Carrabassett Valley Academy is a private middle/high school at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine, offering a unique balance of college preparatory academics and competitive ski and snowboard training.
Accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), CVA's college preparatory curriculum is designed to provide students in 7th grade through a post-graduate year with the comprehensive academic and critical thinking skills that will enable them to move confidently into a post secondary education.
Small class sizes enable us to address individual learning needs and technological developments allow us to provide a rigorous curriculum while students pursue their athletic passions. Many of our courses offer an "honors option" where students receive enrichment and alternative assessment and "honors" is designated on their transcript.
We welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your son or daughter.
CVA's highly skilled coaches have trained 11 Olympians, 10 X-Games competitors, 6 world champions, 83 national champions, 21 NCAA and USCSA All-Americans, and 34 National Team Members. Sugarloaf is our home mountain offering varied/challenging terrain and an unparalleled support of competitions and training. The combination of the mountain, our coaches, and our Anti-gravity Complex provides CVA athletes with world class training in competitive alpine racing, moguls, park and pipe, and snowboarding, Skier X and non-competitive ALPS program that will push their fullest potential. Students are prepared to compete on the mountain and they carry those competition skills forward to face the challenges of their lives and our world.
When students join CVA, they join a community; a community where they are known, needed, cared for, and are listened to. It's a community where civility is taught and reinforced. Caring and education are first in our minds and we graduate students with aspirations, academic and athletic skills, confidence, and character.
CVA is defined by the collective spirit of its founders, teachers, coaches, parents and students. And…it is also defined by our location. The isolated ruggedness of the terrain and environment here clearly shapes us, our program and our students. This place creates an experience not found elsewhere. A place where students carry the skills they learn on the mountain forward to face the challenges of their lives and of our world with strength and grace.
They learn how to win, how to lose, how carry on in unforgiving weather, and how to pick themselves up and keep going. While teaching students how to deal with those life lessons this mountain environment is also creating growth, opportunity, and choice. It's a full-on academic, athletic, and community experience that is life changing. It's the "real deal" approach to a disciplined training program that pushes students to higher levels of competence.
When students join CVA they join a community that is nestled securely in the woods of Carrabasset Valley. A community where they are known, needed, cared for, and are listened to. A community that radiates sincere warmth and a very familial feel within the school and the Valley as a whole. Students choose CVA because they love the outdoors, have a passion for their sport and are willing to work hard. They leave with an appreciation for the unique personality of the wilderness and with a life-long love of the outdoors.

Katherine Heigl has reportedly submitted herself for an Emmy this year for her role in "Grey's Anatomy," according to reports.
Despite her departure from the ABC series, the actress' rep told Entertainment Weekly that she put herself in the Emmy race for supporting actress. The move comes two years after Katherine made headlines for publicly withdrawing her name, telling the Los Angeles Times' Gold Derby in 2008, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention."

U.S. & World
Katherine's 2010 Emmy move also comes on the heels of a new interview with USA Today, where she admitted she fell out of love with her "Grey's" character, a role she left earlier this season.
"I felt very protective of Izzie. I really loved her," Katherine told the paper. "I felt she was an admirable woman who certainly made mistakes. But I was starting to not like her, and that bothered me."

During her "Grey's" tenure, Katherine made a host of headlines for speaking her mind and she also told the publication that she actually once tried to mute herself.
"I've tried to keep my mouth closed for a minute," she smiled. "And I can't. At one point I got so paranoid and afraid, and I was qualifying everything I said and apologizing for everything. I realized it was ridiculous."

Point taken…
Thanks for continuing to point out the issues we're having with posting. I know patience is a lot to ask, but MLB.com is working on getting this fixed and I'm hopeful that will happen soon. I do realize that it makes it harder to interact with your fellow fans when there is a delay in posting comments.
Today's day game in Colorado is a big one…the difference between leaving town four games up and two games up is certainly important.
Here's the lineup:
Furcal, SS
Kemp, CF
Ethier, RF
Manny, LF
Blake, 3B
Loney, 1B
Hudson, 2B
Ausmus, C
Padilla, P (first-ever Nicaraguan to play for the Dodgers)
No Comments
Thanks Josh!!
Come on, Andre – you're our MVP.
Thanks Josh! First Nicaraguan! That is the closest to my native Honduras! Al Ataque Vicente! Let's Go Dodgers! I wonder if I could manage my radio with headphones and my Pilates class at the same time at noon.
Two run shot by Matt Kemp (#19) !!!!!!!!!
I'm liking this start. Let's abuse De La Rosa for lots of runs before they try to pull him!
Hard to believe after all the international players that we have played that this is the first Nicaraguan players to played for us.
Look like Helton made a boo boo.
Wonder if Atlanta stills wants Furcal…
Just got home, missed Kemp's HR. Good to see we jumped out on top. Let's go Dodgers! This would be a very big game to win.
1st and 2nd with no out and no score
Thanks Josh! I hope I wasn't to harsh. I don't think I was (I did say please!). I just wanted to make sure that it was known that this still isn't working.
So onto the game.
Brad K's w/0 out and runners on 1st & 2nd. Padilla bunts them over and then Ferk gets retired.
Brad needs to move those runners over some how.
They really need to get some productive ab's in these situations.
Since they will score more if they take advantage of these opportunities it will help all the pitchers.
They HAVE to stop wasting these opportunities!
As I type Loney doubles to lead off the inning. Let's see what happens…
Go Blue!!!
Bring the Ring to LA in 2009!!!
Leadoff double by Loney…
Hudson POPS to 2nd… NOT PRODUCTIVE!!! If He got the runner over then the fly ball by Brad would of given them the lead.
Brad pops out as well but not deep enough to move the runner to 3rd… NOT PRODUCTIVE!!!
That brings up the pitcher…
Wasted opportunities… Is that on Torre??? No – the players need to stop wasting opportunities.
Plain & simple.
Also many were all over Torre for not using The Brim Reaper in the loss Monday.
Well he wasn't available due to a tight ab muscle. He had an MRI and told Torre he wasn't able to take the ball.
Sometimes the Manager/Coaches have information we don't have.
Not much of a debut for Padilla in a Dodger uniform……..
If he keeps this up, he may wind up on a slow boat back to Nicaragua.
Hi everybody
Got in a little late and missed Kemp's HR but I did witness the Rox tie the game up last inning.
Well here's hoping we can win this rubber game.
One thing, we can't lose 1st place today.
Gonna need a lot more runs from our offense today. WTG Loney for getting us started again.
Bully better be ready today – they're going to get a work out.
One good note is it's good to see Kemp hit the 80 RBI level to join Ethier.
Make 'em pay, Beard!
Time warp is acting up. Sometimes I'm posting in the present, other times I'm posting 12 minutes into the future.
oldbrooklynfan ~ I'm hoping soon they'll hit the 100 RBI level.
Top of the lineup now, let's get something going.
I agree Collie – shouldn't have to teach them fundamental baseball at the major league level.
I don't play favorites…
1 out double by Matt & then Dre K's.
I'm just sayin!!!
Ethier need to have batting practice against a lhp this is killing him.
I think we should get weaver warmed up, unless padilla can gain control. De la rosa is getting in the groove, we need to get to there "tired" BP
Let's go Big Game James!!!!!
Loretta………….OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well that explain everything about Torre not bring in Sherrill.
Ouch wonder what Loney was looking for.
Ethier should try not to take striking out 3 times in a row to hard.
He's bound to have days like this against leftys.
Hard to believe this pathetic bunch are the same guys that led the league in runs scored the first couple months of the season.
Someone's got to tell Loney that you actually have to swing the bat to drive in runs (though I have to admit that pitch was outside.)
Really one bad inning for PADILLA.
5 innings, not bad overall.
Nice going R A F F Y.
Urgh why couldn't Loney get that double in this innings.
My postings are out of wack again.
Every Day Dre sure is not making much of a case he can hit lefthanders. The pitchers have made adjustments on him because when he first started playing on a regular basis he did not seem to have problems hitting lefties. Hopefully he can make some adjustments on his own.
Looks like another day at the office with regard to leaving runners in scoring position. Hard to figure why the Dodgers have so much trouble pushing runs across the plate.
You said shad. He's a career .260 hitter against LHP. i don't remember him being this bad last year.
Bad AB by Loney. The ump has been calling those pitches strikes. Loney got to protect the plate. Another wasted opportunity.
One more out Padilla
I'm glad that Ethier didn't strike out that time.
We don't know what he would've done.
The time warp is not only on this blog. I have seen it in my blog where I answer someone and yet my answer gets ahead of the question. Mark is the person to direct questions at
I remember Ethier was hitting over .300 against them as a rookie?
Dang wish Padilla could had done that in the 3rd innings.
Shad, same question I have been asking. Where is the bases clearing double? Where is the key hit with runners on base? The hits come but at the wrong time.
It's about time Raffy!!!!
Loretta is absolutely worthless as a PH. Tell me there's not someone better at Albuquerque. Of course Ned in his infinite wisdom released our best pinch hitter months ago and he now plays in Pittsburgh.
Agreed Scott.
Crash – I think my left you-know-what could do a better job than Loretta. Jeez, I'd even rather see JP up there.
That hit by Furcal came at the right time!
I found it he was hitting .351 in only 77 ab's.
It continues…
Runner on 2nd 1 out. Loretta flys out and doesn't move up the runner.
Do I need to continue this? I know it is easier said than done. I know I'm overweight and only play slowpitch softball & am sitting on my butt, but they are professional. They just really seem to really be lacking when they are in those situations. I get the feeling that they feel they can score whenever so it's no big deal when they don't. A little bit like how the Lakers sometimes play. They coast through a good part of the game because they know they are that good.
Maybe we should go back through the games this year and type up each wasted opportunity & the final score & see what could of been.
Then send it to the coaching staff.
However that being said, I'm sure they are all aware of it.
Well at least DRE didn't strike out this time.
Yep and Loney owned lhp and De La Rosa at .636 in his career and that's translate to 6/11 coming into this game.
JPD – Blake DeWitt could likely do a better job than Loretta.
Ok, Torre, you genius, who's going to pitch the next 4 freaking innings when Sherrill and Brox both pitched last night? Padilla was actually doing fine, 5 IP, 80 pitches…Why didn't Hudson swing away and have Padilla sacrafice? Stupid Torre.
Tracy could had walk Furcal and Kemp to face the Ethier the chance of him getting a hitting is was 1/10 against De La Rosa is not good.
Tracy could had walk Furcal and Kemp to face Ethier the chance of him getting a hitting is was 1/10 against De La Rosa is not good.
Scott – depending on Loretta and Furcal to do anything is like trying to draw to an inside straight… this time they got lucky and got the card.
actually that was 7/11.
I think Torre seen Padilla alot and now he could explode anytime pass the 5th innings and do you really trust him? He probably could go one more inning but you know he want to play for the lead.
Oh Come on dela rosa over 100 pitches, 4th time around for the D-boys, and can they not be patient. The 7th was our time to knock this game, now we shall see if our BP can outperform the rocks
How is giving up outs and counting on Loretta and Furcal playing for the lead? We got lucky to get one and 3-2 isn't going to cut it at Coors.
Alright it's great to see Hawpe have a bad series against the Dodgers. 1 for 11 so far.
Tulowitski was safe on the steal, no question about it.
His foot was way ahead of the tag,
You've gotta to have faith doh
Yeah status Kuo
To bad Hawpe got that 2 run homerun.
I got a bad feeling about taking Shake n Blake out of the lineup. We may need his bat.
And to shut them down the very next inning after we went ahead, can go a long way.
EL TRONCO holds them.
Then it's SHERRILL
I like torre's move there, and the results worked.
The 8th will be their big guns. Now we have to score some runs.
As obvious as it seems TBW, with Torre who know?
But I think you're right.
Looks like Torre wants Sherrill to get one out here and then pitch the eight. It's risky, but this is the way we got to win games, when we don't score a lot of runs.
You had a feeling he was going to make that double switch this was a good move.
Looks like Joe's looking for a 4 out save from Brox.
I hope this works……..
and blah I want some run.
Didn't we used to own Morales when he was a starting pitcher at one time?
For sure Morales will be back for the 9th.
Well SHERRILL did his job, now it's up to Big Bad Jon.
We need to get Troy his 3/3 and had a game winning rbi 2 days ago
Well guess not but the Rockies should put him in the rotation.

Dang Tulo is giving Sherrill a better
Damn Hawpe got a singled let's get the last out
awwwwww come on I bet Sherrill could had got that last out
Imagine Broxton pulling a Wolf here.
Thanks Adkins help us out there
I was scary when Ethier got on it was obvisiouly they were going to ibb Manny to get Broxton. lol Ethier why you took the bat out of Manny hand.
Big out by Broxton. Boy is Torre managing this game like a playoff game. It does have that feel to it.
Funny, I was a little worried that Broxton would get a hit and spend too much time on the base path. (duh)
I meant to do this before but here it is now in the slight chance that someone has seen her.
Don, who writes the Rockpile Rant, needs our help. His oldest daughter has been missing. Here is the link to his blog with a picture of his daugther and the police flyer
Urgh I have to blame Ethier for this. He took the bat out of Manny hand and when does a double switch back fire on the manager.
It would had been nice if Broxton would got a hit or a 3 runs homerun
Furcal………….OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh no dp now
I can't watch, Too much. Broxton is too ****************
oh n/m Tracy was ibb Manny on purpose.
lol 1st pitch back to back hit damn
1 more what did Furcal do?
come on ox
lets all hold our collective breath right now… broxton needs three more outs…
It's nice to be 4 game up again 🙂
Whewwwwwwwwwwwww that was scary
Well, I have to give it up to Brox for getting 4 tough outs. Nice job. Torre still sucks.
Congratulations to Vicente Padilla for his first win as a Dodger!
Who would had guess that a 3-2 scored would hold up.
12-3 vs them
Can you believe this, Tracy is bringing in a right hander to face Broxton. Broxton has 1 hit in his professional life as a minor leaguer.
Here we go. If Broxton is a big time closer he has to close out this win.
2 more outs…
come on brox…
Now I ask you,
Great job from Brox there after the miscue from Furcal!
2 of 3 in their park. Let 'em chew on that awhile.
Woo hoo! Nice job VP, Brox and the rest of the staff. Nice hitting Matty! Glad we came out on top in a one run game! Now up 4 on the Rox going into Cincy!
This 4 is actually better than the 4-up last Sunday.
We cut some games off the magic number.
YahOOOOOOO! Celebrate! Broxtonized! Now the Giants can lose too! I think Torre managed this one good. Furcal comes through. Kemp got it on. I Guess I can work now? Nah
That was interesting and I was thinking the same thing when they walked Manny to get to Broxton's spot: Did Joe outsmart himself? Still don't like asking Brox to get a 4 out save but somehow he got the job done. And I agree that although I did not see the game it did seem as if both managers treated it as a playoff game. I suspect the mood on this blog will improve from two days ago. And I know "woulda couldas" don't mean anything but the Dodgers came pretty darn close to sweeping this series.
Alright that was a great win. Raffy almost blew it there trying to tag out the runner going to second. Should have went for the sure out at first. Great pitching by Broxton to strike out Smith. For all the negative flak the Dodgers get you have to give them a lot credit. They took 2 out 3 from the Giants in SF and 2 out 3 from the Rockies in Colo. with the pressure on. That was very impressive.
He did but still would been nice if Sherrill would had gotten that last out in the 8th as seeing that Broxton got up to bat in the 9th and I really didn't have a problem with Padilla getting yanked early but he's a 6 innings pitcher with Texas this year..
Great win by the Boys in Blue!!! It was a great series. A little recap…
#16 should be in the running for the MVP..He has been very impressive..Check that he is the MVP of the NL!!!!
Randy Wolf with any run support this year and he would have 13-15 wins already. He took alot of heat on ITD and he did not deserve it. He has been our most consistent starter all year. Way to go Wolf…
Padilla, I did not see the game, but he seemed to have pitched well in a big game. I assume Joe did not want to push him. The BP again was impressive. Kuo if he could just stay healthy, he is incredible. Sherrill and Troncoso were good and the Big Man did his job.
Way to go boys, now lets open up this lead!!!
Six inning pitchers seem to be the norm these days.
Nice to see the boys sack up a little this series. They're still not doing anything with men on base though and its not just a couple guys – it's the whole team. Credit the pitching for keeping them in the games. Nice job by Padilla today. I really didn't expect too much from a Ranger reject, but he did OK.
Furcal's got to be taken out of the leadoff spot. Let Kemp have a go for the rest of the year. The rare times Ferk gets on he can't steal anymore, so bat him 7th or 8th where he can't hurt anything. Catching in general is just a black hole. They'll need to get someone next year that can throw and call a good game. If they can also hit .250 with a few knocks, even better, but they definitely need to upgrade from Martin-Ausmus.
Randy Wolf has been leading by example…..He was talking to himself coming out of thye game the other night…..He did a fine job and was wanting more 🙂
Great Series Boy's!!!! Congrat's to Padilla on his first win as a Dodger.
Keep On Keep'n On Boy's!!!
Lets make the Rockies a mere reflection come Oct….
Out here in Utah we get Fox Rocky Mtn, so I got to watch the last three games. The Rocks announcers do a good job of beating the drums for the home team and their energy was pretty high,especially after the first game. By the end of the game this afternoon, they had pretty much been brought back to earth and gave credit to the Dodgers,and started looking forward to San Francisco.
It was Jim Tracey in an articulate post game interview that spelled it out for the Dodgers, Rocks, and Giants: There are 34 games left with many possibilities left to go. Many things can and probably will happen. All three of these teams are playing for the post season and will keep fighting towards that end. The Dodgers showed up for this series, but the Rocks are not going anywhere, nor the Giants either for that matter. I still think it is going to be a fight to the finish. You'd be foolish to count on otherwise.
I always thought, and still do, think Tracey was a class act and good manager, and got pretty PO'd when he was allowed to leave. Fired off an email to the Dodgers wondering how long we would have to put up with De Podesta. Thankfully he was soon gone but Tracey was in Pittsburgh.
If Torre was going to double switch he should've moved Loney putting Blake at 1st base so he could've hit instead of Broxton spot coming up behind him lucky that one didn't backfire on us.
Let's me try that again. If Torre were going to double switch he should've removed Loney and put Blake at 1st bases so he could've hit instead of Broxton spot coming up behind him but lucky that one move didn't backfire on us. He has removed Loney before and put Blake at 1st with Martin only time at 3rd or heck you can even had Martin at 3rd.
lol wow the Dolphins and Bucs game is suspended. They can played in the rain this isn't baseball.
Wow De La Rosa is like 5-0 against SF thanks god he not facing them with that pathetic offense.
lol 0-5 against us in his career funny thing
Wow you seen weird thing with a position player pitch 1 innings but not 3 Nick Green did that was the Red Sox.
Actually 2 and the dback leading 3-0.
Good Evening ITD readers and writers!!! I got to watch some of the game during my lunch time. So, I got to see Matt's bomb. It was great to see the win.
Good Morning ITDland ~ GO DODGERS!!! Let's continue our winning ways!!!!

In American Megafauna and its newer version Bios Megafauna, each of up to four players has up to four species in play. Each species has several traits, and some traits can be multiplied (values up to 3). I've found the visualization of this information, so that all players cna easily inspect all the species currently in play, to be deficient in both games and am looking for advice on approaches we might take, including developing new play aids.
In American Megafauna each trait is represented by a little cardboard tent, and you put these tents on your playing mat (which sits in front of you). If you have more levels of a trait you use extra tents. This can sometimes be hard for even the player himself to see, let alone people sitting across the table; the tents are small (but if they were bigger they wouldn't fit on a reasonable table because they're numerous), and if you're viewing a tent closer to edge-on you can't read it.
Bios Megafauna acknowledges this problem and tries to fix it. However, what it does is to split the information up: the central playing board has tracks for some of the traits (you place your species markers on the appropriate tracks), and some traits come from cards that you play on the table in front of you, and if you've spun off a species from another one you might have chits on your mat indicating whcih traits were inherited. Each individual piece of this -- track, card, chit -- is easier to see than the tents from American Megafauna, but now you have to look in three places.
What playing aids would help us solve this problem? I'm currently thinking in the direction of stackable, color-coded markers -- or it's possible that good old paper and pencil is the answer. What have others tried for either of these games?

Hank Silverberg, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – An experiment that was supposed to save the taxpayers money may actually be costing them part of their tax refunds.
In Virginia this year there are no refund checks. Not printing them saves money.
Residents get their tax refunds by either direct deposit to their bank accounts or through prepaid debit cards called Way2Go.
As of the first week in April, more than 200,000 of the debit cards have been issued compared to more than $3 million in direct deposit refunds, according to the Virginia Department of Taxation. Virginia state taxes are due May 1.
The debit cards, which are new this year, are designed to help people who do not have bank accounts. But if they are used over time, instead of cashed immediately, there are hidden fees.
The cards are designed to help you clear out your refund in one transaction, says John Kiernan, chief analyst at CardHub.com.
"If they were going to charge everyone to access their money, they would be in really hot water," he says.
There is one free bank transaction on the card. After that, card holders will be charged a fee. Kiernan says that's not uncommon with a pre-paid card.
Card holders also are charged a fee at any ATM other than MoneyPass ATMs.
There will be a fee if the card stays inactive for six months. It is as much as $3 a month. Part of the fee goes back to the state of Virginia.
See the Way2Go fee schedule.
So how can consumers avoid the fee?
"Use direct deposit if you can, and if you can't, try to get your money out of this card in one transaction as soon as possible," Kiernan says.

President Barack Obama said the swine flu vaccine is voluntary but the government will "strongly recommend" that citizens get it.
"I don't want anybody to be alarmed, but I do want everyone to be prepared," Obama said.
Obama spoke after he was briefed on the nation's preparation for swine flu by officials that included Health and Human Service Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.
U.S. & World
A vaccine is currently being developed and will likely be available by October. A new report from the White House showed that as many as half the U.S. population could be infected.

Customer Reviews
Recommended to me by a friend and I would highly recommend Plantation Shutters to anyone else who is looking to get shutters installed. Super helpful service from the whole team at Plantation Shutters. From initially measuring up while I was abroad with work, to adjusting my order when I had changed my mind and the top-quality installation. Most importantly, the customer service and transparency has been great. I placed this order on 4th Feb (just as COVID-19 was spreading to Europe). The team were in regular contact throughout and still delivered on time - even a global pandemic could not derail them! Impressive stuff! Thanks again!!

I think mine has to be at least 50 lbs. I hate to make trips to the truck so my bag is just the right mix of tools [for me] to complete 98 percent of my calls.
Maybe we oughta design our own preliminary diagnosis bag. If I has a wish I would want a lightweight circular bag with a ohms meter in the center. Surrounded by essential nut-drivers, Phillips, and flathead's, wire Skinner, and crimper tool.

True to size, soft leather that shapes to foot over time.

Using soft suede or tough Atlas leathers, the BBC will be the year-round accessory that will complete any rough & ready outfit you might have planned.

Tune in, Turn on, and Vog out!

Nice Standard Boot with Flair!
BBC's are the absolute best!!!!!!!!
So comfy!
BBCS Are GREAT!
Butter Soft Comfort
Very poor quality
Disappointed with BBCs
They wore down to the point of needing replacement in a little over 3 months with a normal amount of use. Since they fell under the 8 month warranty I reached out to the store they shipped from only to be absurdly informed that these are "fashion" not "utilitarian" boots (nice try putting it back on me... what do you think i'm doing in these boots anyway??) and that the sole replacements would not be covered under warranty.
It's a massive bummer to spend this much on a pair of urban boots only to have to take them to a cobbler a few months later for a new sole. Why not make them right in the first place or at least stand by the product?
To the potential buyer: budget to replace the soles immediately after purchase or better yet, save yourself the trouble.
Absolute Disappointment
There are 2 versions of the BBC
Best boots I have ever owned
Squeaky shoes
Super Squeaky!!!
Love at first sight that turned sour three months later
First of all there sizing is truly awkward. I always wear a 7.5 yet somehow the right length of shoes for me with Fluevog's BBC is 6.5. The only thing that is truly a problem about that is that though the sizing of the length can fit they do become narrower with the smaller size. While in the store I was told , do not worry they will give in, it;s better to buy the tighter fit as they will stretch and possibly become to loose. Well I bought these shoes three months ago and they are still super tight around the toe seam! They advertise them as medium narrowness yet believe you me they are not! They are indeed a narrow fit! THE BIGGEST disappointment though is that after three months of wearing them i already have to change their heels and front sole rubber. This is what I was advised to do when I took them back to the store. I was told that you must change the soles as they are already worn into the under-sole. ! Seriously? Three months of wear and I already have to pay to change the soles? I have always bought real cuio leather shoes and NEVER been in this situation!! I am confident that the 275 $ plus tax is not for the craftsmanship of these shoes but for their name ! I wish i could take them back!
Luscious Lace-Ups
I love these shoes!
Being an international customer I am always pleased with the customer service when I order my shoes.
Cinderella in camo!
Don't set off airport scanners!
BBC cameo
Best boots ever!!!
I never take these off!!
Best Goddamn Shoes!!! oops, maybe that's a bit much for here....
Duck Dynasty Shoes?
I love these boots!
2) I'd say these boots fit true to size. They're comfortable, versatile and well-made and I can tell they're going to be one of my favourite pairs of 'vogs.
hipsters delight
Loving the purple ones!
Not what I expected
I have wider feet, and this shoes was little tight for me. From the photo, it looks like it's wider shoes. I wanted a wider look (chunky look) but I'm little sad about this.
This shoes, definately looks better with little warn out look.
À part çaa, les bottes sont certainement bonnes pour quelques décades (mon désir). Elles sont magnifiques.
Ma fille, 10 ans, les qualifie de "Nanny McPhee boots!"
they just make me happy
Anyway, I love them, I love that they're suede and I can brush off any dried dirt, and I love the way the YYC store treated me. You really should get a pair.
sad face
Love the boots
I finally gave in after a few blister-filled months and had them stretched out by a professional. So. Worth. It. Now all my other shoes are jealous, since I pretty much wear only these shoes throughout the fall, going strong for almost 3 years now. Will never give them up.
The product photos don't do these boots justice, especially for smaller women's sizes. . . it looks goofy here!
My first and go-to Fluevogs
If the shoe fits, wear it!
Love Them
I love the Boston Vog!
Love 'em, but seams?
I would have paid another $50 for a boot with a smooth leather lining...
Will have to glue something on top or wear bandaids...
So many people swear by these so hopefully one gets used to it...:( (:-|
Great Boots
These boots are my favourites yet--they were instantly comfortable and needed minimal breaking in, and make me feel like walking all the way across Canada! They are rugged enough for when I go home to the Yukon, cute with a skirt in the city, under pants, over pants, laced up or worn slouchy... they are camping boots, walking boots, adventure-on-the-high-seas boots!!! :-D
Even Beautiful Boots Break Your Heart
Kenny Rogers taught me, "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer," and now I know why. It hurts, Kenny. It hurts.
love love love
ab fab!
dresses, rolled up jeans and so many more options the versatility of them is phenomenal! So worth the 3 year hunt for this style of boot to be created
again.. way to go John and staff! Much Love and Appreciation
Now I know why everyone has these
I LOVE these boots!
I LOVE these boots!
LOVE these boots!
Burgundy is intense
Oh, heaven!
I got a size 8 (wear a 7 1/2 in muggle shoes) and they fit perfectly. Jill from the Vancouver store checked the fit, and she even sent an extra pair of laces along - thank you! Spent the evening lovingly rubbing dubbin into the boots (I got the brown) and they're just wonderful. Can't wait for the slush to be gone so that I can start wearing these!
They are a beautiful, broken-in brown and are narrow enough for my stupid narrow feet. I think they will only get more comfortable as they get more broken in - now to figure out which will be my next pair...
stares please
The perfect casual lace-up
Like I said, it's the perfect casual lace-up. I dress it up sometimes with dark jeans and a jacket. I got the dark brown ones with the turquoise laces! HIP! I find that using a neutral shoe polish/wax works best. As it doesn't really change the color (darkens just a tad) and even enhances and protects the natural wear and grain of the leather.
I tremendously enjoy this shoe John Fluevog! Thank you!
Love them
I love my Radio BBC's
Love love love
Best Boots!
Sizing Sadness
Perfect in every way
So the skinny on what i can tell you about these boots:
1) My girls and i both own a pair of BBC if that is telling you anything. Heck i would own a second pair if it weren't for some pesky kids selling other fluevog varieties!
2) If you are a 1/2 size go up to the next full size.
3) My 11s stretched enough to allow me to wear a superfeet 3/4 insole in them, even though they were super tight to begin with. But Clare's(my girl) fit perfect to begin with and have not over stretched in any way. Hum, perhaps magic of some sort?
4) I wore down the gummy leather sole on mine pretty quick and had a rubber 3/4 sole put on top to keep them trucking. I think the newest ones have a rubber 3/4 sole on them for this reason.
5) These bad boys have survived me working in a machine shop environment with NO signs of stopping anytime soon.
6) BBC boots look great with cuffed jeans or fancy pants for going out. Perhaps even attending a wedding if your hip enough?
So the BBC are both soft and loving while being ready for the rough and tumble life.
Thanks go out to the boston store for all there help and guidance in all things fluevogian.
I less than three the BBC
Absolutely love the BBC's!
I have to say I couldn't have been more excited when I knew that my black BBC boots were on their way from Vancouver's Granville store. I am even more excited, and totally satisfied, now that I've been wearing my BBC's for a couple weeks. I work in a clinic and have even worn them for some of my 10-hour days on my feet and have never felt the horrible pain of new-boot blisters. It almost feels like they were made for my feet! I can't recommend these boots more highly! Rush out and get a pair!
Very chic, sturdy and affordable boots
I did notice that between two identical sizes of the same black boot (from different shipments) there was a big difference in the inside feel of the boot. One pair had a bulky and uncomfortable seam inside underneath the toe cap topstiching, as well as a more stiff and protruding back heel seam inside. So I opted for the "newer" shipment pair that did not have the Topy sole on them, but were smooth and comfortable in the interior. I'm glad that I tried them in person.
Since they are on layaway (I was only going to try the size but when I realized how cool they were and how fast they sell I thought I should put tham aside)...I can't speak to the overall comfort and wearability, but judging by the other reviews they will be good for years to come.
A very beautiful shape, rugged, artsy and utilitarian. I have black ones on hold at JF and burgundy on hold at Gravity Pope (again I wanted to snag the ones with a comfy lining in burgundy while available).
So, these fit a narrow foot very well, but have lots of room for adjustment. Excellent value for the quality of boot. Can't wait to get both of mine and run around town! :) :-}
kick butt boots
A very fine boot
If you are wondering if you should buy your Fluevogs - stop, just do it. You will be happy you did. *Absolutely* the finest boot I ever bought. Will I wear my BBCs while on my bike? no, I have other boots for that, but in all other cases, it's me and my BBCs. As with other folks here, the support folks couldn't be more attentive and available. I don't leave near a Fluevog store, so Monica from San Francisco called me several times as we discussed various aspects of my boots. I got them friday and am loath to take them off. I cannot encourage you too much to go ahead - buy them. Just do it. /john
Soho Fluevog rocked my socks off!
Radios rock
These absolutely rate ten out of ten stars!!!!!!

Those looking for an inexpensive tablet computer may be shying away from the iPad 2, which retails for about $500, and looking more closely at the cheaper Android tablets -- namely the $199 Amazon Kindle Fire. But what those shoppers don't know is that the $99 Android tablet is coming.
The $99 Novo7 from Hong Kong-based company Ainovo, is a new challenger in the tablet market, offering Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, a 7-inch screen, dual cameras, 3D capability, 1080p video playback and a 1 GHz, single-core MIPS processor, according to IDG News. It also reportedly has eight hours of battery life while watching videos, seven when browsing the Web.
The Novo7 isn't available in the United States just yet, but is likely to arrive early next year.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The sub-$100 breakthrough is a new one, but likely to catch on both in the United States and abroad. Even if the Novo7 isn't exactly what a user wants, a $99 price tag may change a lot of minds. Perhaps it's cut corners and frills, but it will give the user what it needs -- a cheap tablet computer that's easy to transport. With only a 7-inch screen, the Novo7 is about 30 percent smaller than the iPad 2, but it's also $400 less.

The ISU Planetarium Presents: Ring World!
Event Description
The Illinois State University Planetarium is excited to present Ring World!, running weekends from September 1 through September 16. Show times are Fridays at 7:30 PM and Saturdays at 2 PM and 7:30 PM.
After a nearly seven-years journey, the two-story Cassini-Huygens spacecraft began orbiting Saturn on July 1, 2004. Today Cassini continues to explore Saturn and its moons, during the spacecraft's extended mission. Meanwhile, the Huygens probe soft-landed on Saturn's largest moon Titan on January 14, 2005.
NASA plans a fiery end to Cassini by plunging the spacecraft into Saturn's atmosphere on September 15. Thus, we look back at this incredible mission in an encore presentation of Ring World, narrated by Star Trek's John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox on Star Trek: Enterprise) – now in full-dome video. We also look at a few mission highlights and a tribute to Cassini.
Admission to the ISU Planetarium is $4 for adults, $3 for children ages 5-12 and seniors, and $2.00 for children ages 3-4. Tickets may be purchased in the Planetarium Gift Shop, next to the Planetarium, beginning 20 minutes before each show.
The ISU Planetarium is located under the white domed roof at the eastern end of Felmley Hall of Science Annex. Felmley Hall is located on the northeast corner of the ISU campus at the intersection of College Avenue and School Street.
Free parking for the weekend programs is available a short distance from the ISU Planetarium in University parking lot F-67, located on the east side of School Street.
For more information, please call the ISU Physics Department at (309) 438-8756 or visit our web site by Googling Illinois State University Planetarium.

"The Chameleon"
When you imagine a trip to Bali, you may think first of lying on white sand beaches in the shade of tall palms. But a bit away from the water is where the magic can really happen. The jungles of Bali are rich with greenery and wildlife — and if you're lucky enough, you may even find yourself at one of the island's most luxurious estates, nestled right into that jungle. The home featured here is just such a retreat. Featuring a sparkling clear infinity pool, an outdoor bath, and plenty of indoor space for the long and luxurious evening of a vacation, this home is a true treasure, as you'll see in the photos from photographer Daniel Koh.
The Makeover…It's Personal – The Master Bedroom with Walk-in Closet and Ensuite Bath
The demolition and construction started in our service kitchen that will house our future Master's Bedroom.
Since the whole house will apparently be uncomfortable to live, we decided to prioritize the bedroom as originally planned and suggested to the architect. This will be the Phase 1. The room will accommodate my whole family during the renovation period.
We wanted the same requirements as in our previous one, but we wanted it to have a high ceiling, bigger space with the open shelves walk-in closet and ensuite T&B as usual. The architect suggested making a customized king size bed frame with headboard, including the side tables.
This room has been our common bedroom, our refuge from all dust and mess from outside and temporary storage. It was definitely an unwelcoming idea for my wife, but does she have any choice? Even if it was not yet ready for the installation of the air-conditioning unit, it was immediately installed.
5 Clever Small Loft Ideas
Crunched for space, the residents of these homes—mostly under 1,000 square feet—have the same ideas: look upward and compartmentalize. Lofted sleeping areas, closets, and reading nooks are among the smart space-saving solutions.
Super Tiny Home Design Under 30 Square Meters (Includes Floor Plans)
This beautiful apartment may be on the smaller side, but the layouts are super smart! This clocks in at less than 40 square meters of floor space, yet it make the most of the compact layouts by striking the perfect balance between openness and functionality. And get ready to redefine your loft goals: this apartment features lofted bedroom and office, clearing out plenty of space for other lifestyle necessities.
What Is Mid-Century Modern, and Why Do We Love It So Much?
We all know that styles are cyclical and, of course, the world of interior design is not exempt. The best aesthetics will be popular again and again. Right now, mid-century-modern design is making a comeback and, if you ask us, it's for good reason.
What is it about this aesthetic that keeps us coming back for more over half a century later? We'll tell you why mid-century modern will never really leave us — and how to work the style into your interiors while making sure they are rooted in the new millennium. After all, sometimes the old way of doing things really is the right way.
What Is Mid-Century Modern?
If you've ever seen an episode of Mad Men, you're already familiar with mid-century-modern design. In fact, the term was coined in 1984 by author Cara Greenberg. She used it to discuss the signature looks of the 1960s in her book Mid-Century Modern: Furniture of the 1950s.
Though the moniker has become a bit broad in the past few decades, it's most commonly used to refer to the styles that became popular in a post-World War II landscape. While there may be a few variations, most people agree that this time period extends from 1945-1969.
Interestingly, this style doesn't just refer to aspects of interior design. It is commonly used as a descriptor for any architecture, furniture, accessories, materials and technologies that grew in popularity after the end of the war.
It Showcases Simplicity
When you look at design projects that follow a mid-century-modern style, the one thing you won't see is tons of excess. Rather than requiring a bunch of ornate embellishments, the mid-century look is all about stripping items down to their barest elements and letting their function become the star.
Keep this in mind when it comes to choosing the items that will fill your space. Look for furniture that has clean lines and, if needed, multiple uses. Stick to décor items that are modern or geometric in their aesthetic.
This concept should also be taken into account when it comes to designing the layout of your space. Rather than cluttering up the room, focus on choosing one strong focal area that will dictate the room's function. For example, consider using a statement table in your dining room or creating an inviting seating area in your living room. Then, don't be afraid to step back and allow negative space to play a key role in your design.
It Lets Us Play With Color
Of course, when you focus on bringing simplistic shapes into your space, it becomes necessary to add a layer of visual interest elsewhere. The mid-century-modern look does that by incorporating bold pops of color. Brooke Schneider, a designer based in Long Beach, Calif., explains it best:
"When homeowners think 'color,' they often think of the bright hues of the mid-century time period. With clear, cheerful colors, the 1950s exhibited a new American outlook of optimism that was comfortably removed from the drab war years."
Don't be afraid to go big with shades like blueberry, citron or fire-engine red. Just be sure to avoid mixing multiple loud colors like they did in that time period. Doing so might make your space look more outdated than retro-inspired. Instead, focus on tempering one colorful statement piece with more neutral hues to ensure a modern twist on this style of design.
It Connects Us With Nature
Since mid-century-modern design is all about simplicity, it makes sense that this school of style would harbor a strong connection to nature. In particular, those who are looking for ways to embrace sustainable design may be interested in what this aesthetic has to offer.
First, it's important to consider how nature can affect the layout of the space. In mid-century architecture, large windows often play a key role. But anyone can work off those principles by making windows the focal point of your space whenever possible and making sure that they stay unencumbered from heavy drapery.
As for the design elements to fill your space, focus on choosing items made from natural materials such as wood, metal and leather or cotton textiles. Don't be afraid to bring the outside in by adding greenery to accent your design.
There's a reason why mid-century-modern design is present in our consciousness after over a half-century since its debut. Whether it's the clean lines, bold colors or connection to nature, this school of style is currently making a big comeback in interior design.

Power of Attorney (Financial)

Power of attorney definition: A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that lets you appoint someone to handle financial and legal matters on your behalf. The person authorizing the other to act on their behalf is referred to as the principal, grantor, or donor. The person authorized to act is the agent or attorney-in-fact. With a power of attorney, the person you appoint will be legally permitted to take care of important matters for you, including paying your bills and managing your investments, if you are unable to do so for yourself. A durable power of attorney (DPOA) serves the same function as a power of attorney, however, a durable power of attorney is effective even if you become incapacitated.
Let someone you trust make important financial decisions if you're unable to.
A power of attorney is a cheaper and less stressful alternative to guardianship proceedings.
With a plan in place, your finances stay under control if a serious illness occurs.
If you want to give your agent more control or less, or change agents entirely, you can simply fill out a new power of attorney form. We also offer a legal plan that lets you make unlimited revisions to your POA document.Learn more about a power of attorney

Large chunks in the life of this man--sibling of a direct ancestor--are still missing. Mysteries abound. For the lucky, newspapers provide clues or even fill some biographical holes. Newspaper items can remind us our ancestors were human and faulty just as we are. Perhaps we can relate to long-past transgressions and crimes because of the news we are immersed in today. Aside from the event itself, in some cases we might learn how the community responded, an insight to social sensibilities. Dealing with something a couple of generations ago, we have distance from the contemporary emotional consequences and pain.
Hector McFadyen was born 28 December 1869 in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the son of John McFadyen and his wife Isabella Campbell, both natives of Cape Breton.[1] Hector's parents had married in the same town in January of that year.[2] What were two Capers doing far south of their home province? The family story is that the couple had sailed to "the Boston States" to sell their boat and make a stake to buy land in Canada's Northwest. John planned to change his occupation from seafarer to farmer.
Hector was a child when they arrived in Oakbank, Manitoba (also known as Sunnyside, and later Springfield), where his father duly staked his homestead claim in 1874 to a quarter section (160 acres) of prairie land.[3] More pieces of property were acquired as the family grew. The oldest of ten children, Hector probably learned farming at an early age. He appears to be the single man, age 31, a sole head of household at Springfield in 1901, where he was farming not far from his parents.[4]
The next thing we know of Hector is his marriage on 6 August 1909 to Katherine Grace Polley, born in Ontario to New Hampshire natives Albert M. Polley and Flora Fuller.[5] In British Columbia! By this time Hector was almost forty years old. Whether he had moved to BC or was visiting or engaged in farm business, we simply don't know.
Grace's family provides a clue for the distant encounter. Her father Albert Polley was quite an entrepreneur in mail and passenger stage service to northern Ontario towns from his base in Goderich.
But Albert's love of horses was paramount.[6] He bred and trained them in his stables and racetrack near the town and expanded to horse markets in Pennsylvania and British Columbia. Probably through his connections along the way---did his daughter travel with him?---Grace met a fellow horse lover called Hector McFadyen.
Hector has not yet been located in the 1911 census two years after his marriage. His wife Grace McFadden was then living with her parents on North Street in Goderich, Ontario.[7]
Our intermittent chronology now skips ahead to 1921 when widower Albert Polley died.[8] Grace inherited $986.00 from him while her single sister Charlotte was given the North Street house.[9] At about 11 p.m. on the last day of February 1923, smoke came pouring out of H. McFadyen's Grocery Store on the corner of North Street and the Square in Goderich.[10] (It seems Hector had relocated to his wife's home town and established a different kind of business.) Firemen were prompt and reported next day that losses were not heavy but the living quarters above the store, inhabited by Misses Elliott, were damaged. A short circuit in basement wiring was the suspected cause.
Hector McFadyen disappeared at the same time.
A few days later, March 6th, this notice was inserted in a Winnipeg newspaper, appealing for information of his whereabouts.[11] He was described as a "railroad construction man" and thought to be in western Canada. To the point, the notice said his wife Grace was "ill and entirely without money and urges him to write to her." An address was given to contact Grace in Toledo, Ohio. Two of Hector's sisters in Winnipeg composed the notice, likely after being contacted by Grace or someone on her behalf.
A second newspaper notice with more desperate overtones was published on March 7th; apparently from Grace herself:
"Your wife is ill and absolutely without money, do not be afraid to write. I have legal advice the police cannot hold you for fire. My furniture is held for heat and light.Mrs Grace McFadyen, [address withheld], Toledo, Ohio."[12]
Oh, the questions! Was Hector to blame for the fire? I suppose he scooted out of Ontario on a train. Certainly the families were communicating between Ohio and Manitoba. But why was Grace living in Toledo? Had she and Hector actually lived together in Goderich for some time?
March 22nd: Grace died in Toledo at the home of her sister, Mrs. W.B. (Helen) Major.[13] Her remains were shipped to Goderich for burial with her parents in Maitland Cemetery; her name on the stone is Grace P. McFadyen.[14] The local death notice does not mention her husband. Ironically, on the day she died, the same newspaper published her petition to initiate bankruptcy proceedings.
Hector's life after 1923 is yet another blank, with only a few clues on his death record. He died 18 November 1944 in Kamloops, BC; the informant was a man who lived at the same residence.[15] Hector had lived there less than two months before his death. Described as "contractor," his former address was Haney, BC, a small place east of Vancouver on the CPR railway line. Typical of families dealing with a black sheep, the McFadyens generally suppressed speaking of him to younger generations and Hector's full story was lost.
The value of newspapers in family history research can never be overestimated. They can help develop the three-dimensional ancestor. Let's applaud all who digitize newspapers and those who make them searchable!

Billingsley, Dodgers shut out Braves to take series
Atlanta, GA – Chad Billingsley scattered three hits over seven shutout innings to guide the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 5-0 win over the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a three-game set at Turner Field.
Billingsley (10-9) struck out four and walked two en route to his sixth consecutive win.
"(Billingsley) did a good job, we didn't even score," Braves center fielder Michael Bourn said. "He shut us down, there is nothing you can do about that. You have to tip your cap to him, he pitched a great game. He had us off balance and we couldn't get anything going against him."
Luis Cruz homered and Mark Ellis had two hits and drove in four runs for the Dodgers, who have won six of their last eight.
"It took me 160-something at bats to get one (home run)," Cruz said. "I feel really good, I've been working a lot, and I'm seeing the ball good. I'm just concentrating to put the bat on the ball and making a good swing."
Jason Heyward tripled and Michael Bourn had a base hit for the Braves, who have dropped two in a row on the heels of a four-game winning streak.
Mike Minor (6-10) was pegged with the loss despite giving up just one run on five hits over seven innings. Minor is 0-3 over his last four starts and hasn't won since July 28 when the Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 2-1.
Los Angeles loaded the bases with no outs in the third, but Minor was able to escape with no harm done. Shane Victorino flew out to right before Mark Ellis grounded into an inning-ending double play.
Cruz cracked a solo homer deep into the left field seats to put the Dodgers up 1-0 in the fifth.
Atlanta wasted an opportunity to get on the board in the sixth. Bourn singled and stole second with one out. Martin Prado grounded out allowing Bourn to move to third, but Heyward struck out to end the inning, standing Bourn on third.
Los Angeles added one more in the eighth to go up 2-0. Pinch-hitter Juan Uribe walked then moved to third when Victorino slapped a single through the hole at short on a hit-and-run. Ellis followed with a towering fly ball to right that Heyward circled under, but he lost the ball in the sun. The ball landed next to Heyward, but Uribe was able to score without a throw.
"Some of the breaks didn't go our way, there were some tough balls in the sky," Bourn said.
Andre Either later drew a walk to load the bases, but the Braves minimized the damage once again as Cristhian Martinez was able to get pinch-hitter James Loney to line out to first.
The Dodgers tacked on three more in the ninth. With the bases loaded, Ellis ripped a double down the third base line to clear the bases.
Game Notes
The Dodgers have won 10 of its last 13 road games, and have gone 14-6 in 20 road games since the All-Star break ... Los Angeles won its 20th series of the year ... After going 0-for-5 Dodgers short stop Hanley Ramirez had a five-game multi-hit streak snapped ... The Braves are 18-16 in day games this season ... Minor has allowed 24 homers this season.

Born in Piacenza, Italy in 1934, Giorgio Armani is one of the most celebrated and influential designers Italy has ever produced. But it was only by chance that he broke into the fashion industry in the Sixties, after brief forays into medicine (having studied at Milan University) and photography. Following his military service, Armani launched his career as a window dresser at a large Milanese department store, called La Rinascente. He later revealed that he developed his classic style during this time, following frequent trips to the UK. ""England was virtually the most important centre for inspiration,"" he says. ""When I was working for Il Rinascente we used to travel to London for the influences, to see the shops, to learn. I remember seeing some yellow cardigans in a small boutique and bringing them to Il Rinascente and everyone thought I was insane. Yellow cardigans were what the Duke of Windsor was about, they were not something for the average man. The entire idea of such clothing was so outré, so elitist... very, very English.""In 1964, armed with an in-depth knowledge of fabric and design, he was taken on as a designer for Nino Cerruti's men's clothing company, Hitman. Posts at Ungaro and Zegna were soon to follow. In 1974, Armani introduced his own menswear label, his first womenswear collection coming a year later.Since 1975, Armani has overseen the launch of Giorgio Armani Junior, Underwear, Swimwear, Accessories and Occhiali. Capitalising on the cachet of his more exclusive label, he opened the first of a series of stores selling his cheaper diffusion lines, Emporio Armani and Armani Jeans, in 1981. In 2000, he added a new make-up range to his output, specially designed by Pat McGrath. Today, the Armani empire comprises some 2,000 emporia world-wide with annual sales of more than $1 billion. His catwalk shows often draw a distinguished crowd when he was forced to show in New York in March 1998, after Paris police closed down his black marquee over Place Saint Sulpice claiming that the set-up was ""unsafe"", Robert de Niro, Spike Lee, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese, Sophia Loren and Wyclef Jean of The Fugees all came to watch. Nonetheless Armani claims to base his vision on the everyday people in the street, believing that clothes should be made to be worn not just seen and drawing on the skills he learned as a menswear designer to produce contemporary clothes for women. The wide-shouldered power suit that was a trademark in the Eighties has been softened into a more supple, practical silhouette and Armani's collections these days are elegant and understated (the designer has often expressed a dislike of ""important"" clothes). In 2000, Forbes declared Giorgio Armani to be the world's most successful designer, with personal earnings of $135 million in 1999. In 2001, the magazine put him at No.19 (behind the Bulgari family and ahead of the Pradas) on a list of Fashion's New Aristocrats.

Simplified pastoral training
in bite-sized books
Authenticity Book House publishes simplified pastoral training materials. ABH produces bite-sized books, capturing theological truths in easily understood language, for Swahili-speaking believers with limited educational access.
ABH author, Tom Golding, felt uneasiness stir in his mind. He sat surrounded by sleeping dogs, pecking chickens, a duck, and people—people of Kome Island, Tanzania—sitting around the home of a local witch doctor. People who just responded to the gospel. People getting ready to go home and start new lives as members of God's redeemed family.
Tom's mind raced in contrast to the lazily snoring dogs. How would the new faith of these people affect their lives on the island? Did they understand the growth available to them through God's Holy Spirit? How would new faith affect the life of the witch doctor himself? Would he change his job or simply stack new faith on top of old beliefs?
From this striking moment of contemplation comes our new bite-sized book, When God and Culture Clash. In this book, Tom asks hard questions and presents difficult challenges. Challenges for the new believers of Kome Island and challenges for believers in any stage of spiritual growth around the world.
To read this book means taking the risk of evaluating cultural beliefs against the reality of a God-created world. It means opening our minds to examine learned beliefs, often nurtured by man-made culture, against ultimate truth: God's Word.
What about you? We all carry cultural baggage, some lining up with truth and some not. Do you want to dive into this examination yourself? You can.
When God and Culture Clash available for purchase in Swahili and English soon!
God, Did We Hear You Right?
Everyone needs confirmation. Do you remember tentatively accepting your first job as a teenager, all the while wondering if you could really fill its requirements? Remember that first big purchase—a car or a home—and wondering if you chose wisely? Waiting for a hint of confirmation?
I'm sitting at my desk listening to ABH president, Fran Geiger Joslin, play snippets of interviews with Kome Island pastors and church leaders, as well as portions of worship, teaching, and story-telling. A joyful sound! The sound of confirmation for this publishing work God called Fran and her husband, Howard, to take on over four years ago.
As many remember, the spring of 2017 brought a bigger challenge—narrowing the ministry. What did the Lord have in mind? Through prayer and discussion, it became clear the focus of ABH should land exclusively on publishing simplified pastoral training in bite-sized books for Swahili-speaking pastors in East Africa. English versions soon joined their Swahili counterparts to open doors even farther into Africa and other English-speaking cultures.
Did confirmation follow? Yes! Pastors and church leaders engaged in a second ABH-led conference yielding heart change and passionate five-minute practice sermons. ABH books filled the hands of these growing spiritual leaders.
Testimonies sing and the joyful sound of worship rings out. All on an island where only three years ago witchcraft existed as the most visible spiritual force.
In the city of Mwanza, widows pressed hugs of joy into ABH staff as they received Fran's newly published bite-sized version of her book, Widowed: When Death Sucks the Life out of You.
Not Marked, by Mary DeMuth, found its way into the lives of young girls rescued from sex trafficking. The tears, the smiles, the hugs, and sermons all confirm God's work and truth, which our books seek to embody.
It takes a village to reach a village. Prayers, gifts, and other types of support here reach into the depths of Africa through the written and spoken Word of God. Confirmation and inspiration take hold as the new ministry year unfolds.

I upgraded to Lion yesterday and now I have a severe problem with the sync of ical with our Zimbra server.
I use the Zimbra iSync Connector 6.0.2495.
The problem is, that nearly most of the times when I start ical, the sync starts and when it's finished, it starts all over again but with a new duplicated account! So right now I have approximately 30-40 duplicates of my account... :( The ical application doesn't react any more now...
Does anybody have the same problem (and perhaps solved it)?
Until the upgrade everything worked fine. I reconfigured the account already and for a short time it worked, but now it goes berzerk again...
Best regards,
Johnny Lee

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After the Tennessee State football team's historic, 31-15, victory over Jacksonville State, six Tigers were named honorable mentions for the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) weekly accolades.
On defense, Anthony Bass, Samquan Evans and Marquaveus Jackson were up for FCS Defensive Lineman of the Week. Offensively, tight ends A.C. Leonard and Wesley Samuels were honored as well as running back Tim Broughton.
Against the Gamecocks last Saturday, Bass had four stops including 3.5 tackles for loss. Of those wrapped up in the backfield, 2.5 were quarterback sacks. The junior also forced a fumble and is the TSU team leader in quarterback sacks in 2013 with six.
Evans was equally as impressive as the Walkertown, N.C., native posted four tackles, three of which occurred behind the line of scrimmage. The big defensive tackle broke up a JSU pass and leads all TSU defensive linemen this season with 25 tackles.
Jackson had one of his best days of his four-year career in Jacksonville, recording four tackles, three of which were thrown for losses. Jackson had one quarterback sack and is second on the squad in tackles for loss with 8.0.
Bass, Evans and Jackson keyed an impregnable TSU front that held JSU to a season-low 292 yards (only 21 rushing), recorded 14 tackles for loss and forced a pair of turnovers.
In addition to the stout defense, TSU's tight ends had big days on Saturday as Leonard had team-highs in catches (five) and yards (51) while Samuels caught four balls for 27 yards. Two of Samuels' grabs went for touchdowns and Leonard added a score, too. Big Blue's two big targets have a combined 41 catches for 506 yards and eight touchdowns this season.
Broughton was the offensive's work horse once again in the Tigers' latest game, notching a career-high 190 yards on 26 carries. The senior is now the Ohio Valley Conference's rushing leader with 739 yards.
Tennessee State will try to continue its team-wide success on Saturday when the club travels to UT Martin for a 1 p.m. kickoff against the Skyhawks.

Sustainable design in Atwater Commons
Atwater Commons is a great example of sustainable design on Middlebury's campus. Both the dining hall and the newest residence halls were designed with sustainability as a high priority without sacrificing functionality or comfort. For more details about sustainable design in these building, check out the Atwater Dining Hall and Atwater Residence Halls pages in the left-hand navigation bar.
Atwater Dining Hall
Completed 2004
Atwater Dining Hall's most notable feature is its green roof, which uses shrubs and grasses to cover the roof. This increases storm water retention, improves insulation, provides moderate replacement to lost habitat. Because native plants species are used, maintenance of this system is minimal. The dining hall also employs daylighting, energy efficiency features, and FSC certified wood.
Benefits of a Green Roof
- Storm water management. Green roofs retain 70 to 100% of rainwater in the summer and 40 to 50% in winter. Excess water flows through the storm system and is cleansed by filtration though the plants and soil.
- Improved thermal insulation. Excess heat often present on a conventional gravel-ballasted roof is absorbed and re-radiated, substantially lowering air-conditioning costs. In winter, the added insulative layer of soil and plantings reduce heat loss, resulting in diminished heating costs.
- Extended durability of waterproofing. The insulative value of the green roof system also serves to protect the waterproofing layer from damaging ultraviolet radiation, prolonging the lifespan of the waterproofing system.
- Improved acoustical insulation. Green roof systems can reduce airborne sound levels by 40 to 50 decibels.
- Minimized development impact. The vegetation on the green roof provides moderate replacement to lost habitat and is an aesthetic improvement compared to conventional roofing materials.
- Extensive system. The low maintenance extensive green roof system supports exclusively native species of herbaceous plants and ground cover shrubs.
Atwater Commons Residence Halls
Known on campus as the Atwater Suites, the two newest building additions to Atwater Commons use an innovative ventilation system to cut down on energy use without sacrificing thermal comfort. Additionally, the sites for the buildings were chosen to minimize visual impact and reduce impervious surface area, and much of the building material used was recycled.
How does the ventilation system work?
- The buildings are oriented with their longest sides facing east-west to take advantage of seasonal prevailing winds.
- Masonry walls add mass and act as a thermal sink for cooler air.
- The suites are designed to allow for cross-ventilation.
- Transoms above doorways allow air flow between bedrooms and common spaces.
- All spaces are equipped with ceiling fans to assist air flow and all windows have operable shades.
- The high (11'-4") ceilings help to stratify warmer air from cooler air.
- Vertical ventilation stacks offer mechanical assistance in the removal of air from each suite by an individually controlled attic fan that exhausts air through chimneys and draws in cooler air though windows.

The Roosevelt Rubicon
Per the latest round of constitutional attacks on the now-passed Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), my original post from early January still holds.
The Roberts Court knows not to backpedal across the Roosevelt Rubicon. Striking down the PPACA will be today's equivalent of the pre-1937 Hughes Court's sustained attack on New Deal legislation.
Any invocations of, say, Citizens United in fear (or support) of the notion that the Roberts Court will not hesitate to strike down the law are overheated. We may expect the conservative bloc and Kennedy to chart rightward on conservative-libertarian issues, but as long as the Democrats hold at least one of the elected branches, the Court will invalidate neither landmark New Deal and Great Society legislation nor core components of the Obama agenda.
I cast the same suspicion over arguments citing Bush v. Gore as historical, if not legal, precedent for the Court's capacity for rash, political meddling. Challenges to the PPACA will simply lack the blinding immediacy of a Presidential election left unresolved a month before Inauguration Day.
Finally, all of this hand-wringing may be for naught: I think the circuit courts will uniformly uphold the law's constitutionality against attacks, and without a circuit split, I doubt the Court will even grant certiorari. And if there is a circuit split and the Court does hear the case, then I think we're likely to see a near-unanimous upholding of the law.
In contrast, the Court will more likely reserve its blockbuster 5-4 decision to affirm or reverse whatever the Ninth Circuit will hold on the gay marriage case, an issue of grave importance to movement conservatives without the imprimatur of historical inviolability implicitly grandfathered into the PPACA from its LBJ- and FDR-era ancestors.
