20/20 TAKE A shop that hits the jackpot with consumers thanks to a bountiful array of product and customized services
In the optical business since 1969, Marvin Freeman took a chance when, on the invitation of a friend, he moved to Las Vegas in 1992 to open Davante, a high-end optical boutique in the newly created Forum Shops. Freeman was one of more than 25 optical retailers applying for a space in the upscale theme mall adjacent to Caesars Palace hotel and the only one accepted. "At that point there was no retail atmosphere in Vegas. People had money from gambling, but nowhere to spend it," Freeman notes. HIS gamble paid off many times over.The retailer now has 11 stores, with eight in Las Vegas, including one in the new 175,000 square-foot, three-level Caesars Forum expansion. The expansion includes an array of upscale specialty retail shops and restaurants and one of only two spiral escalators in the U.S. With prime frontage on Las Vegas Boulevard, the new space is already one of the highest yielding retail areas in North America. Davante is sharing in that success. After only six months in business, it became Freeman's number one store in sales, passing the boutique in the Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes. And fortunately, the original Caesars Forum shop has not been adversely affected. It, in fact, has shown a slight increase in sales in the past year. Freeman attributes this to the fact the original store was converted into a sunglass-only shop. What's special about the new store—in addition to its spectacular location next to Joe's Stone Crab, the legendary Miami Beach restaurant—is at 1,700 square feet, it's the largest of Freeman's Las Vegas stores. "What customers like about this store is there is more space. They can walk around and look. We can pull out eight or nine frames at a time. It's also the most expensive store we ever designed with such extras as tiles imported directly from Italy," the retailer says. Another distinguishing characterize is it was the first of the stores to have customized, supplier-identified cases built for individual vendors. Featured in these cabinets are Cartier, Chanel, Fendi, Oliver Peoples and Tag Heuer. Three of the collections have their own video playing in the case. In addition to these collections, the store displays frames from 33 vendors for a total of 3,000 pieces. Lines range from Oakley to Judith Leiber, Bulgari, Ferre, Missoni, Christian Roth, Mikli, Retrospecs, Kieselstein-Cord and Kirk Originals. All frames are on display and there are no duplicates. "We encourage customers to buy what they like because it might not be there tomorrow. This works well with the tourist mentality," Freeman explains. "Of course, because we have so many stores, we can always get a back-up style from another location if needed." The average price for a purchase in the new store is $350 with prices going to $26,000 for a Cartier frame with diamonds. The best-selling collection is Chanel. "We sell 200 Chanels a month at the new location alone," he notes.Sixty percent of the customers are local and 40 percent are tourists, the retailer says, in large part because "we stopped doing an Rx business in the other Forum location. After 13 years, we had gathered quite a customer base, who are now coming to our new shop." In contrast, his two shops at the Venetian Hotel have an 80 to 85 percent tourist-based clientele.In addition to providing a wide variety of products, Davante offers extensive customer service, including long business hours. The new store is open from 10 a.m. to midnight 365 days a year. Davante also has its own lab located at its corporate headquarters in Las Vegas. "We do a lot ofcustom work on temples, including diamond placements, and a lot of custom nosepads," Freeman says. "We will even buy discontinued frames at our expense in order to provide replacement parts for our customers. We also do same-day progressive lenses for customers if they are leaving town that day." The lab additionally does many tints, creating exclusive colors, and polarization, a business that is big and still growing, he notes. For all of his stores, Freeman uses the same approach. "We dazzle our customers with variety to show them what the optical world has to offer," he says. "And we tell each and every customer the face is the first thing people look at. It's not the shoes or the handbag or other accessories. It's the face, the eyes and logically the eyewear. It is Davante's mission to make each and every face look special." n

Introduction | Science | Tools | Partners
The Sahelian countries (CILSS) are among the poorest countries in the world with the most degraded environments. They are also among the countries that are the most vulnerable to the estimated effects of climate change. This makes the region an area to focus regional and international attention on, in respect to the possible effects of climate change and its potential linkages to migration and/or conflict.
UNEP's study focuses on the nine countries that form the Permanent Inter-State Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (Comité Permanent Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse dans le Sahel, CILSS), namely, Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Cape Verde, Mauritania, Mali, Chad, Niger, Gambia and Burkina Faso. Part of CILSS's mandate is to direct efforts towards natural resources management and food security.
The study seeks to: 1) identify how and where climate change exacerbates existing vulnerabilities in the Sahel;2) analyze its potential links to conflict and/or migration; 3) assess current policies that address the climate, conflict and migration nexus, and raise awareness, catalyze support; and finally, 4) inform investments to meet emerging climate change adaptation needs.

VOICE OF THE NATION - The Weak in Review
Vintage Flame
December 11 2011 01:53PM
For most of the season we have tried to dissect the play of the Flames and where it was going wrong and ultimately where was it headed. Many of the fans were emphatic about not seeing this team struggle for the first half like last season and then attempt to make another miracle run at the post season. It didn't work last year, it wouldn't work this year, and ultimately it was going to pre-emptively ruin what the Flames needed to do going into the draft to right this wayward ship.
Let's be honest, the month of November was nothing short of infuriating frustration for the fans, the players and the coach. Every time the Flames approached the .500 mark with an impressive showing or surprising defeat of a superior opponent, it was followed by a disastrous effort mired in chaos. Huge wins against Detroit, Chicago and Minnesota were mirrored two fold with losses to Buffalo and Minnesota, Columbus and St. Louis, then Nashville and... Oh Columbus again.
After the game against the Blue Jackets on Dec. 1st, there were 19,289 people that the Flames should have been worried about, and the ironic part is that not a single one of them has a NMC attached to their season ticket packages. That didn't stop the fans and the media from pushing the topic of trade talks onto the Flames, and specifically Jay Feaster. The fans were on the brink and it was getting to the point where they wanted change or they wanted blood.
Who would be the first to go? Would Sutter be fired, especially in the wake of Paul Maurice and Bruce Boudreau being shown the door in Carolina and Washington respectively? Well, Bruce got hired 2 days later by the Ducks, when they fired Randy Carlyle, so did that mean Randy would replace Brent? No, instead the Flames stood by what they have been telling everyone for the entire season; no one is going anywhere. As far as the other side of the coin, i.e. making a significant trade? Well, Jay addressed that yet again with a slightly more agitated response than he has usually offered.
If anything the Flames management and coaching staff has given a 100% effort in making do with what they are stuck with this season. Fans may not like the moves that saw players leave (ie. Langkow & Regehr), or players that were retained (ie. Babchuk), but the organization has done well to move out declining assets in favour of building a positive future; or so we all hope. I'm not personally one that has bought into the speculation that Feaster could have garnered a better return on the two veterans, and I'll even go so far as to throw in the Erixon deal as well.
Butler has done an impressive job for the most part, being thrown into the top-2 pairing and has by no means looked like the reason for the Flames record. I am also pretty sure the Flames would be sitting pretty close to their current position, even if they still had Regehr manning the blueline.
Byron in his limited time up with the Parent Club did some really good things. He has speed to burn and showed some deft puck-handling, and even managed to pot a few goals. He has some room for development, but let's face it, that could probably be said for everyone on the team this year, rookie or vet. Paul is most likely going to end up on both sides of the pro/con argument when it comes to the whole issue of Feaster's 'Meritocracy'. He provided a spark to the line up and was earning his playing time. If not for the technicality that, when Comeau was claimed, he was the only player that the Flames would not have to put through the waiver process, he would probably still be with the team. He was a victim of the lack of contract flexibility this team has, that we have all come to frequently point out.
As I said though, there is also the 'con' side. It is unlikely Byron will be brought back up now, despite Feaster's promise to make that promotion soon. With Morrison back in the line up and playing very well [he has 6 pts in 2 games and has been the 1st star both nights], the Flames are most likely wanting to see how this plays out. Add to the fact that David Moss should be returning soon, and that spells it out quite clearly for Paul Byron.
Horak has to be seen as a bright spot for this organization. Forced into trading Erixon left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth, fans and management alike, but Roman has made a believer of many and less of a sceptic for the others. I have stated on many occasions how impressed I have been with his play in regards to how smart he is with the puck and the composure he demonstrates at such a young age. The points haven't been bountiful yet but, the kid also plays a lot in the defensive zone and has held his own against higher quality competition. Horak just might have people thinking that he has a higher ceiling than originally thought when the Flames made the deal for the once viewed nobody. Despite being re-assigned to the minors on Friday, I look forward to seeing how he fits in with the new generation and the likes of Baertschi, Reinhart and Ferland.
Too many times the Flames have been guilty of watching their own game pass them by. Too many players missing checks or just not committed to puck pursuit have resulted in public ridicule and yes even being called out on Hockey Night in Canada.
Even games the Flames have won have been the subject of speculation because they weren't able to gain the win in convincing fashion. In fact, you can count on one hand the amount of contests they have put in a complete game and gotten the desired results... and we're 30 nearly games into the season folks.
The bottom line is, the team needs to play a full 60 minutes, and it can't be for one game every couple of weeks. They have been so inconsistent from any given weekly period, and that comes from not playing a full game and getting the effort from the players. Consistency comes from repetition and is quickly lost through desperation and a lack of focus from the team as a whole.
While that loss to Columbus at the beginning of the month was a low point for the Flames, they had a major bounce back game against the Oilers two nights later. Falling behind 2-0 early, the Flames got their act together and simply took over every aspect of the game. They scored on the Oil to tie the game and then they shut down Edmonton's pace and game on the PK, killing all 6 opportunities for the Oilers. It may not have been against the likes of Detroit or Chicago, but it was definitely Calgary's best all around effort of the season.
It was unfortunate that Calgary couldn't press pause on all the adrenaline and excitement they took from that game and carry it through the following night. However, no one was really expecting miracles against Vancouver. It was the back end of the back-to-back and they were playing their back-up goaltender against a team that has owned them for - what? The last eleven meetings? I wasn't happy about their play, especially since they had a decent first period against the Canucks, but I also wasn't surprised. They were tired and out-manned, that coupled with a lousy effort and the string of losses; well 2 and 2 is still 4 as far as I know.
Despite the loss to Vancouver the Flames had a good week in regards to points. It wasn't a pretty win over the Hurricanes but the team dominated a really bad club, and that's part of what they need to do; beat the teams you are supposed to beat. The same applied to the game against the Avalanche: Calgary fell behind but they found a way to come back and win the game.
As Pat has stated a few times, the Flames seem to be in the heads of both Colorado and Edmonton; given that psychological advantage, they need to capitalize at every chance if they want any measure of success in their own division. The win was the fourth in a row this season against the Avs and dates back to the previous nine meetings. When you develop a streak like that against any given team, the game plan has to be to ride that horse as far as it will take you. We all know it won't go on forever, so they might as well use it to their benefit as long as they can.
This ideology carried through for the Flames last night against the Oilers. Finishing this week off in a successful manner, the Flames now find themselves one point behind the Oil and two points out of eighth in the Western Conference, with games in hand on both EDM and SJS, and two on Nash. With the next game against the Preds, Calgary has a chance to narrow that gap and maintain the two games in hand.
There is no doubt December is a crucial month for Calgary with sixteen games and four back-to-backs. Now is the time to develop some consistency and get them back into the hunt in the Western Conference. They have some tough match-ups but they also have some very winnable contests; if there is any hope of this club making any sort of run at the post-season, then the push has to come now and not in February. Early predictions have the 8th seed needing 97 pts to make the playoffs this year, counting on lightning in a bottle twice is about as viable a game plan than resorting to the ever-growing popular twitter plan... #FailForNail.
Thus concludes this weak, err.. week in review!

@Wanyes bastard child
I assume this is referencing stuff I missed during the chat yesterday?
December 11 2011, 06:01PM
@Kent Wilson
The Starsky and Hutch is new, but more referencing and making light of the stupid one time posters in the comments from VF's GDB eh ;)
December 11 2011, 06:08PM
@Kent Wilson
It was ridiculous. But good for a mullety laugh.
December 11 2011, 06:10PM
@Wanyes bastard child
Haha. I guess I should have included the same disclaimer at the top of the post when I posted the GDB.

You wrote the GDB and let VF get Brownlee'd?
For shame!

I wrote the one last week. VF wrote this one. I'm hoping I can convince Lambert to write the next one.

I comment on here enough I think to qualify for writing the next one :P
December 11 2011, 06:34PM
Brownlee is incredibly obtuse.
So... I know the GDB is a popular subject, but out of curiosity.. Did anyone actually even notice there is an article above?
What article? We're talkin' bout articles?
December 11 2011, 07:10PM
How did I get "Bownlee'd" exactly?
If his best game is criticizing grammar and spelling, while having absolutely no take on how much his team sucks or anything regarding the Flames or the Oilers, then that's a fight he's lost before the bell even rings.
Hell.. he might as well stay in his dressing room.
Nice to talk the talk, but if he wants to walk the walk.. Step inside the chat room next time.
Maybe Brownlee was hiding his identity in the chat last night?...
December 11 2011, 08:07PM
Hey VF don't forget Gumby and Pokey in the pressbox in case Curly or Green Eggs get hurt again.
P.S. I read the article BTW. Nice job on "Alberta's team" weekly summary.

Roses lie beside a memorial for John Paul Frerer along Hwy. 6 on Saturday. The Tupelo High School student, who was an avid cyclist, was killed in an accident on Aug. 13, 2009, while riding his bicycle from Tupelo to Oxford on the day before his senior year was to begin.
A cross with a St. Christopher medal hangs from one of the pedals, and the Bible verse "The Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I trust" from Psalm 94:22 in on the bike.
The John Paul Frerer Bicycle Safety Act was signed into law in March 2010 and went into effect on July 1 of that year. It requires motorists to provide a three-foot buffer when passing bicyclists along the road and penalizes those who harass, taunt or toss objects at cyclists.

Grants Fund Hiring of 1327 Officers in 204 Communities
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced $99.3 million in grants to fund the hiring of 1311 full-time and 16 part-time law enforcement officers in communities in 49 states and three U.S. territories.
The grants were awarded under COPS Universal Hiring Program (UHP) and will pay 75 percent of salary and benefits of each new officer over three years, up to a maximum of $75,000. Local funds pay the remainder, and each grantee is required to retain the new positions for one full local budget cycle after the federal funding ends. In addition to traditional law enforcement duties, these new community policing officers will also engage in homeland security activities.
"The Department of Justice is committed to helping state and local law enforcement meet today's new challenges and threats," said Attorney General John Ashcroft. "Our law enforcement partners on the state and local levels are essential in our efforts to fight crime and prevent terrorism."
"Throughout the country, law enforcement agencies are increasing the quantity and quality of the services that they provide. They have successfully reduced crime, and are protecting our communities against the ongoing threat of terrorism," said Carl R. Peed, Director of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. "These grants, and the new officers they represent, will help keep our communities safe."
Including today's grants, COPS has provided over $6.9 billion to fund the hiring of more than 118,000 officers since 1995. In addition to funding law enforcement positions, COPS provides training and technical assistance resources that help local law enforcement agencies implement innovative and effective community policing strategies.

U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate Release
October 2, 2003
Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) awarded America's state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies $635 million in grants to reduce crime during federal fiscal year 2003 (Oct. 1, 2002 - Sept. 30, 2003). COPS awarded 1,620 grants to 1,577 police departments and sheriffs' offices in all 50 states and four U.S. territories.
Funds from these grants will be used to help law enforcement agencies hire 2,726 full time and 46 part-time officers to patrol communities and schools; advance community policing; supplement local homeland security overtime budgets; help metropolitan areas implement interoperable communication systems between the various emergency service providers within the same region; help tribal law enforcement agencies purchase much needed equipment; enable local governments to make safety enhancements to the infrastructure of their schools; reduce the harmful environmental and social impact of methamphetamine; support the purchase of crime fighting technology; to provide regional training to law enforcement personnel and citizens through a network of Regional Community Policing Institutes; and to develop technical assistance resources that can be used to help law enforcement agencies in other parts of the country confronting similar challenges.
"Throughout the nation, state and local law enforcement agencies are taking innovative steps to fight crime and ensure the safety of communities that they serve. At COPS we listen to law enforcement and community leaders to determine what resources are needed to advance community policing, and then we work hard to ensure that those resources are delivered efficiently," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "COPS is proud to serve the men and women of law enforcement".
COPS supports law enforcement in many ways. In addition to grants, COPS offers technical assistance, a wide variety of training on innovative community policing strategies, and numerous publications that help law enforcement agencies address specific crime problems.
Since 1995, COPS has awarded more than $10.6 billion to more than 13,000 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the country. For additional information about COPS programs, or to learn which departments were awarded grants during federal fiscal year 2003, see below.

By Sandra Harwitt, special to USTA.com
London – When Victoria Duval started the year, her primary goal was to achieve a Top 100 ranking. She may achieve that in just six months.
Duval entered Wimbledon ranked No. 114 in the world, then won three matches to qualify for the main draw. On Tuesday, she took another big step, pulling off a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 first-round upset of 29th seed Sorana Cirstea.
A second-round showing doesn't make her a lock to break into the Top 100, but in her mind, Duval was content to already celebrate the accomplishment: "Ka-Ching," she said after her match, moving her arm as if she was pulling down the lever on a gambling slot machine.
This was not Duval's first impressive victory at a Grand Slam. At the US Open last year she ousted 2011 champion Samantha Stosur in the opening round. That victory captured the attention of many fans, who watched the teen make her first career statement.
"The Stosur match was pretty crazy," Duval remembered. "That was one of my best playing days. But, also, today wasn't easy because the courts were a little faster than I thought they would be."
In a less familiar style in today's game, Duval is a player who enjoys moving forward on the court. Her aim is to always get the first strike before her opponent.
She showed a great deal of poise on Tuesday when, after winning the first set, she surrendered the second to the Romanian. But Duval kept her head and dominated the final set, allowing Cirstea to hold serve once, in the second game. On match point Duval showed her penchant for going to the net, winning the match on a backhand approach winner.
Duval, who posted 26 winners to just 11 for Cirstea, isn't fooled by one or two good match showings. She knows she still has vast room for improvement.
"There's a lot of things I still need to work on in my game and I'm still a bit young," said the 18-year-old. "Improving mentally, physically getting a bit stronger, I'm still growing too. When all of those things come together maybe I can do some damage."
In her second round match, the 18-year-old Duval will actually be the older competitor. She'll take on Switzerland's Belinda Bencic, a 17-years-old who was the 2013 ITF Junior Player of the Year. The two have played once before, in the Acapulco qualifying rounds this year, and Duval came away with the hard-fought 6-7, 6-0, 7-6 win.
"It's the battle of the teenagers," said Duval, laughing, of her second-round encounter. "At this stage I'm not going to go in thinking I'm older so I have to win. She loves the grass, she plays really, really well and has been having some great results so it will be a test on Thursday."
Duval is playing at this Wimbledon without a coach. So at the moment, it's her mother, Nadine, who is doing her best to fulfill all her daughters' needs in London.
"For now I'm just OK being with my mom at this tournament, and then after I go back home will figure it out from there," Duval said.
Figuring things out has been a part of Duval's story of childhood adversity. Born in Miami, her parents moved the family to their native Haiti when she was quite young. When Duval was 7 years old, she and a few cousins were kidnapped by robbers.
Eventually, Duval, her mother and younger siblings moved back to the U.S., but her physician father, Jean-Maurice, stayed behind to fulfill the country's need for medical care. When the January 2010 Haitian earthquake occurred, her father was buried under the rubble of the family home for many days and remains partially paralyzed following the ordeal.
It is a testament to Duval's maturity that she can look at what she's gone through and only extract the positives.
"It's definitely made me stronger," Duval said. "I think everyone has a background that helps build their character. To be at the top you have to have total mental fortitude so I think whatever happens in your life and whatever circumstances helps build your character. It helped me."
Joining Duval in the second round is fellow U.S. teenager Madison Keys. The 19-year-old defeated Monica Puig of Puerto Rico, 6-3, 6-3, the victory coming just three days after Keys won her first-ever WTA title, at the Wimbledon tune-up in Eastbourne.
Keys admitted Tuesday that since she upset the world No. 7 Angelique Kerber in the Eastbourne final, much of life has gone by in a blur. When asked what she's been doing, Keys responded with a smile: "I don't even remember," then went on to detail a few non-descript activities related to getting ready for Wimbledon.
Despite her status as a WTA champion, Keys remains a player who lacks experience and approaches everything as if still a novice.
"Even this morning, I woke up and it was kind of, 'I'm playing my first round at Wimbledon today," Keys said. "For me, it's still an experience every time I get to play [in a Grand Slam]. I was definitely still nervous and still thinking, 'Oh it's first round."
Keys might have been nervous, but it was hardly evident in the 68 minutes it took her to turn back Puig.
"Winning on Saturday … it's definitely the biggest milestone of mine," said Keys, adding a message for her press conference audience. "If something else surpasses that, I will let you know."
Also on Tuesday, five-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams made a statement that she's serious about reclaiming the women's singles crown, defeating fellow American Anna Tatishvili, 6-1, 6-2. Firing down a stunning 16 aces and 33 winners, the serve of the four-time Wimbledon champion was on full display in the late afternoon match on Centre Court. She next plays Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa.
In addition to Duval, two other American women scored upset victories on Tuesday. Alison Riske came within a handful of points to losing against No. 26 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia, but stormed through the final stages to advance, 4-6, 7-5, 6-1. Varvara Lepchenko rallied from a set down to prevail against former Wimbledon semifinalist Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria, 6-7 (2), 6-2, 6-2.
On the men's side, No. 9 seed Isner encountered few problems in dismissing British wild card Daniel Smethurst, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4. Isner, who has never advanced past the second round at the All England Club, next plays Jaarko Nieminen of Finland.
Rising star Jack Sock recorded his first-ever main draw win at Wimbledon, rallying from a set down to defeat qualifier Pierre-Hugues Herbert of France, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 7-6 (5), 6-4. The world No. 77 has a tough task for his next match when he takes on No. 8 seed Milos Raonic of Canada.
In other American matches, Denis Kudla won a battle of qualifiers in beating Marsel Ilhan of Turkey, 7-6 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. And in a match suspended by darkness on Monday, Sam Querrey only needed one game today to finish off fellow American Bradley Klahn, 6-7 (1), 6-4, 6-1, 7-5.

"I can't go shopping again. I just bought a dress at Urban Outfitters.... and I still didn't receive the order I'm waiting on.... But I did just get paid, and I've worked hard this week, so I'll go and reward myself."
And rewarding oneself is something I firmly believe in. If you work hard and aren't frivolous with your money, why not enjoy the fruits of your labor? Every paycheck. Wait a sec, isn't that called compulsive shopping? Sounds like oniomania to me.
My spending isn't out of control, but I'm starting to notice that what I spend weekly, and in cash, is resulting in more trips to the ATM. I'll buy lunch, put gas in my car... and then get sidetracked by hitting up a store during errands or a lunch break... and spend money I didn't intend to.
Plus, my husband has been giving me "The Look". You know what I'm talking about. It's when you leave your shopping bags out, and he comes home and sees em and asks, "Where'd this come from?" And he gives you this look of "I'm not mad, but I'm starting to notice a gaggle of shopping bags lined up - not to mention all the new s%$# you bought with tags on it hanging in your closet."
So, I'm invoking the No Shopping Challenge for 30 days. I think I can do it <insert fable attempt at lying here>.
|Memories... Like the corners of my mind...
The rules for the challenge are as follows.
For the next 30 days, I shall not:
1. Purchase apparel, accessories or clothing of any type for myself. Gifts for family do not count.
2. Use credit cards.
3. Spend money unless it is an absolute necessity - fuel, food, transportation and personal toiletries.
4. Nag my husband into purchasing something for me to get a shopping fix.
Let's see how well this pans out. I'll be blogging throughout the next 30 days about my torture, I mean, progress, so be sure to check back! This should be interesting.

"I wore this shoe to work today because we had an offsite visit. i was ecstatic about the tremendous comfort and appropriateness of this shoe. However, my thrill was short lived as I noticed the front of the shoes actually opening out..... OMG! On the first day of wearing with little pressure on the shoes...... How do you deal with something like that after shipping all the way to trinidad?"

"They are cute but that is the only good thing I have to say about them. Based on other reviews I ordered these a 1/2 size bigger then I normally wear which ended up being just right length wise. I have to agree with the rest of the reviews they are VERY pinchy across the toes. I've wore them only once but did notice by the end of the day they stretched out a little making them more tolerable. My biggest complaint with them is they are noisy! You couldn't sneak up on anyone wearing these, they make a cracking sound with every step almost sounds like someone stuck a potato chip bag on the bottom of them. I bought them in red and black and BOTH are noisy. Very annoying....luckily I have a desk job because I couldn't deal with listening to them if I had to walk all day."

"Love the Look/ Comfort not a plus for me or my daughter. I bought it for her and she got blisters the first day. I had to switch with her and then I got blisters. Lucky for her we wear the same size... I have to put bandages on my heel and inside part of my upper foot. wish it was wider and i have very narrow feet, which is very weird... :("

Straight from the runway of Balmain's Spring/Summer 09 collection is a Sgt Pepper inspired jacket paired with distressed, slashed and acid washed jeans. Cool, chic and playfully rock 'n' roll! Perhaps a cue taken from the Beatle's or could it be Coldplay? Nevertheless, this military/band inspired ensemble is truly a sizzling look for the spring season.
Can't afford the Balmain price tag? Most of us can't, but we certainly can be inspired and get the look for less.

The leaps and bounds that the Harrisburg High School girls' basketball team made this year will no doubt be the foundation for what's to come in many years, but even head coach Jake Stewart knows that in order for his club to be considered one of the elites, many things have to happen.
Namely taking care of the basketball, which in this case Thursday night, meant 28 miscues in a 75-41 Class 2A Regional Championship loss to Mt. Carmel Thursday at Jerry Sloan Gymnasium.
The Bulldogs turned the ball over 19 times in the first half as the Aces took a 45-18 lead into the locker room. Aside from the turnovers, Mt. Carmel's quickness and overall efficiency in the full-court game made things difficult on Harrisburg the entire night.
"Turnovers killed us in the first half," Stewart said. "It didn't help that Lindsey Murray picked up two quick fouls, that hurt us. She's one of the few people we have that can match up with (Tyra) Buss. We just couldn't score, it was a tough night."
Buss led all scorers with 35 points. The junior who has already committed to the University of Indiana had 21 first half points to break the IHSA single season scoring record.
"To try and guard Buss is a difficult task for anyone, she's just so good," Stewart said. "She puts up 35, 40 shots a game and she's just hard to defend. I actually think we did a good job of defending her in the halfcourt, our problem was turning the ball over, where she probably had 20 points off layups.
Harrisburg put a couple of players in double figures as Shelby Boer finished out an illustrious career at Harrisburg as she finished with 12 points. Hanna Jones finished with 11 for the Bulldogs.
Boer was a big part of what Harrisburg was able to accomplish — not just this season — but even in the post season.
Boer's bucket with 5:45 to play in the first quarter gave Harrisburg a brief 6-4 lead. Mt. Carmel quickly tied the contest up at six and from there went on a 11-2 run over the next three minutes to build a 17-8 lead.
The Aces closed out the first quarter with a 26-10 lead, all the while, Harrisburg turned the ball over nine times in the first quarter and 10 in the second quarter.
"They were unforced and that's what is so disappointing," Stewart said. "This summer we'll get back in the gym and work on that. We just had too many turnovers, both games this week. When you play really good teams like that, you're going to get beat."
Hanna Jones did what she could to soften the blow to start the second half as she had three straight buckets. Jones was able to cut the deficit to 24 off her third make getting it to 49-25, but Mt. Carmel went on the offensive again, running out to a 57-31 lead and closing out the third quarter up 65-37.
Page 2 of 2 - Mt. Carmel now advances to the Newton Sectional on Monday where they will play the winner of Pana and Sullivan, part of the Tuscola Regional at 7:30 p.m. The championship game of that Sectional will be Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
Also advancing to Newton as an individual will be Harrisburg junior Malayna Douglas who won the Country Financial Three-Point Showdown.
The 5-foot-7 guard hit a total of nine three-pointers to lead all contestants. Also advancing were Mt. Carmel's Brandi Metcalf and Buss, along with Hamilton County's Emily McCullough.

Perfect shoes!!
"I LOVE these shoes! I have bunions and my feet always hurt. It was sweet to find a shoe that didn't hurt me. Right before I found these, I ordered the EXACT pair of shoes on the Macy's website for $55!!!! I swear it wasn't 5 minutes after hitting place my order from Macy's that I found them on DSW!!! Such luck. Anyway I kept them both because they are a great shoe. Thank you DSW for having such awesome buying power and getting such great prices! I'll look on your website first from now on!"

Cute shoe but slightly loose fitting
"I do like these shoes but trying to get used to them. They feel nice on my feet but sometimes when I'm walking I feel like my feet might slip thru the front of them. I put some non-skid pads on them for my feet to stay put. This just might be a "me" problem, not the shoe's fault. But they are cute and fairly comfy!"

Easy very good
Awesome Project. I've been using smoothwall to protect my home network for almost 10 years now. Became painfully aware of all the networking problems with connecting to the internet when I first setup my Microsoft Small Business Server and connected it to the internet....wow......it was like the worlds biggest and only honey pot....the server was completely invaded and contaminated in two days...just two days. So I had to have a greater piece of protect. Initial research led me to believe that I needed a firewall appliance in the price range of 10,000 to 15,000 USD to protect my network........then someone pointed me to Smoothwall and I have not looked back since. Smoothwall has so impressed me with its level of security.....that I completely dumped all microsoft networking products....server..email...webserver...the whole shibang right into the toilet....and I replaced it all with Linux networking solutions. FYI..Smoothwall is a Linux based security solution that is rock-solid...and it runs on older hardware...with very small hardware requirements. My Smoothwall is currently running on an old Pentium-3 system that I have placed three PCI dLink NIC's into and it is very very fast.....:) I would strongly recommend that anyone who hooks up their systems to the internet get and place a Smoothwall security system between their internal network and their isp's modem. Cheers.

Kif does everything possible to win Amy's parents' approval.
Host man, host woman,
I'm having a wonderful time.
You here five hours,and already you tear up couch,
draw mustacheon priceless painting,
and fill poolwith brine shrimp.
Not bad for a city boy, huh?
Uh, by the way, Itook the liberty
of fertilizingyour caviar.
( gulping )
( guzzling )
( burps )
Um, um...
Just relax.
I'm sure my parentswill love you.
You don't understand.
When I get nervous,I can't control mycamouflage reflex.
Oh, dear!Oh, goodness!
Oh, odds and bodkins.
I'll have a thoraxand some feelers.
You want some salad with that?
Mom, Dad, youremember Kif.
This your boyfriend?
I have instant dislike of him.
He too scrawny to fathergrandchildren.
He's not scrawny.
He's just small-boned.
Actually, I don't have bones.
I'm supported by a systemof fluid-filled bladders that...
Yes, yes. You'rea big, squishy wuss.
Amy should be datingreal man... like him.
I can be manly, too.
I think I'll, uh,light up a smoke.
( whispers ):Wrong way.
( inhales )
( gasping )
Look on the bright side.
My parents left afteryou passed out,
so they didn't evensee you barf.
Oh, now they'll never thinkI'm manly enough
to date their daughter.
( sobbing )
It's okay, Kif.
I'll go getyou a tissuefrom your tote.
Hey, there, Amy.
Like you to meetmy buddy, Joe.
Sorry I'm late.
My pool game ran longat the jazz club.
( chuckles )
Kids love him.
And even though the computerwas off and unplugged
an image stayed on the screen.
It was...
the Windows logo!
Pss! That's not scary.
It is if you're a laser printer.
Okay, my turnto tell a ghost story.
Once, there wasthis woman driving...
Hook in the hand.
Okay, I've got one.
This family...
Man in the attic.
Fine, Mr. Know-It-All-About-Something-Finally,
you tell a story.
With pleasure.
Once, not far from here,
four people set outon a cattle drive...
Robot gets boredand kills Fry with a hammer!
Sorry. Go on.
And then, while they sathelplessly around the campfire,
a demented, knife-wielding,escaped, lunatic, Libertarian,
zombie mutant snuck up and...
( screaming )
( whimpering )
Amy, what are you doing here?
I forgot to give you somethingbefore you left.
Oh. What?
Is thatyour camouflage reflex,
or are you just happyto see me?
I love it out here, Amy.
I feel so manly.
I have blister,I-I spit,
and-and, of course,I tell no one my feelings.
But you still have them, right?
Oh, yes,but I keep them inside
until I can write themin my diary.
Ah... it's awonderful night.
It sure is.
I could just lie here beside youstaring at the sky all night.
I can't.
( both moaning )
( loud rumbling )
( gasps )
What's that?!
Maybe we just made love.
( rumbling stops )
( mandibles clicking )
The buggalo!
They're in the crater!
The rustlers musthave seen me coming
and run off scared.
Oh, Kif, you're so brave.
Shh. They'll hear us.
