Shorewood - The Shorewood School Board on Thursday selected University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Professor Paru Shah to fill the vacant School Board seat until the April election.
Shah, who moved to Shorewood in July 2011, is a political-science professor at UWM with research focused on the impact of racial/ethnic inequalities on politics in urban settings. Most recently, her research has examined when and where racial and ethnic minorities gain elected office, and what policy effect their presence has, according to her application to the School Board.
Because the majority of her research focuses on local elected offices - both school boards and city governments - she said in her application that she is familiar with the structures and institutions.
In addition to her academic interests, Shah said she had a desire to serve the community.
Before attending school for her PhD, Shah worked for an AmeriCorps program. She also served on the board of directors at Rape Victims Advocates.
Mequon - The Church of the Savior, a North Shore Anglican church plant currently meeting in a private home in River Hills, will move to a nearby church facility in Mequon, beginning on Sunday, January 6, 2013. The move to space within Christ Church Lutheran at 13460 N. Port Washington Road enables The Church of the Savior to accommodate larger numbers of worshippers as well as enjoy more spacious areas for Bible Study, Sunday school and coffee hour fellowship.
Services in the new location, including Holy Eucharist, will be held on Sundays at 2 p.m. The public is cordially invited to experience the rich and historical Anglican tradition with its emphasis on Biblical lessons for today's living.
To learn more about The Church of the Savior, please visit www.saviormilwaukee.org. You may also contact parish member Bill Chapin to receive additional information: (414) 352-4586 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Shorewood - The wages and benefits for Shorewood employees next year have been set.
The Village Board adopted the 2013 Wage and Fringe Benefits ordinances for both general classification employees and police lieutenants and sergeants.
Village Manager Chris Swartz explained that police lieutenant and sergeant positions are a cross between management and nonmanagement, thus requiring a separate contract. According to a memo from Swartz, their contract is very specific regarding certain factors, such as work hours and overtime, vacation selection, retirement contributions and the educational incentive program.
Both ordinances include a 1.5 percent increase in wages across the board in 2013, except for a handful of positions for which wages will be increased above 1.5 percent.
The ordinances adopted exclude nonmanagement, sworn police officers, who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Mequon - The Mequon-Thiensville School District is asking the community to nominate worthy candidates for the district's Hall of Inspiration.
Community members are asked to nominate district alumni who have gone on to make a positive impact in their profession and district staff who have made an impact on children.
Nominations are available on the district website through Jan. 7 at mtsd.k12.wi.us.
Brown Deer - The Brown Deer School District and village of Brown Deer were awarded a Safe Routes to School grant, which will go toward fixing sidewalks on Dean Road and crosswalks on 60th Street.
The village of Brown Deer worked with the School District to apply for the federal Safe Routes to School grant, which totals approximately $217,000.
The grant will help offset the cost of installing sidewalks on Dean Road from 55th Street to Teutonia. Dean Road is a common route for students and pedestrians. The grant will also be used for some signage and crosswalk improvement on 60th Street near the school.
Superintendent Deb Kerr will attend a January Village Board meeting to discuss the grant.
Brown Deer - Brown Deer School Board members will call families who have decided to open enroll their children in a different school district the first two weeks of January.
Letters have been mailed to those families who send their children outside of the Brown Deer School District. The intent is to ask 'why?' in an effort to gather information on how the district can improve.
'We aren't trying to sell them anything, we simply want information,' School Board President Gary Williams said. 'It's an opportunity for us, if there are areas of improvement, for us to address those areas.'
The public will receive an update on the information gathered at its January board meeting.
Shorewood - Don Bentzien, longtime route collector for the Shorewood Department of Public Works, will retire at the end of this year.
The Village Board authorized filling the route collector position that will be vacated with his retirement, effective Dec. 31. Bentzien has more than 27 years of service with the village.
An eligibility list was created this fall in the process of filling another route collector position, and DPW Director Leeann Butschlick indicated in a memo that staff believes an applicant remaining on the list would be a good candidate for the position.
Butschlick also noted that additional vacancies are expected in 2013, as several other DPW employees are approaching the level of service needed for retirement.
Shorewood - Village of Shorewood employees now have an official employee handbook in place.
The Village Board, at the recommendation of the Budget and Finance Committee, voted to approve the village's 2012 human resources manual.
The purpose of the manual is 'to establish and maintain a fair and reasonable system for administration of all personnel matters.' The document covers factors including employment policies, pay practices and salary classifications, career development, hours of work and overtime, employee benefits, employee conduct, safety and end of employment procedures, among other topics.
Village Manager Chris Swartz said the handbook will take effect Jan. 1.
Brown Deer - The Brown Deer School Board selected all the subcontractors for the middle school remodel.
Subcontracts went to companies to complete items such as electrical work, HVAC systems, masonry work and carpentry. As of Tuesday, 100 percent of the project has been bid and contracts subsequently awarded.
Currently, the project is $400,000 under budget, which will be rolled over into the construction contingency fund.
Mequon - City staff and the Common Council discussed policies related to employee compensation. A proposal to hire a consulting firm at a projected cost of $22,000 was raised, but tabled for action until the council's January meeting.
City Administrator Lee Szymborski said he would like a consultant to conduct the study because most employees have not received salary adjustments since 2010.
The goal, Szymborski said, would be to examine what other organizations and companies pay comparable employees in the public and private sector.
Alderman John Wirth said he believed the analysis could be done in-house to save the consultancy fees.
Mequon - The city's 2013 sanitary sewer budget of $9.6 million was approved by the Common Council.
Established rates for nonmetered residential properties are $67.25 per quarter unit, or $269 for the year. Metered residences and all commercial properties will be charged at a rate of $4.97 per 1,000 gallons used within each quarter.
Mequon's sanitary sewer budget is independent of the general operating budget.
Mequon - Mattress Firm opened its first store in Mequon on Friday at 11311 N. Port Washington Road, just in time for the holiday season.
Mattress Firm offers an extensive selection of innerspring and specialty mattresses from national brands as well as locally manufactured brands.
The new store occupies 4,581 square feet and is open seven days a week: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday; 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday; and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Bills top 20 talents: No. 12 - Fred Jackson
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 11 2014 7:57AM
Along the offensive side of the ball, there haven't been many other identifiable pieces to the puzzle than the man the comes in at number 12 on the top talents on the Buffalo Bills roster. While the team continued to try and replace him, the player just kept on with it and continued to carve his hard-nosed niche.
The countdown uses the trio of overall skill level, on the field results and projection to the future for the basis of where the players rank, the third of which is why player number 12 is a bit lower than expected. However, he has shown that he can still play at a high level and has been a fan favorite for several years.
HB Fred Jackson
: 33 (2/20/81)
: 6'1"
: 216
Why he's here:
- Over the past six seasons, no man has been more overlooked than Jackson. The team drafted two running backs in the first round only for Jackson to prove his worth each time and continue to be one of the most dependable players on the roster. His ability to not only absorb contact, but to keep his balance as well, has earned him the reputation of being able to gain tough yards every single time he's on the field. In all his years, Jackson has had only one season that eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark, which could come as a surprise to some fans that don't check his stats regularly. Because of his age and the wear-and-tear that occurs to running backs over the course of time, the biggest negative for Jackson on this list is how he projects toward the future.
2014 outlook:
- Jackson will once again split time with C.J. Spiller in the backfield, but now the Bills added two other pieces at running back (Bryce Brown, Anthony Dixon) that could cut into the 33-year old's snaps as well. He's entering the final year of his contract with the team, but is a very important person to the locker room. Many of his younger teammates look up to him, and with quite a young core group of starters, the veteran presence Jackson provides is essential. Regardless, the question that will be asked once the season is over is how much Jackson has left in the tank as regular contributor. If he plays like he did in 2013, though, it will go far to prove that he has a bit more left.

The Waratahs return home to work on rebuilding their campaign when they take on the Cheetahs in Sydney on Friday.
The Waratahs return home to work on rebuilding their campaign when they take on the Cheetahs in Sydney on Friday.
After enduring a 35-6 humiliation in Canberra last weekend, the Waratahs will be under pressure to get their season back on track against a team still buzzing from an upset win over the Highlanders in Invercargill last weekend.
Friday's game will take on an extra level of intensity, as the Waratahs will still be reeling from their shock loss to the Cheetahs in 2011 which was the South African side's first-ever Super Rugby win overseas. And last season, the Waratahs were pipped 35-34 in Bloemfontein.
The Waratahs have made some wholesale changes for this encounter, with coach Michael Cheika not shy in wielding the axe as Wallaby winger Drew Mitchell found out.
In the six changes made from last weekend's loss, the most notable is the return of playmaker Berrick Barnes who has recovered from injury and will play at inside centre – replacing Tom Carter.
The Cheetahs are looking to make it two-from-two on their Australasian tour. And with form on their side as well as confidence in knowing they can defeat the 'Tahs in their own back yard, this Friday may well yield another surprise win for them.
The traditionally bottom-dwelling Cheetahs played with valour in defeating the Highlanders in New Zealand last week. They had control and mixed attacking rugby with rock-solid defence. And with an unchanged XV, coach Naka Drotske will look to maintain the same game-plan this weekend.
Looking at the visitors' line-up, they have a similar composition to the Brumbies – a strong breakdown featuring robust flanks – and the Waratahs will certainly have to go into the match with a different mindset.
With standout players like Hennie Daniller, Johan Goosen at fly-half and the dangerous Heinrich Brussow coming off the bench, the Cheetahs should be able to present a formidable backline.
Speedster Sarel Pretorius was the Waratahs' foreign import last season, but failed to make an impact and spent most of his Australian secondment on the bench.
However, he is back at the Cheetahs and has been in sizzling form, scoring twice in his team's three-try win last weekend, and will no doubt be looking to show his ex-club what they missed out on this time round.
Aloss at home will most likely shatter the Waratahs' fragile confidence level. And whilst it is early in the season, the fans may not be as forgiving and forgetful for a while. A loss also presents an opportunity for the Reds and Brumbies to break away in the Aussie Conference.
Prediction: Depending on which Cheetahs team turns up, it could either be a narrow and inspiring win for them, or a relapse back to their accustomed losing trend. But we think the Waratahs will bounce back this weekend and scrape through. 'Tahs by six!
The teams:
Waratahs: 15 Israel Folau, 14 Lachie Turner, 13 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Peter Betham, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 1 Benn Robinson, 2 John Ulugia, 3 Paddy Ryan, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 5 Kane Douglas, 6 Dave Dennis (captain), 7 Michael Hooper, 8 Pat McCutcheon.
Replacements: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Jeremy Tilse, 18 Mitchell Chapman, 19 Lopeti Timani, 20 Matt Lucas, 21 Ben Volavola, 22 Rob Horne.
Cheetahs: 15 Hennie Daniller, 14 Willie le Roux, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Robert Ebersohn, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Sarel Pretorius, 8 Philip van der Walt, 7 Pieter Labuschagne, 6 Frans Viljoen, 5 Francois Uys, 4 Lodewyk de Jager, 3 Lourens Adriaanse, 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Trevor Nyakane.
Replacements: 16 Ryno Barnes, 17 Coenie Oosthuizen, 18 Landman Ligtoring, 19 Heinrich Brussow, 20 Piet van Zyl, 21 Riaan Smith, 22 Ryno Benjamin.
Date: Friday, 15 March

Northwest review, part two
Jean Lefebvre
July 08 2009 10:30PM
After touching on the off-season activities of the Wild and Avalanche in a previous entry, we now discuss those other three teams in the Northwest Division.
During the Jaroslav Pouzar-Dave Lumley-Willy Lindstrom era in Edmonton (and whoever those other guys were), the Oilers were feared, detested and envied by Calgary fans. The mixture of the ingredients varied from Flames supporter to Flames supporter, but those pretty much were the underlying sentiments.
Over the past three years, however, through three playoff-less seasons in Edmonton and Pronger-gate, Vanek-gate, Penner-gate, Nylander-gate and Huggy Bear's Wrestlemania, the Oilers were mostly ridiculed by Flames fans, at least for the 10-14 additional days Calgary managed to stay alive in each of those years.
Needless to say, Edmontonians bristled at the taunting and you would have thought things couldn't get worse for the lovers of the Copper-and-Navy (formerly Orange-and-Blue) but now comes word that some small-l liberal Calgary fans are now actually pitying their northern counterparts and, well, that may be more than some Oilers fans can stand.
Yes, believe or not, some Flames fans admitted to feeling sorry for the Oilers when Dany Heatley became the latest NHLer to give Edmonton the old "Thanks but no thanks." Of course, most of them got over that in a big hurry and the snickering and pointing quickly resumed. L'Affaire Heatley isn't over of course, with two major questions remaining to be resolved.
- When and if Heatley realizes his other options either suck or are non-existent, will the persnickety winger finally agree to join the Oilers?
- Would Oilers rather have the malcontent mop-top on their roster or three guys who have experienced the uneasiness that comes with you've-been-traded-oh-no-you-haven't-so-welcome-back- but-don't-unpack-your-bags-just-yet?
On that latter point, a reasonably close parallel to what Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid must be feeling at the moment can be found on the 1992 New York Rangers. That's the team that lost out on the Eric Lindros arbitration ruling, which means that John Vanbiesbrouck, Tony Amonte, Doug Weight and Alexei Kovalev all remained in Manhattan instead of going to Quebec City.
All of those guys continued to have productive careers (and a couple aren't done yet) but it's interesting to note that Vanbiesbrouck and Weight were both gone within a year of the aborted trade and Amonte was out of there a season after that.
Only Kovalev, who had yet played an NHL game at this point, remained with the Rangers for an appreciable length of time after the Lindros whiff.
All of which means that assessing Steve Tambellini's summer work will be difficult until the Heatley smoke clears, and even maybe not until a quarter-season of regular-season action after that.
Sorting out the goaltending switcheroo involving Dwayne Roloson and Nikolai Khabibulin, who at some point in the past 18 months couldn't be given away by their employers, is a bit of a head-scratcher, although time is certainly on the Oilers' and Bulin Wall's side. Also, Khabibulin has been a Flames-killer throughout his career, and that's got to count for something in July when it's still three months away from meaningful games.
After that, and with all due apologies to members of the Kyle Brodziak and Jason Strudwick families, things have been pretty quiet this summer at the building formerly known as Northlands Coliseum. Tambellini will keep pitching on the Heatley front no doubt, but otherwise too many of the improvement plans, most notably those concocted by fans, over-ambitiously start with "If we built a package around Robert Nilsson, maybe we could pry that young stud from (fill in the blank)."
KJR (Knee-Jerk Ruling): Pending further developments, a loser. Thanks to another summer of star snobbery, it's been another trying off-season for Oilers fans, who now have to settle for in-house reasons to convince themselves sunnier days are ahead. Well, that and clinging to the old bromide about the best trades sometimes being the ones you don't make.
It's hard to make heads or tails out of the Canucks' off-season doings, if only because we're hopelessly distracted by all the conspiracy theories emanating from Tony Gallagher's keyboard.
Actually, analyzing Vancouver's summer doings is pretty straightforward. The reigning division champions managed to keep the Sedin twins on something less than the lifetime-plus-a-year contracts that had been rumoured, did the expected by waving good-bye to a proud but declining battler in Mattias Ohlund, signed Mikael Samuelsson to a slightly pricy deal and decided Andrew Raycroft – yikes! -- was their new backup goalie.
Perhaps the best summer news for Canucks fans is that all the chatter about Marian Gaborik buying a house in Vancouver turned out to be poppycock and that the oft-injured winger is now John Tortorella's headache and not Alain Vigneault's.
KJR: A winner, despite how things might look on paper. Ohlund spent more time on the ice than any Canucks player not named Willie Mitchell or Roberto Luongo in 2008-09, so his departure shouldn't be written off cavalierly. But considering that his exit has been considered a foregone conclusion for some time and that the Sedins' return was anything but, this should be considered a positive off-season on the Left Coast.
Similar to the Ohlund situation in Vancouver, the sting of Calgary losing Michael Cammalleri is lessened by the fact most clear-thinking Flames fans have seen this coming for a while. If it wasn't painfully obvious when Cammalleri started popping goals like crazy and adding more and more loonies to his prospective new contract, the deal was sealed when the Flames committed a bunch of cash by trading the reasonably priced Matthew Lombardi for Olli Jokinen and his hefty deal.
On the flip side, the Flames landed big blue-liner Jay Bouwmeester and convinced him to accept a not-outrageous long-term deal. It says something about Bouwmeester's reputation when most of the criticism of Calgary's landing of the rangy rearguard was focused not on any shortcomings the player might have but on the financial corner into which the Flames have now theoretically painted themselves.
Fredrik Sjostrom gives the Flames another dependable winger with limited offensive upside and the return of Brandon Prust adds bite to the fourth line. But the biggest non-Bouwmeester newcomer is Brent Sutter, the new skipper who, in no particular order, is being asked to bring back defensive accountability to the Flames after the laissez-faire Keenan years, get former junior protégé Dion Phaneuf's career back on track and, oh yeah, get the Flames past the first round.
Many of the Flames' other off-season additions – Garth Murray, Jason Jaffray, Staffan Kronwall – likely qualify as bigger news for the good folks of Abbotsford, B.C., than those of Calgary.
One more thing, with the Flames seemingly having no room or money left for Todd Bertuzzi, the Flames will be a lot less entertaining next year. More technically sound, perhaps, but far less enjoyable now that Big Bert's fancy passes and loop-de-loop skating are apparently headed elsewhere.
KJR: A winner thanks to Bouwmeester, but only if the Flames follow through on their vows to put an end to all the careless freewheeling. They have to give Miikka Kiprusoff the help he clearly needs because the goals figure to be much harder to come by.
Subject to reconsideration when we get closer to training camp (in fact, you can pretty much count on some flip-flopping) I don't see any team having done enough (or too little) to change their Northwest standing by more than one position. In fact, an identical first-to-fifth finish -- Canucks-Flames-Wild-Oilers-Avs -- looks like a pretty decent bet.
That said, I wonder if anyone with a dissenting opinion could be convinced to post a comment below?
Ryan wrote:
-It was a widely known fact that the Oilers would have hired Sutter as their first choice to replace MacT over Quinn and Renney. They had to resort to Quinn and Renney once they realized Sutter had no desire to coach in Edmonton.
Widely known by who?
Besides, what does it matter if the Oilers may or may not have been interested in him? The question is wether or not he improves the Flames.
Ryan wrote:
-The Devils were lucky to make the playoffs last year considering they were missing Brodeur for a significant portion of the season. The fact that he did get the Devils to the playoffs and the fact they SHOULD have beat Carolina - was the reason he was considered the top coach of the year…and again, the Oiler's 1st choice as MacT's replacement.
The Oilers have nothing to do with this so keep bringing them up?
Sutter seems like a capable coach but before you plan the parade route take a look at the Devil's record for the past 12 years and explain where coaching appeared to make any difference at all? Outside of Detroit there hasn't been a more consistant team in the league and if anything, hate to burst your bubble here, one of the only two times the Devils took a step back from the previous year was under Sutter's watch.
Maybe that is why 'ol Lou wasn't screaming from the hill tops when the Sutter's pulled the rug out from under him and left him with out a coach. Maybe Lou sees that he can get the same results no matter who the coach is.
Ryan wrote:
-Changing coaches 3-4 times if things aren't working is much better than sticking with 1 coach for 8 seasons when the guy only got you to the playoffs 3 times.
Again with the Oilers reference, why are they relevant to the point?
The point, read it slowly, is figuring out if the problem in Calgary has been the coach or the mix of players. This is the 3rd time Darryl has hired the "right" coach to get them over the hump.
What does it tell you? Darryl's choices for coach are bad? In which case maybe it's fair to question Brent as his choice as well. Or that the mix of players is wrong, in which case it's fair to question if hiring Brent is going to make much difference anyways.
Ryan wrote:
Furthermore, the timing was pretty close to when Brent publicly stated he had no desire to coach the Oilers and a few days later Quinn/Renney were hired. You can call it coincidence - I would look deeper though.
Yeah, I'm sure the Oil had it all planned out to hire Sutter, and then he told everyone he didn't want to, so Tambo made 2 quick calls to Quinn and Renney, and threw together a deal in a couple days.
Give your head a shake, they were talking to Quinn/Renney all along, I don't see them being the second choice.
and BTW who are your "sources"?
Archaeologuy wrote:
Widely known fact? Hardly. It was speculation at best and even if Brent was available when Tambi made the decision there is no reason to believe that the Oilers would have taken Brent over Quinn.
Even if it wasn't a fact - it was funny to see the message boards light up as Oiler fans salivated at the chance of landing Brent as coach. They were definitely more interested in landing a coach who, recently, was considered the best in the league vs Quinn - who hasn't done anything at the NHL-level in quite some time.
@ Thomas617: Of course the Oilers and their fans were interested. You cant tell me, though, that Tambellini was more interested in Sutter than Quinn. I think the personal connections alone would have made Quinn more desireable to Tambi. Never mind his amazing ability to coach competitive teams over a long NHL career.
I'm not saying Quinn will be better than Sutter, but to claim that the Oilers chose Quinn as a runner up to Sutter is patheticly incorrect.

Ogden College is located on the campus of an earlier educational institution established in Bowling Green in 1877 as a provision in the will of Major Robert W. Ogden. The original Ogden College closed, and its properties were leased to WKU in 1928. The name Ogden reappeared when the Ogden College of Science and Technology was established within Western Kentucky University in 1965. In 2015, Ogden College (now called Ogden College of Science and Engineering) will celebrate its fiftieth year.
Ogden College of Science and Engineering encompasses the applied and basic sciences, offering a broad range of degree programs in agriculture, architectural design, biology, chemistry, computer information technology, computer science, construction management, engineering, geography, geology, architectural design, manufacturing sciences, mathematics, meteorology, physics and astronomy, and psychological sciences. In collaboration with the College of Education, Ogden offers the SKyTeach Program for those interested in teaching science and math at middle or high school levels.
Ogden College of Science and Engineering is recognized by the high quality and success of its students and graduates that result from personal attention to student professional development through engagement with faculty in projects that expand on classroom instruction. Our students are putting knowledge into practice in critical areas like food sciences, cancer research, energy storage, water resources, homeland security, materials, and environmental protection. Our work today will impact the future in ways we cannot yet imagine.
Through research with faculty, conference attendance, community outreach, study abroad, and internships with local companies, Ogden College students make connections that enhance their WKU experiences. We are proud of our programs, our faculty, our students, and our impact on the region and connection to the world. Now is a time of great opportunity for Ogden College and its students.

Statement Post-2015 Development Agenda 'Ensuring stable and peaceful societies'
NEW YORK, 24 April 2014
STATEMENT BY H.E. Karel J.G. van Oosterom Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the United Nations "The Post-2015 Development Agenda: Setting the Stage! High Level and Thematic Debates of the President of the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly." Fourth Session: "Ensuring Stable and Peaceful Societies"
Madam Chair,
I would like to thank the PGA for organising this important debate and the panelists for their contributions. For the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a comprehensive post-2015 development agenda is one of the most crucial aspects of our current work here at the UN. This post-2015 agenda should combine the unfulfilled elements of the MDG's with new challenges. These new challenges include all sustainability related issues as well as stable and peaceful societies, the subject of today's debate.
Let me quote former UNSG Kofi Annan who said in 1997: "Good governance and sustainable development are indivisible. That is the lesson of all our efforts and experiences, from Africa to Asia to Latin America. Without good governance -- without the rule of law, predictable administration, legitimate power, and responsive regulation -- no amount of funding will set us on the path to prosperity."
We have confirmed this relation in the Rio +20 outcome document.
The link between peace, good governance, the rule of law and sustainable development is backed by clear evidence from scientific research. Capable, accountable and inclusive institutions are a crucial factor in creating and sustaining the conditions necessary for sustainable development. As personal safety increases, growth increases and progress is made in reaching the MDGs. Better governance is correlated with improved completion rates for primary education, adult literacy and reduced infant mortality.
1.6 million people who voted in the MyWorld survey, put "freedom from crime and violence" among the top seven issues they want to see included in the Sustainable Development Goals.
Important targets under 'stable and peaceful societies' include:
- Reduce levels of violence.
- Ensure justice institutions are accessible, independent, well-resourced and respect due process rights
- Enhance the capacity, professionalism, accountability and legitimacy of the security forces, police and judiciary
- Reduce organized crime, including illicit flows and trafficking (of people, arms, drugs, finance, and wildlife)
- Reduce the number of IDPs and refugees
These targets are measurable, often using data that are already collected by the UN. These include data on refugees and IDPs, on illicit arms flows and trafficking, on violent and conflict deaths. The UN's Rule of Law Indicators can be used across several targets. Also work for the UN Statistics Commission has confirmed that measurement is feasible and has highlighted the possibility of perception indicators. An example of such a perception indicator is the number of people that report being safe to walk home at night. Many of us are already tracking progress through initiatives such as the Open Government Partnership and regional peer review mechanisms.
The goal of stable and peaceful societies forms a universal agenda. Different countries of course start from different positions. But for all of us, effective and accountable institutions build trust between the state and society. They also manage pressures that could otherwise drive conflict. They also enable a country to build its economic capacity and to deliver public services and goods to its citizens.
In particular, I would like to align myself with the statement of the Deputy Representative of Barbados who has mentioned the security initiative for the Caribbean region. As three of the countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are situated in the Caribbean (Aruba, Sint Maarten and Curaçao), we look forward to working together on that agenda.
My government welcomes the relevant part in pillar 5 in the African Common Position on the Post - 2015 development agenda. This pillar acknowledges the importance of peace and security in Africa and in the world, and it underlines the inextricable links between development and peace, security and stability.
Madame Chair,
If we are serious about our vision of leaving no one behind and about a life of dignity for all, then a goal on peaceful and stable societies must be at the heart of a truly universal post-2015 development agenda.
Let me quote the fundamental formula of the UN World Summit in September 2005. "There is no peace without development; there is no development without peace; there is no lasting peace and sustainable development without respect for human rights."
The Kingdom of the Netherlands will continue to be a partner for the United Nations and its member states for peace, justice and development to realize this visionary ambition.
Thank you for your attention.

Refinancing your mortgage is all about saving money. Sometimes even a small monthly savings can mean big changes in your life – especially when you're on a tight budget.
The money that Allison and Joe saved from their small refinance made a big difference when it came to getting out of credit card debt. This is their story:
When my fiancé, Joe, and I first discussed refinancing our mortgage back in early 2011, we were living paycheck to paycheck. We had a combined $7,000 in credit card debt and were struggling to pay it off. Every month that went by meant another interest payment at 17 percent, and though we threw extra money at the debt when we could, paying just slightly more than the minimum balance was all we could afford most months.
We weren't drowning, but we were certainly treading water. We couldn't seem to get ahead, and both of us knew that any significant upset in our life together could ruin us financially. If our condo was damaged by fire -- as had happened to another young couple in our building -- the repairs and time spent in hotels would destroy us.
We decided to refinance, hoping we would end up with a little more money in our pockets right now - even if it meant taking out another 30-year fixed-rate loan.
[Think refinancing is right for you? Click to compare rates from multiple lenders now.]
Our first time refinancing
The decision to refinance was one that changed our lives for the better in ways we didn't imagine at the time, despite us only saving a small amount – $90 per month - initially.
When our lender contacted us about refinancing, our original loan for $183,000 had an interest rate of 5.75 percent. We were paying $1,069 per month in mortgage payments, in addition to condo association dues and payments into a tax escrow. In total, we were shelling out $1,844 per month to live in our home.
Joe and I refinanced with our original lender in April 2011. At the time, the best interest rate we could get was 5.375 percent. We had good credit and stable income, but our high loan-to-value ratio meant we were refinancing through the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP). And our financial situation meant we had to roll the closing cost into the term of the loan, which meant the interest rate would be a little higher than if we'd paid out of pocket.
While we could only save a little in interest every month, we pushed forward. We had nothing to lose, and even a small savings meant we'd have a little more room in our budget each month – something we really needed.
Joe and I committed to using the savings from our refinance to change our lives for the better. It wasn't a huge amount, but that $90 per month savings allowed us to pay a fixed amount - $253 per month – toward our credit card debt. We started in June 2011, and in a little over a year we were completely free of credit card debt.
To really keep us on track, we spent any additional income that came in from bonuses and raises paying down debts, not going out for drinks.
Now we're on the road to financial well-being
Before our refinance, we were having trouble getting ahead. But since we made the move to a lower interest rate, we've been able to save and work toward paying down our mortgage. Life after our refinance means we're finally getting our finances in order. We're doing this in a few ways:
1. Overpaying our mortgage. Since getting a hold on our debt with the help of our refinance back in 2011, we now have more money to pay toward our mortgage. In addition to the $90 per month savings that we now put toward our loan, we use a portion of the money that would have been used for credit card payments to pay down our mortgage.
[Want to lower your interest rate? Click to compare rates from multiple lenders now.]
2. Building up our savings. Refinancing gave us the freedom to pay off our credit card debt, and we are determined to stay debt free. Instead of blowing the money we now have in hand on fancy dinners and vacations, we're putting as much as we possibly can into savings and retirement accounts. We aren't putting away thousands of dollars each month – yet – but the few hundred bucks we can sock away adds up.
3. Getting ready to refinance again. Our interest rate is now well above today's averages, so we're doing what we can now to prepare for another refinance. Joe and I are paying off revolving debts, keeping an eye on our credit profiles and building up our savings, all in the hopes that we'll be able to successfully refinance once property values come up a little and we can get a decent appraisal.
We can't wait to refinance again, this time saving even more money by paying our closing costs and, hopefully, locking in a lower rate. While our refinance was only a piece of our financial puzzle, that seemingly small change – only $90 per month – got us on the path to financial health.

20+ here myself. Always take extra if I feel it's needed. Sometimes I clear it with dispatch, sometimes I walk down and tell the fueler. Never had any negative repercussions. That being said there are numerous reasons this could have happened, from unforecast winds to reroutes. Maybe the Captain had been shorted gas by dispatch many times before and was sick of having to always correct it and launched to prove a point.(Written on 08/04/2016)(Permalink)
Nassau has a long runway, good CFR, and it was close. The wx on the east coast of FL was building up. As for cost, the FAA doesn't care about that in the investigation. They've already got the plane upright and it will be ferried soon.(Written on 27/03/2016)(Permalink)
As an Ex-Allegiant pilot, you won't find anyone more critical of their practices, but there are a multitude of reasons for a divert like this. The forecast could be wrong (common), the CA could be high mins, the flight could've been dispatched under an FAR 3585 exemption, or the Captain didn't want to get too far away from his divert point and have a fuel issue.(Written on 16/02/2016)(Permalink)

Narrative: On Dec 17th 2015 India's UPWA (Unemployed Pilot Welfare Association) reported based on initial interviews with their collegues, that the aircraft was being pushed back from bay 28L at Mumbai Airport following a cross bleed engine start, when after the push back got finished the technician/engineer instructed a helper to remove the tow bar with the engineer (56) facing his tow truck and having the engines in his back, his headset was on. In the meantime the crew got taxi clearance, the captain queried with the first officer whether the aircraft was clear, the first officer affirmed, and the aircraft started to move forward with both engines operating. The engineer remained unaware of the aircraft starting to move and was sucked into the right hand engine, the helper, who just spotted the aircraft's movement in time, instantly sat down and was saved that way. The UPWA stated following crucial points: 1) No chocks were applied after push back had stopped, 2) no clearance sign(Written on 17/12/2015)(Permalink)
They actually did this on the T4 taxiway leading into the ramp and ended up in a ditch.(Written on 16/12/2015)(Permalink)

This updated version includes improved graphics and more complete individual monitor well reports as well as comparisons to CBNG well production within a 1.5 mile radius of influence.
The BLM BFO deep monitoring well network measures the drawdown in the producing zones and provides data with which to evaluate potential leakage between the CBNG water-producing coal deposits and adjacent sandstone aquifers. Groundwater models and drawdown predictions are used to forecast potential hydrogeological impacts of CBNG production in Wyoming. BLM deep monitoring well data can be used to evaluate impact analysis and provide calibration data for future analysis of CBNG drawdown impacts as well as verify the assumptions made in the PRB Final Environmental Impact Statement, 2003.
The report found that The Big George Coal showed continued decline in groundwater levels as gas production increased, and the Upper Wyodak showed areas of groundwater recovery where gas production has ceased or is declining.
The report is available at: http://www.wsgs.uwyo.edu/.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

The Emery County Attorney's office has filed a charge of forcible sexual abuse against Brandy Yates. Yates was a teacher at San Rafael Junior High School in Ferron. The charge is a second degree felony because the alleged victim is a student and because of Yates' position of special trust, as defined by Utah law. Yates has been cooperating in the investigation and will be summoned into court.
Charges stem from reported incidents where Yates held parties in her home which included students. Reports of alleged underage drinking taking place at the home is also a concern.
The Emery County Sheriff's Office detectives have been investigating the allegations and taking reports and interviewing those involved.
Yates will make her first appearance in the Seventh District Court before Judge Bruce Halliday on April 18 at 9 a.m.
In a statement from the Emery County School District they said the teacher's employment with the school district has been terminated. The accusations are for conduct outside of her employment with the school district and the school district said as far as they know there was never any inappropriate behavior with students at school.
The school district is cooperating fully with the attorney's office in their investigation.
Superintendant Kirk Sitterud said as soon as he was contacted by the Sheriff's Office that there was a problem, Yates was put on administrative leave on Feb. 22. Yates employment with the school district was terminated on Feb. 24. Yates was a part-time art teacher and her contract was terminated immediately. Sitterud said, "We have had no problems with her as a teacher, she was a good teacher. This was a shock to us."

Abstract: The INSPIRE geoportal provide the means to search for spatial data sets and spatial data services, and subject to access restrictions, view and download spatial data sets from the EU Member States within the framework of the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) Directive. INSPIRE aims at making available relevant, harmonised and quality geographic information ... to support formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and activities which have a direct or indirect impact on the environment.
This version is a prototype INSPIRE geoportal and allows for discovery and viewing of spatial data sets and services. It's aim is to identify issues related to its implementation and accessing distributed INSPIRE services, to help towards the development of the operational geoportal.
The prototype INSPIRE geoportal currently accesses a limited number of discovery and view services and therefore only a few metadata for spatial data sets and services may be found and viewed. These will increase as more services become available from the EU Member States.
To ensure that the INSPIRE geoportal has a full functional access to the Discovery and View services testing is done in close cooperation with the Member States.
This allows performing any necessary modifications or adjustments to improve interoperability and the overall architecture performance and in general facilitate the way towards the full operating capability.

As we discussed last week about size options in jeans for men, we now know that we can certainly find stylish, basic men's jeans for all men great and small. But what about men of average height who may have muscular legs or an ample back side, but want to wear a pair of slim fit jeans that don't make them look bulky? Where can you find that straight leg jean that is actually straight (not relaxed) from thigh down to ankle? Some premium denim brands like G-Star really know how to do it right.
However, if you need to find a larger waist size, you'll be hard-pressed to find a place online that will carry a large assortment of outsize menswear (sizes above 36), let alone outsize jeans along with their regular offerings. At Size Menswear, we found some moderately-priced Carhartt, Adidas Originals and a stiff pair of Humor jeans (you may have seen these online at ASOS) that will likely do the trick in a 32″ or 34″ inseam. Size Menswear has made it easy for guys to shop for workwear, because they carry international brands in regular to wide waist jeans sizes. By the way, international shipping is only £4.99 ($7.69). Sweet, right?

A new study by the CDC found that Attention Deficit Hyper Activity Disorder rates among children three to 17 are higher than recent years. The disorder now tops the list at number one for mental health issues of children under 18.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study, about four million children have the disorder nationwide. That amounts to about 7 percent of children.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 found that trend does not carry over to New Mexico. Nevada and the Land of Enchantment have the lowest numbers of ADHD cases.
John Iacuone at Lovelace Health Plan said the lower than average rate could be due to the state's ethnic composition. "Since the disease is more common in white children the diverse population here keeps the incidences of ADHD low in New Mexico," said Dr. Iacuone.
The study also found that the disorder is common among boys.

Iliza Shlesinger's home is too close to pigeon sex, Hari Kondabolu critiques Super Bowl ads, and Michael Ian Black acknowledges some lingering resentment toward his kids.
they've heard the voice of God.
Now, it's not clear of that36%,
how many people are mistakingthe voice of God for
the voice of Morgan Freeman.
That's, that's an easy mistaketo make.
That's easy to confuse.
"What's that, God?
The penguins went where?"
But I do worry sometimes thatGod gets too much credit,
specifically where thatcredit should actuallybe going to mankind.
Let me explain that.
Last year, I saw the singlegreatest thing I've ever
witnessed in the flesh.
Because of "The Daily Show"I got to go to the final
Space Shuttle launch.
Has anyone here witnessed aSpace Shuttle launch in person?
Really, you have?What did you think?
Man: It was awesome.
It was awesome, it wasawesome. It was awesome.
I would say it was [bleep]awesome.
That's what I think swearwords are for.
If you don't use them, thenwhen do you deploy them?
But we basically agree.
It was the single greatest thingI've ever witnessed in my life.
I nearly cried.
And I was not expecting tofeel that way.
A lot of people theresaid they found it areligious experience.
And I found it the opposite ofthat because it is ungodly.
There is nothing more unnaturalthan a Space Shuttle launch.
It is mankind fighting natureand winning.
Nature is trying to suckus back down to earth and
we fight it by strappingourselves to the top of
a missile, and throughrocket power,
through violence and purefire,
we lift ourselves off theface of the planet,
and in doing so,basically tell Florida
to go [deleted] itself.
As I saw that moment happen,I said the only thing that
was in my heart at themoment.
I shouted out, "holy[bleep]!"
And my phone started buzzing inmy pocket: text, text, text.
When I eventually checked myphone,
it turned out that--completely accidentally,
you have to believe me.
I swear to you this is true,through complete accident.
It turned out I wasstanding directly in
Fox News' live shot.
I grew up in the projects, and
in the middle of our projectsthey build a homeless shelter.
And we used to tease the kidsthat lived in the shelter
'cause they was the only peoplewe knew poorer than us.
And we thought somehow theywere messing up our property
value by being homeless likethis.
I had a friend that livedin the shelter named
Homeless Dave and... wehad another Dave so...
That's what happens if yougrow up really poor and you
have a common name, we pickthe worst part of your life
and make it your new nickname.
Like, I had a friend we usedto call Robocop for years
because he wore braceson his legs...
and he walked likeRobocop to us.
It's messed up. Itwasn't his real name.
His real name was Crippled Greg
but we called himRobocop... 'cause...
I don't know.
I was in the hoodrecently and I, uh,
I walked into this bodega andI heard this dude yell out,
"nah, son, get theFiji! Evian is gross!"
I laughed for, like, threedays after that, man.
That's how dope it is to bean American.
Our poor people have specificwater tastes.
All our poor people gotcamera phones.
My nephew's got a cameraphone.
He's ten years old whichsucks for him because I can't
imagine what it must belike for him to go through
a fifth grade math class witha device in his pocket that
could answer all of life'squestions for him...
and show him pictures oftitties in high definition.
You want this kid to payattention in class, really?
He doesn't have attentiondeficit, he's got,
he's got titties in hispocket, is what he's got.
That's why he can't focus,man.
That's too much technologyfor a kid, man.
The closest thing I had to acamera phone when I was ten
was a calculator and I'd sit
I'm so happy to be outtraveling. I love
coming to New York, and I lovejust not being home,
because I, uh, this is sopersonal but I'm gonna tell you
'cause you're here, uh...what else do we have to do?
I can't sleep at my housebecause some pigeons
moved onto the balconyat my house...
it's a ledge but Icall it a balcony.
Put a chair there.
It's also not ahouse. Irrelevant.
And they have pigeon sex,like, all the time.
Yeah, you think it's funny.
It would be fine if it soundedlike pigeons but it doesn't.
See, to me, pigeons havingsex-- when I fantasize about
pigeons having sex-- youwould think it would sound
something like this.
Here we go, pigeons havingsex.
That sounds like Predator.
That doesn't sound... pigeon atall.
They're both have red eyes.
All right, here we go, pigeonhaving sex.
Right? Oh, what, New York,you're so outdoorsy
all of a sudden?
"No, that's a North AmericanWhitetail Dove.
"Everybody knowsthat. Come on!"
Good ear though, similarmigration pattern.
It doesn't sound like that.
That's what's so frustratingand disturbing.
It's very disconcerting.
Three in the morning, you'redead asleep.
You wake up to this,you're just like...
"Oh, Barry!"
It's probably not my pigeons.
Uh, so I can't sleepso I stay up a lot.
I watch a lot of TV and, youknow, I love commercials.
I think they're the bestsketch comedy out there,
so I watch a lot ofcommercials.
And sometimes they havecommercials, they want
you to donate money: save thedogs,
save the cats, save the otherthings.
And sometimes they'll havesave the polar bears, which,
I don't want to sound likea dick but it's just
kind of not a priority forme.
There's so many other thingswe have to worry about:
economy, environment, uh,each other,
manicure, pedicure, polarbears...
I'm not even 1000% sure thatthey exist.
How do you know?
Why, 'cause Coca Cola puts 'emon their can during Christmas?
They also put Santa Claus.What's your [bleep] point?
I think I'm bothered by itthe most because the actual
That usually surprisespeople because,
uh, look at me.
Why would I cheer for mynatural predator?
It's a great Superbowl thisyear not only because of
the game but, of course, for theincredible commercials.
One big achievement inSuperbowl commercials this
year, of course, was theomission of a particular type
of sexist commercial andthat's the commercial where a
man chooses a beer over awoman.
You know, in all thesecommercials? Right?
The archetype is basicallythe man and the woman are
chatting in a bar and all ofa sudden,
he gets distracted and looksaway and will say,
"oh, my God, that's amazing."
And she'll thinkthey're still talking.
So she'll be like,"really, you think so?"
And then he'll be like, "no, notyou, that beer over there.
"Not you, object, that object."
That's basically thatbeer commercial.
Now some of you might bethinking,
"Hari Kondabolu, how do youknow that man was even
interested in that woman?
How do you know that manwasn't a gay alcoholic?"
No, progressive dreamer,we're not there yet.
I thought I would tell you astory tonight,
uh, about my wife and mychildren.
"I thought he was gay!" No.
Married... to a lady... with apenis.
I have two children right now:
eight and eleven and,you know, they're fine.
Uh, well, they are, they'refine, you know, but I... yeah,
I love 'em but I have a lotof,
I have some lingeringresentment towards them,
particularly the older, myson,
whose name I cannot rememberbut...
And it's because when we hadhim,
I was not ready to be aparent.
I don't know that anybody isever fully ready.
I was not ready and this wasa couple of years after I got
married and my wife said,"you know what?
I think we shouldhave kids now."
And I said, "I also think weshould have kids not now."
And I wanted kids, youknow, but I wanted them in
a kind of abstract way like theway I might want a jukebox,
for example.
You know, like you're everreading,
like, "Sky Mall" or somethingand,
like, there's this amazingjukebox and you're like,
"oh, it's a classic jukeboxfrom the '50s.
"That's an amazing jukebox. Iwant to get that jukebox...
That's how I was with kids.
And she was like, "but I'mgetting old and I don't
want to be an oldmom," and I'm like,
"but I'm the same age as youand I'm not getting old,
but I understood what shemeant because,
reproductively speaking,ladies,
you peak early.
You are the Frankie Muniz ofgenders.
So you just need to get itdone and because I love her,
I agreed to put a baby inher.
Not literally becauseI wouldn't do that
to her or the baby.
I mean, I don't have a baby,but if I did, I wouldn't
put it in her, not withoutthe proper tools, you guys.

By Carl Smith/The Commercial Dispatch
STARKVILLE — A proposed public transportation system linking the entire community is on track and should help lower traffic congestion, aid economic development efforts and strengthen the bond between Starkville and Mississippi State University, according to local officials.
During a Wednesday public forum, MSU Director of Parking Operations Mike Harris said 12 buses are expected to arrive this fall as part of the first fleet for the Starkville-MSU Rapid Area Transit system. The university previously received a $2.4 million federal grant to fund operating costs and purchases and will continue seeking annual installments for future costs.
Three routes are planned for the system: a historic downtown route, a city circular route and one connecting neighborhoods near the Starkville Sportsplex to the university. The routes were designed, Harris said, with the goal of providing access to shopping, banking, city services, health care, public housing, recreation and high-density residential areas.
Bus shelters will be constructed at various stopping points along each route, Harris said, and the system will be free to all passengers. GPS systems currently in use with campus routes will be in place to let passengers know where buses are on a route, how long it will take to get to their location and the vehicle's occupancy load.
The historic downtown route will feature a trolley bus with wooden benches and brass fittings, Harris said. The route will temporarily start near Giles Hall until a future parking structure is built behind campus' YMCA building. Construction on that facility, he said, is still almost two years away.
Two buses will service the city circular route, which will take passengers to various commercial and health care facilities across Starkville. Due to the size of the route and its number of stops, one bus will run the route in a clockwise fashion while the other runs counterclockwise.
The Sportsplex route has been up and running since last fall. It connects Lynn Lane neighborhoods with a hub at Montgomery Hall on the MSU campus, which is the terminus for the school's campus transit system. This route averages 150-160 passengers per day, Harris said.
All three routes have coordinated drop-off locations which will grant passengers access to other routes, including campus-specific routes. Harris said MSU's shuttle system averages about 4,500 passengers per day.
The downtown and city circular routes will run 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, while the Sportsplex route will run during the same hours but not on Saturday.
"We want to be efficient, economical, dependable, safe and environmentally friendly," Harris said.
By providing comprehensive point-to-point public transit, Harris said the SMART system will relieve local traffic congestion and preserve many campus green spaces. He said the instability of gasoline prices is another reason public transportation should find success in Starkville.
"We need to get people out of those single-occupant vehicles. If 20 or 30 people ride the bus, that's 20 or 30 fewer cars on the highway," Harris said. "Campus parking lots are bursting at the seams. We can build more parking lots … but is that the best use of the land on campus? Paving over our green spaces is not what we want to do."
Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman said the SMART system could also help provide residents without automobiles a way to work during the week. One of the most common barriers to long-term employment is the lack of viable transportation, he said.
SMART routes will link residents to various commercial and industrial areas throughout Starkville.
"That's where the real economic development opportunities are," Wiseman said. "If you're in a community that has no mass transit, then not having a viable personal vehicle can mean the difference between getting to work and not getting to work."
The transit system is also expected to bring more shoppers to downtown retail areas. Recently, the city began enforcing two-hour downtown parking standards after business owners complained about parking issues.
"With parking at a premium, free transportation from campus to downtown and back provides access to dining, shopping and activities while preserving some existing parking," Greater Starkville Development Partnership CEO Jennifer Gregory said.

It's out !
It's out !
I really liked the Frederica/Amamiya/Ageha boob thing .
Avatar and Signature by Ravona
is it just me or was there no mention of a meteorite before and this whole meteorite-kills-the-world scenario is totally new? cuz i don't remember anything about it.
Sigs and Ava by Ravona
It has never been shown how the world was destroyed, so now we know. What's the problem?
Avatar and Signature by Ravona
Remember this guys? This is only a prediction but I think that the meteorite as shown in the picture was a test of the WISE whether they can control the course of the objects in the outer space. ie asteroid /meteors
Additional proof of my prediction. In addition, let me throw another prediction. It says the meteor was "missing vital fragments" which made me think, could it be ingriedients to make Tavoo? If it is, then it lead us to why the WISE needed a bigger source which is Uroboros.
WHOA !! D. Gray-Man & Psyren are in a separate section already!
Some fan service, but Amamiya's figure is petite. Damn. Frederica is still hot for me.
LOL @ Ageha
Emmm Frederica have "feelings" for Ageha? =) And Amamiya was soooo cute <3
that's my man Ageha! other than that, I want to know who created Nemesis Q.
All this time in the hideout, I think Hiryuu has already fallen to the ground - dont you think? and is now a squished bug.
What is uttered from the heart alone, will win the hearts of others to your own.

The RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, or "QE2" as she was affectionately known, was an ancient Earth luxury liner that sailed that planet's Atlantic Ocean in the late 20th century and early 21st century. The vessel was noted for her excellent staff and service, which Ralph Offenhouse evoked at one point when complaining to Captain Picard about his treatment. (TNG: "The Neutral Zone")

It should come as no surprise that when it comes to the design and fabric choice of even our furniture we'd totally go for something vintage that is covered in (you guessed it) denim. We are totally crushing over this killer 1960s-style club chair and equally amazing sofa that we came across on 1stdibs.com. They're upholstered in inside-out denim, which gives them a cool subtle look, and finished off with an inside-out inseam trim. The part we really dig though is that like with any pair of jeans they'll fit perfectly into any style of home decor from modern and contemporary to something more casual and relaxed. Need we say more?
