feeling the terror of the possibility of death and danger. I got over it, and for years enjoyed the chills and thrills. I think now I'm reverting back to my childhood. I would rather feel safe than terrified.
Here's a look at some amusement park rides gone bad – caught on tape!

Abba star Agnetha Faltskog has dismissed longrunning rumours she lives the life of a hermit, insisting: "I'm not a recluse."
The Swedish superstar pursued a solo career after the Waterloo hitmakers unofficially split in 1982, but she gradually retreated from the public eye - and her determination to avoid the trappings of fame led to fevered speculation about her lifestyle.
She was rumoured to have set up home on a remote Swedish island where she would spend her days talking to her horses, but the pop singer has now spoken out to insist she is not an oddball.
Faltskog tells British magazine You, "The press has always written that I am a recluse and a mystery woman, but I am more down-to-earth than they think. I live on a farm and there is a little bridge to get to Stockholm. I live a normal life there with my (dogs)... I chat to other dog walkers, I go shopping and out to restaurants with friends.
"I don't mind signing autographs as long as there's not a queue forming... Maybe I was a recluse for some years (at the time). I was so tired once Abba was over and just wanted to be calm and with my children."

Worst Performances: Ocean's Twelve (2004), Smokin' Aces (2007), The Air I Breathe (2007)
Need a foolproof sign that a movie is both lazily executed and lacking in a key area? Just look for Andy Garcia in either the "tough gangster" or "hard-nosed cop" roles. The Cuban actor hasn't always signified dullness to us; even though it's the weakest of the trilogy, The Godfather Part III does show off some of Garcia's best work. But the highlights are few and far between, overshadowed by redundant characters in middling crime dramas.

Can you please help me.
I'm trying to remove the sidebar from the category overview page but I can't find where to remove it.
You can have a look at the page I mean at http://crank-bikes.nl/crank-test/?product_cat=onderdelen
Have you tried to look at Widgtes > Shop Overview Page (right) and Show everywhere options?
Hi Wilson,
Thanks for you're answer. And to answer you're question; there are no widgets in use in any area so I'm afraid that doesn't solve it.
Try to add some other widgets at (in your case) Shop Overview Page (right) just to see if they get spotted on your catalog page….
BTW> i´m also trying to configure my shop page as well and maybe we can help each other cauzthings tend to take a VERY LONG time around here :-)
YOu can remove the sidebar with the help of a few simple css snipets:
add this to your custom.css stylesheet in folder /css/ or to the quick-css panel located in your wordpress backend at abundance->styling:
.tax-product_cat .sidebar{display:none;}
.tax-product_cat .template-shop.content{width:100%; padding-right:0;}
That works perfectly… Thx
Glad the fix from Kriesi did the trick for you :)

thx for your review.
I believe what he means is that they didn't include the original stereo track. The DD 2.0 track is a mixed down version of the DD 5.1 track. This was because there was apparently massive damage done to the original soundtrack and so they decided not to use it. A minor detail in my opinion.
I just watched the UK R2 DVD of Highlander yesterday and the sound on that version does sound a bit tinny at times. Hopefully this version won't.
I'm buying the light US version for the commentary alone. There's really nothing else to recommend it if you have either the UK or the Australian DVDs. I don't think the video will be much better. And the Immortal Edition is a hoax since the extras isn't about the movie at all. Sure Queen's music is important to the movie but to make ALL extras about them is going too far.

As any parent of a toddler can tell you, the ability of babies to understand what they see and hear develops well before their ability to speak. But, you can give them that ability with sign language. With the Baby Signing Book you can teach your child 350 age- and developmentally-appropriate signs. Starting at 7 to 9 months old, or when your baby first starts to wave bye-bye or raise his hands to be picked up, you can begin teaching some simple signs like eat, milk, and more. Then you just add new ones as you and your baby are ready. The book includes clear instructions and many illustrations so you're not totally lost. This is a book that I definitely wish we had a while ago. We use a few signs ourselves (even though Andy hasn't really picked them up), but we don't use them too extensively because we don't know the signs!

When it comes to marriage equality, actor Harrison Ford's views have nothing in common with the antigay author whose movie he will soon be starring in.
Science fiction author Orson Scott Card is a National Organization for Marriage board member. He recently made headlines when DC Entertainment employed Card to write a Superman comic, which has so far been scuttled because no artist will work on it. Next up for Card, though, is a movie adaptation of his novel, Ender's Game, in what is supposed to be a November blockbuster movie starring Ford.
Card supports the criminalization of homosexuality and has claimed marriage equality will lead to the end of civilization. In an interview with Salon, Card said "Gay rights is a collective delusion that's being attempted."
Ford's latest movie, 42, out this weekend is about the civil rights trailblazing effect of Jackie Robinson. And during an interview he compared the civil rights movement to LGBT people's quest for equal rights.
"Trying to create the best expression of the ideals — the most equal society, the best-regulated society, the best-behaving society — depend on attending to equality and inequity whenever it rears its ugly head," Ford told Metro. "Certainly the marriage issue conveniently falls into that category."
He said the country is nearing "a tipping point" in favor of full equality for LGBT people.
"Things do change quickly at a tipping point, as it builds and it builds and it builds until there's a moment where the balance of opinion, the weight of experience and the understanding comes to a point where the scales tip in the other direction," Ford said. "We're getting there, we're getting there. You know, you would hope that it would have happened with less resistance. You would have hoped that everyone would get the point at the same time, but life's not like that."
The Hollywood Reporter recently wrote an analysis warning that public opinion maybe have so rejected Card's ideas that it could lead to trouble when Ender's Game is released in theaters in November.
The film also stars Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley, Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld, and Viola Davis.

Not Just Good Enough
Beating the Pacers on the HEAT's Terms
"They've got a gear that we can't get to." – David West
For much of the regular season, that gear was absent. Sure, it would pop up for a stretch here and a stretch there, but it was always just enough to remind you of what the Miami HEAT were capable of. Rarely did the team, with a variety of maladies affecting the squad from week to week, actually appear to be consistently playing at the level they were hinting at.
The reminders had to be enough, because with lineups constantly in flux the reminders were all they were able to offer.
"Going through the week [to] week and grinding months of a regular season, it was a toll on all of us," LeBron James said.
"The regular season for us, we were hobbled," Ray Allen said.
There was never anything close to resembling panic, even as the team's defensive efficiency continued to slip closer to league average and the fourth-quarter execution wasn't producing the same stratospheric results as it had the season before. The team would have a bad game, even in victory, or a tough loss and find a way to use it and move on.
"When we were going through some of the rough stretches this regular season, I kind of liked it," Erik Spoelstra said. "I think we're often portrayed as we're just waiting for the postseason. That couldn't be further from the truth. There's a lot of passion and frustration when we were dropping ten of those games in the fourth quarter."
"Guys wanted to win. We had to deal with some injuries and different lineups and all those type of things and the struggle of closing out games. Ultimately, I think that helps you grow."
Growth came in the form of added versatility. Spoelstra used more two-guard lineups with Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole and later Toney Douglas. Rashard Lewis, such an important factor in spreading out the Indiana defense, would jump in and out of the starting lineup. Chris Bosh would play alongside Udonis Haslem and Chris Andersen in a traditional frontcourt more than ever. Michael Beasley played. Greg Oden made his long-awaited return to the court. Shane Battier would oscillate between 30 minutes and six.
Growth didn't always produce wins, but the team held true to its process.
"I believed," James said. "if we ever got to a point where our whole team was able to be available for Spo and for all of us, that we could compete with anybody. Never concerned about that."
We can spit out statistics until we're parched, but at some base, core level there are teams that believe that they can win a championship and teams that don't. And slowly but surely, as the playoffs began, the team rewarded its own belief with tangible results.
There were signs against the Charlotte Bobcats. A lockdown defensive quarter followed by a game-sealing run. A sweep, but a rather unremarkable sweep. Things improved against the Brooklyn Nets, but even in winning the series in five-games, the defense was just good enough. It got the job done, but it had yet to inspire outside belief.
Then there was this. This series. Six games against the league's best defense during the regular season. Game 1 was one of Miami's worst defensive games of the season. Every member of the team copped to that. Game 2 was solid, but not great. But in Game 3, the HEAT sustained their peak defense for the final 30 minutes of the game – one of their longest sustained stretches of the season. And by Game 4, the Omega Swarm was present and accounted for from the get-go. There would be one more loss, but even as contested jumpers fell against them in bunches, the HEAT's defense wasn't failing them.
Maybe the HEAT could have beaten the Indiana Pacers to reach their fourth-consecutive NBA Finals with 'just enough', but this wasn't that. This was that next gear, so much so that the team was almost unrecognizable to some of the newer members.
"It's funny, talking to guys like [Greg Oden] and [Toney Douglas], guys who haven't been around, they were like, 'Who are you guys? This is not a team I've seen all year'," Battier said.
"We told them, 'Just stay around long enough. You'll see a different team. Trust me, we're not bad, we're not bad when we play hard.'"
Not bad on offense, where the HEAT scored 114.3 points per 100 possessions, getting their corner threes and shots at the rim – where James shot 81.6 percent on just three fewer at-rim attempts than David West and Roy Hibbert combined. They could have played Indiana's game, taking all the mid-range shots the Pacers' defense invites, but the HEAT played almost entirely within their offense. One pick-and-roll flowed into the next, each player on the floor touching the ball until someone found an efficient look.
"Well, they executed the heck out of it offensively," Frank Vogel said.
And not bad on defense, where the Pacers scoring just a tick below league-average offensive efficiency belied just how engaged each Miami player was in executing a slightly more conservative, with plenty of timely aggression, scheme at Spoelstra's behest.
At some point in the last six games, the HEAT appear to have found themselves. Found that gear that West referred to. It may have taken until the postseason, with a healthy team, for it to show up consistently, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that. Spoelstra said since the first day of training camp that they would have to throw the past out the window and treat this season as a new journey, complete with new trials and tribulations. A different journey can still reach the same destination.
There's so many different ways to get there, if you look at teams' championship years over years past," Allen said. "If you go back, the different seeds that won championships, what their records were, it doesn't always have to be a 60-win team. It happens so many different ways. We knew that we had the players, the team, the chemistry, it was just a matter of getting there and locking in."
Whoever Miami's next opponent turns out to be, new challenges await. The San Antonio Spurs scheme and execute as well as any team in recent, or distant, memory. The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the few teams that can smother an opponent with sheer skill and athleticism. But nothing matters more than the HEAT being locked in to what they do and how well they are supposed to do it. If that much is taken care of, it's on Miami's opponent to match that gear.
Against the Pacers, the HEAT didn't play to the level of their opponent – they exceeded it. By Game 6, a dominating 117-92 victory that required little analysis, the energy was overwhelming.
"They're able to embrace these moments and get to a level that we, for some reason, can't compete [with]," West said.
In getting to that level and keeping themselves there, finally the HEAT said enough with good enough.

Trailer firm driving forward after tough year on the roads
The NORTheRN Ireland depot of a Scottish trailer firm has completed a £2.3m order, in good news following redundancies this year.
Gray & Adams , based in Newtownabbey, Co Antrim, provided 50 refrigerated trailers to McBurney Transport/McBurney Refrigeration in Kells, Co Antrim.
Gray & Adams in Northern Ireland made a small number of redundancies in July. In July 2007 Gray & Adams received a £2m order of trailers from McBurney Transport, the biggest order received by Gray & Adams from a Northern Ireland company. Gray & Adams was set up in Newtownabbey, in 1981.
The Scottish firm was set up in 1957, initially for commercial bodywork repairs before progressing to insulated containers.
Billy Dougan, managing director of Gray & Adams, said: "The McBurney deal was very welcome at a time when the industry was seeing the effects of the downturn in the economy.
"Our contract, along with the Dennison Commercials deal, is a true reflection of Norman McBurney's continued support of the local Northern Irish economy".
Norman McBurney said: "I continue to buy from Gray & Adams because of their trailers' superior construction and because the quality is second to none".

Some students got to start their summer vacation a little bit early after a water main break on the last day of school.
South Charleston High School and Richmond Elementary let students go home at 8:45 a.m. after a water main break along Chestnut Street on Friday morning.
Homes in the surrounding area were also without water or experiencing low pressure.
Teachers said most of the kids were happy they got to leave but there were a few who were sad.
"We had one break down and cry. He wanted to come in so bad and see his teacher. I think they're a little excited, too," said Kat Miller, fifth grade teacher at Richmond Elementary.
West Virginia American Water fixed the problem just before noon.

Me too!
I've actually been using creditkarma to work on my score. I've been able to bring it up 100 points by taking the site's tips.
But I can no longer see the historical scores, which was what I was using to figure out what works and what doesn't.
Very annoying that they got rid of this. Now I'm tracking my own scores in a spreadsheet.
BTW, the thing that seemed to bump my score up the most was taking out an unnecessary loan for 10k. I tend to keep no debt at all. Not owing a bank any money appears to have been suppressing my score. Funny that the more financially responsible you are, the lower your score will probably be.

IMF Survey: 'Setback for All' if Financial Turmoil Slows Globalization
October 15, 2008
- Developing economies' growth to slow as turmoil spills to emerging markets
- Policy interventions will result in very different international financial system
- Saying that globalization of finance is a bad idea "would be a tragedy"
Developed and developing economies alike would suffer a major setback if the global financial crisis resulted in a retrenchment in globalization, a panel of economists said.
In an October 10 discussion during the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings, several leading economists acknowledged the damage created by the global financial turmoil and the need to repair and rebuild the international financial system.
The panel, discussing "Global Turbulence and the Slowdown in G-7 Growth: Can Developing Countries Sustain High Growth, and How?" accepted that the crisis justifies a major rethinking of the financial sector. But some speakers said that if such a reassessment included any reversal of the general policy of opening up the world economy, it would have serious negative consequences.
The panel also made three other assertions:
• The crisis, which originated in the U.S. market for subprime mortgages but has spread to other credit markets and other advanced economies, was the result of failures at many levels, private and public.
• Developing economies, which had seemed relatively resistant to the credit problems in the advanced economies, will see lower growth as the turmoil spills over into emerging markets.
• The problems are so deep that the dramatic policy interventions governments are making will result in an international financial system that is much different, but that likely will be the result of cumulative responses rather than grand design.
Negative consequences
Michael Spence, Chairman of the Commission on Growth and Development, said that the breadth and swiftness of the spread of liquidity and solvency issues is an indication that global credit markets integrated so fast that policy coordination and regulation could not keep pace. That justifies a major rethinking of the financial sector, but if that spills over into a major rethinking of the "general policy of opening up the world economy or there is some reversal in that, that will have very dramatic negative consequences."

Mohamed El-Erian, co-chief executive of the U.S.-based asset management firm PIMCO, warned that in coming months there will be a tendency by many to "go beyond the truth, which is that certain financial instruments were abused" because of inadequacies in the current financial architecture, to "saying that globalization of finance is a bad idea. That would be a tragedy."
Spence and Mahmoud Mohieldin, Egypt's Investment Minister, said that the economic advances of most developing and emerging economies have been the result of a stable and open world economy.
Sharply higher growth
Egypt introduced economic reforms in 2004 based on integration with the rest of the world—through exports and investment—and achieved sharply higher growth rates for the three years that followed. Now, Mohieldin said, Egypt and other developing economies will have to learn how to grow without the benign conditions that prevailed until this year as the financial problems spill into the real economies and growth slows in the United States and Europe.
He cited inflation, and the difficulty in raising capital and financing trade that the credit crisis causes, as areas that will hinder growth. The problem is not just in Wall Street and Main Street, Mohieldin said, but "in many countries without even decent streets to be in."
El-Erian said that at the start of the credit market problems last year, most emerging market countries were in good economic and financial shape. They had accumulated a high level of international reserves, had low debt ratios, were not much exposed to the complex structured financial products at the heart of the crisis, and had good and balanced economic growth.

"Emerging economies were no longer viewed as a source of systemic crisis," and they instead were viewed as possibly being able to decouple from what was happening at the center. Now, he said, it is no longer a question of decoupling but whether it will be "soft coupling, or weak coupling, or hard coupling."
Failures at all levels
El-Erian said that the abuse of financial instruments that led to the global crisis is the result of failures at all levels that should have sniffed out the problems:
• At financial firms, where risk management broke down
• At the oversight level, where ratings agencies did not alert investors to the risk problems
• In national governments, where supervisory and regulatory bodies did not intervene
• At the multilateral level, where international financial institutions such as the IMF— whose warnings were not heeded—failed to engage key actors on the threats to global instability.

With major financial institutions facing insolvency, with credit markets frozen and companies and consumers unable to borrow, with recessions looming, and with equity markets in free fall, policymakers are intervening. To unfreeze markets and restore confidence, the United States, Europe and other countries have taken or are considering such steps as injecting massive amounts of liquidity into the banking systems, sharply increasing deposit insurance, dealing with failing banks and, direct government purchase of toxic assets and recapitalization of institutions weakened by them
Crisis management
The global financial system is being refined "day in and day out," El Erian said, and as a result the balance between public and private is shifting and regulation is altering. "This is not being done according to some master plan," but in reaction to a series of crisis management interventions.
None of these piecemeal policy moves restored confidence in the markets, he said. What is needed is a coordinated and simultaneous set of policy actions globally in four areas: restoration of credit markets, elimination of deteriorating assets from balance sheets, injecting capital quickly into the banking system, and regulatory forbearance.
But policymakers should be wary of making code, regulatory, and standards changes in the middle of a crisis, because they could have unintended consequences, warned Egypt's Mohieldin. Moreover, he said, policymakers must be cautious about even temporary measures such as recapitalization of banks, because they can develop constituencies and be difficult to reverse.
In some developing countries temporary measures introduced 70 years ago are still in place. "There is nothing more permanent than temporary measures," he said.

This post brought to you by Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Becoming Martha.
When I was asked by Martha Stewart Living to create a summer appetizer using Triscuit crackers and cherry tomatoes, I was a little stumped at first. Then, during a trip to a local market, I saw this basket of absolutely beautiful heirloom tomatoes, which set the wheels in motion.
The wonderful thing about Triscuit crackers is they now come in so many flavours and even thin, extra crispy style. I decided to pair the roasted garlic ones with my picture perfect tomatoes, and the rest fell easily in to place. (Note – make sure you read through to the bottom of this post, you won't want to miss the chance to win a free trip to New York City to meet Martha herself!)
Seriously – can we take a moment and admire these tomatoes, please?
Okay, back to business. The first thing I did was skewer the tomatoes and roast them in my oven. I set them on a low broil for about 15 minutes, turning them after 7-8 minutes.
While roasting, I snipped some chives from our little herb garden and stirred it into some goat cheese. I place a little dollop on each Triscuit cracker. To make a nice round dollop, I actually kind of rolled the goat cheese and then pressed it between my fingers to make a patty. This allows you to place it nicely on the middle of the cracker without smears and smudges on the edge – which also allows you to eat it and keep clean fingers!
You can peel the tomatos if you wish – I started to do this and realized I actually preferred them unpeeled. It was much more rustic, which I was going for. I loved the look of the skin once it was "smashed" on top of the goat cheese.
To smash the tomato after it was roasted, I pressed down on it gently with a fork before placing it on top of the goat cheese. After they were all assembled, I popped them back in the oven for about 5 minutes under a low broil to warm the cheese through. If you decide to use the bake setting, be careful – you don't want those Triscuit crackers to burn!
After photographing these babies, I went to edit my photos. During this time, my husband came home, and as you may know, he is a major foodie. He has been to culinary school and works in the food industry, so I am always intimidated when he tries my dishes. Let me tell you – he ate every last one of them and asked me to prepare another plate! The sweetness of the roasted tomatoes with the creamy goat cheese and crispy Triscuit cracker works better together than I could have even imagined!
**Full recipe at bottom of post**
And now for the best part: Martha Stewart is challenging you at home to a Triscuit Summer Snackoff – simply pair Triscuit crackers with select seasonal ingredients for a chance to win a trip to New York City to meet Martha Stewart and other fabulous other prizes! Every two weeks, a new seasonal ingredient will be announced – right now the challenge involves cherry tomatoes, as you may have guessed! I just love how Martha used the Triscuit crackers to form little cups in this dish below:
Now, what are you waiting for? Get in the kitchen and create a dish that will win you that trip to New York City – and if you can't think of anyone to take with you, I'm sure I could find room in my schedule to meet Martha! Now for the step by step recipe:
Smashed Heirloom Cherry Tomato and Goat Cheese Appetizer
Makes 24
- 24 Triscuit Roasted Garlic Crackers
- Heirloom cherry tomatoes (or regular cherry tomatoes)
- 8 oz log of goat cheese
- 4 tbsp chopped chives
1. Preheat oven broiler on low. Skewer cherry tomatoes and place under broiler for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
2. Mix goat cheese with chives in a small mixing bowl. Place a tablespoon of goat cheese on each Triscuit cracker.
3. After removing tomatoes from the oven, smash gently with a fork and then place one tomato on top of each Triscuit cracker.
4. Place back under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until cheese is warmed through. Serve immediately.

Mystery Euromillions winner picks up €94m cheque
THE lucky winner of last week's €94m Euromillions jackpot collected their prize money today in Dublin.
The winner becomes Ireland's 96th richest person and is choosing to keep their identity hidden, sneaking in and out of the National Lottery's city centre headquarters in Dublin to claim the prize.
The person, who wishes to remain anonymous, said to lotto officials "I'm absolutely thrilled. Dreams do come true.
"The news is still sinking in so for the moment I'd like to keep the win private. I'm looking forward to thinking about all the opportunities that are now open to me. It's a really exciting time."
The lucky winner shared the jackpot of over €187m from the draw with a player in Belgium. This is the second largest jackpot win in the history of the National Lottery, after Dolores McNamara's €115m in mid 2005. In July 2008, a €15m winning ticket was sold in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary while a €29.4m jackpot winning ticket was sold in Dublin in June 2009.
The jackpot prize had been rolling since June 7th and the National Lottery said it generated almost €5million "for good causes in Ireland".
Press Officer for the National Lottery Nuala Kane said that they "respect the wishes of the winner to keep their identity secret, but we will release the name of the winning ticket selling store at a later date".

Amy Winehouse's designs for label Fred Perry could be released posthumously.
The British clothing company had collaborated with the singer–who died suddenly on Saturday–on two successful collections and say they have three more that could be released.
Whether the garments will be made and sold, however, has yet to be decided,
as the brand is planning to approach her family for input. A spokesperson for the brand said, "Everything is on hold until we speak with Amy's family."
Amy was said to have been fully involved with her collections,
the first of which was a 50s inspired set, which included twinsets, gingham,
pencil skirts and capri pants that was released in 2010. She then collaborated on a follow up, Hawaiian-inspired collection, which was and launched in March of this year.
Richard Martin, a marketing manager from Fred Perry, told Harper's Bazaar
Amy was a "delight" to work with. He said, "Bright, passionate, and dedicated, with strong ideas of exactly what it was that she wanted from the range. Detailing, fabrics–she was all
over it."
