The upcoming basketball season at Tompkins Cortland Community College will have some familiar faces in unfamiliar places. Director of Athletics Mick McDaniel has announced that David Stevenson has been appointed the head women's basketball coach and Rich Echevarria has been appointed the head men's basketball coach. Stevenson has been the head men's basketball coach for the past nine seasons; Echevarria has been one of his assistant coaches for the past three years.
Stevenson takes over the women's program for Jaclyn Sutton, who stepped down after four years. Assistant coach Jeff Riker will remain on the women's coaching staff; assistant coach Brian Carroll will remain with the men's team.
"Coach Stevenson has proven to be one of the top coaches in our region, and I have every confidence that he will enjoy the same success with the women's program that he had with the men's," said McDaniel. "Coach Echevarria is a fantastic recruiter and is dedicated to continuing the winning and sportsmanlike ways that are now synonymous with TC3 athletics. I fully expect great things for both programs."
Stevenson is the most successful basketball coach in TC3 history. He took over a men's program that had one winning season in its first 29 seasons and turned it into a consistent regional contender. His teams made the postseason five times, including the last three seasons. TC3 won three Mid-State Athletic Conference championships, including the last two, and Stevenson was named the MSAC Coach of the Year three times. He won more games (123) than all the other men's basketball coaches in TC3 history combined, and is the only men's basketball coach in College history with a winning percentage (.519).
"I'm very excited to take on the challenge of moving the women's program forward," said Stevenson. "I'm equally excited to leave the men's program to a former player and coach."
Echevarria is a former player at TC3 and a graduate of the College's sport management program. He has coached on the AAU level and a various college camps, and has been an assistant on Stevenson's bench during the best three-year run in program history. During his time with the Panthers, TC3 has a .675 winning percentage (54-26) and captured two straight conference titles. Those three years also saw the Panthers produce an all-American, four all-region selections, a two-time conference player of the year, and six all-conference selections.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to continue the tradition that has been started with Coach Stevenson," said Echevarria. "I will work to build our student-athletes up to the best they can be, and prepare them to move to a four-year school, both on the court and academically."

Panther Hall of Famers Ivan Lewis, Brent Doane, Clint Chaffee
Three standouts were inducted into the Tompkins Cortland Community College Panther Hall of Fame Sunday. Former student-athletes Clint Chaffee ('06) and Ivan Lewis ('02) and former coach Brent Doane comprise the Class of 2014, the largest since the inaugural Class of 1999. With a two-time All American, a national scoring champion, and a national champion coach, the Panther Hall of Fame Class of 2014 is distinguished in terms of both quantity and quality.
Chaffee was a member of the TC3 golf team in 2005 and 2006. He was an NJCAA All American both years, finishing sixth at nationals both years. The Candor High School graduate was TC3's first regional golf champion and still holds the College record for best single round score and best season scoring average. He was a SUNY Chancellor's Scholar-Athlete Award winner in 2006 and went on to earn a degree in golf course management from SUNY Delhi. Chaffee is currently an assistant golf professional at Congressional Country Club outside of Washington, D.C., one of the top private clubs in the country.
Lewis played basketball for TC3 in 2000-01 and 2001-02. He led the nation in scoring his freshman year, averaging 30.5 points per game, and was third in the nation his sophomore year, averaging 27.8 points per game. He holds nearly all the TC3 scoring records, and has the distinction of being the only player in program history to score more than 50 points in a single game and more than 700 points in a single season. Lewis was the first TC3 player to top 1,000 points in a career and still holds the school record for career scoring. He was a two-time all-region and all-conference selection, and was a preseason NJCAA All American. After graduating from TC3, Lewis went on to star at Felician College (NCAA Division II) in New Jersey, helping the Golden Falcons to a conference title and ECAC Division II championship. He graduated cum laude from Felician and began a coaching career that has advanced to his current post of associate head coach at Felician.
Doane coached the TC3 women's basketball team from 1999-2005 and the softball team from 2002-2012. He directed the basketball teams, the first varsity women's basketball teams in the College's history, to three straight NJCAA playoff appearances. On the softball diamond, he restarted a program that hadn't been active in six years, leading the Panthers to a NJCAA playoff appearance his first season. During his 11 years coaching softball, he led the Panthers to nine NJCAA playoff appearances, four regional championships, and the 2009 NJCAA national championship. His teams placed third in the nation twice and fourth once, and Doane was named the national coach of the year once and the regional coach of the year twice. During his time at TC3, he coached 10 All Americans, 31 all-region players, and 39 all-conference selections. Doane, who still works in the TC3 admissions office, is also currently an assistant softball coach at Cornell University.
Chaffee and Lewis are the first golfer and men's basketball player, respectively, inducted into the Panther Hall of Fame. Doane is the third coach elected to hall, and the first to have coached a women's sport.
Formed in 1999, the Panther Hall of Fame is designed to honor former athletes, coaches, and contributors for their outstanding performance and support of TC3 athletics. New members are elected by a selection committee that includes the director of athletics, the TC3 Athletic Advisory Board members, and current Panther Hall of Fame members. Inductions are possible bi-annually, with a maximum of three new members in each class. A plaque with the inductee's picture and description of his or her achievement is displayed at the College.
With the induction of the Class of 2014, there are now 12 members of the Panther Hall of Fame.

Tompkins Cortland Community College men's basketball players Tyseem Lyles (Health Professions H.S./Brooklyn) and Devin Redden (St. Mary's H.S./Buffalo) have been named to the NJCAA Region III All-Region team. Lyles was named to the first team while Redden was placed on the third team. It's the third time TC3 has placed two players on the all-region team, and the first time since the 2009-10 season.
Lyles, a sophomore sport management major, is the first TC3 player ever named to the first team two years in a row. He played in 26 games this year, leading the team with an 18.5-points-per-game average. He averaged 6.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 4.0 steals per game, setting new TC3 records for assists in a season and career and steals in a season. He was first in the region in steals, second in assists, and second in three-point shooting percentage (51.9%).
Redden, a sophomore criminal justice major, was second on the team in scoring with an average of 14.1 points per game. He averaged 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists steals per game for the season, and stepped it up to 16.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game in conference play. He scored in double figures in 20 of his 25 games and topped 20 points six times. He had a double-double in TC3's win at SUNY Broome and led TC3 in scoring six times, all wins.
Both players were also named to All-Mid-State Athletic Conference, with Lyles earning the MSAC Player of the Year award. The duo led the Panthers to a two-year record of 41-12, two MSAC championships, and two appearances in the NJCAA Region III quarterfinals. The two-year win total represents the most in TC3 history.

After three seasons as an assistant to two-time MSAC Coach of the Year David Stevenson, Coach Echevarria takes over as head coach for the 2014-15 campaign. He brings great experience both as a player, having played for the Panthers while earning his TC3 degree in sport management, and as a coach, having coached on the AAU level and at several camps. He is also an IAABO official, working basketball games on the high school and college level.
As the head coach, Coach Echevarria plans to continue the high-tempo aggressive style that has proven successful in recent years at TC3. He will oversee all aspects of the program, while continuing to show his strength in recruiting, strength and fitness training, and defense.

The 2014-15 season will mark Coach Carroll's sixth on the bench for the Panthers. He joined the staff after completing his own two-sport college career, playing basketball at SUNY Brockport before transferring to TC3 to play baseball. During his time with TC3, he has used his own experience as a standout backcourt player to help coach some of the strongest guards in the region. He brings an understanding of the game from a recent player's perspective and is extremely valuable in his ability to assist with in-game adjustments.

The Tompkins Cortland Community College men's basketball season came to a close Friday as the Panthers lost in the quarterfinal round of the NJCAA Region III tournament, 90-75, to Clinton Community College. TC3's ends the season with a record of 20-7.
The Panthers entered the tournament as the #5 seed while Clinton was the #4 seed. The game opened with a basket by TC3's Laszlo Hajnoczi (Hunter-Tannersville H.S./Tannersville) for a quick lead. After a Clinton three-pointer, Tyseem Lyles (Health Professions H.S./Brooklyn) drained a three-pointer of his own to make it 5-3. Over the next four minutes, Clinton scored ten straight points to lead 13-5. The lead grew over the next ten minutes, capping at 35-15 before TC3 ended the half with a 14-5 run to make the score 40-29 at the break.
The TC3 run continued in the second half, with the Panthers scoring the first six points to close within five at 40-35 with 16:35 left. Clinton responded with five straight to push the lead back to ten. The margin hovered around ten over the next five minutes before TC3 went on a 13-4 run that included three-pointers by Lyles, Devin Redden (St. Mary's H.S./Buffalo), and Joel Costello (Middleburgh H.S./Middleburgh) and was capped by a steal and basket by Costello to make the score 64-61 with 8:35 left on the clock. After the teams traded baskets, Clinton scored seven straight to make the lead ten at 73-63 with 6:56 left. The Panthers couldn't cut the lead below eight the rest of the way as Clinton sealed the win and advanced to the regional semifinal.
In the end, TC3 was on the wrong end of several key statistics. Clinton held a 64-36 advantage in rebounding and shot 45.6% from the floor, compared to 34.9% for TC3. From three-point range, Clinton made 50% (10-of-20) while the Panthers connected on just 32.3% (10-of-31). Clinton also went 18-of-24 from the foul line, compared to just 5-for-8 for TC3. Combined, it adds up to a disappointing result for the Panthers.
Not all the numbers were bad. Lyles cemented his place among the elite in the history of TC3 basketball, setting two TC3 season records in the loss. He handed out three assists to give him 156 for the season, breaking the old record of 155 set by Chris Cartwright in 2009-10, and he had seven steals, giving him 105 for the season, breaking the old record of 103 set by Randall Thomas in 2003-04. Lyles also scored 16 points, giving him 902 points for his career to become the fifth TC3 player to top 900 in his career. He also pulled down a team-best seven rebounds.
Costello also had a big game scoring 20 points, a new career high. He added a team-best four assists while also recording four steals. Redden scored 14 points and had five rebounds, and Hajnoczi had nine points, six rebounds, and four steals.

Don, I just now read your lovely thoughts about Carol. It came from your heart and it's what we would have expected you to say because you were faithful, caring and loving til the Lord Jesus led her Home. I'm wondering if you are alone now or if someone is with you. I pray that you sense the warm presence of Jesus as you pick up and sort through Carol's things. I'm sure it will be hard but God will give you strength and grace to do it. Everywhere you look in your house, you'll see memories of your beloved wife.
This is the first I've been able to get on the Porch for days! For two weeks, except for one day, my computer has been in the shop.

This week the serviceman just let it sit in his work room and didn't even look at it, so Friday afternoon John went to the serviceman's place of business and said, "Let's see if we can figure out what the problems are together. My wife badly needs this computer!" So step by step, John showed him the problems and slowly the repairs were made so John could bring it home. We are at such an advantage here with only one serviceman in such a tiny town. I used my grandson's computer in the interim but it's in terrible shape and wore me out just trying to use it. I could get into Facebook on his computer but FaithWriters would not accept my password, even after many inquiries and Emails. So now my computer is back and I pray it works for awhile. I couldn't even get into several of my other favorite places either so I'll enjoy catching up there, too.
I read back and caught up with the latest postings and am praying that God will meet every need represented here. God bless.

I am of German and Irish descent, so I like to bake,
probably as much as I like to cook. Brownies are one of my favorite treats.
However, I like to mix it up and include mint to my brownie treats. I found
this recipe for Luck o' the Irish Brownies online @ Allrecipes.com. One of the
reasons I like mint so much is because it tastes so refreshing, similar to
eating a York Peppermint Patty.
This recipe for Luck o' the Irish Brownies has been a tremendous success for me personally during the holiday season. Of course, it works well on St. Patrick's Day, too.
Try it! Your family and friends will like it a lot.
Please note, it is very important that you use a 9x13-inch pan.
Add the following ingredients to your shopping list:
4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cup margarine, softened
2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
6 drops green food coloring
1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
I have included this video for Luck o' the Irish Brownies to help in your preparation of this delicious treat ...
Luck o' the Irish Brownies have always been lucky for me. Enjoy!

The couple, which married June 14, 1942, received gifts commemorating the 70-year milestone, as well as letters of congratulations from President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama and from Gov. Jerry Brown. The Sharps shared old photos and good memories with those in attendance.
The couple both came to California with their parents in 1935 during the Great Depression — Duane from Missouri and Betty from Oklahoma. The families lived in various towns before settling in Grayson, where the pair met. They began dating, which usually meant attending the local weekend dances.
The Sharps began their married life together June 14, 1942. They have three children, Richard, Frank and Carol, and 13 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
They made their first home in Richmond, where Duane Sharp found work in the shipyards. World War II began soon after, and he joined the Army. During that time, Betty Sharp stayed with her in-laws, Emmett and Bessie Sharp, in Grayson.
After Duane Sharp was discharged from the Army, the couple settled first in San Francisco and then San Jose. Duane Sharp worked in the moving industry with such companies as Beacons and Neville Bros. and retired in 1981 after 42 years with those companies. Betty Sharp also worked during her married life for McCall Pattern Co., J.C. Penney Co. and the Paul Masson Mountain Winery. Her last years of employment were in production quality control in the electronics industry, from which she retired in 1980.
The Sharps enjoy socializing, camping, fishing and traveling. For many years, they spent time each summer at Clark Forks in the Stanislaus National Forest, a favorite campground. Family is a priority for the couple, who often traveled to their native states to visit relatives.
The Sharps moved to Modesto when they retired, but following the death of Duane Sharp's mother, they returned to the family home in Grayson.

Hypnotic in color and lit with an inner glow, this enhancer is captivating. A Peruvian amazonite oval cabochon is surrounded by a sterling silver polished swirling scroll design with a decorative swirling snap hinge bail. A sleek and modern yet fluid and feminine design makes this a jewelry wardrobe must for day or evening. The enhancer measures 2-1/8" long x 1-1/8" wide. Designed and crafted in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Q. I've looked at the timetable to use the gym at my local leisure centre. Why is it no longer available at the time I used to visit?

It's often said government should treat citizens the way businesses treat customers. But when it comes to customers, businesses have it relatively easy. They get to pick and choose which customers to serve, lavishing attention on those that are profitable and using a one-size-fits-all approach for the rest.
Governments don't have that luxury. They must serve every citizen, providing essential services that in many cases would never survive in the private sector. Helping those who need it most. Protecting privacy and rights. Providing security and defense. All while balancing a complex mix of conflicting demands from a diverse constituency and in the face of unmatched public scrutiny.
In the private sector, the bottom line is shareholder value. In government, the objectives can be harder to pinpoint — clouded by political agendas, turf battles, special interests and economics. But in the end, the basic goals are the same. Making efficient use of taxpayers' money. Striving for continuous improvement. And delivering maximum value for citizens and communities.

Welcome to OUTLETCITY METZINGEN
International fashion labels. Famous designers. Lifestyle accessories. Attractive prices. TAX FREE Shopping. Architectural highlights. Excellent cuisine. Loving childcare.
Metzingen, 30 km south of Stuttgart, with its world famous OUTLETCITY is like no other. Here shopping is not simulated on green fields outside town, but a real urban shopping and lifestyle experience.
OUTLETCITY METZINGEN offers a unique aggregation of factory outlets of over 60 international top brands, mostly in spacious flagship stores, with year-round price reductions of 30 – 70% (compared to the manufacturer's RRP).
Its reputation as one of Europe's leading factory outlet locations has already spread around the world. Every year over 3.5 million visitors from all over the world make the town one of the most important international shopping destinations. Tradition of the town as a centre for textiles and the home of the Hugo Boss brand meet contemporary issues: architecture, fashion, design, lifestyle,culture and cuisine.
The historical town of Metzingen, surrounded by a picturesque landscape of vineyards, forests and orchards, is as original and traditional as the OUTLETCITY is futureoriented. The town's attractions are short transport routes and ongoing changes to its perspectives. Visitors constantly move in an exciting contrast between small country town idyll and the cosmopolitan shopping flair. Here, winemaking traditions and protected buildings that have been carefully restored. There, spacious architecture, fashionable restaurants and visitors from afar with high demands when it comes to consumption and lifestyle.
Metzingen is located in the heart of Europe in the Southern German Neckar-Alb growth region. The pulsing state capital Stuttgart with such global companies as Bosch, Daimler, IBM and Porsche is just about 30 km away. The Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre and the international airport are only a stone's throw away. From there the luxurious OUTLETCITY METZINGEN Shopping Shuttle or a rental car from Sixt will take tourists straight to Metzingen at a reasonable price. The town is also connected to the German railway network and has an excellent location close to main roads and the A 8 and A 81 motorways. Famous German destinations such as Munich, Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Baden-Baden, Black Forrest or Lake Constance can fast and easily be reached.
The flagship stores of OUTLETCITY METZINGEN offer international top brands with year-round price reductions from guaranteed 30 % up to 70 %*.
Adidas, Armani, Bally, Bogner, Burberry, Calvin Klein, Coach, Crocs, Diesel, Escada, Esprit, Falke, Fossil, Golfino, Hackett, Hugo Boss, Jimmy Choo**, Joop!, Lacoste, Levi's/Dockers, Marc O'Polo, Max Mara, Michael Kors, Milka, Möve, Moncler, Nike, Oakley, O'Neill, Peak Performance, Pepe Jeans, Petit Bateau, Polo Ralph Lauren, Prada, Puma, Quiksilver/Roxy, Reebok, s.Oliver, Samsonite, Schiesser, Seidensticker, Sigikid, Strellson, Strenesse, Swarovski, Swatch, Timberland, Tom Tailor, Tommy Hilfiger, Windsor, WMF, Wolford ... and many more.
* Compared to the former recommended retail prices.
** as of end of September 2013.
Our shopping guide with a detailed list of all brands and a map can be downloaded online on our website www.outletcity.com/en.
Cultural Highlights and City Breaks
Even after a successful shopping trip there is a lot to discover in and around Metzingen.
The historical town is as original and traditional as the OUTLETCITY is future-oriented. Its welcoming atmosphere is probably largely down to its long history of winemaking. Appropriately, the town's seven wine presses are its most famous landmark.
Other highlights in Metzingen that are well worth a visit include the late Gothic St. Martin's Church and the Old Town Hall. Visitors constantly move in an exciting contrast between small country town idyll and cosmopolitan shopping flair.
The region around Metzingen is dominated by viticulture and agriculture. At the Viticulture Museum and the Fruit-growing Museum, visitors can find out more about both subjects. Both museums offer an interesting and informative insight into the history of wine and fruit-growing as well as the traditional crafts associated with them.
But Metzingen is not only surrounded by charming countryside – there are also a number of interesting towns and cities that are ideal for days out.
MICE, Business Travel, Incentives
Time is money. Therefore, the location of OUTLETCITY METZINGEN is so practical particularly for businesspeople: in the middle of Europe and directly in the growth region of Neckar-Alb. It can be reached quickly using all means of transport, and is close by top class business contacts. Global corporations such as Bosch, Daimler, IBM and Porsche have their location in the large extended region around the state capital of Stuttgart. The international airport Stuttgart and the New Trade Fair Centre Stuttgart with the International Congress Centre are also only a stone's throw away from Metzingen. Before or after the business appointment: Shopping date. Suits, suits, suits – you will probably not find such a high suit density per square metre anywhere as in OUTLETCITY METZINGEN.
Guided tours through OUTLETCITY METZINGEN and individual specials as part of a supporting programme for MICE guests possible upon request.
Active Lifestyle and Nature
Enjoy the picture book countryside of the Swabian Alb and at the same time do something good for your body – there are wonderful possibilities waiting all around Metzingen. The Swabian Alb Biosphere offers various activities for those enthusiastic about nature and sports.

You might not be familiar with the term 'Z-Movie,' but if you grew up in the 90's, chances are you've seen one. They're the beyond-low-budget monstrosities that teased you from the walls of the mom-and-pop video store. Usually, the films themselves could never live up to the pictures on the videotape boxes (because this was way before your fancy 'Digital Video Discs' and 'Blu-Rays') but occasionally you'd find something truly unique. 'WEIRDO FLICKS' will clue you into some movies which 'unique' doesn't even begin to describe...
'The Hitcher' - 1986, Directed by Robert Harmon
This is another film with a higher budget than my usual selections, and it might even be the best-known thing I've reviewed. That, however, does NOT mean it's any less strange or twisted than the other 'weirdo flicks' posted here.
'The Hitcher' literally feels like a nightmare that won't stop. It has what I could only describe as 'dream logic,' and most of the main characters make several decisions that seem inhuman. It's a film that can't really be called 'horror,' but you may very well be unable to sleep after seeing it.
We begin with Jim Halsey, a young man who is travelling to California for reasons never discussed. He picks up a hitch hiker in the middle of the night, which is the first of his seemingly non-reality-based decisions. The hitch hiker soon turns out to be insane, and Halsey boots him out of the car.
For the remainder of the film, the mysterious hitcher terrorizes Halsey by following him everywhere (even places he couldn't have had any idea Halsey would show up at), killing people, and creating a string of havoc that eventually begins to look like Halsey's fault. Halsey counters by doing several out-of-character things, like pulling guns on cops and stealing cars.
Yes, this is a VERY 80's thriller, and is very stylized, but there seems to be a lot more going on beneath the surface. For one thing, several people seem to think that the hitcher's character doesn't actually exist in reality, but is instead a product of Halsey's mind. Whatever the case, it's an interesting watch, and will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat.
They definitely don't make movies like this anymore.

Mass Effect 2 Trailer: 'If This Is About Sex Maybe You Should Just [Censored] Say So'By Chris Faylor, Sep 29, 2009 2:40pm PDT Mostly topless former gangbanger Subject Zero is introduced in our latest peek into the futuristic mythos of Mass Effect 2. She's not one for subtlety, if you couldn't tell.
BioWare's anticipated action-RPG sequel is due on PC and Xbox 360 in early 2010.

By: Chase999 x Show Full PostSubject Zero has provoked some really intense love/hate reactions. And you know what? That's awesome. A video game character has actually gotten people riled up before the game has come out. Hats off to BioWare!
Personally, I love Subject Zero already. Yeah, the hardass chica thing has been done. But not this far, and not that often. It's definitely fresher than the "stoic pretty boy hero," or the "grizzled mercenary," and I don't recall any complaints there. I suspect some gamer guys just can't handle the notion of a female character that isn't sporting gigantic knockers and the personality of a blow-up doll.
Subject Zero is definitely going to be in my away team.Oct 05, 2009 2:37pm PDT

Do video game developers have ANY IDEA what people consider hot? A bald girl covered in tattoos is FUCKING GROSS. My favorite character in Mass Effect was Ashley because she was cute and innocent and just a normal run of the mill girl next door.
I hope there is an option to NEVER have her join my party and I hope she fucking dies. This character sucks.

Advertising will very rarely reflect the final product.
With the right people and enough backing, you can make shit look like gold. Conversely, with the wrong people, you can make gold look like shit. Perhaps this might be just a simple a case of shit looking like shit, but while subject zero currently appears to be a walking cliché, odds are when she steps into the lime light you'll have a mildly psychotic charter driven insane by experiments on here who has a handful of silly lines, all of which unfortunately are featured in this trailer.Sep 29, 2009 4:32pm PDTJust to clarify for all the kids here: Advertising will very rarely reflect the final product.

People say stamp collecting is actually a form of art. And it is referred to as philately. It is also said collection of several different types of coins is certainly an art as well. And it is referred to as numismatics. For the reason that men and women continue to feel that comic books are only meant for young children and that comics collecting is merely suited to for the younger age-group. These people are in fact drastically wrong - almost everyone will be happy to download comics and read them on ebook reader. If collecting nearly anything is regarded as a form of art, then so is comics collecting and it truly is high time people today acknowledge it and even extend Comic series Collecting the proper value that this art is worthy of. Art cannot be categorized. There isn't a superior form of art and similarly not worse form of art.
Merely because several men and women focus on a certain art form and are usually boisterous enough to boast about it in a loud manner, that specific art form doesn't happen to become bigger than all the other not to mention for no reason can it earn a place on a higher pedestal. There exists only true art and whenever an artist is true to an art he would have opted for, whether it be collecting stamps or perhaps Comics Collection, he's going to do full justice to it. Comics Collection is not a 'child's' play. It will take the very same degree of proficiency, interest, effort along with creativity for being proficient at Comics Collection like it needs for being great at just about any hobby, or perhaps form of art and also collection of stuff.
Comic books aren't only for little kids just what many a comic series have proved again and again. They can indeed be on a simialr level as Booker Prize winning novels nevertheless as you have unfavorable sides of almost everything in this world, so there are excellent comic books together with less than ideal comic series. Like, Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson's masterwork was published in countless papers across the globe for several years. Numerous comic book lovers couldn't help but feel that it was actually one of the most impressive comic strips to have come out in newspapers in a number of years and therefore the majority of them got on to Calvin and Hobbes Comics Collecting.

It's official: With President Barack Obama's acceptance speech in Charlotte Thursday night, both the Republicans and Democrats have formally chosen their nominees for the 2012 presidential election. Let the real race begin.
A lot can change between now and Nov. 6: gaffes, scandals or even major international news events could shift the dynamics of the campaign.
The latest Gallup Polls show registered voters preferring Obama to Mitt Romney by just one percentage point, 47 percent to 46 percent. A USA Today/Gallup poll taken just before the party conventions found American voters think Obama is more likeable, but trust Romney more to handle the economy.
Pundits have been busy for months handicapping the major-party candidates on various factors: incumbent advantage, fundraising clout, even religion.
Patch wants to know: Regardless of who you support for President, who do you think will actually claim victory in November?

The truly strange and wonderful tale of Monki's birth. It all began on a very ordinary day. Three friends got together to do some Dreaming. And Thinking. And Doing. But what they dreamed up... was a different world.
A world of eclectic fashion, made for you with a store and a story like no other: a place that would be all about expressing yourself. Living life your way. A place where fashion would be fun and there'd be music and parties and laughter.
A place that was all about people like you.
A place that wasn't ordinary, no way, uhu, not at all.
And somewhere inside that dream, something was born. Suddenly, in that place west of nowhere special and beyond the horizon tiny monkis appeared, floating like bubbles into a clear sky. A new kind of creatures, made up, not of atoms, but of imagination. And from one second to the next, each of the three friends had a little monki on their shoulder. Whispering. Encouraging. Nagging them! Saying:
"Yes you can! Sure you should! Go ahead!" and "You created this dream. Now make it come true!" (Because that's what monkis do).
So the friends did something special. They began opening magical concept stores in their ordinary old world, one after another… stores that were portals into the Monki World.
Together, they became the founders of a wild and crazy international retail concept that believes that it needs to fight ordinary and boost imagination with an experience out of the ordinary.
And no days were ordinary anymore, at all.
Monki lore says we all have a monki sitting on our shoulder, whispering in our ear to boost us to dream and think and do the things we really want to do... glowing and growing every time we do.
Because sometimes, if we dare, dreams are just reality waiting to come true.

Yum(09/11/2010)If you are hesitating to get this dont. It was so incredibly flavorful!!
Can always rely on Mrs Fields!(07/18/2009)Sent deluxe crate as a birthday gift. Received rave reviews! Delivered on scheduled date. Wonderful goodies coupled with great service. Thank you!
mrs fields is for cookies.(02/07/2011)I bought this for my family for Christmas. It arrived on time. Cookies and brownie bites were fresh. The cookies we're delicious and the brownie bites were pretty good. They are truly bite sized like it says. The brownies espespecially bite sized. The muffins were not good at all. They were dry and honestly the hostess mini muffins are a million times better. I think the muffins should be left out and instead more cookies in its place. The popcorn was alright not anything over the top. Overall it was an alright crate and we got to sample everything now we will know what to order next time... the cookies. Afterall Mrs. Fields is famous for cookies.
Crate?(03/10/2010)A dear freind sent 2 crates (use the term loosely) to work to thank fellow co-workers (about 200) When the 2 crates arrived it turned out to be small and the cookies were bite sized. Very disappointing.
Disappointed(12/11/2009)The product was never delivered on the specific date. Very disappointing especially when you pay for shipping for a certain date. Thanks Mrs. Fields for not making the date special.

Subtlety is a Cooke & Lewis favourite. A gentle, white, open grain finish adds that contemporary edge to the new Carisbrooke kitchen. Quality stems from the solid framed doors with veneered centre panels - mastered in a way that only we know how.

It's tax season and that means many of us are getting our paperwork together. Before you file, make sure you are not committing any tax blunders that can cost you money. Here's a look at some costly mistakes and some things you may be overlooking. First, don't forget to sign your name. Tax preparers always mention this as a big "oops!" Sign your name the same way on each piece of paper.
Second, the IRS says that 67,000 Americans in 2010 got their own filing status wrong. If you got married or divorced in the middle of the year, check what your filing status should be. Now, let's get into some tax credits or deductions you might be overlooking. The accounting firm CB Smith and Associates in Cumming says dependent child care is often overlooked as a credit available to you. This applies to you if your child is in pre-school, in a day care, or even has a nanny. Have you purchased a new air conditioning unit or water heater, or perhaps replaced your windows? There is an energy credit available if the purchase or repair has the Energy Star seal. CB Smith and Associates says be aware of these deductions:1. The points paid when buying a house. 2. Deduct mileage in a numbers of cases - if you're job hunting, if you're moving for that job. 3. If you take someone to regular medical treatments, that's a deduction. 4. Deduct if your travel is for charity reasons. You must be able to back up your deductions with paperwork or receipts. If you're reading all of this, and think it's time to get a tax preparer on the job, take your returns from the last three years in for a review. You might be able to get additional deductions from previous years. It certainly won't hurt to check.
