We're smack in the middle of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and if your head isn't hurting yet, you haven't been paying attention. Fortunately, a elite corps of critics are on the job, and so are we. Today, Scorecard has compiled sound bites from the reviews of Abaeté, ADAM, Alexander Wang, Barbara Tfank, BCBG Max Azria, Bibhu Mohapatra, Charlotte Ronson, Christian Cota, Costello Tagliapietra, Cushnie et Ochs, Davidelfin, Elise Overland, Jason Wu, Jenni Kayne, Karen Walker, Koi Suwannagate, Lacoste, Lyn Devon, Monique Lhuillier, Nicole Miller, Ohne Titel, Prabal Gurung, Rachel Comey, Rachel Roy, Rag & Bone, Ruffian, Shipley & Halmos, Stærk, Threeasfour, TSE, United Bamboo, Vena Cava, VPL and Yigal Azrouël. Which Nepalese newbie was feeling the critics' love, and which CFDA/Vogue Fund winner wasn't? Find out below.
Prabal Gurung
Designer: Prabal Gurung
Date and Location: Thursday, Feb. 12, 6 p.m., Flag Art Foundation, 545 West 25th Street

- " 'Saint Laurent was all I knew in Nepal,' Mr. Gurung said. That sounds like a title for a short story. It would go something like: New designer cuts through muddle and makes good sophisticated clothes." (The New York Times)
- "made a bold statement in black, white, and red . . . [and] were also unabashedly luxe, with such extravagances as double-faced cashmere, hand-sewn feathers and embroideries done in India. But Gurung, who explained that dresses will retail for around $2,200, is unbowed. 'I just want to do beautiful, well-made clothes,' he said. Godspeed." (style.com)
- "[Gurung's] clothes seem suited perfectly to chic grown-ups" (WWD)

This place was by far the worst My buddy rwad reviews that were good and it was decently rated, but it was nasty, poorly located and I found the vathroom window open and not securable. It was completely horrible. I would not ever stay again and I can only assume that the good reviews were posted by the owners.

Recently I was involved in a little low budget affair. I was a thesis project for a design student, kind of a fashion movie for an independent clothing line..
She developed the concept together with the DoP. Then I came on board as an editor and VFX supervisor and added a little sci-fi twist to the concept.
Shot on Red One MX with red primes in 3k 50p for the most part.
Edited in Premiere.
Conformed, pregraded and converted to EXR with Redcine X.
All the effects work and final grading done in After Effects.
CG elements modeled and rendered in 3dsmax.
Here's the final short film:
And here's the VFX making of:
Director: Marissa Maghavipata
Cinematoghraphy: Stefan Preilowski
Music: Georg Rohbeck
Sound Design: Tilman Hahn
Editing & Visual Effects: Benni Diez
It was a great experience, mainly because it was not for commercial purpose and therefore there were no creative restrictions.
When everyone gives their best, although there's no budget and no profit to gain from a project, there's a truly special feeling when all comes together in the end, that you rarely have on regular jobs.

When's the vindicator rework coming?
Last edited by xanderK; 02-26-2012 at 03:27 PM.
It hasn't gone away!
He's still being worked on and tested. Actually, the designers are very pleased with his progress thus far and appears to be an improvement from his previous incarnation.
Vindicator has been in flux for a long time. His rework was supposed to go into the game a few weeks ago but ended up being changed again at the last second and is still undergoing testing.
The main point of the rework is to make the hero less frustrating to play against while still keeping his relative strength. Sage's Lore is a great example of this. The spell is ridiculous early game and makes laning against Vindicator a chore. Then it becomes almost useless late game. The reworked Vindicator is far better than the old version and will surely make a lot of you happy when it gets released.

I've been informed, by someone who was there with me, that today is the 50th anniversary of the first ever gig I attended.
It was The Shadows with Cliff Richard and I remember it very well. The Shadows were excellent.
For some reason I have felt quite depressed since learning of this, maybe because it makes me feel very old.

50, FemaleUnited States Member Since: November 29 2010
It is my mom's 82nd birthday and I don't know of a better gift to give her than for me to quit smoking - this was my thoughts this morning. I really have wanted to quit for me for awhile and have had a lot of days of not smoking and then a slip and then I get right back up and start again as I just do not like this. I am quitting today for myself, but using my mothers birthday as an added incentive. I don't want to loose this date - not one puff ever as I know deep down I will never be a controlled smoker - God knows I have tried!! A friend sent me this saying ......if you are sick of starting over - quit giving up! I will probably enter my entries in the evening from now on as that is usually my roughest time and I do a journal entry each morning that I have committed to and have done really well and am not going to give that up. With working I only have so much computer time in the morning. I have become more health conscious and this smoking is just not fitting into that picture.....it is time to say goodbye forever. So just for today I will not smoke!

I'm wondering if this annual festival could have evolved this way in a place where the water is cold.
Danish Siddiqui / Reuters
Devotees carry an idol of the Hindu elephant god Ganesh, the deity of prosperity, for immersion in the sea on the last day of "Ganesh Chaturthi", in Mumbai on September 22, 2010. Idols of Ganesh are made two to three months before the day of "Ganesh Chaturthi", a popular religious festival in India. The idols are taken through the streets in a procession accompanied by dancing and singing, to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual send-off of his journey towards his abode in "Kailash", while taking away with him the misfortunes of all mankind.

Spring 2013 VITA Information
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program is a tax return preparation course Loyola administers with its partners, the Internal Revenue Service and the California Office of the State Controller. Returns are usually prepared for students, elderly taxpayers and working taxpayers who would otherwise have to pay private services up to $85 or more for tax preparation services. The basic features of the one or two unit course are:
- The basic course is a one-unit externship course. You may enroll in a two unit course, but you will be working exclusively with the Office of the California State Controller if you choose the two unit option.
- Completion of either the one or two unit courses automatically satisfies the Public Interest Graduation Requirement for 2D or 3E students;
- Enrollment Preference: There will be room in the course for 80 students in Spring, 2013. Preference in enrollment goes first to 3E students, and then to 2D students.
- Repeat enrollment: You may enroll in the VITA course as a second time course taker, but to do so, you must commit to the two unit course at the Office of the State Controller. They are happy to enroll students who are already trained, and quickly put them to work in quality control reviewing the returns prepared by other VITA volunteers. Repeat enrollees must take and complete the test for basic and intermediate tax preparation, and attend the mandatory class for tax updates.
- The course number for the one unit course is 5N3-01. Enroll as you would for any other class through the SWS system. The course number for the two unit course is 5N3-03. Enroll as you would for any other class through the SWS system.
- The one unit course involves preparing for and completing basic tax preparation tests in IRS materials. Materials will be available in the Graphics Department by December 1. The materials will direct you to the IRS "Link and Learn" training web site for instruction. You will be required to complete the basic and intermediate tests, print out your certifications when you are done, and bring them to the Mandatory Class Meeting on Jan. 26 (see next paragraph). Before you start, check the Externship VITA TWEN site, where we will post the training video from last year to help you go through the problems involved in the tests. You must also attend the mandatory training class in January, and provide 25 tax preparation service hours at any VITA site that will accept your certification or is otherwise affiliated or approved by Loyola.
- The two unit course involves passing the basic and intermediate tests, attending the mandatory Saturday training meeting, and providing 77 tax preparation or service hours at the Office of the State Controller (the gleaming white tower located at 7th and Figueroa – the Loyola shuttle drops you off within a block and will pick you up in front of the building).
- Mandatory class meeting: All VITA students must attend a mandatory training class on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013 from 10 am to 2 pm in the Hall of the 70's. Don't enroll in the course if you can't attend the training class (please contact Professor Blanco (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you cannot attend the training class for religious reasons). The meeting will address course requirements, ethics and professionalism at your VITA site, use of Tax Wise software, and intake and tax return packaging procedures. A training professional from the Office of the State Controller will walk you through several hypothetical tax returns, advise you about tax updates and make sure you know intake and tax preparation procedures for the clients you assist.
- Tax wise software: The IRS materials will reference you to a site where you can begin to become familiar with the Tax Wise software that you will be using for tax preparation services. The more familiar you become with the software, the more understandable the training session will be at the mandatory meeting.
- Service delivery dates and locations: The one unit course requires 25 hours of service delivery (usually in 4-6 hours shifts) and the two unit course requires 77 hours of service delivery (25 + 52 hours, also usually in 4-6 hour shifts). Sites are still being identified, but they will include the Office of the State Controller that is accessible via the Loyola shuttle. Weekday and evening sites will be arranged. Additional information will be provided at the mandatory training session on Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013 in the Hall of the 70's.
- Office of the State Controller "Mega-VITA" days: The State Controller will be scheduling some all day events where you can easily get in 8 hours in one day of tax preparation services. These events are usually on a Saturday. We will have dates for you at the mandatory class meeting.
- No half or part time sessions: You must be prepared to stay for the entire session when you are providing services.
- Sign up for services: Signups will be online through TWEN. The procedure for site signups will be addressed at the mandatory meeting. You may not sign up for a service shift unless your training certifications have been turned in at the mandatory training meeting or to the Externship Office, Founders Hall 240.
- No signup cancellations: Sign up carefully! We need to rely on you to be in attendance to assist taxpayers who will also rely on you to be there. We might let you cancel if you have the swine flu or the bird flu or whatever exotic flu is going around, but not for much else.
- Time sheets: Time sheets will be provided at the mandatory class and are always posted on the VITA TWEN page. All time sheets are due in the Externship Office no later than April 30, 2013 to complete the course.
- Sites other than Loyola spondored sites: If you are able to find a VITA preparation site other than the sites provided by Loyola, and if the site agrees to accept you as a Tax Wise certified preparer, you are welcome to provide your services hours at a site that you locate. We will try to provide you with a reference sheet for VITA sites that may be more convenient for you.
- Involuntary withdrawal from VITA: If you fail to attend the mandatory training or if you fail to submit your certification of Tax Wise course completion at the training class on Jan. 26, 2013 in the Hall of the 70's, you agree that you may be involuntarily withdrawn from the VITA course for the one unit of credit.

By David Ginsburg The Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Roy Williams laughs at the notion that he purposely planned to have North Carolina playing its best basketball at the end of the season.
"I don't know how to make my team peak and neither does anybody else," Williams said with a knowing grin after the Tar Heels coasted past Maryland 79-68 Wednesday night. "I'm not smarter than the other guy. If I knew how to make my team peak, then so would they."
Maybe so, but the Tar Heels have won a season-high six straight as they prepare to face Duke on Saturday night before heading into the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.
"They really have come a long way," Williams said.
Yes, after losing their first two ACC games, the Tar Heels have bounced back in impressive fashion. They've clinched a first-round bye in the ACC tournament and could climb into a tie for second place with a victory against Duke.
"They should feel very good about what they've done, and hopefully they have a lot of games to play," Williams said.
P.J. Hairston scored 22, Reggie Bullock had 19 points and 12 rebounds, and North Carolina (22-8, 12-5) never trailed after closing the first half with a 10-0 run to go up 34-27.
The Tar Heels have won six in a row against Maryland, including the ACC tournament last year.
"I'm really proud of them," Williams said. "I've brought some really good teams in here. We won a national championship in '09 but we didn't win here. I really liked the way our kids competed."
Much has been said about North Carolina's small lineup, but in this game, the 6-foot-7 Bullock and 6-5 Hairston were the difference.
"We're having fun out there with the small lineup," Bullock said. "Having P.J. in the lineup, he's like my brother. He puts a smile on my face, and we feed off each other."
James Michael McAdoo scored 10 for the Tar Heels, who went 10-for-24 from beyond the arc and outscored the Terrapins 19-11 at the foul line. North Carolina hasn't lost since Feb. 13 at Duke and has won 12 of 15 in the ACC.
Dez Wells led Maryland (20-10, 8-9) with 18 points and Nick Faust had 16. The Terrapins missed 20 of 23 attempts from 3-point range.

great temporary screens
By getitright112
from Atwater, Ca.
About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Mesh Door Screen:
i have owned a few of these and I always have to modify them because of boys & pets. But or the price it is worth it since regular screen door lets in more flies when you walk thru the door.I am buying 3 more [one for a spare]& using the old ones for the garage window.
good but needs more supplies
By girl with dogs
from Pomona California
I use this for my bedroom door so I can leave it open and my dogs can go in and out of it easily. The first assembly was great but the Velcro would not stick to the sticky that was in the package so we had to use screws to keep the Velcro up. It breaks away easy when the girls step on it without ripping. Other than the Velcro it is a great product I am ordering another one for my living room door
I would buy this product again

Perfect for the price.
By Kelly

About Me Midrange Shopper
You will definitely have to buy a strip of industrial strength velcro to put along the top. I had to staple the mesh to the new velcro. Despite the extra money for the new velcro, and the time it took to modify it, it is a great deal for the money. Not to mention, when it wears out (and it will) you can grab another one and not break the bank. I will be buying a few more just to have as backup next time it goes on sale.
Do NOT buy!
By JoAnna
from Philadelphia, PA
The screen fell down within a week of installation and use. And it didn't quite fit the door to begin with, so we had to nail it to the doorframe. We're waiting for another screen door to replace this waste of time and money.
Easy to Install and use.

Easy to install. Keeps out bugs, birds, etc. Easy entrance and exit with this screen.

A freedom door
By Skicutch
from Tucson, AZ
I use two stretchable spring dowels to place in entryway - one on the inside and the second on the outside. This allows our dog to come and go as his needs dictate. This also allows us to alter the extent of door opening to minimize entry into the house by birds and other wildlife.

What a transformation
By Cole
from Jacksonville Florida
We have french doors in our living room that had sliding screens originally until my daughters friend destroyed them by running through them,it was going to cost a couple hundred of dollars to replace because the frames also were destroyed,so we could no longer open them for a nice breeze because of the bugs.So we bought 2 screens for less than [$] including shipping,problem solved,even the dogs love coming and going as they please.would recommend it to anyone who needs a screen door.
NOT for 36" doors!
By Smiling Sue
from Fayetteville, NC
When I received this screen, the first thing I did was measure the width, which is EXACTLY 36". Since the INSIDE measurement is 36", I did not even bother to install the screen, as there was no leeway to use the velcro on the sides. I can also see that if the doorway was used frequently,it would soon be a hassle to constantly turn around and line up the velcro so the bugs could not get in.[...] I really lost out buying this item.
Very neat, I would buy again.
By Islah
from Chicago,IL
I use product to cut down on insect moving in.

Will that make the turkey taste better?
Yeah, that feels a little better. |
Feel better? Just a little? Yes, those were the Clippers, who looked as bad as they did in the darkest days of Clipperworld at times, so there's that grain of salt to take but, still, given the alternative, not a bad outcome.
And if you're tempted to downplay the win – as many are, I'm sure – remember this: There are no good wins and bad wins. Only wins. It's what they play for and no matter how they accomplish it, a win's a win's a win.
Yes, it might have been more impressive had Marcus Camby played or if Zach Randolph hadn't been hurt but you face what you face and the Raptors looked good at times.
And now, two days to digest it before the Sacramento Kings, and whoever coaches them now, await on Boxing Day.
Action: Jake Voskuhl's tough.
Reaction: Providing something they need.
I remember the day they signed Jake and a guy who knows him a little bit had this to say, or words to the effect:
"Jake's a real good guy. Yeah, he'll smack someone in the face if he has to, or hammer someone. But then he'll say 'sorry' and he's a nice guy."
Well, watching him last night and I'm not sure if there's an apology but going hard after a rebound without a care in the world who was in his way –- it turned out to be Zach Randolph – was something you don't see from the Raptors often enough.
Not a dirty play, just a good, aggressive one.
So the First Lady Of The Beat is the (justifiably) proud parent of a two-sport star of a daughter who's just finished up four excellent years of track and soccer at Rice University.
And, it seems, providing guys like me with snippets of news you'll likely find interesting.
Seems Damon Stoudamire, who is not coming back to play in Toronto despite the wishes of so many of you, is ready to get on with the next phase of his life, even as fans clamour for him to play again.
He's taken on the job as director of player development for the Owls.
That's pretty much the same job Shawn Respert, another ex-Raptor had.
Damon, as you'll recall from earlier this year, expressed interest in the Arizona coaching job (they had KO, how bad would it be to get a guy with no experience?) and it seems he knows what he wants to do in the future.
Action: Eddy Curry or Stephon Marbury?
Reaction: Someone's on crack.
If the Raptors trade or obtain either of those team-killing stiffs, please call an ambulance because Bryan Colangelo will have suffered some serious seizure and will need immediate medical assistance.
I've been assured that the report yesterday was, frankly, as incorrect as you can possibly imagine.
No more questions about it, it's not remotely possible.
A TV question, sort of:
Q: Since we (Raps fans with Rogers) have been screwed out of watching our team, What are your thoughts of watching it on Sites i.e: Justin.tv something we can use for leverage with the big Red Empire and the little engine that tries??
Lanny E, Whitby
A: I've never seen a single second on any of those streaming sights so I have no idea whether they're any good or not. But no, they are not leverage by any stretch of the imagination. It's pretty obvious that no matter what they say, they don't care a lick about you or any other Raptor fan with Rogers.
Action: One bad shot
Reaction: Bad clock realization?
How many of you almost spat out whatever you were drinking with Jamario took a three-pointer in the dying seconds of the first quarter, a shot he missed with 22 seconds left in the period and 14 still to go on the shot clock?
The only explanation, and this is giving a big benefit of the doubt, is that maybe he just misread the clock and was trying to get his team a 2-for-1 opportunity. It's the only logical point, isn't it? Raps get the ball with 32 seconds left by the play-by-play I'm reading and maybe Jamario figures if he rushes a bad shot, it's a good thing. Trouble was, he didn't rush enough.
They don't give the Clippers nearly as much ink out in L.A. as they do the other team from the Staples Center but here's what they said today.
Let's put this issuse to bed:
Q: Hey Doug, happy holidays! I asked this one before but it didn't get answered and I was so impressed with it I'd thought I'd try again. Do you think Bosh is upset about Mitchell's firing? If so, is it (unconsciously) affecting his game?
Geoff R, Thunder Bay
A: No. Not at all. Not a bit. Bosh's went into a slump. It happens. Coincidence pure and simple. Had nothing to do with an abiding love for his ex-coach.
Action: They win.
Reaction: Rousing applause
It's almost 1 a.m. in the local, the post-hockey, post-football crowd has thinned -- it's like these two dudes Darrel and Jas and about 40 others in various stages of having fun -- and when the Raptors win, the crowd erupts in cheers. Really. For beating the Clippers.
Yes, you are a passionate lot.
Anyone else glad we won't have to see Penny Marshall hanging with Jack and Matt anymore? She got more air time than some players last night and her stopping by the say hello to the broadcasters was played in an endless loop it seems.
Action: Bosh, 31 and 7.
Reaction: If they don't trade his sorry under-achieving, over-paid, non-franchise-guy-being behind by this time tomorrow, Bryan should lose his job.
'Nuff said?
Another question:
Q: The Guru's at TNT (Charles Barkly et al) made a comment a few days ago about the fact that the firing of coaches in the NBA recently is a result of GM's trying to cover up their mistakes, what do you think? The fact that Colangelo keeps going to Europe to get his players seems to me like trying to build a team on the cheap. You cannot win a lot of NBA games with FIBA players period.
David B, Barrie
A: Yes, I think there are times when coaches get fired because GMs construct odd rosters. A perfect case in point right now is Philly. Mo Cheeks had them playing an entertaining, and successful style, without a big man to bog things down. What's his GM do? Get him a big man to bog things down.
And yes, you are 1,000 per cent correct. What team could possibly win a lot of games with FIBA players? I was asking that question just the other day of a friend of mine in San Antonio, where that Euro-trained team is so bad it's scary.

Former Spain coach Luis Aragones retires
MADRID (AP) Former Spain coach Luis Aragones, the founder of the country's "tiki-taka" style of football, says he is retiring.
The 75-year-old Aragones, who last coached in 2009 at Turkish club Fenerbahce, tells Spanish online magazine Voxpopuli that "age has retired me. When I left Turkey I knew it would be difficult to continue and today it is definitive."
After coaching various Spanish clubs, Aragones took over Spain's national team in 2004 and transformed it from a perennial underachiever into the 2008 European champion.

How to Apply to College for Free
College applications can be expensive, but there are ways to avoid the fees.
4. If you have financial need: Don't let tight finances keep you from your college dreams. Of the 1,800 colleges U.S. News surveyed in 2012, 1,300 reported that they will waive the application fee for students who demonstrate financial need, including Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Colorado—Boulder.
With proof of financial need, students may be able to secure fee waivers from the National Association of College Admission Counseling, and students who have received an SAT/ACT fee waiver can apply for free passes from the College Board. Students can also go to guidance counselors at their high schools for help; at schools such as Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa, a fee waiver signed by a counselor grants a free application.
"Your new best friend is your college guidance counselor—there's no one more important in your life right now," notes Sarah McGinty, author of The College Application Essay. "I would say to any student: Make that appointment and get yourself in there and say, 'Here's my financial situation.'"
[Get tips on paying for college.]
5. If you simply apply: At some colleges, there are no requirements standing in students' way of a free application. Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., for example, charges no students to apply.
"When students are applying to several institutions, it becomes very expensive," says Juliet Johnson, the college's senior associate dean of admissions. "We did not want to create a barrier to applicants."
Rhode Island's Johnson and Wales University and Eastern Nazarene College in Massachusetts each offer free applications, too.
6. If you're a go-getter: It's not too early to begin communication with college officials at your top-choice schools—and it might be worthwhile to reach out and inquire about ways to apply for free.
Stellar students with the grades to get into top colleges but who want to, for example, attend a local school with less stringent admissions standards, could contact that institution before applying, notes Allen Koh, chief executive officer of college admissions firm Cardinal Education.
"By reaching out to them, saying, 'It's my No. 1 choice; here are my GPA and my SAT scores,' ... you can actually ask them, 'Could we start with a fee waiver?'" Koh says. "It will absolutely pay off."

I was a bit disappointed at the colour of the scarf as in real life it is more coppery than pink. However, I can think of an alternative use for it (when I'm not wearing it)... down the middle of my diningroom table on top of a black table cloth, for Halloween! :)
Lavish for sure
By Bush Bunny
from LODGEPOLE, AB
Purchased 4 of these...One purple for a wrap over a purple dress for a wedding, gold and silver & rose for inside colar of coats and wraps on jackets. Tehy are delightful...Thankyou Joan
By Debora N
from Vancouver
I purchased the Rose and the Gold, but also wanted the Silver, but that was sold out. I'm really glad I did, because I was well prepared ahead of the holidays. I liked the length, but I think I would have liked it just a little wider as I am a full figured woman that likes to have my upper arms hidden. Otherwise, it is a perfect and reasonably priced way to dress up an outfit.

Not the Quality as Expected
By Marjorie
from Edmonton
I ordered the black sequin shawl thinking that it would be a nice compliment as an cover piece for several sleeveless black dresses. The dimensions were of a very nice size and it gave good coverage. But I found the shawl quite scratchy against the skin, and for that reason alone I would not be able to wear it. I also found that the sequins did not take much of a rub to release. I had to pick up quite a few off my white rug in the few minutes that it took to take out of the bag, wrap it around the dress, and fold it to put back into the bag to return. I had mixed feelings on the design. As another customer stated, it had a spanish influence to it with the deeply scalloped edging. It was just too much between the sequins and the scallops. And I do like wearing sequins.

Couldn't carry this one off
By JoAnne Mercedes
from Victoria BC
Difficult to rate when something just isn't for you but might be 5 stars for someone else. Your first reviewer, 'Love Clothes' says it all for me, I thought the same regarding Spanish Church with a touch of flamenco. I live off the west coast of Canada and we tend to dress a little less glitzy so I sent it back, hoping it would find a more appreciative home.

It's nice, but not my style...
By Love Clothes
from Mississauga
Nothing wrong with this at all. It just looked too Spanish-church for me and I wasn't thrilled with it. I didn't keep it because I KNOW there will be much more to come from Joan's line that I will love without question. That's what I look for when I shop. It must say WOW all the way and without doubt.
Sparkly perfection....
By Cupcake
from Soo, Ontario
I just received my lavish, sparkly blue scarf and it could not be more beautiful. It will work well as an accompaniment shawl with my navy satin evening gown. The scarf is stunning with its multitude of sequins and it drapes beautifully. It is simply gorgeous and I feel like a princess when I wear it. It is the perfect addition to a dressy wardrobe.
Very nice scarf
By Eve
from Stouffville, Ontario
I jusr received mine in black. Yes it is a beautiful scarf but too flashy for me so it will have to be returned.

These make excellent quality presents - they pack up small, don't crease if they are kept dry, and the sense of humour makes them really good for taking abroad for present. Or you can give them to visitors who come from overseas without giving them baggage problems on their return. Both the colours - greem and fuschia - stand out in a crowd and are very well made.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! Fell in love when I first looked at it :) Great fit, event hough you may need a size down as I did when I tried my usual size because it is rather generous and has a lovely feel all over. Super idea for a t-shirt design since the British weather can never make up its mind whatever the season! GREAT product, definitely would recommend!
30/06/2013 07:10:16
I bought this for my 14 yr old daughter. She's very pleased with it. The teal is a gorgeous colour, it's true to size and good quality. I'm tempted to buy one for myself in a different colour. Highly recommended. Delivery was very quick too.
21/04/2012 11:57:06
Love these t'shirts. True to size and lovely colours. The neckline and bust is flattering while plenty of stretch to cover yummy tummies! Be prepared for people to stare at the sheep - on your bust!!

Will no doubt be a conversation opener when I wear this ..... good old mock at British Weather - but its fun, its roomy and its bright and cheerful. Who says we have to be serious all the time :)
03/05/2012 23:17:01
This is great, it is fun to wear and the fit is excellent because of the stretch cotton. So great that I've bought one for myself and three as presents for other people.

Excellent T shirt. Fantastic neckline not too high and not too low. Colour is lovely. Very comfortable. Would like this with long sleeves also. Perfect
31/08/2013 08:39:10
Please stop putting elastane into women's t shirts - it means they are inferior to the men's shirts which are thicker. Still excellent though

A brighter idea for college dorms
December 4th, 2013
Lighting innovations have taken the world by storm over the past few years, moving us from the incandescent bulb of Edison's day, to LED lights that use 10 percent of the energy. This efficiency gain is helping colleges brighten up for less, and also creating safer, more pleasant dorm rooms, hallways and byways. Read about how North Carolina State University is lighting the way forward.

Herbert Hoover & the Jewish Vote (right-click to copy direct link)
President Herbert Hoover
New York City Saturday, December 29, 2012
History Professor Sonja Schoepf Wentling analyzes the relationship between President Herbert Hoover and prominent Jewish political leaders in the 1920s. Hoover's work after World War I to coordinate humanitarian aid to Polish Jews helped him earn credibility with Jewish leaders, who in turn supported his presidential bid. This event took place at Fordham University Law School.

Who doesn't love Ghostbusters? The cheesy 80s music, the ridiculously over-the-top special effects, and the bumbling antics of Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz and Winston… Churchill? (IMDB says his last name was Zeddmore. Do they ever say that in the movie? I certainly don't remember it.) quickly became cultural icons from 1984 and well into the nineties. Cartoon shows were created. Delicious flavors of Kool Aid were spawned. The merchandising potential was endless.
So then fast forward about twenty years when Ghostbusters writers Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd got the old team together and decided to produce a game as a sequel to Ghostbusters 2. Aykroyd, Ramis, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson all gave eachother one final high-five and teamed up to do some of the best voice acting available in current generation games. But don't go busting out the proton packs just yet. Ghostbusters has its share of problems as well, and you're not going to be able to make them go away by stashing them in a containment unit.

Information from ASH has turned up which suggests that 3% of smokers in the UK use onlyecig electronic cigarettes. This is probably not a reliable figure (ASH dreams stuff like this up for their own entertainment) but it's the only one I've seen so I thought I'd do the sums to see what implications compulsory medical licensing might have for the smoking community.
If the survey figures mentioned below from ASH and ecigarettedirect are reliable, then around 7 or 9% of smokers have tried ecigs and 3% are current users (I was a bit confused about whether they meant 3% of the 9% or 3% of all smokers but was told it's 3% of all smokers). 85% will use the black market for ecig products if they can't buy their gear legally and/or 62% will return to smoking or smoke more.
There are around 62m people in the UK
approx 22% of those are smokers = 13.64m
if 3% of all smokers use ecigs that's = 409,200
if 85% of ecig users buy supplies from unapproved, unregulated sources that's = 348,000 people
and if 62% of ecig users start smoking again or smoke more then smoking numbers will increase by = 253,700
So ASH UK and ASH Scotland know that 400,000 vapers will be stuffed if their policy to close the harm reduction/recreational nicotine market goes through.
Sounds like a big win for public health ... not!
I'm not sure how going back to smoking for ASH will make sense in the grand scheme of things,they haven't been able to tell me who actually will benefit from closure of the recreational market. I suspect that they're so addicted to smokers that they don't want to lose us and there's more money to be thrown at developing the cessation industry. Don't forget, we won't be patients and use those medical products and facilities if we manage to wriggle out of the strangle hold they have on smokers in some other way.

Notre Dame seeks its fourth straight victory Saturday afternoon when it hosts Navy as the longtime rivals meet for the 87th straight season. The Fighting Irish are coming off their most lopsided win of the year, a 45-10 rout at Air Force. They have put a 3-2 start in the rear view mirror and are gearing up for a challenging stretch run that ends with a visit to Stanford on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The Midshipmen also took care of Air Force earlier in the year and are coming off a 24-21 win over Pittsburgh last Saturday. A 30-yard field goal as time expired was the difference as Navy scored 10 points in the final three-plus minutes to improve to 3-0 at home. The Midshipmen have dropped three straight on the road, however, including two to non-BCS conference schools.TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Notre Dame -17ABOUT NAVY (4-3): Kicker Nick Sloan was the hero with the game-winner against Pittsburgh, finding redemption after missing an extra point in the second overtime that led to a 45-44 loss to Toledo a week earlier. However, quarterback Keenan Reynolds continued to be the catalyst, throwing for 105 yards and a score and running for 93 yards and a touchdown, his 11th on the ground this season. Reynolds' efforts have driven the nation's 10th-ranked rushing attack, which was held to 149 yards on 40 attempts in last season's 50-10 loss to the Irish in Dublin.ABOUT NOTRE DAME (6-2): The rout of the Falcons last Saturday came on the strength of Tommy Rees' arm, as the senior produced a career-high five touchdown passes one week after he suffered a strained neck in a win over USC. Irish head coach Brian Kelly is 20-2 at Notre Dame in November, which bodes well for a team that hopes to climb back into the BCS picture after its slow start. "I think if we take care of business and win week after week, we've got some quality teams in front of us, I think we're right where we need to be," Kelly said in his Sunday press conference.EXTRA POINTS 1. Navy averages just 3.14 penalties and 26.43 penalty yards per game, the lowest marks in the nation in each category.2. With his five TDs last week, Rees moved past Ron Powlus and into third place on the school's all-time list with 54 scoring passes, six behind Jimmy Clausen.3. After losing three of four to the Midshipmen, the Irish have won the last two by a combined 106-24 margin. Notre Dame has a 73-12-1 series lead.PREDICTION: Notre Dame 31, Navy 14

But in the postseason, the Warriors have suddenly caught a rising surge of momentum. LCSC completed its impressive romp through the Frontier Conference tournament with a 99-75 bombardment of Montana-Western in the championship game Saturday night.
It's the Warriors' second straight FC tournament title, and locks up a return trip to the NAIA Division I national tournament later this month at Kansas City, Mo. It will be LCSC's sixth appearance at nationals, but the first time it has gone in consecutive seasons.
And at the moment, the Warriors are sizzling. They were the third seed, but had little trouble blasting Montana State-Northern and Westminster as they advanced to this championship-game blowout.
"I think we are playing some of our best basketball at the right time," L-C coach George Pfeifer said, "and I hope that we just continue to do that when we get to this next venue."
Saturday's victory over UMW was similar to the earlier wins: LCSC used lights-out shooting to build an early lead, and got a heroic performance from a somewhat overshadowed player.
Forward Chris Pitts collected 20 points and 15 rebounds (seven of which were offensive). Most of the 6-foot-9 sophomore's production came in the second half, when the Warriors began pounding the ball inside.
L-C led by as much as 11 points in the first half, but the potent Bulldogs rallied early in the second half. They were within five points with less than 15 minutes remaining.
At that juncture, Pitts made consecutive putbacks, and that sparked a 9-1 charge. Joey Ray's 3-pointer with 9:10 remaining then put the Warriors up 13, and the lead remained double-digits the rest of the night.
In the first half, LCSC went bananas from outside, hitting 10 of 15 3-point tries. Clarkston High product Justin Fraser, who canned four of those first-half bombs, finished with 17 points -- one better than the career high he established on Friday.
Still, UMW was within seven points at halftime after hitting 53 percent of its first-half shots.
"I though we guarded really hard; we didn't give up much. And they were just making tough, tough shots," Pfeifer said. "But in the second half, they shot 28 percent. ... I thought our defensive pressure wore them down."
The Warriors (25-8) grew into one of the NAIA's best defensive team as the season progressed, but their offense had occasional trouble. In this tournament, however, they averaged 87.7 points and shot well over 50 percent.
LCSC assistant coach Tim Walker "has been pestering me for a month to put this different motion offense in," Pfeifer said. "The other thing we were running didn't seem to produce points, so we put it in. ... It's been great for us; the kids have been playing with some freedom.
"You look at our scoring and, all of a sudden, now we're in the 90s," he added. "Now you couple that with our defense ... I wish the national tournament was this weekend."
Statistics from this game were not available due to technical problems at Butte.
NOTES -- The Warriors' previous trips to nationals came in 1992, '96, 2000, '02 and '04. Pfeifer has been the coach for all of them. ... The tournament gets going March 16, and pairings will be announced in a few days. ... LCSC's Martin Brothers and Danny Allen were named first-team picks on the All-Frontier Conference team, and Spencer Bishop was deemed defensive player of the year. On the women's side, the Warriors' Ashley Baker and Nikki Haerling were first-team selections while Haerling was named newcomer of the year. ... In Saturday's women's championship game, Carroll beat Montana-Western 73-72.

President Obama supports a raise of the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour from its current $7.25. An administration official told the New York Times that the White House is fully behind the 2013 Fair Minimum Wage Act. The proposed law would also raise the cash wage for tipped employees until the tip credit reaches 70% of the regular minimum wage. Currently, the federally mandated base minimum wage for tipped workers is only $2.13, provided that they make at least $7.25 per hour when tips are factored in.
