(CNN) -- Fashion Week in New York, London, Milan and Paris have ended in a flash of ruby-reds, turtlenecks and thigh-high boots. But what about Charleston, Nashville, Austin or Cleveland?
Granted, these aren't cities where editors, buyers and bloggers from around the world flock to discover next season's trends. But, regardless of what the Onion thinks of Iowa's style sense, regional fashion weeks matter to the communities that host them -- and they're starting to catch the attention of big-city fashion folk, too.
After all, "not all designers are born and bred in New York, Paris and Milan," said Fern Mallis, who's credited with creating New York Fashion Week as we currently know it. After her success there, she helped launch and guide fashion weeks in Sydney, Shanghai, Miami and Cleveland as senior vice president of IMG Fashion in the 2000s.
Each year seems to herald the launch of a fashion week in a smaller, regional U.S. city and, unlike their famous counterparts, runway shows aren't always the main event. Cleveland's schedule in May includes pop-up boutiques, wine and cheese parties and a screening of "Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel," a documentary about the influential fashion editor of Harper's Bazaar and editor-in-chief of Vogue. In April, Nashville Fashion Week will offer a day of industry panels and several nights of runway shows featuring a mix of hometown heroes and established brands such as Tracy Reese and Nonoo.
Yes, in some cities, the weeks are basically glorified business-boosting happy hours where flavored vodka drinks and rose flow liberally from local boutiques. There's a bit of navel-gazing, to be sure.
But, as Mallis put it, what's the harm in trying?
"Regional fashion weeks are aspirational. I find something very refreshing and honest about them," Mallis said. "If the sidebar is that restaurants and hotels get a lot of business, even better.
"The fashion industry is always looking for the next hot talent and you never know where you'll find it. It's a funny industry, where you need to be seen, and the best way for designers' work to be seen is on the runway, wherever it is."
"Project Runway" Season 11 contestant Amanda Valentine credits her participation in Nashville Fashion Week for the boost she needed to make the cut on the reality TV show.
She earns a living as a stylist in Music City's entertainment industry while still cultivating her brand from a studio in the basement of her Nashville home. But during fashion week, local organizers tend to provide models, hair and makeup services, saving designers like her thousands of dollars.
Valentine auditioned for "Project Runway" in 2009 but didn't make the final cut. After participating in Nashville Fashion Week, she returned for auditions in 2012 with a portfolio of professional runway images and press clips lauding her work.
"The exposure and press helps because it gives you an outside opinion that you can point to," Valentine said. "Having the professional images and the ability to say 'I participated in a show' also adds to your credibility."
Designers to watch after New York Fashion Week
Usually, runway shows distinguish the boozy shopping parties from events with the potential to propel young designers. A show in Nashville, Tennessee, or Austin, Texas, can give designers a chance to shine or stumble -- without the intensely critical media eye that looms over London or Paris. It just takes some time for a regional fashion week to grow from one to the other.
Charleston Fashion Week in South Carolina started out as a "chic party" in Marion Square and along King Street, where fashionistas hobnobbed over cocktails. In seven years, it has grown into an event that draws promising talent, industry heavyweights and thousands of attendees. Last year, the event's economic impact was $2.4 million, according to figures from the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The emerging designer competition is the event's centerpiece. The nightly showdown began Tuesday, whittling down a roster of 20 aspiring designers to five finalists, who sent their collections down the runway Saturday night in a bid for the grand prize.
The winner takes home $5,000 in cash, $10,000 in online marketing and promotional services, a book of professional runway images of the winning collection, and a sewing machine. Prizes like that would certainly help semifinalist Afriyie Poku, who makes a living doing custom alterations on a secondhand sewing machine in his Atlanta apartment. He's also on call for tailoring jobs at a hotel he quit last month to free up time to work on his menswear collection.
The tall-haired, Ghana-born Atlantan transformed the living room of his Midtown apartment into a workshop after being selected in December to participate in the contest.
Portrait of a Man Repeller at NYFW
His design idol is Ralph Lauren, so naturally his collection is based on traditional menswear silhouettes with what he calls an "attention to detail that brings it into the modern era." Poku takes pride in his fashion-forward embellishments, such as high-waisted riding pants with reverse pleats, a side zipper or leather inseam patches, and a double-breasted morning coat lined to be warm enough on its own.
The self-taught tailor says he has a character or archetype in mind for each piece -- the hunter, the gentleman -- but he acknowledges that he's designing for himself. That's how he learned to sew, by altering clothes to his liking, in a fitted, tailored style inspired by his uncles, businessmen in Ghana, even if his first creation was a pair of pants made from a bedsheet.
"My view was, 'Everything you wear has to fit well,'" Poku said. "But when I went to Macy's, things were not made to fit as I wanted, so I'd buy clothes and made them to fit like I wanted them to fit."
In the month before the competition, he stayed awake for days at a time to finish the collection. In the home he shares with his girlfriend, an aspiring opera singer, he pieced together 12 fall menswear runway looks -- eight for the semifinal and four more in case he advanced to Saturday night's final.
Poku said he doesn't want to start his own label or become a "Project Runway"-style celeb just yet. For now, his goal is to find an apprenticeship with an established menswear designer or contract sewer.
"I just want to give it a try and see what happens," he said in an interview last week in a home studio littered with spools of thread and bags of fabric. "Even if I don't win, I feel like just being there will help me find what I need to advance to the next level."
In Charleston, he knew he'd have the eyes of an appreciative local community, as well as some established designers from the upper echelons of high fashion.
Christian Siriano already has a foothold in the industry. Celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna and Heidi Klum wear his gowns on the red carpet. He has a flagship store in New York and an eponymous line sold in Neiman Marcus and boutiques around the world. Still, he had a full schedule this week in Charleston.
"We look at it as a business opportunity to find new customers and form new relationships with retailers," said Siriano, the youngest designer to win "Project Runway" or land on Crain's 40 Under 40 list. "Who wants to alienate a customer who's ready to shop?"
Siriano already showed his ballet-inspired Fall 2013 collection in New York and Paris, but he brought it to Charleston for a show Saturday. On Friday he participated in a trunk show hosted by a family-owned department store, Gwynn's of Mount Pleasant, where he would like to see his clothes sold, he said. He also judged the emerging designer competition, along with Mallis and other industry insiders and entertainers: singer-songwriter Ashanti, designers Brandon Sun and Antonio Azzuolo and Hannah Goff, winner of the 2012 Charleston emerging designer competition.
Cynthia Rowley judged the emerging designer competition in 2009, when swimwear designer Marysia Reeves won. Since then, Reeves' swimwear has been featured in publications including Vogue and WWD, and her collections have been picked up by Barneys New York, Anthropologie and other high-end boutiques around the world.
"Charleston has a sophisticated, fashion-savvy audience, so it's just a matter of making my products more accessible to them," said Rowley, who was in the city this week to visit her King Street store and promote her latest collection for Belk department stores. "It's also a great way for me to learn more about what's happening in fashion in that part of the country."
The emerging designer competition final drew hundreds of people Saturday. The competition was tight, but ultimately the panel chose Poku as the winner, with Mallis describing his collection as "something special." He also won the audience favorite award, another $250 prize.
Dozens of fans swarmed around him, making it hard for his sisters and girlfriend to reach him. As far as he was concerned, the win vindicated his efforts.
"It's shown me I am meant for this," he said of his win. "This is my way in life. Any impact I'll be able to make on the human race will be in this field."

Air-to-Air Photography: Shooting Magazine Covers with Jim Koepnick
Back in high school, Oshkosh, Wisconsin photographer Jim Koepnick used the generic exposure guide on the slide film box to set exposures on his Argus C3 camera. He didn't know at the time that playing around with a few boxes of Kodachrone would lead to hundreds of magazine covers and an uncountable amount of published images. He soon bought a Petri SLR from the J.C. Penney catalog to get involved with interchangeable lenses and flash. It was a logical next …

Anyone who lives in London will have an affection for black cabs - I know I do and in fact some would say I am too fond of them. Even when there is a perfectly good tube available I will often jump in a handy black cab, I love them and in a weird way every time I get in one I feel like a Beatle escaping a horde of teenage girls (I know, that's a little weird but I think I will always associate black cabs with fleeing rock stars). I hate to think how much money I have spent in my 14 years in London on black cabs but I don't regret a single journey - nowhere else in the world are there taxi drivers who know their city so well and can whisk you from Turnham Green to Brixton or Walthamstow to Shepherd's Bush and know all the shortcuts. On a journey last week where the other half and I had a particularly chatty (and endearingly glum) cabbie, we found out that the "classic" cab - being the Austin FX4 (like the one above that I snapped yesterday above) - is in the process of being phased out as their 15 year life span is up - the last FX4's were made in late 1997. Even though the subsequent models - the LTI TXI, TXII and TX4 - are similar in shape, they do not have the sturdy familiarity of the TX4. One of the things I noticed in our journey last week was that the TX4s still have the ashtrays inbuilt and it brought back so many memories of smoking in cabs. I know, I know it's a filthy killer habit but there was something so louche, so rock 'n roll about smoking ciggies in a black cab. Countless trips to and from crazy nights out, journeys with friends to dinners and parties, solo journeys staring out at London whizzing by. But it's not just the ashtrays that make the TX4s more appealling (in my eyes at least) to the new models that make them less romantic - it's a few things, the red leather straps, the chrome headlamps, the lack of that annoying Cabvision TV. Anyway - apparently the last of the Austin TX4's will be gone by May so take some time to appreciate them as they drive past you and maybe treat yourself to a final journey in what is a classic and iconic symbol of this city.

|Keeping Kids Safe Project
What We Do
We provide a system that will take a child's picture and fingerprints, using a digital ink-less fingerprint capture device, and include them as part of the child's file that is provided to the parent. The parents can use the record to give directly to authorities to instantly aid in an investigation.
One of our highest priorities is making sure parents know that their child's privacy is protected. For each child we fingerprint, no record is kept and we take no personal information from the child. We believe the best place for a child's information is with their parent or guardian to avoid concerns of others having access to their children's information.
At each event we also invite local groups and organizations to participate. We are also proud to work with the local police, fire, and sheriff's departments in these communities as well as youth organizations. A parents best resources for keeping their children healthy and safe can be right in their own back yard and our program helps spread awareness of this.

Hello! FreeOrion is a non commercial community game project that aims to create a new high quality 4X space strategy game. The project is already well under way, and at the moment version 0.4, which deals primarily with space combat, ship design and tech tree additions for both of the above, is being developed. Future stages include things like diplomacy, AI, ground combat, espionage, governments (SMAC-style) etc.
FreeOrion is being coded primarily with C++. Python is also used for AI scripting. The project uses modern C++ features, makes extensive use of the Boost C++ libraries, and uses the Ogre 3D library to handle rendering in the client. FreeOrion can be built on Windows, Linux or MacOSX. The project tries to keep the quality of the code to a very high level. This is necessary for an enterprise as big, complex and ambitious as FreeOrion.
The development speed of the project is mainly slowed down by the lack of dedicated and skillful programmers; if you are interested in working with talented individuals on an open source game project such as this and don`t mind learning new things, FreeOrion is a project for you.
You can find more info about the project from here:
Main Page - FreeOrionWiki
… and more info on how to contribute to the project can be found here:
How to Help - FreeOrionWiki
If you have any specific questions about some areas of the game or want to contribute to the project, please register to our forum:
FreeOrion • Index page
FreeOrion also has an IRC channel: #freeorion at irc.freenode.net.
This channel isn't always monitored however, so if you don't receive a reply to your post within a few minutes, please redirect your post/posts to the forums of the project.
A good summary of the game's current situation (note the date of this post) can be found here:
Interview with FreeOrion's Programming Lead: Zach Laine | Space Strategy Games Sector
And finally, here are some screenshots from the game (including a composite picture of preliminary space combat material):
Personally, ever since Master Of Orion 3 turned out to be a disappointment for me, I have hoped for a project like this. The core team behind the FreeOrion project isn`t very big, but consists of highly talented and motivated individuals that all share a common goal.

For more than 25 years, the Toys for Kids program has been a Christmas staple in the Hispanic community, a cause for glee for children who often otherwise would be bereft of gifts.
As the holiday season begins this year, however, a note of concern enters the voice of the Rev. Justino Almodovar of Iglesia Hispana de la Comunidad. Earlier this month, the leader of the 150-person congregation that has 70 children had nary a gift to give.
"We don't even have enough for our own kids," Almodovar said. "In the past, there was a lot of people that helped us."
The collected toys from several sources are donated to needy children as part of a community dinner just before Christmas.
Pitching in previous seasons were Toys for Tots, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Salvation Army. That largesse ended about three years ago, Almodovar said, and the ministry has depended upon other sources. A woman from Lakewood Ranch heard of the need last year and dropped by with some toys.
Almodovar's wife, Justina, has coordinated the program during most of its 27 years. She said the church benefitted from donations from Sarasota's Second Chance-Last Opportunity and founder April Glasco.
"She helped me out a lot through the years, even with clothes," Justina said. "This time of year, it is really rough and the ones who do have a job are having trouble making ends meet."
Glasco said Second Chance had to cut back itself and has not been able to donate as in previous years. She said, however, that there was a chance the grassroots organization could help out.
Communication to potential donors from the church has largely been through acting secretary Leticia Long. Long sent letters to previous donors, including retailers Publix and Walmart, car dealers, Realtors and the Sheriff's Office. She remains hopeful to get responses.
Before taking on her position of acting secretary, Long was involved wrapping gifts and helping out caring for babies on Sunday mornings. As the fourth of 13 children who grew up in Mexico, she recalled one Christmas when no gifts were given.
She is working hard so that does not happen this year.
"It's a sad situation for children when there's no gifts," Long said. "We celebrate the birth of Christ, but many don't understand that. It's Christmastime and we're going to get a gift."
Justina Almodovar summed up the situation faced by Iglesia Hispana de la Comunidad: "We cannot give out if we do not have."

LilyPadz silicone nursing pads are the revolutionary alternative to traditional nursing pads combining such unique features as: flexibility breathability invisibility "sticks-to-you-ability".
LilyPadz Silicone Nursing Padz provide the kind of protection every expectant and nursing mother needs. The special soft, flexible and non-absorbent silicone (the same material in most baby bottle nipples) conforms to your breast for a secure fit. This allows you to wear whatever you like with confidence--swimsuits, tight fitting shirts, or even go braless while sleeping!
How do they work?
LilyPadz's unique design works on the age-old principle that pressure on the nipple (like a finger) temporarily stops breast milk leakage, LilyPadz keep that pressure constant, even in the absence of a bra. So instead of absorbing your milk, LilyPadz prevents you from leaking altogether! LilyPadz are so thin you no longer have to worry about them showing through your shirt or bra. You can even wear them swimming! They can be used and re-used as much as you like.
How do you use them?
LilyPadz nursing pads are easy to use. Simply place the LilyPadz over your nipple with the self-adhesive side toward your skin. Press the center of the LilyPadz onto the nipple and smooth out over your breast. Just lift off the LilyPadz to nurse your baby and then re-apply after feeding
How many times can they be used?
Unlike other nursing pads, LilyPadz can be rinsed and reused over and over. Just wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and air-dry before re-applying. Since LilyPadz dry almost instantly, you have no downtime in the laundry like other reusable nursing pads. (It's recommended that you wash LilyPadz at least once a day or whenever they become soiled.) You can even sterilize your LilyPadz. Just place in boiling water for 3 – 5 minutes. With proper use and care, your LilyPadz should last for months.
They're talking about Lilypadz:
LilyPadz have been featured in several magazines including: BabyTalk Magazine, Pregnancy Magazine, ePregnancy Magazine and Baby and Children Magazine--find out what the excitement is about!

Everyone has heard about Tempur-Pedic mattresses. The famous Tempur-Pedic mattress is known for its design in the way that it curves and shapes around the sleeper's body. Tempur Pedic Queen Size Bed in Woodmead the brand carries different models and designs for different preferences. A lot of research has been put into these mattresses to ensure the quality and effectiveness of a great mattress. Because of the advanced research and design of the mattress, Tempurpedic Price Range the pricing on them can be much higher than most people expect to pay for a mattress. The key to being able to afford a Tempur-Pedic mattress is to look for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale.
Sales allow consumers to purchase these mattresses for lower than retail prices. This also makes it so people that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford it can afford a mattress that is comfortable and state of the art. The first step I would take in looking for a Tempur-Pedic mattress sale is by collecting store ads as they come in the mail. Furniture and mattress stores often mail out flyers and catalogues of their store items and display current or upcoming sales. These catalogues can prepare you to know about the sale and to also price shop based on the different store ads you receive.
bedside table
The first step in finding the most comfortable price for you for your mattress is by visiting a store and ensuring this is the mattress for you. You should also see which of the types of Tempur-Pedic mattresses you prefer, as well if you are interested in any of the extras they offer. Once you have decided to purchase this mattress, you should be prepared to wait for the best sale to come around. Do you research online, Tempurpedic Beds Near Me and then purchase the newspapers with the stores ads in them. Do some comparisons and when the best deal comes around – be sure to jump on it.
Tempur Pedic Queen Size Bed in Woodmead ?
A tempurpedic mattress is considered to be the best of the memory foam mattresses anywhere in the world. But, unfortunately because they are the best so their price reflects this. Because of this many people can not afford to purchase a tempurpedic mattress. However, in this article I will provide you with some ways of finding a tempurpedic mattress sale. Then hopefully you will get that good night sleep you have always wanted.
I suppose the first place any one should look when want to purchase a cheap tempurpedic mattress is on one of the many auction sites now set up on the web. Certainly places like eBay etc., will often have special deals going on such items and many companies prefer to sell in this way as it cuts out the middle man and also saves them the cost to having a showroom for people to view their products.
Another place to look for a tempurpedic mattress sale is in your local newspaper. Often there are companies who are having sales on for these items and you just go down on a particular day when the sale is on and purchase whatever you need. However, be careful when visiting these companies and make sure that what you are purchasing is a genuine tempurpedic mattress. But hopefully by using one of these methods you will find a tempurpedic mattress to suit your budget.
Beds and How to Track Down the Correct Model
You might like to consider that a town book store might possibly be an obvious place to obtain guidance aimed at bed products, internet availability might often cause us to ignore the numerous other bedding resources which are currently freely available to all of us, take advantage of such sources of good bed data, prime bed merchandise info may quite often be difficult to locate. If you are unable to get the interior design help you need from a bed supplier then possibly you are regrettably looking in the inappropriate place, for instance, lets pretend for a moment your subject of interest was antique iron brass beds, it would possibly be best for you to try a particular bedding directory. A trouble free experience when buying certain products like heavy duty bed frames or water bed sheet sets is an area that no consumer should ever take for granted, you should value the portals that offer suitable bed purchasing knowledge and record their info for the future. Now if you want info on camping air beds it might be better to make use of a bed site to make contact with a bed specialist, if you do this you will obviously obtain a small amount of bed guidance for free. Lets imagine you are looking for heavy duty bed frames or adjustable tempur pedic beds, it is clear that these type of beds may not be widely available on a wide selection of portals, you should really ensure that you employ your internet browser favorites function when you make this variety of bed focused research, your valuable info must always be treated with the utmost of care. A sizeable number of bed associated searches might buy have led you to a bed or bedding focused site, searches like "find heavy duty bed frames" or "reviews on adjustable electric beds ", the main secret with any home improvement directory is to go straight to the site menu, if you take this advice you should not be side tracked because of bed articles which are not connected to the bed you require. If you are obtaining something like a king iron bed it does not always mean purchasing from a bed or home furnishing targeted site, lets imagine you are living in Guam for instance, a bed directory should be able to give you relevant contact details of closely situated bed supplier who should hopefully be able to help you to find the bed you need. You see interior design is an area that covers a massive area of different bed products like heavy duty bed frames and adjustable tempur pedic beds, say you wanted expert help on a particular area of beds, lets suppose a product like metal beds, this might easily be sourced from a bed supplier.

5 Strange Things You Can Do to Keep Cool This Summer
Thanks to our recent heat wave, I've been researching ways to keep cool. I was surprised to find some very unusual ways to keep cool. These cool remedies range from lotions and herbal supplements, to mind power and eating habits. I plan on trying at least a few of these to help beat the sweltering heat.
Eating spicy foods that contain curry and chili peppers can cause you to sweat which helps to cool down your body.
Eat smaller meals and more of them. Smaller meals help your body create less metabolic heat when digesting, helping to keep your body cooler.
Try the herbal supplement called Black Cohosh. It works wonders for relieving hot flashes and night sweats in women going through "the change." It is thought to effect the hypothalamus gland which helps to regulate body temperature.
Use aloe vera gels or lotions instead of your usual moisturizers to help keep your skin cool.
Lay back, relax and picture a beautiful Montana winter day. The crisp chill in the air that takes your breath away as you step outside. Your body responds to these wishful daydreams and your body's temperature drops.

Today I'm sharing a tutorial for an embroidered corduroy scarf I designed for Coats and Clark. You can find the entire pattern and step-by-step directions with photos on the Coats blog here.
I used two prints from Denyse Schmidt's new line of corduroy from her Chicopee collection for FreeSpirit fabrics. It's a fine wale corduroy and it is amazingly soft with a great hand and drape. The scarf is really simple to construct and if you look closely you can see that I added some hand embroidery stitches, using the design of the print on the fabric as a guide.
I used Coats Dual Duty Craft & Button thread for the embroidery in coordinating colors and I really love the result. The thread is really thick and has a beautiful sheen that gives the finished scarf a lot of texture. And now, of course, I want to make a quilt out of corduroy with some hand stitching with the Craft & Button thread. One day!

Forums: Index → Watercooler → Changing the site name
Previously Pokémon Wiki was known as The Pokémon Encyclopedia I was thinking we could change our name back to Pokémon Encyclopedia to welcome in X and Y. The reasoning for this is because we can give the entire site a facelift and changing the site name is part of that. The URL will stay the same, but Pokémon Encyclopedia sounds better. I've changed the Facebook account to focus on the new name. So we might as well change to follow suit with the social networking information. The Twitter and the Tumblr have been re-opened under "Pokémon Encyclopedia", all that needs changing is the wiki name.

- Neutral: I am not too sure about changing the site name to Pokémon Encyclopedia?{{SUBST:User:King Marth 64/Sig}} 16:06, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Changing the name would allow the social networks to be synced with the wiki and it just sounds better. – Jazzi (talk) 16:34, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Support:The idea is sound in principle and would work very well I think.Markrogers (talk) 19:29, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose: Firstly, it sounds like the name has already been changed, and you can only change the site name once. Also, almost all wikis hosted under Wikia are named "The (xyz) Wiki", so why should the Pokémon wiki be any different. We would also need to re-design the wordmark and change a lot of links to the main page (for example, the Pokémon Wiki: namespace will move to The Pokémon Encyclopedia: namespace). Iggyvolz (Talk) 14:09, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Site name can be changed. Not all wikis follow that naming convention and they don't all have to be the same. The wordmark doesn't take long to change if you have five minutes. The links are an easy fix. There's really no problem to changing the name, it just takes a few minutes to change the wordmark and an hour or so to fix links. – Jazzi (talk) 15:32, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: "Please double check the spelling, and be sure of your correction, as we will not honor multiple requests" - Special:Contact/wiki-name-change Iggyvolz (Talk) 15:38, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: The name was changed back in 2009. The users then no longer edit now. There's a different frame now than there was then. I'm also not sure why you're in a fuss over this if you don't regularly edit here. – Jazzi (talk) 00:53, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: I have asked in the community skype channel, where staff members can answer questions, and the response was as followed: It is possible, but the request would need to come from an Admin or point us to a community consensus for the site name changing back. Send either to S:C. – Jazzi (talk) 14:51, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Giving this forum a little nudge. With the information I was given from the community skype channel, that means that we can get a wiki rename once again. So if I got a bit more input, meaning if there were more supports, I'd be able to run this request through and hopefully get the name changed. – Jazzi (talk) 19:15, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Support: Since Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr have already changed, it's better to keep it consistent. All this is just a part of revitalizing the wiki into something better and I support the change. Bermuda • Triangle • 19:45,7/12/2013
- Oppose:: Hi, I may be a former contributor here but I still do look at the site for information and its following so-to-speak, and have on multiple occasions tried coming back after being shooed away from the administration, but nevertheless, I have finally made my first re-appearance on Wikia since my incident in mid-June...but anyway, as even a person who looks at the wiki's content, as with anyone else on Wikia for that matter, I should be entitled to even a brief say of input here. I noticed this in one of my tabs and was all "no...just...no." Like, really? This is not a good idea at all. For one, the name sounds more similar to your actual competition Bulbapedia, and quite frankly, the current name fits much better with Wikia's consistency. Second, the social network pages should have come second not done ahead just to get support, you know after a discussion was reached... In addition, the name was changed before and was changed to what it is now for good reason; why change it back just because "those people don't edit anymore?" That's like changing the name of a country just because the founding fathers are long dead. Changing the name doesn't actually help the community, and as someone who actually uses the site, I think that changing the name would just cause confusion. Just my two cents. The Puzzle Master 20:32, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose:I have stayed away from this because of the simple fact that I hate the proposed name but I couldn't find any good reason other than that. I also thought that the social media had been originally like that and not changed before it was even proposed. But now I have reread this and realised that they were changed before the site name change was even proposed. I am bewildered why this would happen seeming as the only reason you have asked for the site name change is because of the social media... Which was changed clearly just so the site could be. Anyway even if the social media was like that beforehand, whats the point in changing the wiki name? Nobody uses the social media, it has not been updated in just under a year and even if it was why would that mean the site should change? The social media is already synced with the wiki. Are there links to the social media site pages on this wiki? Yes. Are there links from the social media pages to this wiki? Yes. Rainbow Shifter 18:59, July 26, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Actually the "only reason I have asked for the site name to change is because of the social media" is false. The reason I want the site name changed is because the site name currently has nothing to it. There is literally nothing remarkable about the current site name. The reason the social media was changed before hand was because the previous ones went on the fritz and I no longer had access to them, also, either way I forgot the password for the new ones so... As I stated, "The Pokémon Encyclopedia" is what Pokémon Wiki was originally named. Yes, it's not that much of a name either, but the point I'm trying to make is we need something that will stick out more. I want to give Pokémon Wiki more depth, currently we're black and white, there isn't much to us because we have competition who are better than us. I would like for Pokémon Wiki to get heavily remodled since we have X and Y coming out. I would like a new site name, and as shown by the votes, so would three other people. There are two opposes, since Wattz no longer edits here and he and I were told to stay off of each other's homewiki. So there are four supports to two opposes. A few other names, that are more focused on elements of the series, are The Safari Zone and Pokémon Central. Honestly, the site name now is bland. – Jazzi (talk) 20:38, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Census Records for Utah
This entry was originally written by Patricia Lyn Scott, CA and Gary Topping Ph.D. for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed'1850(1), 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930
• Soundex'1880, 1900
Mortality Schedules
• 1850(1), 1860, 1870, 1880
Union Veterans Schedules
• 1890
The 1850 census for Utah Territory was taken in 1851. It has been reproduced alphabetically within each county in Annie Walker Burns, First Families of Utah, As Taken from the 1850 Census of Utah (Washington, D.C.: the author, 1949). The index in this volume is to this transcription of the census records and not to the original records. A second index, The Genealogical Society of Utah's Index to Utah 1851 Census (Salt Lake City: the author, 1950) refers to the original entry in the federal returns and is indexed by surname. Mortality schedules are available on microfilm through the FHL.
In addition to the AISI (see page 3) indexes for Utah and the online census indexes through subscription databases (see page 17), there is a collapsed index covering the first three federal censuses for the territory:
- Kearl, J. R., Clayne L. Pope, and Larry T. Wimmer. Index to the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Censuses of Utah. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1981.
There are fragments of what could be construed as territorial or state censuses from 1852, 1856, 1872, and 1896 with enumerations derived from tax lists. An example is the 1852 Bishops Reports, listing LDS heads of households in each LDS ward, available on microfilm with an index through FHL.
Of these, only the 1856 list, originally developed in an attempt to apply for statehood, has been indexed and published by AISI and Bryan Lee Dilts in 1856 Utah Census Index (Salt Lake City: Index Publishing, 1983). The accuracy of the original enumeration has been questioned, however, since it appears to contain names of deceased persons or members of the LDS Church who were not yet in the territory.

Well, I know I said I wouldn't ever attempt RTK10, but the game proved me wrong. As stated in other topics, after playing 9, 10, 11, and 12 fairly extensively, I didn't like 11 or 12 very much and am currently enjoying 10 and 9.
Now that I got my hands on the PC version, I've decided to build upon the existing translation and improve it. There are plenty of officers still untranslated (assuming the one on kongming.net is the actual final version released) and I may take a shot at cleaning things up.
I've learned a lot from my failed attempt at RTK11. First off, I am not going to promise an attempt at a 100% full translation. For now, I'm planning on translating the remaining officers and cleaning up some of the stuff. This also means trying to get stuff to match the English PS2 version wherever I can. I know this will be a bigger project, and I'm also not going to rely on anyone else to help me in order to avoid the situation previously where my attempts crashed in part because of Lezard leaving the site and me getting demoralized. This time, I am taking 100% responsibility for any work done, and I will release improvements as I finish them instead of trying to collect all stuff at once.
With that said, my first order of business will be translating the untranslated officers and nothing more. From there, we'll see.
Here is the most recent patch!

Jack and Diane are two teenage girls living in New York. They meet. They fall in love when Jack is drawn to Diane's endearing credulity. Diane, however is leaving town, which makes Jack try to keep her at an emotional distance. Let's see...I feel like I'm forgetting something really important about this movie. Ah, that's right — Diane starts having some really fucked up werewolf dreams, which, if they're anything like the mutant Nazi werewolf sequence in An American Werewolf in London, should prove simultaneously hilarious and horrifying.

InspiringAfter the 9/11 attacks in America, needless to say the country was on edge...U2 put us at ease, if only for a night with one of the most comforting and compassionate performances I've ever seen. I had seen U2 at least 10 time before this night, and I've seen them probably 5 or 6 more times since, but this is one of the most special shows in a long history of incredible performances. THANK YOU!

A few years have past since the last PKRA event was hosted in Paros, but this year will prove to be an impressive comeback and perhaps a more familiar destination in the pro tour lineup for racing as well as freestyle in the years to come.
Registration began at 9:00 am this morning under mostly overcast skies and temperatures averaging 21 degrees. The registration process lasted a little longer than planned in hopes that more female competitors would participate.
Acting as the new PKRA Press Secretary, how better to get an up close and personal view of what goes on in the exciting world of kite racing than to actually participate. I nervously signed up for the race in hopes of giving the only registered female a riding companion. Shortly after my inscription four local Greek women registered making a total of 6 female racers and 17 men.
The mandatory riders meeting commenced at 12:00 pm with the first possible start at 1:00 pm. Riders rushed out on the water with their 9-11m kites, eagerly anticipating the signal to indulge in the nearly perfect wind conditions.
Race director Olaf Van Tol and his crew set a short 7-minute course for Day 1, but promises he has a few magic tricks up his sleeve to set some pretty interesting and challenging courses for the following days.
This was certainly not a challenging day for French racer Bruno Sroka (Cabrinha) who dominated all four races but was closely shadowed by German rider Dirk Hanel (North) whom would nearly overtake Sroka on a number of occasions. It was a constant neck-to-neck battle between these two very powerful riders. North rider, Pierre Romain (FRA) who finished 4th in the first race of the day, raced his way to the 3rd overall position.
It was a winning day for BEST rider, Kristin Boese (GER) who effortlessly finished all four races defeating all challengers. Greek riders, Felicia Constandopoulou (BEST) and Maria Kampa (Naish) fought between the second and third position, each totaling 7 points.
Tomorrow's riders meeting is set for 11:00 am with the first possible start at 11:30 am. Paros PKRA World Cup 2009 is sponsored in part by PPF Services, Blu Café, Greece Tourism, Paros Kite and x-dream.

Colorado's trails are great reasons to get outdoors
By Lise Aangeenbrug
Guest Commentary
June 1 was National Trails Day and the event gave me a chance to consider the many benefits that trails provide in Colorado. It's no secret Coloradans love trails. Trails for biking along the South Platte. Trails for hiking on open spaces. Trails that connect us to Cherry Creek and Chatfield State Parks. Trails near neighborhoods that allow us to commute to work or our kids to bike to school. The image of living in Colorado includes the notion that we can all walk out our back doors onto a hiking or biking trail.
Each year, Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) teams up with the State Trails Program to award grants for trails across the state. And, in 2014, GOCO will provide an additional $5 million in lottery funds for trail grants to local governments. Since 1994, GOCO funds have helped create or enhance more than 700 miles of trails.
Whether it is a trail that they have to drive to or can walk to from their home, Coloradans cherish their trails that open up the great outdoors to them and their families year-round. These trails can be used by pedestrians, bicyclists, equestrians, snowshoers, cross-country skiers and people of all abilities and typically do not cost anything to use.

Craigslist: "For Sale: Vancouver City Hall. Cash only, please. No Questions asked."Monday, April 6th, 2015
Ha ha. Sadly, this Craigslist ad was quickly taken down, but not before lots of us took screenshots and copied the text (a friend uploaded it to her Facebook).
The ad only lasted only 23 hours. Someone must have flagged it. Considering that it only went up on Easter Sunday and was taken down Easter Monday, some City Hall employee or Vision Vancouver party functionary must be pretty vigilant.

one would disagree that education is critical for our success as a community,
state and nation. With such a foundational system for
society it is not surprising that we have seen so much work on "How we measure up?"
There is no lack of measures, be it a child's report card, school and district report card, standardized student assessments, surveys, performance and student growth teacher evaluations to the new Kindergarten Individual Development Survey. We use all these data to help us and our organizations improve. But what we do not measure is how much our educators give of themselves for others. For the past two years, the Regional Office of Education has made a commitment to reaching all learners. We are amazed at the expanding needs of our students but equally amazed at the services that our schools continue to provide
What services does our office provide?

As if the most recent news of a Married... With Children and a Xena: Warrior Princess reboot weren't enough, the unstoppable resurrection of the 1990s continues with Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Apparently, even Will Smith is on board for this monument to aged nostalgia.
TV Line says they have the exclusive story.
According to multiple sources, Smith's production shingle, Overbrook Entertainment, is in the very early stages of developing a present-day family comedy that puts a new spin on the fish-out-of-water tale while maintaining the spirit of Fresh Prince. (An official longline is still being hammered out.) I'm told a pitch is being finalized now and Overbrook will begin shopping it around in the coming weeks. Smith would serve as an EP alongside his Overbrook producing partners James Lassiter, Caleeb Pinkett and Jada Pinkett-Smith.
Will Smith has hit a bit of a rough patch in his career as of late. Besides Men in Black III, he hasn't had a movie critics enjoyed in at least eight years.
One things for sure, between this, Coach, Full House, Twin Peaks and next January's The X Files, the 1990s are sticking around.

Irked driver hassles cyclists in Longmont
A leisurely ride near Longmont last Sunday turned ugly for veteran cyclist Dirk Friel when a driver of a Ford Explorer – Colorado license plate 893 EKG – sat behind Friel and his buddy, laying on the horn. The irate driver, a male, is clearly visible in the video as he blasts his horn for several minutes while other cars pass him as he cruises behind the cyclists.
Colorado State Patrol has been notified and is apparently on the case. Friel posted to his Twitter feed yesterday that other cyclists have reported similar encounters with the exceptionally horn-y, buzz killing Sunday driver.
Updates to follow.
Update #1: Colorado State Trooper Nate Reid said a Boulder-based state trooper is meeting with the cyclists today and will make contact with the driver, who has never been reported to the state patrol before. The trooper will also contact the Boulder County District Attorney's Office and, Reid said, "hopefully get charges filed."

LOS ANGELES (Sports Network) – The Dwight Howard saga is finally about to end, according to reports.
A four-team deal that will send the disgruntled Orlando Magic center to the Los Angeles Lakers will reportedly be processed Friday morning.
The trade will send the six-time All-Star to the Lakers, who will deal center Andrew Bynym to the Sixers. The Denver Nuggets will deal forward Al Harrington and guard Arron Afflalo to the Magic. Philadelphia will ship small forward Andre Iguodala to Denver and center Nikola Vucevic and first-round draft pick Moe Harkless to the Magic, according to the Los Angeles Times. The Magic will send guard Jason Richardson to the 76ers.
Orlando would also receive a protected first-round pick from Los Angeles, Denver and Philadelphia.
The newspaper reports before the deal can be finished, the NBA will have a conference call between the general managers of the four teams. The league must then approve of the trade.
Howard, who has been the focus of trade rumors for the past two years, would join Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash in Los Angeles. Howard 20.6 points and 14.5 rebounds last season and made his sixth All-Star team. An eight-year veteran, Howard is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year. He reached the NBA Finals in 2009 and lost to the Lakers in five games.
There's no guarantee Howard will remain with the Lakers or Bynym with the Sixers after the 2012-13 season, as both players are entering the final year of their contracts. Howard's due $19.26 million, and Bynum $16.47 million.
Bynum, 24, averaged career-highs with 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds in 60 games last season after battling a variety of injuries throughout the first six seasons of his career.
The 28-year-old Iguodala averaged 12.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 62 games for the 76ers last year.
Richardson, 31, averaged 11.6 points for Orlando last season. In 11 seasons with Golden State, Charlotte, Phoenix and Orlando, Richardson averaged 17.5 points.
Afflalo, who signed a five-year, $43 million contract prior to last season, averaged a career-high 15.2 points for Denver last season.
The 32-year-old Harrington put up 14.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last season in Denver.
Vucevic averaged 5.5 points and 4.8 rebounds in 51 games in his rookie campaign with the Sixers.

Weather conditions that at least temporarily calmed allowed firefighters to gain ground early Wednesday on a pair of wildfires that forced thousands of residents to leave their homes.
Evacuation orders were lifted for all of the more than 20,000 residents in and around San Diego on Tuesday night just a few hours after they were called, and all but a handful of those in 1,200 homes and businesses told to evacuate in Santa Barbara County had been allowed to return.
The 1,550-acre San Diego-area blaze was 25 percent contained and it was hoped that number would increase to 50 percent by day's end, said San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesman Lee Swanson.
The Santa Barbara County blaze, 250 miles to the northwest, was 50 percent contained Wednesday morning. Firefighters also adjusted its size downward to 600 acres.
Neither blaze caused any home damage or injuries, but another hot, dry and gusty day was expected as California baked in a spring heat wave as high pressure sat over the West.
Record-high temperatures were forecast for San Diego County as were winds of 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, which could complicate efforts.
"It's starting to pick up already," Swanson said of the winds. "But our objective is to get to 50 percent containment or more by this evening."
Poway Unified School District reopened schools Wednesday a day after flames erupted in the fire-prone Rancho Bernardo area of the city, driven by hot, dry Santa Ana winds and forced students to be evacuated from two elementary schools and two high schools.
By late afternoon, the flames ripped through canyons to approach expensive homes and new subdivisions on the ridges. It spread to Rancho Santa Fe, one of the nation's wealthiest communities, known for its multimillion-dollar homes, golfing and horseback riding.
Black and gray smoke billowed over northern San Diego, filled with whirling ash and embers that created small spot fires. Flames crept within yards of some homes before firefighters doused them.
On one road, people on bicycles and skateboards stopped to watch as a plane dumped water on flames a half-mile away.
The city of San Diego issued between 16,000 and 17,000 evacuation orders, according to San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore. Gore said the Sheriff's Department issued an additional 5,000 evacuation orders outside city limits. All the evacuations were called off by around 9 p.m.
Meanwhile, in the Santa Barbara County community of Lompoc, heavy brush and downed power lines provided special challenges for firefighters, said David Sadecki of the county Fire Department.
Some 689 firefighters remained on scene overnight building lines around the blaze.
"We hope the containment lines hold today," Sadecki said. "We want them to be wind-tested."

Sally Jane Vintage in Little Thing Magazine
And the rest of the magazine is just as nice! Of course I can't read a word of it but with so many beautiful photos to look at, that's hardly an issue. Here's a bit of the Q&A that I sent in (I'm not sure how much of this they actually used):
Can you give us a brief intro of yourself, background?
My name is Jennifer and I live in Pennsylvania. I am originally from Alabama and also lived in Los Angeles for three years. I started Sally Jane Vintage about a year and a half ago while I was living in LA.
How has your day been so far?
Right now it's pouring down snow outside so I'm bundled up on the couch with my cat. The fire is going in the fireplace and I'm drinking hot cocoa. So far it's good!
How would you describe your style?
My style is eclectic and nostalgic. I love mixing vintage pieces with new pieces. It seems I have two sides - one very delicate and feminine and the other a bit of a tom-boy.
If people could take one feeling or message from your styling, what would you want it to be?
Wear what you love no matter the trends. Just be yourself and have confidence and you'll look good in anything. Cliche, but so true!
How do you normally come up with a concept for a style?
I take inspiration from everything around me. It may be a photo on a street style blog or a character in a movie or just colors in a painting.
Who is your favourite designer?
Hands down Emma Fletcher for Lyell. I could live in her clothes everyday.
Can you describe the so-called FASHION in your definition?
There's a quote that says "fashion fades, style is eternal". A personal style is always more appealing than what is "in fashion".
What types of material interest you most?
As much as I am pining for spring at the moment my favorite materials are ones worn in colder weather. Something about tweeds and wools and plaids always make me feel nostalgic.
Name some items you like to collect in life?
I'm a collector by nature. Vintage dresses for one thing! I also collect anything with birds on it, vintage sewing supplies and vintage cameras. I would like to start collecting vintage luggage.
What's your favorite little things?
My favorite little things are my cats! I have a rescued stray named Jack that only has one eye and one ear and he's my constant companion.

I saw these super cute cupcakes in a jar and had to share! This would be a great gift or treat for someone, and perfect for July 4th! Enjoy 🙂
Posted: 19 Jun 2011 05:52 PM PDT
Happy Summer everyone! It's Glory of Glorious Treats here with an easy and eye catching dessert perfect for the 4th of July. I've been a bit obsessed with cute desserts in a jar recently, and thought the 4th of July would be the perfect opportunity to make one. I baked up a batch of vanilla cupcakes (using my favorite box mix), layered some delicious Cream Cheese Frosting and dressed them up the great set of Free Memorial Day Printables designed by The TomKat Studio. (I simply using 3 of the 4 designs they work perfectly for the 4th of July).
~ How to make 4th of July Cupcakes in a Jar ~
You'll need…
Jars (I used 1/2 pint canning jars)
1 Vanilla cake mix (from a box or from scratch)
Frosting (from a can or homemade)
Tomkat Studio Memorial Day Free Printables (use 3 of the 4 designs)
Prepare the batter of your favorite vanilla cake (from a box or from scratch). Divide the batter as equally as possible into three bowls. Color one bowl of batter red, and one blue (using concentrated gel coloring). The final bowl will remain uncolored. Prepare 3- 9″ cake pans (round or square) by greasing the pan lightly (with butter or oil), and lining with parchment paper. Fill pans with batter. Bake cakes according to recipe instructions.
Once baked, cool cakes completely. Remove cakes from pans, and level cakes as needed. Then, use a 2″ round cookie cutter to cut out circles of cake. Prepare a batch of frosting (I used my Cream Cheese Frosting) and fill a piping bag fitted with a large round or star tip. Layer cake and frosting as shown above (blue cake, a little frosting, white cake, a little frosting, red cake, a nice swirl of frosting). Top with festive sprinkles.
*Note- the cupcakes in a jar could also be make using cupcakes, cut in half, then used as directed above.
Dress up your cupcakes in a jar with ribbon and The Tomkat Studio Free Printable Memorial Day designs. Use the printables as cupcake toppers (if you are serving the cupcake jars open), or as a finishing label, if you plan to use the cupcake jars as favors or gifts.

How many squares does the diagonal pass through? Develop a rule to determine the number of squares a diagonal passes through for any rectangle of any size.
I think I'm going to keep it in my back pocket for a day when I need to kill half a period. It might be nice for the first day of school if you like that sort of thing. I don't think I've seen it before. It was sent to me by Øistein Gjøvik - he has a post about it that includes access to a Geogebra file. (One benefit of blogging I would have never predicted: a cool Norwegian sends awesome math problems to my inbox.)
I have been on a bit of a Sketchpad bender since we used it at PCMI, so here's a sketch I made.
I am torn about giving guidance about posting solutions in the comments. I have one way to think about it that works, but I'm sure there are more and I really want to hear them. On the other hand, I don't want to spoil anyone's fun. So maybe if you want to work on it, resist looking at comments?
Another thing I'd like to hear about is, do you see this fitting into a curriculum? Or is it just a nice problem that doesn't have a home in a unit of study?

Last week, we learned about the time Boomer Esiason and Matt Millen got contact high while doing a radio broadcast for a Monday Night Football game in December 2000. Yesterday, Boomer shared some of his marijuana-infused commentary from that game on his daily radio show.
Man, Millen and Esiason sounded way more high than I was expecting them to. I mean, they were definitely less high than just giggly at the fact that some guy near their broadcast booth was blowing weed smoke in their faces, but I think we've all learned a valuable lesson here: football broadcasts can be greatly improved when a little weed is added to the mix.

Second ingredient is a named meat product
Inadequate meat content, some low quality grain, controversial filler
This product is a veterinary diet, but is not indicated for the treatment of disease. Our comments relate solely to our opinion of the ingredients used in this product and are made on equal footing with any other product not marketed under a 'veterinary diet' label.
The main ingredients in this food are grains. Even if of good quality, grains are not a natural foodstuff for a canine, and dog foods should be based on meat. The first (and only) meat product in the food does not occur until second on the ingredient list. It is a named meat product in meal form, but we have serious doubts that this product has adequate meat content.
The primary grains in the food are rice, corn and wheat. Rice is a decent quality grain, but the use of wheat and corn is a negative. Corn is a low quality grain in dog food products, that is difficult to digest and commonly associated with food allergy problems. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allegies in dogs. In gluten form, this ingredient is a low quality filler. It is the dried residue from wheat after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the grain leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. Pea fiber is further filler.
Overall, this product appears to be primarily a collection of low quality grain fragments, with precious little meat content.

Police have completed their examination of the Deputy City Manager Karen Pollard's cell phone, and found no evidence pertaining to the hit-and-run case involving her husband.
ROCHESTER — Police have completed their examination of the Deputy City Manager Karen Pollard's cell phone, and found no evidence pertaining to the hit-and-run case involving her husband.
Police had obtained a search warrant for the city-owned phone last month, after Karen's husband, Leslie, was charged with felony hit-and-run and misdemeanor DWI in connection with a Dec. 29 accident involving a pedestrian.
During the police investigation of the accident — and after Leslie Pollard's arrest — Karen used the cell phone to send text messages to Police Chief Michael Allen asking for help, police say. Police examined the phone because they believed Karen Pollard might have communicated to others about the incident and the phone might have contained evidence in the felony case.
But Police Capt. Paul Toussaint said Friday the phone contains no evidence pertaining to her husband's felony charge.
The Dec. 29 accident occurred on Lowell Street while Karen Pollard was reportedly in the passenger's seat. Police claim Leslie Pollard, who was driving the Ford Taurus, struck a 28-year-old woman and fled the scene. A short time later, Karen called police from home and said her husband may have hit something, according to a police affidavit.
The female pedestrian, who suffered a broken collar bone in the accident, had been drinking at Club Victoire with the Pollards and two other friends the night of the accident, according to a police affidavit.
Toussaint said the Pollards and the female pedestrian were at least acquainted, and had been at the club together during at least some of the evening before the accident happened.
A police affidavit by Police Detective Christopher Mangum states the pedestrian had left Club Victoire with two men, who were also mutual friends of Pollards and who were planning on driving to the Pollards' home on Hemlock Street after leaving the club. On the way to the Pollards' home, however, their vehicle broke down near a church on Lowell Street, and at that point, the female pedestrian decided to walk home instead. It was after she started walking that she was struck by the vehicle Leslie Pollard was allegedly driving.
Meanwhile, the two men got their vehicle started, and arrived at the Pollards' home. A few minutes later, the Pollards arrived and Leslie Pollard told the two men he may have hit something, according what one of the men said in the affidavit. Leslie Pollard then told his daughter to go to the road to see what happened.
The Pollards' home is located less than a mile from where the accident occurred.
This week the case against Leslie Pollard was bound over to Strafford County Superior Court after a district court judge found enough probable cause to charge him with the felony conduct after an accident. The county attorney's office is now preparing to present the felony case to a grand jury, which will consider indicting him on that charge. The misdemeanor DWI charge, which was brought because police claim Leslie Pollard was intoxicated at the time of the accident, will also be prosecuted in the county superior court because the charge is part of the same case.
No charges have been brought against Karen Pollard.
Leslie Pollard is free on personal recognizance bail.

Hi Archinect!
We have one week left before our final review and the plan is to finish my model today. Actually, the plan was to finish it yesterday, but this morning I realized that this was unrealistic.
If I can finish the model today, then I'll have six days for drawings, which is still tight because I totally haven't started them yet. [Marion, Michael, if you're reading this, that was obviously just a joke--everything is under control.]
Hopefully I'll be able to post pictures of the finished model soon...
thanks for reading!
Allllllright it's Friday and I'm done the model, just two days behind schedule....
Photos next week!
:P Model, renderings, diagrams done. One day to do all my drawings.
However, we got our final critic list yesterday. I'll be presenting around 2:30 pm but the review runs from 10:30 am to 6pm. Feel free to stop by this or other reviews in Gund Hall tomorrow if your'e in the neighborhood!
