Or wait until it goes on sale on Gilt.com -- as it ALWAYS does at the end of each season -- and get it 2/3rds off. Btw I don't think Steven Alan should be singled out here. There are *dozens* of men's brands with similar price ranges, many of which are of inferior quality; try Marc by Marc Jacobs, for instance, or even Band of Outsiders.

R20 The on Will Not Be Televised You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out. You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and Skip out for beer during commercials, Because the revolution will not be televised.

There will be no pictures of you and Willie May pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run, or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance. NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 or report from 29 districts. The revolution will not be televised.

Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and women will not care if Dick finally gets down with Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people will be in the street looking for a brighter day. The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news and no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose. The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb, Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth. The revolution will not be televised.
The revolution will not be right back after a message bbout a white tornado, white lightning, or white people. You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl. The revolution will not go better with Coke. The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath. The revolution will put you in the driver's seat.
The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised, will not be televised. The revolution will be no re-run brothers.
The revolution will be live.

Settlers created lasting ties at Hardwicke Island
By Thelma Silkens
Museum at Campbell River
Hardwicke Island lies in Johnstone Strait, 80 kilometres north of Campbell River.
The island's homes and a cluster of logging camp buildings are spread along its western shoreline, facing Kelsey Bay and the village of Sayward on Vancouver Island.
Settlement at Hardwicke began in the early 1900s. Several bachelors occupied Crown Grants, and the Kelsey family were homesteading there when a steam-powered tug pulled five large floats into the bay in 1918. Aboard the floats were buildings, logging equipment, crew members and Hans and Gertrude Bendickson with their young family, six sons and one daughter, aged from one and a half to eleven years old.
Originally from Norway, the Bendicksons and their mainly Norwegian crew had already lived at other coastal locations while logging timber licences. At Hardwicke they set down roots; clearing land and raising livestock while continuing to log.
Soon after the Bendickson camp moved ashore, Hans Bendickson and William Kelsey built a small schoolhouse on a rise of land between their two homes. During the 1920s and 30s a succession of young woman teachers presided over a handful of pupils.
The Kelseys moved across the water to what became Kelsey Bay, but among the families that came to the island in these early years, the Eriksons and Edwards also established long-lasting ties. The Edwards and their neighbours the Thompsons lived several miles from the bay, but the children walked in every kind of weather to attend school.
As the Bendickson children grew up, they took an active part in homesteading and logging, and helped build a large family home. The eldest son, Arthur, married Enda Cuthbert, who had come to Hardwicke on her first teaching job. Later, one of her pupils, Hazel Anderson, became the wife of the youngest son Jim. The first wedding, however, was that of the Bendicksons' only daughter Lilly, to Olaf Hansen, the eldest son of the Hansen family at nearby Port Neville. The long friendship between the two Norwegian families was further strengthened when Lilly's brother Harold married Olaf's sister Edith.
George (who never married), Arthur, Harold and Jim continued the logging business begun by their father. During the 1940s they, their wives and children and other young families lived on a float camp which they moved to various logging sites. The other two Bendickson brothers Barney and Fred, who served during World War II in the Air Force and Army respectively, lived in Vancouver. Barney owned Bendickson Towing with a fleet of tugboats and Fred was a shipwright.
In 1949 Bendickson Logging moved back to Hardwicke Island. The houses were pulled ashore and a land based camp was established. Across from the northern tip of Hardwicke, tiny, rocky Yorke Island had been a strategic military fortification during World War II. Now the fort was being dismantled and the company purchased a number of its former buildings. Several became bunkhouses; one became a new, larger schoolhouse, and a small building was converted into the 'Teacherage', a little house for the teacher
At the one-room school, many of the pupils were the children of those who had attended the first school. Others, more used to town life, came to join their fathers who were working at the camp. Crew members were encouraged to bring their families to Hardwicke, in order to create a stable workforce, increase school enrolment and build up a community.
The community thrived. As another generation grew up, there were sports days, Christmas concerts, dances, a Friday night movie, baseball games, picnics, fishing trips. A breakwater was created to protect the boat harbour, and as was the case for other coastal settlements, a freight boat stopped regularly with groceries ordered from Woodwards of Vancouver.
Vegetable and flower gardens flourished. Kids played and swam in the frigid salt water while their mothers sat and visited on the beach. A party-line telephone connected the houses, each place identified by the hand-cranked number of long and short rings.
The passing years brought inevitable changes, but the ties that were forged by Hardwicke's early residents have remained strong through succeeding generations of their families.
Nearly a century later, descendants of the Bendicksons, Eriksons and Edwards have homes at Hardwicke today.

Mother's Day as a celebration of the unique power mothers have to be peacemakers.
By V.K. Harber
As Mother's Day approaches in the US and retailers ready their supply of flowers, candy, jewelry, and
spa packages, I find myself torn, as I always am, between supporting the spoiling of mothers and highlighting the fact that, like so many holidays, Mother's Day has drifted pretty far form it's original intent.
Undoubtedly, mothers everywhere deserve some pampering. A little extra sleep, some alone time, a special meal, and some adorable kid crafts are the things that fuel mothers for another day back in the saddle of child-rearing. This is likely not what Julia Ward Howe had in mind, though, when she issued her Mother's Day Proclamation of 1870:
Arise all women who have hearts,
Whether your baptism be that of water or of tears
Say firmly:
"We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands shall not come to us reeking of carnage,
For caresses and applause.
Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of
charity, mercy and patience.
"We women of one country
Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with
Our own. It says, "Disarm, Disarm!"
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice!
Blood does not wipe out dishonor
Nor violence indicate possession.
As men have of ten forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war.
Let women now leave all that may be left of home
For a great and earnest day of counsel.
Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
Whereby the great human family can live in peace,
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
But of God.
In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
That a general congress of women without limit of nationality
May be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient
And at the earliest period consistent with its objects
To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
The amicable settlement of international questions.
The great and general interests of peace.
I cannot help but be moved by her words and the urgency of her pleading, nor by how relevant her words remain.
Peace begins in the home. As mothers we have the ability to not only provide a peaceful environment for our children to grow, but to model peaceful behaviors and thoughts and to impart lessons about what it means to be truly peaceful and not just conflict-avoidant.
Beyond that, if all mothers everywhere could join together to stand up to the "irrelevant agencies" who can so easily take our children to "unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience" just think of how the world could change.
Being peaceful doesn't mean being passive. As mothers who invest so much into our children and their happiness, we are completely justified in passionately and unapologetically pursuing peace to protect our precious sons and daughters and the precious sons and daughters of our fellow mothers.
Can powerful peaceful mamas change the world? I think we can. Especially after that delicious breakfast in bed and a little pampering.

After months of uncertainty, Keighley Festival organisers confirmed the 2014 event will go ahead.
Despite initial problems with funding, a lack of full-time committee members and the possibility of being "swamped" by the Tour de France, festival chairman Malcolm Hanson announced the extravaganza is up and running.
"We realised that annual events such as the festival would likely be swallowed up in the hysteria surrounding the Tour de France, so we decided to begin the festival on July 7, the day after the cyclists pass through," he said.
"But when we began approaching schools for our key events we found many had already been approached by local Grand Depart organisers for theirs, and we suffered because of that.
"Due to the juggernaut that the Tour de France is, we were forced to wait much longer than normal to find out what funding we might receive from Bradford Council.
"This meant we couldn't confirm the festival would actually be on, but we finally got the go-ahead to organise."
The festival will run from Monday, July 7, to Saturday, July 12.
East Riddlesden Hall, Central Hall, Victoria Hall and the Sangat Centre have been signed up for the main events, including the One Amazing Night children's concert at Victoria Hall on Thursday, July 10.
Mr Hanson said: "We hope to get strong support for the art exhibitions, but where we really want to attract new blood is live music. We want Keighley bands to get together and organise their own gigs.
"We also want individuals to organise one-off events in the town centre. Where are all those people with wacky and wonderful ideas? All they have to do is to approach us with those ideas and we can look at funding and offering general help."
The festival's annual general meeting is on Thursday, April 3, at 7.30pm in Central Hall, Alice Street. Prospective event organisers and people wanting to participate are invited.
Mr Hanson said: "If we are to survive, it's vital we have new blood to continue the legacy."

MARINA — In the Central California coastal town of Marina, a $7 million desalination plant that can turn salty ocean waves into fresh drinking water sits idle behind rusty, locked doors, shuttered by water officials because rising energy costs made the plant too expensive.
Far to the north, in well-heeled Marin County, plans were scrapped for a desalination facility despite two decades of planning and millions of dollars spent on a pilot plant.
Squeezing salt from the ocean to make clean drinking water is a worldwide phenomenon that has been embraced in thirsty California, with its cycles of drought and growing population. There are 17 desalination proposals in the state, concentrated along the Pacific, where people are plentiful and fresh water is not.
But many projects have been stymied by skyrocketing construction costs, huge energy requirements for running plants, regulatory delays and legal challenges over environmental impacts on marine life. Only one small plant along Monterey Bay is pumping out any drinking water.
From Marin County to San Diego, some water districts are asking themselves: How much are we willing to pay for this new water?
"We found that our demand for water had dropped so much since the time we started exploring desalination, we didn't need the water," said Libby Pischel, a spokeswoman for the Marin Municipal Water District. "Right now, conservation costs less than desalination."
Desalination plants can take water from the ocean or drill down and grab the less salty, brackish water from seaside aquifers. Because of the plants' potential impacts to marine life, the California Coastal Commission reviews each project on a case-by-case basis.
There was great fanfare in 2009 when the last regulatory hurdle was cleared to build the Western Hemisphere's largest desalination plant in Carlsbad, north of San Diego.
At the time, it was proposed that the $320 million project would suck in 100 million gallons of seawater and be capable of producing 50 million gallons of drinking water a day. It was expected to come online by this year.
Since then, the plant owner, Poseidon Resources LLC, has been negotiating a water purchase agreement and is close to clinching a 30-year deal with the San Diego County Water Authority, a wholesaler to cities and agencies that provide water to 3.1 million people.
The compact is essential for Poseidon to obtain financing to build what has become a $900 million project, which includes the seaside plant and a 10-mile pipeline. The San Diego agency hopes the plant opens in 2016 and anticipates desalination will account for 7 percent of the region's supply in 2020. It estimates the cost is comparable to other new, local sources of drinking water, such as treated toilet water or briny groundwater.
Interest is still high, but "people are realizing that desalination isn't a magic fix to the state's water issues," said coastal commission water expert Tom Luster.
Water can be de-salted in different ways. Poseidon's project will use reverse osmosis. Other plants shoot ocean or brackish water at high pressure through salt-removing membrane filters. Because pumps must be used constantly to move massive amounts of water through filters, these facilities are extremely energy-intensive.

Financial aid plays an important role in making college accessible to students. A lack of financial resources alone should not be a barrier in achieving this goal. It costs money to be a student. Aside from the tuition and fees that a student must pay to the College, a student must buy books and supplies, pay for transportation to and from school, and cover personal expenses such as meals and housing. Many students and their families are unable to come up with the money needed to cover all of these expenses. For this reason, CPCC accepts a variety of payment methods and is an eligible institution participating in both federal and state financial aid programs.
In general, financial aid may be available in the form of grants, loans, or scholarships. A grant is a type of financial aid based on financial need (or other eligibility requirements) that the student may not have to repay. Use the links at the left or below for more details about the different grant programs available at CPCC and their respective requirements.
Grants Available
- America Reads / America Counts
- Federal Pell Grants
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
- Federal Work-Study
- North Carolina Community College Grant

My friend's father recently gave me some boneless skinless goose breasts (unfortunately not bb-less) and I'm a little stumped how to cook them.
I'm thinking ginger soy marinade and grilling them to medium-medium well (rare poultry kinda bugs me).
What do you think? I'd prefer to grill them as it is getting warmer here and my condo doesn't have AC.
Thanks in advance!

i've read many reviews where women post the measurement and the measurements fluctuate around the 2-5 week. Why is that? some loose volume and gain it back a week or two later
Is It Possible to Loose Volume and then Gain It Back?
Doctor Answers 1
Liposuction and volume loss
This is an excellent and common question in our practice. Basically, liposuction patients are very happy and the volume loss is permanent unless if they fail to maintain a healthy lifestyle and gain weight.
Many studies now show that fat loss is permanent with liposuction. Immediately after liposuction, there is swelling which will go away with time. We inform our patients about the swelling and provide postop garment to help with swelling. Additionally, we offer our patients Smoothshapes to help increase lymphatic drainage. The results are amazing.

Smith Creek Fly Fishing Gear
I will be carrying the following Smith Creek products:
Net Holster: I bought one of these and I was duly impressed, in particular it is great for those fly fisherman that use a small pack and don't have a D ring to hang a net on.
Rod Clip: The Rod Clip was voted best accessory for IFTD 2012. This a great tool for "hanging" your rod while tying on a fly or even while taking a picture of the fish you just caught.
I hope to have these available by early November, these are great Xmas gifts.

Catch a country music sweetheart
Georgette Jones, daughter of Country Music Hall of Famers George Jones and Tammy Wynette, takes the stage for a one-of-kind matinee performance Wednesday June 4 at the Cannon Falls High School Auditorium.
The show, presented by Cannon Falls Area Community Education and DayTrippers Dinner Theatre, kicks off with a Texas barbecue lunch followed by the 1 p.m. concert.
"The fact that she has those parents gives people immediate interest," DayTrippers producer Bill Kenzie said. "They are true Country Music Hall of Famers."
Kenzie went on to say this show would be the largest his Twin Cities-based company has taken on for an adult-targeted concert in a high school auditorium.
"We have done many plays for children in many different auditoriums, so this is nothing new for me," he said. "I'm really excited about it. We've done nothing quite on this scale for adults."
The DayTrippers theatre in Bloomington, Minnesota, holds a capacity of 160.
The fully handicap-accessible Cannon Falls High School Auditorium was built in 2009. The facility has been host to numerous band and choir concerts, lyceums, performing arts productions and national acts including Lorie Line, Haley Bonar, Ricky Skaggs and the Cactus Blossoms.
"It's very acoustically sound," he said. There are 600 seats, and the thinks there is not a bad seat in the house – including the balcony.
During the show, Jones will perform songs made famous by her mother.
She also performs duets she originally recorded with her father. The bass player in her band will take the George Jones parts. She also ill perform songs from her new CD, "A Slightly Used Woman."
Jones has been singing with one or both parents since the age of 3. She recorded her first single with her dad, "Daddy Come Home," when she was 10 years old and performed it on an HBO special.
"People coming will be very well satisfied, because of nostalgic material," Kenzie said. "And people coming to hear her own material will be satisfied. It's a win-win concert."
Georgette also worked as a backup singer for her mom. She recorded a duet with Mark McGuinn that was included on his "One Man's Crazy" CD, has appeared on TV shows including "Crook and Chase" and performed at The Grand Ole Opry.
A duet titled "You and me and Time," which she co-wrote for her dad, was released as the first single on his latest CD, "Burn Your Playhouse Down."
She also has filmed the TV series "Sordid Lives" starring alongside Emmy award winner Leslie Jordan ("Will and Grace"), Olivia Newton-John, Margaret Cho and others.
"I'm excited to see Georgette. One of my concerns was providing a good audience for her – it looks like we will do that for her," Kenzie said. "That makes me really happy."

Senior transportation design students were challenged to design the next generation Class 8 truck that addressed fuel efficiency, sustainability/recycling, aerodynamics, weight and the life expectancy of the vehicle. Students worked with a strict, realistic package and looked at specifics including hybrid power, integrated solar panels, highway safety, driver comfort and safety, and serviceability. The multiphase design program included extensive research and onâ€site visits with suppliers. Students also developed digital models and physical scale exterior models of their concepts with valuable input from Meritor, along with engineering designers at Navistar International Corporation. The student models were displayed at the Midâ€America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky.

- How to Read a Study Record
The proposed study is a randomized controlled trial to test the effectiveness of a primary care, family-centered child obesity prevention program beginning in pregnancy and continuing throughout the first three years of life compared to routine standard of care. The study aims to reduce the prevalence of obesity at age three, improve child diet composition and healthy lifestyle behaviors. Pregnant women will be enrolled from a large urban medical center serving primarily low-income immigrant Latino families. The intervention "Starting Early" will consist of three components. 1) Family Groups: interactive groups coordinated with the child's primary care visits and led by a Nutritionist/ Child Developmental Specialist. 2) Nutritional Video: a culturally-specific bilingual early nutrition video will be incorporated into family group discussions. 3) Plain Language Handouts: given to reinforce the curriculum from the family groups.
Hypothesis: Compared to controls, the intervention group will show reduced obesity and improved parent feeding knowledge and increased healthy feeding attitudes, styles and practices

By DAN KARELL
Barcelona has made it clear. Cesc Fabregas is in their plans for the coming season.
After Manchester United earlier this week made a bid thought to be around €30 million ($39.3 million) for the Spanish National Team member Barcelona have pushed right back, rejecting it and inferring that Fabregas is someone they won't be transferring away from the Camp Nou.
Fabregas has struggled to be in the first XI for most of his two seasons, making plenty of appearances but clearly being looked as the first guy off the bench in big matches. With Barca's sale of Thiago, Fabregas should have even more first team chances this coming season.
To their credit, David Moyes and Man United remain committed to trying to bring Fabregas and/or other targets into the club ahead of the start of the Premier League season on August 17.
Here are some more stories to get your Friday kicked off:
Though it seemed a mere formality that Gonzalo Higuain would be an Arsenal player just a week or two ago, Real Madrid has made signing the Argentine increasingly more difficult.
Higuain, who last season announced his intention to leave the Spanish club, has reportedly agreed to a contract with Arsenal, and is just waiting for Arsenal to pay the transfer fee. Madrid have raised the fee to upwards of €40 million, while Arsenal have made one final offer for Higuain of €26 million ($34 million).
If Arsenal doesn't sign Higuain, they'll look towards targets in the English Premier League, namely Luis Suarez and Wayne Rooney.
AS Roma defender Marquinhos has arrived in Paris on Friday morning ahead of a big money transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
The 19-year-old Brazilian said his goodbyes at Roma's training facility in Trigoria on Thursday, and sent out a tweet on Twitter saying his goodbyes to his fans in Italy, though he didn't confirm his potential destination.
However, it's all but certain that the youngster will be a PSG player as of the end of Friday, with the French club finalizing a deal for a total of €35 million ($45.9 million). PSG have already spent €79 million ($103.6 million) this week on new signings Edinson Cavani and Lucas Digne.
Just when it seemed like maybe he wouldn't be leaving after all, Manchester City have come to terms with Fiorentina over the transfer of Stevan Jovetic.
The versatile 23-year-old forward is in Manchester for a medical after Fiorentina confirmed his departure from the club, agreeing a transfer fee of €30 million in total (€26+4 in bonuses). Jovetic's arrival at the Etihad makes him the second forward signed this week, with the English club confirming the Alvaro Negredo transfer on Friday.
Last season, Jovetic scored 13 goals in 31 Serie A appearances as Fiorentina finished fourth in the league.
Liverpool have signed a two-year contract extension with Standard Chartered to keep the bank as the club's shirt sponsor. (REPORT)
Napoli are nearing a €25 million transfer deal to sign Leandro Damiao from Internacional, while the Italian side are also close to signing his national team teammate Julio Cesar. (REPORT)
After all the noise about potential moves back to Brazil within the last seven months, 29-year-old Robinho has decided to sign a new contract at AC Milan through 2016. (REPORT)
Stoke City are offering free travel to all Premier League road games for fans wanting to make the trip, in a move that's believed to be a first in all professional leagues in England. (REPORT)
Just 18 days after starting their own TV station, Benfica TV already has 80,000 subscribers. The club decided to keep their broadcasting rights in-house for a fee this season. (REPORT)
What do you think of these reports? Do you see Fabregas receiving more playing time this season? Do you see Arsenal signing Higuain after all? Amazed at PSG's spending?

bigbuttsowut's review published on Letterboxd :
As many have noticed, this movie suffers from some of the similar problems of Spiderman 3. Those problems being entirely based around the amount of content and subplots stuffed into it. The culmination is a dull hybrid that doesn't engage you at all. This is where the movie falls short. The only problem is that this means the entire movie falls short. Plot element after plot element is introduced, yet none is fully developed. After a thing is introduced, you wait expecting the scene to fully flesh out and for it to start to formulate the meat of the movie. But it never does. After the movie ends, you wonder how that is even possible considering that the movie never really started. More embarrassing still, one of the staples of the Nolan Batman saga, the music, disappoints just like the of the movie. Now, it's not the music itself, but the arrangement. The music is supposed to set the mood and match the visuals, yet it never does. Never. Not once in the movie will you be swept up in the theme or atmosphere. It's all emotionless and uninviting. Every aspect that made the The Dark Knight good is not found here. It's not engaging, it's not challenging, it's not well written and it's not edited properly. I would say that this movie leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but it doesn't even leave a taste at all. It's nothing. It's a movie without a movie.

Embraer left no doubt about its lack of interest in challenging Boeing any time soon in the hotly contested narrowbody market segment, when the two companies announced last week they had entered a loosely defined "cooperation agreement" calling for a joint effort to "enhance operational efficiency, safety and productivity, improve customer satisfaction and create value for both companies and their customers." Specific areas of cooperation include research and technology efforts and the development of sustainable aviation biofuels.
Embraer CEO Frederico Curado and Boeing Commercial Airplanes boss Jim Albaugh signed the agreement during a visit by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to the U.S. and following the annual meeting of the U.S.-Brazil CEO Forum, a public-private partnership between the two governments that "brings together" chief executive officers from both countries. Curado and Albaugh serve as co-chairmen of the CEO forum's aviation subcommittee.
This latest agreement expands on a July 2011 announcement by the two companies of plans to jointly fund an analysis of opportunities to produce sustainable aviation jet fuel from sugarcane. In March 2012, Boeing, Embraer and Airbus announced a memorandum of understanding to work together on the development of so-called drop-in, affordable aviation biofuels.
Speaking at an April 10 press briefing in Washington, D.C., Curado expressed satisfaction with the reciprocal nature of the latest agreement. "It really honors us that this is not an agreement [per se]; it's a give and take," said Curado. "Again, this flatters us, in the sense that we have some interesting coincidences like, for example, the conceptual designs of our cockpits are similar to theirs…the designs of Boeing and Embraer have interesting similarities. We see today that with the advance of avionics, [in] safety, of course, the awareness of the pilots, the man-machine interface…that's a lot of things going on. We are spending a lot of resources in studying those things and Boeing is obviously [doing] the same. So, yeah, there are possibilities."
Curado would not venture comment on any specific areas of cooperation, however, emphasizing the broad nature and early stage of the agreement. "We are just establishing a path forward," he said. "So as we advance and come up with something which can be a breakthrough or a new feature or something, of course we'll bring it all to the public. But it is an issue just to recognize that both players are investing in resources in the same areas and there could be some cross-benefit for sharing, work-sharing, learning and so forth."
