Oral Care
Protect your smile with proper oral hygiene. Sam's Club® offers a wide collection of oral care items that are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, including toothbrushes, mouthwash, toothpaste and floss.
Manual & Electric Toothbrushes
Manual and electric toothbrushes are a great way to keep your teeth clean. Both options are equally effective, but an electric toothbrush might be a better choice if you wear braces, have misaligned teeth or struggle with joint pains that make it difficult for you to use your hands. They're also a popular pick with the elderly or physically challenged. Some of the electric toothbrushes at Sam's Club deliver more than 3,000 strokes per minute (10 times more than a manual toothbrush), making them a great choice for combating stains.
Floss & Toothpaste
Dentists place a premium on regular flossing. Dental floss may be waxed or unwaxed depending on the brand. Wax floss comes with a coating (sometimes flavored) that makes it more resilient and easier to get into teeth. Unwaxed floss is thinner, so it's easier to maneuver.
Always check the ingredients before buying toothpaste. The product should be safe and non-irritating. Consult with your dentist if you're not sure what the best choices are. Most oral care experts recommend that people use toothpaste with fluoride. It also helps if the toothpaste contains a tartar-fighting and enamel-protecting formula.
Mouthwash & Water Picks
Rinsing with mouthwash helps keep your breath fresh and wards off potential gum diseases. At Sam's Club, you'll find a variety of options, including antibacterial mouthwashes, natural mouthwashes and fluoride-enriched rinses. Water picks are effective tools in removing trapped food particles. They're a particularly good choice for people with braces. Mouthwashes and water picks aren't designed as a replacement for brushing and flossing. They're designed to complement them. Brushing and flossing are the only sure ways of combating plaque.
Whitening Products
Everyone enjoys a lovely white smile, and Sam's Club is home to the best teeth-whitening products that can help you achieve this. You'll find everything from daily whitening toothpaste to whitening kits. Whatever your oral care needs, we can help.

A big thank you for latex2e.vdf.
Now I would like to construct an amslatex.vdf file.
First, I would like to try a strategy, similar to the on used to construct the larex2e.vdf file.
In other words, look for an amslatex manual in the Miktex 2.9 documentation. I found two files which are good candidates.
My problem is that they are in .pdf format. So, my question is, can you extract latex commands from a .pdf file ?

Post subject: Opera Printing Workaround & FoxyFun extra_distros
Subject description: Too lazy to post 2 replies
Hi all,
I rarely print from any browser, and have never tried from Opera. And now that someone's mentioned it, I recall a problem with html files saved using Opera. I'll keep TheAsterisk!'s MHTML suggestion in mind. Thanks.
But although Opera is my first choice of browsers, one of the reasons I retain/install Firefox is that it has a "Save as PDF" Addon. So what I usually do when I run across a webpage I want to keep is open Firefox, copy the webpage address from Opera into Firefox's Address Bar, open to that page in Firefox, and use "Save as PDF." I guess you could alternatively use Firefox's superior printing facility.
During the last couple of days I've been experimenting with DaveS's Foxyfun, with a view toward developing an extra_distro's Pet if DaveS didn't.
The result was that I have five Puplets using, via symlinks, the same .mozilla folder so that there's only one set of setting preferences, addons and bookmarks. Creating an extra_distro's pet appears to be fairly easy. Except for one thing. I began experimenting before my over-indulgence in New Year's consumption had dissipated.('
') Not realizing that DaveS had included a .mozilla folder within /mnt/home/browsers --well it was a hidden('
') -- I created a different .mozilla folder to which all appropriate symlinks pointed.
The best thing for me to do is start from scratch. But now that I have everything working well on my test-Linux computer, I am reluctant to use it for this experiment: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." So I installed Playdaz's Lupu-519 and 01micko's sPup-053 on my "main computer" --the one I rarely get to use-- and have installed Foxyfun pet in Lupu-519, with the view to developing the extra-distos pet on sPup-053. Neither of those Puplets have Firefox pre-installed, making it easier to track modifications.
@ DaveS, a couple of questions and recommendations:
FoxyFun is your pet, and you're more experienced than I in this area, especially as you've developed the Opera_extra_distros pet, So if you intend to develop a FoxyFun_extra_distros pet in the near future, I'll defer to your expertise and assist in any way that I can. But as I mentioned before I really think this is an important project worth pursuing. For those of us who run or test various Puplets, when it comes to internet browsers --as they'll be put to frequent use regardless of which Puplet we boots into-- mnt/home program-folders are far superior to SFSes. So let me know if you have time in the near future to work on the extra_distro's pet, especially if you think my SECOND and THIRD suggestions regarding the modifications of the FoxyFun pet are possible and worth pursuing. Those are far beyond my ability.
1) As it is now constructed, installing FoxyFun creates the "browsers" folder in mnt/home. The name is too generic. I'd recommend something like "Foxyfun" or "FoxyHome."
2) As it is now constructed, FoxyFun creates the .mozilla folder in the "browsers" folder. Would it be possible to create a FFoxConfig Folder on mnt/home, and move .mozilla into it? See my discussion a couple posts back regarding the ease with which Iron can be upgraded when the "config" files are kept separate.
3) As it is now constructed, FoxyFun creates a symlink in / to its .mozilla folder. Would it be possible to change the name of the .mozilla folder and the symlink, or at least the name of the symlink? As you can't have a file and a symlink or two symlinks with the same name, in the same folder, I suspect problems would arise if someone had or subsequently installed another Firefox and wanted to keep both, or wanted to test a Firefox SFS. And doesn't Seamonkey also use the .mozilla folder? Or maybe it would be possible to have the symlink other than in /?
4) To distinguish it from other firefox installations, the desktop files should have a unique name, such as FoxyFun. So that it not become lost at the bottom of the Internet Submenu, the first letter should continue to be capitalized.
5) Its icon should be recognizable as, but distinct from, that of Firefox. I've attached one I found on the web that you might consider.
I installed Foxyfun on the Lupu-519 mentioned above. It opened to the index page of this forum. Did you set that as its "Home Page?"

Mike.. the icon is great thanks. If you want to do firefox@mnthome, please, go for it. BUT. It is fraught with problems, some of which I will outline in a moment.
With regard to having a container folder at mnt/home which I called browsers, the thinking behind that was simply to keep everything in one place. On my own system, that folder contains firefox, seamonkey, and opera, along with all their profiles. this was how I saw the project progressing, but it is only my personal take.
Now on to firefox. Two HUGE problems. First, it requires dbus, which some puppies have, some do not. Sure, there are versions compiled which do not need dbus, but using one of those will break the autoupdate function. Secondly, the folder .mozilla. This folder cant be re-named. It is created by Mozilla products if it does not exist, when they first run, and is where the user preferences, extensions etc. are stored. Some Puppies have it, some do not. The .mozilla folder is set up at present to contain subfolders named for each program, seamonkey, firefox etc., so you need to know in advance what is there and what is not. The last thing we want to do is overwrite someones carefully constructed profile folder.
Opera was simpler, mainly because it does not need any extra deps, but also because fewer people have it installed, and those that do tend to be at the tech savvy end anyway.

Post subject: Firefox extra distros & Opera mnt/home
Subject description: Accept the things you cannot change
Hi DaveS,
Your explanation clarified that (a) the .mozilla folder could not be moved from / or renamed and (b) some derivatives --not already having, or having a different version of-- dbus might require it. Additionally, I had found that if the firefox script (found in /mnt/home/browsers/firefox was run on a "virgin" system it would create the .mozilla folder in /.
After your explanation of the "browsers" folder in mnt/home I realized it was a good idea. Firstly, it caused me to reconsider my concern about ease of upgrading. My best guess from experience is that an upgrade of Firefox via Firefox's upgrade will take place regardless of whether Firefox is located within or outside of the SaveFile & OS. And even upgrading by overwriting a Pet will, most likely, not effect the .mozilla folder housing bookmarks and preferences. Placing Seamonkey in the "browser" folder eliminates the problem of trying to have two .mozilla folders, and even if left in the SaveFile-OS, it will still find its settings.
I doubt that there is a satisfactory solution to the dbus concern now that Puppy no longer employs dotpups. Dotpups could run "pre-install" scripts to test conditions and exit, with a message, if they weren't found. As it stands, the best we could do is provide a warning, perhaps a script to test for the pre-existence of a compatible dbus, and a separate pet where possible. Those who "fail" the test may have to resort to standard pets or SFSes.
Edit: pfind will reveal absence/presence of dbus and its libs.
Having accepted what couldn't be changed, and after muddling around with alternatives (runz & portable under wine) for over an hour, and because I was familiar with how you setup Opera_mnt_home, the question suddenly dawned on me: What would happen if the firefox script were run from My-Applications and found a .mozilla already in /? So I symlinked the .mozilla folder from /mnt/home/browsers/ into / and the firefox script from /mnt/home/browsers/firefox into My-Applications/bin, and clicked the latter symlink. Firefox ran successfully. An examination of / revealed that it had not overridden the .mozilla symlink. Rather, it followed it finding .mozilla in "browser."
I have since successfully imported bookmarks and added Addons. Placing the blue-firefox.png in My-Applications/bin, I then went into /usr/share/applications, opened Opera.desktop as text, saved it as FoxyFox.desktop, edited as appropriate, but especially to point to the firefox script symlink and png in My-Applications/bin as its exec and icon.
The attached snapshot was taken when I started this post.
Other than as mentioned above, the only other limitations I can see is that people having a pre-existing Firefox and/or Seamonkey would have to --before starting FoxyFox-- move their existing .mozilla from / to "browsers" and symlink it back. And of course, copy it elsewhere if they decide to delete the "browsers" folder.
Which brings me back to Opera_mnt_home. Unless I screwed it up in my experimenting, the pet now installs to its own "Opera" folder. In the interest of consistency, perhaps it should install to "browsers." I'm certain that Iron could be so configured, and think if anyone wanted to create a Seamonkey_mnt_home pet, it could be, as well. Consistency makes life easier.

works fine without any stuff like .pet or .sfs
Extract the files in a new directory on /mnt/home
go to the new files created
click on "opera".
That's all.
If you want an
go to
/mnt/home/your opera-xxx directory/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/opera-browser.png
If you have saved your previous
somewhere, paste it and you have instantly all your usual environment.
If you switch to another distro, you have to just drag the file "opera" on your new desktop, make an icon for fun. Nothing else to do.

Just installed Firefox directly to /mnt/home, like Gyle proposes for Opera.
I extracted the tar.bz from Mozilla directly to /mnt/home and it created a Firefox folder there.
It's running great. Of course, it doesn't integrate into Puppy as well as with the method proposed by DaveS.
Ah Firefox, iIt's a strange feeling of coming home, after a long period of using Chromium and Iron.
I must confess I've become addicted to the simple Chromium layout, so I changed FF, until it looked like this:
I added :
* Compact Menu2 (thanks for the idea Dave)
* Chromifox theme
* changed the Openbox theme to resemble the classic Chromium header bar.
Maybe a little too confusing?

Good job Bert. On the subject of making Firefox look like other browsers, here is my own installation which has the Operetta theme, which you must admit, makes it look an awful lot like Opera
Sadly, the theme has been withdrawn, my guess is the author got a sharp letter from the boys over at Opera.....
See the second button in on the toolbar, the one next to the Opera logo? That is a shortcut to preferences from Cat Thief (simple options button), available here

If saving to pdf is the problem, I have the solution for you
Web2PDFConvert Opera extension
Now you have no excuses
I haven't tested it myself, I don't need it but I was wandering whether there is any such add on (since there is for firefox) and searched for it.

Post subject: At last, Foxyfun_extra_distros Pet, sort of, and thanks
Hi DaveS, and all:
Thanks Michalis for the link.
Finally sort of created a Foxyfun_extra_distros pet. As it was written to be used with any firefox installed via a direct download from Mozilla, it doesn't include linking to the .mozilla file which FoxyFun installs outside the SaveFile. That will still be have to done by hand. But a quick edit of the included script file will call Foxyfun from any Puppy, albeit its menu entry will read "Firefox." You can change that as well if you like.
At any rate, you can find it at the following link:

This week Zak (aka "Qwentle") our designer will give an overview of design changes to expect in the Closed Beta. I have asked the team to be very open and honest about a lot of the things we are working on, so hopefully you guys will enjoy this week's read.
Bjorn / TechMech
Hey guys, for those that haven't come across me yet, I'm Zak "Qwentle" Littwin, now the Designer for APB Reloaded (and previously the Development QA Lead at Realtime Worlds). I've been asked by Bjorn to talk about some of the changes we will be testing during Closed Beta. This is going to be a fairly long post, so you may want to get a cup of tea and some biccies. Even so, this is only Part 1 of many posts about the upcoming game changes (and probably these design posts will occur quite frequently as we progress toward the renewed live service).
"Tease" Warning
First; let me be clear – in today's post we are ONLY talking about the TWEAKS that are present in the Closed Beta (these are items we are actually testing out in this first release round, along with extensive system and server tests), and I will NOT be talking about the much more extensive changes we are planning to implement in the Open Beta and especially for Live Service. So without giving too much away, one of the key changes for a future release (again NOT for Closed Beta nor in this post) is the expansion of game modes (especially the addition of "Chaos" and the creation of the completely new mode called "Turf Wars') as well as the release of a whole new district (the "Asylum" expansion) which we are working on to turn in to an awesome map, and which will drastically alter how players can engage each other, and potentially will alter (for the better) the whole idea of missions, while leaving in place some of the ideas behind the original game play from the original districts.
These future changes will truly change the game play of APB and will make the game much more sustainable (imagine defending areas in the Asylum in a team vs team or even Clan vs Clan setup). But to be clear – today's post is NOT about those changes. So forget this little teaser. Instead today's post ONLY talks about the things that in fact will be in the Closed Beta.
Closed Beta Changes (ie - things we need our Closed Beta players to test)
Gameplay Changes
Integrated Cheat DetectionFirst; yes – we have enabled PunkBuster in the closed beta. Not directly a gameplay change, but we think this will improve the gameplay experience quite a bit. This is a significant code change and will require a lot of testing (see Aphadon's post from last week). So there will be a lot of technical changes as part of this update of which some have been mentioned in previous posts. Death to Cheaters!
Weapon modifications
Over in the Gameplay department, during Closed Beta the first thing you will notice is the change to weapon implementations. While previously the game was fairly well balanced (apart from a couple of weapons), the combat model wasn't particularly fun in a lot of situations, with weapons not feeling very meaty (though the recoil addition in 1.4.1 helped somewhat). In Closed Beta to fix this, we've upped initial damage on all weapons, adjusted recoil for most weapons, and changed accuracy so the weapon very quickly blooms out to its minimum accuracy, but regains it very quickly once you stop firing. These are fairly major changes, and will likely affect balance initially, and it is something we need to try out extensively. This change also gives some advantage to single-shot type weapons. We'll be testing these balance changes extensively during the beta to see what you guys think. In our internal initial playtests the changes make the combat feel a lot more fun (which after all is the whole purpose of the game).
General gameplay changes (marksmanship, witnessing, camera)
Other gameplay changes include the following items; marksmanship will not disable when you fall short distances, teammates will now show accurately on your personal radar screen, the arrest exploit has been fixed and a few other minor changes across various systems. Witnessing has been completely removed for the time being (the ready system kind of broke it), but we plan to reintroduce it in a near future build in a much improved fashion, as it is intregal to the open world experience. The default camera position has also been moved out slightly so that your head doesn't obscure the centre of screen when the player runs to the right.
Core Game Progression Change
We've done a lot of work with changing the progression system ahead of Closed Beta. Progression was really convoluted before, with rewards at seemingly random points, and it had some strange mechanics that needed a lot of explaining by game prompts. Additionally in-game money pricing structure on some of the game items resulted in massive run-away economy problems. While there are other areas of the game that are higher priority to fix (for example spawning, matchmaking and missions), progression is something that is a lot harder to change once we are in live service, so it made sense for us to look at it now and create the new Progression System to be tested in Closed Beta.
The first thing we did was remove organisation standing. It was a fairly obtuse mechanic that didn't really fit into the game very well. Then we adjusted the contacts so they each fall under the category of either Weapons contacts or Vehicle contacts. As the names suggest – vehicle contacts unlock new vehicles, vehicle upgrades, and vehicle components, while weapons contacts now unlock preset weapons and character upgrades. All contacts unlock preset and customisable clothing options. Since the presets are now properly named you will now be able to tell which items and combinations are actually meant to be worn together (an annoying missing item in the original release).
Open slot weapons and weapon upgrades are unlocked through specific roles that are levelled through using that weapon class (so shotguns and SMGs are all unlocked through the Pointman role, along with upgrades such as Magazine Pull and Reflex Sight), while higher level equipment is unlocked through performing the activity that relates to it (for example Performing Arsons unlocks better Petrol Cans). One thing that helps a lot is the new ability to see how much progress you have made in a certain role or for a certain achievement. While progress bars couldn't be added before Closed Beta due to some current technical constraints of how the UI works, we have added a numerical readout (ie. 5/12) so you can see how close you are to actually reaching the next level (making levelling something that now matters a lot more, and has more impact).
All Symbols and some pieces of clothing are now rewarded through random rewards at the end of a mission. Players have a very high chance (50%, modified by mission performance) to unlock one at the end of each mission, with different contacts unlocking different symbols.
High level vehicles are now using a slightly different unlock system. You unlock the base vehicles and presets through vehicle contacts at high levels, with kits and open slot versions gained through completing time trials around the districts with those vehicles (this bit's not in yet, so open slot versions of the high-level cars, along with their kits, won't initially be available in the first beta. We'll be working on getting this in ASAP though).
Another major change to progression is leagues. We felt that leagues were not providing their original purpose, and instead were just causing players to exploit game systems, or 'Zerg' things in order to compete. As such we've removed them completely in the short term, though we plan to add back Leagues at some point, potentially along with the revised (and more meaningful) Clan mechanics which are used in other games as well.
Finally the "in-game" or "earned money" cost for most items has been drastically increased. It's better for players to have a load of stuff they want and have to work to get the money together to buy them, rather than be able to buy everything right away and have a ton of money left over (something that had made the original money system strangely unbalanced). These changes are something that will need a lot of testing in Closed Beta to get to the right values, so we're expecting a lot of analysis of user behaviour in this area. It also ties in to the roll-out of Premium vs. Free accounts (something we will be dealing with before and during Open Beta in greater detail).
We have also done some work on the Upgrade system. We've moved all upgrades into groups, so you can only use one of each type (we've also renamed them to fit with each system). I've also removed a couple of mods that either didn't fit or were duplicates (Savage is gone, and Monolith has also been removed as it was functionally identical to Survivor). Going forward we plan on upping the difference that upgrades make, but adding substantial negative modifiers also, meaning players will specialise within roles rather than just increase stats. To facilitate this, we've also allowed the removal of upgrades without destruction. Initially this was added as a cash sink, but we found from both internal testing and live that it only served to stifle player choice, as players made a decision and never changed or explored other options along the way.
Vehicle Changes
During Closed Beta most vehicles have not changed dramatically, though a few vehicles have changed significantly. The biggest change is the removal of the "Han Cellente," ie. the starting vehicle. We thought it looked pretty awful and handled terribly, leading many to concludes that cars sucked in general (when in fact, they had just been given a really badly behaved one to start with). Instead we have inserted another vehicle as the starter car that looks a lot nicer, and that has pretty decent handling. We have modified how this new starter vehicle operates and with a couple of tweaks we're left with a cute little 2-door coupe that handles well, is stable and responsive, but not too fast (maybe not a very macho car, but that's why you will be upgrading at some point). So this should now be a really good vehicle to learn the vehicle system on.
Other changes include the G20 Vegas, which has been given massively increased acceleration and torque from scratch (just enough to make the front wheels lift off the ground if you slam your foot down on the pedal). It's a nice little effect but if it turns out to cause significant problems in Closed Beta testing we can tone it down a little. But heck – why not go over the top in Closed Beta with a few things, it's the best time to try crazy stuff that might work?
The Fresno has had its weight and power increased (so no change in handling, but better ramming potential). We want it to feel like an old steel chassis vehicle when compared to it's lightweight contemporaries. The Mikro/Vaquero now grip the road a lot better and both them and the Bishada/Jericho have had their health reduced in order to put them just below average hp.
The largest change to an existing vehicle is the Balkan Kolva (Dump Truck). We have made it rarer in the game, and massively increased the weight and torque, while lowering the turning speed and initial acceleration. Combined with much higher health (it is a fully loaded dump truck filled with tons and tons of sand after all), we're left with a lumbering vehicle that needs a run up to get speed, but packs a rather insane punch if it manages to hit something. Ideally the really low acceleration from scratch will stop it from being a griefing tool (it can't really change direction to block someone in a pinch), but we'll have to wait till beta to see whether it works in a large scale environment.
The idea behind these vehicle changes, and more changes we will be making in the future, is to give each vehicle a lot of individual personality and specialisation and unique benefits, rather than everyone rushing straight to the Cisco/Bishada/Jericho/T25.
The Premium Quandary
The last thing I was originally going to talk about was premium accounts and leased weapons since that's another big change for the new version of the game. In short, we want to make premiums highly desirable purchases, but not something that crushes Free2Play players. Our goal is to ensure everyone has fun in the game, while simultaneously encouraging premium activities, since that ensures we can stick around and pay for the costs of running and expanding the game over the next several years. We are also in the middle of creating weapons that can be leased that aren't necessarily better than the ones you earn, just different, more specialized or has some other specific benefits. However, seeing how we are running out of blog space (cough...), we are planning to share all the information about premium/free and earned/leased breakdowns as we get closer to launch. And just another teaser - you might be able to spot some of these new weapons in the images below (and it just means you will have to stick around for the future post where we will dig in to the new weapons in great detail).
So that's what we're initially putting into closed beta. All of the above is of course subject to change and a lot of future changes will based on both measuring behaviour as well as reviewing feedback during the beta (since sometimes people request one thing, but actually acts in a completely different way when we measure their actions).
In a future post I will discuss subsequent changes planned for Open Beta and Live (the maps and complete game system changes I hinted at in the top of the post – since THAT will be truly revolutionary to the overall game play for the entire game), but for now I'll leave you with some screenshots of the updated game highlighting a couple of the weather changes we have added (plus some of the new weapons we're adding).
Qwentle / your Designer
Weather updates in updated game (with some teaser weapons)
Let's all thank Qwentle for sharing a lot of Closed Beta change details in this "Part 1 of Many" series outlining design changes the game will be going through over the next several months. Clearly there are four big "teases" in this post alone; the exact leased weapon configurations, what you actually get for being "premium," the new game modes/engagement modes and finally the actual details about the new world/map (other than the fact that it will be called "Asylum" we know very little). Nice. I hope this has whet your appetite a little bit for our future posts, so we will hopefully see you back here next week!

A man's wardrobe Morning Suit Hire in Fourways is always incomplete without a men's suit. Men's suits have always enjoyed immense reputation and popularity around the globe. Men's suits always project professionalism and distinctive character and are also worn as a style statement. You can wear a men's suit on different occasions. There are various types of men's suits available in different styles and patterns.
The Dinner suit is the first suit worn, Wedding Blazer among all suits these days. It basically emerges as an alternative to dress coats in much the same way as the day lounge suit. The dinner suit can also be made as a part of a black tie suit.
The business suit is the second type of men's suit available. It is preferred mostly by businessmen as a lounge suit. While going for a conference, conducting meetings or any other business activity, the business suit is considered the most suitable business attire for men. A range of choices are available in different styles, colors and fabrics in business suits.

Designer suits are another type of men's suits. They are said to be one of the most favorable choices of everybody. These suits can sometimes be quite tricky to buy. As fashion changes, these suits also change from year to year. The designer suits can be found in different styles, materials and colors.
Solid Statements:
If you were to choose a bright color outside the standard brown, black or grey, solid color suits are definitely a break from the norm. Such suits can be found in brown, blue and even bright colors like orange.
The linen suit is quite fashionable, comfortable and accessible thanks to the Italian clothing designers. The linen has proven to be incredibly comfortable, almost like wearing fine sheets, which also makes the many colors and patterns, variations work very well with the suit. These suits are mostly associated with a more relaxed vacation feel and are lighter in color. Beige is one such color.

Morning Suit Hire in Fourways ?
Ok so you have found a wedding suit you like and all aspects of it are perfect apart from the size and fit, what do you do? Well read this article to find out and make sure you are left with a comfortable and stylish looking suit that you can enjoy your day in.
Making sure your wedding suit fits properly is the key to dressing well for a any wedding occasion. First you need to put on the suit along with the same shoes, shirt and tie you will be wearing on the day. This is important as they will have an effect on how the suit looks feels and fits. Now place your arms down by your sides with your hands and fingers flat against your legs. As it is now sitting, the hem of the jacket should not be any longer than the length of your middle finger. Make sure that the cuff of the shirt is showing lightly, but not showing the cuff links. (This is approximately ½ an inch) If it doesn't then you need a shirt with longer sleeves. The length of the jacket sleeve should sit comfortably past the hand side of your wrist.
This is a basic guide to making sure you are wearing a wedding suit that fits.
Tips for Choosing Mens Wedding Suits
It is important to look smart for any wedding you attend and a smart Wedding Suit is something you should invest in. Suits have a massive range of style and colour and before making your selection read some Wedding Suit Reviews before you take the plunge and shell out your hard earned cash. If you are considering hiring then it might be a good option to take out accidental suit hire damage insurance, which covers most forms of wedding attire. For the small additional cost this could save you a small fortune as many weddings involve a good drinking session.
The end result of any suit should mean that the man wearing it feels and looks comfortable. This will ensure you enjoy the day.

Looking for input on magazine story about homeschooling
Hello. I'm a writer working on a story about homeschooling for possible publication in statewide magazines of Electric Cooperative Associations around the country. The story will simply offer insights into why families have chosen homeschooling and what they most enjoy about it. I'm looking for a few homeschooling families to interview briefly by phone for the story. If you're interested, please either send me your email address in a private reply to this posting (and then I can follow up via email to request your phone number directly), or email your contact information (name, phone number, city/state) to me directly at email@example.com. I'd need any interested replies by June 16, 2006. Afterward, the yahoo email account listed will be inactive. Thank you for your help.
Re: Looking for input on magazine story about homeschooling
Not to sound nasty, but can you post your name and/or some way of verifying who you are? Most people writing a news story don't try to be this anonymous.

Magazine story
Sure. My name is Robin, and this particular article is for a clearinghouse of publications put out by statewide electric cooperative associations throughout the country. Again, the article will simply offer insights into why homeschooling families have chosen that option, what they've most enjoyed about it, and perhaps also tips for other families who may be interested in trying homeschooling. As far as contact information, I was hoping to, and plan to, provide more specific details to individuals who contact me via email. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has about the magazine assignment and my request for interviews via email. Thanks again.

- "Funny way to get to a wizards' school, the train. Magic carpets all got punctures, have they?"
- —Vernon Dursley facetiously discussing wizarding transportation[src]
The flying carpet, also known as a magic carpet, is a form of magical transportation used by some nations of the wizarding world. As the name implies, it is a carpet that has been enchanted to fly. Flying carpets are particularly popular in Asia and the Middle East, with India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran and Mongolia among the main nations using them. The Ministry of Magic in Great Britain has put a ban on all Flying Carpets because they are classified as Muggle Objects.
Flying carpets were once an accepted form of travel for Britain's magical community, but they are now banned due to being defined as a Muggle Artefact by the Registry of Proscribed Charmable Objects. It is therefore now against wizarding law to charm carpets or fly them there, although they are still legal in other countries. Arthur Weasley was very much involved in the introduction of this legislation due to his position in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office. It is known that the ban was relatively recent, not only from Arthur's involvement, but also from the fact that Barty Crouch Snr's grandfather owned a 12-seater Axminster back in the days before they were prohibited.
The advantage of the carpet over a broomstick is that they can seat a number of people or luggage with ease, and are far more comfortable to ride on without having a Cushioning Charm placed on them, unlike broomsticks. It's still likely to be pretty chilly travelling on one, however, as like a broomstick, they offer no protection from the elements.
A merchant by the name of Ali Bashir was very keen to export flying carpets to Great Britain and was very upset that local laws prevented him from doing so. He regularly berated Arthur about the subject but it is very unlikely that the law will ever be changed.

Just in case anyone has forgotten, I'll be shaving my head on St Patrick's weekend as part of a fund-raiser for pediatric cancer research.
I'm really close to my goal of $10,000 -- at about $8200 as of this writing. I can use every little bit towards my goal; no amount is too small or too large to help. So if you are reading this, I ask you to consider clicking on the link and contributing a small amount towards a cure for all variety of cancers that strike down kids.
I am doing this in memory of my friend Nathan Gentry, who lost his battle with neuroblastoma this past summer, and also in honor of Henry, who is as you read this an inpatient at Johns Hopkins getting a bone marrow transplant for medulloblastoma.
Whatever you can give is appreciated -- even just $10, $25, or $50. Some readers of this blog, people I have never met in person, have donated as much as $500! I'm overwhelmed by that sort of generosity. But I don't need big donations to hit my goal. I'm so close that even just a dozen modest gifts will put us over the top. Will you be the one to step up to the plate? I hope so.
Here's how it works: you click the image below. It takes you to my page on St Baldrick's website, and you can make your secure, tax-deductible donation by clicking the "Donate Online" link. Then you feel the warm tingly goodness of karma suffuse your body, and in a few weeks, I send you an email with an image of my pristine, gleaming scalp, and you get to chuckle at how goofy I look.
I'm already over $9,000! You guys rock!
If for any reason you have trouble with, or are uncomfortable with donating online, you can call the Baldrick's phone number and donate over the phone. The number is (888) 899-BALD. Happy donating!

Thank you so much for doing this. I keep up with your progress and it's absolutely heartwarming to know that so many people, most of which we have never, or will never meet, are so moved to help. Thank you for your generosity.

You are more than welcome. It's an honor and a pleasure. Just FYI, I look to be over $10K now.ReplyDelete
Hmmm. I've still a month to go. I need to re-assess that goal...

Fannie Wallace Letter to Mannie & Sissie Tuten 29 July 1863
Source: Arthur Whitford Papers, East Carolina Manuscript Collection, #18.1.a
Staff Person: Jonathan Dembo
Description: Letter from Fannie Wallace to Mannie and Sissie Tuten, 29 July 1863
This little letter is from a young woman in Greensboro, North Carolina to her grandparents, Mannie and Sissie Tuten. It offers a glimpse into social life in the South during the crisis of the Civil War. Written less than a month after the Battle of Gettysburg (1-3 July) and the Fall of Vicksburg (4 July 1863) that ended any hope of Confederate victory, Fannie makes no mention of these disasters. Instead, she focuses on her family and social activities, her friends and her parties. She writes that her cousins are visiting and wishes they could be with them too. She passes on Nancie's request for some snuff. Fannie knows there is a war on and that there are shortages. Indeed, she proclaims her patriotism: she is writing with Confederate ink on a Confederate spelling book and danced with two Confederate officers at a Ball. Either she did not understand the seriousness of the military situation, or, perhaps, more likely, did not wish to think about them or burden her grandparents with her worries.

Living in a residence hall room can be one of the most rewarding AND challenging experiences in a student's college career. Many college roommates become best friends and just as many do not. The college roommate experience will be positive if both roommates allow for open and honest communication. Just because roommates are very different does not mean they cannot get along. Before conflicts arise it is helpful to talk to their roommate about the roommate agreement and creating rules for their room.
Some things to do when getting to know their roommate:
When a student is experiencing a conflict or problem with a roommate, we generally expect the student to first try to discuss the issue directly with their roommate. Residence Life views your student as an adult and expects him/her to attempt to work problems out on his/her own. Do not be surprised if your student goes to their RA and is first asked if they have tried to work it out with their roommate on their own. We understand that living in a residence hall room can be one of the most rewarding AND challenging experiences in a student's college career. This is especially true for students who are in their first year of college or sharing a room with someone for the first time in their lives. In many cases it is the parent who will hear about any roommate concerns first, often even before the student shares this concern with their roommate or staff member.
Some things to do when getting to know their roommate:
All room move requests should be directed to the hall director of the building the student is residing. The hall director will attempt to identify space availability within the current building or in another residence hall to facilitate the move. If space is available the student will receive a Room Move form to start the process. Once the student receives the key to the new room, they have 72 hours to complete the move and return the key to their previous residence hall. Students who do not complete the move within the designated time may forfeit the new assignment.
The Residence Hall Association (RHA), a student lead organization of residence hall students, has partnered with Residence Hall Linens for several years to provide our students and families with a convenient, affordable way to ensure you have sheets that will fit all of the beds on campus. Proceeds from this program are used for programming in the residence halls. Order your extra-long twin sheets, comforters, matching towels, and storage items directly through the Residence Hall Linens program.
The Value Pak has everything you need for campus living! Don't forget- ordering from Residence Hall Linens ensures you have xl twin sheets that fit our extra-long beds while supporting Southeast's Residence Hall Association. Please visit the RHL website http://www.rhl.org
Note: This information is provided as a service. The University does not require students or their families to purchase their bed linens or any other residence hall room supplies through Residence Hall Linens or any other third party vendor.
Southeast Missouri State University and the Office of Residence Life share each student, parent, and family member's concern about safety. To assist with this critical issue the University has worked to provide improved safety and security throughout the campus and in the residence halls. Students can only gain access to their residence hall using their University issued key or keycard. All residence halls are locked 24 hours a day.
Though we work to provide a safe community, safety depends on the student's personal behaviors. We ask that students follow some basic safety tips:
Upon check in, each residence hall student is required to provide emergency contact information. If the resident is under 18 years old they must provide the contact information for their parent or legal guardian. This information will be used in the event the student is determined to be missing or in the event of a medical emergency. Students may update this information by contacting their Hall Director.
Missing students may be reported to either the University Police Department or any member of the Office of Residence Life staff. Upon notification of a potentially missing student, the Office of Residence Life, Dean of Students Office and the University Police will begin a joint investigation of the situation. Upon determination that a student is actually missing for more than 24 hours, the student's emergency contact will be notified. In the case that the missing person is under 18 years old, the parent or legal guardian will be notified.
Feel free to contact the Office of Residence Life with questions or concerns at (573) 651-2274 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please understand, however, that we are obligated to respect your student's privacy and confidentiality. While we won't be able to share specifics without your student's written permission, we will be able to share general information.

Colorado's ideological battle over gun rights was played out in stark fashion Saturday in Boulder, where a gun magazine giveaway was forced to turn away some people due to high demand, while at least 100 people protested silently a short distance away.
People were lining up as early as 7 a.m. outside Boulder Gunsport, 1707 14th St., for "Operation Mountain Standard," a fundraising event organized by Longmont resident and Marine Corps veteran Savant Suykerbuyk. His plan was to collect donations to Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a Colorado gun lobby.
In return, donors received gun magazines designed to carry more than 15 rounds of ammunition. His goal was to distribute as many high-capacity magazines as possible before a law placing a 15-round limit on magazines, passed by Colorado lawmakers earlier this week, is signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper and goes into effect.
"What we're trying to do is to get as many of these magazines in people's hands before this ban hits. If people have them before the bill is signed, they get grandfathered in," said Suykerbuyk, 25, before the event was underway.
The idea for the event originated on a Reddit.com guns forum, and Suykerbuyk decided to take the lead after talking to other Second Amendment advocates. Gun owners from across the country donated the magazines distributed at the event.
Suykerbuyk owns nine guns and said he carries one on him at all times. He worries that the impending magazine limit will impair his ability to protect himself from assailants.
"A lot of people argue that they want to restrict magazines so that bad guys will have to reload more often," he said. "Well, I don't want to have to reload a bunch of times if I have multiple intruders coming into my home."
Those who are already in possession of high-capacity magazines before the law takes effect, he said, "are legal owners of those magazines. You cannot buy, sell, or transfer magazines after that law is signed, but as long as you have them before it is, it's legal."
By 9 a.m. Saturday, when the giveaway kicked off, there were roughly 75 people lined up. A $10 contribution earned donors 21 and older a handgun magazine, and donations of $20 earned those 18 and older a rifle magazine. With a limit of two magazines per person, and only 100 magazines to distribute, all were gone in 20 minutes, with numerous people turned away, empty-handed.
The AR-15 magazines, intended for semi-automatic rifles, sold out in less than 10 minutes.
"Everybody wanted two of them," Suykerbuyk said.
The donors expressed varying motives for obtaining the high-capacity magazines, from self-defense to pure recreation.
Denver-area hunting hobbyist Dante Nicholas, 31, said a 15-round magazine would be ineffective in hunting "varmints" and coyotes.
"They travel fast and they never stop moving, so a 30-round mag is the only way to take out a pack," he said.
Littleton's Alex Martens, 21, simply called the magazines "an accessory for a toy."
Meanwhile, on the south side of Canyon Boulevard, Together Colorado, a multi-denominational group of Boulder-area clergy members took part in a "silent prayer witness," in opposition to the gun magazine giveaway.
"We come today as people of peace, people of compassion and faith, seeking ways to end gun violence," a Together Colorado statement read. "We affirm that peace begins with each of us, in our homes, on our streets, in our theaters, in our schools and in our churches."
While the giveaway was still underway, about 100 protesters had gathered along the south side of Canyon Boulevard, and by 10 a.m., they stretched for nearly the length of the block between 13th and 14th streets. Organizers said they had chosen a location close to the magazine giveaway, but not within direct view of it, in order not to be confrontational.
"This is not intended to encourage head-on confrontation," said Sheila Dierks, a spokeswoman for Together Colorado. "We're concerned about high-capacity magazines, but we're mostly concerned about the gun violence culture. Aurora is a reality. The number of gun deaths in Denver is a reality. We can talk about keeping the guns out of the hands of the bad guys, but one of the ways you do that is by having just legislation."
The group of clergy members had said in a letter to the Camera that it believes the Operation Mountain Standard event is a "perversion of Second Amendment rights and a great threat to the safety of our citizens."
In addition to passing the 15-round limit on magazines earlier in the week, the state Legislature on Friday also passed an expansion on background checks for firearms purchases, which Hickenlooper is expected to sign into law within two weeks.
The background checks bill increases the number of cases in which a $10 criminal background check would be required to legally transfer a gun.
State Sen. Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, supported that bill as well as the one limiting magazine capacity. Those legislative measures, he said this morning prior to a scheduled town hall meeting at the nearby Boulder Municipal Building, "will not be perfect, but it beats nothing."
"What we're talking about is just putting reasonable restrictions on guns so that people who have guns for legitimate purposes can have them," he said. "Those that don't have legitimate purposes shouldn't have them."
Colorado is the first state beyond the East Coast to pass significant new gun legislation after the mass shootings last year at the Century 16 movie theaters in Aurora and Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Voter ID laws in North Carolina, Texas and other states appear more vulnerable to legal challenges after a federal judge struck down a Wisconsin law that required voters show a state issued photo ID at the polls.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman ruled the Wisconsin law places an unfair burden on poor and minority voters. The ruling could encourge opponents in North Carolina and other states to make similar challenges.
North Carolina and dozens more states require voters to show some form of identification when voting, according to The Associated Press. Legislation is being proposed in many others. The laws' opponents, including many Democrats, argue the Republican-supported laws are an effort to suppress minority voters. Republicans who support the laws argue requiring a photo ID protects against voter fraud.
The North Carolina ID law was signed in August, two months after the Supreme Court struck down parts of the Voting Rights Act that required jurisdictions with a history of discrimination, many of them in the South, to seek federal approval before changing voter laws.

The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the Tarheel state the following month claiming North Carolina legislators "intentionally" discriminated against minorities. McCrory, who said the law protects against fraud, has said the lawsuit is "without merit." He cited a video showing the president presenting an ID card to vote in Chicago.

Adweek has just released their Digital Hot List - a yearly list of top digital destinations for advertisers - and right up there with the big boys like Google, Facebook, and...Stardoll, is Microsoft's Xbox Live service. Measuring statistics such as year over year growth, pages viewed per users, and time spent on pages, along with factors like ad innovation and cultural influence, Adweek has ranked Xbox Live as number 7 on its list, falling neatly between YouTube and The Huffington Post.
Swelling from 6 million users to 12 million since the beginning of this year, it has landed sponsors including McDonald's and Doritos, the latter encouraging users to create a game around the brand. Nintendo Wii has grabbed headlines, but in marketers' battle for the living room, Xbox Live is the real game-changer selling downloads of premium programming while delivering a expanding roster of original, ad-supported content.
Well played, Xbox Live! Keep working on those advertising opportunities. Don't rest until your entire service is skinned to look like a McGriddles ad. I kid, that's a ridiculous idea. Digital Hot List: Dynamite Destinations & Devices of '08 [Adweek]

Meet Mike Yoshida.
Behind The Lens: Mike Yoshida
TWS: So, for the record what's your full name, astrological sign, birthplace, age, and current place of residence?
Mike Yoshida: Michael Ryoji Yoshida, Scorp, Anchorage Alaska, 30, Bellingham/ Seattle
T: When did you move to the lower 48?
M: When I was 17 straight of High School, moved to Seattle for a summer, then bounced up to Bham in the winter of '96
T: Why Bellingham?
M: Mostly because of school, and I had a couple buddies there I knew. Not because of Baker, at the time I couldn't afford to snowboard, so that came later.
Bryan Fox
T: When did you start snowboarding?
M: I started snowboarding in '91. But I never really started to progress until I started riding baker and Mt. Hood. I rode a bunch up in AK at the local rope tow, and my buddies and I used to build jumps off of roads and old housing developments. Also a little bit of riding at Alyeska, but that's about it up until I started to ride at Baker. My parents were never down to take me snowboarding too much, so I used to shred this mini hill in front of my house.
T: What'd you think of Baker when you first rode there?
M: I thought it was pretty sweet, but honestly I thought it was a bit gnarly. I'd always get cliffed out or lost, and until I learned the hill better, I was scared for my life most of the time.
T: When did you start shooting snowboarding?
M: Somewhere around 2000? I had a pretty sweet Canon that my dad let me borrow, and I started to bring it up to the hill every day.
T: How'd you first get published, it was an afterhours semi-anonymous drop at Frequency The Snowboarders Journal right?
M: For the record, I think my first published shot was a Mt Baker Snowboard Shop ad that came out in '01 I think. But yeah, my afterhours Frequency submit was my first legit shot. I just found out where the office was, and shoved a bunch of prints and scanned images under the door, and crossed my fingers. I think almost a year later they ended up using a shot for their contents page.
T: I remember seeing a lot of your early work was black and white prints, why did you or do you like shooting black and white film?
M: Well…shooting film in general was a very exciting time for me. Basically, you're always wondering if you got the shot, and it's so nerve wracking when you actually go to pick up your film. I got into black and white, because there is a lot of latitude to messing with the print in the darkroom. Pretty much the same stuff people do in photoshop, but you get to do it with your own hands, and produce a piece of art you can hold, as opposed to a digital file that flies across the world on someones FTP. Also the higher ISO grainier films are great for shooting in low light, and that is what I'm subject to a lot of the time up here in the NW.
Lando (left), Burtner (right).
T: And now you're working for K2 right?
M: Yeah, I shoot all the riders, ads, and catalog as well.
T:Who are your favorite riders to work with?
M:Well, the K2 team is such an amazing group of people. Every one of them has such an amazing work ethic, and a distinct personality. I think it's pretty epic that I get to work with some of the most amazing riders out there, and that they have been people I looked up to, even before I worked for K2. Aside from K2, I get to work with Think Thank a little here and there, which is always a good time. Jesse and his crew are always out there giving it 110%, so that's cool to see.
T: Any plans for this winter yet?
M: I have a couple ideas for some produced shots, but that will probably be done around the spring time. I could tell you, but you'll have to wait and see on that one…Also, K2 has been talking about doing some team trips, so we've been discussing the locations and logistics of that. Other than that, I'm just crossing my fingers for a good winter up here in the NW, and I'll most def be up in Whistler, and maybe out to the QC. We'll see, it's always like you hit the ground running around Jan. 1st
Genovese (left), Engle (right).
T: Any advice to aspiring photogs?
M: Yeah, take your time, and think through your photo. Think about the composition, what takes the shot to the next level, and always try to move on to the next angle once you think you got what you want. Don't be afraid to try something new, or experiment. There are a million ideas and photos that have been done before, so just try and put a new twist on what you've seen, or better yet come up with some crazy new shit.

Many of you probably know that 38 members of the 2006 Duke lacrosse team have filed a civil suit against Duke University, its president Richard Brodhead (yes, he's still Duke's president), the city of Durham, and others associated with the outrageous behavior directed at team members in connection with the bogus rape allegations. The plaintiffs have established a web site that presents information about the case. It posts pleadings in the case and provides links to a press release about the case, certain media reports, and certain blogs operated by third parties.
Setting up this kind of website, and indeed ones that are much more aggressive, is a common thing for plaintiffs to do these days. It's been done in cases where I've represented the defendant. The more aggressive of these sites can be fairly amusing (if you're involved in the case) and occasionally provide material that can be turned against the plaintiffs. I confess that it has never occurred to me to ask a court to shut such a site down. Lawyers should zealously represent their clients, but it rarely serves a client's interest to become a laughingstock.
Duke's lawyers, among whom are Clinton administration stalwarts Jamie Gorelick and Seth Waxman, apparently have no such qualms. They seek an order declaring, among other things, that the plaintiffs' website violates local rules against extrajudicial attorney statements. Duke acknowledges that the material on the website either quotes or closely paraphrases the allegations contained in the plaintiffs' complaint. Duke also concedes that the material thus falls within the safe harbor provided by the local rules for attorney comments that convey information in a public record. However, Duke takes the position that the statements nonetheless violate the local rules because they are "incendiary."
Duke has no basis for reading into the local rule an exception for incendiary statements (or, in this case, statements it simply doesn't like). Moreover, such an exception likely would be unconstitutionally vague.
At one time, it might have been surprising for a higly-rated university to push for unconstitutional restrictions on free expression. But not anymore and certainly not in the case of an institution like Duke.
You can find the briefs filed by Duke in support of its motion here and here. The plaintiffs' response is here. The underlying complaint is here.

Salvador Dalí was a renowned Spanish Surrealist artist known for his enigmatic paintings of dreamscapes and religious themes. The Persistence of Memory (1931), arguably his best known work, visually manifests the strangeness of time by depicting clocks melting in an idyllic landscape. "One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams," he once reflected. Born Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Spain, he displayed a great aptitude for the visual arts as a teenager. Three years after his first exhibition at the age of 14, he enrolled at the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. At school, he emulated many contemporary styles but also the works of Johannes Vermeer and Diego Velázquez. During his visits to Paris in the late 1920s, he was introduced to the Surrealist movement by René Magritte and Joan Miró. Though the concept of Surrealism was new to him, Dalí was already well versed in the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud. Dabbling in various projects throughout his long career, in 1942 he published the book The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí. A mixture of self-aggrandizing confessions and sadistic fantasies about his childhood, the book further outlined the artist's outlandish persona. However, his pronounced sense of ego was not always unfounded, as evinced in his works inclusion in Alfred Hitchcock's famous dream sequence from the film Spellbound (1945). Dalí died on January 23, 1989 in his hometown of Figueres, Spain. Today, his works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the Reina Sofia National Museum in Madrid, and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, among others.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - USA Today released the Preseason Coaches Poll on Thursday, and college football in South Carolina has never been this hyped.
Coming in at No. 7, coach Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks look to continue making waves in the SEC this year.
With star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney anchoring the defense and two bona fide starting quarterbacks in Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson helping to boost the offense, the Gamecocks have a chance to make a return trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship this year.
Meanwhile, the No. 8 Clemson Tigers are still riding high on their win over LSU in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Picked to win the ACC outright from powerhouse Florida State, no one would be surprised if coach Dabo Swinney has Jan. 6, 2014 circled on his calendar for a trip to the Rose Bowl and the national championship.
Swinney is counting on a championship-caliber season from senior quarterback Tajh Boyd and a return-to-form from junior wide receiver Sammy Watkins.
As for the remaining top 10, the Alabama Crimson Tide once again finds itself atop the poll with 58 first place votes.
The SEC in general continues to dominate the top 10 with five total representatives. Georgia comes in at No. 5, Texas A&M at No. 6, and Florida at No. 10.
South Carolina and the North Carolina Tar Heels help kickoff the 2013 college football season on Aug. 29 at 6 p.m. at Williams-Brice Stadium. The game will be televised on ESPN.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - No. 17 Georgetown broke a 2-2 tie with a 13-goal run, ending with a 16-3 victory over Yale Sunday afternoon at Multi-Sport Field. Freshman attacker Jen DeVito had two goals for the Bulldogs.
Coming off their second win of the season, the Bulldogs fell behind 2-0 but rallied back with a pair of goals from DeVito to tie the score six minutes into the game. But the Hoyas then reeled off 13 in a row, including nine straight to end the first half. Yale (2-8) was hurt by 18 turnovers in the first half, when Georgetown (4-5) had a 15-8 advantage in ground balls.
Freshman Erin McMullan came on to play goal in the second half and made eight saves. Junior attacker Caroline Crow scored Yale's other goal.
Senior defender Fielding Kidd led Yale with four caused turnovers, while senior midfielder Logan Greer added three ground balls and three draw controls.
Yale returns to action next Saturday, hosting Princeton as part of a doubleheader with the Yale men's lacrosse team for the dedication of Reese Stadium.

On Tuesday, Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid was named a finalist for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, which goes to the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.
The other finalists are Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Minnesota's Josh Harding.
Last September, McQuaid was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, a disorder that can cause potentially life-threatening blood clots.
He underwent two surgeries for a blood clot near his right shoulder in October and was expected to be sidelined until at least January and possibly February.
But despite having a rib and part of a neck muscle removed, McQuaid recovered far more quickly than anticipated and was back on the ice in December.
McQuaid was able to suit up with his teammates for the season opener against the Rangers Jan. 19 and played in 32 regular-season games. He also missed time with a strained left shoulder but was an important factor in the Bruins' extraordinary come-from-behind victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 Monday night at TD Garden.
Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli felt helpless at the time, because with the NHL in a lockout, management couldn't oversee what was going on with players.
"That was a different one, a weird one, because we couldn't really do anything because it happened during the work stoppage,'' said Chiarelli. "I wasn't able to medically oversee it or to help it along. It was almost like I was observing it from afar, and it was pretty scary from the accounts that I got.
"I was told that he wouldn't be ready and, in fact, there might be a long period of time into the season when he wouldn't be ready.
"But credit to Adam, it was a scary thing he went through. The size of his arm, the swelling, it swelled up five or six times the size of his arm. He was really scared and feared for his life.
"It's a terrific story and a testament to Adam's character.''
Crosby, after missing significant time with concussion issues the past two seasons, finished fourth in NHL scoring with 56 points despite missing 12 games because of injuries, including a broken jaw. Harding, the Wild goalie, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last fall and missed 33 games as he underwent treatment. He returned to the lineup in late April.
Krug is called up
The Bruins will need McQuaid's size and skills during the Eastern Conference semifinal matchup against the New York Rangers because the team is decidedly thin behind the blue line. Whether Andrew Ference, Dennis Seidenberg, and Wade Redden will be ready for Game 1 Thursday remains to be seen.
The Bruins have called up Torey Krug from Providence.
"I don't have any updates,'' said Chiarelli. "Seids played 37 seconds [in Game 7] and obviously is injured. He's been a playoff warrior for us. If he's not in, we'll miss him.
"But I saw two really good performances by those two rookie players [Matt Bartkowski and Dougie Hamilton]. That's another testament to coaching, that they were able to integrate these two guys.
"Maybe we have a different look than we're used to as far as puck transporting, maybe that's a good thing, but that's what we're going to be. And we're calling up Torey Krug today to come along for the ride. So those three give us a little different complexion back there.''Nancy Marrapese-Burrell can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
