Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 84 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Packabag Favorite new staple I bought this in the black, choosing between petite small and small. Both fit equally well. The difference is in the length. The small hit below the knee and I am 5' 6". The petite hit right at the knee. I decided to keep the petite because I liked the length on me better. Drapes well and has some curves without clinging. May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by carly Oh My Gosh I Love This Dress ! I am 5'5' and 150lbs. and a medium fit perfectly. I slipped it on and it was light but not sheer. No clinging but not baggy. Haven't washed it but am sure a quick hand wash and drip dry will leave it ready to go. No wrinkles even after shipping! The only improvement I can suggest would be adding a hidden zipper pocket in the lower right front seam. That would make this dress perfect. But it is wonderful as is. May 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CAn8tive LOVE this dress It's sinfully comfortable to wear to work, doesn't wrinkle so it's going with me on vacation and is the perfect weight knit (NOT thin and clingy--but NOT too heavy/hot)! I have received compliments galore. PLEASE provide this dress in more prints in time for summer vacation! :) Thank you TS May 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynn613 No ironing necessary! It was awesome to pull out of my bag and where it. June 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lurlynn Great summer dress! This dress just slipped on and looked great. A perfect casual summer dress that could also be dressed up. June 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by StlLibraryLady Dresses as so becoming this Summer I love your dresses! So many can be comfortably worn all year long. But in the Summer they seem so special! The colors and the fabrics are feminine and fun. Many are fantastic for all age groups -- this style, in particular, is flattering in the heat and for my maturing age. June 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Camilla Fabulous Purchase! I am totally satisfied with my purchase of the Voyager Knit faux-wrap sleeveless dress in the blue multi print. I am 5 ft. 5 in. and weigh 132 pounds with a bust on the large size. I purchased it in size Small, the fit is perfect, and it is so figure-flattering. In addition, the price was very reasonable. I expect to get much wear out of this dress, whether travelling or not. June 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bevstclare Comfy and attractive This dress fits well and the fabric is nice, but not lined, so may need a slip underneath. Something to consider if the weather is warm. I bought it on sale so the value was good. June 4, 2013

** The * snowman *** cometh **
Wednesday 9 pm: It may be the biggest snowstorm of the winter for the Rochester area, and it looms menacingly in our weather reports. We're in store for a few days of accumulating snow. We shall see how my driveway holds up. Will this be the straw that breaks the camel's back and convinces me to either fix the cracked fuel line in the snow-thrower, or save up my pennies for next winter and hire a plowing service? Or, after all those monster storms farther south, will this be one more storm that misses us?
Thursday 6:30 am: Driveway … less than an inch of snow, but kind of sticky. Could get heavy if we get a lot. I use one of those angled shovels which plows very fast if there isn't much snow. Wife and cats … asleep. Mr. Coffee … gotta love that timer, coffee was waiting for me when I got my boots off. Immediate manager at work … wants to attend an off-site communications meeting today, but he says he'll drive. I'm sure the big boss, not from Rochester, will make some goofy snow comment, but I guess I have to laugh. Stay tuned.
Thursday 6 pm: Driveway … a couple of inches, not as heavy as I had feared. Wife … stuck in traffic. Cats … watching from the window. Manager … we wimped out today and watched the big boss's meeting from a web browser, and did not drive.
Friday 7 am: Driveway … about a foot. I dug a single lane to the street with enough space at the garage to get both cars out. This is probably the biggest overnight storm in over ten years. Could not use the angled shovel. Wife … working from home today. I will try to drive to Webster. Cats … meow.
Friday 6 pm: Driveway … another 3 inches since 8 am, plus another huge bank from the snow plow. Expecting another couple inches overnight. It's common on Facebook for someone to state his or her amazement, and that is always followed by some guy who says, ha ha, 8 inches is just a dusting! The snow is getting tough to manage, though, because I have to throw the snow so high to get rid of it.

Level 3 offender registers in Canby
CANBY – Representatives of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Canby Police Department and the Yellow Medicine County Sheriff's Office held a public meeting to notify the residents of Canby a Level 3 Predatory Offender has registered in the community. More than 100 people were in attendance.
"It's unusual for Canby but not unusual for a lot of other areas," said Canby Police Chief Isaiah Keating. "The law requires we notify daycare providers, people in the area and hold these meetings. A well-informed community is a safe community."
Brian Michael Vorce, 38, registered with the Canby Police on the 300 block of 6th Street West.
"Vorce's criminal history includes assault and theft and crimes in which intoxicants played a role," said Mark Blivin, DOC community notification supervisor.
Vorce was convicted of criminal sexual conduct with female victims aged 13 and 14 in St. Louis County in 1996 and was placed on probation, according to Blivin. Vorce was known to his victims, Blivin said.
In 1999, Vorce was convicted of criminal sexual conduct with an 8-year-old victim known to Vorce through a relationship and sentenced to 86 months in prison. Vorce was released in January 2013, on conditions he have no contact with minors and keeps in touch with a supervisor.
Vorce was sent back to prison to complete his sentence after failing to keep contact with his supervisor. His sentence expired in July 2013. Vorce must register as a Level 3 high-risk predatory offender for 10 years and keep law enforcement up to date about his residence, employment and vehicles.
However, since Vorce's sentence is expired, there is no requirement not to associate with minors.
"He's free to go about the community," Blivin said. "If you see him doing something questionable, you'd probably like to let law enforcement know. People are not allowed to harass him or commit crimes against him. We have a pretty good record in Minnesota about being vigilant about it but not being vigilantes."
Blivin explained the background of the registration program begun in 1990. In 1997, the law required community notification meetings be held. Since 1990, re-offending rates of released offenders in the three years after release have declined to less than 3 percent.
And according to Blivin, if a registered offender commits an offense, even a minor one, the 10-year registration period can be reset.
Vorce's photo is available on the DOC website under "Level Three Predatory Offender Information," and registered offenders are required to keep photos current if their appearance changes.
"Two times a year, deputies check every registered predatory offender in the county to keep their picture and information current," said Yellow Medicine County Deputy Sheriff Casey Namken.

Oklahoma Use Tax
Every state with a sales tax has a companion tax for purchases made outside the state. In Oklahoma, that tax is called "use tax". If you have purchased items for use in Oklahoma from retailers who do not collect Oklahoma sales tax whether by mail order, catalog, television shopping networks, radio, Internet, phone or in person, you owe Oklahoma use tax on those items. Use tax is paid by the buyer when the Oklahoma sales tax has not been collected by the seller. Individuals in Oklahoma are responsible for paying use tax on their out-of-state purchases.
Examples of items that are subject to sales tax include books, compact discs, computer equipment, computer software, electronics, clothing, appliances, furniture and other home furnishings, sporting goods and jewelry. When an out-of-state retailer does not collect Oklahoma sales tax, the responsibility of paying the tax falls on the purchaser.
Use tax is calculated at the same rate as sales tax, which varies by city and county. The state sales tax rate is 4.5% (.045) plus the applicable city and/or county rates. If you do not know the exact amount of Oklahoma use tax you owe based on your city and county sales tax rate, you can either:
- Use the tax table included in the state tax booklet or multiply your Adjusted Gross Income from line 1 by 0.056% (.00056).
- Use one of the Use Tax worksheets to calculate your Oklahoma use tax. Complete Worksheet One if you kept records of all of your out-of-state purchases. Complete Worksheet Two if you did not keep records of all of your out-of-state purposes.
To reference each Use Tax Worksheet, please refer to the instructions for Form 511.
Note: Your use tax worksheets may be reviewed. If it is determined that you owe more use tax than what is shown on your return, you may be subject to an assessment for the additional use tax.

Kass: On the Contrary
NEW YORK ( Real Money ) -- Let's not lose sight of the fact that, to most investors, the trend is one's friend. Variant views are typically rare (particularly when the trend is as powerful as the last three weeks of market advances), as they can expose managers to not only investment risk but to business risk. At the same time, a variant view near inflection points can deliver alpha or excess returns -- see Apple (AAPL) .
The crowd usually outsmarts the remnants, and the comfort of the herd provides most investors with a security blanket.
Over the past several days the business media has been filled with talking heads who are partying like it is 1999, appearing more bullish than ever and likely disregarding or downplaying the fact that the S&P 500 has risen from 666 to 1500.
Below are the most common epithets I have heard appropriated to justify the talking heads' bullishness (and my quick response in parentheses). These glittering generalities are appealing words closely associated with concepts and beliefs that carry conviction without supporting information or reason:
- "There is no alternative to stocks; bond money will flee equities." (Many classes of investors may remain risk-averse, as there are numerous secular issues facing global economic growth. Moreover, rising interest rates might attract new fixed-income money from investors.)

Hi Guys,
I put up my video using my Pur Minerals product. The look is geared toward Brown Eyes but really it would look good on any eye color. You can see in the video once I used the foundation my skin just warmed up instantly. I really love this foundation!
I used the Paint By Numbers eyeshadow palette and followed the insert to create the most dramatic look for brown eyes. The directions told me which colors to use...I only used three eyeshadows: a red brown, a peach, and a pink. I then used black eyeliner, some mascara and falsies. It was really easy to do. I paired it with my Neolite lipgloss and that was it!
Here's What I Used (All Products Used are by Pur Minerals unless mentioned):
-color correcting primer in peach
-4 in 1 pressed mineral makeup in medium dark
-mineral split plan in mineral glow/mineral light
-blush in plum adalite
-universal pencil in natural (eyebrows)
-eye prep
-beauty in numbers eyeshadow palette: numbers 10, 8, 3
-MAC kohl power pencil in feline
-Revlon Colorstay liquid liner in blackest black
-Model Co. lashes
-MAC zoomlash mascara
-universal pencil in natural
-lipgloss in neolite sunset
For more info, check out the Pur Minerals Blog.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Image Is Everything So Apple Should Pull Products From Walmart, Target Too
Next to Jim Cramer and Howard Stern, I'm the most misunderstood man in showbiz.
Most recently, there was Cheaper Apple iPhone Would Trigger Tim Cook's Departure . That set off a firestorm of but Apple would dominate with a low-end iPhone , especially in emerging markets.
Believe it or not, I agree. But I still don't think they should do a "cheap" -- stress the word "cheap" -- iPhone. Not in price. Not in quality. And the rumor mills say Apple plans to compromise on both.
Before the iPhone article, there was Apple Should Fire Another Nail Into Best Buy's Coffin , where I argue that Apple (AAPL) should pull its products from the hapless retailer .
Again, intuitive yowls of you're nuts, why would Apple remove products from a store that makes them money? .
As I explained at my growing Twitter feed , it stuns me that so many people misunderstand what made/makes Apple successful.
Time for another multi-method stock market ethnography .
On the "cheap" iPhone rumors: I said explicitly I do not believe they are true. We have the same sort of ultimately inaccurate media hysteria happening with this as we did iPad mini. Watch my CNBC appearance where I detailed, before it went down, exactly how things with the iPad mini would go down:
Most others provided hot air. I told you what Apple would do.
Replace "iPad mini" with "cheap iPhone" in that video and you have my feelings here, which, interestingly, Apple SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller appears to agree with ( Credit The Next Web with the story and thanks to Twitter follower @frankymv1 for alerting me to it). Here's what Schiller said in response to these rumors that I, increasingly, want to call idiotic:
A cheaper iPhone willnever be the future of Apple products.
There. Is that clear enough?
And who would have ever thought a.) it would be the future or, worse yet, b.) should be the future of Apple products? While we cannot call Schiller's comments a unilateral squashing of the rumor, I hope it ends up as such. A "cheaper iPhone" has no place whatsoever in Apple's future. Not even a small part of it.
You see, one already exists. Two in fact. They're called the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Sort of like buying a 2009 Mercedes instead of the 2013 model.
If Apple wants to focus on emerging markets, it should focus on the Brazilians who spends thousands in Manhattan boutiques and the Chinese who have run up the price of real estate in places such as Vancouver. Go after the growing high-end in China and India, not the fickle masses.

Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breast Tacos with Grilled Poblanos, BBQ Onions and Coleslaw
- Grilled Poblanos:
- 3 large poblanos
- Canola oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- BBQ Onions:
- 2 sweet onions, skin-on, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
- Canola oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill BBQ Sauce (or your favorite jarred variety)
- Coleslaw:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small head cabbage, cored, finely shredded
- 2 carrots, finely shredded
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- Chicken:
- 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each)
- Canola oil
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 grilled sliced poblanos
- Barbecued onions
- Coleslaw
- Guacamole, recipe follows
- For the poblanos:
- Fire Roasted Green Chile Guacamole:
- 2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, pitted and diced
- 1 poblano chile, roasted, seeded, peeled, and diced
- 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 fresh limes
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Salt and pepper
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe. For the poblanos:
Heat the grill to high.
Brush the poblanos with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the chiles on the grill and cook until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill, place in a bowl and cover with plastic for 10 minutes. Remove the skin, seeds and stem and cut into thin slices.
Brush the onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Brush with some of the bbq sauce during the last few minutes. Most of the skin should come off on the grill, but if not, take it off when the onions come off the grill.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, celery salt, celery seed, vinegar and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, onion and scallion and stir to combine, season with more salt and pepper, if needed. Let slaw sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
Heat the grill to high.
Whisk together the ancho, cinnamon, cumin, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper in a small bowl.
Season top side of the breasts with the rub mixture, turn over and season the back with the remaining salt. Drizzle with some of the oil and place on the grill, rub side down and grill until lightly golden brown and a crust has formed, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken over, close the lid and continue cooking until just cooked through, about 6 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Grill the flour tortillas briefly, just to mark and heat. To build the tacos, fold each tortilla around some of the chicken, poblanos, onions, coleslaw and guacamole.
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Fresh Lemon Mousse
- 3 extra-large whole eggs
- 3 extra-large eggs, separated
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup good bottled lemon curd, at room temperature
- Sweetened Whipped Cream, recipe follows
- Sliced lemon, for garnish
- Sweetened Whipped Cream:
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
In a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together the 3 whole eggs, 3 egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture is thick like pudding. (I change to a whisk when the mixture starts to get thick.) Take off the heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until completely chilled.
Place half the *egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until the whites are stiff and shiny. Carefully fold the beaten whites into the cold lemon mixture with a rubber spatula. Place the cream in the same bowl of the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (no need to clean the bowl) and beat on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Fold in the lemon curd, and pour into a 7-inch-diameter, 3-inch-deep souffle dish. Decorate with sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices that have been cut into quarters. Chill and serve cold.
Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium and then high speed until the cream just forms still peaks. Spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Hi TokyoB,
I bought it at Wang De Chuan in Taipei, Taiwan. They have a counter at the Taipei 101 building where you can try many teas. The guy at the counter (he was very young, like 19-20) was very knowledgeable about tea and was very proficient in foreign languages. The #18 from Upton is the same variety of tea, just not nearly as good as the one from Wang De Chuan, and much more expensive. I haven't found a source that has the same quality of the one I bought in Taiwan, unfortunately. This being said I have only tried the Upton offerings so I don't give up hope yet.

Hi there,
I am considering trying a LR BAGGS pickup, I currently have a fishman mag/mic blend system in a Lowden LSE2 (similar to new stage edition) and although it is versatile I feel the sound could be improved (or rather I am curious to experiment) I still have the EMG under saddle pickup and cabling that was factory installed in the guitar circa 1996 and want to know if I can modify the anthem or lyric system to accomodate the split saddle pickup and wiring already installed. I play solo mainly fingerstyle in dadgad using only a small amount of guitar body percussion, I would like to be able to blend dual sources I think, in order to have versatility in both sound and feedback situations. Does anyone have views on the lyric and/or anthem systems and how they compare to themselves and/or the fishman system?

Boasting advanced technology, a new mango processing facility was inaugurated at the Zarpak Horticulture Products Farm in Multan on August 18, 2011. Local government officials and mango farmers, joined by representatives from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), demonstrated how the new processing facility, installed with USAID support, will significantly improve the farm's ability to export high-quality mangoes around the world. The farm's productivity has already increased 15 percent since installing the new processing technology.
"We could not afford modern machines," said a farm worker. "Thanks to the American people, we received not only the latest machines, but also learned how to operate them. Now we can do better work, earn more income, and have a safer work environment." The new mango processing line, installed at the Zarpak Horticulture Products Farm, enables the farm to ship large quantities of quality mangoes to Europe, the Far East, and the Middle East by sea, significantly reducing transportation costs. By September 2011, nearly fifteen farms across Pakistan will be equipped with the new processing technology.
"Through projects such as this, USAID is helping Pakistanis to adopt new technologies, develop work force, find new markets, and ultimately, earn more revenues," USAID Director for Pakistan Andrew Sisson said.
Infrastructure upgrades and increased mango exports will lead to increased revenue, profits, and employment, boosting the economies of Southern Punjab and northern Sindh.

Up 1485.
This is the first really good week of football. Last week was good, this week is great. I like some of the crappier games, but I am going to try to stay on the bigger games that I am actually going to watch.
MD +16.5 for 200. I like FSU... alot, but I am buying a little of the MD hype. I would feel better if the game was not Tallahassee, but 16.5 is a lot for an unproven team to give another unproven team.
I really want to take Minny +19 against scUM, but I cannot sort out the hatred that I have for scUM from my real feelings for the game. scUM is just not good but this week they are coming off a bye week where I am sure they had to have done something and it is only the Golden Gophers for crying outloud. Screw it.... Minny +19 for 50.
Oklahoma -9 for 200 against TCU.
Ohio State -6.5 for 400(in the interest of full disclosure, the line ranges from 6.5-7.5 on this one)
Stanford -8 vs. Washington for 150. I just am not sure what to make of UW, 8 seems like a pretty big number, but I think Stanford will make it happen.

Today, in Geneva, Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Ellen Tauscher spoke to the annual meeting of the States Parties to the Biological Weapons Convention. Under Secretary Tauscher shared President Obama's new National Strategy for Countering Biological Threats and outlined the broad goals of the strategy. The Under Secretary said:
"First, we will work with the international community to promote the peaceful and beneficial use of life sciences, in accordance with the BWC's Article Ten, to combat infectious diseases regardless of their cause. We will work to promote global health security by increasing the availability of and access to knowledge and products of the life sciences to help reduce the impact from outbreaks of infectious disease whether of natural, accidental or deliberate origin.
Second, we will work toward establishing and reinforcing norms against the misuse of the life sciences. We need to ensure a culture of responsibility, awareness, and vigilance among all who use and benefit from the life sciences to ensure that they are not diverted to harmful purpose.
Third, we will implement a coordinated approach to influence, identify, inhibit, and interdict those who seek to misuse scientific progress to harm innocent people. We will seek to obtain timely and accurate information on the full spectrum of threats and challenges. This information will allow us to take appropriate actions to manage the evolving risk.
Finally, and most relevant to this body, we want to reinvigorate the Biological Weapons Convention as the premier forum for global outreach and coordination. The Biological Weapons Convention embodies the international community's determination to prevent the misuse of biological materials as weapons. But it takes the active efforts of its States Parties – individually, and collectively – to uphold these commitments that continue to bolster the BWC as a key international norm.
The United States wants to work to ensure that this is the principal forum dedicated to these issues. We appreciate and applaud this forum's past efforts, and commit to engaging fully as we work together towards our common goals."Full Text

The most important or critical part about this situation is "How to educate the Public if or when a Nuclear Device is activated, and how will the Governors of States handle the emergency crisis and have plans on hand to evacuate the public at large?
1. CHARCOAL = This black substance is very useful during a Chemical or Biological attack. It can filter air, water, and even if poisoned check with your parametics and Doctor before taking but liquid charcoal can be admitted to help save a life, just add water to charcoal and drink. not very tasty but it just might help.
2. Always remember your whole body, head to toes, should be covered using rubber suites or whatever you can find to prevent the radiation or biological agent from burning your skin. You should also use face masks which have charcoal filters to filter out the bad chemicals. This would allow you the ability to breath air through your mask. You can also improvise if needed. Duct tape, with a respirator and a can just punch holes in a can, fill with charcoal.
3. Thinking when Hurricane Katrina happened the State of Louisiana was not prepared and blamed their own tragedies on the Federal Government. They have the nerve to place blame when they themselves had the time, a budget to put a plan in effect to help their own people. The politicans of the State of Louisiana let their own people down by not arming themselves with a plan to properly evacuate the public. This mistake costs lives. Did the Federal Government make mistakes as well, sure but State Law Makers are suppose to have the interest of the public safety for there people in minds.
Whether you live in Virginia or United Kingdom every country in the world should have an evacuation plan in place to help the public survive any major emergency situations. Remember always think about shelters, hospitals and even most of your military bases have a means to help people during emergencies. Personally, if one of these things goes off, I plan on finding the biggest cave and having a BBQ.
Godbless and Merry Christmas, Happy New Years to everyone!!!

Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Cat Marter MUSCLE MILK!!! I have noticed an increase in muscle mass as well as a decrease in fat since I have began using muscle milk. I began using muscle milk everyday after my workout this summer, and I have been generally satisfied. Muscle Milk is a little difficult to mix, but other than that no complaints. July 23, 2012

|Volkl Organix V1 Pro Scores
After we got a sneak peek of the V1 Pro while it was in development, we couldn't wait for its release to the world. This offering from Volkl will appeal to the masses because it offers something for just about any type of player. From the first strike of the ball we noticed the classic plush feel that we love from Volkl racquets. It's much softer and more comfortable than its high stiffness rating would lead you to believe. However, what that high stiffness level does give you is lots of pop and a very responsive feel off the stringbed. The thin beam then provides great control and even more feel for all of your touch shots. Put that all together and what do you get? A modern player's racquet that, depending on the string setup, is suitable for recreational club players all the way up to high level heavy hitters. I know we've said this before, but we'll say it again with conviction: Give this one a try!
Our playtesters found the V1 Pro to be comfortable and easy to use from virtually any position on the baseline. Chris loved its feel and said it helped him tap into his full arsenal of groundstrokes. He explained, "With its soft, plush and comfortable feel, I really enjoyed the response of this racquet from the baseline. I really liked the touch and control I found on drop shots and placement shots. I liked using a string like Volkl Cyclone because it provided even more control, yet the racquet still felt comfortable. Spin was also very easy to generate with that setup. The racquet felt nice and fast, so it was easy to get the racquet speed needed to find lots of spin. I really enjoyed hitting angles with this racquet as well as changing direction of play and hitting aggressive down-the-line shots. It felt like I could put the ball where I wanted and get it there with plenty of pace."
The racquet lands right in Brittany's desired spec range, and sure enough, she really enjoyed it from the baseline. She said, "I really liked playing with the Volkl Organix V1 MP, so I was super excited to try out the Pro version. When I looked at the specs I realized they were exactly what I look for in a racquet, and when I got on the court this racquet did not disappoint! I thought it had a little less power and little more control than the Midplus version, which I found matched my playing style perfectly. The racquet was very comfortable to play with and the size of the sweetspot was about average (not too big, not too small). I found my slice to be extremely effective and very helpful when I was forced to play defensively."
Andy found a plush and solid feel, but a bit too much power at times. He offered, "The V1 Pro was very solid from the baseline, with great feel. It's far softer and more comfortable than its 68 RA would suggest. I thought it was a little slow through the air when I played against big hitters, but for the most part it played very nicely off both sides. There was enough weight in the hoop to really knife the slice and provide stability on balls hit off-center. There's a lot of pop in this racquet, just like the other Organix racquets, so there were a couple of instances when I tried to really crank one and the ball ended up sailing way long. However, I found I could hit big groundstrokes off both sides consistently with this racquet."
It was an easy adjustment for Michelle, who, like Brittany, enjoys racquets with similar specs to this one. She said, "This racquet was effortless for me to use. Every time I picked it up I was amazed at how well it worked for me. This racquet played consistently well from the first ball strike to the last, and there was a lot to like about it. It was amazing on backhand slices and backhand drives. I would love to add some weight because it did feel slightly unstable and didn't have the plow through that I enjoy in my preferred setup. The one area I struggled with was accelerating through on my finish. However, it was easy to bang balls back and forth with the V1 Pro and it was maneuverable for me off the baseline; even if my feet were out of position I could swing the racquet through easily to combat anything that came at me. I also enjoyed the access to spin from this racquet and felt that I could easily mix up my flatter balls with heavier spin. I felt like there wasn't too much power, but it didn't feel like it was lacking power, either. There wasn't power like a Pure Drive, but it was not as dead as a Blade."
The soft, plush feel was the standout feature on volleys for our playtest team. "I loved to volley with this racquet," said Brittany. "If I had to describe my favorite characteristic of this racquet when volleying, it would have to be the feel. I loved the feel of this racquet and felt I could do so much with the volley, from punching the ball deep in the court to hitting a short angle out wide. I found the V1 Pro to be much more stable than the Midplus."
Michelle also raved about the feel the V1 Pro at net, as well as the racquet's maneuverability. She said, "This racquet was a dream to volley with. It was super maneuverable, making it easy to get into position to block back bigger balls, or I could add a bit of pace with depth to my volley."
Chris used the great feel of the V1 Pro to help him with his finesse volleys. He explained, "The feel and control of this racquet was superb at net. I felt very dialed in on my touch and drop volleys. Again, the comfort was excellent and the racquet had a very smooth and plush feel at contact. It was easy to maneuver and felt very fast during reaction volleys. I would have liked just a tad more mass behind the ball to help me find more depth and stability, but that is an easy fix. Just like on my groundstrokes, it was easy to get spin when cutting under the ball, and that helped me hit my drop volleys nice and short."
Rounding out the crew was Andy, who enjoyed the feel and stability but struggled at times with the maneuverability. He said, "This racquet was very solid and plush up around the net. It offered great stability when I was stretched wide and good touch on soft volleys. Once again, it's way softer and plusher than its high stiffness rating would indicate. I did find it tough to maneuver at times on reaction volleys, but that added weight in the hoop is also responsible for the nice stability the racquet offers."
Our team found easy access to power and spin with the V1 Pro, but a couple of our testers found it to be a bit cumbersome, especially after being on court for a while. Michelle had no issues though, as she was able to hit a variety of serves. She said, "I enjoyed this racquet while serving because it made serving feel effortless. I could gain a bit of extra movement and power off my serve, and it was easy to hit my targets. The weight was just about perfect, and I felt like this racquet helped simplify my serve. I had no problems hitting my kick, slice and flat serves with this racquet."
Chris also found serving to be an easy task, though he would've liked a little more weight for hitting even heavier serves. He explained, "I found decent pace serving with this racquet, but it was a little light to be ideal for me. I did manage an ace here and there, but with a little lead tape in the hoop I think I could add even more pace and hit a heavier serve. Spin was good, and I was able to find some nice slice and topspin. I liked the directional control I was finding and the level of comfort was excellent. The racquet came through the ball easily, and this is a racquet I could swing all day without tiring my arm."
Andy once again struggled with the maneuverability of the V1 Pro. He offered, "Once I got the racquet moving I could really bomb serves with the V1 Pro or get a spin serve really moving. However, even though the swingweight is listed lower than I normally like, I once again found it hard to maneuver this racquet and get it moving quickly over my head. I felt like I really had to muscle it to get the racquet moving through the hitting zone, and because of that I didn't feel like I had as much control on my serves as I'd like. However, it does offer nice access to power and spin."
Brittany also had mixed emotions about serving with this racquet, saying, "There were times I loved it, and there were times I wasn't as thrilled. I found I had to put in a lot of effort to get momentum. When I was playing a match I had no trouble serving consistently. However, as the match wore on I found my arm getting a little tired. If I had to pick one serve that was my favorite to hit it would have to be the wide serve to the deuce court. I found a lot of success with this serve, including several aces (sorry, Spencer!)."
The general consensus of the team was positive with the V1 Pro when returning serve. Andy enjoyed the plush and stable feel, especially when returning defensively, but he still wanted a more head-light setup. He explained, "Maneuverability is important to me on returns, so all the weight in the hoop of this racquet made it a little challenging to return with for me. It was awesome for chipping back returns deep into the court, where the stability of the racquet really shone. However, I found it difficult to time the returns when I was stepping in and trying to take the ball early. Once again, great feel, very solid, just tough to swing at times."
Michelle wished for a little more weight to help fend off some bigger serves. She said, "Returns were another area where I could have used a bit of extra mass from the V1 Pro. It was solid, but I felt like I was lacking a bit of stability when returning bigger serves, and I had a tendency to get slappy on weaker second serves. It was maneuverable but slightly unstable for me. Again, that plow through that I enjoy was missing when returning."
Though she typically prefers a lighter racquet when returning, the V1 Pro worked well for Brittany. She said, "While I would say the racquet isn't as maneuverable as the Midplus version, I had no problems getting my racquet into position and taking big cuts at the ball. I was impressed with the stability and felt very comfortable returning big first serves and second serves that kicked up above my shoulders (thanks, Andy!)."
"This was one of my favorite shots to hit with the V1 Pro," said Chris. "I was able to whip the racquet around quickly, and that helped me catch up to even the fastest serves. I liked the precision when driving the ball and felt confident going for aggressive targets. I was getting some nice topspin and slice, which helped me keep the ball inside the lines even on a powerful swing. I also loved the feel and control when chipping a low slice backhand return and following it to net in doubles. With its maneuverable feel I felt confident stepping inside the court to take the return early and steal the net advantage away from the serving team. When staying back in doubles, or when playing singles, I liked the easy access to pace and spin. I was able to vary both the direction and pace of my returns to keep my opponent guessing."
Chris - "I loved the feel, control, spin, maneuverability and comfort, and even the cosmetics!"
Brittany - "First and foremost, I loved the feel of this racquet from all areas of the court. Secondly, I loved the combination of power and control for my playing style."
Michelle - "I loved how easy it was to pick this racquet up and play well. It has a consistent feel of controllable power to me. I loved volleying, serving and slicing. As with all Volkl racquets, I can just feel how great the craftsmanship is when this racquet is in my hands. It's user friendly in all areas!"
Andy - "Great feel, very solid from all areas of the court, and nice access to power and spin."
Chris - "A tad light for me at its stock weight, but I will definitely be adding some lead tape to this racquet to see how it plays at my preferred spec (about 12.6 ounces strung, 10 points head light and a 325-ish swingweight)."
Brittany - "There isn't much that I don't like about this racquet. If I had to be nitpicky, I would say that it was not my favorite racquet to serve with."
Michelle - "I wouldn't mind adding a bit of mass to make it a bit more stable, to make it easier to whip through my groundies with my faster swings and to gain some plow through."
Andy - "It was tough to maneuver at times, but that may be because I prefer a more head-light setup."
Chris - "This racquet did not feel quite as crisp and lively as the regular Organix V1 Midplus when I used a compact swing. However, this racquet is all about feel, control and precision. It is tough to find a comparable racquet, but I think the Donnay Formula 100 is somewhat close. I'm also reminded of the old Wilson Kobra, as that was also a modern feeling racquet but at a more flexible and comfortable spec."
Brittany - "This is easily one of my favorite playtest racquets this year. I have to say that I liked it a little bit more than the Midplus version for two reasons. It was more stable and it had a little more control (not as much power)."
Michelle - "I haven't spent too much time with Volkl racquets, other than the Organix 7, but they all have that classic Volkl feel - solid and well made. This racquet felt more comfortable, had more control and less plow through, and was more maneuverable than my favorite setup, the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick. I also preferred it when slicing."
Andy - "It felt similar to a Wilson Juice Pro or a Wilson Blade 98 16x19, but with that familiar Volkl feel that you'd get from the Organix 10 or Power Bridge 10. It's a great modern player's racquet that can suit a wide variety of players, depending on the string setup. Throw a nice multifilament or natural gut in there and your 3.0-4.5 club player could use it, or use a polyester string and an Open level player would find more than enough control."

Amazing! Everything they serve except tortillas are gluten free. Thank you Chipotle, I wish other restaurants could figure out that fresh food does not need to have gluten in it.
306 S. 9th Street, Columbia, MO 65201
They took all the precautions to make sure my meal was gluten free: changed gloves, washed hands, changed spoons, and got new tubs of the items they often stick their hand in (cheese and lettuce). I did not get sick.
211 Sutter St, San Francisco, CA 94104
Stick with the crispy tacos and you're fine
4840 Forest Dr., Suite 16, Forest Arres, SC 29206
I'm impressed! They were able to accommodate all of my diet restrictions: gluten free, no refined carbs, and no added sugar. They even went as far as replacing all serving utensils and changed gloves b4 making my food.
5 Bel Air South Parkway, Bel Air, MD 21014
Almost everything is gluten-free and they will change gloves if requested. I've eaten here many times with no issues.
910 E. Coliseum Blvd., Ft. Wayne, IN 46805
Great food and service
1501 3rd Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101
Chipotle can be gluten free if you know how to work the system. here's the trick I use: order online and specify in the instructions that you're allergic to gluten and to have them change their gloves. this will ensure your meal is prepared properly even if there's a long line. then only get meat, rice and beans (I don't get beans because it's cheaper that way). they handle a lot of the veggies with glutened gloves and this way only one person needs to change their gloves because the meat and rice are right next to each other, away from the veggies.
2912 W Loop 289, Lubbock, TX 79407
Staff and management are VERY well educated and aware of cross contamination. They changed gloves and utensils and washed hands and surfaces. I felt very comfortable feeding my celiac daughter here. Most chipotle restaurants and good, this one is exceptional!
15980 S. Harlem Ave., Tinley Park, IL 60477
Food is good. But I ordered online and specified gluten free. They didn't bother to look at the note and the food I got was clearly not gluten free.
211 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15222
I order a burrito bowl with coworkers special instructions they gave me a burrito I had to walk all the way back and never got Refunding .. the food line is such a mess cross contamination is a definite and they constantly run out of main ingredients .. like rice ?! .. if you place on online order here you may end up waiting longer than the people ordering in line and prepare for it to be wrong

This was a exceptional Chipotle. I mentioned I had a wheat allergy and they without question changed gloves, serving spoons, and even pulled out a separate cheese and lettuce supply. They even took the time to wipe down the counter to prevent any sort of cross contamination! Edit: I came back to lower my review from 5 to 4 stars. Basically, this place is hit or miss with when it comes to allergies. It depends on who is serving you. Some of their staff knows what to do and others do not. Thankfully, no one has complained or looked annoyed when I asked them to change gloves or get the cheese from the second container.

Great on the run fast food that's not fried foods. Taste great pretty much the entire counter is GF other then the wraps. Let the server know and they will change gloves. They also have a card that will tell you what's all gluten free if your unsure.
1528 Georgesville Rd., Columbus, OH 43228
One person will change gloves and make your bowl. Only "glutened" once out of a year of visits.
8154 Montgomery Rd., Madeira, OH 45236
Friendly and careful staff. Willing to take all extra steps to accommodate celiac orders.
2314 S. Shore Center Dr., Alameda, CA 94501
Pretty safe if you tell them about allergy. I go with crispy shells just cause corn is warmed up in same place as flour. chips are safe as well.
3663 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
I have eaten here twice and not gotten sick (Celiac). Just as safe as every other Chipotle.
4829 N Broadway St, Knoxville, TN 37918
While not having a gluten free menu, they will take the item and modify it for the allergy listed. Very good and polite
7707 W. Ridgewood Dr., Parma, OH 44129
This was first time trying to eat out since diagnosis! When the lead hear me ask if their chips are gf she immediately took off her gloves washed hands and grabbed new ones. She grabbed lettuce out of the fridge since they grab that with their hands and she never made me feel like an inconvenience!
810 W. Grace St., Richmond, VA 23220
Ordered gf corn tortillas & guac, and informed manager I am gluten allergic. She made quite a show of changing her gloves and handed me a paper bag of chips. It was so good I couldn't stand it. THEN I GOT SO SICK -- YES, I was GLUTENED here and will never eat here again.
1475 Western Avenue, Albany, NY 12203
Love this place. They change gloves and get new guacamole / cheese / lettuce for you (stuff that may have touched gloves that touched flour tortillas). Never get glutened here and I'm very sensitive.
3663 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
Quick and easy gluten free food. I do ask them to change their gloves and wash their hands before doing my meal, and I have the same person do my whole meal. I love the bowls. Never have gotten sick.
5176 Richmond Ave., Houston, TX 77056
Most Chipotle restaurants are quite good and well trained. Not this one! As she was asking me what I wanted, she was pulling a flour tortilla out of the stack. I said that I needed Gluten free. She seemed confused but then found the allergen card, and proceeded to try to tell me the flour tortillas did NOT have Gluten. English seemed to be a problem, so she got someone else to help me who at least had a rudimentary understanding of the issue and changed her gloves. Much more training and standardization needed to bring this store up to normal Chipotle standards.
1290 Arsenal St, Watertown, NY 13601
Good food on the go. Ask them to change gloves.
7431 Westbranch Hwy, Lewisburg, PA 17837
They always listen (and do to what we need to meet my daughters Celiac needs). My daughter gets a burrito bowl with "Virgin" rice, pork and cheese. We eat here often with no issues and it's just delicious fresh food.
26420 Great Northern Shop Center, North Olmsted, OH 44070
Excellent gluten free bowls and corn shell tacos. Knowledgeable staff.
6316 Tussing Rd., Reynoldsburg, OH 43068
When we asked them to change their gloves, they offered to get us fresh sides and clean spoons...even with a huge line they were accommodating. Thanks!
2241 N. Maize Rd., Wichita, KS 67205
Best Chipotle for a Celiac that I have ever been to! They took time to not only change gloves, but also to wash hands, change the spoons, and lift out fresh cheese and lettuce.
1038 S. Mill Ave., Tempe, AZ 85281
Amaizing celiac experience!!! Changed spoons, cleaned entire area! Everyone was knowledgable, stated that gluten free is the first thing they are taught!!! Say they average about 10 gf a day!!!!
3324 Promenade Ave., Suite 107, Eagan, MN 55121
It depends on who is working that day. Some are ok, others will be annoyed by the request to change gloves and use extra caution. Don't get cheese on your meal. Even if the person preparing your meal had clean gloves on, all others have stuck their hands into the cheese after handling a flour tortilla. no one ever offered to get cheese or other topping from a fresh container for me. I won't go back.
270-276 Elm St., Somerville, MA 02144
Chipotle is always a great gluten free "fast food" option! Love their burrito bowls.
400 West State Rd. 436, Altamonte Springs, FL 32714
Awesome service! The lady immediately changed her gloves when I told her I had a gluten allergy and was very careful making my bowl. Food was delicious and no adverse reactions.
371 Howe Ave., Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221
I highly recommend this restaurant. I'm a very sensitive Celiac and I never have a problem at this location. They change gloves and spoons as soon as you mention gluten problems, and will even take out fresh ingredients if asked. Hannah and Maxx are especially careful ... ask for them!
1260 N. Fry Rd., Houston, TX 77084
Chipotle has an extensive gluten-free menu. I was able to eat everything except for the tortillas. I had a burrito bowl with beef and park, salsa, beans, corn, and chips.
9965 Hudson Rd., Woodbury, MN 55125
Chipotle is always a go to when out for me. I either get the burrito bowl or corn tortilla tacos. This location is very accommodating. I always ask for them to change their gloves and to warm my tortillas between foil. I also ask if they can use fresh ingredients too. They always are friendly about my requests.
2301 Glades Rd., Unit C, Boca Raton, FL 33431
Not celiac friendly at all. Was sick after eating a bowl with only rice, beans, and cheese. Avoid.
3305 W. Central Ave., Toledo, OH 43606
As soon as we said we needed gluten, the server washed his hands and put on new gloves. The rest went great and nobody got sick. We will definitely eat there again.
2082 Ford Pkwy, St. Paul, MN 55116
Go with hard shells and no reaction to gluten
300 E. Ogden Ave., Westmont, IL 60559
I do a burrito bowl, skip the rice, barraca, and all the fixings. so good!
4910 E 2nd St, Casper, WY 82609
Great customer service! Server knew how to handle someone with celiac. He changed gloves and serving utensil and walked my order clear through to make sure it was safe
1630 W State St, Alliance, OH 44601
By far the best chipotle I have EVER been to as far as taking care of celiacs...they are AMAZING! I go about once a week and never get sick, and they are the most friendly staff I have ever encountered at a chipotle. Very knowledgeable and kind!
2600 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55404
AWESOME!! Chipotle is great for people with celiac disease! I love their food it's amazing and it's so goooood...... Totally recommend it
don't get any toppings they have to grab with their hands! really hard to avoid cc. other than that's it's great. I tell them I have a gluten allergy and they know the protocols. everything is gluten free excerpt the tortillas. You can get a corn quesadilla even and they wrap it in foil to put it in the press. I've never gotten sick here. it would be super cool if they had dairy free sour cream. but no where does, so.
2100 S Telegraph Rd, Bloomfield Hills, MI 48302
They are trained how to handle a guest with celiac. They wash hands, use new utensils, and change gloves.
7332 Baltimore Ave., College Park, MD 20740
your typical Chipotle. Come educated because you get very little help at the counter. pretty reliable still have not gotten sick at a Chipotle
213 Maple Ave. E, Vienna, VA 22180
Workers here are very friendly and totally willing to accommodate to celiacs. Ask them to change their gloves and they will, no questions asked.Everything except the flour tortillas is gluten free. So no burritos or quesadillas. But burrito bowls, chips, all the meats, all the extras are fine.I have never gotten sick from eating at this chipotle.
3362 Center Rd, Space E-03, Brunswick, OH 44212
I am an extremely sensitive celiac and feel confident in most Chipotle resturants..for the most part. This particular location goes above any other ones I have been too. We now regularly order online and have never had and issue..the good places change spoons fyi:)
2424 Farm to Market Road 685, Pflugerville, TX 78660
Fabulous attention by staff when I mentioned Celiac disease and asked them to change their gloves. They even pulled out unused cheese and lettuce from the fridge to use in my bowl since they had used gluten covered gloves in the ones that were on the line.
6924 S. Park Centre Dr., Cottonwood Heights, UT 84121
First attempt at being gluten free. The server changed gloves and used fresh cheese so as not to touch the cheese that had been touched by previous gloves. They completely exceeded my expectations

Schools chief sees silver lining in low enrollments
By LETITIA STEIN
Published November 18, 2006
TAMPA - Florida's stagnating student enrollment has a silver lining, Education Commissioner John Winn said Friday.
The state's teacher shortage could become less acute, and reducing class sizes may be less costly. "We do see a trend on slower growth than we've had in the past," said Winn, who noted this is the third consecutive year fewer students showed up statewide than were expected.
Hoping to do better next year, Winn wants to incorporate economic indicators like home sales, bankruptcies and business openings and closings into the computer models used to project student enrollment.
This year, statewide enrollment increased by fewer than 500 students, about 48,000 fewer than expected. Winn thinks it is the smallest enrollment increase in 25 years.
School districts have speculated that higher property and insurance costs are hurting enrollment.
In Hillsborough, a rash of apartment complexes converting to condominiums led to declines in some neighborhoods, Winn said.
He stressed that state officials have no way of knowing about such micro changes and depend on individual districts to track local trends.
Statewide, Winn said, migration patterns are changing. Fewer students entered Florida in 2005-06 than in the previous year, excluding one-time events like Hurricane Katrina evacuees. At the same time, more students left the state. "That's a pretty big shift," Winn said.
When enrollment projections miss their mark, school districts take the hit in their pocketbooks. Their budgets are based on anticipated enrollment.

MC Concert Choir's "We Are Not Alone" spring choir tour set for March 13-18
MC Concert Choir's "We Are Not Alone" spring choir tour set for March 13-18
March 1, 2013
Contact: Chloe Kennedy, News and New Media Writer

"We Are Not Alone" is the theme of the Maryville College Concert Choir's 2013 Spring Choir Tour, set for March 13-18. Performances are scheduled for churches and high schools in upper East Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina.
"This year's theme explores the idea of how we are never truly alone; that the love of God, of family, friends and even strangers follows each of us through our daily journey of life," said Stacey Wilner, coordinator of choral music at Maryville College.
During the tour, the Concert Choir will perform Pepper Choplin's "You Are Not Alone," which is the inspiration for the tour theme. Other selections include "Salvation is Created" by Pavel Tschesnokoff; "The Lamb" by John Tavener; "Prayer of the Children" by Kurt Bestor; and "Witness" by Jack Halloran.
"And of course, we must celebrate the connection with our Scottish/Celtic heritage with music such as 'Loch Lomond' arranged by Jonathan Quick and 'Dulaman' by Michael McGlynn," Wilner said.
Three small vocal ensembles comprised of MC Concert Choir members will also perform. "Off Kilter" is a small auditioned ensemble comprised of upperclassmen. The group presents more recent music and arrangements by the British a capella ensemble King's Singers. The "Lads" is a men's ensemble, and the "Lassies" is a women's ensemble, and both groups were formed in fall 2011 from student interest and initiative.
The traditional Choir Tour Send-Off is scheduled for Wed., March 13 at 12:15 p.m. in the Clayton Center for the Arts' William Baxter Lee III Grand Foyer. The choir will perform a mini-concert, which is open to the public. Also during the event, the choir will begin selling its newly released CD, titled "A Celebration of Gratitude," which includes recordings from the 2012 Scotland Choir Tour.
The choir's annual Homecoming Concert is scheduled for Tues., March 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the Clayton Center for the Arts' Ronald and Lynda Nutt Theatre. The concert is free and open to the public.
