Report: Bridgepoint and Arizona colluded for GI Bill funds
"How can we help?" wrote an education-policy adviser of the governor
Don Bauder 5 p.m., Nov. 17
The former public relations aide to Alan Bersin during his stormy tenure as superintendent of schools here made some headlines of her own up the road in Fresno in 2007. After leaving the school district following the buyout of Bersin's contract in 2005 by a newly reconstituted board of education, Peri Lynn Turnbull did PR and fund-raising duties at High Tech High, a favorite Bersin charter school, and the local Red Cross chapter, where she had been hired by then-executive director Ronne Froman, another onetime member of Bersin's crew. Then in August of this year Turnbull abruptly surfaced as the new "chief information officer" for the Fresno Unified School District.
But the sweet terms of her contract, signed by superintendent Michael Hanson prior to school board review, set off a row similar to those Turnbull frequently encountered as Bersin's loyal lieutenant. The deal pays $125,000 a year, plus a monthly allowance of $2075 for meals, travel, lodging, and related expenses. Yet another provision allows Turnbull to work two days a week from her San Diego residence. That drew the wrath of Fresno Bee columnist Bill McEwen, who wrote that the arrangement "violates the first tenet of the public-relations practitioner's handbook: Don't become part of the story." McEwen also complained about Turnbull's monthly expense account, noting it "is more than what some families in Fresno Unified live on. Teachers paying for class supplies out of their pockets rightfully are incensed about the district's giving an administrator two grand a month." The debate came to a head at a rowdy school board meeting in October during which members of the teachers' union hurled catcalls at Hanson and board members when they tried to speak. That drew the ire of Bee editorialists, who called the heckling "shameful," though they counseled Turnbull to "make a connection to the community and not worry about whether she can make an airplane connection from San Diego." The board finally approved the contract, 5-2.

Great work and design! Really like the navigation! Very nice!
Thanks I'm glad you like.
Ready in 10 Minutes? Lol. It rying to get this template work with existing content of my photographer portfolio. After three days and trying to config with provided xml file from Bulent my site is not working.
There are no video tutorials for THIS template. Also documentation is not "Well Documented". Example: You can not use normal youtube video url like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwdr5MGUgGs but you can try to use http://www.youtube.com/v/gwdr5MGUgGs like Bulent set on one of my posts. I try this with othervideos but this dont work in any posts.
You can not set tranparancy height of video slider so if you have luck to insert a video and get this work, your customer see only the right side of this clip.
Note for other photographers: I´m not able to get this template work with slideshowpro/kimili/
This template looks very nice and clean, that´s the reason for buying. Good luck for anyone else. I give up.
Hi if you wanted any help from me, I can help any issue for you. Thanks for your comments. Also video helps coming soon I'm according them and I will put screenr ASAP for theme owners.
And I will Improve documentation but you didn't need more info everythink is transparency. If you import dummy content you need only change your own values for your website.
I didn' test slidshowpro/kimi plugin this theme but I will try it and let you know the results.
Thanks for using NewEra again.

Hi Kekock video tutors added for this theme please check the FAQ section of this item. Also did you get theme DUMMY XML file ?
Hello Bulent,
I purchased this theme a week or so ago and am having a little trouble getting it set up. Most of it has to do with being unfamiliar with wordpress probably. I would like to pre populate the site and then modify content. How can I contact you? My email is holcombpaul-@t-yahoo
Hi thnaks for using NewEra. I have sended dummy content to your email holcombpaul @ yahoo .com right ?
I have uploaded the content, but I must not have something setup correctly because it's still not displaying correctly. Thank you for your prompt responses. I have sent you a temporary login if you care to take a look.
Ok I will look at to your website ASAP .
Hi Please check your website. I have set-up your website like my demo.
Regards Bulent.
Thank you very much for your help Bulent! I sincerely appreciate your support for this theme! Everything seems to be working now – thanks again!
You're welcome. In fact its very easy. You can turn on /off from theme settings panel
You're welcome if you need any help I'm ready everytime.
Is there a way to "turn off" or disable the main large animated area below the navigation?
You can turn on /off from theme settings panel Please check theme settings named "NewEra Settings"
Thank you I found it
Hello, Thank you for the theme. I think I was the second person to purchase it and I think it looks great. However, I seem to be unable to find the simple documentation neccessary to make this a "10-minute" website. Without this, the trial and error to figure out the mapping is taking forever. When do you plan to have the documentation finished? In particular, can you walk me through the set up of the home slider as it seems I can not get any image to pull regardless of settings? Thank you for your help and for a great-looking template.
Hi I'm glad you like and thanks your purchase. I'm working on screenr help videos I will publish them first and later I will update the documentation. Maybe you can resolve your issue for cache folder 0777 permission. Give 777 permisson this folder.
Also I have added some help videos for NewEra please check FAQ section of this item.
Hi All Theme Files Updated and SCREENR Help Videos Added Please check FAQ Section for help videos.Also it_IT, ar_AR, tr_TR, de_DE, en_EN languages added in the theme (with .mo and .po files) . More languages coming soon.
Hi, I purchased your theme a couple days ago and like it overall. I am having trouble though figuring out how to have my posts display on the "front page" without having to use any of the sliders. This New Era theme is great, but it won't be used for showcasing artwork or photography. And I don't want my client to have to upload a large image (into a slider) every time they want to do a simple post. Which would make it necessary for a viewer to click on this large image (like in the Nevo Slider) to read the post. Most viewers of the blog will not know that is a necessary step to read a post. Please help.
Hi Jef thanks for usign NewEra; You can separate post categories for example:
Slider > Only slider posts will showing this category Blog > Only blog posts will showing this category
You must create a page named "Blog" and than select template.blog.php (Blog) in the custom templates.
So You will be seperate each sections.
Also you can turn off sliders if you want. Go to the theme settings and select "none" from Slider Settings.
Hi did you resolve issues ? Please let me know.

Hi, Yes, I finally got everything configured the way I want, but it took many hours. Haven't messed with the navigation rollover images yet though.
Here's the site: http://blog.shearedgehair.com/blog/
I think a feature that would be very convenient to add to this dashboard would be the ability to select an option of NOT including a "Featured Image" for a page. This should be added into the "Pages" area of the WP Dashboard. I had to go into a few Php files to extract the code which forces a user to include an image on a page. Either I'm not doing something right, or this is too difficult to do quickly for the average designer.
I also think that users should have the option to not have to define 6 navigation elements. By leaving a field blank in the Navigation section of the Newera dashboard, the result is a blank rule which automatically displays on the live site. It would be nice to define only the amount of navigation elements you need.
Very interesting and progressive WP template overall. I'm sure the more I get used to it I will learn how to fully customize it.
Thanks! Jef
Hi thanks for your interested and using NewEra. If you request XML file to me I could send sample Dummy XML file to you.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Also you can watch help vidoes at screenr.
Is there any way to get the XML dummy content? It seems like it should have been included, not sure why I have to make a special request for it. I am ripping my hair out of my head trying to figure this thing out. It's a really nice looking template, but not sure if it's worth the time.
hi please provide your email to me I will send xml file to you. also you can watch help videos for easy setup.
Can you please provide detailed instructions on how to post a video (Vimeo) in to the Slider? How exactly should the link appear, and where? I see how to do it with an image, but every time I try to insert a video tag, it change the dropdown back to image and I get the gray screen and the spinner.
I also tried putting a Vimeo tag in the homepage columns, but it just ignores it.
Hi I have update NewEra for this issues I will send updated files via email please check your email.
NewEra slider Added and now you can use any video, content, image in this slider (youtube, vimeo, external video, swf and others…)
NewEra dummy content XML file added in this version
Theme settings small bugs fixed and improved in this version
Hi, I've purchased the theme and so far has been happy with it, however I was wondering whether the theme can allow me to set up 2 different portfolios? How can I do that? I know I can have 2 different portfolio page and define categories, but once I've updated the contents into portfolio tab, everything just mixed up together and appeared on both pages. Is there a way to just separate the contents within the portfolio page?
Looking forward to your reply, thanks!
Hi you can separate them with portfolio category. And maybe you can use portfolio filtered template for this. When you have create category for the portfolio and when use the portfolio filtered template it will be separeted.
Thanks for the quick response. One more thing I've noticed is, there is no tutorial on the post page in your help files that tell us anything about the custom features on a 'post' sections? I don't really understand how to control the 'showcase' at the sidebar or the front main page. If you can help to explain what Tab Name #1, Tab Content #1 etc means it will be great. Thanks!
Hi your're welcome. showcase get ,items from post categories. You need create a category and insert a few posts and select showcase category. Than you must select showcase category from theme settings panel. Thats all. (don't forget to use featured image option the wordpress showcase images will be appear when you define a featured images for each post)
Also you can use tabs in your content you can try to check "use tab content in this content" options and enter the tab names and contents in related areas.
Thats All
Thanks Bulent, I've a suggestion, was wondering whether you can add an option in blog settings whereby you can exclude certain page/categories from appearing on the blog. Right now, those 'sliders' under main page is visible when I add in the widget for categories on the sidebar.
Please consider, thanks a lot!
Hi Thanks for your suggestions but Blog Page template filter which category you set the theme settings. (If you use blog page template and you have defined blog category in theme settings its xeclude others.)
I didn't understand your second question? Sorry.
Hi Bulent. Just purchased this New Era theme for it's great look. But whatever I try. It's impossible to get it to work. How do you get the sliders images in? Why is that so complicated?? I'd appreciate some help by mailing my the XML demo file or some assistance through the mail. I'm no beginner in building websites (I am new at WordPress) but the logics in building anything with your theme seems very complicated.
I'm quite desperate after days and hours and hours of trying. It's hopeless.
Help please!!!!
Michel / The Netherlands
Hi thanks for using NewEra; if you send me your clear wp installation login info I can import sample XML file to your wp. Also now the themeforest NewEra zip package included XML file. You can download fresh copy and get this file or I can send this file via email. Please contact to me via email at profile page.
Solutions and XML file sended to you via email.

Something Positive to saySubmitted by chuckdavies on January 17, 2009 - 10:55
Enough Negativity... The Lightning want Vinny to play like a 8.5 million $ player. He should be the leader and make a huge difference. I believe he is starting to. The big difference in this team is coaching... it is like having a coach with a player's insight with no forward playing over 20, and none less than 10. Arty makes the biggest difference up front. We need a rugged (feared) blue liner... Smaby maybe? Great Goaltender (except shootouts) Faster team; more heart!

Tyrell signed....Submitted by SJR1709 on December 11, 2008 - 13:51
I just saw that TSN.ca is reporting that the bolts have signed prospect Dana Tyrell to a standard three year entry level contract. It's good to see this. There aren't too many talented prospects in Tampa's system so it's good to get one of the ones that are there locked up. Let the youth play since the vets aren't doing much. Hopefully they'll follow this and sign Fadden. We'll see.

Wait a minute....Submitted by SJR1709 on October 14, 2008 - 04:58
So, someone please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we (Tampa) have the worst overall record in the league last year? Yes, sadly I do believe we did. With that said though that should give Tampa the first crack at players that are put on waivers from other teams around the league. With that said, how in the world could the Tampa brass have passed on claiming a talented young D-man like Kyle Quincy who was put on waivers by the Wings and picked up by the LA Kings. Quincy who has been hidden in the Wings system for a while now was a numbers casualty in their system.

O'Brien and Ouellet Traded to VancouverSubmitted by TheNingDynasty on October 6, 2008 - 12:27
As reported on 620 WDAE and now TSN.ca the Lightning have traded away Shane O'Brien and Michel Ouellet for D Lukas Krajicek and RW Juraj Simek.
Ouellet will be reporting to Manitoba and O'Brien to Vancouver.
I would assume Krajicek will report to Tampa and Simek to Norfolk but no official word on that.

Bolts get MeszarosSubmitted by SJR1709 on August 29, 2008 - 18:57
TSN.ca is reporting that Ottawa has traded Andre Meszaros to Tampa Bay for Kuba, Picard, and the 1st round pick they got from San Jose. While picking up franchise D-Man like Meszaros is a great pick up, I don't understand why some of the extra forwards Tampa has weren't involved instead. I'm not upset about giving up the 1st round pick or Kuba, but Picard is a young guy who came in here and turned some heads at the end of last year. I was looking forward to seeing him progress and develop in our system.

Uneasy AnticipationSubmitted by pete on August 9, 2008 - 19:50
After a flurry of activity earlier this summer, the Lightning's offseason has finally slowed down. So, I think this is a good time to take stock of everything that has happened so far. There has never been a time in Lightning history where both the roster, the coaching staff, and front office of this franchise has changed so dramatically. The incredible multi-dimensional makeover of the Tampa Bay Lightning has rightfully generated a lot of interest in the upcoming season, and a lot of credit has to be given to OK Hockey on that account. It's not always easy to generate a significant buzz for a team that finished dead last in the NHL last season, and it's a credit to this group's salesmanship that the trade of two of four members of the ex "Fantastick Four" (Brad Richards and Dan Boyle) hasn't been accompanied with a sense of doom in the fan base.
That said, I think anyone with unbridled optimism for the Lightning this coming season needs to ratchet down expectations to a more reasonable level. The simple truth is that OK Hockey has made several risky moves and the outcome of those moves won't be known for months. What we should all be left with, I think, is what I would deem an "uneasy anticipation" for the coming season.

The former secretariat of the network reinvents itself as an independent tracking, campaigning and NGO support organisation, working closely not only with many of its former members but also with many new working partners on a range of campaigns
- At the end of 2014 we conduct an extensive internal discussion with our membership on how BankTrack can best adapt itself to changing circumstances in both funder support and changing NGO cooperation habits; the result is a plan, BankTrack 2015, that sets out a new course for the future

- In September we launched a new website, www.coalbanks.org, exposing the role of private sector banks financing the coal industry

- In January BankTrack holds a strategy meeting in Zurich, Switzerland.
- Also in January BankTrack launches an open letter, signed by over 100 civil society organizations, urging Equator Principles banks to take 'bold steps forward'.

- The Quantum Leap project merges with the Netherlands based Focus on Finance (FoF) research project, coordinated by Dutch consultant firm AIDEnvironment.
- In October, a meeting of finance campaigners in the Netherlands takes place. The Focus on Finance project is remodelled as an NGO network with an advocacy mission. FoF hires a full time coordinator to oversee development of this network.

The project's newsletter 'The Bull and the Bear' informs the financial sector on civil society concerns.
- US activists realised there was a need to focus on private financial institutions within international development operations, in addition to work on IFIs such as the World Bank.

The movement to optimize learning outcomes via innovative teaching methods can take on all different shapes and sizes, and the media's recent reporting about education innovation reflects that reality.
Over the weekend, the Associated Press published a feature-length article, "From recession's wake, education innovation blooms," that explained how new strategies like Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) could redefine education on a global scale. Associated Press reporter Justin Pope wrote, "What does this (ongoing) wave of educational innovation entail? To be sure, it includes the MOOCs and all sorts of 'adaptive learning' software that promises to teach and measure some things better and more cheaply than a human teacher. But in some ways, the innovation is broader than the technology itself, which many call cool but not yet revolutionary. It's what the technology is doing — breaking down higher education across two dimensions: time and distance."
(The New Yorker thoroughly dissected the pros and cons of MOOCs in the May 2013 article "Laptop U": "Many people think that MOOCs are the future of higher education in America. In the past two years, Harvard, M.I.T., Caltech, and the University of Texas have together pledged tens of millions of dollars to MOOC development. Many other élite schools, from U.C. Berkeley to Princeton, have similarly climbed aboard. But MOOCs are controversial, and debate has grown louder.")
On Friday, the British publication The Guardian published a piece, "Social enterprises aid innovation in education," that examined how education innovation can take root on a much more local level.
"A new breed of innovative social enterprises are emerging that can help on both counts," Tim Smedley wrote for The Guardian. "New technology is an area that is arguably easier for a small social enterprise to innovate than an entire school or local authority. As well as offering something to schools that they are unlikely to be able to produce internally, (entrepreneur and former teacher Julia) Bateson believes the work she and other social enterprises are doing are pointing towards a new model within education. 'I see the future as being one of partnerships developed between schools and social entrepreneurs. If social entrepreneurial partnerships are to flourish to the benefit of children and their families two things must happen: social entrepreneurs must clearly demonstrate their social impact and schools are going to have to spend.' "
In terms of local thinking about education innovation in the United States, last week the North Idaho Business Journal reported about recommendations from Idaho Business for Education ("a statewide think tank of sorts") about how higher education can better prepare college graduates with the technical skills businesses value in new hires.Comment on this story
Writing for the North Idaho Business Journal, Sholeh Patrick reported that Idaho Business for Education "has adopted a mantra: the U.S. needs to refocus education on skills and application, rather than the old pure knowledge model of memorize-and-regurgitate. Grade rewards create far less innovation and critical thinking than do rewards for curiosity and innovation. That breeds passion and passion breeds purpose. Parents/teachers of innovators encouraged children to play and learn in more exploratory ways."

About 50 people attended a town hall meeting in Albert Lea tonight, to talk about alleged abuse of residents at Good Samaritan Society nursing home.
Several people say they are saddened by the situation, including Jan Reshatar, the daughter-in-law of one of the alleged victims.
Reshatar says abuse should be the last thing families have to worry about. She says her family will keep her mother in-law at Good Samaritan, because most of the staff are excellent.
The allegations center on six nursing assistants, who allegedly spit in the mouths of residents with dementia, poked their breasts and touched their genitals. Two female aides now face criminal abuse and assault charges; four others were charged as juveniles for not reporting the alleged abuse.

Conference Catchup: Pitino's Cards are The American favorites
Things are, as May winds down and June approaches, mostly settled in college basketball. We now know who will be coaching where. We now know who will be playing where. So this seems like as good of a time as any to reset everything and get caught up on all of the notable leagues. That's the idea behind the CBSSports.com Conference Catchups.
Things are, as May winds down and June approaches, now mostly settled in college basketball. We basically know who will be coaching where. We basically know who will be playing where. So this seems like as good of a time as any to reset everything and get caught up on all of the notable leagues.
That's the idea behind the CBSSports.com Conference Catchups.
We'll post one every other day for the next four weeks.
We'll post them in alphabetical order.
We'll start with The American.
1. Russ Smith returned to school despite his father's proclamation: Everybody assumed Louisville's star guard would enter the NBA Draft after helping the Cardinals to a national title because Smith's father said Louisville's star guard would enter the NBA Draft after helping the Cardinals to a national title. But at some point, the likely Preseason American Athletic Conference Player of the Year realized he would almost certainly be a second-round pick, at best, and decided to return to school for a final season. That development will give the Cards a shot at a third straight Final Four and second straight national championship.
2. Rutgers hired a coach without a college degree: No athletic department has been embarrassed more times over the past two months than Rutgers' athletic department, which continues to bungle situations in a spectacular way. Among the bungles was hiring Eddie Jordan to replace Mike Rice and calling him a "Rutgers graduate" despite the fact that Jordan is not a graduate of Rutgers. Or anywhere else, for that matter. Is this a big deal? No, not really; it's not like Jordan will be teaching calculus. But it's an example of this institution making a hire without properly vetting a candidate's background, and that's not something that should've happened under this microscope.
3. Josh Pastner got paid: Memphis won its first NCAA tournament game of the Pastner era in March. So everybody knew Pastner would get a raise and contract extension this offseason. The only question was for how much and for how long. Here's for how much and for how long: Sevens years at $2.65 million per year. That's a raise of nearly $1 million per year, and it should end any and all speculation about Pastner coaching at another school anytime soon because only about 10 schools in the country are currently paying a men's basketball coach more than Memphis is currently paying it's men's basketball coach. Among those that pay less (according to USA Today): North Carolina and Syracuse, meaning Pastner makes more money coaching than Hall of Famers Roy Williams and Jim Boeheim.
4. Rick Pitino made good on a bet, got a tattoo: Speaking of Hall of Famers, the Louisville coach promised his players that he'd get a tattoo if the Cardinals won a national title, and Pitino, to his credit, made good on that bet. He got a tattoo last month ... of an "L" on his back shoulder. Personally, I was rooting for a neck tattoo because I think neck tattoos are hilarious. Maybe next time.
Where will the first American Athletic Conference Tournament be held? The American still hasn't announced where it'll play its inaugural tournament, though FedExForum in Memphis is considered the leading candidate. If that happens, the Tigers will have an undeniable advantage considering they've won the past five league tournaments that've been played in the downtown arena that doubles as their home court.
- Could've gone and did: Gorgui Dieng (Louisville), Adonis Thomas (Memphis)
- Could've gone but stayed: Montrezl Harrell (Louisville), Joe Jackson (Memphis), Shabazz Napier (Connecticut), Russ Smith (Louisville)
- Coming: Lasan Kromah (George Washington to Connecticut), Jesse Morgan (UMass to Temple), Kerwin Okoro (Iowa State to Rutgers), David Pellom (George Washington to Memphis), Rodney Purvis (North Carolina State to Connecticut)
- Going: Antonio Barton (Memphis to Tennessee), Tarik Black (Memphis to Kansas), Eli Carter (Rutgers to Florida), Rod Days (UCF to TBD), Jordan Dickerson (SMU to TBD), Vincent Garrett (Rutgers to TBD), Blaise Mbargorba (SMU to TBD), Uche Ofoegbu (SMU to TBD), Mike Poole (Rutgers to Iona), Derrick Randall (Rutgers to TBD), Jerome Seagears (Rutgers to Auburn), J.J. Thompson (Houston to TBD)
Cincinnati: Sean Kilpatrick is the best player left off the Preseason All-Conference Team below. But he could make the postseason team while leading UC.
Connecticut: The top seven scorers return from last season, including Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright. Kevin Ollie has UConn in really good shape.
Houston: James Dickey returns three double-digit scorers from a team with 20 wins. That sounds good. But don't forget that team also had 13 losses.
Louisville: Hilarious how some folks thought Rick Pitino was done a few years back. He's now made consecutive Finals Fours. Another is likely on deck.
Memphis: Three senior guards (Joe Jackson, Chris Crawford and Geron Johnson) should make the Tigers solid as they transition into a tougher league.
Rutgers: The Scarlet Knights' one year in The American should feature lots of losses -- much like last year in the Big East and next year in the Big Ten.
SMU: Larry Brown's rebuilding project took a hit Wednesday when assistant/ace recruiter Jerrance Howard left SMU to work for Bill Self at Kansas.
South Florida: The good news for USF is that The American won't be as tough as the Big East. The bad news is that it'll still be too tough for USF's roster.
Temple: The Owls will be solid because they're always solid under Fran Dunphy. But it'll be difficult to replace Khalif Wyatt and all those points.
UCF: The best unknown player in The American will be UCF's Isaiah Sykes. He averaged 16.0 points and 7.5 rebounds for the Knights last season.
- Louisville
- Memphis
- Connecticut
- Cincinnati
- Temple
- G: Joe Jackson (Memphis)
- G: Shabazz Napier (Connecticut)
- G: Russ Smith (Louisville)
- F: Chane Behanan (Louisville)
- F: Montrezl Harrel (Louisville)
Final Thought: The American Athletic Conference won't be as good as the Big East was last season, and the American Athletic Conference won't be as good next season as it will be this season because Louisville will, after just one year, transition into the ACC. Let's be clear about both of those things. But this should still be a compelling basketball league.
Cincinnati, Connecticut, Memphis and Temple provide a nice core.
SMU, Houston and UCF have potential.
So while nobody will ever confuse the American Athletic Conference with the Big Ten or the Big 12, I'd be careful about totally dismissing what's possible here. Commissioner Mike Aresco is a thoughtful and smart man. He's in the process of securing a nice television spot for his tournament title game, and his best programs will be on TV a lot.
Needless to say, there's no guarantee The American will remain stable.
Cincinnati and Connecticut could be poached someday.
But for now, this conference seems solid.
It's a league worth following.

Wow! Ava Rose is all about what a bridal shop should be. From the moment I spoke with Bernie on the phone to the moment I ordered my dress, I was made to feel special and like I was the only person they had ever sold a dress to.
Having visited many places looking for the perfect dress, I was amazed by the number of shops who had absololoutely no idea how to look after customers and even more important, no idea about brides.
This experience completely changed when I found Ava Rose. The boutique is beautifully designed with an array of dresses from all different designers. It has a touch of class and elegance. The staff are well groomed and professional but most of all they are passionate about what they do and pride themselves on the care an attention they provide to their clients.
I visited the boutique with my Mum and Dad on a designer weekend. Prior to the event I spoke with the boutique to let them know there was a particular dress I was interested in, I made the appointment and they said they would look to arrange to have that dress on the day. 10 minutes later they called me back to tell me to have a look at their site and let them know if there were any other dresses from that designer range as they would try to get them for me.
A week before my appointment I received a call confirming that they had managed to secure the main dress I wanted and they should have the others on the day which indeed they did.
Bernie looked after us extremely well and was very professional. The shop is about an hours drive from where I live and i could actually get that same dress from a store 10 minutes from where' I live. However having visited both, I know that the service I will receive from Ava Rose will be far superior to anyone else.
Thank you girls, my dreams of that magical experience of wedding dress shopping came true one Saturday 10th August.
I can't wait for my fittings!!!!

MS patients in Commons protest
More than a thousand multiple sclerosis sufferers lobbied their MPs at Parliament on Wednesday to demand access to the best treatments.
Their main concern is the future of the controversial drug beta-interferon, which has been proven to help some MS patients.
This is available in some parts of the country, but not in others - and MS charities fear further restrictions.
A poll commissioned by charity the MS Society suggested that nine out of 10 neurologists wanted to be able to prescribe the drug.
But many sufferers say that they also struggle to receive specialist nursing care, physiotherapy, pain control treatment and respite care.
Peter Cardy, chief executive of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, said it was the first mass lobby of Parliament ever staged by people with MS.
"The large number reflects anger and frustration across the country at inadequate levels of healthcare.
"People with MS wonder if the government actually thinks they are worth treating."
Multiple Sclerosis is a progressively disabling condition in which the delicate nerves in patients' spinal cords are left unprotected, and become damaged.
Only treatment
Beta-interferon is the only drug which has been shown to slow the progression of the illness in certain types of patient.
Those taking the drug still become more disabled, but the rate of decline is less.
However, some health authorities refuse to fund it because they believe it is not effective enough to justify a price tag of many thousands of pounds a year per patient.
A new government advisory body, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, is currently examining the arguments for and against beta-interferon, and will either recommend it is funded nationwide, or not at all.
Its role is to balance clinical effectiveness against cost - but it has pledged to take into account all the wider economic costs and savings involved in treating MS patients.
For example, if treating an MS patient with the drug stopped him or her becoming wheelchair-bound for an extra year, then the extra cost of care - and any loss of productivity to the economy would be measured.

Today is National Stress Awareness Day, and when better than the day after the dreaded Tax Day. But if you're like many marketers, getting your taxes done is not the only thing that stresses you out.
Creating content is not an easy endeavour – trust me, I know. Creating quality content is continually a challenge for marketers, with lack of time cited as the top challenge for B2B marketers (according to the Content Marketing Institute). White papers are no exception to this, as they can be time-intensive to create.

U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers this week denied Hovind's motion to lift travel restrictions pending his Sept. 5 trial on 58 federal charges that include evading nearly $470,000 in employee taxes.
Hovind, who calls himself "Dr. Dino," operates Dinosaur Adventure Land, a theme park on North Palafox Street dedicated to creationism.
He believes evolution is a religion and says man did not evolve from dinosaurs but, rather, lived alongside them.
According to the IRS,501 c-3 Christian churches, ministries, and organizations may not: Expose conspiracies.Criticize the New World Order. .Criticize government agencies and bureausCriticize an institution of government such as the White House, the Congress, the Federal Reserve Board, or the Supreme Court.Criticize any proposed or pending bill or legislation that would take away the rights and freedoms of the people.Support or encourage a law-abiding citizen's militia.Support or encourage the Second Amendment, the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Address homosexual rights or the pushing of a sodomite agenda in schools Appeal to peoples' emotions by employing an evangelization method such as "fire and brimstone" preaching) Discuss or identify threats to Christianity.Criticize the civil powers of the the Vatican United Nations or Council on Foreign RelationsHighlight or otherwise bring attention to immorality of public officials or corruption in government.Complain of government persecution ,such as happened at Waco, Ruby Ridge, and elsewhere
Isa 59:14 - And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Do you not think this ODD ?
Kent Hovind has taken on massively endowed tax funded universities and put them to an open and public shame.
Did you really think that there would not be repercussions from this?
So easy to believe and pass on all you read without fully hearing and understanding both sides of the matter.
But remember while you rejoice in joyous exaltation over the destruction of Kent Hovind that next that article written may be about YOU , Christian . And the right of Habeus Corpus is GONE.
While we wander about from house to house speaking what we ought not about Hovind needing to render unto Caesar maybe first dear Christian you may want to look within..and look at your own cushy tax situation.
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. 501 C-3 is SIN.
Lord said there would be a coin in the fishes mouth and too many ministers mouths today are guided by their HEAD the state. For tax exempt dainties they sell out Christ.
Not only this but now the ravenous pack runs to bash the poor man who had courage..stood up to the task and did the job. Shame!
2Thessalonians 3 6. Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.1Corinthians 5 11 But now I have written to you, if any one called brother be fornicator, or avaricious, or idolater, or abusive, or a drunkard, or rapacious, not to mix with [him]; with such a one not even to eat.2Timothy 3 5 having a form of piety but denying the power of it: and from these turn away.
He needs to know how to render unto Caesar.

ATI's Mid-Range monster
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 6, 2006 - 02:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
LOSTCIRCUITS has tested ATI's current mid-range card, the x1600 Pro, offered in an AGP flavour. If you are still putting off that total systems upgrade for a bit, but find yourself barely able to play some of the newer titles with any bells or whistles enabled, this card might give your PC a new lease on lfe.
"In the middle of ATI's current GPU lineup is the X1600 series, based on the R530 GPU and
described by ATI as the "Absolute in Mainstream Gaming Performance". On paper, the specs look
quite impressive for a card in the US$120-150 price range, moreover, AGP versions are available
for those who want an inexpensive experience of SM3.0 goodness. All of this and even a game bundle
is consolidated in the cornucopia described as X1600 series."

One pants leg rolled up = drugs?
So today, like most cold days, I wore jeans to school. My commute is only 5 miles so I dont bother changing clothes or wearing bike shorts. I just roll the right leg of my pants up to keep it out of the chainring, throw on a tshirt and hoodie, grab my windbreaker and hit the road.
I used to feel awkward having one pants leg rolled up and would unroll it the moment I arrived anywhere. I felt like it looked dumb, especially with long socks. Recently I embraced it. I roll it up one time in the morning, with three perfect rolls, and it stays that way till it hits the laundry hamper that night.
Today was weird though. I had three people approach me and say some puzzling things.
First girl said, "Yo I dig the style, keepin' it oldschool!" Then tried to invite me to a poetry jam.
I shrugged it off. I had no idea what was oldschool about my typical, jeans and a hoodie, outfit.
The next guy asked, "what chu want?"
I had no idea what he was talking about because I hadn't even made eye contact with him before he said it. I guess he saw the puzzled look on my face because he just turned and walked away.
The last guy said something about LL cool J but I ignored him because I was doing homework.
After a while I figured out it had to be about the pants leg. That was the only thing setting me and any other student apart. So, I google "one pants leg rolled up" and get lots of stuff talking about hip hop fashion, drug buying/selling, and gang affiliation.
Its so weird because I don't remember this fad. Maybe I'm just too white, but the three people who noticed didn't act like it was weird for me to be doing. I have always associated pants leg rolling with trying not to damage your pants... Roll'em up if they're too long, on a bike, walking barfoot in the surf on the beach...
Either way, I think im going to own it. Maybe the trend will catch on, and with it the cycling bug. :D After all, more cyclist begets more awearness begets safer streets for riding!
Just be careful if you roll'em up in a sketchy neighborhood. You might get mistaken for a gangbanger and get shot at!
Enjoy the spring weather and remember rule#9 everyone!
--Richard 'Ratchet' Boatwright
When it's cold I wear long wool socks and I just tuck my jeans into the socks, looks weird but it works and keeps the draft out. As for leaving it like that all day. I wouldn't, nor would I leave one pant leg rolled up.
I roll up both legs, because the asymmetry bothers me if I only do one.
Yeah, I remember that trend. It was quite popular at my urban, culturally diverse high school in the mid 90s.
There's obviously pragmatic reasons to roll up your pant leg while riding a bike. Without the bike, I, too, would probably conclude somebody doing this was a fan of oldschool hip hop (hence LL Cool J and an invitation to bust a rhyme).
Please just don't start riding in Hammerpants.
Velcro ankle strap or pant clip = dorky
So you didn't hook up w/ poetry jam girl?
* Doing it wrong.
I must thank you OP for the laugh this thread was good. I gotta say though no one was too white to remember that fad...
Yeah, I remember hearing back in the 90s that rolling up the right leg meant you were buying, left leg selling. I didn't think it was still around though.
I roll up my right leg too. Usually roll it back down sometime during the day. If I remember. Never knew it was a fad. The clips & velcro strips would fall off. Or I couldn't find 'em. Used dirty bandanas for a while but the chain & sprockets would chew holes in them. Rolling it up is the easiest, cheapest solution. Don't care if it looks dorky or not.
Say what you will about skinny jeans, but this is one area where they are superior....no rolling or ankle straps necessary.
I prefer being barefoot, but if I must wear shoes (at work or on the bike) I prefer ankle or no-show socks. So if I hop on the bike to run an errand during lunch, lately I've been doing this. :D
If I would get rid of my blasted wide-leg jeans that I used to always wear back in the day, I wouldn't have this problem. I don't have to do this on my slimmer-fitting jeans.
I remember when rolled pant legs were cool Daddy-O...:)
Along with Jack boots,Triumph motorcycles,wimp haircuts,Edsels and Poodle skirts......Ect. ect......I'm guessing he DIDN'T shave his legs though....:)
I roll my pant leg up and only roll it down when I'm done riding. The spd shoes are a dead giveaway as to why my right pant leg is rolled up though Lmfao
How old are you, man? ;) They were making fun of you.
Like you said, it felt dorky until I got used to it. I was aware of this one leg rolled up code, though not what it meant, but I figured the rest of my whitebread appearance would cancel that out. Also, are people still doing this? My experience with it was NYC in the mid-nineties.
It was fun messing with people at my office who asked about it when I started commuting by bike. Told one that I had an ankle infection I needed to air out, and another that my shin was easily overheated. Both nodded and said something about knowing how that was.
P.S. My profile block on the left says I'm a senior member. Didn't I join a month ago?
Not to be confused with a Firesign Theatre skit: "Roll up your arm and bend over. Do you want regular or premium?"

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Lawn Mowing' started by dmar62, Jul 31, 2012.
Anyone ever thought about or has a way to charge your phone off of mower battery.
A 12 volt female adapter is all you need. Hook it directly to the battery or off the hot side of the ignition.
Use a waterproof Marine grade version that has a cover for the hole.
Oh, and only use one that has an inline fuse
Thanks that sounds good. Will try it out.
I did this to my JD LT 155 to power a CB Radio/Strobe. use a 12 volt plug like the ones in a car and wire directly to battery. prob work with other mowers with electric start too. and if you need more plugs, buy one of these http://www.roadproonthego.com/store...igarette-Lighter-Adapter-with-Short-Cord.aspx
Bobcat Procat and Predator Pros have been coming with them for a few years at least now. Not sure if the Fastcats have them or not.
I can't see the need to charge my cell phone while mowing. It can sit in the truck as it always does and charge off the truck battery. Wasn't there a thread showing a busted up phone that a guy ran over with his mower? That's why I always keep it and anything else I might carry in my pockets, in the truck while on a mower.
How do I keep my phone and other stuff in my truck from being stolen while on the mower out of sight? I have a Ford truck with keyless entry. Well it was hot out so I didn't have the windows all the way up. All I had with me in my pocket was the keyless entry "clicker". Well wouldn't you know, I ride over to the truck for a quick drink and it's not in my pocket. I had to use a stick to go through the opened (maybe an inch) window and hit the unlock button. I'm sure glad I didn't put the windows up all the way. I got really lucky when I was mowing the next week, I just happened to look in the right spot and sure enough, there it was, never ran over it or nothing. Now I use a neck strap and it hangs on that.
One other time I "thought" the keyless entry button worked with the truck running. Wrong, I locked the dang truck with the keys in it running with the a/c going so it would be nice and cool when I was finished. I never knew the key pad didn't work when the truck key is in the "on" position. Had to wait an hour for the wife to drive to the job with the spare key. The good, it was like a freezer in there by the time she got there. LOL

Father Christmas' sack won't be full of dolls houses or train sets this Christmas. And the elves have certainly got their work cut out this winter.
Because according to a new survey, children as young as five say what they really want for Christmas is an iPhone, an IPad or a IPod.
While parents want to buy their kids more traditional toys, like dolls and Scaletrix sets, gadgets have well and truly taken over from traditional Christmas presents, says the latest Toy Report from Duracell. The top ten most wanted this Christmas includes Microsoft's new hands-free Kinect motion controller for Xbox, the PlayStation Move controller and the Flip HD video camera.Even well-known toys appear on the list only in digital form, with the Lego Harry Potter Video game and The Barbie Video Girl, which is a video camera set inside a Barbie doll.
Top of the list for boys is the IPhone 4, while girls hanker after an iPod Touch. The IPad comes second on both boys and girls' lists, with Toy Story 3 Jet Pack Buzz Lightyear and Zhu Zhu/Kung Zhu Hamsters also making an appearance in the top five.
The new study also reveals that children now receive twice as many Christmas presents at Christmas as their parents did at the same age.

Health Food With a Side of Pretension Makes Me Sick
I am lucky to have enough time and resources to not completely give up on nutrition. I do what I can. But the bar for healthy eating is set so high that ordinary, working people cannot realistically reach it, you're doing everybody a disservice. When things like the Canada Food Guide are vilified for including too many refined grains and not enough vegetables, for not going far enough, then those people who only ever get a fraction of the recommended veggie intake tend to give up altogether. Most people want to be healthy. They want to eat well. They also want to know the little bit that they can do counts. Guys, it's just food. And we are damned lucky to have enough of it.

Alpha Protocol - Review Flood #1
The Alpha Protocol review avalanche has hit and it's a ridiculously mixed bag. The scores and opinions are contradictory (even on the same issues), although "unpolished" is a common theme. I'm going to break out some bigger reviews and line list the rest. Note that most of these are console reviews.
Eurogamer has what reads as a balanced article, with a score of 7/10. They say they weren't impressed at two hours but really enjoyed the game at eight hours. Here's a snip:
As the cast list expands and the action abilities opened up by the levelling process become increasingly cartoony - two favourite unlocks are an evasion skill which allows you to go unnoticed for a few seconds even if you absolutely blow your cover, and a temporary shotgun boost that lets you knock down enemies as you hit them - Alpha Protocol starts to come to terms with itself as a slightly tongue-in-cheek enterprise. Helpfully, the script has plenty of classy moments, both in terms of the cut-scenes and the text, if you're willing to plough through the emails you'll constantly receive from both friends and enemies. Even the action, formed from pieces which are only really second-rate by themselves, eventually comes together into something that tugs you forward with surprising insistence.
And while it's a linear adventure at heart, the game takes its commitment to player choice fairly seriously. It offers plenty of moments where you have control over the big things - who lives, who dies, who becomes an ally and who becomes a boss battle - as well as the little things, like how your approach to a mission changes what your handler thinks of you.
VideoGamer says AP "plays like a sub-standard third-person shooter" but it's still "more enjoyable than it should be". Graphical issues, texture pop-in, frame-rate and other issues hit hard and the score is 6/10:
Despite borrowing the mechanic from BioWare, the dialogue system happens to be one of the game's strongest assets. Obsidian is well known for its talents in the dialogue department (KOTOR2 being a shining example) and Alpha Protocol has been treated with the same care and attention. How you decide to react to different situations determines what missions you're given and what characters you're likely to encounter. Supporting this branching narrative is an impressive 30+ endings, and the mid sections will differ dramatically from game to game, too. To see everything the game has on offer will take a serious investment of time. [...]
Thorton's mission is orchestrated out of several safe houses acting as the hub for real world locations including Tai Pei, Rome and Moscow. As far as spy-pads go, these safe houses are pretty swanky, offering services to check email, change weapon load-outs and even watch the news. It's the kind of place you imagine James Bond chilling out with a Martini before a mission. This is one thing that Alpha Protocol does reasonably well: it makes you feel like an undercover agent. Whether you're flipping through enemy dossiers on your PDA, catching up on new emails or tinkering with your equipment – you'll feel suitably like an employee of the secret services.
1Up says 'B+', which is a certainly a decent score. They describe the action as competent but are really taken with the dialogues and choices. The article uses a spoiler as an example (be warned), so here's a quote straight after a situation that impressed the writer:
I like this sort of thing. It's always left me a little bit dismayed that the modern definition of a role playing game has been "pretty much any other kind of game, except with a lot more numbers in it." Alpha Protocol has XP and skills to level up and whatnot, but the dialogue is what has me paying attention. I don't have a lot of patience for cut-scenes, but cut-scenes where at any second I may have to make a snap decision that will determine how a good chunk of the rest of the game plays out, as well as how other characters will relate to me? That's the textbook definition of roleplaying, which doesn't enter into games all that often, and almost never in a context that doesn't involve elves.
Going to to the other end of the scale, Destructoid hated everything and the score is a brutal 2/10:
The game is supposedly able to be played one of three ways -- using stealth, using brute force, and using gadgets. Stealth is no good because the enemy AI is so unpredictable and spotty, not to mention the useless camera and poor graphics make spotting enemies ahead of time difficult, and the complete lack of hiding places negates the idea of sneaking around. The gadgets are a cool idea, but nothing too innovative, and playing strictly as a gadget-based character mostly means throwing grenades around. That leaves you with a combat-oriented character, but combat is so crap that it's not really very fun.
It seems as if Obsidian tried to mix RPG combat with real-time shooting action, and it doesn't really work (what a surprise!). All it means is that sometimes the guns will miss even if the reticule is dead on target. You can stay still and watch the reticule close in an enemy for a critical shot, but the opponents are running around like the aforementioned decapitated poultry, so good luck with that. Steadying one's aim is next to impossible with the insane characters who are either running towards you, running in circles, or running nowhere, with Thorton stuck in the middle of this chimp's tea party surrounded by grenade spam and broken cover systems.
More middle-ish ground, with GameSpot finally posting their 6/10 review. As noted yesterday, they describe "astounding intricacies" but "clumsy gameplay mechanics":
Playing Alpha Protocol is like putting together a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle with 500 pieces missing: You get a sense of what the big picture should have been, but the final product is still maddeningly incomplete. This intriguing role-playing game boasts an extraordinarily flexible plot, in which your choices have real consequences both on the story and on the gameplay. Sadly, almost every other element has been skimped upon, resulting in an awkward amalgam of half-baked gameplay elements that never come together. On paper, Alpha Protocol sounds thrilling: You can go into each mission guns blazing, sneak up on your enemies to take them down before they see you coming, or mix and match methods as you see fit all while hacking computers and picking locks to uncover the enemies' deepest secrets. In practice, none of these mechanics work out very well. Terrible AI, a too-close camera angle, and other annoying inconsistencies make the stealth route feel random and unsatisfying. These issues, along with the unreliable cover system and a number of bugs and weapon imbalances, make shooting feel equally clumsy. It's easy to appreciate Alpha Protocol for its high ambitions; it's just not that much fun to play it.
Let's take a higher one, with NowGamer scoring 8.1/10:
What sets it apart is the time limit: every answer must be given and every decision made in little more than five seconds. It doesn't sound like much, but it invests almost every discussion with a heightened sense of drama. If you missed something through not paying the game your full attention there's simply no time to recall the details, and if you don't make the call, the game will make it for you. That's one thing when you're only deciding if Thorton should make a lewd comment to a beautiful investigative journalist, but quite another when you're asked to choose between saving a friend's life or disarming a bomb that will kill dozens of innocent people. Alpha Protocol is short for an RPG, but it boasts a disarming number of no-win situations that can radically alter the path of the game.
On a personal level, things are no less complicated. Obsidian might have taken inspiration from Mass Effect for its conversations, but the way other characters form opinions on Thorton is more granular than Bioware's blunt paragon/renegade split. The way he responds to someone - in person or through the game's well realised e-mail system - will effect how much they like or trust him, allowing you to choose Thorton's allies and enemies on an individual basis.
- CVG - 8.4/10 (reprinted Gamemaster review)
- Joystiq - "structurally flawed", a "technical nightmare"
- Official Xbox 360 Magazine - 7/10

In an article revealing that Seth Grahame-Smith (of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" fame (or infamy, depending on your perspective)) has recently done a polish on the current "Fantastic Four" script, THR also reveals Fox's current approach to the superhero property.
Or at least, what someone told them the approach is going to be.
Sources say that the new reboot is taking a grounded superhero and sci-fi approach to the heroes and will tap deep into the comics mythology, which featured not just the better-known villains such as Doctor Doom and Galactus but also alien races the Kree and the Skrull, and the anti-matter universe known as the Negative Zone.
I honestly don't know how the word "grounded" can even be mentioned in an article about the Fantastic Four. You know, the one where one guy turns into a rock, one turns into fire, another can stretch his body, and the girl becomes invisible. How do you "ground" that kind of premise?
Then again, I guess anything not involving Jessica Alba playing a scientist should give this new version of "Fantastic Four" about 500 times more believability.
In any case, "Chronicle" director Josh Trank is currently set to direct the film, with Matthew Vaughn recently announced as producing, whatever that means.

What are you doing this summer? Most of my family's time will be spent in St. Augustine visiting area beaches and sites — and I'll be writing about our experiences.
This is third year of the Summer Staycation series for Compass, and as in the past, my three girls will be coming along with me to explore our city and county.
We plan to visit Crescent Beach, Cap's on the Water past Vilano Beach, other local eateries, parks and museums, historic sites, art galleries and plenty of places that offer free admission to residents.
We also will seek out interactive spots for my older children, ages 9 and 6. At places that charge admission, I will ask if there is a discount for St. Johns County or Florida residents. I like to save money where ever possible.
We will take picnics, scarf down ice cream from our favorite shops (on the extremely hot days), and most of all, enjoy our time together in this wonderful place we call home — St. Augustine!
Here's to St. Johns County and all it has to offer; our little slice of Florida heaven.
Please let me know if you have new ideas and places for us to visit this year. Email firstname.lastname@example.com.

DEFINITION of 'HUF (Hungarian Forint)'
The currency abbreviation or currency symbol for the Hungarian forint (HUF), the currency for Hungary. The forint is made up of 100 filler and is often presented with the symbol Ft. The forint gets its name from gold coins called fiorino d'oro, which were minted in the city of Florence in the middle ages.
BREAKING DOWN 'HUF (Hungarian Forint)'
The forint was first seen with its present name in Hungary in 1325. This currency was used throughout the middle ages and the Renaissance, emerging as the currency used by the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was discontinued after World War I and then reactivated in 1946 by the Hungarian Communist Party. The future of the forint is uncertain, as it may be wholly replaced by the euro after 2012.

Summary:I've used this thing for just about all my outdoor activities from a casual walk to hiking to kayaking. There is no better, more comforting piece of outdoor clothing on the market. Like a lot of you I find it does grab clothes, but once its on who cares. I even took a nasty tumble one very dark night. Torn up my arm and hand, but the windshirt didn't even suffer a minor tear. By far the best piece of outdoor equipment I've ever purchased. I own several outdoor jackets, and fleece but this is always the first thing I grab when I'm headed outside.

Summary:i have the driclime Omni Jacket. it's cut a little larger than the windshirt and has 2 handwarmer pockets and a zip rear pocket. this is my all around jacket. i use it mainly for commuting on my bike as it breathes well yet is highly wind resistant. it repels light rain fairly well but will not keep you from getting wet. i've even used it snowboarding on a warmer / dry day. it's one of those innovations that has been copied by many companies, i prefer Marmot's version simply for the extra pockets. the interior driclime does grab fleece jackets but slides smooth over base layers. overall it was worth the price i paid for it.

Summary:I just bought the new Flex version, mainly because of good reviews in Backpacker magazine. I needed a light jacket to wear while traveling, during late fall.
I agree with one review, that it tends to grab undergarmets. I think it will work real well over a tight fitting Damart turtleneck, but it grabs a lot.
My first trip I wore it over just a tee shirt and the weather was colder than I expected (low 40s in the morning). Or I wore it near the ocean shore a couple of times. It will NOT keep you toasty warm unless you are really being active (hiking and stuff). But it's OK if you are really cranking it in cold weather.
It stuffs into the shirt pocket but I don't agree it is a small as a softball as the Backpacker review stated. More like a small cantalope. It could use some handwarmer pockets, as I keep putting my hands where there isn't any.
I washed it once and the water repellency seemed to go away, but that was after drying it for just a day. Will test it again.
I needed to get the jacket in a week so had to pay the $149 list for it.
All in all I would give it a plus for the light weight and the Marmot lifetime warrantee.

Summary:The Driclime Windshirt is simply the most versatile piece of clothing you can buy. I have worn it as outerwear, as a midlayer, and even as a base layer. I have used it on every trip I have done since owning it. The windshirt breathes well, the driclime lining keeps you warm and it blocks the wind.If you live in or near a cool climate, I highly recommend buying this. The price is a little steep but it is worth every penny.
Customer Service:Marmot has fairly cool customer service. If it doesn't work once, just try later and they'll probably be helpful.

Summary:The best peice of clothing I've ever owned. I use this on bitter cold days as underwear, as a light insulation piece during the summer, and a windbreaker during the fall and spring, and as outerwear in aerobic winter sports. Its warm, very wind-resistant, sheds snow wonderfully, and looks great. My only complaint is that it tends to grab your clothes when you put it on over a T-shirt or something else, but anything that goes on over it slides on nicely thaks to the nylon.After useing it as outerwear X-country skiing in white out conditions I've decided to buy another one.
