Jimmy Smits: Cyrus Garza
David Ramsay: Al Druzinsky
Ellen Woglom: Mereta Sprows
Carly Pope: Lucinda Pearl
Jesse Bradford: Eddie Franks
Jimmy Smits stars in the NBC drama "Outlaw," portraying former Supreme Court Justice Cyrus Garza, a playboy and a gambler who always adhered to a strict interpretation of the law until he realized the system he believed in was flawed. Now, he's quit the bench and returned to private practice. Determined to do things his way, Garza uses his inside knowledge of the justice system to take on today's biggest legal cases, and he's making plenty of powerful people unhappy along the way. Smits serves as a co-executive producer on the show.
Proving that versatility is as important as skill in the acting profession, Smits has built a career that allows him to move effortlessly between film, television and stage. The Emmy- and Golden Globe Award-winning actor continues to effectively navigate towards his goal of making quality television and film.
Smits also co-stars in Rodrigo Garcia's feature film "Mother and Child," in the role of Paco, a patient and caring man who sees through the tough exterior of Annette Bening's character, Karen. Smits also recently narrated the PBS documentary series "Latin Music USA," which provides the audience with a compelling look at the fusion of Latin sounds with jazz, rock, country, rhythm and blues - essentially a comprehensive view of American musical history, reaching across time and across musical genres to embrace the exciting hybrid sounds created by Latinos.
Smits has enjoyed an exemplary television career. In 2009, Smits finished a guest-starring stint in Season 3 of Showtime's hit series "Dexter," where his critically acclaimed portrayal of Assistant District Attorney Miguel Prado was recognized with an Emmy nomination - his 12th - for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, as well as an Imagen Award nomination. In 2008, Smits' El Sendero Productions company co-executive produced the series "Cane," in which he also starred. The show was critically acclaimed for its cutting-edge, dramatic reflection of the family dynamic within a modern-day Cuban-American family. In 2006, Smits completed his role in the long-running and critically acclaimed NBC series "The West Wing." As President Matthew Santos, Smits brought to the show his own infusion of energy and added even more depth to the well-written and politically relevant plotline. Smits was also seen in HBO's multiple award-winning television movie "Lackawanna Blues," George C. Wolfe's colorful tale of boarding house life, love and blues in 1950s New York. Smits has also hosted PBS' "A Capitol Fourth," a live concert event on the Capitol lawn, for the last three years. Other television credits include "The Broken Cord," "The Tommyknockers," "The Cisco Kid," and "Marshal Law."
He received six consecutive Emmy nominations for his role as Victor Sifuentes on "L.A. Law," winning the Emmy in 1990, and also five Emmy nominations for his role as Bobby Simone on the critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning drama "NYPD Blue," and one nomination for his role as Miguel Prado on Showtime's "Dexter." Additionally, he received an ALMA Award and an Imagen Award for Best Actor in "West Wing," four Golden Globe nominations - winning as Actor in a Leading Role, Drama Series, in 1996 for his role in "NYPD Blue" – and eight SAG Award nominations. The episode featuring his highly touted departure from "NYPD Blue" also won the Humanitas Award.
Smits' film work includes Peter Hyams' "Running Scared" with Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal; John Schlesinger's "The Believers"; "Old Gringo" with Gregory Peck and Jane Fonda; Blake Edwards' comedy "Switch"; and the critically acclaimed "My Family/Mi Familia," directed by Gregory Nava, for which he received an IFP Spirit Award nomination. Smits' later works include Carlos Ávila's "Price of Glory"; Chuck Russell's thriller "Bless the Child"; George Lucas' "Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones" and "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith"; Robin Swicord's "The Jane Austen Book Club"; and "El Traspatio (Backyard)," directed by Carlos Carrera.
Smits has a special fondness for the theater, having been born close to Broadway, the home of New York theatre. His introduction to acting was the theater, and it always calls to his heart to return home. He most recently starred on Broadway in the critically acclaimed hit "God of Carnage" (2009), but this was not his first foray in the theatre. In 2004, he starred as the romantic new arrival in a Cuban-American cigar factory in Nilo Cruz's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Anna in the Tropics," preceded by New York Public Theatre's Shakespeare in the Park presentations of "Much Ado About Nothing" (2004) and "Twelfth Night" (2002), as well as a number of off-Broadway and regional theatre productions. Taking his dedication to the arts to the next level, he is also an active member of the New York Public Theater's Board of Directors.
In his free time, Smits has involved himself in various charitable organizations over the years, and has consistently been a strong advocate for education. In 1997, he co-founded the National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts (NHFA), along with actors Esai Morales and Sonia Braga, and Washington attorney Felix Sanchez to promote Hispanic talent in the performing arts. The organization, which just celebrated its 13th anniversary, offers graduate scholarships and cash grants at prominent colleges and universities in order to expand career opportunities and increase access for Hispanic artists and professionals while fostering the emergence of new Hispanic talent. Other organizations Smits is involved with include Red Cross, New York Cares, Colorectal Cancer, St. Jude's Foundation, The Fulfillment Fund, United Way and more.
A second-generation American, Smits is a native of Brooklyn and traces his roots to Puerto Rico, as well as Surinam, South America, on his mother's and father's sides of the family respectively.

"An Embarrassment of Conditions": Selective Knowledge Production Through Two Collections of Pomo Baskets
My project contrasts two collections of Pomo baskets ca.1900 and examines how the class, gender and ambitions of the collectors Ella F. Hubby and J.W. Hudson influenced Smithsonian curatorial interpretation.
As a student of Hawaiian History and a kanaka maoli (Native Hawaiian), I applied to SIMA in the hope that participation in the program would allow me to explore Museum Anthropology as a means to incorporate indigenous epistemologies into an existing historiography that largely ignores Hawaiian perspectives and voice. SIMA certainly presented me with this opportunity; I was able to access the Smithsonian's vast repositories of Hawaiian material objects and corresponding archival records in ways that were personally and culturally significant to me. In fact, one of the hardest things for me to deal with during the program was trying to resist researching everything! That is not to say that SIMA was all research; some of my best memories of the program come from time spent outside the collections exploring DC with my fellow participants. The weeks I had at SIMA felt far too short, and I know that everything I learned in the program will have a lasting impact in my work.
-Holly Coleman
MA Student , History
University of Hawai`i at Mānoa
As a PhD student preparing my dissertation proposal, I looked to SIMA for a chance to strengthen my museum skills before going into the field, a forum to discuss my work with scholars from other institutions and disciplines, and an opportunity to receive additional feedback on writing proposals and applying for funding. The program exceeded my expectations on all counts. The total immersion experience of SIMA - attending seminars with so many expert lecturers and immediately putting that information to use in the collections - is an amazing way to grow quickly as a researcher. The one-on-one and small-group access to faculty was incredible, and their insight and guidance has been helpful to the larger scope of my research as well as to my SIMA project. My fellow SIMA participants have also become good resources and friends, and I'm delighted to be part of the network that has formed as a result of the program. SIMA was possibly the most intense and productive month I have spent during my graduate school career, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Three months later I was awarded a travel grant to continue the next phase of the research into prayer rugs and their collectors that I began during SIMA, and I can't wait to continue the project I've started!
-Suzanne Godby Ingalsbe
PhD Student, Folklore and Ethnomusicology
Indiana University
As a doctoral student entering the dissertation phase of my degree, I applied to SIMA to learn about approaches to material culture that might help me think through problems and concerns I had about my own research on early twentieth century Onkwehonwe material culture and identity. And since there weren' t many other students at my university interested in working with museum collections, I also hoped SIMA would offer me a chance to meet other students with projects similar to mine, with whom I could discuss issues related to museum anthropology. I was pleased to find the sort of scholarly community I was looking for at SIMA -- both through meeting other students from universities across the United States and Hawaii, as well through the seminars and one-on-one mentorship offered by the participating professors. Certainly, the more formal training in museums offered by SIMA have strengthened my skills as a researcher, but it was the relationships I formed through SIMA which were most influential in encouraging me to grow intellectually.
-Stacey Loyer
PhD Student, Cultural Mediations (Institute of Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture)
Carleton University
I came to my doctoral studies with a strong interest in material culture as well as experience working in museums. However, as I neared the dissertation stage, I was uncertain how to translate my interest in material culture and museums into a fundable dissertation using the objects held in museums as evidence. I also wanted to improve my understanding of methodologies for the study of objects. My dissertation proposal is now much stronger due to what I learned at SIMA, and I received helpful advice that will help me to apply for dissertation funding. I also really appreciated how welcoming, helpful, and generous with their time that all the Smithsonian staff members and the SIMA faculty members were. Furthermore, I greatly benefited from interactions with SIMA's guest instructors, who were from both the university and museum worlds. Finally, I worked with a wonderful group of fellow student participants from a variety of disciplines who will be my future colleagues in material culture studies and I look forward to future collaborations with them.
Jodine Perkins
PhD Student, Folklore and Ethnomusicology
Indiana University
Participating in the SIMA program has been one of the best educational experiences I have ever had. Try to imagine material culture/museum studies boot camp! The resources that we had available to us were unbelievable - about a quarter million objects in the ethnology collection alone, the accession files (watch out for Victor J.), the National Anthropological Archives, the Smithsonian Archives, tours of the various research facilities, guest lecturers from around the globe, more time in the collections and archives than most researchers, all the while being guided and enthusiastically supported not only by a great faculty, but by almost everyone you come in contact with throughout the Smithsonian. This experience made the abstract theory tangible and I was able to see the potential for incorporating material culture/museum research into my dissertation.
-Clark Sage
PhD Student , Anthropology
Indiana University
My dissertation research is on interactions between museums and local communities in Oakland, CA, and I applied to SIMA to learn different methodological approaches to object-based research for my fieldwork. It was instrumental in teaching me methodologies that will be useful in object interpretation, curatorial analysis, and archival research. It also focused on professionalization in useful ways, specific to the field of material culture studies, including writing successful grants, publishing your article or presenting at conferences. It was an intense but very worthwhile experience!

Dasaolu puts down a marker
9:00am Wednesday 16th May 2012 in Athletics By Graham Moody, Sports Reporter
James Dasaolu sent a message to the rest of Great Britain's sprinters on Sunday by becoming the first to run the Olympic 100m A standard in 2012.
The 24-year-old Croydon Harrier put himself at the front of the queue for selection by matching the 10.18 second qualification mark as he won a meeting in France – his first competitive race of the year.
It means a top-two finish at the Olympic trials in Birmingham next month will guarantee injury-plagued Dasaolu, who raced just twice in 2011, a place on the start line in Stratford.
"It was a relief to get the A standard, but I pretty much expected to," said Dasaolu, who ran 10.30 in the heats in Montgeron.
"I opened up last season by running an A standard so expected to do that again and thankfully I did.
"I am just happy to be in one piece and to get my season started.
"Not many athletes get a chance to compete at a home Olympics so it is exciting but you have to train and stay focused as much as possible, and try to do everything normally.
"I am not looking to do too many races leading up to the trials, maybe one or two at the end of May or early June, as I don't want to risk injury again."
Dasaolu's injury-plagued 2011 saw him dropped from the UK Athletics funding list for 2012, something he insists spurs him on to prove his doubters wrong.
"In Olympic year it is quite difficult when your Federation don't think you are good enough for the Olympics," he added.
"But I want to prove that they were wrong "Andy Turner, Will Sharman and Leon Baptiste had their best years when their funding was cut.
"It does not define how successful you are as a British athlete."
Fellow Harrier Martyn Rooney ran his second sub-45 second 400m of the season in the Diamond League in Doha on Friday.
The 2008 Olympic finalist came fourth in 44.99, eight tenths behind LaShawn Merritt who ran a world leading 44.19 – the fastest time in two years.

What Is a Y-Splitter Cable:
A Y-splitter cable is a cable used for connecting one electronics device to two other separate devices or components. This type of cable get its name from the side of the cable that connect two components, which resembles the letter Y. There are various kinds of Y-splitter cables, which can used for everything from connecting devices such as iPods to home stereos to connecting two separate computer monitors to a single PC.
- One fairly common type of audio Y-splitter cable is the cable that iPods users can use to connect their iPods or MP3 players to a home stereo system. This type of cable typically has a miniplug that attaches to the iPod's headphone jack, with a double-sided RCA-style cable that plugs into the back of the home stereo.
- Another type of audio Y-splitter cable is designed to connect two sets of headphones to one single stereo system or MP3 player. This allows two people to hear the same audio source together.
- For people who own camcorders, there is a special cable that connects to the camcorder that can then be plugged into a TV set. This type of cable usually has a single-sided connector that branches into a "Y" side that connects to the back or side of the TV.
Computer Monitor
- A computer monitor Y-splitter cable is designed with a single input on one side that connects to a PC "Monitor Out" jack and a double-sided output connector that can be hooked up to two separate monitors. Though not as common as Y-splitter cables used for audio and video applications, these types of cables can often found hooked up to computers in many home and office environments.
- An audio-video Y-splitter cable is designed to carry both audio and video signals, and is used to connect such things as cable TV boxes or digital video recorder boxes to television sets.
How to Use a Dual Video Monitor VGA Y-Splitter Cable:
- Turn off the power of both your TV and the other monitor. Make sure both sets are unplugged from their outlets for safety reasons
- Attach one end of the Y-splitter cable to the back of your TV screen. Use the main or single end of the cable, which is color-coded to match the port at the back of the TV screen
- Attach the other end of the Y-splitter cable to the back of the second monitor. Use one of the two remaining free ends, which are also color-coded to match the port on your second monitor
- Plug your TV in first and then the other monitor, and switch on the power buttons of both sets
- Observe if there are identical images on both screens. Expect the image quality of either or both the TV and monitor to be a little more rough and shadowy than usual. Remember that the signal is being halved toward each output. The image quality should remain sharp when you use only one monitor at a time
Package Included:
- 1 x Audio Cable

THE MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., NOVEMBER 8, 1935 N*o. 7 Volume XHI LAW SCHOOL STUDENTS FORM CLUB Committee Sets Year's Second Student Dance for November 16 TO BE HELD AT TIP TOP II OF ROOSEVELT HOTEL Dance Will Start at ? Nine and Continue Until One; Joseph Salvaggio and His Orchestra To Furnish the Music. "Put on your old grey bonnet" or "bring out that old silver goblet—whichever ditty you choose —but be there. It's the second student dance of the year on Saturday, November 16, and the boys are rushing the gals to be sure they have dates for the fling. The season is on and the committee " promises a whoopee-ing good party.The place for the toe-wiggling Ms the Tip Top Inn of the Roosevelt hotel and the boys who are going to supply that toe-tickling music are Joe Salvaggio's orchestra. In order to let the students get more sleep than usual and make an earlier Mass than 11:30, the dance will be from 9 to 1. The last one was from 10 to 2 but that was at the beginning of the year when the boys could do with less sleep. Things are tougher now and the shut-eye comes in handy. Martin Jarreau, chairman of the dance committee, says that it's going to be an affair you won't want to miss, and judging from previous dances, Jarreau can't be far wrong. The invites are on the campus now and if you want to be gssured of a good time see any of me following committeemen right lD away for your bid: Henry Beter, Tom Dunn, Guy Knobloch, Jr., Irvin Timmreck, * Richard Wright, Abvam Diaz, Stephen Rodi, Edward Cambre, John Hildebrand, Julius Meyer, and John Blasi. CONSTITUTION ADOPTED AND OFFICERS NAMED THURSDAY Lawrence F. Babst Is - Chosen President; Amann, Vice - President; Montet, Secretary; Lazarus, Treasurer. A new professional organization, the Law Club of Loyola University, has been formed on the campus, according to an announcement made by Paul M. Hebert, dean of the school of law. The purpose of the new organization is to stimulate interest in the further study of law, to afford an opportunity to students for special research on legal subjects, and to form a closer bond of friendship among the students of the school of law. At the first meeting of the organization held yesterday a constitution was adopted, and the following officers were elected: Lawrence F. Babst, senior, president; Joseph Amann, Jr., junior, vice-president; Carroll Montet, senior, secretary; Carlos Lazarus, junior, treasurer; Stephen B. Rodi, freshman, parliamentarian; and Charles Cabibi, senior, sergeantat-arms.The membership will be composed of both active and honorary members. All duly enrolled students of the school of law may become active members, and the organization may elect to honorary membership men of the legal profession and of the faculty of Loyola university. "The club will fill a great need in the school of ;?w in furnishing a medium for the law students to engage in extra-curricular work of a legal nature," Dean Hebert said. "Considerable emphasis is being placed on student organizations in the law schools throughout the country, many of the schools forming student bar associations' for the purpose of interesting students in the benefits derived from professional work. The Law Club of Loyola will attempt to carry on work of a nature similar to these bar associations." Dean Hebert has appointed Professor Antonio E. Papale, professor of common law in the Loyola university school of law, as moderator of the new organization. Debate Society Names 2 Teams Two sets of debate teams for . intra-Hoclety contests were selected by the Edward Douglas White Debating Society at its last meeting "Tuesday night, November 5. *The- first team, comprising Marshall Tullier and Robert P. Morrow on the affirmative side, James Salvant and David Kattan on the negative side, will formally discuss "Resolved: that the several states should enact legislation for compulsory unemployment insurance." This debate will be conducted at the next regular meeting of the society, Tuesday, November 12 at 8 p. m. The second team, with Stephen ♦B. Rodi and Alton Deßlanc on the affirmative and John J. McCann and Thomas Dunn, negative, will be featured at the succeeding meeting, Tuesday, November 19 at 8 P. M. Their topic will be a PI Kappa Delta Question—"Re- "Resolved: that Congress should have the power to over-ride by a twothirds majority vote decisions of ''the Supreme Court declaring laws passed by Congress unconstitutional."A standing committee comprising Thomas Dunn, J. Finjey Lee, and A. J. O'Donnell, with the pow-6r to choose debate topics in conjunction with the president and moderator of the organization, was appointed. Lay Faculty Pledges Open Chest Drive With the pledges of the lay faculty already turned into the office of the Rev. P. A. Roy, S. J., chairman, the campus drive of the Community Chest got underway this week. Students of the university will make their contributions following a general convocation on Wednesday, November 13, at 11 a. m. in Holy Name of Jesus auditorium. Members of the Faculty and the student council, which is sponsoring the drive, will outline the purposes to the students at this assembly. Envelopes will be distributed Wednesday and collected Thursday. Citizens of New Orleans are being asked to contribute $710,000 to the campaign of the Community Chest which began November 4 and will continue until November 27. This amount was set by the Chest board to meet requirements of the fifty-four member agencies in 1936. It represents a twenty percent increase over the amount raised by the Chest for this year. The increase is needed to rebuild crippled budgets of the agencies and to enable them to meet additional demands anticipated from withdrawal of the federal government from the relief field. Voluntary workers under Warren Kearny, chairman, are seeking the donations of individuals and business concerns throughout the city. A special committee under John M. Taylor, president of the Association of Commerce, is soliciting adequate donations with out-of-town headquarters doing business in New Orleans. It is hoped by the committee that the amount contributed this year will surpass that of last year.

Winter, who last night succeeded Dr . Frank M. Casto as president of the American Dental Association which concludes its 77th annual session today, complimented the Loyola school of dentistry and Dr. C. V. Vignes, dean, on the fine work both have done for the profession and stated "the future for dental students at the present time is as good, if not better, than any other profession." Dr. Winter, who received his D. D. S. degree from St. Louis university, is a member of Psi Omega, national dental fraternity, which has a chapter on the Loyola campus. He said that the New Orleans convention, although not over until tonight, Is already a wonderful success; he also said that he likes New Orleans a great deal ,and offers for proof the fact that he has visited In the city iractically every winte.- for the past 25 years. At the present time, Dr. Winter practices and resides n St. Louis. A man about 50 years of age, 'George", as he is familiarly called around the convention, presents the appearance of a typical poctor. He has done much for his profession, and is now recognised by all who know him :is "tops." "There has been more real research and scientific work done in dentistry in the last three or four years than ever iiefore," he remarked as he donr. Mi the trousers of his tuxedo, preparing for one of his numerous public appearances, which have kept him in the limelight throughout the convention. He added that this great step forward was because thC dentist has had more time to giv. to type of work due to the e'tmomic conditions.. "That dentistry plays an im Horned Frog Coaches coacHas meyez. wo yvo/-/= Horned Frogs Will Flash Aerial Attack on Wolves Sam Baugh Will Lead Air Attack Of T. C. U. By TOM W. DUNN Prepared to flash one of the trickiest aerial circuses against the Wolves to be seen on a local gridiron this season, the T. C. U. Horned Frogs arrived in New Orleans yesterday morning and worked out under the lights at Loyola Stadium last night. Under the direction of Coaches "Dutch" Meyer and "Bear" Wolf, the Horned Frogs 28 strong, packed their duffle-bags last Wednesday afternoon and boarded the train for the Crescent City to meet the Wolves tonight. One of strongest opponents for Pack The invading Frogs who match wits with the Wolves tonight have the largest squad that the Wolves will meet this season. The Purple and White T. C. U. forward wall will weigh in at slightly less than 200 pounds per man while their backs will average about 185 each. The Horned Frogs have demonstrated their strength seven times already this season and in these seven games have piled up 169 points to 39 for their opponents.Three Southwestern Conference Teams Defeated Among the seven victories chalked up by the Horned Frogs, using the double wingback, three of these were against their Southwestern Conference rivals. The Frogs opened with Howard Payne and downed the Yellowjackets by a 41-0 count and took the Denton Teachers 28-11 the following week. The next encounter with Arkansas netted the Frogs a 13-7 victory and they pulled another out of the fire the following week when they outscored Tulsa university in Tulsa by a 13-0 count. Meeting Texas A. & M. as their second conference opponents, the Frogs turned back the cadets in a 19-14 thriller and the following week walloped the Centenary Gents 27-7. Against Baylor, in their third conference go, the Frogs cut loose with a flashy pass attack that netted them 28 points to 0 for the Bears. Towering T.C.U. Forward Wall The Horned Frog forward wall is led. by their 1935 captainrDarrell Lester, who won all-American mention last season. He is flanked by the 190-pound, 6-foot Wilbur Harrison and Tracy Kellow, 180, who stands 5'11". At the tackle posts Coach Meyer will start Drew Ellis, 200-yound six-footer, and Wilson Groseclose, who stands 6'2" and tips the scales at 220- Night Sodality for Men Names Officers Officers were elected in the Night men's sodality at their monthly business meeting Sunday at 9 a. m., according to the Rev. S. H. Ray, S. J., dean of men. The new leaders are Al McGinty, prefect; Harold Crosby, vice-prefect; Edward Haggerty, secretary"; and Charles Thomas, treasurer. The election was preceded by a spiritual meeting in Thomas D.all chapel. The junior and senior and law school sodalities will meet today. The arts and science group will conduct a program on the Mexican situation at 11 a. m. in Marquette auditorium. The lawyers will hold their spiritual meeting at 7 a. m. in Thomas Hall chapel followed by a varied program at 8 a. m. in Bobet hall. The pharmacy men and sophomore sodalities held programs on the question of communism at their meetings yesterday. The sophomore sodality also discussed plans for the distribution of baskets at Thanksgiving and of clothes at Christmas. The dental sodality will hold a spiritual meeting Sunday at 8:30 a. m. in Thomas Hall chapel followed by a business meeting at 9:30 a. m. in the office of the dean of men. The pharmacy-music sodality will hold their spiritual meeting Monday at 8:30 a. m. followed by a breakfast to welcome the new candidates. Old Prescriptions Written on Cards, Diaries, Museum Shows To most people a pharmaceutical prescription is something serious, but ancient ones in a museum can be amusing. Among the treasures of the Loyola school of pharmacy museum there s a musty time-aged leather bound ledger containing approximately fifteen hundred prescriptions. To the pharmacy student they are a source of knowledge. But even to the future druggists they are a source of interest and amusement. Who would have thought that the "deuce" was running wild among the South Louisiana doctors in the middle half of the nineteenth century? Yet there are prescriptions to prove it. Many of the aged doses were written on the faces of playing cards. Perhaps hurrying off from his little game of poker and rushing to a dying palfient he carried off his hand of/the cards. And when he reached into his pocket found that the only stationery was the remnant of his poker game. On this he prescribed. Just a few outstanding prescription blanks are: wrapping paper, stationery plain and engraved, torn pages of ancient diaries (1840 and 1860), and the margins of printed pages. On one occasion the attending physician must have attended a party since he prescribed on the back of a place-card. Such prescriptions show the alertness and rapidity with which doctors of fifty years ago moved. Of the variety of medicinal orders found in fifteen hundrefl prescriptions, one looked appetizing and probably was frequently refilled. A glance at what it contained would inspire anyone to become sick. Quote: Take a wine bottle of ordinary whiskey, two tablespoons of p-lo gum and 100 drops oil of creosote, rub the oil Tug-o- War Is Won By Sophs; Debate Is Next The sophomore class took the lead in the annual Hausmann trophy contest by winning the tug-o-war, first event in the series of five, friday night during the half of the Loyola-Centenary game. The sophomores had no difficulty out-pulling a light but scrappy freshman team. With 20 men on each side, the contest lasted but five minutes. The freshman class went over the 50-yard line and through a belt line of the sophomores. Thomas W. Dunn, chairman of the Hausmann trophy contest committee, was in charge. The second event in the contest will be a debate between the members of the two classes. Two representatives will be chosen from each, but they have not been named as yet. Subject for the debate has not been decided upon, Dunn said. The debate will take place during the early part of December.Spanish Debate Is Won by Affirmative The affirmative won the second in a series of Spanish Club debates held Monday morning in Marquette hall under the direction of Miss Jessie Montejo, moderator. The question was "Resolved: That the future prosperity of the port of New Orleans depends upon the trade of the Latin-American countries." The affirmative was upheld by Jacob Haney, Henry Waguespack, and John Screen. Joseph Ridolfo, Richard O'Donnell, and John W. Leßlanc defended the negative. Harry Bngler acted as chairman and Miss. Montejo as judge. Haney was voted the best speaker. After this series of debates '.s completed, the best speakers will be chosen to represent their class in the proposed freshman-sophomore debate, date for which has not been announced. Spanish club members will take part in an Ursuline play scheduled for the latter part of this month. French Club To Stage 2 Plays Two one-act plays, "La Palx Chez Soi", and "Le Souffleur," will be staged by the French Club on December 18, it was announced Wednesday, by Prof. Antonio E. Papale, moderator. The date is tentative. The casts for the plays are as follows: 'La Paix Chez Soi' Trielle Julien Michel Valentine _ Marie Tlierese Villere 'Le Souffleur' Eugene " Robert A.

Award Winning Work
Barneys New York selected NorthPark Center in Dallas for a Texas flagship store. The 90,000sf space spans two levels and was gutted and built back with wool carpets, custom elevators, intricate ceiling details, and a unique blackened steel rail stair finished with rough-cut oak wood treads. A large amount of custom millwork and fixtures, including in-store kiosks, wrap-around cosmetic casework, specialty millwork and cash wraps, were installed. New infrastructure systems were installed as well as 30 inch steel beams for the upper floor. The store exterior was designed by renowned artist John-Paul Phillippe and includes a cantilevered steel awning that pops in Barneys "red," with sculptural steel and glass for the stores dramatic 30ft x 35ft entrance. The store is an interior showplace winning several awards including:
- Best Retail Design of the Year, 2006 Chain Store Age
- Best Exterior Design, 2006 Chain Store Age
- Best Design of Soft Lines Store Greater than 15,000sf, 2006 Chain Store Age
Barneys New York required many custom-made and imported items which made preconstruction particularly important. The store contains 12 departments with their own unique design and fixtures. The flooring differed in each department from rich end-grain oak to limestone floor tiles with mosaic inserts. Our staff worked closely with the design and ownership teams to provide budget information, constructability details and life cycle cost analysis for selected materials on schedule sequencing. This detailed preconstruction coordination aided in maintaining the construction schedule.

Simply Organic Garlic Powder -- 3.64 oz
Great flavor
A great product, with a great taste and a good price $$$.
October 27, 2013
Simply Organic is the best!
I have ordered several of the Simply Organic spices/herbs and all of them have been outstanding. Always fresh with superior taste. Their garlic is no exception! I've already used three bottles of it and would recommend it to anyone! Besides, the bottles themselves are lovely and useful for other things when they are empty! Very sturdy.
July 23, 2013
Good taste!
It's organic. Comes in nice size glass bottles. Useful to add to meals for a little extra flavor.
June 7, 2013
Very Tasty
Strong garlic taste, which does not get 'watered down' when an added ingredient in a recipe.
Primarily, I use it as a component in a seasoning mix, which also incorporates black pepper, cumin, oregano and some other properties. Also egg omelets.
All of my herbs and spices are Simply Organic or Frontier (same company as S.O.)

Yes, I love Vector Targeting
Now that there is a new type of targeting in the game, with Zephyrs wind blast, Click and Drag (Vector Targeting).
I think that we should have more skills and items that use this type of targeting, since it is totaly fun to use and adds a new element and "feel" to the way the game is played.
The Tablet of Command is a very cool and unique item that is hardly ever used infact it is in the bottom 5 of items used in the game.
The Tablet of Command should be remade so that it uses vector targeting and pushes the hero in the direction that you click and drag.
Tablet of command could be upgraded to make the click and drag targeting.
Perhaps tablet of command + minor totem + recipe = new tablet of command that you click and drag your target!
Last edited by Yzorderex; 02-12-2010 at 04:10 PM.
this is a great idea, but may make the item so good that it would need to cost more, need nerfing etc.
Great idea. Tableting allies and enemies is currently way too unreliable, this would provide an easy fix.
The item is already good as it is, I'm thinking this might make it TOO good. Increasing the cost wouldn't really fix that problem. Possibly increasing mana cost, cooldown or something similar.
Otherwise cool idea!
I like vector, but that's kind of op.
Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a night. Set a man on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Naturally the item could be tweeked to have it cost/cd/mana to make it more appropreate for the effect.
Just vote for the idea and the rest can be adjusted in the end.
It's fine the way it is. Tablet is not just a lolz-push stick, but its a great early game item full of awesome stats for heroes with low utility or escape mechanisms (). If this was buffed the recipe price would go up for sure and defeat the purpose of getting the item. Granted if it was buffed it would have a new purpose.
Yea, but numbers would have to be reviewed. 500 range knockback casted on distance is pretty strong.
So, you want an item that is the same as Gust?
Sounds like a lame remake.
I like the idea - I don't see how it's like gust, this is single target ally or foe.
I also hope they do it like in DoTA where if you double click it pushes yourself - that would help a lot if this was added for when you want to use it for a quick leap.
(Special thanks to roflwtfbbq and AvunaOs for the sweet sigs!)
Rampage Changes
Chaos Sorcerer [Intelligence Ranged]
Ravener [Agility Ranged]
Honestly it shouldnt be nerfed at all if it is changed like that, what makes gust even stronger is the fact that it stuns....Great idea

Reviews of Chili Mango Jelly Beans - 16 oz
One of the street foods throughout Latin America is fresh mango with a sprinkling of spicy chili. The fusion of heat with the sweet fruit now comes in Chili Mango Jelly Belly jelly beans! The sweet and spicy flavor is made with real cayenne pepper, paprika and mango juice.... read more about Chili Mango Jelly Beans - 16 oz
Comments: I love the initial sweet taste of the mango and then the slight kick from the chili. Wish it had a little more kick to it, but all in all a great combination that keeps me coming back to it. |
Comments: I eat them they taste great they make your throat feel good when it's sore what else can I say but buy them...now |
Comments: This would be good for a poker game as a party treat |
Comments: I use it between meals to curb my hunger. when eating it I felt like i was in an exotic Island only I and my Mango Hotty Tango. |
Comments: REAL GOOD |
Comments: Hello I'm a food specialist Emma Stuart, I love Jelly Bellys and am a huge fan. I check your website daily for new flavors then overnight send them to my office for a taste test.Then I usually put them in my waiting room for cilents to try. I tried them and thought that the were rather tangy and that it was an awkward combonation. My cilents agree. So I just wnted to vent my feelings out to you and let you I am very disapointed in you. Sincerly, Emma Stuart |
Comments: Its very unntatural to have chili in mangoes! Anyone who knows and likes to eat it, they know that is should be its sweet flavor only. Chili..., c'mon!!! |
Comments: Great balance of sweet and spice. Love savory Jelly bellies and this one is great!Keep up the good work R and D department! |
Comments: It is a different way of snacking. Waking up the senses is a sure thing. You feel like you are in an island eating the exotic fruits while sucking into them. The metabolism just goes wild. It makes you want to surf the tide!! |
Comments: They use red pepper powder in this not the chili like the name implies. This leaves the spice being more then you thought it was going to be. |
Comments: This flavor is a pleasant surprise! At first, you're thinking, "Oh, how sweet and calming." Then, all of a sudden--SHAZAM! The spicy jumps up and startles your taste buds. The combination of these two flavors sends your mouth into a frenzy and Chili Mango is now your favorite Jelly Belly flavor. Nicely done. |
Comments: Gave as a gift ... then bought some of my own. |
Comments: Love this flavor. Takes one of my favorite flavors and adds a new twist to it. Definitely would recommend anyone who likes the Mango Jelly Belly flavor to try this out. |
Comments: The tip-of-the-tongue first taste of the mango, and then BAM the surprise ending of the chili. I guess I'll need to order 50# next time. |
Comments: The taste of the jalapeno was simple, true flavor with heat |

In the Age of Spaceplanes
Stories from the shuttle astronauts, in their own words.
- By The Editors
- AirSpaceMag.com, November 18, 2010
Somebody else's house
Pam Melroy
When I flew on STS-92, there was no crew living onboard the station yet. We opened the hatch, kind of threw our stuff in, and hung out like it was a hotel room we were visiting. It was our space. We could do whatever we wanted, because nobody lived there. But then on STS-112 and –120, I was visiting somebody else's house. So all those little subtle details about where you put stuff, it's a big deal. And there are some real challenges. One thing I was very happy about is that Peggy Whitson and I had flown together before, when I was on STS-112 and she was living on the space station. I got a pretty good sense of who she was and how she liked to do things. So having her as the commander of the station, and me as the commander of the shuttle, was a big plus for both of us. We'd actually flown together, and you just don't know people until you fly with them.

I don't understand that, how is one half-speed? Do you mean two are PCIe 2.0 and one is PCIe 1.1? Edit: Oddly enough I actually just did a build with this motherboard a few months ago so I checked the manual. I can't believe I didn't notice that. The manual says all the slots are PCIe 2.0, but the white one is 2.5GT/s and the blue are 5.0GT/s, how is that possible? I though if it was 2.5GT/s it meant it was PCIe 1.1...
Nice review, I was eyeballing this MB hard when I recently did my i5 build, I really like the layout. I have 2 pci-e 1x cards, my Auzen Forte, and my Diamond ATI HD650 TV card. I'm much more limited with my current 55i Sabertooth than either this board or my old P5Q Deluxe P45 board. Both my 1x cards are bundled up around my HD5870. One half covering the intake...but so far heat isn't an issue. If I hadn't got the 55i deal, it would've been this board. W
I have his some months older brother without SATA/USB3. And I agree with this nice review. I can add that with a little tweaking you can have EPU6 profiler at auto and enjoy both 4000 overclocks when needed, and then 1786 Mhz for idling, everything automatized. Kursah: funny my PCI-E setup is the same, nearly: 1 16x videocard, 1 1x audiocard and 1 1x HD TV card. Nothing more fits after putting an Arctic cooler con the videocard.
Thanks, guys! I spent about a week with the board, and was really impressed with it, as at first look, I dodn't expect too much, after playing with the Gene. The power savings are really nice! I've employed a Zalman unit to measure power consumption thought the 8-pin CPU connector(also connected one meter to each PCIe plug in the vga); It's proved quite useful, and paints a very different picture than just a killawatt! Working on another review as I type this, so keep your eyes peeled for the next one!
You aren't looknig in the right spots then: CPU: http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=417 VGA: http://www.zalman.co.kr/Eng/product/Product_Read.asp?Idx=418 I'm hoping Zalman will send me another set so I don't ahve to buy it...alot of P67 boards have 2x8-pin.
Yeah, for sure. Would be a good way to measure PSU efficiency. I turned to the Zalman unit as while a Kill-a-Watt would give total system numbers, those numbers have very little relation to what the board is actually using, due to things liek fans and drive, and other goodies.. With one of the largest differences in boards being PWM design, I think it's a good reference point as is, but I'm always exploring new options that will bring you guys better, more accurate data. The one thing about 24-pin connectors is that they also power PCIe too, so wouldn't really give usuable numbers on it's own, in my opinion. You might be surprised how little power gets sucked through the 6-pins of my 5870.
Oh, that is exactly why I'd want a 24-pin version, to measure how much is really being pulled through the PCIe slots, since that is really the only major thing being powered by the 24 pin anymore. I think the Kill-a-watt is an ok way to meaure how much power a board uses, because if everthing else stays the same except the board, you can see how much difference chaning the motherboard makes in power draw. But the Zalman definitely makes a great way to test PWM efficiency across various boards, which is a really cool thing to know.
Picked up an i5-650 real cheap of off CL, so I bought one of these and it's due here on Monday! Do you think I'll see any improvement over my FX60? About that x1 slot, I read it somewhere about why that is, but I can't remember where. Nice review. I'm feeling more sure about my decision to go with this board all the time.
Good stuff! I didn't have any issues at all, so I'm sure it will work well for ya. lane situation is the same as P55, so I don't know what to tell ya guys about that one. Simply put, there is more to PCIe 2.0 than just bandwidth, I guess, so the slot conforms to all those other bits, but not for bandwidth. That's why the bridge chip on this board is there, to provide the needed bandwidth for the USB 3.0 and the Sata 6Gbps chips, and I also know that P67 very purposefully fixes this same issue as well. It's that and memory control improvements that P67 offers over P55, it's just unfortunate that the issue with those chipsets means finding boards right this moment for 1155 is a bit difficult.
Did you happen to try SLI with a Clarksdale CPU? Asus says that you can't, but I saw another review where they did.
This is confusing to me: http://support.asus.com/faq/asus-faq.aspx?no=4984A0D8-1DED-7358-735F-6821BE9AF203&SLanguage=en-us Edit: They changed that link. Now it's clear.
Cadaveca I just want to give you props on the motherboard reviews. They are high quality and I sure hope Wizzard keeps using you.
I think they are more indicating that none of the H55 boards have 8x8 PCIe lanes...and as such, do not support dual VGAS in any way. I don't even think any H55 boards can run more than one card!
Yes, that is exactly what they are saying. They are also saying P55 boards can only do hardware Crossfire, meaning cards without a crossfire connecter won't work(why would you even bother anyway?).
Another is underway right this moment and hopefully more products arrive at my door shortly. I got this sample last Thursday or Friday, and the entire review went rather well, considering some of the crap I dealt with while working on it. I had run out of TIM, so went to the PC store to pick some up. Like most, I couldn't help myself, and made a few other purchases. After packing them into my backpack, I went to sling it over my shoulder, and popped my shoulder right out of the socket! So I wrote this review with just one hand, even! That slowed me down a fair bit, but it also forced me to spend a bit more time with the board and get a better feel for what it offers. I have been having issues with my 5870's for quite some time now too...maybe a story to tell after it's all over and done with, as it seems I may have to update my bench platform and redo a bunch of benching because of a VGA swap. So thanks very much for the support; It's greatly appreciated! I put alot into it!

For nearly two weeks the skies of New England had been eerily dim. This was a strange phenomenon, an unnatural lack of light. Many of the religious people and persons familiar with Bible prophecies presumed this to be a time of God's displeasure and impending wrath. This day in New England's history was May 19, 1780 and called "The Dark Day." On that day, the House of Representatives in Connecticut had adjourned because the looming darkness was determined to be an impediment to their ability to conduct business. However, the Colony Council meeting in the same Hall continued in session. As they were discussing what they should do because of the foreboding dimness, respected Councilman, Abraham Davenport spoke against an appeal for adjournment. His words have been preserved for posterity: "I am against adjournment. The day of judgment is either approaching or it is not. If it is not, there is no cause for an adjournment; if it is, I choose to be found doing my duty. I wish therefore that candles may be brought." The Council chose to follow his sage discernment. They continued with their daily itinerary.
We live in a time of descending darkness. Sin and sinners are ever increasing, violence and indecency are escalating, and fear and hopelessness are daily encroaching. As God's children we can resign ourselves to the darkness and lament its imposed inhibitions or we can resolve ourselves to our Christian duty. We are to be lights in a world of darkness. We can do this by sharing the light of the Gospel with those who cannot see the way to God. We can also bring more light of truth into our lives and to the lives of those we love by purposely exposing ourselves to the truths of His Word. The more truth we inhale the more light we can expel. Dispel the darkness!
Take another course in the Bible Institute; inspire a friend or acquaintances to sign up and find more light for these dark days.

- Page:1/1
- " I have very mixed feelings on the Old Schoolhouse. We were put in a shared apartment as we had expected, but told that the next day we would have to move rooms. This was a pain and not very proffesional. However where we were moved we had the whole apartment to ourselves, with a great kitchen and all appliances needed to be self contained. HOWEVER the apartment had no WIFI as it was advertised and as we had expected and paid for, very inconvenient. The TV did not work either but big deal. "
- 15 Apr 2012 Daisy
- " The facilities are absolutely fantastic bar none. Our room wasn't clean not because of the hostel but because of the german school group staying in the extra room. Jana who checked me in offered to find their teacher if they got loud but she was so nice that when they got loud at 5 am I couldn't bear to go wake her up. Without a school group everything would have been beyond perfect and somethings you just cannot help. "
- 25 May 2011 Hanna
- " These apartments have a good location, really closed to the city center, specially to the Royal Mile (main street of Edinburgh). The staff is unfriendly and the hostel has not reception. Even so it is recommended to expend a few days. "
- 14 May 2011 Pablo
- " this hostel dosen't look a official one, it is old school house, have to press the number to go in,but sometimes nobody answers your bell, only you can do is just waiting. if you complaint about waiting, the staff will say she/ he has own life. really not friendly. "

The Elder Scrolls 5 – Skyrim: Unlimited Dragon Bones and Scales for Crafting
If you want to get unlimited bones and scales for crafting armour there is a sort of glitch that allows you to find a limitless supply of dragons. You need to talk to Jarl's steward in Riften. He will offer you work. Take his side quests and they will randomly change bewteen between killing bandits and and clearing out dragons.
Keep going back to him for more side quests. Eventually you will clear out all of the holds. Once all the holds are clear he runs out of ideas and starts sending you back tot he places you've cleared. The dragons there will have re-spawned so you can fight it again. It's a good way to collect crafting materials and it's also a good way to grind, though you only absorb one dragon soul – the one from the initial fight. Before long you will have tons of bones and scales to make armour with, though they way an imperial ton so make sure you have somewhere to store them, like a house. Good luck and happy crafting.

bridges & teeter totter - no like
We did another drop in agility class last night and had a blast. Kaiser does great with the rings, jumping over the bar and running through the tunnels.
When we first arrived he did the bridge and teeter totter without any trouble, but after that he refused to do them any more. I think the teeter totter scared him when he went up it the first time without me really noticing. Is there something I can do so he'll do these again? |
Teeter game (at minute 2:30 and with instructor at 5 min)
Hopefully the dog walk is low low low...and you are using a clicker at 4:18 in the same video you can see how I helped get Glory to stay on the dogwalk. I'm clicking any forward movement and treating ON the dogwalk (not from my hand to mouth, but hand to dogwalk surface to mouth). Once they are startled and flyoff the teeter, they won't trust the dogwalk either, which is why it's important to train them slowly and CLEARLY to the pup. :) |
You can make a wobble bridge easily and cheaply.
We have used two different ways to teach the teeter:
Tayn learned it by walking up the teeter, a third person was holding the end so the teeter wouldn't come down. In the beginning he ran up, the 3rd person holding the teeter, he got his treat and I picked him up "on top" (worked well when he was younger, it's harder when you got an older [and heavier ;)] dog). As soon as he ran to the end fast and without hesitation, the 3rd person began to lower the teeter slowly so he got used to the teeter "falling" down and he got the treat in the "2on-2off-position": (A video whith 15 months, teeter almost falling from the highest point [araound the 30 seconds mark] --> ). With my puppy I'll try a different technique. First she'll learn to "press" the teeter to the ground so she won't be afraid of the sound it makes when it touches the ground. I have a video of one of our trainers demonstarting it, unfortunately it's in German but I think you can see what I mean... :) [Around the 12:00 minute mark the puppy training with the teeter] --> Agility-Tipps vom Profi -Tobias Wüst- - YouTube |
Thanks for the help everyone.
I think this weekend I'll make a trip to Lowes so we can build something so we can work on this in the back yard. |
NTexFoster, do NOT do the full teeter until you work this out, it can freak dogs forever on the dogwalk AND teeter.
Lots of good suggestions/hints/tips to get our dogs used to the world moving under their feet being a GOOD thing, and something THEY are in control of (plus tons of great rewards on the potentially scary thing (NOT FROM YOUR HAND). Only make it hard (higher? louder?) when they are loving the level they are working at. Good luck! May want to search for a better club/class in your area. Drop ins are fine when you just need to brush up on skills, but there really are different levels to progress thru that make it SO much easier. And 'real' classes with instructors who go to trials (not that you have to go to trials, but when people do they tend to really take the care to learn the right way from the start :) ). I supplement my classes with the equipment in my yard. |
The teeter totter at the class is only 6" high in the middle. There are toy poodles and puppies there too. Nothing is raised up for these events.
I ran to Lowes and got a board that I'll wrap with carpet or something b/c they can't grip it. I also have a simple 3'x3' piece of plywood to use as a wobble board. All I do is place a piece of scrap under it. so that it doesn't lay flat. For Kaiser I'm starting with a treat just for putting a front paw on it. We'll build from here. Hawk on the other hand happily walked on the way on to it causing it to shift to the other side. He didn't care, he just wanted his treat. The way I figured out that the walkway board needs a covering was Hawk trying to walk across it while it was laying in the yard. It was on a slight slope and he couldn't stay on it. The plan there is to get them to walk across it while its on the ground and then raise it up a few inches at a time until its a foot or so off the ground. The real problem at the moment for this stuff is that it is over 100F outside. Great for running the motorcycle on the track but being outside wearing a fur coat has got to be miserable. |
Sounds like good start.
Hopefully you are using the clicker and treating for any movement on or toward the obstacle. Hopefully the treat is ON the contact and not coming from your hand. Hopefully you are giving TONS of treats and that clicker is going off like a machine gun initially. Hopefully you are having a hungry dog and REAL treats (cheese? chicken? Liver? Beef?) And using engagement and tug toys frequently during the sessions! Click this --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...-training.html |

The Colt Set includes the stroller, a car seat Carseat 0 +, a 3 in 1 footmuff and a raincover. With this set you are fully equipped from birth.
The swivelling and lockable front wheels make the spring-loaded chassis extremely manoeuvrable. If necessary, the front wheels can be locked. In the large shopping basket you will find enough space for your baby essentials. Thanks to the telescopic push handle the Colt can easily be adapted for whoever is pushing it.
Newborns lie comfortably in the cuddly bassinet and will feel safe and secure. When your child gets older and outgrows the bassinet, just convert it into a sporty seat only in a few steps. The cover of the bassinet and the seat cover can be transformed into a practical footmuff. The cover can also be used individually as turning seat cover for your sporty buggy.
The buggy seat can be converted. This allows your child to look at the surroundings. The hood with fold-out visor protects your child from the sun, wind and rain.
The adjustable backrest and footrest provide optimal sitting comfort. The 5-point harness system, a locking brake and the removable front bar offer perfect security for your child.
The Colt set is completed by the car seat "Carseat 0 +". This car seat of the group 0 + can be used from birth onwards. The head cushion with cuddly winter and breathable summer side protects your baby perfectly. When you fix the car seat on the frame, you can transform your stroller in into the practical Shop N Drive system in no time at all. This way you do not have to wake your baby up when you want to get out of the car to go shopping. This versatile stroller set is perfect for modern parents.
I love it, its so easy to put up, i love the fact i can clip the car seat to the frame if i'm quickly nipping to the school or even shopping. EVERYONE compliments the pram. I just love it! I also think the price is amazing!
I took a while to get the gist of collapsing the frame, other than that does exactly what it said on the description.....overall very happy
I haven't open it yet. Fingers crossed, that it will exceed my expectations :-)
Grandchild not due til January so not yet used but looks very stylish, has everything you need but is agood size to fit in the car and was good value for money. My daughter loves the fact that the buggy faces whoever is pushing so conversations can easily take place with baby.
I ordered this after seeing it online (couldn't find one in store) but had seen others made by Hauck and decided to just go for it. It arrived after 2 days and what can I say, it was so easy to put together. It looks so stylish and for a great price. The car seat and the pram/carrycot clip on and off the frame so easily and it's really easy to collapse it down to folding. The wheels just click on and off as well, which makes it even smaller if you have a small boot (which I do). I haven't had a chance to use it with baby yet as i'm not due until February but I am so pleased I decided to go for this product. the inside of the car seat is soft and the footmuff is really soft as well so will be super cosy. Overall, I'm a very happy customer.
