Reputation for employer branding leads Rutgers MBA alumnus to new role in Saudi Arabia
Update: Annual contract renewed for international business executive working in Saudi Arabia
"It has been a fascinating year and promises to also be very interesting in 2017 as I begin my second year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is exceptional since the Saudi Electricity Company in Riyadh is in a tight budget mode and laying off contractors. My Rutgers MBA, experience, and skills continue to advance my career goals."
"Overall, the life of an ex-pat is what you make it. Accept it and use the experience to grow as a person and an international business executive. What is paramount is remembering that you are a guest in a foreign land who is being paid very well for your expert knowledge and expertise."
- Johnny Torrance-Nesbitt, Rutgers MBA, Class of '88
Job offer in Saudi Arabia
Johnny Torrance-Nesbitt, Amherst Anthropology graduate and a New Jersey native born in Newark, transferred to Rutgers graduate business school from the University of Michigan, turning down acceptances at UCLA, USC, Northwestern and Arizona. At Rutgers, he received full graduate school funding through a Ralph Bunche fellowship. While at Rutgers Business School, Torrance-Nesbitt interned at a New York City executive recruiting firm in between day classes and over the summer months.
At RBS – Newark, Torrance-Nesbitt concentrated in finance and management at RBS under Professors Nancy DiTomaso, Jim Bicksler, and Paul Nadler. He finished in spring 1988.
After Rutgers he joined the MBA corporate finance development program in early 1989 at First Chicago (now JP Morgan) in Chicago as a credit associate and then on to First Chicago Capital Markets, Inc. Leaving the world of corporate finance behind after several years, he pursued a new position in Talent Acquisition/Recruiting with Lockheed Martin in Bethesda, Maryland, as head of corporate staffing in 1996 for several years.
Moving to London, England in 1998 to wed and become a step-father, Torrance-Nesbitt pursued his interest in international living and UK travel. He was recruited back to the US in 1999 by a progressive dot.com startup, Unext LLC of Deerfield, IL as director of global staffing.
In 2002, Torrance-Nesbitt started at Monsanto in St. Louis building the firm's first employment branding function and sole manager for Monsanto earning Fortune magazine's prestigious "Best Place to Work Award" in 2004 and 2005.
Since Monsanto, Torrance-Nesbitt has led several other talent acquisition functions at Florida firms before joining the global RPO firm, Randstad in 2014 as a RPO Employer Brand Director out of Atlanta. Torrance-Nesbitt is a published global writer in his field, both on-line and in print form for several employer branding outlets. He has served as a panelist for Recruitment Buzz (Wales, UK) writing, "How Employer Branding Can Help with Organizational Change Management" and "Senior Leaders Need Training in Employer Branding."
Torrance-Nesbitt's successes in employer branding since 2002 and a deep network of industry contacts, he recently received an outstanding offer for 2016 to work in the Middle East for the Saudi Electricity Company in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as their employment brand expert.
Amherst College published a story on Torrance-Nesbitt's experiences in Riyadh in November.
Torrance-Nesbitt said: "As a cultural anthropology major at Amherst, I have always been interested in other peoples and cultures. Living in Great Britain for a year and filling several global executive positions for Unext LLC for our new offices in London, Hong Kong and Singapore, I enjoyed interacting with people in different lands."
"And at Monsanto," he continued, "I especially enjoyed working with our international colleagues in Argentina, Columbia, India, Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Thailand. The Middle East is an area of the world I am interested in knowing more about and it is a region (like the US and UK) that is now developing a deep interest in employer branding (as a recruitment vehicle) for its companies. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work in the Middle East for the Saudi Electricity company (SEC) at its impressive headquarters in Riyadh—the company was rated #5 by Forbes magazine in 2014 as a "Top 500 companies to Work for in the Arab World."
"And my ex-pat package as an American working overseas is extremely lucrative to include both housing subsidies and transportation subsides" Torrance-Nesbitt said, "not to mention minimal US taxes."
"I continue to make the most of my Rutgers MBA which has, needless to say, opened many doors for me," said Torrance-Nesbitt.

Reform Party Reputation Damaged by IRL, Says Mikser ({{commentsTotal}})
Head of the Social Democrats, Sven Mikser, said that the Reform Party could swap out a few IRL ministers as the government's reputation has been disproportionally damaged by IRL.
Mikser said on ETV's "Foorum" program on Wednesday evening that he would not be surprised if the Reform Party asks IRL to change a few ministers, having been forced to swap out two of their own since the last elections.
He said ministries under IRL leadership have been hit by scandals the most, highlighting problems with Elron, power plants and Estonian Air, which have all been run by Juhan Parts's Ministry of Economic Affairs.
Center Party MP Aivar Riisalu said the Reform Party has played its hand very well, and has cemented political power for the next 5 to 15 years, similar to dominant political forces in Belarus and Russia.
He said Siim Kallas will become the Prime Minister, and lead the party to victory at the next elections. After the election they will have a backup in Kaja Kallas, who could later become the nation's first female prime minister.

There seems to be an increasing demand for SAP SE (ADR) (NYSE:SAP)'s software, which is used by a vast number of Fortune 500 companies in managing some of their most vital jobs. Big public cloud vendors and particularly Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google have gone wild in trying to incorporate the celebrated software in their cloud data centers.
Notably, some SAP business software has had massive support from the likes of Microsoft Azure and AWS for a couple of years. The support was fueled by Google, which joined the bandwagon earlier in the year and perhaps the reason why the tech giant will want to invest more in SAP's software.
But SAP has new public cloud offerings on the horizon
Even with all the hype surrounding SAP's software, the company has stated its interest in making its own SAP Cloud. This will particularly be beneficial to SAP database customers and will have massive support from Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web, which will provide new infrastructure services.
Microsoft's infrastructure will come with over 4TB of RAM but will be primarily be used by SAP customers.
The news about SAP's intention of having its own SAP Cloud was made public at SAP's Sapphire tech conference in Orlando. The move is expected to entice corporate developers into building and distributing custom software, which will run on all three of those public clouds. This will be done through the use of Cloud Foundry technology.
All big cloud players will get a piece of the action
Constellation Research analyst Holger Mueller observes that all the big cloud players are after the SAP business. The observation comes after Google's massive praise of SAP products. Interestingly, SAP is being generous in making sure all these players deliver thus it will involve them in its business.
In other news together Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has initiated a public preview of its platform-as-a-service offering on Azure. This is in collaboration with SAP and will include incorporation of SAP Cloud Platform Identity Authentication Services.
In the meantime, SAP's stock closed at $104.69 witnessing an increase of $1.18 or 1.14%

Curriculum or Not, Teachers Teach Values
By KIMBERLY J. McLARIN,
Published: February 1, 1995
WOODSTOWN, N.J.— As always, Nina Fue starts the day by checking parental signatures. Anyone who forgot to show his homework to Mom or Dad risks a sweetly stern reminder and a little black mark in Mrs. Fue's book.
"I bet you didn't forget to eat dinner last night," Mrs. Fue tells a sheepish Korey Sickler. "Well, this should be like that. Happens all the time."
Since it's Monday, Mrs. Fue, the 1990 New Jersey teacher of the year, chooses her student of the week. Then, as every day, she asks how her fourth-graders are feeling on a scale of 1 to 10. Jillian has an earache. Stephanie feels badly but does not want to say why. ("That's O.K. Some things are private.")
In 30 short minutes, before the academic day has even begun, Nina Fue teaches responsibility, perseverance and the art of compassion, and she does so without mentioning, or even giving much thought to one of the hot educational topics of the moment -- a formalized values curriculum.
Yet values are as clearly a part of what Mrs. Fue teaches as geography or English or math. When she mentions growing up and getting a job during a grammar lesson, she teaches the work ethic. When she explains, during reading, how a mountain changed with the help of a bird, she teaches cooperation.
And although she is a religious woman, Mrs. Fue believes the importance of the informal daily teaching of values by classroom teachers is being obscured by another hot topic of the moment, school prayer. Regardless of what happens at the start of the school day -- a moment of silence, a minute of prayer -- it is what happens during the rest of the day that matters, she said.
"I don't feel it makes one whit of difference," Mrs. Fue said. "I don't think two minutes of prayer will make or break anyone's value system. That's not the place to get back what's missing. It's a tempest in a teapot."
Like a score of teachers of the year across the nation interviewed for this story, from conservatives to liberals, Mrs. Fue says the heated, much publicized national debates over values curriculums and school prayer overlook the obvious: that quietly, in their own classrooms, good teachers teach values every day.
"I don't see how I can be value-neutral," Mrs. Fue said. "If you don't stand up for what you believe in, who's going to stand up for it?"
Nancy Talbott, the 1994 state teacher of the year from Hays, Kan., put it this way: "Teachers teach values whether they do it intentionally or not." Daily Lessons In Values
It comes in the dozens of small interactions between teacher and student each day, when disciplining a child for cheating or breaking up a fight on the playground. Teachers instill honesty, compassion, respect, societal values that should not offend anyone, said Jerry Howland of Boston, the 1995 Massachusetts teacher of the year.
"I don't think we should stand up and teach the Ten Commandments," Mr. Howland said. "But things like, cheating is not right, murder is not right, those are easy. Those are things that nobody should argue against."
About one in five public school districts now offers formal programs in moral education, ranging from occasional classes in ethics to more ambitious and overarching programs. And that number is growing, said John Martin, executive director of the Character Education Partnership in Alexandria, Va.
But the 20 teachers of the year interviewed across the country are uneasy about formal values curriculums, saying such programs compartmentalize values and create political problems since they will inevitably draw fire from somewhere.
"We have to be very, very careful when teaching values" formally, said Mary Fortenberry, the 1994 state teacher of the year from Newton, Tex., who described herself as a fundamentalist Christian.
"I jokingly say, it's fine, as long as you're teaching my values."
At age 59, Mrs. Fue looks and acts like the Joan Rivers of Woodstown. She has white-blonde hair, laugh lines around her eyes and a host of no-nonsense opinions she is not afraid to share.
For 24 years, give or take a few years she took off to raise two daughters, she has taught in this South Jersey town of fewer than 4,000 people. With its bright Victorian houses and surrounding fields and orchards, Woodstown still looks and feels like Main Street America. It is the kind of town where Mrs. Fue still offers to visit each of her students at home, and the kind where many parents take her up on it.
But even Woodstown has poverty, fractured families and children who come to school woefully absent a consistent parental guidance, said Mrs. Fue.
"Kids aren't getting that guidance at home these days because parents are up to here with work and responsibilities and everything," she said.
Even in the best of times, with the best of family situations, a teacher's job extended beyond the three R's into helping students become better people and better citizens, the teachers of the year said. At a time when children bring the results of shattered families, drugs and even violence into the school, teachers should not, and indeed cannot, assume a value-neutral stance, they said.


text: New York - South Sudan on Thursday called on the UN Security Council to set a deadline for Sudan to withdraw its troops from the disputed region of Abyei or be held "accountable."Amid rising fears of border clashes between the two states, the South's President Salva Kiir is to visit Khartoum on Saturday for the first time since the division of Sudan in July.The Security Council discussed efforts to demilitarise Abyei since Khartoum's troops took control of the frontier region in May, forcing 110 000 residents to flee to South Sudan."The Sudan Armed Forces must now withdraw immediately and unconditionally from Abyei area," South Sudan's UN envoy, David Buom Choat, told a Security Council meeting on the disputed territory."We respectfully request the council to set a deadline for this withdrawal, and to hold whoever violates the deadline accountable," he added.Sudan has missed one accord to pull out of Abyei by September 30. Sudan's UN ambassador, Daffa-Alla Elhag Ali Osman, told the council the forces would only leave when a deployment of UN peacekeepers to the territory has been completed.Osman told AFP that his government wanted to avoid a "security vacuum" but that the troops would withdraw.About 1 780 Ethiopian troops out of a full force of 4 200 are already in Abyei where there have been several violent clashes this year. UN peacekeeping officials said another 900 would be in place by the end of the month.Rainy seasonThe UN has insisted the troop withdrawal accord between the north and south, made on September 11, does not state that all peacekeepers had to be present before a withdrawal.But UN officials said the start of the rainy season in the region, which has caused widespread flooding, made it difficult to assess the military state of play.Choat said South Sudan's army had withdrawn from Abyei, but the new head of UN peacekeeping Herve Ladsous, making his first appearance at the council, said South Sudanese forces were still in the territory.Ladsous called on the council to press both sides to withdraw their troops.South Sudan declared itself independent from Sudan in July following a referendum earlier this year. The two fought a two-decade civil war up to 2005 in which two million people were killed.The Security Council set up the UN mission in Abyei (Unifsa) after Sudan moved troops in.UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has proposed changing the Unifsa mandate so that it can take up a stronger border observer mission. Ladsous said the force would also require four extra helicopters and two planes to carry out the work.The South's president is to discuss the many unresolved issues between his government and Sudan in talks with President Omar al-Bashir in Khartoum on Saturday, South Sudan's foreign ministry said.The future status of Abyei, the division of the country's oil - most of which is produced in the south - as well as currency, border demarcation and debt all cloud relations between the neighbours.The Security Council is also concerned about fighting in South Kordofan and Blue Nile states, which are on the northern side of the border but have large communities originally from the south.

To install the blocking for the new sink they screwed through the face of the cabinet, leaving the screw head exposed. After speaking with the salesman they immediately took responsibility for the mistake and sent someone the next day to counter sink the screw and patch the cabinet. The patch wasnât an issue because we had repainted the cabinets previously. Would have been a much larger issue with these were unpainted. Overall the counter top itself was a great installation. They recommended a great solution to the behind the sink that other contractors did not.
Dominic M. in Woodbridge, VA
Very quick to reply to inquiry. Granite installers were quick but left the kitchen area with a film of granite dust on all of the cabinets and appliances. The seam in the granite is very noticeable, not too happy with this. There were no phone calls or emails confirming install dates or times. I had to call Merrifield to verify when the workers would show the next day. First plumber could not connect the gas stove top so we had to wait until late the following day for another plumber to connect. All workers were respectful and courteous.
Greg M. in Fort Belvoir, VA
Had a great experience working with Munkh. Project was on time, handled very professionally right from sending a quote to installing the counter to providing product care and warranty. We love our new counters and would definitely recommend hiring them.
Saritha S. in Herndon, VA
Anga was on time on the initial appointment, something that always impresses me. He listened to what we wanted to accomplish and made several helpful suggestions. His quote was the only one we got that was professionally submitted electronically. He had dozens of samples he directed us to a warehouse to select a slab. He took it from there! The Installers showed up on time. The stone looked fantastic! They moved cabinets around, installed a dishwasher and cleaned up afterwards. We are extremely happy in all respects We would hire them again without any reservations

MADELEINE BRAND, host:
Evil twins, split personalities - soap operas have created all sorts of tricks to keep viewers hooked. Now ABC's "All My Children" has introduced a transgender character. Tomorrow, it will go a step further. In New York, Richard Hake of member station WNYC visited the set.
RICHARD HAKE: The massive warehouse-like studio on the west side of Manhattan is divided up into tiny half-living rooms, bedrooms, offices and hospital rooms - sets that are familiar on any daytime soap opera. But what's not so familiar is the cast in this scene.
Unidentified Man #1: Here we go, folks. Quiet, please, for taping. Stand by. Five, four, three...
HAKE: Seven transgender people - five women and two men - are about to make television history.
(Soundbite of theme music, "All My Children")
HAKE: They're all portraying themselves in a group therapy-style scene with transgender character Zoe, who was introduced from "All My Children" back in December. The show executive producer, Julie Hanan Carruthers, says ABC wanted to show the character's transition from male to female.
Ms. JULIE HANAN CARRUTHERS (Producer, "All My Children"): It's not a smooth ride. And so in order to accurately portray it, we're showing all the ugly sides, as well as the sides that anyone would be proud to see.
Unidentified Man #2: Here we go, you guys. One.
Unidentified Man #3: Okay, places please.
Unidentified Man #2: (unintelligible) left into the hallway.
HAKE: Carruthers says "All My Children" has historically risked tackling controversial issues with some initial resistance from the network. But this storyline got a different response right from the start.
Ms. CARRUTHERS: The sales department supported it. The publicity department supported it. The actors couldn't clamor fast enough to say, am I going to be part of the story?
HAKE: But is mainstream America ready to support it? Here's another television show - CBS's "The Late Show with David Letterman."
Mr. DAVID LETTERMAN (Talk Show Host): This is it. ABC's got one called "All My Children." Are you familiar with that?
(Soundbite of applause)
Mr. LETTERMAN: And they're going to introduce a transgender character to the plot.
(Soundbite of laughter)
HAKE: "All My Children" executive producer Hanan Carruthers says her show is making the unfamiliar familiar.
Ms. CARRUTHERS: My hope is that all those people that were snickering tune in to snicker at us and find themselves caught up in a very compassionate story of a human soul.
Mr. JEFFREY CARLSON (Actor, "All my Children"): (As Zoe) Scream at me, you're a boy, damn it. Hit me with every slur he was able to pop into your head as I walked in.
HAKE: Actors Jeffrey Carlson, who plays the trans character Zoe, and Eden Riegel as Bianca, rehearse a scene. In the brightly lighted make-up room...
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. CARLSON: I'm getting sprayed. I'm turning from Jeffrey into Zoe...
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. CARLSON: ...getting the rollers pulled out of my hair.
(Soundbite of laughter)
HAKE: Carlson says he's succeeding in getting the role right, as he can see in the mail he's been getting from viewers.
Mr. CARLSON: I do get things, like, I wouldn't think I was going to like this, but...Or, I'm from here, or this is my religious belief, but they all come with their but. And it's usually, I love her, or I wanted to help her, or I'm glad I know more about this.
HAKE: ABC consulted with GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which provided the staff member to help with the script. "All My Children" won three GLAAD Media awards for introducing the first regularly-appearing lesbian character six years ago, played Riegel.
Ms. EDEN RIEGEL (Actress, "All My Children"): It doesn't even like it could have possibly ever been a groundbreaking story because it just seemed so - it's like breathing. It's like the most natural thing in the world that the character on a soap would come out of the closet. And yet, when we did, it was a really, really big deal.
Unidentified Man #4: Ed, this is also a standby for Erica, Jack and Sean and Colby.
Ms. SUSAN LUCCI (Actress, "All My Children): Historically, it really is that "All My Children" has been about.
HAKE: Susan Lucci has been playing Erica Kane on the show for almost 31 years.
Ms. LUCCI: Erica Kane had the first legal abortion on television.
(Soundbite of banging)
HAKE: Jennifer Boylan is an English professor at Colby College and the author of the bestseller, "She Is Not Home." She's appearing as herself with six other transgender people in this episode of "All My Children," where scripts won't be used in a type of group therapy scene.
Mr. CARLSON: It's reality TV in a way, which is to say you've got real transgender people telling their stories. That's very powerful, and it's never been done before.
(Soundbite of banging)
HAKE: But can a television character change people's perceptions and force acceptance?
Mr. JIM COLUCCI (TV Writer; Author, "Will and Grace: Fabulously Uncensored"): It's always that age-old question: Does TV mirror life or does it change life? And I think it's both.
HAKE: TV writer Jim Colucci is the author of "Will and Grace: Fabulously Uncensored." He says NBC took a risk by introducing that controversial show at the time, but knew exactly what it was doing.
Mr. COLUCCI: To get the kind of numbers that a network show needs to succeed, it has to appeal to everybody. That's what broadcasting means. And so the idea was - and it's true - "Will and Grace" was watched across America.
HAKE: Soaps have been going after that broad appeal all these years. And "All My Children" is trying to continue that with the transgender character, whether for sensationalism or for education. Or maybe both.
For NPR News...
Unidentified Man #5: Out.
Unidentified Man #6: Yeah.
Unidentified Man #5: We're going to do it one more time.
HAKE: I'm Richard Hake in New York.

'The Expendables 4' Latest Update: Jean-Claude Van Damme May Return to the Franchise, Report Suggests
Following Sylvester Stallone's confirmation that "The Expendables 4" will happen and it will bring "something new" for fans to enjoy, a new report suggests that Jean-Claude Van Damme may return to the franchise.
To recap, Van Damme's character was killed off in the second installment of the movie series. Van Damme's villain battled with Stallone's Barney Ross to the end until the latter triumphed after the bloody bout. The villain did not appear for the franchise's third film.
Den of Geek has picked up an interesting theory from Muscle and Fitness wherein it is suggested that Van Damme's villain may be able to make a comeback in "The Expendables 4." There is not much known about the report and the source remains unconfirmed but DoG says many fans are looking forward to seeing more of JCVD and his amazing martial arts in the franchise.
Stallone has yet to address the speculations about Van Damme's alleged return. The official cast for the sequel is also still under wraps but more details are expected to be announced in the coming months. Production is also expected to kick off this year, though not too many details have been disclosed yet.
Meanwhile, the "Expendables" fan base was thrilled when Stallone took to Facebook to tease fans on what they should expect of his busy 2017 schedule. While the award-winning actor is working on "Tough As They Come," he did reveal that the upcoming "Expendables" movie will deliver something different for viewers.
"We're going to do our best, but I think we've got some really great attitude going. We've got great ideas. I think everyone is expecting something different and we're going to give it to them," he said.
Coming Soon notes that the franchise has proven to be a hit in foreign territories, even if it somehow did hit expectations in terms of domestic success. The first film was the most popular and most praised one as it took home $103 million domestically and added in a total of $171 million from foreign fans.
The "Expendables" franchise has also seen numerous appearances from popular action stars including Chuck Norris, Bruce Willis, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, and even Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"The Expendables 4" is slated for release sometime 2018.

Corrupted Recycle Bins
I am running Windows 7 Pro on a new computer (purchased 6 months ago) and keep getting the following error...
I have numerous drives (1 SSD, 2 internal HDDs and 3 external HDDs), but only get this error on two of the drives. I had one of the drives before I purchased this commuter and I bought one after. I've tried reformatting both drives, but the error still persists.
The error pops up every time I try to empty or view the Recycle Bin.
The two drives that keep getting the error are identical (both Seagate 5TB Backup Plus USB 3). However when the problem started I had one of the Seagate drives and a 3TB Western Digital My Backup Plus and was getting the error on both of those drives.
Any ideas on what's causing this and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, there is a system for adding images to the post, if you can post a screenshot of the error, then we can do something. If you are using the old iPhone Win 7 forums app, you can't do this.

We have no idea which partitions in HDD &or SSD you are referring to.
Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image
You cannot just delete any Recycle Bin from any partition.
To view what is inside the Recycle Bin, it is not necessary to go to that particular partition to open the Recycle Bin.
To delete or find where the file you have accidentally deleted.
Go to the Desktop --> Open the Recycle Bin <-- This is the Master, and proper way to open.
When it open, the deleted files will be seen here, and include the drive letter /partition, if you select another.
Recycle Bin is always re-created if you delete it, by the system.
So do leave Recycle Bins in all the partitions alone and do not do anything.

ALTON – On Friday, Alton Main Street will host the 21st annual Community Tree Lighting at Lincoln-Douglas Square will begin with the arrival of actors portraying Santa and Mrs. Claus on a trolley at 6 p.m.
The free festivities include caroling, candy, cookies and hot cocoa until 6:45 p.m. when Alton Mayor Brant Walker will flip the lights on the tree, provided by the Alton-Godfrey Rotary Club. Families are encouraged to bring their cameras to take pictures with Santa and costumed holiday characters.
Carols will fill the air throughout the evening provided by many area Girl Scout troops and Mike Adams, pastor of Lifehouse Church, will bless the tree. Other speakers include Rotary Club President Liz Parker and Salvation Army Lieutenants Bryan and Teri Ellison who, along with Chair-Family Kevin, Julie, Kathleen, Jonathan and K.J. Botterbush, will be kicking off the red kettle Tree of Lights campaign.
The public is encouraged to help the less fortunate by bringing canned food donations to the event, which will be constructed into a giant "Castle of Cans" to benefit the food pantry at the Salvation Army. Citizens may also drop off non-perishable food donations in advance into collection boxes in the lobbies of Alton City Hall, the Alton Police Department or either of the Alton Fire Stations any time before 5pm on Thursday, Nov. 19.
Between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., free trolley transportation will be provided between Lincoln-Douglas Square and the Riverbender.com Community Center, located at 200 W. 3rd St. Following the tree lighting, the public is invited to the Community Center's Holiday Open House to play games, do crafts, visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus and warm up with refreshments indoors until 10 p.m.
Alton Main Street encourages the public to enjoy the activities in the district while patronizing the downtown merchants for their holiday shopping. More information on the ways the Alton Main Street is working to promote and improve the historic district, as well as ways to get involved on their website, www.DowntownAlton.com.

I went to this mostly in order to support my good mate and superb drummer, Matt C, in his new band Monument. And great British hard rock it was to boot. Lovely. Second band, black metal. Forget it. Total misfit.
And finally Dio Disciples with, as far as I can tell, Tim "Ripper" Owens, Craig Goldy, James LoMenzo, Simon Wright and Scott Warren. Having seen Dio with both his own band and Deep Purple backing him, I can safely say this was like seeing someone sleep with your ex-girlfriend. A little sad. And the turnout was pretty pathetic even for a Monday night. Oh well. They're all well-seasoned performers but nothing really standout.

OW2 was busy and scored great success in Brazil in August thanks to Strategic Members Bull, INRIA and SERPRO and Corporate Members EBM Websourcing, Konsultex and UNIFOR.
Our efforts in Brazil included meetings and presentations with members and prospective members and participating in CONSEGI 2009 (Congresso Internacional de Software Livre e Governo Eletrônico). The objective was to prepare the launch of the OW2 Brazil Local Chapter.
Meetings and Presentations A series of meetings and presentations were held to promote and grow the OW2 community in Brazil:
At CONSEGI, OW2 was invited to give several presentations:
Our appreciation to SERPRO for making this possible, specially Ana Maria Amorim for the invitation, and to Deivi Kuhn and Paulo Pastore for the many introductions and their patient support.
CONSEGIThe conference (August 26 - 28, 2009, Brazilia) was co-organized by SERPRO, OW2 Strategic member, who officially invited OW2 to participate (view the invitation).
The high point of CONSEGI was of course the presence of President Lula at the opening ceremony where he declared his intention to position Brazil at the forefront of open source in the world. Brazil is probably the only country where open source is granted such a broad political dimension. Government support for open source in Brazil is tremendous and it is brilliantly orchestrated by our friends at SERPRO.
Open BusinessIn the framework of CONSEGI, SERPRO and the export-oriented Softex and Apex organizations, organized a day-long event where small open source companies started discussions about how to better cooperate in order to grow their market and leverage the federal government strategy to develop exports of open source technologies and solutions toward countries in Latin America and Africa.
Open source trade associationAs an outcome of CONSEGI and Open Business, we expect the launch of a Brazilian open source trade association in the near future. We are looking forward to supporting it through the OW2 Brazil Local Chapter and by providing access to world-class technology and an organized platform that is both community-driven and internationally connected.
Brasilia Protocol
The Brasilia Protocol details a commitment and an action plan to enforce the ODF format as a standard for the production, exchange and storage of written documents. It is promoted by large IT users, including Caixa Economica Federal (Clarice Coppetti, VP IT at Caixa, is the coordinator of the Brasilia Protocol), Banco do Brasil, SERPRO, Ministério das Relações Exteriores, Correios, Dataprev, etc. The Brasilia Protocol is a unique initiative to promote nation-wide use of an open standard.

1. Concealer Triangle
While dotting may be the most popular way of applying concealer. The upsidedown triangle actually does two things, it covers blemishes and redness as well as lifting your face. the illusion is created as your face is brightest under your eye.
2. Make eye shadow pop
Using a white eyeliner all over your lid before you apply your eye shadow to give the color more definition and intensify the result. It will also last longer as the powder will stick better to the liner than your eyelid.
3. Crosshatch for Smoky
Draw the hashtag symbol in the corner of your eye to create a super-easy smoky eye. Blend out the color with the smudger tool on the other end of your pencil.
4. Convert pencil to gel
Hold your pencil under the flame of a lighter for one second. Let the tip cool for 15 seconds. Now you can glide the color on with the effect of a gel liner for a trendy, smudgier application

Flare Your Fashion With These Helpful Strategies
Wearing nice clothes should bring you happiness all day. When you put on a great outfit, it should put a smile on your face when you look in the mirror. Others around you will also smile at your look, making you feel even better. Read this article to increase your understanding of fashion, and how to make it work for you. weddings mississauga canada
Strap on a belt for a fast and fashionable look. You can get a belt in many designs or colors. Choose something bright to go with some skinny jeans, or tone it down and go with a more sophisticated look by wearing a black belt.
Pull your hair up and off your shoulders. This can reduce the hassle of long hair, especially if you are stressed out at work or school. If you do not have time to spend on your hair, put your hair up in a messy, but adorable bun.
Many are under the impression that fashion only pertains to clothes. What many are unaware of is that hair, poorly styled or in bad condition, can immediately ruin the look of even the most fabulous outfit. You need to take the time to style your hair with fashion sense too, and take care of it with the best products for your particular type.
In the summer, highlighting your hair in a different color is a great way to add pizzazz to your wardrobe. However, don't do it too often or your hair will get unhealthy. Conditioning is an essential part of hair treatment or it will end up damaged.
If frizz is your enemy, do not rub your hair with a towel when you finish washing it. This can damage the hair and make it more prone to frizz. Try wrapping it in the towel and pushing it to absorb the moisture instead. Once dry, remove the towel and style as usual.
Every woman should at least have a few key items in her closet. Everyone needs two slacks, one hemmed pair of jeans for heels and one for sneakers. Let's not forget the mainstay for every woman, the little black dress.
Just because a fashion trend is popular doesn't mean you have to follow it. What looks amazing for a runway model might not look great on you. Do not follow the crowd. Instead, choose your outfits yourself. Rely on your instinct and individual taste when making fashion choices. It is the best way to go.
Plus-sized women can give the illusion of being smaller by avoiding large floral patterns. Larger shapes emphasize your size and do not flatter you. An alternative would be to pick small florals, which will give the perception of you being smaller in size as well.
Are you in need of a new pair of pants or jeans? If you have been in a clothing store lately, you know that the number of different sizes and fits available have mushroomed. It can be pretty intimidating. Select classic clothing like straight or boot cut jeans. These styles work for most people.
Fashion has lots of rules, but don't let this deter you from experimentation. Without trying a look yourself, you'll never know whether it looks good on you. Mix and match to try different styles, materials and colors. You can create great looks by putting certain pieces together.
Whenever you look and feel great, your confidence level will skyrocket, and others will notice. You will feel good about yourself and easily make new friends when you start applying all the fashion tips in this article.

Is vrotels.com legit?
Report Abuse
Renting an apartment in NYC short term - less than 30 days - is illegal except in very unusual circumstances. The chances are that these places are illegal (so if anything is wrong you have no recourse).
So are they legit - no.
Is it also a scam? - possibly - I don;t know. But there are a lot of listings that simply don't exist.
Based on the fact that a lot of these are at the same addresses it looks like it might be a failed co=op or condo - and the owner is trying to make up for lack of sales through illegal short-term rentals.
Especially disturbing is that they don't have actual addresses - so you can't even see what the building looks like. (I just called for fun and they don;t provide addresses until you actually get to NYC to meet someone. And the person answering the phone - sounds like a young girl - refused to give out any information until I provided all sorts of details).
I wouldn't touch this with a barge pole. You could easily end up put all of your money - and you have no idea where you are going to be staying.
Report Abuse
Strongly suggest you let us know what your budget is and when you are coming. There are hotels in all price ranges in many different areas of the city - so no need to stay in Times Square at all.
Just give us some details and people can make specific recos.
And if you want a kitchen there are quite a few hotels that have suites or rooms with kitchenettes or basic cooking facilities available. And you will know where they are and that they're legitimate.
Report Abuse
There are plenty of hotels outside of Times Square, but short-term apartment rentals are illegal. So legit or not, I'd recommend avoiding this site.
Report Abuse
OH! NO! What I didn't understand is "we" can help you find a hotel. Thanks for the good points. We were about to pay our deposit.
I've used vrbo before...are you saying they are not legit? When I've called and called and some places you can't call, it is a young girl who answers and just now before I read your note, she said, "WHO?...." when I asked for Ryan.
Good advise on sticking with a hotel that you have some recourse, if something goes wrong. Many thanks to all.
Report Abuse
"I've used vrbo before...are you saying they are not legit?"
That was explained at the beginning of the the first response.
Report Abuse
I'd asked about vrotels???
Report Abuse
well,what do you mean by "legit"?
They, like VRBO and Craigslist, are listing services. They include rentals that are most likely not legal. (There are dozens of discussions on this board about how most apt rentals in NYC of less than 30 days are illegal)
Does that mean everything VROTELS does is illegal? Who knows.
If you google the phone number given you'll see they also operate under other business names, not just vrotels. There seem to be the usual amount of complaints online about their services, and that doesn't even count the "generally illegal" aspect of the NYC rentals .
Report Abuse
As stated most apartment rentals under 30 days are illegal, so don't take a chance. An apartment/hotel will be your best bet. Try the Affinia apartments, Radio City Apartments, etc.
Report Abuse
Other Apartment/Hotels for you to check out:
DoubleTree Suites
The Blakely
San Carlos
Report Abuse
Yes, but while VRBO are illegal in NYC they often actually do exist. And you can get detailed information from them - specific address of the property, references of previous renters, can buy insurance and can often pay with credit cards.
This vrotels.com has several problems:
The phone is answered - after many rings - by a young girl saying huh?
There is practically no information about the apartments on the site and based on photos many seem to be sparsely furnished
Some that claim to have a bedroom actually have a loft instead based on the floor plan and photo
There are no addresses provided - just an intersection. When I asked about this I was told the landlords had to "protect their privacy" - as in hide who they are - and specific addresses are not provided until the renter GETS TO NEW YORK(!!!!)
There are no prices provided for the apartments
There are no references provided
Basically the web site is a lot of fluff - no content - except a lot of floorplans (could come from the NY Times web site for all we know) and photos (which are repetitive for different apartments).
They do not seem to take credit cards or paypal - but it's hard to determine since the web site is so sparse the the HUH? girl would not provide any answers.
IMHO this one may well be a scam - since based on the web site they are not promising you any specific apartment. Don't know how you would collect if you were put in a dump - even if you could track them down.
For apartments away from Times Square look at the Beacon on the upper west side. A great, primarily residential area that is busy without being frantic and right nest Central park - and the subway to get you anywhere.
Report Abuse
Again - thanks...I agree with what has been said...will start looking at hotels - maybe some with kitchenettes.
Report Abuse
Im staying in NYC for Christmas. Got a good deal with Affinia Dumont & the room has a kitchen
Report Abuse
Most Affinia hotels have full one-bedroom suites with kitchens; none is in Times Square, so that's an option for you. But some of the hotels are pretty expensive. The one that you may want to consider is the Eastgate Tower, which is an older property that needs work but has some very large full apartments (some with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms). It's ideal for a group of people and fairly close to transit and good restaurants on the northernmost edge of a nice residential area.

EDWARDSVILLE — An outspoken advocate for better drug treatment, who failed a drug test last week, passed a test since then and was allowed to continue her freedom on probation.
Angela Halliday, 31, who was twice charged but never convicted of drug induced homicide, was urged by Assistant State's Attorney Ryan Sweet to start attending the drug treatment sessions as set out in her probation order.
Halliday has said publicly that, had there been sufficient drug treatment when she began using heroin, she may have never become seriously addicted.
Sweet said at a hearing last week that she had not been attending the drug treatment facility, except to get methadone. The circuit court holds hearings on petitions to revoke probation each Wednesday morning. Halliday appeared last week and again this week after Associate Judge Neil Schroeder noted that the allegations in the petition submitted last week did not include the same information that Sweet provided verbally at last week's hearing.
Halliday promised Wednesday to do better. She said she was not attending treatment because of transportation problems. She said she has found it difficult to find a job. "I'm trying; I really am," she told Sweet.
She failed a drug test last month on the day of her hearing on a petition to revoke her probation.
Sweet told a judge she had failed every drug test she has taken since she has been out of prison, and her mother has been granted an order of protection for allegedly allowing her addict friends to sleep in her basement in Moro, as well as other alleged offenses.
Reporter Sanford Schmidt can be contacted at 618-208-6449.

text: In what has become an all too familiar scenario, another Carnival cruise ship reported engine problems and ended floating aimlessly while passengers onboard no doubt fumed. The latest in a string of high-profile mishaps for the world's largest cruise company involved its ship Destiny, carrying more than 4,000 passengers and crew. By Wednesday afternoon, technicians had reportedly restored partial power, but only after it had drifted for 27 hours in the Atlantic off the Turks and Caicos Islands. Power to the two electric propulsion motors of the cruise liner Destiny was lost about 1:40 a.m. EST (0640 GMT) Tuesday, leaving the ship adrift about 60 miles (97 km) east of Grand Turk, one of the Atlantic islands that make up the British colony north of Hispaniola, the company said. Carnival spokesman Tim Gallagher said a team of technicians restored power to the port side propulsion engine about 5 a.m. EST on Wednesday (1000 GMT) and the ship was making about 10-12 knots. It initially headed toward San Juan, Puerto Rico, its first scheduled port of call. But company officials decided to bring it back to Miami for repairs when the technicians were unable to fix the starboard side engine. Destiny left Miami on Sunday for a seven-day Caribbean cruise to San Juan and the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix. It carried 2,956 passengers and a crew of 1,063, the cruise line said. Carnival said Destiny had experienced a technical problem with its two cyclo-converters, which control the transmission of electrical power to the ship's propulsion motors. Gallagher said the passengers were comfortable. The engine problem did not affect the ship's "hotel" systems -- showers, lights and air conditioning. The company said passengers would be given full refunds, a 50 percent discount on a future cruise and would be allowed to stay on board the ship until Sunday. Destiny was expected in Miami Friday evening. "We are very sorry for this disruption to our guests' vacations and apologize that we were not able to operate the cruise as scheduled," Carnival President Bob Dickinson said. Carnival ship mishaps started in July 1998 with a fire aboard the liner Ecstasy, a fire captured on the news which resulted in putting the ship out of commission for nearly two months, costing Carnival more than $18 million. On Jan. 12 of this year, a fire broke out aboard the vessel Celebration, leaving it adrift in the Caribbean for six hours north of Montego Bay, Jamaica. On Dec. 28, 200 passengers protested dockside in Nassau, Bahamas, complaining that engine problems on the ship Paradise had ruined a millennium cruise. The ship was able to make only 80 percent of normal speed, forcing it to miss stops in the eastern Caribbean in favor of the nearby Bahamas and Mexico. Last September, an engine room fire crippled the ship Tropicale in the Gulf of Mexico as a tropical storm roared nearby. The ship, carrying about 1,700 passengers, returned to port three days later.

AAP's Reading of Constitution Leads to Conflicts with Centre, Says Najeeb Jung
The AAP government's reading of the Constitution in terms of Delhi's status leads to conflicts with the Centre, Lt Governor Najeeb Jung said on Saturday.

New Delhi: The AAP government's reading of the Constitution in terms of Delhi's status leads to conflicts with the Centre, Lt Governor Najeeb Jung said on Saturday.
"The conflict will arise only when if you have a different understanding of the Constitution...I cannot interpret even a comma of the papers under the Constitution in front of me," he said at the 'Times Litfest' here.
"Their (AAP) understanding of the Constitution was different from that of the court," he said alluding to the August 4 verdict of the Delhi High Court that stamped the LG's primacy as the city's administrative head.
Jung, who shares an embittered relationship with the AAP government, said the Constitution is clear in terms of Article 239 AA, which determines Delhi's status and charts out its
administrative hierarchy.
He said the Centre has a major say in criticial policy initiatives of Delhi pertaining to law and order, police, land and services, and that there are "caveats" on dealing with issues that fall outside the purview of these areas.
The Lieutenant Governor said that he was not bound by the advice of an elected government and takes decisions depending on the overall situation in the country.
"...whatever the Delhi government approves should be examined by the Union to see if it falls in the broad policy
of the Government of India.
"For that it comes to the LG and therefore the clear distinction here is that he needs an advice of the Council of Ministers in Delhi. He is not bound by that and will take decisions depending on the overall situation in the country," Jung stated.
The Lt Governor added that he shared a "personal rapport" with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and that the latter "has always been good and a gentleman." "We never had any altercation," Jung said

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Marketplace' started by log cabin lawn care, Feb 17, 2011.
i am looking for a 40' lift and a set of outriggers off a bucket truck must be in good condition.
I've got the lift but the truck didn't have outriggers on it. I could swing all the way around with it and the truck would hardly move a inch. It was on a f-800 truck though. Worked when removed, the bucket has a crack in it but is plenty good to use ot you could glass it up with a patch. Needs paint. Don't want much for it.

can you post some pics? and give me a call tomorow Call me @ 989-551-0982
I may come down asap to look at it myself also.
i will get you pictures tomorrow and i will be in the shop all day tomorrow if you wan to see it. Im probably a hour and a half from you.
I bought it to make into a hooklift body but im never going to get that far.
give me a call when you get the pictures up. I am going to be working on trucks but I will take the time to come down and take a look at it. call me @989-551-0982
give me a call when you get the pictures up. I am going to be working on trucks but I will take the time to come down and take a look at it. call me @989-551-0982
is it a telescopic lift
No its a boom one that breaks in the center and folds in half. It was rear mounted on the truck and then it would fold and rest over the cab. It will give you 40 feet. I can't say I've ever seen a telescoped lift that's only 40' of reach. Normally those are on the 85-125' lifts. Even the 75' just break over center and then have a elevator base.
Posted via Mobile Device
these are pics, each stick looks to be 18-20 feet long plus the height of the base and then the height of your truck. So i would say mounted it should be able to reach at least 50' up.
the last section is fiberglass also.

Blake Shelton Cheating On Gwen Stefani?
Blake Shelton is NOT "cheating" on Gwen Stefani, nor does he have a sordid history of infidelity, despite a new tabloid cover story. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust this claim. We're told there's "no truth" to it.
According to the National Enquirer, Shelton has a secret past of "serial cheating," "violent rages," and "constant boozing," that he's hiding from Stefani. The magazine alleges the country singer cheated on Miranda Lambert with at least eight other women during the time they were married, as well as tried to make moves on Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, and Shakira, among others.
Not surprisingly, the tabloid further claims Shelton's supposed womanizing has carried itself over into his relationship with Stefani. And the magazine's headline, "Cheating Blake: 9 Women He's Hiding From Gwen," is nothing more than a cheap bait-and-switch, with all of the ladies mentioned being women he allegedly hooked up with before dating Stefani. As for actually being unfaithful to the No Doubt singer, the publication claims he "cheated" on her by making "late-night phone calls" to Cassadee Pope, his protegee on "The Voice" in 2012.
Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to the situation, as well as a rep for Shelton. While the singer's rep tells Gossip Cop it's all "false," another insider also assures us there's simply "no truth" to the tabloid's cheating allegations. The country singer was never unfaithful to Lambert, nor is he pursuing other women behind Stefani's back.
Of course, we're not surprised the tabloid would concoct such a story. In the less than five months since they started dating, Gossip Cop has corrected numerous false stories about Shelton and Stefani's relationship in the Enquirer. Earlier this month, we debunked the tabloid's bogus claim that Stefani was pregnant with Shelton's baby (but had a miscarriage). And shortly before that, Gossip Cop busted the magazine's absurdly false tales about the couple being caught having sex at a wrap party for "The Voice," as well as making homemade sex tapes. The tabloid's latest cover story about Shelton's supposed history of cheating is equally untrue.

Filmmaker Ramesh Sippy's daughter Sheena is traveling with the Bachchans on the Unforgettable Tour to photograph the show and compile the pictures into a book. Sheena is a professional photographer and has done assignments with personalities such as Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Imran Khan, Naomi Campbell, and Zakir Husain. Sources say that Sheena is not happy with the fact that Amitabh posts pictures from the concerts on his blog with detailed captions. "The demand for the photographs of the shows is increasing," says Amitabh on his blog. "I am compiling some more pictures. But this is not being received well by the photographer (Sheena) since she has been assigned to do a book on the tour. She feels all her work is going out to the world before time." Big B praises Sheena on her work, "The magnificence of the arena and the enthusiasm of the crowds are so beautifully captured by Sheena Sippy Kapoor, who has been assigned to do a book on the tour." Sheena is married to Shashi Kapoor's son Kunal. Her family's association with the Bachchan's dates back to the time when her father directed Amitabh in the blockbuster Sholay. Later on, her brother Rohan Sippy teamed up with Abhishek Bachchan in Bluffmaster. "We are indeed such an integrated fraternity and proud of it," says Amitabh.

Erin Davenport – Hannah Fuller is a dear friend, so when the time came for a member of the staff to interview her about fashion and art, I jumped at the opportunity. Entering her room in her apartment at B is a feast for the eyes. Her bed is perfectly made. Christmas lights surround her desk, giving a soft lighting to the pale blue walls. Postcards from friends' time abroad are carefully arranged on the wall above her bed, and on her desk is a mixture of fashion magazines, French books, and photos of friends and family. What follows is a lightly edited transcript of my interview with Hannah:
Erin Davenport: You are writing your thesis on couture. Why is couture relevant?
Hannah Fuller: Well I'll start by specifying that I'm doing French haute couture… and what I'm exploring most in my thesis is using a lens of sociological theory on class and social structures and their distribution within a society like the French society and how the haute couture industry becomes a reflection of that. So that's my general basis.
Today we see this huge shift all of a sudden: a decrease in the number of Parisian designers, a globalization of fashion, it seems to be coming at the cost of the sort of artisanal. People are beginning to make claims that it's becoming obsolete, that it's becoming no longer valuable because it's this dated, privileged, indulgent practice which is absolutely what it stands for in so many ways- but it owns that and that's important. So what I'm arguing is that rather than being obsolete you need to treat it as an art form just like you would a painting in a museum, and a very telling art form because it's worn, and we're a very corporal society and so you're taking something, and you're taking its meaning, and you're putting it on bodies, even if those bodies only exist in a very elite sphere…And for France it's still very much woven into the way people present and manifest their class positioning. Far more than economic, this is how people signal their status. And so it doesn't mean it's an admirable–I'm not making those claims in all of these spaces–but they're certainly just part of the way- one of the ways- in the French society in which those get expressed. So, to me that's why haute couture is not… to say it's obsolete is to overlook the ways it is very much still a part of French society.
ED: Obviously you're talking about clothing as art and fashion as art but we don't have a lot of representation of that within the art classes at Davidson. How have you managed to study what you've wanted to study and has that been a barrier for you at Davidson?
HF: You know it's certainly something I always wish I could get more of, but I also knew coming to a liberal arts institution it's not going to be fashion-focused, although I do think it's often overlooked by professors who are interested in looking at identity, class, race, and gender, you know fashion is a really cool space to be exploring because people can relate [to it], even when you talk about haute couture they may not get what's going down a runway but we can understand that I am wearing a piece of clothing right now, so there's that sort of relatability even in understanding the very basics of it, of this industry. So I think that it often gets overlooked.
In terms of finding other ways to educate myself it's been through reading …going abroad and seeking out internship opportunities and seeking out these spaces for myself and then pushing for them and sort of forcing my way in sometimes was really the number one way for me to learn and probably learning the most in the times when I felt most uncomfortable.
How I'm making Davidson work, is okay so no one is teaching fashion, but I can take my thesis and say "wow, fashion is such an intersectional industry and Davidson has all these other spaces and departments that can speak to fashion so I'll find a way to make that apply here and not seem like I'm just entirely missing out or this school isn't serving me in some way that I'm going to find a way to make the liberal arts education and this idea of being intersectional in terms of interdepartmental apply for myself, and hopefully that'll inspire other departments to really think about that more, within the arts".
ED: Speaking to the sociological element of your thesis and our context here, how would you contextualize what you think of the fashion culture at Davidson and the ways that campus values might be represented in that?
HF: Well, fashion being a manifestation of class, that certainly comes into play here. I think it can do multiple things, one is that it just serves as a way of self-expression, you know of people coming from different countries, different states, different regions, and I think sometimes you just see that manifested in the clothing culture at Davidson. I also think you see very clearly play out different class and economic positioning that a lot of individuals, we naturally do as part of forming our identity.
So I think part of it is kind of owning the different spaces we come from, you know I always joke about my Birkenstocks and plaid but you know that's real, but I think there's also deeper things there, you know like when I think back to like my freshman year when I wasn't consciously dressing, that I was enacting a lot of sort of labels and messages about what my socio-economic status was and what my sense of gender was you know and I think those things are interesting for analysis on this campus and certainly I think you see it.
ED: You referred to the time before you became an intentional dresser, now as you've become an intentional dresser and thought more deeply about things, when have you most recently used clothing to make a message and what was that message?
HF: Oh! My clogs. To me that felt big. Because the context I know them in is in Seattle, the older women in my life wore them, my mother wore them throughout all of my childhood, and I was horrified by her I was like "Mom you cannot wear clogs." But what I think is fun about them is they provide elevation they actually give me this really cool height dynamic without changing sort of the structure of my foot, so I get to feel tall like a high heel but I don't have to feel like I'm warping my body in order to do that. I love that. I love that they're chic and black and leather, and so I sort of have this chic thing going on but also this comfort thing, and that's a statement for me. And I like how when you pair them with a yoga pant but when it's a flared yoga pant people think you're dressing up for a presentation when really you're just wearing a yoga pant and a clog.
And I love also playing with colors like one day being totally floral and looking like I just stepped off a New York subway in black, especially since I'm not a New Yorker, so what does that identity look like? Do I get to enact it? Do I get to play with it at Davidson? Like how do I experience that? So I think that's where some of my intentional dressing cialis dysphagia comes like sometimes dressing in ways that I know I would've cringed at earlier in my career that aren't traditional…they're still very feminine to me and they still make me feel like I'm expressing my sexuality in a specific way that I want to be expressing and I'm still expressing things but it doesn't feel quite as evident or as tangible, I think, for other people, which is nice.

Casio or a Luminox- Watches that portray much more than just the time!
There are a very few people who actually love to wear watches, since most of them nowadays simply see the time in their mobile phones. But for those few intellectual individuals who actually understand the importance of adoring their wrist with something sophisticated and attractive; Casio watches can be their best choice. When it comes to wearing a watch; a watch connoisseur will understand it is something more than just having an object that will show the time. Wearing a brand like Casio shows your attitude and the taste that you have. These were extremely fine timepieces that were launched way back in 1954 and since then, they have evolved a lot. Presently, there is a vast collection; each with unique features and different functions. It goes without saying that if you want a watch that will utterly change the way you look and feel, a Casio will best suite your needs.
All throughout these years; the brand has evolved a lot and now, you get different designs and sizes for men, women and children. The women's Casio watches are much smaller in size and sleek compared to the men's collection. This is also supposedly the first brand that had integrated a calculator inside a watch. Therefore these watches are not only considered very attractive and functional but also very useful. All the timepieces are water proof and are considered very tough gadgets.
Another very unique brand any watch enthusiast would love to wear is Luminox. The unique illumination feature of Luminox watches is what sets them apart from other brands. This sort of an innovative function was designed to appeal to sportsmen and especially divers; where they could see the time even deep underwater. There may be other watches that also light up, but with a Luminox the theory is completely different. These timepieces have tiny gas lights called borosilicate glass capsules that provide constant illumination without the need for solar power or batteries. In fact these capsules provide continuous illumination for up to 25 years which is really amazing. With a Luminox you needn't push a button to use the light up factor; since it performs all of these functions automatically. So, if you are thinking of standing out amongst the crowd; choose something extraordinary such as a Luminox or Casio watches.
