Cochabamba is a city in central Bolivia, located in a valley bearing the same name in the Andes mountain range. It is the capital of the Cochabamba Department and is the fourth largest city in Bolivia with an urban approximate population of 700,000 (2010)[1] and a metropolitan population of more than 1,000,000 people. The name derives from a compound of the Quechua words qucha, meaning "lake", and pampa, "open plain".[2] Residents of the city and surrounding areas are commonly referred to as Cochalas. Cochabamba is known as the "City of Eternal Spring" and "The Garden City" due to its spring-like temperatures year round. It is also known as "La Llaqta", "town" in Quechua.
The city is host to the first World People's Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth.

The Cochabamba valley was inhabited for over a thousand years due to its fertile productive soils and climate. Archaeological evidence suggests that the initial inhabitants were of indigenous ethnic groups: Tiwanaku, Tupuraya, Mojocoya, Omereque, and Inca inhabited the valley at times before the Spanish arrived.
The first Spanish inhabitant of the valley was Garci Ruiz de Orellana in 1542. He purchased the majority of the land from local tribal chiefs Achata and Consavana through a title registered in 1552 at the Imperial City of Potosí. The price paid was 130 pesos. His residence, known as the House of Mayorazgo, stands in the Cala Cala neighbourhood.
The city, called Villa de Oropesa, was founded on 2 August 1571 by order of Viceroy Francisco de Toledo, Count of Oropesa. It was to be an agricultural production centre to provide food for the mining towns of the relatively nearby Altiplano region, particularly Potosí which became one of the largest and richest cities in the world during the 17th century — funding the vast wealth that ultimately made Spain a world power. With the silver mining industry in Potosi at its height, Cochabamba thrived during its first centuries. The city entered a period of decline during the 18th century as mining began to wane.
In 1786, King Charles III of Spain renamed the city to the 'loyal and valiant' Villa of Cochabamba. This was done to commend the city's pivotal role in suppressing the indigenous rebellions of 1781 in Oruro by sending armed forces to Oruro to quell the uprisings. Since the late 19th century it has again been generally successful as an agricultural centre for Bolivia.
The 1793 census shows that the city had a population of 22,305 persons. There were 12,980 mestizos, 6,368 Spaniards, 1,182 indigenous natives, 1,600 mulattos and 175 African slaves.
In 1900, the population was 21,886.[3]
Besides a number of schools and charitable institutions, the diocese has 55 parishes, 80 churches and chapels, and 160 priests.[citation needed]
In 1999 and 2000, large-scale protests reversed the privatisation of the city's water supply.
In January 2007 city dwellers clashed with mostly rural protestors, leaving four dead and over 130 injured. The first democratically elected Prefect of Cochabamba, Manfred Reyes Villa, had allied himself with the leaders of Bolivia's Eastern Departments in a dispute with President Evo Morales over regional autonomy and other political issues. The protestors blockaded the highways, bridges, and main roads, having days earlier set fire to the departmental seat of government, trying to force the resignation of Reyes Villa. Citizens attacked the protestors, breaking the blockade and routing them, while the police did little to stop the violence. Further attempts by the protestors to reinstate the blockade and threaten the government were unsuccessful, but the underlying tensions have not been resolved.
In July 2007, a monument erected by veterans of January's protest movement in honour of those killed and injured by government supporters was destroyed in the middle of the night, reigniting racial conflicts in the city.
In August 2008, a nationwide referendum was held. The prefect of Cochabamba, Manfred Reyes Villa, was not confirmed by the voters of the department.
Cochabamba's famous "Eternal Spring" continues to hold sway over the hearts of true Cochalos. Neither experiencing the humid heat of Santa Cruz nor the frigid winds of La Paz, Cochabamba enjoys a semi-arid climate (Köppen: BSk). At 17° south of the Equator, tropical days are balanced by the cool of mountain nights. The characteristic of the climate is an extended dry season that runs from May until October with a wet season that generally begins in November with the principal rains ending in March.

People and culture[edit]
Currently, Cochabamba is among Bolivia's most economically and socially progressive cities. Commensurate with other large cities in the Andean highlands of South America, Cochabamba is a city of contrasts. Its central commercial districts, bounded by Plaza Colón and Plaza 14 de Septiembre, is generally equipped with modern urban amenities and is where the majority of the city's business and commercial industries are based. An active nightlife is centered around Calle España and along the broad, tree-lined boulevard, El Prado. In contrast, the remote area adjacent to the Wilstermann International Airport is visibly impoverished, with adobe homes and unpaved roads, which is often the first impression visitors acquire while commuting into the city.
The most widely spoken language in Cochabamba is Spanish. Although the Spanish that is spoken in the Cochabamba region is generally regarded as rather conservative in its phonetics and vocabulary, a few Quechua and Aymara terminology (guagua [child], papa [potato]) have been incorporated into its standardized form.
As with most cities around the globe, English language is increasingly spoken and understood, particularly among business-minded indigenous and repatriated Cochabambinos. English-language instruction has become incorporated into Bolivian education from elementary to college levels.
The city's racial demographics consist of the following visible groups in order of prevalence: Western Hemispheric indigenous (mostly of Quechua ethnicity), Mestizo or mixed Indigenous, and a minority of white Caucasoid and mixed white (Criollos).
Cochabamba, formally the municipality of Cercado, is the capital of Cochabamba department. The city government is divided into executive and legislative branches. The mayor of Cochabamba is the head of the city government, elected by general election for a term of five years. The mayor heads an executive branch, which includes six sub-mayors and a variety of departments comprising 950 functionaries.[5] The 11-member municipal council is the legislative branch.
The current mayor is Edwin Castellanos of the Movement Towards Socialism.

The area where Cochabamba is situated is commonly referred to as the granary of Bolivia. Its climate is milder than that of the Altiplano region to the west and thus permits extensive agriculture, including grains, potatoes, and coffee in the highlands and sugar cane, cocoa beans, tobacco, and fruit in the Chapare tropical lowlands, an area that had been one of the country's main coca-leaf-producing regions.[citation needed]

Additional notes of interest[edit]
- Cochabamba is also mentioned in the documentary The Corporation, about their fight against privatisation of water by a foreign-owned company. The people protested against this and won. The privatisation had gone to such an extent that even rain water was not allowed to be collected. Read Cochabamba protests of 2000.
- A MasterCard commercial depicting the world switching from a competitor's credit card to MasterCard all over the world ends with the competitor saying that he still has Cochabamba, which ends up switching to MasterCard anyway.
- Cochabamba has been confirmed to be the seat of a future South American Parliament when it is formed by UNASUR. UNASUR has yet to determine what the composition of the Parliament will be, but existing treaties all agree it will meet in Cochabamba.
- Cochabamba was the first place rugby union in Bolivia was formally established.
- Cochabamba was featured as a location in the story in the 1983 film, Scarface. Powerful drug lord Alejandro Sosa resided there, governed large coca plantations and owned cocaine labs where upon further refining, would be shipped to Tony Montana in Florida.
- Cochabamba is the setting of the 2010 movie También la lluvia (Even the rain), which takes place during the water war of 2000. It depicts a team making a movie about the colonization of Latin America, when the protests against privatization arise. The star is Mexican actor Gael García Bernal, and the film has received good criticism.
Cochabambino migration[edit]
Historically, Cochabamba has been a destination for many Bolivians due to relatively improved economic opportunities and a more temperate climate. Bolivia's current President Evo Morales and ex-president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada were both Senators representing Cochabamba, although they were born in Oruro and La Paz respectively and immigrated to Cochabamba at the start of their political careers.
After the road to the eastern city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra was completed in the 1950s, thousands of Cochabambinos migrated to the lowlands and permanently settled. Many Cochabambino migrants and their descendants now identify themselves as Cambas after absorbing the regional Bolivian culture of the eastern lowlands, but maintain familiar ties with relatives that remained in Cochabamba.
A large population of Bolivian and Bolivian-descended residents is in the Greater Washington, D.C.-Baltimore–Northern Virginia area of United States (2005 US Census estimates 27,452 +/- 8,883 Bolivians for DC,[15] Virginia,[16] and Maryland[17]); the highest concentration is in Arlington County, Virginia. These figures may represent a census undercount of undocumented Bolivian alien residents. These combined communities have become the centre for recent and established Bolivian immigrants, most of whom are from the department and city of Cochabamba, hence, locally regarded as Little Cochabamba or Arlibamba. Little Cochabamba contains Bolivian-cuisine restaurants and the Escuela Bolivia; a school-within-a-school programme for children and adults.
After to the mid-1990s, many low-income Cochabambinos emigrated to Bergamo, Italy in search of work. Most of the 16,400 (2005 estimate) Bolivians in Bergamo are from Cochabamba, which includes both legal and work visa-expired immigrants. This migration is due to the strong relationship between the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bergamo and the Archdiocese of Cochabamba.

Oh, maaaaaaaaaaan!!! After seeing this, I believe God exists. Matt Bomer ^.^ these guys are so f*cking hot. I wish it could be Bomer.
Bomer is the only one that could pull it off. Either way, 50 Shades is such a trashy novel that's sure to make a trashy movie. I'd rather watch Twilight or even read it, which it's based off of anyway.
LMAO this list is a fucking joke. (except for Bomer and Miller)
Forget actors, they need a Porn Star!!!
Chris Salvatore? Really? He can't even sing (he thinks he is a singer), yet alone act his way out of a brown paper bag. None of these guys (including Matt Boomer who has been mentioned as a legitimate possible choice) will be picked. It will be a straight actor.
This list is a joke right? No serious actor will come within 50 feet of this turd…not that this list of nobodies would even be considered.
Wentworth is too old, and Matt clearly has no interest in this.
Did not know Simon Woods and Sean Maher were on our team. That brightened my morning.
Why does a gay actor need to play the role of a straight man? Hollywood can keep that train wreck of a film
Even though they are all no talents, I'm surprised Queerty didn't suggest their usual hit list: Davey Wavey, Lance Bass, Robbie Rogers or Nick Gruber…..
@Dixie Rect: You're right about the others, but not Robbie Rogers. The man is out and currently playing. That's pretty big in the gay world. He needs to be talked about more.
@Dixie Rect: LOL, you left out the Jonas brothers.
You may be on to something with Nick Gruber – after all, as he keeps telling us, he's straight!
@Dxley: Yeah, we agree on something. But, as usual, Dixie Rect proves he is just a frustrated hater.
How about a movie called "100 Shades of Pink?"
Luke Evans is not "out" as far as I know, he might have "come out" in a british mag a few years ago, but his agents consequently put him back in again and he doesn't seem to mind seeing as he enjoys talking about women and fast cars now *eye roll*
Oh and I actually had no idea Craig Parker was gay, wow…you learn something new everyday, should have known since he posted that pic on gwip a while back lol
And I know it's supposed to be "acting", but if you've ever read the books(which regrettably I have), all your choices are jokes besides Matt Bomer and Wentworth Miller, neither of which will probably do it.
@Polaro: Y'all get so uptight over the silliest things, I was making a joke. Queerty is a complete joke too, so why not join in on the joke?
@Niall: As far as Luke Evans is concerned here's a quote from him: "Everybody knew me as a gay man, and in my life in London I never tried to hide it", "whether I'm successful or if I weren't successful, at least I'll never have that skeleton in the closet they can rattle out. Y'know what I mean?"
So, there's that. If his PR people are trying to shove him back in the closet then that's something completely different.
I've not read the book, nor am I aware of what the supposed, ideal "look" of the Christian Grey character is thought to be…though besides Matt Boomer, I'd like to offer two names to the list of possible replaces for Charlie Hunnam – Ian Somerhalder (from CW's "Vampire Dairies") for nothing more than his sexy demeanor and "those eyes" of his and also the actor Joe Manganiello (from both TV and for his performance in "Magic Mike"), then hopefully with facial hair, who after only a single look, requires no further explanation of why he too could be a f-i-n-e replacement for Mr. Hunnam. Wow, just thinking about this sure makes me wish that I was a casting agent in charge of auditions for this role.
Luke Evans could make for a good Christian Grey, but how about Travis Fimmel from History Channel's Vikings. His intense eyes and acting style would melt the screens. Also, Jonathan Rhys Meyers who would be no stranger to the sexual acrobatics required for the role and he is an excellent actor. So people let me know: 1) Travis Fimmel…Mmmm! 2) Jonathan Rhys Meyers 3) Luke Evans
Let me say it aloud: TRAVIS FIMMEL from Vikings, then Jonathan Rhys Meyers or Luke Evans, but let's consider TRAVIS FIMMEL.
LUKE EVANS??????? That scum bag crawled back into the closet after he started getting big movie roles. In an Advocate interview he did about 10 or so years ago, he talked about how proud he was to be gay, that being closeted was stupid and all the gay porn he owned….now, he's dating beards and refusing to comment on his personal life- which we all know when managers say that- it means GAY GAY GAY!!!!
Oh my Craig Parker. If only you were naked in Legend of the Seeker… ;p
Doug, I hear you loud and clear and I did not know the history behind Luke Evans. Putting sexuality aside, Travis Fimmel from Vikings would be the best choice. Check out his eyes; find Vikings and watch…Mmmm!
I don't know who any of these guys are, but they are all very handsome.,,
Honestly, I would love to see Charlie Hunnam do it, but the train left the station on that one.
Craig Parker did some pretty convincing nude and straight sex scenes in Spartacus before he was knocked off plus cruelty was his characters forte. He looked very damn good doing it. Matt Bomer got pretty kinky in Magic Mike so I think he could pull it off. Unlike some, I think Cheyenne Jackson's recent real-life douche-ness might come in handy if he got the role.
Why are you faggots fucking obsessed with this stupid fucking book for straight toddlers. GIVE IT A REST!
@damienbasile: Yeah you're basically telling me what I already know. But like I said, his agents have put in back inside the closet, set him up with some PR beard who says they're "in love" and at the Fast & Furious 6 premiere, he was talking about loving women and fast cars. So he himself is obviously okay with being back in the closet or maybe he just came to realize he's now bisexual lol.
what is Chrsi Salvatore doing on this list? He is an awful actor! did you see Eating Out 22 through 45? please stop embarassing REAL actors
agreed! Methinks someone at Queerty is sleeping with the guy…embarassing
This online "magazine" is getting shallower with each and every issue. Who's writing this crap — high school interns?
I would love it if Matt Bomer did it. But whoever is cast should be willing to do full-frontal nudity. I think it would be ridiculous for this film of all films to shy away from that.
Although not gay, my choice remains Ian Somerhalder for the role.
It is he I visualized while reading 50 Shades of Grey.

While networking, be prepared to answer the questions you ask
Image by Sigurd Decroos
Not long ago I was chatting with my friend, Meaghan McCann. Meaghan is a Google Adwords expert. She teaches regular workshops about the subject and can really help people get their search engine marketing off to a good start. She's also a parent of two young kids (something we have in common).
One of the things we talked about was the challenges of the wonderful skills of mimicry that 3- and 4-year-olds seem to possess. Of course, by "mimicry," I mean "the tendency to repeat everything they hear, regardless of its appropriateness."
There isn't much we can do to stop the little ones from repeating lines from every movie and television program they've seen (my daughter Kaylie has a career in musical theater waiting for her). As networkers, we should always bear in mind that most of us still have a tendency to repeat what we hear.
And that can actually work to our benefit.
When attending events and one-to-one's, one of the best things we can do is to have a list of open-ended, feel-good questions tucked away in the back of our minds. If we can do this, we never have to worry about dead spots in the conversation. We also don't have to worry about becoming a conversational hog in order to fill them. All we have to do is ask another question (and actually be interested in their answer).
The cool thing is this keeps them talking about themselves (one of their favorite topics). The danger comes when they start to run down; they will repeat what we just said. Namely, they will likely ask us the exact same thing that we asked them.
This can be a good thing. After all, if we just asked them who their perfect client would be (or who they want to meet, or what challenges they expect in the coming year, etc), then when they turn the question back on us, we get to tell them exactly how they can help us.
I do have some caveats with respect to this technique. First, it must always be done with sincerity. If you are asking them how you can help them, you had better mean it. If you don't, they will know that you are "techniquing" them without any real interest in helping them — and they will take just about as much interest in you. Or less.
Second, any question that you have in your repertoire, you had better be prepared with an answer. You have to be willing to give up a little of yourself — to let them see who you are. If you just say "I don't know" to everything they ask, they will get the impression that you are either trying to evade the question (making you deceitful) or holding yourself aloof (making you arrogant) or clueless (making you incompetent). None of these attributes make for a very good foundation upon which to build a strong relationship.
Remember, just like a 3-year-old, a networking connection will often mirror your behaviors. Just be prepared for it. Understanding this phenomenon will help you communicate your own goals and needs as you actively search for ways to help those in your network.

Table Tennis
Mississippi College Table Tennis Team Launches 4th Season
Mississippi College's Table Tennis Team entered its 4th season with high hopes of improving its No. 5 national ranking.
And so far, so good. During Homecoming 2010 weekend on October 16, the Choctaws cruised to victory at the Dixie Division Tournament at the Baptist Healthplex. MC defeated such foes as Alabama-Huntsville, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, West Florida, and the University of Alabama.
Another win at its spring Dixie Division tournament, and Mississippi College will punch its ticket to the 2011 Nationals in Rochester, Minnesota in April. MC's team in 2010-2011 is strengthened by the addition of newcomer Yang Yu, an MBA student who's a native of China. He joins strong veteran players like Yuliang "Bill'' Cai and Zhicheng "Johnson'' Liang, both natives of China.
Captain Ken Qiu returns for his 4th season. The architect of the team from its beginnings in 2007, Ken is a business graduate student and full-time International Programs Office staff member. MC sophomore Ben VanHorn of Clinton is improving his game and was elevated to the "A'' team at the recent Dixie Division tourney.
MC finished in 16th place at the National Collegiate Table Tennis Association's Championships in Rochester, Minnesota in 2009. They moved up to 5th place at the Nationals in April 2010 near Milwaukee. Powerhouses like Texas Wesleyan, Lindenwood University, Princeton and the University of Ottawa remain strong again during the 2010-2011 season.
Fans of Mississippi College table tennis are encouraged to show their support at the Dixie Division tourney on Feb. 19. The action begins at 9 a.m. at the Baptist Healthplex. The team practices three days a week at Alumni Gym. MC has proven itself to be among the elite programs of the 150 colleges in the USA and Canada with table tennis teams. Go Choctaws!!

Sweet Vid. Simple but effective. I think it's good to take time and just chill and reflect back on the hunt and to take some time to show respect for your kill.
Love what you have; Be grateful for what you receive; Give what you can and always remember; what goes around, comes around... Live Well... Be Wise.
Nice video, relaxing, just the hunting should be, better than some Big name hunters who just want to yell and brag. Congrats, thanks for sharing.
my wi-fi is to slow to watch vids most days. if you guys are interested in a video series with no hype BS, Check out Gary Bogner's Passport series. he's sponsored bySCI, Hoyt,Easton and NAP and has completed the North American Grand Slam on video as well as the African Big 5. He's a man that that,IMO,should be the example for all hunters to look to. very knowledgeable of his quarry and respectful of his game. if you can find the vids on youtube or something,IDK. i highly recommend it for entertainment as well as education if your planning a particular hunt. the most responsible and ethical bowhunter ive ever seen. He actually owns a hunting resort a couple hours north of me in Hesperia MI.

between december 28th and january 3rd, i had 5 migraines in 6 days. i measure it differently, depending on my mood:
9 imitrex in 144 hours.
8 meals taken, 10 missed.
6 wet towels from 6 wet icepacks, who each dripped their condensation down the thin curls on the back of my neck.
unending orange gatorade, my favorite perk.
a new year's without champagne or cheering — and blessedly snooki-free.
i called kooky doctor, got an appointment for the next day and received a new med — a beta blocker — as well as more anti-depressants in hopes that regulating the size of the blood vessels in my head LA LA SCIENCE SCIENCE would kill the headaches.
january 9th i woke up without a headache.
and then i had one — but just one! — surely that's manageable, yes?
and another yesterday. and another today.
maybe i'll never learn not to hope so much, maybe i'll always be surprised when things don't work out right.
for now i'm hiding in my bed with my gatorade. please send cheese.

love the shoes, the colour, the fit ..... only problem ? wear them once and the colour comes off. :( i did however order the same style in fabric & i love them!
September 8, 2013
I love this shoes, however the strap that holds the shoe on is not high enough on my heel so the shoes just flop right off. If I had gone to a smaller size my toes wouldn't have fit. I do love them, maybe a minor adjustment and I may try them again!
June 16, 2013
Loved the shoes but the fit wasn't right for my feet.
Loved the shoes. I normally wear a 7 but these seemed to run small and narrow for me. Too uncomfortable to wear to the event they were purchased for. Had to return them.
June 4, 2013
Great colors and look
My problem with the shoe is the elastic on the very back of the heel strap makes the strap fall off way too easily. I like the elastic better when it's on the side or by a buckle.

Fashion Week gets buzz from cocktail dresses and lots of leather
By Michael Quintanilla : February 11, 2013 : Updated: February 12, 2013 1:56am
NEW YORK — Not rain, sleet or snow discouraged fashion industry folk from packing Lincoln Center and other venues for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week fall shows, where more than 80 designers unveiled looks scheduled to be in stores in six months.
But with far-out stylists, make-up artists and hairdressers hired to help designers dramatize their creations, perhaps the reigning trend was simply generating publicity. One designer staged the publicity coup of the season: Jason Wu.
By now, it's known that, once again, Wu was chosen by Michelle Obama to provide her with a beautiful, flattering, photogenic gown for the inaugural balls last month.
It is probable that guests at his show were imagining the first lady in every single one of his runway pieces. And each would look great on her.
She likes belts. He had belts. She likes sleeveless. He had sleeveless. She likes color. He had mustard, red and royal blue.
But the designer had declared his intention to make this collection sexier, and it was. So we're guessing that the ladylike, elegant Mrs. O will take a pass on the shorter hemlines, sheer skirts and bustier tops.
Even without presidential validation, Monique Lhuillier's breathtaking collection surely will generate buzz because of her modern touch to antique luxury.
She employed digital technology to modernize burnished gold brocades as abstract prints and transferred the look of a green malachite stone onto an undulating stripe on chiffon.
Like other designers this season, her collection included glamorous, long-haired fur jackets and smoke ring scarves.
Her spiderlike laces often were textured with metallic glitter. And her always-enchanting evening gowns looked younger and fresher with innovative fly-away shapes and hemlines high in the front and flowing in the back. Several evening looks featured sheer full skirts over slim cigarette pants.
Carmen Marc Valvo, known for setting highly publicized red carpet trends, sent out classic dress and gown silhouettes with opulent embellishments, mostly in black instead of his expected glitz.
He called his collection "Mozart meets Rock 'n' Roll" and added pops of color in furs and shoes.
Backstage after his show, he said his fall collection loaded with leather and patent leather is "moody and mysterious."
He softened leather with the combination of lace or organza, such as a black Chantilly lace cocktail dress with patent leather square-tile embroidery and a black lace and leather embroidered gown.
He also put long sleeves on several gowns and dresses because "women of all ages are asking for them."
Son Jung Wan was inspired to work with neutral tones and gray and an occasional pop of oxblood. She worked with tweed and fur, combining the two for beautiful coats such as a blue tweed version with lamb sleeves and another off-white coat with fur sleeves.
Standouts included camel-colored, long-sleeved dresses in wool, others with pleated sides, a mink collar wrap jacket and taupe fleece skirts.
She called her collection, which included several reversible pieces, "retro romantic," citing that women want "to feel and be seen as both feminine and alluring."
She said because women now tend to buy fewer pieces, she strives to bring new ideas that are about "longevity from season to season" because "even in a tough economy, women must have something new."
Designer Max Azria's two collections, BCBG (known for its lightweight, flowing layered looks) and Hervé Léger (for its skintight banded dresses) had something in common: elongated hemlines and sportswear influences — the latter a move to show that he designs more than just dresses.
His ultra-feminine BCBG line was inspired by Istanbul architecture and the eclectic style of Gypsies of Southern Europe. He used blues, burgundy and rich neutrals anchored by black and white.
He sent out easy shift dresses and tunics layered with loose pants, sweaters and oversized jackets that referenced sportswear. But the relaxed silhouette was given some edge with black stamped lizard thigh-high boots.
His Hervé Léger line ramped up the glamour of the bandaged dresses so favored by curvaceous starlets.
This season, the skintight dresses and separates are trimmed lavishly with glitter and glitz in gold and rich colors such as emerald and oxblood.
He said his designs make women "feel beautiful, sexy and confident. To me, that's moving fashion forward."
Tadashi Shoji said his collection was inspired by a recent trip to Russia where he toured the Hermitage Museum and fell in love with the Winter Palace.
So he worked embroidery onto delicate chiffon dresses and pearl embellishment onto winter white gowns. He sent out a stunning red lace and tulle tea-length cocktail dress. And he experimented with neoprene scuba fabric, creating tuxedo pants and capelets overlaid with lace.
He also offered trapeze dresses and gowns in washed velvet. He gave some dresses interesting voluminous and draped backs.
"I love the juxtaposition of a simple silhouette in the front and unexpected drama in the back," he said.
But he also added that, above all, the fit of a garment is paramount, and that's why he firmly believes in using stretch fabrics and stretch silk linings that conform to the body without sacrificing comfort. "A great fit is timeless. It's what women want."
That, most women would agree, is an ever-constant desire, not merely a fleeting trend.

Besides Koenig, whose body was found in a lake north of Anchorage, authorities have identified only two of Keyes' other victims, Bill and Lorraine Currier of Essex Junction, Vermont.
More clues may come from an illegible, blood-soaked note that was found in Keyes' cell after his suicide. That is being analyzed at the FBI's lab in Quantico, Virginia, Mews said, in hopes of determining what Keyes wrote.
Authorities are asking that anyone who may have information about Keyes get in contact with the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or call their local FBI office.

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association
Making effective communication, a human right, accessible and achievable for all.
ASHA Launches a New and Improved NOMS Data Collection and Reporting ToolThe release of ASHA's new web-based NOMS data collection instrument now makes the reporting of outcomes easier. Enhancements to the Adult NOMS tool include simplified data collection forms with optional interim reporting, a new goal setting feature with access to real-time national benchmarking data, and a built in G-code converter to assist with Medicare's claims-based reporting. This new tool is available to NOMS participants only. If your organization is interested in submitting data to ASHA's national registry and learning more about NOMS, read additional information below under the heading "What is NOMS?" The new Pre-Kindergarten data collection instrument will be coming soon.
The Adult NOMS Functional Communication Measures (FCM) can be used in two Medicare programsThe NOMS FCMs can be used to assist with Medicare's claims-based reporting. The CMS measures, known as "G-codes" with accompanying severity/complexity modifiers, can easily crosswalk to the NOMS 7-point scales. It is important to note that the FCMs are only one component of NOMS. To receive access to all of the components of NOMS—national database of treatment outcomes and customized data reports—your organization must subscribe to NOMS and become a registered NOMS site. To find out more about how NOMS and its FCMs relate to Medicare's claims-based outcome reporting using G-codes, view frequently asked questions related to NOMS and claims-based outcomes reporting.
In 2008, eight of the 15 Functional Communication Measures (FCM) used in the Adult NOMS data collection tool were submitted to the National Quality Forum (NQF) for review. All eight were endorsed and subsequently became available for use in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). PQRS is separate from the Medicare claims-based reporting initiative and is only for SLPs who directly bill Medicare Part B for the provision of services to stroke patients. As an approved registry, ASHA will submit NOMS data to CMS on behalf of eligible SLPs. View the participation criteria and frequently asked questions related to PQRS.
ASHA's National Outcomes Measurement System (NOMS) is a voluntary data collection system developed to illustrate the value of speech-language pathology services provided to adults and children with communication and swallowing disorders. SLPs working in healthcare or school settings can register their organization in the NOMS Adult and/or NOMS Pre-Kindergarten Component and become a participating data collection site.
The key to NOMS is the use of ASHA's Functional Communication Measures (FCMs). FCMs are a series of disorder-specific, seven-point rating scales designed to describe the change in an individual's functional communication and/or swallowing ability over time. Based on an individual's treatment plan/IEP, FCMs are chosen and scored by a certified speech-language pathologist on admission and again at discharge from SLP services to depict the amount of change in communication and/or swallowing abilities after speech and language intervention and submitted to ASHA's national registry. In addition to scoring the FCMs, SLPs also provide basic information on patient/client demographics and intervention characteristics (e.g., SLP diagnosis, frequency/intensity of treatment).
In exchange for submitting data to ASHA's national registry, SLPs and their participating facility(s) and/or school(s) have access to their data benchmarked by treatment setting and diagnosis against the national data and system data if applicable. Facilities may also run customized analyses of their data, as well as national data, using our web-based reporting system.
Through the use of NOMS, we are now beginning to demonstrate the value of speech-language pathology services and provide our members the needed tools to address the challenging questions posed by policy makers, third party payers, administrators and consumers alike.
To find out more about the benefits of NOMS, frequently asked questions, and how to register your organization for data collection, see the "Information for Prospective Participants" in the resource box at the top of the page.
The fact sheets provide a snapshot of the data collected in each NOMS component (Adults in Health Care and Pre-Kindergarten).

The pressure is off of schools to ensure 100 percent of children test "proficient" in reading and math by 2014, but educators said standards still are rigorous after the federal government granted states waivers of some mandates in the No Child Left Behind Act.
Principals said while state test reporting and curricula have changed, the goals for making gains on student progress remain the same.
Earlier this week, the Maryland State Department of Education released results of the Maryland School Assessment, a test given to students in grades 3 through 8 in math and reading to satisfy requirements of the NCLB.
NCLB mandated that all students must score at proficient levels by 2014, and progress toward that goal was measured statewide by Adequate Yearly Progress.
AYP no longer will be part of the accountability process, replaced by the Maryland School Performance/Progress Index.
According to information provided by MSDE, the new school progress plan will pay special attention to the lowest-achieving 5 percent of schools in the state and the schools with a significant gap between the average scores of the all-student group and the lowest performing subgroup.
Subgroups include minorities, lower income students receiving free or reduced-price meals and special education students. Those schools will be grouped as focus schools, which will have a menu of items to choose from to meet their needs and reduce achievement gaps.
The plan will continue to assess students using MSAs and High School Assessments.
Now that the AYP penalty has been taken away from schools, C. Paul Barnhart Elementary School Principal Amy Hollstein said little has changed in terms of accountability.
In regards to eliminating AYP, "nobody really cares because we want our kids to meet the benchmarks. ... We are holding ourselves accountable," she said.
Malcolm Elementary School Principal Wilhelmina Pugh said that while the AYP measure has been taken away, the goal of getting students to reach full potential remains.
"There is always going to be pressure. You always have to make sure students do the best they can," she said.
Pugh said staff must make sure students can read and are prepared for the future, AYP or not.
Malcolm Elementary School saw gains in both reading and math scores with slight dips in fifth-grade reading and fourth- and fifth-grade math scores.
Malcolm's overall average scores for reading and math were 90.6 and 89.3, respectively.
Malcolm missed its target in both reading and math for special education, with 62.5 percent in reading and 45.8 percent in math for the 24 test takers in the category.
While there is no longer a threat for being placed on the school improvement lists which allowed parents to move their children from a Title I school on the list or sanctions based on the AYP system, Pugh said staff is mindful of looking at the overall needs of each student to boost individual improvements.
"We're on the right track." Pugh said. "We will go back, tweak a few things and stay on course."
Matthew Henson Middle School missed the mark in special education math. Of the 53 students in special education, 25 met the school's goal of 70.5 percent.
Principal Sonia Jones said school staff will continue to work with special education students to build relationships and help meet individual needs.
One way the school will focus on special education is to reach out to the community and get parents more involved, Jones said.
Even with missing one target, "We still have reason to celebrate," Jones said.
Henson saw improvements over last year, especially in eighth-grade math, which jumped from 72.3 percent last year to 84.3 percent this year.
With AYP gone, Jones said there will be no changes at the school in its expectations for children.
Berry Elementary School met all of its targets this year, including in math for special education, which missed the mark last year.
Principal Marvin Jones said he and his staff were not focused on changes to the measuring system.
"We approached [MSAs] as if nothing had changed," he said.
Berry reached a score of 86.5 in reading and 86.3 in math.
According to information from the school system, the state curriculum also is being updated through the state's involvement in the Common Core State Standards Program.
The new standards are aimed to link curricula in English and math from state to state and provide a clear understanding of what students are to learn.
The state curricula based on the standards are not scheduled to be fully implemented until the 2013-14 school year, according to the MSDE website. Charles County public schools will implement the common core standards beginning in the next school year.
Jones said he thanks the school system for being "ahead of the curve" when it comes to common core, and implementing it one year earlier than required.
When it comes to MSAs, Hollstein said while the curriculum will change for Charles County this year, the MSA test will not. She said with new curricula and new textbooks, it will be important to embrace the changes while still staying mindful of getting students to meet state targets.
Hollstein agreed with Jones that it was smart of the school system to implement common core a year early allowing the system to adjust to what soon will be the national standard.
Charles schools Superintendent James E. Richmond said in a newss release that the early shift to common core "will continue to raise the standard of academic excellence and rigor for all students."

The sadness of secrets
Eastern Kentucky author Nancy Jensen'┐Įs first novel,
The Sisters
(St. Martin'┐Įs Press, $24.99; to buy a copy contact your local bookstore or go to
), finishes the story her own family lore never did.
'┐ĮWhen I was about 10 or 11 years old, my sister pushed me into our room and whispered that our grandmother, who had been upset all day, had received a letter telling her that her sister was dead. I knew about my grandmother'┐Įs brothers, but this was the first time I'┐Įd ever heard mention of a sister,'┐Į Jensen says. '┐ĮI tried to ask questions, but my sister shushed me, telling me I must never ask anyone about it'┐Įand especially not Grandma. Later, my mother repeated the same admonition, but I couldn'┐Įt stop thinking about this estranged sister.
'┐ĮOver the years, fragments of the family lore surrounding the sister trickled down to me'┐Įthough my grandmother still kept silent'┐ĮI could not understand, and I could not stop wanting to know, what kind of offense or betrayal could result in one sister'┐Įs deciding to erase another, as if she had never existed.
'┐ĮMy grandmother died without sharing the intricacies of her story, so I knew if I was ever going to have an answer to my question, I'┐Įd have to write it myself.'┐Į
The novel begins in the 1920s with Mabel and Bertie, sisters whose mother died during the birth of a third child. An abusive stepfather leads Mabel to make a choice that will affect not only her and Bertie'┐Įs lives, but every generation following. Though she means well and sees no other way out, Mabel'┐Įs good intentions are misunderstood, and for the rest of her life, Bertie allows the seeds of betrayal to take hold and eventually bury the memory of her sister forever.
Readers will follow each sister'┐Įs family separately, wishing paths could cross, sadly knowing they never will. Despite this, Jensen'┐Įs novel is an emotional and insightful study of the power of a secret, the bonds of family, and the ripple effect one decision can make.

Energy efficiency tip
When doing laundry, use cold water. If your dryer has a moisture meter, use it to prevent over-drying'┐Į50 minutes often works best for a full load. Remember to check your lint filter each time before you run a load to help your dryer run more efficiently (and save energy).

Reusing everything
'┐ĮMy job is a pack rat'┐Įs heaven,'┐Į Mark Gossett will tell you.
Gossett is coordinator of Meade County Solid Waste & Recycling Center in Brandenburg, a 7-acre site where, through a regional interlocal agreement with Breckinridge, Hancock, and Hardin counties, and the city of Irvington, they handle more than a million pounds of recyclables each year.
'┐ĮYou can'┐Įt imagine the things people consider trash,'┐Į Gossett says. '┐ĮWe'┐Įve found chairs, desks, and various items that we'┐Įve rescued, cleaned up, and reused. Until we got so busy, we'┐Įd hold auctions with some of the stuff. But since everything'┐Įs sorted by hand, we don'┐Įt have time anymore.'┐Į
The Center added a new roofed addition last May in order to accommodate their single-stream sorting system to more efficiently process recyclable materials.
'┐ĮWe have 13 employees who sort through loads of trash brought in by semis with attached trailers each day. Every month, five brokers bid for the recyclables, which are then sold and sent to mills. About half the total tonnage is reclaimed newspaper. Once each commodity is weighed and sold, individual counties receive 80 percent of the proceeds,'┐Į Gossett explains. '┐ĮIt'┐Įs a win-win situation. It'┐Įs good for our earth and gives back dollars to our counties.'┐Į

Your Co-op Meeting at the National Convention
The continued success of rural electrification will depend on the degree to which its proponents stress information and education, the nation'┐Įs rural electric cooperatives leaders said at the 20th Annual Meeting of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association at Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The business of the convention was carried out despite many inconveniences for the 6,000 delegates, including about 150 Kentuckians. A three-day storm of wind and rain pushed tides at the ocean-side resort city five feet above normal, disrupting transportation, telephone service, and electric power in some hotels. The essentiality of electricity was brought into sharp focus for conventionaires when many of them had to plod their way up 12 or 15 flights of stairs after elevators were stopped by tidal waters pouring into hotel basements.
NRECA General Manager Clyde T. Ellis called for the establishment of a Department of Rural Development within the Department of Agriculture as a means of improving the lot of America'┐Įs rural population.
Ellis said that powerful lobbies in Washington seek the demise of the cooperative system and '┐ĮWe'┐Įve had to fight with both fists to even stay alive in this program.'┐Į

Woody Guthrie, the opera
Michael Johnathon, the folksinger, songwriter, author, playwright, and host of weekly national radio broadcasts, has released the first act of his original opera.
Woody: For the People
is a tribute to Woody Guthrie, who wrote
This Land Is Your Land
. Guthrie, who would have been 100 this year, began writing the song while making his way back home to New York from the Pacific Northwest where he'┐Įd been writing songs for a documentary. He was trapped in an ice storm outside of Pittsburgh and nearly froze to death until a Pennsylvania ranger found him. The five arias Johnathon has released are based on historical facts.
'┐ĮThe country was in the middle of similar circumstances as today'┐Įan economic meltdown and war'┐Įyet the reaction from people was very different then, compared to now. I think the day Guthrie wrote that song is the most important moment in folk music history. Opera is the grandest of all art forms,'┐Į Johnathon explains. '┐ĮIt'┐Įs so old, it'┐Įs brand new,'┐Į he says.
'┐ĮKids today live such two-dimensional lives and opera is the greatest example of three-dimensional art in history. As fitting with Woody'┐Įs own life, this will be the people'┐Įs opera. My goal for this opera is unique in that it has audience participation as they'┐Įre asked to sing in the chorus with the main characters during performances.'┐Į
The five arias on the CD, '┐Įcomplete with a 34-piece orchestra and six of the finest opera voices in the nation,'┐Į Johnathon says, '┐Įare from Act One of the two-act opera. The three main characters are Guthrie and his two best friends, Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson.'┐Į
The CD includes three additional songs, recorded live, which will be part of the final production, due out this fall.

We actually bought this in red/black to match the red workbench. The shelving unit provides a lot of space to store tools. Right away we lined it with Contact-brand shelf liners to minimize any scratching on the shelf surface. It took about 90-120 minutes for one person to put together.

Bought 3 of these units plus the corner shelving unit. Took one whole day to put together the corner unit and almost another day to put together 2 of the 3 36" wide steel shelving units. Instructions are not very clear and assembly is a two person job. I am extremely handy but this was a frustrating effort. The short bolts if not aligned very careful are easily stripped and their are no extras. Aligning to get the bolts started takes too much time. I will say that once the shelving is put together they are a nice unit and the only reason I gave this 3 stars. Although I would recommend this to a friend it would be with some reservation and suggestions.

Overall the shevles are OK. I was a little disappointed as I had just finished assembling a Craftsman garage cabinet. The cabinet was better constructed and easier to assemble. The shelves did assemble per the instructions but there were a lot of screws and nuts. Given the cabinet the shelf assembly could have been easier. Squaring the shelves, especially aligning the top and bottom shelf sub-assemblies, took a bit of time. I'm picky and like to see "straight shelves." If you want to have shelves that are reasonably straight then you wouldn't need to spend the time that I did. Does the shelf meets its puprose in my garage, "yes," thus the 3-stars.

Very nice product and a good value if you buy it on sale. Assembly instruction were not very good, seems like they were out of order and written by a eight grader somehwere in China and then translated over to english. Wish it came with a few extra pieces of the assembly hardware as the bolts strip easily

The instructions are not clear due to the options available in assy. of the shelves. Assembly is awkward. Shelves are sturdy when put together and look good.

Great shelf! Instructions are slightly difficult to interpret.
Fortville, IN
via sears.com
This shelf was delivered with excellent packing and completely intact. The instructions were a little confusing at first until we mastered the use of the quick-connect tabs, which are then held in place with heavy screws. Once we figured out the first one, the rest was simple. The shelves can be configured with the sides up (closed) or down (open), though I assembled the sides down so they would line up with an adjacent unit. End result was extremely solid, and all panels lined up well. I would recommend this product.

I got this to compliment the corner shelves, since I wanted the perfect garage. I also bought other popular brands from ***** for my basement and to store wood in my garage (96" wide). By comparison, the other shelves went together in about 20% of the time of the Craftsman and didn't require any tools. The other brands could support an elephant, yet the Craftsman feels like flimsy 12 gauge sheet metal. Being excited about the metal from a stain perspective, I thought it was better than the MDF on the other brands, but unfortunately, they scratch very easily. I put a plastic tool case on and it put some good scratches in. For the amount of time it took to put together, it does not feel robust either, slightly wobbly.

Comments: Works great for O rind lube AND the nylon plastic screws found on media reactors, skimmers and float brackets - keeps them from freezing into place.
Comments: I purchased 2 brand new Nu-Clear canister filters and could NOT get them to stop leaking (after MANY tries) they sent me a bottle of this and with the smallest amount on the o-rings the leaks stopped instantly. Filter have been running leak free for 5 months. Still not sure why new filters needed lubing but I am sold on this product and have been using it on all my o-ring. It seems too thin to work and yet IT DOOES. Plus the bottle seals up nicely as opposed to the tubes others come in. I use a Q-tip to dispense it. Great Product.
Comments: I use it all the time when cleaning my pumps. I put it on the treads and the next time I disassemble the pump, the cover comes right off. I use it on the impeller shaft as well. I also put a little on the inside of the hose when inserting the fittings, makes for a much easier assembly. Not really cheap but it's worth the price, even better when it's on sale.
Comments: Good Stuuf, Goes a long ways
Comments: I was really taken aback by this lub at first--it's runny, almost like vegetable oil! I am used to o-ring lubs that are more like Vaseline in texture--thick that you spread on. I must say though, that after lightly oiling this on my ATB's skimmer o-ring (and it spreads like vegetable oil), it works wonderfully. It seems slicker than the heavier greasier silicone lubricants it made me lament for at first... In the end, I'm sold--works better than anything I've ever used in 20 years. Very expensive for this teeny tiny itty bitty tube--but it goes far
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

It appears that ownership from both clubs killed this deal nearly simultaneously Sunday night. Angelos because he's a meddling idiot. McLane because he didn't want Oswalt to wind up cross-state with the Rangers.Originally Posted by Krall
Houston was willing to part with Oswalt because they really need offense and it was clear that Oswalt is going to test free agency after 2007. I can't see them getting a better player in return for Oswalt than Tejada between now and next year's deadline, especially considering Tejada is signed for reasonable numbers through 2009.

Senior Judge Harry Edwards of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit was on a panel Tuesday that unanimously rejected a Guantánamo Bay detainee's petition for release from custody. But that doesn't mean the judge liked it.
