Israel Hayom is Israel's most widely read newspaper, according to a survey released Wednesday by independent market research firm TGI.
The survey examined the period between July 2010 to June 2011 and determined that Israel Hayom was read by 38.2 percent of the public during that time. Israel's second-largest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth had a 35.8% market share during the same period.
Israel Hayom
Numbers for the past half-year show an even more marked increase in readership. Between January and June 2011, Israel Hayom enjoyed a 39.3% market share, up from 37.4% between July and December 2010.
During that same period, Yedioth Ahronoth increased its readership as well, rising from 34.9% between July and December of 2010, to 37.0% between January and June of 2011. Yedioth's market share increase came at the expense of other daily newspapers.
The statistics indicate a decline in the market exposure of Ma'ariv and Ha'aretz newspapers. Readership of Ma'ariv has declined by 10%, down from 13.4% in the last half year to 12.1% (12.5% over the previous half year, one year ago). For Ha'aretz, the decline was close to 15%, from 6.8% in the last half year, to 5.8% (6.4% over the previous half year, one year ago). The results of the survey for Ma'ariv were expected. The survey was conducted before IDB's acquisition of the newspaper, and the launching of Ma'ariv's new weekend version, events that have significantly impacted Ma'ariv's newsstand distribution.
Amid declining newspaper readership all over the world, the battle between Israel's two top dailies has actually pushed overall newspaper readership in Israel upward, said Eitan Kasif of the TNS Tele-Gal Israel institute, which conducts surveys for TGI in Israel.
A glance at the half year of January to June of 2011, shows an increase over the period of July to December 2010. Overall newspaper readership jumped to 65.2% from 64.7% in that period. Daily newspaper readership saw a sharper jump, from 60.9% to 64.8% when you compare July 2009-June 2010 with July 2010-June 2011.
There is also an increase in the readership of weekend newspapers, whereby the percentage of the period between July 2009 and June 2010 was 61.2%, and rose to 63.3% for the period between July 2010 and June 2011. The percentage of readership in the second half of the year (62.9% from January to June of 2011), is slightly lower than that of the first half of the year (63.7% from July to December 2010), despite the increase in exposure to Israel Hayom and Yedioth Ahronoth's weekend editions, although this gap is not so significant.
About the survey
TGI's marketing surveys are handled in Israel by TNS Tele-Gal, under the professional guidance of the research department of Israel's Public Relations Association. TGI's database is created by surveying a representative sample of Jews aged 18 years and above. Those interviewed represent a population of 3.96 million people. TGI's first survey in Israel was conducted in 1998, and the latest statistics constitute the 27th survey since they began. Survey results are published twice a year.
The company uses the single source data method, which enables a deeper and more focused analysis of consumer habits and customer services in Israel. The method uses four different types of databases that include information gathered from the interviewed consumer.

Sept. 27, 2012
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Wisconsin women's soccer team has earned a reputation as one of the toughest road teams, not only in the Big Ten but in the country. That claim continued to hold water as the No. 18 Badgers battled the 13th-ranked Michigan Wolverines to a scoreless draw at U-M Soccer Stadium on Friday.
Not even 110 minutes of action could decide a winner in this Big Ten defensive battle. The Badgers (6-1-2, 1-0-1 Big Ten) attempted eight shots on goal and held Michigan to a season-low three.
"I always tell them that I don't want this ever be an excuse but I think they got a little older today and I think that's pretty exciting," UW head coach Paula Wilkins said. "I think they took another step in terms of mentality.
"Michigan is a very good team and this is always a tough environment to play in. I'm not satisfied with the shutout and I don't think they are either but I believe the overall growth they made today is important."
Winners of 16 of their last 18 matches at home, the Wolverines (7-1-1, 1-0-1 Big Ten) saw a lot of opportunities to strike gold early in the first half but a stout defensive stand from UW halted any chance of a score from the Michigan front line.
"We started off a little slow," Wilkins said. "They put us under pressure pretty quickly and we weren't able to adapt to that pressure and what they were throwing at us tactically.
"As the game wore on, we did much better and as we started gaining confidence we did well."
Wisconsin nearly ended the match eight minutes into the first overtime period, as junior Cara Walls sent a sniper from 20 yards out that was deflected by a Michigan defender and missed the post by inches. Walls was able to beat Michigan keeper Taylor Bucklin but the deflection misdirected the ball just enough to send it off of its path, resulting in a corner kick.
The Badgers earned five corner kicks on the night, allowing just four from the Wolverines.
Michigan saw its greatest opportunity at a score crumble to pieces midway through the first half as Genevieve Richard stone-walled a one-on-one chance by Michigan's Nkem Ezurike. The senior, who tallied two of the Wolverines' three shots on goal, had a wide open look from 25 yards out but Richard charged as Ezurike wound up for the shot and blocked the attempt, resulting in a clear for the Badgers.
The physical match had the characteristics of a traditional Big Ten battle from the start as both squads struggled to find good looks on goal and were also unable to muster enough momentum to spark any relevant scoring opportunities in the later stages of the match.
Wisconsin concludes its Big Ten road swing on Sunday when it visits Michigan State. Kickoff from the DeMartin Soccer Complex is slated for noon CT.
"The biggest thing for us is that we've been on the road for a bit and we know the routine so we know sleep and recovery are going to be important," Wilkins explained. "It's always a challenge to play two games in a weekend, especially coming off a long, grueling match like this one tonight but I think it's a good test for this group."

Andy Cohen: Crucial Time For Second-Year Players
Posted By Andy Cohen On July 25, 2013 @ 5:45 am In Football | No Comments
[1]Andy Cohen In The Morning appears every Monday through Friday until the end of the season, except for the bye week. The column is posted each day at 6 a.m. Be sure to follow Andy Cohen on Twitter at @ACohenFins [2].
They were rookies last year. Wide-eyed. Hungry. Fresh out of college. Thrown into a strange environment with all new teammates and the type of pressure they had probably never experienced before.
How much could we really expect?
But now that has all changed. They have grown up to second-year players. On the surface, it may seem like only one year. But in the world of the NFL, it is an eternity.
Check out the Dolphins' roster [3]. Focus on the years of experience. As of this exact moment, you will find 17 players with a "2" under the experience column. That represents more than 20 percent of the roster.
Every one of them is being counted upon to be significantly better than they were the first time around; obviously some more than others. As you look further at those players, you will also notice that many of them form the nucleus of this football team.
The starting quarterback. The left tackle. A running back with electric potential. A defensive end hoping to add juice to the pass rush. The top kick returner. A couple of young tight ends. And a whole lot of depth.
Yes, it's time for a second helping and these young players entering their second season [4] may just hold the key to the success of this football team.
Joe Philbin on his second-year players: "I think the play speed and decisiveness is much different. Each player varies, but having a full cycle as an NFL Player, having a full offseason program and a chance to watch cut-ups of the previous season, has to make a difference. I think (these players) have a much better understanding and comfort level which should allow them to compete faster and harder."
Translation: Philbin expects significant improvement in Year 2. And when you analyze this group of twentysomethings, it is clear that the Dolphins need for this to happen.
Here is who I see as the 10 most prominent second-year players:
• Ryan Tannehill: As has been written several times already and will be written many more times, Tannehill holds the key to this football team. We saw some good things as a rookie, but everyone is counting on a quantum leap in his second season.
• Tackle Jonathan Martin: Now starting on the left side, Martin must succeed for this offensive line to be solidified. Other than Tannehill, no second-year player needs to improve more. Martin has gained 15 pounds of muscle and appears primed for this significant challenge [5].
• Lamar Miller: He is running much more confidently [6] in his second season and seems to have grabbed the early edge for the starting job. If he can prove to be the explosive back this team needs, imagine the possibilities.
• Olivier Vernon: Based on what I've seen early in camp, Vernon could be one of the most improved players on this team [7]. He schooled Martin on a one-on-one drill a few days ago and that's not easy to do. Vernon has a first step in his pass rush that you just can't teach. "Last year was a learning year," Oliver said. "I had to soak everything in and play my role. This year I'm just trying to get a feel for everything that will be thrown at me. I'm trying to be an every down type of player."
• Michael Egnew: Lost in a fog a season ago, that fog has apparently lifted. But has it lifted in time? And to what degree? Egnew, a third-round pick, appears determined to make up for his shortcomings as a rookie. He is catching the ball much better in training camp and has a chance to contribute to this team. The next five weeks or so will tell plenty. "I expect to play this year," he said. "I've gotten stronger. I'm absolutely ready."
• Marcus Thigpen: Already established as a consistently good kick returner, Thigpen is now in the hunt for playing time at running back. He has many of the skills you are looking for; it's now a matter of getting enough repetitions to prove himself.
• Rishard Matthews: Opened eyes on the second day of camp with a nice 70-yard touchdown catch from Matt Moore. There are openings for the fourth and fifth receiver spots and Matthews is clearly in the mix. A seventh-round pick, Matthews will need to excel on special teams.
• Armon Binns: In a very similar situation as Matthews and could, in fact, be battling Matthews for a roster spot. Has excellent hands and some big-play ability. Will need a strong preseason to make this team.
• Josh Samuda: Could be a valuable piece in the offensive line puzzle because he can play both guard and center [8]. Will get plenty of opportunities to solidify his spot on the roster with five preseason games.
• Josh Kaddu: With a lot of depth already at linebacker, the odds will be difficult to overcome for last season's fifth-round pick. The fact that he was waived and brought back tells me the coaches see an apparent upside. Kaddu is one of the many players who need to make a significant impact in training camp.
Check back with A.C. In the A.M. tomorrow when the column takes a look at the Dolphins pass rush and the impact Dion Jordan and Olivier Vernon could have.

Hi there,
I have a Surface 2, I was just wondering if anyone knows of a way to use the tablet as a remote for foobar running on a seperate machine (over wifi home network). I currently have used android and iOS type remotes for foobar in such a manner but can't seem to find a solution for the Surface tablet.
I did come across this component, can that somehow be used with a stock (or other) Surface 2 music player but somehow being played via foobar on another machine?
Basically I like all my music on my main machine (to which it is wired to various speakers around the home), but when I'm i cooking or whatever I like to be able to see what songs are being played, rate them, skip them etc.
If I can find something that does this I will be able to flog my nexus 7 (as its currently performing this task) as the Surface 2 is pretty much doing everything else successfully better.

Bed Bugs and Disease – Do Bed Bugs Carry Disease?
Photo Credit: Piotr Naskrecki
A common question for bed bug bite victims and the medical community alike, is finding the answer to the relationship between Bed Bugs and Disease. Bed Bugs are a notable irritant and a great adversary in the world of biting insects. While a bed bug bite is annoying to many people in the sense of some physical discomfort, it has been reported that others have suffered from emotional distress. Certainly, they are worthy of their importance within the confines of the hotel and motel industries, respectively. However, introduce this parasitic insect into our home, apartment complex or school dormitory, and our immediate concerns will assuredly elevate.
Please enjoy the short video below by M&M Environmental for more on Bed Bug Bites and Bed Bugs and Disease.
You are absolutely encouraged to educate yourself with a basic foundation of the bed bug life cycle, its biology, a bed bugs feeding habits and their association with your home, apartment or vacation stay overs. Students, in their travels abroad, should also be inspired to learn the basics about this "hitchhikers" habits and how this parasite can affect your home.
Bed Bugs and Disease may be linked to how they feed
Bed Bugs require a warm-blooded host in order to survive and reproduce. The consequence of the bite itself varies among its human hosts. Usually some itching will occur at the bite area. And eventually, red welts will materialize near the affected area as well. It has been reported that most bite victims will usually notice these rash like symptoms within a day or two. And others may awaken with bite symptoms immediately following a night time encounter with this pest. Typically, the bed bug bite itself is not felt in the physical sense while the bed bug is feeding. However, the psychological discomfort that accompanies these bites can be overwhelming. Substantial loss of blood may occur where there are areas of large infestations incurring heavy feeding. Of special note would be to the young and malnourished.
Do Bed Bugs Transmit Disease?
Photo Credit: Piotr Naskrecki
There are numerous agents of human disease that have been found in bed bugs. At this time, bed bugs and disease would include an array of viruses, protozoa and other associated bacteria as well as parasitic worms. However, there is no evidence to suggest that bed bugs are transmitters of these agents through their bite. This would include HIV and the hepatitis B virus. While this parasite is indeed a carrier of at least 27 reported agents of human disease, none of these agents reproduce and multiply within the bed bug or survive for any significant length of time. For more on bed bugs and disease, bed bug bites and how bed bugs may be vectors for disease, take a peek at Bed Bugs and MRSA – Do Bed Bugs Transmit Disease.

Results of a recent Canadian study suggest that vitamin B3 may be an effective alternative treatment option for patients suffering from drug-resistant fungal infections.
Over the past decade fungal infections such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigates have become increasingly common in North America. These infections are extremely serious and can even be fatal for individuals with compromised immune systems, such as AIDS patients or organ transplant recipients.
Treating these conditions has become problematic for the medical community as many infections have mutated into drug-resistant strains.
Using an animal model, a research team from the Biotechnology Research Institute of the National Research Council Canada tested the effectiveness of alternative treatment options on Candida albicans.
They found that nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, reduced the severity of the infection and prevented its future growth. Principal investigator Martine Raymond and colleagues believe the findings suggest that the nutrient contains "broad antifungal properties" that can be used to treat many normal and drug-resistant infections.
"Although many issues remain to be investigated, the results of our study are very exciting and they constitute an important first step in the development of new therapeutic agents to treat fungal infections without major side effects for patients," said Raymond.

Custom Closets Manlius
All You Need Is Manlius Custom Closets and 3 Little Steps
Cleaning up a messy room is first and foremost a mental process. Once your thoughts are organized there is no reason to be indolent. Since we are the destination for Manlius custom closets we thought to offer you this three-step guide. Assess the mess and move on:
1. Dispose—Or donate items that take up space for no reason. Start by making a list because writing down will help you think about what things you really have a need for and what is laying around for no reason. Your children get bigger fast and the clothes they outgrow can go to a Manlius donation center tomorrow. Your future custom closets will not swell with old clothes.
2. Sort—A mess often looks like one because there is no method to the madness. Take the pile in the corner and arrange items based on their type and frequency of use. Toys, for example, have to business occupying the same space as books.
3. Prioritize—You Manlius custom closets will provide the easiest access to the stuff you need most. Instead of letting so many objects dwell in your living room tuck them into the harder-to-reach parts of your closet. As seasons change so can your closet.
Imagine a Clean Room with Manlius Custom Closets
California Closets is the nations destination for custom closets but Manlius residents have it good with a franchise in the neighborhood. A design consultant to help you tame the clutter is practically around the corner.

(and why is it important?)
So if you're a BHP senior, you've probably heard the phrase "Make-a-Mark" mentioned a few times and are wondering just what it is. Well, first and foremost, Make-a-Mark is a scholarship campaign.
And why are BHP seniors fundraising for scholarships? Because the single biggest issue that the BHP will confront in the future is whether or not it will be able to offer incoming students competitive scholarship packages.
East Coast schools have the luxury of large endowments that fund elaborate financial packages, and if we want to remain among the nation's elite business programs, we have to be able to do the same.
The Business Honors Program is the students it recruits. Help us keep the best and brightest here at Texas.

The Outbreak (part 7)
Amy tossed and turned. Water was all she could think about but she couldn't muster the strength to ask. She opened her bleary eyes and looked about the room. She found the cup; and noticed her parents asleep on chairs outside. She reached as far as she could to no avail. Defeated, she closed her eyes. In her mind, viewed the cup coming to her still outstretched arm and felt a splash. Her eyes bolted open; startled to be holding the cup she couldn't even reach a mere moment ago, warm water dripped down her hand and wrist. Shock and panic began to overwhelm her, she tried to fake calmness as she sipped her water and gently placed the cup down on the bed rail.
A nurse must have come in and given it to me while I had my eyes closed and is probably just around the corner Amy hoped as she peered over the edge to see around the room. No one was there, the door was still shut, there was no sound besides the constant beep of the monitors and her heart beating in ears.
Amy laid back and closed her eyes. She thought of her cold toes and imagined the blankets moving over her feet. When her eyes opened, nothing had changed. She sat up and frustratedly put the scratchy blanket back over her toes and pushed the service button.
"Thanks, Sasha" Agent Ryan said as the screen went back into place and the other feeds came back into view. He leaned back in his chair with his pad, spun once and moved towards his desk.
The Outbreak (part 6)
"Amy, honey" Her mom whispered softly lowering herself into a chair by the bed, her father put his hand on her mother's shoulder and looked down teary-eyed. "I'm so…sorry" Amy managed to murmur. Her parents cried and held her hand as the world faded into black again.
Black suit, soft steps, swipe of a card, whir of a door – the room is completely dark but responds to the touch of his finger. "Sasha" he says in a clear voice and a line of blue light makes its way around the circular room. "Agent Ryan Parker" she greeted as warmly as possible for an AI. Lights slowly came on, and images of hospital rooms appeared on a wall to the left. "Your patients are all stable, the doctors reports are on the console" he moved toward the center of the room as his work station lit up – the tablet on the desk awakened with the latest updates. He flipped through the reports scanning for anything abnormal.
An alert started going off – one of the screens to the left lit up. "Sasha, focus on that one" Ryan swiveled his chair to grab a notebook and watched intensely at the feed.
The Outbreak (part 5) 4 comments
Apologies for the length of time between this installation and the last one. Life and vacation happened and I ran out of words. I finally managed to put a few together this morning because I just needed to write. Hopefully I'll break down this block and write more frequently again, thanks for your patience.
"It seems," said the doctor quietly as he secured the door "that your daughter has become infected with a rare strain of smallpox". Silence and worried looks passed throughout the small quarantined room – it was then that Amy noticed her parents and the doctor were all wearing masks. "Smallpox was in the case" she realized, horrified.
As the doctor continued to explain the situation as best he could, dread filled the atmosphere. "Unfortunately, because of this weaponized strain, there is as of yet, no antidote. We're not sure what will happen, but we have the best people working on this. I suggest that this information stays within this room, and as far as friends and other family are concerned, we tell them it's just a very bad case of the chicken pox until we know more."
He hung his head apologetically and left the room, giving the family some space and time to process everything that they had just learned.

Social media for lead generation might be all the craze out there, but many businesses I know have little to show for their investment in it, or have yet to get started.
The trick is that social media in isolation of other lead generation techniques does not work too well. See, social media is not designed to generate leads: that's a by-product.

Interested in trying it out? RDF, The Semantic Web, and Linked Data. This essay is an attempt to tie together my articles and blog posts on semantic web related topics.
Bob DuCharme, last updated 24 September 2009 Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a W3C standard data structure for storing arbitrary data on the web and elsewhere.[1] Its key advantages include flexibility in describing different kinds of data, ease of aggregation, and the availability of standards supported by both commercial and open source software. What is the Semantic Web really all about? The Semantic Web is based on the relatively straightforward idea that to be able to integrate (link) data on the Web we must have some mechanism for knowing what relationships hold among the data, and how that relates to some "real world" context.
The following is a lot of detail that comes from this simple idea. To answer this question properly, let me start back in the early Web era. Interlinking Web 2.0 data silos with t.

My husband and I both did it and got the same code?? Is that normal? or do we have to login from different computers? Thanks in advance if anyone can assist.
I had the same issue with another promo. I think two computers have to be used for you guys to get two codes.
We tried unliking on his and redid on a second computer and he got the same code as me again. humm…has anyone used it yet to know how it works once you get to the outlet? It just says to take it to Shopper Services.
jo, what does your code end with? I printed two one for me one for hubby from separate computers and it does have the same code so I am just wondering :) and yeah last time I went to shopper services showed my ID and they just gave me a gift card :)
I went to the outlet today, gave the print out & got the gift card, it is good for a year. You have to show I'D. Also, everyone gets the same code. Hope that helps.
To far from me, if someone wants the code, post here I will email it to you.

My 4 Month old loves to watch TV... is this normal?
Ever since he was born (in the hospital room even) I have kept the TV on all night. Something like CNN, lots of talking. My theory was that if he got used to listening to noises and people when he was sleeping he'd be less likely to wake at night when my husband and I have company over. It worked. When he goes to bed he cannot see the TV so I don't know if this really has anything to do with it but whenever he's awake and near a TV he'll wrench his little head around to watch. I also have a 3 year old step-daughter and we couldn't get her to watch TV if we wanted to until she was about 2½. Is it weird that my little one likes it so much?

My two month old is drawn to the TV as well. When he does this I either turn it off or put it on the toddler music channel. He has always been drawn to anything bright since he was born. If he gets upset about the TV going off I just take him over to the fish tank and this seems to make him happy.posted 06/16/2010 by nickel222
My son loves to watch tv for a few minutes in the mornings. And every now and then something might catch his attention, but he'd much rather play in his jumper than watch tv for very long.posted 04/25/2010 by Tripsmommyntx
My 4 1/2 month old son does the same thing, he actually yells at me if I get in his way (HA,HA) so it seems to be a pretty normal thing. Although I agree that it may be short lived because he has now "found his feet" and they seem to be much more entertaining than the TV.posted 05/19/2008 by Leky315
my son is 1 year old now but has always loved the tv. one night when he was about 8 months he was so fussy. so we popped in the movie Avatar. he did not take his eyes off of it. we have litterally watched that movie over 70 times. by the 10th time we watched it, he had already memorized it. good or bad? idk but i know once he's walking his entire day will be spent outdoors.posted 09/17/2010 by molissa_2009
It's probably the light and the human noises that the baby is interested in. Four months is pretty young to be watching TV. Include your baby in YOUR life, carry him in a body sling (like an Over the Shoulder Baby Holder) so he can see the REAL world. Give him EVERY moment of your time. Talk to him, face to face. Give him lots of QUANTITY time, of yours. He won't need the TV, if he has human beings including him in their lives all the time. The best advice I can give a new mom is to leave the car seat IN the car and to hold thier babies most of the time. That way you can't not include him. Car seat overuse cases babies to be left on their own, with NO human contact much too much. For sleep, he really should be nursed and rocked to sleep at this age. You can't go wrong with LOVE, ATTENTION andf HUMAN CONTACT for a baby. Leave the electronics and the gadgets and the plastic for adults. Babies need MOM.posted 08/21/2007 by lactomama

I worry an awful lot about something happening to myself or my other half so Life Insurance for me is so important! I need to know that my family will be looked after if the worst should happen! With James being the breadwinner in our household if we didn't have Life Insurance me and the kids would be left without a great deal if something was to happen to him so I feel secure in the knowledge that we are protected. Endsleigh have some great tips over on their blog about buying Life Insurance… it is definitely worth checking out if you are considering it or haven't got it!
Life is precious; so VERY precious. I am always thinking of ways to create memories and keepsakes for my kids so I was very happy when Best British Bloggers contacted me on behalf of Endsleigh to ask me if I would like to receive a Time Capsule kit! I have never thought of making a time capsule before but thought it could be great fun for the kids to get involved with and also to preserve some of our memories.
Our time capsule is still very much in progress… I'm currently in the 'thinking about it' stage so I thought I'd show you all what we were given and tell you my plans and ask for your advice too!
The kits includes –
- a lovely shabby chic chest
- Vivatar video camera
- pretty photo frame
- one line a day diary
- forget me not seeds
- a pyrography set
- voucher to print photos
Firstly we are going to spend time designing our box with the awesome pyrography set; we'll probably paint it too to make it look pretty and we'll include our name and date we buried it on the lid of the box.
Then for the contents; these are my ideas so far – please let me know if you have any to add…
- a letter to the person who finds it
- a family photo
- a family video on a memory stick
- a copy of a newspaper from the day we bury it
- a selection of coins dated 2013
- a toy each chosen by the kids
- a cd with our favourite songs on
- pictures/letters drawn by the kids
You see I said this was in the thinking about it stage… I need your help with this I think! Have you ever created a Time Capsule?
If so what did you put in it? What do you think is a good addition to a Time Capsule? If you found one what would you hope it contained?

The Catz Pajamaz Consignment Shoppe debuts near Donegal
A local family recently opened a new, high-end consignment shop in Donegal Township.
Husband and wife Gary and Joy Monticue of Stahlstown, along with Joy's daughter, Julie Dolton of Ligonier, on Dec. 1 opened The Catz Pajamaz Consignment Shoppe located at 3782 state Route 31 in the Donegal Village Shoppes.
The business features high-end, gently used clothing for men, women and children, along with shoes, accessories and antiques.
They items range from T-shirts to fur coats.
"They have to be mall brand names or designer names," Joy Monticue said. "We are really picky about what we take in."
The store also features new clothing, including clothes and scarves from the Sacred Thread brand, which Monticue said is a fair trade company,
The business also carries new clothing and other items from American Eagle, Holister, Aeropostale and Abercrombie & Fitch.
"We are able to sell them at half off the mall prices and they are brand-new," Monticue said.
In addition to the apparel, the store also features new, antique reproduction furniture made by Gary Monticue and pewter picture frames and other pewter items made by T & K Casting of Stahlstown.
Monticue said customers can give her their name, phone number, sizes and she will call when new items arrive.
Regina Tinkey of Cook Township shopped at the new store recently.
"I think the shop is adorable. They have quite a variety of items and they even have Aeropostale and other brand names. Their prices aren't bad for what you're buying and everything was a real good quality," said Tinkey.
The store accepts checks, cash, credit and debit cards as payment.
Consigners must schedule an appointment to bring items in. They are permitted to bring in 15 to 20 items per appointment.
"We are still accepting winter and fall clothing and, at the beginning of March, we will begin accepting spring and summer clothing," Dolton said.
Consigners make 50 percent on their items when sold at the store. Monticue said consigners are paid by check or they may also opt to take a store credit.
Dolton said she and her mother set the price unless the customer has an expensive item they want to make a certain amount of money on.
After 90 days items can be picked up or marked down 50 percent.
The shop is open Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. and closed on Monday and Tuesday.
"Some days I'll stay open later, especially on weekends; it depends on the crowd," Monticue said.
The women are planning a special promotion that will begin in February.
Every Sunday, customers who show up in an actual pair of pajamas will get 10 percent off of their purchase.
"If the pajamas they are wearing actually have cats on them, they will get 15 percent off," Monticue said.
Those seeking more information are asked to email email@example.com or call the store at 724-593-CATZ, or "Like" them on Facebook at Catz Pajamaz Consignment Shoppe.

BETHANY — Let's get right to the point: Birrieria Diaz, 6700 NW 39 Expressway, is among my 10 favorite places to eat in the metro area.
Birrieria Diaz offers Mexican comfort food
Will it be yours? I can't say. But first some context about my palate: I grew up surrounded by Hispanic culture, from early years living minutes from the border in Chula Vista, Calif., to the bulk of my youth spent in Austin, Texas, supported by a family business heavily populated by Hispanic employees. Trips to Tijuana for my family then are no different from trips to Norman for my family now.
If comfort food is meat and potatoes with biscuits and gravy, I'll have the carne guisada con papas with tortillas and salsa fresca. I love food from every culture. I love seasonal food grown as close to me as possible. That's why I grow anywhere from six to 12 varieties of chiles in my backyard every year.
As for what the Diaz family brought to this market from Aguascalientes, Mexico, by way of Pomona, Calif., it hits me in my inner kindergartner. The restaurant opened in January 2011. I've been there, conservatively, 20 times. On my last trip, dining with my son, I ordered the Bistec en Chile Rojo. After one bite, I insisted my son stop eating his taqueria-style tacos and taste my dish.
Waiting until the beef slathered in a rich sauce containing tons of garlic, a little tomatillo and plenty of rehydrated red chile passed over his palate, I said to him, "The flavor in your mouth right now is the flavor that sparked my love of food."
When I was 5, we lived next door to a Puerto Rican family named Garcia. My mother was best friends with the lady of the house, whose name was Felicita — Feline for short. Feline routinely baby-sat me while my mother ran errands. One day, she made me lunch and the direction of my life changed forever.
She made a simple little thin-cut steak practically quaking from garlic influence. It had a thin orange sauce. I remember feeling flashes of guilt and woe over leaving that sauce on the plate to die alone awash in Palmolive suds. When I got home, I told my mother, "You need to make food like Feline makes."
Birrieria Diaz makes food like Feline made then, and I'm sure makes to this day.
And they do it not only with daily specials such as the Bistec en Chile Rojo, but with the dish for which the restaurant is named: birria.
Birria is traditionally made in Mexico of goat, pit-roasted until fork tender and then baptized in a sauce of onions, garlic, chile and a little tomato and/or tomatillo. Goat doesn't go over so big north of the border, so when Juan Diaz Sr. started making birria out of his garage in Pomona, he chose lamb.
His son Juan Carlos Diaz said the family cleared the garage out, installed a kitchen and sold four lambs worth of birria per day. They considered opening a restaurant but prices in California were prohibitive.
Socorro Diaz, wife to Juan Sr. and mother to Junior, had family living in Oklahoma City whom the family visited periodically. To our good fortune, the Diaz family moved here and Juan Sr. started out cooking at Abel's Mexican Restaurant, which happens to be the best Mexican Restaurant in the city in my opinion. Eventually, Juan and family set up shop on the corner of NW 39 Expressway and College Avenue to do his specialty dish.

Ever wonder where "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" came from? Or why it's considered bad luck to give knives as a wedding gift? From the bizarre to the spooky, learn more about popular big-day practices and their origins.
We've all heard this rhyme used when someone gets married, but what does it mean? Wearing "something old" represents the bride's past, while the "something new" symbolizes the couple's happy future. The bride is supposed to get her "something borrowed" from someone who is happily married in the hope that some of that person's good fortune rubs off on her. "Something blue" denotes fidelity and love.
This custom traces its roots back to Rome. Fearing evil spirits were jealous of her happiness, the bride would wear a veil down the aisle to disguise herself from them and avoid any ill will they would bring upon her.Get Expert Tips for Buying a Wedding Veil You'll Love
In some cultures, rain on your wedding day symbolizes fertility and cleansing. This couple's wedding was interrupted by a torrential downpour, and nine months to the day of the wedding, their daughter was born.See More of this Real Wedding in Positano, Italy
According to folklore, a knife signifies a broken relationship and is bad luck to give as a wedding present. If knives are on your registry, just give the gift giver a penny. That way, it's considered a purchase.Register Online Without Leaving Home
This superstition began in medieval Europe, when many believed that a bride was extra vulnerable to evil spirits through the soles of her feet. To avoid bringing in any evil spirits, the groom carried the bride into their new home.
Finding an eight-legged creature on your gorgeous gown might seem like a big-day nightmare, but English lore claims that it's a good omen.
Some think it is tempting fate for the bride to write out her married name or monogram before she's actually married, and that the wedding will not take place if she does so. If you're superstitious, save the monogramming for your reception décor and registry items.
According to Greek culture, placing a sugar cube on the bride will sweeten the marriage. For her wedding merging Greek and Canadian traditions, Trish had her florist, Coriander Girl, add them to the stems of her bouquet.See More From This Greek-Canadian Wedding
A bride who sees a nun or a monk on the way to her wedding is said to be cursed with a barren life dependent on charity.
Bells are traditionally chimed at Irish weddings to keep evil spirits away and to ensure a harmonious family life. Some Irish brides even carry small bells in their bouquets as a reminder of their sacred wedding vows, and they are a common gift for newlyweds.
In Italy, many newlyweds smash a vase or glass at their wedding, and they put a lot of muscle into it, too! Why? According to tradition, however many pieces the glassware breaks into will symbolize how many years the couple will be happily married.
It is supposed to be good luck for the bride to cry on her wedding day because it symbolizes that she has shed all her tears and will not have any to shed during her marriage. So go ahead and get teary-eyed. Just be sure to wear some waterproof mascara!
Southern folklore says that to prevent rain on your big day, you should bury a bottle of bourbon upside down at the wedding site one month before and dig it up after the ceremony to enjoy.
This superstition dates back to the time of arranged marriages, when people believed that if the couple saw each other before the ceremony, it would give them a chance to change their minds about the wedding. Today, however, many couples choose to meet up and even have portrait sessions before saying their I do's.
Back in the Dark Ages, the garter was considered a hot item. It's said that family and friends would wait outside the nuptial bedchamber until they were shown evidence—sheets, stockings, a garter—that the marriage had been consummated (seriously!). In time, the garter came to symbolize good luck, and rowdy guests began making a game of trying to strip the bride of that little fabric band. To distract the mob, brides began tossing it into the crowd. Today, the practice usually involves the groom throwing the garter to a group of single men; whoever catches it is believed to be the next to marry.

•Cicadas emerge after the soil temperature exceeds 64º F, which is usually in late May.
• Only the male cicadas sing. They have sound-producing structures called tymbals on either side of the abdomen.
• It is easy to tell male cicadas from female cicadas. To do so turn the cicada over: the female will have a groove in which is found the ovipositor; the male's abdomen will terminate with a square shaped flap.
• There are three species of 17-year cicadas, which will emerge in 2013. They are named Magicicada septendecim, Magicicada cassini and Magicicada septendecula.
•There are four species of 13-year cicadas, which will not emerge in 2013. They are named Magicicada tredecim, Magicicada neotredecim, Magicicada tredecassini, and Magicicada tredecula.
• Groups of cicadas that share the same emergence years are called broods. The brood number is usually given in Roman numerals. Charles Marlatt, an entomologist working for the Department of Agriculture, designated that all the cicadas that emerged in 1893 and at 17-year intervals thereafter as Brood I [one]. The cicadas that emerged in 1894 were called Brood II [two] and so on. The 13-year cicadas that emerged in 1894 were called Brood XVIII [eighteen] and so on. The cicadas that will this year belong to Brood II [two].
• Not all cicadas count the years correctly. In 2000, based on collections of larger-than-normal nymphs, Dr. Gene Kritsky predicted that thousands of cicadas would emerge four years early. On May 12, 2000, hundreds of cicadas emerged early on the College of Mount St. Joseph campus and thousands more emerged over Greater Cincinnati. This happened again in 1999, when some Brood II [two] cicadas emerged four years ahead of their next scheduled emergence.
• Adult cicadas do not eat solid food, but do drink fluids to avoid dehydration.
• Adult cicadas do not sting or bite humans, and they do not carry diseases. But they can harm young trees when female cicadas lay their eggs in the tree's new growth. It is not recommended that you spray to kill the cicadas, because they fly into a tree to lay their eggs and spraying will not kill these incoming cicadas. If you have a young tree, you can loosely wrap the branches with cheesecloth to keep the female from laying her eggs.
• Pesticides are not effective at controlling periodical cicadas.
• Periodical cicada years are quite beneficial to the ecology of the region. Their egg-laying in trees is a natural pruning that results in increased numbers of fruits in the succeeding years. Their emergence from the ground turns over large amounts of soil, and after they die their decaying bodies contribute a massive amount of nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil.
•Periodical cicadas are best eaten when they are still white, and they taste like cold canned asparagus. Like all insects, cicadas have a good balance of vitamins, are low in fat, and, especially the females, are high in protein.
• Periodical cicadas are often incorrectly called locusts. Locusts are grasshoppers and cicadas are more closely related to aphids than grasshoppers. The term locust started to be used around 1715 in the English colonies, when citizens tried to make sense of the cicada emergences by equating them with the biblical plagues and the fact the John-the-Baptist ate locusts. The Native Americans also ate cicadas.

Thanks for the info Keith; I'll look for it and let you know.
EH Taylor is made by Buffalo Trace. I was able to find a bottle of it on Ebay when I could not find it locally.
EH Taylor is supposed to be a great quality Bourbon but I've never tried it. In fact I don't recall seeing it in stores...guess I better find some to try out.
Any E H Taylor fans around here?
601 Blue Box Press by Don Pepin Garcia has dropped in price, and while that's good for us buyers I still question why. Sure it has a somewhat irregular burn, but that happens with a lot of cigars of lessor quality and taste. My advice is find some, put them to rest, pour a quality glass, and enjoy.
I was MIA for a while but I'm back in sync. Oh and I like 1792 with a medium bodied cigar.
