I love brit cool max tee shirts so I thought I'd give these zip up collar types a try. The tips of the collar are off set when they fold down so look a little funny. Because of that I'll just use them for sleeping and around the house to break the chill. They are very comfortable just like the tee shirts. If you haven't given the non-collar tees a go, you're missing out. My XL was true to size just like my couple of orders of the tees.

Extremely cool shirts on hot days.
good value for a "COOL MAX" shirt well made Brit surplus
Great basic T-shirts, and I really like the CoolMax material. These shirts when they get wet or sweaty dry out fast. Overall a super T shirt for hot days. I am wearing one now as I type this.
I use the UBACS shirts every day. Coolmax is great. These that I last bought is for my mil. contractor son.
I love the shirts! They are perfect for hiking. The only caution is the sizes run a wee bit smaller than normal. I wear a large and the shirts (2 per order) were tighter than normal. The quality, however, was excellent and the price can't be beat, especially for CoolMax.

TOWN OF GENEVA, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities now say that two bodies found near Lake Geneva were inside separate suitcases -- and officials assume that a criminal put them there.
The town of Geneva Police Department released a statement Friday morning with more details about the bizarre discovery.
It happened Thursday afternoon, while town crews were cutting grass. A resident saw the suitcases and called 911.
Highway workers moved them to a roadside while they finished their lawn mowing. Police opened the suitcases a few hours later and found the bodies.
Autopsies were scheduled for Friday. At last word, police were not sure who the victims were -- but they tried assuring local residents they had nothing to fear, and it was an isolated incident which actually occurred elsewhere.

The Oles end their season with a 5-6 record in the MIAC and a 14-17 mark overall. The teams sub-500 record came as somewhat of a disappointment after the Oles 2002 campaign which saw them finish 9-2 and second in the MIAC.
The Oles had to battle back from its rocky start this season when it opened up MIAC play with three consecutive losse. Just a couple of weeks ago the team found themselves with a 2-5 conference record.
The girls enthusiasm for the game, however, contributed to their ability to bounce back.
Were a very young team and were still learning more about ourselves, Danica Finseth 06 said. Our team has seen many lineup changes as weve tried to figure out the best ways to motivate ourselves and make things click.
The teams turnaround began on Oct. 17 when the Oles upset St. Thomas 3-1. This performace was followed by another 3-2 victory against Hamline. The team capped off the stretch by sweeping St. Kates 3-0.
We were really focusing on aggressive serving, service receiving, and communication, Audrey Volstad 07 said. Everyone was playing for each other and having fun. This team just loves to compete and go for everything.
A competitive and fun-loving attitude is what sparked the teams chemistry.
There is nothing better than being surrounded by a dozen other people who love the game just as much as you do every day, whether at practice or at a game, Finseth said.
Although there wont be any more practices or games this season for the Oles and the team will be forced to say goodbye to senior co-captains Andrea Cuff and Andrea Drapcho, all may not be lost. The teams strong finish bodes well for next season.
Weve made big steps to where we want to be come next season, Finseth said.

What Hurts the Most..2 Reviews
After all that's happened... how can Kagome find the strength to go on without Inuyasha?
Disclaimer: I do not own either Inuyasha or any of the song lyrics that are below... they belong to the talented Rumiko Takahashi and The wondrous band Rascal Flatts.

Her tears burned as she neared the newly painted room. She imagined that he was standing near the bassinet lovingly looking down at his son. The pain of losing stung like a razor's cut. And the blade just kept ripping. Suddenly she found herself standing over the wicker crib. Reaching in, she lifted him to her careful arms cradling his delicate head to her shoulder. He cooed. She found that she could no longer compose herself from the tears she so desperately tried to fight. Finally letting them fall, she could taste the salty tears rolling down her sullen face. She looked down at him when he made a delighted sound. Beautiful in her arms.
"You look just like him..." She said to the happy infant.
I can take the rain
On the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then
And I just let 'em out
It had been a year ago, they had defeated Naraku finally, but not without cost. He had died... in her bloodstained arms. It had taken all of the energy and life that he had inside of him to protect her. To save her from Naraku's final attempt to destroy her. The others could only look on in despair with a sympathetic solitude about them. They were surprised. She remembered.... His hand had reached up to her tearstained cheekbone. So sweetly.
"I love you, you know..." He had managed to say in a shaky breath. She clenched her eyes tightly as she reached her fingers to his hand.
"Please don't leave me here Inuyasha... I need you..." She brought his hand to her not yet growing abdomen. "We need you... please hold on..." His freed hand went behind her head bringing her into a weak kiss.
"I am always with you Kagome... but, I'm not going to make it this time..." he choked and drew in a quick breath. "Promise that you will go back ... to where... to where you are safe... to were you can keep our pup safe.... promise me Kagome." She simply lifted his head to her lap.
"I promise." She heard herself faintly mutter. Realizing his breathing had stopped she started to feel an urge to save him that she had never experienced. Seeking out Sesshoumaru, she got on her knees and begged him to save his brother. But it had been too late. Even Tensaiga could not save his already gone life.
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though, goin' on with you gone, still upsets me
There are days every now and again
I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me
Looking at her baby, she wondered what he would think. What kind of father would he have been had he gotten that chance? She wondered what it was going to be like to have to grow up without his father, when and how his Hanyou side would show up... Her tears had stopped falling as she realized he had fallen asleep. Gently, she laid him back into his crib and walked out. But not before throwing one more loving look towards him. She made her way to her room, and tried to close her eyes when she lay down. It proved impossible. The task just couldn't be done. She could not pause any thought of memory flow long enough to relax and achieve any level of peace or sleep. Her thoughts finally started to calm... drifting off to a single memory.... Just before they confronted that bastard Naraku.
They had been alone... she remembered. Up in that beautiful tree, the sun setting gently overcastting a golden glow over everything.
"Inuyasha, there's something that I need to say..." He cut her off with a frozen stare. He was looking knowingly into her eyes. It was that look he had gotten so many times before that used to freak her out.
"Hai Kagome... I know." He was silent.
"You know? Well... what do you know? I haven't said anything." He looked away, towards the golden horizon.
"About our pup." He said quietly to the sky. It had been odd to see Inuyasha so nonchalant, loving, so peaceful. It was out of character a bit, but not an annoyance by far. She had looked down before looking away opposite Inuyasha's direction. Tears started to swell in her eyes as she found it hard to breath. Had he been upset? Why isn't he saying anything? She had wondered. His hand grasped hers catching her off guard. Looking down at it, she let her gaze trail slowly reaching his face. Those beautiful amber eyes that were tearfully looking in ... to her own blurred ones made her heart stop momentarily. He grasped her other hand with his and turned her so her back was to him, pulling her close in an embrace. She had closed her eyes letting out a breath that she seemed to have been holding for an eternity.
What hurts the most
was being so close
and havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do
His head found rest a top her head and she could feel him take in a breath and kiss her softly. Tightening his embrace, she brought her crossed arms over his and pulled him even closer as she sank her body against his frame.
"I promise you Kagome... I will always protect you...our pup... No matter what that means. Even if I have to give my own life, you will be safe."
Reaching underneath the top of her nightgown, Kagome tugged at the thin gold chain and pulled the heart shaped locket into her hands. She remembered when she had given it to him all those years ago. It was hard to open, but she managed to pry the clamp open with one of her nails. The pictures inside took her back to a time before their first kiss, to a time before he had ever touched her the way he did. Back to his childish ways acting like a jerk even though he loved her... even then.
It's hard to deal with the pain
Of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile
When I see our old friends and I'm alone
Kagome thought of the day they buried Inuyasha near the very tree that they met. It was the day she left Kirara, Shippo, Sango and Miroku. It had been the second hardest day of her life to say goodbye to them. Inuyasha's death impacted them all pretty seriously and though it would have probably benefited to stay where there was understanding, she couldn't bring herself to look at them everyday. To do that... would be to remind her of all the times that they had had together. That had mattered then. She remembered that she wished that she could talk to Sango. She wished that she could have her there to help. She wished that she could stay. But she knew that it wasn't possible. She promised him that she would make sure he was safe. If she had stayed... that wouldn't have happened. Kagome went through her days as if she were robotic, she didn't talk to anyone, she didn't do well in school after that and when she started to show, she dropped out completely. There would be days where she would sit beneath the Goshinboku tree for hours talking to Inuyasha's makeshift grave. It would always hit her like a ton of bricks when she would come to the realization of how long that grave had been there, after all... the marker she had placed there was so faded she had to remark it. She had created a garden around the Goshinboku tree, surrounding his grave, as a small gift to him... or perhaps to save her own sanity. After a while, her grandfather died and her mother went to work for a company that she had dreamed of getting a job at for years. Kagome didn't know the name but Sota decided to tag along leaving the shrine and house to Kagome. She lived alone for most of that time, but one day, she was drawn to the well. She decided that she needed more help and friendship than she realized, that was the day she decided that she couldn't do this alone anymore. She needed her friends.
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away
All the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
In keeping her promise to Inuyasha,Sango and Miroku agreed that it would be different, but worth a shot to move in with Kagome...forever leaving the feudal era. They had adjusted to life there easier than expected and were even awaiting the birth of their daughter. Her thoughts drifted back to Inuyasha... her heart felt as though it had been squeezed tightly, her eyes were sore but she knew... that no matter what had happened... even though he wasn't there, she had to go on.
In the next room the baby cried. Kagome got up from her bed and walked into the room. Picking him up she noticed that he now had silver hair and dog-ears... just like his father.
"Oh, I know sweetie... you just aren't used to it yet... mommy is here for you. You know what would cheer you up? I do..." she said in a sweetly baby voice. "I'm going to tell you about the greatest man I have ever met... his name was Inuyasha... your daddy. And though you prolly won't understand anything I am telling you, I think its only fair that you know he is always with us. It all started one day when I was 15 years old...."
Not seein' that lovin' you
that's what I was trying to do
Oooo, Oooo, Oooo -
Author's note: yes.. i realize.. there are some fragments and spelling/gramical errors... dont comment me about them.. i apologize if it irked ya but It was just something that I did out of boredom today. This is my first Songfic...maybe my last one.. but i thought i would at least give it a go. again sorry about things worded wrong or sounding reallllly bad. Ive been busy but i wanted to post this idea when i had the chance.

Owens & Minor Inc. (OMI) named medical-device industry veteran Richard A. Meier as the medical-products distributor's chief financial officer about a year after his predecessor transitioned to the role of chief operating officer amid a slew of management changes.
Mr. Meier, 53 years old, served from 2010 to 2012 as chief financial officer at Teleflex Inc. (TFX) , a provider of specialty medical devices for a range of procedures in critical care and surgery. Prior to that he was chief operating officer at Advanced Medical Optics Inc. from 2007 to 2009, when the company was acquired by Abbott Laboratories (ABT) .
Last month Owens & Minor said its acting finance chief, D. Andrew Edward, would stepping down in early February to pursue a new career opportunity and would be replaced on an interim basis by the company's treasurer while the company continued its search for a permanent CFO. Mr. Edwards became interim CFO in February 2012, when James L. Bierman transitioned to the role of chief operating officer.
Shares closed Tuesday at $32.06 and were inactive in recent after-hours trading. The stock is up 12% this year.

Buying Time: Real and Hypothetical Offers
AbstractThis paper provides the results of a field test of contingent valuation estimates within a willingness to accept framework. Using dichotomous choice questions in telephone-mail-telephone interviews, we compare responses to real and hypothetical offers to survey respondents for the opportunity to spend time in a second set of interviews on an undisclosed topic. Five hundred and forty people were randomly split between the real and hypothetical treatments. Our findings indicate no significant differences between people's choices with real and hypothetical offers. Choice models indicate the size of the offer and income were significant determinants of respondents' decisions, and these models were not significantly different between real and hypothetical offers.

Death Notices, Articles Concerning Deaths and Obituaries from the Forres Gazette, 1837-1855A new publication from Moray & Nairn Family History Society
In 1837 there was no newspaper published in Forres, townspeople had to content themselves with newspapers from other parts of Scotland that might just contain small snippets of news local to Forres. Between Inverness and Aberdeen, the only local newspaper being published then seems to have been the Elgin Courant, which started in 1836.
John Miller moved from Elgin to Forres in 1837 to open there a printing establishment, and in June that year, announced a new newspaper, the Forres, Elgin & Nairn Gazette - still going strong in the town today as the Forres Gazette - as a monthly publication of only four pages. Only in 1851 was it published fortnightly, and weekly from April 1855.
Notices cover deaths in Forres, the rest of the county, throughout the country and even overseas. There are notices regarding the death of the illustrious, the well-known and the humble. The shortest may be from 1838 stating, "Died, at Elgin, last month, James Hay, Porter." The longest is probably that for the Rev Thomas Stark whose death is announced in early in 1849 and whose obituary occupies many columns of the next issue.

PhD's SchoolsGraduate-School.PhDs.org/education-index -- is a comprehensive and informative resource that systematically sorts out the available undergraduate and graduate programs available today in the U.S. This information is very valuable to students today who are not only dealing with the competitive nature of higher education, but also the rising costs of it.
1911 Census for ScotlandThe 1911 Census for Scotland taken on the the 2nd of April 1911, was
made available for Family historians on the 5th of April 2011. One
of the unique bits of information on the 1911 Census which has not been
seen on previous census is the Fertility information this shows for a
married couple the number of children both living and deceased from
that marriage. The pages have also been digatised in colour for the
first time, they became available from the 5th of April both at the
Family History centre in Edinburgh and on the Scotland's People web-
site.You cannot scroll through an entire district, only the enumeration
district, or institution you have gone into, whereas in previous census you
could go through an entire district by going forwards or backwards and paying
the appropriate number of credits. With this census you would have to find
an entry in each enumeration district and then go forwards or backwards. An
example would be Nairn Parish, which has 13 enumeration districts or Cawdor
Parish, which has 6. This is relevant to those persons doing local history projects
or for doing the history of a street where the street might fall within 2 enumeration
districts. The Free Headers will give you a description of the enumeration district
and can be found on page 2 of the header.

Spain will shift the burden of taxes onto consumption and reduce levies on employing workers in a plan to restart its economy by spurring exports, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said.
The government will raise indirect taxes such as those on sales, cigarettes and alcohol from next year as part of efforts to eliminate Spain's budget deficit by 2016, de Guindos said at a press conference in Madrid today. The plan will boost revenue by 8 billion euros ($10.6 billion) next year, he said.
The program comes at the end of a month that has seen Spanish bond yields rise above 6 percent for the first time since early December on concern that banking losses will swamp the public finances. Spanish unemployment, the highest in the European Union, rose to an 18-year high of 24.4 percent in the first quarter, data showed today. Standard & Poor's yesterday cut the nation's credit rating to three steps away from junk.
"We are living through perhaps one of the hardest moments for the Spanish economy," Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said after the weekly Cabinet meeting. "The program contains the necessary measures to achieve the deficit goal this country has set itself."
Campaign Pledge
The ruling People's Party, in power since December, had pledged during the election campaign not to raise sales tax. The U-turn follows measures announced on Dec. 30 to increase personal income-tax rates, when the government also created a new threshold for high earners.
Bank of Spain Governor Miguel Angel Fernandez Ordonez said on April 17 that additional permanent tax measures may have to be taken for Spain to meet its deficit targets, citing indirect taxation as the tool that would least distort growth. French President Nicolas Sarkozy has also increased value-added tax and cut social-security charges to bolster exports.
Shifting the tax burden towards consumption and away from labor costs may help Spain recover the competitiveness it lost since during the euro. The economy, which had a 10 percent current-account deficit at the peak of its debt-fueled property boom, will show a surplus from next year, de Guindos said.
Benefits Fraud
The Cabinet also approved a plan to crack down on benefits fraud. The government will step up inspections to avoid people claiming jobless benefits while working in the informal economy and toughen penalties for fraudsters.
The PP government, which controls 11 of the 17 regions and secured the biggest parliamentary majority any Spanish party has won since 1982, also plans to merge some of the country's 8,000 municipalities to save costs. It will present a plan to sell state-owned assets and take measures to boost growth such as extending shop-opening hours.
Spain forecast a primary surplus, with revenue exceeding all costs except interest payments, in 2013 and targeted an overall budget balance in 2016, compared with a deficit target of 5.3 percent this year. Government debt as a proportion of gross domestic product will peak next year at 82.3 percent and fall to 80.8 percent in 2015.
Economic expansion will accelerate from 0.2 percent next year to 1.4 percent in 2014 and 1.8 percent in 2015, the government said. Export growth will reach 8 percent in 2015 from 3.5 percent this year.

Xbox 360 Gets Modern Warfare 2 Hardware Bundle, Introduces 250GB Hard DrivesMicrosoft and Activision have partnered to bundle a $400 "limited edition" Xbox 360 console with two wireless controllers and a copy of Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
The revelation came tonight during an Activision event meant to let attendees play the game's multiplayer component for the first time.
The consoles will come bundled with a 250GB HDD--a new size for the Xbox 360, the largest yet-- and will also sport a specialized CoD-themed paint job. Pre-orders are apparently already open in the US, with other regions coming later in the week.
As for the game itself, the bundle packs the "standard edition" of Modern Warfare 2.
Modern Warfare 2 hits PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 10, with these limited edition bundles unsurprisingly hitting the same day. In addition to the new bundle, Xbox 360 will receive the game's first two map packs before any other platform.

Obama must lead on climate change
In your editorial on Doha's failure ("Global climate talks stall — again," Dec. 11), you wrote: "The people who went to the polls last month knew which candidate favored stronger action in this arena and voted for him." We voted for President Barack Obama to set sane energy policies, rational environmental policies and logical fiscal policies. Until the House is ready to present him with the sensible fiscal legislation he wants, President Obama should ignore fiscal issues and focus on educating the public on the energy and environmental legislation needed to slow climate change.
